nation media assassination episode 683 This is no agenda.
No reruns or parades here just 100% Live from FEMA Region six
in the capital the drill Star State Austin take house in the
morning everybody I'm Adam curry and from
Northern Silicon Valley where it's one on 15 I'm John C.
Dvorak. Buzzkill. Happy New Year. Happy New Year to you
Happy New Year to all the listeners out there happy subs
in the water the feet in the air they game tonight so Happy
New Year Happy What did you do for nerve your New Year's
celebration? John
worked on the show.
Me too. Did you not go out at all I did
when I finished the sending the closing out the spreadsheet at
midnight I did run roughshod to the front of the house and
because I have a view of from here I can see the other side of
the bay I could watch the diminutive fireworks display in
San Francisco which is unusual boring. It was too cold to stay
outside it came back inside
it was it was freezing in Texas.
Oh yeah apparently there's gonna snow in Dallas. And they
canceled
most of the New Year's Eve celebrations here. Oh because
it's too cold well we had freezing rain which I think is
exactly what you want with fireworks personally.
But you do because otherwise a big cloud forms and you can't
act and firewall exactly
so I found myself I stick clean. I found myself at a a private to
Texas party which I think there's some things I knew she
left the house I did with an Uber
Well, that's the way to go. But it must have been a premium
on no there was no surge pricing. And
in fact, that surge so why would there be
well you'd expect there to be some kind of surge just because
people are going around using the service not wanting to drive
themselves for two reasons one because most people expected
freezing rain I don't think that happened until like five this
morning but I great dry
Where did you go where you went to some some event? Yes
I did. I went to a party at a house in the hills that let's
just say a mansion hills in the in the hills. Yes in the we have
hills here the Westlake Hills I have seen those hills hills. And
this was this is
usually preceded by kind of a square triangular sign
triangular sciences bump Yeah, all right. Austin Hill this
is the kind of mansion that has a paddock in the backyard with a
horse
paddock hepatic is they have a hell of a pad that's even more
important
on no hella pad although I have been asked if I would be
interested
to be interested in what
land landing a helicopter there. Oh, yeah. Whenever people know
you fly helicopters a ban has landed my backyard. Yeah, okay,
sure. So this this particular this particular party, a wealthy
Austin socialite and small party, small party a lot of
people from West Texas now if you're if you live in Texas,
then you know when somebody says people from West Texas were
there
or that makes it dog land this.
No, no, no.
Well, West Texans I know dragline lists all sound like
Ross Perot.
Now that would be incorrect. That's more North Texas because
he was Plano which is you know, Dallas. So no, not at all like
Ross Perot.
Okay, if Texas I'm sure I'm thinking East Texas. Yeah.
Duck Dynasty is what you're thinking now. Yeah, West Texas
is different. West Texas is we're actually the money is one
area where all the money is John. It's winegrowing two is
where all the money is. From
Texas where it's nice and dusty. There's lots of money.
Well, and why is there money? Because there's dust? No, no,
because all these people owned property that have leased the
rights for these fracking companies. So there are people
just who make a million dollars a month, a million a month just
in just relating some Derrick's on their land. However, however,
not so happy new year for these people. Right. Land rights have
not been executed. There's one guy is drilling pipe company. He
collects Teflon and the Teflon he then sells to a fracking pipe
company and the Lexx Teflon. Yeah, yeah. He has 30,000 pounds
a month or something I was trying to understand
out here Teflon bring out your Teflon.
Teflon wonder Where does one get excess Teflon?
Probably somewhere maybe a gasket company
orders cancelled postponed. So people are kind of freaking out
because of this oil price. Everyone's you know, the money
is just stopped,
and it will continue to stop. Yeah.
So there was it was the the mood was somewhat demure.
Oh, no, it wasn't very festive as what you're saying, well,
there were a lot of registered nurses for some reason at this
party,
just in case.
He's keeling over. You know, nurses are great. I love nurses.
I bet you do. Because you know, it's kind of like a flight
attendant. All you have to do is say, you know, you guys really
are the backbone of the pharmaceutical of the medical,
the healing industry, I think I said, and they love their faces
light up and like, yes, we get no props, like flight
attendants. If you say no, you are the people who will save us.
If we if we crash into the ocean. You will get us out on
time. So when you say this to a registered nurse, if they light
up, it's great. Yes, yeah, exactly. Oh, just a flatterer.
Yeah, I try. I really do try. Now. A couple, a couple others,
these registered nurses. I don't think they were all registered
nurses. But there was Texas Women. And this was just a
little different abilities of fireworks, they had their own
fireworks. That's a party, really expensive fireworks. But
what's cool about them is that they were kind of like, kind of
like you from you'd expect from a big firework display like a
Macy's or whatever. But these were rigged. So they exploded at
kind of the perfect height for residential. So it's your own
private little thing, but it was filled with big Starburst and
stuff like that. But they were lower. Yeah, much lower. Perfect
altitude. So you know, just kind of Oh, yeah. It's for our own
little own little thing there. So that was nice. That is very
nice. Within within electrical board, you know, the whole thing
was, that was nice.
Well, yeah. Some Pro was doing it. Sure.
It was actually kind of uh, yeah, actually, some dudes from
the party like, hey, we'll do that. Maybe that was arranged
before
maybe they were invited for that purpose.
You could be could be and Okay, so the women all brought food
and there was enough drink. There was crazy amounts of
alcohol and weed. Very to eat. Yeah.
We in Austin SHA Bucha. A big expected weed in Austin. Well,
there was a big like a hollow book you know one of those sir
Jimmy Harlow books. Yeah. Like oh, I picked the wrong time to
quit weed. This is good. No, the chin No, it's not Mead chat
room. The thing and mutton in me. No, no weed queen. Now so
the women all brought food. And this was one food. Yes. And this
is one of these places that had a huge kitchen with big you
know, multiple stoves and ovens and all professional looking
stuff. So there was some queso there. And I've you know, Texas
you can't kind of go anywhere without people whipping out the
Queso which is pretty much a melted cheese. And but cool,
man. This was like magic sauce from West Texas. And then came
the PS divisi stones.
The strippers? Oh, I
wish no. Although the registered nurses did tell me something
funny that every year at Halloween their friends who are
not nurses call them and say hey, do you have a nurse outfit?
Oh, leftover that I can use? Like they have some kind of
rack? A rack? Rack with the sexy one. They're all flabbergasted
by this. They can't understand what Who do you think we are?
But But But seriously, do you have one of those? Like, come
on? Now if you've heard of this, then you probably have I had
never heard of it. I'd certainly never eaten this. And it is more
i Luisi there were a couple of women from Louisiana originally.
So this is Louisiana cooking. By the way. If you say yeah, I've
been in New Orleans doesn't count as being ever having been
in Louisiana. Yeah, you gotta get out there. Yeah, this doubt
did not count. And if you've not heard of it, please don't
last in the bayou then you've been Louisiana. If you've
if you have not heard of this, then don't look it up because I
just want to walk you through it. turducken.
Oh God, everyone's heard of this. No, I
never heard of this. John
will see this because you don't. Well. It's been popular right
now. It's not it. It's been popularized, at least for the
last 15 I don't know maybe 20 years by NFL football, ex coach
announced are now retired is how long ago who used John Madden
who used to go on and on and on and on TV about his turducken
that he has every year.
Well, okay, so I'm sorry I'm behind the times. Let me ease
everybody into it. I can see from the chat room not everybody
knows what turducken is. turducken is an abbreviation for
Turkey duck chicken.
You can actually buy frozen turd duck in the local store here.
Yeah,
hold on a second. That is not how we do turducken.
You don't do turducken? No,
someone had the party brought the turducken. They had done the
turducken. They had created the turducken. Okay, so
yeah, fantastic. Now did did they do it? Right? Why
do you why do you why do you want? Why do you mock me?
Because it's, it's everywhere. This is old news. But was it
deep boned?
So you're saying that I'm just a stupid idiot.
I'm saying you know, you're annoyed. And so watch football.
This is the this is where you lose out.
This is where you're annoyed because I bring something up
that I didn't know about and you're going to scoff and Okay,
good. Well, you do that?
Well, okay, the question I have questions, was the third duck
and completely D boned?
Completely D boned? Yes.
So you could literally slice it.
In fact, I stood while the one of the women carve the whole
thing down in chunks. Yeah. So let me just explain. turducken
is a chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey.
What happens if the chickens bigger than the duck and then
you stuffed a beer can into the rectum of that whole
contraption. And then you you cook it.
The lawyers left out the main part. It's a bone that chickens
chicken is stuffed into a bone that duck stuffed into a bone
Turkey
and then it old bones and it congeals and then when you slice
it, it's kind of like a layer cake. But it's all it's you
know, it sticks together. Like you got a slice and there's a
slice of turkey, duck and chicken. And then here's the
only thing I want to know. So you and I are in Texas. And
we're sitting around one day, Jim and I got an idea. Why don't
we take this chicken? Well, that's an interesting point and
shove it up this duck's ass. And then we'll take that and we'll
shove it up this turkeys as and then we'll Hey, I got this beer
candle shove that up. The whole thing's as well cook it. It will
be good. That's
just to stabilize it. Okay, turducken on a Wikipedia who
came up? I'm looking for I'm looking for the Dr. Gerald
Carla. NASA a New Orleans surgeon was locally known for
his just as the guy Yeah, because he had his scalpel he
could do experts. But what this guy this guy at least took
credit for it this Louisiana so it's a Louisiana dish. make
sense to me. In the United Kingdom a turducken is a type of
balance hid chi a teen known as a three three bird roast or a
royal rose. Oh her meat company offered a five bird roast turkey
chicken pheasant pigeon. Is this something from old England
stuffed with sausage what this it sounds pretty decadent. Yeah,
let's go over this again. Goose Turkey chicken pheasant pigeon.
Sausage is that of Americana. Oh man. So no beer cans sausage
explain the stabilization part didn't quite understand what you
meant.
Well you want you think is gonna fall into a into a flat goo.
There's got to be propped up somehow. So you need something
in that in the middle, the empty middle right to keep the thing
so it looks like a bird in his 1807 Almanac of gore maze
gastronomica Greenwald Delray and Yeah, that guy presents his
ro T signs peralada rose without equal A bustard which is like a
turkey. A bustard stuffed with a turkey which is big giant bird,
I guess. A goose a pheasant, a chicken, a duck, a guinea fowl,
a teal, a woodcock, a partridge, a plover, a lapwing, a quail, a
thrush and a lark and in order land bunting, and a garden
warbler, wow. But states that similar rows were produced by
ancient Romans, the RO T signs per aisle, was not entirely
novel. The final bird is very small but large enough to just
hold an olive. Now so Screw you and your duck in.
This is lame duck and it's no good. It's totally lame. And
wow, wow. Well, I just find the whole concept of stuffing a dead
animal into another dead animal and then into more dead animals
very. It's like the first guy who said that snail That looks
tasty. Let me try that.
So what about oysters?
Exactly the same thing.
And by the way, today is the beginning of the real oyster eat
lovers. One month.
You know, that's funny, because now I understand. They were
eating oysters last night. I don't like That's strange. I
thought it was strange. But is that a thing? To eat oysters on
New Year's Eve.
The French believe that January is the optimal month for eating
oysters. And I have had oysters. I have oysters. I like oysters
but I like oysters too. I usually eat them up in the
Pacific Northwest
but but John C Dvorak is rule of travel.
Oh, never eat oysters when you're traveling. Just don't
take it any seafood. Really? Any seafood? He says shrimp in
particular is moistures Yeah, anything any Yes, fish. Yes.
Your seafood? Yes. It's just not a good idea. I've seen I've seen
also not good eat, you know, overcooked beef.
So really, if you look at it, although we dress it up in, you
know, chaps and cowboy boots. We're pretty culinary here in
Texas.
Oh, yeah. Yours probably. It's like the South, the south all of
the southern United States is very culinary. And even though
it's much of the food is kind of lost its history and much of its
too fat. Right. And you know, where you have, you know,
doughnuts filled with, you know, sausage and things like that.
There's a lot of crazy crap. I agree. But yeah, that sounds
like you had a good time.
Yeah, it was like it. It was, it was okay. Then, you know, then I
was out in the hills. And I flipped the app for Uber. And
this is, honestly, this was 215. I mean, I was a blade. And six
minutes. There's the Uber guy, a great guy, by the way, who, you
know, I start chatting with him. And he's like, Yeah, I'm doing
this part time. And, you know, and then he I don't know, he's
just a black guy. And he just starts laying into how pissed
off he is about the he's being half black and white. Okay. You
got me not I got my attention with your half black. And he's
like, I'm so mad at people. No, my own community. They're all
screwing around. They're not out there working or this. We had
their handout. This is, you know, and then you know, the
President and holder and I was like, wow, you watch Fox News?
Or is no, no, ma'am. This is real. This is real. And I guess
that leads me to another, I just have to call it the
uncomfortable black man segment. Which I really like. Because it
can I feel it confuses people when you have black walls, black
men. In this case, I don't think we have many black women who get
on TV as Republicans, which is
there's that really pretty black girl who's on that used to be on
Fox and then she was a little bit on MSNBC and can't remember
her name, but now she's a correspondent on the blaze.
Okay, well, I don't watch that. And she's very, very attractive.
So we have that she's black. So when we, when we haven't played
as Jason Riley. He is on the Wall Street Journal's editorial
board. And you know this guy? Yeah, I
do. I've seen him a number of times. He gets a lot of play.
Yeah. I don't know if he's a Republican or not. He's a
Republican, I would say he's Republican. And I just wanted to
play a little bit of him because I love when this is played. And
the thing this was maybe it was this on CNN, I can hardly
imagine it was on CNN. But it just must be so uncomfortable
for people who really truly believe that certainly in Texas,
we have a bunch of white privileged Hongqi Ku Klux Klan
motherfuckers out killing black people and gays. Because that's
what a lot of people think of Yeah, of course, yeah. Here we
go. Well, part
of it is that the left has no interest in being post racial. I
think they pretend to want to be post racial, but they practice
identity politics, which is divvying us up by race, gender
and sexual orientation, and then making specific appeals based on
those characteristics. So I think this whole notion that the
left wants to be post racial as false and this is, I think,
demonstrates that what we see with this false narrative being
pushed in the wake of the Garner and the Ferguson incidents, the
problem is not police shooting black men. That is not what is
driving the homicide rate in this country. It is non police
shootings of black men that is driving the homicide rate. Yet
we have protesters all over this country, pushing a false
narrative, and everyone from the President on down, refusing to
simply correct the record here, tension between the black
community and the police department stems from black
criminality in this country, high black crime rates, blacks
are about 13% of the population, but commit more than half of all
murders in this country. Blacks are arrested At two to three
times the number in the population for all manner of
violent crime, all manner of property crime. If we want to
address perceptions, negative perceptions of young black men,
we have to address the behavior that is driving those
perceptions. And that is not a conversation, President Obama,
or Eric Holder or Al Sharpton, or all the rest want to have
because they have a vested interest in pushing a false
narrative, which is that racism is an all purpose explanation of
what drives what's wrong in black America.
Yay. By the way, he sounds a little gay there. Do you think
he's also gay?
Yeah, he's got that California black accent is one way I can
describe it. And that has the kind of a gay Gay, gay ish
quality to it. You know, this is all fine and dandy. And then you
find these guys. And that's great. Now I feel better because
I put a black guy on. Yeah, of course, like it is. But it's not
for me. It doesn't address any and he doesn't address any of
the real issues, which is the education system that's
delivered to the black community is just crap.
Yes, but not just the black community. I'm sorry, the white
to white community is pretty regular, pretty messed
up the but Whoo. You know, essentially, the school for the
black community in most of the country is essentially pre is
like you have went to pre was college prep. This is prison
prep.
And public schools, of course. Yeah. There isn't prep. So I
hope you weren't saying that I feel better by putting a black
box or whoever was up, puts it on. Well, then
I have Ben Carson. Who I know, Carson is the best. Right. So
Ben Carson has been called. I think Touray called him Uncle
Tom. Yeah, which is exactly what you and I said, this is Disney
when when a black guy goes on and speaks against, you know,
the certainly the the mainstream media, you know, the narrative,
I guess is what people call it. It's Uncle Tom. So Ben Carson.
And by the way, I think he's a retired surgeon, isn't he? I
think he's still active. Okay, because he's on now wearing.
He's wearing a doctor's coat, which I find a little like
somebody you know that I'm sure that wasn't his ID well,
then he should reject that. Well, the
a lot of people aren't used to me some advice for people out
there who you happen to run into having people out there advice
coming, or advice. Yeah, he's 63. So he probably still he's
creditease Doesn't say that he's retired. A lot of people that
aren't used to dealing with the media, whether it's the
television or even the radio to a lesser extent, but magazines,
newspapers, they get pushed around. Yeah. And you end up
with you you'll find yourself you're just saying no, because
they want to do an interview with you right for whatever
reason, and they're going to try to do things like make you pose
for a stupid photo. Where you look like a moron Yeah, can you
stand it? Oh, I got it. I got it. I got an idea. Why don't you
put this on your head?
Hey, affairs good idea and stand
next to this guy over here. Stand over your stand over here.
No, sir. Okay, sideways, sideways sideways. Okay, now
move the hat move the handle of all day. Oh, gotta gotta go. So
that you end up with an idiotic because the photographer's got
nothing better to do than look for children. He gets kudos from
his buddies. Look at this stupid asshole. What he did, dude.
Exelis say no,
Eminem said he's gay man. Perfect.
Just say no, they're not going to kick you off the show. And if
they do too bad.
So this is John C. Dvorak media training advice, quote, just say
no. Just say no,
perfect.
So here's Ben Carson.
Oh, well, there's no question. They feel that if you look a
certain way, then you have to stay on the plantation. You
know, I've heard this. Some people refer to me as an Uncle
Tom. Well, obviously, they don't know what an Uncle Tom is
because they need to read Harry Beach, those novel Uncle Tom's
Cabin, you'll see that he was very, very subservient kind of
go along to get along type person. Obviously, that's not
what I'm doing. And and what the left frequently does in some
aspects of the right to is they try to make life so unpleasant
for anybody who disagrees with them, that people will keep
silent. And I know that it's working, because so many people
come up to me and say, Thank you, thank you for having the
courage to express this. Thank you. But most people won't speak
up. I'm trying to get people to speak up because, you know, this
country is changing into something else. And we need to
make sure that we really want it to change into something else
and not just end up there and ask ourselves, how do we get
there
you go, Ben Carson, everybody. Do you think he will? He will be
run as a president? I can do with him? No,
I want to make a good go to court. Correct perception of
dunkel Tom moniker is not what? Yeah, it comes it did stem as a
man because I was in at the University of California. And I
know, by the way these things were used by the, by the
liberals, the progressives, whatever you want to call him.
Uncle Tom was taken from the book, but it's not the character
in the book we're talking about and Uncle Tom was is perceived
as a person who plays for the other team. And not in a gay
way. But I mean, in terms of the Republican, right. He's all for
the establishment and he's for the exploitation of the workers
in all the other rest every stereotype and he's black. And
so he's this is bullcrap what he said, in some ways, I believe,
because an Uncle Tom is I think,
what he's trying to say is, I'm not a pacifist, go along with
the message. I'm the opposite,
right? Because he's defining Uncle Tom differently, right?
That he's defining it based on the book would Perry Beecher
Stowe is Uncle Tom's Cabin, which is nobody even no one none
of I would guarantee that Turei has never read that book or his
definition of wow.
You call out the black man, dude.
Touray is calling him and Uncle Tom because he's not agreeing
with Toray. Right.
But well, that would be the new that would be the new
definition. I guess. Don't agree with I agree with Touray. You're
an Uncle Tom. That's good. I like that. Uncle Tom do an
agreement with Touray you know, to re you know, to re know he's
from the spin cycle or whatever it's called.
sort of circle circle jerk. Is that the name of the show?
Crystal Ball should be
I don't know what she's doing there. Well, we got a new year,
Adam, we do,
John, it's 2015.
And I was putting my clips together. I decided, hey, you
know, there's a bunch of old clips from last year and the
year before and the year before that I could pull out the show
what kinds of things we were not. We've long since forgotten.
Okay, I actually have big of one of those. But yeah, okay, good.
You have one too. Yeah, I do. For example. The New Year
celebration tonight get the new new one. Yeah. Here was in 2013
is two years ago. This is the New York New Year celebration,
outrageous aspect of why would you go to Times Square when this
was the problem. Then 1 million people from all over the world
crammed into several blocks around Times Square. Three hours
before the ball dropped. There were so many people, you
couldn't get close enough to see it. And this year, there were no
food vendors or public toilets. Oh, no. Wow. Well, two years
later, nothing's much has changed. I have the regular clip
Times Square restrictions. I'm sorry. And the good news but
in place bomb sniffing dogs and radiation detectors in the
police will also be monitoring hundreds of cameras and time
spies from inside this command center. As protests against
police are expected across the country from New York to LA over
what protesters are calling oppressive police tactics.
Already in St. Louis, a group arrested after storming police
headquarters. And back here in Times Square, the people here
can't leave and come back and no backpacks will be allowed
anywhere near here. Again, the concern is that more than a
million people will be here tonight. Elizabeth All right,
CIO. Thank you so much. We're going to turn now to news
do I get to tell my time My Time Square story from 1986 I
would like you to go and then I'm going to bring out the good
news about all this. Of course. Why would anybody go to Times
Square? Well,
this is my story. 1987 I had arrived at MTV in October and a
month ago and to get set up then my first big gig was live from
Time Square. And I was on Times Square by one time square that's
they said they had the camera up and they had one time square
building and I was down there by the No no I was in your in the
crowd on the ground in the crowd. And they had to sign with
their squealing girls Yes. And they assigned the but there were
no none of this nivia Crap. This in the blue nivia bull crap.
I don't know what you're talking about Blue nivia book they
didn't have
that this year. The big nivia sponsors that and you know the I
didn't watch that when either tonight but I assume that nivia
sponsored it again. They always knew I didn't hear anything. And
they assigned to me an off duty cop with a big ass gun. Okay,
and Paul riser was a tossing to Adam let's toss it to Adam down
on the common cause typical whenever they're going to do a
live show the bringing celebrate ease who are any You think but
television hosts and they suck. They always suck. So Paul riser
I think maybe Sandra Bernhard as well who is definitely not good
at just off the cuff on rehearsed stuff when MTV wants
to you know, trying to be a family friendly. Yeah, yeah. But
anyway, I thought it was quite an experience because those were
the days when you know there were hookers on Time Square and
sex shops and yeah, the place was really grimy and grungy and
people just you know, it's great you can all over the place and
you there was many there were as many or even more cops back in
that era in Time Square, but they didn't do anything about
anything. No, it was a corrupt little enclave.
It worked fine peep
show. It was good. rappy theater. Shop good
times. It was like Grand Theft Auto. It was realistic.
It was and now it's like you think you're in Disneyland
with the rubberized tiles on the on time square. If you fall down
in Times Square drunk. Your head will hit rubber isn't you're not
going to die. Now the you won't even have a scrape.
Yeah, back in those days where you're talking about there was
blood everywhere in
the taxi cab would run over you because that's kind of where
Broadway and seven split. Right but now that it will don't even
allow. You can drive there. It's all walking. They ruined it.
Yeah, it's ruined. It's ruined. I tell you. People are paying in
the street. Oh, rats the size of dogs. Oh, yeah. A good time.
Good dials inside the sewers.
I went to when I was in New York with with Christina, we went
around to see the move where we used to live and where the
original MTV studio was Unitel video 57 thing I want to say
like 10th or something. 11. No. Otherwise, second. Was it
second? Yeah. But was it east river? And I don't remember. But
you know. And now it's like all big CBS corporate book and
building and Tony's deli is gone. You know, it's just been
replaced. It's strange. reminiscing. Sorry. Yeah.
Onward.
Well, that back to the point that there was made in the
second report, the one from the just recently, backpacks are
banned. And I just think this is the step in the right direction.
And I want to add I've been wanting to talk about this for a
while. It just really I don't want to get to talk about for
too long.
Don't worry, I'll stop you.
You go on an airplane.
Oh, yeah, I agree with this should be banned right there.
Especially
when a nice ILC hands.
Someone gate holes, they turn around in the back with hack
back to your face. Yeah,
they're carrying some bag or worse, they're rolling the bag
that doesn't have the right with you know, there's two kinds of
roller bags. One's a regular one, that you can't really roll
down the alley, you should lift it up, carry it sideways and
take it down to where your seat is. But these idiots No, you
should check the bag, you should just check the bag is hideous
keep trying to roll the bag and keeps the seeds and they're
pulling and pulling. It's a joke. And then they've got the
backpack on and so they're swinging around back and forth.
Bastion India, and I'm always on the lookout for one of them. And
when one of them comes near me, and it's just the approach I
push it. I do really? You Oh yeah.
And then did they look at you like asshole? No, no,
they say sorry.
Oh, cool. You've got to try. This is a good idea. I like you
know,
when they're coming. I'm ready. And when this thing even gets
close to touching me, I push it and I push it really hard. And
they say Oh, I'm sorry.
Somebody in the chatroom, you said they're like drunk drunk.
hunchbacks. Yeah.
Donkeys are Sherpas carrying these stupid backpacks. And
they're wandering that rocks walking down the aisle swinging
back. And then the worst ones are the ones who keep the
backpack on. And then they lift up their disord their ones. All
right, I'm gonna lift up their roller bag, and then the bag is
in your face. And I tend that's when I really push it to get
that back back out of here. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry.
Wait a minute. Do you actually sit there and yell at Oh, yeah,
say that again.
That doesn't happen that often. But I the pushing, always get
that back. How do you say that? Get that backpack out of my
face. Anyway, but I'll push it and I'll do the same thing with
these women who have these huge purses. And they're swinging
them around because they're on their shoulder. And I'll push
them to the women never apologize. By the way. It's only
the men, man. extremely annoying. These backpacks would
become a plague. They're stupid look in and see
if I jumped the gun you didn't know you can go
back past if you gotta go there stupid
luck and
you cry. What are you going to hate me when I first went First
came into vogue, which is about 20 years ago. I always think
what you do saw you some all over Berkeley, people wander
there in grocery stores with this huge backpack. What are you
gonna do? You're hiking in? My favorite later today? My
favorite. What is in there? You gotta carry it around all the
time. My favorite
is when you have the big backpack. And then on the front,
you got your kid in the sling.
That's my favorite. Yeah, you got to double that way. You're
balanced.
Yeah. And it's always like a kind of like an effeminate
looking dude. And my wife made me do this.
You know, there's a lot of people that I remember one time
I was going back to New York. I remember one time there was this
trend. And this was about 10 years ago, maybe or maybe
longer. There was this trip this idiotic trend. I don't know if
you remember it of carrying a very small dinky diminutive
backpack. The thing was the size of a purse. But it was a
backpack and
it was more like a drawstring type things that we were talking
about. Remember it
being a drawstring, but it wasn't like a backpack. It was
maybe it was like a drawstring. But it was over there with your
back and it was in the middle of your back. And
I think this was something that came over from Japan or
something
or Europe, you know these things. Okay, Europeans, some
woman wearing once
with a with a Greenpeace patch,
wearing this thing, and it was a subway. We're on this. I'm
taking the subway and the subway was packed. And so she gets in
on this. I'm still waiting for that next subway. And she gets
in and can barely get him to Subway. And then the door closes
and squeezes the little backpack she's wearing and starts banging
bang, bang, bang into the backpack and then a bunch of
tomato juice down the bottom of the backpack on tour. But I'm
thinking well, there's justice. Oh, man.
Do you know that's almost as good as the two Durgan? Ducking
sorry, ducking? Yeah. Well, so the trifecta really is the huge
backpack. The kid in the sling and the fanny pack.
Yeah, yeah, you might as well just shoot yourself.
Shoot the kid first. So there's no spawn of you?
Yes. Well, yes. All right. It's pathetic. Okay. Well, anyway,
I've been meaning to bitch about that. Yeah. Well,
you did. I'm very happy. That's that's a good point.
So when I came back from Seattle, again, TSA preop
hallway,
you got pre check. Yeah, on that was, well, that was on
Southwest. How does that happen?
I think if you're a frequent flyer on Southwest, and you've
flown within the last year, they just put you on automatic.
This is bullcrap. Because you have not been interviewed. You
are not an officially Trusted Traveler. You are a frequent
traveler, but not a trusted traveler. So this would be my
pee. This is votive.
Yeah. You know, I got to say that.
Right on, too bad pay. I want to say something to first of all,
everybody. Hello, everybody in Europe, things change today in
Europe. Big changes particularly. Well, first of
all, we have Lithuania joining the Euro which now the only
country in that basic region that is not on the Euro is
Poland, of course. So we have
Sweden and UK. That's it in that region. Okay. All right.
So we have Lithuania and Poland kind of neighbors. And then you
know, Germany. So that's, that's a change. And boy, I don't know
why what Lithuania was thinking. Why would you want to join the
Euro at this point? Just makes no sense to me.
Well, if you could take it get some free money, maybe? I don't
know. Well, I know that Greek thing is falling apart again.
Wow. I could have gotten some old classic clips.
Well, they have so they're having a snap election because
they couldn't agree on did the cabinet basically fall? Is that
what happened? Because they had a because they couldn't or they
did they could not elect a president
with something like this something like this. Right?
Let's take a look.
And so of course, we have the very Grace dissolves parliament
for January vote. Okay, so the cabinet fell, basically. And
we're gonna have a snap election, and we have the, you
know, the radical guys, the dudes who are saying, you know,
we are going to get in and we are going to stop this austerity
business. And
of course, they should do that's the way to deal with Yeah, well,
they suck
and they should just make it work. Bring back the drachma, or
whatever they use when they use stuff. But that's the only way
isn't it? I don't see any other way for them to get out of this.
You have to hate Screw you, IMF. We're not going to implement
austerity. There's no There's no work there's the country is
dead.
The country was doing very well. By the way before all this
began. When they During putting this austerity and and firing
people in it just as a downward spiral, it was still the most
productive country. Statistically, yes, they had
worked the most hours. Yes, they worked in most hours, and they
had high productivity for those hours. And that was turned
around some set up to be to fail for some reasonably targeted.
You don't think it
has anything to do with the Russians taking over everything
in Cyprus and Greece? And now do we have
been the gas going through Greece? Well, yes.
Yes. Course it did. Yeah. Okay. But no one ever would really
looks at that at any bigger level.
Anyway, so So they're doing it, there's something we don't talk
about it.
There's something much bigger happening in Europe, which I
gotta tell you. I didn't even know. Maybe I knew it. But I
didn't know that it was like, it's happens January 1 As of
today. Well, you know what, let me play a little clip here. This
is from KPMG. It's a promotional video of KPMG. Are the is that
one of the last remaining top three accounting firms? Well,
it's one of them. But I know Anderson's out.
There out,
remind me one day my Anderson story. So KPMG is now talking to
they have several different products. But this affects any
company no matter what size. So if we were a company, which were
not, and we were operating in, in Europe, we would be affected
by this law. And this law is something that is discussed
quite often here in the federalized states of the United
States of Gitmo nation, which is, well, I'm here at sales tax,
then that pops up and you know, you have to do you want to be
paying sales tax for something you bought in a different state?
Well, the VAT now must be collected reported, the end, of
course, paid after the the merchant collects it paid to the
appropriate authorities in the appropriate country. Based on
internet sales,
the main compliance question a business will have to ask is
whether or not they are going to VAT register separately in each
member state where they have a consumer or non VAT registered
customer that's resident, or whether they actually apply for
what's called the mini one stop shop simplification scheme.
Under either method, the business will still have to
understand the VAT rates and particular rules of every member
state that they're trading in and be subject to the audit of
that member state, it's gonna be
quite an effect on systems and processes. And this is
fundamentally because businesses will now need to build to
identify where their customers are actually located.
So you really need to start planning how your system is
going to cope with the changes. And that could mean changes like
introducing new VAT invoicing procedures or requirements. It
could mean capturing and holding particular data, which helps you
determine where your customer is located.
Can you imagine this nightmare
This is designed to ruin the small companies Thank you. And
if you make giant operations they don't they have all these
systems engineer they could do this because they're they can
just cover
it right? So that but they've come up with something called
the One Stop small shop scheme or something. When and why did
they call it a scheme? B? Come on? That's like so it is a
scheme? Yes. Being honest, a scheme Scam. what is it called
here? It's the one stop something or other, which I
guess is going to be some clearing house that you have to
pay.
And you'll be fine. If you don't do it right there just and you
have to submit but you're running out of business, you can
just be a local little shop, walk by customers if you want to
stay in business. And
this is part of I presume the one digital Europe that they
keep talking about how does that even make sense when because
every all these kinds of different VAT rates, some as
high as 21 Maybe even 23% I think Belgium has 21 the
Netherlands I think went back to 19.
And then there's this crazy system if you're an American and
you're shopping over there, you can get these little chits I
show you show your password to various tech I
mean I've never really completed this process of you I have
numerous times I used to buy a lot of stuff. And so you get
back get me back when when the money was flowing John back into
buying this stuff. As far as I'm concerned the way these rates
are if you buy $100 with like some clothes or a jacket
is $21 of tax $21 I
want that money back. So you fill out the form is a form.
Just different countries have different ways of doing it in
one country. You show the passport and they somehow
deducted out this at the right there. But then they put some
coupons Under you had this I don't know,
what exactly is. What is the CIT,
a chits, a little sheet of paper that's got something written on
it.
Because I remember the camera shops in New York on like the
Seventh Avenue camera shops. They if you came in and paid
some overblown price for something that you just couldn't
get anywhere else, but they their mark, you could haggle
down 50% easily if you knew what you're doing, then they had this
additional thing was, well, okay, so if you don't pay with a
credit card, of course, that's because they didn't want to pay
any 3% and we'll give you this, this shit. And then you can
recollect the sales tax when you leave the country with I don't
think that was ever that ever worked?
Well, I do know that. I can't remember which country I was in.
But I was at I think maybe was in England, but whatever the
case was, you could do this, you are great. You know, you know,
and you get these chits and he's gonna get us at the airport,
you're going to get your money back. The line was like that
hours long. That's
what it was. It was not encouraging. Yeah,
wait a minute. So you had you didn't you couldn't just hang
around that long. You had to go to your gate. So that was a
scam.
But anyway, so just back to the back to the reality of this.
This is a travesty. People should be rioting in the
streets. How can you how can you really maintain a digital? How
can you grow a digital economy? When you have this crazy you can
be audited by a whole different country for your VAT if you pay
that other country? Come on as a little schmuck selling beads,
which is that's what comes after podcasting. Yeah. Hi, everybody
has no agenda beads here. So I was blown away and hadn't really
even heard about, by the way, lithium Lithuania. Joining the
Euro from our expert, our resident expert. They are here
it is and this resin expert of course would be comic strip
blogger. He says Lithuania You should have asked me why
Lithuania join euros on them doing the commissioner blogger
voice
is not quite
because they are ready to pay any price to protect themselves
against Russia. First they joined NATO than the EU now the
Euro zone now full integration with West and thus maximum
protection against Russia. Okay,
by actually do buy that because we're pretty good at scaring the
crap out of everybody. Yeah, a rash is gonna get Yeah,
and maybe they'll get some cool stuff. A rash is gonna get you
Yeah, maybe we'll get some cool stuff like some rockets or some
get some rockets will give me some rockets.
Exactly. Hey, why don't we take a short break here, John? Since
we are moving up towards the banana, like 45 minutes into the
first show. Oh, yeah, brand new topics. No, we haven't. But I
would like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning
in the let me get to it as in the morning to you, John. See
you later with your backpacks to work.
And in the morning, do an inquiry into Marinella ships and
see boots on the ground feeding the air subs in the water and
all the Dames and nights out there. We have a lot of new
names and knights coming up for today's show.
We do indeed in the morning to the chat room. Of course taking
no chit from nobody today. No agenda stream.com And in the
morning to our artists Martin JJ we use his work for the previous
show. What do we have a lot of good art actually I think
yeah, but JJ is one was just just let me see what was it
again? It made it go come together. But was
was Jays? You don't remember I do. Kim Jong a star on the Walk
of Fame.
Right. The Walk of Fame with Yes. Yeah. Very good. Excellent.
Excellent. That's that's what happens after a while you get
this neck? Oh, yeah. I've worked with a lot of artists over the
years and cartoonists are the ones that fascinate me the most
because you can give them an idea for a cartoon and then they
put it together and you go oh my god how did you even you how do
you even conceptualize it right get this is just great people
don't appreciate
John chit DeVore I should have done that one down stupid shit.
Anyway, but no agenda are generated are calm. Thank you
very much, Martin, JJ and all artists who participate looking
forward to the first new art for the new year and of course we
also use these in other venues such as the Norwegian
newsletter.
We have a few people to thank we have a lot of people that
decided to become executive producers for showed number one
show from 920 15 One 115 We're actually people should note we
are actually working on the first year. Yeah, it's doors are
all close. Nobody's doing anything but we're here working
on new year.
Okay, and I think that's kind of a Yeah, that's a testament.
That's what we do. That's who we are. Right?
Okay. Yes. So you might as well play that recognition. Lucky.
Okay. Sir David Foley came in with a the most interesting of
all the donations for today. 2015 2015 is the year. No piece
for you? 2015. Yeah, that's cool. IgM and happy new year.
Hopefully his donation will start off in New Year in a great
way that Christmas show was excellent. Thank you. That's
cool. Looking forward to another year of deconstruction and
insight and analysis from the best podcast in the universe.
You Mazal just throw some karma his way. Heck, yeah.
You've got Carmen, I got the one thing I got from the Christmas
show a lot of people were interested in. Yeah, we talked
about the silence of the noise. Gay to not bothers people. But
it bothers some people who are using Bluetooth. What does it
do? Well, if because our signal is all digital. And when the
noise gates kick in, then it's not like it's just quiet. It's
zero. So this zero signal is just 09. So it's going to be
either one to some degree or zero. And when it's zero, many
Bluetooth devices go Oh, time to go to sleep. A turn off. Yes,
that's a bug.
Well, I think it is, too. I think that yes, you can have a
battery saver, but it should be adjustable. You know, it
shouldn't be. So then what's happening is when when we kick
in again, then they're missing the first piece of the word
because the Bluetooth has gotten bought the last time the time to
open up. It I agree. You said it right. That's a bug. It should
be is horrible bug to be. And it happens on a Bluetooth. It's
just
digital technology. Bluetooth shouldn't be thinking, well,
everything's analog. So there'll be some noise in there all the
time. Yeah, in 1950. Well, so
here's, here's what we can do typical of this sort of thing.
So the things we can do are just bitch and moan about it until at
least this is. That's my favorite. I like it. I think
you're right. It's a bug. I agree. It should be user
configurable after a minute or something. And what it's a
minute difference gonna make and your Bluetooth battery supply.
Nothing.
Well, we don't go a minute of dead. That's my point.
That's seconds. That's my point. So you should be able to set it
to a minute,
you shouldn't have to set it to anything. The users in today's
world should not be setting these things.
And the other thing we can do is I can mix into our signal a nine
plus one a Yeah, like is plus 0001. Something.
Yeah, that would probably solve the problem. But uh, you know, I
was out here solving the problem is solving our immediate
problem. Yeah, it's not solving
that users problem solving. We don't have users.
Purdue Well, anyone who's using Bluetooth, it's not solving
a problem for humanity is what you're saying. Well, I just
wanted to point that solving
the problem, right? I just want to point it's, it's a face a
workaround. It's not even a solution. It's a workaround, but
it's crap.
Right? I agree. We're quiet and a whole bunch of people's
Bluetooth just turned off.
Coming in second, today's sweepstakes is asked crack in
Lake Geneva, Wisconsin with $1,000 Thanks for giving getting

while since I last donated and it meant to go for a while.
Today. However, I was listening to Episode Six

I believe this is what it sounds like when he talks not mocking
anybody. Okay. When you play the costumed of Megatron man making
fun of the selfie girl. Your generation is such a
disappointment. Yes, I was in the frozen food aisle in the
grocery store at the time and busted out laughing which earned

immediately and donated. Thank you for the show. And here's a
prosperous new year if you have that clip saved and I would love
to hear it again. Please play one of your choice. Chris in
Portlandia.
You know, I think you told me actually to ISO that one bit
about your
view. Generation is such a disappointment to you.
I have the clip though. Of course. Let me just grab it
here. Hold on. I bet I don't. Seriously, come on people. What
is really? You don't even want to know what's going on? Hold on
a sec. Wow. So I tried to open the clip. And I say show me the
original which you can do in and oh, maybe. Ah, it makes me so
sad. I just want to open this. And then open the mail. What do
we have here?
There you go. No, it's good. Nailed it. Yeah, you should clip
that out. It's to this clip that is clipped has been made a
jingle for us. Oh, cool. Yeah.
I have a note, just a random note from Wesley Newbern. I just
started reading because it was sent in by over the transom over
the mail over the mail system or the snail. Sorry, I haven't been
able to donate. He sent us two little Christmas ornaments that
were carved out of wood. That spell out Shut up slave
nice additions to this one for you one for me. Are they
identical? Are they Yeah, they're exactly the same. Same
from the same leave.
It was a leisure thing.
Cool. You're gonna send that to me Never. Yeah, no, I'm gonna

sending you these expensive chips. You remember this right?
Kids? are an immense as a token of my appreciation for the show.
I should donate more often, as every time I do karma hits me in
the mouth. The last time I donated I was it was just before
a trip to Vegas. My son is aspiring chef, so I was treating
him to a dinner at a certain angry man's restaurant. That
would be angry man, Ramsay Gordon Gordon Ramsay. Oh, when I
saw that one of the side dishes was mac and cheese. I resist. I
got my Kobe steak with my side dish. And I sat down on and on
my first morsel of mac and cheese. I heard a crunch. What
the heck? I pulled out a one inch piece of wire from my mouth
what? I showed it to the waiter and the whole restaurant freaked
the manager came over to check me twice. End of story we got
five complimentary desserts and a whole $300 meal for free. No

These of course are real producer credits executive
producers Associate Executive Producers goes along with our
peerage titles all of this is real it's real. And you can use
these credits again
a little better. I know these credits are Real you can you put
a little echo on that yeah, it's
good and better I'm working on it I'm working on still not
quite the same because the pacing of the you got to get
you're getting closer the gravel but not quite to the same
pacing. But it's good. Keep going Keep going Keep going.
Yeah workout.org/of course we all need people to go out there
and propagate the formula. Our formula is this we go out we get
people in the mouth
now ready I wanted to talk briefly about Air Asia. That
just because people were expecting us to talk about it in
some way. Mimi was complaining to me about the coverage that
she says there was they showed the actual bodies floating
around in every news yes area but in the US they killed it
all. No.
That did pop up. It popped up on that.
Yeah, as good popped up again.
You know, but the best coverage, of course, is CNN whenever
there's an aviation disaster. The no agenda,
thinking I saw this too.
You must because Richard Quest who is doing meth again? This
guy he's on the air. Hi.
Is that what you're talking about? What Yeah, yeah, I was
watching him. I didn't see think he was on meth. He's always been
this way. But now you're you're saying he was always on meth?
No, I think I think he did this in a couple of episodes. I saw
him I think it maybe it was last night before I left. The end. He
looked Hi man. He was and he draws these things out of this
long. Oh,
he's he's an old lady. She's like a stand up.
Lady is no lady is right. You're right. He's an old lady. Yeah.
Okay, so I just want to say a few things first of all,
surprising they really haven't found much you know and there's
it's a little dubious as to whether they've really located
the wreckage you know, the sonar Yeah, maybe yeah, no, we're not
sure. There's this picture of the Indonesian soldiers carrying
this room that that's really gruesome. I felt that to
coffins, and one has 001 and the other has 00 to sign on it and
have one blue suitcase to not exactly you know, great.
You'd think it'd be more stunning thing to be more
stuff now. What is coming out now and this is not the flight
data recorder. data it is not necessarily the so called black
box, but looking at some of the adb adb s tracking systems which
are notoriously they can be often really wrong. We saw of
this aircraft all of a sudden descend that between 55 and 6000
feet per minute this is outside of the envelope of the aircraft
and the forward speed was I think 61 knots which means this
thing was going straight down. But I mean just you know,
forward speed just nosedive or could be could have been, who
knows, I think it had to be a nose straight down and the speed
I mean, the aircraft is coming apart in in this trajectory. But
here's the thing that I don't think anyone is really explained
this when you learn how to fly. And of course I learned in the
UK and and the Netherlands and in Belgium, and there's a lot of
inclement weather, and the friend you and you learn weather
was one of the main testing if you learn how to fly early, you
learned the engineering, you know, electronics, Bueller and
human performance, and you learn media meter up meteorology. And
when you are flying for the first time, your first cumulus
Nimbus cloud is pointed out which you know, this thing. The
top of these can be in space, Lucha Nimbus. That's the cloud
in space. And it's pointed out to you and here's what every
single pilot has learned. That sun is something you do not fly
into ever. And of course you go why not? Clouds are fun to fly
through. Yeah, but you could fly into that and you could be shot
out into space or you could be shot down and driven into the
ground like a spike because that's the the fierceness that
is going on inside that cloud. And so for anyone and I heard
this last night well ATC was wrong and it killed all these
people again, no pilot always in control any pilot who thought it
was a good idea to fly into this thing it 20,000 hours hours this
guy had no I can't I can't believe that that's what that he
that any airman purposely said oh yeah, I can make it No, it's
just that you don't do that ever ever ever you do swing to the
left you go and you do whatever you have to do you do not go
into that thing. So I'm puzzled when and if they find the flight
data recorded then we will have some more information although
strangely the reports are already saying well the this
flight data recorder may not be very useful I'm not sure why
they're saying that because there's all kinds of data it's
not just your the basics of direction speed it said there's
a lot more information that can be garnered from this but I what
it looks like is they went into the cloud and the cloud shocked
them because you could easily be popped out of the top and you
might live people have lived guys have gone in and thrown out
at 60,000 feet and somehow they made it back and you can live
but that's not really the you know, that's the exception to
the rule. So I this is very curious to me that any pilot
would make that decision especially with all those hours
precisely that's that's there's is there's no guy you can go
through storms and then when situations but you don't know
what's on the inside of that club which is why you were
trained this is a couple things you don't do you don't go in and
I can if this is what happened there when
you can go around well this Yeah, that is no no you must go
around No, no, you do should go right.
You must not should you must.
I was in Texas coming out of Texas once and that we were on
some flight and there was some Nimbus says and that they
weren't that big. They were just there's a there was just a huge
pocket of tons of clouds. And the pilot I guess was given the
go ahead he warned everybody that he is going to go around
all these clouds and it'll be up for about a half an hour. Right
and and it was one of the greatest flights have ever had
because we're banking and
you're looking at these clouds right off the side of the plane
and
the other way and go around another one and then another it
was one of the most pleasant flights I've ever had. It was no
turbulence He didn't hit any the clouds. But he was just going
around and around. It was quite quite quite entertaining. And
you get to see these clouds out the window. nasty looking some
of them as well. I find them quite beautiful. Really.
Yeah, some of them
are but even you can eat it so the if the tops are still below
40,000 feet. You can go over them although using our
recommended because they can All of a sudden it's 50,000 feet
that can go pretty quick. But I find it just beautiful to watch.
And as someone in the chatroom just pointed out, you know,
today's planes do a lot of flying themselves. So maybe this
was not a pilot decision. I don't know. Maybe the plane
there was an Airbus. God knows what this plastic plane is
thinking.
Running guy can do it running Windows
and T. Yeah. Hey, yeah, there you go. So anyway, I just wanted
to make sure that everyone heard my I think that's good that you
did this. Just so you have a little more information. And now
we can all go back to looking at Richard Quest and just
visualizing him with his, with his nut sack tied around to his
neck with a dildo in his boot and meth in his pocket. Being
arrested in in New York City. Because that's all I can think
of when I see the guy.
Well, he's just pretty disgusting.
Nothing. You don't know that. Have you ever done meth?
I'm not going to do math. Didn't know. I
don't think so. I just asked if you had ever done it. No, I've
never done meth. Okay. It's just a bit. It's like taking too much
in Fetta means how sure? No, it's feel like a million bucks.
It's an amphetamine, they're all the same. It's all from the same
family of drugs.
Really. I thought meth was like some hallucinogenic crazy crowd.
It's
just another amphetamine. Methamphetamine is what it is
always didn't form of crystallin substance but it's still it
still matters to get. It's just it's Adderall. The homemade
Oh, so just makes you jumpy.
Make sure jumping makes you feel good. Oh, that's
what they call them to fight that guy. Yeah, exactly. That's
not what Adderall does.
No, Adderall is then blended back to do other things. You
know? But it's still amphetamines is not good. It's
things are not good. Drugs are horrible drugs. Now, they were
given out freely in the 40s. Apparently my dad
methamphetamines. It was no not it was Benzedrine Benny's,
Benny's. Benny's was the original, and they would get
apparently when you're in the Navy during World War Two, you
just go to the supply room, and you get handfuls of these
things. So you could shoot the guns? Like,
like m&ms. Nice.
I have let's go back in time.
Okay. Oh, hold on a second. We want to do that properly, don't
we? Do you know what year we're going back to? We're
going back? Well, this in this case, we're going it's probably
further back than this. But the clip we're going back to is from
2013. Going back in time
to 2013 with another from John C. Dvorak.
I can't. We're not happy about the fact that we don't get these
clips like this as much as we used to. And I'm going to try to
change that because I think this is one of the great clips ever
on the show. And I want to remind people that we're this
show has been doing this for seven years, and we've been
digging up stuff like this for your entertainment purposes.
This was a kid show. This is a kid's children's cartoon show
called Liberty kids that was showing the history of the
United States and during the revolution and they'd had all
kinds of cool propaganda in it and it was it was very
entertaining. But there were occasionally crazy stuff that
you know, board writers put in the see if they can get it
through the censors has nothing
seditious about an intelligent woman wanting to keep well
informed. That's for black dick to decide
that's what the sailors cool and know how to give us black dick
and we found nothing. Why does he call him black? Perhaps he is
adopted from him. Bingo, boom nice. Give us black decay. We
have nothing to fear. So it was that
I think this this evolved into something Christina and Mickey
and I started doing at Nobu in Los Angeles, although this is
this is known. Wait, maybe it was 2013. Now, we weren't in Los
Angeles. We would go to Nobu and ask for Black Hawk. Yeah, yeah.
I have one. But this comes this comes with a little bit of a
little setup. This is 2010 this is a clip that you often often I
say have have called for. This is the the clip where Dianne
Feinstein Oh, yeah. The asks this panel, including it starts
off actually with the who was Blair guy, wasn't he the, the
director of intelligence.
The I had all the top directors that had the head of the army.
They had the chief of staff that didn't Intelligence guy, CIA
guy, and I don't know if the NSA was there. And the chief of
intelligence it was all of them. They're all sitting there at a
Senate hearing.
So hold on a second as we go back in time to 2010. All right,
here we are 2010. Now, Dave Jones, sent me a note to
accompany this clip. What is your belief that this clip says,
John, that we're going to have an attempt at a terrorist
attempt in the United in the homeland in the next six months?
And the question she asks, Is the following what is the
likelihood of another terrorist attempted attack on the US
homeland in the next three to six months, three
to six months? This was of course 2010. Without I've always
thought these all guy these guys immediately went in said, oh,
yeah, yeah, definitely is happening. That's not exactly
how it gets set up. And Dave Jones says he believes that this
Blair guy is a genius. The way he deflected the question and
set up all the other answers here it is high or low, Director
Blair. And attempted attack the priority is certain an attempted
attack.
Okay, listen to the whole thing. He says an attempted attack the
priority is certain. Yep.
Exactly. Blair. An attempted attack. The priority is certain
I would say what does that mean?
It doesn't mean anything best beside the point. They're
scaring the public. I would agree with
Mr. Mohler. Agree. General Berger. Yes, ma'am. I agree.
So yes, no, but it's better because they're scaring the
public by not really saying anything scary.
Well, yeah,
that's great.
I guess if you want to call that great. But it's still the same
old thing that we've been following on the show, which is
needless frightening of the public. Yes. If I didn't have
what was the one what do you think in fact, this one I forgot
all about in 2012?
Do we need to go to 2012 2012? Hold on a second, we need to
travel. And now 2012? Ladies and gentlemen, we now travel back in
time to January 2012.
What was the big fear in January 2012. I have a clip here with
Judith Miller, kind of outlining what she thinks about it. I said
she's part of about four clips. But let me outline it, let me
say what it was. So you can then the clip make some sense, in
January 2012, was being scared to death by our own government,
that there were gonna that the Iranians were going to bomb the
crap out of the Strait of Hormuz and wreck the world's economy
any minute.
But Iran has been flexing its muscle Judith now for years and
years and years. I mean, they threatened us like four or five
times a week. Why this time? Are we paying such close attention
to this threat? Well, because in fact, 1/5 of all the world's oil
moves through the Strait of Hormuz, and because let's face
it, trace, if they actually carried through on this threat,
it would be regarded by many states as an act of war. And
this situation could escalate very, very quickly into full
blown military conflict in a very sensitive part of the
world. So it is something that the administration is watching
very clumsily.
Oh, man, that was good times.
Good times. This is the kind of bull crap we always forget about
these old these these crazy things that make the public
nutty,
and it's a good way
to have her moves. It was gonna be bombed everyone we're going
to do
this is almost as realistic as the Stargate in the Gulf of
Aden. Which I still believe will happen one day.
Yeah. What's gonna come out of that Stargate what? Fish
Thank you. We'll be here all week, everybody. Okay, can I can
I bring us back into today's world for just a little bit?
Yeah, I'll do this. I'll do this more later in the show.
Ladies and gentlemen, we'll go back to 2015. You go back.
Alright,
guys. Anyway, I wanted to say a couple of things about I do have
a list of events that took place in 2014 that we that everyone
seems like forgotten about. And it's like always big news at the
time. And now nobody cares,
but I can't. I can I can't travel back to 2014. We just got
to 2015.
Right. So I want to but I do well I want to Can you can you
hold on to it. I know this is something else. Okay. I do have
a word of the year that I think will continue through 2015 But
you have to guess what it is? is a word of the year okay, you're
going and it's not essentially one
second word of the year
you have to guess the word oh this is Jake gillion thought
whatever his name is the actor on the Today Show. And he says
the word of the year, number of times you have to figure it out
with the word so I get
to play the clip and then guess Yeah, clip is only 12 seconds
long, he must say. Yeah, can I guess the word before I play the
clip then? Sure. Okay, so the word is it a word we've used on
the show?
Yeah, all the time. We try not to use it. Is it? Yeah, no, no,
that's not a word.
Is it? Essentially
I said to introduce the segment it's not essentially sorry.
Oh, angry I do the minute you introduced the segment my brain
was already thinking I couldn't listen to you anymore.
Well, this is not new. You get one more guess. Okay. You're
gonna be very now that you're guessing are gonna be extremely
annoyed that you didn't get it? Yeah, I
know. That Yes. And yeah, I know.
I know. That's what I want to say here. But you don't know.
You know?
I mean, the easiest would be selfie but I think that can't be
right. No,
no. And the fact that it works just first and foremost is such
an amazing feeling that it gets acknowledged in any way is
pretty amazing. But the Golden Globe is even cooler because my
sister got nominated to so that's pretty amazing. That is
douche knuckle made this word of the year. I did. This is not an
official thing. Yeah. You
official it's no agenda official.
Okay, that's right. Well, I got some thing I'd been you know, I
did one of those Amen. Na things you know, like, I gotta go look
at the Who are these people?
All right for your shows yours.
You say take the wheel curry, take the
wheel curry
and drive it drive that stuff. First. We have this report,
which continues this is so underreported. This is EURO
NEWS. North Korea's leader has used a New Year speech to
announce that he's open to resuming peace talks with South
Korea Nansemond.
The North remains under the spotlight over claims of cyber
threats against the US Kim Jong Un's spoke on state television.
The comment comes days after South Korea proposed to restart
dialogue.
Monday you go this is the reunification talks continue,
which as we know, is very bad for sales. This is not good.
They need to stop talking about this because otherwise arm sales
will be reduced into this hairy in the tank. But we have to lose
money on this and we have to sell the Japan because our Bae
has changed the constitution. We have to sell to South Korea
because they're taking over OpSec
probably Philippines would be a good market.
Tons of even China maybe you know who knows.
But they're not. Yeah, got their own stuff. They probably just
casually would be a great market.
Right? Right. Just there's some of the outliers. Hey, man. Okay,
so the FBI, as we all know, has been brought into question
regarding their the forensics they presented. And we have this
one company and this of course, the company I looked into who
says no, no, I'm sorry. This is your wrong FBI. You are wrong.
And blitz here. The this is a short bit where the FBI is
they're just holding on to what they think is right with a. This
is a step in for the State Department. Who is it? Jeff Rath
key. So both the girls are out. And Jeff Rath key is the one now
having to hold down the for confusion is that a private
company called Norris combed through the malware that helped
hackers access and erase so much confidential information on the
Sony servers. And they concluded that a lot of detailed insider
information only available to a Sony employee was used in the
hack. Now, one of the cyber intelligence and experts from
Norris told Fox news.com they briefed the FBI about their
findings for two or three hours on Monday in St. Louis. But the
FBI is still blaming North Korea. And so as the State
Department, the United States has government has concluded
that the North Korean government is responsible for this attack.
And we we stand by that conclusion. And there are other
private security firms who share the FBIs conclusions that North
Korea is responsible so this debate is not over. And when I
heard
that who are these other security of right
so when I heard that I didn't really care so much, but now I
cared a lot more about this Norse outfit Have you looked at?
We talked about this on the last show you were I went online and
looked at these guys do you brought up Norse before? I
don't think we actually looked at board of directors. I don't
think we we looked at it board of advisors. I don't believe we
looked at that and we certainly did not discuss the dark Viking
tool that they use that they use to approve. Now if you go to
Norse dash corp.com
Yeah, I'm there now as a matter of fact, okay. Yeah, I looked at
we didn't go into this I was looking at you already
discussing Norris and I found these guys to be a bunch of
sales clowns but Lanius skies I mean, they're obviously got out
in front of this whole thing and pushed it to get a bunch of free
publicity when we were you citing some some blogs of done
by some real security experts that had already deconstructed
this, this show is bogus. And so I guess Norris jumped on board,
I just want to point out the people because we did not
discuss specifics.
No, we didn't. We passed it over. Okay. So we have
the most interesting ones are Robert F. Lenz, president of
cyber these Board of Directors cybersecurity strategies. So
he's in a think tank, that advisor that advises people to
use these guys. He was the former Security Officer for the
Department of Defense, where he oversaw the department's $3
billion cybersecurity program. Yeah, that's the guy you want on
board. Then there's Howard a bein the third which I can only
think is a bane, man. But then this is interesting. Henry
marks. This is the entertainment company connection. They brought
a guy Yeah, who you know his. I love his bio. And because you
can see how a Silicon Valley firm goes, Yeah, this guy's
crazy. We need him on the board. He's He's the president of Big
Deal records, LLC. Whenever someone has a company and it's
like, hey, my company's Big Deal records, LLC. It's like, Yeah,
okay. Yes, not so great. And B music force publishing LLC with
over 40 years in the independent record industry. His management
expertise has guided the careers of artists as diverse as Bobby
Caldwell. And like who? Yeah, Laura branigan, who's dead? The
Tower of Power, which barely exists anymore?
Well, they don't the original band definitely doesn't. Yeah.
And his marketing expertise has guided many artists to the top
of the Billboard charts. And then here it is. The here's the
example which brings in his his collaboration with Bobby
Caldwell, the hit song by Peter Sutera. And Amy Grant who I
mean, he didn't just it's just not like something Neil Diamond.
Bob's question is, what's this guy got to do with computer
security? Bullshit.
He has a connection to Hollywood that this company apparently
thinks is great. This is one of those companies. This is not
Jimmy IV. So we put it down. If you
also look at Tommy Stinson, Chief Technology Officer
attended HIV the University of Bergen Norway's attended
studying computer so he didn't even get a degree.
No. But so but the now look at the advisors. We have Anthony
bar gar bar Jarrar bar gar industry veteran, thought
leader, thought leader, I want to be that. Hi, my name is Adam
curry. I'm a thought leader in podcasting. This is a thought
he's a thought leader in cybersecurity. Can you get is
that a title? Can you use that thought leader
you can put anything you want on your business card on bad like
it. He served later,
he served in senior positions within the financial services
sector, the United States Department of Defense in the
intelligence community. Okay, then we have down here we have
the venture guy, the money guy is always on the border and
advisor and some guy from Prudential insurance, which is
probably good to have in there. Now the reason I say this,
because this company has been co founded by some what's his name?
Norwegian dude. Tommy is Dr. Johnson. He's the co founder and
CTO. And he developed this product which is called Oh, I
gotta do it. Right. His product is called Dark Viking. So dark
Viking I'm sorry, dark Viking is a product that is a black box
that sits in the cloud. And you can see all these attacks and if
and this is what I discovered. If you go to this website,
people in the chat room listen to the stream right now. Norse
dash corp.com and RS e dash corp.com. At the top it says
watch live attacks. You must click on this jar Do you see the
little button was
the first time around? Yeah clicking
and it takes you to map.ip viking.com As you can see
I bet you this works too I bet you that their companies go oh
my god look at these attacks are taking place in real time and it
has like a scroll here then you can see it's coming from China
this is very good this is fantastic. Now it puts
this is funny because this is very similar to what I saw maybe
five or six years ago at Panda software in Barcelona
it's probably the same thing
it may be the same code but look at the look at the right attack
targets
country United States 1011 113 116 to two mil dash
slash gov and its HTTP port 80 attacks John what are we gonna
do this is this Yeah, this is the biggest
key is a gym
This is a biggest piece of bullshit I have seen in a long
time it's a
gym and you can see
notice that all of the the flying attack packets are all
inbound on the United States there's nothing going out to
like Iran or anything out from us it's all inbound to us the we
are under Qaddafi we are under fucking attack my
friend and it looks like there is a there's a we're being
bombed
and you know by who attack Origins The
China
from the US China Mexico but right up there the Netherlands
Hello Netherlands. The Dutch are attacking us
Joe wish I'm just seeing an attack right now coming in from
Iceland.
Oh my goodness.
Iceland's got a packet coming in. It's about to hit I'm gonna
deflect
deflect it's like shield to shield shield.
It's going right to Washington State. Oh, here comes one from
Latvia it looks like are we Estonia one lone packet. Yeah,
one packet deflect shields. This is this is what you use it for.
Boom. Blink of flashing thing that's that blocks it? Yeah.
We should have we should be able to control this is great.
Actually. i Yeah, this is one of the great, greatest web pages
ever.
But here's the thing that we've been looking at this for how
long? Two, three minutes.
About a minute. I'm
looking at the leaderboard and look at the leaderboard. I do
not see any North I see South Korea attacking us. But I don't
see any North Korea. Have we just thwarted them?
Yes. So we put them in their place.
But the Chinese this Chinese man that looks like they're getting
they're hammering us. Yeah, it seems like we attack ourselves
the most.
Yes, we apparently are attacking ourselves. According to this
list. Suicide. We're number one. Well, actually the 350 in China
is 271. Right. So
when I see this I of course this is makes it go. Hey, boy, Juan,
stop that. This is I mean, sure packets fly all over the place.
But this is not like the anyone who looks at this who knows
anything and says, y'all were under attack. You're a moron.
This is this, this is the stupid thing. It's kind of a it's in a
way a throwback to to WarGames you know what I mean? Like it is
beautiful. It's a sales tool of all sales tools is real time.
This is real.
This is real. This is genius.
So I'm thinking these guys are in on this game somehow. These
are not just guys popping up because they got DOD, they've
got advisors. So they are maybe the chosen ones possible. I
don't know. I don't know. Are they public? No, I don't think
they'll have their own investments is the number one
funder and they haven't gone public. It's a big it's that.
Now it's not one not that I know I've enlisted might be big in
the in the Defense Department. Sphere
they may be. So then they there's a second part to this
report that I had not heard yet. FBI is warning in a new bulletin
that this news organization referred to only as US per two
may be getting the Sony treatment from these hackers
soon. From a bulletin on 20 December, the GOP Guardians of
Peace posted paste been messages that specifically taunted the
FBI and this news organization for the quality of their
investigations and implied an additional threat. No specific
consequence was mentioned in the posting. We're also getting a
better idea today of just how much just how much the massive
cyber attack on Sony said that company back in a Wall Street
Journal piece employees had to use a phone tree to spread the
word of updates on their network being restored. One person would
call another person called somebody else. They've got 6000
employees, so no small undertaking. Gmail accounts and
all blackberries that could connect to the network were also
utilized and the payroll department started cutting paper
paychecks with an old machine they took out of storage Sony
still recovering. So the FBI obviously taking the threat to
this unnamed news organization very seriously. By the way,
since
this is news organization it was unnamed. Yes,
it's a codename
was the codename
U S, all uppercase U S P E R two. So that would then implies
us
I would say us expert
Well, I hope they would I would lie first of all this is this is
of course really tech news because it's about a phone tree.
So it's about phones. So we get to talk about in tree. skip
logic phone tree,
a get that dead check printer out of storage like they keep it
and does anyone know how to hook up this old check printer to a s
400? Because it's dot matrix. Does anybody know how to hook
this thing up? Does it have a USB port?
No. Or is it big plug with the UCM I triple E port and open on
a scuzzy that's the last scuzzy. Nothing was bigger than my head.
The
finance guy scuzzy port on your regular printer here. I can't
find
scuzzy. We know the ham radio guys still have serial ports,
please. The eye if they're going to attack a news organization,
here's what I hear would be my dream scenario. Wolf, Blitzer's
head explodes. When that be perfect?
Well, I don't know how that would even be possible.
Well do the same magic that Kim Jong owns had exploded
in the movie. Oh, I see what you're saying. By
the way. That was the first time I've ever heard Kim Jong Hoon
speak. And he didn't sound like a little feeble boy, as he's
always described sound like a man saying, Hey, and if there's
anybody who has a full clip of his Christmas speech, and can
translate or translated verse, I'd love to know what he said.
You know,
have we ever have some Korean listeners, but it's an old
fashioned form of Korean right. But have
we ever seen Kim Jong Un and a full speech that has been
translated? I can't recall.
It would. What's the point? Why would anyone do that?
Well, no, you
know what, daddy want that. We want it but there's obviously
nobody wants it in this in this system. intends on selling you
this. South Korean is a bunch of garbage. I'm sorry, high tech
gear to protect themselves. Yeah.
But you notice the bottom of this thing. There's like a
barcode that scrolls. It's kind of
cool to watch live attacks. Yeah,
down below that, like a colored barcode.
Like Jake turned it off. I'm gonna try this seems
to be a lot of activity on port 8000. On a colored barcode. This
seems to be a lot of, I'm looking at the attack types.
This is kind of cool. A lot of so they're just using known
port. So at http then they have 8080 which is you know,
alternative HTP 23 telnet. Really, someone's using talent.
Well, maybe for routers. I thought that was all SSH by now.
Then they have eight port 8009. What who, what, or who uses port
8009? Because that's getting a lot of attacks. dude named Ben.
I'm sure there's a dude named isn't we have SSH for 22. With
anyone in their right mind doesn't use standard ports for
SSH but okay. Oh, VoIP.
Huh, yeah, it's 1009 The Forgotten tomcat port. Oh,
that's like the oldest
exploit in the book. Really?
The fun and forgotten thing is that you can also access that
manager interface on port 8009
Isn't Tomcat like a web management application? I don't
know. I thought it was
not a real poor guy. 1009 Or me read it, but he was a whole
webpage about it. I thought Tom Tom was using WAR files that'd
be AR exploding. Tomcat usually involves accessing the Tomcat
Manager interface on Tomcat. HPP HTTP five. It's a Java based web
server. That's what it is. Fine and forgotten thing is you can
also access it. You can also access the met that manager
interface on port 8009. And the port that by default handles the
Apache J surf protocol.
Yeah, there you go. It's a it's a server side. Java web server.
Yeah, yeah. So that's their, their big that Whoa, we're going
after the tomcats. Yeah, that's going to really do it.
Yeah, it'll take him down.
And what is ms Web? Microsoft obviously what does it web T
server on 333389? I think it's kind of small. So there's a
Microsoft WB T server. These are all known and another unknown
just popped up. 49156 This I find interesting because these
seem to be very unsophisticated, probed attacks if this map is
anything of anything real. Okay? 3389 randomized bullet 3389 is
RDP, which is remote desktop protocol. Okay, that makes sense
that be that's that's what that's for okay to try and bring
up a remote desktop. I guess we this kind of brings us into so
you sent me the link and of course there's been a lot of
stories but not a lot of real information but to know that
we're at least looking at this and are trying. You're on it is
this how do you pronounce it? Do you think it's Regine or Reagan?
The the ar e g i n do you think? Yeah,
yeah, and I have no idea how to pronounce it. I was just call it
Reagan.
Well, we need to claim the official pronunciation now.
Because people say Oh, no agenda show says
pronouns Re and
I think it's reg in because I think the ARIA regimen because
that's part of the registry and it seems like this AV this does
attach itself in at some part that attaches itself to the
Windows Registry registry. Seth Rogen
here it isn't already read Regan region region is just semantics
gotta pronunciation they call it region R E G E and pronounced R
e g e n read Jen,
they say region, region region. Although the way they haven't
here, it could be Reagan. No, because then it would be gift
now. I
think it would be Jen region region away. Here it is, as in
let me just open this. Just you we've already the claim has been
long based and all this this thing's been around for a while
it says nobody knows what it is.
Yeah, well, what is interesting. This is just a small part of
what I've been reading about it is that this was so first of
all, it's it's being said that this is us and Israeli
intelligence. That seems to be an overarching agreement by the
Kaspersky ease of the world. And the second part is that this was
really tracked down big time at the bill Belgacom hack, which
wasn't talked about a lot. Now I know a bellhop calm is how you
would really pronounce it. That the of course Belgium, Brussels,
very important to the when you're making international
calls. In fact, I think a lot of calls cell phone calls
internationally, a lot of them already are routed through Bell
Hacohen for some reason I read, too, it's kind of like a like a
Super Hub. And and they don't want to talk about it anymore.
Because they say, Oh, this is old news for us. Don't look at
us anymore. It's all cleaned up. But I find that the idea of a of
a framework and entire platform that has is this not just the
long heralded legend of the Microsoft Windows backdoor that
it maybe it wasn't a backdoor, maybe it's just really a
framework that they built into this that has always been there.
I have no idea. I mean, I've been reading I read that white
paper and I've looked into this and it's just seems to be nobody
that's high. That's a high end. Security Analyst has made it he
has been able to explain it. It looks like a framework with a
lot of programmable characteristics, perhaps
buttons, checkboxes, I don't know how it you know, nobody
knows quite how it works. But check boxes. Oh, no, extremely
powerful. And if you want to, if you want to go do something
specific to some powerful checkbox, well, you know, you
put a check. You want to do this? Yes. Do you want I mean,
that's the way who else you can't build one of these things.
For people who ever high end coders you want to build it for
some guys in an office doesn't know much more than checkboxes.
And so you go through you have the master code that actually is
uncompiled and then you check a bunch of things and then you
compile it and off it goes to do whatever it has to do that seems
to me to be the way you would structure something right.
Right. Yeah, I agree. Well, it's got her eye on it. I don't know
no one seems to know how to use it. Except apparently the people
who broke into bellhop calm
so ya know it's kind of
a yeah, there we go. Haha and they'll do one more time.
Yeah, no, no. It's one of those things that
you know, we can call stuff being being used and
no, apparently it also hides well, so it could be your
machine for all we know right now. Sending the show to
somebody well, that will
be handy. Distribute for me. This of course, is all falls
under the protectorate of the grand dukes or Stephen Pels.
mocker. So I think we shouldn't need to he should be the A
sending out orders so the minions can figure it out.
So this is as far as we get with our analysis of region and it's
according to this it's pronounced region as in
regenerate those region.
Yeah, but that is spelled with an eye that's strange.
How do you pronounce the word gin?
Well, gin region not regenerate will be region. For the slight
difference
it should be region, I would say I'm agree agreeing with you. It
should be region, not region and region.
Now, why is why are these guys claiming it that way? I don't
like that.
This is according to Symantec. Yeah, I don't want to have named
it.
I don't like that. You know, whoever
discovers these things gets the name of them. Well,
I don't like it.
Let me read it from this article on this thing, okay. Symantec
said region, region monitors its targets with a rarely seen level
of sophistication, internet service providers and
telecommunications companies make up the bulk of those that
are initially infected. Researchers said region then
targets individuals of interest in the hospitality what the
hospitality energy research and airline industry among others
that are served by those same ISPs, regions, operators
continue to use infected companies as a springboard to
gain access to more individuals. You know, it sounds like a
Trojan some sort. It does. This is not a good explanation. No
more than half of observed attacks have targeted Russia and
Saudi Arabia semantics, which is
why it's supposedly Austin or the Israelis or something of
that ilk.
Yeah, that's yeah. The rest are scattered across Europe, Central
America, Africa and Asia. That initial infection came from a
variety of sources, such as copies of popular websites or
web browsers and USB drives that have been plugged into
contaminated systems. Region has five attack stages. It begins
with an initial drop, called the Trojan horse or backdoor breach
that allows it to exploit the security vulnerability by
avoiding detection or did avoiding detection avoiding
Texans but that to the first stage deploys what is called a
loader Okay, and it's just just meaningless
stuff. Okay. All right. So when the you know, what do we have
alerted? We have alerted our dudes named Ben and people get
back because we got a lot of really smart people I have. I
have Cisco router logins and logs of North Korean traffic,
which from our some of our dudes named Ben kind of shows that
yeah, there, they had no transit, they had no
connectivity for a while, at least, according to these logs
in North Korea, and they show all the Russian satellite
connections and the Chinese and we got some interesting people
listening to this program.
Yes, this is Oh, hey, it's something good to listen to.
Yes. And I wanted to bring this up. I got a an email. It's kind
of a nice one. In the morning to you. This is from rich he has
for the love of tech.com podcast. I think. I think this
podcast too, in the morning to you Adam Tiberius curry thank
you for your courage. The Christmas episode was great.
Because of the Christmas episode, I bought Confessions of
an economic hitman on Audible. Now I did you use the code twit
to now I finally know what you guys are talking about when you
talk about economic hitman fantastic book and now he's
referring to So what other sacred texts texts are there now
that I'm done with this one? He says he also got brave new world
and Babbitt I Babbitt's not really seek a sacred text that
was just something we discussed recently brave new world would
be a sacred text. And he says also is the no agenda show based
on Confessions of an economic hitman. Well, I think some of
our thinking may be based on the general premise. At the end of
the book, he starts talking about how we have to ask the
important questions and such the whole audio book seems like a no
agenda shows zero that's the number zero not hashtag zero.
Gotcha. What do you think is happening the EU? He says toward
the end he talks about the whole thing relies on the US dollar
being the most important currency. If another currency
came along that was stronger than the dollar the whole system
would fall apart. He says that currency is the Euro Do you
think that's what started all the troubles over there? The
Jackals well? No. But I think we have not officially compiled the
safe because this is the first time you brought the term up
sacred text.
Well, I think we would have no agenda bookstore. What
is the family of secrets? Russ Baker,
right. That's another one family secrets is great. Legacy of
Ashes, ashes. Yep. I think pot shards should be in there just
to keep the
absolutely it's totally, totally belongs there.
Now there's a book of Very good if you want if you really like
reading, of course it would be nice if
it couldn't happen here.
Very good book, life and death and Shanghai I would put any
text Yes. Nice book. We have the merch index. Yes, hell yeah. But
my browser just dropped dead. Like can't look up this book.
Yeah. Nene Chang is life and death and Shanghai Sinclair
Lewis. It can't happen here. Russ Baker family of secrets.
Pod shards. Bye. Donald P Greg. Is there another one that I'm
thinking of one day and get mo nation from Sir Scott McKenzie.
That may do a Thomas Woods notification is that that's not
really that's more like a I liked that
book. I don't think it's good to understand.
I don't think it's a sacred text. No,
no, I don't think so. But I think I would look for I'm
trying to get the name of his book, Carroll Quigley wrote a
history of the United States that are actually history of the
world. That I think is really good reading.
Oh, what is this? By the way? I would I would put on there, Neil
Postman? I'm using ourselves to death. I would I think that
would be that qualifies. I've never read it. Well, then it
doesn't qualify if you've never read it.
And you haven't read this either. Which is I've read I've
read this book. The Quigley book? Oh, no. No. rather amusing
ourselves to death. No Quigley book. What is the No, I'm not
read that.
It's a huge monster.
Oh, hold on. I don't know one garden of beasts.
Oh, the one with the button. Nazis. Yes. That is an
outstanding book to read. Yeah.
Is that garden of the bistro garden? I think his garden of
beasts isn't it
is garden of something that's horrible.
And it's a real account
of life in Nazi Germany, Germany. 30s. Guard if you will.
Yes. outstanding book. And I we came to conclude that was
important to read. Because I think a couple years ago on the
show, we introduced the concept that what would it be like? What
is it the day to day life that we're having today? Is this
anything like Nazi Germany like Nazi Germany insofar as? Oh,
yeah, it's just the way it is. Don't worry about it. Oh, yeah.
Oh, we're gonna get you there. They hate us. Common
sense. Common sense.
I think the book is this one. Eric Carson is who wrote tragedy
and hope, a history of the world in our time. And it's 1300 48
page, just a dynamite product. And the great thing about this
by Carroll Quigley I'm buying turned me on to this is you can
read it like the Bible. But you do not have to start on page one
and start reading. I mean, I would read the first couple
chapters, or at least the intro and the chapter one, but you can
jump around and it's just filled with cool. So
I am going to give myself a present. And I am this is a very
expensive book. Now you can rent it from Amazon. I didn't know
they had already. You can rent it. Yeah, you want to buy the
hard book buying the hardcover. 35 bucks.
Yeah, it's not too bad. It's a beauty. It is a jam. I mean,
it's filled with Okay, talks about the Federal Reserve system
and how it works and why it doesn't
have pictures.
Okay, there's a picture or two in there, of course, otherwise,
it'd be terrible. 1300 pages with no pictures.
Uncle Don's book has a lot of pictures. Did you know that?
Yeah,
I saw it. I have a copy.
Have you have you read the book?
I have perused the book. I have not read it. I'm right now I'm
in the process of reading Sid Caesar's autobiography. Wow.
Cool.
No, it's strange when when you when you look at the shipping
address for if you ever shipped to a friend or anything on
Amazon, yeah. And it stays
on there forever. Yeah. And
a couple people here that I've sent are dead. Oh, yeah. That's
a little strange. Don't put me on that list. That you did not
want to be on my list. Man. This is not this is not a good place
to be. Right. Well, that's good. Yes. You were going to say?
I was gonna say if we were if we go back to January 2014. Oh, I
don't think you need to do the intros anymore. Okay. All right.
This is what the news was about last year at this time. And this
I play only because, well, let me play the current clip, which
is Bill Kim play this clip. Bill kibble just won some award the
alternate, no Nobel Prize award or something is some phony
award. And Bill kibbles. The guy who just retired as the head of
three sixty.or Three, four Word 345 Whatever it is, you know,
the Law Organization is uglies that one of the two main guys
have about global warming.
Oh, that's the 350 or 420. Dude, it's 420. Org. All right,
but yeah, Bill kibble. As we
meet here today, the world is almost done with what will be
the hottest calendar year and all the years that we have
measured temperatures. 2014 saw the warmest temperatures by far
ever recorded in the Northern Pacific. It was also the year
when we learned tragically that the melt of the West Antarctic
Ice Sheet is now irreversible. 25 years ago when I wrote the
first book length account of this crisis, none of these
wounds could have been predicted. But that's because
scientists are conservative. The damage has outpaced their
forecasts every ocean including the one outside these doors is
now 30% more acidic than a generation ago.
Yeah, and 5000 feet higher water level. It's
terrible. What's going on? Yeah. This time last year, it was the
polar vortex. Yes, it was we're all freezing to death. Everybody
was a mess. And of course I had a lot of clips on it. But I only
took this one clip. Because I've I figured that while you're in
the process of slamming the story to everyone that you're
gonna freeze to death any minute. Let's go to Alabama
where the was extremely cold and let's do what the media loves to
do. We pointed out every so often and make the southerners
lay the biggest dummies ever.
And if I knew what clip I was playing would have been Oh yes,
I see it sorry.
Call cold is expected to reach into the deep south all the way
to Jasper, Alabama. And Tijuana Blaze his house.
We hate with wooden nests that we hate with this wooden
kindling to keep them warm.
And we put the chicken inside the duck and then we put the
duck inside the turkey. And we put a big beer can upside as
button and we eat that's good eatin wants some cake. So
let's make sure we keep these memes intact. Everyone in the
south Sun idiot. Yeah. And they live on kindling. Kim, and they
can barely talk and they're in a shack. I don't want to the B
roll of this was always dynamite because it was just it was
literally a shack that was on cinder blocks.
I'm loving it man. Great, fantastic.
You know, I'm back in 2024. To actually back to 2013. We were
doing a lot more of this. We were people say well, you know,
all your show does is ridicule.
You just ridicule a joke or even Yes,
we ridicule a lot of things. And but we but it's always changing.
So you never know what I asked you
a question? Who says that to you all with people all? Everybody?
Everybody says all you do is ridicule?
Well, you get an email. It's like me not listening to the
show. Because all you do is ridicule. It's
women who say this women are mad and think we all we do is
ridicule. This is my experience.
I think you might be right about and I don't know why I say that.
No, guys like hey, that was cool, man. You weren't being
nice.
Yeah, there you got women who have children perhaps are nice.
Last night, there was an Australian girl who was she was
three more months, about six months pregnant with their
second child, and she does not want to live here. I think I
guess they had their first kid in Australia. And the deal was
with her Texas husband, that they would live there. And so
they lived there for five years. And there was tension between
these two. And she was well
I get the party. Oh, yeah. Okay. And she's Australian. She's
texting.
She's Australian. He's texting. Okay. And she's incredibly cute.
With a big big belly. Just everything you want. And a
pregnant Ozzy just
beautiful. Australian women are generally great look,
yeah. But has something in there the way she talks if you just
want to, like hey, don't knife me, ya know, there's something
nice about it. And the guy is texting me he's not having this.
Well, you know, we're here now and I've never gone back to
Australia. She's saying well, I really am my kids. That could be
a dual citizen, they can get free health care if anything
happens to them. So I want to have this kid even in Australia.
In this he wants to do a water birth and now whatever. But why
did I even bring this
up? You are talking?
Right and so then I'm talking to him. What do you like Texas?
Yeah, you know, listen, San Antonio, which is not great
because he's dirty and I agree San Antonio's I'm sorry. It's
just doesn't if you can be in Austin or San Antonio, you would
choose Austin. She can't choose for whatever reason. He's in
real estate. So I bring up guns and she said, you know, well,
you know you, I liked you guys a lot until you know, you gave up
your guns and she freaked on me. I don't understand this gun
culture that just makes no sense that when you have kids going
out with basically yelling about her husband, they have a five
year old. Boy, I don't understand why the five year
olds have to go out hunting. Why did they have to go and learn
how to kill things? They can't they wait until the 10 there was
so tense man. So but I think this kind of ridicule comes from
a motherly thing. Because really what she's saying makes no sense
other than she's projecting her fear that you know, her kid's
head is gonna get shot off or something while they're out
there. Hunting which is actually quite quite unlikely because
it's, you know, he's learning gun safety at an early age and
her head is gone. But it's I think that's where it comes from
women have it's what children are involved in they can you
don't want to ridicule you don't want to piss anybody off, don't
be bullied Don't say something nasty don't say Don't say
customer
Democrats have honed in on this particular theory, which you
obviously observe in real time to get them to vote for
Democrats the Democrats are the safe party they they are against
guns they're against these things they're they're touchy
feely and they don't say mean things which is one of the
reasons that Democrats on the you know, this way MSNBC is you
know, can't is always going to fail in fact, all these liberal
progressive,
you hear that? Oh, you're gonna fail.
They have to fail because they can't be mean that which gets
attention which gets ratings. They can't be negative, which
gets ratings they can't be for ridicule. It's all touchy feely.
They can't really baloney it's all phony is what the problem
they can't ridicule, which gets ridicule. Well, we used to
ridicule everybody BS on television, and there's a guy
had one example here in your, you'll, where you'd see this
bullcrap where somebody says, Oh, there's the camera this
week. Let's get another let's widen the view of the camera and
maybe we can see or let's there are there's a mile away. There's
the guys license plate here pushed the,
like CSI. Yes. CSI rotate. Enhance. Yes, this
was an enhanced kind of bullcrap thing from the show Bones that I
pulled in January of 2013.
Yes, okay. Being overweight could actually help you live
longer. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I click the wrong
one. You see your let me explain why this is complicated. Because
you're giving me cues. But it's typically I can look at your
list. And I can just say, Oh, it's gonna be this one. But here
you've done classics.
And it's like, you have to go past that part word classic.
Yeah. Oh, to the end of the sentence. Well, when you study
and the effects of obesity,
oh, man, I'm hitting the wrong one again. Here we go. Why that
we should Brennan.
I was able to restore part of the text from the paper scraps
that you sent me. One contains a fraction 1/3 and the letters A R
G AR. It comes from the word margarine and the 1/3 is a one
on top. The papers were from a cookbook, eight different pages.
Was there any way to tell which cookbook? Yeah, I ran the
typeface through the Library of Congress database and I got the
name and the date of publication and tips on how to cook for
prisoners. It's the Gordon institutional recipe index. 1993
edition.
Yeah. And big hit the showed big hit.
What database in the Library of Congress of fonts? What I don't
know. I don't hear a library of congress database of fonts. Have
you done any research on the topic? Do I have to? Well,
you're asking the question. Maybe you should do some
research before you start ridiculing
well, we don't do that much anymore. I think with the show
Scorpion for a couple of shows. And that was it. Because that
was just idiotic. I
haven't I like I like MC fi. I like the whole concept. But like
the show The Tonight Show It's a hit show. It's a big hit show at
scorpion.
Yeah. Bull crap.
All right. But every single time we go through this conversation,
we look up the numbers and the doing 8 million 9 million
viewers.
I don't know where you getting this from is a dog score. If
you'd like to show it's fine. I don't know why you'd like to
show but
I told you here Scorpion 10 point 45 million viewers. Let's
see the most recent ones. Or they might have they might be in
repeats by now. But yeah, they're up there between eight
and 10 million viewers. John, this is not a dog. This is just
not a dog. I'm sorry. It's not it's it's a bonanza. Rather
Well, luckily, we never have to worry about that. We don't have
to have meetings. We don't have to sit down with the advertisers
to go. Yeah, we think that you probably. Hi, we're from Ford.
And we think you would do much, much better if you cut back on
the turrets talk to us people are not hiring our demo. So we
really don't like that.
I'm gonna show my school by God to no agenda. Imagine all the
people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
All right, here we go. We do have some people to thank for
show 683 including Mark Bognor who came in with a good old
mark. Who's in Schaumburg, Illinois definitely wants to be
anonymous because he sends in postal mail orders. The postal
is like you know, one of those things.
A mail order. I mean, a mail order bride a money order a mail
order, right.
I didn't get the mail order, right. I rejected her mom
already married. 35 It is a post office thing would have gotten
money
or money order MoneyGram Western Union
kind of thing. Yeah. 113579, which means something to him.
And by the way, when we mentioned that we can't mention
the names because under $49 Order and $50 You don't mention
the people, but when Sir David Foley came in with 2015 I was at
the dinner table last night somebody mentioned Oh, you must
have gotten a lot of donations for $20.15 Because that's the
obvious. Yeah. Some text of the show right
and
one
then let me let me guess was this our marketing department
who

Subodh John and Adam. Your combined new Dieter read this.
Your combined News Analysis is the minute you combine News

quality is phenomenal. John's grouchiness is stupefying. The
synchronicity between you two is spectacular. You now have a few
more words to use instead of

As either way. Martin is Mark Bognor 13579. Yes, odd numbers.
Okay. Oh, yeah. So the our marks always up to something. Giles
Pavao Ziele. Gil,
I just want to be as you is from Paris. We have calls. His name

Did you just want ever me?
I know. I wanted no I didn't. I wanted to pass along a hand Got
my oh yeah, he sent me a poem that apparently was passed
around the office that the government paid to have written.
Oh, he works in procurement. I'm not going to read the whole
poem, but I want to mention, I'm going to scan it and put it in
the next newsletter.
Oh, I love that. Long as it How long is it?
It's well, let me read a couple of the first verses the holiday
season, a time for good cheer is not a poem by the way, it's a
rhyme for eggnog and parties for friends to be near. But I must
be careful lest I accept free a gift not permitted no matter how
we part 2635 Of the three CFB explains in detail the relevant
bar, it defines the term gift to mean all things worth money.
That that will assume that that sound is the hook. Yeah. But
this will be in the newsletter.
And I do want to point out since I heard you say it, there are
two sacred, non sacred texts but we pronounce major as major and
poem as poem. But I say No, you said poem that was beautiful. I
loved it.
I say poem, poem and measure. Now the one thing that people
there's there's poem, poem and flame
point, that's, I would I would qualify point valid as well.
I don't like point and the reason is because it was in high
school, so I never heard the pronunciation but in high
school, somebody mentioned that they hated it. And I said, you
hate what? The pronunciation of polam as point and I said, I
never heard that. I've never heard it since. But and of
course, it's Iran. And Iran and Iraq, Afghanistan. Well, we do
have a pronunciation thing coming up. Somebody wants, in
fact that it was I think it was Ramsey was Ramsey's thing in
here. Because there was another he was doing a pronunciation, no
agenda. She wants me to pronounce three words. Okay. He
wants me to pronounce milk. Ilana Milk, milk, Illinois. And
pillow. Now he puts this in his notes specifically to get me to
mispronounce GA them or to pronounce them as Illinois
style. So it's not Illinois, it's Illinois. Milk. And pelo
and don't forget Washington. Well, Washington. I've never
heard anyone actually
do it all the time. What you Oh, you always say Washington weapon
Washington. Okay. All right. Well, and there's no 10 million
viewers for Scorpion either. Can you say Milk?
Milk? Milk. Alright, onwards, what it means is I think he's
trying to make fun of me knowing that I pronounced his of the
Chicago style. But I know how to pronounce the words correctly,
but I can do both. So I just to make it clear that his
Wisconsinites you know who think is hilarious? Because they
pronounce everything like that crazy talk?
Yeah. All right. All right where it was, I don't know.

Over wait could actually help you live longer? That's
according to a controversial new study into the effects of
obesity. Researchers in the United States say carrying a few
extra pounds might actually reduce your risk of an early
death. Guys, health correspondent Thomas Moore
explains.
A new year and a new determination to get fit and
lose weight for those extra pounds from Christmas indulgence
could in fact be a lifesaver. He Research shows people who are a
little overweight are less likely to die prematurely than
those who stay slim, contradicting the long standing
advice of most doctors.
It's good to have a little bit of body fat. You should be
trying to stay at a very low weight. But it's like everything
else in moderation. That has to be uttered. Excuse My French
it's just we don't get this stuff.
This was two years ago. Yeah. To the day almost. And then do we
haven't heard anything of this sense because this is no good.
through this life South Korean selling them weapon we need to
keep these diet pills and drugs and gyms and spinning classes
and all the Hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, no need to stay
in business so nuts don't even talk about anything like this is
crazy. Did you
see Taylor Swift's gift giving of 2014 video?
What a promotional genius this woman is.
I mean, I had tears in my eyes this week.
I did not see it because I refuse to watch any more Taylor
Swift stuff. Well, she was like in the news everywhere. She I
don't know who her publicist is. But she's, I'm sure they work
together because this is not something that any one person
can accomplish.
I think FedEx was also involved a lot of signage for FedEx
everywhere. Yeah. But, boy, I just love this girl now, as much
as I'd ridiculed her in the beginning,
and you should continue to ridicule her on a banger.
Sorry. Little girls hearts around the country just went
crack. Is it well worth it? I put it on the Real News
category.
Any little girl who's a big Taylor Swift Fan, I can assure
you does not listen to this show.
Right? Well, so if you watch this video, you'll see all these
girls. Taylor sent them Christmas gifts and some even a
Hanukkah gift. And they're all wearing they're brand new is so
obvious. They're brand new Taylor Swift T shirts, and while
they're opening their gifts,
Ah, wow, what a coincidence would have thought.
But there's it's so cute and but then tailors in her in her
Manhattan pad. Packing all these gifts up? Well, she's packing up
so
yeah, she's packing up. One.
Now a couple that she writes a little handwritten notes. And uh
huh. And she's just as cute as a button. I gotta say I've been
infiltrated.
Yeah, you've been corrupted. I've been violated and crispy
media
violated and corrupted. Taylor Swift has finally gotten to me.
I can't help it. I'm now I'm just I'm all team Taylor.
Taylor. Taylor. Yeah. Hey, let's do a couple other things before
we get out of here. First Oh, yeah. So both girls are gone. At
the State Department.
On vacation, they need to have a New Year's party.
But who is there who is in the trenches in pole position? Carry
our man man.
Oh, man. Oh, man. Still there? Yes. Oh, yeah. works. We got to
do.
And so there's this this douche? Who's, who's filling in these
actually the Press Office Director? I don't know. Is he
above? Is he Jen? And? And
from the sounds of it? Yes. He would be there. Because
for What a moron. Okay, so it starts off like this. This, you
may not, you may have missed this little loose little ditty
that occurred in auto mania, but also known as Turkey. You may
have missed this little ditty where, you know, when I was
seeing your Hamas representative, I was hanging
out in this NATO ally country known as a turkey. They're a
they are an official terrorist organization, according to our
State Department. So if you're the director of press for the
State Department, you might expect a question about this.
Oh, wow, what happened there a second.
They blew up the State Department.
Anything to say about the prime minister of Turkey meeting and
spending significant time with senior leader of Hamas?
I don't think I have any any comment to offer on that. I'm
happy to see if we have more room doubt to but the nothing,
nothing to add right now. Right at this point?
You think someone would have a tab for that? Don't? Yeah, yeah.
Then of course, Matt isn't having none of this Matt Lee, a
diplomatic reporter. But a superhero of the C span. He is a
star we should get his own walk of star star Walk of Fame star.
Can you can you push really hard to get an answer on this?
Because it seems kind of unusual that the Prime Minister of a
NATO ally of yours is meeting with the head or the political
chief of a southern organization that you designate as a
terrorist group. And you guys don't have any thing to say no,
we'll come back with
something this afternoon for you.
We'll come back something this afternoon. Well, so this
afternoon they came back and let's continue with our little
saga here with the bossman douche dickhead and Matt Lee. We
continue to raise our concerns about the relationship between
Hamas and In Turkey, with senior Turkish officials, including
after learning of, of how the Michelle's recent recent visit
there. Now, how would you retort to what he just said, if you are
madly?
Oh, I might ask him that this doesn't mean anything or what do
you mean? Are you further explain? I just say that that's
what I would say. Well,
I mean, this is that the extent of it, you just say, we're
concerned. I mean, this is the this is a NATO ally, hosting an
avowed enemy of one of your biggest allies.
Well, we have urged the Government of Turkey to press
the mosque to reduce tensions and prevent violence.
It's almost I got an urge, man, don't do that. No more. Okay,
stop it. But we raised this at sea levels with with our Turkish
counterparts. And
do you think that an invitation to him in the prime minister of
Turkey receiving Him and welcoming him is an indication
that your concerns are being addressed?
Do you love this guy or what? Yeah, well, he
does what he's supposed to. It's what everyone's supposed to be
doing? Well, he's
the only one doing it. Well, I think you can draw your own
conclusions from that. But certainly, we take Hamas as a
terrorist organization very seriously. That's why they're a
designated FTO. Foreign Terrorist Organization. Yeah.
Well, you know, here's what Matt needs to be careful of getting
killed like Helen.
He's, like Helen is being set up. Yes. Fires.
Yes, yes. And then you die. Well, she died of old age, but
you, but she was and it was very sad. It was sad. She got
flattered. And
I was like, going over the list of major stories of the whole
last year, and the ones that have been forgotten, and there's
a whole slew of them. And of course, it compares a lot
differently to what you have on the Yahoo's top stories, which
seem to be all celebrity news.
Well, they know they're doing it right if you want, right? We do.
Yeah.
But you know, besides Snowden, North Korea, the dish, the GM
ignition switch the polar vortex boring. Uh, Michael Brown. I
can't breed Ray Rice, but the one that seems to be kind of
forgotten to is the oh, that we forgot about the Olympics.
nobody even talks about that anymore. No, and the ice bucket
ice bucket challenge that was pretty stupid. Okay, as Berg
Berg bore bowl, Bergdorf and exchange for the guy who's now
runs, we, we buy our theory assume that this one superstar
drug guy that was in Gitmo was released to take over the drug
business. So I found that this clip was kind of interesting,
because it was kind of kind of slipped in, in a democracy now
report and this is the targeting drug dealers in Afghanistan clip
which says to me, you know, they were things are back to kind of
without our people there, I think things are going to be
fine. A new report
has revealed to kill this us by the US led NATO coalition and
Afghanistan targeted not only high level commanders of the
Taliban, but mid and lower level operatives and even drug
dealers, the secret documents, at least some of which came from
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden span from 2009 to 2011.
According to the German news magazine, Der Spiegel, which
reviewed them they showed targeted killings were quote,
not just viewed as a last resort to prevent attacks, but were in
fact part of everyday life and the guerrilla war in
Afghanistan. In one case, a young boy was killed in his
father injured by a British helicopter pilot who was
targeting a suspected mid level Taliban commander. Hmm.
So all along we've been you know, the part of the game is to
target Yeah, I echo the Taliban guys, there's one of these
renegade drug dealers doing business on the side, which
we've got nothing to do with.
And American hero is another sacred text as in a movie that
people should watch was an American hero.
I don't know what American hero is.
American no American drug kingpin. Come on. Denzel
Washington. America was the movie. Yeah. American.
Gangster gangster Thank you American Gangster. That's a true
story. And it's a true story. And yeah, it's a very it's a
true story. And as everyone should watch that if you're
gonna watch documentaries, I was watching the last night it was
tuned up some time in God route we trust which is a documentary
about Bernie Madoff also, also good and it turns the end when
you watch this. I
have some clips it was this. I haven't seen it's it's on
Netflix. It
was on our TV. Yeah, it's on Netflix. I think God it's called
The In God we trust. Very interesting. It turns out that
the Madoff Ponzi scheme was actually a front for a money
laundering operation.
There's gambling going on. And so
it's, it's fascinating. And I would if anyone gets a shot at
that, I would, I would check it out. I don't really have
anything, a clip from it. I thought I did. I do have this
clip. So this is interesting. This came out of a bunch of NSA
stuff. Now this could be a red herring and bull crap, just to
make you think that this doesn't work. But I thought the
encryption works clip is worthless. And where's this from
democracy. Now, again, this came from Democracy Now.
Meanwhile, another round of documents from Snowden published
by Der Spiegel show some encryption tactics have
successfully thwarted spying by the National Security Agency.
And NSA document describes, quote, catastrophic levels of
difficulty penetrating the communications of users who
employed a combination of different encryption
technologies.
Well, what is your feeling? What is your feeling on this? Well, I
know TrueCrypt, which was taken off the market brought us to
promote the idea of multiple encryptions, one on top of the
other. So you take this type, and then you combine it with
this type, and you combine it with a third type is possible
that that creates a problem in terms of decrypting. You know,
by heart, you know, taking the biggest machines you can and
going after the, your, your password? I don't know, I think
it could be bull crap that they finally figured out how to do
that. Or it might actually work. I just think a combination of
high crypt numbers, you know, 256, this and then plus, this is
another crazy thing. And another one, I can't be that easy to
decrypt? Well, I think the here's, here's the only thing
really, that is important. Look at what happened with Sony, and
be you know, the smallest things, and I have lots of stuff
in my email that would could be very, very embarrassing to you,
John, if that ever came out. So, you know, it should be just good
practice that you just learn to encrypt and decrypt stuff that
you're sending that no, no one wants to help people do this.
Just no one wants to help. So although I will say Apple
get a knock on the door, if you I mean, that guy who did PGP was
harassed for years. Zimmerman, Zimmerman. Yeah.
Well, he I think didn't he eventually just buckle. Maybe.
Yeah, that's the word. Random carry. Now to do the same for
and now, I never realized that they panned left and right. Oh,
the knocking? Mine is left and yours is right. That's kind of
That's funny. That's good. Well, I don't know. I will say Apple's
mail application, in conjunction with GPG tools is pretty
stunning. Because when someone sends you an email it
automatically and I haven't I don't I have yet to see it fail,
will parse out find this person's public key. And when
you reply, it just works. You don't have to go rooting around
searching key servers, it does it. And it adds it to your view
your GPG keys. And I find that that is the closest I've seen to
being any good. By the way at the Spiegel which democracy now
is quoted now twice in two of these clips. The Spiegel their
spiel, as Amy says, you know, their their crack reporting
team, as witnessed by the tweets from I O error. That's Jacob
Appelbaum. Our new story on mass surveillance in the kill list in
the Spiegel, me and Laura reporting. kwatra. What are they
reporting? They
just have the Snowden document that their mouth that they're
parroting. Yeah, but
there's reporters there, Spiegel, the new team new
reporting is a little achy. The Applebaum was a promoter, you
don't think he's really a journalist who should be
receiving let me see if they get it. If they get it. By law. They
get awards. Oh, yeah. They get all kinds of awards. Let me see
if they get the Oh, okay. That's funny. So he has to hype himself
because it says Obama's list the dubious history of targeted
killings in Afghanistan by Spiegel staff. Oh, that's us,
man. It's really me and Laura Poitras, ha yeah, That's lame.
That's very lame. It's not lame. It's just super lame.
super lame. But it didn't give us a byline to get a byline.
That really sucks Mom. Let me see this other one. And here he
says secret Houma this is quite funny actually connecting
hashtag NSA mass surveillance. I'm sorry, following up to their
at their Spiegel reporting at Laura Poitras, and at I O error
talk at oh three one c three. Did you see this thing? Did you
hear about this three CTV?
No, Ah,
crap. I gotta look at this. This is the i this i missed and I
feel bad about it. There was another one of these conferences
from the Chaos Computer Computer Club in Berlin. And the Assange,
his girlfriend did another speech. So we have to ridicule I
just haven't had time to.
Okay, well, we'll put it on the next round. It's on the agenda
for John there's no agenda on Sunday. Yes. And
I will ridicule Okay, good. Yeah, point draw and wait for
you to get it get
get into it. Yeah,
I'm never getting laid ever again in my life.
Okay, that's good.
Yeah, nice.
Fine. make even more tense. I'm doing okay. Well, Jay, good luck
to Taylor Swift.
Oh, I would like to point out that Russia I have to say the
shout stream is not dead as far as I'm concerned. There's a
there's all kinds of reports of Russia's Gazprom now bought 50%
stake in this I got this from Europe obviously the South
Stream transport BV which is a Dutch Corporation BVs or Dutch
corporations. So now it is 100% owner of the South Stream
transport BV these are the guys were doing the some of the
pipelines and the transport of the South Stream. I wonder if
it's a buyout or if it's just an opportunity I'm keeping my eye
on it. Anything could go right Turkey is up and up in the air
right now you know turkeys doing strange stuff. Then we have
Academy confirms that they will be training the Ukrainian
military for street fighting.
Whether they expect to be going on I guess you're gonna move
into that area where they're
going. We know they've been there. We've have all the videos
of people literally pointing at them and going Blackwater
Blackwater
Academy we got nothing to do with it though. Oh, no, no, no,
that's
all Putin and here it is. The meme of the day put it in the
book. We we've had revisionist Russia. And now you probably
heard where he had this. This possible political foe ALEXEI
NAVALNY arrested by his brother's arrest. I think he has
house arrest. The end Are you ready for the mean? You got the
deal of the book?
I got the pen.
Putin goes medieval
they come up with something better than
that is popping up everywhere.
What is he doing that makes him go medieval. Is he eating
turducken. There you go.
No, ma'am. This is about throwing your political
opponents in jail. That's medieval. And Miss sounds cool.
This is this is um this is coming from somewhere. Hold on.
Let's do a search. Putin. Mid evil. How do we spell medieval?
Unless the question Yeah,
the central question. MEDIEV a l and MMEDIEVL. Medieval medieval
Alright, Putin now taking his rival family members hostage
like a medieval King. There's the first story. Putin goes
medieval on the Russian opposition. Putin getting
medieval. Nice Putin goes medieval on Russian opposition.
What else do we have?
What's interesting is to it goes both. Putin is getting medieval
Putin goes medieval Putin goes medieval Putin goes medieval.
This is all the this is coming out of everywhere. Yeah. This is
the source.
That's the hard part. I don't know
where it goes video, the biggest site. Could be the getting comes
from Newser. And Putin goes video comes from Bloomberg. Find
out find a sentence in here and maybe we can figure this out.
Well, that's obviously going around. Do you
do that and I'll watch the computer chaos club to ridicule.
All right, we're We're in business. Does
that sound like a deal?
15 looks like a winner. Yeah.
Starting off with a Baba Baba bang, everybody. Very nice
Hey, John, I have to say the year starts off good when the
first person I physically speak to is you know, it's good. It's
not bad. It's not bad. It's not bad. It's not bad. I'm happy.
I'm happy.
Well, I'm happy to that we get another year underway here with
some good stuff coming up. I think you're just gonna be
loaded.
I think so too. It's great. We live in great times my friend.
Last night, your celebration we were in had some champagne, and
it toasted the surveillance state keeps no agenda in
business.
I to toast the police state of the United States of Gitmo
nation proud of it. And I'm here in FEMA Region six. My name is
Adam curry in the morning, everybody.
And Mills Yeah, I
said being the Morning everybody. I'm Adam Courtenay.
Oh, okay. Well, then from Northern Silicon Valley, where
it is also the polluted part of the giant police state, which
works like a champ. I'm John C. Dvorak. We'll
be back on Sunday, right here. On no agenda
works just first and foremost. It's such an amazing feeling.
And the fact that it gets acknowledged in any way is
pretty amazing. The Golden Globe is even cooler because my sister
got nominated to so that's pretty amazing. That is it was
worth it didn't go boom. There's no real conference. Adios
