They talk about it quite a bit. But the one you want to listen
to is the girl on AlJazeera. Yeah. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak.
Sunday, September 15 2013. Time for your Gitmo nation media
assassination episode 548.
This is no agenda.
Looking at the points for the UMG here in the Travis heights
hideout the Capitol Homestar state Austin K Haas in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm nine dog biscuits over
to John C. Dvorak.
Spoken like a guy who's on ham radio all the time. Nine dog
distance over two, which means great signal can't hear yeah.
Nice one. Doesn't matter because you're not a reporter either.
Apparently not. Now.
Did you see this? The Senate now agrees? Science is in?
Yeah, people have been sending us a lot of email about this. So
this is a this is the turn for the worst for the for the entire
country.
And this was predicted I mean, we've talked about there. i You
did Yes. Go actually
wait to be done not to not to toot my own horn because I don't
like doing that. Well,
hold on. For you.
Thank you. But even before we started began this show I had
written about this because in fact, I think I've just said
this commonly saying that the whole light once the blogging
came in, um, to two whole ideas to screw. Thank you. That's very
good. Screw writers.
Yeah. Or just anyone who has something to say. And next
next on that same train station on the same railway. Boom,
licensing.
That's right. That's right. Licensing for being a
journalist. So if you had not heard about this, this is the
media shield law that we've been following. And I guess it went
into committee at the at the Senate. And as this, this has
got to be Schumer. Right, Chuck Schumer. And let's see, here we
go to the committee approved the overall bill. Now we've
discussed this bill, and I put another copy of it in the show
notes at five, four a.na shownotes.com. So you can
take a look at it. Essentially, you can be a covered journalist.
And of course, it's just a short hop from covered journalist to
journalist. And you can be that if you're an an employee, an
independent contractor or agent of an entity that disseminates
news or information, but you have to have been employed for
one year within the last 20 What is it the last one of the last
20 weeks or three months within one year within the last 20 or
three months within the last five years? Like all these
stipulations is like you're not an official journalist.
You can't report on Yoni white working two months you don't
count.
And there's this outfit called I don't know if you've ever heard
of these. This thing the Reporters Committee for freedom
of the press. Are you familiar with this outfit? You know, I'm
always finding these anyway go you can find that at our cfp.org
it is a nonprofit association dedicated to providing free
legal assistance to journalists since 1970. I'm I'm quite
surprised you're not a member of this John if you being a
journalist for joining today. So if you look at the once you go
ahead and take a look at about us so you can see who's who's in
this fine outfit. And it's it is a who's who of female seals.
Look at the fellowships where it was the the steering committee
is what you want about a steering committee. So we have
Sondra Tory of USA Today. Pierre Thomas of ABC News. We've got
Wolf Blitzer of CNN, we've so this is this is every single
mainstream talking head, you can imagine is on the steering
committee. And here is their response to the media shield
law. We are pleased to see that the judiciary committee passed
this bill, Andrea Mitchell, it goes a long way towards ensuring
that reporters will be protected from subpoenas for their
confidential information and sources is Judy Woodruff. It's
not a perfect bill, but it tries to cover a broad array of
reporters. Next name.
There's no other really big name. So
while it is not as inclusive as we would like, it is not nearly
as limited in that area as previous attempts at a federal
shield law have been. Okay. final paragraph it is still it
still is important that we work with cron Congress and the
administration to make sure journalists records are not
scooped up in broad surveillance programs, and that Justice
Department attorneys respect the rights of reporters, but today's
action is is a significant step in the right direction. And I
would refer all of these talking heads these big names like
Andrea Mitchell Wolf Blitzer. Who else do we have appear?
Thomas
Pierre Thomas, ABC News.
I say why don't you take a look at the amendment number two of
the Constitution, Bill of Rights, that stuff. You might
have heard of it. Congress shall make no law. That's all you need
to know. You don't even have to go any further. This is a law.
But you know, they're elitist pricks. That's why they like it.
Yeah, then we can't No, no, no, it's all media trying to keep
out new media. So that's all there is to it.
Isn't that the same thing? Yeah, leaders. Yeah, they're elitist.
And they think that they're pooped down the place. They own
the place. And, but, but I mean, this is like, you know, that
this is only the beginning. And then there'll be covered
journalists, and then it'll be like journalists, licensed
journalists. I mean, that it's incredibly short sighted
to put up a website now. What licensed journalist.com?
Well, we have podcast licensed.com We have that
journalists licensed journalists license. I don't know if we can
get there.
Unless something needs to be jazzy or again, as you can see,
can't be dull. Maybe we
can just make it a part of WWW dot drunk ugly chicks.com Wait,
it was ugly drunk. chicks.com Ugly drunk chicks. But you have
to do the www first,
which is crazy.
So yeah, so this is this is great news for everybody who
likes living in, in a police state in a Stasi state. And
there's just of course, there's no actual journalists who are
dying that I can tell. Fighting this or that see the the evil
that all these journalists assumed to be on this list. are
all talking heads kind of Meat Puppets. Yeah. I don't see them
doing any work
is has Glenn Greenwald spoken out against this?
I don't think he's aware. He's too busy writing speeches for
other people.
You know, a lot of people weighed in we were talking about
the Joseph was no Jacob Appelbaum acceptance speech on
behalf of Edward Snowden. I'm sorry, Mr. Snowden, in Germany
for being whistleblower of the year. When we I mean, first, the
web is now whistleblower of the year.
That's right. It should have should be the same group doing
them. They can combine
the awards, don't you think? That is Gentlemen, welcome to
the Webby and whistleblower of the Year awards. Here to present
Kevin Spacey. He's always at all of these award shows.
You notice that? While he doesn't have anything else to do
anything like web web based, he's there. So a lot of people
are saying that maybe it wasn't Glenn Greenwald who wrote that
speech as you identified. Maybe it was the other guy the The
Washington Post guy. No. What's his name again? Bill?
Why would it be him? He makes zero sense. I don't know. It's
not button and everything. He just did it. He's just doing his
thing. And you know, as a paid stooge, I gotta do volunteer
work. He's,
he's a covered journalist dammit.
In for doing anything. He's all in. He's tweeting all the time.
He just had a tweet today. Just before you tweet it. Yeah.
Actual foreign policy expert Andrew Bache of itch. That guy
we talked about already? Yeah. A New York Times foreign policy
expert, David Brooks. So So salon magazine, apparently does
a hit piece on David Brooks, who we've identified as well,
probably an intelligence community member at some level,
right? Because of some of the stuff he says, which is just
completely off the wall. And Santa sounds like he's, it
sounds like somebody's agenda. So I guess salon magazine
decided just to go afterwards being always wrong.
Remember, salon has has to have some kind of agenda. It is it is
financed on an annual basis with $4 million by the President's
daddy, who is the chairman of Adobe and he literally puts in
the money. Because then just you know, I think that costs 4
million to run and they lose 3 million he makes up so they get
like a million bucks. And I don't understand
why they can't make money to be honest about it. It's just as
good as half of these places. Well, how's
the new domain dotnet doing? Is that making money?
Of course not. And we need to we need we need to have Adobe to
help us.
But that's my point. You got great writers.
Andrew J. Bacevich writes his column it's called David Brooks
is constantly wrong. Takes a lot to be the voice of the New York
Times op ed page most consistently wrong about the
word so they'd say hit piece, right? Yeah, no, you need might
these things all need money to get going on AOL.
But John, none of this stuff is really making any anything
that's advertising Bay. East is not really like the verge The
Verge is all venture capital those wait until that runs out.
Let's see if those guys are still around and if their heads
are still that big what else is really working? Well when it
comes to writing not much what is really making the money
Boiling Boiling is a hobby site. By the way, this Reporters
Committee I think I have I pulled their 990 This is not a
small outfit. This is they got some real money here in this
thing, like millions and millions of dollars. Doing a lot
of 990 work
out, give us your 990 research. Let's go.
Oh, well, that'll take us right into the I NSA. If you I don't
know if you're ready for that.
As opposed to what do we have any lightweight stuff we can
start with? Did you go out to dinner with your buddies? Did
you hang out in Austin? You know, there's a football game
there and he gets to town it goes crazy. You find it
annoying. I know. You hate sports.
I don't hate sports. I'm just completely uninterested. And
know this. It's like no, I really don't notice any of that
there might might be someone might say like his like the
gardener I think said hey, do you watch the boxing match? No.
I don't even know what you're talking about.
It was pay per view. How are you gonna watch it? Well, I
guess I could have paid to view it. But I know I'm not 60 bucks
to the Longhorns play. Is that what you're saying? The good ol
Longhorn.
Yeah, and how they do believe they lost. I think the team is
going down the tubes. Yeah, and you should know this if you live
in that town. I don't have to know this at all this completo
when somebody says hey gold go horns, and then honk your horn
is completely irrelevant to my life. Apparently. Mickey did
have a naked photo shoot here yesterday that was kind of cool.
Who was naked? Like there's like this androgynous kind of boy
girl thing it was pretty twisted. Yeah, twisted. I was
like
lower to the left. No, no, no, no, no, no, no no no don't touch
that.
Mickey show me that picture like this that says I'm turned on by
this Yeah, that's the dude oh well that's so that is
forthcoming ladies and gentlemen. Well, that was it.
Okay, I got something like here's the here's a little light
thing. I don't know if you saw this, but we actually have we
have a jingle for this. But I'll play the little media report
first and then I'll play the gym,
anything in the world to drink. But when you choose water, you
truly are choosing the best thing you can for yourself. Mrs.
Obama picked Water Town. also home to a couple of companies
that produce soft drinks to promote the healthier h2o
choice.
Just drink up. Because truly as I've said before, water is the
first and best energy drink
to help hyperhydration goals. The First Lady tapped into Eva
Longoria star power where
to talk about
students seem impressed with the all star stop. It's a good
message. I mean, drinking water is definitely important for
younger people so they can stick with a healthier diet. I think
it's cool that Michelle Obama even came to support it.
I feel like now I should drink a lot more water to you know kind
of stay hydrated kind of stay fit as far LinkedIn is fluoride
in this of course is why the First Lady is promoting this
drink your water
what you had the wrong jingle at the end it should have been a
gunshot I felt like shooting myself I mean telling people to
wall hey I got the First Lady I'm gonna I got it I got all
this influence let me tell you what we should be doing drinking
water
well there's a couple of things you need to know she is talking
about drinking bottled water and Pepsi Co just coincidentally is
coming out with their new competing water product
oh the one that competes with the coke water
yes coke Well Yes correct. Coke has I believe they bought smart
water
and they also have they have their their that other water
that you see all over the place. This is really
well here's the thing that really struck me is that it is
young and Aruba cam buck and food. Nielsen proclivity media
VML and core strategies that handled the research marketing
messaging and advertising for the Miss Obama water drive. This
is not okay, she's she is doing a commercial.
Yeah, it's totally corrupt. And you know, and I'm stuck in it
for you, babe.
You know, it's like wow, that's a that's I mean that is not just
not okay she's she's she's out there promoting the water for
soft drink companies not tap water not clean tap water
certainly and oh my god I'll tell you in Austin we that's the
one thing we have shit water here
Oh get one of the unit that zero thing is quite good now we
filter our water we don't remember which one it was filter
you using?
I have a promise Beretta no I have a Berkey Water Filter
Berkey Yeah, this
is the thing that's advertised on all the survivalist shows.
Got it and but it's really it's a it's a huge like, like a
barrel like a silver plated kind of thing and you put the water
in the top and removes everything including fluoride
and it takes hours for it to drip all the way down. It's
really good.
Get the best one is to die I've seen so far. Is this zero? It's
called No. Grades. No. What's wrong with no dissolved solids
when you're done?
No, but the Berkey is really it's high court. It's not cheap
either. It's like a couple 100 bucks. He's a real high in
watercolors.
Let's take a look at this. Okay, what is it? Well, how do you
spell this thing?
B E R k e y I think
water filter this is the kind of things Yeah, this is a vibe.
This is a candidate Jim Baker sells
know someone else sells them too.
But you call your buddy. Yeah, so your buddy, they're in
Austria. Here
it is, is the Big Berkey gravity water filter.
How come you haven't met up with him? The Big Berkey Water Filter
System Review. We not only review it but we also sell it to
you. You can count on our review. Oh, is this big Kent
looking thing? Yeah. That's got a little thing a little, a
little little bitty dinky little piece of crap faucet at the
bottom that says a regular thing is gonna break off
that thing. Yeah, I've had it for over a year. It's doing
fine. It removes fluoride
and arsenic. Yes.
It's a good water filter.
filters have a 3000 gallon life? Yeah. A review we tested,
although we sell it to them, the waters just
as great as other places to get a review. John, you don't have
to just get it from there.
It holds three gallons. Yeah, takes the dirt out.
And you can pee in this and it'll come out clean.
I doubt it. I think that I challenge you. I challenge this.
Okay. But I don't want to do it in the one we currently use. Uh
huh. So typically, this is how it goes. And then at the end of
this little conversation, there would be a code that you could
use to go and get a discount on your Berkey Water Filter.
Of course.
Yeah. All right. Let me let me move on here. The i n s. A,
there was a lot of activity on C span the past couple of days. It
seems like the intelligence community and Department of
Homeland Security all got together and said, you know,
these are the days this is the perfect time for us to talk
about the cyber problems and have a conversation that well,
this is a big conversation. So the AI NSA is the intelligence
National Security Alliance. And they had their first annual
meeting, and you can find them at ins a online.org INS a
online.org, a nonprofit organization that according to
their four form 990 has $20 million. Not bad for
first money come from? Well,
gee, it's funny you asked John, let's listen to the opening of
the AI NSA.
Good morning, everyone. And welcome to I
think this, by the way, is nager Pandey who's opening up the
whole thing for which Negroponte John Negroponte was former
security shield.
The inaugural INSA ICX summit at INSA. Our mission is to serve as
a catalyst for public private and academic partnerships,
passes in order to identify, develop and promote solutions to
the national security challenges confronting the intelligence
community. Hmm. I think we can all agree that we have achieved
the first part of that mission here at the ICX Summit, as we've
been able to assemble an audience of more than 500
professionals from across the public, private and academic
sectors, and here comes as well as an impressive list of more
than 40 panelists and moderators from those same sectors. So I
want to thank you all for being with us today. I want to extend
a special thank you to To all of our sponsors. In particular, I
would like to recognize our two host sponsors, Northrop Grumman
and Raytheon for their continued support of our efforts. In
addition to our host sponsors, I would like to thank ManTech for
sponsoring the breakfast, Deloitte for sponsoring the
registration.
Deloitte sponsored the registration.
Wow, that sponsorship
to see for sponsoring our speakers, lounge speakers, Lee
systems for sponsoring our lunch and social intelligence and
eagle ray for sponsoring the morning and afternoon coffee
break, these will re without your support. And so would not
be able to put on events such as this one today. Especially just
you.
What do you remember that we had this clip we had the guy who was
making the argument that the whole Obama the backstory and
Obama was to get get rid of Bush and the Lockheed Martin kind of
Lockheed Martin sector that was dominating politics during the
Bush administration. Yeah.
And that yes, I remember. Yeah. Bring bring in Grumman
and Raytheon. And these guys, I'm looking over this list of
you know, that are on the committee's on the steering
committees on the boards. It's all there's no Lockheed people
to be found anywhere. This is this is obvious screw job to the
West Coast aerospace industry to push the East Coast aerospace
industry, which would be Grumman in the boys. This is just This
is this is a shallow operation. This is a bunch of bulk
crap. I'm looking to see if I can find if I can find that clip
on Lockheed. It would you would probably would have put Lockheed
title I'm sure. I can't.
I titling stinks. Yeah,
it makes it makes searching rather complicated. Doesn't
matter. This is a very interesting conference. They not
only had the creme de La Crem of contractors, but they also had
the creme de la creme of speakers, Mike Rogers, Dutch.
Ruppersberger. Both of these two guys, these two
are the two guys are the worst they should be voted out.
Well, when you hear what they had to say you will feel even
more strongly about this. They are they are the Oversight
Committee for the intelligence community these and when you
hear there's no oversight. They're all in and they're at
this sponsored conference with. I mean, how can you even show
your face when you have all these names? This is the
sponsorships. Thanks for the lunch. Thanks for the speakers
room. And these are supposed to be our representatives. Oh, and
who is there moderating the panel? Well, we might as well
bring the media in.
So with that said, I'd like to introduce our first plenary
session of the day. The view from the hill featuring
Congressman Mike Rogers, Chairman of the House Permanent
Select Committee on Intelligence and Congressman Dutch
Ruppersberger. I'm sorry, the congressman, Ranking Member of
the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and
who's going to moderate the discussion is Fran Townsend,
national security analyst and Executive Vice President of
MacAndrews and Forbes holdings. And as many of you
as you know, that no, I do now I didn't
know she was Executive Vice President of Forbes holdings. He
needs to recuse herself,
Candice. That's a like, I've heard it. Now. You remember.
Fran was my predecessor as chairperson of ince INSA until
last December, prior to her time at INSA
she actually ran this outfit there's a yeah there's a lot
about Fran we didn't know I didn't know
she was running through a mover and a shaker this woman
and she's dressed in her hot little sleeveless
Andrew and Forbes holding is the principal holding company used
by private equity investor Ron Perlman
pa that's interesting Revlon All right. So anyway, so you get the
idea there it's Fran
products products. Medics, Revlon vehicles. I'm gonna set
up as this what vehicles do they have? I know about the Revlon I
know about their subsidiaries allied security holdings, LLC.
That's probably the big one that you have to deal with. I am
General Deluxe entertainment Services Group, Inc, M and F
worldwide Pana. Vision, ref. Blonde group scientific games
Corporation, Sega technologies and trans tech Pharma.
Yeah, all right. So a lot thickens. Let's listen in to a
little bit of this conversation. Here is the Congressman Mike
Rogers. propagating a lie that is not only has not only been
discussed on the no agenda show, many times, but is admitted to
be a lie, except for some reason no one really remembers what the
truth is. And this audience is just all in on it.
Certainly Putin is eager to get back in the game of influence
around the world, as you've seen unfold. And of course, I don't
know if you've read his New York Times. Editorial, it's good to
get lectured by the guy who invaded South Paulo Sathya. Not
that long ago.
No, I'm sorry. That is incorrect. It is a fact that
Georgia invaded Russia in that case. Is this not true? John?
Yes, all the documents show.
Yeah. So why is the Congressman saying this?
Well, he wants to say it because that's what that we have. We
made a scenario a litany a script, and that's part of it.
And so he asked to say that. On the best podcast,
we've got a new faculty angle. Okay.
Let's get harmonica. Hear
more from Mike Rogers as he really gets angry about the so
called violations of the NSA. And you're going to start to
hear some interesting things as we get to one or two more clips
into this, about the kind of solidifies our theory that the
NSA document leaks, really were done by a competing agency, and
we're pretty sure that's the CIA being the competing agency. By
the way, no one no
brand, we've always not only worked for the cheese that
admittedly was an employee of the CIA, and we believe she
probably still has good contacts.
Here's Mike getting really angry about the so called violations,
by the way throughout throughout this entire conference, every
speaker and I mean, it was hours and hours of stuff. Every
speaker would would talk about Snowden, saying, by the way,
he's no whistleblower, that they would all have to say that,
which means the court has found some that intelligence committee
found some, and these are not it. Here's the other problem. We
we we used such specific language in the in describing
these events every every time it came out. People said, Well,
that's a privacy violation. It says it's a violation. No,
absolutely wrong. They weren't privacy violations. They were
some of them were technical violations. And when I technical
violation jobs or word violation, that's even wrong.
It's just the technology changes. Everybody knows about
internet protocols. Something changes. There's going to be a
little glitch in the system to catch up.
Oh, oh, a little glitches. Would they do if you're like a citizen
and your speedometer is not working quite writing a few
miles over the speed limit? That's a glitch. You just I just
a glitch. I did. Oh, that you can go sir.
I should have tried. You know, I got nailed on the way to Marfa.
I got pulled over first speeding ticket and 25 years. Well, how
fast were you going? At 94. It's an 80. It's an 80 mile an hour
zone. This row and this is this is 300 miles of road. And and I
was trying this is the first time we've taken Mickey's car on
a big trip. So I'm setting the cruise control. And you know how
if you because there's Hills this you
weren't going 94? Yes. Just just on cruise control. Yeah. And
just bombing along California road you'd be bumped off the
road by right.
Oh, no, no, no, these are Texas roads friend, son. These are
good roads we got here. So I'm Yeah. So there's mountains in
this area. I mean, there are actual mountains, the Texas
whatever they're called, I call it the Texas mountains. And
there's this magic spot. If you're doing like exactly at on
the cruise control for some reason when it went up the hill,
he would downshift and it would you know like over rev like,
four 4000 RPM. So I'm like, Well, if I do it slower doesn't
do that. But if I do it faster, then it also doesn't overdrive
so I'm just like, oh 94 is the perfect speed. And some good old
boy. Got me. And he lifted John He literally hated blondie. Know
what? He had his hands in his thumbs in his belt, you know,
was doing that thing. We clocked you on radar door 94 miles an
hour. Yeah, so anyway 248 fucking dollars for this ticket
for 14 months was just regular dollars. Yeah, exactly. All
right, more. Yeah, so that's it. Anytime Internet Protocol. We
all know internet protocol. He says, you know, something
changes. You get glitches in the system.
The technology changes. Everybody knows about internet
protocols. When something changes,
everybody knows everybody sciences in there's going to be
a little glitch in the system to catch up. It's like The Matrix,
just little bits. In the system to catch up, right? That's
a technical problem, right? Not a privacy problem. Oh,
I'm sorry, it's a technical problem, not a privacy problems
are
listed in their list, a newspaper takes it and says,
aha, let's describe this as a privacy violation. 1700 or 96,
or whatever they were saying, most of those I this is what
gets my blood pressure upon these. Think of this nerfect
Americans should be mad by about this man for all the wrong
reasons that they're mad about it.
Now, this is a weird sentence that I'd wanted to deconstruct
Americans should be mad about it for all the wrong reasons.
They're mad about it. Now. What is he trying to say? Idiot
listening, I
never say most of those I this is what you get my blood
pressure up on this. Think of this nerfect Americans should be
mad by about this, for all the wrong reasons that they're mad
about it. Now, whatever, most of those violations that were
reported, wasn't there was lawful intercept of bad guys
overseas, bad guy,
write it down bad guys. Or bad guys overseas
or legitimately identified legitimate targets, reasonable
suspicion, all of that was was a file. Now in the modern day of
communication, you have really don't know where that person is
with that particular device.
Really. We don't We in the modern day of community, we
don't really know where that particular person is with that
particular device. Oh, excuse me, sir.
Bullshit at any time, right? And guess what you don't want us
to he's been he's been paid something by the Silicon Valley,
guys, because he's doing that right thing at the end of the
sentence, right? right person
for a temporary period of time being somewhere else by using us
networks. That's a confusing thing for a guy who's trying to
catch a bad guy. Right? Right. You all have implications on if
somebody uses a US network, even if they're a foreign person in a
foreign place.
Alright, so I want to point out again, this is one of the guys
who has oversight on the intelligence community community
oversight as a representative of the people. And here it comes.
Listen carefully to what he says here. So part
of the problem was, we were actually too good, too
aggressive in our oversight. And we documented it, and we talk
about it with leadership in order to try to fix it. They
stole that slide deck and put Oh,
did you hear it? Did you hear it? Yeah. What did he say? They
they stole that slide deck.
So part of the problem was, we were actually too good, too
aggressive in our oversight. And we documented it. And we talk
about it with leadership in order to try to fix it. They
stole that slide deck and put it out there and said, Oh my God,
we caught them doing something horribly wrong. We should
dismantle the National Security Agency. I am really worried
about where we're going here. And this growing sense of
isolationism is concerning to me.
There you go. This to me is him saying the CIA stole the slide
deck, and they're trying to get rid of the NSA.
Yeah, let's kind of like he might actually be saying that. I
think it's exactly what he said. And by the way, what's funny
about this is that generally speaking, the Republican Party
is the one who is isolationist. And he's a Republican.
Is he is Republican or Democrat. No, he's a Republican,
Republican. Okay.
The other guy, the roofers burger gives the bad guy. He's
the dumber. Yeah. All right. So this guy is this and he's just
this guy is bad. These are these are two bad guys.
Yeah, you know, John, just call me back for a second. If you
don't mind. You just got to. It's not a violation. It's just
a technical glitch.
I'm gonna call you back into it right now.
It's not a violation. Don't worry. It's just a technical
glitch. No, there's no real problem. I'll play the rest of
this clip, please. Reconnecting here.
If we don't get ourselves, right. And if we don't stop
beating Americans up for being Americans, we're going to be in
a lot of trouble when it comes to providing our intelligence
services, the tools that they need to protect this country.
All right. So then there's this whole thing about how he has to
have the FBI involved. I'm gonna leave that for what it is. And I
want to move through this a little bit. But he already
prefaces whatever you hear about the NSA sharing intelligence
with the Israelis, it's not true.
When you hear it, I'm going to be asked you all to be
skeptical, skeptical, this notion that the agency is
collecting on US persons and giving it to any foreign
intelligence agency, and the way it was described is completely
wrong.
Wrong. Yeah. No, they're do a better job than what was
described. Yeah, exactly.
This notion that the agency is collecting on US persons and
giving it to any foreign intelligence agency, and the way
it was described is completely wrong. Wrong. That's not what is
happening. No, I can't go into a lot of selling.
No, no, you're you're, you're stepping on it. You're stepping
on it. Obviously, it's happening.
I can't go into a lot of other detail but I can guarantee you
the privacy of Americans,
trust me. He's like, That's not what's going on. Now. I can't
tell you what is going on because that's secret. Because
you know, that could hurt the national security if I told you
that you're full of crap. full of crap, but who is even more
full of more crap is this Dutch Ruppersberger. This guy is a
real piece of work. He is Mr. talking point, you drop a penny
in this guy, and he just goes on forever.
That is dangerous. So now that you've got folks with European
papers, you've got folks with maybe American papers, who are
trained. They have been further radicalized.
This is still Rogers. He's about to hand off to Dutch and it gets
really funny. And guess
what, when this is over, I was like, when it's over, they're
going Oh,
hold on a second, they supposed to guess?
Yes, that's a month. Everyone has a pad of paper in the
audience.
That is dangerous. And so now that you've got folks with
European papers, you've got folks with maybe American
papers, who are trained. They have been further radicalized,
radicalized, this is a big theme.
And guess what, when this is over what is
what is most of the guests like when they get 12 year old quiet,
they're going home.
And Al Qaeda knows who they are, they know that they are a new
avenue for providing strike. So I think what the commissioner is
talking about is the dynamic of the threat changed. You don't
have to look for the big event, flying a plane into a building,
we'd like to do that too. But we also have to now worry about
those smaller knock off events.
Okay, so he's so this is the setup. So he's now gone through
all of the the NSA is great. The CIA, stole our decks and made us
look like Dick's stole our decks made us look like Dick's. And
now he's saying, oh, you know, now we have the smaller stuff
outside as Riot radicalizing children over here. And they
even have American nationality. And they're not looking for a
big 911 type events, although they'll take it but they're
doing smaller stuff, get ready Dutch.
And it's, you know, I'm equally concerned. And I do think their
threat is greater in that regard.
I agree with Mike, I think the real focus of what my concern
is, and I think a lot of us and Mike, you and I've had this
conversation is the lone wolf. They kind of realize the lone
wolf.
I love this guy. You're the lone wolf. It's not a wall. It's a
wolf. No, it's a wolf. And what
my concern is, and I think a lot of us and Mike and I've had this
conversation is the lone wolf.
gotta realize that's the lone wolf, everybody on Wolf Blitzer
that we're very sophisticated and being able to find a major
attack. Okay. So what we're attempting more out of Yemen, I
think, than any other area Yemen focusing on the United States
and having individuals that are under the radar under the radar,
not using phones not doing things that where they we can
pick things things up, they don't use phones. And that's by
the way, why it's so important. Ham radio, the intelligence
community to work with state and local, also a team approach, get
as much information as you can. Anything that looks unusual out
there. But this is what I'm concerned about. We had a couple
of those attempts. We were lucky. But some of those did not
occur. But it's it's a serious world. And now, I think you
can't misjudge how many people are helping Okada and funding
them. You have some very smart people that are part of the
organization. We have doctors that are that are trying to
research and they're putting plastic bombs in individuals so
that they can go through the airport and the Hello
2012 calling.
Are you kidding? It gets better he keeps going
up he detected. So this is very serious that we're taught we've
been talking a lot today about Syria and about terrorism but
let's let's not lose sight of the cyber attacks cyber how
serious it is not only to our country on what we're being lost
in money, but more importantly, how these attacks can affect us
here in this country. Destructive attacks. Australia
has been alleged alleged media reported I can't say directly,
but I know what it is. That around. Wait
a minute, wait a minute. Wait a minute. What is it has been
alleged but media report I can't see but I know what it is
say directly, but I know what it is that Iran knocked out Aramco,
the largest oil company for Saudi Arabia
dude that was on Alex Jones on infowars.com
knocked out 30,000 computers. When Russia as reported in the
media, went to attack Georgia. They
didn't know Russia did not attack Georgia. And he's making
it worse. He's saying they cyber attack them first. This is such
bull crap to
attack Georgia. They cyber attack and they shut down their
communication systems. And this is very serious and it really
concerns me. People say that's you and Mike are members of the
Gang of Eight what keeps you up at night? I don't say well spicy
Mexican food. And, you know, weapons of mass destruction
including what we're talking about with a chemical and cyber
and cyber and cyber. But what do you think the damages of cyber
John of cyber from the lone Wolf's how much money do you
think it is causing us in three years? It's time from cyber lone
Wolf's, what do you say? Millions?
How much? That 5 billion.
John, this is long ropes we're talking about here. It's not
just five billions. Wait,
really? You should live your life. Now, where are we we have
a lot of issues that we're dealing with. We're very
concerned about the cyber issue. Mike and I pulled together we
decided we had to do something about our cyber attack Simon, we
brought in the all different groups, we brought the ACLU,
you want to have another guest before I before he gives you the
answer? You're still sticking with three years? Five, 5
billion, 10 billion 10,000,000,003 years. Let me
write down. Okay.
My low,
your low, your low.
Last week, brown the business community to try to find a way
to deal with the issue of cyber very important. And we have to
deal with that issue. We're getting attacked, as you know,
every single day. Cyber Command estimated in the last three
years, I think we've lost about $400 billion from trade secret
information
$100 billion in three years.
400 billion. How did how did people put up with these guys?
Well, you said the other day that we need to vote them out.
This is this is extremely important. These, these are the
people who run the oversight, who are in charge of the budget
and of the actions of the National Security Agency. You
know, these guys have to go.
If you work for the government goes like this. You have a
little meeting and you go Hey, Adam, Ruppersberger is coming
in. Oh, yeah, that idiot. Yeah, well, that guy. Yeah. I'm gonna
run one by him here. See what he does? All right. I'm gonna tell
him that we've lost $400 billion.
No, wait a minute. Thank you. How are you going to do that?
Man, you just gonna throw that number out there.
I'm not gonna even back it up.
You're just gonna say it.
He'll bite. He'll bite you watch. Okay. All right.
Yeah, no one will ever know that all by it.
That's what I was saying.
They'll all buy it. No $400 billion. So he's saying that
this is partially I got it here at the end of his claim.
He's full of these two guys need to go. Listen, Ruppersberger is
the dumb one.
Yeah, yeah. But he's saying it's inlet Hill to him almost like
information on let me get the 400 billion quote, trade
secrets and information that mostly China, but other
countries? Oh, yeah.
China. So he's saying trade secrets and other information.
But yeah. If you want to value it that way, you know, yeah, I
guess this podcast is worth a billion on its own for all the
trade secrets and information that the Chinese are taken from
it.
Here. Let me give me see. Let me ask a rhetorical question. Okay.
So I have a company making widgets. Yeah, I take all my
blueprints. I load them up in a big truck and I put them in a
boat, ship them to China give them all a sudden say, hey,
please make copies of my widget for me.
They turn around and hack your system to get those very same
blueprints. According to make zero sense. Dot What kind of
name is Dutch anyway? My name is a kid Dutch, which is called
bells. Just call them Belgian. Belgian. Yeah. So this was all
very annoying to me. And then and it got worse when I saw the
INSA online.org. And if you look at the membership here, let's
see Council's tasks, task forces here about us. Leadership, who's
the leadership of this outfit, hold on a second. leadership,
leadership leadership and here we go
a bunch of hacks who got rousted from the
Judge John Negroponte, a Detroit the tranny. Ambassador Joseph
Arja. treni. All right. Charles Allen. Suzanne Wilson Hoko who
she is, hold on. But the don't they have like? They have like
some kind of counsel. Oh, cyber counsel. Let's look at the cyber
counsel.
Terry, Rob, get in on this.
Well, this is where the money is to get $20 million a year in
income. This is a lobbying group primarily. But I just don't
understand how can these two jibber Ionis sit there on a
panel with the media shill and and media industrial military
complex shill, Fran Townsend. And with Negroponte and by the
way, all the former guys were on C span this weekend all the
former DHS that everyone's former and they're testifying. I
mean, they are all lobbyists at this point. How can you let
lobbyists come in and testify in a in a Senate hearing? I no one
says anything about this. And meanwhile, we're just gonna get
soaked. completely soaked. I tell you going, Yeah, I got some
stuff from clapper too. But first I'd like to say in the
morning to you, John C. Dvorak.
In the morning, you Adam curry into the morning all the boots
in the ground and the feet in the air and the subs in the
water and the people out there and the Knights and Dames
Yes, and the URLs and the Dukes and the barons and
grand dukes and all the rest into the
Belgians and in the morning to human resources in the chat
room. No agenda stream.com no agenda chat.net always hanging
in there always happy to give us some free advice. And we
appreciate them as well as our artists. Joshua Pettigrew gave
us the artwork for episode 547. Great work. That was the crazy,
crazy Bashar Al Assad selling everything sale. Yeah, which was
a great piece of work, no agenda, our generator.com is
where we choose our artwork from we do it right after the show.
So it's tough for these artists, to anticipate, you know, to get
everything done on time is very, very challenging. And some and
we'll actually we'll try and wait 1015 minutes for any late
comers that come in. But we really do appreciate what you do
there. And of course, the way this program works is value for
value. We have no advertising, we have no sponsors. No one's
sponsoring the speakers room.
No one's buying the coffee.
who's sponsoring registration on today's podcast? John, why it's
north of Grumman and Raytheon. So we don't get any of that
goodness you can we don't have a form 990 We pay our taxes. We
don't need to, you know, to scam. Like the fact that it's a
nonprofit and bothers me too. Anyway, no, instead we have our
listeners or audience the real public radio model. Unlike the
underwriters or advertisers, whatever you want to call it
from NPR. And these are our producers. And just like
Hollywood, they get credits for the big names at the top for our
executive producers and Associate Executive producers.
And about three quarters way through the program. We thank
everybody else who does not wish to remain anonymous. So who is
our executive producer for today's program, John,

time donor megadose.
Rush Limbaugh thing. Very fun. Yeah,
I may think Adam is off in the weeds on a few things, trying to
explain too many things with an overarching conspiracy theory.
But what I appreciate and they love about Adam is what is Adam
and he is honestly trying to understand what is going on and
to do the right things. While being entertaining as hell and
JCD doesn't quite suck. You too are a hell of a team jingle me
Dr. Kiki Shut up already. Don't be a denier Italian Shut up

executive producers, we go on.
We do whatever you want. Sure.
I do. I do not want Adam to yell at me. No to ground out. We
don't wanna yell at anybody. Well, actually, you do once
I get notes from people who say don't be so mean to John.
Oh, I agree with that. Really?
Do you think I'm mean to you? Oh, two all the time. Really?
Oh, yeah. All the time. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's a fun other
complex thing
to round out knowledge perspective, please RSS or read
Insta pundit. From time to time I tweeted JCD a couple more
sites that are more or less on my side region of the political
cultural perspective. I don't think you you all are well get.
I think this is the guy who keeps telling us that global
warming is it's great. It's real. It's all caused by people
farting and cows. You could still reject it and all but from
the Greenwald thing, I think, you know, what's really out
there? We believe me we
we know, however, all we know, yeah, we really have no agenda.
We don't have an agenda. It's nice to be heard. So we
just want to know if we have to wear a coat or swimming trunks
in five years. That's what we care about.
Right? And whether we should be in Canada or Texas. Yeah. Nice
to be heard sometimes when you're just an ordinary schmuck
Saudi shouting out into the whirlwind. Lastly, reading
Amedy, Charlize, I can't pronounce her name. The
forgotten man might help illustrate how are we really
living ftrs joke of an economic policy best which wished
witches? Scott PS Could you put my daughter down for eight? We
got his daughter down for eight. Elizabeth Janelle also the
lovely Christina for October 3. Well, you're gonna have to
remind us on that. Yeah, let me see. September 26. Put him on to
Well, let me see. Eric's been pretty good at this. Let me say
we have.
Yeah, he's good. Well, he's asking a lot for us to remember.
I'm going to be congratulating everybody today. And you'll, and
you'll have to come back at us. When it's that time,
John White out of Jackson, Tennessee. 333 33 will be our
last executive producer for show 548 And Heil everybody. After
listening to your show for almost a year, I've come to
realize the truth. You guys have convinced me that the mainstream
media is in the bag for the government and everything they
say should be taken with a grain of salt. However, today it hit
me it's not CBS, CNN, Fox, et cetera, that are infiltrated by
government agencies like the CIA and the NSA. It's you guys. You
John and Adam, are secret government agencies broadcasting
brainwashing subliminal messages to literally dozens of Americans
every week, twice a week as a loyal American citizen in
addition to my abhorrently high taxes I am going to donate to
the show. I live I'm living the American bargain and the mac and
cheese life. Okay,
all we're doing is preparing you for the inevitable.
Mac and cheese.
Mac and cheese. Iran. It's all we're doing. Just getting you
ready for it.
You're ready. You're ready. Okay. What do we got here? John,
are are P S and P deaths media? Excuse me? Which is whatever
their motto? Books from Spring Texas right up the street from
you. And that's right. And finally, and his price and
Gabby's see what's called here. Yeah, it'd be something rather
yabbies gold rush. Yeah, Gabby's gold rush. He sent us a $200.
He'll be Associate Executive Producer along with RFPs. Which
send in a check and he sent in a check to with a little note. Oh,
John and Adam, I love how you mock media for being scripted,
fake and shallow. But how can the average slave slit like,
okay, how can the average so he's got his written and it's
funny. He writes in all caps, big giant letters, and they're
all kind of jammed together. How can the average slave like me
know what to watch and listen to besides the best podcast in the
universe? An example is the McLaughlin group. I used to
think it was spontaneous, but you say a script. No, you don't
say it's long script. I expect they would meet to go over.
Topics for the day, but scripted to me means they practice or
rehearse what everyone is going to say. Yes, I am hoping you'll
devote some time pointing us to places where the average person
can go to get semi objective stories. Well, I would say we
can do that. I think the News Hour on PBS is semi objective. I
think accuracy now is semi objective. I think
what if you want semi objective then you can go to no agenda
news network.com where we have all kinds of
those. He's looking at No, no, he's looking for entertainment.
No,
no agenda news. network.com. Nuff said. Entertainment right
there baby.
Anyway, he says, and this is a Gabby's Gold Rush tours. He says
if we're in the neighborhood, good for complement a gold rush
tour. So if anybody goes to Pine Grove look up, I think is the
Gabby's gold rush. towards.com is a beautiful country up there
and people should visit it was during the area and where's
that? This is in California? Yeah, it's up in the mountains
in the foothills, can you can you Panhandle are nice not
panning for gold is not pan hand.
Panic. Oh, sorry. Can you pan? I? I'm sorry, I
can pan right now. I think the show stinks today. No. All
right. That would be panning. Get it? To joke. See, that's how
we'd be here. I mean, he can be
I didn't say a single mean thing. Yeah,
no, you didn't have to you were mean with your silence. So those
are our executive producers Associate Executive Producer
show 548 When remind everybody go to vork.org/and A child of
art.com/n A, also the no agenda show.com has a button you can
hit and no agenda nation.com Also, yeah, we need help for the
next show. For sure
we do and we will be thanking our sacrif Six donors coming up
in the in Thank you second, everyone who wishes to be
mentioned and not remain anonymous. Please go to the only
place where you can really help us.org/n A you have one little
PR mentioned I have to say the Red Book rd BK dotnet. Is has
revamped once again. And looking good. This is a this is based on
our red book. This is this is a website RGB. Our DBK dotnet is
based on the no agenda red book and hanging out so here's a
prediction number six of so Hey, John watermelon Carrie will try
to run for president in 2016. So these are all predictions that
are in our books.
This is a very slick looking site Head Start. It's really
getting it's looking good. I like it. So I don't get the
points though.
What's the points?
I don't know. So she Olympic rainbows. During the Olympics,
many many major Western broadcasters will go out of
their way to show any naturally occurring rainbow that happens
during live during the games. The rain will go we'll be on the
front page of the news websites and social medias. Well, I don't
think we said that. But I liked the embellishment. Oh, it's a
magical rainbow for all the gays of Russia. Yes, that's very
nice. All right, thank you very much. Thank you to our executive
producers that are Associate Executive Producers these are
real credits. You can put them anywhere where credits are taken
as well not for food stamps, but you can certainly put it on your
LinkedIn page that's what Scott wanted to do. And it does
apparently get you a lot more traffic people are very
interested in what that is all about. And of course we would
like you to always continue to propagate our formula.
Our formula is this we go out hit people in the mouth
but I'll hold back on some of the C span stuff so we can mix
it up a bit. There was just so incredibly annoying to see all
of these douchebags and it started on the ninth of
September and it went all the way through the through
yesterday just session at C span had nothing but douchebags on.
You know, I was very disappointed in this week. We
didn't have our six week cycle event should have happened by
now.
We had some some things that could have turned into it but
didn't Yeah, that Boston
thing I think we're still suspicious. The airport drill
they do. They do a drill on September 11. And then they all
we didn't know
and we forgot what damn would be.
Yeah. And at the Boston Airport. Right. Okay. Well, this was
something was up with that
when they had the TSA guy at LAX, who left who like quit and
then wrote something on his face book. He was mad. And he had
something in his locker or, you know, it was all airport related
stuff, though. Yeah. Surprisingly,
I do want to do a little side clip here. All right, as we
know, people I am surprised this isn't getting more play
worldwide. But these floods in Colorado. Yeah, we've had this
very interesting because the Midwest at first it was up in
Calgary, three all the Canadians up there had some of the worst
floods in the history of Canada in Calgary and now within this
is a tire entire new system that's coming through also
sucking up a bunch of moisture from the tropics is just and
then in the low apparently just stops although the low pressure
system just seems seems to be stopped there so it's flooded.
central Colorado, a lot of the lot of these little towns is
picturesque little towns have been completely wiped out. And
here's an interesting little story. You should this is the
300 missing in Colorado and I have a punch line to this the
roads impassable they stayed in an elementary school that served
as a shelter where they heard a little boy cry, he just went
heard, I want to go home. Around 300 people remain unaccounted
for. But that could be due in part to the difficulty in
communication. And Jeff, there are more thunderstorms in the
forecast.
Which Sal is your thank you
to defer the difficulty and communications Hello.
So bad Chad, one of our producers who we stayed with
during the hot pockets tour, you know, he's a he's an EM his
thing em T, but firefighter type dude. Hero. So I've been in
contact with him because he's in Boulder. And he says, I've never
seen anything like this in my life. Unbelievable. What's going
on? He's, he's okay, his family's safe. But essentially,
you've got this river separating boulder you no one can get
across it. Communication although he's a but he's near
the the actual connectivity stuff is okay.
Well, here's what here's my punchline to this was if
everybody was a ham operator,
that was gonna be on the ham boards. This is It's funny when
you read these guys. Because they all they all want to
participate and do everything, you know, via protocol. And work
with the with the emergency services and the emergency
services. One no part of these guys. It's kind of sad. to I
would just be like, be my own thing. You know, I the hams
always get into this like, alright, we do everything
according to the EMS and the SR Menuett. Run and protocol and
talk and then what you say shut up, don't talk. I'm in control
the NIT. And then you know, nothing. I think nothing gets
accomplished. If you just have a bunch of hands, like, you know,
dude, let's do this. Let's just rock, you know, there will be
better.
Well, it would be better if there was at least some people
that could find out where the 300 were. Now if these If the
300 had little portable units, and you say hey, yeah, we're
already fine.
Yeah. All right. Well, that would be one way that they could
actually be helpful. Yeah, it's bad. And I find it it's almost,
you know, you almost would think that it's like a harp thing. The
way this is so concentrated in one area. If you look at the
surrounding areas, it's it's it could not be more night and day
difference. And I'm not sure if you looked at weather patterns.
Do you know how this is taking place? How this is happening?
what the deal is with this?
They talk about it quite a bit. But the one you want to listen
to is the girl on AlJazeera
Yeah. Nikki came came home
I can't quite remember what she said. But she explained it well.
Mickey came over just like show me this girl you guys are
talking about what's her name? windy.
Windy that's what you think her name was? Yes funny.
I hope her name was windy. She looks like a windy to me. Well,
I do have sad news to report John. Okay, very very sad. Do
you remember this? Play yearby Yeah. Do you remember this? Do
you recognize it? No, I don't remember listen carefully. Day
by day keeping him out in Afghanistan remember now? Oh
yeah guy. The rap and jehadi
Rap and jehadi nearly killed him time he'll be back. His own guys
killed him like milk dorm or the junk guys probably as dead as
his own guys killed them like Mukhtar Mukhtar
can't imagine the guy you know he's he had a $5 million bounty
on his head from the FBI imagine
his own guys kill him that's a sad day the day the music died
John
but there's a lot of really interesting al Qaeda Akata
related news going on al-zawahiri Of course is now the
top of his game and this is this outfit site si te and they
translate all the websites and you know this by itself I find
to be a sketchy organization but they are all there's a number of
them Yeah, but this site guys are the ones that the media all
they have to buy a subscription. So you know, once you're seeing
when you buy the subscription to site, you're always going to use
them as your official source. And so I was a wiry apparently
no longer doing video only audio no
surprise in many ways that I am and I was while we would release
an audio message close the anniversary of 911. The Al Qaeda
leaders always liked to try to do this. They know that this is
a time when they get attention and can get the message out
their audience and what he said this time is that al Qaeda
offered him should land a large strike on America. He said even
if it takes years of patience, he said that the boss and
bombing was an example of that. Interesting because in the past,
he's also talked about lone wolf and small type attacks and al
Qaeda sympathizers and supporters know what they should
do. But the thrust of his message here and quoting
directly from this audio message, not a video message and
audio message, quoting from it, he says we should bleed America
economically by provoking it to continue its massive expenditure
on its security, for the weak point of America is its economy,
which has already begun to stagger due to the military and
security expenditure. He is trying to target the economy by
terror attacks that will cause people to spend more money on
making sure they're safe.
So there's a couple of things here. One is there's a podcast
that we can subscribe to through iTunes that he's doing now. And
that is audio on disk, just throw up audio, because if it's
a podcast, that's kind of cool. And I'd like to know what as RSS
feed is the second. The second thing is that the coincidence of
this coming together with the jihadi terrorism threat
assessment document, which was released by the same day, the
same day by the National Security Program, Homeland
Security Project, the this is from the Bipartisan Policy
Center, another fine organization in Washington. But
this organization has Tom Kean, and Lee Hamilton. These names
you may remember as members of the 911 Commission, and they are
now promoting this new bipartisan policy center report
and you can only guess what is in it
as you so well outline the threat 12 years after 911 has
shifted. I must now recognize that individuals who are
radicalized on the internet, often inspired by al Qaeda,
jihadist message, pose a very serious concern in this country.
While these lone wolves might not be able to kill in roughs,
mass numbers has happened on 911. What has happened at Fort
Hood and Boston show that alienated people can do a lot of
damage. Hey,
can I be considered alienated John in any circumstances?
And online messaging online messaging can radicalize
really Dalia online messaging, you could be radicalized.
We also got another problem. More fiscal situation, this
country is far different than when it was a budget cutbacks
demand that we review exactly how we're spending our money and
Homeland Security. Is
this not exactly the message al-zawahiri was giving? John?
Is this what you were Where did you get all these douchebag
clips for one show? Because it all happens one. I see what you
said this earlier. There was a douchebag theme Yes.
Is C span had a meeting you were just got in a milieu this is
like ridiculous. No, this was every This is they had four
different things on C span. That all happened just before or just
after 911. And then you get and the whole thing is smaller
groups, lone wolf attacks. It's gonna cost a lot of money. Of
course, it's all about Oh my God. In fact, I'll now just jump
around now. This is clapper. If you really want to know what
it's about. And he had a he had a whole session himself.
So I'd like to touch briefly on Kisha I've been reading
newspapers lately.
Oh, hold on a second before you play this clip. I'm assuming
sensitives clapper they would have asked him why he lied to
Congress and why there was been no action taken.
Oh, John, John, John, John. John, I know you are just saying
this ingest. No, no, he has something for you to remember
three current subjects. Well, let
me just roll it back here.
So I like to touch briefly on case you haven't read the
newspapers lately on three in
case you haven't been reading the newspapers lately. Stupid
idiots here at the conference listening to me. Idiots
douchebag
subjects what I call the three S's
oh the three S's What could they be John?
Service simplicity and soup
sequestration Snowden and Syria
like yours better sequestration, Syria and Snowden and everyone's
laughing by the way they think it's funny.
In a sense, each lends itself to representing a piece of that of
this long term picture to
this guy clapper. Now I know I'm jumping around but he he is such
a dick. And he has he he lies continuously here he is on
Snowden.
So let me move on to the second S. Snowden just to make the
point, not a whistleblower.
Oh, really? Have we had a conviction? Have we had a court
date? Have we had a trial? But no, just I mean, he is just a
not just to make the point, not a whistleblower.
And as long as I am to,
as loathe, knows, as loathe as he is for what's happened
here, which is egregious, egregious, I think it's clear
that some of the conversations that this has generated some of
the debate is actually probably needed to happen. Perhaps that's
unfortunate. Didn't happen some time ago. But if there's a good
side of this, maybe that's it. Unfortunately, there is more of
this to come.
Oh, that's interesting. He is predicting that there's more of
this to come? What does he know that we don't know?
Well, since they supposedly don't know what Snowden took
interesting, isn't it?
I think he's just blowing smoke maybe.
And, of course, I, you know, in my position, obviously very
concerned about, you know, the impact on the not just NSA,
because this is an issue for the whole intelligence community,
it's not just not just NSA,
okay. So what they're doing is they're implementing something
they should have implemented along or changed a long time
ago, the IRT P A, which is, hold on, I wrote it down here. The
IRT P A, is the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention
Act of 2004, which is something that we, of course, we weren't
doing the show in 2004. So we kind of missed that one. But the
way they this is how you get clearance. And, of course, this
is not working too well for them. And they're going to
change this with another piece of fabulous software, which, of
course, you will see in your company soon, or
TPA, unfortunately, though, was silent, essentially, on what
happens after that on the periodic re investigations,
which is a system we use today, every five years. And we have
way more people who were out of scope with that than we should
have out of scope.
You in scope, or out of
scope. So we've got to change the system, fix it take
advantage of technology. So we're in a we are enabled to
evaluate people continuously, not just periodically.
Evaluate talking about while he's talking about evaluating
people continuously, which means spying on everything they do
through the following system.
So we're moving ahead, moving ahead with that. Longer term,
though, I think, something we've started called eyesight, the icy
IT enterprise, which had we had it installed and fully
operational. Today might have detected Snowden a lot earlier
than we did.
I saw I cite the IT enterprise. This is that bullcrap stuff that
someone sold him for a couple billion dollars that's going to
make movies of what everyone is doing. And you have to have a
whole room full of people looking at the people who are
looking at
tadpole. We've had a lot of IT guys tell us how this works.
I mean, certainly not on that scale. And the final thing I'll
play from this aihole is really the only thing that matters is
the money. And so he's he's going to take us through the
history of how, you know, all they took away all our budgets,
and everything was frozen. And then 911 happened. Beyond then,
of course, you know, we had to get to the the most important
thing, the most important thing, what could the most important
thing be he'll tell remember
where I was that day, not only the allowance, but the day after
that. And we were in a kind of a tough place. We needed to
reconstitute capabilities that had been cut in the 90s, you
know, sort of been through this movie before. When I served as
director dia in the early 90s. And then, of course, we had to
read the peace dividend occasioned by the demise of the
Soviet Union in the fall the wall. And so we essentially
reduced the Intelligence Committee by about 22 or 23%. A
mistake in the mid to late 90s. We closed stations overseas,
eliminated analytic offices, lost about a third of our all
source analysts, a quarter of our human collectors Almost all
of the virtually all the signal satellites down on orbit were
way past the end of their design life.
Somehow this doesn't ring true to me, the guy is saying that
everything shut down, we had nothing, we had no way to track
when we basically had tin cans and string. And then 911 Knaben
we didn't have much in the way of tracking and locating in our
inventory to search and find our attackers, when we certainly
weren't as connected as a community, and we neglected the,
you know, a lot of the basics like power space and cooling.
Ah, there it is. Power, space and cooling. Isn't that just the
facilities? That is the big thing, power space and cooling?
That is Utah? Oh, power space, because I looked it up if you
Google power, space cooling, that is the the three factors
that are the only three factors that count for data centers.
That's an interesting little catch. Isn't that nice? Yeah,
that was good. That's worth that price of admission to them. No
agenda show. That's right. I don't know what good it does
anybody.
It's one of those things, you got to pay attention to the
three S's the power, space and cooling. And then the thing that
that always annoys us that I we've never gotten an answer to
are our partners overseas. And we certainly have developed
capabilities to locate our adversaries to enable us to
reach into their sanctuaries, observe, collect and extract
their plans and intent. We found UVL
I've never understood why the intelligence community and other
elites say UBL when we all say OBL code, it has to be code. I
mean, did they get Osama bin Laden or Osama bin Laden? Is
that a different guy? How many we've we've asked this question
before and I've never gotten
a satisfactory No, no, he's never gotten a satisfactory
answers. I
always wonder is it Oussama they got they killed that guy maybe?
I don't know. Who's the oboe Osama. Than me that is the lying
director of Intel of National Intelligence.
Clapper. I didn't realize that he was the director of the DIA
for a while. Yeah, and
also something else called NEMA which is another another thing
I didn't know that did these guys are all in bed together and
they're all day one is our money and the
guy is an is an admitted liar. And he just just let him get
away with it just go ahead and talk about how we got no money
we need more money get rid of the sequestration so important.
And Syria is gonna cyber attack us is all bullshit.
Yes, Syria and there are 1000s of hackers they have because
they're also connected. Yeah. All right. So let's take a look
at Syria. i By the way, I spotted a new a new potential
superstar on CBS who want to get talk a little bit about at first
when I took one look at her I saw she's a she's a plant CBSC
CIA broadcasting she's but then she has a British accent and I
looked into her
oh no, mi 6am i Five.
I don't think so because I looked at her early work. Work
it was she wasn't she was a stand host on Sky. And she just
they made her look like she looks like they made it they did
cut her she had straggly old hair. She looked like crap. And
they gave her a pixie haircut. She's
gorgeous. And what's her name? Who
we are name is Holly Williams and you have to look up Holly
Williams broadcasts or Holly Williams site or CBS okay, I'm
looking for CBS otherwise you run into the country western
star. Yeah, the country deals the steals everything.
Um, she's got a she's gorgeous.
No, she's a witch that you haven't seen the last iteration
of her.
The upgraded version? You mean? Yeah.
They have really. gussied her up.
Okay, so CBS adds Holly Williams to correspondent ranks. Alright,
she's, she lives in Turkey. Yeah. Okay. All right. Okay,
good. So
we have an eye on her. She's gonna be a new show. Winner.
Do we have some some quick
clip from her? She did discuss it is what she sounds like on
the air. I was stunned when the British accent came out and I
had to do a little research.
For more on this agreement. And we want to bring in Holly
Williams in Istanbul, Turkey and also Elizabeth Palmer who is in
Damascus. Holly, I want to start with you. What is the opposition
reaction to this agreement? Well, Jeff,
the head of Syria's main armed opposition group general Salim
Idriss held a press conference here in Istanbul today, and he
rejected the framework agreed on by the US and Russia.
We think that the Russians and the Syrian regime are playing
games to waste time and to win time for the criminal regime in
Damascus.
General Idris also said that the opposition would not agree to a
ceasefire in order to allow international inspectors to
visit Syria's chemical weapons facilities.
I like her but is that British? That sounds almost Australian
really?
I actually don't know what it is.
Does she have a wiki page with her height?
She i Sorry. If you see some pictures of her on Sky, they
still are standing there. She can't be tall. Yeah, I think
she's like probably five six.
You see. Holly Williams,
but I think she's got she's she's so she presents herself so
well on CBS that I think she's got a future. Okay. So I'm
watching this stuff. I got to carry clip. I mean, carry it.
The more interesting thing to me is this carry heads to Paris
little thing I caught. I'm thinking he didn't realize why
Hillary was always going to Paris and why are they meeting
with the Saudis in Paris? When he's, you know, in the Middle
East? Well,
for the food and for the hairdresser's. That's what I'm
thinking, right.
Meanwhile, Margaret, Secretary Curie is not coming home now.
What's next for him?
Secretary Kerry will leave Geneva on Sunday he'll travel on
to Israel, then to Paris where he'll meet with the foreign
ministers of Saudi Arabia, the UK and France. This is about
keeping up international pressure on Russia to follow
through and on Assad to make good on this plan to hand over
his chemical weapons.
Margaret Brennan in Geneva. Thank
you. You see men in black right now, I'm looking at Carrie. And
you know, people have said Oh, Botox. I don't know. I think
that he's been possessed by one of these aliens. You know, the
one that's has shaped sway stretching his face. And it's
trying to it's trying to get out and it's what is wrong with the
man's face. If you look at his face from just a couple of years
ago, his his nose was pointy his chin was he looks
like here's the reference. That's a good one. He looks like
odo.
Yeah. Yeah.
I remember you. Yes. Is Deep Space Nine. Yeah.
But it's it's frightening. Yeah, he looks
terrible. His face is all it's consorted,
it's contorted. Not a no, it's not normal. You have to you have
to admit, it's not something very bad is going on there. I
think we deserve to know.
No, I think they keep these guys drugged. Maybe.
Maybe Marie Harf can tell us.
Do you have a clip?
I wish. I wish. No, I do have a clip of the president from his
show his his podcast. Big No. Yeah,
let's play that. And then I want to play this. This analysis of
Assad from a PBS course correspondent you know, when I
fill now has a shirt she does Washington Week, which used to
be called Washington Week and review. And so they've given her
this show. And so she's on two shows. Now she's the co host of
the NewsHour. And she's, and you know, she's, you know, she said,
she's a Bama bot. I think it's all a conflict of interest I
have or doing any of this stuff. But okay,
so here's the President's assessment of Assad from his
podcast this morning, which the numbers are up instead of the
usual 30 206,000 plus views today,
because I've said for weeks, the international community must
respond to this outrage. A dictator must not be allowed to
gas children in their beds with impunity. For children,
I love how he just writes that stuff.
He put that in our clip is right in his speech. Yes,
it's right in the podcast. I told you here's a dictator can't
gas children in their sleep,
pulleys, but they can guess when they're awake. Yeah, they can.
They can blow them up with missiles and stuff, but just
can't get some sleep. I know, in that it sounds so much
friendlier to do it when they're sleeping.
So here's this guy who was a kind of an interesting analysis
of aside, I love his description of Assad.
James, he wrote a really interesting profile
of him. He is I mean, he, he's someone who has been
underestimated, you know, since he came into power in 2000. He,
you know, he puts on this sort of Western suits, and he has
that mournful morticians gaze and people just think he's,
he's, you know, he can great hand and he keeps surprising
people and he's really, you know, a master propagandist.
He's very, very shrewd. And he's utterly cynical about this
process. And he's, I pored through a lot of his interviews
and he says things like, you know, we play a game with the
UN, but we don't take it seriously.
Let's listen really briefly to something he said to Charlie
Rose just a bit of that interview of this week.
When you have a doctor who can Have the leg to prevent the
patient from the gangrene. If you have to. We don't call him I
actually call him a doctor. Thank you for saving the lives.
When you have terrorism, you have all.
So his idea is they're terrorists. So that's what we're
doing so work. That's what we're killing. So we were aghast
at this. This is brilliant, shrewd circular logic that
started out as a youthful protest against you know, wow,
that's on PBS, she literally just editorialized to say, he
said, We're gassing terrorists, which he did not say, that's
crazy decades
of authoritarian rule by his family. He knows that the way to
hit him to hang on power is just sort of put this as a sectarian
war, that of his minority, Allah whites and the Christians and
the Druze lose, there'll be slaughtered, so he lets the
jihadist out of his own prison, he sends these thugs into Sunni
areas to rape and pillage and then puts it on YouTube, invite
the Hadees and then he gets a sectarian civil war. So this is
how true to you the word terrorist is all
is that before he has a dinner with John F. Kerry and Teresa
Heinz, and, or after he's driving around Damascus with
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, which goes after wheat? And the
guy's a dentist, with a lisp? Ah, wow. See, that's that's why
I'm so happy that on Thursday, we played a whole bunch of clips
from the interview because when you take stuff out of context,
it's so and this is PBS. This is supposed to be highbrow stuff.
Who is this guy who's the guy that's,
he's like, wanna see some some writer for one of the papers?
And he did a big profile of Assad and he found him to be the
sinister devil. And then he also smart when he discusses it,
because says it was circular logic. I don't know what he's
talking about. Is
that like, skip logic only and 360 degrees?
That's exactly what it is.
And congratulations, John, you were you nailed it. You nailed
it. I did. Yes. Vladimir Putin is New York Times op ed. Written
by Ketchum PR. Yeah, yeah. There you go. You nailed it before
anyone else was talking about this? You nailed it catch him
since 1996. has been a of course, they're part of Omnicom.
They have I think, a $26 million building with a $23 million in
fees and expenses for its Russian account, as well as 17
million for Gazprom, the state controlled energy giant. And so
they they helped write if not write the entire of Vladimir
Putin, Op Ed, as you correctly predicted. Good job. Thank you.
And while on that you sent me this.
I had an interesting conversation with one of the VPs
of another one of these agencies at the Edelman thing. Now this
is this was from Fleischmann and apparently that one of their
accounts is that that piece I wrote that you cited about where
I think the oldest guys should be voted out of office. And
they're a bunch of criminals, right? Apparently, they Weissman
has Huawei as one of their clients. And apparently one of
the big shots in Huawei thinks it was the greatest thing he's
ever read. Really? Yeah. So I said, Well, you know, they
should probably send in a donation.
But you sent me this thing, which I put in the show notes,
which is Edelman PR, the sounds. The sponsored content report.
Yeah. Isn't that cool?
Oh, my God. And actually, let's just since we're going to, this
is actually maybe a good time just talking about this for a
second. You have to see this. You'll find it in the show notes
at 548 dot na shownotes.com, under the heading Bogut of PR.
And let me just bring it up here. It's sponsored content
abroad relationship with the US news media, the first in a
series of special reports by Steve rebel. And we know Steve
rubella. He's been a blogger for 1000 years, hasn't he?
Yeah. And in fact, it was Steve, who personally sent me this
note. Really?
Did he know that we were going to ridicule him and his report?
I don't think he listens to the show.
Well, essentially, it's just example after example, of NBC
News, The Atlantic salon slate, all doing sponsored content.
Just your I mean, just one after another
the well why don't you explain to people what sponsored content
is specifically I don't think anybody really understands this
is going on or what it even means.
Well, you'll you'll have, for instance, here's USA Today or
it's I'm sorry, NBC, Today Show us well, this is a very simple
example. Five tips to destress your skin and it is essentially
a commercial for a product which will be the number two or the
number one tip.
And remember the time we play these clips constantly because
we spot these sponsored content things, and we ridicule them at
an individual basis. But if you remember the time the fox guys
are the five are all eating McDonald's.
Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. But not just that seemed raving about him.
CNN was eating the Taco Bell healthy salad. And that's pretty
blatant. But if you look at some of this stuff, and here's the
interesting thing. Google, and Matt Cutts is cited in this
article, haircuts. Google is trying to fight this. And it's
obvious why they want to fight it because Google needs to have
a piece of everything to see you can't like slip something into
your blog post. Google is actively trying to stop you from
from doing the sponsored content, because then it's not
part of their gig.
Right? They're not making any money. Why should they let it
go? Yeah,
well, that so they won't they penalize you for it, too. This
is all this whole, this whole internet advertising thing is a
Ponzi scheme is it's gonna come crashing down one day. And
they'll be like five guys making money.
Right, which is why we don't take part.
Well, not only that, but we would not be able to discuss the
things that we discuss and have our advertisers stick around or
not be harassed by audience members. That's why we have our
value for value model.
I'm gonna show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
be doing a remind people to look at that particular presentation
in the show notes. Because right,
it's a great thing to look at you. You will be flabbergasted
by some of the names of what you think are highbrow public
publications that are being outed here, Forbes. What else?
Do we have all of the Gawker Media properties, all of them?
And by the way, one sponsored content $5,000. Did you see
that? Yeah. If you have a whole campaign that runs for like a
month, it could be 100 grand.
Yeah. Yeah. This is the problem. This immediacy is completely
compromised. It's hopeless. Yeah. There you go. Anyway,
yeah, that's a great piece. Armando Martinez. Want to thank
a bunch of people in Canada, including Well, I'll start with
Ryan bemrose in Everett, Washington. $234. So Armando
Martinez $121.21. And he's also once wish himself a birthday.
Happy birthday. We've got him on the list. He's in Reno, some
Mako eon, Kath and West End Queensland. $100 revenue per
truck. 8888 and gross. I'll Michigan nice. I am Eric M.
80 334. In Cincinnati, Ohio. Frank pew in Tallahassee,
Florida. 75. And then we have our sit
on Hold on. Now, wait a minute, because you are going to see if
we couldn't
find I, I decided that I that is over. We had this is a new
streak.
It can't be if it's done. It's done. This can't be a streak.
No, no, this this
is the challenge to beat the old streak. I'll get the dates of
the old streak and then we'll calculate how many times in a
row somebody has to send in 6969. Okay. Now, what's weird is
that we have two donations from Michael Schumacher. And it's
possible
that one of those was the saving grace for Thursday, maybe. Okay,
that I'm you know, I think you need to do some work.
Anyway. So Michael Schumacher came with 269 69 days in a row,
and he blames himself for the streak disappearing because this
was supposed to come in earlier.
Oh, okay. So Posthumus was on off. Is that what you're saying?
I'm just I don't know. I'm just I don't I have no, I have no,
take it. I'll take it. I'll take it. I can't have the I can't
believe swells on off is done. You know, we need our 69 Karma.
Those of us who still performing the act.
Mack tank is in with 6969 he also is going to be a black
knight.
Oh. Oh, yes. I see. He has his accounting here. And I see him
on the list as a Black Knight lovely.
Michael great Greer.
No, no, he's going to be a Baronet. That's he's going
certainly he's gone. Yeah, he's going to Baronet. Okay, well,
you already was a black night.
Oh Mack tank and La Jolla. Michael Greer in Shrek shinny.
Mike him and he the he can't he's even jumped into swells
enough cannot be done.
As Kevin Thomas is smearing of Georgia.
I refuse to accept the rotating of the swells on off you
Edward Hines in Jacksonville, Florida. And Matthew Mongan 6969
from Maryland he says JC Did you mention weird date? Oh yeah.
Okay. All right, but it was a note to myself. Hold on
6969 All right, that's it.
I'm Matthew Mulligan's I one of the groups that sends in checks
they bundle them in a in one envelope and you get a whole
bunch of folders mostly credit unions right? His was in this
bundle. It was dated March of 2013. Everyone else has dated
September you know 10
That's that's that new Swift or something like that. That's I
don't I wanted to mention if
manga is still listening to the show that his bank is something
some stuff here. He
may not even be alive at this point. March.
I mean, come on. What is this? Read this? I got like a three
day. Is it good enough before it breaks the 180 day rule where
these checks don't get cannot be cashed. Anyway, Jeremy King 6666
is rolls 6666 He says he was a longtime Boehner. Get it? Yeah.

And We highly appreciate the sacks of sixes This is really
good. This is makes us feel good about our upcoming sixth
anniversary on October 23 28 27/24 24th.
Let me look it up.
Yeah, you should look it up six years of the best podcast in the
universe that we've been on the air we started back when I was
in London and stoned and and John was was not buying any of
it. And it was a buy what any of anything. I said anything.
No, it's not no agenda nation.com web page not
available. What it says. Really? Big Eric's offline. So I can't
look up the date.
Someone in the chat room knows what day it was. I'm sure no
agenda nation.com Hey, oops. Google Chrome could not connect
to no agenda. nation.com try reloading? Boy.
It's not gonna work. Well, let's go. I think you can do ARCA.
just jumped to the jump past the homepage. Um,
no, that sounds like they are sometimes not always like the
actual servers down somewhere. Yeah, well, someone in the chat
room once the delay catches up. We'll know. Anyway, so we have
our special donation level our sacks of sixes. And of course,
we have Scott with our who's our executive producer today, who
came in with a super sack of sixes. This is highly
appreciated. And we'd like to have your support again on
Thursday as we continue to watch C span so you don't have to We
parse all the bits, read the legislation and give you
analysis we're pretty sure you can't get anywhere else

notes at 548 dot na shownotes.com NPR has a new has
an interim chief as the the member the Gary Nell he left.
That was the guy who was in he was running Sesame Street. Yeah.
And now he's going to I think National Geographic. So he left
here's here's the headline kind of interesting, because it gives
you some insight into the money. So NPR, they they paid off his
salary, and he's leaving early. And they're also reducing their
staff by 10%. Because the budget for 2014 Get this. So this is
NPR? This is
Radio. This is the radio and this is the syndicate. Yes.
They have investment revenues. They call them operating and
investment revenues ie underwriters and sponsorships or
advertising Calaway. You want of $178 million. And this is how
they run their business expenses of $183 million.
What did they spend all this money on? Well, oh, that's why
they built a big building a big glass building and all their
equipment is new.
Yeah. Yeah, that's unbelievable. How can you not make money in
radio on $178 million a year? How can you not make money?
It's a mystery.
And this is not the member stations. This is just the
programming that they buy and syndicate out to the stations.
And they produce a few things, I'm sure. Yeah. But
yeah, so it's it's America you know, some of that they buy
stuff from American Public Media and all these these kinds of
deals.
Well, that's big dough. That's huge dough. Well, they should do
some sponsored shows, you know, have the Get a hold of rebel.
And content.
It was sponsored content, which I'm sure they already do. Come
on October 26 2007.
That was our first our first show
to show the all the numbers we threw out that we didn't hit the
26. No. We had 2328 2527.
Yeah. I don't even know what day it is today
is click on the computer. It's the 15th Yeah, the 50s the Ides
of September. All right. I'm gonna go here's a new here's a
little twist in the news. It's interesting. Okay. Do we have a
cycle of, you know, cycles or cycles or what they are? I
thought that this was and by the way, this is Juan Gonzalez. on
Democracy Now in the New York City elections. I could be
gammon as this guy says, ah, more than anyone ever. And it's
really unfortunate because he is a anchor of of a major
broadcast,
kind of The talking thing is something you want to have down
if you're an anchor.
Yes. And you're gonna be on the television, they're gonna be
looking at you and somebody like me is gonna be ringing bells. I
just did it.
So, so So this
is a story that I think we have to discuss just for a moment,
which is the Juan Gonzalez on New York city elections and what
is hap what is going to happen to New York? Hold
on one second. John. I seem to be missing a clip here. I have
Juan Gonzalez too. Was not interesting.
You don't have Juan Gonzalez on NYC elections. No. Should be
right next to it.
Well, it's not hold on a second. Maybe for some reason to get
downloaded.
Let me double check.
That's weird. I will set it up. It'll take You have 30 seconds
to find it
all right, it was so play Juan Gonzalez to and you kind of get
first of all the guy who's gonna win as a Democrat in New York
he's gonna win the mayor or when they run the run against the
Republican he's gonna get no votes. Apparently the the lead
Republican guy
sponsored by I have the original I have I have it now
I got the original guy was sponsored by the Koch brothers
got less votes as a Republican in New York than Anthony Weiner
did.
Alright, this is Juan Gonzalez on the New York City elections.
Well won the New York City primary just took place and
well, the results are still up in the air, at least in the
Democratic primary. And you've been writing about this in the
New York Daily News.
Yes, but I think the trend is by now pretty obvious. So what's
been happening is that I think that New York City is on the
cusp of electing perhaps its most progressive government in
the past 50 years that you have on the one hand, what's gotten
most of the attention is the mayoral race where Bill de
Blasio is now in the lead and most likely will be the
Democratic nominee. I think he just felt he's just over the 40%
threshold to in defeating the several other opponents Oh, my
God, most likely won't need this horrible.
I know I can't ring the bell. I know you wouldn't hear a word he
said.
Do you know what this is? This is because he's off script. And
when guys like this don't have a teleprompter or don't have a
script. This happens. And it's a it's a programming loop. It's
it's a problem. And her his co host and Amy there, she should
say something about it to him privately after the show. Hey,
why dude, I agree. Yeah, this is I mean, you and I do this all
the time. And we try and stop each other. And
I'm saved from doing something stupid saying so. Well, right,
this guy's going to the end.
And there's a whole nother minute of it
run off. But even if he falls below the 40% threshold, as they
count 50,000 or so absentee ballots, I think it's likely the
other democratic contenders will unite behind him. and de Blasio
really ran a very progressive race of focusing in on income
inequality. In New York City, the 47% of New Yorkers are at or
near the poverty level and talking about the need to rein
in the all the tax breaks to developers and the business
community and an increased taxes on the wealthy to pay for better
public education and expanded preschool.
So I can is there is a second clip like that as well.
I think there's a clip may be worse. Oh, no. Yes. A lot of
double us. Okay, so that's that's
how much you got to make a cup a couple million a year.
I easy's so here's the show. So New York City's going
progressive. This is after they had Giuliani and then Bloomberg
takes over the place and they just clean the town up. I'm
telling you. We're going right back to hookers. New York is
going to go back to the old days when Dinkins was running the
place. It's going to deteriorate like crazy. And I'm telling you
hookers are going to be everywhere in New York, now's
the time to get ready to start going.
And so you had in in Brooklyn, in the Bushwick and Williamsburg
area Antonio Cretton. Also, a young, progressive Latino beat
an old guard party boss fetal Lopez, who had been who ruled
central North Brooklyn for four years. And you had people like
the first Mexican American looks like it'll be in city council
Carlos Menchaca
just need to analyze this for a second. This all thing so
typically, these stop words are used when you are brain is
thinking about what you're going to say next. It feels like he's
worried someone is going to interrupt him. That's also when
people use these types of words when they want to keep the
conversation going. Keep the air politically the Hummers do.
Yeah, but this may be his version of a Hummer this could
be there you go a Gonzales Hummer,
maybe I'm not sure
I want to listen more for the hooker thing.
I hate him.
He never mentioned the hookers that's the thing I've got out of
it did the place is going to go back to old fashioned New York
Times Square is going to come back why
why would it be why why is why is that going to happen?
Because they're going to they're gonna first thing it's going to
happen is a lot of businesses are going to bail out because
they're gonna gouge the rich they're gonna get they're just
not that you when you work in New York. There's a city income
tax it It's taxed up the butt as they are going to take the
progressives every time they come into New York. They
liberalize everything. All you can't go you were asking those
poor working women that are just trying to make a living by being
hookers. So the hookers come back. The peep shows come back,
the mob gets involved because the labor unions are favored.
The police union you know, makes it easier for everyone more
corruption is going to New York does this it goes through these
cycles. And when the progressives no offense to you
progressive listeners, but when they get a hold of New York, it
just goes down the tubes fast. It gets dirty. People are peeing
in the streets. The old jokes come back, though hookers are
everywhere. I'm gonna hound on that point, apparently. And so
get ready because this is what you just wait, you're gonna get
no more of this this big daddy Bloomberg stuff. Anyway, that's
my red book prediction. Now.
You know, New York is already such a such an interesting place
or what it's become. You see this video? This guy? Who jacked
his EZ Pass? No. Okay, so apparently he presented this at
maybe DEF CON or something. So he jacked his EZ Pass to alert
him whenever his RFID was being read. Because it's cool. He's an
inversion of RFID.
The that's a great. Yeah, it is. Right. So
he has a video of him driving around New York. Like every four
minutes. This thing is going off. He's being you're being
read everywhere with your EZ Pass. They're tracking your
movement with your EZ Pass. And it's not just at the at the
bridge or the tunnel. It's throughout the whole city. Oh, I
didn't know
this. Yeah. Oh, that must have Okay, well, that's very easy to
solve. You buy some lead foil. Right. But you can get some good
lead. It's and you just take your past it and wrap it in the
in the in the foil until you need to use it.
I thought it was pretty interesting.
Is it Greg? You know, it doesn't surprise me.
It doesn't surprise me with a great couple of videos of him.
So he's
being so in other words, with your easy, and the easy passes
is different than your typical RFID? It's a little stronger the
circuits a little more sense. It has I
think it has a battery and a transmitter and stuff. No,
there's
no battery. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, it's all induction. It's
just a it's got a big powerful circuit, it's looking for
anything and it could be triggered it may be a lot of
false false positives because the thing is so so
if you look at the if you look at his video, and of course it's
in the show notes. He's you know, there's there's these
readers around town now he know what to look for there as like
little, almost like little mini handbags, and they're hanging
off of light poles. And the official response is, oh, no, we
use this for traffic flow and to see how things are working out
and, you know, stuff like that. But I would call it tracking. It
makes sense. I would call it just tracking. Slave tracking is
what I call it. Yeah, slave track slave tracking, which is
what your phone is your iPhone is a slave tracker, you can
get lead foil is the best bet unless you know how to make a
little Faraday cage which works best. But the lead foil was
fine. It's great. It's cheap, not aluminum foil, it's the lead
foil. And can you get lead foil would do the same thing. But
copper is too expensive. Lead coil is cheap, right?
On the big message. So big message, you know, that's the
that is the kind of peer to peer Bitcoin type of email system.
And we have that you can do channel so we have this no
agenda channel. And the no agenda channel is because of the
nature of it, it can be completely anonymous. But a lot
of producers who I think normally wouldn't maybe wouldn't
send something are now putting stuff on there. And this showed
up. This is regarding the the tea tip. And the of course, my
thesis about all of the Syria business really being about the
Trans Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between
the United States and the EU so that we can ship all of our gas
over there. This is happening with Asia at the same time. So
we can ship all of our guests over to Japan handy that Japan
is now shutting down all the all of their nuclear reactors. 30%
of their energy already was coming from a nuclear reactors
and other that'll increase for the gas that will be shipping
off to them. So here's what showed up on the big message
channel. I thought it was very interesting. This guy is
obviously a trader, as in trade or as in stocks and bonds. It
said trip. He says I wanted to check out Adams theory on Syria
and natural gas when I heard the show, the first thing I wanted
was how could I play this in the market? That's actually they do.
That's actually the first thing we wondered, like, how can we
play this in the market? So the first thing that came to mine
was the ticker U N G, which tracks the price of natural gas
through the use of futures contracts. Now, this is the
stuff that you always talk about John about the puts and the
calls and all this stuff. And so he, he went in, and he actually
posted some pictures. I'll just read the I don't even know
exactly what this means. But after I hang Adams theory, I
went to see if there was anything interesting showing up
in the option data for UMG. The first thing I checked is
something called the strike peg, are you familiar with this term?
John, the strike peg?
Well, the strike peg, I think, has to do with the point where
the, I think, the either breakeven point or something
like that not sure
the strike peg is calculated by taking all of the open interest
and determining what price the stock would need to be on
expiration day, in order for the most option contracts to expire
worthless. Right? The idea is that it's likely where the price
will land on that expiration. Okay, can you translate that to
normal Speak, speak,
it's the number it's the there's an estimated that, at some
point, the option expires, when it expires, there's a difference
between what the option is worth. And the amount of the
price of the of the stock is essentially you, if you're
gonna, if you're gonna buy, say you're selling at 20 is let's
make it a call. Because it's hard easier to deal with. It
would say you bet five bucks to buy 100 shares at $30 a share.
And stock has to be at 35 for you to make any money because
you because your five bucks is included. It has to get to $35.
And then you break even if it goes to 40 you make five bucks
on your buck investment or you doubled your money. And I mean,
that's why options are so interesting is because you can
make three, four or five extra your investment but if you if
you don't, if it comes in at 25 bucks, you lose everything, you
lose everything. Okay?
All right. So he went into this. And he says, and he has all
these, all these charts, and he says I found the action most
interesting in the January 2015 option. So I dug a little bit
deeper. Wow. 166,000 open interest standing out like a
sore thumb. Maybe that option is just crazy popular. Let me look
at an hourly chart. And he goes further. So I'm going to skip
ahead to his analysis. All of the action is for the January
2015 $17. Put. So that's betting on going down? Yeah, okay. Well,
we do not know is whether or not the major player was buying or
selling that's 160 6000s of these things,
right? This is a problem because you can sell Bitcoin, if you buy
a put, you can sell the put which is the same as buying,
there should be some certified and I you know the where it gets
complicated to me is where people are buying, buying and
selling puts buying and selling calls. And then they they push
them off against each other in such a way that whatever
happens, they make money. And that's really where the
superstars all reside.
Let me let me just finish reading what he writes here,
because this is very, this is very mind boggling stuff. But
this could be huge if we knew if let me continue. Okay, open
interest only tells you what contract is open. We also know
is that they did not buy the contracts and then sell to close
them. If that was happening, the open interest would decrease.
From experience, I can tell you that the major players do not
buy time, the major players in the market only sell time, which
leads me to believe that this was a massive contract selling
event. Here it comes the ideal scenario for someone selling
this much action would be that u and g would be well over $17
When the expiration comes due January 2015. If that happens,
the contracts they sold for $45 million in early August would
expire worthless, and they would simply keep that money. What
does this mean for you on GE stock? Well, not wise to simply
say that u and g is going to go up to forever from here. The
short term market is the traders domain so I would not advise
anyone to plow their money into d u and g. What it does mean is
that u and g is extremely likely to be more than $17 Come January
2015. I will be parking some of my
this guy this guy's obviously knows what he's talking about.
Seriously, but I don't know what at what level is it? I think if
you have a Bloomberg terminal, you can determine whether this
was a virus L.
Well, this I don't know. Well, right now it's okay. But right
now u and g is at 19. So that means it's going down.
I have I don't understand any No, no, I think no.
Can I make money is my question you're not gonna make.
Let's just do your job. Hey,
John, can I make some dough off of this?
You can go to the horse track. Yeah. Poor track. And though at
the horse tracks, by the way, you know, I know I can tell my
horse joke. Forget it. No. All right. Let's take a listen to
let's take just a small hit of the Iraq news. There's the Iraq
news.
New violence erupted today across Iraq and Afghanistan in
Bakula and northeast of Baghdad, a bomb exploded at a Sunni
mosque, killing 33 people and wounding at least 45 others. The
attack continued almost nonstop bloodshed that began in April,
the UN estimates more than 4000 Iraqis have died since then.
Well, there you have it. That's the you know, they're dying left
and right. And Iraq. Good work.
I thought was that war over if we withdrawn? I don't
understand.
Yeah, yeah. No, we're done that we're getting into with any of
it. Then there's the Afghanistan news. So when keep up with that,
Afghanistan news, okay.
And in Afghanistan, a US consulate came under Taliban
attack. It happened in the western city of Herat, which had
been considered one of the safer areas of the country. The
militants triggered multiple car bombs, touching off a firefight
with security forces. No Americans were hurt, but at
least four Afghans died and 17 people were wounded. Later, US
officials said that all consulate personnel have
temporarily been moved to Kabul.
And of course, it's just redundant. We've done such a
great job. I'm, you know, maybe we should go into Syria. We've
made a mess everywhere,
which is exactly what we want. And the President is scheduled
to go to Asia in October to go complete the deals. I think he's
doing a good job. Perfect. Yeah, we
got nothing to worry about. I think we're easy. So
we're on Easy Street. How was everything else looking for your
October demise of the markets? How's that looking?
Well, if they put Larry Summers in, then I suspect the worst
will happen. But we'll see. Because now they're starting to
push back on the guy. Yeah, he seems to be gonna ruin it for
everybody
seems to be almost begging to be a woman that they're looking at
putting in there.
Yeah, the I think the assistant to Bernanke or this second in
command and the Federal Reserve's, she's supposed to be
pretty talented. And she and she is as far as she's concerned.
She'll keep the printing presses going.
I was reading about the auto loans possibly being the next,
like, the next bust, that apparently these these auto
loans, which some of them are now in like 100 months or
whatever. And, and then they're also being securitized and
broken up into pieces. And I think auto loans and people are
buying more cars, aren't they?
Don't you mentioned there's an awful lot of good deals out
there and the lowest they give you no interest for 60 months
and no payments. Right, I guess.
But I think what happens is if your credit score go up, because
all APR which means it's adjustable, isn't it? Your your
your your rate?
Adjustable something? Yeah. What does APR stand for? It stands
for adjustable.
Those adjustable prime rate maybe the way I understand some
of these loans and I can't get one by the way, because they
won't give me what what do you do for a living podcasts are? No
sorry, that's not on our list. And then if you worked at
McDonald's, yeah, then we'll give you a loan. I think if your
FICA your this is your FICA your FISA, what are your score? Your
FICA FICA? Is that FICA? No Yeah, FICA is that score goes
down, then your interest rate goes up?
Yes, it's a scam. It's just a take our money,
right, but that the home see I have the note here. Just pay
cash for everything. More than 1.5 million cars sold in August.
That's a lot of cars, man.
pay cash for everything. By used Yep. podcasters can do that.
That's what I always say. Okay, there's some interesting things
happening in Quebec. And I got a nice note for one of our
producers up there. And I thought it would be worth having
a quick chat about it. This is about the new charter that they
want that the net Quebec I think is Don't they have like, what is
the deal with Quebec government? Are they separatist? Are they
there? They want to be different from from
that that's that's died off more or less. There's a bunch of
separate is still in Canada but generally speaking that's not
what the main thing is going on at the moment.
Okay, so here is the here's the issue, not as
long as Alberta is cranking out the money.
Right? Well, well, this is this is right. This is Quebec and the
here's the issue they're having they want to there's this
charter, I think they call it a charter. And the idea is to
prohibit the wearing of religious symbols, but this is
meant primarily for headscarves. Right, they had G that yes,
prevent that to be worn by anyone in a government position,
which also means I think the school teachers may say is that
are they government employees in Quebec? I thought, yeah, sure.
So one of our producers clipped actually quite a nice amount of,
of, of audio from, from what's going on up north? Let me see.
So here's a quick little intro. Think of the issue
today, the provincial government has released in broad strokes
what it intends a ban on public sector employees wearing overt
religious symbols, that would include the hijab, the Keepa,
the turban, and in some cases, the crucifix.
So here is the issue. I think it's all in the numbers.
We receive 55,000 immigrants a year, the eyeless level,
probably on Earth, and we brotherly accept them in our
nation, but they must integrate you change country, which in
country,
this is the core issue. And I think I can speak a little bit
to this having lived and actually grown up in Amsterdam.
And there was a quite a kind of a heated debate I had this
morning with Miss Mickey, we're talking about this. Because I
was asked her I said point blank, what do you what is your
feeling about the scarves that you see in Amsterdam, and she
says it really bothers her. And, and when you think about it at
face value, you know, it's just a piece of clothing, right?
Doesn't really mean all that much. But the real what I think
is interesting is that the conversation is about scarves
and crucifixes and other pieces of clothing but not really about
the true issue, which is this huge amount of immigrants coming
into countries. And I have seen this in the Netherlands I've
seen it in Belgium, of course, we know it's happening in
Scandinavia, and not just a lack of of integration, but almost
ghettoizing of of these cultures in certain spots within these in
these large western cities. Right and, and it's funny
because this producer, Devon, he has a very, I think, very
liberal stance on it. And I'm, you know, I'm like, I don't give
a crap. But first of all, I think that the scarves are sexy,
that's just my personal thing. But they represent something
else they represent the women are second class citizens in in
this culture. And he says, I don't know if you've got any
clips from anyone else in Quebec. I don't know. The only
reason I care is because my Anglophone daughter, I think is
a great term. By the way Anglophone? I hadn't heard it,
but it's that's the the big term they're using up there now,
which means you speak English. My Anglophone daughter went to a
francophone daycare. And the woman who became like a second
mother to her wears a headscarf, I am overjoyed, knowing that my
little girl will always look at a scarf with warmth and
affection, rather than fear and uncertainty. And like No, that's
a very liberal stance on this. And what I've seen is it's it
doesn't work very well. India now Amsterdam, the majority in
the city is Muslim, not integrated with the traditional
Dutch culture. I'll just call it that. And it's tension. It's a
powder keg. And you get really bad things that happen in these
countries and I don't know I mean, do you have any feeling on
this John with what this would mean for Quebec or in general?
Well, I don't like generally speaking as it's a statement to
me when you said you see it here in the United States you see
some woman who does not really in the it's not really even a
Muslim thing it is a it is a it was promoted by its Arab it's an
Arab concept the the headscarf because a woman is considered to
be chat shatel chattel, those, you know her
own slave. Okay, so far you're hitting all the positive
buttons. Yes.
And I consider it to be like a in your face statement because I
still remember this one guy who was I was discussing this on one
of the shed probably one of the PBS shows is a Sikh. And he had
a towel on his head. Do you know who this guy was young kid, he
moved to the United States, and he cut his hair off. Because
that's what seeks their hair is that they let it grow forever
and keep it in the turban. And he cut his hair off and his
father came over to visit and he chewed him out, chewed out the
son. And the son said, Look, I'm in a different culture, I'm this
is the way it's done here. I'm living here. Now I can't, I'm
not sticking to the old, you know, the old ways that we're
from, you know, parts of northern India. And it was like,
it's like, this tension between modern and traditional. And it's
like, when you wear the traditional stuff, you're,
you're thrown in into people's faces saying we don't we think
that it was the saying to me, you you and your culture suck.
And I'm gonna wear this because our old culture from this 1400s
is better than your new sucky culture. And I think that's an
insult to the to the public that it especially when you change
countries. Are they gonna change countries have I go and move to
Dubai? I wouldn't be let's say Saudi Arabia and everyone's and
I have to wear the dish dash these outfits or whatever they
let me or whatever, you know, or I I don't bitch and moan that I
can't get a beer. Right? I mean, oh, this is terrible. We had to
have protests in the street because they can't get a beer. I
you know, I would just adopt the customs of the country. I mean,
if I'm moving to it, and then when I leave, I go back to
whether or not doesn't make any difference, but if you go in
there and just be antagonistic, it doesn't seem like a positive
thing.
Right. But do you think that there should be laws against it
like in France and you there there are laws I mean, this is
it has been
this is another issue. I mean, this is the I think is part of
the problem instead of trying to just get people to you know,
convince them not to do this to make laws against I just think
exacerbates the problem. I don't know what to do about it.
Well, I was just curious I mean, this this is a hotbed we don't
we don't get to talk about Quebec often. And we certainly
don't have clips from from Quebec ever.
Yeah, no, I don't like the but then again, you know, it's I
it's just just too many elements is a big sociological issue that
is hard to either discuss or make sense of,
now we have this if you walk in Los Angeles if you're down
there, you know, past West Hollywood, you'll get all the
Hasidic Jews with their you know, the the curlicue hair and
the hats and everything which by the way, I think the hats are
cool too. But that doesn't seem to be a problem. Why? It seems
like an America this is not such an issue. Like can you whatever
you want to wear dude, fine. You know what I mean? Or is that
just my imagination Am I just
think we're pretty we're pretty open to letting people do their
own thing
Yeah. And but integrate is not like they're not they're not all
put into that they don't
that's because there's not enough of them.
Bring them on, bring
them we'll we'll get away some later.
Ah, there you go. That's a tip from no agenda, bring them in
and ghettoize him later. Perfect.
Here's a good story from California talking about the
liberals in California. Play the illegals get to licenses clip.
Oh God. Yes.
Governor Jerry Brown announced today that he will sign a bill
authorizing illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses.
California would be the 10th state to take that step. The
state assembly also passed a bill last night that allows
undocumented immigrants to become practicing lawyers.
I can't even become a lawyer.
This was I actually laughed out loud. That's great. Yeah, you're
an ill legal immigrant in California and you can get past
the bar
as what has great I can't wait a California where they also I
guess they're raising the minimum wage to $10 an hour now.
Yeah, yeah, that's not that's not gonna work out. Well. We're
just kind of left service the way I see it. Probably I think
we'd have just less less people doing stuff.
Well, that's what the argument is, is that you get the you have
to keep the minimum wage low to keep people I don't know why
people should be getting $10 an hour minimum anyway. Otherwise,
it's just a joke. What was the point?
Got some interesting report here from UT Arlington. Headline.
Youth more likely to be bullied at schools with anti bullying
programs.
Oh, there you go. If I didn't know I could be a bully
so the from the executive summary one possible reason for
this is that the students who are victimizing their peers have
learned the language from these anti bullying campaigns and
programs. This is this kind of goes to our whole thesis of if
you tell someone about the bad things in the medication they'll
want it more
yeah nine to
two they're learning the bullying language from the anti
bullying materials
well, you know the kids have to learn and by the way, I want to
mention something we have to dis a teaser for the Thursday show
tonight is Miss America.
Oh, that's right. And everyone's talking about this girl with the
tattoos as she
she's got a publicist says so some girls got a bunch of
tattoos on her side that are like it's got a credo I believe
it to be Hannah, by the way, but it's a bunch of and she's she's
a shooter and she's shoots a bow and arrow and she's actually
kind of looks white trashy to me. I don't think she has a shot
at even getting in the
top and I think her legs are a little short.
She doesn't she's not believe me. She's at the Miss America.
Diamond doesn't Miss America. She doesn't qualify. By the way
these
gentlemen this is what John does. I mean, I read this is
my I get to do this on a couple I get four times a year. This
they have these competitions and I will get clips. And that
should be some gyms. bitch and moan about the really the most
beautiful girl never wins. And it because she doesn't put out.
And I'll have some report back on Thursday short report. But
yeah, this woman has been getting a lot of publicity.
Nice is that, you know, she wasn't she was in? I think she
was in the armed forces. And she haunts and she
turns out she's in the National Guard or something. Well, that's
a National Guard. Okay, well, that's good enough. Good enough
for me.
She announced with a bow. And she showed good shot. And she's
got a bunch of tattoos on her side that say, I get to look her
up. But you could read it. It's kind of a what is it? Here it
is. Oh, where are you? This is the Teresa Teresa veils her
name. And she's your common thing. She's God grant me the
courage to change the things I can and
what standard she from.
Where is she from? I think she's from Missouri or someplace.
She's from the Midwest, I believe. That's a good question.
I should know Ms. Kansas was Kansas. Okay. She has a website
that's bullcrap. A blog that just started last December and
she blogs once a month. And she has
you went and looked at her blog.
I figured this would come up in the conversation. No. I find her
very annoying. And it did bother me that there was obviously a
publicity stunt going on here. And I was trying to track down
who might be behind it. But I think she just Purina boy.
Alright, so everyone's getting in on this. And we have a
question from our judge. Mr. Dvorak, your question for Miss
Kansas. Yeah, Miss Kansas do you put out
to put out sorry, the serenity to accept that this was on her.
This is her TED to God grant me the serenity to accept the
things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can and
the wisdom to know the difference. That's the Serenity
Prayer. Yeah, what's on the cyber on the side of her? Yeah.
So have her do maybe make her dinner. She can clearly
clearly you know, in this just I mean, this is this is just a
Trump operation. Is it not?
This Miss America? No, this is the Trump competitor. Oh, Miss
America is the original old
car. This is good. Because I mean, this, this girl will not
win. But she's made everyone aware of the competition. I
wouldn't have known about it otherwise, it's great. PR. This
is Yeah, but you're doing sponsored content, aren't you?
I'm getting paid $10,000 Okay, so anyway, so she's gonna be on
the show, and I'm sure she's gonna be interesting. And this
is tonight.
Yes, tonight tonight tonight.
But wait a minute. Tonight. We have breaking bad news.
Not me. Not me. I'm doing my job tonight.
You're you're working tonight.
I'm working tonight on this on a crummy competition. By the way.
Did you read that thing that came out in ASA spades about
Glenn Greenwald and a yes. Yeah, in fact, airily.
I put I put these in the show notes. Actually, this is in
regards to Glenn Greenwald, possibly writing the acceptance
speech for Snowden. And you go ahead, this is all dates back to
two. And then
apparently, if you go on one of the websites where there's a
bunch of comments on was something he's done, he
apparently is writing comments under a bunch of pseudonyms
while
he's well there was a there was a period in 2006, the so called
Greenwald saga But theory that, yes, you're right sock puppet,
Ben and he had magic boyfriends. It's kind of funny, because he
would write you basically there'll be comments on pieces
about him under different names like Allison. And there are some
other names that were used, but they would all come from his IP
address. And so he got basically nailed on this. And here's what
he wrote. A new accusation is that I've been engaging in so
called suck puppetry. By leaving comments in response to post
that attacked me under other names, I eat that I use multiple
names to comment and the same comment was left at several
blogs by the same IP address under different names. Not
frequently, I leave comments and blogs, which criticize or
respond to something I have written. I always in every
single instance, use my own name. When doing so. I have
never left a single comment at any other blog using any other
name than my own. At least not since I began blogging. IP
addresses signify the internet account one uses not any one
individual. Those in the same household have the same IP
address in response to the personal tax that had been
oozing forth these last couple of weeks. Others left comments
responding to them and correcting the factual
inaccuracies as have I in each case when I did I have used my
own name to this is his magic boyfriend's who are he has the
four or five of them in the house. And they might very well
might. But it kind of you can't overlook that. Part of him. i By
the way, I've done this myself.
No, yeah, of course. I think you're famous for doing it on
your own wiki page.
Well, that was different. I didn't I didn't say that. It
wasn't me. I just didn't register. I just went in and
changed stuff not knowing that you couldn't change your own
wiki page.
Which I think is the dumbest thing ever. What was that was
actually a piece on the newsroom. That was kind of
funny. They they slammed Wikipedia about that. No, that
was in 2005. But then I was accused of of changing history
to make myself look better. That was the part that was fucked up.
I'm like what?
Yeah, kidding me said to do with the invention of the podcast.
Yeah.
Like I changed it to, you know, like, I'm like, I'm Thomas
Edison trying to fuck Nikola Tesla,
or something.
AC That's
right. Who needs DC? Yeah, but I know I've I've certainly gone
into the Twitch chat room through a proxy under assumed
names and have been busted for it. Yeah,
they catch you real fast. Yeah,
those guys are good. Then they got Nazis
over this because of what you post. What? What do you mean? I
so easy to find you in there.
Are you on today?
Leo should be having sex with the woman. No, no,
I think I said when is Leo having sex? When are you? Are
you there today?
Yeah, I am. Oh, great. Because I will ask him about that.
No, don't I have the child?
Got it? Yeah, I got one of those 15 second commercials are good
for Burger King, I believe. And it came after a Cialis
commercial. And it just seemed like an odd, good combo. It was
a Cialis commercial and then a commercial where a woman says I
don't know why bill or Jim or whatever her partner's name
doesn't. Doesn't take me south of the equator is like a phrase.
And I'm thinking wait a minute. This is got sexual overtones
sounds like it. So play this and tell me what you think
you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision or if
you have any allergic reactions such as rash hives, swelling of
the lips, tongue or throat or difficulty breathing or
swallowing, stung, taking Cialis and get medical help right away.
Ask your doctor about Cialis for daily use and a 30 tablet free
trial.
Crispy white meat chicken with hot and spicy buffalo sauce. Did
you just take my tastebuds to the equator? Never takes me to
the equator. Try the new buffalo
chicken strip small combo meal just for 99 Burger King where
taste is king. I
said something else. He never takes me to the
equator. Just yeah, she says Rick never takes me to the
equator.
That's not quite the same as south of the border of the
equator is
exactly Rick always takes me south of the border. But you
know the voice is like ah, yeah, just sounds so sexy.
It's like a 15 second weird commercial. What is the point of
saying that Rick doesn't take her to the equator? It just
sounds like some innuendo. Somebody
slipped that went through. It's totally innuendo. Of course.
Yes.
Somebody slipped it through and nobody caught it.
I got an I did another one of those. I did a was it Kellogg's
audition? Oh no. Oh, I already sent it I'm not gonna do we hear
it? Do you want to hear it? Yeah All right.
Okay so set it up for ourselves who it's for
okay this is for Kellogg's master brand the master brand is
the company Kellogg Bran master brands that's that's a brand
they own Kellogg's yeah I have the I have the instruction on
this is so we can make money. Specs we are looking for a man
roughly around 30 years old. We want a very natural laid back
read his talent, this talent. This talent should not sound
like an announcer they always
say now and yeah, they always say that but then that's what
they buy. And then when you hear
the guy it's an announcer Adam curry Vox agency master brand
Kellogg you can hear I have a cold it's even worse. Every
morning in every corner of the world. The Golden Sun cracks the
horizon, unleashing in a brand new day. And as each of us
tourists from our slumber somewhere between half asleep
and half awake lies the question what will the day ahead bring?
Let be brimming with promise and optimism. That's why Kellogg's
is there. Every morning we rise with a bowl of delicious
sunshine filled possibilities, the goodness of grains to open
our minds warm our hearts and to help make every day a brighter
one. How gay is this cereal? Want to keep that we rise with
the sun every morning. And with Kellogg's. It's our chance to
shine now. All right, what are my chances of getting this gig
I liked I thought your read was quite good. There's a little by
little spotty spot in the early part. I thought you were
sounding too much like Adam curry. But the rest of it I
thought was slick. I would I would hire you.
That's appreciated. John.
We've hired you know you have been hired by the Dvorak
Horowitz unplugged show? Yes. The disclaimer. Yes,
I do the disclaimer and I've received nothing, not even a
stock tip. Me cheap acids. Oh, I
gotta give you a stock tip. Stay out of the market.
Yeah, thank you. I have an end of show clip for today. It's a
copy Lodge, done by one of our producers. Producer is Jim Sava
stuck. And he created a little little song Compilation by two
and a half minutes of Lady Hawks. It's titled lady Hawks.
So it's all the women in government who want to kill
people in Syria, more of these this is a good one. He said he
was inspired by producer Glenn who did that other nice medley.
So that will be our end of show clip. And we will return on
Thursday with another episode of the Best podcast in the
universe. Remember us at divorce act.org/and A. And we'll of
course have our Miss America. Report reports and and probably
some other stuff that's like really important, but maybe not
as important as that. You know, who knows coming to you from
Austin in the morning. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley. I'm John C. Dvorak
talked
again on Thursday right here on no agenda.
President Obama did not draw the rails on humanity. President
Trump we in the Senate? We did.
I have no doubt that chemical weapons
have been used. They unleash chaos and terror on a massive
scale
and can happen that Assad did it.
Every time chemical weapons are American.
There is no moral equivalence.
They unleashed hellish chaos.
This action happened that Assad did it.
We should agree that there are lines in this world that cannot
be crossed and limits on murderous behavior especially
with weapons of mass destruction.
Children to look at the children you can look at the adoption
more than 400 of them children. In response to Bashar Al Assad's
barbaric use of chemical weapons against the President Obama has
decided that it is in the national security interest
troops, the United States conducted limited military
strikes against
and I will support the targeted justice. Excuse me, excuse me,
the President of the United States channels allow this to go
unchecked cannot allow this to go on check.
any military action will be a meaningful time limited response
to deter the regime from using chemical weapons again.
