It's bootstrapping on its own complexity in an exponential
way. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. Sunday, February 15 2015. Time
for your gizmo nation media assassination episode six Niner.
Six. This is no agenda, fighting the New World Order with nothing
but a congress in a rubber knife live from FEMA Region six in
Austin, Texas in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry.
I'm from Northern Silicon Valley where I have the truth about the
origins of double nickels on the dime. I'm John C. Dvorak. Vaughn
Buzzkill.
As that is the most important thing,
I think so you got the truth. You know, the most important
thing is why does this you know, so I have as this is like, I
have two problems in my life. Whoa, only two well two that are
that are consistent throughout when I since I was a little kid
to now okay. Oh, one I lose every flashlight I've ever
owned. I believe that there's a flashlight graveyard.
Flashlights are in it.
I think we've talked about this. It's right near the socks.
The other one is I lose all the staplers. Really? Yes, I have I
finally found one. So I could staple some of these things I
get here. And then this stapler which seems like a nice enough
stapler made by one as easy to read one. I had one of those
last two roots deeper. This one will get the place down.
burned down. No agenda show.
So this stapler doesn't work. Oh, man. It doesn't matter. Or
I'm
sorry about how does a stapler even malfunction? i It doesn't
just so simple. It's such a simple mechanism I'm looking at
it doesn't make any sense. Well, normally what I would do is I
would ask her echo and echo would answer was echo. Alexa.
Alexa, yeah, I got my my Amazon spy device in. Man. Staples
stinks. Now the stapler stuck to all the papers. Okay, good. I
got my Amazon.
eavesdropping. Oh, you bought that stupid piece of crap.
Let me tell you something. Have you? Have you tried it out?
I've never even seen one. Oh, I see what you're saying. So you
think I'm judgmental?
No. Why would I ever say that? What evidence good. Can I base
that on? I don't know. I have to say, if this thing were made by
Apple, and they made it white, or you know, titanium would be
shitting themselves over it. You think I know people the fanboys
would be crapping themselves. Oh, Apple
blew it. They totally didn't run, they probably would have
picked it up.
I John, they totally blew it. I have to say this thing.
Okay, once you explain to people what this is that you're talking
about, okay, so it's
a black cylindrical tube with very fancy colored light ring on
top. That's pretty much all these but it's also a speaker.
And you you plug it in, you set it up, which is fairly simple.
It sounds like somebody that you tried to sell to Google because
it sounds like a Google device.
I play a lot with you know, now that I'm all in of course, I'm
trying to figure out what works and how, where the money is
being made. So Siri mare, you know, okay, it's okay. But you
still you still have to either hold down the button or say Hey,
Siri, and you have to wait for it to activate. That's the thing
that is the most bothersome, I think just from a user interface
perspective. Then you have Google which Okay, Google, you
still even that just okay, Google. But yeah, it is limited
in what it can do this thing. Oh, John, it's firstly, you
don't have to wait for activation, you just say Alexa
and you keep on talking. And then it parses that, you know,
really quickly. Stopping music, starting music playing stuff.
The thing that I liked the most is adding something to a to do
list, which then shows up in an app on your phone. That's the
thing that I really like I'm always walking on Oh, I gotta
get this. I gotta do this. I gotta get put this on the
shopping list. It really works is like from the future with
this thing. I'm telling you that had to add an apple logo on it.
Everyone would be crapping themselves that they did. And
you'd say it from across the room. Just in a normal voice in
this thing. figures it out, which of course means that it's
spying on me all the time. This we know. So I want to see what
kind of advertising advertisements or whatever I
started start showing up. Or whatever offers I guess Amazon
would be offering me things
that you had it long enough to know.
No, no, I only got back game. I only get back from New York
yesterday.
And the thing was sitting there waiting for Did you order one or
they send you
one? No, I ordered one. There was 99 bucks for Prime members.
And I think I got mine much earlier than most for some
reason.
You think is worth 99 bucks. Yeah.
Well, I mean, again, it's sitting here spot Hang on me,
let's make no mistake. But with with things that could enhance
it, you know, it really is. I have to say, very intriguing if
this is the first voice activated system I've liked
where you're not, you know, it throughout history of devices.
Boy, it's going to be so simple and everything's going to work
perfectly and it never ends. And just the fact that I have to
wake up things by giving it a keyword, and then wait for it to
activate this thing, you just say its name, and then you keep
going. And it figures out what the key word has to be. No, but
you don't have to wait for it to say Yes, I'm ready. You just say
the name and you keep going and and it parses that.
And it does cute little things. name again.
It's the Amazon Echo.
What was the key word? Amazon Echo?
Alexa?
Yeah, Alexa turned off?
Yeah. It does. It does. Some interesting, cute things. Where
if you if it's playing music, and you say, what's the what's
the weather as an example of something that I couldn't figure
out any other way? Of course? No, no, it's
impossible.
It does do a nice like, it lowers the volume of the music
and mixes the weather report over it. And then you know, then
picks up the music backup. It's all these little things. And I'm
very intrigued since
coming out of this box. I'm sorry. The music's coming out of
this box. Yeah. Which is a jazz that fidelity is I would die
sound pretty much like the box right there.
No, it sounds okay, the Sonos is better. In fact, that's what you
want. You want this in the Sonos. But of course, you can't
do things like your Spotify playlist. And
look, can't you hear here? Can't you take in the seems to me,
you'd have this thing and it's got some output jacks and you
hook it up to a real stereo system.
It? I wish, I wish, I wish I wish it doesn't it doesn't have
a jack out I wish. And I think that's because they
listen to those cheesy little speakers.
John, it's not cheesy little speakers. You just being a dick.
It's not. Yeah, it's not cheesy little speakers.
They're big. 12 inches or 12 inch woofer involved. Fuck
you. Okay, I'm sorry. I brought it up. Alright, nevermind. It's
your I'm telling you that it doesn't sound that bad. And
you're making it sound like it's cheesy shit. I'm surprised. I'm
being honest. I'm surprised by what it can do. That's all.
Now okay, let's go back. I'm sorry. I demeaned him for not
having a 12 inch woofer. But let's start with this. What does
it do besides the weather? Well, okay, wait, wait, I think
I'm not going to do a review of the of the box list is good. I'm
not going to do a review of the box. I'm just saying that I'm
impressed with the voice recognition technology and
parsing natural language, I'm impressed with it
that is sending. Sending your voice, whatever it records and
then sending it to like maybe India and somebody say Oh, I
know what
enough. No, no, it's very fast. And inside the box. No, I think
that it is sending everything adheres to wherever it needs to
go all the time. I don't really think that the box itself is
doing any of this. I think I think literally there's a stream
of my sound in my house going to Amazon 24/7 I don't see how else
they could do it. Well, I
don't see how they could do it either. But then on the other
hand, I don't see how they can handle all the streams. Well, I
mean, I know that got a huge server farm that's fine s3
Whatever it is, and well Amazon's but that's a lot of
bandwidth and be sucking up constantly the Amazon
Web Services is most of most of today's Internet services run on
it I mean, this is this is very big. This is not just a server
farm this is huge infrastructure. I'm saying again
I'm not going to review this box because it's dumb I sit there
and I'm asking fucking thing to read the weather to me right I
get it it's not all that great. I do like it really
understanding what I want added to it to do list. That's
interesting, because that proves how the voice recognition and
interaction works it's it's it is better than Google is better
than Apple Siri it's just good. That's all
I think this is the beginning of the end. Let me tell you I said
yesterday I said Alexa, play the latest no agenda episode and I
swear to God 695 started playing. No, yes, yes. It picks
it up through I think tune in radio. And it understood no
agenda show. You've understood latest episode and it's actually
started playing if that was trippy man.
All right. I'm reminded of Jacques le Well, the great
French sociologist who wrote the book, the technological society,
a book I recommend everybody along with his other one of his
other great books, called propaganda which is very
interest think Oh, and he had this larger thesis about how the
technological society was going to kill it and kill us all. For
all practical purposes it predated Kaczynski. Right. And
he had he had this, how it's gonna do it and what it's going
to do and how the technologists are going to take over the world
and the technocrats will determine what was good and bad
for us all. And he did he maintain this. And then some
years later in his life, I think he got a PC. He was after that
all in. That was the end of him. Well,
I'm not all in but I am. I feel like I am.
Yeah, you're all really? Oh, yeah. I don't have a problem
with it. No,
I'm not all in. I'm, I'm actually canary in the coal
mine. It'd be if I start to choke that, you know, get out.
Yeah. All right. If they bring the price down to 4999. Maybe I
try one of those things. Get the oil. I don't like something just
listening in on me.
Of course not. You can you can unplug it. And you can also
there's a button on the device that apparently mutes it. You
got to wonder, yeah. You really gotta wonder
break tend to be muted. Okay. All righty.
All right. Well, I'll see if I can. I try to plug it in here.
And I was gonna do a little demo. Screw it. I'm not selling
shit for Amazon, just so you're not getting paid for that as a
service to our listeners. I have to say that. I think one of the
first people with this and before any other tech show comes
out. I want to I want to I wanted to jump on it. By the
way. Just got to notice. CIA headquarters in Langley Virginia
on lockdown for an unknown reason right now as we speak.
Ah, I don't know why I don't know what's going on. Well,
maybe they all go out to their cars and listen to the no agenda
show. All right, boys
like it down crackpot and Buzz killer on let's go. Yeah. So I'm
back from New York. I'm glad I'm back from New York actually.
Well, you had fun in New York.
I did. But it was so cold. That was that was abnormally couldn't
really do much. They did go to an outstanding restaurant. Which
was the it's new or relatively new the Empire Bar and Grill in
the empire state building itself. But just floor. Ground
Floor. Okay, on the street side. And it was really it was nice,
because that was talking to the to the manager who also does the
the wine list or whatever.
Did you give them a desk?
It's a her? No, she gave her a desk? No. However, I did fill
out the survey card that she said, Would you mind filling out
this survey about our service? And she did email me back and I
want to share that with you.
Basically wanted to screw Yeah.
Hi, Adam. It was really great meeting you tonight. I've always
been a fan. What I like I'm going to start out like that.
And I'm glad that you had a nice dinner and you enjoyed the wine
in the service. We'll do our best to work on getting more
strippers. But I think there might be a few more
conversations needed before that will happen. And I put that on
the little humor there. Put that up on the on the cards of what
can we do to improve the strippers,
stress? You put that on all the cards? Of course, of course,
that would improve
my experience tremendously.
Yeah. Okay, all right. Thank you. Here's a way that you're
going to read the letter with that beginning. And then he
said, I listen to the no agenda show, as you suggested. And it's
a fantastic what a product for turning me on. No agenda show.
What
a great product. Oh, yes. You'll be listening. Don't worry. Don't
worry. Oh, man, there's so much going on. I spent most of my
permanency all of yesterday just going through what's seems to be
a never ending bevy of regulations and executive orders
and, and our president of Gitmo nation. It's not it's not at all
like you'd think there was some kind of connection but now all
of a sudden does an interview with Kara Swisher wisher for
recode. And she of course is still married but separated from
the Chief Technology Officer of the entire United United States.
You think there's a connection with her getting that interview
and that particular C G information?
G Do you think? Yeah, but it was so I don't know. Did you see
this interview? Now? I pulled a couple clips if you're
interested.
I wouldn't be interested but I want to put it in context by
playing a couple of clips myself already. Let's start with
executive order banning as he says be banned.
I have the executive order here. Okay. Can't what I can't wait to
hear
not hacker. Isn't cyber hackers a big security step right in the
middle of Silicon Valley. Good evening, I'm Veronica Dela Cruz
and I can see the President Obama today signed an executive
order designed to stop cyber attacks. The main focus of his
Bay Area visit KPI Expo is Devin feely says that the whole idea
is to get tech companies and government to hacking together.
Yeah, that's exactly right. Now, increasingly, people are living
their lives online, either their computers or their smartphones.
And the public just wants to feel that their information is
safe and their devices are secure. But the President's
message was that the threat of cyber attacks is bigger and
broader, potentially affecting the economy and the country
itself.
Oh, perfect. Perfect lead in John. Good, good. Perfect. Well,
the executive order does not actually stop cyber crime or
what about can it? Does people think it is designed to stop
cybercrime? Oh, right. No, it's not. It's designed to force the
sharing between the private sector and the government
because they're
not cooperating. And when Obama showed up down here, Google
wouldn't show go to his event, Yahoo wouldn't go to his event,
and neither would Facebook has they've all been burned by the
guy, right? Yeah,
yeah. And Kara did ask some questions to that regard. But
maybe we should just take a brief look at some of the
highlights of this executive order, which no one will do for
you. Except a no agenda show. But this is in the this is so
there's a couple of sections. It's really it is changing old
executive orders and the US Code, I believe, to safeguard
the sharing part of so that companies are indemnified that
the government can, you know, under certain circumstances can
force I mean, it's too much for me, even to parse all because
that's all in the last section is like this crazy. It's all
this legal referring to stuff and you know that they're
striking sections, inserting words this just to make
everything official, we don't even need a law at this point.
In order to address cyber threats to public health and
safety, national security and economic security of the United
States, private companies, nonprofit organizations,
executive departments and agencies and other entities must
be able to share information related to cybersecurity risks
and incidents, and collaborate to respond in as close to real
time as possible. As right we have real time skip logic
solutions we can see here on the dashboard. And the order builds
upon the foundation established by executive order 13636 of
February 12 2013. That was the we went through this when
improving critical infrastructure, cybersecurity,
and the Presidential Policy Directive 21. That's an
important one. That's about the critical infrastructure,
security and resilience. All of these things combined make it
just unnecessary to even pass a bill in Congress. I'm telling
you information sharing analysis. Oh, yes, we're
starting the I S A O. A people were tweeting about this, like
it was new, like we hadn't discussed this over and over
again that this was going to happen. The Secretary of
Homeland Security Jeh Johnson shall strongly encourage the
development and formation of Information Sharing and Analysis
organizations. And that is the ISA O is OMIM is EO membership
may be drawn from the public or private sectors or consists of a
combination of public and private sector organizations.
They may be formed as for profit or nonprofit entities. And then
there's a whole bunch of language as to how you can
qualify to be an ISA do as as either a for profit or nonprofit
entity. This is going to be another Bonanza John that we're
not in on is going to do
is a
whole as a whole. The Secretary will in fact, in consultation
with other federal entities responsible for conducting
cybersecurity related activities through an open and competitive
process, enter into an agreement with a non governmental
organization to serve as the ISA o standards organization which
shall identify a common set of voluntary standards or
guidelines for the creation and functioning of Isa OHS under
this order. So this is a shoo in. It's pretty much good to go
we're all be sharing or our information will be shared by
the very same companies who did not attend. The was it
technical? Is it these? Were they call it the security summit
was a call that
tech security summit or some crap? I don't know. So here's
Kara Swisher
the way she started off just threw up in my mouth. Thank
you for being here. Mr. President. We're very excited to
do an interview with recode and we have a lot of topics. Do you
hear what she just said?
Very excited to do an
interview with recode did she reading his lines or what did
what went wrong? I
guess it was scripts that probably handed the papers back
get
back a full What happened? They're like, No. How do you
know? Recode may be excited to do it with you, although recode
is an entity, maybe you're excited, Kara.
Thank you for being here. Mr. President. We're very excited to
do an interview with recode. And we have a lot of topics to talk
about. We're gonna go from cybersecurity,
what do you say? Let's go. As I said, let's roll.
He said, let's go. And so here she's doing something which I
find to be abhorrent as an as a journalist. She's going to tell
the President right now with a list of all the things she's
going to talk about. Why would you even do that?
It was definitely not something Larry King would do. Now.
We're gonna go from cybersecurity, your relationship
with Silicon Valley. Privacy, STEM education, got it all
covered. Got it all covered. Mr. Tech, Mr.
That is, that is exactly how these morons think about Mr.
Tech. No drama, Obama, Mr. Tech, no drama, I'm telling you, this
is what they think of him. They really believe he understands
all this crap.
He knows how to use a Blackberry.
That does come up in this. Okay, so now he's going to talk about
the critical infrastructure that we need to be protected above.
And if we harp on anything, it's why are the systems connected to
the internet at all, there's no necessity. You don't have to be
putting up big firewall just don't connect it. Just air gap.
That stuff? Yeah, there's problems with people bringing in
USB drives and stuff. But that's up to these companies
themselves. But there was a couple in here that I went home,
really, maybe he's telegraphing something, which these
interviews are typically used for. Because we need to have an
event.
One of the big conclusions is this is moving so fast that
we've got to have a more nimble system. This isn't a traditional
setting where you can just set up a few standards or rules,
regulations, and then again, just sit on our laurels. We have
to constantly update all the time does
it have to be to become more serious shutting down New York
are there are ways this is war? These are many ways
you hear what she's saying leading the witness leading the
witness, but we need something serious, serious, he's saying it
right there. It's
very vulnerable as as we've become more hugely vulnerable,
we've started
were hugely vulnerable, John. Critical. were hugely
vulnerable, hugely, hugely,
in many ways. very vulnerable as as we've become more
hugely vulnerable. We've started with critical infrastructure,
that's an area where heavy involvement with those
industries, whether it's Wall Street in the financial sector,
utilities, our air traffic control system,
whoa, hold on a second, the air traffic control system. Really.
The I put it in the book right now, cybersecurity scare, air
traffic control system. We already had the UK e ad system.
I'm sorry, the the flight planning system breaker, we had
traffic confused for 45 minutes around the London area, put it
in the book this and putting it in the book, this is what is
going to get us Never have I heard air traffic control before
in this list. I've heard
I liked the way you're thinking here. Well, that increasingly is
dependent on the digital base that they're working off of this
called
the Digital base. They're working off of
digital base has anything to do skip logic, it's football.
But he's Mr. Tech, so shut up. He knows what he's talking about
Mr. Tech,
air traffic control system, all of that, increasingly is
dependent on the digital base that they're working off of. And
so a lot of concentration there first. And one of the challenges
is, is that a lot of this is private sector. The vast bulk of
it is private sector. Oh, it can't have that.
And remember, she is on the on this interview page. It says,
here's a little disclaimer, Kara is married to what's her name?
Megan, Megan Smith,
Denise. And Denise Smith, who was of course a performance
still holds Google shares, I presume there's a lot a lot of
Google in this in this interview. And
government has to be able to not only work with each individual
company, we've got to be able to pull those companies together.
So they're working together
did what? The companies have to work together together. So
they're working together
violation of everything that means anything, capitalistic
society, thank you. I
mean, we've got to be able to pull those companies together.
So they're working together more effectively. And one of the
things that makes this
illusion it's against the law.
Yeah, but you could collude on a lot of things that way. Like how
we store private information and how we sell it or bundle it. I
mean, there's a lot of things wrong with that idea.
One of the things that makes this such a challenging problem
is all you need is one weak link.
Listen to this. This is great. So if you have this is the
companies have to work together. because if you have one weak
link,
you're gonna have nine companies. Defense, right? Not
you're gonna have nine companies that have great protocols,
authentication systems, you name it, you have one that's not
doing a good job. And that penetrates the entire system,
right? No, that's not true. You have one bank that has weak
security doesn't doesn't mean that all banks are then
penetrated. He's just scaring people. Let's
move on second. Let's stop for a second. And let's do reanalyze.
One little factoid, which is the liability thing, which is one of
the deals are trying to promote this is the number one part of
the whole Yeah, liability. You don't have to worry. And what
the let's think a little bigger than what it sounds like.
They're they're protecting these companies from I think they're
protecting them from antitrust allegations. So now you can feel
the collusion because oh, we've got to work together on this.
And while we're at it, let's fix
prices and let's fix the employee salaries.
Yeah, that's fixed salaries, which is what they've been
busted for before. But that because now we're just we're
doing it in the name of cybersecurity. So we have
liability. Protection. This is bullcrap. Yeah,
well, it's happening fast and furious, my friends. Now just a
nice little meme that he throws in there about about our data
collection. What? What verb could the president possibly use
about massive data collection? I think he chose a nice one is
true is and I've said this publicly. So I'm not saying
anything that that's classified in
any way. In other words, oops, I blew it somewhere. Here it
comes.
Our capacities to scoop up information became so great.
Scoop it up, John. It's another find Mr. Tech term, scoop up the
information within what a pooper scooper.
And traditionally, there haven't been restraints on our
intelligence community, scooping up information being outside our
borders,
scooping thing, it kind of demeans the whole idea, which is
the point I guess
it's like ice cream parlor.
And non US persons.
I'll take two scoops of metadata, please. And could you
sprinkle some, some content on top.
And so what ended up happening was is that in places like
Germany, this had a huge impact, not just on government to
government relations, but suddenly all the Silicon Valley
companies that are doing business there, find themselves
challenged, in some cases, not completely sincerely, because
some of those countries have their own companies who want to
displace ours.
Now that I thought was very interesting, and I pulled out
this a longer quote, where the heart president says, the EU and
this would be nearly Summit, nearly summit cruces backyard,
who is the EU at issue still the Minister of Ireland now She's
gone. She's gone. Who's the new Minister of Ireland? Yeah,
somebody. But she was the one behind the big lawsuits, the
billion the multibillion dollar lawsuits against Microsoft and
Google. And Facebook before she left she got that started. So
here's the President just outright accusing the European
Union and doing it with pretty big balls.
In defense of Google and Facebook. Sometimes the European
response here is more commercially driven than
anything else. As I said, there are some countries like Germany,
given its history with the Stasi that are very sensitive to these
issues.
Throwing a little Nazi shit there on the German,
East German, that's a Russian, you idiot. But
we might as well give that to Germany anyway. Hey, Germany.
Take this, Staci. That is That is quite a gaffe. I feel
I was that was ridiculous.
But sometimes their vendors, their service providers, who
can't compete with ours are essentially trying to set up
some roadblocks for our companies to operate
effectively. There's we have owned the internet.
I want to say something stopping right here to say something. I'm
actually an agreement. I've always been in agreement with
this theory, that much of the crap going on in Europe is
because they're trying to
protect protection measures. Yeah.
Yeah. But it's fine with it. I don't I don't mind this, even
though I'm not quite sure what he's getting at here.
But he's saying we own the internet.
I don't think he should be saying this. No,
I don't think he should be saying that in this way. Not in
this forum with the close ties to Google, specifically through
lesbian sex. I mean, there's a lot of issues here with this.
With this particular these types of
companies have created it expanded it we they can compete
and oftentimes what is portrayed as high minded positions on
issues sometimes it's just designed to carve out socialism,
commercial interests.
Never heard this theory before. Interestingly, that's very
interesting. Now that now there's never thought of such a
thing. Now the mother lode. The mother lode, of course, is
ultimately and this is what Comey has been the director of
the FBI has been going on and on about, of course, he's former
HSBC, and he has a lot of history to cover up and stuff to
examine and learn. And it's about encryption and encryption.
You will hear this President talk about he will speak of
strong encryption, which has nothing to do with the back door
and encryption. And his Swisher actually tries to drag it out of
him tries to say that he's flip flopped, he'll have none of
that. And he is going to now uh, put before the American public
at least, the obvious choice we will have to make and we're
going to have to have John here it is a conversation about this.
We shouldn't have a national conversation, you have encrypted
email, shouldn't everybody have encrypted email or have their
protections? Everybody
should? I'm a strong believer in strong encryption, that
the Triple D s, that doesn't mean make any difference
to here is that partly in response to consumer demand,
partly in response to legitimate concerns about consumer privacy?
The technologies may be built to a point where when the
government goes to get the information, the company says,
Sorry, we just can't pull it. It's it's so sealed and tight
that even though government has a legitimate request,
technologically, we cannot do it. What they're doing wrong.
Now, do you? Do you really think, John, that that NSA
cannot break someone's PGP key with within a reasonable amount
of time?
I think that's what they'd like us to believe.
Well, the President certainly is not. Not saying this. But as
he's saying, I mean, know what he's saying. He's saying that
now he's saying that it's no good we if there's
no go, we can Yeah, we can't do that. Yeah. That's exactly what
you'd want to do in a situation where you want everyone
believing that something safe when it's not. Yeah. Oh, here we
go.
It's no, I think I think they are properly responding to a
market demand. All of us are really concerned about making
sure what are you going to do? We all want to know that if
we're using a smartphone for transactions, sending messages,
having private conversations, that we don't have a bunch of
people compromising? That process a bunch of people. And
so encryption, there's no scenario in which we don't want
really strong encryption. He
This is His Word, really strong encryption. This is this is the
trick to make you think you're getting something great. But a
backdoor makes all encryption zero strong.
The narrow question is going to be where there is a situation in
which we're trying to get a specific case of a possible
national security threat, is there a way of accessing it? If
it turns out it's not then we're really going to have to have a
public debate? And I think some in Silicon Valley would make the
argument which is a fair argument and I get that the
harms done by having any kind of compromised encryption are far
greater that's then that's an argument you used to make. You
won't have made no i Something changed. I still make it I just
changed the words a little it's just that I am sympathetic to
law enforcement
because yours you are much stronger on so I don't think
the only concern
you want the interview is over.
Our law enforcement is expected to stop every plot.
Every attack here comes here's the here's the windup everybody,
any bomb on a plane bomb on a plane snakes on the plane, bitch
snakes on the plane, you want that stop, don't you?
The first time that attack takes place in which it turns out that
we had a lead and we couldn't follow up on it. The public's
going to demand answers. And so
you want to put it in the book. These guys are making it so
obvious.
This is a public conversation conversation. I lean probably
further in the direction of strong encryption than some do
inside of law enforcement. But I am sympathetic to law
enforcement because I know the kind of pressure they're under
to keep us safe. And and it's not it's not as black and white,
as it's sometimes portrayed. Now, in fairness to folks who
were in favor of airtight encryption.
We're looking at the scenario Did you Oh, these scripts are
old. This is this world war two scenario where we were
intercepting everything from the Germans and everything from the
Japanese. And we had to do stuff like what are we going to do
about this situation? Let it happen. Otherwise, they'll know
we crack the encryption which is what we're gonna be seeing here.
And that's what's gonna cause the public debate is going to be
why can't you guy? It's like, you know, what are we going to
do about this? Well, this one's not important enough, it's only
going to kill 100 people. Not a big deal. We don't want them to
know that we're net net. We got worried about the big one. So
let's don't let them know we've cracked. So in other words, what
I'm hearing here if I'm listening at a, you know, kind
of a metal level, I'm hearing that they've cracked all
encryption. I wouldn't. I don't know
if GPG. Good new private. New canoe, canoe, canoe canoe? I
have a feeling that may be okay. That's what I use. That's what I
use. But I doubt it.
I'm pretty sure that the only one that I can't remember the
name of this encryption program, but the early days of it was
true crypt I think is the new one. It's then was taken off the
previous day. I think I'll drive crypt or sound devil came before
the latest stuff. And it had on it and encryption program that
was the Swiss banks and Christian encryption program. It
was used by the Swiss banks, I can't remember the name of it,
it was something that a funny name, like smooch or something
like that. And everybody was told not to use it? No, no, you
should know you should use I think
some Why think something different is being done here.
It's really about the, the math, the so it's not so much the end
encryption itself. But if you want to crack something and you
know, the elliptic curve, you can then apply math with some
horsepower. And then you can figure out what I think it's
really the formulas that I think is where it's the basis of
encryption, not not the protocol itself, or that's probably hard.
But you have to actually get into the whatever calculus, the
calculus, there you go, whatever calculus is used to create the
encryption. I think that that that basic premise, that's
probably where it where it's already compromised, I think.
But who am I? I'm a district and we
have a lot of podcaster pocket. Absolutely. A lot of encryption
guys come on, and I'm sure a few of them, which would
everyone want. There'll be a million emails about how stupid
I am. Believe me. That's,
that's, that's a given. But that's beside the point.
But let me finish them the last
want to be protected from terrorists? And so
as he's saying, this was actually pretty funny. He's
saying, hey, privacy advocates, folks who
were in favor of airtight encryption also want to be
protected from terrorists. And
it's like, hey, you know? Yeah, it's one is the worst thing you
can say. It's like saying, Well, you know, you want to have, you
know, you want gun rights to be adhere to the Second Amendment.
But, you know, you might get shot in the head. Yeah, mind.
So true. So true. It's true. There are times where, folks,
folks who see this through a civil liberties or privacy lens,
reject that there's any trade offs involved. And in fact,
there are
civil liberties or privacy lens, it's a lens. Now, your
constitutional rights are a lens.
And you've got to own the fact that own it may be we want to
value privacy and civil liberty, far more than we do. The safety
issue,
putting his budget where she writing his material, yes, he's
finishing his sentences safe that she throws it in,
she is actually rolling the prompter. She has the footswitch
herself. She must now along with this comes the most recent
episode of persons of interest,
presents emails and financials are clean, no evidence that she
knew the election was fixed. Perhaps even she was unaware.
Either way, she's working for the wrong side. We have to find
something. You tried the NSA. We can't hack down but we can go to
the NSA sources, the backdoors. I'll do Google, you take Yahoo.
They constantly have these.
I love this show you take I'll take Google you do Yahoo
backdoors. My favorite line, which is about two seasons ago
where the guy says well, we can get the information from
Facebook. And then he Finch says that he Oh yeah, no, they said
we can get anything we want from Facebook, all the information
from it. It's like It's like dossiers online. He says we
would put up a system like this is Oh, why I did. I invented it
so it makes everybody's life easier. Exactly.
Exactly. Then I just have one more bit here. I thought it was
kind of interesting short clip. This is what we need to do in
order to keep our competitive edge against all of the you
know, the other massive world powers Regina, and again, it's
just dim. What is the word I'm looking for? Talking down the
building demeaning, belittling the art and I will call it an
art of writing saw Software. It's an art it to me it's a it's
a it's like writing. It's like writing a novel is like writing
poetry like
painting. But yes.
It's words, you know, and there's stringent ways but you
can approach any problem from a million different directions.
Even though we've got this strong industry, we're losing on
lots of ground.
First of all, we're not, we're not losing it rapidly. But what
is true is is that
our edge, our AR, yeah, that's good. Well, she knows she's Kara
Swisher. And I like I like this comeback. What do you say the
strong industry, we're losing lots of ground.
First of all, we're not, we're not losing it rapidly. But what
is true?
What is true this is that's a good way of talking. But what is
true is is
that our lead will erode if we don't make some good choices
now. Now, what should we do? STEM education, huge priority,
homegrown, we've got to have our kids home math and science. And
it can't just be a handful of kids. It's got to be everybody,
everybody, everybody's got to learn how to code. Everybody's
got to
learn how to code early.
Gotta learn how to code early. Why? Well, first
of all, code. This is crap way of describing a modern art form.
Everyone's got to learn how to code and one has to learn how to
paint. Okay, well use your words. Everyone's got to learn
how to paint at
an early age, everybody. Nobody wants to learn how to code
except people who want everybody
to be a handful of kids. It's got to be everybody. Everybody's
got to learn how to code early. Everybody's got you.
Do you encourage your daughters to come? No, I
haven't. I've said, well, not as much as I would probably like,
how much is enough? Mr. President? How much would you
like your daughters to code? You want them to show you like 20
lines before dinner? Or what is your measurement? They
got started a little bit late part of what you want to do is
introduce this with the ABCs. And the colors.
With ABC. Yes,
this color is this Billy? Oh, it's green, you idiot.
And, and particularly focusing on girls participation. Yeah,
math, science, technology early is important.
Right, we want girls coding. It'll be the sweatshop of the
future.
That's a sweatshop job.
That's what he's just turned it into? Yeah. Unbelievably
disgusting. I mean, one of the report came out today that, and
this is from the verge. And you know, I think they're completely
compromised. And a bunch of dicks, who have venture capital
money in wait until it runs out. Banks, and this is the report
banks in Russia, Japan, the US and Europe have fallen victim to
a massive sophisticated malware hack, allowing the perpetrators
to steal hundreds of millions of dollars since 2013. And this
comes to us from Kaspersky Labs, a report in The New York Times.
I you know, really, this is so coincidental that it comes out
right now, this news. i It's I'm glad we're doing all this cyber
summit stuff, because we're right on time. What a
coincidence. And then with the anthem hack, I got an email from
one of our knights. I know someone who used to work at Blue
Shield, he says the company is very out of date runs on
extremely old software and the guys in charge of system
security, spend most of their time trolling on LinkedIn for
girls who work at the company to ask them out for coffee.
Sounds right sounds
right to me. Just sis admins going because of course they
have no budget. No, no. What
do they mean by old and antiquated old? What I mean, I
don't know ball stuff. And that you would I don't know. I wish
is that there's no Kolb? I don't
know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't
know. I have no idea. I think most of those. The databases may
be running on mainframe, but the access is all going to be
through Windows machines. Ultimately, I think if I were if
I would just guess
x dot 25.
That was good allowed. That was? Yeah, no, I remember. Remember x
dot. Someone else said, How come we don't bring back Novell
networks? Yeah, there's a reason ever tried to configure a Novell
token ring?
No, you'd rather it was IBM as a token ring. Novell had a
different
topography. What was it? What was it was it was their thing?
I don't know is effective, though. Anyway, we're not the
anyway. Yes.
You're right. So this is disturbing. And indeed, it's
like, where's the voice of sanity? Except here maybe?
Well, and the only maybe we are in the voice of Sam. But let's
go on and let's make sure that we you know, the report that we
got off of our local news and I'm sure most of local news
around the country about the President get If we gotta get
industry to work with the government, which is also called
corporatism or fascism, but that's
it is a part of the fascist the fascism definition. Yes,
yes. And we'll let that slide because it's so important
because these terrorists are out that kill us. They will kill
What
do you want? What do you want some security? Or do you want
your privacy? I mean, let's have a national conversation.
So let's follow that story up with another story to kind of,
let's bring it bring it home. Let's bring it home with the
little son. Another story called The cyber secure, smart home
example of the threat posed by cyber crooks, new at six are
taken care discovered, it doesn't take much for hackers to
get into even the smartest of hackers.
The next time we go to war in some far off place. With just a
click the fight could come home.
I bring down the electrical grid in America, bring down planes
everything is hey, I just heard the planes Yes. Very nice. Bring
down the electrical grid in America. Could I bring down
plans? The whole electrical grid grid really what the whole grid
will come down? But yeah, with a click of a click of a mouse. I
think everything is moving online today. How's temperature
are thermostats or refrigerators? Everything is
connected to an
expanding number of services, objects and appliances are
connected to the internet that makes them ripe for hacking. Oh,
no, no, I just asked. 60 minutes lesley stahl when a hacker took
over her car, not only that,
cheaper to get cyber weapons, but really that was that was the
demo of the car. This is we've seen this 20 million times. Oh,
yeah. Yeah, it shows you but the way she just said it was oh,
just ask Lesley when when Yeah, hackers took over her cars.
Well, much cheaper to get cyber weapons than the build plutonium
enrichment
plants. Synack, a security firm in Redwood City tested 16 smart
home products from cameras to thermostats. It took only 20
minutes to break into all but one it turns out the security
cameras were the least secure there really
hasn't been a good way for us to assess the integrity of these
devices and make sure that they truly are secure and not opening
up holes in our networks and our homes.
Yeah, well make no mistake this Amazon thing I've got here is
recording everything I do and then eventually the scope. Okay,
we heard you say this you're affiliated with al Qaeda. Yeah,
what's
gonna happen to ya this is how the show and
Amazon Echo and as
you see it, you're you're you are from the future. Yes. Now
let's go over when the couple of things about that last report
how many people actually accept some Silicon Valley screwballs
and some guys who have more money than brains have their
houses hooked to the internet?
Oh, this is you mean with like webcams and security cams and
the Nest thermostat? Yeah a lot of people I don't I don't buy
camera
outside that I don't care if anybody looks at it because it
would just be more witnesses to somebody coming to rob me but
it's that's all I've got the rest of it the only internet
stuff is my computer's which are you know hooked to the internet.
Yes, but I don't know who has it guy says refrigerator again.
Yeah, I'm just gonna whenever refrigerator wants to pay.
Here's the problem I have. Who wants to pay the extra money for
a refrigerator hooked to the internet when all it's going to
do is serve you ads on? No. More mayonnaise.
Here's a deal. No, that's not true. This is going to know when
you're out of milk and it will order it for you.
Yeah, they'll give you a coupon
It is so sad. I have something else you wouldn't. That's kind
of skipping ahead. Oh yeah, I know where it is. I've been
promising some singularity stuff. We'll do that later. It's
so sad that you know I hooked up once to Tinder with my Facebook
profile. I've been I'm now a member of I think seven or eight
different get laid search for your perfect partner things and
really this is all they can they all they can figure it out to
market to me is more dating shit. Yeah,
if you're buying this dating service, you might know is ruled
by all the dating servers. In fact, there's quite a few
specific ones. I have a clip here. Oh, now that you bring it
up dating firms specific YouTube specific this is showing some of
the different kinds of dating firms but then they go it's this
is a special report that was done on PBS. Oh actually play
this clip. This is the online dating Perfect. Okay, good for
you. You'll
first I got to play a jingle Mr. Tech that's our audience making
the jingles while you wait as well. eHarmony is big. But niche
sites are trending for Jews, Christians, farmers, sea
captains mimes the gluten free marry the incarcerated, the
unhappily married. And of course, accompanied by Mozart,
welcome to personales.com. As a fellow cat owner, I know how.
But no matter how finicky you are better off with more than
less,
per se, there was personales pu R R. And it's all cash. But I
think he rattled off and showed those websites I didn't know
there was one from for my for my games.
That either That's hilarious. But is that really sad? All they
can sell me? Is that all they can do?
Yeah, you'd get ads for all these other sites.
How are how pathetic is that? It's pathetic. This is the
whole thing is the big data scam is a huge scam. And now that
there's things out there like this, this product I use, which
is called
squirrel mail.
No, not. Squirrel mail is great. No, it's the thing that clicks
on everything in the background. So it can flow. It
confuses everything. Yeah,
yeah, it's great. If you turn off the systems, and you get ads
for like, it's just just it's no rhyme or reason. It's great
jewelry. And as
good as very good. Please, anyone play the other one?
Well, yeah. Now here's the thing. This, because there's a
term that came in here, and I wanted to definitely keep an eye
on so I could, because I tried to remember the term and I
couldn't. And the term is firm, specific human capital. I've
never heard that before. But I know exactly what it means.
Which is on a hearing it and I think it's an interesting, it's
an economic term from the world of economics. It means that if
you're working for a company for a long time, you you may be a
vice president of something that you use over time, you get a lot
of firms specific value because you work and if you quit to go
someplace else, useless you can get on you know, it's a, you
might as well start as a as a as the male guy. But whatever the
case, he talks about, this is about dating, being a
potentially addictive with using online dating sites, because you
get so my Oh, this, this girl is beautiful, and she's smart. But
look at this one. She's beautiful, and she's smarter.
And you and you will never do what he suggests, which was also
a suggestion in an old 30 Rock, which was you should if you're
really interested in getting down to business and starting a
family you have to settle and nobody wants to hear settled.
But this is a very funny report and discusses this a little bit
because you think you're gonna hit the jackpot eventually.
Rutter doesn't deny it. And whether you're gay or straight,
we're constantly showing you people there might be someone
better looking or who has a cooler profile or whatever it is
just right around the corner always
to pull a lawyer though a surfeit of choice is just
another search cost and for which economists have a fairly
simple solution. What you
need to do is you need to settle to say I have somebody who's
gonna hate it when we say that, but it's the way it's the way a
rational economist would think about it.
But wait a minute, after my first date with my now wife, I
knew she was the one for me. Oh, my soulmate two years. I'm never
I'm never fallen for that bullcrap. But
by the way, this is, he never says it. But this this is
Valentine's gift to his wife. Oh, man.
Yeah, well, for 30 years, the perfect one for you does not
exist. But there's a very important idea in labor
economics called firm, specific human capital. And that is as
you work at a company for a longer time, you have certain
skills that are valuable at that company and not elsewhere. Well,
you've built up something we'll call marriage specific human
capital. you've developed your life around your wife, such that
she probably is the best match for you at this point.
I gotta tell you some divorce is the best thing ever happened to
me?
Yeah, there's a lot of people that that take the divorce is
great. Lying to me,
it's to me, it's to me. I'm sorry. It's to me, it's, it's
great for me, because I've know it's
bad for a lot of people. Yeah. But there were mixed up in the
wrong relationships to begin with and firm specific wasn't,
was it wasn't playing out. Anyway, the point was, is that
these these online dating sites would you brought up in the
topic? Or are you know, just just an endless kind of a
treadmill of potential people to date?
Yeah, it's very, it's very, very
slick, but they didn't mention Tinder. That's the gay one right
now.
Grindr is right. You're
all you're I thought you
and I tried out hinge. Hinge hinge. Now hinge is interesting.
Another one you have to log me. I'm the Canarian man. I'm
telling I'm doing this. So the also have to sign in with
Facebook
so if you quit it do you become unhinged ha
ha. Who knows? But what's cool there as you see someone and
then it has underneath people who they know who are your
friends on Facebook. That's creepy.
Oh, that's totally creepy job like, well,
I don't want to swipe right on her because you know Fritz knows
or that would suck if he knew I was on hinge every day if I'm on
hinge and a guy's
weird in bed
did have a last last story. I forget I can't even I recognize
I recognize someone from Tinder the other day in the store. Oh,
really? What? Yes. How
much time are you spending on Tinder? No,
this is this is a before I left in New York. This is I haven't
looked at it anymore. But I forgot to tell the story. And
there's this place called diesel foods which is I think she was a
former bodybuilder or something and she set up this healthy food
and it's it's all fresh made, etc. And as one store in Austin,
and I like to pick up some turkey lasagna and you throw it
in the microwave in your oven is good to go. And she's showing me
that I saw you on Tinder it was out before I before I meant it.
He's like he was like I didn't realize Yeah. So I said well,
here's my number you know, case that Tinder didn't work out for
you. Ah, well guess what? What I should never called.
Course nine. You're a creep. Creep. Okay, so I have a
problem. I have to report so you don't start moving the show
along too quickly.
Oh, but you have a problem with the spreadsheet?
No, I have a problem. My keyboard batteries went dead.
Oh, okay. Well, I have to go grab a keyboard from the other
side of the room. Okay, do you like it before I can get to my
mail. Okay, it's magic. So why don't you regale the I shall I
will write all tale
I instead of a tail I shall go ahead go now. I'm just going to
be filling up time and I shall play some productions that had
been sent in to the no agenda show.
You got to do Eric
has a secret folder. And he wants to walk away the guns he
always likes to play the racecar whenever he is able to it'll be
time for come into ie when the rock is all the sleeves
considered him is not at all inappropriate. Back to
Pennsylvania
as right I was living it up at the hotel Pennsylvania you back
and you plugged in you're done you're good to go plug in but
this driver problem yeah, yeah, driver problem. There you go.
It's not a Mac dude. Do you want to reboot and call me back? I
can. No no,
I don't want to reboot. No, actually I would I could do
which I think is this proper thing to do is we should stop
tape.
Stop. Stop tape. All right. Stop. Everybody. All right,
steepest top State's office didn't
get two batteries.
Does your computer not warn you that batteries are on their way
out?
Actually it did and unless you paid no attention to how
you ignored it. Okay, I did is tape a stop tape is stopped.
I will go right back. Sorry. No, it's okay. First. Yeah, me I'm
good to go.
Oh, okay. So while we're at that, I'd like to thank you for
your courage and say in the morning to you John C cell the
vorak
and in the morning to you Adam curry and also in the morning
all ships at sea boots on the ground feed their subs in the
water wondering whether the recording is actually going and
all the days and nights out.
And in the morning to everyone there in the chat room. No
agenda stream.com Good to see y'all logged in good to go and
in the morning to our artists pay pay pa ye came in with the
album mark for Episode Six, nine or five. Again, it was not easy.
But the pay has some nice original stuff. It was it was
nice. This was the this was the democratie eight episode and we
use the enduring with an expiration date open. Yes, I was
good like that a lot. No agenda. Our generator.com is where you
can find all of the submissions and you can this art is great
for all kinds of things also for newsletters where we use it as
well.
We do have a few people to thank for his show 6917698
Swaziland off man, it's 69696 And are we doing the doing the
Valentine's list as well today?
Well, the Valentines list and of course we have double credits,
they got their mention on the first time and then they get to
the second credit today. Good. And that will be on the list of
IB we could rattle off the names. Okay, let's let's be
listed and they will be credited for a second producer ship
today. Good. And as the number of people we have that list and
I also pulled some other additional names off of I had to
go parse certain donations to find
out because they had something like 314
plus 33 for a boarding pass and I asked to have a $5 call out
and 6969 and he's like, you know, comes out to some some
amount of money.
If that guy shows up at your door, man, you'll know him
immediately with that voice.
He's from Chicago. Okay. It's the slave $1,000 Wow. Okay, so
that
saved us that yes, actually, that's fantastic. Thank you.
We weren't expecting a lot today. Last show Adam seem to be
concerned about the zombification of the masses.
There's also the Brian Williams story. I think Adam is right. It
is human nature as much as John would not like to admit it is
human nature to make shit up. Present company excluded Of
course. Of course. I think the process of zombification
requires some more attention. The underlying problem of
John is I just want to say just so you know, there's something
very strange my control surface is freaking out I don't know
why. Okay, well, let me keep reading you keep suggesting you
know, if I have to cut out then then you know, the underlying
problem is most of us are meek psycho fans. Again, present
company excluded of course stories like the one of Reggie
Love seems to reinforce the narrative. Right the meek shall
inherit the planet this is as much true as the temporary
embarrassed and billionaires
is this scripture. The meek shall inherit inherit the
planet. Where's this coming from? I've heard this before the
meek shall inherit the earth is the Scripture. Some of the
stories being peddled by the influences are simply mind
boggling. And yet the sheep flock, flock in shears and
upvotes them all the time. Stockholm Syndrome, probably
Yeah. It's real. It's real, right? I hereby propose a new
segment. Another story from social media may be part of the
tech by the way, this guy typed as printed this out in six point
type nice, maybe the part of the tech seven where John looks at a
random story and his LinkedIn account, and deconstructs the
story with the comments or with with the comments. This should
be fun and provide much needed relief for the oppressed public.
Another topic related to brainwashing of the masses is
the behavioral interview questions this is particularly
sad as many of these questions are totally inappropriate in a
work environment yet somehow they're there okay. During the
interviews that process masses at large at large do not object
as they need the jobs. The most mofos wants to remain anonymous
do not grant me the instant night title. Upon receiving this
donation I would like to be nominated as the instant slave
much closer to the reality and does not violate the
constitution. Excellent. And then he said what happened to
the deconstruction of the singularity?
I'm going to I don't deny every promise of deconstruction or
that I had some fun stuff to talk about. I did, right people
like where's the takedown of singularity?
I guess I was under the same impression. Hey, we're gonna
take it down.
We you and I are gonna take it down. It's very it's very
simple. Very simple.
Yeah, I would do that when you feel like it not okay, right
after the segment. Dame Catherine sir Greg is simunovic
in West Chicago, Illinois. Simonich No, no. Sim Munich. No,
hear from her. Oh, okay. Well, her last name is pronounced like
Munich Germany was sigh in front I was wrong. Sorry not to have
donated in a while. She says Happy 2014 is over sir Greg and
I are listening live to show 694 So they're live they're
listening now. That was to sit down. And finally from me hung
up finally got off my butt to donate before sitting down to do
my taxes just in case they take the rest of the money. Nothing
we need to say today. Just accept this donation for Show
696696 Show member
Joe finally Nice. Haven't had those one of those in a while.
Great. Thanks. Hey, go
on with the Constitution karma. Okay.
Welcome with the Constitution and oh my It's a short one yet
we want the short one
you've got karma. Nice, Kathy. And so Greg, thank you. Thank
you. Thank you.
Incognito came in with 250 bucks from Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania
in Cagni grow. Adam given that your personal life is only askew
and not quite a shambles I'll take this time to let you know
what an asshole and how piss poor you're Ferguson coverage
wise. Even if your inherent bias is merely a lame code for your
very Tourette Syndrome, tics and drug related developmental
delay, it's dead wrong and propagates I don't know what
he's talking about. It's dead wrong and propagates the worst
of Reddit racialized formulas value for value compels me and
short of that. Kiss my ass and by the way, you can send anyone
who wants to say kiss just say that and send it to him 50 bucks
we're all gasps Yeah,
bring it down. I'll kiss your ass no problem
ACD Keep up the good work bastard All right, I don't know
what he's talking about.
I don't know apparently
the whole thing as a kind of a media circus. Yeah, with Al
Sharpton there and it was it gives it gives like, well, this
is what we call once part of the town burned down and let me just
finish one part of the town burned down there's an oil
pipeline nearby and we went in and looked a little further into
it and then the killing of this kid that seems to be under all
kinds of weird circumstances. The left as it says takes one
side the right takes another we take no sides on this. And
you're in Pennsylvania in Cogn Negro I would say there
I've learned from a year of therapy that he is projecting
Yeah, he probably is projecting I think a lot of people were
projecting
most people project I get these emails but we got one the other
day which you didn't I responded guys like your the war is real.
You're wrong. All these brave men and women are fighting to
keep us safe. You're an asshole. Okay, then you can write back if
you go back and forth eventually like Oh man, I'm sorry. I was
drunk my dog died my wife left me I was in a bad mood then the
I think I'm gonna go email Adam because he's so funny.
Yeah, well yeah, we do get a lot of we had some of the guys that
ever don't. He says you guys are just Obama bashers? I should
explain the newsletter was a BART you know, it was a victim
of a hoax. Those pictures of Obama with the selfie camera. Of
course, were part of an ad that was running on Buzzfeed. The
President does ads, but it's beside the point
native ads I might add. Native. Yes. The native ad. Yeah.
And meanwhile, this guy thinks we're just Obama but we wouldn't
we just show goes back to Bush. Yeah, back Bush just as much and
we don't like the Democrat candidates. We don't like the
Republican candidates.
We don't even know we don't even like each other. What are you
talking about? Are you
literally dependent because a guy says you have an agenda. You
got an agenda? Well, this guy's got an agenda of never donating
that's what I could figure out. Anyway. Onward with
consideration.
Thank you incognito drive by now that we appreciate it. Bring
your black as over you know, because
Jeffrey Maxwell Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania 23456. No
note of any importance. Sure. Stewart rushing in Corvallis,
Oregon 21433. Now let's see if he's gonna have to look to see
if he has an email because it seems to me that he would have a
wife or somebody that he wants to send the Valentine and call
out for.
This is Sir Stuart.
Yeah, sir. Stuart, do
you have anything from Outlook? Oh, look. You would think that
this would be pre produced. I mean, I'm not in charge of this.
But
I Yeah, you know, it's easier said than done. No, I don't see.
I don't see anything. Steward rushing. There you go. Gents.
ITM might be of a online checking account ledger claims
my latest check. 214332 no agenda is being processed today.
Hopefully John will find it elsewhere. Ito po box 339. Next
time he empties it. Indeed. Most of my previous donations were
buzz donations not high enough blood alcohol content for DUI,
which were accompanied by an email sent the same day the
check was written but typically almost a week prior to the
donation being mentioned on the show. I decided to try something
different. At this time I'm sending the email the day that
check is expected to arrive. Hopefully this will ensure that
clips and karma requests being combined with the donation
mentioned. Yeah, I know it's a really good book of paper checks
for future donations. I'll probably do that after you get
my ring. Night job. Nuclear quality assurance auditor Huh?
Huh? Nice. We'll have me traveling to Europe several
times this year and it looks like the one of one of the
Better flight alternatives who will be to fly through
Amsterdam? That's
right. Send me an email. I will give you the wireless details.
I plan to spend a day or two of personal time for layovers in
various cities along the way. Any recommendations for fun ways
to spend my time well in Amsterdam would be greatly
appreciated. No, you get you wouldn't know it What day is he
going to do mention that? No, it doesn't have the exact hit me up
with an email
against Adam at Credo calm. As for the length of the show three
hours is not too much and two hours is not enough. That's why
we hit try to hit 252 I'm two hours and 30 minutes. You guys
provide much needed respite, real speed respite much needed
respite from the insanity of the mainstream media and the
brainwashing effects it has on family, friends and co workers.
I really do not need to start handing out CDs of the show.
Yeah, please donate my VD Valentine's Day karma to Adam in
hopes that it aids his interactions with the ladies
from the spin class. Which I have several favorite
combinations none seem appropriate for VD. So please
have Adam pick out a few that will raise his morale later
on. My morale is already quite high but happy to do it. I've
got information man. New shit has come to light. You've got
karma. I'm good with that.
Onward. Let's see where were we? Oh yes, Sir Patrick COBOL in
Nashville, Tennessee.
Yeah with his Ducati.
Ducati is a Ducati. Yeah,
I think the 850 is insane, insane motorcycle.
Sir Patrick Kolb. I wanted to wish my beautiful wife and best
friend Sarah i Happy Valentine's Day Sara. I have almost a
moments to Baronet. It will make it to bear in this year. Yay.
Excellent. Thank you. And he has an LG why. LG why for you?
Sarah Walker into pair Dupit pair. Wisconsin 214. As Ciara
Walker. Well, I hate to be the one to do this. But I want to
look her up. If she did send a note in or he know it's a what
do you think that is? I don't look up Sierra. We get Sierra
Walker.
So I'm hearing that fan again. You can
Yeah, you know, I got to do some about moving to my first time
donating via Pay Pal for the Valentine's deal but didn't see
a place for comments would like to dedicate my donation to my
wonderful husband, Sir Christopher. Thanks, Sierra.
Nice. That's very sweet wife of Sir Christopher supersweet.
Yeah. All right. Back to the spreadsheet. Onward to Sierra
Walker, Mike Nichols to underdogs and he'll be the
Associate Executive Producer along with the Valentine's Day
favorite almost everybody now $200 For Charity here please use
Mike not Howard. First time soon I heard about it
John. What kind of a whole are you?
I never use Howard. He says use Mike Mike Nichols first time I
heard about Adam coming to New York for a meet up and didn't
feel right about attending without becoming a donor or
whatever it says your
cut off do you think that maybe he didn't want you to mention
that other name on the show?
No, he didn't say that. He says use Mike not Howard name comes
in through Pay Pal as Howard Nichols. There's a bunch of guys
that don't like the name that they use on Pay Pal. Okay, that
lady says Keep me anonymous. Well, that's
what I that's how I took it. No,
I didn't tell you that way. It's just good. I know because I've
seen this before I used it is that my name? I get the one
number that I'll use that name as I'm sound like a kid in
school. I think whenever it is lame Pay Pal. Not me.
Whenever this happens, we just got a
resource first name may have been been
a guy named Ben a dude named Ben. That's it. That's all I
needed. dude named Howard. Mikey. Amazing
work. No, jingles needed. Thank you. Meet Up didn't feel right
about becoming okay. So he's a producer. And so he would go to
the meetup. But it's too late. Adam left New York.
Yeah, I'm sorry, that just didn't work out.
I do. That's our group. And we have a number of other people
who will add to the list of producers and Associate
Executive producers for show 69696 which accounts for all the
Valentine's Day call outs we did in advance of Valentine's how
many I looked at this we had let me see if you find them was a
shorter list than I thought.
Well, there's a bunch of them that are, you know, off. And I
have but I wrote them down on a sheet of paper. So we'll go
through them at the end so they all get put on the list and get
their double producers ship credit. So everybody
who came in today as an Associate Executive Producer, or
as an executive producer, these credits are real, they it's
real. It really is. And you can put them anywhere LinkedIn. I
hear that when you're trolling for girls to take them out for
coffee and they They see you trolling them with your profile.
Like, wow, he's an executive producer. Maybe he's looking for
an unknown. Just a thought. And of course, we will have another
donation segment thanking everybody else coming up in just
just a little bit here on the.org/and. A obviously, we
always need everybody out there handing out CDs, if you can't
propagate the formula, our formula is this. We go out, we
get people in the mouth
shut all right. It says this campaign is over. I do want to
mention that we do have show 700 Coming up in three or four shows
and that will be anyone who wants to donate to 700 in
advance of show 700 We'll get another double producer ship.
And that will be in four weeks I get out for show or shows. Two
weeks always. Excellent. We have Pi Day coming up, which is 314.
Yeah. 3.1415. So there's lots of opportunities there.
Okay, so this singularity I really what happened is I came
across some interesting information about information.
Yes, new info. Information has come to light indeed,
I've got information, man, new shit has come to light.
Because I've always been interested in how this works,
where the money is flowing. And just really what the hell is it?
And you know, we know that there's a bunch of insane
people. If you've ever seen this Jason Silva guy, know, oh, man.
So he somehow
I look him up as you speak. Yeah. Well, you
can look at the book of knowledge. In fact, you could
consult. Jason Silva. And he's Venezuelan American. The his
wiki page says personality filmmaker and performance
philosopher, Phyllis philosopher, philosopher,
philosopher. He resides in Los Angeles and New York. He's
bicoastal, who has a degree in film. And there he is, he looks
like. Yeah, it looks like I don't know what it looks like
the Atlantic describes silver as a Timothy Leary of the viral
video age. So I pulled the clip from Mr. Timothy Leary of the
viral video age. I think Adderall would be what he's on,
I think. So this next singularity and powered by the
convergence of exponentially emerging technologies like
biotechnology, which is manipulating the information
processes of biology, nanotechnology, which is to
manipulate matter at the level of the atom and insert
computation into matter and AI, which is to create non
biological Intel intelligence that's not subject to the
limitation of the human brain. I'm hard now. Thank you. I
really needed that. Can you believe this guy?
What does it say that this is the kind of bullshit He's a
natural. He's like he might as well be selling shares and some
phony but well,
this is kind of what it is this singularity business will
continue urging forces, those three things are sending us
towards what seems to be another singularity, as big in scale as
the invention of language was, Wow, this is this is where we're
headed. John has begun scale as the invention of language. See,
information technology is progressing so rapidly, and an
apple strapping on its own complexity in an exponential
way. It's bootstrapping on its own complexity in an exponential
way. Isn't that Oh, no, no, no, don't do this. So please,
computation. In Argos again, today than there were in $60
million, or supercomputers that were half a building 40 years
ago, computation is going to be occurring on scales that can be
fit inside our bodies. I mean, we're talking about molecular
size computers writing software. I think I averted a crash here
with that my controller was crap. Again, it's this guy is
this guy, our minds
and bodies should get rid of that clip. It's Jinx confluence
of all these things coming together over the next 2530
years is going to be trillions of times more advanced, anything
that we can conjure up right now, and we have achieved. Wait
for it. It's almost over and then the last billion years thus
far. So when you look at what's coming, he says we should call
that a singularity because it's an appropriate metaphor to
describe what happens when you go through a black hole. And
it's like, we don't know what's gonna happen after that. We just
know things are gonna get really weird. Who says he said he said,
Yeah, Jason Silva says this.
Why would he speak about himself in third party? What was he
Well, these people are insane. Talking about Kerswell.
He's talking about he's talking about Kurzweil but he is he's
kind of weaseling in on all the action.
Well, let me stop you for a second. Okay, he's ready I'm
looking at a wiki page. Born 1982 is a Venezuelan American
television personality. But look tell what television has he done
that doesn't I don't think is their source they're on the
pretense of this. Okay, well if he's not dead well then he's a
filmmakers of filmmaker what films is you done?
Something for Current TV? I believe he did
it. That's a film. Yeah, film for Vimeo. Yeah, okay. Yeah,
yeah, exactly. He took a small cam and turned it on video and
filmed himself. This is this is just a hipster and people's also
performance philosopher. What is that? I think I think we're that
as well. No, we're performance artists is
true.
He earned a degree in film and philosophy. That's a strange
degree from the University of Miami and Coral Gables. He along
with Max Lu GAVI are produced and starred in a video
documenting performance piece titled textures of selfhood.
I think I was just playing this clip just to accentuate how
insane heIp these people are with total, like, hello, 9098
Yeah, we want our we want our internet bubble back. And this
is what it is. This is so what is all of a sudden, like I got
on Jason Calacanis is AngelList probably through Tinder, I have
no idea how I got on this. Wouldn't surprise me.
Hey, that guy, like any names we can guess, right?
So the way this works, besides, of course, Silicon Valley
companies or companies who believe that believe in this
kind of bull crap, and like that Yahoo guy with a crazy hair. Oh,
God, I forgot about him. They send executives to this thing,
Singularity University to learn about the future. And of course,
as you can tell, this guy Jason Silva clearly is from the
future, but what it really is they so you go to your class or
your do they have a It's not like a on an ongoing enduring
school that it's like a it's a conference basically.
Like, like a very, like a floating crap game.
Yeah. But what they do is they present all these interesting,
futuristic technologies, which they have invested in. And this
is the thing that I that I figured out. They literally
invest in everything they show. And then they have they have
this startup accelerator, this Singularity University startup
lab accelerator. So they're taking a piece and besides
investing, they're taking an actual piece of the action and
are just selling it, they probably sell you a spot into
their fund, I would think that some people are offered that. So
this is nothing more than taking people who are confused at best,
covering them with slathering them with with verbal diarrhea,
and then showing them a bunch of things that they can get better
from, I guess if they invest or eventually buy stock or
something like that. It's everything they show. Is they
invest in. This is not okay. Ah, yeah. Did you know this? No, I
don't know. I it's one of those things that I have you tried
to avoid it? I know. I know. But when you hear when you hear this
guy, and the hipster crap and people buy into this and curse
wirelessly, and Kurtzweil who has groupies is leading this,
please.
Yeah. Kerswell has groupies. I've had Kurtzweil on my silicon
spin show a couple of times and I ran into him a few other
times. And I've always thought that somewhere along the lines
he seems to have been it's it's like the guy if you've watched
the movie Office Space, of course and the guy gets
hypnotized and then the hypnotist dies. And then the guy
is kind of in a hypnotic state after that and just not paying
much attention to anything just doing what he did like in a
daze. Yeah, that's Kurzweil.
He's been hypnotized and hit them this has died. Perfect.

great eye all of these in the show notes. You gotta watch this
guy. He's high man. He's just high talking about this stuff.
don't know it's just so far removed from what we do know,
kind of reality based deconstructions of actual news
that takes place or doesn't take place, but we find out one way
or the other.
So let's talk about the happiest place on earth. Disneyland. No,
come on. We wasn't not last week. That once again the poll
came out. Denmark the happiest place on earth.
Oh, yeah. Now, a bunch of gun toting Western.
How's that working out Denmark? Are you still happy? Are you
still really really happy
to give a short version of Denmark that clip here which is
the short intro to people aren't following this. It's after a
person died from wounds following a shooting at a
synagogue in the Danish capitol. Earlier on Saturday, another
civilian was killed when gunmen attacked a cafe where a meeting
on free speech and blasphemy was taking place. It is pretty
relevant now with the latest. Anyway, they go on and on with
interviews of all kinds of people being a cartoonist
apparently who they were actually after and trying to
kill. Yes.
Lars Veals I have a clip from him. Oh, play and this is this
is all telling remember Denmark happiest place on earth. People
are happy, they got everything free health care, hookers,
everything's, it's a great place, we should be very, very,
very jealous,
I can see that the consequences of this will of course be that
people are getting more even more fear, because I have a
problem when I have lectures or when I try to have exhibitions
that most things are canceled because of fright. This, this
location here will of course make this even worse, and the
people will be very scared for everything that has to be that.
And I suppose that that was also been consequences in the
censorship. Because who dares to publish anything? After this
happening?
Yeah, that's exactly how I expect the happiest place on
earth to be people are more afraid. They're fearful. They're
self censoring.
They actually had an overnight curfew. They told people to stay
in their house, they couldn't get on the streets.
Does anyone else see that this is whether something's real or
set up or false flag or not, it doesn't matter. The media
immediately goes to terrorize people into thinking that oh,
we're screwed. We're next. They're coming for us. And this
is happening all over Europe. When we had the phony baloney
gun guy in the Netherlands with the walked into the TV studio.
It's you're going to see more and more of this but mainly the
highlighting of it by the media to keep people very afraid. And
all kinds of the EU cyber laws and the EU protection measures
and how they're going to be tracking people will be nothing.
But here's a nice little story called The EU goes fascist
again.
The United States Senate has confirmed Ashton Carter to be
the next Secretary of Defense. The vote today was 93 to five
with strong backing from both parties. Your applause
shields unanimously agreed today on far reaching measures to
fight terror. They met in Brussels and call for removing
Internet content that is deemed to promote terrorism or
extremism. EU nations will also share airline passenger data and
impose tougher border controls. It's a response to last month's
terror attacks in France. Wow.
Wow. Hello, Europe. How you feeling about that? Let's talk
to Gucci. Hello Thornton. Smith, sort of Thorning Schmidt
Schmidt. Obama's girlfriend the selfie girlfriend. Yes, she she
runs the show over there. Yeah. And who we thought actually she
would become a major player in the EU didn't happen. And she
actually did a little statement in English, which I thought was
very astute. She'd nailed it. And it was from a press
conference. She did 15 minutes all Danish Of course, and I can
wow, if I were a little more drunk, I probably could have
understood some of it. But then someone today can you give us a
statement in English and she nails it?
We feel certain now that is politically motivated attacks.
And thereby it is a terrorist attack. We take this situation
extremely seriously, seriously. We have we are at a higher high
alarm all over the country. And our main priority at this stage
is to is to catch the perpetrators and make sure that
we find them as soon as possible
so we can return once again to our deserve spot at the top of
the list of happy people. Yeah, so this of course is all apart.
It's really all a part of the same thing.
People are in Europe you think I think it was like 400 million.
It's up there. It's something like us, maybe a little bit
more.
This definitely more
Larsa say four. So 400 million. People and now we have the
incident in France, which resulted in a death of eight.
And then we had two people hurt in this. So we have a total of
10. Also
interesting the France thing which was picked up by,
certainly by Netanyahu. But by the conservative think tanks,
everyone's saying, Oh, this is anti semitism, anti semitism,
the administration, the Obama administration is saying it was
random, but it really had nothing to do with anti
semitism, which would explain I guess, partially why he wasn't
there when they had the march. And maybe it's because the only
way I can see the Obama administration saying this was
not anti semitism, while everyone else is saying it, is
because they're responsible. And it's a no no, man, we wanted to
cause some crap. But
well, that's my point is different. Okay, we have 400
million people 10 people killed, understand what we're dealing
with the chances of this happening to you, one in 40
million Powerball has got better odds than that. So one in 40
million with a do with the opportunity of one in 40 million
people being hurt or, or say killed by a terrorist. Based on
these two incidents. You're going to change all the laws and
crackdown on the whole Republic. Does this make any sense?
anybody except somebody who's trying to force fascism in the
underworld, so they can maybe push through this one world
order thing, and you have the same kind of odds here with the
crap that goes on the United States. Even if you dropped off,
if you take the 10 years, or 12 years or 15 years since 911? And
you count all the dead from all the terrorism that took place,
which is all that one event, the odds of it happening to any one
person with no protection is almost nil. People have no idea
anybody didn't people do not take enough math and statistics
should be required. But everybody it wouldn't be heavy
people panic. Welcome,
John. How can you fight? How can you fight against this when when
the telescreen is pumping nothing but this stuff through
the through the through everyone's brain is there's no
fighting that it's beautiful. At the end, this is so nuts. The
President is still looking for his big hearings in a Capitol
Hill big hearings about what are we going to go ahead with this
authorization for the use of military force on a broad scale,
that the President himself would hold this power to kill anybody
who just looks like they're related to terrorism anywhere.
And they brought out the shills man, wow. So whenever you see a
former or retired guy, you gotta go to the to the book of
knowledge and find out who he's working for. Lieutenant General
Flynn retired. He's all in he feels that it's absolutely
necessary to give the President this of this authorization, he
pretty much says but we really have to have boots on the
ground, we can have no no restrictions, but we need a we
need some kind of strategy. And he of course, is a member of the
Project for the New American Security, which is I think we've
looked at this outfit before. Because it's so close to what
was a P NAC. The project for New American Century which arguably
were the guys who caught well, then they they published the
paper saying, oh, we should have a new Pearl Harbor maybe fly
some jets into buildings. And so this guy Hold on a second.
Where's this this outfit? Project for New American
Security look at who's always in this thing, John? Project for a
New American Security, which is of course that's all we need.
Security will solve all of us to all of our problems. It's
actually the Center for New American Security. I'm sorry, I
missed quoted that. And in this you will see okay, about
scenesse. The screw the executive team. Let's go right
to the board of directors of General John Allen retired. Oh,
Dick Armitage.
Isn't John Allen the guy who is having the affair with the girl
that brought down Petraeus
could be I don't keep track of that. We got the RAND
Corporation in there. Armitage? Yeah, we got. Now interesting.
Tim Westergren from Pandora radio is on the board. What's he
doing in there?
We're I don't see him on here on the bobby on board, a board of
directors. But that's interesting, right. Yeah, I
wonder
sometimes could be the same investor sometimes it's
possible, but still, it's a strange board position. The
advisors is even more fun. Ford Motor Company. We got a daily
and family of course, Chicago. Gotta have those guys in there.
We got more rands more. What else do we have here? JP Morgan
Chase, of course, Boeing. Armitage again, for instance,
makes so much sense. In Harvard. So you know, this guy is
testifying with an agenda in in our house of representatives,
this is yeah. Okay. So just everyone needs you need to know
these things and look at it. They
shouldn't be testifying at all. They should be they should be
least somebody should bring this up. They should disclaim seems
to me, you would
think. So what I, what I do have,
when we think of visiting fellows, those are the guys who
come in to write reports.
I have a breakdown for anyone who's interested.
Oh, this is an interesting one. The 20 Why, why what what game?
Is it? The 20? Why why warfare initiative, I looked at what
your ties,
we were talking about the inherent right of self defense
of the United States. And where that came from, and the you
tried to help me understand the word inherent. Once again, it's
Brian, the gay Crusader put together a four page document
for us, which is now it's marked up as beautifully formatted.
This guy is pretty amazing. How article 51 It's all based on
Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. And by the technicality
of article 51, we really don't have the inherent right unless
we are attacked. But this has been changed. I'm going to
really condense all this, which has been changed into the self
defense in response to an imminent attack. And we all know
what imminent means. That's been broadly very broadly defined
13 years from now, the same is enduring, enduring.
Yeah. But if you go back to even 2003 invasion of Iraq, which was
done under the same inherent right, of individual and
collective self defense, we really don't have that it's, it
really does not apply to the wording of the charter. That's
just something that we do, you can print that out if you want
to. It's a nice little one pager. And you know, the words
are bolded that you need for talking points. So when you're
asked by Fareed Zakaria to go out and explain it, you can use
that. Also, in this conversation, another outfit
which I had not heard of start and start as a part of
university initiative, and they maintain the terror database
start releases
the full global terrorism database data set for 2014. We
anticipate it will include over 15,000 terrorist attacks. Our
preliminary data from the first nine months of 2014 suggests
that seven of the 10 most lethal groups in 2014 were Violent
jihadist groups and ISIL among them conducted more terrorist
attacks than any other terrorist organization.
So he's gonna show 15,000 attacks in this year alone
really
to what he says
this is a part of the University of Maryland College Park
everybody
who takes a pot shot in the Middle East that would be
considered a terrorist attack
Yeah well we know it weapons of mass destruction can be a
firecracker
right that's Cherry Bomb I think you need to be it has to
be at least a cherry bomb right Canadian now also rolling out
what I would think a version of the six six week cycle they had
another scare authority stopped a plan to mass shooting at a
public place how can you know if it's a mass shooting if it
hasn't taken place? A planned mass shooting at a public public
place two men and a woman arrested for a suspect found
dead don't know what happened there huh planned mass
shooting planned Man Boy they're just going in there doing
everything they can we knew it
was going to happen to Canada but there it is. So I really I
don't feel good about what I'm seeing. It seems to me that
we're going to see
well no we don't forget that we do have an event scheduled for
the first of March. Yes within a week one way or the other. And
so we'll have that covered on our show and it says we've just
predicted we predicted it. I guess last month sometime ago
January we'll see if there's something happens a new the way
you have the today show the way you're doing today show your
foreboding numerous possibilities. Yes plane that
air
ATC ATC seems like a good one. That would certainly we need to
get the cyber stuff moving. Look at look at the push man look at
the push. It's a big push right there ready for it. You got the
whole summit going on. We we know this is bad and which also
by the way makes me kind of folding in my thesis that
they've cracked all encryption. This would be the time to do
stuff because now it's almost as though Oh guy we there's still
one more thing we haven't been able to do. Oh, we got it. We
got to encrypt should roll out the program. Because that's what
it sounds like. Because there's like you just said, a hectic
nature. Yeah, like everything, all the ducks are in a row.
There's nothing new coming around. It's going to, you know,
foil any of this and we can just see what happens is create an
event see what happens in and start listening and to the
people that we suspect are involved in this sort of thing
who haven't an Amazon. They'll turn everything on
Amazon Echo.
We aren't listening, get everything going.
And we actually we even cleaned up another little mess. Ron
Klain got a nice little goodbye from the President. Thank you
very much. You remember Ron Klain?
No I don't.
Here's the statement when I asked Ron Klain last fall to
become the administration's Ebola Response Coordinator. Oh,
right, that the apprehension and even fear of Ebola in the United
States was at its peak right around midterm elections.
Likewise, there was more than a little skepticism from some
corners at the selection of Ron to fulfill this function. Yeah,
because he's a political operative and it was used to
lose the elections
last summer. As a blowout.
Okay, stop. Stop. Fuck me. Oh, shit. overwhelming public health
systems. For I don't know what's going on. possessed. possessed.
possessed. Stop, stop. Why would it? Stop Stop it?
I think you're the pad.
It may be the pad. I think you're right.
It's the pad sounds like it's dying because you pushed you
obviously pushed an Ebola guy. No, no, I didn't. That started
by itself. Coincidentally with an Ebola clip. Well, I
Hello. I have it lined up. I'm I'm producing the show. Yes,
what I'm saying. But I'm playing one clip and then the other one
starts firing for no reason.
Did you have Did you touch anything?
Only myself. Well, besides
that, but you do that all the time on the show? I mean, did
you touch anything on the pad that
I just turned it off? Hold on. I have a backup on me. Like this
one. And I'm sorry.
I think the pad is it could be shit.
And they have identical because these it's a Behringer. They
don't make them anymore. So I bought another one smart.
Good reason. And then it sorry that we just
bought another one. But it's at the house, I have to go get by
can use my mobile home loan. I have my mobile which is a little
Korg. And this should at least prove what the problem is home
loan. Wow. All right. I think you're right. I mean, it's
either that but it could be. It could be something bad like the
Mac could be
dying. Now. I doubt it. Mac's never have problems. Yeah. Okay.
It would be the pad. Let me see. Let me change. That's a crappy,
right. The engineering on those pads isn't? You know, it says
no,
but what you're seeing, it's like there's a loose connection
because all the lights just start flickering and doing
stuff. Yeah, it sounds
like a pad.
Okay. All right. Let's go back. And we'll we'll try this. Try
this clip again.
Last summer, as Ebola spread in West Africa, overwhelming public
health systems, threatening to cross more borders. I said that
fighting this disease had to be more than a national security
priority, but an example of American leadership.
So we can go and take over your country.
After all, whenever and wherever a disaster or disease strikes.
The world looks to us to lead
because we rocks.
And because of extraordinary people.
He's got like people in doctor's outfits and military and all
kinds of cool stuff.
I thought, yeah,
the ones standing behind me and many who are in the audience. We
have risen to the challenge.
We have risen to the challenge. What did we do? Remember,
there was no small amount of skepticism about our chances,
especially from those no agenda. eight holes. People were
understandably afraid. Oh, I'm sorry. That wasn't done. But
somebody who had if we're
honest, some stoked those fears.
Yeah, Republicans. Yeah, you right, Ron claim. But we
believe that if we made policy based not on fear, but on sound
science, science and good judgment. America could lead an
effective global response while keeping the American people
safe.
He bowed up. So we're done. We're good to go. We solved
everything just in the nick of time. And we're just going to
keep every there everybody there for another year or so. What?
Just in case just in case, just in case,
you don't pull him out. He had to pull him back and it cost too
much money to move that many people back and forth. But if
you look at the there was a Another document. They had an
Ebola Summit, which was not really covered. And I just need
to tell you about that. So they do release this information on
the whitehouse.gov. Website. President Obama today met with
13 private sector and foundation leaders who have joined the
international response to end the Ebola epidemic by providing
urgent assistance, mobilizing public interest in action, and
setting the stage for recovery. This is very interesting to me.
I thought this was a military response, a USA ID response but
apparently of 13 private sector and foundation leaders, the
president thank participants for contributing to the program
achieved thus far and encourage them to sustain the momentum.
sustain the momentum. The President also urged continued
vigilance to end the Ebola epidemic and shared views about
the next steps to achieve a resilient and Ebola free West
Africa which is Ebola free won't happen. The President reiterated
his commitment to the here it is they've got a title get to zero
this the love this these guys. Hey, we got a slogan get to
zero. Let's look at the private sector participants. Ah, we have
Rio Tinto. General Electric's Electric's Foundation, the skull
foundation. That's the guy who did yeah, we did skull mill and
Melinda Gates Foundation. Paul G. Allen Family Foundation.
Oh, he's gotten stuck there.
Jacqueline Fuller, Google Joelle Kaplan Facebook. Randy Newcomb.
New comb from Humanity United, Ed Martinez from UPS foundation.
Then we have Lucy Southworth from the Larry Page, Family
Foundation. What is this? What is going on? These people are
also concerned with Ebola. What are they doing and what have
they done to help get to zero?
Well, I can see Rio Tinto mining company huge mining company,
right skull being just sleazy. General Electric could be
anything. Yeah. But now we got all these kind of do gooders
coming in out of the blue. For what purpose? And it's all tech.
It's not. We don't see that. Is the Ford Foundation listed? No.
is Catherine de MacArthur Foundation anytime group? No,
no, I don't see the how about the Kaiser Permanente fund that
foundation. Yeah.
That's actually for them to be involved. No, they are doctors.
No, not there. But so we have a bunch of tech company. Why
why why why tech companies involved West Africa. Yes. And
they're helping apparently. Why? What have they done? Oh, and
Jeffrey Wright. Actor Jeffrey Wright. Who is he?
Jeffrey Wright, the actor.
What does he do?
Let's take a look Jeffrey. Probably seen it. We just could
look up Jeffrey, Jeffrey Wright, the actor.
What the hell was he in? Let's see HBO miniseries Angels in
America.
This American Film Television Stage actor is known for his
roles and believes the HBO miniseries Angels in America.
So he's a he's gonna be a spokes haul. I guess he has to. Yeah,
he's
black. Well, what
does that have to do with it? Well, if
you're going to be an Africa, wow. Coming up, I'm gonna tell
you people want to do
it strategy. Okay. Oh, wow. Good, good. Good. I did catch a
little melon, Melinda Gates this morning on Fareed Zakaria show.
And we see if I can find this quickly. And they were at Davao,
Davao that that was over well, yeah. But I think he was still
skiing, still skiing. And this was when did this go? Had to be
a while it was it was really strange, because you had bill
sitting the furthest away from him on this on your podium,
typical podium. Interview. And so Melinda is sitting very
close. And she's really answering all the questions I
just want medicine was more about education, but they also
go into all kinds of other stuff and why I can Oh, here it is.
Here we go. Just it's about just listened to their thinking. How
should have this woman I will call her this woman really
believes that she's going to save the all the poor children.
What about education and technology?
Where do you see its role in transforming education? Yeah. So
today, we predominantly focused
on education. Oh, yeah, yeah. So yeah, so the so and Bill is just
sitting there rocking away. She's taken over the whole
dominantly focus on education in the United States. We feel like
the biggest inequity is still our education system. It is
fundamentally broken, really,
is fundamentally broken.
Does that fundamentally broken? I don't know how that works.
I don't think that's true.
I don't and if anything is the worst, the inequity has got to
be the justice system. The fact that a third of the only a third
of the kids who graduate High School are really prepared to go
on to college. What graduate high school not graduate from
high school? What is she picking up this lingo? This is a
European state
elites. This is elitist how they talk Asia when they graduate
high school, they maybe go to hospital. Yes, this is fine. If
you live in you know, Holland they This way they would say it.
That's not the way Americans talk, they prepared
to go on to college, you just can't have a public education
system like that and have a great democracy,
hold on public education system like that and have a great
democracy. And by the way, she goes on to tout charter schools,
which really has their role in the listen to this. Thing and
education key key thing, okay. The white What does she say? The
key key thing,
key key thing, what
is that? It's a key that unlocks the key to education.
Does she say key key thing? Yes, democracy. The key key thing in
education is having access to a fantastic teacher, we know that
a fantastic teacher gets more learning to gains from the kids.
But what we're finding is in the US getting a great teacher in
front of every kid, if you have the digital tools that go along
with that
digital tools, what can you do with the digital tools, he or
she can then personalize the lesson and we're gonna
personalize the lesson,
computer learning and
then when I come home, my friends will have already
ordered me milk and cookies. Yeah, because it's the Internet
of Things is going to personalize, personalize the
lesson. Dream on Melinda, then personalized Lynn Nelson. And
that really draws kids in
really draws.
And I think over time in the developing world if you're a kid
living in a rural area, and let's say you have a good
teacher up to maybe fourth grade, but you just don't have
access to a great high school teacher in science are a college
professor, if you're actually a motivated kid, eventually you'll
be able to get a lot of that online. And that's I think it
will be even more transformative in the rest of the world. And it
may be some fantastic professor in India or somebody that's a
great professor in China or some teacher that you hear about, you
know, in the UK, that's when you start to get kids motivated and
learning
together. No, no, Netflix Netflix that motivates kids in
Africa.
She brings up she she actually says the reason the truth factor
a little earlier in those sentences where she says, you
have some kid a good teacher in the fourth grade, and then they
don't have many more but they're very motivated kid to begin
with. They're very motivated, and they get and yes, if you're
a motivated, I could go to one of these online systems. And as
bunches of Linda, if I wanted to get a little better at
Photoshop, for example. I could go on these just by motivated
and I can learn a lot. You're gonna you're not motivated
because you don't care or you're not gonna be that guy could be a
genius is not going to help.
I just like the whole they're gonna personalize the lesson for
you. Oh, yeah, this is just
selling more machines into the schools. If they do, by the way,
has anyone ever noticed that the decline in the all this
everything that the stupidity of the kids and bad classes and
lousy grades and declining scores, and the whole thing
coincides beautifully with the computer revolution almost year
for year, the longer it's been in play, the more computers that
go in schools, the worse people are. Does anyone put that two
and two together?
Well, that's interesting. Because again, I refer to the
works of Theodore Kaczynski, with industrial society in his
future, I get to do it at least once every show. This is exactly
what happens. This is exactly what happens. At New mean, by
the way, evidence based solutions. You're gonna hear a
lot of this. Oh, I
haven't heard. Yeah,
I gotta. I gotta I got a quick clip from Nicholas Kristof is
the New York Times New York Times writers Nick Kristof.
Nicholas Kristof.
He's one of the number one he's in the top of the group of the
Neo cons. He's not an I just see this op eds. Yeah, that could be
let me let's look him up. So we don't have anybody think you
play him on PBS news hour with an awful lot
of kids who get help and didn't do anything wrong. And it's a
certain amount of social responsibility on the part of
all of us, if we don't use evidence based solutions to try
to give them a chance to get to the starting line,
you're gonna hear a lot of this evidence based solutions,
because it kind of does away with any objection. So it's an
evidence based solution.
What's the evidence? Well, he's in New York Times op ed. Yeah,
yeah. But the evidence will of course, be 97% of all scientists
agree, what's your problem, but um, that's a meme that you're
going to hear a lot of I can feel this coming evidence.
I agree. It sounds great. It sounds like people can use it.
And I don't think people will pick up on it as a cliche for a
while. So good last, you know, six months, maybe it'll fall
off. It's going to be one of those meme of the month things.
We'll see. All right.
Do you want to talk about ISIL? Report? Do you want to talk
about ISIL? For a moment? Just a brief second, we're Russia. What
can we do here?
There's a lot of Russia stuff. I do have a good day. I'm sorry.
Did you see the Saturday Night Live? No ISIS skit? No. Oh, man.
It was like they like they listened to a year's worth of no
agenda, and then wrote a skit about it. Maybe somebody on the
staff, did you want to hear some of it? Sure. So what they did is
they had Shark Tank. And it was it was very funny. And Miley
Cyrus was the crazy the bitch woman. And I of course, did not
see the show. But someone sent me a link to the full clip. This
is just a piece of it. So they're doing Shark Tank with
Mark Cuban and so it's very funny, but the two guys pitching
are ISIS, and they got the flag and their logo, they got their,
their, their ak 47. And they're pitching and the whole
discussion we've always had about the branding about
everything. He's all in this symbolism. And if you get tired
of it, let me know. Back up, you just gave yourself a valuation
of $40 billion.
How are you getting that number? Well, Mark Cuban we are making
$5 million a day on stolen oil
this of course we've investigated this Wow. Now that
is interesting.
Okay, first of all, it's taking a lot of courage to look you in
the eye and I liked that about you. But here's my problem
Honey, I'm hearing ISIS ISIS ISIS but your pamphlets as a
sole lackey unified rents.
It's like we wrote this John. Unified brand covers right and I
don't need a pamphlet.
I need numbers. You say you're growing fast. Show me for you,
Mr. Wonderful. Of course. This map shows our land holdings we
now control this entire region of unusable lat okay, but what's
so special about your Islamic State? What's stopping me from
going out and doing the exact same thing?
It's like they combined the Silicon Valley pitch with ISIL.
ISIS is gonna hear more. Yeah, a little bit. Why? Why are we back
up a minute back up a minute. How have you managed to grow
this fast?
Two things Damon, a crack social media team, and good old
fashioned word of bonnet by the wedding. We are prepared to make
your clothing brand FUBU, the official retailer of the Islamic
State. I'm listening.
Now Now hold on just a second. Damon, when numbers seem too
good to be true. They usually are genocidal regimes are a very
tricky business. I've been burned before. For that reason,
I'm
out. No. It goes on
and on. Okay, but it's, it could have been a Toyota gueguen that
they didn't
do. There was no two I was waiting for it.
Alright, let's talk about Russia. What's going on this
ceasefire began and there was a you know, this is a big deal. I
have a couple of kind of rundown from and this is an RT, of
course. Good. What was essentially whereas this RT
summer, ceasefire plus money, IMF,
you don't want this summarizes peace talks. Oh, that's it. I
think that's the one you're looking for. Right? Okay. Hold
on. It is not
the best night of my life. But I do think it's a good morning.
And the peace deal includes a ceasefire starting on Sunday
that was agreed upon by all sides. Also the withdrawal of
heavy artillery and the creation of a so called safety zone.
Another major resolution is to launch the process of a
political settlement that would include constitutional reform,
and that would cement a special status for the Eastern
republics, which includes an amnesty for anti government
fighters a right to use the Russian language freely, and
cross border cooperation with Russia. So all of that took a
lot of time and effort from the leaders 16 hours to be precise.
The Russian Foreign Minister described the talks as better
than Super President Poroshenko has stepped out several times to
quietly use his phone and run for him though everyone thought
it was over. Instead of fresh coffee was being wheeled in.
Right
now Poroshenko is going in and out of the meetings called
jogging on the phone to who?
Well, we're listening. This is supposed to be one of the
systems.
You're the boss. He's calling you. Of course,
he's calling and Nudelman and McCain. Yeah. What am I supposed
to do here? Well, I fear that we are going to see a true Russian
invasion in eastern Ukraine within the month
that I put that in the book. Yeah,
you actually should. Here's something nutty that came out
today. This is truly not it's in the alternative, constant spiria
But it also see I think, It also was in a Washington Post mine.
Let me see who also posted this. Oh, shoot. I'm glad I saved this
offline. It Well, it started in provde. Okay, well, that's the
truth. Obviously, you're gonna love this. Apparently, there is
a threat from Vladimir Putin that if things don't go the way
he wants, he has Russian satellite evidence proving 911
was a controlled demolition and he is going to release this
evidence to the world.
I like it from that, you know, provde is, is not even Russian,
the Russian spokes hole anymore, but it hasn't been for 25 years.
And it's always running stories about various towns and various
aliens who have set up shop. Yes, in Russia as Yes, yes, I
noticed.
And it is funny because it's actually the directed energy
weapons is mentioned in here, which has always been my theory
is that we'll see. I'm just saying I'm just saying it's out
there.
I hope he does something, it'd be kind of funny. It would give
us more fodder,
it would be better than 28 pages. That's
the one thing that I thought was a little sidelight Sarcos he
stuck his nose in to make a comment. And I thought this was
very interesting, because it's one it's one of those things
that he's obviously back in the game in some way. And he's also
staging for Russia, with this commentary, but I have to say
this is one of the few times I've heard any of these
politicians at that level show any signs of logic.
But not all politicians share Carrie's purse. But that
perspective former friends, French President Nicolas Sarkozy
recently saying Crimea, which Russia is accused of illegally
annexing made its own choice and had the right to do so.
Crimea has chosen Russia, and we cannot blame it for doing so.
Just like I am pressed on Putin, to let the cost of ours separate
from Serbia who the city of Kosovo has the right to separate
from Serbia. Let's see how we can say what's the same reason
in candy pond, Crimea doesn't have the right to leave Ukraine
to join Russia. You know, he he better not be eaten any oysters
this or cozy guy, but this is this is not the he's not on
board with the program. What is he thinking? Why is he Yeah, I
know we need to sell chips and stuff. But come on. Wow,
Newsweek, Newsweek says,
I have no idea what that was about.
Newsweek says biggest NATO reinforcements since Cold War
sets front lines against Russia, this news week. Which means
we're just ramping it up here is the former ambassador to Russia,
who speaks fluent Russian, Ukrainian. And he was I think
that might have been at the Press Club, not have not a well
covered event. It was something I kind of tripped across on C
span three, he thinks that we are really doing a huge
disservice to the world by trying to spark whatever crap we
want to spark with Russia through Ukraine.
I respect and love the people in Ukraine. And I do know, I was
probably the only American Ambassador to the Soviet Union,
who could and did make speeches in Ukrainian when I went to
Kyiv. As well as in Russia. And when I was in Moscow, I do know
that country. I know its literature and its culture. I
prize it. My heart goes out to the people who are going through
hell in eastern Ukraine this winter. But I'll tell you, if
the United States gets further involved in what is in the minds
of the Russians, territory, which historically has been part
of their country, given the present atmosphere, I don't see
how we are going to prevent another nuclear arms race. And
that's what scares me chef's slave.
Yay. There was a report that there was a nuke that was set
off in Ukraine. There's some video that I put in the show
notes. Now Yeah, exactly. But here's the here's the here's the
real news. We now have a brand new head of the advisory
International Council of reforms for this is a an Advisory
Council for the President of Ukraine. Guess who is heading
that up?
I will probably be shocked when I find out. Yes,
the former prime minister of Georgia Saakashvili,
our man in Georgia, they
bought the Thai eatin war starting dude to advise. He's
one of ours. Yeah, he's one of our guys, one of our guys to
advise.
Yeah, that way they won't make the same mistake.
And then finally I have oh yes look for if I were to call
another some kind of aggression type thing that we'd have to
have something in Ireland Ireland needs new jets there
they feel the feel that their air corps is the Air Force is
just really not up to snuff no so I think probably we'll
see what we'll do what for their for their white who they
battling who the Irish battling
well they just need jets gives a fight well, why to be badass
just to spend money you know how it works, the
country that's in distributes right now they're in this Daredi
they were they buying jets?
They're making their people pay for water for the first time and
people are upset about that. Yeah, that's why they're gonna
go buy some jets which will need some NATO types thing because of
Russian aggression. This is all about that. And by
the way, while we're at this still talking about the Ukraine
thing. Well, Georgia is trying to do deals me well play this
clip here ceasefire plus money. IMF is going to just throw more
money at Ukraine.
As the peace plan was announced. Ukraine also got good news from
the International Monetary Fund agreed to finance a new bailout
deal where it's 17 and a half billion dollars to shore up the
country's battered finances.
Excellent. Excellent, good work.
Here's an interesting one to another clip this off out of the
blue. This changes the subject a little
bit, but I think we're done with it does
relate to the our FBI guy who was a HSBC, HSBC, Comey,
Comey now they got nailed because they were laundering
everything you wanted to launder drug money, weapons money you
went to
was about to control and apparently still there's plenty
HSBC, HSBC clipped, which is this is just a few of the things
going on around this bank.
British banking giant HSBC admitted today two major
misdeeds by its Swiss unit amid new disclosures of how it helped
launder drug money and dodge taxes. The claims came from the
International Consortium of Investigative Journalists based
on leaked documents. Javon Kennedy of Independent
Television News has our report.
It's one of the world's biggest banks. But what secretive
business was carried out in the snowy mountains of the Swiss
Alps. Did HSBC knowingly allow its private Swiss arm to help
wealthy clients conceal billions of dollars worth of income from
the taxman. Data released today appears to show just that these
latest allegations cast a further shadow on HSBC, which is
already facing multiple prosecutions because of its
alleged tax activities around the world. Now new revelations
that it deliberately colluded with clients to help them avoid
tax set up bank accounts for known criminals and aggressively
marketed tax avoidance schemes raise yet more questions. The
man in charge while all this was going on was Stephen green, a
church of England Minister he spent the majority of his
working life at the bank today is HSBC revelations cover the
period 2005 to 2007. Exactly when Stephen Green was in
charge. The Conservatives insist that all this happened on
Labour's watch in a period of little or no regulation of the
big banks. In a statement, HSBC said we acknowledge and are
accountable for past compliance and control failures. It added
that the Swiss bank had not been fully integrated into HSBC,
allowing different cultures and standards to persist with
hindsight that too many small and high risk accounts were
maintained.
US regulators fined HSBC in 2012 for letting criminals use its
branches for money laundering. Wait
a minute, wasn't Comey in there in 2012? I think he was he was
on the board of directors, wasn't he?
Well, I don't I'd have to look that up. But and I can't do that
easily. But the way they throwing this green guy under
the bus. That's what I'd like to know. I think there's more to
this. There's more he's gonna use some somebody has to throw a
bunch of fish chum out there for for journalistic sharks to go
after I'm not sure.
Well, let me look I got Comey here and let me just see where
he was. I'm pretty sure 2012 He was. Well, we know in 2004 what
he was doing very important work of convicting Martha Stewart.
Very important work. He's done.
Yeah, well, they got to finally put her where she deserved to be
in the slammer for doing nothing. To an agent,
I don't even see HSBC on here. What is that? Come on, if they
have they taken him out of his wiki page. Alright. The
probably Wow,
that can't be Oman. HSBC. Here we go. In 2010 he became General
Counsel of Bridgewater Associates. Oh, that's a good
one. That's what sticks always want these bridgewater
associates? I'm going to jump back into that in early 2013 Ah,
okay. He left Bridgewater and joined the board of directors at
HSBC so he may not have what was early 2013. So I think he would
have had to know or as a board member, you do have
responsibility to know what's going on in the in the
operation. They knew what the Bridgewater Associates that's,
it's a they do governments central banks, this investment
management firm. This dad is a huge one. This guy is an Uber
shill, and he's in the henhouse. And no one seems to care.
Yeah, no, nobody cares.
Just before we get to our segment here, there's something
that I've been see just came out last month, January. And it
didn't get a lot of play for obvious reasons, but it is a a
survey. Actually a study done by Oxford bio chronometer Crona
metrics. And the title of it is quantifying online advertising
fraud ad click bots versus humans. No. And I figured out
that I had marked up in the show notes if
this, if this gets played, the whole thing comes to a grind
except for us. Yeah, well, the whole internet schemes
allow me to read the abstract. Yes, we present the results of
research to determine the ratio of ad clicks that are human
initiated against those that are initiated by automated computer
programs commonly known as ad bots. The research was conducted
over a seven day period in early January 2015, using the
advertising platforms of Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn, and Facebook.
The results showed, are you ready for the number that
between 88 and 98% of all ad clicks were by a bot of some
kind, with over 10% of these bots, being of a highly advanced
type able to mimic human behavior to an advanced extent,
thus requiring highly advanced behavioral modeling to detect
them? Wow. 98 present Wow. Yeah, how come no one's talking about
this? Why would no one mentioned this? Yeah, Gee, I
wonder.
That is so fantastic. Sounds
Well, the problem is that again, I don't want to harp on this and
I want people out there to listening to this show to
realize this. The problem with a lot of these covering a lot of
this stuff is like the unwritten rule between Disney and you
don't shit in your own bed is what they do it so yeah, so I'm
a writer for PC Magazine. There's a lot of stuff on there.
Who knows? Maybe 98% of his being clicked bought a
bought clicked. Oh, it's got almost that's that'd be 99.9
Well, whatever
it is, I'm not gonna write about it in the magazine. I just can't
do that. Because it's like, why am I doing this? Because I do
get paid by this magazine. And I'm not there to make the
magazine go away. And and who like these shows, all these
these guys on these podcasts that are talking about one thing
or another? Yeah. I mean, if Yeah, if you call and buy the
product that you know, then you can pretty much be assured that
it's not illegitimate. But yeah, how many people are doing that?
Well, it's the numbers on the on these on these deals.
It seems to me that it's just like the Podcast Awards.
Or the Podcast Awards now taking votes.
I don't know but we know how the nominations works it's do we get
nominated I have no idea I don't think the nominations are out
but I don't want to stray from the topic that this advertising
thing
I'll bet you we have people in our audience that are involved
in this scam and they get paid good money I'm What do you think
is the Don't you think did we must have guys like
that? Worse? Of course, they're going to tell us to go into
email. Tell us what
it's all about. And then they're going to probably maybe do us a
favor if you know what I'm gonna show my son move by Jonah didn't
know agenda. Imagine all the people who could do with us
there you go. Okay, we have a few people to thank for show

who sent the note and I She said, Yeah, to read this now
you're in these notes. Yeah, we like but but she's entertaining.
So I'm going to read this note. Anonymous lesbian here, though I
recently signed up for a regular pay pal donation, I felt
compelled to add another check on top of that, when I heard you
announce in one of the last month's donation segments that
you have a another anonymous lesbian. I must admit when I
heard that I felt an acute stab of jealousy. What another
anonymous lesbian, by the way, you're the anonymous those other
anonymously. I don't want to share my designation, which
you are the anonymous lesbian. After I calm down,
I realized I must be able to share all the good to show and
now I'm happy to know that the lesbian demographic may turn
into a new cash cow for you guys. I feel that I should
explain that my identifying myself to you as anonymous
lesbian was always a private joke to me, because though I am
homosexual, I have never been able to stand gay people. I have
always found other gays irksome, boring and downright irritating.
I always felt guilty about having these feelings towards
why why this says she has she has he felt guilty if we're
having this or not and and not animosity, until I heard on the
show which you featured the Putin. Russia hates gays
deconstruction by Brian the gay Crusader. That show was one of
my first episodes and it went on to become a pivotal moment in my
life
in her sexuality as well. I think all of
a sudden I realized that I don't really hate the gays. I just
hated being manipulated by the media. I can never thank you to
enough for removing the veil over my eyes Wow, Courage
gentleman. Wow, that's the best video premium anonymous
animal that's really well that's that actually kind of makes me
feel good.
Yes, that was a very nice note.
And and please let us also give props to Brian the gay Crusader.
Yes, who did all the work on that really?
You got him going though. You are the motivator. Yeah, I keep
promising him sex. That's why I
keep holding out.
I'm playing hard to get. And before we finish up I do want to
thank vie count Jeffrey gorilla, who has offered me kindly in in
lieu of an Airstream he has available for me a camp light,

Don't put off why you are laughing over jobs. Jobs and
jobs. For jobs. Alrighty, then.
Nice. Okay. Onward. Yeah. And those notes are all red. Except
for the ones that were on the email in order because they were
stapled together in order of a mouse up here the paper that
proves real we finally
figured out why why Cuba is so important.
You're gonna run a pipeline through it.
No, are there Netflix is opening up service in Cuba.
Oh yeah. Gotta have that. How's the car enough money as it is?
How's
the cards go look and see how it works over here. House of Cards
Yeah, lovely. vaccines. Still like going on with that we have
an NBC came out. This is It's so annoying this vaccine stuff. So
NBC comes out with a survey and their headline and it's really
crazy when you when you see that there's a big graphic that shows
you who didn't participate. But their their headline is NBC
survey finds Congress is unanimous on vaccinations. But
then you see seven declined to answer 33 the magic number
responded they have no kids. 121 Say yes, we vaccinated but 273
have no response. So really, you know, technically NBC you should
say 38% of those who answered. Answer they were vaccinated, no
response. I mean, how can you say Congress is unanimous on
vaccinations? It's not okay. It's not true.
It's a lie.
And then we have let's see, here we have this. Do we already
play? I don't think we played this. Senator. No, we did play
this memory of Washington about the the age the HPV we played
that.
Right. I was confused that she was the senator from Washington,
but she was so
as the all of the pharmaceutical companies are indemnified from
any kind of lawsuit if you're damaged or hurt or, or die from
vaccination, there is a fund and it's always in the Federal
Register. The US government pays out since 19 $93 billion have
been paid out to vaccine injured Americans.
Holy crap, a lot of news stories, somebody should look
into this, but what vaccines are injuring them?
It's, it's a cornucopia. I don't think I don't think there's one
in particular, necessarily, but there's just so much we're
learning about vaccines, apparently, now an aggressive
new HIV strain has been detected in Cuba, which I don't know what
that means. Does that mean that our this stuff that we've been
developing won't work on them, you know, the stuff that you can
then use? As long as you take the pill every day, you then
think that you can have unprotected sex, which is not
true. Maybe we're going to try to kill the Cubans with AIDS.
I didn't hear that this story has eluded me, let
me see where this was from. It's from you, UPI. New HIV strain in
some patients in Cuba appears to be much more aggressive and
could develop into AIDS within three years of infection.
Researchers said the progression of that depends if you take the
drugs you bless her, she get AIDS faster. I'm very, very
negative on how AIDS has been handled. Researchers said
progression happens so fast that treatment with an antiretroviral
drugs that's the one that has been approved now in the United
States may come too late. I'm smelling a rat here. And also we
have said, Oh, that, okay, it was a very long story, which I
tried to clip and it really didn't work out. It was just too
long. I do have a link in the show notes. It was from NPR,
that they're now working on developing a synthetic version
of the polio vaccine. And the reason and of course it's being
funded by the mill and Melinda Gates Foundation course and
apparently there is polio still floating around because people
received a like a modified version of the polio vaccine and
therefore it stays in their body and then eventually you can
develop into a new version and the thinking is and I really
don't know anything about this if you make a synthetic version
then you can actually turn things on and off I think will
be used to kill people at will but they you can really do a lot
more with the synthetic version now they're trying to make that
happen and when I thought polio was done with but it's not
if there's money to be made is not done with
the man in the Gates Foundation is all over it
first they got to spread it around a little bit All right, I
have this thing I have to read
Tom bushy writes also known as Sir Tom the Minutemen night
okay. I just listened to the show 693 Where you both stated
the double nickels on the dime donation was created by Sergeant
Fred not knowing who that is, but I wanted to set the record
straight I created the 5510 donation way back in 2010. And
he goes on to explain the exact thing sent the clip and so Sir
Tom the Minute Man night is the mangled his name then which
means it's probably not pronounced bushy Bush che and
that's that that's the end of that story the
originator Okay, we got it finally good. Yes. Good.
He also goes on to mention that we drop a lot of ideas and we do
Yeah, of course you've had a million ideas that we never
followed through in are they do are they flopped? Yeah, you
which is usually like night a nap for humanity.
We still have the good genes Well, that was a it was a good
initiative. We were saving carbon we were saving the Earth
saving the world. I
thought it was apparently nobody cares about saving carbon as
much as they talk about it or as much as we do just in June, but
he mentioned that the Minuteman thing we started it was like we
had the Minuteman nine. So we're gonna have you know and I we put
the key by Shawn that I explained him to an email
because it was starting to look like we're starting in a militia
no agenda militia we don't need the no agenda militia we don't
need the no agenda Minute Man because we don't need government
coming over so what are you guys doing
your your comment to him was a suit and you said idiots don't
understand the joke yeah really good
against don't understand the journey really can't have that
at all and so we don't make this we don't make those kinds of
jokes ever and we just deconstruct the news they
understand that and you can take it or leave it in no summer
still leave it we have way too many people that you know you
guys are both Obama haters or something and then they quit and
that's that you know we can do anything about it.
Yeah, that's it Obama haters I knew it. No, we're not
Obama bashers. You know which Obama here no selfie pictures, I
swear this a second Obama.
Wow, it happens not once, but twice in a week. You will recall
John Podesta, counselor to the president.
John, John Podesta, he tweeted
something very interesting. He tweets, he tweets, he scores.
Then he tweeted Here we go. Finally, my biggest failure of
2014. He's left public service. Once again, not securing the
hashtag disclosure of the UFO files. Hashtag The truth is
still out there. Thank you. Yeah, thank you very much. And
the Washington Post pick this up. And yeah, so that was his
his biggest regret is that he didn't open up the for The X
Files.
Is chiding the audience? Or is it one of his waiting for him or
what?
No, the Washington Post checked it with him. And he what he
famously did is he rejected a lot of Freedom of Information
Act requests. And so that's now his biggest regret. Yeah, big
talk now that you're out, dude.
Well, that reminds me people should if they want to get into
this sort of thinking, they should go read the John Corso,
John chord, the cool Philip Corso book and see what you
think it's called The Day After Roswell. It's a very interesting
read.
You like that book? Have you ever read that book? No, no, I
have to read it. Now. It's Oh, you'd love that. What's it
called again?
The Day After Roswell? Available on Amazon. Yes. And who wrote
it? Corso, Philip Corso, who used to be one of the army
executives in the army. I high up in the army got it. Got it.
Nice. And
explain everything. They have only a couple more things, but
something I do have to ask you actually. Not a lot of people.
Well, I think it's now just now getting into the news. But I
feel this is important season
to date. It's estimated that this has impacted the California
citrus industry.
This is about the labor dispute at the ports on the West Coast,
which has been going on apparently for a long time and
not covered. I have the dock strike shut down a little
background here. You can play it
into the background or good idea and then we'll see if my clip is
appropriate. Work has
halted at 29 West Coast ports in an escalating labor dispute. In
Southern California container ships queued up outside the
ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles today, terminal
operators that they locked out dockworkers in answer to a union
slowdown. The lockout runs through Monday.
Now what I caught in all of this now that I want to play my
report, it seems like well, let's listen to my report. And
then once they will evaluate these in the date it's estimated
that this has impacted the California citrus industry by
this guy. This guy is from the citrus industry, obviously a
reduction of about $500 million in export sales.
Dusty ference is director of Grower Services at the industry
trade group California Citrus Mutual. He says all this is
coming in a really bad time because this is the industry's
peak export season ahead of the Chinese New Year.
We're getting reports now that not including trucking time.
These containers are sitting on the docks for 10 days and in
some cases,
longer. Some industries are now turning to the air to ship
freight. Some references. Growers are trucking cargo down
to the Port of Houston. But going the long way through the
Panama Canal is expensive and not always practical. So mostly
they're just waiting and hoping things get resolved quick The
Pacific maritime association's president has warned of an all
out, quote, meltdown on West Coast ports, if the union
doesn't accept what he calls its generous contract offer.
So is this only for exports or imports as well, that's That's
why everything
stopped. The ports are stopped. You also know what it's costing
California's economy $2 billion a week, a week or maybe a day. I
don't know how much it's costing on a weekly daily. It's to
billions involved. And whatever the case, it's, it's a disaster.
Well, no
one will care until the new iPhones don't don't come in.
That's when people will get a free or the iWatch. Apple watch
whatever it is. No one will care. Good old.
By the way, the point is, I was talking to a Costco sales guy.
And we brought he brought this up and I said, he says what he
says the because they couldn't get there. They have a bunch of
new TVS coming in to Costco. And they're all jammed up because of
this strike. He says that nobody's even talking about the
strike. I said, Now I know. It's not even in the news. And he
says, Why do you think that is? And I suppose because you don't
want to give anybody any ideas if you haven't. Recently, they
tried to keep this out of the news, because some other guys
might decide to strike and then I gave him a disc.
Nice, do you just carry these in your shirt
pocket? They fit in a pocket quite easily.
Joe Biden had a, this was news. And I think it's so stupid.
Because this has clearly been highlighted by people who have
never been in New Jersey or Pennsylvania. And you know you
I'm sure you heard this Joe Biden thing. Are you hearing? Do
I miss you? And my butt buddy? Neil, everyone's like?
Yeah, I've heard about that
more than heard the clip. And that is what we're in New Jersey
and Pennsylvania. And we talked about bud buddies, but it's not
a homosexual thing. Oh, my God, how childish are all these
people? He's, I'm the first guy to make a gay joke. But no, this
is dumb. You are the first guy to make a joke. And as you were
saying earlier in this whole rapid for me. People in general
have no idea how to gauge risk and what is truly dangerous. And
you mentioned that as a one in 40. But you have more chance of
winning Powerball than to be killed by a terrorist attack
even those apparently 15,000 of them every single year. Here is
Josh Earnest spokes hole for the White House, who can tell you
that there are things way more dangerous than taro terrorism.
One want to Gander, I guess,
driving a car, I was asked if the media overstates the level
of alarm people should have about terrorism, as opposed to
longer term Problems of Climate Change epidemic. Absolutely. So
let me just clarify, as the President saying, as he seems to
be implying here, that the threat of climate change is
greater than the threat of tariffs. I think, John Wood, the
point that the President is making is that there are many
more people on on an annual basis who have to confront the
impact the direct impact on their lives of climate change,
or on the spread of a disease, then on terrorism? The answer is
yes. The President and climate change well, greater threat to
tariffs, I think the the President is making is that when
you're talking about the direct daily impact of these kinds of
challenges on the daily lives of Americans living in this
country, that that direct impact is more that more people are
directly affected by those things than by terrorism
So climate change is more of a clear and present danger. Well,
I think even the Department of Defense has spoken to us again
threat that climate change poses to our national security and
reality.
We're all gonna die. Yeah. There you go. Good work. Good work.
Good clip.
Since I see it in your list, I don't know if you'd want to play
anything but he is coming to Austin. And I saw it in the
Guzman No, no, no better than that. I didn't know he was doing
the tour. But he is coming to Austin. And he shall be speaking
at the Paramount Theater. cura que creo que
Oh, yeah, well, I want it I have a little more about that. That
is gonna take up too much time I want to bring that into the next
show. Okay, and we'll talk about him he is you know, so called
whistleblower which he never was really, and he doesn't really
fall into the same I'm
sorry, I'm talking I'm thinking of the wrong guy. I'm sorry. My
mistake. Sorry. This. I'm thinking of the skinny now the
stupid scientist guy the Asian side. What's his name? His name
crack. Who what's his name?
Bill Nye.
No, no, the other douche.
Oh, that guy with the white hair. Yeah, that guy.
No, I'm sorry. I missed this. You didn't know
this is As funny anyway as an Asian sounding name, but I do
want to talk a little bit about him since he's out of jail.
Oh, I didn't know he just came out. Yeah, he's out and
about and doing interviews mostly with the interview I have
here is on on RT and I want to talk about it because there's a
lot of screw Enos about this particular guy, because he's
supposed to be a whistleblower when he's not really
well, he gave information to the fox journalist. Correct. And now
this is I will discuss it in great detail when we have a
little more time, which will be on Thursday, and you may want to
do a little research and we can go back and forth on this. Okay.
I did send a couple of show notes. items which involve him.
You might want to put those in the next one on Thursday. I'll
because
I had him in for today, but I'll take them out. Okay. Well, well,
well, Mr. Do C Dvorak. Hey, and you're on Twitter today, right?
I'm on Twitter. I'd invite everyone to come up and sit in
the audience. Are you going to be there live? Yeah, be up in
the in the Petaluma.
Oh, sweet, beautiful day to take a drive up. Sweet, sweet, sweet,
nice. All right, well, I'm gonna go figure out if I can. I guess
it is I so I hooked up the mobile controller and worked for
