This is designed for porn. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, February 26 2015. Time for your gizmo nation media
assassination, Episode Six, nine or nine. This is no agenda
celebrating our final days as lawful content live from FEMA
Region six in downtown Austin, and Morning everybody. I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm in dissipating episode
700 I'm John C. Dvorak. Buzzkill.
As right six
as cute nein nein amen. Amen fists by man Chris Stewart on
why he's leaving the Daily Show says conservatives are killing
me.
What is this doing came out. Oh really
explained at length why he's leaving the Daily Show. He
started by showing clips of reaction to his announcement.
And then he goes our Fox News Channel where Megan Kelly has
seen talking about how nasty Stewart got.
Care not.
Well, I do care because I have a number of Fox clips today. Okay,
apparently Fox
way, way, way, way, way stopped before and we go anywhere. I
need to give you some props. Okay, as we say in hip hop land.
Some props for your red book prediction, which came true
within two weeks of the prediction.
Yeah, I tried to keep it tight. That was a man.
Real good. Real tight. Brian Williams. You predicted in the
Red Book? Suicide. Yeah. And not even with headline big at the
supermarket called me on
and when I made the predictions. It was so easy. It was like, oh,
no, no, no, that's not what you did. I'll go back and get the
clip. What did I say? You said, Oh, bull crap. What do you mean
what kind of prediction is that? Because it's so easy. I said, of
course it's gonna be easy.
It doesn't matter if you call it it's in the book. You nailed it.
What was it the National Enquirer which is
no no no, no see this the probably you made a mistake
wasn't Inquirer. It was the glow. That was the National
Enquirer is baby sister. Oh, boy. And it's not. It doesn't
get you know. So this isn't that this is scripted. This is a
script to get him back on track. Somebody sent into clips showing
that he's still actually doing. I don't know if this was maybe
older. That guy was misinformed. But there's a thing called NBC
everywhere that they play in the taxi cabs in New York City.
Yeah, they took a photo of him on the odd
thing. He's, he's been relegated to taxi cab broadcast. Yeah,
that's cool. I mean, that's, I think that I think, actually.
But there is one thing lower than podcaster. And that's gotta
be the Yellow Cab broadcast network,
I think is even lower than that's the gasoline stations.
Where you can't really hear it. You can't hear it. You can't see
it. Because the screens all sprang down
on the monitor. You can't see it. Anything
cab caster. Hi, everybody. I'm Brian Williams, your cab caster
for today? In the morning. Hey, I'm much better now. I'll
say Oh, well, I thought was allergy so you can't be better.
No, it wasn't allergies. No, I bad flu. I get a cold. Flu. I
was flu. Someone referred to me. And I hadn't heard this term in
decades as Typhoid Mary.
Did you ever heard that? Oh, yeah. You
hear it all the time? I don't know.
I hadn't heard it in decades, and I had to look it up. Oh,
geez. Who was Typhoid Mary?
Yeah. Well, how did you run Typhoid Mary because you're
actually sick.
I was patient zero in Austin. Curries, typhoid, Mary, Mary
Mallon, better known as Typhoid Mary
showed symptoms that was the deal. Well, it was the first Oh,
let me
say it was the first person United States identified as an
asymptomatic carrier of the pathogen associated with typhoid
fever. She was presumed to have infected 51 people, three of
whom died over the course of her career as a cook. So she was
asymptomatic. So she was a carrier but she she did not have
the she did not actually get typhoid herself.
I noticed that wishing she had typhoid but it was asymptomatic
me she had no symptoms of typhoid, but she had it. It's
just one of these things that happens with many diseases. So
she was roaming around, you know, feeling great. And
coughing up a storm. Looking him you know, Give him kisses. And
this, typhoid,
this is a 1900 So it's just interesting how that stays
around for 100 years. I don't know I kind of liked that was a
good deal. It sounds good. Typhoid Mary me. Guy name. You
know. Gweneth typhoid, Gwyneth wouldn't work or guy named Bill
Typhoid Mary has a nice
bow bionic plague bill. Boo Boo. Boo Bonneville
so yeah, there's I think most of the Yeah, no. Yeah, I think most
of the most of the diseases have a asymptomatic elements. It was
certain people. It's not a you are symptomatic. So that does us
both. You're just, you're just a careless spreader.
I didn't realize I was I did not fit the description. Sorry.
Please fit the description of an irresponsible that's what I was
calling on people. No not irresponsible man from New York
sick and you infect the whole town with your hugs and kisses.
Kisses and the smack smack thing you get
oh, man, we don't do kisses anymore, man. First of all,
that's all we do. Amen. Fist bump is to stay healthy. Amen.
Fist bump. Wow, deuces.
Every time I hear that. I know. It makes you shake your head.
No, I know. I know.
Wow, I'm not nearly as irresponsible as Jude Johnson.
Johnson Johnson. Some call them it's irresponsible.
He went on the telescreens and said Oh, yeah, yeah, that video
with a guy with who sub talked about the mall? Yeah, we need my
where's my budget. This was this was had to follow this story.
And I know that everyone has seen this about the Mall of
America. But it was very interesting to follow. What was
going on? This is all politicized. This is of course,
what do we have now tomorrow at midnight, Department of Homeland
Security will be defunded. Now. It's not going to happen. No.
More of the same bullcrap that always goes on and the news
loves to jump on it. And it was in fact the news who somehow we
got this video of this guy and then they showed some of the
Kenya mall and I have the Yeah, yeah.
What are they showing the Kenya mall for how long ago was that?
Because all those 2013 Because all they wanted to do was get
Joe Johnson on to say hey, you can defend me and gave everybody
a raise on data for talking. Here's CBS NBC little mashup of
a friend Jonathan, may we
will mash up of, of CBS and NBC. Who would someone gave them this
video and I'm sure it was the SITE Intelligence Group. Or
maybe it was just someone to some staffer at DHS here. Let's
get to get this conversation started on alert
the iconic Mall of America tightening security, wake of a
new terror threat.
Meanwhile, the clock is ticking with Congress locked in a bitter
battle over how to fund DHS. If Congress can't resolve its
differences by Friday, the agency that oversees much of the
nation's security operations will run out of money.
Days before the Department of
Homeland Security already in front of the Mall of America
doing these reports
is set to run out. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson
laid out the implications of a looming shutdown 30,000 would be
furloughed, if funding runs out by this week.
They use the word runs out.
I know, I was thinking about that. 30,000 That's only 10% of
the workforce. That's not a huge problem. The 300,000 people as
far as I know, in Department of Homeland Security, that's a wall
30,000 will be furloughed. It's those 10%. It's not quite as bad
as they make it seem
and the rest will be required to show up without pay.
What is complicating things is that Johnson's Agency, the
Department of Homeland Security is set to run out of Run. There
is a battle in Congress over the president it works
well, because this is what people understand. I ran out of
money. Run out it's recent
immigration actions and DHS funding is in the crosshairs
funding for DHS runs out and midnight Friday. And as of now
it's unclear how the Republican led Congress will break the
impasse is a
bull crap bull crap. But then to Johnson goes on CNN and ABC, and
he's, and he made a mistake. Because I know there's one thing
you do not say in the United States of America, there's one
thing you never ever want to thwart people from. And that's
shopping. This is very dumb of Johnson to oh, this is very
bad. This is this is where you're headed with this. This is
not good. You're right. This
is stupid. This is not how we after 911. What did President
President What did President Bush or what President Bush say?
He said, Go shopping? You remember this? Yeah. Go
shopping, go like go to the mall tomorrow,
and I just want to read you okay,
here's a jiff. Here's his initial response. And then the
little nugget in here I didn't know one
more thing on this. This is a statement from the Mall of
America today. Mall of America is aware of a threatening video
that was released which included a mention and images of the
mall. We take any potential threats seriously and respond
appropriately. We have implemented extra security
precautions some may be noticeable to guests and others
want some won't be noticeable.
What are you telling Americans who might be planning a trip to
the mall this Sunday?
This The answer is shop till you drop baby. It's never this.
What we're telling the public in general is you've got to be
vigilant. We just revamped our if you see something, say
something campaign Hold on a second.
They just revamped the campaign.
They did. Did they use or did they you
know? Again, a missed opportunity from the Department
of Homeland Security. This is this is Sir Jeff. Sir. Jeff's
best work. Sir Jeff Smith from Nashville, and it's catchy and
everyone would be nobody knows that you've revamped your if you
see something, say something campaign. The old the first time
I heard about it is him saying it.
I heard about it a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't hear no
jingle is something that would be
a revamp the Superbowl last month. And so public engagement,
public awareness is critical. Americans should still feel that
they are free to associate they're free to go to public
gatherings. But it's critical that we have public awareness
and public participation in our efforts.
Are they safe and going to the mall in America today? If you
want to go take your kids to the Mall of America?
Yes. Yes. Go shop.
That was a throw a question thrown in for this specific
reason to get him to save himself.
And what did he do? He dug the hole even deeper.
I would say that if anyone is planning to go to the Mall of
America today, they've got to be particularly careful. Oh, your
red indicates though enhance security. Oh, that will be
apparent to people. Security as well. There will be enhanced
security
that apparently not.
But public. Public awareness and public caution. In situations
No, no, no. God
was on the right side of this. You could tell she was playing.
She would come on on you can say you're right. It did. I guess
whoever hired him assumed that he knew the drill.
No, no, he screwed it up. And then Josh, Josh Earnest, spokes
hole extraordinaire for the war for the White House. Key had to
go and downplay it all. But it was very uncomfortable to watch
to watch him do this. Because what he had to say is he had a
couple of talking points, and it just kept it's it's really
outrageous when you hear these these clips, how the American
public is just being lied to. And it's so obvious that we're
being lied to. And then they walk these statements back and
covered up with just it's obvious, but no one ever says,
Hey, this guy's is shithead. And he lied. And there's no threat
whatsoever now that the Secretary overstated the threat
to America's moles.
No, I think the press secretary was noting how important it is
for the American people to continue to be vigilant. That
said, the intelligence community has said that they are not aware
of any specific, credible plot against them, or any other debt.
So the intelligence community, which I think includes
Department of Homeland Security, we're very clear. And he's going
to repeat this a couple of times, but they're not letting
them go.
Because he did immediately after Jeh Johnson came out with his
bull crap. Every store owner in the Mall of America called the
White House, I say, hey, laning Hey,
what's going on? This is not how we run things in America
stick a commercial shopping center here in the United
States. But we certainly are mindful of the threat that
exists. And that's why, you know, DHS has their See
Something, Say Something campaign and we encourage people
to be vigilant. Once
again, again, a missed opportunity to see something.
They license the damn slogan, they can license the jingle. We
could probably make licensing that jingle If Sir Jeff would
donate to us we could probably do a couple like 10 grand a year
maybe? Maybe, maybe they're thinking they're not thinking
straight. But
the fact of the matter is the you know, the intelligence
community has indicated that there's no specific credible,
no, against
the intelligence community has indicated Why do reporters not
go Excuse me? Who is the intelligence community just add
on include your Johnson's outfit there?
The mall and that, you know, essentially, is a reaction to a
man which has been shut up. Just believe me. Yeah, that was put
out by a terrorist group in Africa, NASA and far away, far
away.
I love that, ma'am. This was essentially a video harem
put out by a terrorist group in Africa. And I recognize that may
be why the issue but more security has come to the
attention. Oh, no, that's fine. That's for him. But the fact
Oh, it came to our attention because Joe Johnson said, Be
careful,
as the administration has been mindful, mindful of this risk
for years now. And that's why Secretary Johnson was yesterday,
when he was asked about this was able to indicate that we'd
already been in touch with local law enforcement already been in
touch with individuals who are responsible for security.
And let's say,
even at this specific shopping center. Oh, but I want to
reiterate reiterate, the intelligence community has said
about there not being any specific, credible threat that
they're
aware, he just can't say it enough. I want to reiterate,
there is no threat, no threat, no threat, please go shopping.
Here is I think this is the guy from Fox again, who's getting
all that airtime. So this is probably scripted. And the
answer certainly is what he said specifically was,
if anybody is planning to go to the Mall of America today, they
have got to be particularly careful. Yes. Because the White
House agree with that specific statement.
Pretty simple question.
Somebody is going to the Mall of America today.
How do we answer this one? This is the crux of the problem.
It got to be particularly careful, careful, be careful,
suggests a specific threat or a heightened threat level right
now at a specific place. Yeah.
And what I had said and what the more importantly, what the
intelligence community says do it one more time what they have
said, we're not aware of any specific, credible plot against
the Mall of America or any other domestic commercial shopping
center. And I think what the Secretary is trying to say what
he is, what's his what's his responsibility to say? I think
the American people should, should remain vigilant. And if
so
you get the you get the idea. Big mistake. And while the White
House was trying to cover up this obvious faux PA, Johnson
goes out. And I don't know, where did this guy come from?
Where did we find
out? You mentioned that this is really looked into why we should
look into just a bureaucrat that's been around, let's check
it out.
It's possible he has one of those big like football rings on
which is I find very annoying on men in suits.
Always got one of those big giant, like Super Bowl
ring or whatever. Yeah, you probably know quite like that.
He went on ABC with the Stephanopoulos and just said as
a lawyer, my view, surprise
13 and a half years ago, and we were attacked on 911, we were
attacked by core al Qaeda through a relatively
straightforward command and control structure where they
would train operatives in their camps, dispatch them, send them
overseas to commit attacks.
Wow. And we couldn't stop that relatively simple command and
control system.
We're now in a different phase that is more complex, more
decentralized, more diffuse, which involves pretty effective
use by these groups of the internet of social media of
print. And so we've got to bring to this a whole of government
approach, which
includes a whole of government approach. It's just another one
of those things that that keeps being reiterated which just
makes no sense. You have the EPA in there and doing this, who's
gonna who else is going to be helping,
countering violent extremism here at home includes law
enforcement, charging people with material support, as well
as the military response. And the reason I think we're all
concerned about this is because it encourages independent actors
who could strike with very little notice to our
intelligence community or a law enforcement community, here at
home. And so
none of the time
you had not only does it happen all the time, but they never
seem to be able to stop it. So I don't know what good this is
gonna be
doing another entity here at home. And so that's one of the
reasons frankly, why why it's imperative that we have a budget
which was due to expire at the
end of the week. Okay. Very good.
Okay, here's the background is how he got into the position
he's in on January 8, he was he was the general counsel for the
Defense Department is given the job by Obama in 2009. He's been
around in moving him up delays a bureaucrat. He's a lawyer turned
government stooge.
Ah, yes, stooge.
Now to a dentist, he did
say something. And I think this I don't know where if this was
CNN, trying to localize this problem, and I have a funny,
another funny clip about this. But the whole idea is, hey, if
you don't if we let Department of Homeland Security run out of
money, then your local law enforcement runs out of all
kinds of groovy grants.
That's not true. Well, he listened to what he says
as long as we're continuing resolution, we cannot find new
grants
or this was a Speech new grants Yeah.
A non Disaster Assistance nature so we fund several billion
dollars a year in grants for land security to state and local
waste money is the bulk grab it in my little town my little
local town here has gotten a bunch of these grants and all
they bought were the just horrible looking militaristic
police cars.
Is it the challenger?
No, no, it's no I don't know. Austin has the challengers. Five
sexy. Well, we got a bunch of these things
that look badass. affordable for military vehicles driving
around. We used to have friendly looking cop cars, black
and whites. Yeah, black and white.
So now we got these seams with a huge battering rams in front and
light. Now you're talking the sky. You think hell's breaking
loose one of these guys turns these things on lights them up.
But Joe has more
to sheriffs,
police chiefs, police commissioners, mayors and
governors. Apparently he has he gives grants to mayors and
governors. This is all this money just flowing right down
sounds like bribery to anybody does to me for Homeland
Security for their surveillance equipment, their communications,
equipment, their things vital to Homeland Security, are taking
with FY 15 money as long as we're on a continuing
resolution. And so as long as we're on a CR a greatly
restricts our ability to do the things that we good
for the American public. Yeah, like raping us that so this idea
of local government grants for local protection was picked up
by and now she's the vice chair of the Appropriations Committee.
I did not realize this is Senator Bukowski, this moron
woman. She's Democrat from California. She's the one that
looks like the the lady from poltergeist come to the light
Karianne
Oh, yeah, this I seen this woman she's a horror she looks she's a
nasty looking woman
for not only that, the things that come out of her mouth, and
she's only she's on the Appropriations Committee. You
have to wonder, why is this woman representing anybody,
anybody
need to pass the Homeland Security, fiscal appropriations
for 2015 we have the right money in the price to be able to do it
with the right policies to be able to do this. What? And when
we talk about defending America and defending our homeland, it
comes back to local communities, to our local law enforcement,
and to our local fire department who were on the first scene, any
scene anytime? 24/7
I thought she was gonna say six at that point. Our local This is
the fire department, our local fire department are on the
scene. Any scene? 24 567
Yeah, that she had it. She was using her fingers to get it.
What is she saying? The fire department now stops terrorism.
I'd like to know what happened to the Democrat party. It was
the Republicans who put all this stuff into play and all the
progressives and liberals law is a police state. These nasty
bastard Republicans are shithead shitheads. What are they doing
to this country? Now these guys are more blood thirsty than the
Republicans.
Let me tell you something really bad. I so CNN apparently has a
newscast for schools, which is
airports. I'm sorry, an airport is a different one.
But this is the Scholastic one for I think it's middle and high
school. And how can this I don't know if this has actually shown
I should probably research this. How many schools show the CNN
special school news report. But how can this be healthy for our
children? This is CNN
STUDENT NEWS current events for middle and high school
classrooms with zero commercials with Carl Azuz. Today's show
starts with coverage of a threat. The Al Shabaab terrorist
group, which is based in Somalia is telling terrorists to attack
shopping malls in the US the United Kingdom and Canada. Al
Shabaab is linked to the al Qaeda terrorist network and it
carried out an attack at a mall in Kenya in 2013. That killed
dozens of people.
This latest statement from Al Shabaab, this is the
news for schools for kids. were scaring the kids. Yeah, just
scaring them and the show maps
is make the kids nervous wreck so they need to take drugs.
Yeah.
For flex the new phase we've evolved to in the global
terrorist threat in that groups such as Al Shabaab ISIL,
publicly calling for independent actors in their homelands to
carry out attacks. Yeah, well beyond
what I said to so many al Shabaab aliens around the United
days they're going to be carrying out attacks
are these groups would send foreign operatives into
countries after being trained someplace
where to stop. Give us one example of that happening here
in the USA. Besides these phony baloney things that were lone
wolves that were set up by the FBI get what? Give me one lone,
single. One example of one of these events in the United
States says has apparently been going on for a while they've
been planning this but give me one command.
Shoe bomb, no. But Times Square bomber. Times Square bomb. ISIS
uses social media. I'm sorry.
glof, by the way. And by the way, the Time Square bombing was
caught by civilians. Yes, the great the great security
apparatus didn't do crap about it. So happened to the fact I
just wanted
to raise the issue that it is not okay. To have 10 minutes of
terror news for children in school.
Yes, then they can't even balance a checkbook. Meanwhile
elementary students were doing a what was this? Was this Oh, that
was Japan doesn't count. Forget about it. Here is everyone was
all over anything. We could do anything we could say about, you
know, just frightening the American public and subsequently
the world because this doesn't stop here. James Comey, former
Board of Directors of HSBC, the corrupt money laundering, drug
running mega bank, mega bank, who is now Ben, he's a
prosecutor, lawyer prosecutor. He famously threw Martha Stewart
in jail. Good job. So he's the man for terrorism. And he had a
you have
a call. Yeah, keep talking.
You know, there's a ringer. You can probably shut it off. And
you're talking to somebody? No,
no, I'm just saying if there was anyone on the line, it's a dead
call.
All right. I Comey maybe a month or so maybe six weeks ago, said
that he report. He says there is ISIS lone wolves inspired lone
wolves in 49. States. Yeah, no, I've
got these clips. He didn't
have Alaska. to Alaska has now has now been added to the list.
ISIS uses social media like a job fair.
Have you noticed this? Yes. Yeah,
I'm picking up gigs everywhere. Yeah, Job Fair. At all. It's
300 people in line.
Job jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote
for jobs. ISIS uses
social media like a job fair. That he says is how terrorists
snagged three New York men the latest to face ISIS charges. Now
remember, this is the FBI who are the inventors of the six
week cycle. A couple of days early. We march 1 was supposed
to be the date for the six week cycle. So they came they came
with it a bit early
was the best they could do is pretty pathetic. It really is.
If
you read the New York Times I have the second this is the
description to young men living in Brooklyn were arrested
charged with plotting to travel 1000s of miles to fight under
the banner of the Islamic State.
Well, before you get off the Comey thing I do have this clip
you gotta play. Do you want me to finish this one? Well, this
is the Comey. This is the Comey clip talking about this. Well,
he's
about to talk about it. Oh, okay.
Let's say I have homegrown violent extremist investigations
in every single state. Right until a few weeks ago, there was
49. States Alaska had none. Check couldn't quite figure out
that Alaska is now joined the group.
They know who it is, then they there's a guy and a guy go get
him go get him. So we have investigators that
just as another version of the same clip he keeps. This is his
theme for the week. I want you to play this because this is on
Anderson Cooper show. So he plays the clip, and then he
throws it. And here she comes. This is like so pathetic. Fran
Townsend CIA girl comes on to add a little embellishment. I
have homegrown
violent extremist investigations in every single state. And until
a few weeks ago, there was 49 states, Alaska had none. She
couldn't quite figure out. But Alaska is now joined the group.
So welcome, Alaska. We have investigations of people in
various stages of radicalizing in all 50 states.
It's really interesting, I
think, for a lot of people to hear that because you don't, as
much as we know about, you know, when we've seen what's happened
around the world, and even here in the United States with a
number of incidents. It's still kind of shocking to hear that,
that in every State of the Union. There are investigations
going on.
And he's he didn't what he didn't say is that in every
State of the Union, there's one in certain communities like New
York There's many more than one, the FBI resource resources are
incredibly stretched. And so it's so important in places like
New York, that they're working with the local police department
to develop sources to develop and to do surveillance and
follow them. And so,
go a friend. Yeah. Fran,
this has been this pile on
Yeah. Well, and everyone was jumping on of course, we also
are still waiting for the approval wasn't for the
ratification of the joint proposal, a joint resolution for
the authorized use of military force and we really need all of
this stuff so but everyone Yeah, you're just it was piling on
piling on piling on every bit there was ex FBI guys, ex
everybody was being rolled out to just talk about this
patients of people in various stages of radicalizing in all
phases
the rest of this report. City the latest plot to blow up Coney
Island Coney Island. Really, this this is this is a good Kony
blow up
you know what yeah, this time to blow up Coney Island. It should
read really scheme authority say by three Brooklyn men now in
federal custody, according to this criminal complaint unsealed
today, the men ages
wide. It's to Brooklyn guys in a guy in Florida and they get
detailed details. 1924 and 30. From Uzbek is 19 years old. He's
not a man, the punk. This is a punk.
He's just a blowhard kid. Yeah,
Dan and Kazakhstan plan to train with militants in Syria hope to
shoot police officers, FBI agents or military members in
the US and even talked of assassinating President Obama
isn't they get this poor schmuck to say that then they've got
something it's so ah, this is so wrong. And just
my version. I think having a little more details. I think
it's interesting. Play three boneheads arrested because they
read from there they read from the script that from the
transcript of the phone calls Oh, nice.
Breaking tonight new signs of the sick ideology. ISIS
infiltrating the United States with Word tonight that there
were three arrests in New York City, and an ominous warning for
the director of the FBI. Welcome, everybody to The Kelly
File. I'm Martha McCallum in for making Callie. So as we continue
to witness these atrocities, these kidnappings these
beheadings at the hands of ISIS, the threat now.
They set the scene.
By the way, I love watching Clayton Morris Natalie Morris,
his husband on Fox talking about this stuff. Like yeah, it's
always beheadings and Clayton and Kennedy now Kennedy who
broke my ass and then TV shoot, she's also on Fox. This is
pathetic. You people are pathetic.
His closer to home today because three men originally in this
country legally. Now face charges to napped here in New
York. They were living in Brooklyn, the other in Florida
to plan to wage Jihad overseas. And if they couldn't get there,
they threatened to kill Americans one of their target,
the President of the United States. It comes on the same day
that the FBI Director reveals his agents are inspecting and
investigating suspicious people in pretty much every corner of
America joins us now with a full report from our West Coast
newsroom. Hi, Chase.
I think you could have cut that hole opening.
I'm sorry. You're right. Sorry. But
here we go. Here's the actual report. That is fun.
I'm Martha The FBI says Plan A was for the men to join ISIS
maybe hijack a plane to Syria Plan B.
hijack a plane to Syria. How do you do that? Just walk up Deuter
Oh, this is not
a it was to launch terror attacks in the US to bomb Coney
Island and possibly kill FBI agents. The criminal complaint
says the youngest suspect 19 year old awkward side of metal
from Kazakhstan said quote we will go purchase one handgun
then go and shoot one police officer boom. Take his gun
bullets and bulletproof vest. Then we will go to the FBI
headquarters kill the FBI people. The two other suspects
from Uzbekistan had other plans for Duracell gerbil have wrote
on an Uzbek website quote. Is it possible to commit ourselves
you know, I would just like to see one blink to the Uzbek
website. That's all it's not a huge journalistic feat that I'm
asking for. Please show me the Uzbek website. What is it Uzbek
WordPress or what what what is
wordpress dot?
What exactly is your Uzbek website? This is so crap
or a bowl of wrote on an Uzbek website quote is it possible to
commit ourselves as dedicated martyrs anyway while here yeah,
I'm saying is to shoot Obama and then get shot ourselves. Will it
do? Jeroboam was gunning for Obama to avenge The US
airstrikes against ISIS. The FBI had the suspects under
surveillance for months but New York Police Commissioner William
Bratton says this was
real. It's real. Oh, you should have told me it was real.
Real sorry. By the way, I just want to do a little side note
here. This Martha McCallum who took over from Megyn Kelly for a
couple weeks is an idiot. She and I have a small clip very
small. This is the brain dead Martha with Dana, Dana Perino,
the cute little X.
Yeah, she spoke tall. Yeah.
Dana Perino. I just have a small clip and tell me what's wrong
with this clip.
Why not say we'll meet behind closed? Well, there's no
question about that is ridiculous, because when they
were doing late in the game, and that was not their initial
response. It's
Netanyahu didn't set the deadline of the Iran talks to be
right by his election. We did that. And so when rice and
Carrie are actively campaigning against Netanyahu in America,
they're the ones who are making this more political than he is.
Tina, thank
you very much. really odd situation. We're gonna see how
it plays out. Good to see you. Thanks, John. Five. Thanks,
Tina. Coleman up tonight also just
calls her Tina. Tina, why she called Tina for coming in. She
makes a Perino Tina for a Dana. Oh, okay.
Wow, Tina Mab. Well, it happens.
It does happen but shouldn't happen. I gotta wrap
this up with so there were some hearings and again, bringing out
retired dudes onto the onto Capitol Hill. General John Allen
retired.
Oh, that guy. And this guy. It's so I was having the affair with
the guy that was right girl was having the affair with the other
with
Yeah, betray us
is betray his
girlfriend.
No questions about that, unfortunately. But you get who
was this? I forget who was asking
John out I think was kicked out because of that.
But now he's he's like some expert witness when when they
need to? I think just to have answers that
when I'm an expert witness was i because they tried to demean me
as much as they can. The other side. Oh,
no, this is all thank you for your service and everything. But
it's kind of it's kind of interesting. So he kind of gets
wrapped up, he gets caught in his own words. So we're gonna
start off by you know, of course, we know everything.
Yeah, we're tracking and we know, we know everything. And
but we really maybe don't know. Well, I've heard it.
In your testimony. You say that? ISIS has lost half its Iraq
based leadership. How do we know that?
Good question.
I'm sorry. So you're getting your questions. Joe? Shit,
what did? Wait a minute. This wasn't what we rehearsed. You
said you that ISIS has lost half of its Iraq based leadership.
How do we know that we have pretty good intelligence for the
weekend, we
actually do have pretty good intelligence that is retired.
Is that in the CIA or anything? But
he but what he says if you listen, the question is do we
have pretty good intelligence? He says, Yes, we actually do
have pretty good intelligence. What is that? I want outstanding
intelligence. I don't want pretty good. But he's just
repeating the question because he does. And then he then he
goes on to not know really how pretty good the intelligence is.
I'm sorry. So you're getting your questions,
sir, that ISIS is lost half of its Iraq based leadership, how
do we know that we have pretty good intelligence,
we actually do have pretty good intelligence. In the process of
tracking the, the elements within the senior echelons of
within the process of tracking the senior elements within the
echelons of the Speak English man,
I suppose leadership. We have been tracking racking and
systematically as we're able to find them dealing with them,
you know any of this. What is out?
He doesn't know any it is bring these
guys up and they say anything? Yes. What do you want to read?
We go down. We gotta have all expensive we put you up in a
hotel fly in first class. That's the coach. Sorry, you have to
upgrade yourself. Come on out. And we'll have dinner
and we'll we'll get we'll get your meeting with some you know,
like some senior guys so you can hang out. So
as you meet with some of the consultants that work. Well, who
does he work for right now? Well, let's find out. You can
keep playing and I'll look him up. Okay,
we're able to find them dealing with them. You also
said that in the last six months, we have amply
demonstrated ISIL is little more than a criminal gang death cult,
which now finds itself under increasing pressure sending
naive and gullible recruits to die by the hundreds what's
what's your evaluation of the accretion versus degradation
ratio? I mean, how many people are coming into the battle
actually being drawn in without
his his smoke coming out of this because he was just asked what
is the accretion versus the that was a good good sentence by
the way as he was just maniac asking these questions
by the hundreds what's, what's your evaluation of the accretion
versus degradation, the accretion
versus the degradation. I guess he wants to know if we're oh,
wait a minute hold on. If we're saving or creating G hotties
after retiring he on the on this largest September Let
me guess let me guess this is one of the Homeland Security
consultancy group is similar
United States appointed General Allen as Special Presidential
Envoy Oh, Global Coalition to Counter ISIL.
What he should know is, well, yeah, he should be okay. So he
should know if there's accretion versus degradation of recruits
to ISIL. Which is if it's so is the line trending up or down? I
think that is the question. I guess. That's the question.
Let's see if he
do it. Ask that specific just like that sounds better
when you use a word like, across regions? Yeah. Krishna is has to
sexy it's a Wall Street word ratio. I
mean, how many people are coming into the battle actually being
drawn and recruited? by what they see an ISIS versus the
people that they really are dying?
Well, I think that's a difficult number to write. I
mean, if you said you tracking everybody is negative. More, I'm
struggling here. What
are you asking me joining the fight versus what were able to
show up for the meeting?
That's right. Did you not read your briefing? To say
that, you know, I know all this stuff. Just I don't just ask
ask away. It says, I can I can wing it. I can wing it. And then
this comes out joining the fight versus what we're able to
say two things. The numbers are up.
The numbers are okay. All right.
John, the numbers are up. The numbers are up.
What does that mean? accretion decrease money.
Yeah. And the numbers are up because we're now tracking the
numbers in ways we haven't before.
What? Well, that doesn't mean make sense. So you just tried to
warn him that says the numbers are up because now we're
actually counting.
I think the numbers are also because of the so called
caliphate that has created the kind of thing some respects
magnetism for those elements that want to be part of this.
They want to support this. This emergence within the their own
sense of their faith. Hey, general guy,
you're talking shit.
This guy has given it this guy got this job. It's apparently
just part of the drinking club. He doesn't know anything. And
they drag him out. And I'm sure he gets chewed out for this. We
dragged you out for this one time you don't do anything we
pay a good amount of money. You can't even get us right you can
wing it
wait until you hear this one. So this is the another obvious
question. How do we defeat ISIS ISIL is how do we defeat it?
These are the things he should have readymade answers for but
you actually see it you have to it would be nice if you can see
the video. He makes this face like really? Dude you're asking
me this it's really funny to watch his face like why are you
doing this to me man it relies on territorial check it out
games and are holding on territory
is that part of defeat is denying them all territory
absolutely destroy that so they can caliphate no longer exists
me. So we're talking about pretty much decimation right.
That's what Secretary Kerry that was the word he used decimate,
you know, a few.
I love the word decimate because the true definition of the word
is to kill every one guy for every 10
Yeah, so decimating that would be killing a 10th of 10%. Is
that gonna help
and for some reason, this is now accepted as decimated means in
people's minds that you're bringing it down to 10%. To be
but it's not. It is truly every 10 Guys, it's just just a
definition of one out of 10 Do you gotta think that they meet
that doing this on purpose? Yeah, we're gonna decimate them,
which is not a lie, we'll kill 10% I think that they're doing
it on purpose, John. That's what I would do. decimate good word
word, word we understand the enemy you
know, few people scattered maybe around the world pretty well
decimation. That's not exactly what I'm hearing out of you.
Well, we can apply whatever term you'd like to decimation is
clearly one of the terms that we might apply to it. We want them
to have no operational capability in the end. That
means breaking them up into small organizations here kind of
don't have the capacity as it begins to attempt to mass to be
a threat to find a small organization.
He's defined small organization the guy looks at him like
really? Really dick. Why are you Why are you pushing me through
this ringer? Come on, you know, I'm here to just make it all
just come on, man. Don't ask these questions.
I'm gonna get I'm just trying to get some sense of what we mean
by being an addict to me it sounds great. You know, deny him
operational capabilities. Are we talking about taking 30,000 down
to 518 30,000 down to 10,000 broken up into 10 It
will take time will take time that will to ultimately be
realized in a number of ways, it'll be by breaking up the
organization through kinetic and military surface terrestrial
means it'll take time to produce the message and the
attractiveness that gives it the capacity to regenerate its
forces. It will take time ultimately to deny it access to
the international financial system that gives us the
capabilities of restoring itself or
generating that take time.
I don't know. I mean, this is some as enemy we're up against,
hmm. You can't even
find their bank accounts or abilities,
all of those things together. If we deny them that access, if we
can defeat their messaging in the information sphere, we can
break them up into small groups that can't mass to be
operationally significant, then that's defeat.
Wow. Wow. Good luck with that. That's really quite Oh,
that's the most meaningless
answer I've ever heard. Because he has no absolutely no answers.
It's just a big show. A big farcical farcical show. I have
to show you this one image. Was it was it Thursday, maybe it was
last Thursday, that we had the new ISIS ISIL I think it was an
ice they called ISIS ISIL video with the multiple cages of all
these different people, that it'd be burned alive. And this
is where the guy with the mic cube. This is the new this is
the new ISIS with the mic flag. And but there was I got a tweet
from someone and there's a screenshot which you have to
see. Go to this URL, ITM dot i m slash ISIS cage is is C A G. And
look at the screenshot here, of the guy with the fly with a mic
cube and he's telling
me blacklisted, this domain has been blacklisted.
How can that be that must be blacklisted on on your short
your
URL has been deleted from our record? Who's saying
this? What Genda I just worked for me.
Well, it didn't work for me. I got a big no agenda logo. And it
says you did no agenda.
I think you've been blacklisted. blacklisted that you've been
blacklisted.
Well, then you blacklisted I didn't blacklist
you I don't control this domain. Okay, go to ISIS cage.no agenda
notes.com. Damn it damnit. Okay, are you there?
yet? Okay. You have to remember that when I type in stuff, I
have to do it with one finger at a time because it's way behind
behind the microphone and all the gear and I have to reach out
and I'm sorry to type
alright. And here you will see a screenshot of what do you see in
the screenshot Did you get it? Did you
get the screenshot? There's a K. That is unbelievable.
It describe what you see.
Okay, so there's a guy in a cage and there's a guy with the
microphone and his little thing around it. is m 58. Probably a
clone. Yeah. And then just you see just over his head the lock
that's holding the cage to keep the door from opening he's got
the key in it hanging there with Angela
keys dangling, dangling.
This is I mean, come on. And you know what? heads will roll? This
is the thing that they're undid. They're underestimating. Because
eventually there's no way you can really fool everybody in in
internet world you're going to make mistakes and they're going
to be picked up it's going to happen and this is
no the like the smallest of small errors can
be picked up. Yeah, and this
is this has got to be one of my favorites. I really do I really
do enjoy the little key hanging out there stupid. So stupid.
Okay, so this has been spun into the six week cycle
there's still an opportunity over the next seven days for
something bigger to happen. But I get the sense that Coneys is
something of a slouch and I don't think he knows how to set
up these like you know moolah and these other guys have you
had a clue? You know they had a black ops thing going on and it
was probably
a good point. I think he probably he thinks
this is this is he thinks is a good one. Yeah, he has no idea
that I'm gonna this will be good.
He hasn't studied the all the previous bull crap. six week
cycle. Things that have been said
nonsense. Yeah, like that guy and the guy. My favorites that
got burned to the burn to death in the Los Angeles hills. And
then they bring out all his weaponry that is just priceless.
Christine was never even in a fire. How could it be there for
Steve? Well, this I think coincides nicely with what
happened with John Kerry John Kerry He was testifying before
Congress and said that it's not a big deal what's going on here
in the world and, and Fox again, who seems to be the most
bloodthirsty network. This is here is the one two punch here,
play the clip fox goes nuts over over Kerry's comments,
jokey beach in Libya. Yet today, Secretary of State John Kerry
said this
truth is that not withstanding the threat of ISIL,
notwithstanding people being beheaded publicly and burn
publicly in the atrocities that they are perpetrating. And it is
a serious, serious challenge to us. Not withstanding that there
is actually less threat and less probability of people dying and
some sort of violent conflict today than at any time in human
history. Really.
Mark Sisson joins us He's former chief speechwriter for President
George W. Bush and a Fox News contributor. How can John Kerry
say that mark? What on earth
is he talking about? I mean, that is just absurd. I mean,
aside from that we that you think of the ratings more on
Showtime your air
200,000 trees have died in Syria, while this administration
sit on the sidelines, it did nothing. He said, it's less
likely than ever, that someone's gonna get killed in a conflict
Tell that to the families of the Americans who were beheaded by
ISIS.
How many families there is were beheaded by
ISIS? tons, one to all we don't even know
300 million people in this country? How many? So caring
steps in it by saying, you know, what should we say on our show?
More or less? You know,
this is the safest time you've ever lived ravenous bull
crap where sewer saved quit being so panicky. And it was
very
strange. It was the end, because I watched the it was three
hours. This guy, and it could have been an hour and 45
minutes, but it's the way he talks. He talks. It's just he's
so ultimately annoying.
Well, he says this at the end. And so now Fox in particular the
I mean, you just have to wonder about these and so the guy that
I always thought was at least you know it kind of an
intellectual about the whole thing Charles Krauthammer gets
into a beef he's on the Bret bear show and he's all over this
and they they do a segment on it. And he says the following
this idea that we are not in the middle of a world war it's not
the Battle of for Dawn, it's not the day is somewhat irrelevant.
The real issue is where what's happening to American influence
what's happening to American interests and what's happening
to American allies and adversaries. The other guys are
on the march you see it in Iran you see it across the quickest
Shiite crescent you see what happened in Yemen the panic
evacuation of a US Embassy and they are pretending that our
threats are lower their own heads of intelligence have
spoken to Congress and said that the hair stands on the back of
their heads as a result of the threats that they are seeing and
it is the highest
level boo the hairs on the back of their neck is standing up
because they look at the budget and they say Oh, more money we
need more money
I did like carry asking for more propaganda money. I thought that
did you see this part?
No, you have a clip.
Russia today can be heard in English. Oh, do we have an
equivalent that can be heard in Russian?
Yeah, no, no, we don't always have Americans it's I don't
think it's in Russian. No, I don't think there's any Russian
language it's all in there and liberty Free Europe Liberty
Liberty radio now.
It's pretty expensive proposition. They're spending
huge amounts of money with with you know speaking languages that
other people understand and putting out information that
other people understand other countries.
Not only is it in Russian but I
went for it. Okay, well then he's full of crap. When he was
asking money for to increase the propaganda
broadcast from money constantly these people this is
for the this is a bill that was put in for the broadcast Board
of Governors. This is to increase I think we talked about
this a couple months ago. This is to increase the the
propaganda budget. It's way up there.
Scott turned off Voice of America in April last year.
There you go. That's what he's bitching about. Here's our
T refuting this. It's kind of funny. They put numbers to their
operation and to the broadcast Board of Governors
about RT spending a lot of money. Let's just look at the
facts. And those are completely open figures. Our T's budget for
2015 It's not a secret stands at two 100 $20 million.
I didn't know that. We could use that kind of dough. Yeah. $220
million. Not a secret. Well,
the budget of the BBG for the very same year stands at $721
million.
That's the broadcast Board of Governors. So they got to they
got a nice little chunk of change there.
Yeah, we should just go do that. Now here. Let me let me finish
my little bit here because it's amusing. I just wanted a punch
line I just got cameras on and on is pounding the drum war war
we're gonna do all die is horrible. The world's never been
worse. So they have this they have a George Will on who is the
other voice, you know, conservative writer that has
been around forever, but you don't see him anymore because
he's been sidelined. Because of because he is kind of the voice
of reason. He's at least now. He says, Yeah, this is bullcrap. So
he comes back, he's on this panel after there's another guy
there, which is very similar another tub Thumper. But Will is
the voice of reason and he's already said once that he thinks
this is that would carry said it's probably true. It's a safe
world that we're in compared to where where it used to be. So he
comes in with it with the follow up the crowd Heimer. And then
they cut this face goes the same way before they can finally
close it. Krauthammer jumps in for a last gasp gasp little
punch.
Still by whatever metric you want to pick. It does seem to me
that the danger of a human being on this planet, dying from
organized military force and violence is exceptionally low
today. So you're buying the carrier's debt. By and large.
He's right between, as Charles said, everything's fine. And
we're an imminent peril. There is a middle ground and that's
where we are. Next up. Oh, go ahead. Wait until Iran has the
bomb that will change radically
until they've had the bomb man. Oh, let's ask Miss USA about
that.
All right, Judge number one Manny Pacquiao your question.
If you will give him 30 seconds to deliver a message to a global
terrorist. What would you say? We need to kill them. We need
to bomb them.
Amen. Fist bump. Perfect. Nice. Yeah, that's a good one. That's
a good one.
Man, here's Lindsey Graham. He has a different opinion.
I agree with the Texas judge who said that the executive orders
were illegal. I hope Republicans will come together and that the
court case file or friend of the court brief with the court.
This is of course, this is all going to end. The funding bill
was passed by Congress and they slipped in a whole bunch of
stuff to stop the so called amnesty, whatever politics as
usual. Lindsey Graham not on board with that. He said no, no,
we have to we have to fund DHS because we're going to be killed
people
and fund DHS. I am willing and ready to pass a DHS funding bill
and let this play out in court. The worst possible outcome for
this nation is to defund the Department of Homeland Security,
given the multiple threats we faced our homeland now will not
be part of that. Okay, you won't be but can you get through the
house? Time will tell I hope my house colleagues will understand
that our best bet is to challenge this in court, that if
we don't fund the Department of Homeland Security, we'll get
blamed as a party. And to anyone who's watching the world as it
is. I've never seen more terrorist organizations more
safe haven. We're more money. We're more capability to strike
the homeland than I do today. And that's a direct result of a
failed foreign policy by President Obama as
right. Ready to strike the homeland. The Homeland homeland
home hinterland Hi, I'm Lagaan. Hi, Pile.
Homeland homeland i guess
from some science fiction or something when I was a kid they
word homeland. Now we didn't use that was never used no homeland.
Like it's
the homeland. It's a Nazi thing. Yeah, it's
a very fascist sounding thing. Yeah,
of course. I'm
father of the Fatherland. I was
watching I put it in the in the show notes. Because it's about
an hour it's a Disney produced propaganda movie, an animation
really about the Nazis and how the Nazis came to be and it's
really although it doesn't have subtitles and a lot of German
and the German is is hotdogs is very, very understandable. If
you speak a little bit of German actually, I turned on the
YouTube closed caption that was pretty hilarious. It finds
English words. I didn't know that. That's how it worked. But
it finds English words for the German that's being spoken on
screen very, very strange. But they Have all of these, like,
first Hans goes to kindergarten, which is exactly like in
America. I've seen how he learns. Yeah. And then it's
highly Atler Heil Hitler.
There's a overdubbed version of it around that
is probably funny. Or is a serious overdubbed version?
No, it's a good. I mean, not not a funny one node that does that
date put out one that has in English.
All right. All right. Well, I think we should. There are a
couple of the big topics and things happening today,
including some packet equality votes, and we'll get to that
after I thank you for your courage and say in the morning

but just wait until it's like Alexa order that really
expensive thing for Adam.
Yeah, little little order it. Yeah, no, this is not good. This
is this.
Just imagine a television show can do this. If everyone buys
into these, I don't understand. It is a huge security hole that
no one talks about.
I've talked about it since the 80s. Well, I have always talked
about it when InfoWorld comes where you say that the following
lines just reuse it because they were talking about voice
recognition or we're gonna have voice recognition. And I said
here's the problem with voice recognition. You have a large
office somebody runs into the office and yells format drive
see it's good that's how old the joke is. Right format I'm seeing
right you win you win the internet with that one.

You set for Ghazi in Westland, Michigan $200. Long note I've
been listening to your show for about a year and have not
donated since Uncle Sam has released some of my stolen
slavery. wages I've decided to pass on the fortune. I've
watched twit on and off for years and now we saw John
plugging the no agenda show cheese How much do I have to do
to get somebody to listen really last year I finally became which
by the way says to me that again the internet is not the greatest
sales tool in the world. Last year I finally began became
curious and excited to give it a listen. I had distanced myself
from a certain scene seller after he had David I had to
David icon trying to convince the viewers that the elites were
lizard people. So that, you know, we're not completely I'm
not in on that. So you know, you never know. So to come upon a
show that was cynical and reasonable made me overjoyed. It
also helped that you made me laugh, where the seeds cellar
was depressing. If you could, they would say yes, yeah,
there's a Mr. Humor. If you could sell ads to the seeds sell
it there'd be no telling how many people would get you to get
the hit in the mouth. You would get hit in the mouth. I've
started listening to your show from the beginning. I'm gonna
show 140 I want to do address your deconstruction of the
Muslim women talking on Rachel Maddow show and she was talking
of Muslim kids being executed Adams said wait a minute I
missed the kids being executed knew Yeah, a lot of
people sent this in is because it was a little more Cavalier
than this specific example. What state
is that? Is that taking place in well indeed Adam miss that news
and I was surprised it was not even mentioned on the show last
week and week before February 10 Three Muslim honors students
were killed execution style on Chapel Hill it will I don't know
that they were killed execution style and there was a set was a
Chapel Hill then they weren't kids or adults young adults to
begin with so I this is not not this is not a your arguments not
valid. a newlywed couple are not two kids. Anyways, but there was
a condo district just and by the way, the thing that was never
mentioned on the Rachel Maddow show I don't know if you know
this, but that guy, huge Democrat and Rachel Maddow fan
that's why this thing never showed up again in the news by
the way, okay, it's very funny. sidelight. This is the the
murder is just there was a local murder. I mean, this is not this
kind of stuff that we talked about on this show. I look
forward to becoming a night soon can I please get a chemtrails
it's real and bingo Boom shaka laka. Thanks for the hard work.
Youssef Hegazi in Westland, Michigan for those you get tax
refund you should chip in and support the show. Yes. It's real
it's real bingo Boom Boom
Thank you very much, youssef.
Yes, it's a funny coincidence that that story is Chapel Hill
is just died on the vine. Because the desert follow it
doesn't fall into the right you know, narrative. The narrative
is the narrative that's not the narrative so it's too bad and
local murder. Sir metal Mike and Underwood are meta in Underwood,
sir metal Mike Underwood in Loveland, Ohio. $200 ITM
gentlemen, once again, I'm participating in the value for
value model and supported the best podcast in the universe.
When last time I donated to become an instant eight back in
episode 666. I humbly ask for some home buying karma my
brother Koren Underwood from Hamilton, Ohio also Jennifer
Garner some home buying karma through his donation, I am
pleased to report back that it worked. It worked. It worked my
family and I have completed the purchase of our first home
regulations and we'll be moving early in March the karma must
have gone above and beyond because I also got a promotion
to pay raises and won a corporate award for my company
Wow since last time, it's if specific karma could do so much
I want to know what general karma where it can go no, I
would like to request we need to kill them for ahead is gone. It
was worth it. And one final note I have never received my
certificate of rings are in they're still not and there
won't be until the middle of March couple more weeks. And
this they come from China and from our somebody I don't know
where they come from, but I think it's they have to be
shipped and then then you can complain. But
it's constantly It's coming It's a check in the mail
checks in the mail. But Eric's on on this day. He's really and
this is partly my fault for not giving him the money to buy the
rings. Oh,
stooge screwed. Stingy scroogie man
get any interest we get like 1.0% interest so if you have
$1,000 to keep in the bank for five years you get a
box back yeah. All right him sir middleman Here's your little
sequence. We need
to kill them. We need to kill them and her head is gone. It

easier. Yeah, my friends probably think I'm a weird weird
dude. And but what the hell? I enjoy it. I just want to say
that I have a girlfriend with autism and probably Tourette's
too hot after listening to you have Tourette's as a superpower.
I started to study my girlfriend's moves a lot more. I
can only say that Adam was right. He was some sort of
disorder have superpowers. My girlfriend is extremely
sensitive to noises and movements. She's also really
quick to catch falling objects. That's
my superpower.
We laugh we should be a baseball player
and a video of her I want to see here too. We
laugh a lot. It's JOIDES Gera secret No. We laugh a lot. And I
love her even more for her superpowers it's not too much to
ask I would like to hear the mac and cheese song a job karma for
everyone and the ice is song with vanilla ice while you're at
it a de Deus the douche the douche me since I had been I've
been banned both the past and current real life in here as a
first time donor but I have been a listener for a while. Dr.
Different from Gothenburg
okay once mac and cheese job karma and the ISIS which I
probably realize,
Oh
Ice Ice Baby. I
know ISIS ISIS baby. For some reason this one always gets
lost. ISIS I don't know why that is here it is. I got it. And
what was the other thing you wanted? He wanted to do douching
right. Okay, and
you've been de deuced
your slaves get Mr. Mac and
cheese macaroni and cheese melted together mac and cheese
mac and cheese mac and cheese
jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs
for jobs. We're about to have dinner. But first, we're going
to share what we're most thankful for. I'm thankful for
my friends. I'm thankful for basketball. I'm thankful for my
family. I'm thankful for macaroni and cheese.
That's what the showing kids on TV. Yeah, of
course. Right up there with Family God neck cheese.
Cheese, right where it belongs. Ah.
I want to make sure that people realize we have a show on Sunday
coming up. It'll be the show 700 And I'm going to bring something
up here just on a donation basis for people who want to donate
$700 to to to help us celebrate. We have one donor who will be
given credit for $700 and he decided that he wants the dual
credit. He did this in advance. But he decided to do a credit in
advance he wants to show 707 He wants to be producer 707 or
something up the road. Right? So he gets his dual producers in
reverse order. Anybody who sends in $700 for this Sunday show in
a couple and you want a second producer ship somewhere in the
future. If you give us the number of the show and then
remind us when that show comes up we will give you a gratuitous
second producer ship
while you're just giving the store away.
Well no I figure if I do we did it for one guy who's who's one
of our rice that is one of our and regular patrons Yes, but
I've why not just offer this to anyone else who wants to do
this? Because it just seems unfair
just saying it's fine. I agree. I think it's a great idea and I
decided
that we're gonna do it for one. It's like you're gonna chew gum.
Everybody gets to chew gum. There you go. Anyway,
dvorak.org/and a help us out.
And a PR mentioned Kiwi Cameron has re upped the best podcast
and universe.com Thank you very much. There was no longer
registered apparently just inspired Yeah.
Boys, anybody could have grabbed it. Yeah,
no, I would have been wrong. That literally are the only ones
who can use this best well it is in the universe technically. He
also continues to pay says I continue to pay indefinitely for
curry and Devorah consulting.com and Korean Devorah consulting
group.com Don't forget the Double D's and we appreciate
that Kiwi can very very kind and thank you to everyone who
supported us today for episode six nine or nine or one before
the big 700 Show which will be on this Sunday. These are
credits are a real you can use them anywhere credits are are
recognized and unlike the phonies in Hollywood we of
course will be very happy to vouch for you if that becomes
necessary for.org/and It's right and we always need you to be out
there propagating are very important formula.
Our formula is this we go out for your people in the mouth
shut up when should we do packet equality?
Well first I want to read a note on one of our grouchy your
boy supporters.
I'm sending you guys his donation for a meager 700
pennies for a couple of reasons but I thought you bastards will
even doubt your bachelor's or even read this damn email and we
sent you seven bucks. Wow. The first and most important of
which is that my five year old daughter was threatened with
suspension from school the other day from making a gun with her
damn pointer finger and supported supposedly shooting
her teacher to five year old. This asinine bit of bullcrap
apparently of fans people nowadays. Anyway this indecent
in this indecency reminded me why I listen to your show.
Because you too So bees aren't afraid are not afraid to call
out these oversensitive douchebags for the douchebags
they are. But you guys are the only ones around not telling us
stupid slaves to shut the fuck up and even actually read out
bitching to the masses at times like this does I'm a cheap
bastard and a poor stupid slave. You know, these notes don't have
to be this profane people. And of course stupid slave. You only
get seven bucks this time, but you'll get more later. But for
now happy with will be happy with what you get. Anyway, it
says he wants to call out the Brush Creek Elementary School
fez douchebags.
And I would say why don't you take that Buzzfeed video that
the President did with the selfie stick. When he makes a
gun with his fingers and goes in the mirror? Why don't you show
that to the school authorities and ask if the president should
be suspended or if he's setting a good example for the five year
old.
A five year old sees the President do that, as she does
it. She's five. And then the school gets irk Yes. That's
actually that suggestion is top drawer.
Thank you. Very good.
Anyway, so a bit of a stick in the mud. But I felt that
anecdote was worth reading.
So today is apparently there's going to be a vote. The FCC, the
Federal Communications Commission will be voting on the
new proposal for rules for net neutrality. It appears to be
exactly what the President's original plan was. I guess the
way it's split up is we have three Democrats, two
Republicans, and three and three. I don't know I thought it
was three and two, I could be wrong. I thought that was only
five commissioners.
But that is to intuit a guy in the middle. So that would be
three and to your right now.
And of course, the only thing that we've been looking at
really is the term lawful content and lawful network
traffic. These are the things that no one talks about or
actually someone I think was on Twitter did someone post a maybe
you did a link to your This is from last year, I believe
may. And I wrote one another year earlier, every time I write
when I get last year against net neutrality scum.
Yes. So
I say in the i Let me just summarize one of the things in
that article, which we'll have linked in the show notes, I
would assume it's in
the show notes, of course.
All along. In fact, I've noticed this with two different things.
One with advertising start with advertising. when the internet
first showed up, people every time any advertising was
condemned, Oh, can't have advertising on the Internet,
this is going to ruin what you did you
know that when I was in the early days, we're talking a
9089 90. And we had the Usenet groups all and I would go in
there and I had at the time I had, I didn't have adam@mtv.com.
I think I had mtv.com, just as email address, and I would post
something in a Usenet group and people be like, go away,
commercial hard, get ruined, go away, MTV. Yeah, just for
posting just for posting.
And then the next thing that came along was as the as the net
group where we saw a lot of
online ticketing airlines. Hey, that's kind of easy. Oh, let's
do that. Anyway,
there was a bunch of complaining by do all this internet's
fantastic. Don't let the government get involved. Right.
Don't let the government get involved. They'll ruin it. Don't
let the government get involved. And then all of a sudden, this
hysteria about net neutrality by all these boneheads and knee
jerks. Well, it's
not boneheads, these are people with very, very specific
agendas. And this 4 million people who commented is all
astroturf. It's this, I think I can probably count 20 Different
lobbying groups that were involved in this on all sides of
the equation. And of course, a lot everybody has, has a stake
for their own personal win. But no one is talking about the
obvious problems with this, which is the now the regulation
we are well, yeah, we are the only ones to I think there's a
few others? I don't think so. I really don't I really don't
think there's any bite I
don't know of any others. But I have to assume that there's been
some over the brain I know, Andrew or Loski at the registers
adamantly against this whole thing, just like us,
but the EFF is all in on it. And apparently Google came in at the
last minute with some, some tweaks and some changes. And
then of course, Google is one of the big has one of the biggest
lobbying budgets in Washington at the moment. Now, I believe
that this is going to there will be probably be a yes vote. And
it will immediately go into court and it's going to stick
around all the way through the elections. The the way this is
set up, it almost cannot pass muster because of the EPA
lawsuit where you just cannot change. A law for for to make
different regulations. This has already been to the Supreme
Court, you cannot do that. And this was the EPA wanted to
regulate greenhouse gases. So just by saying we're going to
jigger title to jigger, which is probably is probably is probably
not a politically correct word, is it?
Sugars used,
I don't know, I'm worried about all these jigger jiggered around
it will go in it's nothing will come of it, but the the
conversation will go on and on and on and on and on. And here's
an example of one of these groups, the Ford Foundation. Now
the Ford Foundation is huge, isn't it?
Very large and somewhat corrupt. Okay.
And what do you what do you base this corruptness on the guys who
run it? DARREN WALKER is the man who runs it. He's the big big
head boss. And they have their version of the of an advocacy
group was net gain. And of course, they all have all kinds
of reasons for for wanting this type of legislation. Here he is
speaking to the speaking to the converted on this issue. And
just last week, I think we all collectively in this room were
thrilled. Chairman of the FCC, announced in his words, the
strongest open Internet protections ever proposed.
And I love it how everyone's just jazzed, I saw a feminine.
That is what he is.
Clap proposal.
Strong, strong open Internet strong his proposal
reflects the input of more than 4 million Americans up and out
in defense of a free and open Internet free.
This is going to be free, John, is it going to be a zero cost
basis or does he mean it's free? As long as it's lawful content
free and open as long as it's lawful network traffic, right,
so
this is this is like what they did with the cable industry
because the idea was to get the prices down and they passed all
this legislation and next thing you know now it's 200 bucks a
month, you know, to have a cable. Yeah. And ultimately are
your internet prices are gonna go up? Oh, yeah. Oh, for sure.
Awesome. This Yes, open
Internet open friends decision, I believe as a direct
consequence of the tireless efforts of many of you in this
room, the organization's you represent not to persuade
suckers and to challenge to evangelize and to inform the
American people that we need to have, the web we want. And the
web we need. All right. So
the web is now what this is all about. It's fun. I want people
to think about that as the web, that's fine. Because the network
itself, you really can't enforce everything that you want. The
network is uncontrollable. But the messaging is it's the web,
it's Twitter, it's Facebook, it's Netflix, this is all that
really counts. This is all that you need. And then please do not
ask for any more when we fail. John, is EFF is another example
that we were all for this great equalizer, this great internet,
it was going to be fantastic. spected. But, you know, I had
some hope. I had some distant hope. And now I'm the CEO and
to do is look at the suckers who are all in on this from the get
go and how Adam, they wouldn't argue the points with any logic.
They were all you know, glassy eyed. It's fair. It's got to be
fair, you know, spewing the same talking points that were fed to
them from who knows who you're probably right is a bunch of
pressure. You know, this was an astroturf thing that worked out
like a champ. High fives going on somewhere. Yeah. Probably at
Comcast. Yeah.
The tumbler CEO David Karp made a huge mistake by going on
television in that was his mistake. Number one, this guy
should not be allowed to speak about any policy. I don't know
why he agreed or who thought it was a good idea for him to go on
CNBC, when you're a CEO. And he's an important CEO because of
the acquisition by Yahoo and the price that was paid. But if you
just type in any expletive, into a search engine, and then space
Tumblr, this is not going to be deemed illegal content. Now
they're doomed. Tumblr is it's just pulled up
put at you can do that anything. Yeah, it was put any perversion
you can think of okay, space, time. And you will have site
after Tumblr site showing graphic pictures of the
perversion to the point where you'll
get animated GIFs
or animated GIFs? Or be 1000s of yes,
this this is a tip from no agenda for all your porn needs
type in porn need space porn tumblers. So he goes on. And he
he is all in on the talking points. But he has no way to
back it up. And this is the this is a great fail from this guy. I
just thought it was funny that he goes on forever. Yeah, David
Karp, the CEO of Tumblr, I
think the way that we see the most innovation is by sort of
separating the layers of the stack. So making sure that John,
we
need to separate the layers of the stack, such as Silicon
Valley. What does that mean? Well, he's going to explain it
the layers of the stack, the stack, don't you to understand
the stack,
I think the way that we see the most innovation is by sort of
separating the layers of the stack. So making sure that
there's a competitive market for carriers when they're competing
to deliver us the fastest best internet that we can get access
to with modern technology. And then on top of that, you have a
free open marketplace of services that can count on to
their point, though, is if you touch
someone like at&t, Randall Stephenson, he will say right
now they have more capital expenditures than any company in
America, they have invested heavily to build their network,
and that if you turn it into a utility, it will not be
profitable to continue investing like that, and that as a result,
things will slip out. Not true. It's just been disproven and
Okay, ask them. How's it been disproven?
Yes. Good. Yes. Not, she doesn't, but what's the guy's
name? Joe Kernan. Just back it up. Yeah. Joe Kernan jumps in
and says hold on a second. What are you talking about? That's
where it gets fun that and that
as a result, things will slow down. Not true.
It's just been disproven. And it's proven to by the the tech
end of it, too, that there's a tremendous amount of artificial
throttling going on right now. They have artificial
throttling, tremendous just everywhere, the
bandwidth. How's it been disproven, any just steamrolled
by but here comes Kernan
for this and there if, if we could move further and breaking
down the near monopoly situation that we have Right now we will
hopefully see even more competition than monopoly
because it's really expensive to
build the pipes. And so you have not had multiple people who will
build pipes to the door
guy can pass not my not my area, but he's but in
general. Get better the industry has had kind of a light touch,
in terms of the government had light touch in terms of this
regulation. Would you say that that's been beneficial in the
past that there's been a light touch or art in general, do you
think heavy handed government regulation is a good thing or a
bad thing for an industry?
I think a bright line rule that spells the sort of,
oh, he's using the bright line rule. This guy is prepped and
good to go. But he's failing
no principles that we believe in. I think the Bill of Rights
is a good thing. Even without getting into the weeds spelling
out something like the first amendment that just says this is
a truth that we we believe.
Let me ask you a question.
I don't I don't see how that's an answer at all. To the bill of
I understand the Bill of Rights, but his
bad behavior under the current laws isn't illegal, unless we're
able to carry it if Randall Stephenson has said point blank,
I'm gonna I'm not going to build out certain things that I was
going to build out I'm not going to finish the stuff for DirecTV,
but then I'm going to Mexico he said How has that been
disproven? How can you tell him he's been disproven that he's
actually not going to do that. I mean, that's just the word you
use. It's just been disproved
CEO of ATT network and elsewhere instead who just talk over I'm
just not gonna I'm not gonna I'm
not gonna I'm not gonna build it that money. I was a huge number
of consumers who are willing to live who are already paying out
the nose for access to the internet, but how
it how has it been disproven that he's not going to actually
pull in on his build out of more
infrastructure. Consumers are demanding faster internet.
So it's been so he's,
this guy should go on Twitter. He's an expert. He is going
to spend money building it out. And he's just lying. Okay, they
aren't they have been right what he's saying now, I'm not gonna
add any additional let me ask you incrementally. He's,
now this. This is the kind of thinking that goes on in Silicon
Valley. Oh, yeah. It's pathetic. But somehow this rally I
love the way he's throwing these these, these short term cliches
and talking, talking words a bright line. These sorts of
thoughts
in the act is in Obama's actual proposal. The word brought
that up from probably Schmidt Yeah. But these kinds of this
this guy is he's not saying anything. And he's a pathetic
classic. By the way, he's probably a billionaire out there
for people I know. He is. I
think I think he did very well on there. So yeah,
sure, sure. I don't even know why he's even involved with the
discussion. Because these guys just go by a palace in Italy and
take some girls and move there.
It's everybody thinks they're Mark Cuban. That's what it is.
That's the Mark Cuban ism that Mark Cuban actually gets. He's
he's the only guy speaking some sense, although he's also a
little
Yeah, Cuban is dead setting. And he realized it what's going on
Cuba is one of the more savvy of the tech guys that ever made a
lot of money.
On vapor. Yeah, he was the best. It was really was a URL. So
broadcast.com for $1,000,000,000.03 was a $3
billion. Yeah, it was nothing. There was nothing there. It was
just some videos. Yeah.
He had actually sold a GE essentially sold the domain name
for $3 billion to Yahoo again, genius. July, you're right about
this Tumblr thing. This thing is going No way. There is no way
they level of pornography pornographic. I you know, just,
well, you're finding your pornographic material that's
accessible by everybody. Any little kid is going to remain on
the internet. They're going to have to shut this thing down in
the end. There's not a blog on there. That's not porn. That's
that's worth you know, if you're a smart blogger, you'd be using
wordpress.com and having some power this is just set up. This
is designed for porn. Yeah, just lots of pictures and animated
GIFs.
And this guy's a douchebag. Yeah. The point being that I'm
pretty sure we'll get this vote. Everyone will be real happy. And
then it'll Of course, it'll be Oh, Republicans don't want net
neutrality. It's so tiring. It's I'm so tired of this game. So I
am getting so tired of it. It will just add it cannot it
cannot pass legal muster what they want to do it just it
cannot do it. So it's all about something that just is going to
be another another talking point for the elections in 2016. It's
just annoying. Saying waste of time
away salted. Wait, Barbara, you this is going to really get you
broadcast.com was sold to Yahoo in April 1999. Don't her 5.7
billion. Wow.
What happens if you go there now? broadcast.com? What's
there?
It probably has an under construction.
Let's, that would be cool. Let's see, what do we have?
broadcast.com Then it goes to Yahoo. Wow.
And it just takes you takes you to Yahoo. A money well spent
as a $5 billion forwarder. Good work. Redirect, man. How about
that? You didn't write that off? How does that work?
That's right. It is your legacy. That's the worst manage company
in the history of Mark Cuban. Someday when they finally go
under. People gonna look back at them and go, what were they
thinking? Wow,
that Hey, Mark Cuban, there's your legacy. You're a redirect
301
They should we should redirect to the Dallas Mavericks. Man.
That is that is something huh? That is something.
Yeah, I think is still the classic,
too, we'll see what what happens. But um, the My money is
on court case, it will not happen, it will not be
implemented. And it will become just another big talking point.
And the Republicans are evil and they don't want net neutrality.
And well, what's
Edward also is going to happen, they're going to people are
going to come to their senses. Because these these schemes only
stay afloat for so long. And then they're just gonna go like
this was gonna I could put this in the book, alright, let's do
this. I like this. It's going to come out. And then there's going
to be read discussions about constraints, 33 pages, people
are going to start going through this and then all of a sudden,
like, Oh, this is not good. This is not good. This is not good.
And then the end result is going to be, well, net neutrality is
great. But this is not what we wanted. This is not net
neutrality, this is not what we wanted. It's not what we wanted.
And then we're gonna go with net neutrality, and then it's going
to die, the whole thing is going to die. And you're probably
right, the court case could should throw it out or keep in
court forever, because they've actually incorporated mobile
data. And the woman from the mobile data operation, who I
think was an ex FCC person, she said, you do that you're going
to be in court for the rest of your
life course, of course. And they added that we had that clip
on the show
was that what was added? That's probably what it was probably
what Google at NBI. It's, it's just a farce, it's a farce. Um,
so I'm just so sick and tired of it. There's nothing there is
nothing that is legitimate reporting anymore. There's
almost nothing
will on that note. So I've got this, I linked to this. I've
subscribed to a couple of operations that have
newsletters, and this is a list of the media and journalism
awards that come out every couple of months. And there's a
couple of deadlines. There's a Society of Professional
Journalists are going to just articles and stuff. And then we
have the Ansel Payne awards for ethics in journalism. And then
there's another award for ethics in journalism. My comment was,
how do you get an award? Is it so rare that you heard in
journalism,
that there's only one guy for it, there's one guy per year who
wins because he had some ethics
award honors journalists who inspire public trust and
demonstrate exceptional journalistic ethics behavior?
Yeah, so he shows a guy who is a I don't know what you hate the
ethics or you don't have ethics exceptional ethics is like I
don't know what that even means. It's just bullcrap. But the give
an award out for journalism, ethics, yeah, to me tells you
all you need to know about journalism in today's today's
world in fact, it's probably been that way more or less
before but now with the internet and it makes it more obvious
that were being toyed with. And again, I think a lot of it does
have to do with you. Your your is advertising advertising
causes the problems. Yes. You have you won't have ethical
issues with with shows that are like ours, because we don't have
any we were directly funded by the listener and a producer. So
we don't have we don't say Oh, well we got to make sure we
don't say anything bad about Harry's razors. Or we don't say
anything bad about you know, this just crazy. Like all right
wing talk shows. Plug this at once security system where they
get your name and they follow it and make sure you don't get your
you don't have identity theft. I don't know what that is. I can't
remember but it's one of these Companies and it's bogus. This
is not gonna work. I mean, yeah, okay with a check a couple of
things. No nonsense. Yeah, well, but you can't you never hear
anybody say anything Oh, no, no, no, no, no can't can't can't say
anything bad about them. Can't say anything bad about Disney.
If you're NBC can't say anything bad about General Electric of
your cbs.
Although it seems that the network wars are just on a tear
of who's lied more about their in their reporting on military.
I think everybody is exaggerated and set
off by those kids to get the measles in Disneyland. And this
is worse than so somebody apologizes.
It's yeah.
And it doesn't help that we have government officials running
some of these networks and or ex government officials or people
married to government officials. The only guests they ever have
on to tell the public what's going on are government
officials or ex government government
officials or spies or sources. I guess it's just sources, which
are
spies and government officials. Oh, yeah. This is those are the
I guess there is an award for ethics in journalism. Oh, let me
see. Oh, this year's award that you will not be given. That's
what's
next. Okay.
So let's talk about Kleiner Perkins talking about ethics.
Oh, okay. This is good nine. Kleiner Perkins. I know
intimately or knew them in a version intimately when they
funded pod show. So I know the players here. Yeah, I know. Bill
door Bill door, Bill door on door as he's now Bill. Bill
door, Bill door and. And this, and this woman who was suing
them for sexual harrassment. Did you run into her? Several times?
And what did you think of her?
Well, I didn't think very highly of a lot of these so called
experts. I remember. There was what was her name? Trey. I'm
gonna think her name was and do you remember the Skype guys had
like some crazy video play? What was that thing called?
All right, it was your channel.
What was that Skype video?
Game video we had to have. Now we have to start with
what was that thing? What was that thing called?
It's like juiced or something. Had some crazy Swedish idea for
a name juiced. It was something that J o s t or something like
that. Yeah. Oh,
juicy. J Oh, I see. You're right. juiced. That is You
nailed it. Good job. Yeah. So you know, we sit in meetings
like, Oh, you guys really should look at juice. The they're,
they're on the cutting edge. This is where the this is where
it's going. This is the future.
Oh, I remember when they were talking to you guys about
that's funny. Yeah, that's what you get. That is Silicon Valley.
It's groupthink.
And then the other thing you get at Kleiner Perkins, the best
example is they were all in all in with the Segway. Rolling
because it's gonna change the world and the Segway is going to
change the way cities are built genius and he's got to kind of
come around the office and say hi, didn't
didn't, didn't the guy who who created the the Segway die
falling off a cliff with a segway?
No, no, that was the CEO of the company finally started
manufacturing good enough. The CEO fell off a cliff a good
enough driving one. Anyway, so they had in the offices of
Kleiner Perkins, every cubicle ever there was a hotbed every
every glassed in office, a little glassed in offices, and
it kind of seen this kind of a standard venture capitalist
setup. They had every single partner had a Segway in the
corner charging.
Yeah, exactly. And then and then they all had the fantastic
electric car, which they then got $500 million from the
government for which caught on fire all the time. The Fisker.
The Flaming Fisker good work.
These guys haven't hit a home run forever. And then the home
runs out it looks like they hit which a lot of people don't
realize the all we did so our investor, they get a there's
like Google. They had nothing to do with Google until it's gotten
to the point where they're gonna go public, then these guys
insist on getting a piece of it.
Yeah, they actually weren't in the Google deal. And then they
had this like midnight. I I've heard the story, but they had a
midnight deal and said we need to be in this deal. We need
Google and there was like somehow they got a billion
dollars worth of stock overnight because they excluded it was Do
you know the whole story how No, I
don't know the whole story. But that is what you said is pretty
much what happened. It was it was a it was a prestige thing
that you have a couple of these venture capital firms that They
they always brag about how they lead the way because the big
money killers for Kleiner Perkins were mostly like
Genentech and Israel years ago. Yeah. Genentech and some of
these genetic engineering operations and then they got the
Netscape that was a Netscape was a big one that was a big one.
And then they became known as the geniuses of high tech. And
they had to get in the Google thing because it look bad. The
optics were no good. The optics sucked, if they were not in the
Google and I think it was
rom Sriram from Sherpa low ventures who brokered the deal,
and I'm just coming back to me, and I think it was with the
Sequoia guys. Oh, I think that's there was some fight. There was
some riff between anyway, it's all bullshit.
They get very excited. Perkins went all green and then a row.
That's
where they had green tech. All right, yeah. Oh, they're
big and they lost their Bay essentially.
They lost a billion on they lost a lot, a lot of money a lot. A
been a juiced thing that was it. They got Randy comas are is like
the genius boy genius there. look him up. He was with Randy
TiVo. He's the TiVo guy. And he wrote, he wrote a book like The
monk and the man or once every new company, every founder of
the company would have to read Randy's book, hey, I wrote this
book. Find his book. And if you didn't know he would be
questioning you know, you had to read his book. Otherwise, you
know, Randy combs the monk in the riddle. There you go. The
monk in the riddle. Everybody had to read that book of life
while making it. So this,
this woman that Adam met, what's her name? I Cambridgeshire her.
Naomi mentioned the report. At some point. She is suing them
because she made a fuss. And California is very rigid about
what you can can and cannot do in a big company. If you're
Ellen Pao Ellen. She was seen she was she was she was senior.
She was got her she moved up to ladders and she was a borderline
partner and she was going to be made part. And then they passed
over because she was always fussing around complaining that
she was complaining about she was left out in meetings and
they wouldn't invite her to parties and all this sort of
thing, which and then some guy tried to hit on her and he was
there was some I guess he was an Indian. That was working there.
Not the big shot Indian that quit. But this other guy who I
guess was something of a douchey guy and he can Hey, you know,
he's always feeling or awkward doing stuff and trying to go in
a room and he did this with all the women apparently. But let's
play. Just some of the reports. Some of the it's in court now
should be entertaining. Let's Play Part One. Yes, it's
very intense. This is a hugely historic case. i It's Kleiner
Perkins is a really respected venture capital firm here. And
Ellen Pao was a really respected entrepreneur. Now she's the CEO
of Reddit, one of the largest websites on the internet. And
she is alleging that she was passed up for promotions and
ultimately fired from Kleiner Perkins based on her gender, and
on her complaints about gender discrimination while she was
there. And so the stakes are high if she wins, it's it's a
very big deal.
Yeah, so Kleiner Perkins at the time for our downfall, you know,
it's time for them to take the fall and they're going to be
branded as misogynistic. airholes, which quite honestly,
they are. Yeah, in my,
my, excuse me,
I'm just remembering something. So Kleiner Perkins always had
smokin hot receptionists
they had some beautiful women in the front
smokin hot receptionist and I forget the the guy was a young
woman forget her name. We'd often be waiting. We have to go
there every week and have, you always have to wait. You have to
meetings, like jumps over the board means show what we're
doing and show the damn charts again. We're spending your money
well, and I would always hang out talking to her. She was kind
of cool. She was snowboarder and whatever. But it's she's, she
has good luck and fun, interesting. Good jokes, and
always be hanging out there anyway. And then as you know,
Kleiner Perkins had these Christmas parties and stuff. And
I got a call from Ray lane. One morning, say I say Ray was gone.
Well, there's a complaint for sexual harassment, really. And
it was this receptionist and she had this whole list of people
who had propositioned her and it was clear that what became
apparent is that she had a history of doing this at
companies and she had pretty much gone to Kleiner Perkins,
and it saw people out and at one point, she had asked me hey, you
want to go get high and like Nah, man, I got a I got a you
know, I got a meeting here. No And but that came back in some
complaints that the I wanted to smoke illegal drugs with her.
And this was a ray Lane senior partner was reading this to me
over the phone say this is insane, right what's going on
with this? So they were targeted and, and but anyway they had
like, I guess they had like as a detective because I saw all this
guy showed up before this complaint came in this guy
showed up and he was like a co receptionist. It was very
strange. So they brought him in as the as people were starting
to suspect something. And he was
no one's gonna notice that. And he was there
to trap her. And she apparently had done this to other
companies.
Yeah, so business should really figure out what companies you
know, especially if you're a good looking woman, you can get
jobs pretty easily in those position. I
was offended. You know, I would never ask someone to go smoking
knowing with me,
let the girls ask you out. It sounds like what happened in
that case?
I never heard anything else after that. But it's a weird
place. It's a weird place.
Well, let's play part two.
I think they're fighting back. I think some of the cases that
we're seeing are so egregious, like what I'm seeing in the
courtroom are a lot of really egregious examples of whether
it's gender based discrimination, or what of
gender issues within Kleiner Perkins are coming to light. So
for example, there was today, the revelation that there was an
all male ski trip in which one entrepreneur said, hey, let's
try to bring some women on this and at a partner at Kleiner
Perkins said, Actually no, on this trip, let's have it be no
gals. And then girls suck. There's another guy
she after your story after your story is possible that they're
getting a little gun shy,
if you bring chicks around you before you know you get sued.
Yeah,
and you would you look at the guy you never took the course I
did on a sexual harassment course that was required of all
of me.
No, I started it. But I wanted to go click click, click, and I
said you're going too fast. You're not reading the pages?
Like no, whatever
the cases that in fact, in California. You could be like,
when you're talking to that shill woman that was the
receptionist. Yeah. It could they could, she could sue
Kleiner Perkins based on something you did, even though
you weren't at Kleiner Perkins employee has happened in
California numerous times. And it can happen after work. And it
can happen at parties. And it can happen in all sorts of
situations. And so it is possible that kind of Perkins
got gun shy and in the process made it worse for themselves
because now they were excluding the females from things that
they have to invite them to
my gym, my general feeling, I will just say this is my general
impression at Kleiner Perkins, is that they liked having hot
women around. And they I feel that the women who were there as
limited partners or junior partners, were token I really
felt that it always felt that way to me. And by so in the
meetings, they you know, they they do their thing. And and
yeah, it was a men's club. And if Yeah, and eventually if you
had a we were at one point, we got tray, when was it last name?
She was the juice girl. And I knew it was over there, they'd
given up on us. Yeah, and I'd seen how they would how they
would treat her opinion in meetings. And I, personally, I
don't want to defame anybody. But I always had that feeling
that yeah, it's a men's club. It's for sure. For sure. For
sure.
Let's trip let's have it be no gals. And then
they go shoot and turkeys and stuff. No gals. There's another
story in which a one partner sort of lured, Kleiner Perkins a
female Kleiner Perkins partner to New York on the auspices of
meeting with an important internet executive. And he
turned out not to be there. And it was just a date between the
two of them. And then that night, he tried to push his way
into her hotel room. And she had to push him out. When she went
to her Kleiner Perkins superiors to say that she'd like this man
not to be on her review board. They actually denied that
request. And, and he was her reviewer. That weekend. So later
he was fired, to be fair, but but I think we're seeing some
really bombshell like events coming out of here. And so I
think the ripple faculty here,
but Nellie Bowles, we're also seeing the company. I mean, the
company is putting up a strong defense, right?
Yes. Oh, yeah. They came out swinging. It's not it. There's
little room to compromise. To put it lightly. They are saying
that Ellen Pao was hired basically as a secretary to do
scheduling and calendaring. And then that she was never up to
the job of being a venture capitalist and just didn't have
the skill set didn't have the interpersonal skills wasn't just
just wasn't capable. All heard. It was very strong language. So
there's little compromise here. Yeah. Nicole Sanchez
back to the industry. Rod. Okay.
Yeah.
It'd be entertaining, I should go down and watch the
or they're going to have some pieces which will be secret
because they say, you know, it discusses how they do their
business which is poor. So we really don't want to.
Well firstly make people wait 45 minutes in the lobby.
And I think that any Kleiner Perkins company should be
boycotted by the by women. Let's start with Google.
Yeah, you're right, is that
that will not happen you're gonna boycott Google because of
this case. No. And most people don't know what a Kleiner
Perkins company is. Hmm, all right. Now it's just it's just
gonna be it's gonna be a phenomenon while we're
on Pedobear there is some fabulous news being pretty much
ignored by mainstream media and this is about the creep known as
Pro Chari. I got to get the guy got the clip. You have the
background here.
I have Well, no, this is the best I can do which is Pujari
Alice's by set for sexual harassment. You give us the
background but this is a short clip just
we'll listen to it. We'll listen to the
top climate scientists for ginger for cherry has stepped
down as head of the UN's Nobel Prize winning Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change amidst an investigation in India over
sexual harassment. A female researcher at putao research
group the Energy and Resources Institute accused him of sending
her harassing email and text messages with cherries attorneys
say his accounts and phone were hacked
but it's much worse than that. This is a high hack. This is a
back this is a bull crap report from democracy now and they love
that guy but they're they're obfuscating that he would the
main complaint is that he would pick people up like a toddler
women like under their armpits. Yeah, that's creepy man. To pick
them up and call them by Nicole little nicknames and, and and
you know, it's just oh man. Do you ever see his picture?
Oh, he's he's a creep.
He's a creep of the highest order you have always asked
people to or you see people with these crazy looking mustaches
and beards or the long hair or whatever in ponytail. But this
guy is so creepy looking. Greasy, greasy, and he looks in
the mirror. I'm always wondering this. This is kind of a point of
interest.
Do you make love? Do you look in the mirror and say
to himself good look in
the front, particularly the beard with a with a white
patching and
his scraggly recei
but this is so he has had to step down in the middle of some
pretty big negotiations. He also wrote a sex novel which people
say kind of, you know the sounds a bit like the main character is
him.
Oh, really? I didn't do this. You got me on that. Yeah,
let me see if I can find a guy find a passage from his from his
book. Very, very, very creepy.
Hold on a second. I have it here somewhere. So
Ciao re novel, passive as this guy via here the racing novel,
and we go written by the top dude.
Let's see if there's your climate change. Climate change
guy. Okay, page 16.
Sanjay is ready for his first liaison with me in a hotel room
and 90 tall.
No, I read it like you were reading a book on tape.
She then led him into the bedroom. She removed her gown
slipped off her nightie and slid under the quilt on his bed.
Sanjay put his arms around her and kissed her first with quick
caresses. And then the kiss is becoming longer and more
passionate. May slipped his clothes off one by one, removing
her lips from his for no more than a second or two. Or your
heart. He removed his clothes and began to feel son jeans body
caressing her voluptuous breasts. The insight the
excitement got the better of him before he could even get started
a preemie. He enjoyed the sensation of gently pushing
Susan's shoulders shoulders back a few inches, an action that
serve to lift her breasts even higher. Climate change is real.
Show me your movies. Lift them higher is creep. I don't mind
sexy books or anything. But come on the guy's a creep. Creep. So
he's out. And then you know, then this should of course, if
this is how he treats people, then why can you trust him with
anything? And as you know, there's been all kinds of issues
with the reports that have high as strange,
guys corrupt, corrupt, he's corrupt, he looks corrupt, he is
corrupt. And this, this is interesting. I'm reading a blog
that is called a dead dog ate my data. And he says, Raji Pujari,
was apparently too busy to check into glacier glacier gate
problems in December. We now know why. And he goes on about
this book. But what was glacier gate?
That was they had put something in about glaciers melting by a
certain date, and it was taken from a press release. It wasn't
even based on scientific data. Okay. One of those little things
that is just overlooked and not really discussed. So why why
bother? Why bother? All I can say Rajiv? Pujari Hey, man, good
for you, man. See ya. Bye. Felicia wouldn't want to be six
times.
I'm going to show my school but Jonah did no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh, yeah. That'd be fun
I think I should read a one of his books on as an audiobook. I
could do that. So
you you, sir. Lucius. You get a little moist? Yeah, well, it's
your you go a little too, into a lower baritone where it's where
it's not quite as clear. I think if you're reading your normal
voice, but I have an enormous, slightly phony version of your
normal voice. Instead of this kind of thing. Yeah, but I think
you
really, really want me to say he then pushed her on her shoulders

stuff about subliminal advertising today. Not today,
but yesterday, and makes me more susceptible to getting suckered
into some kind of train of thought, then you you have less
susceptibility because the TV people are always doing this.
They're trying to oh, they're
trying to trick you. They're trying to trick you into stuff.
Absolutely. I try to stay away from it either.
So it doesn't happen a lot. But I have every once in a while,
bought into some bullcrap. And wanted to talk about it. And at
some level that the TV's we're already talking about it and you
called me out. You've done that to me more than I've done it to
you because I and that's a good thing that we work separately. I
am susceptible like anybody else. So this kind of bullcrap,
because I have to filter it and with all the mechanisms I have,
but other people who aren't just working on a show like this all
the time. They get swept away
they do we did go man overboard, like an undertow just
like we lost our dentist birch I don't think he listens to the
show anymore.
I think we've lost Adam Berg pile who made the original bad
signal which has been broken for months. Yeah, he's been swept
out to sea
washed overboard. Hang on people.
Man overboard. Man overboard. swept out to sea, a sea of
mainstream media dreck. Sad.
Next thing you know they're rooting for Madonna to make a
comeback.
Hopefully slash in a as the karma has requested.

Well where does it say sir Matt arias? Yeah, Sister Matt is
simple enough. Okay,
just back to just because I picked this up I just wanted to
play this This. This is from a podcast, The Guardian pod save a
science, podcast science, the science. Yes, Science, Science
Science. Just to reiterate something we talk about all the
time on this program, particularly when people are
bitching about how are always funding, funding people who are
staunch climate deniers. Except us, for some reason, we don't
see any Koch brothers money. This is they have a scientist on
both brothers money. Yeah, we're my coke brothers money. Here is
I just thought this was nice to pick this up from a US
scientist.
Does that bring up fresh tensions, though? I mean, I
think a lot of scientists will get grants will think they can
just get on with their research, sort of without any kind of
outside interference. But if you're taking money from, say, a
group of billionaires or what have you, then I'm wondering if
they want to have more involvement in the work than a
typical scientists might enjoy.
Every funding source comes with its own strictures. For
instance, right now, in the United States, if you want to
apply for federal monies, you ought to be applying for polar
research, or climate change research. That's where the money
is largely.
Exactly. That's where it is.
Yeah, if you're a denier, you're not going to get any money.
That's where it is. You know, I was reading up a little diving
into some more of this. I liked your assertion that Putin has
failed miserably, and he is not the grand chess master. There is
how I think one thing has changed. They had the the, you
know, the continuing minced Minsk agreement, and I read a
report that Putin and Merkel who speak each other's language,
that they had a private meeting without any translators. No one
was allowed in the room. You remember need translators speak
well, but yes, you don't need them. But there was just no one
in the room was just the two of them.
Yeah, they apparently talk on the phone all the time, too,
although then there's somebody in the room. Right.
But say, but the maybe the but the results, the Merkel that
went to DC and met with the President, I guess, to deliver
the message, and I think the message is back off on Ukraine.
Apparently they only have two days worth of gas right now. If
they don't pay another bill, then Russia turns it off. And
that is gas that also needs to be shuttled through to Europe. I
think this I think if anything, he may have a minor wind on his
hands with ultimately with Ukraine, Germany stopping not
sending weapons to Lithuania and other countries. I don't know.
It feels it feels I think you're right. It's
a minor win.
Yeah, minor. Okay. Yeah. Then we then we're in agreement.
I mean, he is not a stone cold loser. They can't do anything.
Right. He's falls down when he tries to walk. Wow, these little
things that are happening, because he's, he's got a lot of,
you know, advantages. And he's just a I don't see him
exploiting him as much as he can. But I think this is a good
one. I think crazy not to they don't pay their bill. Right.
Just a merchant selling something this guy won't pay.
Carry. When carrier was up on the hill, that was Royce. I
think that Senator Royce, Ed Royce, is he a senator? I think
he is no, I think he's a congressman. He asked a
question, which really made me laugh. Like, wow, okay. It's
such a good question. And Kerry has such a dumb. I mean, he
there's no other way to answer it. You agree with
me that when Russia says there are no Russian weapons or troops
in the Ukraine, they're lying? Yes. Why? Why did they lie?
You're asking me?
Yeah. Yeah. Why would he lie about that, and care that?
You're asking? You're asking me and his tongue was flipping out
like a lizard there was a there's a lizard. He is a lying
lizard. Whenever he's lying, whenever he's bullcrap. And this
is what we know from CIA, when people stick their tongue out to
pretty much signal to you. I'm lying. To tell him my
chairman. Russia is engaged in a rather remarkable period of the
most overt and extensive propaganda exercise that I
really,
really, yeah, it's very successful. Very successful
propagate. Here's Victoria Nuland on how successful it is.
All you have to do is look at our T's, tiny, tiny audience in
the United States to understand what happens when you broadcast
untruths in a media space that is full of dynamic, truthful
opinion.
Their messaging is Raichur Vicki,
what is it? Is it is it big, small? Is it nothing? Is it just
a fantastic campaign back to watermelon head?
Since the very height of the Cold War?
This is since the very height of the Cold War, this propaganda
campaign is just all out awesome.
They have been persisting in their misrepresentations lies,
whatever you want to call them advertising about their
activities, they're to my face to the face of others.
Oh, no, oh, no, you didn't. You did not lie to my face,
my face my face,
because He's the face of America, America.
I thought he meant that website, my face
had been persisting in there misrepresentations lies whatever
you want to call them about their activities there to my
face, the face of others, on many different occasions.
So we can all collectively say that the Russian leadership lie
when it comes to their behavior in the Ukraine. Do you agree
with me that
stop saying the Ukraine idiot, the Russia?
Do you agree with me? Do you agree with the YPG? What is
somebody have to agree with this? This guy is the biggest
people in South Carolina, which we have very few listeners
should be ashamed of themselves to have this guy represent them.
And by the way, John McCain recently said he feels that he's
his illegitimate son. Oh, do you have a clip of that? No, I've
been trying to get him. And that's when I got to five
minutes going around.
Now. Now, here's something that was interesting. We always are
suspected are suspicious of scripts. But how they are played
out and Charlie Rose can really be no different. He has his own
scripts. He has his own ego thing. And he's, but he's
clearly part of the elite. And he had to Torp rice on Susan
Rice, the Torp. He's a
member of the elites stooges. Yes. Is he himself? Is the
Council
on Foreign Relations. He must be I don't think so. Oh, come on.
He must be.
Well, he might be but let's see. I think it's a conflict of
interest for a journalist to be in the CFR but
Erin Burnett, Erin Burnett is a CFR member. Is that a conflict
for her Wolf? It is? Well, let's take a look. How can I? How can
that be a conflict?
It's a conflict of interest. So
it's not it's where they get their marching orders. Experts?
Well, I will say this though, Charlie Rose questioned
attending the Bilderberg meeting. So he went to
Bilderberg 2008 And then 2010
I'm just looking at the experts right now where they have
because again, that's just a drink.
Anyway, so he has the tour Bong, and they're talking about NATO
and, and Russia and poodle Myers,
or Moya. CEFR from 67 to 70. Well, that takes the cake. All
right, go on. Sorry.
And he go, he does something. He and I don't know if he makes if
he I think he just made a mistake. And he jumped ahead to
another part in the conversation. He screwed it up.
Because there's a difference between the Eastern Flank of
NATO, which would be Poland. What else is the Balkans? This
is the Eastern Flank of NATO, not the eastern flank of
Ukraine, which is where we have, of course, you know, pro Russian
funded Little Green Men, whatever, okay, fine. And she
gets so thrown off by she calls him out and says, What the fuck
are you doing? Pretty much Listen, Charlie,
with respect to our NATO allies is we the United States and our
other NATO partners have beefed up our presence in the Eastern
Flank of NATO. And we are now there. In larger numbers, air,
land and
sea those troops have to leave was which troops went for the
ubiquity of truth and Ukrainians have when they move, so
you're making a different point. If we try to go ahead.
This is so they're laughing because you're like, What are
you trying to do? You went off script script moron. You're
trying to do this demo talking about the Ukraine troops that
are withdrawing. I'm talking about NATO. What are you trying
to do in China?
Go ahead. I'm trying to keep you on track.
I'm on track you trying to get me off. I was simply saying that
we are taking
like a street chick black street chick when she actually talks
casually.
I disagree. I don't think she sounds like that. She's
getting a little little she's not normal sound. If you listen
to her normally, she has a very rigid cadence. She's very
serious and she always ends with a kind of a
Well, I think she's so embarrassed about this, this
gaffe that Charlie makes. This just has nothing to do but laugh
really like hyena nervously
tell me about the sexuality. It's in your DNA. I'm trying to
keep you on track.
I'm on track you trying to get me off track? Simply she
does have a little bit of track to try to keep me live track
what you do on a try to keep me off track.
So by the spy memo Hey, man, first of all, the
spy memo,
the spy memo that Al Jazeera uncovered
now, you know, I don't think I'm up to speed on the spy memo, you
know, to educate me?
Well, let's start with the spy memo long form. And maybe that's
got it in there.
The talks from Israeli counterparts. Speaking last
week, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said
Israeli spread false information.
Hold on. I guess I thought you'd have something but I know. I'm
looking for an intro. Okay. So this I'll just introduce myself.
South African CIA leaked a whole bunch of or somehow it got
leaked from South African CIA. And it's a whole bunch of stuff
about Israel, and all this other stuff. And the whole thing seems
to me to be about let's play this clip as a setup, Netanyahu
versus Congress versus Obama.
Okay, set up.
A war of words escalated today between the White House and
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It involved his plan
to address the Congress next week on the nuclear talks with
Iran. Republicans invited him without consulting the White
House. Some Democrats have now said they'll skip the speech.
Last night National Security Adviser Susan Rice offered the
sharpest criticism yet to PBS is Charlie Rose.
What has happened over the last several weeks by virtue of the
invitation that was issued by the speaker, and the acceptance
of it by Prime Minister Netanyahu two weeks in advance
of his election, is that on both sides, there has now been
injected a degree of partisanship, which is not only
unfortunate, I think it's it's destructive of the fabric of the
relationship.
Netanyahu who's in the middle of an election campaign fired back
today during a visit to a Jewish settlement near Jerusalem. Scam,
SHAN Abisco.
There are many reasons to worry about the agreement that is
forming. Now, the world's powers have committed to prevent Iran
from getting nuclear weapons. But it appears that they have
given up on that commitment and are accepting that Iran within a
few years will develop capabilities to produce material
for many nuclear weapons. They might accept this, but I am not
willing to accept this.
The Obama administration has said despite early reports, no
deal is in place. Okay,
now this is two weeks before his election that he's coming over
to try to queer the deal with Iran by bitching and moaning. So
coincidentally, two weeks before his election, by the way, nobody
points the election coincidence with these spy memos that show
up supposedly the biggest leak since Ed Snowden of all these
memos, many of them from Mossad, telling everyone that Netanyahu
is full of shit. So let's play the short version of the
Netanyahu spy memo clip and maybe that'll be an intro that
we can use. The new report
has raised questions about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu his effort to thwart a nuclear deal with Iran.
According to Al Jazeera, Israel's spy agency, the Mossad
contradicted Netanyahu his own dire warnings made before the UN
General Assembly, about Iran's ability to produce a nuclear
bomb with any here. The news comes as US officials have
reported progress in nuclear talks with Iran and as Netanyahu
is due to address Congress next month.
Now, I believe that most that Mossad's behind this leak,
because it's got some little snipes against the CIA, it's
oriented toward getting the Israeli public to vote this guy
out and get rid of him once and for all. Who is
the contender? Is there a contender?
I don't know. That's a good question. Spy memo slam against
Netanyahu is that by playing next? Well, there
was much discussion that came after Netanyahu was 2012 UN
speech that he was at loggerheads with his Mossad
chief Mayor Duggan. That's that was discussed. And in fact,
Mayor Duggan even publicly said that a war with Iran would be a
bad idea. But what what is just I think, was breathtaking for
the journalists who work on this is to see Mossad is classified
documents, a top secret assessment no less, that is now
available for the entire world to peruse and read it its own at
its own leisure. I mean, clearly, Netanyahu came and
spoke before the entire world presenting information that was
in direct contradiction to the country's premier intelligence
service and begs his strong question. Where did he get his
information from? Was he taking talking points from the
Washington Institute in AI? Or was he listening to his own
intelligence services who the Government of Israel pays to
look after this sort of material? So it makes it a
question similar to what Americans experienced in the run
up to the Iraq War. Is this based on intelligence? Or is
this based on political fiction? Hmm.
So those become a big deal. Al Jazeera has the exclusive on it.
And the only people playing this story, which is probably why he
didn't pick it up is AlJazeera. And the guardian. Guardian is
always in on these things. And so they're they're going through
these apparently, it says cash, it's a bits of Bradley Manning
sized theft of some sort. The guy, the guy kind of explains, I
think that if you play spy memo, long form, we'll hear a little
explanation as to how you know where this may have come from.
They keep calling the guy that who you just heard is the
reporter for Al Jazeera who's broke this thing. And he keeps
referring to it as a digital leak.
I feel very bad. I have complicit completely passed me
by and I this is the kind of thing I I thrive for. I want to
see these memos. I want to I want to read them.
Yeah, I'm actually surprised you didn't. Yeah, this
is well, I was looking at the the new EU Energy Union. That's
a different issue.
Well, anyway, so play this long form. And you get some
interesting data points in here the talks
from Israeli counterparts. Speaking last week, White House
Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Israel is spread false
information about the proposed nuclear deal.
There's no question that some of the things that the Israelis
have said and characterizing our notion, our negotiating
position, have not been accurate, with
the with the White House accusing Israel of spreading
falsehoods. The new revelations about Israel's own intelligence
assessments mark the second time in one week, tying Prime
Minister Netanyahu to dishonest claims about Iran,
couldn't we? Why don't we call this propaganda like we do when
it comes from Russia? Instead of just call it propaganda? They
don't do that.
No, the leak cable appears to have come from inside South
Africa's Intelligence Service revealing its exchanges with
counterparts around the world including the US Israel, Russia,
Britain, France, and several Arab and African nations,
South Africa. This is where we have a lot of the self loathing
Jews live in South Africa, the people who fund like ski hills,
movies and stuff. Good point. Yeah, this is where a lot of
them are. What was the name of that? The group of the
Yeah, we gotta put signs up on our walls. If
it's true is true is tricky running
into these organizations and then we run into him again,
Bertha foundation,
foundation. That's what it is.
Other revelations so far include CIA attempts to establish
contact with Hamas despite a US ban and a threat by President
Obama to force the Palestinian Authority to abandon its bid for
UN recognition. More disclosures are expected in the coming days.
For more we go directly to Doha, Qatar, to be joined by Clayton
Swisher director of investigative journalism and Al
Jazeera which broke the Iran story and several others in a
series of articles called the spy cables. He co wrote that
piece leaked cable show Netanyahu is Iran bomb claim
contradicted by Mossad that appears in The Guardian
newspaper. Welcome to Democracy Now. It's good to have you with
us, Clayton Swisher. Explain what has happened? What did
South Africa get ahold of? Is there a South African at
Snowden?
Well, I think after the Edward Snowden experience, someone
would have to have their head check to publicly fess up to
being the source of such a leak given all the travails that
followed Edward Snowden, after he essentially outed himself.
This was a digital leak made to Al Jazeera. And one of the
reasons people bring information out to zero in the past as they
did with the Palestine papers and other projects, is because
they know we'll take every step we can to protect and shield
their identity. So the way that we got these files, this digital
leak is not up for discussion, but it is I will gladly describe
for you an unprecedented window into how espionage is conducted.
Not just in South Africa, but the broader continent. What what
we what we have obtained is perhaps best thought of, you
know, if you looked at a discarded bag of rubbish, you
won't know what's inside it until you open it up. Similarly
in this, it's not rubbish. It's actually very useful
information, but it's an absolute assortment of things
that are seemingly unrelated but no nonetheless, highly
newsworthy.
I was looking at the birth of foundation, a couple of films of
documentaries. They have funded. Dirty Wars. Right citizen Coke,
right. The house I live in?
Yeah, I heard of it. Yeah, that guy might have heard of it.
Yeah, go on Pussy Riot. Yeah. A whole bunch of other ones I
haven't heard of. Yeah, well, there's a Russian angle to this
of course. Yeah. And there's possible we don't know it's not
up for discussion, apparently, where this where it came from.
And there's a number of snipers that the CIA there's a number of
snipes at the Mossad. And then there's a lot of snipes that
does all named Netanyahu have work to do, which is a good guy
they want to get rid of so the Russians could be behind this
whole thing because there's no snipes against the FSB that I
know of, but we haven't know this is just opening now so
we've only seen one or two articles and it'll be like the
you know, it's going to be competing with the Snowden and
stuff but the thing that could was kind of a giveaway here that
that was like a bullshit thing they added and Qatar being the
source of this of this misinformation you know, I was
you shake your head because it's like, it's like this thing is
about you know, let's get rid of Netanyahu any way we can and,
and then well, let's give the Jews one of these kinds of punch
to the guests with this bowl crap plays a water sucking
plant.
Oh, I was like, what is it called?
Is this by memo the water sucking plant? Here it is. It
also
says Israel's working assiduously to fuel insurrection
inside Sudan. Israel has even targeted Egypt, the first Arab
country to give it recognition, readying itself to sabotage the
country's water supply.
Israel has created a type of plant that absorbs such large
quantities of water as to significantly reduce the volume
of water that reaches Egypt.
This way Israel sabotages its enemies and friends alike
furthering its own interest in Africa. Clayton swish around to
zero
wow so they've invented a plant
enemies and friends the like that's those those evil Israelis
Wow
they've invented a plant that sucks up all the water yeah. I
like this. Yeah, I'm
sure they've got this plant this is good it sucks up all the
water nice leaves me while they show pictures of the of the Nile
the Nile is you know this is like the Mississippi it's a huge
anyway so they have to give the you know give these guys a
needle as this this is a developing story that will I
think will made this dislodge Netanyahu hopefully because the
guy's crazy man. And And anyway, so yeah, yeah. Barry catch up on
that because it's yeah, I completely. Did you know about
the other big break that's happening then things falling
apart? Apparently. Or buddy. What's his name? Reese Reese
Witherspoon. What is it? Who's the mayor of Chicago Reese
Witherspoon. This is named Rahm with reasonable Yeah, Rahm
Emanuel. I don't know for some reason. Reese with Reese
Emanuel. Chicago Mayor clip. This is news to me.
The race for mayor of Chicago will go to a runoff in April.
Incumbent Rahm Emanuel fell short of winning a second term
out right on Tuesday. He got 45% of the vote to 34% for Cook
County Commissioner Hey Soos Chuy Garcia Schultz came in they
urge to support
QE they wrote us off Mexico. They said we didn't have a
chance. They said we didn't have any money while they spend
millions attacking us. Well, well, we're still standing.
This is the first step in a real important journey for our city.
Yes. To those who voted for me in this election. I want to
thank you from the bottom of my heart. For those who voted for
someone else, I hope to earn your confidence and your support
in the weeks to come.
Garcia has appealed to teachers unions and neighborhoods unhappy
with Emanuel, a former White House Chief of Staff for
President Obama. The runoff takes place April 7. Yeah.
I've seen a couple of different and that President of course was
in Chicago recently trying to help him out although it was
there for other reasons, but I think people are sick and tired
of this guy.
Yeah. schooI this Mexican character and you know, Chicago,
Chewy, Chewy,
Chewy, is the midget the Mexican on the Chelsea Handler show.
Oh, I don't know that. Oh, I do know that. Yes, this little guy
comes and actually conforms
to Mexican Mexican Foreign image. Yeah, yeah, chewy. Hey
man. Fist bump.
So, Chicago when I was a kid, I, you know, spent some time in
Chicago was raised.
I did not I did not know this third and fourth grade. I did
not know this.
And this is news. Yeah. And when I was a kid, Chicago was had
three ethnic groups that were all very
polish, polish polish, pretty much found in Chicago,
blacks, and Jews. That was it. A few years ago, and I kind of
comment on this a number of times, everyone always throws
back bull crap. A few years ago, I went to Chicago and drove
around, I always have to have my places that I go. And I noticed
that the town was probably 50% Mexicans, the whole town. I
mean, once you're outside of the downtown area, in other words,
you go past, you know, Western Avenue and it's Mexicans,
especially as you go north. And I was getting some taco places
and all kinds of Mexican it was actually looked more like Los
Angeles Mexican town than it does around here. And I was
always surprised by that how the Mexicans had just gone to
Chicago and took over the place. Now it's coming home to roost
with guys like chewy. I think this guy can win
to vote for chew. I
vote for chewy. Hell yeah. Yeah, it may or chewy. It just sounds
better. Guide looks like is that his last name? Chewy? God? No,
it's Garcia Chuy Garcia can't get much better
than Garcia. get much more Mexican than that. Chuy Garcia,
everybody,
I like it. I have a couple things before we move on things
that need to be mentioned. Another departure from the $250
million dollar WordPress organization known as PR o media
cars drive my car don't rob grand Remo. Ken Silverstein
leaving first look media big makes a big stink banks a big
stink about it. Yeah, like that. A dishonest management gee, you
think at the same time, Ronan the Sinatra kid fired, finally.
But it looks like Chris Hayes will also be moved out.
Hayes I think is probably one of the best guys on there. I mean,
he's
no ratings is no ratings, man. No ratings at all. That's the
problem. No ratings, no ratings, no ratings and ratings. Euro
land. Okay, the couple of things that are important, as I said,
and this is very important for our European EU listeners, if
you are being duped. I no surprise. But the EU the
European Commission has now finally they've put forward
something they tried in three years ago, where they want to we
have the banking union. So all the banks are now under control.
Now they want the Energy Union. And this is very, very bad,
particularly for countries like the Netherlands who are passed
through countries who make their money on buying energy from
Russia and then reselling it storing and reselling it. And
this is this is truly a very I can't believe that there's no
outrage over this, but they want to combine 28 energy markets.
That means any country that buys energy, which is pretty much all
of the EU cow, so they have centralized buying was not a
good idea. No, it's It's a horrible idea. And pimento just
ate too much everywhere, instead of
Exactly. Yeah. France has been given a stay two more years,
they don't they do not have to adhere to the 3% debt 3% of GDP
for the next two years. Well, they figure it out, they'll
never figure it out. But they got a free pass on that. And of
course, Greece, it was actually kind of funny. There was I'm not
sure how factual This is. Because anything can happen in
these types of fails. But the actual document which was the
the Greek, the reset with the IMF, and how they're going to
handle the payback of of loans and bonds, etc. Someone got a
hold of it and something we've been doing for a long time on on
it's one of those things, you always look up who owns the
domain name and these little things you got to do. And they
looked at the Word document. It was a Word document was a PDF or
Word document, a PDF, and it says right there author because
Declan Costello, who is from the EU, he's a member of the muckety
mucks there in Brussels. And yes, and his name is author on
the PDF. The PDF is supposed to come from this supposed to be
Greece's own proposal. Very funny. The Germans are not
they're angry. They do not want any money going to the Greek
Greece go into the Greeks.
Now they see the Greeks as con men. Um, I
have a actually I have a copy of put it in the show notes of
built. And it says, there's a huge nine, kind of i 10,
Milliarden, foodie gearing and Grecian, for the, for the greedy
Greek. The greedy Greeks no more money for the greedy Greeks,
said the Germans, then lots of people in Germany are just
outraged that they're getting away with it again.
So what they do,
then we have a big shock. This, there was a little exchange with
Janet Yellen, who was our new Ben Bernanke. The Bernanke, as
she runs the Federal Reserve
Board wanted to get some clips. Apparently, Elizabeth Warren
went after her yet again, I
didn't, I'm not interested in Warren. What I what I like is
Warren, by the way, I'm just a prediction for the Red Book and
Elizabeth Warren or Hillary, either one of them are going to
kick Yellen out and get rid of this policy of printing money.
But in potentially buying our own bonds. It's a form of
printing money, and it's going to collapse the economy. Whoever
you watch. Okay, enemy will collapse after the next election
of a democratic woman.
Well, 2000 if the if I want you to split it, if a woman is
elected, no, it's not going to be. It's when a woman is
elected, the economy collapses, because we all know women can't
balance a checkbook. Hey, there is
a joke in the in the comedy quarters. So
here is now this was a great exchange something we always
talk about the use six numbers versus the unemployment number.
So the the the idea that we have 5.7% unemployment in the United
States is of course a joke, because the people who have been
voted off the island who are no longer looking for work, or who
only have some part time gig, that number is closer to 12%
unemployment. And someone actually asked Yellen, this
question, and her answer, I thought was surprising. And it
fits right into she's got to get kicked out. She cannot be
talking like this.
Do you agree that the unemployment number that you
cited 5.7%, in your opening statement, paints a rosy or a
better picture of the true unemployment rate that I just
cited?
So Senator, it's the EU six is a broader measure of unemployment
in it includes marginally attached and discouraged workers
and also an unusually large number of individuals who are
working part time who would like full time jobs. So it is a much
broader indicator of underemployment or unemployment
in the US economy. And while it's come down, it was 12.1%. A
year ago, it's come down from there to 11.3. It, it definitely
shows a less rosy picture than you three or the 5.7%. Number.
And I did mentioned that we don't at this point, in spite of
the fact the unemployment rate has come down, don't feel that
we have achieved so called maximum employment, in part for
these very reasons. Labor force participation has come down, has
been trending down. That's something that will continue for
demographic reasons. I don't expect it to move up over time.
But I do think a portion of the depressed labor force force
participation does reflect cyclical weakness in that in the
stronger job market. More people would enter
but you have to you basically concede that 11.3% of
underemployed people that's not good in this country is
that's abnormally high level and it signifies weakness that would
be good to address.
Oh, there you go. Finally, finally. Someone's honest. This
will not stay. To get a go can't be like sitting there being
honest lady. That's no good. Nobody picked
it up as a new story. Because she's boring. Really? She is
boring.
She does say major. That's what you want. I liked she says
major, which is though is the official no agenda majors major.
