Oh, you probably stunk. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
I didn't remember 23rd 2014 Time forget my nation media
assassination episode 672. This is no agenda covered in the
grayness of Gitmo nation lowlands coming to you from the
pipe in the heart of Amsterdam in the morning, everybody. I'm
Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I remained I'm John C.
Dvorak. Raglan Buzzkill.
There we go, M and Q Skype crapping out his Skype crappy
No, I queued
it usually that's exactly what I don't have too much trouble on
your at this particular location.
We had some bad trouble the last time we started in this
location. Remember? No. Anyway, for those of you listening to an
audio stream.com We are indeed in our early starting at 4pm
UTC, I brought the UTC watch, just in case. And as we were
getting set up to start the live stream and the recording, I was
asked John said are you in at home? Are you up north in the
Portland Angeles? And John says I said no. I'm leaving for North
right after the show. And I said oh, you liar. And then I said
What are you talking about? I got an email last night. Yeah,
the first email is newsletter coming your way. Stay. You can
go to bed after an hour. Thanks, dad.
But you usually can't get out around you know, I thought you'd
missed the news.
No, I was really ready to conk out. I was watching Dutch TV,
which was tripping me out.
Okay, we can talk about that after you get over your little.
You love for here. Yeah.
Because after that, or I guess it came in this morning. Before
you went to bed. You sent me an email. Subject. Let's go early
tomorrow. And then in the body of the message for your sake
since you are a Holland. Liar. It's so you.
That's what I was thinking at the time. You liar.
You are not thinking you're thinking I want I don't want to
I gotta leave on time.
Four o'clock. I don't really need to rush but I was thought
to myself, I said, you know, poor Adams in the hall. And the
guy's gonna be like, it's gonna be like midnight, but it's how
we do the show. I should I should ask him we should go out
early. It's going to be 10. Then I said that myself. Well, and by
the way, you'll benefit because you can get a little more time
to pack so you won't have to pack last night I haven't packed
for your sake since you're in Holland bull. bought a bunch of
bull. Yep. Just it's so easy. I look right through you to work.
Yeah, you didn't notice it at the time?
Well, I actually thought to myself, is does he itself? Does
he not know that it's only six o'clock in the evening when I
start the show? And it was not like it's not like it's really
really late as my passenger
shares. Now let is the sun out?
Well, the sun started to go down around 430. It's now pitch
black. It's like I'm living in the Arctic. Kids horrible. And
it was already great.
Go outside. You maybe can see the Northern Lights? No, because
there's it's overcast. It's good. It's what happens in the
Netherlands. Near the winter or in the winter, we enter a
tunnel. And this tunnel is just months long. And sometimes you
never come out of it big until like July. And it's it's at
least it's not raining. But as soon as it's not really super
cold. It's the mid 40s. But gray just gray and depressing. And
there's so much to be depressed about
it that dour Dutch look. Yeah. But there's no Dutch people here
either.
They've been walking around. It's all gone. They're all in
the US. Yeah. They're all from other countries. I had dinner
with Christina. Last night. But have you ever been to Wagga?
Mama? Are you familiar with this? No, it's I know this in
the UK. I don't know where it comes from originally. So it's
kind of like an Asian restaurant but it's it's very affordable
and there's no you know, there's long benches it's like but it's
all kind of modern hard to explain. You should look on the
web, Wagamama.
And looking at it as we speak. Yeah. What a mama waka waka
Wagga mama Wagga Mama
Mama walks Wagga mama
all one word, Wagga, Mama's
walking mom or Wagga
Wagga, W whiskey Alpha golf, golf. I know you don't like me
to give you the code.
They don't Wagamama.
Please, why am I doing it right?
It's all one word.
Yes, Wagga mom was ooga booga. Okay, well while you're looking
it up, which seems to be incredibly difficult.
Oh, there it is. Wagga All right, you see what it looks
like British headquartered restaurant chain serving pan
asian food in the style of a modern Japanese ramen bar. There
you go. That's exact founded by Alan Yao in 1992 is old.
He's been around the UK and they have a new one open here in the
south of Amsterdam, and bring everybody in there was from
somewhere else in Latvia with a lot of Polish people. And I
immediately was like, Hey,
you when you go to a Korean restaurant, there's a lot of
Koreans in there. That means it's a good place. If you go to
a Chinese restaurant at Chinese to good places a lot of
Walgreens in here.
No, zero was no, there was no Dutch people, either. They've
gone they've just they've been disappeared. This is a lot of
the servers were Polish. And I said, Hey, how's that visa
situation? For those who don't know, this NATO ally of ours is
not on the Visa Waiver Program.
And apparently the only guys who helped us during the George Bush
war against Iraq. Yeah,
but why would we reward them for good behavior? Why bother? And
then this girl says, Yes, I know. I want to see my I can't
do a Polish accent really? I want to see my my sister she
lived there. And I don't get visa why not? Why can't travel.
I'm gonna say well, it's because we hate you. And I apologize on
behalf of the American public just very happy. But let me let
me reverse a little bit. John, if I can get into the getting
just give you a bit of the travels. A little travelogue
here?
Yes. Okay. And I want to know what happened. Okay, first of
all, let's start with let's start with a trip to the Austin
airport.
That's right trip to the Austin airport, which I did. Since my
wife Miss Mickey was in Houston, I took an Uber. This is a
important I think we need to speak more about the Ubers. And
this was a complete different experience. guy shows up in an
eye. It was the it was the right car, but it was what is this?
Like? What are the minivan kind of it's like a station wagon,
but it's a caravan caravan. Something like that. Yeah, like
a caravan. And it's trash. It's just like, I'm getting into some
guy's trash. Oh, and the guy was really nice. That's That's why
at the airport, he really knew where to go. But it was trash.
You know, just trash everyone just junk and the seats were
there achy. So strange,
like living in the car.
Yeah, that's what it looked like. So this thing does happen
as well. Get to the airport. Now I of course, had was prepared.
There's a two stage flight from Austin. First you have to go to
Atlanta, and you fly that with the the sky partner delta, which
means nothing is integrated. They don't know about each
other. None of your air miles work in the same place. It's
their sky partner. And then I of course from Atlanta, will take
KLM to Amsterdam. And I printed out my boarding pass that home.
And lo and behold, no TSA PreCheck and this will be the
third flight with delta that this has gone wrong. So I
can't you whip out your gos card or whatever it is and say, hey,
look,
not not to the TSA checkpoint. Now. They know I've tried that
we you'll recall we discussed that. And then even they even
say that's not a pre check. You don't want to argue with these
idiots. But I went to the desk and I walked Of course you
always walk straight into the premium frequent flyer airline.
Because they don't they don't care. Just I just this is a tip
for everybody. Another one I learned from Mickey being like I
have I used to be gold with kale. I used to be gold with all
the airlines and now I have I think they call it now you're a
schmuck. Yeah, it's called either it's pearl. You Carolyn
Pearl, which is nothing that's a startup
means you signed up
I ticked the box and I got a number. But you just walk up the
girl says Oh, come on over. And this was I knew she was going to
be good. I said going to Amsterdam before we do anything.
We didn't mean favorite would you retype my number my trusted
traveler number and then and then do the check in the
boarding pass and I could see that she was she was smart and
that she was I made a check. It was the number was already in
there was the right number. She reentered the number. Hits go
boarding pass comes out. I've got precheck so I don't know why
this worked. But
they probably don't like they the or they probably would. If
you did it at the kiosk instead of at home. You'd probably get a
pass. Now I just got my boarding pass just printed it out this
morning for Southwest and I got pre pre checking out even I'm
not a member of anything.
You're not even a trusted traveler. No. Have you done the
interview? No, I haven't I have did you pay $140 for your
Have you done that part? I'm going to lose that money if I
don't get my act together.
Interesting. How do you get pre check then if you're not a
trusted traveler?
Apparently, Southwest has its own system and they give it to
you if you fly them a lot. Wow, this makes no sense. It makes no
sense to me, but I'm not complaining. Yes, it's time to
get coming out to Oakland to going to Seattle. I usually get
it all the way back. This makes no
sense. It gives you supposed to be trusted traveler. You have to
have an interview. They take your fingerprints. Yeah. Okay.
Well, I got this fine, fine, fine, fine.
I'm not a sucker. Go on with the story.
So so that goes well. And I've actually gotten to the airport
early and, and I've learned now I take the microphone, which is
the rotor Procaster. I take it out of my bag. I'm just leaving.
It has a little a leatherette pouch that you put it in, which
I'm sure it's faux leather.
I'm sure it is. Yeah. And I've learned
to do this because then they don't go searching through your
whole bag to find this thing. Which of course looks like a
canister of C four or a Steely Dan. Pleasure toy. Because
that's what it really looks like on the on the X ray.
Oh, that's probably why they want to open your bag and yeah,
to embarrass hope the hope Yeah. Yeah, guy.
What's this? Mr. Curry?
There used to be an editor at I Spy magazine. This was before
the 911 Even he used to do this. If he was on a short flight, and
you didn't really need to pack a lot of stuff. He'd pack his bag
filled with dildos like the most extreme weird looking ones. Why
so they'd have to go through rummage through the bag.
That's funny.
Yeah, well, I
actually wanted to just fly but every single time now it's they
look at it and they can't identify it.
Yeah, just take it out. It's better. Yeah.
And they still do they still have to do you know rub it for
explosives rub my hands like God Okay, fine. Now I was in a
particular kind of mood already you know, I'm really trying to
do less electronic stuff in my life when I can no less the
electronic communications go on simple trying to do it and we
had discussed the book Babbitt by Sinclair Lewis had we not?
Yes. So I ordered that book a while ago and I it came and I
started reading it so I'm gonna read Babbitt now can you explain
the story a bit about Babbitt.
Just a story about a loser? Exactly. But he's not. He's not
a loser in anyone's mind, except the readers at the point where
you start feeling sorry for the guy. It's just a it's a at the
time in the late 20s. This is disappointing American
businessman. This is a kind of a overview of the American
businessman and how he's stuck living a life of memes, right?
This 1920s and the I think this is one of his famous most famous
books,
right? Yes, it's one of his top five, right.
And so you are in a very particular mindset that the the
language is a little older, it's a little old fashioned, the way
it's written. And I had just received before I left a box,
which was in the PIO box, I had to send one of Dan's books off
to one of our producers. He wanted me to have it signed by
him for his dad's birthday. Okay, so I had to go the PIO box
to the post office, I go to the box. And, man, what is this when
you open the PIO box and get someone else's mail? Who used to
have that box number?
Yeah, that's annoying.
That's really distressing. Yeah, it's quite annoying and junk
mail. Why? Why am I getting junk mail? You know, like circulars
for shopping at HEB? Why is that coming to the PIO box? I don't
understand this.
Well, they paid they paid to have it delivered to me, but
there's a program.
Okay, can get out of it. Alright. So this, this box is
heavy. And I just kind of opened it up before before I left in
there two beautiful books in it. One I had already read. But I'll
get to that in a second. But the other one is called The Science
of survival. Are you familiar with this book? No. Good.
Because it makes the story easier to tell. If this book is
it's like a reference book. You know, the annual like, I used to
have a Webster's Dictionary. We had it at home and has those
indents so you can put your finger and then flip to the
right page. Yeah. What's that called? What are those things
called
in deaths so you can flip to the right page?
I'm sure there's a publishing term for it. I'm sure there is.
You would know this that these things no I wouldn't. Okay.
Well, that anymore. Well, it's
beautiful. Really, really pretty beautiful book. Okay, great. And
the end accompanied with it is a letter a six page, handwritten
note. There's not a note it's a letter. It's a full on letter
from one of our knights down under selling. I'm trying to
read this, and he's a Scientologists and this book
science of survival is the book that L Ron Hubbard wrote after
Dianetics hmm. And and it's it's uh, it's interesting book and
there is some controversy, of course about it. But this is
about the tone of the tonality of people and what frequencies
they're on and just stuff that I'm that I'm interested in. You
know, I'm me, I'm interested in that. Yeah, this
is all right up your alley. Yeah.
Really, this this was kind of a nice, I mean, this old fashioned
mode of reading a handwritten letter. And I just thought, you
know, really, I'm just gonna do that. I'm gonna start writing
people letters again.
Okay, it's a lot more fun. Is that where this story that led
to was? That was that's not the punch line. Well, there's
not Well, no, the punch line is there's no punch line, per se.
But let's get back to the Okay.
Yes, you want to ask something?
That we're heading to Amsterdam? Scientology. Well,
we don't have to talk about it. You know, there. I was trying to
ask for an L Ron Hubbard. Loser. Laugh that you're gonna get
dead. That's adam@curry.com for all the Scientologists
listeners. Lafayette Lafayette.
Hey, Lafayette, you're here.
Now you remember that? Version? Two of the top? Scientology
church of Scientology. PR people? You know, we're in
Austin. And you know, we hung out quite a bit. So this is you
know, they're clearly on a on a path to get me to suck me in.
They do it. What's that? Nothing. Although,
you're, you've gotten the tickets. Right. So
anyway, so I do do all that I get on the plane in Atlanta. And
of course, they have the, the newspapers, the Dutch
newspapers. Okay. I don't know if KLM does this. I really liked
that. And there's three or four different Dutch newspapers. You
just pick one up and you go and you start reading the news from
that day, front page. Big big on the big tabloid, the telegraph.
The Dutch government has admitted now that they snuck
back repatriate but under no huge secrecy. Something like 16
billion euros worth of gold from New York and it came on ships.
And so they say, Oh, now a third of our reserves are back in the
Dutch bank. And it was really kind of a I don't know, it was
interesting. Could be this is happening a lot. We have Germany
doing it. Switzerland is talking about it. And it was just a
strange, the whole secrecy of it. Have you heard anything
about this?
Nope. And I'll tell you this much. Since we always end up
being the winners in these deals. That means the price of
gold is going to drop like a rock. Really? Yeah, until it
goes back up. And I mean, we'll drop like a rock to screw these
guys.
Hey, okay, well, that's a that's a good tip. But that one in the
Red Book. Okay, well, alright, so I arrive, I'm in the
apartment, my buddy's apartment and lets us rent it from him
cheap, because he lives in LA. And he's only here once in a
while. So it's all good. And then beyond waiting, I'm done my
dinner. I'm really tired. I want to go to bed. And then I'm
waiting for the newsletter thing. And just the Dutch TV,
John. It's really it's really insane. It's so I don't know,
you could have forgotten how crazy it is. And that was only
here like two months ago. And of course, we have seen the class
coming up. It's December 5. That's ads for board games. That
was the last time you saw an ad on. Like, before the news with a
family playing a board game.
I saw one on the Glenn Beck show on a slate.
I mean, there's no big news like real like real television. Oh,
no, never, never. Never. And then and then there's all these
the electric car ads because of course, they're all in the
Dutch. Does this Tesla's driving around everywhere? As we just
pointed out, subsidized by the American government of the big
car here's the BMW AI series. I haven't even I never even seen
this. Oh, yeah, it's been out here to follow the i three in
the IAT I'd never seen this. Yeah, well that's pretty cool.
It's really nice.
I like that I know I look
they look gorgeous. Or the I hate does looks gorgeous.
And affordable. Last two miles you've worked craps out and then
you're screwed. It's a hybrid.
No, it has a three cylinder. That's the hybrid that's right
and three cylinder but the i three I guess it's completely
battery. Yeah, three. Okay. Yeah. Okay, so, to finalize that
will be caught up here in the Netherlands. Besides it's gray
and gloomy and dark and dismal. The pain and poke thing of an
eye now have an American credit card with a chip on it for the
pain and poke.
Now this doesn't work. It works
completely the opposite. And people are looking at me like
what? Let me explain. So the idea is you pay for something
you you stick your card in To the machine, the edge one the
the short, the short side with the with the chip on it, you
stuck with the sticker on the machine. And then you're
supposed to enter your PIN number and then touching. This
is how it should work. I stick it in. Sounds good. I stick it
in. Edmond says, Do you want this transaction? Euro or
dollars? Why would they even ask that? It's the same amount?
Of no idea. So you do have that choice. I'll tell you why. So
there's some that mechanism, it kind of includes some way to
screw you out of $1.
I'm thinking to myself exactly that. Like what's the what's the
rate? What's the rate? I'm getting fucked on this deal? I
don't know what the rate is. Because they just say a number.
Well, shoot, hold on. Let me get one of these things right now.
Maybe this? This is okay, here we go. Ready for it? We say
they don't like terminal there. What are you doing?
I thought on one of these I saw that it had both the amounts
printed on it the Euros and
she killed calculator to make sure you don't get screwed.
Here it is. Here. I'm guessing. Here it is. It was the exchange
rate I got today. Okay. You'll love this. All right, here we
go. This is why it's done. You're absolutely right. This is
going to be an incredible revelation. If you take your pen
and poke and paste pass over to Europe, and you stick it in the
machine and it gives you the option of paying in US dollars.
Do not select that option.
That's for the dummies from America. So we go oh yeah, put
it in dollars as well and flip them.
And I did this today for the first time. And I'm here to
ready for the exchange. What is the exchange rate today
according to the John C Dvorak LIBOR charts?
Well, I'm if you want the real number, I can guess right now.
No, I need the real number. This is I'm gonna give it to you hold
on a sec. I have an exchange rate right here. Right here,
right. Let me tell you right now is the 123 86 123 86.
Do you have a pen write that down? 123 86. I also have four
after the decimal for the exchange rate by selecting US
dollars. My exchange rate today was 129 52.
Wow, they made but they made six cents on you. per per euro per
euro. But what is it? That's a ripoff? Yeah, yeah, they're
scamming. Yeah. Good.
So we learned that, but then But then you say okay, and that's
when the so first they say do you want to pay this? Okay, the
next step would be enter your PIN number, okay. Instead, it
says, Again, we'll get a little happy face like and then I
didn't enter anything. And then the person who behind the
terminal goes, Oh, well. And then some an extra piece of
paper comes out that they're not expecting to not just my
receipt,
but another they're stunned by that
they are. So far, I've seen it every single time like what this
Starbucks girl is really funny. And they are you have to sign to
what's the point of that? What is the point? That's dumb, it's
almost like Apple Pay. You still have to sign something. So now
it's like, it's accurate
that they they're holding this thing you signed? I've never
seen one before. What do they do with it stick in their pocket?
No, it's, it's what you they used to get when you swipe your
credit card. So it's identical to swiping your credit card.
It's just reading your information off of the pin. It's
a joke. So it's completely not interactive. Anybody can steal
this. Stick it in. Anybody can steal it, stick it in and rip me
off.
Yeah, because there's no pin involved. No
pain. That's bogus. It's just it's just a credit card and
they've moved the magnetic stripe info on to this chip. Ah,
I had no idea that was there was that bad.
Oh, you've learned something here. Already at the best
podcast in the universe where I am in the middle of bird flu.
Bird flu? Yeah. Oh, that's right. There's bird flu going on
over there. Yeah. What's the story?
I'll give you a little update. Probably should do this properly
as I've just I didn't even realize it because it's not just
any old bird that this is happening to.
Another 10,000 Chickens are to be slaughtered in the
Netherlands where a third case of avian flu has been found on a
farm. It brings to more than 200,000 the number of birds
killed in the last two weeks after there were also cases in
Germany and the UK The Dutch may be the worst affected but they
believe they've quickly taken the right two measures.
We've, we've announced a standstill, which means that it
is not allowed to transport, poultry, eggs, poultry manure,
and things like that no chicken shit here for the next 72 hours
from this area, but I'm from the rest of the Netherlands as well
so that we can, we can call we can keep the virus as small as
processed as we can. So checks risks
to human health remains small in this outbreak,
even this show this is this farm where the farmer indoors and
it's just a million little cute yellow chicks. And you can just
say you're all going to die. And they're cute and a yellow and a
little peepee and they're running around and the farmer
walks through them and they'll go listen to the kind of flow
around this feeder. Oh so cute. You're gonna die the
farmers are biting their nails ahead of them make or break
Christmas season.
I'm biting my nails when poultry
sales are sore and there are birds on nearly every European
table.
A couple of things about this report one people are eating
okay, I was this isn't an 11 year cycle. 2003 is when we last
had avian flu, bird flu in the Netherlands and I we had the the
castle light in Belgium. And we were we were no more than I
think two kilometers from this from the you know the circle
where they were calling all birds. And we had you know black
swans and ducks and just a million different would have
been horrible. They come in and because they would come in and
just kill everything. But I remember that as a burning event
and I haven't seen any of that. That's I think you have to burn
all of it. You can't just kill them. You got to kill them in
them burning.
Man I smell like a giant barbecue going on.
Hey, no one's they didn't say that they're not selling it that
they're just killing them now. They didn't actually save you
know how they're how they're disposing
of it. It's it's always astonishing to me how many
chickens they can just get rid of and nobody seems to be
affected monetarily.
Well, they did say that the farmers were biting their nails
because this is the big chicken Killing Season.
Yeah, they gotta bring up a new batch. Yeah. It only takes like
a month or so for a chicken to become mature I think.
And they're so cute and yellow.
Chicks. Yeah, little chicks.
Yeah, they're they're they're brutal. They're they're pecking
machines he see a.on Some though don't pack a little another
little cute little chicken to death. Yeah. The horrible,
horrible animals are reptiles. Reptilian the cute. They look
cute too. You know, I
hate you're telling me. I have chickens. We had this idyllic
idea of Oh, and every morning I'll go to the coop and I'll go
get the fresh eggs from the chicken.
You can't really eat it fresh egg by the way. Why not? This
sewage is just hashtag. For one thing this shell is still soft.
The egg hasn't congealed inside perfectly so it won't stand up
in the pan. It usually falls apart. You know it just makes a
mess. And you had to let it sit for a couple of days right?
But that's not the story. Soon you have the castle and you're
in this make believe fake life. With helicopter pads and stuff.
You have your hand under a chicken it plops a leg in your
hand and you're eating
almost like that. But here's how the story is differs. You go boo
boo boo boo boo. I'm going to my chickens. I'm going to get an
egg. And you come near at this end the chickens going from
their mean?
Oh yeah. Roosters.
Oh, and they pick at you and then they don't want even in the
coop. And then it hurts when they pack it when they pack your
hand like what? Yeah, well, yeah, to be more aggressive.
That's not That's not how the idealic story goes that you that
was that I grew up with?
Yeah, no, you just you put your take grab that chickens and
throw them every which way to grab the eggs and run for it.
Yeah, that's yeah, no, that's hardly ideal.
Like that's the best way to do it. Exactly. Yeah. And it was
very disappointing, among many other things.
Well, I'm glad you settled in.
Well, kind of, and the only reason I'm here is this is
photoshoot.
You're at a photoshoot. They're taking pictures of you on
Tuesday.
There's a photo shoot. With photo shoot. It's gonna tell you
the story. No, I was about a photo shoot.
Okay. Oh, yeah, it was Adam and Austin. Hey, there's a photo
shoot Adam. They're gonna take your picture really? Where I'll
fly there tomorrow.
Exactly how it went? Yeah, no. So they were putting to get the
Veronica magazine is it is the biggest has the largest
circulation. I'm thinking of a million And then copies a week
for country 70 million. That's not bad. No, that's like a TV
Guide, medium magazine lifestyle, then it's a
derivative of the old pirate ship, Veronica. But you know, a
lots, a lot of a lot of steps in between the old pirate ship and
this magazine. So they want to do a bit some kind of reunion
with all of the different people who have hosted the show
countdown. I don't know, maybe I shouldn't even admit it's
supposed to be some big surprise. I don't know. Maybe
I'm messing it all up right now. Oops. All right. Some some show
reunion thing. So they emailed me a couple times, like, Hey, by
any chance you're going to be in the Netherlands on this? And I'm
like, No. Then again, it's like, wow, you know, we're doing they
had this really cool idea and really be a shame. We can't do
this without you. And I'm thinking all night, I have to
say anything.
What happened was they were going to do this, but they were
going to try to keep it a secret and to get you to come they
actually had to tell you the secret.
I don't think it's that deep. I think it is no, I think they're
just cheap. They're just cheap. They're cheap, because and then
they said, well, we'll have Well, how about if we fly you
in? I said, Okay, I'll do that. Because I think it'd be fun
little trip for all I
see what you're saying. Yeah, they were hoping to God that you
are going to be there somehow, someway.
Because they're cheap. With a million copies a week. Cheap
bastard.
I understand. They're cheap press, very common. And then the
guy says, Okay, we'll
do it. I said, okay, cool. And then I was like, it's easier if
I just, if I just pay for it, I'll order the tickets, and you
can reimburse me. So then it would have some money in the
Dutch bank account, which has no money in it. And then I would
have that, you know, just as, like a backup. And the guy's
like, okay, great. Just to reiterate. We only pay for
economy class, like find out really cheap, cheap, cheap, and
I even said this. Oh, yeah. Okay. You know, fly the guy in
who's the tallest? Yeah, put them in economy. For the photo
shoot me here. Photoshop. Okay. Make it economy comfort. Okay.
Economy.
Oh, that's at least something I'll give you that. Did you
can't have that. I know that ever since they invented that
economy, comforter economy extra, whatever they call, it
depends on the airline. They made all the other seats, you
might as well shoot yourself, if you got into one of those seats.
You could never you can't even get out here. Here's that
little known secret. They didn't create economy Plus, they just
shrunk the economy down to three rows and then put in smaller
seats in the back. Yeah, this is what used to be normal. Like,
oh, my knees are not actually touching the seat in front of
me. It's not by much. And until the person you know, puts the
seat back, and then you just have to go with the flow.
Sequence anyway. So that's why I'm here.
Okay, well, that's fine.
I thought it was good. Yeah. And that way we get to get you out
of
the house. Yeah.
We have just seen the spreadsheet just came in. Oh,
wait for that. Yeah. As Eric didn't was unaware of our
scores. On telling him
I know, I have the same thoughts. Why would Oh, you
know, I didn't tell avoid zero. I was like, Well, I didn't tell
him why would you have to know
they should be able to, they should be able to figure it out
on their own. I think that everyone else you got to tell
somebody everything.
I think that they're always listening to every single second
of the show. Um, no everything. You know, that's what you hope.
I'm always surprised. I'm always surprised.
Well, then you might as well greet me and get on with the
show. All right. Well,
thank you very much for your courage. And let me say in the
morning to you, John C. Dvorak.
In the morning to you, Adam curry also, in the morning to
all the chips that see boots on the ground, feet in the air subs
in the water, and all the Dames and nights out
there. Yes. And in the morning to everyone in the chat room. No
agenda stream.com checking us out live on the stream. And also
in the morning to our artists bring this up here. artwork for
671 dictator. Now this was wasn't an evergreen.
Yeah, it was an evergreen. Yeah, we couldn't find anything. There
was very few submissions. It was for the last show disconcerting.
I
don't think it's ever been that maybe there was something wrong
and sometimes it goes on the fritz, you know, to the
headless Drupal as possible. But it was so we had to dig into the
Evergreen box. Right, and which there's lots in there. And you
could find something in there. Usually that will suffice.
Suffice is the key and sufficed. It was good.
Okay, so I'm just getting them. Did we get any support today?
Oh,
okay. Well, we do have some people. Thank you. Let me thank
them.
Hold on. I know what I need
for show 670 And yes, please
Please rise recognized
Grand Duke I said, Hey, David Foley's tops the list today with
a 345671 of his favorites Thursday show, he says, was an
excellent example of why this is the best podcast in the
universe. The breakdown and analysis of several key topics
was incredible ratable balance with a lot of humor. Please send
some no agenda karma to all of us traveling this coming week
for a safe journeys that includes you that karma
I love that. Not just like a financial contribution, but
actual kudos.
Yeah, yeah, that was that was good. Really good. Do you have
the beginning of this long note that was sent here by our next?
This is associated by the way, Foley's the only executive
producer this Dave de douche. Dave, the douche in Malibu 6666.
He'll be the Associate Executive Producer for show. Six, seven to
install, it sends a note that starts out out there that might
love the show. On a
second. Let me I'm working on you only one very small screen
here. So I would say well, thanks. Just taking me a little
bit.
I know what he said. There's people out there that might love
the show, but don't have the guts to donate because they're
either nervous about being called out on a list some day,
or they find you terribly amusing, but think you're
batshit crazy, or they would never donate to anything, et
cetera. Hopefully, they're doing their part by propagating the
formula. And some of them are so smart. You guys are definitely
the most fun informative show out there. I actually liked the
fact that I don't agree with some of the things you say which
speaks to the whole promise of the no agenda philosophy, to get
deconstruct to scenarios we see in front of us and think
carefully for ourselves about who or what is behind them. From
that perspective, I am forever in your debt. One of the many
blessings of the show is to remind us that we are all free
thinkers that should ultimately come to our own conclusions. I
have a movie coming out.
I love that nice, slick,
cold aftermath which I provided the music and I'm one of the
producers I think that no agenda listeners will love it is right
on topic regarding the depth of devolution of the human mind as
it becomes infatuated with money, sex and power, not
necessarily in that order.
And he has a special offer, which I put in the show notes.
Okay, well, what it is, as it gets harder and harder to do
something edgy and creative. It's seen in the screwed up. X
Men 15 Batman 25 types of time is only playing in New York and
Los Angeles. Okay.
We've got the two major markets that's good.
Yeah, well, this is the to me.
This was Chris Penn's final performance.
Yes, there's aftermath. final performance he did an amazing
job Tony Danza is also incredible. And there are quite
a few other excellent actors in it people are saying aftermath
is a style of Reservoir Dogs and True Romance. Michael Anthony
Hall gives a stellar performance for his total asshole.
Michael Anthony Hall who's here again,
look him up. Which is sadly enough isn't much of a stretch.
If that sustains them I guess if any of the no agenda listeners
like it, please hit somebody in the mouth. All right. Okay,
anybody that goes to see Azure method says in the morning at
the box office will get $3 off the ticket price. Or you'll get

very happy to vouch for you to vorak.org/n a, in addition to
that kind of support, we always like to propagating the formula
our formula is this we go out for yet people in the mouth
because there was mentioned about the flags and the you
know, the nonsense about ISIS. There was a interesting
incident. I think this was an Al Shabaab incident. I have a clip
which gives I think this gives you a nice some idea of what you
might want to just maybe do in your spare time. Maybe you know
if you'd like to memorize certain things played, play them
memorize clip
on a second. And this was on what again?
This was on France 24 I
believe 28 people were killed today in a predawn attack on a
bus in northern Kenya.
When does it say Al Shabaab gunmen singled out the targets
by asking them to recite a passage from the Koran. Those
who could not were shot in the head. This story? Yeah, that was
KTVU our local station memorize it, you know thing I hear you
say something and you're good to go? Crazy.
That's really that's really interesting. I
mean, I would I would assume that most Muslims have that
don't have a chapter and verse they can just spew. I mean, I
know most people can't do that with biblical study. I looked
at my eyes into the hills from whence cometh my help My help
cometh from the Lord he that shall protect the so the
sunshine had burned day by day with the moon by night. What are
you reading that Psalm 121? I'm not reading that. That's from
memory. Some of you remember. Yes. memorized this. That's our
going away prayer in the curry family. Oh, isn't that
interesting?
That's very interesting that every single time it's a very
cultish.
Yeah, I think we are a cult No, this is whenever we would leave
the homestead Mead Road, which is where my my, my dad grew up.
And the grandparents had that place until they passed away.
And then we're done is now three ponds. I think it's called calls
it now.
So when you leave, is there a garden front? He says, yes.
Seagull flies at night. We all stand in your past.
Listen to me, when we leave when everyone's leaving from one of
these gatherings. But it has to be not just when Nikki and I
were there. But if there's a whole bunch of family that we
all stand that is called as crap. We stand in a circle. We
hold hands and then the youngest grandchild know The oldest
grandchild has to read Psalm 121. And I'm always happy when
Lucy is there. Or Allison because yeah, we ever want to
bow of crap. I gotta read the prayer.
Oh, this is interesting. Yeah. And then where did this derive?
I'm sorry. Where did this come from? Who started
it well, this. This is the way to have been there ever since
for years. It goes back to when they were when they no idea but
it goes with yells above Psalm 121 is not the devil again, like
now I can't do it. I'm really conscious of it. That's really,
really bad. I lift up my eyes into the hills from whence
cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord. He that she calls
shelter me to the assumption of Burmese by day nor the moon by
night and
something like that. Well, it's worked so far. Oh, this is a
good point. You're superstitious anyway. So Oh, yeah, I there you
have it.
I did. Well, that's part of the OCD Tourette That's thing a lot
of people have that. Well don't do don't step on the cracks. I
have to say Cinco Demayo.
Actually, I remember that in this special I saw in the
Tourette's and a lot of Tourette's sufferers. Yeah, you
won't step on a crack and they won't step on a lot. And they're
there. They do crazy things like that they were gonna do they see
a pen is not sitting in the right place. They move it. I'm
not that bad. No, no, but you're a neat freak. Not really think
you are but you are, believe me? I should know.
Right?
How do you know? Because I can spot a neat freak a mile away.
I'm not all that neat. I was thinking to myself, I wonder if
he got his training in the army? Or he's got Tourette's.
You've always thought that huh? Yes. All right. So while we're
being frightened on France, 24 BBC has their own version of it.
Within an hour of the charges being announced. The three men
were driven into Westminster Magistrates Court in two dark
blue armored high security police vans, they were
accompanied by unmarked cars. The hearing lasted less than an
hour, and the district judge quickly passed the case on to
the Old Bailey. The suspects didn't ask for bail. The three
men appeared in the darkened standard police issue gray
tracksuits and laughed and joked through parts of the hearing and
some of his laughter and jokes at the heart of the charges
against them is that there was an alleged eminence plots to
behead a member of the public in England that were detained in
dramatic armed raids in High Wycombe, and West London. Three
days before Remembrance Sunday.
Am I living in a television show? Hey, I hear you're gonna
chop someone's head off. You're under arrest.
They could have thrown in a cab in a giant armored vehicles that
protect dangerous men
who have somehow said they were thinking about cutting people's
heads off. I mean, it's one thing to say that we're plotting
a bomb because then you even if it's not true, at least you'll
think now they had ammonia they bought that and nails and
trapnell and pressure cookers a beauty salon. Yeah, I mean, I
get all kinds of visuals that are all good to go. You know,
but then when you say I'm going to cut people's heads off, so
what were they doing like sharpening their blades? You
know, just doesn't sound like a real big offense.
You know, I think it's gonna be hard to
prove. That's why they were laughing and joking.
Well, you know, the thing is, is these some of these guys I mean,
we had this with those characters that were caught in
the Florida warehouse. They're plotting 16th street
they were they were the Barack was Dumb and Dumber, alpha
they were just these dumb guys.
Cool, man, whatever. Josh and with each other and the next
thing you know they're in jail. Yeah, of course they probably
shouldn't be but that's beside the point. Right? Just for being
stupid. Fantastic. So now you Kip I got it right you have a
British Eclipse it's wrong in Britain for there for a second.
You kept grows by one. Oh,
no, it was a local election but the eyes of a nation and indeed
the world were on it. The anti EU party have won a second seat
in British Parliament.
That was front front page news here. I didn't see it. So the
world was I but it wasn't in the United States. Nobody cares or
even knows that you Kip is yeah, that was actually a it was that
was actually a story. Yes. We picked up in Holland. Oh, yeah.
Because
you can because that's another reason to talk about field he
had builders. You know, so you Kip blah, blah, member in
Parliament. But you know, you know he couldn't work it out
with head builders. The crazy guy on the right. He's nuts.
Look at his crazy hair. Yeah. And somehow a lot of people
still vote for him very funny how that works. You know, it's
one of those that may be very Dutch also. I'm going to say
this but I'm going to do that
that guy's reversal Yeah, yeah, I
guess it is stupid. Why don't we just why don't we just say
because
people don't it's politically correct this it's just what it
really came from
that's really an unnatural state.
Anyway, so that guy one but he used to be a Cameron guy he used
to be a conservative on it, you know that he switched sides
because you know what he did was he looked at the way the winds
blown in his areas district and he said hmm, I better do this or
I'm gonna I'm gonna get kicked out of here by some UK guy who
actually comes in as real UKIP. Right? That's what it was.
There was there was something pretty significant that happened
in European Parliament. And and it's I think it's probably got
zero cover I don't even know that here. It's something that
we've looked at before. In a lot of the dealings during the the
euro crisis, they, they celebrated the singular or the
single super Supervisory Mechanism, which has now been
put in place. And this is a financial sign an agreement
maybe I don't know exactly what the legal form of this is. But
it's all the banks now are the controlled from Brussels and the
end the European Central Bank, every single bank in every
country in the EU zone. And haiku. Herman is still here. He
I guess, I guess he gets to sit all the way up until January 1
and December 31. And he celebrated along with everybody
else is one of the final. This is the the the whipped cream and
the icing really on top of the Haiku Herman cake.
It's a great pleasure to be here and to take the floor at this
important moment. Take the floor.
Guys, don't this is clownish.
Yeah. Yes. I'm glad you see that way to
today's inauguration of the Single Supervisory Mechanism and
supervisory that's what I supervise three
signals, evolution in Europe's financial architecture
revolution, the definition of a revolution is that they captured
something they overtook something. These I think these
words matter.
Just as importantly, we are celebrating the opening of a new
chapter in the wider history of European integration. The
banking union is the biggest leap forward since the creation
of the euro. The banking union cool it is for me a particular
satisfaction to celebrate the break to today at the very end
of my European mandate, which has been so much shaped by our
crisis response
now. Yes. You're so awesome. Thank you for saving us
It feels as if lab wachler Eboo clay paler booklet
Michael Michael, Michael boob lay the book of the blue clay
booklet. It's a French thing
as we are as if we are coming full circle.
I guess it means as if we are as if we are coming full circle.
I also want to take this around goes around that's got to be
what it is. Oh, make sense
on these premises to thank the European Central Bank. Haha,
thank you. And in particular, it's two presidents sharklet
Tricia, and Mario Draghi.
Man, these guys are all congratulating each other too.
I'm surprised they're not pinning metals on each other.
Wait for their role in attaining the crisis of the Euro zone.
Put that in the book, put that in the book. They already have
the sash thing going on?
Yeah, put it in the book. I'm putting it in
metals to be awarded to European EU politician. I think that's
broad enough. Any politician can be awarded a medal.
Being a new European currency for the world financial system.
I didn't quite understand that.
He's talking about last that last little bit one more time.
I was like, What do you think about it is a new currency and
didn't quite get that it was a little pricey in
the euro zone and shaping a new European currency for the
world's financial system.
A new European he's talking about is the euro. New World
is not over. The four presidents report on a genuine economic and
monetary union is a roadmap for the upcoming years. The next
frontier will be to move towards closer economic policy
coordination. Yeah.
closer economic policy coordination,
we know that words do what we say. Yes,
we when we're putting metals on each other's breast. This is
when you will do as we say with your money.
The challenge will now be to bring back sustainable growth
and jobs
bring some growth and jobs. This will be the challenge.
He also we must put aside two booths, the booths
about the caboose in your taboos.
What did he say?
He said he went taboos taboo as in taboo things oh taboo taboos
is that back sustainable
growth and jobs. He also we must put aside two booths.
There are a lot of people who listen to the show and really
hate it when we laugh at people how they pronounce stuff.
It's great ideology obsession in my head
oh no I'm messing it up now it's not just to booze it's
ideologies on on
site to boost to boost ideology obsession obsession and be
pragmatic as a result oriented
boosts I don't know
legend gentleman we doubt growth and jobs the European idea is in
danger but we can overcome what is
the European idea that just enslave everybody
yeah yeah he's got it threat
to economic policies are not an aim in themselves financial
stability is not an aim in itself we are doing this to
safeguard and increase prosperity for all Europeans
are going to save you and they're going to give me a metal
for it after I've saved you Europeans
to consolidate and deepen our European projects,
consolidate and deepen our projects
when we keep these fundamental inspiration in mind is the DC
like as a high school assignment? Their produce is
like insane Yes,
I know. This is exactly what I was watching TV I got this like
it's happening here John is happening
course it is. And next thing you know that take the bikes away
and the Germans will be running everything when we
write though, man, if so right. Oh, by the way, the probe into
the US NSA spying on Angela Merkel, the German have said oh,
yeah, turns out that was nothing didn't really happen. So we're
just we're stopping with the probe. It's all good. Now we're
fine. didn't really happen was just some phony baloney
sandwich.
Quid pro quo. We don't have any idea of exactly. How about that?
Yeah, she was miffed about it. And I guess finally whenever her
own spy agency went up there and said don't worry about it. Well,
the people should it says we've already got did another study.
That's all balanced out. It's everything's good.
The BND the German intelligence. They're good. I hear that from
Agent Orange. BND guys the best in the world. He said he thinks
about it. He thinks better than CIA. Yeah. Really? Well, maybe
domestically. I don't know about how they will internationally
is pretty hard to beat us. But the Russians what what is their
thing? It's what's there. Is that KGB anymore? It's something
else. FSB. FSB. Oh, you did? Yeah. You were talking about the
FSB? What's the German one?
No, no, no, no, it's B N. D, the Germany and the BND.
FSB. Right Fs. Russia is better than the FSB.
Just Hey, man. Why are you questioning my sources?
I'm just asking. I'm asking. I
don't know. rhetorically I don't know. I guess that's what I
heard. And that's why
I'm putting it out there so I can get some feedback from one
of these guys who knows? Yeah. And is BND just domestic and
foreign or assistance and this is separated out like the Mi
five once you look it up I don't know. I don't know. I don't care
I do not
care this is this is a new John I'm hearing I just don't care
California has finally caught up with me sad Well, okay. Into the
military industrial complex we go then outside of intelligence.

willing to say Okay, that's the best kind of tweet be inspired
with dogs and Disney Jr. Just saying thanks to those who keep
our country safe.
Ah, no, there's no militarization taking place
nothing bothers me what bothers me the most? This is all you
know just uh I don't know what the point of any of this is
these little kids aren't paying attention but it's one of
they've changed the the net the baseball besides having a big to
do at the beginning of a game you know they sing the national
anthem and all of a sudden which I think by the way sporting
events and this this proud to be an American combination is I
think it's I think it's demeaning to America to be
honest about it of course it is. But then now in the seventh
inning instead of the seventh inning stretch whether you take
a little time off between so they can you know do the field
and smooth things out and then they used to sing Take Me Out to
the Ballgame some time now they've changed it to singing
America the Beautiful with a with an armed guards you know a
bunch of
armed guards really well I'm in Marines
and they're holding marine guards well
this is his legs new income mine
how much of this what are they gonna do this the football game
every activity at the end of every quarter they can sink
another patriotic tune it just dumb
why not you already and have been a fight and kind of mood
you know as your guys against their guys this is this is the
whole thing this is that's just the American version of the
people here sitting here waiting for the Germans to come and take
their bikes away again it's the same thing it's the same thing
you're gonna get your bikes taken away again
it's had it's so offensive that you have no idea
that sure they're all a fellow that's not true. The AU is great
but do we have a lot of we have a lot of listeners who are big
they're very it's just like the global warming of Europe yeah
well so right along these lines there was a producer one of our
producers sent in some info about this security forum that
was being held in Calif x at Cal Halifax when I say Calif Halifax
California so I did from now on we'll be able to callate facts
and this forum is known as fortress North America. So and
this is what I guess let me see who's running this? Well, it's
obviously just you know, military industrial complex and
sent us this clip on this forum if you if you look around you'll
see this is really just what they have the tanks on sale and
all the cool guns and it's really just a it's like it's a
gun show trade show just a trade show. And they're great. And
what are their featured speakers? Of course, who would
you expect at a at a show that likes to sell gets changed stuff
that kills brown people in sandy areas? Now come on that guy that
guy's a zombie, you know, how about someone who's in you know,
in Congress now? Oh, well,
Rogers.
Give Think bigger asshole.
Think bigger asshole than Rogers. Think bigger asshole.
All right, tell me, John McCain. Ah
Westlock from the Halifax International Security Forum, I
want to point out something here. We have the largest
congressional delegation ever to come to Canada, led by Senator
John McCain of Arizona, and Tim Kaine from Virginia. Thanks very
much. As Senator McCain, you've been involved in this form since
the beginning. You're obviously seized with the issue of how we
operate here in North America especially cooperatively, what
do you think about the idea of creating a greater fortress
North America? Does that make any sense to you?
Well, it makes a lot of sense to me. It's very little doubt of
what the intentions of ISIS is. And organizations, but this
guy, are they going to come over here with their fighter jets or
their or their battleships,
submarines, man, they're on their way with their floating
Toyotas and their white sneakers,
with the pontoons on each side of the pack. Yeah, this guy
designed from
Haiti. Exactly. This is why we need to have more, more, more,
more, more. Now. I'll be the first to say economically
speaking, the outside of the petro dollar. It's all we got.
So we might as well. And we're doing a good job because we're,
you know, we're, we're selling stuff. We just sold $1.2 billion
worth of C seven teams to Australia, which is four of
them, by the way. And 90 600 million to Iraq in cool stuff.
Yeah, it's all in the show notes. By the way. These Yeah,
it's all registered.
I have not done did not. We both agree that this is good for the
economy,
right. So let's listen to the rest of it. This guy who is so
the only problem I have, he's just sitting there just giving
you some, really some bull crap to justify doing this. And the
problem is I don't mind you building it and selling it to
other people. But eventually you have to like light it off. And
that sucks. You just kill people
particularly as we see them strengthening and in large in
their influence throughout the Middle East. Mr. Baghdadi who is
the leader, as we know of ISIS, who spent four years in our camp
Buka in Iraq.
Wait, I mean, I thought we got him did we like hurt him to me
chopping arm off or something
nice another guy who the same name
on the way out the door said to his American captors, then he's
bullshit story
by the way, New York.
Really? Didn't I just set that up by telling you he's just
talking crap.
First of
all, he's not known for his sense of humor.
So I don't think there's any doubt that
he says Baghdadi is
not known. He does not know for his sense of humor. Brian, by
the way, there are pictures of McCain and Baghdadi. Just like
the same pictures of McCain
and I wonder about those. I don't mean to, it's hard to say,
Photoshop. It's got Photoshop written all over it. It should
be at least your national
intelligence, the director of the CIA, and our Director of
Homeland Security have all stated that ISIS over time, pose
a direct threat to the United States of America. And that of
course, means Canada as well.
Don't you remember?
All those ISIS guys who got Canada in their sights? Yeah.
You know why? You know why the US Air is you know why they have
Canada in the crosshairs and you're why they hate the
Canadians.
Because of their
for their freedom. Oh, that's the same as your freedom.
They're jealous. Oh, I
can't remember that. So simple.
They hate Yeah, they hate them for the freedom.
related note, I've got three clips that kind of there. I'm
directing these at McCain. Good. Let's start with the story.
Nobody's knows about the United States that I can tell. And this
is these are reports and I'll tell you in advance these are
reports from an RT, needling us you know, that's fun. Yeah. Many
of the reports RT is very entertaining news network,
especially if you have the channel RT not just the
occasional RT show. You get to watch all this stuff. They're
constantly needling us in one way or another. And here's a
good one. This is the dead journalist in Turkey story that
you've never heard of.
Let's go Good to have you with us. Our top story this hour. The
US prides itself on defending its citizens abroad. But the
mysterious death of a US journalist working in Turkey for
Press TV has so far failed to trigger reaction from Washington
Guyanese check Ian looks at more.
It's been a month since the death of journalist Serena shim
in Turkey, and the investigation is still yet to release any
information. On October 19. Serena is rental car collided
with a cement truck exactly two days after she claimed Turkish
intelligence had accused her of spying and threatened her. I'm
very surprised at this accusation. I've even thought of
actually approaching Turkish intelligence and because I have
nothing to hide, and I've never done anything aside from my job,
and I'd like to make that apparent to them. However, I am
a bit worried because as you know, and as the viewers know,
that Turkey has been labeled by Reporters Without Borders as the
largest prison for journalists. So I am a bit frightened about
what they might use against the Turkish police say her death was
an accident. We had our tea have requested a comment from the
Turkish authorities and are yet to receive an answer.
All right, wait a minute. Now I want by the way I want you to
look her up so you see what she looks like.
Because you know, my neck my my next question. What's her name?
Serena ser en a GM S H I M
S H I M? Okay, let's see if she's hot.
See if she's this is like the downfall of the show.
Okay, you're proud She's beautiful.
She's She's gorgeous. Yeah. Nice eyes and she's pretty and she
you know we're right in the headpiece in the social guide
kill nobody's talking about this because she works with that
crazy operation that or that Iranian car accident. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, cement truck apparently rolled into or she or
full right in front of
us. I'm looking at pictures of yeah, not looking good. Okay.
Now she sees a dead dead woman now. So play part two. And this
is where it gets kind of interesting when they discuss
what she was working on how Serena
Shin had been actively reporting on militants being smuggled into
Syria from Turkey. I got me Have them in the in World Food
organization truck over the years, has been accused of
turning a blind eye to and even at the inflow of militants into
Syria. They're just
pulling that same stunt again with the UN World Food Program.
It's a complex weapons pipeline.
It witnessed it as the story goes on. It turns out that many
of the ISIS fighters are coming directly from Turkey through
these bowl craft organizations. Corn is just joining ISIS right
through Turkey and she's got the goods on him. So they killed
her. Yeah. Now, at the same time, I've got this clip. Well,
this is going on and we are just oblivious. Wait
a second. Where is where are these? These journalists who
fight for journalistic integrity? Where's Glenn
Greenwald? Where's the Jeremy Scott Hill? Where's Laura
Poitras? Where is the outrage in the journalistic community?
They haven't gotten their walking orders. They don't know
what they're doing what they're told to them. Let us
be outrageous for her.
Well, we shouldn't be Yes.
What's your real journalists? Or is she?
Oh, she was she could have been a spy. But this is important.
She was working for us.
That'd be less she was our spy. She's our spy. I believe that
just impossible. Can't go. Cement trucking are spies.
So now we play Biden in Turkey.
This will not stand. That's right. Biden was over there.
Man. you're on to something here. John. you're onto
something big I can feel it already.
Biden wants Turkey to step up its role in the fight against
Islamic State extremists. The Turkish president wants the US
to focus less on fighting the terrorists and more on toppling
Syrian President Bashar Al Assad. Biden also announced that
the US will give an additional $135 million in humanitarian aid
to help feed civilians affected by serious Civil War
humanitarian aid.
So something's up here and Turkeys right in the middle of
it, because we suspected we knew it was gonna happen. We knew it
would happen. And but it will exactly how the rift is going to
take where we we tried to overthrow this guy with some of
our, you know, tech experts in the rest of you know, twittering
and takeover that park and there's been some riots and
that's been they backed him off it
Yeah, that that didn't work. And then he got rid of all the we
were in the EU in Ukraine. Right.
But I don't know we have to do something because this this
can't stand if the if we're the scenario we've created with the
ISIS threat being bolstered by the Turks, which is screwing
things up so they can be you know, somehow get involved in at
some point. I don't know I don't have a good overall thesis. All
I know is that this is taking place, this woman's death as
part of it. And Biden's over there, you know, trying to do
something and he's just a schmuck.
He's the messenger boy, he is they were the messengers.
He probably told them to just stop doing something and then
you know, the know there was something that we don't know and
just see what
what Serena shims background is. She has a very, very, very small
wiki page for someone with journalistic it's a journalist
of Lebanese descent. This is her entire wiki page
was a lot of it was no Wiki pages.
While covering the siege of Kobani as a war correspondent, a
correspondent of Press TV, she was killed in a car crash so
that is the entire intro and then biography American citizen
of Lebanese origin, who could have already got it past 10 So
they wrote this after she died. Interesting in her biography
that has one line Serena Shem a 29 year old American citizen of
Lebanese origin covered reports for Press TV and Lebanon Iraq
and Ukraine she was she was married and had two children
this is new biography
yeah just popped up I wasn't anything there before
accusation of spying by Turkey. Here we go. Shim told Press TV
the Turkish national intelligence organization MIT
had accused her of spying. She stated that it is probably due
to some of the stories she had covered about Turkey stance on
the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant militants in Kobani.
Alright, so yeah, so they they accuse her of being a spy and
then killed her. Um, this is an unfortunate accident.
Yeah, it's a terrible coincidence.
Yeah, what's very funny
today so that's what's going on. They're using these these NGOs
as cover to move people from God knows what part of the Turkish
Government or the military into a system to work with them and
take over the place or summers I think turkeys got expansion is
ideas and One Direction What do you mean expansionist? I think
they want to expand Turkey. You know, they're always worried
about the Kurds are part of the thing that's just take over the
place.
So what they would want to northern Iraq, they would want
Kurdistan?
Yeah, I think so. But why not? Why wouldn't they?
Don't they have a big problem with the PKK, though, is that
that's why they have to that's they have to get rid of the PKK.
In order to do it.
Yeah, you always you surround everybody with a by taking over
the place. I think there's a definite invaluable, I think
they'll use it as a, as a proxy state, ISIS as a proxy state
doing Turkish. I mean, when they when they were bombing that
Kobani area, and that northern part of Syria, or that part of
Syria, near the border, they had their they showed lots of B roll
all along, during that entire episode of the Turkish army with
all those tags just standing there. Just stand as though they
were gonna do something about what was going on. But no, they
were just there to protect the border and make sure that things
didn't go south for the ISIS folks. Well, they're in it to
their right to their neck with ISIS. These guys. Yeah.
the Fidella Gulin hasn't been very successful with with any
kind of internal strife. That's the, our guy in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.
Our guys not didn't cut it, the whole thing fell apart. They
didn't have any information on steel. You know, their dinner. I
know. It's a problem. Like
if we were having the meeting. I mean, I'd say there's very
simple. There's only one thing we can do for Turkey. We got to
give them some Ebola.
I don't think they're going to get a bowl. I think they're
going to I would guess the only real action that could be taken
is assassination.
Yep. Which it wouldn't be the first time that tried to kill
him.
Yeah, he's been, I think, yeah, right. But I'm gonna put in the
Red Book that
he's gonna get these. I think that's already in the Red Book.
I think we already
are the ones gonna get shot. Yeah. Poisoned or something.
He's got to be freaking out.
Yeah. Interesting. Always fun to watch. Die.
Meanwhile, of course, in France, there's the big scandal because
of the Frenchman joining ISIS. And this is kind of interesting.
Okay.
I hadn't heard Yes, even though I'm not that far
to focus on the French citizens who are continuing to join the
ranks of the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq.
That's right now, an estimated 400 of French citizens are
believed to be fighting alongside the Islamic State
group. It's really been in the spotlight this week, in
particular, after it emerged that at least one French citizen
had been identified in the latest video that was put online
by the Islamic State group. This is the front page of Liqua, the
Christian paper, it's wondering who are these French jihadists?
And it takes a closer look inside interviews, some
specialists to try to put together a profile Who are these
young French citizens who go fight jihad? Well, according to
this article, they're often isolated. People who are are you
know, have become self radicalized online. And that
that kind of prized hunting ground the World Wide Web, that
is the debuff has shown today, the prize hunting ground we're
living in one of those hunger game movies here, John uns like
that. Now, here's what I heard the second part of this clip,
which you're gonna play, which is Frenchmen to, I realized this
mean, well, I know we've maybe touched on on bitching about it,
but I think we really have to compete start to complain about
this particular meme, which is, at this point is now getting on
my nerves. They talk about
the online jihad. And they point out that the Islamic State group
is very active online. I have very good communication skills
online. And well, this propaganda I manage to attract
these young French citizens to Syria and Iraq
online.
The meme is that these guys are really good. Yeah, online.
They're really online. And how does this How does this Why did
these guys so talented, supposedly, with online
propaganda, twittering, they tweet so well?
That's easy, I guess because Oh, crap. They were trained by
Hillary Clinton. Unless the ban techno experts. Yeah,
absolutely. This bowl went well.
But I mean, I'm getting annoyed by how talented the ISIS people
are. They're a bunch of guys driving around Toyota trucks and
machine guns strapped to the back of these things in hooting
with a kind of a generic flag that they got there swinging
around and chatting to people.
I mean, I am very, I like a lot of let's put it this way. You
have much stricter filters on your email than I do. And I have
so I get a lot of stuff and I do have to implement filters when I
just can't get rid of it. And I get all those Some not
necessarily spam, but there's a lot of promotional things that I
get. And I'm always intrigued to see what people are doing. And
I'm pretty open and susceptible to getting stuff including you
know, print Nigerian Princess stuff and you know, Pay Pal.
Hello Pay Pal member, please click here update your account
profile with password, okay. But I have just never ever ever,
ever come across any ISIS movement. You know, I'm on
Twitter a lot. And I presume that I don't have to speak
Arabic and all the Arabic tweets that, you know, that's not how
they recruit. Just kind of people who are ready to be self
radicalized? No,
I have no idea. But all I know is they're great at it. Yeah.
That people believe what they want to believe. All right, so
many Biden was also in. He went to Ukraine. Yeah, he's been he's
been on the move. But that's in his portfolio. It's always been
Ukraine has always been his his deal. And then they release a
fact sheet. I'm on all of the White House. News Feeds it. Some
of it's just fascinating sometimes. Now, we had to get to
talk about remind me to talk about the Afghanistan extension.
Like, we're just going to be there another year don't need to
talk about US assistance to Ukraine. Now, what we hear from
our government and and the media's message is, you know,
Russia has taken over, they're encroaching. They're crossing
in, you know, the redrawing borders that just total
revisionist Russia crazy guys taking over the whole country.
Is that kind of does that sound right?
Yeah, no, they're horrible people that listen to what we're
doing.
The United States remains firmly committed to supporting Ukraine
as it works to establish security, restore economic
stability, strengthen the rule of law advanced the fight
against corruption and carry out democratic and constitutional
reforms. Bingo Boom shakalaka. The United States stands with
the Ukrainian people in their choice of democracy reform and
European integration, your choice. And in pursuit of these
objectives, Vice President Biden announced today in Kyiv, that
pending approval from Congress, the White House will commit $20
million to support comprehensive reform in the Ukrainian law
enforcement injustice sectors, including prosecutorial and anti
corruption reforms. The Vice President also announced the US
will be directing an additional 3 million to the UN World Food
Program emergency operation Ukraine for food rations and
assistance to people displaced by the conflict in eastern
Ukraine. And then I'll just skip down a little bit. Here are the
this is a whole fact sheet examples of US assistance to
Ukraine in response to the crisis include the following
economic stabilization reform and growth, Ukraine issued a $1
billion sovereign bond fully guaranteed by the United States
that I like, yeah, yeah, well, we know that can't take
guarantee their own bonds. The US loan guarantee was part of a
coordinated international effort to ensure Ukraine has the
resources it needs providing 27 billion to Ukraine, as it
implements its IMF program. Hello, you people, citizens of
Ukraine, you are the IMF program. Just so you know. The
government the US government deployed is immediately
following Ukraine's change in government. The push in March,
the US government deployed advisors to help stabilize the
financial sector and implement key reforms in partnership with
the Ukrainian finance ministry and national bank who's taking
over the country you might ask yourself in the EU, they did a
big deal with the EU the EU, remember it was Russia or the
EU. But who sends advisors? Well, that would be us and
there's got
Georgia as one of our buddies with you know the George Bush
airport. Oh yeah. And we might as well have these guys because
we were creating the buffer state that Russia is trying to
create but we've got we're it's us we're creating buffers says
but what is the point of it? Why? Why don't I take this
apart? Is it possible that we think the EU is so incompetent
and boneheaded? That unless we set the gravity we set we
stabilize and set the foundation correctly, though, just screw it
up.
John. I think I have to remind you
Does that ring any bells?
I can see why Putin is irked. Yeah, what he's got to be
thinking who says Does it anybody else? See this is so
obvious what's going on
now? Well, Yeah that's exactly what we talked about earlier say
this do that if you live in Russia crazy horrible
revisionist nutball taking a case a duck taking over the
Ukraine invading sovereign no no we're at listen. We we are in we
are running the government the finance sector here security
sector we're a government committed equipment and training
for Ukraine security forces. This assistance includes
provision of body armor helmets, vehicles, night and thermal
vision devices, heavy engineering equipment, advanced
radios, patrol boats, rations, patrol boats, wow, tent, counter
mortar radars, uniforms, first aid equipment, supplies and
other related items falling under the other category. The
United States also began a process led by the EU European
Command and Department of Defense civilian and military
experts, experts sounds like consultants to work with Ukraine
to improve its capacity to provide for its own defense. We
gotta teach you we teach you democracy we teach you how to
kill people when you tell we tell you to. This includes
medical and security assistance. And then there's national unity,
democracy and human rights and media. Oh, John, would you like
to hear it? We're doing how we're helping the people of
Ukraine.
Oh, yes.
You gotta you gotta say yah, yah. Yah. Yah. Yah, yah, yah,
yah, yah. I love that guy. The United States has contributed
funding and personnel to the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe. That's the O. S. See, you hear so much
about the special monitoring mission. That is monitoring and
providing daily reporting, particularly in the conflict
regions in the east. That's the United States and Europe,
Ukraine, United States. During Ukraine's presidential
parliamentary elections this year US assistance supported the
work of international and domestic election observers.
Here's how I go hey, listen, do you see what I'm seeing? Oh, you
don't see it that way? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, wrong. I'm
monitoring you. This is really bad. The election observers as
well as efforts to strengthen election administration. Yeah,
we're good at that. How that George Bush thing work with with
Al Gore. And we're very good at votes, voter education, election
security and independent media. Haha, I guess I must have missed
my invitation. You This Is Us assistance is also supporting
Ukrainian constitutional reform efforts. And now they just
closed their coalition. So they have five parties now together
will be the coalition of this 300 person parliament. And now
that now that they have a coalition, they can now change
the constitution. And that is what we are assisting supporting
Ukrainian constitutional reform efforts that will drive
decentralization and help Ukraine meet European
constitutional standards. Okay. US government is supporting
civil society organizations, NGOs, to engage in public
outreach, participate in the government reform process and
monitor and defend human rights. And here we go the Broadcasting
Board of Governors, we know who they are, don't we, John? No, I
don't Yes, you do. They're the ones who wanted the Smith Mundt
act overturned.
Oh, those guys. Yes. So propagandize the public at
large? Yes, the broader Ukraine isn't just as susceptible to
that as anyone. The Broadcasting
Board of Governors BBG launched Russian language television news
programs airing in Ukraine that are produced by Radio Free
Europe slash Radio Liberty, RFP slash FL, and the Voice of
America, as well as multi language, and the Voice of
America
and all that. So instead of letting the Ukrainians do their
own damn news, we're like taking over their stations. And we're
broadcasting as though is local,
and we have multilanguage websites devoted to events in
Crimea. You really listen to our news. And then we got Archie
like saying, Hey, I'm just being a bad boy by saying these
things. We're running their shit. And also, of course, we
are providing some energy security to the helpless people
of Ukraine. Government has worked US government is working
with other international donors. Who could that be? international
donors? What is this? The US government is working with other
international donors to help Ukraine develop strategies to
ensure that energy subsidy program AMS are targeting the
most vulnerable Ukrainians, and to increase and use energy
efficiency, including among households in the industrial
sector, a new program will accelerate new investments in
energy efficiency. Hello, this is the sales office calling. We
got shipped for sale here. People that put the Please enter
the international donor line. You know, these international
donors as well, they can they are they can join in the new
program to accelerate investments in energy
efficiency.
There'll be a trade show next, def welds is going to be selling
to Ukraine, that'll be the name of it.
No strengthening no strengthening Ukraine.
Something like that. Well, if you're honest, it'd be called
selling to Ukraine, and then
just human assistance, Deaf screw up. It's sickening. I
can't even do anything here trade diversification and
promotion. The US government is providing training and technical
assistance to build Ukraine's expertise on World Trade
Organization obligations and rights and how to meet WTO food
safety standards. Oh, my God. You see what's happening?
Oh, that's interesting. So they want them in the WTO.
The at least one to understand. Yeah. That's for sure. It's
what they want. Yeah.
The often
interesting Ukrainians are corrupt. It's a corrupt society.
Well, you know, what
can happen then? Somebody
for a ride here?
Huh? Well,
I think the great okay, you guys wanted to do all this.
I just want to hear what you said. The Ukrainians are corrupt
society. Is that what you said? Yeah. Really? Everybody in
Ukraine? Yeah, like saying Americans all are crazy.
militaristic, eight holes. Yeah. When you did that yesterday?
Yeah. It's a different guy. Anyway, so that's, that's what I
have there.
Well, at least we're doing our job. I actually do it opens up
the door with some donuts. Or CIA guys roaming around the
streets during that period. I can't believe that part. Oh, no,
I was just there on vacation. Yeah. Did he say some crap?
Yeah. And can you imagine if there's the head of the FSB was
like, get to occupy right. On vacation now on vacation, on
vacation. I love New York. This is not this is not this gotten
to the point where it's almost. It's almost so laughable that
it's like, it's almost as inviting being found out. I
think nobody cares. It's like, it's up to us. We kind of like,
okay, so this is this is an overall observation that we have
gotten to this point where so for, for example, there's, most
people have heard about this Jonathan Gruber guy, who was the
speech writer and opened that speech right to the economist
from MIT, who put together a lot of the Affordable Care Act, and
he's on the all this video saying, Yeah, you know, if you
want to get something by the stupid vote, or the stupid
American public, you got to twist your words, and you got to
sneak it in. You got to trick them, right? It's not even that
hard. You just, you just don't say you just say don't say
anything, don't even put it in there. Because they're dumb,
then they don't care. They're not going to find out. And this
of course, is generally true. But it's also it's also a
thought I had with Uber. So here we are, we're, you know, the
press that that completely compromised technology news
press, which is owned by mean all these guys are owned by the
same group of investors. And it turns out BuzzFeed who broke the
story of this uber executive who said no, we're going to use our
God view and we're going to check on Sarah. Sarah Lacey's
crap. BuzzFeed broke that story. Same investor in Uber. And Lyft
I'm sorry, not Eber Lyft. competitor, competitor
competitor, of course. Yeah, so that makes sense. Right? So this
is how these things work. What's the guy's naming him?
Both Lyft and Uber have been known for dirty tricks in the
past?
Yeah. Which is okay. What's this guy's name? Hold on, just get
you the guy's name. Oh, and of course, the thing is, that
BuzzFeed didn't disclose this while writing this this piece
about Uber. They should have they should have said hey, we
don't one of our finance years is invested in Lyft
Don't you think that well, they should have yes, they should
have I think so. can leave out can liro Who's gonna know? Yeah,
yeah, I think this disclosure thing you might as well just
forget it. At this point.
I just I just wanted to make a different point though. Okay.
Okay. So back to You know just how stupid we really are just in
general as citizens. So here we're celebrating this uber
company and you'll see they're valuing it at $30 billion. all
this crazy stuff. It kind of hit me yesterday. As I was taking
Uber back and forth as Wagamama. I took an Uber to the Wagga mama
man I'm such a hippo they have Ubers in Dutch Yeah, and works
on your same account everything is really quite stunning and so
much easier. May I hope taxi Eric never hears me say this,
but screw it so much easier. Now of course, these guys wind up
paying 25% of their you know of the that's the vague for being a
part of Uber. But really I was thinking about cab companies and
what this has disrupted if you will, in turn, the experience is
really good, but really we're talking about taxi cabs. Okay.
Now maybe they look better and these guys have a suit on but
really ever since I've been on this planet. Going back to the
original TV series taxi remember that with with Brian De Palma
and Tony Danza De Palma Louie De Palma de Palma, who was who was
a little tiny
little friends with little guys little actor. Yeah, yeah.
What's his name? Yeah. Danny. Danny DeVito Danny DeVito
character Danny DeVito what's the guy from Mash no Club was he
wasn't the guy from mash in there for a while
got to the point we don't care unless the actors to have some
bearing on
it's all crap it's always been crappy crummy. It's a scummy
business and these people I talk to the Uber driver that driving
around drunk people who throw up all the time it's a crappy
crummy scummy. It's a horrible business to be in. It's not for
it's not for the A elitist like, Well, that's all that Uber is
for. And it's expensive. But really, we're celebrating the
fact that people who are kind of middle class have now moved down
into taking their car like a slave. It's true slave to the
man and we're celebrating a unit of people puking in your car for
money. It's fucking sad people. I got to the point I took me a
little while but that was good.
I liked that one. It wasn't one i bitched about wasted all my
time with that that's no it's a very good point is you've
actually you've summarized it beautifully. You've taken the
middle class that was a successful group of had a nice
car had a nice car it was a nice cars and then usually two of
them in a dead two car garage living in the suburbs doing just
fine sending their kids to good schools. And then you know, and
they were not you know, saving a lot, but they're doing very well
now. They're reduced to having to be a second rate cab driver.
I'm gypsy cab. Toilet job now.
And they're happy about it. And yeah, they feel good.
That's what's so pathetic. They're happy about it. They
should be revolting.
Yeah, it really is that because it's been dressed up in this
beauty of, you know, misogynistic, bro, guys. No,
it's even better. Now. We're a big worldwide club of people who
have been downgraded.
The whole country. You've got to downgrade it? Yeah. Well, I'm
telling you, you get in the car with Uber guy or gal. You say,
Oh, how's it going? Yeah. Good. How long? You been around three?
Do you like it? too? So do you draw you to do a lot of the
night? Yeah, it's a lot. It's always busy. So how do you like
people thrown up in your car? Like, yeah, well, this is kind
of difficult to get on my nerves. You don't have to watch
him. Yes, you can. If someone's in you, and you think they're
gonna puke? You have to say, you know, you can't totally get out.
You know, it's troubling. And these people aren't hardened
cabbies, you know, wait until a couple of them get their throat
slit.
That's true. This is this reminds me now that you
mentioned it. And now that you mentioned it. This is funny,
because I've been looking for an analogy for this. Now and I
believe maybe this is it. Uber and Lyft. And the other there's
another one hold on one
second. I just want to know, I just I just need everybody to
realize what is happening here. I I have a sound effect. Hold on
a second before you get into it. This is this is what happens
when two guys come together for an unrehearsed performance.
John, let's hear your Uber analogy.
Well, I'm uh, you know, I'm always into the 40 year cycle,
because I believe 40 and 80 year cycles, like determine the way
things go. And I never found an unalloyed an analogous situation
for a parallel. We're actually parallel and analogous, I guess,
something that was very similar. And it but not the same. And so
it's not those things running. It's not a thing that's running
in time together. So thing that happens, and then it happens
again. 40 years later, hitchhiking, was you right in
the 70s, late 60s through the mid 70s. Everybody was
hitchhiking. I knew two guys who hitchhiked All the way across
the country that was
that was Uber without
the app. This is Oh, this was this ride sharing. In the olden
days, there was no app, you just stick your thumb out and people
were and I used to. I used to pick up people all the time, but
at the time, I was driving around a motorcycle. And so
maybe it seems to me I got stories, but it seems gerbils.
Give me one story of a hot girl a
lot of girls hitchhike and you always give them a ride. Yeah,
okay, I got my one story. So I took my bike up to Tahoe to
gamble at Caesars because I wanted to go see BB King, a BB
King.
Hold on. Just hold on a second. Because we remember this theater
of the mind. You took your motorcycle. Okay, it's cold and
it's snowing up there. Let me just say that sequence again.
I took my motorcycle up to Tahoe, the CDB Kings II up there
to see BB King and I figured I'd gamble Wow. And how old were
you? I don't remember 24 Something like that. You have
like long flowing hair and my I have very thin hair. I still
have the pretty much stay here. It was the motorcycle what kind
of motorcycle I was a Kawasaki triple. Anyway, rice burner.
Okay. Oh, as fast as I can here would I forgot too long. I get
the split ends and make my face itch. So I never could go really
long here is driving me nuts. So I go up there and I go to the
tables before the concert. And I win I don't know, to $300 and I
decide that that is spending the night I'm going to come back
after the BB King concert I go watch and I had a great seat is
right in front. It was like a lounge Jack BB King and we were
doing blow or just drinking anything no scotch, no weed. I'm
on a motorcycle bad enough with a big gouges in highway ad that
you get killed just driving back. So I say I did concerts
around me and I say hell with it. I'm driving home. I'll save
the hotel cost and I'll just drive home. So it's it's not
quite snowing, but it's below zero. So it's freezing here.
You're aware that it's snowing.
And it's but I'm gonna get there it says once I get down the
hill, it's not going to be snowing for long. Wow. And so I
start to get the what do you call when you get too cold. It's
called hyperthermia. I put there I start getting hypothermia. And
so I'm driving a Lambo and so I go into a gas station and make
the mistake of warming up which is you know, because you if
you're going to be cold yet you want to kind of keep your you
don't want to go warm, cold, warm, cold. So I got so I
started shivering like a maniac after I left the gas station
after I've warmed up because once that was so I started
driving on the entrance. There is a beautiful woman hitchhiking
I mean, dynamite you guys she was dressed up in a lot of gear,
you can just see your face is fantastic. And so she's
hitchhiking, and I pull over to ask her if she wants to go but
hey, hey, I'm so cold and freezing. I say to her and she
takes a look at me like I'm a crazy guy. She pulls out her
gun. She knows she slowly walks backwards like Homer Simpson
says no. And I realized I go fuck it and I just drove by.
Yeah, it's guy couldn't talk. How to
pick up chicks by John C. Dvorak with a C stands for chick
magnet. So that was It sure wasn't the ludes
nine balloons
I've never had one of those in my life and pickup artists
there's this interesting thing isn't a pickup artist bullcrap.
This is the story going around about this guy who does the
pickup artists seminars. And he's and this bogus story shows
up on France 24 about what's going on with this guy.
I can't find it. I'll
see pick up this cup artist bullcrap.
Sorry. Okay, I got it. Oh, by the way, John. Great story.
Thank you. I really appreciate everyone loves us. So those
Wait, before we go get out of the story for a second. Okay,
everyone shake it off. Yeah, back to reality.
An online petition requesting the Brazilian authorities deny
entry to a dating coach that is unique and bla has garnered over
400,000 signatures from Brazilian web users in just a
few days. The self proclaimed pickup artist is currently at
the center of lively debate after a sexist video showing you
in full seductive mode was posted online early November.
Web users the world over outraged by his behavior and
tactics. from Iceland to Singapore from the Netherlands
to the United The Kingdom the online petitions keep coming.
Okay.
I have some publicity. This is fantastic. We can be dating
consultants. You're a great one. John, John C. Dvorak consultant,
divorce hacking. And what a great story this is exactly how
to how to learn, listening to you.
This guy is obviously a promoter of the highest order. He's
managed to get these petitions started against himself to get
news about he I never heard of Julian LeBlanc or whatever his
name he's
a controversial dating consultant, and controversial
dating consultant. Nailed it. You just gotta piss off women or
gays. That's that seems to be the way to do it.
That's what Chick fil A did. They pissed off all the gays and
now their business is way up. Yeah. Because all the gays which
were showing, you know, they were tweeting pictures of two
guys and two girls kissing in front of the Chick fil A
and people were like, Hey, I'm gonna go there. Hey, wait a
minute, or it's my two guys kissing got ripped off again.
But Chick fil A? I am not very good. What? What was the
controversy? You just had some sexist things. He was like,
I don't even know I don't know. Barely. He's he's got a seminar
where he says sexist things about women and how to
manipulate him or so I don't know. I have no idea. But all I
know is that the great promotions be great promotion,
great promotion. That by the way, that was just the beginning
of this. This was a package that went on for another two minutes.
Oh, wow. With pictures of him in front of crowds
on France 24. Yeah, that's that's a good start. Because
they're seen as a, you know, journalists, they have
integrity.
Yeah, well, they get suckered on this story.
I actually spent some time reading through an understanding
this executive action by the President on immigration, and I
am in I am invested in this. Because you would think with
what I have been through with what Mickey has been through
with me that I would be one of those people saying, Hey, man,
you don't get to jumped in front of you and get to cut in line,
man, you got to throw crap, man. And we went through some crap,
including deportation. And 1000s of dollars. Most of it directed,
I think the lawyer fee really was. It was probably $2,000 and
lawyer fee. And that's just standard. I mean, you know,
they've said price is 500 for this part of the journey 500.
For that part, that's
like going into an auto mechanic. They look it up in the
book. And as Joe and
this is, this guy does everything for animal, and John
them all, personally, guy out in Santa Monica within one office.
And so that's how Mickey knows him. And he's always done her
Oh, one stuff. And I totally screwed up. I'm letting her
leave on the SD visa. And she'd overstayed by a couple days was
totally my fault, because I thought, you know, it's not
completely insane here. Because I've been through some
immigration stuff before. And so guy, you can figure it out,
you're gonna work it out. But no, this all changed when it
moved from the State Department, to this newfangled outfit called
Department of Homeland Security. And this is what I found
interesting that I've looked at, I looked at some coverage before
I left on Friday, I tried to read as much as I could just
wanted to see what the coverage was what people are saying. And
I'm hearing all these things of you know, it's anti
constitutional and and I'm hearing people mess it up by
saying Executive Order, where there's no such thing. There's
no executive order has been signed. A presidential
memorandum. Yes, it has very different weight in what it
does. But that's not even really where all of this is coming
from. And there's one term which I don't think I have not heard,
except Newt Gingrich, once with someone who sent me a clip I of
course, didn't see this live, had not used the term
prosecutorial discretion. Because all of this the
posturing by Republicans and whoever, whoever else is opposed
to it. If everyone doesn't, every everyone who's to
discussing this, that you see, and doesn't talk about
prosecutor prosecutorial discretion, is just there to be
on TV. And just to be on TV or whatever, though, it has nothing
to do with what has actually been done or what needs to be
done. Do you have an opinion on this John, one way or the other?
I feel the same way. The whole thing is vague. I watched the
whole speech and it was just horrible. And I don't know what
he did. I can't tell Okay, and everyone's saying, Oh, he's done
this. He's done that and and weren't shown. What's the
evidence of that? Right. Everybody on either side? He
goes, Oh, you didn't? Yes, he did. No, he didn't. Yes, he did.
This is like you know, the temperature is like the global
warming thing. The temperature is going down. It's going up.
It's going down. It's going up and staying the same. will give
me some definitive answer to this question. Is it going up?
Is it go Going down. Is it staying the same? I don't know.
I can't tell. I have a couple of clips I can play here that might
show you how confusing it is.
I think that was a good place to start. Yes.
I watched democracy now and Juan Gonzalez.
Wait a minute, you're telling me democracy now could not even
make it understandable?
No. In fact, Juan Gonzalez made it more confusing by bringing in
that idiot Gutierrez, that Shugden Chicago Congressman
who's just racist, and they tried to explain it. He says
that there's no it's just a he won't play it play this rule
Juan Gonzalez explained. And Gonzalez, by the way, he would
have a vested interest, he should recuse himself. But no.
And why is that? Why is that? Why? Why is that because he's
because he's, he's all he's always been. He's, he's, he's
Mexican is Latino. But let's play this. He calls it a
temporary resolution. It's not even the resolution,
this temporary resolution is just that a temporary
resolution. In fact, it will be six months before any of the
parents of undocumented immigrants can actually apply
for for legal status, and so that the Republicans in Congress
and the Republican majority has basically a six month window, as
Congressman Luis Gutierrez said to finally do something rather
than just complain and whine about what the President has
done now.
And you know, and this, oh, no, wait, let me interject one
thing, this whole, our immigration system is broken. No
one ever says what exactly is broken? No, no, this no one has
ever seen. Please explain what is the broken part of it, which
I, by the way, can tell you what the broken part of it is. But
I'm leaving that until the end. And when we conclude this,
okay, so well, they just use this as a methodology to
Democracy Now show especially Gonzalez to bash the
Republicans. And a classic example is this next clip. This
is Ron Gonzalez in the litany of hate, they bring out an illegal
alien, who is apparently a political expert. And she goes
on and on and on with a whole bunch of talking points. And
it's just like, Oh, why don't we just bring the democratic
nationalists bring out what's the name should
Schultz, Wasserman Wasserman Schultz?
Let's bring her out and then have her say this, and this, to
me was just an eye roller.
And when you hear that already, some of the Republicans in
Congress are threatening to go to court and some Republican
governors are saying they will fight in their local states
against providing work permits or providing driver's licenses
under the President's executive order. What's your response?
Well, it's not surprising. I think the Republicans have been
really good at showing that their anti immigrant anti women,
anti poor, children.
Hey, we're gonna shoot your children. You stupid Latina
women read Rich, religious. No, no.
The Republicans are proven to be anti gun, anti woman, anti
children, and anti
gay, she forgot to anti gay, anti gay.
Well, she probably dropped out when she couldn't remember that
many things. Okay.
And he says in here he is talking about executive orders.
Okay. I'm sorry. I'm saying okay. I shouldn't be saying, Oh,
I'm sorry. I didn't catch it. Yes. Okay. But okay, I really
have to stop. Alright, here we go. This was these were
executive actions. And that's not where the meat and potatoes
is. He creates these presidential memoranda. Remember
ran da memoranda die, each memorandum. Here's one. There's
only two. This is what he actually signed its memorandum.
It's not law. It's an executive order the memorandum. You get a
memorandum here, it's like I need those TPS reports. That's
exactly right. That is a very good analogy. Yeah, I really
like the TPS reports. And what these do is they form
committees. That one is here's immigration lawyers clarify what
I'm sorry, that's not the one creating welcoming communities
and fully integrating immigrants and refugees. And we're gonna
put together a focus group, a steering wheel, a steering
group, and everyone's and everybody's it's like Secretary
of State Attorney General Secretary of Agriculture, of
commerce of Labor, Health and Human Services, Housing and
Urban Development, transportation sector education,
Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation for National
Community Service, and everyone's going five more
meetings on FOC hate meetings, ending the White House Task
Force, the new Americans task force. So that's the first
presidential memorandum doesn't say anything about amnesty does
anything it has no operational law wording at all, or the
sending of a task force, second presidential memorandum
modernizing and streamlining the US immigrant Reese visa system
for the 21st century. This isn't has nothing to do with what is
being discussed as prosecutorial discretion. This is about let's
put together a task force a driving steering wheel committee
where we've come up with a new way of doing things. Man, okay,
this could be kind of a fun meeting because this taskforce
has to do important things like work in consultation with
private and non federal public actors, including business
people, labor leaders, universities and other
stakeholders, people and yeah, money is a call was a call for
money, recommendations from these people to streamline and
improve the legal immigration system, including immigrant and
non immigrant visa processing with a focus on ching ching IT
project with a focus on reforms of reduced government costs,
improve services for applicants, services for applicants. Are you
with me? Yeah. Reduce burdens on employers combat waste, fraud
and abuse in the system. But we're here from the government,
we're here to help developing recommendations as set forth.
Establish metrics, right here where we have I love this all
this private second consultation with private owner, we want to
have that one in consultation with technology experts inside
and outside the government. Oh, God, Oracle's going everyone,
Microsoft, send the sales guys out. So that has nothing to do
with this. Where it does come down to is Department of
Homeland Security. And this is the immigration action if you
can actually get to by dhs.gov/immigration-action. And
here are the true executive actions that are going to take
place and it is called prosecutorial discretion, which
gives the agents of agencies complete liaise license to say,
Okay, there's two guys doing something wrong it's against the
rules. Don't let that guy go. This is the whole folk deport
criminals, not families or whatever, not children. What a
great slogan. How can I be against that? No, that's
the key. The Democrats How can I be against that love the dream
these little once you get the slogan and you can go for it?
You can go you Oh, we got the slogan. Let's do something.
Yeah,
but what is that it's deport. What is the word criminals not
family? No, no, no, it was something else. The ports give
me felons not families divorced Alan's not got ahead to think
about it shit. A, you fair? It's good. Well, they're not
promoting it enough not doing it right. So jingle
for felons, not families.
Something upbeat Yes. But not that one. Because that's, that's
our 60 Something, Say Something.
Yeah, that's failed. Yeah, well, yes. Okay.
So what is truly this means that you will go out and focus on
felons and ignore families. That's That's how simple it
really is. And this is completely at the discretion of
not just Department of Homeland Security, which includes all the
agents of the Union the United States immigration security
police i ice ins, sir. Border Border Patrol, CPB
I don't know, you don't need to name
all of this a lot. But this is all
not it's, it's a laundry list. And so this is also built by
their whatever they feel like anyway,
and this is all yes, it's exactly what it is. Yeah, I'll
let her go. Because she's gotten nice boobs. That's exactly what
that is.
There you go. You nailed it and nail it, but you nailed it. But
this is in place for lots of people, patients. People who
have been displaced from here from Haiti, they keep getting
extensions. I feel bad for this. Man. It's a how the Haitian to
Haiti, it's suck, you know, earthquake Clintons took over,
we got all that money, didn't get the money where the money
go, they got screwed out of the money, let him stay extra time.
This is this is very normal. This happens all the time. So I
don't know anyone who's not mentioning this is very normal
happens all the time under all the circumstances. And it is
indeed just like saying, Let the Let the woman with the big nice
boobs let her go or go first. That's all that it is. And no
one's talking about what really needs to be done, which is
remove the morally corrupt, unnecessary Secret Police of
America, which is the Department of Homeland Security. It needs
to go this is where the brown shirts will come from. This is
where these crazy people they're TSA today. They're going to be
knocking on your front door tomorrow and they insane not all
of them have drawers but they will all be insane. There's
zombies are crazy. It's crazy.
This is what happens in the couple of good books to read.
The two books to read which discusses exactly this potential
is one of them is a true book the other one is fiction. The
true book is life and death and Shanghai book that was banned by
the Chinese very good read it fantastic wrote this book. Do
you know a Chinese woman? I have to go look it up. Just it was a
Chinese movie Written by anybody and the Chinese woman laughed.
funny about that. What do you think that's funny? Let's see
Amazon. Life and death in Shanghai. You it's a quick read.
And it shows you what happens when these sorts of creeps that
you're describing get in power. And I'm gonna I'm gonna find it.
Okay. I don't think we are in. In Hong Kong. We talked about
this book before you spell Shanghai? SHANGH ai? I believe
it in the code. Life and death in Shanghai in books. Just the
right one? Yeah, this one here by Nan Chang. Chang Chang Yan.
Wei Chang or Ching. ch, en je er Chen i e, n C, H, E, N G is
available. Five or six bucks that Kindles eight bucks.
I'm not gonna I want the real book. I'm also done with Kindle
when my whole
babbit Okay, fine. Well then get a real book this paperback is I
don't even know if it ever came in hardcover. So 1220 Fantastic
book. Now the other one, of course is Sinclair Lewis is it
can happen out here we have discussed this many times. And
this book is the fictional version of this book Life and
Death in Shanghai. That's why they're connected. Okay? When
you read the two books, either one of them, either one or both,
I have a price. And it's exactly what you're talking about. This
is exactly what will happen is exactly what happened in Germany
with the brown shirts, shirts, and this will, you know, or, or
if you read the we've been reading those books about what
life was like during the Nazi era. And you know, if you
weren't going Heil Hitler constantly, you know, people
beat you up in the streets. And that's what we're running into.
And I think you're right about the DHS, it shouldn't be
disbanded. Before it.
It's then they're making decisions about your life, your
freedom to move your travel. And, you know, I told uncle Don
about the time that we actually make he told the story. When we
were driving, I think was from we were no we were driving from
California to Texas when we first moved here, and we ran
into that New Mexico, border control 100 miles from the
border. There, you cannot get around, you have to go through
it. And then the dog got all happy. And then they they
completely ripped everything apart. And they made Mickey pee
in a jail cell.
I don't know why I don't remember that.
You don't remember, this was fantastic. And I was still
smoking at the time. And I had we had and everything was
right, you probably stunk.
It was there was and these guys were seven feet tall. And Mickey
was telling a story about about these Nazis. I call them that.
It's not really what nationalistic people than that
the Nationalist Party are but you get the idea. brown shirt.
Yes. It's crazy. And whereas if I were alone, I would have said
am I detained? Am I free to go be you know, I had a, you know,
she's not a citizen. I don't think there's no need to get
deported. We may be very unhappy. Great, great material
for the show, actually. And Uncle Don is when it's this the
sound he made to this since 911. Like he he really he has no
clue. It's as intelligent and worldly as he is. He's just now
waking out. He's still at the 911 thing. Oh, this is what
happened after 911. Yeah, Don, this is what happened after 911
We became a militaristic crazy, a whole Nazi state. Yeah. And
this new division who took away that you used to be at State who
took this away from the State Department, we put all of this
stuff the only mission is to stop terrorists from coming in
or flying in or blowing us up. And we know that completely
incapable of any of that because it's just not happening. Yes, or
there's some stuff at all. There's always something but
it's to the detriment of the security over the freedom pie.
Okay, and then anywhere, and they take money and they steal
money from you to steal the $1,000
per submission is a bunch of guts a bunch of thugs asides.
Constantly apply for a visa $1,000 per application paper?
Stealing what should they do at the airports?
It's the same thing. What is that money for is stealing it
and you do remember because one of the forms it's $420 and I
said they made that up just to fuck with me.
He sent a check for 424 20 That is funny.
You don't remember I know I talked I don't remember
anything. This face I have a bit of the audio book from life and
death in Shanghai bone put up. Why are you laughing? That's
genius. All right now. So all of this is compete complete
posturing. Seriously, we can be one agency that does this is the
DHS has to go then was run by the crazy lesbians, the man
hating lesbians and men are really suppressed cases. Let me
tell you, I would rather be be hounded by a guy with a gun than
a lesbian with a gun. Angry. Look at Janet Napolitano. And
I'm making this up. There are lawsuits guys who are saying I
was completely harassed in this agency.
Yeah, this is true.
Yeah, horrible place.
Okay. Let me just see what else that I have.
New guys. Here. This guy. What is this guy
from Jay Johnson, J. J. J. E. H. J. Johnson
is Jay H. John Johnson
Johnson but this is also holder you know, the holder also has
this prosecutor prosecutorial discretion which the judges had
to take with the you know, the cocaine sentencing you know, or
crack and cocaine you get sentenced differently and this
is where they had to to harmonize it so it didn't look
like black people who can afford the goods that the good shit
Hey, man, you're black. You're literally smoking crack. That's
how racist the whole thing was. Whereas it's the white people
smoking the crack. You heard Whitney Houston crack is wack.
All right, onward. So
you have this kind of discretion. And that's all that
this is. And when they say you know Reagan did it Bush did
away. It's all just distraction from enough it's nothing. It's
completely unimportant. But they're really not doing
anything and we need to have this part fixed. This all has to
Department of Homeland Security. Okay, they can do TSA just do
TSA only get rid of everything else everything and get the
Border Patrol people nice and happy again. They used to say
welcome to America. Welcome home, Mr. Curry. Welcome. Your
wife doesn't use them. Your wife doesn't use the same last name
as you. That's what I get.
Yeah, well, I've gotten one time coming through Canada. I got
what were you doing in Canada? And what was your buddy said?
What was your answer?
I went this one I had to get it I actually this is where they
get to go see a doctor but I get a flu shot during some season.
This was years before the show. And but after 911 And so I
couldn't get a shot around here cuz there was there was the one
that you one year where they didn't make enough for
something. Everybody got one. So when I said I get a flu shot,
I'm gonna go to Canada to get one because I know I could get
one. I made a few phone calls. And there was a clinic up there.
Yeah, we got plenty of it. So I went up there, you know, Port
Angeles, drove across the border, drove up to the clinic
got my shotgun with came back. And the guy asked me What are
you doing in Canada? And I said, I want to get a flu shot. today.
We got flu shots in the United States.
Really like yeah, of course of course
that and then I said well totally you know, unavailable
that I know of has been sold out. You had to come to Canada.
So I came here. He says I ever heard this. And he's, you know,
kind of stamp my thing and let me go and continue the
conversation but it was like what kind of a greeting is that?
It's it's reverses and make what I went to Canada for.
It's sad and it's it's really maddening. You know, this is not
okay. All right. It's not. I want to move. Move on here. I
did want to read a quick little note. Do you recall, sir Quist
on of Lincolnshire, donating to make
live vaguely vaguely.
I'll read Lauren Smith's note. And then you will remember ITM
my dad Sir Chris Stein of Lincolnshire, donated in my name
on yesterday's show. All right. This was really emotional for me
and a massive thank you to him. He mentioned that I recently did
an essay on moral self licensing, which Adam said he
would like to read. I have attached a link to the email. It
was designed as an oral speech in which I got a one the highest
grade being a one plus
I told you to get a good grade. You said he'd get a lousy grade
she she was a she was sorry.
And my teacher said I didn't say that. I said it would be
horrible because he kind of left to he left in the open. No, dad.
Oh, yes, sir. Question. I said if she wants to tell you what
she got for it, then she should email you. And I said well, that
means it could have really stunk. I didn't know that
your supposition was that the concept which was inaccurate Oh
my No my sufficiently understood. You believe that it
would be rejected because it was no no too little money.
I read too much into the way sir Kristen of Lincolnshire wrote
than the memo because I would not I would have presumed that
he would say although he's actually a very proper guys, and
I'll, I'll leave that to my daughter for to tell you what
she got for it. But to me my conspiratorial thinking was must
be must be shit must be bad must be really bad
because he's not so like, that's a very negative attitude. Yes.
And
I'm sorry I apologize for it. It's one of his one of my
problems I'm working on. I'm in therapy. I'm working on it. My
teacher said it was an interesting topic, we handed the
type version attached in for a written assessment, which I have
not received back yet. Thanks for the great show it and Lauren
Smith and that beautiful. Yeah. And she sent a copy of it and
and was you read it?
Of course I did. Was a good, I would have given it a
one plus, I tell you, not just this simple one, I'm going
to show my son move by donate to no agenda. Imagine all the
people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
I want to preface this by mentioning that this is another
example of a very poor Sunday, which we've been having to very
consistently have the number of people that sent in $50 or more,
we'll send in 50 cent for a few at the top here. There's only a
total number of people have totaling 27 People now and
brown, generally speaking, we have Wow, it's always over that
already. 40, sometimes 50. But we have 27 people and someone
tweeted and said that, you know, we're just no good. We've
changed our attitudes are no good. No,
no, no, no, no, no, most people are like, like our Grand Duke.
He says, You know this stuff more recently, especially like
the last show, loaded with top notch deconstructions. And
that's what I would think too. So it's not that it's just
people
that it's I don't know what it is, it could be just, they need
to be reminded more often shout out what it is when anyway, less
hat thank the people that did come in at this amount. And we
do want to thank all the people that come in with lesser
amounts. And when I send these mailings out, I look at two
things. One, the total number of people that come in over 50, the
total number of people come in come in under 50. And it creates
a spreadsheet that's a certain size. This is a small
spreadsheet overall. So we didn't even have that many
people came in low. I mean, a lot of
it was only like 62k It was it was Hanban, you're like you're
only 62k That's how I when I see the email come in, but 62k the
size of the attachment of the spreadsheet or the size. Yeah,
and I'll see if it's like 62 I'd be disappointed if it should be
100 it has some 198k Wow, it's gonna be
awesome. Yeah, those are the good old days before I see it. I
know how it sucks. Sir Scott and Herndon, Russia, just pat it was
nose. Whoa, holy crap. Good. Really happy. Sir Scott in
Herndon, Virginia $133.33. And he's got his last name. He's
worried about outstanding newsletter regarding the the XL
Pipeline.
Oh, can I say something about the XL Pipeline quickly? Yeah,
one of our producers said, can I just tell you because we weren't
I guess we were saying what is what is the big deal with this
XL Pipeline? What is the deal? Who cares about it? Yeah. Our
producer said, Okay, it's very simple. This is all about the
trains. He said, we have our family's farm farmers up in
Canada, they can't get their goods on a train. They even have
to go and rent an entire car on a train to do either by
themselves with a couple of them to the note. So they're not just
buying through a middleman because all these trains are
being used for oil. The people who put President Obama in
office, the Berkshire Hathaway guy. But Warren Buffett, he's
laughing his ass off at how much money he's making transporting
oil on his train lines. That's why they kicked it'll never
happen. It's not gonna happen. And it's not about global
warming, any of that bullcrap. It's all about money for him.
That's,
I like it. And we used to think about trains more than we do
currently. Maybe that's what people need to be reminded of.
Isn't that interesting? Yeah, no, I like it. That's a very
good analysis. That's that makes doesn't make sense. Because it's
a very it's a bonanza for them. That's what they're talking
about. All the energy and all in fact, is anti global warming.
It's like it was producing more co2 By running these trains all
that way. He let me run they run strange. There's some there's
some of these trenches run down here.
Let me read them. I read the email, tweet real quick and move
on. In the morning, every time I hear you to bring up the
Keystone pipeline. I cringe. Canadian guy of course. Yeah.
And usually when people say that I get mad I'm like, really? You
cringe like physically like you want to puke? I cringe and
wonder why no Canadians have clued you into what they see as
the most obvious reason that there's strong resistance to
building it. It's all about railroads, railroads and
shipping oil on steel instead of in a tube. Warren Buffett
Berkshire Hathaway, Burlington Northern along with Bill Gates
Canadian National railroad. Oh hello. What is better? Is gates
an investor and Canadian National railroad? Check it out.
I don't know. Check it out our cleaning crews go to Washington
DC and go into the archives and find out what White House and
Barbara Boxer and some of their investments which are kept, you
know, in a closed room, you
cannot copy them. You can only go. I don't know, I don't know
what the price. Yes. Yeah, no, we do though. You have to get
the microfiche, and you can make a copy in the basement and to
pay 25 cents a copy.
That's fine. Something's wrong with any of that. But you still
have to go there physically, because they could put it online
but they refuse to because they know what's going to happen.
People are gonna look into this, but it was by
executive order, by the way. Yes. Okay, let me continue.
They're cleaning up using grain cars by the 1000s to ship sweet
and crude out of the Northern US states and Canadian locations to
be refined in Texas, leaving the farmers of these areas with no
cars to ship their grain to market. I have friends and
family farming in Saskatchewan. Is that where all the money is?
That's Alberta that afforded
producer cars rail cars that are ordered and delivered to a
specific siding that a farmer will fill the capacity on their
own rather than sell their grain to a middlemen over a year ago,
that as ordered over a year ago and they're still waiting. In
return they're sitting on hundreds of 1000s of bushels of
grain and they can't sell it seems like a no brainer the ones
that put the scum in office will be quite against a cheap
pipeline. There you go. Rick, I think you're right on I think
that's it.
Okay, well that's gonna be our new that's our XL
pipeline and let's see what agriculture people in in
Congress in the in the government's are getting
involved. We'll see. We'll see.
Yeah, buffet.
Oh, that we needed. We needed a buffet to yell but that I don't
think we have one day.
guys gonna blot his throat.
There's people who want to pay him good money now for making.
We're Star Makers.

Thank you. Thank you. For those of you who are supporting us we

Yeah, nobody else even comes close.
I think we just nailed Uber. I mean, come on. This is so
obvious. And this is how sick society is celebrating the
downgrade of the middle class with their hard earned vehicles.
Puke mobiles for the drunken drunken elite a gag
bill the middle class as like a loan out their cars and then be
will be a
great idea. I love it.org/and A

Railroads nor anything? Yeah, you're right.
We congratulate sir Borislav Marin off on his barony. He now

there.
Yeah, right to top. Good, huh?
Yeah, you're a pro. You're a pro man. Pro. Thank
you, man. Hey, man. Thank you. Amen. There wasn't another there
was another analysis actually, by the word girl. Okay, about
our show, and she'd done something for her professor and
I guess I guess she's in college. I don't know if I
should. I thought she was the professor. Anyway. She sent it
to me. It's called Gender interaction. Analysis male slash
male, the University of Massachusetts. At gender
interactive you want to hear this for a second because I'm
not Yeah, I'm all game for this gender interaction analysis male
male for this paper on gender interaction analysis, I've
chosen a 15 minute exchange between two male participants
slash co hosts of an audio podcast called no agenda. The
purpose of this paper is to explore the different gender
roles each speaker assumes, as they individually and
collectively navigate a conversation Although the
speakers are both male, the roles that he assumes is
compelling to witness one placates while the other pouts,
I guess he was the pouting bitch in this MBU. Yeah, this analysis
begins with when one speaker fails to pick up on the subtle
cues put forth by his conversation partner
with performance our fails. Yeah, happened? Well,
actually, well, let me let me finish the intro. And then I
want to say something about that, okay. I failed to pick up
on the subtle clues put forth by his conversation partner yet
takes offense on the conversation partner must assert
himself more forcefully, in order to convey his point in a
manner where the first speaker will take notice. What follows
is an exploration of the male propensity to lecture rather
than converse, and how it is perceived by another male issues
of politeness both negative and positive, as well as a glimpse
into the gendered nation nature of gossip. And this is where it
says, well, just a conversation between two people, yes, because
she has all kinds of other surveys to the she refers to and
this is the time when when I played the John Kerry clip
recently, and and you said it was boring, we got into a little
conversation. Yeah. And when I also said it on the next show,
or the end of that show said you were right. But what she
overlooks in and this is very typical, I think, although it's
very it's actually quite flattering deacons. She talks
about our relationship, which is it's kind of disturbing.
I think women always say, Well, I'm you know,
when she she said, Edwards, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I
know I think I bitch I can deconstruct her deconstruction
in such a way that it would explain whatever it is, she
said.
So Well, I'm just gonna give you one little example. And then I
just want to say why this is worthless as analysis. I hate to
say it is at this point where we witness Adam being overly
polite, albeit negatively polite, and then in parentheses,
word 2010. PAGE 277. Apparently, I'm not like I'm some. This is a
male thing we do with this. With this seemingly insincere
repetition of it's fine, it's fine. And with an emphasis mine,
and with it, we begin to detect a slight shift in gender role as
a result, where I become a bitch. Excessive politeness,
such as this, Edwards informs us is quota often associated is
often is often associated with subordination and deference,
which can in turn, reinforce its feminine connotations. Edwards
2000, page 146. Edwards adds the speech characteristics
traditionally associated with women are not after all,
exclusively, there's that's on page 136. As evidence of this,
we see Adam continue in this vein as John deploys positive
politeness, in an attempt to defray Adams increasingly heated
exchanges, right. So here oh, here, perhaps John instinctively
recognizes this as a traditional male female disagreement, and
intuitively assumed the role of the placating husband.
Oh, Daddy, don't be mad at me. Wow. How sick is that? I get the
heebie jeebies. But what she's overlooking is that we this is a
performance and we actually when we argue we're, we're more
arguing about the pleasure of the people, the producers who
are making the show with us and listening in things we don't
like Jon Stewart, he's got 60 writers, you become a lot of
work for a lot of people working on the show. Granted, you know,
there's a whole bunch of restrictions that come along
with television or video in general, which is why we don't
do it because we are theater of the mind and not as this paper
start asserts at the beginning of it here. It's audio only hear
it it's audio only because they don't use video because that
would degrade the quality of the sound. No, it's audio only
because we shall show something we can do. We wouldn't have
audio like visual cues to play off of each other. Which I
realize this is part of the I have to say the greatness of the
show. I am controlling all of the clips and everything and
starting them and I'm always trying to have the right clip
ready at the right moment. So John doesn't have to he usually
not the ones it depends on like when I'm gonna remote sometimes
we have better days when you say something. I know which clip
bang it's in there.
Sometimes, right depends on the performance. This is a yes that
script this show and we can't possibly it's like it's
like the world's longest improv session between two guys who
have absolutely no comedic equality.
Just set up for yourself when it
comes out. comes out when when we're in our husband wife role
then all of a sudden, it's true people. Mommy and Daddy are
fighting. I'm always mommy. Hey, there's
that you're always um, I know this won't I would don't want to
demean her because she's obviously thinks we love
her. No, she would know. And it's a great papers. It's one
of our favorites. Yeah. But like a lot of women. I believe
there's a very strong subtext amongst women analyzing guys.
They always want to watch two guys making out. I don't know
why I'm just telling you. There's a lot of women out there
if
I had this were a clip. I'll give you a clip of the day. The
absolutely right, you're right. Yeah, it turns them on like
nobody else's business.
If any take take it further. They want to see two guys
getting it on. There's something that's a thrill about and
there's rumors about various Hollywood starlets married to
various kinds of gay guys, I suppose. You know, they're
actually gay. And we all know they are but they're married to
some beauty a lot of people the rumors always that that woman
likes to watch two guys make an out and doing it. And you know,
I can name it. I just won't. I'm with this some of the best
analysis I've ever done. It's always built into a lot of this
analysis. So beware.
I also happen to agree I do take on the female role sometimes,
and it's annoying to me. Sometimes.
You take more of this son, Dad son thing or than the female. I
mean, maybe you do not. I got over that. I got over that. No,
no, the thing is, you can I can feel it. You go.
I got over the son dad thing because as a dad, you're an
asshole. So I'm like, No, I just don't want you. I already got
one of those. I don't need another one. I'm fine. I like
anything like your dad. Anyway, so the point is, is that there's
an you can always now analyze that. But what we're doing is
live performance. Sometimes it works. I think most of the time,
it's outstanding. And at least within the show, there's at
least two or three items that are just like you will never
hear this ever. And
also it would not come from one person like we figure these
things out on the fly. No, you can't do it. We had it was the
the analogy for Uber the analogy for for hitchhiking. That stuff
only happens in in this magic?
It's No, it's because we're both experienced and bent around the
world. We've seen a lot of places, we've done a lot of
things. And we and we have a lot of personal experiences that get
triggered by by the conversation. And they're in the
some of them are interesting, and some of them aren't
generally speaking there. I think most of them are
interesting. But anyway, there's just a way I would talk about
this stuff on the on the Christmas show.
Yes, I was I was I was drinking. I was thinking about this. I was
thinking about saving this for the Christmas show. But I
really, I think actually wanted to promote the Christmas show by
bringing this out. This is what the Christmas show will be
about.
Yeah, it's gonna be about the show. Yeah. And it was kind of
self what do you call it just snaps made that lip sound?
Yeah. Well, we'll talk about you know, this is also a very OCD
Tourette's thing we're doing about what words we use, and
it's kind of
we'll talk about that on the show, too. And we get a lot of
comments from people. There are some things that really annoy
listeners, and I'm stammering probably some of it
but no one again, let me just say something. You have a huge
Hangout, and I know I know. You're long enough. You got a
huge hang up about your stammering which I never really
notice. It's like yeah, no I Tourette's you don't notice my
Tourette's? You know? Because I tell you about No, but no one
ever, ever complained about you stammering about and
which now I hear all the time I hear pros. Not all of them. I
mean, Brian Williams never does it. But you see it on the bar TV
show. I'm
just thirsty. That's a lot. I drank like two cans of Red Bull
before the show. What? Yeah, I was tired. I have had jetlag and
that's why you thought I was drunk. I was high on Red Bull.
Oh, that makes sense. But it's not where you did sound tired.
You sound fine now
because I'm gonna live I'm leveled off a bit. I never drink
so and I'm sorry. I had one of those monster things and Red
Bull. The Monster energy drink I
can't drink those together.
See legal in some states.
So let's get back to some clips and do some ketchup. I do a clip
Blitz.
How are we? We had a cut out. So where are we on time? Are we
almost done? Yeah, we
got about 10 minutes left. Because I
wanted to do one more little thing but and then you could do
your clip Blitz. Can we do that one like this? I pick on
somebody?
Yeah, go pick on him. It's fine with me. Maybe we can segue.
A lot of people are always talking about how great vice is
vice. And and I don't trust these guys. They get i We both
talked about this. I've been on board with you. And the other
day there was a dinner conversation where vice came up
and I said I think half of their videos are rigged. They're
scripted. Yeah, definitely look that up. Reading and only thing
that makes sense like the ISIS video that got these
documentaries all these places, they're always in the right
place the right time with some data and they have credibility.
And I know that a lot of people that I've spoken to say we love
vice, because they they pay a lot of money and they have nice
budgets. And I think I had Rogan may be talking about this with
someone on Rogan. And I know people who was like, Can we do
the special for vice? And they're great. No, they're
really professional, which means they got fucking paid advice. So
if I start off as a magazine, and then it got it really
exploded got exploded by a guy I know very well, Tom Freston. And
this is his comeback for getting fired over not buying my space.
Can you imagine he got kicked out of Viacom because he liked
Murdoch by MySpace. And of course, that turned out to be a
great decision. And Tom before he ran MTV, this is why I know
him so well. He would have an import export business in
Afghanistan. Hello, so you get what kind of guy this is. Yeah,
I'm getting the picture. Great guy. Everyone loves him because
he's, he's kind of Indiana Jones in a suit, and a little dorky
looking. If you Google the picture of Adam curry, Michael
Jackson. He's the one on the other side of Michael Jackson.
That's Tom Freston just stands that. Hey, I'm Tom. I'm Tom
effing Freston. I'm gonna stand next to Michael Jackson. So he
and he finance it and the talking that it may be worth 8
billion now. And that is going to tell you, there's they're
looking for buyers. So this thing is really they've ramped
it up. And the founder is a guy named Shane Smith. And this guy
just has douchebag written all over him he's the guy who did
the interview was snowed and that was all strange. And then
the the always the other one we he talked to some the guys who
are tearing up their passport you remember he was talking to
some terrorists. They're in. Crap. Where was it? Remember,
you had a big deal about this? This can't be a British guy was
a British?
No, I my deal was that people were with a passport. So work
too much money, right?
So now this guy has a piece and it's a long piece. But as a
typical, you know, vise 17 minutes, like cut down just a
little bit just like a minute and a half. So you just get the
idea which I submitted this mid the main premise of this
documentary to atomic rod Adams, a guy who I know actually knows
about radiation and nuclear energy and, and something that
is the new meme is cesium. Cesium is the cesium that's
gonna kill us. How are you doing? Are you dead yet from the
cesium there in the Pacific?
I'm still kicking to astonishing but true. How are
you? Your fish all irradiated and you're dying from from
poison seem
to be the case? People have a Geiger counter. I've
channeled dying on the street of radiation now. No, no, no.
In 2011 Tohoku earthquake created a tsunami so large, that
when it struck Japan, it killed approximately 16,000 people.
This is very good, what he's doing here. He's putting you
into the disaster mode of things that have nothing to do with the
actual Well, of course, it was the cause of the Fukushima
reactor issue. But the dead people and all this this is just
oh yes or no dead people floating bodies. Oh, horrible.
And he accentuates these things really smart
destroyed 130,000 buildings and cause an estimated $210 billion
Daniels making it one of the costliest natural disasters in
world history. On top of that, when the Fukushima Daiichi
nuclear power plant was hit by the tsunami, it began releasing
the largest amount of radioactive materials into the
environment since the Chernobyl disaster of 1986.
Now, there's other examples of radiation that isn't on just
nuclear power plant related, but okay, we'll use that one, just
more imagery very good. And of course, we see the images at the
same time. Obviously, the assertion is coming up pretty
soon.
Now, almost three years later, there are continuing and serious
concerns over the levels of both the initial and ongoing
radiation contamination, not only in Japan proper, but also
what's leaking into the Pacific Ocean,
the Pacific Ocean again.
Now, information regarding this nuclear accident has been very
tightly controlled by the Japanese government. So we sent
Vikram Ghandi to ground zero of this environmental disaster to
see disaster firsthand what's really happening in Fukushima,
okay. Now, there's
a whole bunch of stuff where they go back with people to
their homes and they take a look at, they're all there and they
have like surgical masks aren't like that's going to stop
radiation or something. They're walking around the normal
clothes with Geiger counters, a surgical mask, and I'm wondering
so they send the Indian guy to ask them questions.
The Japanese government has declared most of these ghost
towns unlivable.
What you hear in the background is a Geiger counter sound And
Geiger counters everywhere oh it's not showing the real
reading oh this is government issued Geiger counter it's
showing a no aerated any other reading is nothing isn't nothing
okay but what is more disturbing is what they are not telling him
this
is the meme that is continuously used government cover up because
that makes our conspiracy theorists also nutty government
cover up. You got it's real you got an iodine
in the days following the tsunami a series of explosions
rip through three of the Fukushima reactor
and do you hear the sweetened audio? There is no audio like
that of the of the showing the explosions.
And there's no there's no audio there's echo on
through three of the Fukushima reactors. Despite global concern
of a potential nuclear catastrophe. The Japanese
government downplay the severity of the situation. As a member of
the Japanese house of representatives at the time of
the disaster, Hiroshi Kawachi, witnessed firsthand the
inadequacy of the government response
now you're gonna hear you're gonna hear I cut all this out
just a little bit of Japanese and then translation.
Do you think the government is lying about the extent to which
the damage has been created by this accident?
Christian mazzucco got killed goes to Kenya to it, you know,
wondering how radiation levels 168 times worse than Hiroshima
could ever be perceived as okay, we decided to investigate
further.
So here and of course, you know, you know what the visuals are,
because the guy says, and they have that subtitle, he repeats
it. The radiation released by Fukushima was 168 times the a
bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Hiroshima. And then, of course,
the big you know, the, the typical mushroom clouds. And
I've been this all year, actually, there's a little more
little piece here.
In this school, there's an NGO that's going around testing
people for thyroid cancer. Thyroid cancer is one of those
diseases that's caused by radiation and it's
caused by a lot of thyroid issues. Not just thyroid cancer
but thyroids that become hyperactive or hypoactive. It's
not all just caused by radiation. That's just one of
those diseases that are caused by radiation. It
move ahead faster. I'm getting this old stuff that I've seen
already. And it's I'm just saying it's a meme and it's new
video. They
brand new This is brand brand new. Yeah, it's just old crap
yet, but it's all about energy. You know, it's all about
downplaying the, the nuclear angle. So all I did is I asked
rod, I said, you know, what is his 168 times the, the
radiation, and I just want to give his answer the atomic bombs
dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki didn't release much
cesium. And it was not the cause of the exposures received then.
What sounds like a scary number doesn't mean much is like saying
a pickup has 168 times as much cargo capacity as a Harley. I
calculated the cesium and iodine iodine release. And he has a URL
there which is in the show notes. And it says that the
Fukushima the Hiroshima syndrome website has a good status was
crap minutes email is shit a steadily with nothing to worry
about from a public health perspective. Cesium does not
accumulate. It has a biological half life of just 40 days
compared to his radioactive half life of 30 years. It passes
through as very high doses it's deadly at Fukushima
concentrations after treatment. The water was drinkable, except
for the salt and other minerals in it. That's a scientist
talking. Not the guy from Vice. Liar. Yeah.
Ah, yeah, no, this thing Well, what do you think the point of
it is? No, I think device guys are I think they're all
I know. Why are they worth $8 billion? What because they must
be making big money. Where's the money coming from? Well, whoever
is interested is to make this kind of stuff and they're making
political stuff John. Then I'm making you know, doing reports
about Middle East about ISIS.
And these guys, we've ignored them.
Yeah, well, we haven't just spoken out properly about them.
I think it's very I think they are Yeah, they have to be
watched. Yeah, no,
I think so too. I think I've taught this before but for some
reason I'm not even interested. People are
all in a lot of our producers are Hey, man, it's great
documentary advice, and I just want to hear everything in my
body goes. This is wrong. This is wrong and just like nuber now
now I know why I was like this is wrong. Now I understand why
just takes a little while to get into it.
Well, we have to get to the bottom of it. Because I have the
same thing. People are all the advice. I think it's fantastic.
And then you know, they found some like that naked African
boar Lord, I think was one of the early productions that got
all kinds of attention. And then they've done an end of the
Korean thing, which I now think is pretty sketchy. Yeah, well,
we know. Yeah. And of course this that was Shane Smith. And I
think they banned him from the country because he made everyone
look like clowns
was better than getting killed over the cement truck.
Yeah, the real people actually do work. Yeah. Yeah, it's
interesting. Well, we'll get into how do we even just keep
trying? It's so tedious to watch the documentaries because
they're always there. I think they're fake. I just think a lot
of them are fake. I think they use actors. Because they go to
Yes. And nobody can go watch faces. No one can go without
getting killed. Yes. Real journalists. Don't go John
place.
Don't even do that. $8 billion valuation from what? advertising
revenue and forecast?
Likely, please know, this.
We know because we know who's going to be financing this. It's
all legal.
And that's the fifth month,
Smith month. And this is this is Goldman. Everyone's going to be
in on it all over again. And they've done a very good job.
Tom Freston knows how to sell something to young people. He
did it with MTV. And now Now he's just he's hit the jackpot.
And he's selling it. You watch you watch who buys it, and you
watch how that runs, and they will be the propaganda arm that
you might want just one or they just have Department of Homeland
Security by him. That's all they're missing. They probably
should
get a couple of things out of the way so we can get out of
here. Yep, please. Did I bummed I got I got a disgusting clip.
You didn't have to go that deep into it. And we know it's bull
crap.
I just want to point out when the big sale comes, you know,
I have Okay, I have a disgusting clip. That will you have to I
this is a video obviously, so you can't see what's going on.
And you will guess what's going on? By the end of the clip, but
I think this is especially important clip for you. And this
is Tony Bourdain. He's in Paris at a restaurant with Tony
Bourdain,
the CNN report and don't miss the video.
The guy he's a
CNN food guy.
And it's not in CNN at all. He has a CNN show. All right. Is
this the one where he is called stopover or something?
Right? It's called Tony Bourdain Food Show.
Okay, well, anyway, he's got three shows that he's got no
reservation stop over where it goes to someplace for a short
time as though you're on a plane, right? And this is this
show and this one is in Paris at some fancy restaurant. And if
you overhear the conversation without seeing the visuals, if
you saw the visuals, you know what I'm talking about, you
should be able to figure out what they're up to. And you
should be a you knee should be appalled, racing some of the
newer ideas working their way through French modern cookery.
But tonight, it's the Paul bear.
Gotta love it. That's how great we are. We're such a nerds. And
thank you tweet them that the people do this in Paris. Is this
acceptable behavior now? Yeah. It's in New York up in New York.
You're not allowed to eat until you take a picture of it. I'm
trying not to do it. It's kind of ridiculous. But it's it's
fun. I haven't tweeted about it. It didn't happen. This was a
good sauces, physical.
Sickness, isn't it? It's a sickness.
So they're so Tony Bourdain is some French chef. He's a French
restaurant in Paris. You have to stop shooting pictures, shooting
pictures of their food,
and we have to help him. He's a nice, he seems like a nice guy.
You could do this is we're the ones that are out of touch. You
and me. We're the ones on the wrong side of history. We're on
the wrong side of history.
I give up since
Wow. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. You should give up. Well, I hadn't expected
it. But I think you deserve it.
It's summed it all up for me when you have when you have Tony
Bourdain, Tony bottini. And he's like, encouraging. He's making
selfies in the restaurant in Paris Elon Food Show. And
encouraging that it didn't happen if there's no picture of
it. Very, very sad. Sad day. Sad. The day that sad,
very sad, or depressing and you're sad live for the day. I
have one I got a couple more I can carry over the next show or
I can run them quickly. Well
It's kind of the we have the longer break. Are you in a tweet
today? No. Oh, too bad.
How can I be on twit today? I'm taking off on an airline oh I'm
sorry I just smacked my lips again i you want to do it right
when you technically try this? Well, we got I get these are all
good shorts but let's at least get this one out of the way this
is the Assange update so we know where he stands in the scheme of
things because yeah, I was like a report and that I'm done. I'm
done. I'll use these others. I was
reading about him. I think I had some chicks over something and
then they like better Pussy Riot came to visit him. Oh, isn't
that sweet?
That Swedish court has rejected an appeal of the arrest warrant
that's kept WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange confined in
Ecuador's London embassy for over two years. Assange just
wanted in Sweden for questioning on allegations of sexual
misconduct. Though no charges have been filed. He's voiced
fears he would ultimately be sent for prosecution in the
United States if he were returned to Sweden over his
involvement with WikiLeaks. Assange, his attorneys have
petitioned for the warrant to be withdrawn, arguing it cannot be
enforced while Assange is in the embassy and Swedish prosecutors
refuse to question him in London. But on Thursday, the
Swedish appeals court rejected Assange his challenge to a
ruling against him earlier this year. In a statement, the court
said it factored in that Assange is a flight risk and that he's
quote suspected of crimes of a relatively serious nature. But
it also suggested prosecutors should consider questioning him
in London saying the refusal to do so quote, is not in line with
their obligation in the interests of everyone concerned
to move the preliminary investigation forward. They said
was
Did you understand any of that argument?
The good argument was, and I think it's a good argument. They
said, his lawyer said, Look, bring in these guys and question
him here. And then either indict him or don't indict him, but do
it here that will move things along. Otherwise, it'll drag on
forever, and there'll be witnesses that are forgetting
and there's all the evidence is going away. You want to do it
sooner, not later. And the fact that they're not doing it sooner
is a proof that all this is about as a scam to get him out
of English so they could the United States can grab it. Grab
him. Yeah. Yeah, so I agree. It's anyway, that's my little
update for Assange. Poor bastard.
I think that he had Pussy Riot visited, which is it's those two
hot girls. Yeah, they're good looking ladies. Yeah, well, and
they got to watch a coach. Oh, and by the way, ladies, in case
you didn't get enough of John's hate on war on women's speech.
There's nothing dudes like more than two women getting it on. So
it's fair square. It's just we got all the porn of it. And you
don't I don't know anyone. Maybe you do. I don't know. Maybe
there is probably is. Yeah, look around how many dudes who like I
don't know.
Is enough? It isn't good enough hate mail.
Okay, no, no, people love you for this stuff. Just real quick,
if you don't mind.
The only good phones a landline. And the phone should be made out
of Bakelite. All right,
quick little tech news, John tech, tech, tech, tech news,
tech news. Tech News. All right. I just want to let everyone know
who is sending me information about the SPD y protocol. Did
you say anything to an engineering audience and they
lose their shit? It's really what I get. It's like HTTP 2.0.
Man. Okay. It's about the implementation by the Open Web
Alliance. They want to use your spy connection to the big Google
proxy. That's what it's about. Steve Gibson did a whole thing
on security now about a man like speedy Yeah, about that, but not
about the open web Alliance implementing it. Okay, that's
one OpenBSD project is now continues to survive thanks to a
20,000 donation from a Romanian Bitcoin billionaire.
Bitcoin billionaire. Yeah.
This is great news. Yeah, the guy owns it. Of course, he owns
one of the exchanges. That's why
well, okay. He
owns the what is it? It's exchanges. I didn't know that.
OpenBSD was on the ropes. I guess. Yeah, we didn't need like
$100,000 to keep it running. I don't understand.
Doesn't I never knew this either. It doesn't make sense to
me. Actually.
We've talked about this before, but lifeis seems to be going
mainstream. This is instead of using Wi Fi, you use existing
LED lighting. Oh, it can transfer up to 160 megabits per
second and use it be Because Wi Fi just instead of Wi Fi just a
different you can have the electricity grid with lights
attached to it is much more vast than Wi Fi can be. Okay. And
then the only last thing I have is I picked this up from my
daughter What's App Facebook bought that was it who bought
that Facebook? Yeah Facebook bought WhatsApp didn't they?
Like a huge amount of money did yeah, so she says it's now
ruined because they've added something I don't have it cuz I
don't have a phone. They've added they ruined it. They added
something called the Blue Dot was the blue dot Blue Dot tells
you if the other person the recipient has read the message
which which is a Facebook thing I hate it. I never looked at
Facebook private messages because the person is like
getting an automatic email receipt. Yeah. Oh, you read this
message at so and so time and the the person who sent them to
you sees that and I go well if I don't reply, he's gonna think
I'm a dick because he knows I saw it and I don't want to reply
to him at all because it's annoying. So they've done that
to to WhatsApp. Now. Apparently, people are going to start
defecting and this is why we see these be a torn live chats
popping up. And I told you DHT DHT distributed hash table I
told you that was going to be the future here it comes. So of
course the Bitcoin guys have released bleep. But they do it
in a closed source way. And I got turned on this thing called
talks to x. Which is it's it's like Bitcoin for chat. And filed
and talking.
It's time to close the tech section.
That's all I had. So don't worry about I
found my phone
All right. All right, then. Are you annoyed? All you have to
leave? I forgot. That's right.
Like to catch.
Okay, let's hold hands.
Let's do the going away for a secret.
Let's do the going away prayer. Okay, hit it. The oldest
grandchild has to do it, John.
I don't have I don't remember it. I have to go look it up.
Or lift on my eyes and to the hills from whence cometh my
help? My help cometh from the Lord. Oh, there was one one part
in it. Where it's the word is yay. Why EA? And invariably, the
new kid on the block where the when he when a grandchild became
old enough would say yeah. And we got snickered. Idiot is yay.
Did you know that you tripped on it? It's like initiation coming
to you from that's the heart of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in
the pipe. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain until
later. I'm John C. Dvorak and we
will return on Thursday with one more show from Gitmo lowlands
right here I know agenda in the morning
that's how we That's how we roll. It wasn't worth it. It was
worth it and her head is gone.org/n
