the podcast or a curry. Okay, so we don't we should also say

way for some reason.
Yeah. Somebody mentioned that on the tweeters and I don't know
what's going on guys just he'll help you fix it.
Deena But have you noticed this everyone's saying the Prophet
Muhammad the prophet Malachi, I'll
notice it now but I'd have not yet Oh, Stan.
Hey, you just sit there just wondering Can you just say their
holy man their their god know that the guy who talked about
the God, there Moses, it would he be like, Are there Moses? No,
no. All right. The Prophet Mohammed, the podcasts are a
curry. The podcaster DeVore actually, that sounds good. The
pod curry is too short about the podcast C Dvorak. Sounds good.
Yeah, does I think don't take on that moniker. And by the way,
the podcasting awards are coming up. You hope people nominate us
every single year we give it another try. Yeah, yeah, that's
nice. We have more chance of winning Miss USA then we do a
podcast award. Well, you
never know it could happen. Things can change.
Ah bones jewelers, young Claude. It has been a journey. You know,
most of us have have you know, pretty good. Yeah. And
everyone's talking French these days is the big thing you know?
Yeah. Well, good. People need to talk more French and we were so
disappointed with John Kerry. With his with his French I
really was astounded how poor his French really? Is. That to
the bones. Yeah. And not only that, this is this is how Carrie
thinks the carry is seriously. Hello 1970 We would like our
musical icons back. So Carrie has to go to Paris to give all
on the Big hug which he did. And if you saw that video, very
uncomfortable, very uncomfortable. Oh, yeah. Kerry's
like trying to
hold him to his boots. Yes,
yeah. And Alonzo I would say,
you know, you know how you go in for like a cheek kiss and you
and you do the wrong one and you do like your your lips almost
touched because you're both trying to go for the same cheek.
That's kind of what happened. That's kind of what happened to
the lips. I'm gonna I'm gonna call you back. Joe. We got like
the simplex thing going on for a second. Unless I'm gonna call
you back. Won't take but a minute won't have to edit a
single thing. We just want to improve your experience. There
we go. Just want to make a bet. Yeah. You change your icon
again. Now why are you this? You the only person I know who
changes the art on his Skype every other week?
Why?
Why? Why do you do this to me? So John Kerry. Does this whole
thing with this uncomfortable hug? And he brings him in again.
He's like,
like, gamma double hug.
Yeah, kind of. Yeah. And John Kerry
had something to do with like, as we'll see, when you're in
certain parts of Europe, you kiss both sides, you
know? Or three or three or three? Well, yeah, I guess you
could do three the Netherlands is is being on three kisses.
Three, three. Yeah.
Well, how's it go? Right, left, right, or right, left left?
That's the whole that's the whole thing. That depends on who
was the dominant player in the in the embrace?
Is an embrace in a kiss. Yeah, you
so I like to grab people by the shoulders. And then I can steer
them but it's like
you're granting him honors or something? I grant you a kiss.
Please do not smudge my sash.
Yeah. So carry goes to this.
It's Kiss Kiss Kiss. You're kidding me? No, no. In the
Netherlands. It's one too many kisses.
It's interesting that people you don't know. It depends on the
setting. But if it was, let's say I'm meeting my friend's best
friend and she's female. Then I would say oh and my friend get a
cheap extra kiss. Yeah.
Really?
Yeah. It's terrible.
Nevermind I won't explain it then No, no, I
want to hear I want to hear I need to know this because I'm
obviously making a mistake because my thinking was it was
always either one or two depending on the culture. I've
never heard three that you're completely blown my mind.
Okay, so one, but I do one here in America. One unless I wanted
to show that I'm from Europe. Excuse me. I'm doing too. We are
slaves to the you get another chance. I'm sorry to be holding
on to you a little longer than appropriate. But I need the
other cheek. It's some from Europe.
Does it include a slap on the butt?
Yeah, from Europe.
But this is a custom This is a culture please do not miss
it. This is one on the cheeks and one on the butt. Exactly.
Yeah. No, but
I'm serious. I've never heard that.
In the Netherlands. It is. It is actually the if you know someone
if you really don't know someone, you're going to kiss
them more than if you do know someone so if you know someone
you're very familiar. Hey, well done. And men still occasionally
kiss I there's some men that I kiss on the cheek in Europe.
Occasionally.
I've seen that. Yeah, but not three.
Not so no. No, that'd be the dude. What are you doing? I back
off. Back off. jagoff not Is that gonna happen? Alright, so
carry does this very uncomfortable thing. And when
you look at his face on profile, and profile, it is really his
mouth isn't in chin. It's also flat and you can just it looks
like if you're close to him, I'll bet he has those white
strands of goo in the corner of his mouth. So that's why Alon is
like, Oh, get back away from me. He's crazy American. And so to
make up for this incredible faux pa Of Missing Out not having our
president or vice president or even our Secretary of State
marching in solidarity in the little enclave known as the
leaders of the free world who for our for free speech. He
brought to James Taylor. James Taylor. Yes, he brought James
Taylor to sing. You've got a friend. But I think James
Taylor lives in Paris.
He brought James Taylor to the to the podium. To the whole
affair. Why to say I'm sorry. You've got a friend France you
are our friend.
here's the here's the tail end of it. This brings some
hate James James. I know about him Jason, but you gotta come
over man. He's fucking French. They're like they're freaking
out. You gotta look man. Just do me a solid just singing say
someone French at the end. Okay, just say something in French.
Oh, it was all up there. Yes. You got a friend. Dona me Illa
on me and Doremi Faso Lottie
doe
you've got a friend in French. Jason That's so pathetic. Bring
Jay Z or something. Hey, James Taylor. Maybe that maybe someone
said hey, you should bring Jay Z. Yeah. James because James
good idea. We didn't hear right. That is fabulous.
Three kisses thing is only in Holland. You'd never know. This
has not existed anywhere else. This
Belgium. Oh, the bell bells. The
bells. Yeah. Belgium. Denmark. I wouldn't know. I don't think
I've ever been to Denmark. I've been to Sweden. I've been to
Norway. Denmark is pretty. It's pretty everyone's depressed in
Denmark. You could be the place itself. I was reading an article
where it was it might have been the times depressed and it was
about Denmark and how liberal thinkers in certainly in the
United States always say Oh, Denmark, you know they got
school is free. Everybody's got the same amount of money. Or
outrageous. Nobody's better than the other person. Everybody's
equal. There's free health care. There's free. Free everything.
And everybody's depressed. There's really
no get any donations from Denmark. Rarely I think we have
one Copenhagen's points a good point. Very good point. It says
no depressed. They should listen to our show. And they live in up
in a heartbeat, by the way, so I have a possible prediction here
or something. I don't I think something bad's gonna happen.
Wow. John,
do you need a whole book page for this to put this in? And and
what do you think it would be something here in America were
no no, this is I think Obama going to India to take part In
their Independence Day celebration, that's it. I can't
find a good clip for to play. I just I think it's just a bad
idea. I think it's a security problem.
Well, the first problem that I've been following because of
course, I come from the region is what? No, I do not come from
India. Now I come from the European region. Yeah, this is
where things are actually happening. Unless you want upon
Do you want to move on more about India or you want to stay?
No, no, I just
think he's going to this thing to be like a big deal. And then
there's a bunch of add some clips anyway. He's good buddies
with Modi. Oh, you know, why
is because of the bull crap. No, it's pure Omni car drive. My
cars guy is, is the personal advisor to Modi. I didn't know
this. Yes. We've talked about it a couple times on the show.
Yeah. Pierre on new car guys. He I think he was he was a general
manager of something or of the media or Institute saying
philanthropy. Whatever.
We're on our job game
today. No, I know that this guy. Right, exactly. This is what's
happening in Europe, though, and I found this to be very
interesting to then read how the Dutch are dealing with it. Your
F
is on high alert following anti Terror Raids in several
countries. Across Belgium, France and Germany. More than 20
people have been arrested on terrorism related charges.
Belgium has become the latest country to deploy troops after
five people were charged with participating in the activities
of a terrorist group.
Which means what is that? Is that running around with flags
in white shoes in the dead driving Toyota's what exactly is
participating in a terrorist we
go to trucks with machine guns on the back of
Belgian authorities are looking for this man. 27 year old Abdel
Hamid about who lived in Brussels before reportedly going
to fight in Syria he's now thought to be in Greece. About
is suspected of having links to a terrorist cell that was
dismantled during raids in the eastern town of their VA on
Thursday night. Police in Germany have also stepped up
security after receiving warnings of a heightened risk of
attacks on Central Railway stations, specifically in Berlin
and Dresden. The warnings followed the arrests of two men
in anti Terror Raids on Friday, everywhere on
every TV news channel. I'm seeing these maps of Europe and
they now that keep mentioning the Netherlands. Oh the
Netherlands? Oh yes, the Netherlands is anything that
happened and of course by
the way what's happened Well nothing been a razor anywhere
attack anything is secondary attack. Are they ganging up on
it? Oh, ladies, anything going on?
I can tell you the population the Dutch population is so
confused. Because their their politicians are saying yes, we
must be vigilant. Meanwhile, Belgium they have done the same
it's like Dallas and Houston it's kind of the same country
you can get there in depending on up from Amsterdam you get to
Belgium you can walk backwards so it's very close by the
languages of similar you know, that's like Dallas and Houston
as it truly is that kind of compare languages are similar
similar. We use the same money, but they've now gotten the
military on the streets. And the Dutch only I don't think they
haven't military anymore. There's loud looking for the
bicycles from 50 years ago. And the Dutch if you read online
comments on on these news articles, of course, they're
online comments. People are they what they just don't understand
why is their government not doing anything similar to the
neighbors? And they everyone feels it can only be a matter of
time before something happens in the Netherlands, which is not
uncommon. The first really big Muslim things happen there. With
Taillefer Hall. Yeah, when was that? 2000 2001 Oh, yeah, this
is this is a wall of 13 years ago. Yeah. Now I understand why
you mock and why you scoff. But the Netherlands is of course a
prime. Well, look, they're great. You know, you can you can
blow a plane out of the sky. And no one complains about it. Yeah.
It's been six months, no blind
crap to the black box, which they did recover. Yes. What was
the what did the report say there? I have not seen aviation
expert I want to know,
as the resident radiation expert, I have not seen a
report. I have only read that people. I'm going to tell you I
have read that people who have seen the result of the black
box, say that it is consistent with massive decompression and
some form of penetration of the hall from the outside da da what
it doesn't say is yeah, that was a BUK missile launcher from the
Russia. They were they were they're trying And that's, of
course, there's something in there that is not not good for
the rest of the world to know. So we're never really actually
going to see it.
But that sucks.
This works in closely with Greece where apparently there's
also all kinds of Muslim terrorists in Greece is pretty
much dead now, but might as well throw some terrorism on him
Athens and a night in custody for for terrorist suspects being
held by Greek police. One was initially thought to be the
ringleader of an Islamist militant cell in Belgium. But
the authorities there are now saying they do not believe that
wanted man is among those being held. The arrests come as Europe
remains on a heightened terror alert alert for the first time
in more than 35 years. troops are on the streets of the
Belgian capitol. Yeah, around 300 have been deployed in
Brussels and Antwerp to guard sensitive sites. Among them the
European Commission building the US Embassy and synagogues.
So deployment of for the moment to companies of the of defense
in support of the national police force, the thoughts that
have been given as a task of static defense of specific
locations and the people on the focus static defense.
You have time for a long clip. You can interrupt it as much as
you want, but I want to play it Sure. So I'm watching. I don't
know what this was obviously, the French one. It was one of
the many I don't think it was it may have been France 24 or
whatever the case. This is the this is the real time dossier.
With a meme at the end, which is I didn't realize was a meme
until I heard it in this report, because I've been hearing this
the meme, which is you've heard it to modernity. No, no, no,
not. The meme is it takes 25 to 35 cops to surveil one guy.
Oh, yeah. This is a Giuliani thing.
Right? That's where I think yeah, I think you're right.
Giuliani because we need more cops we need more money more
money more money.
More money is what a monster but it this meme shows up here. So
this this cocky this is this is a cock and bull story about the
French guys who shot the shot up by Charlie Hebdo and then go
over the grocery store and how they were intertwined for years.
Apparently the French are all over this. Yeah, for a decade.
And then they show they unwind this French real time dossier.
I'm listening to this. This is this is a long clip you have to
interrupt it. I'm listening to this thing. This is bull crap
reef and his older brother Saeed, sons of Algerian
immigrants were orphaned at a young age.
It's already It already sounds like the surname so now if
brothers doesn't it? Yeah. So oh, crap
background.
I'm still trying to get over the the ID card in the in the
automobile.
Was was priceless. It's like you got an ID card you can leave
behind. What was it doing out? Oh, we had to go to a toll booth
or something and show you I don't know what the point was.
He was buying cigarettes
and I got ID
Center for Vulnerable and troubled youngsters. So he was
interested in Hotel Management. Should we hope to be an
engineer, there was some training, but not much success,
a sense of place or purpose. This peaceful park in the
neighborhood of boot shomo change that. It's here that the
process of radicalization seems to have begun. But a decade ago,
a group of young Muslim men were jogging
other sports and 2005 These guys were already known by the cops
there.
But they were coming with a man from this neighborhood a self
taught radical cleric.
Ah, self taught radical cleric.
Yeah, I litter
to a nearby mosque. And plans are being laid to recruit young
men to go and fight against American troops in Iraq. puttied
Benya to was the mentor.
And by the way, I will say of all the reporting that I've
seen, I have watched an incredible amount over the past
48 hours. No doubt, no doubt, particularly in France, but I
can see it happening in Spain. I can see it happening all over
the EU. No doubt if if everyone has is out of a job. The youth
unemployment is so incredibly high. You know, it's like we
just sitting around here Hey, hey, I got an idea. Let's go to
Syria. Let's just go fight. Doesn't even matter. Just go
fight somebody. Yeah, whatever. If I think you can convince
anybody to the to do that within a week, probably Hey, you know,
we're pretty damn good convincing kids to join the US
Armed Services to go protect our freedoms. Yeah, if
that guy who that Kyle, the mysterious death of the sniper,
the American Sniper guy, they brought them by the way, I don't
know if this is just a ticket to a side trip here, I'm starting
to notice is on C span they did the interview with a guy who a
year before he died. And then on NBC News, they had this guy
there did an interview with him a year before he died, the Kyle
character who wrote the American Sniper, and I'm watching this
over and over again, the guy did have some interesting stories
about how he was recruited. But this is Clint Eastwood at his
absolute best Yes, getting pre promotion for the Oscars. If he
wins, because he's been, I've only seen a couple of these. I
know they're all over the place. Because Eastwood's an old
Hollywood Pro, yes. He knows how these awards work. And he's got
to do he hires the best people. And they are dropping this old
interview of a dead guy from all over the place,
not to jump the gun on another segment. But I was looking into
Leon Panetta has a new civil thing, which is the Panetta
Institute, which is a think tank, of course out here in
California. And guess who's on the board of advisors? Who Clint
Eastwood and his wife. Oh, yeah, of course. Of course. All right.
Let's get back to this a French thing.
A janitor in his 20s who's really interested was Jihad
that of course, I mean, you can't be interested in all
janitors. Yes. We need to screen all janitors now. Kids parents
tell your kids to be keep an eye out for that janitor guy.
Some jogging and weapons training didn't demand too much.
But Francis Lemond newspaper called it the first school for
jihad. This group became known by security services is the boot
Shamal network. The music
of the music dude.
One of the leaders was this self taught Imam Pareek minyak to
these guys are all homeschooled. Man. This is
when you go to med Sharif Karachi in 2004 at the local
mosque. When you're later, cool. She was part of the network. It
was arrested preparing to leave for Syria on route to Iraq.
During his time in prison, he met up at Coulibaly, who was
serving time for armed robbery. It's believed that in prison,
both men met another key figure in their radicalization Jamel
beguiled. He's a French Algerian jihadist jailed in 2001, for a
planned attack on the US Embassy in Paris. And this is another
key meeting. During the Charlie Hebdo attack. The Kobayashi
brothers say they're part of an al Qaeda network.
Now, there's a lot of stuff in here that is background that I'm
not sure how they know this. Where did they get that
question? I'm asking this is very, very peculiar that they
have all this information. Yeah, to the
knowledge to the minute Oh, and then on Tuesday, well, having
lunch in prison, it truly met another man. He truly is
exactly like all the dramatized patients we've seen of the
Boston bombing brothers. Yeah, this is the music and then what
did this how did they go black and white and all like security
cam footage and stuff?
Well, they had a lot
of B roll that was just a just B roll. Yeah, yeah, a lot of B
roll like people in the desert training.
And then later in this report, as you'll hear, they talked
about it. And then we have surveillance photos. Guys
want to hear it on here, how Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula,
or AQAP. In 2009, Sitecore. She had traveled to Yemen to receive
training. He met the charismatic American born cleric Anwar al
aulaqi.
It's almost like they pull this thing off and then they send you
know an old tattered kind of frayed script.
Today Yes, one name and other they had it Allah walkie and
gotta get
that in. I was then leading AQAP because
that justifies killing an American citizen without due
process. It's so obvious.
No, it's just subtle. The southern one more subtle. hint
that it was okay. Yeah, justification.
hamdulillah Salatu was Salam ALA and
walkie later killed in an American drone strike. It
repeatedly called for attacks against Western targets. That
included the killing of cartoonists who insult the
Prophet Muhammad.
I never was lucky.
I've never heard that from him
killing it cartoonists
I. I don't believe I've seen that video. Maybe he mentioned
it at his luncheon speaking game.
Get the Pentagon. Yeah, so I'm sure I have a clip about that
too.
How annoying is it that these things happen but uh, yet I
never really brought back up by the media. You know, it's like,
I saw some official guys, I'm Lieutenant General say he was
not a cleric. He was a fake cleric. He was a speaker at the
Pentagon at a luncheon. Doesn't anyone find that peculiar? He's
not just some random guy. I have been a lot of places in my life.
Let me think no Pentagon haven't received an invitation recently.
You
know, no, no wonder why not radical
kinship with Jamal Begala that brought the Kawachi brothers and
Coulibaly onto the radar of the French security services after
they were released from prison. The surveillance photographs
just released shoulder three men regularly met big owl in the
south of France. He was widely connected, considered one of the
main recruiters for al Qaeda in Europe. He also spent time in
London, but when a trail of suspicious activity by the
Karachi brothers and Koulibaly seem to tail off, so six months
ago, did the surveillance. Why?
Whoa, it's very simple. It's because there are many more
people like him than there are resources. You know, it takes 20
to 30 police officers to track a suspect 24/7.
Right. So they were on him. They are they're on his case. But
they had to stop because he didn't have enough guys didn't
have enough money. Yeah, guys, money. Same thing.
Here. We can have our own little spooky music and we talk about
these things. So the thing and I was following doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo. So here's what I've been following. First of
all, the whole Muslim Jew, Palestine, Israel, Arab Jew,
Zionist. This is everywhere now. And it's not just me observing
it. It truly is. showing up everywhere. Here's a story. I'm
gonna see who wrote this, where this was published about a
cartoonist in 2009, who worked at Charlie Hebdo, who was fired
for his anti semitic cartoons mocking the relationship of
Sarkozy son with some wealthy Jewish woman. And so he's now
out and about running around saying, Hey, what is this
freedom of speech? bullcrap. As long as it's not about the Jews.
Then there is the
accent. We have a clip that kind of relates to that, but go on.
Well, here's
the clip that I had, which I just love from MSNBC. And it's
very hard to get that from MSNBC because really no one would
nobody watches anymore. So no one is saying, oh, yeah, hey,
man, there's some some you need to watch. Except maybe for from
the Rev. Guy. Still people watch him. That's crazy. And this is
MSNBC mocking the theory that he's now prevalent in, in places
around Paris, that this was an Israeli plot. It wasn't Israeli
plot that is that is Mossad, Mossad. Well, they don't mention
Mossad. But even better here, get ready for it.
There are serious doubts about what really was behind last
week's attacks. Dan Kennedy is a Paris based American journalist
for The Daily Beast. He's written about this, and he joins
me from Paris. You talk Dana, to some of these French Muslims who
say this was all a conspiracy. What do they mean?
Well, I went out to what they call the suburbs of France,
which are not what Americans think of as suburbs. They're
really the housing projects.
It's the same here darling, it's the suburbs in America. Now.
Also, housing projects are
outside Paris. And there were a couple areas inside Paris where
a lot of poor Muslims live. And I talked to a cross section of
mainly French Algerian young men who said to me it was pretty
much they felt the attacks were actually a conspiracy by the
Jews to make Muslims look bad. And they told me that they
thought one person told me that in fact, they weren't just
regular Jews that were doing this in fact, they were arrays
of magical Jews shape shifting Jews that were master
manipulators and could be everywhere at the same time
that's what
I'm talking about. Wow. Magical shape shift in Jews man.
And they even bother to report this. This is your MSNBC.
Come on, man. Magical shapeshifter,
shapeshifting. Brother.
Something I could have come up with,
ya know, the second half of the show.
And then this is email. I love this, but I've just been looking
at the conspiracy stuff. Yes, Zionist behind insulting Prophet
Muhammad. This is from the vice chairman of the Assembly of
Experts. Ayatollah Sayed Mohammad Shah, Rudy. So the
Muslims who do want no part of this, they're the ones running
around saying, Hey, man, this is the Jews. It's the Zionist there
may try to make us look bad. They magical the shoes who can
shapeshift? There is a, get me a pair of those. Yeah, in the
house just in the house.
He's just absorbed, can you change it to a pair of shoes?
Pumps play my clip? I'm not sure. This is a freedom of
speech clip of sorts. This is I'm not Charlie in Paris,
okie dokie.
There's a debate now raging in France about free speech where
there it is different than free speech, the principles of free
speech as exercised here in the United States, there are certain
limitations, particularly in regards to anti semitic speech,
things like that.
No, there's not hold on a second in America.
Now he's talking about France. rules against anti semitic
thought he said in America, I was like what the United States
are claiming that
we have better free speech than their free speech. Yeah, this is
again, you know, just
let me I want to hear oh, what just happened? Are you still
there? Yeah. I thought it was powerful moment here. We got
about free speech were there it is different than free speech,
the principles of free speech as exercised here in the United
States, there are certain limitations, particularly in
regards to anti semitic speech, things like that. There's been
an arrest this week of a comedian for anti semitic
remarks. And how is that playing out in France? Now?
This is your argument. What's going to happen and what's going
to happen? Will people who perpetrated
were demean it? Who is this?
This is this great. Before? Who is this woman? The woman with
the most extreme French accent I've ever heard on? accent I
want?
Yes. It's so over the top you almost can't believe is real.
Yeah, let me tell you a little bit. I don't care about what you
say is your move for you crazy Americlean
anti semitism Act. The problem was in France at this moment,
especially
Could you take the penis out of me
about listening to her is that you can actually when you get
into the rhythm of her voice, you can actually understand her
I understand exactly
what she's saying. Yeah. Why don't you go give me some French
raise. The kick the beach in two days is what the French people
are calling the emotional hunger. However, however,
I have an emotional hangover, like Danna has said.
To me, you don't know in which direction this country who is
going to go yes, the country seems really united. There was a
lot of emotion. But nobody knows what's going to happen next,
especially in the Bab sub in the bad suburbs near Paris. We see
especially in some classrooms, young people from Muslim origin
who are refusing to stand up for what happened last week in
Paris. They're saying now officially, I'm not Sharlee. Of
course, it's the minority but it's happening and people are
worried about this minority movement which begins in France.
Hey, you know what? I have to say she put the content country.
Okay, here, tying right into that. This is our version of
that woman in America. Eleanor cliff. Elena was on the
McLaughlin group and
watch this show and I couldn't get a clip off of it. But you
did. Come
on. You didn't get this one. No, Eleanor Clift is well known from
her. Her love for our president, as she knows he's a
constitutional lawyer. And she really she knows a lot about the
Constitution in particular about free speech in the United
States. And the French clearly I'm much better at it.
2 million people showed up in Paris and other million in the
countryside to
say they arrested 54 people for hate speech. You know, who
didn't show up? For that it's an issue. This comedian this
Cameroonian comedian who's famous over there for hate
speech, they have to fourth out 4 million march for free.
Totally free speech. That's totally totally. But it shows
the effort to find the line between what hate speech and
free speech. Europe has much tougher laws against that we
have
we need laws against hate speech. Wow. Um, so you didn't
you didn't catch your ear?
You know? No. She's a dingbat. I mean, yes,
but she's incredibly representative of an entire
swath of Americans that we
left the last are pathetic Obama bots, who are still robot like
we're
I'm gonna John John here's the problem nobody on that show said
excuse me, Alan our hate speech is also protected under free
speech. That's what I was waiting no one knows the old
guys that show scripted, scripted I know what it's like
hate crimes out please
alright so I got the gist of the my end of this whole thing I do
have now you said that no one's talking about Allah walkie and
all the rest of it dude what he used to do? That's not
completely true. Because if you
go to RTX I was gonna say where did you go? You went to the
well, yeah, you went
to the well, Marcy is always there to remind us.
But what makes a story of our lucky even more interesting is
that at one time he was held up by the Pentagon and the White
House as being a moderate Muslim imam who would condemn the
September 11 attacks. According to CBS News in the months after
911. Our Lucky was invited as part of an informal outreach
program in which officials sought contact with leading
members of the Muslim community. The official said that at that
time, I will lock he was widely viewed as a moderate Imam at a
mosque in Northern Virginia. According to documents from the
FBI found by Fox News and agent had heard the mom speak in
Northern Virginia while she roll on
a second documents found and uncovered by Fox News really
this is the head did they find something so incredible secret
which we've been talking about for that and I don't know why
he uses Fox News. This has been known fact it's gonna I think
it has to do with that little pixie girl. She's the one that
broke that story on Fox if I recall. And she made a big deal
you know, little pixie number of them now it's the dark hair, the
brunette hair and the small some small short picks over
Guilfoyle. No no, no, no no short short like pixie hair like
it's well it's actually short Tinkerbell hair.
Oh, Peri. Peri. No,
no, no, no, no, no, the brunette.
I don't know the short pixie brunette, nothing of it. So for
that CIA woman. Here we go.
Five late, she recalls being impressed by this E mom. He
condemned al Qaeda and the terrorist attacks. During his
talk. He was harassed by members of the audience and suffered it
well reads one document. So what happened? How did a moderate e
mom in Northern Virginia helped us find out Qaeda in Yemen and
help to radicalize so many young men in that country? Well, to
answer that question, we have to ask this one who radicalized the
radical iser. In March of 2002, the FBI began raiding homes
offices of Muslim leaders in Virginia aulaqi living in
Northern Virginia at the time was upset by it. And that month
left the United States for Yemen. In August of 2006. I will
lock he was grabbed by Yemeni security he was held and
tortured for more than a year as part of a secret investigation.
Yemeni officials said they arrested him with a group of
five Yemenis suspected of kidnapping a Shiite teenager for
money. How a Locky was accused of being the group spiritual
leader. He was released without trial after a year in prison. In
2007. He was arrested again held for two weeks and then released
without charges. But it was in an interview afterward that I
will lock he said it was clear that US government officials had
asked Yemeni officials to do so. In February 2008, US
counterterrorism officials linked our Locky to terrorism
but would not say why. And then in 2009, the US conducts a
series of drone strikes in Yemen that kill large numbers of
civilians. Meanwhile, a series of attempted terror attacks take
place, including as I mentioned before, the failed underwear
bomber, and the Fort Hood shooting. Catherine
herridge Yeah, the CIA woman. Yeah, you're right.
Catherine herridge. That's her name via this ad this aulaqi
framing I would say not as he was framed, but just framing him
up is makes a lot of sense. But if we had any hand in any of
this somehow somewhere board certainly in the media portion
of it. Yeah, get that in there. What else you're going to do
with this? Yeah, I mean, let's let's not talk about the ID card
left behind. Let's not talk about the his shoes not being
tied properly. And he's anyway. Oh, let me just hold on. Hold
on. Hold on, man. Don't don't drive off yet. I'm gonna get my
shoe. He actually picked up his shoe. Yeah, no, I saw that.
Yeah, no. Yeah, no, yeah, no. Now,
the other thing I noticed I was watching DEVAR T for some of the
stuff and they discussed his 16 year old son who, who was blowed
up. Yeah. Now my understanding was he was blowed up at a cafe
with a couple of his buddies having some kind of a claim. And
I think that story is ever changing. But now they claim he
was blowed up at a barbecue.
It was a coffee shop, but after he was blown up, it was
barbecue.
Yeah. So I don't I don't understand what the point of
moving the venue is. I think the point was that the Just to make
the argument to Hayden and the other guys that we're all for
all the stuff that you would say, we had to use the drones on
these dangerous people the dangerous 16 year old, very,
everybody's very we had the use of drones because we couldn't
find any way to grab them which we would have done if we could,
well then that kind of doesn't sound right if they're at a cafe
sipping coffee, because you could have just driven up and
pick them up well, but now he's at a barbecue in some obscure
part of the country which may be surrounded by armed terrorists
it makes a little more sense so I think we're losing the
narrative where he was at a cafe and we're picking up the
narrative barbecue All right, I just wanted to alert you to that
chain
All right well, we'll in the script
I don't know why why we had the script chain so late in the game
yeah, well it happens you know have got a doctor script doctor
comes in
one of the producers with someone was unhappy one of the
one of the executive producers wives was unhappy about
something Well, no,
I think that I think one of the one of the executive producers
looked at this and look there. Here's an argument we're gonna
city. Yeah, we have to deal with this with this debate. We got to
move him out of the cafe and pushing out the farms barbecue.
Because it makes more sense. Now. Was
this more like a Texas barbecue where it's just hours of smoking
meat?
I you know. Yeah, many barbecue is
like they have a hibachi and
next to the 50. Sumo it's a big giant fire with a goat next to
the 50 cow on the back at least some guy turning the spit spit.
And
which looked like it was like a Gatling gun. I mean, let's be
honest, we have to blow them up.
Yeah, actually, I can see that. Yep, the CNS
that's CNN last night was on a tear and everybody is showed
again what is happening now. The only people who are being
threatened are journalists and politicians in in their or in
their seats of government. Which is why this is all really
happening in fast tempo because these people what I'm a
journalist I'm I'm getting blown up I'm getting my head chopped
up. We must report on this. And the politicians it goes hand in
hand you understand why that works. But now particularly with
the Smith Bond Act, and you can you can propagandize the
American people as much as you want with that act being
repealed. They've had on a just a slew of people Bob Baer of
course who now Bob there is a he just sits in Telluride all day
long. He might put on a jacket if it gets a little chilly as a
set but it's just it's nonstop he's got a camera set up and Bob
bears here again really
good. I don't know what kind of line they haven't hooked you
probably satellite or whatever. It's cutting out outside his
house.
It does very little delay.
I doubt if he's going to a studio to do this.
I don't think so. I think it's I saw him wear a jacket the other
like a little fleece. Yeah, I'm chilling out doing and get
again. And he all he doesn't even have anything to say
anymore.
I don't think he's read into a lot of stuff either because he
just
the whole idea for him is just to say be afraid. Be afraid it
can happen here be afraid. And I guess it was who's the I forget
her name with a blonde Harley Poppy Harlow Poppy Poppy Harlow
is that her name?
I don't even know who this is.
And so she she just brings on one after another after another
after another and Bob bears like it whatever it is be afraid
because these terrorists they can do anything you know they
can they got invisible bombs they get they get more they can
magical shapeshifting juke talents they got it's crazy
or too focused on the wrong threat bombs instead of bullets.
Ah,
this is a very good question. Let's go to our CIA a former CIA
operative which is how he's always introduced what does that
even mean?
That means he What is the operative mean that let's look
this up because they don't want to see that he's
always busy and field aged Is he a guy who's an analyst analyst I
know field agent I know these things I don't know what
operative is operative define?
I feel personally that that that is probably a misnomer because
he's not former anything. He's a current CIA operative as far as
I'm concerned.
Yes, well, I
think Poppy we should be worried about both Syria the bomb maker
for al Qaeda in Yemen is very capable he can take P tn which
is Highbury sauce explosive. He's been able to conceal it in
a toner cartridge. Looks just like the
looks just like ink taste just like the ink looks just like ink
tastes just like chicken.
And of course there was the underwear bomber. The the
underwear bomber failed because he kept the explosive on his
leg. And it's hydroscopic hydroscopic sort of water and
didn't go off. Now.
Was he paying on a down his leg? God
is actually the truth. Yeah. If you read the reports that he
left it on for days, if not more In a week, and he was pooping
and peeing all over the all over the thing. Why you didn't hear
this? Oh, yeah.
That's the story, knowing what they were doing. They could have
brought that airplane down.
And what does it hygroscopic? Is that what he said? Or hydro,
no hydro hydro.
What does that mean?
Means it sucks up water.
And what scares me is that al Qaeda is advancing and it's
technology. Wait
a minute, hold on a second. Something scares Bob Baer. Let's
back that up. Something scares him.
The hydroscopic sort of water it didn't go off. Now, if they had
known what they were doing, they could have brought that airplane
down in What scares me is that okay?
I gotta play that again. Today, I heard explosive on
his leg. And it's hygroscopic hydroscopic absorb water, it
didn't go off. Now, if they had known what they were doing, they
could have brought that airplane down in What scares me is that
al Qaeda is advancing and its technology just to the chorus on
group is,
wait a minute, but you throw another name, just throwing the
horizont group. Wait a minute, and
there's no reason why they can't both do a military style assault
in Paris and go after airplanes. It's extremely difficult to
bring down an airplane. But if these guys are getting better,
will they get to that point? I'd have to ask. Yes.
I have a feeling that there's magical shapeshifting a RABs as
well.
I mean, these people would be some Middle Easterners has
something to do with the Middle East.
So then she brings on Lieutenant General Mark. Hartley Hartley
this guy has the look. If you ever look yeah, I think I've
seen this guy's another one of these blockhead you know, what's
his name again? Hartley,
Lieutenant General Mark Hartley, retired, retired. So he's, you
know, he's obviously in on the he's being sent out. He's being
deployed. All right, well put you with a bob bear. Whatever
you do, just make people afraid. We're
dealing with an adaptive enemy adaptive and
the shapeshifter, shapeshifters. Poppy. You know, by the way,
this explains now, how they get themselves into those little
lamps that you rub when they come popping out.
Yeah, the shapeshifter,
they're just like, Genie. What's her name? Again, Barbara Eden,
Barbie Eaton.
We're dealing with an adaptive enemy of poppy. And I think
whereas we still have to be very concerned with the aviation
community and what they do. This is an enemy that's shown that
they are going to use potentially lone wolf attacks
and individual operation cells, like we saw in Paris, and in
like they were about to do in Belgium, stealing police
uniforms getting this
as another good one, stealing police uniforms. This is this is
great. No evidence of this, by the way.
And by the way, you know, you can go to just one of those
stores and buy a cup. Just buy a police uniform.
Is it a stripper badge? You
gotta steal? Is this a
stripper gram? Or are you a jihadi shapeshifting terrorist.
That'd be funny. If you just show up at a party and a cop
uniform people like oh, you're a cop? No, I'm a jihadi terrorist,
with a cops uniform,
and then like they were about to do in Belgium, stealing police
uniforms getting into potentially secure locations.
And there are a lot of other potential things, as we saw in
as we've seen in combat, over the last 12 to 14 years, there
are opportunities everywhere to hide an explosive device. I'm
very surprised not to not to try and be scary,
or you don't really mean that you really do want to be scary.
I'm very surprised. We haven't seen more attacks I occurred in
Paris in the United States yet no relative to do and again,
dealing with it are
easy to do, or they easy to do. Well, he's surprised. This is
why he's very surprised and stunned. He's no, he's not
stolen. He's surprised.
He's just not saying it. I
think he said he was very surprised.
Very surprised, but I bet she's done.
Let's listen to how he said it. Again.
attacks occurred in Paris in the United States yet, they're
relatively easy to do. And again, we're dealing with an
adaptive enemy, we have to be more shift are concerned about
the environment and also various ways that these kinds of attacks
can occur.
Yes, no, but he's not trying to scare anybody. Thank goodness.
Here is the Do you mind? I just want to power through the CNN
clip. I want to hear all this stuff. So incredible. Here is
the CNN version of jihadi He's all over Europe.
Belgians woke up Saturday morning to something they
haven't seen in more than 30 years that the movement of
soldiers from the armed forces in two Belgian cities, Brussels
and also Antwerp, and this is in response to some of the security
threats that have emerged not only in the wake of the Charlie
Hebdo attack in Paris, but also after police went after a
suspected a jihadi cell in the eastern Belgian city, VA, it
resulted in a gun battle Thursday night. Two suspects
were killed and a third was taken prisoner.
This by the way is a great time just to take some people out. I
suspected terror cell and veered VAs really? Okay. They think
this is just hey, listen, these guys are so freakin annoying.
Let's go take them out. I think there's there's got to be some
of that. Just it wouldn't
surprise me.
Now Brussels is not only the capital of Belgium. It's also
the capital of the European Union, a Europe that is
increasingly on edge. I made more and more reports of
Europeans who have gone to Syria to join the Islamic State ISIS
and are coming back and posing a threat to the continent. Yes,
there are 1000s of Europeans who have made a similar journey. But
this little country Belgium is believed to have per capita more
suspected Jihad ease than any other country in Western Europe.
Yeah, they're all in the parliament there. Suspected
jihad. He's okay. Let's go to Leon Panetta, former CIA
director, former Secretary of Defense and now leading the
Panetta Institute. Hold I want to get that whole page for you
with Clint Eastwood. He has a couple other people on that, but
actually, I found the I found that board of directors to be
weak. But honestly, like, let me see per NEDA. Why is that
working? Panetta instead Toots have it in the shownotes just
can't find it that quickly. Here we go. Panetta Institute, what
is their mission statement? This is relatively new, I think. His
website is kind of like 1992. As a nonpartisan Center for the
Study of public policy, that Panetta Institute helps our
communities and our country meet the challenges of the 21st
century. We work in particular to attract thoughtful young men
and women of lives to women to work in particular to attract
thoughtful young men and women to lives of public service. I
see helping them expand their knowledge of the policy process,
blackmail, and develop their skills as future leaders so go
to about us.
And the board you're right there's a bunch of was just a
bunch of drinking club.
The so they have an academic advisory committee, but here's
the national advisors, I think this is good. So they have Nancy
Baker, I think Jim's wife. Then we have a formula cavo. See
cruise Bustamante from California for Montana governor.
They've got Louis but there's a lot of California people
obviously.
The yarn Panetta, Sylvia Panetta is letter wives. Yeah, yeah, it
is on the
board. Yes. Anyway, former chairman, CEO of the New York
Stock Exchange. Cokie Roberts, Bob Schieffer gotta have the the
news people in their former Secretary United States
Department of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala
they shouldn't have newspeople on there. Yeah,
that was I forgot to mention that. We didn't really talk
about that. In the about the interview, the movie The Rogen.
James Flocka movie.
Yeah, what about it?
Again? All you know, so many journalists, the acting in the
movie?
Oh, yeah, no, that's right. You're right. And I know is a
pet peeve of yours.
I don't I think it's so incredibly wrong. They really
should not be doing that.
I agree. I think they they're either going to be yo you want
to be an actor, be an actor.
Then we have this package, which was an incredibly was 19 minutes
long. And I cut it down to a minute and a half just just
because I wanted the the guy himself. This is a package about
Jeh Johnson, Jeff. Jeff, Jeff is our new, the Positano new
Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Jeff. He
calls himself J, but it's spelled J A HJ
gate. No, je HJHGHJ je that'd be Jay. Jay
Jay. Jay Johnson. And of course, we are responding to the
shapeshifting Jews and Muslims everywhere. They're just
everywhere now. So we have to be vigilant we've
evolved to a new phase in the global terrorist threat with the
head
of Homeland Security revealing even more airport security
measures are on the way we're looking
at doing more in the short term in reaction to some of the
threat streams that we're seeing now.
Threat streams, streams, threat streams, what could that be a
threat stream a good threat
coming out yet peon?
I wonder is that a Send an audio stream that stream that'd be a
threat stream, is it but it's a threat stream like a thread or a
threat. Okay, this I know but a threat stream
threat stream the threats
DHS announced earlier this week ramped up searches at US
airports over fears. Terrorists are creating non metallic
explosives.
We're back to those boob and anus bombs.
capable of passing through some airport scanners undetected when
you talk about more measures. As far as aviation goes, what would
that look like? What What's the timeline for that? And what is
this new intelligence
right now? And I told my folks that I want I wanted an
assessment in the very short term. And so I expect to get
that in the next couple of days. So it's unclear what those extra
measures would we're looking at it right now.
Additional random passenger and luggage checks are now happening
at the gate once travelers have cleared TSA checkpoints after Al
Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula published a step by step guide
to building hard to detect bomb
this is the this is stupid. This thing this is the new inspire
edition.
Yeah, so when I said talked about in the last show, ya know,
but this dumb bomb they got in there.
following September 11 transportation systems continue
to be a target for terrorists whose
doesn't work unless you remind people of the horrible
atrocities
in 2005 13 years ago, yeah, well, no, she
knows now it's only 10. Now she's back in 2005. And we're
going to do seven seven
beside bombs detonated within seconds of each other on a bus
and three different trains traveling through London
Underground stations. In 2010 Nagi Bula, Zazi pleaded guilty
for plotting to blow up New York subways, to focus
more on homeland based threats.
Just this week in electrical malfunction caused smoke to fill
a DC metro station.
This is my favorite part of the story. It's the last bit. So now
anything that happens anything anything that is a some kind of
annoyance or something that something that is bad, I think a
woman died of smoke inhalation or maybe she had some other
medical issues already. Anything that happens now immediately has
to be equated to but if this was a terrorist attack, where were
the authorities, killing one and injuring dozens more, one does
have to wonder what would have happened had that fire have been
sent by terrorists. And clearly the responsive analysis
is,
Johnson struck a reassuring tone saying that the department is
assessing you intelligence and threats every day, and every
hour. So this
so you can look at this two way turning us into Canadians. When
I was when you're
that's an outrage. I'm writing that down.
Be when you're I listed a lot of Canadian news when I'm up north.
And the typical New you have like a massive earthquake
happens in Southern California and you listen to Canadian news.
A massive earthquake happened in southern Southern California,
what would happen? What would it be like if it happened here? And
everything is like what would it what would it be like if it
happened here? What would it be like if it happened here? So
there's this complete supposition in style of news
reporting, which is not to report the news. But to report
what would it what would happen if it happened here?
What's even worse than that, unless this is CNN, when did CNN
become Fox?
This is going to be folks forever.
Or as I continue to assert Fox is actually run by a Democrats
probably the same people who are running this outfit. No. Now
here was my This has got to be my favorite. So we've had
everybody on. We've had Panetta. We've got Bob Baer, he lives
there. We've got D Johnson. We've had the Lieutenant General
on let's bring in they could have called you and I for this.
And in fact, I'm a little disappointed because the woman
who comes on here, she's pitching her company, that not
directly but it's so obvious. And she's pitching her services.
And this is about brand about brand ISIS, which of course we
know everything about it. analyze this, we've analyzed the
al Qaeda branding, the subsequent reverse mergers
there, franchising of the brand, and now some other woman gets on
CNN and talks about it.
Guys, this has created a really successful brand. And a brand is
an emotional connection.
I love this. This isn't we know these women.
Just insert here they're everywhere. Instead of ISIS
insert Facebook
brand is an emotional connection with people and when you make a
connection, you can scale that connection and ISIS has been
really scale and connection effective at using propaganda to
move their brand along and to continue to expand their
footprint. In the face of a successful brand where people
are looking at ISIS as a winner, I mean, there really needs to be
an alternative narrative put out there we where are the images of
ISIS losing? Where are the images of setbacks actually
being placed in their path as they move forward? I think
there's a real void in the narrative out there of the
public perception.
Do you think that when it comes to
shut off lady, we don't want any losing ISIS? This is all about
we're gonna have cool videos, people
write those that aren't attracted to what ISIS does,
which is the majority people, this high schooler
This is the CNN woman. This is like she's in high school,
when they put videos out of these horrific beheadings for
example, aren't they, in a sense, only digging their own
grave? Aren't they, in a sense, only turning us away in the in
it? We have such an aversion to seeing that?
No, no, this is great. We love those videos where we could not
watch him and still talk about him. This is great. I think
you're
absolutely right. For the majority of the people in the
world. It's an awful image. And it's an awful brand.
It's an awful brain. I don't know this tickled me for some
reason. It's an awful brand.
I associated heard this bull crap before in Silicon Valley
every week. That's not
who they're talking to. And then you get a $5,000 bill.
Right? They're targeting the the mostly young men
is the target audience is mostly young men. Okay, now get back to
the big
I mean, if you think, Oh, what, what's the demo?
The demo was just mostly young men.
I think it's 18 to 24. It's the number one prime demo
I agree. male male 1834 Very hard to get. The ESPN has these
guys. That's where they should be advertising. In fact, this is
where they should be recruiting these ISIS guys that should go
on ESPN for
image and it's an awful brand. But that's not who they're
talking to. Right? They're targeting the mostly young men.
I mean, if you think in France there 40% of the young Muslim
men in France are unemployed. That's a perfect target audience
for certainly feels disenfranchised,
disenfranchised, they see winning, they see domination,
they see success. And Hey,
kids, the PlayStation don't go to Steve Syria, buy a
PlayStation.
You know, that's, that's a logical magnet for some of those
people to turn to. And what what, from a marketing and
branding perspective, what what can start to put some boundaries
on that is an alternative set of images and all and I'm tentative
to that brand story. Totally. I do really question a brand
building perspective.
Do you think that there's a bunch of guys sitting around
going?
What are we going to do from a brand perspective? We have only
beheading brand,
whether or not there's something that can be done effectively, to
at least turn to turn broadly attitude toward the position of
ISIS.
And it's such an important point, given how many people now
are radicalized and even trained online through these videos.
They don't need to travel to training and to carry out these
horrific attacks.
You don't even need to travel. You can just sit at home, just
sit at home and get radicalized. I know how it happens too. They
do it through song
online.
That's how they're radicalise.
You can play the whole song once you play the whole song. Why
don't you promise to play the whole song at the end of the
show?
Okay, let me put it in the thing that hold on the whole, the
whole,
keep people listening because everybody loves this song.
I have to say, that's not true.
People I can't sleep. I only hear this song in my head. It's
driving me crazy and go away make it go away. Because
of course this woman doesn't understand that we're the ones
who are behind the whole thing. And the branding is working
fine. It's getting us it's working great in in England,
because Oh, yeah. Am runs all in as you played a clip, but and
I'm going to, you
know, I had well, I had that actually transitions into
something else.
Well, I have one little transition.
What do you got? Well,
the clip I have now. John Boehner now is on as far as I'm
concerned. I never liked the guy that much. But he didn't care.
He's just the Speaker of the House. But now he's all in on
the surveillance state. He's a complete douchebag and he was
called out for his stupidity. In this particular clip, which
you'll find very amusing.
Let's listen to what House Speaker John Boehner said today
about the foiled plot for an attack on the United States
Capitol.
The first thing that strikes me is that we would have never
known about this. Had it not been For the FISA program, and
our ability to collect information on people who pose
an imminent threat,
because he knows something we don't because apparently he was
on social media talking about because it was more to this than
that. We don't know.
Well, this will let the whole story roll out there. It was far
more than just that.
It's not just social media.
First, he says that it would have never found out anything.
It was for Pfizer, which is bullcrap. Because the social
media thing was what triggers somebody say, hey, what, look
what this guy's doing. And they started to track him. Right. So
he, so this guy is a liar.
Oh, gee, there's gambling going on there. Yeah. Oh, this. It's
unconscionable that these people are still in office and the
American public doesn't seem to care. And we don't. We don't.
However, I care very much. And I am very humbled, humbled and
honored in your presence. John C. Dvorak in the morning to you
and thank you for your courage, sir.

both coal and new and nuclear natural gas. Take a look at the
employment history of Gerald Schroeder the German Chancellor
Merkel Merkel replaced their hawkhill He played a key role in
negotiating and selling the original plan to phase out
nuclear energy in 2002. So the so what he's telling us that
this is bullcrap that they're doing this because of Fukushima?
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And Gerhard Schroeder was also the guy who
negotiated the pipeline that runs that they decided not to
run through pull through Poland that ran runs along the coast
from the Russian pipeline. Yeah, and I'm pretty sure he helped
kill the Polish government on that plane crash.
But gay long before Merkel made her 360 degree turn into top and

admiring the dancing Puffin when one of the employees walking by
gave me an in the morning day and I decided to donate and then

Okay, happy to bring him that obviously.
You've got karma.

this. None okay, it's fine. James Krause is doing it are St
Louis Missouri. Okay I'm not if it's 200 hours in Plymouth
Massachusetts nuts, no name please just peerage also see
email with a subject bag check and that
I was being herded through TSA today, I was struck with an
unusual compulsion to donate to the show. As a longtime
listener, I've been programmed with Na neurolinguistics to
respond to certain stimuli, they all say sometimes these
manifests themselves in unexpected ways. While I
followed my fellow cattle through the processing plant, I
was awakened by the anti terrorists battle cry of
backcheck. My programming followed a mind numbing array of
memes and jingles and delivered a sound self inflicted hit
square to the mouth. Despite having a couple of rings I
haven't donated in over a year What a douche bag. That's what
he says. Sadly, it took a bullcrap TSA backcheck to awaken
me from my slave days. Nice da ze to face this fact. I'm sure
there are quite a few others in a similar trance have other
priorities forgetfulness and outright denial. I'm so pissed
at myself for allowing this to happen that I now call for a no
agenda douchebag check. This is all right. Check. This is a call
to awaken the days including the following to my fellow knights
if you've lapsed, as I have I call back check drop a few bucks
to continue getting the regular therapy that no agenda provides
to to those that donate on occasion Good on you. But if
it's been more than six months since your last donation I call
bag check to those that are newer listeners. If you get
enough enjoyment to continue downloading listening to no
agenda and you haven't donated I call bag check. Come on. It's
easy. It only takes a couple of minutes. You only need to drop a
fiver or a 10 spot. Better yet, do a recurring fiver or 10 spot.
If you're a longtime listener and you've never donated I call
bag check. You can claim you can't afford it. But that's
bullshit. If you've listened to this, you're very unlikely to be
destitute. If you've bought a cup of overpriced bullshit
coffee in the last year. You've never donated. Let's not fool
ourselves. You're a freeloading piece of crap. Who always come
up with some excuse do us all a favor, you're just a listener
become a producer or eff off. And finally if you truly can't
afford it, you can still contribute hit others in the
mouth and wake them up. If they have the means. Like they can
afford a doughnut for breakfast. They'll help pick up the slack.
Let me see as if you're in good standing anyway see, apologies
my own lab so no need to know D douching. Necessary was bagged
to such a degree that I'll take more than it'll take more than a
jingle to wipe off the residue. All right. Thank you very much
are good, sir.
Yeah, sounds good. Very good.
Little electronics little rant.
And that concludes our our folks.
What an insult.
Where's the worst I can't get where's my number? What show
number 88 680 COMM it's not anywhere on this sheet here.
Do you need to talk to the back office file is called na 688 dot
xls. Anyway, that's
our group for our group of great great folks. And producers
executive and associate execs, folks it for show 688 And we do
have a show coming up on Thursday of our Thursdays I
don't know why it's dropped off so much. But hopefully we'll
kind of evened out this these contributions so they're not,
you know, a bunch of them than none and a bunch of them then
these are
credits that go under the moniker of executive producer or
Associate Executive Producer. Go ahead and look at television
look at the credits. That's what's happened at the beginning
of the show. They open up they tell you all the people who are
at the top of being responsible for each episode and of course
we also have a credit roll which we'll do later on. These are
real credits. They work anywhere credits are accepted. Unlike the
douchebags in Hollywood, we will gladly vouch for its
authenticity
done.org/and
Now one thing you can always do is be out there continuing to
propagate our formula. Our formula is
this we go out we get people in the mouth
citizen
Yay. Yay. Yay. Ah, hey, today by presidential proclamation is
that today? No, that was yesterday. No, what is today at
now is Friday. It's just by coincidence. Just by coincidence
like, like like this. I don't know how What happened? It was
Religious Freedom Day. What? On Friday Yeah, I think they just
make it up by what's going on I we got like mad be shapeshifting
Jews and a Rebs I know we'll do let's call it two let's do a
Religious Freedom Day. That should bring people together
yeah
by presidential proclamation the First Amendment prohibits the
government from establishing nice takes. He says the First
Amendment prohibits the government from establishing
religion that's interest that's an interesting way of
interpreting it. The First Amendment protects the freedom
to worship anything place objects, person, God, whatever
you want. That's different from prohibiting the government from
establishing religion, but now I'm not the constitutional
lawyer. Interesting, we must continue our work to protect
religious freedoms around the globe. Yes, we must. What else
is it today? Oh, I had two drinks. Too many drinks. I'll be
the first to admit Friday
was your boo had to drink she had two drinks I had for Holy
crap. Yeah. And it's it's probably poor light. And then
two of which were were serious bourbons. And at that point
where you go like, Oh, man. I was hammered. But it was
hammered. I was. But not before I at least got a little bit of
information out of our former New York banker. Oh, yes, we
need to know Yeah, so his wife was up in Houston and Miss
Mickey was not back from Amsterdam. So dude, let's go out
and drinking. And there's this new place in Austin called Fix
FYI. X e fix. Fix fix and it is dynamite. Why? The food is
really it's a little complex. I would say like potato salad has
all kinds of stuff in there including coil Jochen. I just
really good really, really good. These guys used to run ATVs
which is a very famous kind of steakhouse place. And that got
sold and then these guys started and as big as if displays is
huge. And it was jam packed. With nothing but hotties and us.
What Yeah, they're coming from Dallas. I
think now they are the white. The hottest Jersey stay in
Dallas.
This Friday night, man Come on, or maybe from San Antonio. I
don't know where they were coming in.
And Joe is a little more of a logical drive to Dallas is a
long way
Dallas is too far. You're right. But they look like Dallas,
Oregon for a drink. They look like Dallas girls. Well. And
because Christina I dropped Christina off at the airport. I
took my my phone but I have a phone just not a smartphone. I
don't know the kids traveling. She has to go through Atlanta. I
don't know so I'm gonna happen so she can always text me if
there's something going on. And and, and the reason I have to
explain this, for texting, I use a Google Voice number. Because
if I need to text or sign it pick it up on however you cannot
text a European number from Google Voice this is true. This
sucks. I pay for that. Why can we do that? That's lame. And it
doesn't matter. So there's like three girls that were at the bar
and on the other corner of the bar. And one of the girls goes
wow, it's been a long time since I've seen a Nokia like that
baby she was giving you come on that was like
yeah, no. Yeah, no, yeah, no. This is the time where the
phrase Yeah, no is appropriate. Yeah, no, no, she was not coming
on. Okay, two things I've learned from our friend the
former banker from New York City. One oil prices.
Okay, so this I'm interested in
because I said do all this is obviously being manipulated you
say yes. But really, it's not one entity. It's not just you
know, who was it though? It was HSBC or Morgan or whatever. And
he says really what happened here is it was there were
hundreds and hundreds of people just trading oil contracts over
and over and over again. And what happened is really too many
people wound up owning oil they really didn't need he says
that's what really did it to that's what really brought it
down there was just too many people in the game just
overextended. And yeah, maybe it had a little push but he said it
was so easy. It was just the market was completely saturated
with these little traders and I said little in quotation marks
that really just owned all the oh now own this oil that they
really didn't need and it's on barges floating around. It's
just too much. Okay. Sounds feasible?
Yeah, the market saturated With oil.
Then he told me something very interesting. He said, I want you
to understand that we talk about junk bonds and about inflation
and also about what happened with the with the Swiss franc,
which was beautiful. This was an American Bankers dream. Everyone
was often in Switzerland. The minute the they unplugged from
the euro screwed the Euro yet again, everyone went on a
shopping spree in Germany, took their took their Swiss francs
and start buying stuff across the border. Just absolutely an
American Swiss SCREW YOU to the EU. And he says he has staked
his personal fortune on the following. He says interest
rates will remain low for at least another decade. Maybe two.
Okay. I thought that was interesting.
It wouldn't surprise me this happened in Japan, the Japanese
Exactly.
It is exactly the example he he brought up.
Right once you get into this kind of funk. With the interest
rates, it's the you can't really get out of it. Without
collapsing the stock market. I know what to do that.
And so he said that he had what he did is he put his personal
fortune into anything that will yield 4% It's probably Yeah, I
can see that. And he says if you put that in for the next 10
years, you know, that's the safest. It's the best thing to
do. That's where you need to put all your stuff. Yeah. That is my
report from the frontlines of finance. Oh, come on. It's
better than
but it is. It is what it is better than nothing combined.
It's not all that well. You probably forgot most of it
because you had that I did not forget the shot. And the girls
came over to flirt with you and your IRA
been a while since I've seen one of those a
blonde you must be from Dallas. From Dallas you from left. Guys
wasted. Yeah, guys.
Hey, stop serving Him.
Funny, funny, funny.
There was a couple of things like there was what I got a
funny letter. You got it too. Oh, from Brendan, one of our
producers.
Sorry savoir Brendan Savoie.
No, no, I don't know if we want it. He wants us to say his name.
So I'm just gonna say Brendan. He was grousing about the LA
Times and they all these these coordinated reports in 2014. Was
this
Oh, the single Yeah, I got oh, by the way. So the banker what
now? I'm blitzed right now. I'm completely hammered. He says no,
Adam. He's also hammered.
No, tell me hammered to you both got hammered on for drinks.
I think he had six. Okay, that's worse. And he says bad. Now, you
know, I don't know if you're just an entertainer, or you're a
journal. Journalist. But how do you what is this? You read it
everyone agrees? hottest year on record? How you going to? What's
your evidence that it's not like, Oh, Jesus, some drunk. I
can't do this now. But I actually read the Brandon's
letter to him.
Brand new brand is letters. Oh, you did? Yeah,
I know what I'll do.
He talks about the reports. He says they failed to mention how
they managed to measure the temperature of the planet in
1880, or 1950. For that matter, they calibrated these highly
difficult tasks. Even today, were the satellites calibrated
properly in 1880. I'm guessing the measurement of the average
temperature of the planet is plus or minus at least 1.4
degrees. Even today, nevermind compared to 1880. No matter how
many locations you measure the temperature, we still have to
assign a weight to each sample. And that requires a huge
assumption. We moved from near the beach in Southern California
a few years ago to five miles away slightly inland. And during
the summer, it's really 10 to 20 degrees warmer, which one are
they measuring? And if both houses, each weighted against
the other, and in fact, this is a point that he goes on. And
this was brought up by the guy that started the Weather
Channel. It was a big, anti warmest, and he mentioned that
they changed though they for one thing, they move these boxes
over the years to average the temperature. Yeah, you can do a
satellite thing but that's only recently even
better. 2014 it's it looks like 2010 was warmer, but then they
took some some ocean temperature from somewhere. I said I look,
we'll just add this up and we'll divide it by two and we'll,
we'll put some in there and then all of a sudden it became it
became the hottest on record, which of course it is USA Today
had the best reporting federal scientists it says I like that
federal scientists that is so beautiful federal federal
scientist show that it's the warmest year on record and here
it is. A quote from Jonathan Overpeck, an atmospheric
scientist, which is not the same as climatology, but okay, well,
he says, quote, humans are literally cooking their planet.
If we literally were cooking our planet, then there would be
smoke. We're not literally
down the gas.
I'm literally smoking the planet. Oh, man. Yeah. So
there's, there's enough to it's just statistics is enough to
refute this. But this is really one of
Lies, lies and statistics. Yeah,
this is really one of those that just, you know, you get NASA you
get the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, they
come out and they say, Well, we've we've we've looked at all
the numbers, we've backed it into it being the warmest ever
on record, give us more money. I mean, it Meanwhile, in the UK,
another Blizzard, the Arctic, the Arctic storm hits. Scotland,
Wales, southeast, southwest central England.
And then we have reports like this. This is Abby Martin, who's
getting worse, by the way. She's so glib. Now she's almost
disgusting. It's hard to watch her. But here she is talking
about this hot year. And this this, this brings to mind a
comment that I must make.
So amidst the debate over Keystone XL this week, Senator
Bernie Sanders took the opportunity to essentially trick
GOP peers into admitting their denial over climate change. See,
Sanders introduced a resolution to the Keystone Bill declaring
that Congress agrees with the scientific consensus on climate
change, that it's a real and manmade meeting, if Republicans
attempt to block the resolution. They're blatantly rejecting
science. And the issue is more important than ever, with a
report just published by NASA and NOAA, determining that 2014
was the hottest year on record. Here's,
I just wanted to say one thing, I tried to get a clip of this
Sanders thing because he was on the actually it was before
Thursday was on a number of shows. Yeah, it really nothing
really there. But the meme is, you're denying science. That is
now it's you're denying science not denying global warming or
climate change? You just deny science? That is what Bernie
kept saying.
Yeah. Well, Bernie is a shyster dick. And let me just put up,
put this before you dick. The only way you can make your point
is by as Abby said, trickery. trickery. Yeah. If you're using
trickery to get people to agree with you, or to do something,
this is like the the people that do the spam, they send spam out,
it says, Oh, here's a good note for you from your wife. And then
you read a spam thing. This is trickery, who would do business
with a person online that tricked you into opening an
email or tricked you into something but they're they lied
to you. Or they call you up on the phone and try to trick you
into buying something that you don't even know this person is
using trickery to make your point like that is
douchebaggery. And it's at its height. And the new buddy boy
that would be accepted by Abby Martin is a cool thing shows
what an asshole she is.
Yeah, no, I agree.
And I saw a number of people who Bernie was on and they were all
really, oh, this is really good. So they have to admit it due to
your tricking them into that it has to be they have to admit it.
Either they're in or they're against or whatever. Yeah, I
know. I know. I know. There's I have about four different
stories on that any agenda 21 categories, you can take a look
at it. It really truly is not clear if 2010 was warmer than
2014. But it's irrelevant, because you get the LA time do
you screw that USA Today? Yeah. Yeah. New York Times Yeah, then
and federal. We're all in on it. federal scientists. How can you
even I love the federal scientists. Now, you have to
admit sometimes it feels like we're living in
by iron Rand.
I think we it feels like it doesn't feel like it at all.
Gosh, okay. Well, because I don't see everybody running off
to the Gulch.
Well, okay.
I'm here is okay. This is something I've been working on.
This was my main focus. And there's a couple of new
ways away Hold on a second. What did you bring the end ranting
back up out of the blue?
No, out of the blue, not out of the blue when you talk about
federal scientists, and they're all this coercion, this
trickery? Yeah, that's, I could have triggered that. That's
exactly what Atlas Shrugged is about the government becomes a
bunch of the all in douchebags. And if you're not on board, then
you're you know, then you have to disappear. That's the part
that is not.
Okay. Okay. All right. I don't want to belabor this.
I think many people will go for Yeah, curry. I don't think so
the podcast or AC curry. Right here is what I've been working
on. We had David Cameroon, show up. And he had a little meeting
there and, and he and Barack Barack Barack, he said, Thank
you Barack Barack. He says an Eric Barrett no doesn't say bury
the Baroque like Berek, Baroque. They did the stand up together.
Some of it was about there, which I have in the show notes,
a number of sharing initiatives, some cyber, some cyber
initiatives, which is worth looking into. But it's kind of
more of the same. What I found interesting was both comments
about Iran. And here's Cameron quickly, and then we have a
longer piece here
on Iran, we remain absolutely committed to ensuring that Iran
cannot develop a nuclear weapon, the best way to achieve that now
is to create the space for negotiations to succeed, we
should not impose further sanctions now, that will be
counterproductive. And it could put at risk, the valuable
international unity that has been so crucial to our approach.
So this was interesting. And luckily, during the question and
answer session at one of the journalists came in as the
president, and then also specifically asked the camera
and about something. And this was the Barack Barack gave a 20
minute non answer. Of course, it was so boring, it was just when
I was droning on and on and on. But this is about the P five
plus one. And for some reason, I whenever I hear these Oh, three
p three, plus what I zone out and everything to look at it.
This time, I did a deep dive, P five plus one. This is the
negotiations diplomatic efforts with Iran, apparently for his
nuclear program. And then this is the, of course the UN
Secretary Council. We have the United States, Russia, China,
the UK, France, plus Germany. So German is the Germany has the
plus
one. Why is Germany the plus?
Because this, of course, has nothing to do with Iran's
nuclear program. Why is Russia in there? Why is China in there?
This can only be one thing. It has to light resources. Of
course. We've I brought this up. Why are we cozying up to Iran?
There's a reason for it. Here's the ABC reporter who asked the
question and look at the to the extent that David Cameron is
coming to United States to stop the now Republican majority
houses from imposing further sanctions on Iran. This will not
stand the President will veto anything that comes across his
desk. And I think it's it's going to be very obvious why
I mentioned your opposition to the sanctions bill on Iran. And
this is obviously a bipartisan bill supported by some very
senior top members of your own party in Congress. Why do you
oppose a bill that would only impose sanctions if you fail to
reach an agreement? And if the Iranians fail to agree to take
steps to curtail their nuclear program? Would you go so far as
to veto a bill supported by top Democrats in Congress on this
issue? And to Mr. Prime Minister, I understand you've
been making phone calls to senators on this issue of the
Iran sanctions bill, is that correct? Are you actually
lobbying the US Congress on it?
So it must be important.
When I came into office, I made a commitment that Iran would not
obtain a nuclear weapon that we would do everything we could to
prevent that. If Iran obtained a nuclear weapon, then it would
trigger an arms race in the Middle East, make our job in
terms of preventing the proliferation of nuclear
materials much more difficult. Now, in that context, there is
no good argument for us to try to undercut undermine the
negotiations until they've played themselves out now if
Iran ends up ultimately not being able to say yes, if they
cannot provide us the kind of assurances that would lead
myself, David Cameron and others to conclude that they are not
obtaining a nuclear weapon, then we're gonna have to explore
other options. And I will be the first one to come to Congress
and say, We need to tighten the screws. We don't make these
judgments blindly. We have been working on this for 567 years.
We consult closely with allies, like the United Kingdom in
making these assessments and I'm asking Congress to hold off the
because our negotiators, our partners, those who are most
intimately involved in this, assess that it will will
jeopardize the possibility of resolving a dip, providing a
diplomatic solution to one of the most difficult and long
lasting national security problems that we faced in very
long time,
little flub there, but Okay, so we have, this is about a
national security problem. All of this, all of this, please,
please, please don't fuck with our negotiation right now is all
because of some nuclear thing we're trying to thwart? I think
not.
I think the big picture is very clear. The sanctions that
America and the European Union put in place, have had an
effect.
And let's talk about these for one moment, the sanctions as we
have deconstructed them on this program, are really only so that
the United States and arguably our allies, like the United
Kingdom, control who gets to trade with Iran, and how much
and it is oil is most definitely the oil, all kinds of things are
going in and out. But we have put sanctions on. So we
determined, really, we are in charge of their sales
that has led to pressure that pressure has led to talks, and
those talks, at least have a prospect of success. And I would
argue with the President, you know, how much better is there
than the other potential outcomes? And that is what we
should be focusing on. But to answer you very directly, yes, I
have contacted a couple of senators this morning. And I may
speak to one or two more this afternoon, not in any way, as
British prime minister to tell the American Senate what it
should or shouldn't do, that wouldn't be right. But simply to
make the point as a country that stands alongside America, in
these vital negotiations, that it's the opinion of the United
Kingdom, that further sanctions or further threat of sanctions
at this point, won't actually help to bring the talks to a
successful conclusion. And they could fracture the international
unity that there's been, which has been so valuable in
presenting united front to Iran. And I say this as someone who
played quiet, I think, a strong role in getting Europe to sign
up to the very tough sanctions, including oil sanctions in the
first place. Now, okay.
I don't think David Cameron really needs to spend his time
lobbying the United States, members of Congress and Senate,
because of some nuclear deal bullshit. This is about the
parse field. And we just need to look at a couple headlines and
then review what has been happening with Syria. The whole
reason for the Syria Cabal, is the choice by Assad to go with
the Iraq Iran gas pipeline to Syria, and not with the Qatar,
this is the south to north Qatar, Syria, Turkey pipeline,
and this is the whole thing. And now let's look at the headlines.
Iran, Iran hits highest record of daily gas production, Iran
start exporting, we will start exporting gas to Iraq in May,
Iran and the Kurdish Regional Government are building two
pipelines, this is happening. This is happening come hell or
high water and we are pumping our gas and our resources from
Baku, from Azerbaijan, part of part of Paris, we are pumping it
straight through Iran, and it's going into Iraq. And it's and it
may go into Turkey. But I still think that is more than likely
that this will go out through Syria, depending on what happens
when we send the next round of troops and trainers into it. And
this is what this is about. This is not the whole the whole
nuclear weapon thing. It's just it's a front. It's just to just
to shut people up just to keep this conversation going. Why is
Cameron there British Petroleum? A shell. This is about the
pipeline coming from Iran with and they have more gas than
anybody else. And why else is China and Russia in the P five
plus one talks and Germany because this is about getting
this into the Mediterranean up into the EU.
All right. Could be the whole thing is bull crap. And they're
just really about the oil or just
gas is gas. I have the map here. I guess gas is my friend. I have
the map. Here's the proposed Iran, Iraq, Syria and pipelines
in the show notes. I don't have a direct URL for it. But the
idea was always
gas coming out of these phases. Why is the helium market still
in disarray?
Maybe that's not maybe it's an investment opportunity.
Something's fishy about that? Because all the helium companies
is just extracted from natural gas to where it all is.
Maybe this maybe that has been. Maybe that's part of the
sanctions with Iran. We should take a look at it. Anyway, so we
need to move on Syria. The next move is not widely discussed,
but here is Rear Admiral Kirby. Who I find to be this is the
What's that? What was their noses swash washable their nose
this novel was showing I forget what it was. What do you say?
Schwenke was the Swank, Swank how many noses we shanked or
shrinked? Whatever, when we will be sending trainers, I have it
in the book trainers Schlacht track. Thank you chatroom
Schlacht Yeah, this is the guy who talks about tracking and
we're gonna send some trainers, but not just trainers, all kinds
of people to help the moderate Syrian rebels who wear funny
hats, I guess we have to identify him somehow think
what you can expect is several 100 US troops over there in a
training capacity to the various sites, sites that are still
being established. And prepared, I think you'll start to see
orders for some of those troops over the next four to six weeks.
Some could be given orders very soon, perhaps as soon as within
the next week or so. But they'll flow in I think over the next
four to six weeks. I'm hesitant to give an exact number on that,
because I think some of the sourcing solutions are still
being worked out sourcing solutions, but several 100 is
about the right range. What
does that mean sourcing solutions? I don't know that
must be because it's coming just
it's Yeah. Blackwater ash talk.
And there'll be spread out accordingly. A portion to the
different sites. Again, it'll depend on the requirements and
the site preparations, there will also be, in addition to
back to the US side, in addition to the several 100 trainers that
we think will need to provide to this effort, I think you can
expect to see there'll be additional US service members
going in a support capacity support
capacity.
Let's not question that. Just support so these guys are
training. These guys
are getting their coffee, and what we traditionally call
enablers, but they're
enablers. Wow, is that where they're calling them these days?
enablers bringing enablers,
that kind of thing. So I don't know, again, some of these
sourcing solutions are still being worked. No orders have
been cut as we sit here today. So I can't get into any
specifics. Just now. There has been no active recruiting yet.
That said he has they are working with the Syrian moderate
opposition leadership to identify potential Syrian
moderate groups from which recruiting could occur. But no
recruiting has actually yet started no trainees have been
identified and and enrolled in this program just yet. Wow.
I love this. We haven't recruited anyone to enroll in
our program from the the moderate Syrian opposition, you
know, the good guys. And the press just sits there and goes,
Okay.
Well, I mean, what the guy said you can What are you going to do
as a press member? That's just gobbledygook. The guy isn't
saying anything.
He's saying that? Well, what he's saying is that
we get nothing worse.
We're sending we're building a guerrilla force, a terrorist
force inside someone else's country, with a bunch of people
trained actually, that's not true. We're doing it in our in
our friends country, so Jordan, etc. And then we're the we're
going to train these guys to go go in and screw everything up.
It's an act of war. Whatever. Yeah. Well,
I guess we have a lot of active wars.
I must just be nuts. Pay no attention to
me. You are nuts. I'm not. It's not an act of war. We're helping
these people. The President is helping people and act of war. I
asked you. The President fighting, selective solution, in
cases, sourcing solutions, sourcing selective solutions,
and you'll like it, executive order came out from the
President. This is the one we've been waiting for. This is the
federal support for local law enforcement equipment
acquisition. This, of course, is regarding the very disturbing
equipment acquisitions by law enforcement agencies throughout
the United States, which include tanks bayonets, other things do
to views upon the citizens of the United States. And we're
happy the President is going to do something about this, as he
says. There is some concern about the employment and
deployment of controlled equipment acquired by the LE A's
the law enforcement agency. So what are we going to do? What is
the President's executive order? Are we going to reduce this are
we going to stop supplying this stuff, which of course is all
part of the military industrial complex?
I will Yes, we're gonna monitor close. We're gonna monitor more
closely.
Even better, we are going to create the law enforcement
equipment Working Group. Oh,
another committee
That's it. That's his whole executive order, we'll have a
group, and then we will talk about it. So we can see that at
least the law enforce.
Even C span we'll put that on and telling you
the working group within 120 days shall provide the President
with recommendations and implementation plans. as set
forth in section three, just get section three here for a second.
That must be in the expanded version. But really, it's
created here it is. developing policies to ensure that law
enforcement agencies abide by any limitations or affirmative
obligations, okay. Planning the creation of a database who has
an it doesn't it piece in there dude named Ben, a database
includes information about controlled equipment purchased
or acquired, ensuring a process for returning specified
controlled equipment. If when no longer needed, hey, these
bayonets are all bloody let me send them back. requiring local
civilian government review of the requests for stuff providing
uniform standards. were suspending le A's from federal
controlled equipment programs. If they violate any laws,
please, please, what what law would they violate civil laws?
is doing that
creating a process to monitor the sale or transfer from an LEA
to third parties. So it's not not anywhere does this executive
order say, hey, let's not give bayonets? That's just dumb. No,
that's not in their working group. This guy has so many
working groups.
Yeah. A good way to get out of the whole thing. Get out of
responsibility. So I was watching news night or whatever
that thing that once a week show the BBC puts on
news night was on last night, wasn't it?
Yeah. Your buddy on Glenn Greenwald. I don't rock camera.
And they were talking about I thought there was a good point
he made he's just changing his cadence a little bit with the
way he talks. I didn't see but it was obvious to me. In clip
two, I got three clips. In clip two, I've been obvious to me
that the BBC is all in on the fascist takeover of Western
civilization. But I think we may have known that but it's never
been so obvious. But let's play Greenwald on camera and being
hasty. In other words, jumping right away wanting to put
together these, you know, set up a furtherance of a patriot act
like act in England
brazenness with which Western leaders like David Cameron have
moved to exploit the emotion surrounding the Paris attack has
really been stunning. I mean, even the Bush administration had
the decency to wait a few days after the 911 attack before it
started introducing new spying and detention legislation and
Prime Minister Cameron and others haven't even waited that
long. They the victims haven't even been buried. And already
they're demanding more powers. I mean, if this were a reasoned
debate, they would examine what happened here and commission
experts to talk about any gaps, legitimate gaps, but that's not
what they're doing. They want to exploit fear and exploit the
emotions surrounding this event against no more spying power for
themselves. And I think the public will be right rightly,
where
public is not going to be rightly wary public
doesn't give a crap. What Is he kidding? Oh, man.
So the BBC guy comes on. And he makes his commentary, which is
says to me that they're stooges. And this is kind of an
interesting little back and forth. But I just wonder
whether it's quite difficult for you to make the argument at
times like this, that we need to be wary of the security
authorities rather than the fanatics.
I don't think it's hard at all to make the argument. I think
this is the crucial time to make the argument I think people
resent when their emotions are exploited and trifled with and
when government's trying to fear mongering to get more power for
themselves. It's definitely an effective tactic. And that's why
governments do it. But that's what has led the West to things
like destroying Iraq and and torturing people systematically
and putting them in prisons for years without charges is this
constant fear mongering and exploitation of emotion
surrounding terrorism? And I think it's the responsibility of
journalists and others to demand reasoned discourse
will do reasoned discourse but you do respect the rights of
publics in countries where maybe they have different views to
yours and no reason discourse have decided that they think
they would like them to have more powers I just you're almost
as if you don't think the public have a right to the opposite
view TV they're perfectly entitled dominate to take
whatever view they wanted the different risks.
Wow, yeah. And I was listening to radio for when I go to bed, I
put it on the Sonos through tune in radio and then you can you
can listen all these radio stations. All you hear on radio
for which is their news kind of channeling. BBC is this is this
all in? You know, get we need to trust the government? You know,
when they know what's best for us this is makes so much sense.
Let them have all the powers they need. I mean, these people
have spy cameras in their trash bins. I mean, come on this. They
love it for some reason.
Well, that's what this guy is arguing with green voices David
Green in the next clip we can play that should be I think it's
pretty short.
Yeah, sure. People in democracies all the time embrace
authoritarianism. There are all kinds of cases where that's the
case, people have the right to want to live in an authoritarian
state, they have the right to have their government, monitor
and spy on everybody. But at the same time, there are basic
individual rights that even majorities are not permitted to
infringe upon. That's why most Western countries have
constitutions and most countries around the world have subscribed
to treaty. So even if 89% or 97% of the people of a population
want to trample on the rights of others, they actually don't have
the right to do that even a democracy. And I think master
valence does that. But the more important point is, you know,
why did this terrorist attack occur, even though these western
countries are spending so much on, on surveillance? And I think
the answer is, is that if you focus on actual terrorists and
surveil them, you can be successful in stopping attacks.
But when you engage in mass surveillance, putting hundreds
of millions of people under a surveillance microscope, it
becomes extremely difficult to find the people who attack the
Boston Marathon or the people who attack Charlie Hebdo in
Paris, and I think it's a failure of governments when they
do even more mass surveillance in the wake of these attacks.
I think is a good point. But I think what Greenwald is missing
besides the fact that the other guy's arguing for the fascist
state and it's saying the public wants that, but I think what
Greenwald is missing is that he actually believes that these
guys are just wrong headed. With this mass surveillance. He
doesn't get the blackmail state aspect of it, or he's never once
mentioned that this is used for blackmail. This this
surveillance is for
or he's subject to it. I've always thought he was subject to
it.
Oh, he has a debt but now as you mentioned it
haven't seen a lot of Snowden docs has now been pushed off to
an Apple Apple. Apple thing Appelbaum I O error, who was now
a journalist for build. He and portra are writing articles.
Lunch rod, kwatra. portra. Now, here, and the latest article
was,
well, he definitely doesn't say anything new here. He's just
philosophizing. So you might be right. Maybe he is a subject to
the blackmail approach and who does work?
Here it is. This is the most recent one Snowden new Snowden
docs indicate scope of NSA preparations for cyber
battle. Cyber battle,
which is more PowerPoint, did you see that? There's a there's
a theme for what is the not open office yet? Or Libre Office?
There's a It's not called PowerPoint. What's it called?
presentation or whatever there?
Yeah, something like that.
They have a theme, which is the Snowden theme. Like those lame
ass PowerPoints, just they have this bracket. You just put your
own words in there, like oh, looks great. Which it is. I
mean, this is it's okay. Yeah, this is where and the article,
by the way is interesting in the regard that according to portra,
and Appelbaum, NSA, what they do is they hijack other people's,
they could hijack your computer, if you might have been subjected
to a botnet to take over and you are part of a botnet. They will
take your computer take over to hide to go basically making like
man in the middle, to go on attack, do counter attacks,
which I think should be should fall under the third amendment
that you can't have, you know, soldiers can't take over your
house in a time of war. Why should the NSA be allowed to
take over your computer in some kind of cyber was so called
cyber war?
I agree. It needs to go before the Supreme Court.
Yeah, right after the gay marriage thing we'll get right
to that's why I
tell people to turn your computer off at night. Yes.
There's no reason to leave that thing running. It's using a
valuable wattage.
And then someone else quite maybe an attorney sent me this
link. It's from what is UMKC the Kansas City USA University,
University of Kansas City. I think there's no University of
Kansas City. umkc.edu
what is that?
I don't know. Let's find out.
Un okay. And the UN it's a part of a project from the university
whatever university is called Exploring constitutional calm
conflicts.
It is the University of Missouri, Missouri.
At the issue, does the Constitution protect the right
of privacy? And his assertion is even though this article pretty
much says all the way through that, yes, of course, we have
the 14th Amendment. But we have, obviously the privacy of
beliefs. The First Amendment, we have the privacy of the home and
the third amendment, privacy of the persons or possessions in
the fourth. They don't put the fifth in here. But I would say
the fifth is privacy to your to your protecting your own self
and speech. The Ninth Amendment, the privacy do your thoughts,
your thoughts? Thank you. The Ninth Amendment, which a lot of
people say this kind of covers everything else. Yet, it is
asserted in this article that privacy is really only proven by
case law, and not by these actual articles, and that this
producer thinks that this also may come before the Supreme
Court. And he says that it's arguable that your actual
privacy is not constitutionally protected, that it is protected
by case law over years, and therefore, new legislation can
be created, which would protect your privacy, except of course,
we're a couple of annoying bits, like, you know, when the
government wants to read something, in case you're a
terrorist. Yeah. And that this is the direction things are
going. Yeah, that makes sense. No, it doesn't make sense. It
makes no sense. You can't make sense out of this. You can't
say that was just a screw us screw the public. Okay. But
would you say that your right to privacy is constitutionally
protected? Or do you think I would say yes, to that this is
going to be argued that it's no?
Well, this will be fun to watch. Yeah. For the show.
Yeah. But you know, I got the constitutional lawyers here.
There'll be lots of drinks, I'll have to have
the kind of bull crap you get from the Congress, because
they're, they don't care. And they're destroying the Boehner,
for example, that guy, douche bag. So I'm watching this, I'm
watching a hearing. And this came up. And I was just like,
oh, this is a massive one of the Rockies just outside of Boston,
I can't remember his name, but he's a Massachusetts
representative. And they're talking about the budget and how
they're gonna have to spend money this way. That way, the
other way, he's a Democrat. And he thinks that we got to think
more about infrastructure. And then he just drops a bomb in the
middle of this little discussion. That kind of ends on
it. And I'm just going oh, my God, this is now it's not, Mr.
Neal.
I think what we're trying to get to here is the idea that there
are economic outcomes that come from significant in
infrastructure investments that are not only long overdue, but
have been resisted by the majority in the House. And the
path forward seems to me to be one that would include, for
example, an investment in two huge union stations from
Hartford to Springfield, putting a lot of construction workers on
the job, the rail being improved broadband, having been extended
to the Hill towns of Western Massachusetts so that children
who by the way, live in communities that have first
class colleges have to go to the parking lot at the local library
during the evening hours, to connect to the internet. And I
think that those are the sorts of measurements that we want to
be assured of as we go forward. If we're only going to apply
this to tax cuts, and it seems to me as though it's ill
considered and if we decide that we're going to talk about long
term investments, better way to do it, then improving rail
transportation, and just for our colleagues here that are dubious
about high speed rail, that first train when we got to
Western Massachusetts on the way to Vermont into a couple of
small towns. That train got up to 79 miles an hour on the board
trains.
Planes ban
70 mile an hour, nine
miles an hour. didn't quite hit 80 Even though cars can go 80 on
the freeway we train could not get to 80 but this is by his
definition. High speed rail.
We we are limited by law in the great state of Texas to 85 miles
an hour by car.
Yeah. And high speed rail according to that is beautiful.
Is 79 miles an hour and and he's he's bragging about this as
though this is a big deal. We want to reassure you that we got
to 79 miles an hour what? What kind of maniac is this guy?
Oh, the same people who think 350 parts per million is a big
deal.
Well, they're all idiots.

Very beautiful. I agree. I saw that too was nice. Um
we're done.
No, we're not. I have two things. Couple things here.
So if you want to go to a new segment, we can do tech news.
Whoa, Oh man, you be making me crazy with that I'm ready.
My phone the way I see it the only good phones a landline and
the phone should be made out of Bakelite.
Remember, there's nothing like tech news when someone says it's
been a while since I've seen a Nokia like that. It is Sunday.
It's time for tech news. Are you going up to two? No, no,
no, no, no, no. No. Portlandia uninvited? No, no, it was
inviting. Go.
Go whenever you want. Well, tech news. What do you got John on
the Tonight data robot report. Oh, this sound doesn't need an
intro.
Actually, let me just before you run it, I will mention that the
sound is robot report sounds vaguely familiar and Ally
explain after the report is over.
This sounds like the stuff of science fiction but we may be
just a few years away from having our own personal robots
to help out with household chores. Chris Van Cleave reports
the robot revolution is already taking hold at one popular San
Jose store. I can help you find things in the store.
This California hardware store the future is now follow me. The
OSH pod helps customers find what they're looking for.
I think I'm here you're looking for unique items. Something like
this is ideal.
The test program is part of a robot revolution. From a cruise
ship bartender to an all seen security guard or a hotel Butler
robots are increasingly joining the workforce. Hospitals are
using them to disinfect exam rooms and Amazon employs an army
of robots to fill orders. This robot technology could soon be
coming to many homes. So is this the lab where the future comes
to life? We hope so. Peter Allen is a robotics professor at the
Columbia University School of Engineering in New York. He sees
a bright future where people can buy their own personal robot
assistant
people are gonna say you know I want one to you know, fold my
laundry or answer my door or go get me a beer for the fridge
All right. Okay, yeah last thing in particular was the fridge
again. Now this of course we if you do any research, which I
failed to do often but this time I didn't. This is obviously a
precursor planet story. God knows. You know what the who,
who's behind you, but it's a public relations company to
promote the movie Chappie comes out on March. Trapeze 2015 was
Chappie as the story is after being kidnapped by two criminals
during birth Chappie becomes the adopted son of the strange and
dysfunctional family. Chappie is one of a kind and prodigy he
also happens to be a robot, the robot buddy movie coming out in
March. And so that's talking about robots. But what I got a
kick out of was this bring you a beer, which is what triggered
this to be
isn't that isn't that what you have a wife for? Well,
the bring me a beer robot appeared in 1981 1982. When and
robot was actually a company run by Nolan Bushnell. And in the
80s when I was in was the editor of info world that time we did a
what's going to happen the next year. And you know, we it's a
yearly prediction thing we ask different experts, people that
show up and
what's gonna happen, we're gonna have wearables, wearables,
wearables, everybody predicted that 1982, I believe was the
year was targeted, was going to be the year of the robot. Now
the year of the robot, now these Bushnell had these two robots
that he came out with an interest all these other robots
that showed up, and they were useless robots. They were
programmed by an apple, and usually had to be hooked up to
the apple. Which robot was this? This was the and robot company.
And there was two robots that he designed. If you look at Bad
Robot on wiki, the wiki you'll find, you'll find the robots
listed. They had names, I can't remember what their names are.
But the one thing that was noteworthy was at the stet. The
Comdex show that year, they had these robots, and one was
specifically designed to get a beer.
So this is nothing new. This is old.
But the robot has some little basket and then he was like a
ride the road to the refrigerator. I have no idea how
he managed to open the refrigerator. But he pulled out
the refrigerator. There's a special device in there that was
like one of those things for a Lionell train that would put
barrels on it on a car, and it would roll down this little
thing into the little basket that the robot had and then the
robot would close the door and go all the way back and give you
the beer. And so I heard this at oh my god the beer. This was
like 30 years ago.
I have the official trailer. This is some movie John Hugh
Jackman. Sigourney Weaver. Yeah. Let's see what's going on here.
Let's see. This has been approved for appropriate
audiences. So that should be Okay for the no agenda listener,
hit it. Tension music. Here comes Chappie. Oh, it's from the
director of district nine. Okay.
Oh, it was gonna be dystopian. I'd hated that movie.
This the robots pouring milk on the floor. Because of course the
robot is dumb. You say the robot has to be programmed to that can
think and feel. I can feel. Yeah. To me Chappie, Chappie.
Wow. Okay, that looks horrible. Oh, that's good. Yes. This these
are all solutions looking for a problem that has been ongoing.
Ever since I've been involved in anything computers, which goes
back to the Sinclairs Zed X ad. Think that was my first
computer.
Yeah, yeah. No, it's always been a Yeah, you're right. It's
exactly as
always been. The fridge will know when to order the milk.
Yeah, all this bull crap. You know, robot gets you a beer.
I'd take a blow job.
Well, no, but better be better looking in this Shappi things. A
horrible looking thing. So given stay tuned for chapter you'll
hear a few more robot stories out there. Promoting, not
directly promoting. That's the cool thing about it. Yeah. Just
make you aware. The awareness thing that works so well. It's
good. It's good. Well, while we're on public, can I close the
tech news segment? Yes. All right.
My phone.
Yay. Yay, yay, yay. Yay. Thank you. All right. That's tech
news. But let's stay with movies. This year, but it's the
Academy Awards like this Sunday. today or tonight? Why don't you
know, I think it's in about three or four weeks. So we had
the nominations.
Oh, yeah. Did you hear about Sharpton? No. Oh, yeah. Big
headlines. Oh, Sharpton calls for an emergency meeting. And
then Whitehouse two regarding this these awards? Because
apparently let's see what the headlines. They're
racist. Yes, yes, I know. But this is what I'm tying into with
a clip.
Sharpton, this is a short Al Sharpton calls emergency
meeting. emergency funding was all white Oscar lists on the
second? How can they put up with this idiot?
Who did he call for an emergency meeting at the White House?
Well, he's the White House going, Oh,
I know. But I want to I want to know what this is. Hold on a
second key accidentally say Sharpton emergency meeting.
This is the only good nomination was Selma? Well, no,
this says Selma is the problem. Because Selma did not get all of
the nominations that should have and of course, Oprah didn't get
nominated. So this is this is the real problem. The Queen has
not been nominated Al Sharpton criticized for calling emergency
meeting. He calls emergency meeting. We just see it because
it's an emergency. It is this. We need to we need to stop this
immediately. Okay. So all of a sudden, everywhere. There's this
thing going around. The Oscar nominating committee, white
racists hate the black man hate the black man hate the black
woman. This is why Selma has been snubbed. And they had an
actual conversation about this. I'm sorry. We need to have a
conversation about this is a conversation we should have in
America. A conversation about our Oscars. We need an emergency
meeting.
According to the Los Angeles Times investigation 94% of the
academy 6000 Plus voting members were white as of 2012. Since I
tell you racist, racist. It also says that after that
investigation came out the academy made efforts to be more
diverse in terms of those that vote on the video. Notes that
that is an African American has been president of the Academy
token 2013 Token, Mark to you are these things that should be
considered in the debate,
they should be considered. But again, certain forms of
representation don't make the problem resolved. There's a
President of the United States doesn't mean that race isn't
still an issue. Hollywood has a diversity problem. Hollywood has
diversity problem, depending on the production lead to
production level in terms of who gets greenlit for films and in
terms of who gets represented on screen. That's something we have
to work through. Just because a black person doesn't get an
award doesn't mean Hollywood is racist, but let's be clear,
Hollywood is racist. There
you go. Hollywood is racist. Hollywood is racist.
Unbelievable. We need it we have to find something I Hollywood's
racist. My good yes. Hello. Yes. Hollywood racist. Did you not
read the emails? Why are the why are these Hollywood bigwigs
rooting and the woman the Sony, the Sony, Sony girl? Why have
they not been vilified? No, no, no, because they're Democrats.
And the only thing they get is well, it's sensitive is ruined
organized or emails were exposed to the public bullshit these
these people are racist cocksuckers
new
Liberal voice you like my liberal boss is taking it out
you got that from Texas
I think so. I have to tell you i like it it's
a good boy it's
kind of a little bit of valley girl but you have to throw some
Rachel Maddow kind of a yeah you're swallowing it so you have
too little nasal but really Hollywood's alright
so that's what Al Sharpton should have called an emergency
meeting about the one of the biggest producers in the
business right?
Nailed it there Democrats can't do that. It can't and it's and
I'm sure they hated the academy that black guys probably
Republican. But, you know, the black Republican is
nothing new was nice. Here's what's next. This is coming.
You're ready for it. Write it down in the book. Write it down.
Write it down. Write it down. NASCAR is racist. No black
NASCAR drivers. Is there one single black net and NASCAR
driver? No,
there might be in the lesson not in the cup. Not in the top
category.
Racist. I tell you it's good ol boys racist keeping the black
man down. We're really the black man is just thinking bitch I'm
not getting in that car. That's how the black man crazy. Just
crazy. I'm like a drive around and left hand turn the whole
time. That's just nuts. Basketball was racist. I'm
sorry. That's reverse racism. What am I talking about? Oh, I
hate I have all the things I don't like. You know, the end.
There's the fear mongering about you know, ISIS and the brand
ISIS and we're going to come and kill you. And, and Bibi if
you're, you know, cower in the corner. Okay. But the racist
thing like this a whole Al Sharpton stuff. He makes me mad.
This guy is an extortionist. He's a crook. He's a crook. He's
a crook. And he has been he gets to call emergency meetings
crook, crook. Thankfully, the whole government is crooked. And
this was I think one of the two bad Matt didn't ask the
question. It would have been fine. Matt and Marie show, Marie
Harf. I did have to answer the question first. Here she is in
this one time at bandcamp. I stuck a flute my pussy.
Special Inspector General for Afghanistan reconstruction said
that the State Department spent 4 billion on a counter narcotic
initiatives in Afghanistan. Despite this, the United Nations
recorded that Afghanistan set of records for producing opium in
2014. And that 80% of the total opium production in the world
comes from Afghanistan. Was it the goal of the United States
government to eradicate Poppy production? And meanwhile, we've
had forces there for 13 years.
All right, before we go to the answer, first of all, this girl
is new to the press corps.
He was gonna be kicked out. He's cute. And he was nice.
I don't know her name.
She's very cute. She is a great question, by the way. And I
don't use that lightly because I was ridiculed be able to say
that. But I think in this context, it was a great question
because she, she looked at the one thing $4 billion being spent
on drugs in Afghanistan, some goon, what way to use it was a
marketing that for billions of marketing, and distribution has
got to be water was used for
just just for local marketing, and craft services. Absolutely.
Most of it with a meal in the fields.
So the question is, what if we put $4 billion over 13 years
into eradicating eradicating poppies. And as we know, we
looked at the the United Nations Office for drugs and something
its office in drugs, whatever, that the when they say Poppy
productions up, they literally mean the fields are bigger,
there are more poppy fields. So this $4 billion was somehow not
sufficient to reduce the size of the poppy fields, which are
right next to all the camps. And we
assumed that the $4 billion wasn't really used to reduce
anything but maybe by some ploughing year and hire some
people.
That's 4000 million dollars. It's a lot of money. 4000
million dollars for some poppy fields. Well, let's listen to
the answer.
Let me check with our folks. Obviously, folks,
we need to check with our folks. Let me check with our folks
about that. I'm not so sure we've
had forces there.
Let me check with our folks. Obviously, while we've had a
military operations underway in Afghanistan, we have focused on
other issues.
We were busy. We were busy with other stuff,
including the narcotics trade. Certainly we've talked about
this a lot and I know we have put a great deal of effort into
helping the Afghans grow there. capabilities to crack down on
this. Let me know how
to help them grow their capabilities. For more you have
growing capabilities for more growing, please check with
our team and see I hadn't seen that cigar report.
Oh, I have to, I have to check with our team about the $4
billion. How annoying
helping the Afghans grow their capabilities to crack down on
this. Let me check with our team and see I hadn't seen that cigar
report.
I'm happy to share that. The Congressional Research Service
says quote after 2014 the State Department does not plan to have
a permanent Counter Narcotics. President presence outside
Kabul. Has the US government given up on trying to stop post
war Afghanistan from being the opium production capital, I
can certainly answer your second question and say no, obviously,
staffing and where people are located, I can check and see if
there's a specific reason for that. But clearly, we have
people in Afghanistan and back at the State Department very
focused on this issue
there. Yes, I would say this is the best question and the best
answer I've heard and in the State Department in years
it didn't answer the question. That's why
it's a great great question. Great answer. She said. She said
she literally said I got to talk to my folks. I'm not familiar
with this report.
She's not as good as Saki would have had a tab for this.
Yeah, but that's why I'm saying this girl is coming in she's
some kind of Silla Rama she knows I'd have never seen her
before she has her eyes. She has mascara on but who kind of the
the way some women do it where you look like a raggedy and all
like the you know, like give big pop and eyes with the you know,
with your your lashes like hey, I need to know who she is.
poppin you know what I mean, though, right? With a Yeah, Emma
Stone. Does that look?
Yes, yes. And Emma Stone lover? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Exactly.
Ran into an interesting little tidbit on book TV, which is one
of the things I really enjoyed the span three, I watched it all
the time. And there's a little anecdote of little for the
Reagan followers that people Reagan was the greatest. This
guy wrote a book on Reagan, and he worked with him since the
50s. Apparently, and he says Reagan never had any friends,
which I thought was interesting. But he had this little
apparently a feud or mood. I guess it didn't last that long
because the guy was assassinated. But he had a thing
going on, that I think was interesting to me anyway, with
Bobby Kennedy, who I've always believed is kind of a corrupt
character. It's at some level.
Reagan had a hero in the form of Eisenhower, but he also had a
villain. not well understood is the arch villain in Reagan's
life was Robert Kennedy. He became Reagan's supreme nemesis
for unusual reasons. In 1961, upon becoming his brother's
Attorney General, Bobby Kennedy pursued corruption with a
vengeance. As a sidebar, he also targeted political opponents. In
February 62, Kennedy hauled Reagan before a grand jury two
weeks later, after his justice department after that, the
Justice Department subpoenaed Reagan's tax returns. The matter
never resulted in an indictment. But in April of that year,
Reagan lost his job as host of The General Electric's Reagan's
teenage kids got to got that news over lunch one Sunday. I
just lost my job. The future president told his son Michael
to Kennedy's threatened General Electric. His daughter Maureen
confirmed that conversation in her memoirs, saying, quote,
Bobby Kennedy had a hand in this cancellation.
Wow, I think I've heard this about the General Electric
thing. But it wasn't religious. Is
it mean that just a corrupt operator or push they get pushed
around a lot? I don't know what it
is. Who was running GE back not Welch, who was running GE back?
Pre Welch? I
don't know he must be.
Huh. But
that was just a good little thing that
I liked that
was this on the Discovery Channel where they do healing
or this was on the C span. TV right guys got a book, right?
Everybody has a book,
by the way. I like book TV because you don't have to read
these books. They bring these guys on and they pretty much
tell you everything that's in the book and the thesis and this
and the subplots and everything from the beginning to the end,
and is concise from the horse's mouth from the book author, and
you felt like you've read the book. It's a very convenient
little show.
Yeah, I like reading the book though.
I like reading the book too. I got that some books like The
Hindus that you couldn't possibly talk and you'd be been
the show would be 20 hours long. But there's some of these lesser
books you know, I don't really feel like reading I'm I'd rather
than here with the gods and just saying I'm done. Well, I started
to read the demand. That thing is a big book. I got the
hardcover the what have Wendell the the one you recommended
about the world history. Quigley. Quigley book? Yeah. And
has the underbridge I got the right one. I don't have I
get the right one. I still get it still on Amazon. The right
one. Yeah, that's
the one and it's a beautiful book just to you know,
it's a great read and what I like about it like the Bible.
Yeah. How do you not it's not really that linear. Yeah, I've
been just trying to plow through it. I started the beginning, but
it's it's a big book. It's thick. Yeah, it's a monster. And
I got this other book, which, which is blondies. Photographed
by her husband, Chris. It's all it's a great it's a picture
book. Yes,
I know that. It's far it's beautiful.
It's all 70s bands in New York. A lot of it of course, Debbie
Harry.
Mosley is around. Debbie Harry. In you,
man. Oh, no wonder we are so in love with her. So beautiful.
I got I ran into her once in New York. Oh, really? Yeah.
I don't think I've ever that's one person. I don't think I've
ever met her.
Wow, she's still around.
Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yes. I need to go on a quest to meet
Debbie hero Peter. We were playing in the Fab Five Freddy.
The Rapture. Man. That was the jam. That was our jam. First, I
would say first crossover rap. Debbie Harry with Russia. Okay,
Russia says to grease eggs in Europe and we will lift the food
import ban. This is coming up on the 25th this is going to be
very interesting to see what happens with this snap election.
And I mean, I think everyone's ready for it. I think the Grexit
is real. Meanwhile, we are seeing Schengen Visas being the
Schengen Area visa is being enabled. I think that this would
make something
an area Yeah,
there's this other you have the Schengen Agreement, the Schengen
region, which is what it is,
where's the Schengen region region?
This is the borderless Europe, the EU and and basically the UK
is the number one guys who are not a part of it. So if you fly
in or out if you come into the UK, your passport gets checked,
it's not a free walk on through. And if you fly from the UK, to
any other EU country, a member state I should say your passport
you go through passport control. They Yeah, even though you have
right right now can I remember? That's the Schengen area,
Schengen area Yeah. The European countries that have abolished
passport control right? Which is hilarious when you drive it
around the area you go right past the thing that we used to
be passport control Yeah. Okay.
But part of there's a lot of this go there part of this is
also the ESA program which is now being called for in US
Congress to at least kick some countries off that's the Visa
Waiver Program which would be a horrible mistake but this is one
of these boneheads they think oh we have to do this oh
immigration oh they're coming ice is gonna come and kill us
sick and tired brand ISIS gonna come in and kill us. But anyway
in Europe, so everyone's all freaked out about all kinds of
things. Russia of course you know, now we have what is the
most recent thing that Russia has done? Well, here's here's
what Lithuania This is from RT I thought it was this from RT? Not
sure. Yeah. The mocking tone makes it from RT Lithuania is
preparing for the Russian invasion.
A Russian occupation Survival Manual is to be distributed in
Lithuania. The country's defense minister said yeah, not rule out
future Russian aggression following its alleged activities
in Ukraine. And it seems pretty serious, genuine wartime advice
like this, keeping a sound mind and not panicking. That's the
key to surviving occupation. Don't panic, save water. But if
things get really bad, perhaps you can resort to drinking out
of the toilet. And get curious if you have fighting just run
for your life. But keep in mind that gunshots outside your
window. It's not the end of the world. You can fight the
occupiers with strikes and rallies and don't try too hard
at work.
There's no winning. We don't like to foster a competitive
atmosphere but we laugh a lot. Now everyone hug and share a
secret.
That's a goodie. Yeah,
that's a classic. Yeah,
that's, that's what's happening. And I am really enjoying reading
all the European publications about the Muslim problem which
has been on the radar for a good 20 years and here it is a
incited induced or not? It is really really really messing
with people's heads.
Yeah well that's that's how it works.
Yeah it is now those of you listening to the no agenda show
best podcast in the universe obviously you know how to look
through this look past this to not be scared and second
literally made ill by yes the propaganda which is what we do
and for that very reason we need your support dvorak.org/na
