Another fine commercial Scam. what is this a Baskin Robbins.
officially sanctioned.
Just read it on Twitter. It's
no proclamation from the president
says it's on Twitter. Twitter's thing is the president.
Okay, hey, that's swag.
That swag. Yeah, I learned this now. That's a phrase.
Yes, it is.
That swag? Swag.
Where'd you get that one from
my millennial friends? It everything is like if
you were grounded by millennials. I've never heard
that. Oh, really?
Well, your mullet Oh, I don't know. Swag. Swag. It means yes.
Or I agree. Yes. Or I agree or right on swag. Right. Oh, swag.
I don't believe that will catch up. Because it's kind of it's a
term that has secondary meanings that are more powerful than the
in the tertiary me.
I would agree. I'm look don't shoot the messenger every time.
News newsflash.
Newsflash, newsflash,
I will be attending the podcasting Hall of Fame
induction of myself.
Oh, yeah. When's this?
Friday the 31st.
That's coming. It's coming up man days. Yeah.
We have to I need an acceptance speech.
Yeah, he kept telling me that. And then I gave you some ideas
he told me to do.
Well, hold on. Here's John's idea. I step up to the
microphone. And I say, my partner, John C. Dvorak wrote a
speech for me. Thank you. Award. And then I dropped the mic. So
thank you for Oh, was just a award for award.
Thank you for award. You've dropped the mic and walk, drop
the
mic, grab the popcorn. That would work. It would
be great. Wouldn't say Wow. He's gonna do
that. What an asshole is what they'll say? No, they're not.
Oh, come on.
Nobody wants to listen to some long winded speech. When
somebody is accepting an award. They don't even want to be there
if they didn't when I disagree. Oh, it's fun. It's a great you
think people are actually going to these award shows to hear
some long winded and I like to take the academy my mom, my dad,
our Creator, you Dad, I love your dad. Our Creator. That's
kind of thing you what you see really think so?
No, I don't want to do a long winded speech but I have to do
something.
Well, I got a new idea. Okay. What's that? A short history of
podcasting. And where it's headed. was an upbeat kind of a
conclude.
Well, I was thinking about this and
then you hold up the award at the end, you had a very nice way
to do it. At the very end. You have to doubt with your little
spiel, you hold up the awarded a way up in the air you grip
tightly and up in the air and you go go podcasting.
Podcasting we're unstoppable. My mom would be so proud. I'm a
podcaster. It's kind of strange, the whole thing like a Hall of
Fame. I mean, I do this because if you don't do it, then you
know, then people forget about it back. Yeah. Well, there's
that and then you know, people forget. I'm already seeing the
10 years of podcasting articles that pretty much you know, like
you're being left out. Yeah, of course. Of course. It's I don't
need to be mentioned everything. Yes, you do.
Podcasting, but you should get it published. It's just Yeah.
How often do people who don't write about you? I I invest the
whole thing and you don't even mention him. Dude. Do you ever
heard hear of him? No. Well, then you don't even know what
you're doing.
I was thinking about podcasting, though. And really, how NPR who
had who I think are with cereal or the NPR people is not
necessarily NPR. The cereal podcast is without doubt
responsible for a lot of Good ink that came back at this new
with this, this anniversary up about it. Yeah. But what is so
sad is that these these NPR, people have had no idea that
they could monetize it. They couldn't capitalize on it. They
could not own it. They have not been able to do this. Yeah. And
I and I was really thinking of why what is it? Why is that not
working? And also, why did pod show not work for for that for
that matter? I mean, it worked for a long time, but it really
didn't work?
Yeah. Didn't I have some thoughts on why the NPR thing
didn't work? Okay. First of all, I think we're dealing with NPR,
we're dealing with a Kodak phenomenon, invented the digital
camera, they are all over. They had a lot of good cameras, they
had so much ingrained fit. So many ingrained film guys in the
company all throughout through the executive part of it mostly,
that couldn't get their head around that their side of it is
a dying side, even though it was still making money, which is the
NPR thing. They they don't see that, you know, they broadcast
and they have a formula, and they have these deals with these
little affiliates. And the everybody gets, you know, they
don't have they're not stepping all over them.
Well, you know, I think the what's changed is, and you see
that why we call our listeners producers, if we really seen
radio, certainly not music, radio, but informational radio,
the concept of the broadcast network has been inverted. Let
me see if I can explain. So used to be that you'd have a network
and the network was centralized centralized programming, and it
used affiliates to distribute the programming. And now the
affiliates have become contributors. The affiliates
what we call producers and are also you know, our listeners,
they're actually producing the programming. And that's what NPR
can never allow because they're so full of themselves. Yeah,
well, we can't just have people sending us jingles. But that's
just no good. We can't do that and how we have to have them
have to be all zeroed out zero dB. We have to do it ourselves.
We can't have anybody doing this No no, no no no.
Well there is that
not
at all. No, no, no, no, no, no, NO NO NO GOD NO NO, NO, NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
I can assure you that if somebody sent in a jingle that
was catchy like that little one you just played they would never
get on the air never be exactly the reasons you cite. Never
happen. Why would we do that? Why would we let these people do
that? Also it's 30 was our job it's
31 seconds not the the the required 30 seconds. We can't do
this. We can't do this. No way man is
that too? Yeah. Yeah, no, you're Yeah, no, you are a man are dead
right about this not taking advantage of cereal? Yeah, I
came. I was a phenomenal phenomenal phenomenal I don't
think it was phenomenal. That was a phenomenon. Well, I don't
know because actually only listen to a little bit of it.
But it was a phenomenon is what I'm trying to say. And
everyone's all jacked up. Oh, well, who's podcasting the
future and they write a bunch of articles and then it fades out.
It's all the
same things. How do we make money? Why did what are the how
many downloads? Yeah, how do you say no, if someone listens to
this, we're going to the same cycle the same loop. But then
very, very slowly, you know, things like the no agenda show
do creep in.
Well separate today. Yeah, I know. I know. I saw this
interest in today's show. We have one producer
Yeah, Adam please go back to Holland or whatever and go away
so that was thinking yeah, it's
Adam. Kevin's back hey, that's Adams back Hurray. Whatever,
whatever dude. I know. I know you want to tell you want to do
our one producer now since we're well, I'll give me a moment
because I will say thank you very much for your courage and
in the mornings you John C with the C stands for crazy like a
fox Devorah duck.
Well, I in the morning to you Adam curry in the morning all
ships at sea. The boots on the ground, and the subs in the
water
in the morning to everyone in the chat room. No agenda
stream.com Good to have you all onboard and in the morning to
our artists in the morning to Ivan. Ivan brought us the
artwork for episode seven three Niner. And what was that? Huh?
What was the 739
artwork? Yeah, it was the Bernie thing wasn't it? Oh, yeah.
Weekend at Bernie's. Right, right. Yeah. From the Denic day
That gag has been done I think a couple of years ago. It's still
without Bernie. Right? Like quite the same it's still works
still works. Yeah this is interesting. I've had this
problem with this browser I'm gonna have to run some some
stuff some
you do need to keep talking in the mic this is I'm sure you
remember the thing we talked about the you said it would be
gone when I got back home No.
Yeah, well as because a couple of things one, I didn't swap out
the mic that would have a better rejection. Okay, and the second
thing is is I didn't hook up to the NOC as the as the podcasting
machine because it has apparently the Intel when they
sent me this thing to look at they put a copy of a beta
version of 8.1 and now it's now in its calls home it says sorry,
oh, oh, I see I got it.
You need to put some so I have to go I have a copy of this is
very interesting to me that this does this I have to boot up I've
had to put windows seven on it, which is a step backwards but
then I'll upgrade it to Windows 10 when they when they allow
that
well what happens is from time to time you just fade out fade
way down into
kind of no sometimes I go off axis is the problem
yeah, we'll stay on the axis Well,
here's what the deal is. If you tell me to go to the spreadsheet
or do anything on the computer screen I have to the mic is in
the way passing little thing
why do we usually get one of those Britney Spears things you
know the what is it the radio man what does it call it country
man country man right
I've used country man i The the their heart I don't like them
because they I mean I have I actually went I was at at NAB
conference I had the countrymen people I went to their booth and
hadn't shown me how to put that mic on properly. Which as I
would look out there, nobody puts it on properly. You had the
mic should actually be touching your cheek right to be actually
in contact with your face. And but you got to bend did is yeah,
you bend it this way. Then you bend it that way better than you
get it on the snaps. And yeah, okay, so
tell us what microphone are you on today?
I'm on the CAD 3000.
Okay, this it's something strange. I'm not sure what it
is, but it dies off it just so you'd be talking. Here's, here's
what it sounds like. I'm John C. Dvorak. I'm talking about how
great I don't know why it's doing
so extremely, extremely disappointing. Disappointing. We
have
one guy as the producer. He's came in with $200 from Amsterdam
of all places, Paul, popping up the open house and open Holton
bugs and Huffine. Up often huff and Bob can often open hatkoff
behalf and I'll take it, Paul. Yeah, from Amsterdam $200 schema
to it. So he's got the lucky winner of the $200 you get an
Executive Associate or executive producer ship because you're the
highest that came in the highest and the only that came in over
$200. Next Tuesday, I'll be birthdays he writes in next
Tuesday, it'll be the birthday of my love of my life. And since
she left me a wonderful note on T PBPTBPOT. You the best podcast
of the universe.
I guess it should be in the universe, but it's okay. I will
take off.
I like it. When it was my birthday in February. I'd like
to return the favor ignoring the fact a few weeks ago, we
followed one of our other traditions as well, which is
ending our relationship during the summer.
It's a it's a fine, I think this is a very interesting idea. Just
you know, you know what, baby, I'm just going to take the
summer off. All right, I'll see you in fall.
We always rely on water and fire although we could make each
other extremely happy. The opposite was very true as well.
Some moments it felt like I'm missing a leg not having her
around anymore. But I think we can truly say we've tried
everything and there's no doubt in my mind. We love each other.
This is why we're breaking up Donnie. I love you so much and
we need to spend some time apart.
When we first met I hailed science and nothing to hide and
had this strange urge to be normal. I was burning away my
life juice. She taught me it was okay to be weird gave me the
inspiration to change and taught me to think for myself. And of
course hit me in the mouth. One of those Switcheroos with a
woman hits the guy
which is always more commonplace than you think.
They don't brag about it as much. I will miss her and her
wonderful family. Add our Jan and dida dida, Dida, Dida, but
I'm thankful for the time we've had and I know it's for the
better I'm sure she will find happiness and And she will
always have a special place in my heart and thoughts. What's
her name? By the way? Did
we ever I know who I know it is it's Ancilla
Oh, okay. And so oh
yeah, she she moved to Berlin and I think that kind of
complicated things. I don't know. I'm not exactly sure
that would complicate things because I'm moving to Berlin on
a positive note, Adam you never know maybe this Christmas she
will now cook for you in her Christmas outfit.
Okay, I've seen I've seen photos of her christening
it's not too much trouble. Can you play my own jingle Oh,
that's right. Did Paul did the Obama 80s right that's right.
Hopefully my new jingle attached to this No, no, he's got a new
jingle attached to this note
which is the one I just play he's just playing but I'm going
to play a short version now for because he sent a long version.
And if you're really in a good mood ISIS in America because
it's so wonderfully produced, I missed it on that one to top it
off with some relationship karma for her and everybody who needs
it please
and he will become even though his donation level was Associate
Executive Producer since he's the only one he wins the top
spots the coveted executive producer, sole executive
producer of episode 740
Right yes, it was
me for rescue missions when the world is threatened. The world
needs help it calls on America
and that's the story Yeah, no no no, no no
no, no no not at all. No no no no no no no NO NO OH NO NO NO NO
NO Hey ISIS will follow them to the gate ISIS you've got karma
inadvertently played the long version again but I'll play the
the short version I'm sure will be played more in the future.
Play it later. And that's all we got? Well, even this it is quite
disappointing. I have to say. Yeah, yeah. Welcome does
You're welcome. And
your whole newsletter focused very much on what it takes to
produce this and I
didn't know on deaf ears. Yeah, I feel kind of although I will
say that there's something amiss with the net even though I get a
bunch of feedback as I said a little secondary mailing out
saying hey, check your spam box because we're losing a lot of
opens like a lot
Oh, okay. I received no positive amount you didn't go to spam
spam on my box.
So that well I get a lot No, no, I read far and over or maybe
people are just like, male I don't have a problem.
Maybe you need to put more on different kinds of pictures in
there. Maybe kittens are done I don't know.
If you think the male guys at Google and those people hate
cats Yeah,
the filtering that right.
That's his best because
there weren't a lot of opens doesn't mean that that I went to
spam just people didn't open it. Maybe the subject line was
wrong. What was the subject line?
Hello? Hello? Is it me you're looking for we had no this open
thing is noticeable to me. I know I know what you're doing. I
know what this I believe me. We've been doing this long
enough now that I have a sense of it, which is what you get to,
and I know when what a crappy subject line will deliver. This
is below that.
So you think that a lot of Gmail went to spam, one of our
one of our listeners and producers right in on Twitter,
she says, hey, hey, hey, you. The last eight emails have all
gone to spam when it never has before and I keep tabs Hotmail
and I keep whitelisting and whitelisting and whitelisting
and it still goes to spam.
So that's a Hotmail is a that's a problem. That's a problem.
Well, you know what you're supposed to do you're supposed
to go to one of those companies and get yourself whitelisted
anywhere and you pay about $50,000 a month
Hey, hey you hey use MailChimp should be paying the money I
agree. Right? This is a man that to me. Somebody has pointed this
out to me some some one of these guys who knows how to how the
email system really works. And he says that MailChimp is
everyone's so it goes through some some pipe that is just a
piece of crap that they've just auto spammed right into the spam
boxes and there's some other issues. So knowing
well we have one of our producers works there so I'm
sure he will get back to you on that.
Yeah, I hope so if he's listening, there's a show on
but you know, Gmail did change something significant in the
past week?
Yes, there has been a CIT Gmail has made a change. And Google
has been making these changes on to the point where it SEO,
folks, well, I'm an SEO expert,
Well, besides the search part, but they specifically they, they
specifically changed something with Gmail and a lot of people,
I read a lot of posts about how news group or mail mailing lists
where people are responding back and forth. And, you know,
whatever, just talking, you get copies of the posts on the
email, those have gone to spam. And I also noticed, because
when, when Google changes these things of these, these gray
lists, or these black lists, they get updated as well. And my
I run my own mail server, and I subscribe to a number of these
lists because they do typically that's pretty good. But I think
a lot of things got added that shouldn't have there must be
some automated process when Google adds certain sites or
certain scenarios to their to their blacklist, I think it
propagates but with that said, I did get the newsletter so it
wasn't a problem for me. But the yogi's like if people want to
have Google control their email fine and this is what you get.
It hurts us to
a lot of horribly but it's so let me open up my Gmail account
and see what a fine job they're doing on this okay. mail from
from Neiman Marcus 25% off summer home sale and soon
and that is in your regular your regular inbox.
Yes. Oh, blue collar someone just searched for you on true
color. Oh, really? Who cares?
This is fun. Let me look at my Gmail I have a Gmail
Seeking Alpha. Who does Google have any more upside?
This is all the not go to spam
needs? No, this is not in the spam box. This is the box that I
have with the regular inbox the regular inbox a regular inbox. I
billing do you get this AdSense action required to get paid? At
least that you get
the Motley Fool's of crap spam or the spam?
Yeah to do and it's like the Lord and Taylor never Mish,
Lauren net. There's the headline, never miss a
parenthesis fashion on parentheses moment. Neiman
Marcus, stay up to date on the latest trends and fashion news.
It's working. Oh yeah, thank you Google. Or Okay, Google cache,

Here's something in Russian. I don't even know what this is.
This thing alert for homes for sale in the nine to one to seven
area or zip code. If this is like somebody else's email.
I'm going to move on to our PR segment as we have some more
information on the no agenda CD, Las Vegas meetup during DEF CON
23. You want to pay attention this and I will put the PR

actual credit. And we're very happy that Paul received that
he's done some fantastic work for us. And we appreciate the
support of the work end of the show. And his relationship karma

credits on your LinkedIn where they appear to work very, very
well. And of course we always need everybody out there doing
the very important work of propagating our formula.
Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth.
Yo Yo I'd like to start it off with some local Texas news.
Which is,
I find this murderer or that poor woman who hung herself in
the jail supposedly that
no no, no, no by Planned Parenthood. Oh, the baby chopper
and the baby crushers. Now, what's interesting is when you
It's so difficult for the mainstream media who have always
been all completely in on Planned Parenthood, the
obviously without a lot of investigation or looking under
the hood, so to speak. It's very hard for them to accept what is
taking place here. And I had one additional thought about what is
going on. But the first thing that I'm noticing is the
mainstream talks about tissue of the whole Well, you know, for
fetal tissue, not enough. If you watch the video, which you can
tell, but even what's her name? Megan Kelly, she hasn't seen the
video, I can tell by the question she's asking, she
hasn't actually watched the entire video, which is not that
hard to do. Because they are talking about full on organs,
lungs, heart, liver, lungs, and liver. I don't know if they've
actually mentioned heart, but lungs and liver
actually do mention heart at one point and how you how they do
something
specific to extract the fetus, which is it's really a partial,
you know, it's a live birth, they extract the fetus so as not
to damage the organs inside. And there's an entire instructions.
And this is where it gets very, very shady and about to let a
lawyer speak to it. You know, if you it's one thing to have a
process of an abortion, if you then change that process
specifically to retrieve organs, there's some legality issues
with that. And the lawyer, of course, who I'm going to I've
talked about it is Ted Cruz, who was way down the list on
favorites for winning the presidential, the Republican
nomination for president. But he does have some good information
here.
These tapings of Planned Parenthood selling body parts
are grotesque, it really highlights the evil of what
they're doing. They say it isn't a sale, you know, two things
need to happen. Number one, there needs to be a criminal
investigation, there are at least three federal laws that
are potentially violated one selling the body parts of unborn
children for prophets. Number two, for any transfer of tissue,
there has to be written consent from the mother and number
three, under federal law, you cannot change the method of
abortion if you're trying to get tissue in that tape. You see,
they're discussing different methods to capture. And so I'm
calling on the US Department of Justice to investigate as
federal law been violated. And I'm calling on state officials
in any any location where Planned Parenthood exist for
state district attorney, State Attorneys General to investigate
criminal conduct. And I'll say in addition, that that I serve
on the Senate Judiciary Committee, I believe the
Judiciary Committee will hold oversight hearings to get to the
bottom of what they did. And I'll tell you right now, I chair
the oversight federal rights and federal courts subcommittee. And
if the full committee doesn't hold hearings, I intend to hold
hearings to get to the bottom of what appear to be barbaric
practices being carried out by Planned Parenthood,
and barbaric is the word you'll hear over and over again. All of
a sudden, now we're going to everyone across the board is
going to say oh, yeah, this is kind of barbaric, what they're
doing because, you know,
barbaric, dropped a beat meme. And there's no I checked with,
with our little on before we go on with that, because he does
bring up a point because I watched the whole thing. Yeah,
it's a little less dramatic than the edited version, which
this is just the just one. Oh, you mean that? of the video? You
mean? Yeah, I watched the whole version I watch the whole thing
is free now. And then I can I think they get they can slide on
a couple of things. They can slide on the profit thing,
because it's, it's 30 bucks or something, whatever their
charges now. See this? I think they can slide on that. I think
they will start out this that third one that he brought up
that I didn't even know about the procedure. That to me, I
don't see how you get around, especially with that with that
woman described doing
now, I want to contradict you a little bit because it was
between 30 and $100 per item right. Now, so that could that
could easily be depending on how many items you want. That could
be five $600 that who knows what the market will bear what and I
was talking to nurse Tracy or resident medical professional of
the show. And I said what is the optimum age or gestation period
of the fetus for organs that can be that are useful? And
interestingly enough, that's about 20 weeks, which is exactly
the control oversee over late term abortions, do you let me
just throw this out, it may be possible that the prices for
these organs are more or but I presume it's going to fluctuate
with market demand that there may be some women who are so
desperate that they will keep their child as long as possible.
And this is why the entire conversation, maybe it's about
20 weeks who the hell knows it could be they want to move that
and keep that, you know, move it up even further, or remove it
altogether, so that they can have more valuable wares to
sell, which goes all across the board right down to the provider
of the parts, which would be the mother. It's creepy to think
about it, but it could be it could be taking place.
It could be. But that's a different. That's another story.
That's just a supposition. It took me I still believe that
they can do they bring a bookkeeper and they can do some
bookkeeping fit cook the books a little bit and there's no profit
involved. And I think they can get I think,
I agree, I think they can get away. But they do have to show
that the money is actually coming into Planned Parenthood
that I think is going to be interesting. What if it's not
what if it's going, Pat, you're going back to that's a different
story, right? Because I believe that the the clinics that
perform the work, which are affiliated, they are called the
providers, if you watch that video, she talks about the
provider will tell the provider to do this or do that tell them
how to extract the fetus to crush it. To get the organs out.
They may be doing it for profit. Now it's one step removed from
Planned Parenthood, but you can see the issue.
Well, we have to assume that with Congress on the on the on
the case that they will never get to the bottom of it.
Exactly. Yeah. But I didn't know about that third element that
eluded me. Yeah. And
I also don't I have not said it's gonna be a problem. I have
to look into the law to see exactly what's going on.
But I think he probably summarized pretty well.
And then we had our six week cycle event on show day, which
is always fantastic. This
has happened a couple of times, I think two or three times.
Yeah. People say Oh, well, you got laid down. This has
happened. I think the shooting at the Navy Yard was on the show
day. It was
yes. Now the problem here is I was in transit and I'm still
kind of jet lagged. I was I have this weird headache that I think
is pressurization related. It's just like, yeah, it's kind of
like a sharp headache. Yeah, I've had it's related to flying
or long, you know, long periods of pressurization. Anyway, so I
kind of out of it. And I never I never really caught the whole
story. So I'm relying on you a bit to help us out with anything
that you may have discovered.
Well, there was a couple of things that went on. Let me take
a look at my list here so I can figure out what clips to play.
But the first there was this event where the FBI tried to
frame some dummy and this was the let me see if I find it. I
got a six week play this this is the thing I thought was they
were trying to make the event and then they decided that go to
plan B. This is the six week sucker backup scheme. This took
place a day or two before the other event
three year old Massachusetts man accused by the FBI of plotting
attacks to show support for the self described Islamic State
appeared in court Tuesday, Alexander Niccolo was arrested
after he allegedly bought a duffel bag full of guns from an
FBI witness. His father, a Boston police captain had told
authorities his son was growing obsessed with Islam. So colo has
a history of mental illness and his arrest has raised questions
of entrapment, since the FBI effectively armed him then
charged him with having guns. While he's accused of plotting
terrorist attacks. The only charge against him is illegal
gun possession.
Wait a minute, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
He's only charged with illegal weapon possession not with
terrorist. Yeah, because
it was both. They couldn't pull it pull that one off. So they
you still they made him buy some guns from them. And then
for the new listeners among us, I think we should just briefly
explain the six week cycle, which came about when one of our
producers who has ties to the FBI, we'll just leave it at Ty's
said, told me directly. We need the six week events every six
weeks in order to stay relevant. In order to continue our budgets
to come through. We need to show that the FBI is doing good work.
And subsequently they get these Patsy's who are I think this guy
was also mentally ill. Yeah,
that's your easy pick it Yeah. And then some guy who's mentally
ill done just before it's so sad. There's a bunch of examples
of this.
And we'll call this out There's only examples of this they get
remember those guys that they were like total return the
warehouse. Blow up the country. The retards in the warehouse.
retards in the warehouse. place up. Yeah, I'm gonna know it. The
whole country I'm gonna blow it up. Well, how are we gonna do
it? I think we just do it. I mean, they just had nothing. And
so they busted these idiots. Yeah, it was pathetic. All
right, so the shooter was some guy some I thought that guy
didn't get I thought that they took him alive but I guess he
didn't know
they well here's what I was watching the head video. And
where the guy was shooting through the through the door,
the glass. And where they got him is like clear on the other
side of the compound. And supposedly he crashed through
this gate with his car. There's not a scratch on the front. I
don't know how that works. But that's where they killed him
where his car was ditched. And there's not a shell casing, not
a shell casing marking anywhere. There are markings on the other
side where he shot apparently, allegedly. Yeah, those
shells all over the place. But not
where they killed him. There's no shells. There's nothing I
thought he went out in a blaze of glory with all this shooting
and there's nothing. There's strange stuff with as usual.
That's always
strange stuff as usual. Yeah. So this guy is if you look at a
picture of him, he's you know, he's a I think he was a smart
kid. And somehow he just turned into this maniac. Well,
depending on what drugs he was put on for him. You know, I
think there's some elements, there's obviously some element
there. And because when he was set off to go do this, like,
like a puppy dog, and off he went, and he ended up killing
five people turns out to be five now, but so there's no there's
no real analysis. And again, as somebody else pointed out in a
different podcast, I've heard this. I'm starting to hear this
more now. And I'm glad nobody ever talks about the drugs on
any of these things. They never discussed the drugs and even you
everybody's getting all drugged up. And so you're getting a
public that does is very suggestible. And it can even be
Chantix. You know, it'd be Shanthi, because we
actually take a look and see if we have any reports. And we're
kind of here you
we have a number of so what happens because there's no real
we don't know Anyway,
here's what I have. Apparently, he had stopped taking his meds.
But what was he taking?
They won't tell you.
Maybe on serotonin
reuptake inhibitors, or I'm sure it's what main thing is that
they give everybody SSRIs SSRIs SSRIs. And everybody's taking
those and they're the worst drug in the world. And some people
take them voluntarily.
Oh, well, according to The Washington Post. He told friends
he had failed his company's drug test after smoking marijuana.
Yeah, that'll do it. That's right.
Massage these clips and this one clip is interesting. Let's try
it. Well, actually, they're both interesting. Play shooter,
social media, because this is what everyone's trying to get
out. They're trying to get on board on this idea. And today, I
have a comment about this bullcrap.
Um, al Qaeda or ISIS ideology, know exactly what those links
are back to those organizations. That is what we still have to
figure out. And ISIS has specifically been asking people
to target members of the US military, right? That's right.
And ISIS has been really much more successful at using social
media and calling for Muslims globally to attack at home not
traveling to Afghanistan, or Iraq or Syria, and targeting
either law enforcement officials or members of the military. So
in that sense, certainly the initial appearance of this
attack very much falls in line with what ISIS has been
encouraging. When you mentioned social media, how cooperative
have social media companies been in balancing the privacy rights
of their users versus aiding authorities in an investigation
like this? Well, this is a very thorny problem, especially after
the disclosures by Edward Snowden. There's great
discomfort between the national security community and social
media companies. I think that social media companies are doing
what they can. But in truth, many in the US government think
that they can do a little bit more and that would be
disclosing information to federal officials, once they see
it is clearly associated with terrorist activity. The fact is
that social media and other modes of secure communications
are really how these organizations are getting their
message out and in some ways, communicating so it is going to
be a very cooperative effort between the technology community
in the US and abroad and global counterterrorism officials.
It's pretty obvious what we're trying to achieve here.
Yes, and let me know here's the question that should be asked if
you were these reporters who are on the panel talking to this
guy. What is it? First of all, what is nobody ever asked us? By
the way? What is the main thoroughfare? Let's call it of
social media that these people use for this sort of thing. It's
Twitter, Twitter, right? Twitter sells its pipe. Yeah. But lock,
stock
and barrel, the whole pipe. The firehose, I think is what it's
called. Yeah. It's called the firehose, you can get the whole
thing across a number of marketers, but it's not cheap.
It's not cheap, not cheap. But you can get it you can afford
it. And you if you have these budgets for these
counterterrorism budget budget, you can easily afford in the
Library of Congress has it, they get it for free, I believe. And
so you could go there if you had to. So there's nothing that this
these companies are gonna give you that you can't get yourself
and analyze yourself. Because these people that work at
Twitter are not real intelligence agents, you know,
doing analysis. They don't do that. That's not what they do.
Yeah, I also
highly doubt that they're going to be looking around and passing
on information. I think these probably bully sharing bull crap
argument. Yeah. They get the federal government if they don't
have the firehose already. They're nuts. Because they are
they are this is all bull crap. Oh, gee. Now there is the thing
with the direct messaging that yeah, okay, maybe that's not on
the fire hose? I don't know.
Yeah. But the direct messaging, as we heard from the previous,
was a director of cyber, the Cyber Command director, he
played it on Thursday, he said that they have no problem
getting direct messages from Twitter. It's not encrypted. And
so I presume all they do is just ask Twitter and they hand it
over.
So you would be you'd have your real intelligence analysts going
through the firehose are, wait a minute, let's just put this
here's another one, take the fire hose and, and you know,
they've already done this, and give it to the NSA. They got all
the gear so they can analyze and translate and find these guys on
Twitter, instantly. And then when they see them going to
direct messaging, then they can go to Twitter and ask them to
take you know, give us these DMS and they would hand them over
like in like they do.
John, are you telling me this? This is crap.
So what is this argument? Yes, it's total crap. And nobody gets
called out on it. This is nonsense. This they already have
all this stuff. What are they bitching about? So you know, oh,
if they'd be more cooperative off Twitter would just help us
when they see you know, as as though anyone at Twitter HE
READS ARABIC. It's bull crap, and it's annoying. And nobody
says anything. And it's just except, except us except us what
we do and but you know that how many people and what support do
we get for bringing?
Nothing we are here hashtag America near our hashtag target
soon. There you go there just hashtag in it.
Alright, now here's the second clip. This is shooter, whatever
it says,
if this was an ISIL inspired lone wolf attack, it was just
the kind authorities have been worried about losers to lions.
It's
the sort of young individual who is looking for something a cause
greater than themselves. This ideology is winning. And we
don't have the counter narrative out there. There is a message
out there that we're not getting out there. That's our it's an
ideological
war. In this case, there were apparently few red flags.
Abdulaziz only prior running with police occurred in April he
was arrested on a charge of drunk driving and was to appear
in court later this month. And there are reports out tonight
from the Associated Press that back in 2003, Abdulaziz applied
to work for a nuclear power plant in Ohio. He was brought in
temporarily while he did a background check the company
says he failed that background check they are not indicating
why that was this is
a this is really a national health crisis what they're doing
here on the news. This is this is making people sick. This is
true this is so this is so here's here's the
unanswered question which is again do the reporters fallen
down on the job? It's and it's real obvious in this clip but no
and I've seen this discussed before no one brings this up. If
this guy is a big follower of yours or preoccupied or has
anything to do with Islam, and he wants to be a martyr and it
will have all the all of these versions or whatever the his
motive really were. How is he a drinker?
Oh, I didn't realize that. Oh, of course. Of course. He's not a
drinker.
He wouldn't be a drinker. So why would he get busted for drunk
driving? is bullcrap. He's not a major he's not even it's this is
nonsense. He's not a Muslim fundamentalist if he's drunk
driving. I mean, are who are we kidding with these reports?
Anyway,
Was he driving drunk and watching porn on his iPhone at
the same time, but
the boring part but probably the looks of them? I caught
an interview with one of his classmates. And this was Andrea
Mitchell, who was asking the questions, of course is a true
elitist married to Greenspan Greenspan, former chairman of
the Fed and she really I loved how she was really trying to
push this poor girl into into a corner with the guns thing. Then
the grilling goes What are you saying and Andrew Mitchell tries
it again with guns a big part of activities social or other
activity was what did he heartily shoot love this? Oh, if
you use a gun to haunt then you're dangerous now oh, it may
be even more I mean was that just part of small town
Tennessee activity that's right Hicks rednecks Andrea have
that's right now your elites over there in New York City in
your fancy Big Apple. No, we rednecks. Here we hold we hunt
squirrels and we eat. That's right. It's a part of our small
town Tennessee culture here.
Actually, he wasn't one of the guys that I ever heard about. He
wasn't really that kind of guy. But he also didn't really tell a
lot of people about his personal life. I don't think very many
people knew much about him. This baby is Baby
Funny, funny note came to the transom. This is an we're just
going to presume it's true that you would come over the trance
that's over there. It's not through it's over the transom.
Yes Not through the trance over the transom Khalif Abu Bakr al
Baghdadi that's our Baghdadi man All right guy. He has sent out a
red dash alpha message in two parts to all
before before I want you to read this but before we do that, I
finally somebody mentioned he's Chechnya in
Baghdadi. Yeah, surprises me not. Okay, he does send out a
note to all affiliates. There's gonna run a little long run a
little long today, everybody. Here's what he said less than 10
minutes
and I know he said we are very concerned about the videos that
you were producing. Let me see here. He's okay, we are
installing limits on what you can do in your videos, your
beheading videos, including showing full beheadings please
follow the format. Simply limit the video to showing the
slitting of the throat and then the severed head after which is
exactly what the bogus videos have always been. If you look at
any of the official quote unquote beheading videos, you
never see the head cut off it fades to black when the knife
kind of goes and then you see the photoshopped head on the on
the guy's back later on. So I think what's happening is Rita
Katz, or the SITE Intelligence Group, whoever, you know, the
they're worried that that these nut jobs because of course
they're real beheadings, but they're really gruesome and
they're not produced. Well, you know, they're creepy. They don't
speak to the, to the imagination of people who have grown up with
Hollywood version of
dynamite. The idea is you want to frighten people you don't
want to get them so upset that they want to kill you.
Yeah, that would be so wrong. Yeah, that won't work out. So
now he's sent out the message please keep to the format of not
actually showing any beheading. Perfect. Please limit your
graphic violence. What kind of beheading guy is this?
It's just bullcrap. This is, again, I was watching Max
Keiser.
Oh, I haven't watched Max in a long time. Did you have
something good actually quite
funny but he's he makes his gummy says he's just out of the
blue. He says well, we all know that ISIS is is run by the CIA
and the CIA is run by the Fed.
Good old Max Yeah, I buy it on that. Now now with all of this
happening with ISIS in America, as they are here hashtag in
America hashtag soon hashtag they're killing your soldiers.
They're killing your viewer soldiers families. We are here
to kill you to kill you. Wesley Clark had a very in a Wesley
Clark was he at one point the commander of NATO think he was
think so too? I'll look it up. Wesley Clark very famous for
being all in on the original plan with the what we call the
West Clark sevens actually play that for a second. This is after
the Gulf War started was this after Desert Storm, I think
started. No, I'm sorry.
This was after nine love running for office right after 911 was
just before the the bush to write a war in Iraq.
And here is what he said happened.
So I came back to see him a few weeks later. And by that time we
were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, Are we still going to war
with Iraq? And he said, Oh, it's worse than that. He said, He
reached over on his desk, he picked up a piece of paper. He
said, I just, he said, I just got this down from upstairs
meeting the Secretary of Defense Office today. And he said, this
a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven
countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then
Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran.
And we're
getting pretty close to doing all of that. We have all of them
on the list, including Lebanon, which is now also in
Yes, he was the Supreme Allied Commander of Europe for NATO
Starfleet Command.
Wesley Clark, has a theory a theory more more, I think,
almost more recommendation as to what we should be doing here in
America with our potential ISIS terrorists. And it really brings
together a whole bunch of things. Finally, we know what is
going on. You know, a lot of people would say you report
yourself. So how do we fix self radicalized lone Wolf's
domestically? Well, I love she said, rooks, Lone lone wolves,
everybody.
ourselves. So how do we fix self radicalized lone Wolf's
domestically, but I dig lone Wolf's?
Well, we've got to identify the people who are most likely to be
radicalized, we've got to cut this off at the beginning. There
are always a certain number of young people who are alienated,
they don't get a job, they lost a girlfriend, their family
doesn't feel happy. I
love this, wait a minute, I don't have a job, I lost my
girlfriend, my family doesn't, I should go kill some people. I
should be a lone wolf now.
And we can watch the signs of that. And there are members of
the community who will reach out to those people and bring them
back in and encourage them to look at their blessings here.
But I do think on a national policy level, we need to look at
what self radicalization means because we are at war with this
group of terrorists, they do have an ideology in World War
Two, if someone supported Nazi Germany at the expense of the
United States. We didn't say that was freedom of speech. We
put him in a camp we they were prisoners of war. So if these
people are radicalized, and they don't support the United States,
and they're disloyal to the United States in charge a matter
of principle, fine. That's their right. It's our right and our
obligation to segregate them from the normal community for
the duration of the conflict. And I think we're going to have
to increasingly get tough on this not only in the United
States, but our allied nations like Britain and Germany and
France are going to have to look at their domestic law procedures
FEMA camps,
but they got to do some with those camps FEMA
camp now we finally know what the FEMA camps are there for a
lock up the lone Wolf's
lone wolf. Now, there's a guy if you remember the earlier clip
where this guy was a sheriff, or one of the law enforcement guys
going on and on about oh, you're they have a bet he wished you
actually you're gonna have to play that again. Because there's
something he says there. Which one is this? The one the first
one that says cooperation?
Cooperation,
shooter, shooter, social media, social media, I'm gonna tell you
where to stop it
from al Qaeda or ISIS ideology, you know exactly what those
links are back to those organizations. That is what we
still have to figure out. And ISIS has specifically been
asking people to target members of the US military, right.
That's right. And ISIS has been really much more successful at
using social media and calling for Muslims globally to attack
at home not traveling to Afghanistan. Stop
it. Now this mean is going to this is a meme that's we've
heard that I'm calling on all the meme is oh, these guys are
geniuses at social media. Yeah, and we don't know what we're
doing. What can we do better at it? Yeah. I'm getting a little
tired of it to be honest about it. And there's this one guy
this guy same guy he goes on to talk about how they they're so
good their their argument is so compelling that it that it turns
people and we have no counter argument we have no nothing that
you know, you you have here's your choices. You go out and
kill a cop. Or no you don't I mean, there's no you know, and
if you could kill a cop, it's good because we said it is and
yeah, there are a sight is we don't give a crap one way or the
other. We don't care. It's just nonsense. And a lot of this in
this this and this alienation that was the Clark talks about
and if you look if you take it too The base logic. It's because
the schools I blame the education system. We're really
taught in a lot of ways to disrespect our own country. Oh,
continuously we suck. We stink. We're
racist. We hate gays. Koch brothers hate gays we were
raised. Were last we're behind all the countries in education.
We're losers. We're losers. We
should yeah, this shouldn't do that. Yeah, it's Yeah, yeah. So
so the kid comes out, he can't get a job lose his girlfriend is
this guy says, which is, you know, I could stab everybody, of
course. But they they, you know, that doesn't mean you have to go
kill it all. And they don't see that they're, you know that
there's any benefits attributed to the, to their environment.
All they see is it was because their environment, they lost
their groves things aren't bad enough, in this crummy country
that we're taught to hate, shitty. Look at Oh, and I lost
my girlfriend probably because of this crummy country. And then
I lost my job because this crappy country can't get me
work. By the way, there's an argument to be had for that part
of it. But that's another story. Right? And it's, they say, Well,
let me go kill a few Marines that'll, that'll, that'll fix
it. Yeah, this is about problem that's a little deeper. Well,
I'm, I'm seeing some evidence of, of really how ISIS ISIL is
advertising, whatever you want to call it plays out. And
actually, it's something that I caught last last week, there was
based on the ISIS, of course, attack in Tunisia, the President
issued a memorandum. And it's starting to see, whereas we had
al Qaeda, al Qaeda, the brand got tired. There was too tied to
bin Laden, you know, the, there were too many guys that were
aging and didn't look scary. And really, we really needed to have
a new boogeyman, and ISIS ISIL, which, you know, we haven't even
really branded properly work. So well just confuse everybody with
even what it's called.
It is now took off too fast.
Well, now it's being implemented. Abusing ISIS ISIL
is to sell war stuff, and to get people all jacked up. So here's
the memorandum for the Secretary of State subject designation of
the Republic of Tunisia as a major non NATO ally. And the
President says consistent with the authority vested in me as
president by section 517 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961,
as amended, I hereby designate the Republic of Tunisia as a
major non NATO ally of the United States for the purposes
of the act. And this is the key arms export control act. And
what this means, because I had to look it up, you see, well,
here we go. This is a major non NATO ally. Here's the
explanation of what that means. And I'm just a disc jockey. It's
not that hard to look this stuff up major non NATO Allies defined
in Section 644. The Foreign Assistance Act means a country
that is designated in accordance with section 517. That's the one
that President mentioned, of the Foreign Assistance Act in 1961,
was a major non NATO ally for purposes of the Foreign
Assistance Act and the Arms Control Act, the following
countries are designated as major non NATO allies, and you
get a couple of which Tunisia was not one. And the reason why
there's a cap, there's a cap on what we can send to countries
unless they're on this list. And the cap is $60 million, which of
course is shit $60 million.
Today's world, it's not shit, it's
compliant, nothing. It's nothing. So in order to qualify
for assistance above and beyond the $60 million that's why you
have to be designated a non a major non NATO ally. And so we
send in some goons, yeah, shoot up a couple of Brits, it's
they're expendable, you know. Have you ever seen a Brit on the
on the on the beach? Come on, man that's blinded by this
right? The guy probably had to wear night vision goggles? No,
actually, that would that would Blind him. So you know, we get
an attack and then all of a sudden we're selling stuff to
Tunisia, where this little switcheroo of the of
the law Hey, gotta sell sell sell. Yeah. And
that's really what it comes down to, you know, NATO, all the NATO
countries have to be at their 2% 2% of GDP. They're spending
now the Saudi the Saudis arrested 431 Isis sub suspects
the I'll bet the last thing they want is to have some kind of
attack on their turf. And then we come in Don't worry, we'll
take care of it. Team Obama, Team America here. So it's
becoming quite the thing.
It's pretty funny. Yeah. Wow. If it's funny well It's not funny
that these guys who get killed just as collateral damage is
terrible. Right, right. Of course, there was somebody that
pointed this out. Of course, I think it was a right wing talk
show guy. The first point as well. You got a marine
recruiting office. bunch of Marines in there. And they're
forbidden to wear firearms. Yeah. I mean, half of these
events have taken places there's an element of forbidden to wear
firearms to protect yourself. And with it with the word out,
oh, God, we got high alert.
You know, when I alert everybody, when did that
actually start? Didn't that start doing
this that we would arm these guys who are at places that
would be obvious targets?
When did that start? When did they know the gun free zones?
gun free zones? No guns in the in the mess? No guns on an army
base. Was that after that after that, even though were there
known targets
was that after the the Fort Hood shooting? Now the
Fort Hood shooting was a no no fun firearm thing. Let's see
when we're bitching about it, Dan. And you think by now the I
mean, if the guy's a Marine veteran of 15 years, he's in a
recruiting office. He knows how to handle a firearm he can wear
when they had the security guards at his joint. They've got
guns. I don't know if they've got bullets, but they got guns.
So as you know, there's just beyond me.
This happened during the Clinton era, probably with Army
regulations as an Army Regulation, quote, forbidding
military personnel from carrying their personal firearms on base.
And so this happened a long time ago. And it's an army right.
It's not a law. It's an Army Regulation. So that's it was
seems like all the armed services. It came down from
Congress or some law or the Secretary of Defense at some
point. Now. Eric can't have guns. Wait a minute. You're a
soldier trained? Do they think that everybody that they've
trained is trigger happy they did such a crappy job of
training? Is that what they're saying?
I don't understand that the
messages to me. Well, it sends you basic training. We do such a
crappy job. How crazy we can't trust him with a gun in Texas.
I can carry a revolver on my belt into Whole Foods under the
open carry law, but it's
the last time somebody Shut up a whole foods, a place that
deserves
Hey, man. Yeah, please shoot some people at Whole Foods.
Meanwhile, John McCain is although he did come out and
there was some stuff going on with Trump, which you can talk
about, but he is really working on this. Let's see. It's a
Senate Bill. It is 1735, I believe, and it changes the
acquisition provision. To let me see, here it is shifts milestone
decision authority for major acquisition programs. That means
buying big stuff that kills brown people in sandy areas,
from the office of the Undersecretary of Defense for
Acquisition Technology and Logistics and logistics, to the
military service acquisition executives. So you take it out
of this committee, and you give it to the to the to the buyers
directly. What Yeah, so major acquisition
sellers have given it to the sellers. No, because the
acquisition operation, yeah.
And so currently is at the office of Undersecretary of
Defense for Acquisition technology and logistics,
logistics, which is I think, has committee and that's a whole
process. It has oversight. Yeah. And they're sending and now
they're sending it to the military service acquisition
executives, right, which has
no oversight. Yeah,
I think it has zero talking
about a Defense Department that can't be audited. Even though
the new guy coming in the marine that's going to take over the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, he says are gonna auditing is priority
one. Yeah, right.
We're still waiting for the Pentagon audit.
It's not gonna happen. They can't do it. There's too many
days. They wasn't beyond you know, it's like, what's it not
September 10. Like going it's like having here's the best
analogy. You've got a terabyte drive, and you've been loading
stuff on it for the last 10 years. Now you have to go
through the terabyte drive, and take and take all the duplicate
files out by hand. What do you think that's even possible?
No. Real recalled September 10 2001. I believe it was
Rumsfeld who said yeah, we're missing $2 trillion. We can't
really find it. Right. And then it was 911 the next day. Yeah.
And all the records were crushed in. Oh, well, you know, building
seven how coincidence? What a coincidence. So McCain's on that
we could I wouldn't mind talking about the Donald Trump McCain
fractus
which had a clip of it.
Well, if you see he was in an interview. Here's Here's how it
started. McCain actually started in an interview, making real
trouble. And he said, let me see I have a quote here. And I wish
I wish he had said that we should have we had this on
audio.
Trump Yeah. Because these media guys, we should point out to
everyone, that these media reports are so twisted. They
love to take stuff out of context and make a story out it.
Well, the
thing is, McCain actually started this he actually I
wouldn't be surprised he's a troublemaker. He actually
started he said, Donald Trump's comments on immigration of
quote, fired up the crazies in the Republican Party. Oh,
actually, that sounds like I might have there is audio,
apparently. Let me see. I just found something that just came
in. If I download this real quick, hold on, we might be able
to play this. Ooh, nice. Hold on a sec. John. Just just came in.
I was looking for this. Okay, the wires, here we go. What he
did was he fired up. crazies, the crazies, which means, you
know, religious people. Yeah, it's an insult. Yeah, you fired
up the crazies,
Second Amendment, folks, Republicans.
So you're all crazy. And then, and I will say that what Donald
Trump came back and said, was interesting. And he said, Look,
you know, John McCain is a douchebag. I'm paraphrasing,
because that would have been really funny if he had said
that. And he said, You know, John McCain, not necessarily a
hero, like, like other soldiers. And when you look into McCain,
the war hero now he was held hostage prisoner of war for I
think five or six years,
I believe is last in his class or close to it, but he has
admitted
himself that he told the his captors if you take me to
hospital right now, I'll give you military information. He's
on record as saying this. I don't
know this. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But I do hear it.
You can have a couple of links in the show notes, some
reputable like the guardian or Washington Post later. Yeah.
Now, whether he did that or not, I don't know. But that he's on
record as saying that. What all of this brings to the forefront
is an interest. Well, first of all, here's, here's Trump, I
have him. He said something funny. He's always saying
something funny that I like about. This is really this is a
little off topic here talking about money that he is given to
politicians. He's supported the Hillary Clinton in the past when
she was running for senator. And he and he lays it out in such an
eloquent way.
I've been dealing with politicians all my life. I deal
with politicians on both sides. In fact, I get criticized
because I give to Democrats I give to Republicans, I've given
millions to each to kind of dismiss the ball as losers. I
think politicians are all talk no action. Nobody knows
politicians better than I do. I give a lot of money to Democrat
as a business person. Okay? For instance, I give to everybody,
everybody loves me. They will love me. I get criticized for
that. There's Oh, you gave money what you know, I'm a
businessman, I owe it to him, I owe it to my family. I owe it to
my company, my employees. I run a great company, and I've built
a great company, I have some of the greatest real estate assets
to get this, I have some of the greatest real estate assets in
the world. And,
and, you know, I'm, I'm, I get along with everybody. You have
to be able to do that if you're president, and you have to be
able to get along with Congress.
Right? He's saying he's saying a lot of things it makes sense.
And of course, if you follow the, the Facebook's, which I do,
you know, it's just one I have a lot of friends. I mean,
Facebook, friends, but people I know in real life and you know,
from MTV back in the day and you know, who's you know, all in on
this stuff. And the disparaging comments they're making about
Trump is it's it. It shows that they're, I guess, really afraid
of him. Now, we just have to take this guy down, just call
them out as a dick and a douchebag and a racist and a
hater and Bs as anything they can worse a Republican. And so
these are, of course, the people who are all in on Bernie, and
Bernie Sanders.
Bernie is a phenomena I told you.
Yeah, I have a couple of emails that I'd like to read from first
one here from let's see x y Zed. Adam. De I'm part of the lazy
millennial generation looking for a handout suckling the teat
when state offers one to me, I'm a worthless brainwashed iPhone,
zombie scum. In many ways, I'm Bernie Sanders target audience.
The first and last time I voted was 2008. I felt like such an
idiot for doing it all of us were taken for saps and that was
humiliating. You already know who I voted for.
This is true by the way that millennials do feel that Obama
they got gypped him leadership during Occupy Wall Street I
became an anarchist. Now I'm not sure what I'm what I am now
since every ideology feels like bullcrap there's exceptions for
everything. I
judge guy, he's getting a clue.
I had no intention of voting in 2016. I was going to watch these
eight holes tear tear each other to pieces on television. I hate
Hillary Clinton. I hate politicians in general. I don't
hate Bernie Sanders, though. I really like him. So now I'm not
only voting, I'm volunteering. The fact that this guy has been
shot on and marginalized and independent for decades gives
him credibility. I personally would prefer to see billionaires
face the guillotine, but I'll settle for taxing them when they
beg for mercy then taxing them again for twice as much. He
promises that and I have little doubt that will follow through
free college health care and a living wage sounds great too.
Oh, yeah. And a muzzle on asshole cops that I mentioned. I
hate cops. This is how the millennials think they've been
brought up this wait only one small generation my friends were
my mom told me you can always find a few in trouble. You need
help always find a cop now now that millennials have been been
raised to hate cops, and in some cases with good reason, but
certainly not across the board. His strategy clearly involves
torches and pitchforks at the end of the day, he knows they're
going to do everything they can to stop and this power is going
to come from the bottom up people power, possibly riot
power. This guy is dangerous. I wouldn't rule out riots. I
remember when Obama brought in every Wall Street executive to
the White House and said you know we're the we're the only
thing standing between you and the pitchforks right? Then
immediately began grinding down the teeth of that question to a
knob What a pussy. He should have made real threats waited
one day for him to cooperate and then started taking scalps.
Bottom line here is that I'd like to live in a country where
people don't feel like shit all the time. I'm tired of people
being scared by fascist propaganda. I'm tired of
listening to my friends complaining about working their
asses off and still barely scraping by. Do I think Bernie
will be the answer to our ills? Hell, no. We have to do this
ourselves. It's the idea of what he stands for. That's what we're
voting for. It's a twin cost. It's a coin toss really, whether
it'll hurt or help the cause for him to be assassinated by some
random yo Yabo. You know, there are people out there who was
seriously considering it if he gets anywhere close to
nomination. Anyway, this is a way moodier letter than I
expected. I'm just so sick of being cynical of everything. But
hey, that's Millennials for you. Anyway, don't be surprised if we
start throwing rocks, hail Apple love your show x y Zed. And then
I Bernie was at he spoke at an event. What was this? It was an
event that was being disrupted continuously by the Black Lives
Matter people. And if you know Bernie is a moron, I didn't
record all of this stuff. But he said, Well, I was told oh, a
good 214 minutes to talk about I can go away. But he was
completely moronic about it. But his opening line, his opening
line, even spoke to me.
So we will thank you very much for inviting me. Thank you.
Okay. We've got some serious things to talk about. We don't
have a whole lot of time. So what I'd like to do is just chat
for a while. Stop. And we're going to do a little bit of a
discussion, please. Here's the serious issue. We live in. We
live in a nation in which to a significant degree, media is
controlled by large multinational corporations. We
live in a nation in which 95% of talk radio is right wing,
including in areas where Republicans have almost no
support. We live in a nation in which conservative Republicans
own their own television network.
I guess he's talking about Fox, which as we know, is why it is
owned by the Democrats. But okay, Bernie, well, we
understand the facade, the work
that many of you do, in terms of blogging and on the internet is
extraordinarily important. Because you are presenting an
analysis of what goes on in America, and a vision of where
we should go that corporate media does not present and I
thank you very much.
He's talking about us, John, we present we provide the analysis.
So
yeah, I don't think he knows who we are.
Well, you know, we will be very important if the no agenda show
endorsed him. So but we will not make our endorsements known
until we're a little bit closer. Well, I won't endorse him
another email from Jimson. Hey, John C. Dvorak. he's onto
something. I'm 24 and very Democrat and every Democrat I
know under the age of 35 is all in on Bernie they quote him
discuss his events. Tune in to watch him on YouTube uploads a
Bill Maher, Liz Warren was talked about briefly But they've
all gone pro Bernie lately. They hate Hillary Clinton. There's
that same recurring theme and riff against her along with the
Conservatives whenever they can. The big sticking point seems to
be that she is a known liar to my age group because we all
remember her social views changing throughout our lives.
Millennials are particularly irked by her views on gays. To
most of us the gay issue isn't an issue. So Hillary being on
both sides of it and Obama, but they're less likely to throw him
under the bus is blatantly dishonest and exploitative.
Another millennial perspective. Most people I talked to joke
about moving to Canada if the race goes Bush against Clinton.
I don't know how I've done this. Okay, then there's just so well,
let's hope my thesis is correct for these folks. Well,
I have a few clips of your thesis. That would be Elizabeth
Warren. Right. And she spoke at the end Hillary's
just getting a huge war chest together so she can give it to
Warren Yep. So Warren will stay off the Clinton Foundation's
back for the for the duration. So
Elizabeth Warren spoke at the 2015 Netroots Nation, which
happened I guess just this past week. Did you see her speech?
No. Okay. I
did and I watched the whole thing
I'm Will I will add to my no with I've seen her speech, but
not that one. They're all the same, but go on. Right. And
this is without a doubt this is a presidential speech. But
here's what well there's a lot of things that bother me about
her. One of them one of them is she she she believes so in her
superstar status. She loves that she comes on stage and she's
like
she like just loves his President already.
Oh, and then you know she's talking about all the changes in
America listen to this this family
this what I said she's gonna be insufferable. She already is.
Oh,
it's it's she is so annoying. So annoying. But let's just listen
to what she thinks about how great we're doing. This is by
just listened to it and I will interrupt where appropriate.
This is family. This is family. So good morning, Netroots
Nation.
This is family this is families is a disgusting operation. Go
on. Why is it a disgusting operation? Because it just it's
it oozes this kind of full liberal creepiness that just
bugs me to no end agree. It just bothers me.
No, I agree. I agree. It's creepy. Creepy. Who runs that
outfit? Do we have we ever looked into that?
At some? That's a good question. What you're playing this I'll
look
that hard. Already, you know, I was getting I was getting ready
this morning. And it occurred to me, it has been exactly five
years since my first Netroots Nation. Golly, five years.
Golly,
golly, five years gives a crap than that. So in the golly, and
everyone's like,
okay, so much change.
So much change. John, what do you think the change is in our
country? What has our president our Democratic President brought
what change has he brought?
terrorism? Terrorism to on to Texas
much progress, much progress? We have a new consumer agency that
has forced banks to return more than $10 billion directly to
people they cheated?
Did you get any of that money?
This is bullcrap. Give it to the government. Yeah, they
gave it to us to the states and they spent it on workers and
whatever they spent I didn't get any of that. Yeah, yeah. Because
that's what she did right? Yeah. I fucking rock ditches
equal marriage in every state in the union.
Okay, hold on a second. Why do you have to do a gay yell?
That's uncalled for that just shows you how phony she is equal
marriage
equal marriage in every state in the
seasons that's her oh god insane she's so about man this you know
I'm telling you that people
have to at that point they will use that against her
that will that well they're gonna use something they like a
Howard Dean whoop our Dean yeah I can probably ISO and see we
can use it but it's so it's you know it is it's like she leaves
a parcel it goes right along with well, the people happiest
about equality in marriage at the federal level the United
States they're not gay. The people who are the happiest and
whoop it up all the time they're not gay stayed in the
positive that in the end love wins are
no excuse me. You're all wrong once you get married once you
sign that piece of paper back Just wondering love goes out the
door, Elizabeth, this is I speak from experience,
love, lose love, love loses
comprehensive health care reform all across this country. We're
getting there.
We're getting there not it's sucks and the premiums are going
up but we're going up and going up Medicaid is going to kill all
the states but okay. What else? What other great achievements we
have John, that we've mentioned,
the high speed rail,
Confederate flags coming down,
Confederate for change, and my friends, change is upon us.
Here's my
list a laundry list of all the stereotype, Democrat
progressive.
Her whole speech is America is progressive. I'm a progressive
America's progressive. She
is like major Miami let me the board of directors to the whole
board of directors is like, for example, Executive Director of
progressive Congress, or Darcy burner who's on the board. She's
also the executive dress director of progressive
congress.org. And she's the Honorary Chair of the more and
better Democrats pack. Counsel for a livable world's peace
pack.
By the way, I would like to mention, if you look at
Elizabeth Warren's campaign, we'll talk about a minute who
was financing her campaign or just financing her in general
but the Blitz let's find so we have we have what do we have the
money you didn't get $10 billion, which went to the
states and the state spent it however, they want
to get a nickel we had gay or a benefit gay marriage.
Then we had confederate flag. Then we had well health care,
kind of get in there working on it. Don't talk too much about
that confederate flag and then
that guy who was Senator from Massachusetts, five years ago
now sends round shirtless pictures of himself and sells
diet pills. Seriously.
Alex Jones was Senator from Massachusetts. Confused? Look it
up. Look it up. Look it up. It's real. Look it up. It's real.
Okay, okay. That's a lot of change.
Wow. Especially. Yeah, that's Wow, we are on change point tip.
Now she does something, which I'm happy she did it. Because
now she's opened herself up for all kinds of ridicule. And it's,
you know, I have always been a supporter of the target of not
for her politics, but for her, just as a human being. And me
when anyone who wants to run for public office deserves some
credit. And she does something so I'm so low. That I'm happy
she did it because now she herself is open to ridicule. And
of course, I will be happy to ridicule her. All her personal
traits, the way she looks, the way she walks the way she talks.
Everything because of this one clip along with
raising the minimum wage, social security, climate change,
marriage equality, Wall Street reform. It was a very long list.
But if you weren't with us in Detroit, don't worry. Sarah
Palin did a fascinating line by line analysis of the whole thing
on YouTube. Deep
because she's stupid, she's stupid.
Well, I would like to have something a little more solid
than that. Well,
let's talk about Donald Trump. And let's see what she says
about him. What do you think she has to say about Donald Trump?
He's an idiot. The Democrat main meme is he's a clown. Ah, okay.
And it sure as heck shouldn't take poll numbers to night us in
our determination to build a future for all of our children.
That's right. Now, look, look, House Republicans may still want
to fly the Confederate flag. And Republican leaders make power in
the shadow of Donald Trump. I think she
just said he's a racist. I think that's pretty much what she just
said. That he's that she's,
I wish I would like to have net roots. Explain why they have all
white faces on their board of directors.
But the American people understand that black lives
matter and America is not a country that stands for racism,
bigotry.
I reiterate. Yeah. Where's the black people on your board? Like
people on your board or brown people or yellow people or green
people or
anything? No Asians? Well, yeah, I'm just gonna say you're right.
There's nothing but
Yup, yup, yup. Yup. Iraq, I kick ass. Alright. And then the final
one here. This was a I didn't get the she was much he did a
lot more than the 2014 speech she did. In fact, I actually
recorded a whole bunch of, of clips first was from the 2014
speech. I couldn't believe my house,
by the way, just looked at the staff and net routes. Not a
black not a black face. Face. No Asians. Yeah.
Racist group. Yeah, racist. It didn't just as just like
Hollywood, with the Academy Awards, no black people,
little sexist, too. They get like, you know, six women and
three men, I think,
Oh, there you go. All of the women that don't like the smart
says, you know,
when the insiders are so far out of sync with the American
people, how can they keep calling the shots? How do they
keep the game rigged? Ah, well, I'll tell you, a big part of it
is money. You said it right Money, money, money, money for
campaigns, money for PACs, but money for so much more money to
hire armies of lobbyists and lawyers, money for PR firms and
trade associations to sell a message money for think tanks to
give the cover of respectability for genuinely ugly ideas, money
that flows like a river through Washington money that rushes
everywhere sweeping along as much as a card and threatening
to drown anything or anyone that gets in its way.
Yeah, let's take a look at who's been sending money to her
according to opensecrets.org Harvard University, of course,
right up there because she's so outspoken about the about
federal loans, student loans. So of course, they want to get in
on a good side and make sure that she does support loans.
MIT, of course, Boston University she and she's got all
of the all of the top universities here then she has
Massachusetts General Hospital, the University of California Oh,
and then brown Rudden University
of California again, and then brown gave a million dollars to
Obama. They call me up all the time. And they stopped calling
the last time they called it was which was a while ago, I said I
would be glad to give you money to support the you know, as
alumni association, wherever it was somebody that usually a
freshman girl, but if you can give Obama $1 million for why
you don't need my money. And the girls don't know they don't they
always you don't need my 10 bucks or whatever they're
looking for. And so the girl says to me, yeah, I know what
you mean.
Well, what I thought was interesting is you look at in
her top 10 of donors, we have brown, Rudnick, ropes and gray
and Thorton noms. These are three of the most successful and
biggest antitrust law firms that defend banks when it comes to
antitrust and other shenanigans. So they are they are supporting
her directly. She should rescind this she should send the money
back that she should and she doesn't. And no one ever looks
into this stuff. It's it also means Levin. What else do we
have here? Burger montages? Bring them and McCutchen these
are all lobbyists. She's taking money from lobbyist. She's just
chill. But what's interesting if you took Warren and Sanders
together, together with their message, they are there pretty
much George Carlin. I have I have I have the clip from George
Carlin we talks about the game is rigged about the money. You
want to hear it?
Yeah, the reason for this is a reason education sucks. It's the
same reason that will never, ever, ever be fixed. It's never
going to get any better. Don't look for it. Be happy with what
you got. Because the owners of this country don't want that.
I'm talking about the real owners now. The real owners, the
big wealthy business interests that control things and make all
the important decisions. Forget the politicians that politicians
are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of
choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners, they
own you. They own everything. They own all the important land.
They own and control the corporations. They've long since
bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses
the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets.
And they own all the big media companies. So they control just
about all of the news and information you get to hear they
got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year
lobbying, lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what
they want. They want more for themselves and less for
everybody else. But I'll tell you what they don't want. They
don't want a population of citizens capable of critical
thinking they don't want well informed well well educated
people capable of critical thinking that I didn't You
didn't. That doesn't help them. That's against their interests.
That's great. They don't want people who are smart enough to
sit around the kitchen table to figure out how badly they're
getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking
years ago, they don't want that. You know what they want. They
want obedient workers, obedient workers, people who are just
smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just
dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier
jobs with the lower pay the longer hours to reduce benefits,
the end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that
disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they're
coming for your Social Security money, they want your fucking
retirement money, they want it back, so they can give it to
their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know, some
they'll get it, they'll get it all from you sooner or later,
because they own this fucking place. It's a big club, and you
ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club. By the way.
It's the same big club that used to beat over the head with all
day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beat
you over the head in their media telling you what to believe what
to think and what to buy. The table is tilted folks, the game
is rigged. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care.
Good, honest, hard working people white collar blue collar
doesn't matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest, hard
working people continue. These are people of modest means
continue to elect these rich cock suckers who don't give a
fuck about that. They don't give a fuck about you. They don't
give a thought about you. They don't care about you at all, at
all, at all. And nobody seems to notice nobody seems to care.
That's what the honors count on the fact that Americans will
probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red white
and blue dict it's being jammed up their assholes every day.
Because the owners of this country know the truth. It's
called the American dream. Because you have to be asleep to
believe it
all right. Yeah, that's pretty much what they're gonna pitch.
Yeah. They're both phonies. phony baloney. These phony
baloney he's big phony baloney. He's Yeah,
I got a letter. This is an interesting one. Is that the
anonymous with this is an anonymous donor that sent a
check. It says here's another donations on her bucks.
reflecting upon the Rachael dole is all in you remember her?
Oh, yes. The the black woman the black, black, white, black
woman, black woman's story, which went away overnight. That
story just disintegrated overnight.
I just as often wall and I when I read is it? It's a good one. I
believe that this was publicized to to lay the groundwork for
Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign. It was introduced the
concept of the trans ratio person to the American public.
Elizabeth Warren's an Indian Yeah, oh, remember wars dubious
claim of being a native Qantas Pocahontas war and honest with
you. We just dropped you should pick that back up. My theory is
that this century goes on with this saying this is just a test
run. That's why it got so much publicity, because in most
instances, who cares? Right, right. Here's a woman wearing a
little too much makeup. Yeah, that sounds like a good one. But
yeah, this all leads up to Elizabeth Warren.
I agree. I agree. And they had signs professional signs that
said run Liz run and they had chant and go on run this run,
run, Liz Run Run is run right.
And she's going to be a disaster. She'll be the worst
president ever and it will be right in the throes of the
economic downturn. She won't know what to do about it. She's
gonna just
be trolled. Bernie is a independent, correct? Yes. But
he's running as a Democrat.
Oh, could we not have a Warren Sanders ticket?
No, she's she's a Democrat.
He's in what is he? A Democrat? Right. So couldn't they
couldn't?
Oh, you mean that oh, one of Sanders. VP exact. Well, she
would have to be the president because there's no way she had
no woman anymore. He's gonna run for vice president. And
President he'd be the vice president the Senate that
actually be right. I don't know what else she could pick. Who
else would she pick for vice president? Joe? No. Well,
there's two bosses who come in they've dumped the bosses of the
Democrat party in the CIA. They'll come in there and
they'll have a meeting where they're said look, you can't run
Yeah, you can't write you can't run with this guy's vice
president. We need to get a little more variety in here and
so they're gonna make a pick some I don't know. Probably a
Latino from no right. How
about No, how about one of the the Castro brothers from Texas?
Oh, those guys are great. Yeah, one of
those guys so perfect. And yeah, and I think one of them's
already been kind of pre vetted as a potential VP, hasn't it?
Yeah. Roll, I think. Roll, roll.
Yeah, that would be a good,
good one. I'd be good. Whatever. They're funny Republicans
are gonna win. So it doesn't make any difference.
I'm happy Donald Trump is still in the race is still on the just
on the
boat. He's gonna be some surprisingly, he's the head in
the polls. Not everyone's predicting. Oh, well, you know,
it's because this was I read it really funny. I think it was in
the New York Times a funny article describing him as being
a media, darling. And it's only immediate bump that he's got
isn't that these high numbers as the most popular, you know, the
highest poll numbers.
He knows how to do it. He said, But this
guy claims is just the media wants the media gets tired of
him, which then never will. That's the joke of it. But once
they get tired of his numbers will fall and fall and fall.
He's at his peak. The guy from The New York Times claims he's
at his peak right now.
Okay. I don't think so. I don't think so either. I think he's
just getting started. Well, I love listening to him. I love
watching him. I think it's hilarious.
And people if they don't like Trump, they don't have a sense
of humor. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. He's a clown.
You recall the President was he sang Amazing Grace at the AME.
Yes. Now I have it here that grace is close. If we can tap
that grace, everything can change. Amazing Grace, Amazing
Grace, singing grace. I hear that a me. See? Valerie Jarrett
was at the Aspen Institute. And she spoke about this. Now you'll
recall that the way I deconstructed this this was set
up way in advance. They they flubbed it because he started
talking about Amazing Grace. And the band started playing and
saying the whole thing
was the queue, the queue was off,
the queue was off. So I said this was all pre planned, he
knew exactly what was what he was going to do. And here's
Valerie Jarrett, the true President of the United States,
confirming what I said. So there's a little history
about the president and singing. The first time he sang, those of
you might remember, he came out and he sang a little Al Green,
and it went over amazing. I think people didn't know he had
such a good voice. Well, I will confess to you that I was the
voice backstage, when he was being egged on by the electrical
engineers who were doing the sound work for the show.
Does she mean during rehearsals or something like that? Probably
right. During soundcheck,
same thing. And I said, Don't sing, don't think please,
whatever you do, don't sing. And of course, he sang. And it went
over very well. So as we were on our way in the helicopter, I
love
we were on the way and a helicopter was a copter
to Andrews, the morning of the service. We were talking about
the speech and the First Lady hadn't hadn't read the speech
yet. And so he said, and when I get to the second part of TA of
referring to Amazing Grace, I think I might sing.
So that's where the miscue came from. It was well known he was
going to sing it the second part, and then somehow someone
queued the band incorrectly.
And he looked at me like don't say, Don't sing because you saw
what happened last time. He said that. And so I said him. And so
the first lady said, why on earth would that fit in? And so
he started to explain, and he said, I don't know whether I'm
going to do it. But I just wanted to warn you, too, that I
might sing. And he said, we'll see how it feels at the time.
And from the first time he started to speak, the church was
clearly with him. And there was a lot of yeah, you take your
time, Mr. President. Yeah, that's right. And slow down. And
I feel you and all the things that you get in a black church,
and so he knew they were with him. And so those of you watched
it, you probably saw that he paused for a minute, right
before he sang. So later I said to him, were you thinking about
whether or not to sing? He said, Oh, no, I knew I was gonna sing.
I was just trying to figure out which key to sing. Along leg
magnetic.
That's right. So for themselves, their cells for the
Aspen Institute, and there's one for you. All right. That's where
Walter Isaacson that's the operation he runs while writing
these huge books constantly. How does he do it? I don't know. I
don't
do people got time. Sorry. I said people got time. They got
more hours in the day than I do. They got
Yeah, no kidding. No kidding.
Probably staffs at Langley Help. And we needed a staff at
Langley. We get a lot more work done.
A lot of people wrote in about our Caitlyn Jenner theorem. Oh
yeah, that we believe this is bogus and it's just being set up
as part
of the as you did manipulating the media and the public. So
check
this out from Radar Online. Regarding the ESPN awards, I'll
read this verbatim. ESPN has come under fire for awarding
Caitlyn Jenner the prestigious Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the
ESPYs Wednesday night. But Radar Online has learned it wasn't
initially their idea according to an insider generous reps
approach the network that would be Kris Jenner, suggesting she
received the award and offering PR plugs in her upcoming Docu
series in return. Now, who owns ESPN John Disney? Who owns Okay,
what else does Disney own ABC and where do we know ABC from
who works at ABC,
one of the operators from the Obama administration
about Diane Sawyer, so they this whole thing was a whole setup.
They said, We'll give you ABC Disney will give you everything
give the exclusive a Diane Sawyer, but then we want the
award from the ESPYs. This is brilliant. This is what goes on
constantly. Yeah, but the public should be aware of this. Thank
you for mentioning it. Yeah. Yeah, it's a scam.
They gave the whole thing to Disney.
Disney behind the whole thing. Probably having Yes, probably as
a quid pro quo. I'm sure he's going to, because it's really
it's hard to say we I mean, the ESPYs did get a lot of
attention. And it was run instead of normally it gets run
on ESPN. But now it was on ABC network. Of course. They've got
big play because they wanted to watch it was so boring. And then
I was I was watching this other thing. I don't know if I
mentioned this, but this guy was mature was is that he was either
on. No, he was on Olbermann. One of his buddies is a writer used
to be a writer on an album has been fired. Which you know, he
doesn't want from ESPN. Yeah, he works for ESPN. But he they got
him buried on the ESPN too, and he couldn't get any ratings. And
so he's, you have to really go out of your way to find him. But
he has his friends on the shoot to shit all the time. And this
guy comes on who's a guest one of the writers for Letterman for
a long time. And he did a lot of freelance work for the network's
and he used to write for the ESPYs until 1999. And apparently
the ESPYs which were just a minor thing, they were no big
deal. They always had these comedy writers in the show.
Apparently it was hilarious comedy writers. Yeah. It showed
he said and then all of a sudden in 1999 or 2000 is especially
when Will Ferrell came on and did a bunch of material and it
was always about ribbing the athletes which are people that
could deserve a you know a good right you know, they're saying
yes, a good ribbing. It the powers that be at Disney
decided, you know, we're tired of ridiculing the athletes,
we've no more comedy. And since 2000, or they've just been a
serious show. And if you watch it, it's it's boring. It's
terrible show anyway, so a little anecdote there for you
out there that wonders what what's going on behind the
scenes. Your turn?
Oh, well, I I had something I just wanted to discuss. I was I
was reading an article about Uber last night, and you know
how of course like it, hate it, whatever. Whatever the case. The
taxi business was a crappy ass shitty business. That sucked
balls around the world. And it's been completely disrupted by
this is actually a pretty simple concept.
Forget it again, I throw an anecdote in. My wife was in town
to for my daughter's birthday. We're hanging out she went to
after dinner I we all went to dinner. And then Jay and my son
JC he likes these. He works in the city in San Francisco and he
knows all the bars. So he's going to take the J and
everybody out bar hopping for a while. So I decided no is the
night before the show. You have a show to do you cannot gotta
show do I have to go home and I gotta go out drinking. So I went
home and Mimi had set it up so she didn't have to worry about
driving. So she took Uber back now and all she did was rave
about Uber. Oh this is so much better is it is not Pucallpa she
then she tells me stories about when she was in San Francisco
and puke cars and shit she says one time she was in the city and
there and her friend. She says what it says is a four sticky
she looks down she's standing in puke nice. And the cab driver
says I yeah, I know. You didn't care All right. So let's say
that's the premise.
Exactly. Now, let's take Uber. And I'm just going to tell you
that this whole ride sharing part, that's a huge red herring.
And that's the piece that is tossed throw away, it's really
about the, you know, the Uber X, the black, the XL, there's a
different have a whole bunch of different brands for it. But
it's, it's really about organizing professional drivers.
And of course, bringing in some people who want to be a
professional driver. And you know, you have different levels,
that you have to have vehicle maintenance, etc, that you have
to adhere to, then in some countries and some cities,
you'll have to have a livery license. So they're really doing
something good, which is streamlining the process. Now.
So I was thinking, here's a billion dollar idea, John, you
want to write this down, because then another thing we will not
do?
Okay, another great, I got a special page first, for great
ideas, great ideas ever do. Now we
have a lot of professionals in the field I'm about to talk
about who listened to this program. And I'm just looking at
the landscape. And I'm thinking with all of these individuals
who being they are being squeezed out of the system,
because they can't make money the way the new system was set
up. I think it's time for an Uber for medical care. And hear
me out on this. We have doctors, we have nurses we have and that
you either work for the one of the big three health companies,
or you're pushed out with all the regulations you pushed out.
Now what if because I think if you're a doctor, you can
practice as a doctor. And if you if you have a medical near your
license, you practice your license, you have a medical
need, you can look on the app, find a doctor who's available
nearby, and then click and then you know, they'll charge you
normal prices, they house Doll's House, how you could do house
calls, they will have a very transparent pricing. Look, you
know, sometimes you have to go in the hospital and things have
to happen. But we could even have clinics set up this way.
I'm telling you, there is a market for Uber for medicine,
for medical cannabis. What
I think we should do this, we wouldn't have to do it for long,
because we get bought out by one of the biggest, the biggest held
one of those health operations.
This is this is a billion dollar idea at the end, because all you
do is you Hey, I'm a nurse practitioner of nurse
practitioner can do all kinds of you know, can administer things.
They're all over the place. And but you could just have simple
transparent pricing. Things that make sense. Yeah, house calls if
you want. It might actually work.
Well, it's not that it's a simple process to set it up.
It's kind of self administered, right. All right, I'm in.
Okay, well, I'll send over the paperwork later.
I'm going to show my son move by donate to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
One second, J hjh. In the chat room. If you say it already
exists, and you put that in all caps, and you keep repeating it.
Would you please tell me what it's called this app where it
already exists? You do snorkel?
You in the chat room? You in the chat room? Yeah. All right.
Let's take a few people. Trevor. Oh, and in Los Angeles,
California. 12345. He says this brings me a bit closer to
knighthood. Gmail at both John's emails through while you went on
about the details of the mail, can't believe John answered, oh,
he calls me out of the blue. He says hello. I said Yeah, hello
is this I said, Who's this? Really I hate it when people
send a phone. That's great. And then as as usual, when anyone
makes it, I this happens to me about once every six months,
they realize that there's really nothing to talk about. Click
firm that I pick up.
People that come into town and like, Hey, I'm gonna be in town
Thursday. How about right after the show? So first of all, no,
no, I'm not gonna do anything after the show except sleep and
wallow in my own crap. Then there'll be nothing to talk
about.
No, yeah, to view a view that you find. We have found a few
guys that are part of the show, who are extreme, you know, like
super techies or they are there. They got some thing going on.
Most people. They're there. I don't know. There's a lot of
them get kind of starstruck. Yeah. And that's no buddy should
ever do that. Anyway, this is my thinking. But so he calls and he
realizes there's not that time. He says, Okay, well, thanks for
talking by goodbye. Like,
I will say the etiquette and sometimes I'll say I rarely pick
up the phone if it doesn't show the name but they're there for
That number is not known in my, in my database, but sometimes
you know, pick it up and then No, it's like Hello. Like, is
this Adam curry? I'm like fuck you. Would you play the
etiquette is Hi I'm so and so may I please speak to Adam. It's
Adam curry a fuck you. That's so rude. Yes
say the sales guy it's so rude.
It's so rude and say Who's this? Looking for Adam curry fuck you.
Sorry just pisses me off.
Yeah, you shouldn't like to cut. It's it's true.
There was a cool guy with Tourette's on the street the
other day. I tried to stop him
because he had those cussing. Y'all are one of those who's
also waving
his arms like he'd look at you go and he's waving his arms like
he's like, is it like a raptor? And and I want and I turned
around cuz he walked right but hey, buddy, and he was off. I
feel like I wanted to say hey, man, it's cool, man. It's all
right. Do some more.
I think it's social anxiety causes that breakout. Oh, yeah,
I had that happen. I felt so bad for this guy. I think I've told
us on the show before but I was on an air flight and first class
Yeah, I remember in some Tourette's guy comes on. And
he's like so at such a nervous wreck that he's dragging his
rolling bag backwards. jerking around, he's jerking around, bom
bom bom terrorists bomb. He never did that. But he kept you
just mumblings and saying stuff to do with awkward, and they
took them off the plane. Ah, I just feel bad for the guy who
was it? Guess it would have been annoying if it was a long
flight. But I don't know. It's just like a terrible situation.
Anyway, just go on now. No, we did have a few people 123456789
A total of nine well wishers.
Oh, this was for Welcome back. Yeah, welcome
back. But first time you also mentioned Sabine Trumpler, who
gave 9999. And she's in Deutschland. And she says thanks
for all the work you do. Please send a birthday shout out. And
we have Samuel butter Rick's on the list. And something I
was seeing. And she's from Deutschland. And she did the
nine or nine or nine or nine. Sure she wanted that?
Oh, yes. I'm sure she did not you mention it. So let's start
with the $74. well wishers it was on the newsletter at the PS
number one, which most people don't get to. That's why by the
way, for people who read the newsletter, I usually put us a
little donate to the show pitch at the beginning of the
newsletter. And I is because that you if you don't put it at
the beginning, most people won't read the whole news. I don't
know if people won't read anything. And so if it has to be
right at the top, otherwise they just don't read. I've noticed
this that if you don't do that nobody donates. Of course or a
situation where they don't donate anyway. James Niemeyer in
Tulsa, Oklahoma. He's memorized some profanities on there for

All right here we have a this was an idiot in Congress. Only
one. Well, he's one of the dumbest ones I've ever heard.
And you can tell why he's a provincial moron. He sounds like
a dumb he's named me Buddy Carter like you Georgians out
there must be proud of yourself to have a guy Buddy Carter. So
you'd be your congressman from Savannah. All right.
So you're you're You're no better than the Macon farmer the
system stupid to tenant Tennesseans?
That's true. I'm not I'm no better. I'm no better. No, but I
know. You've got to get that straight. So here's the guide.
And the reason I want to play this clip, besides it being the
stupidest questions I've ever heard. And he and he has to
admit to certain things while he is discussing, asking questions
of the guy who is the chief, the head of the US Marshal Service
are being grilled in Congress. And this guy has a few things to
say. Now he he's the reason we're getting to this is that he
represents the kind of thinking Congress has so when God notices
before, sometimes you travel, and you come back from and you'd
get my mother was like this. Why did you travel? Why? What's
wrong with this country? Wow, really had a meeting.
Your mom would say this. What your mom would say this? Yes.
Why did you travel? Yeah. John Charles, why did you travel?
What's wrong with this country? Yeah. Wow. The Chinese are
stealing all the toilet paper.
Yeah, that too. Let's you may have been on to some with the
toilet paper. But let's play the idiot. Disgusting cartel? Yeah,
this will be number one. The first Yeah, just anybody.
Carter.
It's my understanding that many countries assess a fee or a tax,
if you will. On airlines whenever we have a passenger
from the US landing in their country, is that is that true?
Now you have to understand I'm not traveled much. In fact, I
said before this committee yesterday that I've only been to
two countries in my life, and that was Texas. And Mexico swim
more now wanted to go to but but so I'm asking you a second. One
more. I wanted to go to one more than I wanted to go to this is
not a guy who should be representing anybody.
Oh, he's Wow. Well, he's a representative. So maybe he's
representative of Georgia.
Georgia. Yeah. Play playing go to but but
so I'm asking you is that true? Congressman, I'm not aware of
that. Um, the way I understand it, and what I understand is
that the airlines are having to absorb this fee because the
federal air marshals don't compensate for it. So whenever
they are flying over there from when it's my understanding that
the airlines are having to absorb this fee and that's just
something I need to understand need and inquire about.
I'll provide you a follow up on that was like $20 or something.
What's the problem? I
know that there's any fee at all. Bill into the ticket? I
think there is the body is the referring landing fee for the
for the mouse for the aircraft, but I believe he's referring to
the passenger information database or something that there
may be some surcharge.
I've no idea and what difference does it make if the air marshal
gets in for free? I mean, give me a break. This guy's a moron.
So let's play the second part where here's where stitcher
wasted occurred where I guess some air marshals had to go to a
different airport. And so they put them on the plane and they
all end up in first class. Supposedly, this may not even be
a true story because it was only seats that were available to the
way I see it. But here's the way this guy talks about it. Can you
provide
to us how often your your employees are flying first class
and how often they're fine? I'll be quite honest, I flew first
class one time and that was really not by choice. That was
the only seat they had available when I was with my family and my
three sons got the fight and about who's going to sit in
first class and finally I've resolved it by sitting there
myself. So that was the only reason I was really fine. First
class I'm just wondering why the air marshals have gotten to five
first class
okay,
this is your representative a congressman.
I have figured out the fee then I now I remember what it is.
Okay. Once you we have the open skies agreement all this and
they added in a provision that when you are flying into Europe,
you have to have a per fast per passenger carbon fee surcharge
Guess how much this exorbitant fee is per person? But $3
Oh, well it's a shame that the air marshals aren't paying their
own three bucks Mr. skank right away Hold on. Let me get this
straight Hold on one second. You wild I'm doing these clips,
looked it up and found the fee. Yeah, three bucks and this
stupid Congressman couldn't look past the ask the guy and he
wants to he wants a special report he wants he wants to
waste this guy's time when he has a staff in his office in
Washington DC that could have looked this up for him. What a
douche. This guy is Buddy Carter vote him out. Indeed. Anyway, I
just get this annoying to watch the you watch some of this
stuff, especially the lesser the subcommittee's on C span. And
there's guys like this crop up all the time. Just a dummy.
Yeah.
Yeah, morons morons. There was I didn't realize this. But when I
heard this clip, or I read about this next clip, I was surprised
I'd seen postings about this physicist Dr. IVR. Gavin Java, I
think their way is pronounced visa Nobel Prize winner, Nobel
Prize winning physicist. And he was one of my looks like it's
how many maybe 50 PhDs who put a an advertisement in Time
magazine after on November 19. President Elect Barack Obama
said and I quote because it's I'm looking at the PDF of the
ad. a, quote, few challenges facing America and the world are
more urgent than combating climate change. The science is
beyond dispute. And the facts are clear. And their ad and
these are guys from the University of Alaska, University
of Pennsylvania, Kansas, British natural association, University
of Oklahoma. These are all PhDs, every single one has a PhD.
Their response at the time was, of course, I'd never even saw
it, you know, climate change, but I'm kind of thinking about
it back then. big bold letters. With all due respect, Mr.
President, that is not true. We the undersigned saw undersigned
scientists maintain that the case for alarm regarding climate
change is grossly overstated. surface temperatures change
surface temperature changes over the past century have been
episodic and modest, and there's been no net global warming for
over a decade now. after controlling for population
growth and power and property values. There has been no
increase in damages from severe weather related events. The
computer models forecasting rapid temperature change
objective objectively failed to explain recent climate behavior.
Mr. President, your characterization of the
scientific facts regarding climate change and the degree of
certainty informing the scientific debate is simply
incorrect. So what was interesting is this guy was
speaking at a conference recently, and of all the global
warming of anti globe, manmade global warming or climate
change. standpoints or what what what I? What's the word? I'm
looking for positions position? Yes. Or the reason or position
Chanel's rationale? Well, he's going to tell us that climate
change is bullcrap. But he does it in a way that I thought was,
to me, it was just the mind blown.
So here he is. Now what I worry about very much is the
conference going to be in Paris in November? And I really worry
about that. Because where the conference was in in Copenhagen,
that almost became a disaster, but nothing got decided. But now
I think the people who are alarmist, I'm very strong
physician. And so the Physical Society always had made up their
mind. So I don't have to worry about them. But the facts are
that in the last 100 years or so we have measured the temperature
has gone up point eight degrees, and everything in the world has
gotten better.
Yeah, now you're talking. So the he'll tell you how much better
it's gotten. So point eight degrees, almost one degree, I
believe he's talking Celsius centigrade, then of course,
we've all We're all worried about the two degree increase.
So he says, Yes, temperature has gone up in the past 100 years by
point eight degree, and everything's just been better.
So how can I say it's gonna get worse? When we have the evidence
that if it's true that they can mesh at least they believe it?
When the temperature gone up, point and agree, everything we
live longer, we have better word better health better everything.
One other point eight degrees, we're going to die, I guess. And
I say this to Obama. Excuse me, Mr. President, if you're wrong,
he is dead wrong. And I said that once. I was part of an ad
in a Time Magazine, and I said the same thing. Because he he, I
think Obama is a clever person. But he gives bad advice at a
global warming his all vent. See, I would say that the global
warming basically is a non problem. Just leave it alone
take care of itself.
Nobel Prize winning physicist.
Well sure makes the wine in the Okanagan Valley up in BC a lot
better.
That's just one of the many things one of the many other
ones
German wines have improved substantially. And everyone
credits that the global warming.
Fantastic.
All right. Well, that's the good news. That's the good. That's a
different way of approaching it. Yeah.
I'm just going to guess that you want this. On my phone. Time now
for tech news. It's up everybody. That's where the tech
horny go off and do the little shows. And we here on the best
podcasting universe. Talk about real issues of technology.
You got some way cliffie Thinking of net neutrality. Oh,
yeah. This was a caught. There were there was a discussion on
one of the channels, one of the cable channels. And they use
this is an example of the argument for taking doing
something about you know, by promoting net neutrality. I was
just stunned because there was Molly woods. Oh, on NBC, they
asked her a question about all this net neutrality fuss. And I
listen to this, I went oh, there it is. There's your classic
answer. We wanted we it's not broken. Let's fix it.
This is more about preventing a problem than it is about fixing
an existing problem for consumers.
Absolutely. It's about saying, look, there's every possibility
of problems developing and we want to stop that before it
happens. And I think that's an absolutely fair thing to say.
It's called pre crime, Molly.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with the way the networks are
operated. But it could be something could happen something
bad could potentially Yeah, give it over to the FCC to ruin it.
Yeah. isn't a matter of time before. It's pretty crap. We'll
get our podcasting license. Sure. We'll jump grandfathered
in. Yeah,
we'll jump through all the hoops for sure. Was that it? Was that
your tech news?
Yeah, it was just a throwaway. I got 99 glitches
into the glitch, and put a Gauci on there, will you
only good phones a landline, and the phone should be made out of
Bakelite?
There you go, brief tech news, but sometimes there's just not
enough to talk about then we just make it very short would
have been the shortest even we're talking about to be honest
about it. I thought you had some nice net neutrality I thought
there was
no I was just one of those. I throw these occasional clips on
the list. Just add people don't realize how this shows actually
produced. But you sometimes you put stuff done just on the off
chance. It comes up in the content, then you got them. You
got the kicker and the other guy, either him or me, Adam or
myself. We go wow, what a great clip that come off to prove my
point or disprove Right? Very rarely. Actually, I
did kind of have a tech thing, but I'll just mention it here.
I've been following the Reddit saga With initially the the
woman who was who Ellen No, no, no, the woman who managed all of
the many things and she got fired and then everyone freaked
out. And now this the whole conversation if you follow it
has become war women are targeted specifically on the
internet. And this Ellen Pao was saying, Oh, yes, I was affected
much more because I'm a woman and the trolls are winning the
battle for the Internet and it was all it's all about the
trolls are always Oh, talk about the trolls and people don't
understand. You do not have to deal with it. You don't have to
use Twitter to publish you don't have to use Facebook to publish
you don't have to use Reddit. Too many other ways. You get it
word. You get an install of some forum software
is a million things you can do. Yeah, these complaints are no
people always. I'm sorry. We were talking about this over the
dinner table JC and Jesse and whoever else was here. And JC
believes that she was brought in as a hatchet man. And this was
all planned. Oh, I totally totally agree. So they brought
her in let her become the hatchet man and to to straighten
out read it so it'd be could become an advertising vehicle
since Conde Nast owns it and become an advertising vehicle.
That is
and people didn't like it? Of course, like it is brand
you know, say has to be brand safe. Yeah. So you get rid of
all these things that everyone does things blow themselves up
and get rid of the one woman who is you know, having a lot to do
with that success. And then Ellen pot then you let you know,
things started to die. You know, you're starting to learn to bail
out so then you fire as planned. Ellen
Pao was always she was always interim, she was always there
temporary,
she was always interim and so the fire her and then everyone
saw they got rid of the evil witch, we can all go back. And
now that whole thing is set up for advertising, right? This is
the corrupt the corruption of advertising and people
are losing their collective shit. Like you didn't know this
was going to happen seriously. Please. Stupid. The you don't
have to you don't have to do that. We we don't use anybody.
We have our own stuff set up. We have people volunteering, void
zero, running and running everything for us very cost
effective. Thank goodness.
Yes, you can run your own emails via Gmail nation's
well this is that you don't need your own
union. By the way. If people want me to stop moaning and
groaning about those donations, it's easy fix. You know what to
do. Yeah, exactly. The right that org slash and a I think I
forgot to mention that. Exactly. Yeah. I think we are the modern
media. Postmodern postmodern, where the postmodern media.
Yeah, they don't have a studio. No. Well, we have separate
studios, but there are
their bedrooms. What I got spare bedrooms, no studios, not a big
deal. My daughter when she stays over has to sleep underneath the
studio desk.
Oh, that's a shame.
That's what it is. Nevermind. Oh, no, that was the last
marriage.
I got used to sleeping on the couch. And so I kind of enjoy
it.
But the thing is, people have to we had this with the with the
lock on distribution, where we had literal gatekeepers who
determined what would go where now that that has fallen by the
wayside. And they're all They're all these new models and ways of
making it happen. Now, we're never going to be rich off of
the show. Never ever ever had a million we will die before we
ever even come close to getting where we say hey, that's working
out well, but that's okay. That That to me is the new economy.
Trailblazers will Yeah, we will Trailblazers always get burned
here. But in the new models, and I just got Vonda Shepards new CD
ifI helped her funder studio session you're got a nice little
note, you know, I like her she's a good artist and she couldn't
get a label to do anything and she said she did a Kickstarter
fine then I got this thing yesterday a bit empty my mailbox
Like hey, what is this and see the answer is no to Adam. Thanks
for the support. Hope you enjoy your written on the CD cover
loved Vonda, Shepard and she's not going to get rich off of
that. But she's able to make what you want her product. And
you know, she couldn't sustain herself. So we're sustaining her
name out there. Then of course at the end we're we're
sustaining we're hobbling along.
In this case, hobbling. Sure. Hey,
we got the ugly sticks out. Roblin for sure today to keep
pleased I bottom line continue to prove that this works so
other people can do it. I don't think we can end the show
without talking briefly about Iran.
Well I've got a couple of things. You got some
backgrounders. Well, I don't have that didn't get a
background or we know what's going on. I think everyone's got
the background most of it. But there was one little tidbit. I
thought it was entertaining. And I got the tidbit. You know the
guy that's with Carrie is that is that character with different
the long hair that physicist? Yeah, the font. The MUFON? Guy?
I can't remember his name offhand.
Yeah, but doesn't matter. MUFON guy, he.
They were standing all the people from Russia and everyone
that was involved in these talks. We we made a salary. We
did everything. And there's negotiations and he was there.
With carries carries side guy. Yeah, he's his wing man. The guy
if he's five foot tall, it's a miracle.
Oh, man. He's He's also short.
He's unbelievably short. He's not even short. Well, let
me tell you, I find because of his shortcomings and his wacky
hair, I find him interesting. This is
a very smart guy. He's very smart. So various now Smarty is
to AI. What is the name of this clip?
Iran deal and wine cellar?
Yes. Listen to this little story.
He is much worse at this point. Even as they are trying to
reassure other reassure other allies in the region that this
isn't as bad as you may think, which is why you hear the
President talking about the logic of the deal. Right? Well,
I was struck at that press conference. The story I wrote
was focused on this he, you know, I thought of his love for
Mr. Spock, which he has expressed logic and science, the
White House is coming really hard with the science on this
deal, trying to make it seem as though there's really no counter
argument at all. And that drives opponents crazy, by the way,
what about the science of the deal, guys? Well, there's a
reason that Ernie Moniz, the former head of various Moniz,
physics at MIT, and now the energy secretary was brought to
this deal, because there was a second negotiation going on that
in some ways, was more fascinating than Secretary Kerry
and Minister, Javad Zarif, the Iranian foreign minister, and
that was between Moniz and his counterpart, his Iranian
counterpart, who also went to MIT as a student. And that
conversation was an effort to de politicize the issue, by coming
up with technical solutions to what was essentially a political
problem. And they managed to do it, much of it down in the wine
cellar of the Coburg Palace Hotel, which was down so deep in
the rocks of this old site, that the Iranians began to call it
Fordo, which is the name of
their underground nuclear enrichment center. We're down
there 60,000 were consumed? Yes, they were occasionally let's not
give people the wrong I
did look like a dungeon and and we were told definitively there
is no wine and Fordo. But there was plenty of radioactive
material, which always kind of come out with under this
agreement. But the idea here was take the politics out. The
problem is that when this goes to Congress, if your vision of
what the deal was going to be was take apart all of Iran's
nuclear facilities, dismantle everything, there's nothing that
Ernest Moniz can say to you that you're going to live QA.
What a great gig. I bet you Moniz knows all about it, too. I
bet he's an aficionado. I bet he really knows his wine. I bet he
does. He seem like a guy that would know what's going on.
Yeah, he does. He has all the earmarks one
nice. So if I understand properly or correctly this is
more of the believe in the science. You know, your new
religion is science. If you believe anything, as long as we
have some scientific theory that goes along with
Republicans are pretty immune to that because they know that
they're being hoodwinked. Yes. Bull crap.
Yes, yes.
But you know, this deal. I've looked it over as best I can. I
haven't really read the document for patient.
But I've I have some things to say about it.
I just don't see it as that bad of a deal. That these guys are
bold, bent out of shape, like they're going to, we're going to
be a world war three like and
it will it will commence. The mobilization of the Middle East
will commence with his deal. And all the money that's going to be
made on selling arms into Iran is crazy. It's another it's
another great yeah, great sales job. That's what we want to do.
Yeah, of course. So that's opening up and we know that
anybody against that. Well, I also think that the 100 billion
dollars, that's not leaving the United States. I mean, I I don't
I kind of wasn't able to find it in I'm sure there's an addendum
or some rider to this agreement somewhere is going to be another
exhibit, there's got to be something that says the 100
billion dollars you that we frozen, will be unfrozen but you
have to spend it on defense companies in the United States.
Has to be
it that's the way it would work. That's what that was the deal. I
would make
100 billion but you gotta have you know,
and, of course, you know, it's like a catch 22 Because the
administration can't say, Well, you know, we're we're really
just going to be selling a bunch of stuff that kills brown
people. All to Iran but at the same time they also would really
like to counter the we're giving them $100 billion I think the
deal is great give it to us, you know to what we do I'm not happy
with it but what we do we make war stuff. Look at all of our
vehicles look at every everything we have you noticed
it is a derivative of the military industrial complex. So
this this belief in science and I don't know if this is true,
but I have a couple of
things. She says what's the science of the deal? Here we go.
So the American Psychological Association will in their
upcoming journal which is to be released in early August
according to report so I don't know for sure, will publish the
results of a study and I shall read the executive summary as
reported by multiple outlets. This is a study a five year
study by the APA, the American Psychological Association.
According to the APA, a strong and passionate belief in a deity
or higher power to the point where it impairs one's ability
to make conscientious decisions about common sense matters, will
now be classified as a mental illness. The Dr. Lillian Andrews
Professor of Psychology stated, quote, every year 1000s of
people die after refusing life saving treatment on religious
grounds. Even when being told quote, you will die without this
treatment and, quote, patients reject the idea and believe that
their god will save them. Those lives could be saved simply by
classifying those people as mentally unfit for decision
making. And this should Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood
transfusions, even if they're dying. And that's, I mean, I
don't understand why we're going
to the Christian Science is the one that's most notorious for
that. For what refusing these sorts of treatments Okay,
Christian Science.
That's what this would be very interesting. If the APA is going
to
sorry, you're now nuts. We can do whatever you want.
That's Do you really think that's gonna happen?
Oh, are you kidding me? Course?
This is so wrong. It's just
part of the fascist way of doing things Yeah.
Yeah, completely fine. Don't
have time it goes like this because you know, we don't have
time for this nonsense. Yeah. We're going to treat you whether
you like it or not
mental patient will be out in California. Now you have the it
is now mandatory. All children who want to attend school and
for homeschooling must have their vaccinations, home
schooling. And Jim Carrey wrote, you must
be kicked out of the house for not having evaluate when they're
gonna
come in and check. Uh, Jim Carrey wrote a long, long op ed
on this. And he says, you know, you cannot mandate the American
people to do this, if there's any doubt about the safety of
any vaccine. And of course, he has to start off his entire op
ed with, Hey, hold on a second. You know, I want to make very
clear that I'm all for vaccines, the ones that are proven to
work, but the ones that are not that are not safe, or have
question and I think every vaccine has questionable safety.
There's always a margin of people who react adversely. But
now in California, what does it SB Bucha? What is it called? I
don't have it here. And he goes into a little bit of no agenda
of deconstruction. He says here this, the pharmaceutical
industry's web of influence doesn't end in Washington or
Sacramento. This trillion dollar industry perhaps, has its
greatest reach in Atlanta, where the Center for Disease Control
is located, and where the revolving door spins in
perpetuity. Take Julie Gerberding, for example, who
spent nearly a decade as the director of CDC then left to
head the vaccine department and Merck. Yeah, okay, well say
goodbye to your career Jim. What's left of it that's left of
it now that now they're going to screw this great guy into the
ground feel sad. Doesn't take much. And so back to Iran Wendy
Sherman, who I'm increasingly liking she's the undersecretary
for what does she think she's undersecretary of state? But I
like her because she looks she looks kind of similar to similar
type of person as a as Fifi Lagarde. Just kind of that kind
of, you know what I mean? Okay, so you see her now you'll know
that that's Wendy Sherman. And there's some discrepancy now,
there's some there's some shuffling going on to get this
deal done. And I just wanted to give people, producers a
breakdown because you know, people will follow whatever
they're hearing on the news and stuff like well, they're
Republicans, they're gonna block it Republicans. So I'll tell you
what the rules are and how it's worked, how it works and what I
think is going to be done here is Wendy Sherman discussing,
getting this through, are you
willing to hold off at the UN on the resolution that encompasses
this agreement? until Congress has had its vote? What would be
the impact if you were to? Well, the way that the UN Security
Council resolution is structured, there is an interim
period.
So what is happening here is instead of sending this directly
to the Senate, which is where it should go, and everyone's
talking about the Congress or Congress, they're going to do a
UN Security Council vote, which then will be deemed as binding?
Well, the way that the UN Security Council resolution is
structured, there is an interim period 60 to 90 days, that I
think will accommodate the congressional review. And it
would have been a little difficult when all of the
members of the P five plus one wanted to go to the United
Nations to get an endorsement of this. Instead, it is a product
of the United Nations process for us to say, Well, excuse me
the world, you should wait for the United States Congress. So
what we worked out is a process that allows this time and space
for the congressional review before it takes effect. And
there may be other legislators who also want to look at this.
So it anticipates that there is a period of review, while at the
same time allowing the international community to
speak.
So a little bit of fancy footwork there. And just so you
know, what the actual law is, is Article two, section two clause
two easy to remember. So you can you can rattle that off to
anybody? Well, according to Article two, section two, clause
two, the president shall have power by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate to make treaties, provided two thirds of
the senators present concur. So I looked at all the different
permutations of that. And the advice and consent is a part of
the what what is known as the treaty clause. And so this, the
literal meaning of this, is that you have to take advice from the
Senate, and two thirds of the Senate has to approve this
message, which I believe will be difficult. Just on political
grounds, the Republicans, of course, will block this. So what
they're trying to do now is have the press, I can tell you what's
going to happen, because I think Roosevelt did this. If you can't
get the the two thirds vote and you need from Senate, then you
can just issue an executive order for the term of your
presidency, which then gives you more room to try and go get the
votes. And I think that's what's going to happen. But it's going
to be sold to the American public as the the world, the
international community, in the form of the United Nations
Security Council says yes, this is a good deal. Oh, really,
we're gonna have everyone go America, the world will wait for
yo. And so that's how they're going to shepherd it through and
a future president could unwind that. That's why they're not
going to call it a treaty. But a treaty, by its definition of
last neocon can last into the next presidency. And you know,
it's not something you can just change easily with an executive
order. So I think you're going to see an executive order
approving the deal. So the more fighting can take place, and
more disparaging of people who dissent.
Republicans rush.
It always boils down to the Republicans. That's what it is.
That's what it is. Well, I but I but I find, I find it
discouraging to hear people talk about Congress voting, and they
don't even know what people don't even know what's in this
in the one document, you can
think that it was well, well played by Carrie, when he was
doing his interview on one of these networks, I think was the
News Hour with Judy. And he said, These people are moaning
and groaning they have not even read this thing. And this is the
way Congress operates. And then, of course, we see these things I
could attend to I mean, and this only 170 pages, I believe. It's
not like the 10,000 page, you know, after we pass it, you can
read it kind of stuff that goes on in Congress. So this is a
very dysfunctional operation. This whole thing. Yeah. They
have to read it. And then the I don't know, I just don't I have
not heard a good argument except hysteria. You hear it from John
McCain. You hear from Lindsey Graham. Oh, you can't trust
them. They're ended although Carrie and everybody else has
said the following which is that you don't have to trust them. We
have a schedule of things that we do and then the facts allow
us to to continue it's got nothing to do with trust.
There's no trust involved in this entire thing, right. You
can't trust them. They're gonna screw us are going to bomb us.
They're gonna terrorize us you You know, and I don't understand
exactly what McCain and Lindsey Graham and these others guys are
waiting for a beggar under the table payment from the defense
industry because they're the ones we're going to benefit from
this. And you think these guys are all in on that you got to
get them more money maybe it's just a scam. Maybe they're I
mean, there's some evidence and McCain's already in on this
deal. Oh,
especially with the procurement of course. Of course he is.
So they're just gonna, they're gonna posture. Okay, well,
anyway, I think it's enough. We don't need to talk about this
anymore. All right,
anything I wouldn't want to play an end of show clip, which is
the if you're in the show notes today. I'll have I have four
clips. I want to play one of this. This great party at the
White House for the Library of Congress Gershwin award honoring
Sir Paul McCartney. And I thought the Jerry Seinfeld piece
and put it like a two minute clip of a piece of his.
Did you play that in the last show? No. I
said it. I played. I played Paul McCartney's singing Michelle.
And I said we would play it on today's show. And I said, Do you
want to hear Jerry Seinfeld? You said yes. I said, No. I'll save
it for Sunday. Okay. And what else? Do you have anything else
you want to
know I have? Well, I mean, we do probably have to get the Greek
thing out of the way. I do have a couple of clips I want because
we're falling behind on that good. Play the thieves are
pretty sure this one's kind of long. But there other ones are
short. Play the group Greek part one and democracy now and then
I'll cut it off if it's if it's going the wrong way.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is facing protests from members of
his own cities the party after accepting harsh austerity
measures in exchange for new international bailout. In order
for the deal to move forward. The Greek Parliament must accept
pension cuts and other reforms by Wednesday, 10 days after
voters rejected similar reforms and a referendum after European
leaders press Greece to accept the austerity package. That
hashtag This is a coup trended on Social Blade that
I don't. I don't remember that.
I do. Okay. So let's go right to the last couple because there's
something in this clip, which we've been sitting on that I
thought was interesting. This is the rundown. Now we've played
this with the kicker.
Okay to Democracy Now. democracynow.org, The War and
Peace Report. I'm Amy Goodman. Greece and its European
creditors have reached a deal that will force Greece to accept
sweeping German backed austerity measures in order to receive a
third bailout and remain in the Eurozone. Provided the Greek
Parliament accepts the terms the deal paves the way for a three
year bailout worth up to $96 billion after European leaders
press Greece to accept an austerity package seen as
amounting to a surrender of its fiscal sovereignty. The hashtag
This is a coup trended on social media talks continued overnight
until Greece agreed to immediately implement measures
including pension reform, and the privatization of its energy
transmission network. Yeah, the deal comes after there we did
play this
Okay, so we got degrees the other way just one of the
Greeks a math we have not played I don't think
that is that's not gonna. I think that's a bogus claim to do
with men. All right, well, okay, I got I do have a funny clip.
Hey,
John, that would you know, that was really bad. What you just
did? Yeah, no.
And I wish it was short. It wasn't long.
I almost wanted to write it out. I mean, just just edit that out.
That was the worst thing. I mean, I've done stuff like this.
Okay, got it. I make up for it. Okay. All right. This is the
FIFA mafia clip.
Are you sure we haven't I think we've played this one too. Oh,
yeah.
First of seven FIFA officials being held in Switzerland on
corruption charges has been extradited to the United States.
This morning's extradition follows the beginning of Senate
hearings yesterday to investigate the corruption
scandal that's thrown the World Soccer governing body into
turmoil. On Wednesday, Senators questioned how much US Soccer
officials knew about the corruption and demanded an
overhaul of the global organization. Senator Richard
Blumenthal compared FIFA to the mafia.
The fact of the matter is that what has been revealed so far is
a mafia style crime syndicate. In charge of this for my only
hesitation in using that term is that it is almost insulting to
the mafia. Because the mafia would never have been so
blatant, overt and arrogant. I'm shocked
shocked to find that gambling is going on in house winning so
thank you very much. Well, we know that this is all because we
didn't get that game. Those games go into Qatar. Yeah. And
it sends a message
the message is you can be criminal but don't try to out
some don't screw us. Yeah. Yeah. Then where's that reporting?
I don't know. mystifies me. All right. All right, wrap it.
I'm wrapping up. All right. Bender show clip will be. Jerry
Seinfeld making fun of Paul McCartney, which is pretty
decent. And of course, you didn't see this anywhere. I
don't know why. I don't know why anyone just saved broadcast in
this. There's so much good material. So just a little
uplifting thing to take you into the final stages of your
weekend. Are you doing twit today? No. Okay, good. I'm glad
there was no tech news. I noticed. Coming to you from FEMA
Region six here in the capital of the drone star states. In
downtown Austin, the crackpot condo in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley. We're I'm still waiting
for those July 4 attacks by the way, John C. Dvorak.
Don't hold your breath because I'd like to see you back on
Thursday where we will return right here on no agenda.
Sir Paul, you have written some of the most beautiful music ever
heard by humans in this world? It's my favorite music that I've
ever heard in my life. I love you for it. And yet, some of the
lyrics, some of the songs as they go by you can make one
unsure, even concerned sometimes about what exactly is happening
in the song. Songs such as I saw her standing there and I quote,
she was just 17 you know what I mean?
I'm not sure I do know what you mean, Sir Paul. I think I know
what you mean. Getting better from Sergeant Pepper again,
quoting. I used to be cruel to my woman. I beat her and kept
her apart from the things that she loved. Nice. Same woman by
any chance. I'm kidding, of course. And I can't because Paul
and I have gotten to know each other a little bit over the
years. That's how I got this gig. And but what makes him the
unparalleled artists that he is is that the world has also
gotten to know him through his unforgettable music. We followed
your life story in the beginning a young man who said I want to
hold your hand all my loving I feel fine Please Please Me a
little self involved with the hell you're in show business
good looking guy then why not? Then marriage and family and it
changed a little now it was about the long and winding road
oh my god Penny Lane just glad to be out of the house getting a
haircut. Fixing a hole where the rain gets in. These are husband
lyrics ladies and gentlemen. And it really doesn't matter if I'm
wrong. I'm right. This is an argument. More husband songs
followed like get back help. And of course would you just let it
be
No, no no
no, NO NO NO NO NO NO, NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
Hey.
Bingo Boom shaka laka All right, Judge number one Manny Pacquiao
your question if you will give him 30 seconds to deliver a
