John, this is it. They finally got it out. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak. Sunday, January 24 2016. time once again for your gizmo
nation media assassination Episode Seven Niner. Three. This
is no agenda. Fixing the glitches
on a Sunday and broadcasting live from the capital the drone
Star State Austin Tejas, and FEMA Region six in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where there's football today I'm
John C. Dvorak.
Raglan Buzzkill.
I starting about an hour late. Yeah, well, an hours in an hour
and not that it matters anyone listening to the podcast matters
to me. Matters to Me too. Is that why you mentioned football?
Because now I've screwed up your day?
No, actually, I figured that this was something bad was gonna
happen not this long. But I just I just on a whim I decided to
record the firt the earlier game. Oh, very good. Okay, so I
can just go back so
nobody tweet John with any school I don't care now as far
as
I'm concerned. There's no such thing as a that watch Warriors
games after I know the score. Oh, really? Yeah, I'm not when I
said this before. I'm not a spoiler guy. I think it's
bullcrap. Right?
Okay. So apologies
Skywalkers was killed. No.
We don't know if he's killed. We don't know if he's dead. He can
still make a comeback. We know I was I was very, very happy. I
saw that one piece of the the entire no agenda gear setup,
which I've been cobbling together for over 10 years. It's
an open source programme. And I've been supporting these guys
for business for six or seven, six years probably. And they
came out with a new release which will be compatible with os
10 Mavericks. So I've been I've been holding back I missed
Yosemite Ms. Mavericks me on my my MacBook is starting to get
crusty, you know goes that planned obsolescence. So it
really wanted the upgrade but I couldn't because it would break
everything. And then like in some magical moment, all of
these new versions of all kinds of stuff showed up even a new
version of the MIDI controller that I use from from Behringer.
And it's probably my fault somewhere I must have done
something while just looking at these new versions because I
have not upgraded I didn't you don't upgrade on the show night.
This is not what we do know, at all. And somehow, like the CES X
registry, MIDI firmware
why people don't do this, by the way. Why people don't do what a
show. They don't do good quality high end shows like this,
because you have to go through pain. Yeah. A lot of pain. Oh,
the ones just get into the mood for
97. In California, there wouldn't be regular days where
people did not go outside in the respiratory
No, I feel much better now. I'll play it at the end of show for
one.
Like it. Oh, I'll
play at the end of the show.
Okay, yeah. It's a reggae beat.
It's definitely reggae beat. Yes. Where are we I'm a little
discombobulated. You are gonna get us going and get us going.
There's a couple of things that happened. Outside we'll get to
go on. There's been ABC has been going back and forth or whether
they're going to promote Trump or they're going to go with
Cruz.
Did they have this discussion openly?
They might as well be. Okay. Meanwhile, I want to give you
something I found about I've noticed about Cruz. He's like a
gaffe Meister and he does it very subtly. And he's like the
Who's that goes the vice president of the first Bush. Dan
Quayle. Dan Coyle. Yeah, bloody Coyle.
Dan Quayle, who now runs one of the largest firms in the
universe as CEO, the dumb guy.
Yeah, yeah. So I have three gaff clips that come from cruise,
okay, and there's two short ones which which are incorporated the
third one which is a longer one, which you should listen to so
you can actually get a feeling for this guy's abilities. But
this one is going to be a quiz. I'm going to start off a little
light with the first one which is catchy. It says Cath, in this
case. Yes. Cath the gaff from cruise. This will be a quiz
wow this is real this is this is some good writing you've done
here. Okay, sorry. Here we go. Here we
have generals and admirals and national security exports and
doing whatever is necessary.
Wait a minute women I gotta get let me listen to this again.
Hold on
I sub generals and admirals and national security exports.
Whatever is necessary.
Yeah, national security exports. I like that.
I've started who's gonna start noticing this you start
listening to this guy carefully because he has this kind of
weird religious Minister ministerial kind of like
evangelical pattern right and he gets in a rhythm you don't pay
attention. Here's another example. This is number two.
Yeah,
Commander in Chief instead of living or dialling by the daily
goals and by the latest Twitter store.
Don't dial it.
Living or dialling? Oh, say that again. For people who missed it.
This is fun nice
of generals and admirals and national security exports. And
doing whatever is necessary.
That was the wrong one. Hold on. To is what I want anyway.
Mandarin
chief instead of living or dialling by the daily polls and
and by the latest Twitter storm.
Now why would he say living are dialling by the daily polls? I
guess maybe in his mind, he's thinking about robo calls,
perhaps dialling? I don't know. I could be having a bunch of
because that part's Nice. Yeah, that's what makes the polls you
know, dial here's the
here's the here's the segment that it came from the both these
gaps were in the same from the same segment. Yes. Here's the
long version of this
unqualified to be commander in chief. Well, you know, that's
going to be a determination that the American people are making,
I would suggest that the next commander in chief instead of
living or dying by the daily polls, and then by the latest
Twitter store should focus on identifying our enemies,
listening to the expert advice of generals and admirals and
national security exports, and doing whatever is necessary to
keep this country safe this
week. So of course, the interviewer says You mean
experts? Not? Not excellent,
but the interviewer Of course, which is Stephen awful of his
bubble, blah. He ends who starts to question often do you think
he's qualified Trump? Yeah. Commander in Chief. It's a
loaded question.
I have a gaffe for you then. Since we're, since we're doing
gaffes, which may lead us into the next topic, which is this
National Review, article and cover piece, or whatever it is,
which was pretty much a hit piece on Trump. Here's the guy
that was Rich Lowry. Is he the editor in chief or is he the
writer of the article? I think he's the editor in chief, listen
to his gaffe,
it's going to probably turn into a really fiercely fought to man
race for a very long time. If Donald Trump wins Iowa.
Donald Trump, Donald Trump.
And of course, they immediately corrected him on his game, it's
gonna probably turn into a really fiercely fought two man
race for a very long time. If Donald Trump wins Iowa, you
know, this may be all over and three weeks and I can look at a
swift deportation under the Trump presidency.
You've got you've got your anchor babies.
So they didn't say anything, of course, is
that Donald Trump?
That's dyslexia right there. That's severe dyslexia
well, so I got the couple of the couple of the Thursday clips and
the Friday clips from ABC who is
now Wait, is this are you doing three by threes? Or
what do you don't realise you're only watching ABC right now
because it's time for a free experiment by JC fairings.
There's two of these. There's one on Thursday and one on
Friday, slightly different slant on each one that got out the
Thursday one is the big clip. And that's the one that's got
all kinds of stuff to discuss the Friday one was a hit piece.
Now we can play in in either order.
Well, I'll tell you what, why don't I do my little shorty here
on on the trumpet piece and then we can go into that. How's that
sound?
Yeah. Okay.
This is MSNBC, John Helaman. He's from Bloomberg. And for
some reason, he's the authority. So MSNBC, Heilemann. Hi Oh, man,
I'm sorry. Hi. Oh, man. Yeah, he's,
he's a quite a character. In what way? I actually know him.
So well. Do expand. I don't know. I mean, I don't have
anything to say. I mean, he is what he is. He is a guy who has
managed these dentists. He's, I think he's, of all the writers.
I know in the same kind of peer group. He has done the most with
his, with his career with his career. Yeah. So he's,
where does that leave you?
I'm a loser who a podcast podcaster
this guy's a Bloomberg man. He's on MSNBC.
I don't think he's making big bucks. That's a lot of money. He
doesn't he doesn't a lot of books. He makes a lot of money
on his books. And he proud. Alright, good.
Here he is.
I mean, first of all I'd say about the National Review, is
that there's nothing the National Review could do more to
help Donald Trump than to put out an issue like this. I mean,
it is it's like an in kind campaign contribution for this
stablishment have to attack Trump.
It helps it helps him with his people. It's where Trump wants
to be it reinforces his message you know you gotta wonder
you gotta wonder
well they if you look at that piece and I think it was just
online but the National Review they said all these conservative
writers and would spokes holes and whatever then they had to
list them and the number one on there was Glenn Beck I don't
know if it was done in alphabetical order now think
about it could be but Glenn Beck isn't is thought He's a beast a
talk show guy that's not he's not like a an intellectual
conservative. You know, guy writing books about the topic.
He's not like that limbaugh's brother
Limbaugh I didn't know he had a brother.
Yeah, he's a writer. And he's very highly regarded as a as a
thinker. But Beck is just a you know, he's a radio guy. I do
have well, let's play the let's play the hit piece, which ran on
Friday, and then we'll go back and play the the bigger piece.
Conservatives calling Trump on board an opportunist, a menace.
ABCs Tommy, I'm Matt
Dennison menace, I tell you
is a menace Donald
Trump the menace tonight.
Tonight, Donald Trump going from campaign brawler,
Ted is starting to go down. He's getting nervous. He's a nasty
guy. He's a very strange person. Nobody likes him. He added his
bomb into the blue to mature statesman with a message of
unity.
I will bring our country together.
We will be unified. We will be one.
We will be happy again.
But Trump now causing a civil war within his own party. The
conservative National Review issuing an SOS a special edition
called against Trump, including articles from 22 conservative
leaders from the Reagan days to the Tea Party era, all trashing
Trump and calling him a charlatan unmoored and crazy a
man of tantrums and homicidal fantasies. A tapeworm invading
the weakened body of the Republican Party.
Hold on, I need to write that down. A tapeworm take for Donald
tapeworm. Invading was it invading the bowels of the
Republican Party is
something
charlatan unmoored and crazy a man of tantrums and homicidal
fantasies. A tapeworm invading the weakened body of the
Republican Party
Trump said we can bowels only funnier can weaken.
Calling it a publicity stunt. The National Review is a dying
circulations Weigh Down. Not very many people read it
anymore.
He says polls don't lie. people.com Publishing exclusive
behind the scenes photos of Trump and Sarah Palin. Looking
at the latest numbers. Former First Lady Barbara Bush taking a
shot at Trump's ego isn't a campaign for her son.
When push comes to
shove. People are going to realise Kevin has real solutions
rather than
talking about how popular they Mommy, can you help me? Great.
First Lady Barbara Bush now entering the campaign and David
tomorrow. Donald Trump heads right back to Iowa. That's where
he's locked in the tightest race with Senator Ted Cruz who will
also be there this weekend. Both men fighting for every vote
mommy tunnelled Donald Trump is pestering me, you got to do.
You can be sure that that day is gonna be one of the Trump salvos
of course, it's
so obvious,
but it gives you first Hillary went to her husband at for help.
is going to mom wife who speaks fluent Spanish, she's a Mexican
girl. She shouldn't she did violence to hurt she shouldn't
be out there pounding the pavement for Jabberjaw doing
anything. Maybe he doesn't want to do anything is what does a
pet drone.
What is it? What is his wife's name?
I don't know. You know, I
saw an interesting a pleasant I saw interesting posts on the
face bag, which I thought I'd share with you. This is from the
artist here in Austin. Laurie, the artist. Oh, now so this is
the here's the conspiracy theory of the Democrats, the Oh bots.
Let's just put it that way. Okay, listen carefully, because
this is this is what she believes is going to happen. If
Cruz gets the GOP nomination, Trump decides to run
independent. Bloomberg also runs independent and Hillary runs as
the Democratic candidate. Not one of them gets a majority of
the electoral college votes. In that case, then, the House of
Representatives elects the president from the three
presidential candidates who receive the most electoral
votes. And if they can't come to an agreement, then they choose
the Vice President from the two vice presidential candidates
with the most electoral votes. And then that Vice President
serves as acting president until the deadlock is resolved. Are
they insane? I mean, this is
a conspiracy there this the most complex one ever very
complex. I think everyone's all jacked up and excited about
Bloomberg may be running a guy who no one cares about or is a
horrible guy,
and no one
cares about him. Yeah, Bloomberg is a horrible guy. Not a nice
man. Oh. Where was Bloomberg? Still president when he when you
President upright? Yeah, president of New York when he
rounded up his New York? Yeah, when he rousted up the
occupiers, wasn't he? Yeah, of course. resident of New York.
Nice guy. That's how you want cheese.
He's a horrible guy. All right, let's play. Okay, so that was
like the APC is doing the best job of this, because they you
know, they have mixed feelings about who to support and they,
you know, they their boy, their boy, Jeb has failed so far. I
mean, it's still a long shot, he can return but we don't see any
evidence of it. So let's go to the big the big one that had
more stuff. And it was kind of a little more balanced. I noticed
this, by the way, and that doing the three by three is that
Thursday's news shows on all the networks on Democracy Now in
particular, and all NPVs are always the best all week. For
some reason Thursday and democracy now nine not all the
time, but most of the time. The Thursday shows their last new
show. On Friday. They usually do like a special as she goes on
vacation or something they they do a whole show discussing
Navajo poetry
Well, I saw something else really strange. It was a
strange, huh, I'll have to look it up. There was something
democracy now is doing that was just so off kilter. Anyway.
Sorry. Let's play the third the big Thursday roundup on the ABC.
This is
the big Thursday to
keep this country safe.
This week, crews blindsided by Trump's blockbuster, Sarah Palin
endorsement. Are you
ready to make America great again?
Soon, crews bringing out his own conservative media superstar
Glenn Beck to check Trump.
This guy I believe is is dangerous. I believe he is
dangerous.
Trump not impressed.
This dopey guy Glenn Beck. He looks like he's like a dope. And
I've watched him cry on television all the time. He's
doing very badly.
The billionaire today, tweeting wacko Glenn Beck is a sad answer
to the Sarah Palin endorsement. But Trump's now learning a Palin
endorsement can come with pitfalls. She's under fire after
linking President Obama to her son's recent arrest for
allegedly assaulting his girlfriend. I'd
say that the linking was done more by the media than by
them by now. I just stopped there because it's exactly where
it's a good place to stop now. I have not heard anything that she
said. And including in this report where they're trying to
make the point. Yeah, she never says anything that does this
linking. She just bitches about that. The fact that he has PTSD,
post traumatic stress syndrome disorder. But
disorder
disorder. Yeah.
From what I did read from someone else is that he was
never in combat. He was a chauffeur for high ranking
military official. That's
something you could I think that would be a better thing to
complain about. In terms of her Misra. Yeah,
I agree. And if that's true, then yeah, then she's then she's
horrible, although maybe you can get PTSD from just being around
the military. I'm not saying that's not possibility.
But whatever they may be, especially if you're been
isolated and raised in Alaska, but it can happen. That's not
what they're saying. They're saying that she's blamed mama.
Yeah. When you if what you say is true, which I believe
probably must
Well, which she had a whole paragraph when she talked about
we, you know, Obama should have taken care of the war. I think
it wasn't even about veterans. And then the PTSD came up later
when she was talking about veterans coming back from the
war. So indirectly,
there indirectly is a little they're pushing it too much.
They're pushing way too. This this report that we were playing
now discusses this in particular, and they they
present absolutely no evidence
of learning a Palin endorsement can come with pitfalls. She's
under fire after linking President Obama to her son's
recent arrest for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, Palin
revealing 26 year old Track Palin who served a year in Iraq
now suffers from PTSD and she's poor. In the finger at the
president, it's a shame
that our military personnel even have to wonder if they have to
question if they're respected anymore. It starts from the top.
That comes from our own president Whelan
later doubling down in an interview with ABC News back
home in Alaska.
My family is no different from other families that are dealing
with some of the ramifications of war. And just really
appreciate people who will support our troops and make sure
that they are treated better than illegal immigrants for one,
but her comments are not sitting well, with some veterans, the
head of one leading Iraq and Afghanistan vets group tells us
PTSD is a serious subject which should not be politicised or
used as a political talking point. It's certainly not
President Obama's fault that Sarah Palin son has PTSD.
Where it was, yeah, there was like, No, this
unbelievable is all made out of thin air. And she's, and she's
doubling down. And they have her saying, Well, you know, the
weather's pretty crappy today. I mean, it's like, she didn't
double down because she didn't do anything to begin with. And
then they bring veterans guy and he's got nothing to say about
anything.
This is this was the topic on serious progress. 127, the
Michelangelo's Signorelli show of them, you know, people call
and say, and she didn't actually say that just shut up. You know
what she means? Okay, fine. Fine.
Shut up. You know what she means? We were supposed to just
like, you know,
just shut up and believe it. Shut up. Shut up and believe it
now we both read this article in the week. Which was, what was
the title of it? It was how an obscure adviser to pat buchanan
predicted the wild Trump campaign back in 1996. Which I
think you also thought to be a great analysis or deconstruction
of what is happening, and why this Trump thing is catching
fire. Do you remember,
the headline was a little bit misleading because we're gonna
put this in the show notes. And people should read this as a
very, very good essay. But the headline is a little misleading
because the guy wasn't in 1996 predicting Trump No,
he but he was predicting what the American people would want
and would be ready for.
Right and one of his theses and the one that's the most
interesting to me is that the conservative the oldest
conservative talk radio guys the rush limbaugh was always the
Glenn Beck's everybody who's pushing the conservative agenda
ideal. Are nobody likes them. This is bullcrap this whole
thing. And I have to the more I think about because I listen to
these guys, is rush limbaugh is a good example is probably the
most popular of the group, and probably the most influential.
He has had zero influence on any of these elections. How did
Barack Obama ever get
elected with $2 billion
that's how I got elected had nothing to do with
conservatives. And they and then their thesis, their basic thesis
of all of them, which is one of the reasons they hate Trump is
that the only good Republican is a dead Republican, a Republican
who fought and has a chance to check in on checklist
Republicans, they follow certain eating, believe this, they
believe that the small government, small government is
the least of it. It's mostly like the pro life if there's a
lot of pro spying on the public, believe it or not double
spending, you know, saying we're not going to spend money but
then spending it pro war you big military, bigger military than
ever, even though we already spend more than everybody in the
entire world combined.
I'll cite from the piece now, this is from this 1996 letter
that this guy Francis wrote to Pat Buchanan, he says and thus
we see them dying in middle age, this about you know, white
middle age people, mainly men dying in the middle age of drug
overdose, alcoholism or obesity at rates that now outpace those
of you in poor blacks and Hispanics, their rate of suicide
is sky high to living in Washington, DC. However, with an
endless two decade real estate boom and the free lunch economy
paid for by special interest. Most of the people in the
conservative movement, hardly know that some Americans think
American needs to be made great again, which was interesting
that that was the actual quote from his 96 memo. And then they
go in and show how Trump is hitting all of these, all of
these touch points. And this is what I'm seeing. I'm seeing that
maybe the political elite who are all in on mainstream media,
they're seeing for the first time that may be the majority
just thinks differently
I guess I would have to say that this is exactly what's
happening.
And it's hard. It's hard. And it's hard for people to come to
terms with that. But wait, aren't we? The righteous? Don't
Don't we have done we going the run? Isn't this what we know is
the right thing to do. Everyone else is insane, which is the
definition of pretty much being a bigot. But that it's a losing
battle. It's very hard when you're in the minority and you
believe you're right. I know it's called marriage. Hey, yo,
well hear here.
So here is the this is this is the long rant, but this I think
people should at least listen to if you haven't heard it. This is
back into the back rant. This is the totality of the Beck rant,
and he goes off the deep end now. He's like a big supporter.
Now,
is this on his own Blaze thing? Or is this on Fox? This
is on the radio, oh, on a radio. Alright. This is his radio show.
This is what he went off the deep end and started and
his radio show is where people really listen to his TV thing is
one is one aspect, but the radio show is
where the radio shows is big because that's the big
moneymaker big money. And so he's got his radio show. And he
is I don't know what rank he is. Now, the funny thing is, let's
take a real look and listen to these talk radio guys. There's
four big shots. Five, sorry, there's Sean Hannity. There's
Glenn Beck. There's Michael Savage. There's Rush Limbaugh,
and there is what's his name? The great one. Oh, my
God, what happened to Tom Hartman and Michelangelo?
Signorelli.
Yeah, those guys aren't on the big audience. No. But this is
the these are the big five. And they're the ones if you look at
talkers magazine, you're looking at rank, they're all those
mixing it up. Now. Only back even though he claims in his
little, the screed that you're gonna listen to our spiel that
everybody believes what he's about to say, even though I see
no evidence of it. I think Limbaugh is pretty much on the
fence. Michael Savage is pro Trump because he thinks that
they're
gonna he they've always been friends with and he
comes on the show all the time. And he also comes on Michael
Mark Levin show. And Mark Levin never liked Trump at first. But
he I would listen to one of these. I was coming back from
the post office. I don't get out that much. So I listen to Mark
Levin, and he's going on about this is like, early, this is
like months and months ago. He's saying, you know, I was not I
was noticing he's got this weird voice that he was noticing that
the immediate that the right wingers everybody's beating up
on Trump in an incredibly what he's perceived as an unfair way,
name calling, you know, calling him names and belittling him and
all this other stuff it was and he started paying more attention
and he started getting on Trump's side of things. So he
became I think, I would say he's pro Trump. And Hannity who works
for Fox. I think he's kind of pro Trump and he may be on the
you may be what Beck's talking about, who show
up who ultimately do these guys who are their Uber lords?
Because they're not just standalone? The guys who own all
the power? I don't believe that for a second. I mean, we know
Limbaugh has always been linked to the bushes always very close
big friends love you mean it go to the ranch.
Well, not as much as Hannity. Oh, he's
even more a bush fan. Oh, he's
at the ranch all the time. I didn't know that. Yeah, Hannity
is extremely bushy Limbaugh. You know, I think Limbaugh is a
little more neutral and a lot of people like to believe he's
really a deconstructionist too. Yeah. And he's he's at his
absolute best and I would recommend people listen to his
show during the the throes of an election where he can actually
take things apart. Right?
How about the seed guy is he on this list anymore?
No. Okay. He's a sees a niche he's got a smart, shall we say
but Hartman's niche, the seed guys niche they're all nice.
Back is borderline near. She doesn't really have the big
numbers of these other guys do but but let's listen to back who
was I don't know why so freaked out about Trump, but he's he
also Beck I should also mention want to deconstruct this a
little more. Beck is perceived by especially Michael Savage as
a charlatan and a scammer and they had these beefs it's very
interesting is more to this than meets the eye even though these
guys are all entertainers and there's too damn many ads on
radio, but let's listen to bed go off this. I mean, this idea
that that you know,
Ted Cruz is the one in the wrong here is something that would
only be perpetrated by someone who wants Ted Cruz to be in the
wrong without any of the facts they have. I understand why
Trump is doing that you're in. Trump wins, we are in as much
trouble as a nation but who
is the speaker? That's who was the other guy?
Okay, the other guy, the after a member on Beck show, there are
three guys.
Yeah, there's back his sidekick. And the guest was
Nick and his two sides. Okay, one of the side kick sounds
exactly like back. The other one sounds like a high pitch verge
that is
an old top 40 DJ trick, that having your co host sound very
much like you. So you can go do coke in the bathroom. And you
can just put the next record
and as we were, if not more than when Barack Obama. And I know
there are people that are gonna just hate my guts for saying
that. I'm sorry, this is my job. You pay me for my analysis with
your time. You come here for my analysis and my honest look at
things. I'm not getting rich by saying that, in fact, yes, you
are. Very rich man. It hurts me to say that I am the only one
practically practically. At least have the radio in radio
where we are the radio this is it. This is it that comes out
and tells you truly what all of us know, off air. And I'm coming
out and telling you the truth because I have a responsibility
to you.
Oh god, does he have any point say anything except how great he
is?
Yeah, eventually, to tell you exactly what I believe. All
right. And I'm telling you right now performative. This is a
gigantic mistake. If this country chooses Donald Trump,
you are going to end up I truly believe with a monster much,
much worse than anything that Barack Obama could have drempt
Okay. He is the same narcissistic character. He is
the same hope and change Make America Great nonsense. He is
the same, I'll run it better. He is an administrator. That's not
what America needs. Oh, he is a guy who gets vengeance and gets
angry and teaches people a lesson. That's what we've hated
about Barack Obama. You don't think that this guy with the
tools of the IRS at his disposal will use it against his
political enemy list. Let me ask you this. Do you think that Ted
Cruz or Marco Rubio or Jeb has a political enemies list? Yeah.
Yeah. Do you think that Donald Trump has an enemies list tweets
it every day? Damn right. He does me think
if Beck is a little afraid of the enemies list.
what the deal is was strange. You'd hear that other guy if the
guy sounds exactly. chime in at the end there. And it sounds
like Beck's talking to himself. realise there's an old trick but
but yeah, he's got to. He's got two sidekicks and one sounds
identical to him and the other one's got it is a high pitch.
It's
an old it's a top and your back was a top 40 DJ before he got
into this. Yeah, it was it's an old top 40 Morning ditch Scott
Shannon invented this whole idea.
want that kind of guy as your President, you will get
everything you deserve. You will get everything you deserve. Now
a word from our sponsor, and unfortunately, so will the rest
of us. Oh, just before we send my blade visit on Twitter at
world of stew. Hey, Stu. Glen.
Just wanted you to know that Christie was a former federal
prosecutor.
Thank you. I didn't know that's just coming in now. Well, thank
you very well appreciate it. sponsor this F our is gold like
I told you. Mine has something brand new is the Royal Canadian
Mint first ever produced 1/10 of an ounce 99 Gold pure gold
bullion legal tender,
awesome seeds while you're at it to come on, man. How sad is
that? Well, I know you did.
Get a little gold line. And I know
it's so sad. But you can't take anybody seriously if they give
you a big rant and then and we'll be right back after this
message from Goldmine, Goldmine and it's not even a message.
It's a billboard. He's doing it an honour read full, full.
Meanwhile, here's what's going on in Trump World.
The people my people are so smart. And you know what else
they say about my people, the polls, they say I have the most
loyal people. Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the
middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any
voters. So okay.
So that is so that's the quote. That is the quote and I realised
that when you read this quote, by itself, it's creepy. But if
you hear it in context of what he's saying, including the
preamble, which is you know, the people is so no one no
mainstream headline has said I'm doing so well, man like it's
it's a figure of speech. You know, it's like you say, You do
all kinds of things I could stand naked at Times Square.
Well, you know, that would not be very Trump best thing to say.
But listen to it in context of the 30 seconds where he said,
This is a little different
people might people are so smart. And you know what else
they say about my people, the polls, they say, I have the most
loyal people. Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the
middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any
voters? Ok. It's like incredible. Now they say, Trump
will have YouTube. Trump's voters are by far you know, the
I'm at 68 69%. I'm at 90%. Total, like, will you most
likely stay that gets into the 90s other guys that like a 10? A
guy like Jeb Bush, he has a nobody but he's like a nut. I
mean, like they don't have people. They have nothing. Rubio
soft. They're all all soft or soft. My people stay. By the
way, cruise soft.
There you go. being contacted, like whatever.
He does this. Now I went, I went out of my way to listen to an
entire Trump speech. Yeah, I
do that all the time. Well, I
don't listen there. I'm talking about the hour long ones. Yeah,
it's very
repetitive. He says the same thing that we that we I rarely.
In my conclusion. He has this. He has, I think at this point
shields who stand up right, the beginning and protest, and he
kicks them out. That seems to be part of his format now.
Well, he does it the way I here's the way I see my kind of
conclusion about it. One, he's got about 30 minutes of material
that he stretches. Yes. Yeah, I agree. I think it's a problem. I
think you should cut it down to the 30. Because he starts to
hold speech over you almost like he starts the speech again. And
is with the same notes and everything. Yeah,
it is. But But John, we know that this tactic works. Just
keep repeating it over and over and over and over again.
It definitely has the talking points. About 30 of them. It
works and he always starts off is things like get rid of the
teleprompters. Yeah, we don't need these teleprompters. I
don't need teleprompters. Why does anyone need tell you he
makes his point of the teleprompters. And it gets rid
of because he can talk. Yeah, he doesn't need teleprompter. He
does have notes though. He keeps a little pile of notes. So
talking point notes. And he gets rear ended. And they actually
the one I saw when he did at Liberty University, whatever it
is, he had they had the prompters up there for the guy
to introduce them. And then the D had them removed. And he does
have about 30 minutes of material and he repeats himself
a lot. Yes. And and he's getting repeats himself from speech to
speech with different little sub anecdotes, these little things
that come and go, like the thing he did about back set being a
loser and a crybaby or whatever, that you won't hear.
It was interesting that Elizabeth Warren walked onto the
floor, the House, the Senate floor, and I didn't clip it
because it was 10 minutes of what we heard her say anyway,
but what was interesting is that she said, Oh, no, please, I want
to can we just skip the quorum, which I think means she just
wanted to say something to posture for the camera didn't
matter who was there? I believe that could be and, you know, it
was like, Oh, we're getting ripped off. But funny enough. A
lot of what she said sounded a bit like the Trump agenda. But
the only reason I bring it up is she's to me. It's like she made
a move. She made a move. There was a typical Warren speech. You
go Yeah, hell yes. Can we take the assholes? Hey, they're
ruining us get rid of those guys. But it was planned and
planted by her. That's still got my eye on her. Why else would
she be you still got
your eye on her? Yeah, because of you. I don't have my eye on
her. I made the prediction and I'm sticking with it.
That's what I'm saying. I have my eye on her because of your
eye on her. Yes, I respect I'm actually
every once in a while somebody says I still say Elizabeth
Warren.
Here in the news.
It stops him it stops people in their tracks. And then I say
what why? heartache. That can't happen. I said, wait until the
convention. Yeah, it can happen at the convention. The
convention anything goes we may actually have a real convention
most of them are just rubber stamps. So after the convention,
if somebody comes popping out of their name Hillary Clinton or
whoever Yeah, then I then I dropped it prediction. But now
I'm still I'm still on point, as far as I'm concerned is
Everything's going according to plan.
All right, let's Are you done with Trump because I'm kind of
nothing. So I'm done with all right. Move over to Hillary for
a moment, just to get it all out of the way as we speak. So this
these emails, these new emails are discovered. There's very
little three by three coverage, as far as I can see on this very
sparkly little very sparse, but now I still think that this
happened right at a moment when the President was about to do
State of the Union State of the Union. That's when we had all
sudden these Iranian, we had our, our, our sailors in their
boats, engines conk out, they have no GPS, they've got their
passports with them. They float into Iranian waters, they pick
them up, they're releasing the new cycle covered over what
happened here. And this is broth with Hillary I think. Yes, yes,
this is I think this is a one on one. And again, she's very
demure, very quiet. I think it was little gotcha in here that
we have to listen to me ask
you about the intelligence community's inspector general
estates that the emails on your private server contains what he
describes as classified intelligence. One of your
campaign spokesman says the Inspector General is not quote,
acting in good faith.
Now this is here's what's going on the Inspector General, who's
apparently there's more but this Inspector General, and McCall, I
think, has been overseeing what is going on with the State
Department emails with Hillary Clinton's emails with the FBI.
And apparently, he's been leaking, quote, unquote,
information to Republicans on the on several Senate
Committees, then the Clinton camp has accused this Inspector
General, which is not a good thing. You don't want to be
accusing the inspector general of anything, because I think the
Inspector General has some power.
Do you think they they are not acting in good faith, the IG of
the intelligence community? Well,
all I can say is this wealth,
I think which is a performative meaning, whatever you're going
to say doesn't have to be the truth.
Yeah. All I can say is this. She could probably say this. Yeah.
Yeah. That doesn't mean you're saying anything? Not at all?
Well, all I can say is this wealth. I think it's a
continuation of an inner agency dispute that has been going on
nice inner agency disputes. We do love those, don't we? Oh,
yeah. And and in this case, it may indeed be between
intelligence could be CIA, and certainly FBI, as we'll hear in
a moment that's
been going on. And that's not uncommon in our government. When
it comes to releasing information as I requested that
mine be released. It doesn't change the fact that I never
sent or received any material marked classified. I do believe
that these leaks, which are coming out and being in some
way, misrepresenting and mischaracterizing what is going
on, are troubling. But the basic fact that no material marked as
classified, was sent or received by me, has not been changed.
Are they falsifying information?
I hope not. I, you know, I really hope not, I
didn't say no, I hope not, I hope not doing anything illegal.
I
don't have any information to that effect. I want this to be
resolved. And as the State Department has said, repeatedly,
I will repeat I did not send or receive classified material.
And now that is an important thing. Because when she repeats
something like that, she's saying, I did not send or
receive classified material. If you indeed look up the
definition of classified material. It's it can be
interpreted many ways, one way, which is the interpretation of
going on as it was not specifically marked classified.
And
this latest example, the best I can determine, it may turn on
whether or not someone forwarded a New York Times article in the
public domain. So there are a lot of unanswered questions that
I would like to see resolved very,
I would like to see them resolved. She's good. She's
very, very
good. She's good at that.
That's about it.
She's good at that. She's good at obfuscation.
Now we have this was a little this was better. This is CNN did
not have sex with that woman. Right, exactly. The point
depends on what you think the warning the meaning of the word
classified is. This is the national spokes hole for the
Clinton campaign, Karen Finney, who I would not hire. You look
at this and you listen to her. I would not hire this woman. I
don't know why she's the big spokes hole. And even a little
bit, I gotta say it like Brooke Baldwin, who I like, but she's
able to really go after her from
Bloomberg News Josh Rogen, writing quote, intelligence
officials, even inspectors general are not immune from
politics both internal and partisan, but Clinton's team
simply cannot prove that Macola is leaking against them. Her
campaign can only muddy the waters and delay until the FBI
finishes its work if the Clinton campaign decides then to go
after the FBI it will be picking a fight with an even more
formidable opponent. This is about the latest act so you no
doubt the revelation right the above the super top secret
classification. And the thought from the campaign that this was
a conspiracy, your response to that it's sort of questionable
why that IG would then continue to selectively leak information
to Republican members of Congress, who, frankly have
already said quite publicly that their goal in all of this is to
take down Hillary Clinton. These were beyond top secret emails.
Why not? Well, no, I mean, revealing apparently than
before, some say these emails are innocuous and remember that
these are emails that as the secretary treasurer, General,
well, that's one Inspector General. There are others that
say that disagree. And in fact, NBC News.
Wow. So you get to choose your inspector general.
I don't know what that was about. Yes. You
know, this inspector general just want to
leave in before some say these emails are innocuous. And
remember that these are emails that as the Secretary General's
Yes. Well, that's one Inspector General. There are others that
say that disagree. And in fact, NBC News reported yesterday,
there are others the intelligence community who not
only disagree, but they themselves and this is not us
saying this. This is, you know, insiders from the intelligence
community saying that this gentleman has, you know,
unfairly targeted Hillary Clinton. So I think it's out
there about Ovation before this inspector general to do they've
made it very, very clear that this they want to take down
Hillary Clinton, they have said that, I mean, they were very
honest about what she went for 11 hours for that, if you have
asked for a review of information, and that process is
ongoing, why would you do anything to interfere? But with
all due respect, What's the proof? Where's the evidence?
Yeah, I think the evidence is in the fact that we've continued to
see this pattern. And again, the idea being it, you know, they're
trying to stir the pot, and you know, and that's fine. They can
continue to do that, which is exactly what the Secretary was
saying. We're gonna keep focused on winning in Iowa, winning in
New Hampshire.
Right. So when I put a couple of things there, I want to get out
Sure, fine, when the woman said, this woman that you dislike, the
Hillary campaign manager, whatever she is, yeah, she said,
Well, that's just one Inspector General and other inspector
general disagreed and she kept and then she bulldoze the this
Brooke, woman, your CNN favourite? When that's when
Brooke says what other inspector general? And what did he or she
say?
Well, we're gonna find I'm sure we'll find out soon. I'm sure.
No, I saw I saw this as a as Brooke trying to hold her own.
And that's what I said she did a pretty good job to try as it is
tried for this Brooke, Brooke. Now, so when I take Clinton
saying, interagency rift, there wasn't exactly words, but the
rivalry whatever it is, by over squabble, whenever squabble
intelligence, intelligence, of course, you know, we know the
CIA. And then I did a little bit of thinking and came up with
this clip.
recapping the big news tonight. On the Democratic side. A new
report says Hillary Clinton's private email server servers
contain highly classified intelligence from the most top
secret programmes is the report that the intelligence community
inspector general sent to leaders on congressional
intelligence committees. According to a spokeswoman, you
may remember Bernie Sanders saying in a CNN debate that the
American people are sick and tired of hearing about our,
quote, damn emails. The question is whether this will ever go
away and also of Clinton can withstand a surge in the polls
that the Sanders camp is enjoying right now. Big Jeff, do
you think a political political problem this is for Clinton?
I think it's a huge political problem. I don't think it's a
big legal problem.
I mean, this is interesting. This is TOOBIN, the lawyer who
said, This is not a big legal problem. He may be right, but I
don't think the FBI is gonna wind up charging her with a
crime. It is only a crime. If you knowingly distribute
classified information, and from everything we've been able to
see, and we don't know all the facts. There is nothing with a
classified stamp on it that she ever just handed out
inappropriately. There's your legal definition. There is
information that retroactively has been declared classified.
But that's that's a very different thing. Still, this
idea of using a private server was a terrible idea. She is
paying a major political price and until the FBI comes forward,
which they may do, and says, We have closed our investigation.
And it's a big one and it doesn't go away until Jim Comey,
the director of the FBI says it does.
That's right. Comey. Do you know Comey is a Republican? We never
think about these things because he's director of FBI. But not
only is he a financial world insider being you know, he's
he's Wall Street the guy is Wall Street. He so Wall Street that
and I get to say it now. He said Martha Stewart to jail. Because
you know what? Nuts don't send your actual guys on Wall Street
to jail now send somebody stupid. Some stooge that makes
it makes it look makes it look kind of I could do it looks like
a tough. Yeah. But there's a homie. But call me specifically
endorsed John McCain specifically endorsed Mitt
Romney. And now we have an interagency rift. I would think
that the CIA would, hopefully beyond the president side.
Not necessarily. Not,
not necessarily but Brennan, you know,
Brandon, yes, but the agency know.
Right. But we have now we have the FBI with 50 agents,
investigating the emails. And as tubin just said, Well, we have
to wait to see what Comey said I, if I were Hillary Clinton, I
would not want the Jim Comey holding my future cards in his
hand or some future cards in his hand. Being a Republican, an
insider.
It could be like one of those deals that I've been predicting,
which is how Warren's going to get in, as the quid pro quo, you
know, will push push all my delegates and everybody to you,
and the money if you stay away from the Clinton Foundation,
yeah. And take into account that she did this. This thing all of
a sudden, you know, which gave her a nice 10 minutes of
beautiful crafted language in an official looking setting,
although there was no quorum, meaning not everybody was there.
I don't know
whether there's something going on. But the Comey thing is an
excellent point that he's a republican
and not just a Republican and endorser of McCain and Romney.
Yeah. How did he get picked in the first place? If this is the
case? What is Obama thinking?
Well, to me, it goes back to his board seat at HSBC. He's, you
know, this Vanguard, I think it's the Vanguard fund, the
white washing of drug money through HSBC. God knows what
this guy's into knows. Now, it's kind of funny that the there's
still 7000 documents, the State Department has to hand over. And
the court had said, Okay, here's your deadline, and they sent a
filing and said, well, we need more time. And also because of
the storm. Oh, yeah. We couldn't get the documents because of the
storm. Okay. The storm just happened
yesterday. So it's, yeah,
this was the storm. I mean, snowpocalypse.
I want to add one more little variable into the pot, which is
the commentary from x, I guess, CIA or your defence to Brad cam
Nike lost track of what this guy did gates.
Now he was Robert Gates was FBI,
FBI gates. Yeah. Gates comes out and says that there's evidence
to indicate that the North Koreans, the Russians, the
Chinese and the Iranians, all had a good look at Hillary's
server.
Yeah. Which is not exactly what he said. I don't think that's
the way the headline went. Oh, of course. Yeah, of course.
Well, if they did forensics on it, I'm sure they could, you
know, could see something, may have some log files and
the logs and got the logging stuffs coming in from
everywhere. It's not a control.
Alright, let's talk about snowpocalypse for a moment
before the snow was gone and gone for everybody's mind
because this was a little new with a state of emergency
certainly in New York. But if you're on the if you're a
drought driving in a car, you will be arrested. Arrested.
Yeah, after a certain time and they didn't die as far as I
know. They didn't arrest anybody but there wasn't very few cars
out there but I'm watching CNN wall to wall coverage of this.
And it was very funny to contrast what the what the
whichever Reporter
Is this the woman who was in the car going into the Lincoln
Tunnel down the helix? No. So they had we have press plates so
we won't be arrested. And they go down the helix to the Lincoln
Tunnel is you know, you really know how traffic is going to be
depending on where you're backed up. It was completely empty that
go down there's all kinds of cop cars. And there's no one's even
looking at him. Yeah, they are actually not looking at them.
They drive through the tunnel no one's there. It was like it was
all this nonsense it was nonsense. Yes. So
they're at this this woman standing there this it's snowing
and it's there already they have maybe two or three feet of snow
as you're all the horror the horrid she's going on and on and
meanwhile that scene behind her is all these families kids
sledding and throwing throw snowballs at each other rolling
around in the snow and making snowmen I mean they're having
the time like New York City's having the time of its lives
it's always great and they get did they get to go to their
let's go to Times Square they go to Times Square. Everybody's
having the time of their lives and these people on CNN are
reporting it. It's horrible. It's hard. They're
getting pounded and pounded. I tell Oh yeah pounded everybody
that's
the people with their cross country skiers their history.
Hilarious. This report though there was something that I
caught and then they went to split screen because they went
to what's the guy the who used to do to speak to the nation?
Talk of the press, Russert Russert. So Tim Russert kid.
Yeah, grassroots kids so they stick Tim Russert kid out in the
snow for like two days that he's his face is frozen. I think he's
drunk, actually. But for some reason, this
guy, if I'm not mistaken, he was grousing about his being stuck
that yeah,
this is where he's grousing about it. But interesting to me
is they toss to him with this almost like a throwaway line.
And they have split screen of this video that was mentioned,
which he doesn't refer to at all doesn't talk about eventually,
you just have to go to him full screen where he's grousing and
sounding cold and drunk.
Everybody's having a ball in Manhattan. Yes, there's no cars
around. You can wander around. Everyone's all bundled up and
they're going in and out of bars. Except Russert was in DC
wants to be in the bars. Russert was
the DC
for school and reporting their force in Philadelphia Jacob
Thank you sir. We also have new video coming out of Washington
DC where the National Guard is patrolling the streets. NBC is
Luke Russert. So
that is kind of new. A snowstorm and the National Guard is
patrolling the streets. I don't know why that was and they had
an in looters. They had an in car video of the National Guard.
like kind of like a GoPro kind of stuck in the corner. So that
split screen and rusted doesn't respond to it at all video
coming out of Washington DC where the National Guard is
patrolling the streets. NBC is Luke Russert is in Washington
with the very latest on this. That's the fresh video that
we're seeing right there. And look, it seems it's gotten worse
since the last time we talked for you.
Believe it or not Thomas, I've been out here since Thursday
when the preparation started yesterday when I was coming
down. This is the worst it's been and we've been on air and
the reason why the wind gusts are really picking up I just
checked on them when I was inside of a shelter, averaging
about 3035 miles per hour right now.
And now the video is gone did no mention of the National Guard
after that? Very strange.
That's just I think he's just poorly produced.
Yeah, what else is new? Now the storm of course, was, you know,
fabulous. Fabulous for a number of reasons. Because we get
people like Chris Hayes. he's the right man, you know, right.
Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. We should
do that again. Because that is that is just that's got to be
one of my my favourite fight favourite ISOs. Is it Hayes with
ES? Think it is, isn't it? Yeah, I
think so. Yeah, he's
right. Here we go. Let's just listen to him again.
There's something too, right. What do you say is true, right?
If this would be a huge risk, right. And that's quite clear to
you, right. And here's a person who is, you know, frankly, in
terms of the spectrum of American politics would be
something quite different. If Hillary Clinton can't beat that
person in the primary, well, then she's not a political
candidate anyway, right. I mean, your electability standpoint,
like, in some ways, it sort of should cash out that way.
Whether Jonathan cheap nudges it that way or not, right. Right
now, hearing scientists announced today that 2015 is the
Earth's hottest year on record, right, since they've been
keeping track of it 160 years ago. Now, some might say it's
sort of ironic to reporting this news the same day that much of
these coast is bracing for major withdrawals. That very storm
which will be hitting the east coast this weekend is going to
threaten a huge storm surge, part of which is due to a higher
sea level due to climate change. 2015 breaks the record set
the like that this is totally crap, what the climate change
has raised the ocean three feet or something is that what he's
trying to tell us? Sea level
due to climate change? Droid 2015 breaks a record set just
last year, making it the warmest year since record keeping began.
And it's part of a disturbing trend we've seen. Here's how
2015 compares with the six other warmest years on record. And
here's the overall trend since 1880. Scientists predict 2016
will be at least as warm last year, or even warmer. Climate
change is real.
That's right. I think you did a whole report last year on the
2014 bull crap be showing that 2019 97 was hotter.
was 86. And by their own
documents,
so I got this report guys at NOAA, but actually, firstly, the
National Weather centre but there's a guy there from N O A,
the National Oceanographic and
Atmospheric atmosphere a Yeah, yeah, exactly. Atmospheric
Administration, and I thought we would check
in with him. If you've been paying attention to the news at
all in the last 24 hours. You're probably well aware that there
is a big east coast storm for What about how it affects the
larger weather patterns that we're seeing? What does it mean
for the rest of the year? Well, for that the study from NOAA
just came out warmest year on record. Does climate change play
into any of this that we're selling now?
Okay, got you ready? Here's the official guy. Does climate
change play into any of this
is climate change play into any of this that we're seeing? Our
warming is unequivocal. We've seen it especially very strong
over the last 40 years. Well, we were about 98% Certain back in
September that this would break the record for the warmest
farmers gear as very possible. We could break it again next
year. We are continuing to warm it is climate change. There are
certain impacts from climate change that we're seeing right
now. This isn't a climate change storm. Oh, thank goodness,
that's this thing is a climate change storm just like there is
there's no such thing as Al Nino storm. But what we do see is the
trend for these kinds of storms, it is increasing through the
years. So if
I just understood him correctly, he says there's no correlation
between the storm and the warming. Because there's no such
thing as a climate change storm. There's no such thing as an El
Nino storm. But we do see there's more storms.
happening, right? Yeah. Nino
on this, of course, gives us an opportunity to open up the gate
to the gate to the gate to the clinic.
That's right. We go to Davos, Switzerland, where the elites
are gathered, they've all flown there, and they're I think
there's 2700 private aircraft after to Davao and there we have
our new spokes hold this is so much like the Michael Crichton
book, but I forget the title, of course. state of fear state of
fear. Here we have our big Hollywood celebrating Leonardo
DiCaprio, who is going to shill in front of all the elites. This
is at their crystal awards. They have an award show at Davos, the
Christian awards. Yes, why not? Yes. And well, there's no better
time than to spew the rhetoric of climate change upon them.
Last
month in Paris, and world leaders reached an historic
agreement that provides concrete framework whose
This is Leonardo DiCaprio,
he has a list.
Yeah, well, yeah, I think he has a hair lip, actually, that he
covers up. But I think, but at least for sure.
Last month in Paris, world leaders reached an historic
agreement that provides concrete framework to reduce carbon
emissions. This was an important first step. But we're a long way
off from claiming victory in the fight for our future. Okay, for
the survival of our planet.
This is his This is his big speech, John, this is he's very
proud of this.
The Paris Agreement was a call to action. But it's now up to
all of us to build this progress with ingenuity and a commitment
to change. Together, we're fighting to preserve our fragile
climate from irreversible damage and devastation of unthinkable
proportions.
Wow. That's a big words. We're dead. We're going to our fragile
climate John fragile.
I've been travelling recently all over the world for a
documentary about how this crisis is changing. And
naturally.
What? Movie plug, yeah, it's
his movie plug and I'm sure he was not travelling. Commercial
proportions. That's I've been travelling recently all over the
world. For a documentary about how this crisis is changing and
natural balance of our planet. Can't
wait. We should look this up. I'll look up the INCB who
was some some thing in his mouth. He like a retainer or
something. That's possible because this I've never heard
this list this bad. And when I see him in the movies, he
doesn't listen.
Yeah, I'll say that the the transcoding of the audio gives
it also a little bit of a Swissy
artefacts.
So let me just see. Let me just take a word for that effect.
Yeah, shit. Sound is the word. Besides that. Let me just take a
look at his IMDb he must see wouldn't be
in there. Has the list
date? No. I'm looking for his documentary. Let me see what
delirium No, Robin Hood origins Live By Night? Well, we'll have
to figure out what the name of that documentary is.
And Greenland and in the Arctic. I was astonished to see that
ancient glaciers are rapidly disappearing well ahead of
scientific models. In India, farmers
sibilance sibilance sort of seen
their crops their very livelihood, literally washed
away by historic flooding. There's no doubt to the world
scientific community that this is a direct result of human
activity. And the effects of climate change will become
astronomically worse in the future.
I love that he just says the scientific community but not the
science, the climate scientists but the entire science
community, which is just factually incorrect.
Last week, President Obama told those who continue to deny the
irrefutable science behind climate change. They will find
themselves increasingly lonely in a swell of voices calling for
action.
Oh, no, John Boehner. No. We're in a swell of voices. They're in
my head. They're saying take action, take actions. choices
make them stop.
But studies also show us that those who deny the reality of
climate change will also find themselves less economically
successful. We simply cannot afford to allow the corporate
greed of the coal, oil and gas industries to determine the
future of humanity
or have powered flight such as your jet aircraft.
Yes, not run on electricity. It's like listening to Sylvester
the cat. Yes, guys,
those entities with a financial interest in preserving this
destructive system have denied and even covered up the evidence
of our changing climate. Enough is enough. You know better the
world knows better history will place the blame for this
devastation squarely at their feet.
Oh,
I guess no plaque for me. Dammit. Somebody knows
when it cannot be saved unless we leave fossil fuels in the
ground where they belong. 20 years ago, we describe this
problem as an addiction. Today, we possess the means to end this
reliance. Professor Mark Jacobson and a team of
researchers at Stanford University have proven that we
can meet the world's total energy demand by using existing
renewable technology by 2050. To make that potential a reality,
we need the collective will and conviction of political business
and philanthropic leaders like all of you that this transition
is not only the right thing for our world, and makes clear
economic sense and it is possible within our lifetime. A
shift of this magnitude will save nearly 42 trillion in
global energy costs while creating 20 million new jobs.
Over the last several years, organisations and individuals
worth $3.8 trillion have already committed to divest their fossil
fuel holdings, and replace them with new investments and clean
renewable energy projects. And leaders like Bill Gates, Mark
Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos have already pledged to help build a
zero emissions future. I asked you to join them. Because if we
all do our part and act with bold, bold leadership, we can
achieve major meaningful progress and is not only an
inevitable transition, it is also imperative for the future
of our planet.
I guarantee you this like guarantee you this the best
actor award, Leonardo DiCaprio for the 2016 Oscars, no doubt
about
it. Well, you might be right. Well, of
course. Now we all love in the end needs to do as little
climate thing.
It was even interesting. And that's listening that sibilance
was just over the top and it may have been the recording.
Part of it the recording he has a little bit of a lisp toddler's
need the de Esser. That's what it's called.
Todd Stern, is the US Special Envoy for Climate Change. And he
was at the Council on Foreign Relations, you know, the
drinking club. Yet he got a rather inconvenient question. In
March
of 2015, Gallup took a poll and 55% of Americans that responded,
were concerned about climate change. And also they asked a
specific question on the survey says, Do you think that global
warming will pose a serious threat to you or your way of
life in your lifetime? And in 2015 62% of Americans said no.
So I wondered how those numbers jive with what you're saying
about increasing numbers of people believing in climate
change and its effects,
okay, this is rather complicated. So the number of
people who do not believe in climate change has risen to 62%,
according to this journalist, so how do we answer that? Thank
you. Thank you.
Well, so I don't I'm not armed with with with any numbers that
I've looked at recently, but like I think that a lot of here
and everywhere else questions like this dependent enormously.
What the nature of the question is, I guess didn't ask the
question, right. And how I was how it's phrased and mean for
people to say they don't think it's a serious threat within
their lifetime is completely understandable given what the
way the issue is, is commonly talked about and understood in
the press. So I think if I think if we were, if you
would have What could he say it this
way he's even talking he should just shut up.
If you're an election buff actually look at Real Clear
Politics everyday like I do. You'll see that they that
there's a whole bunch of polls in New Hampshire, Iowa, this
place that that place, and the line that that's at the top of
real clear, is an average of a bunch of polls. So I think if
you saw if we did a sampling,
the whole point is no answer. Oh, the polls aren't right. It
has to be an average. These guys are
losing their mojo. Yeah. They had everything going on but
they're losing their mojo is mostly because you know, the
outside freezing to death, and some snow storm talking about
global warming. It's just people just what's wrong with this
picture? Now, I do have one I gotta go. I gotta climate gate
thing. All right. So we have this big gas leak? That's
yeah, this is yeah, this is this is fabulous. And finding
out more and more about it. I don't know why somebody just
doesn't take a match.
Apparently, they can't do anything until Feb end of
February.
Well, I don't know why that would be. But the problem seems
to be the thing is 8000 feet down. That's where the real guy
in the restaurant and this gas leak that's coming out of the
hole is not coming out of the house kind of like leaching up I
guess through the soil and 8000 feet. And then belching out all
over the place. And
apparently people are starting to get ill now from now people
have been getting
a lot of people moved out of the neighbourhood. Now, generally
speaking, this gas should just go up. And it shouldn't really
affect anybody on the ground. It's not heavier than air. And
you can see the plume, it's just kind of going up. It's not very,
it's not helium either. So it doesn't just disappear. But
it's, it's interesting. And so Jerry Brown has been there for a
while and has been going on it is only recently somebody does
some infrared photography that they they found this this leak,
and it's tonnes and tonnes. So here's the report on this thing
that took place or is going on as we speak. And Jerry Brown
decides to give his State of the California speech and for some
reason, talks about global warming and all the rest of it.
And despite this leak going on, he fails to mention his gas
leak. Yeah,
in California officials have doubled the impact zone, the
uncontrollable methane gas leak in the Porter Ranch
neighbourhood of Los Angeles. It's being called the nation's
biggest environmental disaster since the BP oil spill. Methane
gas is a powerful greenhouse gas that accelerates climate change.
California Governor Jerry Brown did not mention the lake during
his State of the State Thursday, but he did speak about the need
to address climate change.
Thankfully, the rest of the world has heard the message
humankind must change the ways and radically decarbonize the
economy. The Paris Climate Agreement was a breakthrough
dig that's all he had to say. Whoa
of the supposedly the worst environmental disaster since the
Exxon thing or the BP the BP oil spill, this is the biggest
climate disaster since then and he won't doesn't mention it and
nobody's doing anything about it.
Now what are the what are the options here? It can now can you
smoke anywhere near this thing
have no idea what the you know I answered the questions not I
have no idea because I don't know what's really going on. It
seems to me that with this stuff mixed with oxygen you should be
able to just light it Yeah. And it would be then it would be
like a it would create they would burn it and that would
eliminate I think
that initial ignition be a doozy
this let's see if it's going down 8000 feet in that hole
possible the whole mountain
but it sounds to me it sounds to me like they're they're Formics
and don't know what to do.
Well on the other hand, how come and has been lit off already if
it's so diverse so gassy? It's mystifies me Yeah. And I don't
see and I to be honest about I do not see why somebody hasn't
taken a and just some punk we're talking about Los Angeles. We
have a bunch of punks just go one of them. Take a flare gun.
Throw a firecracker out there. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, you know, I don't want to be near it. So I think a flare
gun is the way to go. You get a flare gun. Org floating bullet
something and you get you know a quarter mile away and you shoot
it the thing and you know just lob it in there with a flare and
light that thing off and see what happens. How come it hasn't
lit off by itself?
Well, five facts to know about the California methane leak just
while you were speaking. So methane of course main component
of natural gas the leak originated underground is an
environmental disaster natural
gas explosion. It's
dangerous. It's dangerous. Yeah, we had a lot here ago. The
methane leak could also be dangerous for people who live in
Porter Ranch, methane is highly flammable. Depending on its
concentration in the air can also be dangerous to inhale
methane fumes because methane can occupy the same place as
blood cells that oxygen normally does. Yeah, symptoms of methane
exposure include headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness,
weakness, loss of coordination, and serious cases people may
blackout or die. Yeah, more than 2000 residents of Porter Ranch
California been evacuated from their homes after people
complained of headaches and nosebleeds. Ooh. And it could
take months to fix Now why does it take months to fix let's see.
To stop the leak the gas company said it plans to drill drill
drill the relief well. The that's why they have to drill a
relief well.
Why can't they cap this thing or do something and capture some of
this gas and give it to the people
they aren't giving it to the people just didn't ask for it.
They're slaves have a methane gas. Wow. Wow
sucking in you might suck it in.
And with that, I want to thank you for your courage and your
passion and say in the morning to you John C with a C stands
for kaput. DeVore AK.
And in the morning to you Mr. Adam curry also in the morning

or two. And this of course was the episode titled buffoonery
and the artwork for that was the joy of jihad, which is, came to
me later that we should have registered gender.com as the
jihadi Tinder, that's kind of where this
gender gender. John Yeah, we should have registered that
because God knows. We could make millions on it. Another another
million dollar millions and millions and millions. Another
million
dollar no agenda idea. Exactly. So we're working towards episode

donate 800 pennies, or 800 dimes are of course $800. Then when we
got actually I'm looking at the spreadsheet, we have 12344 Whole
people who donated 100 dimes. Yeah, and we and that's a big
success to this idea.
And 1-234-567-8910 1112 13 people who did 800 pennies.
Well, no, I doesn't matter.
I knock them dead. I don't forget.
I appreciate any donation.

I never came back and got fed up with us.
And they sent my money back, which we did. appropriately.
Yes. Reminder, we do have a couple of meetups taking place.
We have one on the 30th of January in Albuquerque, New
Mexico go to meetup.com/no agenda to find out more. And as
John said, we do have another show on Thursday. We need some
help
devorah.org/n.
A we need help in all forms and all ways you can do it, for
instance, propagate the formula? Our formula is this. We go out.
We had people in the mouth boy Shut up. So
we want to talk a little bit about the refugee situation.
Yeah, we need to Well, let me just for the number of reasons,
apparently Callay where they have a huge encampment now Yep.
CO N has got a name, like death camp or something. It's got a
name. And these different documentaries keep going in
there. And they keep getting beat up by by teens. Yeah. And
so it's become a place where punks
are now Kelleigh they have sub there's the I guess what
happened? Is that a whole bunch of migrants storming the ferry.
Yeah. And here's what I saw. I saw very professional signs and
flags for the Communist Party of France.
Oh, that would make sense.
You know, the big what is it? A and P I think it is an AP
national anti capitalist party. So the the Friends of the French
Communist a French Communist Party has been outfitting these
guys at least with flags.
Yeah. No clothes, no blankets. It's
not very old water. No cash. That's like, that's not that's
not okay. Well,
well, I got a couple of clips. I want to play one of them. Both
of these attack clips, but the one that would gotten my
attention and you'll probably trying to figure out why is some
Dutch documentarians and journalists who were attacked.
And here's a report on RT.
Which one is Oh, Okay, gotcha. Yeah, gotta
have a refugee camp dumped the jungle. Robert Edwards by John's
message on
Twitter jungle.
Jungle. Now nice thing
that a group of teens pinned up against the wall and threatened
him with a knife. Early. We spoke to him on the phone about
what happened.
I was approached by a group of young men of minors, I don't
know if there are unaccompanied. There are many, many of them
like that in the camp. They will clearly say I was approached to
first aid began asking me for cigarettes. And then they get
close and they start trying my pockets and I tried to back away
and then they pushed me against a wall. They draw knives, they
have little craft knives, small blades. Eventually, I managed to
push away and I run back towards the entrance to the county
motorway bridge there. I'm amazed by the number of
unaccompanied minors under the teens who are here, who have
gaps in their education now are in freezing cold temperatures,
it was minus five nights. Their rights under the convention and
the Declaration of the Rights of the Child are being trampled
hurtling so you can completely understand that frustration,
anger and desperation and going through
okay, yeah, this was not the clip I wanted the other ones the
one I wanted to get jumped on with a Dutch guy, but I do have
to come this the other clip. This was the liberal guy, so
he's getting beat up. He's all of these. They're unaccompanied
minors and there is a violation of some, you know, crazy un
thing and he's going to protect the child. Of course, this was
the liberal guy who was just seeing this all in terms of
politics. Yeah. unaccompanied minors. Oh, what are we going to
do we got to I mean, this was an EU guy you know going on and on
about you know, the these more controls is a fascist you guys a
fascist, but the Dutch guy is the one that I think was more
interesting for a variety of reasons.
A few days ago, two Dutch journalists were attacked by
knife wielding migrants in Cali while filming a documentary.
called Holy shit, man, he wants to stick me with the knife
votes and describe to our team what he saw.
While we were walking around that he had to the camp. It was
a day when people were moving their places because zone
potential be evacuated. And suddenly out of nowhere, three
people jumped on me. I had not seen these people coming. I was
not filming them. I don't know where they were coming from. And
they suddenly jumped on me and the rest you can see on the
video with all went very quickly. And luckily some other
people the two or three other refugees from again came to our
rescue.
It is fairly good. Are you waiting for me to speak in Dutch
to you?
I just you're just
you just bought 1 million now. What do you want? But don't you?
Ever since you started doing that voice? I know. It's crazy.
You keep a straight face when I hear it from some
Dutch guy but I was not filming when it happens. But they tried
to stick the knife in me man shit he
Yeah. I those kinds of actions taking place at the jungle.
Now. Unfortunately, the thing that I don't like about this
story is that oh, unfortunately, I wasn't filming. And then when
they were, they filmed it for 40. So he wasn't filming. But
somebody was filming because they had they showed this Dutch
guy. And by the way, it was the classic Dutch guy with the crazy
hair and big beard. And he's a fat guy. And so they showed him
beaten this guy beaten the Dutch guy up and the camera guy had
his camera was running and he had almost him and then the guys
came over and beat up the camera man. But it was all shown it was
well the jungle is it's a crappy place and how this has been this
has been going on for the longest I think of all the all
the camps because these these, I think now five or 6000. Yeah, in
these camps. They've just been they're just sitting there. Oh,
it's a mess.
I wouldn't go in there.
Do you have anything else? Because I do have a few things
we need to talk about in this regard.
I'm done. Okay.
So here is what's happening. First we have there was this 16
year old German girl and she did a rather long YouTube video,
although it was not originally posted on YouTube. It was
originally posted on Facebook, where it was deleted. Now as we
know, Angular Merkel asked Mark Zuckerberg personally, and we
have the audio evidence of this. When they were all in, I think
it was when they were in Paris. And she's like, Hey, you know,
you're gonna work on this and you're gonna get rid of those,
you know, anyone who's saying hateful things about the
immigrants, you got to delete it? And he said, Yeah, I'm
working on that. And then this really went into effect about a
week and a half or two weeks ago. So her video and her entire
account was deleted. So this was reposted her account. her
Facebook account? Yeah. was put on system. She took
her whole account down. Yeah. I don't
know really what happened because you there's no forensics
for me to track but that's the story. Now this girl that was in
it, actually, I went back and forth with our friend and Scylla
about this, because she's highly sceptical sceptical of what's
going on. And this girl was saying we're afraid she was gay
examples of when she was harassed and how worried she is
to go out even to the supermarket at 6pm. In the
winter, it's dark at 6pm at Germany, Germany is dead. See,
she said, Oh, the youth in Germany now called Angular
Merkel Fatima, but that was kind of kind of cute, that they're
calling her Fatima Merkel the end the what she consistently
says In this video, this something and Scylla pointed out
it Is I can't believe these are refugees. If this is how, why
would refugees ever act like this and a country that is here
to help them to host them, and we really want to do good. And I
think she may be right. It may not be just specifically
refugees. And this is, you know, ancillary John provocateur? Yes.
And Civilis. Point is it's a John provocateurs. Exactly. And
I have well, there's some credence to that. Because the
number one message coming out of Europe and I have two separate
reports, but pretty much the same report from both France and
Germany. So here is the German report, which
is praying on his own today, here in Berlin Centre for Jewish
students. Most of the students that only come here on Shabbat,
the Jewish holy day, course is German, but sometimes he doesn't
feel that he belongs
on the existence of Jews in Germany is still something
extraordinary, and I don't know when it will become normality.
But I'm proud to live here as a Jew, of course, believes
that Jews have to support each other in times like these. anti
semitism is on the rise in Germany to anti semitic attacks
increased last year by 10%. According to an organisation
citing unpublished government figures, NGOs admit to feeling
uneasy is English.
I wouldn't say I'm afraid, but the spirit of anti semitism is
in the air. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable wearing a kippah
on the streets. But I don't think you should let yourself be
deterred if you want to wear one,
even if many Jews from other European countries are
immigrating to Israel at the moment, and he is adamant that
he wants to stay in Germany.
Okay, so there's the German report anti semitism on the rise
coming from being from just people on the street. Jews don't
want to wear their kippah or yarmulke, I guess, as we'd say
here, they're worried and they are moving away to Israel.
Here's the French report.
The Ages are as varied as the backgrounds in this class
students in their 20s or 40s, from France or Russia, all
learning the same language Hebrew they are new immigrants
to Israel, part of the largest wave of Jewish emigration from
Western Europe to Israel. Since 1948. French Jews are leading
that wave. Many have made their home in Ashdod a city in
southern Israel here, you are as likely to hear French on the
streets as Hebrew. The cultural centre here in the heart of us
doing right near City Hall looks an awful lot like the Louvre.
And across the street is Cafe Leo, a popular meeting spot for
the French community here in the city. Sitting here at this
French Cafe and I thought it's quite stunning. All the
conversations you hear around me are in French, the entire menu
is in French. And on the window side it says in French Joie de
vie the enjoyment of life. And that's what French Jews like
shoddily done, say they're looking for a place to combine
their old home with their new one. We've tried to preserve our
culture here. He says, it's very important to hold on to that
when you've lived in a different country for 30 or 40 years. We
bring our old culture with us and try to combine it with a new
one reminders of why they left continue to this day, a Jewish
teacher was attacked last week in Marseille in an ISIS inspired
attack. And the city's chief rabbi told Jews not to wear
religious skullcaps called a key PA on the French streets.
According to the EU, the vast majority of French Jews avoid
openly identifying as Jewish, at least some of the time.
All right, that's problematic, and particularly in Europe,
where we've been through this whatever happened to never
again, I would say that the German Chancellor Fauci Merkel
has taken this to task and her she has a video podcast. So you
know, she said, particular vigilance is necessary regarding
young people who come from countries where hatred of Israel
and Jews is widespread. She called for intensive action
against the anti semitism urging vigilance, particularly
regarding young people from countries where hatred of Israel
anti semitism is widespread. Now, before we talk about that,
just a couple things that are in the news that related to this.
There is there is a call in Germany. Let me see who was it
that said this, though, this is a Muslim stern group. Is that
it? Yes. We're saying if Germany wants to prevent further sex
attacks, this is on Facebook. So who knows how big this group
really is? Then Germany must ban alcohol. Because, you know,
obviously, that's something that doesn't jive well with the
immigrants and women should not be wearing perfume, because
that's like just throwing the raw meat in front of the wolves
and this is from this Muslim group themselves. In Sweden,
there's there was just a case around a 22 year old Bosnian man
who could not prove that he had a driver's licence because he
couldn't get the paperwork. He didn't have the original
paperwork from from wherever his home country was on being
persecuted. So they've changed. They've changed the regulations
now that you have up to 12 months grace period, if you're
caught in Sweden driving without a licence, if you're an
immigrant, then they'll give you 12 months to either find your
find it or to take a test. But you get to drive around just 12
months whether you have a licence or not. This is
make them take the test immediately. Sure, this guy got
one week.
I know this is pissing people off the BBC though the BBC have
this article, which is read the whole thing. It's teaching
migrants how to behave. And this is about Finland. And then
again, I want to implore everyone to watch Lillehammer
the first season, which of course, not Finland, but Norway
and you'll see how these what really goes on in these refugee
centres and how strange the cultural clash is. migrants
arriving in Finland are being offered classes on finished
values and how to behave towards women. Concerned about a rise in
the number of sexual assaults in the country the government wants
to make sure that people from very conservative cultures know
what to expect in a new home. And so in Finland, Johanna says
he was one of these teachers you can't buy a wife a woman will be
your only be your wife if she wants to be because here women
are men's equals. This is this is what has to be taught. Her PV
her pupils all received recently arrived as asylum seekers at
this reception centre hidden away in the snowy depths of the
finish forest. Some speak English some passable and he
goes on to say one man hunkered down inside his black ski jacket
seems to be taking notes. While there's a faint smile on the
lips of the only headscarf young woman in the room, of course,
quote, but you can't go out to the disco with a woman here as
Johanna. But you can go out to the disco with a woman here she
said. Although remember, even if she dances with you very closely
and it's wearing a short skirt. That doesn't mean she wants to
have sex with you. A Somali teenager pulls his Willie hat
over his ears and cradles his head in his hands as if his
brain can't cope with all this new information. Damn. This is a
very liberal country. He says incredulously we have a lot to
learn in my country. If you make sexy with a woman you are
killed. He turns to his neighbour a Melania, a Malian
man of a similar age to gauge his reaction. It's quite
amazing. The Malian nods in my country A woman should not go
out without her husband or brother. Joanna now turns her
attention to homosexuality and the Iraqi man in the back row.
It's always the back row begin to giggle and snicker. So, if
this shows you in very clear terms that there is a cultural
difference that is troubling.
So is this a shock to anybody?
Yes Yeah, I guess it is I people did not understand.
Ah, I can see it being a shock to the Brits.
Now let's look at the John provocateur angle because the
one that immediately comes up with you because what what are
we what are the we know what we didn't get? We didn't get Hey,
women are being accosted. That was held back it was partially
covered up it was not reported that oh, we're sorry. We should
have the report of that. But we do get large pieces on is anti
semitism with no counter reporting on the people who
supposedly are anti semitic. I'll point that out. These
pieces did not show anyone sitting up any migrant saying
oh, we hate the Jews. So no matter what is happening,
whether it's John provocateurs, whether there's some angle being
played with the anti semitism vibe I think the end result is
is is the same screwed
Well, I can you back this up and tell me what the point of this
is. Well, I brought a lot of stuff out and I'm I think I'm in
Silla him because I'm
in senior she and seeing you I don't want to blame her. But she
insinuated lamer, she insinuated, she feels that is
possibly a Zionist move. By bringing all this to the
forefront, and really trying to make the immigrants look like
total crap. And for something to happen, and the best way to do
that is once you bring in the Jews with anti semitism in
Europe,
your theory that you can be bringing in the gays and more.
Well, that's by the BBCs. That will maybe there'll be next.
Maybe there'll be next. In fact, I'm shocked that we haven't
heard any reports of of gay bashing and beaten people beaten
gays up. The question is
that is a missing piece of what should be a more concise puzzle.
So the whole Yes, so if we look at the puzzle, we know that
Turkey doesn't care. Someone wants to ruin Europe, because
that's what's happening. Russian
I don't know
Well, Russia did have a relationship with Turkey
previously.
And they Cut cut cut out a bunch of clips about I do have one
clip that's kind of discusses the Russians angle in here, not
about that particular thing. But I would say the plot the Russia
in Davos is that this is a short clip of a lot of a longer series
of clips with everybody complaining constantly about the
sanctions. Where's the clip?
I don't know, I'm looking to I got sanctions. So before we play
this, maybe we should just be on the lookout for the next level,
which would be as you point out, bringing the gays that would be
the next piece that would that would start to solidify that
there's more going on that there is some agenda. And it's not
just a horrible migration pattern that is ruining the
world where there may be some something happening with
it's contributing to growing fears of another 2008 style
global crash. So Russia has been hit, perhaps hardest of all, it
has the added burden, of course of sanctions, Western sanctions,
but growing numbers of Western business chiefs, we spoke to a
fed up, but with such political interference getting in the way,
I see a couple of CEOs of major German companies in this room.
They would love and I have great sympathy, sympathy for that.
They would love to see the sanctions ended, rather today
than a year from now. And there is no enthusiasm at all about
the sanctions.
Because all these problems are affecting the billionaires here
directly. They're losing millions from the sanctions and
the market meltdown as well. They told me they want to move
on and take advantage of the low share prices at the moment many
say now is exactly the right time to invest.
Kind of is Yeah. Just as an aside, I would like to find out
if the last edition of the CBS show elementary which is the
Sherlock Holmes set in New York or something story
someone sent me a clip about that is that we referring to
Holy crap,
it was like all no agenda. Did you clip it? Now it's nothing to
clip it was the entire show.
Oh, someone sent me a clip of something that was really
relevant about that.
They talked about the Russian rockets and the rocket motors
and some scam to build some Local Motors and the whole it
was a complicated story that had nothing but the stuff we talked
about in the and done right. You want to work and I have the was
it like a, you know, a screwed up mess. It was very well
written.
I have one quick clip from it. Let me see. I think this, this
will do it. Oops. Where are we? Yeah, one of our producers sent
this in
Ukrainian government has been framed. This suggests a third
party who wants to keep the war going. Now ask yourself who
profits most in times of war, arms dealers, weapons are the
United States most profitable export and indeed, American
ethnic communities have a long tradition of sending weapons to
the water. And let me guess what's happening with Ukraine to
the Ukrainians have even gone so far as to send dedicated
fundraisers to the United States. I just got a phone with
someone who gave me a list of American arms dealers most
active in the Ukrainian conflict. Yeah, it goes
on. Yeah. Actually, if anyone get a hold of that thing that
died. The whole show is like beautiful. Very well done and
good. Well plotted.
Check this out, John. So Angela. Angela Castaneda sent me the
link to the Capri O's documentary. Yeah. Green world
rising. But now check this out if it's green green world
rising.org That is Yeah, so this is supporting partners Leonardo
DiCaprio Foundation tree Media Foundation The mangrove
foundation and then C TX The Carbon trade exchange. Oh
really? Leonardo
it's yours not C TX The railroad seat
now that's see that's CX C TX global.com And that's what he's
promoting the carbon exchange card carbon trading
never give up
that's it's unbelievable. The scam
but if you want to cap and trade can we say it again? Yeah, just
because it's such a disaster all this carbon in the air. Why do
you why do you want to cap What do you want to do this cap and
trade you want to trade? Oh, yeah, we're gonna keep pumping
it out. But we're going to trade with somebody in in Venezuela
because they have a forest and then of course somebody gets a
an Abloh piece of the action this is
Leonardo DiCaprio. He is the he's the successor to Al Gore.
Check it up. Carbon trade exchange was founded in 2009. To
operate spot exchanges in multiple global environment
commodity. Environmental commodity markets, including
carbon renewable energy certificates and water are going
to be trading water. The commercialised technology
platform that we operate, operate allow us to cover the
various products that exist within multiple markets and
provide an exchange by which sellers and buyers are matched
in a secure and efficient manner. John, this is it they
finally got it out. And DiCaprio is spearheading it. Who are the
board members of this things? Take a look. Baden right don't
know him. Wayne sharp? No. Nathan Rockcliffe these are
lawyers, lawyers, lawyers, lawyers, traders, Lee West, the
Wall Street. That's just the board maybe management or
something. But this
this is it. There's a board of advisors.
I'm looking at the now there's no names I recognise. It's just
a financial thing. It's here products. What do they have
under Products? Oh my god. RGG I vintage 2015 co2 allowance spot.
Investment Vehicle. Yeah,
verified carbon units, verified emission reduction, which is
also a carbon market. But then they have the water entitlement
market, the water allocation market all of all being traded
the trading with the Earth's stuff. Unbelievable. Something's
sick about it. It's very sick. That'd be clipping the day and
it's yeah. That's always happens to me be a clip of the day if we
had to clip no clips now I wish we had a trailer of his
documentary that would be Oh films maybe what is this?
Restoration green world rising? So this would be it? I guess.
Let's see. Is that a video? Yes. Oh, luckily, let's go.
The scientific community has spoken. Climate change is
happening now and is caused by human activity. Fossil fuels,
black oil, coal and gas have created modern societies we know
it but when burnt into the atmosphere, carbon causes
climate change. But it doesn't have to be this way. No, we have
the solutions and we must move quickly to implement them. Human
ingenuity working alongside Earth's natural systems is
building a new world that is sustainable and self reliant.
The sun wind and waters we can move away from our dependence on
fossil fuels.
Okay, well to look at that and post that there'll be clips from
this on Thursday show for sure. Thanks, Angela. Dynamite
play the Howard deed and scream
do we have that? Do an eclipse ah we do okay maybe I should do
a combo so
it's really nothing compared to what's going on today? No, it's
it's it's still good though. I think we should do maybe we
could do a combo deals like yeah, that would work
actually our scream that's super good scream where's that that's
the one you want to play.
Okay. Right with Howard Dean before it yeah Howard Dean. And
we want the no scream right Okay, here we go. Let's try this
again. Production while you're ready ladies and gentlemen, we
do it for you on the fly. Here we go.
Guys, that's the screen
now you're talking.
Alright, let's play this. Let's catch up with a couple of
international things. Iran is one of them is here is the grand
leader of Iran talking about where the future lies. And once
these everything is pulled, they've done more sanctions and
they've tourism tourists.
international sanctions have been lifted on Iran after the UN
atomic watchdog found it had complied with a landmark nuclear
deal. Well, the news will see billions of dollars of tariffs
assets on frozen and an end to crippling bounds on its oil
exports. But even before diplomat signed on the dotted
line firms had been flocking to Iran for business value. We are
in good shape and Michelle Harrison plus report. Now that
the ink is well and truly dry on Iran's nuclear deal, President
Hassan Rouhani promises an economic boom for the country.
Iran's leader presenting parliament with the proposed
annual budget the first post sanctions
the lifting of sanctions will lead to a significant economic
upturn for the country. To achieve a growth rate of 8% We
must attract between 30 Two $50 billion in foreign investment
every year.
Iran is in recession with a growth rate of around 0%. But an
end to a longtime embargo opens the door to Iran's return to the
global market. As Tehran recovers billions of dollars in
frozen assets and gains access to international financial
systems. With the lifting of sanctions, we can receive
payments more easily. There'll be a swift ion system in place
and we can accept credit cards. That's really important for the
tourism industry, tourism, tourism built on the heritage
and cultural splendours of the Persian Empire, the government
same to roll up the carpet for 20 million tourists between now
and 2025. Several hotel groups such as our car have prepared
for the spike in visitors and locked in lucrative contracts.
The French brand has already opened two hotels near the new
airports in the Iranian capital.
Yeah, I'd like to go. Yeah, me too. I'd be great. But and Iran
and North Korea,
North Korea at the top of the list,
of course. Yeah. But I had a little piece on Iran from Kerry.
About we know him, he's a douche. And what's gonna happen
with all that money,
so even if it's the least worst outcome, but just to put a fine
point in there, do you believe that any of that $55 billion
ends up in the hands of tariffs,
I think that some of it will end up in the hands of the IRGC are
of other entities, some of which are labelled terrorist. You
know, to some degree, I'm not going to sit here and tell you
that every component of that can be prevented, but I can tell you
this. Right now. We are not seeing the early delivery of
funds going to that kind of Endeavour at this point in time.
I'm sure at some point, some of it will. Okay.
Terrorists will be getting the money. Fine. Rich run the
country. Oh, he cannot don't let him. The El Chapo arrest had
no El Chapo news. Yeah,
well, this is it's been bubbling for a couple of days. This is
the report that I picked up almost a week ago.
Mexican police raided Joaquin El Chapo Guzman's home two weeks
ago. Inside they found a handgun and eight rifles, including a 50
calibre Barrett sniper rifle. The $13,000 weapon is designed
to stop a vehicle, penetrate armour, or bring down a
helicopter single shot. According to federal sources in
ATF trace match that weapons serial number to a master list
of some 2000 guns sold through Operation Fast and Furious, US
government sting operation that inadvertently funnelled 1000s of
weapons to the scene a lower cartel House Oversight Chairman
Jason Chaffetz and fellow Republican Senate Judiciary
Chairman Charles Grassley are writing a letter Wednesday
demanding ATF turned over the serial numbers of all of the
weapons found in El Chapo is possession so fast
and furious had kind of dropped off the radar
because they can make a case in the Justice Department under
holder would refuse to turn anything over. And we are theory
of course, is not a theory, but it was brought out in a
testimony in Chicago courts of a civil law a guy now there was a
deal the whole thing was rigged. That Fast and Furious was just a
gun running operation that we were good working with the
Sinaloa Cartel with
here is White House spokes hold Josh Earnest with his response
to the situation.
As I'm sure you saw. The ATF is reportedly identified a 50
calibre rifle that was found in El Chapo is hideout I'm
wondering, is administration frustrated 250 from from the
Fast and Furious programme? Is the administration frustrated to
again see weapons from this programme show up in crime
scenes?
I can tell you that I've seen those reports. I haven't
actually been able to confirm them independently. So let me
take a look at that. Obviously,
I'm sure you'll rush right over and take a look at
that more generally, we've been quite concerned about the ease
with which the arms tends to arms tend to flow across the
border between the United States and Mexico and we obviously
worked. We've gone to great lengths to work with the Mexico
government to try to shut down the flow of arms back and forth
between our two countries.
A liar, fraud a horrible liar. And this came up in a in a
hearing on the hill with our country and western Attorney
General. Lynch served
previously in the House of Representatives in the Oversight
and Government Reform Committee. It was part of the committee
when we went to the subpoena process to ask her predecessor
for additional documents for the Fast and Furious investigation
on guns. Those were delayed to us. Privilege was announced on
that as of yesterday, a court has told The Attorney General's
office had those documents need to be turned over by February.
The second, I need clarification, will all those
documents now be released to the Oversight and Government Reform
Committee by February the second as per the judge's order?
Well, thank you for the question. Senator, we did
receive that ruling yesterday, we are still reviewing that
ruling. I am aware that provisioning, of course wants to
study it carefully, and determine what appropriate steps
to take and the timeliness of them. But I can certainly assure
you that we will be either responding to the committee or
to the court at the appropriate
time. So you're
not like saying yes or no, whether those documents will be
turned over in time. And clearly they've been collected, they've
been collected for years, we'll,
if we'll pursue any additional legal action, we have not made
that decision. And I would let you know. And since we have not,
I'm not able to give you that information at this time.
Do you know when that answer will come back out? We will let
you know certainly within the timeframe period that you just
mentioned. Slay Exactly. That's it,
we'll have none of that. If I were a cynical guy, you'd think
that the future of this country depends on who can manage the
drugs the best. And I think the Obama administration did pretty
well with with the guns and helping the drugs get out. Yeah,
you've got to send a low cartel kill people. Got it and Guzman
out a few times and then catching him again. It's like
Can't you you know, you would take a cantik Guzman and take
off go some go go to South America.
Now the go to people of course for drug running or the
Clintons. If you look up Mena, Arkansas, and do that through a
proxy. So you don't get a visit from Hillary to it through a
proxy of a famous Arkansas. Allegedly, the Clintons were
running the drugs for the bushes just to make it even crazier. So
the the person who would be most suited to be president, the
United States has got to be Donald Trump, because he wants
to regulate the trade. That's what that's what his big wall
and door is about. The beautiful door is to sanction and get
stuff through that we want to have come through and not have
it a little more organised. And with that comes HSBC
was pretty unorganised, the way it is now. It's very
unorganised, that stupid, Fast and Furious thing. I mean, come
on.
That's not a good way to handle it. No. And now
they're under investigation. They have to keep lying to the
public into the Congress and Congress is too wimpy to do
anything about it. Now, we could
also say it would be great if you if we had Hillary Clinton
and Jeb Bush running against each other, which was the
initial idea. Before Trump came in and ruined a no lose
situation, then whoever gets in will run the drugs properly. And
people can think that, you know, crazy crackpot for saying this,
but there isn't enough evidence. There's enough evidence, but not
for saying this. No. Drugs come into the country. And they're
coming mainly from Mexico, for sure. For sure. So anyone who's
against the wall, but those who are for it, and what a beautiful
door. Yeah. So that that to me, and Trump has a background, even
though the mob they you know, they try to stay away from from
drugs, and liquor and stuff. And that kind of stuff was a myth. I
know it could be. But I maybe I'm just cynical. I don't know.
We do have a new army Secretary coming in.
Isn't he the new Joint Chief of staffers, new army guy.
This will be the new army secretary. Okay. And he's
already been acting as the army secretary. And this was during
his confirmation hearing, he was asked about the battle to
degrade and destroy ISIS. Have a listen. Tell me if you notice
any, anything peculiar about him,
ostensibly. And you were in the administration at the time, the
reason why we couldn't leave a sustaining force behind in Iraq,
at the time of the withdrawal was because we didn't have a
status of forces agreement. So therefore, it would be
impossible for us to leave it forced behind yet somehow we
have now 4500 uniformed members of the military, and no one
seems to be concerned about the fact we don't have a status of
forces agreement with the Iraqis. I've met
McCain doing this typical thing like, Whoa, how can we be there?
If we don't have the right to be there? I find that
curious. Let me let me ask you a fundamental question in Iraq and
in Syria in the battle against ISIS, which is now
metastasizing, at least to the degree where we're going to have
to attack ISIS in Afghanistan, among other places. Are we
winning?
Mr. Chairman, I think it's too early to tell. We clearly are
putting a lot of pressure on ISIS, but they're also showing
that they can put pressure on us and they're not contained. But I
do think we're making progress. Recently, open source reporting
of 6400 ISIS fighters killed in the last three months we've
disrupted the supply route between Mosul and Raka. Taking
Back Sinjar and Ramadi but a great big deal to be done. I do
believe it's a long fight now along with oil, nothing about
the
oil go into Turkey. What about that? McCain say anything about
that?
What's interesting about this guy? Oh, wait,
did did his buddy, his pal, Lindsey Graham come up and start
asking the following question. Do you agree with me when I say
this? Do you agree with me when I say this? Did he do come out
and do now?
No, but he is a member of the gay and lesbian Victory Fund.
This guy, our new army secretary
is gay, especially man, Lindsey Graham.
No, he should. Well, Lindsey Graham's totally gay. Li Yeah.
Yeah, I'd never heard of this guy. And he was a C, he was a
deputy secretary, I think. I don't know.
Well, you know, the secretaries, which are the guys who really
run those those, not the Joint Chiefs, guys. But it's they act,
they actually run stuff. You mean they will report to the
secretary, the Secretary is the one who's the boss. Yeah,
they make stuff happen? For sure. For sure.
And they're all political. Many of them aren't even military.
Well, before we thank the people wait, before
we since you brought it topic up, I do have a clip that I want
to play. Because you mentioned they were talking about the
grade and all the they just term. We have a term called rub
allies. Yes, we do. I ran into a British analyst. It was on one
of these obscure shows. And he has another term which is our
it's a longer version of our rub allies. But see if you can pick
it up in this clip before we go to the rest of the to the
announcements of the people who helped us yeah, we're just this
is key clip on Kurds.
He worries about demands for independence from his own Kurds
and from the Syrian Kurds. So I suspect there will be no
independent state actually recognised internationally. But
But Turkey and US Britain will kind of make these noises to egg
them on and spur them on to continue with their dividing and
ruin strategy that they're employing against Iraq and the
other countries in the region. Oh, well, yeah. Perfect. rubeis
the place. Think we did it
divided ruin?
Yeah, that was that that was it. It was in there divide and ruin
strategy.
Beautiful. I'm writing it down. It's a good one divide and ruin
strategy.
As soon as I heard that as Oh, man, that's a good one that that
means? It's not as it's kind of apocalyptic. verbalised. But
it's probably determined that's used internally provided room.
That's another what we're doing another show title right there.
Yeah, I'm looking at it as such,
I think that we can settle our dispute once and for all. We
have a dispute. You have a small dispute. You and I Okay. The you
know, the dispute was about that. I had no idea what you
wrote a whole column about it. So I probably did about Google
self driving car.
Oh, yes. Right. Yeah.
So I think I can prove that it will not happen in our lifetime.
Which what exactly what's the bet? I said, we won't see it
happen in our lifetime. And you said we will? Yes, suddenly, and
you stay you stick by your dollar. Yeah. And you stick by
your prediction? Yeah. Okay. Well, I can prove to you that
it's not going to happen. Proof proof proof got
me thinking about the future, not just the past. And that's
what you're doing here in Detroit. You're not just making
cars that people want today, you're thinking about cars that
people are gonna want tomorrow. When I was over at the Auto
Show, I saw a plug in hybrids and electrics and fuel efficient
cars that can protect our planet, save people money at the
pump. You're working on self driving cars that one day could
prevent accidents and save lives. This year, my
administration is going to take steps to get more of those cars
on the road. We can take that to the bank. There you go.
It'll never happen. Because he promises it's never going to
happen. Do we need we need more driver assistance? stuff? That's
a great idea. That's right. You know, why is my car not
communicating with the traffic system? Maybe it is. You sound
like Ford. Like like Henry,
no Ford Motor Company they have they what you're saying is
exactly what they're always feeling. What are they what are
they saying? said just what you just said that the more inner
car communicators are talking to each other and cars talking to
their tribe.
Yes, I agree with that. Yeah. Imagine this for a second.
Suppose that these cars already know all modern cars do what
Tesla does, you know, give you a little jolt on the wheel saying
hey, you get And off track, you know, I'm sure every car could
easily be converted to if you really want the automatic
driving thing. You know, if someone stopped short in front
of you, it stops as adaptive cruise control. But what if I
could make a deal you know, with the I'm driving to work, but
I'll take a longer route and then I'll sell my spot in the
quick route to someone else who can take and there's a million
things we can do. But this going driverless is stupid.
Well, that's funny, you should bring any of this up because
there is a new moment, which I was thinking about. We're gonna
do tech news we could
have. We could do it right after the break. You want to do it
after the break.
Okay, but it's gonna be talking about cars,
cars and one other topic that I have.
Okay, I'm going to show my school by Joanie to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
hit the gong
to kind of that was the bell pushed up against the gongs
frame. There you go. All right. We do have a few people to thank
for show 793 which is seven shows away from the famous show

They, this past Saturday, they nagged every person in line for
wanting to interact with the person instead of using their
ATM. So they Oh, it's funny. It's sad to see people following
or that could eliminate their own jobs. I'm sure the
individual responsible for this customer service fiasco is not
donating to the show. Well, I'm sure they know about the show.

come here.
Right. Now this is a good one. Like what are these guys
thinking? And I didn't realise that General Motors, which is
the clip here that General Motors was a big investor in
Lyft. And they and they also invested in sidecar and
shuttered it. Hmm. Well, here's the latest idea. On Thursday,
General Motors introduced Maven, its new ride sharing service.
And a statement GM president Dan mon said we are seeing
significant changes in consumer behaviour as people want to take
advantage of new situations like ride sharing and car sharing. We
see significant portunities as those changes are coming and
want to make sure we are at the forefront of it, GM is putting a
notable emphasis on personalization and their new
programme. In the car sharing trial to take place in Michigan,
all cars will provide connected systems. Drivers will be able to
book the cars with their smartphones and can use WhatsApp
for customer service inquiries. Apple's CarPlay and Android Auto
will also have roles in the service. The news comes shortly
after GM invested $500 million in lift, and then bought sidecar
which closed its doors in December. The announcement only
added to the discussion on the future of cars in America, and
how personal ownership could become a thing of the past. And
just recently, a survey demonstrated that a smaller
amount of young Americans are getting their driver's licence.
And it's not just because of the increase in ride sharing. It's
also because of the mass migration to urban environments.
So there's more than one culprit behind the shakeup in the auto
industry.
Well, that was news to me about the $500 million.
Well, and they also apparently you buy a new GM car on your get
this, this app becomes part of the car. So if you want to just
casually pick somebody up, I guess,
I would say that's a great idea.
warblade the and I believe this to be a 40 year cycles
situation. Very much involved with the depression.
Why is it a horrible idea?
It's a horrible idea. Why? Because you're gonna get mugged.
Well, there's that idea, Rob. This is this is an analogue, the
whole ride sharing thing. I think there's some has some legs
away. Ubers doing it. But generally speaking, I think the
whole ride sharing thing is a depression motif. Oh, no, don't
like mac and cheese. And it's exactly the same as as the
hitchhiking phenomenon in the 70s. Sounds good. Compared to
guys who hitchhike across the country. I used to hitchhike
once in a while, and I'd pick people up constantly. And it
used to be, you know, kind of cool. You pick up some girls up
hitchhiking, some baby, standing or hitchhiking?
Oh, was it? Do you recall picking up a Boehm hitchhiking?
Often really? Well, I'm not going to tell the story again.
The Tahoe story? No, no, the Tahoe story that will be coming
in the future?
Well, yes, the sad part of of this ride sharing is that it's
middle class people who can't afford their car. And then
they're forced to drive other middle class people around in
their car.
You know, when I went to France in the 70s. To go to visit
Bordeaux drive around, especially to Southwest. I
remember this was in the middle of the depression of the 70s
depression, where he had all this craziness
was that night was that they didn't call that the Great
Depression.
No, no, that was the same. Nobody called nobody the Great
Depression is the 30s. And everything since then, has been
I mean, great recession. No, this is the Great Recession is
bigger. This is bigger than the 70s. No, I don't think so the
70s was far worse than this. I think they've done a pretty good
job of of, of buffering, the how bad it could be. And I think
that has to do with quantitative easing, personally. And which
relates back to that I could go on for hours about that. But so
I'm driving around France, I got rented a car and I got two
things. I noticed one I was people were running, trying to
run me off the road. They're flipping me off and yelling,
screaming at me, in Bordeaux. And then somebody I said cheetah
drivers are on here a terrible edge as somebody about does
this. Oh, no wonder you got Paris plates. Ah, and apparently
there's a lot of bigotry in France, and generally speaking
about the city dwellers of Paris. So if you knew what you
were doing you when I got that car with those plates, but the
thing I noticed the most was, everywhere I went especially
driving around the countryside, where girls, generally girls
even see with the guys, girls, everybody had these little
bicycles with these little motors on them. Their little
bitty motors in the motor make contact with the wheel. And it
was like it looked like a like a little siren motor that kids
would have
the two wheeler Yeah, it was a two wheel. It's called it's
called a Solax.
I own everybody has. So Alexa,
let me explain this all x. So you have a small two stroke
engine, which is attached to the frame on the front and it has a
roller wheel on it. And you get the bike up to speed and then
you put the the engine blazer handle, you put the engine block
on the wheel. And then as long as you give a little throttle,
it'll start because it's you know, it's generating the spark
and then it will it's called a hope a help engine. But I once
participated in the 24 hour solix race of the Cracow in the
Netherlands where we scooped them up and ran them on almost
pure alcohol. They're gonna like they did it at at God not long
though. Anyway, so like
Yes. So anyway, so everybody says he's good. girls had to sew
Lexus and what you would see commonly and this was throughout
the countryside of France. Two girls on bikes one of them had a
suit. Both of them had sold Lexus, but only one so Lex was
operating, the other girl held her hand holding
on to her. Yes, I've seen us hold her.
And then she would maybe crank Hursley. That way they can save
the five cents of gasoline that these things use. They'd be
pulling each other around. That's how bad the economy was.
They were also just kind of cool.
But it was, it was it was let's see, I'd rather not be pulled by
hand but Oh, interesting to see it.
Let's see growing up in a in a two wheel country like the
Netherlands we had this all the time. It's like if your buddy
had a Solax and you're on your bike like hey, man, and then you
just hold onto his upper arm for a little while while he's
dragging you along. That's it was it was never legal but oh,
this is that's to wield culture. It's very normal. Yeah, well you
don't see it today. No, we should those I think they still
make so so like yes they do. I looked it up I need to get with
us because a beautiful machines. We put on the big aluminium.
It probably illegal in the US because most two stroke engines
have been outlawed. Oh, is that so that's why I'd love to get
one of those old sobs, the early sobs a two stroke engine. They
had two strokes in three cylinder. I think they're three
cylinder two strokes. And they may make a racket and just build
smoke. Excellent. No oil. They burn oil. Yeah. And
that's if you don't have the mix, right? Yes, you
shouldn't be burning too much smoke out. But it's still
burning oil. And they make just a horrible sound just sound like
crap. And it's just gonna be cool to have one of those
driving around.
Alright, from the tech news category, I have something for
the dudes named Ben have a little participation thing. Now
the you know, I've been reading a lot about Bitcoin again
because there was one of these guys who was in the core Bitcoin
developers group and he left and he went to the commercial I
think it's the our three blockchain group was a bunch of
banks who are creating, you know, trying to replicate
Bitcoin, the Bitcoin technology and make their own version of
it. Um, this guy wrote, like, a fire under the whole thing is,
Bitcoin is going to fail, it doesn't scale. It's horrible.
It's a piece of shit and anyone over to the commercial guys. So
I have my favourite Bitcoin people, Dennis, I'm looking to
you, who will say, wow, you know, this bullshit. And you
know, this is that they always say it's gonna have it's not
gonna happen, and you keep sending me videos, and this is
why it's gonna be sustainable. And everybody in the Bitcoin
community is laughing. So, but what I learned from this, is
that this the Bitcoin, the blockchain, which is really all
it is, it's a distributed database, which is handy. And,
and I've always been looking at DHT space, which is distributed
hash tables, and which is pretty much a distributed database. And
there's a bunch of guys who started this new project called
IPFS, the interplanetary file system. And you heard of this
one, John? Nope, gotta look at it IP fs.io. And their idea is,
it's a, it's a blockchain technology. It's a distributed
hash table. And you start up your it's peer to peer. So you
start it up, and then you add files, and these and the files
are turned into a hash, which is just a string of pretty much
like a, like an encryption hash, but that that is unique to that
file. And they have an interesting API, which would,
there. So the, the ultimate idea they have is to have a web that
never expires. So you can through their API, you can store
and retrieve webpages or any kind of object really, and it
whether it's an HTML page, or JavaScript, or node.js, or an
mp3 file, and it will always have that unique hash string.
And it will live in the hash cloud, you know, the distributed
hash table. And it will always be there. If there's if there's
enough peers and it doesn't go away. So it's similar to you
know, BitTorrent Sync has a little bit of this, but this is
completely open source I've been playing with it for for the past
couple of days. I'm very impressed. So I'm going to put
the hash for the show for the mp3 file into the show notes at
seven nine or three.no. Agenda notes.com. And also no agenda
show.com. Now, I would like to see how that works. We have a
unique audience for testing this kind of stuff. Yes, we have a
very unique this way. And it would it could really give the
whole network a boost. And I'm very bullish on the concept.
You've been looking for something like this Long time
for hire necessarily this put something like this. Well, if
you can do say backup food the days the government says you
guys, yeah, you can't at work, you're chewing up too much
bandwidth. You're making too much money. You're subversive.
There's no danger of that.
Well, that's true. Hey, you don't want to hear from me
anymore.
Well, you can publish stuff, oh, you publish the Unabomber
licence,
exam talk about that. Exactly. And with
this, you've been you throw it, you publish it, and it's out,
it's gone as long as one other person accesses it. And of
course you have, you always have bootstrap peers and stuff like
that. But you you, you can have an app on your phone, that would
enable you to just click on a link, and it would be retrieving
these files from the from the DHT space. If you and you
wouldn't even know it could be a browser plug in, you wouldn't
even know it, except for the fact that it would be available
all the time, your links don't break in this manner. You know,
the file, you don't need a path. You don't need a server, you
just here's the file name and it's in a hash structure and you
and you will retrieve it and I've been and it's really
amazing. It really does learning
protocols. Get DHT BitTorrent Bitcoin SPS.
Well, it's its own protocol. But that is those concepts. Yeah,
peer to peer hypermedia distribution protocol. And
they're also doing a cryptocurrency called file coin.
Right?
It but it's all part of the same technology. That's what's
beautiful about I think the technology is proven to work.
And honestly, Bitcoin for all its trials and tribulations,
which uses the exact same technology is still working. But
to do this for files, I think will be it'll be fun, and I'd
really like people to set it up it look, if I can instal it on
my MacBook, then anybody can instal it's not like a huge
complicated thing. ipsf.io I'd like to see how we do. And lets,
you know, I'm always looking for alternative distribution
methods, not just for cost. But also for look, if you can
decentralise Facebook, it would be much better.
If no one controls it have some douchebag saying I can't run
those that hate speech.
And the great thing is, I don't think you can even delete a file
that's gone into DHT. Well, that's something to think
because you'd have to then have to go and find every peer that
has a copy.
Actually, that's actually that in and of itself is interesting,
right? And you'd also you don't need the bit torrent trackers,
which is why you know, torn that all these torrent sites are
going down now, so they kind of take a different approach. And
instead of saying well, you need a tracker and then the torrent
and do this someone has this information to say no, everybody
has the information. Everybody has a version of the distributed
database so you can find what that file should be and where it
was last seen or or multiple pieces of it. And then you can
you can bring it in. Um, I gotta tell you, I'm a little excited.
Because I know jacked and that close Rob are taking
my phone
I ended abruptly where you were you did you have a tech news to
do? Yeah,
I started it. I'm sorry,
General Motors. So I was just going to be cars. That was tech
news. We just started we just ended tech news. Yeah.
When I did my tech news car thing in that segment, and then
I did my tech news. Yeah. So what do you want me to do now?
Oh, I
thought you said that it wasn't over or something. I don't know.
No, I never said that. Okay, well, what I want you to do now
is I would like you to I've saved it to the end we've done
it the beginning twice as the the Oscars so white controversy
continues. Now what's nice about this controversy, which is
nothing more than promotion for the show. I predict though if
they can keep this going until the end of February which may be
tough. But we're going to see pushback by predict pretty big
ratings for the for the show. To prepare myself. I watched
straight out of Compton the other night. Okay. Have you seen
the movie? No. I I think it is deserving of the nomination for
screenplay. Although the movie was too long see like two and a
half hours or something movies too long ended in a kind of
weird way. I thought the acting was great. Not no Oscar
performances there. But the story it's a good story. That's
why it deserves the the nomination for screenplay.
Before I was at MTV around the time when these guys were you
know, when the NWA was rising Eazy E Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre. And
we have ice cube, who, of course, is really one of the
most successful guy who went on to create this mega empire. And
he was on The Graham Norton Show in the UK. And it was just
refreshing to hear his take on the Oscars. So White
controversy, since it really kind of revolves also a bit
around his movie.
So we've got to mention straight out of Compton, graduations
Oscar nominated. Best Original Screenplay? Yes. And obviously,
because the Oscars are now got mired in this in this
controversy this year. So where do you stand on all of that?
Like, oh, you go, are you going?
I never used to go anyway.
You're not boycotting,
boycott, something that you never went to anyway. That's
kind of weird. And you know, you know, it's, I look at it, as,
you know, like a horse race, you know, I'm saying once your
horse, lose the race, you tear up your ticket and gone. And
just back on now, you know, because it's nothing really to
put that much energy into like that. It's a we don't do movies
for the industry. We do movies, for the fans for the people.
And, you know, the industry, you know, if they give you a trophy
or night or patch on the back or not. It's nice, but it's not
something that you should dwell on. Yeah, you know, we got
accolades from all levels, you know, from our core fans, from
our curious fans, from our fans, or people who, you know, didn't
even think they wanted to see that movie. You know, I think
our older generation got an understanding on why we did that
kind of music and younger generation got a history lesson,
and we got so much praise for the movie. And it's like how
could you be mad because one other academy or guild or
anybody didn't say is the number one you know, it's like you
know, it's crying about you know, not having enough icing on
your cake.
There you go. Refreshing from cube. Yeah, refresh. It's
actually a very sensible way to look at it. And you're right but
but it's not about any of this anyway, it's a publicity stunt.
It is a publicity stunt. And it's working for people who
watch the Brady's had been sketchy always have been up and
down up and down and they got to Chris Rock. I mean, if he was a
black I hate the blacks thing. What would they have Chris Rock
as
the host. That's the guy you want to host with controversy.
That's perfect.
You can go he'll make a few comments. So you know, lots of
fun about Whitey Yeah, he'll do that. That's what he does and
will love it by the way. Oh, yeah, we'll have it be abused by
him. Love it
Norway's biggest bank is calling for the country to stop using
cash. Oh, geez. Actually the DNB is that their central bank? No,
no, it's not the central bank. largest bank and always called
for the country to stop using cash. This comes as the latest
get include Norwegians.
Well, they
got trouble now.
The price oil Yeah, they got trouble.
By this comes as the latest move in the country that has been
leading the global change a charge towards electronic money
vs DMB. The bank with the proposal said that eliminating
the use of cash would cut down on black market sales and crimes
such as money laundering. Today, there are approximately 50
billion kronor in circulation and the country's central bank
Nordea bank can only account for 40% of its use that means 60% of
money usage outside of any control. We believe that is due
to under the table money and laundering. Norway do not let
this happen.
It's crazy. Yeah. The more Chinese there are Chinese won't
put up with this crap.
Really? What are the Chinese doing in Norway? They're Chinese
in Norway.
No, there's not enough of them Chinese when the Chinese get
into a you know when they like we have a lot of Chinese in
California and they they would they would go nuts if they if
they were forced. They love cash. Yeah. But no, I've got a
couple clips. Did you this is a good one. This is the UK D
radicalised brainwashing story that was run on RT I don't know
if you know this is going on your mind kind of sensitive, but
I found this to be an abhorrent situation.
The British government has launched a new website aimed at
battling what it calls the spell of twisted ideologies on the
side, parents and teachers can find advice on how to identify
signs of radicalization in youth. The first sign is
argumentativeness or aggression another alarm bell is changing
clothing. And as the UK Government points out, you
should also be worried if your child wants to join an extremist
organisation and UK is trying to another leaflet for parents it
says that if children start to mistrust the mainstream media
and show anger towards the government, it could be time to
worry. Meanwhile, hundreds of children have been referred to a
UK Government D radicalization programme in the last four
years. Wow.
We used to used to just send your kid to summer camp. This is
where he was. He was a brat. You know, should he ask kid? Now
this?
Yeah, this is great.
Not really.
What do you mean? You don't like the times? Damn, but you don't
trust the BBC. Wow, this is bad. Yeah. Especially for some of our
listeners. We have a lot of high schoolers and we do kids we do.
We then got a clue.
I'm surprised we have a lot of listeners in Saskatchewan.
Right because they know how I feel about Saskatchewan.
I have no feelings in one way.
Saskatchewan has got to be the only province I haven't been to.
Well, I haven't been to northern territories. But whichever
they're called now. They keep changing the name. But
Saskatchewan because the Saskatoon is the Paris of the
isn't Regina around there? No, it
rhymes with a stunning act of violence snuffed out four lives
today in a remote Saskatchewan community. A gunman opened fire
in two locations. One of them the local high school. The
painful details are still emerging. But what is already
clear it is one of the deadliest school shootings in Canadian
history. Wow. Yeah. They're all these
gun laws. They got all kinds of gun controls in Canada. They
can't have something like this happen. It's not possible.
Maybe that's not what we're hearing so much about it.
Oh, yes. On the neck guy. I wonder if I've heard about this.
Yeah. And I got a little ask Adam thing here. It's not ask
Adams officially. So it's just a small thing. So we don't need
the jingle. No, I've got this. I'd like a jingle for this.
Somebody's got to do this. So this is another one of the
what's wrong with this reporting segment.
We don't have a jingle for that. What's wrong with this
reporting?
Harold and Bertha Coombs were their names survived by an adult
daughter. We're told visited often Petaluma police say Bertha
Coombs is the city's first homicide of the year. Frank
that's after none all of last year.
Deborah I have to say what struck me here was when you said
that on average there are 10 murder suicides per week among
elderly 20
people I know that numbers surprised me as well and with
the population ageing and depression on the rise they are
seeing that number climb steadily
yeah Deb reveal on reporting for us live tonight Deborah Thank
you
Okay, first of all, he said 10 She said 20 I think
well there was a couple's it was 10 couples 20 people maybe I
should listen to it again. No, no, no, don't listen to it
again. I made a mistake. The thing that was wrong with that
report as I listened to it this time I heard the thing that I
didn't hear the first time so just a complete screw up an epic
fail
well, then we need to put what are we gonna do now? Oh, we
should probably hype it up a bit. Let's make it fun for him
to do so. Man maybe we should do a Haiti then instead.
Let's play the Haiti clip and then we can do the Clinton
versus Sanders wrap. Okay,
I have a I have a Haiti clip here and maybe we play the clip.
Okay, here we go.
protesters marched through the streets of Port au Prince again
on Saturday, as they called on outgoing President Michel
Martelly to step down. The protests come one day after
officials cancelled Sunday scheduled presidential runoff
and election opposition politician say was marred by
fraud. Opponents are vowing to keep up the pressure until
President Martel Lee resigned
day you demonstrations will continue until the people are
satisfied with their demands that President Martelly leaves
on February 7, then we will reform the electoral council and
organise elections with the majority that people can trust
and then the protests will stop
the demonstrators believe Martelly has unfairly favoured
banana exporters. Now muise Despite the protest mui says he
will not abandon his candidacy.
People who went out and voted for the banana man number five
in the pH T cage of banana man on October 25. I asked them to
continue to trust in me because I will not let them down. I will
not betray them and I will not back down.
He may need an interim body to organise the next election but
the government and opposition leaders may find it difficult to
agree on who would lead such an administration.
That was the Clinton second pick. The first guy they brought
in got rousted right away because she was acting like an
aihole jetting around everywhere then it got sweet Mickey
Martelli and people they end you got to be careful the Haitians
have a history. And screw it. So what next? The blue helmets? I'm
sure the UN is still there.
Yeah, they got probably bringing in new
cholera. Cholera. I feel so bad for Haiti. Then I want to thank
our epic beer people for getting a couple bottles to me here in
Austin. Of the no agenda.
Epic no urundai ale Yeah, fabulous. That's outstanding
beer in fact, it was apparently they hit a kind of good formula
and they're selling it in Australia now. Oh,
great. The app to our beer the no agenda our beer Fanta
was not our their beer but it's it's an homage to to the show.
It is
that's all I got really.
I want to do the Clinton Sanders round. Yeah. To get the last
piece of information out of here.
Okay, claim we're getting closer. Yeah, we are. Well, when
one of the primaries is next week, I
said seven days, eight days, something like that shortly. So
that was that's the it's not they're not going to be doing
that like prior to this. The caucuses? caucuses. Right. And
what happens in the caucuses? They sit around a smoke cigars
and then they decided who the who they're gonna get
support to it's American politics. It's supposed to work.
But tonight
she also turned up the heat on Bernie Sanders.
Do you believe the American people are ready to elect a
socialist as President of the United States?
It's up to the voters. I know a number of Democrats, people who
I highly respect are concerned and are expressing that concern
to me to journalists and others from Sanders
today. Confidence.
We do well in both of those states. I think my friends, we
are looking at one of the great political upsets in the history
of the United States of America.
The Vermont senator also dropping this ad, a Simon and
Garfunkel throwback to the song America Wow. And Bernie Sanders
just now came out swinging saying in a statement quote,
Clinton's lead is evaporating here in Iowa and we understand
why her campaign is panicking. David the gloves are off in this
race gloves off
with 11 days to go Celia Thank you.
Hey, what's wrong with Bernie Sanders? Hello 1970 We want to
campaign song back. Simon and Garfunkel seriously? What an
idiot. You got Big Mike who's who's promoting you and you're
gonna play Simon and Garfunkel as your as your campaign song?
Yeah, yeah. For the for the Iowans, I guess Yeah. Come on to
true true true true true. All right, well,
anything I can I was not gonna fly.
Anything coming up. Today on the on the tube we're gonna watch
some games football
games are probably the leading to the Super Bowl, which will be
in two weeks and I'd say they will only event you really want
to deal with you want to talk about sports. It will be the
basketball game on Monday, between the San Antonio Spurs in
San Antonio against the Golden State Warriors. Everybody has
been waiting for this game because these are the two best
teams in basketball. And the both teams win at home all the
time. And this will be the biggest challenge for the
Warriors are not expected to win by any of the experts. And they
could get a good deal will shake things up if they do. All right.
I'm sorry. I asked actually. Hey, we're back on Thursday.
Coming to you from the skyscraper here in downtown
Austin, the capital of the drone Star State FEMA Region six in
the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley Way too much information
apparently once in a while.
And we'll be back on Thursday right here on no agenda
stuff you would hear in the news
there would be regular days where people did not go outside.
Just because he qualified to be commander in chief,
well, you know that's going to be a determination that the
American people are making. I would suggest that the next
commander in chief instead of leaving or dialling by the daily
polls and by the latest Twitter store should focus on
identifying our end May's listening to the expert advice
of generals and admirals on national security exports and
doing whatever is necessary to keep this country safe
you have to figure out a way what do we do here and you're
right. We've got to get some jobs. Jobs. Jobs, jobs, jobs.
Jobs to job to job to job to job to job to job to job to job to
job we and we will be committed
we must we must and we will
be committed we must we must we will be committed we must we
will be coming man I know we might we must we will we will be
committed gotta get two jobs.
Two jobs, two jobs and we will watch this will last we will
talk with you
