I think if I didn't quite say I think you've outed Tim Cook,
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. And Sunday June 29 2014. It's time
for your gizmo nation media assassination episode 630. This
is no agenda. Prepping might
go back for field day here and FEMA Region six of the dramas
high tide out in the capital of the drone Star State in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry.
I'm from Northern Silicon Valley where it's sunny and fine. It's
a beautiful day in the neighborhood. I'm John C.
Dvorak. Raglan Buzzkill.
Really, really, just because Google's not being friendly to
you gotta use your phone it in
and phoning it in. Hello,
Adam. Yes. Hello. Hello. I can hear? Yes, yes. Hello, what's
up? Are you phoning it in? Again?
I'm phoning it in.
I wonder where that originates from?
Tara is someone who phoned it in. It's supposed to be
somewhere and then they called instead. Where are ya? How can
we not hear?
So what's your problem today? Well, you were late. We're
starting late. It's not like you,
the Google, and that there's something going on? I think
either there's Comcast. But which is possible, but Google
just wouldn't take these clips. It says, yeah, yeah. It's funny.
I actually changed browsers. I went to Chrome. I said, try to
take these little more. It's not going to be anything but doing
priority. Oh, I
feel better now. It's a Chrome browser. I feel more
comfortable. It's more like a part of me. Yeah, well, that's
am I as a as the designated IT person and department, better
known as a dude named Ben here around the house. I sometimes to
have to catch myself, and realize that, yes, even the
Googles or the Facebook sometimes just don't work
properly. It's not always something else.
But I think there's something you mentioned that should be
reiterated, which was, Is it possible that the API released
that Google did for its
nail? Gmail API? Yeah. That could be screwing stuff up.
It could be bunch of guy who I mean, what's the first thing
that happens when an API is released? All the hackers in the
world go? Oh, whoa, you screw up the system. Yes. It's
called pounding the back end.
They're pounding the back end.
Dudes named Ben are counting the back. Please, I've got a rhyme
dude's name Ben pounding the back end.
There you have it.
This is this has been quite deserves in
in the morning and you're not given enough of those punches.
Well, I what I need to do is put a whole thing together. Because
first name may have been Ben. So a guy named Ben
a dude named Ben. Do Dave Ben.
We have a whole segment now. We got a whole segment later today.
Curiously,
his last name is Dover. Oh, please. dude named Ben.
Okay, here we are. It is Sunday the 29th. And today we have the
Netherlands playing Mexico.
Well, oh, well, they should be able to take the Mexicans down.
They're very worried about it. I can tell the Dutch are pretty
young. I can tell they're worried
Mexicans held the Brazilians who would then they hold them to do
a nil Nil. Nil nil. Yes, nil. No, not winning. Nothing is
exciting to me as a nil nil game.
What's interesting,
you pay you pay big money to go there. And the score is nil nil
as we find out that type. Of course we have. Is it now to
their 20 minutes into the game and it's nil nil, or you're
watching the game. I'm just clicked on this thing has given
me no I'm not watching it now because that would
tell so But now Now the New York Times all of a sudden is taking
our our theorem for predicting the winner of the World Cup. I'm
not getting a New York Times headline. Why you should root
for Nigeria or Brazil, Mexico or Ghana?
And a iterate our basic thesis. Yes. ever say that it's rigged
in favor of one of those countries?
Well, the basic principle is simple drawn from utilitarian
principles root for the outcome. So that will produce the largest
aggregate increase in happiness. This is exactly our you know the
it's the it's the basis of our theory. Yes. So this So Dean
Karlan says, I came up with a simple index calculated by
country's passion for soccer, multiplied by its average level
of poverty multiplied by its population. It's perhaps a bit
crude simply to multiply these factors by each other, but the
exercise highlight some important truths about the
world. Now of course, he does not mention the fact that this
is all rigged. But he does say you know, these are the
countries that you want to run with. Now, Nigeria, I think
Nigeria is not important anymore. We don't even care
about those girls. I mean, those girls came in went in one week
was that in Nigeria? Yeah, the Nigerian school girls, the Boko
Haram, I got all about J. So Michelle Obama and her husband.
Now Brazil is, is obviously top of the stack next to you has to
be the Brazilian has otherwise they'll burn down the country
and ruined Oh, stadiums. This is not even an issue here that
Brazilians are so mad about the all the money that is spent on
this. And then the Olympics,
something was pointed out to me that I don't watch this show.
Although, of course, I have in my life. The Simpsons did an
entire episode or the World Cup or not entirely. But you know,
one of the plots of this episode it was just, this was March 30.
So just a couple of weeks ago. And in this particular episode,
Homer is Homer is approached by the Football League to become a
referee so they can bribe him and he can help Brazil win the
World Cup. And, you know, The Simpsons had predicted weird
things in the past, you know, like 911 stuff, and there's all
kinds of theories around what the sim what the what the
creators of The Simpsons may or may not know about the
Illuminati. Here's the setup of this particular episode where
Homer is approached
Mr. Simpson, I am the Executive Vice President of the World
Football Federation. Whoa, what do you Americans called soccer?
I'm sure you are familiar with the World Cup, the quadrennial
drama unmatched on the planet.
Oh, yeah, that's the thing that goes into dry cleaners get so
excited about every four years
and afraid there has been an epidemic of referees being
bribed to throw games, from the Premier League to the
playgrounds all has been tainted. We need a symbol of
integrity like yourself
or Mr. Simpson, I am the new executive vice president of the
W F F. We need outside there's like you to come to the World
Cup as our guest and the ref our games properly.
So in typical Simpson fashion, Homer of course doesn't
understand the benefit of knowing who's going to win by by
him throwing the game. But it was nice about these types of
storylines it explains exactly what is really happened.
Will it be a German blitzkrieg or a Brazilian waxing?
By the way, there's our blitzkrieg meme, right there.
Nazis Nazi Havas. Guys.
Guys, you're both right. All right, just so there are no
misunderstandings. You make sure Brazil wins, and we give you $1
million.
If I bet it, I could double it, but on who
is going to win?
Thanks for telling me. We're gonna tape it.
Okay, so who do you think Brazil is playing in this final match?
Well, I would be I would think German. Yes, exactly. Yeah, I
think that's what's gonna happen. I
have to agree with you. Now, of course, the Simpsons. You know,
there's got to be a moral thing here. And so Lisa convinces
Homer the not to not to throw the game. And so here's the
outcome.
This matches take two dogs on a summer mourn. There's no score
at all. Even the slightest pebble could stop the landslide.
And Bebo goes down in the box. Will Hummer award a penalty kick
to presume?
Do it do it? Oh, the penalty
no penalty. The game plus two hours a funeral time is about to
conclude.
And with Germany the victor to kneel in an unprecedented
display of rectitude and stubbornness by one Homer
Simpson.
I've never seen the Brazilian so depressed.
So everything is in there. The Brazilians being depressed if
they don't win, but you know, of course, they won't be doing Oh,
they they'll be burning down the house. I think we take the
Simpsons prediction folded into our own theory and say two nil
for Brazil against Germany in the finals.
to nil to nil. Yeah, most
of the games have been, too one. In fact, there was a Yeah, but I
would say to one personally, I don't think they're gonna let
the Germans get away with no scores. I don't think the
Germans will put up with that. Play my my scores, soccer
update, high scores clip. Okay.
Neymar matching that tally for Brazil. There's also as well the
number of goals the sheer number of goals to take into
consideration 136 across the 48 games that's 2.83 per match.
They're really racking it up at 2.83 per match. That's a two to
one score.
I don't want to be as negative as you are about foosball, but
the foosball because I do enjoy watching the game. Do I also
understand the game you know how offsides works and you know,
there's strategy and
money. Yeah. And you know, it's so important that you really
keep track of that off sides because player goes on that
other side of that line and he's a huge advantage if they don't
stop him.
I enjoy watching the game.
I played soccer when I was a kid. I need to. I had to.
There's just one tough kid is a tough neighborhood. Oh, it's one
tough kid.
Yeah, San Francisco tough neighborhood. Well, which
suburbs in Oakland now all of a sudden, actually it
was it was out in the suburbs. Johnson control. So this one kid
he's running down a tree. This guy is Joe Arusha. He's a strong
little yo, Arusha.
There's a name for you. Everyone's Portuguese.
So this guy kicks this guy in. There's a coach Portuguese area
in Newark, California at the time was almost 90, but I didn't
know at the time. I always thought they were Latinos,
or Newark, California, in NorCal. Wow. Because Newark, New
Jersey is also a hellhole. Interestingly, no,
it's actually in Newark, California is a nice place.
Anyway, so the skid kicks the other kid and misses the ball
and kicks this kid in his thigh. And by the way, we're all on the
field. And we heard this the loudest snap. No. And he did
just break his leg by snapped out. No, he took a broken in two
places. He pushed a piece out from the middle. So it was
broken just below the knee and just above the ankle.
That's horrible.
And it was a noise that you never forget that. Oh, wow. I
felt bad about it. I had
childhood experiences like that. But it wasn't. We used to play
for some reason there was they were building new homes around
when he was first. I was like nine or 10 years old, we lived
in a village outside of Amsterdam. And it was small and
there was the bus service was once every two hours to get to
Amsterdam. So we had to kind of entertain ourselves and they
were building new homes. And for some reason we made two teams
and we thought it was a good idea to have a rock and shingle
throwing fight.
That's never a good idea.
No. And then when you when you hear the shingles, shingles and
the clay shingles,
you know what I mean? Yeah, yesterday, you throw them in
such a way that they're like frisbee
and flinch the longer I'll never forget the sound it made when
that thing hit his head on
the floor blood was just spread. And at that point it went on.
Well, this was a dumb game. What were we thinking? Someone could
get hurt. Stupid. anymore, right.
I think we're gonna be beaten up the zone roll. This is our
guard. I think this is our determination to
stay with it. Yes, Brazil, Germany, two, one, I'll go with
you on the two one, I think it would be kind of weird if it
was. If it was
to get to the finals and get shut out. I think they'll kneel
it'd be a funny ending. But I don't think they're going to put
up with that either. That's the way they see this game is such a
low scoring piece of crap game, that the no offense, there goes
to donations. But this is my opinion as an American, that
it's that they have to regular that most of the games would be
nil nil.
Now that's not true. That's not true. I've seen all kinds of you
know, you can have run away
dirty manage the Netherlands, Mexico nil nil. I'll keep this
on the screen. I'll report back when one of the two teams scores
it's really not a good idea. You're going to be distracted by
it.
No, it should all it is is just just a two zeros there. So
I want to do a really quick update on BitTorrent Sync
because I don't want to bore people who aren't interested.
But we did discover something. Okay, if you so this seems to be
like a little backdoor hidden way to make this work beyond the
50 Peer limit. If you know what this is about then forget it's
not interesting. But we feel it's the new the new version of
the new distribution of media for the future. If you go into
the folder that you've set up and you select Search DHT
network apparently it then will work beyond the all limitations
now there's two things about this one what is DHT I had to
look into this in detail a DHT is
it's a drug and
DMT
very good now
DHT is distributed hash table. This is actually when you look
into this stuff. This is fascinating. This is how all of
the Bitcoin stuff works but also Bitcoin and I ran into all kinds
of things for ru Have you ever heard of foru.com? No, it's It's
a distributed search. F ar o.com You should use this this thing
is amazing. Amazing. It's been because you know I'm a big fan
of all these different distributed peer to peer search
engines. This thing is good. And then I found this a peer to peer
distributed hash table. Twitter client called Twister is
Alissa's because a lot of going on. I didn't. So anyway, I'm
going on, nobody covers it. You know, why is it nobody's
covering this stuff?
There's no competition, no phones? No, there's no phone
attached to it. That's the problem. What's this search
engine? You say? Is it a phone? No. Anyway, so if you do that,
apparently, that starts to work for everybody. Of course, that
is not a anything we can really bet on because it's in there
now. And it's not even documented in the BitTorrent
Sync docs, which means it could also be removed at the drop of a
hat. So we can't bank on any of that, unfortunately, but this
distributed hash table, there's a future in there. And I was
just completely obliviously unaware to what I've heard of
it. But what it actually does, it's, it's fascinating. It
really is fascinating, no good. Ah,
there's a new phone coming out.
New phone, no, this new phone, look, it's got a nice feeling to
it, it feels really good. You can rub your hands across the
back. And it won't slip on the table wearables. And it's got an
eight megapixel camera with a zoom lens built in.
It has Google Now. That's the future Google Now.
Wow, I'm putting you on the bench. Now I get to do the
Presidential Proclamation came out agio A. And this is for
immediate release to take certain actions under the
African Growth and Opportunity Act and for other purposes, a
proclamation by the President of the United States say in
proclamation 8468 of December 23 2009, I determined that the
Republic of Madagascar was not making continual progress in
meeting the requirements described in Section 506. A
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's pursuant to
section five, I determined that I terminated the designation
Madagascar as a beneficiary Sub Saharan African country for the
purposes of this section. However, I'll skip ahead.
Pursuant I have determined that the Oh, hold on, I now by a
reauthorize the Madagascar and is now designated, again as a
beneficiary Sub Saharan African country. I always find these
things out interesting when it's not like the President was
sitting around thinking, Hey, how's that Madagascar? Do it?
Let me check on them? Huh? Oh, they seem to be doing better
now. I think I shall give them put them back in the African
Growth and Opportunity Act Fund, which means giving them money
and allowing money to flow there, but it's a part of the
same proclamation, the President says in order to reflect in the
HTS, beginning January 1 2015, the Kingdom of Swaziland shall
no longer be designated as a beneficiary, Sub Saharan African
country.
So they do to us
well, so what do you what do we do here at the no agenda show,
we go to faru.com. And we type in Madagascar? Oil. That's how
you that's the good way. It's always a good way to start. Long
Behold, seems to be going very well with the oil business in
Madagascar. There's lots of stories 30 434% increase in
revenues 188% increase in output. That seems to be going
very well with Madagascar. Madagascar is a very interesting
little, it's an island off the east coast of Africa. And
there's 22 million people there and they pretty much eat dirt
for a living. This is a beautiful place to put a drone
base and you can do a lot of stuff. Yeah, they've got 119
wells. That's Eagle Ford shale alone. Marathon Oil is drilling.
Everybody's in there. Everybody's in Madagascar.
Well, they'll all share the wealth with the locals.
And then of course, Yeah, hello, locals. I'm sorry. Here's some
dirt. Also, there's been some acquisitions in southern
Madagascar is block 3114. So this is not just because the
President was sitting around and someone said, hey, those
Madagascar regions, they're doing much better. But now
Swaziland Swaziland needs to be punished. And I end up of
course, I did Swaziland oil. And did I come up with anything new?
It has no no. Didn't come up with a huge array Swaziland,
China.
No, no, no, I found it. I think I found it. They need to be
punished. Because the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar scandal, or
Qatar has taken a new twist as Swaziland has been listed among
the countries in implicated in the matter. This is a this is a
very big deal. And it's popping open as we speak, because
Clinton was the guy who wanted to bring the 2022 World Cup to
United States. And, and of course, when Clinton gets out
corrupted gazumped, as it were, that's then you're doing pretty
good. And it turns out that Ben Hammond this is the this is kind
of the the spider in the web, he has been floating money to
everybody and, and all of these African countries also have a
vote in where the games go. And it as it turns out, the Kingdom
of Swaziland were intimately and intricately involved in the
corruption, which is now bursting wide open. So I think
they need first of all, we needed to have some distance
from Swaziland, and they need to be punished for not playing the
game as we like it.
Right where the guys are supposed to be corrupt for not
those is actually cat are cut or Ionis or
cutter. Cut are. Just it's always interesting. And I hope
that the the younger folks who will listen, folks, you know,
kids, you grow up and you read these things, you hear these
things, you and even I still have to stop myself and go wait
a minute, don't just blow past and think oh, yeah, whatever. Go
look and find out. This is where the internet is your friend.
It's always very interesting to see what what is behind these
types of things.
Yeah, you know, the funny yeah, well, first of all, you got to
recognize that you're being played all the time, all the
time, not a little at a time, not all the time. So I was
watching France than cat as I like to do and there was a thing
that cropped up on their little review of the web, about what's
going on in England, I guess some parts of is going on in
France and I because this has been in the news, you'll
recognize it when you play this as the internet. There's the
clip that's called overlook meme is worldwide. I didn't realize
that this was a worldwide something going on. Seems that
we have been we've been played it's been going on here but i i
especially in California and in some of these states, and I
didn't think it was part of any worldwide conspiracy. But
apparently it is and now I realize oh brother
pngase citizens UK and share action has started a campaign to
raise the minimum wage, stating is not enough to live on.
They're targeting Britain's largest private sector employer
in particular retailer Tesco, doctoring, its price tags in
stores to show eight pounds 80 Pence, the amount they feel it
should be paying employees. The movement has sparked much
commentary online under the living wage hashtag. Campaign is
indeed enjoying great success online. In addition to the
multitude of posts and messages, there's also an online petition
doing the rounds. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Hashtag. Yeah,
living wage. So this is not like some Oh, that's so cool. The
feds are looking into a better minimum wage for employees all
look, look, Massachusetts has just raised the minimum wage to
the highest now they make it in the United States. We do it
differently. We may get a competition. Oh, Massachusetts
has the highest minimum wage after they signed this. This
bill, we've got to be a higher one. So let's raise ours. But
the whole thing is part of a worldwide movement. And then a
large part of it seems to me because they kept naming was a
Tesco. The store chain there. This is like the you know, I
think maybe some of these ng NGOs have gotten a clue during
the off season, which is what it is for them. Because there's no
election, the offseason and what are we going to do to get some
money in here? Well, let's just do some extortion games.
There's I heard a term the other day Gong goes. Was it gone? NGOs
government organized Non Governmental Organization NGO
NGOs. Yeah, makes sense.
Yeah, it does make sense.
Human rights. Okay.
Well, that's an interesting I don't know what's behind the
meme. You said Well, hello. What I missed out was usually the
clip I had I never used that I missed out on I should have
picked it up then was when the head of the IMF What's your
name? Christine Lagarde brought it up in one of our meetings
just before she started to start start talking about global
warming she talked about the minimum wage needs to be raised
worldwide. Wait a minute,
how about the New World Order? Ah,
the New World minimum wage order.
No, it's not. Okay. Surprise surprise is that
now I'm not surprised but it's just wow, jeez, it was so
obvious. I should have picked it up right away. But it's like
everything is just to your point. Everything that is fed to
us over the news media is part of some giant setup. Take arm
Money In fact,
yeah, it is. It is. Yeah. Okay
yeah
okay and that's it that's basically the premise of our
show everybody yeah you got it by it's just a giant scam to
take our money
was also a giant scam going on to promote the in ways I've
never seen before to promote the World Cup in the United States
to get people interested in soccer now I'm not sure. Again
this is another one of those things you don't know why except
to benefit a few major league soccer teams the United States
that can't be making any money or just to keep the public more
distracted or because we have so many Latinos in the country
Yeah, to keep them busy. But this was the joke of the whole
thing. This is Marie Harf Yeah,
I saw I if this is about her outfit, then I know
this just actually I left it I took this out of democracy now.
So that outfit could be discussed by our democracy now
girl, we just set it up as what she was wearing, was that
explained that? It will say in here but but the setup to me is
she's wearing this idiotic USA sweatshirt. And I was looking at
going What is this? What What kind of a press conferences this
but it was so disrespectful because she was announcing the
death of this woman activist in Libya. And she was lamenting
her, you know how important she was to the turn over and from
Qaddafi into the modern era. And all this other stuff. Meanwhile,
she's wearing this joke
cost us a she should have had the big foam hand.
And then when, when or when, what sort of what's her name
from Democracy Now I'm Amy. Amy Goodman. When she comes out and
she describes her outfit. She never even calls her on this.
What I thought was tasteless appearance during a solemn
moment. But okay,
she was a courageous woman and a true Libyan patriot. She was an
advocate for political prisoners during the Qaddafi regime, an
organizer of demonstrations against the regime during the
February 17 2011 revolution, a political activist and an
original member of the Transitional National Council
after the uprising began. So while resigned in protest over
the absence of women's voices in the council, but continued to
play an active and powerful role supporting democracy, human
rights and the participation of women in Libyan politics until
she was murdered. On the day she and other Libyans went to the
polls to elect a new government.
The State Department Spokesperson Marie haar for a
USA sweatshirt during the press conference as the US team faced
Germany in the World Cup. The US lost zero to one but still
advance to the next round.
Thanks for the update, Amy.
Couple of things. What people don't realize the main reason
soccer is not a big sport in the United States. If there's no
breaks for commercials, there's this so it's up until the game
yeah, the only thing they have now of course, is the electronic
signs around the field which change continuously but you
know, that is still not the same as selling, you know, a $2
million Super Bowl spot. It's just not there. They didn't it's
just there's no halftime show. Listen, there's no cheers.
You don't think it has anything to do with the fact that the
game is to American tastes is extremely boring. No, no, no
movie?
No. And in fact, I disagree with you. I think a lot of Americans
really liked the game. I think they enjoy playing it is very
simple. It is unthinkable that every country in the world loves
this sport plays it actively has active leagues. We have it as
well, by the way. I mean, goes back to the man. We are in the
World Cup. I know but the Washington was at the nationals.
What was their team know,
back in the day a real fan.
I was
10 but it's been around because I remember Johan Cruyff was was
hired by the Washington DC team. And of course Beckham they all
the Dutch guys ran all the the LA time right. Okay,
fine. I'll take it. You're right. It's fantastic. But it's
only commercials. There's no ways and what but that week
we're engine ingenious. We can come up with some way to slip
commercials in. No, that was noticing and you can't actually
do that more interesting game. Even though they're going in a
circle. The NASCAR guys will have what's called a
competition. Yellow. I didn't know I've never heard of this
maybe this new I've gotten follow the sport for a while and
I never heard of this. But if the if the grace keeps going and
going and going and there's no racks and people have to change
their tires and get some gas, they can usually sneak into the
they'll sneak in and off the pits and then there's been
turned turned out then the guy sneaks in. It gets counted
against him when he makes a pit stop and when he gets back on
and then if they have a yellow that guy's got screwed The deal
so they now have these competition yellows where they
figure well, you know the guys look like they're probably
running out of gas. Let's just throw a yellow flag up. And I
think you could do the same thing with soccer.
Okay, so yeah, well we could try but but that that is I'm just
looking at the chat room it was like Curry's Brown, Brown direct
right on this one Americans don't like a barrel. No, believe
me. Americans will like anything as long as you can televise it.
We like the frickin Kardashians. Give me a break, we'll watch any
shit. Well, that's a point well take. It just has to be
commercialized in the right way. And because of the world nature
of football, it's you can't just change the game in America, that
would be bad things like the Japanese like they change
baseball
flopper falls, and then they have to stop the game. Yeah. And
then they kick him out a new designated flopper comes in,
they go, fine. That's the only cultural difference. And that's
why it's complicated. But that's just our culture. If it's not on
television and minds will not exist. If it's on television,
we're all in. That's the only difference
and do what they can do. Here's the other way. Here's another
solution. Again, I'll go back to NASCAR as my example. The grace
is going on Round Round Round Round. They're going around at
you know 200 miles an hour. And they they have it on Fox they
have it on ABC they have this this scattered around and then
they'll you'll be watching and then they just go right to
commercial hell with it. The race doesn't stop. Just keep
going around. And right. You can do the same thing with soccer. I
have an ad thing I have going on with soccer. It's a Neil Neil
game, I
have a better idea. I
just go to commercial and if something happens and show the
replay.
They fix this with tennis by just adding you know a zero to
the score. You hit one. It's not one. It's 10. Now, okay. 10.
Yeah, they fix that.
That's just for the scoring. But that's been traditionally the
way we fix it, John, come on, they didn't fix it. The way we
fix it is very simple. We need team mascots, and we need
cheerleaders
that would help a lot. Actually cheerleaders would benefit
soccer.
I'm telling you, that would be good. You know, and then when
the when the play is, what do you say five minutes into it?
And when the play is boring, then we just cue the
cheerleaders and you know, but then we're not going to be like
in the like the Tony Basil cheerleaders. Now these are
going to be hot porn babes. Yeah, we got to outdo the
champion. I
think we've discussed enough soccer. I do
want to say something about to Murray this from the same
conference, as she was asked a very tough question. And this is
this is kind of a double whammy. Because Carrie, watermelon head
secretary of state, I'm not wearing a helmet because it
might make me look non presidential. John F Kerry said
something very interesting. And he used a word that we have been
trying to remove from our vocabulary unless it is
warranted as in, it's actually the meaning of the word literal.
And he used this word and and he got called on it. Here's the
setup for this. President Kerry, Ukraine, I'm sorry, Secretary of
State Kerry,
Ukraine, we are in full agreement that it is critical
for Russia to show in the next hours, literally, that they're
moving to help disarm the separatists to encourage them to
disarm, to call on them to lay down their weapons and begin to
become part of a legitimate political process.
He said literally a few hours, which the way you should take it
is what what is gonna happen in a few hours. And there of
course, is already get the memo to the front lines in a few
hours. And there's our boy Matt from AP, who Zouaves asked Marie
Harf in her little band camp uniform what this is all about.
I'm
curious if you can extrapolate a little bit and elaborate a
little bit on his what he meant when he said that Russia has
hours literally hours to basically show goodwill to move
to the sign of separatists what ours is less than days clearly
what what exactly happens if they don't meet this hours.
A couple points on time in the week long ceasefire expires
tomorrow. So that's partly what was driving the secretary when
he was talking about timing. Also, the European Council is
meeting tomorrow to discuss among other things, say possible
additional sanctions against Russia. The Secretary wasn't
outlining specific timing for additional sanctions,
underscoring the need that this needs to happen quickly. Dancing
dance
around here and what's going on with the EU and Ukraine. There
was a good little report. This is just the opening part of the
report. The whole thing is a little too long for the show,
but play Ukraine in the EU so we know what's kind of crucial
screwing is going on that we're behind
Ukraine's Press. hadn't travelled to Belgium on Friday
to sign an historic free trade pact and political accord with
the European Union. It's that same agreement that former
leader Viktor Yanukovych had refused to sign in October,
sparking months of political and social unrest. On Friday,
similar accords were signed by Moldova and Georgia allowing
them access to economic integration with Western Europe
and access to the EU's 500 million citizens. After signing
the Kremlin warned of grave consequences.
It's a little surprise that Ukraine signed in and economic
associations agreements with the European Union on Friday has
irritated the Kremlin. And Moscow has warned of serious
consequences of this move. And that's not just a relations to
trade between Russia and Ukraine, but also to in
relations to the Ukrainian economy. And this has been
reflected in Russia state media, which has been reporting
throughout the day on economic downfalls of this move of this
association, reporting on how Ukraine's goods are not up to
the European standards and will not be able to compete with
European goods. But nonetheless, of course, for many Ukrainians,
this association means a step closer to their dream of one day
joining the European Union.
Yeah, this is a this is a what was not an unexpected move we
knew would happen the 27th was what it was slated for. But this
is of course, forming the block against Russia who are now
getting as close to China as possible actually have the Haiku
Herman's little statement of the signing if you want to hear the
glorification of it. Oh, yes.
I wholeheartedly welcome President Petro Poroshenko of
Ukraine.
It's gonna be so much more fun when hella Thorn Helens and
chicken Lin is doing this. Instead of Haiku Herman you
know, the selfie Bay,
I can get a miss the we're gonna miss the Haiku. Haiku Herman is
number one soccer fan by Minister
Irakli Garibashvili of Georgia, and Prime Minister, you're a
younger of the Republic of Moldova. We are here to sign the
Association agreements between European Union and each of your
countries. These are not just any other agreements, oh, no,
but milestone smiles in the history of our relations. And
for euros more like millstone in Kyiv. And elsewhere. People gave
their lives for this closer link to the European Union. We will
not forget them. I cannot conclude without referring to
the very difficult security challenges that Ukraine is
currently facing Well, nor to the uncertainty looming over
relations between the Russian Federation and Georgia. And
Moldova. My first message is the European Union stance by your
side today, more than ever before.
So this, of course, is because they they can't become members
of the EU. For there's a long waiting list and as all kinds of
rules and regulations. But the as they say Association
Agreement, which you would see association agreement, but the
Association Agreement is pretty much saying we will kill anyone
on your behalf, you will have our support.
That's that's the support is killing anyone on your back
support and solidarity
and our recognition of your territorial integrity. My second
message is that there is nothing in these agreements, nor in the
European Union's approach that might harm Russia in any way.
The Union stands ready to engage with Russia as much as need be
engaged, dispel misunderstandings, where they
may exist,
is that like Facebook engagement and
to chart together a safer future for our common continent.
Guys are on the verge of starting a war. Yeah.
wants a stable European continent that we all share
future generations in Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia will
remember this day,
God Yeah. Well, I
know one thing. Yeah. The hookers in Europe are gonna be a
lot better look.
Thank God about time. Now there's some there are a lot of
things happening and these of course, are all in the show
notes. Now, of course, most of this is about the gas. And it's
all about trade
during don't don't don't short sell the hookers.
I won't I look I've always said all wars about turf resources
and hookers. That's what it's always about. That's what war is
always fought over. So now we have this issue with Ukraine.
But of course, now we're talking Moldova there's all kinds of
pipelines are running everywhere. And the Russians are
about to cut off. Of course, it's very difficult. They want
to cut off the the pipeline gas supply through Ukraine, but at
the same time pay their bills. At the same time, they've been
working very hard on creating the South Stream pipeline, which
would go through the Caspian Sea, that a lot of it's already
in place. But Bulgaria was kind of in play about this. And the
European Union was the pipeline would go through Bulgaria, it'll
look at the map of people to understand what's going on here.
But here's what's funny. So Bulgaria first would Yeah, and
by the way, everyone showed up in Bulgaria, everyone did a
little visit there. Yeah, you're not really going to let that
pipeline go through here. Are you and Bulgaria is kind of like
Yeah, well, you know, we just might have to what happens all
of a sudden, cyber attack run on the bank. Bolgheri is under
complete attack of yours. Have you seen this?
Yeah. Yeah, what was behind that? Be the Chinese
who couldn't be so busy. I was like, oh, there's something that
banks are going out of business that people are sending text
messages around. It's complete terrorism. And it's very
obvious, Hey, you don't want to play ball. You know, you want to
let that potent thing go through here. You might have the cyber
attack or some run on your banks, which is exactly what's
happening.
Turkey number one, oh, by the way, is halftime nil nil.
Meanwhile, we'll just stay with the people who are screwing
people on our behalf. I got a one of our producers. sub seven
zero is his handle. He's in Damascus. And he sends me notes
all the time. And he says he wished he could donate by the
way but the everything's been cut off. They can't use Pay Pal.
They can't use Visa MasterCard. Like
he doesn't could happen here. By the way, it could happen
anywhere. Yeah, they just shut down the system and say hey,
good luck. Not go under. Yeah. Big luck with that. Go even with
the gold coins. Good luck with those gold coins and Bitcoin
will work well, though. That'd be fine. Sure, it will. But I
didn't I didn't know this. But Turkey has systematically been
blocking the Euphrates River stopping the flow. And Syria
depends for a large portion certainly the northern
territories on hydropower. And they've been they've been out of
power four hours a day up to six seven hours per day because the
Turks are turning off the water I have not heard this well gee
you figure it's under reported That's what I said to sub
seminarian Lake center report. No one talks about this. But
that that is that is an absolute violation of the even though I
think human rights you know, the the, how these are used and how
these are codified is bullcrap. And it's used to put our
thinking onto other nations. But this is a violation you can't
just stop the water. So Turkey has been doing this
systematically. I've got like four or five different stories
I've been able to find about this
water war Yankee cuts water supply to Syria, a new Turkish
aggression against Syria. Ankara suspend something. Water war,
Turkey cuts water supply, we get a water war seems to be the
meme. Water wolf boy. Oh, is it Water? Water? Water, water?
Water war? Yeah. We're the news. Water war.
Okay, we're doing the same to the poor in Detroit. If you
can't pay your water bill, he's cut you off. You don't need
water. Stupid slave. And there, of course, the United Nations is
all up in arms.
In Detroit. Yeah.
You haven't you haven't heard about this? No. Do you think
residents of Detroit Michigan who are $150 or two months past
due on their water bills are having their water shut off. Now
even the United Nations has stepped in saying Detroit is in
violation of the human rights to otter. Screw the Syrians.
Oh, this is another meme they're trying to start. Yep.
No, it's
human right to water. Human rights would tell that to the
people in Ethiopia. Human Right to Education, Human Right to
transportation. That'll be one of them. Oh, yeah.
So let's say with Iraq for a moment, then since we're kind of
in the region, and we can't beat this to death, but it's just
uncanny. All the things that have happened. The main thing,
of course, is that President Obama put in his request. This
is the $500 million for the fiscal year 2015 budget
amendments, wherein he requests the overseas contingency
operations which we know is about $80,000,000,000.05 which
will be going directly to the counterterrorism fund for the
partners. And of that 500 million has been requested per
immediately to train the appropriately vetted moderate
rebels. They couldn't come up with a better one.
Yeah, it is. I know, I heard this too. And I was thinking,
you know, this is like we I guess we were just monies
burning a hole in our pocket. We just gotta get it over there,
then maybe it's just a shut up McCain?
possibly. Possibly.
So, of course, I'm following the Institute for the Study of war.
And they seem to it's amazing how they do this. They have the
ISIS battle plan for Baghdad right there on their website.
They are they're probably designing the battle plan for
ISIS.
I think they they pre publish it. I added one of our clients.
If you go to ISIS map.no agenda notes.com ISIS map.no agenda
notes.com. You'll see the map and it's now clear the the
Emirate of ISIS or let's just call it Kurdistan is set it's
it's beautiful to watch this. You'll see that on this map ISIS
map.no generosa, calm you got it.
Yes. Good loading. Okay. Should I looking at it now?
Alright, so you see the ISIS control zones, which is kind of
the outline of Kurdistan and then the attack zones and the
support zones? This is the emirate. It's beautifully
outlined. And you know, and there the top is the bird the
border with Turkey. There's no There's no fighting going on
there. Because yeah, oh, no, there are buddies. And here it
is perfectly outlined. It goes all the way up to Aleppo, and
then up to the north. So we get to the port of se han. We can
get the get the oil out.
Yes, I gave this a nice looking little country. It's a beautiful
country,
Israel. Israel said, Where's this? Good had a great quote.
Israel says the disintegration in Iraq may lead to independent
Kurdish state. Really, this is this is exactly what it's
supposed to be. And this will be off the map. That's pretty soon
we won't be talking about this. But we you are correct. In your
assumption of the term Iraq, al Qaeda army. And the getting
ready for this was morning, Joe Mika Brzezinski, daughter of the
grand chessboard guy and he or she is talking about what has
happened
there in your reports, ISIS militants have joined forces
with al Qaeda extremist group potentially doubling their
number of forces that could be further pressure the Obama
administration to carry out airstrikes and then the White
House says can be without congressional approval Joining
us now
you go so merging ISIS merges with al Qaeda even said it right
down the lower third merging.
Ah, want to put that deal together? What kind of stock
options were going out to these guys?
You know, can we do like a, like the Hollywood stock exchange
that Max Keiser did we just do the al Qaeda Stock Exchange?
Just who's gonna go?
knocking at the door? Who's gonna get it? You guys don't
understand what we're trying to do? Yes, we
do. Yeah, we know we understand.
Government with us. Yeah.
So not much of a change, other than the money is now being
loosened. And it will be interesting to see who votes for
this for the overseas? What LCL where they call it? I don't
know. Now, the overseas overseas contingency operations, that I'm
presuming that everybody will be all in and say yeah, we got to
get that quick because you know, babies. They're recruiting
teens.
Right to recruiting kids. Kony June 2012. Yeah, exactly. Okay,
all right.
Um, I got some stuff here. That might be good.
There's plenty of stuff going alright, I'll do one. Just
because I gotta
I gotta segue one this is perfect cuz it's got no
connection. Anything else is a good way to make a break. I just
thought this was a funny commercial. This is a does
ambulance chaser commercial for something I not that familiar
with, but I've heard of it respire doll.
I think we've talked about this, haven't we?
Yeah, but we haven't talked about this for I don't think we
talked about I don't think it played this commercial when we
play now. Yeah,
have you or your son taking the anti psychotic drug Risperdal.
Recent discoveries have uncovered a possible link
between Risperdal and gynecomastia, the development of
breasts in men and adolescent If you develop friends after taking
Risperdal take action fast, you may be entitled to significant
compensation. Call our network of attorneys right now for a
free no risk evaluation of your claim. Many cases have already
been settled out of court. So call us right now. Call the
number on your screen today and get the relief you deserve. So I
think
the count they apparently the compensation is a garter belt
with a bunch of one stuck. Oh, yeah.
Really? Do you have riders now or how does that work? What is
Risperdal? What is it?
What is psychotic
and you can develop breasts? Apparently, that's
what will make you crazy.
Well, that fits right into that must be one of the new tools
that the police are using to determine the crazy people so we
can get to them before they go and shoot up schools and kill
people.
A troubled woman whose identity we've obscured is gently
escorted from her home. No handcuffs. A neighbor said the
woman had stopped taking her meds and she's been getting
worse.
This by the way the the meds mean is very disturbing to me.
That's bothers me too. And and it's always the word meds. I
don't realize this isn't this this stems from the same. The
same, I don't know. Force the same force that came up with
veggies. And you didn't eat your veggies? I didn't take your
meds.
I don't I saw like three year olds I have.
Because I know Miss Mickey is listening. And she says this all
the time. And I don't say anything about it because she's
Dutch. You know, she just I'm not gonna get in her face. I
know. She doesn't mean it that way. But I can't she said she's
gonna but what? You didn't tell me that. But she said she just
vitamins. You know? Like she's Oh, do you take your meds and
but it's a thing. Now. It's like a didn't we get a note from a
Mr. Big, big time meme? I think we got a note from a teacher a
while back who was talking about his class. He said at least 40%
of his classes on some form of antipsychotics or, or Adderall
or audio whatever, whatever ADHD medication, and the kids are all
in the class talking about it. Have you taken your meds yet,
man? Don't take my meds? No, it's it is yeah, it's like it's
dumbing it down to the level of veggies. I agree. So it's
probably on purpose. That's probably a marketing trigger for
fake
identity we've obscured as gently escorted from her home.
No handcuffs. A neighbor said the woman had stopped taking her
meds and she's been getting worse, tossing away all her
belongings, sitting outside naked and issuing threats, which
the neighbor said he didn't take all that seriously. But in
Tucson, the Pima County Sheriff's department's missed
unit. The mental health support team
now listen is the mental health support team, the missed unit,
we have something new
takes every threat seriously. And we're detectives like Maria
Stangl hear from any source that someone is on the verge of
violence.
It's truly a job right now for her not to commit suicide.
And now armed with everything known about a subject
like Dr. Meds a new again you hear that the meds
when Arizona law says the individual can be brought in
voluntarily to a mental health crisis response center
I'm not quite sure what that means that the someone can be
brought in voluntarily. A bit sounded a little bit she's in
handcuffs yet again. Play
play Blitz was dissected.
And remember you're hearing you're watching a segment about
a woman in Hancock,
Arizona law says the individual can be brought in voluntarily to
a mental health crisis response center.
I don't that sounded like it wasn't so voluntary the way he
said it.
No, in fact, but I think they're using misusing the word on
purpose. paranoid, delusional,
delusional, not undermanned.
I knew Arizona law says the individual can be brought in
voluntarily to a mental health crisis response.
I think they've read they're adjusting the word voluntary.
Yeah, no, seriously? Well, you gotta come in. Well, I don't
want to come in well, we're gonna take
over it's voluntary. It's violent, okay,
without a warrant or court order, visible evidence of
danger.
That I think is what voluntary means without a warrant? are we
preventing crime?
I think we are.
If they are, it's also because they roll with more information
than many of their counterparts elsewhere.
They roll roll.
That's like, that's another term I hate. And so I wrote and it
will play your role and you're walking, you're walking, you're
driving, you're rolling.
I can't remember where but I have a clip where that pops up
again, we'll formation
then many of their counterparts elsewhere. Like the deputies in
Santa Barbara, who didn't know about Elliot Rogers legal gun
purchases, and had not seen his alarming online postings. And
when they visited him at his mother's request, oh, two weeks
before his May rampage. They miss his true murderous
intentions, crisis violence here. They respond to hundreds
of mental health calls every month. The goal not arrest But
involuntary Mental Health First
Aid did he say voluntary or involuntary?
It was invalid
I agree I think he's this is what it's supposed to be is
involuntary voluntary mental health No, sorry. I'm back a
little bit more.
That would be more correct. I have
fallen sorry, say again.
That's what we should have said before. Involuntary you can be
taken in without a warrant involuntarily.
I just got a text from Mickey. I only say take your meds because
it's a jingle on your show. Dammit.
She's worked with you now. No, no fun for you tonight.
Love you darling prove
murderous intentions. Crisis signs here. They respond to
hundreds of mental health calls every month. The goal not arrest
but in voluntary Mental Health First Aid volunteer get a
troubled individual past the potential explosion point and
into treatment. We do know that we've intervened where
potentially there could be violent acts perpetrated violent
acts like the guns and explosives ambush a man
threatened against the police. This time the father had gotten
a court order the guns never went off. The sun remains an
outpatient treatment for new unprecedented data sharing by
every law enforcement and mental health stakeholder in Pima
County. That sounds groovy aims to make the next Jared laughter
far less likely to slip through the cracks.
Interesting. They went from Santa Barbara to Jared Lochner
in one fell swoop. Of course, this is
wasn't this see this is CBS. Mmm. Sounds like a CBS local, I
think it was my package. So that was a package somebody did
professionally. That's the local package.
Not too long, good package.
But I like the mix up of voluntary and involuntary
involuntary and involuntary meds that gone off her meds refuse
taking your meds. And these are
just telling you this mean refused to take the meds as been
cropping up a lot on the show. And I think it had does have to
do with forced medication. Yeah. Where they can give you shots or
whether we like it or not, usually a neck
held all in the neck. Yeah, that's already the here that's
called vaccinations. It's already a fact of life. You have
a kid now your kid is going to be vaccinated. This is no two
ways about it.
Well, there's a good reason for these vaccinations. Adam. Yeah,
to prevent worldwide pandemic, as shown on the new show. I
think it's ABC. Michael Bay's The Last Ship.
What is this? This is a program.
Yeah, this just came out. It's just I think premiere yesterday,
seven months ago. Play.
It will play the Yeah, this is I had to set it up. This is last
year. But this is the woman explaining why she's on this
ship. And all hell's breaking loose. And this guy again, we're
wondering why the Russians attacked the ship.
Seven months ago, outside Cairo, there was an outbreak of virus
of unknown origin. genetic structure was like nothing any
of us ever see,
why is this a movie script? What is this?
This is a TV show by Michael Bay. Okay,
it swept around the village.
It could have been a local news report. That's the way they
talked to me. No, that's what's so funny.
Everyone that infected Egyptian officials claimed the outbreak
was contained. But it wasn't. Instead it to mutate and spread
the CDC and the who wanted to sample the virus and the victims
to create a vaccine. But nothing worked. It was my belief that we
needed to find the primordial strain here in the Arctic birds.
They just the carriers. They pick up the virus from the
melting permafrost we finally found
melting permafrost
grounds so you have what you need to
know until we get it back to the lab. We're running out of time.
The virus back home is moving quicker than any of us could
have imagined. How would
you know that? We've been radio silence since we left Norfolk
because I have my own cell phone. Oh,
we were at EmCon. So no one would know our position.
We were at EmCon to protect my mission. Not yours.
Yeah, this isn't this is a meme that I have something for that
as well. I don't know you want to clip to
do which kind of wraps it up? Yeah, because it has a nice
punch line. But let me just mention a couple of things. One,
incorporated within the script is the implication that climate
warming has caused this problem. The melting permafrost your
search apparently is not perma. Also, you might as well slip in
the fact that Egypt lies Yeah, well da ujo is assume This is a
meme fest of a TV series. Yeah, but
I have some example of this for a another entertainment
property. What is the second clip?
It's Yes, it's play. This just plays it out.
Oh, just came from the White House.
Well, you let the Russians write to us. No, my entire crew, it
was
imperative that I stay in contact with the labs back home
to keep them informed of my progress. I don't think you
understand what we're talking about here. Enlighten me. When
we left Norfolk. The virus was at phase two. limited to small
clusters in Asia and Africa. We are now at phase six global
pandemic 80% of the world's population is infected. The Wild
is sick Captain Charla very sick.
Are you telling me the whole world is dying and they send to
people to save it?
It took weeks to convince the government even sent me here.
Most of my colleagues think that I'm insane, are you? I told you
that what's in that case? Might be the only hope that we have
with the president united states on the VidCon
on the VidCon VidCon. I got the president united states and a
VidCon.
Yeah. Okay, so we got a lot of stuff going on in this story.
And we had the one of the top action adventure directors ever
doing it. So it's going to be lively. And it'll be slipping
propaganda and like there's no tomorrow this is this is going
to be a horrible show.
Let me bring a another piece to this. This is and I'm going to
play it backwards actually. A couple of weeks ago, we had big
tornadoes in Nebraska. And I think there was no one was
killed. There may have been very low casualty count. But of
course there's always damage. And this video was circulating
the net of some storm chasers Swan and probably about a mile
and a half. Together See, getting big. Third one coming. I
am satisfied right here. This is beautiful, man, we're getting
pretty close. Second, that other tornado right into it. But look
how fast it moves. Slow until it got close. And they got sucked
into the rotation. So this was the double tornado. Now I'm
going to presume that this was reom that I read everywhere a
Reuters and other publications. Very rare to have double
tornado.
They have them every year and this triples. Well
enter the new movie coming out in a few weeks into the storm.
Here's a bit of the trailer I
leave you with Henry David Thoreau's words. Go confidently
in the direction of your dreams live the life you have imagined
here we go
that was close dude farm. All the warning signs for tornadoes
coming your way. You're not gonna know it. There's another
one. There's three, four.
Coincidence? I don't know, maybe it's just coincidence? I think
not. But of course, now this is unprecedented. They say these
double was never seen before. And then we get this trailer
where they're splitting hits three hits for
their breeding. They're breeding everywhere. And by the
way, whoever that was in the chat room, you don't need that,
you know, when we make a joke about vaccines, or, you know,
we've have done so much on the show about vaccines so much. We,
in fact, years ago, we uncovered that the pharmaceutical
companies from their financial documents and presentations,
were betting their entire pipeline their entire future on
vaccinations because they knew that they cannot be sued by the
by anyone under statutory law in the United States.
And that lot, once that law passed, they were all in that's
where you had all kinds of like them and they're calling
everything a vaccine. And the reason they call everything a
vaccine like the anti smoking vaccine, smoking is not a
disease. No, that's okay. So they have anti-smoker so that
you can't get sued for that either because it's a vaccine.
So then what I get is, I encourage Adam to see some
children who have autism. It's really fucked up. It's not fun.
Neither glibness has to stop now, please. Okay, lip,
somebody said the glibness has to stop. Yeah. Who the fuck does
that asshole think he is?
He's about to get kicked out of the chat room, that's for sure.
Yeah, exactly. I had to say, because it just made me a little
mad. Like, really? If anyone is not glib about this stuff. Yeah,
we got to make fun of things.
What do you want it when you're given the guy too much time?
You're right. You're right. You're right, right.
Ah, breath. Okay, much better. This is a big movie, though.
This is a big ass director who's done the big disaster movies.
And this is now that we've tried everything. And it just doesn't
get the traction. It's obvious that we now have to just put the
money into Hollywood. That's the only way people will really
believe it's going to happen.
I think that's what this book or this book that do it. Yes, yes.
And just like go
you know, again. And the genius of it is it allows the viewer to
put two and two together. Wrong answer but you put two and two
together because of this thing we want. Because you start
thinking of permafrost, permafrost, those permafrost and
that's where all that this horrible diseases come from,
because the birds guess cold weather birds, they go into the
permafrost and just dead they need a drink, I guess but they
get this virus and then they poop it over on to Egypt and the
Egyptians lie.
But think of the genius how they've been talking for years
now. Oh, they're throwing out the 19 Eight team, plague
victims bodies, they're throwing out the virus it could get
loose. This is all it's this by the way. If there is such a
thing as human rights is a gross violation of everyone's human
rights the way the entertainment business, which is the same as
the news business are terrorizing people terrorizing
you need to opt out you really do you just need to stop
watching. Go out and have some fun, which is what we tried to
do yesterday yesterday and today. The annual event of the
Amateur Radio Relay League John known as
feel the annual event Field Day field day
That's right. And on field day traditionally
was I can't get my little device to work
on field day traditionally we we go out we with our go bag. And
we yes we members of the ARL we and you're not allowed to have
any conventional means of power or communication. So no cell
phone, which is easy for me. I don't have one. And no, you can
only use a batteries, generators, solar. Anything that
that would work in a crisis has a lot of fun. And of course you
have minimal power. Although it's not actually all that fun
anymore, because now everyone's doing it as a big, big mess. big
mess of anyone a field day field day or you
go into the field. Yeah, understanding
that you actually go into field and we're gonna go to I mean
into field fields, Parks fields, nature streams, camping grounds,
backyards, maybe well, that's where I wound up. I'm doing my
field day in the backyard. Is Valid is valid. And if the
weather we we had gale force winds Yes. And like a field day
or not, we're not going when bought a washing machine. But
yeah, this of course, is where it is proof that the amateur
radio could one day save your life. Of course, this is now
being talked down upon as we are a bunch of nutcases there was
how's that work? Well,
if amateur radio enthusiasts are largely not nutcases? No, I
disagree. I think most of them are not nutcases. We're just
not. We're not your normal guys. You know, when someone's walking
around with, you know, vinyl jackets with emergency about
coders?
Well,
there's a lot of overlap. There's this guy who was
arrested in I want to say, Florida, and they called him the
doomsday prepper this poor schmuck had guns and you know,
whatever, he's collecting stuff, he's an archivist. And then I
guess someone and then you know, someone says, Oh, he wants to
kill kill police agents. This this little report, which I've
had for a couple of shows, includes a number of things. So
doomsday prepper, not just prepper but doomsday prepper
doomsday
prepper was the name of the show. On Corella,
okay, but net, but then. Oh, that's funny.
Okay. It was called Doomsday, right. Yeah. And it was all
these hardcore preppers. Right.
Well, that's apparently your nut job and you have to be arrested.
And there's also a strong F religion in here, which is also
a part I guess if you're a prepper than you're a religious
Kook. You believe the Earth is only 6000 years old and of
course your Republican to probably unanimously
they call it the worst week of their entire life. Let's see.
Well the world's may know Martin Winters is the doomsday prepper
his daughters just know his dad.
And that's not our father's a violent person.
And it's not just them saying it tonight more than 100 people
gathered to show their support. Amen, amen.
I love that. They gathered to show the report amen, amen crazy
religious people you see, you gotta be scared of them.
The man they know as Marty is simply misunderstood, think they
took the whole context of him being prepared and twisted it
they say they're dead never spoke about killing government
agents nor is he the leader of the river otter. preppers so we
asked why then would he run my
personal opinion is I believe when they approached him and
they had guns to his vehicle and his grandchildren were in there
he reacted and
now it's their turn that all they can do is pray and we just
pray back you're gonna be interested plead not guilty. I
love
it. All they can do is pray no, they have legal recourse. A lot
of things they can do but no, all they can do is pray in
court.
He's accused of making destructive devices without a
permit stockpiling weapons and threatening to kill government
agents.
Please all they can do is pray now to mention is an interesting
needless meme to throw out to people all you can do is pray in
other words you can't you can't you
have no recourse Yeah, you can't win you can't win against the
state your God is no good against the state that's it's
annoying very very annoying. Yeah,
it's very depressing. Because I'm only
you know, one destructive device away from being a doomsday
prepper whatever that is. Me could be a Roman candle for all
I know that this a lot of Roman candle
you just do you took a you take a razor blade and cut a Roman
Candle open and start doing some stuff with the GOP gobbly goo
inside and powder and your next thing you know you're in jail.
I'm sure that would be illegal. there so I get I get an oddball
clip here. So
we we take one minute Yeah, we
stood out didn't I play my audio?
Because I would like to. Just to say for a second here I would
like to say thank you for your courage and in the morning to
John C. Dvorak.
Well in the morning to you Adam curry in the morning all ships
at sea boots on the ground feed near suns in the water and all
the games and nights out there and in the
morning to everyone in the chat room. No agenda stream.com no
agenda chat.net Where there is now a a raging debate. You
should never be kicked out of the no agenda chat room freedom
of speech for all.
No you shouldn't be kicked out the chat.
And in the morning to all of our artists. Thank you 20 watt bulb
Kitson, again, with with the RT for episode six, two Niner this
was a good one.
We had this very good one a lot of people tweeted about it was
so good. I would say this that we're suspicious
that it may be someone else who's of Mr. Bobe. Yeah, coming
in under an assumed name. Yes, it doesn't really matter. I
mean, no, it
doesn't matter to me maybe once it'd be this new guy. But
there's we were suspicious because it's it's already you
don't shoot to the top like this without having some experience
and
well, what's interesting, I saw people saying I thought this was
the worst album art ever until I heard the show then it was the
best album art ever.
And this was what spot our does. It's supposed to enhance
Exactly.
This is the Ben's email backup floppy disk number 33. This is
just I mean that
was even if he didn't hear the show. It's a funny looking piece
of work because firstly may have been been a guy named Ben it
dude named Ben. Exactly.
dude named
Ben and
and coming up. Oh, we have several emails from dudes named
Ben. Regarding the actual the facts behind corporate email,
this will be good. Yeah, I think it's amazing. No, it's not
amazing. It is amazing. It's heartwarming to see all of the
IT admins checking in then giving us you know, their
personal experience. And we have them from large fortune 500
companies, government facilities, Pentagon all kinds
of stuff. And they're all named Ben. Funny enough. It's just
crazy how that works. Yes. Before we get to our first cash
donor, we need to thank
Sir John Rama
who is the who is our official
ham night
Am I right with his name here? Is this all right?
I don't have the note in front of me. Yeah.
He sent you your your icon ID 51.
Oh, no. Yeah, right. He's our ham guy. Yeah.
So he's on the list. For today,
right? Yes. For sending the device. Yeah. which
we still have to get it to work? Yeah, it's supposed
to be easy, but it seems to be as complex as everything else.
And again, you know, we I'm asking Adams walking me through
because he's got this thing with these things running and I'm so
I'm asking the dumb questions like, why is it do this? Why
doesn't do that? And he can't answer any of the dumb
questions. Well, like why isn't there an error message? Why
isn't there a simple error message? That would be fine? No,
I can't. That's the problem, it actually will double click on
certain things, you can single click seems to do it. It never
ceases
to confound me the politics of amateur radio. And there is
jihadism the stuff that and de estar is a whole new level of
just political jihadism, I'm telling you, it's, there's the
open source guys, there's the d plus guys, the X reflector,
guys, the the Raspberry Pi versus the it just goes on.
This is this is a fractal, of course of this sort of thing.
Wikipedia being one example. Where somebody gets the there is
someone who dogs certain pages, and they have RSS that comes to
them. When somebody goes this what happens when you try to
change a page of an important page and you change some piece
of information? Immediately, the guy who's the dog that's
constantly watching the page will get an RSS feed. Oh, no, it
can't be. That's not right. There's no verification of this,
they'll go in and change it back. And so the stuff gets
changed back and forth, and back and forth. And this happens, I
don't know who's doing the no agenda page. A lot of these
people are anonymous. What I remember the time was was
somebody's got a hair up their ass and decided this to take all
the information out of the off the page, you know about our
memes and some of the themes that we discussed and the rest
of it. And kind of a glossary of what we mean when we say certain
things. That was all gone. No, it was gone. If you remember,
this was like, I don't know, Ron show 200. I bitched about us. So
this is terrible. They've ruined the page, and the guy who was
back in a minute. So they do take criticism, you know, did
this kind of offhanded thing. But the same things with the ham
communities. That's why I think my complaining or or certain
kinds of, than you in particular, complain about
certain things like why would I if I can hit the repeater. But I
don't have the credentials to talk to the repeater? Why
doesn't the repeater send me a message telling? You do not have
the credentials to talk to me go register or go register? So go
register anything? Or why would the DT calm device or the Well,
I'll tell you why. It's for the same reason. Now I run my own
email server. So you know, and I'm watching the logs and
everything. And it's always it's fun. Once you set it up, it kind
of runs by itself. And I have to do some maintenance, but very,
very little. And just I don't really have to think about it.
But then the other day, someone sent me an email and said it
said I'm sending this from my Gmail account because when I
sent it to you, I got an error message saying mail denied go
away bad guy. It was happen to be a female who was sending me
this. And she really didn't understand it. So I you know, of
course now I'm looking in cool way bad. This is an actual
message. That is you put it in No, no, this is a part of the I
think it's the proc mail or send mail. I don't know which one, it
is a postfix I'm sorry, it's postfix. And when someone hits
your email server with a misconfigured email domain such
that they don't maybe they don't have a reverse DNS set up
properly. Something that yeah, there's always been an error it
is something that is there's a number of reasons you can get
this particular error. But the the message that the server
sends, which apparently is slipping through into the actual
rejection message is go a bad guy. And it's so unhelpful. This
is not if it said hey, you know, something's misconfigured
whoever's running email server, why don't you have him check
this? You know, you can't have a dot local as your, you know,
whatever. There's all kinds of little things. But this is very
typical. This is very typical of maybe it's, it's when it's open
source, open community, or whatever it is, people like to
do these little things that make no sense juvenile and makes no,
it's not helpful. And here I am a guy just trying, I'm trying to
be Ben. I'm just trying to make stuff work and you know, try and
be a part of the solution. And I have to fit in I have to go
googling what does this mean? And this is like, Go away. Go
away. Bad guy. And I know lots of dudes named Ben are smiling
because they know that they've all seen this error message. And
it's just not helpful.
Yeah, yeah. Well, that's the kind of glib, we don't need
exhausting a few people including at the top of the
list.
Another mission from the Juke of the USA Sir David Foley.
We got we got no one. We got two jingles since since there's been

John, I got a note from somebody No, no, no. Yes, I did open the
mailbag. Morgan and I detected some an abnormality. Now you're
a big microphone guy that we haven't really talked about this
on the show and the reason why is because I'm afraid to get you
started. John has an unhealthy obsession with microphones. This
is a new one today that he called me yesterday on the
Skype. I just have it wasn't even I had the my my regular
Skype on you call. It was very strange. I'm like, Hey, I'm
back. Hey, how does this make sound? Switching from cardioid
to whatever you want to direction on the road off 10 B.
I got her figure a with this dual capsule.
I have to say that I like the sound of this mic. I really do.
This is a good sound. But you have different mics and with
different characteristics. Do you recall on the last show? You
got a phone call? Yeah. And it was it was some bullcrap about
what was it about your lower your credit card payments,
right? It was Rachel or somebody calling right. So that's what
Elizabeth Warren was supposed to put a stop to. But good work,
Liz
to Morgan says, oh my goodness, listen, time code, two 2.04. And
this is right as you're hanging up the phone and coming back
from this phone call back to the to the program. And and I'm
talking and we had to do some actual CSI work on this. All
right. So to my analysis, and this is this is a pretty heavy
document and I had to Google a lot and I spent a lot of time on
it. Uh huh. Stop, rotate, enhance.
John, did you bring her in on the show? No, yes, you did? No.
Yes, you did. Are you kidding me? This is so clear that you
come on what is that?
I don't know. But it's not. John. Mike's not that good.
Yeah,
it is. I'm telling you. It's so
obvious. But I did. I don't remember it. But I'll just take
your word for it. Mr. Investigator.
Come on, man. There's nothing funnier than a good fart.
Yeah, like, what is that? It could have been anything making
that noise? Because you have no idea from here to the phone?
What's in between? Well, then we'll have I guess I haven't
upgraded my archival duties. And so it's like,
what is that? I'll take your word for it. If it's not,
you send me the whole clip, and I'll figure it out. doesn't even
sound like a fart.
Well, it's heavily processed. Obviously, hello. My good buddy,
Reverend Manning is back with an analysis and a new meme for us
regarding the Supreme Court, the United States cell phone search,
which he also of course, immediately identified this as
Bogota, meaning it only takes 15 minutes now for law enforcement
to obtain a warrant and meanwhile, they're putting your
cell phone in a Faraday bag. So you can't remote wipe it.
But the Supreme Court ruled on yesterday that the police
officers in the process of an arrest cannot search your cell
phone without a warrant, which is it would only delay the
process by half an hour because cop two police officers today
can actually text the judge. Tell them they've got you there.
And you gotta you got a phone they want to look at and the
judge in the middle of the night because then you would text back
and say he approves and bingo, boom. Shakalaka your phone, but
I like that. I think we need to incorporate that into our
vocabulary.
You should make this little little bitty clip. Bingo. Boom.
Shakalaka
way ahead of your buddy. Oh, fantastic. Bingo. Boom shaka
laka. This is great. Wait, you
just dropped at the end of anybody's clip?
Yeah, whatever it is.
Send me a copy.
Let me try this. You know, I know we can do this. We can try.
Okay, standby. Oh, this is gonna be good. We're doing we're doing
it on the fly for you. Ladies and gentlemen. Here we go.
I have two words for you. Bingo. Boom shaka laka. That's three,
but okay. Bingo, boom. Shakalaka. I love him. Very
funny.
Well, I love Joe Biden.
Oh, boy.
I got a clip. Now this is Joe at front of some veterans group or
something. And he makes a comment here that I challenge.
But it's Joe. And he's he and I don't know what his view of the
world is. But you know, right. Most recently, of course, he's
getting into a beef with Hillary about who's more poor. Yeah. And
it's a known fact that it has to be him. This guy is the only
probably the only person who's ever been in Congress and ever
took advantage of the situation. And he just, he'll It's just
like being in Congress.
People. The first thing I sat with him when I hired them, say,
look, here's the deal. If you ever have any problem at home,
no matter what it is, you don't have to tell me what it is, is
sometimes it's embarrassing. My child has a drug problem. I'm
taking the counselor. Vast majority of parents face that.
What the vast majority of parents have that What did he
say?
What he says? He says that? He I've got a problem. Joe, I got
to take the day off. My son's got a drug problem. I got to
take him to counseling. Yeah, the vast mud jority of parents
face that then which means that this means not just the
majority, not not 50%, which is the vast majority, the vast
majority mean 70 plus percent of the American public's kids are
on drugs stoned and on drugs and need to be taken to counseling,
I'll buy that.
I don't buy it in a million years. Now I don't I'm not going
to say that the vast majority of kids don't smoke dope, or they
don't do have a beer or do whatever they do whatever age
they are. I'm not going to argue that but they're not so bad off
and they're so wasted that they need to be taken to counseling
Oreos
are just as addictive as cocaine. Oh, man,
anything could happen.
It's bull crap. I think he must have must be his kids. There
must be a bunch of drugs. So anything I can say? I mean,
that's I wouldn't be I wouldn't go out in public and say that,
the more makes an assumption. My kids, my kids have never needed
counseling for drugs. None of them. No, and that's three.
You're above the average.
The more I'm in the vast minority.
The more I look at the field. The more I'm like in Joe, but I
would think you will be a pretty good president.
He is the dumbest of the
No, no. Yeah. Carries dumber. Oh, well, maybe.
But he's he's compassionate Aries himself as though he's not
dumb. I was a goofball.
I'm going to have to move over to your side of the camp for a
number of reasons on Pocahontas. Elizabeth Warren. So this is a
something that has really tipped very, very drastically with the
the Hillary love. Actually, as it was the what is this? The
National Review, wrote a very, very good piece, saying,
Elizabeth Warren is the Obama of 2016.
Well, this is one of the things that came up in a conversation
with a guy who wrote blood feud, the Obamas versus the Clintons.
And he believes that Obama is the one promoting this because
apparently in meetings with his, with his close councils and
aides, he says he wants a mini me. Yeah, that was be his words,
a mini me to run for president mini me doesn't mean a small
black man. What it means is someone that came in out of the
blue at the last minute and charged Hillary and knocked her
off their pedestal right. And I got a couple of interesting
little clips about this. And I think a lot of it stems from
this particular one. I think this would be clip God, but
didn't lose the clip. I've got to try try Obama Clinton to Oh,
okay.
You got it. animosity was the fact that Obama reneged on this
file that I just mentioned between them.
He's just the author. Klein is that
fine. Okay, Obama clip one. I guess I didn't know this. I
don't have an Obama clip one. Yeah. Well, that's the problem.
Let me tell you what the Obama clip one says, I'll just
reiterate. And then you can play clip two, which refers to Obama
clip one. He says that, and I believe this to be a true story.
He says that before the 20 was 2020 12 presidential reelection
campaign, Obama and Clinton were playing golf, which is quite
likely, right. And Clinton wasn't a big supporter of his
bill clinton we're talking about, and he says he will do a
deal. The deal is I will give a rousing speech which he did at
the 2012 convention, promoting you to be you know, just to give
you a big boost and make the public we associate you with me
and all the rest of it. In exchange for you let you
supporting supporting Hillary in 2016. Robot says, Yep, no
problem. That's a deal. Yeah. And then shortly thereafter,
like within the last year or so, Bill asked him about his support
for Hillary because he's not noticing any. And he says, I
don't know who I'm going to support. So that's what the
second clip refers to. Now, I want you to play a second clip.
And then I have an anecdote which I think may shed light on
this animosity was the fact that Obama reneged on this file that
I just mentioned between them. And since then, we have seen
Clinton and Obama go at each other in various ways. For
instance, recently, Bill Clinton said that Obamacare was a flawed
law from a Democrat, that's a big deal and needed to be fixed,
and that the best person who could fix it naturally was his
wife, Hillary Clinton, and Hillary has said that the IRS
scandal is a scandal. Of course, the White House didn't like to
hear at all so the Clintons are beginning to put space between
themselves and Obama.
Hmm. Now, if you remember, and we did this on the show, I think
it was last year when they were having the economic meltdown,
we're gonna go the fiscal cliff just know, that's actually
longer than a year ago, the fiscal cliff, we're gonna follow
the fiscal cliff. And so they're trying to do emergency budgets
and all this stuff. And there was a front line that was done
on this specific deal made between Obama and Boehner to
stop the nonsense and put it into it. And Obama reneged on it
that thought it
would have at least been nice for President Obama to say,
well, you know, I'm kind of leaning towards Hillary Clinton
in 2016. He has not gone that far. I don't expect him ever to.
Is that possible? Is that feeling a little bit of the
hostility there as well?
Well, you know, Bill, and Obama struck a deal at a during a golf
game in 2011. In the fall of 2011, in which Bill promised
Bill Clinton promised to back Obama, if in return, Obama would
come out for Hillary in 2016. And that was a deal they made
and Bill was made good on the deal he make gave that speech
that we all remember at the Democratic National Convention,
right, right, in August 2012. And then after he got elected,
Barack Obama in typical fashion, I must say, reneged on the deal,
and said to Clinton, I'm told by several sources. I'm not so sure
who I'm going to support in 2016.
Cool, interesting.
This, of course, let me kind of just sit back because you said
this guy, obviously, of this book, and everything is just,
you know, may not even be true. It's obviously it's an entire
play by the contents.
Yeah. Yeah. It's a hit job, Clint. Yeah. Although he
shouldn't be supporting her in some funny way. Anyway, so. So
this was on frontline he that he did the exact same thing with
Boehner, which is the delegated, you know, yeah, yeah. Done deal.
And so I was thinking about now he's done this a couple of
times. And this is kind of a style of his. And then I
remember when I was in Jakarta. Now Obama was raised by it was
raised in Indonesia in extremely formative years, first grade to
fifth grade. Can you give a lot style a second, hold
on a second? Say that again, about Jakarta.
Jakarta. So I've given his talk in Jakarta and they're treating
me with the Royal just royally. And they give me
give me a frame this timing was the gate
was this was I don't know was like it was a few years ago, or
whatever the point was, is that they put me up with this really
expensive hotel, they did all these things. And then I but I
need to get to the airport. So I started pestering, the woman
that ran the whole thing was bought gotta get to the airport
on the way back because I believe the next day, or No, I
believe on a Sunday, and I suggest you show I got a car
lined up for you. And I said, Oh, okay, you. So there's a car
and it's gonna pick me up on Sunday. For some reason, right
from the beginning. I didn't believe her. And so I kept
pestering everybody in the company that does a car coming.
There's a car come, yeah, there's a car coming. This would
be a limo coming to pick you up the limo never arrived, I had to
get a taxi from this rather expensive place. And go and I
got to the it didn't bother me because I got there. But I wrote
the mask and what happened? What went wrong? I never heard from
the anybody. They never wrote back or anything. And so I was I
always thought this was very peculiar until I talked to a
friend of mine who spent a lot of time living in the
Philippines. And he says that these cultures over there, they
want to please you by saying yes to everything. Oh, yeah, you're
gonna do this, we're going to do that. And then they don't want
to talk to you after that, because they they're going to
renege on those deals. I believe Obama picked this up from the
Indonesian culture. It's like you say, Okay, I'm on the golf
course. I'm stuck on a boat. I'm stuck in a golf course with
Bill. He wants me to do this. And you know, Bill's pushy. And
say yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, you can do
that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'll support Hillary. Yeah, yes, get
the game over. And that's the end of it. I think that this is
a cultural thing that he picked up by being raised from his
formative years and the first of the fifth grade in Indonesia.
It's interesting End of story.
Let's go back to miss Mickey, who lived in Nagasaki for five
years. She always and she ran her. Her her husband's art to
thing that they were doing there. It's like, it's like 20
people. It's like huge, huge operation. And it was, of
course, as a six foot one blonde woman with a whole bunch of
Japanese. And the end she said, no one would ever say no. Just
never say no. And then they would say yeah, no problem and
just but things just wouldn't happen. They just wouldn't do
it. But then they never say no, I didn't do it or I can't do it
or it's not possible to Yes, everything's okay. So, yeah, it
is and of course, that's, that's Japan, but it's in the region
somewhere.
He says it's in the middle. Levine's do the exact same thing
and happen to be in Indonesia doesn't surprise me at all. So
just a warning to travelers. Yes.
If they say the limo will be here, it's pretty much
bullshit.
Yes, the limo will be here, Mr. Devore. Ek.
So anyway, so this guy, this character is from the book. He
has one more little story that I think is interesting, which is
his Obama on vacation story anecdote that is in the book and
it's quite funny.
Well, you know, they were they go on vacation most frequently
to Martha's Vineyard. And I spoke to two of the
housekeeper's in the house that they rented this huge mansion
that they rented.
You know, let me just stop right here. This isn't this does not
work this way. Even non-presidential people, even
Hollywood movie stars. Everybody who works for them has a
nondisclosure agreement. They can't just go blabbing to some
Ezra Klein, dude, or wherever it is. Yeah, no, I believe
that this is still a great story, like interrupting what I
think is a great
story. I'm gonna go back here. I won't interrupt.
Well, you know, they would they go on vacation most frequently
to Martha's Vineyard. And I spoke to two of the housekeepers
in the house that they rented this huge mansion that they
rented for $50,000 a week, by the way, and they told me that
both of these is two different sources that the Obamas sleep in
separate rooms that as far as they can tell, they don't visit
each other at night. And that during the evening, Obama sits
in that bed in his own bedroom, smoking cigarettes, eating junk
food, and shopping on moronic Taffy or never.
Not allowed in the White House.
Well, this has been the week of just making fun of people. I'm
sure you heard about it. If you didn't see it, the CNBC outing
of Tom Collins. Tim Collins,
how is how is this guy out it I thought he was out of the
closet? Well, there's
a couple of things I want to say about it. Because that is the
mean this Tim Cook of course from Apple.
Yeah. Tim Cook from Apple. Supposedly I saw this. I didn't
put it in my part of the show. But I saw that story. And I was
like, how was he outed? And what why is everyone making a big
deal about this?
Oh, that's the question I want to pose. Let's listen to what
happened. This is CNBC and, and and I guess it's talking to the
reporter from the New York is a New York Times New York
Magazine, New York Times. And then he went around and he went
to find gay CEOs and no one wanted to be in his article and
this is your column. This weekend.
Looks at Lord Brown at BP Yes. Mercy, vacation, cultural
corporate story. Well, I interviewed him last week, he
has written a book in which he is described frankly tortured
live, he learned as a gay CEO of a major company. But what I find
surprising about this is he becomes the first person ever at
a fortune 500 or footsie 100 company to publicly acknowledge
that he's gay. And after all those advances in gay civil
rights, you would think CEOs especially are measured by
objective criteria, which is financial performance. We even
have, you know, pro football players on television
acknowledging their gay marriage, the state so what I'm
really exploring in the column and using his experience as a
model is why would this be in the corporate world? And what is
what is this man and I just found it very, very fascinating.
Of course, there are gay CEOs of major companies and I reached
out to many of them and I have to say I got extremely cool
reception not one would allow it to be named. Tim Cook is fairly
open about the fact that he's gay at the head of Apple, isn't
he? Oh, did was that an error? Wow. No, I just Yeah, I have
time for in the recent story, I don't want to comment about
anybody who might or might not be because I'm not going to out
anybody and I called a lot of people and no one at any major
high so
here's what this clip is very troubling to me in so many ways.
We're in this age of equality and women are getting the raw
deal so we have to you know, that's to be equality and you
can't use words and all this stuff inequality to do all this
stuff and words, you can't use Redskins, you can't say any of
this stuff, Fighting Irish. Whatever it read this morning,
we have to rename the Apache helicopter and all this stuff.
And then here's I think the the columnist sounds gay I mean,
gee, sorry. Sorry to generalize. Sorry to generalize, but yes,
sounds as he did his story on gays, and then he's appalled.
That To that know, CEOs wanted to talk about being gay, which
by the way, isn't that the whole point that it's supposed to be
no big deal. And here is the gay guy making a big deal about the
fact that no one wants to talk about it at something that's not
supposed to be a big deal because we want you can love
whoever you want to love. And yet here they are making an
actual big deal of it. And then when, when this bred who been
the Brits I think are actually pretty cool about about stuff,
because the Brits are all gay, as far as I'm concerned. And
that's a fact. Fact.
Let me look at the donation list.
I think that's pretty much the best podcast and everyone's in
horror, because oh, you've I think you've I didn't quite say
I think you've outed Tim Cook. It's like, can we grow up about
all of this or and this is now and the reason I play it is to
analyze that this is now suddenly a big deal in Oh, CNBC
are so stupid the out of Tim Cook, who if you really don't
give a crap, then why are you giving a crap? Look at yourself,
because everyone is charted the people? Yes.
I have to interrupt. The game is over Netherlands to Mexico one.
Excellent. Excellent.
You may continue.
Thank you very much. Well, I've just got an email in from Brian
the gay Crusader. You know, and whenever it comes to two LGBTQ q
ia P, we always listen to our gay Crusader. Yes, the cape. Tim
Cook has been out for years it is well publicized when he
became CEO of Apple, the columnist sounds like he's doing
a bad impression of a gay man. Well, that's, that's another
good point. Thank you very much.
Oh, that's a funny comment. That's a funny observation. New
York gays have funny
so the only thing I feel that is happening here is this is just
from a media production and executive standpoint, gay equals
ratings no matter what you do. Bring some gay into it. You
getting ratings? Okay. Gay equals power. Because, you know,
if you're doing anything against the gays, like Putin, we know we
know that when you couldn't really it's powerful. And here's
CNBC trying to catch on to this. It's really despicable, I guess,
is what I'm saying. The movies use the Bible.
I'm not gonna argue to despicable nature of the whole
gestalt of the of the episode, but here's what bothers me,
although it's got nothing to do with anything you said. But it
has to do with the competency of CNBC. The gay Crusader knew that
that Tim Cook had come out. And I knew he had come out, and
everybody in the Bay Area knows he's gay. And the CNBC guy drops
it as though he's the only one who knows he's unaware of all
this stuff that came before. In other words, he's a commentator
for CNBC, and he doesn't know what's going on in that regard.
Now, what really happened obviously, it seems to me the
reporter sent out his flyers to everybody Tim Cook is like Steve
Jobs, he doesn't want to talk to anybody. They said, can I talk
about gay CEOs? And Tim Cook's of Secretary funky
was what he said fuck you. I don't want to talk to them.
Douchebag Yeah, exactly. Well, here's the point America who
cares? Who cares? But you do you see that's the problem because
you're not really over it. You play a big game you talk a big
game, but you really not over it. You aren't the most of
America who and I will and I'm looking at all the Liberals that
you know what they really they're not overt. And they
question their own sexuality. So I'm just want to say me
America's got a long way to go when it comes to this.
This show by the way, reminded Netherlands to Mexico one
because I actually called the score.
Well, why why would why do you want me to say what do you want
me to do?
Oh, nevermind. I was gonna gloat. I was getting you off the
topic. Yes. All right.
Quick little karma to charred man whose triumph was taken out
by a deer. You've got karma. And now while we're in a
deer, yeah, like it'd be alive. Yeah. There's a lot of deer hits
up north. You know how you get killed when you hit a deer?
Is his football his whole fold slice your neck open.
Get what happens usually depends on the car you're driving this
way should drive drive a aerodynamic car.
Like your like your 1997 Lexus
92 A Sorry. It's aerodynamic. The deer would go flying over
the roof. And most people drive these SUVs up in these parts of
the neck of the woods and they hit the deer and the deer
crashes through the windshield. And then the hoof and deer is
not dead. And he got a panics and kicks and and swings his
horns around and kicks and kicks and kicks and kicks you to death
in the car. Yep,
that's the number one number one cause of death up north. Okay,
before we just just because I need to talk to America here for
a moment and continue. So if you're not over the gay thing,
America, you have a long way to go until you just don't give a
crap anymore. Okay? The view apparently has been fired at the
view I don't except for Whoopi Goldberg. And I could care less
I don't watch the view. And I and I used to like her a lot
when she was just doing stand up and she had her early movies and
stuff. And as she became very annoying to me, but she did
something that is part of the vocabulary of people who watch
the view and I did have no ratings and defy everybody have
no idea what's going on. Maybe nobody watches. But this was a
conversation about words. And and her take and actually the
panel's take on words and bullying and and using phrases
like your Redskins or whatever it is. And there was so much
going on here and it just bothered me. And this is a
what's his name? Kane. He's I think he's on CNN. He's kind of
either Republican or right. Leaning guy. His name anyway,
we'll cane cane.
Will cane. Oh, wow. Okay. So here they are. on just this
clip. It's little, it's Bob. You can't even understand what
they're saying.
Is so inappropriate. Russell in this commentary compares isis
this group running around the Middle East, lopping heads off
left and right to Fox News, who Oh, they might persuade somebody
and I think it's part of this whole trend we have no we
elevate words to the most harmful thing in society. How
dare you say somebody could offend somebody? How dare you
say somebody could hurt my feelings? Let me tell you why.
Well, because America has, we have a history of utilizing
words to harm people and hurt people and the people who have
been on the other side of it, I think are at the point where
they're saying you know what, this is not okay anymore. And
you got it. You gotta roll with it because
oh, there it is. Roll with it. Roll roll.
Were there some point we all have to grow up is worse than
physical. There was a time when it was sticks and stones can
break my bones but your words cannot.
Saying I don't believe in that saying When did Sticks and
stones may or may never hurt you.
This is what we've talked about many times. What I what I grew
up with what you grew up with, what Sticks and stones may break
my bones but words will never hurt me. And these people go
ballistic words do hurt.
Words labels getting hurt, you know, when you say those words,
why don't just be there and you got to be bigger than you know.
You cannot you cannot say that? Well, you what you can do is say
you know what? Don't use that red skinned thing anymore. I'm
not comfortable with it. Don't say this word because I don't
like it. I'm hours. I don't want to hear this. Every one of these
groups has the absolute right right to say the this has been
harmful. This has hurt my parents. This is hurting my
grandparents and don't use it anymore. Or you're going to hear
it or use it. And don't be surprised the people in business
won't stop talking. Everybody's offended all the time. From the
Fighting Irish to the Redskins, everybody
because if you don't, did you hear that?
She says Spoken like a true white guy. Yeah, that's she's a
racist. That's racist.
Yeah, to an extreme. And of course, the guy didn't catch her
to call her out on it.
He just he didn't really he just let it let it slide. But
she's a horrible racist. You
can't say the like, you can't say, sticks and stones will
break my bones. And then you know, you can't do all this and
then turn right around. And then it's actually says something
funny.
I don't mean it in a bad way.
Okay.
Yeah, you do. And so I mean, in a bad way, you wouldn't have
said it. So apparently.
And you can do that as long as you're Whoopi Goldberg, but you
can do it if you're not.
Well, that's why nobody's watching the show. Hello.
Well, that's the question is nobody's actually nobody
watching the show. I think those
alternative shows there's a couple of them to talk. That's
the table, the cutter. I know they have a bunch of these.
There's about four clone shows that are taken off of the view.
And I think that they're they're outperforming the view and I
think the view was needed a shake up and it won't be as they
don't see will be as the problem is annoying
so apparently Brazil can't meet Germany in the final the World
Cup.
Are they on the same side of the round? Yeah.
So they can meet in the semi finals?
Oh, then who? Oh, I have to look at the data. Look at the
brackets.
Well, then it could probably be. So for the
well, what what's the it will be Brazil again? Chance of
Netherlands meeting Germany? Yes, the same. Yeah.
Netherlands, Germany. It can be Brazil, Argentina or
Netherlands, Germany. Wow.
So Netherlands and Germany. That would be a new fight. And the
Germans will win that one. No, no, no, no, no, that could be
the finals. That can be Oh, that's a finals. The
finals could be Netherlands, Germany. The finals could be
Netherlands, Germany, for the semi finals, Brazil, Germany and
Netherlands, Argentina. So it could be this would be the
ultimate Brazil. Argentina. Doesn't matter who wins. Both
countries need help. No,
no, it doesn't matter. Even more so because the Brazilians hate
the Argentinians.
Oh, wow. That could be great. Yeah, that'd
be a good one.
That'd be good. All right. Why are we even talking about that?
Well, I had to correct us. So you can't?
Because we predicted the, the the the.
We predicted the impossible.
Exactly. All right, Brazil, Argentina. And I don't know
what's gonna happen these other guys.
I think it's about time now that we get into our segment dude
named Ben. Oh, do I get something else?
I have something after that, that I want to make sure that we
get in why don't you do that? I don't want to I don't want to
forget whatever. Well, I don't know what how I had looked for
time. I ran into it. You know, we have a couple of famous
barons in Tokyo. And they do this this kind of 22nd they
invented a presentation, which is which is being done around
the world now. Yeah, there's 700 venues for this but let me
there's so they brought this woman I'm watching that what I
thought was going to be an educational panel on C span,
where they brought on a bunch of people to talk about technology
in the media kind of thing. And they brought in this Adina
KERASILK Karasik, whatever they call it, K Ara sic her name. And
she is the most of astonishing bullcrap artists I have ever
heard ever. That is, and she is the professor of Media at
Fordham, I believe. So let's first start with the
introduction to her, which is introduction. I'm gonna do a I
did a very poor job of okay, yeah, Kara. This is the ADINA
carsick intro not the her intro.
We're gonna start off with Dr. Gina classic from Fordham
University, who's going to be presenting a Pecha Kucha, which
if you don't
Pecha Kucha, it's an Austin two, by the way we had one is very
popular. It's a it's, it's incredibly proud of what
a Pecha Kucha years it's PowerPoint multimedia, with
video audio. It's quite an amazing creation, to be
perfectly honest.
I'm sorry, John, we just have to reiterate. Our Dame Astrid and
Sir Mark in Tokyo invented this.
Yes, they actually do competitor Bucha. In the Wikipedia, they're
mentioned prominently as the inventors. Now the way that she
does, um, she there, she makes a horror show from what I can
tell. And I only have her she first she iterates the her
entire slideshow presentation. And I want you to listen to this
carefully because she's got a word in here that I've never
heard ever and I can't couldn't find it, trying to find it on
Wikipedia. And you'll hear it. But then this is her intro. This
is part two. This is her talking about her slideshow, and she
gives you the whole slideshow by talking about it, then I'm going
to then you can or can't don't have to but you can play slide
one, which was her talking about the same thing again, but you
just I just want you to play this for one reason. This is the
sort of Professor of media that an Ivy League college might
have. I don't know whether she's his tenured tenure or not, but I
had we in Silicon Valley and you know this because you've heard
these pitches that kind of bullshit. does not come close to
this. Thanks, Bob
for inviting me here today. It's great to see you all yes, I've
created a Pecha Kucha for those of you don't know what it is.
It's a Japanese form that basically takes sort of like an
upgraded slideshow, which takes 20 seconds 20 slides and each
slide is really you have 20 seconds, so it's quite a feat to
be able to do it live If I usually wouldn't be presenting
this live but because of technological difficulties today
I will be just presenting it to you as is blather Yeah.
All right now we do the slide.
No, she's not that's the end of your clip. Yeah, that's all I
had. Oh, okay then try this. Dude okay, this would be it.
This is her summary of the thing this is Dina summarizes this is
a good one.
Call my second at the wrong one. Okay, do you have to summarize
it? Here we go.
Basically, the presentation, which has gone through a number
of titles as no call back in the OSV are, the ghost is the
machine and basically, it's an analytic meditation on the
relationship between technology and spirituality in contemporary
media. And so as you will see, it has you know, there's
references to manifestations of the disembodied voice as in
Spike Jones as her which I'm sure you've all seen or Apple's
Siri. rethinking it as a 21st century Gollum. It highlights
how the middle and the machines are not oppositional with media
are extensions of man and cars as in the words of McLuhan, deep
and lasting changes and transform our environment and
basically opens up a space reminding us how the
metaphysical and the physical or non opposition airy but maybe
perhaps it would be more wise to think of it more as a pad of
physical space
with a pad of physical space
the physical mind says her language and thereby all
knowledge his spectral and virtual spectral Similac crack
what is Simrock lack what is it? This is a good word
I got him a lack rack is she says they're spared the spectral
and virtual bingo and Similac rats
and Similac crack. So without further ado, my Pecha Kucha
bingo boom Chakalaka
Similac lab. Perfect. By the way, a lot of these packages are
really good. I don't want anyone to get the idea of that this
one is, this is not. So I just slide one of the pedagogy and
this is the same blathering craziness makes no sense to me,
but it's actually
quite entertaining. I'm enjoying it.
According to Derrida spirit and bodies the same and other
simultaneously we must rethink the relationship with the
mystical and the machine. Now this oppositional but the
technology is aligning the binary between the physical,
metaphysical, magical and the real reminding us about language
and thereby all knowledge is spectral virtual Similac Crick,
boom, Bing bam, Boom shakalaka wow, you know, did she at any
point during her Pecha Kucha mentioned wearables?
I don't know. I didn't watch anymore
Internet of Things.
I couldn't take it. She's so full of crap. And I'm like, it
was a McLuhan Maven. I mean, I used to read all I've had I've
read all of his material was McLuhan. Marshall McLuhan is a
media theorist had died, you know, like 20 years ago, just
before the internet came around. And he was a very controversial
figure and he's Canadian. She's Canadian, by the way. And he's
any you know, most people saw him as something of a crackpot.
He's the medium is the message guy. Oh, okay. So yes, of
course, a lot of interesting thoughts and observations, which
were kind of some of them were sort of semi nutty, but a lot of
them were thoughtful, and there's very much of it was
like, based on James Joyce style writing because he was a huge
fan of James Joyce. And this woman just seems to be just
grabbing at straws and throwing words together. She's more
famous as a poet, which makes some sense. Yeah, yeah. Anything
MIT me a bit of like, word slam or whatever. Yeah. And
it's just like, Please, can you imagine taking her course? I
mean, you'd want to shoot yourself. People like this
should not be teaching
that's that's the thing that's surprising is that she's
actually teaching.
He's a professor I don't know if anybody gets a clue on what
she's talking about with Similac crack. I'd be interested I
couldn't find dry google my head off looking for it. And that's
Similac
rack.
Yeah. Similac rack did
you try faru.com? No, I
haven't I didn't know about until we started this show. So
I'd have an How
do you spell it? How do you think you spell Similac? Right?
I
thought it was CYMA si M i Lac La si RAC Ric that would be make
sense.
Similac reckless. I'm gonna give it a shot and foru.com and so
far. No, I'm sorry. No, no luck. simulacra. I don't know what it
is. Wow. All right. Let's do this. Now think his first name
it would have been been a guy named Ben it dude named Ben.
Exactly. dude named Ben, we need a full jingle for this. This is
the quite surprising, to me, at least, the lack of true
technical analysis of the situation with the IRS missing
emails. And of course this goes on to the EPA missing emails,
just missing emails in general, from our government here in the
United States of Gitmo nation. And the more C span I watched,
the more disappointed I am by just no one giving one crap
about what it really is not all that hard to understand. But I
guess we have such disdain for people that we just say, see Dr.
Crash glitch, end of story, where just a little bit of
research would really help you understand what's going on. We
always keep our IT administrators Sis sis admins in
very high regard here on the no agenda show. But these of
course, have now been relegated to the single solitary level of
dude named Ben, that is all people in it are now a dude
named Ben. That's your government who thinks that way?
So we got a lot of emails from dudes named Ben. And I think we
should evaluate a few of these because the IRS most definitely
was using a email archiving system known as Sona soft and
they are backpedaling as much as they can. And the system is it
actually is very interesting here's our first dude named Ben
no agenda night this is the our dude named Ben who turned us on
to the Spectre 360s software employee spying software John
member this we had, yep, that takes the screen movies of
everything was I happen to be very experienced with sonar,
soft sonar vault email archiving software that the IRS is blaming
for their loss messages, total bullshit on their part. But what
else is new? The sonar vault is deployed to archive every email
that traverses the network, just in case the email server and he
says just in case all uppercase, or employees hard drive crashes,
so this solution they had in place is specifically in place.
For this very reason in case a hard drive crashes. All email
that enters an organization is intercepted log index and
archive before it is sent onto the user's email boxes. This is
so that an employee cannot delete securely or otherwise any
emails received internally or externally, before being
recorded and archived. Any emails sent by a user are
relayed to the Sona vault before it is forwarded by the SMTP
server to archive those as well. So let's just recap this. This
is not like I've got emails and there's a backup process. Now
the minute an email goes through the network at the network
level, the Sona vault, catches it and saves it. Sona vault is
an independent system from the email server on purpose. It is
an onsite appliance not in the cloud. To make sure all emails
are saved in case of a server or hard drive crash it is used for
incredibly fast searches of all email. This of course debunks
the whole idea that they have no way to search their email. And
the searches can be narrowed down to ranges, email boxes,
keywords, et cetera. Sona vault says our dude named Ben was my
third level of backup beside email clusters and nightly
offside does the backup to backups any IT guy or dude named
Ben worth his salt knows backups and restore techniques so that
the IRS lose these backups no effing way let's go on to our
next now Sona soft made a statement and this is our dude
named Ben who says I am a new IT manager for a large public
accounting firm and have worked in the IT risk and security
industry for several years. This includes implementing evaluating
and auditing companies IT security environment and best
practices including Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA and others, each of
which has strict retention and data archiving policies. Today I
was reading Sona sauce blog post denying that they have the IRS
as email archives and I noticed a few nuances I want to point
out their main point that is repeated several times is as
follows quote, Sona soft does not have IRS email, so too soft
never had access to IRS email. This is interesting because the
stress the stress that they stressed they do not currently
have IRS email which is true and they never had access to IRS
email. They do not say they never had IRS email or the email
wasn't archived only they did not have access to the access
language is interesting because Sona soft is attempting to tell
everyone what likely happened. So this is what this is the
sleuthing from our dude named Ben Sona saw The safeguards and
special algorithms to protect the Sona vault Email Archive
from mischievious IT administrators who might be
tempted to delete or tamper with the archive email. Any attempt
to delete or modify the Sona vault email archive will capture
the altered text date stamp the attempt and send out various
alerts to IT personnel management that an attempted
breach occurred. The original email will not be changed in any
way. The only way that email can be deleted from the archive is
through Sona vaults expiration policies, this is where we get
down to the the heart of it. The administrator can set retention
policies to purge the archive of emails that have been reached
that have reached an expiration date, which is often set to a
seven year period. And this is where it gets interesting, John,
it seems to be pretty much company policy across the board
to limit everybody's inbox to what two to 250 megabytes and to
start deleting after 30 to 60 days. Now this doesn't mean that
the Sona soft solution is hasn't captured all this stuff. But it
is very possible that the hard drive crash certainly removed
Miss Lerner's emails, but that the policies set or set in
hindsight, purge the emails from the big backup solution. dude
named Ben who worked for a large oil and gas company with two x's
in it. During my tenure, they moved to a rather annoying email
policy, the inbox was limited to 150 megabytes after 12 months,
emails were moved to a to be deleted folder. And after
another 30 or 60 days they were deleted. The purpose of this was
to force us to flush out our inbox in case litigation was to
pop up to limit the amount of discovery that could be done.
This is this is a large oil and gas company. Their solution was
to save the individual files as dot msg files to the shared
server. That part was moderately inconvenient. And people in
finance people in finance a treasury when you work in a
refinery and do engineering support your records and
historic references can be very important. And it doesn't always
make sense to save that stuff to a central land. We used to joke
it was good to get put on the litigation hold because all of
those restrictions disappeared. This is this is how I think the
whole Sarbanes Oxley thing has been circumvented. And people
it's a big joke. John, I don't think that everyone has all
these policies to strip email out and get rid of it.
Well, this reminds me of that, as you know, the modern board
especially in a tech company was in one board meeting once and
some guy was very the Secretary is very assiduous but type
writing down every every detail of the meeting and in the after
the meeting was over, he got chewed out writing down any
details,
right just for having for having done it at all. Yeah.
And it was be like you, Joe, somebody it should be Joe Blow
stood up and discuss the the policies regarding personnel.
That's it, you know, one short sentence about what the what
he's, you know, or nothing, or just nothing happened in this
meeting. And this kind of thing is yeah, that's what American
business does. We go out of our way to few skate because of
litigation. Stuff you run into in discovery is is nightmarish.
Here's an email from a dude named Ben. He says I'm working
for a defense contractor that had a whistleblower problem.
Soon afterwards, a new email policy came out. Email older
than six months is deleted from the server and you're prohibited
from saving email on your local drive. If you're in a position
where you would receive email that needs to be saved longer
for compliance reasons, then you have to take a class install
software that would tag the software for eat for archive.
The official reason given was the cost of backups. policies to
prevent employees from access to data are everywhere.
The cost of backups.
Yeah, yeah, I
guess it has been the cost go and look at the price of a
terabyte drive.
And then the final from a dude named Ben who is a supply
officer in the US Navy currently serving in Italy. It is navy
policy, we get only 200 megabytes of storage space on
our exchange server. And by the way, this is a big part of the
problem is Exchange Server. Everyday before I go home, I
have to go through my emails and move older emails to a dot PST
file on my desktop. We are not allowed to have the dot PST
files on network storage. So if a hard drive goes you lose
everything. As the Navy is far too cheap to pay for hard drive
recovery and the techniques are overworked and underpaid. The
technicians are overworked and underpaid, and they're all named
Ben. So they don't give two shits about him. Navy it is
supposed to backup the emails going through the server to tape
for investigative purposes. But I wouldn't be surprised if that
doesn't happen at all. Or as I've seen on multiple occasions
the tapes fail or weren't written correctly and the
backups is useless. It in the government is a joke. It was
just a few months ago that we are graded from Windows XP and
office 2003 to Windows seven and office 2010. Well, I do think
the IRS is using these hard drive failures as an excuse to
cover up wrongdoing I wouldn't be surprised if their IT
department failed to. So what do we make of all this?
Throw out all computers. And of course, now we make of it. Well,
what I make of it as it probably is just as like, this is a gotta
control government corrupt government doing what it can't
cover up anything it does. And if total
disdain for the, for the public for the regulations. And it is
the ones that make all these stupid, regular they make all
these regulations that go out of control. Because, you know, I've
always said that, well, we got to do nothing. Congress. I
always tell people, You should be thankful. Yeah. Yeah. Because
when the Congress is doing something, it's usually screwing
stuff up.
Now here, here's what's going
on everybody's apparently in violation of the federal records
Protection Act. Yeah.
And I have a piece on that. But first, here's what's going to
happen. Nothing, no one will be made an example of and unlike
the IRS is very specific and actually very personal to me.
They make examples of people all the time. You want to you want
to prove that you don't have to pay taxes, your Wesley Snipes go
to jail for three years. You know, they always take some
schlub from the entertainment industry who got screwed by
managers and agents. Sorry, I didn't tell you,
Willie Nelson got screwed by James Brown,
everybody is all they're always out to make an example of
somebody and screw them and always
have usually a very popular singer. Yeah.
And while I think it is important to remind people that
they have a duty. You know, there's all kinds of negative
connotations for the citizen. And of course, no one is going
to be made example of it is very clear that this company Sona
soft, had their network based archiving system in place, this
was expressly deleted, that seems to be the way it's done in
big business and government alike, because we just don't
want to have any record of anything. And by the way, this
is not just this government. And this is unfortunately, where the
conversation is going to go. This has happened so many times.
And you'll you might recall, this even happened with the Bush
administration. Do you remember this little ditty here's ISO, by
the way, this is going to get play? And it's the whole thing
is going to be Oh, yeah. You think you think you guys are
clean? You lost emails, too,
I assumed that the robust tool you're now using to go through
and recapture the PST is and D conflict. The fact that PST is
often have multiple PSPs. And you don't want to have 40,000
copies of the same email by so you have to take care of the
duplicates. Those tools didn't exist for Lotus Notes, in all
likelihood, because do you remember
the story when they they were trying to migrate from Lotus
Notes and they lost 22 million emails?
I don't remember it. Oh,
well, here's Eisah. Talking about layout
by the time the Clinton administration was on its way
out, is that roughly correct?
My understanding is the way they because they have like a limited
D due process for arms and it had to be built. That's my
understanding.
So here we have a situation where the Clinton administration
is on a platform that has to be phased out. There's simply they
lost the war of who's going to supply emails,
though, great, great explanation of how it works, Darrell,
a period of time goes on in which yes, we're dealing to Dr.
Weinstein's concern with, you know, getting good archives, but
we're also dealing with the fact that I can't play my Betamax
tapes anymore, either. And I can't seem to find somebody who
has a Betamax player anymore. And in a matter of a couple
years, it's going to be hard for me to play my high definition
DVDs that were on the platform that now is being phased out
nice. So that's how he explained it away. The total bull crap all
of this is bullcrap. Oh, it's on the Lotus Notes is completely
incompatible. All of this, all of this. Darrell Eisah all these
they're all vote all of them out. I'm sick and tired of the
bunch of them. And am the the Obama administration who are
supposed to be the IT experts out sick of all them they lying
sacks? They lie they cheat. They they they have total disdain for
an educated public. Our public knows how email works up public
understands how servers work. Here are the people who they
call dudes named Ben. Who actually run this stuff missing
look, we're at As to basically obfuscate, delete, get rid of
evidence. And the stuff that does work actually works in ways
that are not properly explained, explained to the public. And
what do we get glitch or whatever. And here's Mr. Cool
Koskinen. He's now on a PR drive to go and explain it to
everybody. And of course, you know, he shows up on brawls show
somebody like Paul Ryan accuses you basically of being a liar,
that that's a pretty serious allegation.
Well, it is a serious allegation, we take the entire
questions seriously from the start bullshit. As I said, when
I began the improper criteria used to highlight organizations
for investigation, just by their name was a mistake. I apologize
to anybody who had their applications held up needlessly,
everybody needs to be confident that the IRS is going to treat
them fairly, no matter who they are.
That's really interesting. He basically just said, Okay, no,
that's not important. We're sorry about that, which is what
the whole thing was about in the first place. Hey, we're sorry
that we just looked at your names and said, Hey, let's
investigate these guys. Okay, but let's move on. What? This is
brilliant publicans,
Democrats, whatever organization they belong to,
Shouldn't someone be blamed for the this antiquated, awful
system that allowed official records to simply disappear?
While I think somebody could get the IG is investigating all of
the issues about the car drive crash.
And this is both the the top notch guy at CNN, reading a
scripted question, and getting the hard drive crash as an
answer
our drive crash. My approach when I parachute into these
things is to try to fix the problems right? Rather than try
to figure out how to blame and some time ago, I asked for us to
review exactly how the email system runs and whether we
couldn't convert to a more searchable more retainable email
system. I've also,
which is a lie. They have an extremely well archive
searchable system as we just heard from someone who
implements Sona soft,
right? No, it's a fantastic system.
So said, we need to respond to the concerns of the archivist
who came out with a very interesting thing, the archivist
they have a hoarder, Justin recently that for agencies
struggling moving forward into an electronic system,
wait a minute, the IRS is struggling to move into an
electronic system? Are you kidding me? Personally, this is
an
insider, very interesting suggestion recently that for
agencies struggling moving forward into an electronic
system, they should take the senior people in and make sure
all of those records and emails are preserved. I should
emphasize that all emails are not official records. So if an
email is lost, it doesn't mean we've lost an official record.
Now
this is not now that is a blatant lie. Emails, of course,
are official records. That's why there's retention laws for your
for your organization. And now he's he's making something up.
Why shouldn't taxpayers use the crashed hard drive excuse when
undergoing an IRS
meme? Yeah. And this is the script. And now listen to the
answer.
A number of them already have done that. And the question has
been, is there a dual standard, and as I've said, the IRS has
24,000, Lois Lerner emails from this period, we historically if
a taxpayer has lost electronic records of said, if you have
other indications and evidence of what went on, we'll take that
from you. It's if you lose a document, it doesn't mean you
lose the argument, we actually work with taxpayer to say, we'll
look at other evidence, like the 24,000 emails, and if we can
find any evidence to support your case, and in fact, if the
circumstances support your case, will support you and you won't
have any problems.
Now, this is so unfair, what he's saying. So on one hand,
yes, I am I've, I've personally witnessed that they will take
pretty much everything and believe you, and I'm just this
is my own. I've had so much shit with the IRS in my past, who are
coming armed. They will take all kinds of evidence. But if that's
all your evidence, like this case, where they cannot produce
these emails, they're not saying Oh, but we have this to prove it
now that we don't have it. And when you do that with the IRS,
and it will sorry, you have nothing to show, you gotta pay
for it. So he's it's a false premise that he's putting up
here.
He's Mr. Cool. Well, not gonna beat this guy.
You know, there should if I will not stop. There's a couple
things. I won't start Haiti. I'm not going to stop on Haiti. And
I'm not going to stop on this. This is the essence the fact
that that the the the system has tricked people into into this
tax income tax IRS system, which is not exactly what they say it
is. And that's a whole different show. And when you get into that
people who Oh, you're just crazy, but okay. It's a system
that is supposed to work but it is based on trust. And if if
there's an No no real outrage which I believe the media is
trying to downplay this so out and this is clearly a a
polishing shiny make make him look good job with broth reading
the script. If there's no outrage, we are told this is
just this is the end of it. Then there's nothing there's nothing
left. What are you going to get angry about?
This is not your
this is not the right battle.
You're asking the wrong question.
Okay. Help me. Wealth Tax. Yeah.
Yeah, different system you mean.
Exactly.
That wouldn't remove a lot of the problems. But of course,
that'll never happen. And people don't even understand what that
means.
happened in Switzerland. Yeah, dude named actually happened in
France. A lot of countries have tried it. But most of the time
they get, you know, the, the wealthy realize that this is not
the best bet because many of them don't. They've never pay in
taxes. They
don't really have an income. I don't like it. Now.
Before we move on to thank our list of producers, you asked me
to remind you about this study about online advertising. You
asked me to remind you,
yeah, yeah, I did. I
can't remember for the life of me. Why
this? Well, and its effectiveness.
Yeah, there was something that came out. I think I was tweeting
or something. And there was oh, man, I can't remember. Exactly.
Wow, you should have asked me to remind you the other part of it
then because you only okay. So I don't know what it is. But this
is the study. They were?
Yeah, this is a study, I think I'd printed it out. Maybe that's
what it is I did to remind us to go look through the pile.
It was an eBay study, eBay commissioned the study. And they
try and they they looked at online advertising. And if it
made any difference if you had ads on Google, Yahoo, Facebook
or Twitter, if people bought more or less of the product on
eBay, and it turned out, there was pretty much no difference.
Right? The only well, they found that nothing work No, nothing.
No, nothing made a difference. They found
that most online advertising, I'm just coming back to me. Yes.
Okay, here. We do a lot of work in each individual showing a
candidate's flights lastin. First out what can I say? And
that was old stuff. That's first and last out kind of thing. And,
yeah, they've done some studies, I have to get the documents now.
So I can get some clips or something. But the studies
indicate that online advertising, internet
advertising, which you just say all the time, it's not like this
is the new thing, new concept to the show. You say this commonly,
online advertising doesn't work, it doesn't do anything. It's
just a big waste of time and money. Right. Now, they did find
that some small time advertisers, they might do a
little search ad, advertising benefits, some, they they will
boost their businesses, many of them will claim that the
greatest thing that's ever happened to him was Google. But
generally speaking, most of it, the banner ads and all the rest
of it are,
well, even even the Google ads don't work. That was their point
was if someone was truly looking for it was a new new to a
category had never purchased. That's where there is some
slight indication that it does work. And this is actually in
advertising in general and I come from the advertising
business. The question is always, does it make sense to
advertise during Christmas? And if you look at all the studies
that have been done, there is a well, I was going to buy it
anyway, because it's Christmas. And it doesn't really matter if
I had the advert if I saw the ad or not. It's a very, very deep
issue that has been and that has been going on for years. And
it's the magic of advertising that advertising companies don't
really want to talk about and the effectiveness and the amount
of money. I think I think some of that is unraveling now as
what we're seeing online. And I think the Ponzi scheme that is
in fact, Google is coming undone. Well, none of
its coming undone as we speak, but it has, it doesn't seem to
be there's not a lot of excitement. By the way. This
happened in that 999 to 2001 when we had the so called.com
crash, right. One of the huge one of the big piece of Fallout
was the advertising business. Everybody pulled out from
advertising on the Internet and it's screwed up so many business
plans that we're counting on advertising. Yeah, we're gonna
do it through advertising. Yeah. And of course, we will monetize
through advertising monetize through advertising. And that's
the reason that when we both went through that, and we went
through the rest of the bull crap that goes on, and I want
to, I got to play some stuff after the break here. That's
more bullcrap of the sort that we've seen. And been part of
actually. But we've seen this this this play out before. And
that's why we don't do advertise them is one of the many reasons
we don't do advertising on this show. We don't want to get
dependent on it. Obviously,
we're on the other side of the equation, which is, which is now
with native advertising is bringing editorial and analysis
and just words is turning it into unbelievable blather,
because everything is related to advertising. And we couldn't do
any of this. You think you can talk about gays on the show with
advertisers? Yeah, hi. Yeah. Hey, John, could you talk to
Adam a little bit? Yeah, you know, we're getting some
pushback from the ad sales guys. And the problem with the ad
sales guys is you know, they, they, you know, we've got the
Koreans smartphone, that's advertising and you're showing
Yeah, oh, yeah. We're
gonna go big on that. Yeah. But
the problem is, is you know, they don't like what I'm talking
about gays. GBT, GQ. So we think it's funny. We really appreciate
you know what you're doing. And we don't want to tell you what
you have to do in the show. But maybe you could steer him away.
Maybe I was thinking maybe we could look at just for once in a
while. A substitute host you know, we could
agree. I know what you mean. I don't think that we were
thinking of guy father, Robert, ballast all in with you guys.
Because this guy has been going off the deep end for God knows
how he was thinking if we break through, not under I've talked
to him about it. He doesn't seem to get it. Yeah. He's one of
these is kind of an a hole. sort of thing.
Yeah, maybe we should ask him just to take a little break. You
know, he deserves it. He's going to move on anyway.
He's may have to what do you think? What do you think about
me with him? Because I've talked to him before. If he goes
upstairs and has a meeting with you, I think it'll be have a
bigger impact.
What do you think we were thinking? Maybe you Harry
McCracken would be a good combo.
McCracken is a good guy I think AI he would be a good substitute
for Adam.
I'm gonna show my school by Jonah to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that
we do have some people to thank for this show who who contribute
on a show by show basis and want to thank them now including Ezra

this week marks the 100th anniversary of the beginning of
World War one kind of by the shooting of the the shooting in
Serbia of the the Archduke or whatever it was, remember? Sure.
Yeah, so they're putting up a big I got this. Unfortunately
the clip says a 00 but it should say 100 year anniversay so
they're putting up a statue Now do you remember World War One
when it broke out? killed? I don't know how many millions and
millions of people and led directly to World War Two
do I want to say I have a feeling it's like 20 or 25
million people
some outrageous number and World War Two killed millions and
millions of people. But it was not a fun era.
World War Two was a bummer.
Well, World War One was too so there was all part of this
it was the trench war. Yeah. And then World War World War in the
trench trench? Yes. Yeah. And it
was a people were dying of all kinds of things. And then it led
to the Spanish flu epidemic.
Yeah. 1918 which was right when another
was sick and they came home and made everyone else sick and
other 15 million people does so
the job play this clip because they're putting up a statue. In
Serbia, Bosnia are one of the two sides of the river to the
guy who who was the assassin because he's a big hero.
100 years ago, today, a single shot changed the course of
history. Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria Hungary was
killed on June 28 1914, sparking the First World War. ethnic and
national claims still resonate in the region and Serbs say
they're boycotting the commemorations this Saturday in
San Diego, accusing Bosnian officials of politicizing
today's ceremony in a Serbian quarter of the Bosnian capital.
Meanwhile, a new statue was unveiled of Gavrilo Princip, the
man who killed the Archduke, a man Serb nationalists hailed as
a hero.
Excellent. What
the hell is this guy who is responsible for more deaths? I
mean, it's not as though this thing wasn't going to maybe get
triggered some other rights that you have to assume that's the
case. It's like the crystal north of
World War One. Yeah. But still hero. Well,
there is something up with this world war one I saw briefly this
morning while I was prepping, I saw the anti constitutionalists
of Fareed Zakaria on CNN where you will you're doomsday
prepping I was doomsday prepping for the show, getting my my ham
gear and my go bag with my massive quantities of ammo, and
my high high capacity magazines. And they were talking about the
similarities between 1912 and one of the first world war
breaker breakout 1914 2014. But actually, I think they were
saying 1914 and 2014. But they really meant a little bit
earlier, I guess. And the main again, I just kind of out of the
corner of my eye and I recorded it so I'll be able to check that
for for Thursday's show. It appears that they weren't
talking about you know, the the hatred for the Germans and that
we're now seeing a very this is part of our Deutschland
blitzkrieg that we've noticed. It appears that there is a
similarity now that were in 2014 We're also the Germans are the
problem. And then openly talking about this now and people and
people are picking up stories. I got a couple of stories. Young
German Neo Nazis are appropriating Brooklyn hipster
dumb. That's pretty blatant. Nip stirs the German Neo Nazis
trying to put a hipper face on hate this is Rolling Stone
magazine to the called nip stirs Nazi hipsters. German shops now
to sell more uncomf for the first time since 1945, when the
copyright the copyright is now expiring social media Why do
Germans shun Twitter? This something going on that is not
okay. We got
to find what PR agencies behind this German hatred thing. I do
have one clip Germany fires or Verizon which was played big in
the van cat station,
right? Whereas Oh, here it is. Yeah, this. This was this is
pretty big.
The German government has canceled its contract with the
US telling
AMY GOODMAN
Yeah, no, I'm just saying it's Amy Goodman. Now.
The German government has cancelled its contract with the
US telecommunications firm Verizon admits concerns over NSA
spying. reports based on leaks by Edward Snowden revealed vast
NSA spying in Germany, including on Chancellor Angela Merkel cell
phone for rise and provided services for German government
agencies. But in a statement Thursday, Germany's Interior
Ministry said quote the links revealed between foreign
intelligence agencies and firms after the NSA affair shows that
the German government needs a high level of security for its
essential network. So
absolutely should it should have been Deutsche Telekom all all
this all along. It's never been Verizon.
No, I agree with that.
Can't blame them?
So yeah, we do have to keep our eye on this. Yeah, we
got to start getting more stuff. We should have at least a couple
pieces every show until we can kind of figure out I think the
more we play, the more we'll figure it out.
But we know of course, that the Germans are all over Snowdens.
Osiris
does. You know miracles are friend of Putin. Yeah,
there's that. Oh, I got some real good insight to the Polish
blowjob comment. Now, do you recall this from from Thursday
show? Vaguely? Yeah. So secretly recorded tape between the
foreign minister and to politicians came out and he
says, you know, the Americans, all we did was give them blow
jobs. We gotta get nothing in return. I know what this is
about now. From our Polish contingent. Okay. Well, this is
about esta the Visa Waiver Program. Poland is the only
country that is in the Schengen agreement of the Schengen
Agreement is this borders agreement in the EU? They're the
only country who are not in the ESTA Visa Waiver Program.
So that's to get a visa to come here. Yes. And all the Polish
people that live in Illinois and Pennsylvania and all over the
place.
So here's the problem. Nancy Pelosi, as she was part of the
when they put this ESA in place, she said Well, no country can be
part of the ESTA system if they have more than 10% rejection
rate of visa applications. Now, there's a couple of different
explanations for this, and I will give you the ones that I
that I've been given. If you really look into it, and by the
way, you know, Chile, Chile has is in the Visa Waiver Program of
Hungary, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Slovakia, Estonia. I
mean, you'd think that Poland would be okay to be in there.
Well, actually, I think Brazil would be too but it's not well,
Brazil is not and that's why Brazil is also is an fu to
America. It's very hard to get or it's difficult to get a visa
for Brazil if you're an American citizen.
But it's not that difficult. It just takes a while and cost you
100 bucks.
It can be it can be more difficult.
Well, I've gotten believe I've gotten at least a dozen
resilient visa. It's not that hard.
When's the last time you got one?
About two years ago, okay, well, it may
have gotten a little harder with some of the they've
been giving you I think if you're a repeat customer, it's
not a big deal. But they do bitch about it.
So Poland, apparently the reason why they are at 11 or 12%
rejection rate is you know, there's a couple of questions
you have to answer for your visa one is have you ever been
arrested? And you know, some official reasoning is well, you
know, back in the day there's a lot of you know, the communists
crap people are getting arrested all the time if you answer that
question, honestly, you know, that's an automatic deny. But
also you know, I think the people in Poland believe and we
do in Poland does a lot for us and we're putting their their we
put missiles in there and a bomb goes over then we're like, hey,
we literally ones that were fighting on Bush's side is
someone. Yeah,
right. So so I understand what they're saying. Like, well, we
blow America we let them do anything they want, but we're we
can't just be in the Visa Waiver Program. And the there is a
deeper context to this. And I'm and this is not what I believe
I've no I don't know, I'm telling you what I've been told.
And I think it's important because this is another factoid
or piece of information you could never bring up on a
program with advertisers. There is a a theory amongst polls that
there's a lot of Jews in American government, hate the
polls. And they're and this is how Nancy Pelosi comes into the
story. And they want to make it as difficult as possible. They
don't want Polish coming to America. So there's a whole anti
semitic thing going or somatic thing going on there. And in
Poland? Ah, interesting, right?
Well, there is that element. I know that the you find this if
you in Chicago, he was used to be blacks and bowls and Jewish
groups, and there was a three main ethnic groups you for the
Mexicans took over the place. And the commentary was always
that the Jews are irked at the polish for not doing anything to
stand up to Hitler, and get in then take the to take the Jews,
you know, there was some belief that the Polish actually
encouraged it. And I think this is a long standing.
This is this is one of those Yeah, and in fact, one of those
deals. Let's actually have it here. Let's see. Wiki pent
Wikipedia entry of mouse ma us graphic novel, in which pig is
equated to pole poles are pigs to Jews, ie the most despised
animal in their religion. It's stupid as Poland was tolerant to
Jews. This is from an insider, I got this from 3.3 million Jews
live in Poland before World War Two, when the 2 million more
than any other country was Germans who performed the
Holocaust. But Jews have some stupid idea. This is again, I'm
just reading this have some stupid idea. The polls were
helping the Germans which is a lie. If you look at the
Wikipedia and of course Wikipedia is now the truth.
Apparently, rescue of Jews by polls during the Holocaust.
Holocaust note Poland was the only German occupied country
that was helping Jews who were punished by death, then you have
the list of Righteous Among the Nations by country. And then
this is a lot of
Yeah, couldn't been Nazi propaganda. That would be a good
one. Thank
you. It's very a lot of deep rooted issues. And but this is a
I had no idea. This is a visit the polls are very angry. Very
angry about this should
bring it up more in conversation. Yeah, I know we
can we asked to do them a fit, you know, oh, are you always
what we need from you guys?
I was like, stop this. But I understand. All these countries
are part of the waiver program. And then it's like, oh, you
can't and you can come in? No, I am. I know. I know. A lot of
Polish people. I like him here. And what is wrong with us with
our immigration? What is our problem? Are we an immigration
country?
Well, only if you sneak in?
Well, it is true. You know, if you come in on a on a tourist
visa or the ESTA waiver, and you overstay and you don't leave you
that's how you essentially become a get your green card,
and you can become a citizen. But maybe this is maybe just we
don't really talk about this immigration stuff on the show,
because I really don't understand what is the problem?
What is everyone afraid of? Is it because we've become such a
welfare state that now everyone wants to keep everyone else
away, so they won't get their shit? And that's not how it used
to be? Well, you
never used to be a welfare state.
Thank you. That's it. Well, that's all I'm saying. There
used to be a welfare state and you came here and you either
made it by working hard fitting into some kind of part of a
system, or you had to leave because you didn't work out. And
if you really worked hard, that was the American dream. And now
it's just getting by and we got minimum wage, Jack Nup. And we
got all these programs and I don't understand what are we
supposed to do?
Well, I don't know. I think you're gonna just have to do on
your own juices to shut up. Okay, so what if I told you some
really famous guy who started Westwood one has cloned
something that probably dates back seven years is very old
fashioned? What website if I was to describe a website to you
tell me what website this would be? It's got a bunch of
different podcasts on it that are really not the company's
podcast, but they have them on the homepage and you can click
on any one of them. Okay, yeah, and a background is black. Oh,
always. Gotta be black. Yes, that's correct. These kinds of
podcast systems and these other podcasts, his alien podcasts are
all aggregated against this black background really okay,
and they end and you could make like your own show, you could
stream like a bunch of different podcasts and YouTube. And now
you're, and then you could slip advertising into
the in between the podcast or in the podcast. I don't know if
you can do it in the podcasts or not. So let's talk to
the famous norm. I know norm I've met norm. Well, he has
cloned pod show.
Really now,
all you have to do is go well first play the thing. This is
norm Pattis. On podcast,
no single radio owner could own more than five radio stations,
five AM's and five FM's as not in a market that was in the
country. So there were no 400 pound gorillas, you know, if you
were in the business of producing shows, like I was,
there was always somebody, if you had a decent program that
was probably going to give you access to most of the markets in
the country. That's not the case today. With deregulation, the
major radio groups can have virtually literally limitless
ownership of, of stations in markets. And it's not unusual to
have one station owner own five 810 radio stations in the
market. So the competition among individual stations and
individual formats is not nearly what it used to be. And
consequently, it's very, very difficult for independent
producers to get the kind of distribution that you need to be
able to have a national audience to sell to national advertisers
who are the primary way that our programs get funded.
So podcast one, what's your business model? How does it
work?
Wait a minute, podcast one, podcast one, what's your
business model? Let me guess. Hmm. Let me think, oh, no, I
just have to hear what this guy is gonna say. Hello, hello, is
2004 calling for norm Pattice
it's very simple. I mean, it's very much like the old Westwood
one business model, when, when we started syndicated radio
programs, sponsored by national advertisers was not an industry.
There were a few of them, you know, but it wasn't an industry.
We consolidated. You know, basically, we didn't
consolidated what we did is we aggregated content, and then we
started producing our own content. And then we went out to
the advertising community evangelized and made them aware
of an opportunity, you know, for national distribution of, of
their of their radio commercials to an audience, which, which
they weren't taking, we're doing the same thing with audio on
demand or podcasting. We're going to them, we're explaining
what it is we do, how we reach a, you know, a really huge
audience. I mean, our programs are downloaded over 120 million
times per month. That's a big number. That's a big opportunity
to big opportunity to talk to a lot of people and to reach a lot
of consumers and start out by being supported by the
advertising industry. But then develop long tail approaches,
which may not require advertising in order to be
supported, may or may simply require, you know, subscriptions
from people who really want to consume that
program thing go Boom shaka laka
Wow, all right. That is the famous norm Pattis recreating a
business model, which has he's known to not work years ago
known to not work and how is that going to work out norm when
when you have Toyota? And you've got some guy saying well, you
know, I heard that Poland is angry about blowing America and
not getting in the Visa Waiver Program. Here's how it goes norm
Okay, let's see. Hello, Norm Yeah, yeah, Norm Yeah. Hey, this
is this is Tom down and I'm the Chief Revenue officer. Yeah, you
know this podcast one thing you've got going on you really
liked it we got the sales material out there and as you
know, the upfront was great we got a lot of buy in and Toyota
you know, they're having a little problem with this this
show you have like
brand safe your brand
Well, we maybe we have a different understanding of brand
safe norm because of this thing about Jews and Neo poles that
didn't go over well with the with the car company.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm telling you. This is so
stupid. But go look at his page and you'll see what it is. Is it
Wait a minute, let me guess podcast one.com
That's something like that. Yeah. And it looks like pod
showed circa 2003 Ah, Ah and I guess he's read the seems like
he's vs Ron Bloom reincarnate
the Brody Jenner podcast. Oh wait, let me guess he must be a
Kardashian. Yeah, but she
was they have a bunch of they have all the regular versus
snarky podcast. They do some of their own and their own and
they're all these horrible they don't download for
crap they have the Adam Carolla show here. Yeah,
that's the that's the aggregation part of it makes it
look as though he's like producing Adam Carolla when Adam
Carolla has his own network.
Are we on here? No, we can't be on.
Too much about about the Polish blow jobs.
were banned. No, there's no no agenda in here were banned. Non
brand safe. five simple steps to listen. Let's see. Oh, Kathie
Lee Gifford explain. Oh, oh, hold on a second. John. Stop the
presses.
There we go. Cat.
Let me just get let me put this on the on the on the proper
machine here. This is Oh my goodness. I were so lucky.
Kathie Lee Gifford is going to explain how easy it is to listen
to a podcast. Let me patch her in. I didn't know
she was good. Like getting get the stream at all. Yeah. And
what's a YouTube video? So
hi, everybody. I'm Kathie Lee Gifford and today, I want to
demonstrate for you in five simple ways. For you to listen
to my new weekly podcast on your mobile device.
I hereby apologize to the universe for allowing this to
take place. I'm sorry that it has come to this. This is the
jumped the shark moment of podcasting.
Step one, using your smartphone or tablet, download the free
podcast one app from either the iTunes App Store or Android
Marketplace. Remember, it's free, it's free. Step two,
launch the now download an app on your mobile device launch it

search feature. Step four, select the episode and guest
interview you would most like to listen to. And that's going to
be the hard part you guys, honestly, because I've had so
many amazing guests come on my mask. Use your time wisely.
Choose the one you like best. And then listen to another one.
Let's do another one. And step
five. There is no step by this I can't help you with you're gonna
have to do this on your own. And joy is Kathie Lee and company
with whatever guests you pick. And then go to the whole thing
again. Pick another one. Go ahead Level. Level two. I
like Hey, John. Go ahead live a little.
I do. Yeah,
pick one live a little the no agenda. Thank you very much.
That's uh, no, I can handle a lot. You know, we're killing
brown people everywhere. But this this is depressing. This is
very bad.
I thought you'd get a kick out of it.
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel about this. I wouldn't mind
if they put our show in their directory.
Yeah, they probably get no views. Anyway, so what yours is
amazing. I think it's
let me play this clip. I'm sure this clip will get us into the
podcast one store.
I had an accounts from a former nurse at Broadmoor, who when
they were a student, had a conversation with several at
night. It was a quiet night, and Savile was talking to this
student nurse about what happened when it was quiet at
least general infirmary and, and said that he went to the
mortuary at night and played with the bodies and committed
sex act on them.
Bingo Boom shaka laka
This is so good. This story gets better and better.
What is this? That's
Jimmy Savile?
This is now the new establish is one of those guys? Who's a
necrophiliac Yeah, there was a club in New York. I heard you
this was passed around. Actually check to check on some names and
make sure these people are all dead because, you know, we
talked about when they're dead, right. But there was a
necrophiliac club in New York City that was in the back of a
mortuary. Oh, yeah. It was gonna be in the in the in the
biography of Hans von Bulow. Oh, because apparently, he was one
of the members along with a couple of very famous American
playwright and some others and they would go into this place
and it was it was set up with a backdoor. There's a lot of crazy
clubs in New York. And this is one of them. And I think this is
just goes on and these some of these joints that's pretty
weird. It's weird. Hey, who died this week?
Two quick things about the United Kingdom of GIBBO nations.
Before we get out of here. It's my job to keep us on time to
very disturbing items. The UK column, which is I think UK
column is a it's more a website than anything and they publish
alternative news. They're definitely anti mainstream. And
they also do a I think it's a monthly or maybe even a
quarterly podcast, just a video basically on YouTube. And they
received a letter from a T vo D. This is the authority for
television on demand a subsidiary of off comm which is
essentially the UK is FCC. So it's at VOD as as we're heading
this way. Yeah. This is the podcast license, gave notice to
UK column that as a result of a statutory instrument amendment
to the 2003 communications act. UK column is required to notify
the authority for television on demand that it was running an on
demand program servers and they have to pay a fee and they had
need to submit to regulation, apparently, because the program
they produce is quote, television like. And they've and
they put a very funny video where they're sitting in the car
with the baby seat and saying, oh, let's do oh, let's not make
it to television like because you know, then we're getting in
trouble. So they lay the Oh yeah. At present ad VOD claims
to exist in order to prevent harmful material becoming
available to children and to prevent hate speech. That's why
it has to be regulated, of course. So any, this is how I
read this. Any government here? Yeah, any video on demand
service Television Video on Demand needs to be regulated to
prevent harmful material for children and hate speech? Yeah.
Anyone submitting to the current light regulatory framework joins
a fluid and evolving regulatory framework with potentially
draconian financial penalties. The penalties allowed for this
add VOD to the Communications Act 2003 amounts to 5% of the
regulated organizations turnover, which I think is
gross, or 250,000 pounds, whichever is the greater amount.
Yikes.
So they got an enforcement note. This, even though they they
really are a blog, you know, a big I think they also print
something quarterly. They gave the UK column 10 working days to
comply with the demands. And become part of the regulatory
regulator says what a great way to shut people up. And yeah, and
you're absolutely right meant to us coming to us, you bet. Very.
And we need more people need to be talking about this. Now it's
not their main business, so it's not going to hurt them. But
what's next? Who's next?
Well, let's see what other videos people that we know,
personally, that produce a product a video product with it,
and they use the video only on TV a lower third.
Yes, that's very television light comes underneath
you and it's fades in and fades out seems like television to me.
Yeah, television, that little thing in the corner that says
full screen.
And even better. If you say it's video on demand, that would be
the definition of what they regulate video on demand. You
can be very careful with these things. I want to make very
clear, we're a podcast we're a little itty bitty podcast. But
we do have podcasts licensed.com.
Yes, and then regulate that we were self regulating.
And then there was a and this is also from the UK which seems to
be beta for everything new world order. They have been looking at
having the transportation system but in particular the bus
services in London go cashless. And they came out with a
consultation report from the Mayor of London. And they
essentially they asked people what do you think about going
cashless? You know, so not being able to pay for the bus with
cash, which of course is a war on cash. And here's the
questions they asked. One, do you agree with the proposal? Yes
or no to? If no, please tell us why and what we can do to make
the proposal acceptable, which is essentially a fait accompli
right there. So if you don't like it, how can we make it so
you do like it? And three, do you currently use cash yes or
no? Well, overwhelmingly 25,330 67% of the respondents
said no, they do not want the buses to be cashless. And 32%
said, Yes, we do. The people now it wasn't actually a lot of
people who used cash. Who didn't agree. This is pointed out in
the survey and again, this is a Federer complete is going to
happen no matter what this is. Just how can we make it easier
for you to understand that you need to live in a world without
cash. The most common reason for disagreeing with a proposal
amongst cash users was their lack of familiarization with
oyster now oyster is the very big disputed card, it's been
hacked in the Netherlands. of its complete tracking attracts
you everywhere, it's RFID. It's it is a slave ID is what it is.
Other non cash users are worried about the impact on other people
such as tourists, visitors and lone travelers. And broadly a
third of people who responded welcome the proposal as a way to
maintain bus service and keep fares down. Because they were
told it will mean faster journey times more reliable service, it
will reduce crime associated with cash transactions and
moving cash around. And savings will help keep fares down and
services running. Now, here's what is interesting what I
noticed, as I read through this consultation, they have a nice
document about 15 pages. The main the way they're going to
usher this in which I think is very interesting, this card. One
of the main points is people who need to make unplanned journeys
such as hospital or to get home from the hospital, people have
vehicles or broken home, if they don't have an Oyster card, then
you basically so you don't have this slave ID card and you can't
participate in the system, cash is no longer valid. And they had
all these stakeholders. So now now we're done with the
citizens, thank you very much, you don't agree we're going to
find a way to make it agreeable for you. And here is the main
point that kept cropping up against amongst all the
stakeholders. Here's the GLA transport committee, we would
want those without bank accounts not being able to automatically
top up and lower income households should be able to go
into negative balance on the card. You see what's happening
here, John? Yeah, they're, they're turning your travel ID
into a credit card. Yeah, every single one of them says, You
should be allowed to go into negative balance on your trip.
So if you didn't have enough money, then that's okay. Don't
worry about we'll just we'll credit you. And this is very,
very dangerous. With in one fell swoop, they are removing cash
from a very important part of the system, and turning that
into a credit
facility,
which I'm sure will be extended in many different ways. It's
just the beginning. This is just the tip that's being slipped in.
And the conclusion is we believe a robust plan is in place to
respond to the current concerns people have raised in the
consultation, and are proposing the following mitigations. And
right there at the top the rollout of a new oyster feature
allowing passenger with insufficient funds to go into
negative balance. This is a this is really the beginning of the
end.
No, well, I spent the beginning of the end for a long time. True
that we've talked about cashless societies. And that's what they
loved that idea. Because then you really screwed if they want
to, you know, you want to keep the guy from going anywhere you
get to turn off the car on this card off your car, car, turn his
car, turn his car off, turn his car off, right, and then turn
everything else off. And then this time they better get you
know, I don't know what do I mean, you can just just too much
control from the governor government control the
individual's singular activity. Going from point A to point B, I
can't even do it. No. Wow. It's a ridiculous a society if the if
you get to that point, and that's where it gets to whatever
thing is headed to. I mean, as far as I can tell, why would you
have something like that? Because it's costing too much
money to count the money.
Well, Brittany, we've
been convinced and it's a part of the whole phone and wearables
and everything that cash is lame, it's outdated. It's wrong.
It's makes no sense. And germs. It's It's dirty. Yes. Makes no
sense. You can't have cash. This is stupid.
Oh, there you go. Well, good luck.
I got one more if you want. I don't know what you want
to do. Oh, might as well. Shows going too long.
No, it's not. We're perfect. Three hours. You want to quit?
No, no, I want to hear this last thing.
Okay. It's a two parter. Oh, this is the Alan cone. He is
responsible for the quite the quadrennial quadrennial Homeland
Security Review. And this is the Department of Homeland Security,
and they have to do a review of all these incredible important
programs that they are running through. And it's quadrennial
mean, I think, once every four years.
That's what it sounds like. Yeah, it's like the World Cup. I
was at the same time as the World Cup. So every time there's
a World Cup, we know there's gonna be one of these,
it'd be great easy to remember. Yeah. And, and so he and I, of
course, I watched his two hours of this talk that he gave, and
it was just the people in the audience were clearly trying to
figure out how to act and how to make money off of this. And
here's a couple of pieces that I picked up. And in particular,
this, this notion, which I need to discuss,
and in the review, and a companion document, soon to be
released, we talk about the different models and archetypes,
the ways of thinking about interests, and outcomes and
aligning them under common archetypes, and models. And we
do this as a tool not only for ourselves, but for the entire
enterprise to think about how we can use public private
partnerships most effective I
love this. By the way public private partnerships and media
means all these commercial companies working and sharing
with the government, your information, your data to
protect you from yourself, I guess,
to reach our common ends. Our renewed emphasis on countering
terrorism using an improvised nuclear device on advancing
rational common common sense comprehensive immigration.
Love. This is a high improvised nuclear device common sense
regulatory framework for immigration, warmth,
and advancing national preparedness and resilience
under the mechanisms of the national preparedness system,
the post Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act, and
presidential preparedness directed aid, all of which set
up a comprehensive national preparedness system for
prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and
recovery. You are now in the system as citizen
Presidential Policy Directive eight. Okay, the term national
preparedness refers to the actions taken to plan organize,
equip, train, and exercise and build and sustain capabilities
necessary to prevent protect against mitigate the effects of
respond to and recover from those threats that pose the
greatest risk to the security of the nation. The term security
refers to the protection of the nation and its people vital
interests and way of life. That's pretty broad A, we need
security for our way of life. Well, I would say my way of life
is being hampered by the security. I can't travel normal
anymore. The term resilience refers to the ability this is
all from President Obama's PPD eight. The term resilience
refers to the ability to adapt to changing conditions and
withstand and rapidly recover from disruption due to
emergencies. And the term prevention refers to those
capabilities necessary to avoid prevent or stop a threatened or
actual act of terrorism. Prevention capabilities include,
but are not limited to information sharing and warning,
domestic terror, counterterrorism, and preventing
the acquisition or use of weapons of mass destruction,
which we know is qualified as pretty much a cherry bomb is a
weapon of mass destruction by the definition. For purposes of
the prevention framework called for this in this directive, the
term prevention refers to preventing imminent threats. And
then as a couple more, but I want to talk for a moment about
this concept of the improvised nuclear device, also known as a
dirty bomb. And atomic Rob Adams, I promise this has a
great post on his atomic insights blog from Larry grim.
Larry grim is a former Navy naval officer who has dealt
specifically with nuclear devices and with what we would
understand as improvised nuclear devices or dirty bombs. And
there's a I just want to pick a few quotes from this great
article. As 27 years experience working with a wide variety of
radioactive materials and their uses his personal insights, help
he wants to help equip citizens with what he considers the most
effective tool available in the fight against terrorism. So what
is a radiological dispersion device? Or what we would call a
dirty bomb? What when you when you hear dirty bombs on what do
you think as a and i By the way, I thought the same problem as
you as a citizen, what do you think this is? What does it
mean?
Somebody's got a bomb, and they pack it with a bunch of
radiologic waste, like from the hospital or some maybe they
didn't get some uranium dust. Or maybe they had plutonium be kind
of cool. And then they pack it around the bomb, then you light
the bomb off and makes a mess and blows this crap all over the
place. And
what is the actual danger of the crap that's blown all over the
place?
Radioactive? Yeah. Well,
it's like a health hazard depends on the stuff it's
plutonium. It would not be Good.
So here's what he's saying. He's saying, uh what so this is a
weapon designed to spread radioactive material over an
area radioactive materials can be spread via conventional Dirty
Bomb an aerosol device or through waterways. What is the
biggest concern from a radiological dispersion device?
Two things. Number one, the irrational fear it can induce.
And number two, the expense of the cleanup. The possibility of
radiation actually hurting anyone is quite small in a dirty
bomb example. I like this. fear and panic kill people,
radioactive materials or chemicals. Sometimes it's easy
to clean them up. Sometimes it's not. For example, cleaning oil
off concrete is hard but picking up chunks of metal is easy. If
you suspect a chemical agent is used as in a dirty bomb, do not
seek shelter in a low space like a basement most chemicals are
heavier than air and will settle in low spaces. If it goes off in
your area, there are four simple protection techniques contained
and controlled distance shielding and time. Radioactive
Materials are rarely immediately life threatening. People think
when you say Dirty Bomb, I guarantee you most people think
it's like a hero, Hiroshima, you know, I mean, like a big
mushroom cloud or some I disagree with that. Really, I
think Oh, I totally thought that no.
explained the depth on these shows really,
I've never heard this explanation. He said, in most
cases, it would be essentially the effect of an x ray at
moderate distance
probably depends enough was plutonium. I disagree with that
too, because if it is plutonium it gets in particle form. I
mean, you reason one particle, a couple of particles and you're
subject to all kinds of problems.
He says a 99.999% of radiation exposure has no effect is felt
or seen. If I went towards the blast area to help someone I
would not fear the radiation. However, I would be cautious and
respectful of the radiation, it probably be less radiation at
the blast spot. Therefore, I would use the following
techniques no matter if I was escaping the area trapped in the
area or going in to help keep radioactive chemicals off and
out of your body button up clothing and wear a mask.
However, if I need to be near the source, I make sure I'm
downwind of the source. Now there could be a nasty chemical
associated with a radioactive bomb. So even if I felt slightly
ill, I would seek medical help immediately distance. Even in
the worst bomb scenario, you'd be safe from the radiation if
you get just a couple blocks away and get upwind of the
potential airborne material. Think of it as standing next to
a campfire don't get too close to the heat radiation it could
burn you but it far enough away. You do not get any heat exactly
like a campfire. You do not want to be in the smoke. So get up
wind. I didn't know any of this. Okay. And I think I've been
propagandized about these dirty bombs dirty bomb and but the con
the senator we're listening to, but dirty bombs we can just
learn. I don't know how you missed the memo. Well, it
doesn't make any sense to me that you think that be honest
about it. Um,
I've never really thought about it. But I was just kind of
assumed. I think I saw some movies or something about a
dirty bomb. And eventually everybody dies. You can't help
it. It's just a matter of time. And I don't know I was I was
pleasantly surprised like, oh, that doesn't sound too bad. I
can put that in my my go bag. As a prep as a doomsday mask. A
mask. Mask is a good idea. A gas mask, I presume? I was
surprised. I
really am glad that you finally came to your senses on this
matter.
I think it is being overused to terrorize people, for sure.
It's all
about terrorizing the public now. Everything is in fact the
fact that dirty bombs mentioned over and over and over again
recently, and then you brought it up. I'm now thinking at some
sort of an on an ongoing meme. Because someone's going to set
one of these things off on the on the six week cycle.
I somehow I just don't see that happening.
Well, it could be thwarted. A dirty bomb. bout to go off. This
time. They're not going to screw it up like they did in Boston
and thwart the explosion. And it's going to be a huge scandal
and then all the shows for the next two weeks are going to be
what if
you know, it'll be great for podcast one. Kathie Lee can do
hours of material about it.
Cast one. Okay, I'm done. Me too, that you get that audio out
of your system, right.
I hope someone learned from that I had no idea. Clearly, all I
need to do is just ask you in the future.
Cool in that case?
Where do babies come from?
That's coming up in the next no agenda,
