You'd go in pretty far with the with your hose. Adam curry, John
C. Dvorak.
Sunday, March 8 2015 times you get my nation media
assassination episode 702.
This is no agenda.
Celebrating all the girls I've Loved Before thrive from the
Russian oil transport hub of the world Rotterdam and other ones
in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry, and from
Northern Silicon Valley where it's called International
Women's Day. I'm John C. Dvorak. Baden Buzzkill.
Did I get something incorrect?
International aid is the leading cause of death amongst women.
Masturbation. Dementia. Oh, wow. I knew that actually. Why would
you know that?
Because I have known several women whose mothers have had had
or have dementia. And I know women who are who have it in the
family and are worried about it. And you know what's really fun?
Fun. You say to these women, you say, Don't you remember I told
you that? I'm telling you, it's a great gag. Like no. Oh, oh,
it's okay. Honey, don't worry.
I barely you, Kip is going to invest 130 million pounds per
year to research and fight dementia. Okay, that's how you
got it. That's where I'm just reading from.
Well, it's good that we that we talked about that because today
is International Women's Day. And right off the bat. I find it
interesting that certainly in the United States, women get
screwed out of a whole hour of their 24 hours. Sorry. Well,
daylight savings time went into effect.
Did we got screwed out of the hour too. You know, I know that
but it did. We're not nice. Dude. You're saying that Women's
Day? Yes. That's a good one. There's
no equality. Yeah, he
only get 23 hours it gets. I'm telling you that inequality is
built right in. You think that they would bitch. Well, they
always get paid less money. They get less hours. Actually, I
get this you're gonna love this. This is what's her name? The
Facebook woman Sandberg, Donna Sandberg. What's your name?
Donna Sandberg.
Sheryl, Sheryl from now on known on the show as Donna Sandberg.
She's always talking about what was her big thing is you're not
getting paid enough. You can't be you know,
leaning in and don't be bossy
talk about raising children in the home and raising the next
gender equality generation. And you talk about chores in the
household and how we're sending messages sometimes the wrong
ones to our kids right now. What that's right. There is a toddler
wage gap in this country, toddlers, toddlers in our
toddler wage gap jaw, a toddler wage gap. Boys do fewer
chores than girls and get paid more. And for any woman who's in
the workforce that feels pretty familiar.
Did you do this in your household John? Bull crap. Can
you believe this?
I find Yeah, I can't say Can she but she had a whole vision about
everything. Could you imagine being one of her kids? Holy
mackerel. She had this whole thing of you're a boy. She had
this whole making wearing a dress.
She had this whole thing going which was okay, I didn't agree
with a lot of it. But at least it was serious. And now this a
toddler wage gap. Please
take out the trash doesn't take that long to take out the trash.
Or draggers set the table takes longer.
No it does not. How big is your family of Sandberg? You got 20
People garbage. Thank you fanatically. I
never liked taking out the trash. I don't know if you're
right. I would I prefer to set the table. It's inside the
stinky garbage. I was fine to pull that off on my brother. And
that's your choice. But I bet you didn't like doing more
chores than your brother and maybe that didn't happen in your
house.
Yeah, no, maybe that doesn't happen everyone's household
Donna I also had to empty the waste baskets. It took a lot of
time and yeah. And and my sisters would have gum in there
and you have to scoop it out and
why do you have to scoop up gum
because they would throw it in the wastebasket and it would be
extinct would be sticking to the side it was no bad.
Oh you did? Why did you put a plastic garbage bag in there?
You know I That's a good question. We had those more like
a waste like a paper wastebasket. Not a garbage can
in our rooms as kids. Just a
just a paper bag or basket. Like get some get some bags for us
that no,
no like baskets, you know baskets where it's more like a
cone is open. It's larger diameter at the top.
So the sisters were a couple of gum chewers tell him
if anyone Ah, yeah. Oh yeah, total total gum. chewer. No bad,
bad, bad, bad.
So she's still gum. Sure.
I don't know. I'm gonna see her next Monday or Tuesday. So I'm
here it will listen to the International Woman's Day just
for a moment. So first of all, I find that not okay that women
get screwed out of an hour.
Only United States though. Yes, of course. Yeah. We're the
wellness American, Western American Way
screw women. We don't care about them. But I find this strange
because obviously, internationals Women's
International Woman's Day falls, I guess on the same day every
year. Do you know that? I don't know. Which of course is
simultaneously the anniversary the one year anniversary of the
MH 370 disappearance? So maybe last year, we just didn't we
just there was so much to do with Richard Quest. On CNN that
we were too excited about him that we that we didn't recognize
you where we didn't recognize a new report came out and if you
have followed that on the MH 370 about 500 pages, pretty much
everything we knew except for one minor detail. The locator
beacon, the locator beacons battery apparently had expired a
year earlier. So this thing may not have been working at all and
the end the excuses given is by any aviation standards it is
inexcusable and someone needs to be fired and maybe worse the
anomaly of the expired battery see was due to a computer glitch
Ah yeah, that's not acceptable these things need this is the
whole point in aviation maintenance is everything has to
be completely documented. Every screw has a lifetime value of
including your locator beacons even I had a locator in my in my
Cessna one I had it I missed that plane and I was personally
responsible for making sure that it was switched out within the
timeframe and it says it right on the box itself or now you're
not going to look at that near your triple seven but it's
inexcusable that's not how it how it works in aviation Well,
I think it was part of the whole I think it was just general
policies of the Malaysian Airline just doesn't sound like
a good carrier. I wouldn't fly him no you know, one time I went
up to Boeing to do an interview with the company over some of
its new stuff and years ago
like new planes or war stuff what kind of stuff
civil stuff I did this when they were going to do these giant jet
engines that had giant props on me remember this era in the mid
80s They had these new designs for I don't remember the science
for jets that is huge. It was just it was like the fan inside
the thing is it was outside they did they never
Yeah, that didn't that didn't really that didn't fly funnily
enough. It looked
like he was going to chop the crap out or whatever came around
with it anyway you went so I went there and I started just
you know gossiping with the engineers and I got a hold of
one of these guys I'm saying what so what's the you know,
we're talking about maintenance. So who's the worst carrier?
Asked them with the worst carrier
and he gave you an answer?
No. But he did indicate that it was in Asia somewhere right?
No kidding.
He says some of those guys they just forget the Jetson they we
do whatever we can we have to we're always on him to get these
things can maintain these planes but they just won't do it
well in some countries I guess they don't give a crap Yeah. But
anyway, I'm in Rotterdam the Netherlands John. Yeah, you
can't even tell can you know? I might. In fact I might just be
back at home in Austin.
You could be this could be bullcrap. No I'm here with no
way for me to find out the Skype inside
well no I took a picture of a Christina Anna here in her house
and brought it in for the last time you were there. Yeah, sure.
We have some photographic goings it is not snowing has been very
cold. And Christina is in this an interesting little play she's
got here it's one of those that is half below street level. And
so it's on the ground. Yeah, you see Yeah. So the your
head just above the sidewalk?
No more like my the mid above my belly button. Okay, you can I
can see out the windows yesterday kind of in the in the
half basement. And these places are old. And so she has a gas
heater stove heater in the living Room and that's all she
has. Gets his place. In a nice bedroom living room, a dining,
living room dining room thing. Yes.
At least she's not I like to think of a bucket of coal.
It's only a step above. It's not much of a step above that, I
guess is what I'm saying. But it's nice being in Rotterdam.
And the sun is shining today. That is good, but I find it very
cold. Everyone's Oh was fantastic. The sun is out. Okay.
They're just happy with the sun
he's got in from Texas.
Exactly. It's a little problematic for me. Oh, I
learned something on the flight over John. We have no agenda
travel tip. Okay, so I so if I had to go to Atlanta first. And
by the way, all of this it really the airport was crazy.
Berks from airport on, and I always forget that Friday
afternoon, it's not a good day, if it's not a good time of the
week to fly.
No, it's the worst time because people are these days. You know,
commuters that use the they go to work for five days, and they
fly home for the weekend.
Right. And but of course with the show and everything, that's
kind of the only way I can do it. And then there's only really
one flight that I that makes sense to connect from, from
Austin to Atlanta, Atlanta to Amsterdam, and it's on Delta and
KLM. And they're supposed to be kind of the same airline.
Apparently, there was some kind of equipment failure earlier in
the day, I think like in the early in the morning. And there
were a lot of people who needed to go to Atlanta who had been
waiting there since eight or nine o'clock in the morning. And
here I come, you know, six 624 departure time. And it's crazy.
Am we a PM, and everybody's trying to get on this flight. So
it's taken forever. And there's a very short window, there's
only 50 minutes, five, zero minutes between landing in
Atlanta. And getting onto the when the when the next flight
departs for Amsterdam,
and well, that's doable. It's totally doable.
But you but not if you're going to be 40 minutes late. And you
know, they have to make up that time in the air. And the
boarding process was a nightmare. I mean, people were
hanging off the wings, by the time this plane was pushing back
from the gate. Everybody wanted to get it wanted to get on it.
And so people were getting bumped off. And then you know, I
made it I made the flight and might, interestingly, let's go
to my suitcases. But I was talking to the flight attendants
about what had happened and said, Hey, do you guys wait, and
how does that work? And what's going on? In this is the younger
flight attendant, of course in the the back of the bus, not up
there in the front. And she said, and as she handed me my
Gluten free meal, which was a mistake, because I hadn't
ordered that. But I had ordered it for Christina on the way
back. She's flying back with me in two weeks. So for some reason
I got it on the way over. She says you know, you should always
order a special meal on airlines. So why is it because
when it's over booked or something's messed up, they do
not kick you off.
Wow, that is the tip of the day. This I knew it was a long lined
up. Yeah, I know you took forever to get to it. But wow,
that's a great one. In that cool? Well, of course that may
just be her carrier. She could know that. Maybe there's
something to it because obviously they had to pay extra
well. They only have the exact amount of meals. There's never
an extra the exact
amount of meals and if yours is some special meal. Yeah, they
would take you on they have you on a checklist there that you'd
have to Yeah, that's fantastic tip. It's the best tip I've
heard for a while.
It's one of our better ones is one of our better ones.
Yeah. So I was delighted I was crap.
I was not able to sleep. You weren't able to sleep now. That
kind of sucks.
Or will you play fall asleep halfway through the show?
That's when I'm asleep now what he's talking about? Oh, um, then
I got here. And then Christina. It was kind of interesting how
these things can fly straight to Rotterdam. No, not to Amsterdam.
And then I had taxi taxi Eric pick me up and drove from
Amsterdam to Rotterdam or from ski pole. It's not really
answered. He never
did complete other side of the country, right? I know. But the
one is way up north. And
so far. It's like a whole 45 minute drive. What are we going
to do? Oh my goodness, please. So it's always fun to see what
the kids are doing with technology. And I always love
watching how Christina does things and it's good to have
young people around you, which I don't have now. I'm not not
young young, like in the 20s. And she's so first of all, she's
I think I told you that I've got kick ass internet. She does.
She's got 50 megabits down. She's got 25 megabits up. This
is class act what she's got going on here.
And then what's the price a month? Oh, I
think she paid He's all I have to ask her. I think it's like,
it's under 50 euros. Yeah. And then she's like, Hey, should we
watch this some house of cards and like now I really and I'll
get to that in a second. But they everyone here is using
proxies, I guess a whole lot of No. Is it to? Hola is that the
one? I don't know. Yeah, all the kids know that you because the
Netflix in the Netherlands is no good. Because you don't have the
they don't release everything simultaneously. You can't the
archive isn't the same. Of course, all the rights are
different. Everybody means using the whole lot of the proxy
servers. It's pretty crazy.
And so they're all using proxies, and hit us servers.
Yeah.
And they sign up. And they sign up for us accounts if they can't
steal it. But talk about your net neutrality. Anyway, so I had
already seen a couple of episodes of House of Cards since
we had been talking about it. And I know that I just needed to
point something out about this particular season of the series,
which I've been a fan of
me, by the way, I talked to me she she says it's unwatchable.
It is
I agree it is unwatchable. And this falls right into our
wheelhouse of what we have been saying consistently, that big
data is bullshit.
Because it's saying M word me but they
have been touting House of Cards. As always, we looked at
all the customer data we know exactly what everybody wants and
there it is. So apparently they did all the research. This is
what they say they say this is the marketing Yeah, this is the
marketing
marketing says so instead of just letting the creative
writers do their thing, which is what writers do. Market they
studied and studied and studied this and that and that we gotta
go in this direction. We gotta go this way. We got it this
storyline is gotta go you're telling me that's what they did.
Or this would they claim to have done now it's unwatchable. Yes.
They claim out I'm shocked by this.
Yeah, it needs to be pointed out that Amazon specifically tell
Amazon Netflix specifically has been saying how incredibly I'm
sorry What the hell is this? Shut up Shut up. You know they
were so incredibly smart about getting just by the way Kevin
Spacey was shopping this project for a couple of years before it
you know Netflix picked it up but you were you remember when
it first came out? Oh we know exactly what everybody wants
this is we know how they want to watch it. We know the story
arcs. Yeah, good work everybody
unwatchable and I guess I won't even watch it then it sounds
like there's some propaganda in there that's useless that's why
it's worth watching and the private He also pointed out that
if you think about it the end of the second season where he
becomes president that's the end of the story is for all
practical purpose. Exactly. The perfect ending Yeah. Who
knew? Oh, well. Yeah.
So no, I didn't have to watch that. And let me see what else
is going on. This is ever the newspapers here filled with
still you know, Jihad ease are going to come back from fighting
with ISIS. You're going to kill everybody. Yeah, the Prime
Minister this
these trips to Europe are your I don't know it just seems like
we're not we're getting just a watered down version of the
propaganda they throw at the American public. I mean, it's
not even watered down it might even be better.
I think it's much better the prime minister here he had this
like, if some what was the quote, I'm gonna lose
translation. Because if we also have some kind of elections
going on here at the moment, you know, so it's everything heats
up and it gets a little bit crazy. And the Prime Minister
wrote a he said something to the effect of, well, if someone go
if someone goes to fight with ISIS, and they get killed there,
I won't cry for them. Okay, please. Okay, whatever. But I
think in general people are just, you know, zombified still,
I haven't really been outside enough haven't called out it's
very cold. So Rotterdam, I think may be different vibe from from
Amsterdam. So I'll have a real report on you know, boots on the
ground feed on the street here by Thursday show
while I'm watching some international stuff while you're
over there and I ran into a new news night that had apparently
one of the reporters from Al Jazeera got out on bail and is
probably the one from Canada and he goes after Al Jazeera for
being dicks yeah and then the news night woman apparently this
is a part of the I think they all you know this media this
media shouldn't say bad things about media can you know media
media I say Republicans should never say bad things about other
Republicans. Democrats should never do the same thing. Okay,
she cuts the guy off.
Oh, you mean, you're not supposed to do this to a fellow
reporters what you mean?
I guess there'll be says there's an element of that. But this is
more about the news organizations. Okay, making sure
that the they protect each other at least that's the way I
interpreted this, because this was the guy was actually getting
interesting. You news night, as you know, they bring these guys
on, and they grill them. And the guy starts getting interesting,
and she cuts him off. I think we should play this,
you were critical of Al Jazeera, Al Jazeera response was that you
could have shut that Bureau at any moment.
Well, when I when I came to the Marriott as the bureau chief on
the first day, there was a frantic staff there that didn't
know why they were there. And, you know, I offered AlJazeera,
to that I can go to the authorities and, you know, open
a dialog and explain to them that we are separate from the
Arabic network, you know, and that we are, you know, listen to
journalists that are there and my first request and on behalf
of the whole team, that our material does not broadcast on
the Arabic band, Al Jazeera Mubasher arm that was ignored
the first time they removed the videos, and I have submitted to
you some videos and emails that prove that this continued for
until we got you know, at least six times until we got arrested.
And I kept haggling and you know, taking my concerns to the
management and you know that that continued and the epic
negligence is not just before the arrest in issues that made
it more difficult for us in court during the trial as well,
I had issues with the lawyer that AlJazeera is hired for us.
And just to clarify
was not he was not he was going
to clarify the Algiers JIRA system, you could have stopped
work at any time if you had concerns just to clarify that.
However, let's move on now. Because at the point where you
had to relinquish
that, see, they don't have cool jingles to transition. That's
your problem, man. Yeah. Okay, let's move on to a new topic.
Amen. First of all, that's good.
So we didn't get to hear anything about the lawyer being
a douche. No. I just thought that was very strange. I ran
into the same thing. I'll play a clip later on Amy Goodman show
she because she doesn't she puts people on at the very end of the
show. So she has the excuse. Oh, we're running out of time.
Always bye. Yeah.
You put you put in the newsletter you had this whole
thing about I haven't really been able to see this is the
Ferguson conversation conversation. Are we having
national conversation about Ferguson right now on both
sides?
It's continuing I was gonna actually had a possibility for a
couple of clips. I didn't clip them but I'll tell you what they
were okay. You know, they were on all the Washington Weekend
Review they had these guys on Oh, it was horrible. These
memos. Guys probably should go back and clip it for Thursday.
Because I just didn't feel like it for some reason where they go
these this was these memos these police wrote to each other.
Yeah, there was joking. Yeah,
they're saying horrible things. Yeah, there was like shot. All
the people
on this show this Washington Weekend Review, which is set up.
I should put one of these days I want to I'm going to deconstruct
all these these shows the way they're established and why they
don't work. The Washington we wish that Washington we can
review with Gwen Eiffel doesn't work. And but they all live all
day. I read it. They were shocked. I was shocked. I was
shocked by these memos. You know, lame jokes. You know,
black man doesn't hold the job for four years. Yeah, Shocking.
Shocking. It's dumb.
It shows you the lame. Yeah, it is lame.
But it's nothing at all. I was shocked, shocked, shocked. I was
continued on all the show.
I think I figured out what's going on. Because there are two
reports that came out. Were actually one report and then
they the focus kind of shifted very quickly. This is what I
found. I clipped this from CNN,
what really happened the final moments of Michael Brown's life.
The Justice Department investigation makes it clear the
evidence does not support the mantra still being used by some
protesters. Instead, the Department of Justice found that
is quote inconsistent with the physical and forensic evidence.
And in some cases, witnesses have acknowledged their initial
accounts were untrue, or witness accounts were not credible,
including the witness closest to Brown when it happened. Browns
friend, Dorian Johnson, whose words helped spark the mantra
despite the evidence laid out by the Department of Justice that
Michael Brown's hands were not up when Officer Wilson shot and
killed him. The hands up don't shoot movement lives. The
argument is that if he wasn't surrendering, then there's a
justification, which is what the DOJ in the grand jury found.
That's
a repetitive tactic that's been used again. Now. What I'm
hearing is is that this report, um, says that in the end, the
officer was cleared. That everything right down to the
actual slogan is now being. There's no proof that any of
this took place the way it was immediately propagated. Yeah.
But I'd say sorry.
Yeah, but it was there are other witnesses that they just weren't
promoted as much. But ya know, the media push this this one
agenda. Right.
But the but this is this is but this is in holder, the
Department of Justice. It's in his report that none of this
none of these accusations about the actual event itself had any
merit. But then he goes on to say, I am prepared to dismantle
the Ferguson Police Department, which I find interesting. Does
the Department of Justice have that kind of power to do that in
the state?
I think so. Really are some circumstance Yeah.
For bad jokes?
Yes. Jokes. You're out. Done.
Here's a pooper and what's his name? Van Jones.
Oh, Van Jones, the fact that the Justice Department report says
the narrative that Michael Brown had his hands up wasn't
accurate, that hands up don't shoot that chant that we heard
constantly. From all evidence that was not true. That did not
happen. Isn't it important to acknowledge that?
Well, listen, I think it's important to acknowledge that
there's some things are possible and some things are provable. It
is certainly not provable, that Mike Brown had his hands up,
we'll never know what happened. Something strange happened. You
did have that video of those construction workers who were
white and watching. They put their hands up. I love that
white and watching. Write that one down. We need this for
later. Light and watching. Yeah, I'm a construction worker. I'm
white. And watch if
you did have that video of those construction workers who were
white and watching. Do you
know what to think about this? This video? First, I heard about
white and watching. I think it's kind of cool. I like this.
Of those construction workers who were white in Washington.
They put their hands up when after the shooting and said
something happened that was wrong. But much more
importantly, much missing. Leave out Mike Brown for about two
weeks after that. It became a cry of a generation that feels
that it is criminalized and guilty until it's proven
innocent rather than innocent until proven guilty all too
often. All right, okay. Well, I don't think it's I don't know.
I don't know it's done. The news is going on lab lab law, and
seems to be going in a circle. So I'm watching Washington, we
can review and I'm trying to disk because this happened. I
don't know. I'd maybe I'll talk about that some other time. But
I decided to start deconstructing these talk.
Roundtable talking shows
you mean like Meet the Press and all of them? Okay. Oh, well,
because I do I've done a number of them myself with different
formats. That idea of course, and you know, exactly. I've
always wondered what's why some of these are just dull. And I
then I realized that Fox actually has the formula
correct? In some circles,
yes. But chicks hot chicks with their legs bear under the table?
Well, I think that's just an element. I don't think the root
I think the real reason that these are more successful is
because everyone has an opinion, these old fashion shows and
Washington Weekend Review is probably the classic amongst
them all over the our local KQED station has a couple of these
shows that are very similar, I think news table or news or room
or something is one of them. And the way the show goes, you have
a host in the middle, and all the host does is throw a story
to one of the four guests. It's always almost in the middle for
guests or surrounding, which is its turn and then that's
actually then it's actually turned into a three person show.
Because the one guest is the one that's the expert and the other
three people toss questions at them at the at the third guy,
the fourth guy, and the host doesn't do anything. The host
sits there sounds like a good gig. We for the host, he doesn't
really have a personality. I would put Gwen in that category.
Oh, yeah. Anyway, you see, and so then so one person is an
expert. And the other people are idiots asking the expert
questions that goes to the next person who covered a story.
They're still a reporter covering a story, but but
they're given the latitude to have an opinion about the story.
So then the three other people that didn't come to study, get
to ask them questions, and it goes back and forth that way.
It's extremely dull, not Fox figured out that what you want
is for people with an opinion about the story and a
perspective on the story that's different. So you have one
person who maybe did or didn't cover this right doesn't make a
difference. And so
you have a full spectrum is what you mean have a spectrum of
opinions and they're all
going at each other right? Which is different than It's what the
three people asking one person a bunch of questions, which is
extremely boring. And that's the old fashioned model. And that's
the model that's used to KQED tonight. And I only reminded of
this because one time when I was doing one of my x three shows
where I had broken the model down to a host at the end, which
I I've seen some people move to host at the end instead of in
the middle, and then three people instead of four, because
if you have four people yakking away, it's just too many people.
And I had one of the guests I brought in, I won't say who she
is. But she had apparently done the KQED show a lot. So she was
of the opinion that she was there to ask questions. Oh,
we're
so sorry. That is exactly what we didn't want. You
know, oh, my God, how can I shut this woman up? And she was just,
you know, she didn't get it. She never obviously watched the
show. Right? Well, that's not all shows her like this. The PBS
shows which, which is just a dreadful model. Anyways, inside
baseball, I'm sorry.
I think a lot of people are interested in that view,
because they will have to watch these shows. And I'm sure
there's a viewer to watch the show. Why is this show so dull?
And is there a reason why our show is not dull? Because we
don't hold on to that formula? We stay away from it? Well, we
don't have our show is a is a is the model of the modern podcast
model of eavesdropping, where two guys are talking to guys
that did hope to be interesting. Or talking at each other. And
the and the audience is is actually an eavesdropper. And so
you're just like listening in. This is my opinion of this
model.
Of course, it's your opinion. Why who was it? Why wouldn't it
be your opinion? I'm trying to do you?
Yeah, no, I think you man, you and you said uh,
yeah, no, man, first of all, wow, to win ones like in
confusion me by by challenge.
I'm sorry, I'm breaking the model by challenging you.
Yes. Don't Don't challenge anything. I say. I'm a
rule follower. I'll just be quiet.
So it's like somebody. So you're sitting at a table in it in a
restaurant and you got two guys yakking away about something
that's kind of interesting to you. And you. So you listen in.
And I think that's what this is. I'm a rule follower. So if the
rule is that we have to do it, then I'll do exactly.
All right, let us move towards a OBS. This is what I wanted to
do. This is agenda 21 Wow, someone tweeted me some books
this morning and said this is
interesting. I we haven't had agenda 21 on the show for a
while. Well, agenda 21
is kind of agenda 21. But in a broad sense, you know, to the to
the beat of
your mind. Next clip.
So it was was his name. Senator was it Inhofe in half Inhofe,
who presented was talking in the Senate and held up a snowball
get more. Yeah, that guy did a stupid moron call that's really
full moon because he wants I guess that's his way of saying
global warming doesn't exist. Well, whoever advises This guy
needs to be shot. How can I how can anyone think that's a good
idea. So he is then slammed down by? Sheldon Whitehouse. Yeah.
And this actually showed up on the Scientific American 62nd
Science Podcast, which is fun to listen to.
I have to interrupt you for a second Shellder because because
Sheldon Whitehouse is a pet peeve of mine, that guy. Oh,
okay. You dislike it peel away. One of our producers went, you
know, I'm always talking about I just me, I gotta go to
Washington, DC and go through the papers and see who's
invested in what down in the basement? Yeah. The basement.
It's like, they won't post it any of this stuff. Thank you
very much Congress and openness. Yeah, this is this is the
you're allowed to effectively perform insider trading. If
you're a senator, Congressman, or Congress person or staff, and
you are making laws or have laws coming out, that will affect
certain industries, it is okay for you to go and invest. They
do have that disclosed. But you can only get that down in the
basement. At the I think it's the hand National Library, isn't
it? I don't know. I'd have for the records office and you can't
take anything out. You have to copy it there. And I think it's
it's $1 and $1 per page,
yell at us where you can make a photocopy for a buck a page. So
I guess this guy went to Washington or he decided to look
into Sheldon Whitehouse who is horrible, horrible. We're all
going to die from global warming and Rhode Island is going to
sink character and we've had on the show a number of times, and
he's usually with Jeff Sessions who's always berating him. So
the guy looks up White House he says White House is up to his
ears. yours in investments in the oil companies really? Says
he was shocked. I think he was, you know, we're gonna find some
cool dirt on the guy if I go to the basement but no, apparently
just the opposite. Wow. He's just a phony.
Well, I wanted to play his little bit here from the
Scientific American 62nd Science Podcast as he berates enho for
his little snowball gag. And it just shows you the level when
people will go when they truly I guess he, oh, he's a phony guess
he doesn't believe it. Who cares. But here it is. You can
believe NASA and you can believe what their satellites measure on
the planet. Or you can believe the senator with the snowball.
That's good writing right there. That's good. In Home view your
loser because this guy is is eating your lunch.
The United States Navy takes this very seriously to the point
where Admiral Locklear, who is the head of the Pacific Command,
has said that climate change is the biggest threat that we face.
In the Pacific. You can either believe the United States Navy,
or you can believe the senator with the snowball. Every major
American scientific society has put itself on record many of
them a decade ago that climate change is deadly, real
deadly, real John? Deadly, real deadly, real deadly. Climate
change is real. It's real. It's real. It's real. They measure
it, they see it. They know why it happened. They
see it, they can see us.
The predictions correlate with what we see as they increasingly
come true. And the fundamental
truth wow, I didn't hear that the first time around. As they
increasingly come true.
The predictions come true when nothing's come true.
No, that's that's the whole thing. As they increase, I'm
just gonna back it up a little more. See what exactly what he
said here.
But you say it's coming true. You know,
the predictions correlate with what we see, as they
increasingly come true.
The predictions correlate with what we see as their
increasingly
as that's increasingly come true.
That is the biggest bull crap line I've ever heard. Cigarette
I
see it, they know why it happens.
Guy, I'm sorry. That's okay. This is the guy who is that
those subcommittees, and he was the head during the era of the
Democrats running the Senate. He was the head of these
committees. And he and we've had these clips on here just for
people just to remind people who bring a guy on an expert in
wildfires. And why the guy was come out say ever since such and
such a year that wildfires have increased. And actually they
only increase with they've increased a little bit, but it's
only because the correlation is with global cooling, as global
cooling continues to get more wild wildfires is any go on with
that. And another guy said, Well, we only have flooding
under these are. And we only do this and we only do that and
then they have these different experts come on at the end of
the hearing. Whitehouse would just have ignored whatever they
said and say just the opposite. It's so important that we do
something
about this correlate with what we see as they increasingly come
true. And the fundamental principles that it is derived
from carbon pollution, which comes from burning fossil fuels
and farming far beyond legitimate dispute. So you can
believe every single major American scientific society or
or you can believe the senator with the snowball.
Yeah, very good. So the reason I played this is first to have a
little laugh, and I thought Senator Snowball was good. The
senator would the snowball like that is to lead into our
favorite guy. Rhymes with guy who we like so much. When it
comes to science, and certainly all things. Climate change, and
you name it, the guy's already ready. The climate guy, Bill Nye
the climate guy. Exactly. Bill Nye the climate guy was on. But
I think it was like the extra real time that showed up on
YouTube.
We, you know, Bill Nye the climate guy is so on to so
recently and to an extreme that has become a joke on our show.
Who's paying him this is not thing you just do.
But he has a book coming out. So he has a big advance. He's
promoting a book. Wow. Okay. So I think he's on a tour and it's
easy. Well, if he makes an appearance on CBS, I'm pretty
sure he gets paid for that. On the morning show. Yeah, I think
he does.
It's not that much. No. But
isn't it well, I thought we looked at what how he made his
money, but he has a book coming out. He's on more Real Time with
Bill. What does that? What does that what they do on hbo.com?
Afterwards anyway, so it's not on television, it's not on the
show, but they talk about it. They have some, I know some guy
from the show is then interviewing the climate guy.
And it turns out at the very end is he's kind of done promoting
his book, he comes out with this absolute gem, Bill Nye the
Science Guy, thank
you for continuing to drop knowledge.
Thank you. We're just trying to change the world. And
by the way, we're just trying. We're just trying to change the
world. What was that all about?
There's a chapter in there, which I'm going to revise. I
spent some time on it. And I'm very, very excited. Which
chapter is this? Well, you can stay tuned, but it's about
genetically modified food. Oh, I went to Monsanto. And I spent a
lot of time with the scientists there. And I have revised my
Outlook. I'm very excited about telling the world when you're in
love, you want to tell the world. So when can we look
forward to this? Well, I don't run the publishing business. But
in general, next fall, okay. Keep an eye they do it next fall
would be 2015. Fall if you're scoring wrong, Ruth Bell, thank
you so much. Thank you for coming on the show. Let's change
the world. Let's do it.
So he went to see Monsanto hung out with the scientists and then
oh, I'm going to revise a chapter. Yeah. Change the World.
January. Good work.
Dick.
So he was sold a bill of goods by the public relations
operations that worked for Monsanto. That's the way I read
that. Oh, yeah. And
Bill Nye bill
is he's all giddy. Ah, this is genetic engineering is
fantastic. Right? Just imagine 100 foot salmon in the ocean.
So Brian, the gay Crusader, he picked up on this, and he had
did something interesting. This is so typical, no agenda,
thinking, I love this. So he, he wanted to find out and see what
does he have here? He want to see what what Brian looked at.
All right, he looked at the safety of Jim, this is typical
Brian. And he looked at the the safety of genetically modified
organisms. This is one of those 97% deals that we always like
pulling apart. And, and he found a Pew Research Center study,
which compares the opinions of the public, and members of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science. And
you'll see that even when it comes to Monsanto, 88% of
scientists believe they're safe. But a much lower percentage of
the population believes they're safe. But then this is what
Brian did. He went to go see what is this American
Association for the Advancement of Science. And you know, if
these scientists not being counted in their percentage is
being held up against the American, the American public?
Who exactly are the scientists. And here you go, to become a
member of the American Association for the Advancement
of Science. You only have to become a member. That's $50 per
year. And you do not have to Brian actually signed up, you do
not have to send in any qualifications or any, like your
diploma.
Any schmuck. And
I think we should we all should sign up for this. Oh, yeah, this
is gonna be great. We could be in all these surveys, and we
could be telling people what we feel about science.
You know, the servers may be rigged to? Well, the
Pew centers is everyone uses the Pew Research Center, as fact and
great and trustworthy. Even your beloved democracy now.
We're talking about democracy now on talking about climate
change. So they had a some sort of a sitting or something in New
York. The clip, by the way, is to claim it, I got it. Sure.
I got it. I got it with am with me. Yeah, I got it
with me. Now. I have to set it up. They have me on the Goodman,
they have this court case. And these bunch of people were
arrested, 10 of them. And they were in court and they they were
protesting climate change would be sitting in some area with
bankers had to walk around. And so they got they got released,
and they had this lawyer to come on the show. And just and claim
that they were released, because it just proves climate change is
actually going on it was important when in fact he does
say why they were released because it was an improper
pronouncement by the police to make them move, which is why
they got released, but meanwhile, they turned it into a
climate change thing. So Amy is talking to this guy. And that
clip starts with this guy chatting. It's snowing on him as
it he talks about global warming. He points out the irony
of this, but she continues anyway. And then she has to get
her to set opinion. And at the end of this clip, which is
ridiculous.
The court found all 10 defendants not guilty, releasing
them and basically endorsing the position that they took that
climate change is a serious, urgent problem requiring
attention and basically complimenting the defendants for
being out there and protesting. And then because the police
department made a mistake in the way they ordered people to leave
the demonstration area. The judge said the order to leave
was impermissible under the Constitution, and therefore,
you've done all the defendants not guilty for violating an
unlawful order.
That's attorney Martin Stoller standing As the snow fell and
yet another extreme weather event in New York. The extreme
weather comes as snowy conditions have continued to
engulf the United States. In New York, a plane skidded off a
snowy runway at LaGuardia Airport. While in Kentucky,
hundreds of drivers were stranded on a snowy highway for
20 hours, scientists warn increased snowfall was part of a
pattern of extreme weather driven by climate change.
Wow, that's fantastic. It's so that is really good. It's, it's,
it's alright. And you know that Amy Goodman it's not her mission
to be lying and out there duping the public. She truly believes
that she's read the report on
No, yeah, no, she's all in but What's it got to do with this
report? And that guy was bullied bullcrapping the audience when
he says well, it was it was a confirmation of global warming
that the that the court let these people go when he makes it
kind of clear that it was because of an improper police
instruction. That was unconstitutional. It wasn't
because of global anything to do with climate change. But okay,
let's just make everything about climate change, which is what's
annoying.
Here's a an article from the New York Times I'm reading from the
website I put it in this James Glick Gleek like click what's
his name Glick? These are famous reporters and in Glick Glick, GL
EIC Jenny Glick, Jiminy Cricket. James Gleick. At a New York
Times, maybe ideas and trends, a dire long range forecast this is
from May 12 1985. Beginning of the decade or two scientists
expect the warming of the atmosphere to melt the polar ice
caps raising the level of the seas from 95 job flooding
coastal areas eroding the shores and sending saltwater far into
freshwater estuaries. Storm patterns will change drying out
some areas swamping others, which sounds like a quid pro quo
to me and generally throwing agriculture into turmoil.
Federal climate experts have suggested that within a century
the greenhouse effect could turn New York City into something
with the climate of Daytona Beach
No There you go.
So that's only how many years away there's only seven years
from now.
I I think they meant more like it would be sooner than that.
Well, they might have seems like it's snowing there now which is
doesn't sound Daytona Beach to me cold
and raining in Texas. I'm reliably informed.
Yeah, I heard that. But I thought hidden the climate clip
I guess not.
Well, then let's close the gate on that one. Second Tyler Dyer's
to the gate to the clinic
since it'll be a while on the topic, I just did a quick clip
of bullcrap. Or bull crap artists more than bullcrap
itself. Play this little clip here is not being played much in
the news. And my question is where's Clooney? Door for
remembering Clooney had all that
he has the bat lice and all the Sentinel. He's actually I think
he dropped out of the Sentinel project. I'll look that up. But
we listened to
the United Nations reports nearly half a million people
were displaced from the Darfur region of western Sudan last
year, the largest amount in a decade. The UN blames the uptick
in violence on the Sudanese government and government
aligned forces which have waged a campaign against rebels in
Darfur for since 2003. An estimated 300,000 people have
been killed in the conflict. Loony
well he's it's the it's the Sentinel satellite project,
which he is supposed to be running so he can shame everyone
doing this with his his handler? What's the guy's name?
Prendre. Grassley?
Yes. Or inhibitor? Pendergrast The Apprentice crest? I think I
think George is somebody he's he's something else is going on.
Of course he married the lawyer. And the lawyer is she's lawyer
for WikiLeaks, but she also has some other interesting clients.
The word is that they're gonna get divorced now know what it
was on the gossip sheets? Really? No, no. Yeah. He's in
the doghouse.
Hey, the word here is I sent you a picture of the magazines here.
Yeah. Oh my gosh, read about Clooney.
No, but just talking about magazines. Alright, nevermind,
Clooney. Fine. No, he's getting divorced. I'm apparently getting
back together with my first wife.
Is that what's gonna happen? With the gossip? She'd say?
Only if she has room for my stuff? No.
You have no stuff. And Adam,
Adam needs to come back because it's easy for him to make money
in Europe in Holland. Right?
Well, but if you look at today's donations, you might consider
Oh, well, in that case, let me thank you for your courage. Mr.
John C. Dvorak and in the morning to yeah, go in the
morning to you Adam curry also in the morning all the food
foods on the ground feet in the air such in the water all the
days and nights out there as in
the morning to all of our artists that well firstly, in
the morning, everyone in the chat room, particularly those
who showed up and figured out the time change as the
Illuminati stolen hour from you. Last night. No agenda stream.com
Thank you to our artists we had the fake sell the fake Sal
lizard, I think is the artists who whose art we used. And this
was
this was a new I don't know if you ever use this art artist
before.
I have seen him. I think he's supplied us with stuff in the
past. I don't know if we've actually ever used anything.
This was for the oatmeal episode. 701 and it was of
course, Hillary Clinton as a dude named Ben sitting there
behind her little her little email. Yeah,
running her own servers.
This is one of the it's something so incredible about
this image. Yeah, it is a disturbing is what it is.
It's a disturbing image and funny. Funny disturbing. And it
wasn't didn't take a genius but what he apparently did. I'm
assuming it's a male artist. Because I really do not do not
see it with female artists doing thinking of this. Took some I
guess some like a ham guy or some old old fart that said his
computer and just stuck her head on his
Yeah, but also put the glasses on. There was a couple other
things. We're pretty good at
number a little type nine, but it's very for some reason. I
don't know why but it's extremely humorous. And got a
lot of attention on Twitter.
Yes. Yeah, we got we got some good in guy didn't
get enough attention to do much for our donations for this
particular show. 702 Yeah, but we just yet couple of executive
producers that after I mentioned in the newsletter, we had none
and then one Associate Executive was shooting for the moon here
by coming in hoping to get the whole thing. But let's thank
these three people. Sir Thomas Nussbaum in Virginia Beach,
Virginia for $370 thank Eric for all the help. Oh, okay. Eric,
thanks. Mh 370 It's real. Near and that's all it's real. It's
real. It's real. Okay. Thank you, man. We
have you becomes an earl today. I believe. He does. He does
today becomes an earl. Okay. No big deal. Well, he's
overwhelmed. It's a big deal. That's way up there. And then we
have done
yeah, it's the Grand Duke.
Grand Duke David Foley came with 333 33 from Los Gatos, ITM
gentlemen enclosed, please find a special Illuminati donation.
Speaking of the Illuminati, I could use a big dose of no
agenda karma for the coming week.
Absolutely. You've got grant
Grand Duke in the USA. David good in Flower Mound. Texas as
Associate Executive Producer came with $200 Please accept a
little extra love from a cheapskate monthly donor. He
needs D douching. And a job karma okay. You've been de
deuced you've got karma.
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
And that concludes our donation segment for producers and
Associate Executive Meuser. Okay that's 702 Go to divorce.org/n A
and jump on the bandwagon which apparently left with nobody on
board line to chase it down.
But seriously, thank you, these, these executive and Associate
Executive Producers very much. Exactly actually exec as one SOC
executive producer. We appreciate that. But you always
see what happens is, you know, it's the people who've been
around who come back in to to help us and then there's people
out there who are maybe freeloading a little bit. Well,
yeah, I want to thank Mike producer my thesis see Mike, he
wrote up your Oatmeal Recipe. Jonathan, we're experts perfect
oatmeal if you go to ITM dot I am slash oatmeal. I just want to
see if that thing works again.
If you decide TMT has not worked for me for trying to
get ITM dot I am slash oatmeal. And I think I like the page that
I figured that made for you here. This word
dad came up okay. John C. Dvorak is perfect oatmeal. makes one's
Philando its regular Quaker Oats cup of water extract Truyen
dumped a bunch of vanilla in there it helps do we help? The
butter should not be at the beginning of this recipe says
butter to taste. He after is made.
Okay, hold on. I can move it. Where does it need to go?
It needs to go serve with butter. Oh, okay. And ensure
with maple syrup. That means it makes it sound that I can see
somebody reading this and say doing it the wrong way laying
the maple syrup with the with the water I will
put it after. After increased simmer time to 15 to 20 minutes
after that. Why just put serve a bait serve? I'll make that bold
and then I'll put those two things underneath it. Okay, if
you refresh, then you're good to go. It's
fine. It's good. It's outstanding. Yeah. Curiously,
the picture of the oatmeal that you have is the back I was
waiting for that is the old fat is the is the gooey is the mush.
mush.
Yeah, I was wondering if you would see that or not? Yeah,
it's the
mush. I might take a picture of when I make the meal the next
time I take a picture,
I can replace it. You could use that and no problem. Thank you
very much
part of our no agenda cookbook that's running out any minute.
Right in time for the holidays.org/in. And of course
we always need everybody doing the best out there by
propagating our one and only formula.
Our formula is this. We go out we get people in the mouth
I forgot to ask did you put an Easter egg in the newsletter?
No. Oh, why are you looking for one? Yeah, I'm gonna put one in
the next newsletter for sure.
You had the clicked me. I clicked on that of course, but
it wasn't an Easter egg.
Girl. Yeah. That is a that is it gets anybody I should challenge
everyone. Does anyone remember seeing that girl a newsletter
before? If so when? And what was she what was on her note?
Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, this was the your ongoing
here's how Photoshop tricks you campaign.
She was in the newsletter once before, we will mention anyone
who comes up with the answer to this. That no one will and by
the way, don't spend a lot of time getting a lot of time on
now. You remember I happen to remember
something in my throat Do you remember when by stayed with my
buddy out there in Malibu and it was no longer my friend. Because
I told the story about it. He has the the X rated the he has
the porn company. Okay, then we talked about how his lawyers
just call up people, you know, because they have some kind of
IP address that they say that they can prove. But really what
they're doing is that they're just saying, Oh, do you want us
to publish this information that you've been downloading porn or
you're being accused of downloading porn or you just
want to send us $5,000? So yeah, I had this little while ago, we
talked about You remember, don't you?
I actually don't but okay, I probably could jar my memory if
I tried hard enough.
So I find out that because I'm looking into ways that legal
content is going to be determined one way or the other.
Although I personally don't believe that these Net
Neutrality rules will actually come into effect Just because of
what can and cannot be done by an agency of the United States
Government
right and they also the mobile phone companies in a hearing
which we put on the show threatened that they would this
they will be taking this to court forever. So there's never
going to happen I've
now you know, in Canada, they have a lot of online pharmacy
websites, you know, so you can order I think it's the same
medication cheaper or it's a generic and you can you can
order it and instead of going through the hassle in
the United States, yes, you can order from Canada.
And apparently there is now very analogous to the the law firm
that would call people up pretty much extort extort money from
them. There's a company called legitscript.com that is
contacting domain name registrars and saying, well,
listen, we are legitscript if you look at legit
legitscript.com You'll see kind of they look, they look legit. I
gotta figure out who this John Horton guy is who found that I
think I remember his name somewhere he's got I think he
has contacted Obama, I'm not sure. I wasn't able to find it
easily as put it that way. I know this guy. They're calling
up domain registrar's and saying, you have to cut that
off. You have to you have to deregister them or send it to a
different DNS. Otherwise we're going to start a suit against
you and I think most watch what the registrar's, think about
GoDaddy, they just don't want the hassle.
No, I'm for what because
they say that these are illegal pharmacies. Because it's
legitscript is right is sending notes to pharmacy saying, you
know, he's sending notes to registrar's domain name,
registrars, domain name registrars and saying they got
to do with it. Well, they because they have the domain
name of these so called illegal or non legal wet pharmacy
websites. You with me? No. Okay. bueb, you're gonna sell Viagra,
but it could also be, you know, a generic version of Lipitor,
which is, is actually perfectly legal because it's out of
patent. And, and you register a domain name, which is JC
Lipitor, John's drug company.com.
And then you put up a website, you're selling this legitscript,
then contacts GoDaddy or wherever you registered your
domain name with and says, Excuse me, these guys, we
represent mark. You know, the guys who do $60 billion a year
word mark. And these guys have you it's phony, it's illegal,
whatever they say this do you want us to start suing you now?
Or do you just want to get rid of this domain name? And they
have this document from the this is the as Oh P the Alliance for
safe online pharmacies. You gotta love this. This is how
this is where legitscript who they were hired by Alliance for
safe safe online pharmacies. And so they are a 501 C four, of
course, you can only imagine who's who's funding them. And
here's what here's what they let me
think what drug companies are funding these guys what a money
maker
and here's, here's what they say in the letters that they send
out to the domain name registrars is the following is
contained. per the contract between registrar's and the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
Registered registrar's, have the ability to voluntarily lock and
suspend illegitimate websites is even better language than
lawful, quote, nothing in the registrar accreditation
agreement the raa prohibits a registrar from suspending a
domain name, if under the applicable laws or in accordance
with terms of the registration agreement, which means which can
mean if and I know a lot about this, believe me, these guys are
worse than the FBI. The registrar deems such suspension
is appropriate in such circumstance, the registrar does
not need a court order or a UDRP. I'm not sure what that is
decision directing it to suspend the domain name.
And this is working.
I bet it is indeed because these everyone's a wimp. That's the
great thing about it. Yep. Now here's what I find just
looking@legitscript.com that I find to be funny is they don't
even do any work. You do all the work you say make save online
health purchase and you're supposed to put in the various
URLs that you might be doing business with.
Say thank you very much. Thank you very Much of having to go
out
and actually find these places that great. Wow
here's above all it says John Horton, president and founder,
stay safe on the internet. If you're in the US and choose to
fill a prescription online, make sure that the internet pharmacy
pharmacy is VIPs accredited by the NA BP or legitscript.
Approved.
Wow, what a scam?
How can we get down on one of these?
We're just lazy. This is a great idea.
Maybe we just have to find the next great idea along these
lines, there's got to be something that we can because
this is just
a this is just a straight up, you know?
scam.
This is as it says, yeah. But it's so beautiful the way it's
done. I know I know. And I had specifically that you don't have
they don't have to do any real research themselves. It's
also so ethical. This is what I like about it
is well.
Man, oh, man, as part
of this giant scheme, which is includes Obamacare, too, to just
fill the pockets of the drug companies with these, you know,
everything's gone up in price now that the government's paying
for it. Oh, vaccinations are very important. They're, they're
more or less free. But in fact, the government's paying for
them. And wow, wait a minute, a $5 vaccination, which is what it
should have been, is now 50 or 100 bucks, but who cares? You're
not paying for it. The government's paying for it. This
is just the way it is.
You know, I didn't want to bring this up until later on the show.
But you brought up vaccinations and I have had a couple of that
was I think it was a dentist a relatively new listener to the
show. Maybe it wasn't even that new. But then he says he wrote
me an email something along the lines of, you know, I presume
that you know, you just to keep a crackpot angle you do all that
anti science stuff. Yeah, there's a couple of things you
can say to me, but Don't lump me in with Republicans being anti
science. I'm not anti science at all. I'm also not anti anti
vaccine. I'm anti bullcrap for sure. I don't think anyone can
show or prove anywhere that I or you ever said polio vaccine is
no good. Or other vaccines that have been proven for decades and
decades. But when you come up with stuff like Gardasil, and
this is and the dentist, swine
flu, there's a classic Hello, he saw that coming out of the blue,
it was just handed to us with a silver platter. And it was
obvious what was going on here was all using edge events and
all these things. You first you needed two shots, it was just
gonna randomly
change the definition of a pandemic.
Yeah, that changed the definition of all this that so
this is being anti science. Is this what this guy's implying?
Well, he's an idiot.
Well, so I had a little back and forth because he was saying, oh,
you know, by the way, I believe in vaccines, but I also believe
in UFOs. So
that's why he believes in UFOs.
He was trying to endear me the same time while putting me down
and saying, We see more and more HPV in people's mouths. And I
right back I say yeah, let me guess ever since Bill Clinton
made it okay for blow jobs to not be sex. I think people are
having more oral sex. The guy right the back.
Trend is unknown. Yes. So the guy that account for seeing more
HPV was everybody coming in with it?
And then he says, yeah, oh, yeah, there's definitely that.
But we don't take any risks. And we cut it out. If we cut it out
of the people's mouths after via whatever it is. So it's going on
and on. And I'm like, there must be I there's got to be more that
we can do, to meet to beat and have people understand that this
particular this particular vaccine is it really truly is a
scam. We saw the amount of money that went into marketing this
thing. I have my Mickey and Christina, we're both terrorized
by the doctors calling up after a simple pap smear. With the new
pap smear system, which has a much higher rate of false
positive. We've done all of this work with all this research, and
they call up and say, Oh, you're pre cancerous. Now, you should
probably come by we'll do a biopsy. And this is not fun for
women. And then the biopsy comes back and oh, you're clean, but
you know what you probably should should probably get the
HPV shot. Now, there's a movie that has been put together. It's
called one girl. And I want to play a couple clips from this
because they have a number of scientists, doctors and in fact,
this is Dr. Diane Harper, who was the lead Merck Gardasil
researcher, and she's in this movies but it's professionally
put together think it's one girl movie.com Have a listen to this
first clip from this movie, one girl. What we
know is that if you look at all the women who get an HPV
infection, approximately 70% of those are going to clear that
infection all by themselves within the first year with no
help from anybody. You don't have to detect it and you don't
have to make it go away. It's going to do it. The body's going
to take over and do it.
Gee, I haven't heard that. Of course not.
Within two years, about 90% of all of those HPV infections are
going to clear all by themselves.
Oh, okay, that's 90% of cleared Girl by
three years, you got 10% of that original group of women that
have HPV infections that are left and by three years half of
those infections have progressed into what we call a cin two,
three lesion, or a precancerous lesion. So approximately 5% of
HPV infections are going to go into a precancerous lesion,
which is not what the doctor said that this would take years
before you can go into a precancerous lesion. And they're
like, oh, no, you're pre cancerous, and you're also pre
dead. So now
you have that small group of women who have precancerous
lesions. And now let's look at that moving into invasive
carcinoma. What we know then is that amongst women with cin
three lesions, so that's a little bit more severe than the
other group. It takes five years for about 20% of them to become
invasive carcinomas. That's a pretty slow process. It takes
about 30 years for 40% of them to become invasive cervical
carcinomas.
So there's some numbers that you probably won't hear anywhere
else except in this movie. And here,
well at the dentist's doing his own juices.
Then we have the negative effects Dr. Lucia, tomo, tomley,
yo Novick the adverse effects of this particular vaccine
when one looks at the independent literature, so
studies which are not sponsored by the vaccine manufacturers. So
with relation to Gardasil, there have been several reports
documenting multiple sclerosis, and seafile encephalomyelitis,
which is brain inflammation.
Sounds good in girls
who have received the Gardasil vaccine. So just because a study
sponsored by the manufacturers does not identify problems with
the vaccine does not necessarily mean that the vaccine is safe.
In fact, if one looks at the manufacturer studies, they're
often not designed to detect serious adverse events. There
was a study done by a group of researchers sponsored by
GlaxoSmithKline, and they were looking at Cervarix, which is
another HPV vaccine. And the authors acknowledged that none
of the studies that they evaluated has been designed.
None of these studies have been designed to detect autoimmune
diseases. So obviously, you're not going to find what you're
not looking for.
And I love that. This is this is just beautiful. And then the one
that we're most interested in, and this comes from the same
movie, this is Lee O'Donnell, regarding the vaccine
Compensation Act,
that reason vaccines are different than say, drug a
prescription drug is that there is an act. It's called the
vaccine Compensation Act. And it was enacted, I believe, in the
mid 80s. And the purpose of the act was to limit in a very
significant way, the number or the manner in which you could
bring a claim against a pharmaceutical company as a
result of an adverse event associated with that vaccine. So
for example, in the US Vioxx was we talked about Vioxx a bit if,
if you took Vioxx and you had a heart attack, you could bring a
claim in your local state court potentially or the local federal
court and and be actively litigating that claim against
directly against Merck in that court to prove that you were
damaged by the drug and to prove you know exactly how you'd been
injured, you know, what your long term effects would be of
the of the injury and so forth. But that was as a direct
exchange between the individual who's injured and the
pharmaceutical company itself. In a vaccine situation, the A
patient who has been injured does not have the right or the,
to bring a case against Merck directly in an initial matter,
under the vaccine Compensation Act, they have to file a claim
in the Federal Court of Claims in DC. And they actually the
other party is the US government, the Department of
Justice. And so Merck, in some measure, or in every measure, at
that point, doesn't have any skin in the game, they have no
risk. They have nothing, the government advocates, the sort
of the safety of a vaccine. And the individual has a limited
mechanism in which they can prove that the vaccine was the
cause of their particular injury.
So I know, we've discussed this many times. But I thought this
was a nice summary of how it actually works, where you have
no recourse.
Yeah, that's the way it works. When you have no recourse and
this I think, this dentist, who would criticize you for being
unscientific should listen to something to actually be
scientific himself, instead of just jumping to conclusions like
that. I mean, this is the this is what's going on with the
public today. They get suckered by these public relations,
people
who have who have good slogans like anti science,
right? You propagate the anti science thing? Oh, you're anti
science. You're a conspiracy nut, and then a
tard conspiracy tard.
Or, well, only tardes would say that. But the point is, is that,
you know, if you start looking into this, just see the whole
thing is, is a Faqad. It's just bullcrap. And the drug companies
are behind most of it and, and mindset people like Monsanto,
but the drug companies. I mean, these guys have pulled the wool
over the eyes of the public by charging to this latest thing
going on. There's an interesting thing that I have a clip of
that's going on, which I don't know how they're going to
resolve this. But this was my drug clip on here. Just brings
me to the there was a recent bought by our
new biotech copycat. Yeah, read play this, this is
kind of a baffling clip about some new some so they they can't
they don't know what to do about what just happened with these
guys.
The US Food and Drug Administration has approved the
first low cost version of a biotech drug. These are drugs
made from a living organism. It is a copy of the drug Neupogen
that boosts blood cells in cancer patients to help fight
infection. It wasn't until 2012, that the FDA even had a system
to approve cheaper copies of expensive biotech drugs, the so
called biosimilar will launch later this year. But there were
no immediate details about its pricing,
interesting. biosimilar
biosimilar, which means is not a generic version of the drug.
It's just something that's similar enough that you don't,
it's not it's not a spin off either. It's just bios,
but you can you can now look at the music industry and see where
these were, how this will work legally. Like, what's a Robin
Thicke with his Blurred Lines, and the Marvin Gaye estate? sued
him? Right Or, and this is in court right now. Actually, first
thing I learned. He didn't even write the song. I'll just put
his name on the on the writing credits. Douchebag Yeah, with
that guy who's always Pharrell Williams Yeah.
For railroad? Yeah. Well, the dick. Well,
well, Marvin Gaye wrote it.
Yeah, exactly. But yeah, this is like in the music business. We
say if you if you get a hit, you're gonna get a writ. It's
what happens. This isn't everyone jumps out of the
woodwork. But it was his bio similar stuff. Write that down
to you always say, when our show was done when it's in the can we
choose art and the nice and here's what's been happening for
the past year. Well, how about the title? John?
I got enough in the past couple of months. I gotten.
Okay. past couple of months. I got nothing.
That your invitation to me? Yeah.
And then we wind up with oatmeal as a title. It was a good title.
Not really. It was a good time with that picture. Yeah.
Okay. Okay, fine. All righty.
All right, wrote down biosimilar. What a great title
that might be. Anyway, the point is, is that there was a recent
to $21 billion buyout of some little biotech around here
because they have a cancer treatment. And the cancer
treatment, it cost $100,000 a year, or $10,000 a month. It's
like, these guys are completely out of control. That's why a
little small startup can sell for $21 billion. It's crazy. We
need single payer. Yeah.
Anything but this?
This is the worst.
And we're gonna start yelling more loudly about this the older
we get. Yay. We're Name single payer
Yeah, if you're gonna go at all into this me you can pull back
the whole thing and hope it would revert but with insurance
companies involved in all these these health management
operations it's done up give me yeah and back in the 50s and 60s
when doctors are making house calls and drugs were $1 I mean,
things were different but those days are over when the insurance
companies got a clue and they took over the place and now it's
like everything's a giant scam Yeah. Single payer would fit fix
that as well to a point when perfectly fix it but it would do
better than this. Anyway, science Yeah. All right. Well
look at the look at the look at what's going on on look at look
at Bill Nye the climate guy he's a he's a he's a boy who
personally he was a clown that needed balloon animals or
something and then voicing What is it wasn't Iran McDonald as
well. I'm gonna think of some of those that Dick Cheney I don't
know. But then now he's like about clients finds the
maddening.
This is a Monsanto and kids away I believe are
going to revise a whole chapter in his book because he spent
time with the scientists
at Monsanto. Yeah, at Monsanto. Remember?
He was making balloon animals for him. And they said, hey,
that's what you asked, how does he make his money? Well, Hulu
seems pretty obvious now. We make some money as well. That's
horrible.
Well, you know, these guys, you know, they bring it out to
pretty girls who happen to be in the public relations department.
Yeah. Well, here's my question. I think we reached a number of
people. But I think we you know, I could I could be I wouldn't
mind at least them trying.
And trying to convince you otherwise. With the pretty
girls. Yeah, yeah. Hi, Mr. Curry. Yeah, she'll pick you up
in an hour. She'll bring you to the offices. We have a we have a
lunch. There'll be you have a lunch brought in. You don't mind
do you want what kind of sandwich Do you like?
Turkey on MRI? Okay,
we'll have that for you. Thank you. You seem to drink. Iced
tea, please. Ice. Oh, okay. Great. Great. That's great.
Stop, stop. Yeah, no, they gave up on me. Well, hey, man, first
of all. Yeah, sorry. Texas news. Hit it.
I don't have a jingle. Oh, I'm sorry. I understand what you
mean. Now good.
Um, let's learn Iraqi immigrant has been shot dead in Dallas,
Texas and what police are investigating as a possible hate
crime. relatives told local media, Ahmed Ultra Melee was out
taking pictures of the snow with his family. When they walked
past two men who then opened fire. Ultra melee had reunited
with his wife in Dallas just 20 days ago after moving from Iraq.
Texas, keeping some poor guy when it's
when it snows we get really confused in Texas. Then we start
killing people. That's all this before. I think I saw it at the
airport actually was waiting to leave. Yeah, who knows what's
going on? Did was any conclusion of just you've just,
I've just, she just raised bladder, Blathers, these news
items off and she doesn't do anything. And then then, after
she does all the news headlines, she gets clips from somewhere.
Then they talk about Ferguson for an hour. Yeah, that's about
that.
Do you believe something is still trying to be ignited in
this regard. But we need to get Ferguson just in general that
that's Well, look, it's democracy now. It's PBS. Its
incessant. You've had so much that you wrote about in the
newsletter. Is this just to continue to divide black and
white people in America? Is that what this is?
I don't know. It seems like it's a foreboding of some sort. I
mean, everybody's on the story that keeps harping on it. They
keep revisiting it. Meanwhile, of course do we had I was
listening to Chuy Garcia discuss Chicago's had like during the
Rahm Emanuel era 10,000 10,000 shootings.
How many years was that? He's only been going for Wow. Wow.
Yeah. Shootings or deaths by shooting
nuts, shootings, and then the Denver deaths is like 4000 is a
huge number.
It's funny. I have a two week limit.
I have a chewy clip.
Let's do your two week live.
Well, let's see what I what I have so I can set
it with the tribune Chicago Tribune.
The Chicago Tribune clip is funny. Yes. Okay.
of the city's a lead. I want to read from a Chicago Tribune
investigation of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and his top 100
donors that found quote, a pattern of mutually beneficial
interactions between the mayor and his major supporters, the
60% of those 103 donors benefited from his city
government receiving contracts, zoning changes, business
permits, pension work, board appointments, regulatory help,
or some other tangible benefits. Yet despite this, the Chicago
Tribune went on to endorse a manual for mayor, this whole
issue of pay to play. Could
you talk about that?
Well, you know, as you pointed out the one the report the two
part series that showed a clear pattern of pay to play,
unethical conduct of favoring the rich and powerful in
Chicago, came out that the Sunday and Monday of February 1
Second, by the end of the week, they had endorsed the mayor for
reelection, so it's highly ironic to place a man fist bump
that's how it goes. Exactly. Yeah, fantastic. Very good.
So he his guy Chu, I liked his guy,
Chewy, which I was schooled is a nickname for Hey, Zeus. I got a
lot of email about this.
I think I got none.
I didn't know but it apparently if your name is ASOs, then your
nickname is chewy. And I believe it's spelled ch u e y you have
Yes. You have ch e w IE.
I put that out as a joke.
Okay, very funny. Here's it. Here's what here's chewy.
anglicized it. Very good.
She was making campaign promises.
He just Garcia says if he's elected mayor Chicago he'll shut
down the city's red light camera program at Wang is live at North
Avenue in Pulaski with more.
What is the guy's name G Wang.
Red light camera program. G Wang is live
in North rose Jenny Wang was Giwa Ginni Wang Fourth
Avenue in Pulaski with more Judy. Oh Judy,
one rid of these red light cameras that contradicts what
Chuy Garcia has said in the past as Cook County Commission, I
noticed the lead and said hey, Zeus, and she says chair,
he voted in favor of more red light cameras in the county.
So he's doing a reverse. He praises he's just like everyone
else. He was all in and now he's saying Oh, yeah, I'll take care
of it. What he seemed with the city's program, it's time to end
what he calls the red light rip off the red light ribbons. He
vows to remove the cameras. That is first day of Office Garcia,
who faces Rahm Emanuel in next month's run off says the system
is flawed. And taxpayers have paid a high price. The cameras
generate about $70 million a year for the city Garcia did not
reveal how he would make up for that lost revenue
by extorting pokers.
There's all kinds of ways of doing it. Yeah. So
he's got to be very similar. Of course, he's an adult, and I
voted for him and then against him. He probably voted for them
when he was making some money off of him. That's how that
stuff usually get it gets in whatever company is making them
or is there any? John has it always been like this? Is there
any way back? It'd been can we in Chicago? Well, in general,
not just in Chicago. But in general. Yeah, of
course it has. Is it just just that there's the you know, the
problem is, it relies on public debt is suckered Oh, yeah, into
being crazy about some of this stuff, when most people go, but
as a way it's always been, I have a clip called a manual for
mayor, which includes part of his this about him running for
mayor and then and it includes part of his campaign new
campaign advertisement, which is I find to be quite funny,
because say to all those big corporations and special
interests, who spent all those millions to install their own
mayor, we want change.
Now a new poll shows the gap between the Garcia and Emmanuel
closing to what the Chicago Sun Times calls a dead heat and
annual leave for sanka. Yeah,
we know why it's a dead heat.
We know that dead heat stories gotta keep it going for the
more advertisements. It's all it's a close race. Very, very
close race just like the voice
sent. The incumbent mayor faces public dissatisfaction over his
closing of 50 schools and mostly African American neighborhoods,
his handling of the 2012 teachers strike and the city's
high murder rate and levels of gun violence. This week, Mayor
Manuel is going on the offensive. He's running a series
of new campaign ads.
Say your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness. I'm
living proof of that. I can rub people the wrong way. Or talk
when I should listen. I own that. But I'm driven to make a
difference. When politics stood in the way of a full day
kindergarten or tougher gun laws. I charged ahead. And when
business interest said that $13 minimum wage was too high, I
didn't back down. Look, I'm not going to always get it right.
But when it comes to fighting for Chicago and Chicago's future
No one's gonna fight harder.
Right, all right.
I own that. I'm a jerk. I don't listen, I own that. So that
means I should vote for you because you're a jerk and you
own it. He's bragging about being a jerk. Yeah. Chicago
screwed. It doesn't make any difference who wins? CHEWIES
would just be more fun.
Yeah. Well, we'll see how he does.
I think he has a dead heat right now. It's a dead heat. Just send
your cash.
What do you think it? I mean, there's no way to we can can
win, right? This is no way. This is not how Chicago works.
No, Chicago doesn't work that way. No, no, no. But definitely
going to the media is definitely going to gouge these Chicago
wins by keeping it a dead heat by polling.
So. So close, dead goals.
actually happened. He had bought Julie's ahead by a point.
dead heat. That's fantastic. Yeah. So we make light of these
these types of episodes and these types of stories because
we have to, we can only address this with whatever mocking humor
we have left. Just to protection airy measure when you need to
learn how to do this as well. Now you've
done a pretty good job. I have one more clip about
this. Okay. About Chicago? Yeah. Oh, good. Good. Good. Good. What
do you got one last Chicago clip. Teachers Union versus a
manual, then you don't, we can stop this after the woman says
the first couple of things, which I just thought very
believable. I think this probably goes on more than we'd
like to imagine of a cynical government workers telling it
like it is but shouldn't be talking at all
schools. We can have great schools everywhere in the city
of Chicago, and educational equity.
Speaking of education, we interviewed Karen Lewis several
times the president, the Chicago Teachers Union, and she told us
about a private meeting she had with Mayor Rahm Emanuel, this
was back in 2012, we had this discussion. The meeting was
about the city's plan to shut down seven schools and fire all
the teachers at 10 other schools. When I
first met him, we had dinner together. And he said, Well, you
know, 25% of these kids are never going to be anything.
They're never gonna amount to anything. And I'm not throwing
money at it. Wow. Even
back, I want to hear that again.
It's hilarious. Great. And you know, it's true. Yes, of
course it is. You know, 25% of these kids are never going to be
anything they're never gonna amount to anything. And I'm not
throwing money at it. Like, wow.
You know, I hear the nurses in the in the hospital with the
with the sick kids talking the same way. What are we gonna
smother these kids? You know, they're never gonna make it's
not working. Even if you
believe that. You can't say that to me. So
I liked it. That was good. Why waste money? Well,
why are we wasting money on these losers?
This is this is a legitimate question. This ultimately that
comes that is the to me, that is the end. And I was I'm getting
older. So maybe you can jump in? That's the ultimate question. At
what point it should society give up on people who? Just
worthless?
At no point? That's the real answer to that question.
But does that mean that everyone has to be throwing money into
the pot through taxes? That's really that's that use of you.
That is your belief? Yeah. So when you're 18, when you're 90,
and then you know, you then you go, then finally the Ask cancer
comes? Should we newbie Yeah, yeah. Then you want treatment?
Yeah, I haven't. I've haven't soaked the government for
anything. And at some point that 90 If I'm 90 with blood cancer,
which I hope I don't have to drop dead, my sleep to be honest
about it. Yeah. And I eat a lot of roughage. So I'm not too
concerned about that. Like some people who just eat
carbohydrates, and yeah, they're the ones who have the problem. I
ate rough, and I expect to get some consideration, of course,
and I think that the losers in society that many of people have
turned around, I've known and myself have these horrible
stories about what punks they were when they were kids. And
next thing, you know, they discovered something they got
interested, they went back to school, and now they're running
some big company into this an important company and they're
the CEO. This can happen and yeah, okay, it's once maybe he's
right. If you're going to be cold blooded, about 25 of these
percent of these kids are losers, but what about the rest
of them that are kind of mixed up with these 25% losers and so
we sift them out or what are we is about that's the that's the
problem. You just have have to throw money at it, but you don't
have to waste money through it. But you're not to
the caveats. Why is
wisely spent is one thing squandering it on middle
management is it's a whole different story and that's the
complaint. Okay, that's the complaint not the overall money
spent. Okay. All right.
Oh, yeah, you have a fair point because of the insurance system
because of the way it was all set up. And we and we know that
the parallel is insurance for your pets. And now just I mean,
I've had pets to all my life and I recall going to the
veterinarian me I get showers a couple bucks now. Okay, fine.
Yeah, well, nowadays that was 400 That's because there's been
a bunch of large corporations like HMOs for PIP for pets. I
went to one of these with a dog. There's HMOs for pets and it's
like it's like you're going into a meat grinder for that's very
slick and they have their little rooms and they charge you for
everything and they put a you know this dog the dog right cone
around the dog's head and it cost you 200 bucks and
everything's rip off is exactly the same with humans. And that
this is the problem it's not the you know, the I mean, the money
well spent is one thing but spent on these these operations
these corporate entities that have just decided that they can
put it you know that it's like everything's like an auto
mechanic where you have a list of the charges and you're going
to charge the person every single one on every single item
on the list. Whether you use the item or not.
Now that you said that you said something that caught my
attention Do you really want to die in your sleep? Just snuff
out like that?
Oh dad or skydiving
I was gonna say fiery ball of flames was it was kind of my
idea. Like like Harrison like Harrison Ford Harrison Ford came
close you know that would that would have been pretty cool.
That's a good way to go. I mean, I'm happy he you know, he had an
excellent landing as you know. Yes. No, I
saw the plane when you
when you walk away from any aircraft you had a good landing.
I think he walked away and then collapsed because he had broken
something his pelvic bone you want to hear the audio of him
declaring an emergency? Yeah. Oh yeah. We love these audios. This
is all the audio there is really just kind of cool because you
hear him? It's Harrison Ford. That's what's cool about it. He
has a distinct voice failure that's it immediately engine
failure immediate return failure in a cool yeah. He's he did a
good job. By the way. He had a lot of experts saying hey, man,
first of all, when you when you have an engine failure on
climbing out this is that is pretty much the worst. And
there's only one way to go. He was higher than the first it was
upwards like 200 feet or something. But even for him to
say returning immediately. If this happens, you have an
interesting failure. On takeoff and you're climbing up there's
only one way you're gonna go and that's straight ahead down and
fast. Particularly in this craft, which I love reading
aviation related stories. It was a vintage jet one story it was
there it was a lightweight plane like an ultra featherlight
whatever no one has this right is ridiculous.
Who is a trainer with some a world war two trainer right yeah
the PT 22
Something like that. Yeah if you take a look at the pictures and
obviously World War Two plenty beautiful actually early World
War Two because it had the crazies circle star thing which
is before predates the modern insignias
Yeah, and I love the internet though. I love the show.
Jet isn't same thing it's gonna have to Larry Ellison. He's got
a neighbor jet.
I think there's a couple of I think is a mirage as well as
Oh, he might he might have two or three jets. Yeah, but the one
he likes flying is the Sabre jet clunker from the Korean War.
I like flying things. But I like modern. Modern with a dude who I
know who's performing maintenance. This is what I
want. But anyway. Yeah, so sky died. Well, we could combine our
deaths and that would be good. skydive into
a flaming ball.
Exactly. i Let's thanks to people for what they've done to
show my school but
Joanie didn't know agenda. Imagine all the people who could
do oh yeah, that'd be fun
before you before you start, John, what are the chances that
you crash land on a golf course and there's a doctor on the golf
course. How does that even happen?
Well, I think the golf course guy does it but doctors Hello,
are you want to crash on a golf?
That's why they're right by the airport too. Yeah, you know you
got a doctor nearby.
Always like you're playing golf. Exactly. So a few people thanks
again.
This was this was actually well I guess we expected not to do
great. This is short,
crappy. This is only 20 All the people at 14,000 people we met
mailed you a whopping 22 of them came up with 50 bucks or more.

the new truths. Where is that from? She wonders Ah that is
from Archer and I'm very happy to ask it's so you want to play
that real quick and then I have a new one from Archer if you
want to play him back to back Okay back to back here we go.
This is the original which of course has some of our sound
effects of marching underneath it
contradiction in this world
so that is the the first one now they're in season five I believe
and I saw I think a post from Sir Jean Baron de Marriott
sheriff of Texas that he does not like what is happening with
season five of Archer I think this might be from Season Five.
Can
somebody explain to me why the CIA is spying on American
allies?
Well, Ray there were these things called dinosaurs. And
when they die, they turn into oil somehow. And that's what
your car uses for food. Thanks.
Well, Al Jazeera
actually, I was wrong. It's the screw that up.
What was that that wasn't for marcher
that is from Archer. The pigs in human clothing is from kill the
kill. I'm sorry. Okay. The Archer the other Archer one is
here we go. I don't want a million emails. So don't don't
email me. That is that is that's the one from Archer. You know,
and I'm glad I caught it now or the jacksie chat room caught it
for me. Because you know what happens when you say something
wrong on this podcast? John? You know what happens? If you email
immediately stop, stop the show. Email What an idiot I am. And
then you see like an hour later, oh, just listen to the rest of
the show. Sorry. Taking up twice
the bits. We if we do it may cope with or correction too late
in the show. 15 minutes after making a mistake. Two minutes
late. We get those email because people won't listen to the whole
show before they Oh man, I have to email them immediately. Got
it. There's nothing else bad more important to do than email
us immediately over these errors. Don't make that many, by
the way. Very rare. You just made one but you corrected it on
the spot. Well, John Haller in Missoula, Montana. 9999 b 71
years old, so we got to 18 year olds, we got 15 year olds, we

Michael Siegenthaler in Phoenix, Arizona, 7777. A, Jennifer
Hedrick and Carlos Pacino in Harvard, Illinois. Kia with a
great work Cervera saw Baris sloth Marin off in trabuco
Canyon, California. We'll put some job karma at the end of
this. Yep, he says, genies job coming everyone else was laid
off from grid stone.
Hey, that's the company he's he's been donating and telling
us the whole story and that people needed a job car man
looks like everyone was going to be okay. This was like it's kind
of neat. He has his own little he's still podcast about this.
You got some shop opera? As a soap opera. Yes, a pod opera.
Oh. Caught up. register that I pod.com pod opera. Put opera

MC con Now Peter McConnell in Stockholm, New Jersey 7010. And
he wants us to say, OK, Google, erase ah, fun address book.
Funny you say rates funny is funny you say this. Everybody
was an iPhone, I'd like you to do the following. If you're not
listening on the iPhone, I was. So Christina is my witness. And
I was able to reproduce it consistently. I was watching the
CPAC interview, it was Judge Napolitano, who finally got a
gig they hired him to interview. Hayden. On the stage there, the
conservative
Michael Hayden was there. Yeah.
And, oh, by the way, the judge at all, he's a patriot. He's a
good guy. That was very, very, very disappointing. Very
disappointing. But so I'm listening on my laptop and my
iPhone six. As you know, I'm all in I got everything else. I'm
only on all this stuff. It's plugged in. Now when it's
plugged in, then if you say hey, and then the you know the S
word, it will activate. And it will do whatever you ask it to
do it as long as it's plugged in. You don't have to press the
button. This is some Hey, Siri,
well cancel all my appointments.
So paid and says something. And Siri activates, and then says, I
don't understand what you want me to do. And was based on this
clip from Hayden saying this will listen to it. And if you're
listening at home, then you have an iPhone, participate. Let's
see if it works.
Only you can give it up. The majority cannot take it away
from you. And certainly American spies cannot take it away from
you. And so
on the word certainly the way he says it Siri activated. So let
me just see if anyone could do that video and do that now on
the chat room. I'd love to know if that worked or not. And then
only you can give it up. The majority cannot take it away
from you. And certainly American spies cannot take it away. I
don't know what you want with Americans. Certainly, certainly.
So I was again, I'm thinking if I'm ever interviewed on a on a
on a live show something new that it's on TV, but it can be
on the radio.
I know exactly what you're going to say. Michael Jackson was
murdered.
No, no, I'm trying to reclaim being asked on live TV after
that one that screwed up my life to Hey, that guy's no good man.
You can't be calling him for the show. And guys know. Or maybe we
could just go to the street with a megaphone car. Hey Siri, okay,
Google. Alexa. I'm still baffled that this was
the one that we always forget about never mentioned which is
that Miranda from Windows era. That thing is for the Windows
Phone. Marie's and Marie, what is it?
I don't know what it is. Yeah,
I forgot. Ingram or Lola. I can't remember the name of what
her name was Lola. Alright, let's take Windows. Windows.
Windows Phone, bitch. What's your name? Bitch. I'll just try.
I think it's a male name.
What is her name? Martina. For Tina. Tina, you have to you have
to say something else about core Tina. Hello, core Tina.
Erase all my appointments. Or was it Cortana? It's Cortana.
That's it for today. That's how that's their marketing their
well let me see. It proved. Microsoft can't mark no
he Oh, I gotta shut here's what you do. Ready? are on honey.
Listen, I got it. Okay, Google. Tweet. The no agenda show is
great. Who says hey Siri, tweet. The no agenda show is fantastic.
Hey, Cortana tweet. The no agenda show was the best podcast
in the universe. Hey, Siri, post to Facebook. No agenda is cool.

Yeah, that's what I mean.
It's the time thing it's all the stuff put together and there's
just no man. Oh, man. How do I get out of that, John?
We did our best for years when it was a buck 45 knots a buck 11

us know. Sir Thomas. Yeah, take your time. And thank you very
much for supporting us. This was we really needed it. That's a
happy that grant do came in. So it's just not easy.
So Jihadi John, I'm just looking through some of the stuff here
Jihadi John. I'm just trying to figure out I'm trying to give
you some local flavor.
Yeah. Yeah. Where's our local flood? Every year over there, I
think, yeah, I only arrived in perspectives.
I arrived here. You know, like Saturday barely slept and wasn't
walking it was you know it's freezing and so give me a day.
Oh, he just got in. Yeah. That's no good. What would you eat on
the plane? Boy, you didn't get us at one tip. So that's a good
good one
that was worth it. Oh, yeah. Daily Star in the UK headline
Jihadi John kidnapped and stripped boys on the M one.
They're really going all out for this now, aren't they? Yeah, he
was kidnapping kids when he was when he lived in when he was
still in the UK get mo nation east. So he was a kidnapper
and he would
strip the boys strip him and he was stripped to kidnap boys.
Because you know, all these all these Islamist fighters. They're
all homosexuals, because that's that's so they're conscious and
rapists. So their culture of boys. Boys, please. We did see.
Let's see the president delegated his Is it the
delegation? Yeah. So we have the money for the overseas
contingency operations, Global War on Terror terrorism Fund,
which I believe he has designated the actual doling out
of that money now to watermelon head. He does this a lot.
Whenever you have like the National Defense Authorization
it
John is giving money to watermelon. Oh,
Barack Obama. Oh, okay. Yeah, he sends a message to Congress
designation of the funding of overseas contingency operations.
And it's also the way that this is how they funded the
Department of Homeland Security. But then in there, there's this
like, and let John Kerry determine when we continue to
send money to people or weapons and I believe we sent weapons do
we not? I will send some more stuff over.
I don't know. Yeah, I think so. Whatever they tell us is a lie.
Well, some things are kind of reported.
But I do have one. One more clip from about the ISIS folks.
Because you know, they've been trying to not just say folks, I
did the ISIS folks. They keep trying to up the ante on them
being a bunch of a holes. So the latest one which I find to be
it's getting there it's getting pretty funny and this is closer
to the what the Taliban was doing play the clip, bulldozing
valuable ruins Ah, yes,
this is very good.
Militants with the self proclaimed Islamic State have
reportedly bulldoze the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrod in
northern Iraq, in what the head of UNESCO has called a war
crime. The ancient site was founded in the 13th century BC.
It's reported destruction comes a week after video showed ISIS
militants smashing priceless statues at the Mosul museum
northwest of NIMH road further south. Meanwhile, Iraqi forces
and Iranian backed militias are continuing their bid to retake
the city of T Crete from ISIS.
You know, we know that this is not
true army when she's done with that. Know nothing. Nevermind.
We know well, I
know we know that better part was not true. I don't know if
this is even no one has a movie of this either. How come they
don't have movies of this? Have you noticed they you know,
there's always a they had a story the last show and we
didn't use it, but about some 12 year old was taken by the I
guess it was the Iranian forces as they were pushing back the
ISIS folks. And they had some 12 year old so they murdered this
12 year old and then they had a cam the little phone cam picture
of this 12 year old they didn't show that getting shot. But
again it goes of course was shot vertically, which is annoying.
That's a no no,
it's just a no no, everyone does
that though. Everyone shoots vertically. So you have this
stupid TV report with a vertical video with a little pictures on
the side of nothing.
One of the index replicators in their
right mind is going to take a movie of this and not Hey, stop
it. pull out their phone, right? This is bullcrap. Now go on I'm
sorry. Well,
this is even though we know that it's been confirmed that most of
these pieces are in western the Museum of London or a bear in
the bag that just opened a new Expo with all of these the
actual pieces and the key running that footage over and
over again of the guys hitting this plaster of Paris and then
the the wires popping out this near the rods and it just keeps
saying oh it's priceless.
Priceless antique. Ah,
what are we going to do? What are we going to do? Well, here's
Denmark in a in a I found this to be interesting Denmark, of
course, as we know is always voted the country with the
people are the happiest on Earth. Happiest, of course, they
also have a very high level of usage of antidepressants, which
keeps you pretty happy for a while. And now they're debating
this. And I don't know enough about the educational system in
Denmark, but we do have a few listeners there so I look
forward to feedback. The Danish
teaching Association wants controversial cartoons of the
Prophet Muhammad to be included in school textbooks. The idea is
supported by two conservative opposition parties. Immigration
spokesperson for right wing People's Party went as far as to
say that it should be obligatory because of the challenges posed
by Islam and the pressure on basic freedoms. Other supporters
insisted the Charlie Hebdo killings and recent terrorist
attacks in Copenhagen are an important part of history, which
should not be ignored. Wow.
That's pretty,
I think is bold. Yeah.
Well, that's a lot different than what's going on in our
country. We have new holidays in New York that celebrate things I
don't even know what they're talking about.
New York City has made history by adding two Muslim holidays to
its school calendar. Mayor Bill DeBlasio announced this week New
York would become the first major city to close school on
eat a feeder and Eid Al Adha. Muslims in New York spent at
least nine years fighting for the holidays recognition,
Shujaat Khan of the Coalition for Muslim school holidays
celebrated the when
we feel included in this melting pot of the country. And we take
pride of the whole world is watching us and our fight can
come to a successful close. Thank you all for coming. Thank
you for thank you all for listening. And thank you all for
the support. We did it. We just did it. Thank you.
Now question for you. This sounded like he was an Indian or
Pakistani guy. Yeah, it could have been and it would have
sounded more authentic if it was
like Arab. Yeah. Yeah. How about sorry about that just sounded
like a normal person. Whether this guy you know, the deep
accent who's been apparently pushing this for the last nine
years, it hasn't improved his what's your what's your feeling?
By moving to France and learning French? I am going to eliminate
my American accent over 10 years. I'm just gonna get rid of
it.
Well, it's not always that easy. And it's certainly not easy when
you're when you're older. When you're when you're young, like I
came in at the perfect age. You can see it with my sisters. I
came in I was seven into the Netherlands. Tiffany was five
Willow was a larvae larvae. Three. And I speak English and
Dutch fluently. Tiffany speaks Dutch better than I do. And her
English is it's she it's not it's almost acts endless. And
then we'll of course now Willow speaks Italian because he lived
in Italy for all this time. But her English was much poor
compared to her Dutch, just age range. And then whatever else
you'd comes along with that, and my parents, my dad's like, he
can barely speak English. But it's not his Dutch is atrocious.
Although people find it endearing and cute.
Does Willow did will live in the United States for 10 years.
Now we know Willow was my point. I said, we spoke English at home
is my point we were we were the whole family unit emigrants, not
not not just by ourselves.
All right. Are you saying people that are past a certain age?
They can't do shit? No. And I think it's damning there. You
know,
I'm saying it's a little harder to do that what you just said
you would do it
sounds like he just kind of
I'm speaking from experience.
You have trouble? Is your Dutch deteriorating?
It's not as good as it used to be for sure.
I know. I can't code as well as I could when I was 20. Maybe
there's something to that. And if I go to a Windows machine
like a Windows 3.1 Have you done this? Go to a Windows 3.1
machine and try to get a program to run? Is this stupid looking
thing? It's just like this alien I don't really
remember what it looked like to be quite honest. Go to
find a gold Windows machine you probably have one when you're in
the garage and try to do anything with it you will find
that you it's impossible that things were garbage.
Let me say I'm just gonna look at Oh right. Oh yes. You had all
these windows that would pop open then it would be I'm do
remember this yeah there was no start button it was
that his file is good called file handler or some little
crazy like here you have
well you had your main your games your accessories and your
media and then you click that and then open up a window and in
there you had your right that's how yeah that's something like
that
you wanted to find there was the site to find her Mac right right
but it's still stupid anyway
I'm just I'm just looking at this okay
I can learn good French then I'm screwed
well I'm but I'm still stuck at the at the school school
closings for religious holidays. Is this something that is this
normal behavior in New York?
With de Blasio, apparently they're going to start closing
the schools as much as they can. Ah, I don't know how many new
holidays are added this? I don't know what's wrong. Well, I
know that we remove Martin Luther King Day as a official
holiday or it's been on it's been off it goes it comes back.
It depends on where you are. Right. Now, I have no idea. I
just thought it was an interesting contrast to the to
the Denmark use of those photos live in river total never
happened in total New York. Okay, I got one more screwy
thing. I had been developed in developing this thesis and you
know it about different kinds of meal you which are not
necessarily just who you hang out with, but it's actually it's
about who you hang out with generally, but it also starts to
incorporate the way you walk you the way you talk and all kinds
of other little nuances that the way you gesture, for example,
and the Obama administration has some distinctive milieu
characteristics. Oh,
folks, fact of the matter. Just in language, there's tons.
Well, that's and that's and yeah, that's in usage, but I'm
talking about more with cadence. The way people talk. Oh, yeah.
Caden, I do have an example. I don't have it on this show. But
I have a with the twerp Susan Rice and other people that work
in the State Department that also sound like her they have
they hit the last words a certain way. Now, you know, he
right in your brain you have Josh Earnest cadence very
ingrained. You know what he sounds like when he talks? Yes,
I do. Okay, well, I have a clip of this guy Tony Blinken, who is
the Assistant Secretary of State, I guess he's on on par
with the Newland Nudelman. Working for Kerry. Listen to
this guy and tell me that this is not a distinctive, Obama
State Department cadence. He sounds exactly like Josh Earnest
Davis spoke to Deputy Secretary of State Tony Blinken this week
about that deal, and a few other big foreign policy issues as
well.
If we get a deal with Iran, and that remains, we're not there
yet. At that point, when the details emerge, people have to
look at it very carefully. And if they disagree with it,
they'll have to say what the alternative is. Because it's not
enough to say, this is a good deal. This is a bad deal. If you
don't like it, you've got to propose something that would
work better. And at this point, the diplomatic path to trying to
get around, not to pursue a nuclear weapon. And not to be
able to produce the material for weapon remains the most
effective way to do it. If we can get the agreement we're
trying to read Obama believes strongly
in the freedom of religion.
You're totally right, nailed it.
Now, I was taken aback by this guy. I thought that was gonna do
it, ask Adam and just run him and say, like, right, but I just
think the making the point is making the point. And the point
is that there's a milieu that is apparent within the
administration that creates people that sound like this.
Nobody sounds like this naturally. Or maybe they'd get
hired that Oh, use I like your voice. You're hired.
I don't know. I'm thinking there's really two kinds of
voices in the in the Obama administration milieu, and one
is this one, which is the let me explain to you what the
President does. And how Of course, we always want to do
exactly the right thing for the Americans faster than that. And
last time I'm working on for the American people. We always want
to do exactly what the President can do his best he has a phone
he has a pen. And as we've said many times right here from this
podium, is that anything more near and or it's a little
better off to work you could probably get I
could probably get it, but at least the version chips, they
punch
up odd words. Now Susan Rice, punches up the last word in a
phrase in a very awkward way. It's not like she's over the top
with it. But there was a guy who used to be on PBS called Bert
wolf Who talked he when he was there, so my friends.
Let's just play a Susan Rice to see what he sounds like I got to
hear,
he served the United States with honor and distinction. And we'll
have the opportunity eventually to learn what has transpired.
And in the past years, but what's most important now,
what's
most important now, I will have the chance to it's more roller
coastering. So
Shanthi, she punches up to most of her explanation, she punches
up the last word in a way that I'm going to do the exaggerated
version of Bert Wolf by reading something in the discussion that
Hillary Clinton use a non governmental email address while
she was Secretary of State, originally came courtesy of
exactly yeah, you know, there's Yeah,
punching up the the important words, which is a trick. It's a
trick,
it is a trick.
And then and that whole, of course, that email thing is
still ongoing. It is. We call that so perfectly, John, I have
not seen a single mainstream story about the Clintons, the
Clinton Global Initiative money coming from Saudi Arabia and
from the Middle East. And now even people who listen to this
show are saying, well, here's more about the email service.
Like it's a non story. We don't care it just except for the fact
that Associated Press made a big deal out of something they have
no facts on, as far as I can tell that she ran the server
from house. That's an interesting discussion to have.
I don't think she had it. But it's covering up all the other
stuff people. Then we have this just speaking of the Clintons
briefly or you want to go on with more Caden stuff.
No, but I like just say I like to bring it in once a while,
which is a little boring at the end of the at the end of the
day. But I want to make it clear that I'm for some reason,
preoccupied with this. And of course, it brings us back to
Glenn Greenwald and his case, yes. And Rand Paul, with the
exact same cadence. And what does that mean? Are they in a
milieu of some sort?
I don't know.
I have to find a couple more examples of that cadence because
it's, it's very distinctive, very distinctive. I think they
both have the exact same cadence.
Mila, why don't we do a couple of side by side clips, and we
can come up with these cadence groups. And we should start
naming them. And we should, and we should, and we should say we
should identify. This is not a bad thing to do. Actually, maybe
maybe it will be probably
then you should find associations. Yeah. Because meal
use or about associations is the, you know, birds of a
feather flock together sort of thing which is used, you know,
probably improperly by law enforcement a lot. But generally
speaking, if you're hanging out with a bunch of criminals,
you're probably a criminal. Yeah.
Interesting news about Haiti and in regards to Hillary and Bill.
If you caught this,
Hillary Rodham Clinton's brother, Tony Robbins sat on the
board of a self described a mining company that in 2012,
received one of only two gold exploitation permits from the
Haitian government. The first issue in over 50 years. The tiny
North Carolina company VCS Mining, also included on its
board Bill Clinton's co chair of the Interim Haiti Recovery
Commission, former Haitian Prime Minister John Max bello read,
the random goldmine. Revelation is just one of dozens featured
in the forthcoming bombshell investigative book by three time
New York Times best selling author Peter Schweitzer nah,
there you go.
New Book, new book, new book, and they're lining up to take
shots at Hillary
Yeah, I like this though. Because I remember that we I
didn't know that. Her brother was involved but I do recall us
looking at the at the rights that were given to just no to
two outfits.
Yeah, yeah. No scam there. No. Okay. How about this one FBI
informant. Clip. This is a guy who was this is a this is one of
they just kind of a crazy clip that you'd hear on democracy.
Now. That is funny. And I'm not sure what the point of it is,
but it's just hilarious.
A former FBI informant who posed as a Muslim convert to
infiltrate mosques in California, has said the FBI
instructed him to have sex with Muslim women if it would help
them gather information. Craig monto has admitted Cullen Acting
phone numbers and other personal information about Muslims in the
Los Angeles area. Even planting a recording device in the local
Muslim Student Union. He told HuffPost Live his FBI handlers
encouraged him to date Muslim women.
There were some times that in the dates, it would get
intimate. So I would ask my FBI handlers what I should do, and
instructed me if I was getting good intel, to allow it to go
into sexual relations.
When he was working as an informant. Aman tells extreme
talk of violence and Jihad alarmed his targets in the
Muslim community who ultimately reported him to the FBI and took
out a restraining order against him.
Now, this sounds like a classic FBI deal, right? Yeah. You bring
a guy in, you make him a troublemaker. He's trying to as
have jihad.
Sign up. I got the signup sheet right here, everybody.
And he's trying to, he's trying to entrap people, they find him
annoying. And they report him to the FBI and take out a
restraining order to keep them out of the mosque. Yeah, good
work.
Well, the intelligence agencies are obviously in flux. I wish
you had done this in a speech or something. Brennan released a
statement more than anything about the rejiggering of the
CIA. Oh, man, this is what do you have here? He said, I know
there seems right now. But what we've tried to do with the
mission centers has covered the entire universe regionally and
functionally. And so something that's going on in the world
falls into one of those buckets. That sounds like he's vying for
the NSA is lunch. With that,
no, that's what it said, when I saw this, I felt the same way.
Is going to be a clone of the NSA
or the creating 10 mission centers. And I don't know if
this is this must be worldwide, I presume.
Here again, this is I don't I get maybe they weren't allowed
to tape him or anything. Or maybe I just wasn't, I certainly
wasn't able to find it. I love listening to him say things.
Although he's bordering on Joe Biden boredom. He'll be
establishing a new Directorate of digital innovation to lead
the agency's efforts to track and take advantage of advances
in cyber technology. This is where we can get in on the
ground floor, I believe.
Well, we need a good idea. We need a plan. We need an idea
product, a product idea or a methodology or something that's
catchy enough that we could be on the ground floor. Right. I
don't know if we have the skill to dream something up.
Well, let's see. Well, we have to come up with something.
Yeah. Yeah. 25 donations. About You know, because I don't know
about the book you plugged earlier. And that sort of Sure.
Alrighty, other here's another way, you know, I'm now
suspicious is a very short item. Another derailment?
Ah, yes. This is no, this is three or four in a row used to
be three,
maybe four. There's a couple that didn't toy. They didn't
blow up, I think. But I think somebody's doing this on
purpose.
You'd almost think that the the percentage of likelihood of
three derailments and was it all three back in crude?
Yeah. This one he played another derailment? Yes, sir, there's
another real.
A train carrying crude oil from the Bakken region of North
Dakota has derailed and Northern Illinois causing a massive fire.
The incident follows two previous oil derailments last
month, which happened within days of each other and Ontario,
Canada, and in West Virginia, he can go to our website for
discus.
Now, this one they say that the firemen couldn't do anything and
they didn't they just abandon it, let it burn out. Which is
bullcrap. Because it is just a they're not trained to deal with
petroleum fires are a specialty. I actually am trained in that
regard.
As a firefighter. Yeah. What really?
I know it's crazy.
When you stop. Yeah, I've known you for a number of years. This
time you surprise me. You've been trained in the skill of
fighting a carbon based fire on a trail fire and oil fire
sitting on a train or just in any oil fight or you'd like read
a dare
No, I don't have those skills that's exploded explosives. It's
that's actually worked for your work in an oil refinery, which I
did they give you I think I don't know if it's optional or
not, but I'm not passing it up oil fighting oil refinery fires
training. And it's, it's fascinating, but it's not
something you would normally think how to do it right. Now
one of the things is that you have to do and you get to play
all these different roles is you have to be you'd go in pretty
far with the with your hose. You have just write that down, guys,
you have two or three guys trained on you, you don't just
do the tour. It's a whole arrows blast in you while you're going
in. So you're
alright, let me get this straight. So you take your hose,
and you roll that sucker as far in as you can get it and then
some guys, I'm dude behind you is blasting you with his hose.
A couple of guys gone, it gets better. And so you're getting
blasted so you can stay cool, because it's really hot. You're
talking about an oil fire, okay. And so you go in and they're
blasting you and you go in and then you can put the fire out,
because you're right on it and you have to know which direction
to blow it you actually always start this is just a generalized
fire tip for people who
in case you haven't oil fire people
for any fire at all, if it's on the side, like or like say a
kitchen fire, you always want to sweep it away from your so you
always hit the stuff in front of you right in front of you and
then you push it until you extinguish it because if you
just start dropping it in the middle or just going aimlessly
it just keeps reigniting it's a real right with any sort of oil
fire which would include a frying pan that fell on the
floor
are you writing this up now or is this you really had this
train
to you if you talk to anyone as a firefighter that tell you have
a sweep away? Right Yeah, because if you don't it just
never get the damn thing out which is the
way to do it but now where did you train on an actual fires for
this? Yes
this
thing up? Wow. Yeah, did
you have protective gear on you go anyway? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you gotta Scott air pack. Isn't that non trivet? There's a
normal fire guy. But most fire guys I think have Scott air
packs. So you put on some protective gear than you throw
on a Scott air pack. So would you throw up or I'm sorry I
Scott air pack? Oh yes got air pack that's what they're called.
Oh, and it's got air pack is a breathing apparatus with a bunch
a couple oxygen. Okay, yeah,
that's that's the real deal. That's the you got the big tank
and you got the helmet with the with the breathing apparatus got
all that stuff. You can get them on eBay and
put this thing on. And then you get your hose and you go in last
this is
fantastic. It's an $800 item the thing is this that's not a cheap
little deal we got there. Oh, you can pick up some secondhand
ones it look a little scorched. This 400 bucks. Oh yeah. You
never cease to amaze me.
Astonishing. I amaze myself. Yes. Yeah, now
that was that was pretty good. I have only one thing to say. Go
fuck yourself. I'm sorry. I just I get sent stuff in. I get sent
stuff in during the show. I thought I'd try it. I didn't
know it was gonna be I didn't mean that towards you.
I thought it was gonna be something else.
Yeah, well, it didn't work out. No, I did not work. But yes. So
they fire regular fire guys. I guess they don't know the
tricks, which is, you know, a couple of tricks. And
if you even know then you think that they know.
Yeah, you would but they said screw this thing Roddy. They let
it burn out. Like wow, okay, fantastic. It was too hot. Yeah,
it could have been like the volunteer fire guys they don't
know what you know they're just gonna hold something down what I
understand is that the these tanker cars on the train that
they had the special reinforced tanks on him
well, there's there's a long story behind those tanks are
which were approved. They're not still the right tanks for that
crap. Okay. Okay. I mean, that's the way I understand it. Well,
long report that I only clipped a little bit of before like the
new The 10 shows ago. By the way, I've always said this to
although I've talked to my local fire department about this, I
think everyone in the family should have fire training with
extinguisher so they know how to use them. Right. local fire
department should provide this for anyone who wants it.
I remember growing up when we have that. And we and I believe
there are PSAs on television public service announcements
that actually would maybe was fire prevention month or
something like that. And you would have a family meeting Have
you discussed your way out? You discuss what happened, how you
would wake everybody up if you could, if you couldn't, and I
remember we had little fire extinguishers on every floor,
every rule because we lived in. Most Americans live in fire
traps. If you have an Austin, they're building so many new
houses and condos, it's just wood. Now that we did, this is a
very strange phenomenon for someone who comes from Europe,
where we build stuff mainly out of stone and break him. And
America, it's wood and wool.
Well, we can't do anything but wood in California. Because
earthquakes. Ah, right that you got
a point there. But in Austin, we don't have earthquakes. It's
just
no just cheap shit. It's cheap. Yeah, I would expect to see more
Breaking stone houses in Texas.
Well, there's a lot of faux stone, like slick fake slate.
It's the architecture not so great in Texas. And also, this
is also
a lot of McMansions in Texas, which are annoying. Yeah. And
particularly
out of north north from Austin, you've got Steiner ranch has
massive, massive collections with a big fence around it a big
gate, so we can keep them in the people from California who come?
Yeah.
Okay, I have a clip here on it. Because we talked about this
once in a while. And I've made certain statements about how
much you could, how cheap you could actually how oil can be
like 20 bucks a barrel, which is historically there hovers around
25, which is still way down from where it is, and how Saudi could
Saudi Arabia could keep doing it, keep pumping oil and making
money. This actually kind of verifies a little of this is
Saudi oil production on Russia today, where they're claiming In
this clip, that the reason that the Saudis are continuing to
pump is not what my assertion was based on some other clips,
which is that Saudi Arabia didn't want to lose market
share, like what happened to them in the 70s. So they're just
gonna keep pumping no matter what. The Russians are trying to
goad somebody into thinking that it's because they hate us. And
Saudi Arabia, really. And they're just doing it to the
screw our frackers, the Saudi
Arabian Minister of Petroleum and minister and mineral
resources, who said that they could still function normally
their economy for up to eight years, even if oil was at $20
per barrel?
Well, that's a question to understand whether it's
profitable for them to bring the oil out of the ground, or
balance their budget, the two are different factors. Some say
that the huge guar oil fields in the east of Saudi Arabia can be
profitable at $10 a barrel. If they cut their production and
oil prices rise even further. Those jobs in the United States
are just going to flow back to the tight oil production.
So in these new conditions, would it make sense for Saudi
Arabia to actually keep the oil prices where they are right now?
If they can keep it at $60 a barrel? They can take offline a
lot of the tight oil production in the United States.
Okay.
Quite clipped out the way I'd hoped. But they say you know, I
think shale oil is 70 bucks needs to be at least
I overheard a conversation on the on the way over in the plane
guy from Dow Chemical who was on his way to Saudi Arabia. And
apparently, they're it's almost like that some hedge or
diversification thing. They're doing really big in chemical
manufacturing, storage transport, which I guess kind of
makes sense isn't it's just another in in many cases, I
guess with Dow it's liquid stuff, isn't it? Yeah. So you
can just use you know, similar infrastructure or people who
know how to operate is that
they're always sending guys over there. Just don't do. They're
gonna build any chemical facilities, but most of the
usually around a refinery like they're here. In the Bay Area.
We have a couple of three, four of them. We have four
refineries. And usually nearby there is a right next to the
refinery. There's you like one of them, the standard oil
refineries union. I don't know who owns it. Now, that was Union
Carbide for a while and that was using certain flows from the
refinery because it's petrochemicals are like a big
moneymaker. And they made petrochemicals and then there
was a fertilizer plant nearby. And they made fertilizer because
you make a lot of from oil, you get fertilizer, and of course,
yeah. And then there was a another third plant that was
making fungicide. That was illegal to use in the United
States, but it was one of the most popular fungicides I can
remember that day full attention It was a name that they were
manufacturing stinks, manufacturing there and this
sort of oil refineries just don't make gasoline and motor
oil. They make all these other things. It's very paint comes
from oil. But the dipole attend stuff. I used to always go there
and inspect the place and always get some stuff is dynamite.
Because, you know, one of the things I grabbed
once I left the house one time today in today's world, I would
have been arrested. Uh huh. So I'm over at the fertilizer
plant. And I said, I need I want to get some fertilizer. Yeah,
bag of fertilizer. Yeah.
Do you have any hair bleach?
No, you just give me a bag. And it was 16 00. Sunday it was it
was a giant 100 pound bag of pure ammonium nitrate. I mean,
this is illegal even have a bag of this stuff. So I had a whole
bag of it. And what the idea was is that this stuff is so
powerful as it as a as a fertilizer, not to mention fed,
you could mix it with things in the peroxide. Rocks, that'd be
one of them. So you take a handful of this stuff and you
find some some some like a big public facing this
is stuff that blew up that whole Texas town was stuff you had.
And you just dribble it around and you can spell stuff. Oh,
giant lawn. Nice. Now nowadays, I just felt no read or listen to
no agenda or no agenda showed Cara. Hey, man. I'm sorry. And
you spell stuff out? And then it would just go nuts? It would it
would turn bright green and grow like, like a foot?
Well, yeah, we used to do when when we live south of Amsterdam
on the phone of
vandalism. By the way, I've apologized for this.
We, we would take the ammonium that would just fertilizer wood.
I don't know what it was. I knew it was fertilizer. And then we
take sugar. And I think I think we then just put it in a
solution. We wet it down a solution of water I believe if I
remember correctly, and then we'd put a piece of paper in it
for each individual piece of paper and then let them dry. And
then you could fold the paper in for and you had little little
for four quarters. And then you could go we went to school. Oh
my god, this shit we used to do, man, I wish I would have been in
juvie. We went to school and then you just light it and you
would like a magician's flash paper is like flash paper. Yeah,
that was cool. You can't do that anymore.
No, no, you terrorist. Well, um, if I had that 100 pound sack of
ammonium nitrate. What eventually happened to the sack
is the basement where I kept the sack of ammonium nitrate. Yeah,
I never used it really for much. I don't know why, except for
writing stuff on people's lawns. Yeah, but then, you know, got
old fast. And I'd throw some of it in the backyard once in a
while for the plants. But eventually the cellar flooded.
And it gets ammonium nitrate turned into one giant ball of
goo. Hard. Sack was the heart as a rock. And because he got wet,
but anyway, he can't even get that stuff anymore. Alrighty,
then.
I think I'm done for now. All right, I have to go get loot
books. We're back on track where they're late. Yeah, it is
getting late. Although the time difference. I think right now it
is seven euros and 43 cents. I'm very confused about everything
going on in Europe. However, I will have things to report on
Thursday, I'll be roaming around. I'm going to several
different locations in the lowlands. So I promised the
people what
they think
we'll ask them what they think and I'll ask them what they're
afraid of. And we'll bring that report to you on Thursday.
Coming to you from Rotterdam here in the lowlands in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're celebrating
International Women's Day. I'm John C. Dvorak. We'll
be back on Thursday right here on no agenda.
Can somebody explain to me why the CIA is spying on American
allies? Well, Ray
there were these things called dinosaurs. And when they died,
they turned into oil somehow, and that's what your car uses
for food. Thanks, Al. Al Jazeera changed the world. Let's do
