Come on, we've seen us the most sophisticated terrorist group
we've ever seen. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. Sunday,
September 7 2014. Time for your gizmo nation media
assassination, Episode 650. This is no agenda with the final
broadcast from the Wi Fi enabled canal house in the pipe in the
heart of Amsterdam in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where there is no Wi Fi. I'm
John C. Dvorak.
I'll give you a five for creative execution on that. Yes.
sucked. There is no Wi Fi. What does that even mean?
It doesn't mean anything. It was just dumb. Okay, thank
you just want to make sure we're all straight on that. Okay, and
so my last show from my joke of it, I do have Wi Fi No, that's
so it's not very funny joke.
That's what it was. No, it was a bomb. It was a complete total
disaster.
We were listening. We were listening to Episode Six for
Niner. Literally, Miss Mickey and I. She could not listen to
it live. And I think today we finally fix it. So she can she's
in the bedroom and she can listen to the show live with a
little stream delay. Which she misses it.
Yeah, she does. Because she gives her the opportunity to
come into the studio and punch you in the arm episode.
Exactly. With a delayed reaction. Whenever I say you
know it's coming
at you. Because it's like three minutes ago.
Exactly. Why we were listening to the show. And I apologize. I
don't think I noticed that. What about the birthday party though?
We had like a 30 minute thing about my 50th birthday party was
and how nice it was. And Mickey said that. Oh, listen to John.
He's he's playing Happy Birthday on the harmonica.
which I presume you had studied? Yes. Ah.
You did right. times you paid zero attention. Yeah,
but it's it's I'm a little trained to ignore the noise and
known as the harmonica so that I could continue with the program.
But I thought that was so sweet. that I wanted to give you some
inspiration for some other things. I think you should play
with a harmonica and it would come in handy during the show.
I have a pen that well.
You don't need a pen just listen this is here's one I'd like you
to be able to play
Do you know what yeah no, I can't I don't know how they get
those those piano tones. If you could just have them for I don't
know how they do it. I don't have babies especially
if this is to T LeMans. By the way Dutch on the famous heart
players listen to this for the theme from Midnight Cowboy it's
such a classic John you can do that. It's all down Don't you
think that will be good? You could play that for me.
Well, yeah, I could do it i You do an under play while you're
you when you're sorry. Tails yes
exam or or I have another one. This is a little more
contemporary, but still from our youth. Now if you could do this
one. Yeah. You think you could do this without down? Down,
down, down, down? Down? You can do that. I can do that. And it's
super trail. Take the long way home.
Dead or dead? You could just do that. Pretty damn data. Doom
data. Dude, hit me fat me.
That would be perfect. If you could do that.
Yes. All right. And your timeframe
and stuff. Just thought I'd give you a little inspiration my
friend.
Yeah. No, I was hoping you give me some more harmonic cats.
Looking for there will be none
of that new
harmonic cats. That's what I'm going for.
Well, John, let's let's get into some news here. This is of
course as my last. My last show live here from Amsterdam. I'll
be returning back to home base. On Tuesday, our
last report directly from the feets on the ground in the euro
zone.
Correct. And there's a lot to discuss. But the thing that is
I'm feeling a little unsure about although you warned us
months in advance is this Ebola thing?
This is getting a little annoying.
I don't know if you saw the it's a link in the show notes. It
actually caught my eye because it was one of those listicles
and you know how listicles work like a must click of analytical
is 16 apocalyptic quotes from health global health officials
about this horrific Ebola epidemic and it's from the
Economic Collapse Blog which tells you kind of about the
source but they You have 16
Just not 33 Now,
so I was reading through them. And there is only one non real
obvious shill in this list. But let me just give me a few. And
then I have clips. And I believe you have some clips too. So Tom,
Dr. Tom Frieden, who is the Director of the Centers for
Disease Control, he says it is the world's first Ebola
epidemic. And it is spiraling spiraling out of control. It's
bad now. And it's going to get worse in the very near future.
This is where the Midnight Cowboy thing will be good.
There's still a window of opportunity to tamp it down. But
that window is closing and this quote and this from the church,
chan woman and all these different people, all Doctors
Without Borders. Everybody's in a tizzy. But it was this
particular quote that sent me to go look in a little bit. And
here is Sanjay Gupta. And he is, you know, he's funny. He's the
he's the CNN, Doctor guy. And this is I think, the intro he
has on with him. Rajiv Shah. And you know, my take on this Ebola
thing has been this is a threat to African nations. And it is
our way of saying that either you let us in or we're going to
kill you with Ebola. Because clearly we can save our own
people, we have the M zap or whatever it's called. And that
seems to be there's none left.
You didn't get the latest I'm sorry. Well,
I'm sure we can make some more. But here he is. And this is when
the lights start to go off in my head. We know how it spreads. We
know how to stop it from this is free to free. What's his name,
the freedom Doctor, I'm spreading.
The challenge is to do that everywhere that's needed.
But frankly, you know, I'm not entirely sure what that means. I
think details really do matter here. And we haven't heard
enough specifics of the plan. And we certainly haven't seen
enough results. And in that vein, I want to bring in Dr.
Rajiv Shah, he's the head of the US AI D. He's also I think, fair
to say the new man in charge of the United States Ebola
response. Welcome back to the program.
Okay. All right.
So now the head of us AI D is in charge of the Ebola response
from America. Not the CDC. No, no, the view one USA ID Well,
I'll let this guy talk for a moment, then we'll talk about
who he is.
Thank you, Sanjay. Thanks for having me. Let me
let me just start off by asking you a broader question. What is
the United States obligation in something like this? And how and
how and when does that get determined?
The United States obligation is actually quite clear. It's to
mount and to help support an international effort to help our
Liberian colleagues get over this Ebola crisis. And Dr.
Frieden is exactly right to point out with 3500 cases and
1900 deaths. This is an urgent epidemic that demands an urgent
and at scale response. And we have a clear strategy that we're
pursuing together with international partners to make
sure that that happens.
So this is this is the guy we've talked about him before he came
from the mill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Right, that guy, he
was the big guy on campus there. And then he moved into 2009, US
AI D. Big pals with Hillary, we played several clips. And he
talks here now with Sanjay, about the strategy and the
investments and all kinds of very interesting words he's
using to describe our how we are going to tamp the Ebola crisis,
there simply has not been nearly enough treatment available for
people with Ebola, which is why we're now pursuing a strategy of
getting 1000 beds set up in Liberia to treat patients with
Ebola. And yesterday, we noted a big increase of our investment
of 75 million additional dollars.
What do you think he means by that our investment? It can only
mean that if you invest, you expect to receive a bigger
return at some nominal risk of losing all your money, but
investing to me sounds like there's something else going on.
Do you feel this is just normal speech for USA ID?
Yes, I do. I don't think it's a red flag personally. Well,
maybe, especially it came from Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation. They talk about Valley bullshit terminologies
to help make sure that as a well resourced, that scale and
effective response.
You mentioned some of the specifics of the dollar amount,
the number of beds that will be created as a result of that.
What about the infrastructure Overall, these problems that you
describe are not going to go away? Right. This is a response
to an outbreak right now. We know there's another outbreak
happening in Congo a different strain of Ebola. These happen
all the time. How Why won't each outbreak in the future be like
this? Notice As the way outbreaks are going to be,
this should not be the way outbreaks are going to be
handled. In fact, that's why we're putting in place a
strategy that will tamp this down in West Africa.
Okay, so this is now the second time I've heard the word tamp,
and
you will have heard I got written both of them down.
And it's annoying because pipe smoker. Well, the word tamp by
no means does it mean stop Ebola, eradicate remove it from
the face of the earth? No, it means just to pat down lightly.
Why and then the Director of the CDC also use this word. Why are
we using the word tamp?
I think that's an interesting observation. And I
think there's this is what made me feel that that is a threat in
a way like I will just tamp it down. But don't worry. By the
way, in Dutch tamp has a whole different connotation. There's
also some thrusting stuff but but we have this like perfect
storm of this combo of the Power Africa, which is the big
initiative that President Obama had all of the African African
leaders over with their their shakin sticks and their bacon
hats and their capes and and all of this regal stuff, they walk
her and their supermodel wives. We we have now confirmed Power
Africa is a US government organization has a has, in total
received a $6 billion investment, a much of which is
coming from the private sector. As you can imagine General
Electric. It's very it's a very interesting little thing. They
put together this Power Africa. And if you look at the countries
and this is the tube, Power Africa, where it's the kick out
the Chinese I guess I don't know exactly what it is. Other than
you know, the economic hitman stuff. The countries of
Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria and Tanzania. So we've
got two down I'm looking at Ethiopia, Ghana. I think Ghana
already has the Ebola. Has Kenya received it
yet? No.
Keeping this list handy, we'll call it the Ebola six
key bowlers six,
just in case. Well, it seems like seems like a coincidence
that the parts of this list are now covered in Ebola. And then
we have these just fantastic videos for us. Although I think
this is BBC. This was this was really good. This was like, like
right out of the World War Z zombie script.
And I think Pictures has emerged of an Ebola patient who escaped
quarantine, being chased by a panicked mob in Liberia
is a guy walking around all sweaty and the mob is like, Oh,
the man left hospital looking for food when he was spotted by
people at a market. He armed himself with a stick and tried
to run away from doctors who will call them to catch him.
After hosing him down, he was taken to hospital. They hosed
him down. More than 1500 people in four West African countries
have died from Ebola since the outbreak.
I think we'll see more of this and I think that should have
been I have
I have it clipped. From last show. I carried it forward, you
can play it. Another example of this sort of thing that public
panicking.
The guy here. Ebola guy
next to wood world is losing the battle to contain Ebola. That's
a DIRE WARNING WARNING from medical agency medicines on
frontier is calling for a global biological disaster response to
get aid and personnel to West Africa. The comments came as a
third American health worker tested positive for the deadly
virus while working with patients in Liberia while a man
affected with Ebola managed to escape treatment center and a
capital Monrovia sparking panic.
Is this a different guy escaping? Yeah. We need to be a
little more zombie like
populations. Yes.
The man in the red shirt has just escaped from quarantine
center in Monrovia after testing positive for Ebola. He's been
roaming through a local market of food.
It's the same guy. Same
story, though they have it they portray it differently. Like
some dude who has chickenpox He has a fever made this great
story out.
Slowly an angry mob closes in on the patient as he tries to push
them away with stones. Local residents are fed up and
this is bullcrap. Oh, what ended there? What happened?
I ended it. Oh, I just wandered in it was pushing him away with
stones.
I have a question for you. Of all the philanthropy going on,
including in Africa, the end reading from reading into and
extrapolating from the comments from done DR. RAJIV SHAH of us
AI D, the price tag for Stopping Ebola. Ebola is about $600
million. This would stop it and West Africa would stop it in
Nigeria. And it would certainly protect the United States from
this. Why doesn't Bill Gates write a check? Well, I
have a whole bunch of clips that I have, from my almost 234 shows
ago that I got to bring back into the discussion. I don't
believe they want to stop it way. And I think what they want
to do, and I got enough documentation, I think I can
prove this, or at least through clip edge, that they just want
to turn Africa into a testing ground for Africans been
attacked for for Ebola, Ebola vaccines and advanced forms of
Ebola. And, you know, just use the Africans as guinea pigs,
which is not something new. I mean, there's just lots of
documentation. In fact, I had a printout here And
isn't that what they've been doing all along with the HPV
which is you know, which is is killed?
Ebola was been a tough nut to crack because everybody thinks
that the Europeans are bringing Ebola in right, which may be
true. Yeah. And so they have to be convinced of good intentions.
And so I think they're gonna let this thing simmer for awhile. I
don't see it that at 1900 people. You we remember when
this began, which was over a month ago, maybe two months ago,
it was a long time. Yeah, don't really have this many, you know,
like, fourth lesson 4000 People infected a night is, is
disappointing, to say the least. It's very disappointing and much
lower than you'd think if there's an audit control
situation,
although you see, I don't think I clipped this. This is, though
this is from Yahoo. And then you bola could reach the United
States by the end of the month.
Yeah, right.
It's already in the United States. They brought some people
in here, although that could be bullcrap, by the way, and then
they got some guy in Minnesota now for some unknown reason.
Anyway, please, I get to Margaret Chan. You know, there
are W H. O nutball. Yes, competent woman making some
commentary. And I think it's funny that this disease, which
is supposed to be endemic to bats, and all, you know, some
other things, which I still think is a created disease from
for Dietrich, that I think she almost kind of says that when
she gives us a little report here,
this Ebola epidemic is the largest and most severe and most
complex we've ever seen, in the nearly 40 year history of this
disease. No one, even outbreak responders would experience
dating back to 1976 to 1995. People that were directly
involved with those outbreaks, none of them have ever seen any
thing like it.
What you're saying is this, this version of Ebola was at Fort
Dietrich creation or Ebola in January this
version came from but this is a new version, obviously, because
it's got a new name point. Oh, yes. 2.0. And it's got this a
little harder to contain, although once it goes into the
urban setting, the I don't know this whole thing is fishy.
Well, that's why I'm calling it the Ebola six. I feel that yes,
maybe testing. Yes. Always good to scare the public. They have
these guys, they love it. Yeah.
I think what they would like, even though this is a little
second part of the show, and who was they? Who was they in this
day, the shadow government, the New World Order? Yes. They would
like to get rid of Africans in some way that's extremely
selective and then is this Ebola thing? Because we had all these
Caucasians catching the disease and then having to be brought
back to the United States for treatment so they could better
study it maybe centrifuge reversal.
But why would we want to get rid of the Africans don't want
people to work there have been for the mining and everything we
do. We don't even want that.
As you know the you want or you want some people there is right
now. It's it's just, it's not controllable. The Chinese bring
their own people into work, right? Even the Chinese don't
use many African workers, the Africans are flying with it,
because Chinese actually build roads. And actually, please
really do this. MIT puts you squarely in one of the largest
conspiracy theorists camps, that AIDS was created to diminish
Africans, Africa's population. And he has he says hello Is John
there? Who are you and what have you done with the real John C.
Dvorak. This does fit in with what's happening with with HPV
was at Columbia, maybe they were testing it over there were a lot
of Colombians that had
very adverse reaction V thing I think is just pure money
grabbing pure money and now I have you got to play this. This
is you have more to talk about Ebola. You can do it I'm sure
this but so I'm watching New York. This is what's going on in
New York right now. On the television. This is an HPV
what's the name of this clip?
HPV vaccine die this okay in this
today, you can help protect your preteen against several deadly
cancers. Today, you can save their life because today, you
can ask their doctor about the HPV vaccine. You can cut their
risk for certain HPV related cancers by up to 99%. So protect
your preteen son or daughter with the HPV vaccine today, talk
to their doctor call 311 or search HPV on nyc.gov. The HPV
vaccine one day, it could save your child's life.
Now this to me was, wow. This is the nyc.gov this is the city of
New York's advertiser. They're all in on it. Sure. And they're
all in on this and this is a very expensive, did they
didn't even hear a potential, you know, side effects or any of
that which seems to me that would be if this is pretty much
an advertisement for Gardasil. I don't think there's anyone else
who there is one competing one, but even so, Gardasil pretty
much is the winner in the HPV vaccination, shouldn't they say,
you know, here are the things the adverse effects if you know,
if you have anal leakage, call your doctor or something like
that.
I wonder I'm wondering why it's not there. It's just a straight
out commercial is it today today the US by the way, every time
they say today, a big round logo shows up. That's it has today
written on it. I think there's some campaign that is going to
use this logo today today today. And I thought it was an onerous
commercial. There was no nothing negative about it because which
by the way, if you think about it, you're watching these types
of commercials and you get used to that little threat at the end
to your health just because you don't get one on the show. Well,
I must be safe. Yeah. The question you asked is the
question you should ask.
Here let me see I had one second
there I did not clip this but there was a report and I don't
know let
me back up a second by the way my this concept of me being a
crackpot because of this aids being created in the lab. I'm
not the only one a that believes this is a possibility but the
New York Times itself in the 80s said this I remember reading
really
the times itself wrote this Yeah. Oh. Well, first of all I
am I'm not calling you out of some crackpot I'm just saying
that in general if you went to a party with all your your
reporter friends and you said Well, this looks man made just
like aids to kill off Africans. I have a feeling you may get
some strange looks.
You know, less than you think.
You have cool friends obviously. That's not true. You don't have
any friends.
Well, I have friends but cool.
Can't find this report. It was a video I did not clip I didn't
think we'd be talking about a tape but the context was they
they're doing it maybe it maybe it was from New York, where
there was some health officials and they were seeing how many in
classrooms how many girls if they didn't say girls and boys,
which of course you should give it to your boy because you know,
he's going to get asked cancer or throat cancer or something
because of the HPV and his incredibly horrible ways. I know
I can find this clip. I'm sorry. It actually I think it's worth
just two seconds of me looking for this video because it was
disturbing to hear what the conclusion was as to why only
half of children have received this Gardasil HPV vaccine. And I
have it here, but can you play a little harmonica?
harmonica is really you can
I could use a little harmonica at this point would really be
helpful
Yes, it's not going very well. Okay. Anyway, so the answer is
are the big pay Half of this of this piece is this official says
the reason why only 50% But he said unanimously, the girls had
not the 50% of the girls who had not had the shot was because
their fathers didn't want them to have it. They were apparently
the fathers then think if they if they get this shot, that they
will then immediately want to start having sexual relations
because you're protected. Which is such a double crazy ass
message. A triple really it's a triple whammy one. Men are suck.
Well, it's theirs. And it also has a subtext. Yes.
Which is each okay, go screw around because this is the sub
text is
nut ball Christians. Well, yes. That's the sub that that yes, it
just don't want to say it. Yes. So it is Christian nut balls.
They get it who else would not want their kid to have sex but a
Christian?
I got a note which it disturbed me somewhat because I it was
about you really? And of course whenever it's about you, they
email me. Yeah, Antonia and Tony, one of our listeners.
Antonia Yes, Antonia. Dear Adam and John my smart wonderful
boyfriend who has been a monthly no agenda donor for a couple
years ago and alerted me to your best podcast in the universe
several months ago and I've abandoned This American Life and
Ted Talks to listen to no agenda religiously ever since.
I got a copy of this as an adjunct professor
and pro her pro blow and an extrovert respectively.
She's a stripper professor. I didn't get this note.
No, I did. I got I got the pictures. As a as she is an
adjunct professor in media I believe in media media
something. Media Studies as an adjunct professor and pro hooker
pro blow and extra perspective. Oh, yes. He's pro hooker pro
blow and ex stripper respective ex stripper.
Okay, so as you see, she stripped her way through
college. It's actually not in youth and
we encourage this behavior, if necessary, who teaches Media
Writing Nago? I value your cultural analysis and humor. One
of the things I love about you guys, particularly the dear
bright John C. Dvorak. Yeah, is that you deconstruct and
criticize all members of the media regardless of their
gender. However, John, oh, your desperation to be a more refined
Howard Stern is turning you into a sexist douchebag par
excellence lately, especially in Episode 648 and in 649. Okay,
although I am used to Adam being a tad chauvinistic. The huge
disappointment came when John fell for it. He never does that.
Well. Listen.
I'm listening.
Traditionally, John show self restraint. I do tell me not
cowboy would sound great under this. It would Yeah, he is not
trying so hard to be cute. I guess that means like I am so
yes, yes. So never goes for sexual innuendo. But this last
show, he was a total misogynist. He accused women of blowing
dudes for gigs as if they have no other way to become
successful if they are beautiful. And now you are both
on the boring pedestrian sexist, same page. Please refrain from
being pigs in human clothing. We women are counting on you and we
are listening respects your lady listeners.
So I I made some reference to I think some person that I believe
may be incompetent and could not have made her way to her
position in life without giving away sexual favors. But
she apparently she was beautiful. And therefore your
assumption was that she could only advance herself
professionally or in the class
misunderstanding.
I don't remember. It was a misunderstanding.
There's plenty of smart beautiful women, you know, to
put enough makeup on
don't send john@curry.com not Adam curry.com John and
curry.com. But it's, I find it so interesting. Never do I get
an email saying, Hey, man, you really should stop saying
horrible things about how John Kerry looks with his big
watermelon head man that he's so dumb that it can only make it
through his money and through his family connections. Or I
don't think we've ever said I've gotten an email ever but anyone
who's cute and beautiful male or female that we then it's kind of
one sided. You know,
ya know, it's very sexist on her part.
I find it to be somewhat sexist. Where's the real outrage? The
real outrage that I have is it's is an area that is a great
discomfort for me because I know nothing about it. But I was
paying attention to this Michael Sam being cut from the Broncos
whatever team he was with. And immediately the gay sports
press, which is the outdoor sports observer or something?
We're saying sports press
is pretty much most of the sports press.
Bingo Boom shakalaka
saying, well, if Michael Sam doesn't get picked up by now
their team will know it's homophobia. And this was it.
That was I was so insulted. You want to talk about horrible
insults? No, but now listen to the NFL or on ESPN. These are
this all paid for? It's all the NFL. Here's what they say about
this situation which has now we have Michael Sam has been picked
up to play on a training team for the Dallas Cowboys. By
itself just hilarious that the big red homophobic redneck gun
toting kill the faggot state of Texas will go I can't believe we
hired one of them.
On this kickoff weekend we turned down to Peter King and
pro football talks Mike Florio guys. Dan, when the Rams
Wade Michael San, first openly gay player trying to make an NFL
roster. He was unemployed for two days. During that time, a
league official contacted multiple teams and asking if
they had evaluated Sam as a possible practice squad player.
Now Sam, and the NFL avoided a nightmare situation when he
signed with the practice squad of the Dallas Cowboys on
Wednesday. Mike
Embiid What could that nightmare situation be?
He didn't get a job.
No. The NFL avoided a nightmare situation, not him.
Well, I mean to them a nightmare situation is adverse publicity
and this to say that this the league is homophobic. Yeah, or
the league is this league is that I mean, Michael Sam may not
be that good is probably if some guy, I mean, let's go and I hate
to even bring this up. And we had a guy that was that was the
defensive end for the San Francisco 40 Niners named
Charles Haley. And Charles Haley was a nightmare situation and
himself. One of the greatest defensive ends ever play ended
up going to Dallas, and they took them to a Super Bowl. He
used to masturbate in the in the team meetings, and do all sorts
of things like this. And he was just a so disgusting person that
will will.
He would masturbate in the meeting and like in the meeting
room with the conference, say yes,
yes. And he was this massive guy that could beat the shit out of
anybody. And just a very strange person. Yeah, this is very this
was discussed by a number of X players. They used to say, jeez,
this guy didn't know what no one knew what to do. There was just
the it was like the millennials that don't know what to do when
somebody cuts in line. You don't know what to do when you have
this massive superstar player that's exposing himself
constantly in team meetings, because you just don't know what
to do. I know
what I do. This is a sex crime is what I'd say you are now
committing a sex crime.
It
just didn't work out. It's a strange it's actually what they
did. Sex. They turned it into what team the Dallas Cowboys.
Ah, okay. It seems to me that the Dallas Cowboys pick up a lot
of guys that are
they pick up a lot of gay guys. Do you really want to phrase it
that way?
No, I don't want to. But I said don't fit in. I don't think that
Haley was anything but just weird. But I don't know. It's
just
really weird. Thanks. Weird. Thank
you. Thank you. I appreciate that.
Well, this I'm glad you brought this up. Because this does play
into you. You brought up the fact that FF FF FF I'm reading
articles about the Fappening and how this is now being turned
into the war on men. And how the act of downloading and
publishing these pictures is an act of violence towards women.
Oh, these phony pictures. Is that back here to do? Okay,
well, I'm telling you what, what I'm feeling out there in the
land. And it's here I have a quote here. That was Brett's
very it's really disturbing how this is being taught being
picked up. That this is because this wasn't a sex crime. Here it
is. It's a sex crime was now this is being called a segment
of women like Lena Dunham, who produces girls and yes doubt
lesbian doesn't matter but they're calling this particular
now and that was
a war against men and it's an out lesbian. I think it matters
to know this. Okay, no, yes. Was your premise.
I didn't know she was a lesbian. Yeah,
So they are now saying because this is a sex crime, and it's a
sex crime against your will it is being equated to rape.
Yeah, this would be typical. Yeah. And I find this wholly
disturbing.
Let's see you take a selfie of yourself naked? Not a
particularly you know, you had you have some buttplate when I
never saw that picture. Well, I go ahead fine, man. I've
searched up sources different than mine. But blog.com or
something, I'm not sure. What do you Oh, no, no, whatever the
case, most of these pictures of the Jennifer Lawrence pictures
were the good examples. And she's just sitting there doing
nothing. And it's not even a good there's not nothing
pornographic about any of the pictures of that of her that I
saw. And I don't see a word that this equates to anything but
publicity stunt
well, but I think it's very obvious where this is gonna go.
Now that this is being deemed, and I'm sure someone somewhere
will actually put in legislation and say this is a sex crime.
They're equating it to the revenge porn. And even though
it's just publishing, then there are certain rules for what you
can and cannot do. This is going to be unlawful content or
unlawful network traffic.
Absolutely. So this is all part of the Giants game to censor, to
free speech. What it is, as far as I'm concerned, is free
speech.
I agree. I think it's free. The fact that women do this as free
speech. You can look at property laws. But you know, there's
there's a lot to be said, Who owns the photograph, and how
that is being monetized. And you know, the legality of that.
Which, by the way, the mainstream has very little
regard for it's not like they're showing you to videos and
sending a check to the so called rebels in Ukraine. Thanks for
letting us use that, you know, but they may be sending a check
to YouTube. I don't know who knows what those guys are doing.
I think this is the biggest example of a mountain out of a
molehill these these photos? I don't think they were a big
deal. I don't care about these about a half of them I never
heard of but you can say that about most of the 10 Worst
Dressed Women at the Oscars and then you look at two or three of
them you never know who are these people? And I just
couldn't get into the story and I'm not into the story. I know
but I'm wondering why everybody is so fascinated by it. Because
I believe there that if you looked at everybody cell phone,
I believe pretty much every woman and I'm going to say this
very specifically this is
this is the letter to Adam this is right.
This is a is a predominantly female
affliction. And I am going so far as to say it is a
psychological issue which could be a it's a disease and you can
see it the combination of social media predominantly Facebook but
you can link your what is your Instagram that which is Facebook
to that with smartphones with camera capability and and a
social network with feedback which you click on like and then
your phone goes blink because you've seen the likes I sent you
an article I don't know if you had time to read that. This
morning it's called Patricia smartphone on if you saw that
it's it's I did not to fit the fiction little story about a
girl on her smartphone and her her weekend with her friends.
And then it's it's very correct. It's very true to a crazy degree
of how women in particular are being, I think zombified into a
state of suspended reality. Kate Bush, who I interviewed when I
was 19 God that I loved I love Kate Bush when I was 19. And
there's even video still on YouTube and she I think she was
22 when she's this at the time of Wuthering Heights and she'd
done see what sexy man this is what an awesome chick that was.
And I was like a penis in a bad fitting suit interviewing her
amazon.com
and she is now back out on tour. So I was interested in reading
it but she says please, when you come to my show, do not use your
smartphone. And if you look at we've had the big summer
festivals and concerts and you look at the audience the
audience is witnessing the actual live show through their
screen of their phone.
Right did a lot of people have noticed this? I mean, I think
most people have noticed this that they're in fact it was a
Louis c ks current act I have not seen found on Showtime
discusses that that you go to a recital of your daughter dancing
on the stage and you look around you and everybody's watching the
recital on the smartphone as they take a movie of it that
nobody will ever play like there's even waters right there
and high definition. Why don't you're watching her?
Like, like everyone's Steven Spielberg Ahlers and George
Lucas. Yeah, what is it? This is an illness now now that part is
is is across the board male and female. But this the selfie, I
walked down the street and I walked past McDonald's. And a
couple of girls came in late, maybe early high school, I don't
know late teenagers and they come up. And then there's three
or four of them and I hear hold on selfie. And I see people
walking down hold on selfie. It's a sickness and it's girls,
it is a sickness. But I'm concerned. And so for all of the
flack that we're taking, when we come across as misogynist, which
we're not we had we work with women we well not anymore, you
know, we had to fire them while we were we've worked with many
women we have we have we have promoted women we have you and I
and specifically for no monetary gain have helped women along in
their career careers. But we do the same for dudes. No.
John, come on.
You're right. Probably not. Yeah, it'd be we I really enjoy
I work best with women. In anything I do. This isn't this
is such a this is such an exception that I can I can I
don't get along with you actually, we just do a show we
do a funny show. For some reason. It works out great
comedy show. I work with women. And so when I see this, it hurts
me and I identify what is happening and it is mostly with
female human beings. And I don't know exactly why it's them. This
is something that I would like to find out. Why is it mainly
women
with a self image issue that women have? Because they're
forced into this? Yes. Okay.
Good point. Yeah, no, stop. You got it. You got it. It's just,
I'm looking around the place here. And I'm looking at the
magazines, Harper's Bazaar, the beautiful magazines. But wow, is
it unrealistic? How these women look? Yeah, there's your
illness. There it is. And this is building up by society
and by the men by the men. And you send pics, send photos, send
photos, you're the one that's doing this all time. That was
it. It was the producer that sent a note and complaining
about me trying to be a cheap version of Howard Stern. What's
her name?
Bob, do you want me to out her? No, I
just want to know okay, I didn't say her and I think Antonia
Antonia Antonia. Yeah, yeah, she shouldn't be writing. You know,
it's why she's complaining about me. I don't even know what I did
wrong. Because the problem with because you don't know what they
did wrong.
Yeah. There you go. We don't
even know what you're wrong, honey. Yeah, you don't know.
Okay.
Oh, yes, John. This is our problem. We don't know what's
what we did wrong or what is wrong? We are stupid. Now
we managed to get off to Michael Sam's thing, which I think is a
positive segue because that's a dead end discussion. Well,
that's going on in the National Football League is a corrupt
operation. The guys are getting injured with head to head
injuries. And now we're starting to see movies and positive
public relations as a number of stories coming out about how
great football is for the for the young male it makes them
feel like he's part of England and otherwise be on the street
street robbing old people is not good. This kind of publicity
trying to get away from the fact that this game because of the
nature of steroids and everything that's part of the
game has created head injuries that are unbelievable. Have to
players not all of them. Of course a lot of them get through
it without a problem but a lot of players are lame brained
after they played if yours in the NFL. Yeah, it's 10 to
college. Same thing.
Boy, I'm sorry, I
brought it up.
Yes, you should be okay. I have two topics then at the top here
and then we'll move into something else one. I have
discovered another Tourette superpower that I have. Now let
me step back and say that the no agenda Tourette's Club is a very
serious deal. We are discovering what our tics are. And my tics
have been pretty
good members are in this club for
and we have Honorary Member Tim Howard from the USS
gotta be More than 40 gueret sufferers that listen to the no
agenda Hello Hello
excuse me. We do not like to be known as a retro sufferers. We'd
like to think of ourselves as Tourette's benefactors. Yes.
Okay. There's
must be more than a few lucky Tourette's owners. Yes.
And in this add me as an owner of Tourette's, I have discovered
another superpower. As you know, I can snatch things out of
midair as they're falling off tables. I have an uncanny
ability to remember certain sequences of numbers, not names,
numbers, and I can look at a spreadsheet and find or edit
vast, vast pieces of information like a neural network, I can
hone in on something that is different, odd or interesting.
From any perspective, I just have this ability. It's what I
do with legislation. I can do it with financial spreadsheets, but
now add to this list. Okay.
I can do remote viewing. Oh, brother. Yep.
Now, I want you to know that I specifically say remote viewing,
as opposed to what remote viewing Wait a minute,
here comes Let me explain. Mickey called me yesterday I was
I was out and she says, Okay, how do I get the TV and the
cable box to work? And we're staying we're staying in a place
that has a system that we're not familiar with. And and I had
little background music.
It's really not working for me right now. Okay, keep going
because it means you're not listening.
I'm listening to I got to I'm changing the tones. Your remote
viewing? You got out gone. No, no, she's no, she's saying she's
saying, Oh, this cable box. I can't figure it out. I can't
figure out how to push the buttons. And then you visualized
it somehow saw her finger headed to the wrong button. He's just
stop, stop, stop.
So here's my I'm able to when it's specifically about remote
controls. I can do this in a toll and I knew that there were
three remotes on the on the couch. I was seeing the remotes
before me so I can't view a street seeing but I can view
remotes.
You just saw him a few minutes earlier. But I
had no I haven't touched this remote it like once two weeks
ago. I haven't had the TV on and I was able to help her get it
going in a matter of minutes. I'm telling you this is one of
my superpowers. All right, well
didn't tell me what I did with a with a printout I just made.
No, it's not a remote control. I'm only good at remotes that
I'm not good at I can't actually sift
Remo I get it remote viewing. Yeah, like it's fun. No, it's
true.
It's fact. Yeah, I can do this. And it's like Wonderful.
Okay, fantastic. If anybody has a problem out there that you
lost one of your remotes, you know, fell behind the couch is
calling John and
he'll play the harmonica while you look for it. That's what you
need to do people. Okay. All right. That's all that's all
right. Yeah, it was an observation
of putting it on the list and putting it on just an
observation. And here is the beat. Here's the BBC. I've been
watching a lot of BBC a lot of a betrayal of the television and
Netherlands. Ms. McCain. I agree universally. It looks like
you're watching East Bloc
shit.
It's horrible. European. Yeah. But you know, like in the 80s.
Were like if you would ever see it. It's
about the production's made in Holland.
Yeah, just the in general the tell of the news,
sleazy, sleazy, low end crow crap. Look,
it's not even it's not it's it's high def and it's got all the
all the bells and whistles, but for some reason, the it's just
not slick. It's stiff. It's
awkward.
You see, I don't want to change the topic, but it says you
changed it. Did you see the NATO press conference? Yes.
Well, this is a lot of what I've been watching. Yes. Let me get
into the BBCs view of the world for a moment. This will kind of
explain how the citizenry of the EU's are being tortured by their
government and associated media partners.
It's been a summer of blood as bad as anything in recent times.
It was the worst of times. It was the best of times
in a summer. Summer of blood. This is the German of blood to
BBC.
This is the summer of blood as a good title for show.
It's been a summer of blood as bad as anything in recent times.
Parts of Gaza City now look like Berlin in 1945. plotted against
us and gold journalists have been murdered gruesomely on
camera simply for being American. The innocent Iraqis
have been targeted for not being Muslims. New and ultra violent
groups have blazed their way across the region played. Quiet
towns have been destroyed, and the inhabitants were murdered or
enslaved. A commercial airliner was blasted out of the sky by a
rogue Messiah last. Everybody on board was killed dead. Over the
summer, it really has looked as though a new world disorder is
establishing itself.
And the report goes on for 10 minutes after that. A new world
disorder I say the summer of blood coming to a theater near
you.
So I'm watching this NATO press conference. I want to ask one
quick question of you what is oh tan? NATO spelled backwards?
I've wondered that too. Is that because when you take a selfie I
reverse it or if you take a selfie in the mirror, so tan?
I know it's like for little kids. That's what they would
call I mean, yes. Oh, tan i
i believe that it is, you know, I really don't know.
So I'm watching this thing and it was a very well, especially
on here I don't know what what feeds they gave you but it was
extremely well produced the script. The the press conference
was incredibly scripted. And it was well lit. Yeah, it was lit
like it was with lit like a law and order or like a NCIS.
Actually better was more. No, I think it was like cis. It was
like a cis show where they go into the, you know, the offices
and everything is, is God spotlights and I like
so Oh, 10 By the way, John, the French. That's the French way
they organised as shown. transvestite. Well, something
like that. Yeah. Okay. But it's also it's it's an it's a
neurological trick, I believe.
I believe so too. When I saw it. I said that it's just like your
head Cox. And you're kind of blue. You shake a little bit?
Yeah, I think something. Yeah. Okay. So I'm watching this is
very well produced. And the lighting on the press conference
was like, do it this was like,
well, they're even calling out the right press people at the
right time. And the key light was on him. I saw that too. I
saw that. They call out
somebody. The camera was already positioned right on them. They
had a microphone in their hands. They were lit beautifully. I've
never seen anything so spectacular. Today. I
forgot to evaluate worthy journalists wearing makeup.
I couldn't tell. I thought about the women were but I didn't
notice. Oh, yeah, yeah. Now, which would be that would not
surprise me. Now the other thing that I thought was peculiar, was
that when they had when they pulled back from the holeshot
and you had to darkened room and the lid podium, there was a
there was a like a fence between the reporters and the stage.
Yeah, it was like a roadhouse like a Texas Roadhouse. So you
don't like throw beer at the performers?
No, you know what it was? It was the same kind of fencing they
use at TSA. Oh, those little things you pull and they lock
together? Oh, yeah. They had a whole they had a whole TSA like
a whole line between the press conference people and the stage
why are they going to charge it they this thing wouldn't stop
anyone from doing anything by the way because you know,
stay in your place slave don't move anywhere just did wait till
you're called upon slave. Something like that. Perhaps
I would have to assume that sort of reason because I can't think
of anything else. But I just found the whole thing to be so
staged. And so they had so I have one clip, which is the New
York Times reporter was called on beautiful blue background and
deep blue and you can see a camera guy fooling around back
there in kind of that why style where it's fuzzy it's like a lot
of Bo K you know, all the all the right things you'd want. It
was always perfect. I noticed that I noticed that. It's
perfect. Yeah, I'm
just going oh, man, these guys are this somebody's doing their
job. So let's take a listen to
maybe the same question that I clipped actually and answer. It
was probably the same one scripted question for Obama. Is
that the one? Yeah, let's play it. Let's see what Julie Davis
now I have to mention something and you must have noticed this
too, with all the slick lighting, the beautiful staging
and everything. They've got a line buzz
as a ground loop somewhere and I think
sound loop on Obama, it's yeah, that's because
of the electronics in his head who knows what's going on.
By the way. I think the real problem they were having is they
had Obama over mic And, and when you listen to this scripted
question, you can hear Obama going, huh? Yeah. But he
but he's no, he's, he's, I have to disagree. He's miked
wirelessly. And there were also two desktop mics so he could
read the prompter. So we can go from left to right. But I think
I remember a love. And regardless, it's a ground loop
is a ground loop. There's just no reason for this. Other than
that, there's an incompatibility that it is also our lectern.
It's possible that we bring our lectern in, that he that he
speaks from and our audio, but if I were the President, I'd
have my own audio guys, believe me everything. I'm not gonna
delete
stocks then. Yeah,
so maybe, who knows?
But you can still hear Obama who? My enemies Mambo? Yeah, it
was weird. Anyway, playing here, the ground loop.
Was not weird.
Thank you, Mr. President.
I want to follow up on what you were saying about ISIL. And ask
if you think that the objective here is to destroy and degrade
them? Are those the same thing in your mind? Is the goal to to
ultimately, the Secretary Kerry said that there's no containing
them? So is the goal to ultimately annihilate them? And
also, you talked about the importance of expertise on the
ground and building capacity on the ground? Do you think since
airstrikes are not going to do it here? If
I have a different question, by the way, which is good,
ultimately, action is needed in Syria? can you realistically
expect the Free Syrian Army to do what's needed on the ground
to really destroy not just push back ISIL?
You can't contain an organization that is running
roughshod through that much territory,
roughshod over definition.
Like Berserk etymology,
etymology of roughshod,
I think it goes back to some cowboy term.
Yeah, yeah. So there are a bunch of cowboys chicks actually
running roughshod. Do you mind if I do you mind if we just take
a moment?
Rough shot?
Shot? No, it's rough shot.
No, it's rough shod,
rough shod?
Yeah, with a D. Really? Yes.
I'm glad I took a moment roughshod is one word. Having
shoes with nails heads pretty well hold on a second roughshod
says interesting.
is an adjective of a horse having shoes with nailheads
projecting to prevent slipping. Rough shot I think he says rough
shot.
No, he doesn't say he can't that's nobody would use that.
I thought it was rough shot. I've always thought it was rough
shot with a team. It's always been rough, rough shot, like you
know, like, like roughshod. Rough shot without thinking or
caring about the opinions, rights or feelings of others,
marked by tyrannical force is another definition. I John, I'm
telling you. I always thought it was roughshod to words second
word and dignity. I'm sorry. I'm dumb. I'm
apologizing.
I'm apologize. And this is this is an outrage. I think he says
outrageous. I think he's saying rough shot with a tee can you
realistically
expect the Free Syrian Army to do what's needed on the ground
to really destroy not just push back? ISIL.
You can't contain an organization that is running
roughshod through that much
it right he says, okay, learn some territory,
causing that much havoc displacing that many people
killing that many innocent, enslaving.
What are you enslaving?
That many women? The goal has to be to dismantle them.
And why did they only enslave women? Are they are they better?
Are they stronger than the men mean? This is not a good version
of slavery
know that this is a this is innuendo. Obviously, because
because our civilization at this point in slaving women generally
refers to sex slaves.
Yes. Whereas the good slaves that we had were men who were
strong and could build things and drag things and could take a
beatin.
Yeah, right and keep on eating. No, but this is it
is all in your innuendo. And it is fantastic to be able to
document this and I think we're probably the only people in the
in the universe, even listening to what is being said.
I think I
might be true. That might be true.
I might actually be true. That's the reason we have people that
listen to our show because I think the public is hungry to
hear at least an honest discussion. Should have what's
going on or around them that just dead points these things
out.
And if you look at what happened with al Qaeda in the FATA, where
their primary base was, you initially push them back. You
systematically
capstar I know I didn't even want to stop it, but I know
exactly what you're gonna say. When we push them back.
No, no, that's not what I was gonna say. Dodgeball. No play
this back. He says that the al Qaeda was primarily in El Fatah.
Which hell's he talking about his
al Fatah?
Well, you can look it up. It's it's a political party.
What about what about al Qaeda in the Fatah? He says Fatah. He
said into Fatah Intifada? The father?
No, he said fighter FA T h ref at age. Right. That's the party.
That's the fight to party. Let's listen to.
If you look at what happened with al Qaeda in the FATA, where
their primary base was that
that was their base there. How was their base
in a political party in the Palestine in the Palestinian
political party? How was their base in the Fatah? I'm asking
you,
would you excuse me? Am I his speech writer? I'm googling I'm
trying to figure it out. I'm You're making me nervous.
I'm listening to this. And he says that I go
this is myself. Um, so Johnny, this is a this
is without a doubt.
I mean, like, seriously, just just this is
d mean this.
I don't know what he meant. But nobody said anything. They
didn't say it in the media. They didn't say that this press
conference. He just says this. And everyone goes yeah, all
right, boss of
the Fanta if people don't know the Fatah is the formerly the
Palestinian national liberation movement. So he is now saying
that that the al Qaeda grew out of
it was their political, their primary political base, play
that whole thing again, and carefully listen to what he says
they and he said, that's how we got them or something. I don't
even know what yeah, it's just nonsense. It seems like just
babbling and
I'll play back even more. This is this is very, very
interesting
to be to dismantle.
I think I should go back more sorry, this is just too good.
It's
killing that many innocents, enslaving that many women. The
goal has to be to dismantle them. And if you look at what
happened with al Qaeda in the FATA, where their primary base
was, you initially push them back you systematically degrade
their capabilities you narrow their scope of action. You
slowly shrink the space the territory that they may control.
You take out their leadership
Do you think maybe he meant Volusia?
Well, he didn't say obviously said Fatah. Yes with a hard t
and I don't think falooda was there bass was it
for Lucia was a big see if it's let's see if the book of
knowledge says if if the book of knowledge considers for Lucia to
be the original city of course this isn't
here Rossi yet that much
variety of sorts of report the city was controlled by al Qaeda
al Qaeda and or its affiliate ISIS, which I'm sure that's a
new reference. If you can't trust you can't trust this
Wikipedia crap people add into it every day. This is changing
before our very eyes this thing. You know, I have no idea. I have
no idea. Okay. Well, here's
the problem with that. It's an Iraqi city.
Yes, do
we know for a fact that had nothing to do with Iraq ever?
Right? Until we made it have something to do with and we said
it had something to do with it. But that was all nonsense. It
was just to get the public on board with attacking the place.
So that can't be it? No, I don't know what he's talking about.
And I and I'm stunned that nobody picked this up.
Well, it's a scripted news conference, these women all the
doing the women who are asking these questions, they're just
concerned about their key light. If they don't stumble over the
question, the three questions that
woman from the New York Times, that's all she did was stump.
I got the woman from the AP, who was the first one who called
Yeah,
When I have as the woman for The Wall Street Journal, but I
actually don't remember the AP woman. So play that clip. Do
you notice that it's all women who were asking the questions
here?
Well, they probably were the ones that went to the briefing
with respect
to
the ceasefire agreement. Obviously, we are this is about,
she asked about the ceasefire agreement between Russia and
Ukraine, which you put in the newsletter, and this is why I'm
leading into it. And the President answered this question
about the ceasefire and how we felt about it, and how long it
would last,
with respect to the ceasefire agreement. Obviously, we are
hopeful, but based on past experience, also skeptical that,
in fact, the separatists will follow through and the Russians
will stop violating Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial
integrity. So it has to be tested. And I know that the
Europeans are discussing, at this point, the final shape of
their sanctions measures. It's my view that if you look at
President Poroshenko, 's plan, it is going to take some time to
implement. And as a consequence, for us to move forward based on
what is currently happening on the ground with sanctions while
acknowledging that if in fact, the elements of the plan that
has been side are implemented, then those sanctions could be
lifted, is a more likely wait for us to ensure that there's
follow through now here comes but that's something that,
obviously will consult closely with our European partners. So
he's stumbled through that, but I thought it was very
interesting what he was trying to say, you know, we'll maybe
we'll figure out in this something happens that maybe
they can turn him back, but we don't I don't really know what
I'm saying is what he was he did you hear him stumble through
that
he stumbled? Well, he stumbled through all the answers in this
because he was didn't. I don't know why I think they once in a
while he thinks he can actually ad lib these things. Well, here
we look a little suspicious to be reading the answers from a
press conference off a prompter. Well, here we
go. Well, here's the script. Here's the scripted part, which
is just so incredibly untrue.
Well, before you go there, I want to mention something he
says the C star we must it has to be tested. What does that
mean?
That means you got to fire and see if anyone fires back.
And that's what I'm thinking
to determine. I do want to point out, though,
let me be clear, I want to point it out. Pay attention to me,
here comes a lie,
that the only reason that we're seeing the only reason this
ceasefire at this moment, is because of both the sanctions
that have already been applied, and the threat of further
sanctions, which are having a real impact on the Russian
economy.
Okay, so he is saying the only reason there's a ceasefire is
because of the sanctions that apparently the United States
sanctions have been levied upon the Russia, and they're so
desperate, so desperate at this point to to negotiate their way
out. They've called for a ceasefire, because it's it's
killing Russia
and have isolated Russia in a way that we have not seen in a
very long time. Oh, yes. The path for Russia to rejoin the
community of nations respects international law. Still there.
The chat room suggesting he said Intifada? It didn't sound like
it to me.
Well, even if they said into fight, it doesn't make any
sense. No, it's not a country. It's not an area. It's not
something where you could, you know, start to pick them off
into fight
as a movement. It's very low
entry called Intifada, what is a chat room talking about
ditches and they're just really trying to be helpful.
Okay, I'm sorry,
I'll stop just irks me. They
listen to him say something so stupid. And they're
no one to say anything? Well, of course, and
then no one Oh, okay. Whatever. Oh, yeah, that makes sense. All
right. So that's what we did with al Qaeda. Okay, we can do
that again. Uh huh. So this is this NATO business, which
absolutely what are their side? I'm sorry, you get the same
sense of poro chenko is like constantly we ever see this guy
this the head of the new president. El presidente de of
the Ukraine is just she just seems like a nervous Nellie like
he's expected to be assassinated any second. Oh, yeah. You've
noticed this when you see this guy, you know, he is like,
visibly shaken.
If he walked down this he may have Parkinson's. No, if you
walk down the street, I would not have bumped into him. I
would not notice. I know. Yes, yes. In New York. I said, Hey,
aren't you the guy who played for Spargo in the 70s? Okay, so
I want to stick for a moment with the EU and with NATO. And
then we I think we should circle back around to ISIS. There's
definitely some stuff that before
we circle back around, I do have a couple of clips from our buddy
Professor Cohen. Yes. exactly about this topic.
Okay. About the about ISIS or about Ukraine,
the about the NATO, Ukraine about the distant about to bring
it on.
I want let's get it all lit. And after we'll take a break after
EU and Russia.
Well, let's try one of the ones I have here. My printout, I
screwed up, I lost the printer says, let's go on the you, Cohen
on. Let's start with this one this do these two Cohen on the
Ukraine civil war on the budget. Yeah, it says on Ukraine,
eastern Ukraine. It's been the pro Russian separatists who are
encouraged by Russia, financed by Russia, trained by Russia,
supplied by Russia and armed by Russia. And the Russian forces
that have now moved into Ukraine or not on a humanitarian or
peacekeeping mission, there are Russian combat forces with
Russian weapons in Russian tanks.
The professor sounds a lot like Obama these days,
Dead was the lead in. That's President Obama.
For sure. President Obama and here's the underlying problem.
What Obama just said implies is not a surge, that if it wasn't
for Russia, Ukraine would be stable, that Russia's
destabilize Ukraine. No serious person would believe that to be
the case. Ukraine is in the throes of a civil war, which was
precipitated by the political crisis that occurred in Ukraine
last November. And then this February, when the elected
President of Ukraine was overthrown by a street mob. And
that set off a civil war, primarily between the West
including Kyiv and East, but not only there's a central Ukraine
that's here in the Civil War, and then became as I said it
would or might when we first started talking earlier this
year, a proxy war between the United States and Russia. Now,
it's absolutely true that Russia has made the destabilization of
Ukraine worse, is also absolutely true that the United
States has contributed to the destabilization of Ukraine. But
if tomorrow, the United States would go away, and Russia would
go away, Ukraine would still be in the Civil War. And we know
what civil wars are, we had won in our country, the Russia had
one we were many civil wars around the world in the 20th
century and elsewhere. Today, the point is the only way you
can send the Civil War, either one side completely conquerors,
and the other side gives up, as happened with the Confederacy
and the United States. Or, you know, there's a stalemate or
somebody says enough killing, because these are brothers and
sisters and mothers and fathers are part of the same family and
you negotiate. So we will see later today, perhaps or
tomorrow, whether this ceasefire comes and if it holds no
negotiating a civil war. It's terribly complex. Okay,
I think that's accurate. Of course, it's a civil war. And
then he has this nice little commentary on democracy in the
in Ukraine, based on Obama's commentaries, okay.
And in this case, the government in Kyiv is trying to conquer
where the rebels so to speak, are located. The problem is that
the rebel provinces do not recognize the legitimacy of the
government in Kyiv, the United States recognizes the legitimacy
but that doesn't make it legitimate. Now, let's get into
what's going on in Kyiv. Obama also said, I kind of chuckled
and cried, that we're helping Ukraine build a democracy. What
kind of democracy is unfolding in Kenya, right? They had a
presidential election, about a fifth of the country couldn't
vote. Now put a Shingo has called a parliamentary election
in October a month from now. But the where the war is in the
south in the east, they won't vote. So you're going to end up
with a Rough Country further dividing the country. Meanwhile,
they're shutting down democracy and key communist parties being
banned. Another party that represents the East is being
banned. People were being arrested, and their censorship
kicking in there's no democracy in Kenya because it's a wartime
government use don't get democracy. So these assertions
by the United States that were democracy builders were virtuous
and it all Putin's fault this is it's worse than a half truth.
It's actually a false
why why do they allow this man to speak like this on mainstream
television? Why there's got to be
you know, this is a question that I wonder myself and in
fact, I think that he's they figured they fear he has a
message that is we've heard him before it's the scent
essentially says the same thing. He is. He's also very highly
criticized. I think they they believe it is a part Have their
war and peace report I think it's part of their their belief
that democracy now folks believe that they're the peace, you
know, representatives of peace peace in the world and this guy
promotes peace. Now there was a late another clip that we'll
play after the break, which has nothing to do with it does have
something to do with Ukraine. It talks about the Malaysian
Airline thing. And this was off script. Okay, so before when
this went off script, it made me very nervous.
Alright, so don't stop stop with the setup. Stop with the setup.
I want to do that after we take a break. I do want to play a
little bit of humor. computer coding totally hijacked my flow.
Yes. With a go to I was loaded a bit abruptly where we
didn't like the miking on us very
bad. This is the Matt Emery show. Come on. We need a jingle
the Matt and Marie show Marie Harf spokes haul for the United
States. And Matt Diplo AP at bat Diplo AP AR Matt. Matt. Matt,
what's it last night Matt, the AP writer who always is fun. And
he questioned the rapid defense force of NATO. Jas, which as you
know, is one of the big things that they put together a rapid
de force fence in there connecting all their wires and
and jujitsu and jog Blitz and googlies in widgets. And this,
of course, is going to cost billions of dollars and
everybody has the people. Yeah, everybody has to ante up their
their 2% of GDP, which is you. People are talking about this
here in the Netherlands. Netherlands has about 1% GDP.
For the war financing, whether it's NATO or whether they do it
internally is irrelevant. I think it's not like they write a
big check. Yeah, they write a check to Raytheon, or Boeing or
Airbus. Maybe we're probably more likely Boeing. navels yes,
we need to go to 2%. bankrupting the country, more on stupid war
stuff to kill brown people in the sand. But anyway, so he
says, What is the isn't that kind of aggressive? You know,
how can you say that this isn't an aggressive move, to be
talking about getting together, and we're yo boo you stomp on
us, we'll kill you with five PVOH Article Five. So Matt is
very asked Marines as a business a little aggressive.
Everything that we have done with NATO, since Russia's
intervention into Ukraine has been in a defensive measure to
be able to protect NATO and our members, and also working
together to help countries like Ukraine, there is nothing
confrontational about it. It is not designed to confront anyone.
That's not how it's being used. That's not how it's designed. I
in no way I just don't understand logically how you can
look at what something NATO is doing to protect our countries
and compare it in any way. Russia is sending, you know,
wait for it surface to air missile systems across the
border into Ukraine, which are, by definition, an offensive
weapon. Those are just categorically different things
met and you're buying into the Russian propaganda, if you
equate them,
by the way, for anyone to say that to any journalist is, it's
very insulting.
Oh, it's totally insulting. And it really would make a guy like
him mad.
Well, he is like me, and he laughs at her, which is just
categorically
different things that and you're buying into the Russian
propaganda and you equate them? No, no, quite frankly. Well, no,
I really, I think
the question does well, but you say our country's NATO. Yeah.
And Ukraine is not a NATO member. So the point of my
question is, why is it that you can't see or why do you reject
out of hand, the Russian complaint that this this is the
creation of
tension? There's nothing offensive about it rapid
reaction force, it's a defensive it's a defensive tool, how can
that be threatening to Russia? To Russia, not
necessarily threatening to Russia, but a provocative that's
why because any anyone's propaganda I think, one of your
questions on this on these exercises has been a little bit
I think there's absolutely no equivalence between countries
taking steps to protect themselves their partners in
their territory against someone who is sending arms and troops
and men over the border into a another country. They're wholly
different things. No, no one's gonna sit by and not stand up
for our principles and say, go ahead, Russia, we're not going
to take any steps to protect ourselves, you guys
you guys object to other countries objections about your
military exercises all the time. And you think that they're
perfectly legitimate.
I love those two, they should I hope they're screwing that that
would only complete the vision I have of how everything Yeah,
you'd
have this some sort of a vision like that. I can't see it in a
million years personally. And by the way, when she when you first
turn her voice on to the stream, it is actually jarring she has
the she has this when you first hear you get used to it Yeah.
Though when you first hear her voice it is so squeaky and high
pitched and, and and just sounds bad is a bad she's a bad sound.
Let's
listen to go and this one time at bandcamp I stuck a flute. I
think you're right. That's exactly right. It's very well
with that, John, I'd like to say thank you very much for courage
and in the morning to you John C. Dvorak.

small type fonts. Yeah, yeah. You're you have to see it. Yeah,
yeah. Now your image will be shrunken down. That's
specifically for album art in players. It's usually not that

Hollywood, except we will vouch for your credits, unlike the
douchebags in Hollywood, and all you have to do is let us know
put on your LinkedIn, your IMDB, anywhere credits are valid. And
please help us out for Thursday show to vorak.org/n a. And of
course, we always need the ultimate help which is going out
there and figuratively hitting people in the mouth. Our formula
is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth
before you get us into we talked about I did want to puke things
of note some homework for you to look at in the show notes. Which
work 65650 Oops, 650 dot N A shownotes.com are actually that
before, if you go to archive.no agenda notes.com. You can get
everything from there. NATO declares cyber attacks to
trigger military responses. So there's your rapid response
force. If there's a cyber attack, then we of course we
will we will go in and do whatever we need to do a lot of
talk here in the EU about Putin's nuclear option, which I
believe to be total terrorism of the people.
And no agenda with the archive.no agenda. No,
no agenda notes.com.
No agenda. Oh, I came so I put show in there. Sorry. Yeah,
yeah, I don't have condemned. I'm working on it, working on
it. Working on it.
Okay, so they're terrorizing the public with frightening
scenarios. Yes. And then
Robert Kagan, in the Wall Street Journal. Now we know who Robert
Kagan is.
This isn't Yes.
Robert Kagan is the hit is running this. You this the
Ukrainian situation? Well,
it's not just him. And Ben, it's it's the whole clan? Yes. But
it's Nudelman. Nuland is are now her name. And of course,
Frederick Kagan and these are these are they're running at
least they're running the a lot of this Ukraine stuff. And he
has written an op ed in the Wall Street Journal. America's
dangerous aversion to conflict. And I implore everyone to read
this. How this scholar I think that's what's his credit here. I
think they they say that he's gonna check the bottom of the
piece here. He gets kind of credit about what is
what is with these people. This is John McCain Lindsey Graham.
These war mongers Mr.
Kagan is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and the
author of books including of paradise and power and most
recently, the World America made. And this entire article is
explaining how we must fight that if we do not fight, then
everything you know you get the world disorder.
And
I don't see that our fighting has done anything but make the
world worse. The US rep lies these places is made a mess
while he well he, I think he wants more. Well, here's the
subtext, the US increasingly yearns to escape the harsh
realities of war. But as recent events made clear, raw force
remains a key element in international politics. This guy
is it's just he is a terrorist. He wants us to go and kill
people,
for no apparent reason. Well, no, because we disagree is what
they're up to. What's the point? I mean, why are we Why does he
want us to kill people?
Well, I'll tell you, why
are we being attacked or anything, we're being attacked
by a hordes of illegal aliens in the southern border, they're
just coming in. And you know, that sounds like a right wing
nut. But, you know, they're coming in and
using the harmonica and I shall read from the the stylings of
Robert Kagan. But Americans, their presidents and their
elected representatives have accepted this gap between
strategy and capability with little comment. Except by those
who would abandon the strategy. It is as if once again,
Americans believe that disillusionment with one of
force somehow means that force is no longer a factor in
international affairs. In the 1930s, the illusion was
dispelled by Germany and Japan, whose leaders and publics very
much believed in the utility of military power. Today, as the US
seems to seek its escape from power. Others are stepping
forward as if on cue to demonstrate just how effective
raw power can really be. Once again, they are people who never
accepted the liberal world's definition of progress and
modernity, who don't share its hierarchy of values. They are
not driven primarily by economic considerations they have never
put their faith in the power of soft power never believed that
world opinion no matter how outrage could prevent
successfully successful conquest by determined military, they are
undeterred by their McDonald's. They still believe in the old
fashioned verities of hard power at home and abroad. And if they
are not met by a sufficient hard power response, they will prove
that yes, there is such a thing as a military solution.
What? Oh, yeah. Ready. This is the craziest thing.
This lesson won't be lost on others who wield increasing
power in other parts of the world and who, like Vladimir
Putin's autocratic, Russia, and Abu Bakr al Baghdadi is
fanatical Islamic State have grievances of their own. In the
1930s when things began to go bad, they went very bad very
quickly. Japan's invasion of Manchuria in 1931 exposed the
hollow shell that was the League of Nations, a lesson acted upon
by Hitler and Mussolini in the four years that followed. Then
Germany's military successes in Europe emboldened Japan to make
its moved in East Asia on the not unreasonable assumption that
Britain and the US would be too distracted and overstretched to
respond. The successive assaults of the liberal aggressors, ie
liberal aggressors, and the successive failures of the
liberal powers thus lead to a cascade of disasters.
Let us suppose you could look back on history and rewrite it
any way you want. Let us
hope that He's a historian. By the way, let us hope that those
who urge calm are right, but it is hard to avoid the impression
that we have already had our 1931. As we head deeper into our
version of the 1930s, we may be quite shocked, just as our
forebears were at how quickly things fall. I love reading you
a nice accent. So this is the Wall Street Journal. This is
what the elites the globalist This is how they think. And this
is and they're way above anybody's head. This is him to
basically fapping off in front of his buddies. Look what I
wrote.
Perfect. Well, interesting.
Do you want to talk about the MH 17 black box and the true
reasons perhaps behind the temporary ceasefire?
Yeah, there was so I'm watching this thing with CO Han Cohen,
the professor Stephen Cohen. And he, they asked him so he just
didn't pay. He's talking about the Ukraine Ukrainian situation.
And then he just drops a little gem in there and she asks him
about it.
AMY GOODMAN Amy Goodman Warren people
that's only show he really shows up a lot on Yeah. And she asked
him, What What are you talking about? And then he goes into
this little thing about the black boxes. And then she kind
of stumbles out of the show. And she's just as she's black. Gotta
go, bye.
Oh, I'm one of those. Get him off the air off the air off the
off the air.
I don't know that you are as an IFBB. Fight. He can't tell it
that hair or hers?
Oh, no, no, no, let's not be misogynistic.
I'm just, you know, she
has to she has a self image problem as a woman completely
irked and urged on by the fashion industry, which is
making her feel bad about herself,
or to believe that she's affected by any of that at all,
or should wash your hair once in a while now to watch nothing.
Bring Ukraine into NATO. And all this stuff will be up and ready.
And then it'll just take the shoot down of a Malaysian
aircraft and with a bow which everybody's forgotten. Nobody.
Still nobody knows who did it. There seems to have been an
agreement among the major powers not to tell us who did it was
suggested wasn't the rebels wasn't Russia after all. But it
would take something like that, which can happen in these
circumstances. To watch something be in agreement
between the major conference it took her for
ever to to hear that. Well, that's because she's wearing the
eye of B. And so it was
it took her forever to come up with this little, he says and
then he goes on and on and on and on and on. And they said
well, wait a minute. Let me back back it up again. I won't
interrupt again.
Okay.
Go back about 20 seconds almost
thing to do within an agreement among the major powers not to
tell us who did it was suggested wasn't the rebels wasn't Russia
after all. But it would take something like that, which can
happen in these circumstances. Amy wants me
to be in agreement between the major.
She was thinking about booking her vacation. I've had this
happen where I've been interviewing people and I just
My mind is like, what? If you never had that you're
interviewing somebody. And you see you see the mouth moves. You
hear the words, but you're thinking, God, I want a pizza.
This has happened to me. It happens to everybody. So in this
case, well, I want to hear the rest of his of his analysis.
He's got this we've got to work on on the audio on this. This is
really crappy. His his somehow his his range?
No, they have him. Something's wrong with them. It's them. I
can do I understand. I could fix a little bit of it. But I'm not.
You can. He's talking too low. He's got his mic. Funny. He's
got it's just horrible.
Country. In addition to the insurance company for the
airplane, which Titanic has a legal responsibility, the major
companies and countries that are doing it, and Britain has the
black boxes. The Netherlands are involved. There was a report the
other day that these parties these states agreed that they
will not divulge individually. What they have discovered. Now
they've had plenty of time to interpret the black boxes. There
are there are there are reports from Germany, that the White
House version of what happened is not true. Therefore, you have
to look elsewhere for the culprit. Who did the shooting
down. They're sitting on satellite intercepts they
haven't the MHS they won't release the air controllers
conversations in key with the doomed aircraft. Why not? In the
pilot say let me speculate. Oh my god, we're being fired on by
a jet fighter next to us what's going on? Because we know there
were two Ukrainian jet fighter. We don't know what somebody
knows. You might ask him I get somebody on has been
investigating this to find out what they actually know.
Well, we want to thank you very much. Let's go to commercial.
That was
good out. Yeah. Now this is the same here. And while that was
playing, I did another scan. The most recent article I can find
about the black box in the Dutch media is from 3048 hours ago.
That's the most recent one couple of couple of reports of
which it would be the more mainstream and then Elsevier
four days ago this is very typical for the Netherlands of
the Dutch that they are they give up now the Dutch are so
gullible. Let me give you an example. The first I'll tell you
what's happened with this with the black box the flight data
recorder and the cockpit voice recorder. The Dutch like well we
have to wait for the official but you know the official news
and
can you use again I mean stop you for A second you have to
stop clearing your throat because every time you do it or
go away from the mic because I'm just waiting for the bullshit
that guy to come on, girl so it makes me jumpy,
okay? I'm sorry.
It's also because I'm sitting down I don't have the standing
desk like I normally do. So this flim just builds up, LEM,
nothing you need to know. So the Dutch are very gullible, then
they want to believe they they'll build their rule
followers. Yes, not a problem. We'll wait for the report. And
mean, in the meantime, France Timmermans, the secretary of
state of the Netherlands who I know I've know this guy, but
he's a total shill, but he knows a shill and I like him for it.
And we talked about him on the previous show. He has now been
nominated, I guess as as Juncker the drunkards, number two man,
which means he'll be doing all the work. So nice. Oh, yeah. Oh,
How perfect is that bring him and then we have the Dutch
authority that is evaluating this, the they evaluate
accidents in general. And this is a very This, to me, is a
complete Corrupt Organization used to be run by the old prince
Peter from follow for he was the board of I forget what it's
called the board of accidents, board of Safety Board, whatever
it's called. So Todd, there's total total distance, whatever
the media says people believe it. And here's an example of how
this works, and how unbelievable it is. Joan Rivers dies. And all
of a sudden, everybody's an expert on Joan Rivers. Now, the
only thing I believe the Dutch know, Joan Rivers from is from
Fashion Police, which airs here they have no idea about her
background they have no it is impossible that people have this
level of love and knowledge for Joan Rivers and her career and
what she really stood for the way many people in the United
States do and understand. But it's everyone goes Oh, Joan,
everyone goes all that just regurgitating whatever the press
says.
It's disturbing. To see it before
your very eyes. So the Dutch will say nothing, which is why
they were chosen for this exercise.
They're perfect.
And nothing comes out of that nothing is no is no one no
outrage, no protest, the victim's families have had
private meetings with the with the Prime Minister and on
average when a secret meeting about everything and the press
is not allowed.
Well, why don't you give us the when we first dissected this
shoot down, you had the
only logical explanation for what actually went down. And if
you can just summarize it, I can probably move may not have heard
it. I can try one of them any by the way. I should have mentioned
this in one of the many things that we've dissected over the
years that we have to kind of assume that the listeners are
somewhat aware of it. I don't want to encourage people this in
the old shows. But
yeah, I don't recall exactly which show it was but it
happened. It was right after the accident. There you go
right after the accident. And you had done covered some
paperwork about spoofing.
Well, we have a worldwide intelligence, we have a
worldwide intelligence network. And this is interesting, you
bring this up. The worldwide intelligence network alerted me
to a specific exercise that was done. Between I think it was
June 5, and June 9, I am paraphrasing. And we probably
everyone heard about this, when the European air traffic control
screens just blanked. And planes were just vanishing from the
screen for several minutes. And this was was it next Finn? Was
that what it was called? I'm trying to remember what what the
game remember? Well, it's kind of important. Hold on a second.
I think it was next. The next fin Let me see. Do I think it
was that? Don't want it someone in the chat room? Oh, no. This
man it was a war games, electronic warfare, World War
games that were going on. And there was a German document,
which we had and we had the translation, which explained
that What did you know, this blanking out of planes on the
radar was because of this jamming technology that they
were using new FIP Thank you very much. I knew it knew FIP
knew FIP Here we go. And it was episode 636 If you want to have
it. So you have a exam that you get the document and all the
other parts of the show notes there. And that document which
we still Have you no archive. If you go to The Guardian, June 13,
where they they had an article which we linked to about this
new FIP the here's the headline of the guard the Guardian
website military blamed after planes vanished from Europe air
traffic control screen Slovak authorities claimed electronic
way of warfare exercise caused dozens of planes to briefly
disappear from air traffic control radar. This content has
been removed as our copyright has expired. So the article is
gone. And it was from Reuters in Vienna and Prague. So Reuters
has scrubbed this article about this particular exercise, and
the theory that our global intelligence network came back
with, as you know, many of them in government and military and
intelligence, actual intelligence, the is that the
end was the Ukrainian plane, jet fighter, about four kilometers
behind. And we know the plenty of eyewitnesses, lots of people
know there was a plane there, but it jammed the radar spoofed
it and made it look like something else, which is this
was basically us, which was the painting of the target for the
surface to air missile on the ground. And in 636, we go into a
lot of detail about exactly how that worked. But the one thing
that did not happen, if not some guy, but running around with a
vodka bottle, borders, and just shooting you're shooting planes
out of the sky, which is what you were led to believe it takes
12 people to properly operate the book system. And this is
what we do in the analysis. And this is not being brought up
anywhere. And I see now that this the article about the war,
electronic warfare exercise has been scrubbed from the web.
This is interesting. This is News. This is News. This is new
information now that that article is gone.
Correct. I had this I was alerted to this today. And by
the way,
this is nonsense that the copyright expired or their
license expired. This I'm not buying that.
Well, I'm not either information, man. New shit has
come to light. i Well, we can look around I've been someone
sent me an email and said, hey, it's missing here. And that
doesn't it seems like this won't see military blamed. I'm gonna
just take the headline.
And somebody's got to be like a laggard and get rid of it.
Let's see here. So here's the guardian. Well, how about here's
Reuters. I'll click the Reuters link. And now the Reuters link
seems to be Wait, was this updated?
They don't have the document.
Yeah, yeah. See, the document has gone
a save page as people. Yeah.
Well, we have the document, if you go to 636, we have the
document, we've got all the all, every single webpage that we
have, we have an archive of in OPML format, in which you can
see the in text or render in HTML, we have everything as part
of what the service we deliver.
Well, definitely as a service that they've shown notes are one
of the even though this is the show is what gets everybody to
help us through contributions, donations, producers, ships. But
in fact, the real value, long term value of this show is the
show notes. And I would suggest anyone who's a student to, you
know, comb through these things, or do searches, if you're
working on a topic, I said,
search.na shownotes.com. And this is all based on structured
data, every show notes, for every episode, going back
hundreds of episodes, and on the very beginning, is in structured
XML data, and the format is OPML. So it's an outliner
format, which is very handy for research. And it's being parsed
by search.na shownotes.com. But you can also grab it and index
it and do whatever you want with it. Here is here's the one thing
that is not being brought up, which I feel is significant.
It's my last lecture
this is my last election after this election, I'll have more
flexibility. This was the President Obama's open mic with
Medvedev. And Medvedev said he said, Yeah, I'll pass it on to
Vladimir. And I am just cynical enough to believe that this is
still in cahoots to f the EU.
That I have.
It is very easy for me to assume that Russia in and others are
taking part together to ultimately squeeze the euro and
squeeze it down and it's happening. What are we at 128
today when we came over two weeks ago Well, John wasn't at
133 Yeah. What is it today?
I don't know. 28 Let me take a quick look.
Let me take a look to your over so the what's the exchange rate?
129? I think 129 ABS Do we have a charge? How's it been going?
So it was it was 138 in December. It was one towards the
peak here.
129 61 As we speak, it was
139 in May.
Yeah. Let's adopt buck. 40 Yeah, that's ridiculous. And now
it's 129 that's what does that 8% loss. It's a lot of
a lot of loss. Meanwhile, I'm looking at my one of my pages
here. Sergey Brin just sold some Google stock to the tune of $96
million fine because he needs to get a new some new bathroom
fixtures fine.
So that is my feeling although I have learned that those
resourceful Dutch you know that I was talking about how
vegetables and dairy products and flowers are not be they're
not being sent to Russia? Well, this turns out to be total bull
crap. Here's how it works. But at least with tomatoes, I've
heard this firsthand. You send the tomatoes to Turkey. They get
a turkey sticker. They get sold right on to Russia.
Now when it gets Turkey, the Turks a piece of the action?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, this way, though, Europe is just all
designed to bypass these things. That was the gray market during
the black market during the wars. The Europeans know how to
do this better than anybody. Yeah, it's never Yeah, that
side. We should have thought of that when we heard about it.
Yeah,
but I did you know, that's cheating because you're supposed
to be supposed to be sanctions people sanction sanctions. This
is what caused the ceasefire in the first place is the
sanctions. I want to leave this topic with a little song
dropping off laughing This is what I'll say.
You there was a TV show in Germany, that kind of someone
sent me a clip and like, I have no agenda light humoristic show
and the tube, I guess, actor slash comedians forgot the name
of the skit, or the the outfits about 14 minutes. And they know
they're reading this f the EU from Victoria Nuland. And
they're kind of playing it back the way we're thinking about
many things. And I think they got hassled and the Oh, they got
reprimanded. And I think this, pull something off the air and,
and make no mistake people. Germany is not your friend in
Europe. It's not your friend. Germany is. I mean, the German
people are they're just as ignorant as everybody else. Then
that's coming up. That's why we have Jacob Appelbaum. And
everybody, they're all spies are spying on the Germans, Germans.
Hey, Germans. Please, Rebecca, what's her name? Snowdens
girlfriend? Yeah, yeah. Laura Poitras, and they're and they're
hanging out with you and your Chaos Computer Club, and they're
spying on you. They're all there. Trust me for once.
They're spies. And they're nice. But they're spying they're
reporting back to home base. There were the Russians. Germany
is Russia. Angular speaks Russian. Oh, by the way, France
Timmermans. The Secretary of State he also speaks fluent
Russian. I found out No, and this is the thing everyone's
speaking Russian
Well, you know where their bread is buttered? Yeah.
So Germany has the direct pipeline coming into the north
they got all the oil then all the gas they need. They can
they're they're sitting pretty.
But no. All right.
And then you get the Polish guy as your as your new leader, the
singer Tusq. Who hates Russia? Again? There's big trouble
on the Polish today. They hate the Russians for good reason.
It's so Hey, I heard a an interview with our buddy Yarrow
mon on NPR. Who's your URL again? URL is my old guy at MTV.
Better known as Lee Masters, the top 40. Masters, right, Lee
Masters everybody. And I thought I felt like I would clip a
little bit because this is now you know, the honeymoon is over.
He's been in for six months. And he's asking you everybody for
his opinion. And now apparently NPR has a huge problem. They
have a deficit. They're running at a deficit.
Wait a minute. Yeah. They're making 10s Hundreds of them what
is their budget? 100 200 million. dollars interview,
which is it's about a half hour interview.
There.
There was mentioned of the money that the there's just, there's
somehow they can't make ends meet. They can't make ends meet.
So in this interview, a couple of couple of things come up,
which I thought would be interesting. In a way, this is
what we're competing with. As Yarl. Lee, the has come in and
said, Look, I'm gonna make this place more profitable, but I
have to make it more profitable. So how do you do that? When you
have underwriters and sponsorships and you're not
selling commercials? How would you do that? John? I mean, this
is a daunting task for our buddy at Yarrow. How would you do
that?
I would do it with native advertising. to an extreme, I
would go all in on native advertising, just slip it into
all the news coverage, and you wouldn't have any interruptions
that way interest and then I'd run a bunch of these, I think
Carbonite would probably cover the rest of it. Well, maybe
audio,
let me ask books or let me let's just let's just get something
straight. NPR does not sell advertising, correct? No, that's
not correct. But that is what they would if you went on the
street and said, Does NPR to have advertising people would
say no.
Most people would say no, they'd say, but we know it's not true.
They've said so themselves. Let's listen to that for just a
moment. Just so we can.
Wow,
I haven't played that in so long. I don't even know where it
is. Anyway, NPR
recently recently.
Now that's bad.
It was the former
you know, it's looks like it's former head of NPR says
advertising whatever you want to call it. It looks like
it's gone. Like it's been like it's deleted. They've come in
scrubbed. They've they've scrubbed it from NPR hackers
have gotten I'm telling you anonymous, they're all over the
place. I'll find it later. So Jarold so you're all he's he is
just so brazen. He is just he calls him units. Do you see
these sponsorship opportunities. They're, they're not ads. These
mentions are units. Here's his solution to website
coming from a listener says no, don't increase corporate
underwriting decrease it please I hate the commercials and
foundation promos on NPR, it really muddies and destroys the
brand.
We're not increasing the amount at all, we are simply do a
better job selling it. We have undersold it in terms of the
value that we're getting. The amount of money paid for each
mention, I think is really under optimized. We're not talking
about increasing the amount where they have the
announcements, we're talking about increasing the amount of
the money, same number of units.
Oh, same number of units. Okay, so hey, it's gonna cost you more
with snot gonna work, you see. Because people are gonna be
like, well, then I want to have like my call to action, which is
not allowed.
Yeah, I got plenty of examples where a call to action is in
these commercials, especially on NPR, more so than PBS.
But this is my point is that people are going to now it's
going to become standard. So you can just you can see how it's
going to play out. Now. Here's a Yarl was like a call our calls
in and what is one of the biggest problem with advertisers
or underwriters or whatever you want to call them? The biggest
problem is if you have an advertiser who spends money like
I don't know, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, it may be
difficult for objective reporting to occur. This is
what's possible. This is what corrupts everything. This is why
and ended not difficult. This is actually impossible. It is
impossible. It but people don't believe that thing. When there's
advertising
it people don't believe that the field that NPR is held to a
higher standard, and that they somehow can do it and no matter
who's advertising, they will be objective and will do just as
much negative reporting if necessary that they would for
any other news story
out you have to give them the public relations side of the
business, you have to give them a lot of credit for propagating
what amounts to bullshit. Yes.
I am concerned about corporate underwriting I heard you just
say that you're going to be increasing the amount of money
but not the number of units but some corporations you know, we
don't want them underwriting NPR all that much like
pharmaceutical companies or maybe Monsanto. Can you speak to
that?
First let me play the jingle again. Now listen, that listen
to Yarrow, he hasn't really considered this question.
It's you know, I love that you silly food
corporations, you know, we don't want them underwriting NPR all
that much like pharmaceutical companies or maybe Monsanto. Can
you speak to that? But
it's, you know, I don't really have a well formed point of view
on that it depends if they're advocacy commercials, or if
which we don't take, we don't do anything like that. To be honest
with you, we have no idea what I'm gonna say you haven't even
looked at this has not become an issue internally that I'm
not an issue internally that I'm aware of. Hey,
we want to do this cool thing about Monsanto killing farmers
are committing suicide. Can we do that? Can we run this report?
of anybody wanting to be a corporate underwriter? And and
us having a particular challenge with it?
No, well, that would be true. You have no particular challenge
with it. You don't give a crap. You just don't do anything
negative about them.
Thank you for the call Alex. There is a sense of more fun,
being tied to maybe the kind of programming that's been very
popular car talk, for example.
Sorry. Wow,
talking about changing the subject. I just want to left it
in there. Then. Let's talk about Car Talk. And there's a lot of
or wait, wait, don't tell me
how they talk about that, too, is one, it's just a fabulous
program that Wait, wait, don't tell me. It really is. And it's
an expensive program. I would I will point out, that's a lie.
They got a road budget, they're always on the road. They have to
set up shop in these different cities and large, expensive
facilities. They have to fly these people don't have guests
and everybody out here and then they have to bring in an
audience. It costs money to manage that. Yeah. Because it
costs a fortune to do that show. Here is the budget live radio
show?
Well, we do a live radio show. The audience's here in the
audience in.
I said hi, budget. Oh, let the audience into the chat room by
ourselves in
here. Yes, we do. Here's the final one. This is you have to
listen very carefully to what Lee is saying here. Let me
Jarle. But I'm very happy about this. He I can and I can tell
you what's going to happen right now. If you liked NPR, if you
liked this American life on the podcast, say goodbye, say
goodbye podcasts are going away on public radio because he knows
they can't monetize them. They can't make money, because
they're running advertising. And there's no way to effectively
monitor how many people heard an ad. This is this is my life, you
can say a million times that it's possible to track and how
many downloads? This is the biggest bullshit ever. It is not
possible advertisers are uncomfortable with it. They like
in show mentions on podcast with Leo does that works very well.
Yeah, like that with a very specific audience. And believe
me, you're not gonna get a lot of negative Carbonite talk on
this week in tech. But that's okay. For what it is. But that's
what works. This is that is a type of in show not even native
advertising, that blatant advertising, which works and
people are loyal. And they support the program behind
because of that, but you're not going to get you can't on NPR
and a podcast, have a Toyota commercial. And the host talking
about how great Toyota is is not going to happen. So it's going
to go away. And here's proof for high
NPR does a great job of making podcasts available for most of
their programs. And, in fact, the way I listened to NPR, I'd
say half half of the content I listen to is is time shifted.
Listen later on a podcast to make it more convenient for my
schedule, wondering if you're going to enhance the podcast
capability or what your thinking is on podcasting.
Well, podcasting, and digital platforms are hugely important
for us most of what we produce is, is available digitally.
Enhanced podcasting. Well, we
think there's a lot that we can do with the NPR one platform,
the digital platform, which KQED was the NPR
one platform, you know, that is a weak, weak app with
proprietary crap. It's going to be encrypted. You'll have to
give your you'll have to subscribe and all this
information. It's not a podcast, the NPR one platform, a big
participant
in we it allows users to customize and with them in a
mobile digital experience,
mobile digital experience, John, do you have a mobile digital
experience until you get like it's
listening to the local news, the national news, local stories,
national stories. And so I think there's gonna be more in that
regard. But we more than anything, we want to make sure
that our local stations have the ability to still garner a huge
audience and
this is what he's worried about, too. He's he's he knows that he
cannot sell the idea of podcasts because the local stations don't
get their local advertising, underwriter, whatever you want.
Call it dollars, he's going to have to kill the podcast, this
coin, he has to kill it. He knows it has to. And this is
this is the core problem, and he has no answer. This is the core
problem, though is that the distribution has always been
where you make the money. This is why what we're doing is it
net monetizing through a network doesn't work. If This American
Life wants to go off on its own, and disconnect, and just take
donations, it will work. They won't be billionaires. But they
will be able to sustain they will be able to be they'll have
to cut back to the new I don't know how big the production crew
is there and you know, baby, you'd have to have a smaller
lease vehicle, but you will be able to sustain. But this is
going to be pulled away people who would be this is not going
to work. This is not going to work. And the current of orca
consulting group would entertain
helping you out with this. Yeah, they had the bad they
have their attitudes wrong, I don't think we could help them.
And that's why if you're gonna go into if you're gonna go in
that direction that we've heard it all before we've seen this
before, which is the same old tune. You don't want to face the
reality of things have changed. And we're going to milk the old
scheme as best we can. And how are you going to get more income
with with a waning audience? We're going to up the price jack
up
the rates. Yeah, jack up the rates, exactly. The end and
maybe native advertising, you know, you're right, that may
just may just come into it. So
I'm watching. I'm watching a New York station since we're on the
topic of native advertising. And so I would listen to this story.
And I am just as the news on on WPI X and they run this story is
native ad and I was just flabbergasted. They would
actually the funny thing is, it was obviously editorialize a
little bit because they submarine the purpose of the ad
at the very end.
Well this next story may come as a shock to some shoppers in New
Yorker new study out there finds that Whole Foods is actually a
bargain. According to Bloomberg intelligence a lot cheaper than
fresh, a new study extract, and we're seeing these researchers
took 97 items at each store and added up the prices. The basket
at Whole Foods cost $391 Fresh Durex cost $398 and accuracy
these costs 458 a day you are probably better off shopping in
your local grocery store. The study found that Whole Foods was
about $50 More expensive than fairway market, which is always
fun to shop
at fairway market was the advertiser.
No, it was the whole foods
are you showing it because yeah, I really messed that up. That
was really
good. No it fairway was the advertiser, you wouldn't be
emphasizing Whole Foods and the other Fresh Direct or whatever
it is, it was obviously a commercial put in by Whole Foods
to to bump these other direct competitors, fairways, not a
competitor with whole foods. So but these other two operations
are that do Fresh Direct.
They try to make it they try to try to make it look like real
content by throwing that in the end about with some non
competitive outfit. Yeah.
Funny. Yeah, because people who shop at Whole Foods might be
tempted to shop at these other competitive places. They're
never going to go shopping, you know, fairway, or any normal
place because you're the food's not organic. There's no not
enough kale.
There was a good article that I put in the show notes. It was,
it's called Tesla, Uber and internet sales taxes quit being
so easily duped on peach pundit. And it kind of starts off by
saying, I don't even know what peach pundit really is. But
what's interesting is how the writer of this article I don't
know who wrote it
talks about how
duped they get by the process of mainly PR companies. And the
example they use is Tesla, which of course Tesla can do no wrong.
You know, it's the Tony Stark of the internet. Elon Musk is you
know, he walks on water he pisses Chanel. In the US this
week's story about Tesla wanting to sell cars directly to
consumers as an example of how everyone gets duped, generally
follows an accepted formula to help you engage on their behalf
without letting letting pesky facts or shades of grey into
your strong belief that Tesla is a complete victim of overarching
government regulation and greedy auto dealers. The first step in
this process is to get a new story that is originated and we
talk about this all the time. In cases where the company has a
legislative interest at stake. It's often with the help of a
skilled PR firm. And and in this article says news is rarely
organic. These days, PR folks helped make sure that the right
message gets to the right people then via the magic of social
media, which of course is all these PR companies. Those
stories spread often with a you defied theme. In Tesla's case,
this is a company that is not allowed to sell cars in Georgia,
which is a violation of the free market. Why isn't Tesla allowed
to compete like a company should Q outrage now? So it's a good
article to read. Because it shows exactly how it works. And
Putin particular with online media in particular, it's very,
it's very, very sophisticated. And I think the, if you read
that the bottom line is without people doing what we do. Your
life will just be one huge, stinking pile of bullcrap,
you'll never get a different view on anything.
No, I don't think people realize a lot of our listeners do
realize this to a point. But and when we tell him to try to think
what life would be like without at least a show like this. I'm
sure there's somebody else that does this in some way shape. I
don't know if anyone puts as much effort into it as we do.
And I don't know if anyone's as cynical as we are in and we see
more BS, D at deeper levels
of that. But I think we also we've built up the worldwide
intelligence network that our producers
worldwide intelligence network that we yeah, yes, is a big
deal.
So when I, I played it, so I played this next clip, which is
30 seconds, which was the big story on pure Omni guard drive
my car don't rob Gregory wilds of $250 million. WordPress blog,
the intercept. There's no outrage. Well, it
turns out that what Dilantin was sending press officers at the
CIA were drafts that were yet to be published. And also very
detailed summaries of stories he planned and that he wanted the
press officers to take a look at and even according to him,
correct what they had a problem with. Now, it's not unusual for
journalists to try to curry favor with the source in order
to get them to speak to you and to help you with your story. But
this really shows an uncomfortable level of
collaboration, for lack of a better word, and it only shows a
window of time. That's very short. This was a couple of
months in 2012,
which means it's rampant. It's rampant. Of course, everything
you think Barbara Starr actually knows anything about the
Pentagon or warfare. She's like, it's like a female, large this
woman. She comes from like local stupid productions. She's not a
she's, this woman knows nothing about anything except she sits
in that little box of a studio for CNN. And they do breaking
news and she reads some script about whatever the Pentagon
tells her to do. Sorry, that's just what it is. And then if she
files a story, she'll have it all checked, everything's
checked. You think that Glenn Greenwald hasn't had every grand
green round or hasn't had everything? Checked and double
checked? And the guardian? Yes, yes. Yes, there's no secrets.
And so this is, to me, it's it's all it's all safe. It's all
contained for your protection. Don't worry about not a problem.
We have stuff like this, which is the art. This was an op ed,
by lined by Cameron and Obama. Yeah, I saw this. Yeah. And it
was funny because it's presented on PBS abilities, PBS. I have
the clip here from them introducing this there was there
was something in there that I thought was weird.
I heard it. Yeah.
I don't need that when I catch myself. I already hit. There's
something that was very strange about this. And it was, it was
besides the juxtaposition of who wrote this article. And we know
neither one of these guys wrote this article, but it was
bylined, Cameron and Obama So Cameron got top billing was in
the London Times.
That is that's an interesting pecking order. Yes, I found that
but it was London Times and I think they wouldn't allow it to
go the other way because it would because they always
accusing the prime minister of being the lap dog for America.
Right? Right. So they would so they switched it up to make it
this way, but it's still bull crap anyway, but play this clip
and I have a comment which clip is it? I'm a little America and
NATO and the Bs I'm sorry,
that would be the one I'd be looking for.
The Summit nations also mean to address the threat posed by the
Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria. In a joint Times of
London guest article today, President Obama and British
Prime Minister David Cameron wrote, If terrorists think we
will weaken in the face of their threats, they could not be more
wrong. countries like Britain and America will not be cowed by
barbaric killers. NATO chief Ross Musen said the
international community has an obligation to stop the militants
from advancing and he said allies would seriously consider
an Iraqi request for help. You also warn time is running out
for a deal keeping us and other troops in Afghanistan past the
end of the year. Yeah. So one more point what I what I
heard in there, which thought was odd. And I I don't believe
it was written by either one of these because I don't think
countries like Britain and America. Do you know of a
country named America? Is there a country out there called
America?
Britain? Is Britain a country? I know there's a great britain
kingdom, which leaves the country we're
talking about was this verbatim and the opposite this Yes. No,
they weren't. They headed up on the screen. And they were
reading she was reading off of the she wasn't really she was
reading from the prompter, but she was reading what was shown
on the screen it said countries like Britain and America.
Well, that's a very interesting question. Of course, there is no
America as the United States of America, that would be the
proper
or USA would be good. Or even I think even the United States you
can get by with but you there's no country America.
Well, it's America the Beautiful. There's a song and
Yeah, well, it's a start. I just found that very
odd. But I don't know what it means. I don't have like an
interpretation. And it didn't
know but I so that I got I not sure about Britain, because it
would be great Britain, I believe would be proper. Yeah.
GB or UK, United Kingdom.
Right. Not Britain, as
well, like Britain and America, the country of America. I mean,
this obviously was if this was written by Obama, then he did
he's it's not nuts. But it wasn't let's don't even think
that this was written by some PR agency for NATO. Well,
let's listen to what the Vice President thinks. Is it as a
country, the sky's
the limit? I mean, it is limitless. There's no reasons a
nation of Africa,
right and the nation of Africa. I mean, if that's what he
thinks,
that's insanity, if that's different.
I have the same clip. But yes, I'll get
the longer version because the longer version, the longer
What's the size of yours?
Okay,
I'll buy seven and a half inches. Well, I so
I have
on my butt, my length is 150.
You have?
Okay, you have the long version? I'd rather you play that.
Because the long version I wish I had I don't know what happened
to it ended with the short version. The long version
invites a segment of the show called drunk or not. Yes, it
does. I know. You are so right. And I wasn't until I was
clipping it. That was like, oh my it because the longer version
he starts off with this is Joe Biden. And this is talking about
ISIS. Now, Joe, do you mind if I set it up a little differently?
Well, you mean, as opposed to the my setup was that apparently
there's a housing development call in a town called HAL, which
I think is in North Carolina.
I don't even know about that part.
They're gonna be they're all going to end up living in hell.
No, no, hold on. Let's back it up a little bit. up today. This
is I think this is important to do. Today, the board this
weekend, the our president of America, the president of
America, America is presumably still in Wales, or he's
traveling, whatever. So he couldn't do his podcast, which
will not be you can find it on NPR one, our digital platform.
So Joe, what does Joe get to do?
He gets his job, dude, this is your
clip of the podcast. I'm
setting up the drunk or not drunk by going back. It's
reverse chronolock chronology. Okay, I'm alright. Yeah. So Joe
gets to fill in for the President. On on the show. Now,
if you're doing a show, if you if, let's say it's Devorah
Horowitz unplugged, it would be unlikely but for some reason, I
would fill in for you, I would say, you know, Hey, everybody,
this is an unrehearsed unscripted thing about finance
and, and I'm filling in for John C. Dvorak. My name is Adam
curry. That's what you do on a podcast, right? Should you do on
a radio show?
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Joe Biden. I'm filling in for
President Obama while he addresses the NATO summit in
well.
This Joe realize it. This is the President's address to the
nation. This is not a show podcast or radio filling in he's
such an but he's just a play a little bit more of this intro
because he's going to use this typically this is about three
minutes. He does six minutes of basically, Joe kicks ass. And I
should be your next president. When the president yes, yeah,
yeah. So listen, that listen to his next line. This was this is
very well written. This, by the way,
addresses the NATO Summit in Wales. When the President I took
office when the President and
I took office. That's a nice way to put it. like it
yeah, in January of 2009, this nation was in the midst of the
greatest economic crisis. since the Great Depression. Our
economy had plummeted at a rate of 8%. And
I just wanted to hear what he's saying how he's making it sound
like it. He's like he took office and he saw single quarter
part of the fastest economic decline anytime in the last half
century. Now listen to this. Millions of families were
falling underwater on their homes. So I'm falling
underwater,
and I can't get up. This is not even underwater on their homes.
This is not even English Joe,
and threatened with foreclosure. The iconic automobile industry
was under siege,
the iconic automobile industry was under siege, really was
there like a gate around Detroit with Japanese see Toyota's is
making sure that no open no laborers or food to get in.
But yesterday, yesterday's jobs report was another reminder of
how far we've come to this. And
I was going to take credit for something that is just crazy.
We've had
54 straight months of job creation, okay, if he says 54
straight months of job creation? Well, yeah, one job is a job
created.
And that's the longest streak of uninterrupted job growth in the
United States history that's
different. It's either job growth, or job creation. It's
not both that one can be get the
other and that's bullcrap. By the way, of course, it's bulk
job growth, it only occurs after 150,000 or 155,000. Thank you,
thank you gain of that much, because that is the replacement
gain that is needed on a month by month basis. 100/5. Anything
below that is job is jaw fraction. So there's no chance
that they did that, because they had plenty of low numbers that
during that period, including the most recent one, which was
145.
Now here, this is where the lie, your lie, total lie. This is
really nice. We've had this conversation before, you will
not want to play our moniker during this. You want to have
your undivided attention. Sorry,
I'm just I know, I
understand. It's okay. I just wished you had a song to play,
you know. We have often discussed. In fact, I recall a
whole episode about the definition of middle class. What
is the middle class? Is that a number you make? Is that where
you live? Is that what is it? And I think that was pretty
inconclusive? Other than the conclusion is it is not a
number, it is not a an amount of money you make. Would you agree
with that assessment of our conversation about that? I
think, more or less I mean, I think you can, if you wanted to
read bring a read visit a topic I would say that marks probably
disgusted or define it the best is just simply the bourgeoisie.
Correct, which is a certain group of people that aren't the
elites, and they're not, you're not saying
you're not starving, you're not eating dog food, and you're not
an elite. That is pretty much the middle class. But let's have
Joe, explain exactly what the middle class is. And this will
be the only time I will ask you to listen to someone and
consider if you want to vote for this man or not.
You know, the middle class is not a number. It's a value set
the value set, it means being able to own your own home, raise
your children in a safe neighborhood.
Now No, no, just listen to it. It's only 24 seconds. Because
there's a kicker at the end. Brah. Okay,
bro, middle class is not a number. It's a value set. It
means being able to own your own home, raise your children in a
safe neighborhood, send them to a school where if they do well,
they can qualify to go to college and if they get
accepted, you're able to find a way to be able to send them to
college. In the meantime, if your parents need help, being
able to take care of them, and hope to put aside enough money
that your children will not have to take care of you. That's the
American dream.
Oh mediocrity. American Dream is the American dream. Ladies and
gentlemen, we just don't just be mediocre. Be in the middle.
Follow the rules. retire with dignity. No. Joe Biden know the
American Dream is what I'm living. I'm living the American
dream by providing an outstanding product with another
small businessman and growing and helping people and feeling
good about it and only in America. That's the American
dream to strive for greatness to be the best podcast in the
universe not the middle class podcast in the universe. Joe
Biden. He has an unAmerican thing to say
on American I say he's okay then
now you have the drunk not drunk one. Yeah, of course. I've
got that absolute.
When these barbarians replicate it was Steven what they did with
Foley
I love this a bit. He talks on you drunk right now drunk drunk,
that I love how he says Steven, but he can't remember James's
name or Jim. Steve, I think Steven said of Foley Foley.
When these barbarians Barbary replicate it was Stephen what
they did with Foley, who is from New Hampshire? Yeah.
It was important votes and important votes in New
Hampshire.
And that's what I need to learn to tune how dry I am on the
harmonica dry I
am. Yes. But listen to this. So in this piece, what you're about
to hear is very typical of a drunk person, where he all of a
sudden, he kicks up like 500% in an attitude that really just
starts going nuts.
Yeah, he's in the bar. Bars, right.
So let's, let's just take it back. This is a good one. We're
in cheers. That were in the bar. Cheers. And Woody's there. And
Carla's there and norm is there. Then you just end there's a
little bit of an echo just because the the joint is pretty
empty. And there's Old Joe and Old Joe sitting there and he's
drunk. And he's angry and he been he's going to show them
just how angry he is when
these barbarians replicate it was Steven what they did with
Foley Foley, who is from New Hampshire. They somehow think
that is going to lessen us resolve frighten us.
Where was the bar cheers? Boston
Intimidators but if they think the American people will be
intimidated they don't know us very well.
Then this is bring me another beer.
No, he's drinking straight shots this guy here comes
came back after 911 Here comes
in we were in tears
we dusted ourselves off we made sure that Osama bin Laden was
never ever again threaten the American people we came back
Boston Strong
both were cheers the bar Boston Strong.
No one but resolved. To be certain. It just didn't happen
again today. American may be grieving
grieving grieving he's sad. He's like sour I get acid reflux
grieving is the puke is the bile is coming up on his throat is
dry heaving water he's driver can
may be grieving, still grieving. I'm Jim Greenwood and NATO New
Hampshire. As I said, I grew up in Rochester,
which is not a New Haven, Rochester, New York, but the
American
people are so much stronger. Storm are so much more resolved.
Hold on a second, I need to pour myself a drink
than any enemy can fully understand. As a nation, we're
united, united and when people harm Americans, we don't
retreat. We don't forget. We take care of those who are
grieving. reborn as finished. They should know
that we retire with dignity and send our kids to college.
We will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought
to justice. Right? Is where they will resign is where they will
reside.
I'm drunk. I'm so wasted. That is that's just inappropriate.
I don't know why the guy can't not drink.
Here's the thing give a public address. I had to
drink I had to drink does tired. I just drink. I had to drink.
I've had I've poured myself a glass of the platinum label
that we talked about. We discussed the platinum labels.
Johnnie Walker.
Yes. 18 years
should be quite tasty. It's
very smooth. Here's Joe's outro on his filling in just to bring
it back around to the gates of hell. He's not drunk here. By
the way. My
fellow Americans are I'm sorry. That's the
intro. I want the outro was that the outro? Yeah, sorry. This
sounds like the intro is the same thing until
Americans we know how to do this. We've done it before is
the way we used to do business and we can do it that way.
Again, all the middle class in this country wants is a chance.
No guarantee just a chance. Can't Americans want to work?
And when given a fair shot, the American worker has never ever,
ever let his country down.
Now this is what this is what he should have used in his speech
in his. But he didn't too bad,
folks, folks, it's never a good bet to bet against American
people.
That's what he should have said that would have been two decades
of hell. Yeah. Thanks for listening.
Now he does. He's got to invoke God hold on a second.
And God bless you all. They may God protect our
kids crying that the end here. This is so beautiful how he does
this listen, to listen to a
vet to bet against American people. Thanks for listening.
And God bless you all. And may God protect our troops.
Yes. So the middle class, you know, get some money and oh,
yes, protect our troops.
Yes, clown actually thinks he could run the country. No, boy.
I'm going to show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
You can go back and I'm going to look at that video. And you will
see that he is almost crying.
Yeah, well, that's what he's probably he was taught that
that's cool thing to do. Show Yes. You show your emotions.
Yes. Kill your emotions. Yes. Makes you want to go. Oh, all

podcast, one platform digital From luck and luck, more or less
the same units more money, no, no, none of the roll the end, as
you see, even the guys who really make the money, they know
they can do it this way they want to do it doesn't work, the
compromised. Thank you very much. Thank you for
understanding thank you for being a part of our global
intelligence network. Thank you for producing the program. It is
really really highly appreciated. And we're going to
be doing more of these road shows. I'm very excited about
it. I think of though this was this is the show, I wish I would
have been home because I'm kind of done. I don't really have any
more global intelligence to collect from here except now.
So you're good further, if you're traveling, I know I when
I travel, I can only take it so long. I sure I would do a quick
study, I go around, run around like crazy. Do as much as I can.
And I get out of there. What At what point do you run out of?
When does it become less interesting? I mean, 10 days,
10 days to nine days, you can handle 10 days when I return on
Tuesday, it'll be two weeks, so 10 days, but the way it works
with travel and the show, I believe it is good to go back
and have all the time ready to do more analysis and deeper
work. For the Thursday show. I just have a couple more. I just
didn't have an extra day really. But there's the Amsterdam we
this is what we have. But it's a different type of show. I think
it's good people like it very much. They like the different
perspective. So I'm very excited about where we'll go next, which
I don't know, but we're definitely going to be working
on and this will be mainly in conjunction with Miss Mickey's
work as well, which is handy.

that's that is pretty much all the jock and I can do Yeah, well
that was pretty good.
I do like doing it. But no nice things today. None of that there
will be new fun that way whatsoever. However However
However however we do want to get rid of all these we do need
to talk about a few things and I will put us onto the onto the
right track here. Let me see. Do I have this? Yes. Oh mighty.
We are here hashtag America near our hashtag target soon.
That's right. ISIS is coming to you. They're bringing it to
America. They're coming anywhere. CNN is just all over
this. They had a nice little piece long piece cut it down.
Cut that down. Man on the street. Always good as a man on
the street stuff when you're worried about ISIS and being
attacked
because public is should really be the source of all knowledge.
Yes. So here's a guy walking down the street doesn't even
follow the news. But ask him and even better if
you find that Australian visiting. ask that person. Yeah.
So three people man on the street. This is how this is fear
porn brought to you by CNN, who I think they're on a good track
for ratings. They they know what they're doing. I haven't checked
them in a while but I have a feeling that this is as Jeff
Zucker written all over this I screw they're smarter than most
evolved terrorist group we've ever seen. By the way, get the
gay guy to say this ISIS group is that the most sophisticated
group we've ever seen? Yes. Smarter. Yes, I screw they're
smarter than most evolved terrorist group we've ever seen.
Don't you love it
smarter.
Come on, we've seen us the most sophisticated terrorist group
we've ever seen.
I am concerned but I don't think we can gauge where they'll be or
when it'll be the fact that we are still in the active time of
war. I
think you have to be careful
with less than one week before the anniversary of the 911
attacks. If
you knew that was coming, right, we have to throw that we got to
get everyone a little crazy and get you hyped up 911 greater
Grace greater
York City is the us in a position to prevent another
attack.
The FBI has 80 offices outside the United States, FBI, she'll
talk and obviously they are in constant contact with their
counterparts and trying to see if anybody anywhere is picking
up anything about a possible attack one potential
threat the seemingly increasing number of terrorists now with
Western passports
this I love that aim. Do you remember that Mohamed Atta had I
don't know a US passport if this is nothing new but
but according to experts, there's an even greater imminent
concern. Even though ISIS has never carried out an attack in
the West, some experts believe it would not tread on our kite
is 911 date because its leader Al Baghdadi want to is
very narcissistic. Many believe that that he may not want
he's narcissistic, but he doesn't want to do anything on
911 He wants his own day
narcissistic why do we only have two crappy
pictures of a do an attack on 911?
He has not been infected by the selfie meme clearly. Good point.
John.
hight is 911 date because its leader Al Baghdadi want to
is very narcissistic and many believe that that he may not
want to do an attack on the 911 said diversity because of being
in competition with the legacy of Osama bin Laden. He wants his
own legacy. He wants to be regarded as the biggest, baddest
FBI making crap up.
Yes, yes, terrorists that
ever lived. But experts say that doesn't mean locations aren't
vulnerable. Now. That's right, especially those that draw large
crowds. Because the ideology experts say is like a germ can't
control it.
Quarantine and ideas that spread over 1000s of websites
to ban others here comes unlawful content
on the internet. There's no real ability to prevent that message
from being spread,
looking at neutrality will solve that problem.
Now, there was something you said earlier about the the
threat of the immigrants coming in across the border. Which is
was echoed by my friend the Constitution constitutional
lawyer in Texas my friend Eric, who said I'm afraid of you know,
the crazy Muslims coming into the Mexican border. He's a smart
man. The man has a constitutional lawyer that he is
one of the smartest people I know just like the smart
terrorist and and he is falling for this. Do you remember when
they
can just waltz in with a visa anyway you know take a vacation
well they have been through the miserable trouble while I'm
going across the Rio Grande
why even try to rationalize this when someone with multiple law
degrees very successful constitutional law practice very
successful is so easily duped so easily duped? Me still he's due
to he really believes that the coming into Texas the crazy
Muslim ISIS and now Don Lemon will help everyone Don Lemon.
Yeah. Don Lemon found a Texas sheriff who was willing to go
along with the here they come or they're here, whatever.
If you live here in New York, or if you've been here in a subway
system, and the road passengers are constantly worn. If you see
something, say something
that's the jingle they never want to license it from us. But
okay, fine. Every one of us has to be on our toes on our toes.
Are you on your toes? Johnny? Are you on your toes?
Actually? No, I'm not on my toes at the moment. What does that
even mean? I can't be on my toes. It
doesn't make sense. What does that mean? On your toes? You
should be on your toes. What is the etymology? It's like you're
when you're on your toes, you're ready to make a move. Is that
really what it means? So I bet we're first a sports when your
toes work. I record my friend on your toes a musical with a book
by Richard Rogers Abbott and heart while teaching this this
is not a background on your toes originally conceived as a film
as a vehicle for Fred Astaire. Britain to where it is where do
we understand how this is? This is has nothing to do with
terrorism.
It's just
just is
don't question authority. Just go with it.
And one Texas sheriff says he is ready for ISIS. We're doing By
now.
The guy's got a hat on. He's got the hat. He's got the star. He's
got everything. Ready for ISIS. He's ready for ISIS County,
Texas. Good evening, Sheriff. Good evening. Good evening.
Good evening. How are you? I'm how are you? How are
you soon? I'm sorry. Did I call you sooner? Boy I forgot that
could not get this guy's perfect Central Casting great.
I hope your greatest Well, you have said that you want to be
ready in case of an attack by ISIS or by any other terror
group.
What's your biggest concern?
Well, the fact that they're already here
already hear the fact that they're already here. They're on
the border for about a year you places on the border that you
can walk across the river from the Presidio. There's no water
in the river.
That's right. You just walk right through just come home
with your eyes. With your black, the black outfit and your white
you add sneakers and you and you told you Oh, does it become
overhead beheaded by bad people?
There's no fences. There's nothing nothing,
no fence, no nothing. Becoming here with a machete the little
pencil knives they baby beheading people in orange
jumpsuits to
keep you out. We've got what 10 to 15 million that are
undocumented aliens that are inside the United States. All of
them could be terrorist, every single one of them 10 to 15
million undocumented aliens could be assets.
And there's no doubt that have that there have been some people
coming in that should not be here that are from places other
than Mexico, or Hispanics. With Astra
be afraid. See some say some behind toes, people be on your
toes. I tell you. This is so disgusting. But this is the
report. I like the the report about Twitter. And this is
interesting for a number of reasons. One, because Twitter.
And you were complaining just before the show started, John,
that even though it wasn't correct, but we what came up and
this is this is kind of tech news. Tech News. We do have a
lot of phones coming out this week. So it'll be an exciting
week. We're
talking it's gonna be great. A lot of phones coming up.
Great, great. Great.
So Twitter is putting everyone on notice they've already
started by adding things to your timeline that you are not
subscribed to. And of course, the next step will be an
algorithm. It's not a timeline of feed. They call it the
timeline. They do I believe so. I don't think so. I have the Oh,
do you think they call it a feed?
I think they call it anything but the timelines I have is a
Facebook term.
Let me add here is the Wall Street Journal. Do you think the
Wall Street Journal is any good at all? No. Okay. The Wall
Street Journal, Twitter, hence a put I'm sorry. restatement?
Twitter puts the timeline on notice and hints of group chats.
Let me see if there is a quote from
related timeline. I noticed that means they put the timeline of
Facebook.
I don't think so. I think they very well just by this is
obviously a PR piece a PR company put this together. The
Who is this?
Your Rico,
Koh we think Yoriko just came up with this Yuriko got fed this by
some promotional person on Wednesday. America. No, I don't
know. On Wednesday, financial chief Anthony Noto offered some
clues for Twitter's product roadmap as the company looks to
jumpstart user growth. Speaking at the city global growth
conference in New York, which I apologize I did not go look, I
will do this for Thursday, said the company's new head of
product Daniel Graf has made improve add, has made improving
the services search capability one of his top priorities for
2015. Quote, if you think about our search capabilities, we have
a great data set of topical information about topical
tweets. Noto said, the hierarchy within search really has to lend
itself to the to that taxonomy, taxonomy whatever. You're just
saying, Google, we're coming. With that comes the need for
quote, an algorithm that delivers the depth and breadth
of the content we have on a specific topic. And eventually,
and then eventually as it relates to people. Okay,
Twitter's timeline is organized in reverse chronological order.
The Wall Street Journal is writing. I don't think they
actually said it themselves. You're correct. But they talk
about that. They are comparing Twitter to Facebook for this
very reason. But Twitter, okay, right. So Twitter, I think
Twitter if they're going to they're completely stupid,
although this is probably a good idea because they need to start
injecting government propaganda into your feed. We'll call it a
feed.
And when we said a while I do get something that's not anyone
I wanted it to follow. Yes. So it wasn't from a retweet
what the The claim is is that they will be also developing an
algorithm, which only Robert Scoble will be able to figure
out to make it work by whatever you have to do favoriting
whatever their version of liking is our team. But of course
Twitter is now part of all government's infrastructure and
is probably a long bet for the stock market. There is no way
Twitter is ever going to go Facebook will have issues
Twitter, I think they solidified their existence with what they
are now doing. Here's a little news report from CNN
when the world is in conflict, Twitter take center stage this
is
all you need to know by that's a buy signal right there.
Once just a social network. Twitter's become a platform
where democracies are born, dictatorships overthrown again
over Facebook and Twitter.
Is it fascinating how a company that can dictatorships or
countries are overthrown, yet they can't make $1? What is how
can they not make any profit,
but during the summer of strife, it's gone from carrying the
message to defining. When ISIS broadcasts the gruesome
beheading of an American journalist on Twitter to social
CEO took a rare stance, vowing to suspend any account posting
that video
oh boy because Whoa, God forbid we see how fake the video is.
Twitter also pointed to their rules prohibiting unlawful use
and direct specific violence against other
unlawful not illegal unlawful. These words are important. This
is the unlawful content and unlawful traffic that will
become part of
banned any account if somebody puts the video on their feed.
Yep.
The tech company acting more like a news organization, and
evolution of sorts from a free for all virtual soapbox to one
that's more controlled, becoming more aggressive to what its
members see and suspending accounts associated with ISIS.
Over the past 10 days thought there's been a purging of
accounts of Twitter accounts used by ISIS members. And so
we've seen a at least a short term reduction for now, as the
line between Twitter as a tech company and media platform blur.
Terrorists have taken notes or recruitment videos, once prude,
are now more polished. They're now in HD, even cable news cell
text at the bottom of the screen. They aim to spread a
well produced message on Twitter and other social networks.
There's an inherent link between
what's up I don't know who this is. But this is the type of
experts CNN put on the air through sky.
Terrorism in the media. Terrorists use the media in
order to help spread terror throughout the broader
population. ISIS I think is particularly savvy with the
media,
as the content involves the tech company that many would call a
media company continues to evolve as well.
This is perfect. So while everybody thinks that we're
getting rid of ISIS because the tech company knows what they're
doing, we're really propagating the true terrorists man we are
here hashtag America near our hashtag target soon be afraid
hashtag America.
It's disheartening. And by the way, that
clip is a great clip the Clip of the Day. No, no, not that clip.
I'm talking about the clip that you keep playing over and over
but that's clip of forever. That thing is just that's a good
great evergreen clip. We have a down with the tech news because
that was no
I'm not done with tech news. We have two more pieces of tech
news but you know, here's what I have you tell me if you're
interested in one, the Spotify CEO saying that musicians we're
going to make a lot of money with Spotify. I'm sorry. Spotify
is what I'm calling the company now. Spotify Hey.
Ringing the bell
you want to hear him or not that interested? No. No. Then I have
very well the IKEA BookBook commercial which I thought was
very cute. You probably watch the IKEA BookBook commercial
BookBook odunsi This no oh this is great. Well, the audio is it.
You don't see you don't really get the full effect with the
audio. But what they are promoting here in an apple esque
type commercial is their IKEA 2015 catalog, which is a book
and here's the commercial that goes along with it you can you
can imagine what the visuals are just gotten rid of anyway here
comes
you know, once in a while, something comes along that
changes to a device so simple and intuitive. Using it fists
honest.
Introducing 2015 Plus Yeah, it's not a digital warranty. It's the
first thing to note is no cables, not even a power 2015
catalog comes fully charged, and the battery life is eternal.
Do you? Are you able to hear this? I don't find the audio
that great to listen to. Yeah, I
can hear it, I get it. It's a funny funny joke, that's
probably been done a million times,
this one has not been done a million times, and I won't play
it to annoy you any further. But when they get to the part, where
they're talking about how the interface works, it's actually
this is this one's written better than anything I've seen
in this genre of joking about books versus E. And the you
know, that gets you the single you swipe from right to left or
left to right. And then And have you noticed this one thing, no
lag, all this? All the pictures are instantaneous in full HD
color. And it's not bad. The commercial is cute. Yeah,
I probably written that column. Sure, five times. This
is why you're mad about it. I get it. Because
they know I'm mad about it. Because you obviously never read
any of those hilarious columns. I will say I didn't know do the
leg joke. I haven't done that alag
joke was good. I liked the battery with the eternal battery
life. Batteries. Yeah, I liked their multiuser of the insert
little little bookmark colored bookmark tabs and then sharing
you actually share you see the hands handing the book over. You
haven't written this one in the era of social networking. I'm
presuming you've written this one many times. Probably. Right.
So you can be a little mad. Because this is I agree, this is
your beat. And think about the writers of this commercial. I'm
not sure which ad agency did it. But you know, they're they're
got hookers and blow right now.
This thing is viral. Yeah, yeah. They probably did okay for
themselves. So
you're a little mad about that. That's okay. Okay, yeah. Agenda
21. Climate change anybody?
I have something I'm more mad about. I want to play it first.
Let's do it. You can go to agenda 21. It just is the most
irksome thing I've heard on. And there's the fact that the entire
news organization that relayed the story didn't wasn't up in
arms. But this is the future of the scam we call Obamacare and
force us to buy insurance. This is the Gilead at 4000.
The clip
you want to explain or is this all you need is play it.
Gilead Sciences is reportedly close to making a generic
version of its $84,000 drug. And that is where we begin tonight's
market focus the drug called Sovaldi cures about 90% of
patients with hepatitis C who take it, but its high cost has
stirred controversy. The company is said to be close to a
licensing deal that would allow a lower cost version of the drug
to be sold in about 80 developing countries, but not
here in the US.
Does anybody find this just disturbing and annoying and
disgusting? I got hepatitis C and we have a drug for you. It's
it's gonna cost you $84,000. Yeah. And the generic version,
by the way will probably be $60,000. What what is this?
Is that for one pill or should be arrested? Is that for one
pill? Or what is that?
I guess or the treatment? Maybe? Maybe to
look at Chris and then they're gonna make it for the for the
poor countries. Everywhere else. They're gonna get a deal and we
get no deal. Deal. No deal. We get no deal.
Now you'd have to go to Mexico to get your deal. That's pretty
bad.
That is I gotta hand that one too. That's pretty bad. But you
know what we have here? Well, what is that? Well, that was
weird. Yep. Sorry. Are you still there?
Well, I didn't say anything. No, I
did. I said weird. You said weird. Yeah, I said, weird.
Yeah,
that was not good. Let's roll this one out for a second. Let's
talk some
more about common core.
Trying to get common core out there. Getting everybody all
pumped up about how cool it is. There's a local campaign that
has its it's, I believe these are packages that are produced,
in some cases on a national level, but it seems like every
local station has their own version of it. I'm not sure if
if if somehow the it's all the same. But if all these low, I'm
not sure how it works. I've got to figure out who's behind this.
These are the common core helper and there's a thing there's a
website for two
second, just a bag of rice. It turns out that A bag of rice.
What? Hamburger helpers just
assume it's a Common Core helper video series. Then here is one.
This is an example of one of these news reports. I'm seeing
them show up everywhere. If you take a look at this, but they're
all on a local level, and to have the local math expert or
teaching as expert,
advanced packages that you produce at some central location
and you drop your own little bits in there,
here you go. And today, our math teacher Eileen Ryan from
Williams mills and maple West elementary teaches us basic math
using a base 10. from you and I were in school, we used to just
memorize nine plus six equals 15. Not anymore with the Common
Core students need to understand why that's the case. And Mrs.
Ryan is here to explain.
Thank you. So our young learners might not be altogether
comfortable thinking about what nine plus six is. They are quite
comfortable thinking about their friend 10
Okay, John, are you ready? You will you will want
to know you're gonna make me sick,
you will want to have your pencil for your friend 10 I run.
Oh my god. This is
the thinking behind this campaign is to enable parents to
understand the new Common Core methodology that their children
are coming home with because they just really don't
understand it. Well, the
problem has been these kids are taught the weirdest stuff that
makes no sense. And then I don't know if it's weird. It's weird.
This is not the same. Oh, okay, but okay.
I'm sorry about this new thing. By the way. This is like my
latest Tourette's thing.
Three times today.
Sorry. Do you hear what I've
been sniffing?
Yeah. No, I know. I have a sniff it's like a Tourette's tick that
I have now I'm trying to sniff but not break the noise gate.
It's stupid. I'm trying to it's I'm working on
it. Well, it's not bothering me whatever it is. Okay. Anyway,
the parents get this stuff and they say no give us So Jimmy
just looks at number six is look at you got nine items here and
you got six put them all together. It's it's 15 You can
count them. No, they won't let the parents do any teaching at
home that this is to me I'm starting to see this
differently. I'm starting to see common core as a way to break
the back of homeschoolers.
Oh, that's an interesting observation. Besides the fact
that there's hundreds of millions of dollars to be made
and complete new curriculum and all kinds of
does not contribute to this fund. Here we go for
students need to understand why that's the case. And Mrs. Ryan
is here to
explain. Thank you. So our young learners might not be all
together comfortable thinking about what nine plus six they
are quite comfortable thinking about their friend 10 tennis
okay,
my invisible friend thinking about your what? My invisible
friend 10 is their friend
1010 is emphasized in our young grades, as we're working on a
base 10 system, a base
10 system job. I've never heard of such malarkey.
So if we can partner nine to a number and anchor 10, we can
help our students see what nine plus six is. So we're going to
decompose our six and we
decompose.
Is it on the garbage heap? Is it the smoldering mildew posting
like like a banana peel is all black and full of fuzzy hair and
plus six is so we're going to decompose our six and we know
six is made up of parts. One of his parts is a one.
Six is made up of parts. John, did you know that one of his
parts is one?
Hmm. Never knew any other part is a five. Okay,
really what happened to the two? It's also made a two I think,
I think it's a two and a three is how I think of the five
there's a three and there's another three and that's a six
or two to two is a six Yes. So what happened to those are they
were they left out
are not your friends. They're not your friends, my friend.
We're now going to anchor our we're gonna anchor Be quiet you
Hey, Dvorak, last row, be quiet. You're disrupting the class,
we're going to anchor something
that's made up of parts. One of his parts is a one and the other
part is a five. We're now going to anchor our nine to one
allowing our students students to anchor to that 10. Now our
students are seeing what's that we have 10 plus five being
having now more comfort seeing that 10 plus five is 15. That's
much more comfortable than looking at nine plus six, an
isolated math.
Isolated math fact
One
contradiction in this world
that's right. I wonder how she deals with 246 plus 632 Do you
take a one away from that and try to find the tans How do you
do this? That is Clip of the Day even though it was annoying but
I'll give it to you
real quick clip of the day
yes for that anything common core you should get Tip of the
Day
Well that's very good interview yes
you know you're getting this show has been going on
forever. It's time to go. Do you know what you get when you when
you have an entire population? Raised on Common Core? Rotten
core know you get Al Sharpton on television.
Thanks. Good evening. Is this Crown Hall day to rewatching
that was Attorney General Eric Holder ad DS about some
Republicans at home already beating the drums of war today
the Pentagon refuted that claim to the Pentagon. And he said the
American people do not want him to quote, dwindling, he they do
not want him twiddling his thumbs.
Don't drill your thumb you can
get a gig as a contortionist, intravenous fluids and pills
coated with Gillette. Gillette, Gillette. We don't leave our
women or women women or men in uniform behind it's a monument
to the uterus of the Cheney, Representative Raul our Labrador

are finally clipping that stuff.
I like count. Well this is a whole video series. Now. This is
the third is Al Sharpton versus the teleprompter.
Yeah, I know the dogs standing it's very good work
is really really good. It's about time it's done. The only
thing I have which I could save until Thursday but I'm a little
worried because we have the big global climate summit 2014
coming up and this is the big this is the big one. What days
are coming up September 23
You don't need to rush into it. Yeah, I
need to do two parts I really do need to do two things
all right. Well let's do that because I have some stuff too
but I'm going to put it off. Do you want to do one thing you
want to just do one thing just to make you feel I got my AQ nd
I think this is the most important thing going on.
Because we know that the India's of being targeted by us being
Tito I've already predicted the bola thing but they apparently
now the terrorists are going after him with a bowl crap story
AQ India,
India place parts of the country on alert today after Al Qaeda
announced that it is expanding into the subcontinent. The
group's leader on all the worry issued a videotaped message. I'm
going to sit on my data suit in my Muslim
brothers everywhere, announced to all Muslims in the world and
especially in the Indian subcontinent, the founding of a
new branch is to help raise the flag of jihad and the return of
the Islamic rule in the subcontinent.
Also already charged that Muslims in India have long been
subjected to injustice and oppression by the Hindu
majority. Al Qaeda has recently been overshadowed by the Islamic
State, an offshoot with brutal tactics and which broke ties
with the main growth last year.
I think even I think they're not doing it right. They don't know
what they're
doing. I mean, listen to the story here in in the
Netherlands. They now speak of the Dutch
Jihad belt, and they have a jihad belt
to jihad belt. Yes,
a belt. Something you wear. No, it's like the Bible Belt. And
the in the Netherlands, they're using the English words Jihad
belt.
Where's the jihad belt?
It's well it's three different regions. They've kind of it's
the southwest, with a jihadist from The Hague and Rotterdam,
Amsterdam, Delft su Tamiya howdah. Then they have a
regional network which is RNM and Namie. And in the middle of
the country, ie they have the jihadist and the sympathizers
from Utrecht O'Meara Hill from Zeiss and Hauser is at this
point. This is just called Gitmo nation. Jihad ease man, every
everyone here is just a jihadist.
Well, they should do something about it.
I'm doing nothing. Then he would have a jihad there in Texas.
Is there a jihad belt in Texas? No.
But there was a dude arrested who had an ISIS flag on the back
of his jacket. Yes.
Well, the joke, of course, is that ISIS flag is just stolen.
It's not
the Raiders flag. You know,
it's a traditional home besides being a Raiders flag. It's a
traditional Islamic flag that just as a general flag they'd
ISIS didn't even design their own flag. That's not a
specifically new flag.
Oh, it's a dumb old flag. Not even a good flag. No, it looks
like a Raiders flight. We had to make a flag. We wouldn't make
that flag. No, no, I put the Raider in the middle sir Devon
of the Denver Metro foothills. Says you guys are spot on
regarding the farcical beheadings by ISIS. ISIL is
advertising whatever you want to call it? He hasn't. He says why
don't we
try to rebrand them
as the Arab super sinister head attacking terrorists or the all
star super heinous attack team instead of ISIL or ISIS. I
thought that was a good one. It took me a while to figure it
out. But when I had it, I liked it. I like to the Prime
Minister government is behind this like somehow that's why we
can't we can't have any funding and we cannot guarantee as a
raider fan involved. We
can't have any fun with those guys. All right, this final. I
have to do this because we have this big thing coming up. It's
the new IPCC report. Everyone will be talking about what Obama
promised. And the end is a movie that just came out disruption
the movie, which will make you just bile will rise in your
throat I need to play the opening minute and a half of
this movie, which is available online. Of course, it's from the
three fifty.org people, the 350 this is completely rife with all
kinds of in my mind criminal activity, stealing my people
under blys. At this, just imagine fear porn, things
burning icebergs, crashing, kittens being chopped off the
heads being chopped off and sodomized everything you could
imagine as horrible as in this isn't the visuals of this audio.
out of there seeing New York exploding
is new and dramatic evidence of what's happening. Tonight we'll
look at the impact already being felt red flags
about extreme weather we've all endured together all across
the globe.
We are literally engaged in an unprecedented experiment with
the one planet that we know of that can support life.
We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the
failure to do so would betray our children and future
generations.
The big question mark is the future of force and a new kind
of normal.
Gearing up for the UN hosted climate change summit in New
York, UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon will host the summit I
will convene our climate summit for leaders at the highest
level. I urge political leaders of the world to prioritize their
energy on climate change.
We have to get serious about bringing real commitments to the
table for that summit
if things go business as usual didn't not didn't die
well you kind of get the idea there.
That guy said at the end of things don't do you do business
as usual? We will die.
Oh yeah. I have this complete complete super porn for the
fearful. Now there and and you will recall bunkie moon called
for this. I think it was from Davos or we had clips of him
talking about the September 23. And that's what Al Gore was on
stage talking all this bull crap. The end and what I found
interesting is in those clips with Bunky moon the Secretary
General of the United Nations Christine Lagarde The current
director of the head honcho of the IMF, the International
Monetary Fund is standing next to him. And she had noticed now
her uniform. She has a red, so an orange shawl, kind of like a
like a scarf, which he has tossed over her right shoulder.
Which is like some kind of military garb or something.
Because of course, he has no military standing. She has no no
royalty standing. It's a sash. It's kind of like a sash, but
it's orange. He has it tossed over her right you can see
Google pictures and you'll see that she does this. It is so
pathetic. How this woman needs to be of stature so she can
stand next to people or be her own royalty. just sad. Then we
have Carrie watermelon had big doofus goofball carry, but who
do you abuse the most recent NATO Summit to talk about
climate change and to invoke or evoke religion as being a
religious duty to fight climate change? Because in the Bible, my
friend,
our faiths are inextricably linked on any number of things
that we must confront and deal with in policy concepts today.
Our fates are inextricably linked on the environment.
I think he also does not say inextricably, I think he's a
problem with this word. He has a problem with his word.
For many of us, respect for God's creation, also translates
into a duty to protect and sustain his first creation,
earth, the planet. Before God created man, He created heavens
and earth. confronting climate change is in the long run one of
the greatest challenges that we face I find
this to be a fascinating bridge between creationism and science.
It's It's mind boggling what he is attempting
to visit. And it's all bull crap. Anyway, the way he's
presenting it.
Well, let's listen to the last 20 seconds. Look, we're the only
people in the known universe who listen to what these morons are
saying, I know it's Arxan I know you're mad.
No, no, no, no, no.
And you can see this duty or responsibility laid out in
scriptures. Okay. Clearly,
clearly, clearly. I was reading my Bible, as in the Koran
yesterday, as I was leafing through it,
beginning in Genesis, I'm sorry, I mean,
he's gonna bring a Genesis, the Old Testament, Old Testament, so
it shouldn't be a winner.
And Muslim majority countries are among the most vulnerable.
Because some Genesis doesn't give any scripture say they just
said Genesis, Muslim majority countries, just listen to them,
our response to this challenge or to be rooted in a sense of
stewardship of Earth. And for me, and for many of us here
today, that responsibility comes from God.
That's right. That responsibility comes from God.
You have a job, the Almighty.
What is he
angling for here? Just trying to get the Christian I guess, I
guess, Muslims on board are and trying to get on board and they
seem to get anything to get people to believe in the next
report from the IPCC. Then he and this is my final bit. This
has now happened in Europe. There was an article that I
read, that was complaint, I think, I think it was Grand Duke
Stephen Pels. mockers who sent me this that a Belgian
newscaster or someone related to the newscast was complaining
that the government or the climate change faction of
whoever's in charge of of that scam in Belgium, had requested a
perhaps forced the newscaster, a famous newscaster to record a
newscast as if it is 2050. The end, of course, the whole planet
is on fire and we're flooded and everything's underwater, and
we're all dying from the climate change. And remember, 23rd of
September is when we have this new this new global climate
change conference called out by Bunky moon and then Christine
Lagarde with her with her scarf, which a panache which, of course
is about the monetary aspects of everything. So they're the ones
running this turns out the final product. It has newscasters from
all over the world well known voices in multiple languages,
and they have all been forced asked, etc to do this for this
and then and then you clip from that. Well, they have they've
put together
a commercial about climate change.
Miami, South Beach is underwater in the Middle East and
the tide is going to come up to about here the temperature is
expected to why 11 is live and this
heatwave has now entered the second week, the mega drought in
Arizona has claimed another casualty.
So if you do this, you are engaging in the lowest most
disgusting, despicable form of propaganda
known to man. And I'm outraged
if you cannot take people who are news personalities who you
are supposed to be able to trust and make them say things that
are if not only true, but not fiction. But fiction is fiction,
the fiction of the in the future. 2050 is 35 years away
from now. We have no idea. Other than that, oops, I'm sorry, if
the Earth is not warmed for 16 years, that is universally
recognized by the scientists to do this, even in the ramp up to
this climate change conference.
Yeah, what was it? What's the word I'm learning
to use for this? It's unconscionable on cars.
Very good. We're unconscionable. I like that. I'll take that as
the word of that we need unconscionable.
And thank you, Baron, or good Grand Duke. I'm sorry. Yeah,
grand you're doing that? Because that's, that is a disgusting
little segment there you put together? Yes.
How happy are you with that?
Just a head shaker.
And that's where we're at. We are the guardians of reality. We
attempt to dissect as much as we can. It's even hard for us
sometimes. But we really do. Try to bring it for you. And I think
we've
we also use the hive mind.
Is that good? Yeah. The hive mind is that a good thing for us
to do?
Is for US intelligence networks, they say it, which is another
way of putting it.
And the the intelligence network is vast, and very, very, very
sophisticated. So I'm
blackbox information to come out then I'll give us something to
talk about. They're never going to reveal it. It's not going to
happen.
I don't think so either. There's no good reason to reveal it that
would only create problems.
Job that necessary job has been completed Exactly.
Well, coming to you from the Wi Fi enabled canal house of the
pipe in the middle of Amsterdam for the last time, everybody in
the morning. I am Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I have nothing
