That's the kind of idiot she was. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, April 5 2015. Time for your gizmo nation media
assassination episode 710.
This is no agenda
celebrating John and Jesus and broadcasting live from the
crackpot condo in downtown Boston FEMA Region six in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where the rain is rolling
in. Finally, I'm John C. Dvorak. Hill. I will give weather
reports
Exactly. Only on the eighth though. You know, you playing
that harp reminds me of last night.
Oh, God. I hope it's not what you're gonna say.
I don't know what you think I'm just gonna say, Well, I
don't know. But
I'll tell you, Christina and I went to the Stevie Wonder Songs
in the Key of Life Experience tour. here in Austin.
Stevie Wonder is on the road. Yeah.
Oh, good with Maddie was fantastic. At the Frank Erwin
Center, which I've never been to. That's a 16,000 seat arena,
which was almost full, I think in the canceled, you know, the
seats side back at the stage, but that must have been 12,000
people there. And
this was this arena normally used for
basketball. And oh, but it's I would just say concerts pretty
much but also basketball. So
and a certain on the it's on the campus of you. Yes, it is. Is is
at a
certain point. I would watch the Vortex here. But it was Stevie
playing a harmonica. So yeah.
Yeah, exactly the same. Yeah. would know the difference? I
have to say, John,
this if you have an opportunity, you got to go to this. You
really got to go to the show. It was a bit it's like a three and
a half hour show. The guy doesn't stop. And he's and he's
preaching a message of love and everybody was all singing in the
love and everyone's love fast. It was nice. It was he played a
new instrument which I think we should investigate.
Okay, the Harpa G Perpich.
Are you familiar with the Harpa G.
Now there's a bunch of these these. It's a wind it's a it's
like a harmonica but it's not kind of instruments. There's a
slew but that's not the
heartbeat. The heartbeat G H ar PEJJI is a stringed musical
instrument developed in 2007 by Tim Meeks, founder of Marconi
musical products. And the instrument aims to bridge the
gap in sound and technique between guitar and the piano
playing surfaces and isomorphic keyboard layout arranged in
ascending wholetones across strings. The ascending semitones
of the strings travel away from the tattered setup. So you'd
like a it looks like one of those things. What's the name of
those things?
Looks a bit like a zither.
Then once the hippies used to play the autoharp?
Never the autoharp was no good. But the in India Irie was the
special guest if the whole thing was just really good, Greg
Phillinganes musical director they have as you had 30
musicians on stage with you 30 musicians and 30 Stevie Wonder
hits and a good time was had by all
bad and the fun. I'm looking at this crazy thing.
And the cool thing is to Christina so you know there's
two generations there and all sudden she goes Oh cool. He's
doing gangster paradise. Which you won't get that joke but
someone someone out there will Okay, nevermind.
Well, that's good. I'm glad you got out. Yes,
yeah. And then unfortunately, I only had you only had two days
and not a lot of traveling because I was busting my ass
yesterday obviously during the whole day trying to get the prep
done so I could go to the go to the show. And so only had an
opportunity to take two Ubers Oh and just had American drivers
How disappointing
Yeah, you got screwed. Yeah, it's
Yeah, because I was already and we have that we have I'm
gonna go do my research nothing.
You have a jingle here.
I'm sorry. Show's over.
No, it's not over. But I had a cool jingle. I just have no
reason to play it now. So I'll play it gratuitously.
Nice who did that?
That is Ron Aldridge did that for us. were kept in the loop by
the super duper group of Uber spies.
This should do
it. Hey, John. Happy birthday.
Oh, thank you.
Happy birthday. Happy
Easter and birthday to you, Adam acurately Happy Birthday to all
ships at sea on the ground. Yeah.
Did you receive any gifts? Is everyone down? Visiting you or
what's going on? Yeah, it
was visiting. Okay, everybody gotten any gifts for the gift
thing because Mimi's is a gift Nazi. Oh, and she has rules
about gifts.
Do you want to share some of them with Yeah, yeah, Christmas.
Yeah.
You know to open your gifts or at close to midnight. We use
that on the eve on Christmas.
Okay, all you so you open all your gifts and they have nothing
for Christmas morning.
No, no. This is Christmas night. Yeah. Oh, go through the whole
Oh, you go to the whole nation.
Got it. Got it. That's
your your Christmas morning gift is anticipation and a sock. You
get dope in that?
Do you? Do the sock have a mandarin at the toe? My parents
used to do that. I'm sorry. Santa used to do that to me. We
kind of know what that even means. What you said you'd hang
your stocking by the fire with care. And then in the morning
you'd wake up if you're lucky. And then the morning wake up and
then the sock was on the the end of your bed with some stocking
stuffer things in there. But in the toe. Santa would always put
a mandarin and it was like what are we gonna eat this? This is
dying to know what
you're talking about. A mandarin orange? Yeah. No, there's such a
thing has never been heard of in the United States. Anything
anyplace. This has never been done. Well, there you have it.
We will be using those little ones called the sweeties or
something.
Little one. What
is little oranges that are Mandarin? Mandarin oranges.
I don't know, John. I don't know.
They come in a bag.
Okay, so you have when will you receive? When does the gift
Nazih allow you to receive gifts? probably
sometime after dinner.
Okay. Did you? Are you expecting anything? Are you excited?
They've given up? I've gotten all my good gifts over the years
on you know, what? Are they gonna get me? Another harmonica?
You should really be you should get the Stevie Wonder song book.
I'm sure you can do some of these songs. I'm sure you could
do a cup. Oh, by the way. I forgot to tell you. He totally
admitted he's not blind. What? Yeah. On stage. Yeah. The all of
a sudden you go to this whole routine. It was very improv.
Very, very improv. I mean, he had a he had an another persona
DJ, tick, tick boom. And he's doing all this club. I mean,
it's just crazy. Very funny. And then he's like, yeah, that that
blind thing. We've put a lot of success on that. And he's like,
Yeah, I'm waiting for my new Tesla. So I can drive it around.
It's just taking the crack and all these jokes. And I said,
yeah, when I was 11 my mom, he said, we're gonna do a little
Stevie. Oh, I know. Let's tell everybody he's blind. It was
good. Very good.
Well, while you're out doing that, I went to Target sorry to
hear that. Yeah. So I went there for the sole purpose of buying
some biz.
Some what biz? Biz?
Yeah, this is a digital product used to be owned by Procter and
Gamble and everybody heard of it, and then they sold it to
some other Boneheads. Oh, we think I may have sold to another
group. And so nobody's heard of it. Even though it is the
greatest thing so I'm looking up the I remember when it came out,
back in the day, or the least around there. It was developed
and the Europeans apparently use this stuff successfully for a
while but people have lost interest in it because this
isn't biz
stain and odor or limb eliminator. Yeah, uh huh.
So this thing I want to give people a tip on this because I
want everyone to try try to find it but if you because Target
used to have and now that you have to go I don't know where
I'm gonna get it. But try washing towels in this stuff and
the way it works. It's enzymes that do the cleaning. And it's
science.
It's science is what it is
very scientific. In fact, but you have to you have to be
careful the cold water or decomposes the ends. So you take
the cold water, you put it in a washing machine, put a big giant
chunk a cup of this stuff in there. And then you get it so
it's all dissolved then you let it sit for six hours. This is
the old they don't even talk about this anymore. And then you
just run the washer as though it was detergent. it foams up a
little bit and cleans the cleanliness you get out of this
is outrageous. Especially for towels. There is no odor,
they're they're fresher, they're brighter looking they're just
dynamite perfect. They're just this the stock can't
believe of fresh my linen fields
John Seymour idea. Do you think I'm kidding? No, I believe you
will anyway. And so he but as we all cold everything has to be
cold and it's a really strange process. They gave up trying to
market it, and heck with it, and of course is not owned by
Procter and Gamble, so they don't know how to market it
because apparently only p&g and Colgate Palmolive the only guys
that seem to know how to market it, you know, this sort of thing
to the public, I think is a lot of, you know, under the table.
Well, they have a website, John, good news that biz stain
fighter.com. And I see in Eric, I just did want nine for 105.
And you can get it at the Safeway on Jackson Street, I
will get a thing or the Safeway lifestyle on King Street.
Whatever the case, I wanted to guy was running out. So I went
to Target and I was very disappointed that there wasn't
any there. But I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, and I gotta go to
the site. Maybe I can find a place a source for his dynamite
product.
Since this is the ones in the in the 300 year opportunity to
celebrate your birthday on Easter. Are you celebrating any
type of Easter thing? Do you guys do that?
We're gonna go out to dinner. Okay. If you don't have, or so
we're named Tanya works occasionally. Nice. But I know
she's gonna be working tonight. She has she stopped listening to
the show. She's a man overboard.
Oh, hold on. This is another I got a you don't have to do I
have to re reset all the jingles overboard. I need a bigger pad.
A bigger touchpad for all the jingles.
Well, what's the size of your pad?
It's an iPad. It's an original iPad, one would just get two of
them. And that's a little complicated, but more stuff to
carry. Now I just need a different system, I guess I
don't know. But I did do some work. Some actual, some actual
work occurred. And of course, I've been extremely interested
in the Iranian deal, which, as you know, a framework came to
pass a framework means yeah, I've kind of feel like yeah,
maybe we'll figure it out. I have
a bunch of Iranian clips that will try to weave into what
you're doing.
Why don't I start? Well, what I did is I took the president,
President Obama did a little talk there in the Rose Garden.
And about about 20 minutes, and it was very consistent with the
messaging. They do this. Well, I'm pretty sure this of course
is. We've got Megan from Google there. Now. We've got two who
was the head of engineering from Facebook. He's now also at at
the White House. He's
Sheryl Sandberg
No, no, no, no, no, the head of kind of a joke there. No, I get
the joke. So the the email blasts that went out, was very
consistent with the same words, the President used the same
words in his podcast, which he released today, which is very
boring. And he just, I'm not going to play any of that. But
this is 20 minute speech was interesting. And right off the
bat, I discovered that I've been both Surprise, surprise, I have
been using the language incorrectly for all my life
today,
the United States, together with our allies and partners, has
reached historic understanding with Iran.
This sounds so strange to me, I am so used to saying an historic
with instead of a historic. And then apparently this is wrong.
No,
I didn't. It's kind of explained a little bit of that. Okay.
There's a there's a couple of people out there in linguists,
English grammarians that get have radio shows. And one other
guy who I can't I've haven't heard for years, because I think
it took them off one of our local stations, I should dig up
his website. He explained this. And he says, right, as of now,
the more modern way of doing it is to stop using an
this is what I understand as well, I didn't know that this
was incorrect. I've always been saying
it's not incorrect. Well, it's just not modern.
What I understand the research, I found research on it, because
I wanted to call them out. So you're upset about it? Well,
yeah. About You. I listened to words and why isn't he doing an
historic historic it just doesn't feel right. But don't
like I don't like it either.
Because I don't think it flows as well. But you don't have to
use it. You can still say an historic Yes.
But you don't say
oh my god shoot him.
I think it has to do with the type of age that you're using.
For instance, you don't say an herb garden or an hour? And I
say an hour? I do say an hour. It's an honor. Yeah. But I don't
say an herb garden. And maybe I do and it's kind of flows
together. I guess. I don't know. I just Okay, so the modern way
is to say it that way. Is there no rule? Don't we don't have a
rule book for English. Isn't
such a great language. Isn't it? Fine. These guys who know Oh, Oh
now now don't do that anymore. Who decides this other one
that's that's suddenly out of out of vogue I still use it. But
whom Whom the Bell Tolls you now it would be who the bell tolls
and then while or whilst I still like throwing a whilst in there
sometimes
I think I've used whilst once in a while, but I rarely do I just
don't think I would say in verbally. Hmm, sounds a bit
pretentious. Yeah, I'm a rule follower. So if the rule is that
we have to do it then I'll do it.
You don't rule followers very good children. Then, of course,
the president said the thing that I one of the things I It
hurts me every single time he does it. Every single time he
does it.
Can we go back to the rule follower thing for a second
before we go on? Yeah, sure. I've been wondering about this
because I'm always expected, you know, people that say this or
this. I'm a rule follower. How come you're How can you not or
are you a rule follower? I'm expecting somebody to ask me
this someday. Okay. And I'm gonna say not necessarily. You
want to try
it on? So just try it out first. Yeah, let's
do it. Okay. Hey, John. Yeah. Are you a rule follower? Now, if
the rule sucks.
Hey, Leo, how about you? I'm a rule follower. Okay. Just want
to make sure you're still on board. So here's the thing that
the President does time and time again, he switches it up
sometimes. But this is the one that irks me the most as
president
and commander in chief, I have no greater responsibility than
the security of the American people. Hear me?
I'm sorry. That is incorrect. President 44 incorrect, sir.
Incorrect. The your greatest responsibility is to uphold and
protect the Constitution. Not the security of the American
people. Why does no one ever fault why am I the only guy?
Well, because you're the only one who gives me gives a crap
about this, I
guess. So. I just It irks me to no end.
Well, then the media doesn't care. In fact, I don't want to
change the subject because it's only a short bed. But I did run
into a piece on who beat up Harry Reid. Did you run into
this? Yes, but
do you have a clip about it? Are you wanting Oh, I have no
clip. I just have apparently his brother. His brother Larry.
Yeah. And his other brother Larry, apparently. But his
brother Larry was is a drunk. And he's an Alcoholics
Anonymous, and apparently beat up, Harry.
Hold on a second. Hold on a second. Hold on. Now, is he a
recovering alcoholic? Or? Yes, we
could wait. No, he apparently is not recovering. But he is an AAA
member trying to recover. Okay,
well, that's it's a serious disease. So let's not just take
light of that. I didn't take a lighter said He's a drunk. He's
not light is I don't mean lightly. I'm not joking.
Whatever the case was, he came into an AAA meeting with
witnesses. And he said he beat up somebody never said of who
but he's worried that the Secret Service was out again, is
anonymous at the meeting named Larry. And then the next day was
buzzing on some DUIs pictures in the paper and all the members of
the group in a meeting. So oh, look at that. That's who it was.
Yeah. And so the kicker the story is not that his brother
beat him up to me. And I have a article on a little website that
discuss this in detail. So the kicker was a couple of the
members of the group called the local TV station, and said to
them, Hey, we found who beat up Harry Reid, Baba. And they went
on and on and the station said, we're not interested that?
Of course not. We don't want to troll me was the kicker,
because this is the problem with the media. And the only reason
that our show even exists. Television guy, no, we're not
interested. I mean, if it was I was the news director at a local
station. Somebody called me up with this tip. I can already
imagine that Jesus was at Harry Reid's brother who beat him up
details that 11
Cain and Abel were nothing compared to Larry and Harry
news. 11.
It just you'd want to watch this. But no, they didn't. They
weren't even interested in the story
that you know them, then that means there's they've been told
not to not to do it.
Well, that's a possibility, too, which is even worse. You don't
like your broadcast license on. All right, back to
Iran. By the way, we'll all be licensed on the internet too.
And so all I have some proof of that
bow. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Then the President goes on. And
he's mentioned three options, which, which this second one was
just fun. It's pretty interesting that he just came
out and said this.
The fact is, we only have three options for addressing Iran's
nuclear program. First, we can reach a robust and verifiable
deal like this route. Man Ron from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
The second option is we can bomb Iran's nuclear facilities.
Everybody
Oh, bomb man, we need to kill them, bomb them, bomb them. We
need to kill him, bomb them, bomb them, we need to bomb them,
we need to kill them bomb them again.
I just find it kind of Cavalier mom and I got him for wanting to
not a problem thereby starting another war in the Middle East
another one. Yeah. And we don't know
back Ron's program by a few years. In other words, setting
it back by a fraction of the time that this deal will set it
back. Meanwhile, we'd ensure that Iran would race ahead to
try and build a bomb that we could pull out of negotiations,
pull up, try to get other countries to go along and
continue sanctions that are currently in place or add
additional ones and hope for the best. Okay.
This isn't setting back anything. No, it's put it says
Begin to stay in place. Well, how's it setting it back? Well,
I gotta forget the research they've done. So
this this particular deal, I feel is so multipronged. But it
really is once again about the 2016 elections, no doubt about
it. So we the way this is set up, and I didn't clip all of
this stuff, but we have the framework, then negotiators will
work on this and the details will be fleshed out through
June, which probably will mean it'll go all the way through
summer. And then we'll start getting it full force in the in
the sweeps week for the fall season. And of course, this is
right around the time when we need to really start making
everybody look stupid, particularly the Republican
Party, they need to be looked like they are putting the entire
world in danger. And the President was very clear about
calling them out, which is this is a setup. And the Republicans,
by the way, are going to use this exact same deal for their
benefit. So this this is a set it'll be such a huge dividing
issue amongst the the people who still do vote in the country.
But there'll be it'll further divide. Red, Blue left, right,
Democrat, Republican, but you have to
remember that when Obama first ran for president made all his
promises, which now he's beginning to, you know, after
seven years is last year, he's trying to implement a few of
them. And one of them if you recall, besides closing down get
Mo, which he's apparently never going to manage, even though
it's the number one thing. Yeah, he promised that he would go to
the table with Iran and bargain, right. And the Republicans use
that as leverage against him saying, who would charge these
horrible people that we shouldn't talk to them ever. And
McCain, of course, is leading the charge, especially the first
go round, and that we can't talk to them? We don't know can't
because they're, they're unreliable. And I have a funny
clip that's kind of long, which is,
can I just put in the little little threat that he puts here,
which is the ally of only this, and one more quick clip, and
then I want to go to yours? Yeah. So this is just showing
the strategy behind the deal. And I'm sure that he's, I am
pretty confident that he said, Hey, take your time, this, let's
just announce we're good to go. We can figure it out. At the
end, this is just like any big merger, but you want to if you
want the stock price to pop up, there's things you want to do.
And we want some political capital, stock price to pop on
this. We need to whatever we do, if this fails, it's the
Republicans
if Congress kills this deal, not based on expert analysis, and
without offering any reasonable alternative, then it's the
United States that will be blamed for the failure of
diplomacy. Uh huh. international unity will collapse,
international unity will
collapse, John will collapse. Conflict will widen. The
conflict will widen. The American people understand this?
Yes, they do. Just why solid majority support a diplomatic
resolution to the Iranian nuclear issue.
So the gauntlet has been thrown down the gauntlet has died that
but the Republicans have always been critical of Obama for not
being diplomatic. And, well, there's more to it. He's really
put painting them into a corner and the only one of the guy I
mean, it's just this like a sucker's game, and they have the
suckers already lined up. Oh, yes. And the only guy that's
kind of the one mysterious situation than the guy kind of
caught in the middle is the next new head of the Senate on the
Democrat side, which is Schumer because Schumer is in Israel's
pocket. He's their guy. And he doesn't know what to do. It's
hilarious.
Why he'll just blame he'll just blame it on the Republicans.
Well, he's not blaming anybody what he's not saying anything.
Yeah, yeah.
Neutral. One more piece. One more piece here. This deal this
This is so clear. Goodbye, Hillary. Goodbye, Elizabeth
Warren. Hello, John F. Kerry
and most of all, on behalf of our nation, I want to express my
thanks to our tireless and I mean tireless Secretary of State
John Kerry, and our entire negotiating team. They have
worked so hard to make this progress. They represent the
best tradition of American diplomacy.
And there is now a rumor, he could be up for a Nobel Peace
Prize. Hearing. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I told you this guy thinks he's
going to be president. This is so obvious. I wish they'd
run him again. I would be
so much fun, wouldn't it?
Well, it The problem is, then you'd get a Republican and you'd
have an economic collapse. The Democrats would be in office. I
have issues with that every Democrat has to be elected.
Did you see him? Well, he's a Democrat.
He won't get elected. I said Democrat has to be elected. He's
not electable because of his head because he's an a hole.
Oh, okay. And Hillary Clinton is not
what when he, you know, and Pocahontas George Bush's second
term, and he couldn't beat George Bush, please.
Did you see Bibi Netanyahu his response? Yeah, I did. Would you
like to like it? Sure. He did not. I'd like to share this with
the
group yesterday and Iranian general brazenly declared. And I
quote,
brazenly. I could not really attribute this quote, I couldn't
really find it up.
Excuse me. Netanyahu made it up.
Israel's destruction is non negotiable.
Israel's destruction is non negotiable. Where exactly did I
hear this quote? I couldn't find I could find lots of resources.
But the general got to do with negotiations about anything. Was
this general did he name his name? He would have named his
name did he name his name? No. Oh.
But evidently, giving you Ron's murderous regime. A clear path
to the bomb is negotiable. This is unconscionable. I agree with
those who have said that. Iran's claim that its nuclear program
is only for peaceful purposes, doesn't square with Iran's
insistence, and keeping underground nuclear facilities,
advanced centrifuges, and a heavy water reactor.
This is where everyone's eyes glaze over. Nor does it
square with the Ron's insistence on developing ICBMs and its
refusal to come clean with the IEA on its past weaponization
efforts. At the same time, Iran is accelerating its campaign of
terror, subjugation and conquest throughout the region, as
there's some good
words there.
Terrorists gay gay, good,
right terrorists subject sub. Was it sub subjugation,
subjugation and conquest of terror?
subjugation and conquest? Yeah, yeah. throughout the region.
Yeah. Recently in Yemen.
Yes, that's correct. And a US jets are refueling the Saudi our
tankers are refueling the Saudi jets. Good. Yeah.
The concessions offered to Iran in Luzon would ensure a bad deal
that would endanger Israel. A battle is the bad deal peace of
the world.
This guy said, Al he is
now is the time for the international community to
insist on a better deal. A better deal would significantly
rollback Iran's nuclear infrastructure. I think he's
drinking.
It sounds a little bit
significant uglies. better deal? Definitely.
A bit. He does sound drunk.
They like to you know, he lost his global battle there with
this with these negotiations, because the heaven forbid that
the Iranians become part of the system.
So he, I think he I think he's he's just drinking away, man,
let's try to get
a better deal would significantly significantly a
better deal would link the eventual lifting and he sounds
very nasal, of the restrictions on Iran's nuclear program to a
change in Iran's behavior. Iran must stop its aggression in the
region, the region stop its terrorism throughout the world
and stop as threats to annihilate Israel. That should
be non negotiable. There you go. And that's the deal that the
world powers must insist upon.
Okay. Good luck with that. Yeah, good luck.
So just seems like this is politicized that Iran is already
our friend. We're giving them enough centrifuges to put into a
matrix or parallel to absolutely create a nuclear weapon. Well,
there's
a number of good observations about this. In a couple of these
clips we'll explain but first we have to play this clip which
I've been itching to play because there's a one of the
guys on our watch list the no agenda watch this is is quoted
on this okay, what are we this is the Iran and guess who clip
and this is a backgrounder after
conflict will widen the president telephone top
Republican and Democratic leaders to outline the deal.
Many lawmakers reacted cautiously insisting on more
details. Democratic Senator Charles Schumer of New York
typically a strong White House ally, said nothing positive,
saying only the deal deserves careful, rigorous and deliberate
analysis, adding he will give it a very careful look, freshman
Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas seen enough the terms
announced today are not as bad as I'd feared they're much
worse. They put our ran on a path to a nuclear weapon,
whether Iran follows those terms or whether Iran breaks those
terms. The only blame as deserved as President Obama for
starting down this dangerous path. And now continuing down
it.
The President insists Iran can be forced to open up its nuclear
program to international inspections. And,
John, this is great that you played this. Because this cotton
guy, he is being set up so hugely for such a massive fall.
Have you have you seen what they're doing to him?
I don't know what you're talking about. But I do find it peculiar
that most of the House and Senate are on vacation, or
Easter and he's still hanging around.
And this guy, Tom Cotton, who was the lead author on the 47th,
Senator letter open letter to Iran. He's now going on all the
shows anybody's being asked new questions which he immediately
tries to steer away from now we've discussed Tom Cotton. And
we believe well, actually, we have some photographic evidence
of him in a gay bar. And this, this quick marriage that came
down and the marriage champion against the marriage, the beard
is in place now. We don't know and it doesn't really matter.
Other than that, other than that, here's where he's got
here's where he's being set up. And you just can wait for this
put it in the Red Book. Well,
Wolf in Arkansas, we believe in religious freedom. That's one
reason why our everybody believes in Well, that's
one of the that's one reason why it is the discrimination,
potential discrimination against gay Americans.
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act was signed by
former Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton in his first year in
office. These laws are modeled on that. And a lot of the
concerns about discrimination haven't been brought borne to
bear over the last 20 years. But I also think it's important that
we have a sense of perspective about our priorities, and around
the hanging for the crime of being gay.
This this thing is an outrage what he's saying here, they say,
Hey, we're better than Iran, because if you get there we
hang. Yeah, they're
currently imprisoning an American preacher for spreading
the gospel of Jesus Christ and around, we should focus on the
most important priorities that our country faces right now. And
I would say that a nuclear armed or when I
move it away to the let's go back to the to the nuclear thing
because I just said some crazy about, about Iranians killing
gays. Here's the headline. Here's the headline the
way he mispronounced his Iran. Oh, yeah. We know it's never
been read in.
But yeah, because he's set up for the fall. Here's the
headline. Tom Cotton, anti gay. Turns out he's gay.
Well, there's no anti gay. No, where's the anti gay part of
him?
He's okay, where's the anti gay part of the religious freedom
act if there's not in there either. That's very easy. You
just say here's Republican first of all, you're a Republican. You
got to be anti gay.
It's just Republican, another gay Republican.
You wait for it.
You're hiding it? Why was he hiding a marry this woman with
marriage was a sham his way it would work. Marriage was a sham.
If he's so religious. Why would he swear to God and be with this
woman when he likes men? Why is he just admitted? Why is it just
come out with it? Why is he But Troy was you did. You've tried
to fool the church that he lied to the pastor.
Man, you just did all the CNN segments right there and then 10
seconds, except they'll do it in 10 days. Well, they have to
stretch it. So I just want to point out that he's Cruz, he's
cruising for a fall. All right, back to your clips.
Alright, so that's him. The funny thing is he's mentioned in
almost all the different clips from all the different places
we go when you sit when you say in Iran, that you have a rageous
that is that in Iran, they kill you. Yeah. How about Saudi
Arabia? Once you've mentioned that while you're at it? Well,
that's a good point. Dan freed not gonna say that or Well, rain
for them by or any other place. Yeah. Or Corpus Christi. Sorry,
corpus. Sorry.
All right. So what do we got here? I think what's this
Schuler clip. Oh, no, that's not true. I was thinking Schumer. I
get my clips. I gotta go with this is interesting. Let's do
it. Let's do the long clip that just get you have to break this
up. This is the Iran deal with real skeptics. And it's just a
guy. No, just play this, see where it goes under this
agreement. And that's what we have done our bottom lines here
in terms of what we just said,
this is Marie Harf.
Yeah, she's out there.
She's back. Nice, good to have Marina press
conference, it wasn't interesting enough to get too
much out of it, because this is part of another package. Right?
So I listened to it. It was just except for a couple of little
items, which we may put on the next show. She got just flew in
and her arms retired. I had no, what's his name's not there. She
was glaring at some guy who took over his spot. Like you're
sitting in his seat, kind of really? Yes. I mean, it was a
stink guy.
Let's continue with the Murray heart. Oh, in this one time at
bandcamp.
I stuck a flute under this agreement. And that's what we
had. bottom lines here in terms of what we needed to get at the
negotiating table have never changed or
other parties to the talk struck notes of caution. The French
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, insisted a final agreement must
ensure there is no Iranian bomb, said that this agreement is not
entirely solid, that would mean that Iran could get a mom and
this is unacceptable. And if this agreement is not perceived
as solid, that means that the countries of the region such as
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, and others, could also start
thinking of making a bomb.
Hey, wait a minute, I'm
shocked, shocked to find out that verbalizations going on
here.
And that would mean a nuclear proliferation keep dangerous for
all. There is no specific schedule on resumption of talks,
which have a deadline of June 30. And the analysis of Shields
and Brooks, that's syndicated columnist Mark Shields and New
York Times columnist David Brooks. So David, let me start
with you. If the heartland
second, stop it. Now. This is the end. By the way. This is
Brooks, you know, the New York Times. And he has a very funny
at the very, very end of the clip. Yeah, he makes a snide
remark that I just think I just thought was what made my head
kind of what,
David, let me start with you, if the hardliners or some
hardliners in Iran are opposed to this. And if Benjamin
Netanyahu was opposed to this, did the US successfully or us in
the coalition thread the needle and try to get the that they
wanted to? Well, I
don't think so I must muster with the hardliners over here.
So you know, I'm skeptical of the deal. I mean, it's parts of
it impressive. The inspection regime is pretty good. And so
people who really know what they're talking about saying for
10 years, will at least have access to lots of different
parts of the Iranian weapons system, maybe not some of the
Republican Guard forts and areas like that. But it's a pretty
good regime. My problem with it are twofold. First, the whole
goal of this thing was to get rid of the Iranian nuclear
program. That's what the President said, we're a long way
from that. Second, in 10 years, lots of bad things can happen.
They can really move quickly. Third, it's a big bit on the
nature of the Iranian regime. Is it a regime that wants to join
the community of nations? If it's that then it's a home run?
brocco bomb, we'll get on history and he'll earn the Nobel
Prize. He got it whenever he got it.
He still earned the prize he already got. Is that what he
said?
He says you earn the price he got whenever he got it.
No, Kerry's gonna get it. He can't get it.
No, no, he's not gonna get it. He already has it. He's earned
it. Finally,
I think you can win the prize twice.
No one's ever won the Nobel Peace Prize twice. Or maybe
you You're probably right, said,
I gotta come up with new people. We're gonna give it to so and so
we just gave it to him. Let's give it to him again. We've got
to find more people. It's embarrassing if he gave it to
the same guy it is. Anyway, there'll be one other clip I
have, which is kind of interesting because the guy runs
down. This guy's the ex Ambassador to Germany, Iranian
Ambassador to Germany. And he runs and there is on Democracy
Now. So you can kind of see where that is gonna head. And he
runs down a litany of what the Americans think of the Iranians
and what they think of America, in the streets or in the Uber
cabs. It's the same thing you'd be hearing if you had done your
job. And gotten in the Uber cab. I
got an Uber that didn't have there was no foreigner in there.
Pay no attention to it. But play this is complaints from the
Iranian DM means Democracy Now I'm quoting my clips are very
good about
peace that Peter boek Baker, a New York Times. Reporter
recently wrote he wrote quote since the 1979 Iranian
revolution that swept out the Washington supported shot and
brought to power and anti American Islamic leadership. of
the country has been the most sustained destabilizing force in
the Middle East. A sponsor of the terrorist groups is bola and
Hamas, a supporter of Shiite militias that killed American
soldiers in Iraq, a patron of Syria's government and its
bloody civil war, now a backer of the rebels who pushed out the
precedent of Yemen. Could you respond to this?
Sci
Fi future said no. Much better. No, not really.
This is how some Americans they read Iran. But you should know.
There is the same reading of some Iranians about the US. They
believe the US has support the the US is the source of
instability in the Middle East.
They believe get him off the air. Now this
has supported all dictators in last 60 years. Shah was Shah of
Iran was a corrupted dictator, supported by the US. A Mubarak
in Egypt was a corrupted dictator, supported by the US
mentally in Tunisia was a corrupted dictator supported by
us. And they have a lot of evidences even today. Many US
allies are corrupted and dictator and there is no human
rights, no democracy, but they have full support of United
States of America. They believe that the US invaded Iraq and
made Iraq these stabilizers they believe the US invaded
Afghanistan lead to expand of terrorism and require the
Geppetto nostra ISIS. They believe Saddam Hussein used
chemical weapons against Iran killed 100,000 Iranians and the
US provided material and technology for Saddam Hussein to
use weapons of mass destruction against the Iranians. I mean,
these these are mutual grievances. But we need to
change the course mistrust is that every side has its own
reading story and history
ladies and
gentlemen. It is time to rumble
Iran's helping us realize that's the way I see it. Well to work
in they're doing Yemen. They're doing Hezbollah as lots of
stuff. And we control Iran you control the Middle East. Well,
you know what Stevie Wonder said last night. Do you want to hit
the genius Stevie Wonder. He said if I say if I could talk
I'm doing the head movement if I could talk to all the leaders of
the world you know what I would say? Cut the bullshit good old
Stevie straight to the point
where he made that's a good yes. I didn't know your Microsoft
sensitive off axis
I want to mention that Isaac Piggott is has delivered an
entire buffoon for like five or six of these
shocked shocked to find out that rationalization is going on
here.
I think they did a pretty good job on that. I like it. I like
it. I have a couple I'll surprise you with them.
You surprise me. Are you gonna surprise me with them? Yes. When
when? You'd be surprised that I like No,
no, no, no, I know you. I know what you like. I know what you
like Johnny.
Okay, let's play one more clip. This has got nothing to do with
the main thing is just something else. I just want to make as an
observation play Iran and oil prices
on Wall Street. The Iran nuclear deal said oil down $1 to $49 a
barrel and stocks made up a little ground. The Dow Jones
industrial average gained 65 points to close at 17,007 60.
I presume if does the sanctions. Sorry. And the follow up clip to
that. Oh, I'm sorry.
What is the flav food prices.
Food prices around the world have reached their lowest point
in almost five years. The United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization reported the news today it's due in part to rising
production and the falling cost of crude oil
does Gwen Eiffel do her own grocery shopping? Doesn't sound
like it.
I what's happened? Which no one's put two and two together
apparently be there. The falling price of oil lowers the cost of
distribution because of all the because we don't do anything
locally. We talk a big game. Oh local by local. Most people
can't buy locally because you can't grow tomatoes in
Minnesota. Oh sure. You can they taste like crap, by the way. But
the good tomatoes was you had to be grown in some hot area. What
can you grow in Minnesota? Oh, I know homegrown terrorists. We
have that in Minnesota.
Yeah, nicely. I
should have had that. Yeah, no, sorry.
It's like it was almost a softball but unfortunately it
took too
long I was
flat footed.
Whatever the case so there's a connection between The Iranian
negotiations because it is helping lower the price of oil
because we wouldn't have
once that oil starts flowing, it will go even lower. Yeah. And we
could
we all end up with low food prices and everyone's going to
be happy except the elites
and the end and the EU. I don't think they're going to be very
happy.
Well, as far as I can tell they're nothing could ever make
them happy.
But we through with Iran,
I'm done. I think so. We'll just wanted to do the end point,
which is food's gonna be cheap food.
Well, we'll see if it translates all the way through to the
supermarket and how long how, how long that will take. I'm not
seeing it. Little thing now that I have to do all my own grocery
shopping. Not seeing it.
going grocery shopping. Yes, over this store. You see what's
fresh. What looks good. I know by some meat, you go go through
the meat to go, ooh, what do I want to eat? And then you grab
it. It's like hunting. Yes. No, I feel
like it's actually the ultimate hunter gatherer or combo,
because you're hunting for meat, but you're actually just
gathering it up. It really works for for the human resource.
Yeah. And we then I would like to thank you for your courage
and say in the morning to you, John C where the C stands for
cleaning products of merit Dvorak.
Oh, that's a good one. Well, in the morning to you Adam curry
and also in the morning all ships to see boots on the ground
feet in the air subs in the water. And all the Dames and all
the nights out there in
the morning to all the Minnesotans listening and chat
room. No agenda stream.com morning to you. Good to see you
all here but actually pretty, reasonably low number I guess
today people are celebrating something your your birthday,
obviously and we had someone
there looking for a eggs and Easter egg hunt day.
We had once we have two special donation amounts. One, of course
is still the Fletcher Fest and I have a number of Fletcher shouts
to share with you. That's the 314 15 and of course the special
45 not 15 for the John C. Dvorak birthday Easter combo platter.
Well, you can also go to since it is my birthday go to I think
I have a clip that says Happy Birthday hit it.
Happy birthday.
I'm sorry, I don't know where that came from. Are you going
behind my back with Fletcher clips? Is that what you're doing
here?
Got a couple lined up. Yeah. All right. Let's thank a few people
who are the executive and Associate Executive producers
for show 710 which is something I forgot to use kind of I didn't
put that in the newsletter because I didn't write a
newsletter.
You wrote a newsletter and said no newsletter newsletter for
you.
But 710 split in bowling, and I used to be a bowler 710 split is
the most formidable split that you can get. When you're
bowling. Separate the Big Four is kind of like a bit too big
for you. The 710 split the seven way way
down hold on one second. You can't just gloss over this. You
used to be a bowler? Yeah, professional.
No, I know for money. Iboga people who became professionals
I was at University of California bowling team NC
double A's you
never cease to amaze me, Johnson, please. And now it'd be
on from chemical engineer to bowler off
huge fan of interests. Anyway, so the 710 split, which I've
never picked up. It can only be picked up as a as just lucky.
So you have to you have to hit what is what is this? What is
the arrangement you
can see on the far corners and there's a back hole in the
middle. Yeah, and there's no way of sliding a pin over. It's
impossible. That dude could do it. Two ways you can pick it up.
One, if you come toward one of the pins. Usually if you're
hooking to the right it'll, you'd go to the seventh side and
you'd slam the pin is home right right good against the wall.
Yeah, so it bounces back lucky. It would come back onto the lane
spin around and knock over the 10 I never it's rare. It does
happen the other way. Which is the way I think you could
probably cheat to do this. You slam into the seven or the 10
straight head on as hard as you can so it goes into the back and
the ball hits it again back there and then makes it bounced
back out into the lane and accidentally knocks over the
other pin nice. It's very I've never done it. And I just the
best way to deal with
and this relates to our executive producers how
today is seven show 710 Got it. If you're listening earlier I
heard okay. And I didn't get to say anything if I say this as a
formidable show number. Indeed. Murray State almost He hit the
710 but he had 719 30 which is 348 plus 405. I don't know why
do 405 or 515 which is my birthday. Wow, okay, and Easter

to be sir Festivus Oh, Festus he does want to be Festus of Alva
Festus of ALS. You
got it. Like looking forward to the ceremony later on the show.
James Webster came in with $500 from Bayfield, Wisconsin, home
of the Badgers. My daughter a no agenda contributor for years has
been on my tail to donate for an embarrassingly long time and
love to show and the pressure of being a longtime Boehner and
sharing an Easter Sunday April 5. birthday with John C was too
much to bear. Nice.
Do we have him on the list? I'll check to James Webster because
he doesn't ask for a shout out or anything. Well,
Eric's usually pretty good about that. No, he's not on the list.
Now. This is pretty okay. You're James Webster.
Yeah. All right. I got him. The great has finally lifted also a
little karma for said daughter who is recovering from a recent
neck surgery would be appreciated. Keep up the good

looking a gift horse in the mouth and I figured hey, this is
Fletcher we're talking about the guy's a legend. Resolve the

Minneapolis Minnesota nuts 22765. He'll be our last
Associate Executive Producer for show 710 hopefully this makes it
in time for the Sunday show. I've never done this before so
I'm not sure how it works. I opened the no agenda newsletter
a couple of weeks ago and was amazed to see that John's
birthday is on Easter is even more excited to see the
newsletter mentioned the fact that Easter hasn't fallen on his
birthdays. April 5 says 1953 My dad's birthday was also in
April. This is a sad note by the way is also April 5 And in fact,
April 5 1953. It was the day my dad was born. I've been hearing
for years now he was looking forward to Easter falling on his
birthday again. It was a sign And sadly my dad passed away
very suddenly last November. He was incredible man and we miss
him very much. Celebrate my dad's birthday wanted to give
you guys something I care about some to some to something I care
about a chosen no agenda show my donation amount of 22765 is my
dad's birthday 4553 multiplied by five to put me over the
amount for an Associate Executive Producer ship. I'd
love to hear a birthday shout out for my dad, Paul. I think my
mom would get a kick out of it too. If you haven't asked for
too much already. I'd love to hear that eight bit ish.
electronic version of let's get social, which I heard on
Thursday show followed by an LG why keep up the great work and
have a happy Easter John.
And we'll throw in some karma for you as well. Sorry for the
loss.
You've got Harma. Okay. All right. That concludes our
Associate Executive producers and executive producer for show
710. And I want to remind people, we do have a show on
Thursday, which will be less celebratory, but still
important. And I want to like.org/na
Send some karma out to void zero. But he is kind of fun.
Because he we installed some kind of encrypted app thingy,
which is either signal or Telegram, whatever it is, if
he's using it, then I'm sure it's secure. And he is has been
messaging me from his hospital bed, where they opened him up
and they like them took out mucus from his lungs, he sent me
a picture which I wish I could post that it's hilarious. He's
got two suction tubes, and it's just and then he's on morphine.
So he starts texting me. And hey, crazy. But I said I got an
idea. said that because he couldn't sleep. He had pain and
everything I said, Here's what I do. If I can't sleep, close your
eyes, imagine a command line. And then you just start to
commit and you're creating piped commands, and then see what see
what the result is on your virtual terminal and got them
through the night. Now, hopefully today, the tubes come
out and he can resume his important duties as a Knight of
the seven inch rack to seven to 12.
Tell us about the telegram product?
Well, so there's two products that telegram product is open
source. And there's no account needed. An identifier is a phone
number, which of course you could spoof the phone number
that you can don't have to put in your actual real phone
number, although you do because you get a text message or
something. I'm not sure. But it's do you do. But it is. So
there's it's an open source. So you can see what's happening.
But it is apparently completely encrypted. And and. And you and
I are even using it now for some things.
Yes, we will. I can use it all the time. It seems like it works
just as well as anything. And there's already like two
separate systems on the Mandroid thing. There's one that works
for the phone number and there's another one and I like this
better. It works straightforward. It also
receives the does fine with you know, the way you input the data
with a microphone into
it does. I think you can can you call people this as well? I
don't know. Maybe not. But you can send pictures and stuff. And
it works. It works quite well.
Yes, peer to peer. So this doesn't have a middleman. Right.
It's a good product. We can talk more about that in tech news if
you want. If the tech grouches are willing to join us today.
No, no, I mean either.org/and A Thank you very much to our
executive and Associate Executive producers for your
support for this program. So 710 now propagate the formula is
this. We go out with people in the mouth
thing is still it's time for a new jingle system. This is you
hear cutting out when I hit a new one kind of strange.
Now I know a couple of times maybe?
I've been using this product, which is the what's it called?
It's called the sound bite product from Black Cat systems.
We've been using this for the since the date show one I think,
of course, you know, it's upgraded throughout the years,
but maybe time to look at some other products. I got an email
John about off OPEC oil, which we discovered as a term in
Nigeria with the defeat of Goodluck Jonathan as the
president there. And of course we've been following this stolen
oil situation. That was you know, 15 or 20 billion had gone
missing and we sent over our military attache which is Good
accountants This is how cool our network is our no agenda
intelligence network this is X grinder a code name obviously
good day Mr. Adam. I will try and explain what off OPEC means
my bio first. I am an oil and gas engineer been in Nigeria
since 1981. I've worked on flow stations the construction of
flow stations and gas plants. John coolers our intelligence
network.
It's very cool. Yeah, I know for a fact that we do have to
realize that once in a while a ringer comes in messes with us.
Yeah. And but we eventually find him and throw him out.
I know for a fact we as Nigeria. We don't know how much oil is
produced from the wells I have worked on flow stations. These
are facilities that take the oil in quotes from wells and remove
the water and gas from the hydrocarbon fluids flowing from
the wells. From the flow station. We pump the separated
oil into pipelines. The volume of oil pumped into these
pipelines is very inaccurate. Usually there's more oil than
recorded being pumped that excess oil definitely go
somewhere. In a day we could produce 2 million barrels only
1.5 million is documented. There. Yeah, the remaining is
sold off to anyone willing to pay for it off OPEC is just
another name for oil bunkering, all these bunkers all these bunk
all this bunkering is carried out by appointed militants and
protected by the Nigerian named Navy armed forces. So the
President definitely gets a cut only in this country will the
head of the militias, and he says militants sorry, be given
the contract to supply the naval warships. Oh, there you go. So
they supply the naval warships and the same Navy is fighting
these militants in the delta of the country. You can Google the
name Tom Polo. He's the head of the militants. So the militants
are protecting the flow of off OPEC oil to the Navy and they
actually sell it to the Navy is what I think I'm understanding.
But it's what country, the central bank governor while back
announced to Nigeria that $20 billion was missing and not
remitted by the NNPC. That's what we talked about the
Nigerian petroleum cooperation. They covered it up and declared
only 1.5 billion was missing. Our finance minister said
nothing to see here. As she of course was formerly working at
the World Bank. There it is off OPEC oil 500,000 barrels a day
being disappeared. That's pretty outrageous.
That's ridiculous.
But so there's no count. We just had no. Do anything we do. Are
we are we known OPEC country?
I don't think so. Why not?
We produce food
producers. I think it's really a no,
it's only a Middle Eastern thing, isn't it? No, no.
Venezuela is an OPEC country I believe. That's take a look at
the book and OPEC wiki. Okay. All right. Here we go. Original
permanent international organization headquartered in
Vienna, established in Baghdad in September 10 in 1960, Wuhan
mandate to coordinate and unify the petroleum policies of its
members and to ensure the stabilization of oil markets.
Okay. Which is kind of what it is. Let's see if there's
enlisted the members
area Algeria. Oh, that's 2014 and went kicked out Algeria,
Angola, Ecuador, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar,
Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Venezuela. Okay.
Yeah, I think we're pretty much messin with all of those people,
aren't we?
Well, let's see Algeria not so much we let the French do that
this is that one goal necessary Ecuador for sure. Iran and Iraq
obviously Kuwait now I'm not too much there in our pocket.
Well, we did go up there and stand Libya. Yes. Libya. Yeah.
Nigeria. Yes, Qatar.
UAE not so much Venezuela? Totally. Absolutely. And if you
look at the list, look at the power that number look at the
population of care. They don't say production is to production
list. What is what's the big ones? The big one, the monster
is Saudi Arabia. Who's number two?
I think Iran would have to no no, no,
yeah, no, you're right. I don't know who's number one. No,
Russia is number one. They're not in no that's what we're
talking about the list on here that it starts at number two,
because that Saudi Arabia is somebody better than they are?
And number three is also missing from the list. And that's
another wiki page. And Iran Iran is fourth this they produce a
lot you know, people say well, they got all this oil. Why did
they want to build there was fishy that they want to build
the nuke nuclear power plants.
You can't have any type of industry without nuclear power,
medical reasons. A lot of reasons to have
well, there's a lot of reasons for that. But also, if oil is,
especially if it's floating around 75 to $100, and gonna go
to 200, they say or even at 40, you want to pump the oil and
sell it because then the overlooked aspect of this is
nuke power is so cheap, it's perfect. And it's and it doesn't
give you no co2. It's a great source of energy and there the
Iranians have made a specialty of it.
They haven't been indoctrinated by movies and books.
Yeah, by the bullcrap that we have, we're not dead yet. Why
would you? If this is like a cocaine dealer wasting his own
product on himself? Hmm. You want to sell it? You want to
sell the oil, you don't want to use the oil. Anyway,
since I just mentioned that I was on Thursday, and someone
said, Oh, if you don't get to the origin talking about the
don't talk about I just wanted to remind people just to the
surgeon sent this to me, here are the topics we discussed on
episode 709. And the contrary to this has been interesting debate
going on here and there on Twitter about us. It's mainly
because we make fun of the seed guy and the seed guy fans get
all
Oh, they're all upset before you continue. I have a complaint
myself. Because you mentioned the Reddit we have a bunch of
couple of Reddit pages. They're no good in them.
And that's way to go John.
It'll keep them busy.
It's not like they're no good.
I here's I go back. I don't have the printout of this. But I
could go back and forth. There's always an undertone that I don't
know. But there's an snide undertone. This guy's like this
guy mentioned who he is. He goes, Uri says, oh, and I can't
believe some of the things these two guys said by the way, we do
try to correct all our errors over time. But this was a
classic, classic classic. Oh, these two guys, I don't believe
that that neither one of them caught this. But citric acid.
They're talking about citric acid but citric acid is vitamin
C those it is citric acid is vitamin C. Citric acid is citric
acids used to be called Sour salt. Vitamin C is ascorbic acid
Boneheads. Oh, they had citric acid and they didn't even know
it was vitamin C when they were talking about it. We are so
stupid. Those two guys are stupid. They don't know that
citric acid is vitamin C. Yeah, I'm stuck. I know that.
So the things we do know about our Sorry, sorry. Okay.
Television and radio production, the mainstream we know. Now we
know other things. We that's why we can deconstruct things
and tell you how to make a 710 split.
Thank you. We are knowledgeable of professional bowling. We are
not is I know how to use biz properly at biz. So cleaning
products. We also know products are good. We know yes, we know
how to fly in aviation, got aviation, drive a car, drive a
car, you have many talents. But you are an Indian chemical
engineer. A firefighter was a chemist actually chemists. But
you're also a chemical fire fighter. Oh,
I can say I know how to do that. Just roll that hose out.
That guy sprays you from behind.
Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention something. I was
thinking about it afterwards. Besides the lewd aspects that
you imagine? When you wrote when you come out with a hose, you
actually have to have another guy holding the hose with you
behind you. Because the hose is so powerful. It's like a return
that if it was just you holding it, you just be flying around.
Yeah, I know the problem. I know you
hear the sectors we discussed, which of course we're not, we're
not experts in but just to give you an idea as a lot of people
like it. All they do is play clips. Okay, fine. Our sectors
discussed on episode 709 are chemical commercial facilities
communications, critical manufacturing, defense,
industrial base dams, emergency services, energy, financial
services, food and agriculture, government facilities, health
care and public health information technology, renew
CLIA reactors, materials and waste transportation systems,
water and wastewater systems. Hello. We cover the gamut. And
we throw in hookers and other things. We know what we're doing
here. Now, if we're wrong, we're happy to be corrected.
You know, there's a couple of things that we're not wrong
about necessarily, but we're always we're always kind of
surmising, we do a lot of that. And we speculate and we in ways
that no mainstream media can't do because of advertising,
right? That's really
the genius of our models we can and of course, when you when you
unfiltered, sometimes you say something that's wrong, or we're
also you're hearing us deconstruct and analyze in real
time, real time, real time. Yeah, it's real time and the
chatroom often helps out with that.
You monitor them now. I
I saw something on CNN, it was so unbelievable. That Well, of
course, it's not unbelievable because it's on CNN. But it was.
This is now this is a new news report. So expertly done, and it
falls into information we had previously we knew that North
Korea and Russia were going to have a power. This came direct
from my uncle Don. And what he said is he thought it might be
held in Helsinki as common ground. But it appears that Kim
Jong Hoon will be going to Moscow. And I've already sent a
note to Don I don't know if he's going. I think you recall he
said maybe like some people were interested. Even the State
Department was interested in asking him if he would do there
was a first time during the entire Obama administration that
they even cared about him. Then I sent him a note I said, I will
carry your suitcase by will do anything you want. Please would
love love to go along. I'm sure that's not going to happen. But
this report, this is how this is an outstanding example of how
popular culture and of course I'm referring to that's the
movie we've already forgotten. The interview was that it wasn't
the interview. Yeah, the interview and the interview. So
so this is now fiction becoming reality, but probably not
because it's bullcrap. And it is just hilarious. And of course,
it's real. It's real. It's real.
With tensions already high as the US and South Korea conduct
military drills, more saber rattling towards the west. Today
North Korea test firing for short range missiles traveling
at four miles before plunging into the sea of Pentagon
officials saying quote, We urge North Korea to refrain from
provocative actions that aggravate tensions and instead
focus on fulfilling its international obligations and
commitments. Meanwhile, the North Korean leader is setting
his sights on his personal indulgence. Kim Jong Hoon is now
re instituting so called pleasure squads. According to
chose son, Ill bow a pro North Korean newspaper a tradition
enjoyed by his father and his grandfather, employing a group
of young female companions handpicked based on good looks
and measurements to be at their disposal right by their side for
personal entertainment, whether by synchronized swimming, or
just a shower of affection.
Kim Jong Il died in December 2011. There is a mandatory
period of mourning. This guy
by the way is from the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea,
which I want to talk about in a minute was he
is he implying that Kim Jong Il died in the saddle?
It's edited that way to imply that and by the way, they show
stock footage of almost like Esther Williams era synchronized
swimming.
You know the thing that bothers me they show these B roll and my
favorite is every time they talk about North Korea, they have
these goose stepping Guy Yeah, a bunch of soldiers wandering
around.
But then they show that they show the pleasure squad, which
is a grainy photo of Kim Jong Hoon with I think three or four
sorry homely looking I presume North Korean women with helmets
on in fatigues in combat fatigue, not at all a pleasure
squad and just not not the right visual. But let's continue.
Kim Jong Il died in December 2011. There is a mandatory
period of mourning. So it is possible that the sun refrained
from these practices in observance of those compulsory
three years of mourning. Now that he's out of here yet, he
may be in the process of resuscitate in these Joy
brigades. Joburg, goon will take
his first trip outside the country as the leader. He's due
to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Russia. But
his pleasure squad Brianna will not travel with him.
Oh, what is the what is the use of having a pleasure squad if
they're not going to travel with you?
On a crock.
So the gods so this is a setup, because there's a guy who was
interviewed and who apparently is this helping to propagate.
This is from the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea.
Hotel Mike kilo.org hmk.org. I don't think we've ever seen this
outfit. And this one really scares me. Well, of course it's
okay. Yes, yes. There's some gambling going on there. It is a
nonprofit amr.org org, H R h r n k. O actually forwards H R n k.
And so, of course it's a it's a nonprofit. It is an NGO. Here's
the thing that is frightening. First of all, what we always do
if you go look at the board of directors. So we're gonna go in
and look at the board of directors we have a co chair so
this guy was the was the chairman I believe the
coach anything from HR M k.org.
Hr N. No November.
Oh like North Korea. Okay.
Let's see we have Fellow at the Brookings Institution we have
former administrator of us AI D. President defense forum
Foundation, we have a chief executive of Perth, US Asia
center, a couple of attorneys of the century foundation us Asia
Law Institute, then we have the Advisory Council just got to be
even better. We've got just a crapload of parliament members
from all over the world. And the thing that scares me about this
is when I looked at their form 990 as I as I like to do, how
much money do you think these guys raise for this little
drinking club of theirs? Well, it'll surprise you.
I would guess because of the nature of these guys being high
end diplomats and mass Members of Parliament it looks as if
they would have a lot of contacts and real they're really
draw in like millions.
Here's what's so crazy. $207,675 for 2013
Wow, that's just enough to buy the booze.
I think that's all that's all it's used for. I think it's only
for the booze
Yeah, cuz you can't have meetings you can fly people
around with that kind of money. This is to fly first class
that's only like a first class flight especially if it involves
the Korean area. That's like three four grand a pop. This is
only
this is all no one receives a dime. No one has a payroll. This
is already Kasparov.
Oh, no. The Russian hating Garry Kasparov.
It's all in there man. It's all in there. Wow. This
group is fantastic. Is a great did have a great meeting well
and
good drinks. Yeah.
So odd odd group.
But anyway, for them to now say that he has a pleasure squad,
please. Pleasure. So this was the thing the other day he said
it was? Did you write that down? He said something else that was
joy brigade. Joy. Joy bring you joy brigade. I don't know we're
trying to choose the pleasure squad or joy brigade. Joy
brigade. I'm really confused. Now. I need one of those.
And it also refers back to the loved one a very famous movie I
think came out in the late 60s. And the loved one which people
should watch again. is about
a put that on my list. The LOI?
It's a beautiful movie. It's fantastic. It's about it. A guy
who's going to runs a in a bombing mortuary or something
and he is just the sickest movie you've ever seen. It's
yeah, just watching this. Robert Morse. Yeah.
Jonathan winter.
McDowell. Rod Steiger. Oh, cool. Jonathan Winters. Oh, good. Oh,
this is a good recommendation.
Yeah. On a great film.
I'm gonna put that in right now. I got a copy from our from Agent
Orange actually intelligent source and in Afghanistan. The
copy of what is it? As a good kill the Ethan Hawk drone movie.
Oh, yeah. I've heard of I've never have not I don't think
it's out yet. Is it out? Oh, okay. Well, maybe
that's why I haven't seen well this is
this is what's so interesting. Let me see when if it's supposed
to come as a company out or not? Or is it already out? Let me
just check on the IMDB straight to tape.
That will really kill a movie, especially since nobody uses
tape anymore. I don't know if it's out or not. Yeah, billion
of them today. You're missing them all.
Yeah, no, I hear you. But what do you want me to? Yeah, no.
Sorry, whatever the case.
That's for you my first catch?
Yes. But you've said whatever the case 10 times already.
Whatever the case.
I get I get email, I get email. That's good.
I like a retroactive you throw retroactive at me. After I catch
you. Yeah, that's mature of you.
I never said I was mature. Okay, I'm a little confused on the
timing. One of the things that we track our cycles. And of
course, we have the infamous six week cycle, which is the the
genesis of that is our knowledge from one of our intelligence,
network analysts and resources, who said the FBI pretty much
needs to have something happen every six weeks in order to keep
the budgets going, etc. And to remain relevant. Now. I thought
that were we supposed to have a six week cycle on the first of
April or on the 15th I'm confusing then it seems like
someone popped the cork early on. Well, he's
crazy checks. We don't we've never reconfirmed fully the six
week cycle. We have to wait till past the 15th. I know what
you're gonna try. But I do have two clips. All right. About the
women. Yeah. Crazy women in New York who were planning to kill
us all. Yes. And we can start with let's see where do we have
New York terrorist ladies
this morning to New York City women accused of plotting a
terrorist attack are in federal custody. Court documents say
they were influenced by ISIS and the Boston Marathon bombings.
Investigators had been tracking the well valences and Asia
Siddiqui since 2013. To Rika Duncan is outside the home in
Jamaica, Queens, where the two women once lived together to
Rica. Good morning.
Good morning. The women are US citizens and until recently were
former roommates at this house behind me. Now according to
those court records, the women spent months researching how to
make bombs, discussing potential targets and even stockpile some
dangerous materials. The lenses and Siddiqui appeared in federal
court Thursday afternoon after an early morning raid of their
home. According to law enforcement officials, the women
expressed Violent jihadist beliefs and a desire to execute
a terrorist attack on American soil. According to court
documents, Valencia's told an undercover informant that she
did not understand why people were traveling overseas to wage
Jihad when there were more opportunities of pleasing Allah
here in the United States. The undercover informant says they
expressed interest and pressure cooker bombs, like the ones used
in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings. valences indicated her
preferred targets were cops or the military rather than
civilians. And December of last year, they considered attacking
the funeral of one of the two NYPD officers who had been
killed two weeks earlier in an ambush attack in Brooklyn. The
lenses called it quote, an attractive potential targets.
Siddiqui is attorney spoke after her quarter parents,
my client will enter a plea of not guilty if and when there's
an indictment. And she and I will address everything in the
courtroom where it belongs.
Yeah, so what we know is that this is one of those typical FBI
stings. He was not even a sting. It's not a standard says honey.
Worse than that. It's like bulk setup. It's a total total setup.
I have a I have a background are from the New York new local New
York media which I thought was kind of funny. Go ahead, you
want to play
we'll play the second part because there's actually a
kicker in here and I do want to talk a little bit about it.
There's the second part of the same report, the Imam
of the mosque in Queens attended by both women said they are
being falsely accused and describe the lenses and her
family as a positive force in the community.
They've been here five years not seeing any signs of them being
radicalized. Promoting radical Islam.
Core documents also claimed both women had copies of the
Anarchist Cookbook which explains how to make explosives
and authorities became concerned when the women obtained several
canisters of propane gas but police say there was no imminent
threat
no imminent threat propane gas which can be bought everywhere.
Yeah. is usually used for barbecue and
for outdoor heaters.
Yeah door heaters barbecues you can use for all kinds of things
and you wouldn't make a pressure cooker bomb with propane gas
it's impossible. The gases the propane gases I suppose it is a
big thing it's it's just
let's put it this way it to put your pressure cooker and your
propane tank in your backpack
is just a little complicated. Now the other thing is
they're heavy propane tanks are heavy when they're there earlier
quote
of I don't understand that here's it would be like this.
Let me dump it. I'll be talking to you on the phone. Of course
the FBI is after us. And I would say the five which is exactly
the coach he said more or less but it says it has the same
meaning. Well, hold
on. Hold on. Hold on a second. Hold on a second.
Hello, hello. Hey.
Hey, teacher. Yeah, hey,
hey, watching the news. Yeah, I'm just stunned that all these
idiot jihadist keep going over to the Middle East when there's
so many targets here in the United States if you're gonna go
do something for all I don't see why they just don't pick up you
know, pick a local is beyond me. Wow, this
is an interesting thought.
What should I do? You know, just something I was thinking about?
What should I do? I just don't get it. I don't understand what
he goes through all the trouble of going over to Siri or
wherever it is when you could just blow right here.
What do I need? What do I need? How
do I do do this I'm not talking about blowing stuff I'm talking
about the theory. I don't want you to blowing anything up. Are
you sure? Oh no, I'm good.
Allow me to play my report which I thought was very funny when
they talk to the log as local just just to give you an idea of
how crazy this is. So the local reporter went to the spoke with
the Imam and also tried to speak with one of the woman's husband
yesterday the two women were charged in Brooklyn federal
court with conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction a
federal complaint alleging they
do analysis recall a weapon of mass destruction can actually be
an aim at firecracker. Yeah, by the legal description. In the
same book that describes a US person as a company. We're
studying past
attacks that they acquired for propane tanks and materials such
as fertilizer and a pressure cooker. They allegedly reached
out to al Qaeda and
yeah, yeah Miracle Gro pressure cooker for I don't know cooking
video
of ISIS beheadings. Oh, they
watch the Abyss you watch the video of the ISIS beheadings,
that should be deemed illegal, just
fertilizer and a pressure cooker. They allegedly reached
out to al Qaeda and watch video of ISIS beheadings.
My observation of the family this is the amount for the last
five years has been impeccable when it comes to character. Do
you suppose the propane tanks you would have picnics? Right?
What do you have on your cook the meat and then you have one
thing to cook with for a cookout? Thanks, right. I think
this whole story is being blown up apportioned.
Today, the husband of Miss valences was among those praying
in the mosque. We tried repeatedly to ask him about the
case. A beautiful woman Gregory chi, can you tell us about the
charges? Can you tell us anything about the charge? I
believe what can you tell us about your wife? Was your wife a
caring person? Or was she a terrorist?
This is about to be the best question I've ever heard. What
is your what is your what was your wife a loving, caring
person or a terrorist?
Was she a terrorist?
Is that a yes or no?
Both women pleaded not guilty in federal court in Brooklyn
yesterday. Love it.
It was your life. Wait, can you not be a loving, caring person
and a terrorist is of these are mutually exclusive these
according to the federal complaint, they allegedly told
investigators that this was quote, a war and they were
studying the chemistry behind bomb making. So they could
quote, make history. If convicted. They could spend the
rest of their lives behind bars you
could spend the rest of your life in jail before not doing
anything. Just the intent.
There was no intent even while just coincidental bullcrap. Now
here's what they said there was no imminent threat. I mean, that
was a normal. This is just so here's what this here's what we
have to read the terrorists factory. Yes. But now this is
what this led to. Oh, good. I
haven't gotten that yet. This is what this led to. So what is
mentioned is the Anarchist Cookbook. And I've read this of
course, I've also I would also say I really enjoyed Abbie
Hoffman steal this book, which also has some bomb making
instructions in their great book. I read as a very young
man, but
Dianne Feinstein in today's world, he had been thrown in the
slammer. Yep.
Dianne Feinstein came out with a statement I had the full
statement here. Quote, The arrest of two women in New York
accused of plotting to carry out bombings reminds us that the
threat of terrorism inside the United States in Dewar's, we
must remain vigilant against these types of attacks, and
place a high priority on tracking and interdicting such
plots. I am particularly struck, that the alleged bombers made
use of online bomb making guides like the Anarchist Cookbook and
inspire magazine. These documents are not in my view,
protected by the First Amendment and should be removed from the
internet. Once this woman should be tarred and feathered and
dragged out of Congress,
oh, God,
how can you say these documents are not protected by the First
Amendment and even funnier should be removed from the
internet? Oh, yeah. Well, this
is the old book banning thing goes on.
How about burning? Forget banning so burning.
I'm in bed burning. I commend the FBI is virtual book burning.
I commend the FBI and the New York City Police Department for
their work in preventing this and other potential didn't
prevent any attack. And I'm pleased that Loretta Lynch, a
very distinguished attorney will be leading the prosecution now
Loretta Lynch. Oh, was Loretta Lynch. I
think you've got something to tell us. Yep.
Well, actually, we're doing this in real time, I have to say, but
this is the still unconfirmed Attorney General nominee, you
see. So I think this is going to cropped up
in the conversation before it had something to do with
Feinstein. And I can't remember what it is. Well, we can I can
get it.
Let me see. So this Feinstein statement is used to fold. One
to deem some written language as unlawful, not protected by the
First Amendment. Let's just review for a moment. Is there
any type of any type of writing that is not protected by the
First Amendment?
To Yeah, hello. As a constitutional lawyer, I
thought, yeah, it's Ryan's
right, the theater is on fire.
And if you put exclamation marks behind it
that's it. Of course, it's outrageous to give anything, of
course, is outrageous. What she's saying doesn't make sense.
She's a senator, by the way, right? Yeah, that's just
California should
be removed from long
Yes, Barbara boxer who you call bang, and Barbara
bang, and Barbara Barbara, and
then Feinstein who as I do have my story, which I'm sure I've
haven't told for years, and you tell it again. When I was an
inspector at the air pollution district, Feinstein and boss
were both members of the hearing board. And they were, you know,
one was the mayor and one of the other one was a local
politician. They weren't senators at the time. And
Feinstein was just an idiot. And so they had an example I told
the story you've heard you've heard it before, but most people
have already happened. We used to have a file area which was
also where the dispatchers work, which a couple of women who
would be in their dispatching to people we had radios, and the
file room was also in there and inspectors would come and
engineers would commonly wander in and grab files and then take
them and forget to bring them back and they were the sort of
file system was suck because these guys wouldn't check they
wouldn't check them out. Nobody knows knows where they were. So
it's just a mess. So and the door was always you know, the
door was they needed the door because it was a dark room. So
they had this door obviously they it was people wandering in
and out all the time. So the the women that worked there were
sick of this because it was somewhat their responsibility.
So they put a chain in front of the open door so you couldn't
really get in you had to unhook to change and make a lot of rack
and they wonder what you were doing. Feinstein's roaming
around for some unknown reason to just look around, I know what
she was doing. And she's She walks by and she sees the, the
chain across the door with the two women inside and she makes a
huge fuss. Oh, why are these women chained into this room so
they can move or get out. And she makes a big fuss and they
have to take the chain out. So the end result was they had to
close and lock the door to keep these inspectors from coming in
and out. So now the girls were stuck inside with a locked door
and her head is gone. Thank you very much, Diane. That's the
kind of idiot she was. She never bothered asking the women who
had the chain was there. She just assumed it was to lock them
in because men are bad.
I don't mind if she's an idiot. I do mind being a United States
senator is trying to put things under a non protective state
under the First Amendment that that's wrong. No, she
is she's, she's an idiot. Okay. So while we were listening to
that as my story item
today, it's a good story. I have an update on the Boston bombing
to route so this case is ongoing. Of course no cameras
are allowed in the in the court. So we had those silly drawings
which reminds me of laws cases going back to the wild west
days. I don't know it's crazy. We can't have that but okay. The
this is no longer about guilty or innocent. This is about life
sentence or death. The death penalty that is what the crnf
kids lawyer is all about. She's not trying to get him exonerated
at all. But what we all been waiting for is the video the
video that shows the turneffe Brother putting his backpack
with said pressure cooker bomb a pressure cooker bomb into the
trash can just before blew up and then walking away. Even the
Massachusetts governor said there was this the whole case is
built on this we have this evidence, but it doesn't
actually appear to exist. He never saw it and there's no
video being presented at the trial. However, we're doing our
best to indoctrinate everybody with this CNN Headline New
Boston Bombing video released. Well, this must be it.
The case against Joe Horace or Nya, the story you've heard the
evidence you've never seen before. You're
ready. There's gonna be a
certain I am running from the blast site. minutes later
shopping for milk at a Whole Foods grocery store in
Cambridge.
Okay, hold on a second there timeline. So firstly, he's
running away. Yeah, like everyone else around him was
running away. And then minutes later he shopping in Cambridge.
minutes later just
minutes. A nice plug for Whole Foods boy
yeah oh, you know we have to say to that
I'm shocked shocked to find out that native advertising is going
on here.
The bloodstained message meant to explain it all.
Ominous Music.
On Monday, a surveillance camera near a bar catches Tamra Lynn
and Jehan walking down Boylston Street, they're carrying
backpacks with the pressure cooker bombs.
By the way. I look at this, this I actually couldn't get a freeze
frame. That backpack is pretty flat to be containing a pressure
cooker. If you really look at it, it just doesn't seem like it
could be in there.
It could be dehydrated. Yes, it's a miniature
inside, they split up Tamron heads toward the finish line,
Jehovah takes his place in front of the foreign restaurant, there
is a phone call between the brothers.
So not. So now. This is fantastic how this is
constructed. So they show him on the phone. And they show his
other brother on the phone. And now they're saying there's a
phone call between the two. I don't think that has actually
been corroborated or proven anywhere. That but maybe they
have cell phone record evidence. But this was the cutting it
together like a drama piece. And if you're
putting this package together, you would have said that the two
according to cell phone record, that's what I that's what I
would throw those words in if you had that evidence.
The first explosion inside marathon sports shattered glass.
This is the new video essentially, I said essentially
what they're saying is new is what you've already seen is
inside that sporting goods store, which is the closed
caption cameras shell
shocked victims outside video never seen before of before the
helplessness and the hearing.
Oh, that's what the new video is. So they show some bleeding
people.
The further down Boylston Street in front of the four restaurants
there's confusion heads turned toward the finish line, Jehovah
gives a backward glance and leaves his backpack behind
now, what she just said here, you don't actually see it. You
just don't see him putting the backpack down. You don't see it.
But this is, man, it's like so coordinated. It's hard to
believe that that certainly CNN is coordinating with
prosecutors, but it can't be any other way.
This was neither coordinated. They just asked to that. Now do
you have to be coordinated, you're already in all in with
the government. And so they tell you stuff and you ended this
hope that you report it. Like a parrot, like a secretary like
it's such an aquifer and you just have to do that.
But from from a journalistic standpoint, John, when
everyone's been waiting for this video, this video doesn't
appear. And then we're gonna go and make new video and say this
is new video, which doesn't prove the thing that the video
was supposed to prove in the first part. I mean, come on.
Where's the New York Times on this? where's the where's the
real journalist saying Hold on a second. This is out of order.
It's not they're just making new dramatic pieces. It's
just to get viewers to watch the show so they can show some
advertisements. Mentioned Whole Foods. That's a good one. Yeah.
And that's that is really trying to prove anything. Or at least
the easiest way to do you take what the press release says
earlier this at least take on the role that matches this.
Yeah, we got B roll. Oh, there's a new video. Let's put that in.
And as soon as you advertise it as a new video, it's a new
video. It's not a new video. It's a video just a video.
I saw the Monica Lewinsky TED Talk, which has now been
what Monica Lewinsky gave it as a TED or TEDx. Oh, Ted.
And she did 25 minutes. I mean, come on. isn't limited to 15
minutes. Is that is that the actual I believe
that is the number I need to know for sure. Why you can send
a nasty note. No, I
just want to know time. Yes. Yes. You cut off people. That'd
be 18 minutes and she gets to do 25
That's no good. That's way too long. The
TED Talk Time Limits. They just want to see if there's what the
actual 80 minutes right 18 minutes
they should have. Maybe they change the rules for her. Now
I'm going
to take her side for a bit on this. Now we we heard her at the
30 under 30 Forbes thing where she She already said some of
this and she calls herself patient zero which I think
you'll hear in this in this case lip.
Is there any setup any reason we were listening to this or
somebody can tell us? Yeah, remember the for Forbes thing?
Well, it's this is kind of a reiteration. But this leads into
cyber bullying, which is her platform and what she's going to
be doing. Right. Right. Right. But I want to say that I feel
for her and I thought her her talk, although too long, was
reasonably compelling. Not bad. She's not a bad speaker. She
admits she needs to help for sure. But she's, we could we
could fix her. Let's put it that way. And they're supposed to
have coaches at TED that make people that's why all these
speeches sound the same. They have the same cadence. I hate
these speeches. By the
way, she's not very good at delivering punch line. She had a
couple of them, but they actually had to cut them out of
the clicks. It just took too long fell flat. But yeah, I
know, I felt some empathy for her, which is what she what she
wants. Also, she looks kind of hotshot until you just just to
completely turn myself into a television producer. She looked
good. She had the right outfit on with the the flaring shirt,
because she's She must be 510 or 511. She had the pants that
flare at the bottom. So fashion wise, fantastic. The hair is
good. She has big doe eyes. Look, really I can see what Bill
Clinton saw, by the way. But here is that actually I'd seen
her say didn't see everything that Bill Clinton saw
that reverberated around the world
is a little dramatic, but it's the clique that reverberated
around the world and started this horrible cyber bullying.
What that meant for me personally, was that overnight,
I went from being a completely private figure to a publicly
humiliated one worldwide. I was patient zero, of losing a
personal reputation on a global scale, almost instantaneously.
I don't think she can make that claim, but I understand why
she's doing it. And it does give pause in some reason for thought
this rush
to judgment enabled by technology led to mobs of
virtual stone throwers. Granted, it was before social media that
people could still comment online, email stories, and of
course, email cruel jokes.
The mean,
news sources, plastered photos of me all over to sell
newspapers, banner ads online, and to keep people tuned to the
TV
leashes got that part? Right. I'm shocked, shocked at the
attention
and judgment that I received not the story, but that I personally
received was unprecedented. I was branded as a tramp, tart or
slept, whore, bimbo. And of course, that woman, I've
been named everything except that woman, every single thing
but not that woman. I
was seen by many, but actually known by few. And I get it. It
was easy to forget that that woman was dimensional, had a
soul and was once unbroken. When this happened to me 17 years
ago, there was no name for it. Now we call it cyber bullying
and online harassment. Yes,
there it is cyberbullying and online harassment. This is part
of a larger campaign, which I feel bad for her. It sucks. It
sucked. He said, whatever it is somebody somebody sucked. Hey, I
feel bad. But as they celebrate it in for most of my life.
Yeah, actually,
right in the Netherlands, where you are a page, I am branded a
loser of worse. I'm Brandon Wright. And
well it's not great for you. But it's very funny because you
know, you're actually known probably especially to do our
producers known as a personality of sorts, you know, who gets mad
about things he's got Tourette's and as a normal guy, for all
practical purposes for the time it's like you know, we know
Adam, but then the Netherlands crowd is like wow, and they're
fascinated by you to such an extreme you go oh my god, this
sucks. This is terrible.
Yeah, they say horrible horrible things worse than being a loser
that you are the but I'm branded as a podcaster couldn't get any
worse. is another good was just so low on the poll. Yeah, and
sometimes I think I actually am that woman according to that.
Woman and
you know it can get it can get you can irk you but I've learned
throughout the years, whatever. It does go away but you know,
people remember things and they don't they make judgments and
they make judgments. And it is the car Mmm enters, particularly
the Netherlands and we discussed this on the previous show. It
gives people a feeling of power, the feeling of power to say
something about someone else who everybody knows, and they don't
even know what vitamin C.
Let's listen to the cyber bullying wrap up.
So as far as our culture of humiliation goes, what we need
is a cultural revolution. public shaming as a Bloodsport has to
stop now. It's time for an intervention on the internet and
in our culture. Good luck. The shift begins with something
simple, but it's not easy. We need to return to a long held
value of compassion, compassion and empathy. Really online,
we've got a compassion deficit, an empathy crisis,
and IBS. But Lee, but here's the thing. Tell
this to the war machine.
There's that. And sure, I'm sure that human beings all human
beings are ultimately cans want to be like Stevie Wonder's love
and everything. But most people are firmly grounded in this low
vibrational dimension we live in and there Hey, holes, everybody,
me to mark Wagner. You're just as you're just as guilty. Yeah,
and that's why we're saying we're so so disappointed in
ourselves that we project anything on anybody? And wow,
does that work? Well, online? And of course, it's funny. So we
like it. We like
you. It has humor. It has humor. I'm reading The
this is like the
comment, you know, why don't you buy a Mac? Yeah, you know, it's
just like, Okay.
When I'm struggling, and we're streaming live, and if
something's not working, and people say, jiggle the handle
it's funny. This funny, but it doesn't make me feel very good
at that moment. But that very moment. I'm really really upset.
That's a great line.
The first 10 times yeah, it's a great

I got something that's kind of interesting. Okay. You might not

there must be celebrity related
as close but here I've never really gotten up early enough to
watch the absolute beginning of the CBS Morning Show. Okay. And
so I so they have like they start with this it's all you
really have to watch this is.
This is Charlie and Nora will nail and Gail the Oprah's
girlfriend's beard. Yeah. No, no. Yes. I mean, camping buddy.
Camping buddy. So the show starts off with with this this
is when they when you first start the show. They have a
bunch of music and they play this which is the CBS Morning
Show. And what what time is this six o'clock because it's 6am
like that I was up for some unknown reason. I said, Oh, let
me go get let me see if there's any clips. So I got this is that
you gotta find my CBS Morning Show opener one.
Good morning to our viewers in the west. It is Friday, April
3 2015. Welcome to CBS This Morning. And Obama hammered by
Israel and Congress after reaching a historic nuclear deal
with Iran. Even Democrats say they need to know more
lost at sea for 66 days. The sailor tells us how he survived
only on CBS this morning that Michigan man who sold his
company then gave millions to his worker
but we begin this morning with a look at today's Eye Opener your
world in 90 seconds. Okay.
All right. This is it. Now this is the part of this is why I
wanted to discuss okay, I know maybe I'm a stickler on some
things oh, by the way cotton shows up in this too. Oh good. A
sticker. But this is your morning is the physical the
weekly or the daily pot shot or some crap. It's 90 seconds. But
your world in 90 seconds your world in 90 seconds. Okay, so
we're gonna play it. You're gonna hear this summarizes
everything going on. As you need to know you could actually turn
the show off at this point. Unless you want more dt 90
seconds. Yes, not exactly. Yeah. 90. That is what they're telling
you. 90 seconds. You said you said it yourself. You and
do they have a little clock counting down the 90 seconds?
No.
You'll see that you can figure it out the 90 seconds on your
own computer by recording this hit it.
It is a good deal. A deal that meets our core objectives,
a framework nuclear deal struck with Iran.
The terms are not as bad as I had feared. They're much worse
before. I'd say it's a bad deal. I'd say it's not really a deal
yet.
In New York City to women allegedly trying to make a bomb
like the one use of the Boston Marathon tell the judge they are
not guilty.
The worst terror attack in Kenya in nearly two decades. Somalia
bass group al Shabaab says it's behind the severe weather threat

Surveillance video fam that car crashing right in police chasing

that matters.
Indiana changes its religious freedom law
example. They're lifting the ban on live tweeting the Tonys are
supposed
to embarrassing thing to come out of Indiana since I came out
of Indiana
on CBS This Morning. For this moment,
Nicki Minaj posted a video of a Crying Boy Who calmed down once
he placed his head on her chest
to witness the moment someone goes through puberty.
This morning's eye opener is presented by Toyota.
Okay. Well, I can see why you're irked. Oh yeah, that was 111
seconds. Yeah, yeah, this is this is completely out of order.
Like
shocked to find that celebrity worship is going on around this
is lies
and celebrity worship
live 90 seconds. My ass
took 111 seconds to make that point. Yeah,
yeah. Well, now the only thing that was good, I have to admit,
was the kid and Nicki Minaj. Did you see this? No, of course not.
It's okay. The kid is crying with some thing. And she's with
him on her boobs, shirt. No, he's just crying and she just
gives him a hug. And then it pretty much puts his head right
between her boobs. And then they show a close up of this and the
kid is like raising his eyebrows and winking eye smiling.
Great, it's quite funny.
Well, now that you've broached the topic of what we consider
real news.
And now back to
the great promotional campaign has been underway for a week
now. For the the successor to the Jon Stewart. Daily Show.
Talking about this, yeah, well,
there was there was just a funny segment with Don anything with
Don Lemon. Because this what is happening, if you don't know,
I'm sure everyone has seen this at some point. This kid is from
South Africa, Trevor Noah, and he's been making racial jokes
about blacks and about Jews and about women. And of course, I
think even did he make any jokes about LGBTQ IAP?
Well, I'm funny, you should bring it up. He if anybody wants
to look him up on the on YouTube. What's his name is
Trevor Noah. Sure, everyone. He's extremely funny. His timing
is absolutely top drawer. He's very observant. He if you do
when you want to find that clip you want to find is is it
Zambia, it's Trevor Noah that talks about Zambia. I think it's
Zambia or what's the, what's the other one that starts with a Z?
Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe.
That's what it is. Trevor Noah talks about Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe.
That is turning points for Adam curry in Austin, Texas. Very
funny,
and a large, gay routine in it, which is also extremely funny.
But I could see where someone would be offended by it.
Let us listen to someone who's offended by it. And I just
thought this was interesting. The Cultural Marxism but of
course, again, it's all promotion. It's complete. 100%
promotion. Congratulations. Slow clap for Comedy Central. Good
job. This will keep going and then there's Don Lemon. Who is
gay and black perfect guy to host this of course. And he has
Annika Katya has on. He had us. A I think it was it might have
been octabox I think he had eight people on God. Yeah. rd
land. Dr. bod. Yeah. Artie Lange, J. Thomas. You know all,
Artie Lange is pretty funny. And Jay Thomas. I don't doesn't mean
you laugh. But he's, he's been around a long time. He's
professional didn't get it. He says interesting things. But
what is happening here, this, this, this, this two segments.
One is this woman Wendy Todd, who has a fantastic title, which
I think Well, Don Lemon introduces her in this just I
want this title. And she is of course offended. Because how can
you have a black man who is actually from Africa, making
jokes about African Americans. It's unheard of. This is not
furthering the conversation in this country.
And Wendy Todd, a culture and race blogger.
There you go. I want to be in when I grow up, John, I want to
be a culture and race blogger.
How do you and Wendy Todd, a culture and race blogger who
wrote a piece in The Washington Post about credit
cards,
culture and race blogger is great. I love I love it's
fantastic Wendy
Todd, culture and race blogger who wrote a piece in The
Washington Post about Trevor Noah and Artie Lange and John
Hugo saying, join me they're back with me. Hey, Wendy, this
is what you say. You wrote this in the Washington Post. He said
no, it might look like an enlightened choice but his
routine show he isn't his jokes often hinge on insulting African
Americans. Well, you can keep him I'd like a conscious person
of color to the wheel. Not someone who's already driven me
off a racist clip
a conscious person of color what has this country become
kids horrible and I want to say again it this guy is extremely
funny and stuff about Africa. He does voices so he does every
Africa great the difference little differences between a
Ghana and a Nigerian and a South African and the Zimbabwe in its
it even though most people don't know it with any of the stuff.
The guy is very Are you funny,
but the bottom line is that this is a great promotional campaign
really, really good. I'm going to say Wendy Todd is being paid
and just gonna come out and say it is being paid to stir up the
controversy and pay people like that.
Fine. How did this get in the Washington Post? All of a
sudden, she's a blogger and now she's she's published in The
Washington Post. What is she? Is she an op ed writer or Blogger
or culture and race blogger come on down this night?
She probably got paid for the Op Ed. But I don't think she was
paid to spell maybe. It's I've never ever happened. Yeah. If
you don't like why, or have somebody decent, I mean, it's
somebody we know. She's
furthering the conversation, this
clip at the wheel, I should probably say, you're worried
that he'll continue to perpetuate negative stereotypes
why?
I just think that, first of all, you're coming to this country
and you're making fun of their residents. I don't understand
that.
You come in this country making fun of the residents go really
black or white or watch black to black
and you're contributing to stereotypes that are
perpetuating a construct that's already devaluing black people
here. We're getting shot in the street because people do not
feel that we're
because of jokes. We're getting shot we I guess she means black
people in America are getting shot because of joke value
and to make jokes, jokes, tribute and perpetuate the ideal
thrill at a dinner party.
I'm telling you this is all part of the same Feinstein crap,
John, we're gonna there's going to be rules on what kind of
jokes you can make on the internet. You can just wait for
the
setting. It's upsetting. It's irresponsible.
Why can't comedians of color have the same freedom as other
comedians to practice their craft?
They do. In fact, comedians of color, the so called Cox, they
have, they have more than license, they could make these
jokes that white comedians the walks and touch the cows, we
have the Cox and the cows, if they cannot even go near that
they have an extra burden you feel medias,
I don't think it's about them practicing their craft. I think
it's also about intention is your intention to move a
conversation forward if you're exploring something as
controversial as race but if your intention is just to get a
job then who pays for that? And I feel like African Americans
have paid enough not to have someone come here and make fun
of us.
Okay, so she ever
been to one of these comedy jams with the blind guys
well, now we have the crap now we have Jay Thomas the he is
going to upset her a little bit straight but his message I found
to be interesting his messages. The if you want entertainment,
don't go to the internet. You've got to get it from your
officially paid mainstream media sources from television and from
HBO. You can't get it from the internet bad bad bad.
Twitter is like Botox with an expressive face. It just takes
away all expression. And and then the the Twitter terrorists
who are these people that are just Twitter terrorists,
basically shut ins, and they get a chance to attack and bring
people down and they've been, you know, kind of successful in
this. I really am proud
of that. I thought that was interesting, wasn't it? I think
he's been taken down and he's mad about something. You know
how to
block a proud of the fact that Comedy Central has backed him
up. And the Jon Stewart is is backing him up to because it'd
be wonderful to see someone not get get fired for something on
Twitter. If you release with Martha Stewart said last night
on the Bieber roast. If you release that on Twitter, her
stock would have been cut in half. She would have been
reduced she made from homophobia, black people, people
in prison in jail. I mean, she just went on and on. It was
spectacular. But it was on TV. It wasn't on Twitter,
TV and not on Twitter. Now you're talking J That thing
is evil. That Twitter thing. That thing is horrible. Going
back to Jon Stewart, you know Jon Stewart also backs him. And
from one of his greatest bets, you know, which was the faith
off? I think we must just ride the Red Sea log flume with him
because he thinks this kid is great. Okay, so let's let's go
with him.
I think he's very clear, mainstream or nothing. That's
how it goes. Mainstream or nothing.
But he gets all his money from mainstream so what else would he
say? He's not a blogger.
Abul we'll see how this pans out. But obviously it's going to
be great for ratings. He's controversial.
Yeah, I don't know if this guy could do that show. I've watched
enough of his acts that I don't know really outstanding. Stand
up but he's I don't see, you know, sitting behind it. I would
actually Say you or I or both of us will be better than a
comedian doing that show. Yeah, I
mean, Jon Stewart was never a stand. I'm not No, no, no,
no. I have something this is a I think this will be welcomed by
the people who listened in on our conversation twice weekly. I
dug up an ABC video from 1977 1978. And this will take us
to the climate gate to the gate to the gate of the black and
white video will be under video and clips from the show notes.
And of course, this audio which I've chopped down significantly,
just to prove the point it will be available as a download. This
is about the climate, and how ABC News talked about it in
1977.
like ours last only 10,000 years, but ours has already
lasted 12,000. So if the rhythm is right, we are over ready for
a return of the ice. Experts like Reed Bryson, the head of
the biggest Meteorological Department in the world in
Wisconsin, believe that since 1945, that has been in progress,
we're returning to an ice age. They base this on ever cooler
temperature readings in the Great Plains on land, and the
North Atlantic at sea. And on the headlong retreat of the heat
loving Armadillo from Nebraska, to the southwest, and to Mexico
and on many more sophisticated sides. The argument that we face
some long cold years is pretty convincing. Don't pack your
things and investigate real estate prices in the tropics
yet, but there's a theory advanced by climatologist that
the last two years of battering by winter means that an ice age
is returning to the earth as glaciers down to the Mason Dixon
Line and freezing temperatures south of that non expert that I
am I tend to lean towards the ice ages for the evidence
produced by Professor Reed Bryson of the University of
Wisconsin, our leading scholar. Among other items, he cites the
rhythm of 100,000 years of Ice Age interrupted briefly by a
mere 10,000 years of warmth. And our 10,000 years of warmth has
now passed.
There you go. That is something that you might want to show your
friends. Nice. Yeah,
I'm shocked shocked to find that climate data is being
manipulated around Yeah.
Who is that again?
That is Isaac Piggott.
He's good. He's very good. Well, we got a couple of things here.
I got a douche bag report. Oh, calling out Hershey. There's a
big guys. Controversy. over some little store in Greenwich
Village selling Cadbury's that they've imported from England.
When Hershey's has bought all the rights to Cadbury's in the
United States, and they've manufactured themselves. And I'm
reminded of a story from years ago and has been my last story
when Lo and brow, which was a decent German beer. And I think
they bought him luck. I think it was Miller or I think Miller or
Anheuser Busch, I think was Miller bought them lock stock
and barrel and decided to make law because law and Brown was a
big seller, apparently from after World War Two until when
they were they got bought and as an imported beer. And so, it was
again Anheuser Busch or Miller bought them and then it was and
it was Anheuser Busch, okay. Anheuser Busch bought them,
Okay, was it going to be like in the little more expensive than
Michelob? And the Germans sent over there Brewmasters to say,
Well, okay, since you bought the brand, here's the guys that know
how to make it. You know, so you can make it exactly the same
way. And the Anheuser Busch guy said, we're not interested, we
know how to make beer.
In fact, they just gave the name back loan loan bro they gave
because never they started not selling because anybody in their
right mind would say why. Why am I paying an extra buck for what
amounts to a bottle of bud? Yeah. Well, anyway, so now we
have Cadbury's selling to Hershey's. And I think Hershey's
makes them to be honest, in my opinion, and I'm singing to say
that you don't even have to, it's all European. My opinion.
They make a mediocre product. But let's play this Hershey clip
where he talks about the battle between Cadbury's and we find
out a few interesting things here in this report, which was
on the news, our
Hershey, Pennsylvania. The recipes are nearly identical
wrote Jim St. John is Hershey's master chocolate tear,
the milk, sugar and chocolate. Were all cooked together in the
in the British Isles. So we're buying their stuff. It's their
specification. It's what the Cadbury family first brought
over here to the States but
on the package it says milk first on the English, Cadbury
and sugar first on the American cast.
That's true. And that's because the rules around labeling are
different in England and they are in the United States, they
count all the milk including the water that was in the milk in
the United States. We can't count the water.
But there is one crucial difference and why Hershey's had
to change the recipe to comply with US federal regulations.
What they
sell in England can't be sold in United States can be called milk
chocolate because they add fats other than cocoa butter because
they're using palm and Shea oils. We're only using cocoa
butter,
soy, palm oil, shea oil, that's not part of what's considered
chocolate in the United States according to FDA, right? So if
that is not a chocolate in the United States, so those
remembrances of warm feelings passed are triggered by POM and
Shea oils. Well, even so, why not let the little store in
Greenwich Village sell the original Cadbury chocolate
what's the big deal to Hershey?
My intention is not to go after the smaller shops who is going
after
the shop Hershey's they're going after the shop for sell it for
gray market CAD gotcha
but when we started seeing this formula in the mass retailers
that's when we got concerned because it's a slippery slope.
It's a the Brits it's not just about Cadbury, Hershey's has
successfully blocked other British brands like toffee
crisp, made by Nestle in the UK because its wrapper says
Hershey's looks like they're Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. No
England's Yorkie bar can no longer be imported because its
name sounds like Hershey's York Peppermint Patty sensation so
now here is a Yorkie bar from England and you all won't allow
this because the name is too similar to a York Peppermint
Patty
we own the name York New York Peppermint Patty started out in
York Pennsylvania if
you get a long clip
it's almost over
York share you know War of the Roses the grand old Duke of York
key had 10,000 Men
that's where you're supposed to end
Yeah. Should I bother? No, no no.
Anyway But but the point to be made is that the this Yorkie bar
whatever it is, what does the looks like nothing like a York
Peppermint Patty is a big bar. And these guys I just pointed
this out. This is my douche bag Clip of the Day. Hershey's has
already see a bunch of douche bags I should mention that
Cadbury is not much better they've been bought and sold and
bought and sold and the idea that they buy but look, you can
look at Cadbury on the Wikipedia and they one time somebody they
sold to somebody and the next thing you know they added they
took out the cocoa butter and added the palm oil so they've
cheapen the product even in England. And which reminds me of
the peanut butter you get the United States where they extract
the peanut oil, which is worth more than the peanut butter. And
then they put in some cheapos look at your peanut butter thing
and we'll say it won't have any peanut oil. It's got some sort
of soybean oil or canola oil mixed in with the peanuts
almond butter.
My favorite ever they can and I was like,
Okay, are you angry about this? Or?
I think it's douchey. Okay, well
we'll do a douche bag, douche
bag. Amen.
That's all I wanted to do.
On my phone, the way I see it the only good phones a landline
and the phone should be made out of Bakelite.
Alright, tech news, everybody. It's Sunday. That means it's
time for tech news. I almost second someone just bought
something with my Apple ID. Now Surely this must be a scam.
Second, yes. scam. Wow, that's a good one. It's good fishing.
What they do? How'd you get it as an email? Yep.
Hello, Apple ID Adam mccurry.com, which is I think
incorrect, was just used to purchase equal responsibility by
climbers from the iTunes Store. The purchase was initiated from
Mexico. Yeah, okay, fine. I'm gonna fall for that one. Tech
News. And I need to remind you of some tech news that you want
to talk about. But why don't you tell us about your Gmail? Oh, I
wrote it down. I wrote it down to do this.
I was gonna add what I was gonna do, and I'll do it is that I was
going to complain because you know, Gmail, we have a lot of
problem getting our newsletter through which is people
literally subscribe to it. And they want it and they try to you
know, why listed and do all this sort of thing to get the
newsletter so it's, you know, so they can read it if they want
to, or not read it if they want to not because Google says they
should or not to Google's got all these filters I want to read
I don't use Gmail that much so I don't get the clear out my box
so I get the notice the stuff that builds up well, you can't
get the newsletter you'll get. I'm going to just read a few of
the emails I've got on my Gmail account. Neiman Marcus sent me a
Gmail letter up to 75% off evening dash now I've got
something here written in Russian I don't know what it
says but it's from somebody okay. It could might even not be
Russian some language I don't recognize. Neiman Marcus again,
new arrival see what's just in. John arrow says enlisting ealert
for homes for sale, some nine to one to seven area. I don't know
I ever signed up for that. Why am I getting it?
Oh, you think that these are being put in now?
I know. I think what Google does, is they you know, I we're
not paying to get delivered. We're not you know, this is a
corrupt system that these guys operate. I have so much spam in
the Google box. And it's my don't get spam in my normal box.
The Google box I get nothing but spam. did tell me this isn't
spam St. Louis outlet mall. Sears outlet inventory reduction
sale. I didn't sign up for this. Toys R Us. And then it's in
Hebrew. I didn't sign up for a Hebrew. And it goes on and on.
Because I was really trapping spam. Well, I did sign up for
the no agenda newsletter and I don't get it.
And even if you whitelist it, put it in your address book and
move it over it still doesn't want to
do I've talked I've sent his note a lot of people say oh,
it's not a problem and never had a problem. Most people have a
problem. If they use Gmail to get what they want to get
instead they get your healthcare.gov appointment
important notification final month a special enrollment
period. And not don't care. Neiman Marcus again, boy,
they're really doing it Hurry up to 65% off during real deal
sale. Christie Bunnell vote now for bring back my bar.
I will say President Barack Obama and look I have a Gmail
account, of course, although I don't use it except to receive
clips from you when they're too large. A president Barack
Obama's email preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon
went to the promotions tab, which of course it isn't
promotion. So that makes sense, I guess. Is it promoted as a
promotion? is a total promotion? It is. Well, they're doing a
good job. I don't know John, you know, get off Gmail.
Don't use it have to use it to send you the clips.
And of course, this is yeah, people. That's why you got to
remember now, because you got low open rate on the then I went
to went to promotion and spam because Gmail saw it that way.
We'll get Yeah,
yes. Because there was one too many links. I
believe that's why it's this way. Do you know we're doomed?
No, we are doomed. Doomed.
All right. However, there's a way it's more of a pet peeve.
But there's a way out, we can make some money by figuring out
how we can make some money finally, Tesla did an April
Fool's joke ha ha ha boy, do I despise April Fool's jokes,
especially from the media, but this was from Tesla. And they
announced a new product line called model W which would the
joke was worse than an April Fool's joke has one that's not
funny. And the headline was announcing the Tesla Model w.
And they talked about this watch line they're going to release
that tells the time it gives you the date. And you know, you
don't need to recharge it very funny. But here's what happened.
Because this came out as a press release. Most trading systems
today on in Wall Street and around the world have all kinds
of quasi quasi artificial intelligence to look at certain
words and then start making trades ahead of as fast as
possible in milliseconds. So when this came out, the headline
was announcing the Tesla Model w the stock jumped a buck 50 went
up as high as 188 and a half dollars 400,000 shares traded in
in a couple minutes. That's one of the one of the quickest
heaviest the volumes of trading for this stock since it started
trading. And but then, of course, it immediately retracted
and dropped down below the price that it opened at. To this is
very interesting is you can if you're fast enough and you know
what you're doing and I Andrew Horowitz is listening right now,
if you can get the right type of headline out there, and you can
make it go viral. And I think there's headlines that can go
viral by themselves. And we could actually set up a little
consortium of people with 50 or 60,000 Real Twitter followers. I
bet we could move stock based upon the so called artifact Show
intelligence and trade it both ways on the way up and on the
way down when people think
illegal pump and dump scheme by the way, oh.
So this was not this was not a scheme. This was just a joke and
we're very sure of that.
Well, no, no. But they got the excuse. Oh, yeah, you get that
you could probably act innocent. But if you're actually setting
up shop to do these things, now it's illegal. And they will
eventually catch up with you. Damn, although the Wolf of Wall
Street was a pump and dump operation if you saw that movie,
and if you ever seen this guy, he's he got off scot free. The
whole thing was just like it was. I mean, me Well,
hello. No one was ever. It was the jail, put in there by our
current director of FBI, James Comey. James Tiberius Comey,
forget
about them.
That's it. No, that's, uh, well, I have a couple other things.
Okay,
I want to read we gotta make tech news a segment we do the
Electronic Frontier
Foundation, not my favorite organization, but they do bring
up something very interesting that it is illegal for you to
tamper with reverse engineer or do anything to your automobiles,
system. And they will take you to court. And this of course, is
yes, this is based on this good past. Well, this is based on the
DMCA and now the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and
they are
allowed to sell the computers for these cars. Commonly, I
thought you can take your computer out and put in another
one that's been Modded.
I will give you well. Here it is. You should not be allowed to
modify the code in your car because you might defraud a used
car purchaser by changing the mileage. You should not even be
allowed to look at the code without the manufacturer's
permission. Because this could allow and check this. of the
public to learn how cars work could help malicious hackers.
Hack the car.
Yeah, bullcrap.
John Deere, the tractor company. Yeah, argue that letting people
modify car computer systems were will result in them pirating
music through the onboard entertainment system. Now bull,
but they're claiming the DMCA protects them for this. Worth
noting?
Yeah, because for in 2011, Ford and bug Labs announced that
they're creating a platform that will encourage users to modify
computers in the automakers future cars really, I mean, the
reason you want to do this is because you can set up curves of
acceleration curves, shifting curves, you know, this car is
like a Lexus, for example is known to be you can add 50
horsepower to the car by changing the computer,
right? But that's by putting in a different chip or one of those
booster chips or something.
Well, you can't do it without deconstructing the old chip. You
don't know why.
Well, it's it's for Bowden. Well, this
is bull crap.
Now that's why it's tech news. At least it's not about a phone.
Then I have four
by the way, a new phone was released.
It really did have a curved screen. I don't know. It's just
came up. Oh, wow. In the shownotes, an entire list of
known easter eggs for the Amazon Echo. Which is you can you like
Florida. I love this product. I love this. What do you what I
love more than the product is the team behind it. I send
suggestions boom, I get five people on emails and they like
oh, this is good. We should do that. And they're really really
working very hard on this. It's fun. It's alright, stop
Hammertime
one time, why give me one suggestion that you've ever
made.
Oh, I've made several suggestions. I just want one
when when Alexa, that's her name is reading the news. You have a
news briefing and consent you can customize it what topics you
want. It's that you can have the latest NPR news, which I like
hear it because it's NPR news. It's funny to hear then the BBC
News. Then she'll go through a list. And this is actually how I
came up with a suggestion, a list of topics that you choose
and she'll read it in not a bad voice and not bad cadence. But I
noticed that some of the news stories she would only read the
headline have not read the story, which I believe is it's
probably an XML error or some some parsing system is wrong
somewhere. So I sent this in I said by the way, why don't you
just make it so she reads the headlines and you can then say
Alexa read the story. So I could just continue you can
continuously skip over stories until something I want to hear
that's it that's I think that's a valid
suggestion. You're putting an effort into this. Yes.
I like what Amazon does. I liked them. I liked I like this
company. I like this product. They liked it. They're going to
of course you can only buy music now but they're going to connect
it of course to be already have the shopping list in your to do
list so just automatically order the stuff for me I've tried out
that Amazon pantry. Have you tried this?
I don't know what you're talking about the pantry.
doesn't ever that wasn't an April Fool's joke. That's real.
Yeah, it's a pantry box. It ships for $5.95 No matter what
you can no matter what you put into it, and there's a sizable
box. And it's just no matter what the weight is. It's good
for all that crap. You know, like dishwasher detergent and
get some fabric softener and some beers. Yeah, well, I wonder
if that is or some Cillit bang another one of my favorites. So
I've made that recommendation and I've done a couple I can't
remember offhand I can look at Find the emails for the same
this is a dynamite product they just added Pandora now to it,
which I find interesting. The adding a competing music service
that's pretty good.
So here's some of the stuff they have Coca Cola fridge pack,
smart water, Lay's potato these are all commercial items.
There's nothing special here.
I didn't say a special This is stuff that's a pain in the ass
to go out and get and I just say
why it's a shop for your meat anyway, you can pick up a box of
laundry detergent when you're not at mine by the way
when you live alone and you live on the 15th floor viewer happy
to make one trip from the car.
By the way always use liquid detergent.
Yes. Why What else is there? Powder oh no no always liquid.
Anyway, business okay as powder is finally
I just put a fun little PDF in the show notes for people who
are interested in technology. And this is a summary from the
United States Army electronics command M comm it's an older
one. And it is the performance of trees as radio antennas and
tropical jungle forests is a fascinating read. It's what they
measured performance of trees using trees as radio antennas in
tropical forests, but you wire them up.
Do you have a wire going up the tree or can you use no you use
the actual
tree itself?
How do you do that?
You you stick a wire in it that you need to remove that tickles.
You need to read the PDF. And based on that I discovered
Alexander Pope off. Alexander who pop off pop off pop off pop
off po POV Yeah, pop up. Do you know who he is?
Well, I'm gonna find out quote, don't
but don't look don't look. Okay. This is the Alexander
Stepanovich pop off. Russian key is credited as the inventor of
radio usurping, usurping Tesla, and
Marconi. Marconi Yeah.
I had didn't know that.
Well, the Russians always do this. So the Chinese
do it too. But it's on Wikipedia. Well,
let me look him up. Alexander stepping off pop off. It's
a claimed in his homeland and Eastern European countries as
the inventor of radio.
So I guess what did he do with it he invented and did what
he created the first spark interpreter I guess you could
call it where he could make make a radio would detect noise from
lightning strikes and ring a bell in tune in concert with the
lightning strikes. And from that, you know, he built a very
Pope off lightning detector circuit, which is arguably the
first spark gap generator receiver. Just one of those
things. This will be me in podcasting. In a couple years.
He was this guy over here
exploring a couple the only
thing he had something to do with podcasting in the in
Holland. That can't be real. I can't it can't be for real this
guy.
So he did a radio station in 1900. On Haugland to provide two
way communication by wireless telegraphy between the Russian
naval base and the crew of the battleship general Admiral
Africans didn't belong in that cool, and then ran aground.
Yeah, because it didn't do much because they're too busy
checking their Facebook status.
And then one more question is, is there a new phone for us to
talk about? No.
The only good phones a landline and the phone should be made out
of Bakelite.
Too bad the tech grouch couldn't join us for today's segment. But
that is your tech news. Ladies and gentlemen, real tech news
with things that are interesting to you not just about phones.
Yeah, little history too.
And that stupid stupid watch. Oh, that watch.
We have to only watch you have to take off in the middle of the
day to recharge.
Let's not even talk about my Johnny Boy. I think we should
wind this down. You've got a birthday to celebrate. You got
to you know, press the flesh depress babies to kiss. Busy
man. Yeah, Ah, sounds like you got some to play us out.
Let's see. Nothing. Oh yeah, let's play the Islam taking
over. That's a good clip.
And we're finally new research shows Islam is rapidly gaining
on Christianity and believers worldwide. The Pew Research
Center report that If current trends hold, the number of
Muslims were nearly equal the number of Christians by the year
2050. at just under 3 billion each. The survey sites differing
birth rates and other factors.
Ooh, fight
is a religious fight. We're good to go everybody on the fight.
All right, food prices down oil price down economy up, Euro down
Greece, about to run out of money. So they say so again, so
they said pleasure squads. What was the other one? What was the
other term?
Joy brigade.
Brigade. There you go. Perfect. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Enjoy your birthday, John. Everybody else enjoy Easter
Passover pays off whatever you happen to celebrate. For
anything, anything. Just enjoy yourself. Just enjoy yourself
exactly. As long as this program was put together with great love
