Absolutely. Let's get some dirt on this and show that it's
bogus. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, November 13 2014. Time for your Gitmo nation media
assassination episode 674.
This is no agenda.
Digesting my Sunday pancakes baked from the ISIS recipe book
and back in FEMA Region six Austin, Texas capital the drone
Star State in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from rain drenched northern Silicon Valley on the lookout
for online scams. I'm John C. Dvorak.
So I left all of that in all good. All of our web IQ,
stupid quiz.
There's another doing more things like this. If you want to
read an article
odic does quiz. It was idiotically simple. Anyone that
listens to our show could have gotten 100% on this except for
the Moore's Law thing if they parsed it correctly.
Yeah, well, I know you're angry. But it's okay. I
find it annoying that they call this crap and then they tell us
we got one wrong.
Have you noticed this new gateway feature? If you want to
read the article answer a survey question. That's not that new.
Oh, I'm just maybe I'm just seeing it now. Yeah, I've seen
it a couple times. Or it's always other other ways. For me,
it is give them bad answers. Hey, you told me to do some
after the show. The last one we had an Amsterdam Yes. And I did
it this legislation
is important. The substance is right. The time is right. And
the way in which it has been developed is right. It is a
properly considered thought through set of proposals that
will help to keep us safe at a time of very significant danger.
It has been drawn up in close consultation with the police and
security services in an open and free society like ours we can
never entirely eliminate the threat from terrorism but we
must do everything possible consistent with our values as a
country to reduce the risk presented by our enemies. It is
a struggle that will go on for many years and the threat we
face right now is perhaps greater than it ever has been.
And we must have the powers means powers means powers means
to defend ourselves and that's the story
I should have stuck that at the end as Theresa May yes that
was good home and you like the I like the way slowed her down
more and steps Yeah, I
thought you'd like good I'm glad you like that.
Yeah that's very good. I just like that again need that
background? I think we can use that more Oh
no, that's from the background music I think it's from Rubicon.
Oh really?
Let me see Yeah, I have it here. Let me see. I think so.
Rubicon which has been taken off the used to be a free people
could watch it for free on Amazon or it's gone. Oh baby
disappeared and you can't get Rubicon anyway. Anyhow, anymore.
No. Let me see. I think I think I have it.
And that's probably what I like to buy when it was on Amazon.
They had an HD because they never played it in HD. No,
it's not Rubicon. Something else? I don't know. I'll find it
for you. I'll let you know. Anyway, I'm back back from the
low lands.
And I'm back. You're back from the highlands Highlands
the wetlands we are back at home base. Funny how when we're back
at home base. It's taken us you know seven years but boy does it
sound good when we're home.
That sound pretty good last time. Oh,
yeah. What we did is right we didn't have any any real
technical issues. True.
Oh, man, all that start with your experience coming back into
the homeland
was perfect. I was perfect. I had my Global Entry zipped right
through perfect
there was really no problems either I had the pre I had pre
check.
Even though you're not actually a an interviewed Trusted
Traveler. Yeah. You had your pre check
that pre check waltz right through. Trying to think there's
something funny that happened at the airport. It wasn't to me No,
you know, I
had an interesting Uber driver at Austin Bergstrom airport
going home. And again it was a Dodge Caravan that didn't you
know, I ordered the Uber X because I got the you know the
suitcase. Man I just I figured that Uber X or XL or whatever
it's called I figured that would be a little nicer but other
Dodge Caravan is just stinky and nasty and
not always that way as we have a we have them I think they come
that way. No, they come. They actually it's been it's a
feature you add it's an extra exhaust stinky Do you want your
care Exactly. Would you like for smell barnyard
so talking to the talking to the driver? Because I'm interested.
I was wondering because there's so many reports now about about
Uber and of course ever since we recognize that this actually
does This signal, the beginning of Armageddon, because now we
have the middle class taking their car and driving puking
people around. This guy was young though. And he's, he was
originally from Ethiopia. And he been in. He's a citizen and
naturalized citizen, and he had just graduated UT. And he wants
to do his master's at Texas University in business. And he
was driving Uber, because he wanted to pay off his student
loan. And he said that, you know, 13 months, and he had,
like, nine more months to go. And it's about whatever it was,
he said, he could just about make it and kind of survive by
driving Uber, but it's really it's really a $10 an hour job
when it boils down to it. But it's really nice because here
was a guy who he said, I believe in the American dream. And I do
you know, me like, oh, you listened to our presidents
version of that thank God there was someone who, who really had
that vision you know, you come in here but you can you can make
it you can be that guy. And he says, I lived in all these other
countries that shit he said live in England was nowhere is like
America is the best country in the world. And by coincidence,
maybe, maybe not. I came across a an interview of Gregory Clark
of UC Davis that's up near you.
Where is that? Davidson Davis? Oh, yeah. It's just north of
Sacramento over to
the hippie college.
Though hippie colleges UC Santa Cruz, okay.
I thought Davis was no
Davis is the Aggies.
And he had a he has a very interesting topic, a local
college professor has determined there is no American dream. The
American dream is an illusion. Well, first of all, yeah, we got
to agree on that. Of course, it's an illusion.
Well, if you went to Dave is absolutely correct. Illusion,
America has no higher rate of social mobility than medieval
England, or pre industrial Sweden. That's the most
difficult part about talking about social mobility is because
it is shattering people's dreams,
Clark crunch numbers in the US from the past 100
years. Why it equals x t, his data shows the
so called American dream, that hard work leads to more
opportunities is an illusion.
And that by the way, I don't think that is the truth. I don't
think that is part of the American dream, that hard work.
Do you make it if you think it is? It? Well, it may be a
subset?
Well, that would be part of
okay. But you know, the American Dream is you build a better
mousetrap. No,
no, no, if that's true, that's part of it. Or you're getting a
skewed version. You know, thanks to Obama.
I've been influenced the American
dream, that hard work leads to more opportunities is an
illusion.
I think opportunities come for different reasons. But okay,
well, I'll let
it pass and that social mobility here is no different than the
rest of the world
social mobility fear.
I didn't know there was such is that sounds bogus. Ethiopians
got it right.
Grandchildren, your great grandchildren, your great great
grandchildren is going to be quite closely related to your
average status now.
It's no American Dream. Professor Clark says it's the
American reality is that this
is coming from an economist because economists are used to
being unpopular. And so we are the right people to bear this
message that yes, the world is a limiting place. Oh, Professor
Clark study was published by the Council on Foreign Relations a
think tank specializing in US foreign policy. I love that
and it just wanted you to know, I know why you left it. For
bogus crap. The guy by the way, sounds like he's got pursed
lips. Small pince Nez on his on his nose ensnares Yes. moking
with a cigarette holder
and not. But I think it is important to point out that the
American Dream pays off in many different ways. We cannot all
be, you know, Zuckerberg or what? Yeah, you'd be Zuckerberg.
Yeah, there's plenty of room for more podcasters which is also a
part of the American dream.
This is true. There is plenty of room for more podcasts is red
book genre, the merrier. Red Book, red book, red book, but
okay, the habit. I gotta get to the right page.
They haven't picked it up yet. But they're working on it. I'm
sure this is came in from NBC. The Afghan police shot down and
killed a bird carrying a bomb this is really funny. So they
have this video. There's no other there's just this is wild
sound like it's like Photoshop or NO NO NO NO After Effects no
if you look at so they have this poor bird has been shattered
shot apart and go bomb and he has a little transmitter with
little antenna
go I can see the artists at work now that don't do our show. No,
no, no, I haven't a burger. Oh, okay,
but I'm gonna tell you what this is. So one of our producers did
a freeze frame on this video. And you can see the tag from ECC
H in Tajikistan was it was it was Becca, Stan, or the
telephone number. And it's the ECC h.ub.org This was a research
bird with a tracking device.
from Uzbekistan?
Sure. It was because they like all sand bunnies dancing around.
And it's like the last holdout of the old communist Empire.
It even says your contact
horrible place.
It's a E C C H Dodd uz i guess.org. So this this was just
it was just a research bird. But now NBC is like, oh, bom bom
watch. I'm waiting for this to play out waiting for this to
play out. That that crazy bomb maker in Yemen has come up with
bird bombs. Do you have it in the book?
I'm putting it in the book and I'm gonna highlight it and the
whole thing. Well, yeah, good. There we go. Bird bombs a sea
bird bomb.
For a band did one of the football games in the Bay Area
after the seagulls come in? There's plenty of bird bombs
gonna be
right. Oh, well, we are of course on the air broadcasting
with our podcast best one in the universe. I'm reliably informed
while the rest of the media is about to kick off an entire
month of retrospectives and year end lists.
Yeah, they've written a great way to pad the week coverage
that they have to begin with
I've anything Yeah. And we will continue to keep our heads down.
Well, I'm on the lookout as usual and since you brought this
up a little few minutes ago about memes and the American
dream and the rest. And we have talked and I'll remind people
that we do have the we have the tape tape the recording of the
guy who is a consultant goes to Hollywood and has them drop meme
bombs into scripts to promote certain agendas and the agenda
that shows up in this particular clip is global warming and of
course I'm looking for the clip and I just make my lips I
haven't you heard myself do that. But I still have not heard
the Yes No. Coming out of my own mouth
I'll let you know when the yes no hits. I
used to always let me know but I don't know why I can't hear it.
I have this one for you though. This was interesting
notice that as Yeah, yeah. Yeah, guy with lipsmacking
Yeah, that's great.
Busted you I think I thought you were this was an original.
Okay. I'm just oh, here it is. Okay, geez. This is the O MFG.
Clip. You're not even I want you to count the number of really
funny memes that they throw in here. This is the news. This
newsroom is still on? Apparently it's it's a new season, I
believe. Yeah. And so they have the new episode. I can't watch.
I can't watch the girl who's the blonde kind of square headed
round face girl who's one of the reporters and
she's she's Yeah, she's kind of the main character, although not
really because it's supposed to be masking and she's
the something character Yeah. And she's on a train and a guy's
got a document he's gonna give to her and she then he tells her
what it's about and what they're gonna do. And then she takes the
document that she goes back to her car mate, or the person that
she was chatting with earlier, and then they exchanged numbers
so she could get together now. Just make a list of how many
memes you can catch in this thing because they are some gems
and this baby.
This report won't be released for a week. The White House got
it today, but they won't show it to the president until at least
Monday. It's yours along with an exclusive interview. What's the
level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has passed the long
feared milestone. Now poison gas in the air hasn't been the sign
3 million years since before there were humans
we get to report you get the report
embargoed until Monday, and I'm exclusive enemy of him.
Any chance we can Get the administrator.
There hasn't been an administrator of the
Environmental Protection Agency for a while because Senate
Republicans will confirm one and the President doesn't want to
waste political capital, though. I'm not sure what he's saving it
up for. That statement was on the record coming up in just a
few minutes.
Richard, be careful when you're talking out loud in public. I
was careful. Okay, but you just told a train car full of people
that the apocalypse is nobody's listening it's nice meeting you,
Jack. I've got to get my bag. Isn't that your bag? This is a
month's rent for me. It's my executive producers. I don't
know your name. Maggie Jory. I have to call you
Trish my cart. Great. Jack, I've got a report here from the EPA
that says you probably shouldn't wait that long.
Unbelievable. We're all going to die we're all
going to die it starts off with we're all going to die it's
beyond his over the edge. It's one of the first means is over
the edge. We're already too late is the tipping point. We've
passed it as of course we've been since we began our show
seven years ago. We've been every day is like we just passed
the tipping point has nothing to do. The other thing is I love
the weather thing that really caught my attention was the way
they changed the carbon dioxide to poison gas.
First it was carbon pollution. Yeah, and then indeed it became
carbon gas. I had let me play that.
Say actually says poison gas poisoning last year. Right?
Poison? Yeah. So in other words, of course, this is the anti
human part of it because we exhale
poison gas, poison gas. So we're exhaling poison gas gas. Right?
You are poisoning you are in fact,
there's nothing in the world wherever called carbon dioxide.
Poison gas is not poison gas. Is not poisonous. Yeah, here's the
here's the because of lack of oxygen, but it's not poison.
Here's the Lear
foundation thing again. So
in the course of our work, this is in the two years 11 to 13 335
storylines that we worked on, have been aired, we've worked
with 35 networks in the past four years. 91 different
television shows.
That is Martin Kaplan. For the Lear Foundation, at the
Hollywood Health and Society meeting. Yes. Well, this is of
course, part of the propaganda stick messaging.
And I liked it. The last two ones I want to throw in there
was a few in the middle. The Republicans are responsible for
everything. They're bad. Yeah. And also the you mentioned
Armageddon, you've just talked too loud. You're telling
everyone is Armageddon to be assuming that it is. And then
last call me soon because we're all
gonna die from the poison gas.
The whole thing was disgusting.
Well, what do you want to tackle the propaganda or the or the
global warming? I can go both ways.
I don't care. I, you, I threw the ball to you. You got it? You
did.
The World Bank has released a report a 320 page report, which
I of course, looked at as a good reading on the plane. I didn't
get it actually until yesterday. So I came home. And as I'm
chomping I'm some jerky. Which I'd like to eat some nice bison
jerky, I'm reading the report. The report is so it's very
beautifully done. The you really have to see this. Of course,
it's in the show notes and marked up here in there at 674
dot no agenda notes.com. So imagine the background is a tree
with circles to bait, you know, a slice of a tree trunks, you
can see the circles. Then the middle of the circle is moves
into the foreground where you have four degrees. And a degree
is the little circle that's in the middle of the tree slice.
that make any sense?
Yeah, yeah, no, I get it. Yeah, no. Yeah. No.
And the title is to turn down the heat confronting the new
climate normal. The new climate normal. And yes, and the
assertion of this entire report is it's too late. We can't
change anything. We're
too late again.
Yes, even very ambitious mitigation can't change the fact
that the world has already locked In mid century warming of
1.5 degrees Celsius above pre industrial times,
locked and loaded, locked, locked in.
So this report, and I think this is a very smart thing to do, is
focused entirely on mitigation and resilience and grit. And as
the warming will bring increased threats to food and water
security, and jeopardizes poverty reduction efforts, the
report confirms
past myschool you know, what they've managed to do here,
they've managed to give themselves an out totally on
their crappy attempts to reduce poverty. So
it doesn't even matter if if we get all the way down, we could
not our fault, it's a global warming.
And here's here's what I mean. I'm always looking at the
background. Bright in the so this is the the World Bank,
International Bank for Reconstruction development, mind
you, this is what they do. They're putting on a report that
puts them in the foreground of the guys to rebuild and prepare
for the the inevitable apocalypse
or Armageddon. Maya better report by Bechdel.
Well, this work was prepared for the World Bank by the Potsdam
Institute for Climate Impact Research and climate and
analytics. Do you think they're biased? The findings,
interpretations and conclusions expressed in this work do not
necessarily reflect the views of the World Bank, its Board of
executive directors or the governments they represent? The
World Bank does not guarantee the accuracy of the data
included in this commission work? Thanks. After I read
that, they paid for this and as they won't even back it, well,
they're, you know, that's their hedging, you know, that that
that is another out here just giving themselves an out. Well,
you know, have you ever dabbled in information shifted the other
way? Let's say it goes global cooling? Oh, well, we never move
in there. We said right here that we didn't really trust the
information.
We knew this. Exactly. I only see what I have. dramatic
climate change and weather extremes are already affecting
millions of people around the world damaging crops and
coastlines and putting water in and putting water security at
risk. Across the three regions studying this report and record
breaking temperatures are occurring more frequently.
Rainfall is increasing intensity in some places, while drought
prone regions like the Mediterranean are getting drier
a significant increase in tropical north Atlantic cyclone
activities affecting the Caribbean and Central America.
So you can you can pretty much imagine that this report is all
about we need to build and you should come to us in partnership
at the World Bank that is it spend money to build and I
looked at the this outfit the Potsdamer institute that did
this particular study and just opening it up here ah, there was
a it's at pic dash Potsdam dot d. This this is a if you look at
this is another one of the mean, let's just skip this one. That's
all the Board of Trustees and, and the board of directors. I
get very tired when I looked at all these these organizations
that are involved in this and you just see the same people
over and over again and this connected directly to the World
Bank telling us that there's no other way to go then into
resilience mode. And I was going to connect that to something
else and it slipped my mind Hold on. I'm struggling I'm sorry.
I'm struggling.
Guys. I'm hurt. I can't find Why does anybody listen to them?
Fuck me. There Institute which is also part of the same scam
network.
You nailed it. Yeah, the scam the whole scam horrible.
Just we can make just kind of a tape of that where I just did.
Yeah.
Instead of that. Let's go to Russia. Russia, Russia. I've
been working with the coincidently I'm sorry.
I got a lot of good stuff from Russia. Good.
I believe there is a there is sufficient evidence to show that
there is a push underway for Russia that there is resent
regime change is the mission. And it is in it has begun and
this starts with of course with the gays that's why Brian the
gay Crusader alert now you're taking
as you finally took a meta Look at this. That's it. I liked this
already.
Thank you. I can't take all the credit for it because it's
sometimes it takes someone like Brian the gay Crusader to
jahromi like Okay, so we have this report that comes out by
the A Brian the
gay Crusader seems to be a little cozy recently.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Gene change DEVAR X out
we need that we need the balance, man. It's like they
won't work with the two of us on the show. This was
an awesome, what? Nothing. Go on. Just do your analysis.
Okay, it started with an AP report. And we know the AP is
bogus IV and crap, but you got to follow this stuff now. You
know, I thought Associated Press was kind of, you know, that's
the gold standard. No. Okay. Right. Scores of Russian gays
are seeking asylum in the US.
Okay, yeah, this is already good.
All right now, but this this is very interesting. When you see
how this message has been propagated? You know, I'm
going to stop you for a second. Just as a background, just want
to make mention that Putin ever since he took over the oil
companies, this is just sort of go on continue.
I'm sorry. Okay, the number here is 969. Applications for asylum
by Russia. In 2014. Fiscal Year Up 34%. From 2012. Up 33. That's
a plus. I should have done that. So notice that up 34% from 2012
fiscal year 2014. There's no mention of 2013. This is the
kind of Bogut of numbers that you have to pay attention to.
But this actually came out
in 1969. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
I know. Isn't that annoying? This, this report was already
out in October 15. So now we're more than a month later
Associated Press decides to write this. And we again have a
number this is from it started with a report from a Radio Free
Europe slash Radio Liberty. Now, as you know, Radio Free Free
Europe slash Radio Liberty is a United States State Department
funded outfit. Right. And the broadcast, is it the Board of
Governors? Yeah, they maintain this. And of course, this is one
of these outfits that was specifically mentioned, with the
overturn of the Smith Monday act. Because you can have, you
know, the Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty, they're not just
broadcasting over there in Europe and towards Russia.
They're also on the internet with reports like this, which is
pure propaganda. But again, the United States received 969 New
asylum applications from Russian nationals in the 2014. Fiscal
Year. And I'm going to bring up I mean, just bring this up here.
I have the numbers. From the past years of asylum from people
seeking asylum from Russia, I believe these numbers are total
numbers and not even gay numbers. Funny, gay numbers,
okay. We have Okay, from US Department of Homeland Security.
These are the statistics that were used. We have 2000 Let's go
2011. By country of nationality for Russia, 633 and 2011.
That's, that's not gay. That's all. Okay. Then we have 2012,
Russia 728. And then we have 2013, which is not mentioned in
this credible report from Associated Press 534. But they
say, fiscal year 2014. So I'm pretty sure that taking all of
the 534 number and adding whatever they have, which is not
published from 2014, and then saying, oh, there's 969 in
total, which is total is not just LGBTQ q ia P. It is total
asylum seekers. Now. Where does this report really come from?
There's a guy who works at Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty called
James Kirchick. And we remember James Kirchick from this famous
RT piece, where he got in everybody. This is from 2013.
You got in everybody's face on RT about the Russian gay
legislation, gay propaganda legislation, which of course on
the show, we also debunked as being completely horseshit.
Here's it look back. James Kirchick the guy who was now
putting out this report for radio works for Radio Free
Europe Radio Liberty.
Yeah. James and let me ask you the same, the same position
established in question
Yeah, well Harvey Firestone is a very famous American playwright
and actor. He said that you'll recall
that Harvey Firestone is the one who actually started the whole
Russia wants to kill gays mean, he's the one that began that
months after the legislation came out,
being silenced in the face of evil, something that we can do.
And so, being here on a Kremlin funded propaganda network, I'm
going to wear my gay pride suspenders. I'm going to speak
out against the horrific anti gay legislation that Vladimir
Putin has signed into law that was passed unanimously by the
Russian Duma that criminalizes homosexual propaganda that
definitely makes it illegal to talk about homosexuality in
public. We've seen violent attacks on gay people.
We'll discuss it later. What about Bradley Manning? First?
I'm not really interested in talking about Bradley Manning.
I'm just talking about the horrific environment of
homophobia in Russia right now. And to let the Russian gay
people know that they have they have friends and allies and
solidarity from people all over the world and that we're not
going to be silenced in the face of this horrific repression that
is perpetrated by the payment by your paymasters by Vladimir
Putin. That's what I'm here to talk about. All right.
You want to hear more you
know who this listen to is a little more it gets better gets
funny, by the way, because the way she's handling him, you can
just you can hear in her voice she's rolling her eyes, big time
and they're in Moscow. I think that too without and I
don't know how as a journalist, you can go to sleep at night and
seeing what happens to to two journalists in Russia who are
routinely harassed, tortured, and Sanjay
as you can see how you
and how you can go to sleep at night I find that a bomb and see
for everyone else. So this network should be ashamed of
yourself. on what's happening in Russia, you should have
and, and the verdicts, the horrific abuse we're waiting
for, for the verdict
24 hours a day to lie about about the United States and to
ignore what's happening in Russia. You have 24 hours a day
to do that. I'm going to take my two minutes and tell people the
truth. All right.
All right. I've had enough.
Yeah, so self aggrandizing here's here's a guy who was
after Snowden was of course, yes. Here's a
guy who works for the American propaganda Radio Free Europe
Radio Liberty. We have a saying for that. Hello, Kendall, this
is the pot calling. Now, who is Mr. James Kirchick besides the
man working at at Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty and
yelling about propaganda. He has cynically he happens to let me
get to his official title here. He is a I believe he's a fellow.
Yes, with the foundation for defense of democracies now the
step all over the neck Foreign Policy Initiative, or he's also
with the foundation for the defensive for of democracies,
who cares. He's with the Foreign Policy Initiative, which is what
Robert Kagan and Bill Kristol Hey, and boy, the Kagan boys
foundation for defense of democracies that
Kagan operations, all Kagan operations, and they have this
white paper, now I'm getting really deep from the the
Institute of modern Russia, the menace of unreality, how the
Kremlin weaponized his information, culture and money.
And
it's like, that's what, that's what we do.
It's funny, because this report, actually, and then we got it all
marked up for you actually says exactly this, how we do it, but
very, very small. And they show all of the stuff that Russia is
doing, and they have a talk about weaponizing. Information,
weapon weaponizing. Money. And I just read a little bit for you.
I say, go ahead.
It's just annoying, because we do it so much better than the
Russians. You think a genuine honest report would would say,
look, here's the Russia that tried to do a good job. We did
such a great job. Do an extreme, especially with our own public
now that we can propagandize them into believing anything.
Look how great we are. I mean, it just always, it means I don't
know if it's even a good idea to give the Russians any credit at
all. I don't think that's a mistake.
Well, this whole document is giving the Russians credit that
has some recommendations on what we should do, which I would like
to share with you. And that flows into the European Council
on Foreign Relations, white paper regime change in Russia,
which may be worth discussing for a moment. That's published,
all published since late 2008. Kremlin military intelligence
thinkers have been talking about information not in the familiar
terms of persuasion, public diplomacy, or even propaganda
but in weaponized terms, as a tool to confuse, blackmail,
demoralized subvert, and paralyze. This is so I love how
they've done this. And the ongoing catastrophe in Syria at
the Edward Snowden affair weakened the myth at Rush should
desire true partnership or alliance with the West? Then
Putin's annexation of Crimea and his invasion of eastern Ukraine
destroyed it that you get the idea what?
You get the idea after what Yeah, yeah, I get the idea. It's
a little slanted.
Let's look at something they call the Kremlin toolkit. Ooh,
right that
do exist of deconstructing ourselves. The Kremlin toolkit
and assuming that they're doing the same thing, only poorly, the
Kremlin
exploits the idea of freedom of information to inject the
disinformation into society. That's it. Hello. The effect is
not to persuade or earn credibility, but to sow
confusion to sow, sow, sow, sow sow confusion via conspiracy
theories and proliferate falsehoods.
Rao, as that's what's going on, we're that's why our show is
popular.
The Kremlin is increasing in its information. weaponizing
podcast. This show is I hereby declare this podcast,
weaponized, weaponized. There's increasing use of social media
to spread disinformation and trolls to attack publications
and personalities. This is its they literally took Hillary
Clinton's technical experts and they said, it's the Kremlin
toolkit. Yeah, this is what it sounds like. And it's great.
This is a find of the month unlike in the Cold War when
Soviets largely supported leftist groups. A fluid approach
to ideology now allows the Kremlin to simultaneously back
far left and far right movements, greens, anti
globalist and financial elites. The aim is to exacerbate divides
and create an echo chamber of Kremlin support. Wow. Let me
skip a couple here. We have the Kremlin users
with this says I'm going to stop yet Gauss be stopping. Yeah,
that's okay. If you'd like you'd like to record I'm going to stop
it. It's good and it's good. Stop me. What this says the way
this is worded. It says the following. Anyone who disagrees
with this reports a commie pinko and is being duped by the
Russians that would, by the way, include the two of us reading
the report.
We're totally been we completely been duped. The weaponization of
information culture and money is a vital part of the Kremlin's
hybrid or nonlinear war, which combines the above elements with
covert and small scale military operations. And like this
nonlinear war was that the referring to the conflict and
Ukraine saw nonlinear war in action, which I think means they
didn't really do it. Nonlinear war Funny, isn't it?
That's great. It doesn't mean anything, but it means
everything.
The Kremlin successfully erodes the integrity of investigative
and political journalism producing a lack of faith in
traditional media. But I think the traditional media is doing a
fine job of cells
or rushes that have made the media suck. Totally. I don't
think so.
offshore zones and opaque shell companies help sustain Kremlin
corruption and aid its influence unlike anywhere else. Duties,
okay. Recommendations, the macro. Would you like some
recommendations for the weapon recommendations at this point?
This is recommendations for the weaponization of information we
start Transparency International for disinformation. Here's the
recommendation the creation of an NGO non governmental
organization that we would create an internationally
recognized ratings system for information and provide
analytical tools with which to define forms of communication so
we'll have a rating the no agenda podcast is rated five on
the disinformation scale wow the there should be a disinformation
charter for media and bloggers. Oh, yeah, this is this is good.
These are these are big think tanks. We have this
we wrote this report. What's what who is the author's you
have to name them
by show by just I'm going to scroll up because I'm top down.
Censorship should be avoided but rival media
down censorship is what they just described should be
shouldn't be avoided. Just avoid that. But rival media from
AlJazeera to BBC Fox and beyond need to get together to create a
charter of acceptable and unacceptable behavior. Wow.
vigorous debate and disagreement lead
through just an Abnegation of all journalistic principles.
Yeah, but we'll have a couple of
drinks. Well, yeah, well, there's that
vigorous debate and disagreement is of course to be encouraged,
but media organizations that practice conscious deception and
should be excluded from the community. Now there goes the CD
sales guy. A similar code can be accepted by bloggers and other
online influencers. I think we may be online influencers and
then probably counter disinformation editors.
This is so good. What is a counter disinformation editor
glad you asked. Many newspapers now employ public editors or
ombudsman, who question their outlets reporting or op eds
selections and addresses matters of public controversy that these
might entail. Yes, it's true counter propaganda editors would
pick apart what might be called all the news unfit to print.
How about native advertising in this list?
And we can do that we can move we are counter propaganda
editors.
This by the way, if we're going to use that as a new do counter
propaganda, counter propaganda editors, again to editors,
that's what we do. We are the currently the number one counter
propaganda editors in the country. I'm going
to skip a couple here public information campaigns, stopping
all disinformation at all times is impossible. public
information campaigns are needed to show how this information
works.
And you know, I get an idea you get some guy to draw cartoons
video with VoiceOver arrows and stuff when somebody talks over
and fucking annoying
music in the background. Here's how it here's how disinformation
works you get the problem but the RT Kremlin Putin bit public
information campaigns, campaigns are needed to show how
disinformation works and shift the public's behavior towards
being more critical of messages that are being buzzed at them.
Targeted online work audiences exposed to systemic and
intensive disinformation campaigns such as the Russian
speaking communities in the Baltic states need to be worked
with through targeted online campaigns that include the
equivalent of person to person online social work, whatever the
hell that means.
It's like, you know, like a social worker comes up to the
door. Hey, and and asks you how your children are doing.
We need to work on you. Yeah, that's the UK the weaponization
of money here some recommendations from this fine
Think Tank. Let's see libel fund.
Financial as a bad sign right there, your
wait for it. Financial and institutional support needs to
be made available. So the deep research can be carried out in
the sensitive area where politics, security and
corruption meet. When I think that's MSNBC, this needs to be
backed by a fund for journalists who face potential libel
litigation for the offense of doing their jobs to a nonprofit
organization based in western capitals modeled on lawyers
without borders, but dedicated exclusively to defending
journalists is long overdue. Maybe we should determine let's
begin. Let's just do it and determine what journalists are
first. Okay. Sarah Lacy, she's a journalist is Adam curry not a
journalist, targeted offshore network of students, they are
both journalists. That's right. A network of stringers in
offshore jurisdictions is needed to carry out deep research into
the financial holdings of Russian oligarchs and officials.
Oops, don't trip on any American oligarchs while you're at it.
And he's my favorite crowdsource investigations. It is in the
interest of NGOs to enlist experienced bloggers, citizen
journalists, or adept social media users to collaborate on
specific events or news stories that adhere to the same
standards of empirical rigor used by traditional journalists.
A handful of analyst armed with YouTube Google Maps, Instagram
or foreign company registration websites can generate headlines
that that's what the CIA does. So, they are advocating
as something that has already went journalist to become what I
see now is in the olden days, the phony journalists that would
go out do this stuff then you know trying to get them regime
change we get paid good money by the CIA. Now they want them
to work for drain for free for free or free loggers wrap up
this is this is the new economy. You pay and while you're at
while you're at it over while you are combating
disinformation, do it in your car as an Uber driver for the
weaponized of culture, weaponization of culture and
ideas as a few recommendations. Reestablishing transparency and
integrity in the expert community. I see a charter
identifying clear lines between funders and research that's not
that interesting. They want an alternative to Valdai. If you
recall Valdai is where Vladimir Putin spoke very clearly about
how he felt America, the United States was behaving, we get some
of the translation they write out, and so they needed that was
never covered in American media
we should mention No.
But this is this disinformation. These disinformation
recommendations are not just for the United States, they're also
for the Baltic states etc. So a the Valdai alternative abroad
gathering should be convened to bring together think tanks,
experts and policymakers to focus on addressing fears around
the erosion of traditional religion and national
sovereignty, then mainstreaming Russia's neighbors such as
Ukraine, Georgia and Estonia in the debate about Russian policy
and engaging with swing states, such as the BRICS, and they
should be in other countries being courted by the Kremlin to
join its anti Western international with an E at the
end. Overall, the struggle against this information
strategic corruption and the need to reinvigorate the Global
Case for liberal democracy are not merely Russia specific
issues, today's Kremlin might perhaps be best viewed as an
envelope guard of the malevolent globalization. Eu oops. This is
this whole report. And this is completely marked up this is
well worth downloading only 44 pages. But there is so much in
here and it truly truly shows how this is being slowly but but
but surely propagated by foreign policy initiative FPI which is
the Kagan's and by the way, the our friend here Kirchick shows
up in this report, hold on. I had highlighted and here it was
Kirchick Here we go. Meanwhile, the Kremlin has been attempting
to make inroads into Britain's political establishment. Elite
officials are hired as members of the boards of Russian
companies. A 2002 in the 2002 federal election gave German
American relations. Oh, I have German American relations been
so Rocky. This is from American journalist and Germany
specialist James Kirchick. So not Oh, that's
interesting. I'd
only a gay specialist, but a Germany specialist. Oh, yeah.
Bring up German gays and he's there
with all the other ones. Then here's his little piece.
Yeah, we have to Yeah, we are definitely dissociating
ourselves from the Germans.
While our tea helps feed the American Left religious
conservatives are seduced by Putin's anti LGBT stance. And
libertarians like Rand Paul by the idea of a common enemy, the
US government.
So there's always a communist?
Well, of course. Ben isn't with us peace, Ukraine, the advent of
nonlinear war. This I'm gonna send you this junk because
you'll never go to the show notes page. I'll send this to
you in email. Oh, yeah, here's another one. This is about
Ukraine now. After the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH
17 RT spread conspiracy theories regarding the cause ranging from
the flight being shut down by Ukrainian forces aiming at
Putin's personal plane to Ukrainian development of book
Sam's in the area. Yeah, fine. If you just release the black
box and the flight recorder, where's the black box? We could
we couldn't
box has been in custody for how long now? Like a year, we could
probably you know, quit, but no one has said anything about the
black box. Yet they write this kind of crap. This is
ridiculous. These people should be ashamed of themselves. And
then they keep running this propaganda on us. They should
just do their own thing without without screwing up the American
public to such an extreme that everybody's confused and days,
like I say, and the rest of it all because Putin having Snowden
I'm still back on that.
Yes, Putin having Snowden but but this really is.
Oh, they'd love to get rid of Putin. So here's the cozy with
Germany for one thing.
The European Council for relations regime change in
Russia. Just a few. A few highlights this also a doc
document highlighted in the show notes. Putin's third presidency
is now being forced to rely more upon coercion than co-option. A
shift in style so fundamental that is possible to talk of
Russia undergoing regime change. Despite the increasing
increasingly fertile ground for both political and economic
dissatisfaction. Russia's opposition has so far failed to
capitalize on it for several reasons. So now they're going
into the mechanics of how you create a so called color
revolution. Then you recall there was a little bit going on
a year or two ago. What was the color they didn't know they
didn't even get to the color. They couldn't even get to the to
the choosing of the color. Then what happened then, is Putin,
basically, I said, basically kicked out all the NGOs, because
he knows that's where it's coming from the end, all of
these groups have money from the National Endowment for Democracy
and USA ID.
And what is Drew? knows what's going on? Yes, he knows. So he
outlined it exactly. And that should be the speech that
Americans should listen to. So they know that these guys aren't
being fooled by this nonsense. So the opposite American public
is.
So the first reason it does not work yet is these boneheads, as
it says in this report, popular discontent has not been in sync
with the electoral cycle. So they kicked it off at the wrong
time.
Yeah, they screwed it up. Yeah. And if you really follow this
closely, who is actually quite popular with the public? Hell
yeah, that this is why I think it's done. And now they're
hunkering down. Because we've decided that the latest, you
know, trick up our sleeves, which will benefit Democrats are
really talking about because the American public loves this is
they're going to sink the price of oil, the way Ronald Reagan
did to, to kind of bring the Russia to its knees because they
can do a lot of things. I have a couple of reports on Russia
needs
at least $100 a barrel oil,
that's a myth. Oh, that's not true. No, they do. They do. They
do to explore the Arctic region, and they need like 120 or
something up there. But generally speaking, they're
they're not. This is all the most disinformation out there is
about what it cost to produce a barrel of oil and where you
breakeven, right. And I remember a number of years ago, while we
were doing the show, and I think we had a clip where one of the
Saudis said that we can make money at 10 to $20. I mean, this
stuff just comes out and makes money. They'd like more money
than that, of course, the Russian thing is probably, I
mean, it took us two, we had to drop it down to 20. Or
something. I think during Reagan's administration to get
the Russians to fold I think there's at 40 or 60. Easy but
here's some some some information that may or may not
be good on constantly, this guy Constantine seminoff. On on our
T was discussing this with the
with the who was, who was Constantine Seminole, he
is a oil consultant in VI some muckety muck in Russia that
knows a lot about the oil business. And he's on this is
the RT, that's from the network in Moscow
simple. And if Europe doesn't want to see Russian gas on its
market, so what can we do? Well try to knock on the closed door.
And it's very difficult for us Soundstream is more important
for Europeans and not for Russia. And because, you know,
without Russian guests, the situation in Europe will be
extremely difficult. You're speaking about energy security.
So we're trying to, you know, increase the security, energy
security of Europe.
And how does China feature in all of this Russia's flourishing
relationship with China and gas being delivered there via
pipelines,
who see the very fast acceleration of our negotiation
with China, you know, we signed already so called eastern route
for 38 BCM, of annual supply chain, but now, I think that
next screen is possible to sign the contract, so called Western
road, and instead of service em, it can be 100 BCM. So that is
why it's a serious amount. And, you know, from Gazprom was also
the question of choice. What is the priority to build Altai, to
build power of Siberia? Or to continue to press on Europe to
explain not to press him but to explain to you the necessity of
this spy plan?
And what about the risk for Europe then? Because he's
saying, Look, you're taking on the risk yourself? What kind of
risk are we talking about?
The idea is very simple if Europe doesn't want to see the
real energy security, because you know, South Stream is a
direct supplier of Russian gas to Europe without any transit.
Candice, if you still want to have all this headache with
Ukraine, because you know, we still, we still don't know what
will be the situation this winter with Ukraine? Yes, we
signed this agreement in Brussels, what is such work in
the Ukraine doesn't want to pay? The situation is too
unpredictable. If you're upset, you want to see this very stupid
situation. What can we do with this? Of course, we can
eliminate this project. But we hope that Europe will be more
clever because we don't want to go away from European market, we
try to be one of the biggest supplier to European gas market.
So that is why it's a question of, we can say the question to
Europe. Europe is clever or Europe is not so clever.
You know, this really the South Stream thing is very
interesting. And we've I know we've discussed it several
times, but just to summarize the The European Union does not want
these Serbia. And was it Hungary? And maybe even Moldova,
I'm not sure. They don't want them to facilitate the South
Stream pipeline without really being a European project and
then being in control, because they want to create this this
Energy Union and have common have centralized purchasing of
resources, which of course, not every country wants the so this
is all taking away the sovereignty of Europe. And
they're really slowing slowing down the the progression of the
the South Stream pipeline, which by the way, has total oil and BP
and everybody's in that. I again, I keep thinking that
maybe they're all just in on this, the losers is clearly
going to be us the citizens that I know for sure,
but it's going to be the citizens of Europe more than
anybody else would with this particular situation with
Russia. I mean, we're not going to have any there's going to be
zero effects, I believe in the American public group by doing
this this action against Russia except for the Snowden thing,
but the Europeans are gonna take it up to but if they if they
can't get this, this Russian gas, which is inexpensive
by comparison, well, not all Europeans Germany will be just
fine
because for me, it's fine because they get right because
they got that North pipe that goes right there as base
essentially, it's, I said it right from Russia, right into
Germany. Here you go. And which is annoys us. I think this is
part of it, I think is the grand regularization scheme. I think
we'd like to see, the Europeans get totally screwed hosed. For
whatever reason, well,
let's think logically in cycles. It's about time. Except instead
of having the typical Germany attacks France, maybe just
bleeding to death. Yeah, nope, no gas, no, no money, the your,
your Euro, we're gonna kill that you have your central bankers,
clueless. There's nothing left to do about that.
I, I think it's a possibility, then.
And do you also, I think it may be a possibility that Russia
might be involved with some of the other actors, the true
globalists. I don't know about these Kagan guys,
you know, they're, they really want to play so good. Whatever
they're up to,
I'll read two more paragraphs. There's little common ground for
a positive strategy and a negative strategy based simply
on the shared opposition to Putin. But the question is
revolution, or evolution, which will be the best course. I like
that.
Well, we managed to pull off a revolution in my dawn with our
big with our meddling going in with a giving our cookies you
know, it's having a CIA guy roaming around it, which is the
was the to me was the most audacious thing we've ever done.
And I've done I've made the
and we must remember, Victoria Nuland married into the Kagan
family she's the one that not only named the next government
named him who was going to be in who was going to be out
and made the infamous comment and would you have the clip of
Yeah, do
you want the long one or the short way the
long one it's so entertaining
enough laughing This is what I'll say
I would like to fact that she would say that yeah, even in the
you know, Krista Russians are the ones who obviously leak this
every listening and like we do
and they all liked about the great state craft that was
deployed.
They cry they correct them and send it out to the public and so
okay, we're all listening to this woman. This woman who's
still a guy's a job saying buck the EU that is supposed to be
our trading partner is supposed to be somebody we won't work
with she
she means this from the bottom of her heart. Yeah, no, she said
it with anger. This is how these people operate. Yeah,
and nobody has done this is this is I guess an I'm sorry worked
in this situation when she she didn't even she didn't even say
she was she never even said she was sorry. And now Yes, okay.
This is okay. We are a government our own government is
pulling this stuff off and our representative is saying things
like this to our trading partner.
Yes, this is very good we had a war with these people. This is
good statecraft
yes we're at war with these people absolutely are so that's
a rebel eyes them.
Alright, wind this up. We have Lavrov if you just do a search
for regime change Russia. You will see Yeah, I'll give you the
most recent from Lavrov, he is the foreign minister from
Russia. This reply smacked Saturday 22nd of November for
Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the west on Saturday of trying
to use sanctions imposed on Moscow in the Ukraine crisis to
seek regime change in Russia.
Russian West's sanctions against target Putin not policy Russians
this right. That's right. I agree. Yeah, won't play ball he
won't give us he won't give us that. Snowden. No, I can't come
up with his name. Give us freakin Snowden. Snowden and
everything's good.
In the morning, says rabbit Sandlin, who will be mentioned
later a donation segment this accompanies his donation, we
have two yellow press newspapers in Finland. I'm just
exaggerating a little bit when I tell you that Mr. Putin has been
on the on every front page for at least a month now. Now the
man on the street will of course not realize that Putin is there
not because of something he has actually done, but that his face
is used only to sell more newspapers. So you remember we
heard from Don, that we are probably going to have some big
summit in Helsinki, with the Russians. And then really, when
I think about what Don said to me, my uncle Don, he said that
he regrets that he hadn't used that he regrets how he portrayed
the his feelings about Putin in the book in the book, and also
in an op ed that he wrote. And I'm thinking he knows that
they're going to try and kick him out. And that's why he's
very interested because Don is you know, he's, he's a guy who
just wants the right thing to happen. And, and I would argue
that it's better to have the guy at least we know, a little bit,
versus some other jabroni. Can you imagine a new guy coming in?
That'd be horrible. But it has to be one of our guys.
Yeah, well, if we had a true regime change, but I just don't
see it happening.
I mean, all these listed look at our track record here. Egypt,
Libya, regime change Libya, good example. The places now it would
have been less we wanted to just go that's fine. Yeah. I mean,
what is the other one Tunisia kind of went back for that was I
don't think I'm not sure we had anything to do with anything
that just triggered our doing other stuff. As Syria is a mess.
And now we got the ISIS thing. And Iraq is a joke. Yeah, we
suck at this. Why are we trying to do this? Unless, of course,
we just want to rub allies. I mean, although I can hardly
believe that what what's the point? The rub lies themselves,
obviously, part of what's happening, but I have some of
the conversations I had in the lowlands. Everybody realizes
that the increased spending on military as all of the NATO
countries that have have now been given the message we heard
that from the from President Obama, he gave the message hey,
you are not putting your 2% GDP into NATO coordinated
militarization and then of course benefits us that's for
that's for our weapon industry, which is what we do. That's what
we do. So you might as well or export, you might as well have
some bad guy who is clearly invading everything and
everybody and is just a scary guy.
It's gonna get ya. He's gonna get you and again, you know, so
anyway, I
thought it was kind of fun to combine the the long nurtured
meme of Vladimir Putin hates gays right into the Kagan camp
and and into Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty, it truly is.
No, it's well done.
You know, they're not getting the they don't do the, you know,
it's
like, it's like they never say not well done. It's well thought
out. Yes, but
I think execution is minor. I mean, this is not, you got to do
better. You've got to behead a gay guy to chop his penis off
something that
had to be head end because that meme is in the air.
Yeah, well, we should do that. And her head is gone. Yeah.
Well, our heads are still on at this point in time. I'd like to
thank you for your courage and your deconstruction and say in
the morning to you John C. Dvorak.
And in the morning to you Adam curry. Also in the morning all
boots on the ground, feet in the air subs in the water, and all
the Dames and nights out there.
And in the morning, everybody in the chat room, no agenda
stream.com. Good to have you all on board. Thank you to Baron
Nussbaum, who brought us the artwork for episode 673 I think
we were low did we go to evergreens for No, no, we didn't
know we didn't I'm sorry.
No, there was there before six seven. Now us nick the RAT for
the newsletter.
Right. This was seasons beatings, which was a great One
season's beatings. Oh, by the way, I'm seeing people now send
us based upon your newsletter. You've had two photos now of a
cruelty to animals.
Yeah, part one and part two.
Did you see our producer who sent us a picture of her cat?
No. being cruel to the cat dressed up like a like a
reindeer? Oh, that's just cruel. Yeah. And what she said, Here's
my cruelty to animals. Yeah.
Animals do not like to be humiliated.
No, I don't think so either. I think they'd like to be loved.
No, they wanted to read No. They like to be fed. Hello.
That's pretty much it. Just feed me. This program, which I
believe was mentioned on NPR Morning Edition Saturday, which
I have not heard yet. But it was a podcasting story about
advertising. So I presume they said,
I taught I was taught to the writer of that piece and I
locked discussions.
Oh, were you in there? Were you in the show?
I I doubt it. I do whatever the case was, I did have influence
on the piece, which I think is more important than actually
getting a quote in. Well, he was he will tell you the story. This
is not the only one going on. There's a bunch of this going
on. Ever since that one article ran that one time. It's one of
the big papers
about cereal, the podcast. Yeah, that one?
Yeah, it was Washington Post, I believe everybody, this is the
way the news business works. Oh, must be a trending topic. And so
everybody's doing these stories. And so NPR when the New York
Times X editor I spent like hours with him talking about
why do you do that? Hour? Why do you do that? You know, they're
only gonna use like three words.
It's only because I do a lot of reasons I do it. One, I get to
know the guy, too, I get some influence on his thinking not a
lot. But enough to push things a little bit. I don't care if I
I've done enough of these things. I know that I get the
one or two words and that's fine. I don't care. I'm not into
that I'm in to find out what's going on. So I can bring it to
this show and say, here's what this guy's up to. And here's
what you're going to expect from other news sources, because I'm
now part of the system
that says, Yes, you are a go to pundit.
I'm a go to guy. Anyway. Anyway. Anywho Go ahead. You can say I
was gonna say it, I decided that as No, you always during the
horn or something. This guy was a he's the NPR guy is not always
on NPR. He does a lot of different things. And he his
whole thing was to start off by trying to figure out how much
money people are making. And then he was really focused on
Leo. Oh, interesting. And he um, another guy, there's another
third party that's doing this too. And I can't remember his
name. But he was also focused on Leo. And they're trying to
they're trying to figure out if Leo's you know, where Leo's fits
in the scheme of things. And in terms of understanding
podcasting, because they I think a lot of these guys realize that
that thing we talked about that guys are doing that the
operation was the name again that you talked about PRX,
radio, Toki or x or whatever, it's not really podcasting.
Well, they're doing podcasts, but it's really intended to make
programming for pub for NPR for Public Radio. Yeah, it just set
it damn has to be repurposed as a pocket is not a true podcast.
And one of the points I was trying to do when I was talking
to all these people, was to indicate what podcasting really
is. And we, you know, based on what it is, which is what we do,
which is not produced for any other reason, except for this
market and to use the distribution network of the
internet. And and to maximize that rather than doing
multipurpose versions with a lot of overhead and that stupid
sound, they haven't all the rest of it. But that's what the
orientation was was Leo is really a toward Leo. And so I
and I've been on Leo show enough that I could talk to it without
them. But the guy was, this is also interesting. The guy was
also,
but he's probably trying to figure out if he can make money
and leave the stupid. That's what I find.
There was a little of that with everybody. Everybody looks at
this. And they say, you know, it's one of these things when
you're a writer. And you're saying I would just it's kind of
an interesting business. Let me talk to the CEOs of the top
companies and see how much I can learn about this business. Maybe
I can get a job. I'm a rule
follower. Right? What do you do?
Are you a rule follower, okay.
And so the guys are looking at this trying to see if there's
money to be made, and when there but the accents the journalist
at a certain level, they're also looking for dirt, of course, and
so they're trying to get dirt from me,
I think they would probably either find out that you could
make a ton of dough and switch or totally discredit that crap
because it's competition, but I think there's they're on the
fence.
Actually, I didn't think of that, but that's one of the
things. Absolutely. Let's get some dirt on this and show that
it's bogus. And there's no it's got no future there would that
element was in play? Absolutely. You're right. Yeah, of course.
And I've you know, just
just just as a side note, I don't know where I saw it, but I
must have been on crap. It was yesterday. So by the corner my
eyes started watching, then it's Ira Glass with no, you know,
this little company
old hack from NPR. And
they're so wrong about what they think. Let me just say, pod pod
show. Okay, pod show. This just doesn't work. What you're trying
to do is get venture capital money. Ben round.
At the back of your jacket, you've jumped over the audience
right there. I want to back you up. Okay. You're trying to
discredit what they think is an operational model that was
already disproven. But you didn't bring that into the into
your explanation, you have to back up, and you said pod show.
And then you assumed everyone knew about pod shown how it
worked. Nobody knows about pod show. Okay,
then I prefer to erase that maybe I can get that forgotten
by Google. We had this company started in 2005. And it was
exactly this model, which semicolon with a network of
shows with central the services, including the selling of
advertising space for your show, and distribution of money that
comes in. The only thing they're doing different right now.
Excuse me, this I did a Kickstarter to get these other
shows some money. Now, they got 10 shows they raised $600,000.
The How long is it really going to last? If you have more than
one person producing on each show, I know the numbers I've
been down this route, then then you have to actually sell some
advertising when you are a show that has big press, because of
whatever decision Washington Post made. And everyone Oh,
cereal. By the way, I think the show was good. I don't I have no
time to listen to it. But I hear a lot of people who really like
it. And it's kind of
just like old NPR style show. If you like NPR, you learn you're
gonna go dig
in. Exactly. You're gonna love it. So it has cachet. They don't
necessarily have a true way to really report numbers. Well,
they haven't just as official or Bogota, or correct as Nielsen or
the or the Armitron. But there's no officially sanctioned outfit
that does that yet. That that never, that never came to
fruition. So therefore, you can't really sell ads that
effectively. But regardless, the overhead you create with the
network in the middle is too big to sustain a network of shows.
And quite honestly, you're
gonna be like, like, like, what do you have to put in there old
fashion, this style network,
then it gets worse, because the guys who were doing this a
couple of people starting this up, and the guys who were doing
this, here's what you're going to find out, take it from me,
Okay, I've got the bullet wounds, one, you're really not
going to enjoy meeting with venture capitalists who have
given you money, they have these board meetings, they don't
understand radio, they don't understand anything of what
you're talking about. They just want to know how many registered
users how many ads have you sold, I bought, you're going to
have no numbers for them, it's going to be very difficult. That
what gets with the horrible part is your network is going to
become unhappy you will be you will have an entire team of
people just to suck your producers off every day until
the ads come in. Yeah, don't worry about Yeah, you're next on
deck. Oh, well, this ad was only appropriate for these types of
shows and not for those shows. So don't get old man. It is not
worth it. And in today's networked world, it is
completely unnecessary. It's crazy. You do not need that's
only if you the only reason people will do this because
they're afraid they can't do it themselves. They're afraid of
managing the money. They're afraid of doing their own PR
holiday. Somebody else do it for me. No, you used to go it used
to be happy if you got an NBC or CBS or the ABC Radio Network
because they had the only connection to the audience. That
is why you had to do everything they said that's why it made
sense. They were the true gatekeepers of all things that
the content and the antennas now that is gone. You do not need
this. At all. The end surprise most people will never make a
living and doing this because it's hard. It's radio Arts and
Sciences Arts and Sciences. Alright, I'm done.
Well, you didn't quite finish the story.
No, because the point is is not going to work. It's just not
yes, you get that point. And these guys are enjoying me being
in the limelight and everything but yeah,
they're Big Shots are, as you say there are network
executives.
And there's it doesn't matter what these people so people who
are producers going to join up view are now about to join a
group where the guys who hated the network executives are now
the network executives. And they're going to do it different
this time. Oh, yeah. By getting back with all their frustration
we've entered on you.
Yeah, that's exactly what happens. It's like one of those
things where you where the job defines your personality, you
can't get around it. So if you're, if you want to create a
network and become a network executive, because you can do
it, right, you become a network executive, you might as well
work for NBC, you're going to be the same. At the end of the day,
you're going to be that guy. Yep. Your suit. And well,
anyway, I hope, boy, that by not having a network, we have a
stream of things that we put on, but it's gonna we don't manage
any of it. In terms. Yeah, we don't actually pretty much
nothing. And this show is produced and done by us, with
nobody telling us what to do except the audience in a in a in
a mass way. Not in one guy complaining, although we listen
to every individual complaint. That's why we try not to smack
our lips. But we also demand and I think we demand with cars,
that people support this show. And we make arguments left and
right, why they should support the show. And if you if you want
to do podcasting, you can bring yourself to do that, because a
lot of people can't bring them so Oh, God, I can't bring myself
to asking for help. I
would like to point out ladies and gentlemen, this is the mark
of a true professional who now segues into our donation
segment. Well done. Well played, sir. That's right there.
So if you can't bring yourself to do that, then yeah, okay,
join some network and fail because that's what's going to
happen to the end of the day, because because the model for
making money and producing this is changed substantially. We
should write a book works with us because we're a two man
operation with some very help. We have lots of ancillary help.
We have volunteers. We have
artists, we have contacts, we have a network of intelligence
gatherers, all around the world, and we put it together and make
a presentation for this. For the producers who make the show work
by helping us with
it's a collage, a collage, of course of collaboration.
It's a collaboration collage. That's right. I liked it.
I liked color. I like collage,
collage of collaborations better. Yeah. Okay, so let's
thank a few people, including our top executive producer for
today's show, Sir Frank ASAN shot in a while. I haven't heard
from him in a while. No, he hasn't been on for a while, as

not like, yeah, we're not like count counterpoint all the time.
No. And sometimes we would do when we do agree, it's just that
we're agreeing, but doesn't mean you have to agree to anything. I
really would like people to restrain from making this
comment. That's all I have to say.
Yeah, perhaps you're just not even. Yeah,
yeah, just drop it. We assume we assume we make an ass out of you
and me. We assume that you don't agree with everything we say is
there's just I feel the show is very important in the otherwise
failing world of journalism. We believe the same thing. Please
keep up the great work. And again, the drinks are on me. If
you catch me on one of the flights, this is Todd moss, the
flight attendant on
Southwest, right right.
So if he sees us and I was hoping to see him on the flight

the likelihood of you seeing him is zero pretty much zero. Yeah,
it's not like they don't have a lot of flights. I don't even you
know, hang out with each other.
Yeah, well, you might, you know, you never know I did get
recognized in the elevator at the Seattle airport.
Oh, really? Yes. But But and me me air kick butt recognizes who

Eric, who has a bumper sticker on his truck? He came down to do
some work,
which is wake up in the morning. It says Yeah, well, I love those
stickers. I wish I
had much of a horn honks and in the morning people yelling he
said don't do it.
Really? Yeah. I will. I will say I'm surprised at the the type of
people and situations where people throw out and in the
morning to me it's something it takes me off guard.
Yeah. Usually because it's usually behind your back. Yeah,
they happen to us at Costco up up in scrim Washington. where
somebody says in the morning and then he turned around, couldn't
see him. He disappeared. He shot around the corner or something.
I'm not sure. Maybe he was freaked out. Onward David douche
in Malibu, California. 23456 It's a trending way to donate as
usual excellent deconstruction on the last show. Love the men
lying for sex can be construed as rape bit. Not a bit
unfortunately, no as a law as the no agenda offer still stands
for the film aftermath playing in New York, New York. You get a
discount if you say in the morning in the morning at the
box office three book books off thank you for your comedy and
your courage courageous attempts to expose the truth. And I think
this did wasn't this on the last spreadsheet. I don't know why it
would be oh no, no, this is he is re he's donating again. And I
would like to say to read punch up as movie crew Chris Penn
strong and final performance of a simple man on the edge of
catastrophe and Anthony Michael halls dead on portrayal of the
epitome of an American Alpha male is fantastic. The two men
bring home a movie that's both exhilarating and terrifying. A
metaphor for corporate America run amok.
I hope this thing comes out on DVD or shows up out here. But if
you're sure you're gonna go check it out and let us know.
So you get to choose some clips.
I would I know what you want. I'm not going to choose the
Calypso clip. Oh, really? Okay. I would like to get the hidden
with the Constitution from Reverend Manning.
Wow. Okay, that is Rupam. Okay, let me see if I can do this for
you. I'm
on. You can find it. Yeah, no, I
can. Okay. Anything else you want?
Well, yeah, if you can find that Teresa's Teresa's daughter
saying I'm 11 years old, and I even I can spot a douchebag I
always thought that was funny.
I don't remember it would be under Brooke, I believe. I don't
remember that. Yeah. Brooke with an E.
Yeah, I think so. Yeah, girl.
I might have to disappoint me. Here's a here's a crazy thought.
Yeah, try and give me this earlier. Yeah. Brooke No, I
can't I don't I can't
Okay, no worry about it. Just give me the Manning is good to
Bucha
you've got karma got that one.
How about Sharpton one where he goes and he just floods and
floods of much? Like you mean resist? We much yeah, resist we
much. Okay. Fine. We got that. That may be my absolute
favorite.
It's definitely now the shit again. Sorry, I don't mean to.
Okay, but there is something wrong with Apple's shit.
But resist. We much. We must. And we will much about that be
committed
at least a million a year. And by the way, I want to refute
something you said on the the divorce Horowitz podcast, but I
say it's not. Yeah, like astronomical numbers for budget
of this Al Sharpton show? No. I don't think he's making a
million dollars pay either. I really don't. That I
think he is. No, we looked at his numbers. And you and I bet
you have this that you say for every what you're saying for
every million viewers? It's a million dollars or something.
You have some metric which is just Yeah,
I don't believe in that. Mr. Toon. Matt. Yes, the metric. So
what everyone uses,
except for the people who worked in TV all their life apparently.
Okay. No, no. Okay. It's fine. I think your metrics off. Now, let
me just quickly say what's wrong with Apple? When you use the
spotlight search, which I don't use it? Well, there's, it's very
handy when you're looking through 10,000 clips to find
Brooke. And it works very well. It finds relevant stuff. But
then when you want to go the Apple has come up with this
idea. Oh, well, let's do tooltips and pop ups for
everything. Um, so then the computers turn that off? No.
Well, wait a minute spotlight preferences. Oh, thank you. Let
me say no, no, you cannot turn it off. Oh, that makes no sense.
And then and then you can't drag it out of that list that
appears? You can only open it with the application. Well,
sometimes you can, but usually it opens up quick time is
stupid,
saying quick time. You just disable it
When? When Steve died. That was the end of the company. It'll
take
the watch that things sink when it finally begins. I've said
that apple looks to me like a short sale. When the first store
closes. Yeah. As long as they're expanding, I don't see a
problem. Although I have to say I do have an apple. We can talk
and we'll get to tech news. I'll talk about it.
Or you ready at this rate. We'll never get there.
Well, if I don't finish this list, Dave. Dave, the douche has
got. Did you
did you do Jason Kiefer? I'm sorry. Yes. Okay. Because I
talked
about how he just sent a check with four bucks in an envelope.
There was nothing no note key.
He sent an email. Yes. Yeah. And I we both got it. Don't worry.
Yeah. The whole thing. We don't have to read on the air, but it
does become a night today. Oh, and that's correct. Because it's
gray. I don't know that should be blue. No.
If you're going to mail it seems to me. You would put your note
there. You would put a note in the mail, with the cheque or on
the back of the check even that'd be kind of amusing. Okay,
well, that's fine. Doesn't matter. As long as we gathered
that information in for you. We're good. We're all good.
We're good to go. Okay, Dave to do wishes there carry are an
dumpskey Radomski in Beatty Nevada, maybe billings 3456 bt
readings from Beatty Nevada, I think is baby's not BTS baby.
We've been listening for six months. We hit one another in
the mouth. And now we need a de douching for George and Kerry
and Anita Double D douching. And then he makes it go she says
Kerry makes a comment about how good I am on another podcast,
which we won't mention on this podcast.
You've been D deuced. You go GA Carrie.
And finally David K in Tempe, Arizona. We're lost to Arizona
in a football game. 200 bucks. I started my a death penalty trial
this week, just in time for the holidays. But he's apparently a
juror.
He may be an attorney.
It could be could be a Yeah, it could be either one. And we'll
need a big dose of please don't kill Yep, no, he's attorney
because he wants it. Please don't kill my client karma. An
attorney. Thank you for everything you to do. And keep
up the great work. Well, let's give us some karma for that poor
guy. He's got he has to defend. You've got
karma. I think the here's an appropriate way to defend this.
I think you should say yes, my client would like to die. But it
has to be a guillotine on on live TV.
And whenever when they do one of these murder trials, you can go
yes. My client pleads guilty with an explanation.
Yeah, then you would like to be killed publicly with a
guillotine. And that's how there was big parties back in
the day. The Oh, yeah. Everyone. Parties in the Old West. Yeah.
Oh,
big time. Yeah. All fantastic.
And we the two of us both believed this would be a hot TV
show reality TV.
Wow. Would it be be would be fantastic. Yeah.
Go to somebody like Burnett, it's got already got too much
money.
And then yeah, now he would just screw it. I mean, we would do it
right. I don't see why we shouldn't do it.
I mean, we see all kinds of killing on television. Why? Why
would they be ashamed of this? It makes no sense. We do we kill
people a Texas man, we kill people. And we're killing it on
this show. I would like to remind people that we do have
another show coming up. On Thursday, they go to
dvorak.org/na and continue your support. We appreciate it too.
No. And
and these are the executive producer and Associate Executive
producer credits. That's why they are earlier in the program.
But these are the people that they get the credits you know,
it's like the titles that you see on every single Hollywood
show. And these credits are accepted wherever they're valid
wherever they're accepted. Of course, unlike the douchebags in
Hollywood, we will actually vouch for you if you need that.
devora.org/n A Alright, just like our two producers there we
need you to go out there and propagate our formula. Our
formula
is this. We go out we hit people in the mouth
shut us
have a little side bit here. I want to just discuss for a
second. Okay. Play the clip. I don't have the beginning of
this. But I have this woman I think she's Elvira King and
nephew of Martin Luther King and they're talking about the
churches and was I'm Dana that one of the shows on the blaze.
And it's all of a sudden it triggered a thought.
Can I I just want to say view it's not very healthy for you to
be watching the blaze. Wow.
Yeah, no, it's not. I don't like watching it. Play it's forget
and I especially with the prayer meeting. It's really totally
annoying. It has Ferguson with Elmira. Yeah,
I guess that 99% of the arrests were people who some of them
weren't even from the state of Missouri and they definitely
weren't even from Ferguson. And then the next day, there was the
Christian fraternity that came out. Nobody and they did not
send a press release. They didn't sit nobody knew they were
out there. People just happened to be out and about taking
photos of these young men cleaning up the neighborhood and
young families came out and I thought, you know, it's like
after there's a horrific wildfire. And then you look
we're at the dinner table and we discuss and Eric is kid keeps up
with a lot of this stuff, Eric to shill, and he's mentioned the
same thing that we've mentioned before, which is the guy was
shot in his car trying to get his registration shot in the
head by a cop, that 12 year old kid with his BB gun shot and
none of this gets any attention except Ferguson. So I'm thinking
now that maybe it's Ferguson, not anything else. That is this
is nexus for some reason. You know that the Keystone pipeline
runs right under this? You're kidding
me.
I was thinking about looking at those of the offshoot of the
Keystone pipeline runs right through St. Louis and Nick's
Ferguson. And I'm thinking when I'm looking at all the rioting
and all the stuff that goes on there, why is it just that one
block that was burned to the ground? There was no why is it
well, how widespread was his writing? It seemed to be focused
in one part of the area, and they burn everything to the
ground. I'm thinking either real estate scams.
Yeah, you're right. Oh, we
gotta get some right aways. We got Al Sharpton coming in. They
bring all these punks in and now they distract us. They decide
that Okay, now we've got that out of the way. We got the
Ferguson thing taken care. Of course, the Keystone pipelines
got something to do with it, because it's too too much of a
coincidence. So we ended up with this clip, which is the
stupidest thing and is a complete distraction, almost as
though professionally done. Because all the signs and all
the areas especially in New York City, we're all done by some one
company. Hands up, don't shop. Are you kidding me?
The report comes just days after the grand jury decision not to
indict a Ferguson, Missouri Police officer and the shooting
death of an unarmed black teen Michael Brown. The decision is
still sparking nationwide protests, many targeted at Black
Friday shoppers. In New York, protesters gathered at the
iconic Herald Square Macy's, some protesters were arrested
accused of blocking the entrance to the store. And Seattle,
protesters blocked shoppers at malls in the downtown area. Some
stores were forced to close early one person was arrested.
Five others were arrested at another protests in Seattle. And
this disruption in Oakland involve trains protesters
blocked both entrances to the local transit system and the
trains themselves. Service was halted for hours. 14 people were
arrested there.
And that wasn't professionally organized, was it?
I'm I'm reading up on the pipeline going through Ferguson.
Good. Wow. And how did Eric come into this knowledge?
He didn't come to what I did was when he was complaining about
the same thing that JC was complaining about. I kept
thinking What about all these other the number of people here
Eric had the one there's so many people shot in Chicago since the
Ferguson shooting. It's ridiculous All Blacks, by the
families and by blacks, and the police and everything. And
nobody cares about any of this. So it's it's not about the
shooting. It's about Ferguson, we finally die off. We'll do
what's special about Ferguson. And so then I see this one pipe
the one of the pieces of the Keystone pipeline runs right
through. So it's kind of like we're in the St. Louis area. And
it appears, although when you tried to research the exact
place where this pipeline runs, even though it's it's in or near
Ferguson, you there's all kinds of obfuscations, if you look up
pipeline route, you'll find freedom of information acts that
have been refused. There's a whole series of documents that
won't tell you where this thing runs, because there's real
estate involved here. There's money to be made about knowing
this where this stuff where this thing's going where it's coming
from. Wow, it the only explanation. That's why Ferguson
is a big deal. And now they're trying to distract us with hands
up don't shop. Well. And Sharpton is part of this. He's
got some some going on. I'd love to get some documents of what
these guys own.
You've gotta be going down the rabbit hole here, man.
I'll do it later. Holy
crap. Good one. Thank you. So it's about Ferguson. Wow. But
hey, they didn't kill the kid just to get this started, I
presume?
No, I don't think so. I saw it. I think it's opportunism.
Right. You could you could if you wanted to, because there's
other
kids being killed constantly. This was opportunism and maybe
they did kill him to get this started with all the phony or
the gig. Cops stood over him and shot Hey,
hey, get off my beat.
I'm the crackpot. Yeah, well, second half of the show,
but it could happen anyway. I came back to this, the officers
noticed that the subject was wearing some type of vest. At
that point, being the fact that we were dealing with possible
improvised explosive devices. They backed away from the from
the suspect. And at this point, we formed a perimeter. And we
are working through that process right now. Our bomb squad is on
scene. And they're telling you guess where this happened? No
and to ascertain the nature of the potential explosive devices
that if we're going to any actions will be needed to render
them safe. At this point, we believe that the the suspect is
deceased but given the this is Austin,
downtown Austin.
Oh right. Yeah, Austin's got some action. Yes,
Mexican guy got all crazy about the immigration or something. Of
and Uh, D went to downtown two in the morning with some kind of
vest. That was probably, you know, a vest. You can hear the
cargo. Crap, man, there was a sweater. Then at her hands It
killed him. So you won't hear about that. And guess what?
white cops probably killed the Mexican guy. Be another.
You could turn that do something if you wanted to
hear oh, I got something here on the tumbler. Let's see. This is
John, you really made me crazy with that. Okay, it stopped me
from researching burgers. Yeah, if I ask get on to some metal
whenever you get a pipeline, maybe drive me nuts. pipelines?
Don't you have a jingle for that?
Yeah, we do. Hey, Hegel, a little bit of research into
Hegel, Secretary of Defense of the United States who got kicked
out. Do you sense I think the reason why I started looking at
is because you said you thought it was Valerie Jarrett that
kicked them out. No. Susan Rice. I think you said Jared, you
meant Susan Rice. Yeah, but you said Jarrett. It's easy to
confuse.
I believe that she is probably really the power of there that
would give the Go ahead. Possibly. I don't think Susan
Rice is anything more than the torque that she is. You know,
just a little raw. Mee Mee Mee Mee Mee Mee kind of a
person. This is very interesting, because Hegel, the
Secretary of Defense, that is the that is the main head
honcho, who was really coordinating the creation, sales
export of our military industrial complex. So he was
kicked out. And the reason why is this memo that he sent to
Susan Rice, this memo, okay, did you know about the memo?
I don't I don't think maybe I do. I don't recall it. And so we
don't have
it. Of course, foi requests have gone out. But apparently, he
wrote a blunt assessment of US policy in the region, Middle
East, probably was critical of her. Yes, expressing concern
about overall serious strategy. His memo conveyed to miss rice,
the US needs to, quote have a sharper view of what to do about
the Assad regime. Combined with continued resistance to ISIL, on
the ground indicators, all these strikes have slowed down. So his
memo was pretty much Oh, I don't think it's a good idea that you
want to go into, you know, how do you want to do this, I think
is really what he is saying this guy's operation. He never should
have been in the job in the first place. He's operational,
you know, the guys has been wounded in war three times. So
he knows war, but he doesn't know Washington. Now. What is
interesting is who's going to fill that spot? And I find this
to be find it curious. That Hagel was let go to pursue
outside interests to pursue interests outside the country.
Without without a replacement. I love the idea. Mr. Curry has is
leaving the company to pursue outside interests.
Well, I guess he maybe doesn't have a family you can spend more
time with which is usually what they do. Right.
And so there was no direct follow up appointee. But we had
we did have an appointee. And this is Michele Flournoy, Flora
noi
F. We played this clip right about how she immediately didn't
want the job because she didn't want to get caught in the
crosshairs.
Now she is the founder, CEO of another group, we got to take a
look at John you will want to go to this website, the Center for
a New American Security because and that is see a Charlie
November alpha sierra.org. And you will want to go to the
People section. Now on Dec. Four, four possible Secretary of
Defense is General John R. Allen, who is known has been
named by the president as the ISIS czar
he's the guy having the affair the affair with a chick by
Hastings or something that got
well it was all it was all connected to Petraeus right
portray a scandal and Ray is out right and he had that that
mistress mistress down in Florida. Now look at this. You
know why they I think
they finally had to get rid of Patris because no matter what
they did, they couldn't get him through the metal scanner
without it going off.
Okay, let's look at who this is. This is the group to watch. They
call themselves quote an independent non board of
directors. Directors but if you go to the People page you got
everything board of directors is fine board of directors. So but
there's Alan Armitage Armitage? Yeah, we've got there's Michelle
Florin Wow,
as Daniel Fick from end game, Inc. Yes, Lauren noise she's the
CEO we got
Danzig from the RAND Corporation and look Lieberman now I'm going
to call it
Lieberman right? How's he doing there?
He's the war guy. This is the war
is the John McCain representative on
the let me tell you put it in the book, Lieberman for
Secretary of Defense put that in the book babies remember and
remember, I'm from the future.
This is a good call. I'll give you like a 10 point. I'll give
you a ding for that one. So Lieberman's great call.
She's the perfect guy. Yeah, and whoever is going to be second
second, but he's told SecDef as we say, who was going to be
SecDef let's do Washington speak. It has to be someone
who's pre approved by McCain otherwise we'll never get
through confirmation of and Macare you can't have the
ability like again kudos on that. What buddies
Yeah, they're told but but that in that crazy woman from Kelly a
hole or whatever name is a note. You know, a hold. Yeah.
Let's look with the board of advisors. We got the guy from
Florida, Mitch
Wimmer from Goldman Sachs. Oh, yeah. Peter Schwartz from
Salesforce. Wow.
Look at the board of advisors, Ford Motor Company, Harvard
University, Duke University. Center for Strategic and
International Studies, of course, and now the RAND
Corporation, Harvard. Boeing.
Princeton, New Morgan Chase.
Yeah. Everybody's there.
Princeton Kennedy School. Of course, the Board of Advisors is
bullet crapped in your head, that that is a drinking club.
It's important to have Boeing on board and everything so that
they can yeah, as
you get to put their names up there. And, and the emeritus
people that used to be there, Madeleine Albright number one,
William J. Perry from Stanford.
Yeah, so this is the war. Let me read their their little thing
here against century for New American Security, which is
pretty much Project for a New American Century is just reverse
an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that
develop strong pragmatic and principled national security and
defense policies. So they develop the policies, and they
develop the policy, that Hagel had to go because he was not on
board with the entire program of taking over Syria, rebels in the
Middle East, screwing Putin, you know, ramping up NATO, whatever
it was, he just did not do it. Right. And when I saw Lieberman
on this, I'm like, that's the guy. And the only other I mean,
I don't think it'd be Alan, that won't be that guy
to now now. Too much just too too hard to do. I think I think
your thing with McCain because Lieberman's McCain's guy, he's
and he'll, yeah, he became will want him unless Lieberman
doesn't want to do it. But Lieberman? egomaniac. He'd love
to do it. Are you kidding me? Yeah, no, it's
um, it'd be, hey, it'd be good for the show. Lots of skyrizi
quotes from that moron. Oh, by the way, I got a link in the
show notes to the McCain twitter feed with the actual photo on
his own Twitter feed of Baghdadi. So I don't think that
would be a doctored photo. Yeah. Oh, look at that. Yeah, it's in
the show notes.
I'm looking at the publication's of this operation there. They
have to be dynamite. Oh, yeah. I mean, April, they did
opportunities for American influence in the changing Middle
East. With Leon Panetta fellow, Dr. Daphna Hockman. Rand is
viewed as as US influencing the Middle East and considers
whether US efforts have moved the decision making of MENA
leaders in a direction more favorable to US interests. Yeah,
this is the right group, this disguiser
it's a beautiful outfit. This is a
what was interesting, if you go back to the list of
publications, again, to the one that is more the newest, they
have a policy for de escalating. How this ends this is November
6, that blueprint for de escalation in Syria, how to hell
to get out of there. Deputy Director of Studies in Leon
Panetta fellow Dr. Dafina H. Rand again, research associate
Nicholas Harris argue for the importance of focusing on an
political framework for de escalating the civil conflict in
Syria. That would be worth a read
it offers that offers a number of principles and practical
steps that will build on us train and assist efforts with
the moderate Syrian opposition fighters Okay, we are doing this
and effort to integrate a political strategy are we
already doing this?
Well probably is just I don't know it's probably just confirms
a few things but the one that's even more interesting is the
latest one autonomous weapon systems at the United Nations at
the United Nations
and here's a strategy for defeating the Islamic State
Okay, we gotta read thanks malware
on this page. Oh really? According to the Avast web
shield is blocked the harmful web page which is on the I
wouldn't be surprised if check check
check it what is it to do look at the thing what does it say?
It says the infection is up there and goes just went off it
did blocked it whatever it was, but some something called Mal
and some piece of code that they didn't like it's probably just a
tracker. Let me see if I can reset and see what it does
I have my tracker off I can do it See nasa.org And do it on
this other machine where I have the didn't come up I like
Ghostery
no groceries interesting. It just shows you everything that's
that's hooked up to it but it doesn't necessarily show you
malware.
Let me see what goes through find. No Facebook Google Ad this
nothing else. Oh, no malware found. Okay. Well, okay, but
let's. Let's keep our eye on these douchebags.
Yeah, douche bag alert.
Big douche bags. Oh, I have something that I clipped for you
just a Erkki. You.
Really? Did I get it? First. Okay. This is just a random
clip. It's got nothing to do with anything it said. I think
it may have some of the there's a you're gonna hear a woman
who's in her 50s making this sound. This is a race finishing
clip with a woman making a sound. She's in her 50s For
most of the people in this clear Waterfoot race. The victory
isn't so much in the winning as it is in the finishing.
Yeah, now she is a definite candidate to be voted off the
island. When the time comes.
It's just like, Why do you make that sound?
Yeah, it's a women. So the women have been programmed and doing
only recent when I was a kid that son didn't exist. No, no,
no, no, no.
They had other things. Alright, this is a report from I think
was NPR and I don't think they realize the the irony of their
report. This is millennials in medicine. Now maybe was just
reiterate briefly a what a millennial is, which is kind of
an A an age group wasn't born after 89 I think?
No, it was I think is 85. I thought really? Yeah.
And the millennials are self entitled, you know, there's
there's a lot of problem not all. No, not by a longshot, not
all but in general as a group, but like we talked about the
baby boomers or Gen Xers. Yeah,
the millennials are also hipsters. Yeah. So this
is a report was a rather long report. Looking at it, and I
think it's very, very troubling as to how they were following
their medical education that is set up by those my backyard
here, University of Texas, and what their view is of practicing
medicine. And I think we can say, you and I can agree that
today's health care providers as they're known, and that is what
doctors are called by the insurance companies, health care
providers, they are pretty much going to just follow the rules
and hand out the medication. And what I didn't clip in this
report is that pretty much no Millennials want to be a
specialist. They want to be general doctors, which really
falls under this category of medical and health care
providers. That's interesting. Yes, here is how our subject I
think her name is something ho funny enough. How she is
studying to become a doctor,
the next generation of doctors. The University of Texas
Southwestern class of 2014 is celebrating graduation class
vice president Amy Ho has shed her scrubs for heels into black
dress. She says with modern technology, med school really
wasn't that hard.
If you want to do the entire thing by video stream which I
decided to do you can so I'd wake up at 10 work out for you
know an hour or so get some lines and then video stream for
like six hours and then go out to a happy hour like well
actually was not that bad. That's gonna be new
Dr. John
I feel the
feeling bad already.
That's terrible. That's terrible. That's a depressing
clip.
It gets better. But of course, the millennials have grown up
with the Internet. And they have new means and ways to research
their medical
cases millennial doctors want offices that our high tech, many
have never worked with paper charts. And they don't read
dusty medical journals. They look at them online,
we absolutely consult Wikipedia not the library to find the most
up to date medical research.
They consult with the Wikipedia
for the most up to date medical research. Is that the most
frightening? No, that comes right after I'm from the
government, I'm here to help. We absolutely consult wiki pedia to
get the most up to date information on medical research.
Okay,
this is just a joke that you're playing No. Onion. You got an
onion?
You got suckered? Nope, nope. If a 10 minute piece. Now this is a
final piece, which is
I think on NPR, you say? Yes.
This is very troubling this. The so part of the millennial
generation, if you look at the the generalization of the
millennials is they all want to share the burden work together.
It's a Sharing Economy. Economy as the sharing economy, let us
share patience. But we can hand it off and share patients which
is really, if you've ever been sick, or you know, Mickey with a
thyroid, you know, that's a good example. When you're when you
have a whole bunch of people involved, everyone has an
opinion and they don't communicate and it's it's not
necessarily a good thing. In fact, I'll give it my analogy.
If I'm flying a helicopter, I want to know exactly whose hands
have been on it. And it better not be more than one pair of
hands with an assistant pair of hands. You got six guys working
on a helicopter, I'm not going to fly it
sharing patients working less. The hope is that physicians
won't burn out as fast. But some baby boomer doctors say
practicing medicine with this kind of sharing economy approach
could be bad for patients health
if you are having too many handoffs of care between one
physician and another physician and another physician which you
can easily have with shift based work it's almost like the game
that you played when you were a kid that you whisper a sentence
going around a circle and see how screwed up it gets by the
end of the game. It's like that only way more dangerous
yeah
yeah, I told you that you know the old story of the nurses they
ended on the swing on the graveyard shift like that up the
oxygen on everybody's nobody croak stars don't die every now
and then they turn it down when the next one the next one that
morning shift comes in
this is just a little more upsetting to me because it's you
know, it truly shows that this is where it's headed. Yeah,
yeah, exactly. Medicine is it's just it's going to be another
you know, like an Uber driver
ended up being taken over by the Chinese who will come over here
in droves because these these these are idiots you're you
played a clip of noodle boy as a doctor.
He's that noodle girl noodle girl whose name is HoH
oh what's a Wikipedia I watched your videos for six hours I work
out I have lunch then we have happy
hour we get get plastered nice nice work if you can get it No,
that's where it's headed.
That's a good one. It's almost Clip of the Day but no little
too depressing. I got one here that just just just came to me.
I was driving around because I drove from the Port Angeles to
the Seattle SeaTac Airport. They have a rental car. Yeah. He had
an FJ crazy looking Toyota. Anyway. And I this came to mind
and I have the clip here because I think this clip clip triggered
a thought thing because I'm going to ask you a question
afterwards. It's not as scattered as the question. Lay
the hostages in ransoms clip. This is a clip that is about the
known fact that the American government will not put paid pay
money to any terrorist kidnapping. And if you wanted to
pay your own money, they'll make you a felon and throw you in
jail
in the United States has set a heart rending but absolutely
necessary example.
Are you playing a carry clip
This does not carry it's just carry
by refusing to pay ransom for captured Americans. And all of
the evidence shows that where and if a country is paid a
ransom, there are many more people who are taken hostage.
According to the UN Security Council's CounterTerrorism
Committee, an estimated $120 million in ransom was paid to
terrorist groups between 2004 and 2012, including between 35
and $45 million to ISIL. Republican Representative Duncan
Hunter is accused the Pentagon's Joint Special Operations Command
of leaving a botched effort to pay a ransom to gain the freedom
of Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who was held by the Connie
network and group designated a terrorist organization by the
US. Hunter in a letter to outgoing Defense Secretary Chuck
Hagel quoted sources as saying a payment was made to an Afghan
intermediary who disappeared with the money and failed to
negotiate burgles release. It's an allegation of pentagon.
I will tell you that
we said this before there was no
ransom offered. There was no ransom paid. But Kirby
acknowledge there is a gray area in US policy the Pentagon or CIA
will pay sources for information about the whereabouts and
condition of us captives
on occasion. To obtain information, sometimes in the
field, there are there are such exchanges that pallets
of money I tell you pallets of money, millions of dollars on
wooden pallets. That's
a fact.
In Britain the government is seeking to stop British
insurance companies from reimbursing families who paid
ransoms to free hostages held by terrorists. While the White
House says the review of its hostage policy will not change
its ban on ransoms, families of hostages what other changes?
I am so delighted that is being revisited. All I would ask is
that families be invited to the discussion.
Diane Foley mother of James Foley says while her son was
being held she faced a bewildering bureaucracy where no
one seemed to be accountable. There appeared to
be no one who could share any information with us or advocate
for Jim's situation. So it was a very lonely experience.
The White House says the review will focus on how the US
government manages itself in hostage situations and how the
many agents involved communicate with the families of the
victims, many of whom say they feel abandoned by their
government and left with agonizingly few options
well yeah because the this is all set up and it's all fake
then these abandoned by the government I think there are
supposed to be Bureau we're all we do whatever we can for
Americans. Okay, here's the question. So you know, now that
you have all the background, I've got all the background.
Bill Gates is kidnapped by a terrorist group. The world's
richest man Yes. Then what happens
Fuck him?
Sorry, sorry. Sorry, I'm sorry. Mr. Torres. I can't help it
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, yeah, question
answered. I mean, let's be honest, that's exactly what the
that's what they're saying. That's what the answer would be.
Yeah, but bull crap this is this is a lies. Yeah. And that State
Departments folks hold that guys to know that Defense Department
guy he's terrible. Oh, the Kirby Yeah. Kirby He's terrible. That
guy? Yeah, he's no good. Okay, that's a good point. Just making
a point.
Couple of things going on today. We have let me see do I have it
here? We have over in first we have a Moldova referendum today
voting to see if they want to be if they want to align themselves
with the EU or with Russia. So that could be interesting.
Moldova has kind of a crappy I don't think there's much going
on but this is
a hellhole.
I don't know if we have any listeners from Moldova.
I doubt it would be nice if we did. I don't think they have
radios kit some blitz on the internet. Let's see what we got
Switzerland.
Is voting today landlocked between
Romania and the EU. Okay. It's because the Ukraine being that's
part of it. Yeah. It only has has 3.5 million Switzerland
votes today about whether they should beef up their gold and
have 20%. Maybe you have a clip of this. I don't think I had a
clip. Yeah. Yeah,
the save our Swiss gold initiative would require the
Swiss National Bank to a hold at least 20% of its assets in gold
within five years. The be banned from selling any of its gold
reserves and see take back all Swiss gold that's being held
overseas. supporters of the bill say give security and
independence in London. Certain times continued setif yah, yah,
another popular slogan is to protect the people's wealth.
Opponents of the bill which include the government say the
country wouldn't be able to exercise monetary policy freely
and the costs of buying 1500 tons of gold over the next five
years would be immense
but it's very noticeable that all countries now say Bannon is
gonna go back and make sure we have the gold that was the gold
that everyone but he wants to go back
to looking at this Moldova thing so the eve of the vote one pro
Russian party was banned from the poll the move criticized but
it was so we got our fingers in this deal.
Of course we do. Yeah, but look at the strategic location of
Moldova Yeah, it's
right there right there where you want us or we want to be
certain they got these new nesting dolls, you know, those
babushka things those dolls Darling Darling, darling dog
dawned on them and they go they get the one with the outside
person is Obama. That should be the case if is done right. A
little bit. He Torpy one at the very
Obama Jarrett Michelle twerp at the bottom, I'll be great.
Yeah, no, I'd have to be we'd be Obama didn't receive what it
would be. That's that wastes a lot of time but Biden would be
number two? No, no,
no. Jared is number two police Jarrett as Jared that Michelle
calls to the true powers.
Okay, Jared, and Michelle and then Michelle's Mom. Mother in
law who lives in the White House. And then then Biden about
it Biden then after that,
then Biden has no power man then you go to rice you go to power?
No, no,
you gotta have the secretary of something or other carry. Okay
carry
but he won't fit with a head. Hard Carry
half a hit have been hit just
just the head not the whole body because we can't fit it in just
his head.
And then what do you got after that? We have 12345 If you do a
six nest or you could probably do you could do Susan Rice has a
little you had a little bitty one has to be Susan Rice that
someone's gonna be funny. Oh, power says Samantha Power.
Samantha Power. All right. Yeah.
Can I move on? Yeah, I'm sorry, to the pole. I'm just giving
this idea out there, public domain so you can make these
dolls and I'll buy one.
Now, as you know, I am being from the future. And I predict I
correctly predicted who the Pope would be. Pope Francis is
something you'd like to mention. Well, it was it was one of my
finer moments. It was great. So I follow the Pope on Twitter,
but also just follow what he's doing. And he was in Europe,
what is he doing? Well,
he said some interesting things. He had to address the European
Parliament. I was in Strasburg, which is kind of the chic you
know, when you go to Brussels that's for commoners. He alluded
to a general I have no audio of course he speaks in, does he
speak Italian or Latin? When
they speak? No, he didn't. Nobody SPEAKS LATIN.
He alluded to a general impression of quote, aging and
weariness in Europe, and that a new spirit should be built where
humans are treated not as programmable objects. In here it
is in many quarters, we encounter a general impression
of weirdness and aging of a Europe which is now a
grandmother no longer fertile and vibrant, which means barren.
As a result, the great ideas which once inspired Europe seem
to have lost their attraction only can be replaced by the
bureaucratic technicalities of its institutions. This is the
pope saying this.
Yeah. Anyways, is he pointing the finger at the at the EU
guess is that European Union that's causing this?
And I will tell you that when you look to the here's some
analysis on this, I like the the Baron grandmother, I want to
find out what does he mean with that? And I checked out a
population growth of none of these countries in Europe are
growing by natural birth. No another growing by immigration,
immigration. Exactly. Exactly. And Italy,
apparently is the worst of case. They're just dying that nobody
wants to have babies. They just don't want to get plastered. And
you
have this eugenics movement, eugenics eugenicist movements to
point seems redundant. Well, this is why this is why it's so
interesting that people have this is so important to them.
Someone else said to me the other day well, maybe we just
have less humans. Why should we start killing them now be
faster? Why wait
fastest ways through war and pestilence and famine? Why shoot
them just go for it exactly. Why wait knock your way back.
There was an interesting just to kind of cross over into
eugenics. So of course we still I'm still tracking the Britney
suicide cell Self. What did he call it? Right suicide. Self and
there's a word for it.
I forgotten it suicide.
It wasn't suicide. What was it? That was the girl who took the
meds to kill herself earlier so that the insurance company
didn't have to deal with her. Which is
part of Yeah, right. Euthanasia. Euthanasia.
Thank you. That's the word euthanasia.
Yeah, save. There's that way it saves the insurance company's
money and saves hospitals have a bed.
So who do you think so? If you look at who was what states
allow this, then this is remember, this is what they were
pushing through. And it was the, the big healthcare insurer,
Kaiser Kaiser, who was propagating this because they're
the ones that want this law, because it will save them money.
But this is just the fallacy.
Nobody talks about our show the sickness
of this, this fucking sickness of these of these companies. And
but who wants to do this? And they don't give a crap six
months? Early, Greg is good for us. Good deal. So MSNBC is all
on board, we've got to find someone to blame. Who do we
blame for people not wanting this obvious, obvious smart law?
Which I'd like to see Republicans.
And it's interesting to me looking at the map of the states
that approved there's only five approve it in the level that
Oregon does. It's an interesting cluster in the Northwest, where
this has this notion has taken hold. And it seems to me when
you stare at that map, you know, California really, with the
momentum coming out of Britain is so visible choice, that there
really shouldn't be some movement on this in California,
you have a very strong Catholic base. Here in California, it's a
very high Latino population. And they seem to go with Catholic
religion. And they said,
Oh, these crazy Latinos, they seem to go Catholic. I don't
know why.
Because they don't like I don't know, killing themselves.
Galatian
and they seem to go with Catholic religion. And, as I'm
sure you know, the Vatican has, has disapproved of what Britney
did and has called it reprehensible which is that is a
crime in my opinion. Because until you've experienced and
been in a room with a loved one that is enduring, just
unbearable pain. It is the only humane thing to do is to let
them choose if that's what they want to go to sleep peacefully.
There you go. They will not stop California, you're on deck. It's
your turn. California is a
way out of nowhere. Luckily the Hispanic population which is
Catholic by some weird coincidence wonder why?
My phone the way I see it, the only good phones a landline, and
the phone should be made out of Bakelite.
Hey, it's time for tech moves. Everybody here with tech news.
Which is everything except phone news dwells. That's not always
true. Adam, don't tell me you've got phone. Is there a new phone?
Do we have something about phones? Yes. Tech News. Play it
right here because Apple has hiked prices for its iPhones,
its iPads, and its computers on its Russian online store in
response to the falling ruble. Average prices for Apple
products have now gone up on average some 25% better response
Samsung has decided to lower the prices of its flagship
smartphones.
Yeah, right from Russia. Perfect. News.
The thing I want to just touch on briefly, actually two things.
Just because it's not really tech news. But this first look
media. PR drama car. How many are? Yeah. Did
you read that piece?
I sent it to you.
All right. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You did. Yeah. It was a great
piece. It was written by this guy who writes for the Baffler
or one of these offbeat magazines. And he was just
indictment of the whole operation. That yeah,
who wrote it here? I have it here.
It's from Oh, mudhar is like, you know, to Silicon Valley
geek. He's just like, expects people to have a lot of
meetings. But can you imagine he made people like Matt Taibbi and
whenever they had their stand up meetings, all hands meetings,
silicone bullet crap. All right, all hands. Spin Silicon Valley
speak garbage
total. What a I don't want to gloat but we totally call this
what from day one? The where's that? Where's the do ship the
professor He's probably still Rosen yeah J row isn't it? Yeah
he was I don't know if he's a douche but
he was these an advisor
total douche Are you kidding me?
He's a douche these all he's an advisor. Where is he now? It'd
be I'm sure he's still taking a check. So pathetic. Apparently
Greenwald and often drive my car. I've never even met a
person.
That's funny. I didn't get any notice that was in there. Yeah.
I could just see. But guys like med type, we aren't going to put
up with this kind of bureaucracy and they want to turn them into
managers or something. The whole thing was a joke. But you know,
they need he still has time to fix this. He can hire me. What?
Yeah, you can hire me. And we can turn this around in a
minute. No.
Whoa. Whatever happened to hiring the correct curry Devorah
Consulting Group, but since when did you go solo?
In terms of print? Okay, I'll make it part of the Well, I'll
tell you what, they're not print it out. Okay. I didn't know
that. They printing
paper. Well, are they are they typesetting?
Alright, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll offer it. I'll write a
proposal up. I'm sorry. I feel a little Shut up. You know what,
fine. No, go ahead. No. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. You
go ahead and just joking. Anyway, I'm not going to talk to
that guy.
Brian. The gay Crusader is on deck.
I know that was the real answer this situation. I knew that was
gonna happen. And that was that was what you were thinking all
along.
On my phone.
I'm gonna show my school but Jonah did no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
We do some people have thanked for show 674 as we move ahead
towards show 700 Wow. 700 shows us a lot. Yeah. 700 of anything.
Seven hundreds of lies. A lot of shows. 700 bitches.
Nikolai Bulba. In celebrate wow.
Oh, Celebration, Florida, the Disney village. Yeah. Wow. I
don't know anyone from there.
I've been there a couple times. Usually to take people there to
show him the show. Don't call it to show him the cult, right. I
was thinking about this the other day, I would move there.
Especially they get good internet connectivity better
than Comcast. And I could probably do a fine show from
celebration. And it's a very relaxing place. And they and
they have gardeners and they keep their lawns up and the

Meeting adjourned. Right? I have a little thing that has been
bothering me just like the Ferguson thing. It's just eating
at me. And I did. I got these clips from like a couple of
clips here. They explained it all. Here's a lot of B roll out
there, which is the other stuff that uses stock footage. And
when they talk about the pollution in China, I look at a
lot of this B roll and I was an air pollution inspector and I
know what pollution looks like and I'm familiar with the London
death fog of 1950 something or other 55 I think a bunch of
people died is a certain look to it. And I've always thought the
look was a little off. I didn't like I just
want to reestablish I want to re establish if you are trained,
educated and have practice the scientific role of air quality
inspection. Yes. Thank you just wondering
so I've always bothered by this and then all of a sudden
realization takes place at this B roll I'm sure as all coming
from this phenomenon. Play the clip sand a storm opener,
Beijing was struck by its worst Sandstorm in four years. The
whole city was enveloped in dust, losing visibility to less
than a kilometer. The sandstorm originated in Inner Mongolia and
swept southward as far as southeastern China. Beyond the
Yangtze River 21 provinces and regions were seriously affected.
Even Hong Kong in the far south recorded an air pollution index
well above normal. The past 50 years the regular sandstorms
have harmed people, in particular, causing numerous
cases of respiratory disease. They've also given rise to the
widespread disruption of transport. In the battle against
sandstorms, the Beijing Municipal Government has planted
trees, carpeted the ground with lawns, and built protection
belts. Yet none of these efforts has completely prevented the
occurrence of abnormal weather phenomena.
abnormal weather front I'm like sandstorms.
Now let's play this is the one where the one of the worst
sandstorms ever happened which I think most of the B roll comes
from is the march 2020 10 clip which actually has some the
amount of sand that was dropped on the city and I realized that
when I finally saw these clips and saw the same B roll I've
been seeing as air pollution that just because of whatever
reason you know the industrialization all the rest I
realized that I had been in a sandstorm i was in Israel once
and there was a genuine massive Sandstorm and it looks just like
this it's creates a kind of a brown fog that's it's very
strange thing to be in a sandstorm but play this clip and
and then we can end this, this whole thing and realize that we
American public has never had been told any of this bull
crabs,
disease, population explosion, traffic jams, power shortages,
and environmental pollution. Batching has suffered the most
with frequent occurrences of calamitous weather conditions in
the form of sandstorms from North Africa, Central Asia.
Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia the sandstone that began on March
20 2010, lasted for three days and dumped 300,000 tons of sand
on Beijing. The Air Quality Index plummeted and Beijing's 20
million people who suffered three days of misery
All right now you realize that we couldn't actually see any of
the video you're talking.
Well, I cut a lot of the noise that because it actually is a
long thing and they had loads of music and lots of clips. But the
you seen this when you saw the Olympics when you saw it? I have
been
in a sandstorm myself. Oh, nice in Kuwait. Okay, when we landed
with the plane in Kuwait, which helps if you're in a plane
enroute to Iraq for the 2000 434 whatever when I went there.
Yeah, we landed. And then we had to sit and wait for must have
been 45 minutes for the sandstorm to pass over the
airport. It was so we were in the middle of it. It was pretty
cool. It wasn't a huge it wasn't anything like this, but it's the
sandy alright.
Yeah, but it's more of it's such a fine powder. Yeah, that the
cover the engines that you Yeah, it's not like you know, when you
see a movie and they have a guy in a sandstorm it's like the
wind is blowing. If there's wind blowing, it usually blows the
sand someplace else. But it's like the wind blowing and sand
is ripping his skin and all the rest of like sand. It's not
sand. It's is it's extremely fine particulate, which is close
to the same size of smoke and so far as particles are concerned.
And it's just everywhere. And you can't see you know, more
than maybe three or four or five feet in front of you. So what is
the point? What are you trying to the point is that we've been
well, it's just something I said was eating at me because I kept
seeing this B roll. Oh, the terrible pollution in Beijing
because of the factories. factories, what factories,
they're making iPhones. There's no smoke coming from places. No.
I just think it were led down. You know, primrose path of bull
crap as usual. And they keep showing this B roll and he's got
a mask on. Yeah, you'd wear a mask. If you're going to be
outside in one of these stands, storms. And they apparently have
them all the time. Yeah, I've been to Beijing a number of
times. I've never been in one of these sandstorms but I now I can
imagine. Anyway, it's just it's always a little annoyance that I
had to get out of the
way. I'd like to go to Beijing. That'd be nice. I'd like to go
so many places. Beijing is great. Let me wrap this up as we
move towards our finalization of this program today to President
or presidential proclamations I wanted to mention briefly, oh,
well, tomorrow, December 1 is World AIDS Day. This is a well
known fact a bit funny. I I didn't clip it but I saw Chevron
with a with an AIDS commercial for Chevron Nigeria. Okay. Also
by presidential proclamation, it seems that December belongs to
only one proclamation the whole month. You know, we have months
that have 678 Different proclamations that the month
belongs to. Ah, December is national impaired driving
Prevention Month.
Yeah, holiday season drunks.
All Americans deserve to live long and full lives, and every
child should have the chance to seize his or her future. But
throughout our nation, too many lives are tragically cut short
in traffic crashes involving drunk drugged or distracted
driving. Well, it shouldn't be all of them. This is just Oh
impaired. Yeah, you can be impaired by just being
distracted. Right? This is the finally this is actually
something that we should be working on. The more people more
people are killed by traffic accidents than anything else.
40,000
a
year. That's
accidents. Car accidents. This
country. Yeah.
Well, I have one last clip. Oh, um, I
was I was gonna I was gonna do too. All right, go here. Do you
want me do the last one? Well, it's just this little SHORTY
Shorty. Shorty. This is the turkey. I just thought this is a
good clip. Turkey calories clip. Get people if you
are feeling rather stumped right now there's a good reason you
may have consumed get ready. More than 4000 calories today. I
know it's a big number. Research from the calorie control Council
suggests a traditional Thanksgiving meal is loaded with
3000 calories and the average person will add on 1500 or more
for snacking and nibbling. It is all the equivalent of eating
three sticks of butter.
Why? Why? Why are you putting this poop on me?
Three sticks of butter. So good. Resist the clip with that punch
line. That's what you did for Thanksgiving. You ate three
sticks of butter.
Well, not me because I was all by myself. By the time we were
done with the show on Thursday it was and by the time was done
posting it and everything uploading was 1130 and I had a
swarm I had the swarm a place, then went to bed. Oh, that's
sad. Yeah, no Turkey no love no nothing. All right, here we go.
David Cook, Papa Oscar Oscar kilo. According to achieve the
corp.org David Cooke completed his undergraduate work at Penn
with honors. His studies include the field of cognitive science
and art history leading to a Master's and PhD in philosophy.
Now, as an educational consultant, he worked very
closely with the Council of Chief State officers in drafting
the Common Core standards for the English language arts, and
has several projects underway with the Student Achievement
Partners on work aligned with the Common Core State Standards
and C on his own and in partnership with consulting
organizations like achieve the Aspen Institute and Edie first
all nonprofit NGOs. He has helped evaluate and design
English and History standards, curriculum and courses for
numerous states districts and charter schools. With achieved
David helped design the P A RCC and on what that is model
content frameworks provide analysis regarding their college
readiness, blah, blah, blah. So we usually talk about math when
it comes to Common Core, because that is it's easy to poke
ridicule. Yeah, right. It's easy to ridicule. Exactly. It's easy
to ridicule. Without David was at an event, but he was on a
panel. Let me see where it was this Granite State College in
Manchester, New Hampshire. The He is the chair of the history
department there. And they were talking about the Common Core
standards. What do you believe? And I hope that this clip is
like a little bit of wild audio, because it's from, you know,
like a kind of a in a, in a classroom where there on the day
is not great audio, but you'll be able to hear it. What do you
think his motivation was to participate and help create
common core standards? Oh, by the way, spoiler, he really
supports the Common Core standards for this for English
and for history. And I thought it was just a different way of
learning. But that's not at all what his motive, what do you
think his motivation is why
and dies? The public? So they're good little workers? No. That'd
be my guess.
I was very surprised. But you have to know in advance, I'll
tell you, okay, that the Common Core State Standards by his, in
his words, and they'll come after his big reveal, are really
lowering the standards so more people can graduate? What Yeah,
listen to the clipping understand why every teacher
that's using
it, basically is saying this is inspiring a closer than more
engaged students to bodies for the people that are actually
using it. Like it. And again, in terms of the local control, you
still have local control. So if you want higher standards, if
that's really, if that is your genuine point, then you can go
ahead and do that you can do the higher standard was indeed
totally transparent. David and bill
paid to be here either.
This is him. No, that was that was the the leader of the group.
Then he said, Hey, if you if you want to implement higher
standards, that's fine by like,
what do you want to do that? And by the way, when you're done
with this clip, you might as well do it. Give yourself the
Clip of the Day because this is unbelievable.
Wait, wait until you hear what the book is about to say, Oh,
man. Okay, let's continue.
Just interesting teacher operating standards. The reason
why I helped write the standards, the reason why I am
here today, is that as a white male in society, given a lot of
privilege.
Did you hear what he said? I've been given a lot of privilege
that
I didn't do as a white male in society, white
male, I've been given a lot of privilege to the people in
Appalachia.
Well, some of the people in the audience gasp in horror. Then
said they're told to shut up, by the other hand, by his
privilege. Because of the privilege,
it's really important that all kids and equal opportunities
were covered. Say the damages as a result of who I was not a
choice of mine. And when I walk into places like Roberto
Clemente High School on the west side of Chicago, I think it's
really important that those kids learn how to read just as well
as I had the opportunity to read and create an equitable,
equitable education opportunity for all kids. And this is
actually the greatest lesson we can teach our kids.
Were two plus three
is approximately four.
Clip another last ditch Clip of the Day. Ah, it's time at the
end of the show. It's funny. Well, that's disgusting.
It's so wrong. So because of his white privilege, I guess he
lowered the standards.
Yeah, well, this is actually very condescending and
patronizing if you think about it. Yeah. So it says I'm a white
privilege genius. You can all you all you stupid people will
just lower the standards so you can actually pass and I'm doing
you all a favor. Yeah, it's bull crap. Sad, isn't it? Yeah. Jeb
Bush is huge, Common Core guy.
Oh, yeah. No, yeah, of course. gonna mention that because he
needed lower standards to do anything. He knows.
We need lower standards for another bush in the White House.
Do you want it was so disgusting. We just end and
yeah, absolutely.
That you can't beat that.
No, sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to butter
thing after that. But I think this is better. I think this is
much better than butter. Better than butter. What's better than
water? Better than butter? He said. Alright, I hopefully if I
won't be able to pick me some miss Mickey up at the airport.
Probably won't make it. She can take an Uber.
Good. Yeah, she can. She's coming in today.
Yeah, she was supposed to come in landscapes she was supposed
to come in last night. But the plane was delayed and delayed
and delayed legs. You wouldn't get into 330s. Screw it just
stay another night in LA. Which made her angry.
No, I would be angry to have to spend an extra yet to plan for
LA and kind of like, can't really put up with hanging out.
At least that's my experience.
All right. We will be back on Thursday. Remember us at
dvorak.org/na coming to you from FEMA Region six here in the
capital of the drone Star State in the morning, everybody. I'm
Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley, where I'm dodging
raindrops. I'm John C. Dvorak. We'll be back
Thursday right here. On no agenda
this legislation is important, the substances right? The time
is right. And the way in which it has been developed is right.
It is a properly considered thought through set of proposals
that will help to keep us safe at a time of very significant
danger. It has been drawn up in close consultation with the
police and security services. In an open and free society like
ours, we can never entirely eliminate the threat from
terrorism. But we must do everything possible consistent
with our values as a country to reduce the risk presented by our
enemies. It is a struggle that will go on for many years and
the threat we face right now is perhaps greater than it ever has
been. And we must have the powers we need powers means
powerless we need to defend ourselves.
Joe Biden, thank you for taking the time to listen.
