Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak. Thursday, September 11 2014. Time for your
Gitmo nation media assassination episode 651.
This is no agenda
back at home base in Austin, Texas preparing for ISIL to
cross the border into FEMA Region six in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry,
from Northern Silicon Valley words garbage day and ISIL is
already here. I'm John C. Dvorak. Buzzkill.
In fact, I believe the garbagemen are ISIL. Yes, they
are. They are merely posing as him as sanitation engineers.
Yes. Well, they're out there now taking cans.
Very good. John Claude, I'm back.
Back. It's it's all it's all automated to you. They get these
big trucks, they grab the thing and throw it on the big picture.
In the olden days. It was different. They are back
I am back. And I had a nice journey back and this is what we
will all want to hear. Yes, I understand. And you can begin
Okay, first I need to let you know that. I picked up some kind
of bug on one of the flights and I I am ill. I've actually I'm
okay now but I went to bed at 930 Latin Yeah, like 930 Last
night with a high fever. Just all of it came over me just and
I was in my body started to ache and I had chills and and I woke
up around six again. With with the just just shivering.
On the plane. Yeah, some douche.
Germs walk around in that recycled air. And they say hey,
look at this douche bag. He looks tired. Jump on him. John,
I think I'll be okay though. All right, so leaving this is
usually there's enough room in first class that you don't have
so much of a problem.
Sorry. Why? You say first class. You weren't in first class? No.
No, they don't I don't even KLM has downgraded me because I
don't fly enough. I used to have a gold than it was silver would
upgrade you. Oh, this is your miles and now I am. What is it?
They have a really horrible level. It's
Oh, yeah, they all these airlines have done that they
lure you in with promises and then when you get to the sorry
we raised it. Well, you how can you raise it on me? Don't you
just read read the Terms of Service we can raise it whenever
we feel like
I'm trying to think what was the the chat room may know what was
their lowest level is? Do douche bag No. Well at that is that
it's the equivalent of a douche bag, but it has a sound. Oh man.
I'm kidding. I should have written it down. No, it's not
silver. It's below silver. It's like tin. No, it's not lead.
Forget about it. Someone look it up on the website. People now
it's not silver. It's not aluminium,
aluminium. I'm on the aluminium level of kale.
Just go to the website and look it up instead of everyone.
Nobody else. Yes. Anyway, go on with. So so I had to so I had to
pay for my extra suitcase because I had to take all this
stuff back all of my presents. I had to buy a second suitcase and
I've even snuck the Cuban cigars in which it was given to me. I
read there you go. Avery,
did you take the little rings off? Just in case? No. I
just left it in the box. Oh, really? The box with a box and
the stamp and? Yeah, it says Cohiba from Cuba right on the
box. Oh,
the Cohiba. Somebody gave you those Yeah, my buddy. Wow,
that's an expensive gift. Yeah, it is. It is like $20
Each I know it's a very nice gift. Okay, so going through
Schiphol Airport. First of all I love when you just arrived at
the airport and you look at your Wi Fi device seeing as I don't
have a smartphone, and you just see the N A secret network pop
up. It just makes it feel super good. A secret feel like because
it automatically reconnects you so you haven't been there for a
year and there it is. It's all working beautiful. So they had
to slave scanners. And the way it works. It's people airport is
you go through security at the gate. And I'm like yeah, of
course global my trusted Global Entry Trusted Traveler. There's
nothing outside of the United States. But I said hey, can I
have an opt out? And it was it was interesting because the guy
I said it in English. And I think I said it in Dutch ma can
opt out. So it was half Dutch half English. And he really got
in my face. Oh, this apostate dead boss, which means Can I
pass Can I take a pass on going through? So I'm sorry man. I
didn't know the word for it. I'm American. And he immediately
apologized. But he was really irked for a moment. And in and
he said, you know, why can I ask you why? I said, I don't like
the machines because of radiations No, I just don't like
the machine. I don't like it. I want to go through it. And he
said, Okay, so I pass now you don't even go to the
magnetometer.
Okay? They just walk into a bunch of grief and then just
says that he just buckled. Yes.
And then you walk right past the bag, not through right past it.
Why don't
they put you through the magnetometer. This is the
security theater that is everywhere. And I get a pat
down. And now Now the people just how the crotch bomber got
on board, and he didn't touch my crotch. I would have remembered
the fact I said, Oh, this is my free massage. And he was like,
yeah. And after he was done, he said, Did you like it? I said,
Yeah, I said, you can tip me. The guy had humor that they said
they did not ask about my microphone at all the entire big
bag full of wires and transmitters. And so isn't that
Tronic? Me too. But I did have to turn on all of my devices. I
had to show that I have two laptops that show that they
turned on.
So that's a new thing. Yeah, well, it's a necky. harkens back
to the Yes, yes, I recall that. And by the way, how many laptops
have ever exploded? Please, stupid.
So I was flying back via JFK, where I would land first and
then get on the
says a douche Bay airport.
Well, this, I have to say, America is a great country. As
long as you're rich, as long as you have 140 bucks. Let me tell
you about the Global Entry experience. This was hilarious.
So you walk out. And then there's three lanes down to
customs. One is visitors. The second one is US citizens. And
then there's a third one which says Global Entry diplomats and
sin VIPs. And you just zip down this light you're passing goons
as right by everybody down at the bottom turn left and there's
five kiosks. I walk up. I put my passport in. And it immediately
says it has it sounds like pretty like boop boop. And then
you and it says okay, you have to answer these questions, which
is your customers questions and there's a button to say no to
all this is the you know, you bring it in fruits plan, say
notes.
Yeah, you brings all selected, then it says okay, I need your
your fingerprints. If there's one of those red glass,
plexiglass thingies Yeah. So I put my four fingers on it. And
I'm telling you, I'm looking at it. And it's the graphics. I
should have recorded this on video, the graphics went fast.
We're really cool. You see what it's like, like Minority Report.
You see all of a sudden, it's a little squares around my
fingers. And then the left one. It says no finger present, like,
dude, this isn't my fingers. President it's on here. And then
a split second. It took my picture. But I'm you know, six
foot four. And I didn't I didn't crouch down or anything. And I
didn't position myself in front of the camera. So got my chin.
That was the facial recognition, I've guess and it got my chin
and it prints out a receipt and says you're good to go.
It just shot a picture of your chin and you're good to go.
If you go to my Twitter stream. I should have put this on a
separate URL. Sorry. Go to twitter.com/adam curry. And I
posted a picture of it. How did you get a copy of it? I took a
picture. I took a picture right there.
of your
of your picture. Yeah, if you go down. That's right on me and
Mickey and me kissing.
Mickey, you're posting pictures of you kissing?
Yes. Well, she posted it and I retweeted it. Course.
You retweeted it. Okay,
I just want you to see this receipt that I received.
Are you there? Yeah. And I'm what I'm trying to get. Yeah,
it's not that easy. Because it microphones in the way of the
key. Whoa. Oh, wow. It's a very difficult situation. Need a
different life now? No agenda stream. Oh, which reminds me
down, down, down. Go down. Just don't get sidetracked.
Oh, I want to get a check. Because I need to retweet. Oh,
yeah. There's a picture the two of you kissing? Sweet? Yeah,
right below. Hell yeah. spinning hard. I don't know where you got
that.
Click on the picture of my receipt underneath it.
The revolving heart showed this receipt it received Kim clicking
on
it. And the tweet says Global Entry test completed. Now it's
more on your chin. It's got your nose or your mouth pleased. I
can see the thing, figuring it out.
Oh, John, this is an empty box. I don't give up. It wasn't it
didn't check my fingerprints against the database in a
nanosecond. No way. This is Bowles. Highly unlikely. And so
this is a two minute process. US and fantastic Wait It Gets
Better second
commercial for the we should be charging them money to be doing
this report I think like dozens of people now pay the $140
so then I'm gonna walk to towards the baggage claim so
right now in parallel to all of the Customs Border Patrol
officers little kiosks and there's a dude to the left kind
of slouched against the wall any and I had I didn't I didn't even
show him the ticket the receipt he went on good them and I was
it and then the baggage claim
that was hitting your baggage claim. Did you take this? And
what about what happened to this receipt?
That Oh, you hand it off when you leave the airport? You give
it to the to the guy who asked if you have anything to declare
again? And then you're then you're out.
So you never go to one of the boxes where there's no you walk
straight past that. Nobody ever stamps your passport?
No, no, Bob American passport that I don't think they stamp it
anyway When Usa used to. And that was it. Good to go. And of
course I had to transfer and this was interesting. I transfer
so because my tickets were printed my boarding pass was
printed in Amsterdam. It didn't have a precheck on it, but I
figured I would just use my my global entry card which is a
trusted traveler. Right so the transfer security which you
don't you barely come in I don't think you've come in contact
with the outside world
but okay, I know they make you go through everything again even
though you never really leave to anything you're still in the
confines of the secure area
right and there was one magnetometer with with 2x Ray
machines left and right and X ray machines at that they took
those out for their for your bags, your bag X ray machine. Oh
yeah, not body. This is magnetom in the middle. And then the guy
says precheck precheck. So yeah, I'm pre check in said which belt
to it doesn't matter. Okay, so put my stuff on. And then I walk
up to him. He's on the other side of the magnetometer he says
that you don't have pre check. It's him. This is my trust if
you don't have pre check. Okay, just take off your shoes. And
that was the only difference I did take off my shoes, and then
go through again. completely idiotic, is totally and I cannot
wait until Miss Mickey comes back and sails through this as
well, which we know will prove that there is absolutely no
correlation on the backend between these databases. Because
she has this flag which no one has spoken about throughout this
entire process. She was approved immediately. So I don't know
what I think it's just an empty box. John. It's completely
disassociated from anything else. And it's fantastic.
Sounds great.
Um, besides that I'm I'm in another database Other than
that, it's it's really I'm really enjoying it
as I just picture of you it's ludicrous. The Yeah, looks like
him.
The the fingerprint scanner was I need to record this on. On
video next. I think our next trip will be to Panama in
November. Event, Panama. Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna do
Panama. Come on, man.
find someplace where there's some some good fiber optics and
park yourself there.
Yeah, but we're also going to go visit indigenous tribes.
They don't usually have good internet and indigenous tribes.
They can't eat you.
Yeah, exactly.
We're going to look like a month's worth of food.
Oh, boy.
Okay. Yeah, I'm really worried about the negative feedback I'm
gonna get from that comment from all our Panamanian
listeners in Panama
one, I think it's an expat. Yeah. So that's, I was
thinking before we get to some of the obvious things. There was
a lot of, of course, the tech industry went nuts about the
Apple Keynote and the Apple Watch. But I have not seen a
single critical evaluation of the presentation itself and a
number of things which I found to be very surprising, which no
one has said anything about really, you didn't read my
column and PC Magazine? Oh, no, I'm sorry. No, I haven't read it
so much. Well, I don't know you
you have a whole thesis and then you just screwed up or heck, I'm
sorry. I'm not gonna read his obviously he's gonna write a
column about this.
Well, tell me what did you write? Just give me your number.
I can't remember from one minute
to the next round and I'm on to the next. Okay. But it was about
what you're going to talk about. I'm absolutely convinced of
it. Well, I On the rebranding of AI to Apple is exactly
I talked about that to that.
What do you think? I mean, I think this is very dangerous.
No, I think it was a very smart move. And I said, so I think
it's hard people are not picking up on it.
It's just started. It's going to take a couple of years to move
people over. Why would they do this? They do. Here's the what I
talked about if you'd read the column, I didn't
read it, we get it we should rub it in. If you don't even read my
emails, let alone a column I would write well, there's that.
The point is, is that Apple can't deal with this i this i
that I decided that because they get there's these douchebags out
there they go register these names, I every copyright stuff
is a disaster. And then they can also deal with Apple Watch. And
by the way, I said that was should be called the a watch.
And when they green the garden tools, they can have the a hose
Whoa, yo. So okay, so they so they weren't they they're sure
that the use of the Apple logo
that is challenging, I found it on the Mac.
It's a little bit like Prince, but at the same time, there's no
way anybody is going to steal this the low name because the
logo is obviously mean, it's apple. So as Apple Watch is
going to be Apple phone, they're going to you with
Apple phone, so you are the only one that I picked it up
immediately. I'm like, wow, okay, and this Option Shift K,
on the Mac, you get the little
apple logo with the Mac what happened? Of course,
of course, just a few things about the this was the first
presentation that was a big one without jobs and all of this. I
thought 10 Tom Collins, whatever his name is. I thought his
performance was strong.
It was better than usual.
I don't know about the waving like he's the like, he's the
queen of Silicon Valley. That was a little much. And I love
how they position the iPhone as the best phone of all just the
best phone on the planet in the universe. Yeah, not a single
time with the word smartphone use. I thought that was very,
there's no reason to know. Phil Schiller. He has to up his game.
He was boring. My God. He was boring.
I don't remember him because I think it fell asleep.
Well, he was he presented the iPhone sixes and iOS. And he was
just boring. And then they brought on some gamer dudes. How
stupid was this?
What about the gal comes out with it with the shirt? The
wrinkled shirt, the wrinkled pink shirt and open collar and
he's like up change. He looked like a mobster.
Did I miss that? Was that at the very end?
No, it was right in the middle. So mobster guy comes out. Hey.
Well, Edie Q who used to be the iTunes guy is now he was doing
the presentation of Apple Pay. Yeah, I
think that was him. Eddie Q Well, it comes out the wrinkled
shirt. Yeah, the wrinkles are tucked in. And then some say no,
you can't even tucked in shirt. You're in Silicon Valley, dude.
And so they pulls the shirt out. So it's all wrinkled at the
bottom like a shirt that was tucked in?
Yes. And it was pink. And it was pink. Very This is wrong.
No, no, they these people need style as they need to come in. I
mean, this is dumb. And that seen this? Yet? It's just like
Microsoft in this new guy he wears the stupid is stuff.
And then a four minute standing ovation for the Apple Watch
video. People. I was at this point,
we're doing tech news right away. We might as well go on
with I mean, we're just you know, two guys. But if we
actually paid much attention to the mainstream media, we'd get
reports like this one on Fox News. The five where they were
they not only discussed some of this stuff, but they managed to
point out in the way that I've been recommending that Samsung
stinks. Obviously they're not advertising.
That was the legendary YouTube helping Apple celebrate the
launch enough with
YouTube already. Hello, Tom Collins, Tim Collins cook. It's
2014. There are hyper bands
of the iPhone six today and also the Apple Watch. Out in
Cupertino, California. The company unveiled two new phones,
the six with a 4.7 inch screen and the six plus with a 5.5. It
also designed a new wearable device called the Apple Watch
that can supposedly do all kinds of cool things. Kimberly, why
are we so obsessed with Apple? Why do we want to know when
everything is coming out?
Apples are fun, and tasty and good devices. I love it. I mean,
I'm a big convert to Apple. I even recently just tried the
Samsung thing, but I've never now the psyche. I don't know
why people still care about it. It's a store. There's no reason
to camp out.
I think it's so good. It's user friendly. You've got your little
iPads, you got your iPhone, you've got your iMac. It's just
the Apple Watch a family shot of this. Is that true? Look at it.
How did you get That's great. Oh, that's a rubber band.
Okay, yeah, yeah, go that is tech news people.
And it was at this point that I realized how horrible this is
really going to be from this point on. Because the masses are
so much mind controlled, they are going willingly into this
wearables thing. And I have to say, I think it will be
successful. And, of course, you have to have the iPhone six this
all makes total sense that they're doing
it's like a joke. Now here's the let me ask you this rhetorical
question. When I think it was rim or one of these operations
had BlackBerry there was the BlackBerry guys, they brought
out a tablet that required to to use to actually use the tablet
you had to have a Blackberry phone. It was a big star big
stick all right. Hugging you make a buy this and then they
have to have that that's ridiculous that you'd have to
think should stand. What now we got this stupid watch. And you
have to have an iPhone six to use the watch. The watch does
not work without the iPhone six on you know, exactly. But nobody
says oh, that's a great idea. Only Apple would be such a
genius to think of such a thing. I know.
John, I'm telling you, this is a sickness, it is a sickness. It
is a sickness people are so and this has been building for a
long time. And it is a sickness one
and that all the time. But the oldest elements cracks me up
because I think you're right
when I was traveling, because I don't have a smartphone. I was
observing the United States and I'm not going to play pay
boring, go bowling go whatever the five bucks for 30 minutes
Bomi. I don't need to see my email. So I'm watching and it's
women, John is primarily women. And you sit down, I got my
shades on. So I'm looking at the corner of my eye. And there was
there was one woman she's in the airport, she's on the phone. And
she's you know, she's got her the earbuds in. She's on her
iPhone five. And I see that she's talking on the phone, and
then she punches while she's talking punches to Facebook,
she's scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, and here, this is
what the women do very particular, they'll see a
picture pop the tap and then they they zoom in to look at
someone's face does zooming and they're observing every single
person in the picture on the tablet back at this was just she
was talking and looking at these pictures and zooming in and she
said this is I believe the nice i i wish i could express my my
grief more clearly. We are in a position right this
international international health crisis. And you have
people that no I think that primarily this is a war if
there's ever a war on women, it's the smartphone. And there
is something about the the female brain that that that I
think it's evolution. And we talked a bit about the you know
the culture of fashion and then self image. It is so perfect.
And for all of this to be going on. There was not a single woman
on the Apple stage. I found that very peculiar
Nice catch,
not a single woman I couldn't pop that in the collar would
have been a gem that they had the product manager of the Apple
Watch demo this the one
but that was a by these demos. They finally got a clue and they
stopped doing them. That was so much beat there's no way that
where's the watch have a connection to a giant screen?
I asked you Yeah, and a lot of gay overtones in that in the way
he would that was like what gay overtones and undertones what
the way this guy was talking the things he was saying was a lot
of gayness in his in his in his presentation. So I'm excited.
I'm telling you I'm extremely worried now that this disproves
it. This proves that the illness is here, the illness is real.
Everyone will go for this ugly ass watch and the 349 the 349 is
that's where the cheap Jack That's the cheap jabroni version
of the plastic band, you're gonna have the rich kids of
Instagram and all these douchebags will have the big 18
karat Weeki Wachee 1000s of dollars. That it's it is and
they're going to love it. The Enyo before you know it, I can
predict right now, the same douchebags will get into their
Tesla. And it will not start because the Apple Watch has
noticed their blood alcohol level is too high. And if that's
the that's the end game, yes. And as communicated this on the
other hand, it will also order a Google car for you so you don't
have to drive at all. But this is yeah,
that's the good
side. But no, there's none of this Is
good no it's good. Yeah, this is good. That's all the work for
you don't think none of this is good just spend more time on
Facebook.
Sick sickness. I tell so I'm
listening to this fox report by the way it goes on and on. Yeah.
And and Guilfoyle, which is the leggy X, that woman at the
beginning of that clip that we played, you have to remember
when she's giddy and she's acting like an idiot and she's
talking about can't use the Samsung and all the rest of it.
You have to listen to her voice with it in mind. I almost
recommend playing the beginning of that again, with it in mind
that she was the District Attorney of San Francisco. Let's
listen.
That was the legendary YouTube helping Apple celebrate the
launch of the iPhone six today and also the Apple Watch. Out in
Cupertino, California. The company unveiled two new phones,
the six with a 4.7 inch screen and the six plus with a 5.5. It
also designed a new wearable device called the Apple Watch
that can supposedly do all kinds of cool things. So Kimberly, why
are we so obsessed? Kimberly Guilfoyle, is that who it is?
Yes, with Apple. Why do we want to know when everything is
coming out? Apples are fun.
She is sick, John, she has the sickness.
Yes, I think you're right.
We need to coin a phrase.
tasty and good devices,
good devices. And now it can vibrate on my arm. With taptic
repeat back. We need to coin this burning. I love it. I love
it. I
mean, I'm a big convert to Apple. I even recently just
tried the Samsung thing. But I've never now the psychiatric
people still can't hardest to store. There's no reason to camp
out. I think it's so good. It's user friendly. You've got your
little iPads. You got your iPhone,
and she's also just talking complete baloney. She's bleed
senseless.
This totally sends the word we
senseless. We need to coin this illness. We need to give it a
name.
Yeah, yeah, actually, that would be great. Yeah, let's work on
that over the next few weeks. You're right, I think it'd be a
great if we can name this and we can then we can mock people
easier.
Once you can name the disease, it's easier to mock people.
Yes, indeed it is. Well,
everybody was at the event and that was being streamed in the
stream. Of course, my column was really about how Apple How can
you trust a company that can't even stream and the funny thing
is, the streaming part was only available to certain people that
had a Macintosh or this was not a worldwide stream, you had to
have sent out to everybody. If you had a Windows machine, you
could not get the stream. I think we're just now I think if
you use Safari, you can no no, no, no, no. Okay, no, well, I
bet it if you were on the Apple site, it says very specifically
the the operating system on a Macintosh or this operating
system on a Macintosh and I had Safari and I use the US did and
I on the bonnet PC, I couldn't get I had to use them. So it
was it was really wonderful to land in New York. And I think I
landed around 330 Then then transmitted to the to my flight,
which only left an hour and a half later. And because I didn't
have any Wi Fi I did not get any news of the products of the
launch of anything. And you know what, my world was just fine.
Everything was great. There was I was not I didn't feel bad that
I had missed it. But I didn't feel anything just I didn't I so
don't care. I'm telling I'm gonna shut up about it. But
there is this is an illness. And I don't even think the people
who make this stuff really know how exploitive they can be.
They're just figuring it out. Yeah. And they're doing very
well for themselves, particularly for women. We need
to we need to protect our women.
Well, nobody's protecting them from this bull crap,
horror. It really is horror. I agree. It's and
Facebook is also in the same league. They go
together together. They are really the they are it's
Pavlovian, but it's
so that's why the Facebook on a smartphone is the world's worst
combination. Yeah, yeah. You spotted this right away. Yeah.
It's, it's, it's about we need to come up with a name. We will
come up with a name for this. Okay. I think that's it for tech
news. And I guess no more tech news for a while because there's
no phones coming out.
Wait a minute. I think they had some other tech news now. But
since we're gonna do 10 minutes by the finish this 11%.
Well, hold on a second, then I need to slow the one on here.
Then I need to wait.
There is we need to talk. Well, we could let's get you through
New York first. And so we get into that store and then we do
we have to discuss a little bit about the internet slow down.
Yes,
we did well, so I'll just finish up. Get on the plane, then one I
booked this ticket. I want to get economy comfort and for the
legroom, then the whole plane was full. And I couldn't Yeah,
you
know, this is another problem. This, I'm actually surprised it
took so long for them to do this. But once they, once they
get the computer scheduling down, or all the rest of it,
they can pack all the planes now, but it was rare to find it
but
then I get on the plane and it's half full. And there are tons of
seats open and economy comfort. And I'm sitting in the row 16 Or
whatever. And then the stewardess, I'm sorry, Kevin
attended says, if you'd like to upgrade to economy comfort,
just, you know, tell us and we'll upgrade you right here.
And oh, wait, hold on. It's I'd never heard this before. I've
never heard this before. And this is delta. So I walk up to
the front of, hey, I want to upgrade. And you know, it's like
60 bucks or whatever. And she said, Okay, well, this guy here
can do it. And he was ground staff. And then one other woman
went, Yeah, no, this is an on demand on time departure. We
can't do this. I'm not gonna. And then the other Cabinet and
the one I originally spoke to, but once you choose, your seat
will come and charge a later never happened. Good, perfect.
This is the way to go. Because they'll bureaucracy, they can't
get their act together. I had no idea how to didn't know they had
no forms. They don't know how to charge me but she said it.
Legos.
Let me just in play. It's definitely in play. Yes, it's in
play, but they just don't have the mechanisms not working.
Because of douchebags like that. Obviously that rush, rush rush
girl, because they always get the care about their numbers.
You know, gotta get that thing to leave the gate within, you
know, a minute.
There is some validity to it. Well, yeah. The so yesterday,
which I think is probably the worst timing for any kind of
promotional activity between the an Apple event and a terrorist
event. Right,
today. 911 Congratulations. Yes. Hey, congratulations.
Happy 911 John,
happy 911 Adam.
When are we going to stop doing how long did we celebrate Pearl
Harbor Day because we don't do a ceremony
war for a while it was alive it was a little different okay it
wasn't everything wasn't bogus
so I kept receiving emails from the from the mean just almost
the slowdown the internet people
which I find interesting that the slowdown the internet people
were all political they're all left wing very liberal or
progressives progressives most democracy now was was all over
this they did a segment after segment about how good important
this was.
Let me just read them one of these emails because this is
kind of what what got me going. Today's at Hey, dear battle for
the net supporters. This is from fight for the future.org battle
for the net we've we've traced back their financing goes three
levels deep into very rich pockets of family foundations,
which we can't track really where that's coming from.
Today's the day to take action now to save net neutrality.
Today is the day you can cruise around the internet and see so
much emphasis so many sites, some of the biggest sites in the
world doing amazing creative things to protect net neutrality
and the internet we love. Will you sign our letter to Congress
and the FCC and make a few phone calls yourself, click here.
Check out Netflix, Vimeo, Upworthy, and your Tumblr and
your Tumblr account. For starters, the list is too long
to fit here. Our stats show over 9000 sites running one of the
internet slow down widgets. Right now the important thing is
it's working thanks to people's generous donations on Publish
thanks to people's generous donations. That's how they
measure they're working. Our servers are holding up. And
we're connected. And we've connected over 40,000 phone
calls to Congress in the White House just this morning. That's
not even counting other sites like Tumblr, and most of all,
spread the word it's not too late to participate. So this is
it very, very disturbing eff on their homepage also have this
bullcrap slow down the net. And so I believe that these this
fight for the future outfit that they they are most likely
financed by Comcast Time Warner, because they you know, they they
are giving but effectively they're giving Comcast Time
Warner what they want by trying to get net neutrality in Section
706
and turn it into a commentary
interpreted in a certain way. So The Internet become becomes a
common carrier. Yes,
yes. And ISPs become the common carrier. And I
think that that only behooves Comcast, etc. and Time Warner
I think it does, too. I think other people that have blocks
everyone had the debate.
Yeah, no one no one wants no one wants to sign phone companies.
And no one wants to become a wants to compete to become a
commodity utility, who wants to use your margins eventually get
set in stones.
And the other thing we always have to remember that the FCC is
dominated by industry, what happens is Comcast dominates the
FCC, and they make rules that benefit them. That would include
the stuff they've already been doing on the side in many states
where that prohibits municipalities from setting up
their own internet services in the areas that are underserved
by Comcast and AT and T and the rest of them. Those are been
prohibited in 20 states, which is an outrage, I think, an
outrage, rally and outrage. But it's expensive for them to do it
state by state when they could do it nationally. So you run the
FCC, you don't have to spend all that money, you have to do state
by state to screw anyone who wants to compete with you, which
is what they've been doing. But now that is government now that
is centrally located now it's all done by edict by that the
FCC level, think of the money you save.
So let me read eff statement. And I'm so disappointed. These
are lawyers, they should they should the lawyers, they should
know what is going to happen, which we'll get to in a moment.
From their page with their slowdown, you know, the net
neutrality conversation is breaking new ground, but even
the porn sites are weighing in. And that's just what we're
seeing major adult platforms Pornhub and Red Two, but joining
an online protest, calling for stronger protections for net
neutrality to serve them right when they're out of business.
So I got a lot of feedback on the question, what is the
difference between illegal and unlawful, then I need to preface
this by saying that in every version of the rules that are
proposed, and also in the version of the rules, which is
almost identical, that were proposed by the mayors of
America, whatever that association is called, we also
dissected that document on the show. There is continuous talk.
And I think I might even had let me just see, I think I have the
onus shook and to the new. I thought I had a version of the
text but doesn't really matter. The what you will, if you just
pull this up, I have a link in the show notes. It continuously
states throughout the document that so they have the all
packets will be created equal bullcrap can't even have it
doesn't matter. But here's the here's the worrisome thing and
people you must listen to this. This is this is the beginning of
the end, if this gets through, where ISPs are forbidden from
slowing down or blocking any lawful content or lawful network
traffic, very important to to understand that network traffic
doesn't even have to do with the content. This can be just
determined that, oh, I don't know. Certain types of packets
just are will be considered or certain types of protocols may
be deemed unlawful. And what is the difference between illegal
and unlawful? I have a number of explanations. And I really like
this one. So Black's Law Dictionary defines unlawful
excuse me, as flu unlawful was, yeah, I do. Unlawful is not
authorized by law. Illegal is forbidden by law. So
semantically, there's a slight difference that I had that
here's some examples. jaywalking is an unlawful act, because
traffic regulations do not typically say you can't walk
diagonally through an intersection. So it's not
illegal, that is unlawful. traffic regulations typically
provide you can cross within the crosswalk, etc. Selling cocaine
is illegal. That's that's an actual offense. So, it is very
similar to if you get on a train somewhere and it says it is
unlawful to eat or play music in this train, you can get into
real trouble but it's not illegal in the universe to eat,
even on a train really. So this will give tips by specifically
using the word unlawful instead of illegal, we will be able to
ban hate speech, which of course is a complete violation of the
of almost any constitution in the world. But certainly, the
United States Constitution you can bet anti bullying. So if
your bullying would be seen as unlawful, there are some places
where the it certainly is not specifically allowed. And this
is what what will happen if and no one is covering this angle of
it that I know of I've not heard a single EFF, an organization of
lawyers that are not parsing what this will mean. I don't
understand it must be part of the the iPhone, the Facebook
sickness. How can people not see but this will regulate the
actual content? And even protocol possibly of network
traffic on the internet? How can they find say that's okay, just
because they want someone to have a better cooler service
than Netflix? Do you kidding? It's disturbing.
That's weird. I have been you know, the sickness thing is
interesting, because we thank you. The sickness thing is
interesting, because it, it, it's just not at this level it
is. I mean, it's all over. It's all over the place with this
lockstep acceptance of anything that global warming is a really
good example of this. I mean, you have these two sides of an
argument one says the
oceans are very similar. It's very similar.
They're going to be 10 feet. And it all stems from the old and
oddly enough, it began maybe in the 70s with the as they started
training people, but for some reason, with the new
technologies, and maybe the acceptance of these
technologies, you may actually be determining that the
technologies are creating the sickness, but the sickness may
have been there. And that's what's made that technology so
acceptable. I mean, that's a possibility. It's human.
I think it's human DNA and conditioning of our brain over
well, decades. We had to have to be back 60 years earlier,
earlier, Madeline's
control, but let's go to the 70s population, and everybody was
all in all in on population control at this point that we're
going to all die by the year 2000. Because of population
problems. Splosion population explosion, I play let's play the
clip from this different Democracy Now. And this is their
their lame take on the internet speed up situation. Or internet
slow down? I'm sorry. Okay, got it.
That discrimination, and today is a culmination of a lot of
that effort.
How many? How many organizations or websites? Do you have
participating in today's and who's
asking the questions? That's not a me?
No, that's that that stranger? Did I look in? Latino woman?
Who's she sound? She's almost sounds British.
Yeah, she's got one of those affected voices. I don't think
she is British. But this is the guy who's the head of the
whatever that group was, you're just take back the net
to net slow down.
Well, we all know, by the end of the day, I can tell you right
now that there are hundreds of tech companies, advocacy
organizations, and websites that are displaying, as you call it,
the spinning wheel of death. And so but, but it's important to
that the internet will not be slowing down. And as a result of
that, although one website might slow down and that is the
website of the Federal Communications Commission, which
will be receiving a lot of the activism and the last time we
had a moment like this was in mid July, when there were a lot
of people commenting that their website and in fact crashed.
We're not we don't want to crash the FCC website today. We want
comments to come in, Dick. We want them to receive them. We
want them to listen to them, and we want them to listen to the
overwhelming consensus among the public. That real net net
neutrality protections are needed.
Netflix spokesperson Anne Marie scale issued a statement
confirming the site will display the spinning icon on its
homepage today she said quote consumers not broadband
gatekeepers should pick the winners and losers on the
intranet strong net neutrality rules are needed to stop
internet service providers from demanding extra fees or slowing
delivery of content to consumers who already have paid for
internet access. I
love how they successfully turn it around from fast lanes to
slowing other things down this is this is brilliant the way
they've done that which is was never the conversation.
I know I find this fascinating myself which is the the exactly
you explained it perfectly. We have changed the other thing
didn't work as well as planned because Fastlane slave it just
was too confusing. This is better because this is this
you know everyone knows slow everyone understands slow Yeah,
they don't understand. The other thing the fast lane slow lane
was confusing because Comcast for example, would have a
business Excel your fast line. Yeah, 100 plus megabits per
second or you can buy a home service for 50 or whatever. And
people would say what she did, people are already paying Paying
for the fast lane. If you get a bit to do, what about my phone,
I had desert effect. It's what wasn't working at some cerebral
level, it wasn't working, this works better.
Now, this is very interesting that Netflix is one of those
participating because Netflix really highlighted the coasts
for so many as they do.
Because just because could not because because this isn't on
the part of the sickness, I have some more examples of that. And
I also I'm guilty of it, I say member sometimes instead of
remember. Net, because you've listened to because because it's
not professional slowing
delivery of content to consumers who already have paid for
internet access. Now, Tim, this is very interesting that Netflix
is one of those participating because Netflix COEs because
really highlighted the problem for so many is they made a deal
to have fought faster to be on one of those fast lanes and
paying Comcast so that Netflix can stream more easily.
Yes, and it's a very good illustration of the type of
companies that are that are
tougher, say Netflix or green, or paid for a peering
arrangement because Comcast wasn't going to put their Net
Flix appliances on stream like everybody else has done. So they
made a special arrangement to get peering, right. There's no
fast lane, slow lane involved here. It's just the connections
changed.
But I think you and I can agree this has nothing to do with
that. This is all about
I just want to make sure that we the technically that we know, I
just want to make it clear that technically these people are
completely out out of it.
Let me give you the world. These people have no idea what they're
talking about from our global intelligence network. Voice
zero, says oh, here's some examples of unlawful network
traffic, the mesh networking, peer to peer and even things
like multi casting any casting. The ipv6 has versions of this.
If there's a technical analyst anywhere in the world, who has I
challenged the EFF, I challenged the lawyers at the EFF to write
an opinion statement on the rules about unlawful content and
unlawful network traffic and try and explain your way out of that
what is more important technically, and from a legal
standpoint, you should you should shun eff if they do never
give money to these people again these are frauds if they do not
see this they are frauds
they're so all in on this it's this again is it's almost
baffling to witness it and the net neutrality thing with all
these people that come in with zero understanding of the way
anything works, but
it's the same people who are doing phone talk. Oh, this is a
watch and this net neutrality for women I have to say on force
a lot of them are women too, which pisses me off.
Well, no see too many women. Oh, okay. Jump into drum for net
neutrality, but okay,
I Okay, I see it. Okay.
Let's finish protesting the FCC plan. Comcast, for example, has
a competing business with Netflix they provide us with
cable television. So it is in their interest as an Internet
service provider to slow websites like like Netflix, but
it's not just large companies
so not in their interest that would be blatantly anti
competitive. And there plenty of laws to deal with that bowl
crazy like
Netflix that are participating there. There Vimeo, which is a
great video streaming website that a lot of documentary
filmmakers use et Cie, which connects artisans and
craftspeople with their customers.
By the way, people should not go to Etsy after they pulled this
stunt. I want to clear another thing up just a technical
detail, which is that Comcast, I don't know if anybody has
Comcast, they knows one thing for sure. It's very difficult to
get internet only because for the same price, you can get
their cable right. So that's not a competitive issue. That
competitive issue technically, if you talk to people about
about these Netflix appliances, which is what this is really
about at some level, and we're all defending Netflix, because
it's the most important thing in the world is the is that Comcast
has a video on demand service that is similar to Netflix, and
that's what the competitive thing is. And they are pretty
much giving it priority over Netflix for non competitive
reasons. But there's other ways of going about dealing with
that. It's got nothing to do with a cable TV that I can
assure you
look, this is about the merger between Time Warner and Comcast.
We've played their commercials you're going to have a freer,
more open, more reliable internet. This this initially
really started I think with this to get this merger through then
how, you know, if you combine it all it's all one big utility
then it's everything's groovy. And then all this unlawful
content and network traffic started showed up in the
proposed rules. And that is to me above anything in I don't
care if you can't if it takes you five hours to download this
show because we're in the slow lane, which I'm sure will be
determined by deep packet inspection. And I don't care.
But if I blocked because of hate speech, because I call people
watermelon head or, you know, whatever cripple or misogyny and
that's not okay.
And that's where it's headed. And that along with and I'll say
it again, podcast licensing, blog licensing, you need a
license to do this. That'll be the way in which it is always
headed to trying to license journalism, unfortunately, so
have to deal with the Bill of Rights in that regard. But I
don't think they have to necessarily with podcasting,
once the FCC gets a hold of the internet. I mean, it's not as
though if you're NBC and you have a network, you don't have
to reapply for licenses constantly. And they're always
looking over well, you had a few violations here, you showed a
ticket, you know, you somebody said Dick, you know, we're gonna
have to find you a little bit. This is the same thing that's
going to happen to people who run websites, they're going to
be oh, there's going to be an overseer, it's going to be the
FCC, you're going to need a license to produce stuff, you're
unlicensed. It's going to be just like your ham radio guys
are pushed off into a little area where they can do a little
broadcasting now and again, but but even on the if you're a ham,
this can't do all kinds of things. You're limited. This is
a
great this is a great analogy, John, a great analogy. Exactly.
Ham radio, which requires studying taking a test and is
not all that difficult, like I did it. You are you are you your
free speech is restricted. 100% Oh, yeah. On ham radio, you do
not have free speech. If you are restricted from what's the
lascivious I believe is the word they use as
one of them. Yeah, I'm just thinking of the actual rules.
You can't say you can't cuss. You're a ham. You can't sell
anything you can't access. I think you can't promote anything
not true. You're allowed to sell your own gear, and offer that to
people who you're talking to.
Yeah, well, that. We know what we mean. But you can't sell
anything.
It's so that's that's the model.
Yeah. And that's why and then once the FCC gets a hold of the
internet, which is what everyone seems to want, yeah. Hello, Eff.
The big push on net neutrality is give it to the FCC. Let them
drive some laws to protect us. You're gonna be really sorry.
Yeah. It won't be tomorrow, by the way, but 10 years from now
the nets gonna look a lot different. Yeah. And there's no
stopping this net neutrality thing. We can complain all we
want. You know, it's happened and then the two other guys that
seem to understand this thing. Other guys was the to ask. Well
did Andrew or Loski over at the register has been harping on
this forever. But
has he been talking about the I don't think he wrote about the
unlawful versus I don't know. I
don't think so. He may or may not have anyone who's
writing about this as 00 understanding of the internet.
No, it is mass hysteria. Even if you have someone it's a
sickness.
Don't take away on Netflix and Facebook. Oh, that's it. It's
part of the illness. That we gotta figure this out. And we
got to come up with a word. We really that we will be will
well, why don't we just hold on for one second? As we've now
gone through all our tech news, I feel that I feel dirty. For
doing tech news,
tech news. Tech News didn't say the tech news jingle
you know I'm having is this the tech news jingle. There's
something wrong with
I can't seem to get there you might know. Anyway, sorry. I
don't know. I don't have the tech news jingle. It seems to be
gone. Yeah, this very easy. It's very bad. Tech Tech Tech. I
don't have a technical it's just gone. I don't know what to say.
But I do want to thank you for your courage and say in the
morning to you John C. Dvorak.
In the morning, you Adam curry and also in the morning
fellowships as he boots on the ground feet in the air subs in
the water. And all the Dames and all the Knights up
in the morning to everyone in the chat room. No agenda
stream.com Oh, we good to have you here human resources here
and in attendance. Then in the morning to our artists who are
providing fabulous art. I believe we we pulled an
evergreen for the last episode from Sterling Morton.
Yeah, it was an oldie but a goodie. Because we had we
had it was there was a lot of good art, but nothing really,
yes,
was off topic and some it was hard to do it, this is what
happens we either have too much art that we have to really fight
over right? Or then or there's nothing that quite clicks. And
in this case, nothing quite clicked. And we had to go deep
into the Evergreen archives to find this piece that we used.
But these these things really do make the difference. It is I
always smile when I open up my podcast app and then I see that
our art has changed. It looks good. You know it just looks
good. And it's hard. It's hard to have new art for every
episode and just because you are the producers we have this this
is and
of course eventually the artists have to be licensed with an FCC
approved sticker on their forehead. So they'll have to do
that and put a sticker on the on the individual artwork to show
it was approved by the public. I don't want to I want to thank a
few executive producers and Associate Executive producers.
This contest is
making his way to the brain waves 333 pounds.
Foley David Foley Yeah, we haven't heard from for a couple
of shows came in with $668.66 which is a variation on our
Regan alternative donation of 668. And he went to the makeup
one as you go along box and put that in I was very creative. And
I want to say something by the way, we have three executive
producers and three Associate Executive producers for a
balanced show. Can I just
say one thing about his donation that he also now of course,
receives the Holo book. The matching from free Holla
books.com
Right. Which I appreciate that yeah, they're great. I have a
couple of them and I use them Yeah. Those pleat ATM gentleman
pleasing. Enclosed Please find my value for value compensation.
Even though the show that you provide twice a week more than
justifies the donation How can one resist when you when you
throw in a protest? I think that's what he's meant. Throw.
Anyway, Della, producer credits and a hollow book.
Exactly. Okay, so I'm gonna give him some karma and a hollow book
you've got
from Concord, California up the road from me for $32.10 Hey,
idiot from Atlas McDowell.
This is not the Rubicon company. Yeah,
I think so. By the way, you took Rubicon off.
Oh, of course. It's way too good. You kidding.
I thought that was really strange. They would do that. Oh,
Hi, Ho Howard and Robin is Hey, idiot. Just couldn't stop myself
from completing my knighthood today after the recent string of
excellence from the best podcast in the universe. You guys are
killer killing it. And just about three people in the
audience will get that joke. I think a lot of people will get
that joke. Along with the dough nation do GH nation. I wanted to
mention something perhaps laying perhaps profound about the
ground truth meme from words matter. People say what they
really mean viewpoint. Couldn't ground truth also represent that
lower grade of truth. Butchers produced when they run the
cheaper cuts and awful A O FF al stuff through the amuse guts
through the truth grinder. When you hear ground truth. Let's be
thinking along the lines of ground beef. I like I like the
idea. Also request is an IT support dude named ban I've been
using JC D's you will obey as the ringtone for the on call
cell phones we share here at the support desks and hilarity
always ensues. I'll bet it but when goes off I'd like to step
that up a notch with a new ringtone so kindly give me a Why
would you have to put that you want to do this for him? We had
to put the echo on oh what are we doing? You need to echo he
wants to buy more kale you will obey I have that one I
have that's a pretty supreme mix I got that.
Oh you got okay well buy more kale you will obey followed by
I'm the rule follower was the okay this is what he wants to
use. To play this stuff that he wanted us to record something
new. I'm a rule follower with Boom shaka laka chaser these
night is Sir idiot of Atlas McDowell.
Okay, okay. I think I get just the bed everything was give it a
shot. I will do some karma there as well I presume that he wants
that. So
have more kale have more kale have more kale have more kale
so if the rule is that we have to do it,
then I'll do it didn't go boom you've got karma. Oh, yeah,
I'm not good.
Well, that was worth four to $3.10. So yeah, Sir Don. Sorry.
Well,
if he needs me to blow him, I'll come on. That's fine, too.
Let's see, sir. Dante. That's what
I normally do in calls.
So they have to go to Austin. Yeah. Okay, Sir Don to Okay. I
got an email from I bet
sir. Donde Tommaso de Toronto. Yes.
I can't remember what is his email?
Sir Don De Tomaso de Toronto and it wouldn't be
an email or something else in his email. I can give it a shot.
I'll look for it. And we'll replay that the second in the
second break. But he has something to say. I can assure
you as somebody who say for $11.33 from kettleby, Ontario,
Yale sourasky. ASO ski in tune of $46.58 Yeah, I'll probably
Yeah, hell yeah. Al.
Al, maybe Al.
No, Al is I know that's spelled differently. Force 246 50 from
St. Petersburg, Florida. The donation puts me three fourths
of the way toward toward full knighthood for years in the
making. That means I have donated from time from the time
I was a poor student to now as a Koch brother funded journalist.
Cue the jingle. Where are they? Are they I'm in Scotland at the
moment reporting on the referendum. Yes, as a Quebecois
I'm used to seeing failed referendums. But this one seems
a bit different,
because referendums are referenda.
I have no idea. It's a great way for the little guy to stick it
to the big guy. Simple as that for my dedicated pub research.
Anyone who isn't an elite is voting. Yes. We'll have some
dispatches from the ground from the ground published soon send
us some information as this develops. Because there's all
kinds of dubious reports coming out that this is going to not
pass. Walsh makes zero sense to me since the Scots have been
bitching about the British rule for 400 years.
This is this is their Braveheart moment. They're gonna go for it.
Well, they better they know they're bored, they got nothing
better to do nothing got work. They had nothing better to do
in nonnamous from Milford Michigan $222.22 And he wants to
tell you that am Tani contain is in the hood is on the hood oh
she's on the hood at this was in the
eye by had a crush on her when she was on the hood. And then
she married David covered dog
Okay, Jeffrey Fitch and Winter Garden garden Florida $222 flat
please send me some test taking karma much obliged you bet no
problem happy to hand that to you.
You've got karma
and that will be our executive producers and Associate
Executive Producer show 651 We do have a show coming up on
Sunday short shorter timeframe. Direct that org slash and a
please go there and help us continue the effort
and these are real credits these executive producer and Associate
Executive producer credits they work anywhere credits are
accepted. You can put them on your IMDB if you have it. Or you
can on LinkedIn people seem to get a lot of foot traffic when
they put their their producer ship there or just in your
signature whatever but it's interesting. People will talk to
you about it and then maybe you can explain what's going on a
deal Black Sunday with more analysis because there's a lot
to do devorah.org/in a course we need everyone to continue to go
out and try to propagate our formula.
Our formula is this. We go out we get people in the mouth
freedom, subjugation project fixing this world
I love it makes us sound so militant. Yeah,
you signed a letter from Don Tomas, Toronto. Good, good,
good. It's simple. I should read it now because he's actually
came in at the $100 level too. So it was going to be honest
thing twice. Okay. He says this week you'll find my two separate
donations to the best podcast in university. One is for 1133 For
the best source of information for one one, get it. The second
donation is 100. My son finally repaid tone for his ice bucket
challenge for us, guys. Please credit that to Dawn Emilio de
Toronto to start him on his road to knighthood. Your vigilant
service in the north. sermon from the north always says,
ready to deal with any crisis ISIS, see our ISIS get it done.
As you guys upon my stress
spell the name for me.
Da, Donnie Emilio de Toronto. Yeah, yes. That's the second
donation.
Oh, okay.
That'll be coming later. Okay. Okay. Good. So we're covered.
Yeah. Want to make sure we're covered? Onward,
we are covered? Well, there's a lot to it. I another thing I
need to mention when I left the Netherlands The day I left the
Dutch incident advisory board. I think that's what they're
called. A came out with their preliminary report of MH the
downing? I don't know who made up this that we had to take
downing downing Downings it's just
fuzzy and we're allowed to shoot down
Yeah, well shoot down would be more accurate. They came out
with their preliminary report, the end and even before it was
released, the telegraph, the big morning newspaper that all the
slaves read the head, huge headline, I'm talking row one to
probably four or five inch high headline, Russian shot first,
something like that, or the rush, it doesn't really
translate the Russian shot, as in they shot, then then you read
the report had even come out. And then the first it's like the
second paragraph, it says, Well, you know, it appears that maybe
this came from Russia. But we don't really know until the
report comes out today. But the headline on the day the report
came out which they knew shows such complicit behavior with the
messaging that the government is trying to put on to Europe and
the Dutch people. It was it was bile raising. And the report has
no information, this technical information that there was
nothing of any value on the flight data recorder or the
cockpit voice recorder everything seemed to be
functioning normally and then at the same time on both devices
did just nothing left which means there was no distress
calls nothing. They did not. I despise a little that they
translated the into Dutch, the ATC controller speaking to the
to the traffic during just before the incident. I would
rather hear the actual audio. I've always problem with that.
And the only thing they concluded is that the there was
a massive I think the exact word was explosive event from the
outside of the aircraft, which suffered a lot of which suffered
structural damage after projectiles ripped through the
fuselage and the cockpit at high velocity. Well, okay, we know
how these surface to air missiles work, they explode
nearby and shrapnel shoots out and then the whole thing falls
apart. But that was it, then now it was okay. Well, there'll be
another year before they come out. And if the even that we
still don't have the last 28 missing pages from the 911
Commission report. So please, 13 years later. So that was
disturbing. And then as I'm sitting in, I've gone to my
security and I'm sitting again observing people there are two
Dutch girls, men, maybe late 30s. Then they're on the iPads
and you know, and you can just hear the sickness in them. Oh,
look at this. Oh, look at this. Go look at this one. And then
one says, whoa, can you believe this ISIS, this ISIL Bucha and
the other and the other woman says, oh, no, I've just chosen
to completely ignore it. I just don't want to deal with it
anymore. And this is now what's happening. And part of it is
well that that actually goes deep. Religious that that one
person I think when you have somebody reporting on the
beheadings and refusing the watch the video, that's exact
same thing, same phenomenon. Let's
get into our segment here
Good work, Guy is very funny. So as I had this fever, then I'd
already done a lot of clips and work in the afternoon, but I'm
just I'm feeling it now a little bit too all to take some
ibuprofen or something to get the fever, I might have Ebola,
some hemorrhagic fever. They pick that up. And I'm watching
the setup and the spin going into President Obama's rare
primetime speech. Oh, very rare. And I think he's what these guys
are doing. And of course, this was a forced hand move. For the
president. They're probably looking at Twitter, because it
seems what everyone is doing is Twitter. Oh, Twitter bow must be
true. And they're not seeing the president's name trend or
anything about a speech. So they start selectively releasing
quotes. So people can you know, the the news corps can start
talking about it. And then the statistics now the statistics
are very interesting. There was an NBC Wall Street Journal poll,
which when I heard Erin Burnett say this, which is what is going
to be the she'd just jumped ahead on the message. Then I
will tell you what the poll actually said. What good is this
statistics of a poll anyway, but here's what she said.
Actually, the American people who showed that piece from dead
for a purpose to so people could see some of the videos some of
the atrocities that ISIS has committed these videos they've
put out there. 94% of Americans say that they saw the beheading
videos, they were aware of the pettiness of James Foley and
Steve stop laugh.
Okay. 94% of Americans saw the video. Yeah, I don't think so.
It's a lie. That is a lie. The actual study says 94% of
Americans were aware of the beheading video. Very few have
actually seen it.
They are now leading the president. Americans are now
prepared for
this is a lie. Americans are not leading the president
Terry conflict. Is this country being led into war because of
those videos with this?
Okay. Yes, yes, by Yes. Because of these videos. Yes, I agree.
And, but let's listen to the President. That's the only thing
the only the only quote, I pulled from his bone away and
then I think I had the opening which was kind of funny. Oh
nine. Here it is. Here's the only 35 seconds of the president
speech that I think mattered because I found it peculiar. And
also believe this may be untruthful
in a region that is known so much bloodshed, these and by the
way,
who chose the location for this prime time speech. Who decided
to put them in the echo chamber.
This was the miking could have been better
the miking could have been better I found that not to be
present. This is 2014 You know, how come this guy doesn't come
out? Keep that shit up. Give me some maps, draw some get one of
those screens, like the use of CNN, why does he have to be so
woowoo if you really want to communicate a message you want
people to listen to this is what I would advise get one of those
touchscreens like they have at CNN. And he should be saying
look, here it is. And you have been here's how they magically
fly over into American kill us all. That coming back. Whatever.
He's whatever bullcrap he's spouting. But this needs to be
whipped up. This is dumb. This is just totally dumb. In a
region
that is known so much bloodshed. These terrorists are unique in
their brutality. They execute captured prisoners. They kill
children. They enslave, rape, and forced women into marriage.
No. What does this force women into marriage business that
India does that to? India does that? Since this is not this is
not a new boy. It's it's new for the list. But why these people
don't do anything.
I think this is maybe a very subtle dig at India too. Don't
forget in the background we've included Yep. I think you've
agreed with me that there's a little thing going on with
India. Yeah.
Well, that's part of it then because this is this is not just
ISIS. Okay. Let me just finish this because I want
to stop you for a second just 20 seconds.
I know but I just there's something you said that I you
know, we're gonna lose track of that, which is when exactly are
we going to see a multimedia president or even running for
office?
They're still holding up a whiteboard to placards on easels
in Congress.
Anyway, I want to talk about this some more but Finish your
20 seconds because I think it's I think you've touched on
something that's not being addressed at all.
They enslave, rape, and forced women into marriage. They
threaten the religious minority with genocide. And in acts of
barbarism, they took the lives of two American journalists, Jim
Foley, and Steven Sotloff. So ISIL poses a threat to the
people of Iraq and Syria, and the broader Middle East,
including American citizens, personnel and facilities. If
left unchecked, these terrorists could pose a growing threat
beyond that region, including to the United States.
Okay, yeah, at 8:14pm which would be 15 minutes into this or
about 10 filetto minutes into the speech. I go look at what's
trending on Twitter. Top three uncarrier seven a tweet promoted
by T Mobile Number Two Ray Rice and number three
Apple Watch.
These people can't the public does not care. And I kept
looking back and go we can we can even look right now you'd
expect with all of this coverage. Certainly there would
be something by now that this would be trending. Let's go take
a look. Let's see what I find this on the stupid website.
Where's the trending stuff? Trending trends? Okay, we have
trends, Sunday million, whatever that is promoted by DraftKings,
another commercial Apple Watch Ray Rice, Oscar trial, the
douchebag in South Africa. Never forget September 11 911
anniversary Scotland, IDF 14 windows nine and Riva. Obama
ISIS ISIL speech not even on the radar. It was Franklin
Roosevelt. Who when he did his Fireside Chats is what he was
famous for his his rate that he I guess, kind of the was he the
first president that really use the media in that in that
capacity? One
who? I mean other? Yeah, absolutely. The fireside chat
was a big deal. It was a big it was an invention. It was using
modern technology, which is not the again getting back to that
point. He's using modern technology of the era, right? To
get his his messages across.
I should have pulled the actual audio. But it's uncanny when you
listen to what he says. And this is from this is an oldie, that
I'm not sure exactly when this is from but the present grades
are here. This war is a new kind of war. It is different from all
other wars of the past, not only in its methods and weapons, but
also in his geography. It is warfare in terms of every
continent, every island every see every airline in the world.
Is this
Roosevelt. Yes. Okay, what year?
I think it's 40
Open it out to be able to Pearl Harbor. But go ahead.
Let me check. It is February 23 1942. Yeah. And then he says,
that is the reason why I've asked you to take out and spread
before you a map of the whole earth. And to follow me with the
references which I shall make to the world encircling battle
lines of this war. Many questions will I fear remain
unanswered tonight, but I know you will realize that I cannot
cover everything in one short report to the people. So in
1942, he was really using the technology of the day. And
people people lined out site drugstores and stationery stores
around the block to buy globes and maps because the President
said I want to explain to you how this works. This this is
this is another part of the sickness. All we know is the two
centimeters on your watch your Apple Watch or the 4.7 inches
screen that Google Maps is showing you when to turn right
or left. People rarely zoom out, though if they do then they're
confused. They Oh, let me Google universe Oh, I'm on the moon.
But this rarely rarely do people look look at these things. Just
look look at the map. It's interesting.
Now this brings back the point again, that agenda always you're
gonna obsess about for a couple of shows.
Why can't it be like like Tim Collins of Apple, a Tom cook?
What's his name? Yeah, that would be good. He does a
beautiful PowerPoint or pages present. Well,
there's no reason that any candidate can't do this. And if
you remember who you will remember, you're probably not
old enough. But when Ross Perot ran for president and all of a
sudden almost managed to get 20% of the vote. I remember. He was
using little drawings. He would get on TV but but these ads you
get on TV and he'd hold up a cardboard, little piece of
carpet is like that what they do Congress only there were more
maybe probably more detailed. And he would show these things
to the poster said, Look, this is what's happening. And this
was going. And he would at least do that much just doing that.
And I watched these and I thought they were very
compelling. If you take that to the next level, and actually go
to some serious modern presentations to get your point
across, I think you could totally get a huge audience and
you could get it and you could really manipulate the public a
lot better than these boring speeches where he comes walking
up, he walks up funny anyway, and it's very distracting to see
him do it. He comes up to like a squirrel. Like when he comes
down to Air Force One you notice he's got his hands in front of
him. Yeah, he's like, it looks a little bit like Jeep Montgomery
burns over makeups over makeup, and he may weigh over me too.
Yeah, really made up with the pancake. Well,
I can tell you why this is not going to happen. Because no, as
I said, because not because he cannot walk and chew gum at the
same time. But I believe it is impossible for this President to
read prompter. And it's a trick, you know, it's not easy. It's
like weatherman do it. The TV news people know how to do it. I
know how to do it, John, you know how to do it. You can look
at the if he looks away from the prompter. He's confused. And he
loses his place. It was a bit it was we would call this after
this. And I think this was pre recorded. I don't even believe
that this was live. We would say the read was so so that's how we
would say it in the television business. Read was not like good
read. No, he stumbled, you could hear like, because this was the
senator placed teleprompter. Right, which he's not really
comfortable with. Because he's always doing the side to side
glass plates. So it may be you know, it's just a different
thing to be reading from I do not believe he can point to a
presentation or a map and read at the same time. I don't think
that's good. No, and it's not easy to do.
Really interesting theory.
I'd like to see him do it.
My theory is that the advisors and the people that run these
old politicals that run all these operations, the guys
behind the scene are so old fashioned that they wouldn't
even think of this. You're right. You might be right about
your thesis might be correct. He may be can't walk and chew gum,
and he couldn't do this. But that's beside the point. I don't
think you would ever get be given the opportunity because I
don't think any of the staffers, these Valerie Jarrett's and
these sorts of people think like that they're old fashioned half
of them. I don't think there's been a president can actually
use the computer ever in the White House. Now
that, you know, that's neither here nor there. But I just I
tweeted this, as the President just used some maps and would
spice up the presentation, we might care. Of course, people
who have half a brain will see through the bullcrap that these
ISIL people are not magically going to jump around. In fact,
this is pretty funny. Um, so here, let me just, this is you
know, get a crap laugh out of this. What, what was proposed?
While you're looking at that, I do have a clip, which I find
unusual. After his speech, a local news station, actually did
an analysis, which I rarely see is usually done by the network's
but they brought a guy in from the Hoover Institution who made
some interesting commentary. But he also dropped in a couple of
Buzz terms I've never heard before. Sorry. Play. Yes, play.
Okay.
Well, Mr. Henrickson, the key to this obviously has to be the
intelligence. Do we have the Intel network to pull off the
these intricate strikes in Syria?
No, not not presently, we had much better very good
intelligence when United States was at war with 1000s of troops
in Iraq, because we had what we call them fusion shell cells,
which brought together agents from the CIA, and the military,
Special Forces and other agencies, the FBI, the Defense
Intelligence Agency, and so on, all working together, parsing
sentences,
who is this person? Who is this? This analyst
is a guy from the Hoover Institution. I gotcha.
Yeah, every little bits of information, and then being very
good at getting it out quickly to the forces that were going to
implement. Tax. Exactly.
I want to talk about the President's strategy. He's
saying that he doesn't want to add any US boots on the ground.
How realistic is this? If we look back at the past, when US
forces were turning Iraqi forces? How realistic do you
think this would be? His strategy would be?
Well, it's a short term strategy. I don't think he kept
mentioning that he wanted to degrade and defeat the ISIL or
ISIS, or the Islamic State. But on the other hand, you can only
do so much with air. You can blow up some vehicles You can
blow off a true concentration. But if the insurgents the
terrorists go to ground, if they hide out, they'll be extremely
hard to get out. And we had enormous forces in Iraq and
Afghanistan, but it still required boots on the ground
soldiers doing all sorts of things to ferret out the enemy.
I have some clips of analysts as well, which I found to be
hilarious. I just want to go back to this clip that I now
found. This is Senator Poe, Senator Poe Congressman posting
it Senator Poe, and he has introduced some legislation
which is what we have talked about on the show. No one really
reporting on this,
Mr. Speaker, ISIS has continued its murderous rampage on
Christians, Jews and Muslims in Syria and Iraq. America needs to
go dismantle, disrupt and defeat ISIS victory should be the goal
is just as arrogantly beheaded to Americans and sent the
murderer videos all over the world. And now they say they're
coming to America to kill us. wants a small band of bandit
thugs fighting the Syrian civil war, these cutthroat terrorists
have fighters from many nations, including the United States. Ah,
what are we gonna do when Americans go and take up arms
with foreign terrorist organizations like ISIS? When
they go and give aid and comfort to America's enemies, their
passport should be revoked. So tonight I introduced legislation
that would prohibit the Benedict Arnold ISIS fighters from the
United States from re entering our country. The bill is called
the FTO passport revocation act. American traders who go to war
against America are not welcome back in our land, their
passports should be revoked. Further, ISIS fighters must be
held accountable for their terror, and we should track them
down and make the consequences of their tear unpleasant and
that's just the way it is. I yield back
douchebag so
this first of all, make sure that we that he's a rapper, he's
a House member from Texas, he's not a senator. So house just to
clarify that he's one of those guys. Dumb fucks him Texas No
offense. Well, you know, I suggested this myself. But
what's interesting, of course, is this. Takeaways notice
passport. Exactly this but then you also pointed out that you
can't actually do that. So the
Yale Law Journal wrote that this is unconstitutional and cannot
be done, because there is no law on the books that enables anyone
to do this. And Congress would have to pass a law to enable
this. So at this moment, but as of this bill, Edward Snowden,
his passport has not been revoked. If someone says it is
then it is unconstitutionally so but I have HR 5408 here, which
I'll just walk you through it for a moment, the terrorist
denaturalization and passport revocation act. And there's a
lot of it, basically, I'm sorry. It adds and strikes from the
Immigration and Nationality Act certain terms. And I have
highlighted a few you can always find it in the show notes in
paragraph four, but adding at the end of the line, accepting
serving in or performing the duties of any office post or
employment for an organization organization designated as a
foreign terrorist organization, pursuant to section 209 After
attaining the age of 18 years, if the office post employment
requires knowing engagement in hostilities against United
States military or civilian personnel, and then they strike
something else so they're very clear. If you are doing anything
with a designated terrorist organization, then your passport
can be revoked. The Act entitled An act to regulate the issue and
validity of passports for other purposes approved July 3 1926,
commonly known as the passport act of 1926, as amended by
adding at the end the following this is the one that is
necessary according to the Yale School of Law authority to deny
or revoke passport and passport card now this is there is no
authority to do this. Currently, there was bullcrap. Issuance
except as provided under Subsection B, the Secretary of
State may not issue a passport or passport card to any
individual whom the Secretary has determined as a member of an
organized organization. The Secretary has designated as a
foreign terrorist organization pursuant to section 209. The
second revocation the Secretary of State shall revoke a passport
or passport card previously issued to any individual
described in paragraph one. Notwithstanding subsection A,
the Secretary of State may issue a passport or passport card in
emergency circumstances or for humanitarian reasons you got to
always have an out in to an individual described in
paragraph one so if for some reason we have humanitarian
reasons, then we can have a terrorist to keep their
passport.
So I just find them stance would that be
if there was really CIA I guess
Oh, no. I go. Yeah.
So it just shows that everyone buying into this being possible,
certainly with Snowden is wrong. And they're trying to get this
on the books, which I think is a big constitutional issue because
you know, this act 1926 gives you the right to be able to
identify yourself as an American, outside of the US
borders. So I also found the analysis interesting, and I got
stuck watching with my fever watching CNN. And the first
thing, I was appalled. Blown Away, disgusted. At this, David,
I
want to bring in CNN news, political commentator, President
Obama's former Press Secretary Jay Carney, very happy that Jay
is joining us. Thanks for being here. Obviously, welcome to CNN,
when you left your job. As press secretary, Can you envision this
President having to address the nation on primetime television,
about ISIS, particularly for this president who campaigned on
ending the war in Iraq, getting out of Afghan
in what journalistic organization? Is it okay to have
a press secretary who only left his post in June now have a
fold, have a contract as an analyst for the journalistic
organization? This is not okay. This is appalling to you. Well,
listen to how he talks and I stand to now be in the position.
He's still like he's talking from the podium of essentially
launching an open ended military campaign.
Well, I think the point you're making is, is absolutely
accurate, that it is ironic, of course, given how this president
was elected, the policies that he laid out that he is having to
do this. But to answer your specific question, yes, I could
envision it because I left in late June and and the the the
the threat posed by ISIS was already apparent, they had
already moved dramatically across and into Iraq. He just
goes on and on and on. But it was kind of fun. It's just like
he's on the podium is
and then everyone's talking about the the carny and McCain
show because McCain came on and, you know, now the carnies just
the CNN guy, but of course, he's, he's not I mean, he is
like Stephanopoulos at ABC has a shield. This is a shill for the
Obama administration. Now we're gonna behave we need a guy on on
the circuit. Yeah, I know, why don't you resign, and we'll get
you the job of Jeff Zucker. He'll hook you up. Do you get
the million dollars a year? Then just come on and just repeat
whatever the President says and say it's good. It's all right.
And that's what he's doing. Did you see this McCain and carny
show was in our billing it? No, I'll play a little bit just just
give you the idea, but because they're hyping it so much. I'm
kind of disgusted. I'm sure there's gonna be a show now. The
the carnie McCain show when
I became retires. It was a very uncarved event. By the way, I'm
astounded that Mr. Carney should say that the the Free Syrian
Army is now stronger in fact, they've been well that's not
what I said.
If I could if I could serve what I said is that we know a great
deal more about
the day we knew all about him then you just didn't choose to
know I wish there in Syria, we knew them. Come on, you guys are
the ones your it's your boss is the one that when the
notice he uses the present tense your boss not from that back
then because new boss is CNN, but this is your boss
tire national security team wanted to arm and train them
that he turned them down to Kearney after a senator, I think
we have to agree or disagree.
When an analyst says, or commentator says we'll have to
agree to disagree. No, that's not what you're hired for carne,
that's not just supposed to have an opinion and stick to it. So
it's saying this is like from the podium, we'll have to agree
to disagree. Now,
the fundamental facts are stubborn things, Mr. Kearney,
and that is his entire national security team, including his
Secretary of State said, we want to arm and train and equip these
people. And he made the unilateral decision that sort of
turned him down. And the fact that they didn't leave the
residual force in Iraq, overruling all of his military
advisers, is the reason why we're facing ISIS today. So the
facts are stubborn things in history, and people ought to
know them. And now the president is saying basically, this goes
on
for a while, and they argue and it was dreadful and McCain was
really happy at the end. Now. I want to there's a couple of
things that happened here. I think making
a prediction and McCain would go into the media. Well, he's still
seems to be practicing.
So there's one so Newt Gingrich who was also on this, one of the
analysts, I think he nailed it. And then it was really funny to
see what happened. Watching this speech, his his his 32nd
analysis is exactly What is what is short circuiting everybody's
brain which I have some examples of
this speech that really struck me as we were sitting here
talking, you know, reality is a harsh teacher. This speech is
closer to a George W. Bush speech than it is to anything
Barack Obama would have said, between 2007. And this week. I
mean, go through this speech and tell me what do you think Dick
Cheney would not be willing to say this in this speech? It is
it is a remarkable moment of a president who didn't want to be
doing this. Being trapped in a world. I liked the speech. I
think it's a very powerful speech. But it sure is not the
Obama policy prior to tonight.
So it was funny to watch. people's brain just go haywire
that is so difficult for Democrats to acknowledge that
their dream their knight in shining armor is Bush, it's just
the same. This is this is the breaking Murray and Donna
Brazil. I don't know if she was drunk if she was high, but I
think her her brain short circuited, and she's even her
speech. What is her credibility when she come from this Donna
Brazil's
from the Clinton administration, she was like a kind of a Valerie
Jarrett type character hmm. And she's very credible in a lot of
circles, especially Liberal Democrat circles. Well,
it got so bad that well, first of all, I'll play this, this
opening salvo where you can see that she's confused, just
confused. And to her speech goes on nuts,
because he recognizes that the country is weary of war, the 13
years, millions and trillions of dollars spent the President
really I think, challenged us to come together as a country to to
fight this threat. No, we didn't to understand the nature of
threat. I thought the objectives of that he laid out to tonight
were very clear, very concise, but also thought his call to
Congress, for Congress to get involved to lend the resources
to make sure that this is just not
the to lend the resources. He doesn't, you know, a congress
works
to make sure that this is just not the President's so called
Warm ISO, but the country itself, I thought it was a good
speech. A good beginning, hopefully, Congress will pick up
the phone and say, Mr. President, I'm with you. Let's
get this. Okay.
So you don't say a good beginning. And Mr. President,
where which you know, which you? You're with you, not with you.
So this is where I'm noticing there's
there's a code going on here that I'm not absolutely
convinced. I'm not convinced there's code, but I'm not. I
don't know what the code means. What, which is the President
uses ISIL, the media uses ISIS, or they do the Islamic thing, or
they do the triple, which is the marketing thing. Yeah. And she
used the ISIL. Yeah. Now, there's something there's,
there's like you're part of some club. If you say one thing is
part of some other club. If you say something else. Yeah. But I
haven't really identify I
have received a message from our global intelligence network from
the military circles. And I have been informed that this is if
you're in the know, like, you say, Iraq, not Iraq, Iraq, if
you're in the know, you say, ISIL. If you're not in the know,
you say ISIS, and if you're in the know, you only say ISIL,
which is great, because we can always have a splinter group
called ISIS and then another one called AI so we can rate this
whole thing. Just so we're all clear, from my perspective, is
the best way for the American economy. This is exactly what we
needed, we need to ramp up the entire war machine. And with our
partners, the Coalition of the Willing, interestingly, the
Dutch were not included. And there was a an outrage that the
Dutch and we had people going to Washington because the crap we
need to sell some shit into this to you're gonna leave us
hanging. Everybody's Oh, it's this is a bonanza. And the best
thing is, no Americans get killed. This is fantastic. We're
gonna have advisors, and this is going to be Academy formerly
known as Z for knows Blackwater. And the there's, I have links to
the, to the website, they're calling for contractors, and
even I'll give them props pooper and an Tapper. That's a show for
you pooper and Tapper. I thought they were quite good in this,
managing these idiots in this in this roundtable discussion.
Listen to them mocking the advisers like we always do, and
it was very brief and very subtle. But then it never of
course gets discussed.
I think the President also needs to explain to people this is not
without risk.
There's already 500 us advisors on the ground. No doubt there's
going to be right there's going to be hundreds you catch
it, advisors and people Gosia right. We all know what it is is
contractors. This contractors who are going in and we're
upgrading the idiot ISIS ISIL guys that we had to begin killed
and then these guys will be in and they'll just keep it going
for years and years and years. Let's go back to donner, Brazil.
And this is she tries to explain why, because you can't explain
it all away, why we pulled out and going back in and her brain
is fried.
But the Iraqi government did not want us to stay there. With the
with the kind of the kind of guarantees that they wanted from
us, we did not
force agreement.
Do not know, Cooper's like you moron, and he jumps in. And then
even Gloria Borgia, everyone, and they're trying to teach her
what's going on and tell her to shut up,
actually protects us treat
unreasonable conditions are
a disgrace that he believes in an agreement could have been
raised
to go to Parliament to Parliament or
JJ. Yeah.
If I if I could.
This short circuiting. She can even speak normal. Normally.
There is, I think, here's a CAROL COSTELLO you know, I love
her Carol, CNN. This morning.
So Donna, there's there's a bit of irony here this president won
election, in part because of his anti war stance. So we are it's
just kind of weird.
It's just kind of weird. That's your analysis, Carol. This just
kind of weird.
Shawn dawned on her? Yeah, I
could have.
I have a clip here. Let's play this. I just thought this was
interesting. Because on Fox, because Fox is all in on this,
because they're all part of that industrial complex part of it.
And the US public, okay with bombing Syria, which is the
latest thing,
so officials that the President will outline a three phase
campaign to destroy ISIS during his speech tomorrow. And the
third phase of that plan, which involves
they're going to destroy ISIS during his speech.
That is actually what was said. That's what she said they're
going
to destroy ISIS during his speech.
Second, let me let me play that again. That was good, died by
Miss that
US officials that the President will outline a three phase
campaign to destroy ISIS during his speech.
That's funny, good tomorrow.
And the third phase of that plan, which involves airstrikes
against ISIS in Syria seems to have the backing of the American
people with 65% of Americans saying they support us
airstrikes in that war torn country.
This is so wrong, the indigenous throwing these numbers out
there. You can't even you can't even log it, you have to have a
paywall membership for The Wall Street Journal to see their
phony baloney serve.
It is interesting to note that this number is up more than
double the level of support for airstrikes in Syria more than a
year ago, when the regime was using chemical weapons. And the
last poll that I want to share, it reveals exactly how strongly
Americans feel about ISIS and threat to the United States with
91% viewing the terror network as a vital threat to US
interests.
Okay, there's something I gotta mention, I don't know if you
caught it. But I find it deplorable and there's nothing
we can do about it. We talk about this all the time. But
reintroducing a false meme, to me is just,
it just it's criminal. It's criminal, John, it's criminal in
the false
meme, in this case, of course, is when they were using chemical
weapons. This has been debunked a million times by a by
everyone. They were not using chemical weapons, the weapons
were not their weapons, it was too far away. There was a and
there's been study after study that shows they were they were
they weren't using chemical weapons, which is what they
denied. We didn't get rid of the chemical weapons, but and they
were a problem, but they weren't using them. But she drops it in
as though it's fact even though it has been debunked. But there
are no we're gonna go with the old memes because they work
better on the stupid public, especially the viewers of Fox
and, and we're going to use social networks and smartphones
as our fact base. Here's McCain entering into this territory, as
this is how things are true.
Senator McCain, the President also said that we have not yet
detected specific plotting against our homeland. Cooper was
good. He was he was asking the tough questions. I think he's
sick and tired of this crap. By the way.
Americans who hear those words might wonder if that is really
the case, then why do we need to take action against ISIS to now
wait
for this answer. So he has to now refute the clear evidence
that no one is coming to beat us up and kill us here. And by the
way, Texas is ready. ISIL Come on. Come on cross that border.
We're waiting for you
that you say what?
I say that today. We had a hearing and there was testimony
from the counterterrorism people in Department of Homeland
Security. There's Twitter traffic right now. Twitter
traffic traffic, Facebook traffic urging attacks on the
United States of America.
Okay, so that's it.
When is that new?
It's knew from a cane. For him to use this. There's Twitter
traffic and Facebook traffic. But this is the problem because
of the sickness. People buy into normal shipping and the posting
on Twitter, Twitter, Facebook, even on Facebook. I mean, that's
mostly true. It's on Twitter. It's on Facebook. It's on
Twitter. Yeah. And of course, this will take years and years.
Borgia Gloria Borgia, who I think she's also she's also a
shill, isn't she? Isn't she married to someone?
We looked into our mutual market.
So the President has to address both of those headwinds, if you
will, as he tries to rally the country at this big moment.
Yeah.
So explain the complexity of this situation, because this
isn't going to be like shock and awe, you know, in the first Gulf
War, this is not this is going to be something that as the
Congressman says, is going to take years and patience and
intelligence to let the American public know you know, this isn't
just going to be drop a few bombs and that's it.
No, we have to drop a lot of bombs and it's shot what a
beautiful strategy I'm so proud. Not a single American will die
be we'll have tons of contractors advisors die,
consulta. Yeah, but they're all there no one cares what they get
paid a lot of money to So yeah, that's why that's why they do
it, then there's hundreds of them dead in Ukraine also, you
know, they're they're the actual so called opposition. So this is
perfect. We can we continue to produce we've we've now forced
everyone in NATO, that everyone has to step up to their 2% of
GDP, which a lot of countries are not even half that, then
where's that money go right into our pockets, Raytheon, Boeing,
then and we kill brown people and sandy areas, no American
troops. This is what the drones has been about. This is what
it's been about. We're still going to fire a $1 million
hellfire missile every second. That's down that it's going to
be great. And everybody's in on the Toyota. Now we've noticed
these Toyotas? Yes, this is annoying. NPR had a big piece
which I would say borders on. Not native advertising. But
product placement. One of the modern tools of warfare for
militants in Iraq or anywhere really is the pickup truck.
Perfect for carrying heavy loads with lots of room to mount
weapons in the back. And as we've reported before, one brand
in particular Toyota is a favorite of rebels and militias
the world over. They should use that as a slogan rolled over as
a slogan, Toyota the choice of terrorists the world over
recently, Toyota pickups were all over images from Libya. As a
coalition of militias there overran the capital Tripoli.
We're at a checkpoint on the outskirts of Tripoli. You've got
1234 pickups mounted with heavier Tillery machine guns on
the back. All four of them are two years. That's kind of a
throwback to 2011. During the revolution, two euros were the
ultimate rebel fighters car and they still
it's the ultimate rebel fighters car, our booth Oh, it has been
the huddle.
The very powerful little tackle sand road off road, whatever you
want it to do, and it will do it with the weapons on board too.
It's perfect. Most of the pickup sports some variation of anti
aircraft weapons. Occasionally long tubes pop out of the back.
Those are rocket or missile launchers. That's like a
Batmobile. All of the above are on display at the gate of a
nearby militia base. fighters say they snatched the older
pickups from Qaddafi forces through now
that was the old ones but now we got to move into the new ones
that we're seeing on the ISIL video
revolution. They bought the newer ones from Toyota. The
carmaker opened its first dealership here in late 2010.
Open up a dealership. This is a five minute report on the
Toyota's dealership rebel fighters come and get to Toyota
hear
me call rebel Toyota.
I think then then they could
they can put some kind of gear in there saying easily mount a
machine gun
that would love to have one of these surplus ones once the war
is over. You know when I'm selling
shot holes in it? Yeah, with the with the mount fire missile is
$70,000. It's cheap.
What was a million dollars?
Well, this is a good little point here. Somebody pointed
out. The US recently sold 209 Patriot missiles to Kuwait for
$900 million. So each of those things cost 4.3 million.
I don't think you can launch that from a drone, though.
Maybe you can. I don't know. No, no, those are fired from the
ground
from a submarine. I thought the Hellfires either. Here is Dianne
Feinstein confirming another track of this war on ISIL.
That what the change is what the Coalition of the Willing is
willing to do, what the Saudis are going to do, if in fact and
there's a difference of opinion on this. Is Iran going to help
Iran has offered To help I, for one, think that's useful. What
other Middle Eastern countries are going to do? And what would
be the prime role for America?
So that's interesting. This is what we've been talking about
that Iran would be. And she says Iran, which means he's not
really in the know. Then we have Wes Clark coming on to telegraph
Hall. Well, we already have heard from him, as always happy
to you always happy to have the West Clarke show back on the
air.
How serious of a threat is this
thing? It's a big threat to Saudi Arabia. I think it's a
threat to peace and stability in the region. I think there's some
threat to the US homeland from people who have served there or
people who might want to go there but find it more
convenient to strike in the United States,
a lot of people who have Western passports, European courts,
American
people, but I think
the key thing is that this is a force that has money. It has
military leadership, and it has the ability to reach out and
strike. So if I were particularly the Saudi
government, I would be particularly worried about this
for
Hello, hello, Saudi Arabia, hello, Saudi Arabia, incoming
incoming,
no American combat troops, he's going to rely on this coalition.
I think the coalition
only way you can beat it is by having Sunni troops on the
ground against ISIS.
This is really we're taking sides here.
It's a lot of action going on. This is actually kind of fun to
watch.
I find it in a very enjoyable show. I'm completely worried
about my fellow, see if they if they catch on, then really,
really start to figure out how they can get to they're not
managing the, the sickness properly. This is why it's not
trending, because they're just not doing it. Right. But if they
really figure it out, it's it can I think you'll see people
going into shock. Yes, yeah. You're CNN trying
wolf tonight new information about a desire by ISIS to carry
out an attack using biological agents. At least one ISIS
militant disconnected to a plan to inflict mass casualties, a
scheme which could lend more urgency to the President's plan
to eliminate the ISIS threat. After killing 1000s of Iraqis
and Syrians and beheading to Americans, could ISIS be
planning something bigger? A US intelligence official tells CNN
they're aware of specific details on a laptop to this
thing got no no play the laptop Bogota? Yeah, this bogus laptop
now that now they're just reading foreign policy dot coms
crap on the
air captured from an ISIS hideout in northern Syria
hideout it was a safe house before according to Foreign
Policy Magazine, which accessed the laptop and first reported on
it. The computer has documents on how to carry out a mass
attack, unfortunately, not encrypted with that super
Mujahideen encryption among those documents, how to make
biological weapons, even how to weaponize the bubonic plague. If
they got the agent got the dispersal. Listen to
this as an expert on bubonic plague and killing people with
biological weapons. And they're standing on a street corner
doing this interview,
right? can wipe out whole city blocks.
It can wipe out in
higher cities that they're using a contagious agent that is
microencapsulated in their right particle size. Yes.
According to foreign policy, one of the documents on biological
weapons says quote, use small grenades with the virus and
throw them in closed areas like Metro's Hold on
let me write that down. Use small grenades with this bubonic
plague with microbiology dies somehow and throw them into the
metro. It will remove
entire cities soccer stadiums or entertainment centers
notice soccer stadiums, football stadiums, soccer stadiums, hello
Europe false flag coming in another
file a video showing how to make rice on the laptop was the
property.
Walter White can make rice in this not impressed me. See, this
is what the people are doing wrong.
We have a jihadist labeled Muhammad s who joined ISIS after
studying at two universities in Tunisia.
They confirmed that the guy studied their physics and
chemistry and that he left in 2011. And they don't know where
he went. What is interesting
about this case is this guy had a science background. I mean, he
was you know, he wasn't just looking into the screws. What
you're really concerned about is a scientists really kind of
adopting these jehadi ideals already, science
terror laptop of doom, which went nowhere, we have such a
nice jingle for it
just so we have a guy Anoder 5051 of the Twitter Do you have
one of a Twitter followers? He has a nice little one that we
should at least consider Okay, check obsessive compulsive
disorder to see D.
Maybe more is not bad. No, it's not bad. Let me write it down.
He OCD.
So it'd be nice if we just have three letters instead of four.
But
successive from my tech, obsessive compulsive disorder.
It's not good enough because it has to be it's really about the
social network and the smartphones, not just tech, but
it's a good set. Well, you know, it's on the board. It's on the
board. It's on the board. It's a good start is on the board. Very
good start. Yeah, so this, this is really quite sad. That it's
hilarious. Well, I think it's really good for the general
economy. This is this is what it's always been about, you
know, it's the here's the joke of it. It's not that good for
the general economy. Why not? I mean, it's, yeah, it what it
does is it gets back to what we worse, but less than what we
were spending maybe more, then we have this little issue coming
into play by this nervous Nellie, who came on who came on
one of the business shows to play the 11% clip, do what you
kinda like, maybe take it back a notch
labor saving technology, and you would think the manufacturing
would have the biggest expenditure. And it's actually
is pretty constant across different industries. So about
about 11%, the current employees are basically going to be made
redundant by robots over over the next five years. Okay, so
11% across the board, if you look at that number of employees
losing their jobs, that is equivalent to the the amount of
unemployed we have today. It's a huge chunk of the population.
And, and with minimum wage increasing, that is going to be
ramped up. So what we're talking is more than 11.
Wow. Wow. All right, Professor,
thank you very much.
Do you know what someone's got to get voted off the island?
Might as well be the 11% I don't care for Senate take your phone
and go away. Indiscriminate narrative acceptance disorder.
No, I can't remember it. You just said it. I could repeat it
back. Yeah, nonetheless, put on
put on this, but this is. And so many people want this. They want
Oh, there's just dumb, but this is just making our show better.
So that showed up on Chuck Todd,
this was on this chocolate chips, chips.
Yeah. Chuck Todd, who I've now determined is a version I'm
going to try to reintroduce this character into the public
consciousness or at least the no agenda consciousness character
that was a 1920s to about 1950 cartoon character named Caspar
milquetoast milk toast, of course. And this is Chuck Todd.
I didn't realize until I was somebody said, All Chuck Todd's
gonna be fired because it's stupid questions. He's toasts?
Yeah, exactly. He's
mad. I said, Yes. Casper milk toast, right. He will not get
fired. He's
perfect. You want to explain Caspar milquetoast briefly.
This was his wimp. A worse that would always just be wouldn't
make a statement. He was always a beating around the bush. He
was he was the original politically correct person. And
this was in the 20s. And this cat and it was almost a ran
under the cartoon was called the Timid Soul by a very famous
cartoonist at the time, who was considered kind of the Mark
Twain of cartooning. And he just played this wimp is outright,
you know, oh, I can't do this. You can't do that. I mean, just
a scared, you know, was in fact, he was described as such back
then. And well, not really. But in the
this is where this is where the milk toast, saying comes from?
Yes. And it's spelled mi L. Qu. E, toast, right. And as Caspar
CISPR anybody can look him up on the Wikipedia is very
interesting. But so I've decided that Chuck Todd is this guy and
he's going to be perfect for NBC. He ends. So listen to this.
This is the Chuck Todd and the exhausted query. This is where
he has Obama. He asked him he tries to ask a hard question.
And he just Obama brushes him off and continues chatting.
Plenty of supporters viewers say to me, he looks exhausted,
exhausted, you know,
I actually feel energized about the opportunities that we've got
there days where I'm not getting enough sleep, because we got a
lot on our plate. When you're when you're president united
states, you're not just dealing with the United States, as we
saw during the NATO Summit, if there's a problem in Ukraine,
we're the ones who are expected to mobilize the world community
to isolate Russia. That's pressure support Ukrainians and
to vindicate the principles of sovereignty and territorial
integrity and shut up that we stand for. If there's a problem
in the Middle East. The expectation is is that we To
create the coalitions to deal with a problem like ISIL if
there's an issue in Africa around Ebola, we need to help
mobilize that public health infrastructure.
You should be wearing a cape. Big super cableless. And
so
this is exactly what the progressives, liberals, whatever
you want to call the Obama bots, like my friends here. This is I
know they even have the professor moved away. The artist
wants to introduce a new person and wants to rekindle the obat
sessions, the dinners, I think I have to go, I need to tap into
how they are handling this. Because they're, I think they're
gonna go no drama Obama is gonna go to Nick, you know, this is
our job as who we are as Americans, which is bush, and I
will be able to throw all these things out.
It's crazy. Just me it's my staff also. Yeah, that were our
inbox gets pretty high.
I got asked to adjourn that gets pretty high. What kind of
metaphor is that for your inbox? Full Maybe. Or maybe he means an
actual Paper Inbox. They print out the emails. I don't know
what's going on there.
Vacation. made the statement on Foley, you went and golf. Do you
want that back?
You know, it is always a challenge when you're supposed
to be on vacation.
Yeah. Here's the challenge that he really had. And he's for has
learned that over the recent labor day weekend when he was in
New York for fundraisers and to attend the wedding of his chef
President Obama's request to play golf at several clubs was
denied. Apparently, some New York movers and shakers would
not alter their golf plans for the President. His real
bosses go away. Boy, his real bosses, his real bosses, the
bankers that were not you can't play No, we don't want your bull
crap with your your your your helicopters go away. We have a
game here, son move off.
Yeah, that's exactly what that means. And I wasn't playing.
I'm sorry. The the boy thing is that came out very racist. But I
think that may be the case.
No, no, that's what they would say. Yeah. You were just my you
were my son. Yeah. I am mocking of course, I'm sure they would,
they would say something like that. Anyway. So we go on and
they go to the meat they have now they have a little table.
And then Chuck Todd sits in the middle and they're stupid. It's
old fashioned to people on either side of it. Is this new
in the format? I think that this way, they're doing this new they
got new people very dangerous
to do this very dangerous. You got to ease into the old format.
Don't just go changing everything. I
don't know. You know, I never watched the show. But anyway,
they had the they have the I don't remember seeing it like
this. I remember seeing a little more modern. This is the old
fashion guy in the middle two on each side that is very old, old.
Right? Nobody does that. So anyway, he's got to two guys.
Scarborough was one of them. Then he's got to
chuck Scarborough now. Yeah. Chuck Scarborough from New York
five. No, you must have been
no, the Scarborough guy that's on the MSNBC morning, Joe.
That's not Chuck. Joe. You said Chuck. I
didn't use that. Chuck.
I said Scarborough. You said
Chuck Scarborough. I said Chuck Scarborough you said yeah, as
Joe.
Joe. Anyway, the point is
really Moon bases
you'll be sorry, you say you keep mocking
episode 141 You were right. What do you mean I was write someone
I haven't checked it. Someone said it was 141 It's a long time
ago. Yeah, what happened when I said Israeli Moon bases so but I
haven't checked it but I believe any random Twitter person over
you any day.
So you said Israeli Moon bases where you can tell in Episode
141 I stand corrected. I haven't checked it but I believe it.
Well, I feel very good now. I'm very vindicated because I was
challenged when I absolutely remember this and people kept
reminding me of
it. Let me just tell you I'm feeling very weak right now. I'm
sharp. I'm sharding
that's fine. You'll be feel better in a minute. Back to this
really got shoved in the middle as got this guy on his right.
That is a bold clone of Chuck he's got that same little beard
that little round goes exactly the same. It's like it was kind
of creepy to see it. Anyway. So I have a clip and I want to see
if you can spot spot the odd usage of a single term that to
be honest about it. I've never heard before, let alone heard a
million times now on this little exchange between Chuck and these
other people that were very close. They were they were
really trying to deconstruct the his his screw up with Oh Foley's
the Foley commentary, which apparently
I mean the JV the junior varsity,
the thing that Chuck Todd didn't it was a Caspar milquetoast
could now. Talk to the President out except Jim mentioned in
passing them back off. So let's listen to this and look for the
term. I want you to tell me the term
okay.com
I want to bring back Joe AMI Nia and stay In here, let me start
with you. The President talking optics. I know he does. He hates
that aspect of the job. He he admitted it, it was sort of that
sort of a very honest moment.
I remember and you cover President Obama in 2008, or
candidate Obama when he was he did get the optics then Right. I
mean, this was a good friend of our day. But he got the theater
of politics and this idea that somehow he doesn't get it now. I
think he gets it. I think he probably just doesn't care at
this point. is fine with blaming the press
presidents do have to compartmentalize. I mean, that
is a fact of the matter. If you don't, you could you could never
go to sleep,
they do have to compartmentalize. So I was glad
it was good to hear the President say, I'm not really
good at it, I probably should be a little bit better at optics.
That's, that's hard for him,
you know, standard, it's important to note that he's
basically saying I messed up the optics. He's not saying I
shouldn't have done done the golf. He's basically saying,
Look, I deal with this all the time. You guys just had a
different picture.
And I think it's they've had this problem, I think,
throughout particularly the last couple of years since the last
election. But I mean, it's been a systemic problem for the
administration, where they don't quite understand that these
things matter to people, it does matter to see the President
being serious, leaving something like that, and not being out,
you know, laughing and joking with his friends, even though
you know, I think most Americans get that he can compartmentalize
and that, you know, this does not necessarily impact his
ability to do the job. It matters still for them
psychological elections. I
mean, this guy has he's been attacked for not getting optics
since 2008.
I have an opinion on this. This is well, you go first, I have
an opinion. Well, first of all, it's a stupid conversation I've
ever heard probably for six months. That card,
compartmentalize and optics, which is some sort of an
insider's beltway, I don't I don't even know if it's that
because I've never heard this use like this before, over and
over and over again for in exchange for the word
appearance, appearances, maybe? Well, whatever the case is, it's
like some sort of like a consultant's term or it's like
something that some douchebag would say in a meeting. It just,
I found it like a conversation of what are these? What planet
are these idiots from
this word optics, I have heard on a conference call, within the
past couple of months, with very high level very famous Silicon
Valley investors, very rich, and who know Obama personally. And
they are Democrats, and they were using this word. And I
think it's just one of those things. But to me optics, is
means that you're you're distorting the light path. Or
you're, you're doing something scientific to the with optics
with with lenses. So I think the code the way I interpreted it
is, you are trying to portray something to the public. And you
have your your magic wiki lenses in front of it. You're trying to
laser focus beam, whatever you're trying to do distort the
image. I think it means distortion. Optics, they know
what they may mean, by saying, Okay, this is how it looks. But
why did you say it would look bad? Now the optics, I think I
think this is true code that was pretty outrageous how many times
they used it, doesn't anyone think of themselves crap? I
shouldn't use that word.
I wonder about that myself. I mean, that I there's more
evidence. I mean, I could have made that clip longer. They
didn't. So optics, optics, optics, though? The optics?
Well, he's aware of the optics. Well, I think he's you they used
to be more aware of the optics. Well, the optics, we could have
done this with the optics. And I was floored flabbergasted by
this particular and to be honest about I have never heard it used
before. We're lucky you got to hear and probably you picked up
on it when you heard it the first time.
I actually mentioned this to you. When it doesn't matter.
Yeah, but I remember you and I having a conversation why
apparently
wasn't how I found it home like listening to these guys use it
over and over and over all of them. They all used it.
Here we go. Here's optics. The scientific study of sight and
the behavior of light are the properties of transmission and
deflection of other forms of radiation. And then it has North
America typically in a political context, the way in which an
event or course of action is perceived by the public. So I
would change that definition to the way the public is deceived
by politicians. That's why That's good.
That is in the dictionary there that as that definition, which
is what we just discussed, means it's been around a lot long.
Okay, I apparently I was not paying attention. I've never
heard of you so much on television. That is,
by the way, that is the Google when you just throw it into
Google. If you go to dictionary Merriam Webster does not have
this definition.
Okay. So it's new, this is a new thing that these, this came from
consultants, I'm sure of it. And the fact that venture
capitalists would be and I'm saying the the fact and you get
it,
I do have to nail you. The,
I don't know how else to get to the sentence. But venture
capitalists are using the term and they are extremely
susceptible to language change, based on meetings with
consultants and advisors and, and groupthink. So they go to
conferences, and somebody uses the term a lot. Boom, they're
using it the next day. Exactly.
Exactly. Well, that's a good catch.
Yeah, he's kind of I'm just interested in I hope I don't
hear it much more because it's very annoying. I think it's an
annoying term to hear when it means why don't they just use
the what it what you're talking about appearances or theater or,
you know, a couple of others
because I think they're really they really mean the distortion
of the light to the public, not how the public perceives
something.
I don't know that these guys, Scarborough and
they're all come on Scarborough is a politician. They're all in
the circuit. On this, this whole the whole game is so rigged.
Everybody has been
there disgusting stuff in front of the public on two levels. And
the level that they're discussing amongst themselves is
not the level that the public right hearing.
That's what you hear when pooper and tapper laugh about the so
called advisors they're like advisors rights and pooper goes
Yeah, right. We know that but doesn't discuss it doesn't say
hey, this advice.
They are just essentially buffalo in the public with this
is and and and the public by talking to levels like this. Let
me
point out that you say it's never going to be up to that
level. But I don't know. The so the military, the consultants,
the advisors, the academies of the world, there's a couple
others they charge so much money to do this work. It is a huge
Bonanza, it gets thrown into this $500 million you know
counterterrorism fund. Its total slush fund Is it is it is a big
Bonanza what is happening here Toyota is not everybody's in on
it. Everybody is rockin this they love it well, you bro yes
so
you're you're indicating at some level that and I'm I'm or if
you're not I'm going to do it now that these douchebags on
this show talking amongst themselves they're not immediate
there's nobody's meeting the press the press talking amongst
amongst itself it looks like after an interview somebody did
they are indicating by using the word optics optics optics that
they're in yes, there. They went to the right the right meetings
that they can now that and they're indicating to each other
that they're members of the club of some club. Yes.
That is exactly what your I see no difference between them
saying optics, optics and Cooper and tapper laughing at the
advisors while not sharing the joke. BS that this is what
astounds me, because I've tried to move but I've tried to place
my conspiratorial thinking into a certain box, and be very
careful, just for my own credibility. You know, this,
this things will always come back to that I have a set to
thinking about. But to me, it's becoming more and more evident
with every passing day that the mainstream media really is in on
it. And it really is controlled. It is it is so evident. Have you
on facebook.com/carol CNN, she's cute. She's just not she's dumb.
Yeah, this is why Donna Brazil she done in the meeting. They
expect her to just look you're black, you know, you're a
Democrat, go say nice things about the President go on CNN.
This is how they think by the way, this is not me. This is how
they think. And she screws it up. They've pulled her off.
After an hour, that crap she didn't say goodbye. She was
gone. She was a loser. She couldn't handle it. She wasn't
at the meeting. Now there are meetings going on. And it's
really, really rampant. And I find it hard to believe it. This
is something I would have said six years ago, right? Mainstream
media is all in. But it seems from all evidence I'm seeing
that it's true.
Which is why we have an audience that enjoys the simple fact that
we can deconstruct this and pull it out without limit high
critical I think I don't know what we're why our skills are so
good at spotting this stuff. But at least to me, not always but
often These things stand out like a sore thumb. And I'm
stunned well, and people aren't noticing.
Well, the 94% of all Americans who had heard about the videos,
if you, you know, it's very difficult with even the smart
people I know. It's hard, I don't want to watch the video.
And it's so easy to dupe people by, I mean, we've seen beheading
videos, we've seen people get into I find the videos where
those guys sit in the row and they get shot through the back
of the head, it's very shocking to see that that's real. And
that but that's not that's not being propagated because not our
actors known famous, we needed our our Global Post boys. The
Boston connection, which I will point out is very, the Boston
connection is becoming extremely annoying, global posted from
Boston, the here's here's this, I didn't want to, I'll say this
until after the break. But let's talk about our model first. And
then I'll get into all of that as we close out the segment I
think we should probably do.
Maybe I'm going to show my school but donate to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be
fun.
And I do have to point out that we have a global intelligence
network, then people contribute to the show from all walks of
life, if there's something we need an expert on that expert is
there. Many of them go anonymous, and I want to be
credited on the show most
of them, most of us a lot of them not elbow, some lot of them
and, and other people contribute by keeping us in business.
And that's kind of it's kind of a network ourselves, because we
kind of these people communicate with each other? Oh, yeah. And
it's a conduit for kind of understanding what's going on.
For people who want to know what's going on live, people
don't care. Most people don't care, they got their little
Facebook thing, they got their iPhones in front of them. They
don't care to listen to it, if you present the show to them,
then we don't get it. We don't care.
I'm trying to ignore that because it's too upsetting. And
that, I think is where our rulers really want us to be just
in a non caring mode. Because all they have to do is just make
the optics look right, and you're good to go. It's that
simple. Make the optics true. Maybe that's how you would
present it. And then we have no argument.
Exactly. So let's thank a few people that helped us out with
show 651 including Christopher Dolan, who came up with it. Why
didn't what might one of my favorite donations 12345 And
he's in Berlin, Connecticut. I mean, what's the thanks to the

will give you some luck with the ladies karma coming up at the
end. Yes, we will. More stuff. Hugh Becker. 12345. Nice. And
he's actually in Puerto Rico. And he wants to give Carmen

backwards. Oh, Tanya organisers, Sean D to tratado. Oliver none.
More than a few people use that really sell Gado in Grimoire is
Portugal. And it's not pronounced that way. Yeah,

closer to Spanish maybe another 12345 And he says he's hope he's
not too late wishing Adam a happy birthday. Oh no. And he
says you guys have changed my view on media and educated me on
the value of healthy cynicism and critical thinking all while
putting on an amazing show. I don't know about amazing,

the way, which is nasty one viewer No
it's it's depressing. Is it really depressed? Oh
no, not at all.
Why do you say it's a nasty one?
It's just because people are 60 Oh year old you know senior
citizen. You know that can my memory I'm going to tell you
this. Here's something I want everyone out there who works in
retail or anything like this. You go buy something. And the
guy at the counter says that'll be $5 young man.
To to you. Yeah, fuck you is what I'd say. Yeah. Douchebag
right. Oh, how I would throw I would say fuck you. I'm sorry. I
said it twice since arrests. I don't want I'm just where's your
where's your manager? This is ageism. You might as well just
say boy to a black man. It's an ism. Yeah, same thing. It's
horrible. My my first
women to they say young lady. I watch it on television. I saw
somebody do this. It was on one of the game show. Somebody comes
down. Come on. Oh. So where are you from young lady.
The woman was 70 Yeah, that's That's messed up. Yeah, and
it happens commonly. I don't know where it can't come came
from but it's and I never noticed it before. But I noticed
a knock because it's happened to me about once every few months.
And I just I do
that once every few months. Oh, man. This is reason for
concealed weapon. Just pull that out. Say that again, punk. Yeah.
I've it's kind of a southern thing, kind of a Texas thing. I
was if I if a woman unknown to me ask me something. Or I need
to confirm something to say Yes, ma'am. I say ma'am, which I
think makes women feel old and crappy. But it's it used to be
just polite. And I think now it's it probably throws them
off.
Well, I know that 20 Somethings women really hate it. Yeah,
they've considered some sort of an insult. Yeah.
Well, my former by first boss Lex, who has the all the war
holes and all that. He's 72. Then he was at my birthday with

travels to Tehran all the time. Believe me, it's got like a big
fence around it. And everyone's like, ready to kill Americans?
Yeah, no,
you can go to you can
go there. Yeah. But he said, Dude, this shouldn't be your
last big birthday party. Because do you 60 or 65 people are dead.

there's a big bolt billboard that I think the architects and
engineers for 911 paid for and it shows a loop of video loop of
Trade Tower seven in freefall collapse think it says look at
the article here. I thought the image wasn't all that great, a
little bit a little confusing the way they did it, but just
Did you know A third tower fell on 911 Then it shows as their
website address then it shows the tower falling. The I'm glad
that someone's still doing that. Because that is one of they're
still
doing it all over the place. That one guy who's floating
around the architects for 911 truth at least lots of them.
Yeah. They're finally focusing on that tower. Yeah. fell fell
down. apparent reason?
Yeah, and we so that would be nice to understand that MSNBC
this morning was quite disturbing. They re aired in
real time. Time synchronized. The NBC Today show broadcast.
Very interesting to relive that. Yeah, it was it was
I was doing editing clips during this morning. But that's that's
why you do the show later. And I do. Well, even though it sounds
like we're doing it the same time in fact
very, very annoying how it just won't go away.
I wanted to do a lighthearted clip. Oh, this was a I was
flipping around and I rented this commercial. This is a I use
the word weird in the title. Yeah, this commercial is on
daytime television during soap operas, which of course soap
operas, business and tight commercial. Isn't that a
coincidence? Yes, but I found this to be one of the strangest
commercials and we it's worth trying to understand this woman
who's acts like she's kind of a drunk housewife. But this is a
very short I think it's 15 seconds. Or maybe 30 to 30 It's
a 30 Okay, wait, it's a 30 and it is a very, very strange
commercial.
With kids. You expect stuff like grass stains, but nobody warned
me about this. The boys start to smell. You're becoming a man.
This bag filled with his baseball clothes. Let's just say
it's got a powerful scent. But with tide sport, I just throw
the bag right in the wash clothes and all and it comes out
fresh as a daisy. Makes this pod thing easier on all of us. Acne
is coming next. Right? Tide sport. That's my tide. Plus.
I'm surprised I didn't mention wet dreams.
Puberty is coming next or no acnes coming next. She says and
she has the camera. And then she nods. And she says it is the
whole ad was very weird.
That is and yeah, you get it. Now you get to say at this time,
that's okay.
You get this anyway, that was well, that
was what we call
filler. Yeah, totally filler.
I have another bill that I'd like to discuss. Actually. It's
a joint resolution. So that's an SJ. Senate Joint Resolution
Number 19. And here is Senator Grassley complaining about this
is a Reed's First Amendment proposal,
Mr. President, with all the problems facing the country and
the world The majority has decided that the time has come
to cut back on the Bill of Rights to be amended for the
first time in our history. We hear from the other side
repeatedly that they revere the Constitution. But they want to
restrict the core of free speech. That is speech that
allows a self governing people to choose in the elections, the
people who will represent them. This proposed amendment would
enshrine in our Constitution, the ability of elected officials
to criminally punish those who would dare to criticize them
more than the elected officials think is reasonable. Sounds
legit. The amendment being proposed would put those who
would engage in political speech on notice that they may be
prosecuted for being active citizens. In our democracy. The
First Amendment creates a marketplace of ideas. When
people disagree on political speech, competing voices respond
to each other. And the public then Besides, when speech is
free, people are not shut up with the threat of jail if
government thinks they speak too much.
Now, I don't think that this will really make it anywhere
because an amendment is very, very difficult, but it just
gives you the thinking and I do want to read a few because no
one else will do this. Maybe congressional dish girl. This is
the joint resolution proposing an amendment, the house stuff.
Only house stuff? Yep. Okay, congressional. So they have a
lot of stuff. The following articles proposes an amendment
to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be
valid to all intents and purposes as part of the
Constitution when ratified by the legislature's of three
fourths of the several States, which is why it makes it so
difficult to get a constitutional amendment through
purposely so section one to advance democratic self
government and political equality and to protect the
integrity of government and the electoral process. Congress and
the states may regulate and set reasonable limits on the raising
and spending of money by candidates and others to
influence elections. Section two, Congress and the state
shall have power to implement and enforce this article by
appropriate legislation, and may distinguish between natural
persons and corporations or other artificial entities
created by law, including by prohibiting such entities from
spending money to influence elections, section three,
nothing in this article shall be construed to grant Congress or
the states have the power to abridge the freedom of the
press. So the idea here is there will be a limit and New York has
already started some of this with you have to report that's
how it starts report your what you've spent. But this is of
course, it's been it's been discussed and the Supreme Court
has talked about this to no end you cannot you can't do this.
It just oh you know, this is not a new topic for us we've
actually discussed this exact but here's
the here's the now read has put in the the actual paperwork
which is new not discussed. Not discussed anyway. It is
about the Koch brothers it's about Citizens United. It
doesn't really mention isn't really mentioned the the video
if you look at the list of all the great big donors, yeah,
there's one at the top that is way that Koch brothers aren't
even I think they're the top 10 may be Yeah, but they're not the
big spenders and there's he's got a couple organizations
mostly Demak to support the Democrats that this is part of a
campaign find out that I don't know what they're trying to
accomplish. They can't they just there's just assholes who get in
Congress. They just want to they don't want to compete anymore.
They just say I'm here I don't want to have to deal with all
this guys coming after me and get me voted out. I'm just got a
good deal going on. And then they blame the Koch brothers,
they you know, and they try to No, it's I don't know,
it's annoying. No, it's a no, I just want to point it out. I got
to a sound clip this morning from one of our producers
sysadmin mark in Chicago. And they have the Metra is the Metro
is that like a shopping center or something?
I don't know anything about the metro.
Let me just check to show the Metro Metro Rail Oh, Metro Rail,
of course the Chicago rail there you go. Okay. And he recorded
this is a very futuristic Hey, citizens type of recording
that he in the subway elevated.
Yes, and he recorded this this morning.
Today is the anniversary. February 11 2001. Veteran asks,
can you remain vigilant of your surroundings and notify Metro
employees of anything suspicious? If you see
something, say something. Love it.
Love Be vigilant on this anniversary of September 11.
This This is terrorism. You can't do this terrorism, that
Rand Paul, who I don't like had said had a very funny there was
a hearing about the militarization of the police
department, and how this is an obvious extension of the
military industrial complex, where we had surplus now it's
just using tax dollars to just sell more crap into the police
forces who of course, then look like armies. And there were two
clips that came out of this I thought was very, very funny.
First, this is I had no idea that this is part of the
equipment that is being given granted to police departments.
Mr. S. Tevez in the NPR investigation of the 1033
program, they list that 12,000 bayonets had been given out.
What purpose are bayonets being given out for him?
SENATOR BERNIE next are available under the program. I
can't answer what a local police force would need a bayonet I can
give you an answer None.
No, the sticks citizens weird obviously. Come on. It's
just so what's the what's President Obama's
administration's position on handing out bayonets to the
police force Shut
up slave was stick this ban out of your books on your list?
You guys create the list, you're going to take it off the list,
we're going to keep doing it.
We're going to look at what we are providing under the
administration's review of all these programs. So it's
unclear at this point where the President Obama approves of
12,000 bayonets being given out. I would think you can make that
decision last week.
I think we need to review all the equipment that we're
providing senator, as I said, we the Department of Defense do not
push any of this equipment on any police force. states decide
what they need.
I love it. I think that that's so old fashioned bayonets. Were
being it still used? Even ISIL doesn't have bayonets?
No. Why would you take you know a kid whatever model they're
using and man like World War One I love that bayonets
but you know what they're you know what if you're in a police
brag and just from my some understanding of government
work, you're at the police department and they got these
bayonets for sale on the list you get a list of stuff that you
can get you can get to and they're cheap. Like they have
this one of these giant troop things they some little area
there was a report on this they had this is big, armored,
armored thing, and they painted it white and put a red cross
thing on the side and they use it to evacuate, they're going to
use it to evacuate kids kids was at school shooting, and can the
kids will be safe in this thing. And he was like, oh shoot holds
like two classrooms. And it's you know, it makes some logical
sense. It cost them $5,000 This thing is probably you know, a
$250,000 vehicle, right? Well, the bandits are probably on the
list with similar discount, bayonets. $1 So, I'm the police
chief, and I'm looking at the list and I'm going Hey, Bill,
he's bayonets. I got bandits on this this for $1. Hey, man, I
want one I want one too. Hey, get me one. Today, even though
all these guys so they ordered 25 bandits and they handed out
to the cops, the cops take them home. And they have them in the
kitchen or something that using pre sliced beef they used in the
barbecue, and they're cut this huge bayonet,
I think they should have a handout mace balls.
They buy them they take them home.
For those of you don't know mace ball is one of those chains with
a with a ribbon, a good wall ball points solid points on it.
So there was something else that I learned from Senator Paul,
that I did not know about this gear
in FEMA as authorized equipment list. There's actually written
descriptions for how the equipment should be used, and it
says it's specifically not supposed to be used for Riot
suppression. Mr. Conroy? Is that true that is not supposed to be
used for riots suppression? And how do you plan on policing that
since the images show us clearly large pieces of equipment that
were bought with your grants being used in that riots
oppression? Senator Paul that protest suppression
that is accurate. The categories of personal protective equipment
that include helmets, ear and eye protection, ballistics
personal protective equipment, as a prohibition and the
authorized equipment list that is not to be used for riots
oppression.
And what will you do about it?
We're going to follow the lead of the Department of Justice's
investigation about the facts. We're going to work for the
State of Missouri to determine what pieces of equipment were
grant funded. And then we have a range of remedies available to
us. Should there be any finding of non compliance with those
requirements? Those include everything from corrective
action plans to ensure it doesn't happen again. recoupment
of funds. So we'll look very closely at the facts. But we're
going to allow the investigation to run its course and determine
what the appropriate remedy is.
So I didn't know that that was not allowed to be used. Because
I think that's what it's used for exclusively. Yeah,
that's what it's for. But it makes no sense. Yeah.
Interesting.
Can't use protective gear in riots. Oh, a day. Where do you
go? No, we bought this from TSA, Homeland Security, we can
protect those things off. Yes, at Derby cents, what would you
use it for instead?
Just to look cool.
The gas? Oh, no,
there was one more from the hill. There was a couple of
interest long, there was a couple of interesting sessions,
the IRS stuff continues. Of course, it just mourn. But no
one even reports on this anymore. I don't think because
this is the the how you This is how you increase the fever of
the sickness by whipping people around. You actually predicted
that in 2014. The six week cycle would end and you're correct. It
has ended because we're now in a six day cycle. We're being
whipped back and forth from you know, douchebags hitting their
wives to you know, Isobe blowing us up to the Russia, Putin, Koch
brothers. It's Oh, it's boggling, mind boggling. And
great. It is. Well, it's working. And so the IRS,
there's, you know, there's more evidence that blackberries were
destroyed. This is just the government is completely out of
control. The end this Cavalier conversation more this Cavalier
answer at the end of this clip proves that beyond any doubt, so
far, I'm not sure this is an IRS question got a clear answer on
one part of representative blanks questions.
This is a cosh Keenan, this is the hatchet man, the guy who's
supposed to be running the joint who came in to fix the IRS. He's
being questioned in Congress
if your income changes, or for some reason, there is an
overpayment of subsidies, there's a cap on your
overpayment depending upon your income. But if you were given,
for example, affordable, offer affordable insurance work, and
you don't take it you are not eligible period, the law is very
clear that all of that must be repaid. Will you be following
following the law in the collection of that, in that
instance, an ineligible substance?
That's somebody's ineligible. And as we see the credit, they
will be treated the way anybody else would be in our compliance
process.
No question was the law in that case, there is not a cap all of
the subsidy must be repaid. Will you be following the law in that
in that recapture?
Yes. Wherever we can we follow the law. We can otherwise Forget
it. That's That's what he's saying. And that's how they
think of their Yeah, we're gonna we can otherwise
what are you gonna do about it? Yeah. Wow, that's actually a
very, very revealing clip.
That is that is. That's how they think
this is the truth. Yeah, everyone's always somehow they
they're always telling the truth. Yes, exactly how they
were talking about little clips where people make gaffes. But
this is only a very short clip, there was a some Muslim
recruiter from Minnesota. That's apparently, you know, getting
kids to join ISIL or ISIS. Yeah, this
is where they're all coming from.
Yeah. So there's so this now this guy, there's some guys gone
missing. And that didn't play the whole clip about this guy. I
just want you to listen to the very subtle little errors that
Megyn Kelly makes that makes you wonder who she really working
for.
He would make contact on the campus, and he would meet with
him. That's the
guy that we interview, FBI interviewed over 30 times that
he was arrested in Kenya, he's brought back to the United
States, and now he's missing. And we don't know where he is.
But he's suspected of some recruitment or possibly possibly
even being a double agent working for us.
Sure, no question. He was.
So now she says, We and this is I mean, the FBI at the
beginning, so she worked for the FBI that she would make that
gaffe. I mean, it's not the kind of thing I think I'd say, Oh,
she's she's a total asset. And then she goes on then what she
comes up with is off the wall double agent think I've
never heard that. There's a CNN
mill is talking about this guy being a double agent with CNN
tonight
has a special I just caught the promo this morning on the corner
of my eye. And it's the CIA spy for al Qaeda. They've got their
overdramatizing everything and of course the lines blur, then
it's this is it, John, this is it. You and I are witnessing the
actual destruction of society, I think it's a possibility. And
instead of Nero playing the harp, we're all fiddling with
our iPhones.
While while chicken, I didn't get enough likes the HA, let me
like that. And if you'd like that, if you'd like me, I'd like
you.
After the show. We have to come up with a name because someone
else is going to turn this some bull crap professor. Yeah, no,
buddy.
No, no, no, they're not gonna happen. They're all in
everybody's in on this, including probably a lot of our
listeners on this whole being sucked into this tech tech scene
of Facebook and Netflix and smartphones and smartphones.
Right, right. That's the truth. I would just say it's
triad, the tribe, the tribe triad,
Facebook, guys, smartphones and Netflix. Yep. And by the way,
did you know that you can get Facebook and Netflix on your
smartphone?
Oh my gosh. Oh, my God. That's
all I have a little longer clip, which I'd like to be the last
clip for me. As our buddy James Pennebaker, from the University
of Texas, has released another report. This is the the
professor who I met. But before I met him, I'd already studied
what he does, he wrote the performative paper.
Right. And you right, we've talked about this about a year
ago.
Yeah, I guess. So performative is when politicians do this very
well. I want to tell the American people that and then
you say something, so it doesn't mean that it's truth. You just
telling the American people something?
No, you What would you say is true that you wanted to tell
them that? Yeah, that's correct. That is
the truth. I wanted to tell the American people that then that's
what I want to tell you doesn't mean it's the truth. It's the
truth that I want to tell you. That's a performative he has now
he has now it's like, yeah, like and he is an SEO he was on NPR
very long piece, I clipped it down to about two and a half
minutes well worth it. Where else can you really get to the
meat and potatoes of this stuff? First about the well just
listen, it's about words that people use, and how that affects
their social standing, which I think is relevant to our
analysis of the triad of Facebook, smartphones and
Netflix. And then also the balance of relationship. What
how people use a particular word, and what that means for
their standing in the relationship. Just listen, it
becomes apparent well worth listening to this is about how
we speak. I find it fascinating. I really liked what this guy's
doing.
About 20 years ago, a psychologist at the University
of Texas at Austin named James Pennebaker got interested in
looking more closely at the words that we use. Rather, he
got interested in looking more closely at a certain subset of
the words that we use
the this though, I,
this is Animaker, reading off a list of the kinds of words I'm
particularly interested in. They're called function words.
function words are essentially the filler words very, these are
the words we don't pay attention to. And they're the ones that
are what's so interesting
filler words, write that down who they're that
now according to the way that Pennebaker or language, there's
another set of words content words, these content words
Pennebaker says, are heftier, unlike function words definitely
conjure a specific image in your mind. You read some examples,
school, family, live, friends? Well, the way I think about it
is I speak bad Spanish. And hard if I'm in a conversation pair,
when I'm listening to the other person speak, I am just trying
to find out what are they talking about? I'm listening to
implied where when are those big content, heavy words shy, all
those little words in between the is et cetera. I don't pay
attention to those because they're just too complex for me
to pay attention to
insects as Pennebaker. Even in our native language, these
function words are basically invisible to
us. You can't hear them even though you and I are talking you
and I are not processing what the other person says in terms
of these function words. Humans just aren't able to do it.
Humans aren't
able to do it, but computers are. So one of the things that
Pennebaker did was transcribed conversations that took place
between people on Beat dates to see how the couples used
function words. This is what he found, we can
predict by analyzing their language, who will go on a date
who will match at rates better than the people themselves.
Specifically what Pennebaker found was that in the speed
dating context, when the language style of two people
matched, that is, when they used these function words in similar
ways at similar rates, they were much more likely to contact each
other later to go on a date.
And this is even cooler. We can even look at if we are dating.
Let's say we're a young dating couple. That more similar we are
using this language style matching metric, the more likely
you and I will still be dating three months from now, when two
people are paying close attention, they use language the
same. And it's one of these things that humans do
automatically.
They aren't aware of it. He says that by analyzing people's use
of function words, you can easily tell who among two people
has more power in a relationship, their relative
social status,
and it's amazingly simple. Listen to the relative use of
the word I mean, the results are completely different from what
most people would think the person who has the higher status
uses the word AI less
I love this guy are you still on that was gonna go on now that's
it know that?
You know that guy? Tony Robbins? Who does? Neuro Linguistic
Programming? Yeah, he he's into this he did he actually I think
he trains people to do this. I think and a lot of sales people
have come out of various systems, I think his is one of
them. The old est, Earhart's sensitivity training used to
also produce a lot of salespeople. And it also it also
produces addicts to the system, which is the drawback when not
for Airhart obviously, or any of these other systems. There's a
bunch of them. And there's elements of this in Scientology.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. Mirroring all kinds of stuff like this, but ya know,
it's no good stuff. So we need to be I really liked the the
case that people in a relationship the person who uses
the word I more often is more broadly, what do you say
subjective? No,
there are no there there the lesser the status in terms of
status there below the other person? Yes. I, this i that i
this and you said, the funny thing is you kind of sense that
when you're with somebody, I'm just kind of imagining that I
sense it. But when you're with somebody who just talks about
themselves, and they constantly use AI, you always think of them
as very inferior. Or at least I do,
I haven't but now I'm going to pay attention. I had no idea I
had no idea maybe I'm just inferior because I say the joke
about
that was enough about me. What do you think that that would
that stems from? And a lot of people in show business? No.
Yeah. Or that way they just talk about themselves constantly. I
have something as off the wall but it is part of my long term
plan to actually do my about my second Ebola report. Ah, this is
not about the origins of Ebola or anything like that. It's
about what is going on and what we're trying to accomplish with
the current Ebola outbreak and this is the one this is was on
front landers are pretty good frontline thing Yes, I
saw I saw this this was so dramatized then I have some I
actually wrote down some thoughts about this to talk to
you about it.
Okay. Well, this is the only part that I think is
interesting, which is the Ebola hoax meme, which was created in
the in Sierra Leone by I don't know who or why, but it's been
causing problems there. And I and I'm still still part of my,
the structure I'm beginning to see this Yeah,
my kind of my third largest town in Sierra Leone. Rumors about
the virus have brought people onto the street. My story is
going round that Ebola is a hoax, a trick devised by doctors
to steal people's blood. The rioters are trying to break down
the hospital gates and rescue the patients inside.
The police use tear gas and fire live bullets to disperse the
rioters. But the rumors that Ebola is a hoax mean that more
victims hide in their homes, infecting their families and
neighbors.
general observations I found this frontline doc Comanche
except for this seen the pretty much everything they showed. It
didn't seem like this huge epidemic. There wasn't a lot
it's it seemed very content free on the visuals. You know what we
can't go in there we can't show this we only show this one woman
who has fever and she's laying outside her house and
well, they had that one woman in the in the you know and her
husband in the containment. And then he died and she lived on
she went back with the family, right? I don't I mean, it's not
like me, if you look at the numbers when this began, which
was a couple of months ago, we're only up to about 1500
dead. This is not the movie outbreak, know, where, you know,
you have the map and the whole world's dead you know, within
two weeks, right? This is I think, which brings me to what
the point I'll be making about this whole thing. I still think
it's to the outs to the workers that have to deal with it. It's
kind of out of control because they can't get anyone to go
along with anything can't get him to go into the into the
containment they can't you know they like he said they're all
staying at home and affecting everybody's realized just
corpses I see
a different differently. What this is effectively doing and
just reading some headlines here British military is being sent
to fight Ebola. Like, hey, we're here. I got my bayonet.
I don't know what that that's I don't know what any of that is
got to Well, I don't understand why and until it is a military
thing.
I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try and explain. US military will
provide equipment resources to battle Ebola epidemic in Africa,
Washington Post, this is killing the economies of these
countries. That is the underreported part. They are the
people aren't going to work. Everything is stopped that
there's no there's no no one wants to bring crap in. There's
no food. This is killing these economies. Then that's why any
military who then of course, if they can't they can't catch
Ebola, because they've got goggles, and bayonets. And they
will then there'll be a humanitarian mission. And the
first thing we do from a humanitarian standpoint is kick
the Chinese out of all these places, which conveniently is
where all the oil is in Nigeria. The this is it's a brilliant
strategy to grab Africa. That's the part that West Africa will
have. But Nigeria is not West Africa. Yeah, it is. I would say
it's more central Nigeria.
I think it's considered West Africa.
Really? Alright, West Africa, then.
Well, that's where we want to West Africa is the area that
we've always had a lot of connections.
We tried to we tried to get into Nigeria with the Boko Haram save
our daughters crap, that where's that? Gone? No one cares. So
Ebola is great. It is killing the economy's you can just
search around on the internet for stories. And it's at a
standstill so nothing is moving. People are going to start
getting hungry and they're very afraid. And the eye of course, I
don't know about the hoax to steal blood.
I think it's very creative.
Here in America, we have to keep up the appearance of how bad it
is
minutes after the hour there may be a lot more Ebola victims
being evacuated to the United States. Then we are being told
about the vice president of the Phoenix air group and air
ambulance company under contract with the State Department
confirms his pilots have transported quote, a lot of
other people who have been exposed to the deadly virus, how
many Exactly? He's not saying and one of the four Americans
infected by Ebola that we have been told about has arrived at
Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for treatment, his
identity is not being released. Meanwhile, in West Africa, the
outbreak continues the death toll near 2300 With more than
4200 confirmed or suspected cases, and the World Health
Organization predicts that number could soon top 20,000.
This massive Africa published by researchers at Oxford shows 15
nations that experts predict are now at risk for Ebola outbreaks.
Big area
big area big area.
So don't be afraid. Support the military missions. help the poor
black people in Africa.
But I think this is a multi dimensional which I'll discuss
in some other show. All right. When I get put down I get too
many long long clips. I do have a long clip for today
as an end of show clip. Well it could be because I've got some
I've got the music playing you know I'm done.
You always complained that you can do it. There's a this is too
long and we do it some let's do it Sunday blues Sunday. This is
the Facebook case it's going to be for the Supreme Court.
Can we do it Sunday, so we're gonna have a whole Facebook
sickness segment to do that. It's time John. You always
complain to me when we go along here.
I do this time to end the show. And I have a fever and I'm gassy
and Okay, yeah,
okay. I thought you know, Feeling good? You sound great so
this is a funny thing about you You always say you're sick now
I'm gonna
think fresh I'm a professional I am a professional I look the I
look like death warmed over
all right well let's end this show you're right we actually we
are all ready to realize it was this late Yeah, we'll be back on
Sunday we're gonna remind people to keep helping us out with
contribution specially we will never contributed you know, we
do get you know, they mentioned and when they do that, I would
like to get some newbies in here to help us out here once in a
while to instant nights that would be get nice indeed.
So we'll be back on Sunday coming to you from FEMA Region
six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley. I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll be back on Sunday right here on no agenda.
I'm Joe Biden, and thank you for taking the time to listen. Adios
