eat bugs.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, May 10 2015. Time for your gizmo nation media
assassination, Episode Seven to zero. This is no agenda.
Celebrating matrons and I'm broadcasting live from the
crackpot condo and FEMA Region six in the capital of drone star
statement. Morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley in the Tower of Terror, where I
won't botch the opening. Mother's Day, Buddy Johnson and
Bushkill
were so you were so low on that if I had to ride levels that
just get you out of the mist.
Here I am. In the morning finally out of the midst of the
mist and
terror with a Tower of Terror All right, kids.
They could walk around your house with a wide berth.
That's the crazy walk around trying not to fall down.
Like crazy guy there in the in the Tower of Terror. Don't look
don't look.
Yeah, well, let's say Happy Mother's Day right off the bat.
Happy Mother's Day to you, mother.
Happy Mother's Day, Mama. Neither of our mothers are with
us.
know this is true. Yeah. But in spirit, perhaps I get
melancholy. Melancholy on days like this.
That really do.
Do I mean, I would say no to that because of the the number
of listeners, producers and supporters who chimed in about
Mother's Day Zero.
I know. This is part of the melancholy you see. Just like
everyone who listened to this show hates their mom. Yeah. No
mom donations could zero. Well, I to be fair, your newsletter
was about eating bugs. It was a little,
but I did the one before that was about the mothers and hey,
you got nothing. So what
is this bug thing? This is this is I think I've heard this for a
while. A couple of years this has been bubbling under but now
it was, was it banky Moon who came out and said
they edited the more corrupted the two Kofi and now
Kofi anon. Oh, Mr. World, the food program.
Yeah, Guy guy eat bugs.
While I steal the food money
and he goes on. He says 3 million people eat bugs. Why
don't you? Why don't you Westerners?
Well, this is an appropriate question. I've eaten
grasshoppers. You do you
routinely egress out? No, of course not. But I have served
for dinner for friends.
I have I'm just saying I have I have you served him for dinner?
No, I have eaten them. They've been served to me.
I refuse to eat bugs. Screw it.
For this crappy just scratch off that survivor episode they
wanted you for. Okay, fine. You're off the list. Anyway, by
Presidential Proclamation. This is of course, Mother's day the
President has proclaimed it thus. But a little twist today.
Little twist.
Sometimes a little Chubby Checker,
you got a little a little twist. Each day Americans dedicated day
to honor the remarkable women who strive and sacrifice all
year to ensure ours is a nation where all things are possible.
Whether married or single, LGBT or straight, biological,
adoptive or foster mothers are the bedrocks of our lives and
the foundation of our society. Very nice. They are first
friends and teachers. That's interesting. You gotta hear the
president. You got a little melancholy on this whole thing.
No wonder why and so you're gonna know.
I sent me his mother's also gone, isn't she? Yes, of course.
Of course. Know about that course.
All right. Can rig the whole thing that way they're doing it
with the mom around. No.
So see what you've been doing.
eating bugs.
I went to I went to Swan Lake last night. Oh, to the ballet.
Yeah.
Have you ever seen it? Have you ever been to a cute Yeah, no,
but
you're cute too.
I got the tickets myself by I saw it announced the Austin
ballet and I said you know so let me get I've never seen Swan
Lake I might as well do it now is that
God Swan Lake is playing let me get some tickets immediately.
I knew you're gonna be a dick about it. Oh yeah. Have you seen
Swan Lake? Yeah,
apparently you thought it was no good.
I thought it was a little slow moving
I kind of what I liked the most it was over before you knew it.
This I liked the way they have it set up here in the long
center. So you can just like Broadway you can take your drink
in in a sippy cup. Which works great sippy cup and and then you
can prepay for the for the intermission. And then your
drink is sitting there waiting for you and and the animation is
like 3540 minutes intermission, then another 20 And they're 20.
Boom, we're done. It was it was nice. I liked it. I like
Tchaikovsky.
So I'm glad to hear that
already into the music has never seen that. Look, we thought it
was not newer yet on stage. Okay.
I can tell you that. Some was some fat guy.
Now come on. Did you see Nuria of Dan's versus anybody? Come
on? Yeah, well, that's true. For any of the guys. Yeah, it was
like,
Look, listen. Yeah, one of the best ballet companies in the
world here in San Francisco. You know, you do
I know. The all the thing I really thought was cool is I've
never seen it before. And people in 1877 We're watching this the
same performance on stage I think that is still watching.
It's kind of cool. Did you think that in 200 years people will be
listening to the no agenda show?
Let's hope not.
Hey, what's this thing USB stick? What the hell is that?
Has bass Would you look at these CDs? What is the problem with
doing topical material? What
are these shiny discs?
I've always found that to be disappointing. What? Topical
material it has no legs. I mean historical topical material. No
topical material like what we're doing. Were we are recording
recently who reads The London Times from 1840. Nobody
true. Been.
So you enjoy the show. Who would you take?
A nurse Tracy? Of course. She's my cultural attache. Hello.
Did she enjoy it? Yeah, that's Oh, yeah. Exactly.
Hey, I liked how much of
the tickets cost.
Oh, don't even get me started. They actually they had tickets.
To me, I'd let me guess what they would be if I'm thinking.
Let me try to think logically about this. You're in Austin,
Texas, NASA kind of one of these capital Tasos capital city. You
know, people were dressed. You got a lot of pretense here
long were dressed up. It's the long center which is our big you
wear a tux? No. There were people with bow ties and all
that stuff. A tuxes? It's your couple. Yeah, man. The women all
dressed up all
look great in a tux. I do live with a guy named giant tuck. I
do look good in a tuck. Armani. By the way, it was Hugo Boss
who? Yes.
All right. I wanted to do a mia culpa. Please hear me so it was
not our money who built it or made the suits or the SS Waffen
SS, or anybody else in your business? You go boss,
and they look cool. You got to be honest.
Yes, actual stuff still looks good.
Hey, Hugo, can I have one of those armbands? I'm really like
what he's doing with the armband.
Aaron judge judgment. Man. All right. What do we have to talk
about? Well, there's
different things maybe you would like to start it off with? I
think you predicted correctly. The election in the UK. And they
as you predicted this, the whole media narrative being very close
to close to call, which is just to soak the parties and any
money they can just to suck it up and soak it in to take it.
But it didn't seem that close at all.
Well, let's start with a couple of clips that reaffirm this,
this problem that nobody in the media wants to identify for
obvious reasons because it would just be taking money out of
their own pocket that's there. So they're stunned by this sort
of thing. So let's play a couple of these clips indicating that
let's try. Cameron surprised when this is on Deutsche Ella.
All right now to the other story here in Europe dominating the
headlines that dramatic outcome of the British General Election
dramatic polls
predicted a dead heat between the Conservatives and the Labour
Party. Prime Minister David Cameron pulled off a stunning
and decisive victory. Cameron's Tories won a clear
mandate Yeah, though now form a majority Conservative government
leaving all the major contenders in political freefall.
Yay political freefall. Yeah.
In Federation.
And here's another one. Cameron wind is the PBS. You.
Joining me for more on the outcome is Robin Niblett. He's
the director of Chatham House and independent policy institute
in London
independent.
This is just number one to your playing things. Number one, let
me check. I'm sorry, my mistake. No. They're both named. No,
that's weird.
That's just one. I got it. I
got it. United Kingdom woke up on this day after national
elections to find the same political party in charge, but
with a message from voters that will take some sorting out. In
the end, it was a trouncing by the Tories as Prime Minister
David Cameron and his conservative party won an
outright majority in parliament, you'll return to number 10
Downing Street for another five year term. After a bruising
campaign,
we must ensure that we bring our country together,
scan that clip, skip it, go to the number two clip.
Joining me for more on the outcome is Robin Niblett. He's
the director of Chatham House and independent policy institute
in London. Robin Niblett welcome. So how do you read
these results?
Well, they're remarkable in the sense that no one predicted them
coming out quite the way they did. People thought the
Conservatives might be able to cobble together majority but was
not expected. I think it tells us that at some level, the
British people are still pretty cautious. Yeah, sure.
And we must do one more. Okay, keep pounding this home, which
is British arithmetic
guy. Yes, of course, party leader Ed Miliband has now
resigned.
Britain needs a Labour Party that can rebuild after this
defeat. So we can have a government that stands on for
working people again. And now it's time for someone else to
take forward the leadership of this party.
Two other leaders have also quit. First, Nick Clegg of the
Liberal Democrats, who was deputy prime minister in the
previous coalition government for the Liberal Democrats,
right. Nigel Farage of the Euroskeptic party, you Kip, it
attracted 13% of the vote, but only won one seat? A bitter pill
for Faraj. But that's British electoral arithmetic.
You know, there's a big thing going on. There's a bunch of
protests that weren't covered by now.
I you know, I'm going to disagree with you right there
because it was covered by the media. Well, I saw Bob Yes, by
the BBC. even
nicer. I then I stand or sit as it were corrected. But let's
talk about this PR thing, which is the proportional
representation, which is a big, they're fussing about?
Well, the losers are fussing about it for sure. Well, yeah,
but look at this.
I mean, here's I've got a list of these, here's the percentage
wins is that the Conservatives got 36% of the vote, Labour got
30% of the vote. And you know, it's reflective, the Liberal
Democrats got eight votes, the you Kip got one, the SNP, the
Scots, they got 56 members in and others were 23. And if you
look at the percentage to vote percentage is 36. For the
Conservatives 30 for the labor, the next group that comes after
that, is you Kip with 13%. Yeah, they got one person under them
is the Liberal Democrats who got eight people with 7.9% of the
vote, the Scots only had 4.7% of the vote, and they got 56 People
in as though there's some giant revolution taking place, which I
think is a mistake to think about. And then others,
including the Green Party had only 7% of the vote and they got
23 People not the Green Party didn't get 23 but other got 23
So you KIPP is the third most popular group now obviously in
the country. They got one joker
shirt. Well, we can have them been doing anything of any
substance
was the style the way the elections are, they have these
little groups, they have like a small continuum. But
is it really that different? Of course, it's different but in
fairness, we do it with the Electoral College
gerrymandering. Yeah, and bribery and hookers and
blackmail. That's how we we do a much different but it's more fun
for everybody to be honest.
You may lose but did you see that ogre?
The problem is is for me, is that Faraj thinks he's going to
quit now
he's not quitting. He's coming back in September. This is
already I've already seen this happening. Well, he's gonna He's
gonna run to he's gonna come right back September October,
Faraj will be back one,
he's the one who got them up to 13% Almost, I think single
almost single handedly at least. But whether they are ever gonna
get enough, you know, to do it the right way to get 13% of the
right groupings.
Is there an easy way to explain exactly how this happens with
with the UK system? So our producers at work or around the
watercooler can speak with it so
yeah, the easy way is that these it's, it's kind of the British
version of gerrymandering. You get these you can get like I
say, you got okay, they got 30% of the overall vote. But it was
like just under in a bunch of different areas where they were
trying to run people with very against very popular candidates.
It's just one it's just some, it's an arithmetic thing. It's
like you can't or what does it based on it's based on area and
everyone if you run it everywhere as a UK, you know,
different all kinds of you Kip candidates running they all
lose, but they all they get a close number of votes to the guy
who won. They
Okay, yeah, so they lose they lose that particular district or
area.
Yeah, but they got a lot of votes but didn't help. So what
do you got a lot of votes. I mean, Gary Johnson ran as an as
the libertarian and got a million votes. So what didn't
What does that accomplish? You got a million votes are you
actually on He's got 2 million votes. I voted for him, by the
way.
So there were some protests outside. Parliament, I believe
BBC did cover it. Despite that, it didn't take long people
tweeting me like, is it not being covered? Blackout media
blackout blackout? No, not were
there. That wasn't me. It wasn't
blackout, Blackout traffic
cones and smoke bombs were thrown at the police as they
confronted demonstrators in Whitehall. The police said four
of their officers and one civilian member of staff were
injured to required hospital treatment. It started as a
demonstration outside the gates of Downing Street against the
election of a new conservative government. And what the
protesters saw as five more years of austerity and welfare
cuts.
Exactly. Yeah, bend over here comes again, people.
Yeah, the big thing right now that problem I see in England is
going to be
Brexit, the Brexit.
Well, that is coming for that. That's not going to happen.
Let's face it, they're going to they're going to manipulate that
so that so they vote all we love the EU. There's no way they're
getting out. But the Conservatives now feel they have
a mandate, because they before they won the majority this time,
the last election, they didn't have the majority. So they had
to do a deal with the Liberal Democrats, which I think cost
the Liberal Democrats are all the seats, they lost like 50 of
them or something, because because the Liberal Democrats
and the conservatives shouldn't be in bed together. It just
doesn't make sense. Right? And they lose it looks like the
Liberal Democrats sold out. So now that the Conservatives don't
have to deal with these guys, these these these characters,
they can now run roughshod over the country. I think that's
what's going to happen.
Okay. Yeah, I found it. Of course, the minute we were done
with the show on Thursday, I was watching. I don't know, it just
it seemed it's a boring process. Lisa, we have hats, streamers,
and we got a little whistles and socks, hats and streamers they
needed to, you'd expect that they would know about hats and
have that going for them. But no, no, no, no, no.
Well, I think it might make it more entertaining. When they
have that parliamentary thing they do every week, I guess,
where they yell back and forth at each other.
Just in Parliament when they have regular session. You mean?
Yeah, this
session where they come up to the guy asked questions. And
they one guy what his name Ed Balls.
How unfortunate. They voted out. But
he was they always like he always got called on because the
the head of the, the, the whatever, it's the parliament,
they have the House House of Commons ahead of it, who runs
it? Loves to yell out Ed Balls.
Of course, to funny Ed Balls.
I have an update and one of our producers I'm gonna see who sent
me this think it was producer Alex, hey, he's our guy in
Panama. And he said you overlooked something on the
German wings. preliminary report. This is the the suicide
pilot. And of course, I was surprised that they did
ultimately find the the flight data recorder by the way they in
this report, they say they found the whole data recorder and had
to pry the memory module out of it. So that official report and
it was AP and I was sure to think that everyone's reporting
that the memory chips had popped out. They couldn't find it there
anyway. So now the and this thing they have a picture of it
you can't even see it's like a like a blue blob of coal or
something. And somehow they got the data off of it. But there's
one little thing that I missed on page 28 And I have it here in
front of me. So I'll read the this is a rundown of what they
recorded with the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data
recorder. interphone sounded cockpit four minutes 40 After
Captain left three other calls on the interphone sound of the
cockpit now the calls using the interphone elicited any answer.
And then this is 33 seconds before impact. Yeah, I can't
make this shit up. An input on the right side stick was
recorded for about 30 seconds but was not enough to disengage
the autopilot. So 33 seconds button which as we know is
usually a little bit of code.
Three seconds 33 seconds
Hello. The so this the right side sake that would be the
first officer side that copilot and he was apparently a chord if
you're gonna believe their whole their whole report. He was
trying to put some kind of input into the side stick but it
wasn't enough to disengage the autoplay eyelid, which I don't
know enough about that particular system. And yes,
autopilot doesn't disengage if you just kind of tap a little
bit or do something, or at least it shouldn't, for accidental tap
edge. But this would. This could mean a couple of things. One, he
had remorse at the last minute, but for some reason couldn't do
anything about it, too. He just keeled over something touched
the sidestick or he was really trying to so they give no data,
they don't tell us how much pressure was or input was
actually recorded. And, you know, there are numbers for
that. He was trying to disengage, but perhaps the
autopilot was uninterruptible. That would be my, my final
amount
to signal your theory. Yeah. Yeah. He's trying to trying to
correct that problem. Yep. Didn't have time to do anything.
I mean, it was
or it wouldn't have mattered how much input I'd love to we have a
lot of Airbus airmen. And if they know anything about this,
I'd love to hear from him. Because I know a lot about
aviation but I've never flown an Airbus nor would I damn plastic
airplane
flown a simulator Airbus. crashed it of course. Yeah.
It's very hard, very, very hard. So in elections here in the
United States is a new meme that is popping up and actually got a
story about it. Ignore Ed put out a report regarding this, but
I have clips from three different people involved in
elections, two who are running, and one who's a douchebag, who
is covering the elections. And the first one is presumably the
front running the GOP candidate Ted Cruz
that the day Iran acquired operational nuclear weapons,
those weapons might well be used. The threat is unacceptable
they could be used as some discussion has been had to
launch an EMP attack.
EMP attack. Then we just got news that NORAD is returning to
Cheyenne, they moved out of the of the Cheyenne Mountain near
Colorado Springs, and now they're moving back in though I
didn't know this. Yes. And they say, here it is the why because
the enormous bunker and the hollowed out mountain mountain
built to survive a Cold War era nuclear conflict can also resist
any electronically electromagnetic pulse attack, or
an EMP gear is
they would know this before they moved out. It wasn't just
discovered.
Maybe they are more worried about one. We heard three they
moved
out so something screwy can be put in there.
Yeah, viewers Michael Huckabee also a hopeful for the
Republican Party. We
face not only the threats from terrorism, but also the threat
of new kinds of dangers from a cyber war that could shut down
major financial markets to threats of an electromagnetic
pulse room and exploded device that can fry the entire
electrical grid and take this country back to the Stone Age
and a matter of minutes
bruja we can fry the grid and take this country back to the
Stone Age in a matter of minutes. Bitches vote for Mike
The hell is that the grid? And then of course, if you want to
know what the agenda is being run by the Republican Party, you
can listen to a couple of people I suggest this guy
ran is detonating missiles at exactly the altitude for an EMP
use what they're launching. And this is the head of their
military says we're launching this missiles and they keep
blowing up at exactly blowing
up because they're pieces of crap.
You're missing the whole point he's going to tell you they keep
blowing up. Exactly. They
keep launching this missiles and they keep blowing up at exactly
the same altitude know what it is. But let's just say it's you
know, you know, 21,000 feet.
Great report. It goes,
I don't know where to go.
Say 21,000 feet sounds good. When it goes up
21,000 feet, it blows up, blow down and the press would say a
failure of the missile. Next one goes up 21,000 feet blows up.
Next 120 1000 feet blows up. They've done this now for
several years and it keeps blowing up at exactly the same
altitude. And this is what you have to keep doing it. Right.
Why did they have to keep doing it? They've done it for several
years. Let's send it up. Boom, send another one up. Let's do it
again. What was the point?
This is what their leader of their their missile program
said? They were they were asked, you know, what do you say about
all these failures? And he said failures. Failure can only be
judged when you know exactly what you're trying to do. It's
real. It's real. It's real. Real.
So this will be and I think we have this in the previous
election cycle in the general election, or maybe in 2008 when
we had the EMP thing was that the last time we heard about it?
I don't I remember it was probably 2008 Because I remember
you were all in on it.
And I said well, I still have a Faraday bag with a with a ham
radio or a bag. Of course where it
is it is a hat What do you got on your head? A Faraday bag.
Give us Burton aluminum foil. And then we went to you when you
were selling your your little Cessna you we ran into some guy
was an engineer in the in the that he lectured us about this,
about the impossibility of
it. What was that? I can't remember. That was in the
in the lounge at the airport. There was this guy who just
happened to be working. He worked for Lockheed or
something.
Oakland Oakland airport, was that it? I
think yeah, the Oakland airport.
I vaguely remember that. Yeah,
well, I remember it and the guy went on and on and buses in New
Delhi discussed why this is bullcrap this whole thing, just
a bunch of nonsense.
Well, for Huckabee and Cruz to say it and black, black back
cause
is exciting, but I think it's been on the TV shows quite a
bit. They talk about it on it. The threat
Well, luckily, luckily, if we need to know anything, but
regardless of who becomes president, if we want to know
what is going on in the military slash military industrial
complex. We have a new group and a new guy to go to and you'll
never guess who it
is. does not bear. Nope. It's a guy.
So it's not a guy who he's no longer in politics. He retired
but he once was. He once was a he was a congressman and he and
he represented he was the chairman of
Lieberman because he wasn't he was a he was a senator. He was a
chairman of a very important bonehead. The guy from Michigan,
but the radio talk show him that's
the wires Mike Rogers. Yeah,
and that show ever gone on the air? No, I think
I think he this was a like a red herring or something. No, wait a
minute. His bio says he's a staple on radio. Okay, yes. What
does that even mean?
staple? They staple. staple. Like, you know, it's like it's
like bread. Mike Rogers. Yeah. It's like bread.
So he has this, this new, this new outfit called apps. I can
just see the meeting apps stands for Americans for peace,
prosperity and security. And when you think about it, that's
a horrible name for radio, because just gonna plop in
Americans for peace and prosperity securities. He has a
little video on his website to explain what he is. I took off
the first 30 minutes of bull craps
apps. Yeah, but the threat matrix facing America.
Let's just stop right there. Right made matrix.
Are you ready for it the threat matrix, it's a matrix. All
right, Mike.
But the threat matrix facing America today has never been
broader, broader. from ISIS and radical Islam nuclear Iran to
cyber hacking attempts to disrupt our very way of life my
very way of presidential leadership and emphasis on
American secure
that will lead screw my ballet next time on the very way of
life. Can I not go to the ballet because of cyber ever
been broader? from ISIS and radical Islam, a nuclear Iran to
cyber hacking attempts to disrupt our very way of life.
Our presidential leadership and emphasis on American security
has never been more critical. Hi, I'm Mike Rogers Am I formed
a new organization, Americans for peace, prosperity and
security. To ensure the next President is prepared to address
today's threats on day one, will raise the level of debate by
moving candidates beyond just rhetoric and talking points, and
will inform and involve citizens and early presidential
nominating states on national security issues. Yes, to help
elect a president who supports American engagement and a strong
foreign policy. By connecting top foreign policy and business
leaders with grassroots activists. Apps will be the
premier national security and foreign policy organization
during the 2016 debate. We are going to make a difference and
you can to join us contact apps today. Learn more about our
mission and help keep America safe and secure for your family
and for the future generations of Americans. Yes.
This guy think he is
did you see who's on his board?
Oh god. Yeah,
he's got it. He's got he. She's going to we're going to be
hearing from Mike Rogers. Let's hope not. Greg Brown chairman
and CEO of Motorola. Big deal. John Coburn. Former commanding
general US Army men. Yeah, okay.
Hadley usual suspects the guys are gonna make it happen that a
bunch of guys he rounded up I think that some of these people
can make it happen with Dave day one I haven't heard one yet.
Okay, um, you go to their team a team team to this Mike. We have
I thought we had a guy from a BA Systems on there as well. Which
would make sense if we're gonna go with Arab people's names like
Kissinger Yeah, he's just no one that you're right. It guys
us dude you don't think he won't you know he's like the I think
what he did is he saying you know the guy who's done the best
job of making something out of nothing is this character Grover
Norquist. Yeah Grover Norquist, of course shows up and he has
this pledge, he makes all these Republican signs saying they
won't raise taxes, the tax pledge. Personally, if I was my
representative, and it was, let's say it was Republicans,
let's say I was a Republican. And my representative signed off
on this Grover Norquist Pledge. I'd say, I'm Dave, my guy
supposed to be working for me? Not for Grover Norquist. Right.
I would, I would vote him out. And this rising would Roger saw
how well it worked, because everyone had to sign the pledge,
or they'd go after you. Oh, you were gonna raise taxes that's
vote him out. That's bringing a conservative, some new guy, a
neocon or something. So I believe. And I would also guess
that Roger signed this thing I would, I would bet Romney
probably. He said, Yeah, that's a great idea. I think I can do
that. Because there's money to be made. He thinks he's gonna
become a multimillionaire.
I agree. And then if you look, because of course, I have them
on my calendar for the next form 990 filing? Well, not so much.
Contributions are not tax deductible for federal income
tax purposes. So he just asked him for money to put in his
pocket. Not even not even a nonprofit go
to the trouble of doing the final one.
And I don't think he can it you know, that that does have
restrictions with it. Certainly, if you're going to be working
with Republicans.
Which he may be I don't know.
Well, he's probably going for the Koch brothers money. Yes.
Good luck.
I thought it was funny apps.
It is funny. It's hilarious.
Apps, please, Mike Rogers.
And he's doesn't seem like a like a guy who's really that
sharp
that he seems like a guy. Well, he, you know, he does a good
read, reasonably good reading from the camera that works.
Maybe he's seeing the Huckabee route. He's like, you know, let
me get involved early, but I'll make my friends early. Bring him
on in in this money making exercise will be on the radio.
And then maybe just like, Mike, I can go and run for president
one day.
Yeah, I don't know. Well, we'll have to keep track and we have
to get some copies of his show.
I don't even know if it's on the area. I'll be Mike Rogers. Well,
let me guess Mike Rogers show. Oh, yeah. It'd be
the difficult the Mike and Mike Rogers show.
Something to talk about.
With the D or not. No, no.
It's something to talk about with Mike Rogers. And when is it
supposed to light? Cumulus? Right. This is the cumulus?
Yeah. Isn't that limbaugh's guys
know he's EIB?
Yep. Okay. This is why Westwood one cumulus is a part of
Westwood one or whatever.
I can't keep
I don't think he's on the air yet. John. Strange.
It's probably because he stinks.
Yeah. Yeah, that could be a distinct possibility.
You know, going on a date I think is supposed to be a daily
show. And it's gonna be a who's gonna do a real talk show daily
talk show. That's three hours a day. Yeah. And mostly you
yakking because the days of the call and have kind of slowly
evolved into pontificating coming up. The best example of
that would be Sean Hannity. This guy comes on and he just can't
stop talking.
And then it goes on and then it does the TV thing. But once
you're in that vibe once you're really rolling on a regular
schedule, it gets pretty Do you have if you have people to help
Oh, yeah, no, you have the right because you have a lot of help.
That's true big team but this guy this Hannity, I think we've
even I mean Limbourg does his radio show and he doesn't do
anything else. Hannity does the radio show plus an hour a day of
TV which is really is just as difficult Yeah. I don't know how
he even does it but as yak yak yak, a guy can't stop talking.
Rogers goes from being kind of a dummy to to this he gets not
possible. Well, taking a lot of calls
will will keep our eyes on him. I miss him, you know, but he was
always funny when he's talking about how we're all going to die
and ISIS is going to kill you in your sleep. You know, MPLS
cumulus, yeah. And now of course, we're seeing all the
issues are starting to crop up because whatever happens, you
know, you have to hate Republicans. They're obviously
evil. Yeah. And but there was a very strange show business news,
actually. That to me immediately was apparent what was going on.
But I have a clip from NBC and I have a clip from CNN, where both
times this guy is on being interviewed. And the obvious
question really doesn't come up even though all of his talking
points or memes are right in it. This is Sofia Vergara has ex
fiance
Mike Rogers. Yes.
No, his name is a lube, lube lube and Nikolas Nick lube. l o
EBLO. Baby. Oh, EB lop Bob. Yeah. I said lube. I like Lou
better. Now he is. He's an elite. Baa. He is from the I
think he's from isn't he somehow deliberated to the Lehman
Brothers family. He'd been around. Actually, he he also
worked for his uncle's film studio Universal Studios. As an
advisor. Oh, yeah. Primary money primary colors. where he is.
Here is he Oh, I know. You've worked with Leon sorry. He
worked with Lehman Brothers. That's what it was. Anyway, so
he's a he's an elite. And here's what happened. He and Sofia
Vergara froze to impregnated embryos. I know. This is why
this is why it's a fascinating story. It's a fascinating story.
And that's why they broke up. The way he tells the story not
in these clips is you know, they tried to they they she wanted to
have a surrogate to the big planted two or implanted two
embryos into a surrogate and one was rejected. The other was a
miscarriage. Then that was it took them like four years and
then eventually they broke up as he says because he really wanted
kids and she didn't been dead it they had fro. He's got
like the body to crank out kid. She's the. She's nuts. Well, I
mean, she is like, if you look at her,
you don't know what her reasons aren't. It's not our
actress or reasons. It's gonna ruin my girlish figure.
screwball actress.
That's a reason
ladies and gentlemen, no agenda. You hear what everybody's
actually thinking? Yeah. screwball actress. And by the
way, well, actress, by the way, as we know, never marry an
actress. Bad idea.
I mean, Scarlett Johansson was pregnant had a couple of kids so
far, and she was pregnant during the filming of this movie.
So this guy is suing now for his two girls back. He said they're
girls. And he went almost they didn't name them, but he could
have. And so now the controversy, which is clearly as
the
girls,
they're in, they're frozen. Oh, the you mean, the girls are
frozen. Sophia Sophia has a new a new guy. And he has he's I
think he has, I don't know if he has new, whatever. But he wants
to have him back and he wants to raise the girls. He's got what
my bring my girls but hashtag bring my girls back. But of
course,
they're they're not frozen eggs then their embryos? I said
embryos? Yeah, you did say embryos. But I was not
registering this as though they were fertilized eggs. Yes. Well,
how do they know they're girls? Or is he just wishful thinking?
Well, this is exactly what the debate should be about. But it's
Hollywood. So we're going to this is going to spin up and
then there's an obvious place this has to go.
You each sign an agreement saying neither of you would
bring this embryo to term without the others consent. I
mean, it sort of seems like a dead issue at this point. Is it
Sofia Vergara beautiful actress. She's about to get married,
she's starting this new life very successful. She doesn't
want to have a child with her ex. You are perceived as the guy
who cannot let go of a relationship. She wants to move
on. We
filed this back in October. This is not something that is new
that has nothing to do with this at all. This has to do with
bigger, really more, you know, legal ethical concepts that are
out there about life we've already created and nothing to
do with anything else make a lot of
us wrong. It's got a lot to do with something else. Yeah, the
movie. The movie was Sofia Vergara and then Reese
Witherspoon that's a dog turkey out there. They're trying to get
some some attention. What it's about
I didn't know she had a movie out. Yes. Well,
there's that yes, timing. is so weird. All right, the Op Ed
comes out.
He also wrote an op ed in the New York Times about this case,
which of course, you know, if I write an op ed, do you think the
New York Times is going to publish it? Hmm, no. Right
at the very time that Sophia? No,
no, no, no, no, they won't even publish uncle Don's op eds
anymore.
Well, there's reasons for that as promoting this movie. She's
on the red carpet. She's doing all that kind of stuff. And then
boom, this comes out. It looks sort of like a publicity thing.
Sure. You want press?
Sure. Unfortunately, I didn't even come out with a story to
begin with. It was leaked to the press. There was comments made
by our team in the press, that I need to come out and correct the
record. I submitted the op ed to the new york times a week before
it even went out. I have no control the New York Times
prints they're off adds any financial motivation that
because I think people are going why would
he be doing this asking anything but the important questions the
deal.
Not only do I not have any financial motivation, I've
offered her to waive all risk financial responsibilities. I'll
financially pay to raise this child put it through college. I
mean, I can give these children a wonderful life. I mean, these
girls will be raised knowing that they have a father who
fought so hard for them that they'll know that they love so
much.
As a mother as
we get to doing this
story, well, I just see these two embryos going daddy were so
cold. Bring us up to live fight for us. Daddy's like the right
answers. I know what the right answer is. You didn't. You
didn't do it, which was its Mother's Day.
Oh, no, that's it. I'll go to the CNN thing you'll deal here.
What it's about
is to go out there.
This is for that damn movie. That's not for the movie. This
is for political purposes. It's very important. Because you
already have the
groundwork for something that's going to have
Yes, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. This is about When does life begin? This
is the this is always the big question the big argument when
we know we have to Hillary certainly will have to make
Republicans look like a holes over conception will take
birth control over this guy sympathetic for these two
embryos which are apparently from his perspective is when
life began and if something bad happens to him they blame the
cause of regardless of the as being a murderer or something I
don't know how this is going to end up
as strange you don't see this the what is strange when it when
it comes to Planned Parenthood when it comes to abortion when
it comes to pro life pro choice. The question is always at what
point does this matter at what point
move this like there's like a I'd say this is a pretty big
move all the way. Right to the to the yes. Very, very
beginning. And that's exactly what the pro pro lifers Yes.
Promote. Yes, that's why he calls them girls. That's why he
talks to them as if they're already human beings.
So you think he's a pro, like a stooge for the pro life? Oh,
totally. Okay, creating advisors
from CNI just to get started because connecting any issue to
Hollywood is fantastic.
This is fantastic. Okay, let me let me back up a little bit and
try to put my brain in the same gear yours seems to be in which
would go like this you back up and it's hot this is to promote
the idea that Hollywood in general are a bunch of douche
bags.
Yes, yes. Yes, this is exactly right. He's a Republican.
He wants his embryos so he can replace these these beautiful
girls yes
I want my embryos
to to be you know, have a wonderful life and Sophia isn't
kollywood Democrat a whole Yes. Oh, let him do it. So Hollywood
is now associated with a holes the way we tried to do with a
gun lovers being associated with Republicans. So we're dealing
with deep psychological strategies. Listen
to what the guy says in the CNN interview then you'll agree with
me just listen to how he's framing the conversation. We
have to go through the process again
of creating new lives when that happened to more female
right there. We went to the process again of creating new
lives and then we had two female lives that's what he's saying.
Right? Because
the process
the female out of this, but okay,
creating lives when that happened. Two more female lives
were created again, or saved
or created. We're not sure you use the term creating lives. Not
every new one. Yeah, embryos, our lives.
Why do you believe that you've already created a life?
Well, I've always believed that life begins at conception. How
else would I define what two embryos are that happened to be
female? I can't say these are female property. These are these
are the lives and they're on a journey and a pathway to being
born. Pathway now.
Guys, okay, so American businessman son of Joseph Loeb,
Jr, the CEO, Scott, Happy
Mother's Day, Sophia, you heartless bitch. You're not
letting them go on their natural path to becoming founder
Brown Girl Rhodes and Lehman family founder of the Lehman
Brothers. Okay, so he's he's, let me think from his financial
background, he's a Republican. I would think that would be
correct. Yes, yes. And so he's playing. Yeah, he's playing this
psychological strategy. Yeah, that's to make the Hollywood
women the actresses and he's a
handsome guy. He's
very good looking guy. Well spoken. You're pretty good
looking.
And in his op ed, he says, the second time the surrogate
miscarriage miscarried, I felt crushed. A year later, we tried
again, creating two more embryos both female. But as we began to
discuss other potential surrogates
make this female I don't get that.
I can only read what the New York Times prints we're not in
control of when they print or what they print. A year later,
we try it again creating two more embryos, both female. But
as we began to discuss other potential surrogates, it became
clear once more that Parenthood was much less urgent for her
than it was for me. We had been together for over four years as
I was coming on 40 I gave her an ultimatum. When she refused, we
split up, by the way, you're an asshole. But okay. Then he said
a few months later, I asked her to let me have the embryos
offering to pay all expenses to carry our girls to term and
raise them. She wants to keep them frozen indefinitely. Is
there a new Frozen movie coming up? That might be a side benefit
to these guys? Could be Yeah, it'd be some people that are
worth being frozen for. Yeah, so But this to me was pretty
obvious. Yeah. Do you want to hear more of the CNN thing? Or
you know, I'm
done. Done with it. I thought I think you made your point. I
think it's very good. It was very good, because it was a
triple whammy. You get the publicity for the movie. You get
the publicity, maybe free publicity for some other movie.
This guy gets the power and the Hollywood starlets is heartless
bitches. Yeah. Democrats, of course, that we're all
Democrats. Of course, by stereotype by stereotype is
public publicans don't Republicans in Hollywood don't
speak up in the search executives and they rarely talk.
And because they always claim Oh, I'm never gonna get work
again. To always bitching, and this probably has many
Republicans just like anyplace else is there are Democrats in
Hollywood, but they never say anything. Does it ever get work
again? No, no, no.
No. We're gonna see more of these things. It was just a new
twist. I thought it was interesting how they slip that
one. Slip that one in. If we don't I mean, you know, I'm sure
you are not following the Guardian news.
No, no, I'm
not exactly. That's my point.
I think she's something of a fake. At least I from my
understand that people who are you know, Mexicans, they said
his accent or hers is bogus.
Oh, oh, really? I didn't know that. Yeah, a couple of people
said that.
Exaggerate exaggerated bullcrap. Now.
See, where do you want to go? I have all kinds of discombobulate
NSA being rebuked finally some Yes. Yeah, let's
do that. That's good play. Here's
the intro. You can talk about it. NSA barrel
appeals court has ruled the National Security Agency's bulk
collection of millions of Americans phone records illegal.
The program was exposed by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The ACLU filed its lawsuit based largely on Snowdens revelations
and a unanimous decision Thursday three judge panel of
the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York hold the
bulk phone records collection unprecedented and unwarranted.
The ruling comes as Congress faces a June 1 deadline to renew
the part of the Patriot Act that authorizes the NSA is bulk data
surveillance. Another measure the USA Freedom Act would reform
some of the NSA programs.
Yeah, neither one of those if the free USA Freedom Act is also
not what we want.
That's of course not that's why we were you can tell by the
name. Yeah.
Let's put freedom in the title. They'll think it really gives
them some freedom. Yeah, exactly. And And again, we have
stories of a clapper explaining how he really misunderstood the
question. He forgot when he was asked if there was bulk spying.
And he said no, not not wittingly. But he thought it was
about section 716. And they didn't know that question was
going to be asked because of course all the questions are
always sent over in advance for these little get togethers on
the hill. So they're bringing that back and
even when they do that they still don't swear I'm in
correct.
Now and there was there was another did I wonder if I save
that article? Yes, Congress once again, has told the court that
it cannot be investigated under insider trading. This keeps on
cropping up that even after the President signed the Stock Act
into law, lawyers
within the Stock Act just require filing those papers,
that paperwork that they bury down in
the basement. Yeah, well, you can only get it if you make a
copy. You have to go to Xerox copy copy. You can make a xerox
copy. I thought he
had to hand write it out
in Braille.
Lawyers for the House of Representatives in a brief filed
last summer claimed an SEC investigation of congressional
insider trading needs to be blocked on principle, because
lawmakers and their staff are constitutionally protected from
such inquiries given the nature of their work.
Yeah. Yeah. To Great, it's a bonanza,
but the SEC should have already sort of known this and the fact
that they are doing this is interesting by itself
harassment, of course, it's harassment. Civic person.
Yeah, we know that they don't actually do anything real. If we
can figure
out who the target of this was, we might be on to something
else. That might be fun.
Well, let's see who screams the loudest about it right now is
Boehner so that would be that's who it is. Wait a minute. I've
got it here. Brian Sutter, then a staffer for the House Ways and
Means Committee? Is that one of banners committees? I don't
think so maybe allegedly passed along information about an
upcoming Medicare decision to a lobbyist who then share the tip
with other firms, bleeding hedge funds, use the insider tip to
trade on health insurance stocks that were affected by the soon
to be announced Medicare decision. Yeah. Yeah. And we can
talk about this now you want to we talk about
God rousted because Brian Sutter. Oh, actually, I bet you
got arrested for the cash. Look at this. Brian Sutter joined the
Capitol Hill Consulting Group in 2015. As Senior Vice President,
okay, now you go. Hey, thanks. That was good work. Want you to
join the company? Yeah, here's
your pile of money. You're offered by the red probably went
after him after the fact after he quit.
But probably the everyone's afraid because they don't want
any they don't want anyone messing around in their little
muddy waters there. No. So since it would just touching on health
care, there was so after our conversation about the ICD 10
codes, which is not really relevant at this at this point,
but it's it's such a huge industry, pharmaceutical and the
medical, you know, the keep people sick industry. And
there's one conversation that one topic that we've been
wanting to talk about for a bit, but I caught this other news
report. And I believe it relates directly back to some of the
information we've been receiving via email and a lot from
doctors, surgeons, dudes named Ben, everyone involved in how
the new medical system works. Apparently, with Medicaid,
certainly, there's a move towards the bundled payment.
Have you heard about this? No. So the idea is that the insurer,
whether that is Medicaid or private insurer would and I
think it's already happening, actually, instead of going
through every single, you know, code all the time and be looking
if they are going to reimburse, etc, for this is
Medicaid, not Medicare or Obamacare?
I don't I don't have that answer. I think a big difference
thing is Medicaid.
SSI Medicaid is like for people who are broke,
yes. For people who are broke correct,
poor pen and they try to give whatever they also there's also
a scam aspect to where the government like if you have
property, like say you live in, you know, a woman living in a
house, and you have to use Medicaid because you got no
insurance, you got no money and you got a broken hip. They tried
to take your house from you. At the end of the at the
horse at the end of your life. At the end of your life, they
tried to take your house away when we can so the concept here
is the bundle payment instead of you know, okay, we'll approve
50,000 for the cat or for this or 12,000 for the CAT scan, etc.
They say here is per patient, here's an X amount of money over
the lifetime of that patient over if for a year. It's
probably a lifetime. And you over here you determine how
you're going to dole that out to somebody.
Well, who's the you in this story?
The recipient of the money so who is the hospital or the
doctor or if you're insured?
If you're insured, you don't get Medicaid?
No. But the insurance the insurance company is going to do
the same but the to the facility that okay, a bundled payment
example would be If someone is going in and they have this
particular thing, you need new new hips, here is $150,000 for
the person's new hips, no matter how you do it, if you have them
stay for a week, if they're, you know, if you kick them out after
two days, if you screw it up, it doesn't matter, everything is
all included. And then you figured out how you're going to
do that procedure. So yes, it is actually per these big, I'm
sorry, it is part of the big procedures, but it's part of the
bundled payment system. And of course, in summary, if you look
at the cost of the hip, in some, in some states, in some
hospitals, it could be 50,000, whereas in others, it could be
150,000. So you're going to see a lot of movement, a lot of
things, that people having to go to different places, I guess,
different states to get the same procedure. But as a part of
this, I think we're seeing price price change as a new price
fixing going on in the market. And there was a report on
Bloomberg about the prices of diabetes drugs, which by the way
is now is that rageous just if you hear what it costs on an
annual basis anyway. But how, and not even not even saying and
I'll just say price fixing, but how the prices within a penny,
within a few seconds, we'll change and adjust so that
they're all on parity. So there's really in the United
States that is only one price for and a very exorbitant price
for these types of drugs. So pretty much now you can do
anything you want is I guess my point, you do anything you want
in the pharmaceutical industry. There's no one looking over your
shoulder, no one understands how it works.
And this has changed how
it's Well, I think. But since the Affordable Care Act, I think
it is the way insurance companies are now allowed to
operate and doing these types of bundled payments, and seemingly
no oversight. You get stuff like this
very interesting. It's very curious. But we surveyed, we
survey literally hundreds of big selling drugs to determine what
was going on the prices in the last five years. And we found,
you know, dozens of them whose prices have doubled in just five
years at a time when inflation was very low. And one of the
most intriguing things we found with some of these competing
drug categories competition seem to drive the prices up. And in
fact, as you said, in diabetes and an insulin market, we saw
exact price matches for some of these competing drugs,
literally, sometimes down to the decimal points. The next day
they were the prices rise in tandem over a period of time,
all the price increases are matched. So is this but is this
an antitrust violation? If the companies are, you know, setting
the prices independently, even if they're following each other?
The expert we spoke to said no, it's not if they're really
working independently, but if they decide that's the best
business strategy, but as long as it's independent, it may be
seen as a competitively unhealthy market. But they're
not the competitive violator, not
colluding together to do.
Yes. And the interesting thing about the insulin market is
there's really only three companies insulin markers. So
it's a very slide.
I think the points been made. This is nothing new.
Well, the the only thing that was on there later was the acid
is new. It's increased. Increased incredible, incredible
amount over the years, years.
Two years ago, a year ago, we've been talking about this. Yeah,
it's not new. This is not new. They've been gouging, and
they've been jacking up the prices. And when Obamacare came
in, it went up higher. Yeah. And it's just because they can get
away with it because nobody cares. There's no oversight. I
don't see what's new is I'm sorry, is this show only about
new? Well, no, you're you're bringing you're beating a dead
horse with this. No, I think the interesting. Okay, no offense.
No, no
offense taken.
It's not interesting. Like, okay, we got a new scan kind of
daunting to see that it is. That's just the, you know,
somebody's doling out money. This hasn't really shaken itself
out. We don't know that this is a bad thing or good thing. It's
just another thing. And there's and then drugs or rip off it
because they're fixed, the prices are fixed, and the
government is doing nothing about it. And, and, and this
way, if you if you hook this into to Warren, Elizabeth Warren
coming in to fix this, which, you know, she would probably
complain about it to get votes. I would be more interested in
this story, but I don't find this even remotely interesting.
Okay, I'm sorry to aboard you, you Well,
I at least I didn't say Oh, there's another five minutes of
my life. I'll never get back because it was 10 minutes. But
no, that was not your best effort. Okay. I don't know maybe
people would disagree.
I'm waiting to see what you got big boy. Well, you can threaten
me all you want. But I do have this and while I have to push
these off now. I have a question. How come everybody in
the world is celebrating V Day but the United States and if you
noticed this,
we had a proclamation.
Well, was it
that today's VE Day, but it's not really our celebration? What
I know it's
we were the ones that was cool according to our own litany. You
don't
want to go spike the football
but this is not a celebration of spiking the football play this
clip WWE two vs. or V day
wait an hour international commemorations to mark the
anniversary were held in Poland where the Second World War
started. UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon joined the European
leaders at a ceremony in Gdansk.
Remembrance services have also been held in other countries to
mark the end of the Second World War.
A moment of reflection in Paris, French President Francois Olano
lays a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and veterans
honor their fallen comrades. In the rest of the city, the mood
is more upbeat. military parades and music commemorate the French
Resistance against German occupation. May 8 is a day of
celebration here.
The tone is very different in Poland. Germany's Eastern
neighbor in Gdansk a ceremony took place at the site with a
fire
John it's just so fucking riveting. How can you make me
stop
it? Here's the point. Why do they the Germans I got to
Salvador chavalla What the Germans call it the Germany
capitulation day, and they celebrate when
you're a loser lose good.
But why do we not even we have a proclamation of Presidents Day
by the way? What Why is this Why is everybody all jacked up about
the end of the war, the Russians in particular, and the Russians
are claiming that they won the war for everybody. And we're
just like, on the sidelines, it just well isn't?
Well, so So you have two things going on Victory Day, victory of
Europe Day Victory in Europe Day, I should say. And then you
have Soviet victory day. So so maybe that's why we didn't
participate. A lot of of our Russian handlers, emailed all
kinds of things about that. Now, the Soviets, they signed the
German surrender documents on May eighth in Berlin, by the
way, I understand it, because of the time difference. It was
already may 9, in Moscow. That's why they celebrate their victory
day on the ninth of May as well. But then, by definition, taking
credit for the surrender of the Germans.
Right, they do that. And they have a kind of an argument as it
because they lost so many people that they you know, are and
they're stopped of Germans from going into Russia. And we were
just on the sidelines from that, at least on that front. But it
just seems to me to be screwy when you start with you read the
Manchester book or any of these things about World War Two and
the outrageous productivity that we exhibited, to get into the
war. And then after the war be coming because of the you know,
we're the unscathed victors. Even though we lost a lot of
people, the world's policeman, we don't even acknowledge this,
it seems to me except from some presidents or proclamation, I
guess, somebody showed up to throw a reef somewhere.
Well, here's one for you. But let me just dig into my bag of
conspiracy tricks. As you know, World War Two never officially
ended, John. Yes, we had never had never had Go ahead. I've
read the documents. It's real. World War Two never really
ended. So for us to go and celebrate Victory in Europe Day
and as both the Russians, but there is something to be said
for what's going on right now in Ukraine with US troops and
Russian troops. And also the states, the NATO states that are
Russia facing as witnessed by and this was overtime and see if
I can get if see if I can scratch my way back into your
favor. This is Kasparov. Of course, being the Putin hater.
And I think he plays chess. And he's on overtime with Bill Maher
with a bunch of douche bags with Jane Harman and D G squiggly
whatever his name is. It was a horrible show to watch. But then
this little thing happened where Kasparov just ripped everybody.
I think you've ripped out a good one you want
to vaporizing them, we vaporize them and their entire community.
Oh, you would agree with what I was just saying? It's because
we're there. Yeah. If we weren't there. No. Should we be there?
How we're there.
What's it what is Mar referring to?
He's saying I'm sorry, I should have set that up better. They
have a quick conversation about the US being an M Higher he's
saying we are an empire we have troops all over the world bases
all over the world at Harmonix accepted fact it totally
accepted. One little difference though about Germany in
particular. We don't have an empire. We don't have an America
before. We may be true I just
like 150 Different countries in the world you crazy. We have
like 760 bases around.
I love everyone's clapping in the Obama bot audience. Yes.
Bases are saying yes. You recognize where she should
heels. What are they clapping?
Clapping that's I think they're clapping because the
producer held up a clap sign.
Whoa, well, yeah, nevermind.
50,000 troops in Germany, I think we got hit
by by 2070. There is no single American tank.
This is Kasparov now say? Yeah. Okay, you got all the true but
no tanks in Europe.
And by the way, if you will, you're praising Obama's, you
know, peace record. Because of this week policy. Now, he had no
choice but to bring American soldiers the small detachment
100 Soldiers of 10 tanks at the Russian border. First time in my
living memory. American troops are facing Russian troops in
Estonia, Latvia, because it's those small countries or NATO
members. And by 2013, there were no American tanks in Europe at
all.
Wake me when he takes Poland. Anyway. I like
that. That's pretty funny. Kasparov. He just his head
whipped around to look at Bill Maher.
I mean, yes, we
listen to eight holes in the audience. Fuck the polls. It was
great.
I mean, yes, we move to hunt.
You make jokes about this? Yes. Obviously. Both suffered from I
hope no, no.
Comedy Show Gary. We make jokes about everything. I have to
watch out. It's not about the Holocaust. You made it about the
Holocaust. But for poles is tough. For poles. It's Tommy
Lynn support
him and killed by Russians and Germans. Gary,
shut up. This is a stupid thing to say. I'm sorry. I'm a big fan
of yours. But to say that I was making a holocaust joke when I
said no. Wake me when
I thought it was a Holocaust joke. Kind of, kind of.
Well, I didn't think it was when I heard it the first time but in
hindsight, I could see where that could be. Yeah, yeah,
holocaust.
But what Kasparov is saying which is really not discussed
here at all is we indeed have troops now I was looking for the
name for that I think it's is it to Operation Atlantic Resolve I
think it's maybe that's what it's called maybe and and this
is the what is casually known as the train and supply mission.
But they we this is US troops several 100 on the Ukrainian
Russian border.
What about all the troops they sent into Ukraine to do
training?
Well, apparently they're all at the border. Now. I don't know
what's going on.
I think they're still I think they're in I think they just
went in there's like 100 or 200 maybe three or 400 Yeah, right
but the new training and they're in Ukraine.
Yeah, but it's training means you're fighting alongside of
them and saying hey, watch the watch. No, no,
no, please. Oh, please.
Hey, why I'll show you how to do it. Follow me. This is how you
This is how we roll here in America. That's right.
Okay, here it is. operate. This is defense.gov so website
Operation Atlantic Resolve is demonstrating it continued. It
says under this subhead is America's continued commitment
to European security isn't as NATO's job.
Yeah. Hello. Who's NATO?
Isn't NATO a cooperative of a bunch of these countries?
Oh, John. Yes, but of course we it's all our money then
everybody had to pony up all the states you remember President
Obama went last year he said hey, you're not putting in your
two or 3% of your GDP into military Hello? Remember Head of
Sales Barry calling Hello hello hello come time to pony up yeah
this is the now we're putting it to good use. John McCain is
loving it
you got to see this you got to go to this site. It's got these
recent US military events in New York with a click pins
what? Oh, I have no I have it right here. This is the
defense.gov website Yeah,
yeah. And there's pins like if you click if you put your little
cursor
on it kind of cool doesn't let me get into the Chat Room Air to
Air Refueling
missions and supportive NATO that's in the great as in Great
Britain, you go into looks like Poland. We have. What are we one
of the clicks is request for military assistance. Don't click
Don't click it. Oh, this is actually not clicking. Oh,
that's Ukraine. I see it. Yes Ukraine and it's also got so
they got a request they got us Ukraine bilateral defense
consultations so it's gonna be 100,000
meals ready to eat,
train and equip Ukraine's national guard. Yeah. Nice. Yeah
this is we're all over the place but this is real there's one
exercise platinum Eagle 14 or all
that doesn't beat Jade Helm 15 though but what is it? I don't
see it. I don't see it on this page and
Bolgheri I believe this area. Hmm. And there's a bunch of
stuff in the ocean. Oh, the boats are here. Wow. Yeah, they
are the Taylor says Taylor. The Donald Cook. Yeah, the truck. I
don't even know what that is. The Thruxton the trucks in the
village gold. They're all in the Black Sea. Yes. sitting near.
Where is this terrible. surrounded? Hello Crimea. How
you doing over there? Yeah, yeah,
I think that's what Kasparov was trying to say. He's trying to
say no, it's been a while in my lifetime there's not even been
tanks but now you have the Operation Atlantic Resolve.
Which by itself sounds pretty damn scary. I watched Susan
power for an hour on child Charlie Rose trying to get a
clip. Is it possible you
got my respect back?
What would Atlantic Resolve that you
know that you would put yourself through I really tried an hour
an hour Charlie Rose and Susan Powell.
And the worst part is Charlie has his you know his trademark
white button down shirt on with the cuffs open. And he is
sporting a white banded Apple Watch.
No,
it's a not a No, Charlie. Yeah. Yeah, a white band. What is
that's got to be product placement, if anything out and
white bands. So I'm watching the Twitch show. And I don't want to
plug them because it's not our show. But they were talking
about this watch and all of them needs to do. Does everyone have
one of these watches? And everybody took their right arm
or their left arm I guess and held it up with a fist. And it
was like a straight up. Looks like a salute. Heil. Watch. Did
you see this? You're also holding a fist up. We got to
watch. Apple,
Apple. Apple.
I thought it was just disturbing.
No, I didn't watch and say about me. I'll Apple high level.
Looks like if he's got one too. And in?
I believe in didn t we just have I don't have a clip of that. I
believe there were two journalists. But not not
journalists, two people who were working for an NGO in Ukraine
were arrested on suspicion of being spies. Yes, here we go.
Here we go. Ukraine rebels released to US AID workers. And
this gets really good. The two men are believed to have been
working for the International Rescue Committee, NGO in East
Ukraine. Now, do you think he can look at one more with me
just go to rescue.org? I don't know. Did we ever talk about
these guys? Did I completely miss it? Oh, screw me. I pulled
the form 990 on these guys. Oh, man. $450 million. They've got
an income for 2013 alone. rescue.org Mother's Day rescue
gifts. But if you look at now look at the board and overseers
telling me that's not the kind of company you want. You want to
be looking at Tim Geithner Oh, yeah. is in there. Who else do
we have? Gordon Smith? David Miliband?
Hello. Yeah. David Miliband, this is his operation. You're
right. And then Ed Miliband is brother.
So I pulled the form 9990. So okay, so these guys have two
people who were accused of being spies in eastern Ukraine. And
they were working for this organization, which is a cash
only organization that they they just do cash in cash out $456
million in revenue in 2000s.
I guess in my operation to me, yes. But
I made a marked up this documents. I'll tell you a
little bit about what's going on. But a lot of money, of
course, going to the advertising the hire firm and Roth
advertising. They got half a million Accenture got 600. They
got a couple of you know, everyone's got like five
$600,000. Here their government grants. This is the bulk of
their income is $305 million. So what's nice about the form 90
and 990 is you if if someone donates about five $1,000 as a
single entity, you have to report it. But first let's
stop you for a second. Sure. Is this the same Liv Ullman? That's
the actress. She's the Vice Chair International. It's just a
coincidence. I
don't know who live Allman is. Live Allman, the actress? I
don't know. Oh, I don't know Liv Tyler.
When she's in Norwegian actress and film director, okay, one of
the muses that,
oh, maybe you're thinking Tracy Ullman?
Well, that's probably why I'm thinking but live on is the name
and she is an actress.
Well, by coincidence, then, and the famous Well, you gotta keep
going. I'm sorry. You're looking at the Board
of Directors also. So you'd look at Goldman Sachs healthcare
group Evercore partners into abyssea. There's Milliband
Morgan Stanley says all banks and advertising BBDO worldwide,
who will says on here? Anyway, for this non governmental
organization quite a lineup, even. Let's see, well, David
Miliband takes no money. I guess he can't but George Rupp, the
CEO and president for Hyundai.
Does he still in public office? And maybe he
is well, this was 2013 So maybe you couldn't do with them. But
the CEO gets 430 million the CFO 300 A million 1000 The CFO
300,000 You know, everyone's making out like bandits. And of
course, I'm expecting to see the US AI D at the top of the list
of donors. No, no, no, no, they are. They are number 430 $6
million went to this outfit. In 2013, from us AI D. But the
Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, which I'd never
heard of 39 million, the Bureau of Population Refugees and
Migration 59 million. And then the number one donor was the
Department for International Development. This is the British
version of the US AI d d f ID. And they came in with $62
million. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure those guys were nd and they just
they were spot. They're obvious. It's funny because there's
there's must be 50 pages of payments, and it just says cash
assistance. And it says who and of course where most of the
money is going to only 80 million really went into Europe.
And then they have a couple errant millions for Russia and
the newly independent states have nothing for Russia actually
252,008 that Putin but then the real money 100 and 70 million
sub Sahara Africa. South Asia 75 million
surprise the coop. Clooney is not on the list. Yes, there's
some of these people on here. He has actually this is more like
it that other organization you mentioned earlier Yeah. Mike's
you have any heavy hitters? No, it's nothing like this. This is
like ridiculous we have we have the guy the chairman of Penguin
Group and executive director of Pearson, the Common Core are on
here. Kofi and Nan is our Madeleine Albright is on this
list. People eat bugs. William Bennett and you got Madeline
This is always the thing that bothers them. You got William
Bennett the big Republican who is also a gambling addict, I
guess. phony and then Madeleine Albright in the same group with
Kofi anon in the drinking club called the overseers it's just
like unbelievable. I wonder how much money they get
those guys for being on the board well this is not the board
this the overseers they may not get anything that was not
reported. Let's put it that way. They've got to get some
Michael Blumenthal. He's not getting his wife Betsy.
If this is the big club man then you know
Brokaw? It's a good list isn't it? A great list
um none of them have I'm looking at the directors trustees none
of them let me see if it's a seamless No, none no none unless
it's going here unless someone's building some other way I don't
know about that. But
I think the live almond connection I think it is the
actress because she does a lot of work for the UN. This is some
scam going on here.
So anyway, and yes. Intel
Intel specialist.
So I'm thinking I'm thinking these guys.
As mentioned earlier, Henry Kissinger. Here you
go. Once you have Henry on board is a very good organization is
very good. Ukrainian not important.
Yeah, well, yeah, spies.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in
the morning to you, John. See where the C stands for
continuity Dirac
well in the morning to you Adam curry in the morning all ships
to see boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and
all the dames knights
in the morning everybody in the chat room no agenda stream.com
Good to see you all participating. Yes blitz Spies
Like Us in the morning to 20 watt bulb bought us the artwork
for episode 719 or loved the state of Texas with the hidden
guns in the artwork. You remember that one?
Yes. 20 watt bulb was good. Yeah. No agenda, our generator
dioxide by the way, which we don't like to use stolen art. I
mean, it's been done, but it says to be very derived. And we
always check. So people who think they're you know, there is
a image search capability that you can use to look up images
and we use it to make sure it looks end with 21 Bob Oh, he's a
professional. We
almost always say you know, it's not stolen.
We don't worry about so much. So we check this one we actually
check we check. And it's like his because sometimes it's just
like so slicks and or somebody has have done this before. The
best example I don't know. I don't know if remember was 20
watt bulb, I'd have to look it up. But the guy who did the
skull that was in the shape of Africa. Oh, yeah. Was like, oh,
this can't do it. No, we couldn't find it. It looked and
looked. And no, this was original art just for our show.
I'm surprised but I was stunned that nobody else had done it.
Anyway, sorry.
And no agenda art. generator.com is where you can find all
submissions. Of course, we only really choose one each time it's
each episode. But you can do a lot with lots of people print
them out frame them. It's beautiful. It's good to look at.
Yeah, it's inspiring.
You know, you get a pretty good sized image you can make us
think of like a six by six or something quilt
you could make a quilt
quilt
quilt. The way the program works is you support the program
multiple ways to do that. Certainly financially so we can
speak freely on any topic we want anything anyway anyhow. And
people who come in and support the program the most of the
beginning just like Hollywood, we give you the executive
producer credits and Associate Executive producer credits. And
well a lot of people came in on the on the associate exec I
think, actually no, three and three, three and three. But
overall,
but then after that, we got nothing. I'll tell you right now
after we got to the 50 from above 50 and below 200 We had a
grand total of 15 people out of a mailing that went the 14,000

Moving on to Associate Executive Producers Sir Brian Ferguson of
Foothill Ranch California. $250. When I saw the newsletter, I was

segment of the show. I want to thank these folks that remind
you that we do have a show coming up on Thursday and that
will be divorced.org/na to kind of help.org/n
A and of course in those days you know it doesn't take that
long to send Pay Pal propagate the formula. Our formula
is this we go out we get people in the mouth
a citizen
Yes. All right. I'm just looking there's something in here that
was in this list of reads that was wanting me to go look
something up.
While you're doing that.
I don't know what it is. That's the problem. I lost track. I
didn't write it down. Let's
I'm worried to do anything. Now. I'm so worried. I'm going to
bore you. I don't know. Oh, get off. A day where I don't make
you laugh. It's just not a good show.
Here's state to permanent Clinton. Did you see this? Yeah,
I
did about the about them not doing something or anything.
Yeah, this,
this is done. It's boring. But they get a little idea of what's
going on. It's no good without the women, they got this
douchebag character. Yeah.
And Matt had does not have any kind of rapport with him.
No none at all. In fact, it seems a little cowed by the guy.
To be clear. Coming back to something that has come up
earlier this week. We aren't aware of any actions taken by
Secretary Clinton that were influenced by donations to the
Clinton Foundation or its offshoots, or by speech
honoraria and consultancies a former President Clinton.
Okay, but why not? I mean, why do you not?
Again, we aren't aware of any actions.
You're not aware, because you haven't looked into them? Right?
Well, but again, let's let's go back to what what we did do
during her tenure, over the course of her tenure, we
reviewed dozens of entities each year. The Clinton Foundation
also is a charitable organization. So we would not
have had the obligation to review their donation beyond
what was committed to in the MOU.
Right. But But what they committed to in the MOU in terms
of the listing the private donors, whether or not the State
Department had to review them, or was supposed to review them
beforehand to see if they were okay or not. It would seem to me
to make sense that if they didn't live up to their end of
the MOU, you would at least go back and take a look at the
private donations and see whether that might raise any
questions
goes on back and forth. It's almost like a circle. He'd say,
Oh, we do. We didn't do that. And well, you didn't do that,
because you didn't want to do that. And they went back and
this went on for about 1015 minutes, these two guys had
gotten nowhere, of course. And then Matt couldn't, couldn't
keep his asking the same questions over again now.
And the only real takeaway I got from this whole exchange was
maybe 10 minutes, he just kept on going and going. There is an
anon band
by the way, they also they the guy pulled it from Matt, at some
point went to another guy who continued asking the same
questions. And Matt came back into it. That's how it went on
for you. Right at least 10 minutes, maybe more, right? The
protecting the Hillary?
Well, the new entity that we're not or there's not being
discussed is the Clinton Health Alliance, Alliance initiative,
this Chai ch AI. And this is a black box. It's a it's a sister
or daughter organization. But there's no filings on it. And
it's all neatly wrapped up in this little ball. They got the
Canadian thing. They got the Clinton Health Alliance
initiative, you can only imagine what kind of money is flowing
into that, but there's no record of it. But
at this point, really, what there is doesn't mean anything,
it's no one hears this, no one gives a shit. We've been saying
this is the problem for years. We're in 2008. We were the first
time she ran, we'd said this. This is the real problem. No one
cares.
Yeah, it's a conduit for bribes. Yeah. And it's a beauty. Yeah,
it really is quite good. Oh, no. And also because there's
charitable organization. This reminds me of the way the Yakuza
work in the Yakuza than the Japanese mob. They have a little
Gambit that they play they were going to try to do in the United
States. They tried to buy the Pebble Beach Golf Course. But
the locals got irked about this. And the first thing that we're
going to do is what they do is they change the course fees to
something outrageous. And then you have to be a member, it's
cost $10,000. So the idea is you buy a golf course this is they
do this in Japan, you buy a golf course, you have outrageous like
you know, 10,000 a year is minimum, sometimes it's 100,000.
Could be anything. It's ridiculous. And the idea is as a
distort if you're being extorted by the Yakuza. The way you pay
your bill to them is not by giving them money, you have to
take a membership out in one of these golf places
that they over a million a year. Yeah.
And they were trying to pull that they're trying to bring
that idea here the United States by buying Pebble Beach and you
already talked about the raising the fees. It was only just, you
know, the to extort money. And there's no reason to believe
that the Clintons haven't stumbled onto something very
similar with this screwball operation they have seems like a
good way to extort. Oh, you know, if you give some money to
our charity, there's no reason for the Saudis they get their
own charities. Why are they given him money?
But the whole at the end of the year, John at the end of my
life, this is no one cares. I don't just absolutely nobody
cares. Everybody's already all fine. All in all Okay, with that
being Hillary, well, she's not the best you know, but she's the
one we need. He deserves it. She deserves it. That's right. She
deserves it. Well, I still I pray still every single night.
Yes. Let's do it. Let's take a look at.
Oh, I got it the breaking news.
What kind of news real news or no?
Breaking news. Breaking news breaking news
play the clip threat levels up. Yeah,
the threat level has been raised at US military bases nationwide.
That puts security at its highest level in nearly four
years. Pentagon officials say there has been no specific
threat. Instead, they cite general concerns since last
weekend's attack on an exhibit and contest of Mohammed cartoons
in Texas.
Okay. All right, since all right, cause the threat levels
go up.
I thought we didn't do those anymore. The threat levels. I
thought that was done. Well, let's talk about this for a
moment. I caught another fine piece on MSNBC. And by the way,
I'm the only person catching it because no one else really
watches it. But still, it's important because this is how
memes get started, which we'll get to in a moment. This is they
have a terrorism expert. And remember now we're looking at I
have some more information on this. We're looking at how
freedom of speech, possibly or probably will be curtailed in
these United States of Gitmo nation where we still have some
of it forget you guys in EU, if you're interested, I'll tell you
by saying holding a cartoon contest is provocation and
therefore is not protected. Free speech. And I have I think
somewhere I have a you know the example of yelling fire in a
crowded theater. That actually that never happened. No one was
there's no example of that happening. It was only used as
an example in will play this clip, and then I'll look for
this. Look for the fire in a crowded theater thing. But this
isn't a fence that it's going towards and you'll hear this
terrorism expert. I don't know his name is comparing these
people to some very evil beings. It's
not the first time that someone a homegrown extremist has looked
to target someone like Geller for exactly this reason. And I
would say together, look, you have the right to do this. But
you also have a responsibility. Freedom of speech is a very
serious, right and it comes with a responsibility. You have a
responsibility to act in a way that is restrained, according to
fact, and simply yelling at someone and saying terribly
nasty things that someone look and then to complain about the
fact that someone reacts violently to that, to me, that's
like lighting the Reichstag on fire, and then complaining that
your fingers got singed, you cannot infringe upon someone
else. I'm sorry.
Oh, it's
not as though that that analogy just that an analogy. Did his
bowl crack? Yeah.
Yes. Yes, it gets word upon
someone else's freedom of expression. You cannot infringe
upon someone else's freedom of speech, and then claim that as
you who is the victim, it does not work that way.
Wait a minute. He's He's very interesting. What do you mean?
Yeah,
he's Coleman, Koh, L M A N N. He's saying that the drawing a
cartoon is infringing on someone else's free speech. I don't see
how that works. I don't see how that works. And turning into
Kristallnacht for the Reichstag is very interesting.
You cannot infringe upon someone else's freedom of speech, and
then claim that as you who is the victim, it does not work
that way. No one has the right to commit acts of violence in
the name of faith. No one has the right to commit acts of
violence because someone says something offensive. But people
that exercise the freedom of speech, also have a
responsibility to understand that words have meaning and that
they can cause harm. And that's why we have oh,
no Sticks and stones may break my bones.
But words can cause harm. This is I find this very interesting
that this and whoever the host is just agreeing. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's right, these hosts.
And that's why we have libel laws. That's why we have
defamation laws. And that's why we have hate crime law. Oh, and
I would suggest that what Pamela Geller is doing comes in some
cases quite close to what is normally defined as a hate
crime.
Wow, hold on a sec. Do you make this leap of faith? You got
libel laws? And you have hate crime laws. Let's assume that
these are fine, even though we have our doubts. What's that got
to do with having an exhibition of cartoons?
It's a hate crime. That's what he's saying. He says it comes
near very near to a hate crime. How's that? I don't know this.
He's the expert. I don't know. But it's is getting closer to
the you know, the last time we looked at something from 1942,
the shouting fire in a crowded theater. This is where they're
driving towards they're trying to position the First Amendment
which I would like to write and remind everybody. The First
Amendment does not give anybody any rights, you already have the
right to free speech, the first amendment for forbids the
federal government or the US government from infringing upon
that right. That's pretty much what the Bill of Rights is. So
don't get trapped into this. Bill. You have you have this
right, because of the First Amendment. No, no. But if you go
back even earlier,
that for some reason, we have to continually remind everybody
because the media won't do it.
So this and there was a court decision, and I believe this was
or 1919 This is Wendell Jones verse or the was it 1919 Shank
versus United States. Here we go. This was a Supreme Court
case. And out of this. Out of this case, came the phrase
shouting fire in a crowded theater so that never actually
happened. But this is one of the one of the examples where free
speech apparently according to the Supreme Court was not
protected. He oversaw printed and mailed more than 15,000
leaflets to men slated for conscription. During World War
One the leaflets urge men not to submit the to the draft saying
do not submit to intimidation, assert your rights. If you do
not assert and support your rights, you are helping to deny
or disparage rights, which is the solemn duty of all citizens
and the residents of the United States to retain and he urged
them not to comply with the draft now he was convicted based
on I think was a part of the Espionage Act and they fought
this on first amendment right. But he lost it was apparently if
the if you create a clear and present danger, which is another
one of those terms like Okay, now that has something to do
with it, then indeed, the the most stringent protection of
free speech would not protect us the Supreme Court would not
protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theater and
causing a panic the question in every case is whether the words
used are used in such circumstances and are of such a
nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will
bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right
to prevent.
So you you got this reference from something you read one
reference the one you just gave us the one they
don't know that's that is the opinion of the court this isn't
you didn't dig it up by by digging through old documents
you
just what do you think what you think I do on Saturday nights
not go to the ballet then I get my patrons
ask you if you want me to. Because it sounds to me is
though this is something somebody's trying to promote? Or
are you or is this did this just come out of your base? I want to
know because I want to know whether this is something we
have to be on the lookout? Yes, yes. It's something you dug up.
Well, this is something that just goes back to the previous
episode where we were there saying that this type of free
speech is not permitted under the First Amendment and they're
moving it towards anybody
citing this particular case besides you. Not this particular
one? No. Okay. No, that's interesting. Well, they will now
well, it's going if he says listen to what he's talking
about how this is not protected it guys obviously not a lawyer
but it's it borders on hate speech, hate crimes, all things
which are really very very fuzzy a crime is a crime whether it's
done out of hatred or not, but okay, we have I think what what
we'll see happen is if you do if you commit a hate crime, which
and hate crime probably would then result in a clear and
present danger to the citizens of the United States, then it is
not protected under the First Amendment. I think that's where
this is going. How I mean, what what are they he doesn't even
give any basis for his claim, but I gotta presume this guy's
just some shield dickhead who's saying whatever he's meant to
say.
Well, I'm still trying to get my head around the idea that having
a art exhibition is any sort of hate crime well as much as
little guy comes and starts gunning down people I mean, it
seems that the hate crimes committed by the offender the
guy with a gun not
sure sure Okay, so congratulations that's that's
that's what they're using was doing and again
is they can they make I think we're trying to get to here can
they make the
the crime of this showing
the art of provocation can they make can they make anything that
results in violence by some maniac can they make that the
actual that act provocation And and if that's the case, then
it's that person's fault. And so the other person acted out of
because they were provoked and that less than the crime that
they committed if they tried to get me that's a good thing they
shot these guys would probably be making a federal case out of
the whole thing. But this is not good any of it.
No, no. But you remember this CNN douchebags on in the morning
with Makayla, he was tweeting out saying, you know, it's not
protected by the First Amendment, you know, you should
read you should read the Constitution understand what it
says. Then so these are the only two cases that pop up whenever
you try to look into when can some form of action, and this is
why the shouting fire in a crowded theater comes up, which
did not actually happen, but was mentioned in the court's opinion
about this guy, who and I think it's even it's an Oculus, an
Oculus know what's the Oculus. Oculus sounds innocuous.
It's innocuous
an Oculus, I believe it's something you put over your
eyes, virtual reality Oculus Rift.
They're trying to turn this type of X into a hate crime. And I
guess this guy spreading 15,000 leaflets, because men wouldn't
sign up, then it will be dangerous to the country.
Therefore, it's a clear and present danger, it comes down
to how does the art exhibit? And I'm gonna, I would be asking
this question. It is douchebag that was on MSNBC that you
played earlier? How does his art exhibit as provocation any
different than the recently protected flag burning? That
seems like more of a provocation than anything? Well, you're
burning the flag, which is going to annoy somebody, and they're
going to come after you
for the same reason that was that freeze for the same reason
that Life of Brian was okay. For the same reason that Book of
Mormon is okay. Because these religions don't jump up and down
and start shooting people. And of course, you know, that these
other people do. So you should know better, I guess is what it
is. It's completely backwards. By the way. Norway has ended
their blasphemy laws. They had blast them. They had them. Yeah.
Yeah. And now they've scrapped that. to Now you can do whatever
you want.
Back. There should be no blasphemy laws in a modern
society. A lot of
Europe has a lot of these things on the books. I think that's you
know, you can't you probably couldn't do any of this now in
many European states. Oh, yeah. Okay, so all I'm saying is,
let's keep our eye on it. And remember, i we i have a pretty
you know, I have a feeling about this whole event being set up to
prove a point. Now, you can say it proves a point that crazies
come out of the woodworks or you can say, Here you go. This is
what we're now going to prove. You cannot do this. It is not
protected under free speech. Just like douchebag Donald
Lawrence O'Donnell. He had a great segment on listening. All
right, no, no,
no, I'm gonna tell you something. I think you're
spending way too much time because you scolded me for this
some time back. You get addicted to watching MSNBC because your
jaw drops constantly. That's true. You got an idiot like
Sharpton who's one of their top guys.
I wasn't gonna play Sharpton. No, I'm
saying that just to show you the kind of audience that MSNBC has
Sharpton is like the second most watched
guy on there. Yeah. And the first most watched guys Rachel
Maddow, right. She's the first but it was okay. Here's Lawrence
O'Donnell explaining why the word thug is a racist word. Oh,
god. Yeah, this is fun. What would be
the first word of choice for a virulent racist to use on your
show about those people and know for certain that
those people Yeah, I know. Isn't that great?
Those people are racist pig
to use on your show about those people and know for certain that
he or she could get away with using that word. It would be
thought, you know, it would be thought what
kind of mind control is this guy trying to pull? This is why I
had the clip this John. I'm just sitting there. He's well, you
know, that
word would be thug. You know, you're listening to MSNBC. It's
like shooting fish in a barrel.
Yes, that's right. You know, it would be the word. If we
can watch these guys that much. Even Rachel, I can't stand that
smug up talk. thiaj does and African
Americans know it would be fun. So now you have to ask yourself
before you make your comments on national television, how many
millions of African Americans how many millions of African
American kids are you willing to allow to sustain suspect that
you might be racist. So this
is a reverse psychology now my head's spinning. So if I want to
make sure African American kids better known as the kids of
those people, Lauren's, but I don't want them to think I'm
racist, which is proof. If you are afraid of people thinking
you're racist, you're racist right there. Okay, that may be
too deep for Larry. So you don't want to use any word that could
make people think you're a racist?
How many? And here's what's so very nutty about this whole
thing. You don't need to use that word that creates that
suspicion. The word that so many people on television seems so
eager to use.
You want to hear him say that, you know, this
is the this is of sickness, I'm going to give a story, PC World
these, they have a bunch of these types of people. Very
politically correct. Liberals, I think, mostly lesbians. And so
the guy ran into an engineer Boeing who used to do some
writing for him. And he was we were talking about some of the
screw Enos that's going on in the publishing business with
some of these eight holes. And he told me the story about how
he had submitted some copy talking about some company this,
this and that, and he had and he used, he said, and then the
company representative did this and that, and it gives a copy
came back because they were checking with people and they
they changed the word representative to spokesperson
and he said, Why did you change the word representative, a
spokesperson, and the woman said, we don't use sexist
language at PC World. And he said, and in a good like
logically said, what, why is what's wrong with the word
representative as gender neutral? She says, the word
spokesperson makes it clear to the reader that we don't use
sexist language representative does not do that. That's the
kind of screw Enos. Yeah, that is permeate. And that's what you
just listen to that is the stupid kind of addled thinking.
That goes on in everywhere. All throughout the media. Yes.
I think it's more than that. I think there's many people who
think there's also insanity
involved or something.
I would be shocked. But yes, of course, there's insanity
involved. It's crazy. And is this only is this a one of those
depends on the context things where you can say thug in
different variations, or can you just not use the
way it's gone? I see that note the possible use of the word
thug without being called out. And I would suspect that if you
wrote it in today's one of these newspapers today, and you just
casually use it as the word thug, I would almost guarantee
as of today, that the editor would kick it back.
That's pretty sad. But But in that context, context, if it was
in the context of Baltimore, use the word thug. But if you just
use the word thug in general, for some other group of people
who are beating somebody purpose whatsoever, really,
let's listen to let's listen to a little compilation of Mr.
O'Donnell's work. Considering the use of the word thug,
and no one was more shocked at being a loser than poor Scott
Brown who ran a Senate campaign that was worthy of the thugs in
my Boston Neighborhood a generation ago. In Christie
world in January, that got him fired. But this a thug email
from Samsung saying he's playing in traffic made a big mistake. I
don't think O'Reilly wants to stop and frisk them. How many
times does O'Reilly have to see Mark Zuckerberg in a hoodie to
realize that the hoodie has become a completely culturally
economically neutral article of clothing that tells you
virtually nothing about the wearer? Except possibly where
the wearer went to school? But any thug can get his hands on a
hoodie with any school name on it.
I guess he didn't get the memo.
Okay, where did you get that?
We have producers.
Well, you did you add a little.
I added a little sting to it. Yeah,
you've put a little you reduce it. I'll give you a clip of the
day.
I won't take it. No, it has to it has to balance out with my,
my huge.
Okay, well, then you're back to neutral. My huge one like that.
You'll get it. Okay.
You challenge me. All right. You're ready. You've challenged
me now. Yeah, this is Senator now Cory Booker. Cory Booker.
Now Senator, and man, you know, Cory is a big tweeter. He's a
real big tweeter. He's tweeting all day at some say he became a
Senator partially because of his tweet harness and his social
media expertise. So they're up there on the Hill talking about
stuff. And what do you think he's like, hold on a second, we
suck at social media on this.
There are easy tactics. I know them, as you said, from
politics, how to get more voice and virality to messaging that
we're not using as a government to get counter messages out
there you have, you know, I know something about memes, the data
that you're presenting about Muslims killing Muslims, and
this is a group that's killing more Muslims to get memes to go
more viral.
Just to review, we're sucking. But we need to fight ISIS. We
need more memes to go viral. That way, we'll have to stop
ISIS
or fancy memes compared to what we're not doing. Or
there's an obvious piece of legislation that we need to
start working out of our direct staff. But let's face it, we
invented the internet. We invented the social network
sites, we've got Hollywood we get got the capabilities, as Mr.
Shaikh was saying to blow these guys out of the water from the
standpoint of communication, so we need to work on that we need
to work on that quickly.
Mary McCoy Cory Booker,
wow. This is like the AZKALS would go into a company and say
that you hire you're you're hiring somebody. Okay, well,
here's what I want you to do. I want you to make some viral
videos for a couple million hits.
Do you have any idea if I had a company that could screw it? We
should just register an LLC and go for it. Yeah, we know how to
make viral viral videos for you. We're we'll get right on that.
And of course the the sad part about it is the all this ISIS
and we're already doing it. That's Hillary Clinton State
Department experts.
Radical weeks I do a clip from NCIS which is about this
guys know how to do it. We got Hollywood How come we're not
doing this, uh, Cory Booker aren't doing
it. Mostly to publish to propagandize the public. The
United States public? We're doing it? Yes. And we're
probably doing it over there too. Or we got these little
fliers which I've never scanned in which I still have sitting
here that they've thrown out the back of an airplane that say
something. I don't know what. Because I'm lax. We need we're
doing it. We're just all we do.
We we need more means better means to go viral. We do. Your
senator from the great state of New Jersey, Cory Booker,
Massachusetts.
Oh, is he from now? He's got to be from New Jersey. He was in
Newark.
What am I thinking then? I think enough.
I'm going to show my school by donate to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun.
vinnova is the mayor of Newark when I'm thinking about somebody
else.
Now he he's a big Twitter guy. He saved Newark with Twitter.
Oh, we're all I remember this guy now. Yeah, he's a Twitter
guy. Your writer
guy. He's the senator from the land of Twitter. Don't Twitter.
He's better memes, more memes. More memes. We do have we need
more donors? We do. We have 15 And here they are. Anonymous
12346 I think No, maybe not. And thanks for providing T BTBPC itu
the best podcast in the universe. Karma for up coming

Coming in at the end Dame Astrid, the Duchess of Japan,
and what does she say here?
She's been sending a couple of notes. She's been doing some
stuff she'd liked in the newsletter would have the ad
play, which we should probably perform. We could do that.

then you kept on going?
No, no, because you had that tone in your voice.
Happy Mother's Don't take that tone with me young man.
Exactly. The cool moms out there who have a healthy giggle at
directional energy weapon in my pants jokes.
I thought that was a clip but I guess it's something we said.

to you ASAP. And thank you all so much for supporting the work
here at the no agenda show.
Especially getting your mojo back let's play something to
bring it down. Eclipse co2 highest.
The global level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has
topped 400 parts per million for the longest time in recorded
history. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
says the grim milestone was reached on average for the
entire month of March, the 400 parts per million threshold has
been important marker and UN climate change negotiations
widely recognized as a dangerous level that could drastically
worsen human caused global warming. The environmentalist
group three fifty.org takes its name after the 350 parts per
million threshold that scientists say is the maximum
atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide for a safe
planet.
That's right, we're away over it. What are these guys gonna do
with their name?
Grim? They gotta change it. I wonder in fact that to recall
recorded all of recorded history of mankind, this is the highest
has been for a sustained period. Isn't that something? Historic
thing? Yes.
We should be celebrating
it since you're laughing. We're gonna get to move on with to
another clip you might enjoy. Oh, hold
on. Can we? Can we stick with global warming for a moment? Or
do you got global warming material? Yes, I do. I have some
material for you one big news from Down Under. Mr. App, I'm
sorry, Texas, no down under Mr. Abbott's chief business advisor
that will be a Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Mr. Abbott
Abbott his see what was this guy head? This guy's name is Mr.
Neumann. And he was his chief business adviser. He says
climate change is a United Nations hoax to end democracy.
Oh, he's taking it one step beyond anything anyone else has
done. Here it is. Well, don't wait
hold on a second. I'm gonna read some 2006 2000
When we're doing this show, where are we running into
material? They can't the early material that was kind of
indicating they wanted to set up global governance because of
climate change. First, we
have the climate change the club, the carbon exchange, and
that would be the monetary part. And then yes, global governance,
of course. Well, he puts it I guess he wrote a column which
was published in the Australian This is why and it's I liked it
this is no one has said that here yet like this. Under the
sidebar subheading. The international bodies real agenda
is a new world order under its control. Mr. Newman wrote. This
is not about facts or logic. It's about a new world order
under the control of the United Nations. It's as it's opposed to
Capitalism and Freedom. It's about a new world order under
the control of the UN. It's a well kept secret 95% of the
climate models we are told proved the link between human
co2 emissions and catastrophic global warming have been found
after nearly two decades of temperature status to be an
error. Now this seems to me like it's so blatantly nutty and has
so many although true, of course, that it's just being put
out there just to make naysayers and people who question the
science sound nuttier?
Yeah, that's the idea. Yeah. No, that's exactly what this is. The
you nailed it. That's exactly what this is. But there was
another No, the editors are doing high five. Oh, yeah. Like,
can we use Can we change a couple of yet?
We've got the no agenda guys to talk about it. Yeah, it's great.
Good work. There was, however, from University of Bristol, a
nice paper that came out as published by Science Daily. And
it's a warning to people who are all in on the global warming,
manmade global warming climate change how climate science
denial affects the science community. This is very
interesting.
I get it already. That's yeah. What, let me guess. It's because
of the bogus vividness of this what these guys are up to with
the lies and the computer models and every end and cover ups the
claim again, all the rest of it, it makes it it makes it Then the
deniers come out with maybe some logic and say, Well wait a
minute, this doesn't make sense. And they get shouted down, the
whole atmosphere becomes anti science because the science
people are bullies, they're thugs.
I'll read from this article, climate change denial in public.
And this is a, like one of those official papers, because it
comes from the university. So I guess it's been means something.
climate change denial and public discourse may encourage climate
scientists to over emphasize the scientific uncertainty. It is
also affecting how they themselves speak, and perhaps
even think about their own research. This is the study from
the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom. So what this is
saying, is that because they're and they have a couple of terms
for this, which I'm going to find here. Because of this,
scientists are putting a lot of wiggle room into the IPCC report
where they have somewhat likely likely extremely likely, boy,
we're so sure it's likely but not kind of likely. Yep. Which
is because it's not really scientifically proven. It's only
a model predicting cycles in
Korea is the wrong but
I love that it's gotten to the point where the study says
climate scientists might even start thinking that their
research is incorrect. And much and according to the study,
multiple lines of evidence indicate that global warming
continues unabated, which implies that talk of a pause or
a hiatus is misleading. So then they go into some explanation
about you know, well, this is not the first time it slowed
down, et cetera, et cetera. Why mine scientists be affected by
contrarian public discourse study argues that three
recognized psychological mechanisms are at work this is
you know, this is my favorite stuff. One is the stereotype
threat. Have you ever heard of these? No, no. Stereotype threat
refers to the emotional and behavior responses when a person
is reminded of an adverse stereotype against a group to
which they belong. Thus, when scientists are stereotyped as
alarmists, a predicted response would be for them to try to
avoid seeming alarmist by downplaying the degree of the
threat. Oh, very bad, of course. See, this is a big problem
because of a whole climate science deniers, or let's just
say climate deniers, which this is what the President calls now
you deny climate. Because of that, the global warmist are
afraid to ring the alarm, which is very bad.
I haven't seen any evidence of this world. The
University of Bristol disagrees, then we have pluralistic
ignorance. Who the good is a good term pluralistic ignorance
describes the phenomenon which arises when a minority opinion
is given disproportionate prominence in public debate,
resulting in the majority of people incorrectly assuming
their opinion is marginalized. Wow, that's, that's rich. Thus a
public
you got to start over this is good.
pleura, Florida. pluralistic ignorance describes the
phenomenon which arises when a minority opinion is given
disproportionate prominence in public debate, resulting in the
majority of people incorrectly assuming their opinion is
marginalized. Wow, that's flipping it on its head. So
they're saying so many climate deniers are being given media
time that the clock the true climate scientists who are all
in and all right, feel marginalized? How about this
for how about turning that around? It's just the opposite.
The majority don't believe in any of this and they tended
climate. Warmest are getting lots of airtime. And they're
making the majority of people which are the ones are looking
at this logically. Feel like well, maybe I'm wrong. And
that's why these guys some of these guys bail out at the end,
you've seen these guys do it. They're all this bullshit is
bullshit. And they know okay, I'm in I'm in I'm in?
Well, the University of Bristol draws a different conclusion in
their study, thus, a public discourse that asserts that the
IPCC has exaggerated the threat of climate change, may cause
scientist who disagree to think their views are in the minority,
and they may therefore feel inhibited from speaking out in
public.
That's, that's what I said. Just Said, I
think that was what I think it's exactly the opposite of what you
just said.
No, no, I said that the majority of people are climate deniers,
and the and they get no airtime. And they start to lose faith in
their own beliefs. And they've because of the emphasis on the
other guys, okay, so getting the media I mean, he's, I mean, if
you listen to the media, I've never seen anybody that just in
fact, they have these guys. We've had clips of these guys
saying, Well, we have to have more, more Experts in the news
all news media should be twisted. So whatever the story
is, is because of climate change, remember Yes.
And then the final one is the third person effect. Research
shows that people generally believe that persuasive
communications exert a stronger effect on others than on
themselves. This is known as the Third Person effect. However, in
actual fact, people tend to be more affected by persuasive
messages than they think, Oh, this suggests the scientific
community may be susceptible to arguments against climate
change, even when they know them to be false. Oh, bad scientists
bad science. Bad Bad, bad, bad.
The sciences,
science, but there's more.
Doesn't the line know them to be false? Kind of like twisted?
Well, this may be a way to back out like people. Oh, I've got
I've got third person problems. was the other one. I liked the
other one better. What
was a realistic ignorance?
I'm sorry. I'm just filled with pluralistic ignorance today on
PEI. Ah, but wait, as you know, here in Austin, Texas. One of
the things that has never advertised when you come to the
the great state the great Lone Star state you come to the
fabulously hip town of Austin, Texas. What do they never tell
you about?
The weather? The allergies? Oh, yeah.
Natalie Azar joins us right now to talk about this pollen
tsunami sounds like we made it up. But columns
tsunami, there's your show title Hollins tsunami.
Tommy sounds like we made it up. But this is real. It's a
terrible, terrible allergy season. A couple of reasons. One
is that we've had a really late winter, so we're having a bunch
of different pollens converging on us at the same time right now
tree and grass. Another reason is climate change raises carbon
dioxide levels.
You got to just make climate change part of every argument.
And let me ask you this.
I don't want to give you a blow job because of climate change.
Yeah, we got it. We kind
of come up with a better one. Yeah, that's well, that's No,
I just ate bugs. No, that won't work. You don't kiss me. I just
ate bugs for climate change. No,
hurricanes. This came out said is ridiculous. How few since
Katrina
2000 451 Of the nine years now going on nine,
nine years of nothing. Yeah. And we're now if you're now there's
two things that come to mind. You had the one you'd like to
harp on, which was the commentary from these warmers
that oh, the kids in England we'll never get to see snow
again. Yes. Only the snow globe. Only the snow globe. And
meanwhile, it's been you know, it's those in snow. It snowed
more never a couple of these years. And then the other one
and you heard it I heard everyone listen to this show is
heard it Oh, my God is going to be decades of super storms and
hurricanes of level five number of whatever the Category Five,
Category Five, horrible hurricanes will be pounding as
in pounding us, and there hasn't been Jack.
Well, luckily, there's a sight point is the public say,
hey, no, shut up.
There also there is Luckily this is a super typhoon on its way to
I think the Philippines.
Oh, yeah. Well, that'll help happen before.
Yeah, it'll help.
Yeah, I guess they can maybe use that as well. You know, they're
over here. Now. I find it distressing.
But this, this study from the University of Bristol to me, I
don't know, the way they frame all this. I'm thinking that
they're people just they want to back out. And, and this is
either meant to help them ease them out, you know? Like I
couldn't take if Doug was marginalized by give off.
Although abundance, how many would give up on the money?
Because that's where it all is?
Well, the money's being cut out. I don't know if I have the clip.
Oh, oh, let
me guess. sequestration?
No, no, it's a I don't I don't think I took it. Let's see
charter school co2. I think I left it. But the clip was on
Democracy Now. And it was the new Republican you know, it's
always the Republicans fault. They're going to cut back a
bunch of the funding that oh, is this charter is from school when
is different? This I don't have the clip. Are they pulling a
bunch of funds from these these researchers that are just
spending all their money on you know, proving there's climate
change going on when there's proving nothing and just taking
the money? In fact is money thing is because that the
charter school thing is worth playing. This is the play this
charter schools. I'm going to stop this at some point because
it's on Democracy Now. There's now some antitrust Your school
thing going on and play this
where's this going on this anti charter school thing
on the left somewhere. I mean, really all over it on Democracy
Now play charter schools. long intro.
Well, with the Obama administration asking Congress
to increase funding for charter schools by almost 50%. We turn
to a major new report that claims charter schools are
already spending billions of dollars of federal money with
nearly no oversight, regulation or accountability, certainly
here in Texas. The report was released by the Center for Media
and Democracy and it's called new documents show how taxpayer
money is wasted by charter schools. According to the
report, the federal government has spent more than $3 billion
over the past two decades on the charter school industry. But
there is no comprehensive database showing how those funds
are spent and what results they produce.
A new report analyzes materials obtained from open records
requests regarding independent audits of how states interact
with charter schools and their authorizers. It concludes that
the anti regulatory environment around charter schools coupled
with their lack of financial transparency warrants a
moratorium rather than increased charter funding. Now, for more
we go to Denver, Colorado to Denver Open Media, where we're
joined by Lisa,
this is a lot of groups that I hear in this here. Did you look
up any of these groups like Denver Open Media and
okay, this is the problem with this. Yeah. I mean, I'm not a
big fan of charter schools. And I have reasons that are whatever
they are, this, this woman that's going to come on, and
she's going to yak for a while. And then there's a second clip,
which actually has her kind of being a little more concise.
She's from this, this, these are all Let's summarize by saying
she's also one of the members or founders of the stop the Koch
brothers series, something like that. And this and they bring
this up, I don't have the clip of it. But in there, they're
bitching about the Koch brothers again, as though they're behind
the whole thing, the whole charter scam, because it's a
bunch of money makers
when it's okay. Wow.
No, that kind of that kind of screws up? I mean, I think the
report is probably valid. I think they have some but what's
happened, it seems to me is that the liberals who have always
been kind of in never all in but kind of in on the charter school
idea if they can get their kids into. And then now it's because
the Koch brothers seem to be in on it. It's bad. It's bad.
And these guys are doing some good work. Actually. If you want
to get rid of something, just bring in Charles. Thank you,
Charles. In particular, hey, Charles, come on, man. Just sit
on the board here so people can get the fuck out of here. We can
end this. Yeah, more of the intro.
Yeah, you can play a little I'm interested. We're going to
Denver
graves, Executive Director of the Center for Media and
Democracy who should stop
right now. Because I see this question coming up and we take
it for granted. We need to we need to address what a charter
school is. This is not a this is a US term, a US phenomenon.
Maybe it's important to just explain what it is.
Okay. Let's go to the book of knowledge. Let's go to the book
of knowledge and get the official explanation.
Paraphrasing I'd say you can start a school anybody can start
a school, the government has money available for that for you
to run the school. And that's how the schools are created. And
they are, I believe, often profitable, if not ancillary,
ancillary POF profitable.
Charter School is a school that receives public funding, but
operates independently of the established public school system
in which it is located. So the school board has nothing to do
with these things. And they are set up by proposals in some way,
shape or form, and they send money that they asked the
government for money to let them go and
do whatever we discussed looking at this at one point, like maybe
six or seven years ago. Yeah. about setting up a school. A
charter school. Yeah,
does one dish is
another great idea we had.
Well, we have a lot of great ideas. There's a charter school
in Albany, that is in would I could only describe as a small
storefront that used to be a tennis racket stringing
operation. And it's like it just like to think it's got like two
desks. It's like, I don't know what they're up to. But it just
screwy anyway, charter schools are an example of alternative
education. These things
is this state money or federal money? Mostly federal, right?
Yeah,
I think but state two is both of them. They get money from every
which way. Minnesota there we go read some more. Minnesota wrote
the first charter school law in the United States in 1991. As a
2011. They now have 149 registered charter schools with
over 330 5000 students attending. The first of these
was bluffview Montessori School. Okay. Since then, 43 states and
the District of Columbia have approved the formation of
charter schools. So these are schools is outside the system
that are supposed to be better because they're privately run
and they're operated with, you know, as a private sector. It's
like a private school, but it's private school that gets
government money, the problem that these guys are having, and
this woman comes on, you don't have to play anymore. That's
okay. Go to the second clip, because it summarizes a little
better.
Well, Lisa, one of the things that your report highlights is
this, this black hole of accountability when it comes to
charter schools, that the federal government is not
holding the states responsible for the money it gives to the
states for charter schools, the states are not holding their own
charter authorizing agencies or even the individual charter
schools accountable. And and you conclude that it's this was not
by accident.
That's right. You know, one of the things we've seen over and
over again, are promises by the Department of Education, to do
more to hold charter schools accountable. But what you see on
the ground, based on the audits based on the Inspector General's
report is a real lack of controls, you basically have the
Department of Education's charter operation, sort of
encouraging the states to do more. Meanwhile, you have audits
that show that in many instances, the states have no
idea where the money was spent, once it went into the charter
school system. They don't know how many kids were really
served. They don't know what happened to assets that were
purchased through our tax dollars. And there's a recent
report last week from the Center for popular democracy that shows
through looking through federal and state criminal fraud
indictments. But there's been more than $200 million worth of
fraud in the charter school industry. And so this sort of
circumstance calls for much greater control much greater
restraint, rather than the 50% increase that the administration
has called for for charter school funding.
Here's here's what's worrisome in the great state of Texas 150
schools, charter schools are a member are part of the harmony
Schools Network. And we've discussed this, this is funded
by and run by Fidella Gulin. Right, the Turkish guy and
Turkish guy in Pennsylvania, he lives up on the hill under
protection, who is always fighting with Erdogan in Turkey,
and many of his schools in different parts of Europe I can
only speak to the ones in the Netherlands were accused of
being Madras is IE where kids go to be indoctrinated with Islam,
and surely memorize the Quran, memorize the Quran and sleep
there and stay there and then you but anyway, they kick those
out, they kick the schools out. But here in in Texas, they're
always trying to catch him on some brico sting and with the
FBI is always trying to get finances but nothing ever comes
out of it. We're really no one is looking at what these kids
are being taught. And tons of administrators here in in Texas
are going on these cool little freebie trips to Turkey. Hey,
you know, once you come take a look in Turkey, we'll have a
little conversation about the harmony schools I in Turkey. And
they're all in of course they all go friend of mine is doing a
documentary on this. That's why no.
Which would be good.
It won't change anything.
Well, it may be a change. Okay, well,
it'll just be good to go. Oh, no, be like the oh, now I know.
And then then nothing changes. Yeah, well, this goes on and on.
And the Koch brothers are blamed. And then the weird thing
if you heard this part of it that you just listened to they
kind of scold the Department of Education for being incompetent
Boneheads? Yeah, but because the Koch brothers and the
conservative, generally speaking, want to just dissolve
the Department of Education, because it's really pretty
useless. That's what the rationales are, what why are we
wasting our money on this, you know, the states can do all this
stuff. And but because the Koch brothers are part of that, all
of a sudden in this, I just don't have it. But they turn
around, even though they're bitching and moaning about these
charter schools to defend because they're liberals defend
the Department of Education, say how important it is. So the
thing falls apart. But it's interesting that there's an
attack going on. That's what I thought was right.
Well, there's also the KIPP charter schools. And I've
actually heard very good things about about the KIPP charter
schools. So this, this good and bad, the ones that Chicago with,
it's more interesting when you have 15 Public Schools taken
out, you put 15 charter schools in and it's all a pipeline into
Cisco Avenue office there, and they're not bashful about saying
it. And the more I think about it, the more sense it makes. I
mean, look, if we need robots, we need people to, you know, to
do maintenance on the drones and other autonomous vessels.
Yeah, well, that was we came up with that on the show showing
how it's a pipeline. Yeah, it's a complete pipeline to a pipe,
robotic, you know, drone like job where you can be replaced
eventually by a real robot instead of these human robots,
which are not quite as good.
And it's interesting to see how many people are so happy and
think it's so incredibly cool. That's kind It's a culture of
course, the the religion of technology, about the autonomous
trucks. And I some people even where I've made a joke on
Twitter about this and some people say, Well, you know,
things change when the horse and buggy drivers were out of work
with automobiles.
Yeah, but look at all the people if there's no more truck drivers
what? Why do you need a truck stop just have some, just some
rails the
cascade effect is great.
You don't need anyone with any food
or it was half our listeners.
That's right, you just killed off our audience. Truck drivers
are dead. And that's all that's all gone. But so much. Yeah, the
the what do you what did you call it? cascade effect cascade
effect, right? The cascade effect the unintended
consequences of cascading technology, technological
revolutions.
Because then we have this guy, a Kurzweil on this. He's a
complete maniac. And he's talking about everything. You
This is just a he was on news. Our
Is this because of his article about us living in the matrix.
Now I don't know what it was why I think it's more about his
article that we're all doomed. Just as the singularity crap,
we're all going to expand exponentially
the doubling power roughly every year. So look at the Genome
Project was a 15 year project halfway through the project
seven and a half years into it 1% had been completed. So some
people looked at and say, well, 1% we just barely got started. I
looked at and said 1%. Well, we're halfway through because 1%
is only seven doublings from 100%. And it doubled every year.
Seven years later was finished. So from one perspective where
early stage and artificial intelligence but exponential
started slowly and then they take off.
One such technology is the self driving car.
Yeah, this is a misleading argument of his
what exactly lost me a doubling. I didn't understand what he was
saying. He's claiming
that he for some reason projects the Moore's law, which reminds
me I gotta do another column on this Moore's law, we're the
number of transistors on a certain a square inch doubles
every 18 months, but he changed that to a year. And because of
the number of transistors double every 18 months or so, you end
up with this technological exponential growth. Yeah, all of
a sudden you got all these you know, items or face enter or
Facebook gets
faster. Yeah, it's faster, but Netflix loads faster,
everything's better, faster, cheaper, but this doesn't apply
to everything he gets likes as it applies to everything pretty
much. So when the Genome Project was gotten no real technology
aspect to it, except computer use use for analyzing the the
genetic structure. It went pretty quickly after the first
1% was done. According to him. I don't know that this is even
true. That he figured it was halfway there. So our long takes
to get the job. What he's claiming is whatever however
long it takes to get the 1% is like if it takes five years,
then in 10 years, you'll be at the 100% mark when when I would
throw back at him take a look at character recognition, or book
reading or handwriting recognition when we got to the
1% pretty quickly. Then we got to the 98% and then we haven't
moved an inch
Hey Siri,
Sky Siri. Hello Google. OK. OK, Google. OK, Google delete my
calendar. Alexa, turn on the lights. Oh, shoot. She actually
does that. Sorry.
Anyway, so they were just some dumb me while I was watching
you. There was a I saw there was an event with the just kind of
the usual suspects. I don't know why Eric Schmidt is reading so
many books. But he wrote another book on now. And he was being
interviewed at the end. I know you're a huge fan. A huge fan of
Melissa Meyer. How
well I like Marissa. I don't know about Melissa. I like
this. I meant Marissa even your clip says Melissa
obviously midlist I'm a big fan of Marissa Meyer. I think she is
fantastic. Company.
She's got this smokin high grip because you think she's kind of
hot. She's got this.
I like I'm a fan. I like what she does. I like what she says.
Yeah, no, no, just let me finish. So I want you to listen
to her sultry voice and she has a fascinating laugh.
No, no, no, don't do this to me. This is like fascinating. Any
No, no, no, this is that you'll appreciate. No, this is digital
castration. This is not fair.
And I was really grateful as I watched my career, and my
compliment of being funny flashed before my eyes that you
had a sense of humor in that moment. How important is a sense
of humor as an executive So that is how it works. In a real life
example, debate has been such an honor. So whether you applying
to work,
man, I could put my hand over her mouth. Come on. That's,
that's
that you'd appreciate it. Now you have a little you know,
but you know what this is? This is where you're okay? At least
we also laugh about Jeff Bezos is
laugh, very similar. It is,
which is the hallmark of a great CEO. A crazy ass laugh must be I
think so. I've been reading the European Commission's report.
It's now bubbling up to the top now that we have a couple things
behind us. The digital single market, we've discussed this
before. And the idea is, they have a huge website for all
kinds of smart papers and stuff. And they're talking about making
cross border commerce easier. So they're going to simplify the
VAT rules. Right now selling cross border within the EU, can
you have all these compliance issues? It is it is a nightmare.
But also they want to modernize copyright law to ensure the
right balance between creators and consumers interests. And
they also want to work with all stakeholders in stakeholders
stakeholders, yes. In removing illegal content from the
internet. Oh, yeah, we got to do that. Yeah. And so this is
always interesting to me is what exactly what exactly is legal
content, then a lot of it really revolves around copyright law,
of course, for Hollywood, etc. But when you see the most recent
case in the European Court of Justice, it's appears now that
linking to copyrighted material is also going to be deemed
infringing on someone's copyright.
Yeah, yes, exactly.
So somebody links to my column and PC Magazine. It was and I'm
all for this.
I mean, now for now, that's not exactly it's not. It's not
exactly how it works. Okay. If if someone had taken had copied
your column, and put it on WordPress, like, you know,
favorite columns at word wordpress.com. And then someone
links to the column there. Now, I don't see why that's a good
example, because it will be better for you know, pictures,
movies, songs, etc. That's an easy, it's easier to understand
the example of just linking to it will get you in legal trouble
is you're not this is a this is, well, this is
well, they're pushing it. But this I'm seeing this coming into
play as part of the digital single market along with
licensing. So if you actually want to do it, you will be a
journalist on Blogger license. So you're recognized everywhere
as a blogger. Meanwhile, you just got licensed to be a
blogger. All of these things are this is the this truly is the
boiling frog over there man in Europe.
Well, this isn't good. Now. Then we have expect I've said it
before. This is the we're living in the golden age of the
internet. We'll look back on this as well. Used to be able to
do everything you wanted to do. It was kind of cool. Daddy was a
granddad, where they let you could actually go download
things. Yes, you could. Yes, you could. And you can print
whatever you wanted, you could just set up, you could just set
up a website and put down any type whatever you wanted without
a license.
And you could Yes, yes, exactly. Well, another prediction coming
true, unfortunately, actually, it's a double whammy. We've
talked about these trackers in cars, and of course, also your
life trackers, your Fitbits and your slave jewelry from Apple,
etc. This will become first it'll be a good deal if if you
use it, because your insurance company will give you a break on
your premium that eventually will become the norm and you
will just be penalized if you don't have some form of tracking
on your body or to do that with cars right now. Right but check
this out. This is phase three of the meaningful use program. I
received this from Scott one of our producers, beholden to
physicians to prove they are using computers and collecting
and sharing health data with other health care providers and
patients and it must be 15% of their patients that they do this
for and this includes Fitbits etc. If they do not comply, they
will lose some of the Medicaid reimbursements what's Yes? Yeah
Hmm.
Medicaid or Medicare,
Medicaid
so that's gonna stop a second, which makes more sense it'd be
Medicare but if it's meant to be double check I'm reading and I'm
and I'll tell you why it would make more sense Medicare.
Right Medicare I'm sorry cut in Medicare payments for services
rendered. I'm sorry, you're right. I always get confused.
Maybe you should explain it to me. What's the difference?
Medicare is health insurance. Okay. And Medicaid is getting
paid is is welfare welfare. Okay.
So this would be Medicare payments. So that makes that
makes more sense.
didn't make sense because you guys can't afford a fit. I
agree.
I agree.
obligated obligated to collect data from at least 15% of their
patients or suffer a cut in Medicare payments for services
rendered. And this is the meaningful use program
Wow, well, that's interesting. And that means you what that
means of course 15% today Yeah.
Then there's that part of it. Yeah. But think about how smart
Apple is.
Oh, to jump in. Oh, yeah.
It may have jumped in prematurely.
I think this has to this has to be implemented but well upon
Soheil
apples.
Good work everybody. Heil. Heil. Yes. Very nice.
Ah, well, the Fitbit guys are where the smart money's gonna
be. I mean, people Apple do have their device but the Fitbit
which is cheap. They have been Costco really? It? Yeah. Is
where the money is. We'll see. Well, no, no, the Apple thing is
still up for up in the air.
I've the death knell of the company if you ask me.
Well, my thinking because I know Apple is a great short and I
don't want to give stock tips or any ideas to anybody. But my
thinking is always well, when's it gonna top Wednesday Apple,
you know, it's gonna go up and down. It's gonna go download,
right? It's gonna collapse, it's not going to collapse. My
thinking is when the first Apple store closes. That's when you
start looking at it. Right now they're still opening more. When
the first one closes. I don't mean like the one in Palo Alto
that close so they could build another one down the block like
Kyiv
Yeah, same thing Apple store key of
when? Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, okay. What else you got?
I didn't know I have a bunch of tech news things but really not
anything like super tech news, geeky stuff. Like I have some
geeky stuff you have tech news and we can do we can do
I don't have tech news. Okay, that let's just have me just
through a couple of these. I have a couple of things I get a
sexual assaults up or down. No, no,
no, no, no, I
don't want it does.
You wanna play Melissa Meyer again?
No, at the end of the show, I'll play it.
Okay, also I've got Nike BS This is good. This would crack me up
because you know they're trying to push down to everyone's
throat this I don't know why they keep in this TPP whatever
this Trans Pacific Partnership why they keeping everything is
secret. Do you have any clue on this?
Because it's not agreed to yet because they're still in
conversation. This isn't nothing has been agreed to?
Well, why can't it just be open for people to look at? What
differences? Well,
everyone has it? They keep leaking the draft documents.
It's not like it's just not a no,
no, I play the Nike BS and TPP.
Footwear giant Nike has announced it will create 10,000
jobs in the United States if the controversial Trans Pacific
Partnership trade deal or TPP is approved. The 12 nation pact
would encompass 40% of the global economy and is being
negotiated and secret. Critics say the deal would hurt workers
undermine regulations and expand corporate power. Nike says the
agreement would allow it to invest in us space production.
The announcement coincides with President Obama's visit today to
Nike Headquarters in Oregon.
Mom is all in on this and yes meeting with with Phil the guy
runs Nike and what how does this make any logical sense? The
Trans Pacific Partnership why would it make it so all of a
sudden out of the blue when he could never do it before night
the guy who runs the place can now open up shop here in the US
of A and hired 10,000 people well this slave labor I mean
doesn't make sense.
try and explain the pros and cons are very simple. This we
have we do not have a free trade agreement which means that
certain products I know candles, if you want to import candles
from Europe does some crazy or at least what 1.2 is 40% import
tax and
there's a lot of second Are you telling me that those candles
around your bath W using so many of Have you had to look into
this to find out that importing candles, you're going to import
them? Is that what it was? No,
no, I'm going back to 1989 when I when I when my first wife was
putting candles around the bathtub, and I said, Wow, that's
really expensive. And just yet candles are expensive here
versus Europe where they're very cheap. Then I said, Well, maybe
we should import candles for business until I found out that
there was huge import duties taxes on,
you may continue. Okay, thank
you. So there's all kinds of restrictions also, of course, on
petroleum products, all kinds of reasons to do this. But of
course, what your what what the naysayers the counterpart just
saying, Well, this is no good because then we will all have to
adhere to trade practices and employment laws. That will be
you know, slave like, because that's how we roll here. Yeah,
we got another but slaves. And I obviously this this is truly
what Abbott's buddy, they're saying, This is how you create
the new world order be a huge coming together of Europe or the
EU of the United States, Japan will will be in on it. You know,
so there's, there's two documents, obviously, you know,
the we have the TTIP in the TPP. But he once he gets the TSA, the
two of the fast track authority, TPA, whatever it's called, then
then the President go ahead and just and move forward with it. I
would like it to all move forward very quickly, please get
it over with rip the band aid off expose everybody so we can
see what's really going on. And then maybe people get pissed off
enough to do something about it. Ah,
not gonna get pissed off about anything. So I'm using the word
thug.
Exactly. All right, then I'll do my little by little tech bits.
Maybe not. Unintended Consequences of technology. You
know if we discuss that, that Google's or ways this and Google
as well, I presume that redirects traffic around
backstreets that now in Los Angeles, this is becoming a
problem people in the in the hills and other places where was
always quiet and now we've got cars rushing through their
streets during rush hour, and everyone's pissed off about it.
And they actually want to ask Google to you know, to change
the recommendation the recommended routes during
certain hours so that don't route it through people's
neighborhood. Please. US military, starting with Fort
cuatro, ah, that how you pronounce it, who have no idea
in Arizona? No longer will be teaching Morse code. Oh, well,
this is good. It'll become encrypted technology.
The as it gets, it's like speaking Navajo. Yeah.
And some other ham radio, ham radio Salat, has satellite
launch. That's a transponder with PSK 31. I'm actually kind
of excited
about that.
So I can communicate later. Yeah, I can communicate
digitally through this through the satellite. And anyone within
you know, within sight of the satellite can then receive it, I
think is what should be
half the half the hemisphere. Yeah.
I think it's kind of cool. Yeah,
I should get back on the stick.
You know, I've had my D star radio on almost every single day
on channel 33. Well, it's been months since I heard anyone on
there months. Nobody cares.
Well, I'll go on. I keep my D star in the car. Really? Just in
case of emergency. The question
is, do you have it in a Faraday bag?
No, I don't you should consider it a point you should consider.
I think I'll make my glove box a Faraday cage. That would work.
Producers worldwide. Please think of us at dvorak.org/na
and you know when you have those transponders for the bridge,
they follow you around all over the San Francisco apparently
just tracks you. You need a Faraday thing or aluminum foil
works you do.
Thursday we will be added once again. And you never know what
will discover Oh, yes. Very important. Today all the
Fletcher fest shouts are in the show notes. And on Thursday, we

is backed up. I don't know why I'm Johnson C Dvorak

Amen fist bump
Yeah, I can't. I was really grateful as I watched my career,
and my compliment of being funny flashed before my eyes, but you
had a sense of humor in that moment. How important is a sense
of humor as an executive? So ladies and gentlemen, that is
how Google works. In a real life example of inciting debate has
been such an honor so when are you applying to work? Amen. Fist
bump, adios mopho.org/n
