Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, February 17 2013 times your gizmo nation media
assassination episode 488. This is no agenda. Sitting in the end
boxes nothing less than a bare bones studio here and can't move
forward the capital of the drone Star State Austin Tejas morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and it's cold here in chili con Valley. I'm John C. Dvorak and
buzzkill
chili con Valley real did they must have said that on the news
this morning. This cannot be a John C Dvorak original.
In fact, it is I thought that just a second ago noticing how
cold it is. And you said, Hey, I've got a great one to play on
words. chili con Valley.
a play on words we've never heard before.
Right? Well, yes, I'm gonna probably have chili con carne
that dinner.
And of course, you were thinking about that. You'd even notice
what I said. What did you say that? We're sitting in and on
boxes? Yeah, no, I heard that. Okay. Was it's empty. Do you
hear the Hello? Hello?
I can't Yeah, I did there. Do you hear the he gives it nice
ambience. So I think you should do an empty room. Yeah. Sounds
good.
I know. It does not sound good. It sounds echoey.
No, no, that sounds very new. Thank you. Sounds good. No, no,
no. It sounds to me sounds Oh,
now the chat. Now. Now the chat room your buddy. Yeah. This is
true. The chat room knows knows all the All Knowing chat room.
Yeah. So. So literally, we have planned our lives once again,
the move around the around the show. So yesterday, we had the
Two Men and a Truck here all day, packing up with us. And so
right after the show after the show, it's post produced in the
show notes are done. Everything's uploaded, which
takes another two hours after the show. Then I break it all
down. And then tomorrow morning, we move over and then I'm going
to spend I don't know how many days you know, it has been it's
been the first one Ms. Mickey's done a great job. She's doing
everything. The only thing I have to do is basically sound
like a couple of gypsies.
Yeah. So I had, you know, Geek desk, you know, these? Have you
heard of this geek desk.com. So they came out with a new
product, which is a stand up desk with an electric motor. But
finally one that's affordable, because these desks are
typically, you know, $2,000 If you want to get a desk that can
move from sitting position up to standing position, because I
really wanted to build a stand up studio. And I don't want to
have to have to be in it to be a fixed height. Because
I was taught you're a stand up kind of guy. i
Yes, besides the pond, but I am I like doing I like standing
while doing shows etc. And so they came out with this product,
which is like 500 bucks for a standup desk. And this is the
only splurge, I got two of them for the new studio. So you know,
I ordered it on time and everything and you know, the
boxes came. And of course, only one of the table tops came. So
yeah. And then the other one was damaged like a huge gouge right
in the top. So I'm like, oh, man, you know, this is gonna
suck. I have to elevating frames with no wood on it. Like I have
to go get some, you know, some would or whatever. So and you
know, you go back on the site, like, okay, there's no phone
number, like I was gonna, this is gonna suck so bad. So I send
them like, hey, you know, I only receive one table top and that
one's destroyed. And lo and behold, I get an email from
Jennifer. And she's like, Well, looks like the order got split,
you know, the somehow UPS will deliver on the other one on
Monday. And I've immediately sent a picture of the table to
immediately have sent a new one to replace the one that's broken
like, Okay, that's pretty cool.
So what company is this?
Geek? desk.com Geek geek desk. Yeah, Deke, yeah, as in golf
echo echo kilo. Golf. Are you looking at just being a douche?
No, I said geek desk and you said no, no. I said I thought
you said deep desk and I said deep desk and then you say no.
Golf and I said golf. And so it's geek desk. Geek. That
happened.
Yeah. So so. I love her. So so they have this new product which
is like $500 for a desk which is really
a how much was yours? $500 Oh, yeah, that's what the price
either I got a desk for my key F for like 160 Yet
no, but that how big is it? It's big. No, it's not. It's enough
for a computer and the keyboard. Yeah, yeah, John, I have three
monitors here. I've got two mixers. This this is a serious
operation. This is not
like an Ikea side by side and put three monitors on him.
Yeah. And then And then what's the price? It's more than $500.
Then you're like
150 bucks a pop. 300. You just said
you need three. Okay. Do you want the best podcast in the
universe to be a frickin IKEA operation? Is that what I'm
hearing you say? We have jingles my friend. Now shout out. It's
kind of crazy. All right.
Just saying no, it's
not. It's a
lot cheaper than an Amish desk.
I don't have an Amish desk. I'm just saying that the I'm
spending resources on the show and you're taking us to IKEA
level. Thanks.
Said you think IKEA sucks. Ah
yes. IKEA blows chunks. Some assembly required.
Last my hex thing.
Yes. Anyway, so it was important that I could adjust it I didn't
doesn't matter if it's a motor. I would have done it with a
crank handles as motor. Yeah, that's for that price. Pretty
cool.
So you're moving right to that? Yeah. Yeah. So it's funny. Like,
I think broadcasting where you're standing up is good. I'm
actually in a chaise lounge. from Martha Stewart. And I have
the microphone. Really?
I use? Are you serious? Are you kicking back?
I am kicking back as we speak.
So how do you do you have? Are you using a laptop on your lap?
Or
no, no, I can. The screen is like let's see about five feet
from here. I just I like to keep the screen away from me. And
because it's better for the eyes. And right. Oh, I'm just
I'm just speaking of this. I'm kind of leaning back and kind of
you know, I'm almost prone to the almost parallel to the
earth. And
are you grounded properly?
That's weird because you'd say that because
there's definitely something in that. First of all, we have a
jingle for that. It's lightning rod and grounding break. Hello,
everybody. We're lightning rod and grounding braid. So you are
Earth today John. Are you Earth?
Yeah, well kind of. Let's go back to there's the boy that
gate this site is the slowest thing in history. The whole
chat room is on it. So we've been basically we've crashed
apparently we have like, like a tweet size audience these days.
So anyway, I've been getting jolts constantly around the
house really? And I thought it was my shoes, because I got a
couple of these insulated shoe Topsiders or wherever they are.
I got some, but I've tried different shoes and slippers and
so I'm so I'm going to make my my cuts from slippers. Slippers.
Slippers. Yeah, you want to wear slippers? Yeah. So anyway, some
people walk around barefoot I don't understand. So anyway, so
I'm making these cuts and every time I go back to the little
recorder, which is hooked to the DVR. I'm just dreading you get
because I get a jolt and
either one of those like we touch it real fast you know like
shockless
the DVR itself I just finds a piece of mele knucklehead. You
knock
what does the knuckle not give you the jolt them
it gives you a jolt that's very tolerable.
Oh so really so this is this is important information because
I'm one of the people you know if it's if it's static and I
know I'm gonna get a shock or I've I've gotten a couple then
everything I touch I do the the real like quick touch but that's
not the way to do it apparently
know what you want to do is actually going to use your
finger knuckles but if you really don't like any shock
whatsoever, you use your your your fist knuckle you know the
bottom one big giant one and you touch with that really you get
to does you see the jolt there but it for some reason I think
it's the there's not the nerves are not they're not as sensitive
to the like the fingertips which are sensitive so you touch with
your fingertips it hurts. So I'm wandering around and I go to the
kitchen I couldn't believe this. I got a job from some potatoes
well you know you can make a battery out of a potato.
Well I guess the potato had contact with it. There was some
butter on the potato which was contacted the metal on the
stove. Yeah. And when I went to touch I was I don't know if I
was even touching the potatoes but I went to touch him and I
got a jolt and that just that was the end. I mean right now, I
don't know what the deal is but there's so much static and it's
been going on for months. I don't know if it's all in
California just might my house or somebody that maybe the
somebody's rigged a listening device and it's kind of screwed
up their electricity in the place. I have no idea but it's
bugging me.
This is interesting, oh, well, this there's something going on
then. I mean, it's, you get when the potato
Games gives me a shot when,
hmm, I wouldn't be somewhat concerned personally. about it.
So you were talking about your eyes. I didn't mention this the
other day. Now, for those of you who are new to the program, this
is the best podcast in the universe, when I stopped smoking
a 33 year habit. And of course, I'm saying this 33 for a reason,
my eyesight changed. And this would be presumably because of
the I have less impurities flowing through the blood
vessels in general, and specifically in my eyes. So my
focal point changed. And I've had it's been, you say, how many
feet? Do you sit away from the monitor three, three feet, you
say? Four? And what is the resolution of the monitor?
Because that's kind of important. 1820
by 1080, of course.
Okay, so when I do that, let's see. Yeah, that's, that is
really nice, but I can't do without my glasses. And
currently in the studio, I'm about I'd say two and a half
feet, which is a comfortable range for me wearing the
glasses. If I get any further than I have to literally slide
the glasses on my nose, or I have to if I get any closer, I
have to take them off because of myopic. myopic, I think is what
it myopia. So I get a whole bunch of emails, just like we
have tons of dentists and oral health care professionals. We
apparently have truck drivers. Yes, we have truck drivers. We
have oral health care providers, but we also have
ophthalmologists amongst our our elite listenership. And so I'm
getting a lot of advice, the varying degrees of advice, of
course. And and also a lot of people still think I should you
know, they there's a lot of push towards the LASIK operation. And
I want to say this about LASIK, which is the you know, the eye
operation to correct your vision one, it's still to this day to
my knowledge invalidates your pilot's license that they are
not happy with, with this surgery. So that, you know,
unless you hide it, which I think most people do to it isn't
always the case, John, maybe you can back me up on this. When
someone says hey, you know, this guy that I had my surgeon you
know, the did my LASIK surgery, he invented the procedure. Have
you read Have you picked up on this that people always telling
you their guy invented the procedure?
I have never actually had a discussion with anyone who's had
the LASIK surgery in that regard. Oh, well, I don't know.
But I can imagine that because it seems as if I mean the it
used to be called Radio care and something or others carrot
carrot off of me. And it was some it was a Russian I think
invention. People can correct us in real time. And it was always
a crappy I it didn't never work very well. It got perfected over
the years. And
so yeah, well, you know, I'm saying is like people, there's I
got someone here in Austin told me, you know, Bloom Ron Bloom,
he told me that his guy in Atlanta. This guy had actually
invented the procedure. Something like this is bullcrap.
And we know,
as far as I know, it was invented by a Russian, and I
believe he's dead.
Yeah. Joseph LASIK? I think his name was No. and No, but also
the FDA has come out later and said, Well, this really was
shouldn't have been approved. No one talks about that anymore. So
anyway, but the most interesting I received, several people have
told me about the Bates method.
Yeah, that's the old UI guy who was convinced I think he's I
think, Can I
Can I just explain what we asked. Let me just tell you what
it is.
So exercising the eyeball mussels. So William
Horatio fellatio baits in 1890 8095. He came out with the
bait
by the way the guy was a master. Well, they and they also
the well he got kicked out of every organization as a kook.
The hater Bates did. Yes,
John, you're just killing me with the humor today with the
word the word pawns. It's just, you're killing me walked into
that one. No, no, but it's like I like Did he really do that to
John just really do that one. So the Bates method is based on his
observance, that it is not the eye muscles that no longer work.
And he would take a what do you call the device that you measure
your Oculus with or the whole I'm looking for the actual well,
he has the what's the name of this damn, I don't know. Anyway,
so he would measure the odd the eye and he would do things with
light and And, and standing at some distance from from his
subjects eye, he would then determine that the eye actually
could contract and and you know and go oval shape and all the
things that it needed to do in order to see the distance or
close up. But it's actually the brain that is trying too hard to
focus at either the distance with the great distance or the
closer distance, and that it is a matter of training your brain
to see not the eye that the eye actually has all of the
capabilities, not the theory that I received. Well, this is
the Bates method. Okay, well, that's possible. And I can see
understand because the eye is seeing it. Apparently, if you
actually map with the eyes, seeing at any given time, you
could actually map map the optic nerves, you're not seeing
anything, you're seeing little bits and pieces of stuff that
the brain puts together, right? I mean, that's why movies and TV
works because you're not if you actually saw what was going on,
you'd see just right, flashes of images.
So they say so his whole a whole thing is it's really right,
actually using the whole glasses business, the whole optim
optometry is a big scam. And like, this is my kind of guy so
so I'm gonna need glasses. I can't see anything. I am a scam,
you're being scammed.
I am following the beta method to see how that works out so
far, not doing too well, I have to admit, but I like the idea.
And it was a guy I used to be a guy and Guy CUNY was a computer
writer and he's in out of London and he gave me a long lecture
but there his method was the exercise method which is that
the eyeball gets pulled like if you're reading all the time your
close up as the eyeball is being trained to become nearsighted
and that's what people read a lot always get glasses real
early. And then people were the athlete types have to see a long
distance they tend to be farsighted, Miss and miss in the
matter of exercising those muscles to get the eyeballs
start to round up a little bit more. And I think that makes
some sense. I don't know. I mean, I know that when you get
older and this could be happening to you by the way.
Your use you begin to get more farsighted naturally, yes, yeah.
So if you're nearsighted as a kid, you get Damn, you know,
it's amazing how well but what I thought was interesting is that
I just get pretty normal when you get older.
But this this happened to me right after I stopped smoking.
So I don't believe that that was any difference in my eyes
ability to focus but clearly in the the signals being sent to my
brain, which were less clouded by whatever crap was in my in my
blood vessels. So, I mean, I'm kind of buying into it. He also
he also says, there's a whole book that I bought his book on
the Amazon is books on the Kindle, by the way, Mr. Bass,
yeah, 10 bucks, 10 bucks on Kindle, which is a scam because
someone's just republishing that for free. It's, you know, it's
obviously public domain. That when you wake up from sleep,
that you know, it's hard for you to see when you first open your
eyes, because your eyes are actually not at rest. When
you're sleeping. You have REM rapid eye movement, your eyes
are doing a lot of stuff. So they're not relaxed at all. And,
and it really is when your eyes are at their most relaxed when
you're relaxed, and your brain is relaxed and not straining
when you strain to see that you'll never be able to see
whatever your your your correction issue is your
distance problem.
Well, I think we lost half our audience. There was discussion,
but Oh,
no, why don't you go back to the masturbation jokes to John that
was that'll really keep them in there. I'm trying to keep things
lively. Well, then let me lay something on your right now.
Good. So after the State of the Union, the president the next
day did a Hangout known as a
fire this but by the way, this bothered me because it was right
during our show.
Yes. The fight? Well, that's why I couldn't watch it live. And
even so it like a fireside chat. It was called the fireside
hangout with the positive Lee. Like Roosevelt's Fireside Chat.
It is the fireside hangout brought to you by Google. And,
of course, it was incredibly lame. No questions were really
asked that were have everything set up. Everything's pre
programmed. You know, Clarissa who was trying to validate us on
Google, you know, she's in she's, she's in charge of the
celebrity Hangout. So I'm sure she was a part of it. But there
was one question that in particular, the President's
answer that caught my attention,
that your administration now believes it's illegal to have
drone strikes and American citizens and whether or not
that's specifically allowed with citizens within the United
States, and if that's not true, what will you do to Create a
legal framework to make American citizens within the United
States know that Trump's type strikes cannot be used against
American citizens. So
when when this question came up, I'm like, Alright, this is where
it's gonna go, he's gonna say, oh, no, we're gonna have a
special court, a drone court, much like the FISA court. So,
you know, so we'll have a judge that can rubber stamp it. And
you know, then we have another branch that is, you know, has
some kind of oversight, which, of course, is bullcrap, since
the President pretty much appoints all the judges. So
great question. That's the answer I'm expecting. Or he
could just say, hey, you know, I'm not going to drone American
citizens in America. But the answer was different. First of
all, I think there has never
been a drone used on an American citizen on American soil. And
they, you know, we respect and have a whole bunch of safeguards
in terms of how we conduct counterterrorism operations
outside of the United States, the rules out outside the United
States are going to be different than the rules inside the United
States, in part because our capacity to for example, capture
terrorists in the United States are very different.
So did I just hear the President say, the rules are going to be
different?
Well, that's exactly what he said.
But that doesn't he didn't say no, we won't drone you. He just
said, Well, it's going to be easier to capture you probably.
So we won't have to, but the rules are just going to be
different. Yeah, that's what he said. He didn't say no, we're
not gonna he said, We're gonna drone American citizens on
American soil under different rules.
Well, he never said he never positively said that. They're
going to drone people. I didn't happen. Wait, he said, it hasn't
happened yet. Yet. Yet? Yeah. And we don't need to do it here
because we can grab somebody. No, he said the rules will be
different. He didn't say that, too. But he never said he never
positively said we will drone people, or we won't. He said he
didn't answer the question, in my opinion
safeguards in terms of how we conduct counterterrorism
operations outside of the United States. The rules out outside
the United States are going to be different than the rules
inside the United States, in part because our capacity to for
example, capture terrorists in the United States are very
different than in the foothills or mountains of Afghanistan or
Pakistan.
Now, to me, it means Yeah, I could probably drone you just
under different rules. No, I
think he he doesn't to say no, let's put it that way. Exactly.
Yeah, no, that's yeah, of course. I mean, we know this is
gonna happen every tick every so often, because we're always
predicting as a possibility at any at any given time, but it's
going to happen. Did this Dorner thing would have probably been a
drone job if the public hadn't turned against the whole thing.
Yeah. I mean, I'm just waiting for the whole public to be you
know, in synchronous going drone drone drone drone. Drone. Drone.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I just want to I want to set that again.
We're bloodthirsty monsters that we are the ones who invented the
game show. We lose our drone. co-inventor, sir Jeff Smith,
because you know, you have you have no show without, you know,
without imaging, because the mainstream media rips us off all
the time. I mean, all the effing time. Did you see this Velveeta
ad?
I can't imagine craft ripping us off.
Oh. Okay. So the only thing is because the only visual part of
the rip off that you won't hear in this 15 second spot is the
number 33 is on the display. You know that guy that's got a ham
radio in his basement.
He can talk to China, Mongolia and all Koreas and he eats
Velveeta shells and cheese. So who are you calling amateur?
Liquid Gold?
Ate like that guy you know? Okay, liquid gold number 33 Ham
radio. China's please. Is getting in you know, at least
they could have offered me the voice over
3333
me no 33 on the display. Well, we might as well get into it
right now. 33 of course was rampant rampant all over this
meteorite strike over Russia. 33,000 miles per hour. $33
million is what it's going to cost. Everything was 33
Yeah, I know. And why what is it? What is it? What did the
boat because it's been going on with it. People have just
started listening to our show should know that. We discovered
this 33 kind of meme that that we have no idea what what its
purpose is but it always tends to indicate some sort of a sham
or a scam or
a signal the signal yeah
Oh, wink kind of thing. We some sort, but we don't know who's
implementing it, how it got implemented. But it's shows up
far too often. In fact, there used to be a segment on this
show, which was stopped doing because it was just ridiculous.
We're out of here we go. Yeah, here's the magic number. And it
will be endless. And it always be sketchy stories. Okay, so
do you want to do I have a, I think a pretty solid theory on
why 33 showed up around this Russian media. Right? All right,
um, because this is clearly a 33 type story, obviously, first of
all, as a, as a renowned Nobel Prize winning astronomer, I
would love to hear your, your general take on what you saw on
these just fascinating video. I mean, so professionally shot and
so you know,
great. Well, I saw like a crashing plane in one video and
then just a streak and then all the good videos of course, were
were computer generated? Yes, yes. There was a few people
floating around with cuts on their faces. And people. And
they showed a big hole in the lake. Surely this hit delay
there. This is what's kind of weird. So this thing hits the
lake at 33,000 miles an hour. Lakes 33 I guess, put this round
perfectly round a hole in the lake. But if it was coming in
with that kind of impact it I think it would have drained the
lake. It would have drawn the lake completely into the air and
it would have just been a huge mess. And it would have there
wouldn't be a nice hole with ice around it. There would they
would have been blown. The ice sheet would have been blown to
smithereens. If this thing had hit that water at that speed. It
would have evaporated half the lake and blew the rest of the
lake into the into the woods. I mean, this is bullcrap.
Yeah. And did you notice how you know when when there's a cruise
ship with 4000 people pooping in bags, CNN sends everyone there
and they're on the scene and they're on the air for hours
covering it live as this thing goes
seven Poop, poop.
Poop gate. And this frickin meteorite explodes with the Oh,
and by the way, 33 times the Hiroshima bomb. I've heard that
one a couple times. 33 times, please. And it's like they send
one guy who happens to be in Moscow. They send them up there.
And then there's a bunch of guys like, hey, why don't go back,
you know, you're fulfilled here. You know, it's like a bunch of
rooskies. And then everyone's just accepting this, like, this
is normal. Whereas this has been the last time this happened. Do
you know what the last event of this magnitude of an exploding
meteorite?
I'm surprised when that knocked down the forest. That yeah,
there was an asteroid, I think.
Well, now I've learned that an asteroid becomes a meteorite
when it enters the atmosphere. But that was the Tunguska. Yeah,
that's the big one
that knocked down. Like something like 1000 square miles
of trees.
Yes. And that was in 1908. In Siberia, and it knocked down.
See how many because you still see the pictures of the trees.
And that was sick. I think that was a larger event than then
this was, but but I just have a couple questions before I get
into my theory here. So when when the sound of speed is 700
And what 62 miles per hour is like a 1200 Kilometer speed of
sound barriers. Peter sound Yeah. So the sonic boom, you
know, a sonic boom takes place over the the sound barrier. So
of course 33,000 miles an hour, does not mean that you get a
bigger boom. I mean, I don't understand how come when you
know when a jet breaks the sound barrier, you know, we don't have
walls crumbling and it's, I mean, is it the speed? Is it the
size of the object?
The distance I think from the work you're hearing that we
don't hear. So is it illegal to make a sonic boom in the United
States?
Oh, I shouldn't be arrested. I shouldn't be arrested. What? I
should be arrested. I made a sonic boom just this morning.
And you're talking to me about the master bass joke. Okay,
okay, so anyway, when I was a kid, a little kid
it was still legal to fly past the speed of sound and there
were booms all the time all day there would be at least in
California you would hear a sonic boom three or four times a
day and it was it was annoying. It was it was allowed to sound
like some blew up boom right but it was a shame it would shake
the place Yeah, but
but not like walls falling down and and glass shattering
everywhere. And I mean, there's
no but I would assume if they did the jet was right across the
street. It would probably do some damage. Well, then how do I
know that altitude and
how do they know was traveling 33,000 an MPH WHAT THE HECK grab
like a, there's a cop, like get it with the Ray Gun. You know,
it's like, who determine who determines all this? Who
determines this? And no one's asking any questions I have tons
of this is a huge event. This is not just like, wow, look at that
cool video, which is the way the media is treating it. So I get
all the 30 threes, I get the way the media is treating it, you
know, it's like I start to get like really, really antsy
because you know, this is this is not insignificant and the
timing of the thing,
the meteor shower in Russia, the asteroid some 17,000 miles away.
I think everyone really has two questions here. First
of all,
is there a connection here? And is there a difference between a
meteor shower and an asteroid help us out?
So when when the mainstream media is asking these questions,
I'm happy, but they're asking it of the frickin idiot with the
bowtie?
Oh, yeah. So there's no connection. In a sense, they're
independent orbits, but there's a connection in the sense that
they're both primordial objects in the solar system that
cross Yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
all ready. So Bill Nye the Science Guy, you know, he's
like, oh, there's no connection. Okay. There is definitely a
connection. And, and I think it's not that hard to figure
out. And, in fact, it is the elites and the elites, I can
name them and I shall name them who are directly responsible for
not this one, but for three events that took place. And I'm
going to connect these dots for you, which, for some reason, it
just is not not allowed to be done. Because, you know, I guess
if we knew the truth, we'd all be freaking out. Asteroids which
turn when pieces of it or when they break into the atmosphere,
become meteorites are extremely, extremely valuable. When we if
you have a little piece of of a meteorite rock, I mean, that's
that's you it's valuable, right, John? This that people who go
out and, and are looking for these all
right hunters. Yeah. And if you get a big enough one, I mean,
they can be worth millions of millions
of dollars millions of dollars, about a year ago to date. This
was the news reports.
They are some of the most influential and wealthiest men
on the planet. Google's Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, director
James Cameron X PRIZE founder Peter Diamandis and billionaire
Ross Perot, Jr. Together, these power players along with a
number of other incredible minds, planned to take on outer
space. If
you put to Google billionaires with a Microsoft billionaires
and some astronauts together, you can't go wrong.
Just what they're up to is still a mystery. They've announced
they could go wrong operation company to expand Earth's
resource base, creating a new industry and new definition of
natural resources. What does that mean? Diamandis gave Forbes
this hint since my childhood? Yeah, I've wanted to do one
thing be an asteroid
miner. That's
right. Okay. So the mining,
NASA is an agency to nowhere. And so we need private
enterprise, especially people with deep pockets to help
jumpstart the program. And maybe mining the heavens is just the
ticket. Okay,
so these guys started a company with the guy who you heard
saying he wanted to be an asteroid miner. He's the XPrize
guy and their company. Their idea was for is to get the
incredibly Dizzy we're talking billions of dollars off of an
asteroid because of the the minerals that are on I mean,
it's just it's unbelievable. How much riches can be found in an
asteroid. So NASA spearheaded this idea of tractor beaming,
they called it bezel bein be SS El, I think the bezel beam of
tractor beaming an asteroid and being able to control where it
will crash. So you could then go and get it. So these a holes
knew that this thing was so there's a definite connection
with this ad 13 2012 Asteroid which came really close. They're
all like, oh, wow, we got to get the tractor beam on this thing.
And you can call me nuts. But all of this is pretty well
documented. So they actually
wait wait, where is it? well documented what the tractor
beam?
Oh, you can just look at NASA's website have all the links in
the show notes? Yeah, no, not NASA Bing. I keep going. And
NASA has, you know, the three laser approach where they tried
to tractor beam the I'm just calling it a tractor beam but
they're trying to control the orbit of the of the asteroid and
control it to crash in a controlled fashion so they know
where to go and get it and hopefully so doesn't land on
someone's house. So they tried to do this with this. With this
end asteroid and it actually, they wound up either splitting
pieces of it off three times. So if you Google rolled us cn
foregoes. In Cuba, they had an asteroid explode on the 13th of
February. So our meteorite I should say, they had the exact
same event, then we had the one in Russia. And right after that,
they tried it over Northern California, John, they now I
don't know if it crashed or where it crashed. No one has
reported on that. But they tried to get this thing three times.
And all they were successful at is breaking off chunks of it
with their stupid lasers. And those are now exploding into our
atmosphere. That is what happened here. And for some
reason, we can't talk about the other two events. We can't talk
about what happened over Northern California. We can't
talk about happened over q but no one is talking about that. No
one. And no one is connecting the fact that these eight holes
are trying to track or being these asteroids and they are
putting us at risk. So it's kind of like a space war.
Well, borderline second half a show material, but it's it's
there we go. We do know that everything you said is accurate.
But we don't. But you've pieced it together in a unique way that
makes it sound awesome. And I would say that the coincidence
that is not that elusive. I mean, I find the same. I feel
the same way about it. You have this crazy asteroid, which by
the way may have been guided. Yes. Early on, Jim gets to get
to get so close. Yeah, because that's pretty close. I mean,
that didn't meet the imagined, you know, the vastness of space
at this thing comes between, it comes beneath at 17,000 feet. It
comes beneath where most of our communication satellites are,
and could have hit one but that's another long shot.
What I think I always find interesting is when I come up
with a story like this, which there's literally the Google
guys are saying your heroes hero of the stupid, you know,
everyone's on the Google. Everyone's on Google Plus we all
love Google's great. Oh, they're awesome. SpaceX, Elon Musk,
everyone's awesome, but when I actually call them what they're
doing, then I'm nuts. I'm just looking at the chat room. Yeah,
but the moon landing happened looking at the moon landing
happened that I should believe all that but this story is not
is crazy. Now I'm crazy. You can't have it both way people.
The we do know they're working on this stuff. And everybody
does know that these things are worth a lot of money. And I'm
still concerned though. There's a couple minor issues here. I'm
still concerned about the piece that sloughed off or was busted
off or or was cracked off or who knows that hit the Russia at
33,000 miles an hour and formed a perfect hole in a lake No,
they didn't find anything. They didn't find anything in the
lake. They just showed a hole on television. They didn't they
didn't find anything that like oh we can't find anything. Is it
a wholesome guy who was fishing for for beaver early or
whatever? Like ice fishing and it just just a hole? Or they
made this bullshit? There's no media right that came down there
this just showing you shit on TV and I can't believe you're
falling for it.
I didn't say I'm falling for it. I'm telling you that. I believe
something happened in Russia. But I don't believe that hole in
the ice has anything to know that because it doesn't make any
sense.
I think I think the meteorites story of it exploding is
probably true now whether they shot it or whether it was shot
out of the sky or whatever or it explodes upon impact with the
atmosphere.
I really shoot anything out of the sky.
I think that this is happening because they're messing with
these asteroids trying to get them and chunks are breaking
off. But why why is no one talking about what happened in
Cuba? Why is no one talking about what happened over over
Northern California? San Francisco? What would this it's
not newsworthy? It's not not the same event. Or we don't get it
well, it was just what do they have meteor showers every so
often to there's lots of these things. And you know people just
don't talk about meteors. They're not gonna nobody's gonna
think that you're covering this thing your you've dreamed up by
piece putting dots together that may or may not be connected.
It's just that no one's there's no way of what how do you prove
that any of this? We're on Mars. What? What?
Do you prove any of it? How do you prove how do you prove that?
It was I wasn't there. How do you prove that? It wasn't just a
television fakery? I mean, you can't go down that road with me
you know better than that.
Well, then we can't prove anything. This is just we're
just living in a world of dreams. Correct. There we have
it. This is why I said after Sandy Hook. This show has no
value for me. It's over. Because I'm computer generated. I'm not
real. I'm not really talking to you. I didn't know If I couldn't
be speaking to how I could be speaking to Watson
Yes, go to the doctor anyway.
So, you know, look I it's it's better than just showing the
video over and over again and going whoa, I'm gonna be
credible no one's I mean come on 3033 times the the atomic bomb
dropped on Hiroshima. This is not an insignificant thing to
gloss over.
No, I agree and if it started that, you know was what seven or
50 kilotons? I can't remember it's less than a mega ton or
maybe even a little far less than that. Yeah, it was
something like I don't know whatever it was, it was enough
to flatten the city. And if this is 33 times bigger it should
have taken it should have been like that tree event
it Tunguska.
Or, at least at least, Mount St. Helens
Yeah. And not and how come you know the science guy? And
perfectly
round hole in a lake that people go? Oh, look at the hole. It's
perfectly round.
It's like it was like the the silhouette of the plains in the
Twin Towers. Like wily Coyote. You know, you know how those how
the wings melted into those steel buildings? That was cool.
Let's just like that hole in the ice.
Great. We reorg in the show. No,
I didn't I didn't make up this meteorite. I didn't I didn't
invent this thing to happen. This is not second half of the
show material. This is top of the news over and over again. I
mean, come on.
It's probably the noon second half.
No, no, no, no, no. Well, you know what, I can edit it out of
order.
No, no, you're not editing in the morning to you John C.
Dvorak in the morning to you Adam curry and in the morning
till his ships at sea boots on the ground and subs in the water
also the feet in the air and and Dames at nights out there. And
big in the morning to Martin JJ for producing the artwork for
the previous episode of the Best podcast in the universe. No
agenda show. No agenda, art generator.com is up and running
and accepts new submissions, new artists can get on board. Thank
you very much for Paul, for fixing us up there and getting
that back up and running. And we can't wait to see it we're going
to have later on. And, you know, as I said, amidst all of the
midst of all of all of this craziness that's going on, we're
moving to a new to a new house and I need a name for it to
actually I can't be calling it can't mofo anymore. Since you
know this is kind of the camp and now we're moving in town. I
need to I need some suggestions for a new name.
I don't have anything. I don't even have a good name for my own
operation.
What do you mean the buzzkill bunker? I like that.
Yeah, it's up north. Oh, okay. Well, how about Silicon Valley?
And you know, why don't we just call it the vault? The Vault?
Yeah. Your place your place? No, it's not the vault it
is because it's your archive. It's in the vault. Everything's
in everything. There's an archive.
I'm an archivist.
We could call it the archive, the buzzkill archive or we could
call the den as in the hamster den.
No, no, no dents. I liked it. I liked the buzzkill in the
Midwest with the den. I'll meet you in the den. Biff
Biff well then maybe we keep it at
your own place before you start projecting
so sorry I didn't know you're gonna get off about it
all right, so I ended up Do we

startup juice writers.com We listen all the time in the shop.
Oh please de douche me and one hit of current What do you do
what you know most of the guys who have been boners for 488
shows. Do not get a DD wishing. And they'd most of them say I
don't I'm not clear yet to be deduced. So you want to give
them a D douching or not.
Ah, yeah, I'll give them the D I'm just looking at his. I love
the dichotomy. This is these look kind of dorky these

I've seen them around. Yeah.
I love the dichotomy of freedom of control. That's very funny. I

hipster douche bags. JC and Jesse buzzkill Jr. and his
fiance. Whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. But fiance. Always been a
no, no, no, no, we're paying it. It was girlfriend before i
i know girlfriend's a better word for me. But anyway, let's
go back to what I was gonna say. They were in Detroit for a week.
My father had a birthday or something. No, she's from
Detroit.
And he
says that the hipsters in the area are all black. Black
hipsters. Yeah. And they're all over Detroit. And they have a
completely different take on everything. That, you know,
hipsters see things differently. They see the world through
hipster eyes. And but the idea of black hipsters to me is just
unbelievably ludicrous.
Well, I don't understand. I don't see. I mean, what do you
mean?
I see hipsters. I've seen as I'm in California, we deal with
blacks that are around Oakland. And they wouldn't be drinking
Pabst Blue Ribbon.
You're so full of crap. What are you talking about?
There's not a black hipster in the air. What
are you talking about? How about the guy who was doing design? He
was a black hipster. I mean, are you are you What? Are you
insane? Designer guy, the. We had black hipsters all the time.
Anyone who worked in media was a hipster. We had Indian hipsters.
We had Chinese hipsters. What are you talking about? What are
you? What are you doing your concept? Do you ever see them
with the show? Portlandia word? No. They're highlighted.
No, I'm sorry. I don't have time for that. I'm watching C span.
Yeah, hipsters.
I'm not sure that you know what a hipster is. I certainly do
know what a hipster is your sociological insight on this.
What is a hipster then tells me
a hipster is someone who is borderline douchebag but has
cooler toys to go with it. There is a I'm telling you. But
hipster is not determined by color. I just disagree. I don't
think that there's
I'm saying there's black hipsters that are in Detroit.
They're not around here. I didn't say there weren't any. I
just thought it was odd because it doesn't make sense to anyone
from California. That would be a black hipster.
Yeah, well now you're getting into it as a socio economic
conversation where the Millia as you like to call it. Where were
you traveling just has very few black people. You just face it
your cracker with cracker friends and a cracker Millia you
live in cracker Ville. In Northern cracking, cracking
Fornia Seriously,
that's okay, weird. Now, I just want to find out if you knew
what a hipster was. And apparently you know
what is it will Texas What does a hipster you tell me that? I
don't know. I don't know Wikipedia. I don't know. I don't
know. You tell me.
John and Adam. It's a bonus time at my job since you two
knuckleheads keep me thoroughly educated and entertained. While
I slaved through my day. You've earned your piece of the pie.
Please give my wife a milk LG y as she's incubating our next
human resource and I assume he wants a karma with that.
That's one mother. I'd like to say. You've got karma I'm I'm
stunned.
So I guess why didn't you wanted to milk LG why? I guess LG y has
become a acceptable term now.
I'm just stunned that you're like, I just wanted to see if
you knew what a hipster wears. What is this bullshit? Do you
tell say that? That's what you just said? No, I
said you don't know what it is.
You're justice. John. Okay. You just said, I just wanted to see
if you knew what a hipster was. You literally just said that.
i You have to rewind the tape to prove that to me. Ah,
and then and I say, Well, what is it then? I don't know. And
I'm waiting for you to tell me and you told me to go to wiki
pedia. It's
a very divisive subculture, right? It is extremely complex
is not just some guys with whatever you set good taste, and
they and they dress well or whatever. They didn't say any of
this up definitions.
I didn't say any of that.
Well, it didn't say what you said again.
I said it's like a douche bag with better toys. That's what I
said. And then you're like, Well, I just want to see if you
knew it. You don't know what a hipster is. I just want to see
if you know what a hipster is. And well, scuze me. i But I
don't think hipster is is only white. And you know, Detroit.
It's it's especially after the demise of the city. It's an
urban black community. So of course you're gonna have
hipsters there. We have hipsters. Every I mean, I just
didn't understand what you were saying. And now it's like, no,
you don't know what a hipster is. Well, tell me what? You
can't tell me either.
Well, I'll read it from the Urban Dictionary. Well, okay, if
you
want to cheat. Sure. Of course. Okay. I
told you it's a it's a complex subcultures. Nothing. You can
just say two things are douchebags with better with
better toys? I mean, that is not what a hipsterism that I mean, I
understand what a douchebag with better toys is, but that seems
more like a Silicon Valley guy. They're all that.
Okay, then tell me what it is.
You know, you actually have to read this. I bet. This is longer
than the longest messages. You really have to read this or I
don't know. I mean, I can spot a hipster when I see when we have
a bunch of Buzz hipster bars in Berkeley. Anyway,
thank you all very much culture had
for their 20s and 30s. That value independent thinking
counterculture, progressive politics, and appreciation of
art in indie rock, creativity and intelligence and witty
banter, banter. That's not my best definition either. The
greatest concentrations of hipsters are found living in
Williamsburg Wicker Park in the Mission District in San
Francisco, and all of Portland by my dad, which is not in here.
This is not a good day.
I'm done with it. I'm tired. I don't care. Good. You brought up
this thing in the middle of the donation.
Stuff that he came across, but you wouldn't let me it's not
funny, or black hipsters. They're all over the place.
They're everywhere. And it completely whatever I was gonna
say is I
don't even remember what you're gonna say. Okay, you said it.
You said all the hipsters were black. And I was like, that's
what you interrupted the donation segment for I'm sorry.
That's all and there was more there was something related to I
just didn't get it.
Yeah, because you wouldn't let me finish. Okay. Oh, wait.
That's all we have for an executive producers for show.
488 I want to remind people to go to Dvorak. That org slash na.
To hear more of this bickering come back to the show on
Thursday. We will have another live presentation at nine. But
we do need some help. So give us a some thought challenge of
orc.com/n A the no agenda show.com And no agenda
nation.com have donate buttons. You can click on those to
vorak.org/in a route. If you're a hipster not you can always go
and propagate the formula Put your hat on backwards. So is
this we go out? We hit people in the mouth
Okay, I got one for you. I have an ask Adam.
Oh, gee, I don't know. I'm I'm not really feeling the love
right
now. Okay, we won't do it then. You know,
because I'm not letting you say whatever incredibly funny thing
you're gonna say and I'll quit
admiring you. Ah, okay.
All right. So what you were doing while you're sitting there
sulking for some unknown reason. And by the way, you could look
up the hipster and do a research. I was spending all my
time listening to the hearings on the military budget. And I
have never seen anything like these guys complaining bitterly.
But in the process of listening to all the hearings, they found
out a couple of interesting things because these guys can't
stop talking. And so They kind of throw in certain kinds of
weird information out of the blue. And I got a couple clips
here, I want to, maybe you can figure this out, but play the
talking too much clip and tell me what this might be about.
Yeah, thanks, Senator. And I should mention, by the way that
in addition to the effect in the Pacific of the Army, we're also
we're in the process of moving significant marine United States
Marine Corps forces into the Pacific and in General Amos can
speak to that.
What? They're moving the Marines to the Pacific. Why? I don't
know. I thought that was peculiar that there. But I also
thought was peculiar that he's talking about of class. Now,
unlike your snide remark, I did watch these hearings all day
actually, as I was packing, and the only thing that was going
well, there's only two things going on here. One is someone at
some point in the history of the United States, armed forces
decided it would be cooler if the generals, epaulets were
instead of on their shoulders were going over their shoulders.
I don't know when this started, but it makes them look very
cool. Like they're in Starfleet Command or something. So this is
the one thing that's happened. The second thing is, they're all
up there bullshitting about increase cuts in their increase
in spending. And they're trying to frighten everyone by saying,
Oh, we won't have a war machine, we won't be able to protect the
homeland, or the terrorists are gonna get the airplanes. It's
all gonna come crashing down. We're all gonna die if you
sequester us. That's all. That's all I saw over and over and over
again.
Yes, exactly. But the plate that what? Here's liberty, here's a
couple different ones. I got these guys. These guys are
whining. And you have to realize that the sequester? Well, let's
get to the actual, what is the number one plate 46 billion is
the number.
Okay. For some reason, my pad is not cooperating.
The problem comes in two tiers. The first is that sequestration,
which is scheduled to kick in in just two weeks time, requires us
to subtract from our budget for the remainder of fiscal year
13 $46 billion.
Okay, now, if you keep that in mind, and you realize that the
budget for 2013 is 615 billion, that is 7%. Right? So now play
Air Force 30% And tell them and try to deconstruct what they're
saying. If it's 7% Why are they? Why are they going nuts
that deprives our air force of over 31 point 5 million man
hours of productivity and specialized expertise this year,
it will result in a loss of over 200,000 flying hours. While we
will protect flying operations in Afghanistan and other
contingency areas, nuclear deterrence and initial flight
training. roughly two thirds of our active duty combat Air Force
units will curtail home station training beginning in March and
will drop below acceptable readiness levels by mid May.
Most will be completely non mission capable by July
sequestration will cut 30% of our remaining Weapon System
sustainment funds, which means we'll need to postpone
approximately 150 aircraft and 85 engines from depo induction,
creating a backlog that could take years for us to recover.
The Airforce its global vigilance, reach and power make
it one of America's premier asymmetric advantages, but
strategic agility and responsiveness require a high
state of readiness. Sacrificing that readiness jeopardizes the
many strategic advantages of airpower. And from a parochial
Air Force perspective, sequestration will have an
immediate effect on our ability to respond to multiple
concurrent operations around the globe. Something we've been
asked to do many times in the past along with our sister
services. Longer term sequestration cuts to Air Force
modernization will impact every one of our investment programs.
These program disruptions will over time cost more taxpayer
dollars to rectify contract breaches and and time delay and
efficiencies, raise unit costs and delayed delivery of
validated capabilities to warfighters in the field.
We're all gonna die. You're gonna die. We're all gonna die.
7% How does 7% equate to cutting back everything by two thirds,
and then dropping like five and 30% of everybody? Well, what?
I'm not gonna get a pen and try to explain to me how 7% equates
to what he just said. No, it doesn't.
And the whole thing is there was repeats of it this morning. It's
just irksome. It's just irksome that people are sitting up there
lying and I mean, it's gonna come on man. It's a frickin show
all the the They're in Congress and people just asking him
stupid questions. They don't give a crap. If Have you watched
house of cards yet? Have you been able to see that? Have you
seen? No,
you're like that. This would be like number 78 of people. Right?
I only mentioned or I go to see my doctor, just a regular
routine appointment. And he asked me if I went to if I've
seen the house of cards, your provider, it's supposed to be
the most popular show in the world, your provider? You mean?
My provider? Yes.
Your provider? Well, no, but it's specifically shows you how,
how it works, you know, which bases get closed, which it's,
you look at that. They're not even lying about it. The
military, the military industrial complex, is the
single largest employer in the United States. And maybe in the
universe. I mean, this is this is our economy. This is
everything. So when it's 200, you know, look, these, it's an
across the board cut. So it's just like, you don't get to
like, you know, get rid of a couple drones, you know, it's
everything. It's employment. So, of course, this has been the
setup from day one. I'm convinced when the United States
is meant to go into a spiral. And this, by the way, was the
President's idea. It was his idea of the secret station. He's
now he denies it
is his idea. I mean, come on, we all saw we all heard him. It was
his idea. And he is he is the antichrist here to take us down
into the blackest hole of death.
So So here's the undersecretary of state now again, remember
7% 7% Somehow he equates this with 20%. By the way, he's then
he's gonna become a martyr, and I guarantee he'll never do what
he says in this 150 Give back
clip. Oh, here it is. Okay.
institute a process of furloughing them, which we will
do consistent with the law and our requirements to you. But the
net of it is that many of them will be furloughed for as many
as 22 days before now, before April 1, say and the end of the
year, in other words, a fifth of their paycheck. Gone. So that's
a real human impact. And I've said, I, I can't be furloughed
under the law because I'm a presidential appointee. But I'm
going to give back a fifth of my salary in the last seven months
of the year if other people in the department are getting
sequestered. So there's
bullcrap. So, now 1/5 of the salary of your salary is 20%.
How is that equate to the 7%, which is the calculation of what
the sequester is? Alright, so
now I understand why you mocked me and all because you you had
you did all this work? You should I should have just let
you start the show every single time so that you're in the right
mind frame and move it along. I get it. They're lying. What's
the next? What's the next line?
Okay, well, I just want to do the big lie then. Okay. Okay. We
have a defense budget of $618 billion, play the $687 billion
clip.
I understand, Mr. Chairman, and I've long understood that the
Department of Defense must contribute to the resolution of
the nation's fiscal situation. And that is why we have
accommodated $487 billion in cuts last year, what
way to a minute, play that back? Let me rewind the tape. Hola.
Ahlers crap have to rewind even further
situation. And that is why we have accommodated $487 billion
in cuts,
maybe? Well, maybe he's talking about over a 10 year period?
Because that's what it seems to be.
He says last year.
Last year.
Yeah. But I think he's saying that last year, they
accommodated for the 487 billion in cuts over a 10 year period.
But it sounds good this way.
And before that Undersecretary Gates made several 100 billion
dollars of additional cuts in defense spending, largely by
removing unneeded or underperforming programs. We're
also making as you referenced
a second. So he says there's another 200 billion that we've
taken out of the budget for unnecessary programs. How is
that? A cut? I have a house across the street that is
burning to the ground. I think I should sell it because I never I
never go there and never use it. Is that not necessarily that I
own it? Yeah, it's bull crap. Yeah. Yeah. So so but it's not
getting
any play. You see big As we've had, you know, asteroids
exploding and people pooping in bags on ship decks on the poop
deck, no one cares. No one cares anymore.
So they don't care. So the question that's always been on
my mind got two more things to point out here. One of the
questions always been on my mind is why the Republicans turn on
one of their own Chuck Hagel. Oh,
because he's an aihole. And the guy is a confused baboon.
I think you've bought into it. Well, my one thing, that's one
of the things that keeps coming up, oh, well, he doesn't know
how to manage his way out of a paper bag. He This is the
world's biggest corporation. He doesn't know how to manage
anything. This is a figurehead job. I
think something else I what I actually believe is that this
guy is meant to fail. They've got someone waiting in the
wings, it's kind of the Condoleezza Rice. The Susan Rice
says strategy, let someone you know, throw someone out there.
It was meant to fail, and then pop up someone you know, because
John Kerry, boom, he got confirmed guys in that that took
note, no time at all, for that big water head to get in there.
And immediately, you know, they turned around and his wife sold
everything to Buffett. You know, it's all coincidental, I'm sure.
I think
it's I think it's because the guy's a threat. And Ollie and
this might in this is an interesting part of the
hearings. Mike Lee, that guy from Utah, who's I think is just
hilarious. Yeah. He, he brought up something that, first of all,
this is the Senate. So the Senate is run by the Democrats,
so they won't give any Republican much time to do
anything. So Mike Lee's told him make sure he's within the
timeframe because they got to get to this woman who's got some
who just comes on essentially, does everything short of me. She
just throws roses at that these guys and you know that they want
to rush to her. So he's actually a really good question. He gets
it out of his mouth, within one minute and 10 seconds, according
to the tape. And the he asked for this joint chiefs to say
something about this did they never do that associate that
Assistant Secretary of the undersecretary, the guy who just
said that they saved six aren't at 7 billion last year. He hogs
the next two minutes with a bunch of bullshit which I cut
short. I just cut it off. But what's really funny is when he
asked the question, and he asked the joint chiefs to say
something, they all kind of giggle.
So this is the Mike Lee vs. Clip. Yeah, questions. So
please, if you would certainly stick right to that. So Senator
Jaylen Brown of the next
great, thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. And I will be as brief
as I as I can possibly be here. On December in December 2012.
Senator Chuck Hagel, the nominee to become the Secretary of
Defense, sat for an interview with financial times. And when
he was asked about outgoing Secretary Panetta has comments
that budget sequestration would be disastrous to national
defense. Senator Hagel replied as follows. The Defense
Department, I think, in many ways, has been bloated. The
Defense Department has gotten everything that's wanted. The
last 10 years and more we've taken priorities, we've taken
dollars, we've taken programs, policies out of the State
Department, out of a number of other departments and put them
over in defense, the abuse and waste and the fraud is
astounding. I think the Pentagon needs to be pared down. I think
we need the Pentagon to look at their own priorities. We are
pressed for time. So I would if I could like to have each of the
Joint Chiefs go down the line and just briefly if you can
answer with a yes or no answer whether you agree with this
general characterization that Senator Hagel made that'd be
great.
Let me remember the Joint Chiefs for let me let me try it's a
good question. It's it's a fair question. And I don't I can't
speak for for Senator Hagel. But
okay, little anticlimactic.
So he doesn't vi No, because it just it's all he does is drone
on about nothing. And then the time is done in the not one
joint chief guy want any of the cheese of any of the of the says
anything? It's
it's prediction time on the McLaughlin group project, drones
drone should have
nothing? No, I
mean, you have to so the, they have like 10 days or two weeks
or whatever. And then if if we haven't worked out, which
didn't, which will not happen, I'm sure. Then sequestration
goes and so what do you think? Will it be another kick kick the
can down the road? That's my bet. Yeah. Yeah. How will they
do it this time, though, just with some new phony baloney
legislation.
I have no idea. They always have a new trick up their sleeves.
Well,
this is what we were. We were warned for. We were warned about
the military industrial complex. And here we are. It's taken over
in 2001 Donald Rumsfeld the day before 911 said, Hey, there's $2
trillion unaccounted for at the Pentagon. And of course, there's
still no no audit, no one knows what's going on. But here in the
United States of Gitmo nation, we're perfectly happy with that.
And because, you know, we've got our house of cards on our
Netflix, and we can go see the fake version of what's going on.
And everyone is pacified, and the history is told through the
telescreens. Now, Lincoln, that's exactly how it went down.
You know, we're going to put that DVD into all the schools
and teach all the little slaves exactly how it's working, except
for the few people. And I say, few who listened to this
program. And there are others, but the not many, and we're
dwindling. And understand that you are totally living inside
the matrix. And this is all one big show.
So So watching this, and then playing the clips, you know, the
cut them down a little bit, something emerged that I thought
was another thing out of class that I didn't know about this,
I, I've heard about it. It's like kind of baffling we know
about the New World Order, and all this sort of thing. But
there's this thing called the defense strategy. And I have
three clips. This is the first time it was mentioned, or the
second one of the two, but this is the first mention I have
here. First a mention of a defense strategy. And that kind
of piqued my interest. Okay.
Preterm what you have this year in the next few months is a true
crisis in military readiness. If the caps imposed, that
accompanies sequester are continued for the next 10 years,
as is the plan in the Budget Control Act, we were going to
have to change our national defense strategy. Those cuts are
too large to sustained for us to implement the strategy that we
crafted under the President's guidance just one year ago.
Oh, wait a minute. Is this a Gantt chart? I have missed
somewhere that someone had, I think you have Is there a
PowerPoint of this defense strategy? What is the here's
what I think the strategy is, is a big funnel. And and that
funnel is is all of the Human Resources of America go in that
funnel and then meet pink slime comes out the bottom which feeds
their machine?
Well, that's possible. But that's not it turns out the
here's the, let's play. The second mention, again of the
defense strategies, apparently they're really preoccupied with
this is the problem this, whatever this is,
of equal concern, we will irreversibly damage the
industrial base that we depend upon to build and maintain our
ships and aircraft. Under the circumstances, we assess your
Navy will be limited in its ability to provide the
capability and capacity called for in the current defense
strategy. The Navy will be unable to execute all the naval
force requirements. So the combatant commanders
national defense strategy seems to be seems to be out there
seems to be very clear what this is. It's,
it's turns out that the marine guy who is who seems to be you
know, just as stiff characters is very serious about
everything. He outlines the defense strategy that I didn't
know we had.
You know, where does he in which tape does he do this?
It says defense strategy outlined who that will risk,
risk to our strategy, risk to our forces, risk to our people,
and lastly, risk to our nation. Regarding strategy, maintaining
a free international economic system and adjust international
order, are linchpins to our defense strategic guidance. Hi,
everybody. The effects of disruption to this global order
are readily observed. You can see the effects of the global
order being disturbed and roller coaster energy prices,
fluctuating global markets, sovereign behavior, and economic
uncertainty, you
must stop with sovereign behavior. You must all give your
sovereignty to us
failing to provide leadership and the collective security of
this global order would have significant economic
consequences for the American people. Worse, the lapse in
American leadership would create a void in which old threats
would be unaddressed and new security challenges would find
room to grow. All
right, here it is. Oh,
by the way,
I wasn't ready for it. Now wait a minute. Let's
drop Sheesh.
That is an evergreen that is an evergreen. This is I mean, this
is is Hitler. This guy's Hitler. Literally will order it would
you hear what he's saying? Yes, I
know. And by the way, if you if I clipped the rest of this which
is going on and on, not who this was the main part He uses the
same sovereignty gag, you just said you've got he says the
sovereignty issue. It's a problem. You know, in other
words, these other countries, they they kowtow to us on a new
global order. So we keep our prices low.
It's unbelievable. This is this, ladies and gentlemen, this is
the true President of United States speaking to you,
who was this guy is the head of the chief of the Marines,
okay, he's the big boss, he knows what's going on. He
shouldn't have said this,
I thought that he was out of school that are playing whatever
that term is where you're talking outside that, you know,
you're outside the ring, and you're dealing, you're letting
the truth out just
now, but it's a written statement he's reading from a
written statement is obviously that is obvious that he's
reading. But I mean, I mean, you know, do you mind if we just do
it again, and take it bit by bit because this is, this is, this
is what the President of the United States really is, is
representing he is, of course, all presents are figureheads.
These are the guys who really run the show. Now, by the way,
coincidentally, the ones who have all the guns risk, let's
just let's do it, again,
risk to our strategy, risk to our forces, risk to our people.
And lastly, risk to our nation.
So notice who's last the nation, its risk to his strategy, risk
to his people risk to his arms risk to all of his stuff. And
then lastly, he even says, And then lastly, the bottom, you
know, right behind where I poop on, that's the nation. So this
is the arrogance and the hubris of this cocksucker
regarding strategy, maintaining a free international economic
system and adjust international order, or linchpins toward
defense strategic guidance.
Now, when he says when he says free, does he mean like free as
in beer? Or does he mean free as in our way? What do you think?
You know, this whole thing was, I've listened to this, this clip
a lot myself, and it's like, it's just the weirdest thing
I've ever heard that. I don't know what he means. Like, I
think the word overeat I mean, you know, essentially, we're
forcing you know, this is the old well, as well, as long as
they form a democracy that we approve of and all we'll make
sure that the great guy gets elected.
Exactly, that's exactly what it is. It's like you will be free.
Freedom is slavery. Slavery is freedom. Black is white. This is
doublespeak. So free means you have to be free of tyrants and
whatever else we can free you from. That's what I totally
agree.
The effects of disruption to this global order are readily
observed. And roller coaster energy prices, fluctuating
global markets, sovereign behavior, and economic
uncertainty.
So first of all offering behaviors
two things were in there one screw the free market because
this causes these up and down spy crazy rollercoaster Free
Market Capitalist system does Zachary always. And by the way,
he shouldn't have that he shouldn't
be he should be blowing up the the the gas station dudes, the
refineries, I mean, these, they're setting the prices.
And another bad thing he mentioned that little clip he
should play again, sovereign behavior
Don't be so are you crazy? Are you trying to be sovereign? So
this means a number of things. Can I tell you that there's a
double meaning to this? Have you heard of the sovereign man
movement? Yeah, that's part of this. That's I'm telling you,
when you because of course, you're gonna you're sovereign,
I'm sovereign. Every human beings should be a sovereign
person,
this will get his drone.
This is this here. It's a problem that people are behaving
like their sovereign, not just nations, because he doesn't say
solve this as a sovereign nations or just say sovereign
behavior and behavior. havior. So if you're just you're just
trying to be a sovereign human being, you need to submit slave
risk,
risk to our strategy, risk to our forces, risk to our people.
So I went back, I rewind the tape a little too far, but it's
good. And lastly,
risk to our nation. Regarding strategy uses the word
Lastly, yeah, I told you, it's like Lastly, the bottom row
underneath the poop,
maintaining a free international economic system and adjust
international order, or linchpins,
I love the just international order. Just it's got to be fair
and righteous and just according to our rule or
defense strategic guidance. The effects of disruption to this
global order are readily observed in roller coaster
energy prices, fluctuating global markets, sovereign
behavior, and economic uncertainty.
I'm telling you His sovereign behavior, he's talking about
people trying to be me he's not talking about countries. This is
your right this is the drone clause,
failing to provide leadership in the collective security of this
global order.
V coming We all bicycles
would have significant economic consequences for the American
people. Wow. Wow. Worse, the lapse in American leadership
would create a void in which old threats would be unaddressed and
new security challenges would find room to grow.
This is very interesting. This this, I think something big is
he's saying the lack of leadership. In other words, you
know, if we get rid of the President, or if the lame duck
basically, the President has no, you know, has no say in the
matter, then I think I think he's saying that, that, you
know, there'll be chaos, or, you know, like martial law or, you
know, one of the this is the stuff that makes people crazy,
by the way, this kind of talks are
quences for the American people. Okay, that helped me with this
last bit, John,
well, before you go into that deconstruction of something he
said in there, I just thought of that. He says, what he, the
basis of what he's even talking about is the sequestration he's
going to, and the other guy, same thing is going to screw up
this so called defense strategy, which is not a defense strategy.
So it's a very aggressive, some money making strategy, use
across some strategies or defenses for the offense and
offensive strategy. He says,
Yeah, go go kick everyone's ass and take their shit. He says
that there's this flexion with this crazy fluctuations. Wait a
minute, in the gas prices crazy.
It's crazy. We've got to, we've got to stop that.
But they are already writing as we speak, all the fluctuations
have taken place before this sequestration. So they haven't
done anything about it. In other words, we had all this we had
the big budget, and we know it ended and the gas prices are
flying around, which is no good. And now it's gonna they're gonna
start the gas prices are going to start flying around, which is
no good if they take some more money away from us. No, no, no,
no, no, no, that's not true. I think he's saying something
different. I think he was he clearly said that we're seeing
evidence of this lack of leadership is already leading
to, you know, what we have in the world and we need to do we
need to continue on the path, our strategy to stop the crazy
free market system and the sovereign citizen system, the
citizens sovereign citizen movement, we have to stop that.
That's what I'm hearing him say is like, you know, we're on a
mission. This is the mission. This is why we're in Africa.
This is why we're all over Asia. This is why we're all over the
Middle East is where these guys truly believe that in ordered
for America, for America, they're America their stars and
stripes and apple pie, and no anal sex America, that that that
has to be annihilated, we have to have calm and peace and
smooth sailing and a glass ocean and a nice breeze and none of
this crazy stuff that is caused by by a RABs. I mean, these guys
are insane, John, that that this guy should be taken out of his
job immediately and locked in irons, these people are
dangerous.
And here's the kicker kind of this guy, they headed the chief
of the Marines, the Chief of Staff of the Marines. The
earlier clip by the Joint Chiefs of Staff had that little guy,
Gabby Hayes. They're moving the Marines to Asia.
Remember the earlier? Yep, yes, yes, yes. Yes,
sub something is up
the Mediterranean. Specifically, I thought he said that it was
the Mediterranean.
Oh, it's just they're moving the Marines to Asia. Let's just
listen to it again.
Yeah, thanks, Senator. And I should mention, by the way that
in addition to the effect in the Pacific of the Army, we're also
we're in the process of moving significant marine United States
Marine Corps forces into the Pacific and in General Amos can
speak to that
though the Pacific. Okay, well, they're training with the
Japanese. So I'm pretty sure that we're doing you know, when
we're training with the Japanese, right? Did
you know that Hillary was apparently over in Japan as one
of her last missions to goad the Japanese to changing their
constitution so they can have a full blown army? Well, in other
words, a non not right now. They can only have defensive forces,
and now they're
needed do instead of the DOD, it should be the D O. I like what
you said there's the Department of offense. We don't have a
Department of Defense, Department of offense.
Well, it used to be a department of offense. It was called The
War Department. Oh,
well, we need that again.
I think so. Should we go? I should go back and call it the
board of defense, the War Department, which it used to be
called. We didn't have any wars.
department of Krieg there click that thing department. I don't
know what is it? What was it call the War Department or
department? Right? Well, let's just call it war department
then. These people are dangerously insane to play the
last 10 minutes where he's saying that it's all going to go
to shit
worse. The lapse in American leadership would create a void
and Which old threats would be unaddressed? Okay,
so I get it. So the lapse in American leadership leadership,
he means killing people offensively all over the globe.
That's his version of leadership. So if we don't lead
the forces in in stopping these free markets of energy and
everything and minerals, if we don't lead in that as leaders as
leaders of the killers of the world, then old problems like
the old old stuff like the communists, I think, yes, the
commies are going to come and get us and al Qaeda and we'll
have terrorists all over the place that's what I'm hearing
invest
in new security challenges for the phone room to grow with us
wonderla
hinterland the homeland but be very, very unsafe. The
Department of Law has spoken insane it's just it's, it's I'm
so ashamed. I'm deeply ashamed. I'm ashamed.
Yeah, well, well, let me the way things are going we're gonna
have to cut your salary by 1/5
which is a 7%.

No. It's pretty good. Anyway, so we're screwed. Yeah, I have to
say that. I don't know why I wanted it. There was something I
just turned that thing on it just something caught my
attention that I knew there was a gem in there somewhere. And
that marine guy, no, no,
this is this might this is possibly clip of the year to
date.
I don't know about that. Oh, come on this order.
I just No, no, it's not even that I just put it into the
Evergreen bin. We've got to bring this one out from time to
time when you know when we're out there, you know, stopping
the crazy roller coaster or oil prices. You know when we're when
we're doing that? No, of course. How's gas doing by the way? Not
the President spoke about only again. Well of course the
President talked about gas for like 10 minutes during the the
State of the Union.
Yeah, it went up about 20 cents. How come
he didn't I'm not I'm not saying so gas liquid gas. liquid
natural gas is what I'm talking about.
You know that that stuff is weird at that is a I'm talking
about perpetual depression. It's actually ridiculously cheap.
It's still under
$3 Is that word because it has to be over $3 for them to make
money. We know this.
Let's see. Just take a look.
Because, you know I I'd have to say it was pretty unreal that
the President not once mentioned nuclear energy in the State of
the Union.
Yes. 315 But it dropped a little bit. Penny.
Okay. That's yeah, no, no. I've seen I have seen the gasoline
prices go up. It was $3.11 sense before we like a month ago
bought some gas $4.30
Yeah, well you're California. And now it's 350
Anyway, gold's down 26 bucks
time to buy it's a buying opportunity. Anyway I wanted to
so this has been that kind of an interesting show so far I'm
sorry I have some hipster thing is a hipster toy is going off in
the background I want to take just a moment here to play this
little clip it was sent to us by one of our producers I think you
receive it as well. This is a great clip from the 50s Maybe
it's got to be late 50s I guess of Rod Serling Did you see the
clip that was sent to us by our yeah it's
it was part of a one of his old interviews was quite
interesting. This is the one is just the one about how he Yeah,
this is a good so actually this is before
before he before the Twilight because he was a producer actor
writer before the Twilight Zone, which is he's most famous for I
guess what are the things that did Rod Serling do
the Muslim for a heavyweight? He wanted crapload of awards for
his dramas.
I mean, the guy was awesome. And it's cool because it's funny it
Mickey was was taking some stuff off the wall while I'm recording
this clip. And she says she couldn't see it. But she said
while the guy really talks old fashioned said yeah, there's an
interview from 1950s Oh, wow. Can you know because it is kind
of the 1950s vibe and I think he's talking to who's the big
CBS guy? Morrow isn't?
I don't know who he's talking to. I was in color wasn't
Morrow?
No, it was black and white. And any smokin on camera too, which
is kinda useless. Yeah. Well, he
lives smoking. Yeah, but it's still cool that he's just
smoking on camera. I just knew they
all do that smoking. Gun is intro under. Awesome. I mean,
can't you put it down for one minute rod.
So this is from the the more things change, the more they
stay the same? 1950s. And one of the reasons why we have our
value for value model here on no agenda.
Pre censorship is a practice. I think of most television
writers. I can't speak for all of them. This is the Nexus Mike
Wallace, prior knowledge of the writer of those areas, which are
difficult to try to get through. And so a writer will shy away
from writing those things which he knows he's going to have
trouble with on the spot soil or an agency. Exactly. We practice
it all the time, we just do not write those things, which which
we know are going to get into trouble. Who's the culprit? Is
it the network? The sponsor? Mature is not the SEC. No, it's
certainly not the FCC, ideally speaking, of course, it's a
combination of culprits in this case, Mike, it's partly network.
It's principally agency and sponsor. In many ways, I think
it's the audience themselves. How do you mean? Well, I'll give
you an example. About a year ago, roughly 11 or 12 months
ago, on the Lassie show. This is a story usually told by Sheldon
Leonard, who was then associated with the show. Last he was
having puppies. And I have two little girls than age five and
three, who were greatly enamored of this beautiful Collie. And
they watched the show with great interest. And Lassie gave birth
to puppies. And like it was probably one of the most
tasteful and delightful and warm things depicting what is this
this this wondrous thing that is birth. And after the show, I
think there were many congratulations all around,
because it was a lovely show. This sort of thing. I'd love my
kids to watch to show them what is the birth process and how
marvelous it is. They got many, many cards and letters, sample
code from the deep south this was if I wanted my kids to watch
SEC shows, I wouldn't have had a turn out that I could take them
to burlesque shows. And as a result of the influx of mail,
many of the cards incidentally, Sheldon tells it repost mic at
identical moments, all in the same handwriting, but each was
counted as a singular piece of mail. And as a result, the
directive went down that there would be no shows having
anything to do with puppies, that is in the actual birth
process. Well, obviously it is this wild lunatic fringe of
letter writers that greatly affect what the sponsor has in
mind. You can understand the position of the sponsor in many
ways I suppose I can he's there to push a product he has a
considerable stake doesn't what goes on the air. Most assuredly.
And in those cases, where we were there was a problem of
public taste, in which there is a concern for for eliciting
negative response from a large mass of people I can understand
why they guys are frightened. I don't understand like for
example, other ever This is an instances of intrusion by
sponsors, for example, in Playhouse 99, a year ago, a
lovely show called Judgment at Nuremberg, I think probably one
of the most competently done and artistically done pieces that
night. He's done all year. And, as you recall, mentioned was
made of gas chambers. And the line was deleted, cut off the
cut off, cut off the soundtrack. And it might get a little of
these guys at the gas involved and concentration camp was
cyanide, which bore no resemblance physical or
otherwise to the gas you had installed. They cut the line
because the sponsor was did not want that awful Association made
between what was the horror and the misery of Nazi Germany with
the nice chrome wonderfully antiseptic ly clean, beautiful
kitchen appliances that they were selling. This isn't is an
example of sponsor interference, which is so beyond logic and
which is so beyond taste. This I rebel against, you've got a new
series coming up called the Twilight. So.
So of course, the most important part of that piece is really at
the beginning, where he talks about the pre censorship where
these topics just just not even broach that just don't even come
up just not even just because it'll never work. You can never
You can't say that you can't air that you can't do this, you
can't do that. And, and if you do, then, well, look, they will
have letter writers, which of course is all bullcrap. But
people go after the sponsors.
Know, and I've talked about this a lot, as a writer. And because
people always like, you know, the argument is, well, you know,
Microsoft is telling you guys what to write. And by the way,
Microsoft's not the worst actor in this kind of thing. And then
you sit. And it's really ironic that people would say, well, we
cite Microsoft, especially when you write for PC Magazine,
because Microsoft was one of the louses advertisers they never
didn't ever advertise. They don't have any, any any push at
all. But anyway, but what they do have is a lot of public
relations, because it used to they don't do this much anymore.
And I think that's really hurting them. But they used to
be hounded you hound the editor, I'm arguing I'm gonna run that
guy stuff. So there's a point where you where you can come out
and honestly, say, for example, as a writer, you can honestly
say, I have never been told ever what to write. And of the but
then again, you have some stuff that's rejected occasionally.
And then you can kind of figure out what not to write. But you
can always say that and you say with, honestly, because most of
the time, you're just self censoring. You just say, I'm
like, What's the point? am I wasting my time turning this in?
When it's gonna get kicked back? I'm at the right, something
else.
Right. Which is which, by the way, when the whole download
fiasco happened with Apple's iOS six, you even said that to me?
Because I said, Look, here's the evidence. Here's what's going
on. Here's how the logs work. Here's what's the here's how
they've changed a TCP stack. They got all kinds of shit going
wrong on the inside with your iPhone, and it's costing us
money. It's costing all kinds of people headaches, and money and
problems. And I think you literally said, you know, what's
the point of trying to write a column, they're just going to
knock it away, and an apple won't answer. And they'll never
happen. It's just it's not going to happen,
right. And this is another secondary effect, which I should
mention to people that you want the inside scoop, which is you
will occasionally have something like that piece, which I wasn't
going to write, like you said, I just wasn't going to write. And
the reason is, is because it does this kind of thing. And you
want to put it a high profile spot. But it goes like this.
This is an interesting thing you've done have you did you get
response from Apple? Yeah. And you call up again, I get a
response. So you put you could say you have they won't call me
back? Well give it a try somebody else you got sure you
can get somebody to say something. They won't say
anything. In fact, you had contact or they wouldn't even
talk to you and you weren't writing anything. Yeah, so then
he
was calling them assholes that might have documented better
as well as you know, you can you prove this you know what you
did? You got some some laws. Was this just happening? And once
you start getting grilled about the details, because there's
more than just a simple opinion, you're accusing you do right?
When you do accusatory writing, you have to have some time to do
it. And then they don't pay anybody anymore. Another
newspapers do and magazines for sure. They don't pay anybody
enough to spend days and days and days researching something,
it is a loser, have an idea. And then it doesn't have any effect
because Apple fixes that thing eventually, anyway. You know, so
what did you accomplish? Did you make them go faster? Did you
make Did you embarrass the company was out the idea just to
try to humiliate them. I mean, it's it's a waste of time. And
that's the way that all the media works. The only reason
that this show is so good, is because we have no constraints.
I mean, we can bicker about hipsterism for 10 minutes and
that's too bad.
And the good news is you can fast forward and you can rewind
the tape.
You can play that clip, the general is a million times if
you want to Yeah, but we don't have these kinds of constraints
and we just talk and you know, this occasional cursing and
nobody cares. There's some podcasts where it seems to me
that's all they do. Yeah. Which I find annoying, by the way.
Well, what is what is highly interesting is that our
politicians, our leaders, do not are not interested in our type
of media. In fact, we are the enemy with the enemy. As as just
a quick clip here from our Vice President Joe Biden, as he
speaks to the media about his message for gun control. It's
again, this is not about the his message about gun violence, gun
control, gun laws, etc. But it is what he is interested who's
interested in communicating with.
I supported the assault weapons ban and the original Biden crime
bills were got passed. Well, when I ran for office, I was
told a lot of money was spent, Santa was taken away.
Everybody's shocked. And it was all about your shotgun. Well,
that's a bunch of malarkey. I know that's a word you've never
heard before. Although it's now in the dictionary, but that's
just simply not true. And to be very blunt with you, we're
counting on all of you the legitimate news media to cover
these discussions.
Oh, the legitimate news media, John.
Well, that's a good catch.
ginamit news media.
desperately wants you mentioned is so so obvious what he does,
first, firstly, he makes them all laugh right with his little
joke. I mean, the guy is very good at it. He uses malarkey
that he uses little malarkey clip. And there's Oh, and by the
way, you know, it's in the dictionary now, because the I
Joe Biden made that word. I wish he didn't. malarkey has been
used forever. But okay, so now is his word like Al Gore
invented the internet? And then it's like, oh, you know, but I'm
counting on you. The legitimate media, who I laugh with and hang
out with, not like social media is that
times have changed the social media. They exist out there that
fancy
social media exists out there. Yeah, you heard of this social
media thing, John. It's not legitimate media.
No, it's not legitimate. It's just something that exists.
Yeah, just gossips. Yeah, it's just
it's not legitimate out there. You know, I'm saying, I'm gonna
show my son gold by donating to no agenda. Imagine all the
people who could do that. Oh, yeah. That'd be fun.
Yeah, there's nothing obvious about that. That segway. Boy,
smooth. Hey, I
was sitting on that for hours.
Of course, because of this idiotic Excel ribbon. I have
moved to some page that I'm trying to get out. There it is.
I only use eight this stuff. I only use Open Office. I don't
use any of those Microsoft products. Do you use you don't
use Open Office?
I do from my writing.
Well, I mean, I've just I don't even have it on my machines
anymore. Yeah. No, no. Okay.
On this machine. And, and it's just, it's the most annoying
thing, by the way, the woman. And I hate to be a sexist about
this, but, but the woman who invented this ribbon interface
and you can't use and they just helped mess and which studies
have shown is with Word has created a 35% decrease in
productivity, because you're always screwing around trying to
find stuff. She turned out to be moved to the top of the ladder.
She's the head of marketing, and she's the one that pushed and
managed to get the windows eight Metro. She's just in the metro.
So this is a person that I've
tried to kind of just say something that i i have not, I
have not used Windows like in my head. That's not true. I skype
here is running on Windows. I mean, that's the only thing I
use it for. I don't I don't I just don't use it. I
mean, I'm, you're a Mac user. Did
you know by the way that wine runs on the Mac? I just
discovered this the other day? Oh my god. I was like, because
there's this one ham radio program that only runs on
Windows and I want to try it out. And you know, this stuff,
this digital processing stuff will really run on on this
notebook, you know, whatever this you know, touchy, touchy
feeling like 700 megahertz processor, whatever. And then
I'm like, I'm ripping my hair out trying to find a port or
whatever. And I found out that the wine runs perfectly on OSX
and you can run tons of stuff. I was blown. I didn't know this.
When did this happen?
I don't know. I never heard of it.
I think I'm a hipster if you're running Windows programs and
wine on your on your MacBook Pro. I think that's kind of a
hipster thing.
I think you got it. So well why Mine has always been you know,
it's been the one of my biggest complaints is that Linux by the
way you always want to talk about tech once in a while. Yeah
that Linux is which is perfectly functional. I run
multiple Linux boxes by the way. I like it a great product. Yeah.
And it because it doesn't run Photoshop is killing it because
it because Adobe refuses to port Photoshop to Linux because the
wart Warnock and Gaskey, the two founders of the company,
especially John Warnock, has decided that that Linux and the
open source movement is his great enemy because of the
invention of ghost script. So he refuses, he's still the chairman
of the board. He refuses to port to Linux. Meanwhile, wine on
Linux, I don't think it works that well. And so I mean, I
can't go to Linux, I'd love to, but I can't because I use
Photoshop and Illustrator some of these other things too much
things like InDesign. I just wouldn't trust them running
through wine.
Have you ever tried Photoshop running in wine? No. I might be
it might be an interesting experiment. I mean, I've never
even run Photoshop and anything but a Mac and I'm not Photoshop
at all. But I have to say that I've really, you know, I changed
my my MacBook Air to Ubuntu. I don't know how, like, the year
ago now maybe? And the
except for bug errors running Ubuntu? Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Because I want 30
brought the Apple OS.
I just Well, because Apple started changing things. You
know, it's like, you get forced into all these, all these
upgrades? And then you're forced your scroll versus because
it is, ah, are you telling me that? Historically, I've now I'm
thinking about we've been doing this show for almost 500
episodes, we've done a lot of shows. Yeah. And I don't know,
maybe 50 episodes, maybe longer, you stopped the same gripe that
you always say, this is This must be it. Because you used to
come on and go. And you'd be using that stream and you'd be
cussing like a like a truck driver who dropped a, you know,
wrench on his foot. Yeah. About Apple doing an overnight
upgrade. Now your system can't work. And you got to do this and
redo that you got to you always you're complaining bitterly
about this about once every two months.
Yeah, well, so but now you get for specifically what what is
happening now, when they moved to your apps have to be in the
app store for your for your Mac. So you know, already the whole
app thing for, for your iPhone, that that got me off the iPhone,
you know, I was like, please, I just I want a little bit of,
maybe it's just sudo, control, whatever. But the forced
upgrades, I see Nikki going through it on not a daily basis,
but she is completely she wants to be in the ecosystem, and I
support her. And she said, Look, I want I want the, I want
everything to sync and whatever that cloud thing and I cloud
just make it all work. And you know, she is in the she she
relies heavily on the Apple Photoshop Lightroom products,
all of this stuff, as she has little understanding as a user
of, you know, disk drives and directories. And you know, just
she's, she's a quintessential perfect Apple user. But then I
go through the these, these phases, where she's forced to
upgrade because a won't work with B unless you have this,
this all these dependencies. And then you know, the scroll bars
are upside down, the scroll bars are gone, you can't like grab a
scroll bar anymore on a Mac, I mean, who make that decision. So
and that's okay. The only reason I still use MAC's in the studio
is core audio is superior. That is that is a fabulous part of
the Macintosh operating system. And Linux is very weak in the
development is just still not there with the audio systems. As
well as with actually wireless networking is very weak. On on a
lot of the lot of Linux installs, the driver support is
not there, you know. So that is the downside of my MacBook Air
which I have a 3.1 of the first versions of the MacBook Air the
three 3.1 And it's very hard to install Linux. First of all dual
boot you have to do with IE fit and all this crap. But then the
drivers for the Wi Fi suck, and they just really, really sucks
but even then, at least, you know, I can control what's going
on and things won't change overnight. I can make my own
decisions. And I can work with software vendors who make free
stuff and good stuff that I want and that doesn't have to go
through some kind of committee And I've seen this on the
writing on the wall for a long long time. But I always think
you should try Photoshop and one try give it a try. And I'll give
it a try. It might work
I have a Linux box it keeps tempting me to faster operating
system it's and it doesn't it has and it's kind of stable in
the, in the in the original style of the desktop metaphor. I
just don't like this new stuff
you know? So I've been messing around with Linaro you familiar
with this install? Never heard of it? Yeah, so it works on ARM
devices because that's really what I'm what I'm working on
with my Q RP SDR project is I got I got the O droid computer.
And you say you basically you burn Linaro
does not even what is it? Sorry, the ARO
li n AR o Linaro. And so you burn, you burn the whole OS onto
the onto the SD card and it boots right from the SD card.
It's pretty amazing. I mean, you've got this thing it's like
the Raspberry Pi only is more powerful and has a faster
processor. You know, it's just again the Wi Fi support blows
you know, you got to find drivers and it's that's a
problem but these little these little installs, man it's it's
used in school kids should be taught they need to learn how to
compile a kernel. This should be mandatory install Linux should
be able to learn how to compile a kernel, change some headers
recompile that should be mandatory for all kids.
Kindergarten,
the top thing going on in schools right now is moving kids
to Chromebooks. Now.
Let's move on quit you depressing me now. I was happy
about this conversation how you're depressing.
It's a fact. Hey. That's for Rebecca McGinley from San Diego,
California. Who gave us nein nein nein Nein. Howdy am Jim

give me some karma. That's interesting. What about the
500th? Prime is what
is the value of a prime number? Is it good for anything other
than just saying it's a prime number? I mean, is there is
there some usefulness of prime numbers? If you
multiply it by two you can divide into the result
I had that's very hot.
It's just a number that you can't you can't divide by
anything. I don't know it. Mathematicians can tell us why
it's important and they keep and it's like a big deal to find all
of them.
Okay, yes, it is. Even this when are there some still out there
that we haven't found yet?
Yeah, yeah, that's what they say every once a while. Somebody's
like big news. Breaking news when someone finds one and now
it's got his way up just like Oh, apparently, there's 1000
Apparently it's
good for encryption. Oh, yeah, you
need actually you can't do encryption without it. Because
don't ask me I'm not I don't know. There's a reason
and it's good for it's good for your hipster quotient.

thank you that made my day. Did you have to blow your nose to
know he's up be peeing and blowing your nose guys
if you watch a football game and some guys
I know you shouldn't do that in the shower while you're peeing.
And that didn't some producer of ours and then the idea that we
shouldn't use the toilet at all really for for pooping. You
should like we should get cat litter
and just clump it for humanity. No to you because I don't
remember. Yeah.
He said no, it was the whole idea was like you need we need
to clump it and then and then throw it out. And now you've
wasted valuable water with flushing. When maybe that wasn't
it? Maybe that's what that whole cruise ship thing was about. Oh,

seven liters of your own blood spun through a centrifuge to
extract white blood cells to be reinsert into his body to help
boost his son's immune system. What a hipster.

got karma has a long Sunday at the end.
errs. Go see. I think in Kokomo, Indiana. Gentlemen, greetings
from Switzer nuts. I was in Switzerland. Thank you. Oh,
that's a Swiss name. Thank you for providing us with the
countless hours of media assassination that best podcast
in the universe. I have to call myself out as a douchebag for
not donating earlier. If I'm a douche bag, douche bag, okay, if
you haven't finally guilted myself enough, I emptied out my
PayPal account by the way everyone should do that. Sorry
for being part of the freeloading majority for too
long. Please send a random karma combo my way turn off your
television you will obey you will obey you will obey.
You've got karma random.
pretty random. Brad but Tao But Bo Bebo. Bebo, Bebo, Brad Bebo
in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Please read it. Oh, please read
and stoner voice Otis Bink foot of the strike. I don't know if I
get into it as funny. Amen. Oh, does Bigfoot have the stinking
Lake Wisconsin? Dear John and Adam. Here's a little bit of
value for me for the large amounts of value I get from you
too. I've been listening religiously and kindly thank my
friend Governor Jerry Brown for hitting me in the mouth. I'm
hoping my donation gets me a golden key to the crapper. As I
will not shit in a bag. Please tell the chat room to fuck off
and hit me with a sexy science, Parliament mumble and karma all
around for everyone in need. Keep up the great work
gentleman.
I'm concerned. I'm really concerned because you seem to
have lost your stoner voice.
I noticed that's my voice has come up already. It's not good.
You know, you know what a lot of it is. And I know it sounds like
bullcrap. But I think I can only do these voices when the person
writes them in that voice. So yeah, we have had people that
were drunk gave the drunk donations and I can sound like
them and that we've had people that were I know they were
stoned because of the way they wrote but if you if you're
straight or drunk and want to stoner voice you're gonna you're
not gonna get it. No. I channeled the voice you see?
Yes, you're you're you're a method actor. You're a method
actor.
Style Well, Victoria. Here's a small donation to help ease
Adams but but Adams but hurt that okay. Oh, I see. Okay.
After the vile, evil and nefarious Scott Smith used Adams
surname as an initiator for a series of mostly unfunny jokes,
a shot at karma for Adam when ensure that nobody gives him
grief about his name going into the future. It's unconscionable
to make jokes of dubious humor value based on somebody's name
fact. And it's refreshing to see no agenda, never pooping, or
stooping to these crashes. Bass attacks while reporting and
dissecting news involving people like Steve Cook, Janet
Napolitano, Hillary clippity clop Clinton appears more on Joe
Biden and others. All the best. Mike CATIC. Stowell Okay, for
now it's stall in Victoria.
So can I just say one thing? That was not the issue. The
issue was no plug. Yeah, there was no plug. There was no
mention of our show. We wanted to plug on the show. That's what
shows up. If you
plug Oh, you can make all the fun of his name. You want to
plug the website. Exactly. But I said curry.com is part of that.
I would have taken that. Yeah.
No, no, apparently you're just some guy who invented something
and you're not even alive.
No. Me. Okay. No, no,
that was a terrible idea. Okay, you guys hard to listen to.
Okay, come on. Come on. Come on. Oh. Kevin Ayers in Broomfield,
Colorado at 50 Double nickels on the diamond. He sent his note in
this note carefully considering what he gave. Da it's my
birthday on Tuesday the 19th which means you had to put them
on the list. I donated 6666 and forgot. Geez, I need a mind
control and a good slapping around I promise I pretend not
to like it. So he not only forgot to put the know in, but
he doesn't remember how much he donated.
Okay, okay, wait while he's on the list. He's on the list.
Let's see. Okay, here's here's an example of a note that's too

the way, man went back because I was playing clips and I ended up
with a bunch of Yeah, fuck, man, man. Hey, man. It's awesome man.

think he has like that. Kevin. I saw Redstate by the way, sucked.
He encourages you, Adam to reach out to Kevin who is generally
one of the nicest filmmakers out there. And one of the few is
actually called out to Hollywood BS. Taking his film out.
Hollywood B. Yes. Hello, Hollywood B. Yes. Wow. Wow,
that's really important to
us actually called it out apparently. Hey, man, don't get
mad. Get Irish out without studios and someone who
appreciates Trailblazers like Adam?
No, he doesn't know he doesn't. If he did, then he would have
plugged me. He doesn't. I would love
nothing more than to see a mashup of my two favorite
podcasts and have Adam go one on one with calves shows Kev, Kev,
Kev, and I like suck. And I That's it like a DS douching and
a 999 by itself, followed by combo. Dr. Kiki's had science at
Atlas Shrugged. No, no,
no, no, no, no. None of that. Nothing. No jingle for you. I'm
sorry. I've got a hammer comes down here.
Okay, I'm not going to argue the point.

And that concludes our listing of those fine donors who helped
us produce show 488 And we do have another show coming up. 489
And we're getting within 11 After that, the 500 show and we
need to come up with some something to help people
celebrate our 500 Show, which is a big deal. Yes.
Five 500 $500,000 $500,000 would be a great way to celebrate.
That's right. Now that because everyone everyone is turned off,
because we're anti Kevin Smith.
We're not anti Kevin Smith.
I actually like this Jay and Silent Bob movies. I like those.
I thought those were pretty good.
You just think that he could have said something other than
mock Curry's name with a bunch of lame rhymes while the other
guy only seems to say yeah, yeah.
Yeah, uh huh. All right. So you heard what Rod Serling says he
says donate dammit vorak.org/and A do that on Thursday.
John Bell congratulates his sister Christine. Our magic to
her birthday Eric Anderson turned celebrated yesterday on
the 16th Kevin Benson will be celebrating on Tuesday. And
Kevin Ayers who forgot why he donated and what he donated but
he knows his birthdays at least once a year. Happy birthday for
you. Bye He's here at the no agenda show. And we have a black
knight today explain what a black knight is, John, because
people always thinking they're black knights.
Yeah, I don't know why people want to be a black knight is a
as a honor, a title that we bestow as an apology for missing
the fact that they become knights. And so all of a sudden,
they should have been a night, let's say in the first of the
year, and then a month goes by they look, waiting to be a
night, you're
doing a horrible job. So this is not like we don't try to keep
track of your donations. You have to do that yourself. And
then you send to us the list and we check that to make sure
obviously, and if then when we've gone through that process,
if we then forget, tonight, you then you can become a black
knight. It's not like you sit around waiting, and then you're
like, Hey, how come? Hey, where's my knighthood? No,
that's not how it works. Okay, so this is when we've said, Hey,
congratulations, you're a knight. And it's all good. And
then we forget to do it on the show. That's how you become a
black knight. Right.
And I should mention the people out there who still want you
we're transitioning to pins. We are still sending out rings.
Yeah, we're not very good at the emails about that they're coming
but we are said yeah, yes. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Our customer our
Customer Support Department is Yeah,
once Eric quit and we lost customer support, so it's just
kind of a hit and miss thing so maybe we'll send them out every
once every few months. And the only thing we don't have is the
size nine and a half that's it that's my message. Yeah, by
the way there there are plenty of hot women who want to be our
secretary and take over this stuff.

hereby pronounce the Sir Patrick Mangum black night of the no
agenda roundtable for you, my friend. I have a whole bevy of
goodies, hookers and blow rent boys and Chardonnay hot pans and
booze winches and beer Rubenesque, lemon and Rosae
gushes and sock a buck and vanilla bong hits and bourbon,
sparkling cider and escorts and of course, the mutton concepts

contribution of $1,000 or more, this is the best podcast in the
universe, we are kept alive by your support your donations,
keep it coming, people read your documentation, because that's
what we do for you. Cool. So, um, this one we already talked
about, oh, the Meteor. And we talked about the meteor now. As
you have noticed, I've mixed up the show I did the second half
first. But I do have some some cyber warrior stuff that I
thought was interesting, you know, stick our lawyer there and
think he's near Chicago. He always emails a lot. Yeah. And
I'm gonna get him on the on the cartulary system, by the way. So
the cartulary system, look at my tweets and look at the video
need a transplant? Yes, exactly.
That's why we call it cartulary. And member, the Department of
Homeland Security's cyber security officer who will be
determining what can be shared and protecting your rights. Mary
Ellen Callahan. Oh, God. So she works part time for a law firm.
She's only half that she works part time for general block,
which is a huge, huge law firm. Yeah, so
one of the big boys
Yeah. So she works there and she works at so it's a part time
job. Obviously, protecting your privacy is obviously a part time
job. It makes so much sense to me. So he sent me an email said
I actually am No, he says, Adam, I emailed you a few months ago
about Mary Ellen Callahan. I was at a conference in Chicago and
she was a speaker. She's a very nice person but a complete and
utter idiot. Apparently, she's working both for DHS and her
partnership at Mega law firm general block. As an example of
expertise in cybersecurity at the conference as an example,
she talked about a big DHS project she worked on where she
where some federal dude doofus lost his USB drive with hundreds
of millions of slaves personal information on it, it was
unencrypted never found, she said that she works a lot with
training people how not to lose their USB drives. This is the
person in charge of your privacy with a new executive order from
the president teach them how to use TrueCrypt. Systems are
buying and secure USB, which has no pre encrypted or anything
like that. No, no, no, just keep them from losing it. You're you
know, well, she's
only part time, John. I mean, i god man, what do you expect if
she really wanted to teach people something would have to
she has to be full time. Full time she
picked in the first place. Actually, I saw resumes or bio
on the way Yeah, yeah, she actually looks for She sounds
like she's been trained properly.
You mean as a shill or something?
But I mean, she doesn't sound like some slouch like that. That
you know those two guys that were the CTO and the whatever
they Khun Dre and Joe Bryan Chopin. Khumba. Coudray. Yeah,
that guy. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So I have an old clip.
I was gonna do some other stuff. But okay, I just wanted to do
one thing before we get to a clip. You know, we talked about
the cultural jihad. My handler? Yeah.
I'm about to talk to her since
now, in email, only a quick email,
which is straighten you out?
Well, no, she's she said, you know, she actually thanked
should please thank John for recognizing her work. The minute
I do, you said, hey, you know, she straightens you out. She
said, you're straight from time to time. Oh, and so, of course,
this was about the high likelihood that John O Brennan
converted to Islam and that, you know, she basically lay down the
whole smack about Sharia law and about how the Muslim Brotherhood
is, is giving all these goodies to the industrial complexes so
they can go and make hundreds of billions and trillions. And of
course, all we get is, you know, cultural Jihad at now, if I so
first of all, after I do this whole thing, Glenn Beck starts
talking about this. So this, this makes me feel not so good.
Because now Glenn Beck just is icky. But it was very funny to
read that in Canadia. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has
unveiled the long awaited you ready for it? Office of
Religious Freedom? How 1984 New World Order does that sound?
Prime Minister Stephen Harper will unveil the government's
long awaited Office of Religious Freedom and named Canadians
first religious freedom ambassador at a Toronto area
Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Center so religious freedom for
Muslims apparently this is nuts people
why would it be a Muslim that is in charge of this people up in
Canada get Harper out
I don't think having an awesome an Office of Religious freedom
is a good idea. It just doesn't sound right to me. Now this
isn't religious lip
I wish I wish I had the clip at the ready about nevermind it's
just annoying me now that I don't I shouldn't Is it from
last week that we never played?
Okay. What so you had something you wanted to play? I did I the
thing that's going around now that came out this morning is
Jeff Jarvis on the BBC. Did you see that?
Oh no. What?
He was yelling at the guy from the BBC. So what about the
Facebook hack?
What about it?
Okay so so Facebook apparently there was a a day zero hack on
the Israel exploit exploit I'm sorry they zero exploit that
infected several computers inside the company. And whatever
if this happens this is what happens with big centralized
systems you know when things all the time so what yeah, when it
gets messed up. So the BBC of course is like, you know, this
is you know, this is bad. This is bad. So Jeff Jarvis does
something very interesting. Well, I want your response to it
after we played the clip,
any details of what sort of hack took place? You already said a
few of the staffers laptops We were hacked through a malware
site and there's nothing that was compromised many sites. No,
I disagree with you. This is irresponsible journalism. This
is crap. You're trying to draw a techno panic and say that people
should be scared around the world and they shouldn't be. And
there's no story here, this interview shouldn't exist. I
said that your reader viewer, I'll say it to you, you're just
causing a panic, and there's no reason for it. Look, as you read
that, please. Okay, listen, I totally appreciate your point.
But we still think that it's a point worth discussing. I don't
think so. I think I don't think this is good media coming along
and saying, Oh, my God, technology is scary. Well, how
often do I have calls? DBCC. Let's do a story about how
wonderful technology is all the new opportunities. Agreed? No,
this is what you do. You come early, you say? A hockey
destroyed technology is bad techno panic, danger, danger. Mi
s, this is crap. And you know it. It's irresponsible
journalism and I'm coloring on it. Okay, Jeff Jarvis. Listen,
we do appreciate your time. As well, I'm gonna hear this. Okay.
No,
no, no, absolutely not. The reason why. You don't want to
hear we're more than happy to hear the
message office is the nature of your language. Okay, we do
appreciate the analysis of the language. So you could listen,
thank you very much indeed. For your time, Mr. Thomas. Okay.
For the language they that interview which you use the word
crap. So, okay, I have some I didn't know this. Yeah. I have
some.
This is going this is making the rounds today.
Do they have a studio that shaped like a giant bucket? I'm
sorry
to say the only video I could find was what someone had taped
this with a camera on the TV. So yes, suck. Sorry.
And secondly, I pretty sure I can predict with some certainty
that Jeff Jarvis will never be invited back.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure about that, too. But, but this is kind
of, it's interesting to me, that he chose this. And this is, by
the way, because when I'm hearing this, I'm like, well,
wow, you know, if either one of us dies, you know, Jeff can slip
right in, you know, he can beat and he can be on the show. And
I'm not I'm not I'm not a big fan, typically of his but this
was I kind of like what he was doing it because it was more
about, well, he doesn't immediate as
a structure. So we actually wouldn't work on the show. He's
just grumpy.
He's just just having a bad day. Is that what you're saying?
I think this has to be it. Because most of the time, he's
very civil. But he was off the deep end. He was like, rocking
it. I mean, he was did he have to get up at three in the
morning to do it because it was across the world or it was on
there was something else going on? That made him this?
agitated? I was normally go I know what he would normally do
on these soldiers. They Well, it's not a you know, you say the
same thing. But you do it this way? Yeah, you know, it turns
out not to be a big deal. And this guy pretty much happens at
all the companies is what you said low earlier judges exactly
the same thing. It's not a big deal. And you know, you might be
making, I think too many people making a mountain out of a
molehill, and then you stop and let the guy come back with it.
And it becomes a very classic time wasting BBC quasi
conversation. This is the same things you've seen on CNBC. When
you're in one of the boxes or the octave box, you know,
there's a bunch of people's heads on the screen, and they
really say nothing. One guy tries to get some attention by
saying something kind of interesting, but it's all bull
crap. And I don't know what happened to GE went off the
rails.
I actually feel that he kind of, in a way also might have been
protecting Facebook. No, yeah. Because it's the beginning of
the clip. He's kind of like, you know, everyone knows on
Facebook, you're sharing everything that's going to be
seen. Yeah, he was. He wasn't no, no, no.
I'm not so sure. Well, that's pretty sinister of true.
Well, I am a sinister dude. But I liked the whole rant. And I
liked I'd like to, I like the whole, you know, like, you're
gonna cut me off now. And I thought it was good. That was
good. But it was a typical Jarvis, I just didn't seem like
that. That was something he would do normally.
No, that's what I was saying. It was, it would normally be just,
that's why I think something else was going on. But I don't
think he was. If he was protecting Facebook, he did a
crappy job of it.
We get this all the time, by the way we get at least I get emails
from people who are incensed and so angry at me. And you know,
it's, it's outrageous. And sometimes I'll send back home
and you know, really what, and then, you know, after two or
three emails back and forth, it turns out, you know, my dog got
hit by a car. My girlfriend left me I'm broke, you know? And it's
like, it's just people projecting their own
crap. Yeah, so that's what I'm That's my thinking on this. I
wonder
I hope he's okay. Maybe his dog got hit maybe his girlfriend
left them. Hey, can I just I'd like to wrap up the Chris Dorner
stuff.
We have one daughter clip
what do you have? Oh, you have a good way. Let's play. What do
you
think? I got a very short clip is the doses donor? Like I don't
know why I can't spell on
these things. That's amazing. I can find your clips. Yeah.
Because now when it says let me read this one again, defense
strategy Alan it's all spelled right. This was the wrap up and
I'm one of the big major news networks that summed it all up
and we were good to go. We're done with this story.
Now police stress they did not burn down that cabinet
intentionally. They also say after the flame started a single
gunshot was heard inside and that sounded very different from
all the other shots that were fired and they believe that was
the bullet that Dorner saved for himself.
It's like the robbing, robbing brave. He saved it for himself.
I'm saving this bullet. I'm telling you, I'm saving this
bullet to kill myself. I gotta kill myself with this bullet.
Yeah, it's it's really, it's really unbelievable. So here's
the I actually whenever I want the truth, I turned to Erin
Burnett. Yeah. And
it's a question that they believe that they've answered at
this point. What the detectives are saying is that they have
completed the autopsy and at this point, they are saying that
Dorner died of a single gunshot wound to the head something that
they're not 100% sure of.
I love that part. The autopsy is done and in we're sure
kinda but all signs are pointing to Dawn all
signs John, all signs are pointing to.
Yeah, so you said you obviously you were more into this story. I
think you did a better job of finding stuff than I did.
Because you got the the wallet the double wallets part of it.
Yeah. Which I that's a was good. So since you know all these
details, you're like, probably the I would say you are the
national expert on this on this case. I'm close to you was there
because he shot himself in the head. And then he dropped dead.
There would be any I assume he's right handed or left handed,
whatever is gonna make he the gun that he shot himself with
would be right there. And maybe you know, heated up and blew up
in you, but the gun would be around right there and probably
in his hand and all the rest of that you'd find the gun. Did
they find a gun?
Oh, I'm so glad you asked John. Not only did they find a gun,
they found the entire arsenal. They're showing it on
television, which includes a Bushmaster ar 15 But they're not
scorched at all. As we
heard all this reports about Christopher Dorner being heavily
armed that he's armed and dangerous. But looking at it it
really sort of underscores that this man was prepared for war he
was engaged in an all out war look at this weapon. This is a
sniper semi automatic rifle, not a burn
mark on it, by the way with a scope. So scope is perfectly
intact. Well, high
magazine clips.
There's a high magazine I don't know what that is, but it's a
high magazine. Apparently you can smell
him in high capacity. She left a word out Yeah, I
know what she what she means John, but the whole point is she
could have been Hi she's showing me magazines that are which are
typically made of plastic. And there's not nothing's burned.
Nothing scored high
magazine clips. Several semi automatic handgun semi
automatic versus the automatic handguns.
He had. My automatic handgun.
It's it's it's a semi automatic. It's not a machine handgun
bombs. He was wearing a vest, a military helmet
and military helmet. Oh my god.
This man certainly knew what he was doing. And he wanted to wage
war not
a single so they're showing the entire table not a scorch mark
on him.
Okay, well let me ask you another question then. Let's
just say that the day were well made and they wouldn't scorch
but in that temperatures of where you have a body that was
apparently burnt to a crisp, yes. To the point where they say
they found his dental records because you couldn't you had no
fingerprints, anything burnt to a crisp.
It was like barbecue.
Now in that kind of heat. Wouldn't have bullets in the
magazines are exploding, explode now and again, making a mess out
of the gun or the magazine so you would not have a magazine.
Hi magazines, a high magazine that would be intact. It'd be
all screwed up be messed up by the bullets exploding in the
magazine. Yes. Is that the case?
John, all I'm telling you is that they are showing me a table
with police officers showing it like as a sign Christopher
Dorner. arsenal with an arrow right? And they're showing the
showing me his his, his jacket his his military helmet, his
Bushmaster rifle.
It's based on jacket
burnt No it's it's all perfectly it's the jacket
one of these jackets
well so here here's here's my favorite Bronx I think was the
Bronx clothing actually, this jacket doesn't burn
calm the guys doesn't burn it's a piece of the action is
unbelievable it just but I love the rifle and they have the
magazines, the high magazines or plastic ones because a lot of
these are plastic you can get the metal ones you get plastic.
In fact, most of I think these days are plastic and that you
know they're not melted or anything. It's just it's all
fine, you know, and no one sees this by the way, there's no
like, I mean, the zombies are so programmed and hypnotized. Now,
of course the big thing is the reward. So we need to know as I
said it was only for the captcha and not for the killing of him
so I think that no one's gonna get it anyway. But if you're
gonna if you're gonna give the reward are you whistling?
No, go on. Oh,
I thought you were whistling at me.
I was breathing into this just happen to have slide was on my
lips.
Okay,
sorry. Okay. myself up for a
doozy you have a tell okay, you have a tent when you're
breathing through the slide was so I didn't know what was going
on. So we're gonna wind it we have to do something with his
reward. So let's find someone to give it to the authorities did
not address in the press conferences who is going to get
the $1 million reward for tips that led to the capture and
conviction of Dorner. Los Angeles Police Department has
just issued a statement and it says the following due to the
large number of inquiries into the reward and Mayor's Office
and the Los Angeles Police Department remind media outlets
that reward monies cannot be distributed until the
investigation is complete, which takes time. final decisions on
the dissemination of the reward on this case, as in all reward
cases will be made upon completion of the investigation.
Well, one potential candidate is Rick held a break he says Dorner
pulled a gun on him then took his truck leaving him and his
dog unharmed. And Rick joins me now out front of work I just was
when I first read that Do you know who this guy is?
This is the guy I don't know. This is there's a budget this is
the Asian Fowler story is the
agent that we played the clip from this is the guy who said
this now the man who lost his truck Christopher Dora the agent
that they've talked alive this is the guy I spoke with they're
gonna give it till to break a short time ago. Rick Helton
break. Here we go. Take him through what happened. You were
coming up a side road on the highway and you saw some law
enforcement in the area. What happened?
I saw somebody moving in the trees and I could see that it
was somebody with a gun. Now there's been a lot of people up
around here with guns searching buildings and things like that.
So I'm not I'm used to seeing them, but this was an odd area
to be. And by the time that thought process ended, I
realized it was Christopher Dorner. And I saw a vehicle
crashed in the snow behind him.
Remember this guy? The vehicle guy? Oh, yeah, the cop with a
wraparound black sunglasses. That's who they're gonna give
the reward to
phonies don't get anything. It's just they're gonna give it back
to themselves as a cash bonus. Yeah, it's just like an actor.
Welcome to San Bernardino.
Amazing. Amazing, but they also they found a fake girlfriend
going her spring from calm to to murderer or potentially let's
get some insight on him from Ariana Williams. She dated
Christopher Dorner five years ago. It's nice to have you with
us. He did it back in 2000 602 1006.
Is that five years ago? Really? How about Thai baht? Adding?
Yeah, how about seven years
a little more than five years ago?
Tell me a little bit about so they just drum up some woman.
She's an actor. And she's just an actor. And she has nothing to
say what you
first thought when you heard that he was the suspect in this
in this manhunt. I think anytime you hear something of this
nature and this extreme shock,
didn't she sounds like a real girlfriend. But she and I mean,
like a voiceover announced this exactly.
Listen, we just need somebody. Give me the list. Who do you
have? Well, I don't have the actor list here. I got voiceover
talent. That's great. That's great. Just whoever. FM African
American
voice legend shot probably is the next person and it's just
like, threw me for a loop. But do you think I'm shocked threw
me for a loop. But I expected it or was it? I'm shocked. He could
never have done something like this. I'm shocked. I sort of
expected I can't honestly tell you that I will say I'm shocked
I sort of expected this oh, this would never happen. I mean when
you see signs of someone's behavior in the manner that sort
of like stress induced to tie you know, behavior also, I think
coupled with maybe how their personality already already is I
think it makes it easier to understand why something like
this could possibly happen. Oh, did he beat you up? Did
he was Did he go crazy? Did he like Did he whack you upside the
head? Did he pull a gun on you
under signs were you seeing that would lead you later to not
think it was such a stunning development? Well, I think just
a lot on the job stress and I think maybe his beliefs and his
values about how cops should behave.
What? Yeah, those are the we had a stressful job. That's was
clear sign. This is bull crap. This is so so so fake, so phony.
And this is our buddy here. What's your name? That's how I
dress all my buddies. What's your name? Our CNN buddy. What's
your name? What's your name? Aaron. No. Another Morning Show
girl who's about to be replaced by Aaron. The Oh yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Betsy,
is hearing a little bit at that time. He was a little bit
stressed out at work.
He was a little bit stressed out at work. So it made total sense
that he could flip. I was it threw me for a loop. Oh, people
get better actors. Get better script writers. Oh, that too.
Yes. soldato. Soledad O'Brien. Ah, Soledad All right. Betsy
plays out big man. Can we do the ask Adam thing
how many lightning strikes are there daily in the in the world?
Daily in the world? Wow. Lightning like striking the
ground building structures trees?
Yeah. Yeah, you discharges
including your potato.
No, it has to be a lightning with no but not static district
will not matter. No, you know what I'm talking about? I'm
gonna
say 10,000 Play it.
Astonishing. 40 strikes occur every second. That's more than 3
million strikes a day. Wow.
There was a porn?
No, this is part of Novus new style. Terrible. And they have
for example, the upcoming Nova which is going to be something
you'd be interested in which I think is a brainwashing Nova has
gone off the deep end.
Nova Nova. Public Television is not of course, okay.
nation's treasure.
So this is the
roots of this coming Nova. You could check it out and you know
what it's going to be about? It's gonna be about drugs.
Nova investigates the roots of violence. The question on
everybody's mind is how do you prevent the next new town are
killers born or made? When we compare people who commit
violent acts against people who don't commit violent acts, brain
differences begin to merge, mass murder driven by an urge to kill
or a wish to die
if we want to understand a murder suicide, we need to start
by understanding the suicide
unlocking the mind of a rampage killer next time.
Of course, if we can see these brains that we can see the brain
activity at a very young age and what we can correct it with them
with the medicine drugs. Yes with some drugs. Exactly. Okay,
wrapping up from my end guests. There's a new SARS like virus
that shows person to person transmission coming up. This is
very good.
No more kissing. Yep. No.
At least not with tongue. Bird flu. In Germany, they're killed.
I
thought there was bird flu in Mexico.
Yes, there is the you know, well, that's I'm sorry. That is
not just bird flu in Mexico. You know what that is?
Chicken. That's right. They killed like half a million
chickens or something.
Yeah, some 500,000. Birds had to be put down. Yeah. Or shipped to
the US one of the two.
You're soaking in it now. Maj? Okay, let me see. Yeah, no, I
think we're pretty much got some I got in the show notes, which
is it 488 dot n a show notes.com. We always have all
the clips, the hours, the credits. Of all the stories
we've talked about, and more. There's a lot of stuff we just
don't get to. So make sure you check out your daily show notes
four eight.na shownotes.com. In that I will put a link if you're
a sysadmin you feel like contributing to the cartulary
project. There's a Google group you can go download this horses
from GitHub and install it and, and help us out with some
programming. And there's a lot of work that still needs to be
done. Well, you can just set one up and run it for your friends.
You know,
I have a, possibly an end of show clip, or you can play it
now, which I want to get off the list because I'm gonna keep
sending it in until it gets played. Okay, because we had
Gore Vidal, if you remember about Yes, eight shows ago from
talking in 1990? No, 1968 1969. And we already done this clip.
No, no, this is a new verse when it came. The latest came 40
years later. This is one of the last clips he did before he
died. But he was he's always been suspicious of the military
industrial complex. And he takes it for granted that the whole
place has been taken over. But in this case, he slams a bunch.
He slams a bunch of the door. And he has remember he's a big
time progressive liberal. And he slams a bunch of the heroes of
the left in a very funny way. That's kind of depressing. We
can play at the end.
why don't why don't we play it now? I was going to do a very
short end of show clip of Cornell West calling Obama a war
criminal.
I thought that was kind of fun. That's always fun. Okay, let's
listen to Gore Vidal. Now. Just refresh our memory. This is not
the shampoo guy. Right,
Garvey. It's funny Gore Vidal is, is related to Al Gore and
all the Gore's that came before Oh, really, and very famous,
very famous novelist, playwright and all these other things, and
he was blackballed early in his career, he's extremely gay. And
he had written his first novel when he was 19 years old, and he
got blackballed because it's about being gay. And because
that changed
was a gay hipster.
I don't know if there are such things
are very simple. This guy's the bad guy, this guy's the good
guy, we're gonna root for him. He may have his problems. But so
I see the world having been brought up in a political
family. I know that mixture that people are Harry Truman did more
harm to the United States than any president in our history,
and was one of the nicest and most honorable of men. But he
replaced the old republic with a national security state with a
cold war. As Charles Beer the historian said, we have, we are
now set for a Perpetual War for Perpetual peace. And we've had
50 years of that, and yet he's venerated because he's a nice
little man. People are mixtures. And if you're brought up in
Washington, and your your family's in the trade, of
politics, you know, how complex people are you and I often say
that one of the worst presidents, the United States
with Jack Kennedy. In 1000 days, he got us into an invasion of
Cuba that failed missile crisis nearly killed us all. And into
the Vietnam War. I said another 1000 days and we will all be
dead.
I said, What you his friend,
I was very much his friend. I adored Jack Kennedy. He was the
greatest gossip that ever lived. He was a wonderful guy. He was a
god awful president now, can't you get the two things in your
head?
I don't know what it is in London to the American brain.
But if you like somebody, everything he does, okay.
You know, I do want to point out you said, this is you. Well, you
said that Gore Vidal said this before he died, you realize you
said that, right. Yeah, he also realized that's kind of a
ludicrous statement.
Yeah. Okay. I think it was implying that it was before he
died.
Well, if he was talking after he died, then that would be
awesome.
Yeah. Anyway, I just thought it was it was now looking back. So
shitty clip, but it's beside the point.
It's not a shitty clip. It's like they liked the clip. First
of all, Truman was the one that instated the state. Oh, no.
In fact, the Dulles John Foster Dulles, and then Allen Dulles,
the guy was really started the CIA, they, progenitor the whole
thing. That was all put into play by Truman in 1947. Did the
state we're in began in 1947. All thanks to Truman and they
used to as a police security state. This is how a police
state says 47 before 47. You know, not true is not good
country. Truman.
Was this Truman was that the election where? Where he's
holding up the newspaper that says do we wins? Yeah. So was
that the first election that was stolen then?
Possibly. What was Truman, a Democrat or Republican,
Democrat? I rest my case. Interesting. The war party? Was
that what? What he was my dad used to always say, oh,
Democrats are the war party and the Republicans are the
depression party. Well, I guess we're really beginning to
realize what he said. Yeah.
We win either way. At least we have a show and we have a war
yeah either we have a war we have a depression either way we
have a show. This is good news.
Yeah, I don't think it's changing anytime soon.
No. All right, John. Hey, John. Can I say something? No. What?
No. What I said I want to say something I want to
say it Why are you asking for my permission? Because I
want to have make sure you're not on the slide. Wissler doing
anything else?
No, I was gonna get on the cowbell but go on. Well, I love
you, man. Thanks.
