There is a really cool pictures are you at this Booker? Adam
curry, John C. Dvorak.
Sunday January 11 2015. Time for you gizmo nation media
assassination episode 686. This is no agenda from the sickbay to
the city by the bay and I'm live from FEMA Region six in the
capital of the don't Star State Austin, Texas in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where they close the Golden Gate
Bridge on me. I'm John C. Dvorak. Raglan Buzzkill.
My voice cracking the opening sounds good. Oh, man. Yeah.
Cool. All it shows the crack brothers.
So you had the you go. You had the lingering cough from the
flu? Yes, I still have it. Yeah. Oh, really? Oh, man. This is now
two weeks for you. When I checked the lingering
cough, it's no big deal. I started calling until you start
calling. Yeah, right.
Yeah, I for me, it was a sore throat.
Yeah, a sore throat. I had a sore throat during the process.
Didn't get that bad, but it was annoying. It was one day I think
of sore throat. Just bad. Hey, you still have a sore throat.
It's just a little twinge. Ben. I actually was okay. And then I
made a huge mistake last night. Okay, I had a piece of
bittersweet chocolate.
That shouldn't do anything. I
didn't think it would do anything. Man. It just kicked
in. Maybe there was some maybe there was something in it, but
maybe you're alert. There's some allergen and there must be
something in
there. And it just just kind of brought everything back and I
was I suck some lozenges
logic literally how many people that came back from CES are
gonna hit? It's gotta be a hotbed of
activity. Yeah. Well, Christina is here and I've just been
trying not to get her sick. But I don't think I was contagious
anymore. And of course, you know the kids here so I can't be
laying around in bed being sick. That's not fun.
Right. So I better intended anyway.
Here's how it goes. No, I'm fine. Come on. Let's party. Hey,
John. Ah, I think France is on board.
Francis is on board.
I think we finally got him on board.
Oh, yeah. You mean with the police state? Security System?
Yes. Very state. Yeah. I
think they're on board now. Time they were reluctant, but
I think we matter of time.
I think they understand the message. Now. It's like, you
gotta be on board with everything. Yeah, my goodness.
It's Is it truly and of course, I'm following A LOT OF THE
EUROPEAN NEWS through multiple channels through the Dutch
channel is very interesting
to see and it's probably a little skewed, I would think
well, of course it is, of course. But skewed towards a
European perspective, or maybe an anti European perspective.
You could say this, this brings the whole immigration thing back
to the forefront and right into the wheelhouse of shared
fielders Marine LePen and others. You know, the Nazis
obviously that's what I'm sorry, they're all Nazis and the you
Kip racist Nazis races Nazis. Horrible, right? The
biggest kick out of way people all when you bring a view Kip.
There are races group their races, races, races that they go
on. And but there's no, I mean, well, there's members of the
party that Yeah, but there's members of the Democratic Party
that are racist. There's members of the Republican Party that are
racist. Sure. So what
here is Nigel Farage, this kicked up some dust. And it is
one phrase in particular, which you can interpret in multiple
ways, which I thought was interesting.
All you had to reach out to you let's find the worst way to
interpret it. Of course, this was sent to me
by even David Cameron interpreted it in the negative
way. This was sent to me as play this, when it noted the voice,
play this. So he is
racist will prove to you
that I think there was a very strong argument that says that
actually, what happened in Paris today is a result. And we've
seen it in London, too, is a result I'm afraid of now having
a fifth column living within these countries. You know, we've
got people living in these countries holding our passport
that hate us. Now, luckily, their numbers are very, very
small. But it does make one question, you know, the whole
really gross attempt at encourage division within
society that we've had for the last few decades in the name of
multiculturalism. I want us to live in a year where we trade
together, cooperate together and have friends together about what
is happening in Europe. And we're seeing it between Greece
and Germany with increased antipathy between those
countries because they've been forced together inside the
straitjacket. It of an economic and monetary union. And indeed,
I would argue that the free movement of peoples has actually
increased tensions between European countries. And we're
now further apart from each other than we would have been.
So Nigel, of course takes us today immediately towards his
platform. Excuse me, but the term fifth column is what kicked
up all the dice in the controversy. Yes. Saying that
this would be the day we're the fifth column. I'm reading from
the onion. We haven't played the jingle in a while, we probably
should do that too. Which we often do Wikipedia. So the fifth
column is any group of people who undermine a larger group,
such as a nation or a besieged city from within. Now, this can
be interpreted in two ways. One is, it is paralyzing the nation
that it is like an ant colony. The other one can be deemed as a
resistance movement. So you can interpret it multiple ways and
the person who really use this the most, most interestingly, it
was credited with using the term Madeleine Albright
for when what sense
Madeline Albright in lengthy account of German sympathizers
in Czechoslovakia in the first years of World War Two, reserved
it for the possible response to a German invasion many perhaps
most of this Sudeten so Dayton's would have provided the enemy
with a fifth column. Okay. But anyway, I think what the way it
is being interpreted is all UKIP and Faraj and of course this
goes for
this is about the least why would somebody think that this
was bad what he said
because they feel it is racist
racism
it's a it's a misnomer because what the problem is the polls
and who are working in Italians everyone who was running into
the UK on the freedom of movement and you know the the
legality to work in any EU country taking away the British
jobs it's nationalism which is what it's about nationalism is
different Yes, but it's been good it's been called racism
mainly by people who are I think Polish who want to go work in
the UK and take away the UK jobs that would be
hard. Yes, of course. Here's here's here's the kind of a
downside my
my sister does that too. It's it's fantastic.
I've had no I've heard this story no place else. This is a
downside of one of these ever this issue this kind of plaguing
the budget. Some of the EU specifically the UK play this
clip traveling crime ring hitting London.
Low Cost flights and visa free travel may be enjoyed by
tourists across the EU but now enjoy the kind of passenger is
taking advantage of cheap trips. Traveling gangs are highlighted
as Europe's new criminal threat. Laura Smith takes a look at why
Britain's new number one destination for this.
Here at Heathrow Airport, a plane takes off or lands every
45 seconds. They're carrying the usual tourists and business
people and another kind of passenger criminals, cheap
flights and visa free travel inside Europe. I mean mafia type
gangs are flying in criminals from Eastern Europe, doing a
space of robberies and then flying them out again before the
police can catch up with them. According to the chief of Euro
pole, organized gangs are bringing criminals from places
like Romania and Bulgaria specifically to commit crimes
particularly old school ones like house burglaries and
jewelry store robberies, they can then get out of the country
almost immediately to be replaced by other groups are
unwilling participants to in December, Scotland Yard revealed
that trafficking victims were being brought over by UK based
gangs for robbery weekends in London designer clothes shops.
Plane ticket record suggested the gangs were blocked booking
seats on budget flights.
Hey, John, let's go do a little road trip. Everybody. It's the
coming to rob you in the UK. This of course is stirring up a
lot of noise and on MSNBC. This is Christopher Dickie do we know
who he is columnist from Newsweek? No, we know this guy
know? Well, he's analyzed that as
such. The bad news is there were attacks on at least three
mosques and prayer rooms in France over the last last day
day and a half in reaction. obvious reaction to the Charlie
Hebdo events. And in the broader context, this is good. This is
an issue that's going to be used very effectively and cynically,
by the far right politicians, not only of France, but
especially in the rest of Europe, places like Dresden,
places like the Netherlands, where, what, what is their
message? Their message is essentially, that kill people.
They don't like immigrants. They don't like Muslims. They don't
like foreigners. Their message, if you want to just take all the
coding off of it is essentially racist and xenophobic. But in
order to avoid
There you go There it is racist and xenophobic, that this is
where it comes from, from a guy who I don't think lives in
Europe, racist and voice being called
racists and xenophobes. What do they say? They say we don't like
Islam? And why do we like not like Islam, because Islam is an
intolerant religion, and therefore, we in Europe cannot
tolerate those intolerant Muslims in our midst. It's a
very effective argument. It's one that's been politically very
successful in the Netherlands, for instance, and it is going to
be fueled really, to a white hot level that by this incident, and
any further incidents that take place,
yeah, well, that may be the intent. Has anyone thought of
that? Maybe
maybe the intent maybe that's
just the intent. Spain is now proposing to introduce border
control between the Schengen countries just to be a little
background on the Schengen agreement. This was a part of
the Treaty of oneness, a treaty of Rome, but it all folded into
of course, the Lisbon Treaty and what is now known as the EU.
1985 is when this started with I think the first five, five
member states of the EU, then the European Economic Community,
did they this is like boiling frogs. This has been going on
for a long time. A bit like
it was peculiar when you I mean, the idea, the previous clip to
when I ran, which was the the gangs, yes, which can now just
roam around freely. And that report continued, and they
discuss how, you know, the police in, in London, they once
the guys leave the country, you have no idea where they went.
And if you didn't know, they wouldn't get any help from these
other people anyway, you can't do Romanians aren't gonna give
you the information that they're gonna bring to Ukraine, or
Ukraine into the EU that will really make things funny.
Well, they're not bringing Ukraine into the EU, that's not
going to happen.
That you know, that's what they want.
That's why I'm just saying that now. I mean, it could
take a day. Okay, well, they got enough bad countries, you know,
bad and bad countries that are kind of crime ridden, poorly
managed crappy countries. And Bulgaria, Romania, come to mind
how many Romanians? Do we have that contribute to the show? I
don't think there's any whatever they
are not all the all just because the domains they're not all
crappy. And then all
the country, what do you say? Well, maybe I sound like you Kip
racist john@curry.com My god I've ever heard was to me that
you're getting this systematic process systematic problems that
they're not going to they're not resolvable in the structure that
they have existing which is the EU structure just neither good
structure stinks.
Oh, I agree. But that's exactly what they're doing now is
they're they're saying oh, you know, now we need political
union now we need to have the banking union that's the most
important one control the money you can control everything. And
then it's going to be and we should probably have a you know,
like an EU police force or something you know, recognizable
by their fine looking armband. They
did discuss in that report II was something called EU poll.
Yeah, Interpol for EU Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Eu poll. But you know,
they're like a bunch of balls wonders. I mean, they don't have
any real, but they eventually will get that. I mean, it's just
like the Homeland Security. Country. Oh, yeah. He's on on
overnight, now. They're running the place. It's gonna be
fantastic. Well, they're even. They're already calling this the
911. For France. This setting you know, there's nothing that's
been the most people killed in a single attack for 50 years. And
all the stats are, this was truly The Merv Griffin Show of
terrorism. I mean, we've got everything in this thing. We've
got Anwar al aulaqi, the underwear bomber, everybody's
connected. Al Qaeda in the AQAP is saying that they directed the
this. We did that and ISIS is saying Yeah, didn't we do a good
job? Everybody is is piled jumping. Which leads me to
believe that this is an entirely different group altogether that
actually pulled this thing off
depends on your definition of pulling it off.
But it was fantastic man with the big firefights. And then of
course you know now we bring in the Jews it's really against
Jews
Yeah, we had the now they do according to this report if you
go into play background or Yeah, I got to Paris report background
are they? There's a little tidbit in here I thought was
hilarious.
1000s of people leave flowers outside of kosher supermarket
during a vigil to honor the four hostages who were killed at the
store Friday, the large crowd included members of the local
Muslim and Jewish communities in a show of solidarity after a
frightening week.
You're in one of the most civilized countries in the
world. There's always some kind of threat. Firstly, I feel a
little bit in danger sometimes. I don't feel
Meanwhile, a global search is on for high yacht diplomat. DN.
Boy,
that was beautiful. That's that voice. Let me just roll that
back for a second. That sounds like a professional voice guy
that was just thrown in there
while he was translating so it was a transfer. Okay, that's
what it did. I feel a little bit in danger sometimes.
That was what yeah, I'm not seeing the video of course. I
don't feel safe. Doesn't matter. It really feels safe doesn't it
doesn't even matter
because that's the kicker.
The effect is the same Yeah, I don't feel so.
Global searches on for Hayat diplomat dn police believe she
may have been involved in the murder of a French policewoman.
Did you see the the still graphics of this lady?
Yeah. Well, where she's holding a crossbow crossbow men pointing
at the camera guys. Fantastic.
This is that's good. I liked that beam and beat it. That is
great. And the attack and beat it. It's just unbeatable. This
is good stuff. Whoever's producing. This is great.
Because your store they describe boom SDN as armed and dangerous.
Why is she involved? Where did she come from? She wasn't there
wasn't
even in the country at the time. But she's she's good. She's kind
of like, kind of like a perverted eyecandy if she
completes the story. Yeah, but
some reports say she may have fled to Syria, possibly before
the attacks even started. Her alleged accomplice and who cares
common law husband Amedy. Coulibaly was killed. When
police raided the store. A French radio station released a
recording said to be Koulibaly in which he lashes out at
Western military campaigns against extremists. I was
putting Muslims hadn't been attacked elsewhere. I would not
have done this, but they are attacking. But many others,
including the brother of a policeman killed in the terror
attacks are calling for calm and acceptance.
To all the racist Islamophobic and anti Semites extremists must
not be confused with Muslims crazy people have no color nor
religion.
There have been massive demonstrations across the
country to show support for the victims. And a big unity rally
is planned for tomorrow expected to draw as many as a million
people.
Not only a million people, which means it's well organized in a
very short amount of time. We have Angela Merkel, they already
had their meeting this morning along with The Cameron a bit
don't know if anyone any other world leaders have shown up. The
brother of the cop, in his actual statement said something
a little different than in that report
that amalgamate a religion Islam is a he's a religion of peace,
love of sharing is not about terrorism. It's not about
madness. Has nothing to do with that. My brother was Muslim. And
he was killed by people who pretend to be Muslims. They're a
terrorist. I said, we would like to see all the pictures when we
see my brother, on the pavement, dying, being killed
two things here now in context of what he said, you can
interpret it by saying maybe they were Muslims, but because
they were terrorists and killing people, they're there for fake
Muslims. But using the word fake is a little different than
saying these are not true Muslims. And the picture thing
is interesting. As the French officials are refusing to
release any photos of the the slain terrorists, then the
brothers very upset he's saying why can't we see the pictures of
these guys that you killed? When we saw my brother, you know,
dead for laying on the pavement?
The old missing dead guy.
Yeah, it's the we're not going to show you the picture. And why
is that? It's because just we Charlie. If you show the
pictures then it's going to incite more violence. Isn't that
exactly the whole point is to not self censor? I just don't
I'm not understanding that. Netanyahu jumps into it. I think
this is significant. What is taking place now? And I have two
examples. So first of all, was the French Prime Minister. They
have a prime minister,
as well as the president is the prime minister's that other guy,
so he
was standing up, which I thought was cool, by the way, he would
stand up amongst the people in the crowd, which, you know, our
politicians should do that instead of sitting with broth in
the studio, all cozy or the Capitol on the remote go
standing in the midst of some people. And to he and his quote
was today we were all French Jews, so he took it to the Jews.
Even though there's no evidence, I don't believe there were
yelling death to the Jews. Do we have any, any evidence of that?
No, no. Netanyahu, Netanyahu says to Celine and all French
Jews and to all European Jews. I would like to say the state of
Israel is not just the place to which you turn in prayer. The
State of Israel is also your home. And the Neo cons here in
the United States of Gitmo nation. Do you remember James
Kirchick from the foreign policy initiative? FPI the neocon
outfit I know this is the guy who this is the guy who
orchestrated Liz walls exit from RT remember, he was tweeting and
it was all set? Yeah, right. Right. Right, right. And he's
the drama queen who got kicked off RT for yelling about Putin's
anti gay laws, and you did get went on and on and on, and on
and on about it. So he writes this article? Do Jews have a
future in France? At the end, the FPI this, these kinds of
think tanks, they know how to get their message through they
know how to publish and that this is on The Daily Beast and
the guy is going to show up in interviews. And he starts off
there's no future for Jews in France as long as Europeans
refuse to confront the tacit acceptance of violence by many
of the continents Muslims, that an assault on Jews would follow
an assault on cartoonists came as no surprise. Indeed, there
was a grim if not explicitly expressed for boating in the
aftermath of Thursday's attacks on the French satirical
newspaper, Charlie Hebdo, that the Jews would come next. Did
you did you know that no, four satirist and Jews are markers of
modernity. And it is modernity that the Islamize who committed
these heinous atrocities detest most?
Well, that's an interesting meme, because that was the meme
that cropped up around 2002. In all the publications that we're
trying to analyze the 911, and this modernity thing was a big
issue. And it continued to be for a few years, and then it was
dropped like a hot potato. And I don't know why. And now is
reemerging. Big time, I think. And it's really not have it kind
of made sense in 2002. That way, because of the presentations
that were being made from both sides, but then it kind of died
because it wasn't necessarily accurate. And maybe bullcrap
from the beginning. And so they it was just completely swept
under the rug, and now they're bringing it back out for some
reason. And, yeah, you know, these guys, I mean, the ISIS
people who are probably the epitomize, they're killing
Muslims and documents going on, they will they do that too, but
they have rationale for it, that that is reasonable, but the
majority argument, I never heard it since really, for almost 10
years. It's
kind of the reversal of what Pim Fortuyn was talking about when
in 2000, before he was assassinated, and he was devout
anti multicultural society, and for integration of the
immigrants in the Netherlands, which is which really is the
problem is how the multicultural theme integrated these these new
immigrants and by the way, these countries that that was talked
about was that Newsweek guy or wherever these countries have no
problem with immigration that the Netherlands as an example
has had. Brits, Italians. They were always called guest
workers. We had Turks. We had Suriname errs, we had muckers,
we had some problems with the milkers they they took the train
hostage and that turned out bad. But an ad the Turks came after
that actually in the Turks have completely integrated because
they integrated and you know now with the Moroccans it's been a
huge issue now going on 15 years And what Pim Fortuyn would say
is they are a backward culture. So it's kind of reversing by
saying,
Ah, yeah, that was modernized. Yes. So instead of exactly
instead of saying, Nobody says backwards anymore, I mean, I did
a few minutes ago when I discussed the Bulgarians. But I,
of course, I was actually, it was
your racist now, your race? xenophobes? That's obvious.
Besides that,
I was channeling at you, Kip. Being ya know, so they've
changed over backwards. And my mother used to use that term all
the time to all those people that are backwards. And then
that morphed into this rejection of modernity. Yeah. Interesting.
That disappeared. And that just now it it just went completely
away. Now, I don't understand the point of bringing it back
into the conversation because it really doesn't fit.
Well. The only thing I can imagine is because Netanyahu is
now involved in this is to somehow bring in more attention
to Israel that Israel is going to be attacked and it sounds I
don't know. That's why else is Netanyahu jumping on this?
Well, possibly when you go back to your original argument, which
is that we've gotten friends to come over to our side may be
explaining a lot of this you might want to play this clip,
which is another one to scare the public. So let's play sleet
sleeper cells activated.
Developing news out of Paris tonight where there is a
worldwide manhunt for this woman a fourth person French police
believed was involved in recent terror attacks. You gotta
remember today during high level briefings, French police were
told terror sleeper cells have been activated over the last 24
hours and that officers should erase their social media
presence and carry their weapons with them at all times. This
comes as France and its supporters around the world are
mourning those who lost their lives this week.
The supporters of France are the supporters of the French I'm not
quite sure this that's all shortlist
Louisiana with a button now we get a bunch of cops armed or
floating around. This is gonna be it's gonna be great. I'm
sorry. I have to top you with this. Mike Rogers who was just
said Did you see his teary goodbye in the in the house? I
wish I had Oh, no, you don't. 38 minutes. I borrowed myself I'm
going to do this. I didn't have time to cut it down. But he did
a stylized piece on CNN because of course as you know, he is a
disc jockey. Now he's a broadcast
right broadcaster, yes, pronounced Decatur. So he will
be doing some kind of radio show. And he's also now
officially the terrorism correspondent, and resident
expert for CNN. And they've done a stylized piece with him, like
hanging out in some swanky CNN backstage kind of set. And he's
leaning against the table. And he's always wanted
to be in show business. And he's got
a whole little lead in music here. Check it out. And he's
gonna scare the bejesus out of you people.
We know that in places like Syria and Iraq with ISIS
members, that they're encouraged to either stay home in a place
like France, or go back home to a place like France to conduct a
terrorist activity. It's very, very difficult. There are 1000s
of individuals we believe from all over Europe and the United
States, by the way, Canada and Australia who have traveled to
Syria and come come out. Fire, it's hard to say that it's a
failure. If they don't get everything exactly right. What
it was is that we just didn't catch up in time to this
individual plot.
Oh, just didn't catch up in time. This is not a failure.
I've been
concerned when I was Chairman, I'm still concerned today, that
the sheer volume of those possibilities are just one plane
ticket away. They fight in Syria.
Now when he says that, then just one plane ticket away. This cut
from a side shot to him close up. It is it is truly
programming. It's just one plane ticket away
one plane ticket away. They fight in Syria for some
determinate period of time. They come more radicalized, they have
combat experience. They go back to their home country somewhere
in Europe, they decide they want to conduct an attack in the
United States. They buy an airplane ticket and come here
and if the intelligence services don't catch them coming in or
out of the theater of battle, like Syria and Iraq, then
they're going to be allowed to come back to the United States.
That's very, very concerning. And candidly, it is a matter of
time before something like that happens in the United States.
Candidly, candidly, some inside dirt it's just a matter of time.
You guys an asshole. Now.
Did you notice that other meme that was I didn't think much of
about until I started hearing Rogers here, but now I'm
thinking about it is the again, like you said, I think your
thesis at the beginning, which is we've got to get France under
the Securities board. Yeah. Get them all on board. Is this mean,
which is? Well, the United States had these two men on
their no fly list? Yeah. We didn't nobody paid any attention
to it. This is bullcrap. Well, this is just as a lie. Oh, well,
let's look him up. Nope. For one thing, they don't do whatever
their names are. It could be a million variations, which is the
real problem with no fly list. stuff. Yeah. And so yeah, they
were sure why would they be on the list in the first place?
Yeah, just kind of hint to us that we have our you know, our
tentacles are all over the world. And these two Frenchmen
who have never been to the United States that have you
know, somehow we have put them on the no fly list. I'm not
buying it. I think it's I think it's just a bold faced lie.
And MSNBC, Ed Schultz is preparing you for the police
state.
How much more can we tighten the grip on society to prevent
things like this? I mean, there's a great deal of
pervasiveness that's going on right now that a lot of people
object to but now when something like this comes up, when you
start talking about the militarization of police, you
start to understand it a little bit, or maybe view it in a
different light. Your thoughts? Oh, yeah. Well,
you know, as I was listening to Heather's very wise comments, I
was thinking that, yes, these attacks were professional, but
they reminded me of many of the massacres we've had in the
United States mass in the last few years that have typically
had about the same number of fatalities and sometimes more
old hat. The attack had more Newtown had more.
Yeah, so you look at it in a different light. Yes, I'm
starting to get it.
We need Now I understand why we need. We need SWAT teams and
giant army tanks and every little town because to
particular, issue a warrant for somebody's arrest for not paying
his traffic tickets. Yeah. That's why we need the
militarization of the police is bused in and you say you owe us
money for a traffic ticket.
You've been podcasting without a license. Well, that's coming.
Yeah, you know, it is.
So Ed Schultz is all in on this. Well, now it makes sense. It
makes sense to me that we have because of this, what has
happened in the United States of any consequence, especially
statistically that involves terrorist Arab terrorists or
Muslim terrorists and the things he cited the you know the
shooting from, I guess one of the Thai that tower shooting the
Virginia's University of Virginia, New Town which is
bogus and all these other ones where was the Muslim terrorists
day?
Doorman bid to stop it. actually sounds pretty good. Now it's not
there. It's not there. But this is But
dad shelf sees it? Yeah. So visionary. Yeah.
Yeah, this is, this is, this is what I'm worried about. I'm not.
There's nothing we can do about. There's a lot of people
obviously still following up didn't really shoot the guy on
the ground. And yeah, all of that's true. We need to move
beyond that kind of stuff. Because this is moving at
breakneck speed. And they expect a million people to be maybe
they already are.
The French or the French like to have big event. It's true.
That's true. And rightly so. What
do you make on general strikes and what are you eating in
France? We it's against the law, the United States to have a
general strike. What do you eat? Oh, you can't do that. Okay,
whatever you say, I won't do it. What are you eating? Because it
shuts down things. You can't shut down things in France and
you go general strike. Everybody takes a day off.
Can I ask you a question?
No. Yes. What are you eating? That's some laws and so I don't
cough. Okay. I just I put it in my mouth and then I take it out.
So I don't say you don't constantly hear that clunking
against the lozenge against my tea.
Oh, because I hear you taking it out of your mouth and putting it
back in and I hear the
noise and I think just leaving it in there. I hear the bag
noise this is what you're hearing.
I don't I don't let you hear the you know the bubbling of the
bong Yeah, come on, man. Be professional.
Well as you you have better you're more professional than i
Are you go.
That's it. I'm interesting. response from the big Oh, he's
no Zbigniew. Yeah, so they
put some oxygen on him snapped him out of it. And he came out
and said something. I think they
actually wheeled him into the studio. His daughter studio.
Miko Oh, yeah, I'm liking her more and more.
Yeah, you keep saying this. She must be doing something
hypnotic. And you're like, your phone. and four Yeah.
If only she could sing then I could switch from Team Taylor
to, to Team Mica. This is the big new Brzezinski, Brzezinski,
of course famous as National Security Adviser. He wasn't easy
to Carter to Carter. Yeah. And he, there's video of him, you
know, touching his books? Well, there's a great video of him.
His chopper touches down in Afghanistan, and he's riling
these guys up and saying all this land has to be your land,
we're going to help you take care of but you're going to take
your land back. And this was the Mujahideen, of course, who who
we armed and set up and later, arguably became al Qaeda. So he
was deeply involved in non pacifist activities. And of
course, yes, his book, The Grand the grand chessboard, I think
is, is the most famous one.
So when you refer to or use to write which
the pieces of of that game, as described in his book, are
fitting nicely into every single slot, but he is, if this was the
beginning, kind of of a of a World War Two, where, you know,
we've got all kinds of things happening, he would be the
chamberlain, arguing for appeasement, to go easy on the
terrorist elements.
But do we have to be patient and realize that this is going to be
a long haul challenge to us. And we have to be also very measured
in how we conduct ourselves. The most important thing we have to
do in my judgment is to avoid becoming the enemy number one of
Islam, in the eyes of the believers in the world of Islam,
I think we have to draw clear lines, and be patient, and also
be responsible, we have to preserve our rights, that is to
say the freedom of expression and the freedom to express our
views. But at the same time, we must avoid being provocative,
unnecessarily nasty, because some forms of humor directed.
For example, profit in recent times, and some publications in
Europe, were extraordinary provocative, because obviously,
we are democracies, and we have that freedom of expression. But
it doesn't do no harm to be measured, even in humor, and to
avoid engaging in forms of humor, and sardonic or whatever.
That then becomes profoundly offensive to the deepest
religious motivations of people who are insecure, who are
confronting modernity for the first time, it is easily slights
and offensive, Intolerable Acts, and can then be swept up by a
fanatical movement.
I hadn't heard the first time. There it is. This happens a lot,
by the way.
On the way the show works, yeah.
So the modernity thing that in big doing that now it's a thing.
Now it's a thing.
Yeah, that's a fairly it's been brought back into the meme of
faster meet the meme go round. Yeah.
I mean, journey like modernity. So what do we have to do be less
modern to be nice? I'm not sure I understand. I don't know
what he's talking about. But you did mention something that I
have to now relate a anecdote which is I was watching
television the other day.
Oh, no, this is not what we do.
And I'm flipping around, and I see the James Bond movie. The
Living Daylights,
this was a Timothy, this was a Timothy Dalton Bond movie, was
it you have
great memory? Yes, this is the Timothy Dalton dogs of the bond
series. Hmm. But in this movie, which was done in 1987, that's
when we were subbed. That's when the Reagan and the boys were
supporting the movie Hajia Dean, like, which I never pronounce
correctly, and they and they would go and so he's in the
Middle East during the story. This is a movie worth renting
just to see what we were what was going on in Tyre. The wood
became al Qaeda operation which was fighting against the
Russians largely because the Russians were totally cry.
Right. And they were fighting against the Russians that we
were fighting with was run by the British mid six. Like top
top erim guy was bred with a British accent. Oh, nice.
Listen, it was very, very funny. Like wow, this is this movie
because it was all pre the switcheroo.
Well, yeah, context. 1987 So this was before the wall came
for Hasselhoff brought the wall down the Hof
floor. Yes. Before a lot of things changed. So it's a very
interesting film. think it's one of the more revealing in terms
of the structure of things then I mean, the other movies are so
much fantasy it was like out of control but this was less
fantasy. I think it was just they were trying to do adult and
trying to bring them down to earth. And this was very I would
recommend to people watching this if they if they have a
couple hours that's the story
line James Bond's mission is to firstly organize the defection
of a top Soviet General when the generals recaptured bond heads
off to find why an ally of general cos cough was sent to
murder him bonds mission continues to take him to
Afghanistan, where he must confront an arms dealer known as
Brad Whitaker. Everything eventually reveals itself to
bond dough. Oh, this was human Kobe was in this one Dutch guy
and Dutch actor. Ah, okay, that you're right, that's worth the
now on that note. Christina, and I went to it's raining here in
Austin. It's freezing rain at night. Actually, it's really
crowded as crap. We said we were what are we gonna do? We went to
recycled reeds. And I think we talked about this. This is where
I brought half of them. When we moved to the to the new place in
Austin. This is where I brought half of my books and it's
connected to the Austin library and then they they clean them
up, they categorize
get recycled Reese that was what did they take clarinets and sell
them for are a
recycled? Yeah, there's an order. I have a read. Not quite.
And so you can buy a book there for buck paperbacks, 50 cents.
And the cool thing is, everything benefits the library.
So what you typically do is you go and you buy a crapload of
books, you read them, and you bring them back and give them
back. And at the same time, they have some money and they can
sell the book again, it's not a bad idea. And so I'm roaming
around and I pick up this book, that's kind of interesting.
Maybe I should buy that. And it's a small book is called The
Arabs a short history. And what's interesting, this needs
to go on the list. This was published in 1937. And it was
kind of a fluke, this professor from Harvard, Philip K hitty, h
i t t i and his buddy, they, they really didn't they were
just looking for something to do and they said, you know, why
don't we put together a little history on the A RABs. I'm sure
that's the way they pronounce it too. And they threw this book
together. And right around that time, it'd be a couple years
later, there was an insatiable need in the United States
specifically for knowledge of the Middle East. This was now
kicking in and nobody knew.
What was the was the writers name on this? Philip K hitty.
H i T TT. Okay. Yeah, the Arabs are short history.
Yeah, you got it on Google Books I'm looking.
And and so this thing became an overnight class. Were not
overnight a year later. So a super selling book. They've done
multiple revisions. It's just keeps getting published over and
over and over again.
Yeah, it's been recently published by Regnery, you and
everyone familiar with that publishing company? I'm not in
1996.
Yeah, the one I have is the 96. But it's a 2002 printing that I
have. Okay. And here's what's interesting about it, there's an
introduction and intro that kind of explains the history of how
the book came to be. And it goes through the 800 years leading up
until the 50s. I think now with the reprints, and the new
additions, but 800 years of, of the Arab in the Middle East, but
skips 400 years in the middle, which is the Ottoman Empire,
just completely ignores it, which is interesting, because it
makes the book very,
a lot shorter. Yes, it would.
But also, when you think about it, it's really that's a whole
separate deal that just almost stands by itself. But when you
look at all the leading up to the Ottoman Empire, so many
inventions and science and poetry and so much came out of
this, you know, this region and by the way, Syria, that Syria
greater Syria, I guess it's still known you start to get
some context about what's happening today. Truly was Iraq,
Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel. It was a it was a whole region.
So when you talk about, you know, the Islamic State and what
they really want, yeah, that's what
they're trying to push. Yeah. And and then it
came into context for me and I'm almost done with the book. It's
really easy to read, but you just didn't you go Oh, wow.
Okay. Now I get it. Now you understand a lot better the
differences and the symmetric which is course all people from
the region, anti semitic, not just anti Jew, and the
difference between the Arabs and the Jews, and you really start
to get a feel for it. And now I understand when the President
says degrade and ultimately defeat ISIS. He's really saying
we want the three state solution of the Middle East, we want
Kurdistan, we want Iraq, and we want this bislama do this other
thing, Islamic State, which would be, you know, Syria,
basically, but just throw everything else in it, in my
view, that's purely for pipeline reasons, or whatever, but you
have those guys manage it, but they're not that important. It
will be a transport thing only. And Kurdistan needs to the Kurds
need to be independent and need to be protected and Iraq needs
to be protected. And you can see that this is what the deal has
been all along. And it really comes into focus. By reading
this book. I highly recommend it. It's a great book. And it's
just, I was it was complete. Well, karma. I don't know what
it was because magic that it fell into my hands.
Serendipity is that word you're looking at is
the word serendipity.
All right, well, I'll take a look. I'll look for it.
Yeah, but I recommend that it's because he wants so complicated
we know what do we know about any of this stuff? No, no crowd.
We
don't want to we don't want people knowing about these
things.
Well, no, that would that would ruin it, then we can't tell them
what it is.
And he can't yell at you Kip for being racist and all the rest of
it.
What a bummer. Hey, by the way, it's going back to this to the
Charlie thing. I'm not sure if this if it was happened or not.
It was being covered up. Hell Rick Fred, who is apparently was
one of the if not the, you know, the police commissioner, one of
the lead investigators committed suicide during this whole ordeal
with his service weapon at his desk, what I know and it's it's
only being reported kind of by is not really a mainstream
reporting. So where do I get proof that this really happened?
But when you search around Helmerich HCl, Ric Frey do fr
EDOHELRC for do F or Ed oh you but well, you
Yeah. So they're saying
have you gone to google.fr looked around here? No, no, I
haven't done that. No. I just hear it is another Mossad victim
right this is I see that's the stories that I keep bumping up I
like okay fine. I would just like an official report that
says the guy killed himself from you know, like France 24 or
Lemond or give me someone who's really reporting not so
I guess you at the point of this is they're trying to Okay, so
this guy? Yeah, I know. What's it I know what the point is at
trying to say is to make it look as though this entire Charlie
Hebdo thing was Mossad Mossad to stir up shit between the French
which has a huge Arab not Arab Muslim population, and also a
huge Jewish population and huge Jewish probably stir up shit to
make you know, to get things get things to come to a head or
maybe even to get Netanyahu reelected, which is going to be
something of a challenge.
This is another thing this is another thing.
But I think this is just after the fact bullcrap.
I don't have any real evidence that this actually took place by
I just can't find a report that I feel comfortable with
a guy can be admitted to etc that even existed the hour
that he's dead or anything it's now mind you I was I'm still
recovering from the flu. I've got my daughter here. So I was a
little weak on the deep dive. I did deep dives on some things
but not on this. I figured it'd be better to rush No rush, no
rush. It'll be around.
Figure it out later.
This this thing is going to be around
Google that as far as you want to get
with somebody see a couple other things that that I had on this
in the Netherlands, according to The Telegraph, which got it from
built German publication which I would say is reasonably
respectable, former US General Michael Flynn, who I believe at
one point was dia director of intelligence. He was clear in
telling built that the these these brothers had contacts and
were in contact with other like minded terrorists everywhere,
including the Netherlands. As your next Holland, you are next
be afraid. Which honestly you should be because this, this
will happen. This more is on its way there's this as to this is
the theme. This is the just scaring people. And of course
now we've got a lot of these laws in place. Now let's not
forget that we had what's her name? Theresa May time to play
that one. I love that one.
This legislation is important. The substances, right? The time
is right. Yeah. Is everything developed his right is a
properly considered thought through set of proposals that
will help to keep us safe. At a time of very significant danger.
It has been drawn up in close consultation with the police and
security services in an open and free society like ours, we can
never entirely eliminate the threat from terrorism, but we
must do everything possible, consistent with our values as a
country to reduce the risk presented by our enemies. It is
a struggle that will go on for many years. And the threat we
face right now is perhaps greater than it ever has been.
And we must have the powers, powers. Powers well with
internal also.
Well, they got the powers they need. And if anything, if there
was any question, we need more of them.
I think this voodoo guy may have been another victim of, of
chemical, drug induced suicide. I was suffering from depression,
depression and all the rest and next thing you know, a kid kills
himself in the middle of writing the report. This is comes from
there is a but if you go to google.fr there's real reporting
on it. Good. Good. Yeah. Anyway, onward.
Yeah, unless you have anything else?
Well, I mean, I think that's all I've got, I wasn't prepared to
do too much on the French thesis is still developing. But I think
your initial thing was the board France's on board was getting
the French to get into a police state like ours. Yeah.
And I have to say that there will be very interesting because
the French, the French really do you know, they kick up a storm
man. What do we do? And I just have all these thoughts as I'm
going through it, you know, the French still go out on the
street. And of course, they don't know what the the internet
usage is in France. I'm sure it's it's retarded compared to
to the United States. Although they were very forward thinking
with the mini tail systems back in the day, which I always
thought was pretty cool. But they also kept the mini tail for
a long time while people were saying, hey, Viva viva. There.
We want to AOL, we want America Online. Please, we want fans
online if we can have it. But in America, this is the the self
license, the moral self licensing. You just go on down
on your Facebook and you say, Hey, you dam you won't bend down
on freedom of speech. Then you go and smoke some crack or meth
or whatever. And you got it because that's all we got to do
here. We don't actually have anyone doing anything because
you've given yourself the moral self license. Hey, I screamed. I
yelled at him. And I'll show those terrorists.
Yeah, it's posted. I posted a change my icon
and not a lot of people changing the icon to the Prophet
Muhammad, as I suggested, which shows me
I think somebody else had a good one which is change it to
Muhammad Ali. Just kind of just strange irony, even our
super Mossad, the guy who did Felix the Cat, what's his name?
I don't know if American guy American cartoon is famous.
Yeah,
no, Felix the Cat. Yeah, who did that guy's still alive? Who's
the guy? Okay, now you're bearish. The cat guys got a bit
been dead for 20 years. Who is the
American cartoonist in France? He lives in France now. This guy
is Yeah, this guy. This guy. What's his name? Robert crumb.
Rubber crumb lives in France now. Yeah. Yeah, that's the cat
Fritz the
Cat. I'm sorry, Fritz the Cat. Not to Felix Fritz the Cat. Keep
on truckin. That's, that's what Yeah,
Robert crumb. I met him once. Yeah. What a character just
looks like a character. What did what was the context of your
meeting?
Yeah, there was some thing going on whenever we vitalizing the
San Francisco Examiner and Hearst took it over and they had
this big party and he was one of The guy's there. And I went up
to him to ask him if he would do an illustration for a book I was
working on.
Did he shine you? Told me
to fuck off basically, it seems like so many words and then he
did an illustration exactly what I was looking for for someone
else a douche bag. Okay, now we know what he's made of made of.
Made it Oh, and and he
he was pressured that people were saying hey, man, yes,
there's no doubt about that. So he was being pressured. He was
being pressured behaved man. How come you don't do a Muhammad
thing man. Come on, man. What you doing man? And then he
copped out he did a Muhammad's ass with it like a hairy ass
with flies flying around it. And then underneath is like you know
not you know, there's like Muhammad Muhammad my friend or
maybe you said Muhammad Ali something stupid like that and
cop out. Muhammad Bock boxy. I'm sorry. The ass of Muhammad
Bakshi.
Okay, well, well, he doesn't need the aggravation.
No, nobody needs the aggravation. Yeah, yeah. The
question is, and
he's an American under underneath it all. You can live
in France all you want, and you're still gonna have
American? I don't think so. No, no, it's a good idea.
Yeah. Yeah, that well, and I think that that is true in our
completely politically correct world of the United States of
Gitmo nation.
Yeah. I think even we're politically correct. At some
level.
Absolutely. It Yeah. No, I think that's a fact. I think you at
what level do you think that is?
It's a really low level, thankfully. But it does exist. I
don't think it hurts the show necessarily. And it makes the
show probably more palatable.
Yeah, there are limits. But that's I'm only thinking of the
listener. I'm not really thinking of anything else.
Yeah, so what I'm thinking of is all we think about, we're doing
this show for a group of people that are listening to it, and
they want us to do the show. They want us to do the show for
a number of reasons. One of the reasons is because we do give
bring some insight through research that they don't have
time to deal with, but they have suspicions that a lot of this
stuff is bullcrap. And now they gotta show that tells them it is
bullcrap. Their suspicions are confirmed.
And on that note, I would like to thank you for your courage
and say in the morning to you, John, Charlene
Dvorak, and in the morning to you, Adam curry, Charlie, in the
morning to all the chips to see by the way, we also have boots
on the ground feet in the air, we have subs in the water, games
and nights out there.
Lots of subs in the water. We'll be talking about that in a bit
as well in the morning to the chat room, everyone checking us
out on the stream. No agenda stream.com is where you can find
both of them. And in the morning to our artists. So it was 20
watt bulb again, who came back with the artwork for episode
685. And that was the self censored graphic. Nice piece by
the way. Yes, I agree. It was a nice piece. Nobody was
involved I believe also sent us a story sent me at least a some
graphics for our I told them we're never going to do this. I
just was some idle chatter that we tend to do on our show.
There's things that we'd like to do or maybe wouldn't like to do
it like to talk about it. So he said it's a Golden Globes, red
carpet art, or was that tonight? Yeah, it is tonight? Yeah, yeah,
it's gonna be great.
Kind of Christina and I are going to a chickenshit. Bingo.
You're going to bingo chickenshit. Bingo. But does
that mean? Oh, you're not familiar with the chickenshit.
Bingo. No, and you can keep saying it is I'm still not going
to be familiar until you explain it.
Okay, you go to this bar and then there's a big bingo board
on the ground, you know, with numbers that can be depictions
of prizes or anything but it's too big no, no, like big like a
bingo sheet. And is there a cage around it and there's a chicken
in there. And the chicken walks around and then he takes a dump
and then whatever he dumps on that's the next number. And
chickens dump a lot.
This is known as this sounds like a Texas thing it is. And
you could be there all night. But if the chickens constipated,
now then we'll get a new chicken and you feed him things till you
throw things at the chicken. And you've got to entice him Yeah,
you'd be yell at him. Hey, man poop over there. Rather, and
there's alcohol involved?
Yeah, I'm sure probably given somebody the chicken wouldn't
hurt. All right, we have a few people to thank for the show.
686 Palindrome which sounds a little bit Palindrome nobody
picked up on it. It also sounds a lot like Intel processor. I'm
running into 686 Really good for you. We don't you we this is
getting to be a slow time of year, it's pretty obvious that
we're struggling a little bit I would hope people would pick up
the pace, somewhat anonymous from Orange County, New York
came in at the top as the associate as executive producer
at 34567. He's first and foremost capslock Dvorak for
your courage, and all the work you do for the best podcast to
get them to expand this a little bit here. Hang on.
First and foremost, thank you pod for the courage John
capslock. The more I for your courage and all the work you do
for the best while I see
Steve for capslock Jesus as these goes on forever, I should
open it was something else. I can't even get it on the screen.
I'll really Oh, you work on it. I humbly request. You bestow
some na karma from my father who was flying today, January 11. To
the belly of the Gitmo beast, Washington DC to compete to be
selected as a representative for America's road team captains.
Again, back this is basically the Super Bowl of being a truck
driver. And it means
it means the world to him to tape to be able to take part in
it. I hit him in the mouth a few months ago, and I know that he
listened to the show every week and he drives doubles, drives
doubles. Is he gonna drive triples? You know what those
are? Right? Yes to to try to two trailers. Yeah. You ever seen
that? Three? No. The triples. You will you can
drive a triple in and out of New York City. I don't think a
double double Indian crazy. You can
drive them I think it Oregon is their legal right. When you
drive by one of these things. Yeah. Anyway, knows his shot at
karma will give him the courage to do his best this week in DC
and emerge victorious. And then he sends a link to what his
father is competing in. You ever heard it is a trucking?
Well, there's lots of trucking shows.
And sort of a competition like it. Yeah.
About truck drivers, the backbone of America. Everybody
who comes to karma for your dad. You've got karma. Anonymous.
When no agenda? Yeah, yeah.
But uh, in the mornings thing on your rig. On your rig.
That is your worthy go to $50 from Miami, Florida. JCD. Has
note, John and Adam, I went, I wrote for karma for some family
members before Christmas. And I'm back. I'm in hopes it's in
my back in hopes of finishing that job. Okay, just vague.
Well, this seems a little like buying indulgences. Somebody
picked it up. She's the first one to notice this. Explain.
Well, in the Catholic Church guy to do reputation at some point
for, you know, you'd go in and you'd buy you'd give him money,
in this case for karma. And they would give you a blessing or
something or you know, something or other because of your
donation. And it's essentially it's not he said, he said
essentially twice in the sense.
I'm not going to stop you go ahead.
I'm not saying you should. I'm just saying I'm telling you, I
noticed this. And it amounts to indulgences of a modern sort. I,
by the way, I want to make mention to people out there who
notice these kind of religious connections like this particular
one. It was never our idea to sell karma.
We're not selling it. It's not being sold. That's selling
karma, but
it was never I didn't even indulge in giving people karma.
It was the listeners who demanded it.
Yes, we only did it once in a while just as a little joke and
people want it and for whatever reason seems to work for him.
Yes, we have a lot too many anecdotes to ignore the
N eyes I think it's a it's a global matrix type heard
connective thing?
It's a magic of the jingle.
Well, there's that. Yeah, it doesn't matter.
But she continues I'm requesting relationship karma for my
grandson. He needs a new girlfriend and job karma for my
daughters. They're going in the right direction but let's give
them a little push. I also think donation puts me over the $1,000
mark and that and if I'm picking my new name you have a pen
isn't that's not on the list, I presume okay. I have a little
mini pad actually for this now because
of Biscayne Bay. Dame Patricia Biscayne Bay. Then she has her
counting. Looking forward to each edition of the no agenda
show that Thank you for liberating me from listening to
the news. Happy New Year to everybody and everyone in no
agenda family.
Me I hand out the karma their relationship karma for her
grandsons. I wish she said grandson,
and then Job Corps for our daughters jobs,
jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. You've got karma eyes.
We have plain old Davey here from Texas 23456 I wish to make
this donation anonymously and he goes on the donation should put
me over the threshold for knighthood we have you down as
attested by my account a tattooed meet your approval
please Knight me assert Davey of the Sooner State. My great
grandfather was detained as a sooner in the Oklahoma land rush
of 1889 So I thought it'd be a fitting Talia with the Sooners
referral? I don't I don't Okay, they weren't getting this was
one of those periods where the government was gonna say okay,
we're gonna cordon off this state Oklahoma in this case, and
then at midnight or noon, or whatever time it was. Everyone's
getting should go and go grab some property and it's all
yours. You can homestead it. Oh, cool. And so there was a group
of cheaters
from Texas
who will probably but they took off early. They didn't wait for
that
fun American man.
They were called Sooners because they went too soon. And they
were detained they were arrested. And a lot of the the
irony of this story of you depending on who tells it is
that a lot of the students are arrested but then they were
later allowed to go grab some property because nobody took the
whole damn state. You get so many acres I believe. I don't
know what the number was. And they got the worst part. Like
what's leftover stuff that nobody wanted. That turned out
to be the places where most of the old
ones they got the taint.
Anyway, I'm starting a new adventure with my smokin hot
best friend. She likes okie Sooners a lot more than Texans.
Another reason for the sooner references with a title request.
I donated a smaller amount in October hoping for a shot at
karma when she and I got together for the first time in
more than 10 years. Although you were unable to completely honor
the request all due to my short sightedness, by the way short
sighted and this the karma came through anyway, we renewed our
friendship and now I'm on my way back to continue that renewed
relationship. Thank you and thank you for the best podcast
in the universe. Yay. Send a picture of her. So I guess we
need some karma for him. Of course. Happy to do that for you
once you got it. You've got karma sure sheets, Esquire.
23456 in Brewerton New York, lads you rock stay loud and
proud a suggestion we have knights and Black Knights
recently there was a posthumous night. Could you call a
posthumous night a white knight? May I ask for some relationship
karma rock on I remain shellacking for freedom sir
sheets. The no whitening I don't think so. Could be silent night.
That's readily my agree. All right. Yes, we don't have the
ability to count every knows that we SWAC you've got karma
schweigen for freedom. Back in karma. And finally sir Stuart
rushing in Corvallis, Oregon he comes in with a check I think
almost monthly and no note and I didn't know you emails once in a
while but nothing related to this particular donation want to
thank him and all the rest for contributing to show 686 And
remind people that we do have another show coming up on
Thursday, Thursday and mark.org/na is your target
location to visit
we'll be halfway through the month already by then go so
fast. Too fast towards that just as you get older, it seems to go
faster, which is what I think I don't know why.
There's a rat there's actually a reason for that. Okay. I don't
know what it is. But his chemical reason is something
that doesn't in your system. It goes at a faster pace or
something makes things seem like you're going time is going
faster than it is okay so yes, as you get older it seems to
explain it to us in a note and then we'll read it. I'm very
interested to get older things go by faster is ludicrous
actually. And especially makes you wonder when you go to the
store and you get this old woman probably has time to be flying
or it's taken forever to dig through her purse to get the
penny out. It's like Lady swipe already. sensitive time here
things are
pre swipe lady.
I want to make up my complaints too. De by the way,
okay, well, first let me thank all of our producers, executive
producers and Associate Executive producers for helping
us out. That was it. I know, there was very, we were in deep
trouble until Johnson out the newsletter, which these are
works of art, by the way, I have to tell you, it's works of art.
I really enjoy what you're doing with us. No, it's, yeah.
Well, I appreciate that compliment. But let me this is
something I find it peculiar. You know, we push everybody to
get on the newsletter list. And of course, then they have to
tolerate the newsletter, which is a work of art, and some
people don't like art. But what to me we promote, promote,
promote it, but people donate it, here's what I do. I have the
main mailing list. And it comes in automatically because as
people subscribe, it goes into the MailChimp automatically, it
gets added. And then I have then I go to Pay Pal and every couple
of months I I scrape all the people that donated and and put
them on the list. So everybody who donates was automatically
put on the mailing list eventually, not right away. And
it's always like, we get a lot of donations. So some are five
bucks. Some of them are very, you know, 10. But it's every
month that amounts to about 100 new people. And so I pull it
out, because when you pull it in, doesn't merge purchases. Oh,
there's 100 new names. Why didn't these people subscribe to
themselves? It's just befuddles me. My No, no, you don't I'm
saying you know what I'm saying? I'm stunned. Well, I think,
okay. I every time I bring the 100 and a new 100 people, I look
at how was 100 people that didn't subscribe to the
newsletter, but they donated it, which makes no sense to me. But
that's just the way it is, I guess.
Um, I think people are they expect to the way people usually
get on email lists and newsletters is spam. Like more
carnality it should just be here already. So I'm not I don't
know. I don't know what that is.
Yeah, there's a lot of DIY, one of the reasons I enjoy doing the
show some of the back office stuff because he'd learned these
crazy things about people's and what how they react to things,
how they do things. And it's just interesting. But yeah, it's
always baffling. Again, thank you. Not that we don't mention
that they should subscribe to the newsletter.
And the link is everywhere. On every single shownotes page
everywhere you can find no agenda, you'll see a link and I
need to do a quick plug one more time for no agenda player.com
This is the best resource we've ever had for this show. In this
category, we've had people doing translations, the transcripts of
all kinds, and then usually it peters out when people find out
that crap. That's a lot of work. But this is it's kind of like a
In fact, it's very much like a SoundCloud where it's annotated,
but not necessarily by people going whoa, funny. Hey, cool
little comments, little blips, but it's annotated by topic. And
you can go in and I'm not sure who's doing the annotation I
believe anyone can do it. And you click on it and it goes
right to that spot in the show. You can tweet a link you can
copy the link from there and send it to somebody. It's
brilliant. Brilliant, I tell you a great resource and highly
appreciated Of course, we don't do any of this work. This is all
part of you. The producers will be thanking producers later
again thank you to the associates and Executive
Associate producers real credits accepted anywhere credits are
accepted because they're real and unlike the phonies in
Hollywood will be very happy to vouch for you vora.org/a net of
course we always need everybody to do as much as they can to
propagate our formula our formula is this we go out we hit
people in the mouth
we go You
almost killed two guys this week.
You almost killed two guys. Yeah. To like real guys like
like human beings and people.
That would be amazing. Okay, we're not bicyclists. Oh, I'm
going down the road and then there's this crosswalk. And some
idiot shoots in front of me through the crosswalk as fast as
they can on a bicycle. They're not on the road. You're on a
sidewalk and you don't you don't have time to see this person was
not even in view and shoots across the cross the crosswalk
in a situation is that these bicyclists are all over the day
never stop. They're supposed to be aren't they supposed to
follow the rules of the road? Are they supposed to stop at
stop signs and red lights? Yeah, no, they go right through the
red light and they make the lead they just go on as though they
Oh When the place yes the cops do nothing about this, these
bicycles one all these oh, I want my own lane I want this I
want that and then they don't obey any rules. It's just it's
an and then you'd read you hit him almost hit him every so
often. Yeah, it's just you'd find this to be the case in
Texas it is it's in San Francisco now there's more
bicyclists screwing up things because they don't follow any
rules where they're going in the middle of the intersection
there. They got cars going every which way and they're working
their way through the cars.
I am a obviously I come from a biking nation I've learned
bicycles as transportation for from a very young age round
seven, which was a radical departure from the bicycles that
I had when I was before seven riding around in Maryland,
Kensington, Maryland on the on the sidewalks and I had to had
one of those Schwinn with the banana seat and the chopper
version. Remember that? Oh, yeah, that was a cool man. And
we had the playing cards in your spokes. You had to ride on the
sidewalk, you couldn't ride on the streets because it was just
like a recreational thing. And the Dutch bicycles are sturdy.
They're like tanks. You have big spots for big like milk crates
on the front to put stuff into carry to transport your kids
whatever. And it is a biking culture. This is the mistake
that the pro bicyclists make we have an Austin a huge bicycle
movement. I like the idea just like in New York City in
Manhattan, we have the city bikes, it's very effective and
you can grab one you can buy it, you can park it, you know, it's
even free if it's under 30 minutes that you use it however,
it is a drastic mistake. To think that anywhere that you can
just put in bike paths even and it's all going to work it will
take decades for the culture of biking to be embedded into the
psyche of the population when I drive to this day, when I make a
right hand turn I am always looking in my right hand mirror
to make sure I'm not about to cut off a bicyclist or drive
over one these things take decades before that that kicks
in here in Austin Yeah, you can ride a bike and you'll be
accepted and of course we have a biking culture from lamps Lance
Armstrong but now we have bikes really not just as racing but as
as transportation and you know the good old boys you know after
like one in the morning you do not want to be riding the bike
down Congress because the good ol boys and the trucks gonna
coal roll you because it just it's not ingrained yet so it'll
take a long time people you can be arrogant like that in the
Netherlands no one the bikes they don't pay attention to sobs
to light or anything but it's flows it works and no one gets
mad no one gets mad like I held off I'm sorry mad bumped into
you whatever. It'll take a long time. And you and I think we
will have expired before
I think that it will never happen in this country. It's
possible it's possible by the by the time it does approach in
some areas happening and it by the way, part of this is a kind
of a liberal idealism Yes. Oh, they do look at Amsterdam. Every
time oh, these people are on bicycles. It is so much better.
It will not have the list. We are a car culture. We use a lot
of oil. Oh this would be this would solve the problem of
energy. And it's all bull crap. And and we're a huge country.
You can literally bicycle across the Netherlands if you want it
to.
I've done it. I have bicycle across the Netherlands as a
young man.
Oh, always trying to shoehorn what must be better it's got to
be better. Yeah, tell it to the Dutch when there's bicycles were
stolen by the Germans. How much better didn't work out that
well.
It's the same with electric vehicles. Our country in the
United States is too big for electric vehicles is just too
big. It works great in smaller and smaller countries. You can
drive an electric vehicle across the Netherlands not back again.
But you can drive it across once it's true. Now we yeah, we are a
nitro burnin. crowd pleasing. Been one other
culture has drag racing to such an extreme. I don't think in big
tournaments. Is there drag racing anywhere else have 10,000
horsepower cars that should tell
you right there where we're coming from.
Yeah. Over it get over this You the people out there that think
we should all be drawn bicycles. You know the arrogance of these
assholes to was they used to Have they don't have it so much,
because I think they arrested the leader. But this critical
mass, which was a thing they would do on the last Friday of
the month, or some commute day on their bike, just all these
bicycles would come out of the woodwork in San Francisco and
clog up traffic, right. And everyone's dressed in costumes,
and just to make everybody's life miserable. And then one
time I was in the house, I swear, this was fun. This is
about 10 years ago, though, they stopped doing this. I think that
again, they arrested the leader. And that was the end of it.
Because always some one guy's got a lot of charisma gets
people to do this stuff. I'm shopping, I'm in the grocery,
I'm in the vegetable section of Andronikos, a store in Berkeley,
and I'm shopping and here comes about 500 bicycles into the
store. And they show these bicyclists are everywhere and
they're yelling at everybody telling us to get out of our
cars and get a bicycle. And I'm saying I'm on my feet, picking
vegetables. I don't know what you guys are talking about.
You're crazy. And then they you know, they were just gonna
harass everyone then they all took off like a rocket it was
like everyone just shot out of the store after making him was
miserable for a few minutes is guys.
All right. All right. Don't you don't like the bicycles? I get
it.
But anyway, I'm sorry.
No, it's It's okay. I understand. I don't hate the
bicycles. I I know how to live with the bicycles. I am they
come from that culture. But it's just not that simple. And that
is what you said this liberal idea. Which of course, Austin is
extremely liberal, which I like this liberal idea of we know
we'll put the bike paths in, oh, we have bike paths, and it's all
gonna be great. I'm getting a little involved in local
politics is so small.
You know, there's a bike path on MYRIN in Berkeley people should
go check this out didn't mean this. All the way up or in from
Buchanan. There is never a bike on it.
All right. The President's podcast?
Yeah, yeah,
I had to take a little Jermaine. Yeah, I had to take a little
clip of this. Because he is touting his numbers. How great
everything's going here, which arguably is true. The numbers
are good. There's people starving. It's not great.
There's people with no jobs, people falling off the end. But
he needs to tout it. And he's really he's he's listened very
carefully on how to communicate his message these days to to
other broadcasters, which I like. But of course, as always,
we have to start off with his hallmark. Hi, everybody,
everybody.
About a year ago, I promised that 2014 would be a
breakthrough year for America. And this week, we got more
evidence to back that up. It's been six years since the crisis.
Those years have demanded hard work and sacrifice on
everybody's part. So as a country, we have every right to
be proud of what we've got to show for. America's resurgence
is real. It's real. That'll be the focus of my State of the
Union address in a couple of weeks. It's real. I couldn't
resist.
It's real. You just played that just did?
I did. I no longer walk? Sorry. I'm sorry. You should be I
should be sorry.
I got an interesting report. That was I do
want to say I just want to say one thing about every single
podcast the President does is always off balance. The left
channel is always Oh, almost 50% louder than the right channel. I
don't understand why.
Because nobody knows how to turn the knob.
No one's paying attention. Hey, Brock, just heard of that.
Yeah, they just push a button and they leave the room. Right.
Okay, hit it.
So we have all this stuff going on with Russia and the
sanctions. And then and Merkel we know is a pal. Yes, of Putin
is like a buddy. And they talk both in both of them talk about
both
Germany and Russia. And they have a direct pipeline with each
other. I literally yes,
they like to chat. But she said she went all the end to some
extreme on the sanctions. And even though she was against it,
but then as she knows, is hurting Germany's economy more
than anybody's because but she's still all in and it makes no
sense. And so I found this report on Russian television, or
tea, and they, they I think are baffled by it too. And so they
deconstructed what they believe might be going on it was Merkel
and and this kind of explains it all. Although I think it's a bit
of a I'm not buying it 100% But I liked it in the leases, it
gives us something to think about
Okay, the deconstruction
political analyst and a boyish Malevich thinks that Germany's
falling America's lead on sanctions because of Chancellor
Angela Merkel's personal ambitions.
What is the next step from being chancellor of Germany for
somebody who's obviously not ready to retire and to
relinquish the limelight? Not I know, relinquish Brussels sort
of power and influence in the world. The rumors in the German
newspapers about how she's eyeing the spot of the UN
Secretary General, which according to and customed
belongs next week, European certainly suggests that they fit
the entire story. They fit the facts, they fit the behavior, if
Angela Merkel wants to become the next UN Secretary General,
and we all know that anybody who has incurred the wrath on the
United States will not stay long in that position. Or even get
elected. If they don't have the support of Washington, then the
appeasement policy towards Washington to for lack of a
better word, suddenly starts making a whole lot more sense
from the phony anger over to phone taps to the persistent
damage to Germany's economy and this US engineered conflict with
Russia.
Thank you, Artie. Why would you want to, by the way, another non
English speaking Secretary General Yeah, that's what we
need. Can we get someone who just speaks English? For once? I
don't think angle is very good at English. I've never heard her
speak English.
No, no, I don't think she is either. But she is not stupid.
Why would you want to but why would you want to be Secretary
General? It seems like a shit job.
I mean, well, that may we may be wrong about that.
It's a real power in that job. But you get to hang out with,
you know, movie stars and stuff. That's cool. I mean, I get that.
It's, uh, I don't know. Now, you mentioned it is possible that
we're, we're overlooking the the hidden power of the Secretary
General of the United Nations. While I'm wrong, you know,
yeah. But um, I mean, when it comes to the Security Council,
yeah, I understand. Because we're, you know, we're, yeah, I
understand how that works. But
like, the big bureaucrat, but that could be you know, we don't
know. We can be just the entire American public and much of the
world might be completely off base. When we think of the we
just think of the banking with these other clowns that have
been in there.
And Uncle Don is right, really. He speaks very highly of Bunky
moon which may just be a hierarchy thing. But even then,
really? I don't know I find it strange. Just seemed that maybe
mo we know there's going to be a next United Nations. I mean,
that is that's clear when from League of Nations United
Nations, we need a next one when the Trilateral Commission
decides to truly implement the new world order. i Okay, here's
where my research went. And it wasn't even that hard, actually,
when it came came down to it.
Russia will not issue driving licenses to transsexuals or
transgender people following a recent government order.
According to a report by Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty,
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed off an audit
last week indicating people could be banned from getting
driver's licenses based on their sexual identity and orientation.
The order also bans Russians with so called fetishism
voyeurism, exhibitionism and pedophilia mental disorders
obtaining an automobile license, Moscow has not elaborated on how
exactly the law will be enforced, but says it's
necessary to try and stem the large number of road accidents
in Russia. Around 30,000 people are killed every year in Russian
road accidents. According to government figures, human rights
groups have deployed the Kremlin's crackdown on the LGBT
community.
Okay. So this is
before you say anything. This is a report according to the bull
crap artists from us. This is a report from American
Radio Free Europe Radio, liberty, and I believe that they
instigated this, this this reporting, which is very good
because the BBC actually I'll pull up the BBC they don't have
a video report. And it's not it's not an attributed article,
which I didn't know the BBC did that. It's It's doesn't even say
that it came from a news organization or not. They do it
when they're told to. Russia says drivers must not have
quote, sex disorders. Russia has listed transsexual and
transgender people among those who will no longer qualify for
driving licenses, fetishism, exhibitionism and voyeurism are
also included as mental disorders. Now, barring people
from driving. The government says it's tightening medical
controls for drivers because Russia has too many roads. It
accidents, pathological gambling and compulsive stealing are also
on the list. And let me say that of course they go into in 2013,
Russia made promoting non traditional lifestyles illegal.
And then they go in here they say they're not quite sure how
it's going to be implemented. So, you know, whenever we get
the Putin hates something, and we always love Putin hates gays,
and now, Putin hates the trends and the trainings. He hates the
transsexuals gotta go, this affecting him. And this is now
catching some speed. So before it goes completely and utterly
viral, which I expect it to do, just depending on what happens,
and just we Charlie land. Let me give you the background so you
can amaze your colleagues, friends and family with your no
agenda knowledge, John, I think you'll appreciate this too. I'm
all ears. Man. There's a copy of the translated copy of the
legislation in the show notes at 686. Dot no agenda notes.com. It
is Russian Federation law 16440. There's a paste bin of it. The
government the approved attached list of medical Cohn trained
contract constraints to management of vehicles list of
medical indications for motor vehicle means list of medical
restrictions to driving agent and they say in I'm going to
paraphrase in this document that you cannot have a mental
disorder and the operator of motor vehicle which arguably
makes sense. I'm not quite sure how we get around that in Do we
have questions in the United States? Or do we test if you're
insane? Or if you have a medical disorder? I don't know. If that?
I haven't taken a test for a while. I don't know that they
ask. So are you nuts? Yeah, for standing in line.
In the legislation, it says you must not have any mental issues.
And these mental issues are listed as defined by ICD dash 10
mental and behavioral disorders as determined and codified by
the World Health Organization. So Russia has not made this
list. The World Health Organization has made a list of
mental and behavioral disorders definitions thereof. And that is
what Russia is touting as the true list of disorders you
cannot have. Now, it says specifically, that just being
gay, transgendered, bisexual, lesbian, whatever you LGBTQ q ia
p by itself is not a mental disorder says it's specifically
in the list that this law refers to. However, they do have a
number of caveats where you can be severely depressed as you're
going through a transgender reassignment of a gender
reassignment transformation. And that's where all of these
different mental disorders are codified, you can have a severe
gambling addiction. And that can bring on other mental traits
that would make you ineligible to operate a motor vehicle if
diagnosed by a professional. So the No way. In no way does this
law, say if you're trans or gay or lesbian, you cannot have a
driver's license. It says if you have a mental disorder, and it
shows the ice, the ICD 10 from the World Health Organization,
which lists a lot of things, not just this, then you can be
deemed ineligible. And this has now been turned around without
anyone that I've seen yet in mainstream say that this is
actually a list from the World World Health Organization. And
that that is where the mental disorders is coming from. So
even the BBC is just writing down. Oh, you can't be gay.
I'm stunned. I am stopping lying about Russia and his motives.
But I am stunned. For once I am stunned. It's the previous thing
that Brian the gay Crusader did with the white paper on really
delving into the law about the promotion of alternative life
styles was a lot more complicated. This is simple. It
says it right there. You know, and by the way, we may use the
same standards for certain mental health disorders and
qualifications I'm not sure. We I'm not sure what we use as the
standard but the World Health Organization that's kind of the
global standard and they're using that they're referring to
it in their law. And now everyone's our Putin hates
trannies, man. Yeah. Go look at Joe ENGOs, Facebook. And
Facebook, right? New Law and
all bent out of shape about this, of course, why don't
people just listen to our show? So they get the facts instead of
being pushed around by the media, using you immediate uses
you.
It's called. Abuse is not just us,
the US is abusing us. Abuse. Yeah, no, it's terrible
abuse. And it's abuse of my gay and lesbian brothers and sisters
and my trans friends. This is lame, and it should be you
should be outraged. Seriously outraged, and someone needs to
call these people to atone.
Nobody's outraged. I
know, I know. Well, you know, Hey, I said it on the podcast.
I'm done. My moral self license. Good to go. I'm good to go needs
anymore. I did it. I said it. I swept the nose.
says we're on the topic of Europe. Let's go back to
Germany. Yes. And really, Germany is going to sacrifice
courses us. I think we're trying to ruin them in some funny way.
Well, yeah, if you ruin them, you ruin the euro. We rule.
Yeah.
Everything's working out as it looks like. So we have we have a
number of things going on. But a lot of it has to do with nuclear
energy and just energy in general. And
they're given to fund a Deutsche
and Germany apparently has a lot of energy problems because the
country is purely run by. I don't know, idealists or sour
green nut balls, but kind of gives us kind of a
background or background or on this is the Aynor de venda after
the 2012 Fukushima Daiichi, right accident, Germany said we
are going to shut down all of our nuclear power. We're going
all renewables, wind, solar, etc. And now the manufacturing
in Germany is dying because of the cost of energy. Because it's
just so incredibly expensive. It's half of its being
subsidized and they want to turn it back because it's it's
killing the country.
Well, it's gonna get worse before it gets better. Let's
play energy problems one four released. This is the most
comprehensive climate protection package that the German
government has ever presented.
After saying no
to nuclear power by 2022, Germany's now aiming to go even
more green by getting ready to say goodbye to coal as well as
part of the ambitious plan to cut co2 emissions by 40% to 1990
levels. And as
45% of power generated in Germany still comes from coal.
And as the government aims to reduce this dependency, the
question isn't only about what to substitute it with, but
perhaps even more importantly, how much it will cost in a
country where energy bills are already among the highest in
Europe.
Indeed, German consumers have already spent an extra 106
billion euros since 2000, to cover cleaner energy initiatives
via charge added to their bills. Germany is Europe's industrial
powerhouse with the biggest appetite for energy on the
continent. The government's ultimate goal is to switch to
renewable sources like wind, solar and biomass currently
generating around a quarter of the country's needs. But
skeptics warn no matter how green they may want to go. A
fossil fuel backup is vital to keep industries working. Yeah.
Yeah, it's it's idealism. Yes. Agree. Yeah. They're
pushing them in this direction. And their goal goal is getting
sucked down the whole lot of investments now. A big
industrialist in Germany are taking place here. That BASF and
I think it was reports mentions it is opening up new dropping
three. Merica
because we're not America, in America
and America, because we can get that because the energy that
make their run their chemical factories, they're too expensive
company too expensive is cheapest in the United States.
So we're getting a lot of foreign this why their stock
market by the way? Well, I don't understand what the stock
market's going up. This is part of it. We're scamming everybody.
And I were largely behind pushing a lot of this stuff. In
fact, I did this I was listening to some C span there was this
idiot and I want to talk about the hypocrisy and I want to
mention to people, you'll notice that the United States always
signs on it like Kyoto. Yeah, we'll
do it. Then we never we never ratified, never
never ratified. Well, it's because of the Republicans. Then
when I heard that and they blame the Republicans are opposed.
Fine, just don't do it. I'm gonna go take the blame. Yeah,
we hear these phonies like Bernie Sanders go off against,
you know, what we should really be looking at as is nuke Power
Of course, of course listen to Bernie Sanders and they have a
comment about this is the Bernie Sanders clip before we go back
to Germany,
whether within his definition of the kind of energy system he on
point for that he hopes to transform our country to whether
that includes nuclear power, which today produces 60% of our
carbon free electricity. No, Senator Sanders. I have serious
concerns about nuclear power power, I find it hard to
understand how people want new nuclear power plants, when they
will be the most expensive form of new electricity production in
the country, far more expensive than wind and solar, and also
wanting new nuclear power plants at a time when we don't know how
to get rid of the very substantial waste that we have
right now. So Senator Alexander Oh, my hope is that over a
period of time, we will phase out nuclear, electricity and
power electricity and
don't vote that guy back in. Oh, what a douche bag. Oh, let me
let me douchebag that guy.
Well, I think it's just bullcrap. Anyway, he
just want to say one thing, the new reactors can in fact, take
the waste existing waste and use it.
Yes, we know we keep up with this. But Sanders is a phony.
And this and so I got to this thinking because White Houses
guy White House,
I'm gonna shut up. But I just want anyone who thinks that they
are in tech. Okay. Anyone who does a tech show tech, this tech
that ladies, if you're doing tech viewed, you need to
understand the technology of the new nuclear reactors. Otherwise,
you're not in tech, you're full of
crap. They're the old these guys are talking about his tech from
the 50s. This has changed. We're talking about 50 years of
research is not the same as it used to be. But what so this guy
Whitehouse who I'm always complaining about because he's
he's in these woods, he won't be the head of anything anymore as
a Democrat, but he's always talking about, oh, we've got to
get renewables we got to do this we go we're gonna although tides
are going up to global warming and all the rest somebody one of
our producers in I guess, in the DC area went and did some
research and found that most of his investments are in old
fashioned energy, of course, oil, of course. But they talk a
big game. So this is going but but but we're not over. We're
not as an entire society suckered by the bullshit. We
tend to like, that's why we don't sign these agree we all
Yeah, we'll show up to Kyoto. And we'll show up at these
various conferences co whatever they're called, that they have
every year in someplace rather than one and the Copenhagen was
Corp the COP this ELP stuff, we show up and then we you know,
yeah. Oh, yeah. Whatever you say, yeah. Meanwhile, these
other boneheads, like Germany seem to take this stuff in hook
line and sinker because of the green, he's actually being taken
seriously as
greed, John, because in Europe, certainly in the Netherlands, I
saw it, I know how it works, I actually once had to move a
windmill, a power windmill, at great expense for the heli port
in Amsterdam. And then I found out these are all little LLCs
are BVs in that case, and there and the their share structure is
owned by amongst other people, former politicians, current
politicians, other little LLCs that are owned by politicians,
because it's subsidized. It's a license to print money, and it's
just stealing from the people same in Germany.
So let's play German energy. Number two,
Germany needs to sell things baseload off electricity, that's
a load which has to be always stay a night, 24 hours per day,
seven days per week available. And this base load is about 40%
of our total electricity demand. So this base load is impossible
to provide this by wind and sun.
subsidy, substituting coal with natural gas is another option.
But that would also mean a bigger dependency on energy
imports. And once again, more figures on those costly energy
bills.
The private consumer has to pay the bill in contradiction to the
big companies who get these exceptions for just meet the
country and going to North America with energy prices due
to the unconventional gas and the odd sets. That's quite,
quite cheap.
couldn't really hear the end there was a little tougher. He
said that these companies are all packing up and going into
North America. Yeah, United States and Canada, mostly where
the energy prices cheap. That's what we've done. We've created
this situation. I mean, we've always tried to tax it and screw
the public button. But compared to what you pay, and this has
been the case, since, I don't know, 50 years or more, where
you gasoline, for example, is discouraged, its use is
discouraged in most of Europe, and it's extremely expensive
because of the taxes. If it's not one thing, it's another over
there. Well, let's play part three. And then I can wrap this
last leg, one of
the biggest chemicals producers in the world has already
invested over $5 billion into facilities in the US. Some
analysts warn unless Europe stops lagging in energy
production and the price gap remains wide, we may see a chain
reaction of more investment to American shores. And frankly,
it's unlikely that saying no to both nuclear energy and coal
will help keep this money, at least on German soil. Now, don't
Don't count on it. Don't count on it. Did I talk about Iran and
the Azerbaijan pipeline on the last show? So remember, you
might have Yeah, I was I've always been trying to figure out
why we are why are we cozying up to Iran? And why are we trying
to get them all involved? And I think I might have talked about
doesn't matter. I'll just just want to reiterate quick about it
again, yeah, that Iran is now joining the EU gas race. They
want to it this is kind of the funny thing, because the whole
Syria issue started over a choice of pipelines. The West
and the Western oil companies wanted Qatar up north through
Syria, Homs. Aleppo, all those towns that we called months
before anything happened into Turkey, or off to the to the
left there into the Mediterranean into Italy or
Greece or Cyprus. And that would that's the pipe, but really
through Turkey. That's the pipeline that that was intended
to happen the array, what are they calling it the was the Iran
Iraq Syria pipeline, that's the one that we had to stop. And in
a strange twist of fate, maybe it was plan B, or maybe it was
the idea all along, it seems that that pipeline, and
certainly if ISIS can protect it, for us, may actually come
into play as Azerbaijan will be pumping their gas through Iran.
And then why Evonik they want to complete the pipeline. And
there's a number of options for the for the pipeline, it can be
the the Persian pipelines, what we would call that one that is
also the southern gas corridor, which is a US British French
initiative. Now, now I understand why we're trying to
make friends with Iran because we want to bring them back into
the fold under our complete control, of course, and I'm
pretty sure that the nuclear thing is really to slow them
down to say, Hey, man, you know, like, don't get too popular with
your nuclear energy here. You know, you're gonna make that
stuff. Complicated. You got to push that back. We want just
want the gas to flow. But there's interesting new reports
coming in about Iran entering the the gas sector and really
wanting to sell their gas as well as from Azerbaijan, which
we own we did. That's Hillary Clinton's. That's where we had
the the Eurovision Song Contest. Baku this is this is we own a
lot of that. So they're, they're coming into the fold. And I find
that, of course, that's fascinating. Along with this,
let me see, we have an interesting speech from
Elizabeth Warren. And completely misinterpreted by everybody in
the mainstream, of course, which is why you listen to this show,
this podcast, as the house now filled with Republicans who've
had the majority passed a bill that would allow for the
construction of this final little itty bitty piece of the
key Keystone XL pipeline. And we know that most of this thing is
already running this. It's a little piece and it's really the
only reason why this is being debated is Warren Buffett and
Bill Gates, big Democrat supporters. It is huge for them.
They're trained running the running the oil in and out of
Canada. And that cannot be disturbed. It's a bonanza for
those guys really, truly is their there's their shut, they
don't even want. Pete farmers can't even get a freight train
car to move their stuff anymore. So Elizabeth Warren
Yeah, no, that is actually a huge problem for the American
farmers. Yeah. And by the way, I want to mention that since you
brought this up, a Buffett has come out and publicly came out
and supported the pipeline, which is bullcrap. This is the
cortical crease guy. They say one thing hires and they work on
making sure it doesn't happen.
Um, so when you hear Elizabeth Warren with her allegation And
by the way, the respect that she's getting for this is, you
know, John, you call it early on. She's a real contender with
this. And I believe she's a contender because she has now
she has Bill Gates and Warren Buffett in her pocket based upon
this. Two minutes speech.
Senator Warren, thank you very much, Madam Chairman. And also
congratulations. Let me just blow you a new post. I'm very
much looking forward to working with you on energy issues. When
I'm President, and with our ranking member count? Well, you
know, we've heard a lot about today about some of the problems
with the legislative proposal.
And by the way, just listen to this and think of the old bots.
There'll be like, yes, she's so bright, screw those Republicans,
horrible people that's rotten to the core
to force the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline. My
question is simpler. I want to know why the pipeline is the
very first number one item on the agenda in this new congress.
Is this about jobs. The number of jobs the pipeline will create
is disputed, but most estimates put it at a few 1000 or less.
What if we focused on highways instead of pipelines? We
urgently need to pass a permanent highway bill Hey
jump there's your your pothole bill. She's the she's a good
one. Yes, she's Yes. She's hitting all the all the
points the American associate, you
know, the way you stop it for a second. I just want to point out
that Elizabeth Warren who I follow closely, because I'm
convinced she's gonna do something drastic, like Ron has
always talked a big game. Always. She she's always talked
to big all that good, good consumer protection, good
consumer resumes I get in office, we're gonna fix consumer
protection. Well, we doesn't do anything. She is a biggest
phony. big talker, oh, great talker. He gets everybody all
worked up. And he doesn't do anything.
Correct. Because we've read the the the scammy notes that I've
received here at home. Capital One and all these guys. It's all
it's all still small print scammy. And you get screwed. So
she, as far as I know, nothing really happened.
No, nothing
of State Highway and Transportation Officials says it
will create 8 million jobs.
Okay, but she's now just saying, oh, yeah, we if we had a highway
and road billiat or bridge and tunnel doesn't say how much it
would cost or where there was coming. It's that's just
rhetoric, I guess. Just talk talk. Yeah, over the next four
years,
by the way, I'm all for it. I mean, let's print up a whole
bunch of money and put 8 million people to work. Yeah, I'm good
to go. But just shut up and
do it. This roads around here are horrible and worse in LA,
there it is. There it is, if we
could pass a highway bill, we could put people to work in good
jobs and fix crumbling roads and bridges. So is the pipeline
about lowering America's energy costs? Evidently not even its
supporters admit that much of the oil in the pipeline would be
exported for use outside the United States. So it's not about
jobs. It's not about energy. Why is this bill so urgent?
Let me ask you the question. Why do you think is urgent for the
Republicans to pass?
Well, I would think that it was true politics would be to screw
over buffing gates. Or get some of these these trains to be
pulling, you know, to lower the cost of food because you have to
pay a premium now to get a car to put some wheat in it because
they're using these things for oil to such an extreme zone and
happening in the Midwest. There's
a real problem. We've got a weed shortage.
Weed. Yeah, weed. The wheat
time to panic? Oh, we
should it's pronounced
tweet tweet. Yes. Well, I think if it's true politics, I think
they would only be doing this to blackmail Buffett to get some
campaign donations.
Yeah, it would be part of it. Yeah. Well, whatever the case
is,
let's continue with, like crap.
The answer is money, money, money and power. The pipeline
might not do much for the American people. But it is worth
a whole lot to the Canadian oil industry. According to an
analysis, who
by the way, supply most of our oil,
which nobody? Yeah, yeah, they're the number one supplier.
That's, that's a very tough America, our
foreign oil suppliers by Politico since 2009. Translate
and let
me ask you another question. Since when did politico become
like a reference point?
Because everything else has become so lame that it just did
by default. It knows anything more than the New York Times.
That's my point. It used to be the New York Times or maybe the
Wall Street Journal maybe
a little bit more instinctual perhaps now a search operation I
was just
political never goes oh, well, political. Oh, well. Oh, well,
political. Yeah, political. Who's funny. Political making
money is not one of those things. It's just funded out of
some guy's pocket
money. Thing is making money. I have no idea
in the oil industry. According to an analysis by Politico since
2009, Trans Canada has spent almost $7 million in lobbying
expenses related to Keystone, so much money industry wide is
being spent, that were dealt Loomis, a political science
professor at the University of Kansas previously described the
Keystone XL bill as, quote, a lobbyist Support Act. And now
Trans Canada wants what they paid for. Who does this new
Republican Congress work for foreign oil companies or the
American people today, their first priority is to advance a
pipeline, that means a whole lot to an army of well paid
lobbyists, and a whole lot to a giant foreign oil company. But
we know that this pipeline runs terrible environmental risks.
And it just won't do much to help the American people. I
didn't come here to do favors for Trans Canada. Republican
leaders may disagree, but I'll be voting no on this. Right. All
Republicans, Republicans, and by the way, there's 2 million miles
of pipeline in America.
And it's been 7 million on lobbying. That's a spit in the
bucket. I can't imagine what I can. I'm looking for it by can't
find it. Well, here's a just a few of these things are like 10,
you know, in the billions for highway
lobbying? Oh, yeah, of course. It's much bigger. It's
all credit. His argument is specious. Yes. It's been a 7
million in their day. They're buying our votes. They're not
spending enough.
Yeah, I know. And then I think she's, she's being funny. And
well, then she's probably being supported by Buffett and gates.
I'm sure she's gonna be with that kind of talk. No, no, she's
she's definitely a winner. Never ever. I don't It's I think we're
the only people that talk about about gates owning most of the
Canadian railway. It's huge shareholder. And Buffett owns a
Burlington Northern did
these loans that outright? Yeah. That is shareholder
based. It's his. This is little eco trail. Oh, that's his toy
train set. Great.
He must have he must have a private car that is dynamite.
Oh, a private rail car. Yeah, that must be nice. I would love
one of those.
Yeah, they're cool. I have to say that that is the ultimate.
I'm part of a consortium and own part one. The whole club of
these people
after the jet and all that now you got to have that shit. Well,
you own zip net jets as his. He does. Shah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Net jets. Amidst all of the everything has been going on. We
see CISPA being revived. And I think if they really introduced
the bill, I think it'll pass this time.
Oh, really? The one that the bill the techies are all
against? Yeah. This is ainger icon. Yep.
Dutch Ruppersberger. Well, it wasn't just changing your icon.
You'll recall Wikipedia went dark. Actually was dark, dark,
like not accessible. I think that not true. There are a
couple places that just maybe Craigslist. I doubt that'll
happen again.
No, you can't dig didn't give up. We did that already. So we
just adopted we stopped it.
Yeah, this is Dutch Ruppersberger, the old country.
Now there one other one needs to be voted out. And he of course
is referring to this is a bad cyber sharing. That's really
what the Cisco deal was about. I'm going to bring it back up if
they show I don't know if it's going to be a revamped version
or exactly the same version. He says he's putting the bill in
he's doing it himself reintroducing the bill. And he
bases that on the the Sony hack attack, or hackers hacked.
What would this bill have to do his Sony
nothing but it's about the bill is about share. It's not so but
it's this.
It's this is that bull crap where they wanted they want
everybody all in there. Yeah, they've been promoting that to
Sony. Do you know if you guys are working with us? Yeah, that
wouldn't happen. Yes. Working with us. Share your data. Yep.
That's it because I let our guys get into the back end of your
machines here and you wouldn't have this problem because we'd
be able to stop it. Sure you would.
And the the admiral they're over at the NSA Michael Rogers is
saying well, yeah, you know, the FBI we we gave him we did all
that work for him. We partner When they asked us to for our
technical ability, we specifically did that we provide
our technical expertise to prove that it is. North Korea and Cae.
Were part of a broad interagency effort. Yes, we're part of that.
We do that. That's how we do it. That's how that's how we roll.
Clip. No, I wish I wish Oh, no, I know. These guys are smart.
Like, dude, let's not give those no agenda. He holds more
content. I don't have a clip of that, unfortunately.
But I do have a clip as you brought the FBI up again. Let's
play this. This is. This is a clip from our tea. A lot our
team worked. And this is their rundown of the FBI collecting
calls.
Welcome back. The FBI says it doesn't need permission to
listen in on cell phone conversations in public places,
or report claims the agency and other law enforcement bodies
like eavesdropping on calls using like aircraft circling
cities. The system was reportedly designed to pinpoint
criminals but it's some known how many innocent people's
private chats are being listened to. Marina and I are explains.
Yeah, we talked about this on Thursday,
right? Yeah, no. Okay. I just like the Russian report.
No, so we'll do the report.
The US has more than 325 million mobile phones in use. And if
they're being used in public spaces, the FBI says it doesn't
need to obtain search warrants before scooping up private phone
calls and text messages with interception devices. According
to The Wall Street Journal, the federal government is using
devices that mimic a cell phone towers to dragnet data from
1000s of phones while hunting for a suspect the devices known
as stingrays or dirt boxes attached to planes and cars,
tricking cell phones into reporting their unique
registration information. The sheer amount of data that can be
pulled is raising concerns.
There's no reason to suck up 10,000 innocent people. I mean,
it's bad enough that they're doing warrantless interception
of one person's cell phone calls. What the FBI is
apparently doing if that report is correct, is they are just
throwing out electronic dragnet. And everybody within reach of
their fake cell tower this thing right there dirt box, whatever
the slang du jour for it is they're sucking up everyone's
phone calls
versus tell the Wall Street Journal that the fake cell tower
devices reportedly determine which phones belong to suspects.
And eventually, lets go of the private data belonging to
innocent citizens. Problem is it's not clear what steps are
taken to ensure citizens private data.
Good news on this front. And I'm not sure if the stingray is
different from the dirt box of the dirt. Dr. T is the dirt box.
But we have a producer who has used a Dr. T in the field. And
he is going to be sending me a details on exactly what it does.
Okay, good. So
remind everybody that the reason for all this is not to protect
anyone against terrorism. It's to create a web of blackmail.
Yes, as far as I'm concerned arts Yes. Where it starts to get
people in Congress nuts. It's not about you, necessarily. The
person on the street is not about you, or Adam, me or it's
about Congress or people that have voting power to blackmail
them. So they get their way so they get more money.
And I don't think people even realize that that is, or even,
it doesn't even cross people's minds.
is such the logical thing to do. I know. It's the most logical
thing you can imagine. I mean, that's what you want to get all
zeroes. And by the wind, if nobody does it, people don't
realize this. The FBI is a blackmailing operation from
years ago during the day one, that's what they do. He was he's
keeping a secret records in ego. And that's how the guy stayed.
That's why they in fact, the blackmail aspect of the FBI is
why they passed a law saying you couldn't be FBI Director more
than 10 years, more than 10 years, you had to leave you had
to leave even though they extended it with the last guy
while he had all his
real because he could become if he wanted to. You could become
you know, run the whole country with blackmail. I mean, this is
the reason for that law was the blackmail. But no good guys, you
know, they help us solve crimes.
Now let's look at the current director of the FBI, James Comey
and why it might be interesting to have this capability of
blackmail. He comes from big ass business, Bab big ass business.
Besides being general counsel, Vice President of Lockheed
Martin. He was on the board of HSBC bank that was very good at
laundering billions, hundreds of
billions of dollars in massive corrupt bank,
massive he was a member of Bridgewater Associates,
investment management firm, very important. financial firm, very
important firm. And he was actually in HSBC. During all of
the scandals of the LIBOR, and the, the Euro bore all. So this
guy is you cannot just say, Oh, here he comes. He's always he's
a lawyer. Of course, you have this a perfect guy for the FBI.
Yeah. With a blackmailing operation going on. And not just
that insider information, that if anybody thinks that that's
not happening,
well, fine. Oh, yeah. If I was running this thing, and I just
had an o war, I could now just wiretap anybody, because it does
go the blackmailed Supreme Court or whoever said it. Yeah. No,
you don't need a warrant to do any of this stuff that you give.
It's a cell phone and you're in public. Well, yeah. What if
you're in a room by yourself? Because you don't you want to be
private? No, no, no. We get it all. We grab it all. The first
thing I do is I'd be right on John doors, phone Hell yeah.
What deals all the Kleiner Perkins phones, listening to
what deals they were doing to see if there's an m&a
opportunity that I can invest in. Yes.
How about the maverick? What's his name? Mavericks guy?
I don't know. He's a
shark tank guy. That guy.
Cuban Yeah, he's got a cube is not a regular dealer. Like he
says, There's Wheeler dealers out there. I mean, a Carl Icahn,
that'd be a good one. There's the all over that guy. I wanted,
whatever. Whatever he was talking about, it would be it. I
want it to be transcribed. And on my desk in the morning,
I want to Taylor Swift's photos. Make this personal. So everybody
understands how this really works. I believe there are
people in our audience who have either for your spouse, your
boyfriend, your girlfriend, maybe your kids, you have gone
on to the computer, and checked out their Facebook, then whether
you had the password or not, and maybe was still logged in, maybe
you looked at some history in the browser, what is he or she
doing, then that's human nature. It's human nature to do this.
And that's why it goes all the way to the top. And when there's
big bucks involved, it gets more interesting. I think everyone
can understand that. It's you. It's like it's like a drew
you're drawn to Ah, man, I really need to look at what
could be going
imagine if you're like one of the FBI, we're going to use that
as our example even though I would say these other agencies
do the same thing. But you're working in Silicon Valley, and
you're hanging out trying to do some work. And these douchebags
and you met met meet these guys. They are the dumbest douchebags
ever they happen to be in the right business in the right
place in the right time. And for some reason, they don't
understand at all now, many of them are worth billions. And
he's look as gay. Why is this guy? I met this guy. I've talked
to him. He's an idiot. Why am I working for the government? Let
me show you at some point you start to think about, well, what
how can I get a piece of the pie? Right. And you could get
involved in the blackmail. It's way to go. And but or spying and
listening to people seeing there's a deal you can do a
stock pic? Yeah, I think stock picks are probably for the
average guy is more important than the blackmail. The
blackmail is only going to be targeting legislative people. So
you get your votes. You know, you get your money. You get
allocation, right? Yeah. Well, I'm glad you got it. You're
gonna vote against it. And there's really cool pictures.
Are you at this?
And it's always hookers? What if we could just stop being so
uptight about hookers? Then that wouldn't be blackmail? It's
always sex. It's a blackmail? Isn't that strange?
Yeah, that's strange, because there's a lot of married
couples, a lot of women a lot of men that don't like their
spouse. Know hanging out with hookers all the time. There's
just don't like it. There's a you know, I'm sick of you
hanging out with hookers. I'm getting divorced. I'm taking
half of every I'm trying to say so geez, I'm losing half of
everything. Thanks, guys. I'm
trying to say something different. It's like, that is
the big moral crime where no one is saying hey, look guys killing
people with drones and innocent civilians. Yeah, you're right.
That's, that's never the big moral crime. And I know what you
are, you have a huge screwed ochre. Which by the way,
stimulates the economy as it is being counted towards GDP and
all of the EU member states. So you're actually being very
patriotic.
And while discussing this sort of thing, where you're, you
know, the spying and blackmailing and all the rest
did a lot of this stuff. Of course, a lot of people bring it
on themselves. I was and I thought the funniest story this
week was this one, which is the guy, the ISIS guy tweeting away
like crazy leaving his geolocation information and
Studies in Washington DC. When
this guy was apparently flooded, which is a good story play this
tweeting ISIS dummy.
Okay, I had a different one.
Security agencies worldwide are busy tracking down foreign
recruits traveling to join jihadists in Iraq and Syria, but
one Islamist has unwittingly made their job easier. A New
Zealander, believed to be fighting with Islamic State has
been broadcasting his whereabouts by geographically
tagging his tweets. Well, Mark Taylor made it possible for a
Canadian Intelligence Group to track the route he traveled late
last year. geo tags on his tweets revealed he was fighting
in Kapha Roma in October. He then retreated to the group
stronghold of Al Tabqa. In early December, after realizing his
blunder, Taylor deleted all of his tweets, but it was too
little too late. And as if that wasn't bad enough for him in one
Twitter photo update, he revealed the face of another
fighter in the background.
Yeah, there was another guy. Another Islamist jihadi thing.
This is maybe two weeks ago. And the tweet location showed up is
Washington DC. That is funny, a phony but even this stuff by
itself. Do you think that it's not possible for the FBI to
subpoena to the tweeters a Twitter and to get at least
trace back to the the origin of the IP? Maybe it's this proxy?
But yeah, it's like this, all of this Sophie habeus. Those
already? Exactly. All this social media. The expertise of
ISIS is bull crap. Yeah, they are because Hillary Clinton
trained them personally. They're called techno experts in her
book.
Well, I think is also the I think that column these experts
in, you take a group, you know, this is the sociology of it. You
tell somebody, they're dumb, and everyone tells them, they're
down there, they start acting pretty dumb. If you start
telling these guys that they're the experts, social media
experts, they start believing it. And so they end up doing a
lot of dumb shit on social media by giving their positions away
because they don't really understand any of the mechanisms
they don't understand about about geotagging, and who does
and so they leave all these things on and they are they like
to take pictures because of the social media. I think they've
been encouraged to use social media not that they're actually
experts in any way. For this particular reason. That's
because they're dumb. Well, you just give away you know how that
encouragement happens, don't you? Other life painters share
three other posters everywhere. Scattered that we never thought
I could listen to that whole song. You know,
I got an email of that song email from Tristan. My 12 year
old son was in the car with me listening to the latest episode.
He says Stop stop stop back it up. What was that song thing? I
explained about the song move on thinking nothing of it. Get home
next thing I hear the whole bloody thing blaring out of his
room. I go in. He's on his bed. almost in tears. Cracking Up
can't stop laughing. He loves it. Of course. It's funny. Well,
actually,
when you when you see the actual YouTube video, it's like it's a
jaw dropper. And so far is humor. And then of course, the
jerk that did it says, oh, no, no, it was a parody. We were
just trying to we're just trying
to get something to go viral to show you how it works.
Yeah, the show works. Right? Yeah. All right. You get it's
impossible to it's it's just doesn't work that way. Well, I
love it.
I'm very happy. I'm very happy to exist. And then I somebody
complained
to me on one of the emails. You must have got it. One of our
producers said I used it. I was sick and tired of that ISIS song
which I thought it was my God. I had it running through my brain
constantly. You should play that one too. And then you start
playing this now I can't get rid of eyes and I can't stop hearing
this thing.
Well, let's play this one
then the we had ISIS. You mean this one when these brown? Oh,
the James Brown one. Right. Right. Right. Okay. Hold on a
second. What happened here? Sorry. Ty, yeah, well, it's been
I'm really working on fixing the problems I've been having and
it's been good so far on the show, I think. Except for this
one little one little glitch. is what we call it. Yes. It was a
glitch. Okay, here we go. ISIS follow them to the gates of
hell. ISIS that's good, the jingles are
great Greg little ditty who did that?
Oh, I don't know. Maybe it says it here. It's one of our
better ones. But there's a lot of good if we could string
together all the songs, and little T Jaws, we
could release an album on iTunes. Not a bad idea,
actually. Now that I think, however, we prefer our
traditional value for value method.
I'm going to show my school by Joni to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
We do have a few people to thank for the show six, whatever it is
86. That said something. Chuck Bennett is at the top of the
list. 101 2345 out of Boise. This is Chuck Bennett in Boise.
Is Adam going to take this as I'm gonna do? I'm not gonna read
all these, but I'm gonna read this one. Because I think you
have talked about this to an extreme already. Is Adam going
to tell us what audio filters he's using? I think it's been
asked before, but I can't find where it was answered.
No, I have not done that. But I want I just need a little bit of
time really use
audio filters. He uses a do we do dream of software? Yeah.
Well, it's audio. Yeah. It's more software, audio filters.
They're classics and theirs is up there just stacked?
Yes. And
the idea is talked about it. Yeah. Because we talked about
the nev Neve, whatever we

No, I don't think so. Hmm. Unless it's
I would be stunned. I would be stunned in our storing the
photos not all
photos. I think maybe if you're using Twitter's photo system,
but if you link to something I don't I don't think I don't know
well used
photo system. That's what I do. I just upload Yeah,
I don't use Twitter system at all. I do it all through my to
the freedom calm
and I upload because that way it comes into the tweets as a
photo, it comes into streams got photo photo photo, they want you
to put a lot of photos in Twitter does that the way they
can easily that way the government can track you better,
they can see what you're taking pictures of where you are, there
might be some good EXIF data in there that's useful. find you if
they need it. You know, what is some you know, it's really
wanted to do the program. He won't stir up any suspicion.
I'm just wondering if they store the photos? I'm actually not now
you've got me looking into this?
No, I will, you'll know by the next show.
Well, what's your question? Why don't you do some research?
I don't care. That's why. Okay. All right.
Ah, all right. What I have another video you've been on
rant mode today. What do you got? This
is one that really gets me. I didn't know this was going on as
a matter of fact, because we've seen specialist at that sports
show on HBO with Brian Gumbel. And there's all these other
reports over the years about
yourself. I don't I don't watch that. Well, I do. And it says
there's a lot of reports of from here and there that have
documented to an extreme that anyone accepting an Olympic bid
for the Summer Games was more or less break their city's budget.
It's a loser, you lose tons of money. You end up with abandoned
stadiums. It's just bad. Yeah, look at Greece. How'd
that work out?
Horrible. They got a bunch of abandoned stadiums and just
wasted a lot of money when pretty much broke the country.
So I'm listening to the local news and this this the Olympics
bid thing comes up obviously, what are we thinking
the Bay Area's dreams of Olympic gold were dashed today with the
United States Olympic Committee. East Coast over the West Coast.
It selected Boston as the US bid city for the 2024 Olympic Games.
San Francisco, Los Angeles and Washington DC were the other
cities in the running. Boston's mayor says their goal is to host
a summer games that is innovative and walkable. Despite
getting passed over San Francisco's Olympic get Bid
Committee seemed pleased with its pitch.
We're disappointed but you know what it was it was a tremendous
effort by a lot of people brought a lot of folks in the
region together so we have no regrets.
The final selection is up to the International Olympic Committee.
Boston will now be up against Rome, Berlin, Paris, Doha,
Melbourne and one of four potential African sites.
Who would do this? Well, it's a known loser.
Reo, of course is is on deck for 2016
Oh, yeah, this will break the back of the Brazilians.
Everyone's they've already got they went did the World Cup and
they had to build a bunch of stadiums that are unused and
this is a country that has tons of football teams no soccer to
you. Yes. And they can't find a use for these things. China's
they've stuffed a lot of stuff they built for the for the
Winter Olympics is now falling into decay. They can always
opening once these things nobody wants isn't right elephants.
Maybe there's maybe no one is Just thought about a great use,
you know, you can stack bodies of the
like an Rios prison internment camp and my work. It's not big
enough unless you stack in Tokyo, of course is on deck for
2020. And they have the perfectly that I heard this from
Mark and Astrid, are vie counting by counters. They're in
Tokyo. They had a perfectly good stadium. And there was a bit on
dream one crew who wanted to revamp the current Stadium,
which would have been the way to go, but Oh, no, oh, no, we got
to build a whole new one. Which of course is, you know, with the
current state of Tokyo, Japan, this. And that's for 2020 is
when they have the Summer Games. So this would potentially be for
2020 For them, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. As we say, in
Holland, v Donald lift, which means raw, whoever's alive,
then.
There's that Dutch Hizam. Going into my cycles theory, it should
be exceptional World War going on during that period. So they
should really think this in advance.
I got a note from Dame bang, bang. And I put the entire note,
she did research for us on Uber in Santa Barbara, California.
And I just wanted to give her the executive summary, but she
did very interesting an entire research about I think it's
between Uber and Lyft. Yeah. And she says that actually, Uber has
been an incredible boon for mothers, single mothers, for
good income, flexible working hours. And everything was going
swimmingly well, but now the crackdown is happening, I'm
hearing this everywhere, you have to have at least a 4.8 star
rating, otherwise you can get quote, unquote, fired, let go.
Every everybody hates the surge pricing, because the drivers
just get nothing but grief from the passengers or I'm sorry,
riders. The system downtime affects the driver statistics
negatively because you have to stay logged in for 50 minutes of
every hour. And you have to respond to at least I think 90%
of all calls that are pinged on your device. This of course, is
to keep people from you driving for multiple services. And it's
I think it's gonna get very ugly very soon. Is this is not going
to be this is not going to end well with the with the
competition.
Well, that makes nothing but sense if you think about it,
horses, of course, of course, the way things work.
It's the American way for sure. But the research and the that
she has in there and the questions and what came out of
it, I thought was interesting. So look at that in the show
notes. 6x six.no agenda notes.com. But the best way to
get to everything is archive.no. Agenda notes.com. Remind people
of that. Okay. Big changes with the Leviathan gas field. This is
the one that we found off the coast of Israel in the
Mediterranean, which we've been running Noble Energy, Texas
firm, with Bill Clinton, on their board of advisors, along
with, along with the local company, the Dilek group, and
Israel. So it's all been developed now everything's good.
These guys have invested, you know, I think how much are they
like $6 billion also is about right over, you know, over a
decade and a half. And now Israel's antitrust commissioner
says he's going to recommend a breakup of of this partnership,
because you just can't have one or two companies a little
consortium they're having control over all this. gasps You
can't do that. Yeah, so screw you. Is the message. Wow. Yeah,
it's that's a big deal. And this is not going to make a lot of
gonna make it difficult to do a lot of these joint ventures with
Israel. They're gonna pull that crap. If this is starting to
look like Russia. Russia would do? Yeah, totally. I'll keep my
eye on that. Oil play the fracking going bust
clip. Oh, this is good. Okay.
Elsewhere, oil prices are continuing to tumble US crude
fell below $50. This week, its lowest level for five years. non
conventional producers are already feeling the pinch. On
Friday, the shale company in Texas became the first US
fracking enterprise to go bankrupt. To the shale business
is very costly. And with declining oil prices, some of
the larger drillers are cutting production. Analysts say it's
proving particularly tough for small firms.
All forms of unconventional oil production now or at risk Arctic
oil, Canadian tar sands deep offshore projects, oil fracking,
anything that requires a price of 60 7080 $90 a barrel of oil
to break even all of these projects are at risk. And many
of the fracking projects in Texas and North Dakota are at
risk because they can't survive with prices below 50 $60 a
barrel. So I do think many of the smaller companies are going
to go bust
which would be what they want. Do you want smaller companies to
go bust? Get them out of the way? Of course not so how long
do you think this will last? John this this these prices?
I think I wouldn't be surprised if they were permanent. But
natural price is 40 right which I think it will go into
additional historic prices 25 I think 40 is only an anomaly that
they were up to 100 Yeah. Well this is good then Well, it's
good in is back to normal at say good. But it's almost as though
they it was it Lucy and the football thing. I mean, this is
pretty much the fracking guys that guys get all carried away
that tar sands guys, they all get carried away the next thing
you know, they want this and they want that and they could go
and crazy. They're making money. Yeah. Because it's 100. And then
they pulled of football away and is back down to 40. And you
can't make a nickel. Right. Right. But to the you know, the
gives Saudi Arabia and those guys who I've talked to people
about this as bullcrap. But I've heard I'm telling you, I heard a
Saudi Arabian expert, say that they can pull oil and make money
out of the ground at 10.
Yeah, it's completely possible. There's a report that came out
that I thought was interesting. Now of course, it's a What's the
name of this outfit? The Drug Policy Alliance? Who would be
pro drugs? legalization of marijuana. Let's put it that
way. And they have a report. Marijuana legalization in
Colorado after one year, but we are one year right. Retail
sales, two years of decriminalization and the way
they calculate it. I shall read this to you. We have this is the
executive summary. The State of Colorado has benefited from a
decrease in crime rates, a decrease in traffic fatalities,
an increase in tax revenue and economic output from retail
marijuana sales and an increase in jobs. It seems like a winner
sounds like a winner to me. I don't watch the problem
in violent crime, of course is down for the first time in a
year. Yeah. Because you know, despite what they will tell you
on the on the main box. Yeah. When when people smoke
marijuana, they're just not really into killing people.
Amen. Oh, feel like killing anybody right now. You got any
snickerdoodles?
We have one or two more. Yeah, this thing about we should have
talked about that in regard to the FBI. The New York Times came
out with a big piece and it's now everywhere FBI and Justice
Department now seeking charges against General portray a former
General Petraeus.
Oh, yeah, we have to talk about we should hold that and talk
about it with more detail, because this is very
interesting.
Let's set it up. Because this will be something we can do on
Thurs Yeah, what did betray is do
that all of a sudden now they've decided to charge him with a
felony. I mean, the initial thought
I know by now he wants to run for president. That's what he
that's the
initial thing that you would think is it wants to run for
president is what keeps him from doing it as if he had a prayer.
Yeah, okay. So I think that's bogus.
Well, he knows the thing with him is he knows about Benghazi.
Exactly. He knows what happened.
Yes, he knows what happens. He knows the whole story. And he is
just big and I don't know, maybe he indicated to somebody that he
was.
Here's what I think. Write a book. Yes. Well, I think he was
writing a book. If you if he wasn't if he didn't have someone
doing it for him, then he then He's nuts because it's free
money in the bank. The advance alone could be it should be at
least a million dollar for a guy like that. And I think that he
was writing the book and someone got wind of it and just Whoa,
no, you don't. And he should have released a book a long time
ago. He did. He didn't know he's he's got to do his quick he's
got to come out and do something quick and it would be cute.
Imagine the portray is true story of Benghazi. And it would
protect him if he did it. Because then if he gets killed
well, you know, hey, well, I guess it wouldn't protect him
but there would be no reason to kill him then because of the
bag. The cat is out of the bag.
Yeah. So we will have to discuss a little bit I do have a story
that just a nice story to finish off the day just to continue the
I think chromatically today we're talking about idiots a
lot. From the bicyclists to the other idiots we discussed. Yes,
sir. big headline the telegraph on a UK BBC chef Tom carriage
criticized for eating a puffin. Now, this guy apparently goes to
Iceland. And I've been to Iceland. Anyone who's been to
Iceland knows this. They eat Puffin. That's pretty much their
main food. They eat Puffin burgers. They explain to us a
puffin a puffins are very pretty little duck like creatures got
to kind of parrot like Bill beautiful ahead and people are
just looking them up and they're they're just considered so
pretty. In Iceland they are like pigeons. There are everywhere
every you can you walk down the street, you step on one end so
they eat Puffin because it's a decent bird to eat. Even though
the fish they don't taste fishy. They have the Puffin burgers and
rows, puffing and puffing breasts and Emily's different
Puffin dishes, and is absolutely fantastic. It's a delicious
product. And that's what they eat a tons of Puffin. So
apparently this guy was a BBC food and drink chef is being
just excoriated by the media by the liberals and all these
people for eating such cute little bird. Oh, how could
anyone eat one of those puffins. The Iceland is read from the
Arctic ice and has the world's largest Puffin breeding colony.
Around 10 to 10 million of the 15 million population live
there. And they're fresh hearted. The seabird is eaten
raw. Oh, I didn't know that. Eating raw is a traditional
delicacy. The meat is also smoked. So what is wrong with
these people? Apparently Ramsay in 2008 2008 ate a puffin and
was criticized roundly by all these 42 Viewers complained to
off calm in 2008 when Ramsey caught and ate a puffin. Are
they tasty? Yeah.
What do they taste?
It's all dark meat.
What do they taste like?
They taste like a duck a little bit little bit like a duck
little bit like a chicken. Oh, so you could
butter Durkin, you
can eat a beautiful church or Puffin Turkey Nene. You can
people eat beautiful mallard ducks. That's one of the
prettiest birds in the world. We'd mallards, but no, you can't
eat a puffin.
But who was saying I haven't read this. This is nice. I
had a BBC This is the British public. This Sarah napped in the
science editor wrote this column. The BBC food and drink
chef Tom carriages provoked anger after boasting that he ate
a puffin in Iceland.
I don't know what this is. Let me ask you a different question.
food related. Did I hear the Flog rabanne has ended in
California? I haven't heard this. I thought it had someone
that someone told me it ended. I think
that's a lie. As far as I know, it has not aired it just began.
No, I think it just ended.
No, it's just began. It was it was on the high eight. I mean,
there was a long way Wall
gras is back on the menu. It says here. Yeah, but I can't but
I know you're annoyed by me.
Well, I'm reading this too. It's on NPR. Yes, it's chef
celebrated the overturning of California's ban on flog raw you
go. How did this happen?
Well, the it was a judge Wilson rejected the ban is
unconstitutional. You should be able to eat whatever you want.
I agree with the judge. I mean to this will get everyone
outraged. They'll turn their anger against the Puffin eater
and back to the frog Rob who eating duck liver and by the
way, the Fogra and United States generally is duck liver. It's
crap. Don't even bother with it. You want goose liver to if you
want good
oh, we have we have one I think I've told you before. We have
one restaurant here in Austin Jeffries and they serve swag
raw, which makes me cry. Why? Because of the way they prepared
first of all, that is goose I know the owners or the previous
owners of the restaurant makes you
cry you against this. No, it's so
good at love. It's so It's so tasty. Yeah
real frog real real goose foie gras is delicious.
I had this little cake that is presented on with some Pineapple
bun. It's just it's so nice. If you ever come to Austin, I'm
treating you to that. Okay. And then finally from my end, I only
have one thing that was Sharpton. Yes, there was a
finish this show this Sharpton clip,
not a clip. This little story. civil rights lawyer sanfur
Rubinstein's apartment was searched for by police
investigating a woman's claim that he had raped her after
Sharpton 60th birthday bash.
And in the apartment, they found a a Viagra prescription bottle
with sharpens name on it.
Yeah, there's a photo photo pop
in that great. Yeah, I liked that a lot. That's pretty funny.
Owl Yeah.

coming days, we hope you will support us in our value for
