terror fear.
Well, that's it every day in America. Every day in America,
every day is a day of fear.
Are you afraid fear so we
had we had our our dinner party on Monday night and and I,
we talked a little bit about this on the show, we did not
much we talked most of it after the show.
Well, and this is one of those rare occasions where we actually
had an off topic discussion after the show, which I would
say lasted for about 45 minutes quite a record for us. And we
had already spoken for over two and a half hours shower up
afterwards. And mainly because I was now cooking for a total of
six people. And these are our friends here in Austin. We have
Russell, the brain scientist. We have his lovely wife, Jennifer,
the architect, we have Lori the artist and her husband, Mark the
rock and roller, who also does investments in accounting.
And, and they're all Obama but
a total Obama. And McCain I concluded after the evening,
which it wasn't until past midnight. It was a good No, it
was a good evening we went we concluded that we are probably
their wacky friends
too. Wow. In their house, you gotta go hang out. Unbelievable.
What they say is crazy. Crazy.
I gotta tell you, first of all, but I had asked you for advice.
I said, What am I going to cook six people? I don't think I can
do this. And you went? You're so lovely. You This is easy. No
problem. You're doing beef bourguignon. I'm like what? And
so first of all, I did not sell this as beef.
Jerky gentleman I wrote it. I wrote
it down. I wrote down exactly how you told me to do this.
Yeah. And which is quite funny. In fact, I will I will give you
just the first few lines. And I named it something different
because they said oh, what are we having for dinner? I said
we're having double dip recession slaves do you
think is a great name for this?
It is. And here's here's how you said it. You get five pounds of
meat check steaks, one and a half inch your cubes. And this
is the cheapest meat you can find. I'm talking cheap, cheap,
cheap. Then you get your cast iron pot. You make this thing
hot. I mean fucking hot. You're gonna put the meat in there and
it's just gonna be like, it's gonna be smoking. It's
outrageous. You have to open the doors and the windows. This is
nuts. It's carmelized. And don't touch it. That's kind of how you
told me to do it. Yeah, kinda. And so I had to make an
investment and makes a lot of smoke. The investment was done,
right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, the investment was getting a Dutch
oven, which I didn't have. So we went to bed bath and beyond
after you
and I got your Dutch ovens but going well, no, they actually
went to bed. Did you buy the one that we saw on the on the
online? You know
what, there were three, three different kinds. And the one
that we saw online there were there was kind of there were two
other choices. One was the French kind, which like $300.
Yeah, they're a little pricey. Because they're enameled.
They were all enameled maybe a different May.
Okay, what do you do I always go with the, the one I use as real
as it is American cast iron is it's the big it's the big heavy
duty a cast iron cast iron that needs to be cured.
Yeah. So I got the one that Emeril sells. Okay, I liked it.
I liked it. Yeah, it was. So it's six quarts. And we that's
perfect. Yeah, we needed the
purpose. Yeah. Took a lot of meals in that thing.
Now. And I'm really going to get into this because this was a
dynamite thing to do. I followed your instructions, although I
did something really stupid, which I think may have
contributed to the success of the meal. Because you know, what
you do, the whole secret really is just throwing in a bottle of
wine. And that's really the secret to it. And that's just
gonna although you have a secret ingredient, which is the cooking
sock, I thought that was a that's a very cool thing to do
kind of after your second hour. But I had also asked you what
wine they should serve at the meal. And you had said you would
suggest the Cotuit on 2009 But 2010 or 2011 would do and so I
had found a Cotuit own and I think it was it was not cheap.
It was like 17 bucks or something. 2000 is expensive to
run but yeah, well it was so the mistake is I wound up pouring
that into the stew.
Technically meat, beef bourguignon, of course is a
variation on stew. The French version is made in Burgundy and
it's technically supposed to be made with a burgundy wine and I
suggested a piano Yeah, and you used instead of Serato or
actually a granola Roblin whatever's in the new nobody
knows what's in it have to go into ruins. So that would move
it would shift the flavor profile substantially but it
work. Well. Yeah, actually anyone will work I've cooked
those things up white wine.
But and what's great about this is the kitchen is clean when
everyone shows up. It's just clean. Yeah, everything's all
the messes. cleared the thing sitting there, it's just
bubbling along, John, they could not believe that like, you're
like, you're full of crap you've cooked before. You've done this
before. I have not no, never first time and I gave you full
credit. They all know who you are, of course, I gave you full
credit
for coaching. You know, I
said, it's I said, No, I said right down to buying the Dutch
oven today. So I was honest about it. But I didn't say was
birth beef burger and you and I just said it was double dip
recession slaves do. That's good. Yeah. So but anyway,
Oregon you own is a slave student be honest about it just
got a fancy name.
At a certain point. You know, there is a point in the evening
where they'll say to me, okay, Adam, so we're here for our
reality check. Like, what are you afraid of? Say what am I
afraid of? Nothing. I'm not afraid of a single thing. And
then Mickey bless her heart. He's like, Yeah, cuz we got
guns. I'm like, oh. And the heads whips like, what I mean,
you have a gun. Like, I got a gun in my car. And then I said,
and I have an AR 15. That semi automatic with big scary high
capacity magazines. It was just it was like it was that was the
moment that was a turning point. And like,
we'll leave at that point. No, no, no, I have nothing to
do. People like, you
know, I think they find it fascinating because they I can
see they're really, in fact, one of the one of the women said,
you know, Mickey's exponent, and we got to tone this down,
because, you know, people in Austin don't get it. We're
not in Texas, they Well, of course, you
know, people here in Austin, enjoy what Austin is, and I
believe part of, of what makes Austin Austin is because of it
being in Texas. And, you know, there's a lot of things that I
think benefits that come along with that. And one of them is
there's relatively low crime because and I believe that is
attributable, in large part to the fact that everyone's armed
certain types of crime for sure, are much lower than other
populations, populated areas. Because, you know, you don't
want to just carjack someone, you know, like Mickey could be
in the car and shoot, you know, you don't want to like try and
break into someone's house because you know, you can get
shot and I'd still happens, of course, and people are stupid.
But, you know, the conversation kind of turned to one of the
women saying, Yeah, you know, the other day I honked at
someone in traffic, I was like, Oh my God, you might shoot me.
You know, so, so people aren't. People are kind of afraid. And
it was interesting, just to see how. Yeah, just to hear the
conversation, you know, and of course, at some point, someone
said, you know, like, Oh, like that idiot, Sarah Palin. And you
know, you know, I can't stand that right. You know, I just
can't I can't take it. I'm like, Well, did you read her book? You
mean, what her ghost writer wrote? Which,
like, a knee jerk. Yeah.
And of course, what I could have said, which I didn't script,
yes. Like, you know, unlike Obama's script writers and, you
know, speech writers or ghost writer, whatever, but I didn't
say that. And let you're a bit. You're a better man.
Well, but here's what's interesting. And I said, you
know, free, because the women were really vocal about this.
And actually, the professor chimed in. Yes. Like, what?
She's an idiot. I'm like, wow, that's empirical evidence right
there for you Prof. Okay. She's nearly proof, because she can
see Russia from her door. Okay. But I said, I can't believe the
misogyny against Sarah Palin and you are women. What do you do?
And here's the line that got me. They felt that there was more
hate for Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin.
They said that Yeah.
I'm like, What are you talking about? First, the evidence is, I
mean, what are you talking about? And then of course, he
was like, even running
for president. She's polling higher than everyone how's that?
Where's the where is the
where's the hate hate? Where's the hate? That I was I was blown
away and like how can you're sitting here saying she's an
idiot you don't know the woman you haven't read her book? You
know you there's all these I know enough. It's what the
media's told you about it. You have no idea she ran a pretty
big state and people seem pretty happy with their oil money that
she fought for the people got their money which is unusual in
this country. Yeah, it's not like Texas is the handing out
their the oil money to everybody? Yeah, the big boys. I
didn't see no check anywhere anyway, so that's okay. But you
know, from from there, it just kind of disintegrated into into
name calling. Basic name call. And then and I did, I did. I did
pull out and it worked really, really well. And this is great
for those of you who will get into the conversation, you know
when so, you know, we're talking about gun control. And you know,
of course, I rolled out my look, you can't really legislate
crazy, you know what point, you know? Are you deemed medically
what was it mentally unhealthy? What's the word John dismissed,
hinged on and off the wall that you can't have a gun and then
you know, where does it go from there? You can't be around kids
and you shouldn't be within 100 yards of a school and you know,
where does it end? But then I said, but really? Your I said,
Your Democratic leaders I love saying that because if they say
Oh, I can always say I just didn't say that your Democrats,
your Democratic leaders. They don't give a rat's ass about you
all they care about. And they don't care about the legislation
either. It doesn't matter if it passes or not all they want is
to keep this conversation going because that will bring all the
Democrat Lee all the women will never ever ever vote Republican
again. You know, that's our that's our theme as to, you
know, our thesis that we've come up with as to why this is such a
big deal. And and they were smart. They went oh, well,
that's really working, isn't it? I see. Yep. And that was so
that, you know when you get someone who's willing to listen,
even an Obama bot? Yeah. And I don't know. I don't know what
they voted for. I'm just presuming I have no,
please. You didn't vote for Gary Johnson.
I think Jennifer asked Don't you have a hero said no. No,
that's sad. Just met your mom.
Now that's not that's that's really corny.
Totally corny. I wouldn't have done that.
So anyway, so yeah, so but it was a big hit. Really, really
big hit. And
what did you serve for wine since you dumped the expensive
coat thrown into the
they brought a they brought over 2010 Shiraz, which was something
that
was matched to me. Yeah, actually, that's actually
better. That would make the beef bourguignon cooked with the
Syrah. Grenache blend. Better combination with the wine.
Now there is something that goes along with
the what do you have for vegetables? You cook the
spinach?
Yeah, Mickey. Me and we tried yours the way you suggested the
spinach the day before? Like, it didn't work. Yeah, but it's I'd
like are way better. Okay. Yeah. No, your way was okay, you know,
just in the water and everything and then throw the butter in.
But I kind of like the just, I don't know. Yeah. No, that
didn't work for us. It just it was fine. But it didn't work for
us. And then we also did a goat cheese and pear salad, which had
Mickey actually did that was the presentation of that when you
get the presentation, right? Or that kind of salad. Dynamite?
Doesn't matter how it tastes. Okay.
To not do they invite you over is that the deal just like the
discreet charm of the bourgeoisie.
It's the brains it's the brain Professor next, who by the way,
agreed with us about that. Member, the yam, the brain guy
on NPR who was talking about he can predict if someone's going
to be a criminal or repeat criminal with his little test.
If you have to, if a y pops up, you hit the button. If an X pops
up, you hit the button and you're clearly a criminal.
Right? You're pathological murderer, right? So
the guy said, and I said, That guy's a douchebag. And he
agreed, oh, yeah, he's not only he's a douchebag, he wrote he
goes around the country with a mobile brain scanner to you
know, to show his theories. He says the guys that total it
there's a lot of animosity in this brain business. And, and
that whole Obama 100 million dollar thing he says it's kind
of bull crap, because 40 million of it was already appropriated
by DARPA. So he was like, wasn't really all new money and, and
everyone thought it was kind of weird. Even the brain guys don't
quite get it. I'm paraphrasing. But that's, that's what I was
left with. explained it better next time. Because they're
listening. They're on guard, too. I think that's a part. Are
you going to use this for the show? Yeah,
you're all listening now? Oh, yeah.
Exactly. Exactly. But but I didn't know. But at
least it's a fun. Conversational group. Not a bunch of dummies.
So
no, totally, totally. And Laurie is really she's an artist and
she's, she's really into the whole What do you call it? You
know, the, the art? No, no, the all the techno gadgets and
what's the transhuman? Trans humanization Oh, god,
yeah.
She should probably take a visit of Singularity University.
She'll probably be there with the Google Glasses next.
Exactly.
I can totally see her Are the Google Glasses. And
you know, Natalie del Conte is doing something like this. Oh,
no. heading in this direction. No, no, tell me it's not so.
Yeah, no, she was when she did the twit thing. So about a month
ago, she was talking about she's, she's got herself all
rigged up. So she knows her heartbeat it all the time is
just like some sort of self reflective thing. So you're
constantly, your blood pressure is in monitor if
you can get work with this stuff. So you can get gigs. I'm
telling you people gigs doing what?
Oh,
so Laurie is artists in residence at University of
Texas, doing all this stuff. And with the brain people, that's
how they know each other. You see? Now, huh? You can get good
gigs, wiring yourself up, you can get invited to conferences,
and you get free airfare and all kinds of stuff. It's good.
Just view the bull.
Just wear it whatever it is, just wear it. I keep saying I
can't stand this wearable computing stuff anyway, but I
did feel something's Your man is the future. Yeah, for real. I
did feel something kind that is a shift. And it was. And I kind
of figured out where it's coming from, I think with the
conspiracy theories, and how this is talked about now in
mainstream, we've already noticed this a couple of times.
And I'm going to say right up front. Again, I am fully
convinced now that Alex Jones is an agent of change and is
playing his part in being an idiot on mainstream television.
Or at least projecting himself in such a way that it's easy to
portray him as an idiot. Do really classify anyone who has
an alternative
idea. marginalization, technique, complete, yes,
marginalize
it. Thank you. Is that a Nazi? Thing? Must be
me. I don't think it was the Nazis that came up. I think
it's, I think is a straight out and out public relations effect,
maybe specialized or developed by Bearnaise?
Oh, yeah, that could be well, it's a possibility. And I've
also I think I figured out why? Because he really does the
mainstream media isn't really that important for them to say,
Oh, we have to knock these these these alternative news people
down a peg. And if that really was true, then they would come
after us which they're not because just weed no one
matters. I mean, it's so small on the on the big media scale,
even when Alex Jones has it's so incredibly small, a small, so it
has to be about something else. I think I figured it out. And
oh, yeah. Yeah, it's not that hard. But they're, they're given
that a couple of people who are telegraphing it and giving it
away now the first time. I really, this was a couple days
ago, right after the White House Correspondents Dinner when I
when I heard this. I'm like, Huh, wait a minute, there's
something going on here. This is Chuck Todd, who's with he's with
what does he and NBC. I think he's,
you know what, what, I wonder how many people realize that the
end when he did his, you know, there's always this part at the
end where they get serious for a minute. And that's usually the
point where presidents say, you know, I think the press has a
good job to do and I understand what they have to do. He didn't
say that he wasn't very complimentary of the press, you
know, we all can do better. He was it did seem I thought his
potshots joke wise, and then the serious stuff about the
internet, the rise of the Internet media and social media
and all that stuff. He hates it, okay. He hates this part of the
media. He really thinks that the sort of the buzz suffocation
this isn't just about BuzzFeed, or politico, and all this stuff.
But he thinks that sort of coverage of political media has
hurt political discourse. He hates it. And I think he's just
trying to make that clear last. So I'm
not so sure that you know, that that's entirely true. But I
think it's a signal to mainstream, like, we're going
after the crazies, and we're going to classify them as such.
And there is a benefit to which I think does fit in with the
President's next or upcoming mission, and really where all
the money is, because if you're not following the money, then
who then no one cares. But first, I need to bring in MSNBC,
Martin Bashir and Martin we sort of creep. Yeah, this guy is very
creepy. Actually, I don't watch his show. But someone alerted me
to what was going on. And there was this whole segment he had on
and so and I pulled out as much of that as possible, because
it's all they're really taking Alex Jones to task. And like,
why why did these guys care? I mean, who gives a crap about
what what Alex Jones does, why would they care at all and why
would they make such a big deal out of it? And, well, here's a
couple of just interesting clips that I that I pulled, which kind
of gives you an idea of what's going on In the early 2000s, so
I'm sorry, he has a guest on one guy is selling a book and
another guy is from huffing, The Huffington Post. And I think
this is the Huffington Post guy,
a lot of progressive sites, including daily coast, I think
even even the Huffington Post said, we're not going to publish
anybody that's doing any 911 truth or not, we're not going to
get into it. You know, it's a free country.
So it's interesting that the Huffington Post decided that
they wouldn't do that
first amendment, the big internet and go ahead and create
your own WordPress blog and write whatever you want about
it. But you're not going to talk about that here. The right did
not do that, when it came to birthers. And so all of a
sudden, you had this this this, this combination of of them not
believing the quote unquote, liberal media, you know, they
don't trust the media as an institution. A lot of them don't
trust the government either, you know, Waco and Ruby Ridge and
all that stuff.
Why would we trust the government after Waco and Ruby
Ridge and all that's been really
after Waco and Ruby Ridge they don't trust the government
nobody was indicted. There. You know, who was the sniper who
killed the poor guy's wife. It's interesting, though that the log
and nobody does anything about it when somebody you know,
sneezes while there's a burglar in your part of the park, part
of the conspiracy.
It's interesting, though, when the way he says it and the way
Bashir agrees. It's like, they're both saying, yeah, how
could you even think about the government being wrong in those
cases? That was so so justified, I mean, listen to enough
of them not believing the quote unquote, liberal media, you
know, they don't trust the media as an institution, a lot of them
don't trust the government either, you know, Waco, and Ruby
Ridge and all that stuff, right? You get that tax toxic
combination. And then you get establishment figures in the
Republican Party backing up this birtherism. And then you have
these email chains that are whipping around the country. And
they would use as validation, they would say, you haven't seen
this on the mainstream media, therefore, it's true. The fact
that the media would not validate it to them validate
Gyptian Yeah, he's
so crazy, if we should, just the crazy thought that if we're not
looking at it, that it's that could be true.
The fact that the media was validated, to them validates
incredible. People like Eric Erickson does
an incredible, just incredibly stupid. And so they also attack
back, which I think is, is probably justified, but then
this is really fun. This is really funny. Listen to the
discrepancy. And here's the the douchebag, who's not the
Huffington Post douchebag, some other guy or whatever, but
you'll hear it's really funny what happens in his in his 52nd
Elia,
we play some sound of Glenn Beck linking what happened in Boston
disgracefully to Auschwitz. And let me show everyone a picture
of that. There you can see back a picture of Boston, and in the
bottom right corner, his new book on the truth about gun
control. In the end, this is all just about peddling books and
advertising their brand, isn't it?
Of course, and you know, eventually it got fired from
Fox, because they started to lose advertisers and my book,
which isn't out yet, but it's coming out so I find this
training a clip of the day.
Like it's like, it's disgraceful. Glenn Beck is
selling a book, but in my book, which is coming out next month.
What are you kidding me? In my book, which is not yet but
that's coming out in a month? Like explain how at one point,
Steve Jobs, the late Steve Jobs, heard that Glenn Beck could call
Obama a racist. And he ordered all Apple ads off of Fox and he
said, No, it can't wait till Monday. This was on a Friday
that had happened. And they had to go out to a transmission
facility and pull out a digital file to make sure that all Apple
ads were all Fox. Now, not long after that Beck was fired by
so this so here he is, with the revelation that Glenn Beck was
fired because Steve Jobs made it so which I find an interesting
connection. So
let's see if you know, that it may or may not be true. i It's a
possibility because he was very fickle. And jobs was a huge
Democrat. Yeah, Clinton over his house. And he was he was a, you
know, neoliberal DEM. Anybody out there? And so I could see
him doing like all rich Americans.
He was a Democrat. Like the true the true wealthy in America. He
was a Democrat.
No, like, super rich, with very few exceptions, or almost all
Democrats. Because Because the idea of that party wants to keep
people in their place. Yes. And so if you're in your place, and
you're up at the top there, great. So anyway, the that's
that makes
sense. And well, so so bear with me now, by
the way, which brings us back to our model.
Well, you Before we get into that, because it is important is
an important part of our model because this guy, I have more
questions I want to play that he literally is saying the way we
have to get rid of these crazy fringe people. Glenn Beck is
arguably fringe he's making a lot of money with his radio show
is by going after the advertiser. So he keeps saying
go after the advertisers go after the advertisers, this is
how you bring them down. And that's really what this
conversation is about. Now, on the heels of this, we've had a
lot of articles salon is out front. But you'll see more of
this. And the article that came out today is Alex Jones
conspiracy Inc. And so they they show you and there's a cool
picture of him with just you know, big wads of cash all
around his head. And and the shows how they break down quite
in detail. And I'm not sure if it's right or not, but in
detail, they break down how much money he must be making. And you
know, there's a guest somewhere between six and $8 million a
year with you know, all the stuff you would see. Sounds
sounds sounds what? seeds seeds sounds reasonable sound? Yeah, I
think it's reasonable between six and 8 million probably. You
know, and let's see, how does it end up? You know, of course it
talks about you know, crazy conspiracy theories. And the
whole idea is that these are conspiracy entrepreneurs. or
less. Yeah. Yeah. Conspiracy. So that's what they call it. Yeah.
Conspiracy entrepreneurs, conspiracy, Inc. and, and this
is what everyone's trying to be pigeonholed in is the Alex Jones
up front and he's doing a very good job of that. I have to say,
the leader he's the leader is really hurting everybody else
really is hurting them with his insane because he is insane.
It's insane behavior. When he makes it to me, since he's
insane. Just seeds. And in my face. It's you know, and it's
hurting, it's hurting because then you get this kind of stuff.
And the marginalization is beginning. And you know, then
you have to yell a lot louder. Because then we
which makes you sound insane. Yeah, well,
yes, it does.
It's, of course it makes him it's certainly the only thing
that makes this show work is you.
so down to earth you are yes, right and I can cook us do.
So then. There are two other articles one was republished in
salon, how conspiracist think but it comes from Scientific
American, not Scientific American using this would be
kind of scientific, wouldn't you?
Of course, unless you've actually followed the fact that
Scientific American went off the rails. Yeah, probably 15 years
ago, when they essentially became water. They essentially
threw themselves threw themselves under the bus of pop
science and became pretty useless. Right?
Well, but it's just as much about science as the Federal
Reserve is a part of the government. Let's put it that
way. Right. It works though people think Federal Reserve
that's part of the government people think Scientific
American. That's real science. So here is this is written by
sounder funder Linden, who seems like a Dutch guy, but he may he
may be a Dutch heritage, but that's not clear in his bio. The
title here is Moon fat and Moon Landing faked why people believe
in conspiracy theories. And here it is new psychological research
helps explain why some see intricate government
conspiracies behind events like 911, or the Boston bombing. And
right off the bat he Telegraph's what his article was really
about. Did NASA fake the moon landing? Is the government
hiding Martians and area 51? is global warming a hoax? And what
about the Boston Marathon bombing an inside job perhaps.
And then he promotes this book the empire of conspiracy and it
really doesn't it doesn't go into anything at all. But he
does bring it around back to global warming. And I'll just
skip to the end. All these articles of course are in the
show notes even with archived versions at 509 dot n a show
notes.com. And so since a number of studies have shown the belief
in conspiracy theories is associated with feelings of
powerlessness, uncertainty and a general lack of agency and
control. Unlikely purpose of this bias is to help people make
sense of the world by providing simple explanations for complex
social events, restoring a sense of control and predictability. A
good example of that is climate change.
You know what's interesting I interrupt you there when I like
the way he uses his adjectives to say a simple explanation the
anti the anti warmest the people who believe global warming is
not what it's it's purported to be. Those explanations they have
are any thing but simple bite the guy sent you a link to one
of this studies of this guy whose actual the idol expert I
put it in he says the problem is is that these computer models
are bullcrap. But he's done
out, I'm gonna let you get to all of that, because that's
where we're headed. But I need to make the bridge so people
understand what's going on what's happening right now, and
why this conspiracy theory stuff is taking place. So he brings
this around, and I'll skip to the very end here. A good
example of that is climate change. While the most recent
international scientific assessment report giving,
receiving input from over two and a half 1000 independent
scientists from more than 100 countries, sciences in concluded
with 90% certainty that human induced global warming is
occurring. The severe consequences and implications of
climate change are often too distressing and overwhelming for
people to deal with both cognitively as well as
emotionally resorting to easier explanations that simply
discount global warming as a hoax is then of course much more
comforting and convenient, psychologically yet, as Al Gore
famously pointed out, unfortunately, the truth is not
always convenient. So I'm like, Who is who is this douchebag?
Here he is, and this is what led me down the path. So I'm in
front of Linda is a doctoral candidate in social
environmental psychology at the London School of Economics and
Political Science, and currently a visiting research scholar with
the Yale project on climate change communication at Yale
University. His research focuses on behavioral change the cycle,
the psychology of communication, and the construction of human
risk perception. I think Goebbels is one of his
professors. Because this thing at Yale, and you've got to take
a look at this. This is the Yale project. It's often called the
Yale project on climate change. But it's not really that it's
the Yale project on climate change communication. And they
have come out with a number of reports the most recent report,
extreme weather, weather and climate change in the American
mind. This is report from April 2013. But the one that interests
me the most, is the one from December 2012. Global warming
Six Americas because there are six types of Americas John, can
you believe it? There's the kind of America that totally believed
in global warming all the way down to the dismissed, die. No,
the DIS the dismissive VHS. We are the dismissive VHS. And this
guy shows up on Bill Moyers, which is a part of PBS.
Right? And lares is part of the system,
right? And Bill Moyers does an hour long interview with him? I
mean, an hour long interview
as the ending the silence on climate change with Bill Moyers.
I'm sorry? No, it's a different one. No, I don't I can't find
all. The guy's name. The guy's name is Lucero. It's,
where are you getting this? December date? I can't find it
on the site.
Oh, look in the right hand side. You see, there's a 2012 Six
Americas report. What are you looking at the Yale climate
change communication site? Bridging science and technology?
Yeah, a see on the right. Okay, there it is. Okay. All right.
And it's really boring. It's just a whole bunch of graphs and
crying
out which of the six American don't you wait,
don't click on that. I'm going to do the quiz with you don't do
it now. Don't click
next. I can promise you won't click because there's so much. I
click on the PDF. I didn't click on it. Don't don't
click on the test. Please. Please, please. Okay. Okay.
Okay. So let's just listen to if I this morning at the breakfast
table with Miss McKee, I had the clip a couple things. So here's
this is the spokes hole. And first of all, let's find out
about this science, because this is he's going to break it down
for us explain how this science is correct?
And what is the role of religious faith in answering it?
What do you say to the secularist?
I say, let's engage on the science. Let me hear what your
arguments are. And then let's respond to them. And I would ask
in turn that you listen to what the scientific community has to
say.
Are you ready? If you think you can explain it, what the
scientific community has to say, John, are you ready for it?
They never listen or you stand by.
It's perfectly fine to have a great conversation with many
people about the science itself, because the silence is the
science is so robust. At this point, I mean, we have basically
known for over 20 years now I just
shouted down everybody listen, the scientists robust standby,
that they shouted down and
be quiet now. Otherwise, you're gonna miss it.
It actually boils down for all the complexity as a science it's
really quite simple. It's real.
For all its complexity, it's it's real. Okay,
shut up as real climate
change is real. It's really hot. It is mostly human caused this
time. Most men climate change this time is over many millions
of years in the Air Ask that had nothing to do with human beings,
this little piece of propaganda. Oh, yeah. Already sign.
It's mostly well keep going, Yeah, being caused by
our activities. Third, it's going to be bad. In fact, it's
bad now and worse is going to be bad for if there's hope that
there are lots of solutions already on the table.
All right. So now he's going to explain, explain what this
means, you know, this, this rising of the temperature? What
do you mean? What is this? What is the best? Remember, this is a
professor in climate change communication, he runs the whole
department, it is a PR guy, da, what do you think? What do you
how? What analogy? Could you use? That would work with stupid
slaves who are going to buy into this?
I don't know if he has a simple analogy, because people often
will say, Well, you know, for five degrees, that doesn't sound
like very much. I mean, I see the chick temperature change
more from night today. But it's the wrong way to think about it.
I mean, think about when you get sick, and you get a fever, okay,
your body is usually at 90 Point 98.7 degrees. If you your
temperature rises by one degree, you feel a little off, but you
can still go to work, you're fine. It rises by two degrees,
and you're now feeling sick. In fact, you're probably going to
take the day off, because you definitely don't feel good. And
in fact, you're getting everything from hot flashes to
cold chills. I love it. At three degrees, you're starting to get
really sick and at four degrees and five degrees, your brain is
actually slipping into a coma. Okay, you're close to death, the
Earth
has a fever. And it's going to die. The earth was slipping into
a
coma guys, was it this the same group that as we were reading
earlier, bitch about the the the people who are anti warmist as
being simple. Yes, is the most simple minded analogy. That
means nothing, no.
Okay, so now let's find out about these six Americans,
somebody
I think that come back to that if the if Moyers Robert Morris
would never do this thing. Well, yeah, that could be true. But
the but the, the range of temperatures that the human body
can endure is minimal. The range of temperatures on Earth at any
given time starts at minus 30 or minus 50 degrees. The 120
Earth has a fever, John, John, Mother Earth has a fever. She's
not feeling good. The classes I don't use about the six
Americans. So we'll find out who we are
soon I think about the potential solutions. So for them, it's
really just basic awareness that they need to be engaged.
Alright,
let's get to the dismissive because this is where this is
where it all starts to come together,
to last groups, one is what we call the doubtful about 13% of
the public doubtful. These are people who say, Wow, I don't
think it's happening. But if it is, it's natural, nothing humans
had anything to do with and therefore nothing we can do
anything about. So they don't pay that much attention. But
they're predisposed to say not a problem. And then last, but not
least 8% of Americans are what we call the dismissive. And
these are people who are firmly convinced it's not happening.
It's not human cause. It's not a serious problem, and many are
what we would lovingly call conspiracy theorists
lovingly
call conspiracy theories, is even better. It's a whole
data meeting to use that one.
It's scientists making up data, it's a un plot to take away
American sovereignty and so on,
Uncle Phil, and he's a nicest guy. He's a little nutty. He's
when you're on a poor man Can't he gets lost if he goes outside,
but we'd love Uncle Phil, he's really deeply a deeply nice,
nice person, person here, we
got serious problem, and many are what we would lovingly call
conspiracy theorists. They say it's a hoax. It scientists
making up data, it's a un plot to take away American
sovereignty and so on. Now, that's only 8%. But they're very
well mobilized organized and loud. 8% and they've tended to
dominate the public square. Okay.
So here's what I love how he says, Okay, after every sentence
is like, it's almost so Silicon Valley. Guys go and go. Right.
So you have the transmogrified Google Glass, which is perfect
for everyone wants one, right? And then you know, discussing
Okay, okay. He says a real soft, okay, six
totally different audiences that need completely different types
of information and engagement to to how to deal with this issue.
So one of the first tasks and you know this as a communicator,
as well as I do, one of the first rules of effective
communication is Know thy audience,
know thy audience. It's, it's one of the commandments, I
think, Know thy audience. So, of course, Know thy audience. You
know, you have to understand though, John, this very small
group this, but who are the loudest you know why they're
loud, don't you? You know why? You know why, like us? I mean,
you and I, clearly, clearly were financed by one horrible
polluting compounds,
oil companies, so we get a check every week. I just get
this is like it's wheelbarrows coming in wheelbarrows of cash,
even
the environment as a category never gets above say one or at
most 2% of total news coverage. But it's not just the amount of
media coverage. It's also the fact that there's been a very
active disinformation campaign information campus
listens only listens to Fox i Yeah, yeah.
That's been going on for many years. It's very well
documented.
That was fun, very well documented. Do you have canceled
checks to show or some fairly, certainly
a risk documentation? Yeah,
originally and still to this day, driven by fossil fuel
company interests, who are the world's most profitable company
and get ready for it? I mean, they're very happy. Thank you
very much with the status quo. Okay, so what okay,
what are they seeing in this disinformation campaign? Well,
historically,
this has been the key strategy
all along. And here's something that Michael Creighton was
talking about in 2005. In fact,
it's a strategy that was lifted explicitly directly out of the
tobacco wars, which is, make people think that the science is
still unsettled. And if my perception is that the experts
are still arguing over whether the problem exists. As a
layperson, my tendency is to say, well, you know, I'll let
them figure it out. And, you know, I'll, I'll take this as
much more seriously, once they, they've reached their
conclusion.
So, so this, of course, is, you know, people who said that, you
know, it's like, basically, they're, they're equating the
tobacco industry to the fossil fuel industry.
And yeah, that's a really good way to go through a couple of
things in it, unless you're still industry, right.
Well, I wanted to give you two more things, because I figured
you're just gonna go off and have a question for and I think
we should do the test. The climate, the climate,
this interruption won't change anything, please go. But the
this idea of the oil companies oil companies are moneymakers.
There's no doubt about it. But what they do is they they drill
holes and make money from when it comes out. And then they own
the generally owned product when it should be shared in some
instances, like it is in Alaska and Ecuador and places like
that. But they they've they've managed that they're evil, if
anything is affected, they don't share the wealth. They are
nothing like the the tobacco companies who are in front of
Congress lying. In fact, the oil companies having worked for one
and then was an air pollution inspector and another one for
the government. I can say, honestly, that they're not like
that at all. They I when I was working for him for union oil,
they were all in on peak oil. Yeah. And they were discussing
openly the the issues that you know, what are we going to do in
the future if things you know, crap out and they they're not
sitting around like these tobacco guys were and it was
only the tobacco executives that were ditching reports. There's
no reports that they're hiding, and this is booth bullcrap is
what I'm saying.
I want to take the test real quick with you don't worry,
because based upon your answers, it won't be very long. But it's
so this is the test that they actually use to come up with
this 8% number, which is why I thought it was interesting to
take it. So I have your age is 61. Your gender male, what's
your zip code is 9094107. Is that close enough?
It's good enough to use any next question.
Okay. Recently, you may have noticed that global warming has
been getting some attention in news global warming refers to
the idea. This by the way is KQED This is PBS this is your
boys over here in San Francisco. This is your public media online
helping them with this Bogota madness. Okay, global warming
refers to the idea that the world's average temperature has
been increasing over the past 150 years, maybe increasing more
in the future and the world's climate may change as a result.
What do you think? Do you think that global warming is
happening? answer's yes. No, don't No.
I think it is. I would put yes on that because I think it's a
cycle because cycle
Yeah, good. Because of your last answer, you do not need to
answer anything here. Please go ahead to the next question. I'll
do it next question Hold on. Don't have to do for okay, if
global warming is happening Do you think it is one caused
mostly by human activities two caused mostly by natural changes
in the environment? Three other or four? None of the above?
Because global warming isn't happening.
I would say two
natural changes to the environment. Okay, next
question. How worried are you about global warming very
worried somewhat worried? Not very worried. Not at all
worried? Not at all. Not at all worried Okay, here we go.
Because we're gonna determine your category. How much do you
think global warming will harm you personally great deal a
moderate amount not at all don't know.
Like go does it is there not was read those again.
So how much do you think global warming will harm you?
Personally a great deal, a moderate amount? Not at all or
don't not at all? Not at all. Okay, what do you think? When do
you think global warming will start to harm people in the
United States? They see how they're leading you down a path.
Now you can't go Yeah.
I said, it's not going to harm me, but they're gonna like the
EU and having
to go.
Well, you do have some answers. There. They are being harmed
now, in 10 years, 25 years, 50 years, 100 years or never?
Well, I would say, Never. But I could also say they're being
harmed now, by the propaganda.
You know, that's not the right answer. I'll say never know,
it's specifically global warming up the global warming
propaganda. That'd be a derivative of the global warming
will go to the next question. How much do you think global
warming will harm future generations of people? So you
can't get out? You already? Don't have to answer the same
question. A great joke as moderate amount not at all or
don't? No, not at all. I
would presume, right? That's fine. You don't know either one.
Okay. How much Had you thought about global warming before
today? A lot, some a little or not at
all? Not at all? Well, no, some. So as we
talked, we talked about that's what I answered to how important
is the issue of global warming to you, personally, extremely
important, very important, somewhat important. Not too
important, not at all important?
Well, because we discuss it so much in the show. It's somewhat
important.
I answered this the same way I answered. Honestly, I could
easily change my mind to blog about global global warming
strongly agree somewhat agree, somewhat disagree strongly
disagree?
Easily. Is the is the operative? Word. Yes. The operative adverb
I think, I would say was REME again.
Strongly Agree, somewhat agree, somewhat disagree? Strongly
disagree?
I don't know that was somewhat disagree.
We're almost done. How many of your friends share your views on
global warming? None? A few, some, most
or all? Some?
Are you sure it's not a few? What's the difference between
some and you get a few? I think it's more a few than some? Yeah,
exactly. What are you talking about?
Yeah, I'm in the right. Right. If I was in the city, I
was calling me go away. You crazy. Global warming? Oh, which
of the following statements clumped comes closest to your
view. And that says a big one. Global warming isn't happening.
Humans can't reduce global warming, even if it is
happening. Humans could reduce global warming, but people
aren't willing to change their behavior. So they're not going
to humans could reduce global warming. But it's unclear at
this point, whether we will do what's needed, or humans could
reduce global warming, and we're going to do so successfully.
I would have that second answer. Humans can't do crap.
Okay, even if it's happening. Okay, good. Got it. Do you think
citizens themselves should be doing more or less to address
global warming much more more doing the right amount less or
much less? So it's also a trick question.
I would say less less. Okay.
I wonder what category you're going to be. I'm about to find
out over the past 12 months, how many times have you punished
companies that were opposing steps to reduce global warming
and by not buying their products? Oh, that is
disgusting. So you can do say never once a few times, several
times, many times? I don't know. It's not a it's not a horrible
question.
They ask the opposite question. Well, that makes it tells you
you punish companies that promote global warming agenda on
there.
Let me see. Next question on there. Let me see. Do you think
global warming should be a low, medium high or very high
priority for the President and Congress low, low? And the final
question. people disagree whether the United States should
reduce greenhouse gas emissions on its own or make reductions
only if other countries do too. Which of the following
statements comes closest to your own point of view, the United
States should reduce its greenhouse gas emissions,
regardless of what other countries do? Only if other
industrialized countries such as England, Germany and Japan
reduce their emissions? Only if other industrialized countries
developing countries such as China, India and Brazil reduce
their emissions? Not at all or don't know.
Well, doesn't hurt. But I'd say not at all insofar as that
question is concerned, okay.
Not at all. And here we go your climate profile? Guess what,
what, John C. Dvorak, you are a dismissive How can I be a
dismissive? That's right. You want it? Would you like to know
what this means?
Because if I'm a dismissive those earlier questions that I
answered ambiguously don't aren't invalid. They did. They
don't count for anything
in the United States, so the dismissive are mostly white male
concern But I have an Republican, they are politically
active strongly religious, and the group most likely identify
themselves as born again or evangelical Christians.
What a crowd that is. That doesn't apply to me in the
least.
Sorry, I'm the same. Amen, you
might have to dismiss it. Amen. My brother, I can tell you what
the answer should be for a dismissive I think it's all
bullshit.
People in the dismissive groups missive believe that global
warming is not happening. And if it is, it is caused by natural
changes in the environment. Most believe there is a lot of
scientific disagreement about the issue. Let me just say
something about this. Consensus is not science. Science is not
consensus. Science is empirical facts with repeatable,
repeatable processes. Not a model that predicts something
like, you know, the children of Britain will never see snow
except in a snow globe. Okay. Science is not consensus. Am I
wrong about this, John?
No, it has to be repeatable and observable, and you can't and
everything like that. In fact, we have it in the show notes one
of the we had some one of our listeners are you guys are
idiots for thinking that the world's not coming to an end?
Yeah. And he went on about it. And you know, I find it very
insulting because of the way he phrases but then again, emails
naturally. I could be wrong, but I blew up. Yeah.
That was I was funny. Yeah, I
know, you get the biggest kick when I do that. So it would do
it about once a month I get on some poor guys case, there is an
upside to all this, but it will let me finish the the one thing
that we have in the shownotes is the guy who went out and
actually checked the tide, the tides, he says, you can talk all
you want about the these computer models. And by the way,
we had a big fiasco recently about computer models and the
world's economies, because somebody had the wrong formula
in an Excel spreadsheet. This happens all the time.
Or how about the vault member, the volcanic ash that erupted it
was going to blow it was going to know all airplanes had to
stop no flying, we had to stop flying because the planes are
going to be crashing everywhere. It was the most beautiful flying
weather ever. Remember that? We had we had pilots emailing me,
like this is crazy. It's fantastic here because they
predicted where the cloud was going. And they were wrong.
Yeah, they can't even predict that. And so we have this, this
these problems. And the course of the guy goes on measures all
the ties that are supposed to have gone up and down in the
rest. And he finds a lot of them are gone down. And the title
differences and he doesn't see it. He says I went out and
looked I went from you know, he's a big shot in this. He goes
around the world. And he says I've not seen anything that
they're talking about. There's no evidence.
Well, there may be some reverse evidence.
Yeah, well, there could be the global knowledge. Well, no,
there's a
resolution and Congress. Now resolution is not a law. But it
is, you know, I guess it's to make everyone feel good. So they
can have a drink and say, well, good job, Joe. Good day at the
office. The resolution in Congress says that climate
change is forcing women into prostitution. Oh,
I love this one. So there's upside to everything. Yeah,
well,
so here it is the resolution whereas women will
disproportionately face harmful impacts from climate change,
insecure women with limited socio economic resources may be
vulnerable to situations such as sex work, transactional sex,
which by the way, is called marriage. Okay. Let me just
define that for you. And early marriage to put them at risk of
HIV. Oh, you're gonna be a horror and have AIDS because of
climate change. This is insane. Okay, this is just insane. I
love this thing. I'm glad you brought it up. I forgot about
it. Yeah, you're gonna be a horse with a warm
now Okay, so let's just follow the money for a moment. And this
is I think, where this guy messes up, because I think he's
lying. And I believe because you, you are much more involved
at the time. Because of course, what this really the way I see
it is the whole climate change thing not about saving the
Earth, no one gives a crap about you or the earth, these guys
don't care. It's about taking your money in the form of a tax,
a carbon tax, and it will be for everything like, oh, you talk
too much. You know, what the tax that Australia now has this. So
it's an actual tax. And from what I understand, the idea is
to take that money, and then go help the poor black children in
Africa. But of course, we do that with our American
companies. We're not going to give them with the big giant
check like congratulations, kids. Here's your money. Here's
your money. No, no, you give it to American companies like
Halliburton and Bechtel and you give it to all the big guys this
is what we do. We have war for the same reason. Okay, we go Do
you shoot up Iraq? Why is Winco rebuild it? Good work,
everybody. So here's where this guy screws up. And there's
actually a historical
precedent we used to have a huge acid rain problem in this
country. We created essentially a cap and trade system is that
true? We had a cap and trade system for acid rain.
Yeah, where we kept the amount of of sulfur dioxide being
emitted from the smokestacks brought that kept down over
years and allowed companies to sell their emission rights
between each other so a company that was really good at reducing
their emissions could sell that remaining block to another
company that needed more time. He was one of the most
successful programs in an American history. It was put it
was put on the table and passed by a Republican President, the
First George Bush, Bush Senior and it solved the problem or
largely solved the problem at a cost far below what even the
best estimates at the time were
so you're the expert here John, how is this cap and trade not
the same cap and trade that is being discussed where I believe
all the money is and what this whole thing is about
right? Now there's evidence that the whole acid rain thing was a
hoax No, you don't say and so they but I remember that year it
was everything 60 minutes report and they will they would show
they will show some old statue in Italy with it's just dead
face was dissolved like
from acid rain.
Rain in the back please rolled it falling apart from acid rain.
I gotta fight I gotta find that statue in Italy. As face eaten
off acid rain I'm sure it's on. So good stay and
put the cap and trade in all these stories and in the success
of the whole thing was to get this in place and then became
some sort of became systemized I think right now because there's
such resistance 8% A lot of people that are an apparently if
I'm Catholic, categorizing it to get the number up to 8% by
putting me in the dismissive category rounds indicates that
they're freaked so what the here's what the goal is you put
it you get the cap and trade you get the carbon tax you get all
that in nothing really changes in it and we point this out we
pointed it out before and it should be pointed out the same
thing with acid acid rain cap and trade is an insincere
version of of a solution because if you think there's a problem,
you cap you don't trade right you just say we got too much of
this too much of that we can't do it anymore, you cap it that's
what air pollution laws did know you're getting fined if this
comes out of that smokestack you can't trade the pollution for
some other places not polluting but you know pollution does it
the general pollution laws don't have cap and trade cap and trade
doesn't change anything. It just creates a new system of passing
money around the idea It seems to me is to get a cap and trade
in place and then you just stop talking about it and then 10
years down the road you say man that cap and trade worked like a
champ global warming is over
yeah and okay and so I'll pile on with you and I'll say the
reason why they need to do it now is because we're going into
a little mini ice age we are going into a true global cooling
and they need to do it now before the UK otherwise you
can't do that you can't claim victory in a couple of years.
Well you have to get this done. Yeah, here's the true
climate change right here. This thing this thing is making
climate change happen in Austin Texas. I'll tell you that this
rain sick today again 65 degrees rain fantastic book
asked gonna be washed down the road are you on a hill? Are you
high enough that the floods won't get
we're good? Yeah, we're totally good. We're good here. So I
think I think that there is a concerted effort to categorize
all alternative media is crazy conspiracy theory conspiracy
industry. And the Alex Jones got to see guy
you know, I listen to Alex we get these letters. I listen to
Alex Jones. Do you guys like Alex Jones? Aren't you how come
you don't mention Alex Jones but once you play some Alex Jones
clips I played Alex Jones clip and so it's like, but we also
get letters to say you know I listen to you guys and I listen
to Alex Jones and I don't listen to Alex Jones anymore. We
have luckily we get more of those also. Yes. Luckily we get
more of those and the reason why we can have this conversation
like this. And the reason why we're not profiled as morons is
a we're not morons. To this is. And three, we have our value for
value model, which means people who like listening to our
analysis who do not want to know who know that we're not
compromised by disinfo campaign from big polluters. Because if
we were high be rich. Think about
it. Think about it. Can we get oh yeah, no, we'd be rolling in
dough,
then we are the perfect you
wouldn't be bitched about your used car.
No, no, I would not know. Did you see that tweet? Which one?
So, okay, so I finally got it together.
Let me get delivery. Let me let's use that as the beginning
of the show. That leads you see that tweet leads?
Okay, well, here's what happened. Um, so I, I, I guess
it didn't work last time. But finally I figured out I did the
online thing to get rid of the Range Rover, which is the tires
and now square, you know, under the oak tree is filled with
goop. You know, won't start anymore. You know, it's got
lemon,
or just don't take long to start to fall apart if you just leave
them alone. Yeah, well, I wrote lemon on
the side as you suggested to see if if Range Rover USA would do
something they didn't.
They didn't see it because you get the thing under an oak tree.
And so you complete the process. And I did it with Make A Wish
Foundation. Lemon. What is your suggestion? No, it's
a really good idea. But you're supposed to drive it around. Oh,
well, so I
did. I did. I donated it to the Make a Wish Foundation. I've
worked with them before. I think they're pretty good
organization. Yeah, me I check all those forms. And
everything's even like total a holes and I've done stuff for,
like kids who are dying to have a wish. And, and so I complete
the process. And I mean, it's like one of those things where
you click the last button and that actually sends out a tweet.
Which I didn't really like, okay, whatever. So it sends out
a tweet. I donated my car to wheels for wishes to help make a
wish to help make a wish come true for a local child. Right?
Okay. But then I get this tweet. From love luck, Liberty. You got
your pathetic 1500 deduction but loaded up more debt for the poor
to make up for it. Clap clap clap. What the hell is that?
Ah, that's hilarious. How in
the world does my tax deduction of $1,500 load up more debt for
the poor?
You You bastard.
How does that work? John? What did I not? What am I doing wrong
with it? I know what you're doing wrong is having assholes
like wow, yeah. So that really hurts. I'm like, oh, humanity is
gone. That's just this is not good. This human and we're it's
over? Yeah, that's my big $1,500 deduction. Whoo. Look at
everybody here I come
into the country is going down the tubes because of that. Yeah.
Let's thank snake a few producers. Yes, we do. Oh, and
I'd
like to. I want to read a quick note from Sir Dr. Sharkey. Okay.
And he says, I listed my executive producer status on my
LinkedIn page. And he wants us to know he's gotten more
messages asking you about that credit than anything else. So
this is this is good information. That's a great
information because we always tell people that these are real
credits. You can put them on your IMDB on your wiki page, and
you can put it on your business card, but put it on your
LinkedIn profile. And apparently you get a lot of heat for a lot
of action and this guy's a successful doctor.
Okay, I think everyone out there who's got a LinkedIn account I
should do that. Yeah,
it's a very good idea and and I think there's a way don't we
have no agenda LinkedIn thing so we can all LinkedIn to there
is a link there is a club. Yeah.
Okay. So LinkedIn to the club. I'm not I'm on but I never look
at it.
So well, yeah. But you put it on your bio. That's where you put
the
credit. Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
So we have a huge number of executive producer one with an
extremely long note, which I feel obliged to read. No, very
good. And this is Thomas Bedrick, in New Jersey was sent
in for a 350. And this note to me is highly entertaining. It's
a little long, but here we go. Dear Jordan and Albania. I'm
sorry to admit there's been a while since I've dropped the
donation. I was considering giving you guys a cut of my tax
break this year. But Pay Pal doesn't take kindly to negative
integers. Suffice it to say I've been a bit reluctant. But after
a short count, I had the sense he talks like this. Suffice it
to say I've had a bit been a bit reluctant. But after a short
conversation, the barber's chair this morning, I was reminded
that despite of all the unconventional sometimes off
kilter ideas that sometimes get fired around on the best podcast
in the universe, the news the general public swallows is
batshit insane. In fact, I thought I'd share here's the
Boston incident in a nutshell according
to my barber, okay, this will be good to go.
The younger brother and the older brother names not given
lived with their mother and grew up on welfare. They receive free
food free education and a free ride through college with
straight A's because that's what affirmative action does they're
all illegal immigrants and had been on the terrorist watch list
since birth. Yes, birth.
Let's write that one now
after the bombing which was likely some shorter sort of
depleted uranium Dirty Bomb. A police chased them through town
gunned down one and ran him over twice to make sure he was dead.
And the other brother killed two cops stole a police car then hit
in a boat, while he tried to build more bombs with the boat
engine then tried to kill himself via a bullet to the
head, but he didn't know where his brain was. So he shot
himself in the throat. And after some of the best health care in
the world, he's now in good health and boxing in an amateur
circuit with the pseudo Nim cornflake. So the mother does
not wish to bury her dead son because the state won't cover
the funeral expenses. So she will probably donate his body to
science. On the bright side of all this crazy my hair cut came
out just fine
yeah, I believe by the way that that sort of thing is exactly
what
I'm amazed that to Thomas didn't send them send us like his
entire life savings after that.
Yeah, to be the most entertaining thing he started.
This may be his life savings. By the way. What am I saying? I'm
sorry. Yeah,
you need some karma if you well yeah,
thank you so much. What a great note to you've got calm. He's
actually kind of from my old stomping grounds there in Jersey
makes sense. Jersey, guys, they got their heads on straight.
Just gotta remind them where it is from time to time.
William Owens, sir Dugu in a floating around the military.
I'd like to thank you guys for the great shows. I have one
complaint my karma didn't work. It took an extra week getting
back from Afghanistan, which I didn't get to spend with my wife
as she used Hurley crap. out of the gate. They saw this they saw
the computer say hey, look at this. guy. He's certain Williams
he's he's, he's gonna meet up with his wife. You can see look,
look here on the computer.
Do then. You know what happens? You know what happened to me
last week? You know what happens then? They do porn pop ups.
Yeah, all right. Yeah. It's like also you get all kinds of porn
advertising when they do that to you.
Which I didn't get to spend with my wife. She used her leave. Did
we? Yeah, it had to stay in mana. So military version of
purgatory. The only reason I can think of is that my name was
incorrectly spelled as onus, o w n Es.
Can I do that? Right? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm an aihole.
So perhaps it went to the wrong? Yeah. This is what my wife sings
instead of Mrs. Jones and Billy Paul's me and Mrs. Jones. So I
served I don't understand that sense. But I sort of dug in Once
Upon once called upon once called a sand sailor, which
apparently the Navy is a term in the Navy. People call the Navy

sight unseen house buying karma. Man I asked time permitting

karma There you go. I'm so sorry. I will do it properly

our formula is this we go out we hit people in the mouth
almost forgot to say in the morning to John C Dvorak to you
Adam curry in the morning and all ships at sea boots on the
ground feet in the water subs in the air and all the Knights and
Dames out there
Yes indeed. And I'm not saying in the morning to the chat room
because they're the douche they're
acting like to do it's due
today in the in the chat room. God knows God knows what's going
on.
Can we do a little break here and talk a little bit about the
EU? Oh, please. We got to deconstruct some stuff going on
with a Boston
Hold on a second
or maybe we need to do this one I forgotten about that one. To
go
before we go into any advertising I have a problem. I
got to resolve it. Oh, can I help? I have a you see there's a
musical song on here the this this song here that Frankie
Avalon is Didi Dinah. Yeah. And here's what's happened. But this
started about two weeks ago. I either wake up in the morning or
I start to hear this song in my head now like I'm wearing it and
I just started Oh, you're one of those things. It's one of those
you keep hearing these like when you can't do the two and you
can't get out of your brain? Yes. And I thought that about
about I don't know five or six days ago it It disappeared. And
then it came back again. Today I'm done off they're beaming at
me or what the deal is. It's not a you know, it's a song from the
50s and it's a stupid song.
So wait a minute, wait a minute. So you're now going to do the
courtesy of putting this stupid song and everyone else's head is
that the idea? Want
to know if anyone else has will ever see if this is some record
I don't know why it even showed up in my brain.
I do you guessed it right rather? That's right
oh my god, your brain is mush this is what this is what you
wake up singing in your head sorry.
Because so I think I mentioned this after some time midway and
no actually I remember exactly where it was. We were in Moab in
Utah on the on the last Hot Pockets tour. This started
happening to me. I've never had this in my life where I couldn't
get stuff out of it. And it's it what it started with was it
was.org/and
A you
know and I'm not quite sure why but I'd be you know, it'd be
like getting the trailer on hitched or whatever and I'm just
couldn't like He would and I'd have to like stop and take a
deep breath or or here's what I usually do if you have a song
stuck in your head and by the way it happens every day to me
now every day I wake up with a song in my head every single day
it's not this
you want to hear the song that I woke up with this morning
yeah okay
right
that's what that's what I
even have that song in your head well there's no i Well, the
hook is cocaine running around my brain but I had that in my
head because of Boston.
I'm not getting that connection because I can't understand the
lyrics of the song but that's just me. Okay, so
it's how do you spell New York Jim? And the guy goes any wo RK
said no, man. No, Jim, I tell you how you spell New York man,
a knife, a fork, a bottle and a cork. That's the way you spell
New York right on to that's dealing your cocaine around my
brain. And the reason why is because we had this Danny,
Danny, the secret China man, who I think is the same guy who was
Syrian, this Danny, now being interviewed as the the guy who
the extremists carjacked. Did you see this? They've
interviewed him now.
Does that make any sense when he wanted to really pretty much
remain anonymous and be called Danny?
Well, they've interviewed this is the new journalism. The way
you do it is you you get the silhouette. And then you turn a
vocoder on his voice. So So now everything is like, well, this
actually happened. I'm a whistleblower. I'm doing the
interview now. So this is the new journalism. And he and so
the reason why this was stuck in my head, and yeah, we can play
it. You want to listen to a little bit of this interview
with with Danny. This is CBS News. The Tiffany network who
now gets someone silhouette who and that is now your your
witness. Because of course, everyone knows you have to
protect the guy who was carjacked. Why?
Good evening. You're about to hear for the first time from a
man who got caught up in the terror in Boston two weeks ago,
and helped bring it to an end. An immigrant from China. He was
carjacked by the suspects, but he escaped and tipped off the
police. He worries even now for his safety so we concealed his
identity and altered his voice.
Why is he afraid for his safety? This is what I don't understand.
This sounds bogus. Why do you think he's afraid for his
safety? I have no idea I'm asking I really don't understand
don't know why he's afraid
of his safety. I mean, people just makes zero sense. But what
he
has to say he's gonna have to testify at a certain point. He's
gonna have to say yeah, they card Jack me. They took my car,
my brand new 2013 Mercedes SUV. I have a technology company.
John Miller has the interview.
This 26 year old Chinese entrepreneur who calls himself
Danny had just pulled over in his new Mercedes on this Boston
Street to send a text message when a man I think the
guy's smuggling horse or something is not an
entrepreneur. He's drug
dealers Mercedes, if I'm not mistaken so lock when you're
when you put it in drive and start driving.
It can be 1013 model that doesn't 10 bucks.
Dude, I bought Mickey a car from 2005 It has that it's a Ford
please jumped in.
I just want he's just a robbery you know, a lovely,
so you can't jump in a Mercedes. No, it's a jump in the backseat
of Mercedes. Are you already?
Are you already ruining the whole interview? Just because
you know it can't happen that way. Oh,
took out his Gong pointed to me. Hit me like you know I'm
serving. German accent is the point.
Let's listen to that again. Oh
on the street to send a text message when a man jumped in.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute, he stopped. me check. The guy just
jumped in in the locked Mercedes
this Boston Street to send a text message when a man jumped
in.
I swear he's just a robbery you know, luckily. So but uh, he
took out his gun pointed to me, hit me like, you know, I'm
serious. Don't be stupid.
But then he quickly realized this was more than just a
robbery.
He asked me a question like, Do you know the possible explosion
among the? I said yes. I get that. And I just care the police
me in Cambridge.
The gunman was Timberline
Sarnia. And this is exactly the guy he jumped into the locked
Mercedes and said, hey, you know, the Boston bombing? I did
that and I killed some cops, too.
She and his younger brother Joe Hart loaded their remaining
bombs into Danny's car. The two men spoke to each other.
Hope pop the trunk will you Danny, I gotta load some bombs
in your car.
Are they lugging these bombs around? And this is like a next
night. They've been lugging over the place
in no agenda shopping bags. I think they had the you know,
they had the 33 soon. Yes, they had the four elbow pipe bombs
and a pressure cooker
in Russian. Do you understand any words on their conversation?
I only heard one word is my heart. And
so this is why I woke up
because they're talking in Russian, this guy is Chinese.
And apparently he heard them say Manhattan. Which of course no
one says Manhattan. The old no one's going to New York City.
You don't say I'm going to Manhattan. Nobody says nope.
Manhattanites don't say Manhattan. It's the city. So
this is lies Red Hat.
That it seemed like they weren't going there.
Yeah, so I'm not going to go into New York. Because he asked
me on another credit she
enroute to a gas station. Danny's phone rang. It was his
roommate who wondered why he wasn't home. Tamra Lin.
Yeah. Okay, my his roommate that's a gay Chinese
entrepreneur now pulled the gun out.
If you don't want to meet up pick up the phone. I want to
pick it up. I want to say anything. So he told me that you
have to answer his phone. But if we use any single word in
Chinese have a caregiver allowance like
a Chinese guy.
He is Chinese. So when your roommate hears you speaking in
English, does he answer in English?
He answered in Chinese saying what it was like. Why? Why are
you speaking English? Are you okay? Are you okay? Okay, would
you have a gun to your head? Maybe by Russians? We're going
to Manhattan I think maybe you
Okay, okay. I just told him I'm gonna sneak over some some
reference prayers. Right? What happens then? So after I have
the phone terminal was Where have you seen good job
good job Good boy.
So at some point, you start thinking I need and
why does he call them Tamlyn at that point, why is he doesn't he
say the guy or the hijack or the car jack or the killer? Just
Tomlin was happy he said Good job Good boy.
I got a I was looking at my list of stuff and I'm and I was
listening to that clip at the same time. Why did he call his
roommate
now his roommate called him because he was worried he
Whitehall
put it to the voicemail because
he said you want me to answer the phone the guy said yeah, you
answer the phone. But if you talk in Chinese or blow your
brains out
so I'm gonna just gonna force it doesn't sound right
John. It's the whole thing is bogus. It gets even worse exit
strategy here. Yeah,
I need to figure out a way to save myself that I haven't one
of the things to do after unlocking the door. I have to
unfasten myself.
See he's thinking next week. Now of course the door is locked. He
says I have to get out I have to unlock the door on fasten my
seat belt because the doors lock automatically when you drive it
to for the hanger on the door for
station Johor left the car to pay. Timberland was fiddling
with the GPS. I
thought they shut up the gas station. Isn't that how they
found him with the head? He had? He was like shooting up the gas
station.
No, no, I never heard
any new this might be his last chance. How do you do that in
your head? Do you say 123
Ah do you say 123 John, what do you think? Do you say 123? No.
What do you say?
I would point at the other I don't know how you get out of a
car
you say 123 You unlock kapu handle and and fasten SEPA
first you have to unlock the car which is a little well I guess
you'd let the other guys with the brake just put
no he said you have to unlock the car is bullcrap you pull the
handle it opens I mean cars
No no that's not not That's not always true office a new
Mercedes your problem you pull the handle the doors unlocked
he's driving
oh no I thought you're talking about well he's in the gas
station.
No he has he's talking about he has to get out now the the the
Tom are Dzhokhar Tom or whatever he's he's out of the he went to
pay the other guy is still in the car but
you said he's still driving but he they stopped at the gas
station. Yes. He got out yeah. To unlock the doors a Joker
could get out. He just
said I, I'm thinking I have to unlock door. Undo seatbelt pull
handles, it
has to have been a
pull handler. But listen, he doesn't count to three. Ah, our
Chinese friend is very smart.
I was counting. I was counting 1234
Ah, 1234. Okay, strategy. This is, this is the ancient art of
Chinese strategy.
I just do it too far. I don't feel terminal. It's time for me.
So you're going, he's reaching out. You're running
out running
as fast as I can. And then he ran across the street and the
guy didn't shoot him or anything. She was shooting cops.
He's blowing up people. But he didn't shoot him. They were
looking back. He ran across the street to this station and
pleaded with the clerk to call 911
I love that now they put that in as proof. Like that happened.
But it changed the story because before you ran it in the closet.
Yeah, no, no. Hello. Hello. Why are you buzz killing everything
you can you're not allowed to do this. You can't break the story
like that. This is this isn't genius. This is the real guy.
Danny, that's his real name. And he kind of want to treefall
you hadn't escaped called 911 and put police on the trail of
these bombers. said bad things would have happened bad when you
are a hero in this hero.
You don't think that I'm a hero? Hello, you know, because what I
was trying to do is just trying to sell myself. I do something
probably do something. Good. And hopefully he's the hero. The
exchange of gunfire was with those bad guys. I think the
other heroes
now listen to how this report ends up. It is no this is really
to me. It was a big like, wink wink nudge nudge this is all
bullcrap guys.
So Danny felt lucky to get out of this alive and in one piece.
His car, the 2013 Mercedes SUV was not so lucky Scott. Police
use its GPS to track it to where they cornered them in the
shootout. It sustained 32 bullet holes so the Daimler leasing
company says a month and a half into the deal. Danny's car's a
total loss and you know what? He's okay with that. Yeah,
really? Is okay. Some people will do anything to get out of a
lease. Won't they? Crazy? He's okay with this interested 33
bullet holes though. That was a little disappointing. So there
you go. That's the new journalism people is you get a
guy. And then you throw in some cops on the mobile station.
So what's your what's the what's the license plate on your car on
your new car that when you just bought
the license plate? You want the real license plate? Just off the
top of your head? What is it? byc 1771703. I was like 7103,
something like that?
Why? Because I'm wondering how they got they knew where the GPS
was on this car.
Full cravat? No idea. They they reverse track the GPS? Sure.
Sure they did. Yeah. And the only reason I know the plates is
because I had to put them
on. They came in the mail yesterday. I can never remember
my plate. So it's
7301 Yeah, it's byc 7301. Okay, you can come and shoot me if you
want. Go ahead.
I'm gonna track it.
I'll be ready to go and now well, it's Mickey's car. Where
are you going?
What is she going there? Wow, that's weird is weird. He's
going to some weird plate Why is he getting his nails done? That
must be a fire get oh wait a minute says here and the Intel
she's bi curious which by the way. I'm I'm upset. How come the
President doesn't come back and restart news conferences when I
come out as bi curious. No, no, no. When some basketball player
has to say he's gay then it's like a big deal. What is going
on with the world? What? What kind of distraction? Isn't this?
Am I missing something here who gives a crap?
That's all plot to get Obama to admit it to get Obama want to
admit he's gay.
Listen to this. This is Spike Lee and Anderson Cooper, gay
known gay
players played professional sports. And I think that what
Jason Collins did is give them maybe the same courage for them
to do the same thing. So I will say in the coming next few
months. Jason Collins not be the only one who will showing
how he's living. The tide of history is moving forward. The
tide of history is moving forward. tide of history is
gone. He says, Yeah, a bunch of half the basket, but he's
looking around the way he says about half the basketball
players are gay. So he comes down he says, I'm, let's get
that's all admitted. So he says, so I look around and nobody's
doing anything. So I admit it. And so then he says, Then he
looks around again. And he says this fuck, nobody stood still
nobody wants to come out. That's funny. I felt like an idiot.
You know, he has his twin brother, who was always really
who was also a ball player. Yeah, I didn't know this. Jason
has a brother Jaron who wasn't as successful. And I thought
maybe it's like the ball you know, the adjacent played for
the Celtics, but he's like a free agent. He's like, he's no
one cares about. He's not like a star player. And who cares? Who
can why is this a big deal? Why do we all care all of a sudden,
it's so courageous, and the tide of history is moving forward,
what side of history Anderson Cooper who, who refused to come
forever in still kind of, you know, only because they was
doing a talk show that he did that, and then the talk show
failed. It's probably regretting it. It's like, Why did what? I
don't understand why we care.
Well, let's get back to the topic of Boston says,
I'm sorry, you're right. I got a lot of Boston cry. Well,
let me go to Europe. But we'll do Europe after we can. Do
you want to do Europe? We can do Europe? No,
I know. I want to get stay on this on this thread. Okay.
Stephen is going to think I here's the one that this is the
one that got me the most, you know, the FBI. We I was looking
for the clip. I couldn't find it. But I'll maybe I have maybe
I have it. No, it's a clip from a couple of weeks ago that I had
from the whistleblower, who's who was first advice to anybody
who is going to become a whistleblower is don't talk to
the FBI. As they just set you up, because it's easier on them
to find. So they got the certificate, it looks good on
their number. So they got these three, what some pretty aptly
described as knuckleheads who ditched the bag. And here's the
clip I have here students and their visa moment clip and this
is the one I didn't realize is it just only report I heard
where they actually explained the visa violation, which was
just bogus.
Now, this is the kids who have been arrested. These three,
three kids have been arrested, were all students at Dartmouth
and they had apparently friends with with the Joker. And they
went to his place because he told him to go there and take
whatever they wanted him, which who knows that could have been
code, but we don't know what cases they grabbed his his
laptop and his backpack, which had supposedly, the backpack had
a bunch of fireworks in it, which I don't know who carries a
backpack with them. But anyways, the story
in the moments after these hearings.
Brian, let me just ask you quickly, I think it's just
important as people are tuning in just to reset exactly how
authorities were tipped off that these three I don't want to say
involved but have information regarding after these bombs went
off here on Boylston Street, we know they were taken in they
were questioned. There were some student visa issues. And then
now facing federal charges. Take me back to the very beginning,
if you will.
Well, the very beginning, Brooke you know they were they were
rounded up on April 19, which was the day that your horse or
nya was captured. They were rounded up from their residence
near the UMass Dartmouth campus in New Bedford. It was the two
suspects the first two suspects the Kazakhstan students and
another person were rounded up. They were brought in for
questioning they were then released that night because of a
lack of evidence. They were then taken into custody again over
that weekend either on the 20th or the 21st. And the two
Kazakhstan students the US Qatar buy off and as a monetize Yakov,
or were arrested and charged with Visa violations they
violated that allegedly violated their student visas by not going
to class. Now they have been held since that time. And they
had an immigration hearing even this morning, after which they
were detained. So we have always gotten the impression since they
were taken into custody on those charges the visa immigration
charges that investigators at the very least wanted to know
more from these people. And now we know from this criminal
complaint that that again accuses them of conspiring to
obstruct justice and making false statements that the
initial statements that they gave to investigators either on
April 19 or over that subsequent weekend just did not sit well
with investigators for some reason.
I know happen to know a lot about visas actually and because
you don't go to class that's not a violation. If you drop
ridiculous
they first they have these guys in for questioning and then they
get all freaked out and they don't go then they don't go to
class. That's the way I saw it.
But that even that's not a violation of your student visa
not going to class is not a violation.
bogus. It sounds bogus. Yeah. And then but they wasn't gonna
choose to pick him up because that's what they're going to do.
And then they said for some reason and when he said that
that's where I took this clip that's when the Erin Burnett
clip that you have comes into play what was the some reason
for some reason? Well maybe it's because they had the retro
actively tap their phones which apparently is going on all the
time. And Tim is
there any way now obviously was a voicemail they could they
could try to get the the phone companies to give that up at
this point. But if it's not a voicemail, it's just a
conversation. There's no way they actually can find out what
happened right unless she tells them.
Now there is a way they we certainly have ways in national
security investigations to find out exactly what was said in
that conversation. It's not necessarily something that the
FBI is going to want to present in court, but it may help lead
the investigation and or lead the questioning of her so so we
can certainly find that eyes
door they can actually get that. People were saying, look, it's
pretty incredible what you're saying. Welcome,
welcome to America, the all of that stuff is being captured as
we speak, whether we know it or like it or not.
Note to self as Eric just said, here. Yeah.
I had an idea when I heard this. So this is very interesting that
Erin Burnett doesn't realize that everything you do all your
conversations are all being dragged, netted, and sucked up.
And, and all stored and can totally be retrieved. But I was
thinking, if I was the US government, I could I would turn
this into a benefit. Imagine, John, if you and I, instead of
doing the show like this, we just have a phone conversation.
And then we call the FBI and say, okay, podcast it and then
it just sends it out. Everyone's phone rings and the podcast are
playing. It's gonna be fun. What are you gonna grab you can make
money. Of course people you but you get everyone wins, the phone
companies win for air minutes. bandwidth. I mean, it's great.
We don't have to do all I have to do is just toggling to it
from anywhere we want, you know, just jacket into my podcast or
box there and we're good to go. No RSS problems. No internet
crap. And people would pay for that build it into your monthly
subscription. Hey, by the new no agenda, iPhone comes with no
agenda built in. Come on, it's a great idea.
So the guy is essentially saying for anyone who didn't quite get
the clip that they and we know this they have all these they
got a facility order in San Francisco, they're essentially
routing all the phone calls, cell phone calls and landline, I
assume right this Skype call and the Skype calls and they're
grouting them into a giant
bucket. A bucket of balls,
everybody's done. Now this thing that would mean that I and I
think is probably coded the files are coded in such a way
that you there's a number of I'm guessing I have no idea how to
do I bet it's salted hash, the salted hash. So they have like
your phone number the first they found out what your number is
and they want to get retrieve all your calls for the last
let's say 30 days years. Yeah, well they could do it but they
don't know they're going to be selected because it's a reverse
that it's essentially a reverse I think they legally I think
they're they're doing this it's a reverse tap so you're not
because nobody's list thing to these calls. They're just being
stored. And so now they they think you've done something I've
done somebody with these creeps have done something or these
knuckleheads is doing right knuckle have done something so
they get an order, or no secret courts that they have. Here's
the number we need the phone calls from these guys for the
last three weeks or two weeks or the last week. And so they go
into the database they retro actively pull that as though
you're now being tapped in, in, like in the past.
You know, I'm so happy. I'm so proud to be working with such an
engineering genius.
So they pull out the past three weeks of conversation from
okay, but you're missing you're missing it. That's not That's
not what they do. Then they're like, Okay, what else is
attached? Oh, look at this. He's got to like this show. Okay,
let's go pull up the podcast. Oh, there's the Skype calls. Oh,
there's the emails. Oh, wait, no, we can't get in because he's
got his own server. Crap. We can't get any Gmail. Oh, well,
it doesn't matter. He's got a chat room. Ah, look at these
assholes. Yeah, let's pick up a couple of them.
Well, that's no oh, there is that element which is not
discussed, which is like let's just since we're just grabbing
crap here. The past we can listen to the old cat. Oh, well,
you know, I mean, that's why I still think.
But John's Bri insider trading. Oh, John, John. Erin Burnett
said something very astute, which is exactly the way the
American people should be thinking about this and about
cameras everywhere.
Plus surveillance cameras have provided key information during
the investigation. Should we just give up our privacy and
this country because after all, if you're not doing anything bad
Why do you care if they're watching you? Exactly. What's
your problem?
You're not doing anything bad. Why do you care?
Well, she's when she says when the ice like I say you want I
did this on another show we talked about Yeah, the Twitch.
Put them in the bathroom. I've said if you're gonna do this
camera, because everyone on that show seems to be really hot on
cameras everywhere. Yeah. So So I'm saying okay, then you put
the cameras. You want more cameras? So maybe we need more
cameras. They had cameras.
I want a camera that shows me Lisa bouncing up and down on
Leo's belly. That's the camera I
want. You have to have cameras everywhere. You have to put the
cameras in the bathrooms. Yes. Because that's where most of the
criminal activity takes place. put cameras in the bathrooms
with cameras everywhere. That's right. And put a camera in your
house. Yeah, I think there should be some people that are
qualified. You look at their record or they're doing like a
podcast. And you don't like it. You don't like the podcasts.
You're not they're not doing anything wrong. But you don't
like the podcast because it says maybe call somebody a douchebag
and on the camera or turn on his camera, or a camera in their
house, turn it off. By law you could be you could actually I
bet you within the next decade, there will be cameras put in
houses by the courts in your house.
But this is no nothing new. You look at England, they put
cameras in the in the trash bins, they put cameras in
people's homes to see the child protective services, by the way
are the ones they're going to do this. Because you know, you
might be abusing your child, you know, by telling it to shut up
and go take out the trash. You know, say shut up and do your
chores you
will then here's the thing about people that are y'all can we
need more cameras? We have already too many. And you know,
you can be followed around quite easily. People always say Well,
you're in the public, you're you know, you're so what you are,
you can be seen by as? Okay, let's put the cameras in the
house. Yeah, and use the argument that I'm gonna use this
argument. I'm gonna go with this one. Aaron's argument. Look,
there's a camera in your house. But you're not doing anything
wrong. So what difference does it make? Yeah, exactly. What's
your problem?
What's your problem? Are you you plotting something? Are you man
making bombs in your house? What are you worried about?
That's what this Google Glass is going to be great for. Get
everyone to go. I think I think the government just like in some
countries, everyone got a gas mask. I think our government
should do a deal with Google another deal with Google. And
that give everyone Google Glass and just walk around all day
long wearing your glass and just videotaping everything's great.
And you can get the poor man's version which is essentially a
GoPro strapped to your head with Velcro. Because that's really
what it is. I mean, it's you know, it's a go to go pro for
twice the money with half the resolution. Job.
Nice work. I have three clips from from Eminem Mammon and my
poor. She brings in Eric Schmidt Wait a minute, this is the
Google guy. Let's play the clip. Amman poor CNN brings in Schmidt
as the Boston investigation deepens. An important question
is raised is the internet a terrorist most dangerous weapon.
Despite today's arrest, the brothers Sanaya seemed to have
planned the attacks themselves without support organization,
although they are continuing investigations into actually
whether there was one back in Russia. The younger surviving
brother has reportedly told authorities that he and his
older brother use the internet to learn how to build a bomb.
The internet has terrorists tool, is it avoidable? Police of
all preventable I can think of no better person to ask than
Eric Schmidt.
called Adam curry, John C. Dvorak and
Molly wood I'm allowed to be damning
of Google, the internet Titan and forum for so much about
information sharing. In the new book, The promises and the
perils of this medium, it's called the New Digital Age
reshaping the future of people's nations and business.
John, we have to write a book, okay, you and I have to write a
book and it's be a terrorist online. Now it's free self
radicalization DVD. Jesus Christ. This is nuts. Okay, we
got more of this. She
brings in she brings in Schmidt and another guy who you're gonna
love Oh, wait, he's the ghost writer. He's the other writer.
He hasn't got time to write but you when you find out who he is,
you're going to die play em important. Schmidt?
Is this too?
That's the Yeah, true.
He joins me now with Jared Cohen, who is his co author. And
I look this guy up. Ya know, as a former State Department
adviser on digital diplomacy is now what sounds like also, now
you have a fascinating new title, which is handler is
director of Google Ideas. Gentlemen, thank you very much
for joining me. I know
stop the show. This is this is a new level. And if you don't know
A $10,000 to no agenda, you become the no agenda director of
ideas. And you get to come to my house, I
think you are on book tour. You've talked a lot about a lot
of aspects of your book. And it is all fascinating. But in light
of what's happened, I really do need to ask you, is there any
way for something as powerful as YouTube and this whole Google
empire to actually police what's going on? You know, the day
after the bombings, all we did was go online.
Does she ever stop? Does she just ask one long question?
This is a chatterbox. And she is chairing this interview. By the
way, I do only have this small clip, which is this was the
worst she is the worst interviewer is
this book on Amazon? Amazon? Eric? I gotta read this book.
This is too funny. Eric Schmidt you
know, it's written by Colin, we know that. So it's got some
bullcrap
of course. But what is the name of the book? The new digital
age? Is that what it's called? Yes, it reshaping the future of
people, nations and business. But did you look at the reviews
yet? Were there all kinds of shill reviews? And oh, first
review. This is the most important and fascinating book
yet written about how the digital age will affect our
world. Wow, the shields are in a
think that's a shill review.
Yeah, I don't know, man. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Listen, the
rest of Adam poor.
We went to YouTube, we went to the, you know, Russian
equivalent of Facebook. And we saw on YouTube, you know, a
terrorist playlist. It said that.
So in this particular case, we saw an almost perfect
collaboration between the police and citizenry that ultimately
found these two people and perhaps some others. You had
over and over again, crowdsourcing people trying to
figure out who these people were. You had a whole community
on Reddit and others that eventually found the right
people. And based on the story that you reported today, it
looks to me like they got pretty spooked with that. But you've
got a million people looking at you on a social network, you're
going to be found.
Oh, wait, I Oh, brother.
All right. And this, of course, we have all this, you know, all
of this great crowdsourcing work and we still have yet to see the
video of them actually doing it. What do you have that on
YouTube? To have the video I'm actually putting
maybe the Japanese guys who do the the animations.
All right, do you have another one cuz I got some
gym. The gym? This is kind of a meta gym. This is the one this
is Jared from state a meta gym. Yeah, here's why. You were we
had just a little more time this morning. I probably would have
tried to dig up that clip with those that the idiot CTO, you
know, these, those two guys are talked about dudes talking in
COBOL. skip logic, skip logic. congra. Yeah, Vic Qudra.
Well, do you want me to find him real quick, I can probably find
him
get play. That would be a nice Prelude. Because when you hear
Jared Cohen, you realize it's a style. Because Cohen has this
thing and you listen to it. And you it's like the same kind of
total horse crap that that Vivek Coonrod had with his talking and
COBOL and skip logic.
Well, hold on. Just give me one second to see if I can actually
find it. That would be would be kind of
cool. Is a very funny clip.
It was the I don't know if I can find it that quick. This now
we're talking about? How many years ago? Four, four years ago,
roughly? Yeah.
It was during the first Obama term. So it was probably 2009.
Yeah. I go, don't worry about everyone just heard. And we'll
play it again. And we'll see if we can finish it. So here's
Jared, who is sounds like Vivek Goodrich is blabbering on about
who knows what you're in the
State Department you had to deal with this kind of stuff?
Well, I think our conclusion about terrorism in the future is
that, you know, future terrorists are going to have to
opt into technology if they want to be relevant. So by then,
using social media, by them accessing the internet with
tremendous frequency by putting their social networks online,
the room for error goes up significantly. Any professional
mistake, any social mistake, and they increase the likelihood
that the whole plot comes unraveled. And then it becomes
easy to get the SIM card and see who's working with them.
It becomes easy to get none if you're on Verizon it doesn't.
Because you don't have SIM cards a whole
jeez,
yeah, they got to opt in. They gotta Why do they have to be on
the social network that to be relevant? What? Anyway, welcome
to America. Like Aaron said, No, it was a guy
said that, wow. I'm a little miffed that I can't find the vet
Qunar stuff because that's that stuff is pretty genius. So the
President did a sticking with Boston. The president came out
and did a little ditty. They said it was he SEC did a press
conference. And this is an honor of the guy who's leaving the
White House Correspondents president. Because make no sense
to me, but okay, and you just answered
it there. I only did vote in there for one term on year.
Yeah. Yeah. So what? Yeah, so what you do you know, it's dumb
to the President
came out and and he answered a whole bunch of questions. I
thought it's, he's answered. This was not as rehearsed as
usual. So there were some very, I just say, maybe he's just
feeling good. I mean, didn't give a crap, I guess. And words
matter to me. So tell me what you think is weird about what he
says here, they'll
detect a potential attack. And we won't know that until that
review is completed. We won't know that until the
investigation, the actual crime is fully completed. That's still
ongoing. Crime is
still ongoing. I mean, he did say that, yeah, play that,
again. The crime is still ongoing. The crime is not done
yet.
We won't know that until the investigation, the actual crime
is fully completed. That's still ongoing. It's not
completed yet. But the crime has not completed yet. Just so you
know. And now he had a suspicion, yes, now he is doing
something that I feel is dangerous, dangerous. He he's
taking a there's a new word entering the lexicon. And the
word is a new word for terrorists.
As obviously, we're proud of the people of Boston and all the
first responders and the medical personnel that helped save
lives. What we also know is that they the Russian intelligence
services had alerted us intelligence about the older
brother, as well as the mother indicating that they might be
sympathizers to extremists. The FBI investigated that older
brother, it's not as if the FBI did nothing. They not only
investigated the older brother, they interviewed the older
brother, they concluded that there were no signs that he was
engaging in extremist activity.
Right. So it's happening now a lot. He's talking about
extremist activity, and they might be extreme extremists.
We're talking about extremism. And this is a dangerous term
that is entering our lexicon from the from the dictionary,
extremist one who advocates or resorts to measures beyond the
norm, especially in politics. So that does not end a bomber
maketh in my book, extremism, an ideology or political act far
outside the perceived political center of a society. But it
doesn't extremism is a new word. I mean, you could say that we're
extremely put
us in that category. Because of the way we answered the quiz at
KQED.
Now, what's even crazier,
in by the way, it also puts everybody who has been
marginalized in podcasts radio, the same bank because they're
trying to push the they make a Jones The the poster boy
for history. Yes. Yeah, exactly. extremists. So it's not no
longer terrorists, but extremists. And what's very
scary. And I I'm blown away that no one has I mean, the President
sat there stood there and said this, that extremism is on the
rise in America. And it's our own fault. Because of largely
his current policies. And he's saying it like, it's just a this
is what it is, bitches.
But this is hard stuff. And I've said from for quite some time,
he said
it for quite some time now. Okay. What he's about to say is
this should not come as a surprise to you people
that because of the pressure that we put on al Qaeda core, al
Qaeda, because of the pressure that we put on these networks,
that are well financed and more sophisticated, and it can engage
in and project transnational threats against the United
States. One of the dangers that we now face are self radicalized
individuals who are already here in the United States. Are you
insane?
Well, let's stop doing what you're doing immediately. This
is I mean, I'm sorry, but this this blows me away, John,
because of our pressure on al Qaeda Corp. Because of that,
because we're we're bombing people in Yemen, Somalia,
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, histon Poppy Stein. People are
extremists are self radicalizing here in the United States. And
he's been saying this for quite a while now. This is insane.
This just needs to stop immediately. We should have
Prime Minister questions or Queen's throne talk or whatever,
whatever he wants to hear this has to stop,
in some cases may not be part of any kind of network.
And not even part of a network, just people going like, I hate
you.
But because of whatever warped, twisted ideas they may have,
like conspiracy theories may decide to carry out an attack.
And those are in some ways more difficult to prevent. And so
what I've,
oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I think we need to pour some money
on the problem done
for months now is to indicate to our entire counter terrorism
team. What more can we do on that threat? That is looming on
the horizon? Are there more things that we can do? Whether
it's cameras in the home, engaging, engaging with
communities where there's a potential for self
radicalization of this of this sort? Is there work that can be
done? I
need t shirts, I just want a t shirt that says self radicalized
and proud of it. And then I want to know that I want a t shirt
from Nike that says I'm with self radicalized and the arrow,
arrow and then on the back extremist. This is not this is
completely completely crazy. And what's going to happen here's
the prediction put this in your book. My friends, my my dinner
party friends will have me arrested. They love me, but
they're gonna have me arrested.
Yeah, no, it's for your own good.
That's clearly from my own good. Because you know what? Oh, I
forgot to tell you. At one point Mickey said you know just
talking about the gun in her glove compartment. She said now
all I have to do is work on my anger management issues that
were that was that was
good line was pushing it a little bit.
I thought she was brave for saying it.
My wife, she got a laugh.
She did for me. I'm like, holy crap. At a certain point. Both
women said whatever. Mickey's drinking, We'd like some of
that, please. Because yeah, I mean, we need to catch up.
Adams gonna meet his Amen. Adams gonna read his email. And I was
gonna read his email on the no agenda.
The big hit, John, is this email segment is a big big hit. People
really like it. So I thought we'd we'd read just a few emails
before we go thank some of our producers. And of course,
there's always tons more to do. So we were talking about
BuzzFeed, Adam, my brother works for Buzzfeed. He writes about
music and has done many done for many years now. And won't
mention his name, because I'm not sure if that's appropriate
in this case, but he said I want to give you the inside scoop on
Buzzfeed when we were trying to figure out what this thing is.
BuzzFeed offers very high paying jobs with significantly above
average benefits and relaxed work environment. This is the
place that doesn't want to hire anyone who's a hater,
no haters,
they built their name by sniping writers from all over my brother
came from Rolling Stone along with a large contingent of their
staff. Others came from Spin New York Times you name it, they
offered more money and a better work environment in an effort to
skim the top talent from the industry. Whether or not at work
is another story that I don't want to get into. Since it's
largely irrelevant. Well, I don't think it's irrelevant. I
think that this is if you look, this is another Silicon Valley,
venture backed thing where they're all like, you know what,
let's start a newspaper. And now all we need is money. And we can
do great reporting. And then pretty soon it turns into
NASCAR. Cuz I go,
Oh, you know, we
have no money coming in. And we need to add and then before you
know it, just you got Martha Stewart to pretending that she's
on match.com. Did you see this? Yeah, it's hilarious. Like, oh,
yeah, that's right. Martha Stewart it was not a payoff at
all. She just decided all of a sudden that she wanted
pseudo name so you could get you might get lucky.
Vic Thompson writes, Adam, look lately, you've been looking for
a description for no agenda. This is based upon arch
conversation about how we help people understand what it is
sorry, but I can't help you with that. And there is no way that I
would help fund you even though I have been downloading no
agenda for about a year now. If you disappear tomorrow, I would
not give a rat's ass why. Well, Adam, you're a pain to listen
to. The show. The facts may be relevant and even accurate, but
you're overlapping and random, loud protestations making He
cringe. And I wonder if this is a compensation for something
smaller? The very, the very poor conversion of some words dict
Adam, eg Shiva sins do not support the extremely
intelligent examinations of which you are obviously capable.
So I mainly use no agenda for sleep assistance. You know, you
seem to be relatively well supported, so you don't need me
anyway. So why do I bother at all because you have some
content of interest, and it's long enough that I can usually
drop off to sleep at some point. Thank you douche bag. I'll give
that guy a douche bag, douche
bag letter.
And this one I really like this one is very nice. This is from
Blair, Slavin, Los Angeles, California came in this morning.
Dear Adam, I have found the perfect show for you to listen
to and learn how to properly utilize a soundboard. I'm like,
wow, wow. You know, it's I've been in radio for ever 3035
years, whatever. And the soundboard is you know, the
thing that we have all of these jingles squirreled up for us
please listen to this. This show enhances this show enhances and
makes the show fun. Instead of annoying and tired, like some
low brow morning zoo style,
which is what we do.
So I'm like, you know, I'm always willing to learn, right?
I mean, I'm not all you are. That's your big Hallmark.
I'm not I'm not above saying okay. Yes, I want self
radicalized and willing to learn on my T shirt. So I'm like, why
don't I go listen to this show? And it's because this guy
clearly has some tips. Would you like to hear the show that was
pointed out as the perfect way to do it?
To do a soundboard Yeah, coming up on a spatially inconsistent
episode of the morning stream movies with twin plots are weird
Free Comic Book Day just got a whole lot more free ish the
webisodes seems like it's enough for us anymore women so sad the
way you said it. Women are the ones that need to stop smoking

No mornings dream daring rescue action
Good morning, everybody. Good morning. Boy. It'll teach me to
dance.
Wow, John, do you know how to do it now?
Is it just that over modulated?
Yeah. Oh, the show's over modulated and he's like yelling
over the morning stream. And that's how I should be doing it.
Okay, yeah. Blair Blair Slavin. Hit yourself in the face right
now. Hard. Thank you. It's unbelievable. People send me
this.
So you should use the sound.
And yeah, that's how you should do it. Now I we're busy guys.
We're recording. I mean, I usually have about 100 clips for
each show. We only use maybe 1015. But you never know. So I'm
recording I've got stuff I'm reading stuff. I'm looking at
legislation. I'm marking up PDFs and you're taking my time and
I'm willing to learn and you're sending this to me like I have
to watch this
was it was it a video podcast?
No. Oh my god. No. No, it's great in the morning stream
morning stream which is P plan on taking things off so
hilarious so awesome. Tea should never be a kind of a con that is
lewd. No, that's just just not not good. It's been bad form.
Here's another bid. Here's just as an aside, I'll never mind I
I'll do this later. Let's
watch let's take a break.
I'm going to show my son move by donation to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
everybody, welcome to the Morning stream that's right here
in the studio, and I've got to say Get through. We'll just talk
about me whatever I want to say. So we'll go oh, that's all right
that morning.
So they'll clip that and put it on their show and show you how
to use this how to use a soundboard, Kyle Kise
Catonsville in Green Bay, Wisconsin, home of the Packers
came in with $191.87 He did have a note. It says for me no agenda
is confirmation. There are other people out there who don't
believe all the information fed to us by the government in the
mass media and relief and relief that you have backed up
deconstructions with logical reasonable analysis and not just
talking points that get shouted out while people are trying to
sell seeds or gold.
However, we do not know how to use the soundboard
is ever making me feel like I think the way you take personal
offense when you use Zomboid is amazing. You're actually quite
good with it. You're like one of the best soundboard guys ever.
It's just when someone does that. You could probably run a
cart machine.
Stop now before I kill again.

which was Charles Walters that was the only one I don't think
so. I'm looking at the spreadsheet right now.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to talk to the spreadsheet people about
this because I recall these three coming in. They will be
mentioned anyone who sent in 6969 We'll get there. Come up

drugs? Like I know how I'm gonna send 6546 quite what I know. I
know I'm gonna send 5695 Ha, I'm gonna send 47 for gross. So wait
a minute, so on a $50 donation we get $47.45
Welcome to Life. Holy
crap, that's not okay. I always thought you were people. I
always check. I always thought you were just shortchanging me.
Like, yeah, well, it doesn't seem like the right amount, but
I'd like him. I might know. It's okay. If he's skimming. He's got
kids in college and stuff, whatever.
That's skimming. So anyway, okay, let's hit the 69 Jingle.
Okay, thank these guys.
Wow, this is good work. Good buzzkill Jr
69.
So we want to thank Walters, Cox, Chung and Miller. They're
all in the 6969 Club and hit it again. There we go.
69.
Now everybody gets to hear what we actually get from them when
they use Pay Pal instead of using your bank to do time
payment, which is the real great way to do it. Which is what
Charles Walters does that came through in the time payments
payment system he pays 669 Every so often. I don't know what the
frequency is. KENNETH Ryan Jones capital is you in North
Carolina? 5885 Amir, my car and mountain Hill, Pennsylvania.
5695. Eric OJ Bo. Oh, yay, Bo. I've been guessing in some
place. I've never heard of getting donations smorgasbord.
So that must be Norway or Sweden. Or rainbow. I don't
know. That's one of the two it's up there. Scandinavian Nordic.
5332 It's cold. It's cold. It's cold. It's cold. Dodge Gaskill
in Pensacola, Florida. 5272. Daniel Kelvin of Mackinac
Island, 50 to
72. What, that's probably double nickels on the time,
being 50 to 29 might be to, you know,
just could this could this is a disaster. This could screw up
the karmic universe, and all these new numbers. I mean, you
know, this could, this could change
thing. None of these numbers have ever been heard on this
show
that we and we are putting them out there. Who knows what this
could really do. And by the way, not necessarily bad. This could
change things in ways we can't even imagine.
Well, so the $50 donors include a hall hollow Walker and spring
Texas, which comes in at 4745. Mike met Aloni in Chicago, Greg
Bruchsal, in Kenosha and Adam Mori in Middletown, Maryland,
and then we have the next one I think is probably $49. And so
don't do it just in case because we don't want to
we can always give her her shout out later. So those are our
donors for today's show. 509 And then you can understand the net
if you can help us for the Sunday show.
Methodology Hold on What did pay pal really do to take all those
dollars from us nothing?
He did the Yeah they did well shuffling some bits around.
Yeah, they did a machine thing I think came in and then they took
the money from a credit card or something and then they pass it
to a banking system and then they gave us what was leftover.
Wow. And well, okay
10% At least
I'm glad we didn't do Bitcoin because if you would, if you had
sent us Bitcoin on on Monday, we would have lost like 30% People
don't seem to understand that they still say hey man, why
don't you take Bitcoin? Because I need to eat
smarter. We just put our money in the sports book in Vegas.
Speaking of which, I got an email about that I guess here
the what's coming to one of our Jennifer one of our dame's she's
a damn it. Hi, John Adam, I'll be attending the Kentucky oaks
and Derby this weekend as a 40th Dame hood instead of instead, as
it would have saved a bunch of money. I'm less than $200 away
on my 40th birthday gift for my husband. I'm sorry to that he
didn't finish finish off my damn well. That's what she's saying.
Because I'm only $200 away. Anyway, I'm running to see if
you have any ideas on which horses might be profitable this
weekend. And of course, I will share any earned wealth with the
best podcast and Universe since your theory is that all major
sporting events are fixed. I wondered if you had any thoughts
on the derby. Now, she brought this up in her email which I
liked the idea she said last night 60 minutes profiled a
female jockey who will be running Saturday. So of course
she's high on my list. And I thought that might be a pretty
good bet. You know, considering the the war on men, tents were
all horrible. No and,
and when I say there's no chance in hell, she's going to win.
Okay? And but she could come in third because you want to have
at least you know, some profee still make money on a third on a
third win place and show there's three bets you can make you can
make a bet on all three or one. Okay? And as a show when the
history show as a show bet it's a possibility. I'm guessing she
comes in fifth. And but do you know I have got a horse track
across from where I live, I can see the track from here. And I
have to get they have, you know, a bedding in there that you can
bet on this and go over the bed on the Kentucky Derby. And so I
have been I started doing this uh, I don't know, maybe I don't
I used to go to the track I just gave up on it. But the I've
gotten tried to beat the derby because they the way that one
thing to look for is the following. You have a big winner
of a horse that's going to just sweep it looks like you're gonna
get a triple crown, and then some horse from the Middle East
comes in for one of the set of the second the Preakness or the
Belmont comes in out of the blue and is entered. Now he's got
good times and everything that is a horse to bet on. Because
it's a sleeper and they do that I've seen this happen numerous
times hills. But then the one that where I gave up on it was
there was a horse It was obviously a triple court Crown
winner was a number a couple of years ago, it was going to just
win everything. And so I said okay, I'll go down and put 100
bucks on this thing. So I went I think it was the the Belmont of
the Preakness I'm not sure which of the two races but if people
will remember this, if you if you will remember this horse it
was Ruby, Ruby CO or Ruby on or something like that. Rubicon.
That wasn't my event. But anyway, so I go down there and
bet I bet on the horse. And I watched the race and it goes
like this is horse was a favorite to kick you it was an
easy bet to win, you're gonna not gonna make that we make 140
bucks. And so the so the horses are in the gate, his gate opens
by itself out of the blue.
Oops, how does that happen?
The horse runs for it. And then they have to stop the horse. The
horse comes up lame, of course, but the horse finally broken it
with a broken leg and they had to shoot it shoot it on the
track. I mean, this was like, Okay, I am not betting these
races are fixed. But we're not in on the fix we're in. It's not
predictable. So we can't help you with this race. So long
story short.
Okay, so in other words, third in show on the chick jockey,
that's about the best we can do as a long shot, long shot. Okay.
Thank you all very much for your support of the best podcasting
universe as you can see how we get raped by PayPal, those guys
by the way, Elon Musk, number one, they're all flying jets.
Thanks, guys.
$2.10 for every one of our listeners, here's
the good news. No one can ever accuse us of taking money from
guys who are part of conspiracy Inc. Yeah, we're not we're not
selling you seeds. We're not selling you gold, or water
filters or anything. All we're asking for is that you support
the program if you like what we're doing and so far in our
six year seems to be okay.
Yeah. And so you should remember that we are in competition, not
with the seed sellers. But we're in competition with the movie
industry. You're spent so much money to go to a film think
about it. Was this a movie you could have better watched at
home and give us the 50 bucks that you spent going into the
theater with one member of the family and a box a $10? Or let
me let me put it number two with some weird recently get sick as
a dog poop.
Or the multitude of you who sent me the link to the serious
documentary, which caught which a lot of you spent $9.99 on so
this is called 10 bucks. Are you insane? This is It's movie John.
This is like they found a little six inch high alien. I mean, I
know this movie is called a it's called Alien Autopsy. I know the
guy who did that to Ray Ray Santilli. Santilli sent Telly I
knew this guy hung out with a bit in England. This is a scam.
Okay, this Have you seen this movie? John, if you've not
received an email like, Hey, you got to see this documentary.
It's cool. They're withholding power from us. Yeah, I know that
I know. They're holding energy sources but you know, then you
bring in the six inch high alien Yeah, I'll do the birthdays.
John. You take a look at Sirius Sri us documentary. Please take
a look at the pictures of the six inch tall alien that they're
taking DNA from please please. Because even I mean I got a
problem with Moon landings but I don't have a problem calling
this bull crap out. Anyway, skeleton. The point is, you
could have spent that money perhaps ABS little wiser and
probably gotten more truth out of the deal
vorak.org/and A
dog says Happy Birthday to Aereo glad we got that one and Melanie
man is Happy Birthday to I mean says Happy Birthday to Jim man
celebrating to smile. Yes and why did the German accent you
haven't Melanie now come here to sit down your winch and Kathy
Beauchamp says Happy Birthday to Leonard smalls happy birthday
from your friends all of us here at the no agenda show. And we
have our title that we're going to be putting in the credits as
well Sir Stephen founder HOFA now becomes count them on a
count Demone a very nice and no nice things. Of course, nothing
else happening today since we didn't do all that well, but we
appreciate what we got. And remember to put your executive
producer or Associate Executive producer credit right up there
on your LinkedIn page. That seems to work really well.
No entry second.
Did you see it? Did you see the alien? Old crap? I believe. And
people were like, Hey, man, I'll get to you. I'll get it for free
for free. You don't have to pay for this. I gotta I gotta rip
version. I say I'm not happy. I have no time. I have no time to
spend on this. I mean, I'm the first guy who will be like this
next week. I got a couple of clips from the EU thing I want
to do.
Yes. Hold on a second. Hold on a second EU thing Oh, yeah, it
gives me a chance to do this
so I found I got the clip from a van cat, the French outlet,
which is essentially the first indications of the European
Civil War.
Oh, and finally three. Finally it's about time
and it's all kind of it's this is just this is actually a long
boring report that you have to read this listen to the subtext
and you realize and this was a little thing that took place I
think about a week ago when they were exchanging nasty Twitter's
between Germany and France which is going to be the start of the
Civil War
those two again is always the same. These idiots
this is the this is the furthest it's gotten this will be at this
is the point we're gonna mark it in the book. This is when the
war began
growing tensions between France and Germany, the two allies and
strongmen of Europe are exchanging harsh words. Did
you record this off your telescreen? Was this the George
Orwell news?
This became this this came from a feed that's on the internet
and it just has the sound sock sounds.
Oh, I love it. No, it sounds really authoritarian like oh,
well,
at least in the press. It all started with an interview
published last week where Frances Parliament Speaker
advocated a more head on approach with Berlin. Oliver
fairy reports.
Well, French President Francois alone called it friendly tension
with Germany. The vocabulary using a draft document from his
socialist party was far from amicable, calling German
Chancellor Angela Merkel selfish and obsessed with Germany's
economy and her own political career. French speaker the
National Assembly Claude Barcelone even raised the
prospect of a confrontation with Merkel to better put things into
perspective. Now the LSA is trying to put out the flames
before they spread. Prime Minister Gianmarco wrote took to
Twitter in German no less saying that Europe's problems will not
be solved without an intense and sincere dialogue between Paris
and Berlin and other high ranking French ministers now are
also criticizing the criticism of Merkel, Rudy, but we debate
Yes, there
are questions that need to be asked that need to be put to
Germany. No but belligerence, no. And that's what you're
alluding to. It's inappropriate to criticize individual leaders
like this usual.
Merlin has also tried to play down tension, saying it is not
the words of parties that count but rather the actions of
governments, though not all share the sentiment,
transmitting data on its insolence from the French
socialists, Germany cannot be held responsible for the state
of the French economy. Which definition is good, even if I'm
angry that are close to styli but criticize us like this also
stock for disease.
And well, Bert alone may be sending a message counter to the
LSA, it does position him well should Oh Lauren choose to
change direction and look for a new prime minister. A move that
the French opposition would surely welcome since it would
underline a severely divided Socialist Party clicked Oh,
glue.
It's almost, you know, it almost sounds like one of those movie
real documentaries. Like about this. Yeah, but almost like
starting on May the second of 2013 when frog boots something
like that.
So a follow up. Yeah, it is his advice on the follow up is this
was a compilation of my Nigel Farage Rogers comments at the
sovereign man conference poboy, which was done by these guys who
want people to buy their books about how you can get a second
passport and stuff like that. And there's so there's a couple
of cuts in here that I think are awkward. But generally speaking,
it's a good Faraj rant, including some inside
information that we have not heard yet.
My fear is that in the end, what will break up the euro? Isn't
the economics of it, it will be a wholesale violent, possibly
even revolution that we see in the Mediterranean. And what I
hate about this is that it's all so unnecessary. Five countries,
five of the 17 have now been bailed out. And you heard it
here first. The next is Slovenia. Slovenia will be
bailed out within the next two to three months. Okay, you heard
it here first round, given that the French Of course now have a
new president, who I think actually in the modern day
pantheon of idiots that are running countries around the
world. I think Mr. Rolando is absolutely the number one is
third act was to introduce a hate tax of 75%. For any
successful entrepreneur, and with the last one, please leave
the country immediately. This has become a religion, the idea
that we must abolish abolish the individual nation states. And
you know, they've got a new flag. They've even got an
anthem, you know, they've taken part of Beethoven's Fifth and
it's the anthem. And every two months in the European
Parliament, they raised the flag of a play in the anthem. Do you
think I stand to attention? To I hell. But they've sunk to this
level, because Merkel is terrified, because she has an
election coming up in September. So she has to show to the German
people, she's tough. And stealing money is a means of
doing so. And I repeat the advice I gave this morning. If
you have investments, if you have money, based with Eurozone
banks, then my advice to you is get your money out of those
banks in those jurisdictions as quickly as you can. Because next
when the next phase of this disaster comes, they will come
for you.
So that could be the Netherlands by the way.
For what next bailout? Yeah. Yeah, well, he says it's going
to be Slovenia. And that's there wasn't even on our radar
was this thing about Beethoven? Is that the the European,
apparently is stolen from Beethoven. That's it. You would
you have the national anthem there. Of course,
I have it every morning.
It's Oh to joy.
Yeah, I guess I don't know.
Yeah, I'm looking at the book of knowledge here. Oh, it says Oh,
to joy is the anthem of the European Union and the Council
of Europe Starfleet Command both of which refer to it as the
European anthem. With What a rip?
They stole it in a green named it's
Jip to good it's a good tune
maybe we should wrap to it well, maybe not.
So there's a couple of things in there that also should be
pointed out. Because I went to the I was in San Francisco
yesterday for an event and and I stopped at one of the wine
stores I frequent.
What was what was the event can
you tell? Yeah, the Alexus rollout of the new is
so your scam and cars again?
Not scamming anything. Did you get 140 I'm a reporter and
you have did you have your little portable recorder your
podcast where you go like hi, I do a podcast Can I Can I sit in
the car?
No but I did I here's a little this is an aside but let me make
sure that I get back to this point. But so I'm talking with a
lot of writers there and this guy from glam and he's and he
but he's really nice guy liked him. But he had a he said he
were talking somehow we were talking about average or we were
talking about splits with a lot of people a lot of these
publications nowadays. They get they find a bunch of bloggers.
They put them online I mean Forbes is doing this. Forbes is
doing it. ZDNet is doing it. They're all doing it. So they
put a bunch of bloggers online and then they do a revenue
split. If the bloggers tracks enough attention that they
actually get revenue.
So this of course, means you make up all kinds of bullcrap.
Oh, yeah. A lot of this, these blogs are garbage. So anyway, so
you saw that thing is that vent Forbes has got plenty of them.
And so that but anyway, the thing is, is that he says it'd
been kind of a surprise because there's been a huge fall off in
advertising revenue as people are shifting back to television,
these big advertisers. And he told me that Federated Media,
yeah, laid off 90 people.
That's a bad idea. That's a bad sign.
He says, Because I said, Well, I expect this is a cyclical thing.
And then this advertising thing is gonna cave and it's gonna
take Google with it. It's gonna take Yahoo with it's gonna
really make a mess because
how well okay, okay, so this is really important. I think you
and I have discussed on the show multiple times, that the whole
internet advertising thing is a scam. It's a big scam. This is
It's bots. It's botnets it's it's entire aircraft hangars
full of Indians clicking on stuff looking at screen.
And the Philippines has a big Philippines is
huge. This is inner advertised chef course somewhere and I
think search advertising you know, that's we know that's a
scam doll. But this this click thing. This banners, it's scams.
It's a huge scam. At the end of the month, when it's time for
the board meeting. You go and spend $10,000, and you'll make
13. I missed 3000. In the middle. It's called arbitrage,
which is the word you don't believe exist. But this is what
the internet has become. And I'm glad I'm glad this is falling
apart. It needs to fall apart so we can have less crap.
Yeah, well, he says that he's noticing it. And I when he told
me about the Federated Media, layoff. That's it. That's where
he worked before, right. He was one of the guys laid off and he
went to work as a writer over at glam. And so I thought that was
very interesting. Is
this something recent, these layoffs, apparently, let's see
what's going on the way he says
it the way he says it. This is a building phenomenon. And he's
noticing it and he's apparently I'm watching it.
I'm seeing November. Let's see last year. Yeah, I'm not seeing
that would probably be it. November. So what's going on at
Federated Media shutters? Standard direct sales business
announces layoffs. This is when was this? Well, it's 2009. No,
no, no, no.
Some more recent.
I'm seeing. I'm seeing November 23 2012. Why Federated Media has
to reinvent online, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, they probably keep
it quiet. You know, they probably they have this is
who's reports this crap? I mean, when the internet goes down into
a whole state, nobody even writes about it.
They're offline. Yeah, the Royal Canadian Mint has been pushing
forward. I'm sorry. Do you want to finish up your thing about
Europe?
Yeah, I want to finish what I was saying. I could put a little
arrow. So I'm at the wine store. And the guy we're talking about
some winemakers in Bordeaux. And I said, you know, this guy he
wants to, he wants to get a better appellation. And we're
just gossiping about the guy and we and he said, Well, you know,
this guy needs to move here. And that one guy who knows him?
Well, he says, Yeah, that's what he's thinking. I said, What do
you mean? He said, he's thinking of moving here because of the
tax is in France was 75% on his winery. So you can't make any
money. He says, What Are they crazy? Yeah. So there is a tax
of 75% on business, small businesses, and I guess Sure,
wineries Sure. It's crazy
that you know, when, in 1972, when we moved to the Netherlands
income tax was 72 or 73%. And the slaves loved it. Now at the
time, of course, you had no government, television,
government radio, and you had government health care. I mean,
really, you know, paid for by everybody. And if you if you
broke a toenail, it's like, oh, stay home, don't worry about it.
It's okay. We'll take care of you. Here's some money. Here's a
check. And of course, of course, everyone just massively was
taking advantage of the system. Neighbors hating each other like
he's staying home he's getting paid so I don't believe he
hasn't hurt his back really hurts. So horrible system that
the bad bad system I've lived in it doesn't work. And this is the
socialist French. Yeah. And so the French are just gonna get
all pissed off. They're already pissed off because the whole
country is has been hijacked with a Muslim invasion. And
they're very angry about this. It's, you know, but they don't
really They just drink a little more but they are angry and it's
brewing inside and when you get the French angry ha Be careful
they tend to chop heads off these guys
the French are nasty I mean people always like to ridicule
them for not being fighters because of what happened in
World War Two now the French personality is just the opposite
you know they are in fact you find this the French Canadian so
how about you does little French Canadian guys we're all the
boxes in Canada always come from tough and me.
So Sebastian at the Aussie at the market so he lost his his
his kitchen license, which you know, we don't know why but so
he can't make his merch gash and he can't make his duck comfy. So
he's just selling the raw, you know, the animals. And I'm not
interested in a duck. You know, I want his duck comfy. I want
his a sausage. I want it to Marrakech. I know I'll even take
some of his What do you call the stuff that's illegal now in
California, the goose? Wah wah wah Guerra. But he's not allowed
to do that anymore. Because I'm sure because he's an arrogant
French prick. And he got so pissed someone off and I said,
Well screw you with your license. And so I you know, I
haven't been works. I haven't been shopping. Because I don't
want I don't want his stuff. And I went up to him the other day
says you lose points. You know? You lose points. You know, you
don't you don't come here in Omaha. You lose points with me.
Talking about, you know, you'd not you know, to buy from me no
more. I want you to know, I had my license to use points with
me. The French. And by the way, how many French fuckers donate
to the show. None. Exactly. 00
No, they're socialists. They're the you know, is but they're
mean. They're French. Underneath it all. I mean, I love going to
France and I know how to deal with the French. I don't worry
about that meanness. But underneath the French, French
there's a mean streak there. And they and they get when they get
worked up. They're the ones when they have strike. They're having
strikes constantly. And they're the guys who pulled over used to
be a big wine thing going on. And what were they they pull
over the truck, a truck filled with El Jurian wine, and they
turn the truck over dump the wine down the sewer and beat the
crap out of the truck driver. Yeah.
I mean, but let's be honest, they still insist on speaking
French. Come on, get with it. modernize people. modernize
already. Okay, I need to do two things. Are you done with
Europe? Pretty much I liked that, though. Put it in May
2 2013. Start of the European war. And of course, the
beginning of the war with Eurasia and Oceania against
Eurasia. So we have a new FCC chairman. coming in.
Yeah, lobbyist, not the middleman. It's it's the
lobbyists in charge.
It's funny you say this, because it turns out that he is indeed
he was a a lobbyist, not for one, but for two trade groups.
And, and so he did lobby, the government. And so now he is in
charge of the FCC, which means he'll be in charge of cell
phone, broadband, radio, ham radio, really everything and
gets to set policy. But here's what I don't understand. I went
to C span and I got some clips, you know, C span is pretty easy.
If you go to c dash span. video.org. There's a whole
archive system you can search. And I was sure that I heard the
President had done this. But yeah, it's true.
They also deserve to know that there are rules on the books to
keep it that way. They deserve a government that is truly by and
for the people. As I often said, during the campaign, we need to
make the White House, the People's House. And we need to
close the revolving door that lets lobbyists come into
government freely, and lets them use their time in public service
as a way to promote their own interests over the interests of
the American people when they leave. So today, we are taking a
major step towards fulfilling this campaign promise, oh, the
executive order on ethics I will sign shortly represents a clean
break from business as usual. Okay. As of today, lobbyists
will be subject to stricter limits than under any under any
other administration in history. He can't even read it. He's so
full of crap. If you are a lobbyists entering my
administration, that would be the guy will not be able to work
on matters. You lobbied on. Whoa,
whoa, well, how can he work? He can't, he can't do this. It's in
the executive order. It's breaking the President's own
rule. I'm gonna just back that up. I heard I probably did not.
If you come into my administration. As a lobbyist,
you cannot work on things that you lobbied the government for
what he lobbied for this you As a lobbyist for the cable, and
for the wireless industry to work
on matters, you lobbied on, or in the agencies you lobbied
during the previous two years, or even two
years. Well, we know the guy lobbied the FCC in two years.
This is outrageous. When you
leave government, you will not be able to lobby my
administration for as long as I am President. And there will be
a ban on gifts by lobbyists to anyone serving in the
administration as well.
And I remember because we talked about this, and then I pulled
another clip, and this is all 2009 stuff, new rules. If you
are enlisting in government service, you will have to commit
in writing to rules limiting your role for two years in
matters involving people used to work with and barring you from
any attempt to influence your former government colleagues for
two years after you leave. Sounds like
a bad deal to me, my friend. I wouldn't be I wouldn't I would
not accept this position. Mr. Wheeler.
Does that work with guys like Chertoff?
Well, the two years have already gone.
Yeah, now it has, but he went right into them. And most of
these guys go right into the business right immediately.
Well, here's the here's my hate in the CIA guy. He's working for
Chertoff
is cool the way that works, but no one ever calls anyone no one
ever says anything about it's
like, oh, the press corps
say something. Why would they? They're the ones they want
gifts. They want free cell phones, they want broadband,
they want Google Fiber, not gonna do anything like that. And
then this one, this one really killed me. So the the firm
perini, Zachary Parsons, received the business from the
state of California, a of $985,142,530 to build the first
section of the high speed rail. Yeah. And do you know who's in
that consortium?
I believe Dianne Feinstein husband, that would be correct.
That would be correct. Her husband, I guess, to build a
railroad that cost $35 million dollars per mile.
Watch, that was only $32 million
inflation. Last time we talked about, it's gone up a little
bit. And then we have
a billion dollar contract from Feinstein for Feinstein's
husband. And then we have Benghazi. And
this is very interesting. So apparently, several of the other
people who are in the Consulate of Benghazi. And we know there
are about 30 of them, who are whisked off to Germany after the
ambassador was killed, and three other service members were
killed, I think one CIA, one seal, two other dudes all
selling arms, whatever they were doing. And so now they want to
testify later this month, Darryl Eisah, of course, is putting
this all together. And it sounds like the administration in the
White House is denying, or is trying to stop really these
people from talking now we, we thought that it was possible
they had received national security letters, which
basically says if you talk about this, we're gonna lock you up
forever. We put you in jail. And you know, there's the NSL
national security letters are used all the time, certainly by
this administration to shut people up. And so now there's
this one attorney who I do question, but she's making a lot
of trouble. Here's her partner and I think her husband,
Victoria toensing. My partner has just been retained by one of
the Department of State whistleblowers, who are going to
appear before the Eisah committee on April 26.
Congressman ISIS sent a letter to the new Secretary of State
John Kerry demanding that the lawyers who are going to
represent these whistleblowers be cleared be given clearances
so they can talk to their clients in the committee about
classified information. The Department of State is refusing
to grant clearances to Victoria and other people who want to
represent the whistleblowers in an attempt to prevent the
testimony. There's going to be a constitutional showdown here.
Congress is going to win the administration's effort to cover
up what happened at Benghazi is going to fail. It's taken a long
time. But Boehner and company had finally gotten their act
together and have decided that they must get the answers but
right now, the Department of State is refusing to give
security clearances to people like Victoria, so they can
represent the whistleblowers. The whistleblowers are out
there. These are great Americans. They are heroes. They
were on the ground in Benghazi. They want to tell their story,
and the administration is going to do everything it can to stop
them from testifying under oath in public and they want to
protect Hillary and the President. That's what this is
all
this. So there's a one of these lawyers or maybe the lawyer
Victoria tune Singh is all over. She's on Fox News. And she's
like, Hey, they're covering up there. And I just want to say
that this woman has a beef with certainly with the Clintons.
Back in the Monica Lewinsky days, they were on television
all the time. She and her husband, I think this was her
husband, I
think what's your name again? Tune
Singh toen, s i n g. And she was in the Reagan administration, as
a Deputy Assistant Attorney General headed up the Terrorism
Unit. But she also you know, she also defended the government
with a TWA 847 hijacking a Pan Am flight 103. So she's not a
good actor. Okay, because, you know, pan and 103. Clearly CIA
job, well known, they blame it on the schmuck from Libya, which
of course, was later misused by this current administration. So
I'm not I'm not thinking she's such a great person, and
certainly her beef against Hillary Clinton. But it's not
like this is unknown. It's not like it's unknown, that they're,
you know, that we've tried to get people to testify. And this
question did come up in the impromptu press conference with
the President. And his answer was pretty funny. I know, pieces
of this story have
been litigated, and you've been asked about it. But there are
people in your own state department saying they've been
blocked from coming forward, that they survived the terror
attack, and they want to tell their story, will you help them
come forward and just say it once and for all,
and I'm not familiar with this notion that anybody has been
blocked from testifying? So what I'll do is I will find out what
exactly you're referring to. What I've been very clear about
from the start, is that our job with respect to Benghazi has
been to find out exactly what happened to make sure that US
embassies not just in the Middle East, but around the world are
safe and secure. And to bring those who carried it out to
justice. But I'll find out what exactly you're referring to
hiring
an attorney because they're saying that they've been blocked
from
what ever now Kearney spokes
Hold on, she looks like Mel Torme a
spokes Oh, Kearney, his his answer was even better. So okay,
so we want to clearly we want to avoid the whole Benghazi thing.
ixnay on the and Ghazi Bay, because you know that we know
that was a botched kidnapping that was set up to make the
president look good and make him a hero. And there was and by the
way, you know, there's a lot of information about what really
happened. Yeah. Chris was, what was his name?
But from what? Chris
Chris, I was like Chris Anderson, but now the Chris
Matthews the ambassador No, not Christmas. Oh,
that's me. Chris Matthews,
the ambassador. Oh, yeah. He didn't just die of smoke
inhalation. Okay. Stevenson was Stevenson. They raped him with a
broom handle and dragged him naked through the streets.
There's pictures of this. Yes, disgust. I mean, they they they
eff the guy up big time. And none of this was like, Oh, he
died of smoke inhalation. No, no, I'm sorry. They raped him
with a broom handle. Okay. This is no joke. What happened here?
This was went incredibly wrong. Things with this administration
are going on and they're so arrogant. This is what I think
happened with with Boston, something went wrong. Maybe not.
Anyway, I don't want to get into that. Because before you know
what I'm selling your seeds. But here is spokes haul Carney's
reaction and how he's how he says shut up
about that. The department Defense Department and the State
Department both have written letters, as I understand it, to
Republican Darryl ISIS saying that they're not aware of anyone
coming to them, asking for security clearances for their
counsel or anything to come forward. First, is that your
understanding? And second? If someone were to come forward, if
they just haven't technically told their superior or
something? If they were to come forward, is the White House
willing to let them
testify? Well, again, I mean, that's that's a hypothetical.
But let's be clear. Well, there were Benghazi happened a long
time ago.
That's my favorite clear.
It happened a long
way. dredging up the past so long, man,
really? I mean.
We are unaware of any agency blocking an employee who would
like to appear before Congress to provide information related
to Benghazi.
He's reading let's be clear, that happened a long time ago,
man. It's like really, man, it's like a long time ago, man.
Seriously? Ah
longtime.
I could go on forever, but we can't. We can't go on forever.
We have to stop this show here. What do you think should we stop
here? Is whatever the time it is I know Yeah, why did we wind up
doing this?
We got to a late start
yeah we also but we went long you should have stopped me.
I was on a roll I was glad we're here so one more thing that
let's do one more thing stopped they stopped it
Oh really? You're gonna stop the show for one more thing? Yeah.
