DC gay bar,
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday March 15 2015. Time for your get my nation media
assassination episode 704
This is no agenda beware of
the Ides of March broadcasting live from Rotterdam the
Netherlands in the morning everybody I'm Adam curry
and for growing in Silicon Valley we're Adam has missed a
spot in this show. Well anyway I'm John C to
the end of the world show not the end of the world is near now
this is clear as obvious we're all going to die this is it.
We should explain to the listeners the real listeners not
not. Not the phony stream listeners
real too, but they're mostly here to Kibbutz
we do is pre stream you get in the mood to play some songs DJ
power boy,
superstitious DJ,
I'm superstitious DJ power boy had a whole bunch of superhero
tracks. It was a theme based pre stream and then when John comes
on and we play Richard Wagner, The Ride of the Valkyries in a
rare sung operatic version, the end once at a certain point,
being the opera lover that I am, the Lyric is single, that
usually sing along with that
lyric. And I find that when you should always say nailed, nailed
it,
and I so missed it today, which isn't just bad, bad mojo.
And you've always believed that if you miss it in the show is
going to not be up to par.
That's right. And so then when we did the opening, I couldn't
say anything.
I'm leaving all of that in. None of that. Don't
leave it in this course. I'm
gonna leave it. It's lovely. We talked about that now. Yes.
Well, we'll we'll argue about that later. Well,
misers like those. It put the flubs at the end of the show.
Loves at the end of the show,
except we didn't put it at the end of the show. It's it's the
beginning of the show. Yeah. It's not a flub, it's not
edited. It's the whole show is how it was set up. It's a
total flub. Okay, fine.
Well, John, I don't know how it is they're stateside, but here
in all kinds of
stuff going on there and the old Holland. What are
you referring to kind sir? I don't know. Tell me. Well, first
of all, the newspapers were happy to report that my first
wife and I had a very long conversation to her house.
So So you guys, you told us on the last show that you went to
dinner? Yeah, I believe, did you?
We went to dinner. I went to her house and then dinner near her
house on the back end. Yeah.
Right. And so she just right after dinner. She calls the the
newspaper.
No, I think I think what happened the next day she was
doing a store opening. You know, that's a gig. Paris Hilton does
that. And she opened the store at night I think some report at
because
she sent me a text message. You know, I don't know how do they
get this information? Out of just a couple of people the
store opening I talked to like, really?
They have her quoted as saying you look tired and weary.
Which is exactly what she said to me from her. Some believable,
this is unbelievable. I live in a bubble of epic proportions
when I'm here. Pretty funny, man. It's just ridiculous. But
the real news
here is I think is being reported. Similarly. Everyone is
waiting here with bated breath to see what will happen at the
Kremlin. President Putin is reportedly set to make his first
public appearance in more than a week. Guys Kremlin officials
tried to shut down the rumors that he is bad sick. They say on
Monday, he will meet with the President of Kyrgyzstan in St.
Petersburg, Russia.
By the way, this Shep Smith guy I've been observing him. I think
he's probably really tiny. He's like, he's like Ryan Seacrest
tiny. Not that it matters. But just to get put him into
perspective. He has this is kind of a new thing is like a tough
guy southern gay that he had and he so he makes kind of gay jokes
but they're a little more Shep Smith. Oh, yeah. From Fox. If
you can hear this, like people on set, egging him on, which is
okay, because that's how you keep it going during incredibly
boring days in cable. But it's something new that he's doing I
find it somewhat entertaining.
President Putin last appeared in public last Thursday for a
meeting with Italy's Prime Minister. Analysts say it's rare
for him to go more than an even a day without a public event.
He's also postponed an upcoming trip and yesterday he skipped an
annual security meeting that he typically typically attend. So
as you might imagine, the rumor mill is going batty by a Kremlin
officials say images show President Putin at this week's
private events. They say this shows him meeting today with the
President of the Russian Supreme Court. They say another image
shows him at a Woman's Day event on Sunday. But a local newspaper
reports the event actually happened lots of days earlier.
Putin spent years building this reputation so What sort of macho
man are some show a picture of Putin riding. Topless spokesman
has said that the President is perfectly healthy and that his
handshake is so strong that it would break your hand. That's
what his spokesman said. For reals.
For reals. Okay, Chef.
Well, actually, I had a clip that was this clip Shep's. I
have to say Shep Smith is does a good news report.
It's entertaining. basis. Yeah. And then he says For reals. Like
he's like,
oh, yeah, he does aside, which is probably lessens the impact.
Yeah, but yeah, yeah. No, that's big news here. They've been all
me. He's dead. He's
Have you seen the white trucks? Everyone's talking about the
white trucks now? No, no, the white trucks. Some say there's a
troops in the white trucks. troops in the white trucks.
Others say it's a podium. We're gonna build a big stage. Circus
of the stars. I don't know. But it's funny. Well, they
the weird the weirdest one was that he's got a mistress who's
having a baby and he wants to be with her.
Yeah. And we've heard that it was that would be in
Switzerland. I think some something weird like that.
That's where the mistress is. I don't know.
This. Just kick it in. So he's supposed to shoot. I didn't know
that he was supposed to show up today someplace. Yeah.
When there's, you know, I think maybe Voice of America had
footage or pictures of an event that isn't supposed to take
place until today that they had footage of yesterday. It's it's
it's nutty. When as long as it involves Putin, the mainstream
media has no problem with conspiracy theories. That's all
just make sure the payoff is Putin. I have I think I found a
valuable resource when it comes to what's going on in Russia and
Ukraine. Yeah, George Friedman. Are you familiar with George
Friedman? No. No, I looked him up. He is. Now he was speaking
at some kind of douchebag event and when he's like Atlantic club
or something like that. Budapest, Hungary American
political scientists. Oh, Stratfor. That's right. He is
the CEO of Stratfor. That's the intelligence organization,
right.
Oh, yeah. That guy? Yeah. No, I know. You're right.
And so you have to take a lot of what he's saying with possible.
propagandistic. Tengiz, you know, you got to, you got to
take it at face value. But I really liked his explanation.
And I pulled a couple of clips from this. And it starts off
with the first he starts off with the European Union. Because
of course, it's all all of this has has to do with the whole
Russian issue. And are sort of actually more your assertion but
I I'm on board with it is war in Europe, and we were talking
about this the other day to 2020. Yeah, 2020. So 2017 is the
because I'm telling everybody here, obviously with quite some
authority, again after the war. Now, I'll come back then, after
the 2000s. But also tell them don't worry about it, because
you'll still have TV, you'll still have entertainment shows.
Yeah, they won't be like no bombers flying over. Will be
be missiles flying over
drones. It's a completely different drone war.
It's very drone 2020 and
coined in 2020 Exactly.
So he affirms the war.
Europe will I suspect not returned to the 31 years but it
will return to humanity. They will have their wars they will
have their peace, they will live their lives. It will not be 100
million dead. But the idea of the European exceptionalism I
think is the one suffering the first death there will be
conflict there was conflict in Yugoslavia and there's certainly
conflict now in Ukraine as to the relationship to the United
States we no longer have a relationship with Europe we have
relationship with Romania we have relationship with France
there is no Europe just have a relationship with
now I thought that was pretty interesting.
Yeah
Are you on the can or what are you doing
with the show
sorry, I didn't know that you would walk away from the
program?
No, I'm just gonna I gotta try to get to the printer but then
you caught me in my well
that's okay. But these are shorter clips because I started
the show I
don't try to bother me like I do a long clip so I can go to the
printer okay,
this is another short one. Hold on. Okay. This is the real enemy
that who are we are really combating now we are all we're
putting it all on Russia and Putin. But it would really be a
combo enemy primordial
interest of the United States over which first century we have
fought wars the first second Cold War has been the
relationship between Germany and Russia because unite They're the
only force that could threaten us. And to make sure that that
doesn't happen. Hmm.
I couldn't understand a word he said, really? And I don't know
why it was just it was the other day I was just finding Oh, I
couldn't understand him was mumbling.
Oh, he said the law and you need to hear this essential.
And I know what he said. He said that the Germans and the
Russians are the only two people who give a crap about because
if they're combined,
oh, okay, miss that.
That's the part that he's that's the point he's making. If
they're combined, go ahead and get up and go to your printer.
But keep the speakers on because I'm going to I'm going to take
you down to a new level here.
Down to a new level up to a new low. I
think it's down whenever we're involved in someone else's
country things down the level.
And by the way, the last time the Germans and the Russians
said that they were pulling they're getting their act
together. Was that that Hitler agreement where there were non
aggression pact? Yeah. And that didn't fly they the Germans and
the Russians don't get along. No, no, no matter what this guy
thinks. But anyway, go on.
Well, but he has he done well, actually.
I know if I get his point. It's a good point. But no.
Okay.
Go get go to your printer. I'm going to play now the, our
involvement in this whole spiel, specifically with the Ukrainian
army. 10
days ago, General Hodges commander, US Army Europe,
visited Ukraine. He announced that US trainers will officially
be coming, just artificially cutting. He actually pin metals
on Ukrainian fighters, which by protocol of the military is not
the foreigners don't get depend on, you know, metals. But he
did, showing that this was his army. He then left and in the
Baltics announced that the United States would be pre
positioning armor, artillery, and other equipment in the
Baltics, Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria, which is a very
interesting point. So the United States and now yesterday the
United States announced that we'd be sending weapons tonight
of course they denied it, but they are weapons, though. In all
of this stuff.
Hold on a second. I think we lost John. Let's see what
happened.
Huh. Oh, boy, we're trying to reconnect. There we go. Back to
hero hero. No, disconnected again. Wow. Yeah, I heard the
whoosh tube. That's the only reason I knew how it was gone.
Just start that clip over is no problem. He probably went to go
to the printer then tripped over something. Hello.
Hey, why oh guy, believe me. Everything has its problems.
Everything has a drawback. Skype is the best so far.
It's actually been pretty good the past couple of months. I
would say we haven't had too many problems it's that yeah,
it's the hex of the show. It's the hex so it's the Cinco Demayo
hex
Yeah, I'm not believe in it.
So I just start the clip over.
Yeah, please. 10 days ago general Hodges Commander US Army
Europe. Visitor Ukraine. He announced that US trainers will
officially be coming just officially coming up he actually
pin medals on Ukrainian fighters. Which by protocol to
the military is
not. Isn't that brazen. John. Our guys come in and say we'll
do the MIT we'll do the medal ceremony. Boy really? going
again?
They'll make the same damn joke. Okay. I can do it.
Johnny Boy, where are ya? Yo. Hello. This this is what what
happens Skype upgrades the experience and you're fucked.
You betcha. You watch fucking betcha. Bastards. Fuck wads.
Maybe it's the news bite. The news byte actually is sending
some weird now I'm not connecting to him. So it's more
than that. It's a connectivity issue. Which could easily be
mine thanks for zero Yeah, i Damn it.
Yeah, yeah, they've been chats working streams working. Can we
play the fat lady? That's maybe a good idea. Like I can redeem
myself
connecting again. Are you there? Yeah. Hey, I'm gonna change
connections. Okay. All right
I'm getting reports of net outages all over the place. Like
there was some huge bump. Oh make sense. Ides of March? The
four blood moons. imperfect people.
You back blank the moons?
Yeah, the four blood moons. I was thinking maybe we should
just do the Cinco Demayo and just get it over where there was
the will that will not work.
I'm afraid that starts from the very beginning. No,
no, screw it. I'll reset. Okay,
start to clip again. I think we hold on this time.
10 days ago, General Hodges Commander US Army Europe visited
Ukraine. He announced that US trainers without officially
becoming just officially covered. He actually pin metals
and Ukrainian fighters, which by protocol of the military is not
the fight over.
What do you think about that? What's interesting, pretty
brazen, hey, hey, we're in charge here. We're going to do
the metals, whoever. General martyrs
don't get depend on, you know, metals. But he did. Showing that
this was his army. He then left and in the Baltics announced
that the United States would be prepositioning armor, artillery
and other equipment in the Baltics, Poland, Romania, and
Bulgaria, which is a very interesting point. So the United
States and now yesterday the United States announced that
we'd be sending weapons tonight of course they denied it, but
they are weapons will go. In all of this, the United States has
acted outside the context of NATO. Because NATO has to have a
100% vote any one country can veto anything. And the Turks
will veto it just for giggles. The point is that the United
States is prepared to create a cordon sanitaire around Russia.
There it
is. These guys a couple of these, the core don't Sonny
tear, which as you could tell from my pronunciation is a
French phrase, literally translated means sanitary
Cordon, originally didn't Don't denote it a barrier implemented
to stop the spread of disease such as the Black Death. The
term has also been used in English in metaphorical sense,
referred to attempt to prevent the spread of an ideology deemed
unwanted or dangerous, such as the containment policy adopted
by George F. Kennan against the Soviet Union. So we are pulling
out apparently a form of an old script.
And I think you still with me, right? Yeah. Okay. I can't see
that. I think he actually goes one step further in this. That's
the next question
knows it. Russia believes that the United States intends to
break the Russian Federation. I think that as Peter Lorre put
it, we don't want to kill you. We just want to hurt you a
little bit. Either way, we are back at the old game. And if you
go ask a poll or a Hungarian or Romanian, they live in a totally
different universe from a German, and they live in a
totally different universe from a Spaniard. So there is no
commonality in Europe. But if I were Ukrainian, I would do
exactly what they do. Try to draw the Americans in.
So he has so he takes his concept of the Kordon Sunday
tear and brings in another old military concept.
Do it back off for a second did he does he have a rationale for
this in the desert, he has an outline of what we're knowing
know. Well, I think maybe the inter Mariam explains what we're
doing, that's this clip, as
the currency will not survive.
The question on the table for the Russians is will they retain
a buffer zone that's at least neutral? Or will the West
penetrate so far in Ukraine that they're 70 miles away from
Stalingrad, and 300 miles away from Moscow?
I think that is basically what we're doing. That's the idea.
Why invade Russia? Well, yeah, the war not to kill them, but to
hurt them. Let's not
show the status of Ukraine is an existential threat. too. And the
Russians cannot let go for the United States, in the event that
Russia holds onto the Ukraine, where will it stop? Therefore,
it's not an accident that general Hodges, who's been
appointed to be blamed for all of this is talking about pre
positioning troops in Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, and the
Baltics. This is the intermodal from the for the Black Sea to
the Baltic. Yeah, that's
a that's a concept, the intermedium that I think dates
back to Crikey.
It's a concept but not a rationale. But
okay, what what other rationale then yeah, we want to completely
block Russia off and make them weak. Isn't isn't that known as
why now? Why, what? Why we can all gotta have something to do.
That's No, right. Yeah.
All right. To increase the military industrial complex,
that more and more I mean, we have to place all this stuff all
the the President went is that simple job the President went to
all these states, hey, you're not up to your 2% of GDP on
military spending. You got to up the ante. Come on. We're gonna
give you a reason. Here's the reason we're coming in with our
training will actually they're gonna giving weapons, we're
selling weapons. So it's, come on that's that's what this is
always about.
We got plenty of markets for that. But this has pissed off
the Russians. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I mean, I
guess you could may scare as long as long as they're gonna
come and get you. The Russians are gonna get you? Well,
look, I mean, Europe, this is exactly what people think. The
Russians have done Oh, you're gonna get you've already started
already killed 300 people shot down the plane, John? Yes. Yes,
that's what this is about. The question is, what will Germany
do that I think is weird what this comes down to because this
effectively cuts all the way down the middle between the
Baltic and the Black Sea, which creates this huge buffer zone.
And then if we if we move all the way, we are kind of Ukraine?
Well, that's annoying when you do that. If you're Russia, but
the maybe it's to just cut off Germany,
that Pilsudski draft of this is this is the solution for the
United States. The issue to which we don't have the answers,
what will Germany do? So the real wildcard in Europe or by
the way, the intermarrying was a World War One tactic. Which
didn't work.
Yeah, it didn't we have some thesis on this show. That it's
been forgotten or overlooked or wasn't emphasized enough some
time ago. That has something to do with Germany.
And wow, well, they were they were
gone on we talked about the about how
to screw the Germans out of something or other? Well, it
would cause in trouble.
He had the problem with German Germany. And actually he talks
about this and in a second clip, but let me I just finished this
one. Maybe it'll help jog our memory. I think it was because
of the the Euro the recycling euro or something. We talked
about how the Russians have to it also keeps the Euro up which
witness what's happening. There's maybe a lot of different
plans coming together with this
is that as the United States builds this court on sanitaire,
not in Ukraine, but to the west, and the Russians tried to figure
out how to leverage the Ukrainians out. We don't know
the German position. Germany is in a very peculiar position. Its
former chancellor Gerhard Schroeder is on the board of
Gazprom. They have a very complex relationship to the
Russians. The Germans themselves don't know what to do. They must
export the Russians can't take up the export, on the other
hand, that they lose the Free Trade Zone. They need to build
something different.
didn't quite understand what he meant there. Who would lose what
the Russians would lose the Free Trade Zone?
No, the Germans may have to trade with Russia, right? Yeah.
The Russians are really trade a lot. That's that's where
all the money comes from. Exactly.
For the United States to primordial fears German
technology and German capital, Russian read natural resources,
Russian manpower as the only combination that has for
centuries scare the hell out of the United States.
Okay. Now, that's it. That's it. We don't trust the Germans
dumb crowds. You don't want your money and your technology being
connected to Russia's resources and bare chested leader?
Well, I think it's a bit much to say for centuries. This is the
only thing that has frightened the United States for centuries
is not The Case for centuries of Well, that's wrong or scared by
the most, obviously the British that were always, you know,
trying to get their place back.
I agree. You just You just don't like this guy.
Well, I think he's a bit loose with his analysis.
Well, let's listen then to the final clip I have on him, which
I think fits in exactly what we've always been saying, if you
look at the Middle East, is to verbalize the place.
That's our thesis. It's a broad one. Very simple.
We we have several other themes that go along with that, but in
general, is just to realize the place Yeah,
he's just look at the photos. And you can see what they were
very successful. Yeah, you just cut out for a second. So I don't
know if you if you want to. Comcast, alright,
the United States has a fundamental interest. It
controls all the oceans of the world. No power has ever done
that. Because of that, we get to invade people, and they don't
get to invade us.
Do we rocker, what a nice thing, the very nice thing. Yes,
maintaining control to see and control the space is the
foundation of our power. The best way to defeat an enemy
fleet is to not let it be built. The way that British managed to
make certain that no European power could build a fleet was to
make sure the Europeans are at each other's throats. The policy
that I would recommend is the one that Ronald Reagan adopted
toward Iran and Iraq. He funded both sides. So they would fight
each other and not fight us. This was cynical, it was
certainly not moral. It worked. And this is the point, the
United States cannot occupy Eurasia. The moment the first
boot sets the ground, the demographic differential is we
are totally outnumbered, we can defeat an army, we cannot occupy
Iraq, the idea 130,000 men would occupy a country of 25 million.
Well, the ratio in New York of cops to citizens was greater
than we had deployed in Iraq. So we don't have the ability to go
across. But we do have the ability to first support various
contending powers. So they concentrated themselves with
political support, some economic support, military support
advisors, and in extremists do what we did in Japan, in
Vietnam, in Iraq, and in Afghanistan, spoiling attacks.
It sounds like this sounds kind of like our plan. Just throwing
some ISIS in there, some al Qaeda, whatever fraction we want
to call it, and let them all beat each other over the head.
Well, he has seen his premise
here that bothers me now. Okay. He starts off with the premise
that Reagan funded both Iran which I find very sketchy
because we're at Reagan came in right after the Iranians were
taken over by the Mulas. And we were it was a very cold era
between the United States and Iran. So I don't know how we
were funding them. But he says we were so let's just go with
that anyway. All right. And we're sorry, we're funding the
two of them so they'd fight each other. So they wouldn't fight
us, where they coming over here to fight us. His other premises
that we own the oceans, and so no one can ever attack us. So
how does this rationale even work in a million years? This
guy is one of those characters who throws stuff together. It
sounds kind of right. Oh, yeah. And a lot of it's bullshit. And
he throws it all together. And it sounds like some sort of
thesis when there's no thesis here. And he then he throws in
some World War One crap for it on sanitaire,
I liked that. I liked the old plans. I'd like that.
Makes sense to me. I'm not saying he's he has the answers.
This guy's totally full of shit. Man, my conclusion listening to
these clips
than I did, then I can't even finish. I can't listen to him
anymore. It's no good.
You can listen to him. I mean, he does have something good to
say. But he's covered it up with a bunch of just nonsense.
Okay, I accept that.
I feel bad. But all right. I don't know why you should feel
bad. I mean, it's interesting. You guys out there pushing this
agenda? I mean, what is the what is his rationale? Why is he
doing this?
Well, that's always that's always the question.
You know, I wonder what he's selling
us. Do you not think it sounds feasible that we're putting
together this? Inter Mario
less I believe anything he says is a record Ron thing was enough
to that was it. They were going to come over here and you didn't
fight us. And again, I would reiterate in 1979 when the
Iranians had a revolution and put these Mulas in it From 1981
Reagan got in to 1988 when Reagan got out, there would
there was no way we were giving them anything.
Well, to me it sounds like he is telling the story is,
there wasn't a moment where there was guns for, you know,
drugs and this sort of thing that went on. But it's, it
wasn't anything that would amount to a hill of beans in the
scheme of things if you really is going to arm some some
country to the teeth. And let them fight each other. And then
we get screwed on that deal. Talk about causing us a lot of
money. And we really got screwed. The American public got
screwed monetarily by rubble lysing, the Middle East and what
we got out of it. Well, maybe we got some good oil contracts.
Maybe there was some other action that was going on. I
don't see the net net coming out favorably on our side.
Well, then it goes back to well, that goes back to my original
analysis. These people, they feel like they got to do
something. And nothing better to do maybe. No. Well, here's a
former Army General Robert scales take up knitting.
In testimony.
He tells us exactly how we can get everything going
Ukraine. Yeah. 3000 US troops deploying to Eastern Europe.
Some armor will be going with, right, apparently, the one
effect and what do you expect,
I think, to no effect flew its game set and match in the
Ukraine, the only way the United States can have any effect in
this region and turn the tide is to start killing Russians,
killing Russians by killing so many Russians that even Putin's
media can't hide the fact that Russians are returning to the
motherland and bodybags. But given the amount of No, I think
that's I think that is the plan. That's what we're doing.
bomb them. We need to kill them, bomb them, bomb them. We need to
kill him, bomb them, bomb them. We need to bomb them. We need to
kill them and bomb them again.
Yes, we're good at it.
Well, I'm going to bring this back to a simple answer to the
whole thing. Because all this began. And if you look at the
Ukraine situation, everything else it all began after a
certain moment in history. And that was when the Russians took
in Snowden.
Guess That is the moment it does correspond just like co2 to
global
warming. Snowden was being who's given a safe haven in Russia and
ever since then, this has been continuing. And then before
that, I don't notice that anything was I mean, there was a
lot of action in the Middle East but and there was some the
Syrian thing had begun, but none of this other stuff. And so I'm
gonna just stick with the old thesis. Give a give the Russia
give us up Snowden all as well.
That's all well, then I think we need to have a petition on
whitehouse.gov about this because then we can just end
this malarkey the the the the letter that you correctly
identified as being a big deal that the 47 Republicans signed
it yeah, by the way, I made a mistake on that. It wasn't a
series of congressmen it was all Senate senators. Yes. So they're
a complete idiots but but well, it's
it's obviously gotten some this there's something going on that
is interesting to watch, particularly as it regards the
letter. My favorite propaganda organization vice has announced
that they will be releasing a interview with President Obama
today. Very, very slick campaign. I think that this is
this is one of the better pieces of work they have. Their promos
are being played on the cable news shows those really being
hyped up. And I have the trailer right now and just listen to
what the President is saying this interview. And this is all
beauty shots. It's really high energy high cut the big pompous
president coming off Air Force One You know, you know the
drill, right? But really, Team Obama
he's badass,
no drama. Kick it out. Are
you a masochist? We're not acting in a sane and rational
way.
That's disturbing. Let's take something like climate change.
Let's you know, it seems that from the outside from the
inside, so I'm embarrassed for them, for them to dress a letter
to the Ayatollah, who they claim as our mortal enemy. And their
basic argument to them is don't deal with our president because
you can't trust him to follow through on an agreement. That's
close. to unprecedented this last question or
number one question from everyone on the internet for
young people. I'm sorry, but if you legalize marijuana, it would
be the biggest part of your legacy. So what are your
thoughts on
what a cliffhanger.
So this is and it's that same guy, you know, the the founder
of vice. Yeah, he has sued on funny. Yeah, now you look all
Oh, nice. Oh, cleaned up. Um, so here's Jen Psaki piling on top
of this PR effort, because it's very obvious what it is now. And
she actually during Andrew Mitchell show on CNN, who plays
that, that that bit about the letter. Hello.
Let me interrupt for a quick second. There was a long
exposition on frontline, which is one of the more accurate
presenters of news information about how Obama reneged on a
deal he did with Boehner during one of the drinking centers
about four years ago when they were doing that budget or
something and they put everyone on board and Obama came up with
and agree on a specific thing. This is what created this
chilliness between Boehner and Obama because he, Obama lied to
Boehner. Okay. He said he was gonna do one thing and did
another was very well documented. And I think this
probably goes on with I think it is Obama's style. He does this,
but we don't know what it is. It's just irrelevant. It's
irrelevant to the, okay, that's what I'm gonna say, which is
that if Obama is doing anything like this, where you can't trust
him. This is a payback to the letter guy. So you can't trust
this guy. A hunch is because because when you are, when
Boehner was screwed by Obama, it was not only a there was like I
said, there's a entire hour presentation on this. And by
frontline, there was nothing Boehner could really do about it
to screw him back. It said just be angry and all the publicity
turned against Boehner as you know, weirdo. You know what that
is man. Again, against gay overtones on him. There's never
been a quid pro quo on this and this possibly as part of it. The
Senate's Well, the seven senators saying is for all
practical purposes, saying ha. Hey, we get it. We're here we're
let's we'll do we'll give them the screw job.
No, I've got information,
man.
New shit has come to light. I'll give this to you, then. So
cotton. Well, let me do it in order that might be a little bit
easier, but have new information you should just come to light.
First let's listen to Saki piling on just you can see
really what what the idea here is to really make the republican
party look like morons. And as I said, Andrew Mitchell even
replays a part of this vise promo, which is clear, this is
now a setup. This is a a coordinated effort.
I'm embarrassed for them, for them to dress a letter to the
Ayatollah, who they claim as our mortal enemy. And their basic
argument to them is don't deal with our president, because you
can't trust him.
That is that really makes sense with what you just said. But him
saying exactly that. don't deal with that President because you
can't trust him, which is exactly the opinion of Boehner
as you retell it right. Yeah.
Follow through on an agreement that's close to unprecedented.
State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki joins me now Friday.
I hate that. But Hi, Jen. Hi, Andrea. Hi, John. How are you?
Hey, I'm here to be adversarial. Okay, just play along.
get annoying. Hi. Got better than that on a clip here.
You want to do it now.
If you want to do an aside, I want to get back to the point I
want to finish here and then I'll throw somebody. Okay,
that's close to segue. There it
is. Hi, Jen. Hi, Andrea. Hey, hey, come on over and have some
dinner at the Greenspan's.
State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki joins me now. Hi. Hi.
Can I talk about that
we should just Hi, John.
Hey, John letter and what these Republican senators did. You've
heard what the President said. US here with Secretary Kerry
when he lambasted them in his head. How does that
isn't lambasted? I've never heard him say
lambasting. lambaste? Is
that okay? Yeah.
Lamb bet you're basing your lasted. Yeah. And lambasting.
Ah.
So what is lambasting? What is lambasted? I've
heard it both ways. So it's
influenced what Iran does at the negotiating table starting
Sunday.
Well, the negotiations remain remain between the negotiator.
So do we think that wow,
this is a very astute comments. The negotiations remained
between negotiators
write that one down, but I like what she
does. Jen is good man. She is good. So she's going to take
this question she's going to say something completely
nonsensical, which is obviously logical. And then she's going to
ask her own question and answer that. This is this is a this is
a very, very well trained a PR person. Listen how she does
this, or this. Well, I
want to remind people that we do have this thesis on the show
that the best off you skaters say things like you asked me a
question. So Well, the question you should be asking is she
doesn't even better than that, even better, never addressed it.
She is so brazen this well, she's good. She's good. I think,
yeah. Motherhood will do her. Well. Something's bubbling up.
And she's just nailing
testimony. How does that influence what arann does at the
negotiating table starting Sunday,
while the negotiations remain remain between the negotiator so
do we think this is going to have a direct impact on the
room? No.
Wow, is that good or what? This fantastic. It's just so slick.
Well, it was completely brushed the question off beautifully.
The first
he throws a little thing out there, then the know what
you do a cordon sanitaire getting
exactly
what you want to say?
No. But the fact is, as the President said, this is nearly
unprecedented. It's bringing into question, what has been
precedent
notice, they're also saying nearly unprecedented, which
means there's something out there, we still have to find.
Because these guys are smart.
That's a big question I catch. Eerily. I'm really unprecedent.
So that is unprecedented. And
I think it means that a bunch of Democrats did this at some point
in history or some something really unprecedent something
that is not exactly in their best interest.
By the way, they throw it out to the they throw it out. There is
no one's ever done anything like this. It's and then they use
nearly unprecedent. So did
the President in that piece, he says it's nearly unprecedented.
But I think he almost swallows
notes about what it was that happened before by whoever. Yes.
And, and originally, they're gonna say, Well, this is
unprecedented. They did this. And so no, no, don't say that.
Because then you're gonna get busted.
Here's his here's your chance chat room. Find that before the
end of the show. That's
bringing into question what has been precedent for hundreds of
years back to when members of Congress are writing course. And
wait, did Nixon do something like this with the North
Vietnamese?
When Nixon was president,
they're talking about I believe they're talking about the Senate
or the House or or the Congress doing something outside doing an
end run on the president in a very bold and brazen way. That's
got it. Got it have happened a number of times.
Oh, my second, I have something here.
Inevitable comparison with a 1968 conspiracy by Richard
Nixon, through white right wing campaign official and a channel
to encourage the Vietnamese government of President knowing
ban to to boycott peace talks in Paris. And
that's probably what
what the nearly unprecedented refers to I don't I'm not
familiar with that. A being or that with what happened there.
But again, Nixon was the president, and more or less it
was before he ran for president
1968 I believe it was President's campaign official.
Ah,
well, this way this way, you could also use this when Reagan
ran for president in 1980. In 79, they were trying to get the
hostages released from the council and there was an
encouragement by someone behind the scenes to keep them there.
So So runner couldn't win.
That was Yeah, exactly. Well, let's just listen to the rest of
Gen Z little spiel,
okay, he's to do their jobs. So it really does bring you gotta
hear
this because that's actually Oh, did I skip ahead? I do here. I'm
sorry. Did I sound maybe it was over I guess. I guess it was
over. Yeah, hearing okay.
This is this is the reason why I think cotton is the leader of
this, of this letter of this group. For and he's getting
attention for two which immediately has me interested.
Why are people like Howard Dean, commenting on this guy if they
know it's all the 47 Republicans, but he's the only
guy that is actually being touted and you and I did a
little bit of research post show on Thursday on the guy what you
might want to talk about. Here's Howard Dean on the Cotton
letter.
I'm very surprised at this. First of all, I was very
surprised McCain signed the letter in the first place. He's
he gets what you're supposed to do. He was a prisoner of war and
Hanoi for a very long time. And I don't think he'd probably
liked it very much when Jane Fonda went over there had a few
things to say. And I think this is somewhat similar. I think God
doesn't get a kindness of veterans. You know, he was he
had a decorated career and in the army, he's a Rhodes scholar
of all people, he should know that you don't do this. I mean,
if you serve the army with a commander in chief, you don't do
this. You can disagree. I don't disagree with what he said. He
has a right to say that to right to give comfort to the enemy,
which is the hard line in Iran. I think was shocking, just
shocking. And I'm very surprised we came sign your letter. I
think he's having second thoughts just
shocked. I'm shocked at her just so shocking. So cotton turns out
is number one protege of Bill Kristol. Interesting, yes. And
Bill Kristol. So Bill Kristol is one of the premier Neo cons
project for New American Century have now of course, still mixed
up with the Kagan's and the now the
list of one of the leaders of the whole movement, and a bunch
of and he's been telling me this turn Neo cons and he's been
tweeting that he feels cotton would be the perfect vice
presidential candidate. Oh, good kid. Good. Oh, that's
a great cast. So
that and that is why I would think Saki is trying to
discredit him as well.
I'm embarrassed for them. For that, shoot.
Come on. I'll get passed on that. I'm sorry. Here it is.
Okay. The
senators did. And you've heard what the President said, us,
Secretary Kerry, when he lambasted them in his Hill
testimony, how does that influence what Iran does at the
negotiating table starting Sunday? Well, the
negotiations remain remain between the negotiator. So do we
think this is going to have a direct impact on the room? No.
But the fact is, as the President said, this is nearly
unprecedented. It's bringing into question what has been
precedent for hundreds of years back to when members of Congress
are riding horse and buggies to do their jobs. So it really does
bring into question whether they want to see
I'm sorry, this was the horse and buggy thing, which I thought
was just her slamming the Republicans, but for some reason
I don't have
oh, actually very good catch. Yes, but I don't know what she
was doing. Yeah,
but I don't have her talking about cotton. I'm sorry. I don't
have
that one. Okay, like the horse and buggy.
The horse and buggy is nice. It's cute. So we've got all that
going on is cute. And, and it seems like Well, then, of
course, if you want to look at cotton, his number one donor.
Guess a pack? Of course. So yeah. So this is the Jewish
Lobby, Israeli lobby, I should say, that is funding him. And
it's it's, you know, it's obvious. It's not even being
hidden. So he is he is the boy for vice president and I think
that he'll be good for that. We, you know, we well, yeah, because
he's being blackmailed. Because the guy had to have a shotgun
wedding. He's obviously gay. Like Tim Cook gay. Just look at
him.
Well, this is the problem.
I'll say it. I'll just say it guys being black.
We did a little research on this guy and he's obviously gay. And
there's a lot of assertions that he only got married to some
woman that they've never found a picture of him and her before
beard. The marriage is they just the right shot? It's a political
shotgun wedding here marry this woman and you're gonna look
good.
I just have to explain Tim Cook gay is he There's pictures of
him with the the hiked up jeans. He's like, he's dressed like Tim
Cook. Yeah, it's all and obviously you can tell if
someone's gay by what they wear. I mean, this is known.
If you if you look around enough, they actually like to
wear if you're beside the point where there's gear and happy
because I think it's important to the to the it is Kratz that
he's gay. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah. And the idea is, and I'm going
to be, you know, and I, again, I don't care if he's gay, but you
know, if he's going to cover up being gay, let's assume, and
we're going to make these assumptions for this analysis
for this analysis. And this is what the Democrats want. The
Democrats may well be behind by by bringing heat by bringing his
name to the fore. Hmm, they have made him the candidate Bill
Kristol. Who is an idiot
what Chris he switches sighs Yeah, of course. He
says, Oh, we get another neocon and we can do some more of these
wars. And you know, the chicken hawks is what you might want to
call them and not in the gay sense but in the sense of being
warmongers. Which is funny that term, goat crosses right. And
you get the guy and then And somehow we as the as the as the
campaign progresses it's revealed yes gay and all the
Republicans and I'm going to make this book and roll their
eyes but Republicans are more inclined to vote based on
whether somebody's gay or not and they won't and not all of
them by any means but enough of them to screw up the vote and
get get in ruin the campaigning.
A gay Trojan horse a gay Trojan horse exactly
alright gay Trojan go Yeah,
yeah all right. That's already implied in the whole title you
don't
know I think that's fine. And this cotton guy looks play it
will play the part Hold on a second dude.
Breaking news. Just I just received from who else? Breaking
Trojan knew we have broke breaking Trojan news. This is
from Who else but Brian the gay Crusader. Okay, anonymous, we
spotted very anti gay Republican Representative Tom Cotton,
Republican at DC gay bar and they have photo evidence.
And so it begins.
This doesn't surprise me.
Well, you nailed it. You nailed it. There it is. Apparently, he
appeared on Grindr.
Oh, yeah, let's run this guy for vice president. Democrats, the
Democrats. This is Bill Kristol. And these guys again, they're
idiots. Democrats are playing them like the fools that they
all like Avaya like a Stradivarius or vice president.
This again? Hopefully we'll get nipped in the bud. This is
this is this is so beautiful. It's like literally playing a
Stradivarius. The music is so sweet to my ears. Oh, wait a
minute. Yeah. I'm sorry. An NRA endorsement of cotton appeared
on Grindr. What the hell does that mean?
Okay, well,
at any rate, that we have photographic evidence, I'm
seeing him here in the DC gay bar, looking rather quizzical.
What am I doing here?
Why am I here? Can you guys tell me where the girls are? I'm
really interested in finding out where the girls are. I don't see
any. Why is that? This weird? That's very strange. What do I
make of this? Can you? Can you explain to me what do I make up
this?
I was picking up a friend. No. What will the excuse me? He's
got to come up with something for this.
What do you say in that case?
I was an accent. I didn't
know i No. No, no, here's, it's just a case of misunderstanding.
It happens all the time. And I can prove it. So you take your
hose, and you roll that sucker as far in as you can get it and
then some guy, some dude behind you is blasting you with his
owns.
A couple of guys gone gets better. So you're getting
blasted, so you can stay cool. is really high.
It's just mistaken identity can happen to anybody?
Well, anyway, this guy has been set up. And it's okay, you know,
he's probably shouldn't even gotten elected there. Now, this
is a wedding thing is the one that there's some nasty stuff on
the web about this character. Yeah.
But there is this whole concerted effort. Now, I think I
made a mistake I might have misunderstood for Reba. She said
that the no ruse was on the 31st. I believe she might have
said the 21st. And in Dutch with an Iranian accent, I might have
misunderstood it. But so I looked it up. And no ruse is on
the 21st of March, not the 31st. And what's going to happen
again? That's the Iranian New Year 1393. On the 21st. Okay,
when you're coming up? Yeah. But the Obamas were already
celebrating the ruse at this very important time in the
negotiation. If they were doing that at the White House. Hello,
everyone. Yeah,
what was that? That's Iranian. Happy New Year. Yeah. Happy New
Year. Yeah. But isn't it the 21st? Yes. If this is the last
one. Was this like the 14th last week or teen? Yeah.
I don't know why she does it early. Other than positioning,
sending a message to Iran.
television, television coverage, maybe
there was not a lot of television coverage that I saw.
Well, of course, I'm in Europe. So CNN is about it. We didn't
see I didn't see anything here. And then we had the at the same
time. We the President came out with a notice on the 15th of
March for the continuation of the National Emergency with
respect to Iran, which stems from executive order 12 957 of
March 15 1995, which is have been renewed ever since. What is
that now? 20 years
95 2005 1020 years executive order. So
let's just stop the analysis and go back to the thesis that we
can be and which will help in this conversation. Okay? We want
them to have a bomb. Yes. Right now that's something if the
Stratfor guys said that, I'd say okay, well, he's at least he's
on that one. But we want them to have a bomb because that will
set off a bunch of sales for arms and defense mechanisms and
anti missile systems and all the rest of which are very
expensive. By the way anti missile systems are probably the
most cause seems to me looking at the prices.
When you're out shopping recently,
shopping around. It looks to me you can buy a howitzer pretty
cheap, but an anti missile system now you need to talk
about some billions to get the place outfitted. You got to put
them all over the places. The anti missile system is what I
would call the modern version of the Maginot Line. Which was
seemed like a good idea at the time, the Maginot Line. Yeah,
the one that the French put up to stop the Germans from ever
invading again.
Where was that? Where was? Where was the marginal line?
It was over the n dimensional area. Hey, thanks, orders for
you look it up. Don't Google it, you'll find a magic line. So
they figure the Germans and the Germans says look at what is
this this art this pot this big, huge. It's like a giant four to
you know, kind of massive cement thing. And it goes on forever.
So what do we have to do? We have to walk around it. Okay,
well, let's just do that. You know, this.
This actually reminds this is something that I had for the
last show about the Durand Line. Are you familiar with this? No.
Well, the sound we are following breaking news out of Pakistan,
at least 14 people have been killed after two suicide blasts
in the Christian community in the hall. The blast happened at
two different churches wandering Sunday Mass. I'm joined now by
journalists, Michelle Stockman in Islamabad. Michelle, what
more can you tell us exactly about what happened? We're
seeing some video shattered glass on our screens at the
moment just utter devastation. What do you know?
That's right. You sir. This is just another devastating attack
on the Christian community here in Pakistan. We understand from
the Deputy Inspector of Police in Lahore, that the blasts were
caused by suicide bombers. Okay,
so this is terrorism. And this is in an area that I've I've
always had my questions about was the Euro Ston, and this is
now it's actually the exact same height as Waziristan, just on
the other side of this kind of gray area. And I was see when
you in the Netherlands, I've taken a couple of Ubers. Most of
these guys are from the Middle East who are drew who are
driving the the licensed Uber so that you know they have official
taxi papers. And so I've talked to guys who have been from Iran,
from Iraq, from Afghanistan, I had this one guy who was driving
me and he told me what is going on. And it's about this thing
called the Durant line. And this is 100 years ago, very much like
we agreed where there was the agreement that after 100 years,
Hong Kong would be returned to China. This is about this land
between Afghanistan and Pakistan. And what's happening
is the Pakistanis are not giving it back. And so that's why the
Afghans are all they're trying to terrorism blowing shit up.
And that's why we've been drawing these guys, because we
have a pipeline that has to be protected going through that
area, and we can't we need full control. And I guess we're more
aligned with Pakistan than with with Afghanistan. That finally
answered the question for me.
The Durant line in the
measure line was actually armaments and
right. But this was just this was just a line, whatever the
case want to get out there.
Yeah, the point is, is that these missile defense systems,
you know, you shoot the missiles, different kinds of
missile you go around, I mean, if you're bringing a guy with a
bomb carrying a bomb, there's other ways to deal with, with
missiles. But these are very expensive systems. So that's
good. Yeah.
Right. The sad, you know, I wanted to say,
and we also I think we have at least a smart money, I would
hope has come to the conclusion that there's no time anytime
soon that Iran is going to build that say 100 missiles and send
them our way. It's just not going to happen that is not
going to do that. And if they did, of course, we would send
10,000 missiles and flatten the entire country, which we would
do. So that's not going to happen, but Israel is of course,
always being trend but Israel Well, now they've started to see
numbers. I've noticed numbers coming out of that when you see
reports about who has nukes, and Israel supposedly has 80 of
them. Yeah, they have wherewithal in the gear because
they get it from us to send those ad nukes any place they
want to and they can hit any spot in the Middle East so they
could flatten most of the places themselves and probably blow up
that big stone in Mecca.
That'll show him
that would I think would be very
that would be that would be pretty hardcore man to block the
big stone is it known as the Big Stone?
Now they call it something else. I can't remember the name of it,
but it's where you have to go what you know, once in your
life, you have to go walk around the thing. And it's, it's Mecca.
The second
the big block is very huge. It's a huge Kaabah the Kaaba. Yeah,
the Kaaba, the Kaaba.
There you go. Thank you and it means the cube Yeah,
it's a giant cube. And they wander around it they know what
happens when the cube opens up. fish at least I got it. Anybody
got that job?
I think there are people who got it
whatever the case they would Israelis if they're going to
give these guys are going to be an all out attack by the
Muslims. They will just blow up Mecca. And I think that would
that would
that would be Yeah, that would be blood on the moon.
That would change the world's events.
Speaking of which, now I know where it comes from. Blood on
the moon. Well, that's what my mom used to say. Adam Clark
curry if you don't stop that, right this minute, there'll be
blood on the moon.
And it means it does the
we have the blood moon we have the four blood moon today. Oh
no, I think it's this week. Okay, the four out of the four
Blood Moon is bad mojo man.
Well as it was for the show.
Seriously, this is the previous one I've read the previous four
Blood Moons where it's all by the way this thing that I had
it's all Jew related. superstition, it's all
superstition. Of course. It's like you know, the Holocaust.
Here it is. This is a movie coming out blood moons film. not
coincidental Of course. Here we go.
Oh, there's a movie coming out.
Of course. So here's the Blood Moon prophecy. A theory studied
and taught by some Christian ministers such as John Hagie I
guess that's the guy behind this and Mark bits are builts which
states that an ongoing trod This is very funny happens when these
take place and here's the what's the list here of the bed the
blood moons started the second world war killing the Jews and
apparently this will be the Middle East will melt down
during this Bloodmoon
April killing the Jews thing in during April 4 is when it starts
April time period that day. I don't see that you can put a
date on it. So pretty long process. But okay. For the
purposes of the argument, I'll buy it Bloodmoon
now it's the for Bloodmoon not for Bloodmoon or Bloodmoon has
to be for blimey
name for a rock band good enough
man All right. Well
so that's that's that it's all Snowden
what would that John C. Dvorak, I would like to thank you for
your courage and indeed say in the morning to you John C.
Dvorak.
In the morning you Adam curry into Moreno all the people out

sea. And the ships at sea
and the Morning everybody then the Chinese ships at sea left.

oceans. We must have plenty of ships at sea.
I hope they listen to the show. In the mornings everybody.
No agenda stream.com in the morning to nick the rat, and all
the other artists who are always diligently adding artwork to
make the album art look spectacular for the best podcast
in the universe. Nick, thank you for episode 703 And I'm trying
to recall what was the what was the art that Nick day did?
Some It was great.
Yeah, what was the episode logistics? I remember that. Oh,
it was the it was the douchebag calling on the Apple Watch.
Yeah, but do you notice the second little thing is they've
had the fog thing, calling from whatever it was. You look at
that closely. I didn't catch it the first time what says
yeah, it says He's a douchebag and what's it say?
Oh my poor calling from smog or something. I'm ready because he
was a reference to the electronic small logging that
you're all gonna get.
Oh, I'm gonna get the gold one because I'm that douchebag
What? What? I receive stuff.
And who sent you that? I
don't know, but it's I will not implicate anybody.
Okay, let me go look at this thing. Okay, it said douchebag
incoming smug.
Oh, I don't know. I don't understand the reference,
though. It's because the guy who went there was the clip about
this electronic smog around us of all these.
Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I remember I remember I remember. Yeah, it
was
a very clever little gag is sub gag which is nick the reason why
doesn't it? Yeah, I'm sorry, Nick and boat mark. JJ, those
are the two guys are competing with with each other for for
attention. And they always slip this little tip for the artists.
They always slip in a little just kind of a side gag or two,
sometimes three. That just were sub references that kind of fit
in and you just notice them if you're if you're paying
attention, which is very, very slick. Very subtle. All right,

Great from receita here she is brave man. Give it up.
And what happened to you will obey. I'm sorry, started this
one you will
obey you will obey you will obey.
You've got karma. Sorry.
All right. Now this is an interesting donation that we
have to discuss. I might want to move it to the end of this list.
I have I have a jingle for this. So Thomas Nussbaum, you have a
Nussbaum?
I apparently have a jingle for this. Yes. Yes, I do.
Nussbaum who's been around forever and a good friend of the
show. 314 15 Israel 314 15 from Virginia Beach, Virginia. So we
played the single site on heard. He says everyone should get a
John Fletcher ringtone pneus bombing anyone's and that's what
I'm doing. So you have an S bomb. So I have
two things. I knew this. They've been working together somehow.
And this is what I received on the previous show. What was that
newest bomb? That's Johnson. Today I received this. I have
not heard it yet.
Okay,
okay, now, here's what I did. This is another listener,
producer. Inspired Idea. Okay. Now, I don't know if none
Fletcher wants to do this. But I think if and I think this would
probably be we do a pie donation in the future. That we'll have
to talk this over a little bit about Okay. We have to talk us
over before we do this. Okay. Are we talking over now
especially This is the Miano we're at Target with Fletcher.
Oh, give a certain donation. Excuse me. Yeah. On the
following show or maybe once every couple of weeks or
something. Fletcher does all of these names news bomb divorce.
Hurry, Kieran and Bruce saw, you know, whatever, just a bunch of
in this screaming voice, which he does better than anyone in
the world then he is a gold mine this guy? Yeah.
Hey, we got to protect our assets.
We can give him a, like a knighthood just for that. Yeah.
Every single show he wants to do that every single show.
No, no, I said like every couple of weeks, we do accumulate that
people subscribe to to a Fletcher call out for their
ringtone. Ah, then we have a Fletcher fest, that we have a
Fletcher fest exactly as what we'd call it. We call it
Fletcher fest of him doing it with a pause between each one
and the guys can record the show and take him out and making
their ringtones and record put them in the show notes too. And
they or they could be shown as US download and it's having
probably a better idea. And that would be a donation level of
314 15. Permanently
Fletcher fest donation.
Yeah. Fletcher fest I'm liking it. I'm liking it, because
Fletcher's voice is I wouldn't mind having no four act
ringtone. You know, I think DEVAR
rack Yellin if you ever listened to the show?
Yeah, no, you have it. Play it.
Now I gotta find it.
Yeah, you make the you make the little. Yeah, no, I'm
a snide.
You fall on your face. That's right. Do you like that? Yeah,
she that's a great ringtone. It's hot. Okay. All right.
That's what I wanted to discuss. Good. I
think it's a grand idea that
it's up to Fletcher. That's true. He's, I mean, when I hear
him do this, I think to myself, Oh, my God, that poor man has
just blown out his voice.
John Fletcher says Adam see 99 Nine. I'm down for doing that.
He's DTF. He's down Fletcher.
I was lucky enough to to be old enough during the era when Janis
Joplin was floating around and I got to see your dad, did
you have sex with her because everybody else did. Apparently,
apparently,
I was the only one. Whatever the case, when you watched her
saying that thing that was interesting about it, because we
always was talking about this. She put so much into each song
You thought she was literally going to explode on the stage
ahead was nice PowerPoint. Then she do it again. And again. And
again. That's why I feel that Fletcher is the Janis Joplin,
vocalists. Whatever you call, well yell at someone, I
understand
you're trying to be complimentary. But today's kids
don't associate Janis Joplin with fantastic voice they
associated with drug overdose. Did you know that 3330 to 27,
whatever that
way, and it was never recorded, it was like the Grateful Dead,
you couldn't record them properly, because they were
mostly playing around with standing waves in the audience.
And you if you didn't hear the performance, you'd never get the
standing wave explain standing waves. standing wave is where
you have a bunch of bizarre it's hard to explain. But it's a wave
form that can create itself in the middle of just in the middle
of open air. And it is, if you had these little, the best
example I've ever seen. Visualizing a standing wave is
Bose used to have these speaker shops around the country. And
inside the speaker shop. They have a long tube that was filled
with these little like polyester foam balls, these little bitty
things. And then they would have their speaker pumping noise into
and the balls would bounce around showing the kind of the
notes that were coming out of the speaker. And they had a knob
and you could create a standing wave in the balls bounce in the
tube know the standing wave makes the balls go straight up
in the air and form a big like a like a line. Oh, cool.
Yeah. I've seen people do this with a tube with with the with
propane. I think Ryan with the bearded this, it'd be pumped
propane and it has holes in it and then it starts to dance
along with the music.
Right? And then you get it to stand at some point, right? And
the standing waves when they're in an audience and they wash
over you or even you'd maybe get stuck in one. His ice is the
weirdest feeling you'll ever have in your life.
Well this is so they should be creating dance clubs with this.
So you have a special spot the standing wave spot. In fact, the
club will be called the standing wave.
Well, you could do it the wave will move around. It's pretty
hard to control that much in a big open space but you can you
can create it and then make a reward wander around. And as it
wanders around, it hits you and you go oh If
I don't if that's the effect, let's not open the club. I don't
want that club.
It's a crazy thing when you have it hit you. And so the Grateful
Dead really made money off of this. That's why people I think,
follow them around
the dead created standing waves. Oh, yeah, there
was, yeah, there were two bands that were used to be in the 60s
and 70s. That, that banked on standing way. But they would do
that by with a knob that they could twist the angle of the
speaker of
the band itself at the beginning. This was created by
Sr. I'm off the track here. But yeah, but it's interesting. I
was Lee, the drug maker was also an audio in engineering, he
largely created the idea of the standing wave in the audience,
but he never made it. So it was like so powerful that until Bob
Hale actually became the became the
well that's interesting, because my experience was standing wave
is s WR, which stands for reflected standing waves, which
means your antennas impedance is not matched to your transmitter.
And then you the power you send out through your antenna is
reflected back and if it's above one to three ratio, you're
getting into territory where it can blow up your your final
power amplifier amplifier. Yeah, so that's why Heil, who was a
ham, big ham guy would have even thought to come up with this in
his in his audio products.
Well, Bobby was the guy who invented I'm doing an interview
with him and it's next Tuesday and now. Oh, cool. We post that
on the stringer as part of the no agenda, interviews.
Excellent. But Bob was the guy who largely is responsible. I'm
going to ask him this too, for blowing out the eardrums and
most of the American public. He's the one who came up with
the giant, the giant amps idea and made it so you could
actually hear things because before he came along, they
couldn't do it. Right. And so there was no really loud there
wasn't super loud bands until Bob and the late 60s. Really?
Yeah, he's the guy response for the for the, you know, blue
chair cream.
Bob Bob Hailes. He's like God.
Bob Heil is God. You
wow, I didn't know that. That's fine. That's that is I have
learned something usually you don't teach me much but
and then he, you know, became a microphone guy. But he still
does. You can still do what concerts there's a concert guy.
sound guy? Well, that'll teach everybody I believe it was
Owsley who came up with the idea of the standing wave as part of
the performance and I've talked to every sound engineer every
time I run into somebody worked in the sound side of the
Grateful Dead and asked him about this. I said you guys
created standing waves on purpose. And the guys always say
yes
to Hello long have you been a deadhead?
I've never been I've never liked the dead
Alright, that'll teach everyone for skipping the donation
segment. Say they didn't they didn't learn about standing
wave. Yes, exactly.
Good. Wow. Okay. Onward. Now we have the Fletcher thing
straightened out Willie the Lunasin. Dutch Yeah, toner

That's so interesting. All these great executive producers and
Associate Executive producers for contributing to show 704 The
production of 704 is all theirs. Who want to remind people go to
divorce.org/na? We have another show coming up on Thursday.
Yes, indeed. And there'll be ads. That will be our last show
from the lowlands, and I'll be in Amsterdam in the coming few
days. So I'll pick up some info and feedback and details from
the people out
there. I thought you were gonna go to London for their dinner.
I can't do it. That's just me. I had already planned this little
bit tight and then he has one or two extra things that pop up and
then just it was kind of good that I had the buffer but I just
can't go it alone. I just don't have the time to do that when
you visit You know, it's like, if you don't see any everybody,
and then I'll
paste off. But just don't tell them you there.
Yeah, that's what I told Patricia, don't tell anyone I'm
here. All right, the
next thing you know you're faced with the telegraph
exactly.org/and,
you're very much for your support of the program and
remember to be out there propagating our formula.
Our formula is this, we go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Play this little thing that I caught on CNN. And it kind of
pertains to our model. Of course, you heard our Executive
Associate Executive producers, who truly are financing the show
and will be thanking our other producers later on in the
program. Now, of course, this is a model that works for us it
works on on a on a limited scale, but it works, I think, is
the model of the future. Yeah, you'll be able to get by and
your community will support you the days of being billionaires
and media is over. Except for the happy few, but there is
going to be a lot of opportunity for people to get by. In
mainstream media, they have moved towards this native
advertising model. And we're looking we're seeing a lot of
this now in newspapers, New York Times does it all of the Murdoch
publications. I mean, you name it.
I just got a note from somebody that even that one of our
producers, and I can't remember it may be read later. He says
that he can't get his wife to listen to the show. But he has
gotten her to listen to reason about the scam of the regular
media, including native advertising where she says she
can spot then it turns out that he has found a believes I don't
I cannot confirm this. But he believes that Danielle Steele
the novelist is worth a billion dollars. Puts it in her books.
Oh, really? Product placement
I have. I have his email here. But why not? Producer Eric? My
wife is always suspicious of my no agenda leanings. But thanks
to you guys. I've shown her how to pick out native advertising.
Even in the novel she's reading it turns out Daniel Steele is a
douchebag. Well, let's douchebag. And I would have
never known if it wasn't for you. I wish we had an example
I'd like I'd like to have the example of what her yes side of
advertising is I think it'd be hilarious to see. And then of
course, we know a notch. Makes total sense. CNN also has to
make money. And they are they this is just brazen. This is a
commercial for a new for the military industrial complex.
It's a commercial about and it's really to get the money flowing.
But it's clearly been paid for this Chicky who I've never seen
before is presenting this it has. They keep cutting away to a
second camera from her talking from on profile, which is kind
of like a little package trick. We don't have any money. You
just know, you know, you read it again. Read it again from this
angle. What? Stop.
So you have somebody looking at the camera. Yeah, can you right?
Yeah. And then they cut and they she's still looking at the same
but the cameras over the site. And now she looks like she's
looking away. Yeah, it gives. He's that she's talking to
somebody else. But there's nobody there. Right? Why is
this? Why is this a thing? It looks stupid. It's the worst
case scenarios, they turn that second image that we're talking
about the bitching about ambit and inversive their mirror they
they put into black and white Oh, yeah. Black,
grainy, grainy black and white. No,
they didn't do that with this idea.
But the format is interesting. That's why I wanted to play
this. This is a minute 30 Which is, gee, that's exactly what
these things should be. I think that that is going to be the new
unit native admin 30 by 22nd it by 15 Second it by 32nd ad
native ad minute 30 It's it's minute 30. And they end it with
a journalistic trick which the New York Times does all the
time. Like I'm looking at you the tech section. But they do it
in a way of course, and it makes so much sense because technology
news is also just public relations. So all any man any
newspaper, any news organization, all they're doing
is promoting it promoting Apple stuff, but there's a little
thing at the end that I've seen imprint and now I'm hearing it
on CNN, which I think is the the it's kind of like the closer for
all native advertising. Have a listen this is about some new
stealth bomber that we need to get money for and we'll have
a new US stealth bombers in the works and the US Air Force says
it could be ready to see action by the mid 2020s
which this is a sales job for whoever selling this thing
obviously then we have big conferences all over.
I think this is the new bomber being jointly developed by
Boeing and Lockheed,
but they're taking orders. It was gonna be ready by 20. We'll
take an orders. It's called
a Long Range Strike Bomber, and US officials are touting it as
the next generation of US air dominance
sounds like news to me, not like a commercial.
So what exactly does this stealth bomber do? Well, the
project is classified and the Pentagon is being very truthful
lipped about its specific aircraft capabilities. What we
do know though is that it will fly undetected, carry
conventional and nuclear weapons, and be able to hit any
target on the globe
from anywhere, any target anyone, oh, hey, I have to have
this new thing that that Americans are building, we have
to buy this. So
why does the US need a new bomber? Well, part of it is to
replace the 50 year old b 52, and b one system, but also to
ensure that the US Air Force is ready to handle new threats as
they appear around the world.
By the way, when she's saying things like the B 52. system,
and she talks about platform. This is marketing,
marketing. So no journalist would ever say ever, ever or
it will be ready to see action. What is that form? It'll be
ready to see action. What porn? What kind of action are we gonna
see? Yeah, that's marketing. Not to
mention, it could also act as a nuclear deterrent. Since 2011,
the Pentagon has insisted that each plane could cost up to $550
million. But critics say that estimate is far too low. The
Pentagon asked for $1.2 billion from so
what we're doing here is we're telling the base the base
sticker price is 550 million but if you want all
the cool options, you get a stripped if you want this sucker
be decked out voters you want engines in it, though, do
you want your nuclear deterrence? You want to be able
to shoot anybody from anywhere in the wheel? Yeah, you want any
of that? Then I'm telling you the steering wheel, steering
column, maybe John steering wheel, then you're looking at
1.2 billion base, just so you know. All right potentials.
LRS B program in 2016
oil, so that's a good one zippy, what price freedom really when
you think about it, what price freedom
come 2020 That number is expected to rise to 3.7 billion,
you better start buying now. Because once we hit 2020 stocks
are gonna go it's gonna cost more build tripled, because a
lot more get in line early
officials and some experts argue that investing in modernized
capabilities are forced to cut down on their operational costs,
oh, it will cut down on your operational costs. Save saver is
beautiful. Now we have to wrap this up. And we have to have CNN
has to be allowed to seem like they're journalists. And this is
what the New York Times does. And I'm sure you're aware of
this trick
in the future, the Pentagon is ready to invest billions in the
Long Range Strike Bomber system over the next several years. But
whether or not it will solidify its dominance over the airspace
or break the bank and the process remains to be seen.
So it remains to be seen the New York Times and every single
Technology Review with whether this whether this iWatch will be
the Apple Watch will be popular remains to be seen. This is what
they always do. But
I've always avoided. i There's other ways of saying it. But
it's a voice. You should avoid any writer out there should
always avoid that kind of wimpy ending. Do you have an opinion
about the word? Well, you can't have an opinion glean any
information that you can make some sort of conclusion other
than I don't know.
I think the point is what you're saying you cannot have an
opinion if you're doing a native ad because that will always be
construed to the tour. Below the brighter can always be blamed on
well, you. You either you're screwed either way, either the
customer doesn't like it, or the audience can catch on it. wishy
washy,
horrible piece. And that bomber. Why doesn't somebody did
questions or I was thinking about this. There's different
kinds of interviewing and interviewing styles because I
was, you know, I was watching Larry King. He's got a certain
style, and we harken back to that he made a long time ago
about Howard Stern, who I always believes one of the greatest
interviewers in history, and he's never gets credit for it.
But he's a great and I agree. I agree. And I was so I'm watching
this show and let's let's play a few clips from this woman. I'm
watching valley girl which is paid for thing that is Tim
Draper the venture capitalist
daughter. Oh, wow. You uh you really took one for the team?
Like took off?
Watch this. Wow. Well, let's start with let's see. I got
three I should have three.
I see three clips. Yes, I would presume the the real girl would
be the first one possibly.
Yeah, let's try this go we start with the real ghost. I just want
to I'm only these are short clips. I just want to give you a
taste of the kind of lingo that we're going to have to listen to
for a few more clips. But let's listen to the real girl. You are
on the real how's it going?
Can we It was so much fun. We just got news that we got picked
up for our seconds. I know.
Everyone needs to watch the real
I'm so excited. Now,
hold on, hold on a second. Are you kidding me? No,
I have the same clip. Oh my god that is
had this. Okay, well let's back up that was actually should have
been the third clip so we'll play it again. So sure um so
because I just want you to hear the scream. But let's go with
the beginning of the show we have V this is the schmoozed.
She's she's talking about most of the show, it seems to me the
show is a paid for show. So they bought in half an hour of time
on the local station. They put the daughter on and she acts
like a dingbat. And I'm the Daddy Girl and all the rest of
it. And they bring in two or three companies, which Draper
funded companies and to be on the show.
Well, the dread that must be Draper funded companies. I would
be surprised if they weren't.
Well, the real is show. And that's we've had an honest show.
I always call five skanks.
No I understand but the companies they bring on I said,
I would hope so. Yeah, that wouldn't be disappointing if
they weren't
but it had didn't would they bring it celebrity on once in a
while did this girl that was the Asian looking woman on the Rio
came on and what she introduces there's two or three times and
let's start with the first introduction, which is the most
schmooze
fashion expert and all around style guru Jeanne Maya is going
to give us the lowdown on some fashion tech fashion
kill me fashio tech well that's the title if I ever heard it.
Fash tag got some ash tech over here but Fash tech I had never
considered that.
Now we got Fash tech and then we had but she has another one she
dropped Drake dropped up. Let's play this this is the where a
piste
Genie my is not just a fashion expert. She could wear a piste
kill me Just kill me now it's over. It's over. Civilization is
crumbling. Yeah.
That's a real word. I need it. At least it is now. We the years
of experience in the fashion industry. You may recognize her
from segments on NBC The Today Show Wendy Williams E News. Or
as a co host of foxes. The real genies also known for her
advocacy of female empowerment and has been outspoken in her
goal to inspire and educate women which I love. Basically,
she's super wary. Just get it like super woman but she's aware
of his so she's like
Oh, wow.
Actually wasn't I wasn't fast enough on the draw but
super awareness Wonderwoman
super were a pissed Yeah, were pissed. Alright, so they bring
the genie on. And this is this clip that we played first we're
gonna play it again. And it's genie who screams at this high
pitch which is like, it broke a glass in the house.
You are on the real How do you go in?
The real is so much fun. We just got news that we got picked up
for our seconds. I know.
Everyone needs to watch the real
I'm so excited.
Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that is actually I will say in the world
of technology. I think women are really advancing. Want a good
job? You should that they should interview Sheryl Sandberg. She'd
be perfect for this show.
She has been on the show. Of course it didn't
say anything for instance. Boy, you have just turned back women
100 years with your idiotic stupid screaming and your Valley
girls bullcrap.
Anyway, I forgot where I was leading with this. I liked it
that screaming just short you out
when we were talking about native advertising that's that's
the native advertising
thing is you got this is a version of it. They just bought
this time and then they put these people on it's all an ad.
And then nice little well and yeah, exactly.
Exactly how I think of it later. Whatever it was. We started
well, maybe I can jar your your memory a bit. No, just put you
in a different space altogether. Watermelon head, John F. Kerry,
the man who will save the Earth from global warming. Now
typically, I'm not really allowed to play any John F Kerry
clips because they're boring and just tedious. But once in a
while, the has a gym and if I tighten up a couple of the
pauses which I always have to do with him, then I think a beauty
one of just a beauty comes out a total beauty. And whenever it's
about climate change, our friend John F Kerry writes his little
statements himself. And I think that he's, of course, he's all
in and he must have the vested interest.
Because he's really I still imagine that he imagines himself
as the president.
He actually thinks he's President right now. Yeah. He
probably feels the President is so no good that, oh, I'll just
do this. He doesn't know how to do a speech on climate change.
In two minutes. I can nail this and make everybody understand
it. It's very simple. It's just science. I know how to make
these comparisons. Everybody else is dumb.
But if you listen to some people in Washington or elsewhere, you
think there's like the President's question about
whether climate change really is a problem, or whether we really
need to respond to always get a little laugh. So voice stop for
a minute and just think about the basics.
Because believe these morons, let's think about the basics.
When an apple falls from a tree, it will drop toward the ground.
Oh, we know that because of the basic laws of physics. Science
tells us that gravity exists, okay? And no one disputes that.
Science also tells us that when the water temperature drops
below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, it turns to ice. No one disputes
that.
What do you think he's going to do? John? What could he possibly
Yeah.
So in science tells us that our climate is changing, and human
beings are largely causing that change. By what right? Do people
stand up and just say, well, I dispute that. Sciences, or I
deny that elementary truth.
They deny that elementary truth I tell you, I deny elementary
true, yes, it isn't. Climate change is an elementary truth.
Not just the truth, but Elementary, uter model. It is
elementary truth about kids, when your parents accuse you of
stealing that cookie, you say I did not eat that cookie that is
the elementary truth, mom.
And yet there are those who do so crazy. Literally a couple of
days ago, I read about some state officials who are actually
trying to ban the use of the term climate change in public
documents, because they're not willing to face the facts.
Florida, future generations will judge our effort not just as a
policy failure, but as a collective moral failure of
historic consequence, a collected and moral failure of
questioning anything, and they will want to know how world
leaders could possibly have been so blind, or so ignorant, or so
ideological, or so dysfunctional, and frankly, so
stubborn, that we failed to act on knowledge that was confirmed,
confirmed by so many scientists, so many signs, so many studies
so many over such a long period of such a long period of time
documented by so much evidence so much evidence last year was
the warmest of all and I think,
no lies lies. It was not the warmest of all 1978 Was it
9795 797 lies so
much evidence. Last year was the warmest
of all it says it like like Santa Claus like Santa Claus was
the warmest lie
lies and I think if you stop and think about it, it seems that
almost every next year becomes one of the hottest on record.
No that's not true. 97 more lies
and with added heat comes an altered environment Yes, not
particularly complicated. I don't mean to sound
patronizing douche baggy a holy you know
hottie but think for a minute
hottie fly, but think about it for a minute. Yo, you identified
all his traits.
I took it Yeah, I wonder you are hottie that's exactly how you
sound my friend. The exact by the way, the Climategate emails
have been published in a handy little PDF. It was in the show
notes under agenda 21 If you want to download that and have a
good laugh, it's nice just nice to read. You know,
it's nice to see the bullshit and behind the scenes.
Can be nice can be nice. If nobody
can come out right what are we going to do? Change it use a
different number just change it doesn't take much to get a
pencil
do just change it. I got a lot of feedback on our conversation
about common core from Thursday. Did you get a lot of feedback?
Little did I get that I still am distressed by that guy that and
Twitter that tweeted two of us saying that there was the last
show which I thought was just a one of our it was a good show is
what I thought was one of our better shows. It wasn't one of
the greatest shows we've ever done. If someone comes to
someone complaining. Yeah, he says, You said something to him.
He said Man Overboard is the guest. This show was OTT and it
was all true. I knew is true and real. And I can't take it
anymore. I'm quitting listening
now. Oh man overboard. Yeah. And
you said man Over,
we burn them out, man.
But how it was a very light hearted show. I mean, it may I
think was the hour and a half dog is the shaggy dog.
It's all my fault of course. Well, what's interesting and
even the shaggy dog story was not over the top. I was just you
were pounding a nail and you were making sure it was deeply.
It was in there. You weren't using a nail gun. Let's put it
that way. I like to pound it hard. So you're pounded and
pounded and pounded it as you are want to do and I guess,
upset this guy.
Yeah. Well, I'm sorry. That
couldn't have been the common core thing isn't a student?
Well, I've. So here's the most I was
very upset. I was upset by people that go overboard.
Well, you know what, it's, it's up to us to toss a life raft.
That's the life ring. That's why I said man overboard, and he
didn't come back and don't know what to do. He's not yelling
help. You know, if you're not if you're in the water you
overboard, not yelling for help. I can't do much.
Yeah, you can come out. He's swimming away from the boat.
He's
a drift. Producer, Ben P sent a response in. And he said he just
started, I guess you say just start listen to the show and
heard something on Thursday about common core that might
shed more light on things. I work at a reseller as a sales
and implementation engineer for networking and wireless and has
spent most of my past several months trying to sell networks
to schools. Because these P ARCC. Tests that's the common
core are requiring schools to massive massively upgrade the
wireless and other infrastructure. And we were
always looking for the hook on these things. Obviously. To that
this year, the FCC, us a sea change the rate program, not
sure what that is that schools were previously using to help
pay for internet and phone service and poor schools use for
networks. At the start of the year, they committed $1 billion
per year for the next five years to help schools upgrade. That's
5 billion bucks that I'm not hearing anyone talk about. Each
school essentially gets $150 per student times the number of
students times the discount rate, which is based why
they hate home schoolers. Yeah, because you're not forced into
buying
stuff. Because of the response. The FCC said this wasn't enough.
So they're allocating an additional $1.7 billion this
year. And probably next year, all this money comes from the US
F the Universal Service Fund charge, which I think is what
you pay on your cell phone bill. Based on the general market
share 60 to 65% of the 2.7 billion this year will go to
Cisco. There you go. Google is also making up because lots of
schools are buying Chromebooks for all the kids to use to take
the tests on because all students have to test with a
certain timeframe that basically mandates that a testing device
per student, Chromebooks are winning by a large margin,
market market share by a large margin because of the price
point and ease of use versus say windows or Apple, which also
means that all these students have Google accounts to get
hooked on the ecosystem. And Google gets all the data for
them. And I want to play your fifth clip from that Common Core
conversation. The little girl is so fantastic that the marketing
girl wonder
students will spend up to 11 hours taking the test over nine
days, most will take them on computers, and everyone's
expecting glitches.
They don't know what the computer thinks gonna be like a
lot of them. There's like all these different problems like
dragging and dropping. And a lot of students don't know how to do
this kind of stuff on the computer.
I think the only people who benefit from this would be those
who are selling the tests.
So nurse Tracy sent me a note after hearing the show, and she
said, Oh, wow, because he looked at those third grade tests you
were talking about, which of course are impossible for any
human being to understand unless you are being specifically
segregated from the herd. And that's what I'm hearing people
say now, these tests are so ridiculous, that the kids who do
well on them, they're the winners. And this happens in the
medical in the medical field all the time. Specifically designed
tests under common standards that are intended to separate
the what is it the wheat from the
chaff wheat from the chef, the chef
and I'm thinking there's something to it besides besides
the money? I think it's chaff isn't chaff,
chaff, whatever. Yeah, where it says that continue right.
You think right, well, so
two things besides the money Bonanza, it seems that these
tests are and it would make sense for guys like Bill Gates
and all these elites who are funding this Hey, now Soros, we
have to do to find the good kids and get dumped the rest
of the rest are losers. They are of no use to the new system of
the grant to game we got too many people. We have we have to
listen to the Georgia Guidestones and go back to 500
million.
Then I have my charter school clips If you want fits right in
play chart now this is on Democracy Now. And they have
Juan Gonzalez, who was just kind of a stooge. But he wrote an
interesting article in the post, I think, or the Daily News, one
of the two, because it although he didn't, he doesn't ever give
us the insight that we're really, really looking for.
There was a meeting of the well, I will make some comments after
you play the first part
of this clip and interesting symposium that was held at the
Harvard Club yesterday, an all day symposium, titled bonds and
blackboards investing in charter schools, and it was a meeting
basically, of hedge fund type sponsored by the Gates
Foundation. And by the Walton foundation of the Walmart family
basically,
notice, she doesn't say, Oh, you mean the computer guy about Bill
Gates. It's just accepted that he's a genius, because he made
money,
enticing more investors, to begin to see how they can make
money off of charter schools. And all they suppose it was a
small protest of parents outside. But it really has
marked the enormous change that's occurred in New York
politics, and I think around the country, as a new report showed
that hedge fund executives over the last decade have poured
nearly $40 million into political contributions just in
New York State. The prime beneficiary over the last few
years has been Governor Cuomo, who has received almost $5
million. We're talking about Carl Icahn, you know, the famous
corporate raider, we're talking about Paul Singer, the vulture
funds. Hedge Fund guy, we're talking about Julian Robertson
of the Tiger of Tiger management, some of the richest
people in New York City. And they're also most of them. Also
major backers of charter school.
How do they make money from charter schools?
Well, that's I think a lot of it now is going to be coming in
with the Facilities Financing that's going to occur, Governor
Cuomo pressed the legislature to offer incentives in New York
State to begin providing what will be the equivalent of about
$2,600 per child to build new facilities for charter schools,
forcing Mayor de Blasio in New York City to share some of these
costs. So there's going to be a new revenue stream, in addition
to direct funding from the state for for per pupil education,
there's now going to be a charter facilities fund that's
been set up, man, what
a bonanza. Well, he
hears the pot. Yeah, it sounds like about the original question
to him was, how do you make money? He never really answered
that. Because he never went to the meeting. I mean, he knew
about I'm thinking seriously if I'm in this spot, and there's a
meeting like this at the Harvard Club. And if there's any way in
the world I can, and I can get into most things. Have a good
firm dressed right? Of course, yeah. You're not wearing a
speedo, just by normal attire. I wouldn't go and get in anything.
The crocs, I speedos Speedos.
So I go in and listen and listen carefully, because they will
probably are showing a model of a financing and how you can get
in here's why.
It's obvious these things make money. Yeah. So there's a
money making aspect of it. Now if you listen to part two, it
gets worse because and this is the problem with democracy. Now
they their analysis is really piss poor. For one thing. He's
almost making the comment that all this money so Republicans
can steal all his money and and they're trying to get
Republicans in because there'll be more charter schools, even
though the target is Cuomo a Democrat, the people that are
funding this, the Gates Foundation, Democrats, it's all
Democrat, Democrat, Democrat, up and down the line, but somehow
these evil Republicans, which is again, a thing that bothers me
to know, and that these people can lie is
a lie,
lie.
Here's where he Yeah, here's where it falls, you can listen
to him try to explain something and it just is a mess. It's just
a mess. There's no analysis and no concise Look at this. And
it's just too
bad. And of course, the governor wants to lift the cap on charter
schools, so allow many more charter schools to be started.
So this, the amount of money is not just in the direct
contributions. It's also in money being given to new groups.
The dark money that we've seen, United case where a folk
Robertson and Dan Loeb contributed as much as a million
dollars a piece last year to a new group of funding ads
promoting Republicans for Senate seats, who are in New York
State, which would assure again, support for charter schools. So
it's an enormous amount of money that's being poured into this.
These political campaigns specifically by Hedge Fund folks
who are very close to charter schools in fact one charter
network alone the Success Academy which I've reported on
repeatedly 890 members of the board of directors or their
family members gave $600,000 to Governor Cuomo has campaigns in
the in the last for his last two election Can I
ask if there's real money then there's real money we should
start the no agenda charter school for critical thinking.
Critical thinking that is that's the whole thing critical
thinking, you know, when the government says we're going to
teach your kid critical thinking you're probably going to wind up
with a moron
you can't trust those guys.
It forces the computers on everyone so this this whole
thing is about computers selling more and newer computer selling
surfaces. You know, this is not rocket science to see what's
going on friend
of mine over here in the lowlands heard the show and he's
he's been investigating similar setup to Common Core here when
the same guy appear since the same people are all involved.
And it's everywhere. It makes so much sense what you do. You get
you get you figure out who's smart. And you do that by
tracking them on the on the Chromebooks and the Google
stuff. And then they have an identity in your world. And you
can start exploiting that and seeing if they're any good.
These are no good. Oh, just set them on that path.
And catch them early. Yeah, good.
Catch the good ones.
We had intervention we see this kids a big dummy. This guy is so
stupid. He can't even use a computer. He's just the dummy.
They don't know how to drag and drop. Yeah, I mean, we
standardized the test so everybody can do them. So as you
know, it's not that we're it's just not an excuse, by the way
for segregation to we're sorry.
We're sorry, Mrs. Johnson. Little Timmy is just not really
keeping up with the group.
And he's an idiot. He's gonna go on the idiot track at his
school. They just get straight track to prison. Yeah,
well, well, we're that's that's the hedge that Bill Gates made.
But I'm gonna work
with they only get paid 10 cents an hour. That's the hedge.
That's
John. That's why the Gates Foundation invests in
correctional Corporation of America. That's a hedge for the
kids that are no good.
Yeah. Yeah, hedge funds.
So we were all in on Common Core universities and selling
notebooks and tablets and everything and software, and
cloud.
And then in print, I think they give maybe the guy was the guy
on Twitter may have been depressed by the notion, I think
that we put more now you're talking Yeah, that you have this
common core thing creating a classes of people that are for
the society of the future, which will have very little workers
because everything's gonna be done by robots and the service
sector and
all the rest of it as self driving cars.
Let's face reality about driverless cars. This means
truck drivers out there, all these truck drivers are
listening to this show in the long haul, you better start
learning how to knit unionizing in such a way that you can shut
this down. Because you're
out there, we can't have that.
There's gonna be automated trucks it'd be you know,
that'll have that'll happen before any any other passenger
cars that would make the most sense, automated trucks.
Well, is that the way they're gonna play? This is gonna be
interesting because the passenger car. Yeah, the
automated trucks may be first because the passenger cars are
gonna have the bigger impact on society. Of course, there's
gonna screw everything up. But once those things get
once you no one will object to putting in, you know, the
infrastructure on the roads for the trucks.
And what we're gonna have who first there has to be a
publicity campaign, so we're gonna have a lot of truck
accidents.
Oh, yes. And hookers, killing hookers.
Killing for the way you run them over? Yeah, no,
no, no, no truck drivers, having sex with a hooker and then
killing him. You put it in the book. That could be
I'll put it in the book, whatever the case is, truck
drivers are going to be marginalized are going to be I
think I'm going to write an op ed, you should
do this because I think you're Yeah, I think yeah, we posted on
trucker blog blogs
day there's a couple of publications for truckers, but
this is going to be it's going to be a long campaign and all
these trucks are so dangerous. Yeah. And they're gonna have
they're too dangerous to be on the road. They're going to show
pictures of like they all they do is go down here to the
freeway I can see which is a highway 80
We can almost predict trucks for every car we can almost predict
the disaster that's gonna be the tipping point. And he's gonna
Oh mom and her family of young ones was crushed like careless
Mexican trucker
who just hours before had killed a hooker
that's truck drivers are out of control. They must be stopped
by though I want I bought all of them because we have a lot of
truck drivers listening. We're on your side. I Emily's I know
of John's all for this. I am a
truck drivers are great. And they they're they're the salt of
the earth. Yeah, and their hams rude and they better realize it
fast.
They're not the salt of the earth. They're the backbone of
the country.
They are actually yeah, it wasn't for the
Truck if it wasn't for trucks, we'd be very hungry in Austin.
ng Yeah.
No truck drivers, no salesman, no nothing
as right. And sysadmins does it truck drivers salesman and
assists admins? Not necessarily in that order. Right.
Those are the three the big three. Anyway, so this is
coming. And we but so we brought up the whole thing and then did
the prisons. You know, let's put everyone in prisons and make
them do jobs for 10 cents an hour, because they're criminals.
They can't be paid a minimum wage. Let's do that and creating
a federal sort
of jihadi truck drivers. Would that help?
No, it'll help the movement away from
dead zones. That's what I'm saying from would that be
another prediction? Jihad is truck
drivers or robot trucks? No, it wouldn't help at all.
What do you mean? Yes, of course. jihadi truck
driver.
Yeah. Then that'll be an incentive to get rid of truck
drivers. Yes. What I said, Yes. That's what I said.
Oh, I thought you were trying to be back on the side of the
truck.
No, no, no, no, no, no, I'm just predicting what else could
happen. We had the dampers Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh,
yeah. Truck driver. This man was an actual truck driver in the
Union. He was a union truck driver Union. This this huge
truck full of explosives into the White House. Thank God, no
one was hurt.
I think that, yes, unionized truck driver. If he was, he was
a member of his local truck union. Yeah. Three hours
earlier. He had killed a hooker. A prostitute at a Denny's. Got
some native advertised. We could sell some native on the ship
maximize Good. Get Denny's in there.
Yeah, Danny's would be good. And then it would be a good spot. If
you had all the truckers used to go to these places. We've never
heard of that. Giant parking lots. Yeah. Well, they're great.
They need something.
Hey, well, first of all, amen. Amen. Fist bump on
no agenda disks and distribute them. Yes.
Yes. Yes. And amen. Amen. Fist bump on that. I think we're onto
something.
Okay, so well, that was anyway, so this guy, I believe, was
depressed from hearing these kinds of seeing that because
what we've done is we revealed the obvious Yeah,
just by reading, actually. Yeah. Common
unknown, isn't it? No critical thinking even needed? Is
there?
It's pretty it's pretty Yeah, it is. You just have to pay
attention
and just have a look at all that stuff. Where two plus three.
I want to focus on Euro land for a minute, if you don't mind.
Yanis Varoufakis, the Greek Finance Minister. Start Well,
yes, he has he he made a big boo boo. But this shows this. Yeah,
this shows you what he's really all about. This guy. He's just
another one of those egomaniacs. We
are in the process of legislating for tax raise, we
will legislate on minimum wages in good time after deliberation
with the social partners, which is what we always promised to
do. The press has a field day these days and concocting
stories that have the purpose of creating noise. What we need now
is peace and quiet in order to get down to work to put grease
back on on the path of recovery.
But you're at fault for that was Paris Match a PR disaster in
hindsight,
you will allow me not to comment on particular stories in the
press
that you put it in the press.
You will allow me not to comment on particular stories in the
press
though for this government because you are trying to
promote a serious abuses
explain what was happening here. He and his family did a whole
pictorial with Paris Match. Which is a kind of like society.
And there he is in his office. Like okay,
and people.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's fair. There he is. He's lifting up his
wife. They're drinking some wine together.
It all posed. Yeah.
It was him at home holding his book was his damn book. He's
hot. He's like he's reading his own book. dickheads rational
conference good.
Joy, my writing
rational conflict, which is his word that actually makes a lot
of sense that I probably have to read this book rational
conflict. So his idea I will read from his little blurb here.
Rational COVID was my first single authored book its origins
line, my PhD thesis, even though it shares Not a single word with
that document. The thesis was a typically dry micro economic
investigation of various parametric optimization models
of industrial strike activity.
Yeah, sounds like bull crap.
Yeah, well, but he's following his his own. The I think he
believes that he's some kind of Guru and he has figured out this
fantastic and way of changing the world through rational
conflict where adults disagree and don't shoot each other or or
cause distress with economic sanctions. So I thought that was
kind of interesting is just like all these other douchebags was a
little pictorial. And then something that when we played
the clip, I heard it in the back of my mind it was tickling
something I couldn't quite figure it out. This was a couple
of people mentioned this to us. So I wanted to just bring this
up again, when Nigel Farage was complaining about the Juncker
the drunker wanting a European army and he first he referenced
the EU forces who were goose stepping as he called it,
raising the the EU flag. And then he said this The
opportunity is being seized. And Mr. Juncker said we must convey
to Russia that we are serious. Who do you think you are
kidding? Mr. Juncker? We do not want.
Obviously there's laughter from the UK. And I knew there was
something there. They got the joke. They got the joke. And I
grew up watching this in the Netherlands. It was actually on
TV. I'll just play a little bit. This is dads aren't.
You are kidding, Mr. Ware.
And so there you go. Comparing Junker, the drunker to Hitler.
Yeah, yeah, cool.
Doing it without actually using the Hitler word, which is a
violation violation of modern rules
of Internet rules. I thought that was pretty good.
Yeah, no, I was a good catch, too. By the by the audience.
Yeah.
Number of people. Of course, the Brits all caught it. So that's
very good.
All right. What else? Anything from Europe? Because otherwise,
yeah.
Well, the big thing here and I think it's so obvious is Jeremy
Clarkson being suspended from Top Gear, by the BBC. And of
course, there's a lot of coverage of this here.
story keeps changing now it's apparently punched out his
producer for not getting a mistake.
Yeah, well, this is fake. And I'm sure it and the reason why
is it's all PR and why is it PR because this is the first year
that Top Gear premiered simultaneously in 50 countries
that just huge sale and I think they added 20 or 22 new
countries. And I have a feeling that I'd never heard of this. I
didn't know that this is taking place. I didn't know that this
was their big push. I have a feeling it's just a little PR
and it's working quite well because it's like wildfire
around the world. And now they've they've all we're
pulling these episodes of course, it creates demand and I
predict the Clarks will be reinstated. And now, but it
really is just a PR job for all these new markets. Whoa, that's
it. Oh, this news. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's that's airing on TV.
Thursday night.
Would you listen to all the hubbub about the hubbub about
this guy must be really
analysis. Check it out. This guy must be something Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, he
punches out his producer. Yeah. Which me? Oh my god. Of course.
There is no producer. No one has heard of the producer. Where's
this guy or her? Are
they I've actually seen two pictures of them both of a
different person. Exactly. There's my point. And there was
one picture of him as an older guy. And one picture was a young
man. And it's like, wait a minute, which one of these two
guys is this? Whatever the case? Yeah. All right. I got the guest
the movie. Oh,
hold on a second. It's been a while since we've done that. We
go let me put it up. And now
it's time for another episode of guests that movie. Okay,
you can guess both the movie and you can get the actor if you
want to. But this is a clip is called bad acting.
Why can't you just love her? She's so easy to love.
You know nothing about my daughter. You hear me? Nothing.
I know that she is good and strong. And deserves all the
love this world has to give. Can't you see that? How
wonderful how special she is.
Is this a Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure with Keanu
Reeves
you know when he said that how special this is. He said this is
the instance salary of a crappy actor. Obama says special the
same way that he
voted that MRI. Yes, Keanu
Reeves. I nailed it. In walk in the clouds is the movie
I had I thought was Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
I'd never even heard this movie walk in the clouds. Yeah,
welcome the clouds. Oh,
well, that's nice. Another episode ladies and gentlemen of
guests. The movie. Well, while you were clipping movies, I read
all 400 pages of the FCC rule.
That was 330 pages. The whole
the whole document they released was 400 pages. The whole Doc,
I kept hearing 333. Well,
let me open it we go on. Well, I wanted to share just
Yes, I wanted we all everybody, myself included, once to hear is
concise analysis of what you've read?
Well, it's pretty obvious. We all we know what it is, we know
that this is about it truly is when you read when you dig into
the the bright line rules, which means they are explained in this
document. And some of them are still open to interpretation.
That really sets up just all not just censorship because of the
lawful content, lawful network traffic, lawful devices. There's
all this stuff. It was not lawful. And of course, there's
no definition of lawful in here, but there's no lawful unlawful
can be jaywalking. You know, that's, that's the kind of stuff
that you have to look at when you're dealing with the language
of the law. But I want to
check it hold on a second, Adam. I thought all bits were equal. I
thought packets were all equal what is lawful have to do with
it? Well, they're not equal because that gets in all bits
are equal. Yeah. What is lawful have to do lawful some outside?
I'll make it even I'll make it even nuttier the way these
packets arrive and how they're arranged and what they contain
just the the control portion of the packet can also be deemed
unlawful, then that. Yes, why yes. Just want to read a few
pieces that have highlighted you can find the document of course
in the show notes. 704 dot no agenda notes.com. This is from
the introduction, the lesson of this period. First of all, I
would like to mention Hold on, let me just the group, free
press, which is a lobbying group, who say they are
dedicated to net neutrality are mentioned 46 times in this
document.
There are somebody else pointed this out.
Now, it is important to understand that this group has
received over $2 million from the Open Society Foundation.
That's George Soros favorite of the conspiracy minded and almost
$4 million from the Ford Foundation. And the guy who's
really the center of this is this guy, Robert McChesney.
McChesney, a communications professor at University
Illinois, Champaign Urbana, Urbana, Illinois,
right. Communist.
He is a communist that Thank you. A couple of couple of notes
here. So here's something that he said about news and
subsidies. The news is not a commercial product is a public
good, necessary for a self governing society. Once we
accept this, then we can talk about the kind of media policies
and subsidies we want to hear advocates having news paid for
by the Government. Yeah, what could possibly go wrong? The
unthinkable has become thinkable in the free market internet, one
of the freedoms great tribes is set to be reduced to a public
utility subject to pervasive economic regulation and in turn
to content control. This, of course, is people who do not
agree with the free pre presses message throughout this
documentation. This is these rules. Here's another McChesney
quote, advertising is the voice of capital all bad, bad, it's
bad. We need to do whatever we can to limit capitalist
propaganda regulated, minimize it, and perhaps even eliminated.
The fight against hyper commercialism becomes especially
pronounced in the era of digital communications
Tumba somebody's telling you to buy a Ford Fiesta is not
propaganda.
Yeah. Well, that's just letting you know, who's all over this
document. Okay, the lesson of this period and the overwhelming
consensus on the record, this is the 4 million people that of
course, were click farms or whatever who signed who sent in
a comment. Of course, from all these these paid for policy find
it interesting that this 4 million 4 million formula we've
heard from 4 million we've heard from 4 million meme is so
overused,
because it's fake. It can't. 4 million people. It can you know,
one person who sent in a common one? No. And
I don't imagine anyone could read through 4 million comments
it would take forever. Yeah.
So it's obvious and that's that that is a number that free press
has been promoting anyway. The alone consensus on the record is
that carefully tailored rules to protect internet openness will
allow investment and innovation to continue to flourish.
Consistent with that experience and the record built in this
proceeding. Today we adopt carefully tailored rules, which
is regulation that will prevent spam cific practices we know are
harmful to internet openness, such as blocking, throttling and
paid prioritization, as well as a strong standard of conduct
designed to prevent the deployment of new practices that
would harm internet openness. So much for experimentation. Like
what? Well, we'll get to that we also enhance our transparency
rule to ensure that consumers are fully informed as to whether
the services they purchase are delivering what they expect.
Skip a bit here under this approach, consumers can continue
to enjoy Are you ready consumer? them you're not you're not a
human being or a citizen or someone who could actually be
publishing something pushing something upstream? No, no. In
the introduction alone, all the FCC considers you John C. Dvorak
to have the C stand for consumer John consumer divorce hack that
I find abhorrent? Yes. Under this approach, consumers can
continue to enjoy unfettered access to the internet over
their fixed and, oh, mobile broadband connections. This is
where the lawsuit start. innovators can continue to enjoy
the benefits of a platform that affords them unprecedented
access to hundreds of millions of consumers across the country
and around the world and network operators can continue to reap
the benefits of their investments. This is not what
the internet was intended for, for consumers of the fact that
your Government, America, of Gitmo nations, considers you to
be just a consumer and not a possible provider or someone
with ideas or a chips you want to share. Now, you consumer
morons. informed by the views of nearly 4 million commenters, our
staff led roundtables, numerous ex parte presentations, what
does that ex parte presentations
means I usually know what it means. But for
off site meetings or vacations. It's
something like looking at I'm looking at
I'll continue numerous ex parte presentations, meetings with
individual commissioners and staff and more. Our decision
today once and for all. But we're The Three Musketeers once
and for all puts into place strong sustainable rules
grounded in multiple sources of our legal authority to ensure
that Americans reap the economic, social and civic
benefits of an open internet today and into the future.
Ex parte the legal term meaning from by or for the party and ex
parte decision is one decided by a judge without requiring all
the parties to add to the controversy to be present. So
let me shield of meetings, a little meetings little meaning
that backroom meetings,
but without without anyone who's there to disagree. That
sounds right. All right. threat here.
So point A threats to internet openness remained today. The
record reflects and this is this is interesting. The record
reflects, John, that broadband providers hold all the tools
necessary to deceive consumers degrade content, or disfavor the
content. They don't like. What?
Over one overwhelming evidence. is there to say the record
reflects that? I mean, yeah, you could say the police can kill
all citizens.
That's a very strange, very strange, strange thing to say.
Isn't it though? Yeah. Because in fact, you have, you are the
one who has said most often. What what are we talking about?
What have what have they done? All these things that they could
do? Yeah, they couldn't do it. Even say this on its way. This
is one of your main twit arguments, which is, you know,
shallow, of course, for the audience. Sorry. Didn't do that.
I shouldn't do that can do that. Do you have any? Okay, I guess
no, change your mind? Or I just wonder if you were going to
reiterate your position?
No, I got nothing. I mean, I, here's my latest thing. I'm
thinking that if you are going to force this equal access equal
this you can't do this. You can't you know, the idea is, of
course, of course you can. It almost now forbids peering.
Well, I just read through this a couple more pieces, which also
includes the peering piece of that will be done and we can
discuss okay, we'll talk about strong rules that protect
consumers from past and future tactics that threatened the open
Internet number one clear bright line rules. Again, because the
record overwhelming supports adopting rules and demonstrates
that three specific practices invariably harm excuse me, the
open Internet bleh I'm sorry, it's late here. I haven't eaten
Properly blocking, throttling and paid prioritization. This
order bans each of them applying the same rules to both fixed and
mobile broadband Internet access this is a problem technically
speaking, so no blocking a consumers who subscribed to
retail broadband Internet access service must get what they have
paid for access to all lawful destinations on the internet.
This is new one lawful destinations on the internet.
That's that one that's a new one.
So that actually reverses it and says if you're requesting this
IP address to send packets to it, because let's face it,
that's what that's the level that we have to look at. That
can be Pirate Bay was an example. So you could be blocked
at by law that some level way outside of the ISP anyway, this
essential and all accepted principle has long been a tenant
of commission policy stretching back to its landmark decision in
Carter phone and that this is how they're comparing access to
model shit what they're gonna do. I know I know. You know what
it is a reboot Carter phone is Carter phone protected a
customer's right to connect the telephone to the monopoly
telephone network. So there's they're equating a destination
being unlawful with a device that was not sanctioned by the
telephone company. I don't see how you can equate those two.
No, it's just a confused the dummies who think this is great.
If they say to that a person engaged in the provision of
broadband Internet access insofar as such person is so
engaged shall not block lawful content, applications services,
or non harmful harmful devices subject to reasonable network
management, which of course lets the ISPs off the hook because
reasonable network management is an easy part and we'll get to
that with the peering. So applications can be deemed
unlawful services can be deemed unlawful or non harmful devices.
Okay, next, no throttling. The 2010 open ended rule against
blocking contains an ancillary prohibition against the
degradation of lawful content, applications, services and
devices on the ground that such degradation would be tantamount
to blocking. This order creates a separate rule to guard against
degradation targeted at specific uses of a customer's broadband
connection, then here we go. The same thing about a broadband
Internet access provider may shall not impair or degrade
lawful internet traffic on the basis of Internet content, then
we add content to the mix. So content, free speech itself can
be deemed unlawful. They do not know of any content, if I buy
presumed content to be understandable communication.
How that could ever be deemed illegal under or unlawful under
first amendment of free speech.
Dealing with the First Amendment here dealing with the internet
that's now regulated, there you go. I mean, for example, you can
find the network for $350,000 for showing a nipple for a
microsecond on a Super Bowl. That's free speech in any other
context. But it's but in an irregular moment, it's not free
speech against the law, because we've decided that nipples are
bad.
Yes, Bob, the ban on throttling is necessary to both fulfill the
reasonable expectations of a customer who signs up for
broadband service that promises access to all of the lawful
internet. Wow.
You're using the word lawful to often images. Obviously, this is
an end around this is a play and the
museum. DJ is here with that. With that said, yeah, that
customers just like when you turn on CBS Superbowl, the
should be able to the promise should be fulfilled the
reasonable expectations of a customer who signs up for
broadband service that promises access to all of the lawful
internet? Yeah, then we have paid no paid prioritization, a
person engaged in provision of broadband etc. So not engaged in
paid prioritization. paid prioritization refers to the
Listen up sis admins network admins, refers to the management
of a broadband providers network to directly or indirectly favor
some traffic over other traffic, including through use of
techniques such as traffic shaping, prioritization resource
reservation, or other forms of preferential traffic management,
either a in exchange for consideration monetary or
otherwise from a third party or be to benefit an affiliated
entity. So I think there's a lot of room in there
as well. There's a lot of room to screw Google and Netflix for
sure. And they're gonna get screwed because now here's what
I hear people. Oh, God, you want to go on my Google? I want my
Netflix I want my YouTube or my Facebook, on my Facebook page.
They, the way it goes. Now if if these rules are you have to ever
get out of court, which is I totally unlikely, but it's still
worth talking about is that now I go, I say, or I say to my, to
someone or my lawyer and I, that, you know, I've got a, I'm
Vimeo, and I've gotten lots of videos. But I, you know, I, my
videos are just, I don't get my videos across as quickly as
Google because Google has an appliance. Right? And the ISP
keys office sitting next to the CEO is sitting right there, this
is preferred treatment. This is
what if they took no, no, no monetary gain?
Ah, no, no, the word is consideration. And it's in
there.
Hold on, let me read it. I will read it exactly. A in exchange
for consideration, monetary or otherwise, from a third party or
be to benefit an affiliated entity.
I give you a huge server with 100,000 100 terabytes or more a
petabyte of hard disks and everything else. And I say here,
this is free, put it on the network, and you'll be able to
serve YouTube videos easier. But that is what's going on right
now. That's that, in fact violates that rule. That's a
consideration for the benefit of
how about if they just rent a rack and put their stuff in
there?
If they rent the rack, they're paying money.
Yeah. So you can't just be a customer. So you came to Google
can't be a customer of the ISPs? Because that's consideration.
Exactly. Wow.
And you can Netflix Wow. So what's your as hardcore man?
That's, that's the first thing I'm thinking of? Wow, I'd look
at that rule. And I would be, I'd be wish that my hands would
be Wow, boy, we're gonna be making some money now, because
that Netflix operation is gonna have to pull those servers,
they're everywhere.
Then there's this no unreasonable interference or
unreasonable disadvantage to consumers, or edge providers, is
what Leo will be talking about today, Edge providers. And the
the key insight of the virtuous cycles and broadband providers
have both the incentive and the ability to act as gatekeepers
standing between edge providers and consumers no evidence of the
really doing this, by the way, as gatekeeper services, they can
extract unfair tolls just enough with the analogies. Such conduct
would, as the Commission concluded in 2010, reduce the
rate of innovation at the edge and in turn the likely rate of
improvements to network infrastructure. Now, so about
this, they said that here's what's interesting, they they
cite Benjamin Franklin, Oh, please, gatekeeper power can be
exercised through a variety of technical and economic means.
And without a catch all standard. It would be that as
Benjamin Franklin said, a little neglect may breed Great.
Mischeif. Thus, the order adopts the following standard. So
they're quoting Benjamin Franklin to say these guys are
probably assholes. Because of the if you if you don't watch
him, then they're gonna go do great mischief is
very insulting. Yes.
Any person engaged in the provision of broadband Internet
access, but shall not.
Again, this goes back to the what's his name? Guy who that
was part of the free press operation that you were quoting
a minute ago. Dollars quotes, it goes back to the fact he's a
communist. Oh, yeah. That guy. And he and this is a very, I
would say, government centric government dominating hatred of
capitalistic system as it exists Tommy's man, with everything
that you know, everyone is you can't trust him. If he's the
CEO. He's obviously a criminal. He has criminal intent because
that's the way the system works. That's the way capitalism
criminals Yeah, bankers, ISPs, you got money. Criminal Chesney
McChesney, unless you're
Bill Gates or Warren Buffett, he's
okay because he gives money for vaccines.
And there you have a good night everybody. It was fun doing the
show. The okay we're almost done with this. It's good for you to
this is prep for you. So not unreasonably interfere with or
unreasonably disadvantage the end users ability to select
access and use broadband Internet access service or the
lawful Internet content application services or devices
of their choice or edge providers ability to make lawful
content, applications services or device available to end
users. Reasonable network management shall not be
considered a violation of this rule. So just a lot of lawful
content in there. Then they have the transparency which had I
marked it up, but I'm not going to read that you can read
through it yourself. There was something here. Yeah, scope of
the rules. The Open Internet rules above apply to both fixed
and mobile broadband Internet access services. Consistent to
the 2010 order. Today's order applies its rules to the
consumer facing service broadband networks that provide,
which is known as bias, broadband Internet access
service and never heard the acronym before. But listen to
what is considered broadband access network providers a very
specific, a mass market retail service by wire or radio that
provides the capability to transmit data and to receive
data from all other subs or substantially all internet
endpoints, including any capabilities that are incidental
to and enable the operation of the communication service, but
excluding dial up internet access service, this term also
encompasses any service that the Commission finds to be providing
a functional equivalent of the service described in the
previous sentence, or that is used to evade the protection
protection set forth in this part. Now, what I read in this
is something that I think is overlooked, that the FCC, by
definition, by their bright line rules are providing two
different types of service one for complete free speech of
applications, and just a bonanza, and one that is highly
regulated. If you want to listen to the no agenda show the way I
read this piece, in the future, you will be using a dial up
connection. That by definition, dial up does not adhere to all
these lawful content rules.
Well, I'm gonna have to read this through myself with you got
it marked up.
Yeah, here's the interconnection piece that will be done by us
involves the exchange of traffic between a broadband Internet
access provider and connecting networks the representation to
retail customers, that they will be able to reach all or
substantially all internet endpoints necessarily includes
the promise to make the interconnection arrangement
necessary to allow that access. While we have more than a
decade's worth of experience with last mile practices, we
lack a similar depth of background in the internet
traffic exchange context. Thus, we find that the best approach
is to watch learn and act as required but not intervene now,
especially not with prescriptive rules. This order for the first
time provides authority to consider claims involving
interconnection, a process that is sure to bring greater
understanding to the commission. So hello, CDN. Hello, everybody,
that regulation will be coming. They just have to watch and
learn. And then there's some stuff about unlimited data
plans, and you're not allowed to downgrade the speed that will
also be forbidden or anything
in there about caps.
Well, that's the one thing that's
okay. Recently significant concern has arrived with mobile
providers have attempted to justify certain practices as
reasonable network management practices, such as applying
speed restrictions to customers using unlimited data plans, in
ways that effectively forced them to switch to price plans
with less generous data allowances. That does deal
indirectly with caps.
It seems to me that the way I would do this, if I was one of
the ISPs is I would just say, Okay, we'll go along with all
this. And then now you got caps. Or you could also say, Well,
we're gonna do this the same way. But and this is what I
honestly believe will happen. We're going to meet or your
usage. Well, that's it has to it has to Yeah, meter usage is the
only way. It's the only way you can do this properly. Right.
Yeah, to do this, right. And so everyone will end up even though
that's not what the intention was, they'll end up somehow
paying more than ever before and be more restricted as this is
bad. So but again, I don't worry a bit about this. This is well,
because the we had the clip the woman from the mobile industry,
she says we already are regulated. There's a
congressional law that regulates us. We're regulated by Congress,
Congress regulates our business, if the FCC steps in and tries to
push us into the title to Ben, we are going to sue and Sue and
Sue and
sue them again, on them again. So specifically say and this is
what it will be about the definition of tailoring. So if
you take your suit to the tailor, he will adjust it for
size, but not necessarily, you know, for the third leg you just
grew. Talking about myself, obviously. So they say this is
titled to tailored for the 21st century. So this is going to be
the argument is going to be about the definition of
tailoring. As we saw earlier, it gets a little tough to compare
someone connecting their own phone to the network with you
can't connect to that destination with that IP dress
but okay, you can find that in the show notes.
Okay, now the follow up clip was another one last clip from the
valley girl. fits right in. You have a valley girl clip
crowdfunding time. Oh, this is this is
your genius job.
Now I really want to watch Cool Runnings feel the rhythm. Feel
the rhyme Get on up it's crowdfunding time.
That should be hold on a second. We need to do we need to do this
properly. This is great. We need to I need to put something in
front of it. Hold on a second. Let's do a whole sequence brand
new sequence ladies and gentlemen. Okay,
let's try this. See if this works
ISIS uses social media like a job there.
We are killing
them. Very good
at that. Good at that robot soul come to the caliphate.
Now I really want watch Cool Runnings, feel the rhythm. Feel
the rhyme. Get on up. It's crowdfunding time.
I'm going to show my son moved by donate to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
Crowdfunding time for us. Very good segue.
Yeah, so keep it well planned.
We do have a few people to thank for show 704 including Joe
Campania in Ontario, California. 12345 He needs a D douching.
Yeah. And we'll give you some karma at the end if
you've been D deuced.
Sir. Sir Blake the night of procrastination $101 and one
cents out of Los Angeles, California sir Blake. He says
what does he say? Thanks for keeping the watch over the
bullshit. And he went Oops, I'm sorry. Sir. Block him reading
Sir James Cates. Sir Blake says his night of progress well
overdue. I've been unemployed since October but I can still
put up $101 Or one cents for you guys because you need it. IG
some some job karma at the at the end for sure. Graham Scott

Ringo, Louisiana and Sir Mark Tanner in Whittier, California.
That's our group of people who helped us out above the $50
donation level for show 704 I want to remind people we do have
a show coming up with no gimmicks or anything. They did
keep our head above water on Thursday. So we're open for just
pure help.
And I do want to say five just for the value for value concept
of what we do. Do different people attach different types of
value to what they get from the show, and they can use it in
different ways. I think most people enjoy being able to
laugh. I think that's our pure genius. We're a comedy show in
disguise. Don't tell anybody at the Podcast Awards. And you
know, besides that, we help make you feel better because of
seeing things in a lighter way in a different way. And probably
one that is makes more sense to people who have their head on
straight. So why not? Who is this Barbara Bush, um, she has a
chat room name. I screws by the no agenda Facebook page. And I
was what caught my eye was this headline, no agenda will get you
laid. And I thought, Oh, maybe I should have a look at this.
Let's see what's going on. So here's the story. I think it's
Citizen X. Yeah, Citizen X. A chemist that works for that. So
this is one of her posts on Facebook, a chemist that worked
for the state test for radioactivity. I might have had
him at dosimeter by asking if you are one, of course. And I
could talk to him about Fukushima productively. And when
we started talking about the banks failing, I could whip out
Sarbanes Oxley and how that changed the banking game. I wish
I could recall all of the knowledge derived from no agenda
that kept our 104 minute conversation interesting, but it
just did I realize it now. Thank you no agenda. I landed a Sunday
brunch with a six foot four human way out of my education
league. And
that's fabulous.
Thank you. Great.
So did she get late I guess
but we'll get an update. I haven't checked the
check the Facebook page. Sorry. I was you know banner studying
maps and stuff. Okay, please help us out for our no gimmick
Thursday show coming up. We definitely need all the support
we can get evora.org/n A
and we say happy birthday to Danny spell celebrating 51 years
to date. John Key's says Happy Birthday to his nephew Connor
turning 15 today and Graham Scott says Happy Birthday to his
son yo Vaughn who turned three on February 14. And he's happy
to see him again. Happy birthday for all your buddies here the
staff and management and all the interns the best podcast in the
universe. Eric was saying something about the rings just
for those you who are waiting for them sometime mid March,
which would be around now. Oh, by the way, citizen X's date is
this morning.
Oh, it's kind of
a morning date.
Well, it's a brunch date.
Mimosa has
still waiting on the rings. Eric says harassing for tracking
disease got all kinds of problems
dealing with China's hard if
no kidding. All right,
then we have some title changes today. Baron Thomas Nussbaum as
we discussed earlier is now an IRL that we actually discuss him
being an IRL right
now No, we didn't. But he is busy sure is
why didn't you want all we talked about was the Fletcher
idea. He didn't
have a particular protector it or something. I'm just checking
myself might
be in his email. He may or you do this. Oh, well. Well, I'll
look it up.
Yeah, if you could just do that. Yeah, since you do that. A Kevin
Brosseau will become sir. Hold on. I'm going to put him over
for the knighting I need to say a sir Harvey Lee becomes a
Baronet. There we go. Then we have Kevin Brosseau become sir
KTown Lord are the late night lab and Brian guild Balt become
Sir Brian the miserable IT guy. So we'll take out some sore This
is also discussed in the Facebook group by the way, John,
there was a face well if we use real swords course Hello. Come
on Kevin Ross. Oh. Both of us sporting the best podcast
University out of $1,000 and more could not be more proud to
duck both of you into the roundtable of the Knights in the
Dames and I hereby pronounce the cave the SIR KTown Lord of the
lake. And Sir Brian, the miserable IT guy. For you.
Gentlemen, I have hookers and blow rent boys and Chardonnay,
socking sushi Root Beer pepperoni pizza, malted barley
and hops hoppers and Molly root beer and Legos, whiskey and
Westlife, Maker's Mark and mushrooms, bong hits and bourbon
or maybe just some good old fashioned stock button in Mead
and please do go to no agenda nation.com/rings So Erica, the
show can have everything else set up for you and they're
coming along with the certificates and sealing wax and
all the good stuff. You're gonna say
something No, like God knows no email from Nussbaum explaining
is waiting to be taken territory.
Okay. Let me see some counterfeit stuff here. I've got
sent me if you got nothing. Do I have one? What was this The
drawing
Okay, well I'm watching the Today Show and they got these
people on and there's you know the Lean In is a big deal
there's they're trying to make it you know apparently Sandberg
doesn't realize that like with most still plugging this book
Yes, most writers you get off the one book and you do another
one and you get your sales bumped up but you can't just
milking the same thing and so there's a bunch of Now there's
different movements you know, like a girl and all these other
things stem from this and then lean in you know, so I'm
listening to this little forum that they had on the Today Show
where the discussing or what women can do because we need
more women you know, the Germans made us 30% of the border and
instead of actually giving women the incentive to go out there
and apprentice themselves and work or could take even more
education. This is what what comes out of the little
discussion this is the self esteem this the clip is called
I've got still got esteem moves, right? Yeah, no, but I have to
read out, self esteem moves on to bluffing. Recently,
the very successful and very fearsome editor of Vogue Anna
Wintour revealed her secrets to success and among them she says
pretend to know what you're doing. Even if you don't play
the part if it weren't for Anna Wintour, maybe it can work for
you Essence magazine editor in chief Vanessa DeLuca and career
expert, Nicole Williams Join us now ladies Good morning. Good to
see you.
Morning.
Let me start with you. Because this seems like a dangerous
proposition to pretend you're smart or to pretend you're
something you're not when you walk into a room. I mean there's
nothing wrong with projecting confidence with projecting an
image that you know you feel presents shows your strength
shows your authority I mean lots of people do it even email
everybody can have an off day sometimes you still have to
project like as if everything is really just fine you know, so I
don't think that there's anything wrong with that.
Ma'am the gauges had critical What should I do? Pretend this
is like this was like this, but this one I think was on Good
Morning America. And then I'm listening because this is the
theme for the show because it was I think this is all done on
on Woman's Day.
Oh no, there's 23 hour special day
and I ended up with the neck that comes up as you listen to
talk about amazing women amazing women. And for some reason I got
this amazing women amazing clip which followed up everything and
to me it was just like oh, please Okay. Speaking of amazing
women
well, I'm going to be talking about some amazing shoes guys
when you look at this fairy tale footwear, right? That is on man
so we go on to some big discussion about making women
all bunch of bullshit artists bluffers because the way you get
by they go right to the most cliched thing about women shoes,
guys now these guys are shameless. Yeah. Oh, yes.
Morning shows shameless. Oh, yeah.
Okay. By some by the way by the you consumer they're female
consumers who buy shoes that's all they are on the internet I
forgot to do the jobs car man just any karma for the donations
oh yeah jobs karma for everybody jobs.
Jobs, jobs and jobs. Or jobs
Yeah, I don't want to you know, you don't mess with karma.
Don't mess with karma. Now here so I'm, I'm downstairs. This is
a phenomenon I have in my house. Oh, okay. Listen, people said
sim. This is sweet the neighbors phenomenon. And so I hear at the
end the volume we're going to hear this that is what I'm
hearing and play the mockingbird clip and this is what I'm
hearing in my in my downstairs
This is MK Ultra man.
No I so I am multi Mockingbird. So I have a mockingbird. I've
always had mockingbirds in the area and then this by the way
this is if you want to play a little more than I do. I don't
have to Yeah, like you recorded this yourself things about this
bird This bird has no talent. You should be ashamed of
himself. But that's beside it. He's got no rhythm he's got no
song. He's just you know doing his normal Mockingbird thing. He
stinks I've had plenty of mocking birds that can do a
variety of noises that it just astonishing. This now this guy
does have a car horn I'll play you can play that car alarm.
Why the bird This bird has a car alarm.
They all do oh
I was not aware. Yeah. And that was this.
This is a recording play in the background as I explain what
this is. This is
a recording that you put on your trading website right?
No this is no that's the birds of that's a Holland thing. This
is no this I am going to post this but I haven't yet and What
it is, is that that this mocking bird, or any Mocking Bird, but
this particular one, and he likes to get on top of the
chimney, and he uses the chimney itself as a resonance vehicle to
make his voice heard.
Have you considered shooting him with a BB gun?
No, I'm not shooting No, you can't shoot mocking birds. They
had a nice little thing to play in the background as I'm playing
it in the background. So he's got he gets on top of the
chimney and he starts getting his way up there. So he's making
a bunch of racket and he goes straight down the chimney into
the house. No. Yes. At this volume and you got off the
mockingbird. And jotted down Did you light a fire? No, no, no,
but I did take the recorder I took the h2 and I stuck it in
the in the fire but chat room says
standing wave Mockingbird.
Mockingbird so it makes it so when you're in the house it
sounds like the mockingbird is in the house. Got it. So it's
actually quite amusing to me. Oh, that's my Mockingbird. This
guy's got no talent. He doesn't have any really resent no
rhythm. He's a really piss poor Mockingbird. I hate we used to
have one down when I lived in a different house that sat that
could do probably 1000 different sounds including a Rain Bird.
And he sounded just like a Rain Bird which is the sprinkler that
goes
shot. The show was going to the birds. Yeah. Okay. Then if you
should do a nice compilation of different side like when you
have the car sounds and you go to the to the lawn watering
sound, you should do a compilation, we can play some
different sounds, not just this whole long thing of him being
having no rhythm, no talent. Yeah, that's what I want you to
play the whole thing I didn't. For obvious reasons. Although
you
could play in the background, who cares? I will
play us out with time. Charlie Rose has Kevin Spacey on the
show. And when I heard this little exchange, I realized that
I have made an error in judgment, and will now have to I
cannot wait to get back home. I need to rewatch the episodes
have already watched, and then closely evaluate all new
episodes until I've finished the whole thing of House of Cards,
season three, which I did not like. But I now understand the
reason why it sucks. Because this has Hillary Clinton's model
of the world embedded into it. And I think that's not so crazy
to think when you listen to this exchange. Okay, let's just talk
about your bromance with Bill Clinton. Your bromance, by the
way, John, just so he knows his bro.
I heard that. Yes, bromance, we talked about that?
Well, we've known each other a long time. We've had a lot of
different experiences over the years both in his first and
second term. I did a great number of things. For him either
at the White House credit party, I hosted a lot of events did a
lot of things privately.
I know the private things, a lot of things on the campaign
and I suppose that perhaps I never waited to see which way
the wind was gonna blow with respect to him. I was always
there. And I was a true friend. And never doubted him never
stopped believing in him thought he's an extraordinary took him
as he was took him as he was. And and I think that may be part
of the reason why we became close. And are you close to her
as well. I'm not as close to her I just don't I just haven't
spent as much time with her as I have with him. But whenever
we're together, I always have a very nice time with both of
them. I recently hosted in the evening at the Clinton
presidential library library for their 10th anniversary of that
library but also of the start of the Clinton Foundation. And
there was a someone took a photograph of the three of us on
stage and I like I tweeted this thing they said to three kinds
of presidents former potential and streaming
do declare Mr. Devore I could seems that we have a shill and
monster in our midst us amongst us. Well, we have Kevin Kevin
Spacey. Forgetting the formula.
When I have his tailgate coincides with the George
Stephanopoulos who call it who quit and call out Clinton Bill
Clinton who he worked for as a sociopath of the worst kind, but
Well, he's he's not invited to the house anymore. No, that's
for sure. All right, I think I have to go back and look at it
now and see what what messages are being that's why it has to
suck because now they're trying to pair. I mean, yeah, they're
using it for propping up everyone says got lots of
propagandistic messages. Well,
let's listen to it. Let's listen again to the Lear foundation as
we play it out their record on Hollywood.
So in the course of our work, this is it In the last two years
11 to 13 335 storylines that we worked on, have been aired.
We've worked with 35 networks in the past four years. 91
different television shows. And that
is what we're truly up against.
Yep, that's exactly what we're up against. And that's what
we're up against that Oh, no, I think, to the Batcave, John,
long as we get as long as we get support, we will, we will
maintain our position of being up against that. Yes.
And just so when they talk about Giga ohm on Twitter that you're
on Twitter today, right?
Yes, I am good today.
Vox media, you know, those arrogant guys. They have Yeah,
they have just you know, about how VC money goes, they have
taken over $100 million in seven rounds of venture capital money,
their most recent being December 1 2014 46 and a half million
dollars that comes up just ask him you know, if they have a
model that works, so just keep pouring money into it. I'm
curious to see what it's like a yacht. If it's if it flies,
floats or F's rented. And that's it from the Netherlands for this
week. Thursday, we'll be back. I am still here in this suit to
hang in Rotterdam with the lovely Christina curry, thank
you for your hospitality and your courage during the morning
everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I remain I'm John Cena or
and we will
talk to you again on Thursday right here on no agenda
he says uses social media like a job therapist and a troubled
soul come to the caliphate come to the caliphate. Because we and
our allies says 600 tons of weapons into that civil war. We
have
people mosques being vandalized kids being executed being
executed abuse we'll be back one day to fight our own weapons.
See, we're known
as normal teenagers a punish us for doing things that we take
for granted normal teenagers. We are killing them and we will
continue killing ISIS terrorists pose a threat to us we're very
good at that. Good as
we look around the world. We encountered upheaval, and
conflict and chaos.
So you go in and they're blasting you and you go in and
then you can put the fire out. Right on it. You have to know
which direction to blow.
Adios
