Hey, Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, June 12 2014.
It's time for you get no nation media assassination. This is
episode six to five. This is no agenda, counting down the days
to six weeks and coming to you from FEMA Region six here in the
Travis heights hideout in the capital of the drone Star State.
In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where it's always nice. I'm John
C. Dvorak. Greg Levin, Buzzkill.
It's always nice. No, it's not. Yeah, you get gloomy days, you
get gloomy days and crappy stuff. Can I ask you a question?
I wish you would.
And this is it's just, I don't want to come across as I'm not
trying to embarrass you. I'm just trying to understand
something. Yeah. Do you type blindly on the keyboard? I'm
sure you do.
You know, I'm looking at the list of clips. And I knew that
was the question.
The question stands, do you type blindly how does this work?
Because clearly, as we know, the C stands for caps lock, and it
was locked. So you're typing shift and all of your clips
start with a lowercase and the rest is all uppercase? It's a
little weird.
Yeah. Yeah, I noticed this after the fact that wasn't about to go
back and fix it. Because they're just names of clips. I know what
they are. I
just, I'm just trying to understand your process.
I record see where it happened here. It's under the No, I know
where it happened. And then down somewhere, I hit caps lock and
from there on all.
But, but your process is different from mine. So
apparently, you have you record all these clips, and they have
different names. And then you go back and you change all the
names, one after another. I would go it works at all. Oh,
how does your process work?
Okay, so I use an H two n. And I have this little recorder and I
hook it to the Dish Network. Audio Out, and then I save clips
on the DVR. And then I put them into the into the recorders. I'm
moving from here to there, right? And then when there's
something on on the computer that I want to pull down from
the interwebs. Yeah, I hook this up to the sound system. And I
just pull them down. So I ended up with a bunch of clips
on the on the Zoom, zoom. Yeah, Zoom One, two.
Okay. And most of these clips, some of them are combos. I mean,
there may be two or three clips within one of the recordings.
And I pull the then in the morning, because I have to do
these in the morning hour. And the reason I done it at night
before. But then I had to be extremely careful about what I
named the clips. Because i You can't there's so many clips you
can't was this one, you know, it's good. Just, for example,
there's a couple here that if I didn't have just if I had not
just recorded it, canter wiped out, I mean, I might forget what
that's about, right. And so then I make the clips in the morning,
and then I titled them something that would just be something
simple that I can that you can find. Yeah, when I'm talking
about it, and at the same time, something I can't remember what
it was.
So again, so when you're titling, and you just how does
that work? How can it be that you don't see that your that
your caps is locked down, understand where you see it, I
mean, just strain Well,
in this case, I was typing away, and I just when you do it, you
just, you got your clip, and then you you export it, and then
you give it a name. And it's out of there and I was just doing
these things, you know, one after another before I actually
look down and so wow, I think your process is so many typos in
there
in your processes so much. But first of all, that's a lot of
work. People don't realize and that's not true. From time to
time, someone will say, hey, you know, I clip this for you holy
crap, it took me half a day to do one clip. How do you guys do
it? Because my, my process is different. Of course I have. I
have a dedicated studio and everything's kind of set up all
the time. And I also use the DVR. So if I see something, I'll
rewind, yeah, I'll rewind. And then I use what is an Audio
Hijack Pro so I title it as I'm recording so I don't have that
intermediary step. And I recorded direct to mp3 on to
the difference between you and me in that regard because I
can't I mean, if I did that it would just be that would
actually add an additional step because many times like say I
had a clip from Democracy Now that has a me going on about two
or three things. I can't title that clip because it's really
not a finished clip. Right? I'm not finished I'm not doing
finished clips at the beginning I'm taking pieces of things
right then I'm listening to them more carefully and then clipping
out. Then I'm editing I'm doing more posting
well then so after so I just I just record no record but maybe
five minutes and then So I have it already titled on on my
drive, and then I'll edit. If there's three clips in it. I'll
edit it out. And I'll title one, two or three. It's interesting
that, you know, six more than six years and I have no idea how
you do your stuff on your end is the first time we've actually
talked about it.
Yeah, well, you know, everybody did. That. Is the thing about, I
noticed this some years back when I was I had my big telecom
book on the 80s. And I go, Oh,
tell us about which bits big telecom book.
I had this big giant telecom book Devarakonda
telecommunications like 1000 pages. And it was a big deal at
McGraw Hill. And they had put me on.
I gotta interrupt you. I think you're on Comcast. I don't think
you're on Sonic net. I can tell the difference. How crazy is
that? How crazy is it that I can tell what network you're
connected to?
No, I'm actually on Sonic. Oh, really? It says isn't breaking
up? Yeah, it's giving it's
it's doing real Comcast he likes. It's okay. It did. Maybe
it'll shake out. So I'm sorry. Back to the telecom book.
So they put me on a radio tour. A media tour radio and
television around the country.
Did you have a because of course this is back in the day. Did you
have a limo?
I was always offered a limo and I always refused. And did you
have a PR bro? I don't like them was I don't understand why
people use them.
I think towncars are great. I hate limos. They're
uncomfortable.
Because I don't want somebody driving me around. I want to do
you want to drive yourself? Did you? But I see stuff that I want
to go take a photo of or something you can drive. He
thinks you're an idiot.
Did you have a PR girl who traveled with you? No, I
had a PR girl that was coordinating everything but she
wasn't traveling with me. Which is another thing? I don't really
like it.
Well, I've had it both ways. And I have to say I kind of like it
when you've got someone who's like, Can I get you something to
drink? Yeah,
I see. I'm not for any of that. And now that elitist crap.
Yeah, but I knew I also had the someone to cough my hair and
yeah,
yeah. Okay, well, that was different. But when it was radio
anyway, and what I noticed was actually, my only takeaway from
the whole experience, besides the fact that this is a huge
waste of time and money. Yeah. Although it probably does sell a
few books, but it's still a waste. Not really, I don't
believe I think I think one or two books are sold. Yeah, I
noticed uh, one thing I took away was that every single radio
station I visited was so alien to every other radio station in
the way they were set up and operated and the way that
control rooms were and the way that guys work some guys, you
know, there are guys working standing up, Tom, like it's in
you, you work Stan, I work standing up. Some guys are in
their own booth, you know, you have these guys who only want to
be near you is a whole series and all the controls are all
it's amazing. The difference from place to place is so
outrageous that it's like there's no standardization
whatsoever. And I think that's the way in this in the whole
audio game, which is why I do what the way I do it is an alien
province of way everyone else doesn't do the same thing with
your gear, which is all customized well,
but transporting stations are always the same. They they're
always kind of like stand up kind of the same setup, aren't
they? No.
I worked at I worked at a couple of these places on and off. And
I mean, there's a similarity that you could say is from place
to place. But like the big giant stations in the Bay Area, I've
worked at kgvo and K if I forget the other one, the other big one
ksfo. And they're just alien to each other. Everything is
different. Sometimes it's not that different. But I mean, it's
always different though. It's not like it's not like the
French nuclear power plants.
Do you remember the old top 40 stations where they had the
board with the big until they didn't have faders but they had
the big knobs, and then big to big pots. Yeah. And then and pre
fader listening. You turn the knob all the way to the left and
go click and then on the left speaker, you could you know pre
listen to whatever record you were queuing up.
Yeah, they had a look a little indented. Pop it to that. And
yeah, they had that we had one of those that when I went to
Foothill Junior College, in a radio station had those and Leo
has a gates at the twit studios. Yeah, those are nice. That has
been rebuilt and is in mint condition. And that's the exact
model you're talking about it.
You know, it's for you know, what's so funny is if I say him,
I don't know. You know, someone's mentioned something
about the sound and actually, it sounds the same to me as normal.
I get emails. Yeah, no, I noticed that's different. I
understand that. You can't just that's not a qualifying
statement. It doesn't work like that. Anyway, it's about the
content people.
You just broke up. It's kind of funny.
Okay, how did we get Get on this I don't remember why we were
asking
me how I get wise why I can't type
and somehow we got to your 1000 page book and you doing book
tours I'm not sure exactly what happened there
it was a really it was a roundabout way explaining why I
can't type so what do you got?
Well, I got a lot I'm just now now I'm really annoyed. Yeah.
Did you know that this is astonishing? I don't know why
this is in front page news. Okay, but Bergdahl. Bo Bo Bo
Diddley. Was it bird Bob? Bob's dad I bow. Bow Bow Bow Bow
Bergdahl Yeah, yeah, apparently when he was over in Afghanistan
had his head cut off. And I guess they somehow managed to
put it back on and that's that's why I think he's probably
resting and recuperating in. In Germany.
New details have emerged a free US soldier Beau Bergdahl is time
and Taliban captivity. Bergdahl has told military doctors he was
beaten, tortured and locked in a metal cage for weeks and
possibly months at a time as a punishment for trying to escape.
He is reportedly now in good enough can physical condition to
fly home to the United States, but we'll remain at an American
military hospital in Germany until mentally ready. The Obama
administration faces continued Republican criticism for winning
Bergdahl its freedom and return for five Taliban prisoners held
at Guantanamo Bay. Speaking to CNN Republican Senator John
McCain claimed Obama has released quote, hardcore
military Johannes who are responsible for 911 Speaking to
CNN Secretary of State John Kerry defended the prisoner
exchange,
it would have been offensive and incomprehensible to consciously
leave an American behind no matter what to leave with
American behind in the hands of people who had torture him cut
off his head, any number of things consciously choose to do
that? That's
the other side of this equation.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait. Now, are you just trying
to mess with me? Or are you just trying to go straight for the
jugular? I mean, there is without a doubt today right off
the bat you get it? I mean, no doubt about it. Clinically, are
you kidding me? Is king what is wrong with this man?
He would I when I heard that when he says you know you're
there to torture him and then cut off his head.
And then it was more stuff after cut off his head which makes it
even funnier. What do you do you what anyway? The reason I
thought that clip was hilarious. And I when you really listen to
it, it actually says that he did. He had his head cut off and
it's not like he's going to have its head cut off. When I heard
it, the first thing I thought was you and your anecdotes about
your for everyone's a Well, you brought up the one of the locals
there in Texas that carries an idiot. And they'd always get
hooked at you.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, no, no, no. If I say he's stupid, no, it was
different. It was I said, you stupid you can't get into that
position as Secretary of State if you're stupid and and then I
turned around and said, Oh, that's funny, because you always
told me that George Bush was an idiot and he was president. And
that's that's
the line, right? That's a setup. That's yeah, it's a setup T ball
T ball. So
Hagel, who is our new Secretary of Defense, by the way, chat
room, I've lowered the bit rate, whatever, I just wanna make sure
I know it sounds crappy just for you people like, you sound like
sand. What kind of report is that? People? like
sand. That's, that's them. I heard sand. It sounded like
Adam.
Now Hegel, I want to remind everybody our Secretary of
Defense, is it is a boob. This is the guy who fumbled and
bumbled and they still said, Oh, well, how shucks, whatever.
We'll we'll let you in will will, will confirm you but he
did a lot of things wrong. And he had to go back and restate
his answers. During his confirmation hearings. The guy
had not, not really on the ball. And,
and he looks exactly like droopy dog like those big bags under
his eyes.
And here he is. Trying he's under fire now in a
congressional hearing, because Bo Diddley is still in Germany.
He is not even home yet. This is this is a little confusing.
People haven't really talked about it. So we haven't really
gotten any intel from him. And it got a little heated there and
up on the Hill. Mr. Secretary,
you keep saying we can't get the facts from Sergeant Bergdahl
until he returns home. Have you ever thought about going to
launch tool and talking to him there
was a constant Well,
I don't know how much medical training you had. Congressman, I
haven't had much. And what we're doing is we are allowed to
witness a doctor's visit Dr.
Terry, wait a minute, wait a minute.
By The way I love how he just shuts up when the guy says, Wait
a minute, that's not something any of the other secretaries
would know. Is that No, not at all?
Why hasn't he been returned to the United States? We have
seriously wounded soldiers that are returned to the United
States almost immediately after they are stabilized. How long
did jessica lynch wait before she was returned to the United
States? You're trying to tell me that he's being held at
Landstuhl, Germany because of his medical condition?
Congressman, I hope you're not implying anything other than
that doofus the factors yeah, see
question, Mr. Secretary,
I'm gonna gonna answer to like the implication. Answer. He's
being held there because our medical professionals don't
believe he's ready until they're they believe he is ready. Hama
Hama. Hama wait. To take the next I
don't believe he's ready and read and not ready. And is he
ready? Ready. We have
ever seen a traumatically injured service member brought
to the United States immediately with his head cut off upon being
stabilized at launch. Do we do it all the time?
This isn't just about a physical situation, Congressman, this guy
was held for almost five years. And God knows what kind of
conditions we do know some of the conditions
you can hear his brain going he's because what comes out of
his mouth, it's in God knows what kind of conditions Oh,
crap. I mean, we do know some of the conditions, you can hear his
brain trying to correct his his mouth, which is just foaming
with with Morante,
this guy was held for almost five years. And God knows what
kind of conditions we do know some of the conditions from our
intelligence community not from by the way, Bergdahl. This is
not just about Kenny get on his feet and walk and get to a
plane.
So you're telling me he cannot be questioned because of his
condition
I'm telling you is that the medical professionals rely on
their judgment for his health, which I assume everybody
respects no, not really a couple of have made the determination.
And we'll make the determination that when he is ready to move
and move to the next step, which in San Antonio, then we can
proceed that.
This is obviously there's a nightmarish situation. Yes,
search reports already that Bergdahl has renounced his
parents and he's all in with the captors is Stockholm Syndrome,
or BS D was what he was was he was a turncoat. And they can't
they're trying to talk him out of giving that testimony. This
is exactly like wag the dog. Yeah. And the Woody Harrelson
character who was a rapist. Yeah, they were bringing back
after these phony baloney rescue and they couldn't get it. He
couldn't get his act together straight because he was a psycho
that needed to take a bunch of pills. I think the same things
going on with this guy.
Well, you recall that they they basically put Bandcamp girl
Marie Harf like hear you. You do the you do the you talk? Yeah,
but now they've really thrown this poor girl to the wolves.
They're making her go on shows. I know it's she was on the show.
Because you see her go on with Andrea Mitchell. No, I
didn't see it. But I saw some clips of it. Oh, my.
I feel bad for this girl. I have. I have just a piece of it.
Which was, I mean, they're really they have no mercy on
her. Hey, Camp girl. Hey, Bandcamp girl. Hey, welcome to
the Big lady.
She's so stupid. And she doesn't know how to feel these questions
properly. I don't think they care. They just screw it. It's
her fault.
She's not stupid. But she reminds me of many. Okay, she
reminds me of your typical midsize company Human Resources
girl. Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, though she has that element and she'll be gone. But
she says she thinks she's toeing the company line and she's not.
And she's the one that has to call. Adam. Can you do your
timesheet? That's that's what I envision her as, like as human
resources grow? Well, I
just don't see her as a as a as a brainy she's not
well, she's not as sharp. PR Wolf is what you have to be here
she is with Andrea Mitchell, who was who was essentially eating
her for lunch.
Let me question you about that because the bin Laden raid was
completely briefed for 11 months. And in fact, in the 48
hours prior to the raid was briefed to the top leaders. I
know it was not actually
it was not the bin Laden raid wouldn't the only other time we
haven't briefed Congress and an operation fact
that was claimed initially by sorry, Marie Marie Marie Tom
Donilon. In fact, in a conference with me, we could go,
but since that time, Mike morale says that it was completely
briefed. He was acting CIA director and in contemporaneous
timeframe I talked to stop
Did Murray say wha? It gets worse? She's about to make the
worst mistake
the day after the raid and he said, I'm so sorry. I couldn't
talk to you that Sunday. We were together. It was brief. Why
folks first and then if you remember No, and I think it's
the same. And what we're
what she has put her foot in the poop right there. I was the
spokesperson, don't you remember?
Uh, yeah. Okay, that was Bergdahl is in somewhat the same
as bin Laden. The architecture of what this might look like,
including in the Bergdahl case was briefed to Congress. And
so this is this is how she's been told to spin this that the
architecture was well known. Yeah, but that was she was sent
away with that message of nothing else. And hey, Bandcamp
girl, good luck. I thought it was kind of mean.
Yeah, yeah. It's it. Yeah.
But it also means that there's there's trouble if they're
throwing her out there. Like please send her time at VanCamp
they did this with Susan Rice that one time remember?
Well, yeah. Yeah. And how that workout for?
Well, you know, turns out that rice is not that bright either.
I think these women are being used
well, then this I think is a perfect segue into a something
that somehow I thought you would said you were not going to do
this anymore.
No. I said, Well, I'm not going to do anymore. It's club 33.
I recall a conversation at one point where you are not going to
follow or report on the Miss America pageants or any
questions USA is slightly different. But I I have to
because there's political implications in the shows. I
told this to me, me who is moaning about my like watching
these women and walking up and down over and over again. Why is
she complaining? What's wrong with that? She just thinks I'm a
horndog or something to be watching three hours and by the
way, it's you record these shows you can watch through these are
horrible shows. They're they're too long. It's just uh, it's,
it's just ridiculous, but whatever the case was, there's a
lot of political implications that show up for one thing, you
realize that the shows are rigged. And I you know, as we
can say, you know, everyone says, oh, yeah, big deal. This
is News. Who
is this a Trump out who produced this is the Trump this is the
Trump one. Okay, well, then, of course,
you want me to go into these couple of these clips? Yeah,
this is a very important miss you and Miss USA showed up.
But let me just say, the no agenda show is not ashamed to
delve into the political nature of beauty pageants. And no, I'm
always amazed that no one else does this. So it is our USP
the only time they've actually done it and I'd say as a group
of journalists was when that missed I wish I almost was going
to put that clip in there the Miss South Carolina Miss Teen
South Carolina, who made the huge gaff a botch this show was
this start off with just an overview there's a bunch of
women they bring him in I don't even know if they have these
competitions with state by state because there was one in the
Miss Washington for example was was jobbed out if she should
have been in the top 20 She she was a dead ringer for a Jenny
McCarthy only a little better looking. Okay, and she didn't
even get top 20 whereas Miss Virginia who looked horrible she
looked like a guy. She thought this was just I'm being
objective and
let me let me ask you why in this day of misogyny and yes,
all women why are the people were there protests outside?
Were there women you know, yelling Trump is a douchebag
with ads happen anytime we're advertisers pulling out how can
this How Is this acceptable in this day and age?
You tell me I mean, this is another issue that needs to be
discussed. Now so they had this but what I have to give Trump
credit for and I think he has something to do with this when
they finally get down to the final like six or so you could
throw a dart and it doesn't make any difference they're all
gorgeous. Like I would say the exception to this was and
somebody will grown into yet the let me finish this. Miss
Louisiana. Miss Louisiana was not in the same universe as
these other women. She was a I would call her an outrageous
European style beauty queen of the order of Grace Kelly. She
was she was just not even she was a cut above everybody else.
She was out of place. Because it would these contests are and why
I think we don't compete very well and Miss Universe. These
contests, pick the Cyper cute girl Okay, it's just the cutest
thing you've ever seen just cute as a bug kind of a cat. You
know, whatever cutie pies. Let
me just say this is the blonde. She's the
dude make sure it's 2014 2014
Brunette little kind of dark Brunetti. I don't know there's a
whole bunch of
I don't know what Okay, what's your data? You know, if you look
at the right picture, it's hard to find the right pictures. But
whatever the case is when you saw her visually you'd go Oh,
yeah, she's she's gorgeous. Whatever the case that one that
one was Miss Nevada. Um, now Miss Nevada who is really cute
girl. Also multi CultI Nia Sanchez Sanchez. And here's the
thing that in this way it shows me that this was rigged and of
course it multicolor at the end, it wasn't a bad choice because
all five of these are six of them that were at the end. They
were all any one of them could have one that doesn't you know.
They're all in fact, two or three of them looked like the
same girl exactly like sisters. So let's go over this couple of
clips. This is the rigged coincidences play that clip.
Hey, how are you? Nevada, Nevada, Nevada, Nevada, Nevada,
Nevada. I know everyone's you know, everyone's got their way
of saying it right?
Is this Giuliana from from EEE network? who's hosting IP? I
don't know what she's just a horrible host. And he gives the
other guy crap and they're scouring it as glower go to
whatever they're looking at each other.
I need to know who was hosting this. I'll look it up. I'll look
it
up. Now. This is the part this is what they're gonna get the
finalists and they're going from one to the other to the other.
For a casual conversation. This isn't the final question. This
is just a casual conversation. Now listen to the quiet to the
cat. casual conversation with Miss Nevada,
and Miss USA contestants are under tight security as a fourth
degree black belt. Do you really need it?
I appreciate the security that we have. But I feel I can take
care of myself. I've always felt very confident. And I think it's
a great thing for a woman to have that confidence to be able
to take care of herself. So no messing with you. Right? All
right, Louisiana. Football fans here. I don't know if
everybody at home can tell but you are the hometown girl here
so what have you enjoyed most about welcoming others from the
Miss USA contestants to everybody with the organization
to your state
was really fun showing them our culture it's so vibrant and rich
the hospitality here so great
our culture
so let's go to like for example this is just an example now. Now
we go to the questions it is Julian's
rancid by the way that she is the girl from the network.
Okay, here we go. Now we have that this is the question that
the judge that the other one of these questions at the end. This
is the typical question and this was asked of Miss Louisiana.
This is the USA Louisiana clip.
You have to miss Louisiana you have USA Louisiana and Louisiana
dash one. Is that just a mistake? I don't know. USA,
Louisiana. We'll see. Okay. Louisiana, please come over and
join us. Please go ahead and select the card. Thank you. And
we have judge number for ions hearing your question please. So
I and Ziering from Sharknado. Yeah, Hey, how come we're not
judges man if the Sharknado guy can get in?
In recent weeks US has released five detainees from Guantanamo
in exchange for one US soldier held captive and Afghanistan.
There you go. The US policy is to leave no soldier behind. Do
you think it's fair to sacrifice or swap lives in order to uphold
this policy?
I am glad that we got our guy back. However, I do not feel as
right that we subject ourselves to these acts of terrorism by
being back but I do not think you should subject ourselves.
Thank you. Wait a minute, Louisiana.
Do they have a producer like yeah, clap now?
No, she's the local girl so they were just going
up but they went nuts for her when she said I don't think we
should know what she said given the terrorism or something.
It's some mid or subject or something subject ourselves a
little wasn't it? I don't know what she was just it was an
inane commentary. She didn't know what she I don't know what
she was trying to say. Meanwhile, they have these kinds
of political questions and then if you remember the little intro
to began with Miss Nevada and her black belt Yeah, now we have
the final question for her. All right. Let's see what we have
here.
Judge number five. Hey, rumor.
Rumor Willis,
your question please.
Recently, Time Magazine revealed that 19% of us undergraduate
women are victims of sexual assault in college. Why has such
a horrific epidemic been swept under the rug for so long? And
what can colleges do to combat this?
I believe what a shared question. I mean, first of all,
the question to ask, Why has it been swept under the rug for so
long that? Well, I don't know. What does that? That's not a
nice? That's a shitty question. But I don't know, because
Republicans hate women. I would say sometime, what are you gonna
say to that? Well, that
would have been a good answer.
I believe that some colleges may potentially be afraid of having
a bad reputation. And that would be a reason that it could be
swept under the rug, because they don't want that to come out
to the public. But more awareness is very important. So
women can learn how to protect themselves. myself as a fourth
degree black belt I learned from a young age, you need to be
confident and being able to defend yourself. And I think
that's something that we should start to really implement for a
lot of women. Thank you.
Okay. Well, I think she did a good job on that answer.
Yes, she did. But it's a rigged question. Obviously. It was
meant for her. Yeah, she could bring that black belt thing and
it was just so artificial. And this entire thing I wonder. I
would like to be a judge just to see what is going on in the
background. I'm sure you have to sign nondisclosure Well, here it
is. I'm
shocked to find that gambling is going on.
Yeah, okay. I don't know. I mean, there's i That stupid
little jingle in the background is sticks in your mind,
unfortunately. Oh, boy. Oh, I know here here it is. Great from
risk. Give it up.
You could do this. You could be the host.
I could easily good actually. Easily. We have one more clip if
you want to play which is honestly what's this other one?
I don't know what the Louisiana one is.
I think it's the same outline some I think it just got doubled
or something.
Yeah, new North Dakota this way to opens up and it was actually
North Dakota was a good looking girl too. But like I said the
last six were their old same. All right, North Dakota. Hey,
how are you? I like the green. I'm feeling a girl.
So North Dakota, what do you think your old bullies would say
to you now that you're in the top six.
Actually, a lot of the bullies that I encountered in high
school have apologized and I live in Fargo, North Dakota
still today and a lot of them still live there. And so I think
they're incredibly I guess, thank people for doing that and
apologizing. But yeah, like it's an example of how you can push
forward and keep going. No matter what you face in life. So
yeah. Yeah.
Thank you North Dakota.
That was the that was the beginning. Through again, I
appreciate it earlier, but so they bring up the bully issue of
course. And this is gorgeous. She's mighty five, nine. She's
just really pretty girl. And she she says, you know, and then
they bring up bullying like she was bullied. She was probably I
would assume probably more of the one of the cliques. And
yeah, I bet people came up to her and apologize. Yeah, they
apologize. Yeah. What are you doing to Saturday? I'm
sorry about what that guy said. What are you doing?
I mean, please. Anyway, so the whole thing was it's it was I
don't think it was it didn't perform well for me as an
analyst and so far it's finding new memes or anything like that
and it's just didn't just didn't do much. Well, I noticed
something I talked to Mimi about Okay. Because there's a bunch of
the not all of them miss Nevada didn't have and a lot of these
others but there's a there's a muscle in women. That is the
equivalent of the six pack and men but it goes up and down
horizontally. She's explained to me this she says this comes from
a dam and I forgot to write down a special exercise that's become
popular recently. It's called the royal a chair or something
as thing you sit up in maybe somebody in the chat room
and this is this is to exercise your core, I presume or
something.
It's exercise do you use this chair to exercise all sorts of
things, but if you use it for stomach exercises, you do kind
of crunches or whatever while you're on this thing. You get
this protruding muscle that runs from just below the breast down
to just under the belly button. And it sticks out on a thin
woman. And it looks weird when you see it it's like it's kind
of creepy to be honest about it because it protrudes so much.
And a number of these women had that pride they at least half of
them had this little issue from exercising.
Well we need to find out more about this. This muscle.
Yeah, I did. She had to name for it too. Because a specific
female muscle.
Women Women have a different muscle in their in their in
their 60s,
apparently It has something to do with the protecting the
uterus during pregnancy as a specific muscle for for women,
and she has a purpose and they don't hit and that's why you see
very few women she says she's done just relating what she
tells me with six pack abs because they're they just unless
they take testosterone they haven't gotten enough. They
can't make those payments. They can't build the muscle up. Yeah.
And so this muscles what happens instead, and when it's
protruding it actually it protrudes so much on some of
these girls and makes them look like they have a little
potbelly. And I just found when they've been during the bathing
suit competition, at least half of the women had this issue. The
ones that were in the top six, didn't they just had normal
shaped figures?
I'm looking at the chat room, but I'm not getting a lot.
Yeah, they're probably just a bunch of guys that don't know
anything. Well, I get a lot
of stupid jokes, that's for sure. Well, we do have an
official no agenda workout for the abs. No agenda, shall they
get kick to the crotch? Exactly.
There you go. It seems anyway, that was that was the only
oddity I saw that I didn't have never noticed before. But I
don't know. There's been a few more of these. If this continues
at this pace with this light, light, light amount of
information. I'm going to stop doing this. Now. Okay,
so yeah, there you go. You're, you're threatening again.
Anyway, some housekeeping business. A lot of people and
I'm, I'm kind of happy on one hand to see that it's a lot of
the other hand, I'm sad about it. But so many people have been
listening to this program from very early on that even though
we've had a new podcast feed for how man how long now? Almost two
years. I'm gonna I'm gonna guess longer than that longer than
Yeah, I'm not I don't know if it's really longer than two
years. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz you moved, because you were freaked
out? Yeah. Because I knew things were going to change. And you
can find that on every front page that our podcast is listed
no agenda show.com. On any of the show notes, it says right
there podcast feed, you can click on it, and it'll subscribe
to an iTunes or if you use something else that should work,
you should be able to use that feed. A lot of people are still
using the old MVNO feed. Yeah. And all of a sudden, I'm getting
tweets. That let's say like, Hey, well, how come I need a
password? Well? Yeah, yeah, you were gonna say something?
No, I was just I reminded of the you we get this. I gotta, guys
just wrote me a note. I'm not gonna say who it is. But he
says, I send an email, and I haven't gotten my ring. And I
said, Did you go to? No agenda nation? nations.com/rings? Uh,
huh. I haven't heard back from him. But I mean, as many times
as we tell people to do something. I don't know how many
times you have to tell them before? Or they'll know. I think
it's probably an infinite number of times. Yeah, and yeah, I
don't think it's I think it's impossible.
A lot of people just don't know, they don't, you know, clicked on
something years ago. Right. And they're living the show. No, but
it's also it's okay, you know, I'm, I'm just letting everybody
know that I put it in the show notes again, in the in the
actual show notes. But it's It's on every single page
feed.na shownotes.com/rs x dot XML. That does you know, things
you probably can't remember it, but it's everywhere. And if
you're having an issue, you probably, I just wonder if
people don't receive a show? Do they do a lot of them think oh,
well, it's over? Or do they wonder I just said that there
must be people who
say, Yeah, I'm guilty of this. Oh, well, I know that I've had a
something I was following for a while and then somehow did. It
happens on my blog. I used to have a couple of things on my
blog. That's one of the guys erased or got erased somehow,
and it's not on there anymore. Usually in a sidebar, or
something that I was referring to something you know, pointing
somewhere talking about something, and it disappeared,
and it would take me months to notice it. Months.
Yeah. But if you're if you're, I mean, people who listen to no
agenda. I think it's kind of a habit. And you would be Hey,
it's Thursday. I haven't gotten anything or it's Sunday or
Monday. Are we aware is it do people give? I don't know. I
don't know. Maybe I don't people just give up. Thank God, rest or
whatever. So I just want to that's just a little bit of
housekeeping got an email here from Paul Peterman in the
Netherlands. And he asked me to call you out as a douchebag. Or
if I could just hit you in the head with the rain stick.
I told you Yeah, yeah, for Yeah, I know why he was traveling
home from Denmark by train. He was first told in Kolding. The
carriages designated for the Netherlands. Were not there
because of the storm in Germany on Monday so instead he had to
travel don't do it to Frankfurt on mine get up at 6am Didn't
change there. And he paid for sleeper carriage for a reason,
you know, very unpleasant it gets worse in Frankfurt. We were
supposed to get an ice to Amsterdam but did not go further
than cologne cone. Because of the storms on Tuesday night
having destroyed the track in the overhead wires. I wanted to
go to Eindhoven via Dusseldorf and Venlo but Dusseldorf in the
segment to Venlo seem to be completely out as well. Ah,
the why my friend fly the Deutsche
Bahn, put me in a taxi to thrift. So I got home with the
delay of five hours. John is a douchebag for playing with the
rain stick on Sunday. Well, you gotta be careful. You don't
realize the power of the stick
the stick? Well, this is where we're both doing it because
that's when it really it causes trouble.
It rained here. I didn't even touch my stick and it rained
here.
Yeah, how long do you go without touching your stick?
I can go quite. Alright, very good. Hey, it's a comedy show
everybody. Congratulations, James Bertelsen kilo golf seven
Mike Juliet November brand new ham. I promise that if people
get their ham radio license because of the show, we're going
to call them out with their new call sign. And we have luckily a
presidential proclamation because gee, we don't have
enough. This has been a busy month.
Now if enough? Again it was it's just seems like a waste of time.
Well, June
15. Is very boy, not add. Don't take it the wrong way. Just it's
the only it's the only proclamation is World Elder
Abuse Awareness Day. Equation. Mie
world elder abuse. That's a good one. Yeah,
apparently. Let's see what the President says. Each year. The
international community renews its commitment to addressing a
human rights issue that too often goes ignored. Elder abuse,
neglect and exploitation. Yeah, I'm exploiting you. Elder Abuse,
damages public health and threatens millions of our
parents, grandparents and friends. It's a crisis that
knows no borders or socio economic lines. I think there's
laws. Yeah, just regular. I don't think you need a special
day for it. Okay, but
you Jever miles up trying to watch C span toe.
And that's the only proclamation we have from the President.
You're getting old men Simpson clips for the show. No,
I had not heard that one yet. Someone sent it to me. Okay. I
liked it because it was C span two
got this office East band too. Yeah.
But anyway, I would like to thank you for your courage as
always, John, and in the morning, do you
Yeah, in the morning. Are you all John C. Dvorak. J. The
morning you Adam curry. Also in the morning all ships and sea
boots on the ground feet in the air subs though of the Dames and
the Knights out there.
Well, you don't have to like run through it. It's okay. Might as
well in the morning. Yeah. In the morning to all the human
resources in our chat room. No agenda stream.com no agenda
chat. dotnet. Also in the morning to all of our artists.
Thank you very much, sir Nussbaum for the artwork on
Episode Six to four and we'll look forward to the art for six
to fiver obviously, which we'll be choosing right after the
show. We're going to choose a quick today because I I got to
run and I'm driving up to Plano Plano. That's a long drive for
you three and a half hours. Yeah, yeah, it's for him calm.
Oh, I talked to him. Is that where it is?
Well, they had Dayton which I missed because we were in we
were in Tokyo, but ham comm is you know it's pretty big Texas
thing. It's a Texas thing when people do fly in for it. And I
got my I got my 20 meter my 40 meter antenna on on the truck.
So I'll be slumming it on the side band all the way up. And
I'm away. I'm staying. I'm staying two nights. Nice. Well,
it starts early the flea market. I'm all this is this is bad. I
know it's bad. So you have the flea market.
Why did you get this old Mike?
Yeah, that's exactly. I love this. This
key. I used to use one of these mics when I was a kid when
I was in the military. The Flea Market starts at eight so i Oh,
you got to go to that. I want to get up early. And then of course
I didn't want to drive back the same day so I'll stay overnight
and go
for your man cave.
And Mickey is making fun of me.
Bet she is
she's like I'll pack you a brown paper bag lunch. And do you have
your holster for your cell phone?
To a woman, she's
very, very mean. But anyway, we'll be looking at no agenda,
art generator.com for your artwork after the show, not a
great day support.
This is a terrible day, I want to remind people that this is
the you you're giving us pause for concern. Here we have zero.
And I will say that again, zero executive producers and zero
Associate Executive producers, in fact, for the entire show,
anyone donating over $50 amounted to 22 people out of
probably a world of 100,000, at least over 10,000 people on the
mailing list. And that's the best you could do. And I have a
lot of thoughts on why this happened. Okay,
if I mess it up again, you
know, yeah, it's your fault. Okay. Well, I would say this,
that one guy in the last show, the guy who became the instant
bear gave more money, one single guy than everybody combined. On
this show five, or so I'm sorry, six to five. And I think
everybody has to think about this. What Why would they
everyone just drop off. And just, I mean, we even the
anonymous lesbian came in on this show, and she can't afford
it. People have to realize that, you know, we need to have a
constant cash flow. I'm reminded of the day when there used to be
a butcher shop that I used to go to that had venison, elk, that
all this stuff. And I, I went there as much. I went there for
a while. And then I just kind of forgot about the place. Or I
decided to I don't know what happened. I just got lazy. And I
didn't go there. I didn't support the place. And
let me guess. And you went by and the guy was closed?
Yeah, out of business. And I don't say it's just my fault.
I'm not the only one who you know, who likes to eat elk and
had a butcher shop where I could get it and didn't, didn't go
there enough to keep the guy in business. But that's the kind of
thing that can happen. Oh, yeah.
And when and when we go to the market to the Saturday market
here in Austin. And we we kind of, I don't think we've missed
really a day unless we were out of town. Or maybe one time we
were just, you know, I don't know, not even whether just for
some reason we stayed in but maybe once but I we were hung
over. That's right, I forgot. But we go out in the cold in the
rain. And these, they're appreciative. They're like, Oh,
man, thanks for coming out. And of course, this always gets me
the best cuts of meat later on in the year, but I'm doing it to
support them. And, and the like the chicken people, they really
weren't getting the support they needed at the at the market,
they're now gone. Now they've just moved their business, I
think they're, they're selling more to to a larger supplier. So
they've kind of made this decision, you know, well, why
don't we then just kind of work for one guy and sell a lot more.
And you know, now everyone else gets screwed. And but they had
to because the people just weren't supporting them enough.
Right? And that happens. gonna happen to this show. And then
you're everybody's gonna start, let's put it this way. You've
got this show you like to show you listen to the show, you're
not supporting the show, at least today. Your alternative is
Alex Jones. That's what you're going to be listening to. And
rents.com. That's going to be that's going to be your your
insight is all going to come from that this guy and rents and
maybe one or two others, Virginia, Dara, whatever,
there's a bunch of these characters and they have, you
know, analysis. I don't think it's the same. It's not the same
kind of analysis that we provide in any way. And you just have to
think about that this is your alternative. You don't there's
no other there's very little choice in the market. And so far
is the sort of analysis that we are providing. Yeah, okay, we do
the Miss USA contests. These are only four or five of these a
year. And they try not to belabor them if they're not
interesting, but there's other stuff that we do obviously
that's very important emotion.
I think you need to look at it differently. John, I think if
people want us to sell a boner pills and seeds and iodine
want to be poisoned by this show.
All right. We will have a segment of producers because of
course some of the a lot the people came in and did support
us just know executives are Associate Executive producers
that is it has I don't recall this happened before it must
have had happened two
years ago. And it happened once before that this is only the I
believe the third time this has ever happened where nobody, I
don't know I'd be could be they're all on vacation. I have
no idea where everybody went but there's like they all
disappeared. Just all at once.
Well, we do appreciate the support. Please think of us for
this coming Sunday. devora.org/n A And of course, we always need
more people to come in and not donate to support. Our formula
is
this. We go out people in the mouth
want to jump right into some agenda 21 stuff. There's first
an email I got from did you get this from Brian, the
firefighter? I don't know. Hey, John. Of course, it sent it to
me. It's for you. So Hey, John, I just heard you discussing the
forest fires and the main issue being people moving deeper into
the forest. Oh, yeah, no, I did get this email. Having worked as
a forest firefighter, I believe the root cause is the logging
policy. Now, I'm reading this email for a reason, because the
President is even saying, oh, you know, forest fires, it's
because of climate change.
I want to mention I mentioned to him and I mentioned to you, I
sent him a note back, that that when I did the exposition of
this little hearing, where a marquee didn't pay any attention
to anybody and just said, you know, we're all gonna die. I
mentioned that one, one of the two scientists that were
testifying here, who talked about the drought, the drought
years, showing up during a global cooling, right, it wasn't
him. But the other guy who talked about forest fires being
partly
who you know, you had
also sad that the logging has really fallen off, and the law
and that we don't have a good pro logging policy, when that
works, has contributed to this problem. He mentioned it. So I
just didn't play that part of the clip
to our firefighters says back in. Oh 607 There was a bill that
was rejected in the Oregon Senate that would have
increased, the logging on state lands to a fraction of a percent
higher, even though the increase was substantially less than the
regrowth rate of the forest. It was rejected for political
reasons. From my understanding the policy has been to suppress
fires and prevent logging, which has resulted in the perfect
storm that we're seeing now. And he was fighting. He was fighting
fires in the summer of Oh, seven, the forests were choked
with dense trees and bushes that easily caused a canopy fire.
Yeah. But this is this is being played off as global warming.
Yeah, global warming, and it's becoming increasing. Well, it's,
it's a little frustrating to me. How now, it's just gotten to the
point where this tooth I think two things are going on. One is
people are so tired of hearing about they don't give a crap,
nothing works. They don't care if you believe in it or don't
believe it. They just don't care. The problem is a lot of
policy is being set because of it, which is going to I believe
hurt people in other ways. Yeah. And that's why it's important.
But you also it's you get shouted down so easily. Here's
actually this is the Bill Maher show someone alerted me to this,
I can't watch the program. This is Bill Maher's overtime, so
it's not actually on the show. You can only get whips on the
web. Yeah. And he has with him on the show Ralph Reed who I had
to look up Do you know this guy relevantly? Yeah,
Ralph Reed is interesting because he was a superstar
politico with a consulting business very good looking kid.
And then he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. So some
corruption. Oh, really, I
didn't know about this. And then
finally, because during when he was kind of ousted, he was
ousted as one of the great conservative. He was a
conservative spokesperson kind of for, for a certain kind of
conservative as a religious conservative.
He was as hard as he got the jack Abram off lobbying scandal.
Yes. And now the funny thing was I, when I was writing a lot of
columns, I had found out that he was involved with Microsoft
because one of the things he was doing was Grant, what's called
the astroturfing. The public about some product or something.
And I kind of blew the whistle on it. Got rid of him.
So he is he's also What am I hearing here? Oh, I see what
people are hearing. Almost. Hold on second, John. Don't do that.
Oh,
he's off. He'll be back. She just walked in naked.
No, it's I was trying to figure out I hear this sound but it's
coming from outside. It's like it's like an 8k tone of
something that whenever I'm talking I hear it in the
background. It's what is it? I'm not sure.
It's probably just one of those things that are trying to beam
into your brain.
I think it's either a weed whacker two really loud locusts.
It's a locust plague
can be all right. Onward. Have you ever been in an area where
there's a locust go thing infestation going on? No, but I
do know that it's Oh, What's New what's happening right now in
Libya? They had. Well, apparently Gadhafi had this
whole locusts management program going on for years and when we
came in and saved everybody, I guess they heard this Oh, we'll
just Google it for a second this it's it's apparently it's really
bad. So locust Libya. Yeah, of course. I mean, why would we
tell you anything? Here desert locusts outbreak in Libya? of
God? Yeah, here with Gaddafi. Nasty locusts plague in Libya.
Yeah. Oh, look at the oh my goodness, when you see the
pictures. It's outrageous. So they had an outbreak in 2003.
And of course, this is not just contained to Libya. This will
spread to can spread to large portions of Africa. And the and
the crazy thing about it is is that in the locusts plague Isn't
that one of the one of the seven signs or something?
Yeah, well happens every seven years or so. Right? These Yeah,
this is the rapture God look at that picture. It's It's like a
It's a wall of these.
The rapture is upon us.
These things are nasty. But if you go into this, they haven't.
You know, they crop up everywhere. And if you if there
was some years back, they had Atlanta had a breakout. And when
you go into town, they just eat everything. When you're
wandering around, and they fall on you. Everyone's going,
Oh, it's horrible when they fall on you is a big thing hitch in
the shoulders. It's like cicadas.
But then yes, it well. There's a there's a different exam. They
does buzzing sound everywhere. It's a it's a beauty everywhere
you go is this buzzing sound is very weird. It's very creepy.
Yeah. That's why we're, we were looking at a new casa, by the
way here. And in Austin, we need to have a house that is actually
closed off to the environment. We need to have proper windows
and everything. So it's a heap of filters. No, it's not. We
have the filters, but the place is open. I mean, you can hear
everything. If someone walks past the house and farts, you'll
hear it. Smell it even worse.
All right, back to direct read. Right. So Rex
Reed, and I, a seems to be preaching more evangelism. But I
guess he's there to be made fun of as someone who's who believes
in God. Are you crazy man, you crazy man. And the topic of
global warming comes up. And Anthony Weiner is on the show,
interestingly enough. And two other people I don't remember
who but this is the clip of of what's his face. Ralph Reed with
Bill Maher on
on the on the issue of climate change. I believe the climate
changes, I believe in variations in the in the climate throughout
history. And that's documented. Yes, that's the controvert The
facts are these the facts are these and the and this is by the
National Oceanographic agency that from 1975 until about 2000.
The global mean surface temperature increased by about a
half a degree centigrade since 2000. It has not increased at
all bullshit.
How about that? Huh? Marches says bullshit. Right in the
middle of this. Yeah. What I don't understand. And here comes
wiener government but
let's assume for a moment there's no climate change. Why
isn't it the religious God fearing thing to do to protect
our earth under any circumstance?
Oh, thanks, wiener is
that goes on. But But wow,
that is the response you get that's like, what the hearings
that I played the clips up where these two guys they have all
these things to say and then the guy because it's
bullshit. But his was a bullshit. Exactly the opposite.
Yeah. And then go the opposite now. So that nobody will listen
to reason on that side. And then they shout you down and say that
you're a liar or you're not, you know, this is not facts. And
then they it's, it's astonishing to me, I have never seen it's
almost like mass hysteria. In a very funny way. I have never
seen anything like it. It must have a name. It must be
everybody as is I mean, not everybody obviously. But but it
nobody does it. If people cannot see the political side of this
where you have, why is it that all one, you know, why is it a
political issue? Why are the Democrats on one side of the
issue the Republicans on the other? I mean, why is that? And
I have some thoughts on this. Well,
well, first let's let's listen. And I want to talk about that. I
want to hear your thoughts, because that is pretty much
exactly the way it is now being drawn up. And of course, both
sides are playing it politically. And I can only
imagine that, you know, whether you're for or against, there's
money to be made both ways. That's the way I see it. But we
I guess we finally wrapped up that series on I believe it was
Showtime Years of Living Dangerously. This is your
recall, we played some clips Thomas Friedman, who was a
columnist, I believe for the New York Times. Yes.
He worked winter. Yes, he
was hosting this.
The one that is probably we talked about him before. He's a
he's a he's worked for the CIA or one of the agencies. It's he
doesn't say that but it's pretty obvious.
He comes in with the final episode of and he sits down with
the President. And of course this is the this is where we
knock it out of the park right? We got home runs we got to
deliver. And I found this little dialogue to be astonishing
when you're dealing with a lot of those people in the House
Republican caucus climate skeptic at best denier at worse.
Didn't want to do it while you just want to go off on them. I
mean, golf like a Roman candle. I was like, What is it with up
for you? I mean, you know, your your kid is sick, you consult
100 doctors, 97 of them telling you to do this. Tell you to do
that. And you want to go with the three?
Isn't that? Isn't that lovely? How they how They've now taken a
percentage down to actual numbers. So it's gone from 97%
to just three guys left?
Yeah. And when we had the guy who did the the Oregon petition
of scientists, climate scientists, and everyone in
between, who had who signed the petition saying this is
bullcrap. 30,000. So if that's 30,000, then that represents 3%.
Yeah, you can't come up with that other numbers.
Show me the other guys exactly what
conservative? I mean? Do you ever want small? Just wanna?
Yeah, absolutely. It's frustrating when the science is
in front of us.
It's frustrating when the science is in front of us.
And we can argue about how, but let's not argue about what's
going on. The science is compelling. The baseline fact of
climate change is not something that we can afford to deny. And
if you profess leadership in this country, at this moment in
our history, then you've got to recognize that this is going to
be one of the most significant long term challenges, if not the
most significant long term challenge that this country
faces and the planet faces. The good news is that the public may
get out ahead of some of these politicians. And I think that as
the public starts seeing greater frequency of extreme weather
events, as they start saying that what used to be 100 year
storms seemed to be happening every year or two
lots of great performative and you know, the sciences
compelling, seem to be some really good words he uses here.
And you start seeing the economics of inaction. Then,
people start thinking, You know what? We're gonna reward
politicians who talked to us, honestly and seriously about
this problem. Already. Science the sciences and
science. So this found out to be quite disturbing.
It's very disturbing and there's nothing you can do about it. I
was disturbed were those clips from last week last show? And
it's like there's, it's it's the weirdest thing I'm telling you.
It's one of the weirdest phenomenons I've ever seen. I
mean, I think this is weirder than the beanie baby thing which
I'm acquainted with Bitcoin.
And let's be honest, I thought that was weird and the baby
yeah, no, I
mean, I'm telling you what during that baby Beanie Baby
phase I was doing that show silicon spin and people come on
and we get into heated debates about at
that point, we also thought the Beanie Babies was the end of
civilization.
Well there's that after this huge debate Oh no, this is a
valuable these are valuable these are going to be worth a
lot of money. This is really no this is very wise to invest in
these No, you're nuts to think it's the same thing with a web
van. It's like wow is how you're gonna make money through
delivering all this food like this from this one company. Oh,
no, no, this is the new economy. They were all in on the new
economy. Do you remember the new economy get counted for
everything economy collapse 2000 and put the country into a
tailspin we've never recovered from the new economy. It's the
y2k another one there. Everyone's all in on this white
Oh, all the world's old ATM machines are going to fail. The
power grids gonna go down all these horrible things are gonna
happen. It's a known fact. You can't you can't be you have to
do you have to be super cautious. You'd have to buy into
this otherwise you're taking a huge chance you're being
irresponsible by by mocking it
is my public company at the time thinking new ideas We had
mandate from we're on NASDAQ, but there was a mandate for all
public companies to be y2k compliant. You could not get out
of it. And we were we had the Windows and Macs, yet we had
them an audit. You know, it costs 10s of me, it might have
cost us $60,000.
Everybody's paid a huge price for this bullcrap. And it would
it contributed to the economic collapse in 2000 2001.
We had we had the clients, you know, Reebok, Anheuser Busch,
Johnson and Johnson. And they required us, though, of course,
ultimately, they paid for it. But they required us to prove
and go through compliance, that the code that was running for
their websites mean, please, for budweiser.com Okay, that it was
y2k compliant. So we had wet side? Yes, yes. Yes. We had to
hire Boston Consulting Group. That's when we said, we're in
the wrong business. We got to be Boston Consulting Group. This is
great. Yeah. And they turned around and just hired climate
change. And they just hired a whole bunch of other
consultants.
Yeah, so consultants dream come true. Yeah.
It's an it's just bull crap. But you know, it's, there's a lot
going on with this. And we we now have, I got to take Eric,
the constitutional lawyer out to dinner again, because he does a
lot of these permitting in Texas for gas powered energy plants,
power plants. And, you know, he deals with this. So I'm gonna
have to ask him about, you know, the new EPA regulations, and
it's really quite insane. The stuff that's going on with, with
what the EPA the power there, now, it's a power more with what
the EPA has, what they can do. It's just, yeah. And now, now,
the whole thing is, you know, Don't raise your voice, you
know, raise it, don't raise the sea level, raise your voice
don't raise the sea level. You know, it's this whole thing
about acidification. Actually, there was a great article
written by you'll know that I didn't know who this guy was.
Eric S. Raymond. Now, if you don't know that, it's funny. He
wrote. He's kind of like the opposite of Richard Stallman. I
don't know him. Really? Yeah,
that's right. Well, I didn't know either until I saw the
picture. I'm like, Yeah, I guess he wrote. There's like two sides
to open source. There's the Stallman, which is everything
should be free, free, free. And then there's Raymond. Eric
Raymond, who says it should be open source, but you should be
able to make money on it. And yeah,
I'm looking at his picture. I don't think I've ever seen him.
Interesting.
He's also part of the VI versus emacs wars. And maybe he's more
like a Unix geek culture. I just don't know about him. I couldn't
really place a
picture of him when you you know, you go to Google and you
type in Eric S. Raymond. And out of the blue there's a picture of
him making out with some some woman good to see that picture.
He's like kissing some, some high hottie and have in a tight
blouse.
So the guy's got something going on. He's cross eyed. Like it's
funny. Bald. Yeah. You know, drop out, but it's done well as
the chat room knows him of course. So he wrote this article
hoping for the crazy which is about the Global Warming scam
and it's pretty it's short but it's pretty good. I put it in
the show notes you check it out. And
I guess if he doesn't engender enough hatred that I'll finish
him off well, I used
to a what he specifically points out is that the article is
titled hoping for the crazy and what he's saying is that the the
alarmist the warmest the the the global warming all in sciences,
the sciences in they are praying for El Nino. They desperately
want El Nino to happen this year because of course El Nino will
change the world's weather. It all does all the time. Yeah,
warms everything you get crazy, just crazy storms. And they're
praying. That's why he said the title the articles hoping for
the crazy. And then so that's, you know, it'll be interesting
to see if it pops up, you know, it's just gonna get worse.
Yeah, there was a thing on C span about six months ago with
it was one of those little meetings that one of the think
tanks, and it was a guy who was discussing computer simulations,
computer modeling, which most of this global warming fear is
based on models that don't pan out models that don't pan out.
And he discussed the danger he says this should this
apparently, it was unfortunate. The guy was a very boring
speaker. I couldn't clip anything. But his thesis was
these should never be used for policy ever. Because they're
they're just a it's a it's a crapshoot with these computer
models course.
But Have them and we've seen it with so many things. But right
at the top is the models that have been adjusted readjusted
that have been massaged that we had the climate gate emails and
avenues. So many people, it's for politicians, particularly
now they've put this 2030 date out there, which is the date
that we called on the shows that are just watched 2030 is going
to be that. And it's great because politicians can say
anything they want, and probably most of them won't be in office
by 2030, if some of them won't even be alive. So it's really
easy. It's really easy to just say stuff like that, and, and
you know, but big mistakes get made. And I'm also but on the
other hand, this is where I want to hear your opinion about how
it's completely political. I can also see a strategy and overall
strategy, which failed for Kleiner Perkins, by the way, but
let's make this myth or this not even the climate change is a
myth. But let's turn this into the economy. I don't know if it
can actually work. But if everyone was believing something
like this, maybe we could all be working towards that. And it
would, it would spin stuff up. And what do you think?
I think they had their opportunity. I think there was a
earlier in the climate change debate. I think they had more of
the people's will. And I think as opposed to the kind of what
you're observing, which is who cares? I think that was bigger
than when, in fact, Kleiner Perkins went all in on green
technology leaving town grow there as a consultant to help
them out. And they tanked all these companies, it was a
complete disaster. Yeah. I mean, they were essentially Kleiner
Perkins isn't even in the, you know, they're not even a player
essentially, anymore. They're, they're still the big name, but
they haven't made any money for anybody, as opposed to some of
the guys who stayed with tech, which is what they knew, you
know,
ampure Tech, even, even that barely.
And so they. So I think that that's past I don't think I
think these guys are living in the past. To think that this
this, any of this is going to work. All they're going to do is
they're going to screw things up to such a point that they're
going to have to eventually and this will mean probably around
2020 elect a Republican after Elizabeth Warren comes in and
makes the worse. She's gonna be the Jimmy Carter of this. Oh,
wow. She has she can just see it because please,
artists if you're thinking of making a Jimmy Carter or
Elizabeth Warren art, don't,
we're not gonna use it, don't gonna use it. Then when they get
back in and 2020, kind of the way Ronald Reagan did, they're
going to have to reverse all these policies. I mean, a lot of
these things go way out. And they just, you know, they take
over the place for a little while and kick some ass and get
these policies the best, you know what best they can,
although a lot of this will already be sending us down the
wrong road. But this is this is terrible. This is the living in
the past and this global warming thing is not going to pay off
for anybody. It's going to hurt hurt us hurt the country.
Something interesting happening is aren't doing any of it.
They're just going on their merry way. Oh, yeah.
Well, there China's something interesting happened, which I
find interesting for a reason that I've not seen discussed
anywhere in the mainstream, which is why I believe most
people listen to this program, often known as the best podcast
in the universe. So apparently, Eric Cantor, who was now once
he's going to be the speaker, what was his de la
now he was the majority, majority leader. Right. And he
were the Republican either speaker, if you know of Boehner
stands down, he would have been the next speaker. And
so arguably a powerful guy within the whatever the
Republican Party is.
Right. I do have a clip that kind of just sums it up. Very
good. Clip. Okay. Wiped out cancer wiped out.
Breaking tonight, a stunning development on this primary
election night. If you are just joining us, one of the most
powerful Republicans in Washington has just lost his
congressional bid to a tea party challenger, virtually no one
expected to win. Welcome to The Kelly File, everyone. I'm Megan
Kelly. The news breaking just a short time ago that House
Majority Leader Eric Cantor has been defeated by Dave Brat, a
little known and little funded. Political novice. Mr. Cantrell
was first elected to Congress in 2000, and became majority leader
in 2011. His opponent accused him of turning his back on his
constituents. Alright,
I don't give too much of a crap about the whole story except for
one angle. And I think that the narrative is being spun
purposely to say, well, it was about immigration or something,
did whatever it was, I have no i Do maybe, you know, who knows
why this brat guy won. But one thing we know is that he did it
with I think $200,000 in total. And
the joke is he spent about 120 of the 200. Right? He didn't
even spend it all. Eric Cantor had millions of dollars. I think
he had 2 million so and he spent 2.2 million he spent it all and
I
looked it up on opensecrets.org Koch brothers, apparently, no
matter how much money they have, they can buy the country. This
is not being talked about.
No, that's that is the overlooked fact. I mean, they do
mention it, they talk about it, but they don't really bring up
the simple point that you can't necessarily buy an election
because cantered got like 20 for all his money spent, he could
have just given people tenors, you're in our $20. Bill, he he
only picked up 25,000 votes. Yeah, total, in this district,
which I think as a matter of No, it's like a quarter of a million
or a half million people in the district, and or more. And he
gets 25,000 votes, the other guy gets 35,000, which is 10 more
for less money. And it was I think it either issue based or
there was a lot of talk radio, they gotta get a lot of error
free airtime on top.
I don't care. All I know is he did it with a 10th of the money.
And a lot of the other of the cancer money came from the Koch
brothers. So So anyway, everybody can now stop saying
the Koch brothers run the country,
you guess you can say that they should stop saying it. Yes.
And of course, I don't really want them to stop saying it
because you know, you lose the theme. I mean, honestly, it's
too much. Fun to play that. Meanwhile, what no one is even
discussed. Really. Two bills were signed into law by the
President
just stopped before you I just thought is the funny thing is
the way they portray the Koch brothers is
what you say, and I got to play it
conservatives. Crazy conservative maniacs, and this
tea party guy who's actually a professor at a college
university nearby was the conservative character that
would probably epitomize, it seems to me what the Koch
brothers would be for so so that even that generality doesn't
hold in this, you know, this just Koch brothers thing is
ludicrous.
Yeah, but it's fun to have an evil player, right? It's fun to
have
wars, their donation,
realized assets, really, the President signed two bills into
a law. And it was the Mr. Obama and Mrs. Obama. As we know, CNN
thinks that she signs bills into law, but she didn't do this one.
And the one that was of interest to me 182 pages hr 3080, known
as Rohde Gouda, the Water Resources reform and Development
Act of 2014. This is a very, very, very bad piece of
legislation. And I think we should be concerned as this
particular bill, and I've marked it, it's a it's a very heavy
one. I've marked it up and it's in the show notes as usual. It
includes a large loan guarantee hundreds of millions to cities
and states to create public and private partnerships for water
management, essentially privatization of public water
supplies. Exactly. Now that it's signed, it requires the Army
Corps of Engineers to solicit through the Federal Register
proposals from private corporations to regarding quote,
water resources development needs, including drinking and
wastewater systems. Now, this is this is very troubling. The last
thing, I think, even like Paris, you know, Paris would sell out
everything if they had to, but they, the Parisians themselves,
have gone into battle over privatization of their water.
You cannot allow that to happen.
Well, the funny thing is, it's a French company that's promoting
this.
They're so good at it.
We had a this situation is up in the Pacific Northwest where this
French company has moved in on the PUD and have brought in you
know, they meet with all these idiots that run these small
cities and mostly corrupt little operations. And they come in and
you know, show them a good time and have a slideshow showing how
much money you'd save if you use their services instead of public
services. And they're they're making inroads. This one
company, I have to get the name of it for the next show, get the
name. And they are a huge French conglomerate that does this.
And it's and I am really against this type of move. I don't care
who it is. This is this is something that a few things that
really should not be left to private companies. No. And we
French, French private companies,
and we exactly and we saw that in California. When they did
they took over the the power grid, and you had these Enron
guys that were, you know, controlling the flow of
literally the flow of energy. And we had these rolling
blackouts during the one of the administration's Democrat, great
Davis, the governor, we were stuck because the Democrats are
all in on that we're doomed. Oh, looks like for the rest of you
over this. We're gonna have to get used to it. We have to get
used to the rolling blackouts and brownouts every day, and
there's going to be a blackout there's gonna be a brown out.
And then they find it was a scam, huge scam. And that guy
was course was was voted out by a referendum by a recall
election, which is pretty embarrassing. He got voted out
because he was an idiot. And it was a huge scam and a scandal.
And there was no reason for these blackouts. It was just to
jack up the prices and screw the public. That's what these guys
will do.
So now we have this, you know, I guess. I mean, when we have like
public private partnerships, I mean, it's bullshit. They had
this in the Netherlands, when I lived there, you know, when I
had money? And I always had the Amsterdam government. Yeah, we
can do a public private partnership. What exactly does
that mean? Well, that means you spend all the money and you get
all the profits, and we give you the licenses to do it
exclusively. It was about a skating rink.
I want this. Yeah, it's giving, like elite legal monopoly. Yeah.
And that's, that's the problem we're having right now. People
are arguing about net neutrality when they should be argued about
why does Comcast own the area? It's funny you bring Warner Time
Warner, why does Time Warner own Texas?
Yeah. And what's the municipalities they've they've
made deals, anti competitive deals. It's funny, you bring
that up? Dave Jones, who does the whole freedom controller,
he's done all the programming, he was talking, he said, Systems
Administrator, of course. And he said, Oh, I just want to I wrote
down what he said, he said, you know, bandwidth that these cable
code that any broadband provider has promised is very much like
state pensions. You know, you just keep promising and
promising and then somewhere at the end of the day, everybody
wants their, their pension or their bandwidth. And it's really
not there. It's, you know, the promise is just the promise. And
when you look at the, you know, the wireless like LTE broadband,
which you get 50 megabits per second on that, why? Because
there's a cap on it. And people don't want to screw up their,
their billing and so they're, they're more conservative, and
it works. Without any legislation, and you know, that
it'll basically make the incumbents utilities. And by the
way, just the fact that they're LTE broadband providers means
you have alternatives. It's just people don't don't like to think
of it that way. Because they've been lied to about some
fictional flat pricing all you can eat. And just think about
it. You're gonna get these French guys running your water.
And believe me, prices will change. You can't leave your tap
open all day. Drinking my Netflix water, you can't do
that. Oh, it's gonna suck. So bad man when we get that. But if
they take the fluoride out, I'll be all for it. It'll be a plus.
drill a well, in some areas is illegal. Can't even drill a well
on your property.
Yeah, that is, what's it what do you think of these these
machines that take the humidity out of the air and turn it into
drinking water? You ever looked at those? Yeah.
dehumidifying. Yeah, yes. I don't know how much. I don't
think you can get that with Japan's. If you're a high
humidity area, you can probably get quite a bit of water out of
it. But he's like, Yeah, it'd be okay. It's
a good drinking.
desalinization is the long term solution.
You mean just taking salt water and they need a
new technology to do that. If you've ever you know, somebody
goes miss you. I don't know if it tastes any good to go if
anyone gets to go on a Navy ship. And they have a really
good modern de salud desalinization system on board.
A drink the water. It's absolutely fantastic tasting.
All right here is the commercial that the tweeters were full of
most emailed article. I don't know if if you saw the the
actual ad for this product but I think pretty much everybody who
emailed it to me provided a WTF comment of the bodyguard blanket
and put it in a newsletter.
Yeah, but did you see the commercial? No.
Just an ordinary day, parents are going to work. Children are
finding their seats in the classroom, turning in homework
and talking to friends. dedicated teachers like Amanda
Brown are calling the roll, answering questions and
preparing her students for a morning math test. Just an
ordinary day. That is, until now.
Attention attention. All teachers this is not a drill.
Shelter in Place you shelter in place. prepare your students for
a fully COPPA for the
last few years, parents, children and school educators
have been devastated by tragedies of all kinds.
Tornadoes have destroyed schools and caused the lives of boys and
girls to end before they've hardly begun. Families have been
overwhelmed with loss and sadness, and crazed gunman have
entered our schools prepared to kill our children and teachers.
glamorgan's occur our children are most often left helpless and
afraid. They are instructed to follow standard school practices
that depend merely on hope damaging weather, or those who
want to do you harm. Don't find them. Now,
this goes on for another minute. This is insane. It's a it's a
basically a bulletproof vest. That you that is in the form of
a big square blanket. You put you put over Wow. And it's 1000
bucks a pop. Yeah, no,
this is a ludicrous because if you look if you've seen any of
these photos, which are all over the net, and uh, you aware a guy
was like saying automatic gun or any sort of gun and you you
either pull off the blank and shoot the kid or you just shoot
on the floor and let it slide down and kill a bunch of them
you know, is ricochet or whatever I mean, this these
don't protect anybody unless somebody's firing into it.
Completely insane. But of course, all of this is sitting
duck with a with a big orange target on your back,
going dark. Orange, what's the point of that? It's I don't
know, it, just in case hunters are there and they don't want to
think they're a deer or something.
Just the whole thing and this commercial though. It's just It
does this really sell this product?
Not to me then sell to me now
we're not the zombies Well, anyway, this all of course comes
on the heels of what if you and if you look at it from a little
distance, and I actually did something interesting as an
experiment I locked myself out from all media for the entire
Tuesday. And then I cuz I knew stuff was happening. But I
jumped back into it Wednesday. So I got kind of a an
interesting view. An ag Tuesday last view. Yeah, an aggregation
of all of the commentary of the multiple shootings. Of course,
all of these end somehow in suicide or not or not sure. Or,
or we're not being we're definitely not seeing anything,
which is irksome at best and then you know, it's a suicide
and then it's not a suicide, but we have video where we can't
show you video now because you know, just like the Boston
bombing, it is a CNN actually. Let's see what brought a friend
here is learning
in Las Vegas Qiang, tell us about what you learn.
What do you learn? What did you learn girl? Well,
in this news conference, there were quite a few details. And
one of the most stunning was the surveillance tape that was
released. I want to explain what you're about to see, because
we're only going to play at once.
This is interesting. We're only going to play this once. So I'm
like, Okay, here we go. I'm recording. I'm ready to see it.
I want to be gratuitous about it. It's about 17 seconds long.
You're gonna be gratuitous and the video you're about to see
the two people who are identified as the gunman. The
man is Jared Miller. He's further away from the video
screen. Closer to the screen is his wife, Amanda Miller. They're
cornered in the Walmart. They have debris around them that
they're using to try to barricade themselves from the
police. Jared Miller has already been shot. Take a look at this
video. And what you're seeing is his wife lifts her pistol, and
she is holding it up to him. It appears that she is about to
fire and shoot him but she does not officer say you're not
looking at any weapons being discharged between these two.
She then turns a weapon towards herself. The video fades to
black as she shoots herself in the head.
Now hold on a second. I'm thinking what? You're only going
to show this once and that contains nothing. She She points
the gun kind of in his direction then it may be she's turning
around and fades the black. Oh, don't show to me again. Because
man, I might be shocked by that video. We saw nothing.
Why did police release this video?
Yeah, why not? Why?
It was such drama,
drama and create a story around it. That's the whole point of
video. They want people to understand that she did not
shoot her husband out as they first reported in their news
conference. And that officers initially did think that
happened because it certainly appears that way. If you're
looking at video, no, there is a lot of video evidence officers
say they don't want to release at all because it is so detailed
and so
violent. Again, why can't we see this? This is the same island is
it? It's only the same with Santa Barbara, did we see no, we
can't see the kid who got shot in the in the grocery store.
It's to know if you go on YouTube, you can see Syrians
shooting people in the head from behind. You can and every kid
has seen this. Back in the day we had fly reminds faces of
death. Remember that video face? My favorite.
I'm reminded of the 911 calls from Sandy Hook. Same thing.
Don't we can't play these and we got them and play them on our
show. Yeah, what was on there
was one teacher got shot in the foot. And a custodian was
running around saying custodian custodian.
It wasn't there were long clips. And there was no there was
nothing of any concern. Now, on those tapes, they hated sound is
this there was what was the point of that?
So let's go back further. The Boston the Boston bombers.
Where's the tape we
had even the governor of the state of Massachusetts has not
seen that video of the Sarnath brother putting the backpack
into the trash can. By the way. There was a it was a was it a
History Channel special, I think where they showed that video.
But it wasn't really that video, because in the left hand corner
it said simulation. There was it was kind of a composite they put
together made it look like it was really small on the left
hand corner. So whether this is true or not, we're not seeing
it. We're only being told about it now. And to this the I'll
just have to call it coincidence, coincidence, I
think not. Of Eric Holder two weeks ago saying that he was
enacting a domestic terrorism task force and team Time
magazine on the fifth of June publishing an article about the
how Australia did a big gun buyback after they had this mass
shooting. I'd like to think 28 people were killed. This is
going back 2006 Or seven I think. And of course Australia
doesn't have a constitutional right to bear arms. And then all
of these things just kind of start to play together. And we
get a number of a succession of messages from May MSNBC was I
mean, if they had more people watching would make a
difference, I think. But clearly they got some memo and you know
that here, we must do this. Some guy was filling in on the edge
show. I don't know who he is. But he just he laid it out plain
and simple.
Another neighbor said that Jared Miller spoke of overthrowing the
government often.
Jared was a very controlling man. Oh, he's wanting to talk
about overthrowing the government. How Obama is he's
disgusting.
I this is what we call a tea cup Television, where you hear the
voice over say, look at the tea cup and you see tea cup. So this
guy just said the neighbor said he want to overthrow overthrow
the government and then the neighbor says he wants to
overthrow the government. It's just reinforcement. It's how
reality shows are made.
See what I mean? You ain't gotta be a genius to figure out the
correlation between the two. At this point the motive of the
shooting is not entirely clear to law enforcement. officials
didn't say they believe the swastika was a symbol equating
law enforcement
this is another thing. So we have two cops shot dead point
blank range in a coffee shop apparently a A flag with the
Gadsden flag that Don't tread on me is thrown over them with a
swastika. Now, this isn't there's a lot of blood. A lot of
you know this. There's a lot of people around but not a single
video, not a single iPhone video, nothing, nothing on
YouTube, nothing, no flag picture, nothing. That's just so
peculiar
to fascism.
We don't necessarily believe that they are white supremacists
are associated with the Nazi movement. This is the cop
speaking. We believe that they equate government and law
enforcement, fascism and those who support it with Nazis
is now this is also knew that in a press conference, and before
any details are barely in that we have a police chief giving an
assessment essentially, of of two suspects who are dead, who
has no question. You know, the only people who's done any
questioning I guess is that is the media. So very interesting
that he's saying this,
that constant drumbeat from our neighbors to the right, who
consider government the problem and that the solution,
I believe he's talking about the Republicans who are constantly
de
legitimating and vilifying watch dealer de
legitimating. Baby. I think it's D legitimate,
legitimizing no legitimate tising de legitimatize
thing is not legitimating. We know that pretty from it the
problem in that the solution who are constantly de legitimating
and vilifying elected officials who are constantly holding those
who they disagree with in in the kind of most ridiculous and
disrespectful light. This is the consequence of your behavior.
Okay. And your belief. Oh, yeah, it's your fault Republicans.
Reports show this shooting may have been a show of violence
against the government. I think it's fair to call this event an
act of domestic terrorism. Having been a Muslim person, we
would have rushed to do so. Because it's an American
citizen. We are loathe to do so this, my friends is an
unmistakable act of domestic terrorism. All right. Okay,
terrorizing
the peoples. The peoples of the United States is Okay, so now a
lot of people get swing into action. This is now it gets
interesting. Ronan on MSNBC, this is the Sinatra kid.
You're spending too much time watching this network, but go
on.
We're the only developed country on Earth where this happens. And
it happens now once a week. And it's a one day story. There's no
place else like this.
The President is talking of course about gun violence, who's
speaking yesterday to tumbler q&a. Same day that a 14 year old
freshman with a semi automatic rifle shot and killed a student
and injured a teacher at Reynolds High School in orange.
One week after a t shirt a six year old man killed one student
and wounded two others with a shotgun at Seattle Pacific
University. And a little over two weeks after the mass
shooting near UC Santa Barbara left six dead four of them by
shooting. According to the gun control organization
everytown.org There have been at least 74 school shootings since
the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School killed 20
children and six adults
oh by the way that number 74 has been debunked everywhere but
it's less
while we're on the roll let's go to Democracy Now and play the
old Oregon Obama clip and hear that number again got it got a
small oh
it's throwing me off the small Oh,
it's not the only country that has
no no no you did you
this that's Oregon Obama clip.
Oh,
it's okay because I well, you have I have the I have the clip.
Okay. Oh, from Democracy Now.
I know I got no I got the I have the tumbler interview clip. This
is different. I've Oregon shooting Obama expanded stutter.
Well, I have Oregon shooting Alabama stammer, Alabama
stammer, Alabama stammer, Obama stammer,
it's not the only country that has.
And then we have expanded.
This is the whole clip with all the stuttering
it's psychosis.
Very cute. All right. So here is and it's funny because it's
exactly the same words and pretty much the same stammer as
the Tumblr interview. So he was doing a Tumblr interview with a
bunch of young uns and the tumbler guy who has David
whoever that is, with questions that were written down so no one
in the audience is asking the questions and it's about the
student loans, which is a huge scam, but AI itself. Hey, guess
what, instead of 10 years, you get to pay it off in 20 years,
but you'll pay more money
is a scam of those highest order.
Where's Elizabeth Warren now?
Now? You'll be all over that when you watch. Of course
someone
writes in with the question coincidentally about what do you
think about the shootings? President, we're the only
society we're the only developed country on Earth where this
happens.
So same words,
and it happens now once a week. And it's a one day story.
There's no place else like this. couple of decades ago, Australia
had a mass shooting similar to Columbine or Newtown,
okay, I'm sorry. That is bullcrap. There was not a
school. This was very famous event known as the so famous
that I can't find it in my show notes. I think 38 people were
killed. But this guy was running around for hours, go into
different places. And you know, there was it was not a school,
it was not children. It was people it was It wasn't bad. But
it was not like Columbine, or Newtown. Sorry, that is just not
true.
And Australia just said, Well, that's it. We're not doing we're
not seeing that again.
That's not exactly what happened.
It's not anything this is it's not exactly what asset class
Port Arthur massacre massacre. By the way, 1996 Martin Bryan
killed 35 people around Port Arthur and wounding 21 for being
caught by police the next day following an overnight siege.
Since then, there's been all kinds of crap going on. But then
they did a big gun buyback. So it's just not the same, it's
just not equatable. And the Australian people didn't just
say, in fact, gun ownership has not really gone down. If you
look at the numbers, it doesn't matter. Because if you if you
have this data, if someone is contrary into your view about
weapons and guns and having them versus not having them, you
don't even don't try to talk to them about it. It's It's
pointless, useless, and it won't work. But the facts are, that
the only thing that diminished in Australia was suicide. Less
people committed suicide because they didn't have a gun around
handy. And yes, I think, you know, less kids would kill
themselves with a loaded weapon that they found in, you know,
carelessly left about, but not necessarily less gun violence,
and there are still guns in Australia
and basically impose very severe, tough gun laws, and
they've they haven't had a mass shooting since. I mean, our
levels of gun violence are off the charts. There's no advanced
developed country on Earth that would put up with this.
And this various ways
exactly the same wording you used on the clip that was shown
on Democracy Now with all the stuttering Yeah. And he was
working, he was working and I was trying to memorize buys this
this before. With the stuttering that's when you hear him doing
all that blood Biblia In fact, it's outrageous amount of
stammering and that one, the regular Obama clip stamp
I also find it interesting that he says this your we're the only
only country in the world yet. We're also the only country in
the world that just killed 16 People with a fucking drone
yesterday and Waziristan. No one that is that okay? Yeah, the
whole thing is his fault. He's the moral leader and he's
killing Americans with drones. He has his drone lyses,
murdering people, for all practical purposes, five
servicemen and he's bitching about the the violence in the
country,
five servicemen, five servicemen were killed in Afghanistan this
week. Apparently by friendly fire just to make it worse. Not
a word about that. Not a word. So let's just let's just talk
about risk and reality here and what this really means. This is
really pushing fear into people. And of course, it sucks. This is
not good. I know. I don't have to pull out the analogy of how
many people got maimed or killed on our roads. In this week, I
think it's more people were killed in traffic incidents. You
know, this is just this is not coming from the same guy who
just killed 16 People militants, by the way, and Tali Bong, you
know, the guys who aren't really terrorists. So please, please
don't insult me with this bullcrap.
Now we have a different tradition.
No, no, it's not a tradition. This, this made me mad. It's not
a tradition.
It did make you mad. We have a different tradition.
It's called we have a different setup for our country. It's
called the Constitution. It's not a tradition. It's not like
Christmas, which is also being kicked out tradition.
We have a second amendment we have historically,
I think it'd be say, and these are the This is my first
tradition, is my freedom of speech. My second tradition is
my tradition to bear arms. Very, very stupid coming from a
constitutional lawyer.
Respect to gun rights. I respect gun rights,
respect gun rights, it's not gun rights. Do you I mean, this is
this has blown me away, John, this gun rights traditions.
But the idea that, for example, we couldn't even get a
background check bill in to make sure that if you're going to buy
a weapon, you have to actually go through a fairly rigorous
process so that we know who you are. So you can just walk up to
a store and buy a semi automatic weapon.
Which a revolver is a semi automatic weapon. I mean, it's
that's another weird thing, it makes no sense. Makes no sense.
Makes no sense. No sense now, now, just to piss me off even
more
until there is a fundamental shift in public opinion in which
people say enough. This is not acceptable, this is not normal.
This isn't sort of the the price we should be paying for our
freedom, that we can have a respect for the Second Amendment
and responsible gun owners and, and sportsmen and, again,
respect for the Second Amendment. Respect back for the
second amendment and responsible gun owners and, and sportsmen
and hunters can have the ability to, to possess weapons, but that
we are going to, you know, put some common sense rules in place
that make a dent at least in what's happening until that is
not just the majority of you, because that's already the
majority of you. Even the majority of gun owners believe
that. But until
you hear the tumbler Guy Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Even the majority of gun owners believe that. But until that's a
view that people feel passionately about, and are
willing to go after folks who don't vote in reflecting those
values until that happens. Sadly, not that much is going to
change.
Sadly, sadly, okay. So a lot of this is being driven by whether
it's, as Alex Jones would have you believe a false flag.
Because of course, you know, this, the one of these guys was
at the Bundy ranch and all this stuff, whatever, is being
politicized immediately by the mayor's against guns, which is a
pretty well funded operation. They go to work immediately. And
the My other favorite, the Southern Poverty Law Center, one
of the best funded nonprofits in the universe, they have $250
million in
cash, we can't even get 25 people to help us this show $250
million in cash. And I'll kind of play this in reverse order.
They've hired via Novo this not the Southern Poverty Law Center,
but the mayor's against guns. A via Novo is a PR agency, who
recently hired two years ago, Andrew Mitchell, Andrew
Mitchell, worked for the Department of Justice, and was
very instrumental in getting holder, a firm confirmed total
Democrat on the inside shill. And he's he's going out as some
expert not even being introduced as a PR spokes Hall. Just a guy
who's you know, he gets a lower third is Andrew Mitchell from
Villanova. Okay. And Andrea. Andrea Mitchell. I'm sorry. I
said it wrong. It's Matthew Miller. wanted to add that I
wrote, right, wrong here. Matthew Miller from the backup
backup. Yeah. So it's Matthew Miller from the Lenovo I'm
sorry,
again, Matthew Miller. Guy. Yeah. Got holder. Yes. And he
was with DOJ Mitchell in new hands because she talked to
Andrea Mitchell. My mistake
Okay, yes, thank you, Andrea Mitchell is who interviewed, but
without any setup of you know, he's a spokesman, none of that
oftentimes, the flames are stoked by by people with cynical
motives who gende them up for votes for ratings. And by the
time law enforcement can get involved, it's really too late,
either because there was no way to tell what they were going to
do, or in a case like Las Vegas, it happens after they're already
fatalities.
We certainly saw this all the way back with waco when Bill
Clinton was President. But to what extent and this is a
sensitive question, but I need to ask him to what extent was
this? Did this escalate? Because we have an African American
president, because there were so many racist. Yeah. Sentiments
interwoven with their Nazi sentiment, it's an act. It's a
very difficult question. It's hard to know anyone's particular
motives always, especially someone that carries out this
kind of activity. But the Southern Poverty Law Center, he
mentioned, has tracked that these types of anti government
groups have risen 800% since Obama took office. And if you
look at some of the rhetoric on the right, it's not all
motivated by race, Bill Clinton dealt with some of the same
stuff. And he's obviously a white man from Arkansas. So it's
not all race. But but for some people, it probably is oral.
Okay, so we got the 800%. And there we got this is racial
crime, although I don't believe anyone was African American who
was killed. And he specifically points out that the Southern
Poverty Law Center's tracking this 800.8 100% increase. Now, I
have a pretty good memory. And I believe it was less than two
months ago, we had a clip from Mark Potok of the Southern
Poverty Law Center, the $250 million in cash, NGO, nonprofit
thing. And he said something quite the opposite.
Let's first talk about the analysis here that you've seen.
This is two months ago on this very show in this reversal after
and we've talked and reversal paths, it seemed a year after
year, these numbers were ticking up after the election of the
first black president.
That's true. They weren't growing based very largely on
antipathy to Obama personally, and to what he really
represented, which was the demographic change that's going
on in this country. The coming over the next 30 years loss of a
white majority. That growth was absolutely spectacular for four
years. But I think what really happened
was a remember it dropped 19% alive when the
radical right so Obama reelected, after so much effort
on their part, as well as other forces in the political arena,
to kind of dethrone Obama. At this point, their reaction was
one of real deflation of dejection. They had done
everything they could they did not expect to see Obama
reelected. And yet he was. And at the same time, of course,
things like same sex marriage are advancing very rapidly. And
all of that I think, is really dismaying to these groups.
In your report, you identify what you say is, quote, Patriot
extremist groups. How do you describe or define those groups
that are on the decline, though,
so So remember, he had a report that said that all of these
patriot groups, hate groups, hate black groups, they were on
the decline? 19% This is what him talking two months ago. Now
he's back with broth with some new event and he's, I don't
think he quite remembers his own report. So what do you make of
this couple of Mark?
Well, they're quite something. You know, I think that they did
or at least he did. Tandur was at the Bundy ranch standoff, and
very much was a part of that movement, the patriot movement,
the movement that fit thinks the federal government is up to no
good.
This is so effed up
nefariously plotting to force us into a one world government and
so on.
Don't you dare to talk about it because you're gonna get
arrested son?
You know, one thing I don't think they were was white
supremacists. The swastika I think, almost certainly was
meant to say the police are Nazis.
This is exactly what the police chief said. So this is amazing.
Everyone has this similar analysis day on the day of
when you look at their writings, particularly his writings on
Facebook, he is on and on and on, about police being fascists
about them being Nazis and so on. But aside from that, there's
certainly nothing about you know, the Jews or signs of white
supremacist views. It's all about the government about
wanting to lay down his life for liberty. You know, just a day
before the shooting began his very last post
said which of course is proof that he wrote it I mean,
whenever it's on Facebook he that's proof it's a fact that
was written by him there's no doubt about it words
to the effect of a new day is dawning you know, we can only
hope that our sacrifices will be worth it. Come
on bro or some sort of pattern going Got here are just random
isolated events a pattern? Well,
you know, it's hard to say what is isolated and what is part of
a pattern. One thing that I think is pretty clear, Wolf, is
that the Bundy standoff in which the BLM and federal law
enforcement back down at the point of weapons.
Do you see where this is going, John? You see what the witless
thing keep it go out was
seen as a massive victory by the Patriot move victory. I think
that very large numbers of people 1000s, perhaps 10s of
1000s, or even more people saw what happened at the Bundy ranch
as a huge victory against the federal government, and perhaps
a kind of opening shot in the war that they all wish for and
wait for with the government.
Okay, apparently, let me just get this straight. These groups
which are diminishing, and which were completely demoralized, and
we're down almost 20%, because, you know, he got reelected, and
we might as well give up. Now, they've been waiting for a war
with the government. And, and this is the beginning. This is
the shot the opening salvo for the war by the patriot movement,
which by itself is me, Wow, what a way to take a word away from
you, you know, you can't be a patriot anymore. If you're a
patriot, you're now a domestic terrorist. This is very, very
concerning. You've been studying these
kinds of crimes for a long time. Is
there a rise in this anti government violence that we're
now seeing? Now? Wait a minute, we know that his report said
just two months ago, a decline of almost 20% across the board,
what will his answer be?
Yeah, I think there is I'm not sure I could prove it
statistically. But since
I think there is although I can't prove it statistically.
How about your own report Manama
appeared on the scene in the fall of 2008. We've seen a very
dramatic uptick in these kinds of things.
Is that amazing or what? The guy is lying about his own numbers?
His own numbers.
Yeah, you know, he knows he he'll get pulled back on the
show again, he's never got you know, these guys you got to get
a lot a lot of profile to get that kind of money. And so he
does, what he's expected to do. This is common on these shows.
You do what you're expected to do when you're the guest. You
know, the Jacobite stuff. Yeah. But and that's what he did. He
did what is expected to do. So Anderson contradicts everything
else. He said, Well, what so what is the way it goes
there? Well, I I can see the narrative being built. And what
I find interesting is I didn't pull any clips for some obvious
reasons. But the both MSNBC and CNN, we're bringing up Alex
Jones as the you know, he's the one world government guy. And
it's so obvious that they're all in this game together, you know,
and we knew that going in, it's like, of course, they pull the
clips of him yelling at Piers Morgan. It's like it's like the
perfect setup. We know it's supposed to be stupid that we
don't understand how this is working. I mean, come on. It's
borderline insulting.
It's well it's not borderline it
it is. So then the last two clips is a shorty which of
course brings us to another part of this so we have the we need
to remove ammo the President said that up in his continuing
clip there in the interview with the tumbler clearly people who
think there's something up with the government that trying to
bring them into a one world government or the New World
Order I guess is as what is our own politicians say? And of
course there's the war on crazy you know it's you're just not
Samantha Lisa is responsible for last week's deadly shooting it
SBU was charged today prosecutors will seek a life
sentence for 26 year old Aaron you borrow you borrow told
police that he had stopped taking his medication for
psychosis six months before the shooting because he quote wanted
to feel his hate
okay, you better take your meds slave you gotta take
because if you don't take your meds, Anderson Cooper will show
you what it's like to live with voices in your head.
I'm gonna put these earphones in there. I'm trying to do a series
of tests. Okay, so I'm now hearing sort of whispers and
voices in my head and the first test is number puzzles. Use suck
and they know it.
This is a whole piece of English isn't this Anderson Cooper is
going to show what it's like to live with psychosis. And he puts
headphones on this is a scientific test. They're talking
to him. Yeah, they're saying that he sucks and apparently
that's what his voice is saying. You suck. And then he's asked to
do some tasks, like walk around on the street and do puzzles and
fold paper.
Well he's got
yet So we get a mix of
people walk around listening to music on their iPads or I you
know I funny you
say that he brings this up this right?
Okay, so I did this test for three minutes and I did not get
a single one. It's very hard to it's hard to concentrate when
it's like music or something.
If V For God's sake, just listen to it.
It's very hard to it's hard to concentrate when it's like music
or something constant. It's easy but people talking to you it's
very difficult.
Shut up. Listen, I have been
waiting for people I know and I have be as mad as the little
earpiece where the producer is literally talking to him while
he is talking and counting them down into commercials and right
it's a skill it's a skill then handling questions all kinds of
stuff happens. And he's actually very good at this. Yeah, but Tom
Brokaw
is very Yeah, he is the he is lying to the public when he says
this is distracting him he is trained not to be distracted by
this sort of thing.
And he's saying that he's getting nothing right? But also
I like I like the what they've made up is like the voice in
your head is apparently saying you suck you're no good
all humans kill all humans Shut up. Shut up
back to the voices now but it's it's really distracting
environment Shut up common thing that the producers yelling your
ear. Yeah,
exactly. Shut up now. Do not touch that stop this is a
brilliant piece. This is like I could not make it oh well it's
in the shownotes the link to the video looking at and this is
edited believe me easy. You want to touch that?
I can't do this. But it just it's really hard to it's hard to
focus when kind of people whispering to you and talking to
you. Be that was he's on the street. And there's whispering
just come clear. With echo
Anderson kill broth kill brah.
Give me Give me yesterday's paper.
He asked for yesterday's paper to prove that he is now insane
from the voices for yesterday's paper. Yesterday's New York
Times? No.
It's really It's incredibly distracting on the street to
have somebody talk in your head and it makes you feel completely
isolated from everyone else around you. And you don't want
to engage in conversation with other people you kind of find
yourself wanting to engage in conversation with the voice in
your head because they're constantly
How about audio books? People must be must go on shooting
rampages, when they listen to Audible that shit should be
outlawed
talking to you and everything they're saying relates to things
that you're actually doing or criticizing things you're doing
it's like every somebody's taking a course watching you.
Your mother hates you Anderson commenting on what you're doing
and you had can't help it I literally find myself wanting to
kind of respond to them
you'll always be second rate Anderson wolf makes more money
than you
kind of tell them when to be quiet and it's it's incredibly
unpleasant. This is a very very unpleasant experiment.
Stand up now.
This is crazy.
And why does it have to be this kind of Long Island woman and
stand
up back up do this now I'll come I'll cut you off 20 3040 steamed
up now it's okay Anderson and pacify
and that just went on for hours and hours I the only clip two
minutes of it. He like five minutes of him walking around
trying to fold paper.
Anyway, this is the same messaging we're gonna have to be
stuck with this. Yeah, I'm afraid so isn't all the rest of
you know, there was something you mentioned in there. I want
to talk about for a second. Because there's some other
messaging going on and I couldn't figure out what it was
and I didn't do any.
It's okay to collect things. John. It's okay. I'll I've
already known that. So you mentioned the friendly fire
incident. Yes. So I have a clip from PBS. On this. I call it
peculiar PBS and the PBS is lowercase can visit
what is the what's the actual definition of that? out there's
friendly fire means that you, you know, there's a there's a
word they use for it.
They do there is yeah, I'll look it up. I'll look it up. Okay,
look it up. Anyway, I was listening to this report and
there was something very peculiar about this report. And
it was a there was somebody telling somebody something I
couldn't figure out what it was or why it was, but I but I'll
explain it after we play this sorry, which clip is it? It's
just the one that's got the PBS
in lowercase.
Again, forces were carrying out a clearing operation in Zabul
Province, which is one of the more unsecure provinces in the
country. And according to Afghan officials, when the troops were
on their way back to the base from this operation, they came
under attack by Taliban militants. At that point they
called in for air support, and the air strike apparently hits
the friendly forces killing five US troops in one Afghan force.
NATO and US officials have not officially confirmed that it was
a friendly fire incident they have indicated they're
investigating that however Afghan officials said the
airstrike hit the friendly forces again killing five US and
one Afghan troops.
So it's not confirmed but it sounds like the evidence points
to friendly fire.
Is it known what type of aircraft reports are that it was
a b one bomber so this is not an Apache helicopter or gunship or
something like that.
It's interesting because the the reports from the thali bomb I
believe were that it was helicopter gunships. That's why
he's dispelling that but the I don't know why there's some
discrepancy there. Well,
here's a couple things that I thought were weird one I've
never heard them ever asked a question like that. Right. What
was the aircraft? Yeah, well, that's
because never heard that. Yeah, that's because there's
discrepancy Yeah.
So he responds with B one bomber? I didn't know there were
b one bombers in that theater at all. Maybe there were tons of
them. I have no idea. But a b one bombers not normally, it
seems to me that kind of thing you'd call out. Because that's a
big plane. You know, it's like kind of like bringing in a b 52.
To just take out a couple rebels. So that doesn't make any
sense. I mean, if it does make more sense, it'd be a
helicopter. But what was the point of saying there was a b
one bomber in the area? I don't know. I just thought it was it
was out of the blue. It was a question I've never heard asked
before b one bomber came in out of the blue. I didn't know
anything about that. There's something weird about that
particular little exchange and I just threw it out there I have
no idea what it is. Maybe somebody can help us. So
I'm trying to I know I had a story about this which included
and hold on one second which included the word that I'm also
looking for the which the you know the friendly fire word. Oh,
I don't need to look it up here. And I do know that there's some
discrepancy that the Afghan whoever they were fighting was
at Taliban who was it that that was unclear
probably tally bungalows would it be yeah
that they said you know, helicopter gunships came in and
killed their own guys. And then for some reason, you know,
that's not the right answer. And we have to say the B one bomber
I don't know. I do know that. By coincidence, the Congress voted
to retire the weapon. It's called the Warthog. The a 10.
Right, which apparently is the most precise aircraft. Aircraft
is really really really good at doing this kind of stuff. Right?
So maybe that has something to do
like for carpet bombing Vietnam. Yes. B one bombers A is a high
flying.
Yeah, it doesn't seem like the kind of thing you engage for
that. So maybe it has to do with a 10 I think it's called
that's a possibility that actually might be it which is
why we can look at this these we killed our own men because we
got these clunkers up here that don't have any accuracy. And we
are in a tight fight. We need accuracy and the b1 Bomber can't
provide it. But you know, the Warthog would have? Yeah.
And I actually got a couple of notes actually got a couple of
notes from some of our military sources saying this is crazy.
This is this this thing is the is fantastic aircraft. And
they're retiring the whole thing. So and maybe that's
because they wanted me maybe they have to put in the b1
Although I I don't know
the B was not a new plane either. No.
But still, you know, again, that that would be politicizing
something horrible dead boys and girls. It makes me Yeah, it
makes me nuts. Thank you very much. Here we go. fratricide.
That's the word
fratricide is not the same as friendly fire um. fratricide
means you know you're killing your brother. Well purpose
I have an in news report being used as fratricide
it's a right it's the wrong word. It may be fratricide it
implies killing your brother implies purposeful it doesn't
imply an accident friendly fire just generally means Oh, I
didn't mean to do it. I mean, it was it was either incompetence
or whatever but you didn't go out to shoot the guy's not like
fried well, hold on a second a guy.
Words matter. CNN five American service members were killed in
southern Afghanistan when a coalition jet called in to help
ward off a Taliban attack mistakenly bombed them. I'm
looking for the word said Francis, hold on. Friendly fire
from the air. Here we go. The service members unit came in
contact with enemy forces. That's when the casualties
occurred. A US military official told CNN there is the
possibility that fratricide may have been involved.
Well then you know what, that well, that was on purpose. They
killed him on purpose just to get that warthog back in
service. I mean, based on our thesis so that using fratricide
in that sense means that that's a been telling the truth there
Wow. Um, you see, Wall Street Journal has the same code
tragically, there's a possibility that fratricide may
have been involved.
That's effed up let's take a look at their definition. Let's
get this straight by pulling up our our web browsers and looking
at fret
Holy Moly This is frightening when they say this stuff maybe
they're just telling the Absolute Truth and people are
gonna live whatever
fratricide from the Latin words fraught their brother and sider
killer a killing both from the Senate to kill cut down the act
of a person killing his own brother crime but here it is.
Here's a better one Merriam Webster, the crime of murdering
your own brother or sister. Wow. So fratricide means essentially
mean it was
not a mistake is what is murder. Murder is murder. Murder.
Killing someone is different than murdering someone murder
is, is the actual act of you know, the violent act of taking
someone else's life on purpose.
And there's no alternative definition. Here's the full
definition in Merriam Webster when that murderers or kills his
own brother, sister or an individual or countrymen having
a relationship like that of a brother or sister. The act of
fratricide is the act of practices. The other is number
two, ya know, the crime of murdering your own brother or
sister. Okay, wow. Yeah, there you go. Another one of these

people appreciate.

I was gonna say I look forward to the analysis we'll get from
our plethora of a panoply of military servicemen and women
who will weigh in on this.
I'm sure they will. And I'm wondering why somebody doesn't
you know, friendly fire is one thing. fratricide is another, it
seems to me
and it's from an unnamed source at the at the department. So
that means it could be made up
but to put it in there for a reason just for a little little
Zinger. insiders are gonna be involved in the story in some
way.

Yeah, play it.
I'll read it. From mark in Belgium. Hey, Adam. I've
listened to no agenda since episode one. And yes, I've
donated several times. So this always gets my attention. By the
way. I've been very interested in hearing you talk about the
slight form of Tourette's that you have. When you describe the
symptoms. I recognize a lot of that in my 10 year old son. My
simple question to you is, how was Tourette diagnosed with you?
And what do you recommend as a follow up or follow through with
our son? We already contacted the doctor who wants to redirect
us to a psychiatrist. Okay. Yeah. Exactly. This is, I think
it's important to read this one on the air. Okay, first of all,
Tourette's, which comes in many forms, and if he's just got tics
and stuff like that, it's, you know, it's not the yelling
profanities. It can go away.
And even if he had the yelling profanities, there's nothing
that psychiatrists can do about it. No,
do not. I mean, I'm not a doctor. But I do not recommend
going to a psychiatrist. Because the only thing that I believe
they will do is say, Yes, drug him. And that is not the
solution. In my case. My advice is to be very open about it, not
to hide it, don't ignore it, talk to him about it, about it.
Try and make it as open as possible. You know, like, like,
if you had a limp, you know, didn't like don't pretend the
person doesn't have a limp. And my experience is when it's
unspoken, you try to hide it and when you try to hide it, it
becomes worse because of course you can't hide it. And when
Yeah, I was you know, there you there was a special and it was
on PBS or Nova or something on Tourette's. I would like to
track it down because I think it was very valuable to me to, to
watch it. And I think it was long too. It's like two hours
and they talked about all these elements of Tourette's from the
most mildest to the worst. And I thought it was extremely
valuable to watch this. And it allows me to spot people that
have Tourette's and not think much about it, including that
poor bastard that was thrown off the airplane, which I've talked
about on the show before. And if you can get, I think, if the
family sat down, if you had Tourette's and the family sat
down and watched this documentary, I think you'd come
out of it just it would be
Is this the one where the one kid had a very severe version
that I'd never heard of before, and he would actually become
paralyzed up to lay down, but then he'd hit people in the face
was that the one was, I
don't remember that, I would have remembered that.
But you know, you can send him to a psychologist or a
psychiatrist and psychologist to different things. But you know,
if you can talk to the kid about what's going on, it'll make him
feel comfortable. You know, and I, you know, I really have no
other way to say it, then keep it out in the open, don't hide
it. And also, let him know that it's interesting. This is, this
is the thing that I learned. Several people told me in my
late teens, early 20s, you know, and I was, you know, it was kind
of like one of these unspoken things. And, and this person
said to me, no, I see that you've got, you know, twitches
and tics, but think it makes you look interesting. And, and I
always took that to heart because these were good looking
women. And believe it or not, you're interesting when you're
not like everybody else. And this is the same four versions
of you know, the, whatever they call this, the autism spectrum,
etc. Don't worry about it. Seriously, I still to this day,
have it's gotten much better, because I've become much calmer
about it. But I was on television with Tourette's. And
it was crazy. I was able to control it. But man, it took so
much out of me and once I kind of let it go. When you know,
when Mick Jagger says to me, you got a weird tick, but it's kind
of funny. With a new English accent. That's when you're
living. Yeah, Mick Jagger thinks I'm interesting.
Name Dropper? Yeah. All right.
So, um, you know, don't, don't sweat it. But be very careful
and be very wary of medication. The only thing you know, it
helped me in some ways, you know, when he's older, if he
wants to smoke some weed to relax, but I don't think is
necessary. I think there's no drugging or an exercise is
necessary. Just keep it open. Keep talking about it. And this
age, it very often just goes away. Let me do the jobs.
carnamah. John, before we before we write
jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs, let's go for jobs. Karma
yoga, yoga.
I want to bring people at least up to speed on what's going on
in Iraq. Okay, there is a we're just about done with this.
Nobody's talking about this, except they didn't bring it up
on PBS. And they had a very interesting person come on and
describe what's going to go on. She is a woman called Kimberly
Kagan. And she heads them something called the war
Institute. Don't tell me she's she's not related to Robert and
and I know, I couldn't find a relationship. Okay. But this
play, there's two clips I have one of them is the Sunni move in
Iraq. And I want to play that first and then follow up with
Kimberly Kagan, why there was a lot of material that they
played, but as far as I'm concerned, Kagan's probably got
the right take on this and this is something we have to expect
to happen either in Mosul or any other city.
But Maliki Shiite led government has largely failed in
reconciling with Iraq Sunni population, the Islamic State
has taken advantage of the breach. The Sunni extremist
group previously took over Fallujah and parts of Ramadi, in
western and central Iran. It's also a principal combatant in
Syria's civil war, but has fought against other rebel
groups, as fiercely as many of its units have fought against
the army of President Assad. The group's ambitions there have led
to a rupture with alkaitis core organization, which sides with
the Syrian rebellion. The attack on mozal now threatens to draw
nearby Kurdish forces into the fighting as well. Emergency
emergency Dr. Dvorak?
She is directly related to her brother is Robert Kagan. Okay,
there we Victoria Newlands husband, and of course Frederick
Kagan is okay, so she's a neocon.
And, and she She's being a neocon would have his
perspective on this because they're trying for this to
happen, or they want to stop to have this situation what they
call the ISIS group or ISIL. ISIL. Yeah. Or is is that
there's actually two. The last word is some one of them starts
with an S one of them starts with a nail and you get to pick
either one. And they like to say ice as we like to say ISIL. And
I think there's some symbolism to that, whatever. He's
also a Yalie Yeah, no, she
is a hotshot
She's. She's married to Frederick Kagan, fuck me. Okay.
Oh, my God.
She is oh, she's, she's in the thick of it. Yeah, so to speak.
And so she's on here. She's a little weird. She's, she's kind
of like, she's a little like, she's like a giddy character.
She's very strange. But she outlines what I think is going
on and was not being decided. I said, it's not being discussed.
There is an emirate actually forming. This isas group is
note, there's not a bunch of slouches. They've actually
formed an arm. It's not a terrorist operation. They went
into took parts of Syria, and they're going to take parts of
Iraq, as she as Sunnis. And I think what she describes here is
exactly what's programmed and what's going to happen.
And before I listen to this, the ISIL this just came in this
morning have abducted the staff at to the Turkish staff in
mozal. So they're so this is an anti Turkey outfit. Yeah, that
would make sense. Because they're Sunnis. You said,
yeah. Okay.
So Kimberly Kagan, let me start with you. The we know these
insurgents have been creating havoc for some time launching
attacks. How important is this particular attack taking over
the city of Mosul. This
attack that the Islamic State of Iraq and Shan or the Levant has
launched on Mosul is incredibly important, because it is the
beginning of a campaign and a push beyond Mosul, into the
areas toward Baghdad, that the Islamic State of Iraq wants to
govern. It seeks to establish an emirate or a state and govern
terrain inside of Iraq, as well as governing the terrain inside
of Syria and raka where it has announced the beginning of its
emirate, I believe mozal will be its new capital
mozal where they just kidnap the Turkish embassy staff. Right.
Wow.
Something is up.
Okay, so now, she is from the fpis, the Foreign Policy
Institute, which is what the Kagan's are in now, that's their
new, that's the
UI is actually from something at the beginning of her thing. They
announced that she is actually the head of this other
operation. She's the top dog at this research center. Let
me take a look. Current Position, a battlefield
circulation, CENTCOM? Wow, she was at CENTCOM.
Yeah, she's, she's a heavy duty. Little girl.
She Yeah. doesn't serve in Kabul, she was within the
crystal Institute
for the Study of war. Look up the Institute for the Study of
war. That's what she runs. Okay. She's part of the other things.
Of course, the AIs are not,
holy crap. Okay, so let's look at this. This is very
interesting, John, glad this is good. So we have. So what
happened is that this ISIL, or whatever they call it, this is
where the fighting from Syria moved over to eastern part,
which is really western Iraq. And this is where this group has
been hanging out, and then moving up. They're collaborating
with the Kurds. And they're fighting with the Turks. I mean,
what is what does this look like to you? Especially when these
people are interested in it?
I think it's the beginning of the end for the country known as
Iraq, and is going to be partitioned into a series of
smaller states called Emirates. Right, very similar to the
United Arab Emirates, which is a series of states with an over
with kind of an not as an important to oversight governing
body, right, because the Dubai people do not necessarily work.
Have anyone tell them what to do? I think and I think this is
the first and it who's whose idea? This is I'm not sure.
Obviously the Kagan's would be involved, or the Neo cons. The
idea is to is to take create this emirate and then stabilize
it. Show that this can be done and it's going to trigger the
same thing in Kurdistan area will form and that's why you
have to have turkey on your site because the Turks do not want
that At No, because courage want part of Turkey too. And so
you're gonna see a lot of crap going on. And this is just the
beginning of it is not being well covered by any means. But
it's going to get. I mean, it's the only way it's going to
stabilize Iraq, it's going to, eventually it should because
these little operations will be self governing.
I'm putting this her wiki page into the show notes.
And then about, about the element dimension, some city in
Syria, those are mozal. Now Mosul in your rock?
Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. What did they What did she mention?
And there's a little city called rock or something like some
crazy little town. And I wanted, we may have to play that again
or somebody because I wanted to know if that had anything to do
with any pipelines
on us as it was in the second clip.
Yeah, it was in the 60s.
So Kimberly Kagan, let me start with you as we have it for some
time launching attacks. How important is this particular
attack taking over the city of Mosul. This attack
that the Islamic State of Iraq and Shawn or the Levant has
launched on Mosul is incredibly important, because it is the
beginning of a campaign and a push beyond Mosul, into the
areas toward Baghdad, that the Islamic State of Iraq wants to
govern. It seeks to establish an emirate or a state and governed
terrain inside of Iraq, as well as governing the terrain inside
of Syria in Raka.
Raka raka
Yeah, this has got to be of course. Hold on, Rocco. We think
it is our aka.
I don't know. Let's take a look. Is
it Syria or is it Syria? Syria? Syria? Yeah, this is going to be
the Islamic Yeah, our raka are a CCA. So I have our a QQH, which
I think is probably well, it could be the way I can spell an
okay, so let's do add the word pipeline. That's how I do it.
It's how I do it. People. Yeah, there you go. It's the Kirkup
bony us pipeline, crude oil pipeline from the Kukoc. Oil
Field in Iraq to the Syrian port. Yeah. Yeah, I'd say that's
pretty important. So the question is, yeah, this is part
of the whole pipeline pipeline Eastern War man, this is this is
this is it? Ah, this is this is what Qatar does not want. This
is exactly the opposite. This is this is getting oil into the
Mediterranean. when really we want it to go through Turkey
from Qatar or Qatar or however you want to pronounce it. Yeah,
that's that's all that it's
about. One of the things that they kind of mentioned she guys
give a crap about religion, screw that. Oil under this. One
of
the things she mentioned was, well, if you're going to start
an emirate you want to have Emirates are known for having a
lot of oil. Yep. So if you're going to start when you grab
these pipelines, and you just start making money, but one of
the things she mentioned was the that this group, ISIS or ISIL,
when either one I like ISIS is easier to say, than ISIL. One of
the things that she mentioned was that they were fighting
against al Qaeda. There were also one of the insurgent groups
or one of the groups in Syria fighting, but they were fighting
against that when they ran into other rebels, they would take
them on right as though they were the government. So they
were not cooperating with whatever scheme was afoot. That
was set up by Qatar again, and Turkey and whoever else was
supplying arms. They were a separate operation, and they
were not putting up with any of it. And this is going to be this
is going to be a big deal. I don't see this falling apart. It
doesn't it just as big as 15,000 Soldiers already the big 10
bucks, the Russians will be helping them already, of course.
And so this will be a very, dis will be something that's going
to blow up probably in a month or two. So if you finally get a
clue,
yeah, if you look at so if you look at Iraq, if you look at the
pipeline, you see the pipeline goes from Iraq or Raka. West,
without even looking at the map, just guess which town it hits.
Next?
It'd be Hamas, Aleppo, Aleppo, Aleppo, Aleppo, right. Right, of
course. Now, these are all
this is all about. Well, there's an interesting article, this is
from Al Jazeera. When was this published?
So this thing begins in Kurt caique, which will be in there
territory took as they were moving. She said from mozal,
which is up north, near the Kurdish area, or in the Kurdish
area, they mozal down to Kirk Cook is halfway to Baghdad, and
she mentioned that they were pushing forces toward Baghdad,
but they probably weren't going to take over Baghdad.
Okay, so this, this has everything to do. This is this
is, thank you for finding this, this is truly what it's about.
So Turkey is involved in this, Russia is involved in this. This
is the $10 billion deal that was struck between Iran Iraq and
Syria, for the pipeline from east to west, to get into the,
from the south Parkfields Kirkuk into the port. And then, of
course, the market is Europe, through the Mediterranean, you
know, either ship or whatever. So, of course, you know, we
start to mobilize Syria, but that's kind of failed this. This
is where I think it's interesting to see that okay,
now that now they're shoring up the next part of the pipeline.
That's the way I see it. And you gotta wonder who who is playing
where, because this is really an alternative for not just Iran,
but for Russia, who got clinched off in Ukraine? Right, so the
Russia could be more involved in this than we know.
They could be behind it for all Yeah, yeah, of course, there.
Although I would think that Kagan, with her connections, she
would have said something. If that was the case. I mean, it
doesn't mean that they're not sympathizers in some way, shape,
or form, or they have something to do it. But it seems to me,
she would have said something,
the client, but the question is, who side? Is she on? I'm not so
sure that the Kagan's and the Neo cons are on America side. I
don't think they give a crap.
Yeah, you might be right. And she would then just ignore that,
or ignore putting that forward because forwardness I'm like,
what, how would How beautiful is it? You've got one Kagan in and
covering the pipeline from Iran, the Iran Iraq, Syria pipeline,
you've got another KAIGAN I'm sorry. Nudelman. Blowing up the
pipeline in Ukraine, it's it's the family is doing some
business here. How crazy is that one little arrest these people?
They must be stopped. Yeah,
they shouldn't be these people are
horrible. Look at the the Kagan family, the brothers, the
spouses must be stopped.
At all costs. They're on a
roll. The the Kagan's we need a jingle for the Kagan's the Koch
brothers and nothing compared to these people.
Well, the Koch brothers are just they just money bags. That's all
there's just, you know, financiers. They don't have
anything to do with anything. So I'm just wanting to keep track
of what's going on or they'd be listening to our show.
Yeah, I'm also putting this in the show notes. All those guys
are old school. They do love one day someone will wake up and be
like, hey, wait a minute. People aren't listening to the NPR
anymore. This and all these other things? Very cool. Yeah.
Institute for war. I'm looking at that. And what does she have
on it?
That the Institute for war? Although it should
be sorry. Yeah. It's funny. It's the Institute for the Study of
war. But yeah, you might as well just call it that. And what does
she have right up front? Yeah, ISIS. There you go. The ISIS
battle plan. Okay, so she sounds like she's on the ISIS side like
she's in that camp.
Well, the way she sounds when you see hear her is she's very
matter of fact, about mozal being the new capital of this
emirate. Yeah. And I also think it's interesting that they call
it an emirate rather than a den of beginning a caliphate or a or
a splinter, or, you know, what would you call when just take
off a chunk of the country is called some partitioning, or any
of these other terms. I never heard anyone say this is use the
emirate word for this sort of thing. And I think it is genius.
Dr. cubics. Dr. Kimberly, I'm reading from her website, Doc.
This is by the way, ladies, gentlemen, this is I think the
only program in the world that can do this. Just throw
everything off and let's do some analysis. Right here you're
witnessing it as we go. Dr. Kimberly Kagan founded is w the
Institute for war as I call it in May 2007. As US forces
undertook a daring new counterinsurgency strategy to
reverse the grim situation on the ground. Iraq, frustrated
with the prevailing lack of accurate information documenting
developments on the ground in Iraq, and the detrimental effect
of bias reporting on policymakers, Dr. Kagan
established is W to provide real time independent and open source
analysis of ongoing military operations and insurgent attacks
in Iraq. General Jack keen, US Army retired the chairman of ice
W's board also played a central role in developing the
intellectual foundation for this change of strategy in Iraq and
supported the formation of the institute in 2007. So what does
this tell you?
Well, I'll tell you that this is well, this is very much like
when those Rubicon operations by the way, but they were part of
their essentially developing policy to to continue the
realisation process. What are you reading into it?
Well, this is this is what? So it can only be a couple of
things first, maybe she's on the side. Maybe she's on the Russian
side, for all I know, I am. But it doesn't seem that way. If you
keep it in the family, where we want to rub allies and create
more war. We've got I would think that she wants to stop
this pipeline. And that, therefore, she's reporting on it
trying to get some traction and get some action going. You know,
of course, we're now I guess, officially out of Iraq.
Oh, that's an interesting theory.
You know, if she wants to be a coach today, this piece
verbalized failed Syria in Syria? Well, it's rub alized.
But it's not like Well, yeah, go ahead.
Well, it's possible that these guys are you know, we had to do
a little more research into this ISIS group. And I think once we
do that, well, it will come to us. It's possible that they want
to get these guys to take if these guys take over part of
Syria, because I don't think Assad wants to give a piece of
his country. And I don't think the Turks want to see, the Kurds
get involved in creating their little country themselves, which
they'll take a chunk out of Turkey, they don't like this
idea. No. So there's something about taking a chunk out of
Syria. That's the giveaway, that kind of says, This is not
something the Russians would agree to, because the Russians
are all in on Syria, and they'd have to be all in on not letting
Syria give away a chunk of his own country. Now, it couldn't be
this. So it couldn't be an attempt to stop that pipeline.
Well, I think they're not in with Turkey, though. And turkeys
are one that would be going up. They're away. No, no,
no, no, no Turkey. The idea the dispute is Turkey is supposed to
get the oil from Qatar. That's that's the pipeline that goes
from Qatar, in the south through Syria, up to Turkey. That, that
that's the real dispute of Syria, to not have the Russian
Iranian pipeline running only to have the, you know, the US
coalition, I guess, Qatari pipeline going up. And that is
that is should be replacing Gazprom coming through Ukraine
into Turkey. So Turkey Turkey is screwed no matter what, believe
me, okay, here we go. They got a problem. Here's a headline, they
got $1.7 million in income this, this group of Ms. Kimberly
Kagan, I'll see if I go ahead. You talk while I'm looking at
that. And
I'm just gonna say here's a here's a report, Qatar and Saudi
Arabia, reportedly funding and funding and sponsoring ISIS.
There you go.
So that is a thwarting of the Iraq or the Iran Iraq, Syria
pipeline. Stopping it right there stopping it. So screw
Aleppo, let's just cut it off. Earlier in the in the chunk. In
the in the in the process,
to loot gem mozal Now to crit is under control of ISIS. It's the
most serious threat that Prime Minister Malik Malik Malik
uutta. You know, there's al Malachy Maliki, Maliki the Iraq
the Iraqi guy has faced since the worst days of the Iraq War,
the nightmare scenario for the US troop pull out that would
leave the government vulnerable to take over by extremists now
appears to be coming true. Wow, Iraq has turned to the US for
more aid. But the 20 billion Washington has already poured
into training and equipping the security forces doesn't seem to
have accomplished much.
You know, what the what the the fallacy of all of this is that
if someone explained to the people of the world that fossil
fuel fossil fuels such as oil and gas are the entire reason
for destruction, despair, death, destruction, war, globalization,
people would be on wind power and solar power in a heartbeat.
Instead of this bullcrap climate change, using climate change to
like sway them, how sad is that and that overall economy
we get so we're so deep into it. I don't think we have I don't
think is that it's non trivial to get. I think that's the
reason. Well, yeah, because it's so I mean, we're so deep
with it. But the joke of it is the same people who are saying,
oh, climate change, we got to get up. They're not they're not
true. They're not truthful. They're, they're dishonest.
They, it's like, Hey, you go over here, you play with your
little solar cell, whatever. Meanwhile, we know what you
really need. You can't live without our fossil fuels. And
we're gonna go kill a whole bunch of brown people who live
in Sandy regions to make sure it's our oil and not pouvons
oil.
Bucha was making too much money. And then they took over gas
prom, we can't have that.
It's Oh, man. But you know, so the people who heard this show,
congratulations, you are now enlightened on what's really
going on? That was great. John, I can't believe I missed a Kagan
I thought I'd gotten them all. And who knows? There may be
more. Let me see. Is there more Kagan's
now there's probably a bunch of track them all down. We'd find
all kinds of good stories.
They're all Yalies though, that's for sure. Yeah. Which and
that's where Carrie comes from, and where Bush comes from, where
their secret societies. There's also that war, you know, Yale
versus the Harvard's, and there's a lot of weird stuff in
the world. Anyway, I think the good news is, we break it down
for you. You feel much better. I just have one more topic just
that I got to get into. All
right. And I want to say at the end of the show, can you play
the extended stutter clip just one more time?
I'd be more than happy to in fact, I'm going to line it up
right now. Don't
get played at the end? No, no, I
will, of course. Common Core very interesting what's
happening. I don't know if it's going to make a dent or not. But
a number of people in the media are starting to catch on to the
scam. That is Common Core. There's actually a very good
piece from Pando daily. who revealed that the Gates
Foundation financed specifically PBS educational programming,
which promoted the interests of Mike Microsoft in conjunction
with common core, which is pretty big. Pearson It is now
being recognized and analyzed and written about the the
Pearson of course, is the educational publisher of the
world British company wouldn't have like 80% of all of all
educational publications, they bought
every company they could and now they kind of are very,
essentially, a monopoly.
So the players are the players are Pearson. And if you've
listened to any reports about you might have caught something
on NPR probably, that, you know, all this all the material has to
be the new material for common core that everyone has to get
new textbooks. And of course, they're not really books
anymore. They fit on your tablet, which is obviously meant
to be manufactured by Dell, as far as I can tell and run on
Microsoft platform. And this is being written about as well.
Oklahoma has withdrawn from the common core standards, South
Carolina has withdrawn from the common core standards, very good
rundown in the shownotes under Common Core about Jean Wilhoit,
who set this up with with Bill Gates, and who kind of
immediately retired. And he is actually now Consulting at the
University of Kentucky University, University of
Kentucky College of Education. But he he and Bill Gates set all
of this up and there was actually Jean Weil, who pitched
this to gates Avenue as a great backstory about that and said
like, man, you got to got to do this education thing now. The
Washington Post.
Now, by the way, just to interrupt, please, I have seen
gates confronted about this since various kinds of moments
where there's being interviewed, and he has completely baffled by
it, that there's controversy.
I have three clips from the Washington Post. I did a very
good expose a I think about the Common Core and the Gates
Foundation's involvement. It's a good read. From that comes
another article, it says time for Congress to investigate the
Bill Gates who said there's a little bit of noise and I agree
with you, as we as I said before, Bill Gates, he believes
all this. He really I think he really believes If he's doing
good that he really believes is the way to go. But it is so
corrupt. And he, you're I think he's baffled. So here is,
unfortunately the Washington Post only did the answers and
didn't have the they put the questions kind of on a lower
third, which is weird or in mid screen. Question one for Bill
Gates, does he have too much influence now over the K 12?
Over the educational system, because of his involvement and
his funding, direct funding of Common Core,
we fund people to look into things, we don't fund people to
say, Okay, we'll pay this. If you say you like the Common
Core, we've never done anything like that we do evaluations. Let
me just stop. Well, if those things go well, which some do
some do not, then we create more options. But you know, our voice
is not there when the final choice of what to scale. Oh,
your money.
That's a governor, a superintendent to us, a school
board who decides all those things?
I don't know if he doesn't read? Or if he doesn't look at where
his money goes to he's, he says in the beginning here, we don't
we just
want people to look into things. We don't fund people to say,
Okay, we'll pay this. If you say you like the Common Core, we've
never done anything like that.
Except for let me see the Common Core communications
collaborative, which you pumped $6 million into, to communicate
the Common Core? Yes, of course, you find people to promote it.
That's a lie. Lie number one. Number two, why you didn't why
you didn't like that? Hmm, yeah. That's a yes. This is this is
kind of the main question. Is he doing this for his own financial
gain? You know, for I think he's Does he still own a little bit
of that? That Microsoft company? I've heard that, yeah, it might
own a little bit of that, and maybe own some stock and some
other things that might benefit? We don't really know it. I mean,
yeah, he owns stock in the Corrections Corporation of
America. He's willing to bet on anything.
I hope I can make this clear, I believe in the Common Core
because of its substance and what it will do to improve
education. And that's the only reason I believe in the Common
Core. And I have no, you know, this is giving money away.
And how did you hear? Did you hear him correct himself. He
wanted to say I had no financial no gain or whatever he was going
to say. And he steers away from the direct lie of I'm not going
to benefit from this. I have no only
reason I believe in the Common Core. And I have no you know,
this is giving money away.
I wonder what he was going to say, John, what? What do you
think he was going to? Yeah, he's
gonna say he's gonna lie. Yeah, this is gonna do in me, I'm not
gonna make any money from this deal.
This is giving money away.
giving money away. This isn't
giving money away, by the way. Oh,
what does he do? He gives
money with strings attached. You got to do something. He's not
giving just giving money away. What do you hear, hear, say,
take a few bills. He doesn't do that. I think he's putting like
giving money away. I
think his total bill so far is like $250 million in the Common
Core. That's a lot. That's a lot of Benjamins boy. Anyway,
this is philanthropy. This is trying to make sure students
have the kind of opportunity I had.
It wasn't a draft. Oh,
yeah. I dropped out of Harvard. Okay. Yeah, great
opportunity. What does that suppose to me? 12 more seconds.
You. There is nothing. And it's it's so almost outrageous to say
otherwise. And my view?
Yeah. And your view of the world bill? Not a good answer. Not
well done. But he he is right. He's baffled why people think
I'm bad. What? Well, then the
giving. I'm good. That's why he used it a phrase I'm giving
money away.
Shut up. I'm giving money away. Well, I'm
giving money away. What how is that bad? Yeah,
well, why don't you just throw it here? Just fly over and throw
it down on on Travis heights. I'd be very happy.
Yeah, no, he sees it. That's what he sees. He's actually sees
himself as his great benefactor who could do no wrong, of
course, and he's giving money away. How can it be a bad
person? He's just giving it away. There's no just thrown
away. We will have Why am I a bad person for doing that? It's
philanthropy says that too. He's mentioned philanthropy. But then
again, is philanthropy for Common Core i You know, it says
there's it's not straight philanthropy, will you give them
it? Let somebody else spend it any way they want. You're
directing this money. Have you seen direct funding?
Have you seen the teaching channel? No, which is another
one of the Bill Gates funded promotional arms of common core
teaching channel.org. This, this also runs on local television
stations. But the of course, I think the web is more
interesting. It's just filled with videos about the Common
Core and about how it's supposed to work and, and it's for
teachers, and
somebody sent us a video of how to multiply 11 times 23. That
was like, What are you, you can do that in your head? 11 times
anything. If you can't make that multiplication in your head,
then you're an idiot. But there was like this convoluted bullet
boxes and boxes, then you're supposed to do this, and you
subtract one from 11. So it's, and why didn't you do this? I
don't
know. I don't know if I have that. I don't think I received
that. But I do have. Let me see what is this? Oh, I'd have to do
on the other computer. Fraction manipulatives. The hell is that?
I don't I don't know. I know I should prepare that better. I'll
look into some of these crazy teaching channel.
Some of the real whack job ones it will just run though
it's a lot of a lot of money is going into that a lot at the
sea. Some are waking up to this well, and Washington Post is
nice. And here's the final one. Because of course, we all want
to know is like, well, are your own kids in Common Core? Yeah,
that's the question. It's a good question. Is it not?
I'd say it's the top question.
Yes. I expect my kids to know a superset of the Common Core
standards.
Okay, so the answer is actually no. The school that his kids go
to private schools that do not adhere to Common Core standards.
I have to share the links in the show notes. The answer is no.
But he says yes, I expect them to have a superset of the common
What the hell is that? A superset? Can my kids get the
suit the superset bill or is that only for your kids? What is
that? Yes,
I expect my kids to know a superset of the Common Core
standards at every single grade involved. I expect them to have
the reading skills. above what the reading and writing skills
are on the Common Core standards. So absolutely. I
don't see, you know, who would not want that
to be better than common core? Yeah. He just said his kids will
be better than Common Core superset.
Yeah, well, here we go. This man, we're gonna Yeah, he's a
big reason is a menace.
He also needs to manage the education he needs to be
stopped. He's a menace to a lot of things. But the Did you read
that Washington Post article?
Can you know? Okay, I will.
Yeah, I'll read it's it's really quite, quite excellent. Can't
imagine that kind of little dinner to meditate as these
people have as they, they feel that they're above everyone
else. I have some thoughts on this, by the way, and I'll talk
about in the next show. Well, can you give us a little more I
believe and lift lift up a little bit. Yeah, I can pull up
play a clip and that this will be this will be the teaser.
Okay. And this is like think about I was thinking about video
games and all there. You know, people think they're teaching
kids violence. I think there's video games are dangerous. Now
I've come to this conclusion. And I think so is because not
because of the violence or any of the or even the gameplay, but
of the propaganda that is pushed to the public via the games. No
age or major moments again, and I think that we're gonna elect
to press a female president. I think a lot of it will have to
do with the princesses powers that Nintendo has on their new
game. I watched the Nintendo press.
Kids are being indoctrinated to have a female president through
Nintendo and the princesses powers.
Just I just said this is this is a world you you you absorb
yourself into and you will play this princess clip. Princess
powers Nintendo archive. Okey dokey. You want to fight too
late? I'm no stranger to fighting. Have you forgotten
that time we fought each other?
Sure. That was when the chaos skinheads wandered mind control.
Anything in anything to do a gun do better. Perhaps you'd like us
to protect you. Explosive rocking on reticle.
Black Hole Nature you don't have to prove anything to me with
Palatina. Angels many worthy souls have gathered here. And I
won't hold back on anyone. Wow,
this is all Japanese propaganda. Now the Japanese in their game
plan A is a very interesting, I think it has sociological
effects on the American public. I think the the vision we have
right now with the Democrats and the Republicans is part of this.
And it's getting worse the way they're showing that, you know,
there's no agreements on anything and you listen to MSNBC
and these guys go on and everything's the Republicans
fault even when you had AMY GOODMAN talking about the
Bergdahl thing she said the Republicans she said all the
Republicans objected there's a lot of people that didn't like
this Bergdahl deal there were Republicans and Democrats,
right. But you start looking at some of the stuff that they
propaganda is dies you with, for example, this new game coming
out, and I only I wrote this down from the subtitles of the
game because it hasn't been released for the American public
yet Xenoblade Chronicles it's called the duty of some duty of
growth as the main term they keep using and let me just this
is a little dialogue like that went on Oh, a vessel with which,
to which with which to meet our Overlord has come to me. So we
have this structure that is being foisted upon us, this
overlord Princess Princess and all the rest of it isn't full of
crap.
By the way, that Princess throws a black hole, which is kind of
frightening.
Yes, when I would be Hillary, we lost the earth. And we've
treated I'm sorry. And we've traveled so far, to reach this
planet will wipe you out. That is the duty of growth. Wow. So
that was sends out my attention will wipe you out. That is the
duty of growth, we can never coexist with the likes of you.
We will purge this cancer that we will purge this cancer. That
is the destiny of growth. I mean, this sort of thing. A
being pumped into all the children of the world is a is a
is a mindset that I think is dangerous. And it's
and you're you're saying is that this can be triggered.
I think that there's a this has been going on for a while. And
we've always been looking at the wrong thing. It's a don't look
over here moment, we look at the violence in these games. And we
say oh my god is all this violence. That's what's
accounting for the shootings and all the rest of it. But we don't
look at the messaging. And there is nothing but propaganda stick
royalty messaging, you versus us. messaging you can't agree
with, you know, you have to be lockstep in one side or the
other, your enemy or your or, you know, you're either our
friend or enemy. And you're seeing this manual, kind of
magnified in politics and everything else. And I believe
it stems from this giant Japanese ideology, which is
being pumped through these games right into people's brains. And
you're not noticing it, because the violent part is like,
helping you kind of in you know, bring this internally. I'm
telling you this. Oh, convinced this is a huge problem. I'm
all in on that. The only thing is having been to Japan
recently. I'm not seeing the result of that.
In Japan. Yeah. Because their culture and their language is
ah, this stuff up. It's not even a problem. But once it leaves
that, that closed society and goes in into foreign areas that
have a different structure because of the melee, because
the language is so different. It doesn't work and it's it starts
to corrupt us. I think we're being corrupted by Japanese
games. I like that thesis. Working on it. I have more to
say
I just activated the children. Have you ever seen that movie?
No. Halloween three. No, no. Yeah. That's so cool. The kids
they see this commercial for silver shamrock and they get
activated and they go nuts. Oh, and kill everybody. Wow, I hope
some I hope somebody got that one. I'm like the only guy who
like yeah, that was funny. That was really good. All right,
perfect. pronouns. They got some of my weird material in the
past.
Well, I liked the thesis. And it would make sense although I'm
not quite sure how well so the Grand Theft Auto that's not a
Japanese game. That's an American game. Yeah.
Yeah, but there's no propaganda. There's the none of this
propaganda is in Grand Well, the only
thing that is violence. Well, the only thing that's in Grand
Theft Auto is there's a lot of sometimes little no agenda ish
but I would say more
spot event I get there's actually more elements are in
themes. Those are American themes that are in Grand Theft
Auto. And I think that's a healthy game for that reason.
Yeah. But these are these theses on these games are alien to the
American way of thinking. It's interesting.
And it's a slave mentality.
Yeah, it's a total slave mentality. Surf serfdom.
Okay, so, if your kid has taken about, be open about him talk
and don't give any Japanese games to him. Screw that. That's
just not okay. We can't have that. And definitely do not do
the Anderson Cooper experiment with voices in your head. Don't
Audible is is dangerous. People talking to you may want to do
something horrible. However, the voice in your head from the no
agenda show is good. You're good. You're awesome. You can do
it. You can live through the full crowd. ignore your
television. Don't take your meds and tell your children to go
outside and eat some dirt. Alright, John, John Claude, I am
