hey want to come in my bomb shelter kids, Adam curry, John
C. Dvorak. January 3 2016 time once again for your foundation
media assassination episode 787.
This is no agenda.
Kicking off another year of guarding your reality
deconstructing the ever shrinking mainstream media and
broadcasting live from the Capitol to drone Star state of
the Marines in September morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry,
and from Northern gun Valley. spit that out. By the way, it's
the first show of 2016 I'm John C. Dvorak.
Raglan buzzkill
you hit the post perfectly good job. I don't know how you do it.
Happy New Year John.
What happened? You your boots on the ground?
What do you do you just hang out at home?
Yeah, I do hang out at home because it's because there's
millions of cops out there you can't even drive point A to
point B A dog getting stopped whether the done anything wrong
or not. They just stop everybody. It's a police state.
Why should I go out?
Yes, this is a very good point about the pedestrian. Uber to
you know, try
to bypass a lot of this even though you can stop anyway. You
have to pay like 5x
Oh, it was 10x in some in some cities. Well, I have x i don't
guys fine.
Too many x. Well, so yeah, yes, I had to find I get to see
fireworks as fireworks here. I can watch. Oh,
we got so lucky. was at home with Tina for the actual
celebrations. But at 10 here in Austin. There was a 15 minute
firework show on the river that I could see from the back of my
building was fantastic.
At 10 And
that was the weird thing. Like what are you doing? I'm telling
you so we you know I face the north side. But all you do is
just go down the hall to the elevators and it's huge window
and you look out the south side. And you know it being 10
o'clock. A lot of kids there and it was I mean we could have been
more than a block away from two blocks away from us. Oh, it was
fantastic. Really nice. But 10 o'clock and then we'll we'll go
and check again at midnight. Midnight comes nothing very
strange.
They just did a 10 o'clock and then shut down the town.
I think they they didn't want to have excessive bangs going off
at midnight since midnight. also marked the beginning of our open
carry laws here.
I have a clip. Oh, so
do I know. But I'll listen to yours. Where is it? Once you get
open carry in intelligence.
Okay, you're setting off a heated debate across this
country over gun laws. In the coming days. President Obama
expected to take executive action expanding background
checks, while in Texas A new open carry policy taking effect
today, allowing gun owners to visibly carry weapons in public
ABCs Ryan Owens in Dallas tonight, some Texans spending
their New Year's Day proudly wearing their weapons in public
and as of today, it's all perfectly legal various door day
for Texas. registered gun owners can now wear their guns in a
holster in church in banks and many other businesses. As long
as they show their licence, gun toting Texans can even visit the
state capitol without going through a metal detector. Yeah,
I
think the bad guys have gotten so we should all armed ourselves
to
the Lone Star State just became the 45th and most populated to
allow registered gun owners to open carry as it's known.
I do want to point out to everybody that we're not the
only crazy people there's not only Texas 45 states,
supporters of the new law, so you will make this state safer
that bad guys will think twice if they see a good guy with a
gun. Not everyone is convinced.
I don't want to be like the victim of someone's idiocy
because, like trying to be like Rambo or something.
Some people some police departments are worried too,
that 911 will be flooded with calls. They have this gun, one
department even producing this video to educate nervous
citizens.
Is the gun out of his holster. Is the person acting reckless,
be open carry
any business here in Texas can opt out of this new law and
plenty including whole foods have all they have to do is put
up a sign just like this one. It's also important to note you
still cannot carry a gun to your child's school or in a
courthouse. Now, Tom.
Turns out we had exactly the same clip be exactly the same
clip that doesn't equal Yeah, exactly the same clip. There's a
couple other things going on. At the same time though. The
President did his his podcast, his New Year's podcast about how
we need to protect America's children and CB instead of
playing the podcast itself, which actually I'll play the
opening he sounded drunk man.
Well, it's New Year's. It's possible to see here. How's it
No, no, that's not it says last year.
He did it last year.
should just be plastered the whole year listen to listen to
listen to this very funny listen.
Happy New Year everybody
learn right off the beginning.
I am fired up for the year that's stretching. Let's
go to the end. You can hear he's drunk at the end too. It's
really strange.
So I know there are a bunch of us who care about this. If you
are one of them. I need your help. Change as always, is going
to take all of us gun lobby is loud and well organised in its
defensive effortlessly.
What is effortlessly? Why doesn't someone say Mr.
President, let's do that one over this up because this must
be like, Screw him, let him flub around. That's actually
something that MTV control room to do all the time. I screw her
Julie Brown letter flub around
and lobby is loud and well organised and it's defensive,
effortlessly available for the rest of us are going to have to
be just as passionate and well organised in our defence of our
kids. That's the work of citizenship, to stand up and
fight for the change that we seek. I hope you'll join me in
making America safer for all of our children. Yeah. Thanks,
everybody.
CBS did kind of a deconstruction and explained what he meant by
the entire podcast.
President Obama is beginning his final 12 months in office with a
renewed effort to reduce gun violence following a year that
saw 331 mass shootings incidents in which four or more people
were shot. Mr. Obama is planning a series of executive actions
which would not require the approval of Congress. The
President is wrapping up his vacation in Hawaii. Chip Reid is
there.
It was just after the mass shooting at an Oregon Community
College in October that the President decided he had to take
executive action on guns. He made the announcement today in
his weekly address posted on the White House website.
I directed my team at the White House to look into any new
actions I can take to help reduce gun violence.
Stop. Isn't gun violence been steadily falling since about
1990?
I believe that even is mentioned in this report. Interestingly,
well if that's happening, well, what's all this panic? What Why
panic mode? Why rush all these things through what's the hurry?
Well, John, you know what? You know what it is? Maybe if he
didn't do anything, it would continue to drop maybe by doing
something it would shove it back up again.
Yeah, possible possible. This is about throwing crazy people in
jail ultimately. And yes, of course, is to get rid of all
guns.
And on Monday, I'll meet with our Attorney General Loretta
Lynch to discuss our options,
we'll sing a song country western song.
Sources tell CBS News those options include expanding the
definition of who is in the business of selling guns, so
that more gun sales trigger background checks and requiring
enhanced reporting and tracking of lost and stolen guns.
Hold on, this was a they further deconstructed this to say this,
you know, gun show gun collectors, for example. Yeah.
Are they are they can they? They swap a lot of guns. Now I'm
going to ask you something is the last the big shooting down
in San Bernardino, or was there any shooting? That was shot?
That guy used a gun that he is a collectible?
No. In fact, we we still we still do not know exactly which
guns were used in San Bernardino. Nor do we know
exactly which guns were used in Paris.
So you think they were collectibles? They went to a gun
collector? I think some anti Masonic must
use Jo muskets, muskets. Okay,
Austin stolen guns. Today the president blames the Republican
Congress for giving him no choice but to take unilateral
action. No choice.
We know we can't stop every act of violence if we tried to stop
even one. What if Congress did something anything to protect
our kids from gun violence?
Last month, Senate Republicans blocked democratic proposals
that would prevent people on the terror watch list from buying
guns and require background checks for online gun purchases.
I have a couple of clips related to this. Yeah, what
San Bernardino shooting was and how many kids were shot. None
of this is referring to Sandy Hook. So there's a lot of
different ways that people are getting involved and trying to
help the President to remove guns from society in the United
States. And one of them is this project called unload your 401
K. And the idea is although in this report you'll see it's kind
of futile 401k A gun. Now the idea well the unload your 401 K.
The idea is if you have a 401 k There's ways to call up the your
manager of the of the fund and say I do not want any
investments in gun manual fractures. So this is the new
brilliant push trauma
surgeon Sheldon tetraman treats a gunshot victim almost every
day at Jacoby Medical Centre in the Bronx. He's been doing it
for 32 years.
You see all this senseless violence and you see it year
after year after year
when you call surprised.
He was not surprised at all though all I had to do is sign
the memo and give him the instruction not to allow any of
my money to be invested in these
killing shakes. A
temperament is part of a national effort called unload
your 401 K.
There is a lot of profit to be made for all of this sorrow, all
of this death and all of this destruction.
It encourages investors to check their 401 K plans and divest
from gun stocks. Most of the spokespeople are victims family
members, we had gun Barrett, who helped create the campaign says
if you own stocks and large mutual funds, you may own shares
in gun manufacturers.
So we have to build awareness, just like we did for the
divestment campaign during the years of apartheid in South
Africa.
Currently pension funds in Chicago are vowing to sell off
firearms investments in Philadelphia, they already did
it. In California, the State Teachers Retirement System, one
of the largest pension funds in the nation voted unanimously to
divest but equity analyst Brian Ruttenberg says divestment just
creates opportunities for someone else.
You have this, if not 1000s of other funds that will take up
the slack and don't have those restrictions. There's only a
handful of funds that we're going to get that pressure and
will divest
in 2015, most gun manufacturer stocks did very well. Smith and
Wesson grew more than 133%.
So on the face bag,
hold on a second. So why don't we put this effort into ending
poverty and homelessness?
That's a great idea.
You talk about the you know, the guy getting shot every day in
the Bronx. Why is that? poverty, homelessness, maybe those
guns, as guns as guns everywhere. Poverty, guns equals
death. I think that's the idea of
poverty part of the formula is the one that should be adjusted
the second that's get rid of the guns and make him even more
impoverished.
So there's open carry thing is freaking a lot of people out and
45 states have got this long. So what's new, nothing really new,
that you guys are a little late to the game.
It's an opportunity for people to come up with great ideas. And
one of them kind of went viral on the face bag. I saw it over
the over the past few days. And it's an idea that sprang from a
professor of I think he's sociology, we'll have to look
them up. University of North Dakota, he has the solution,
John, and then it's a longest clip. So we could stop anytime.
I think you'll be interested in hearing the entire theory and
his explanation of why his brilliant idea is going to work
how we are going to force open carry to go away.
But you know, I have to ask you where you got this clip first.
It's the university professor himself. He filmed it in the
university.
And then we had to get distributed.
Oh, well, he he posted an article on the University
website. He says that went viral. And then so here he is
explaining it in video. Why? Hey, okay. Yeah. Why did you
want to know where I got it?
Oh, because I want to know if it came from a trusted source.
Well, it came from, it's from the professor himself.
Hi, Jack Russell Weinstein, professor of philosophy and
director of the Institute for philosophy public life at the
University of North Dakota. I'm here today because I posted
something on our blog PQ ed.org. That went viral, much to my
surprise, 113,000 people shared it. And there were 1000s of
comments in response. I really wanted to talk as a philosopher
about the gun rights debate, but most specifically, I wanted to
talk about open carry activists, right because for me, it's
problematic, but I didn't just want to be a voice in the gun
debate. I want it to be a philosopher asking how to solve
an intractable problem. What's the problem there? This
is the stuff people love on face bag. Oh, yeah. So a great
solution. I'm Kerry activists,
particularly in Texas, I want to go places like Target and
restaurant and carry loaded guns often high powered, automatic
weapons, no
automatic No, no less automatic weapons young, not semi but full
automatically.
Apparently, I didn't enter their automatic weapons were legal in
any state. I'll give the guy a break
and restaurant and carry loaded guns often high powered
automatic weapons. And then there are people who are scared
of it and don't want to eat in a restaurant with people who are
fully armed. Both of those positions may be understandable.
So how, as a philosopher, do I deal with that? The answer I
came up with respected both people's rights. The people in
the restaurant who are uncomfortable, just leave, but
they're supposed to leave because they're afraid. And that
leads to another philosophical problem. If you're afraid for
your life, to pay the tab,
you see where this is going. On Facebook, you can now print out
cards, that you would leave on the table and say, I feel
threatened by people with guns here, I'm leaving, I'm not
paying for my, for the for not paying the tab. And my answer.
Yeah, I think you've summarises whatever point is because he's
gonna make?
And my answer was no. My answer was, if you're afraid for your
life, you just get up and leave. Maybe the restaurant pays the
bill themselves. Maybe the activists pay the bill. But in
reality, if you're genuinely concerned that someone is going
to shoot you
than the restaurant in the first place,
it makes no sense to pay the bill. It makes
no sense to rip off the restaurant guy. Oh, no, he's
going to explain the criminal he's going to explain Katie,
this is bullcrap. If you don't like to write, if you there's
open, if you're in the state of Texas, you're gonna go into a
restaurant, there's going to be a guy carrying a gun, it's going
to be in every restaurant, or no, no restaurants, or they're
gonna have that sign out in front, which by the way they can
do they there's that sign they showed on the ABC report that
you could put put?
Well, that is that is a guess anyone can do that Whole Foods
has done that the heb has done that.
Yeah. So what's the big deal? This guy's this guy's
showboater?
I think it's important because people believe this guy. And I'm
telling you this is this is a movement. Now people are
seriously considering doing this. Just because of the face
bags. Yes, of course. That's where I was at. That is that is
where everyone's getting everything. I don't
want to say that people freaked out. Because most of the people
who commented on the blog supported it. And in fact, lots
of people felt that this idea was a rational, safe, calm idea
that respected everyone's right. But there were a group of gun
activists in
respect to restaurant tours, right?
He's going to make a living, he's going to explain exactly
why that is, right. It's this is the thing that's crazy. This
thinking is insane, who felt
that this was theft, that this was taking advantage of
situation. And then ultimately, that this was some form of
discrimination and intolerance, that people didn't like gun
owners. And so they wanted to leave? How would it be if I
didn't like an African American? Or I didn't like a tall person,
or I didn't like an immigrant? Would it be okay to leave them?
And the answer I came up with in a different post was that it is
completely different. First of all, it's not thievery. If you
are leaving the restaurant, because you don't want to pay
the bill, then you're a thief. I'm a philosopher. I'm not
talking about you. On the theoretical level, I'm concerned
about your intentions. I'm concerned about what's going on
in your head, if you leave, because you're afraid that's
moral, if you leave, because you don't want to pay the bill. That
is
because you're afraid of a black man.
Well, well, that's that's exactly the right question then.
And he's, somehow he's able to say that you are in your right.
If you feel threatened, you don't have to pay the bill.
If however, you want to compare it to the history of
discrimination, then that's not quite right. First of all, under
the Constitution, we have protected groups, and
traditionally marginalised people, women in this country,
African American in this country, gays and lesbians in
this country, if you leave because they're there, and
they're no threat to you, then that's a problem.
I think, what what, what the open carry guys in Austin should
do? Should we get a whole bunch of gay black guys to go to
restaurants? And then today, why don't you want me out that
discrimination?
Well, first of all, I don't know how long you want to keep
playing. We don't have to listen anymore. He is full of himself.
He actually thinks this is some sort of a solution even though
it doesn't make any sense, especially when he brings up the
Constitution. Well, if there's protected groups, there's also
protected gun ownership. Second Amendment of
course, that's the thing he doesn't mention. Of course, it's
it's protected, of course.
And it would also be disingenuous to go into a
restaurant eat and then say I'd feel threatened and walk out and
consider that moral. This guy's just encouraging. scofflaw
Yes. And it's catching on there's everywhere on on on
Facebook. It's
not gonna go anywhere. I don't believe it's gonna happen I
think what do you think you're gonna get away with it? I'm
gonna go to a restaurant stiff the owners and then walk out and
then not get busted.
Yes, your Yes, I think that I think that it might get to that
pretty naive I thought it might get to that John is always in
Austin and people are strange here. Well, I like to see it
happen. I can totally see people printing it out going, Oh, I'm
not expressly finding a place of course.
You have to scheme it. First of all, it's premeditated. If you
bring the card in, in the first place. Ah, good sound like you
wrote a little No, you went in with that card for the intention
of ripping off the restaurant. I don't see how any judge or or
jury is going to see it any other way. It's premeditated.
You have the card, you're ready to do it.
I'm glad you're all upset about it.
I find these people annoying.
Yeah. This is people educating the millennials. Well,
ya don't know how the millennials react to anything.
Although I would say you're probably right. You're the one
that's on the face. Hey, you're following it? I'm not I have to
say but you know, I do Twitter. And that's about as far as I go.
Yeah.
Anyway, I didn't see us. Do you look at Instagram?
Yeah. Instagram is the future.
Instagram broke their API. Yeah, that's I think that's hilarious.
Listen
to new presidents Instagram. No. Oh, yeah, we got an official
Instagram all with the staged photos. I mean, Instagram began
is you got a cheap little phone, you take a photo, you fix it up
a little bit and posted that though these are all like, you
know, staged photos with high end gear. And they have the one
thing they have the one at the top one they've got Obama in the
Oval Office.
What is his Instagram? Is Instagram slash POTUS? No, it's
something else and you don't have to go to the other machine
to find it. You can look it up. And he he's there with the Star
Wars characters. That makes sense. Yeah. Obama's there with
the little robot and one of the guys in the white, that white
outfit this
storm trooper storm
where this white thing doesn't stop a pebble. The plastic wiped
out what's the point? They might still be naked. But it did
remind me. That's funny. I have a clip no to go completely off
to another topic. But the various levels of honesty with
different presidents, I've come to the conclusion after
listening to stuff on C span and then relating my own story that
the last honest president we ever had an offence was George
HW Bush, who served one term. Everybody since then has been
corrupt. And I would say Obama plugging the Star Wars movie in
his Instagram account. It's a good example. Now.
We're clip is it? That's the actual speech writer.
Yeah, this is a clip that I spent I had a an event where
they covered an event that took place with one of the East Coast
universities. And they brought in all these President
presidential speech writers who had all these tales to tell and
it was actually very entertaining. But this one woman
came up to discuss, she was one of george HW Bush's speech
writers to discuss the correspondents dinner, and how
you wrote jokes for it, I find it very enlightening.
So, so we would do for the big, you know, White House
Correspondents dinners and grid iron, all those is we'd have
the, the researchers come up with lists of all the current
stuff, the top movies, the top songs, the celebrity train
wrecks, you know, whatever. And then we would call in all these
funny people, whether they were professionally associated with
us or not, and we put a big bottle of scotch in the middle
of the table. And this will be at six o'clock at night, not at
lunch or something. And we'd all start saying, okay, what can we
do here? You know, what is it those days would be like, you
know, something with Michael Jackson and the Speaker of the
House or, you know, whatever you come up with these funny, you
know, incongruent things. 95% of it completely unusable by the
president knighted states. We were particularly constrained
because George Bush did not like humour that belittled other
people, or insulted people or in any way made fun, especially of
his political opponents. He I think that was a great credit to
him and a reason why he got so much done in a bipartisan way.
Because he did not stoop to, you know, insulting his his
political opponents.
I didn't know that I thought I thought the correspondents
dinner was always used kind of to roast everybody, especially
the political opponents and HW didn't do that, apparently. So
we
were left with jokes about broccoli. Emily, the dog, you
know, we can never you can't make fun of states. You can't
make New Jersey jokes, West Virginia jokes, anything like
that. So so the list gets smaller and smaller, and the
pile on the floor gets bigger and bigger of all the stuff you
can't use, but it was but it was great fun. And it's it really
makes you appreciate the people who have to stand up every night
and do a comedy monologue. President Bush used to say the
American people did not elect me to be a stand up comic. Why do I
have to do this?
Yeah, right.
Yeah. Why does he have to do it? He's not a stand up comic. Not
at all. Obama loves it.
Yeah. Well, he loves it so much that Jerry Seinfeld to consider
him a comedian to be on his show.
It's always premised a whole bit. Yeah.
Did you watch it?
I tried to watch it. Yeah, for one thing, he doesn't get to
leave the White House grounds. So things. So he brings his
Corvette and it drives around. You know,
Pap, I thought the President was really arrogant trying to be
funny, but it came came across to me it's just incredibly
arrogance.
Ver I thought it was hard to watch. I watched about, I got
into about six, seven minutes of it. I just killed it. It wasn't
funny. No, it wasn't funny. And they weren't interacting well,
and he was president was full of full of himself. And it was it
was weird. Weird. I suppose I was starting to make me itch.
I understand the feeling.
Well, while we're on the topic of the President,
will it's time for some presidential proclamations it's
not a very good thing to have.
As right it's the start of a new month, a new year, and time for
your presidential proclamations, as signed into law by the
President United States. We have three I think that are of note.
And the first one is this is National Mentoring Month,
National Mentoring Month. Ah, throughout our history,
Americans of every background have worked to uphold this ideal
joining together and common purpose to serve as mentors and
lift up our country's youths. During National Mentoring Month,
we honour all those who continuously strive to provide
young people with the resources and support they need and
deserve. So whenever these presidential proclamations are,
are published, they always have to look and see what is the
political part that's what is what is this a part of that
something's either it's legislation, there's always some
kind of proclamation about guns when there's gun legislation
coming up. This one had to read through the whole thing. And
then I found that there it is, my administration is committed
to fostering opportunities for mentorship. Because when our
children have strong positive role models to look up to they
grow up to be good neighbours and good fellow citizens.
Through the My Brother's Keeper initiative. We're working with
local governments, businesses and charitable organisations.
This is a blatant native ad for the President's post
presidential job, which is the My Brother's Keeper initiative.
So wow, what Gong Yeah. Which is completely non government and we
have an NGO. It's an NGO. Yeah,
exactly. Yeah. That he's going to run with his huge mailing
list. Yep. Yeah. He just learned from the Clintons about how to
do this. Oh, yeah. Oh, scam. Oh, yeah.
The President also proclaimed this to be National Slavery and
Human Trafficking Prevention Month, which seems obvious. Our
intelligence teams have devoted more resources to identifying
trafficking networks, law enforcement officers have been
working to dismantle those networks, and prosecutors have
striven to punish traffickers. And when they're doing it
through, utilised, better technology and great and one of
our old favourites, which is always misunderstood here on the
show by presidential proclamation. It is national
stalking Awareness Month. We always love this. It should be
a logo for this as somebody peeping out the window stock.
Oh, man, but really, it's only about women. You know, he goes
on to talk about the violence against women all the time. Yes.
Yeah. In fact, when it comes to stalking, I think it's one of
the big travesties of our of our justice system. Yes, men
definitely get stalked. I Stein the reauthorization of the
Violence Ken women's Act, the groundbreaking law that
recognises stalking as the crime it is provides more resources to
victim. The act also created new protections for lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender victims, as well as for
immigrants and Native American women. Obviously, straight
middle aged white dudes are fair game, stock away.
That's a good way to start the year
is nothing uplifting from a man nothing. Although I have to say
we have to be extremely worried at this point. We only have 23
weeks 21 days left until we die. Going to who Al Gore, but
January 26 2006. Americans have been hearing it for decades
wavering between belief and scepticism. This in 2006 Here's
here's what he said, politicians and corporations have been
ignoring the issue for decades to the point that unless drastic
measures to reduce greenhouse gases are taken within the next
10 years, the world will reach a point of no return. And I also
believe he said in 2006 that a
number of no return points over the last 10 years Yeah, yeah.
But this was the this was the big one. This is when he came
out with the inconvenient truth and won the Oscar and that was
all about tuning it 10 more years and if we haven't fixed
it, which we haven't, we have not been fixed. So we should be
dead in about three weeks time.
Will be the halfway point. He says the point of no return so
what's the what's the length of the flight?
What do you mean? Oh, it's cool. I mean, this is like 10 years.
Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah. 10 years to
it didn't begin in 2006. So if it began in 1705 then it were
the halfway point is at the end of the month and it will you
know be 2300 before we have to start worrying right?
Well, the the verb never
determined when it began. Know if you notice this.
Well The Verge did a piece in the verge of courses this month
this this thing is a native ad I'm not quite
sure. Are they? They're one of the top native ad buy I know
they
are I know they're creators. And they did a new we've always been
talking about Miami the fish are flopping in the streets fish are
flopping everywhere. So they did this piece which is
unbelievable. And it's the verge you know, and they got a big
audience and it's kind of like a Buzzfeed with people who watch
that I believe anything I see. And this is this is pretty much
where we're all gonna die.
But the ball dropping and confetti crowds in Times Square.
Miami has an all night dance party like grandma drop and of
course Pitbull,
and I love how they kind of bring the global warming climate
change into popular culture with Pitbull
Pitbull loves Miami, and so should you. But now's the time
to enjoy it because the city probably won't exist in the next
100 years. Oh enjoy. Miami is one of the first US cities
already experiencing the effects of climate change. And it's only
going to get worse. 60% of Miami Dade counties listen to metres
above sea level and unabated climate change until 2100 could
result in a 4.3 to 9.9 metre sea level rise
9.9 metre metre nine metre which means right that's that's 27
feet some feet 47 feet. Wow.
As if that weren't enough, Miami's geology renders it
uniquely vulnerable. The city and its beaches are built on
porous limestone, which this is the actual problem soaks up
seawater, the seawater forces sewage up from a type two or
complete freshwater cell sorter is mostly at sea level. About
2.4 million people live less than 1.2 metres above the sea.
But that's enough. The Netherlands is I think it's
seven feet below sea level.
Yeah, you can raise a bone when I go there.
Well don't fall on the canal.
That's like you've all the residents of Wyoming Vermont and
New Hampshire were at risk.
I love how they do that. So they just take a bunch of random
states and say that's like all these people in these states
would be at risk which it's not journalistic what is going on
here.
I'm from it's pipes were complete freshwater. South
Florida is mostly at sea level, about 2.4 million people live
less than 1.2 metres above the sea. That's like if all the
residents of Wyoming Vermont and New Hampshire were at risk.
Miami isn't the only city facing it Atlantis like future and
Atlantis
like future? That sounds like several more metres than just
the the 92nd point
of this story. Just to scare the stupid people that read this
public
No, no, it's just another way to promote pit bull. I think
here in the US. New Orleans is also under serious threat. And
half of Mumbai, India, home to more than 20 million people will
be submerged. If the earth's temperature rising four degrees
Celsius above pre industrial level who writes
this shit over there will be submerged in Egypt,
just a one metre increase in sea level could force 10% of
Egyptians mostly in the Nile River Delta from their homes.
Bangladesh will be 17% underwater by 2050, displacing
about 18 million residents 2014 was the hottest year on
instrumental record since 1888 10 of the last hottest
years with the exception of 1998 have occurred since 2000.
There's something going on with this up there's two new pieces
of information I have not heard in this the last 10 years on
record with the warmest ever once you said back to 1880 I'm
not sure there's some significance of that. And the
other one was except for 1998. Have you heard that before? No
1998 Apparently, everyone's got different numbers map
and 2015 is on track to surpass 2014 by a significant margin. In
India. 2015 had an extreme summer heatwave, causing 2200
deaths
actually on screen and said 2200 Climate deaths
up north Greenland ice sheets experienced historically low ice
cover. Unfortunately current projections
Think death. Climate does Yeah, this on screen is a 2200 climate
deaths.
We should probably write new word or phrase climate death
should write that down. I just did.
Yeah, I'll write it down to
climate death.
Greenland ice sheets experienced historically low ice cover.
Unfortunately, current projections say 2016 isn't going
to be much better. Long term. We're looking at a US which
could look more like this.
They showed the US shrunken and like Florida has completely
gone. Half of California has gone just a little blob of turf
and that's America
and a world that looks like this. Yeah, there's like nothing
left. So as you're celebrating the New Year, ask who's gonna
last longer here comes Miami. Pitbull. Yes. My money is on Mr.
Shi Thanks. By the
way. I can't even watch pit bull. She said guy bald. He
looks at he's wearing a suit all the time. He looks just just a
screwball AG. What the appeal is, I mean, we must have the
best public relations.
Now. He's the he's the male. He's the male JLo.
Well, yeah. Well, it sounds like it's time for my report then.
Oh, hold on a second. Let me get the report. Ready. What has
changed? something's changed here home. Mm hmm. Well, yeah,
well, you can't you can't you can't Oh, I know. That's
strange. I can't you can't do your report. I can't. Okay,
maybe if we're lucky
because of what's happening in Greenland right now. The maps of
the world will have to be redrawn. Here we go.
This is what would happen to San Francisco Bay.
Slash support we switch over live to John she'd Morag?
Well, I'm looking out the window and the mudflats are still
there. There hasn't been any sea rise at all. But more
importantly, over the last over Christmas, one of our nice math
to heli in Quebec, but you sent me a couple of maps USGS maps. I
don't know where he got them. And he but they're beautifully
put together in laminated and the whole thing. And the one he
got me a map of like the year or so ago, which shows the mudflats
clearly. And then he got me a map from 1895 Nice, which is
actually quite entertaining to just go over and look at the
little town a giant which seems to have disappeared. The the
people there's a we have a Richmond, Richmond San Rafael
bridge. And it turns out that the where the Richmond site is
that was actually a standalone island in a bunch of mud flats
that were filled in. It's very interesting. Oh map. Well, the
funny thing is mud flats that I'm reporting on, where they're,
they're just as they are now, in 1895. Where is this sea level
rise? We're talking about over 100 years, 100 and 115 years,
and we have no change. I'm not seeing what Gore is talking
about.
I think the message is if you don't vote for Pitbull, you die
of climate change.
Whatever the case. So still out there to summarise to summarise
to summarise the One Plus shit.
Just the just the report the report we're still alive.
Outstanding.
I really appreciate that map. It was very interesting. We go the
family now he goes, it's at the dinner table. You're looking
into all look at this. This is the old Oakland mole where it
became the Bay Bridge. And you can see there's no bridges. Old
Maps are going to here and there and the old maps are great to
look at. Yeah, as much detail this very detailed map who made
that map? Who was RGS. Oh, cool.
Excellent. I think we need to discuss this, what's going on in
Oregon, with the icon, the Oregon authors. This is about
the group a guy is taking over the Malheur National Wildlife
refugee headquarters. Have you followed this at all?
I'm remembering I'm starting to starting to come into the ice
nothing I've been following No.
So what the news is reporting and it's just kind of starting
up now. They're using one consistent word. So I'll read
you just three headlines. Militia takes over Malheur
National Wildlife Refuge headquarters armed militia,
occupy Forest Reserve headquarters armed militia
protest occupy Oregon national refuge building.
So it appears it's appears to me just generalising from those
three headlines that they're emphasising militia.
Yes, exactly. So I spent probably about It's an hour and
a half. Last night, I
should, I should also mention that it has a connotation has
been developed into public consciousness over the last,
probably the last 40 years has been Malicious or bad.
And to say malicious means, you know, brings in crazy gun rights
guys because supremacy armed militia has a right to bear arms
white crazy guys. And the way it's being presented is you
know, these are just those crazy gun guys of their authors and
they're against the government. But really what's happening in
this case,
explain what an author is very continue.
There's a group of people who call themselves authors, and
they solemnly live by the oath to defend and uphold the
Constitution. And so they're of course, they're all just
like the president.
No, no, that's okay. Depends on your view. Yeah, just like the
president. And so the way this kind of comes across because a
little crossover and you know, a little confusion with the Bundy
ranch and the Bureau of Land Management, but what is
happening here took a while to get into it to really figure out
what the actual problem is, there were two guys who, who
lived there in that area. And they were using the their land
for for their cows or cattle to graze on. And they had started
fires on a couple of acres, to burn it down to the grass can
grow again. And one of these fires got out of control and
burned down a couple acres of land that they had these guys
had no right to be on. And this happened years ago, this
happened, I think, seven or eight years ago. And they were
convicted of each got three months, I think and they had to
pay back $400,000 in damages for the land that was burned. And
the court came back and said, No, no, we're arresting you
again. Do you now have to go to jail for five years. And the
reason why this changed is because they now have charged
these guys under the 1996 Terrorism Law. That states if
you commit arson, then you are a domestic terrorist, and you will
be jailed for no less than five years. And the judge is now
saying hey, you know, you clearly are a terrorist. Because
you you committed arson. And it's 9096. Terrorism Law is very
strange. I don't think we've ever discussed this or read
this. I and it's a pretty large document. And so they've been re
sentenced under the Terrorism Law. And that of course,
it was encouragement.
The Attorney General I guess, boy, you don't know that? I
don't know. No, I don't know. But I think that's the whoever
maliciously damages or destroys or attempts to damage or destroy
by means of fire, or an explosive any building vehicle
or other personal or real property in whole or in part
owned, possessed by or leased to the United States or any
department or agency thereof shall be imprisoned for not less
than five years and not more than 20 years. So because the
fire burned on federal land
is a grass fire. Yeah.
Tara terrorism?
Yeah, it's, it's in the 1996 Terrorism Law.
So what it says.
Now, the way this is being handled in the media is
completely different. Of course not I don't think you'll see
that discussed at all what the case is really about other than,
hey, it's a bunch of oh, there's crazy militia guys. And I was
watching CNN, I could not believe what, what's the guy's
name? LZ. Granderson, what's his name? The EX football guy with
the dreadlocks and you know, I'm talking about LZ I think his
name is LZ. So listen to the conversation of where he takes
it.
This does not happen in a vacuum. This happens because for
years, people in the media, people in politics, people in
positions of power have ratcheted up this rhetoric,
about revolutionaries about tea party ism Minute Men have made
an explicit comparison between where we are and the 1770s
you see what this is, this is the mean, this is all crazy
revolutionary guys. 1776 all nuts, nut jobs, and then
I think there's a very good chance it ends in violence. That
was the episode that frightens me, more than the crazy comments
that got blown out then became a political issue.
piggyback off that though, can you imagine what would have
happened if a black man and his his supporters who didn't pay
taxes stood in defiance to the federal government with semi
assault rifles and weapons standing there saying Don't
tread on me if a black man was in a situation?
No, probably there would be no issue at all. That's disgusting.
What he did there.
Is that what they're We're doing
that's what they're doing. Oh, imagine if it were a black man.
No, I mean, is that what they're doing standing there? Were
brandishing their weapons. Not only they were not
they were some of them were carrying but not brandishing by
the technical. Hands up, don't shoot. But for this guy to say,
oh, and that was a black guy off the shot in the head right away.
No, no, I don't think so. I don't think so. But that kind of
rhetoric that is real rhetoric. Well, did you walk to the
bathroom? Walk to
the bathroom? I went to get a sheet of paper. Okay. But I want
to hear more you stopped out at after the black guy. Well,
that's
all I got. That means? Oh, I'm sorry. It's all the same.
There's got to be some bigger scheme here. To get me to look
into it's coming.
It's coming. I think this I think this is the scheme is
again to point out, you know, it's great timing, the
president's going to bring in some executive orders. It's
great timing, say, Well, you know, we also got these crazies
out there. Militia militia, the group of guys, they don't have
uniforms on that are coordinated uniforms. They don't have ranks.
And do they have patches? No, no, no, some are wearing camo
pants. That would be about it.
No big deal. You can't go anywhere without wearing camo
pants.
But I'm quite worried that this is not going well. Um, it's
already not being reported as to what the actual issue is, but
it's going to be used, as you heard, you know, Oh, these are
crazy guys. You know, they love this stuff. Yeah. But again, the
federal government hate him tea partiers. Ah, yeah, he's right.
All right. Well, let's see what else we got. Oh, I got it. Just
start with the beginning of the year. Here's the January one
report says January one. This is ABCs kind of have a look at
what's ahead.
And we begin with terror concerns and that deaths in Tel
Aviv. The urgent manhunt for a gunman you see him there caught
on camera pulling an assault weapon from his backpack, taking
the first steps of a shooting rampage. And in France soldiers
opening fire, wounding a driver who went into them on a ramus
car into a mosque. high tensions on this the first day of 2016
and we start with ABCs. Alex Marquardt been moving around the
attacker paces and pretends to shop before heading for the door
putting down his backpack an opening fire with an automatic
weapon. The next door bar sprayed with bullets as people
tried to flee the quiet of New Year's Day in central Tel Aviv
shattered to dead and seven wounded. The motive of the
gunman reportedly and Israeli Arab is unclear amid reports he
was mentally unstable and smiled during the attack. And I myself
and I even a waiting that finished but it was like Israel
is hardly new to violence and terror, while Europe after the
Paris attacks is a continent on edge as it starts to grapple
with a new reality and new possible threats. In France
today, soldiers guarding a mosque fired and a driver who
twice tried to ram them. They wounded the attacker who ended
up in a ditch. French authorities say they're
investigating the motive. Munich shut down two train stations on
New Year's Eve after intelligence warned of a
specific attack involving ISIS suicide bombers here in London
3000 police officers were deployed for New Year's
celebrations and there were no incidents. But there's no
mistaking the jitters across Europe now with one top German
official calling the situation a general permanent terror threat.
A sobering phrase All right, Alex,
sobering fries.
I have I have a report Herman it What was it you gotta go? A
little bit clip at the end? Because that's like the phrase,
a permanent threat. And by the way, I want to ask you, let's
remember that. Maybe before you're trying to but there was a
Munich Olympics and then a bunch of a bunch of Israeli athletes.
And then there's a guy named a jackal who used to blow up
planes and there was a raid on Entebbe where he was hijacked,
and Uganda buncefield dead. How can we have cut that's what's
been going on since I was a kid. What's changed so much, that we
have to have this dis complete? Well, this is your tactic aimed
at the public does not. It doesn't seem new to me. In fact,
I mean, it seems like old and so what let me
take you back in time to 1975 January 29. No, by January
1 1975. Here is the report on the news at the time. In 1975.
The James Shepard programme to bring you this further update in
connection with the tragic disaster at LaGuardia airport
tonight in what a powerful bomb explosion that devastated the
baggage area in the main terminal at the airport, killed
At least well first and injured at least 75 others.
Okay, this was the bombing at LaGuardia. It happened on
December 29 1975. Between then and New Year's. New York
transits authority didn't shut down. Dick Clark did not cancel
his New Year's Rockin Eve. A huge crowd did not decide to not
come to Time Square travellers had upcoming flights, they
weren't cancelled. Now there's your there's your question as to
what happened.
Okay, that's not the question. That's just more proof of what I
said. Well, yeah,
yes, there's proof of that. Thank you. It's proof that we we
were not like this. We were not all scared out of our wits and
on no nutty. We didn't like it. I'm sure.
Now they in Brussels. I didn't. I had a clip of this. And
somewhere along the lines, it was screwed up. And last, but it
wasn't much more than what I'm going to say. So Brussels shuts
down, dude, because they're all freaked out. So they shut down
to host city. They're not going to have their celebrations.
Nothing, right. Yep. And I said, Right. On purpose. You do
anything to get at it, but I did it to get in a listen you to say
yes. This is different than just saying it just mentioned that
the people keep track
instead of Yes. When you say right, I'll say Right. Right.
Right, right.
Or say no, no, I won't do that. So these kids, and this is all
over YouTube. Take somebody's car that's just parked casually
on the street bunch of hooligans. They take his car,
and they push it down one of the close train station stairways.
Have you seen this? No, no, it's hilarious. So the car starts
going down the stairways and it picks up speed and it goes all
the way down onto the platform into the train station. rolls
over a few times and creates a big mess down there. The kids
all run off. Never to be caught.
Of course not. What is the security we're looking for
terrorists they didn't look there didn't look the part they
didn't have towels on the head now, man. Unbelievable. Well,
almost as unbelievable as Munich shutting down on New Year's on
alert in
Munich is wrong with this Germans
ik two train stations were closed in the German city on New
Year's Eve amid fears the militants were about to launch
attacks. Police say they received very concrete
information from the intelligence agency of a
friendly country.
Tia, let me think us Hey, BND. Yeah, fair on January 1. Be
afraid be afraid
that I still was planning to strike to the Federal Criminal
Police gave us specific information about possible
attacks here in Munich. He says you're concerned the main
station in Munich and pacing station, there was a unanimous
evaluation that the information was to be taken seriously.
That's why we took the appropriate security measures.
Police also say that ISIL had planned to use suicide bombers
in the attacks. People in Munich are advised to avoid the train
stations and crowded areas amid the terror alert.
Yeah, yeah, this is but this is how you do it. This is how you
do it. This is how you scare the bejesus out of
you. It's working it is and if you look if you did a Google
search for bomb threats actually Mimi pointed this out to me.
They're all over the place. It's like everywhere you go there's
the schools have been closed down. There's one thing after
another every little towns got a bomb to run by these by punks,
who are just you know, somehow they've gotten on to a T one or
they if they're smart. They've gotten them some untraceable
infected turned out there and discussing some of the NSA
tactics of covering, you know, sucking up all these phone
calls, it turns out that one report came out that they could
really only access 30% of the of the phones in the country
anyway, so it's useless. Because you can now you know, through
Google Voice, all kinds of different ways you can find to
get around the normal Potts system, the phone system,
and there's so many holes you don't want you you gotta wonder
why we aren't just under constant attack. everywhere so
many
of these kids, I think a lot of them are just Jokers are making
these threats to shut down to school because they don't want
to go to schools. Possibility actly Yeah, I want to go to
school today. I can imagine go do something else. Well, how are
we going to do that bill? Let me make a call. And so the schools
shut down and then of course they haven't caught anybody.
They're gonna have to they're gonna have to create a
sacrificial
goat. Well, we got one we got one on New Year's.
Okay, well, they're going to need to get a few more they get
that throw the book at them and scare these other kids. So they
stopped doing this. This is going to continue. This bombed
the phoney bomb threats are going to continue throughout
2016 If something isn't done about it, I have the I don't
know what you can do about it.
Before me the criminal criminal complaint against Emanuel l
Luxman. From December 20. fifth through the 30th. This is what
we would call a six week cycle event. And now it's only 11
pages I read through the complaint. These things are
published almost immediately so you can know what's going on.
Here is CNNs take on this guy who was planning on blowing up
Time Square. His name is
Emmanuel Larchmont. He's 25 years old. And what the FBI says
he planned to do was to carry out an attack at a restaurant in
the Rochester area tonight, New Year's Eve and he was in touch
with and directed by according to the FBI, an ISIS member
overseas. He his plot plot was to carry out this attack using
pressure cooker, cooker bombs and knives, perhaps kidnap a
couple of people and kill them. The FBI really says though,
that, you know, this guy has got a long criminal history in New
York, including for robbery and for mental health issues. And He
plotted with a couple of FBI informants, including one who
was $19,000 and other paid $7,000. For their work helping
the FBI with these cases. He recorded a video yesterday,
pledging allegiance to ISIS before carrying out what he
plans to carry out this attack today in Rochester. Here's
another one of these saps 25 year old kid man the FBI mental
problems
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for the following scenario. Because I
know it even though when maybe be a lot of money, it would
cause all kinds of problems in congressional hearings, some
smart cookie for a change, acting stupid, you know, instead
of the normal dummy that just goes along with anything because
he's an idiot, right? But some smart guy gets the FBI embroiled
in one of these deals where they go, oh, yeah, I'm gonna blow up
the whole place. I'm gonna take down that entire Empire State
Building. Well, what are you what are you gonna have to do?
Yes, is good, we'll, we'll get you there. You know, subscribe
to the ISIL theory or make a pledge, and each and soak the
FBI for like, I need $20,000
It seems that if you are the if you're the guy who's the target,
you may get like 100 bucks, if you want, you're
gonna have to get you if you're good grifter, you should be able
to soak them soak the government for 50 Well, I think a or so and
then take off, just disappear.
So the from the criminal complaint, there are not one,
not two, but three confidential sources. All these are the guys
that were paid money, they got no collective almost $30,000
from the FBI for sucking this guy in over months and months
and months. It's so so disgusting. He's being charged
with an attempt to provide material support and resources
namely himself as personnel and services to a designated foreign
terrorist organisation, namely the Islamic State of Iraq and
Levant. ISIL. Knowing that ISIL was a designated foreign
terrorist organisation that ISIL had engaged in and was engaging
in terrorist activity and terrorism. Now, this is what we
were all talking about and warning about many years ago,
that these the change of definition of terror and we saw
that earlier with the guys who are being thrown in jail for
five years because they're now terrorists. So you're a
terrorist if you even have intent, intent. So this, see
here we go. Emmanuel el Watchmen, a 25 year old United
States citizen was a kid is younger, the mind kids a moron,
these kids are still morons that can then not fool human beings
yet. Who currently resides in Rochester, New York. He's a self
professed Muslim convert with a criminal history dating back to
approximately 2006, which includes a New York State
conviction for robbery ever, which he served approximately
five years in prison, as well as previous State Mental Hygiene
arrests.
Let's Yeah, you look that up. Yeah,
there's mental hygiene laws
didn't just come up.
I don't remember us talking about mental hygiene laws, not
the law. But we I think we even made a joke about how is your
mental hygiene? Well, it turns out there's quite a number of
Mental Hygiene laws. And if you're an if you're not
considered to be you know, this is how you get 5150 You get
thrown in, thrown in the in the loony bin against your will. And
onward. His plot to kill a civilian in November and
December 2015. Luxman, had several electronic and
telephonic communications with confidential source one. And
these communications lessman made numerous statements
expressing his strong support of ISIL. So that is right there.
That's you're in violation. In late December, he told CES, a
confidential source he had been in contact with overseas
individual who identified himself as ISIL membrane who
knows who he was talking to honour about the 25th or 26th of
December he communicated with the overseas individual who
identified himself as a brother with ISIL. In those
communications Luqman asked what it was like in ISIL. And the guy
for now this is where it starts to get radicalised and dream can
come true. If you can't come over here, you got to prove
yourself by blowing something up over there. And then these
sources here you as they saw he needed to get ready to blow
something up and he talks to confidential source three. And
he says, Well, let's go get some stuff. You know, you could use a
knife this is this is what they said to him. He used a knife or
maybe a pressure cooker bomb. That's what they're saying to
him to him. Yeah. And he said well, I don't have been telling
him on the idea well, even better, he didn't have enough
money. So they went to a Walmart store on Hudson Avenue in
Rochester to purchase supplies to black ski masks, zip ties to
knives and machete duct tape ammonia latex gloves
due to the fact that they got through they got that through
the line
well, that's interesting you bring that up have nothing
really to live for and they say Why don't you go out with a bang
quite literally the other point I have to make Wait hold on
stop. They told them you've got nothing to live for.
No, not according to the answer to the criminal complaint but
they did say if you want to they do not say blow yourself up so
if you could prove yourself then you will be welcome in the
Islamic State headquarters have
nothing really to live for and they say Why don't you go out
with a bang quite literally. The other point I have to make is
this. Evan mentioned the that these guys including one FBI
informant managed to buy I wrote this down this is extraordinary
to black ski masks, zip ties to knives, a machete duct tape,
ammonia and latex gloves. And they got away with it at Walmart
whoever runs that Walmart in Rochester should be fired I know
what kind of cashier allows two men to buy this kind of
equipment so close I know
why these guys are smart. They chose the black checker faster
to
busy getting them out fast and efficient lasted through this
machine around two seconds.
That is a call back to a previous episode checkers are
sorry but then they recorded a video and so they the the
confidential source paid for all this stuff and then they arrest
the guy they because they could have waited longer I think they
should have
just see that the FBI is staying on to this theme because no one
has busted their chops for doing it in Congress. It says stop
this bull crap you find it some more on on the street and then
talk him in talking him into doing something like this and
paying for the whole thing while coaching him this is not a guy
that should normally be doing this
I think that I think the point where he wants to go buy
materials or he is coerced into buying
much the guy says well I don't think this is a good idea. I
don't think this is a good idea. You don't know that that's never
brought out the guy may have been reluctant the whole time
but he's he's one of those guys you can sell on anything you get
a good salesman in front of anybody, anybody and they can
sell so what sales is all about?
I mean this this guy needed to be picked up and he needed his
mental hygiene checked. Because who in their right mind is an
idiot like this?
He's an idiot but yeah, just bunches of these people out
there. Yeah
no, they should have just stopped this kid stop him just
sit them down and say know what your problem was. Let's look at
your problems to a form of a form of six week cycle
Yeah, kind of it's like the old throw I think this is just roll
time sake
just to bring out the news
the department a the budget is gonna be killed on our
department
What do we got? We got who we paying out there this
confidential source we paid him 20 grand and tell him to go get
somebody that would this clown Unbeliev they
could target some poor sap Well, yeah, they do. That's what I
know of. I mean somebody that you don't like like a like a
somebody is you know stirring things up in some small
community and trying to give make things better maybe fight
poverty. Target him Yeah. As great
Yeah, so it's kind of this year the same as last year. Well,
that's good for the show. And with that, I would like to thank
you for your courage and say in the morning you John see them
Dvorak
Good morning to you Mr. Adam curry in the morning all boots

very much for tuning in and no agenda stream.com Thank you to
PewDiePie we have kind of a nick the right PewDiePie thing going

the small batch edition with the salt which is that was it was
the best piece it was loved it loved it no agenda are generated
art calm. Please do whatever you can it that is a great way to
help the show if you have talent.
Well, even if you don't have talent, you have a good idea.
Some of the good ideas are you know they're not theirs. is
great not to have you get well you have to
have I think that a little talent is
a little challenging or at least desire. Well let's start off by
thanking the executive producers and Associate Executive Producer
we have 12334 Executive Producers and 1234 is a perfect
balance of standing. Starting with a big one though Jeanette
Hill in Dayton, Texas 1154 She becomes an instant instant Dan.
Dame she has she's becoming the first game of 2016 when you go

Yeah. Cool.
longtime fan of JC these writings etc. So when I was
looking for podcasts over Thanksgiving weekend, she's new
no agenda was a natural try. At some this is what I liked so
much. She's been listening for a month and she's coughed up
became an instant Dame that's fantastic. As someone who spends
free time double checking MSM information that just doesn't
seem right. No agenda is a blessing. I've learned so much
in a short time. I'm so pleased with Adams staunch supporter of
the Constitution of the United States and reminding both
holders it is their job to uphold, which is your bid.
Yeah, well, like the president and elected officials who think
they will forget this. Yes.
As I listened to back episodes, I'm already hitting people in
the mouth to help educate as many slaves as possible in an
effort to help them earn their freedom. I believe it's
important to set an example of a Texan. Yeah, of course, no doubt
about it. I believe it's important to set an example for
paying for products used especially when solely supported
by the listeners. I'm therefore playing it paying it forward
have it figured each episodes proceeds are divided between the
two of you and then as independent employees you pay
both halves of social insecurity to the IRS. It gets a half of
that leaving you with these about a quarter income to live
on. And mass about right and also I'm sending a check so Pay
Pal won't reduce the amount even more and then she goes on with a
long long list of where this and that goes. 888-999-4512 JC these
favourites and once you get a whole list them she's given
every kind of iteration and adds up to what it did. Does she want
any special jingles? She would like that yet? Yes. She would
like to be named Dame Janet or Jeanette it could be

morning, John anatomy As a small token of my appreciation for the

opportunity to give a shout out to Kyle, my best friend in the
world really like a brother to me as he's shipped off to marine

programme on thursday.org/in A new year, we got new chances to
be out there amongst the people and propagating the formula. Our
formula
is this. We go out, we get people in the mouth Amen. Shut
up.
So have you heard about the greatest achievement, America's
greatest achievement? 2015?
No, no, I must have missed over
here. Just play the clip and then we'll discuss it.
The US State Department's also been in a bit of a reflective
mood taking a look at the past year and to the surprise of many
not least Syrians and outlined bringing peace and security to
Syria as one of America's greatest achievement bands bend
over. You're ready for that? Weren't you? Oh, man. Oh, not
really. Oh,
come on. That's great. What hubris we Hey, those of you
drowning off the coast of Greece. Enjoy your peace. Wow.
Apologies. I
didn't do it. It was like Kirby.
Apologies for being such a holes, the Kirby do we have
Kirby actually saying that?
I wish I did. Written It's written all over the place, but
I don't have that as
grand. Oh, my goodness. Well, I think it's a great achievement.
I'm very proud of the work we've done.
We know how to do things, right? We should do.
So what we had expected we even did a little skit about it. We
were fully expecting the lie that Hillary Clinton told that
ISIS was using Donald Trump in recruitment videos. Of course,
none of those can be found.
Quick reminds a liar. She's a pathological liar. Oh, she's
a lie I wanted to play. I have two clips archives. Here's the
clip that you played in regard to the
lie, gather. You are not our adversary. You are our partner.
And we also need to make sure that the really discriminatory
messages that Trump is sending around the world don't fall
unreceptive ears. He is becoming ISIS, his best recruiter, they
are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting
Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadist.
So I want to explain why this is not in America's interest to
react with this kind of fear and respond to this sort of bigotry.
And then we have the spokesperson for the Clinton
campaign. This is the the woman who we joked about I just
clipped a little bit. And I heard something new. That
happens. So often, when you listen to something a couple
times you might pass over it. We were probably laughing to this
thing. This is a woman who was hyperventilating, trying to
cover up this blatant lie that her boss made. And she brings up
Rita Katz, OF THE SITE Intelligence Group, who of
course, already had this. They didn't, but we knew they would
come up with it. I heard something new in this
bit. You know what Secretary Clint was saying last night.
It's one of the one of the many dangerous things about Donald
Trump is that his hot rhetoric say we should not allow Muslim
refugees into the country is being used. And this is
something that the site or national site, international
group has, who monitors social media and on ISIS has said there
have been no videos well, what what they have said is that they
are using him they he's being used in social media, by ISIS as
propaganda. She'd have a particular video in mind, but
he's being used in social media.
Okay, so that the last part I hadn't caught, first of all pay
attention to the tense Hillary Clinton says, you know, it's a,
it's happening now it's present tense. She says SITE
Intelligence Group. That's what they do. At the listen to the
end. She keeps saying they do this day. There's at the very
end, she says, Well, she said, Listen to a very careful
media, by ISIS as propaganda. She'd have a particular video in
mind, but he's being used in social media.
She didn't have a particular video in mind. I missed that the
first time. So they had already spoken to Rita Katz.
She doesn't have that. No, I thought she meant Hillary when
she said she
I know a bit if you listen, maybe I thought in context,
she's talking about the SITE Intelligence Group. No. Let's
listen to the last 20 seconds again, I have a feeling
and an ISIS has said there had been no videos well, what what
they have said is that they are using him they he is being used.
Instead she said SITE Intelligence Group on back.
She never said sight and Yes, she did. Yes she did. She did
not not
an ISIS husband.
Oh, backing up more crap. Oh, here we go. It's being used.
And this is something that the site or national site,
international issues this site right you heard it or pas
who monitors social media and on ISIS has said there had been no
videos. Well, what, what they have said is that they are using
him they are they that site. He's been used in social media,
by ISIS as propaganda. She'd have a particular video in mind,
but he's being used in social media. So
and then she be
naming the way Jade came across to me initially was that it was
she was talking about Hillary didn't have a particular video,
but you're right. The references are all site site site, and then
she has to be a reference to somebody inside the US it was
Rita Katz.
So a video comes out lo and behold, there's an insanely dumb
home I got they just hacked an existing video and threw in that
piece about Donald Trump. Yeah, they just they just did a
reenact
time to do more. Either way video takes a long time. But
I've we've said that talked about this before,
if they had enough time to do something good. They did. I
don't know why. I love the news coverage of remember present
tense, they're using Trump. This is ABC
Good Morning, America breaking overnight, Donald Trump starring
in a new terrorist recruitment video
starring just I love that he's starring in it. No, he's not
starring in it. He's jacked in with one line. Donald
J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims
entering the United States who does
this and I found the it's in the shownotes, the original video,
which is what is it called? It's it's called the I can't remember
I think it's in the show notes. You can see because it goes from
Anwar al aulaqi, who's speaking and then just continues, but in
the new video, it goes from Anwar Locky to Trump and then it
continues it is it I have the original video, they spliced it
in these lying sacks
and Hillary Clinton may have actually been right.
They are going to
they might have been right.
We've all gotten that well, so now they're saying Oh,
transparent now they're saying that she now they're saying she
predicted it instead of she said it was already happening. This
ABC is an example after example of the
United States.
Does this mean Hillary Clinton
may have actually been right? They are going to people showing
videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims. This is the
first known instance of extremists using Trump's
language to attract followers, although not by ISIS, as Hillary
Clinton predicted he is becoming ISIS is best recruiter, the
Democratic front runner ignited words with
what this is interesting what they've done. They have changed
her discussion from he does the did this and there's videos to
to they changed it to predict to make it soften the blow. Yeah,
she didn't say and she just predicted they're lying. They're
lying.
It's unconscionable almost
predict anything. They don't they never call her out. And
where's Trump saying anything anti Muslim?
Well, he didn't say that. He said this.
They've created ISIS. Hillary Clinton created ISIS with Obama.
Well, in the general election, let me finish off the ABC.
Clinton predicted
he is becoming ISIS is best recruiter. The Democratic front
runner ignited a war of words with Trump when she warned that
his rhetoric would become recruiting fodder. They are
going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam
and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadist.
Now there is a whole bunch of things coming together with
this. I think the plan is to do an all out we'll pull it all
into one bundle. As now we have this is also ABC. But they're
really they're pulling out all the stops
when ABC has given up on there, so they're going with Hillary
Yeah,
also breaking tonight, a terror group revealing its new
propaganda video featuring Donald Trump using his call to
ban Muslims from entering the US as a recruitment tool. The very
issue brought up during the last democratic debate. ABC senior
national correspondent Jim Avila. Now just
so you know, this is a slight variant. But this came after the
first where, you know, Hillary Clinton predicted this would
happen. Now there's a variation as more
Muslims of the West it's not for
ISIS, but the Muslim extremist terror group al Shabaab, the al
Qaeda arm in Somalia, has posted a recruitment video using Donald
Trump's famous bow to bar Muslims from travelling to the
United States.
Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of
Muslims entering the United Sage
the video is titled the pasture paradise and encourages African
Americans in the US to convert to Islam.
This is new, we're bringing that in again to
join the jihad. Trump's words are sandwiched between venture
recorded words the US one and cleric Anwar Awlaki, who was
killed in a US drone strike four years ago. He says the West will
eventually turn on its Muslim citizens and seems to use
Trump's words to support his premise. Hillary Clinton said
ISIS would produce video
would produce video wouldn't produce video no, she said they
have produced videos
using Trump's Muslim travel ban as a recruiting tool. But until
tonight, there has been no evidence of anything even close
to that. Gemma ABC travelling wait.
She never said that. No, that is just a false report from ABC of
false report and
they bring it in the Black Lives Matter thing and
report. The thing. Here's an interesting thing, too. This is
an I believe, where did this come from? This came off of
MSNBC. I think yeah, I'm pretty sure. And this was this was a
little this is kind of related. This is a Howard Dean. Oh, I
have this clip. Oh my god. Well, Howard Dean, come on. I can't
believe you you stole this was gonna be my clip of the day.
Oh, it's got this was going to be my clip of the day but I
already got Clip of the Day then let me play the clip. You can
play your clip because I just thought I was just jaw dropped
that anyone would say this. This
is well, we know it's true. We know it's now Howard Dean ran
for president he got he screwed up. They they took them out. And
now he runs. He's a big dude in the in the party, right?
Yeah, he was the head of the party for a while. And now he's
just a blowhard goes. Well, he's
a blowhard, and he
tells the truth. It is going to be very interesting Howard Dean
to see how Bill Clinton handles Donald Trump on the trail. What
can we expect? I would
say that Donald Trump has finally met more than his match
Bill Clinton's the best politician in this country.
Probably the best politician we've seen in this country since
Franklin Roosevelt. And he's not going to respond to Donald
Trump. Donald Trump is really good at what he does his skills
don't compare to Bill Clinton the skill so I think he's just
helping us by by criticising Bill Clinton. Bill cleanse not
gonna He's gonna let it float. He'll come up with a couple of
great one liners that are put him down. This is like Newt
Gingrich complaining about the back being in the back of the
plane and it completely undid the whole Republican attack on
Clinton in 1996. Whatever it was, you just don't mess with
Bill Clinton. You're gonna be finding yourself Six Feet Under
before you know your name.
It's almost too delicious to believe my friend.
Yes, right. Everyone knows it. Don't mess with Bill. Yeah, give
me six. Six Feet Under. I love that. I love to believe
this guy.
He said it. Yeah, well,
he's an idiot.
The good thing about all of this is that the video did not come
from ISIL. It came from Al Shabaab. And the reason I like
it is because it gives me an excuse to play the jingle. She
should meanwhile, Kaler, Hillary, abusing children once
again. She abused the young boy for her messaging and a recent
stand up and she did it again. Brought a kid on stage. And it's
this is so prep. That kid is reading off a cue card. Stay
standing right next to her reading the card when you
become president. What is your plan to connect mental health
problems and guns to make sure that me my brothers and my
friends are safe from violence at school?
I'm gonna do everything I can do.
And you believe that? That's terrible. terrorise this child.
Yeah, terrorise the child
and scare the kids something. This gun is going to happen at a
school. These schools have been attacked. Ever. Wow. The
problem? Yeah, many schools are in this country.
100,000
I think it's 80. Okay, close to it. It's a lot of schools. Yeah.
People don't I mean, again, this isn't like nothing new. This has
happened ever since I was a kid. These sorts of events. And now
it's all you know, Let's scare everybody to death because we
can't scare him about the atom bomb. Although if we keep going
with our attitude with the Russians, possibly get that back
into play. That'd be fun. Now. We'll sell some bomb shelters.
To the murderer was a kid. People had bomb shelters. They
built these bomb shelters. They're still I think in the
suburbs of most of America. You will find home with bombs they
also have a bomb shelter built in the backyard. And the bomb
shelters are usually used for like it kind of expanded
pantries or you know some of that keeps you away. I suppose
if you listen to the seed guy you probably
precede your season your ham radio down there. Yeah.
We had a guy in our neighbourhood that had a bomb
shelter and the kids would all get to visit he likes to give
tours.
Hey, want to come to my bomb shelter kids
a lot of these bomb shelters have Kool Aid and remember some
of this were they were dig the big hole in the backyard instead
of putting a pool and and then they drop in what appeared to be
a giant gasoline tank. Yeah, made by the same guys who made
gasoline tanks for gas stations. And the gasoline tank was
outfitted with some ports that would come up through the ground
so you can get a fresh air.
Good times.
Lights.
So now we have this. You know, the media is just loving
everything that's happening around Donald Trump saying he's
going to spend more money. And of course we all love the Trump
versus Bill Clinton brouhaha that is going down. But when you
listen to CNN, they think Bill Clinton's poop don't stink.
It'll be interesting arrow is when we see Bill Clinton out on
the campaign trail next week in New Hampshire. Does Bill Clinton
address any get within a million miles of any of this?
Well, you put your finger on exactly what is going on here is
to take Bill Clinton out of the equation wants to either
embarrass him or otherwise frighten him off the campaign
trail, unlikely to happen. But that is the strategy to sort of
get him out of the picture so that he can go after Hillary
Clinton without her biggest booster one of the most popular
Democrats in the country. I don't think that's going to
happen. But you know, after what we've seen with the Bill Cosby,
and with our old accusations, there are about 14 Women who
could be said to have made claims at one time or another 14
Well, that I mean, that's if you have to vote those sort of the
right wing websites and radio crowd,
junk radio.
14, that's not positive 14 is
not possible.
It's a lot more than 14, I can promise you that
nice fabric.
Oh, and there was a good conversation on Fox conversation
about Trump's ad spend, which I thought was worth sharing
millionaire
Donald Trump is expected to next week launch a major ad campaign
costing upwards of $2 million per week. So how will this ad
blitz shape the race in 2016 $2 million a week? Hasn't Donald
Trump in bragging about the fact that he's gotten so much
coverage from the media he hasn't had to spend any money on
app so why now?
Well, right, why should he start spending money now? What he's
gotten all of this advertising for free? It's been all Trump
all the time. Just about 70 to 80% of the coverage that he has
played in the media, like a Stratovarius threatened I should
he start investing in ads now won't that be as Donald Trump
himself said? Too much Trump? Too much Trump?
Honestly, I don't think he's going to because Judith is right
he doesn't have to this he he's he's he is playing the press
like a fiddle. He's playing all of you all like a fiddle. I've
gotta say this he says this because it's going to be nonstop
coverage. Just him saying to him saying that he's going to spend
money on advertising up for a politician to say that that's
like a reporter saying I'm going to write a story. There's no
there there to that statement. Everybody does that.
I think he's right.
Everybody picked it up. Yeah, it can sell for jeans self analyse
their own stupid store as cheap.
As great. I love it.
All right. Well, let's, let's take a long term on again an
entre Mon. Okay. In other words, getting in to do with anything
is just kind of interesting. Yeah. It's something that I've
seen this building in Oakland for years, and I didn't know
anything about it. And I always thought it was kind of a funny
name for a college, but play the Oaksterdam clip. Ah. Yes.
Oaksterdam
University was first founded in 2007 here in Oakland,
California. Since then, nearly 25,000 students have crossed
through our doors to learn everything about cannabis
growing cannabis policy, and how to change the law in their neck
of the woods. Being a
student here at Oaksterdam University is like being a
student anywhere else. We read, we study we have midterms,
homework, it's a lot of work, but it's a lot of fun.
Oaksterdam University,
America's first cannabis College. Can I get this and I
get a student loan for that
is like an add on. I think Al Jazeera or CNN Well, Fanta was
the CNF Sure.
I think in Oregon now that they're starting the new year
25% tax on marijuana sales.
That's a good deal. Well, yeah,
that's a great deal.
Yeah, Oregon's finding their way. I mean, Colorado they
should ever just copy what they did. They did it. They did a
fine job of it
worked out. Well. Yeah. Let's see what I have. Oh yeah, if we
have hams in New York City I found something pretty cool. On
one of the ham bulletin boards, amateur radio operators. It
turns out that the if BS in New York City to the what they've
used in the studio, we have a little earpiece that your is a
call is an internal fullback I think is the
bright sunlight. Yes, got some crazy name like that, right? And
the
idea is you hear the control room, you hear whatever else you
need to hear. But not necessarily your own voice, I
don't think, right. But these are wireless, most of them. And
I have a list of 15 frequencies. And if you're, I mean, this is
all in the 70 metre 70 centimetre something like 450
megahertz, you can within it probably within half a mile. You
can just go near the studios and you can record these things are
open and live all the time. Who it'd be nice to record a few
Yes, this is my thinking. Or maybe someone can set it up, you
know, broadcast defy, you know, just get a if you're in the
area, just put a receiver up and then stream it on the web, I
think be fantastic. That'd be great. And they're unencrypted.
Oh,
yeah. Why was you encrypted?
For the very reason that we're going to send a ham radio guys
to go record the horrible things that are being said,
now that you mentioned it, but you're not thinking that way
when you set up shop? No. I thought it was lovely to hear
the IFBB in some of these wouldn't be great. Cut them off,
cut them off. Get him out of here. Get him out right now.
There's a number of interesting things going on internationally
that we need to at least be aware of. Yes, good. And
what do we got? Oh, let's
start with Taiwan. Apparently in tight the Taiwanese are about to
elect as their new president that that new honcho, a woman.
And this is actually becoming a disconcerting for the Chinese.
They don't like women running things. Well, they don't like
this one. Okay. Hit it.
Well, the reason why I think there's so much interest in
these elections, the sixth since Taiwan became a democracy 20
years ago, is that for the first time and a Taiwanese
presidential election, a woman is the clear front runner. She
resigning when 59 years old, single and leader of the
Independence leaning Democratic Progressive Party, which is why
China is watching these elections so closely. If she
wins in two weeks time, she will become Taiwan's first female
president, as well as the first female president in a Chinese
society. She has said that she wants good relations with China,
but worries that Taiwan is becoming too economically
dependent on Beijing. In Saturday's debate. One of her
rivals said she was becoming an isolationist and was taking
Taiwan down the road to uncertainty. But most
commentators believe that she won Saturday's debate, opinion
polls give her a commanding lead over her two main rival
candidates, but 25% of voters also remain undecided. Which
means the election could still be a very close one, bump it up.
Wow. And then what will happen?
What will so that that's a big deal.
Yeah, what do you think will happen?
I think she's going to win. And then they're going to have this
sweet bunker to be nice to her. Because, you know, the Chinese
have been irked about this Taiwan thing. But and then one
thing they don't want is Taiwan to declare complete.
independency. And
would you would you mind giving us a little detail on Taiwan?
These are the things that never come up again. When discussing
it, I'd love to know what during
the communist revolution to shorten it up during the
communist revolution. The there were two forces fighting Shang
chi checks, checks, nationalists and the communists led by Mao
say don't the Communists were winning and they drove ship
Chiang Kai Shek and his army off the mainland and they all went
to the, to this place It was called the Garden Island. And
they Taiwan and they went there and set up shop as an
independent as China actually. And the Republic of China and
became kind of an outcast that was never recognised as a
standalone country by the by, you know, technically by the
United Nations. I don't believe there may be there in the United
Nations. But last time I looked, they weren't and but it's a big
deal that they they're still kind of connected a little bit
to China. It was always but the Chinese were fearful that the
Chiang Kai Shek was going to re organise And then re attack the
mainland and take it over and to the point where if you go visit
China, if you get to go along the coastline, especially in the
jamman area, and some of these other places, though, you
somebody knows what they're doing, they'll show you these,
these, these, these little gun turrets and all this old stuff
from the 40s. That set up along the Chinese coast to prevent a
Taiwan, not the Taiwanese, but the Republic of China going back
and taking over the country. It's kind of amusing. Now, when
I
when I was growing up, everything I owned came from
either Taiwan or Pakistan. And I made in Taiwan was like the big
joke at a certain point in my in my youth, do they make anything
anymore in Taiwan?
Well, they own many of the companies that make a lot of
stuff that we buy, but it's now all made in China. This is what
this woman is trying to do. The Taiwanese have largely made
amends with the manufacturing people in China in the mainland,
and most of the stuff like Acer, for example, is a Taiwanese
company. But all this stuff's made in China. And they bring it
through they ship it through Taiwan, and it's just kind of a,
it's a screwball situation. And they, the Chinese wanted
resolved in such a way with that same way, it was resolved in
Hong Kong, where you have two systems, one guy and there's
some name for it. And they have a big giant
scam is what it's called. They have a huge billboard,
off the coast of China, which I've seen, it's a huge giant
letters that I don't know, it's about 10 or 15 stories high and
says the two names or you know, two systems, one nation I think
or something like they're three systems, one nation, depending
on where they count, right going into this. And it's it's right
on the coast. So if you're in Taiwan, you they light it up at
night, you can see it with binoculars. And it's a tourist
attraction for the Chinese, they all stand by and take pictures,
Instagram pictures of the sign behind them, and they're
standing in front of it. This you've learned this a long time.
And we had this during the 60s. This problem with Kim Moya and
Matt Sue, I think were the two islands. There was one was China
and one was Taiwan. And there was the Kennedy administration
that always have to deal with he's going to start World War
Three over these two stupid islands. It's been going on
forever. This woman is going to bring it to a head now
do we protect Taiwan? Is that one of our jobs supposed to huh?
We're supposed to protect Taiwan by Hmm. Everyone wonders if we
actually would,
let's see arms sales, Taiwan. Let's see what the most recent
was the sell stuff doing as we see. But but
but November 25, US preparing new arms sales to Taiwan, I
guess they were all set up $1.83 billion going to Taiwan.
Yeah, so they're still worried.
The Chinese military
and we do our best to keep them worried.
I said the Obama administration since coming to power, as
Bloomberg states, it has sold approximately how many billions
worth of equipment to military equipment to Taiwan. Do you
think in the past eight years 1012 $12 billion worth of stuff?
What do we have? Amphibious assault vehicles, Apache
helicopter who needs that? Stinger missiles, please. Okay,
so they're trying to sell F 16 fighter planes? Well, that's
good. So we should see the media start to ratchet up the scare
tactics so that we can do another Oh, yes. Let's sell some
more we can free
heard any reports about this woman yet in the US press? No.
And if she gets in and then some some there'll be some going on?
I will it'll be reported as a threat to world security. Yes,
it'd be a good news story on ABC. You watch, it'll be coming.
Oh, you don't know what to do. The Chinese are very upset. And
then they then they have the opposite message which the first
female galleys female leaders around the world right. And
every time one crops up out of the blue, first time in China is
too bad. We haven't. It's It's astonishing that the Chinese
cultures have their first female elected representative president
or whatever. She isn't new. We still haven't had that in the
United States. We must have a female Yes. You had to promote
Hillary. So that's ABC again. Yeah. That's my prediction. No.
I mean, of course, they never mentioned the Emperor's the evil
Emperor's who ran China there's been a plenty of ask
because no one is taught history anymore, as far as I'm
concerned, like the Ottoman Empire. Like no one knows what
no one keeps an eye on what's going on over there. Except
you're no agenda show.
Well, not as you mentioned it. Yeah. Do we have the aerator one
day comparing himself to Hitler? Yes, this is a
very good clip. Turkey's leader has defended his push for
greater executive powers by using Nazi Germany as an example
of effective presidential systems
drawn. When we look at other countries, we see that it is
possible. You can see this when you look at Hitler's Germany and
other countries that are much healthier
government officials and defended President Erdogan words
insisting he was actually attempting to highlight Nazi
Germany as an example of what can go wrong. The Turkish leader
believes the ceremonial role of the President should be changed
to be more like a chief executive. That's it, a system
that other countries currently have. Turkey's president is no
stranger to controversial statements. Of course last year,
he said that foreigners like seeing Turkish children die. He
insisted equality between men and women goes against nature.
That social media is the worst menace to society and advance
publicly. He doesn't care what the international community
thinks about his actions.
And so this is this is obviously a hit job. That is the origin I
found that in The Guardian is where this was the I trace it
back to their of this company, and I'm pretty sure that he
didn't say, oh, Hitler was good. So it's a hit job to hit Yeah,
of
course, who's orchestrating it? Not the Guardian, The Guardian a
little bit because they're socialists, but as the Russians,
yes, they're going after him. Watching Russia today. It's like
half the news is about Turkey. Here's, I gotta click
to Turkey now and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Turkey
must accept that it needs Israel. The two countries are
seeking to normalise ties.
This is an interesting move that's going on here. Pay
attention to key was a
key regional ally of Israel until the deadly storming by
Israeli commandos in 2010 of a Turkish aid ship bound for Gaza.
Anchor correspondent Jasper Mottola, describes the moves
towards refashion
told a journalist on his plane coming back from Saudi Arabia
yesterday that Israel had agreed to allow Gaza to import goods.
He didn't say once goods, oil and construction equipment.
Yeah, to build the oil rigs via Turkey. The turkey was waiting
for Israel to put this in writing.
These guys are unbelievable. The Turks of this order, let's just
say Erawan. Unbelievable.
Yeah, but we're in on it with him. Well, of course we are. And
I think the ISIS thing which has been exposed by the Russians
again,
just like 10 guys left or something. It's like there's no.
This is the turkey ISIS Kurds clip. And this is this is like a
rundown of what is going on with who's bombing who, despite the
fact that NATO is heavily involved in the fight against
ISIS, a report from the Norwegian Foreign Ministry
reveals a secret the turkey, a NATO country is buying oil from
the terrorists, secret held documents revealed that most of
the oil that ISIS has smuggled out of Syria and Iraq has ended
up in Turkey,
basically, Turkey has has a higher priority in the conflict
in Syria at the moment. And that's to prevent Kurdish
autonomy in the region, because it fears that that could lead to
separatist movements within Turkey. So I saw becomes come
second in Syria at the moment. I think that as long as it seems
to Turkey that the result of defeating ISIS will be
strengthening the Kurdish forces in Syria, then that's going to
be a bigger problem to them than ISIS.
Yeah, because and then if you play this, this is the Russians
again, Turks training ISIS part one, we're sorry. That's
it. Adding to the claims of Turkey's links to Islamic State
or the jihadists themselves this week, a captured terrorist
alleged that ISIL uses camps in Turkey to train recruits. Auntie
obtained interview footage with the captain from the Sputnik
Turkey news agency, Abdu rochman Abdulhadi is a 20 year old
militant who says he's been in the ranks of ISIL since 2013. He
claims he's been mostly fighting against the Syrian army, but was
captured in November by Kurdish forces and is currently being
held in prison. Abdul Hadi says he was trained by ISIL in Turkey
and spoke in detail about the experience.
In August 2014, I was training in the Turkish town of Aden with
one of ISOs M 's there were 60 of us in a village not far from
the airport immediately reported that we were training in the
Free Syrian Army's camps, but in fact, all 60 of those who were
there were ISIL members. In the morning we woke up and did
training drills. Once a week we had shooting classes where we
were taught to use Kalashnikovs machine guns and other weapons.
We have two instructors. One of them was from the military. He
spoke only Turkish so Another one had to translate for him. We
were trained in Turkey because ISIS commanders thought it was
safer there than in Syria because of the bombardments
there.
As for anchors position, it states that it trains only
Syrian rebels that are fighting against Islamic State and
strongly denies allegations that it aids any terrorist group. But
the CAPTCHA jihadist claims the recruits moved freely inside
Turkey and across the border.
Now we've talked about how the US has warmed up to Turkey and
has been buddy Buddy with this character for some time if
though if the basic thesis that we that we own, which is the
ISIS ISOs is run by the CIA in the State Department to
different groups, as you pointed out, this would make nothing but
sense that they'd be doing the training in Turkey. And this is
one of the reasons that we're so chummy with the, with the Turks
under the circumstances, which is pretty anti American. And guy
wants
to be Hitler is pro caliphate, I'd say.
Yes. Well, of course, because the Turks think they can become
the centre of the caliphate. Well, they were during when
Constantinople was in business. So what
this comes down to is the NATO issue. And let me see, I think I
have a clip here. Yes. So NATO is a problem for Russia? Because
they of course, you know, and so, Turkey, a member of NATO,
shoots down a jet. You know, what's Russia going to do? If
they if they seriously went and attacked a NATO country? You
know, Article Five comes into play, and it's pretty much all
over. But there is some real reason for the Russians to be
afraid, of course, this deals mainly with Ukraine. But it all
comes into the same thing of how they cannot deal with Turkey.
And the reporting is not that this come out about the Ukraine
and Putin declaring NATO a threat has to do with something
else that happened on January 1,
and a stunning new security strategy in Russia, which is now
joining NATO a threat President Vladimir Putin endorsing the
plan last night. It says NATO's military buildup threatens his
country's national security
Frederika. Thanks. That's right, there's a couple of points to
come out of this document, which is a sort of official document
that Russia has to update every six years, it was last updated
in 2009. So time was ripe for this new description,
essentially, of the threats to the Russian state as the Kremlin
ceases. It says that it sees the expansion of NATO, the Western
military alliance as a major threat to Russia's national
interests. And it also says that's because of Russia's what
it calls independent, domestic and foreign policy, which has
triggered a counter action from United States and its allies.
And so I think the reference there is to the fact that Russia
has engaged in military activities in Ukraine, it's
engaged in Syria as well carrying out airstrikes against
ISIS and other rebel groups in support of Bashar Al Assad, and
isn't his allies. And that's angered somewhat the United
States specifically, but also NATO countries in general. And
so this is a formal document, essentially, which says, Look,
NATO is a threat to Russia's national interests. But it
doesn't necessarily represent a big shift in the thinking of
Russia, Russia, and Putin in particular, has been describing
NATO as a strategic threat to Russia for some years now. And
indeed, that threat has come to a head over the conflicts in
Ukraine, where Russia has essentially deployed military
forces, although it denies this, to prevent Ukraine from joining
NATO and other Western institutions. So wants to
prevent the spread and the expansion, the further expansion
of NATO. And it's made that now a priority in terms of its
national security.
So the way I understand it, we, the West, we made a promise to
Russia. We said Not an inch east. Now, the Russians say that
the West promised we would never expand NATO or expand any of our
unions. As of January 1, the Ukraine, European Union
Association Agreement is in effect. So they are now
effectively trading. They have a free flow of any kind of
material going back and forth. This is absent from all
reporting, of course. But it goes against some promise we
made.
Yeah, we discussed we had a tape of this promise, as promised the
way that promise goes with
the night it was a reunification of Germany, right? Yeah.
Yeah. Okay. It was the deal with and it was one of our heads of
heads of something a State Department is supposed to be
sanctioned by the President. But the way the Neo cons look at
this, they say, Well, yeah, we did say that but it's not in
writing. We're Indian givers. says not it, but it's not in
writing. We did that we pulled the it's not in writing, which
is something we do that no other country does. Horrible. Because,
you know, we it's not in writing. It does not in writing
you when you see the paper, so it's this it was not in writing.
We do it everyone. The new guy comes along this is because our
policy has always changed from President to President. Yeah.
And we have this the Neo cons which have pretty much taken
over the place, including the Obama administration and they
are war mongers and they want to blow everything up and so they
can read. So they may Because we can rebuild everything it'd be
great boom economy, rebuilding all the rubble icing that we've
done. And it is so far my marketing. Yeah. And
I've missed you guys on like a hiatus from the Dvorak Horowitz
unplugged show, but two weeks. Yeah. I miss it. I miss my
financial news on Tuesday, because it's getting bad here.
You can even see it in Austin stores, empty storefronts, lovey
lovey restaurant just closed, which has only been open for
10 years. Yeah, yeah. And yeah, they close. Now they lost her
chef though. Well, the chef she left about a year Why'd she
leave desert diamond read that little story about it? Nobody
says why?
Well, I'm not entirely sure. But I do know the entire business
General Manager, Executive Chef, everything was all women. And
that was supposed to be one of the the big appeals. And then
the executive chef. She took a leave of absence and never came
back. And we went there. Maybe six weeks ago. Yeah. And you
know, it's still operating full steam. But I was good with her.
No. And I actually said whatever is what happened to him. They
were very unclear.
But there's something else he took the summer a winter.
Probably. But there's something else that I'm noticing that kind
of shows. How and I know I don't like it. But I guess it's part
of what's happening with the economy. Retailers like the the
for my eyeglasses, I have to go get my glasses fix. And so I've
made an appointment for January 4. I went in there I talked to
the lady she saw me put it in my phone, everything. It doesn't
matter where there's that or if you make a reservation at a
restaurant, when I do it through open table. This is what happens
every single time. You get them calling up. And of course no
answer the phones like a 512 number. I don't know who that
is. I'm not gonna answer it goes to voicemail. Oh, hi. Yeah, we
have reservations for tonight. 715 we just want to make sure
that you're going to come and you do have to call us back so
we can keep your table. When did this happen?
This started about 10 or more years ago in San Francisco, New
York and some other places that have extremely high end
restaurants with a limited number of tables. And they went
okay, these
are just regular tables man this is fun. These restaurants are
not like crazy you know they got
well this I'm telling her I'd started alright it was these
places and they had and it was so expensive to eat there that
they couldn't take a chance on people stiffing them and so
there's that happened this recall they call you back thing
was the first part of it the second part of it which you
haven't experienced yet, which is coming everywhere is they
make it put a deposit Yeah. Down to
now that happened for our New Year's dinner and I was okay
with that I get my get that
but there are places in San Francisco that make you give
them a deposit for any day of the week. Data it's a not not a
low end deposit either a few $100 So if you don't show up too
bad and this is all margin issues it seems to me they're
not
well it's a currency correctly but it's economic issues then
yeah margins Yeah. But for the ophthalmologist you know, like
you have to call me back to make sound mon please and I was I
made the appointment in person.
Well, could be something else going on in certain communities,
yours might be one of them live we'll just define these
businesses left and right. Make a bunch of appointment is like
car rentals. You can make a car rental appointment, you want to
get a car out of Seattle and you call up you just tell them and
they put you on a list you go in there you get your stuff you
want to give them a credit card right there's not a car rental
place that ask for a credit card and so you can stiffed the car
rental places once you get to the airport say well they got a
better deal or IT budget I'll go over there this is I think it's
a short term thing but it's
well I see nothing but opportunity in Austin. For what
for a new restaurant.
They got a bunch of restaurants I was reading that
they're closing now a bunch of we I have a I have a formula for
Austin that will be killer.
Okay, I'm all ears guns and bugs. Gunston open carry all
yours being a joker open carry all
you want in our restaurant and have some fun but and we serve
bugs it's gonna happen you identified this very early on
we'll be eating bugs
All right. Okay onward. What else we got on the list here
cool stuff that's going on bow every module keeping let's get
to catch up let's go this is not being covered by US News at all
this played the course it could clip

Yeah, no, no, no, of course it is worth Corsica. Spain's up in

meant.

No, of course, it is not the French get Mo is its own did
what used to be a kind of his own country, they have their own

that you know, this kind of wrecking ball nation, you got
your own language, you got your own culture, and you got some
French guys telling you what to do. Yeah, it's like this Nana.
And this is what the Turks are afraid of with the Kurds to take
it a little too seriously. And this is happening everywhere. I
think, everywhere. She hadn't been to Philippines with the
Muslim community there it wants to become its own country. So
this is like a major trend happening all over the place.
And
is this just the people who are doing this? The people just want
to be want to separate out
as troublemakers behind it, obviously. Yeah, yeah. But
there's a lot of these troublemakers, and they're all
over the place. I mean, here we have. We remember on our show we
discussed because our economic hitman warned us about Mali.
Yes. And now there's this battle going on between Mali and
Senegal and they blocked the the road that goes back and forth.
They do a lot of trading with each other. But this this
particular clip is interesting. This is the Senegal Mali BARDA
clip but it's interesting because in it they asked a woman
on the street who's a Senegalese about about the colour, you
know, there's she's a Muslim, and she says something, which I
should probably ISO because this is you have to understand what
she says about the government don't understand why a lot of
the procedures a lot of the initiatives of the United States
to democratise everything are just going to go nowhere.
The suggested measures haven't made it to Parliament yet, but
they're already a source of heated debate. Islam plays a key
role in this country so does economic ties with neighbouring
West African countries. President Mikey Sal says these
measures are necessary because the threats of attacks on
Senegal are real. Single police recently made several arrests,
including the mom of this mosque and religious school. He's
accused of having links with Nigeria's Boko Haram, a claim of
mosque worshippers strongly denied. They accused the
government of attempting to destroy Islam. View the state
idolises values like secularism and Republican laws, they are
making a big mistake. As Muslims we do not accept this law of the
state. We only accept the rule of God.
Sending Allah has so far prevented any attacks. The
government says it will take whatever steps necessary to
protect its citizens. Even if it causes inconvenience for some,
Nicholas honk Al Jazeera Khedira at the Senegal Mali border.
Okay, basically they have the border blocked. And there's all
this trade that goes on between these two it's hours and hours
and hours to get through.
Did you check for the obvious pipelines?
I didn't check for pipelines. Sure. Pipelines are involved
that was more interested in the political thing when this woman
went on about you know, we don't this secular crap is bull. We we
want our law from God and they you know, they let these Imams
determine what God has to say about it. And I think this is a
major problem.
Yeah, it seems to be a worldwide thing. That's interesting. Yeah.

give you the CSV and then you can deal with that.
Just give me the CSV I'll I'll deal with it one way or the
other. Outstanding. Thanks. Thank you all very much. Enjoy
your solo trip on the Mile High Club. Thank you all, everybody
for being a producer of the best podcast in the universe. This is
why we continue to roll no commercials no advertisers, only
people who we make the programme for that's why you were called
producers because you are producing it with us. And please
remember us for the next show on Thursday. What happened there?
What indeed and here we go. Start always fire slash and pay
and we have a short list Madison risco as we know says Happy
Birthday to her boyfriend Fenton. He's celebrating today.
So happy birthday to you. And we have Amanda rosette who
celebrated yesterday and that wraps up our list but the first
birthdays of the new year the best podcast in the universe.
title changes today Dame Kathy and Sir Greg Simonich become
Baronets and Dwayne Melanchthon sir Dwayne mellophone becomes
Archduke. This is fantastic. He's on his way to heaven, as

careful, careful to step around that. Brian Vaughn. We need
William Granger and John you got your blade? Yeah. Ed Zollo. If
we can get those four people up here please. We are about to
welcome you to the roundtable. The Knights in the names here
the best podcast in the universe. And we are very proud
to pronounce the case. The following days and nights we say
hello danger net of the lone stars. As we say hello sir drum
cats, we say hello to Sir William the red knights and Sir
Ed of Russell. All of you now Knights and Dames are the nodes
in the roundtable who because of low rent boys and Chardonnay
cannabis and Cabernet fly Grande and Fembot, sprockets and green
DMT and astral travel and mutton in need ready for you go over to
no agenda nation.com/rings Oh, yeah. And you're okay.
If you had to dust on the sword.
Yeah, we haven't used it in a while. If you have any questions
about your tally, you can always shoot that off to shield it, no
agenda. nation.com just putting your information in for the
rings doesn't actually do that. But nothing people can kind of
figure it out. Before we go into the Nigel Farraj I realised
something else who were listening to this rhetoric about
Donald Trump being used for recruitment for ISIS. Now, let
me just understand, well, Donald Trump said, I would like to
borrow Muslims from entering the United States until we can
figure all this stuff out. That's what he said. And that is
now apparently, then again, I've said this before, is pushing
Muslims over the edge because they're so stupid. They're so
stupid that Oh, that guy, I gotta go kill somebody. Now. Why
is it that we don't have 11 million Mexicans, killing people
and joining the cartels, because he wants to deport them, which I
think is worse than not having people come in. Why aren't they
up in arms? Should we not be worried about this?
I don't have a clue. Yeah. It's because I'm not making this
stuff up. Like Hillary does.
Yeah. It's you know, sometimes we get so embroiled in in
whatever the messaging of the day is the you forget the pure
logic that it makes no sense whatsoever. I mean, Trump has
been very adamant about kicking Mexicans out very, very clearly
building a wall everything yet we don't have any organised
crime. He's even said we're gonna get the drugs out. We
don't have any Mexican cartels or gang saying, Oh, we're gonna
go and kill you people. You horrible, man. Is that because
Mexicans are different than your peace loving?
Ah, so maybe those blood thirsty Muslim?
There you go. That's what I wanted to point out.
Yeah, it makes zero sense at all.
But you can use that if you haven't Obama bought dinner you
don't
understand. You can Yeah, just go into that whole thing. Just
like that. You'll never be invited back. But otherwise,
it's a good thing to test. Now, the only real big The other big
news was the was the beheadings and the mass beheading. Oh,
Saudi Arabia at the end of the year in Saudi Arabia, and then
they killed some very famous Shia cleric. Yeah. And now all
hell's route was a mistake. Yeah. Now, the best report of
this I found was, of course, on Russia today because they hate
us. And so they'd like to emphasise things that we won't
emphasise because the Saudis are our buddies. And so let's, let's
get a rundown so everybody can keep catch up to what's just
happened
again with the Saudi Embassy in Tehran, which has been pelted
with Molotov cocktails in response to Saudi Arabia's
execution of a prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al Nimr, was
executed along with 46 other people on charges of foreign and
domestic terror. Iran, which is mainly Shira has warned Riyadh
of dire consequences over the killing. angry mobs also
attacked the Saudi consulate in the Iranian city of Mashhad.
Nimr al Nima was an outspoken critic of the Saudi government.
He called for respect for sheer minorities, and demanded a sheer
autonomy if rights were not respected. He was arrested
several times before being sentenced to death. He organised
anti government rallies in 2011 and 2013, but encouraged the
demonstrators to remain peaceful. outrage over the
execution in Saudi Arabia itself has led to public protests
including in the city where the cleric was born, and anger has
spread further around the globe as well. Iran as the leading
Shia Muslim power in the region has a long history of disputes
with Saudi Arabia, which is led by a hardline Sunni monarchy.
Both governments have accused each other of supporting
terrorism. And some of those allegations relate to the Syrian
conflict where the country's back opposing sides. Saudi
Arabia is a close US ally, whereas Iran has strongly
opposed Washington's influence since the 1979 revolution. Both
sides of course are also major oil producers, but they've got
conflicting strategies within OPEC. prominent Shia Muslims in
Iraq and Lebanon have also lashed out at Saudi Arabia and
called the execution of service to Islamic State and warned that
it has opened the gates of hell and will set the region on fire.
Experts we spoke to say the killing of Al Nima is a grave
warning of the growing rift between shears and Sunni Muslim
dams across the region.
Now what is going to happen with this?
Well, one of the things that I've noticed and I kind of been
suspicious about this, since the Iraq activity that began in
2003 2004. I think that we've been inciting. Because if you
notice that came in out of the conversation we've been in
citing a civil war between these two groups, which really don't
like each other, they just need
more prodding. This is this is the divide and conquer strategy
between
the Sunnis and Shias. Yeah, and we have and if you remember a
lot of the reporting in the late 2000s before but
two dozen maybe two dozen I was I was smoking too much weed and
I know
there was all this Oh, it's a civil war. It's a civil war and
it was always in Iraq. Oh, it's a civil wars a civil war, like
Syria. Civil War is a civil war and then it didn't you talk talk
to the man on the street and this is not a civil war, we get
along fine.
I also love the dichotomy of the term civil war. I just always
tickles me.
Dad is well, it's not a dichotomy. It's a what is it
called itself? It's not an oxymoron. It's a maybe it is,
whatever. It's a self contradictory statement. Civil,
civil, civil war. civilised, yeah. Now, we've been promoting
the civil I think it's been us that's promoting the Civil War
idea. And we keep doing it. We keep prodding me the whole thing
in Syria as
part of it wasn't just part of the rubber line strategy.
I think. So it's part of the rebel life strategy as it is.
Yeah, it never really took off. Early on it took it to we just
kept doing it though. And I think now, with this killing of
it, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't encourage it, killing
this. This cleric who's, who looks like he needed to go
anywhere. I mean, this guy should have been drummed out of
the country. All he's doing is advocating overthrowing the
government setting up shop as another country and it's almost
like a one man curd, you know, operation. So they killed him.
And now all hell's breaking loose.
Well, we of course, supply all of the weaponry to Saudi Arabia.
Yes, but the Russian supply the Iranians.
So we have another proxy war. Yeah, maybe fabulous. Yeah.
Well, this is going to be the year John. We can't it's
impossible for any civilization to live under this stress,
horrible stress of being killed
and decisis thing coming our way.
And it's the citizens need to turn off their televisions, they
need to stop the checkout for a while because this is not
healthy, what's going on or just listen to our show. We try and
bring you some version of truth,
I think is a good version. Yeah, well, of course, yeah. Me Well,
another thing is underreporting mustn't play this clip. This is
the continuing continuing strife in Bahrain.
was taken to the streets in the buff, rainy city of Citra. This
is the latest episode of a five year uprising against the
country's monarchy. The protests resulting in clashes with riot
police who fired tear gas. This comes only a day after 23
opposition protesters were convicted on terrorism charges
following another demonstration that killed a policeman.
Yeah, the way I see it all anything that has anything to do
with terrorism charges or terrorism, anything is are
doing. Yeah. Because we're the ones who the United States is
we're the ones who promote the idea of terrorism as a thing.
They created
ISIS, Hillary Clinton created ISIS with Obama created with
Obama.
It's not like it's not being said.
Right. It is being said, and it has been said, as it's being
said a lot, actually.
Oh, I got a great note for one of our producers, millennial
producer, but in regards to the Pentagon claiming they will not
be ready for their 2017 audit because the systems are all
COBOL. And they can't integrate with the new fancy systems they
have.
Why do they start we bitched about this in the last show me
mostly? Why do they need to integrate anything? You go into
the department, you run their COBOL systems, you audit them,
then you go to the next department? You run their COBOL
systems and you audit them. Why can't you do that once one
department at a time,
actually, I want to bring up the it was a written report that we
talked about in the previous show. And they had some very
Pacific notes. Let me see. Was it under military industrial
complex? I think yeah, here it is. Yeah, there was a Reuters
investigation. That's what that's what was so crazy about
it. Behind the Pentagon's Dr. Ledger's running on but okay all
the way at the bottom it says scroll down. The Pentagon can't
manage what it can't measure. And Congress can't effectively
perform No, that's not it. It's before this where they
specifically said they had to integrate. I want to get the
exact verbiage about the COBOL stuff on. Here it is. Reuters
has found that the Pentagon probably won't beat his
deadlines. The main reason is rooted in the Pentagon's
continuing reliance on a tangle of 1000s of disparate, obsolete
largely incompatible accounting and business management systems.
Many of these systems were built in the 1970s and use outmoded
computer languages such as COBOL, on old mainframes, they
use antiquated file systems that make it difficult or impossible
to search for data. Much of the data is corrupted and erroneous
that part, I believe that part is different. Yeah. And so I got
this nice note from producer Jimson. I was shocked to hear
pundits describing programmes written in COBOL is useless and
antiquated. I'm 25. And finishing up a degree in
computer science at an American university. Modern students, at
least at my school are no way discouraged to learn old
languages like COBOL. In fact, our data structure classes
primarily taught in Ida 95, specifically to encourage
developing skills on working on existing software, which isn't,
is the vast majority of the systems and government industry.
COBOL was also allowed and accepted. People at my school
who major in Management Information Systems, business
computing degree still actively study COBOL, along with SAP and
the more quote, modern tools. Just a month ago, when I was
walking around the statistics building, I read an excellent
poster based study of a student's master project that
involve parallel processing of COBOL programmes. COBOL ain't
dead.
There you go. Was the bitching about the pundits? Was that you
saying we
were no, no, no, no, no, no. What would Reuters said, Reuters
aren't pundits now? He's 25. You know what he means? Okay,
I'm just kidding. Don't get me Hey, come
on. Don't give the guy any crap.
Good. Well, he's right. This is nonsense. And it's being lapped
up by the mainstream media hook line and sinker, which is a
mixed metaphor. If you've ever heard one plug that was gonna
write that. Anyway. It's horrible. Yeah. It lyin to us.
They don't want they they're ripping us off. There is
corruption of foot. That's the only reason we have more millet.
Our budget is bigger than all the other military budgets in
the entire world put together. Ours is bigger. Why do we need
more money? Why do we need more money? Ours is bigger than
everybody's all combined. Add China to Russia, add the US to
that number and keep adding numbers. You're never gonna get
to our number. What are we spending this money on? Bull
crap? Well, there's got to be a lot of bullcrap going on and
less needs to be fleshed out. And that means somebody's got to
go audit the Pentagon. And let us remember hurry.
Let us remember.
On September cover up work now. You know what it is they figured
that it's going to take them over a year to cover up the
mess. Yeah. And so that's why oh, we can't do anything for
over a year. We're gonna miss the deadline. They're gonna
cover up the mess and then try to slide out of this. And we
need
to remember that on September 10. One day before the the the
well known 911 Donald Rumsfeld made a very interesting
statement. Let me see if I can pull this from the YouTube. It's
everywhere so you can find it. There we go. CBS News reports
before 911 secretary of defence Donald Rumsfeld declared war not
on foreign terrorists, the adversaries closer to home. It's
the Pentagon bureaucracy. He said money wasted by the
military poses a serious threat. In fact, it could be said that
it's a matter of life and death. Rumsfeld promised change. But
the next day the world changed. And in the rush to fund the war
on terrorism, the war on waste seems to have been forgotten
my oh three budget
calls for more than
$48 billion and new defenseman,
I don't think it's in here and he's drum sold says on September
10 2001. Is $2.3 trillion are unaccounted for at the Pentagon
615 years ago. Yeah. Can you imagine how big the hole is in
that place?
Unbelievable. It's crazy. And I want to remind people out there
when they talk about oh defence really want to cut to defence
but they want to Cut cut cut. They want to cut the defence.
No, they want to cut the increase. The defence budget has
not been cut it never gets Well, that's the increase that gets
and that's that
already got taken care of in the in the omnibus bill, it's done.
They increase it, that all gets slipped under the radar.
The increase, they increase it more.
Jin Brian, he did a show on the Omnibox. haven't listened to it
yet, but it's probably she'll have something in there. I'll
have a listen.
Yeah, she starts cussing a lot.
That means she's really, when she's really analysis. Hey,
final thing I noticed. And we don't have time for tech news,
but it appears now that face bag is also doing verified status
for users. So now, not only can you be a verified user on
Twitter, I, but you can be Well, here's my here's, of course, I'm
not verified, obviously,
of course, you'll never get verified. I'm thinking
when you live in a police state, you do not want to be on any
kind of list of any kind. This actually may be a very bad
thing. What are they going to do with those verified people?
I don't know. I agree with the basic thesis
I'm thinking is not a good idea to be on lists at this point in
time.
Probably right.
So if you're looking for something, I suggest the show
notes, no agenda notes.com You can find an archive of that at
archive that no agenda notes.com.
Then, of course, we have places for you to search that search.na
show notes.com. All of that in the show notes for today's
episode 787 of the best podcast in the universe. And with that,
John Claude, we we will see each other again on Thursday. And
we'll see what else we have to do, deconstruct. We'll be
rolling this there'll be plenty plenty to do plenty of you.
Thank you chatroom. Thank you, everybody listening. Happy New
Year. And coming to you from FEMA Region six in the crackpot
condo in downtown Texas, Austin, Texas. In the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where the trains are going by
just routinely I'm John C. Dvorak
soon to be featured on rail x.com And we'll be back Thursday
right here on no agenda. Adios mofos.
The US State Department's also been in a bit of a reflective
mood taking a look at the past year and to the surprise of many
not least Syrians and outlined bringing peace and security to
Syria as one of America's greatest achievements. They've
