You guys are kinda entertaining, but I'm out. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak.
Sunday, November 9 2014. Time for your Gitmo nation media
assassination episode 668. This is no agenda removing my entire
catalogue from Spotify here and FEMA Region six in the capital,
the drone Star State Austin Tejas in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where Spotify has rejected. John
C. Dvorak. Bulls kill
us, right. But I am standing beside Taylor Swift. I denounce
Spotify.
Now old news, it's all part of that publicity campaign, this
woman is on Bucha, she will be the richest entertainment in the
history of entertainment. The richest woman in entertainment
in the history of entertainment. By the time she's through,
she'll be worth I don't know how many billions,
especially if she keeps her music off Spotify. Well, that
will make her even richer.
You know, it was like the last little she was getting
publishers on every show one after another, it's talking
about this layout. And then she finally kicks off the whole
thing, she finally gets her last bit in this spot, and then you
won't hear from her for six months, I want to talk about
publicity in the manner that she does it. Based on I worked with
Adam Osborne, who was a Publicity Hound. And he had a
very interesting theory. And I've always thought about this,
when you know, people say, Well, you can do it for good
publicity, or, or whatever they say. He had this thesis, that
publicity, it takes the form of a wave. And the only way it's
ever effective, is if you get a lot of it at once. Yeah, it
has to be just a big tsunami of a tsunami
of PR. And that's why she was on the Today show. She was on all
the talk shows. She was here she was singing on Good Morning,
America, she was everywhere. And then they just kicked it. They
just say to put the icing on the cake to have this bonafide story
played out as though it's news, who cares what she does with her
music. But she's a busy day, she either understands us or she or
the people working for her, the publicist system working for her
must, there's just at the top of their game.
That said,
I do feel that there's a little bit of information needed for
people about how these services work. Because I was very
interested by this PR move, I paid very close attention to
what was being said. And it is apparent to me that pretty much
nobody, particularly people who write about this for a living
really know how any of this stuff works.
Do you? Yeah, know how it works?
Or do you think? Or do you asking me do I think that nobody
knows what they're doing in the business? And they're just, you
know, doing what? No,
I think the thing that I'd like to just point out is that this
is a scam these Spotify in particular. But Pandora and now
we have another one coming up Sound Cloud. I don't know if you
read the they've, they've just signed their first deal with a
major label with two more to come who we can't name yet.
Well, there's only three, three that you can name. But I just
wanted. I just want people to understand that, that this is a
bonanza for record companies, because they are the investors
in all of these companies. Yeah, but none of my people
know artists are the ones that get screwed
as artists. Well, it's even better than that.
If like somebody pointed out you have millions and millions of
downloads can result in like a nickel or a dime to and
here's the thing that's interesting with Spotify, which
is which is very different from Pandora, Pandora is seen as a
streaming, non interactive service, which there's a huge
distinction very important. Spotify, they do not pay per
stream. This is the this is what people get wrong continuously.
So it's not how many times you played the song, ah, they have
three different levels of of using the music through their
system. One is the free with ads. One is the premium and then
you have I think the ultimate and the way they've done it so
when they say oh well we send 70% of all our revenues to the
music. What do they call the music community? To the labels,
obviously, but the way it's the way it's calculated is they look
at their entire pot of money, but they split it out in these
three groups. So the value of one play from the from The
advertising pool is lower than from the Ultimate Pool. And the
way they do it is they look at their total revenue for the
quarter in these three buckets. And then then say, Okay, how
many plays was that in total? And then they divide and then
whatever that number is 70% of that goes to the record
companies add in, and then they chop it down by okay. We made
100 million this quarter. I don't know what they don't think
they made it that much. But then you had x number of spins for
that 100 million gross revenue, this is your piece of it. So it
can differ wildly, not only how well they did, overall, but also
by revenue pool.
I wonder how many younger folk in our audience say to
themselves when you have to finish that sentence? Hmm,
what's a spin?
It Well, it's, it's like dialing a number on your telephone, it's
the same thing. It's a dialing, same thing. And, and so what's
interesting to me is that that the net result because the the
vast number of people use Spotify, or really the free
users who only who listened with ads, or the premium service, I
don't think it's that many ultimate. And these guys are
owned by the record companies who then have zero cost the way
they used to me, you have to understand them. But when they
were doing physical product, give 25% packaging fees of
something that's that still exist on iTunes, they still
charge 25% packaging fee for nothing for something that's not
even packaged anymore. So what really goes to the artist at the
end is very low. But the thing that is, is crazy is the
songwriters, the publishing. So if you and I write a song, then
we each would own 50% of the publishing. And that is that,
that the the fee you get per spin, I'll say it again, for the
writer of the song on internet has been determined, you know, I
think at 9095 they they put together this, this default
amount, and it's so infinitesimally small that you
there's no way you can survive as a songwriter performer. Yeah,
you might be able to, if you're really selling some product,
mainly through iTunes, but if you wrote the song, if you wrote
the song, forget about it. So what I what I love seeing is how
people feel that they have such a right to their streams and
streaming music on Spotify for their 995 a month. But we will
wind up with an impoverished art form is going to absolutely,
we're going to wind up with an impoverished art form it I
think, at least from my perspective, all the best musics
already been written. Wow, Come on, Dad stuffs coming out the
Taylor Swift 1989 album. That's the hot selling product right
now and you're telling me that that holds a candle to say any
Beatles album,
by the way Beatles none available on Spotify. Well,
there you have it, because they actually still like making
money. This is this is this is what's so interesting about it.
I just love the I just love seeing people getting all
righteous about Taylor Swift he's rich man screw her screw
these rich artists 95 That's where all I should pay for all
my music ever in the world. So SoundCloud is the same thing the
this it's all about the IPO for the investors who are the record
companies the screwing this is the final big screw job.
I don't think so. I don't think it's the final they're gonna
screw find other ways to screw the public. Oh, you know, it'll
continue
but the SoundCloud wouldn't win them after Spotify IPOs which is
going to happen then there's the next one that's lined up his
SoundCloud and then and there may be another one it may but
it's the same model over and over again.
If you got a big gun, shoot it Yeah, I come from the music
business
guys are geniuses at what they do this but they do.
But I come from the music business. I feel bad. I just
look at this and go oh, man, you're part of the
problem. Why am I part of the problem? Because you're in that
business.
I'm not in that business. I had to get out of that business
kind of absentee way.
Yeah. Oh, no. That's like saying you you're part of the problem
in the technology press arena.
Totally.
Yeah, you're right you I guess Yeah. You are part of the
problem. I am You are the problem. I'm the
broadcast. Can't take credit where credit is
all right. Well then let me read you from the Wall Street
Journal. Do you recall I did an interview with the Wall Street
Journal about to advertising, podcast advertising?
Yes, I do recall that this is a moment where we're having a lot
of strange publicity around circling around the drain of
podcasts. Yeah.
And this, I think I told you that I don't I didn't expect
that all to be mentioned in this article. I didn't think the guy
was really listened to what I was saying, and why should he?
And also what can well, because he called and he said, I want to
listen to you rather talk to Taylor Swift. No, I don't think
so. And I will say again, John, I always say our show, I always
say John C. Dvorak. But you know what happens, right?
Yeah. Well, you're an inventor of podcasting. Why are they
mentioned anyone else? But
when I talk about our show, I talk about our show, but it
rarely is written that way. So we've had words about this in
the past. So I just want you to know that I the way they wrote
it is not because I said it that way,
as long as the show, to be honest about it, as long as they
spell the name of the show correctly. Yes, they which is
the stretch.
So I'll read the this is about that. That derivative, podcast
from the This American Life people, it's all about it. All
these articles are all about NPR politics, and posturing making
money. It's all about NPR podcasts. So the here I'll just
grab a couple of little quotes, but I'm at the end with my quote
at the end of the article. So the most popular shows aren't
exactly cheap and MailChimp, the email marketing company that
sponsors cereal that's that. That new NPR podcast says it
pays between 25 to $40. CPM
tie, which is sorry, you're paying too much.
On average, pre roll ads on YouTube costs an average $17.
CPM, according to data firm, sq ad. Let's just explain that to
our listeners. For those who don't know, CPM is cost per
mille. Yeah. Which just means cost per 1000. Yes, cost per
mille. It's French for some reason, I thought it would be
late, snappy advertising talk,
hey, I think CPT has a specific meaning that's different. So
they had to use CPM. Really good. But that's what I'm
guessing it shouldn't be CPT.
So the concept here is for every 1000 People who downloaded the
podcast, which of course doesn't mean they've heard it well that
on and on and on. The they would charge 25 to $40. And K indeed,
46% of serials, website views come from mobile devices. So
there's 45% come from now this is a guy who writes for
advertisers in the Wall Street Journal I had advertisers. I
think you're now able to grow what used to be a type of
content that was only available through download now you're able
to stream it at anytime without having to download a device to a
device Mr. Cohen said if God knows where he's from, as a
result, Mr. Cohen said his company's 0% growth prediction
was more for the old world of podcasts as they became more
keen to internet radio that forecast to change and blahdy
blahdy blah. The concern several years ago was that people were
downloading and not listening said Mark McCreary, CEO of pod
track and pod drag they they do metrics they count downloads and
they send their an ad seller right they sell ads to
Yeah, you commonly will see the pod track operation when you're
going to a blog or website where there's a link to like the
podcast there'll be an intermediary if you look at the
link itself, it usually goes through you know what's it's
called again, a forwarding thing I forgot what
tracker let's just call it a bug
tracker but it's it does anyway it's but you see the shoes URL
which has got this other guy's in there.
And then he says that question goes away to the extent that the
content is consumed on connected mobile devices everyone is
trying to compensate for the fact that we don't have a real
accredited or viewed as accredited Nielsen rating of
podcast at which they would love to be but they can't really
prove that can't prove they can prove a thing. Of course not
every podcast will be a hit. Though MailChimp Marketing
Director Mark de Christina says he had a feeling it would be a
smart buy, largely because of the show's partnership with the
successful This American Life program with which MailChimp
also has advertised the advertising not under
advertisers
the word and they call it the Gollum there. Yes, sorry. Well,
I got that in his
head. Okay, ready for the kicker for the end. This is the last
two paragraphs of the entire article. Sure. Well, the major
shows might be the ones attracting significant brand
dollars. Podcasts can also thrive without advertising.
According to Adam curry, an early podcaster and host of the
no agenda show, Mr. Curry and known by some as the pod father,
thanks hit to his role in the movements early days. The fog is
that does not Unlike an old fart does not use advertisers on his
show. Quote, you don't need a million people listening to
create something and it be sustainable and grow over time.
Mr. Curry said, I personally liked that because I don't have
to have any meetings and show anybody how many downloads I've
had. End of Article.
That's what you said, apparently.
Sounds like me. I liked that having advertised because I
don't have that many meetings.
Well, some of the be said for that.
We always say, Yeah, meetings.
I can just see people going one was was kind
of a douche bag. Like American, he doesn't like meeting
this guy's no good. Doesn't like meetings. That's the takeaway.
That was lame.
I kind of like it in a lame kind of way. But it
is lame. And it is likable. I'm not saying that. It's not
likable. It's just lame.
I was involved early on with podcasting. That's what it is.
Now. I've been relegated to that.
I was involved early on.
I was breathing during that time. So there you go.
Being involved early on and having the first quote unquote
technically, quote unquote, podcast the first. That's not
Yeah, it's different.
It's like saying Henry Ford was involved in car manufacturing.
Well, he did not No, he did not. He did not invent the car. It
was doesn't Arbor wasn't it?
Let's save them read this to say they're involved in invented the
modern manufacturing. He says okay, let's say Henry Ford was
involved in modern manufacturing. It'd be kind of
like missing the point. Yeah. Anyway, good. Their publicity
bandwagon. Compared to Taylor Swift.
I don't need you. I am a regular post away and the Taylor Swift
and podcast promotion. That's what I
post away. We just didn't quite turn the corner on the
way we needed the tsunami. And we got it. We got a trickle.
Dammit. We got a tap opening up. A leak. Yes, a leak. Indeed.
Presidential proclamations Veterans Day, of course. So my
presidential proclamation. That'll be Monday, I presume
Veterans Day. Is that Monday?
I don't know. Is it?
I think so. Let me say there was a lot of a lot of these. No, no,
no, seven that we missed it. It was Friday. Friday. Yeah, I
guess that was Veterans Day. Geez.
I didn't notice.
Well, the President has a concert of course.
Oh, yeah. Well, he definitely doesn't have to go out of his
house. He it
wasn't worth flipping brings
the concert to him.
It wasn't worth clipping. But he you know, he always likes to be
on stage with all the artists and oh, yeah, yeah. So he was
onstage with Willie Nelson singing on the road again. On
the road again. Yeah, right. But he was very uncomfortable to
watch.
Yeah, because Willie Nelson was stoned. The President shouldn't
deal with this district of Columbia vote for marijuana.
That's not it's the Congress. The Republican Congress is
supposed to deal with this. This is not going to be this is gonna
be actually quite humorous.
And Veterans Day now shared with World Freedom Day. Why? I'm not
sure why. But it is the story of Berlin.
Yeah, we talked about being veterans but we're always doing
dissing them and thought Yeah, I think yeah, he's.
So this is in in conjunction with the celebrations of the
Berlin Wall coming down. I personally was very disappointed
that they did not have the Hof performing once again, as we
know that David has brought the wall the one who brought it they
did have his Madame too. So wax figurine in front of
it, like into like to add 200 yards.
Yeah, so that was that was a really fabulous. You know, I
learned something today. Actually yesterday. So there
were big celebrations in Poland are celebration. That's not fair
to say, but because of the Wall coming down. There were a lot of
events. And let me just grab this one. This is there was
there was an I think, Holocaust museum opening up, and that's
why Roman Polanski was there. Filmmaker
Roman Polanski has been questioned by Polish prosecutors
in connection with a US extradition request over in 1977
Six Crime conviction. Polanski presented himself to authorities
in the southern Polish city of Krakow. But prosecution
officials decided not to detain him. The filmmaker pleaded
guilty in 1977 to having unlawful syncs with 13 year old
Samantha guymer during a champagne and drug filled
photoshoot, and at the time, he spent 42 days in jail as part of
a 90 day plea bargain bars he fled the country the following
year for leaving the judge hearing the case could overrule
the deal in jail him for years. In 2009, Polanski was arrested
in the Swiss city of Zurich on a 31 year old US warrant and
placed under house arrest. But Swiss authorities also decided
not to extradite him to the United States.
So I was curious about this now that it's been over 30 years.
And I think, you know, everyone's kind of like, okay,
right. I was drug fueled photoshoots. And whatever. Never
I probably okay, now after three decades. But why this condom?
Why do they want this guy so bad? And I asked around, do you?
Have you ever thought about this?
Well, there's a couple of things. One is the is the case
itself, there's a good documentary on it. And about
then the guy was going to overturn the plea deal, and
screw him. And so that's why he fled. Otherwise, why would he
write makes no sense. But that was 30 years ago, and that was
30 years ago. And you'd think that I, you know, if you've got
something that's more than just an angry American judiciary
system, I'd be interested.
Well, from the way it was explained to me, and this is
also the genesis of Polish jokes in America.
And it was one now I'll have to I will put that aside, okay,
because I'm not buying that. But let's go with let's go with put
to you by whom,
by a Polish native. Okay, then we have we have Polish
producers, and as you know, the Polish are already quite pissed
at the United States over this visa waiver program that they're
not in. It's very hard for Polish citizens to get down
there not an esta and of course, we were
the guys who helped us the most in the Iraq War. Okay, so
now we're getting to Moishe. Now you're getting close. The way it
was explained to me is the Hollywood Jews hate Poland,
because they still feel that Poland was responsible for a lot
of the genocide, as they they that they helped the Nazis.
That that is, that is a genuine belief. They think that the
Polish sold them out.
Yes. And of course, Dachau, and Auschwitz are all in Poland. And
that this is what they're so pissed at this guy because he's
polish. Roman Polanski was is Polish. And they just they just
hit these like, we have Steven Spielberg gets Oscars, Roman
Polanski wanna throw him in jail. And that is where this and
I'm buying into I think that there is that there is this
anger? From a certain certain, certainly a large selection of
Jews who are descendants of up survivors or non survivors of
the Holocaust, who blame Poland, although I don't know if that is
necessarily true.
But this is a bit of a stretch of this, this graduate go on
this long and be targeting him.
Well, it could just be a longtime message, you know, but
that that is what came up. I was like, wow, that's okay. I
actually buy that. I see no other reason. It isn't it makes
no sense. Any other reason? And that's where I started to read
into the early Hollywood really started to do a lot of the
Polish jokes it right after the Second World War. And that's
where a lot of the writers came up with these jokes and was all
as explained to me I have no proof specifically, I didn't
research it that far. Is that Hollywood at the time was champ
does this make the pole locks look dumb pole locks stupid. And
it was still because of that grudge leftover from World War
Two.
Well, the Polish jokes did not come about I because I was
fortunate enough to take a number of folklore courses at
the University of California taught by Alan Dundas who is a
joke collector. And he also is a joke analyst and he would
analyze joke structures, including elephant jokes,
Cripple jokes, Polish jokes, all The rest of the idea
was this was Nazi German subhuman intelligence jokes that
were adapted and turned around to be boomerang back at the
polish.
It could be some Polish jokes are brought to America by German
displaced persons fleeing war torn Europe in the late 1940s.
Polish jokes became common remaining some of the some of
the spread of such jokes under the Nazis is like the Nazis
promoted these jokes. So this kind of kind of puts a little
ramp into Hello,
deflect it. Yeah, that's right, those guys did it. Those Polish
guys, hey, where were the camps? Poland?
Oh, that's an interesting thesis. And I mean, there's
nothing you can do to prove that thesis. But it's I can see
people believing it. Why can I get around passing it to you?
I've been very clear that was passed on to me that I have no
proof but I did. I've always been I know
you've been baffled by this this Polanski that 31 years. And when
you think the statute of limitations and everything in
between would be in play? Yeah. I mean, murderers go longer than
this. And less time. And yeah. Some fishy about it. You're
right.
But so that was the best explanation.
At this point. Even the girl herself doesn't, ya
know, and she's already forgiven him. And that's all been, you
know, these days. If you just look at, I have an article here.
These days, you know, 13 years old. Yeah, of course. It's legal
in the Vatican to have sex with someone who's 13 years old.
Yeah, drug fueled parties in the Vatican are few and far between
that's says you
swell.
They may be partying it up. How do you know? You know, know that
for sure. What is this? Your teachers told sex at 13 is a
normal part of growing up. Is it just a recent article? That was
in the UK? Is the attitudes change over time? But not the
attitude towards Roman Polanski. That's I just thought it was an
interesting that that popped up again, I'm just no agenda
thinking. You know, I'm so why why why? Why? Why? Who cares? No
one's when's the last or what's the last movie he made?
Because a lot of movies he did a couple of them recently. Really?
If I walk down the street when people know Roman Polanski or
Taylor Swift
he doesn't push the movies as Roman Polanski presents. He just
does a lot of films.
Okay. When was the last one though?
That's recent.
2007 2008 Quiet chaos.
Oh, that was a big
hit. No. But what he directed was as a director I don't think
is see he did a short in 2012 carnage the ghost Gomez odd man
out he's done. This. Oh, the pianist he did that?
Yeah, he won three Academy Awards for it. Right but he
didn't show up of course. Well, he did it to send a video in
Yeah, no, he's active.
Okay, well since we're on on comedy for a moment Robin
Williams toxicology results release this has been just
beautiful to read the to read all the articles about this
Yeah, when I know what you're going to say and I'll help you
out when you say it Okay,
Associated Press. Robin Williams autopsy found no alcohol or
illegal drugs brain dead clear the results released by the
Marin County Sheriff's Office found that the actor taking
prescription medications but in therapeutic concentrations and
they do not even mention which
don't tell you what the name of drugs
are even or even what what the makeup of the drugs were right
What the What the What pharmaceuticals were in it
nowhere. At least the press is so afraid of pissing off the
pharmaceutical industry right because they're big advertisers
that they just pay it was it was no illegal drugs okay, you don't
really had the good legal stuff. And of course the assertion is
that it's like all this anyone who has PSTD when they're given
the illegal drugs you know there's a high suicide rate this
is rare this is this is an epidemic This is very, very,
very bad.
As one of our producers pointed out these these drugs and
there's there's a laundry list of them the reasons of warning
about thoughts of suicide is not necessarily because the drugs
make you kill yourself. It's that the drugs release certain
inhibitions that would keep you from killing yourselves under
normal circumstances because you're not that stupid. Yeah.
But they because this is released go You know, it might
not be a bad idea for me to kill myself and boom, you do it.
It's funny last night I was watching Lisa Ling. She has this
CNN show, which is strange show, it's always about hookers and
drugs. And she was with a group of veterans who have post
traumatic stress disorder, the who all said the same thing
about the medication, that they didn't really want to kill
themselves, but they felt less inhibited. To just do it just to
release the pain not really, because they wanted to kill
themselves, but it was only when they took the antidepressants.
And then I had a beer with my, my buddy, the ex banker, and
asked him about the,
you know, and Robin was was before he got into these
clinics, when he was using cocaine, which is a very, you
know, it's a big use of cocaine, drank a lot, drank a lot of
drunk a lot, drank a lot, and did a lot of other things. He
never killed himself.
No, he was quite funny. Actually. He was funny, had a
good time. All right, and we have proof he didn't kill
himself while he was doing all that because he didn't kill
himself. So I had a beer with my buddy, the Bank of X banker, and
the big banker. Yeah. And asked him about the the suicide from
by the Deutsche Bank guy. Oh, yeah. And, and he knew, my buddy
knew him quite well, via like, they traveled together, they'd
done stuff, you know, they'd done business, you know, he was
I think he kind of mentored him in a way. And he said, Man, I
really, really don't know I really don't understand it.
Other than that, well, the Whisper on the street is that he
was hiding some really horrible personal secret lies, if, you
know you don't believe that you traveled with the guys and now
but he, the extrapolation was without me really having to say
anything that he might have been a little depressed about some
things at work and that he had been prescribed antidepressants.
And, and he had hung himself and that which is another thing, you
know, this hanging business you know, just seems like a jumping
off the bridge, I can see that which is which is another
favorite of, of drug illegal drug infused sites, suicidal
thoughts. It's just this man, that's just sad that we can't
really get any real reporting on this. And then that no one seems
to give a crap. Robin Williams Oh, my Twitter changed my
Twitter icon. Oh, I grew up with him. But no one cares. Hello.
Maybe we could save somebody else. Yeah.
I think there's a point we made on the show a
million times. Yeah, but not not everyone has listened a million
times. They should some. Sometimes you have to. You have
to reiterate stuff. It's okay.
Yeah, but I you know, I saw the same thing. It was just like a
brother.
Isn't that nuts though? Illegal drugs. The
only the illegal drugs or, or the illegal drugs are fine.
Yeah. Nobody ever assumes that you did something because of the
legal drugs. Now, of course now and they don't even make but
again, it's because of the advertising. That's easy. Let's
just, let's just make it clear that the beginning of this show
pointed out two things. One, besides Adam getting job by The
Wall Street Journal, it was about the advertising in that
article. And it's about the advertising and this material
about Robin Williams. It's always about the advertising.
That is why you have to support the no agenda show. Yeah. In a
roundabout way. Yeah.
Do you want to do it now? Or, because that might as well okay.
In the morning to you John C. Dvorak. Thank you for your
courage
in the morning you Adam curry in the morning all ships at sea
boots on the ground subs in the water and all the games and
nights out there in the morning
to everybody in the chat room. No agenda stream.com Good to
have you all there lined up ready to go in the morning to
all of our artists who are making good use of Sir Paul's
revamped no agenda art generator.com Thank you native
camp for the art that we use, which was a good piece of art
with the boot and the We Are the World and the Africa. That was a
nice piece. It really fit well with the with the whole theme of
the show.
Can you remember? Yes, it was dynamite.
Although I don't believe we've had native camp ever credited
for any of the looking forward to what you'll come up with
today. And as John already mentioned, because we don't have
an don't take as I'm sorry, as a noted by the Wall Street
Journal. We Hey, we take no meetings here. But we can also
really start to talk Talk about the things that are not
mentioned because of the advertising. That's because our
producers who are listening audience who we call producers
are supporting our program. They are producers. Yeah, they are
they are producers and they support our program in an honest
way. Just like Hollywood
let's take a few days. In fact we're going to start at the top
with a an instant night. Wow. Peter Pukki I guess is how you
pronounce that. $1,000 from Bowmanville Ontario, Canada and
little along note here this is my second donation but I thought
I'd make it worthwhile. My first donation was for the amount of
6969 A while back I was taken a little aback that you didn't
read my message with the first donation in the message was the
correct way to say my last name, John, you slaughtered it. And as
usual, Adam tried to help but only made it worse.
That's what I do. That's
my hope is that if you if I send you enough money to be an
instant aid you will read this note and get it right. The name

wish to anyone but we will know now because you're a knight.
Because you have a name you want Oh sir Captain Pete of the seven
quest story oceans.
I wish to be de Deus. However, there is a reason that I haven't
contributed more. I was in a 25 year relationship which kept me
poor. It happens that way. We have a number of people like
that. You know who you are. So my money became our money and
that left me with none. You didn't do it right. That's now
oh, well, most guys don't. That's now over and I finally
have some I reminded me of this story. Yeah, go ahead girl. I
knew this girl who was getting divorced. And she was and she
was like a lot of women who get divorced not all of them. Some
are very amenable and they do go through arbitration or whatever
is normal, but she was not the type and so she went she first
she got that top divorce attorney she could before they
got even knew what hit him. And then she went and visited every
other divorce attorney within 100 miles to see if they'd be
take her case on and that immediately disqualified them
from working for him. Oh, what a great idea was a great idea. So
the guy was screwed Yeah, to go to some buddy that was slipshod
and he wasn't even in the area. Oh man. And of course she ended
up with everything after course, I'm reminded of that anyway, he
goes on he says now I'm finally have some coin to invest in the
best podcast in the universe. I'm shutting down my business in
Canada and looking to find medium a medium sized yacht now

think to myself If only I had some yacht finding karma my life

what he wants. He says it as you'll no longer be a dirt
dweller of needing in appropriate ocean title I'd like

box 339 el Cerritos, California. We love cheques, longtime
listener but first time donor. Here's a shout out to the best
podcast in the universe. Keep up the good work and as chief. Pan
Chief Chief Oh Chief Dan George said, endeavor to persevere,
endeavor to persevere. Please give me a MILF. Shout out to my
wife, Dana, who I have turned on to your podcast and she's
listening apparently.
Oh, hold on a second. Here we go.
That's one mother I'd like to have. Yo,
there you go. Give him a karma.
Oh, of course. Happy to say it specifically. So
I didn't turn Oh my God. He may be an MD because he scribbled MD
out of the blue on that handwritten note. So it's
possible. All right, sir Zog of Elwood yes Sarzana make sure is
there anything above that? No. Sir Zaga Val would fall Fowler
of ser a Zog of Elwood
right as we know. Yes.
We've been writing valiantly in our steel on our steeds
throughout the Chicago Southland and hitting people in the mouth.
You turn a few and a few think you're nuts. Yeah, of course.
They're the ones that are in trouble. Yeah. Screw the losers.
You can't see what's happening is youngster a Zog is now in the
sixth grade. So we're starting to keep an eye out for school
assignments, where we can potentially propagate the
formula but my wife is a is a middle school teacher. And if
this, if this blows up on us, we'll be in deep shit. So this
is the way this this is right here is the state of the
country. Yes, it's reading your report. After this and good
indication,
right and read it again. Gotta go slowly. I want to hear
exactly what he's saying here.
Young Cereza is now in the sixth grade. So we're starting to keep
an eye out for school assignments where we can
potentially propagate the formula. But since my wife is a
middle school teacher, If this blows up on us, we'll be in deep
shit. So we're being like Fonzie and playing it cool and waiting
for the right or waiting for the right opportunity. I've been
listening for over 400 shows and the deconstruction The last year
has been phenomenal. Thank you. I got a chance to hang with a
couple of Brits last week. And with the knowledge and insight
from the show, they were amazed that I had any UK political
opinions.
We thought those Americans were stupid. He was French fries, Mac
Donald's.
The deconstruction of the Scottish vote being used to get
the Scots out of English affairs blew their minds. But they were
totally all in. And by the way, I use that on Mimi's friend from
the UK who is visiting. Yeah, and she was also they haven't
heard this argument. I mean, I guess we picked it up from the
Europeans. But as soon as you hear you go, obviously I'll be
in London all week. So I can see if I can just see people in the
mouth while I'm there. And I could get a shout out to Brian
Williams of Streamwood Illinois, who is actually is a night but
needs to get off his lazy ass and send in his accounting to
get knighted. Okay, yeah, but a Boom shaka laka where the head
is gone. Chaser. That would be great. A girl grab a karma for
yours for the show on yourselves while you're at it. It's on me
value for value rules.
Bingo boom
and her head is gone. You've got karma
works for me.
And finally, are Leslie sociate. Executive producer Nathan Howard
from Archer, Florida. My son Trevor turned me on to you. And
it's pretty, pretty funny. And listening to you guys is a
privilege. As the way you find and tell the truth is extremely
rare and fascinating to listen to almost non existent in
today's bought and paid for mainstream media. The most
enjoyable times I get to spend with my son are on Thursdays and
Sundays. Thanks. That's right. Give them a fortuitous
gratuitous karma your karma and include to conclude our
producers, executive and social executive producer formerly for
show 668 on our minds. We do have a show coming up on
Thursday. Six 669 show 669 The more i.org/na
The way you said it it means something we seem to have some
kind of problem with the stream which avoid zero was working on.
But regardless of that, having a promise streaming Yeah, but it's
something strange elevator music is
packed by that guy who says the nasty notes I don't worry avoid
zeros on the case. Don't
worry about it too quick PR mentions. Todd wrote me and
reminded me that we have drone license.com which currently
points to our no agenda show.com page. Yeah. Do we want to do
something with that? We were talking about getting in on the
military industrial complex drone bonanza. Yeah, I
think we should. Okay, well
just have a meeting another meeting. And thank you to who
did this and I gotta open it up and see. MTN vortex empty and
vortex he tweeted this out this morning has made a YouTube video
which I put in the in the show notes, which shows you how to
use no agenda search the search that no agenda, search that any
show notes.com in conjunction with no agenda player.com When
you want to find something, and it's really good, it'd be he
just shows you how you integrate these two websites, where not
only can you find what episode something was in, but then how
you use no agenda player to find that exact clip. If it's not
already annotated, you can help out by annotating and you can
send someone a link that takes you directly to that piece.
Nice.
This is good stuff.
Yeah, that is good stuff.
That's good use that didn't see that in the no agenda, Wall
Street Journal piece. They have a great search. They're very
shallow.
So are we really
I wouldn't said was so so why are you You know why? Just a
long story, but there was a profile of me and I said
something about I don't write for boneheads or read the Wall
Street Journal.
And then what happened?
I ever got a job there. That's, that makes sense.
for.org/and. Alright, everybody, if you're out there and about
please do the very important work of propagating the formula.
Our formula is this. We go out for people in the mouth
I think Boyd zero fix it already. So this is all good, is
the best. So this North Korea thing popped up all of a sudden,
and of course, I'm itching. You know, I'm itching because I
really want to call Dawn but I know what's inappropriate. And
I'm seeing him. totally inappropriate. But I'm seeing
him in like a week. A little over a week. Yeah, he No, he's
17 seconds in case you hadn't seen it or heard about it.
Back home in the US the two American citizens Matthew Todd
Miller and Kenneth bay after being released from prison in
North Korea, to arrived at a military airbase in Washington.
To the surprise of many commentators, James Clapper, the
US Director of National Intelligence, went to North
Korea and accompany the two men home. So that's
that's the tale right there.
Well, this is interesting to me because I didn't get this little
factoid. Oh, it's worse. It's worse, they come back on Air
Force to American Jad who had to you know, USA on the site, which
had to have love as He landed in North Korea, which must have
gotten a few tongues wagging.
Well, not only that, this report doesn't have it. But a CNN was
reporting last night that clapper went to North Korea.
Clapper who was the dumbest guy there is I mean, the guy's dumb.
And he's a liar by the way, he lied to Congress. He lied in
Congress.
Yes. In Congress to to Congress.
And he's edited already had a note from Obama. And I just Oh,
here's the here's the note, I imagine. Dear Kim, I'm in the
shitter. Please help me turn the news cycle away from my
lameness. Please make me look good. I'll send you some Laker
girls and Minnie Mouse outfits your pal Berry. That's that's
about all I could think of.
It might have been just that now. I mean, he may have that,
you know, it wouldn't be beyond Kim Jong earn to negotiate these
guys in exchange for a exhibition game between the
Lakers and the Korean national team.
Now simultaneously, it wouldn't
be the Lakers though. It'd be one of the TSB. I think he
fancies the Knicks. I think he's a fan of one of the Knicks.
Yeah, he's got some crazy I'd have to look into but he's Yeah,
he's okay. Next No, no, I thought now it's one of the
Chicago Chicago Bulls bulls Yeah, of course.
That's right. Now this does come on the on the heat and it really
the heels but on the Achilles heel of big meetings in China
with the in Beijing with the Chinese. And of course we know
the China's I have good connections with North Korea.
Maybe this was some kind of gesture from Beijing because
this Kenneth Bay and let's also point out this other guy todd
miller spoke about Yeah, the guy does not exist looks
I mean, guy does not exist. There's a look these guys have
go ahead and find search around todd miller. Brian, the gay
Crusader who's really good at research he says, I can't find
anything on this guy. What do you think and I spoke so obvious
to ya spoke. So they sent back a spook. And the the other guy,
the missionary the missionary
was just gotta be a bonehead.
And there's more strangeness to as the enemy I didn't clip any
of it. But there's the guy who had the free Kenneth Bae
campaign going. Oh, man, it just hit me. Oh, John. I'm such an
idiot. I'm sorry. I should have clipped this. I'm an idiot. Oh,
man, hold on a second. Let me get let me get the exact
So you found here doing the show
as just hit me. Yes. Yes. Yes. You have
decided that you have uncovered or overlooked Yes. The most
important piece of information and what my dad okay.
The free Kenneth Bay. Now campaign has been run. I'm
just I got confused because I thought it was a free Michael
Bay.
No, Kenneth Bay, okay. Oh, man, I'm so stupid. Free Canada for
day. Thanks. Well help me find out the name of the guy who was
running that campaign because he was on CNN. And he actually said
I've never even met the guy. I don't know Kenneth Bae, but this
guy has been running the the Kenneth Bay campaign and as I
looked into it, his he runs a sports marketing company. Oh,
that's what I bring back. Oh, it is Bring Back Bay bring here
sports agent David Sugarman. Hold on. David Sugarman. This is
the guy who has been doing it. Oh, it's sugar Time Inc. Let's
see who they represent. Do you think they represent any
basketball players John Manny chance?
Probably so Chicago Bulls. Let's take a look. Sugar
time. inc.com Oh, there's a basketball right in the middle
of the page. Oh my goodness. You got a motivational video. Oh,
this is so obvious. How stupid oh I should have here the
clients all clients. Oh man.
This is sugar time. inc.com Is that what we do? Yes. For
stages. Yes. Yes, sugar giants.
doesn't get anything under old clients you get anything under
clients have
to have a username and password.
Well, why don't we just go to the search? Oh, this is so so
obvious.
Yeah, go to search. So the search will bypass the sugar
time as a lot of sound effects on this site. Mostly basketball.
Yeah,
it's all best basketball guy. The clients. See who wants
you guys to first name again?
David David sugar David sugar. Oh, man that came but this is
I'm kicking myself for having overlooked this. And it just hit
me. I'm like, Oh my God. Of course.
The Chicago Bulls we know you're a big fan.
Let me see. I can't I can't get into it. Here let me try. Yeah,
go ahead. He had they just I'm looking at some new stories.
They got five new let's see five new players. Al Walton dodgy
Brown I know this I don't see I don't know anything about I
don't know anything about sports
Yes, David sugar.
Yeah, do right.
Yeah. David sugar. Let's see if David sugar let's just do Dennis
Rodman. Might as well
know Rodman's wouldn't have an agent at this point. I don't
think oh, maybe. David shurgard Dennis Rodman, Steven. Come on.
I don't know No, no real hits, no real hits. No, I'm telling
you this. It's there's got to be
you know, this is obviously what's going on here. And there
will be a game and other game. You know, he's trying to
westernize the country and get tourists to come and then you
know, get basketball to become the national sport. You can
count on that. It'll be I'll put that in the book. The national
sport of Korea, North Korea will be basketball as opposed to the
national sport and more or less of, of South Korea, which is
baseball. Right? You have a lot of Leaguers plays the Korean
players you'd like to throw they have a lot of underhand pitchers
that throw have that weird sidearm underhand pitch very
hard to hit.
So now I have to go back and I have to go look at this guy
because he was so happy if they had a little interview of him.
And you know, I've never even met Kenneth Bay, you know, but
he but he's the one that I think since the spoke. No, no, no can
no can't I'm sorry, David Bay. I'm sorry, David. I
mean, David sugar. Oh, geez. Get it straight. I'm sorry. Now the
spook was Kenneth Bay, right? No. Todd Miller is the spook.
Okay. And is Kenneth Bay was the was the missionary Yes,
the missionary right. And David sugar is the agent who was
running the free Kenneth Bay campaign.
Okay, and so he and he's a basketball guy. Yeah, the
basketball thing fits right into the AHA All right, well, that
makes sense. Yeah, deal was done somewhere along the lines in
this book probably is the one who did the deal
and it was so embarrassing that they sent clapper let clapper go
if this thing blows up we want clapper to be in trouble yeah
it was a poor it would the operation was suck. The idea was
to get the guy to do the deal with it with a missionary in
this book was going to organize it and was somebody over there
and I'm guessing is the spook decided to steal some secrets.
Yeah, yeah. And they screwed the whole thing up. And so then all
hell broke out. And so yeah, the same clapper to straighten it
out. reprimand the guy put them at a desk job and in Langley and
now we're good to go we just gotta go Bulls are on their way.
They're flying in. Although it may be Miami Heat, I think
it'll be well it might be like it I think it would be great if
I was Kim Jong Un. I would wait until the season's over because
you can't do it.
It's gotta be it's gotta be something big John I mean, ya
know, it would be like this champions
of the of the NBA that are another replay of the last game
of the final
and it makes so much sense because now we had a personal
note from the president which was dude I'm gonna I'm the
President's a big basket bank basketball guy and we're going
to be so happy because oh look if there's a here's some
relations some goods going and sport basketball was going to
repair our relations with North Korea Yeah, and I think when one
of the finals when do we have the big
season just began so
don't wait times forever
to organize these things but this guy was also visor players
you know the players are not stupid. You know? It's like
what's in it for me?
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Of course. And that because the tip off was
clap our government
you know what here's my guess we'll pay for the ticket on this
is because a curb North Koreans gotta have no money this Yeah,
no, this is what's gonna happen.
He's also he resides in downtown Miami so this guy has got he's
got the heat that's what that's what I'm sure let me tell you
the Miami Heat. Miami Heat. Let me see if he must be
representing some people from the heat.
Well, the heat was last year's champion. So it would make sense
and and I think as if I'm not mistaken in North Korea there
they haven't finished last year season yet on their TV.
On the Roku on the North Korean roku. Yeah. So let's see David
sugar did that. Maybe? We'll find
out we'll figure it out.
But he was also Chicago lawyer.
Yeah, there's no other reason for him to have this website.
This makes okay I will and this had this is how it actually were
this is how our show was put together. Usually I do it before
we start recording. But I'm sorry it just all of a sudden
I'm visiting on Dawn am ah, it's because I'm a sports guy and you
help you help with the sports.
It's more geared towards I have a little report here. It's gonna
consist of eight clips, a little report. And it starts with
sports. Okay. And this is a this is a corruption report the
vortex corruption report on the university system in the United
States. We need
a jingle for this. Well, I have corruption.
There's no corruption with soccer part three. But let's
start with soccer. Soccer corruption. The first clip
soccer corruption
use a young baseball player throwing too many pitches for
example, or a girl playing too much soccer on still developing
knees. It's happening all across the country. But we found a
striking microcosm of the problem. And the patients and
staff at one clinic in Northern California. pediatric orthopedic
surgeon Rob Pandia is scrubbing in for his Tuesday morning
operations in Oakland children's hospitals clinic in Walnut
Creek, California.
So three or four ACLs. Today three sales. Three ACLs is just
a typical
day. It's a pretty standard day for me kind of from week to
week, every two to three ACLs a bunch of different sports
injuries. So very, very typical. All three
of today's operations are on young soccer players with torn
anterior cruciate ligaments,
young soccer players onwards soccer corruption too.
Many kids can and do come back and compete aggressively after
ACL surgery straighten up. But some also develop osteoarthritis
in as little as 10 years. And that can put them out of
athletic action for life.
Where's the corruption bit?
It did just a hole that when it's over, you'll see the
corruption that's go to corrupt soccer part three
400 teams who paid nearly $400,000 In entry fees alone.
Many of the girls on these fields and their parents share
the same dream.
These girls want to play college you worked your tail off to get
into these showcases, because those are where the coaches are
for PAC 12
Are you big tap. Those showcases are tournaments which college
coaches attend to assess young talent. injuries have caused
Jessica to miss several showcases where she was hoping
to be offered a scholarship. Her mom says without one she won't
be able to afford
college won't be able to afford college so there are these kids
are out there crippling themselves yes to get into
college. They get into college and of course these are women
because they can't afford college and nobody can nowadays
because the universities have decided the jack of all the
prices largely because of the student loan fiasco. And in the
meantime, of course he's colleges which are bringing in
more probably more money than ever I just have this little
side clip here which is a Lick Observatory clip. Play that
Oh, honestly. Oh lick. Yes. Got it.
Activists are claiming victory and keeping Lick Observatory
open on cows campus. They say the UC system wanted to
gradually cut funding off for the observatory. So the
activists responded with a petition drive. They say at the
end of October the UC system relented and LEC will keep its
funding for another five years. Those who use the observatory
say it's an invaluable resource. This is an invaluable resource
for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. It was
the only place where astronomy students could actually practice
their science. The activists already have their next battle
in sight. They plan to try to block the UC system from going
through with its proposed tuition hikes.
Okay, so now they want to raise the tuition again, why not?
Well, that's the point. Why not? Because when you have going to
clip number, student loan,
of course there it is queued in
loan. Okay, first clip? Well, there's
about a trillion dollars worth of federal student really apps
floating around in America.
So that's just a million 1000 million, isn't it?
A trillion. And for some, it never goes away. Julie watts on
the Feds plan to collect whether you have the money or not.
Best case scenario, how long do you think it'll take you to pay
off your student loans?
best case scenarios, three years with a great, great job
and one and a half years, maybe three to five years,
right? paying off student loans. Most college students are hoping
for the best case scenario. But Eileen Joyce might be dealing
with a work I filled out the paperwork for hardship decades
ago, she took out a federal student loan to attend graduate
school, but couldn't pay it back because of a disability.
I had no money just even for survival. So the government
recently started taking it back.
Okay, can I guess where you're going with this? Guy? take a
stab at it. Go ahead. First of all a trillion. Is that a
million? million?
It's a lot. It's
a million million.
Yeah, it's a million billion.
A million million. Sorry.
Oh, it's 1000 billion. 1000 billion. 1000 1000 1000 1000?
Millions? Yes. So I think where you're going is you get these
kids as young as you can. And they're, they're killing
themselves. And of course, it's like it's almost like that.
What's that movie where they from the books where the kids
are all trying to kill each other and and to to survive the
day that Hunger Games Hunger Games, so it's kind of like a
Hunger Games of soccer, to get your scholarship, which it never
does never fall of course, and then you know, you still caught
it too much, right? You get the student loan. And then you flow
right into the the minor leagues where they are going to collude
with the government to enslave you as a player,
essentially a slit enslavement. And so this is our own
government, enslaving, we didn't loans if you remember
Eisenhower's speech about the military industrial complex, and
we talked about this on the show before Yeah, it was supposed to
be
industrial, military industrial damage. Demick complex. You're
right. And that was actually in his written speech, but he
dropped out exhausted
out because it was too much for the public to absorb Right now,
this is what's going on. So our own government is doing this to
the students, let's play the rest of the student loans.
That's a pretty short play number student loans part two,
deducting $100 a month from her social security check, I thought
I had a protected income. Unlike other forms of debt, federal
student loans are forgiven. Even after bankruptcy, the debt can
be collected on for ever more we can still do. The East Bay
Community Law Center says it's a scenario more and more seniors
are now facing
the government doesn't have to sue you to come after your
assets, they can just swoop in and kind of start garnishing
wages or Social Security benefits.
And in many cases, it's not until people file for Social
Security that the government is actually able to track them
down.
Wait a minute, the government is tracking you down. We're here to
collect. And they collected it with you know the point of a
gun, you know what else they do? This is why you cannot have
offshore banking accounts, right? Because the government
cannot go into those accounts and just take your money like
they can with all domestic banking accounts. I've had that
happen to me. It happened to me.
I remember I was at MTV. And I don't I don't remember what it
was for with some oversight or something that could check had
gotten lost that it's like a like a payment to the IRS. But I
remember, and this is early days of ATMs and the ATM was in the
bank and they're in New Jersey, and I'm trying to get out and
it's not working. I walk inside and they say, Oh, this is very
strange. How your money has been transferred to this account with
all numbers nine is very strange. Let me see what's going
on. And they just taken all my money out transfer, they had
transferred it. And I called the IRS and when this isn't met by
1989, or when a long time ago, and I said well, what is this?
Well, you know, we payment? Hold on a second. You know, just call
me whatever. He said no. Well, we got your attention, didn't
we? That was the answer I got. Yeah, that's that that would be
their answer your attention. Wow. Okay, so this is pure
enslavement.
Yeah. And well, let's go to part three, and then we'll then I can
start to wrap.
In the past year over 140,000 delinquent student loan
borrowers have had their Social Security garnished triple the
number a decade ago, and Castoldi says Making matters
worse, the government is now using private collection agents
who get paid on commission to go after the debt. These
private debt collectors don't tell them about the options.
For example, people with low incomes should be able to make
payments as little as five to $10 a month. An option Eileen
wishes she would have known about decades ago.
Well, here's the situation that we have. And it's intolerable.
And then colluders Of course are the universities that create the
environment for this they have pretty much given up on you
know, working with the state government and spending money
wisely. The University of California which one does shut
down Lick Observatory a very nice facility has been building
like crazy. There are so many new buildings I don't think if
you look at the University of California today and compare it
to and the increase in students from 30,000 to 44,000, which
gives it a lot mostly Chinese from overseas so they can just
make as much money it's become a money making operation and the
way it all ends up and you had to play this clip without
interrupting it. Is the way it all ends up the way we are all
end up at the end of the day is this clip. This is THE WEATHER
GIRL and the anchor woman on KSB W just chit chatting and showing
you the level of professionalism that we have in some of these
stations around you. This is when girls take over the
newsroom
Kansas repetition precipitation so that means equal chances for
rain equal chances for a dry weather and equal chances for
just about in between and we have a week on the new expected
coming in the next one to two months so we are rooting for
that. Let's take a look at our case PW weather kid of the
morning. This is from Carson. He's a kindergartener at King
City arts magnet school. He says this is my family night at the
beach with sun clouds and rain. It looks like he's got the
forecast nailed and they look very tan in this picture. Wow,
Carson did a good job. I guess we got a rain yesterday and
today a
little bit today. I think it's pink raindrops. I like that.
I love that. Oh yeah. I wish the rain was paying me
to and tasted like cotton candy. Oh,
yes. Wouldn't that be great? It's beautiful out there. Even
though it's rainy. I'm excited to go outside. We are we've
needed the rain. Hold on one second, John. And there you
have.
I just had to shoot myself. There you have it.
Welcome to America. Wow.
Well, I know what Yeah, I know what you're thinking right now
people at home are going is he going to do it? Absolutely.
totally deserved. Clinical only but also because it's in
combination with your
end tasting like cotton candy in
your deconstruction of The slavery through sports, which is
nothing really new, except now it's girls, which I think is, is
interesting. Well, there's
a lot this has to do with title, title nine, Title Seven, the
once the universities or the courts, the courts try, you know
it was going on the universities that all the big football teams
in basketball teams are getting all the scholarships, and girls
sports weren't getting anything female sports, women's sports.
And so there was a number of lawsuits about this. And so they
decided with the, I guess, was the Supreme Court or the Civil
Rights Act. They put this in play that you can't give the
football team millions of dollars, right without giving
the women's sports millions of dollars. So they so they've made
it so they have. Yeah, and so the women's soccer girls get as
much as the football players, although if they privatize the
football sport, and just let them make the money in the you
know, they sell out the stadiums or I was watching a game over
the weekend. 102,000 people in the stadium, I know there's
plenty of money to be made. There's like there's 102,000
People watching a football game. There's like maybe 25 or 30
people watching women's soccer, but they have the same men, you
know, they get the same scholarships. So it's
dumb. Yeah, it's not even good slavery.
I think it's just stupid. But that's the way it is. And that's
what they have to do. But dude, right now with their tuitions
and the student loans, the whole thing is a massive scam. And it
makes me wonder about Peter Thiel, the crazy guy,
but maybe he isn't on the right track with his day may
be thinking along these lines all along. Because he's
extremely skeptical. He's really a libertarian. He'd be a perfect
listener to our show. He'd probably think we don't go far
enough. But there is a lot to be said for this scam. And
we certainly could use some society. We certainly could use
some of that Peter Thiel. Mad Money. Wouldn't Yeah, I wouldn't
have a problem with that. That would be very nice
to have our own people that do fine. Yeah. Wow. We don't have
to listen. Good job, John.
Nice on that deconstruction and I'm happy. Because I was
struggling a bit last night. We're trying to trying to find
stuff that deconstruct
Well, yeah, you can deconstruct this one. Play clowns, one.
Oh, goodness out, do clowns make you laugh or perhaps feel a
little uneasy? Well, clowning around in France has become
decidedly more sinister recently, after people disguised
in clown costumes, launched a series of attacks. Armed with
iron bars or baseball bats, the so called evil clowns have
terrorized passers by, especially after dark.
For seen in the United States. The evil clown phenomenon
cropped up in France earlier this month. In one incident car
passengers had the fright of their lives.
So I'm loving the birds. They're armed with bonds hammers knives
to remember they want to really attack people stock cars demand
money for them when they do.
One evil clown in the northern town of Batoon. has been given a
six month suspended sentence. Another was arrested in Mongolia
in the South after beating up someone with an iron bar.
So difficult, so difficult. These are serious attacks.
People have pulled your thinking traumatize young women, young
people, and can be a way for real criminals
to think doesn't this
happen from time to time to time? Where did we get these
clown attacks? I feeling that this is not entirely new?
No, I don't think so because they already said it started the
United States has been on and off again. But this is new in
France. And I guess it's caught on it's like, there's a little
bit of a sociology sociological explanation. In the second clip
if you want to play Of course, I want to play that
the phenomenon has spread across the country. It's also prompted
anti clown vigilantism, forcing police to step in to try to
quell the growing hysteria. And to avoid any disruption during
Halloween. The mayor of the small village of Vanguard in
southern France went so far as to ban the costume altogether.
It is strictly forbidden for any individual aged 13 or more to
walk around in the village dressed up as a clown.
Although no one knows for sure who started this trend, some
believe it could come from the Wesco clown. Originally, it was
an art project featuring photos of an anonymous clown in the
town of the same name. It is believed to have inspired
copycats, with some sharing disturbing images of clowns in
intimidating scenarios. According to this sociologist,
the evil clown trend reflects them allez Gruen, an open
stitching victim,
the clown can be seen as a big shame. He's actually a failure.
Someone to distract. The evil clown can then be seen as a
person seeking revenge is mostly
police say Internet has played up pivotal role in promoting the
phenomenon. Authorities are now concerned about the teasing of
incidents on Facebook as here posing in front of a police
station.
Okay, put this in the book. All right, ready? ISIS dressing up
as clowns massacre masquerading masquerading as clowns. Just
write it in
this clowns.
Void zero. Do I have to synchronize my clock? This is
interesting. We just synchronize my clock channel. Okay, let me
see we're getting buffer overrun. So I have to
synchronize the clock. That makes nothing but sense. I know.
Let me see if can I do it? I'm gonna do this.
You're now in the book with the highlighted. If this happens, I
will be I will give you a I will applaud. Literally applaud,
because that is a far out idea.
Yeah, but no, I'm thinking that's the way to go. It
wouldn't be
evil clowns.
Yeah, I've never
heard the story I said this is I don't know why it's for this
show. I've never liked clowns. And a lot of people just hate
clowns. Yeah, well, I
don't know if I hate him. But I really don't now I'm not really
big on the clowns. Five seconds but my five seconds of No, I'm
synchronized to the
would that make a difference in the stream? Well, I'm
I'm not a dude named Ben. Sure. But when you're by we're so
we're having buffer overruns between me and the server. And
void is looking at the logs and it says we're drunk but we're
behind five seconds or something. I don't know man. I
don't know if my Mac is is set to the time server. Okay, he'll
he'll figure it out. Because he's he's like that.
If anybody likes doesn't doesn't, especially if you don't
like clowns, you should watch the it's not it's a it's a it's
a movie. Not a documentary. But it's quite humorous. A lot of
people think things are disgusting. It's about an
alcoholic clown called shakes the clown.
This is this is one to watch.
A shakes the clown I would recommend that very well. For
anyone board. And there's all on Netflix.
There's also a Christmas movie with the drunk clown. I think
that might be with Bill Murray as he plays a drunk clown.
Yeah, there was a I remember that in Christian Hollywood with
the clown.
Moving along, into let me hit with some agenda 21. And we've
talked about this company in. In the past, I looked it up on the
no agenda search, search on any show notes.com. This is the NR
NRG Energy Systems. Okay. And big investors, including the
Google. I think these guys actually were they I think that
they were in they invested in them because they wanted to use
some of their solar technology to power our data centers. And
they received a one of those one and a half billion dollar loans
loan or a grant, I'm not sure
probably a loan turned into a grant because they didn't pay it
back maybe.
Well, the problem is now that there is a payment due, and the
shareholders are asking the government for a grant to pay
off some of the
demand in the government for a grant to pay off the government
loan correct. So $1.6
billion federal loan that apparently wasn't good enough,
because now the owners Google and NRG Energy want a $500
million federal grant to pay off their federal loan. But the
company says the sun isn't shining as often as they hoped.
Imagine that the weather not cooperating. And the first eight
months of this year, I've had generated 254,000 megawatt hours
of electricity. That's a quarter of the million that was
promised. So to compensate, it's using 60% more natural gas, the
very fossil fuel is designed to replace and the reason it got
federal money NRG Energy insists
that it's
warming rears its ugly head, things will
improve. The CEO visited the White House 10 times its
chairman wrote to the White House Chief of Staff that we
need a commitment from the White House to quarterback the loan.
So it gets it approved by the DOP. That's interference of
house investigators called the worst kind of cronyism is
ya new kidding? And I want to take this opportunity to play a
little piece from an interview that I put in the show notes.
It's a YouTube video. Naeun guy's name is John cutch. And he
is I think he runs a thorium Energy Alliance. So he's a
nuclear guy. But he's a very, he's a very smart nuclear guy
who used to be a part of a lot of this stuff going on in
California with the solar industry. And I picked up this
little snippet because he's really pissed that So now he, I
think he does believe in climate change to a certain degree but
his into and maybe he doesn't. But his push is, if you want to
shut down coal, then you have to use nuclear. So I like that,
obviously, because I think we should be doing that no matter
what, no matter what you think about climate change. It's the
way to go. It's the it is the future with the modern reactors
that we have. But he
has his last name cutch.
Do you want the co do you want me to just spell it though? Kilo
uniform tango, Charlie hotel.
I just needed the first was a C or
a going to I'm going to disconnect from the stream and
reconnect for everybody see if I can get something going here.
I'm not quite sure why it's all messed up. Okay, we are
reconnecting, we should be back. Okay, so you got him. I want to
play this little bit from this. It's kind of a documentary,
where he talks about specifically solar energy and
stuff I didn't know about how very vulnerable the solar panels
are. In industrial use, what
most people in the public don't understand is that all solar
cells inordinately benefited from good PR, a amorphous
flexible one, I don't care what kind of solar cells you're using
solar, and especially utility scale solar, you've got to dope
these silicon sheets, you got to have glass sheets and pack
resistant sheets, aluminum frames, vapor deposition of the
materials using vast amounts of energy, they're almost all
refined using vast amounts of electricity. As you start to pay
off that energy deficit. Oops, I need more batteries up. What did
those take to produce, you get into things about the
efficiencies not only to decay over time, but you might just
blow out your solar cell all together, when just something as
basic as a maple leaf falls on the panel, you get a blank area
in the solar cell, it almost acts like a capacitor, and the
energy will build up behind the behind that shadowed area of the
leaf and you'll get a burnt out section of your solar cell. When
you look at utility scale installations, even when they're
in the desert, you'll see that these companies will spray
roundup and all sorts of knock down to kill and make sure
nothing ever grows underneath the solar cells on the sake of
making sure that grass doesn't grow high enough, or God forbid
a bush grow high enough and fall on the face of your solar cell.
Then they put in these large solar cells arrays, using lots
of concrete, lots of aluminum, tons of wiring going to
inverters to get on the grid with sketchy shaky, badly formed
power. And you're sending workers into the solar fields to
clean off the dust that constantly builds up. And when
you get just a little bit of dust, you're efficient, you can
lose 10 15% of your efficiency. So you're constantly cleaning
these things. I am I am at the fucking end of this shit. All
right, day, clown bullshit over,
I forgot to warn you. This is why it's a good piece of video
to watch, like 25 minutes, very entertaining. And he goes into
all?
Well, you know, I think we knew most of this in the 70s when the
OPEC thing created the first boom of this sort of thing. And
of course, a lot of people back then it was strange, as far as
I'm concerned is that we didn't have we don't have what was
going on in the 70s which was the the water heaters on the
roof of the house. Right? Yeah, that was a big deal. I wouldn't
have these Oh, yeah, the water would get hot. And then you'd
use that for your hot water. And that worked out. I guess those
are all
people got tired of lukewarm showers. Is that what happened?
I don't know what,
what happened. And then the solar panels got because of the
Chinese solar panels. Mostly they got so cheap, right, that
you could try and take another run at this. But I think that
you could do the math. Exactly what he said. I think there are
losers. That's why the only reason they ever worked out is
when you get a bunch of rebates. In other words, the state and
the federal governments give you money, but it's put it up. Yeah,
exactly. And that's you were just scamming the taxpayers.
It's it's just nonsense. And Germany
because someone posted a really long comment on I think show 667
or whatever. Me talking to, oh, solar and wind, they know.
They're now efficient enough? No, they're not efficient.
They'll never be efficient enough because you either have
to store it in battery technology, which is just not
efficient enough. Otherwise, you'd be able to go cross
country in your Tesla. Or you have to fire up gas plants gas
energy at night and when there's no wind, it's just not not
efficient enough and Germany had their big ARB vendor and the
German industry is in deep, deep trouble. because they cannot
afford the cost of the renewables that they were all
supposed to all be in on. And Germany is trying to turn this
titanic Titanic around and get off of this this track they were
on,
though Yeah, they were all in and the indigence have always
been this way,
and the industry is hurting severely because of the energy
costs. Go ahead and search around, you'll find lots of
articles about this. And someone else sent me some articles,
which I thought was an interesting, it was just a
couple of links. And I do remember seeing one of them,
which is why it caught my eye about climate change. And the
title of this article, let me see where and where did it come
from? Of course, you see it in National Journal, whatever that
is. headline, condoms, fight climate change, but nobody wants
to talk about it. And so there's three other articles I have all
along the same line. Here's the latest climate change statement
webcast, your vasectomy. Okay, save you see where this is
going? Is a eugenics program which will be the final bastion
of fighting climate change is stop having children
yeah, let's get back to that the let's start killing people.
Well, that was I mean, I
thought that we got the death penalty on the last show I think
was a genius. Well, but those are just you know, get people to
kill themselves in Oregon and kill yourself.
But that's that's not gonna that's not moving it fast
enough.
No, no, no. Condoms have a sec dummies. But I
love this for Valentine's Day. This is this is the request for
Valentine's Day they're getting the pet you can see more this PR
will be ramping up. Webcast your vasectomy.
Why would someone be so sick as to want to do that.
Well, we have world vasectomy this.
This is the old stand up for you know stand up fly stand I'm
dying. I'm Spartacus. Stand up for the standard for that. Let's
show you a proud of being a stupid slave. Well, we is what
it amounts to as far as no agenda thing.
I feel bad. We missed it. World vasectomy day was on the seventh
of November. I don't know if it caught on.
World vasectomy day was when the seven was that a
Friday? November 7. That was a Friday. Yes.
That's interesting.
We missed it. We did.
That's too bad. World vasectomy. day.org Check it out. I think
got a film. Oh, they have a film weather so webisodes and film.
What's their film?
Now this this?
Okay. Oh, man. All right. So
there's just for now we're going depressing. I'd rather have the
cotton candy tasting rain.
I do like this idea that okay, well, why don't we start with
killing the Chinese. And if it's always being highlighted here,
the Chinese have the right idea. One child per family. Well, just
so you know that. That changed quite a while ago, they got off
that track.
You know, one of the things that we did you when you came up, I
still think and I say this every other show at least is that clip
of that guy who goes into Hollywood with the with the with
the writers telling him to add storylines that serve the
greater global agenda, let's say
Yeah, from the Lear foundation.
So in 2014, a new Jack Ryan movie came out. This was called
Jack Ryan. Shadow something or other anyways, starring the guys
starting Captain Kirk in the new Star Trek series. Who's
Who's Jack Ryan? Is this some superhero guy? I should be aware
of some superhero,
man. He's just an actor. But he plays Captain Kirk in the new
Star Trek things in it. That's all I can think of. But that's
not the point. The point is, is the messaging. This is after
Snowden was kidnapped, of course, that all of a sudden
instead of the typical terrorism, kind of scenarios
that we had in the storylines. I want you to listen to this one,
and telling me that this hasn't been planted by somebody for a
reason. Jack Brian one.
Two weeks ago, I noticed a series of accounts and our
Russian partners and records to which our company's computers
are denied access, massive currency accounts, all in US
Treasuries. Shravan has made a total commitment to US dollars
when there's been a hurricane in the Gulf and a string of
negative economic reports. What does it mean? It's external
sterilised intervention like I'm an idiot, ah, the dollar should
be going down but it's up. flattens everyday the past week.
I think you're prepping us why I think there's a coordinated plot
within Russia to collapse the dollar, and it's gonna happen
soon.
Wow, hold on, I got the clip. It's only 20 seconds, Martin
Caplan of the Lear foundation.
So in the course of our work, this is, in the two years 11 to
13 335 storylines that we worked on, have been aired, we've
worked with 35 networks in the past four years. 91 different
television shows. And
there you go. And so let's finish it up the what's going to
happen to our us, because of the rush the rush, I'm sorry, I said
because of the Russians.
And once the Russian start to sell, the rest of the world is
going to dump every dollar they have.
All right, let's say it's happened. Let's say you're
right. Once the aftermath they'll recover.
We will. We don't have their own reserves. We're looking at the
panic of 1837 the panic of of 1893 the Soviet famine of 1930
hyperinflation, breadlines rioting I know I get it.
This is great. This is when you say this on a podcast you're
called a crackpot and spit on. By the way, I do know Jack Ryan
is
this is the bull crap of the highest order. And the dollar is
going up. Finally, because it's been depressed for so long.
Yeah. And you know, it should be the same, it should be same,
we're worth more than the euro. And it's finally they're
starting to turn around after like a decade of the thing being
in the toilet, which of course helps us when it's weaker,
because we get our exports are cheaper. There's no we're the
ones buying all the treasuries
and us and this kind of when they put this stuff out there,
which is so obvious anti Russia. And I got it. I have a couple
clips I'd like to play. In fact, I'm gonna play I'll come back to
it. First the news JP Morgan, has agreed to lead a $700
million bond offering for Russian gas producer Gazprom.
This is a this is short term money, which makes it legal
under the sanctions. This is so a couple more. Russia is
increasing investments in France. cooperation in science
projects us to remain priority with Russia. And here we have us
or US and Russia on Ukraine,
the US and Russia have agreed to exchange information about the
situation in eastern Ukraine. According to US Secretary of
State John Kerry, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov
said if the US got involved to help resolve the conflict, it
would be a step in the right direction. After that meeting in
Beijing, both admitted however, that they don't see eye to eye
on events in Ukraine. We do have some disagreements
about some of the facts on the ground with respect to Ukraine.
We have agreed to exchange some information between us regarding
that. And we have also agreed that this is a dialogue that
will continue.
Lavrov said the US should discourage what he called
hotheads among Ukraine's leadership from resuming an all
out conflict with the rebels.
The rebels and the government is for them to finalize the
disengagement. Right now.
More fighting was reported in Donetsk overnight, underlining
the ceasefires fragility. The Ukrainian army says one soldier
was killed and over a dozen injured. Meanwhile, Russia's
Foreign Minister laughed off key s claims that there had been a
new Russian military incursion into eastern Ukraine this week.
So we're working together, although we don't see eye to eye
on everything. But then, you know, with all of this obvious
business going on between France and Russia, United States and
Russia, JP Morgan raising a $700 million bond for Gazprom, back
at home with ABC with our own compromised media reports of
a cyber attack on the nation's critical infrastructure hackers
targeting America's power grids, gas lines, water treatment
plants, and more using malicious computer software. The hackers
now believed to have links to the Russian government. Oh, ABC
senior justice Pierre Thomas has
now listened closely to this report. Before any evidence, or
any true recognizable source of evidence about this, being from
the Russian Government to late breaking DNS is ABC News. This
is the world this is the world the news tonight David Muir took
over from long
tails he's been talking to his sources today here. Yeah,
David, some of the computer systems serving the country's
most important utilities have been penetrated by hackers use a
software called Black Energy. It was planted years ago, but it
has not been activated and only recently discovered what's at
risk power plants, the electric grid, water treatment
facilities, natural gas pipelines. In theory, this
software could allow a hacker to use the internet to shut down a
generator flooded water treatment plan or turn off a
pipeline. If you think this is science fiction, take a look at
this. In this test homeland security researchers use the
hacking attack to make this generator self destructing and
tech. David if it was turned loose on our industries, it
could cause chaos affecting 1000s
That experiment very telling. And Pierre, you were telling us
that your sources are revealing that authorities believe the
Russians could be behind this.
They're saying sources possibly connected to the Russian
government. Other prime suspects David?
So they did a test to show that oh, well, you know, it looks
like it could happen. And then they just say well sources Some
sources say oh, it looks like if the Russians. This is not news.
This is this is probably this is propaganda. And I looked
at why is a generator hooked to the internet that's just beyond
this. Thank you for asking. So I looked it up. This is this is
from the cert.gov website. Ongoing sophisticated malware
campaign comprising ICS update a this is from October 29. And
I'll just read it to you. It's the first one it's only an Amber
Alert does not like Red Alert, Red Alert Russia. There's no the
word Russia is not in here anywhere in this report is ICS
cert has identified a sophisticated malware campaign
that has compromised numerous industrial control systems. ICS
is using a variant of the Black Energy malware well known
exploit apparently, the campaign has been ongoing since at least
2011. multiple companies working with cert have identified the
malware on on internet connected human machine interfaces, which
include GE simplicity, advanced tech, broad wind WebAccess and
Siemens wind CC, it's all to Windows 2008 systems that are
compromised. CERT has not observed the use of this
vulnerability to target control system environments. Thank you.
Okay, so where's all the scariness and then they have a
lot of technical info at the bottom? Here's some
recommendations. This is recommendations should you be
running critical infrastructure the US government recommends?
Number one, minimize network exposure for all controlled
devices. Control System devices should not directly face the
internet. Tip number two, locate control system networks and
devices behind firewalls. isolate them from the Business
Network. Tip number three. If remote access is required,
employ secure methods such as virtual private networks or
VPNs. Whoo. Tip number four, implement policies requiring the
use of strong passwords. And Tip Five, monitor the creation of
administrator level accounts by third party vendors. If this is
the level of advice we have to give to our critical
infrastructure if we
were running one of these companies, instead of sitting
here talking morons is
what we are retarded morons?
Well, the one thing we can do and I'll kick this up a little
bit. This may not just be about what you would what you think it
is. Okay. I believe that underfoot, the entertainment
industry is going to produce a slew of cyber related Sitka and
that sitcom Yeah, maybe maybe sitcoms. Yeah, Tom's dramas. And
I've got one, I've got proof of one coming. I know, we saw
Scorpion, which is supposed to be this hugely hit, and it's
moronic. And if it is a hit in any way, and you claim it is
based on the number yes, on the numbers, yeah, on the numbers,
that it's going to open a floodgate. And the one I'm
predicting that will be coming out shortly be based only on a
recent episode of CSI. And you remember, CSI used to have CSI
Miami, CSI New York. And those those franchises were killed.
Yeah, they've kept CSI so they need a new one. So I'm
predicting CSA cite CSI Cyber, and the reason is because they
they ran one of those episodes that was obvious.
Obviously, John, John,
don't you remember I told you this. You might have if I told
you like in secret.
Well, so now, I just want everyone to know that that I
told you this. Yes, it was supposed to be secret. Well,
it's
it's not secret when these two things happen on television.
When everybody obviously They are there priming the public for
CSI Cyber and here is cybercrime one listen to the dialogue.
You are science cops. I'm a cyber cop. I work crimes that
start in the mind. live online and play out in the real world.
You work dark alleys, I work to darkness. You chase aspects. I
chase notes. Note, short for bad guy. Little childlike drawing
bad guys. This iceberg represents the internet. And
believe it or not, the world only uses this top 4% the tip
the surface well, I work down here and the 96% in the deep
web, or crystals are anonymous, where money is untraceable. And
we're every single levels for sound
but what does this have to do with Mr.
Berman's having a relationship with your mystery woman a woman
named Kitty, kitty, kitty
kitty
it goes on and shows kitty as they actually love it a robot
girl that looks just like a real the real thing and it goes
that's it's crap. But the whole thing is crappy. And then at the
very end of the show this the Cybercrime to clip the very this
is the end of the episode. If this doesn't tell you that
there's going to be a CSI Cyber, nothing will.
That was nice. So goodbye, I guess
for now. Well, you have to bank robbery.
Oh, give me a break. Talk to me how much free
copper pennies from 80 million checking accounts 2.4 million a
week. Thanks for one hell of a heist. Check your bank
statements.
Let's say there's no such thing as the perfect crime.
It's not the perfect crime. It's cybercrime.
These the guys who do NCIS make it a little more subtle that
they're working on a new show. Although it's been very observed
and easy, it's easy to spot. But this is ludicrous. This was the
stupidest episode I've ever seen. And this woman is anything
if you want to see a nerd woman who dude was into this stuff,
there's they're out there and they're on you can find them on
the on YouTube. This is some actress and you know, no. equals
bad guy.
And notice bad guy and bad guy.
Wow. So we're going to be stuck with this well,
so I Yes, it's coming. And in fact, I think it is. It called
exactly that. What did you What did you call it?
I call it CSI Cyber,
I think CSI I think that's exactly what it's called,
actually. Okay. Well, I
derive this from these clips not from anything you told me Well,
but some
kind of subconsciously.
It's possible that subconsciously when I saw this,
even though it was such a dead giveaway, I was actually
recording it originally to because of the stupidity of the
story. Because when they had this fake woman who was the the
sex bot, and then she confused her with questions like how many
legs is a bicycle have and she goes on and on the thing.
Literally, fractals is on the screen and then falls apart.
Like wireframe. Yakka, blah, blah, blah. At the end it was it
was idiotic. And so that's what I thought it was going for them
when the end came with this. It's not a crime. It's cyber
crime.
Then how does ABC get
duties? It's got something in the in the works.
But the CSI is CBS. That's one yeah, I've got something in the
works too.
I am saying that ABC is also got something of course. Because Bs
is going with CBS which is the leaders everyone copies them.
They've got the scorpion which is a cyber crime story. And now
they got CSI sighted got
it.
By the way, John clowns ready for it? This is why we have this
is why we have the global intelligence network. Stephen
King's It to be remade. Absolutely Stephen King
published his best selling horror novel eight in 1986 under
Viking Press it was developed into a TV mini series and let's
see this is from me I didn't evil clown it's always been
kings new it remake is already shaping up to be increasingly
more violent bloody than the original. When is it due? When
is it due sometime in 2050. There you go. ramp it up. So
it's this is Hollywood promotion these clowns you Yeah, beat
someone over the head with a pipe. Fine. That's a small price
to pay for the dose of numbers kind of money that's going to be
made with this. And people will go hey, really? No, yeah, I
really don't want to be so cynical to see
anything. We're the least cynical people I know. Well,
while we're on this for a moment, then maybe we should
just should do this now. I think
you know, when the evidence is laid bare before your feet Yeah,
you say look at this. This is what's going to happen. It's
very obvious, so obvious. That's not being cynical. On my phone,
the way I see it, the only good phones a landline and the phone
should be made out of Bakelite.
Okay, now Hey, no rumba, rumba. Rumba.
Did you see?
This is I think this is very important tech news. John. Did
you see the Amazon Echo? No. Ah, okay. The Amazon Echo, which I
believe you're an Amazon Prime member? Oh, yes. Yes, it will be
199 for non Prime members. $99 for Prime members. If I have
ordered this, I need to see it and use it. I need to see with
my own eyes. That and I've seen postings, Mike Elgon, he wrote a
post for one of his computer world things. And he says I love
it. And all the comments are this is great. I can't wait to
get it out. I recorded the whole promotional video, which is a
little too long. But you'll you'll hear. You'll understand
what it is in the first 30
slides. I'm looking at the webpages now. So I already know
from Amazon, I didn't know what it was.
What is it? You'll see? Is it for me?
It's for everyone. It's called Amazon Echo. How's it going? I'm
just finishing up right now.
Is it a one? Oh, it's
always on right now. Only hears you when you use the wake word
we chose
Alexa. Well, what does it do? Alexa, what
do you do?
I can play music, answer questions, get the news and
weather create to do lists and much more. And
this thing goes on for five min. For now. Three more minutes from
here. And it's like you have a new member of the family and how
do I spell cantaloupe? And give me my flash news. Alexa. Does
anyone see that? This is a spy device you're placing in your
home?
Totally a spy device like that is like the Microsoft but that
was Microsoft Kinect.
Oh my are connected you're good to go. And it's just
any other details can be done through Facebook and Instagram.
I cannot wait for this thing. This because I want to say I am
an Amazon user. I'm going to do dog barking I'll have all kinds
of stuff to see if that influences my my advertising
that pops up or choices that that I'm offered. Oh yeah, it's
yeah, it's gonna be
close study. Yeah, I think it's good that you get one and
if you if you look at the I've seen a EULA Terms of Service. I
don't know if it's the real one. But it pretty much says if you
have something private don't say in front of this box. almost
literally say I'm
gonna make people want to have sex in front of the box. The
Amazon
Alexa. Would you like to join us? There you go.
Man,
Alexa Cortana. Siri, these are these ones Cortana and Alexa,
actually, Alexa, what
is Cortana? Is
that the my windows? The Microsoft? He has what is this
is good. I'm sure that the public relations department at
Edelman loves to hear you say what the hell is Cortana?
Cortana? Is the Siri for the Windows Phone. Yeah. And it's
better.
It's better than Siri. All Yeah, really? Yeah.
The advertisements. Okay. must be true. Just saying that. In
fact, Siri and Cortana talk to each other and one of the ads.
And I have seen that. Okay. Yes. Cortana is
once Muriate Siri much smarter. Man. But you know, John, I think
you know, we can make our version. And it'll be kind of
like the magic eight ball. Outlook is cloudy. We should we
should give it a name
and make it a magic eight ball.
Yeah, but it's some basic stuff.
Well, we could change the codes inside the magic eight ball to
say suddenly in the morning.
So our code word is Mohammed lol Oh, I'll be.
We need to know I'm not going to do a Mohammed.
Okay, what do we do then? Let's do a different one.
Well, it has to be I think it should I think the worker I
think Microsoft's got the right idea. They have a hard sound
core TinyMe it's easy to pick up in theory, or
what is a really lame name?
Tiffany,
that's my sister's name. Don't say.
Sorry, Tiffany.
Don't do that. It's
this. Lame. It was sorry. It's so gorgeous.
How about JLo wanted us to listen for a show. Yeah. No, no,
Mickey is the only family member that listens to this show. I
just, I just like to I just like to have one of these may corner
that we could throw a little raspberry pi in there.
Yeah. Jane is what I want to
do. No, it has to be a dude has to be a dude. Dude. How about
just call a dude. Dude or big? Dude. Okay, okay. I'll be the
dude box. Go ahead.
Dude. Hello, John.
What is the how do you spell cantaloupe?
Why don't you go blow me Yeah, that's the way it would work.
That's all it says the whole time.
Yeah.
Outlook cloudy. Ask again later. Or some of the other magic eight
ball answers.
Outlook all signs point to yes. All
signs point to yes. Outlook hazy. There. Lamy my flash news
and I this is NPR News. I'm la optioning. Shmi. What's the
girl's name? La optioning Shmi.
I have no idea. Anyway, I rarely listen to and I do listen to the
ghost shows like go on the media and some of these other things
which are kind of I don't know, they're they're kind of lame.
But they once in a while bring out some good stuff. But why did
people
really why do people want this? Is this is do they did they want
it? I'm seeing I'm seeing I'm seeing a very positive response.
Hi. Because
you get asked a box stupid questions. Yes, the answer
yourself just by going to Google? Well,
no, John, I think you're wrong about this. I think you're wrong
on this one. I'm seeing Siri, as Siri I think is a big hit for
certain applications theory
anymore.
I believe you're wrong.
I've never seen anyone using it.
I see Nikki use it all the time. And you know how she uses it.
She'll have one application, but she uses it. Okay? For
directions. So she'll just say, you like, bought a Chevy
restaurant Austin? And then Siri goes, Okay, I see. You have a
restaurant nearby. It's called butter. Chili's. Would you like
me to program the directions for you? And then that seems like a
big
waste of time. When you went to Google phone. You open up maps
and you push the microphone. And then you say Baba Celli
restaurant in Austin. Yeah. And then it just gives you the
directions. It doesn't talk to you. Oh, okay. Well, let me look
for you and all this other bull crap. It just gives you the map
and instructions on how to get there as it cuts out all this
nonsense. It's nonsense. I'm just telling
you that it works. Well, I'm sure it does work. And I'm sure
that some of it I'm sure that it'd be just lovely to be. Dude,
how do you spell cantaloupe? That is that is actually the
example in that amazon video that the father can't remember.
He's like see a NT
spelling cantaloupe in the living room or wherever
else in the kitchen because the kid is doing homework and needs
to know how to spell cantaloupe.
And so the kid asks the dad and the dad asks the box. Yeah, the
kid just asked the box
because well, I don't know. This is it's very subtle training.
It's like don't have kids don't ask your parents. They're
stupid.
It's subtle.
Anyway, along with our tech news, winded up with this little
ditty here. Interesting report. Who wrote this I think it's from
the New York Times that if you have a car with mono most modern
cars have the GPS stuff in their tracking etc. Yes, and
apparently enough of them have GPS based kill switches that
some creditors are now disabling the vehicles. If you're behind
on your subprime car loan payments just disable the car
what if you're in the driving and you're passing another car
and a truck is coming at you got to punch it and get over there
gonna get killed with wood and somebody's
asking me questions that I of course I don't have an answer to
I just thought it was interesting that This is now
taking place.
Well, we two things are gonna happen with this one. That's one
of them. The second one, of course, is when you go in,
because you're going to have to get your car smogged. In most
states, California being
if you don't have the right sticker, if you don't haven't
read something else, it'll just be disabled just won't work.
No. They're gonna go through the records and say, Oh, looks like
you were speeding on Tuesday last week. Oh, yeah, say one
mile over the speed limit. And you know, that's a violation.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, looks like you ran a red light. Oh, here's
another speeding. Oh, this was a boat. This was 10 miles over the
speed limit. That's going to be a hefty fine. He'll be getting
your bill in the mail.
Right. You're right. You're right.
That and I believe that's what this is really all about. This
is not to compete for the convenience of anybody, it's for
the state to get them and they need money these states are, I
was just listening to this guy have a clip here. Because
somebody wrote in saying, right, you guys use shadow stats? Bull
crap. Yeah. And that was his actual voice. Yeah, exactly. And
which is to imply that our commentary, which was that the
public was voting for the Republicans, because they felt
that the economy was not in a turnaround situation, and things
were getting worse. This was scoffed at by Gwen Eifel. And
the other PBS couldn't believe it's not true, we're doing
great. So here's a little thing I got from, there's a little
meeting in one of the conference room somewhere in Washington,
DC, by the governance magazine, which is what all the state
governors and people who work in the government read, and this is
just the states are broke, and
states are broke states are broke
state budgets. And, you know, revenue growth at state level
had been about 6% For decades, until 2008. And just looks like
you know, half the states still are not where they were 2008.
And the revenue growth is not going to be that great. And
you're going to have Republicans who are interested in cutting
taxes further. But even on the Democratic side, you know, I was
really struck by this quote today in New York Times. Jerry
Brown, you know, the story was rare, bright spot for Democrats,
they said, this quote, was living within our means as a
heroic continuing battle here. You know, Brown has fought the
Democratic legislature to keep spending limited. And, and you
know, Pat Quinn, who lost in Illinois, he, he, he'd cut
pensions, but the unions support him because he thought Bruce
Rauner would be worse. I mean, the Democrats are having the
austere as well. And the Republicans of course, are are
more conservative on spending in general. So I think I think
that's, you know, that's gonna be the impact less democratic
venues and, and more Republican governance. Yeah, they
really, they need money, and they're gonna get money with
those devices. Put on your car. Yes. Easy money. And by the way,
it goes like this. This sucks that you guys are tracking me
with this stuff? You did you go over the speed limit or not? You
went over the speed limit, it says so right here. So what are
you complaining about? There is a speed limit for a reason. And
you went over it? Yeah. Oh, and by the way, this turn that you
made was an illegal U turn. That's 100 bucks.
The cab the taxi cabs in Amsterdam now have this, this
full on complete, as they've all by law now have to have an
electronic box, the box registers their speed, how long
they were driving, because you you have a personal card, a chip
and poke card poking pin. And you can pay a token pin and you
slide it in. And so that whoever Joe, you're driving the car, and
it won't start without it. And so it registers where you are if
you went over the speed limit. And they haven't been sending
out tickets yet for violations like that, but it's coming and
all the cab drivers know it.
Well cab drivers today, everybody tomorrow. I don't see
any reason why you wouldn't get in your personal car and you
have your driver's license, which is also a pokin pin card,
you stick it and slide it through some little mechanism or
you just poke it through one NFC connection, you just cheat. And
the car is like the kiss like this began with the keys that
became a wireless transmitter and you push a button to start
your car. But this is what 10 years ago when you first started
seeing these things. And you know, you have your keys in your
pocket, don't even pull the keys out because there's no key
holder stick a key and you just have a radio in there and then
you push the button the car starts up. This would be the
future of how they monitor where you're going, how you're going.
And it's not because I would say at least not in the beginning
that someday it could become this. It's not just to track you
so the black helicopters can blow you out of the water in the
middle of the freeway. It's to get money from you to get catch
you speeding and making U turns and doing all sorts of things
that are floating around and you should be in the hospital and
you're collecting insurance here. This is what it's about.
It's about the money. I recommend
everybody read the fine piece of work. by Ted Kaczynski because
this is exactly what he said on my phone that wraps up tech
news.
I'm gonna show my move by God to no agenda. Imagine all the
people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
quick, quick, quick shout out to void zero who is doing his best.
And it looks like we might have a hardware failure. Oh, well,
that happens a lot. It happens. So he's, he's working. And he
said, Okay, I'm able to explain. I'll explain it to you later. He
has a good idea. I'm doing a show. So while I'm doing a show,
I'm also like, I'm reconnecting streams. I do a lot here. You
barely know like,
Man was six arms. That's right. People can only imagine you
flying around pushing buttons and it's it's pretty good. A
are I want people to just imagine that's all
that's thank a few people for today's show, including Stephen
Hutto, Colorado who came in with a check bank check one of those
bank checks typing slant or whatever, which we'll talk about
a little bit on that Christmas show by the way 15678 So he's
got 5678 but a one that's interesting. I like it good
number cutting edge solutions in Scotland Glasgow. A 130 401 I'm
donating so that I can have a shout out about Russell Brand.
Last people in the UK by the way, this is not this this you
don't get a shout out necessarily for 13412 Shout outs
but a lot of people that you caretaking this self-styled
Jesus light for the masses seriously. Okay, well, we don't
know. Some link to the Rothschilds. Oh, I'm
sure Russell Rothschild brand anybody funny. These know the
ride on this drivel. Have you ever tried to read something he
wrote? Now? That guy doesn't halfway through my, my head
spinning? My eyes are popping out of my socks. i What are you
saying brand?
Matt you and Holly in Gatineau, Quebec, to my to my Jew 1312345.
And he said even though we got a complaint, we got complaints. I
laughed so hard with Dempsey's whistling sound on 667 Thank you
for this it made my day
there. I'm I always check in on the Facebook the no agenda fee.
I
saw that no agenda, no agenda complainers on Facebook.
It was really I've had it. I'm leaving. I'm out. I'm out. The
whistling in the harmonica. I'm out. I say
yeah, that's the same guy. So one guy, he hates the harmonica
because it hurts his ears and the whistling really got to him.
You know, the guy who wrote you about the harmonic is the guy
who said yes to
guy who is going you guys are kinda entertaining. But I'm out
to long winded notes. I got sick of it. I blocked him.
You answered with a long that you answered with a long note.
I answered him we I got fed up. I
had to say something. You were really pissed off? Yes, I
was. I think it's a very new way this guy handled it. He was
condescending, patronizing nonsense. I just wasn't going to
put up with it. And then the insults well, you're kind of
entertaining. We're entertaining even though you're where's the
call to action? Yeah, when he asked where's the call to
action? What is this seminar? I here's how it goes. By says your
call to action is playing sized seeds.

general delivery as ready.
Me see what do we have? Here's a couple things.
I've teased, thus, Nick Cohen are buddies? Oh, yes, yes. Even
Cohen? Professor Cohen. Professor Cohen, the only
reasonable person seems to be either that or is a Russian
agent.
Yeah, he's probably an agent. Yeah. So I'm
guessing. Yeah. So he's on one of the shows with Amy Goodman. I
don't know this was a PBS. And he gets into it with this guy
who's first I can't remember his name. Weiss. He used to work for
the State Department. He's kind of a pasty looking guy, which is
an apologist for the government. And he is see, I think this is
part let's start with the part one liars.
Was it William Weiss? No,
this is Cohen versus
so I think Oh, yeah.
Why is it why a member might be William pipeline?
Well, let me turn this to Russia. Stephen Cohen, because
you said a moment ago that that Putin or you said the Russian
leadership, at least a big part of it wants negotiations. How
then do you explain the military incursion on Ukrainian
territory, what we just heard from General Breedlove from
NATO, what he called provocative overflights over Western Europe
by the Russians.
I don't know how to put this gently. And I don't want to
sound disloyal to the people who represent our countries. But we
have had quite a few reports the not only from General Breedlove.
But from the Swedish and the British, about so called Russian
incursions that have turned out not to be true. And we've heard
these for months and months. And now in the last few days, we are
told that the Russians are doing all sorts of provocative
military things unmentioned It is a fact that NATO is building
up its military forces closer and closer to Russia. Do we
expect the Russians not to react? Can we trust these
reports that we constantly get out of Brussels and out of Kyiv?
I think that these are the utterances of people who want to
escalate the crisis. What we need now is a kind of leadership
that that sees war as so dangerous in the sense that it
might bring in Russia in the United States, that all the
energy and all the public statements are directed toward
negotiations. I simply don't agree with Andrew. That Kyiv has
made it good for In the effort toward negotiations, or even in
maintaining the ceasefire. Yeah, there
was there was something peculiar in that commentary that I didn't
catch right away. But it was the mention of all things. He didn't
talk about these reports coming from Latvia or a Estonia or
Germany, or anyplace else, but he mentioned specifically,
Sweden. But as Sweden got to do with anything, Sweden the way I
saw this, if you listen to that clip again, the way I saw at
least at the beginning, I saw this as Sweden was the only
country that would step up to the bullshit and actually be
counted as ya know, the Russians are making trouble I can tell.
And this tells me this is dimensional because this tells
me that that indeed, the Swedes are going to turn over Assange
if they get the chance they've sold.
Ah, well, they're always our special envoy. But isn't the
Swedish Embassy the one who communicates for us inside North
Korea?
I don't know. Maybe. Yeah.
Ron is always the sweetest Swedes there are no can't trust
a man and that SOB car. I mean, really, the you know, this an
Abba Come on. I mean, what else? rocks that kind of liked rock
set? Rocks. That was okay. They got tons of songwriters in
Sweden. Good song. The hoppy songs
Part Two, if you want to play it, of course.
Of course. It's because it's Professor Cohen. Please.
NATO's top commander, General Breedlove spoke today at the
Pentagon. What you
saw this past week was was a larger, more complex formation
of aircraft carrying out a little deeper. And I would, I
would say a little bit more provocative flight path. And so
it is a concern.
Okay, back in Kyiv. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has
called a meeting of his top security chiefs tomorrow.
This Yeah, probably should play back to first buy and
that's okay. It's okay. We get it. Well, there's a lot going on
today. In Euro land. Very big day for Spain and Catalonia
tensions are running high ahead of Sunday's vote, which has been
called by the nationalist regional governments of
Catalonia. With the support of pro independence political
parties and grassroots groups. Voters will be asked two
questions. Do you want Catalonia to be a state? And if so, do you
want that state to be independent, but the referendum
is technically illegal. The Spanish Government has
successfully appealed to the country's highest court to deem
the vote unconstitutional. In other Manyana,
what's going to happen tomorrow, it can be called whatever you
want, but it's not a referendum or something similar, and I am
not going to describe it. But I want to say that it will have no
effect.
However, the head of the Catalan Government, our daughter mas has
vowed to push ahead with a referendum, which he
acknowledges will not be legally binding. In an apparent attempt
to avoid further clashes with the Spanish government, Mr. Mas
has said that 1000s of volunteers will administer the
voting process rather than his regional administration. Polls
show that around half of Catalonia seven and a half
million inhabitants favor independence. But with most of
those who oppose a break from Spain, likely to stay away from
the referendum because of its illegal status, an overwhelming
win for the Yes, Camp is expected
that here's the kicker, they do not expect to have the results
for at least two weeks. Why? Because it's not an official
vote. And it's
because it's not official. You can't count is fast. It doesn't
make sense. Yeah, they
will also they need people to give people enough time to all
go to the polling places. And then they have unpaid
volunteers. Of course, it isn't
essentially a survey. It's yeah, it's yeah, it's
a bit of a survey. True. And but you know, it's interesting, it's
interesting getting, yeah, the Spanish. And I think that we may
have a hand in and I'm seeing professional looking signs, you
know, that's always a little
Oh, you what would it be the point of us?
I don't know, John, why not? Why not? Just
to keep in practice,
just to practice verbalization
we got a training camp in Catalonia that you're gonna get
there, you're gonna work on, you're gonna learn how to do a
little social networking. You'll be there for two weeks, and then
you're gonna work on getting divorced and y'all speak good
Spanish, right? Yes. Okay, good. You'll be there for a couple
weeks and then we'll see. We'll do it. We'll grade you
afterwards. Yeah.
It's a very funny report out of the United Kingdom's as now nine
countries have received an extra deadline extension for this
overpayment? Oh, this was a repayment in arrears for the EU
budget.
The payment doesn't great payment. I just am not following
this closely. But I know it's hilarious.
Well, what's so here's what's funny. The first of all, the
reason why it happened is because, you know, everyone who
said, Hey, we got hookers and drugs and stuff in our GDP, and
then the EU went fine. You owe us more money. Right? That was a
mistake. That was not good. And so they have to,
I mean, if these guys are smart, they say we're in a depression.
We have no money. You know?
Well, because
a lot of national investors, a lot of
countries are having problems. They actually don't have the
money. Bulgaria has to pay 7 million euros and they
haven't even got that.
Because they can't print money. You know, they're everyone's in
euros. So that's a problem. It's a big problem. So the UK steak,
the UK has to pay to 1.7 million pounds or two point something
and 2.1 2 million, billion euros. And this is not looking
good for for Cameron. So they came up with a ruse. And the
rules go something like this. Yeah, we fixed it. And we fix
it. We won't have to pay until next year and we won't have any
interest payments. We fix that and and the rest we get as a
rebate.
How did they manage to fix it,
Brussels asked the UK to pay an extra 1.7 billion pounds because
our economy grew more than expected. But it's now been
agreed half that amount will be offset by a rebate because of
the extra VAT raised and the outstanding amount will be paid
in two installments in July and September next year after the
general election. But the shadow Chancellor took to Twitter
because he announced the deal. Nobody will fall for this smoke
and mirrors he tweeted. George Osborne is simply counting
rebate Britain was due anyway. Not a single penny has been
saved for the taxpayer. He said compared to two weeks ago, when
Cameron was blustering in Brussels. And Mr. Bowles claimed
Cameron and Osborne are trying to take people for fools. They
failed to get a better deal for taxpayer
so they just
world's longest tweet. They do that in balls.
Yeah, head ball. That's That's what our device should be
called. Balls. Balls balls.
Okay, here let's try it. And balls. Yes, John.
How do you spell cantaloupe? Charles you're laughing at
me does not compute Will Robinson I can't do it.
I'm looking here we have the Euro at a buck 24 which is less
than $1 neck Nice. Nice. antastic nice. And that's been
take it she's I was hoping I was having two years ago. But now's
the time that now that your the the Japanese Yen is way too
cheap is at a buck. It's 114 it should generally used to be
parity at about 100. And then it became 80 Which meant that
everything in Japan was more expensive. And now that it's so
cheap, you this is discounting all the Japanese cars, which is
a disaster for Japan, Sasser for no not for Japan, they get
export a lot faster for our automakers, the way I see Oh, I
see what you're saying the British cars now there's a huge
added
showing make all that stuff nice of Alexis by 30% But don't we
make those cars here.
Some of them we do most of the best high ticket ones remain
Japan. And that also, if that's the prices here too, because the
parts come over from Japan. The British Pound is still a little
high at a buck. 58 But that's better than the buck 70 And the
price of oil is now down to 78 Oh man, and gold is down to 1169
So things are looking up for where's
the stock was a stock market up towards 1800 yet?
18,000
That's what I mean. I'm such I'm such an investor. 1800 Having to
astute investor 17 573
And I'm guessing it should crack 18,000 In the next month before
the end of the year.
This is not investment advice.
This I wouldn't invest at this. These prices. No. I would go to
Europe and especially if the dollar gets to a buck 15 That'd
be great.
What just go hang around,
go hang out.
I'm going I'm going to Europe. Yeah, well I'm not I'm saying
hey, my looking at my Why did Tom Collins come out?
You Tom Collins is out.
Yeah, Tom back to in the pants. Steve Cook. Sorry, Tim. Timothy
cook. Yeah, yeah, Tom, Tom cook call Tim or Tim Collins,
whatever we have, as I'm looking for more big names coming out.
So guys, I think that this, this thesis that there may be, you
know, it's to pave the way for Hillary to come out before she
announces her candidacy.
That is your theory.
I like it. If she did that. I think that is the that would be
the kicker. That would be the way for her to,
you know, not win. By finally something.
Latvian foreign minister.
Yeah, here's why she wouldn't win in this way. I don't think
this is going to happen. It would be a although it could it
could happen if she gets too bad advice that she normally gets.
But it would be a shot at Bill. Golf. Yeah, it'd be just a shot
at bill actually,
I think it actually would help him.
This blade.
Well, no. So then everyone say, Oh, well, of course, she was
gay. No wonder he had was horn.
Right. It would help me right. It would help him but it would
be a shot that would hurt her and she would not get elected.
Okay. It's not going to happen.
Latvian Foreign Minister Ed gars Rincon VR has come out of the
closet. Oh, and
he are correct in this assumption that this is going to
be a wave
and he tweeted hashtag proud to be gay. And this is the hashtag
you got to use. Proud to be gout.
So did you look at all that proud to be gay? Hashtag
bi I have not distributed that should be done now. Let's just
do it for a second. What does it It must be a lot on this
tweeter. Okay, where do I search search? Here we go. Hashtag
proud to be gay. Let's see what we come up with. And what do we
come up with? I have to go to all proud. Okay, there's quite a
bit there. This is a two lot about him. Ie Cole Ledford
You're so brave and incredible. To begin with, it's quite a lot
of products. When
do you want to use them? Like can they just all use the one?
Okay, I'll just leave it at that and see what happens
okay, we'll keep our eye on that proud to be gay. Now the
advocate this this I thought was of note, as you know, I always
tried to
have somebody who is proud to be gay lists as a kitten similar to
the one that I posted in the newsletter. Oh, really. Another
was one cat holding another.
I think that should be the subject of our next newsletter.
Hashtag proud to be gay.
I just say what the content see what the opens
are. Listen to me. The advocate. Are you familiar with this
magazine?
is a very famous, I think it's out of San Francisco.
Yes, a very famous magazine. And they have this paper actually.
Well, it's online. I don't know if anyone still buys the home
man. Have you noticed this that they now have? If you want to
read this article, you have to answer to survey questions.
This is a chicken. Yeah, yeah, I don't know that. But I've seen
that that trick used before. And
now I have I went to the advocate and this advertisement
and says continue reading advocate after this video. So
I'm sitting,
you're gonna be very intrigued by the kind of advertisement you
now get on Amazon and elsewhere.
Oh, because of my hashtag probably going to advocate.
Yeah, okay. Well, I'll keep my eye on it. Yeah, it's gonna be
hilarious. They have chosen their Person of the Year.
Oh, the computer
is dead computer. No, look, no. Please go to the advocate.com
and look at the person of the year but also look at the at the
cover of the issue. 1078 And look how they just look at it.
Just tell me what you're saying.
Well, I have to look at it first. Yeah, but you probably
have to sit Nick Jonas? No, he's the guy the year
No, the Person of the Year. Oh, come on.
I have a picture of the Jonas and then I have no man This
thing's a piece of crap it's loading every which way?
Yeah, well I'm sorry. Advocate going? The ad hits the ad the ad
because a bunch of jokes I can use about the way this is
loading. Yeah,
I know. Don't do it.
I don't see any person of the year link. Really? Oh Person of
the Year Vladimir Putin. Now
look at the picture.
Putin with it with a Hitler mustache Person
of the Year is the Hitler mustache.
And you know what's interesting about this picture of Putin, he
looks like clapper. No, no, he looks like what's his name? The
guy who owns the Chertoff he looks like Chertoff
it looks a little bit like Bloomberg To actually
the person who hears Lattimer Putin well, what's the point?
Oh, because
this is the gayest of all gay magazines, newspapers, and
they're calling him out as the the worst most homophobic
horrible Hitler Person of the Year they're comparing Putin to
Hitler in there.
Yeah, you're getting that now. Unfortunately, I can't see
anymore because I got some stupid advertising that cropped
up.
Yeah, that you have to watch for 27 seconds.
I have to watch. This is a MasterCard. Yeah, I've
got the same one. I got the same ones now. It's horrible. It
ruined
my experience. Is it a crime with advertising? You ruined my
experience. I couldn't even read the Putin piece.
And then of course, you know, they have all the stats and
Putin hates gays and Putin is anti gay in the Sochi Olympics
hate the gays
Yeah, it's a Putin is a Putin hit job by the advocate who are
obviously have been visited by that character whose clip you
ran a little earlier. The Hollywood Yeah, it's
possible.
It could be sorry that it is bought into all the memes. Here.
It'd be okay, quick. Papa Papa caliphate. So we had another
strike, the Allies strike. And we have zero evidence of
anything. And what do we get? We got dumbbell Baghdadi, we
clipped his wing. I think we got him we might have gotten him I
think we I think we I think we probably did something we blew
some up and we struck some
yeah and armed trucks were destroyed in the attack. But in
the statement and official from US Central Command said we
cannot confirm if is leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi was among those
present. This strike demonstrates the pressure we
continue to place on the is terrorist network. And the
group's increasingly limited freedom to maneuver, communicate
and command. It's not the first time there's been speculation
about the IRS leader being killed or injured. A day after
such rumors. In July, the terror group uploaded this video
claiming to show Al Baghdadi preaching at a mosque in Mosul,
how many times are we going to kill this guy?
Doesn't matter because the next guy will take the same name.
Right? Because not his name. It's just Al Baghdadi. It's like
El Presidente,
like these, like we had to do everything as we had used his
basketball angle. What happened is the President did not
convince anyone for his party. The poor job the politico, by
the way, is calling for him to fire Valerie Jarrett, which I
think is funny is a great article to get her out.
Yeah, she's doing this responsible for all these
failures.
But that's not going to happen. And now and then, then we had
this bombing Oh, we think we it's lies is just lie. It's all
cover up, cover up and lies bullcrap. So I switch over to
the BBC. I couldn't watch any more of it and the BBC or news
night in advance of the new Android operating system, which
comes out soon doesn't it doesn't? Don't we have a new,
it's called Skittles, or m&ms, or what did that what is that?
Yes, called name, cotton, candy, whatever, who cares. And but
Ray, our mark pre marketing. And this is what this part is pre
marketing that just like the iPhone, they will have complete
encryption on the device. So that no one can steal your stuff
from the device. Of course, this is not this is really a setup to
have everybody believed that it's all encrypted, because now
they leak all this stuff. And the whole idea behind Android is
to track you and have you upload stuff automatically to the cloud
and Google Drive and Google Calendar and Gmail and blood.
But I didn't think it was a noteworthy to clip.
In the latest manifestation. The new head of GCHQ Robert Hannegan
writes in the ft. Increasingly their services not only host the
material of violent extremism, or child exploitation, but are
the roots for the facilitation of crime and terrorism. however
much they may dislike it, they have become the command and
control networks of choice for terrorists and criminals who
find their services as transformational as the rest of
us. One thing that government agencies find maddeningly
frustrating is not being able to get hold of the wealth of data
stored on someone's mobile phone. Even if they have a court
order today, Google began rolling out the latest version
of its Android operating system this encrypts by default. The
result is that even if you pitch the most powerful computer known
to man against a phone like this, the phone wins the lead
Android security and
I know it's boy, it's bought Google. This is just bullcrap.
That's why like explain the
company's reasoning to Newsnight.
Whenever people have built systems and tried to make it
possible for only the good guys to get in, it always turns out
the bad guys figure out how to do that as well. And so this is
a system where we built it using the best cryptography that we're
aware of the industry knows about. And we make it so that
only the person who knows the password can get it. And there
is no backdoor there is no way that you can call a locksmith or
your best tech savvy friend and he can let you in. That's just
not gonna work.
It's called lollipop, the
lollipop to that conversation. Lollipop lollipop pop up.
They have a conversation in the studio in the studio, and they
have the CEO of last minute.com, which is the big last minute
travel booking site, very successful, huge. And of course,
the conversation that is now being held in the United States
of Gitmo, East UK is is should we have should we allow the
authorities to have access to our data through you know,
obviously a strong legal framework so that they can track
down them the child molesters or whatever and this guy says a
couple of interesting things
that we have to take this up with Brent Hoberman I mean bring
you know these techie guys are they on the wrong side of this
argument these
techie guys techie guy be any more insulting and
condescending? You news douche news? techie guy isn't is a news
reader. techie guys, everybody read ticky? Gay?
I'm afraid I feel they are. But I think what's happened is that
there's actually been a bit of an overreaction post Snowden.
And we've gone to this other extreme is that any sort of
access is terrible. And the fact I'm bit disappointed that Apple
and others are marketing their new phones and saying it's
impossible for security services to get in. If there is we need
more trust and security services. I agree. And there
were too many people that had access to stolen files. 800,000
people funding that word.
Did he just say 800,000 people had access to the Snowden files?
Well, that's not what he meant. I think that's exactly
what he meant.
No, no, I think what he meant was 800,000 people had the same
access as Snowden.
Okay, let me listen to it again. Maybe I'm missing.
There were too many people that had access to Snowden files,
800,000 people funding. That's, that's too I
see what you're saying. Okay. For 800,000 people had access,
but Snowden files so he had PowerPoint. So
it was the files that Snowden collected are the Snowden files.
There were 800,000 people that could have done that. Yeah. But
But this PowerPoint asked if they had access is what he's
saying. This being
No, no, but then I don't understand what he's saying. And
then I don't get it at all. What he's
saying is that there's all there's too many people with
this sort of
access. But that makes no sense.
Well, let's play the whole thing again, and then maybe we can
figure it out
the phones and saying it's impossible for security services
to get in. If there is we need more trust and security
services. I agree. And there were too many people that had
access to Snowden files. 800,000 people the funding, that's,
that's too many. Okay.
Yeah. Makes sense. What he's saying is that, you know, these
guys, he says, was this pendulum swing? And it goes one way to to
one extreme to the other was like ridiculous at 800,000
people had access to all everybody's personal
information, the Snowden stuff. And now nobody will have access,
which of course, we don't know is true. But it sounds like Oh,
they've gone too far. Maybe they should have done something in
between. So so the important security folks could at least
get into the phones if they wanted to.
Agreed. All I'm saying is, Snowden had no access to any
systems. He had access to PowerPoints that talked about
systems. Well, they've never seen any code or anything to
show the existence of this stuff. Yeah, no, that's true. So
I don't know if Snowden had access to it. He had access to
the
access to some files. Yeah.
And fucking I agree. Anyway, so I'll move on from that guy. He's
uninteresting. He wants it of course, he thinks it's great.
And then they bring in
what he thinks it's great that they're encrypting these
Oh, no, he thinks is great the that there should be access to
the phones. That's yeah, he's all in on
and we don't and this could be all I my opinion. This is all
bull crap anyway, because the deals already been done. Their
defaults are not secure. Exactly. There's just a fool to
dummies. Yes.
Yeah. And then we'll tell the last guy I'll bring in is x mi
six guy, Richard Barnett. And he of course is going to tell you
that what we need is a I think we need a serious debate, which
will be just sliding up To the inevitable people,
but I think the issue of trust is very important. Right. And I
wouldn't agree with your characterization of the security
services actions because I think they were very careful
particularly in the United Kingdom to abide by the law.
Whether you think that what the United Kingdom's security
services were doing, where the law perhaps left a bit of a gap
there Well, that's another matter but I think that
generally speaking GCHQ or the other agencies were very very
careful indeed to to always ensure that they were following
the letter of the law and the spirit of the law
trust being undermined by students revelations was one of
the additional damages he's done then clearly that trust has to
be rebuilt and and that therefore does give give rise I
think can room for a very useful debate.
intelligence work takes place within a strong legal framework.
We operate under the rule of law and are accountable for it. In
southern countries secret intelligence is used to control
people in hours it only exists to protect their freedoms,
protect their freedoms protect their freedom
subjugation contradiction is the fact that this world as you
surrender to them
and her head is gone
yeah, there you go. That does that summarizes the whole thing
that's it? That is it. That's That's it all right. Well, I got
the top dad I do have a funny out clip if you want to play it.
If it's funny it's funny this is the this is the thing I don't
like doing these but I and we've only done it once before but
they they're funny. Funny to watch and listen to. This is the
end they're easy to do I think that I think we could do these
you can just you can just fake sensor somebody make it sound
like the same something dirty if they have like, okay, what
are we doing? What are we doing a hard
a hard sound at the end of a word. It makes it sound obscene
if you censor it. So just play the okay. I am Bill O'Reilly.

Okay onto some entertainment news for you Taylor Swift just
more than a million even today's
for taking bathroom breaks.
They ended up making the media leave about an hour and a half
ago so they could bring in the dogs you fell
to the ground after you turn the behind
the lady my way through the Iowa State Fair. And if you go within
five feet of me it was probably because I was trying to hear
if we can teach you how to
come on. This will be good if you didn't make it though.
No, I stole it from Kimmel.
Now we playing Kimmel's bits on our show. Oh, that's lame. Yeah,
it is. Oh, that's not good. Oh, Joe. This is not
something we could do
it but then do it. Oh, okay. Then I have to play an out clip
because that was stupid. Ripping off Jimmy Kimmel who even
watches Jimmy Kimmel? I don't know. This is waiting. Yeah. I'm
jam brah I'm recording. I'm recovering. I'm recomposing
myself here for a moment. My goodness.
precomposed.
Do you come on the decomposing? I'm decomposing myself composing
yourself. Here is Charlie wrangle with broth still alive.
Yeah. Charlie wrangle is a prominent issue. Senator
Congressman thing is in Congress. He's a
congressman and corrupt congressman. No, I can you he
was busted for corruption. And he just locals just keep voting
him and we don't want any white guys in there. Well,
that's his message to I want to give you a chance. Congressman,
you and I have known each other for a long time to clarify
controversial remarks you said at a Governor Cuomo rally in New
York last week, you said and I'll read it specifically some
Have you referring to Republicans out there believe
that slavery isn't over and that they won the Civil War? Or what
do you mean by that?
I meant that, that they used to call themselves Dixiecrats.
These were slaveholding states. They've been frustrated with the
Emancipation Proclamation, they turned over became Republicans,
then they became Tea Party people. And these are the people
that are trying to frustrate people from voting, changing the
voting rights that we fought so hard for. And all I'm saying is,
if you want to challenge this, it says Next, find out where to
slaveholding states find out whether it would Dixiecrats went
Republican find out where the Tea Party is. And I'm just
saying that it's unfortunate America doesn't deal with the
problem of racism. But until we acknowledge that exists and
fight hard to eradicate it, then we still got to be frustrated by
people. They all come from the south, and they all have these
feelings about superiority. And that's true, whether you're
picking cotton or whether you're President of the United States.
So you're doubling down on those remarks. So you're not you're
not walking away from them, because as you know, they caused
quite a stir raising the specter of racism out there. And I want
to point out to you, an African American Republican, was elected
the United States senator in South Carolina, Tim Scott,
when talking about America, we're not talking about the
advancements that we've made a black president, the explosive
number of African American and others that are now in the
Congress and holy, we're talking about a cancer that we have in
the United States of America. America knows who they are, they
know how they feel. And we're talking about dealing with them.
Got it? I'm telling you I'm not I'm glad it played that clip.
You were sitting on this thing. You like it? Yeah, that was a
great clip in front of you and give me a clip of the day I'm
almost give me that. Yeah, that was a good clip. But that's that
tip. That's a classic, corrupt prick because a dick who's using
you know the race card in a in a way to keep getting reelected?
Let me run? Who's the big racist?
I'm gonna ask you a question. Works great, by the way. Yeah.
Am I really just blind to it? Am I really not seeing it? Seeing
what the racism that everyone keeps talking about?
Probably it's not I don't It's not is it was the white vote
that put Obama and how racist can you be? But but for now, I
think you had that other clip that when they like last week or
the week before that woman who was black, and they went to CNBC
Ryan Ryan asked me she was going on and on trying to make it a
race issue. And it wasn't she's in Utah, which is lily white.
Right.
But maybe I'm just not seeing it. Maybe. Maybe
you're not seeing it. I'm not is it
really that bad? No, no, it's
not bad at all.
I thought we've progressed quite a bit
about race. No, I can't. I'm not gonna do the segue. So I'm done.
All right.
Are you doing? Yes, I
am. Good.
I will be who else is on the show?
To people I've never heard of
really? Yeah. Ah. Okay.
Well done. Good. Although I have to
watch although I'm you got other things to do.
I got to play basketball with Mickey.
Basketball. Yeah, she wanted you to know how to dribble we I mean

she's never shot hoops and we have the never shot who No sir.
And I bought her a basketball.

have fun. Yeah, you have to dribble with you have to bounce
the ball with one hand only at a time you can't do it the way
I'm sure she knows how to dribble I'm talking about the
ball Yeah. Wow. Look just because you got in trouble with
with me me for saying that the beauty tends to fade. You know,
don't try and get me in trouble. This is not a beauty tends to
fade. It does. All right. Then.
never fades.
That There you go. Now you're attacking. Alright. I'm working
on a couple stories for Thursday show. Okay. Getting lots of info
