Do mac and cheese oh, let's get some mac and cheese. Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak.
Thursday, July 4 2013. Time for your Gitmo nation media
assassination episode five to seven. This is no agenda.
Celebrating 237 years of the Empire here the Travis heights
hideout in Austin Tejas, the capital of the drone Star State
in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley Way I want to wish everyone a
Merry day. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Levin Bushkill. A merry day I
got married. I realized right in the middle of of what I was
gonna say this is only a holiday in one place.
So go to Twitter right now and search and go into the little
search box billon and then search for 213 years old.
The ITT D r.com.
Doesn't autocomplete for you.
Two to 13 to
two No. 2013 years old.
All right, this bunch of that the key Yeah.
And tell me that you don't see a number of tweets of people
saying, Wow, Happy Birthday America. 2013 years?
Well, it's hard to believe America turns to one or 13 years
old today. 2013. Yeah. 2013. This is the state but if
somebody comes back with well, Britain's oldest tree, maybe up
to 5000 years.
This is the state of the Zamp we are living in World War Z. It's
not. It's all a metaphor for the world we're living in. I can't
believe that people actually are tweeting these things.
So marriage just like the whole thing is is a list of hundreds
of people. You can't believe America's already 202,013 years
old.
How sad is it? Yeah.
I think it's a joke mean but no,
it did not start off as a joke meme. This really started as
people seriously saying this.

I don't know what the hell was going on. I got like this huge
commercial all of a sudden for Where did that come from?
Tip is on my screen.
Oh my god. Oh, my
son stopped.
What was your last commercial?
It was Mazda.
Tell me. That was crazy. What the hell was that? It wasn't
on my side. I think it was coming from you. It was no no,
it could have been you're coming from me
know that. Oh my god. That was that was freaky. Well, anyway,
Happy Fourth of July, John. But let's just move on. Happy Fourth
of July. Oh, wait.
It's coming. And there it is. Again. What the advertisement?
Do you hear it?
Yeah. What No, I don't hear it. But it's just going to
apparently just going through the mixer right to you. When I
don't hear it now. Oh, then I'm hearing something but to it.
Okay. All right. So just
do you want you to just minimize that so you can I
know, it's not possible. This is what I'm telling you. This is
this is a disaster?
Can't you just minimize all of Skype or just put it in the
background?
Let me just see what happens when the next ad comes up. Okay,
here comes one for just gonna play these things just
incessantly while I'm trying to talk on Skype.
That was really weird. We just got like this really low. I
think it was coming through your channel. Like, I didn't have any
browser windows.
That went over what I'm talking about is that I get my Skype has
his playing ads at me. Like within the window of this
conversation. Yeah,
no, I understand. I understand what you're saying.
So I got I got my kazoo. Okay, I told you I had one. What about
Morsi? What do you think?
Well, I think a number of things. If you if you look at I
think it's a pretty big scale. Actually, if you look at Obama
being in Africa, and you look at what's going on with Snowden, it
appears to me that we have Russia and the China's
essentially teaming up just to embarrass Obama wherever they
can. And I'm pretty sure looking at the professional signs that
I've seen all these Egyptians walking around with him. The
Japanese they would always have this like American Yankee go
home you know, that had these these kind of weird weird signs
and slogans that were a Yankee go home and polish bright. So
you look at And I'm sure you've seen the nine, the 15 signs
you'll never see on mainstream media in the United States. And
there's like, you know, Obama your bitches is our leader. And
like all this, you know that he's the top war criminal, but
really kind of in a in a funky sense, you know that it's, it's
not it's clearly not written by the CIA and I'm thinking
that I'm totally convinced is not CIA. Oh, it's not it's it. I
think it's the Chinese and the Russians. I think it's the
Russians. Well, I think it's together, John, that they're
doing a joint you know, they've got a huge naval exercise
they're doing right now. Both the Russians and Chinese
warships have been route refueling in Cyprus in the in
the past few months. You know, it's this is clearly all about
the end game, I think is about Syria. Yeah, I agree. But to me,
it seems like it truly is, you know, we know that for,
for the listeners out there who use us as the news source, we
better play an overview to catch them up. And the best one I
recorded a bunch of I thought the PBS one with Margaret Warner
floating around the Middle East was the best. Okay, let
me see. I'm a little confused, actually. Is it now have we
decided to spell Morsi with a Y now instead of an eye? When did
the When did this happen?
That's a bit. That's the point of controversy. I think it's
code. I don't know what it means.
Okay, well, exactly. depends on whose team you're on. Is
that the deal? I'm guessing. Okay, let's go.
Egypt's first democratically elected leader has been
overthrown by the country's armed forces. President Mohamed
Morsi, has reportedly been moved to an undisclosed location.
Marcy's Twitter account quotes him saying he rejects what he
called a full coup. Robert Warner begins.
I love it. Well, all of a sudden, you know, Twitter
accounts, our news. It's official science. I know
unbelievable.
Cheers erupted from hundreds of 1000s celebrating in Tahrir
Square, as the commander of Egypt's Army announced President
Mohamed Morsi was no longer in power.
The Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court will
declare before the court the early presidential election,
where the justice of the Constitutional Court will run
the state's affairs unit in the interim period until the new
president is elected.
He also said the state's Islamic back Constitution would be
suspended pending review. It all happened after a tension filled
24 hours as a military imposed deadline neared for President
Morsi to respond to the demands of the people in the streets. In
a defiant speech to the nation last night Morsi vehemently
defended his position as the elected leader of the country.
US behind him Mr. Gay Yeah, we now have a reference we now have
to see with our own will and elected president a constitution
voted by the people and we are working according to this
legitimacy comes out the revolution of January 25 and the
achievement of its goals completely. The price tag for
protecting it is my life. My own life. I want to take care of all
of your lives.
When morning came, Egyptians awoke to reports that the
military had taken over the ALA rom newspaper and armored
vehicles surrounded the state television headquarters as
officers were stationed in corridors and the newsroom.
minutes before the military deadline passed more C's office
did release a statement backing a coalition government as a
means to resolve the conflict. But the last ditch effort was
largely ignored by opposition political, religious and youth
leaders who met instead with the military chiefs to plan a way
forward. And security officials reportedly imposed travel bans
on Morsi and his top allies.
And this is it's it's really interesting. The words are very
important. In this case, I heard Anderson Cooper last night
immediately he was like, oh, you know, can we call it a coup? Can
we call it a half coup? Don't call it a comeback? Because of
course if it's a coup, then you know, we can you know, send our
billions of dollars in military aid. And I saw Dempsey, the top
dog of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on a live interview on CNN.
Clearly they're clueless they have no idea what to do.
Right I thought the whole thing was hilarious.
You know when I love those laser pointers I think that looks so
smokin hot with the you get the aerial shots and they've got the
the green laser pointers flying everywhere.
Yeah, great. That's what we need
more laser pointers. And so
there was a fight. Did you get any of the videos of the
fireworks display? Yeah,
the whole thing was just incredibly amusing. It
was an interesting coincidence. We had the Fourth of July here,
you know, and then there's this Fourth of July looking fireworks
display which I think was a mockery. Well, here's here's the
code. These were not just mild. This was I guess this was a
step. This was a setup, right? Well, John,
John, this is where the code is, Who makes the best fireworks in
the universe? But the Chinese Thank you very much. It's this
total China operation. Well, they've
been, you know, they've been getting screwed over by us left
and right. And then the Russians are irked to no end. And now,
you know, Obama wants to talk to Putin anymore.
Well, did you see that? You see the thing that came out
yesterday. So imagine this Putin is sitting around, and he's a
he's, you know, hanging out with his boys. And believe me, I
think he hangs out with boys. And this thing is a little
little too. I'm using some new equipment here some also
regulating stuff while we're at it. So he's hanging out with his
boys. And he says, You know what we'll do why don't we have that
smokin hot Russian spy Anna Chapman will have her like,
write a love letter to Snowden in newspaper. That'll be
hilarious. Ah, did you see this? Yeah. Just going over, this is
going back and every single time Oh, we can go back to that joke.
Well, the guy this
call back, sir, this specialty.
This is fantastic. I'm really impressed with what they're
doing.
What I'm kind of still wondering about is how, you know, the
military in Egypt as a US operation. I mean, we're the
ones who trained all these guys, not one of them has not gone
through our schools in our country. Right. And they're
always on our side. I think what happened is the Russians being
the slicers that they are there, go over there. Hey, you know,
these Americans, you're, you're outside with the wrong group,
these guys are gonna screw you. So today, let that Morsi guy get
in there, he probably works for him, and they're screwing you
over. You're getting screwed over by your sponsors. You know,
those Americans can't be trusted. They can't be trusted,
you're going to have to do something you did before it's
too late.
So here's here's what I think how it kind of went down. So the
President goes to Africa. And then you know, and we know he's
going there to do some kind of, you know, get some started. But
when you hear his his speech at seem beyond energy, which I
don't know, if you saw this Symbian energy, it says there's
huge signs to the left and to the right of our president. And
the Symbian has little, little word on the placard, and then
there's a huge GE logo above it. So here's the president. I mean,
it's a great shot. This should be the picture of his
presidency, really, when you think about it, and he's got
left and right. He's got big GE logos. And here's what he said,
which I think was just when the Chinese went, Oh, yeah. Okay,
you know, what you want a muscle in our business will screw you.
We are here
to focus on one of the biggest hurdles to Africa's economic
development. The fact that nearly 70% of Africans lack
access to electricity. And that's why in my speech, in Cape
Town, I announced a major new initiative, power African Power
Africa to double access to electricity here in Africa. The
first step that we're going to take is to try to bring
electricity to 20 million homes and businesses. And this plant
represents the kind of public private partnership that we want
to replicate all across the continent. This facility was
idle. But the Tanzanian government under President
Kikwete, Jay's leadership, committed to making reforms in
the energy sector, with the support from the Millennium
Challenge Grant, General Electric, and Symbian, they got
it up and running again. More Tanzanians got electricity. So
Power Africa embraces this model, public and private
resources will be matched with projects led by African
countries that are taking the lead on reform. In this case,
African governments commit to energy reforms, the US is
committing some $7 billion in support. And private sector
companies have already committed more than $9 billion.
And this is exactly what is going on. This is the Chinese
game. As we come in, we're going to build power plants, we're
going to build roads, we're going to build schools are going
to build hospitals. The difference is the Chinese
probably actually do it. And we just you know, talk a big game
and
yeah, but the Chinese also had you know, the game that we
discussed this years ago, and well, should we reiterate it is
that the games the Chinese were playing before we realized what
was going on and we can't play this game because we don't. And
you'll see why when I explain it. You just obviously can't
play this game. The Chinese come in, they make a lot of promises.
They start building roads to get to wherever they want to get
they rebuild the towns. They do all these things. And they do it
with a blank check as to bring the equipment and gear and
cement and whatever they want to bring into builders their prod
projects, no questions asked. No Tara And in the process they
bring in all this crap to sell they bring in Chinese
restaurants nowadays they well that to they I'm sure and they
bring in all these days so they set up shop they put all these
little vendors out of business because they're they're selling
stuff without import tariffs and they dumped the stuff and we
don't have that at all we don't have anything to sell and we
don't need we don't even know that game that game was weird as
a Chinese thing. And all we're doing now is just freaking out
saying oh my god let's just throw a lot of money at this
instead of kind of do what the Chinese what it looks like the
Chinese are doing when that's not what they're doing
well, but we're also doing it with our with our aerial drone
support because we're droning people out of existence. You
know, let's let's remember when we saved Libya from their evil
dictator that everyone used to hang out with and had nice
little photo ops with when we save Libya from him, the first
people out of Libya were 50,000 Chinese This is every single
place that we go to save people from terrorism because they're
plotting to strike America. This is the first people out as the
Chinese are going to crap you those guys come I think they
really I think you're right, they got so fed up with it and
said, Okay, you know, we're going to show you there in
Africa with a little $7 billion with GE with the Millennium
Challenge Corporation. Have we even ever discussed this John
the Millennium Challenge Corporation.
I think we did some time back mcc.gov This
is just taxpayer money going to GE to give the give the Africans
electricity. Wow Langton electricity. This is crazy. It's
crazy. So they just they just went Screw you. And then we've
got Putin on the other hand, just making jokes and really
ridiculing not just of course, our president but the country,
all of us. In fact, you know, have you seen that latest
picture of him crouching? No. Oh my God.
Let me see if you can look it up in there. Putin crouching?
Maybe I'm see Putin. Probably. It's it's like, you know, this
is the guy you want as your president. You want this guy?
Let me see Putin crouching. Looking up on the on the book of
knowledge.
He had a big German and Aikido outfit. No, that's
not the one. It's funny though. Ya know, there's one there's a
new one and he has like his big guns and get our biceps sticking
out. You know, it's like, holy crap. I cannot find this one.
Well, it's around but yeah, this guy is he's macho, you know, and
you're you're
swimming. Butterfly. Of course. He is in the woods shirtless
with, with with a coalition to cough, hunting something.
Just remember that picture with a dead
Tiger.
Remember the picture of our president who was running around
the pool in his crocs with a water gun? Yeah, I mean, please.
This is this is not good. We are looking pretty silly.
Here he is with two dogs, a big giant St. Bernard and a husky
rolling around in the snow with the dogs.
Biting the dogs biting the dogs and then the dogs are hurt.
Alright, a lot of stuff here.
I have to play this. This clip. I had before a
great picture here of Putin in Eurasia foreign policy.com of
Putin and Obama doing a stare down. And Obama is just like
leaning over and threatening him and Putin is looking at him like
he's an idiot. Yeah, really? Like really? Great. Great, great
photo. Yeah. I mean, I'll save that. And
I think the on this day of our independence, we could not be
more isolated from from the entire universe. Everyone is
hating America right now. And, and of course, the worst thing
is to have the Chinese and the Russians, and this is some
serious. This is not even Cold War. This is lukewarm war. And
the funny thing is, nobody is reporting on it. No one is just
trolling.
This is so funny. I know. The first thing I thought when I saw
this, that, you know, we immediately because of all the
the meddling we did in the Middle East, you first thing you
think is some intelligence agency and think America and
then you start looking at it for five minutes. You say this is
that none of this is no scheme of ours? No. So who could it be?
It has to be the Russians. And then if you put them together
with the Chinese who are also irked, and the Russians of the
Chinese rarely work together on any level. Hold on a second. You
know, they
just did that huge quarter of a trillion dollar oil deal
together. So they are definitely in bed together.
And they're together now, which is dangerous for us. Yes. For
the three they just screwed up our Egypt.
Yeah, and it's only the largest Muslim country in the universe.
It's the one that we had, have had total control over for
decades. And then that Let's just walk right in, put up a
bunch of cool signs done.
Yeah, Indonesia is the largest, by the way, just for you.
Oh, really? Is that true? I didn't know Indonesia was large.
Okay.
So anyway, ya know, it's a big it's it's pretty funny. But it
also sends an interesting message to the, the other
Islamist want to be, which is the guy who's arrogant who is
the head of a turkey and they're subject to problems that may not
be caused by us.
What are you seeing as the as the possible next step for Egypt
because I'm already seeing everyone put the I'm seeing
mainstream and alternative news I'll say, but they're probably
just copying mainstream. I'm already seeing them say el
Baradei is going to be the guy and I can't believe that because
al Berra die. He's the guy that's in the International
Crisis Group, you know, educated in the US, it doesn't seem like
they're just pushing for this guy to be it. That doesn't make
any sense. Maybe they're
hoping, well, you know, right, you're gonna have an election,
right? So that's gonna be so the guy who's going to be the guy is
going to show up in the, during this election period where they
have a temporary government, right? And everybody be happy
for a while, and then they're going to let somebody in, it's
going to be, this is where we're going to have to go in there,
obviously, because we know, are we by this time, even though
everyone was subtle, I think by now we know what's going on. And
we and our people have to go in there and try to get somebody
elected. But the problem
is, is that they were really smart about this. And they
preempted it by the by really highlighting the American
ambassador. I forget her name for a second. But you know, this
is she's been one of the main poster children of this as well.
And they're the one that they're calling a horrible bitch and a
traitor, all this stuff. So so they're gonna have to we have to
put a new ambassador in I mean, the whole, the whole operation
is destroyed. We got USA ID remember they, they started with
throwing all of the NGO people in jail, rightly so by the way,
this is all these are all CIA or the other State Department
operations. And this is what we've been doing for decades.
And someone's finally calling finally calling us calling our
bluff. And what turns out now is this President, this
administration is not going to be the worst because they're
evil, just because they're idiotically stupid. They can't
even keep a good thing going.
Well, it's apparent that Putin is a little sharper on the draw
than Obama. Alright, I think Obama's two I don't think he's
he's connected. He's he's got all these stooges working for
him that are just a bunch of Yes, men and lackeys why he
doesn't have any smart people in their charm.
The guy has no experience. He was a one term senator in
Illinois, he bops through he does a great speech in the 2004
convention, and then he's president. This was a made man
of course, he has no experience. He's way out of his league way
out of his league. What? How would he even know what to do?
He I don't think he'd ever even been in Russia. He definitely
doesn't know what to do this. Again, I feel sad for Barack
Obama the human being because he's now in this horrible
position where everything's like Yeah, and you know, just read
your lines don't bump into the furniture everything's gonna be
great. You know, you can you just gonna be one awesome party
and, and then he gets his, you know, he gets all this crap and
his mother in law's living with him. I mean, Chase.
The mother in law think that you have you should I forgot about
that. You're right. That isn't that is just the worst, right?
Yeah, no, I mean, this is not a guy who has a strong male.
Here. Okay. Hey, Brock. Listen, man, we got some good news and
some bad news. The good news is you're going to live in the
White House. The bad news is, so was your mother in law.
And Valerie Jarrett, and trying to do a new book came out that
didn't try to do I don't think it's out yet. I know.
Apparently, some that the publisher accidentally shipped
it. Oh, no. So of all places where it showed up was at the
airport in Washington, DC.
Oh, How coincidental. Great PR campaign, great PR campaign.
So there everybody in DC is read it.
I want to play this clip of the President in Africa. He did a
town hall meeting. And you know, Miss Molly Wood was here for the
past couple of days. Well, Mickey was in in Europe, and she
was here. Were they back? She's coming back tonight. Thank you
for asking. And so Molly was here with her six year old son,
Eli, which was kind of fun. I got to practice being I guess a
granddad. I didn't know that Eli was Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, I had
it. I was prepared, man I had I had the slide. Whistle out
kazoo. Whoopee cushions, walkie talkies. You know the whole
deal. I am. I know how to do this.
Few of my listeners got that one. Go on.
Exactly. So I'm here. I'm here with with Miss Molly wood. You
know, she's Yeah, I would say she's not Obama bot, but you
know, she has potential potential to be a bot whenever
she's here, of course, you know, it's essentially deprogramming a
class for her. And I played this clip for her of the president at
this town hall in might have been Tanzania. And it is this is
a, this is a brain frying moment for anyone. But certainly, if
you are only just getting hit in the mouth,
Africa, we're going to all have to work together to find ways in
which, collectively, we reduce carbon. But we make sure that
there's some differentiation so that countries that are very
wealthy are expected to do more. And countries that are still
developing, you know, obviously, they shouldn't be resigned to
poverty simply because, you know, the West and Europe and
America got their first
this right, this right here, before we move any further, this
is agenda 21. This is the whole climate change thing. The whole
idea is we have to give up, you know, some of our stuff here in
the west, to give it over to the poor people with no electricity
in Africa, because you know, you've seen the pictures, they
got flies on their face, they're eating mush, you know, it's
horrible. We have to take care of bigots, but here comes the
kicker because yes, yes, the great hope from America is going
to bring you electricity, but there is a small catch African,
a little one.
That wouldn't be fair, but everybody is going to have to do
something. Everybody's going to have to make some important
choices here. And, you know, I expect that it's going to be
your generation that helps lead this because if we don't, it's
going to be your generation that suffers the most. Ultimately, if
you think about all the youth that everybody's mentioned here
in Africa, if everybody's raising living standards to the
point where everybody's got a car and everybody's got air
conditioning everybody's got a big house well the planet will
boil over
Oh, okay, hold on let me just get this straight. So Africans
you cannot have a car and a big house and air conditioning
because the same clip by the way, because the planet will
actually boil over it's good John we're like lobsters is
going to boil over we're all going to die is this guy a piece
of work or what you know, he can't they can't let them go off
script.
I know this was the stupidest thing I've heard for a long time
now it's it's the can't let you have cars and houses or
electricity or if refrigerated while over on you so don't
expect too much.
You know as you can dream, but not you can't really achieve you
know you can have
you can be sure the Chinese aren't saying
he's This is so dumb. It is like the dumbest thing I've ever
heard. Yeah, well, it's astounding and I'm ashamed. I'm
just on your on what should be a great day of celebration. I'm
just ashamed. I'm just ashamed of what is happening. It's sad
because I mean it's so transparent and the Africans
they're going there like we've seen their signs to get out
drone men go away we don't want you to take your Djibouti Assam
go we don't want your drones we don't want your crap you know at
least the Chinese have nice trinkets
Yeah, that's about right yeah, I don't think we're that welcome
in Africa it's not we're not doing a very good job of
promotion or anything and then they get any get snapped by
Mandela. That was the end
what was what was the snub it wasn't Mandela himself. It was
yeah, it was the family but then people surrounding but if
Mandela always we assume he's dead if he were alive he would
have probably done the same thing
yeah
you know you can't be the drone thing is getting on everyone's
nerves there's already been a an indictment in Malaysia I believe
for then there's a whole bunch of course RT again Russians is
another clue that they're out to you know, screw with him. If you
if you watch the network RT at you. There's all this sort of
thing play the Obama indictment report. Second to
tomorrow when Obama lands in South Africa lawyers have filed
for his arrest for genocide, the country that went through
apartheid to tack on ethnic groups clusters inferior
charges, the Obama administration is now doing the
exact same thing, indiscriminate confinement of Muslims without
charge and targeted attacks on Muslim civilian populations
around the globe.
I think it's time that the Obama administration hire the curry
Devorah consulting group you because you know it just give us
a channel give us MSNBC I mean I can't even read make Rachel
Maddow work for the cause anything better than what we're
doing right now. This is our tea guys. They're great. How what
how?
Here's what I'm I'm watching this stuff you're playing
another clip this is the bush prelude for the way this report
was set up is that Bush's non obvious war criminal? We got all
the goods on him. He can't travel anywhere. Go to
Switzerland, by the way recently, and no, and the Swiss
could not assure his safety.
So what does he get to do? Oh, paint houses in Africa? Okay.
Wow. So it's kind of a vacation.
Bush, prelude to Obama, which is another RT report by the same
character,
civilians who were targeted. US soldiers went house to house and
took them out and shot them. They shot families crossing the
river helicopters and snipers shot people. There were unknown
numbers, hundreds of people that were killed in collusion. Then
the fourth violation of the law is the prison camp that the
United States maintains at Guantanamo. Then the fifth
example of law breaking by the Bush administration was the
illegal spying program surveillance program is spying
on Americans conversations, and then a data mining program very
much like we've heard about lately from Edward Snowden. And
then finally, the refusal to fulfill the law, when Congress
would pass a law frequent George W. Bush would sign the law, and
then attach what we call a signing statement saying, Yes,
I'm signing this law. But I am only going to follow the parts
of it that I agree with.
Right signing statements.
Yeah, we haven't really talked much about signing statements.
No. But there you can look them up. People can look at my
there's a presidential there's one operation that that
documents these things pretty well, the the name of that
presidency, the American presidency project, and they
have they documented the thing came into its own during the
Clinton administration. And everybody just says this is
great. Although right apparently Reagan did signing statements
quite a
bit. And it hasn't Obama done one or threatened to do one. I
don't think he's really done any signing statements, housing.
Hundreds. Oh, really?
I thought he did zero signing statements.
No, I got here's one right here is did on February 7, nine,
march 11. March 30. Mark, May 20, June 2, June 24, June 24.
And the more interesting one is, is the date and to this day,
he's doing it. Well. That's
weird. That's not being reported on a snapping reported on at
all. How was that possible?
If you have amazing I don't know what's going on. If you look up
signing statements, you only find very little evidence that
anyone's documented the Obama ones. But Obama, the one that
got me as I was reading the assignments, the signing
statement on signing the supplemental appropriations act
in 2009. And there is a he has a little Zinger in here at the
end. His signing statements are interesting, because he says,
I'm signing this law. This is essentially what he's saying. He
doesn't say in so many words, but this is what he's saying.
I'm signing this law because I'm great. Okay, then he puts it. So
then he puts his fingers in, for example, on this one June
24 2009. I looked this one up. This is Obama's words. However,
provisions of this bill was in Section 1110 to 1112 of title
11. And sections 1403 and 1404 of title 14 would interfere with
my constitutional authority, which is the key words and sign
the executive has his constitutional authority, his
constitutional authority to conduct foreign relations by
directing the executive to take certain positions when
negotiations are determined and goes on. And I looked this up
very carefully. This was his mandate to continue to arrest
and incarcerate at Gitmo. So he's been on this Yeah, if you
really look into this doesn't that still has to do with Gitmo?
So he is saying that because apparently they're trying to get
get mode even though they're he's blaming everybody else for
wanting to keep Gitmo going. He's in this situation is saying
I want to get I want to have these powers to dudes foreign
relations to be able to grab somebody and throw him in the
Gitmo. I don't want to have that taken away from me. And that's
what this all says. And this was June 24 2009. This
is unbelievable. I'm just looking at the most recent
signing statement for the National Defense Authorization
Act for 2013. It's like four pages. I had no idea this wasn't
this one of the things he said he wouldn't do that he wouldn't
do signing statements or did I? Am I confusing that line or
saying line item vetoes? I didn't. This is never published.
I never hear about this.
Yeah. And they're all bad.
Yeah. Well,
eventually, like the signing statement says here's the law.
I'm going to sign it, but I'm not going to have For us it the
way it's written, I'm gonna do my own thing.
Not only that, but also like but you know, I'm, I'm kind of above
it I'm, you know, this is not the way it should be everyone's
stupid. That's what I'm reading here just in reading one page or
one one paragraph of this stuff.
Right? It's very verbose. This is actually now on your radar,
which means this symbol I'm giving it to you, because this
is executive orders. This is
the kind of stuff I love. On a higher end. This Yeah, this is
the this is the executive order behind the executive order. I
can't I can't believe that I haven't that I haven't seen all
of this. Yeah.
Yes. Because apparently you were under the false impression that
he wasn't gonna pull this crap.
I thought that was one of his promises. Maybe. Maybe I'm
confusing with line on
any promises. How can you keep track of these things?
I just don't want to take off my shoes.
So anyway, so our T go, Dave. So RT gave us a little tip there,
which I appreciate. So they go on and they start ragging on
Obama about because he's first aid, they outline Bush being the
horrible person that he is. And then the next thing to do get
this is a form of propaganda. Of course, the Russians are really
good at it is the first to create this horrible person,
George Bush, who can't leave the country, and probably doesn't
care too, by the way, can't leave the country. And then you
associate him with Obama. So anyone who was a bush hater,
because where's the Impeach Obama bumper stickers that were
all over the place with impeach bush to play our T regs on Obama
just straight up one. What people don't realize is that
there's been a war for four years, they fought a war down
through Sudan and Ethiopia and into Somalia.
Who's this? This Clooney?
No, this is no it's not. Sounds like. And then they tell us in
the news, that there's been a terrible drought. And 250,000
people have died, when in fact, what had happened is that all
the food supply and all the water supply was basically wiped
out. And so they're left to die in the desert, because now
they're going in developing oil fields in this new country
created South Sudan. And and then when it comes to, to war
crimes using weapons of mass destruction, I mean, the
depleted uranium lined Hellfire missiles, and this is a fact.
They're fired from Predator and Reaper drones, they deliver at
least 10 kilograms of depleted uranium, which permanently
contaminates the target areas. So when you go back in there,
you're guaranteed if you spend too much time to get some form
of horrific cancer that will kill you between 10 and 15
years. That's how poisonous this stuff is. And we got a lot of
our soldiers around this stuff that are dying, but they don't
talk a lot about like the it's like it's like our generations
Agent Orange. I call them Obama the odious then you've also got
the secret killers by Obama. You've got the legal wars in
Libya and elsewhere. You've got the started the covert war in
Yemen and basically deposed another leader in that country.
Do you know what
they've done so well with this RT outfit is they've taken this
so What's the girl's name from Oakland? Are she from New
Jersey? Or where she's from? Oakland? Abby? Abby? Yeah, so
they take her and by the way she is I have I'm sorry to say she's
a moron. I mean, I've seen her speak on camera and off camera
and she and she has a hard time by the way walking and talking
at the same time you literally can see that
I'll bring this stuff I can find it I'll bring it for Sunday. I
still think I have it. Where she says some of the dumbest stuff I
have ever heard. She's on somebody's podcast.
Yes Yeah. I think you I think you think we had that clip but
we didn't play it or something. I think you told me about it and
play it but it's unbelievable. So she's she's you know sexy in
a I mean it's not not my type at all. But I can see where guys
like oh yeah and she's you know she's talking kind of little
scene is sultry kind of assault. Yeah. And she's you know, she's
like a little bit of Alex Jonesy without the seed sale you know
kind of all you had it kind of floats in between and they got
all these interesting characters so they bring it on Skype and so
there's enough there to make it look kind of like an alternative
news when really it's just pure propaganda
that's amazing. That's really amazing sorry not not That's it
No,
no no, it truly is amazing. He truly is and and then I look at
what we're doing and say wow pathetic we really have
absolutely no game Ed Schultz. Wow, let me just but because
ourselves off for that. Yeah, that's how pathetic it is. Or
Touray Oh, we got we got so some Touray and Don Lemon. I mean,
come on people. How are we ever going to win this war against
our own people? hire us hire us please.
ragging on Obama number two and it will be done with his little
this craziness.
Almost like let me just grab it here. Here we go.
And the comparative to the South African public is you didn't
condone it then Why must you allow it to happen on an
international basis now? And so this is a genocide, a torture of
perpetuated campaign against people of the Muslim faith. One
of the judges in the Pakistani high court judgment that we've
attached to our complaint, has declared the drone attacks to be
illegal, and has asked the UN to investigate it. He seems to want
to joke about the drone attacks he's recorded as having said at
one of his balls held in the US that if any persons had designs
on his daughters, he's got Predator drones.
But Boys Don't get any ideas. I have two words for you. Predator
drones. You will never see it coming.
You think I'm joking? Hey, hold on a second. They're taking our
material now.
Yeah, they are. This is this is not good. I think it's amazing.
I mean, interesting, the way they're trying to make it sound
as if he's at one of his balls,
Cavalier or whatever. You want to have as many balls
as many balls which makes it sound like he's partying. It is.
He got
Carole King at the White House last week. I mean, he's always
living it up and partying.
Yeah, so which is a good image for the opposition for the
Russians to portray. And because they're just nailing him now the
one I forgot there's one other one which is the one that roar
war crimes overview from Malaysia, which is talking about
all of this stuff put together and this is where they indicted
him.
The court said commanders were responsible for war crimes their
subordinates committed but the Chamber's suddenly backtracked.
The US felt they were getting too close to the round
commanders.
A Malaysian courts already found George W. Bush and his deputies
guilty of torture and war crimes at the trial Mahathir Mohamad,
Malaysia's ex premier heard from victims and witnesses and was
blunt.
These are basically murderers and they kill on a large scale.
The eight convicted John you reports he advised bush that
whole villages can be legally quote massacred. The dean of
Yale Law School called J five is infamous torture memo, the most
erroneous legal opinion he has ever read. The National Lawyers
Guild filed the complaint over William Haynes his
recommendations for so called stress positions and youth of
dogs against prisoners. Newsweek notes Richard Cheney's lawyer
David Addington penned a key memorandum that the Geneva
Convention doesn't apply to them. Alberto Gonzalez wrote
that the laws against torture or quote, obsolete and quaint the
Senate Armed Services Committee Reports Donald Rumsfeld approved
the quote, aggressive techniques used in Guantanamo and black
sites around the world. Richard Cheney told The Washington Times
he quote signed off on the so called enhanced interrogations.
I don't care what the international lawyers say, we're
going to kick that bush nose counterterrorism head Richard
Klug, the world's leading war crimes lawyer was on that
prosecution team Francis Boyles and President Milosevic to The
Hague in 2001.
These guys are good and they got a lot of outfits they've got
this you heard a quote in that article Washington Times Yeah,
this is a great name for publication by the way because
you think a Washington Post Washington writes Washington
Times and it's just it's propaganda it's a total
propaganda outfit it's
well they're deliberately putting pressure on the on these
guys by the way that clip before that. I thought that they're
going to try to do this this guy threw it in I don't know you may
have missed it. You probably heard it subliminally which is
he threw in this this this this what do we call Obama? Obama the
odious
Oh, I didn't hear that. What is odious mean? Exactly. You just
look it up. It's like the worst world's worst person to give
odious damage. They call it the odious
extremely unpleasant and repulsive synonyms, hateful,
obnoxious, detestable, loathsome and abominable Yeah, I think
that was somewhat I think
I think there's going to crop up Obama the odious it did I liked
that Obama pushing it though. It's pushing it did you hear
Russians or did you hear about this other trial there's through
there through being cool I don't know
this all out. Now. It's all at war and the crazy thing is not a
single not a single outfit is acknowledging it no one is
saying hey, man, you know, we're under attack.
Yeah, they're attacked by the Russians and the Chinese
together.
Did you hear about this about this other trial? Is this the
big one?
Now and before you go to that don't want to say why is our t
even on the American cables? I mean, doesn't you know why this
Do we have a channel over there? Will you see a CBC?
Yeah, I'm sure we have. I'm sure we have MSNBC over there, and
they're all laughing at Rachel Maddow. Ha ha, comrade. Look at
the Daisuke, rotten idiot. Maybe
the court hereby finds the defendants Adam Perry and John
C. Dvorak guilty of telling slaves the truth and are
sentenced to 72 hours and Piers Morgan. Court is now adjourned.
Do we have the best people in the universe producing our show
or what?
So, by the way, it was funny. I just had a Pavlovian reaction
because at the beginning, it starts. Right and you want and
every time I hear that I'm waiting to hear bullshit.
Bullshit,
interesting. Yeah. Interesting. In the morning to you, John C.
Dvorak
lay in the morning to you Adam curry in the morning. Dola ships
at sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water all
the days and nights out there.
And to our artists who are always working hard. We had an
unbelievable amount of art for the previous episode, you can
find all of no agenda art generator.com. And we thank RJ
Hegedus. Sir RJ, who? graciously, I think he provided
artwork for two shows in a row by some crazy coincidence of
genius artwork. It's just been very good. But Nick the rat, we
do love you. I can see Nick going like frickin Russia river.
ubese noobs coming to JJ kind of thinks the same. But Victor rat
for sure. Because he's the most active of our traditional
artists.
Martin JJ. It hasn't happened enough to him that he's put
stuff off and something else got chosen. He's pissed off yet. But
I can see Nick is Yeah, totally. Because, hey, man, I started
doing all that crap, man.
You know, that we had so much art sent in. And I think that
what happened was somebody in some artists forum. Oh, it said,
Hey, these guys are publishing and use it as a as a cheap
way to promote yourself.
That's just the only reason it would jump that much. From like
10 to 50.
That's possible on could be. Well do we have I'm sure we have
some producers that we can thank here today, John.
Yeah, we do. And it just as you say that it was just
the spreadsheet closed? Oh, no. We have. I'm not quite sure how
this happened. But I would like to profusely apologize to a
baron that test. Dane, Janice Kang. I went back and listened
to our last episode. And it was very interesting how you because
we have this, we both have identical spreadsheets. And
we're doing the the executive producers Associate Executive
producers. And we go for him. We literally talk about one and
skip right over her. And I don't know why. And I'm trying to
figure out what you're supposed to be my back. I know. And I
think it's because there were two days in a row or something
that was it was it was very, very weird. And I apologize. And
she had to put in $333.33, which I think was also the identical
number of the other executive producer who was on on Sunday
show. So I'm really really sorry. And I will read her note.

everything we do things in real time. So this sort of thing
happens well, why don't we do
things in real time? It's because we're we're we're not
why we do what we
do. That's what the show is is real time we're doing the show
on the fly we the show is not rehearsed. It's not you know
we're in we can't compete with the clips and all the rest and
so this is part of it. And we just get the things in late at

Yeah. Good to go
and put it on your LinkedIn. It's it's been proven a little
bit,
you know, and then leave out the details, which is very
Hollywood, like, you know,
but you put them in your LinkedIn profile. This is facts.
It has been known to attract people to your profile that Oh,
that's interesting. He wasn't a blitz. Yes, starlets, and coke
dealers will show up at your doors fantastic. You can always
go out and propagate our formula formula is this. We go out, we
hit people in the mouth.
I'm telling you, everyone's been busy for us here. Working very,
very hard on making sure we have everything we need to produce
the best podcast in the universe. And of course, we will
be thanking more people later on during our Thank you segments.
So where are we right now? Oh, yes. We were talking about. We
had that piece from Artie about the drones. And I was. I'm not
quite sure maybe if we listen to this together, maybe you can
tell me why this is happening. NBC aired an interview with a
drone operator, Did you by any chance happen to see this?
No, I think I saw a teaser for it. But I never did.
I don't understand why they would allow this guy, you know,
unless there's unless they're working for the Russians to
embarrass this administration. I think we should listen to it
together. Because it was shocking to hear what this guy
had to say
operate the camera. So like the camera, zoom in, zoom out, make
sure that everyone can see good pictures, make sure it's in
focus. Guide the laser shoot the spot tracker, how clear the
resolution? How clear are these images? It's pretty clear
depending on like atmospherics and how what your elevation is
that it can be pretty clear. We're just sitting there. Like,
okay, these guys are obviously bad guys. You know, the guy in
the back. Here's the sonic boom when it reaches him. And he runs
forward. We're actually told to get the two guys in front
worried about the guy in the back.
There's something there's a clue for us right there. When you
hear the sonic boom, it's too late. That means the Hellfire
has been shut. Did you know this that these things create a sonic
boom?
Yeah, well, it goes faster and speed of sound, they would make
a pop
while later followed wherever it goes. guy in the back runs
forward between the two and we strike all three of them. And
the guy that was running forward. When the smoke clears,
there's a crater there. He's missing his right leg. And I
watched this guy bleed out. And it's clear enough that I watched
him. He's grabbing his leg and he's rolling like I can almost
see the agony on this guy's face. And eventually, this guy
becomes the same color as the ground that he bled upon. And
so what is this? This is and this is what I was saying I was
blown away by this. This is on the air is disgusting. NBC News.
Oh, it gets better. You ready?
I go. You watch him die. Yeah. Yeah, it was.
Yeah. And I will say I know drone operators who were
involved woman involved in the business who have left the
business because this is has to be one of the worst jobs in the
world, you know, and they're civilians. They're not even in
the armed forces. They're civilians operating this how
people
makes them liable. You Yeah, well we've talked about that
there's that
drone strikes or like mortar attacks artillery. Well,
artillery doesn't see this a killer he doesn't see the result
of their their actions. It's really more intimate for us
because we see everything we see the before action, or before
action and then after. And so I watched this guy. I watched him
bleed out, I watched the result of I guess, collectively it was
our action, but ultimately, I'm the responsible one who got in
this limb. So when did you start feeling bad about this program?
And why? Why did it start to eat away at your because I lost that
respect for life. So you'd become an assassin. I'd become
heartless I'd become in it. And like, you felt like you were a
hitman now. Not Not necessarily. I just felt like sociopathic if
you want to say that I wanted to kill these people. These were
bad guys. He's I mean we had there a list of their
accomplishments underneath them but instead of being like, Man,
I like these guys need to die but I'm really sad that we have
to execute extreme measures. I was like, Man, I can't wait for
these guys today. When I left the third SOS they gave me a
sheet of paper. That said I had all my accomplishments on it and
they handed me this paper so of all the missions combined either
notice that the paper probably actually said accomplishments.
So he hates he hates the word but he'd said that in the way
that oh here's all your accomplishments directly
fired shots. Buddy lazes helped bombs dropped from aircraft that
I got it in insurgents raids people that are captured it was
16 126 Total people killed on every mission that I've ever
been on. How did you feel when you you saw that piece of paper
and written there 1626 Dead people disgusted with myself
actually
I couldn't believe this was on NBC
couldn't believe his on anything so Okay, so we got a couple
interesting things here one they keep pushing today they leading
the witness with it you felt like an assassin
man Exactly. A lot of leaving the witness Exactly. Trying
to get that out of him he never said that he just says he felt
like a netball but the one thing that I don't know if you notice
what he says first of all it starts off with we know he's a
bad guy. So we can kill him which is of course you know,
extra judicial. In other words, you're the court you're the
executioner remotely bull trap by the way. You don't know
anything about these people. You can't it's not impossible, but
then he mentioned the one thing he says and they use the word
accomplishments again, but this is the first time he says that
he says you when he was shooting as he knew because their
accomplishments were underneath them. Remember that line? Yeah.
That means on his heads up display what he's saying as far
as I can tell
when he was talking about seeing them on the display, I you know,
to me I got the visual of that being like a like a war of war.
War of World World of War whatever that game is World of
Warcraft. Yeah. Where you get someone's accomplishments when
you have them in your sights.
Well, I've never played World of Warcraft I can't
even pronounce it, let alone play it. But that's that was the
visual I got when I heard him say that.
Well, I got the visual that on the screen. There was like a
little thing underneath the guy that was tracking the guy with
his name and what he had done all these murders and his
accomplishments. Yeah, his which by the way, was not an
accomplishment. But when
the bad guys accomplishment or this guy's accomplishment,
both Okay. Accomplishment score, you mean
basically high score is what your say.
So what would know the point is I think is like your your gut
you're driving to dislike someone's got to explain this,
some drone pilot, but it sounds the way he's describing it. He's
got these guys in his sight. And underneath them the little
little thing comes up identifying them saying this is
Bill and he murdered an old lady. And this is Jim and he
murdered his son, and right underneath and there's a move
around because you can see it in real time the guy walk in and
the little thing underneath and moves with them. And they're
good to go once they're they're identified. Good to kill, right?
But but it's like this, this seems very sketchy. I don't care
how how pretty the picture is. It's still a video image from
from 15,000 feet or whatever those things
are at that's the other well, you know, I'm pretty sure that a
lot of the visuals are quite good. When you look at the some
of the technology of Gorgon stare and all this stuff,
I understand that then they got adaptive optics and they do all
these really cool things but you're still talking about a
desert environment with a lot of motion in the Air, there is
things moving because the air is unstable. And so it's I don't
see it being a really sharp image I see a seeing a wiggly
image.
Well, I think well, probably when they're teeing him up and
getting ready for the strike. That's when it may not be the
clearest. But after the strike, they can have their other their
I don't think they may have multiple drones doing multiple
things. Yeah, you know, and we'll find out because we know
people, they'll they'll let us know specifically about this
question. Because I know, people who have left the program
because their job was to go and retrieve images after the
strike. And could just was messed up. It's just stupid. You
know, like, Oh, here's someone else's accompanying this
guy didn't bring up the double tap. Which is,
well, this is only a piece of the interview. So I haven't seen
the entire thing. This was the only piece that I got. And so
there may be more to it. But now that I think about it, it sounds
more like this is a great propagandistic thing where?
Yeah, who? For the drone program, I think you're right,
you know, it was reinforcing the well, it's a bad guy. It's
clearly a bad guy, you know, so he's got to die. And you know,
but yeah, oh, yeah, sure. You know, I watched him bleed out.
And it's I don't know, I'm sure if we had to someone who knows
what they're talking about. And we really, really could analyze
this. There's a lot of programming in here that may or
may actually be positive.
Well, I think is disgusting.
Well, of course it is. But it's almost like, you know, like the
whole conversation now about Mr. Snowden, Edward J. Mr. Snowden
is about whether he's a traitor or not, and not about whether
we're being spied on by our own government. This is what you do
this, you just move that conversation over?
Yeah, well, that's what we do well, but does not helping us
when it comes to this. All of a sudden, the emergence of the
reemergence of a tepid war with Russia over some property that
they lay claim to Syria,
let's roll this out for a second. I have not heard this,
so it might suck.
Well, he sneaks around the world dodging drone stuff by Obama, he
was in NSA contractor, but he's pitched on all the plans. And if
you go online
and tune into no agenda, and no world is, Woodrow Snowden wasn't
too bad. Yeah,
it's a setup. It's a setup for the segment.
We're going to talk about Snowden for a minute.
I would like to because there's a couple of really strange
things happening. All right. I'm in okay. First of all, there's
the there is the the WikiLeaks statements that he released,
that immediately anyone who actually took the time to read
it, instead of just reading a blog that points to another blog
that says, hey, he posted something. There were some there
was the way it was written was very weird. And they have since
changed that. Oh, they changed it. Yeah. Because the language
said the United States have whereas any American says the
United States has and this is a very this is a linguistic
mistake that a lot of people picked up on immediately.
And of course, thinking this was written by someone not from the
United States.
Oh, no, most definitely not from the United States. And here
it may be Julian Assange. Oh, Harry,
here is his Mr. Snowdens puppetmaster. Because of course
we don't even this guy could be he could be one of those things.
One of those animatronics that they do. You know, what does
that out for that always makes those cool like the animated
videos whenever something never something, guys, Japan. Yeah,
those guys. I mean, we have no idea of Snowden is for real at
this point. We really don't know.
I like the picture of him sitting at the cafe, or wherever
it was reading these Zite that one?
No, no. Where's his girlfriend by the way? I mean, we've got
his dad his phone here. But why? Why isn't she being followed?
Why isn't why
isn't somebody jig chatter up on the CNBC? How exactly
you know, we got the camel toe pictures over you've got her on
the stripper pole. Can we not have her on television, please?
There were a lot of people who felt like the syntax and the
voice of that statement did not sound even like a native English
speaker. And I'm just curious when you read that statement,
what your reaction was to it.
I of course I'm being speculative here because I don't
actually know who wrote it or who influenced it. It seemed to
me like the core ideas were very much consistent with how I do
Word Snowden things but that it was sort of flavored with some
person who isn't Edward Snowden. If you, I think,
cover up much Glenn. It was flavored by someone else
really knows about him in terms of how he expresses himself is
the video, were a pointless made of my interviewing him. And he's
very mild mannered, very soft spoken, even though his ideas
are very emphatic. So the idea that he won't accept asylum in
Russia, if he's not allowed to continue to leak the idea that
he thinks that the US has being extremely unjust in its
treatment of him and in Prussia and other countries. Those are
all consistent with his philosophy, but I agree there
was sort of a virulent tone to it. That didn't strike me as his
own. Then again, he's in a pretty stressful situation. And
given that he seems to be in suspended animation and
suspended animation, there's another clue
was so here's a question for you. Do you really think he's at
that airport? No.
He's the guy. No, he's never not.
Why would he be there?
He was never even in Hong Kong. We don't even know if he was
there. As a guy Smash, we
don't know if he's in Alabama
or somewhere.
I will go with that. He was in Hong Kong. No, I
won't even go there. I won't even go there. He
was in Hong Kong. And then we went to the airport. And then
the Russians came in immediately says you're coming with us. No,
no, no, no, no, no, I'm not buying that. And I have huge
doubts about this whole Snowden thing. And if I see one more
picture of a street scene in Hong Kong, with a telescreen in
the background with a huge head of Snowden, which is obviously
photoshopped. This is this whole thing is one gigantic scam. The
whole thing is a scam. Did you read his note? He's like, No, it
was not lame. Oh,
I am a stateless person. No, you're not. That's. It's all a
lie. What he's saying is, is factually untrue. Your passport
being revoked does not mean you're a stateless person.
You know, as we've already shown, his passport really can't
be revoked. No,
the whole thing is bullcrap. I have another another little
interesting ditty I picked up here regarding how this all
works. I need to remind people that Snowden did not leak
anything. You know, he's not put anything on bit torrents. He's
not, you know, uploaded anything to a public website. He
apparently gave a PowerPoint to The Washington Post and to Glenn
Greenwald, while his, his buddy, the filmmaker who made it was
making a documentary, this whole thing is going to be a feature
film, you're all gonna go watch it, you got to pay 17 bucks to
go see it, whatever. He has not actually done anything himself.
He has given things. You know, if we believe it, you know, he
has given these these PowerPoints to Glenn, and on the
on the C spans. Bob Schieffer has his own little show. Have
you ever seen this? He has the Bob Schieffer School have
never seen this on
Thursday nights at eight o'clock. I don't know.
It's who knows when? Central six, seven.
Exactly. Six, seven. Exactly. So he has a little he hasn't he has
the Bob Schieffer School of Journalism thing. It's like some
foundation and it's on C span. And he has on Barton Gellman and
Barton Gellman, I guess has been around, he's written books. The
Washington Post apparently hired him specifically to report on
the Snowden affair which, right there is like hugely suspicious,
why couldn't they have their staff reporters do it? Why did
they have to bring in the special guy? And And just to
reiterate what we know, happened, as we heard from The
Guardian editors on Sunday show, they were on Charlie Rose, they
were saying, well, we got the document. And then we took that
to the State Department to the Defense Intelligence Agency. We
took it to the NSA, we took it to the CIA, we showed it to the
White House, and we said, Do you have any concerns? Is there any
national security concerns about publishing this? And they said,
No, not a problem at all. Not a problem, not not good to go go
ahead and publish it? Well, the same thing happened with the
post 30 might be damaged. But here's that's Bob Schieffer
saying, was there anything? Were you worried that the national
security might be damaged by publishing this with what you
publish?
Yeah, I did. I mean, over my career in journalism, having
covered a lot of national security stories, there have
been quite a few times when I saw a really hard balance to be
struck. And when I've had conversations with the
government, about their concerns, and we had those
conversations this time, and I'll tell you how I started the
first conversation. I said, I'm not going to hand you this
document that I have, but here's the date and title and author
and I know you can find it. And before we start talking, I just
want you to know that everything from slides 21 to 27. We're not
even thinking about Phelps.
That's talking about the risk. And this is this is the way you
presented it to the post. Kind of in that way or Well, yeah, I
mean, when I when I, when I came to the post, I had a similar
conversation, I said, you don't I mean, you're gonna make your
own decisions. Because I no longer work there full time I
did for 21 years, I came back to them on contract for the store.
So you'll make your own decisions about what you're
willing to publish. And you have started the conversation. This
is the part I would not myself be willing to publish.
This is This is Bob Schieffer being a total idiot and not
listening. He's thinking about what he's the double Martini
he's has lined up, because the guy
just said that. And I think this is what they've why this clip is
important. The guy just said, he's a contractor, who came in
specifically for this story, for some reason that he doesn't
explain it, of course, Schieffer, instead of jumping on
that and saying, Well, what do you Why were you picked to do
this story? And who picked
you? And the way I heard it is this guy had the document, he
went to the other to the government and said, Well, you
know, here's what I'm not going to publish. But here's the
document. I'm not going to do pages 21 through 47,
which, then you have to the question still needs to be
asked, no, but wait, but
then I think then he went to the post and he was hired. Well,
then
the question still needs to be asked, which is what I was gonna
say, where did he get the document? Yep. To begin with,
since he wasn't a reporter. I mean, he was in the past, and
now he's doing what we have to find whoever he's working for
now is the key to this. At this Schaffer ask him Oh, well, who
are you working for? Between when you used to be a reporter
and when you came to do this contract job? What were you
doing in the middle there? What was you How did you get this
document? Well, how does that work? He explained it to me. He
said that right.
No, he didn't. The whole rest of it was an hour long show was
incredibly boring about you know what?
Why wouldn't he ask? That's the first question you would ask.
She was a douche. No, he's
not. He's just I don't know what his problem it. Let's look.
Listen, listen.
No, no, he was not listening at all. Here's Barton Gellman from
the book of knowledge after 21 years on the staff of the
Washington Post. Government resigned in February 2010 to
concentrate on book and magazine writing now holds positions as
senior fellow at the Century foundation. There you go. That's
it. What's the century foundation? Let's
find out.
He's also contributing editor at large of Time Magazine. Well,
hello. What is what can we
didn't give the article? Well, hold on a second. How can we
didn't get the article to Time Magazine?
I don't know. Ah, I don't know. What can I ask you? This has
always bothered me. What significance does the in a title
does the at large mean? I've never understood this. Okay.
Can I be you have the means you don't have a specific beat?
Can I just say I am the podcaster at large? Yeah, you
can Hello Adam curry podcaster at large,
because it's just a bogus thing. It doesn't mean anything. It's
just bullcrap. Okay, thank
you. Well, I've always wondered because I am the editor at
large.
I was once when I was the editor of info world and I quit to just
write columns and go off and not do anything. I wanted to keep
the title there for a while I kept for about two years I was
my my favorites. I don't see too many people use these now. It's
used all the time. Consulting editor.
Right. Nice. Yeah. Nice one consulting god.
Oh, yeah. I was a consulting editor there for two years. What
did you do nothing. Okay, well, that was my job.
At time. Goldman's work has included cover stories on
extremists domestic militias, on FBI Director Robert Mueller. And
on the early influences in the life of Republican Party
presidential nominee Mitt Romney, he also writes times
counter spy blog on digital privacy and security.
Why didn't time get the story? I don't
know. He wasn't large enough. Now or what is the century
foundation let's
looking at it. It's like it's just a really vague foundation.
It looks like a front for something.
Of course it's going to be a front for Rails. But who is the
front for who else is?
I can't I just I'm trying to find it. I can't find anything
here. Oh, come out DC here it is
experts. Go to experts and staff and see who's in here. Looks
like in let's
Abramowitz foreign policy walks.
Hey, wait a minute. Where did I just I wouldn't I see. He's also
Abramowitz is also the head of the the international crisis
Institute. That's the Morsi thing you know the ElBaradei
thing. That's interesting. Hold on a second is the crisis This
isn't called the crisis Institute, the Crisis Group
crisis group here when we see board of directors, Crisis
Group, Martin executive committee, Morton Abramowitz on
the executive committee of the crisis group and here he is. He
is a senior fellow at the Century foundation. It's all of
this stuff, all of this, who is this Abramowitz? Who is this
guy?
Right. He's got to have some government background.
Let's see, what is he doing? Oh yeah, Department of State,
numerous positions and Department of State, also
serving as acting presidential, the International Crisis Group
of multinational non government or blah, blah, blah. Prior to
joining the Carnegie Endowment. In August 1991, who these guys
are all together, it was an ambassador to Turkey has also
served as Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and
Research, Intel state's ambassador to Israel and
balanced force reduction negotiations in Vienna.
What kind of bullcrap title is that United States Ambassador to
the mutual imbalanced force reduction negotiations in
Vienna. But ambassador to Thailand,
it sounds like a spook.
Most of them are of course. Wow. So this is what it is. So this
is this is. So you can't say that this journalist is an
independent journalist. He's not this guy is he's influenced?
Yeah, this
is an agency operation
is a total age and if he was spying, if he wrote a book or
was covering Muller then you've got to think he was CIA. Well,
let's
find out what the book about Mueller was. Last guy's name.
This is how we do it in real time ladies and gents how we do
it. This is how we
do in real time we do a better job than the network's which
have huge staffs
and money
and money and no money.
Actual dough actual money. Here we go. His name is Gelman, g l l
m n Barton Gellman and he's a Pulitzer Prize winning American
journalist, a blogger and best selling author and while you're
looking at that, let me see what else he's done. He wrote the C
book on Dick Cheney gallon broke important stories about the use
of intelligence leading to the war in Iraq including the first
public reporting on the secret of White House Iraq group. Okay,
so
this is an interesting guy.
Yeah, he's one of those guys that you know, it's substance.
I'm not gonna say that somebody else writes all this stuff for
him. But well, this is all this stuff is Washington insider
stuff. So you know, because you're a writer Barton Gellman
says Dick Cheney is a liar.
Oh, so the guy's a genius. Hmm. You got a crystal ball or
something? Oh, did you come up with that? Okay, John, you're a
writer. So you can say that I'll say it. Barton Gellman is a CIA
asset. And if he's not, if he's if he's writing any of these
stories, he's probably getting them handed to them by project
pundit or, or any of the other secret ops where they literally
just write it for these guys and just hand it over. And then so
it's like, no, he. So he gets the documents and you say, Okay,
why don't you go take this to the post? The thing is, the guy
is not photogenic you know, he doesn't have a story. There's
nothing behind it. And I don't know if they gave it to him for
what sounds like what from what we know. They gave the documents
to him first to expose, they didn't do anything with it. Or
the maybe the post for whatever reason delayed I
heard that to podium, as I've said over and over again to post
that on the story. Right? Because they didn't they had to
take it up a level and give it to all people to probably them.
I'm sure nobody likes him. He's when he's supposed to be a
personable person. But if they're hard to get to work with
his older that could be bullcrap, too, but they give it
the grunt Glenn Greenwald who? Who takes it you know, he knows
how to run with a story. I'm sure they'd love it if Glen Glen
who's been sitting essentially on every talk show in the world
giving himself as much publicity as he can. I'm sure they would
rather not him ever have anything to do with this? Hey,
salty hash fuck off.
What are you telling me? No, I'm
I'm talking to the chat room. Sorry.
But to get salty hash out of the chatroom kick him out.
Yeah, someone will now I said people say there you go Adam.
Just call them CIA be done with it. We're doing analysis in real
time.
I would say that it's considering the worry works now
and then this time magazine thing and and this story that he
has nobody else has somebody handed it to him on a silver
platter. Obviously. I wouldn't make the bike I don't see I can
make the argument against that comment.
Sorry, I know I haven't gotten irritated by the chat room in a
long time but it's just getting on Fourth of July we get weirdos
and I guess I don't know what's going on. But just just keep
them out. Yeah, but yeah, I think we've well new people who
come in they don't really they don't have the backstory we know
about all These COVID operations, you go look at the
church commission, where it was admitted that, you know, Time
Magazine has CIA's agents, writing and on the editorial
staff and then when it came to,
which has got to be a really easy to do gig because you don't
have to do much writing. God, it's like being a writer, I
could use a gig like that. That's what I'm thinking just
like being a writer and having this kind of like, do I want to
do my books, I used to use big fat books. They were all
everybody wrote about me. So they, you know, beef them up. So
at least has
a hold, hold it hold is it? You didn't write telecommunications
for DOS, if you
read the opening of the everybody had a chapter assigned
to them, and they wrote them and then I just went there and
plugged in my voice. But it's it's apparent, you can't write a
book. This book was 1200 pages. And it was produced in less than
a year. And I'm a columnist that has the right you know, routine.
I always wondered what he could do write a book nobody in their
right mind. Right. So you had your
your your head on the front cover going like he
a that by the way, that was never I never wanted my head on
the front cover. And it had an ever like my hand
and it had a gold star that said, instant bestseller.
I saw Yeah, that was fine. It was the head that bugged me who
made that decision was written by a team of people who made
that decision. Like that. And I didn't know
this I, of course, I've never actually read the book. I'm
like, I don't need to know about Terminator anyway,
you might have learned something. But it was written by
a team of people wishes big books are all written by teams
of people. And that's when you'd wonder wonder about some of
these guys who are full time journalists working at a
newspaper. And all of a sudden a huge book comes out. John
Markoff is working on a book right now New York Times science
writer, and he has to take a leave of absence. And the book
will be probably maybe 350 40 pages when he's done it. But
he'll work on it for a year. He's not working at the times
during the leave of absence. But these other guys, they're
working on day to day, and then they're cranking out a 800 page
book. You're telling me that it's not written by the CIA?
It's obvious it is.
Thank you for clarifying. You're absolutely right. I mean, this
is you gotta wonder how much is is actually written by by the
CIA. And people always think CIA, you know, the optional. I
heard a BBC, it was crazy. A BBC, what is it on NPR? It's
like, what the hell is your world? Some? I don't know. It's
like NPR for some reason is all BBC now I don't know when this
happened. Or when this was approved, or when this was okay
to do sleep. Maybe there's a whole bunch of Brits on and then
they have this Colin show. And they were five seat former CEO.
They're all consultants now, five former CIA agents. And they
will all talk about, oh, it's a lot of paperwork. Oh, it's not
what people think. I'm like, Oh, my God, I can't believe this
five of you on the phone. And that, that just analysts,
consultants, and they're writers this is it's all that it is.
Your entire world is run by the CIA, the CIA runs the United
States of America. And they are pissed off at the NSA, because
Kaiser Alexander has no gets to make his own crazy uniform. He's
got huge buildings and bunkers. And they they're impenetrable.
They've got anti tank measures outside. And it was time to tap
this guy down a little bit. That's what's going on here.
I'm totally convinced. That's correct. And by the way, before
I went on, off about my books, the big books I will say that it
would be cool to be one of these writers. Because you you have a
team of people working for you full time. It's like, you know,
some of the Dr. writers that can afford that. But most writers
can't afford to have a bunch of minions writing stuff for him.
It's just not possible. It's too expensive. But if you have a
bunch of guys doing it for free cheese, you get the salary you
get probably get an extra pension pavement from those
guys. Yeah, it's dynamite.
I mean, even they even gave Anwar al aulaqi hookers. I mean,
come on. You read about that? Yeah, it's funny. Yeah. It's
like, hey, why don't you come speak at the Pentagon? And, you
know, and we'll do a little luncheon thing. And oh, and by
the way, we have a special guest surprise for you tonight at the
hotel. I mean, it's so obvious job, Betty. It's so obvious
what's going on here. I mean, these generals are getting it.
The generals in the ag I gotta chill. They're
not useful. And I gotta read
this email. Hold on a second. Where is it? It's under. Well,
no, I thought I had here this. Justin, producer, Justin. In
fact, you know what, I'm gonna do it just because I can. Just
oops. That's the end. A Producer Justin says Adam, I love what
you guys are talking about on the show about the ridiculous
number of general officers in the military. Notice how you
address them as general officers. As a junior officer in
the army, I spend upwards of 20% of my personal pay on things
like pens, pencils, notebooks, and printer paper. So my
soldiers can function on a day to day basis. And I'm sure the
GEOS don't spend a lot of their personal pay just to keep their
job. Instead they roll around with their personal chauffeurs
and a government own and field vehicles. I get it perks come
with the job but we the military are also accountable to the
American public and the money they put into our pockets. And
they're alienating this is all alienating
yeah well let's put yourself in then in one of these guys
because a Dempsey you got all these perks? You got goodly, you
got a secretarial staff, you got a limo, you got a chopper
anyplace you want to get you
have a mount Do you have a motorcade a motorcade
you got a motorcade you got free trips to Europe, you whatever
you want. You don't have to spend a nickel of your own money
and then you take 185,000 They pay you or whatever it is, for
general. Yeah, probably more for the chief of staff than just
bank it but just walking around money and or you invest it in in
hot stocks that you're told to invest in, right? I mean,
there's a lot of these guys get filthy rich. And this is
investing in the stock market is a risky business. You can't be
hitting home runs left and right. Which brings us to
another thing that was brought up but
before before we do that, I just wanted to say one last thing
about this. You know, the Band of Brothers movie? Yeah, the
movie. Yeah, yeah. So that the 100 and first airborne I guess
it wasn't the 101st 506 division. These are the guys
that just like a TV show movie. They're the guys who got blown
up at the Forward Operating Base and Afghanistan you know, that
was in the in the Argo was that the Argo moving on.org in the in
the compromised Bin Laden movie. That one? Yeah, so right. Yeah,
we got bin Laden. Is that the name of it?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, there we got Bin Laden Obama's awesome
propaganda movie. Remember that one?
Yeah. Yeah, it was a good one.
This outfit it's the 506 Parachute Infantry Regiment
because of the sequestration and these guys have been around you
know what I think since the Civil War you know, the Normandy
these are the guys this is like if you want to have an awesome
like, if you want to call anyone a hero in the military, these
are the guys. Their units about to be chopped up. Just done.
Just go home. This because of this, everyone in the military
hates Obama. They hate him. i That's all I hear. They hate
him. They hate that all his generals are walking around, you
know, they got all the hookers in the in the and literally, and
then you know, and the guys that are kind of good. They've been
kicked out. They've been pushed out. They've been moved out. I'm
amazed. We don't have an Egypt situation here.
Well, we've done a pretty good job I think of right now. JKT
women public so they don't even know what we're talking about on
this show. For example, nobody's talking about we got to public
completely buffaloed
John, I'm watching I got CNN on the corner. I see live General
Dempsey singing the national anthem at a ballgame. Are you
kidding me? All right. Does
he gotta get a good good work Bob Dempsey.
I mean, you got guys sitting in in the in the sand right now.
waiting to get fired. And Dempsey is like singing the
national anthem.
Yeah, probably at the Boston game. Right took a special
flight to Boston we've special flight in flight especially
Yeah, be jumped in his jets his own
plane. No, it's not a challenge. It's a Gulfstream.
Okay, he's got a big Gulfstream, the G five, G five and he goes
up to Boston and they get then he gets a limo. entourage,
right. No, no,
no, no, hold on, hold on, back it up. his motorcade has already
flown in the night before.
Okay, so they're rested. They're
rested. They're good to go. So he's got his 24 motorcycles his
limo is there with the backup limo just in case that one
breaks and then he's going to land at national and then he
takes the helicopter to the to the to the pad where he can rest
up for a second and get his composure together. If you can't
do that, it's so have you ever tried to do your hair on a
Gulfstream? It sucks. It's just no good.
Why does Isn't he flying to Boston? to Hartford or whatever
it is? That's Atlanta. I think
I'm making it up now.
But anyway, yeah, no, but it's something like It's like that.
It's
really nice
to be at the ballgame watch a good game and then salute and
you know,
salute.
And then they probably because then we'll do a flyover since
he's there. Like a quarter of a million dollar.
General. I got an idea as we fly over this do a flyover on the
stadium. Yeah, good one. Wait a minute. Wait, wait. circle back.
I didn't get a picture. I'm sorry, this it's it. Is that
disgusting? It truly is that this very cavalier?
Yeah. And they don't care. They just throw it in your face into
public eats it up there. When do I bet you to get Dempsey at the
ballpark? He stands out in the audience, ladies and gentlemen.
And then they he stands up and he gives he gets a huge
standing. Oh, from the entire audience of the ballgame.
Exactly. Yeah.
It's gold. It's very much like
Hayden said Hayden, of course, was the Is he a general or an
admiral?
Yeah, he was Admiral. He was a Navy admiral, Admiral haymes,
head of the NSA, then it became head of the CIA. And now he's
trying to defend himself against international indict statements.
He was on, I think he was with Bob Schieffer. And he kind of
nails it. This is what we hear over and over again, from
everybody. And this is why the the title of our last show was
mad, because we are the United States of America like that. We
don't care. And he just reiterates how dumbed down we
become to all of this, like one
of the results of the Snowden leaks is that it's launched in a
national debate about the balance between privacy and
security. I'm convinced, the more the American people know
exactly what it is we are doing in this balance between privacy
and security. The more they know, the more comfortable they
will feel. So frankly, I think we ought to be doing a bit more
to explain what it is we're doing. Why and the very tight
safeguards under which we're operating.
You know, there's how comfortable you feel in John,
are you feeling comfortable with how everything's going is it
good for you? Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
I'm gonna show my son moved by Jonah to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
we do have a few people to thank for a good part of our donations
today. On July the fourth today, we're actually working in real
time. Anonymous from anonymous, or anonymous from actually from
Sweden, when nine 840 William Hague speech is now my ringtone.
Yeah, you missed his doublespeak. In our countries,
it exists to protect their our country's freedoms, most likely
referring to the intelligence.
Wait a minute, let me see if I get this. I'm not getting in our
countries. Well, should we listen to it? Yeah, I'm we're I
don't remember what it was called.
William Hague speech is now my ringtone. You missed it that was
big. In our countries it exists to protect there are countries
freedoms, most likely referring to the intelligence, sharing
country.
intelligence work takes place within a strong legal framework.
We operate under the rule of law and are accountable for it. In
southern countries secret intelligence is used to control
their people. In ours, it only exists to protect their
freedoms.
I don't think you got it right.
Now, I don't know. It's hard to say it's bad enough. It'll be
there'll be more to come from this clown. Yeah, well, thank
you very much anonymous in Sweden.
Christine Zachman in lost wages, Nevada $118. After listening to
John's theory on the 33 meme I saw during the local newscast as
they were showing the Boston feed of the manhunt name came
across a ticker at the bottom of the screen. Richard H. Donahue
33 shot during gun battle. I knew right away it was a CIA
setup. You look into this. You'll notice it didn't remove
the bullet so no one can prove friendly fire. Thanks for a
great show. Yeah, she's got some going back. Thank you,
Christine. Well, we got here we got Marie stone, Marie Stone,
who sent us a note. He's in Stowe, Vermont, and it says
thanks for the excellent shows. Isn't it's in cursive, by the
way. And by the way, you know you can't read cursive through
the through the envelope. And thanks for the tip about
Audacity. I have been looking for a way to bust Your bus, your
long mp3 is up into smaller pieces. It works great. In
exchange for the donation please send me some job karma. Okay,
we'll give you some job karma. Okay? You've got anyone who goes
to the trouble of sending a check and
expect some job karma.
Wilburn, Matthew Wilbur,
maybe maybe that should be one of our new policies. We read
your note if you send a check.
Yeah, it would be good. It assuming Yeah, well, is your
citizen I know though just one guy that uses constantly send
pay do a Pay Pal for one cent.
Yeah, no, we're not going to read your note for that. He
would keep
doing this. He did it and didn't did it now and we just stopped
paying attention because it always came through a zero
because PayPal takes the penny. So it's essentially stupidly
sending Pay Pal money. And then he stopped listening to the
show,
I will show those idiots he is a petty pin which you get nothing
wrong.
Ah, yeah, sure. It was amusing. He did it for like almost six
months.
I got one of the I got I just got a break. This was like, I
gotta I gotta read this to this made me like curious. Adam. I've
been listening to no agenda since the start of the year and
loving it. Thanks for an entertaining and informative
show. As a respecter of value for value funding model, I
figured that I owe you an explanation as to why I won't be
donating for the foreseeable future. living outside of the US
any money that I might send to the show would end up in the
broader American economy, where a portion will be taken by your
government and used to fund drone strikes, torture and
surveillance of people throughout the world. It's
really crappy the good guys like yourself and John, end up caught
in the middle of this, but I hope you can see why I can't in
all good conscience send money into the US doing so would
simply be proxy funding for your government's war on the rest of
the world. Sincerely, Patrick.
Well, let's hope that that logic doesn't play out. Right. I mean,
it's obvious isn't reasonable excuse Oui, oui. Whatever. Spit
in the bucket.
Speak for yourself.

And I would like to point out that Josh McDonald and I think
it caught up a couple people mentioned this, maybe on Twitter
where I saw it, just send us $50. And he said, Here's what
would have been my wiki pedia donation, right, since they're
acting shady, my regular subscription, of course will go
on. And I've also seen people say the same thing about
WikiLeaks that they want to give what they would have donated to
them, they want to hand it to us. And I would say you know,
for all of you who are going to be tricked into believing the
Electronic Frontier Foundation is good for you today is an icon
changer day. John, have you you know about this where they've
given you some code, you can put it on your on your Facebook, and
you'll be like we want into Independence Day, we want to
stop spying on us eff rocks. Rather, you might want to
consider supporting someone who's actually uncovering stuff
and not working for them. Whoever then may be Yeah, them
them.
Or Yeah, well, yeah. Especially if you're doing anything but
they're helping us you're you're contributing to one side or
another of this internecine kind of thing where these people are
battling with each other who knows what they're up to? We can
only get so far in our analysis without actually, you know, just
by looking at what's available to us. But there's something up.
I think we're getting further than most with our analysis.
Oh, no, we were way out there that nobody's even trying. They
don't talk about the Russians involvement in this in this
Egypt deal. They don't talk about Snowden as a, you know,
who knows what the hell he is. And all the stuff that we've
looked into about him. It's just, you know, but it's, I
think people appreciate this. The conversation they're
probably having, if they're having a conversation, most
people I was with a couple of guys having a beer the other
day, and they don't even have this conversation. And you bring
it up some of the you know, the stuff we've dug up with you. I
don't know what
doesn't make any sense. Set the stage. You were out with a
couple
of that interesting, I'd set the stage. If I had an interesting
thing. I just want to know who are these dudes you're hanging
out with? It was mark off from the times and Greg Zachary.
These a guy who's in Africa all the time who took our, our night
in Ghana and and he turned them against the show.
Yeah. And you were having a beer with him.
bugs me to no end. And there's also some and mark off is doing
a book. Like I said he took time off to study. And he's hired
both these get him and the Swedish journalist that was
there was a really nice guy. And he's hired the two of them to
help him on the book. And
how come you didn't get hired to work on the book?
Am I going to do I don't know. What's the book? I just ridicule
these books.
What's the book about?
It's about something about robots
you should have said said, Oh, yeah. Well, Adam and I are
working on a robot book to
eat believe that.
All right, please support us. So John doesn't have to go hang out
with dudes who are writing books about robots. That's, that's
really bad. Because I know you were trying to get a gig. That's
why you were there.
No, the one guy's taken off for Europe for some and we had to
say goodbye to them or something. I'm not I don't know
why it was I couldn't
get anything out of it. You could have stayed home only by
you and your conspiracies. Really swear to get out of
talking about anything.
I know. It's bad. It's people who you've known for years. And
then all the end it's and these are intelligence guys for them
to actually say, you and you conspiracy theories. I mean, do
they even hear with the bull crap coming out of their own pie
holes when they say that?
No. They're done.
Yeah, well, they got the cool robot book writing gig. Yeah,
well, I'm getting any of that. There you go. Thank you all so
very much for supporting the program as you can tell. It's
pretty much all we got going. And we like it. Yeah. Oh,
there's that well, no, but we like it that way. Because the
Nair a show goes by that at the end of the show, I don't say I
can't believe I get to do that. This
and we don't sell seeds. No.
No borak.org/and A whoops, wrong one. I meant to hit this one.
Here we go. Celebrating everybody. Rock Harvey says
Happy Birthday to his new human resource Elijah Anakin Glenn

Diplo congratulates himself. He is born on Independence Day,
Fourth of July and rice kami says Happy Birthday to good
friend Maher who turns 40 years old today Happy Birthday from
all your friends yet the best podcast in the universe. And no
nice things or anything like that. I will say if you're
looking for a way to contribute to the best podcast in the
universe. Lots of people do new things, you know, like so I got
some coupons or I am emptying out my PayPal account. Or if you
had listened to us, we had a hot stock tip. We told you about
noodles that it was going public. It opened at $18 A share
closed at $38.47
this bite the noodle boy. And no, but
I think we you actually said this is a hot stock. This is
going to be hot because it's depression food. It's noodles.
It's going to be great. And the title of the article that I was
reading about the was a Daily Beast here. How a pasta chain
called noodles and CO punked Wall Street. It's the hottest
IPO of the year and we told you about it. You could have gotten
in on that you could have bought I mean we did you buy anything
know that I bought anything? No.
But we can't sit around touting stocks and then buying
them no, but we do have people who buy stocks and bonds all the
time. And if they had listened to us, they would have made a
bundle that's doubling your money right there and you could
have
doubling your money in one day. That's right and supporting.
gonna continue to climb it moderately. But yes, depression
food, anything that comes out that's going to be like a mac
and cheese chain would kick but
I'm sure it's I'm sure it's in the works.
So I got a couple of things you were one of the things you say
you might want to look into. So you know the Austin kid in the
slammer.
Yeah. I'm on the fence about this story.
Okay, well, let's play the clips I have which is Austin kid in
the slammer. Zero, okay.
His mother says her son is on suicide watch and is in solitary
confinement after having been assaulted in jail. It's very
hopeless and very depressed and very scared. It's very hard to
hear your child. Hopeless. Alena Machado. CNN, Atlanta.
Elena. Thank you so much. I want to bring in Justin Carter's
Father Jack Carter. He's joining us from Austin this morning.
Jack, thank you so much for coming in. This is clearly
difficult for you and your family, especially your son.
First off, how is your son doing? We've told you do
we need to set this up? Because you know, I want
it okay. Yeah, yeah, I thought there would be a little setup in
there but there wasn't a you we can set it up. This kid had was
on Facebook or something and he just was gonna blow up a school.
He was playing a video game. And then someone said he was crazy.
He said yeah, and then he put on his Facebook he posted Yeah, I'm
crazy. I'm gonna go shoot up a school and kill a whole bunch of
kids. lol Just kidding.
Right so they bought
that's the story. I have not seen any right. The
story is weird. And also the LOL jk thing which was like, it was
beside the point. I know. He was just joking. It doesn't make a
difference. This is a pre crime nonsense, right? So if this is
the case, well, we don't know. But meanwhile they so they're
going after this kid and this woman that you just heard at the
end there is on CNN, she's a robot. And she is robotically
and clip number two. She's robotically asking questions. It
sounds very scripted. Everything sounds very scripted, including
the dad. Absolutely. Telling her wait, wait. And at one point, he
says something like, yeah, he's just an innocent kid. And then
she just under a breast says. Yeah, just
very se if you can even hear it. Absolutely. I definitely see the
need to investigate such claims, you know? Absolutely. But at
some point during the investigation, there has to be
some common sense. So what do you want people to know about
your son? More importantly, what do you want a judge to know
about your son? He's a good kid. He didn't mean it. It was a
joke, and any would never hurt anybody. He's got, you know,
younger siblings. And he's good with children. He would never
hurt anybody. Yeah, well, we'll be following this very closely.
Good luck to you and your family. Oh,
yeah, I'm trying to decide whether she said, yeah, no.
Yeah, no.
Yeah, that's what it sounded like. Yeah, right now,
that's creepy. Anyway, story is weird. You're right.
Well, the thing about the story is this apparently happened in
October.
Well, he's been in jail for five months. So yeah.
Okay. It's February, February. And it makes no sense to me the
jail. I mean, it's always being held on terrorism charges that
none of this makes sense. I don't have any documents. I
can't find court documents. He was supposed to have had a court
date on July 2. I can't I let's I had this has not been my main
focus of research. So when I say I can't, that means I'd looked
around. I poked around. I couldn't find it. Everyone, this
is one of the most emailed articles of the week. That's
crazy. They put their the putting kids in jail. It doesn't
I
take elbow personally, I don't even know if this kid is in
jail. I don't know anything about him. It looks to me as a
shut up slave moment as it makes make some kid who'd may not even
I mean, who knows? I mean, you can't find anything out about
it. make an example out of them to keep everybody just get
people to shut up. And in fact, that's why I think this clip,
which is a total Shut up moment, which is the Choc stories.
There's a couple of them out there. Why don't we never really
played up on Democracy Now because that audience is the
kind of audience that needs to know this. Yeah, just chalk
story. Can I play it? Yeah, play it.
A protester in California has been acquitted of all charges
after being tried for writing protest slogans on a sidewalk.
Jeff Olson faced up to 13 years in prison and $13,000 in fines
on misdemeanor vandalism charges after using washable chalk
outside three Bank of America branches in San Diego. Olsen's
messages included no thanks big banks, and shame on Bank of
America. He's accused of Bank of America executive Darrell
Freeman of pressuring Local prosecutors to go through with
the case. After the verdict. Olson urged supporters to
protest big banks by moving their money to local credit
unions. But
one way for them to send a message that will be heard and
that's to close your account at a big Wall Street bank and move
your money to a local nonprofit community credit union. If
you're mad about this, you think this wasn't fair what happened
to me? Close your Wall Street bank account?
Olsen's acquittal comes days after a similar arrest in
Pennsylvania health care in Pennsylvania health care
activist AJ Moran was detained for using chalk to write a
sidewalk slogan against Republican Governor Tom
Corbett's decision to reject federal funds for expanding
Medicare. Marin wrote, quote, Governor Corbett has health
insurance we should too. He's been charged with disorderly
conduct. Okay, I
was just gonna say I was about to get really angry. But then
finally she told me what the charge was disorderly conduct.
And that is a total Shut up slave. And may I point out that
while this chalk riding guy gets sentenced for riding chalk, you
probably didn't see on the news that HSBC, the bank that
laundered billions of dollars, billions of drug money dollars
from Mexico into the United States, probably in cahoots with
the government. no coincidence that James Comey our nominated
FBI director is on the board of HSBC. They no one goes to jail.
No one. They get a $1.92 billion. Fine, and it's all
good. Done. This is the insanity that we're living in.
Yeah, yeah. Get some kid who's writing chalk slogans shock.
With shock Jaws sidewalk, which is public thoroughfare seems to
be free speech if he asked me, but no, they arrest him and
they're gonna throw him in jail for 13 years.
You can't you can't throw him in jail for 13 years. That's
ridiculous.
And it's just a shut up slave mode. They weren't gonna find
him. You know, they weren't gonna throw him in jail, but
they threatened it. And it can happen to you, and all this sort
of thing. And meanwhile, these HBC guys who are criminals Yeah,
true, literal criminals. Yeah, you get a slap on the wrist.
Okay, here's a billion to a billion is there as the
government cut by the way,
not not, not just Yes, they're cut. It's the VIG and it's not
just that and oh, by the way, will make your guy head of the
FBI. Yeah, that makes it even How good is that? So that was
the stuff goes on. It's just in front of everybody. They just
thrown a face thrown in your face that was
PBS NPR had a fantastic Shut up slave Mullen, which I'd like to
share with you. This is Talk of the Nation and Talk of the
Nation whole idea, as you call it, and it's and people talk
about what what is the talk of the nation In this was who's the
guy that runs Talk of the Nation? What's the guy's name?
Who's on that show
the nation? Oh, the thing on NPR? Yeah,
it's on the national treasure. Well, here's the clip. This is
the most incredible literally shut up slave clip I have ever
heard or voices ring in our ear. So
tell us one more time. What's the Talk of the Nation?
800-989-8255 Email us talk at NPR dot o RG. You can also find
us on Twitter. That's AT T O tn. And let's
go by the way, Ken when are they going to start saying org
instead of dot O R G is that what memo? Are they have about
this? People too stupid to know what.org means?
John Hockenberry No way. Suarez Ira flat tau.
I think this is Ira. Yeah, maybe I was a chick. I don't know.
Here come so to Bob Bob, with us from Gainesville.
Thank you, Neil. I find that the Edward Snowden case, Neil,
certainly Tony Hawk of the nation. But the underlying
issues behind this are very much interesting to me and many
others. The idea as to whether or not what the government is
doing in poaching on our civil liberties and reading into our
phone lines, whatnot. Whether or not that is done in the name of
security is a very interesting discussion. I feel that we
should not trade our liberties for security. And of course, the
president for this was 911 then he might fear that we might have
another 911 attack. And 911 being the false flag attack that
was wood building seven being building 47 storeys tall that
fell in freefall speed in a matter of seconds was not hit by
any other airplane.
I certainly have a truther with us.
Yes. Well, I think that's a very derogatory term and perhaps on
your life derogatory,
because you're talking scientific nonsense. I have to
I'm sorry. I'm sorry to upgrade you. I am sorry to upgrade you
please. I try to listen with respect to callers except when
they have their facts flat. Wrong.
You think building seven is not a very telling incident, sir.
I think it fell for different reasons. And the scientific
community agrees with me. Well, more to the point. I agree with
them. What do I know about building seven? Well,
architects and engineers all are in consensus.
No, they are not. And I'm sorry. Yes. They're
called architects and engineers. Bob.
I'm hanging up on you because this is nonsense. Thank you.
Let's move right along. Wow.
That's doing your job.
I love the word abrade. I first I was like, I'm sorry to upgrade
you. I'm like, Yeah, upgrading him. You throwing them down to
economy class. A braid if you ever used this word. No, I've
never used that word. Do you know what it means? Okay, it's
gold. Well, I guess the definition I found was scrape or
were away by friction or erosion.
I think it means scroll. Scold.
Maybe I spelled it wrong. It's a br A D A braid,
I think is AI D try that.
Okay, that sounds like why would you say I'm sorry to scrape you
a braid okay to know to awake to arouse to stir. This is Oh,
okay. This is like I'm sorry. He that's the NPR version of
hitting you in the mouth.
I guess I'm sorry to await you know, when did you get this
because this. Apparently the show was just discontinued. I
don't know if someone sent on Thursday, June 27. That that was
the last day of this show. They killed the show.
Too many truthers calling in? We can't have that. I don't know. I
don't know when the show was from
this is like the truthers they called into when we heard it on
at least when to at least on C span when one of them you know
the one guy just hung up on the truth or in the book The woman
actually asked if this was a conspiracy thinking a little
outside the box and saying you there you'd been given somebody
tell you to call us we've been telling people to call these
shows forever for a long time. They never do it. One guy did
recently one guy made a call to an in local NPR but that was it.
Let me do one more a shut up slave moment because this is
taking place as we speak in Los Angeles, California. started
yesterday and continuing today. Here's local news coverage a
show of force from local public transit officers pay attention
to the words in this a show of force. Okay. This is a show of
force slaves part training drill part message to would be
troublemakers. Hey, I love this clip. cvcs coffins done this
morning is live at Union Station in downtown LA with the details
car.
Well, many people here who've seen that show up for us as well
as some of the more unusual resources like these behind us
here have come up to us asking us what's going on and officials
say that's part of their goal to get everyone thinking about the
southlands security
And what you're seeing you're seeing video of
sounds like a stereotype. Well,
toward the pudding, we're seeing the Oh, you're seeing army guys.
I mean, they're not around. They're they're police but
there's combat, fatigues helmets. M fours. Night Vision
Goggles.
Was this done at night? No, this
is during the day and they're at the Metro Station. Let me tell
you, the LA Metro 99% of people in Los Angeles don't even know
they have a subway system. I didn't know until visiting
recently. It Right. And it is a very good subway system
actually. So these guys are there. They're checking bags,
they're frightening people there. So they're standing
around in army fatigue combat fatigues with flak jackets and
backpacks and antennas and, and literally the night vision
goggles on top of the head and cameras off the side and just
complete military Mila militaristic gear,
explosive sniffing dogs that a huge visible and undercover
force have converged on Union Station.
But this is not a huge visible and undercover force.
An emergency response is an anti terrorism drill
we've seen amongst even law enforcement in our community and
complacency regarding potential terrorist activity from abroad
or even your home from domestic terrorists.
Sheriff division chief Ted Sexton says authorities started
planning for this drill in LA's mass transit system right after
the Boston Marathon bombings in part to exercise the security
lessons learned. But the high visibility drill dubbed
Operation independence will continue through July 4, a major
holiday. Yesterday federal authorities released a bulletin
saying the country is on heightened alert.
Anytime you have a holiday, it's something that you want to look
at you, you the Boston bombing took place on Patriots Day, the
Time Square incident took place on May Day.
I've completely missed that one. And so she's She sets it up by
saying July 4, it's a major holiday like, I'm sorry, really.
I was. I was unaware this was a major holiday. And then he's
coming back and saying Time Square happened on May Day.
Maybe he's not a major holiday. At all, crazy. So Jay,
significant dates are always a concern to us. G Sexton says
there are no credible threats to the LA area right now. And the
drills main purpose is for different agencies to work
together exercise and resources fly through that in this tunnel,
we can almost see like it's daytime officials also have to
remind the public of their anti-terrorism.
If you see something out of the ordinary behavior that looks out
of the ordinary, please call your local law enforcement
agency and report it, we all should do our part be a little
bit more vigilant.
And as already said, the other reason they chose the holiday
for this drill is because there's fewer people traveling
and using the metro system. So they say there will be less
disruption.
I just find this so abhorrent. Every every single meme is in
this package right down to the guy go abroad. It's good. You
know, we were rude. And the police chief saying we've become
complacent we're not reporting we're not ratting on each other.
There's not enough reports coming in or whatever it is.
This is so disgusting. Not this is not this is Nazism. Well,
fashions. Yeah, I call it Nazism, whatever. Tomato tomahto
advertising. So I just said the word so you've been saying
it all during the whole show. But he's I caught myself snarky
and just say so you say so. So. So it's like, I know it's
just a tiny Well, it's just a bad is a bad broadcasting habit.
It's just a make noise is no different than doing that I'm
gonna be writing myself. So you don't have to is no difference
between me doing that and people do it all it commonly especially
over the air. There's no dirt in that and being a Hummer. And
because hombres is just trying to make noise. I think.
But don't be so harsh on yourself, John. It's not that
bad is not horrible. But you're
so good be your dog. I could go down that road and start ringing
the bell. I can't continue this way here to build it this way.
Here we go. Again. Design dials gone. Yeah, that's right.
It's time for Diane Sawyer drunk or not drunk.
And this just in tonight and it's on healthcare, a surprising
delay to announce tonight and one of the most controversial
parts of the President's new health care reform. That
employer mandate which requires companies with 50 or more
workers to provide health insurance or face spot is
lovely. Starting next year, well tonight, a timeout thinks I'm
dialed.
I think we go to she's drunk again. But she's so damn cute
when she's drunk.
You know, she's like, 80 you know that. She's really old.
It's amazing. Just as good as she does
she is she does that work done it by the way. I'm going to I
think we need to change this. The vernacular, the vocabulary,
it's not she's tipsy. I think Diane doesn't really get drunk.
I think she gets tipsy.
Okay, I like it. I think she is more tipsy than drunk.
Yeah. That's so cute, though, because she's so pretty.
And she told us like she was like, super. She just was one of
these days. I think we've had some times in the past where she
is just hammered.
What's up with the health care? Health care? Oh, gosh, I gotta
tell you. I have been so annoyed by this by this Wendy Davis
thing and the overview heard you heard my bugging you to know why
you heard my rant, of course. I think I figured it out. And I
was like, oh my god, I can't believe I was so dense not to
see this. And actually, it hit me when Let me see that there
was another. There was another report. This is North Carolina
to be weird. But more breaking news tonight. This time out of
North Carolina. This evening in North Carolina, the Republican
majority in the legislature there made a surprise move
against abortion rights in that state. This came out of nowhere.
So at the last minute North Carolina Republicans jammed a
brand new, previously unseen set of anti abortion measures into
an existing bill, about Sharia law of all things of the
surprise amendments tonight include requirements that are
designed to shut down as many clinics as possible in North
Carolina, some advocate saying they would shut down all but one
clinic in North Carolina, they would force clinics to meet new
standards that are supposed to be impossible for them to meet.
Just like the restrictions, Republicans have already passed
in Ohio, and Mississippi and North Dakota and Wisconsin, the
ones they're trying to pass in Texas right now.
Okay. This is when the just bells went off in my head. And I
went and looked at this ledge. And of course, the Sharia law
thing is a red herring that's like, don't even pay attention
to that. And it is the exact same wording as Senate Bill five
that that was the big huge controversy here in Texas. And
it's about being within 30 minutes of a hospital it's you
know, the the doctor at the clinic has to have walk in
rights, you have to have to two meetings before the abortion all
and I have gone so deep into this rabbit hole. I even know
the insurance codes for ru 486. I mean, I've been all through
this and this. I just went oh Ding ding ding ding ding. Okay,
here's what's going on. And remember now that these protests
that took place here in in Austin, the capital of the drone
Star State, were people with they had coordinated T shirts,
they had coordinated signs, those are never the ones you
really see highlighted, you see that? Someone with a handwritten
sign? But if you really look, you see oh, wait, these are
professionally made signs. That is always a clue that this is
coming from somewhere. And the mean is that these are crazy
religious, Republican, eight holes, who are all it's all
about God and religion. And that's what they don't want. You
know, they're there. They don't want anyone to to kill babies.
And I can tell you one thing about a lot of these crazy
Republican, religious eight holes, there's one thing they
love more than God, and that's money. And this is when it hit
me. That the reason what is going on here is because of the
Hyde Amendment. Are you familiar with this, John, the Hyde
Amendment? Yeah, a little bit. But no, I'll just summarize
because people need to know, the Hyde Amendment came after the
landmark Supreme Court ruling Roe v. Wade Roe vs. Wade, in
which abortion was deemed illegal by our American
standards. Now, the Hyde Amendment was put into place in
1977 and has been renewed by Congress every single year. It's
usually tacked on to some bill. It's not a law. It's an
amendment that keeps you know, keeps coming back like just bad
that Mexican food and the Hyde Amendment says that no federal
funds may be used to pay for an abortion. And this is kind of
the you know, the the way that we that Roe versus Wade was you
know, it's kind of been accepted by all parties. Like okay, well,
it's your you're allowed to do it but the federal government is
not going to pay for this is what this Continue. So you know
when when you hear it when you heard all this stuff a couple of
years ago, but Oh crazy Republicans the one put it in
the health care bill, President Obama specifically signed an
executive order that said as a part of the the what is now
known as the ACA, the Affordable Care Act, which has nothing to
deal with affordable care. What about insurance companies that
specifically said, no federal funds reiterate the Hyde
Amendment stays intact. And this is kind of replaced the Hyde
Amendment. No federal funds may be used for abortions, however,
states may put their own money into their local Medicare and
Medicaid programs or whatever program they want. But if that
is put into an insurance package, they actually have to
segregate the money. It's like some kind of like, we're going
to the supermarket and Mickey brings $10 and I bring $10. And
we're only going to use her $10 to buy the milk because we've
agreed I won't pay for milk. I mean, it's total bull crap is
what it is. And so I've been following this very closely. We
have the money that was going into Planned Parenthood in
Texas, they have new rules about affiliation with an abortion
clinic, you can't advise and be affiliated with, with clinic
that aborts. The money is going to crisis pregnancy centers, and
there's all kinds of organizations, what I'm going to
tell you right now put this in the book, because I'm seeing the
exact same wording everywhere. And in this Senate Bill five, it
actually repeals one of the important parts of Texas
legislature was which which states that they, it used to be
that a clinic, the requirements for an abortion clinic clinic
could not be higher than those placed upon Medicaid clinics,
that has now been repealed and been replaced with this
language, which is now cropping up in every single state. And it
is exactly the same language. Three quarters of the Texas bill
is about the requirement for the clinic. And, and what whoever,
whatever this, I think its problem reaction solution,
whoever is funding this, which I suspect, you know, insurance
companies, something is going to change, and there's going to be
a bonanza in clinics that adhere exactly to what is it is so well
laid out, John, it's like a blueprint, you can go if I had
money, I'd start one of these clinics tomorrow. Because it's
going to be a bonanza, it's going to get funded somehow
someway. And I think a part of this delaying of the of the
implementation of the health care bill until 2015 has
something to do with this. There's no other reason why
every single state comes up with the same requirements for clinic
Oh, that would make sense because what you'd end up with
is similar to what the pharma pharmaceutical companies have
done is you create a market for your product which is in this
case abortions and then you and then you look over the code the
Affordable Care Act in this case or whatever is going to come
down the road or something they expect they might know about
some legislative something where you can get these you get these
abortions actually funded by the government. Yeah, so thus you
jack up the price. So now is $5,000 Well, here's here's the
beauty. You make Yep. loads of money. Well, here's the beauty
of
it. The actual amount of of second term or what they would
call late term abortions. I mean, it's so disgusting. I have
to research this but I do it because it's important to to
wade through the bullcrap is very, very low, you know, it's
the percentage is much smaller than you'd expect, at least the
ones that are research in Texas, most of the abortions are done
through ru 486 which is the it's essentially it's medication, you
go in and, and this is what's great about you're gonna have
clinics, we have to have to appointments get has to be in a
certain proximities more money more money right then, but it
won't, they won't actually be doing a lot of surgical
procedures, they're just going to go in and you're going to
take a pill and you come back and get two more sessions or
whatever it is. And, and your baby aborts. That's what that's
what's going to happen. And you're you're right, it's now
$500 It's going to go to 5000 That's so obvious what is going
on is you're not paying for it. So no one's gonna complain.
Yeah, exactly. And it's it is going to happen and so the wheat
so the you know, the weird twisted bit about all this and
I'm thinking maybe these protesters are because the way I
see the way I would do it if I were running the show will be
okay, you know, look, here's what we're gonna do. We
understand you're all pissed, you know, we're gonna have this
bill go through. But we're gonna have a little compromise. So we
have all these stringent restrictions on what a clinic
can do. We don't want to shut everything down. We're going to
take a part of the Texas Women health care pro gram, and we're
going to find this specific type of clinic and done. It's going
to be a bonanza. And I think very soon I've seen you're gonna
see it very soon. And North Carolina is going to be in and
all these other states have to have the exact mean. You can't
tell me that they're all thinking, oh, let's let's do
exactly the same requirements, let's all have the same
requirements for these types of clinics.
I guess what you're saying to summarize what you're saying, it
seems highly unlikely that all these places where there's where
this activity is taking place, we'll use the exact same
language exact same type of bill for some obvious reason, which
is not being explored
and why all of a sudden did North Carolina period. And North
Carolina had to jam and all of a sudden, why because something
was happening. Yeah, something's up. Something's up. Anyway, so I
just wanted to cuz I got a lot of people. I got a lot of
response to that rant, which I'm very appreciative of, mostly
positive, some negative, but I also did want to say that, you
know, outside of the, the crazy slaves that got riled up to go
yell and scream and shout and talk about get the government
out of my vagina and all this stuff, whatever, it's fine. But
please, you know, that also know that there's something else
going on here. And it's not just a bunch of crazy religious
Republicans that that also, I disliked that because that
breeds so much hate for people who have who have a different
opinion and it's okay to have a different opinion. No, no, no,
no.
I, I was talking to someone about this the other day, which
will go unmentioned. And then what this woman and the woman
said,
you can't just steamroll over the minority. I was like, that's
a very interesting way of looking at things.
That's why we have a Federalist style government.
Now but but the point being so this bill passes because the
because the majority of of the Senate, the Texas Senate, voted
for the bill. Yeah, but but then it's like you can't just roll
over the minority who lost the vote. Well, yeah, that's why
that's why you have a vote. I don't understand the problem is
we can't have losers when your idea of wins the other one loses
the I don't understand. How does that work? We can't all isn't
that what how a democracy functions.
Yes, like the marijuana thing. We lost legalizing marijuana in
the state of California. So you can't just roll over the
minority so we should be able to smoke marijuana is I mean, I
don't get the logic. Yeah, it says it craziness and people say
a little discouraging. Like no, this is not how it works. Like
you have a vote and then the votes done. Do you don't like it
then elect some other people and go vote again. Very strange.
Very, very strange. All this is very strange.
All right. Well, I think I'm, I'm done. Okay,
I just wanted to welcome Croatia to the United States of Europe,
and to the trans Adriatic pipeline project. Good work.
Yeah. Well, at least you're sending us money.
All right. We got tons of stuff that we'll be doing on Sunday,
and we will be back with another show just for you. We wish
everybody a very Happy Fourth of July. I'll be celebrating alone
here until Miss Mickey comes home around once. I think she
lands at 830 I'm hoping Oh, right. During the fire I hurt
yeah, we're probably not gonna be able to make it home to get
on the roof but such as life of a podcast or at large. What did
you think of my sound today?
It sounds like you sound old. White, but you had new gear?
Yeah, this
is the ultimate podcast device by using the device. Yeah, I
wouldn't know the difference. Yeah, well, there's
I've been regulating it and tweaking it throughout the whole
show. And I think I've finally come up with kind of a kind of a
good setting to good sound but I didn't want to I didn't want to
tell you off. I didn't want to tell you ahead of time. So oh my
god. So this box is about the size of a cigarette pack and it
replaces 319 inch rack boxes.
And welcome to technology that's what we'll have. What eventually
nobody will have a job. Right? Okay, what people want to work
with this robot.
Coming to you from the capital of the drone star states Austin
