From the richest people to the poorest, from the right to the
left from sea to shining sea. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, July 9 2017. This is your award winning get my nation
media assassination episode Niner four, five
this is no agenda.
Second on the EU Data straw man broadcasting live from the
darkest corners of the earth in the capital of a nation Parmesan
in Rome in the morning. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where Twitter keeps asking me to
follow Sarah Silverman why. And John C. Dvorak.
Raglan Buzzkill.
That is concerning. All the things I've heard today.
Yeah, every time I go to Twitter's here's who you should
follow. And she's right at the top guys. Why? Don't know
why the algo man, the elk all knowing algo Well, I'm here in
Rome, John.
So are you roaming around?
Yeah, data roaming around
to how you do Oh, that's right. Let's start with that. He
really it's really, it's bad. If you were
complaining bitterly on your Twitter account for hours,
issues that you had and my favorite tweet was really made
me laugh actually laugh was they won't let me buy? In other
words, they won't take your money. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That you
buy another gigabit byte of data until July 30. Yes.
Date? Yeah. Why?
What is the here's my money. No, no, no, no. We don't want your
money.
Kind of have to give you the whole rundown for you to fully
appreciate what I've been going through. Okay, and know that I
almost considered just giving up it was very, very close. That is
good. That has never happened. I am finally and I want you to put
this never happen. Let's let's just use this one word because
if you ever come to Italy, this is a word you will end you're
looking for data. This is a word you will hate Jigga
you need to buy a gigabyte. Yeah,
no, no, it's not gigabyte is jiggers how many jika jika jika
jika jika jika jika jika jika jika is Giygas. You will come to
hear you will come to hate this word. Okay, here we go. Fully
aware that there could be issues in Italy with and France of
course but in Italy with data. We were reasonably prepared. We
had the ex con global which is a global Wi Fi hotspot. As you
know that already crapped out in Amsterdam, but we got it to work
again in Amsterdam, that we had my sprint with 4g LTE high speed
international data. Tina Marie's I T Mobile she has sprint I have
T Mobile she has sprint. Also paying for 4g LTE international
roaming data. We that says that's three networks. The
Airbnb that we were in, has a wired internet. And but based on
my request, the host also had a Vodafone my five 4g LTE hotspot.
So I'm counting five networks.
We've got all the networks, it seems or at least many of them
are good many a good many.
So the what is it the global the X com global, that crapped out
after about 100 megabits of megabytes of data. And this is
the second time this has happened. And I contacted them
and they said, Well, you know, it's this is, you know, we told
you in the fine print that you know, you really have to be very
careful because we don't control what the other upwards the what
our roaming partners do. And but you know, 200 megabytes for an
unlimited unlimited global 4g LTE is not quite unlimited.
Yeah, so I call them yeah, we're sorry, we'll have to contact
them. It takes 12 hours on a weekday. But we'll have to wait
until Monday before we can even start to think about that. Okay,
the the now wired internet in Italy I knew was a problem and
it's it's really, really bad. I mean, it's spotty. It craps out.
It's it's pretty much ADSL What I can see from what I see here
and that I was not getting connections was dropping packets
very frustrating. So we forget that my T Mobile in both T
Mobile and Tina's sprint, clocked in at the 4g LTE
broadband speed of 128 kilobits per second and you can see that
it's being limited. If you use the you know, the speed test
app, the minute you hit the app, it goes to be a break for a
second you can see it go to you know, like 30 gigas 30 gigabits,
and then it immediately goes down to 0.09. Now, they might it
might peak out at 0.1. So that's pretty much 128 kilobits. So I
call up T Mobile. Now, this is all before I do that, the
Vodafone hotspot, which which Francesco our Airbnb host had
had left behind him very kind of him. This was kind of working, I
was getting about four megabits per second. Down and about two
megabits per second up not ideal at all, but certainly usable for
you know, we can do the show with that we've done we've done
it on speeds like that. I'm just checking. Are you still with me,
John?
Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah. Never No.
No, we were very, you know, using this very sparingly, just
in case you know, we weren't we, I think we uploaded two
pictures. And we weren't even doing email didn't connect any
laptops, you know, I've been around the block a few times.
And, and all of a sudden, it stops working. And this is last
night, around midnight, we went to bed and like, Okay, I'm just
going to just check the terminal doesn't miss it turned the
hotspot on that and I'm like, Okay, let's just make sure this
is working because it Godspeed, and it doesn't work. And I'm
looking and now he's a subscriber to Vodafone. So when
you connect to the account information, it's in Italian.
And so I'm connected to the I've connected to the MiFi that his
Oh, I can talk to I can't I can't, you know, go to Google to
get a translate because I have no connection. But I can see in
Italian that it's telling me you've used up you've used up
your seven Giygas for this month. Okay, great. I'd like to
purchase with the word is Rick, what is the word? The word is
Riccati. cabling, I think means recharge. So I like to recharge.
No, no, no, no, no, you can't you can't recharge until the
last day of July. But you can get SOS data. For five euros.
You can get one. One Jigga for five euros. That's all that's
available to you, sir. Okay, so I get my buy one Jigga for five
euros. And it's very clear been the one once you kind of get
into the right area. Once you figure out where you're supposed
to be in this interface in Italian, you can kind of
understand what's going on. And it's clear, you cannot buy any
additional data. He only had seven gigabytes Giygas per
month. Yeah, he doesn't know. I mean, I wasn't thinking about
you know, I just wasn't thinking about the what his because he's
subscribers not prepaid or anything. So absolutely not
possible. I check with him. He says, No, I can change the
accounts. I'm happy to do that for you. But I can't do that
until Monday. And I'd have to do he'd have to upgrade his account
to something else. And he says indeed, they will not take your
money. So I'm going to use this one Jigga to get online and try
and figure out what's going on and hopefully get my T Mobile or
Tina's sprint working. T Mobile is, you know, it's pretty much
flatlining, the, you know, at 128 kilobits per second, the
speed test app will fail. It says too much latency can't even
do it. So I call up T Mobile, who the first thing they say is
Oh, Mr. Curry, you're on a grandfathered plan here, Japan
twice as much than you have to. Hey, thanks for telling me. Can
you get me my high speed data that I'm paying for?
That Well, of course you know, all these all these
telecommunications companies pull that stunt? Everybody from
what I can tell, I know that if I went to Comcast and started
pitching I would get my price down. Right? Well, you're all
you're all all Oh.
And by the way, thanks for making me feel old. The age is
bricks. grand grand for Gramps. Alright, so I feel good. All
right. That's it. That's okay. You know? Well, why don't I do
that for you? Why don't you not change anything? Let's just
figure out what's going on. Oh, it doesn't matter because We
can't change it now anyway, because your billing cycle
doesn't start until fine. Let's work on this. Okay, so this is
level one support, and I have no problem with dudes and dudettes
named Ben and Bernadette. I know, they're not to blame,
necessarily. So I was very, I was nothing but courteous. Okay,
let's get this going. Well, yeah, we're seeing Yeah,
usually, I mean, we have coverage, and you have all three
networks that are roaming partners. So this should not be
an issue. But let's go through the steps. Now. Can you guess
what step number one is on the list of checking to make sure
that you get your high speed 4g LTE data, jiggle the handle very
close? Please go into your iPhone and delete all your
website history and cash. This is not something I prefer to do.
In fact, it actually is counterintuitive, because
anything. Sorry,
why? Am I Oh,
no, hold on a second. I said, it makes this has nothing to do
with speed. Absolutely nothing at all. I don't like doing this.
Because if I get my connection backup, it's going to be read
downloading images and all kinds of other crap that I've already
have stored. And you know, that makes no sense for me or you and
your network. Okay, well, you don't have to do it. But if it
doesn't work, then you know, I can't help you. You have to go
through this step. Yeah.
So I you could have just said you did?
Yeah, John. But you know, now we're It's quarter to one. And I
want to do the show. And I really just want to I want to
make sure we get this done. So do all that go through
everything? Well, you know, you have to restart reset your
network settings, all of this stuff, then, and when your phone
comes back on, I'll call you back. Yeah. And to be fair, she
did call me back. And of course, there's no difference. It's
exactly the same. Well, then, sorry.
I said of course.
Yeah. And we'll send you over to, you know, a top level tech
support. All right. 10 minutes later, okay. Yeah, well, Oh, Mr.
Curry. Yeah, we're gonna help you out here. Please let me
verify your identity all over again.
And there's another little good, that's something that peeve of
mine. You call one of the all of them. You call and give us your
phone number. Give us your you know,
social security number? Yeah.
All this stuff. And then you go to the next level. And then they
say, What's your phone number? What's your last four letters? I
just gave it to you. I'm calling from somebody. Yeah, exactly.
And you no matter what you do, apparently there's nothing no
way of there's no computer with the screen that says what you
already have done. Right.
So we go through this. And all right, I have all these
different began network settings. And I've already done
all this, but okay, I'll be patient. And then Okay, now, now
you have to restart your phone, I will call you back in 15
minutes. Okay. So do that. And it's interesting, because when
you delete your settings, and the phone comes back on, and you
have to remember to turn on your roaming data. So I do all that
and it's 128 kilobits. 20 minutes later, the phone rings.
Uh, hi, Scott. Yeah, no, I hope you're calling for Adam. Okay.
Please tell me you're calling for Adam. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah,
that confusion? Fine. Okay. Well, we've,
yeah, at this point, I'm almost convinced there's a script
that says Scott right there.
There's a script for all of this. Oh, of course. It's all.
Yeah, I'll call you back in 15 minutes. Hey, Bill, you have the
new script. Yeah, use the name, Scott.
Exactly. Exactly. Let me get my pen and paper and
write. So it's clear. It's not going to work? Well.
Unfortunately, Mr. Curry, we have to talk to our roaming
partners. This has to go at a different level. Because it's
something on their network. And I totally believe that we can't
do anything about it. It'll take a minimum of three days.
Well, this by the way, they knew this from the beginning. There's
not this is not like some all of a sudden some shocking
revelation. Well, this is this when they first talked to you
they knew this. You think so?
But let me let me go through the whole process and the steps that
I that I went through. So now I'm I'm kind of freaking out
because you know, now it's 230 in the morning. Then I you know,
I don't know how I'm gonna do the show. This is this There's
going to be a problem. And I'm now I'm kind of irritated. So I
tweet at John Luxaire, the CEO of T Mobile. And I attach a
picture that you know, of the, of the text message I receive,
which I will read to you. The text message was really nice. It
says, Thank you for being a valued T Mobile customer trouble
ticket 16711104 has been opened on your account, please allow
three business days for teams to review resolution can take
longer depending on an issue. And thank you for being a valued
T Mobile customer. So I tweet John Luxaire the CEO. Yeah, I
feel really effing valued right now. And I mean, and now Now,
here's what happens. Hi, I'm Fred. I'm with the T Mobile
social team. Literally DM me, I help you
out.
So, you know, IDM, the guy said, Look, man, I know, I know, your
job is I've been through everything. You can't change a
single thing here. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna help and now.
And of course, it's because I tweeted the CEO. And then he
says, well, I need to verify that your your your account,
could you please install this T Mobile help app. Now, it's not
an app you install on your phone. It's an app that talks to
that, that you install on Twitter. And this app
permissions to read everything including my password, all my
DMs, anything in my they can't change it, but they can read
everything. Why? Thank you. I do it. Because the show I do it, I
do it. And dedication. And then I get a different T Mobile
person. And yet we're looking into your account and I give
them all the info heard nothing back. So I then you know, go
then now I'm on a tirade, and I'm like, eff this. You know,
this is you're lying. Your partners are full of crap.
They're they're throttling you. And when you if you go and look,
if you do search online, and you try and find people who have
data issues, everyone has this and it's not just T Mobile, it's
sprint is a TNT and I'm sure it's the holidays vacation and
everybody's roaming around and these networks in Italy at least
it just they just the throttling everybody. And and I kind of
understand why but that's, you know, net neutrality perhaps. So
boom, that's, that's just out of the question. I will say that
then I start to get DMS from John Luxaire. Wet well from his
account, I don't know if it's him or not. seems unlikely.
seems unlikely. Yeah, buddy. I want to pass this on to our
executive team and was pretty rude. So I said, Hey, man, if
it's really you, I appreciate it that you're even even trying.
Now comes the next part. Okay. Maybe I can find a prepaid setup
that I can just buy locally and just use it I mean, that maybe I
should have started there. But I thought four or five networks
would be enough. And by the way, the guy who I've had the block
on Twitter for saying you should have been prepared.
More prepared you could have been the guy well, let's start
let's start with that guy. That guy you got this crazy device is
X com whatever it is ex convicts.
It's just an it's just an unlocked Wi Fi device is not
nothing. Yes,
a Wi Fi hotspot, you have the MiFi Yes, the phone you have all
these phones, which are all they're all phones that you can
link to
hotspot hotspots. Yeah.
And you called all the vendors to tell me you're going to be
overseas roaming and I
paid for it. We paid for it and we paid for it. You paid for it
which you
get you should get a refund by the way you paid for this which
you should get a refund for. Wow, more. Can you be proud much
more? Can you be prepared?
You know, people these days, certainly on social networks is
no different from any community online. Everyone's a comedian.
Everyone's funny. Everyone knows the best everyone knows is
better. But here's something that's very concerning. So I've
just I just want to figure it out. So I start searching. Now
I'm now down to about 200 megabytes left on my on my one
Jigga Vodafone. Now, I defy anyone to find anything of use,
thanks to SEO when it comes to this problem. I've written
columns about this. I know you have this is why I bring it up.
And you'll find blog posts after blog post. Here's what to do
five tips roaming in Italy. Here's how you do it. And
they're all fucking ads. They're all fucking ads. Sorry, I won't
do it anymore. They're all just native ads, the first five
pages. Oh, but then of course, you'll get one or two of the
Italian telecoms with great offers to Giygas to Jigga 20
euro to Giygas. Let me tell you something, I need about 20
Giygas in order to prep and do the show. I know what it is
because I have you know, I know what it is. I do this a lot. So
I know how much data I need. And two Giygas is not going to get
me very far. But you know what, maybe I can buy 10 of them. And
you know, and you know, I'll edit the show, you know, if it
craps out, we'll put in the next car and go to the next. This is
how I think, Man, this is what I do for the show. Uh, okay, we
can I can do this. Now you have Tim, which is Telecom Italia
mobile, then you have wins. You have Vodafone and you have
something else called Three, I think or whatever. I don't
remember what it is. You have to understand that pretty much.
Google is also telling me that pretty much everything is closed
on Sunday. If you want to find a telco
Great, that's a great thing about Europe.
So I get up. I sleep for about four and a half hours I get up I
call Willa because I'm not going to call her in the middle of the
night. I have a sister here. He knows she knows what's going on.
Willa. Willa goes, oh boy. She says she says Oh boy said let's
start with Vodafone says Now it's the best one Vodafone. And
it's absolutely true. There's no way you can get the account
upgraded. But it certainly won't start until tomorrow. And it may
be a few you know, like another day in addition for them to
provision it, etcetera. Okay, this is this is not going to
work. Willow goes and she's going crazy try and you will as
a technologist. So then she speaks Italian she understands
the issue. So she's working on she calls me back. All right.
Oh, by the way, at this point, My Vodafone data has expired.
So, you know, now, you know, we're talking on crappy cell
phone connections. She said okay, I've I found one store
that's open. It's the winds stored they'll be ins. That's
it. That's a mobile virtual network operator. So it's just
one of those outfits, one of those little stores in the in
the, in the street amps that I talked to them. And you can get
20 Giygas. And, and I talked to them, and you can go there right
now and they'll take care of I'm like, Oh my God, Your God said.
So it's about a 15 minute walk. I go there walk in the store.
These guys. First of all, the three people and I again, I have
compassion, but they're assholes. They just sit by.
Yeah, I said yeah, I'd like the 20 Giygas na na na to jagah to
Giygas. Not I my sister called me. And no to Giygas Okay, hold
on one second by call Willa, Willa.
Middle East some bizarre this is I'm in Goshi ating over a pig.
This is a this is a pretty accurate description. So we'll
get on the phone all here. Why don't we send your avatar to
Jake doe? And then we'll assess. Yeah, ma'am. Sorry. The it's
bullcrap. You can only get the 20 Giygas. If you are a citizen,
have a residence. Have a bill with your address on it. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. So I say to the guy.
Oh, wait a minute. Let me get this straight. You have another
operation that for all practical purposes. Won't take your money.
Correct? Yes, but it gets us want to make sure that's clear.
It gets better. This is a great business opportunity here. They
won't take your money. Okay, great. No jiggles
for you. So I say hey, you know what? That's okay, man. It's no
problem. Can I have 10 of the two Jigga cards? No. Hold on.
Why not? Hey, wait, they so they won't take your money at that
level? either.
I'll tell you why. One cod, one document. document. This
document. What are you talking about? Passport? Oh, okay.
Exactly my passport? No, no one card one document. But what if I
want to two documents? So Tina is with me. So, okay, I can get
two cards with two separate passports and say why is this
terrorism? Ah, I see. The you have to register everything and
you can only get one SIM card per document. And now I know I
have four Giygas oh, by the way, take three a five hour before
it'll be provisioned, because they're a mobile, their mobile
virtual network operator, like okay, and now it's noon. So this
is six hours ago. So okay, fine. I'll take it. I'll do whatever I
can. I'll take whatever I can get. Maybe I can find somebody
with a passport. I'm just like, so and then what I see next to
the wind store is Tim. That's the Telecom Italia mobile. They
go in there. Now it's exact. It's right there right next to
each other. And there's a young woman and she has client, what
is it? Oh, man, it was like, cuz Oh, client coach is her badge
client coach. And she speaks reasonable English. And she's
kind of happy and bouncy. And next to her is her her colleague
of the he speaks pretty much no English. Yeah, really nice. And
but I'm standing there. And there's five people in front of
me. So this is 45 minutes. And just to give you an idea of how
crazy some of this stuff is, there's a father in front of me.
And he's American. And he is clearly trying to get some data
for his daughter's iPhone. This taking a long time. They're
going through all this rigmarole and his passports and then
paperwork. And then finally, I think it's working. His 15 Maybe
15 six year old daughter walks in. And she is so big. I can
understand you went to Italy on vacation, and the phone wasn't
working. John, she was so happy that her phone was so she was
shaking like a junkie. She had her phone she's an Instagram
shaking like a junkie. Insane. All right, so it's finally my
turn. So what do you have? Yes, we have 30 Giygas for 40 Euro
says Fantastic. Thank you so much. Yeah, so But hold on.
We're not done yet.
We're not done you better start wrapping it because it's getting
almost there. But then, you know, while I'm getting my
passport, she starts helping someone else rudely. And then
you know I'm dealing with the other guy his terminal goes down
his love he's working and then she finishes up with the
customer and she just helped three more PCs excuse me, Nana
So dude, would you get on her terminal please now none of that
long story short another 50 minutes goes by and you know at
a certain point she just walks out and you know kissing her
friend and hanging out and whatever they finally get it all
done. Okay we're ready to go any any pops out the SIM card and I
see him going to pop out the micro sim I said NO NO NO NO NO
NO because this this XCOM global is you know as it uses the old
the older big SIM card the guy starts giving me shit this is
all you need to throw it out and he put the fucking micro SIM in
there and now we have to take it out with a needle because it's
stuck in there and
around three whoa How did you How come you're on line at all?
Well I'm just telling you that after all that was finally
became we finally got the new SIM card on the not the micro
sim put it in and it's it's fantastic it's 3030 gigas per
size 30 gigabits per second
and you know I look at my use night it's not running at 30
gigas just that that's not what your speed of course not.
And yeah, that was right so I probably used about six just for
prep and will probably be about 15 By the time the show's
uploaded.
I don't you know who this is from that one company I forget
the name of already that Tim Telecom Italia Tim is the one
you want to go domain to summarize. Yes. Tim,
Tim, that and please note that you can only get one back could
not get to Tina had already gone back you cannot get to without
two passports they put it into the system. It's you know, they
make a copy of your passport they put in the system and I
looked this up this is these are regulations now that have been
implemented since 2009. You know, and actually EU regulation
and I tweeted out I said you know it's almost as hard to get
a prepaid card here as it is to get a firearm. You should see
the a hole a holes in your that's not true then fine. It is
true. Anyway, we're online very, very happy to be on and if
everything As well, we should be able to finish the show. So
indeed, if you are in Italy, Tim is the way to go. The
provisioning is instantaneous, because it's their network,
obviously. So it's been it's been very harrowing and an a
tough ride, tough ride.
Well, I can now say, I'm sorry, I asked,
Oh, it's important. Things are important for our listeners who
travel around
talking about traveling around, trying to think of what clips to
start with, but after this thing is hair raising story. Wood and
you sound good, and
it sounds great. I know, once you once you're hooked up is
great. And considering how much I paid at least 100 bucks to T
Mobile, at least 50 bucks for Sprint 100 And
I'm gonna say it again. You should demand your money back.
I'm gonna do all that. I mean, that's not the most important
thing. The show was the most important thing, I think, to me.
So there's a story that came, you know, talking about
connectivity. I want you to listen to this story. This is
about a prison escape is not normally something we'd cover.
But I think this is worth covering because it ended up the
guy ended up in Austin, which I think is guys I've heard of it.
Yeah. I can't see. Well, let's play this story. This person
escaped. I have this prison escape dubious clip of one.
Hey, South Carolina prison employees out of a job today
after an inmate escaped and took authorities on a 1200 mile
Chase. Jim Kazi was serving a life sentence at the LIBOR
Correctional Institute, before making a high tech prison break
on Independence Day. Tony Jacopo has a story.
Convicted kidnapper turned fugitive Jimmy cause he checked
into this Motel Six near Austin, Texas late Thursday, falling
asleep three long days after he broke out of a maximum security
prison in South Carolina.
We believe a cellphone was used to facilitate and give this
inmate the resources to escape. We also potentially believe that
a drone was used to help him get the contraband and to
escape. Oh Brian Sterling, the director of the South Carolina
Department of Corrections believes the drone delivered
wire cutters which caused the US to slip for fences on the
evening of July 4. He left a dummy in his cell to confuse
authorities. Long couple days for the department but at about
3am on Friday as causes news, Texas Rangers and federal
authorities moved in, including Deputy US Marshal Brandon Fila
Motel Six left the light on, you know and helped us out.
Authorities found
Causey with a shotgun a handgun for cell phones a South Carolina
ID and $47,000 in cash. Cause he escaped once before in 2005
After hiding in a garbage truck, but it's newer technology like
drones and cell phones that have authorities worried. Drone.
Good one. Okay. This guy leaves from South Carolina. He ends up
in a Motel Six in Austin, Texas. Yeah, I mean, this guy, and he's
escaped before. He's one of those guys. And I liked I liked
the native ad. They left the light on that was good. Yeah, I
saw that. Yeah, I heard that too. The CBS CBS has covered a
lot of problems as usual. I mean, I have some clips later in
the show, which indicates you know, they this is their, you
know, kind of presentation with the interesting facts out, for
example, that that piece started with the prison guard is now out
of a job but then they go on with the story. What who? Why,
what? What about this prison guard out of a job? Why did the
prison guard fly the drone? I don't we don't find any of this
out.
And we don't even know if that's really true. That just that's
probably just a throwaway line they put in there.
Maybe maybe not. You don't know. I don't know. But I'll tell you
this much. This guy has been chipped. Ah, he doesn't know it
but he's been chipped. There is no
way that they find him in a Motel Six and Austin from
in Austin from South Carolina. This you'd have to and they all
do well. Unless did he have the cell phone with him?
But he have three cell phones. They said he had three cell
phones if we were to get all that money. Well there's a lot
of craziness in this story and talking about his money if you
have free get the money we're getting
here $47,000 Why Motel Six
I know a lot of questions that are unanswered in the story,
obviously, but I think he's absolutely convinced he's been
chipped because his gang broke away once Yeah, what do you
doing? You got your gotta go on for a medical thing. You know,
you gotta be checked out and they knows what they did doing
but they did something. There's no way this guy's gonna get
caught that quickly. Just not possible. Hey, hello jack on
him.
Well, we do live in a surveillance state. I don't know
if anything's possible. I wouldn't put the chip past
anything I'd like to theory,
like the theory to and I think a lot of prisoners have been
shipped. And why not you're just checking the hell with it. Now
there's a part two to this, which is kind of interesting
which, which has nothing to do with the basic story. It's just
some commentary at the end. That is, to me extremely, extremely
questionable and it kind of relates to your little episode
here in Italy
causes back to South Carolina to face new charges. The governor
of South Carolina, meanwhile, is demanding permission to jam sell
signals
at all prisons. And is the Federal Communications
Commission granting and not so far under a decade's
old law. They say only federal agencies have that permission
and sell companies themselves say they don't want to change
because it will weaken their networks. A couple Thank you
off net neutrality,
which by the way, the end, she goes, Wow. Wow, did you hear
that? I'm sorry. I
stepped on over here. I love Wow. Wow.
Ah, because it will weaken their networks. Wow.
Thank you. Wow.
Wow. The network. Wow.
How's it going to weaken the network?
Another unexplained factoid from CBS me. I'm asking you. I
mean, maybe I don't know. You got through enough rigmarole?
You could explain it. I don't know. Man. I'm so used use you
put a a jammer? Yeah. In the vicinity of the place and this
thing? You know, these things are obtainable? Yeah. And so you
get the jammer work. And and so it's going to weaken the
network? How's it going to weaken the network? It's only a
local device. The only jams are within a range to get a range.
But I really don't know. And it's just I just to me, it's
just as like bad reporting. Of course, you couldn't really
explain any of this. And they're not going to have a chip in the
guy. That's for sure. But anyway, I just found a very, I
get very annoyed by just a few of the CBS report. Yeah,
I did have a pretty good time following the G 20. While we
were here,
that I have a couple of G 20 backgrounders. But what have you
heard that, that? And then maybe I'm thinking I should play his
background is because I don't think what you're hearing is
what we're hearing.
I'm sure it isn't. So I'd love to hear what you're hearing. And
then I can pass on some of the things I'm hearing
like it because what we're hearing mostly, and it's just
like, I might want to do this backwards. Playing the stuff
that I would put at the end of this report, including they had
this woman roots the I can't remember her last name, but
she's it's like
Inception.
Yeah, it's gonna go backwards. Ruth took over from shields with
the Shields and Brooks thing. And she's a WaPo. Writer, a
wobble wobble. And as he wears this thing,
I like how you not only did you want to do the clips backwards,
but you even said Shields and Brooks. I mean, that was very,
very subtle.
A very solid.
So it was subconscious. But it just was very subtle. So here is
Ruth from the WaPo. She's substituting for shields, and
we're gonna we're not going to talk about the handshake. Oh,
yes. between Putin and Trump. And here's what here's her take
on it. And if this isn't the most bigoted thing you've ever
heard, and lacks objectivity to an extreme, maybe you can find a
better example. Okay, I just need to mirror to WaPo
substitute for shields
that reach ri g 20. That one? Yeah. Okay.
Long meeting a lot of questions. And normal is not the way I
would describe it. And I think I should start by the way,
President Trump started with Vladimir Putin, which is it's an
honor to be here with both of you. That is a true honor for
iPad for President Trump to say, and I understand we have
diplomatic niceties. It is not an honor to be with someone who
has attacked and jailed dissidents and killed dissidents
in his country who has invaded other countries. And who has
tried to interfere in an American election. And I think
that simply to accept that, Oh, it's great. At least he raised
the question of Russian interference, but we don't know
and never will probably, precisely what he said is really
defining the presidency down. That that should have been a
given that he was going to raise that and that he that wasn't a
given. They'd left us on tenterhooks, and that the day
before, he was still saying, well, nobody really knows for
sure what happened and seemed more eager to blame President
Obama for not doing enough to question whether the
intelligence community gets it right to tweet today about John
Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman and say, Why
didn't he turn over the server just really underscores to me,
the abnormality
I think is it tender hooks, Tinder hooks or tinter hooks.
I'm not quite sure what she said.
She said, Tinder hooks. I'm not sure what the right word is
because I never use it. But I've heard it people use it move on
to Demi's we're already on edge. I noticed when Trump was going
to ask him about the election so I found that this to be one of
the most bigoted things I've ever heard on by anybody on the
PBS NewsHour, she's just goes after Well, I see all kinds of
assertions that are not unproven and, and all Trump said was him
it's an honor to meet you. Was it the head of a Giant Country
and he's she says it's an honor to meet you. That's a big deal.
Oh, my God. He said it's an honor and it's not that guy's a
murderer.
You see this video that someone tweeted us from this big dilla
victim? about the about the handshake in the meeting? You
must not have seen this. I mean, is it
the girl that goes nuts? Yeah. Oh, I have the clip.
I have it. I'm cute up so I play.
Yes, first of all, okay, play it now. Did you? Did you cut it
down? Because it really needs there's a lot of white space in
there. Like it's just played?
Well? Well, I will say probably what you thought too, is I have
a feeling of maybe hoax. Did you get it? Forget definitely.
Feeling it's the obvious hoax, then we don't have to play it,
then it's fine. No, we should play because it's a highly
entertaining. I
just it's absolutely ruined. I get up. And I go and turn on the
news. First thing I see. First thing I see is Trump, not my
President Trump shaking Vladimir Putin's hand. And I'm like, Wow.
You know, I mean, and then, and then to top it off, Trump, not
my president taps. Putin on the back. It's like a tap, you know?
And I'm like, there is your collusion people. Like if you
can't, if you can't see that seriously, if you can't see
that. There's something wrong with you. There's something
seriously wrong with you. I mean, I used to be an
investigative journalist because I and then, and then, like,
Trump, the President was looking at Putin. And he started
blinking. He was blinking at him. And then Putin looked back
at Trump. And he was blinking at Trump. And they were like, both
stated, they're blinking at each other. It was like, Oh my gosh,
it's like, Morse code. They're communicating. They're
communicating. They're plotting for 220. And I feel so I feel so
helpless. You know, like, I wish I could stop it. Just my friend,
it's just rude. It's just my whole weekend through it now.
Yeah.
Now here's the second time it's clearly bullcrap. But I thought
it was good. Oh,
maybe the giveaway said her name. I think it needs
translation, but her name is red state rising.
Oh, no, it was I got mama reg too, but maybe I got a different
thing. She got some. Anyway, that was
it's tentar
Ike, but I thought it was authentic. No tender tender.
What is tender? What is the tender a tender hook stems from
a device called the tentar originally large wooden frames
which are used as far back as the 14th century for making
woolen cloth. After a piece of cloth was woven, it had oil from
the fleece and craftsmen had to stretch it out. But you had to
be careful because you could rip it and that's why it's on
tenterhooks which means it's it's a precarious process. And
you have to be very careful otherwise you can ruin the
cloth. That's where it comes from.
Yeah. Oh, okay. Geez, I know wow. I know anyway. Anyway, the
I did have an ISO Do you have the ISO there to come through
because I don't have it on my list.
Actress ruined Friday, but I don't know if that's ISO. Yeah,
no, that's, that's the full version. I don't see the ISO.
That's alright. Obama. Thanks, Obama. I do have another way.
Let's go. Let's go back to this woman that Yes. Was the Brooks
Shields and Brooks with the books and shields? Ruth? Yeah.
So you just have to hear could so they throw it to Brooks, who,
who of course is supposed to represent the other side of the
debate? Oh, gee, let me guess. And of course he doesn't because
he hates Trump, because it's kind of ruined his repertoire of
Trump errs and all his predictions, you know, never
worked out so he's ruined his life or to him. So here's what
so here's what he has to say after Ruth goes through her
thing about how horrible Putin is and and he should is no honor
to meet a man like that. David was using the term honor going
to
you know, I think No normal person would say that. But on
the other hand, you know, I'm willing to give diplomatic
latitude to that.
God, thank you.
Goodness. I'm like, oh, here it is.
Ignore me seriously. Wrong with you.
There you go. That's your ISO.
Yeah. What was that? I can't find it wrong
with you ISO. bottom of the list. There was, but there was a
lot there was the I got one or two US media clips. I have other
stuff. But there was a huge obsession over the Merkel and
Trump handshake. Again, I don't know if you caught any of that.
That was not played. Ah, here, CNN,
you mentioned the awkward moments. In between, we're
showing right now live pictures of protests.
And just let this sink in for a second, please. So I will say
that the handshake between Trump and Putin now, there's no CNN or
Fox here that I could receive. But I have Deutsche availa RT
don't have Skype, BBC, Al Jazeera. Everything but CNN and
Fox. And they all had the handshake close up. Yeah, it was
the it was the image in the background. And there was a lot
they, they weren't talking about it in the way that we heard the
WaPo people nuts. Yes. No, that's not the answer. The
answer is there's something
wrong with you. There's something seriously wrong with
you.
Here's CNN obsessing over the Trump and Merkel handshake. He
you mentioned the awkward moment. And we need to remind
you that when she came to DC, they did shake hands, but not
when the press said sugars. In the Oval Office. In between,
we're showing right now live pictures of protests in Hamburg,
some 10,000 people on the streets, there would have been
largely peaceful protests. But we also saw pictures of the
handshake today between President Trump and the German
Chancellor. And yes, they did shake hands. This is something
that's been pointed out to me, not just on social media, but
directly by some supporters of President Trump. They think, you
know, it's significant. It is notable that the body language
this time that pictures are right now, they know better
different than perhaps we had seen in the initial meetings
between the President and the German chancellor, do you get
the sense that the White House was preparing for this cares
about the optics of the meeting between these two leaders
now pay attention? He's going to say something and the control
room is going to talk in his here in his ear
cares about the optics of the meeting between these two
leaders? Sure. I think the White
House absolutely cares about the optics of this, we've seen
several sort of handshakes go awry. The one that was for the
worst between these two leaders came in the oval office a few
months back when they simply did not shake hands, but in this
instance this afternoon. I'm told that she
I'll do the control arm I don't have my control room thing. I'll
try.
Oh, I'm told that she initiated pretty her in the room. She
initiated this handshake here. So yes, optics always matter. In
this case, I think we'd probably make more of them now in the age
of social media than we used to.
Here but no, they do not say we, we
had social media in his pocket social media, and that is not
them. It's social media. But listen to the obsession
with the awkward moments here, but it's the substance of this
meeting. They have so many disagreements, John that really
will be an issue here for these two countries going forward.
You know, Jeff, we just saw the video again we all can confirm
that. Yes, she did seem to initiate the handshake.
So it's who initiated the hand
stop stop. If you just listened with the guy said there's so
many disagreements they don't even bother discussing the
disagreements and a cut back to the other guy who says oh, we
got to close up and look look look at the handshake what? This
is not important. Who
initiated this she initiated not him she would have
done that really will be an issue here for these two
countries going forward.
You know, Jeff, we just saw the video again we all can confirm
that. Yes, she did seem to initiate the handshake. I
stopped we have confirmation confirmation everybody we got
confirmation she initiated confirmation breaking news.
Breaking news, everybody. We have breaking news in the war in
her hand, went out first outreach, physical outreach,
outreach Germany to the United States. They aren't her
physical outreach from Germany to the United States hands
across America and
confirm that yes, she did seem to initiate the handshake her
hand went out first outreach physical literal outreach from
Germany to the United States
in her her hometown, her home country John so it seems sort of
hospital though that she would be someone to do that. So I
don't find that that
analysis. Yeah. Now I gotta put them since I'm playing Mike.
hips backwards. Yes. Next on the list is something that I can
because I can comment on some CNN stuff that I don't have
recorded, but I do have this and I want you to pay a little
attention. This is a body language expert. And there was a
bunch of them that came on here and never this guy was I believe
on RT. So we know it's going to be it's going to be slanted. But
this is the Trump Putin body language clip. I saw this. I
think that isn't it as the Russian President appeared to
strike a pretty similar facial expression as a fictional
Kremlin boss, Victor Petroff. Body language expert Darren
Stanton broke down for us bit more what all this gesturing
means. There was an interesting interaction between President
Putin and Trump, I thought it was sat around a table and
again, they shake hands. But this time, we noticed President
Trump sort of Pat, President Putin under the under the arm,
which was quite an odd gesture, but that again, is, is a power
gesture, to almost say that, you know, we're here, but I'm still
the powerful man, you know, I'm still the head honcho, so to
speak. So I think, you know, although the two men have got
mutual respect for each other, you know, I think there's this
little Oracle leakage, there's little leakage gestures that I
see between the two men, especially for President Trump,
that he still wants to be seen as very much the, you know, the
top man. And also, I saw some footage with both and obviously
sat side by side. President Trump has got this what we call
reverse steeple gesture, with the hands and that's again,
confidence and dominance. And then we also see, President
Putin with his legs sort of quite spread apart. And again,
that is a very classic dominance.
He's mansplaining. I'm sorry, manspreading. Jesus, I mean, was
there anything discussed people was anything of interest at all?
I
don't know that now. So CNN had their body language on and said
exactly the whatever that guy said. Everything was the
opposite and went like this. Trump put his hand out, but his
hand was on the bottom of the handshake. And, and Putin's was
on the top. This was a sign of submission by Trump can I see in
it and
I just say something about that, because the thing I like about
Trump, he shit he always offers an open hand. That's actually
any body expert body language experts will tell you exactly
the opposite of what that is. That's Vietnam.
That's what CNN says you need submission. And you know, this
guy did say you went and he tapped Putin on the on the under
arm, you know, was you know, a lot of guys, they shake your
hand in a sloppy or whatever. Yeah. And, you know, give me a
slap on the shoulder. So that according to the CNN person,
this guy says a sign of dominance. The CNN person said
it was a sign of submission. And it was it was a sign of giving
Putin the floor. You can have a you can rule me, every single
thing that Trump did, and then they went to the one.
CNN claims Trump as a bottom, that's pretty much what they're
saying. Yes, that's nice. That's nuts.
And so then, the woman is a woman and they go to the
hideaway Trump sits in a chair that we've discussed. Yes. Trump
sits in a chair a certain way because he's fat. Yeah. And he's
covering it up because he sloshes forward. He covers up
his big gut, and he and he said, he puts his hands on his arm.
It's just as a thing.
Although I will say, even though he has the fat guy issue, he is
stopped with the Thai covering he I think Melania finally said,
Yo, dude, you got it. I mean, you're fat. Okay, but we're not
going to be wearing these ties that are 10 feet long.
Well, I thought that tie was still long it's long but
it's not what it was.
Well, yeah, anyway, so he's in there with the fat guy thing and
the woman says that CNN persists This is a sign of total
submission to oh my god, some believable and the other guy of
course this guy said the guy on RT says it's a sign of they're
both trying to be manly, because there's they're both like the
way they're sitting seated and then Trump has his his I guess
it's the Masonic thing he calls it something but Sonic sign
nobody ever says that
it's an Illuminati sign and Merkel doesn't even know naughty
sign. Merkel does it all the time?
Yeah, a lot of people do it. And only the Illuminati on me CNN is
out of control. Yeah,
well they have no rating so who gives a crap? Although having
fun although I'll say to you, I know if you saw this meme going
around. It was like look at CNN ratings there there beneath TLC
and home and gardens you know the house shows and children
programs but if you want and
garden by the way is a buttkicker did most of the cable
channels are Thank you hold the guard but we're really gorgeous.
Yeah,
yeah, we're talking we're talking at 10th even a 10th of a
ratings percent. It's not the absolute numbers, you morons.
You know, people send this to me. Oh, man. I don't know how
ratings work but browse CNN. They work don't ask Thank you.
Thank you. Now I do have some audio of the meeting. I don't
think anybody had the audio of the meeting when they first When
did when the handshake took place? Did you hear what they
were saying?
I can't remember it. Yeah, well, you can't because
your favorite thing happened
is very, very good.
Now listen at the end for the handshake continue.
We look forward to a lot of very positive things happening for
Russia. And for everybody concerned.
Q handshake. Here we go.
Trump apparently said something about it. About the he tweeted
about it a tweet. He says there's two of these to the why
can't they give it what is it? What's the point of all this
noise of all the shutters now I
prove that we're trumped Defense League man shit, I wish you
wouldn't do that.
I know it's ruining our ruining our rep. Yeah, ruin our rep.
Well, here's the only going back boards again, we'll go right to
the beginning, which is the this is the CBS ge 20 miscellaneous
report. A major sorry,
Korean nuclear threat has been hanging over this summit in the
President make any headway they're
not with Russia and there was an open concession that progress
with China so far has been no better than MC Secretary of
State Tillerson said neither country view the North Korean
threat with the same level of urgency as US forcing the
administration to adopt what it calls a campaign of peaceful
pressure when Tillerson conceded will require some degree of
patience.
Margaret, Mr. Trump also met today with the president of
Mexico. That relationship got off to a rocky start. What came
out of today's meeting?
Well, Mexico announced that talks to begin renegotiating
NAFTA will start next month. That's the free trade deal that
President Trump has called unfair. But as you said that the
news is that the meeting happened at all because Pena
Nieto had called off a prior White House visit after
President Trump insisted that Mexico pay for his proposed
border wall asked today about it. Trump said that is
absolutely still the plan.
Major this was the President's second foreign trip. What can we
learn about Trump style diplomacy?
Well, that American security is paramount on economics, that
means a hard line on trade on terrorism. That means more than
just tactics and armies. The President has argued that is
about a will to defend western values, what he calls the best
of Western civilization. And in this regard, he has become far
more comfortable than his recent predecessors with authoritarian
regimes, especially those that spend heavily on US weapons.
before we, before we left Amsterdam, my Hans, he's the
he's the kid I grew up with, when I was like, nine, he was my
neighbor. We grew up together, then I Well, house wasn't my
50th birthday party, but we you know, we really don't see each
other, you know, like, every 10 years or something. And he lives
in Spain and see chess, which is about half an hour south of
Barcelona. And he had not met Tina. So we can how'd you
pronounce that? Barcelona? Pretty good, huh? Yeah, pretty
good, huh? See, cheers to Barcelona. And, and, and so this
is after Thursday show. And we're happy and we're still
sick. You know, we're much better. Thank you for asking.
But we're still kind of sick, and we're leaving the next
morning early. And Oh, awesome. Good to see you. And then I was
waiting for it. He said, Boy, Adam, you've really become right
wing. Like now it doesn't I love Hans and he loves me and I'm not
a problem. And I said, Well, you know, I don't think things are
black and white. Sometimes people are you know, you're not
red or blue or right or left. And that now now you're you're
very right wing and, and then here's the interesting thing.
You know, he's like, he hates Trump hates right wing
Republican, but I guess Republican but Right. Well, he
never used Republican right wing. But then in the same
conversation, he says, gee, I really hope Trump kicks North
Korea's as kicks that he hauls ass. Okay, you hate Trump, but
you want him to kick North Korea's ass, okay. And then he's
like, oh, man, and those cuts Iranians. Those eight holes. I'm
glad we have a right wing government in Spain who are
kicking their ass. I'm like, wow, wow, man. Do you continue
this
dissonance that we talked about on the show and how unhealthy it
is. And amygdala
enlarged amygdala? For sure for sure. And lungs. And it was just
really bizarre. To me. I had one where I had another note here.
I'm Oh, and then the kicker, the kicker said did you see Juncker
in the European Parliament? Yeah, this is the clip that we
played on Thursday, where he said I'm never coming here
again. Concert like Juncker was great. That was so spot on.
Like, wow. I really don't understand how you see that from
exactly the opposite way. said, yeah, the European Parliament
sucks. He can't because they have no power. And you think
these unelected douchebags are the way to go? Yeah, and again,
you know, the the proof that everybody is so freaked about
it's really work this North Korea, theater is really worked
on the Europeans. Very, very interesting to me.
I thought it was interesting in the last report, the last clip,
if you listen carefully, and I bring the bell. They said that
Russia and China don't see North Korea is that much of a threat
that they should get all worked up and do whatever Trump wants
them to do. Exactly. And that, to me is the key element.
Because if you think about it, if North Korea is going to blow
something up, what's the two countries? Two of them that
there's three, including South Korea, that are most likely to
get the feel the damage? Hello, China, China and Russia right
there. There's no distances? Yeah, we're across the Pacific
Ocean.
I got a note a family newsletter from Aunt Meg. And it was their
wedding anniversary. And so they sent a little family email, and
that she talks about Don and the line was, we are outraged by
this President, particularly his stance on North Korea, as Don
has been saying for 20 years, they are not suicidal, they will
not attack us. All they want to do is talk. And to me, I
immediately thought because they're 8788 they had they
watched PBS NewsHour, they watch Shields and Brooks and the WaPo
woman they have this is their information. They read the New
York Times the wall, the Washington Post, this is what
they're getting. And I think it'll be very interesting to see
when I believe Trump will go and talk to North Korea and He'll
calm everything the EFF down
and think that that's a possibility unless of course
he's talked out of it. Yeah, that would be very sucky. Well,
it could be because you know, there's it lives in a business
we're this is a business. The business is to keep everything
on edge so we can sell stuff billions of dollars with a crap
app to North South Korea, and then keep an eye on China from
South Korea. It's all very important.
I do more notes from G 20. Because there's very little
really about policy or you know, not too much about handshakes.
What you were seeing what we saw mostly was riots. We saw all the
riots nonstop every channel just and crazy crazy. Yeah, you got
something for me.
How did they I don't have anything on the riots but I've
watched them the the way that right? There's only one good
descriptor of the rights and I want to know if you if you
caught this one too. And I think it was either on our tea I don't
know what where it came from. But one of the descriptors was
anti capitalist, right? Yes, yes,
yes. Yeah, exactly. And, and here's what I don't understand.
So they were saying this is the G Trump but that was their main
thing. Oh, there's T Mobile calling me I can't talk to you
now. I'm doing a show. Don't you guys? Listen. John Luxaire he's
probably calling me personally.
We can get you an extra Jigga Jigga Jigga
an extra Jigga Mr. Curry. They were calling this the the G
Trump as in not G 20. But it's all about animals. They were
protesting Trump. And it makes no sense. If you're anti
globalist, then you can't be anti Trump. That's not the same
thing. He is anything but a globalist. He doesn't want to be
in the in the Paris accord wants to be much more isolationist
than everybody would want him to be. And these of course, they're
the shards of block. They are the black block. This is a Soros
funded outfit. Just to make a bunch of A's. These guys are
wearing Calvin Klein underwear and Nike shoes. Oh, way to go
anticapitalist. They stole the entire contents of an Apple
Store. Which is really dumb because that's easy to track.
But yeah, but that is dumb. A buddy of mine, he's there, and
he's there with the some US General and And he said the cops
they were they were the weapons that were being used against the
cops were sling shots with nine millimeter steel balls. There's
pictures of cops with holes, I mean serious holes in their
bodies. One of them lost an eye. And of course they none of them
were allowed to shoot although I do understand that Friday night,
they did shoot at a few of these, these eight holes and at
the same guys you see in Berkeley, it's the same outfit
same uniform.
Even Mo was that because Bill de Blasio the mayor of New York
after one of his cops was shot dead in an ambush. I didn't hear
about the bag the bag that the morning or the funeral and go
protest with the anti capitalist. You didn't hear
that?
I didn't hear any of that. No.
was Bill de Blasio in New York City mayor went to mute to
Hamburg to protest with the anti capitalist protesters. Great
what why is this guy even the mayor? I don't know.
Well, there you have it. That might be a great point.
It's funny because there was some it was a friend of mine or
somebody who was who made the same thing, the same weird
error, which was their anti globalist anti Trump because
Trump's a globalist No, he's not. I know he's not he's not a
globalist at all. He ran on an anti globalist platform. Now
there is again, cognitive dissonance is unbelievable how
bad it's gotten.
There is some good news and a great business opportunity that
came out of the G 20. Before us before I would say for me or any
of our no agenda producers in the EU was very, very
opportunistic. I'm very happy about this and it's thanks to
Theresa May and Ivanka Trump and I'm very excited about it. She
did a little her she did her little speech and for notice
that I didn't clip it but pay attention to Theresa May. She's
always doing A to Z when she talks something from the richest
people to the poorest. From the right to the left from sea to
shining sea. She's always doing the to Al from, from both from
Bay toes to what's it called?
Inclusive contrast. cluesive
contrasting interesting. What is the theory behind that technique
besides annoying?
I don't know what it is. I've never I've she's the only one I
know that does it excessively? Yeah, I just had something to do
with bringing it Oh, everybody's This. This? I guess it's saying
that this covers everything.
It's well it does is it's pretty broad. So she's asked a question
by some, of course about the misogynist, Trump, we all know
he's a horrible grabbed by the pussy person. And but then
something came out of this that I'm very excited about. What
did you make of Donald Trump talking about women's
empowerment? Is that slightly ironic when you consider some of
the sexist remarks he's made in the past? And when can we look
forward to welcoming President Trump to Britain?
Well, on the last point, we don't have a date yet, we're
still working on a date for when he will be making that visit.
But on the border, we've actually done some important
work here on the whole question of women's empowerment. First of
all, this morning, we launched the women entrepreneurs
Financing Initiative, the UK is contributing to that as our
other members, other countries on the G 20. That was an
initiative that was actually very much developed by Ivanka
Trump and worked with the World Bank on that. And I think that's
an important initiative. Because it makes good sense, not just
for the women's themselves, not just for society, but actually,
it's good economic sense to ensure that the talents of
everybody in a population are being used. And this is, I
think, hugely important for developing economies. And we
certainly support that, as we have done in our own development
aid work as the United Kingdom. We've put a huge emphasis on
financing going to projects that involve women and girls,
obviously, ensuring girls education.
I am so happy since I identify as a woman, there's free money,
free money, but I'm so happy I identify as a woman.
This is fantastic. Just get that money.
I'm very excited. On a quick side note, one of our producer
sent me a very interesting, the piece of information about the
pink pussy hats, and I hadn't, we should have figured this one
out immediately. Pink pussy hats are ageist and racist.
You know, why are they ageist?
vaginas are pink on white women. But not all women have pink
vaginas. There are shades of brown and purple. Some are
almost outright red. Some can get looking kind of gray, or
blush. And after a woman has a baby the color changes towards
being darker though it can shift back to closer to the original
color. After some years. Pink vaginas assume a young woman who
has not had kids who is white
Was it 808? That's how it's a just agent. Yeah, I guess I
think if you're gonna take a broad look at these might as
well and occurs Yeah, minus. Yeah, sounds good. Well, I mean,
the Madonna had a black one.
Nuff said. And that's not the first time. And with that, I'd
like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning
to you, John C. E stands for another word for posting Devorah

It was a frayed I think yes. Let me just thank you for both your
hard work and the value that you provide me personally and
professionally. Oh, that's no, no what he does, but apparently
it helps him professionally, which I think is good. I stopped
watching em 5am Some time ago and rely on your bi weekly
summaries and the great work of producers to be aware of global
events Wow. The we're like sole source here we have to be
responsible very response. Other listeners have also experienced
engaging in thoughtful discussion with individuals and
professionals that rely on M 5am and social media for their
information. Wonder how I am so knowledgeable on the important
issues. Indeed, you saved me time and keep me informed hence
value for service rendered.
Nice thing now. Yeah.

Also I know Adam is planning a trip to Australia. Do you know

hot or too cold. All right. So and we were tired. You're
working on it. Yeah, we're working on it. We are working on

have that way too fresh feeling I humbly request in official
dilution, what you just got, I would like to call up my friend
and colleague, Matt Anderson who after hitting in the mouth in
April says he's been listening but skipping the donation
segments in other words he's skipping so he probably wouldn't
even hear that would it be possible to request an emergency
program interrupt in the C Block to call him out as a douchebag?
Yeah. Twice why not?
Anyway, we I was blown away when you read by the way a lot of
people say they skip these things, but there's so
entertaining you miss all the good stuff. I was blown away
when you read John awesomes resume pretty much proving the
hypotheses that he's a Langley guy. Can I get a spot the spook

are our executive and Associate Executive producers. Thank you
very much for coming in and saving our day it's highly
appreciated as we are doing as much as we can to bring you the
value I think that was proven in the first 30 minutes of the show
that is the sort of the the pre a block of the best podcast in
the universe. You can use these credits anywhere there. Any work
credits are accepted. And please remember for everyone that we
have another show coming up on Sunday hopefully I'll have some
Giygas left for you to vote.org/n a n anything you hear
can be used out there to propagate the formula.
Our formula is this we go out for people in the mouth
Ah, okay, let me see.
Got a couple of things. I wanted to play. I just wanted to make a
commentary and play these removing monuments, clips,
they're, you know, they're still taking monuments down left and
right.
You mean Civil War monuments?
Mostly. But I suspecting as I will say after clip two, I
believe this is going to be taken further. But this play of
removing monuments on CBS
in Charlottesville, Virginia today a large crowd turned down
for a counter protest against the Ku Klux Klan. The community
is divided over plans to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee. As
Paul Reed reports, the debate whether Confederate monuments
are symbols of heritage or hate has been playing out across the
south.
Charlottesville police were out in full force keeping the peace
between the Ku Klux Klan and those who showed up to oppose
them.
It is a great sign up for Charlottesville that we are
ready to confront white supremacy that we are ready to
commit to ending oppression and making reparation.
The Klan is protesting the city's decision earlier this
year to remove this statue of Confederate General Robert E.
Lee from a public park that used to bear his name on the eve of
the clans planned protest. The statue was vandalized with red
paint cities across the country are deciding whether or not to
remove and in some cases replace Confederate symbols. Last month
in St. Louis, a Confederate Memorial was removed from Forest
Park after an agreement was reached between the city and the
Missouri Civil War Museum.
Got into their city in the Civil War Museum ZMA. So, those so
this is a clan or the clan, the clan, the clan, the clan, and so
we part to reveal how many clan members you think showed up. By
part two,
only a few dozen clan members showed up to today's protest
even though their permit was for as many as 100 the anti
Defamation League says the group has been diminished by
infighting and high turnover, Rena.
Okay, so a couple of guys showed up. I don't even think it was
25. And it's a couple dozen. I don't know, just more like 15.
Right. So this was a phony story. Yeah, from the get go.
But but it's what is doing is keeping in the public mind. Oh,
we gotta get these statues down and they're going to take down,
I guarantee they're going to start taking down other statues.
And I I think the target is going to be Thomas Jefferson. I
believe Jefferson. Yes. And I think it was on the $2 bill,
that's easy enough to eliminate. I think there's been an anti
Thomas Jefferson movement in this country for a long time.
And I think the movie about him and screwing one of his slaves
is horrible slave owners. Sex with his slaves. Is a slave
screw ahead sexy. This is the classic example of you know, we
talked about sexual harassment, you know, where you have a boss
harasses a secretary until she has sex with him. And sexual
harassment is a big deal. And this is the worst kind of sexual
harassment. He's a horrible person. And I want to point out
that in the play Hamilton, Jefferson is is portrayed as a
jerk. Who should have no respect whatsoever. And this play is
extremely popular.
And how does that fit in with the Hamiltonians versus the
Jeffersonians? How does that all play out in the in the big
world?
I don't know how. I don't know how that plays out. But whatever
the case, I think Jefferson will be the first target. And they're
going to start taking everything they can down because it's this
is part of the globalist agenda, which is another thing that kind
of surprises me. The globalist agenda is to rewrite history
make American especially the founding of this country,
trivialize it and make it it's just a bunch of jerks that put
this country together and slave just examine. Suppose the wrote
you know, half the Constitution is a jerk while screwing a
slave. So let's get rid of the Jefferson references because
he's a jerk and so as they would turns out Washington is to
everybody. All jerks. I found this country this reminds me of
a twit tweet that was done by one of the Wayans brothers who
said just some disparaging thing about Independence Day is just a
white supremacy thing nonsense. This is where it's headed.
Oh John. Slaves built our country
once this Robert they did have at least in the south, they once
Robert E. Lee is being taken down for I don't know what the
reasons are because he was great general. For all practical
purposes, he then is gonna just go it's gonna get worse they're
gonna start rewriting history and they people like that girl
that was cited in the first report. first clip she's going
on about reparations and fairness and oh boy, yes.
Constants you know, kind of following on with that
anyway, Jefferson put them on the I'm putting in the Red
Book. Yes, put it in the Red Book. And following on with that
the war on men continues I didn't realize it you know, this
whole Silicon Valley bro culture thing that's going on? Yeah. Do
you know that in the new I don't know if you saw that New York
Times article is Mark Kanter that they are that they are
going after Mark cantor. Did you know this? You No, yeah. Mark
Cantor because he sent Yeah. Mark can easily he was on one of
my boards way back in the day. Oh Mark. Yeah. You know Mark
very well. He's a he's a loud, raucous
guy. He's loud. He's a lie. Yes.
He's a loud mistress. boisterous, very good. He may he
had a he had a success of Macromedia which he sold, then
yeah. And then you know, yeah, Adobe, then his ex wife got, you
know, half the money and
she said no, she got all of it from what I can tell. No, no, I
know Mark whatever money Mark had he spent, you know, he spent
on trying to media band was his thing that he's but he's a
sweet, lovely guy and at the heart, would you agree?
I would say at the base of Mark. Yes, he has. There's I always
liked the guy
when he went off on you. Yeah,
this was during a period was at a dinner, which was going to
last he was he was an alcoholic, I guess for a while and he went
to AAA or something and became very anti alcohol. So we're at
this big dinner and he's sitting across from me, we're drinking
wine. And he starts chewing me out for drinking anything.
Well, he has his issues. But He's entertaining. And he's in
his heart. He's a sweet guy. That's the way I know him. But
he got called out by Wendy dent in this article. Because he had
no he had said, Oh, I'll try and help you hit the mark has no
power, no money, no nothing. It just doesn't. You know,
he had to go to his reputation. He
wasn't an interior, right? That's gone. And he wasn't in
Ohio. He was for years because he couldn't you know, he was
starving in Silicon Valley. And he had to take a job in Ohio. He
was gone off the radar. It comes back. And apparently in the New
York Times Wendy dental I don't know Wendy dent is she sounds
familiar. She said that Mark was the marks at all trying to help
you hook up with someone or ignore try and get a meeting
together, which is what he is. I'll do that for anybody to. But
then he sent her an email. Like, you're like a sorceress. You
have me enchanted. And now No, he didn't do anything. He that
would that's it. Emails.
He sent her a compliment. At least by his standards. Now he's
not working for anybody. So you can't get him on that. Please.
Not like and she doesn't work for him. So what she said it was
so this was just a social awkward. Yeah. Compliment to a
reporter who I guess took offense.
She's She's a reporter. Wendy dent is a reporter.
Oh, I don't know. Why don't you indicate it was dense of The New
York Times?
I don't know who Wendy dent is up. This is no Wendy dent was in
The New York Times. This is the article about women. The article
McLaury
I misunderstood what you're talking about?
This is good.
So she will akhiya Now you get me confused. She Why did she
want to him to help her get names or something? Was he What
was she up
to? I'm gonna see if I can. She wanted a like a meeting or
something. And he said Oh, no, I can probably help you out. Which
is typical. And then the helping out became an email exchange
where he said, you know, hey, you know, I'm, you're you're
enchanting me. So Mark Cantor, who as you accurately point out,
all he has left is his reputation is excoriated for
this. He didn't do anything physically. Is it creepy? Yeah.
The creepiest part is apparently he proposed a threesome with
some I know if it was windy den and and Lisa canter? Which, wow.
I don't have to say anything. You understand what I'm saying?
Wow. It's just
It reminds me of the New Yorker cartoon where the wife and the
husband and bed and and the wife says, Yeah, I think a threesome
is a great idea. But not with you.
As poor Mark I don't know I just I just felt really bad for him.
So he just said some innocuous okay, but I have received this
is sound like, Okay, we can't even talk to him as I just give
up.
And I have I have received feedback. Most women who were
very honest, agree that if a guy who does something like that is
a good looking guy, then it's not so bad.
Yes, this was the Eliza Schlesinger line that we
discussed in the last show or the show before Yes, where she
went on about this and she said, you know, if the guy's a good
looking guy, you know, it's fine. It's not no now so you
have to rate yourself again, the guys do one level of creepiness
and then age, age and make it far. It should no longer rate
yourself at all. really accurate accurately before you say
anything to a woman now? Gray nice nice lipstick. I liked that
color. Yeah. Ah who pig? No, I
like your your ideas still the best. What do you all gussied up
for? That's the best. That's the best one on their case. Now I'm
speaking of Hot or Not guys. We were talking about Stephen
Hawkins parkings and his same old lame computer voice that
he's using. And the reason I bring it up is because you said
while he is, you know, a novelty lay justice to use to use a kind
of a friendly term, kinder, gentler word. And, you know,
logically we could have come up with this but hey, we get
gushing compliments that are unwarranted. Stephen Hawking's
has had ALS for 52 years.
Unbelievable the I don't think so.
And I there's a number of very well written articles in there
in the show notes. 945 dot no agenda notes.com was
not ALS. Doesn't he have not ALS?
Lou Gehrig's? Lou Gehrig's disease. No, no, it's not what
he has. What does he have?
He has? What's that the other thing and multiple multiple
sclerosis or dystrophy? muscular? Muscular Dystrophy?
Are you sure? Yeah, because he was a poster boy for the Jerry
Lewis thing. I'm pretty sure.
Let's see. Everything I got is als but let's see let's see what
the wiki with it and then we need to stop stop stop
fire that producer.
Oh, it's an Italian shit.
By the way, talking about another complaint I have you
know a lot of people including myself for various security
reasons you use a VPN so if you're using a VPN and you're
coming out of Montreal, you're coming out of Spain or you're
coming doesn't mean you're there. Why did they make the
assumption that you're there these Oh, we've got to oh, let's
give him the wicked PDA in Dutch don't want it in Dutch.
As horrible Okay, let me see if I can I can just change it to E
n wiki pedia does not make it simple to do that with the click
of a mouse. Let's just see what it says here. Disability boom
disability, ALS. Hawking's has a rare early onset slow
progression form of a emmetropia vote. Als also known as motor
neurone disease, Lou Gehrig's disease that's the Wikipedia
John I could be wrong.
Well, I was always under the impression and muscular
dystrophy I'll probably because he says this moment, this moment
has changed my whole what? I've been tricked.
Well, especially I can understand you logically
thinking it could not be als because als you pretty much die
after a couple of years. 52 years old is a record 52 years
with ALS. But if you look at these articles, his teeth are
different. His face is different. It's not the same
guy. And the only reason they're using that computer voice is
that's the brand and now now it's logical to me that Stephen
Hawkins would never say oh, if Trump keeps going like this, we
hit the tipping point we're all going to burn up it's going to
be as hot as Venus.
Yeah, but do we know that that's a real quote from him? Because
anyone can say that with that computer voice
well that's might be a hoax. Yes, it's all a hoax. The guy is
a hoax. Oh,
well, you're saying I know you're saying that. That the
whole thing is a hoax. And you're using that particular
moment to kind of use it as part of the rationale to leverage
your hoax theory. But I'm saying that clip itself by itself could
be
could be could be I don't know it's irrelevant. It's just a
bridge to get to the he's dead thing. That's all
okay, well, it's an interesting theory. I never thought muscular
dystrophy I thought it was living too long with that. Yeah,
that alone. Well, if he goes to 200 We'll know. How old is he
any what does it say? You got the wiki there. What is our
lizard guy?
He is born January eighth. 1942.
So he's 75 Which seems pretty old. That that wrecked.
Yeah. What do we know? Huh? We don't deserve gushing praise. We
would not know
I think they did gushing praise thing you don't have to stay on
But speaking of I liked it were gushing. It's like we got to
Gusher. Guys are so great.
I got an email, snark, of course. Let me just write that
down. Where are we? That was one 42 from the UK Here we go. Hi
guys quick update from England Shire. I can confirm that I've
looked out the window and the chip shop is still there. How
about those months lads John? So your claim that
I saw it Yeah, he says that shifting is bullcrap my argument
so let's play I got here's the background or this is the first
clip is is just a little background this is the fish and
chips,
fish and chips. They're a staple of the British diet since
Dickens wrote about them in 1859. Now the Greater Manchester
City of Oldham was the location of the first fish and chip shop,
or chippy as we call them here.
Though we get as your background or background or now here's the
clip, a clip of one of many I sent him some links to some of
these anti fish and chips things. I think it's a again,
all these things to me always boil down to veganism. I can't
have these kinds of food, no fish and chips and climate
change.
According to UK government scientist on Monday, the
traditional British meal of fish and chips may soon need to be
replaced due to global climate change. Cod and Haddock. The
most commonly used fish for the popular dish are shifting
northward because of the warming sea temperatures. According to
Britain's center for the environment, new species like
squid and red mullet are moving into British waters from the
south. In an interview with the BBC, John pinegar, the program
director for marine climate change said I think people are
slowly becoming more adventurous and I think people should learn
to eat what we're catching around our own waters. In the
long term we will need to adapt our diets
so I guess, silly silly silly silly speaking
of climate change, there is news from the EU's

That's what I'm thinking student you know we got it we got to
Elon Musk is the guy promoting this a lot of it or Elon, I want
to play a play I want to read from TechCrunch but this
headline, take a look at the very first production Tesla
Model three. And listen to this crock of crap that I'm gonna
read. This is just telling me this is bull crap and it's
written by Yeah, it's here the first ever production model
three has rolled off, Tesla says of by the way of Tesla's
assembly line.
That's an official release.
Now this is a news article in TechCrunch. Oh, that's why it's
like a press release
but it's shit in TechCrunch
and into the possession of its owner. It's the first one is
rolled off into the possession of its owner, Elon Musk Are you
on? Now? It goes on. The founder and CEO tweeted pictures of the
new vehicle which he only got because the actual first pre
order customer gifted Musk his place in the queue as a birthday
present. Are you kidding me? The only reason Musk has this car is
because somebody gifted it to him or gifted his spot in the
queue.
Why does that sound phony baloney to me?
Does it does it really alongside the pics Musk tweeted an
interesting bit of trivia about who gets dibs. Dibs on the first
leaders are on the first edition of any new Tesla car. It's the
first person who pays full price for the vehicle. Musk earned,
earned much earned earned company. He earned that honor
for the Roadster and the Model X but not for the Model S he noted
The first production model three is in black. A good call that a
good call back not an average call back but a good call back
to the original model T from Ford, which famously came in any
color you want it as long as it was black. The model three will
have more paint options, but as one of the very few things
customers will be able to customize on the vehicle as
Tesla is limiting options early to ease the production process.
Anyway, goes on with this bullcrap. I mean, if Musk wanted
the first one, he just take it low I have to say, you know, oh
my god, I got number, serial number. Somebody we both know
has one of these deals. Yes. Serial numbers. 0004. I
know who that is.
Who cares?
Did I hear that? That I read somewhere that the model three
got a very got didn't get like a super high safety rating and
like in California, something like that. Hate Hate.
Hate. Hate Yeah, I'm sure it is. Here. They
just kind of mixed up man. I missed him. I have it on this
printout. But there was something that was peculiar.
That was you know, that was like they tried to pass this over.
Yeah, here it is. As expected based on the prototype models
and early spy shots of the car. It looks basically like a
shorter Model S bow with similar sporty feel and a four door
sedan. Musk's big reveal didn't go long on technical details.
Big reveal, however, we're still we are still waiting on some of
that info like the exact range beyond the minimum 215 mile spec
right. That's not enough miles to do anything.
I you know, taxi Eric that I tell you that he said I'm
thinking of getting a Tesla. So are you insane? Are you
completely stupid? You take a stupid pill. You go to you go to
the airport twice. You got to recharge job but supercharger.
Okay. So what if someone like I don't know, Adam says Hey, Eric,
I need to go to Lexus house. It's an hour away. You won't be
able to come back. There's no supercharger where he lives.
It's people are taking stupid pills, John.
Well, it's the it's the right time to do it. To take the
stupid pill. Yeah, he might as well. My goodness. And they you
know, I was noticing I was we were in fact, I went and looked
at the Tech Crunch because I was on it. And it's just like, the
articles are all talking about gushing. I tell you right now if
that guy thinks people are gushing over ours, show and now,
you don't know what gushing is when you've never seen it.
Nobody has any critical eye at all. They don't care. Oh, this
is great.
Yeah. And there's a Technic technological issue that I
bumped up against today, which is not great. And I knew it was
coming. And now we see the shit hitting the fan. The HTTPS
Everywhere. Let's Encrypt. Okay, let me tell you what's happening
by half set up by myself a mastodon server for quote, no
agenda social.com. And, you know, it took me a lot of
effort. But I did it all myself. I didn't want to bother anyone
with it, and one void zero or bemrose. And these guys doing
anything, they're busy enough, then that's my experiment. Let
me see if I can get it work. And it's been. It's been
interesting. I've had to do upgrades and had issues and
things been running fine for weeks. And today, it was like
it's broken. It's down. What's going on. So as a part of this
install, you cannot install it unless you have a certificate
and the path that the install takes you down is through Let's
Encrypt. Well, I didn't realize that every Let's Encrypt
certificate. This is the HTTPS certificate for the website.
Every Let's Encrypt certificate expires after 90 days. When you
know, there's ways you can make it, you can auto renew, but I've
never had to deal with this. So you know, besides the fact that
it's in beta, and then you go you do the command, Let's
Encrypt renew, and it breaks and you have the wrong version of
Python. Once you see that wrong version of Python, you have two
choices. Kill yourself now or kill yourself in five minutes.
But here's the real problem. It used to be when you had an
invalid.
Why does it give a crap about the version of Python?
I don't know. I can't I can't answer that. But it used to be
if you had a bad certificate what would happen You can go,
you can say you can hit advanced on your browser.
And then you can say it's an exception. Click Click, click
Yeah, that does
not is no longer possible.
Really? Yep. Well, that stinks.
Yes. Yes, it stinks. It was exactly what they wanted. And I
warned everybody and obviously, I'm always the one that gets
screwed first.
Well, I'm sure other people have been screwed before you. Have
you ever heard I got it?
Yeah, no, sorry. Go ahead. Yes. Go ahead. Go ahead.
I was gonna say I just have a clip you had continued thought,
no, no, no, no, but I was actually on my way to another
clip. I was transitioning. I'm in transition. I'm stopping for
your transition. You're
finally I got a couple of transitionary clips. I can play
one of two. I haven't asked Adam movie quiz. And I have a clip
from show 744 That I think it'd be interesting to read listen to
this 200 shows ago.
Let's do the clip from 744.
Okay, this is Louis Farrakhan kill them.
The federal government will not intercede in affairs. Then we
must rise up. Kill those. Kill us.
Stop them. Damn. them feel that we have?
I don't remember. It sounds like a clip I might have had. No,
it's one of my clips. I don't remember the context of it.
But Killing cops. Oh, it wasn't played much by much as much of
the media, CBS and even cover it. But it was a good one.
So that's kind of hateful.
There's just a throwback clip may have been a Genesis and a
lot of stuff going on. For all we know, don't know.
Well, I have a question for you and ask John. Have you ever
heard of the black budget?
I have. The black budget and to me always meant the CIA budget.
This is from NPR is planet money. About the black budget.
Give me the black budget story.
The black budget. I talked to Lindsey Kosh Garyun, who is the
research director at the National Priorities project and
asked her what it is.
So the black budget is a part of the federal budget that is
devoted to national security. It's top secret.
And Lindsey says that most of what we know about the black
budget comes from the Edward Snowden leak in 2013. So it
includes
things like the CIA, you know, secret agents, drone programs,
and the National Security Agency
and a bunch of other secret agent type stuff. So this
is all hidden off the books. So when you took your spreadsheets
and spent a week trying to do the math for this show, all this
stuff you're describing is not in those spreadsheets. It's not
on those pie charts. It's it's secret money.
It's secret money. Fantastic.
So for all of this, do we know how much how much money the
government spent?
So before the Snowden leak, we really had no idea. But there
was kind of an unofficial official number floating around
of half a billion dollars, half a billion
dollars. How much do you think they have another number? How
much do you think it is?
Well, the real number seems to me to be at least 50 billion and
maybe more
and then the Snowden leaks came out and we learned that it was a
lot more than that. It's about $70 billion. Oh, that's
profound. billion that's that's about 2% of the budget what that
number is from a few years ago, and to be honest, we really
don't know how big the black budget is today.
I'm surprised you didn't say I'm surprised you didn't say
gazillion they do that on Planet money all the time.
Do they say gazillion Oh my goodness. Yes.
I think the other words that really
bugs me. What is it it was Rachel Maddow says it all the
time. After think about it, like this I reject some of these
words. Humongous, not humongous but DJI Mungus or something. She
says ginormous. ginormous. ginormous. I hate that word. She
says ginormous all the times as reminds me of chicken Giga
whatever Jigga is Jigga Jigga Jigga Okay, here we go. All
right. Yeah, here we go. This is the ask Adam movie quiz.
i There's a reason why I said maybe not but okay, go go for
it. You know what the reason is, I don't
know why you would not want me to do this

why I put the the punch line on this on the Eclipse one email.
Oh, I never read the email. Cuz you never have anything in there
on the email.
Well, I thought you might look at it. I mean, this was the joke
was of course they put this thing on it. This is one of our
attempts. And we do these about a bit a bit we fail. We try to
do these bids. And the bid was he's supposed to say Godzilla vs
Mechagodzilla. And then I say no, it's Godzilla vs
Mechagodzilla too.
And here's the worst part. As the Clippers playing. I remember
my line. And I write down Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla. And
I'm like, That can't be right. It has to be mega Godzilla. I
must be remembering this wrong. And let's not do this.
Let's not do no no. We're gonna get this right. If it's the last

No, no. Okay. Hey,
I got a it's a rather long clip, but it's from I found it to be
fascinating, and I hope you will as well. This is from a recent
Senate hearing. It's the law and justice committee. So it wasn't
really a hearing like they got to put someone to death, which
often happens in the Senate. This is just a hearing to inform
Senate of what's going on in this case it is about what's
going on at colleges in the United States.
sounds intriguing. Indeed. It's
like some milk Very helicopter going over here. And I don't
know if you know he's this guy is Professor Matt man. Well, I
think he's representing maybe a state representative. I don't
know if he's in Congress, but he's there in his, in his
capacity as professor, and he may be from Evergreen possible?
Well, his talk here is about leftist college students, and
how they see language, how they interpret language, we may need
to stop from time to time during this or if you're just bored by
it. But think you like,
over the past few years, we've seen an uncomfortable increase
in the amount of violence on college campuses, probably more
so than any other time since the Vietnam War. Incidents at
Middlebury, Yale, Berkeley, the University of Washington, and of
course, Evergreen. These events have led many professors and
students to ask, you know, why is this happened? What has
changed in the last few years to lead to the increase in
violence, and what are causing these increased incidences? So
one, I don't believe that the students are learning this
behavior in high schools, I haven't seen anything to suggest
or indicate that high school teachers are teaching that
violence is an acceptable response to ideas that one
disagrees with. I'm friends with many high school teachers, my
wife is a teacher, I still visit many high school classrooms. So
I don't think they're coming to colleges with this attitude. And
if that's the case, then we need to assume that this is something
that they may be learning wall at the university or the college
environment. And I think that that should concern us. Too many
college students today think about language differently than
we do, or we did. We all remember the childhood phrase,
I'm sure sticks and stones will break my bones. but names will
never hurt me. This was our generation and many generations
before us the ability to distinguish between verbal
disagreement and physical disagreement, right. And it's
the notion that very distinguished things that you
say from the things that you do. And generally the attitude is we
don't punish you for the things that you say, but we will punish
you for physical violence for many college students today that
I work with, they don't make that distinction the way we used
to, they see language and violence as the same thing. If
they hear an idea that they disagree with, they will often
respond with you or doing violence to me and my community.
If there is a speaker that they disagree with that comes to
campus, they will say you are making it unsafe for me to be
here. They see verbal assaults in some of the same light that
we see physical assaults. And I think it's important for your
discussion today, because it may explain why you're seeing an
increase in violence on college campuses. In the past, it was
never acceptable to use violence against a speaker that you
disagreed with. But if you see speech as violence than of
course, the use of violence to combat violence becomes more
justified in talking with my younger millennial college
students, they would like and it's similar to what we would
say in your committee has self defense, right? Your lawn
Justice says right, there's a difference between you
proactively going out and using violence, and you responding to
violence with violence of your own one is a crime one we
consider self defense. But for many of my college students,
they say, Well, if you say things that are of offensive or
hateful, then my use of violence is just violence to defend
myself against other violence. And so I don't think people from
my generation, maybe your generation see it that way. But
an increasing number of college students see violence, physical
violence against what they consider verbal violence as
therefore justified. And the third thing that I would say is
that a lot of times the violence comes from zealotry. And as any
student of history knows, that all zealot movements eventually
get to become so enamored with the righteousness of their
cause, that they adopt this kind of the ends justify the means
mentality. And that's nothing unique to this generation. Many
movements, if you look at become captured by the zealot wing, and
then, you know, it becomes this notion that what we're doing is
so important that there can be collateral damage. And if you
are a college student, then you firmly believe that you are
saving the world from environmental catastrophe, if
you are a eliminating racial injustice. So if you are
bringing about social justice, then it might be a little worth
a little violence or something to bring about that cause it
does kind of lead to this. Well the ends justify the means and I
think we see that what I'll close with and I know you have a
lot of other people here Here's that I'm not sure if laws can
fix this problem, we don't really have a legal problem so
much as we have a campus cultural problem, it's already
illegal to throw a brick at the head of a speaker that you
disagree with, it's already illegal to break the arm of a
professor that brought a speaker to campus that you disagreed
with, it's already illegal to burn buildings because you
disagree with a speaker. And so I'm not sure if additional laws
will change, what is what we're seeing on campus. But what I
think we can do is focus on creating incentives for
administrators to alter the culture on campuses so that the
environment is truly a place where we do tolerance. And when
I use the word tolerance, I mean the word in a tough sense, it's
easy to advocate for tolerance, if it means that you should only
say things that I agree with. But true tough tolerance means
that you have to listen to people that you disagree with.
And we're not necessarily saying that. And it's not just
evergreen, Senator Patton, there are lots of universities where
we're having this problem. So I appreciate the fact that you've
held this hearing today. There you go.
I thought that was a good clip, we're all going to die. It
wasn't tight enough to be clear for the day. But I will say that
was very interesting. And I think he summarized things
properly. And it's frightening language yet, well, here's
what's frightening. These kids are going to graduate, and
they're gonna go out looking for work, and you have to come up
with some if you're an employer, seems to me, you have to come up
with some way of keeping these kids from ever becoming
ever working for you ever, ever being in your organization. You
really do you and it's not non trivial. And I think a lot of
this bra thing that's going on with the Silicon Valley is a is
a result of some of this.
Oh, that's a very good point. John, we didn't didn't even look
at that angle yet. Did we?
Know and then Cantor is a good example, the anecdote you have
about him. You know, he's Viy. violated this woman by saying
she's pretty. I mean, she's chanting and chanting, which is
like, Oh, you're and chanting after scro? Yo. So you know, the
again, you I'm probably right with my other assertion, which
is why you so dolled up, what are you trying to prove and go
just being aggressive? in a negative way with women who are
pretty, that may
be the way to go? Maybe you have to kind of maybe the way to
address this these days, is to go exactly the opposite. Maybe
it will be perceived exactly the opposite way too. Who knows? We
should test this, we need to field test this.
We need to field test this. Yes, we do add some younger guys out
there who want to have some fun. They hang out in bars. But yes,
I think this is the real problem is what do you do to keep these
people out of your organization? Because that's what you have to
do and then a callus. But there's got to be some ways of
doing it. Well, not just because this woman or this guy is very
qualified for the job as overqualified. How can you make
sure you don't hire them without violating some labor law? So you
have to there's got to be new ways develop because there's
always ways of getting around the law. Because it's illegal to
discriminate. If you're a company of a certain size of
your small company, you can do pretty much whatever you want.
While it gets worse. There's another trend which is extremely
disturbing amongst the among the millennials. Not only are they
do they perceive words as physical violence, but they're
all jacked up.
We all love chocolate, but some people are taking it to a new
level. The product is called cocoa logo. It's essentially a
chocolate powder that snort it. The owner of a company that
sells the product says it's a mix of raw cacao and energy
stimulants. His website says gives user a quote, steady rush
of euphoric energy and quote, a sense of calm focus. The Long
Islanders we spoke with were shocked to hear it was being
sold legally online. If you
need energy, have some energy bars or you don't need to snort
chocolate?
Cheese? Yeah, no, I mean, anything that you put up could
be dangerous in itself.
company owner Nick Anderson defended the product saying like
anything else, it should be used in moderation
responsible, I think that it should be sold to 18 and up it
shouldn't be sold to minors. And
the medical professionals we spoke with here say well, they
don't know enough about the product. They do not advise
anyone use
this. All the problems that people have with taking too much
energy drinks are going to just be magnified by doing this to
the lungs. It's going to turn out to not be safe.
Well some called the new trend quote,
disgusting. Anything that goes up your nose is disgusting.
Others like this
long Islander who have tried it before in Europe say they'll try
it again.
You got energy you got happiness, everything with it.
Well the company warns on its website that chocolate may
impair your ability to drive and may cause health problems. This
product has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug
Administration. No kidding.
This is not a good trend
Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine.
Yikes. Well, that was something I didn't know what's going on.
Um, now. i Since you're in Italy, I do have a couple of
questions about the Muslims. I have two clips. I have two
clips. And I want to ask you what you're saying there. But
let's go with the Italy rundown from RT with some analysis.
As for the extent of the problem, let's check out Italy
their country's already seen at least 85,000 migrants reaching
shore so far this year. It's pleading with fellow EU nations
to share the burden but that's even as far as this week been
largely ignored. Then in France, that giant makeshift camp
housing migrants in Paris had to be cleared by the authorities,
with the migrants put into temporary accommodation across
the city instead, up to the north in Cali, that former site
of the notorious jungle cup, it's now seen budget hotels fill
their rooms with those refugees over Greece, it's seen a huge
share of migrants to of course, locals on the under chaos of
furious that their hotels are again having to be used as
emergency housing. We sounded a European political analyst and a
European Parliament MP about the migrant crisis both agree it is
a huge problem. But for different reasons.
This I mean, this whole migrant story is based on hypocrisy.
Where are these migrants coming from? They're coming from?
They're coming from Afghanistan. They're coming from Iraq,
they're coming from Syria, they're coming from Libya. These
are the countries where the US and NATO said they were going to
bring democracy. So you bring democracy and 20 years later,
you get get the migrants coming in droves. So the responsibility
of the West comes in the fact that they have destabilized
countries, and they have attacked some of the most
secular countries in the Mideast. And the second
hypocrisy, as you said is that they've all got these nice words
and and very sweet to open the borders to refugees. So they're
inviting them when Mrs. Merkel said that she was going to greet
these refugees, that was an invitation. But there's an
invitation and then when the migrants arrive, well, there's
nobody to greet them.
Now, one other thing, just as an aside, it's not really got as
much to do with the question. But I do want to play this clip
before I forget. This is a short clip that was a part of a bigger
report. And this little guy, this little thing showed up in
the middle of the report. And it was very distressing to me
personally, that I would hear what I'm going to hear this just
a weird segment of report on people smuggling
if the boat sensors are deliberately turned off by NGOs
in order to obscure the location, and that does not
arouse confidence.
So this caught my attention, because apparently, these are
the smugglers and others. They're involved with NGOs,
troublemakers.
I think we talked about what's happening is the NGOs are in the
water. And they're getting closer and closer to like
Northern Africa. And on now you only have to reach the in the
NGO boat.
That's the problem. Yeah. And they turn their sensors also,
nobody knows where they are, except the NGOs. Set the NGOs
and then they sneak sneak here. They sneak there. This is not
this doesn't sound right to me. I find it distressing NGOs are
just becoming a nuisance. Wow. All kinds of love. A lot of them
had question. Okay, the question remains, so you're in Italy and
we see all these YouTube videos of all these Muslims are roaming
around. What do you see?
I'm not seeing it, but I'm in Rome. I'm not necessarily in
Italy. And it's no I'm really not seeing it at all. Maybe
Maybe there were some near the Vatican we did the Sistine
Chapel tour but you know, I will know more for Thursday's show
because I'll be Tuesday, July 14, his birthday we go to
Florence and we're gonna go to visit Willow and Willow of
course will have you know the willow and Matteo obviously you
know Matteo always has good stories yes stories for sure.
However a couple of things just it has nothing to do with with
immigrant just want to just want to get off my chest has nothing
to do with the immigrants and they'll get back to the
immigrants. When you go to the Sistine Chapel that we did the
tour and by the way the immigrants may be these a holes
who the minute you cross the bridge towards Vatican City,
they they're all like tickets ticket, skip the line tickets,
skip the line tickets, skip the line. And mountain but not like
once, not twice. 50 times every 10 feet there's another guy
ticket ticket ticket, skip the line. The crazy thing is, it's a
good idea to get tickets to skip the line. But you do not want to
go to any of those guys.
But when Where do you get the chart? Where do you get the
tickets to skip the line? Well,
so you can order online and there's 16 euros a pop. And but
if you if you want a good deal, when you're in front of the, you
know, when you're at the big at the big, it's not the square,
but you know, when you're in front of the big Piazza there,
there's a there's a store in the left hand corner. It's the only
one you'll see it you go up to the second floor, you ask for
Julianne Giuliana. And that's absolutely a great deal. You get
the guided tour with a little earpiece, so you can you can
hear what they're saying. But here's what really bugged us to
no end. Throughout. It's a two hour tour throughout the entire
tour, the very clear about two things, three things out of
respect when you go into this it's the Pope's private chapel
and you know, this is all Michelangelo, the frescoes it's,
you know, it's a beautiful thing, it's something to see.
You as a woman, you cannot have bare shoulders or bare knees.
But of course, for an additional two years 50 You can get a nice
little drape that you put over your shoulders or over and or
over your knees. You're not allowed to take photos and
videos of the chapel. Do you know why I actually knew this
when I heard it. But I'd forgotten. Do you know why you
do not want to know
I don't know. I mean, I know what the old excuses you know,
but you know, Flash is gonna ruin everything. Nope,
nope, nope, nope, nope. In I think it was 2010 they restored
the Sistine Chapel. But no one wanted to pay for it except for
Nippon television. It was only three and a half million
dollars, quote unquote, only. And because of that they cut a
deal, that they have the exclusive copyright on all
imagery until 2040. Watch she has I know. I'm like shit. What
a great deal. I should I could have gotten the money together
for that. That's a great deal. Imagine
what if you get a hold of Nippon and ask them for permission?
You know, you'll pay for it. You'll pay for it. They're much.
Well, I don't I this I don't know. But it's it's very clear.
You cannot take photos or videos inside. It's posted everywhere.
The explanation is everywhere. You can't do it. The other thing
you can't do, where you're asked not to do in their signs is talk
Please be quiet. Be respectful, be quiet. So you go through this
tour and it's busy and it's an hour and a half of walking
around until you get in. In fact, it's so so hyped up that
when we first walked in, we're like, oh, is this it? You know,
it takes you a second to like, Okay, let me do let me step
back. But everyone's talking. And the guards are going she
Leoncio Solenn CEO, shush. No one is respecting the don't
talk. And every asshole millennial is sneaking their
iPhone, using the selfie cam to film the ceiling is over
unbelievable. If we weren't shooting we would it could we
weren't talking. Like we just make our little hand signals
like Trump and Putin. Like, look at these eight holes. They have
no respect people getting kicked out. But they're all like who I
can sneak this like you sneak this in. You just will just hold
my helmet. Oh, they can't see I'm doing it. I'm speechless. I
was speechless because we weren't supposed to talk but I
was speechless about that.
Well, that's not gonna get better with time
now. But back to the immigrants. We were discussing if this was
perhaps as a plan, what's happening in the European Union.
And multiple people sent me pointers to Richard Nicolaus a
row count of CU for the color gi that he was born in at 94 died
July 27 1972. He was an Austrian Japanese politician philosopher
count of Kouwenhoven Bulgari, the pioneer of European
integration. He served as the founding president of the Pan
European Union for 49 years, which was the preliminary
ideological foundation for the European Union. And you know,
and you read through this, this is a from a lot of this is from
Wikipedia, and I'll just pull out a few important pieces. In
his book, The practice ADL ADLs most practical ideas As in
Britain in 1925. He describes the future in Europe and the
European racial composition with the following words, the man of
the future will be of mixed race, today's races and classes
will gradually disappear. Bowing to the vanishing of space, time
and prejudice. The Eurasian Negroid race of the future
similar in its appearance to the ancient Egyptians will replace
the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals. And
then and this is kind of a weird passage, instead of destroying
European Jewry, Europe against his own will refined and
educated this people into a future leader nation through
this artificial selection process. No wonder that this
people that escaped ghetto prison developed into a
spiritual nobility of Europe. Therefore, a gracious Providence
provided Europe with a new race of nobility by the grace of
spirit. Now, this is just some stuff from an old guy. However,
you have to know that every year there is an award given the
Coutinho for Calgary Award, which is handed out to two
leaders who have helped further the European project. Notable
recent winners Angular Merkel and our buddy, haiku Herman Van
Rompuy. Again still like man, is it really that is it really that
guy? For me, this was the this really did it. In 1955, he
proposed Beethoven's Ode to Joy be the music as the year for the
European anthem, which of course, 16 years later, is now
the European anthem. So I need to read up on this guy, and we
need to do a lot of research. But if you listen to his words,
and you see some of the things that have been implemented, it
seems like it was a plan.
Well, and the plan is working well. Fantastic. think that one
of the elements of it from a globalist perspective is this
and we had a clip which incorporated it. Is this
constant complaining about white supremacy. Yes, yes. It fits
right into that scheme because whites you know, you have to
marginalize whites as a as a race because you have to
marginalize all races, they all have to come together in some
sort of, I wish I had a video of that woman that was screaming
about this at the takedown of one of the Jefferson Davis or
wherever it was or how she was talking about statues of white
supremacists. Usually it was in the clip she's going on. She
says white supremacist reprimands when he reprimands me
not referent, reparations, reprimands, reparation. Same
thing, really, when you think about it, if you think about it,
and she was a mixed race, kind of oh, she's a white girl, from
my perspective, but she was a really interesting mixed race
white girl that looked she just had she was Now I wouldn't say
she had dark skin. But she had kind of, I would say, the Latin
skin. It may have been a Latin girl. I'm not sure. But you
look. Everything else was white. And she's Bichon. And very
deceiving. Interesting. Yeah, it makes sense. I mean, this is
just one way if it's taking too long, so let's bring all these
people in. Yes, yes. Ms. They're very religious. A lot of these
people, at least
well, hola, hola. Hola. Hola. Stop, stop, stop. Just hit me.
As I've been watching the European news. And I've been
watching because I saw the report. It's interesting. I did
see that RT report about we watched a lot the other day that
really tried to scan all the networks in Tinos, like hey, is
that John's favorite channel? Deutsche Avella, of course. The
term is economic migrants and economic migrants. So they
cleared up Callay now down the channel. But now there's another
camp in the woods at Callay.
And they got to camp out from overhead is beautiful. Yeah,
like the government put up all these Tansen it's just dynamite
looking blue tents.
That's after they cleared them out of the woods. But now
they're putting them in hotels, in hotels. Now and people are I
mean, people are complaining about it. I don't know. I mean,
we've already heard this in Italy, that it's the budget
hotels and the government is paying these hotels, full
occupancy. This is what we heard from a tale from my nephew. They
got full occupancy. Why would they complain? It's a business
model
to working alright, well, I have one last thing. All right, dad.
I want to get out of the way which is the you probably didn't
get this but there was a something of a cyber attack on
some. Yeah. Oh yeah.
I think someone got fished that At the office,
whatever, but they blame it on the Russians. The Russians who
yes. Wait, where's Russia clip on. Where's that Russia jingle?
So I'm a little behind. Was it Russia? Russia? Russia, Russia,
Russia, Russia. Yeah, here it is. I'm sorry.
Russia, Russia, Russia. Russia, Russia, Russia. Oh there we go.
Much better, that you bring that up guy and chicha Khan has not
been surfaced for a month.
I wonder what's up. Maybe she's pregnant. I don't know. I just
hit me. Maybe she's pregnant,
she could be pregnant. Alright, so this is the twisted reporter
got to where I got two eclipses. One is just as new car the other
one's got CBS because the CBS part of this it needs to
discussion. Okay. And I'm going to again reveal a CBS trick that
they use in their reporting is not an unusual one. They do this
all the time. But because we've caught it a lot. And this is
another example. So let's start with the first clip.
So US officials say hackers have launched a series of cyber
attacks targeting a dozen of those us facilities. And once
again, Russia is the prime suspect and VCs Pete Williams
with the details.
US officials say tonight they sit
Stop, stop, stop. I just want to I'm sorry. This is the I have
the two clips are the following one is the NBC version of the
story. And the second was the CBS version of the story where
they pull this stunt I'm going to reveal but we're doing it's
also a good con. To good contrast. You're playing the
right clip so keep playing it
so US officials say hackers have launched a series of cyber
attacks targeting a dozen of those us facilities. And once
again, Russia is the prime suspect and VCs Pete Williams
with the details.
US officials say tonight they said a bulletin warning of a
series of cyber attacks beginning in May on companies
that run a dozen US nuclear power plants. Several US
intelligence officials tell NBC News Russian hackers are
strongly suspected because the attacks resemble previous cyber
intrusions known to have been carried out by the Russians on
electrical grids in other countries. Among the targets
this time US officials say the Wolf Creek nuclear plant in
Burlington, Kansas, the FBI and Homeland Security say the cyber
attack appears to be limited to administrative and business
networks, not plant controls, and the company says the
intrusion had no impact on the plant. Because the targeted
operational computer systems are completely separate from the
corporate network. Security experts say the hackers goal
could be a threat of a blackout. Send a message to say back off
because we have the ability to strike you in the heart of your
core systems, your networks that matter to your economy and to
your lifestyle. The industry says none of the control systems
for any of the nation's 99 operating nuclear plants are
connected to the internet. But some experts say the intrusions
are a wake up call.
The problem is that the nuclear industry in the United States is
under very great economic strain right now and they're looking to
cut costs and everything safety security and cybersecurity.
So that last guy was from the Concerned Scientists guy
of who's always the guys who do the nuclear clock
the guy I don't know if they do the nuclear clock or not but I
do know that they want wind power so the guy at the end says
you know they don't care they run out of money and they don't
they don't care about security i don't care i did trying to save
money. Okay fine you that's an interesting that that's kind of
the approach NBC takes toward this particular situation to
make it sound like the dole these nukes should be shut down.
But on the second one, which is that this is the twisted report
Cybertech some new juices CBS version, this got your buddy
Jeff buggy days. Oh, the fresh boy pack is coming out. And he
does a little trick right in the middle of it and I will ring the
bell and eat right after he's finished and then you can maybe
stop it. We back it up and listen to what he did. But he
did he does this trick and a lot of CBS reporters do this trick.
And we've we've pointed it out every time I catch it, I will
point it out and continue to point it out. It's really a bad
idea that what they're up to but
investigators have not attributed the incident to a
specific country or a cyber criminal. But on June 28, the
FBI and DHS issued a joint report warning nuclear power
plants and potential cyber criminal activity.
I'm sorry, I don't want to take anything away from the report
but that sentence was I gotta poop real bad. And then I'll
stop
shifts. Investigators about attributed the incident to a
specific country or a cyber criminal. But on June 28, the
FBI and DHS issued a joint report warning nuclear power
plants and potential cyber criminal activity. Who do you
think's responsible. Jim Lewis, who advises the US government on
cybersecurity believes there is a leading suspect
all the evidence points towards Russia really, they probably
want to get into the nuclear controls but they weren't able
to they only were able to get into the front end operations
you know, the billing the office stuff the email. Late last
year, the US government identified a Russian hacking
unit codenamed grisly step as the source of malicious cyber
activity against us infrastructure. And technology
is giving them more targets, such as electrical grids,
hospitals and election systems, Director of National
Intelligence Dan Coates. Secondly,
the potential impact of these cyber threats is amplified by
the ongoing integration of technology into our critical
infrastructure and into our daily lives.
People familiar with the operations say nuclear power
plants are actually less vulnerable than other targets,
because safety systems are not connected to the internet is
hard. And Lewis says many of them are out of date with that,
is
it specialized, it's probably unique, it might be tailored to
fit the particular plant. It's not off the shelf. It's not like
the operating system or the office devices you get from a
store.
A motive for the cyber attacks on nuclear facilities could be
to gather intelligence. But Jane, the hackers could also
have been planning for future intrusions.
All right, Jeff, for gays. Thank you.
Yeah, of course. Yeah.
Okay, here's what happened. I
know exactly what happened.
But gaze goes on and says something about this and makes
us these assertions, and then he, and then he says, And they
CBSs is constantly. Then he says, national security or
Homeland Security guy or intelligence guy, Dan Coates.
And he just says his name, and then coach, blab goes on about
something or others just generally mostly talking about
barbecue. And it as this as if this was a confirmation of the
basic thesis, when in fact coat says nothing and never mentions
Russians. He never talks about the new plants. He doesn't do
any of that stuff is just a random clip from some hearing.
And CBS constantly does this. Yeah. Is this a well, it looks
like the Russians did it. And then they put John McCain on.
And he's John McCain says, you know, I always like to use
redwood. It's got nothing to do with it.
There was something else. Yes, there was
something else. It might be tailored to fit
something else. Let me see if I could find it. My real pet peeve
is, you know, they do this to do that. And election systems,
which is everyone has said no.
Oh, yeah. So yeah, they're always throwing in a little
needle on something.
Everyone has said no, that didn't happen. And instead of
hacking, my favorite is they hacked the election. It was like
they hacked everybody's brain in America possible. But then I say
oh, they hacked the findings. I think he's in fact voting
systems. I mean, just check with
Gration of technology into our critical infrastructure and into
our daily lives was before
this, I believe. I say it's a good clip. John.
didn't stay in coats. Secondly, that was before was it before
Dan
Coats obsessing because
it says electrical grids after bottles and election systems.
Oh, yeah, bullshit. No homeless.
Bullshit. That's a good catch. Because I guess I missed that.
Because I'm always looking for these little zingers that CBS
throws into stories that have nothing to do with the story. We
need
to talk to the guy because what he's not doing is he's not doing
the proper sound effects. I mean, this is what he needs. He
needs that in that little pew pew is
for sure. Another thing that's kind of interesting is that they
said, Well, these can hack these plants because they're not
hooked to the internet. One good idea. Yeah. And two is an
outdated software. Does it work? Yeah. Yes, software. I mean, you
can't. They were always I forget who it was. I think it was JC it
was over dinner recently talking about how they're trying, you
know, they have some some some old, old code. That is
somebody's running this old code. And it's like COBOL, or
something,
which a COBOL is okay, I've got no problem with COBOL
COBOL fan, and then they use pretty hard to hack it over the
internet, if not impossible, but they want to change it to
JavaScript. So it's really hackable. I mean, it's like they
were just asking for trouble. It's insane. I mean, all these
guys are asking for trouble. These big dudes named Ben know
better than half of this stuff is like it's not a good idea.
The code works, what is the code works, the code works. So these
reports are annoying. Well, I think CVS is it Streaming
knowing that with the way they present this stuff
they're everyone's flailing everyone's struggling they're
all trying to stay relevant. We're as we all know, we're
really the guys that are relevant. You know why? Because
no one can tell us what to do. Even if they try to they try to
shut us down try to take away our access. But no, we prevail.
So far,
hopefully will prevail from flow homes. Let me see how many Dziga
have left hold on. Total uses eight gigas for the show and
prep to use eight bit to show her eight gigas. Well by the
time we're done uploading everything will you attend
gigas?
Thursday we'll be back with another episode of the Best
