Maybe she should have cried more. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak.
Sunday, March 1 2015 times you're getting my nation media
assassination episode 700.
This is no agenda,
broadcasting in defiance of title to live from FEMA Region
six celebrating our centennial in downtown Austin, Texas in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and for Northern Silicon Valley, we're also celebrating in these
parts. I'm John C. Dvorak. Hill.
I'm gonna give everybody a little love tune up.
Yeah, God makes everyone feel better.
That is the love tuner 528 hertz tuning you up. It's the love
frequency.
Once you get that
it was given to me was a gift
from me for some nefarious purpose.
It's probably dogs will kill rules will come out and start to
eat meat. To track rats. That's even funnier. Well, you know,
gave it to me. Okay. Hey, John, congratulations. Congratulations
to you. Yes. Congratulations, everybody. 700 episodes shows
700 shows. It's astonishing.
It is kind of have you ever counted to 700
I know I fall asleep long before I had I want to tell a story. So
I bought the machine. So we do the show. And it gets me like
oh, yeah, whoa, that thing's blinking. Java must update. Oh,
no,
no, no, NPR has been broadcasting how to disable your
Java plugins on your browser for some reason.
I don't know why you'd want to do that. But okay. So it says
update Java.
Now. This is a Windows machine. Yeah,
Windows eight comes up pops up of update update update. So I
click it No, I don't have time for this. And so then I do that
then in the corner, it pops up and says no, you got to update.
Yeah. And I said no, I don't have to. So I push that. Push
the button. Close it up. Now normally, that's the end of it.
Right? The booty and is this a Windows? XP?
No, no, no. 7777 But it pops up again. So I say no. So it pops
up again.
Wait, wait, you did also include the iTunes helper, too. I
always take I just say I don't see engineers away. thing. So
anyway, so I closing closing closing I get tired of and I
said okay, oh no, hit the button to upgrade and immediately pops
up you have the current version
of a man fist bump. That's what it should say. Amen. Fist bump.
You got the current version. Hey, before I forget, I've been
meaning to ask you this. But something happened yesterday.
And now I have to ask you know what happened Friday. Now you
You live alone a lot of the time right like me
if I if it whenever possible. Yeah, this has not been the
case. By
the way. I'm starting to work when I can get it. I'm starting
to understand your theories about this. Yes. Do you ever
find yourself speaking to yourself out loud?
I but I do that commonly. Okay,
so I'm not I'm not alone. I'm not crazy.
Usually my speaking to myself is You idiot.
So I'm walking Dubs. It's Friday morning. I'm gonna go to the
spin class. I'm walking down Second Street keeping up with
the spin class. Oh, yeah, three times a week if I can do it. And
then I'm walking and I don't I'm thinking about the show or
something. I can't remember exactly what what it was. Well,
it was I know what I was thinking about. I was thinking
about this, this crazy little soundbite that we've been using
man first of all, and I'm walking to anything you know
this when you walk towards the studio, there's there's only
like three or four people women usually who are walking into the
spin class into the building I always identifiable by their Ugg
boots, of course. That's what you're doing and to slip in, in
and out of your shoes quickly. And I'm walking and I just say
amen. Fist bump, and I realize I've said it loud. And people
turning to me.
You said you're talking about just wandering around the
streets talking to yourself. Well, now this I don't do
normally I do this in the house but now I'm doing it on the
street. This is not a this is bad development. Amen.
Yeah, I'd say
but it was I call my cell phone Oh shit. Amen. Fist bump like
that. It's just it's such the cadence of this is just so nice.
Hey, man. First of all, it's just so nice to say. Wow, okay,
so I'm only partially crazy. I do need to
know No, this sounds totally crazy. Amen fist And then make
the women turn
around. Yeah, someone turn out what? Oh, hey. Hi. Amen. First
of all, make that a greeting. Morning. I'm gonna try it. Yeah,
I'm gonna try and fist bump a Memphis bone. I'm gonna try that
everywhere I go. Amen. Fist bump, fist bump. You know on the
show 400 Secret Agent Paul's Secret Agent Paul has done a so
many of our song jingles and jingles throughout the years.
And he did on episode 400 When we celebrated our quad Tenille
quadrennial No, I don't know. Some. He did a song for us. I
think that was the fact of the matter song. And now he has done
yet another song. And I feel maybe even though it's a minute
and a half, I think maybe we should just play this song he's
made for us. It is another one of these things that we say.
Although interestingly, if I if someone said to me who on the
show says at the end of the day, I would say it would be you.
I would say that's true. I, I used I don't say as much as I
used to. Because when I say it, it's a long phrase. So it's easy
to catch. Yeah, at the end of the day, which means when all is
said and done, yes. And I could switch over to when all was said
and done this,
this might after you hear this song, I might, I might want to
switch over i until after all is said and done. But at the end of
the day, they're backing, you know, they're backing Come on,
at the end of the day. At the end of the day,
John, if someone wants to get anyone they can get at the end
of the day. And at the end of the day, it's more important
that we have entertainment
at the end of the day, so
at the end of the day, who's going to pay for the real blown,
it's going to be taxpayer money at the end of the day. And at
the end of the day, that's going to be up to Valerie Jarrett.
The end of the day.
I mean, at the end of the day, isn't that the end of the day,
end of the day, all this money is owed to bankers.
At the end of the day, you sound like Johnny Cash on heroin. At
the end of the day, at the end of the day, as Americans, what
we always do is bad at the end of the day, so at the end,
we only got a couple of samples of me but apparently,
I'm all over the place. At the end, yes. You can't deny I had
to put less gas in. This is not stopping end of the day. We're
all anti Semites. At the end of the day, I think it's a way for
the at the end of the day. First to run together at the end of
the day, you kind of forget right? At the end of the day to
day job. You and I are both in the audience business at the end
of the day, at the end
of the day. So at the end of the day, she can say Hey, I told you
so at the end of the day, the day I will see at the end of the
day. So once again.
I apologize.
You should apologize is a horrible berating me for saying
at the end of the day, which I've only said
apparently a couple of times. To me. It's me. I've been saying
it and I have not been catching any of it because I'm still
wanting to look at the things that bother me is when you have
stopped doing this because when I catch you on somebody you
stopped faster than I can Yes. Yeah, I do.
I try. I'm younger, younger man. I
don't know if that's the reason but it could be but I have
caught you saying okay, which is really? Okay. At the end of the
day, okay. Or how about Wow. Yeah, you said Wow, a couple of
producer Todd it's only Oh, wow, that bugs me producer Todd
send us an email from where's he from? ITM? My wife is a non
native English speaker who watches no English language
television and has no contact with native speakers here in the
wilds of southern Europe where there is no English spoken.
There is no way by which she could have picked up yet no
other than your show. For a couple of weeks now I have
observed with increasing alarm yet no creeping into our
conversation. At first when I heard it, I thought it was a one
off. But the second time I was filled with horror. It is now a
semi routine thing about which I have so far remained completely
silent. She is not a dedicated no agenda listener but as I
listened to it twice a week, she's always hearing it in the
background. You have to make this stuff up.
Top maybe we're working on it. Or I am in which this is
particularly my problem. Although you can be more not
just this last thing you could be saying it all the time and
I'm currently not noticing.
I don't know what to do with myself now.
Oh man ended the day. Well, that's funny.
It is at the end of the day. And these are recent shows too. That
I'm saying this. Yeah, no, he did. The same thing you just did
a year and a delayed No.
Oh, no, he did that. He did. He's the one who did the fact of
the matter clip.
Okay, remember? Yeah, fact of the matter. Yeah, exactly. Back
to the matter.
And he would and it was it was horrible. It was the worst thing
he's ever produced. It was just me saying fact of the matter
constantly.
I have to thank its people like Secret Agent Paul. Who really
put the shine on the show, you know? They really do. Yeah, I'm
trying to see like, if I could find his Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, you
agree?
Yeah. No, I agree. I
have friends. But I have friends. I have friends who
listen to the show. And now they're going nuts. Yeah.
Everybody in the world is using Yeah, no,
they are. Yeah. This is uh, this is like that stupid dress thing
going. Okay. No, the dress thing is something else.
No, it is. But it's big. It's, it's what I mean by that is
that's part of this human psyche. Yes. And a psyche
element to it. Yes.
And the way I evaluated this stupid dress thing, and if you
know what this is, it's shame on you. But this is by the way.
Yeah. Everybody knows what the stupid dress thing is. Yeah. And
I think this is it's just like daylight savings time. You know?
They throw this out there next Sunday. I know. They throw this
out there to make stupid slaves and human resources globally
believe Oh, yeah, the blue. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's right. I see
it now too. Yeah, it's swear to God. It'll be it's like this is
red and the hold of something yellow and eventually people go
Yeah, that's yellow red notes. Red Yeah, red. Yeah. This is
this is programming on a global element. Come on, John. This
popped out of fucking nowhere. Nowhere. Because some lady put
it on a Pinterest or Instagram and then all of a sudden Tumblr.
Yeah, it was on NPR. It was everywhere. And no, I see the
dodgy the dresses right now you are all part of the
rest of the world. According to anybody who looked into this
Yeah, JC buzzkill Jr. It went around the world faster than any
meme ever in the history of the internet which which indicates
that's the that's not even the limit of the speed at which
something this is so dangerous. Think about Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you it is it is of lethal proportions. Yeah. If
the if the media let's just call the media even though I'm sure
the somehow you know, Bill Gates was behind this somehow. This is
obvious. was rocking. There. Yeah, this was a test just to
see let's see what we can make these stupid idiots do now. I'll
tell you what will make them believe it's blue. Oh, well,
we'll confuse them. We'll say it's white one time and blue.
The next and people will believe it and they'll defend their
positions. People defending their positions on this 12 which
the end is nine
in our group around here. My wife. My wife didn't see it as
anything. G buzzkill Jr saw it as blue. Jesse his wife saw as a
golden white. And my daughter and I've seen other people that
claim does have this she says that she'll see it as one color.
One minute another color the neck. So she
she's lost. She's a lost cause. This is what they really want.
What they really want is people to see it one way and this kind
of like one of those 3d posters. Oh, yeah, no, I see it. Yeah,
you're right. It's blue.
I could always see the 3d posters. Now. The thing about
the 3d posters, which was annoying to me, is I always saw
them inverted.
Oh, really? I didn't have seen a couple of them inverted.
I could never get on invert them. I know there's ways you
can do that. If you just concentrate you can vote there
it is is fine. Right? I could never make one of those
complicated 3d posters. I can never they were always going in
instead of coming out.
Well, I'll tell you what this leads to. And again, I haven't
thank thank buzzkill Jr for for doing that. And the more data he
has, the more I'd actually like to receive any any background
data he's he's collected on this. This was not an
insignificant event. This was truly something the way the
speed with which it caught on the speed with which it was
propagated it it had to be a test of some form and it leads
to stuff this is Canadia This is the CBC Daniel Riskin who's a I
think he's a host of a maybe a new show TV show up there. And
he is a pretty much talking about all you know if we can
make you believe it's blue and not white, we can make you
believe all these things that you're wrong about. And this
harkens back to the Newsweek the March Newsweek cover here in the
United States of Gitmo nation. Well, maybe it's the same one
around the globe. Listen to what they're really trying to do is
to just tell you what is right and wrong. What I'm trying to do
is get people to love science and care about science and
embrace science. This was a science experiment, John, if you
saw the explanations Oh, it's because of the background
because you to me, it's like it's it's the same thing is can
you smell asparagus in your pee? It's like, oh, wow, gee, yeah, I
can smell it. Can you smell it? Can you smell asparagus in my
pee? Can you smell asparagus in your pee? Sure. Yeah, not
everybody can apparently
not paying attention
in a way that when we look back 10 Maybe 10 years from now maybe
that's the goal. To be anti science would be unthinkable the
way being anti gay is unthinkable now. Pay attention
because science is such a critical part of how we're gonna
get out of the kinds of crisis crises we live in. Scientists
are such great people. Scientists are working so hard
to make the world better. And there's vaccination that
matters. I mean, that I have babies at home that I do not
want to get sick with measles. So it really matters to me
matters that vaccination is part of public policies. I have an
elected official who simply thinks nations are new. Because
that's how the official flag apparently who What are you
doing? That's not That's not responsible? And it's not, it's
not informed. And I expect my government to Agha like a
government like a response like grownups. You know, here's the
evidence and actually look for evidence, ask questions, get the
get the evidence they need to form make an informed decision
and then follow the party line and then make the one that is
the informed decision. And so I would absolutely want to know if
somebody's running for office didn't think vaccinations didn't
think evolution didn't think climate change or or whatever.
Garbage or all these things together. evolution. Evolution
got to do with with the effective efficacy of certain
vaccines, many of which are like Bogut IV, yeah, Gardasil,
Gardasil. There's now Gardasil nine, by the way, it's a new
Gardasil the old one. Well, apparently, it wasn't good
enough, although they said it was now the new Gardasil nine is
a game changer. Oh, game changer, and it will be now
stops more strains of cervical cancer than before, it still
only stops nine. And I think there's 27 or so. And the 40% of
the population has a version of HIV and it does go away. You can
it's not HIV, I mean, HIV, HPV. Don't get me started on HIV.
Yeah, Gardasil nine. And, and now for boys. Because you know,
that throat cancer, you know, the throat cancer, you know,
where it comes from? You know, yeah, sure. So, today being a
brand new month, bunny, bunny,
by the way, just for people out there who don't quite get what
we're thinking about some of this stuff, creating sketchy
computer models, and then basing science on those is not science.
Right. But if you can convince people that the dress is per
calf
to have reproducible results Yes. Which they do that with a
computer model because the Oh yeah, you can but it's, it's
total bullshit because the computer model is made up. Yes,
correct. Correct. That is climate change.
Correct. You know, I didn't see the news. Talking about too
much. How are you getting bumped off for sexual harassment?
The pervert the other perv the PERT? Yeah, no, no, that none of
that I didn't want to talk about it. It's not scientific.
Anyway 700 shows what should we do another 700 Do you think you
got it in? Yeah,
I got plenty in me. I got plenty of gas in the tank. Hey,
all right. Good. As long as you can keep me alive then we're
good to go.
Well, you're gonna do you got the women after you they're all
trying to kick out Yeah,
trying to kill me this apparently attracts them
otherwise ways they're on their way. No women are going to buy
before I forget. Friday. I'm going to Europe. What Yeah, but
this you know, I had a trip planned and then you know, I
know something came up what was it? Like a divorce and so I had
to move that the move the ticket, you know, I just said do
whatever put it in March somewhere and here it is. I
can't I can't change it again. Because it costs money to change
it every. Well then you're gonna have to Oh, you have to go Yes,
I'm gonna go see, Christina,
did you get a good deal? To get a good deal on the ticket?
That's just a standard. This is economy that I purchased three
months ago. No, it's not a good deal. None of it's a good deal.
It's never a good deal.
The deal was shipped in a while.
I'm gonna see Christina going to. I'm gonna go to London. See
Michelle, and of course, I'll be doing the show, obviously, keep
the show going.
Who's Michelle? Michelle, my
buddy from the south of France that he has the strip clubs. And
that guy, that guy, my gangster friend, a gangster. He said,
Hey, Adam, you should come by we talk a little bit. fix you up.
Oh, I think we're meeting at the club. But
you'll pick up some good stuff while you're over there. I
always do. I always do, sir open, but I have to
tell you things are so naughty in Euro land right now. With the
particularly with the with the Greek situation, obviously. But
now the the Energy Union and this guy just
in the Energy Union just proposed,
Yahweh but there it's boiling frog, you know, it's a step
here, step there keeps going. This Yanis Varoufakis guy,
the as you see the videos that they made in Germany about him,
you know,
this guy is not insignificant. I realized, yeah, so I clipped the
video. You could
have met him. He's it was until just recently was teaching at
University of Austin.
I know. I know, her subjects. I know. I know.
She's not over and said hi.
Okay, sorry. This guy, this, someone sent us the link a
couple these videos and they're really highly produced. Oh,
yeah. Talking about how you know Greece is screwing Europe. I
don't know if you saw the very, very last one. You might not
have been on that email thread. Where? You know, the the Greeks
are saying oh, don't worry, you're we're just saving your
ass. And our men. Yanis Varoufakis? Is it Votto?
Varoufakis
saying it.
That's a very old joke. We so I'm hunting around, like we got
to find out what this guy's ideas are and what he's thinking
and I find I come across a TEDx talk from him.
Yeah, nice. Yeah, he did a TED X, which I'm sure it was irksome
to him.
You did it. You did it. Yeah. No, yeah. No. TEDx from 2011.
Did you see the whole thing?
I can watch those things. I pulled a couple clips. Okay,
let's see if you saved me the time. Yeah. It's a
TEDx. It actually is a TEDx Academy, which I think is even
lower than TEDx. Wow. So just so people know. And I think it's
brilliant. From Mr. Anderson. By the way, this whole set you have
Ted, which is the you can't get in unless you're elite. And if
you are asked, and you're you're brought in as some kind of
fellow then you're treated like a slave.
Please read reports that people do these things. Just Disgust is
horrible. It's a cultish, ly slavish and shut up, slave all
in one. But hey, you might get to meet to Sergey. Then they
have the TEDx, which is pretty much licensing the name and you
have to adhere to some standards, and you can't really
do anything because the TED people themselves if, if they
feel appropriate, they'll they will put a video on I don't
think they're allowed to just put videos up if it's TEDx. But
I think it's pretty tight control on that. And then TEDx
Academy, which is I don't know, is that like a high school play
or something? I have no idea. Here he is. This is a little
intro as to his little spiel here, what he, what he's really
what he's interested in doing, when Gandhi was asked once to
comment on European civilization, I shouldn't
mention everything that guy says, sounds like he's pitching
a Silicon Valley company. So whenever you start off something
with when Gandhi said, yeah, that's kind of like the monk in
the riddle.
He's quick was, it would be a very good idea. When asked today
about our views on the European Union, I think you can be
excused to reply in a similar fashion. What a splendid idea it
would be if we could only pull it off.
United only name. The European Union is I'm afraid in a process
of disintegration as we speak, with the commitment and
determination of a termite colony, which is eating into the
foundations, very soon, there will be nothing left but an
empty shell to remind us of the lofty ideal that used to be the
European Union. So this guy who is in some circles considered a
rock star of something already, yeah, in 2011. So four years ago
before he was mysteriously made into finance minister, with as a
dual citizen, not actually even a member of the Syriza party,
but he's been put in here. So this guy has backing from
somebody. This actually reminds me a bit of listening to old
Barack Obama clips when he was still senator. And he'd have all
these kind of lofty type ideals and talking to termites of
civilization, whatever this guy is talking about. But then you
get him in somewhere, and then he starts to, you know, screw
things up. And the Germans are, they hate this guy hate him,
because of course, the Germans had to actually send the money
to Greece for the four month extension here he is blaming
everybody on the on the crisis, and of course, in particular,
the bankers. This is, in a way, this is kind of his historical
version of what happened. Our mosques are falling.
Unscrupulous bankers, inane politicians, conniving
entrepreneurs, cynical academics,
uncritical citizens who are all being unmasked. But as their
masks keep falling, the dejection is becoming
generalized. Meanwhile, the human costs are mounting up. And
the only way of making sense of them and measuring them
sensitively is by means of counting last generations. It is
time, what?
by accounting for last generations.
Now, this is the kind of thing that bugs me about this guy. He
throws these, that's a non sequitur, by the way, and it's
one of the worst type of non sequiturs. It's purposeful. And
he pulls this and I've noticed this when he had the, you know,
the clips that were sent to us, which will be in the show notes,
especially the one where he's asked hypothetical questions,
and then talking to a some of that doesn't it's not even
there. And he's shooting off to the side camera on his profile,
kind of three quarter shot. Yes, face yakking away and
pontificating. And he does this so smoothly. He reminds me of a
different style of Noam Chomsky and full of shit. Throwing this
kind of these these these little things that confuse you as he's
talking. And they then he goes on to the next thing so quickly,
you don't stop him and go.
What that is what does that mean? Yes.
And then he and it but it's all highfalutin. He doesn't he
presents himself very well. You know, he has a Marxist
economist. Oh, totally. Well, but that's not a bad thing
necessarily. Because Marx's material when it was written in
the 1860s, was, was was important was popular blogger
culture. It was at the time. Yeah. But it's a little fashion
now. And his. His rationales are very weak. I don't know. Yeah, I
think he's, I don't I admire the guy for being a showman, and a
storyteller. But I think his stories are, are bull crap.
Well, he has a pitch, which I'll get to in a minute. He has a
pitch man, he actually had PowerPoint slides. And he says,
This is my pitch. And he says a couple other things in there,
which I think you'll catch on, you won't like. But the guy is
not insignificant. Someone is behind him. Someone is funding
him. He's in there for a reason. And seemingly, it is to
undermine the current European Union system. He wants
to suggest the Russians
can listen on transform Europe, and be transformed in the
process. So he wants to transform Europe and then have
all the citizens be transformed in the process into dust. I
presume? That's, that's healthy, you're gonna be good, be good
for it at the end now of the day. The medical profession,
only very recently managed to save more people that it killed.
Is that true? Well, arguably, yeah, in TEDx Academy, I guess
it flies.
Up until the 1920s or so. The disease was preferable to the
cure. Really. Similarly, with the euro crisis. Now, our
European leaders are enacting what I call it poisons made the
medicine,
toxic bailouts, inane austerity, we created in order to salvage a
Euro system, a currency union, which was never meant never
designed to sustain the catastrophe of 2008, the shock
waves of that great earthquake, what we've done is we've created
a scaffold, which is, instead of helping the edifice from
collapsing, it is putting more pressure on it. We've created
this European Financial Stability, or instability
facility. That's the ESM that we've been tracking for a couple
of years, which I agree with him is is fake. And we modelled it
to create it in the image of Lehman Brothers. Infamous
derivatives. Yeah, it was as if we took two stones and we tied
them together by means of a string hoping that will float
more readily. So there's more but I'm a little bored. Now. I
want to bring you to his pitch. This is his pitch for what we
should do with the European Union. And he has PowerPoint
slides to back it up. One principle is that I think we
should end the perfectly partitioned Europe that will
create Maastricht in order to create the euro. While at the
same time, however, strengthening national
sovereignty and then powering national responsibility within
that model. I love what he's saying. But what it how he's
saying, Oh, he say, I think he said we need to strength he
wants to federalized Europe. But he says we're not prepared. It
was not set up to be a federalized Europe. So he says,
we need to strengthen that while at the same time at the same
time strengthening national sovereignty, which is the main
problem Europeans have is a we don't we're not making our laws.
We don't we don't determine our fiscal policy. We can even buy
our own energy pretty soon and have to go through a central
clearinghouse. So that's the loss of national sovereignty is
you can make these decisions. So he somehow he's magically going
to create federalism and have in a way like Well, we do have the
Texas has its own sovereignty. We have a state constitution we
have in and the way it's set up, is upstate rule, Trump's
federalism, he's describing the United States Okay, thank you
another set
and the suit of solidarity which is being imposed upon the Dutch
and the Germans in order to give bailouts pretend bailouts, to
the Greeks and the Irish will? Yeah, okay. Stop inane
austerity, which is only making the debt crisis worse. Ignore
all the calls for debt buyouts will not be buybacks, which will
not work, but at the same time, integrate investment, and the
management of our problems like existing debt, and banking
losses. He wants all European debt to be federalized and
centralized. And this is 2011 when he was coming up with all
this stuff. This is what I refer to as decentralized.
Europeanisation. So allow me an acronym. This is Europe.
European eyes, what what else? I know, we need a management of
existing debt at the European level. Okay, we need the
management of the banking sector, which is collapsing all
over us. And we need a Europeanized investment policy
in aggregate. How do we do this? Without treaty changes and
Federation, we already have existing institutions in Europe.
And each one of them can be assigned one of these tasks. I'm
not going to go into this. This is not the place or the time
when he says this. Now he's getting into Silicon Valley dude
sat and listen what comes next. Like I'm not getting this not
the place at the time, I guess when your finance minister of
Greece or you know, who knows what he was thinking at the time
get see more of this proposal elsewhere? Uh huh. All I want to
do now is to give you a flavor. The whole purpose of this is I
want to give you a flavor. This is Americanized dude right here.
This is this someone gave him this and that he's repeating
he's parroting somebody else.
Boy, he's floated around here for a while he is dual
citizenship is yeah. Is Australian.
Is that what he is? Yeah. I just when someone says I want to give
you a flavor, I'm like, fuck you. I don't want to hear any
more. flavor. Just a taste. A taste. Yeah, just the tip. Just
a little bit. So we need to follow this guy. Ya know, we're
following. Wow, I know. It's a big one. That was a big one.
By the way, I got to wait a break to have it. Okay. It's got
nothing to do. Yeah, no, just do not let me say Yeah, it's like
it's like street. Yeah. Yeah. I should be saying yes.
instead. Do you want me to help you?
Say yes or no.
Do you want me to help you? Yeah. Okay.
I right there. See? I said, yeah,
yes. Whenever you're thinking of saying yeah, no,
I never think of it. That's the problem with these things. Ah,
but you
open your mind. Hold on a second. Close your eyes. Oh.
Okay, now that I have your hearts attention every single
time you want to say yeah, no, you're going to say man football
program done. You're good to
me. You're busy.
You're good to go. Amen. Fist bump. Just want to stay in your
lane for one more second because it was just very
getting we get so far we've provided the audience with
nothing. I disagree.
I think that we have determined There's a guy the audience needs
to keep their eye on because he's not insignificant. He's
been doing this for a long time. And something is up with him.
Here's what bothers me about the guy. I think he believes he's so
cool. That is It's destructive he'd there's no reason for him
to walk around and then like cut jeans and, you know, silk shirts
and, and kind of, I don't know punk garb from the 80s and drive
a motorcycle and all this other stuff. It's just like, it's
pointless. He's supposed to be the, you know some guy who I
mean there are there are even the military generals who can
design their own uniforms rarely go so far off script that
they're wearing some sort of punk garb from the Florida or
the Marlon Brando wild one gear from the 1950s or are just going
out of their way. And I don't care if people can wear whatever
they want. But when you're in a certain position, and you're
going to put yourself in this in a state of being so out of
place, that people are not going to work with you properly
because they don't see you as a as a, you know, a similar member
of the Swarm. Or the, you know, the fish colony. What is this
thing doing here? Get him out of here. This is why I said
negative it's a negative way to do business. And so I there's
something phony about this. Yes, it's me. Yes.
This is why I said he reminds me of Senator Barack Obama,
who was saying he would always wear a Sharpie.
But he had the whole you know, the he had the whole no drama
Obama hipness thing that everybody was careening over.
Yeah, yeah. And if anybody Yamas photocopiers follow vohkus via
Varoufakis reminds me of Loyola mirror
actually reminds me of Ron Blum, but
I didn't want to I knew you were gonna say that. But Lloyd
glimmered the guy who does LeWeb in Luke Perry Oh boy. Yeah. Like
from Luke Perry and doing LeWeb for a little while there he was
everyone was oh, Luke is coming oh, look, Globe Luke is on the
show. Oh, like me had some Bogota thing that never took off
some like some Twitter thing that friend feed Twitter,
whatever. Yes. Is everyone's going to use this is going to be
the future of social media. Come to the web.
You could get why people would go to that. And we in winter, he
would fly a few of them out. So that would probably be winter
time. And you go to Paris it's in Paris, but it's right in the
middle of winter in Paris in the winters terror is a horrible
place to the raining all the time. And it ruins your clothes
or it's freezing cold is not a pleasant place.
Anyway, I need to bring one more piece of important news. From
Euro land. Well, Eurovision we've been we know the
Eurovision Song Contest. One of the favorites here on the show.
We're always very excited to see who wins. No. Yes,
we're all I'm always favorite of mine. I'm
always excited. Yeah. And now, last year, it was held in Baku,
which is Hillary Clinton territory. This is the this is
where our oil companies are stashed there in Was it not?
Tajikistan might help
me Kazakhstan? Oh, no, no.
No, it's Azerbaijan as your by Azerbaijan. A Ston. And of
course who won? But what crazy thing that we have to come up
with to win we we have to help people understand that it's a
blue dress or a white dress. And that's a dude in a dress a dude
in it. Conchita vorst the dude in the dress do it in the dress
more or you could say transgendered in process? Or you
could just say I don't know dress do well, it was it was at
her age he she will he wants to be identified as a she.
Yeah, okay shelf a dead self identify. Does he self
identifies a sheet?
Yes. I believe so. You're sure? I'm pretty sure. Okay. Do you
would you like me to consult the book
of knowledge, baby? Yeah, consult the book of
knowledge. Okay, Conchita Wurst. We need to come she divorced.
Okay, that's Tom Neuwirth better better known by his Yeah, there
you go. He's, I think maybe he's a drag artiste. He's, as he
Conchita was an art piece. Here we go. I was wrong. Conchita
vorse is an Austrian recording artist and drag queen. That's
different than being transgendered, but Newerth is
openly gay, and uses masculine pronouns when referring to
himself but feminine pronouns to describe Conchita Wurst when
he's wearing the dress. Oh, do we get it now we
buy something known as a drag queen. No no no by because if he
says he's a male and then he's a female. Oh he could be by gender
a gym by identify. There's a word for this week. can dream up
a new term
by identify by identify how about by identification.
He's by identified easy Yeah, he practices by identification.
I'm gonna write that down. I think we got it identification.
Okay, so this this is by identification practices by
identification when we didn't invent it a word. Hold on loving
it. Something very important has to happen now
identification. Promises sounds a little Dental, but I think we
can still if they still work,
well, you have to really pronounce it you have to clearly
say, I think he's a by identifier.
Maybe that identifier like that one.
Which one do you want to we should we do identify when you
Oh, we have
to you have to pound the market.
Hey, let's pound the market about by identifiers. Okay,
pound it, pound it? Well, that's all about to end because the
Eurovision Song Contest is going one step further. We've we've
already helped Europe now except by identification. And to
realize that it's okay. Dudes wear dresses and they win shows.
What could we do? What could what can we do? Can we take it
one step further into the realm of crazy for the Eurovision Song
Contest and I'm specifically talking
that this is all part of the emasculation of men
Well, it's about to get crazier.
Now listen to
this is the winner this is the winner of the because the way it
works is they have national contests. A Finland has had
their national contest and they have Cho Don't Don't you dare
search for it. And they have chosen a thing they have chosen
their winners this is p k n petticoat economy per vote I bet
they're a punk man
Okay,
okay you should this not the Dead Kennedys from the six
sounds
very much like him but no, there's a hook to these guys.
They are all suffering from Down syndrome.
Wow. Yeah, they are fantastic but and they have to win
therefore the wind man they got their big water heads on stage
and they're going rock against religion whatever the hell
they're saying. And they won
this is this is dow I'm more interested in this your
admission. So let's have a little stir but the point of
this is what is the hidden message?
Oh, losers win. Everybody wins. There's no winners. Yeah,
whatever. It's losers. Job. Sure. Let's look these guys up,
man. Look
these guys up. Like what's your name?
Does it just say winner? Finland. Oh, there's
no winning. We don't like to foster a competitive atmosphere.
But we laugh a lot. Now everyone hug and share a secret.
Here he is. Just take a look at these guys. They're great. I
love him. Row are onto the stage. They find them
and I'm getting there.
These guys are great. They're about 40 or 50. Which makes it
even cooler. Though it's not just Down Syndrome kids is like
old dudes with Downs. Yeah.
Well, whose job Wow, it's fascinating. I know. I know. I
knew you'd like it. Here tonight. The lucky winners and
they were anti religious.
No, I was just saying I was just translating their lyrics in a
free form of a jam session. Now I don't know what their lyrics I
think their lyrics are about when's dinner time. Something
like that. I don't know what their song is about.
Alright, well, this is this is this is definitely talking about
a test. Right we've already gotten to the point where the
guy can wear a dress and that's great. Yes. And now we get
wait. Then we then we help everyone get confused that the
rest might be blue and might be white. Well I don't know. Tell
me what it is. This is all part of it. John. This is my point.
Yeah, no, I'm getting oh gosh. Oh, really? It's not Yeah, no
man football team in football.
Amen. Fist bump is you Right? Cool, though, right. Quite the
cool. All right. All right.
What else? Well, Russia. I think we should just Well, let's
start with the murdered guy. NEMSIS
bodies nimsoft. Yeah, I noticed the Russians pronounced Boris as
batas bought us bought us bought us Natasha bought us bought us
name. So by the way, I'd like to say hi to pure piata is in
China, pewter. pewter is one of our Russian spies in Austin. And
he's in China. And he says, Do you know that you are one of the
few podcast feeds that are unrestricted here in China?
Well, because we like we love the Chinese. Yeah. That's the
reason.
Yeah. And I'm thinking, hey, he's if he's in China, that hot
wife of his Rukhsana is home. Oh, man.
All right. I have a letter from someone in China, which I wanted
to read. Trying to figure out where it is.
I think next year on the Eurovision Song Contest. Yeah,
the two Rhett's trio.
That would be the entertaining. Yeah. Let me play read this.
Obviously, as you mentioned, China went to just get this out
of the way. I've been living in Beijing for seven years. This is
from John Artman. It's always nice to hear you guys discuss
China, especially in the context of world events. However, I do
disagree with some of your analysis from Episode 698. There
are a few indications that I can see that China needs a war or
other conflict. I don't know that we said that we say that
they will say that they
Yes. I said that the banker had mentioned this. He said the
banker, my banker, my ex New York banker had said oh, we need
some China needs to start some kind of war because they need to
do something quick
for their economy. Yes. Which is Marxist economy. By the way,
economics is that wars are the way to get out of depressions.
There are a few indications that I can see that China needs a war
or other conflict effect is quite the opposite. China's
military is so rife with corruption and overall lack of
professionalism that would be very difficult for them to
engage in a conflict with the modern military. Well, nobody
said it has to be a modern military. Especially those
backed by the US, Japan and SK regionally, SK South Korea,
China's current leaders President Jeeves and do whatever
I can pronounce their names and Premier Li have shown themselves
to be masters at pushing through unnecessary economic and
political changes. While I'm not certainly I'm not a fanboy, as
they have also implemented more oppression and restricted
freedom of speech, and Dissident Voices to an almost
unprecedented degree, we need to remember that both hold PhDs one
in Marxism and the other end Yes, first time ever right? Yes.
And it grew old rule of political science that these are
the worst kinds of leaders when they're educated them know that
high end intellectuals Woodrow Wilson was an exam Okay, gotcha.
He was the I think the president of Princeton anyway the first
leaders are trying to do so they're certainly not stupid nor
ignorant of how to best play the domestic situation crush
corruption crackdowns blah blah, blah as well as foreign
policies. But in the ass to go cities let's just get this out
of the way has to go cities I advise you not to fall into the
same trap that so much of the mainstream media falls into.
Yes, China does have an amazingly distorted real real
estate market. But much of what we see being built is empty at
first only to be quickly filled over the next five years. My
wife is from Jang Jo, the capital of Hunan ate her hand on
eight miles south of Beijing around five years ago, they
completely completed a new developed area a whole city,
they got a lot of press for being empty. Go there today. And
there's definitely aren't any ghosts.
Well in the random number theories, as we have them all
the time on the show, right after that came in. I got an
email from China as well. I don't think you were copied on
this one. And this is from two producers. Alex and Shan Shan,
Nori, and complete could not be more polar opposite to what you
just read. Which I think is a beauty of the show.
Well, it's also a beauty of China.
Right Good point. Adam. John. My wife and I are currently
visiting family in mainland China for Chinese New Year we
wanted to add a few details to your in John's China segment on
show six Niner Niner. The ghost cities are real. And there are
many but that's just the tip of the spear. Every small and
medium sized city here hundreds of 1000s or millions of people
are running artificial building booms. Three years ago, the city
we are in now completed a massive Riverwalk strip mall
project that goes on for 10 city blocks and the downtown core.
And it's only about 20% occupied. It's a complete
failure. And now much another much larger mall is being built
in the middle of nowhere. Everywhere you look there are
massive skyscraper sized condo developments. They're mostly
empty. The reason for all this overdevelopment is that state
run companies are at the helm and Chinese taxpayers are on the
bill for these scam projects, where the only people making any
money are the developers who of course are usually relatives or
friends of government officials. As far as the Chinese buying
foreign products goes. That is even more true than John has led
on everybody here will only buy Chinese shit if they have to.
The thing is after the Chinese baby powder milk scandal a few
years back people trust nothing made in China. foreign food
brands clothing, cars, beer, alcohol, toothpaste and
millpowder. You name it. Chinese want foreign made goods. They
especially they especially harbor a love for everything
American. I just had to write this email because your banker
friend is right. Something has got to give the question is
when?
Okay, I'll take the two letters side by side and I will I will
go with art man who's living in Beijing for seven years. The
other letter writer is visiting. Yes. Oh yeah, I'm just saying
visiting is not the same as watching because I have been to
China a number of times and every time I go there it's like
a whole different country.
Well, you've been to what Beijing? I've been
to Beijing I've been to jam and I've been to Hong Kong. I've
been to Shanghai been all over the place I've been to Suzhou
and what saw that's where the development all began. I've been
all over China. I've been to Beijing,
but I've never been to me. And Beijing is
the least of this situation that's occurring. It's just
Chinese. Like Chinese. Yeah, they own Nick come up to your
knees. Alright, fine. Not gonna let that go. It's a good song.
So no, I so no, no,
no, no. I think the I would be on board with the idea that
there's all these ghost cities in DeSoto things a scam, but I'm
now reconsidering because of Aardman, who is now obviously a
Westerner paying attention.
Well, this is the good news, though, is that we have so many
different people who are paying attention for their feet
on the ground, which is a huge difference than just absolute
NO. revisit them and
i By the way, the the chain the the chaina. Yes, the chain and
train, the China train to Spain arrived.
This is not supposed to take a month. They did. Oh,
well, it was actually longer. I think that it left on December
when did it leave? It has
to stop all over the place. And it goes through Moscow that does
it does. It does? Yeah. The other one, the newer one that's
going to be the high speed rail goes into some southern route.
So this is the jean Euro rail, China, Kazakhstan, Belarus,
Poland, Germany, France, it switches over, I guess. And then
it reaches Spain, really, that doesn't go through
parently they have to change gauges four times or three or
four times. Right, right. I don't know how you do that. But
this is still better than shipping. I think well,
somebody wrote in saying NAS bowl crack is the shipping takes
about the same amount of time and it's cheaper. They say bit
that goes through the Suez Canal could be and maybe I'd like to
get some numbers on this. I do know this. I went to us us
speech at the Autodesk has these things once a month like they
bring in some guy and he they
Autodesk which companies this is the company does auto CAD or
computer aided design software those guys and they have and why
do you get invited?
I know the PR people and they invited me once in every once a
while where they have a list of the people speaking I get an
interest in I say get me in so I go in. So I went into the one
sent this a while ago like Santa no year ago with JC buzzkill Jr,
we went to this listen to the guy I don't have his name in
front of me is just like a Swedish name. Who runs the
Google self driving car. He's He's a self driving car guy. And
he gives he's gonna give a lecture on about the whole
thing. Okay, I would have gone makes two assertions in his
lecture. And I was I'm working on the on writing about I think
we I think we have a clip. We have a clip long put up there.
Yes, yes. Swedish. I'm sorry. I was still in China. He made the
assertion that it's that trucks. I never got the exact numbers or
the references but he made the assertion that trucks are
cheaper on a per mile distribution basis than then
trains. Ca trains are not this cheap way of doing stuff. Yeah,
well, the tracks are run by the government. So that's not
necessarily a commercial.
Now he's taking all this into account what I think what he's
referring to is the net. In other words, you put a boxcar on
the train and then off it goes, and then it gets to a point to
be offloaded and then put on you know, and by piecemeal and other
trucks are and the total expense of doing that is not as good a
deal as just a truck. And he made this in his the way he made
this was up with other things. He says buses aren't really
aren't really that good. Good either lot of that what we
assume is better, you know, the train, you know, passenger rail
and all these things, it turns out to be more expensive on a
overall on a net basis than then a good car
shot. Sure, sure. But we need to have economies running and we
have to come up with ideas like climate change and other things
to keep money flowing. Right. Well, there's
that he didn't talk about that. Anyway, need to get these
numbers.
Okay, we'll get the numbers. We'll work on it. We haven't
mentioned it is one of the things go we have another
sendbird 700 episodes to figure China out. Which at the rate
we're going will be another seven years never happened.
Nobody can figure out China. That's the whole idea of China.
I watched a lot of Chinese news and Chinese channels and China
is beautiful. They have some some if you're a tourist and you
want to really get into looking at Crazy waterfalls, and
unbelievable parks. China is the place to go. And also those
crazy malls and some of those stuff. China's a pretty
spectacular place. Yeah, although it's kind of dingy.
I'm trying to cut back on my travel. Yeah, yeah. Going to
Europe,
China and Europe. Yeah, I am. Anyway, let's get back to the
shot. The guy that was shot. Yes,
this is Baris nimsoft, Baris batas. So a couple of things I
would like to say that it was my think two years ago. Vlad, what
do they call them now? They have Putin they call him Vlad the
insane er, I think is is a new nickname. In in, in Russia and
hating countries. Vlad the insane are Putin our friend
Vladimir Putin two years ago there's a video in the show
notes with I what I'm going to assume is is a trance is
properly translated. He's literally saying hey, you know I
know what these guys are doing the foreigners are going to try
and take somebody out and make him a martyr it could be could
be it could be one of you guys when you opposition guys. It was
pretty much telegraphing the whole scenario. And there it is,
it happens and the speed with which and this to me was the big
tail the speed with which President Obama came out and
said all we need an investigation. Because there's
one there's one thing in America okay, we don't kill our
political opponents. At least not like this. No, there's no
ugly Street on the street. No, we've we, we they commit suicide
here. Two shots to the head gun
and normally don't do it this way. No, this is how CIA does
what I believe is a Ukrainian hit. But the Russians normally
don't do it this way. They give somebody polonium or they you
know they give them some
sophisticated use one of the precursors and trick in the in
Yes, with the with the umbrella drops dead falls off a cliff. So
I think we can rule out Russia. This is not their style style.
No, it's not their style is certainly not where the hot
chick
Italian hit. When we saw the last video that we saw was a
garbage truck. Did you see this video?
Yeah, of course,
I saw this guy and his Ukrainian model girlfriend who's actually
got a very pretty face and she's skinny as a rail. As you can
tell by the little too skinny in the newsletter picture in the
newsletter is her she picked that picture for her vk.com
site. Oh, that's her self pick.
What is the k dot Congress
is that person in that picture? And she's skinny as a rail and I
have my joke in the new that's her
profile picture. So you're not on Facebook, but you're on VK
dot are you? Yeah, okay.
Just Jeanette sir, a picture that she chose. And I my joke in
the newsletter was of course they couldn't have killed her if
they wanted to, because there's no way you going to hit her.
I agree that this type of assassination, which happens in
Amsterdam all the time, all the time, it's usually Yugoslavian
hitmen, and they'll do it on scooters. Drive by you're
walking down the street with your girlfriend, your hot
Ukrainian girlfriend. They'll drive by. And you're laying on
the street bleeding. This is not our style. This is not the
Russian style. No, not at all. We we like suicide to to the
head with your gun in the left hand. Oh. Or, or the hot tub.
It's a joke. Ours is more humor. Exactly. Always involved. You go
out in the hot tub and the lid falls on you and you die. You're
going out for lunch? You're gonna kayak on the river there
and like, oh, off the cliffs. Yeah, this is this is how we
always have a little bit of humor thrown number 33 in there,
just to just mess with everybody. I agree. This is
Eastern Europeans
do these very sinister murders. Where they get into polonium one
is the best I mean, that's some guy
now that's that's classic. And it's not just it's classic.
II ingest polonium and dies a miserable death.
It's a classy way to go. Well, I
know how classes, of course, it's very painful. It's class.
It's a classy way
to kill somebody's what the Russian zoo is. It's classy. So
I agree.
This has to be dance culture but the Ukrainians, yes. Barbarians,
those
barbarians.
Yeah, but by comparison, so the guy I guess somebody was on the
hanging on the garbage truck that goes by very slowly because
early reports was it a little car comes by slim and it was
garbage truck. We got the video. Yeah, garbage truck goes by a
guy jumps off shoots the guy. They said this six shots are
fired. They could find two casings, which you know,
and let's just say they did not know they didn't hit the girl.
And they didn't hit the girl. Now we all know that if you want
to model famous Ukrainian mafia, you want to send the message.
This is what the mob does. You got to shoot the dog the good
you got to shoot everything. The kids, the durable. But no, the
Ukrainians who clearly are behind this are not going to
shoot the hot Ukrainian girl. She wasn't 30 Yet once they hit
30 then you know
they get a shot. Yeah. Now you have to listen to people that
they don't get debt to get to listen to the show a lot. Yeah,
you do. Yeah.
Now there's something going on. I believe that Poroshenko
president the chocolate Meister President of Ukraine, I believe
they're taking him out too. I think it's he needs to go. Yes,
assembler keys a bumbler it whatever is going on. This is
not right. They needed. I think some cover was needed. Of course
there's high fiving and Landon Langley right now. No doubt like
yeah, nailed it. Hey, and let's do a wreath laying. Yeah. All
the ambassadors came out. Oh, yes, this is if the guy has like
3% He's not this party has no representation and do not
know rally in like a few days and no one was gonna go to
wait. They had a rally today and I caught the this is on. This
was so coincidental. This was an RT listen to what the reporter
says she's standing amidst 1000s of people in a silent. What is
of course being if you read the vigil, yes, it's a vigil if you
read the reports here in the United States of Gitmo nation,
but listen, what was really going on. I'm gonna go out on a
limb and say that there's definitely more than 7000 people
here I'm gonna pan out and give you a look of the riverbank here
just show them that people aligned along the Moscow River
bank not far from the Kremlin here have made their way a sea
of Russian flags. Many of them have black ribbons tied to them.
This March, of course, was initially planned to be a sort
of opposition mark the first day of spring here, you see it was
already planned. But now they're making it look like oh, 1000s of
people came out. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, they got the
guy was pretty insignificant. But he was big friends with
Princess Leia.
You see a photo that one of our Russian producer sent over
producers, whose this Russian producer is amusing, because
he's a pro Putin guy. And he lives in Brooklyn. When I go to
New York next time I'm gonna go to Brooklyn because I know he
must live in the Russian part. You know, right because I want
him to take me around Russian that enclave in Brooklyn which
is all Russia's like Russia town Yeah. And and show me around I
want to say that because I every time I go through that area, I
go wow, just gotta have some good food here. Why don't
you just come to Austin we have a huge Russian spy enclave
contingent. Hmm Hello, sir. Jean Neff tool. Yes, guy. He's
running the whole outfit here. They got Russia house. They got
it. Come on this it's filled. And they're all hot.
And there's a direct flight from San Jose.
Okay, so do we agree that this is a poorly executed but now of
course the Ukrainian government is is the United States. So I
think somebody hey, you know what, uh, maybe it was a lone
guy who was like, I'm going to help I'm going to help out my
compadres from America. This
was too well done. With the truck Yeah, yeah, but I'm gonna
truck right in the way of the camera the whole thing? Yeah, it
was beautiful. Let's play a couple of clips. Well
done. Well done everybody. Good job. It this
is a clip from RT because they like to point out that the
Americans are all in that Putin did it. So this is Nim cough and
the anti Putin chorus. I love
that you call him nem cough but his name Nemco it's named
nimsoft.
Yeah, damn. So I started writing him calm. You know
what, like, Mark Yoshimoto nem cough that's what you're
thinking of?
Oh, that's Oh, no.
That's okay. From now on. This guy's name is Nam cough on the
show. Done. Good to go. Well, here's how events unfolded
last night based on what we know so far. And 11pm Moscow time for
East nimsoft matter. friend a 23 year old woman after Google
Shopping Center near the Kremlin. After spending some
time there they walked along in nearby bridge, and that's where
the tragedy happened 40 minutes later, police are trying to
track down the white car used by themselves killers. It was
filmed by security cameras nearby. The vehicle was
reportedly going at a relatively slow speed. When the killing has
sparked worldwide reaction, Barack Obama said the US
condemns the brutal murder. The German Chancellor echoed that
saying she was appalled while the French president called it a
hateful killing. Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron call for
a rapid untransparent probe into what he called a callous murder.
Well, let's cross to Brussels now and talk to Russia analysts
Gilbert Doctorow, co founder of the American Committee for East
West accord you're welcome to the program. Western media
outlets immediately put the blame solely on the Kremlin on
President Putin. Just take a listen to this for a few
moments, if you will.
The fatal shooting of an opposition figure there is
prompting speculation from his supporters that he may have been
targeted by the Kremlin.
He kept his voice off. This is a
dangerous thing to do in Russia,
an outspoken critic of President Vladimir Putin has been shut
down critics of
the government critics of Putin bad things seem to happen to
them. Everybody is meant to understand. Everybody
understands everything in this country.
Why is there such an anonymous chorus when the full official
investigation is of course only hours old at this stage? I need
to say something right here because I'm receiving a lot of
emails. I'm looking at you Stan living in Canada Navia. But a
lot of people say Stop defending Putin stop defending Putin is a
horrible murder, and they send me videos like this child is
dead Putin at his heart. And I just want people to understand
I'm not sitting here defending Putin. What we I think what we
are doing is showing you the propaganda which is being
primarily created by the United States, you cannot deny Putin
I'm sorry, targeting this targeting Putin, but so I'm sure
he eats babies for breakfast. I'm sure he does everything in
the yes tons of bad shit who
after Putin let's find something a little more substantial than
just these. He hates gays situation and a coincidence that
this guy Dr. Roe, who comes on the same clip, describes it puts
throws a couple of ideas out there and he comes on another
clip to this he's very interesting character to
analyze. He's He's an American. And that's nonsense. People who
are set we're not big defenders of Putin what people think we
are but recently criticized them severely for being a bonehead.
It's but it's becoming a little annoying, because I know we have
a lot of people who are in intelligence services trying to
probably massage our thinking.
On both sides we have so on both sides. It gets think a certain
way we have we obviously have but particularly
when it comes to Ukraine, but when it comes to Ukraine, people
lose their their crap over anytime we say well, you know,
this is bullcrap. And they're setting Putin up, etc. The P is
really killing people. I'm from Ukraine, all my family is dead.
Yeah, I get it. But we're not defending him. We are showing
you how it works. Putin and Russia today are actually quite
poor and crappy when it comes to propaganda. They're not
sophisticated. There's
no the way I see it. The way I see it. When I get a lot of
clips from them, I see the Russian form of propaganda, the
modern form the one that they're using today. Extremely
defensive. Yes, there is no offensive propaganda that
actually has any impact. No, they are old fashioned. They
don't know what they're doing. We're Americans. We're the
people that that rule the roost when it comes to and you know,
the British are involved because that these companies are all
consolidated under the you know, this international company WPP
and the other one,
we run the world's PR we do advertising. We are the guys who
know how to do this. We are Hollywood we are media, there is
a need for rescue mission. When the world is threatened. The
world needs help. calls on America, right
that's the store don't you forget it.
This finish this clip. Well, that
clip was over. That clip was over. Yeah, it ended.
Okay when they go with nem coffin the Romans. Well,
meanwhile, the format has oops, oops, this one. This is not
the this course that you've described fits into the general
pattern of denigration of Vladimir Putin and Russia
bashing more generally, that's been going on. Now for at least
two For years with great intensity. At the same time
everyone is ignoring the basic principle of investigations that
goes back to Roman times and has the heading Cui bono, whose good
is served, whose it whose benefit is to be harvested.
Okay, I have to stop this for a moment. This is not a good idea
for this guy to do. The Cui bono thing has become kind of like a
standard conspiracy theorist line, throwaway line. If you're
serious, you should not be using this. Have you not noticed this?
No, I have not. I'm glad you pointed it out. Because I have
never heard the term for about the last 20 years.
Oh, it's all over conspiracy websites, Cui bono, Cui bono,
from the dummies of buddies himself. And even after a moment
or two of reflection, it's clear this this did not and does not
serve the purposes of the President or his entourage. On
the contrary, it very much has the resemblance of a provocation
to cast doubts on the legitimacy of the honesty of Vladimir Putin
at the very moment when those qualities are so important to
maintaining a ceasefire in Minsk, two in eastern Ukraine,
where Russia is a guarantor. Can I interject
this little, little? I think you're just I think that was the
end of the clip.
I wanted to, to just put a little side clipping here. Yeah.
This is Matt and Jen. Matt Lee from the Associated Press. Jen.
Yes. And Jen, who's
on air is don't we have a jingle? No. Because
that's that's Matt and Marie.
Oh, Matt. And Jen. Yes,
this mountain dew Murray has been Rihanna. No. Wow. And Jen
is supposed to go to the White House, but she's still there.
She's her boobs are huger than ever.
She's gonna have big giant wins when she has the baby. Well,
we can't see how far along she is when she's announced. But we
haven't we need to see the size of a house. I'd love to see the
bump. And who is that? Mama's baby daddy? Huh?
She married? Yeah, she's
married. Yes, she married some dude. Apparently. Okay. Now, do
you remember when we played in fact, I can probably bring this
up right now. I think it was on 699. We played a bit, which we
laughed about. And that's why I remembered watermelon had Kerry,
who was all bent out of shape that the Russians lied. They
lied to his face. You remember this clip? Vaguely? Here? I
think it's here.
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?
Are you asking me? This chairman, Russia is engaged in a
rather remarkable period of the most overt and extensive
propaganda ever exercise that I've seen, ya know, since the
very height of the Cold War, they have been persisting in
their misrepresentations lies, whatever you want to call them
about their activities there to my face to the face of others.
So there yes to my lie to my face, who do you think you are?
I'm John F. Kerry, who do you think you are? How very dare
you? So Matt, I want to ask a question about that.
The other day on the hill, the Secretary said that the Russians
have been lying and lied to his face. Presumably he fired the
Foreign Minister, last
gen is now opening the book, flipping the tabs. Where's the
lie to the face thing? What do I say about this? To clip Philip
Roth,
who he is supposed to meet on Monday in Switzerland, for Mr.
Live often appears to have taken exception to the suggestion that
he is lying to Secretary Kerry's face. It was not. This was not a
good diplomatic comment, to say the least. I'm wondering if you
have any reaction response or thought other thoughts on this
little episode?
Well, I think the Secretary was referring to comments made
broadly not as specific, as you suggest, but privately and
certainly publicly that any claims that we've seen publicly
many, many times that Russia has not had a hand in our engagement
in what's happening in eastern Ukraine. And that's certainly a
statement of fact, we've seen a great deal of evidence that
evidence that
the Secretary did say it did not mean to say or imply that
Foreign Minister Lavrov had lied to his face. He wasn't referring
to a specific meeting, but we've seen comments made countless
comments made consistently made so by the Russian by Russian
officials or law I have no involvement in Ukraine.
Let me just ask this then, as the Secretary met face to face
with any other Russian officials and Foreign Minister,
I think it's so I love Matt Lee for doing this. And this never
gets aired. You never hear of this? No, no, but it's the right
question. He said they lie to his face who was in his face
when they were lying. It's a simple enough question.
Yeah. If you're gonna make a claim that somebody lied to your
face, my face that
person and it must have been a big lie and look at the size of
that face. I think you're taking
his comment a little literally, he's talking about Russia. It
was meant to be literally said lie to his face. has
consistently made they don't claim he's
very smart. Now, Matt, Matt will let her talk and he'll just hang
back. I love how he does. This is very make different
claims privately, but he was making a broad point about their
claims about their lack of involvement. Okay, well, it's
taught me that it's pointless for level three, we've made the
well, let me clarify it in that way, then.
So the so you would not say that for Mr. Lavrov has lied to
Secretary Kerry's face about Russian involvement. And
I think he is conveying that any statement made publicly or
privately by any Russian official. They have no
involvement in Ukraine we know is clearly not a walk along.
Lie. It's a lie. Lies.
Yes, this is the problem, Jen. If you keep saying the Russians
are liars, liars, liars, liars, and then your boss says gee lied
to my face, then someone eventually is going to say Are
they just liars? Just sacks of
maths not working there anymore. Oh, man.
That's the end he better not take any.
Even though he's working there. It gets none at no attention.
Most stepped on this show. Still is still a huge loss. He really
has a completely crazy he keeps him in line a little bit.
If he's gone and that's it. Yeah, that country so there is
one other guy he actually pipes in here. Hear this guy?
He does imply that it's people have said things directly to him
that were lies doesn't imply that it's a protege.
He's coming up in the ranks this guy. I think his name is
Abdullah, whatever
public comments. He reads the newspaper. He reads
the newspaper. Breaking news. Carrie reads the newspaper.
He's certainly as I just said public privately and publicly.
They're the same claims made. So people have lied to his face. I
think I'm I think we I've addressed this. As far as you
know,
the meeting was four minutes or less,
man. Thank you, man. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That's
great. That always brightens up my day when he does that.
Just ya know, he's the best.
Oh, boy. No, no, no, no. Hey, man, first of all, yeah, no.
Yeah, no, sorry. It's okay. I have a big sign in front of me,
by the way,
that's not working. Alright.
Let's finish up with nimsoft Nam cough? No, that says nimsoft
does.
This is like a new software division of Microsoft is nimsoft
nimsoft.
This is interesting, because apparently, this is a very funny
story. I don't know if it has anything to do with anything or
if it was, he crossed a lot of bad people or what. But this is
very just a interesting story of from Dr. Rowe, and he backs up
what has to happen and all the rest of it is just fascinating.
Well, meanwhile,
the former head of MI six that John sores has told the BBC that
Russia has become a danger to Britain. And he says the UK must
be ready to defend his
soft early days anecdote.
Yes, it is. Oh, really? No, it's not. Cheese. I'm sorry. That
would be different. That would be a clip I had lined up for
after that. I'm sorry. Here it is.
But I do have is a personal take on Putin himself. And I feel
lonely. I would like to bring that to play now. Because he was
a very critical figure. I had the the possibility to hear and
see himself quite up close in 2010 in November, when he came
to Columbia University where I was then resident and delivered
a talk to about 200 of us in a hole on just off campus. He had
just arrived in New York from Washington, where he had met
with Michael McFaul and with Benjamin Cardin, the senator who
was the co author of the Sergei Magnitsky Act, as part of his
rather lengthy talk, about nimsoft explained how he had
advised Carden on the need to expand greatly the scope of the
sanctions then being imposed on Russia to take in, as he termed
it, all of those who are guilty of human rights violations in
Russia and all of those who are guilty and electoral fraud.
There was a term that was so broad, there was so vague, so
subjective, that would have that it Applied who would have the
who would have the result of applying sanctions to a broad
swath of Russian officials, including as high as Vladimir
Putin? I bring this to your attention because Because
nimsoft was advocating this type of sanction policy for years
before the geopolitical contest between Russia and the European
Union, or Russia and United States over Ukraine, on
everybody's radar,
exactly is about Ukraine.
Three years before Ukraine.
Well, this has been this has been a long time in the
planning. Yeah, yeah. These people play long game, John.
Long, long game. By the way, the protege is OSH rod, Mohammed.
And he works for Reuters. Oh, Matt's AP and he's for Reuters.
So OSH rod is clearly gunning for Matt's position.
The foot the front of the table, he's got one seat right?
Pole Position.
Yeah, exactly.
Now I have this clip that I've now started twice in a row
instead of your clips of the BBC on the nimsoft. With the former
mi six chief
quickie hit it. Well, meanwhile, the former head of MI six, the
John sores has told the BBC that Russia has become a danger to
Britain. And he says the UK must be ready to defend itself.
The level of threat posed by Russia has increased threat
the killing people on bridges.
And we have to be prepared to take the defensive measures
necessary to defend ourselves defend our allies, which now
extends as far as the Baltic states and Central Europe. And
that's gonna be a big issue, I think. Yeah,
if Putin is coming to kill you people, I guess what else could
that mean?
He's joining ISIS
big news. In the meantime, Lithuania. I missed this and I'm
the guy who kind of pays attention to these things. They
had a huge liquid gas terminal arrive in December off the
coast. They're in what is their coast or coast is that the
Caspian Sea? I don't know. It's important hold on Lithuania. I
think it's a Caspian Sea Yeah good. No no Caspian the Where's
the damn map people? The Caspian Seas behind them? No, they're
there they're getting the stuff from what is that water off
Finland there?
The light Oh no, it's not the Baltic is it my it's the East
here's let me look at maps
I feel stupid. Yeah, let's look at maps.
Because we need we can't do the show without looking at a
map we always have to look at the map otherwise you don't
understand this stuff.
It's true. All right, here we are. Lithuania and there's a
it's the Baltic This is the Baltic Sea you're right the
Baltic Sea I get to they came December this huge liquid
national and natural gas liquid gas terminal which is a ship
like an aircraft carrier. It arrived and news came out
yesterday that under the deal with Houston based Cheniere
Energy Lithuania will now be importing liquid natural gas and
they will be and there's a pipeline set up between
Lithuania and Poland which I don't think is complete but
they've been working on this for a while and this is part of the
energy independence.
How do you spell chin there?
Yeah. Charlie hotel echo November India echo Romeo.
That's a good one. I didn't do that yet. Cheniere Energy who's
who's running that show? See, they got to be a subsidiary on
their their public.
Mm hmm. At buttstock.
About Us let's let's see who's owned
by a guy named Sharif Suki, which sounds almost like a
Lithuanian name.
Let's see board of directors. Shall we check it out? Let's
see. Bailey was from Anderson Stratton's Consulting Group.
Audit Committee, which is always interesting. Morgan Stanley.
Brand Brandolini. Director that must be what is it Scorpion
holding? Doesn't sound nefarious. Keith F. Carney.
Coincidence, John Deutsch?
Where are these guys?
Oh, he was Department of Energy. Deutsche Okay. X department
energy guy. A David Foley. Wait a minute. David. David Foley is
a senior director at the private equity group of the black stone
group I've always wondered about the Grand Duke yeah soil guys a
lot of oil guys but not not anything that jumps out per se
no I just oil guy it's just a little guys are all over the
place but the Sookie I'm trying to find a bio of him and they're
either non or it's not available. I just want to see if
he's Lithuanian.
Anyway apparently this this is intended to be a move aimed at
reducing the EU Baltic States heavy dependence on Russian gas
deliveries.
Okay
seems like a rather expensive proposition but they seem to be
on board with it. So that's good
I can't get much on me. It's
actually I got a story here. Stephen Cohen, our buddy
Professor Stephen Cohen. He is saying hold on to get this story
here. He is saying that Poroshenko is not he's on shaky
ground. Oh, as as president of Kyiv Yeah, well, he's a botched
train. Yeah, he is a butcher.
Okay. I don't know. So I think we knew we got as close as we're
gonna get to any
there's no more Yeah, we can't get much further other than
where is that? Where did the chicken go? Where's the
Ukrainian chick?
They questioner and released her via where she is she she should
be on the up. She's back to Ukraine. But she
should be on. On Ellen. We've got to get this girl out there.

got to say that she she has to speak good English. You're not
gonna book her. Damn not book in her. She She blew it. Damn. She
should have learn good English. She'd be all over the place.
She'd be getting modeling jobs in Paris and Italy and all over
it little skinny. But she'd be good for the runway. They like
skinny great for the runway. She could still do that. Yeah, no,
no, go. Absolutely. You caught it. That's okay. I'll give you
that one. But she could do run with but she would be useful if
she's, I'm just telling all of you models out there who are
listening to this in English. Right? You can understand what
I'm saying. Anyway. So what difference does it make? But you
should have learned English? The international language? Yes.

Hey, man, it's because you know, Nicolas are a Monday in Fremont,
California. 25433 Congratulations on 700 shows I'm
happy to take a minute away from my my binging house of cards to
send his Why is everyone in such a rush?
This is an interesting question. I have not even cracked it. It's
it's a it's like the dress thing. It's like the dressing.
Is it blue? Was it white? Have you watched House of Cards?
I've watched I've watched the first two seasons and I watched
them casually when they came out as like a normal person I like
some watch. Felt like I've watched two maybe three I
wouldn't sit there watch the whole series it's like watching
you know sorrow and the pity or something it's just like just
too much work. But I do watch it you know like in like a show you
want to watch when you feel like it and I don't see the rush. I
don't see this. See the the only reason I even would rush to the
theater to see a movie is because it would be in 3d and
it'd be spectacular. And I would have one shot at To 3d Well,
normally I watched stuff on HBO two years later, it doesn't
bother me.
Yeah, but this is obvious. This is the culture we live in. If
you go to school or you go to work, and people are standing
around and then you have not watched it, it'll be oh my god,
I bet you thought the dress was way too. Out Why do you need
this is slave culture John this is slave.
Yeah brought up with everybody by brought up with me me.
conversation goes like this. So what color I just out of the
blue? So what come back to the dress? Was it blue or gold?
Yeah, she's goes, who gives a shit?
You should marry that girl one day. I love that, by the way I
do. I do know is a big spoiler. It's a multi episode arc. And
not that I've seen it. But apparently Putin hates gays is
prevalently featured in this series of House of Cards. So
yes,
I had you down to do that one, two punch of clips. I want to do
that. Not during the read here. But right afterwards, where we
have the guy that goes out bragging about how they've
planted all these stories. Oh, yeah, I can do that one. And
then it was the second clip, which I don't remember that.
Well. I think you've maybe played it one plate at once.
Yeah. And but that one to the to combine we've never done well,
why don't we just do it? All right, do it.
Okay, hold on a second. This is Hollywood. It was here it is.
Yes. And this is from the Norman Lear foundation.
Now this is the second one, isn't it? What the first one was
I
it's two clips from the say it's Marty Kaplan. It's two clips
from the same speech. And it's and he's running the Martin, the
Norman Lear jet Foundation. And it's their universities bragging
about how fantastic they are at propaganda in American media. So
in the course of our work, this is, in the last two years 11 to
13 335 storylines that we worked on, have been aired, we've
worked with 35 networks in the past four years, 91 different
television shows
just to make sure Putin looks like a dick. And the longer clip
you're talking about is climate change, which was and of course
we can't take credit for it. But it was worked into Modern
Family.
Norman Lear, as part of our efforts in climate change has
been saying over and over, what we need is to have a show that
has lots of viewers and has a character who is a total pain in
the ass about climate change. And the character he thought
would best do that is Manny, the kid on Modern Family. Well, that
didn't happen. But I will show you something that did happen.
And we never take credit for anything that we did.
Why not? Why not? Because it would come across as propaganda.
But I have seen Norman personally make this pitch to a
number of show runners.
Hey, their neighbor. Oh, hey, it's Asha. Right? Yeah. I just
wanted to let you know, I think there might be something wrong
with your air conditioner. Oh, really? Yeah. I mean, it just
seems to be running a lot, even when it's kind of cool outside.
Oh, no, no, my partner runs a little hot. Not as hot as our
planet. Sorry, I don't mean to be that guy. It's just, we're
all in this together. Yeah, I drive a Prius. So and that's a
nice little gesture. My car runs on reclaimed cooking oil. I have
some literature if you want it. That's okay. Save the paper guys
and printed anything since 2004. I was going to email you and
your power hungry computer. My entire house is solar powered. I
sell energy back to the grid and use that money to save polar
bears. I'm an environmental lawyer. So you know I'm pretty
green. So as your lawn I went drought tolerant succulents
indigenous plants rock garden. My other daddy's has a year
Yeah, looks like a litter box. Cute kid. I remember when she
was in disposable diapers There you go.
Haha, and believable rule follower. So
if the rule is that we have to do it and then I'll do it.
Right. Follow the rules. Yeah, yeah. So this is what goes on is
how it works. That's how it goes. Um, so that's why House of
Cards has a multi episode arc. Specifically about the
legislation that we completely debunked with the white paper
with Brian the gay Crusader, which you can still just you can
search for that. One was in the shownotes it's not true, but it
is now fact because I mean, when when Frank Underwood says that
Putin hates the gays and meanwhile, I'm a bisexual with
Claire, we have our little twist, then you know,
must be true must be true. Yeah, well I find it abhorrent,
abhorrent. These assholes pull this crap on the American public
on purpose. And it's like they're manipulate like their
puppet masters and Norman Lear is obviously one of the worst
examples with that little skit that they were showing there
that they'd like to do.
He pitches them who is Norman Lear?
Lear was the guy who did all in the family. Oh, right. And then
his wife I think we started this magazine called leaders which
failed and I saw her once dead divorced, I guess and she was
like out and I saw her in Boston. I was at the I don't
want to sound like this was not paid for by me. It was a company
thing and I was sitting in the bar at the Ritz Carlton in
Boston at the window seeing see outside on the on the big square
that's out there. Big little forest. And so here comes a big
fancy car. And here comes Norman Lear, his wife or ex wife. She's
about I don't know. I 75 She hot. While she was skinny, she
was skinny or skinnier than that than the Ukrainian model. And
she was wearing like gold Limaye and to like 20 something. Oh,
no, she's not hot. Boys. Were on
her arms. But toy boys boys doing toy
to Toy boys. Not one, two, but two. And she comes barreling
into the hotel with these two toy boys. And I just thought we
were just all going Holy mackerel. What is she was that
she's a cougar?
Yeah, she doesn't she look rich Cougar Cougar.
Alright, let's get back to this. We're talking about Nicholas
Romandie and Fremont 25433 having to take a minute away
from binging house of cards to set his donation John how great
was the rain and lightning yesterday? You know we didn't
get it. I saw the lightning from outside. It was down south we
got not a drop. And we didn't get any lightning nearby. And
Adam go out into the road like John recommends go out on the
road like what did I recommend you go onto the road
since the Trail of Tears to
hit your street. I thought she meant to stand out in the middle
of the highway.
Hey, everybody, John told me to do it. It's a good idea.
I lived out of a good version van for my last quarter of
school at Santa Cruz and loved it. Keep up this amazing value
you both provide. That's
nice. Yeah. And if you know I needed a driver I need to be
able to prepare for the show. You can drive and then it
doesn't work that way. I need a driver. Preferably a hot one.
Okay, I cannot get the spreadsheet to give me the next
name because it's and I
need to point out that Pussy Riot is also in the house of
cards just to add a little more. Putin hate Putin hate to the
mix. Yeah, great. Isn't that fantastic?
Who is Jeremy Cooper?
Now it was rogue no Rogue is 238 Come up. My friend has been a no
agenda fanboy I got mica read it
but I just can't get his name because this way the
spreadsheets it just doesn't if I scroll down one thing boom.
You know friend has been no agenda fanboy for years and did
a poor job of that. That is a good note by the way. And it's
done a poor job of evangelizing me whoever you are. Poor job.
Yeah,
do a better job please.
Finally around Thanksgiving I found both the motivation the
time to tune in and boy oh boy. Oh boy. What a douche bag I've
been please douche bag me. After listening for just 20 minutes to
a single episode, I was hooked. Wow. All right. That's not the
normal pattern. What episode was it? I don't know. We better find
out you better tell us what episode it was around
Thanksgiving. Overwhelmed by the quantity of prior shows and my
compulsion to listen to them all. I needed a plan step one
invite invite event a time machine after knotting on that
for a while noodling on that for a while and then being
confronted by my own engineering inadequacies. I settled for only
listening to the show some early September which coincidentally,
the limit of back shows offered by the podcast player on my
phone.
Just so you know, the podcast feed is limited by design. We
can't have 700 episodes in a podcast feed it tends to break
the world.
Yes, no good. I've been planning on donating for a while but
there's a certain symbolism associated with being part of
the 700 Club. By donating I decided to wait and yeah, I'm
cheap too. So stalling a bit before sharing my filthy lucre
was a real easy decision. Mistake number one deciding to
do my taxes before sending that all y'all some bucks 700 I'd
actually allocate was slowly being whittled away and so he
ended up sending us this amount of wishes on here. I can't read
2385 Niner Okay,
and he has a little note here, forget this. You have to stick
you guys in behind that alphabet soup. But a bunch of these are
coming over 70 federal agencies that carry guns and allowed to
use them. And he's got a link to some I don't know. I can't
I'm not sure like it says, But he says like a busload of
politicians going over a cliff, ie a good start. Please consider
this but a tiny downpayment on my journey towards knighthood.
Well, thank you very much for supporting our show. It is
appreciated. Rogue
All right, Jeremy Cooper,
let me let me get my karma for that brand new listener. You've
got Carlos way to knighthoods.
And just distressing this thing with a spreadsheet? Yeah,
it's not like you don't hear it every single time on every
single episode for years. Why don't you tell me how you can't
see what episode number is on the spreadsheet?
kid doesn't say anywhere, right? I know. But I know what episode
it is. Yeah, this time. round numbers, spreadsheets show the
episode number.
I know. But but you know, the guy we pay him? Not much. But we
like
to do the spreadsheet. Alright. I think I don't know what he's
changing will change as you need to
you look, all of a sudden he's emails don't arrive in my
mailbox. He's doing something that's your mailbox is failing.
It's not my mailbox is failing. He his domain name has been
blacklisted. What? Yeah, no agenda nation. And the nation
has been blacklisted. Yeah. And so on. So now I have to find out
what list has been blacklisted on because my server picks up a
couple of these lists like spam house, etc. You get blacklisted?
And then you're you're screwed. You have to get off that list
because all these mail systems use it.
I know that's that's This to me is one of the
centralized problem. It's very, very bad.
And the to multiply the problem the way I see it is these lists
are pretty much 90% automated, so you can't really find anybody
to help you.
Yes, you can. Yes, you can. For $100,000 a month, you've got
these companies who will make sure that your email arrives.
Because they have all the deals with everybody with Yahoo and
Gmail. My Yeah, these are cool. These are companies that are
client are companies to these are a holes. These are the
lowest scum of the scum.
Let me find it. This is just an extortion racket.
Yes. whitelists company. Let me see what the name is. We talked
about these guys before.
Yeah, a guy. Right. It block it off, because it's so annoying.
Yeah, but
it's a fact of life. And I think it's, yeah, that's extortion.
Correct.
I think there should be some law we shouldn't work on legislation
says he's going to be taken over by the government anyway, I
think legislation would be a good idea.
Let's talk about that after we finish up this segment. Now.
Okay, where
was I? Jeremy Cooper $211.60 from Toronto square root of 700
times current year of the show eighth year. So it's the square
root of seven times eight is 211 86. Christopher Walker
208 33 and appear Wisconsin. Here's a 700 Quarter dollars.
Right ever put that in there for show 700 plus 3333. Thank you,
John and Anna, for sharing your time with us. I am elated to
have no agenda in my life. Huh? Yeah, on this beautiful black
night Sir Brian Barrow in Royal Road Ambassador acid as opposed
to Wootton Bassett. 200 He'll be an Associate Executive Producer
along with the other sub 300 People from black knight Sir
Brian Barrow. Congratulations on making 700 shows the landmark
with what is still far and away the best podcast in the
universe. Looking forward to the next 100 shows. And finally,
last but not least, are Mark Wilson the Baron of Glasgow in
the UK 200. Scotland 200. Gentlemen fine. Firstly, a
hearty congratulations on 700 Listen to your record recent
shows and have to say all have been fantastic. So please find
attached my value for value contribution. I would encourage
all producers who haven't already but could donate to
donate. As for all the boners out there, well, all I can say
is a phrase off used in western Scotland get to fuck. I believe
the donation brings me up to Baron see accounting below and
so I would like to be styled as the Baron of Glasgow. Best
wishes, Sir Mark Wilson. He's got some numbers there.
Eric is Eric is now mad. He's saying oh, it's not blocked.
Well, it's possible it's not blocked out. But I did have when
I was trying to use the ITM thing. If you remember in the
last couple of shows. It blocked me from going to this. They said
it was a no agenda message and it said whatever it said, I
think your email needs fixing.
No.
Well it won't take a reasonably large file. No, that's
the way I like it. I don't want a reasonably large file. I don't
want more than 10 megabytes. No. Maybe the spreadsheet was too
big. No. And I know it's getting a five five for policy
rejection, which may I'm thinking Eric Chang something on
his end i It's like, my system is stringent. It looks at the
Hello commands the receipt to command, it looks at everything
to try and catch a holes who are just be hammering every email
sender, an email server to try and get through to send spam. So
I think he changed something. And he has a configuration
issue. I will find out what it is later. All right. Well,
that's nothing changed on my end. So it's his his him
to be Yeah, oh, it could be one of those blockers in
my server said recipient address rejected which means he's
misconfigured his recipient address policy rejection abuse
go away, in reply to RCPT to command. So he's, he's doing
some kind of remailer shit, I'm slammed. Look, I know how this
works. Eric's a tinkerer? And that he'll blame me. Well,
that's what Tinker's do. All right, whatever. I don't care,
you got to think you read it. But that doesn't help me in this
one love to be I would like to ask people not to make their
notes. And he's got like two or three spaces. Actually, if I
took these spaces out of which I could. This is like spaces is
like one line space, one line space, one line space. So
there's a million spaces and here's two carriage returns. So
the thing takes up half the Mike's monitor. And then I can't
get to his name and the last line. And there's nothing I can
do about it because the way Excel is kind of crappy when it
comes to these sorts of things. Anyways, enough, that's good. We
want to thank everyone anyway, it worked out fine, especially
with the 700 club members and we do have a show on Thursday. So
if you want to sneak in and wiki a quickie, executive producer
associated now's the time guaranteed that Thursday people
are going to be those guys don't need any more money. No, no Not
at all. They're good, they're good. They're good to go. So get
yourself fun you know get in get away you can
thank you all very much. These are real credits. We'll have the
double producer ship mentioned credits today so it'd be quite a
long list in the show notes but we're very happy Thank you.
Thank you Thank you. Thank you to people who also specifically
said they were holding back from when the dark days come that's
also appreciated just keep us going. I think we're delivering
the value and I appreciate all the value we retreat we receive
in return and for Thursday show indeed please remember to vote
red.org/n
contradiction is the facts of this world and you will refer to
them
and remember we always need you out there propagating are
incredibly valuable formula.
Our formula is this we go out for people in the mouth
okie dokie Yay,
we're in the process of complaining. Who did the Roku or
Roku no agenda app?
I don't know if the Roku box isn't not working. No, it works
fine. And I liked that we have it because you can listen to the
no agenda show on the Roku box. But the world is a couple of
things that Roku has changed a couple of things too that bother
me but they they do have it doesn't show the current art and
every oh just has just some generic
Oh, I used to just it's the only shows one
version. No, it just shows that no agenda logo doesn't even show
the current art doesn't show any art. Yeah,
this is complicated. It says standards people should look
people make shitty software that doesn't adhere to the standards
and then you get this.
Yeah, it just never ends never ends.
Something strange happened that I caught and I'm always smiling
for some reason Clayton Morris is now on all the time on Fox
and Friends. Clayton has Natalie's husband. Yes, we know.
Yeah. And I just I just knowing Natalie del coyote now Morris
named Morris just knowing that camera goes, there's no way
Natalie must urge her to no end that he has to sit there and
roll out all this crazy stuff on Fox and Friends and the TSA
cable Someone there was a warning of some catastrophic new
threat to aviation. And when I heard it there was what it was
one of these were out clip that a clip half of this thing,
whatever it might be useful and then I live I was reviewing my
clips last night, and I listened like holy crap. This is this is
really weird. When is the first time you well you may be not a
good example but the first time I heard of the term or heard of
the product, thermite
I've heard a thermite.
And we've heard I heard this for the first time in relation to
911 Yeah, I heard about that thermite was listed. Yes, the
thermite was used to bring down the towers. This is one of the
many conspiracy theories.
Well, and everyone knows that they hold the junk off so fast
that before anyone can even look at it. It was a crime scene. But
Botha goes to the dump.
Yes. Well, and part of it went to China, I think. And they made
sure
we had a bridge over here and going to China and they made a
ship. Ship. They bring us a new bridge, which is filled with air
and bridges. Yeah, it didn't. And we send them the old bridge.
All right.
Now, so Clayton was wearing a pink tie. Natalie, you should
divorce this guy or a pink tie. You need to divorce this guy.
This isn't this is not going to end well for you to
know the guy.
Listen to this report. Let's start with this first thing,
this incendiary device, or this thermite bomb as it would be the
FBI issuing this warning. How concerned should we be about
these particular devices?
Well, I think thermite for one thing. It's not it's not really
a bomb. It's just an incendiary device like a large flare. But
the heat if one were able to be smuggled onto an aeroplane, it
would be pretty disastrous because the heat that is
produced by one of these things is so intense and melt steel get
it it would probably melt right through the the airplane alone.
Yeah, and we're looking at it right now on the screen here.
You can see how just quickly this thing melts down in that
pile of bricks obviously. It's so I'm listening to this and
it's an I think it's some kind of coded message or something to
mess with people's brains because he's talking about it
would it would melt right through everything you know then
that oh, look this thing is melted down to a pile of bricks.
You know what I mean? It was It was strange. A very strange
report from something that really in relation to aviation
terrorism was only mentioned as the way the towers were brought
down with thermite thermite and now it's now the apparently the
terrorists are going to be using thermite to bring down
airplanes. So it's just something in my spidey sense
when something strange here I guess it doesn't hit you the
same way.
Well, I'm not let me take a look. I'm gonna just read a
little bit about it. So I can see
that appear 30 seconds. I liked the
I liked the transition of thermite just Yeah. Okay geeky
for a reason. How often do they do this? And there has to be
some underlying reason they did this. Well, it's
interesting that you say that because when I talked to some of
my sources at DHS yesterday, they didn't really want to talk
too much about it. In fact, they said the entire issue about this
was classified so we can't get a whole lot of the why behind
this.
And fascinating this foster Clayton fascinating plaster.
Natalie, take your clothes off. Fascinating. Listen, this is not
sorry. It's the Tourette's here. This is the Tourette's This is
not fascinating. This is I think this might have something to do
with the 28 pages of the 911 report this because there's got
to be something about thermite that pops up somewhere in
rapport and we're conditioning people to get them ready. Oh,
terrorists use that.
Rod that guy. I think that's a fine thesis. I'm not going to
argue against that. I don't see any reason it wouldn't be
something like that. But I didn't even know this was was
showing up in the news. Well, I didn't realize there's so many
different kinds of thermite. You have to
figure this is another plant. This is this is nothing on
television is meant to give you truth. For instance, since we're
here anyway, Matt and Jen, let's go back, Matt and Jen. Jihadi
John, of course. I think when we're doing the show on
Thursday, they Oh, we know who he is. He's some douchebag. But
he's well educated. And he's not just some
as Piers Morgan. Hey,
didn't work any more
work before,
but apparently Jihadi John has been doing interviews in the
past. appeal has been around. And it's so obvious the guy has
been an asset somehow and the Daily Mail is, is, is now all
over him. But this guy who apparently was very tiny and
frail, and his friends doubted he could even handle the, the
recoil of AK 47, which trust me is not a lot. So there's not a
lot of recoil on that. But he doesn't look like a, you know,
like this frail boy in, in the so called beheading videos. But
anyway, so didn't get a lot of bull crap going on around this.
And Matt comes out with the obvious question, particularly
after Maria hearth went on every news show saying that the way
with these kids, these kids need jobs, because obviously they're,
you know, they have no hope. But this guy was actually educated
and he had a job. And he was I think it was not an dude named
Ben was not an IT. Guy somewhere, I guess. So Matt
asked the obvious
description of this person, whether or not this is or is not
his name, is of a middle class, college educated person who had
who had a job who had employment. And I'm just
wondering if the fact that that fact if it is in fact true,
gives you any pause to the idea that is primarily economic
disadvantage meant joblessness, that kind of thing that
you'd mentioned this on the previous episode. They have to
get their messaging straight.
This is bad, is disorganized.
And I think it's because the bridge came as he notice, he's
not even mentioning the name. The US officials won't even, as
far as I know, admit that this is Jihadi John, I think the
Brits are just running off on their own program, and it's not
coordinated. Certainly not with Marie Hart is fueling
this rise in Islamic extremists.
Well, let me just reiterate just for everybody, some on the
record points here, just so everybody
has, do you think she has talking points you want to write
down? So everybody has it done? I just want to make sure what
did you go sounds like went from my pen when she said that an
Islamic extremist? Well,
let me just reiterate just for everybody, some on the record
points here, just so everybody has done, we continue to
investigate the murder of American citizens by ISIL. We
will not comment on ongoing investigations and therefore are
not in a position to confirm or deny the identity of this
individual, broadly, one
way stop. They constantly yak about ongoing investigations is
not like a court case in Northern Virginia, that they
can't comment on because they're involved as a plaintiff is not
an ongoing investigation that has anything to do with the
legal system. So what's wrong with saying something? They do
it all the time, but in this case, they choose not to using
that bogus excuse.
And this is why our show will be deemed unlawful content
identity of this individual. Broadly speaking on your
question without addressing the specific reports about the
individuals, I think our view is that that is a factor in terms
of the lack of opportunity. But we're not suggesting it's the
only factor. There are a range of tactics that ISIL Of course,
take,
what does that mean? There's a range of tactics that ISIL takes
what does that have to do with this guy?
Well, it has to do with the question he asked, which is
calling them out on their bogus assertion that the only reason
that anyone's in ISIS is because they don't have a good job. And
the commentary that was done about a week or so ago in the
State Department, all we need to do is get them jobs, and they'll
be happy. And then this came out which by the way, those jobs are
paying jobs and ones they have which is shooting
Oh yeah. Really? They pay for that? Oh, yeah. Oh, I didn't
know ISIS paid money. Oh, yeah.
Oh, money. Oh, how much more than apparently the the Iraqis
getting in their little military operation? So I was they pay
well, that's what they had digital that money they paid?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's right. They stole that money. The billions? Yeah,
yeah. In dollar bills. I hear. They pay my angles in singles.
So you probably saw the video which I looked at it and when
that's bullshit, of so called ISIS destroying museum pieces.
Yeah. Which didn't know you saw this video. What did you see? I
saw guys making rocks tumble and busting them up. Plaster of
Paris. Well, a lot of them didn't look very, very well
made. Well
enter this nice little report where they brought in an expert.
And it turns out that these pieces they're not even in the
country. They're all in western museums, these are all replicas,
humble this
this cultural vandalism may not be quite as disastrous as it
seems. I got an archaeologist to look at the video. The statues
he said break like plaster not like ancient stone. So these are
replicas of this. Yeah, these look like you see the iron bars
coming out of them? Is it still an assault on the heritage of
the Iraqi people? It's
not content with the fact that it's fake that just just
breaking up some, you know, they made me
breaking up because they are fake. I mean, if I was one of
these guys, and I went to one of these museums, and moslem Museum
is where this supposedly took place. And I was going to say,
Okay, we got this stuff, let's loot it, and sell it for more
money, and split the proceeds and do that sort of thing.
Because there's apparently that has been going on. And you find
out so you say, I'm going to show I want to sell the station
that you get to wire back that statues of fake the real statues
in the British Museum? Oh, yeah. You bust it and stuff. And
so these guys are actually angry because they were duped. Yeah,
make sense? Yeah. Like it. Whoa, listen to
that does that in some way that makes more sense than just
careless? Because it's like throwing money away.
And this is also not how the report went? Because that would
have been the proper way to analyze it. They're pissed off.
Well, there's also I think there's one other element, they
wanted to do the associative even though this is an old
Association. Yeah, I know exactly what you're gonna say.
They wanted to do this associative thing by showing
that the Taliban is like the Taliban, who actually did ruin
some giant figure some Buddhistic. Stop there.
Just stop, listen to this report. This is how propaganda
works. And this is a beautiful example. In fact, I'm going to
start it over. She clearly says, This is not what it appears.
Then she has the expert that she brought in as a professor, he
says, now it's not it's not real. And you can see the iron
bars sticking out. And then she goes on to say, but this is
still assault on the cultural good of the country. And she'll
actually bring up the Buddha,
this cultural vandalism may not be quite as disastrous as it
seems. I got an archaeologist to look at the video. The statues,
he said, break like plaster, not like ancient stone. So these are
replicas of this. Yeah, these look like you see the iron bars
coming out of them. But it's still an assault on the heritage
of the Iraqi people.
If you look at how Iraqis are reacting, they're taking the
destruction of their cultural heritage, their identity
essentially, just as seriously as the beheadings in many cases,
maybe perhaps not as, but certainly as high priority
because this is something that deals with who they are as
people and they recognize it. Alright, let's
just again, I'd like to remind you, we just heard, these are
not actual cultural heritage pieces. However, apparently,
according to the same professor, the Iraqi people are responding
just as violently as towards the Bogota, beheadings, which there
were no beheadings, there were videos of beheadings where you
didn't see a beheading. So this this is this is this is the
definition of conditioning, the Western mind actually giving you
the truth, but just telling you ignore that.
Everyone remembers how the Taliban blew up the footers and
Bamiyan in Afghanistan sure
everyone remembers that association make the link click
brain got it. This is similar. Similar
you can't take those Buddhas in the side of that mountain and
sell them to the highest bidder
it's not similar at all this is similar all no it's not similar.
It's not similar.
And this appears at the demolition squad of the Islamic
State
the demolition squad now I'm sorry,
destroyed an original seventh century winged bull at the gates
to Nineveh the ancient Assyrian capital nimo. So
this they have video does look they actually did something
there to some bullcrap thing.
I think the wing boat is very important. I'm
sorry. It's very important
locally because it's one of the few objects that hasn't left the
country or hasn't gone to Baghdad. So much of ancient
northern Iraqi culture material culture is now in western
museums
for good reason. Yeah.
In Chicago and New York, and Berlin, do we rock or
what do you think that there's a possibility here that they beat
up that that minute tower because they couldn't get it out
of the country and we want to Kinesis everybody the your best
bet for all your antiquities is to give them to us because
they'll be safe.
Chicago with chewy the mayor.
This is just a complete bull crap thing to rationalize the
British Museum's theft of artifacts over all these years.
I think it has dual or multi purpose. One is to just convince
us that it's like fatale bong and and everyone's all Sad as
your douche Bay and all we're going to remember you can walk
out on the street right now and say, Hey man, what's ice? What's
the ice is demolition derby doing? Oh man Are they breaking
every day are the cultural heritage, the break and
everything in the museum in the break and they're breaking
replica culture
is now in western museums. It's in Chicago and New York and
London and Berlin and Paris. Now that's fantastic for us. But
that's pretty rotten for the people who actually live in the
places where this stuff comes from.
Let me think, what's more rotten, that your statues are in
Chicago or that you're being droned? I don't know which one
is more rotten. Or you have some bogus live army called ISIS with
American equipment. Gee, how does that work?
They've all saved fund books from the public. University
Libraries.
burn books, this is my favorite going for it. burning books.
Throwing gays off. No, that's Putin I'm sorry. No, no, ISIS is
throwing gays off the off the they haven't
made enough of a play on that. So some may be ancient Islamic
manuscripts. Or oh, man, yeah,
that makes so much sense. I
believe that religion demands the destruction of icons and
idols. But it's also aware of crushing the people they ruin
them with fear for the future by denying their past.
Okay, all right. I got something to change this so I got to
change the subject. Oh, I'm
away from the caliphate. Yeah, I
don't really have any good caliphate stuff.
I do one last caliphate and then we'll get out of it cuz I have
one left. You're gonna change the topic anyway.
Okay, play one more just to show
you how all in everybody is. Franklin Graham. Now he runs the
Billy Graham he's the kid he's kid Yeah, well he's not a kid
anymore.
Now is an older guy but he's he's like they just haven't the
same thing happened with Pat Robertson's kid. Jimmy Swaggart
kid. And now this guy's kid, this is bull crap. Yeah, these
these missionary types are these evangelical types. These bible
thumpers they were given, you know, supposedly, god damn near
came down and said, You got to preach. You've got to preach.
Now, how did their kids get involved? As they hesita? Hand
me down? Is it all of a sudden did their apprentices? I mean,
this is the obviously these guys are running a racket. And the
kids yeah, I'll take over the family business. Hell yeah.
Wait until you start working with Christina on this show.
Then he's on O'Reilly. And the only reason I picked this up is
because I don't watch O'Reilly was sent to me. But there are a
couple of things. And this is where you see how the propaganda
goes through all levels of organized everything. And of
course, this is organized religion. And this guy is he's,
yeah, he's full of it. But really, in a nutty way, Reverend
Graham, why
do you think the world will not unite to stop ISIS?
First bill, I think it's important for Muslims that are
watching this program, know that we love them and pray for them
in the world. I want Muslims everywhere to know that God
loves them. And he sent his Son from heaven to this earth, Jesus
Christ for them. That was the best way
exist when Jesus Christ was down here and he's receiving, okay,
but God sent His Son down to save them. Okay,
and build that the one of the problems that we have in the
West, is that our governments, especially in Washington has
been infiltrated by Muslims who are advised in the White House,
who I think are part of the problem.
I love this. Well, that's
that's a good point.
This is very good. Now, certainly Department of Homeland
Security. And we've discussed this and that. There were at the
senatorial commission or committee sent a letter. I'm
saying, Hold on a second. We've got all these people who are
members of proven front groups for terrorist funding, who are
advising and have access to Department of Homeland Security
Systems. I remember that. But now he's saying there's Muslims
everywhere. And the Muslims are they're doing everything. And
Bill O'Reilly give him credit, ask the right question.
And we see this also in Western Europe. They have gotten into
into the halls of power.
It's true. They, they they the evil Muslims have gotten into
the halls of power. When you say Muslim, such give me some names
in Washington. I don't know any Muslim advisors to President
Obama. Do you have any names?
I can get those for you, Bill. Boo, boo, boo, boo boo. But I do
know that they are there and
I've been told that there is real I've seen him I've been
told
that the influence I must say and they're sitting Next to the
president whispering in his ear, but they are in the halls and
they are speaking lobbying
groups to lobby but but Muslims in the hall climate change oh
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. Muslims in the hall
Alright, I've just wanted to say that this is what has happened
Hey, I
think you made your point like 10 minutes ago that was not a
clip worth listening to. The guy's a douche. I think you're
missing the bigger news here. There's big news that's taking
place and you're just completely oblivious apparently
if this if you're going to tell me that all right. Abby Martin
quit Yeah, well it was fired now we had this in the show notes or
three weeks ago
well she quit or fire we don't know she never says but I do
have some good clips she has been fired. You think I couldn't
find any reference to that she's been fired. Just read her blog
read how she said her blog she's still gonna say anything in the
blog she's saying is
if I can't find a new home she's gonna want to go to
crowdfunding. I think she signed
a non disparage a lot of these media companies now this is the
big thing that you do,
but doesn't mean you didn't get fired or release. I
know many non disparagement indications and why is this
bigger news? Well, because well, did you listen to that last
clip?
Being a 701 may never come people.
Did you see your last show? She's crying like a baby. I
didn't see it. Let's do you have the crime? Do you have the
crime?
The start with Abby ending one packed.
course of this show I've been most rewarded out in the field,
from Gitmo to Detroit. Getting to the heart of the story and
speaking to people on the ground. There's only so much
that can be done confined to a studio, and I'm excited to leap
into the unknown and follow my heart. So stay tuned. Breaking
the set has been the most hard hitting show on television by
far.
I'm going to help with the heart.
Did you know that
most hard hitting tell first of all, you're right. This is much
better than the Muslims.
Every single episode was packed with more information than you
get from an entire year of watching CNN.
Really? Wow, yeah,
you didn't know that.
I did not know that. i Well, that's I couldn't get beyond her
shitty delivery to watch an entire show.
That's why let's go to Abby to begins to cry. Hello, miss.
She's from Oakland. Is she not?
She was Yeah.
As well as carried a punch of the gutter ball, the Neo cons
war propagandists and lackeys demographers. But never in a
million years could I have imagined the amazing support?
This kind of show would generate, proving just how many
people are hungry out there for systemic change and raw truth
delivered from someone who's not a plastic automaton? We're just
great. Because the devil takes you an eye out of the equation.
I just can't report the horrors I immerse myself with on a daily
basis. Any Wait a
minute, did she say horse? No,
she said horror. Oh,
I can't report the horse
is not a plastic automaton. Which is great, because I just
can't report the horizont immerse myself with on a daily
basis any other way. It's been an amazing and a long, sometimes
hard road. I've lost some along the way, but I gained more than
I ever thought I could. It's been an incredible run, that
wouldn't have been possible without your support. So thank
you. I told myself I wouldn't cry, but here I am. But all good
things must come to an end.
Okay, now now this goes on. By the way. I cook a lot of dessert
that goes on forever. And then she finally this is Abby three
loses it where she's just in tears. Oh man. Oh, man.
Remember that nations are invented borders on visible
prejudices learned. We're all human beings. The same tears
every time a person suffers from Detroit to Gaza. That's our
brother. All right. fucky. fucky fucky. You got it. You
got it. Okay, well, now I have to punch line. Yeah, no. But
there's a punch line. This is this is the clip don't play it.
This is the Abby Martin closes the show with this. This is at
the very beginning of this show. After she goes through all this
stuff. She even has some guy who came on the show that said we
should take up arms and shoot those arms. The guy's dead like
a week later, and she's crying about that. So but this, she's
been on for three years, three years, and she's crying over the
Spilt Milk and the whole thing and all that Gaza and all the
Gitmo stuff, three years. This is how she starts the show. And
credits her show for this one thing that was so all important.
What's happening, y'all? I'm Abby Martin. And this is the
very last episode of Breaking the set. And this being our last
show, I am so pleased to see an enormous victory for them. One
of the issues I care most about net neutrality.
Oh, well. Oh, man. Well, no, I think the Clip of the Day was
appropriate for the clip because that was a great clip. Yes, but
this is idiocy.
Just wow. When I heard that, I said, Oh, man.
Well, good. Good riddance,
for Yes. Three years of all this good to greatest show in the
world aren't hitting. And she's at she claims that her big
victory was net neutrality. Yes.
Right. Good work, Abby. That's why you're off the air. God. All
right. Wow. Wow. You know, I wanted to like her. But she, she
had this kind of minutes and part of it. She's like, okay,
she is a chat room. Comment person. And what I mean by that
is, she gauges, everything she's doing on that type of feedback,
which as we know, is difficult, at best, because people are very
accustomed to just typing in vomit and diarrhea all the time.
And you don't necessarily get great feedback that way. You do
you know what I mean? Does this make any sense? What I'm saying?
Well,
no, not necessarily, but I know what you're trying to, I think
try and help me here to do something you find about her and
hurt that I think it's our naivete, which is what you do
you run into in chat rooms, or some who know it alls. They come
in and they say this and that and then they're full of crap.
They're just ad libbing. They're just acting like kids who can
answer questions. 12 year olds always do this. Yes. Get up. Let
me make it up. Yeah. And, and she had a photo sincerity. She
was Yeah. snideness that really bothered me more. I think she
was more snide than Rachel Maddow.
We're just we're just dancing on her grave here. This is
fantastic. Ah, you have no job. I dance on your grave. Oh, no,
we're analyzing what happened because she never turned the
corner on that show. Right. She never professionalized. You
know, she will. She could
not read. She could not read a prompter. She could not read a
prompter. She was
very poor at reading prompter, but she had three, three years
to learn, I think was a daily show. So she should have read
one by now. Maybe she should have cried more. Regular shows
like Glenn Beck made
a hay with that. I want to hear that crying again. That was
actually the last
one. Number three cry. Oh, yeah, Abby loses it. That's
number three. This is this is. This is a classic.
Remember that nations are invented, borders aren't
visible. Prejudice is law learned. We're all human beings
who played the same blood and shed the same tears. Every time
a person suffers from Detroit to Gaza. That's our brother. I
guarantee
you she will be co hosting Fashion Police on the E network
with us is exactly where she belongs.
Where she doesn't belong. Oh, I just found her a day. And you
know, I've found her to be never I found she'd never found
herself. She never relaxed into herself on the show. She was a
phony. Yes, yes. Yes. She was a phony. This isn't because I saw
the some old video of her she's an artist. She's actually
does she does or she has painting or mix me.
This is reasonably nice stuff. I mean, it's not high art, but
it's it's graffiti level. You know, it's kind of that kind of
stuff. And she but she has a sensitivity of an artist. And
she never showed that on the show. She was as brusque, phony
No at all.
No at all. Nish
never thought you know, she didn't feel comfortable doing
what? We around in heels.
Right. And she couldn't walk in the heels either. That bothered
me too. Right. We could never walk down those steps.
Women who don't wear heels ever can't walk in heels. I mean,
it's like nobody can walk. There's things are horrible and
shown by
the way, John, I've seen you in heels. Damn Good job, my friend.
Yeah. I can barely walk and shoot
Okay, all right. All right. All right. All right. So there you
go. Hey, that was your right. Not only were you right, you
nabbed a clip of the day, you save the show. 700 was on in a
tailspin.
Well, you get Billy Graham's kid and you name it. Let's
let's play clapper.
Clapper is always good.
What was 2014 2014 This is not about clapper 2000 14 As we
know, according to the president in the State of the Union, was
claimed as the hottest year on record ever.
We're burning up record ever even though the review dug up
the simple fact that 97 was hotter, but it didn't pay
attention,
I think was 95 and 97. I'm sure it was 97. And only 38% of NASA
and NOAA scientists, were pretty sure that it was the hottest
because, you know, they weren't really sure about it. And but
okay, and then no was data shows that 97 was hotter, fine. But
2014 is a good year to talk about and Clapper was up on the
hill, there was a lot of things going on. So I got this. I would
have wanted to play this on Thursday show. But it's still
valid here. Moving on to terrorism in 2013. Just over
11,500 terrorist attacks worldwide killed approximately
22,000 people. Preliminary data for the first nine months of
2014 reflects nearly 13,000 attacks, which killed 31,000
people.
When the final counting is done, 2014 will have been the most
lethal year for global terrorism. In the 45 years such
a data has been compiled. Yeah.
Wow. Last year was such a damn interesting year, a great
year and wait, there's more. About half of all attacks as
well as fatalities in 2014 occurred in just three
countries, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan. What could the
common factor be? In those three countries? Let me think, oh,
yeah, yeah, we we kill people there with drones. And we run in
and
assume that occupy your country is terrorism deaths?
I don't know. They should. But why should I be worried if it's
only in the sand? It's not over here. But that's how clapper
puts it. 2014 most terrorists year ever. I'm drawing this data
ISIL conducted more attacks than any other terrorist group in the
first nine months of 2014. And he already misspoke there. But
he has to credit the data. I pay attention. The data is
interesting and credit where credit's due, I'm drawing this
data from the National Consortium of the study of
terrorism and responses to terrorism or start. Yes, so this
was complicated, because I had to rewind this four times to get
the entire name of this outfit that it has claimed 2014 to be
the most terror killed death year ever. The National
Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and responses to
terrorism, start start, which is a part of the University of Hong
Kong. I think it's the University of Maryland, and
local. The local headquarter University of Maryland starts
supports the research efforts of leading social scientists, a
social scientist. That's interesting. And more than 50
academic and research institutions, each of whom is
conducting original investigations into fundamental
questions about terrorism. So these are the guys right? That
sounds like these are the guys where did they get their money
from?
Well, I'll tell you student tuition. The National
Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and responses to
terrorism start is a Department of Homeland Security Science and
Technology Directorate, Center of Excellence, headquartered at
the University of Maryland, apparently just paying rent it's
just clappers operation Funding is provided through a grant from
DHS and s&t Office of University Programs. It is the Department
of Homeland Security is paying for this and he's up there like
oh, well we have it's independent information credit
where credit is due
credit where credit is due. When you say credit where credit is
due. Me
Yeah, I find that that you want to talk about abhorrent that's
not okay. Start funders include Air Force Office of Scientific
Research Bureau. Let's see Defense Advanced Research
Projects DARPA isn't anything but independent Office of Naval
Research US Department of State US Department of Justice US
Federal Emergency Management Agency Hello FEMA Region six
here in OA but they still owe it starts the national consortium
yeah of the government. I can't believe this. I do. And of
course no one calls them on it. There is one guy and I am going
to play a little bit of this because these guys do this
stuff. It's like Code Pink, you know, Code Pink, they're always
in all the all the hearings. And what's her girl the little pinky
girl who started who and she's always getting thrown out Yeah,
you know, the lowly little lady. And there was a law professor
who
stands for by the way. I know Code Pink began as a I only know
this because of the
a Benjamin is her name Medea Benjamin
because there was a there's a unit of the of the Code Pink
near a delicatessen I go to, and they had all this stuff painted
up their Code Pink began during the Bush administration. And the
idea was the pink was to give Bush the pink slip. Oh, really?
I didn't know. Yeah, that's okay. Well, she's
the one that famously interrupted the president during
his droning speech. And so she's been pretty useful, but no
longer and this guy waited until the hearing was adjourned. And
then he just started yelling out questions, which are appropriate
questions. And of course, he immediately gets arrested. But
since this guy's doing it, no one ever will play what he did.
I mean, the went up to Capitol Hill, he waited until the
friggin hearing was over with clapper. And then he started
asking questions, and we thank both of you for being here,
sharing his journey. Director cloud
in March 2013, Senate Intelligence Committee about the
scope of NSA surveillance, what do you have to say to
communities of color that are so hyper policed and subjected to
extrajudicial assassination for selling loose cigarettes? He's
just yelling. He's like, why did you kill people for selling
cigarettes? Why did you perjure yourself? Why is your agency
above the law? Why is your agency above the law I love it?
That was good. It just keeps asking
what it's comedic agency.
Why is your agency above the law and it goes on for a couple
minutes? Well,
he did it after they closed the hearings because there's just
less further liability issues. If you're doing it during the
hearing and you're disrupting you could probably be nailed for
a misdemeanor I don't think you can do they can say anything you
know they can rescue but then they can't there's no charges.
What did you do wrong? I
don't know if they if they press yelling in the wind. Yeah, I
don't know if that's exactly what he was doing yelling in the
wind, but at least there was someone doing it. And I'm glad
because you never You never used to be back on the news and made
my day while protesters disrupt this guy was yelling something
and
no hear about that anymore. These days are over. I do have
one news clip I want to play. Okay. Which because I just want
to know if you've heard anything about this? I sure haven't. And
I was I gonna be heard about analogic zero. There's a long
report. I only have the beginning of it. And it's about
your neck of the woods cotton in Texas.
This is a global series on the falling price of cotton, which
turned out to the world's biggest exporter, the United
States, prices there have fallen dramatically and and partly
that's because of stockpiling in China. And concerns are growing
for the entire industry. And the Gallica reports from the cotton
communities of Texas, where farmers are facing an uncertain
future.
On the high plains of the Texas panhandle, only the remnants of
this season's cotton harvest remain. But it's a crop that
occupies those who live here all year round. Cotton has been
planted in these fields since the 18th century. And many
farmers have a deep connection with the land,
or the 640 Acres is for my grandparents come out here not
Dino footwork. I come out here in a covered wagon.
Bruce phone says cotton farmers and now in serious trouble. The
price of a bale of cotton is the lowest it's been in years demand
is down. And uncertainty about the future has Bruce questioning
his family legacy.
I don't know that all of my grandchildren really even want
to be able to farm because of the uncertainty. I don't know if
I'll be able to stay. Yeah, that's right.
I did actually I know about the cotton. I also know about the
rice farmers.
What's going on to rice farmers? Oh, they're
stealing our water?
Oh, yeah. You need water to grow. Right? Yeah. Well,
although although
they're not stealing it, though, the Lower Colorado River
Authority is selling it to them. And therefore Lake Travis is
empty. I believe this story is related to the TPP. That they're
starting this up now. So we can talk about how we need to fast
track the President's a free trade agreement.
But the argument is that the Chinese are stockpiling. I don't
know how that works without buying but they stockpile and
they're not gonna buy anymore and it's been down for the last
12 years. I believe this. I don't know why my voice is doing
this.
You're up. You're up talking. Really. It's really disturbing.
They did this in the silk market. Historically, years ago.
I mean, this was like a few years ago the Chinese do this.
At some point in history, the Japanese were the silk producers
of the world and they had they had developed a silkworm to
produce Okay, it was like a proprietary thing. And only
Japan was making this and it was it was a good business and
people were making a lot of money into Chinese are buying
the silicon making things in China with Japanese silk one
day, the Chinese decided to go it alone and get their own
Silkworms and then develop their own silk industry.
This is where the Silk Road came from. Right?
Yeah. And so they, and they decided to undercut the Japanese
to the point where the Japanese went out of business. This
Japanese silk is rare. Nobody makes it because the Chinese
decided they're going to make more silk, sell it cheaper, and
it's going to be the end. If Chinese do have a lot of stuff.
They never had the ability to change the pricing structures
and is and for all practical purposes, the Chinese silk
industries went to the dipinto to a depression, and the whole
silk business is ruined forever. And so how does that well, I
think they're doing the same thing with cotton. I think
they're gonna ruin the market cotton. They're gonna put these
four Texans out of business in California. We have a lot of
cotton here too. And they're just gonna ruin the whole market
for cotton. They're crazy. They're they, you know, they're
because he gets some scheme of foot. That's my prediction.
Well, that one worked well saying well, well bomb
them, bomb them and bomb them again. I'm telling
you, that's what we need to do. We need to kill them. Yes.
You know, I never heard this story until I was watching Al
Jazeera and they talked about I didn't know that. I didn't
even hear local Armbruster going bro, I didn't even hear it
locally. i By the way, in the hospitals Code Pink stands for a
possible infant kidnap. Oh, interesting now, necessarily No.
Wow. All right. I tell you what, why don't we go and take a look
at some of the people who have helped us out for show 700 on
the best podcast in the universe. I'm going to

So they'll be going out. They'll be out the door.
And thank you and please continue to support the program.
I think that we at least open the window. I know we do. We're
opening eyes. We're helping people, especially younger
people, we're helping people feeling good about being blas
and Dan, our great triumph will be net neutrality
of this, but we can just talk about it briefly. I don't really
have too much other than I found that a Verizon is response to
this was they they posted a PDF response in Morse code. better
way of saying, Oh, you're so old fashioned FCC. And then in then
they had another version because of course that failed. Because
most people have no idea what it is. They don't know how to
translate it the word, even though it's been around for 100.
I think Morse code has been around for over 120 years by now
still being used actively.
Probably was the more Samuel Morse probably guessing he did
that in the 1840s.
I should know. So that would
be a lot longer than that. I'll look it up. Yep.
Yeah, you do that. By the way, I'm gonna post a link to my
buddy Andrea for his Italian ham. And he made this Android
app, which is the Morse code machine or something. He's
called it and you want so he's gamified learning Morse code is
really Oh, that's a good idea, actually. And he has like a
leader board and everything. And you play this game for an hour
or two. Before you know, you know, you're doing Morse code.
It's it's it's a very interesting game, I'll post a
link to it.
1836 There you go. 1936 58 is almost 170
years now. They
are very good at actually.
So the FCC, they come out and say oh, you know what? We we
voted and we're going to put this under Title to pretty much
kind of like the President's plan. But there were some
changes because Google put some changes in but we're not really
going to show that because when he dissent first, and as
predicted, we had three days to Nays. So the nays will provide
their dissent, which I which is like the Supreme Court, I guess,
where they provide an opinion on why they disagreed with
the two men. I have. I clipped all I don't have today's show,
but listening to these two areas. And we have Wheeler, of
course, just a stooge for Obama. But listening these two women
going on and on and on and on. I didn't know
but Sadek. Well, the part that's pathetic is there's no document
to look at.
Yeah, well, I know. And everyone's all in on it. Oh,
this is fantastic. That guy got it. declaw I should have Well
hello, Abby,
Abby Martin's.
Abby Martin is a good example celebrating, but what's his
name? The Minnesota comedian that Frank and Pete did send a
press release out to everybody with a clip of going on about
how great this is now, even though I don't know that he's
seen it. And we have no idea what this document says. So how
can it be great? Oh, Frank,
let me just say we have that Tim. Why didn't you clip that?
I you know, I was thinking now that you mentioned it. I
shouldn't because Al
Franken pontificating about how great he is is always funny.
Yeah, well, I can if
it's Thursday show up. It's up on Thursday. Well, I can
I can play the video right here. I've already found it if you
want it Okay, well just play it if you think is worth it, we can
try now it's
mostly just you all this is great. You know we finally now
we don't have to worry anymore, that the government here Here's
where the argument is. We don't have to worry anymore because
our fears are lessened by the government coming in and taking
over the internet. And it's good,
and we love it. Net Neutrality one. But I do have a question.
Hold on. Let's Here's Frank. And let's see what this is. This is
local news. And wow, they don't know how to do anything. Hi,
Aaron. Hi, Aaron. Oh, this is a Roth and you're breaking Andrew,
apart from Fox Nine News here. Oh, is this is the press
conference today good again, and
put out the the call to my Twitter followers to see if they
had any questions.
Oh, this is actually good. This is this is this is a satellite
feed to our guests. He's just doing one interview after
another. Oh, cool. And so here's the journalist, I emphasize the
word journalist sucking up to him. Right off the bat going,
hey, hey, man, I sent out to my Twitter followers. Hey, I
put out the the call to my Twitter followers to see if they
had any questions on that fatality for you. But the one
that kept coming back is why you didn't participate in SNL. 40.
Okay, I'm closing this out now. Wow. Jesus, sorry, did not mean
to take the Lord, the son of the Lord's name in vain. Here's the
one thing that that hit me was Wheeler and the president and
we're hearing consistently a free and open internet. Yeah.
And it hit me this has to be code. And I went looking for the
genesis of free and open Internet. Eric Schmidt, Google.
This is as far as I can tell, he started this, this free and open
Internet. And Google was in on the final decision, because they
and this was reported least. Here it is. Now they have a
forthcoming conference, all about the free and open
Internet. This is a Google term. And as far as I can tell, it
originated with Eric Schmidt. meaning to me, also, the lack of
I'm not hearing any, you know, huge noise from Google, whatever
was done is going to benefit Google. And it makes a lot of
sense, because, you know, the Obama administration and, and
Schmidt and go these guys are I think they've kind of all been
playing together for a long time. Net Neutrality, the White
House, and as presented by the President a free and open
internet, it's code.
Yeah, but code for what? Well, whatever
they got, we're not sure exactly what it is. But whatever is in
this document, is going to benefit Google. That's, that's
as far as I've got. Because I don't
have the dogs involved. You can be sure it's gonna benefit
Google. And Google's Of course, putting the fiber everywhere
they can very slowly, I might add, oh, it's been
wildfire in Austin. Well, I'm
talking about slowly in a national from a national
perspective. Yeah, they get to ASO they put a fire up as fast
as they can. But it's not. It's not. I don't see it. I don't see
it coming. So that to me is slow, very better shot at
getting fiber from sonic.net. Who is going to put fiber up to
right, although I think somehow he's going to get screwed in
this deal.
So here is the FCA, the EFF the Electronic Frontier Foundation,
who I have very little regard for over the years I've become
very disappointed they take money from Google. And their
post is dear FCC. Thanks for listening to Team Internet. And
they lay it out the FCC voted three to two to reclassify
broadband Internet access as a common carrier service under
Title two of the Communications Act. And forbear from forbear
from the parts of the act that aren't necessary for net
neutrality rules. This reclassification gives the FCC
the authority to enact and enforce narrow clear rules which
helped keep the internet the open platform it is today. And
nowhere in this press release. Does the EFF mention the
blocking of legal content and network traffic? The actual
order they say is over 300 pages long and it's not widely
available yet. Details matter. Watch this. Yeah,
good question online this is not going to cost anything to print
the reason
why is because this is intended to be a political football, it's
just going to be a politicized nothing changed. By the way,
everyone who's saying change,
there's going to be a bunch of court cases because they do what
they did to the mobile carriers and those guys have got the deep
pockets, and they're gonna go after but in the meantime,
in the meantime, what you're going to see is people already
believing that this is in place. This is what you have To watch
or it's going to be funny. Wait a minute, it's net neutrality
man, we won the battle we talking about watch. But no idea
that this is your right. There's nothing definite, and certainly
not until it's published in the Federal Register. And then
they're going there will be immediate challenges as
predicted, because what they're doing is already been through
the court system with the EPA, you cannot change a regulation
as an agency, just to make it better for what you want. It has
to it has to be a congressional change. This is intended to be
to not work.
But it's a scam. It's a political a whole thing is a
scam.
But everybody, everybody will believe that it's that we've
won. Well, good. I don't know if that's
good. I believe they won. So but to and I'm sure there's a bunch
of that kind of thing in this bill and this regulation. They
put everything but the kitchen sink, no
doubt, no doubt. Let's see, what do I have here? Oh, yes, Mike.
Morale was on Charlie Rose. Mike Morel. Yeah, he was the
assistant CIA director.
Oh, right. There a quit? Yes. What do you have to say?
It was very interesting. He was talking with Charlie about the
Iranian centrifuges. And that this is the deal. Right. This is
the deal that's ongoing. We have is Bibi coming to town? Is it
this week where it comes and speaks to Congress. And
Netanyahu is going to talk about this bad Iranian deal that we're
putting together. Which
is okay. So this Wednesday, maybe it's something like that.
Now, as, as you understand it, what has been told to us,
although I believe there's something else going on what the
idea is we want to limit the amount of centrifuges Iran has
so they can make a bomb? Is that what you've heard?
No, I have no idea what's in the woods proposed. I don't know
about the number of centrifuges having anything to do with it.
Well, Mike Moreau believe so and he thinks it's very strange.
Let's
come back. Let's come back to the deal, right.
I love how he's little Silicon Valley man now. Right. Right.
Let's talk about the deal. Right.
Let's come back. Let's come back to the deal. Right. Right.
Right. So I don't think the focus should be on the number of
centrifuges. In fact, there's a great irony here, right? 5000
centrifuges is, if you're just going to have a nuclear weapons
program. 5000 centrifuges is pretty much the number you need.
If you're gonna have a power program, you need a lot more
centrifuges. So by limiting them to a small number of
centrifuges, we're kind of limiting them to the number you
need for a weapon. And a great irony here, right? Why don't we
recognize j right? After every sense?
Well, it gets better. Yes, he does. So Charlie Rose says,
Well, hold on a second. Mr. Wright. How can we don't
recognize this as I don't know, as a as media would be one way
and say, hold on. This is bullcrap. Why are we limiting
them to the amount that is only needed for a bomb and not for
power here? Why don't we do what? Charlie Rose says, Why
don't they recognize he goes? I don't know. Elizabeth,
why don't we recognize that? Well, I don't know. Oh, well,
it's a very important question. I mean, you'll know it's very
important question. And I'm not around the table. And you know,
what kind of argument
I would make a disclaimer, but I'm not around the table. Well,
I found that to be strange.
It's very strange. And so this guy comes on. Right. Right. And
he makes his assertions. Right. Right. And he, why is he on the
show at all? I don't know. I gotcha.
I don't know. indicating a message. Well, obviously, BB is
coming to town. So I presume it's a hot button, which is a
topic and we got to be all over it. And there you go. There you
go. It's apparently it's enough for a bomb but not enough for
the it's the set up BB to bring this factoid forward. And of
course, ignore the Al Jazeera Spygate stuff where they've
already discovered all the memos from the Mossad that has been
completed that has just disappeared even from Al Jazeera
but it's in the show notes. We put a copy. Yeah, put a copy of
it. Yeah, we did. Although the I love how AlJazeera did it the so
they release a PDF and it looks like an old I think it's
manufactured I don't think that the memo was actually on a legal
pad.
No, because it was digital. The guy kept emphasizing that it was
a digital leak.
Right. But when you look at the document I'm bringing it up now
just look at it. It looks like it's printed on yellow light was
type written Yeah on yellow paper yes bullcrap with
AlJazeera logos in it yeah it actually I don't think this 2012
that they were printing this stuff out on
no yellow paper this is a this is a fabrication creation and
fabrication so they could just I don't know give it more grimy
toss or whatever you want to say to the idiots that would
download it and look at that oh this must
be must be real must be genuine when the guys
specifically said it's a digital leaders that are just, you know
just reams of digital stuff it wasn't copies of documents
range. Now this is this whole thing is we have to wait to the
Netanyahu guys done to see what the fallout is. But this guy's
got to go. I don't understand why he's being undermined
everyone's story so radically being undermined everywhere. So
they're trying and the Jews and the Jews in America, you know
all the Jews. I know they're pissed off at him. They do not
like him. Like you don't talk we don't speak on our behalf
because that's what he said. I speak on behalf of Jews
everywhere. He's the Jew master.
And that would be annoying. The New York Jews I
know is had no no he doesn't guys in a whole
night stays in power. Let's have a very vacuum of power vacuum in
Israel.
I was I saw something very disturbing, which was completely
mishandled on MSNBC. Yeah, but I actually for the first time they
typically I'm not a Mika Brzezinski fan. You know, mica
is although she has MILFy qualities, which I do like about
her and she and she has strange mannerisms which make it
interesting to watch. In general. She is the spawn of the
evil New World Order Illuminati shill Brzezinski. So, you know,
the bloodline is ruined in her she's no good. She's, uh, you
know, you did you throw that one back. Oh, good. But as a
television hosts, co hosts with Joe Scarborough, Joe
Scarborough, yeah. Joe Scarborough. It's interesting.
Because she does have a direct line to the Illuminati. Her old
man, the big Zelich, Mr. Misters, a big and something
happened. And I will have to narrate this a little bit. They
were playing the video of John Boehner, who was the he's the
spokes hold the boss of all the Republicans. And he you probably
saw this where someone asked a question about Cardno and he
went, he went and he went made this kissing kissing thing
towards the journalist.
Tell me No, I did not see this chase.
Are you kidding me?
I'm not kidding you. Okay,
so something is asked of Joe. It's about the it was about the
elite
kissy sound in reference to your being a kiss ass.
Yeah, it's well, no one really knows. That was the reason you
do that. It was really creepy. No, the question was, you're
kissing somebody's ass. You're being called out, right?
But if you watch the video of Boehner doing it, it was
unclear. It was like what are you doing? You're creepy. It was
really creepy. So they play this, this clip and it's it no
one really knows why he's doing this. The question wasn't really
suck ass or kiss ass. Maybe there was something going on
between Boehner and the journalist that we don't know
about. So they start discussing this. And they start putting
this into a loop. They play the this kissing thing that Boehner
does over and over again. And it triggers a childhood trauma in
Brzezinski. But no one no one's listening. And she has to walk
off the set here.
Was he kissing Luke? No. Todd's Willis was kissing. Okay. Well,
I just really don't under like I'm not satisfied with any of
these.
Why do you think that's Mika Brzezinski screaming when she
sees this video? So she has my attention because I can't make
any sense of it.
I know a lot of 30 year old men who did that to me.
She says I know a lot of dirty old men that did that to me.
And but of course this was a female reporter asking the
question No,
but and then of course we have the all the men on this show are
like and listen though. I know a lot of dirty old men who did
that to me. Oh my god
Oh, later beta reporting now listen to what she says next.
Bad memories that brought back bad memories. spending bill.
publicans trying to read this. Immigration fight movie camera.
laughs because she cannot handle what's going on. So she has now
walked off the set. The camera is catching her behind. She's in
tears. She's crying. She's like, don't look at me. And then
Scarborough says, Where are you get back here. Jeremy continued
to a speaker split guys up. And so they have the shot of her and
she's crying she's sobbing uncontrollably.
She's not laughing or No, no, no, no, this girl sound like she
was laughing when she first refer when she was
really nervous laugh and then when you hear her say, this
brings back some really bad memories. Do this woman has been
sexually abused and no, and they're laughing at her and
telling her to get back here. This girl needs help. Cheese.
I'm serious. I'm serious. I can. I'm telling you. This girl has
been abused. And God knows what kind of Illuminati the child
sacrifice baby eating shit they do with Zbigniew Brzezinski at
the Bilderberg but this woman has been traumatized by it. She
needs help.
Well, she was sounds traumatized. Yeah, that I'll
give you Yeah.
And let's look at her dad. You know, the eating babies.
Second half of this show.
In the woods, I'm telling you. I just felt really bad for the
first time I have some compassion for Brzezinski.
Yeah, well, she may be MK Ultra furl, you know,
that would make a lot of sense.
All right. Well, yeah. Here's just a good I got a good segue
clip. Everybody dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, everybody.
What is that? No, that's not a good clip. That's not a good
clip. I'm going to wind it up. I got two things for me. I'm done.
You have anything to end up with?
I get stuff but I'm gonna move it to Thursday since the show's
running. So yeah, we're
running over. Yeah, but we had to do that because he had a lot
of thank you. It's a 700 episode. Come on. Can we party a
little bit? Can we just exactly. Amen.
CPAC is this thing that CPAC I just picked. I needed to pick up
two clips just to two clips. That's all actually. It's Carly
Fiorina. She's a
Republican dish and a Franklin Graham again. Is it though?
It's Carly Fiorina as a Republican? Yes, yes. She's been
a longtime Republican Republicans. Rick Perry first.
I've always felt Rick Perry is a he was the former governor of
Texas. I wish this was a dude I could grab a beer with make me
look smarter with glasses while he's wearing the glasses. And I
always thought the pairing would be a guy. I can drink a beer
with this guy. He may not be a total douchebag Well, guess
what? I was wrong. Yeah, this guy is a human. Not a total he's
a humongous douche bag. Course. biggest douche bag of all
douchebags. Listen to him. At no time. At no time in the last 25
years. Is the future been more uncertain? And the world more
dangerous? Fuck you. No, no than it is today. Oh, this is what do
not vote for this man. If he runs for president. This is a
dick. Trying to scare old people watching foreign
douchey scaring the old people in CPAC. It's worse than
that. On three points. We must be clear. We must be clear. Are
you trying to get someone's attention? Perry? First. Our
country has entered a time of testing and our political
leadership is failing the test. Some shuttle in the backdrop?
Yes. The American people see a president who boughs to
political correctness in denial of the threats that we face
making grave miscalculations that make the world less safe.
Ah, this administration's incompetence in Iraq and Syria
have allowed the emergence of ISIS
and listen to this guy. So you really going to tell me that
ISIS is real? This is really what you're going to do. Perry.
Do you think that no one in your state has any brains, you should
be tarred and feathered than run out in the dress. You were on
the weekends.
There in American tanks, they're using American weapons G and
ISIS began taking cities that just a few years ago, were
secured by American blood. Bad Blood be very, very clear about
who ISIS is. Please, they represent please. Hey are a
religious movement that seeks to take the world back to the
seventh century. Yeah, right.
No, no Oh, and no again. So I hate this guy now i He had a
shot with me but all this bull crap, just total lies.
Right. Then we had like that clip gives another one clip to
Carly Fiorina.
And she, the she's all over Hillary, you know the the new
news possibility.
I agree that may be happening. Oh, I see what you mean. Oh my
gosh, hey, oh.
So the news is that when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State,
gee, it turns out, there was gambling going on. And up to
seven nations contributed money to the Clinton Global Initiative
Foundation. Oh, really? No kidding.
She tweets about women's rights in this country and takes money
from governments that deny women the most basic human rights
Yeah. Hillary's got a fight on our hands. I love it.
Well, she does. Yeah, I think Hillary does have a fight on her
hands. There's not a cakewalk and she treats everything like a
cakewalk so she's gonna lose Hello, Elizabeth Warren.
Yeah, well, I don't know man. I might I have my doubts about
Warren but okay it could be could be
been saying it since the first day she emerged when she got
that job some staying the course.
And then just because it's gonna get stale if we don't at least
mentioned it now our dudes named Ben This is probably the one of
the funniest thing that I've that I've heard. As we had
followed the emails that disappear that were deleted were
removed was hard drives crash decimated. What was the guy's
name? The the crisis manager was brought in Kochi? Conan, what's
his name? The guy?
Yeah. Round headed bowling ball guy.
Yeah. The IRS. Interim
guys as a glib, Mr. glim. Mr. glib.
What's his name?
I don't know. His name.
Director will be director would be his title. IRS. Yeah, that
guy. Been here we have Mr. glib, like, oh, I don't know. Oh, my
understanding is a bit anyway. Hey, guess what? They found the
emails. Sure backed up. Yeah. Hey, back while they were
waiting to be filed in the mountain there in West Virginia.
Here's a news report. Just to wrap
it up. It is the closest the Treasury Department Inspector
General has come to acknowledging potential criminal
wrongdoing and the Lois Lerner affair.
Are you investigating any potential criminal activity? The
entire matter continues to be under active investigation. Yes,
sir. For potential criminal activity. Yes. Event revelation
during a rare late night hearing in which the IG disclosed his
office has obtained to 32,000 Lois Lerner emails from backup
tapes stored at the IRS as Martinsburg, West Virginia
facility. IRS officials have maintained that the emails were
gone, destroyed in a hard drive crash. I'm advised the actual
hard drive after it was determined that it was
dysfunctional and that with experts no emails because we
retrieved was recycled and destroyed in the normal process.
Last night's testimony suggests the IRS made a less than
vigorous attempt to track down the emails.
And then when you go talk to the IT people who are they're in
charge of them. They told you that they were never even asked
for them. Is that correct? That's correct.
Yeah. Actually, and this is the kicker. The IRS employee tasked
with trying to restore and obtain emails on Lois Lerner's
IRS computer harddrive Stephen Manning, Deputy Chief
Information Officer for strategy and modernization at the IRS is
legally blind. Wow. So they went to the blind guy. Did you see
any emails around here? No, I don't see any nothing here.
Wild Well, this is gonna turn out bad for somebody. Because
it's not going to mean anything. It's already over the sort of
forgotten story. Nobody cares and everyone's water under the
bridge.
At least we are the ones that like to come back to it once in
a while. Yeah,
come back to these stories because their stories are not
necessarily done. And Chaffee obviously comes back to it he's
in there pounding these guys. He's worked seems like he's
worked all the time. Unless clip Oh, I'm
sorry. I was already into the new word. But I'm gonna play the
last time because
it's gonna get stale. All right. This was my you know, we hear a
lot about Iran and no, and they're having the they did
some. They did some missile testing and they blew up an
American battleship. Yeah. And I just got this clip because I
thought it was so funny because it kind of had a punch line to
it describes the situation.
Iran staged a major show of military force today taking aim
at a life size model of a US aircraft carrier, state
television broadcasts war game near the entrance to the Persian
Gulf spectators looked honest speedboats raced in and try
missile batteries fired on the mock up doing heavy damage. The
US Navy dismissed the exercise, a spokesman said they've
attempted to destroy the equivalent of a Hollywood movie
set.
Thank God for the repeal of the Smith Mundt. Act, everybody
that, you know, it really made news that much more
entertaining.
But it's a lot more entertaining. And it's good
thing we're here. And we want to thank everybody for helping us
with show 700 because we recognize this and we recognize
it for like hundreds of shows hundreds of hundreds, hundreds,
and we make it so everyone who listens to that what we do,
which is pretty much deconstruct what's going on and do some
original reporting to although we don't need to. But we have
boots on the ground. So we might as well. It makes everybody who
listen to the show feel better about themselves they go they're
happier, they get to see the joke of the of the situation,
the way it is they can see reality a little better. They
more or less can spot some of these things as they come along
in advance of the show, not all the time. And sometimes we can't
do that unless we're talking to each other. And then we can
deconstruct on the fly because this is the performance. And all
that sort of thing makes I think makes people healthier. And I
think they're gonna live longer. And I'm glad that they're
supporting us because they know there's nothing else like this
the best podcast in the universe. Well said
I could not have put it better. John. Nailed it. Coming to you
from FEMA Region six here in the capital of the drone Star State
in downtown Austin Tay Haas. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley, where it's beautiful.
For some reason. I'm John C. Dvorak.
700 shows 701 on Thursday right here. On no agenda
remember that nations are invented, borders are invisible,
prejudices learned. We're all human beings who bleed the same
blood and shed the same tears. Every time a person suffers from
Detroit to Gaza. That's our brother. I think his first name
may have been Ben. So a guy named Ben a dude named Ben. I'm
a great admirer of Mitt Romney's. My illegitimate son
Lindsey Graham is exploring that options.
Thank you for taking the time to listen. Adios mofo man.
