And they've had people write in saying, Yeah, guy's full of
crap. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, February 8 2015. It's time for your getting our nation
media assassination Episode Six, nine or four. This is no agenda.
protecting citizens not voted off the island this week from
the crackpot condo in the capital of FEMA Region six
Austin Tejas in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and I'm from Northern Silicon Valley where it's raining. I'm
John C. Dvorak.
Ready, it's raining it is. And it's snowing in New York as
well. I'm going tomorrow.
And I had the range to work in and work in is Mojo. Good work,
good work. And that's where we have snow in New York to Thanks.
Could be some thinking of should do. I should do a meet up. I'm
in New York.
Yes, you should. Absolutely. Why not? Well, why would you not
want to hadn't that? Well, I
hadn't really thought about it yet. So
I started thinking like, here's two things we have to do. We
have
to start thinking like IT professionals.
We have this thinking about meetups and handing out CDs.
So two things I want to reply is one, do you never go anywhere.
So you're talking about me doing meetups? Yes.
I had a huge meetup in Michigan.
How long ago was that was because it was a paid gig was a
while ago. That's all right. All right. Yes. So I need a venue. I
need it. I need to figure out we're going to do this. Okay.
And it'll probably think Tanya would help. Yes. Well, we have
oh, we haven't we have a number of nights and days. We have very
helpful Yes, we have a drone poster night. He wants to hook
up with a couple of people nick the rat. I'm sure everybody
wants to hang out. Be fun. Okay, so but I mean, I think the hotel
that because I have a free room. I think it's a really good one
to actually, like it's just Pennsylvania hotels that ring a
bell? Yeah.
isn't that bad? It's a great hotel. feels love it.
Yay. All right. We'll have the meet up there. Oh, man, John, I
have a disturbing trend I need to report on. Okay. Yes. Now
that I've seen, I've had two experiences with this. I can
speak of a trend or do you need three data points to have a
trend? You could
you could call a trend at two but three, it confirmed Okay.
The first time I witnessed this zombie, it's not even a
zombification. It is a it is just proof that that the large
swaths of the population have become zombies. This started
with the Carole King story, the musical you'll recall, went to
see the show and it's not just tapestry. You know, there's all
kinds of songs that Carole King wrote and, and her writing
partners and her friends and you know, from up on the roof to do
the local motions and you know, it was a toe tapping time.
Right. She was a master toe Tapper. Except no one in the
audience was told to happen. You told
me this. The first time you Yes, you went to see the show and you
bitched about Yes, yes, incessantly and you actually
bitched about it since
well, because now we have a trend as I went to see rain
Friday night here on Broadway in Austin. This is what this is
called. Okay, this is the the the Beatles musical. And yeah,
have you you haven't seen this? I
don't I wouldn't go see it. Why not? I mean, I grew up kind of
grew up with the Beatles. I think I've had my Beatles full
fill my Beatles Phil. Yeah.
Okay, that's fair enough. This was at the bass Concert Hall,
which had not been to this is big. I had no this is on UTS
campus. And this Oh, yeah, I'd say this is a Broadway sighs
sighs
Well, Broadway is actually generally speaking aren't that
big? They're 1200. Maybe? I'm talking just a big venue.
Yeah, I'm talking purely about the the width of the stage
really? The stage Yeah, the Broadway stage stage. And I
didn't know what to expect. I thought it would be a little bit
more like a like a nice little play. Yeah, I thought. Let's put
on a show. I thought there would be a little storyline but it is
missing
High School. I saw Bye Bye Birdie done by the high school
play. Yeah, it was the best version I've ever seen. Okay, so
don't demean high school play.
I'm not abuse started it. Well, of course. And I thought there
would be a storyline but no, it's it's like, for now. It's
actually five dudes because they have a keyboard player and they
perform the Beatles.
That's the show. You're basically
you're going your way when you're buying tickets. You're
going to a Broadway venue to watch a
cover cover band Exactly. To see a cover of the bar and
especially in Austin. Yeah.
And the band doesn't even get paid in Austin. If they're a
cover band. They just got a piece of the door or whatever.
or the bar? I
don't know. Would you like this door knob?
Now I have to say I enjoyed it because it was it was just the
Beatles Greatest Hits. And you look at the playbill book, these
dudes from Brooklyn and what? Hello, Austin, get up and you
want to clap Austin because everyone was a frickin zombie,
John, they're all sitting there. No one's moving.
To be honest about personally, I don't like audience
participation, where I have to clap or I have to jump up and
clap my hands over my head or any of this crap that Bono would
do.
Okay. Well, I feel that if you're if the if you have a
band, it's about the music. This is the music of the Beatles. And
it was pretty much the Beatles Greatest Hits. How can you not
even move a little bit?
Well, yeah, the move if it was done, we'll show you me tapping
your toe. Dance in the aisle. Yeah, I was ready for it been
spinning?
There was none of this. None of this. That Austin? Oh, no, I
don't think this is awesome. I don't do spinning. Listen, I
believe that people don't their brains are so trained to watch
television or have something unfold in front of them. That is
from a so called historical perspective or something. And
they don't know. It shuts off all of their brain functions.
He's like, I'm watching what the Beatles used to look like on the
edge. Where we're really just a cover band, you know, kicking
ass and you should be at least singing along a little bit
mouthing the words can we get some of that? I'd bring my
harmonica everybody
is there anybody in the audience with a tambourine?
We can get it going here. So I thought there was something
funny that happened though. So I took a nurse Tracy because she
knows the Beatles songs. I figured I'd be there with
someone who was sing along with me. And then we're in row Q,
which is an orchestra is in pretty good seats. salaries. And
then and I think was maybe intermission because I had an
intermission where you go get alcohol which is desperately
needed. Because no one's moving. And then oh, we need to take a
selfie. Okay, so um you know I got the new phone and we I'll
take a selfie I'm not gonna post it but I'll take it I'll take a
selfie just pretend.
Oh, yeah. You've posted selfies before and I can prove it.
That's right. I did not post This one however, I believe I do
need to post this now. Okay, why? Because behind us
RNA was right behind you. mugging close
upon review of said to selfies that were taken behind us was
row R which has a broad row to facilitate the wheelchairs and
the art was right on with the description of these people.
There are people who are severely development
developmentally delayed photobombing us in the back the
background is unbelievable good for
all serious taking selfies in the background. Okay,
well here's here's the deal. Here's the deal. Just because we
have to we do everything we can to promote the newsletter.
Oh yes newsletter photo Exactly. Perfect
information letter. Wednesday
is wonderful. This girl is having a good time he's zooming
in a little bit in the background
and they actually had a good time
well good for that
yes if one of the classic selfie epic fails that happened from
time to time that'd be good for the newsletter. Good idea.
All right, well, I've got a couple of things I want to get
out of the way let's rock and roll first of all the hugging
the hugging promising the I'm gonna be explained where modern
hugging came from and why people there's so much yes and where it
began. And I tracked it down by doing a lot of searches for hugs
and you know whatever
Stopstopstop we I'm not quite sure what that is the genesis of
this the multiple air kisses in Europe and all this Where's what
is the what did we come up with this that we needed to do this?
We
didn't do come we did I came up with it. What is going to be Why
are Americans hugging more than ever is going into bro Pat bang
bang bang, right? Once bang you know there's a lot of
the the bro black back slam. Yeah. And I
can you can document this yourself. Anyone can do this.
And it has to do with again the powers of the president. This is
all Bill Clinton. Really? If you if you go to Google and type in
hugs, or a hug Bill Clinton or a hug Ronald Reagan or a hug
George Bush you see the demarcation? Yeah, hug Jimmy
Carter. The demarcation between every Buddy else in the past,
including Reagan, who was a whole new deposit this pictures
of him hugging. Oh my god, it's like he's gonna drop dead. He
doesn't want to do it so much.
Google actually changed my search term and said Did you
mean huge Bill Clinton? Thanks. Thanks. Anyway, you'll
see lots of pictures of Bill Clinton hugging hugging, hugging
the big huggers massive hugger and he as a president is one of
the things they do is they are essentially more around I use
the word moral imperatives they're the ones who decide they
set the tone they set the culture oral tone for the nation
and so if they start doing something a lot and then they
keep doing it for and he did it for eight years and then they
George Bush HW did some hugging but very little and then the
younger Bush George Bush re invigorated hugging and now is
established. And of course
Obama is a guy's uh, but he's more like he's like hip hop hug.
Yeah, it's but it's a hug still and it still works and everybody
hugs now and it
but there is a difference because with Obama is like you
you clasp hands and like what we used to call the soul brother
handshake. And then you bring each other close like, Yo, bro,
you do one? And then you back off is like one?
Yeah, but that's not going anywhere. Is that real? Is that
the fist bump is Yeah, no,
it's no alert Jay Z that this is going nowhere.
It's going nowhere. It's already done. We got the hugs. Everyone
has everyone likes to hug. They hug especially in California.
They hug it all the time. And people still moan about it. But
they moan about it only because it's recent, because it was
Clinton hold on who's
moaning about it.
People moan about oh, I can't hug. There's sitcoms about it.
I don't Well, all right. Sorry. I didn't I
didn't Oh, I'm not a hugger on any one tries have ambushed the
guy so he has to hug me weak replot. But
how about the bump fist? Into explosion?
Yeah, yeah,
I hate that one.
Anyway, so Clinton, you can you can really see it when you start
doing some searches. And Clinton brought it in and I became
becoming or I'm getting to the point where I think Clinton was
is going to go down in history as one of the most influential
presidents because the change this the way people greet with
hugs is a major differential from the past. And he's the one
who allowed blow jobs. Yeah, not the sex. That's correct. And it
became an epidemic and all everybody again, there was a lot
of stories but ice
is still an epidemic now that I'm single, I just need to know
the epidemic. Are you
getting a Magister what were casually walking down the
street. That's not that's a good time to be alive. Clinton has
done a lot of stuff like this. And so it's the hugs come from
Clinton, and anyone can make up whatever story they want. But if
you do some research, you'll see that they didn't exist the way
they do today until Clinton came around. And the rest is history.
Nice. Now the other one, which I said would be a revelation I
teased in the newsletter is comes from a letter.
What is the what was the other one? What
the other revelation? Okay, something you'll you're gonna go
oh, we should Black
do you need? Do you need some some tension music or something
to get this going to make this feel right? Don't
you mean one of those sort of that little hit that you have?
Something like that? That will work? Yeah.
Okay. Now, I don't know how we kind of miss this because we
actually didn't miss it as in the book and all the rest of it.
But But, but Jim Bentley comes in with a letter and he says,
quick reminder, he says, you said that the Disney measles
story would be the start of a network war between ABC NBC CBS
right with that perspective. I think Brian Williams scandal
might be related. Yeah, I would
agree. All right, here's John C. Dvorak to bring it home.
Yeah, the Williams scandal started with the newspaper Stars
and Stripes. He says yes, this is Karatbars Stripes is run from
the Defense Department. If Adam is right, that ABC is closest to
the administration, then it's plausible that ABC News or the
ABC executive or an ABC executive, we know who that
would be push they hit peace through the DOD. And then it
just caught fire. I have a but before we go there I want to
mention that if you look at the Daily Mail who I have not traced
why they're so into this but they are blasting as Murdock
Murdock Murdock is the Daily Mail is not owned by murder. I
thought it was isn't isn't by really am in some trading group
at some other guy operations.
I'm sorry. Well, because the New York Post is owned by Murdoch,
correct? Yes.
Now the new things that have come to light I think they've
really gotten him pulled off the air which he is now. Yeah, he
pulled himself off. Yeah. we
age. And
I'd like to, before you go any further, John, it's important
that we deconstruct this particular story. People. What
is this? That not that anyone said that but I know people why
do we care about this Real News? No, actually, this is what's
happening here with Brian Williams, and the lying and the
complete fabrication of facts, is of course what goes on in
mainstream news that you are now looking at Brian Williams is the
taint of the mainstream news industry. And if we don't
deconstruct this now, you won't be able to recognize your
future. So this is very important to
us back with Williams apparently when he would during Katrina, he
was lying about all sorts of things, along with Richard Engel
who was there for some reason, and he also made the statement
they saw somebody fall off the roof of the dome in New Orleans
and then he changed that story that he heard that somebody fell
off the roof then he said he saw a floating body and then
apparently
he got sick dysentery from from
from drinking the water, which everyone says is bogus. And he
also made the claim in some other venue that he had saved a
puppy from a burning building
now Okay, stop. I have no I gotta say another thing,
I believe, major hit piece.
I believe that the reason why this resonates so well with
people what is going on with Brian Williams is because every
single person has done this type of embellishment. And to the to
the extent they don't even know they are embellishing anymore. I
think that is human behavior. Don't embellish. You don't think
that you have ever told a story that got better over time? I
have
probably lost track of a story the way Williams claims but I
wouldn't know. I understand. I understand
with a with an RPG in my life. told a story like that. No,
I understand that. I'm just saying that.
I saved a puppy. Whatever. I haven't saved any puppy from a
burning building.
It's a personality disorder actually what he has why? Well
it's narcissistic personality disorder. Yes. Hello.
You think he's narcissist that that guy Jaya think
let me play the this is a good wrap up
NBC anchor of narcissistic.
I could that be? I wanted to I have a good little piece here
because once I saw this once I saw Fox was it to was a fox
Sunday show whatever. Jump on this. I knew this guy is so
toast. This is how it wasn't Howard.
By the way. I want to mention that I said he was toast. Yeah,
you
were right. You're predicted correctly. He may never return.
He might not. Here's a
here's the high end. Howard Kurtz.
How bad is this for Brian Williams and nightly news,
Howard.
Once it's very hard to fathom how an anchor of Brian Williams
is stature and experience could tell this full story and it's
created a credibility crisis for NBC News. He was right to
apologize to some Army veterans for the Stars and Stripes
newspaper that he was not on the chopper that was hit. And the
difficult thing here is when he is blaming the fog of memory and
conflating two events. If you're on a helicopter that gets hit by
a rocket propelled grenade and is forced to land, I would think
you would never forget that.
Yeah, no, we understand that you have such a Glee over what is
happening to Brian. And by the way, your buddy Ryan Williams,
you look at the guy everyone knows he's not a you know, like
a real hard hitting news journalist guy. Everybody knows
who was doing plastic surgery, you human interest pieces of New
Jersey, at least in the trice they lose reader isn't exactly
the handsome one.
Well, with a crooked nose
here is the best version of the lie. I like this one a lot. This
is Brian Williams. Do you remember when Alec Baldwin had a
show? Or like a radio show? In New York? Yeah, he
had a show on MSNBC.
This is his radio show that he had. And that begat him the
MSNBC show though. He was a PBS show. And he had Brian Williams
on and listen to these two guys. And it's kind of well on the one
hand, it's kind of sad, but really, this is how these guys
think this is who they are. They believe in themselves. They
believe Alec Baldwin is just as bad. This here we go definition
listen to narcissistic personality disorder in action.
We now go to the wild
pinch me. One of the ways we succeeded was we just jumped out
of the plane and we pulled the ripcord and we just took it one
step at a time. And we turn around the next you know, We're
escaping.
Yeah, there's the I got this syndrome. Yeah, I guess I do say
to myself and others. Yes, I can. I've got this and I don't
know where that unbridled confidence came from and I've
done some ridiculously stupid things under that banner like
being in a helicopter I had no business being in in Iraq with
rounds coming into the airframes even
better now rounds
I didn't this is a great kid rounds coming into the airframe
rounds I
briefly thought it would die there have been probably handled
but
yeah and until yourself that's the job
yeah oh absolutely go and sense and cover feel these dual wars
do we have asked these millions of terrific Americans to go
fight and they've raised lots of volunteer malpractice
Brian Williams look at my testicles Google me crazy these
people
wow you could get covered of the day if you want it for that. No,
if you're not if you don't really feel like it's Oh, I mean
I do but so early in the show so like the first clip I'm
sorry, I'm off to clinical
must know there's nothing else coming so people you can now
detune or you can just know that use D two In
fact, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna stop the recording. We're
good to go. That was it done. We're done. Wow. But these
people these guys really believe they're doing this. And it's
they're so full of themselves. Yeah. Yeah,
pull the ripcord whatever we need to. We're just crazy like
that. We have no no fear. We I Brian Williams news man of the
hour. Everyone wants to be Dan Rather than rather actually.
Went in there with Vietnam. You go in with his helmet. And
Oh, Dan rather's has some you can tell me where his reports
came from. And he's ever bragging about this now? He just
does his thing. He's really good, too. I mean, I was. It may
he's always been. He's slanted. He's a left wing kind of slant.
Sure. Everything Sure. But which is fine. I don't care. But he is
very good at asking the right questions at the right time when
so he doesn't get punched out? Because I think he's been
punched out. Right. So obviously, yeah, you shouldn't
be it's an art. Yeah.
Well, what didn't you get when you asked? Was it Bragin? Who do
you ask a quiet like a at one of the conventions? And he asked
somebody was a famous question. And then someone punched him or
I have to look it up is badass. Texan I might point out
all right, when it was so that's it, I thought we'd get that out
of the way. Get the Brian Williams stuff. Yeah. And get
back to the more more reasonable stories about things like arming
in the Ukraine. Yeah.
Joe Biden is representing us as being the United States of Gitmo
nation at the Munich Security Conference. This is the big one.
Where it's a it's a trade show. It's a it's a fair, really, that
everyone's got all kinds of cool stuff that there's no where's
their selling, and you can put in your orders, and everybody
seemed to be there. Of course, Joe is representing us. Angle is
there we have the Russian contingent, and don't Joe laid
it down once again,
and Russian President Vladimir Putin stance were constants in
the debates,
we will continue to provide Ukraine with security
assistance, not to encourage war, but to allow Ukraine to
defend itself. Oh, let me be clear. I do not believe there is
a military solution in Ukraine. But President Putin has to make
a simple stark choice. Stark get out of Ukraine. We're faced
continued isolation and growing economic costs.
Now, Joe, not mincing words.
Well, this is
there's a split, by the way, there is a rift.
Yes, the rift is really between us. And everyone. Let's be
specific. The rift is between John McCain, Lindsey Graham and
the rest of the world. And somehow, idiots like Carrie are
on board, kind of. You're kind of wishy washy about the best
reporting on this, I think because it's been kind of funny
and cynical, has been on our tea. Right? And but I don't have
I have some arty stuff, but I got most of my stuff from
having a little bit here. Where we are brought what is brought
to our attention is from your own news, actually. That the the
rift is really an angular Merkel is splitting away from this
coalition.
Yeah, she feels that yeah, she doesn't she says outright that.
Well, let's listen to the report and we can get the
details. Yes, Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko the President
this is the chocolate chip questions from the floor he
ruled out accepting any change to territorial lines enshrined
in the Minsk agreement. We need
to have election political dialogue closing the border,
withdraw all the foreign troops immediately release of the
hostages and all other things which is a very significant and
important important component of the peace plan
I love the hostages call isn't a good way to get hostages
hostages. The what I would like to see what I find interesting
is this is one of those and it's bothers us to know and another
one of those those statements of fact that actual Russian troops
are in Ukraine yet I have I have yet to see any evidence of this
never caught one they keep saying that Russian there are
Russian Russian tanks
right all tons of Russian tanks. But they again there's not even
a photo of one away from the B roll photo of a Russian tank
scout and it's French President Francois alarmed
now this is interesting a lot what the side this guy's because
he's selling he wants to sell stuff. He's got his me straw
boats I got I got stuff to send the conference.
French President Francois alarmed who had discussed a
peace plan with Vladimir Putin and Friday said in the visitor
to the stakes could not be higher shear. If we don't manage
to find not uncompromised but a lasting peace accord, boo. Well,
we are perfectly aware of the scenario. It has a name and that
is war. The tempo of diplomacy with Moscow has not dead German
Chancellor Angela Merkel, Francois Alon, Petro Poroshenko,
and Vladimir Putin are all sheduled to resume talks by
phone on Sunday.
I would presume that this kind of conference is really a sales
job and why would you sell Joe there? Why would Joe go to sell
stuff? I mean, all along comes in himself to sell
Joe's the setup guy. So Obama's actually the clothes right, but
but he's not there and everyone else is close. You don't send
the closer they open the sale. True. All right. Good point.
Let's have a couple of years as arming that play this clip. This
is arming Ukraine
signature American Humvees along with radars that can detect
enemy artillery and rocket fire as well. Ankles from Kyiv and
Washington to start shipping while they're growing louder.
So among those options, obviously, is the possibility of
providing defensive, defensive assistance to Ukraine.
I don't have the slightest doubt about the weapons supply to
Ukraine from the United States and our other partners,
so we will continue to provide Ukraine with security
assistance.
Frankly speaking, we would be happy to get more including
defensive weapon, Lethal Weapon and so on and so forth.
However, European politicians are not so keen to provide
weapons to Ukraine. The UK is not going to help give with
lethal military assistance. France is planning to do the
same. sending weapons to one side of the conflict doesn't
seem a very consistent step. This is a reaction from
Brussels. The German defense minister says there are already
too many weapons in Ukraine she supported by her Italian
colleague, and German Chancellor firmly declares that Berlin will
not support Ukraine with weapons. However, the US is
blaming Angular Merkel for a wrong decision.
Here's the problem I have with the Chancellor's position. She
can't see how arming people who are willing to fight and die for
their freedom makes things better, and to now turn her back
on the struggling democracy. And that's exactly what you're
doing. In my view. When you turn down a reasonable request to
help defend oneself is not our finest hour.
Okay, that's Lindsey
Graham does Lindsey Graham Yeah, that guy did a
cutaway it took to a group of people sitting in the front row
with McCain in the middle with his horrible looking Batman s
remise. And he's thinking those
You mean like the Joker? Joker not bad Joker? Yeah,
Batman Batman ask in terms of the movie, right? And he was
just sitting there with his grimace, smile grimace and you
could share him thinking That's my
boy. Oh, man. That you know in the Netherlands now the
conversation has arisen in Parliament to reinstate the
draft because of Russia's aggressive stance. This is crazy
man. The making people not the Netherlands they stopped the
draft after the David Hasselhoff brought the Berlin wall down
There's by the way there's a guy who has this this narcissistic
How come David Hasselhoff hasn't spoken up on the I think
I think the he was there during the the was it the the
anniversary of the Wall coming down yeah they're making people
completely insane with all of this stuff and I have this whole
pushing towards war is we've we saw this coming
well I have a series of clips from from a guy who is if you
put him in the room with Cohen our buddy Cohen Professor this
guy's just almost as good okay we got some notes from one of
our producers telling us that he went to see Cohen in person did
you read this?
Yeah. And then our producer said he was like a total liberal
Obama bot and a little different than that. Yeah,
but he was even more extreme in his views.
Yes. Let me see if I have it here somewhere.
It's actually pretty good. No, that
was a good note and I thought of putting it by the way if you
check your email real quick, I sent you the selfie Oh, I just
want to hear your reaction. Yeah, went to really hear it is
this is from our producer. Is this while he goes he's
anonymous or producer. Yeah, this was in Connecticut. And he
says he arrived late Yeah. What
do you like it? Yeah.
There's there's no audio or anything of that of that session
that our producers out unfortunately,
now. Bring a recorder people you really should. So this guy's
name is Amir Shimer, and he is a professor at the University of
Chicago. And he got into a debate with this character,
Stephen Fife, who was a former Ukrainian Ukraine, our Ukrainian
former Ambassador for the United States to Ukraine, out of
Stanford. And in my research, I, I realized that Stanford
provides a lot of foreign service people at a very high
level, while cow across the bay provides a bunch of feet on the
ground, spooks, switches and spokes is kind of interesting.
Well, anyway, this guy's from Stanford too. But you can hear a
little bit of what the thinking is here. And this is MEARSHEIMER
versus the ambassador one
Ukraine very much has a say or should have a say in how it's
going to develop as a country.
Professor MEARSHEIMER assuming that you disagree with a lot of
that, which I'm assuming you do. I do want to add looking forward
to what the other solution is it diplomacy is its standing in
place.
Just before I answer that question, Gwen, let me just say
I don't think that Putin and the Russians more generally
responsible for this crisis. I think the West is especially the
United States, and its NATO expansion. That's the tap root
of this problem. Get them off. We have been pushing NATO and
eastward and trying to pull Ukraine out of Russia's orbit
and make Ukraine a bulwark of the west right on Russia's
border is what has precipitated this crisis and what we're doing
right exacerbating it by arming the Ukrainians.
Oh, well, this is did how did Gwen respond to all this? But
did flabbergast was smoke coming out of her ears and nostrils
when she was listening to this farcical language?
She was actually befuddled? Describe it what what what do
you what what? Here? We go I'm going to clip this together as
MEARSHEIMER to
quite what would a Holanda miracle solution look like?
Well, I
think there's actually a very simple solution.
She said, a long, long Merkel solution. Yes. Interesting.
Yeah. What would it look like?
Just but that's very interesting, because somebody
wrote find out. Yeah, I understand somebody wrote it
for. But that as a meme is interesting, as based upon the
EURO NEWS clip we heard were all on to saying Oh, and again, it
could only be war and Merkel's. I think this is a good
interesting to see that they're being bundled as that people can
make it work or not. Why
What would a Holanda miracle solution look like?
Well, I think there's actually a very simple solution to this
problem, and that is to turn Ukraine into a neutral buffer
state. What the West has to do is explicitly take NATO and EU
expansion off the table and make it clear to Moscow that the
United States and its European allies have no intention of
siding with a government in Kyiv. That is anti Russian and
pro Western. What we want is a neutral government. And then we
go to work with the Russians and with the IMF, and with the EU to
come up with some sort of economic package that can put
Ukraine back on its feet.
All right, well, that sounds reasonable. Why don't We do that
well.
Well we already did that and they had they haven't repaid
tranche one yet. The IMF did this. We put money in there as
well. We put our people into it. Oh, by the pocket. Have you
seen? So we know that the finance minister is an American
who got a passport overnight? Yes, there is another woman auto
citizenship that yes, there is now a new member of parliament,
and this woman's job is such as promotional job and that you got
to look her up her name is it's the John Nika Mariela the oh
here, the new Minister of Economy appointed former
Estonian Jonica J A N ik a Mary lo m e r i l o as his adviser on
foreign investments, and improving the business climate
in Ukraine. You have to see this woman Wow. She's like some
sadomasochistic hooker.
Yeah, she got a bunch of pictures on there. She's cutting
herself with a big blood.
She will have definitely
letters that they're letting in there to Yeah, I'm
very interested in improving your business climate in
Ukraine. Same
person or just the same woman all those different pictures.
Fabulous
markable one where She's licking her lips with blood coming
from the big butcher knife. He has a picture plane with no it's
great.
All right, well, that's crazy. Well, anyway, so they go on
about this NATO thing. So this guy, the the ambassador jumps
in, and he's gonna make it clear that this is all malarkey. And
the things are not what everyone thinks. And so we play clip
three,
just a couple of points to it presser fessor MEARSHEIMER just
said, first of all, in the quaintest of NATO. There has
been zero enthusiasm in the last six years to enlarge to Ukraine.
The Obama administration's never pursued it. And the Russians
know this. I mean, so I think that's simply a false argument.
But he says this So I'm thinking wait a man I've been watching
the whole show this is near the end of the show. I said, Wait a
minute. If I reel back and stare at talked about NATO and how
enthusiastic they are about this in this same exact show that I'm
watching earlier, there's this clip NATO on news hour. On
something went wrong, I'm sorry, let me just do this. And you
think Glenn would have remembered it now?
No, she did. Was it her segment she doesn't remember those.
Meanwhile, in Brussels, NATO Defence Ministers agreed on
this. To counter Russia she
doesn't she she she read this script three weeks ago, she
doesn't remember writing it someplace.
Meanwhile, in Brussels, NATO Defence Ministers agreed on new
moves to counter Russia's aggressive actions by more than
doubling the size of our ready Response Force and setting up
new command centers in Eastern Europe. As fighting in the East
has intensified both NATO and Ukraine of course
back it up I want to I want you to go back before the car sound
because I want to tell I want to play a car sound after this
clip. This car sound is some B roll from somewhere but anyway
go just back it up a little bit string and then listen to the
car sound carefully.
East has intensified both NATO and Ukraine
move back further
new command centers in Eastern Europe as fighting in the East
has intensified both NATO and Ukraine charged the Russians are
supplying tanks, heavy weapons and even troops to the Ukrainian
rebels where the Russians did I
was all in so this guy's full of crap about NATO of course that
your your segment on the same show as NATO stuff. Now that
Karsan by the way, yeah. Which was dropped in is and it's a
very throaty car sound. It's like very low rumble. Yeah, as
I'm thinking they use that because Americans
obviously we respond well to rumbling low noise,
I think but it's also sounds like an old European like an old
rushes got some sort of a German I don't know what it is. Oh,
that's
a good point.
It's a psychological sound. It's not like it's this big lumbering
Packard Mercedes from 1930
You had to bring up the Packard huh? It's a German staff car.
Rumble yes a
German staff car
let me see if I can get a German staff car run
well before you do that on a another show. Don't tell me I've
got this clip car noise and tell me this isn't the same car even
though it's amped up a little
Jonathan Rodman of Independent Television News reports
they are on the road to doubled server to evacuate civilians.
It was actually a tad higher in just a little bit.
I have a good bye have a great yeah, maybe maybe better Still
on news hour, so they've got these old cars that they're just
dropping in.
I want to see if I can find a it's actually not that easy to
find a German staff car rumble sound effect. Do you think that
would be something easy?
Well, apparently PBS has got the corner on the market.
Let me see. This is Joseph Dietrich's mailbox staff car,
but it's not running now. Okay.
Don't have it. All right, well, we'll find it and prove our
point, which is the B they're using sound. Television, there's
gambling going on there. Sir.
Is there a fourth clip for this thing? Yes, there is. I have
Yes. play that out. And we'll be done. When we start
talking about pushing Ukraine back towards Russia. We're
talking
about stop stop. I gotta set this one up. So I'm this clip is
interesting, because this is the guy doing his final analysis,
this the ex ambassador, and he drops a couple of bombs in here
that I had to I still haven't researched out to figure out
what it what he's talking about. But But this guy, I realized
now, and I think the argument against Russia and all this is
an internationalist argument that really goes back to all
these people that want one world government their New World
Order, sir, New World Order and better Russia is getting in the
way. Yes, sir. We start
talking about pushing Ukraine back towards Russia. We're
talking about, you know, kind of spheres of influence. It's
really kind of 19th century. And Europe was trying to move beyond
that. And the fundamental point here is with the 1975, Helsinki
Final Act, that was designed to say Europe play by rules. And
one of the cardinal rules was non viability of borders, and
you don't use military force to take territory from other
countries.
We'll see what happens with the big meeting in Moscow the next
few days. And I told you,
hey, that's interesting.
Non viability of borders.
Do you remember I don told me there was going to be a big, big
meeting soon. Yeah. Well, it has sounds like it's happening
there. What they're supposed to do some new conference in
Helsinki and waiting for that one to be announced. That should
be the big one when they ruin like a four plus eight or
whatever they do those things? Well,
I was disturbed by this guy.
I don't understand this. Understand
non viability of borders. Oh, there's this is 19th century
bullshit was what we're watching here. This is like from the
1850s. It's no, it's not Russia has been attacked a million
times. And they don't like it. And they don't want but these
NATO guys keep moving toward them and non viability of
borders. Will that how's that working out for everybody?
Well, something interesting came out Friday from the
administration, the White House, the 2015, National Security
Strategy, which I've had a chance to read through a bit.
And this is torps work to work
by a torque was on a lot of stuff. Finally, she got out of
her hole. Yeah, this
is Susan Rice. So we affectionately call the Torp.
Yes, because she's a tour. So there's, there's yeah, there's
two pieces to what the President really of the what the White
House released, I should say, to be factual. One is, of course,
the letter from the president regarding national security
strategy. And so that'll show up in the in the in the register. I
haven't seen that yet. But they, so they never do this, like,
Please give me the letter that you're sending to Congress or
whatever. No. And so here is the this is actually I do have a
piece of this. This is the fact sheet. You know, they love doing
this fax here the facts of what we're saying. And the last
paragraph of facts is the following, we will advance an
international order that promotes peace, security and
opportunity through stronger cooperation to meet global
challenges by one working with partners to reinforce and update
the rules of the road norms and institutions that are
foundational to peace, prosperity and human dignity in
the 21st century.
What are they using the rules of the road? Well, he's
using international order might as well throw everything in. I
mean, international order is just a new world order different
different word is the same thing. And then rules of the
road with because there's no law, strengthening and growing
our global alliances and partnerships forging diverse
coalition's and leading at the United Nations and other
multilateral organizations. What this is leading up to is one
thing, a couple things, but the most important is the blankets,
authorization of use of military force for this President to
defeat to defeat or degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL. ISIS
is, which is the broadest I mean, we could actually take
that authorization or the President could and go attack
Russia because of ISIS. That's how broad that thing is. So this
is part of it. Strengthening our enduring commitment to a free
and peaceful Europe by countering aggression and
modernizing the NATO alliances to meet emerging threats. Well,
what could that be about? How much more modern is that? Well,
I think modern means sell more into the NATO stone cram more
crappy stuff to blow up pursuing a stable Middle East and North
Africa by countering terrorism, preventing Iran from obtaining a
nuclear weapon and reducing the underlying sources of conflict.
Power Man and promoting a prosperous, secure and
democratic Western Hemisphere by expanding integration and
leveraging a new opening to Cuba to expand our engagement. So
this opens just going back to this, this gobbledygook. I mean,
this they the whole idea of a new world order or international
order, I guess, is what we're gonna call it now. It's always
been the same as saying,
take over Russia. That's part of it. Yeah, that will Yes. If
anybody's find it ironic that do we have these these idiots out
there promoting themselves with with concepts like non viability
of borders. Meanwhile, actual operations such as ISIS or Boko
Haram are already implementing non viable borders.
Well, isn't that where it leads? Just
a bunch of maniacs running?
Isn't it the same thing? When it is
to say, I think yeah, was obviously part of this scheme.
Thanks. But I also think it's interesting our southern porous
border is not pretty much non viable. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Same
people that are the war mongers like McCain and Lindsey Graham
are bitching about our borders? I don't know. Just as the whole
thing is before she says a huge script that I think is
overwritten. And now it's it's it can't be gets out of control.
This is like the spider man play on broad
soundtrack actually provided by Abano. This is bad news.
Yes, exactly. Mono is always involved when it sucks.
Well, before we get into caliphate, and Burning Man, I'd

always be misquoted. And out of context. Point taken. Yes. Adam,
do you remember Kennedy from MTV? And did you all work

No this was the MTV beach house and I didn't Kennedy was stress
you're strange girl. Okay, and honestly at the time I was more

she was thinking and saying some interesting things I just did
not care to pay attention to but she was one of these what is the
word you know one of these people who is different but
embarrassed and does stupid shit sometimes. So here's what the
here's what went down MTV beach house. One day I had to film
segments with the Kennedy fine whatever. And we were on Jet
Skis. And so I'm doing a segment and then somehow she thought it
was very funny to crash her jet ski into mind while I am doing
the segment. Water Based accidents can be very very bad.
Well yeah, they're dangerous and stupid. So she did she hit my
jetski so hard that I have of course flipped off but landed
with my with my my butt cheek my right butt cheek on the side of
the jetski and it was just black and blue for months and to this

spot, and stupid bitch broke my ass.
So you don't have much yeah, no Did she apologize or
like that one of those are you okay so she's
we were all younger than so I hold no grudge

the story broke my but anyway
Mark goes on with some personal stuff and then says CV as a
Karma request may request that besides a much better chance oh

second credit, which will give him because even though it's not
going to show up in the database pronoun, people always forget
about that sort of thing. Liz Gunther, Los Angeles,
California. I'm curious about how you think the Quincy
amendment affects the current Ramos the
Quincy agreement.
The Quincy agreement affects the current US policy. So Saudi
Arabia often use Saudi Arabia in their excellent payroll or your
or human rights record. When discussing the media and Obama's
attitude towards Putin and the alleged hatred of homosexuals.
In other words, she says, Hmm, what about Saudi Arabia?
They behead 10 people a month on and they
hate women. Yeah. And they don't let him drive and they have to,
they can only be with a relative. They can.
Shop gaze heads off and everything is yeah, that's our
friends over there.
They get off the hook for everything, including zero
outrage that most of the hijackers from 911 were Saudis.
I think the Quincy amendment agreement NYC amendment. What do
you know, what is? The agreement? I don't even know
what it is. Well, I
looked it up.
Okay. You tell us what you think I looked
it up in in the book of knowledge, which I have here
somewhere. It was an agreement done on the USS Quincy, I
believe it was Roosevelt. That was our president. And this was
I think the first deal with the Saudis before the petro dollar
and this was they were going to keep the peace in the Middle
East as well and we will we would supply them with weaponry
to keep the peace in the Middle East. I think that was the
essence of the original agreement. I think that expired
or it's sunset somewhere in now. I want to look it up.
Okay, we'll look it up and we'll get on it a little more than we
have. It's not I looked at our current policy. I
looked at this and it really No, I mean, whatever.
Okay she finalizes with sorry about your personal
difficulties. I've included a pic to cheer you up along with
$200 donation next time you're in Los Angeles gym and didn't
know agenda meet up at Los Angeles meetup and it sent a

would say that boom. Shakalaka thing kind of nails. But yeah,
it does. Mind. Finally.
I think we need to meet up in LA pretty soon. Just thinking that
might be a good idea. Yeah.
I'll just summarize.
He put that picture in the newsletter as well.
I could point out that I'll summarize. Yes. Good. Put an eye
out. Yeah. David Lane in Springfield, Missouri. $200. No
notes from David. He's also mailed it in and said Good job,
boys. I want to thank these folks and all the rest of the
people coming up in the second part of the show, for
contributing to show six. I don't know what 6969 OR 469 or
four, four. And to remind you that we got another show coming
up on Thursday, I'd like to get the things back to, you know, a
little more hectic and
hopefully I'll have news of a meet up maybe Tuesday or
Wednesday I'll be in New York. And so we'll see how that works.
All right, that org slash and a for the donations and keep I
don't know how we're going to want to meet it when you when
you're hoping for a meet up Tuesday or Wednesday? this
coming Tuesday, Wednesday? Yes. Are they gonna know? Well, they
don't they listen to the show and follow me on social media,
social media. Well, they
listen to the show, but you have no details to give them. No. So
that means show won't be on until you got to be till
Thursday,
then everyone will find it from my Twitter. You know, find out
where it is.
Okay. You should have you should have developed a small mailing
list. Actually, maybe Eric can get it pull out the New York
area.
Well, there's the three top Knights and Dames from New York
already are all ready to good to go.
Okay, well, they probably have a contact list. I
think it'll be okay. All right. While we're on that though, I do
have a workout. org slash na I want to remind you a little
promo here. Scott McKenzie, author of one day and get mo
nation, death by auto pen and drawing dead. He has released
yet a new giblet based on the stylings of the no agenda show
it is called perp walk. A short no agenda story. It's an e book
giblet Scott Mackenzie, it's in the Kindle store thing. 99
cents. I have not read it yet. I'll be reading on the plane.
But I enjoyed his one day and Gitmo nation immensely. I
thought that was very fun. So have a look at that, per block
is a work of fiction inspired by the Dominique Strauss Kahn
affair. And based on the topics discussed on the no agenda show
hosted by Adam curry and John C. Dvorak.
Slash, and, of course,
we are out there doing the important work of propagating
the formula.
Our formula is this, we go out for young people in the mouth.
Right. Shut up
slaves. Just shut up. Okay. Lots of interesting and good and
valuable feedback from producers. On the Burning Man
ISIS video. No, yeah. And the consensus is, yeah, this could
be made. And we have links to video that put some of this in
the show notes, you can see some of it. The how fire is put into
is dramatized into into productions and how you can do
it. Indeed, you can do it on a on a higher end Mac, and you can
put that together, but I still remain it doesn't even matter at
this point. Because exactly what we said what happened happened,
or is now underway as Jordan is now because of the Burning Man
video they've been drafted. They've been pulled into it. And
here is the CNN report,
a clear unequivocal message from the Jordanian armed forces on
Thursday, flying missions over rocker, they say in Syria and
indeed, Iraq, degrading and destroying ISIS assets on the
ground. Let's take a look at what are these defining images
over the past 24 hours, I've got a set of three for you because I
think this clearly points out both sides of what's going on
here.
I love this. Now what you're seeing and this is Becky,
whatever her name is, she's a Middle East she's from time to
time, she comes into the Middle East and stuff. And she's
showing us the traditional crosshair green kind of
grayscale video of some some unidentified buildings being
bombed from the air. whoop dee doo. But you'll believe it
because she just giving you the narrative and telling you what
you are seeing believe it, believe it, believe it. It's
real.
It's real. It's real.
The video images that our viewers will see of the
destruction, the airstrikes on Rucker, some 30 fighter jets, we
were told in the air, and they were successful, they destroyed
their targets, and all returned home safely. That's the first
set of images. I want to get our viewers a second set of images
now because these released shortly after the infrared
images that were released by the armed forces here and these
released by ISIS as part of their ongoing propaganda
campaign and a set of images that show purportedly show
children, young children in classrooms in rocker they say
so they're literally showing now file footage of kids in
classrooms.
And that's it. I'm just kidding. Just kidding. mean with a
teacher up at the barrel was this report
again what network a CNN be on this the problem? You know,
here's the thing you CNN new which I was didn't get for a
while because they took it off to the ocean this year. And I
started watching it, I was watching it, trying to get
clips, it is terrible. I always don't realize how bad CNN is.
They're terrible.
Well, this is the true propaganda because and you're
not even seeing a video. Alright, so she's saying that
this is video that ISIS put out their images, but his video that
ISIS put out to show that the Jordanians are at risk of
killing children who are in school, but isn't the video is
just from some local, it has a logo in the right hand corner,
which is I think, some some Arabic television footage. But
it's not ISIS is not Al Jazeera. Be aware of the where's the
branding in this. So it's not even credible, what CNN is doing
here, but she just just gonna give you this, this messaging
over file footage
and this is Isis that they have opened 24 schools 12 Boys and 12
for girls, giving the impression one assumes,
what are the opening schools for girls fourth, are these strict
crazy people?
Well, this is this is just a script. This is reading I'm
sorry.
What they want to do is give the impression that life continues
as normal. And what is this hotbed of ISIS activity in
northern Syria. And then another image, which I think perhaps
sums up what has been going on here in Jordan over the past,
what 48 to 72 hours is the gruesome video of the mercy of
that young pilot was released and of Queen Rania King
Abdullah, his wife, with the mother of the downed pilots.
We only see from behind Okay, fine. Oh, it's all horrible
Prince Charles getting in the act. For some reason. The Brits
are now coming in with I believe 60 fighter jets. Charles
will meet Jordan's King Abdullah. A few days ago, the
king threatened what he called a severe response to the burning
to death of the Jordanian air force officer by Islamic State.
That atrocity which has so shocked and angered Jordan, will
without doubt, be one of the principal matters which Charles
will discuss with the king. Charles will express Britain's
sympathy and solidarity with Jordan in the fight against
Islamic State. Jordan, of course, wants something more
tangible, more financial help to cope with the refugees, more
extensive training for its military.
Oh, yes. We'll send some training and some advisors.
Yeah, so they're in northern Syria. And it's just a matter of
time before they go down and take out Assad. That is clear.
In the meantime, the President did something very strange,
which has kind of gotten legs or it may be some new mean new
narrative, whatever it is at the prayer breakfast. What is the
genesis of the prayer breakfast anyway?
Well, it's a good question, but I think it goes back into the
is it a special day that we do the prayer breakfast? Yeah,
there's one day here that you do a prayer. Actually, I think
there's a couple of times maybe? I don't know. I'll look it up.
But I knew when I was a kid, I heard about it well, but they
never used to publicize it so much.
I appreciate if you'd look that up. And then I shall play this a
little bit that I think intentionally caught fire of his
speech at the prayer breakfast, the murder of Muslims
and Christians in Nigeria religious war in the Central
African Republic, a rising tide of anti semitism and hate crimes
in Europe, hate crimes, so often perpetrated in the name of
religion. So how do we, as people of faith reconcile these
realities, the profound good, the strength, that tenacity, the
compassion, and love that can flow from all of our faiths
operating alongside those who seek to hijack religious for
their own murderous since humanity has been grappling with
these questions throughout human history, unless we get on our
high horse and think this is unique to some other place.
Remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition,
people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ, in our
country, slavery, and Jim Crow, all too often was justified in
the name of price.
Okay. Now, I actually have a better clip that nobody picked
up on, which I'll talk about after we're done with this
analysis. But what is he kidding with this? Well, 1000 years ago,
we did the same thing. Got in this case? Yes.
Yes. And what's interesting is, I believe that is not entirely
factual about what the Crusades were about. There is enough
evidence to show that the Crusades We're also about
stopping the Ottoman Empire from bleeding into the West.
What was the idea and to get the actually they had already
believed bled into the West to an extreme. The National Prayer
Breakfast is a yearly event held in Washington DC the first
Thursday of February every year, the founder of the event was
Abraham, a variety of the event was,
this is the Chicago connection. Of course.
I don't know if it's a Chicago connection here. But in 1953,
Verizon, established International Christian
leadership incorporated as fellow Foundation in Chicago as
the US headquarters for the prayer breakfast movement. It's
a Chicago thing that another Chicago saying so anyway, so
this, I found that to be very interesting, it doesn't it's a
saying that the religion is bad when use for war, which is
pretty much used for war all the time. And that the Crusades,
were all of the horrible things. That isn't mean, which I think
needs reexamining we've talked about it before on the show,
because yeah, yes, but it was also protecting one religion
against the other religion, not just a you don't like Christ to
chop your head off. That's what it turned into over the years.
I'm not sure that's,
well, we if we're gonna do the Crusades show, we're gonna have
to do a little more reading.
So here is the London Professor of Economics. I think he was on
Fareed Zakaria show. And he picked up on this.
Gotta try.
ISIS are the Crusaders are today's Crusaders. They are
slaughtering in the name of religion. They have a twisted
interpretation of the faith. And like the Crusaders, as you know,
very the Crusaders did not only kill Muslims, they kill Jews.
They kill Eastern Christians, and ISIS, we keep focusing on
the few Western victims. Remember, the overwhelming
number of victims are Muslims, not just even minority she also
Yazidis and Christians, Sunnis. In fact, ISIS has slotted 1000s
of Sunni Syrians and Iraqis. But the question is, I mean, the
Crusaders and ISIS, the reality is, ISIS has to be
deconstructed. Yes, these twisted interpretations of the
faith must be faced on and only and again, very only Arabs and
Muslims can deconstruct this particular twisted
interpretation of the faith. And the reality is, this is an
internal war. This is a civil war within the Islamic Boer
standard world. This is not about Islam in the West. This is
about the identity of the state in the Muslim world. And the
Islamic world is raging in multiple places in Syria, in
Iraq, in Libya and Yemen and other places as
well, to the way I take this oh, by the way,
and this is it. This is all new. This has never happened before.
I think that's the thing. That's the point. This is a an almost
an ally up from the President to say, You know what, the because
now it's clear, this is an Islam problem. And we need people in
the region to fix this ie Jordan. And it's happened before
look, we Hey, we got out of it. We stopped the murdering and the
killing of everybody 800 years ago, if we can do it, you know,
then we're done these these crazy as llamo guys, they can do
it. MSNBC all in on the program. Of course, Mr. Larry O'Donnell,
what the President alluded to today is the fact that some
religions have gone through violent phases. Catholicism was
the most murderous for force on the face of the earth. Hundreds
of years we are number one, but that's hundreds of years ago,
that's 800 years ago. And so for the President to make a
comparison to the Islamic State, he actually has to reach back
100 years in Catholicism and then tell you know, Catholics
and Christians today don't get up on your on your high horse
and, and Aastra in the process, President seems to be saying
that he knows what real Islam is.
And the high horse thing pisses me off
to getting on my nerves. Now, it's an official meme that we
post to
it's I think the the actual wording is Get off your high
horse and the President put us on is I thought that was
interesting.
Now, first of all, let's stop this discussion immediately. I'm
sorry, because you use the word alley. Oop, I did. Now, the
alley oop. Generally is get derived from football and you
don't like football. You watch
basketball? No, the alley hoop is basketball original
alley hoop was a football play. I don't think you can find in
any evidence of the alley oop existed before why a tittle and
an RC Owens in the 50s when they were throwing the alley you pass
or whichever was during the alley you pass the RC Owens I
know if you look up the if you look up the definitions a high
pass caught by a leaping teammate who tries to dunk the
ball before landing But the whole the whole dunk phenomenon
didn't really exist in the 50s. Okay, in the alley open
basketball, I don't believe showed up until the 70s or 80s.
Here's the history of the alley oop according to the one and
only. In the 1950s Some players began utilizing jumping
abilities by grabbing balls in midair and then dunking Bill
Russell at the University of San Francisco Wilt Chamberlain at
Kansas and jumping Johnny green at Michigan State. This is the
50s so I'm not going to counter you I will take your word over
Wiki on any day
I give it it's possible. But I think this was backdated
personally. Okay, I'll look into maybe it was a basketball
phenomenon first and then became the football call out because
it's the same thing only it was it there's a certain a certain
kind of past that actually flipped over and, and it
required a basketball player to catch it. Now it's possible it
was a basketball thing that was going on in that era, because if
anyone's going to do it, it would be Wilt Chamberlain. I'd
have to do that. I'd have to do some checking on dates. Okay,
I've got something I've got it right here.
Oh, no information conclusions, because I was stunned that you
would use a football term, or actually even a basketball term.
Now they think about it. You hate sports.
I don't hate sports. I don't hate sports.
I know you like lacrosse. From the chat room.
The aliyou play lacrosse no women's field hockey. Oh, same
thing. This could be the biggest sport in spectator sport. The
Alley was play was developed in the 1950s American football
games by the San Francisco 40. Niners why a tittle and RC Owens
would throw the ball into the endzone hi I like a jump ball
Owens with jumping so yeah, it's hard indisputable I look at the
alley Wikipedia page and does says this article needs
additional citations for verification. I love it when it
says this article has problems. But doesn't doesn't say that
or is the reason I can advertise as my favorite
I would very much like to be able to at the bottom of it. I
would like to point to prove that it is a football that it
originated football because I think most people don't realize
that. Anyway, the idea is the same in the President's case,
and I
believe I was just done that you would use that your mind Did you
should I should
I try this more often? These are sports analogies. It's
disturbing to you a little bit right here is Fareed Zakaria to
kind of bring it all home and nice little package for us. Of
course free drinks beers with the president you know he's he's
on board with everything
the general feeling is that ISIS is gaining ground with its
diabolical methods. But is it really like a video of the
sorry are you holding a microphone in front of the TV
here with this clip? Yes, in
this case I am yes I had a there was last minute clip this
morning was on it that couldn't okay okay. It's my connection to
work I'm sorry. That's
killing was slickly produced. But it might have been a fancy
cover to mask an operation that had gone arrived. Remember, it
began as a money making scheme to get a ransom for Japanese
hostages, then turned into a hostage swap for a forgotten
failed suicide bomber.
I love how this is complete farce of a script is now just
being recanted by Fareed Zakaria as fact, money making scheme.
Oh, yeah, they were very serious about the $200 million. They
want it from Japan. Yeah, very serious and finally
ended with the immolation of the Jordanian pilot. Certainly ISIS
could not have imagined the response its actions have
triggered in the Middle East.
Always good to have a protest that Jordanians
united against. Clerics across the region loudly and
unequivocally condemning the emulation, and with Japan ready
to provide more aid and support against it. Meanwhile, news on
the battlefield has not been good for ISIS. Brookings
Institution scholar Kenneth Pollock describes the stunning
reversal it has faced in Iraq, the Washington Post has reported
on the growing discontent within its territories. All this might
help explain the brutality of the latest Murder video. The
group well understands that the primary purpose of terrorism is
to induce fear and overreaction. The targeting of America and its
allies, the videos, the barbarism are all designed to
draw Washington into a ground battle in Syria.
So he's actually explaining and now it's so obvious that what
whatever ISIS ISIL is, is certainly the video production
portion of it is intended to work in tandem with I'm sure
some NGOs who get everyone all pissed off in Jordan, we have
this get on your high horse the Crusades AIDS. It's divide and
conquer, John it's a classic
I am not this guy. I'm telling you what you've done. This guy
should never be clipped again. He's boring and stupid. And this
is a bullshit hold thing is this analysis of his his crap because
I think you had the right analysis, which is the draw
Jordan ended gonna do the job. So why are you playing this
piece of shit? You said he wrapped it up into a nice
bundle. Yeah. He's just completely wrong.
Yes. This is the this is what we're supposed to be believing.
Come on,
you know this guy. Nobody listens to this show this guy
show that don't think you should either used to berate me for
listening to Rachel Maddow. All right. Okay, we got the picture
that there's a there's a scenario presented before the
public and there yeah, there it is. And you have a better idea,
which is, I'd be on board with your idea, which is the whole
thing's a scam and Jordans going in.
And they're going to take out Assad that is going to take out
areas that we
knew, I think, yeah, but we believe all right. All right.
Fine. We have one more thing to deal with. One more thing. We
have a little minor backup plan. It hasn't been played hard yet.
They're going to start ramping it up if we need to. If we don't
get this is all about this for the Authorization for Use of
Military Force. We need to have that to then go in and to
fucking destroy everything we can and we have one last one we
now have finally, now that we the gay thing is not working
out. We finally have a cute girl who they're going to kill or
they say is killed. No, they already killed her. And they say
maybe.
Well, the we say maybe the the ISIS guy says really? They say
that Jordan killed her. And that's just a bull crap thing. I
mean, I look when you guys did you shouldn't have bombed us.
Watch it and she has a cougar watch
it be played. They're gonna they're gonna play this. We're
going to see. I
think they've already tried to nip it in the bud with it.
That's bullcrap. Okay. I don't know if they're gonna I think
they're overlooked thing in this whole prayer breakfast. was
Obama finally admitting is a Muslim? Nobody seemed to have
got it. Now, I've got the clip. I've got the clip.
Pull on second. You're really grouchy just a minute ago?
Because the courier really annoys me this is a guy who
wants to throw away the US Constitution Yes. Well, I gotta
keep my eye on him as to anything he has to say or why
he's got a job is beyond me. There it is really dry. Now
I get it. You're pissed off the guy's making millions of dollars
doing this crap and making millions
of dollars nobody cares or pod kills. Where you're starving to
death is real analysis.
I understand your yes I understand your pain. I got it.
Okay,
now here's the here is now you have to listen carefully.
Because he doesn't say I am a Muslim. Oh, but he says in his
little thing here he is. He and I'm going to use it here comes
essentially says he's a Muslim. If you parse what he says and
the way he says it, and right at the end where he realizes what
he says and jumps out of it as fast as he can short and sweet
now
I just want to say this is probably for you to even be
broaching this topic in this way. Is so counter to anything
you've ever done that you must really be very convinced that he
is that this is true.
Wait a minute. Yeah, better put me in a box. Saying he says it
not me. I'm just playing it for people that take it or leave it.
I think this this Warren said a little setup. Alright. Obama is
a Muslim.
Meanwhile, in Washington, President Obama condemned
Islamic State atrocities. He told the National Prayer
Breakfast. No God condones terror.
No grievance justifies the taking of innocent lives where
the oppression of those who are weaker or fewer number so as
people of faith we are summoned to push back against those who
tried to distort our religion. Any religion for their own
nihilistic ends. I gotta hear it again. I'm
gonna hear it again. ASO, please. He told the National
Prayer Breakfast. No, God condones terror.
No grievance justifies the taking of innocent lives for the
oppression of those who are weaker, or fewer number. So as
people of faith we are summoned to push back against those who
tried to distort our religion. Any religion for their own
nihilistic ends.
Wow. He of our religion. Yeah. Wow.
And then he jumped out as fast as he could by saying any
religion Oh, man. They're not destroying Christianity or
anything else. It's everyone says is the distortion of Islam
one more
time peace. If you're a
number and so as people of faith we are summoned to push back
against those who tried to distort our religion, any
religion for their own.
You might as well bend over and take clinical was good. That was
good.
Nobody has picked them. Nobody has picked up on that. And they
love to harp on this, you know, he takes his rings off during
Ramadan. Right, right, right, right things he always chide him
for being a Muslim, proclaimed Muslim when he was Indonesia.
And but this they just missed it. Wow. That's why the show is
so damn good. Wow.
And you don't think that we had that? It couldn't have been
anything but but but Islamic. Christianity is not being
distorted that way.
No, nothing is this is nothing being distorted. Are
you sure you can interpret this as him saying, Oh, well, you
know, if someone were doing
it, no, it's not interpretable. If you listen to it again, play
it one more time is short. I think we have to play it you
will see no way around it. I agree.
Condemned Islamic State atrocities. He told the National
Prayer Breakfast. No, God condones terror.
No grievance justifies the taking of innocent lives for the
oppression of those who are weaker, or fewer number. And so
as people of faith, we are summoned to push back against
those who tried to distort our religion. Any religion for their
own nihilistic ends.
It's true. And that's exactly what he wants. He wants the
Muslims to push back against the crazy Muslims. Yeah. Wow. Okay,
there you go. Well, then why doesn't he just say he's a
Muslim? What's the problem?
Because I'm gonna go over. I won't go over a little late for
that. Don't you think? That much we can do now? Wow. It would
hurt the party. Yes. Okay. All right. I gotta interrupt that.
So you kind
of bow I'm on flummoxed?
I got Yeah, you did. You did? Yeah. That's good.
That's a good one. That's that's a good one. I'm a little mad.
Actually. I didn't catch that.
Alright, that was a tough one to catch. Yeah. All right, I got
one here. That's just this is of sociology issue. We have all
this violence against women and all these kinds of memes. And
then we have that kind of in bed with the liberal thinkers and
idolaters. And people who worship celebrities have a
certain bent, and I will put James Dean, who I have had on
the put on the show before James Dean to me, I've watched all his
movies. I think he's a terrible actor. And he's obviously was
highly regarded because he was a reflection of something going on
in the mid 50s. Which I you know, was it wasn't something
like a deal with numbers and be like just born or so
it was like him and Rock Hudson and Tab Hunter and they all
undercover gays.
Well, the gay thing is or whatever, these are the rebel
without a cause. And this is a clip from rebel without a cause.
And he's in the police office and he's been drinking or
something. They kept him overnight and in the in the cell
and, and he's now talking to a cop while his parents are
outside bickering about it. And he's got a kind of a wimpy dad.
That's a model for like modern sitcoms, I would say and
which which James Dean movie was this, oh, this was without a
cost. Okay,
now, I know this clip has got a little tidbit in here that I
don't remember being part of the structure of society. But
apparently it was. And I want to talk about this because this is
this is one of these movies that people think is one of the great
films of all time and nobody questions this, this and other
moments within the movie that advocate very peculiar actions.
I mean, I love them. And all that type of stuff. I mean, I
don't want to hurt him. I don't know what to do anymore. Except
maybe. I mean, if he had guts to knock mom cold. Then maybe she'd
be happy and then she stopped picking on him as they make my
shadow.
Oh, he's advocating the woman strike her man down. Oh, you
didn't listen. I can't hear it. Until well, he I'll give you the
word as if he would just have the guts to knock her coat.
Oh, the other way around. I'm sorry. Okay, what
like it?
Yeah, yeah, exactly what happened?
So women wanted to be beaten. Yeah, that's what it says. And
they get put in their place with a strong fish to the face
knocking and her cold I said courthouse. This, by the way, is
exactly what Ray Rice did to his girlfriend in the elevator and
guess what? He's not in jail. That's true.
Well, he may end up in jail as a speaker, but she will press
charges but there's a number of things that the white world used
to do including apparently knocking their wife cold to make
her happy. Yeah. Black community does and they get in. And I will
also say the Peterson case where he was using a switch on his
boy, you know, and there's like, now he's a child abuser. In the
50s this was Jesus was commonplace everybody was beaten
their kids hold
on this place. This is like we set it up I have to say, it's
like we set it up this up this happened with the Pope. The Pope
came out and said, Well, you know, you should throttle your
kid once in a while. It's not bad and this is on the Morning
Joe Show, and Mika Brzezinski has had the same punishment I
have had as a child the Pope
is also receiving attention for recent comments about
disappointing children about the role of fathers the Pope said
quote, one time I heard a father in a meeting with married
couples say I sometimes have to smack my children a bit but
never in the face so it's not to humiliate them how beautiful He
knows the sense of dignity he has to punish them but does not
but does it justly and moves on to he's okay with the Pope's
okay with spanking he's okay don't leave a mark but about
a hairbrush on the side of the highway.
Okay, hairbrush. The side of the highway. My mother when she said
Adam Clark curry you knew it was coming? And she would if I was
bad she would spank me with a hairbrush but then she she
caught on the the threat of bristle side down with the
hairbrush would be enough to have me change my behavior on
the spot. And this was not 50s But this was a 60s late
I think it's continued into this late 70s
Did you ever be Have you ever heard of this the the hairbrush
person
never heard of the hairbrush but doesn't surprise me and I've
heard it a switch. And I've heard the bell
I gotta get the belt once from my dad and that was the last
time I ever really spoke the belt
and all this other stuff that white community was doing
commonly including I think this clip from a Rebel Without a
Cause as you because it was nobody said anything about this
knocking or cold. It was all Excel. Oh, this is fine. Women
need to be hitting ahead. Now. Not so much changes. And now all
of a sudden is all bad. Well, you can't even touch your kid
would you let him do whatever they want to do. And meanwhile,
you know some black person does it this is the evils of the
blackboard man. You know this kind of bull crap. Right? Right.
It's I just found this clip to be fascinating. knocker called
make her happy.
And give her a smoke. I'm gonna give her a smoke with a new or
new ironing board. Washing machine.
Anyway, I was very taken by I like it. I like it. I'll
probably have more clips from this movie because I'm sure I
mean, the movie is just a bad movie. bad movie. Anyway, just
before
we go into our break, I think it might be interesting to let me
see. Yeah, the vaccines Of course, we've been following
following what's going on the MMR stories covering up the fact
that the flu vaccine does not work this year. Ireland is now
restricting hospital visits because of the flu and it's
Bogut of vaccine, which they even mentioned in the story
which I find fascinating. Three hospitals
have restricted visiting because of an influenza outbreak. St.
James's Hospital in Dublin, the Mercy Hospital and cork
University Hospital say they've taken this measure in the
interest of patient safety. It comes as figures show the number
of people have been hospitalized with influenza, more than
doubled last week.
It's the peak time of year for influenza. And the number of
patients hospitalized with the virus is on the rise. It's led
to two major hospitals deciding for the first time ever to
restrict visitors to stop the spread of flu. And the HSC says
although there's some international evidence that the
strain of flu has drifted from the one that's been used in this
year's vaccine, that doesn't change the recommendation that
people should get vaccinated
and I love the joy drifted, doesn't drift. Drift. Drift
drift. So two things here. You know, the We the people the
creative petition on the white that bogus White House thing?
Yeah, yeah. So if there's one as a new one, we petitioned the
Obama administration to classify a refusal to vaccinate children
as a mental disorder as his great. That is really very
funny. But I found something else that even though and I
think you're going to take us down the road, I, you know,
network wars. There are two lawsuits that are coming into
play right now that I believe are handily being covered up by,
you know, the outbreak news and all of this. The two lawsuits
are both against it. The first one is against, yeah, both
against Merck, who make the MMR vaccine and the first one is
it's a False Claims Act.
Actually, the
false claims good yes, here comes that the the that Merck
falsified the MMR trial data, you see you have to have it and
anything, huh,
yeah, but it's it's stunning to the US and the show. Well,
what's
No,
no so I'm saying yes, I forgot to ask you like the only been
following this since the inception of this stupid, phony
vaccine, but I hadn't,
but I hadn't found me I hadn't found this yet. So to
virologists who worked at Merck, Stephen crawling and Joan Willa
kowski, filed a suit that has unsealed 2010 accusations of the
company falsifying its mumps vaccine test results to hit the
efficacy rate of 90 95% which is necessary and required by the
FDA in order to qualify for a vaccine that is healthy for
people and also gives them the the exclusive license, of course
to sell this. And then there's a second court case using the same
evidence. This is a class action lawsuit against Merck for
unlawfully monopolizing the US market for MMR which I'm sure
will be backed by other pharmaceutical corporations. And
then you look at the Disney measles outbreak data 87 cases
so far, you probably won't be hearing much about the six of
the cases, were individuals who had received the vaccine and
still came down with it. So the the, the news that we're not
surprised by this is the vaccine doesn't really work. And but but
it's being used and of course, it makes sense because the flu
vaccine doesn't really work did MMR drift? Perhaps did did the
measles dry wife
Mimi gave me a little touch of this because she apparently had
rubella when she was a kid. She was tested for it before her
first pregnancy showed no antibodies get deload toy
getting measles shots she got the measles shot few years later
they tested her no antibodies for any measles with or without
the shot data get another shot yeah booster and it's like they
don't she says that she looked into it and she's like, kind of
a amateur at this and she's like I'd
say she's a little above an amateur but
by Me amateur I mean she's not a professional not that she's no
good amateurs can be quite good at things right. Anyway, she
amateur radio people for example. Isn't this the weekend
of the thing? You know, I
I'm afraid that we might have missed it. Did we miss this? No.
I
think it's this weekend. I'm not sure is it this whatever the
case are too. So party. Yeah. QoS. So I don't know. Whatever
the case nobody reminded us now I didn't get any reminder.
Whatever the case. She says to her research indicated that the
measles thing there's a number of strains there's not one or
two or just rebelling the regular one German measles. And
there's like a whole bunch of them and they vaccines just
touch on a couple of them and the whole thing is bullcrap.
Yeah, but then you see what's happening where everyone's
discredited everyone's being make them make claim declare the
mentally ill yet where is the reporting on these lawsuits of
actual for the falsification of the data? Come on
get have that nine four Ms. Circle have a hug tell a secret
Yeah. Wow.
So that kind of blew me away I'd say
Well, you brought it up it must have all right let's see if
there's anything
well why don't we take a little break and then I do have some
spectacular things to discuss on the other side if you don't
mind. I'm gonna
show my school by donate to no agenda. Imagine all the people
who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
we have a few people to thank for show us the number again,
six nine or 4694 You know, it used to be at the top of the
spreadsheet used to have the number on it and it doesn't have
it anymore. So I always forget
I'm sure you can talk to someone in the back office and have that
reinstated if you'd like I
can I can mention that. Phillip is May as at the top of the list

of my generalities about Iceland. And he definitely
points out the fact that Puffin is not just gobbled down by
everybody in Iceland, and it's mostly in rent Westmont island

They're just billions of them there.
If I can get some Puffin here in Austin, I wouldn't mind trying.
I would like you to get some Oryx. Yeah, the Puffin but I was
spent a lot of time on Westmont Island actually is where I got

No I'm not. We'll be doing when next Sunday.
Okay, there will of course be things discussed today.
Which, which we want to start this segment you wanna do a
segment actual segment Do you?
Um, well, I mean, yeah, we can do that. Um, do you feel that?
It's about pattern? Oh, I
don't know what you're talking about tech. Well,
let's just do the segment anyone
on my phone, the way I see it, the only good phones a landline
and the phone should be made out of bagel. All right, grouchy.
It is indeed the tech grouch. Yeah. And this will be discussed
incorrectly no doubt. Technology tackle. Yes, incorrectly. No
doubt completely wrong as
to blowhards. Okay, go, Yeah, well, we
are the blowhards. Yeah, we are we are. Okay. So, Wheeler, Tom
Wheeler of the FCC comes out and says, Yeah, well, I've got it
good to go. We know how we're going to do it. But we played a
couple of bits on Thursday. Now there is a, interestingly
enough, it's a 332 page plan, but there is a cover sheet. So
it's 333 pages, which is the net neutrality rules that the FCC
that Tom Wheeler is going to be proposing. Now, whenever we see
these numbers, I mean, come on 333 33 or 33 333. I do something
that they they released a two pager, which is really
nonsensical, other than it is obvious that the FCC has taken
on the President's initial net neutrality plan pretty much
verbatim verbatim. And this is such a bull crap. Red Herring,
not going anyway be what Tom Wheeler said, guarantees this
will not happen. And well, that's a plus. It's a plus. But
it is going to make people crazy around election time. It's going
to be in the courts for a long time. And it will be used as
Obama's legacy. I mean, it's going to be used for its
political, it's completely political. And I'd like to
explain briefly why I can't wait to get my hands on the 333
pages, so we can actually see what he's what is being
proposed. But here's the problem. Do you remember the
Eric, the constitutional lawyer, he was going to go to the
Supreme Court and fight the EPA is your buddy, my buddy Eric?
Yeah. So they chose another case was chosen. So he didn't get to,
but it was the same issue. And the Supreme Court ruled in the
cliffnotes. Here, the EPA could not regulate a change their
rules to regulate greenhouse gases, because agencies don't
have that power. Congress can do that. And then they can
interpret the rules, but they can't just change rules as they
go along. And that was a groundbreaking case. And it's
very important for all of the agencies that we have. And the
FCC, I guess would be a word for kind of the commission falls
under an agency but they have power the only power they
actually have is title two and they can make rules and
legislate and the protect consumers under Title two
regulations. But Wheeler for some, I'm not sure exactly why
we'll find out but he completely punted and pretty much put this
into the area of it'll, it'll never fly by saying, we're going
to adapt and change and, you know, do a little something a
little different with title to in order to fit broadband into
that. Well, that's it. They're not allowed to do it. So for him
to even say that and you're not going to hear this analysis from
anybody but for him to even say that guarantees that you can
take it to the Supreme Court. It cannot happen Congress could
change title to have make make the changes for the FCC the FCC
to implement but what we are going to see is a universal
outpouring of
Obama bot people who have no clue what we're talking about
when it comes to net neutrality. Oh, he did it oh far it's great.
Everything's fantastic. We're gonna save the internet and my
Netflix one buffer and Facebook will be fast and everything will
be just great and become increasingly fantastic and then
it will be the ugly Republicans who are fighting them trying to
not make it happen they don't want net neutrality that it's
going to be looking crazy and it's it's
there's a giant I'm not scared yet again another giant scam to
nail the Republicans completely calm elite Hillary and her calm
whatever. They weren't completely. That could
be you literally cannot change this. Anyone who heard this who
knows about the EPA ruling and this
now was just explained to you by your Yes, yes, it was
specifically talking about Wheeler doing this. Yes, he did
okay. And I take that as extremely valid. Valid valid.
Yeah,
I still want to see the 333 pages call it Yeah, it's gonna
be some stuff in there. It's all gonna be lawful content on
lawful lawful probably a lot of that I'm just gonna be all of
that.
So in other words, this is nothing and nothing's gonna
change, nothing's
going to change No, it can't not this way you will not
hear this analysis on any other broadcast done by anybody else
or even written. Okay good.
And now I now have one for you. Oh, yep, we you you
specifically, but you have taught us how to read the
numbers in and from my goodness home. Maybe five. Maybe since
the inception of this program we have been talking about the lies
known as the unemployment numbers in the United States,
and which currently is supposed to stand at 5.6% unemployment
actually five seven I believe it went up I went up a little bit.
Well, let's take a brief moment here the the President himself
he has a podcast if you've never heard of it, he's a little video
podcast that he does. And honest video podcast today. He's now
pushing his the economics of the middle class or what if someone
advised him poorly on this name, but they're no longer talk. He
is no longer talking about the actual percentage. He just uses
different figures. That sound impressive. Hi, everybody. Hi,
everybody. Hey, hi, everybody. I am
talking with you today from Ivy Tech Community College in
Indianapolis, where I just held a town hall and heard from
everyday Americans about what we can do together to make their
lives a little better. This week, we got news that confirms
what we already know. Oh, that our businesses continue to
create jobs for hardworking folks all across the country.
Last month, America's businesses added another 267,000 jobs.
And notice how he's just given that number, not a percentage.
It sounds like a lot of jobs.
In 2014, our economy created more than 3.1 million jobs and
all our jobs this year for job growth since the late 1990s. All
told over the past 59 months, the private sector has added 11
point 8 million
new jobs oh my god, do a month statistics,
the longest streak on record. And in the single most hopeful
sign for middle class families. wages are rising again. So
America is poised for another good year. As long as Washington
works to keep this progress going. We have to choose stupid
Republican we accept an economy where only a few of us do
spectacularly well. It's a good word. Well, we build an economy
where everyone who works hard can get ahead.
That's how it's supposed to be. Everyone. Everyone gets lucky.
And there's no competition here. If you work hard, you win.
There's no winning. We don't like to foster a competitive
atmosphere. But we laugh a lot. Now everyone can share a secret
to Gallup
known from the Gallup poll gallup.com, which I think is a
well respected polling institution,
I hold them in high regard
in high regard, very good. Published on their website, a
article that said the title of the article, The Big Lie 5.6%
unemployment. And this article is it as if you wrote it, and
goes right into here something that many Americans, including
some of the smartest and most educated among us don't know,
the official unemployment rate, as reported by the US Department
of Labor is extremely misleading. And then they go
into talk about the 5.6%. And then this line, none of them
will tell you this. If you are a family member, anyone who is
unemployed and has subsequently given up on finding a job. If
you are so hopelessly out of work, you've stopped looking
over the past four weeks, the Department of Labor doesn't
count you as unemployed. That's right. While you are as
unemployed as one can possibly be the tragically May and
tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in
the figure we see relentlessly in the news currently 5.6%.
Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work
or severely underemployed, than the vast majority of them aren't
throwing parties to toast the falling unemployment. So this is
a scathing article coming from kind of a mainstream source. And
it's caused some some ripples. And the CEO of Gallup went on I
think he's MSNBC. And he said something. So if John C Dvorak
and Adam curry are talking about this big lie, and how
people who immediate like for seven years
Yes, and it's these people have turned into bums and homeless
and they don't count as unemployed in that number. And
we have consistently said, this is bogus, bogus, bogus. No one's
going to kill us. And no one cares now do we Does anyone care
about
your A podcast being at the Moon Bay
baying at the moon. However, if you're the CEO of Gallup, and
this is published under your authority, you might say the
following on CNBC,
I don't think that the government is misleading us at
all. I think that the number that comes out of BLS, and the
Department of Labor is very, very accurate. I need to make
that very, very clear. So I don't disappear. I need to make
it home tonight. Why don't you just take it home, this
will suddenly disappear.
Not working for a bank or anything. They do kill their
employees, but everyone's gonna use a
well, let's listen again. Listen,
paranoia that's in this country. Yes. Well, and rightly so. Say
How can you guys do that show? Aren't you afraid of getting
killed? Well, what are you talking about?
I don't think that the government is misleading us at
all. I think that the number that comes out of BLS, and the
Department of Labor is very, very accurate. I need to make
that very, very clear. So I don't suddenly just disappear. I
need to make it home tonight. We hoped that wouldn't be a follow
up anyway, carry on.
So he's what he's trying to do here is is indeed protect us as
not again, suicided? Because the numbers that they're using are
correct. But he's he's just going to say, but they don't
really use all the numbers.
But no, our I think it's the way the numbers being used. So
Gallup analytic teams they looked into, they're trying to
figure out where the middle class was looked into the GDP.
And of course, GDP, your audience is very astute. We know
it hasn't moved in five years. Yeah, blended rate of five years
is about 2.2. So then we went to jobs. We said, well, I keep
reading and in good papers, Wall Street Journal, the Financial
Times, and the president tells us that, that their unemployment
is the best. It's been in 10 years. Okay, there's one side of
it. Our concern with our analysts is that, that it's
very, very misleading, because what America really wants her
full time jobs, okay. 30 plus hours. But here's the here's the
point, the misleading point, the percent of full time jobs in
this country, to the population is the worst. It's been in 30
years. And although you have an astute audience, when you're at
dinner, ask people about this. Nobody knows that number, except
as
they listen to the no agenda show.
Well, I'm looking at the shadow stats latest release. Now it
hasn't been going up anymore, which is a plus. But it hasn't
been doing anything but looks like it's steady at 23 and a
half percent unemployment rate. The official numbers are both
going down the EU three in the US six, but the shadow stats
alternative which is which is claimed to be and I've had
people write in saying I guy's full of crap. He uses fudge
factors. It's possible, whatever the case is, it makes more sense
what his numbers are. But it it's based on the kind of
numbers when we look at the depression of the 30s the way
things were calculated back then to make it to the point where we
got 30% unemployment at one point that's the calculation
that's being done by supposedly being done by Williams here at
the shadow stats operation. And he's coming up with 23 and a
half percent not 30 not 25 never got the 25 but it's steady now
it's steady it's just like a flatline is flatlined at this so
in other words nothing good has happened right?
Well, at least he's our CEO friend here is going to be
around a while
but no agenda listener could look at anyone that listening to
CEOs listen no agenda I don't know maybe to ruin their lives I
have no idea what I don't know what the problem is. Okay, that
was a good bit good we're gonna close the tech segment.
Oh yeah, that wasn't even tech anymore so we kind of moved on
I'll just move on we don't need to close
to closing screw what Wait, wait No it did let's leave it open
because I have oh, I have two clips. Okay, fascinating. One
time YouTube show this now being you know what they bought time
or what's going on? But the show people should look at average
valley girl valley girl. What are you doing? Amina valley girl
is Tim Draper's daughter.
Oh right Tim break Draper legendary venture capital
investor in
right who's also a con rally and he gives his speeches. a rap
song which is like Sunday. Here you go. Oh my God.
It's not that social media song isn't No no,
it's just as bad though. And his daughter was named eludes me for
just a split second here. His daughter has been trying to do a
TV show called Valley Girl where she she gets some of the best
guests in the world because Tim Draper Yeah, of course. Yeah.
And so he gets she gets Schmidt Eric Schmidt heavy hitters on
and then she just blow as far as I'm concerned just blows the
interview because she doesn't know anything. She's really
seems like a sweet girl who is pretty knowledgeable about
stuff. So she's got this woman on who is there going to talk
about and give us kind of the rundown of Bitcoin?
Oh, wait a minute. You do realize her dad purchased the
majority of the Silk Road Bitcoin from the FBI in in an
auction? Yeah. So she's shilling.
Yeah. Okay, good. Yeah. Well, let's get the well I guess I
should have mentioned that. Let's get that straight she
shilling for the old man in some funny way. He
knows what side her bread is buttered on this year, a few
generalities about
Bitcoin. So we can all be up to speed Starting with part one
digital asset
to get transferred to anyone, anywhere, anyplace in the world
without any permission without any borders. And without any
time delay really, I look at it like it's a digital currency and
it could make just the transference of money from
country to country easier. It could do a lot of other things
as well. Is that perspective? That makes sense? Absolutely. So
the first thing is as a currency so you can it's almost like a
universal denominator. It's kind of like the euro for Europe, but
Bitcoin for the world. It's so much better.
It's like the euro for Euro vocal fry. Up talk. It's like,
it's like a currency for bone. Ma better. It's almost as bad as
Chelsea Clinton interviewing Stella McCartney,
heavy. You see that?
No, but I want to see if you seen the calls for giving
Chelsea Clinton. Brian Brian Williams
job? Yes. Yeah, of course.
That's right. Let's go on. To have this fascinating.
This is great. Yeah, I can't I still have my bitcoin. Good,
that digital asset and you can give it to somebody else without
any shadow of a doubt. And that's really worth.
What does that mean? You can give it to somebody else without
any shadow of a doubt.
Yeah, because of these, the records kept that Bitcoins are
all everyone knows where the bitcoin is
else without any shadow of a doubt. And that's really where
the breakthrough technology is, because I can give you a $20
bill. And I don't have to ask anybody else to do that. Right.
And there's nothing tracking that $20 bill. That's right.
That's right. Where as for a Bitcoin, I can transfer a
Bitcoin to you without asking anybody's permission. But
there's a whole network that validates that I have that
Bitcoin and I can give you that Bitcoin, what are some of the
others?
Okay, so the $20 bill I can give to you, without anybody giving
me permission. But who knows that you have it? The Bitcoin is
so much better, because I can give that to you, too. But
everyone knows you have it now. That's really a lot better.
Well, it's only your viewer hash your hash, it's key that people
know have empowered, right? Hey, if I can pay my rent in Bitcoin,
I'll get interested again. That's all I have to say about
it happening. Now. Of course, it's not going that well,
they're trying they
just went on and on and on and on with these two dingbats. I
mean, I don't know what to tell you why
we lose out with 80% of our audience who are all in on
Bitcoin?
I know they hate our guts for questioning it. People say
they stop listening to the show because of our stake solace. In
that fact. Go listen to the valley girls show instead of us.
Exactly. Saying get a kick out of
it at least. Yeah, thank you. And while you're at it, then we
might as well play the meme fest that is Susan Rice, on climate
change. This woman, she must write her own things. Because
you have
a clip of somebody that worked in the White House. I've been
trying to do this and maybe I'll get these with Susan Rice clips.
Susan Rice has a very specific cadence to the way she talks.
And it's a I'm guessing and it's apparent that it is contagious.
Because I have a clip of a woman that sounds just like Susan
Rice. She worked in the White House with Susan Rice and she
now talks like her which is funny clipped. Lots of pauses.
Kind of an accent in there that I don't really fully grasp. But
I find her outrageously annoying. Well, yes, I like her.
I don't like anything about her. I just very suspicious of her.
Me too.
And, of course this is part of our national security strategy
framework things steering committee which we discuss asked
earlier, climate change is without a shadow of a doubt, a
huge issue for our national security, international
national, our asset, whatever. But she just wrote everything
she says is a cliche everything
this right there, American leadership is addressing the
very real threat of climate change that she does she
practices in the mirror and hear herself. I mean, it's a cliche
after cliche after cliche It's like she had a PowerPoint with
just slides with one line on each slide
like all those hurricanes we've had these
guys come before congressional hearings and talk that saying
the opposite of all this, and then the head of IT White House,
mostly when he was hitting the committee's saying, Yeah, full
of crap. And then they just make stuff up. And then we go on
you're gonna pay off. I'll tell you. Ground. We already debunked
that bull crap. It doesn't go into plan till 2030. The Chinese
never agreed to anything except that they're gonna look at it
and 2030 Well,
then she's not she's being truthful. It's so groundbreaking
that everyone thinks it's great when it's nothing that's pretty
groundbreaking.
I guess if you're a scammer.
Bend it down. There we go. The United Nations interesting. So
here is the actual plan. This comes from Christiana Figueres
who is now the head of the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change. She told reporters that we had
to clip this is the first time in the history of mankind. These
people must jack off to this shit they're saying they must
think they're so cool. Oh god, I'm so awesome. This is the
first time in the history of mankind. We are setting
ourselves the task of internationally within a defined
period of time to change the economic development model that
has been raining for at least 150 years since the Industrial
Revolution what that's what these people think they're doing
Wow. She wants to change the economic development model to
what
will I say goes
communism Yeah, what is this I don't know
it sounds like fascism or given give me a give money
to other countries and charge for carbon tank No. But these
people they believe it they so believe this stuff?
I don't know how you get to that point. Well, is it any different
from Alec Baldwin and thinker if you just believe this stuff?
lockstep? But
is it any different from Alec Baldwin and Brian Williams they
believe in they believe what they're doing this
yet to play that clip again at the end of the show? I don't get
it. Okay. Okay. short clip it's and then you play Obama being
the Muslim I think that's
Well, that's good. You say that less than 10 minutes together.
It is almost time everybody. Let's close out the tech segment
on my phone and her head is gone. And I think those are the
main things that I have that I wanted to deal with today.
Hopefully we'll get oh Reggie Love is now this you'd see this
Reggie Love Reggie low No, Reggie Love is the is the
President Obama's former lover out of the bag man. Who would
carry that He carried his bag the body body man is what they
call it. He has now signed up and he is going to be working
very closely with David Cameron. And he will he will be in the
UK. They're calling he will be chief of stuff. And he will be
working
deep of stuff. Yeah. As in getting stuff. Is your words. He
will be cameras Randy boy. So I
think either he's there to keep his eye on camera and because
he's got the goods on him and he's the guy that supposed to
say, remember we have these pictures of you? Or maybe he's
got the goods on Obama. I don't know.
Maybe he's just there to have fun. Just hanging out.
I had I find this. I didn't know he was some kind of political
consultant Huh, you know that that's that move. Yeah, you
gotta be careful with things like this happening.
No kidding. So like the queen Alyssa Have a docked in San
Francisco okay,
it's normally in Long Beach is it?
No no that that's your thing to the Queen Mary whatever that
thing is it's a museum This is the new that QE to the big giant
boat which I tried to get on once just look around when I was
working at Market Watch and they wouldn't let me on it they acted
like a holes the Qunari people
oh that's the shortened bags.
Anyway so the meanwhile of course the KQED woman is there
with a camera crew and you know shooting on the boat
Am I Am I hearing that you were you were slighted you were
shined by the Qunari people that wouldn't let you on for free
to I didn't want a free ride.
I just want to get on and report on
it. I wanted to get on look around see what this thing look
like Perhaps they had heard of your work? No, no,
they didn't hear it or care is that asshole?
No, we don't want him on the boat.
And he's one of the men on the boat because of Homeland
Security was their excuse okay? And no, no, no, we can't do
that. No, no, no, you can't go blah blah blah. And of course I
have I carry a grudge of sorts. And why not and I but I reveal
it's not like anyone's going to be surprised by this report
being negative. But this bull crap crack you know this is like
okay, this woman's on there and the guy comes on he's Yeah, we
do this we do that it's all bull crap. And this play this canard
dining room for the people who pay top dollar to get on board
the Queen Elizabeth cruise ship that is docked in San Francisco
this weekend. We were told that people who get to eat in this
dining room pay anywhere from 10,000 to as much as $100,000 to
get their ticket and the appeal is they can pretty much get
whatever they want when they come down here we have promoted
Varma who is the head waiter here. What people who come to
dine here get their own Butler is that crabbing
every every guest dining the queensville have their own
Butler's every suite
and what sort of things can they ask for to eat?
Oh literally anything. They have a big ala carte menu which saves
lives like caviar lobster shatter brioche roast duck steak
whatever they like it's a big exclusive ala carte menu for
them.
So if I came down here and said I want pancakes pumpkin pancakes
we'll make it
we'll we'll always make it we'll try to make it of course
we'll try to make
try to make it as not the same as literally anything auric
steak
you you have a bug up your ass about these guys, man. In Oric
steak. Oh, go we can't do that. I love it when you get pissed
off. Hey, holes, yeah. Okay. Oh man, you
can get your grudges
out of a podcast and
you got some complaints. You got some graduate broadcasts. That's
what a podcast is for. That's what any broadcasting made
mediums for. All right, well, we should get out of here we have
we have solemnly committed
to keeping our the length of our show and check and keeping
things for the next episode. And yeah,
I got a couple of things I want to do. I'm a Gabi, I got my Gabi
coming.
If you want to throw some out now we could do one more. I did
want to say that I'm working on this pedo bear story Jeffrey
Epstein. And apparently this video that the FBI purportedly
has of powerful men having sex with underage girls on his on
his island.
Oh, yeah, that guy. Yeah, got it. Clinton was associated with
it. So was
the prince Tony Blair and Prince Andrew.
And Prince Andrew. Right, not Tony. Right.
So the what we're hearing now from one of the victims is that
the FBI has videotape and his blackmailing people. Yeah. Oh,
really? Well, that's, that's what I'm working on. That's what
I'm working on for for Thursday.
But that's fascinating. Right? Yeah. Could be.
It depends on what comes out of it. And oh, and of course the
Pentagon spending half a million dollars and Viagra was kind of
interesting. They handled Viagra to troops. I didn't know this.
Yeah, so they can rate people. What's the story in Syria or
where was the bullcrap?
I think it was Libya. Wasn't Libya. That was part of her set,
everybody. Yeah. I agree. So they could rape people. Yeah,
well, that's
not what they handed handed out to our troops. Apparently. You
get eight. I think you get eight a month. Why is
rationing young men the rash? Because pills. I don't know,
John. I don't know. This is this is
selling on the black market. Maybe I don't know what the deal
is. This is old generals. Yeah,
that but that was Yeah, wasn't that was good, I think was
Gaddafi. And the other hand that had Viagra to handle to rape
women. And meanwhile, we're actually handing out Viagra to
our troops. Well, we'll have I'm sure we will have one of our
let's find
out more later about kid wants about play, which I think it'd
be appropriate because we just talked about this as a breaking
story last year. Oh, that is not going to be breaking for much
longer. But this is a clip I have a follow up on the anthem
hack. Yes. And this is the anomaly within the story, which
makes me think that we're not being that something else. Oh,
okay.
All right. I love this stuff.
Today's disclosure of a major hacking attack on the nation's
second largest health insurer Anthem is setting off alarms
about cybercrime at a new level, hackers were able to crack a
database that included records for 80 million people, the cyber
criminals were able to get names, addresses and emails, as
well as social security numbers and income. But hospital and
Doctor information related to patients was not hacked.
Bloomberg News reported that investigators believe Chinese
state sponsors are involved.
Oh, man,
all right. Now, here's the anomaly. Obviously, if there if
there is medical information, why would they leave that alone?
If these Chinese what do they give a crap they just steal
everything? Why would they leave this this valuable information
on because it's illegal to to get a hold of you know, this
this information is private ends up is like a probably a
misdemeanor to take the address and a felony to take the medical
information? Yes. Why would the Chinese care? This is a
competitor who did this. They are the second largest when they
said second largest, I said immediately to myself, who's
number of self? Who's number one who's gonna who would want this
information? What are the Chinese wanted for? They don't
want this information that competitor once the information
either the biggest, the largest ones, or the third largest ones
that somebody within the community wants it, the Chinese
don't want it. Why are they blaming the Chinese just oh,
just to scare the public? The Chinese are after this? No, this
is industrial espionage. And nobody even brings it up as a
possibility. And I know and
I feel this was news hour I thought sounded. I feel as you
know, my pet peeve. You cannot use words like cracked anymore.
This is not appropriate in 2015. And you can't just say they
cracked a database. Now I believe used to say this oracle,
it's an Oracle product, and they deliver all this. How did that
happen? Who's in charge? Who was the team who did the
implementation? These are the things that need to be
discussed. That's a big company. That's a valid it's a valid
conversation.
Yeah. Glitch thing?
Who is yes, now cracked. They cracked what is that? It's like
an egg. No, so database is different.
So the funny thing about where the crowd bed cuz I you know,
you kind of know behind the scenes of these things working
here and there is that somebody in the staff is a computer guy,
of course. And he's probably read Steve Levy's book from 30
years ago called hackers, where he makes the the makes the he
says that hacking is the wrong word to use, it should always be
cracking, because hackers are good people. They're always just
kind of hacking around. And the criminals are all the crackers.
And you should call it cracking not hacking. And this never
caught on people who still use hacking commonly to mean
criminal activity. But But there's always some Stickler and
I've had seen it in audiences. It's not really a crack. It's
not really hacking, because it should be called cracking not
hacking. And and I betcha that's where that came from in this
particular report. So I'm guessing
it's crack. It was crack now hacked. Yeah.
Guy on the staff. Well,
I like what you're saying who would be the number one
above anthem?
I don't know. That's a good question.
Is, is it
HCA health care America might be I think they're the biggest
anthem and those guys are a holes. Oh, yeah. They
do it for sure. See a health care provider providers. Yeah,
largest.
Do you have something you find out if that? I think HCA is the
largest.
I think it comes up as Kaiser. Oh, yeah.
Well, that Yeah. Kaiser. Maybe Ah, but these are the it's
insurable. Anthemius insurance. HCA is a provider not A?
Well, Kaiser is both Oh, okay. It's kind of an insurance. Well,
here's the top 10 I mean, it's vague either way. I mean, I
found a lot of sites that can look at it. Do all these phony
baloney reviews. I hate these online you'd run into Humana
number one ah if you're not going to count cut your cases
number eight.
So you think that they were using it for the for the for a
mailing list? We send out a newsletter yeah mailing
list. send out a newsletter. Mailing Lists that's how you do
it. Hey,
your your your information may have been hacked cracked stone
glitch from Anthem, we can help you.
United hell Aetna, Aetna, Aetna was on this list. So I don't
know what they are Celtic asked what what Assurant select tells
Kaiser Cigna Coventry are the ones they review here and with
Humana getting the top reviews and I wonder who runs the
website I use Humana for my use some Humana for some some
ancillary insurance, and they're, they do a good job, but
they have a kind of a they have some douchey policies, but they
all do these guys. When I was a kid, I used it was on Kaiser
because I'd worked for Kaiser, and I think I still have I think
they give you permanent health care or something.
You might still have it you go look at your permanent
healthcare may still be there John
might be. Anyway, that's well, that's,
that's that's the point well taken.
We don't get acknowledged enough of the industrial espionage that
goes on between companies, and they'd be more likely to be able
to why did the Chinese give a crap about the user list of
Kaiser are verbs sorry, of Anthem? They don't
know. No, it's just it's the go to excuse and boy we haven't
heard much of from about North Korea anymore. That just died
overnight. They did one hack crack of Sony and then they
retired.
Yeah, they're all done. They did their job
overnight. We don't need anything anymore. This is good
to go.
Yeah. What a crock. No. All right, that'll do it. All right.
This
is all part of your healthy news diet. This is why we do this to
make sure that you can laugh. Laugh when not only do you see
this coming by in unavoidable, mainstream informations
telescreen systems, but also you can chuckle when your colleagues
and family are just spouting this off and you know that
you're healthy. You don't have to, by the way, is not a good
idea to lean into immediately, you know, just lean into it
carefully.
And obviously, then the commentary with people that are
not well informed is ah, that's interesting.
But don't snort. snort. Alright, everybody, thank you so much for
supporting the work today. And chat room. Thanks for tuning in
no agenda stream.com be leaving for New York tomorrow. I guess.
That's a more snow so who knows how travel will be and I will
great fun. I shall be tweeting an address for a meetup. So keep
tuned to the social medias. And thank you for always supplying
us with insights, information, analysis ideas, and pictures. We
love it all. Especially the pictures. Coming to you from the
crackpot condo here in the headquarters of FEMA Region six
Austin, Texas in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry and
from
Northern Silicon Valley where it's still raining. I'm John C.
Dvorak. We
will be back with you. Thursday right here on no agenda,
remember us at the vorak.org/na s and don't forget the
Jackalope.
I'm Joe Biden and thank you for taking the time to listen.
It's not okay. We need to
kill them. We need to kill that
he one of the ways we succeeded was we just jumped out of the
plane and we pulled the ripcord and we just took it one step at
a time and we turned around the next thing you know, We're
escaping. Yeah,
there's the I got this syndrome. Yeah, I guess I do say to myself
and others. Yes, I can. I've got this. And I don't know where
that unbridled confidence came from. And I've done some
ridiculously stupid things under that banner. Like being in a
helicopter I had no business being in in Iraq with rounds
coming into the airframe.
Meanwhile, in Washington, President Obama condemned
Islamic State atrocities. He told the National Prayer
Breakfast. No God condones terror.
No grievance justifies the taking of innocent lives, or the
oppression of those who are weaker, or fewer number. And so
as people of faith we are summoned to push back against
those who tried to distort our religion, any religion for their
own nihilistic ends, and that's the story. Adios MoPhO
