So you bought these intangibles and you get nothing really? Adam
curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday May
28 2015. Time for your gizmo nation media assassination. This
is episode seven to five.
This is no agenda. Still high
and dry and broadcasting live from FEMA Region six in downtown
Austin capital, the drone Star State in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where we're wishing for rain.
I'm John C. Dvorak. Baden Buzzkill.
You know, we have not used our rain sticks recently.
I don't think the time is now. Well, not for me. But for you
perhaps? Um, maybe.
It was pretty bad there. I think there's 12 people dead and other
13 or 14 missing a go. I don't do it. That's it ticket. Nice.
Anyway, I was saying it's pretty bad.
Planning letters later. was bad. He was bad. There's a bunch of
dead people.
And the people are terrible. Lamar was flooded the other day,
what is going on with all that? Although this is by by no means
unprecedented?
No, of course not. Especially down there. And those
floodplains are all over the place people build, they would
get flooded out and then somebody some kind of, I guess a
developer comes along, says Look at all this cool property. Let's
build another housing tract.
But of course, when I'm it took a little while, but what I'm
getting is all kinds of emails and you Okay. From Europe,
obviously, but also from the US. You look at the footage you
think I can barely keep my chin above water here. But downtown,
like in the 60s floors, I'm on a massive skyscraper downtown
78 What are you talking about? Yeah, yeah. But even here in the
front and say everything's pretty good. But it is expected
to rain for the rest of the month. And probably into halfway
through June the month
that you're kidding. Yeah,
I know. Wow. I'm sorry. Yes. Two more days. now and well into
June. We'll see. We'll see. That's right. The months almost
over but you know, this is what this is all about, obviously. I
mean,
well, I have a clip that tells you what it's about.
I have a clip that tells us what it's about to I play yours
first. What is it?
That's the I'm looking for it? I've got too many clips. Texas
floods, floods in
San Marcos, Texas. The heat wave and floods came into play
against the fossil fuel quite a bit what heatwave?
She says it's a heatwave and floods. And he continues to
talk. You understand why she said heatwave so so your I'm
going to ask you now you're there. Is there a heatwave? So
the rain coming down as hot?
Yes, it's scalding my skin? No, of course not. Although we the
typical Austin weather. This is not abnormal. You have rain and
it's been 75. One day just storm crazy. And then the next day, it
rains in the morning and then it's 92 degrees and then it goes
down again. This is Austin is what happens but heat wave now
Ken bell of San Marcos, Texas, the heat wave and floods came.
It's protests against the fossil fuel companies. He's
going to call home man Hall. She's going to talk to a guy in
San Marcos and he's going to affirm that there's a heatwave
in San Marcos. We
started that's 45 minutes from they I cut the San Marcos guy
I'm doing the transitions where she associates the flooding with
oil refineries. And guess what?
Yeah, I know Ken bell of San Marcos, Texas, the heat wave and
floods came it's protests against the fossil fuel
companies largely responsible for climate change faced
protests across the United States. On Sunday in Santa
Barbara, California residents protested a major oil spill,
which has killed wildlife and soiled beaches in Bellingham,
Washington. Two protesters suspended themselves from the
anchor chain of a ship to oppose shows plans to drill for oil in
the Arctic Tiara DeAngelo hung from the anchor of the Arctic
challenger from Friday till Monday morning, while fellow
protester Matt Fuller joins her for 22 hours on Saturday and
Sunday. Meanwhile, the University of Hawaii has voted
to divest its sixth on its $66 million endowment from fossil
fuels, becoming the largest university to heed the growing
divestment movement today.
All right, got it. May I play mine? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I got
a couple of that. Since we're starting off on the agenda. 21
climate change stuff, guys. We'll go through power through
it. I know I promised not to do it, but it's very hard. Oh, no.
Yes. You know who it is? I know it is Chris Matthews from MSNBC.
Thought it was the other one.
According to the National Climate Assessment, climate
change contributes to harsh weather conditions like the
flooding in Texas, and the drought in California happening
right now experts predict changing extremes and
precipitation are projected across all seasons, including
higher likelihoods of both increasing heavy rain and snow
All Events have more intense droughts all at the same time,
in the same time jar all at the same time is to the Columbia
University and Dr. Jeffrey Sachs. Dr. Sacks when you look
at these two situation I'm just going to freefall out here are
in terms of information, what do you see in terms of the terrible
this is from Columbia University, this entire the
division or department or whatever you call it is
dedicated to educating people about the dangers of manmade
climate change, which consistently now I need to point
it out again, is just as been shortened. We went from global
warming, manmade global warming, manmade climate change, to
climate change. And I can't argue climate change happens.
Absolutely. But we've missed somehow in the in the
vernacular, we've dropped the manmade part, which is very
tricky. Drought, the terrible
flooding down there isn't something that's moved across
the Pacific water that was supposed to drop in,
historically, in California now is dropping somewhere else. How
do you see it?
Well, there's a lot of disruption around the world,
this is going to be the hottest year on record. There are
massive heat waves, they're droughts, they're floods.
It's all horrible. Okay. Now, here's what happened. I know the
President has his new Twitter account, which
we can I stop you and throw a clip in the middle. Now, you've
brought up a question in my mind, okay. Okay. Because we
hear these guys constantly predicting one thing or another,
and then well played the clip hurricane season. Yeah, and this
is good.
We're just five days away from the official start of hurricane
season. But the good news is, it's supposed to be weaker than
usual, with government forecasters predicting only
three to six hurricanes in the Atlantic this year. And it's
possible that none of them will reach category three or higher.
I like
the Restatement. Nothing will reach category three or higher,
which is not really devastating. It shouldn't be.
Wait a minute, I was under the impression after Katrina, that
we're going to have nothing but worsening hurricanes year after
year after year, to the point where because of global warming,
manmade, and now lose, see nothing. And we're gonna have
another dud year. This doesn't make any sense at all.
So I have the put it in the show notes link to the National Ocean
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. And they just
changed their forecasts. And this is also a forecast below
normal Atlantic hurricane season is likely this year, look at the
weasel words. Likely, but these were the same people who
predicted it would not get
same pick people. I'm going to throw in a little observation
here about this. And if I was on the other side of this debate, I
think they made a huge mistake. There was when the debate began,
which was during the Katrina period, I believe, or maybe
before when people started getting skeptical because the
numbers weren't adding
up. They Katrina or Superstorm Sandy.
No, no, Katrina will go away. backcast Superstorm Sandy was
just a weasel word thing for a storm that hit Florida. Well,
they call it a superstorm zone. They call it the call that a
superstorm so the insurance companies didn't have to pay
out. So there's that but now in in general,
getting back to my point. What the moment that they, if you
remember early on, in fact is probably during the first couple
years or a show where they they would constantly say weather
isn't climate. Yeah. Weather isn't climate and then one day
because the because things were working out for their argument,
because it was hot. Like it was a hot summer or was unseasonably
hot someplace, they began to accept that yes, this is proof.
This weather pattern is proof that is climate change. It's
proof. So now all of a sudden weather became climate. They got
themselves to nothing but trouble ever since they accepted
that idea. That weather was somehow related to climate
change. When they're initially they said no, no, no, just just
now don't pay attention to that. Well,
sure they got themselves in hot water, but with who? The normal
shit isn't on the shelves yet. Like anybody cares, the normal
citizen on the street, do you? It's hard to imagine climate.
But when you have a storm or a drought or Heatwave, then you
can imagine climate or you can imagine the effects of manmade
climate change or climate change.
I think it was a blunder. I don't care about the man on the
street buying into it because the man on the streets also
makes the observation Hey, wait a minute. It's freezing out we
had those couple yesterday. That's true, horrible winters
and I suppose
but that's also been rectified by saying that's the polar
vortex and this is normal to be expected. That's how it works.
You can always expect extremes. Now they're on right on message.
They messed it up. I agree. But that's where people like you and
I gives a crap about us. But this is brutal. Yeah. Well,
that's true. This is the President has his Twitter
account. At POTUS at POTUS OB, I want to see what he's doing. So
I'm following him on one of the millions. And he tweeted
something that reminded me, we both kind of had missed or maybe
we didn't highlight it enough. I can't really remember on two
shows ago, when he was at the Naval Academy. Listen to what
he's saying about climate change, as this
is a naval or Coast Guard, a Coast Guard, I'm sorry, thank
you. Listen closely what he says about denying climate change
as America's maritime guardian, you've pledged to remain always
ready, Semper Paratus. Ready for all threats. And climate change
is one of those most severe threats. So I'm here today to
say that climate change constitutes a serious threat to
global security.
I do want to mention that I shorten this significantly by
cutting out all the dramatic pauses because it's just
unlistenable otherwise, an immediate
risk to our national security. And make no mistake, it will
impact how our military defends our country. And so we need to
act and we need to act now. After all, isn't that the true
hallmark of leadership? When you're on deck, expanding your
watch you stay? You plan for every contingency listen. And if
you see storm clouds gathering, or dangerous shows ahead, you
don't sit back and do nothing you take action to protect your
ship to keep your crew safe. Anything less is negligence. It
is a dereliction of duty. And so too with climate change, denying
it or refusing to deal with it in dangers our national
security.
That is the line that the president tweeted on May 20,
that I only just recently came into so when you say denying
climate change being dangerous or national security that would
make you and I although we don't deny climate change, we deny
manmade climate change makes us enemies of the state.
By that stupid definition, yes. Yeah, I would also make that
anybody who was in the Coast Guard who doesn't you know,
kowtow to whatever the climate change people promote. They're
committing dereliction of duty, which we did do we did we
talked about the dereliction I do to the extent that you're
wanting to do well, I just want to point it out that that is
that's
what do you think these cadets are? I mean, if you're sitting
out there in the audience, and you're hearing this nuts that he
stuff, you're kind of our precedent is insane.
And now they're not thinking that the thing is in Santa
they're thinking they are no they're thinking I'm gonna get
laid tonight that's all they're thinking. Well, there's
well I've got graduated I wish this guy get it over with any
engine I'm sure here
is I just want to I'll just power through them all get it
out of the way. And by the way, we're waiting for the Pope's
inter interface cyclical signal Amani, moody ba his his memo to
Catholics all over the world, this pub guy, just like off the
lights is what it's gonna be. Don't watch television. True.
That would be good Young Turks. This is they used to be on
television. Now they have, by chunks own counted the most
popular most watched YouTube Channel show on? Yes, it is. Now
this does not feed your chunk. But this is three guys. In the
Young Turks, I guess they have a number of shows. And they are
talking about how Republic networks are how Republicans
deny climate change. Again, I don't deny climate change. I'm
happy that they've moved to that. So I can't be thrown in
jail for denying it. So
we understand that Republicans and Democrats differ on you
know, climate change and what should be done about it and
whether or not they even trust the science itself. But
apparently, if you dig a little bit below the surface, there are
much more interesting numbers there. And it's not about the
difference between Republicans and Democrats. But between
Republicans and insane right wing Tea Parties saying these
are not 10 year olds taking the classes yet. These are 50 6070
year olds who have grown up and just don't trust what trained
professionals are saying I just don't understand. We trusted
30,000 scientists, many of which are climate scientists that's
wrote the letter and that nobody pays any attention to we pay
attention to we listen to all the hearings where the guys come
out and say no, that's not true. That's not true. That's not
true. And then the head guy in the committee hearings says oh,
it's all true. Who if we pay more attention than these guys
do? Yeah. year olds who have grown up and just don't trust
what trained professionals are saying, I just don't understand
people that would not trust an expert in a given field. Not
everybody's correct, obviously. But as the general theme of
experts, if you were to throw your back, you would go to a
chiropractor, probably you wouldn't.
You wouldn't go to a
say a podiatrist. I love the analogy really good. Dude, he's
an expert in a different
part of the body. We live in a country that believes in the
literal existence of angels and believes in psychics and
believes the black hole might have swallowed the flight 370
like they have a lot of crazy beliefs and, and usually those
are relatively that's possible. Those are usually pretty
harmless. But here we're talking about something where even if we
marshal all of our economic power and influence worldwide to
do something about it as a country, we might not be able to
stop it at this point. But we have to at least try and the
yokels are stopping doing that.
yokels. yokels I guess. Yeah,
I want to play a clip. This is good because I got the clip said
that. Why don't I Why don't I finish this? And then we'll go
that was still going yeah. Oh, you stopped your own clip.
You get to say, Oh, go on then just so ridiculous. It's
funny. I want to hear the rest of this
is media deconstruction at its finest, but this was a six
minute segments. I don't got 30 seconds left. So
that's a big problem. And I think that stems from a lot from
misinformation. It also stems from I've said this before, I
don't this isn't scientific. This is my guess. You know, they
learn bad ways of thinking because they're really
religious. So they've learned how to push backs out of the
way.
overly religious people can't think straight.
So somebody explained that the difference between a progressive
and a conservatives views of solutions to problems is thus
conservatives think their solution works, because it's the
right solution. Progressives thinks their solution is the
right solution because it works. So those are two different
things, right? Just
listen to the punch line. Just wait for the punch line. The
punch line is what these guys say to me. So
those are two different things. Right? It's a bit long offended
about your sticker, but I like it. Yeah, well, you can put it
on a t shirt. up your ass you fuckface anyway
That's logical. Now I have two clips I had to play. Yeah. That
kind of play right into what these idiots are talking about.
And I will call them idiots. TYT
Young Turks, something young turks television. Okay, cool.
Makes sense.
Here's Jules Feiffer, who was at a presentation, he won some
awards. He's a very famous left wing, progressive, comic strip
guy from the 50s and 60s, very popular during the 60s in
particular. And he people can look him up. And he made a very
interesting comment here, which I think applies to what these
guys are talking about
have to do with how the use of language generally official and
unofficial language, if so. The distrust for government, and the
contempt for government and hatred for government that we
now find with a tea party number right, really began on the
American left. And it was that the belief on the American left
that nothing they told you was is the truth nothing government
says is true was was was what I believed in part to be so. And
there was enough evidence to back it up. I mean, there were
at the time that I was starting. There were nuclear tests,
underground nuclear tests, and the government was always
bringing up statistics to show that we know harmful effects of
radiation from these from the leaks that came from these
nuclear tests as sheep and cattle are falling over in
outwest. And John Wayne eventually got cancer from
working out. And so to do so, I did a cartoon called Blue Monday
on which the government is announcing that's as people fall
over that there are no harmful effects of radiation and the
language we use to fool people to lie to people to mislead
people and to satirize way out of hand to make it funny. What
was really going on in a way that would make people I hoped,
think about it and consider it.
Now that reminds me of a very famous bumper sticker that used
to be passed around the progressive left environment in
the Berkeley area which was questioned authority and so just
simple bumper sticker used back in the day sure question
authority but these guys are all in and I think Pfeiffer makes
the point is that they get they flip flopped here. And the
people that used to the opinions of the Tea Party are pretty much
the way that the opinions were of the far left back in the day
and and as these two guys from the ER three guys at the Young
Turks show go on and on about the crazy religious people. If
you haven't noticed, there's a bunch of shows especially on on
PBS about ancient peoples and ancient wisdom and all these
things, which is kind of a new form of religion for these
people. They're there they they haven't negate Christianity, but
they they promote the idea that people living in a mud Hot and
Guinea, I have ancient wisdom that we should pay, right. But
by the same token, if I say, hey, these hieroglyphics and
these wall drawings show that they were visitors from outer
space, then you're a crackpot.
Well, there's all these elements. But the one that got
to me, there's a new show on PBS, called standing on sacred
ground. And it goes on and on with these people and how they
then they've done they do have those, those myths that you're
talking about. And they express them, but they don't push that
part of it. They don't push that part of it, they come up with
new ways to reinterpret all this. And this is the outro to
the show. They're playing the rolling credits, and they're
going to promote the next show coming up. And what little
element do you think they just throw in because apparently
ancient peoples were thinking about this?
Oh, about the big climate change?
Well, let's see.
Next time on standing on sacred ground, Highland cultures in
Ethiopia and Peru reveal ancient wisdom and show modern courage,
fighting intolerance and climate change. For more information,
log on to standing on sacred ground.org
Okay, because are you kidding me? Because of all of that co2
emissions from the factories in the sacred ground dump? Well,
you know, I think we've seen this go in waves John, and I'm
sure it goes along with money being released. Now we have this
big push, you've got that Columbia outfit, chiming in the
President with his Hey, denying it is affects our national
security. And so as well, a brand new show, I believe it's
on Discovery, Neil deGrasse Tyson and this of course, is the
the tech Hornies real doll if you will, the tech horny just
love this guy. And he's the director of the what is the
planetarium in New York? Yeah, Hayden Hayden. You're right.
Then he is an astrophysicist. He
runs a planetarium. Let's push out. Yeah,
he shines the light on the ceiling. Is it to the domain
that guy down, but he's an astro. He's also a showboater?
Well, this is the problem. And he was on Charlie Rose. So I
watched this. And most of it is just the him laughing nervously.
And I think Rose was even a little bit annoyed because he
deGrasse Tyson comes up with these, these funny comebacks on,
you know, Charlie Rose will say, just as an example. So we all
gonna die from climate change. And he'll come back and say,
Well, we're dead already. And just bad jokes goes nowhere. But
he is loved by the by the by the established I'll just call him
the tech horn because I think they also fall into a lot of
this all in on the on manmade climate change. First, the
question from rose, which I found to be fascinating, taking
it from global warming, manmade global warming, manmade climate
change, climate change, climate climate change deniers to
science deniers. So now we're there, Charlie Rose Nola?
Do we have too many scientific deniers in our country? Or do we
give too much prominence to there? Do
we give too much prominence to the scientific deniers in our
country? Ah, let me just the sciences and listen to them.
Do we have too many scientific deniers in our country? Or do we
get too much prominence to there those who want to look the other
way? Yes, I am. There's some of those and dare I implicate some
elements of journalism in this because there's your
journalistic ethos not to tell you what your ethos is, Oh,
please, I'm not gonna tell you what your ethos and now he's
arrogant as well. But as I understand
it, and it's been told to me, the journalist obligation when
writing a story is to give equal column space to all sides.
Let me ask somebody who might actually be a professional in
writing as a journalist, John C. Dvorak, is this correct?
Not Not completely, you're supposed to do a balanced report
is what he's talking about. But you don't give necessarily
righted an equal, you have a point of view, you have a point
of view, and you have a point of view, you just always gonna have
one and some people have slanted point of views. And some people
don't some people write it objectively. But typically,
there's a story to be told. And there will be somebody that will
say, No, it's not that way and you put them into the story, but
you don't give them equal.
Okay, hold that thought. And I will come back to you with more
questions in a moment,
or half to boat to one of each side. And if someone says the
Earth is round, and someone says the earth is flat, at some
point, you're gonna make a judgement. This the earth is
flat people is just flat out wrong. I will not be giving them
the attention. We're wasting time and I'm not doing a service
to in my in my role hug or informing the public. And so I
think journalists are really smart people and they're highly
educated and they're curious, they curiosity that kids have,
that they still have as adults. That's the other kind of branch
of curiosity manifested in society, scientist and
journalist. And that's a great thing to have, but at some
point, invest your brain energy to recognize when something is
fringe and reported that way. And, and so when when you do
that people that are properly informed about what is and is
not true, what is an emergent truth? What is a truth? That's
in doubt? What is the truth? What is something?
What is an emergent truth? A truth that is in doubt
is been been refuted? Be responsible on that frontier?
And I think that will help. They'll help my job. Certainly.
So is that how you do it, then?
I don't know what he's talking about. I
think what he said what he is saying for he's calling on the
his his fellow questioners
as a journalist is just a good yes. party line. Yes, yes. Now,
but he's actually asking for people to just ignore anything.
Yeah. And you Mr. Baca, they'll use this. I've heard this
before. They're going to use jargon. And yet, if you're
talking about World War Two, you don't give equal time to
Hitler's perspective. On the genocide. Who said that? Oh,
I've heard it.
Oh, isn't that kind of exactly what you need to figure out what
that guy was thinking? Or how he made?
No, that's just they were just this is climate change guy. They
mock everybody. You've heard it before on, I can't remember
which we had a clip where they were, somebody said, The problem
with the journalism is there, they shouldn't be all in. They
shouldn't even be dressing any of these doubters. They
shouldn't even be writing about it. They shouldn't even give
them any attention. I mean, we should take the 30,000 real
scientists as opposed to the people who are all in on this
because very few of them have any science in their background.
Very few here. I'm sorry. And they just say let's just go for
the you know, just push with it because we're all gonna die.
Which is what that Columbia you don't have much time left and we
need insurance every year. We were gonna use it past the
midpoint. Oh, we can we if we don't do something by the end of
this year. 1999. We're all gonna die. 1000 comes along. We're all
gonna die. So it's just
Yes. I'd need to get cold it because you're you got a good
role there. But a few more things. We need to listen to a
clip. We're
all gonna die.
Do I have this clip? Yes. Oh, going to die. I don't remember.
Was this one of yours? Oh, yes. Oh, boy. I'm sorry. I should
have that handy. I'm going to put that into my special bin
right now. I'd forgotten about this, Jim. Very good, John. Very
good. Okay. So Neil deGrasse Tyson talks about his hero, Carl
Sagan. And how Carl Sagan was fantastic.
Sagan, the guy who's who during the rock, the first Kuwait Iraq
War, came out and openly predicted that we're going to
have what's called a black something rather, because the
plumes from the oil wells are going to go into the upper
atmosphere, cover the entire planet and kill us all that Carl
Sagan.
Yeah, I think so. Yeah. But what was interesting is, so Charlie
Rose rolled out a piece of him, of course, into with his white
Apple watch band. What is wrong with you, Charlie Rose,
interviewed him the last year, the year that he died, Sagan was
sick. And I believe that was a pretty famous bit because he
talked about dying, etc. But Sagan gives a warning, a real
warning about science and interpretation. And I'll stop it
after after the second bit, and then we need to listen to
deGrasse Tyson's interpretation of Satan's words.
The little thing was big.
Roll tape. Here it is. There's two kinds of dangers. One is
what I just talked about, that we've arranged a society based
on science and technology, in which nobody understands
anything about science and technology. And this combustible
mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to
blow up in our faces. I mean, who is running the science and
technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about
it? And the second reason that I'm worried about this is that
science is more than a body of knowledge. It's a way of
thinking, a way of skeptically interrogating the universe with
a fine understanding of human fallibility. If, if we are not
able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us
that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority,
then we're up for grabs. For the next charlatan political or
religious who comes ambling along. It's a thing that
Jefferson lay great stress on. It wasn't enough, he said, to
enshrine some rights in a constant decision or Bill of
Rights. The people had to be educated and they had to
practice their skepticism and their education. Otherwise we
don't run the government. The government runs us.
Okay, you're interpreting seems pretty clear. Yeah. You should
be skeptical. You should question authority. And in this
case, the authority is people like that, say 90 Even though
they lie
about well, here. I have a philosophical question for you.
What happened the night what?
So he said question authority authority on a topic? Is
authority always determined by majority?
Not necessarily not in a dictatorship?
Okay, well, we don't live in a dictatorship, but is why is the
authority so is the President the authority? Is he a higher
authority than some on some matters? I
would think so. Who is
the highest authority on climate change? The IPCC okay? So
questioning them would be the correct thing to do being
skeptical, always asking questions that okay,
that's what people do and then they get demeaned for it saying
anything if you say anything bad about the IPCC. Oh, you're just
a you don't you don't you don't like science? You're not your
science
didn't let us listen to the interpretation from Neil
deGrasse. Tyson
trollee was at the same table.
He doesn't like that doesn't like these jokes, Charlie, the
same
glasses. Yeah, same. That's kind of spooky. Seeing him that Mises
alive now as he was back then, just like that was feeling sick.
Yeah, it was a famous interview. I did. Yeah.
You're great. Move on.
didn't live much longer than that. It was 1996 1990. So he
died that year? Yeah. So yeah, he said it better than any of us
connecting science literacy with what it is to have an informed
democracy. If you want to take control of your fate. You can't
do it. If you are misinformed or under informed about what
actually matters. And in this the 21st century, it's going to
matter. I think
what he's saying is people who are against it or are skeptical,
or just misinformed.
Yeah, what it gets kind of what he's saying,
he's, he doesn't come in. Yeah, he doesn't come out and say, but
he's not saying hey, wow, gee, I should have listened to him.
None of that. So just to carry on with the crazy
amount and say, Holy crap, I didn't think about it in those
terms. Yeah, I'm such an idiot.
I think we should keep that Sagan clip. Because that's, as
you shouldn't he's, he's an authority on black holes in the
Middle East.
He, you know, he was a very, he was one of the most popular pop
scientists you've ever seen. I mean, they've come there's
different ones that come and go, but deGrasse Tyson wishes that
was him?
Oh, yes. Oh, in 20. Oh, yes. Okay. And he's worse. He's his
hero. He thinks he has taken his spot. I believe that deGrasse
Tyson feels there's a vacuum to fill. And he's the guy. Yeah,
and he is what we call over to the Partha tilt. Which means
which is Dutch for They boosted him up on the horse, and he fell
off on the other side. When he's about to fall. Now, Bill Nye the
client, the climate guy, or science guy, another guy who
wishes he was a high, but he's making mistakes now. So he
thinks that because, you know, he's hanging out with the
President. And he's seen as the climate guys getting 35 grand
for commencement speech at Rutgers, Amy Schumer, which
she's running paid him 35 grand I hear that's what I heard. Holy
crap. You wouldn't go otherwise this guy. He's all I don't
have a problem with not going if you're not paid, but generally
for commencement speeches you do for gratis or for a phony
baloney honorary degree.
Yeah, boy, I would do it for phony baloney Honorary Degree in
a heartbeat. Yeah, I do have the Connecticut School of
broadcasting diploma on my wall which is kind of a deal like
that. I can prove Amy Schumer show and she's pretty funny.
He's a comedian. I don't like to show very much. Because I think
Comedy Central and then she did a whole bit with Bill Nye and
was about the universe and how women keep saying oh, the you
that's the universe telling me to buy avocados or something.
I'm just going to play the the end of it. Where I think Bill
Nye is just he's jumped the shark on his own thinking that
he can do anything. Because he gets so they keep coming back to
him saying oh no, this is not what the universe is. The
universe is just whatever an electrical engineer would say or
whatever the hell he is. He's so here's the end episode
of new girl but it was preempted by this news coverage of this
terrible cyclone or like everybody died. It was so
annoying. Dan, I just thought like, this is the universe's way
of telling me watch new girl on Hulu anyway. Don't pay for cable
save your money for in app purchases.
That just makes no fucking sense. It's just bullshit. Fuck.
So that's how the bit ends? What Yeah, that's how the bid ends if
And of course he's setting himself up for montages such as
climate change is real. It just makes no fucking sense. It's
just bullshit. Yes
he did set himself up douche.
Yeah, send me those I can use a
moron. Moron What
the hell is wrong with you wake up get up off your asses get out
of the damn coma.
Okay, I'm good. Although National Geographic magazine is
definitely one you want to pick up. Big article Why do many
reasonable people doubt science? This is more of this. We've gone
from climate and when you think about it, it's really good to
shift this into science denial, because you can use that for
anything. Yeah, and no one questions is they just say and I
just keep saying climate change. Maybe I'm harping too much on it
but
we got started on Oh, no, we got you got we had coincident number
of clips. So
I think it worked. Okay, good, good. Good. Maybe FIFA we got
nowhere
we didn't really approve accomplish anything. Except
ridicule these people once again, and we look like douche
bag. Doing I think just something.
I do have two more Tyson clips that are not I think
Mike Pfeiffer thing was important for the left that
listens to our show to
find the thing was very good. I do have two more deGrasse Tyson
clips, I will play him later than not.
I'll come on play him now. Let's get him out of the way. Okay.
The first one is about, okay, we could solve everything we could
make everything happen. We could have colonies. On Mars. All we
need is money. And this is his plea for Kashia.
It's only ever money only ever money at all times. Namely
disappointed that we don't do more in space. I am real. I am
the curiosity part of me is disappointed. But the rat, the
the politically astute side of me fully understands why that's
the case. We went to the moon because we have other
priorities. No, no, no, no, we always had our movie, we've
always had other priorities that so that's that's a false excuse.
We when we went to the moon, we had plenty of other priorities.
There was a civil rights movement. There was the hot war
in Southeast Asia, the Cold War with with Soviet Union, a campus
unrest we have a PR we did it because we were at war. With the
Soviet we that was an act of war, essentially, without the
weapons. And if we were not at war and the motivation to go to
the moon, we tell ourselves, we went to the moon because we are
Americans. And we're we're explorers, and it's in our DNA.
Okay, that might all be true, but the people write the checks
don't give a rat's about any of this this lofty speak. It's our
is your security at risk. We'll spend any amount of money to
protect that. And that's when money flows like rivers and we
went to the moon, President Kennedy made the badminton
climate in that climate, and what should we create that kind
of urgency occasion for something?
That's, that's interesting how Rose is saying should we create
that kind of urgency again, like
going to the Olympics with this terrorism crap?
I joke. I say, let me go visit China, and whisper to the head
of China. Can you leak a memo that says you want to put
military bases on Mars? tell anybody that that memo shows up
in the Pentagon, we will be on Mars in 10 months, one month to
design build and fund a spacecraft and nine wants to get
there whoever astronauts that's the kind of motivated I think we
would be because that's how motivated we were back in the
1960s.
Okay, there you go. It just nine months, we could be living on
Mars with bases. Final home your sexuality, it's in
your DNA.
That's the question you should have answered. Here is the final
clip of this. This is disturbing. It turns out that
Neil deGrasse Tyson is kind of a science fiction writing hack,
although he claims he can't write is not to build
characters, but he's got a whole story. And it sounds like he was
almost there to pitch this. Well. Yeah, it was. Yeah. And
it's so reminiscent of what was the now of course, it slipped my
mind. The book about the path from the dead author from
Creighton, fear of a state of fear state, the state of state
of fear reminds me a lot about this. And here is the different
twist I'm sure not and it's not necessarily about climate
change, but another one of his favorite topics which pops up
from time to time and eel I think his story might he might
someone might nibble on this because it's it's it's the kind
of thing that Hollywood loves. All right,
I've got a story. It's it's ready to go. It's ready to go. I
just need to get right. I've got a good story and I could advise
on such a story, but in terms of character development and, and
emotions, and I don't I don't have the experience. Right. It's
certainly not writing it and probably also who would know,
that would be compelling. I have one in mind right now. Yeah. I
mean, I can, I'm happy to tell it. I mean, it's, it's okay.
Tell me. Okay, so the world is at war. Okay. You mean the world
that we know is that the world that we know is at war and in
some, in some very disruptive way, not with large weapons, but
regional battles everywhere, and people are choosing sides, and
then an asteroid is discovered. Tell us what an asteroid is.
It's in your DNA. It's part of
your sexuality asteroid. Tell us what an asteroid is. Yeah. Rose
needs to know discovered.
Tell us what an asteroid, asteroid craggy chunk of rock of
varying sizes, there's countless 10s of 1000s of them, probably
hundreds of 1000s of them. And the aliens. Yeah, Mars and
Jupiter, most of them. Some of them have wayward orbits that
crossed the orbit of the Earth. Some like in 1000s of them. You
do the math, you learn that half Earth and these asteroids will
collide with one another, guaranteed eventually, ideally,
you want to like put low jack on them or something.
Where are you? Hello, 1980 calling. We want to know Jack
reverends back now
at this time, it's 10pm. Do you know what your killer asteroid
is? And so once you do that, we learned that there's an asteroid
that could render us all extinct. And so at that moment,
and what
do you think happens in the sky? Gee, that
story's never been told. Yes.
What do you think happens next? What what happens with all the
bombs
or climate change? The asteroid goes in misses.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
there's an asteroid that could render us all extinct. And so at
that moment, everyone who sees other humans as their enemy,
then come together and saw the asteroid, oh, my God. And the
technology bits that have been developed all around these
countries of the world, it's a bit in the future, so that
formerly developing countries are now technologically able.
And they've been developing the technology to fight wars, we
find that we have to assemble pieces of all these technologies
develop a common front against not only common front, but we
need different pieces of technology for the deflection
device we put together and the heads of heads of state come
into play the the conflicts, not only within countries, but
between countries. It's run with that. So it can be quite
dramatic. And maybe we can have a little piece of the asteroid
still hit Earth just because you gotta flood a city or something.
Otherwise Hollywood doesn't fight it's gonna destroy some
city.
This guy's delusional. He's nuts. That clip right there.
Yeah, it's just I think if you would have started with that, I
would have probably rejected you listing any more.
Well, it's an All right. See ya. Yeah. On the Charlie Rose show.
Well, you know, the guy has a like you said, you mentioned
that the tech what are they? You had in tech, corny
tech, horny tech Hornies.
The tech horn isn't like that. But Courtney's you can also just
come to cornice, the cornice to your knees to corn sounds like a
family. It sounds like reality TV. And here we are with another
day in the life of the cornice. And now ladies
and gentlemen, it's time to rejoin the decor knees. Alright,
guys insane. With that maybe I should thank you for your
courage and say,
I think it's probably a good thing to do. I'm
in the morning to you, John C where the C stands for climate
denial. Dvorak
in the morning to you Adam curry in the morning all the ships at
sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water. And
in all the days and nights out there in the
morning, everybody in the chat room, no agenda stream.com You
are loved here. And in the morning to our artists. Star
Cast Squatch brought us the artwork for episode 724. Now you
recall episode 724. The title of that was nice fabric. And we
used an older piece, which was I think initially used for the
pollen tsunami but it looks so great as kind of Austin's
buildings and the flooding was nice as my good work. It worked
completely original artwork very nice like that a lot. Yes, and
this was not what I was just going to say this program is
completely Created and produced by its listeners who We
rightfully call producers and we always just like Hollywood like
to thank the executive producers and Associate Executive
producers who do the most to help us financially. And we
thank them upfront in the kind of the opening credits first our
credits.
Yes, and we want to thank a number of people for the
contributing today. To show producers shipping status,

into check or set up a recurring payment. Something always got in
the way. Fast forward to 2014 which was the shittiest year
I've ever had. Instead of boring you with the details. Let's just
say I realized early on that no agenda would would be my company
during the 2001 2014 a shitstorm of typos here, I made a promise
to myself that after everything was done and settled I would
donate what I could and that day has finally arrived with that
said I led to make an odd karma request. I'm pretty sure some
time traveling karma helped me out last year could you please
fire up the no agenda Time Machine send some karma back in
time to the beginning of 2014 you have the sound effects to
make that work I do I consider the donation payment for the
services already rendered. Thanks again for helping keep me
sane. And then he's got some other bookkeeping and some other
things on the on his further and some of the lists which he
doesn't think

Tony NIST in Granite Bay, California 234562 in a row. ITM
John and Anna, first time donor here. I've been listening to
your show for over a year now and I just couldn't ignore my
guilty conscience any longer. I'm currently an undergrad. Oh,
at the University of Nevada, Reno and couldn't possibly
Nevada, Reno. I couldn't possibly be more frustrated with
the amount of douchebaggery I hear and witness on a daily
basis on a college campus. My professors are for the most part
all in and consistently bring up some of your favorite memes. It
astounds me that these are the people that I'm supposed to be
learning from when they bring up such crisis as Ebola and the
ISIS on the regular sways.
Where did Ebola go?
I don't know. It's funny because you mentioned that because I'm
digging through my desk stuff here on the little podcasting
desk. And somebody I guess sent me in this sent me and they sent
me this little Ebola pen. It's a hashtag tackle Ebola and it's
one of those little you know, those little ribbons? little
ribbon thing? Yeah. that you put on your whatever you put it.
Yeah. And it's got a bunch of it's got the African flags or
something on there. It's stopped at when you were that Ebola
ends.
Well, it worked. It worked work.
Anyway, he goes on I'm not scared about it he about either
only the future of humanity if these memes continued to be
propagated. That's because they're older they don't
question authority. Here's the first of hopefully many more
donations. And by the way, this is a student people. Yeah. Thank
you guys so much for your courage. I like an El Sharpton
Boom shaka el Sharpton.
It's managed. Like, it's maddening, but that's okay. I
know what he means. But
maybe he wants to Sharpton to, if possible can also get a
douche bag call out for my good buddy Jared. Jared shot saw
Chuck's a douchebag who hit me in the mouth over a year ago.
Keep up the amazing work. Jen sincerely, Tony nice to Reno,
Nevada. All right.
Well, we'll do a big combo deal for him. He couldn't resist. We
much. We must. And we will much
about that. committed. Boom shakalaka Boom shakalaka Boom
shakalaka and Boom shaka laka anything go boom
karma I love that kid. I forgot about the first one. The long
long one the
resist we much oh no the Boom shakalaka I don't think we've
played that. Very well.
That's far away. Don't remember it. Anyway, that's our
contributors, Executive Associate Executive producers
for show. We're back in the presence 725 and want to remind
people that we do have a show coming up. Pretty soon day
I'll come Sunday.
Sunday, Sunday, we're coming back with PR mentioned
from Scott McKenzie. Now Scott McKenzie has written several no
agenda theme based giblets. giblets are purchasable on
Amazon for your Kindle. That's what we call it. And you can
also find all of his work at no agenda. novels.com He says Adam
John in the morning just letting you know I'm still doing my bit
to propagate the formula with a new no agenda short story called
conscience for sale now. Now in the Kindle store, and he has a
blurb and we love the word blur. It's only Polly Benton second
day working for a multinational outsourcing Corporation when she
gets the call to attend a meeting at the White House. The
President can't decide whether the United States should go to
war in the Middle East or not. So the Vice President is looking
for ways to speed things up and cost is not an option. But it is
really but is it really possible to outsource the decision to go
to war and what price is Polly willing to pay to further her
career? Nice. That's funny. And it also says it's linked in the
show notes for the US store in the UK store because I've also
just finished the first draft of the next no agenda novel, which
will be called the boy with involuntary social network
disorder. I love I'll be reading that this weekend. Scott's
giblets are always fantastic. Really? Hey, this is a new sound
was like a crowbar? This Yeah. No, it's too high.
It's a it's a it's a crystal wine glass. Oh, that I happen to
have up here.
You mean you didn't take it down to
never took it down to wash it? I looked at it. I said, Wait a
minute, this may sound terrific.org/and
Thank you very much to our associates and associate execs
please continue to propagate the formula
is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth
Amen.
This little ensemble, the little story, which also contains an
admission, well get ready for the admission. So I like having
now that I'm living on my own I like I'm learning to have things
not run out of things. Ah, you know, I'm sure you have learned
how to do this job two years ago. Yeah. I'm a late comer late
bloomer. I was a kid. I'm a late bloomer. So from time to time,
this is the admission Yeah, I'd like to smoke a little bit of
weed. It's not like I used to. Not like I used to, but that. So
that's the admission there. Yeah. You know, actually, I find
it very handy. If you have friends over. The best way to
get rid of them is, hey, let's smoke a joint. And then they're
like, Okay, time to go home. And then
it's kind of interesting. It works. Yeah,
it works very well. So I have to, you know, I don't know drug
dealers or anything, but this is guy of we'll call him Danny, for
all intensive purposes. And Danny is, he's, he's a weed
dealer. But he's, he's more like a hippie guy, kind of, you know,
he's always talking about one day, he's gonna, you know, build
this sustainable community, animals live off of wind power,
and like, identify it, as all good is great. But he also has
all kinds of issues like child support payments. And guys
messed up, though. He says, I've been trying to get a bag from
him for days. I don't want to run out. It's one of them. Not
that I just want to have some in case I need. Oh, so
you began this thesis here on this little chit chat. You're
given us with the with the idea that you don't want to run out
and I'm thinking, Well, you know, he looks in the
refrigerator, there's no milk. He there's no butter when he
first toast that kind of thing. And then you take this to some
level that is really has nothing to do with any of this.
No, it's just a fun story.
Yeah. Okay. Well continue. I'm sorry, you probably got it was
being misled. This only thing, I'm
just giving you some background. Okay, it's getting a little bit
of background. And so finally, you know, she's okay, I'm
showing up and this was Tuesday or whatever. And so I go down
and, and he so I meet him in the in the garage, of course. And,
and he hands me an envelope. And I said, What is this man, it's
like, it's a little wet on the corner. And I don't worry about
it was just some watermelon juice already, like watermelon
juice. And I thought it was a little light, but I just put in
my back pocket were chatting away. And oh, you have to know
his phone was broken. So we could only reach me on Facebook
Messenger next to the federal building on Wi Fi and the guy's
a mess. So we're talking and having 15 minutes. He has a nice
guy. And so I go upstairs and I opened it up. I said, Wait a
minute, before I open it on the envelope, it's addressed to the
Attorney General of the United States. I think, Wow, that's a
good idea. If you're driving around with some weed and you
get pulled over, the cop may not say oh, let me open up this
letter to the attorney general. So I think wow, Danny's really
smart. I open it up and in it are two bank checks to the
Attorney General. I guess the child support payments or
something. So I'm trying to reach the guy and I can't get a
hold him because he's driving back for 45 minutes and then it
hits me. He's probably put my weed into the mailbox. heard
back from him.
Oh, brother. shaggy dog story. A good punch line.
I can just imagine. Attorney General Hey, what's this?
Bud? Yeah.
Shifting gears the Queen's speech. This is yes. You
know, the Yes, I just, I was supposed to clip this. I didn't
clip it. I'm glad glad you did. Well, I
did something maybe lazy what was going on over there maybe is
a little irregular, watch it, explain it a bit, give some
background, the Queen's speech has already been kind of pre
telegraphed David Cameron and Jackie, whatever her name is
Jackie Holmes, I forget her name, the, the interior, she's
kind of the kind of like the secretary of DHS and Val evil.
And the Queen speech leads into new rules, which will, you won't
be able to say things that are against British values. And of
course, we played a very long clip of this Jackie woman on
radio four, trying to explain you know, I know what extremism
is, when I see it or, you know, things that everyone agrees
with, if you disagree with that's against British values.
Now, we have not seen the legislation yet that I didn't
expect it but the way this works in the UK, is the queen does her
Queen's speech and energy, pretty much, you know, states,
all these things are good, that are going to happen. And we have
to be resilient against cyber attacks and just all kinds of
stuff. But I love this theater. And even British Brits who I
know who would call themselves Republicans meaning they are not
you know, they're not all in on the monarchy. They all love the
what they call the it's tradition. And it's the big
show. And you know, it's the Queen isn't really in charge of
anything. I wonder, do people really have some kind of mask in
front of their faces, where here's how it happens, the
sergeant in arms or whoever, whoever the British equivalent
is walks into parliament, he does a turn shirring the Queen
wants you to all join her in the room, the Royal Hall, boom,
boom, and then they all walk out behind the guy with a golden
stick. Okay, this is yeah, it's still all just tradition. If you
have not that you're just being obedient slaves. And then the
Queen does about 10 minutes of talking. Now I cut this down to
make a point. To make a point and just listen to the words you
can stop me whenever you want to Jon's about a minute and a half.
And I've cut it up this way
my nose and members of the House of Commons. My government will
legislation the interests of everyone in our country. My
government will continue with its long term plan to provide
economic stability and security at every stage of life. My
government will bring forward legislation to reform trade
unions, My government will expand the troubled families
program. My government will secure the future of the
National Health Service, My government will work to bring
about a balanced economic recovery. My government will
continue to legislate for high speed rail links between the
different parts of the country. My government will also bring
forward legislation to secure a strong and lasting
constitutional settlement. My government will continue to work
in cooperation with the devolved administration's My government
will bring forward changes to the standing orders of the House
of Commons. My government will renegotiate the United Kingdom's
relationship with the European Union. My government will bring
forward proposals for a British Bill of Rights. My Lords and
Members of the House of Commons. My government will continue to
play a leading role in global affairs ministers will remain at
the forefront. Do you get it
right? Oh, yeah, yeah, no, her my government's government Mike,
do people not hear this? No, my lords, my government. mine mine
mine man this
either and people who are anti mon are the anti monarchists and
there's plenty of them in England, lots of them. And
they're
Republicans, they come Republicans, they
are very aware of this. And that's what they're always
bitching. I mean, why what if it's just a symbolic bullcrap
worth you know billions and billions of dollars for nice
symbolism if it's just symbolic completely symbolic
why all this my my my my my
Well not only that, but why would you have these anti
monarch has been so serious about getting rid of the
monarchy it's just it's ludicrous. The same she did
mention she did say in there and that I thought you're gonna send
give this speech where she apparently decides that they're
going to renegotiate with the EU she mentioned was in there and
it was in there. And she I guess is giving them the go ahead
because Cameron ran it as a campaign promise that they're
gonna have an in out vote and now he has backup. And yeah,
he's got backup. She's all in but,
but it is. It is different. renegotiate means you want to
stay in but you just want to have a better deal.
Well, that's what Cameron said. Cameron said they're going to
Cameron pretty much weaseled his way into this and out things
saying first, they're going to try to change the terms of the
agreement. And I think he wants to do that because if he can
Change it radically enough. They'll still have the in out
vote, but now there'll be it'll be easier not to vote to leave.
Right. Right. Right. And they're also switching they get to some
deal with switching. Sure. Yes. I think yes doesn't mean leave.
Yes, it means stay in.
I love that one. That was like that's like the California what
was it the gay marriage now?
Was it I forget what we did that we do that all the time. It was
like a prop
prop proposition eight and you voted for it. You were actually
against it. It's very confused. That's
what the Brits are trying very good. Very, very good.
I staying in the EU or euro land for a moment. The this is the EU
leaders have okayed military missions to halt Mediterranean
migration. First of all military missions of the seems more and
more like there will be a European army and EU army. And
there's two documents. I won't go through them. But I did put a
mark them up and put them in the show notes. The idea is that the
military is going to and again, you see Mediterranean
Mediterranean migration, not refugees from Libya, people who
you know, whose country had been destroyed and realize now yeah,
they're refugees. No, no, no, there they are. Mike migrants
not your heaven forbid
we call them refugees because they're refugees.
Representatives from the US 28 countries agreed on a joint
initiative against boats smuggling migrants, which carry
10s of 1000s of people attempting the perilous journey
from North Africa to Europe every single week. The idea is
to destroy the boats. Hopefully not there's people all right,
yeah, they're gonna blow up at the docks.
In the document published last week, the European Commission
announced a quota system to evenly distribute migrants who
was trafficking. The EU was trafficking deceit. Let's
distribute our migrants Whoa, that's like Bitcoin. I never
thought of it that way. That's very funny. That's actual that's
trafficking of human beings.
Yeah, you guys. You guys over here. You get Kennedy's guys.
Bring the tent over Yeah, hold on
a second. Let me see. Let me let me see his teeth and his hooves
let me see if he's if he's any good. It's reminiscent of times
from past so the the system will evenly distribute migrants who
arrive in Europe to relieve pressure off
fantastic this is human trafficking that is nailed it
the actual
definition Yeah, there you go. So human trap under under
military rule. With guns that's that's perfect.
Well, because they're migrants
my money so sad so sad. No one else really care
no one else? No, this is not this has no agenda stuff. Yeah,
me while I'm watching talking to you about this sort of thing.
International Affairs, Thom Hartmann Oh, thumb, your thumb
thumb Amazon on the rampage. Let me guess about the TPP. Well, a
little bit a little bit about the TPP especially the labeling
laws, he's come up I just have two clips. I want to play the
World Trade clip because I didn't do any research on
whether how much horse shit he's delivering here. But I realized
that Tom is on the bandwagon. Because so this shows a picture
of himself with his actually a pretty gorgeous looking cat. But
this is like a professional studio portrait of Tom with his
cat somewhat creepy. It's very creepy, but apparently the cat's
dead. And not in his not in the picture but but play the Tom
Hartman and his dead cat clip. And you'll wonder why he's on
the rampage about his about labeling laws. It isn't
I mean, he Yeah, people are looking down like a third this
year or something like that. But that does not have to do with
poisoned food coming into the United States. The World Trade
Organization just ruled that you and I as Americans no longer
have the right to ask our government on our behalf to
require labeling of country of origin. So we don't know where
stuff is coming from. And there are countries out there that use
pesticides that use hormones that use herbicides that use
chemicals to promote growth and store put foods that are illegal
in the United States because they kill people because they
cause cancer. You know, like I said, my cat my cat, you know,
we got some of that Chinese cat food and my cat you know,
there's picture of me dead.
Tell that to my cat. Right that hadn't been appropriately
regulated. Higgins would still be alive,
Higgins Higgins, but like he comes from Magnum PEI is that
Dick Higgins just got the biggest kick out of that. So
Chinese cat food killed Higgins. Yeah,
so he's out there buying that just you know, he's so aware of
things. He's buying Chinese cat food. Yeah. Oh,
a memo, dude. Once you give your cat the real food that the cat
would be interested in and not canned crap.
Well, you know, that brings me to my daughter and there's a
place in Berkeley that makes a cat food.
Michael Butler makes great dog food. Yeah, he
makes dog treats so Tricks Okay. By the way, Michael Butler says
hi. Oh, when
did you see him?
I just went over to his house the other day to pick up he is
now that Michael Butler,
longtime friend of the show but also a longtime friend John i
He's the the Rock and Roll geek rock and roll geek show. And
he's just, he's just one of the nicest guys in the world. He's
just nice to be genuinely nice
and second planar he's a complainer. But a really nice
guy. That's what he does. Yeah. And
so you went over your song.
Yeah. He actually listened to the show. I know you never
donates, but he listened. Now he is decided to become an amateur
butcher.
It makes total sense. Ben has a lot of regulation
involved to buying meat off the hoof. Yeah. And he got into it.
And then he read the I guess Michael Pollan's book and
decided he's never gonna buy store bought meat.
Haven't you? Haven't you purchased meat with him? Yeah,
yeah. Jointly in the past. Yeah.
Yeah. So I saw he just butchered himself butchered a pig up into
somewhere in Moran are in Sonoma County. And he brought all this
and he needs to get rid of some of it. And so I drew in to get
like 50 pounds of pig. And so I went over to his house to grab
the meat and brass what she said. And, and so I in the
process, as I was packing the the butchered meat in he's
apologizing for not being a good butcher butcher yet? Even though
he's taking classes. He said Say hi to Adam. Okay.
Oh, say hi back. Don't you have to if you want to do that at
home did he doesn't have the you have to
betcha he'll he can put the facilities up he lives out in
the middle of nowhere in the avenues. Yeah, so I know where
he's way out there right at the end, you know, pretty close to
the end. And it was just a foggy but pretty areas. Very nice.
Yeah. And yeah, I think he made some point might do that. And I
you know, I'm trying to get him I'm pushing him toward learning
the European style of butchery. Oh, which is different, which is
halala at this point, but
there's two guys in the audience. So get that joke.
Did you in the A Rabb the French
cuts are different than the American cuts of beef and pork
and lamb. And some of those cuts are pretty interesting. And they
let you cook differently and I just mentioned this to him
hoping that's
possible. They expand on that. I've never heard of the
difference in cuts. Oh, yeah,
the French cuts of meat are pretty much alien to what we
what we how we cut our meat and you get they looks different is
just cut differently. It's just you know, the you got an animal
and you can for example, it was just with a normal animal. You
can cut a T bone steaks, or you can cut little filets in New
York's I mean, it's like the just two different kinds of cuts
of the exact same piece of meat. Okay, and are Porterhouse would
be a better example. Do
they have names?
The Yeah, they do? I don't know any of them offhand.
I am actually Oh, I am genuinely interested. Oh, yeah.
There may be a butcher in and around, there's a lot of
butchers can do French cuts. And it's if you go to the old recipe
books, like the old original gastronomique are some of the
very old Kurama and some of these really old French chefs,
and you read their books, they talk about cuts, and you go
what, I don't know what this is. And it's a certain recipe for a
certain kind of meat that we do not make in this country because
you can cut the meat all kinds of different ways.
I've learned something new. Yes, you have.
And I assume the Germans have a different way of doing it too.
I need to commend you and congratulate you on being hands
down without a doubt the most skilled and expert email
marketer in the business.
Why is this? The news? Yes, because it's a good one
because of the newsletter. Yeah, which is always good. It's
always enjoyable to read, but it showed up in some people's
inboxes in a rather peculiar way I tweeted a picture of it how it
shows up but it there was something about what was the
subject line about analysis? Yeah, this let me see what it
what the real like real analysis
Yeah, this is a real and let me go look at
you did write it yourself.
I know but I can't I can't remember one thing.
I could probably find that if I really wanted to look for it.
I just look at my own name and email box and it should be there
at the bottom. That is but there's a bunch of other crap in
the way. This is very funny. Dire, it is your best analysis.
Your best analysis that was the subject line of the Your best
analysis of the scandals right? And it showed up yes, the iPhone
and some of the mobile devices not
not the is the iPhone email, the regular email. It didn't show up
that way. But I'm pretty sure Gmail truncated analysis to an
owl.
Yeah, it says your best Angel. Yeah, well, I'm now
and now.
So
I can't believe it got through the spam filters. Well, no,
they got through the spam filter. There was dinner was
truncated after the spam filter, right? That would be the way it
works. You're not gonna you're not gonna mess with the headline
yourself. And then hey, wait a minute.
Did you get a huge open rate?
I haven't checked the open rate.
Well in so that was funny. And congratulations. Good work. I
had to be very amused. I know you planned it. That was very
well done. We should try more. We should try more count the
count
your best to now. Sorry, can I can I? I'm thinking of ways of
yeah, just
count the characters and you can do many more fun things
dictator. All kinds of fun things. Yeah. But in there you
also made Martin you know, I'm going to call you back. Are you
on the Comcast are on the Hello, my question. Yeah, you're you're
cutting out a bit Are you on the Comcast or on the the other one?
Oh, I'm
not I'm on Comcast. Can
you switch? You can do that seamlessly? I think right? Yeah,
I
think so. Okay, you do that.
It's magic. In the newsletter while you're doing that, there
was a mention of the FIFA scandal very interesting. This
came out of nowhere and I shall play you. Let me see. Do I want
this No, I want to wait for you to kick that off. Let me see if
your back arrow that's so seamless. You there. I'm here.
Your am radio. It'll it'll
it'll snap out of your back. Because switched over
seamlessly.
Lovely. Alright. I have a couple clips but take us into the FIFA
because you wrote it up in the newsletter. And I also have some
ideas about it.
All right. Well, I have a number of I looked at all i This is one
of those things. I recorded all the network TV, national news
feeds and we need it. We need a background on what's going on.
And what happened was the United we got the new attorney general
and she decided Lynch Loretta Lynch decides to who used to be
a country with
the words out of my mouth. I was just about the same as Loretta
Lynn. But yeah, she Oh, okay. It's good enough.
She decided to make a name for herself by because you know, the
Attorney General wasn't going to go after the bankers and
apparently she's not either, but they decided some easy pickins
these five FIFA guys which we've bitched about for years, and
this is not like not news to us. And so she decides to go after
them for corruption because the United States did not get the
2022 World Cup and went to Qatar. And it was it was
obviously because of bribery. And so they arrested a bunch of
people found money find guys who flipped and they put a case
together in concert with the Swiss who if you listen to the
analysis of why the Swiss are involved, because the FIFA
headquarters and so as the IOC see I guess the those those guys
will be next if don't know they will be next because the Swiss,
the current Swiss government decided that they do not want
the reputation of of just harboring a bunch of these would
be racketeering criminal organizations in their country.
They just don't like it. They just say that we've fed up with
these guys that you know, they bring a lot of money through,
but most of it is, you know, illegal, they don't need it. So
they've decided, okay, we're all in on this. And so they jumped
in bed with us. And so the best version of the story, it turns
out, I think is on BBC World News. I think it's ABC that one
yeah, I think so. Let's play that
bow to that world cup bombshell tonight. All of those questions.
Why did the US lose the World Cup? Well, now a massive
crackdown by the FBI. Nine top officials accused of taking $150
million in bribes and kickbacks. briefcases stuffed with cash
raids around the world tonight and right here at home in Miami
and avcs chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross
following the money.
With officials hiding behind bedsheets, the biggest scandal
ever and the world's biggest sport unfolded in dramatic
fashion this morning with arrests in Zurich, Switzerland.
And the FBI raided Miami at the offices of the officials who
oversee soccer in the US and Central America. He had all
tonight nine of the most powerful men in the soccer world
stand accused of taking 10s of millions of dollars in bribes
cash in a briefcase in a Paris hotel room. Wire transfers to
Officer Our bank accounts even an expensive painting delivered
from a New York City Art Gallery. All for the officials
votes and authorities on where World Cup and other FIFA
tournament soccer games would be played and broadcast. This
really is the World Cup of fraud.
The winner is.
The investigation began after the US narrowly lost the 2022
World Cup to the country of Qatar amid allegations of
bribery. But almost immediately, there were questions about the
wisdom of holding the World Cup in the Arabian desert heat in
one of the hottest places on earth as we saw now about one in
the afternoon and the temperature is just at 124
degrees. Had the US won, it would have mattered estimated $5
billion to the 18 US cities which would have hosted the
games I think the ultimate victim is is soccer writ large.
But investigators say They also discovered payoffs that
benefited the US some $30 million in alleged bribes to
bring a major tournament, the so called Copa America games to the
US for the first time.
Mrs. Making world headlines tonight, Brian with us now we
saw 124 degrees when you were there in Qatar, which has
puzzled at the time, but any chance of a revote tonight.
Well, it's
not official saying the World Cup in Qatar and 2022 will go
ahead as scheduled, despite the allegations that it was bought
and paid for David.
All right. Before your analysis quick 13 second clip from CNN,
why should the us investigate and arrest? Well, that's simple
if you break the law on US soil and if you use their banks to do
it. Don't be surprised when the hammer comes down. And by the
way, when they get you on white collar crime here. They throw
away the key. Yeah, the bread. He didn't know what he's talking
about. Targeting totally bullcrap. Okay. All right.
So Bernie Madoff. That's what he's thinking. I have.
Yeah. The hammer down at Martha Stewart. And James Comey. Was
there the announcement along with Loretta Lynn Lynch, I have
those clips which may be interesting to just listen to.
Because it did a press conference it was Loretta and
call me and everybody was there and I think it's valid to listen
to it because I find this very strange and you know that
obviously there has to be something else behind it. Other
than using our world class financial system for fraud.
Here's the brand new attorney. Yeah, no, no, I'm, I'm gonna
stop there. But we can we can get
and I'm gonna move on to something else is going on?
Because this is not what why are we? Because there's somebody
using our banks for fraud. Are you kidding me?
Let's listen to what the attorney general says. And I
have an idea but then we can start to deconstruct as a lot of
different things that could be in play or maybe all of the
above the 14
defendants charged in the indictment we are unsealing
today include high ranking officials of FIFA, the
international organization responsible for regulating and
promoting soccer, leaders of regional and other governing
bodies under the FIFA umbrella and sports marketing executives
who according to the indictment, paid millions of dollars in
bribes and kickbacks to obtain lucrative media and marketing
rights to international soccer tournaments. The 47 count
indictment against these individuals includes charges of
racketeering, wire fraud, and money laundering conspiracy
spanning two decades.
And I'd like to point out that you'll hear from James Comey in
a moment of none of the HSBC executives committing massive
massive fraud with money laundering in with Mexico. No,
no one went to jail. No one was indicted, right? Yeah, from
drugs Exactly. Beginning
in 1991. Two generations of soccer officials, including the
then presidents of two regional soccer confederations under
FIFA, one being the Confederation of North Central
American and Caribbean association football known as
CONCACAF, which includes the US and the South American Football
Confederation or con meble, which represents organized
soccer in South America used their positions of trust within
their respective organizations to solicit bribes from sports
marketers in exchange for the commercial rights to their
soccer tournaments. They did this over and over year after
year, tournament after tournament. Now the criminal
activity that we've identified did not solely involve sports
marketing. Around 2004. Bidding began for the opportunity to
host the 2010 World Cup, which was ultimately awarded to South
Africa, the first time the tournament would be held on the
African continent. But even for this historic event, FIFA
executives and others corrupted the process by using bribes to
influence the hosting decision. The indictment also alleges
corruption and bribery extended to the 2011 presidential FIFA
election and two agreements regarding sponsorship of the
Brazilian national soccer team by a major US sportswear
company. In short, these individuals through these
organizations engaged in bribery to decide who would televise
games, where the games would be held, and who would run the
organization overseeing organized soccer worldwide, one
of the most popular sports around the globe.
Of course, no one gives a crap about it here in America.
Interesting points here. Very annoying, that she does not
mention who the sports marketing companies are. I believe there's
something called the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. And I
don't know if they're bribing politicians, but it doesn't seem
out of the out of the question. There's no evidence, but really
the only so they use the American banking system fine.
And they and we're a member of some organization never heard of
before, which may be big in the soccer world. And we're a member
of that. None of this seems warranted to have everybody show
up and all this big Oh, it's it's just crazy. It's just
outrageous what is going on? We can't have any of this. Here's
Comey.
It's an honor to join the attorney general in the US
attorney to announce this important case. And he is the
director of the FBI, which demonstrates I believe, that if
you touch our shores with your corrupt enterprise, whether that
is through meetings or through using our world class financial
system, world class will be held accountable for that corruption.
Nobody is above or beyond the law. Soccer. Football is an
egalitarian sport. It is the beautiful game because the pitch
is flat. It is available to anyone and everyone no matter
where you come from rich or poor boy or girl, you can enjoy the
beautiful game. It has lifted billions around this globe, and
is an incredibly popular and fast growing sport here in the
United States. The game according to the allegations,
and this indictment was hijacked that feeling better so famously
flat was made tilted in favor of those who are looking to gain at
the expense of countries and kids who are enjoying the game
of soccer. There's a danger that cynicism creeps into our lives
and the folks shrug and say well, that's just the way things
are that may be the way things are but that is not the way
things have to be. And one of the important lessons of this
case is that we will not stop until we send messages that this
is not the way things should be to message in a bottle. Now they
had this huge infographic in the background and I set it up so
you can take a look John it's FIFA dot grumpy radio.com
Okay, I thought that was a fun little domain name for us grumpy
radio.com Then you can see here they have the enterprise you got
it get that okay? They have okay so they have the the first slide
is you see FIFA and then there's a cough which were apparently a
member of and then you see below sport big red sports marketing
companies which to me is messaging. But the second page
which you scroll down a bit is even better the sports marketing
bribery scheme who are unnamed in this indictment and who just
unnamed is just a major I
even look it up traffic group is one of them I found that well
you could talking
right so you can see here how the money flows have and and how
the sports marketing companies are pretty much in the middle
and they're the the pass through of all of this money and sports
marketing what what do they market exactly?
I don't have no idea market on layer probably me REITs would
say they're in between they probably have something to do
with the SEC sports agents with what do they do? They do deals
deals.
So there's a couple of ways to there has to be something else
behind this. This is just it was too big. Although Comey isn't
well known for grandstanding. He's the guy that threw Martha
Stewart in the slammer, Big Hero, Big Hero Comey, now the
Director of FBI. So it could be a Clinton related thing saying
oh, well, you know, Qatar gave money. And then all of a sudden,
they were the host city for 2016. That's possible that was
mentioned in the newsletter. It turns out that the Clinton
Foundation has is somehow interconnected with this Gam
could be also it may be an out to get Clinton era we're seeing
more and more of these
where we've been talking about for years. Yes, about subtle
Clinton
go after Clinton by going after the foundation and the library.
According to reports. President Putin said all this is just
another blatant attempt by the US to meddle out Inside his
jurisdiction, Russia,
I would agree with that. Right? Yeah, I
think there's an element of that
jurisdiction. I used our bank. You know, you gotta you drove
you rented a car or
Well, the Department of Justice has jurisdiction in the United
States. I think that's what he means. And who knows how that's
translated from Russian. But the Russians have the 2018 World
Cup. So maybe that's a there was actually i read i
There may be some connection there, too. It's we're always
just giving it to Russia.
There was somewhere there was a oh, here it is. Yeah, this So
Senator, some senators picked it up that way. I'll read this to
you. US Senators call for resignation of FIFA headset
bladder. By the way, what kind of name is that? Sep bladder?
Bladder, Sep. Sep Sep Sepp Blatter VLA TTR, as US Senators
call for resignation of FIFA had set bladder for supporting
Russia 2018 World Cup. And this is McCain, of course, Oh, yeah.
Menendez said allowing Russia to host the World Cup would bolster
the Putin regime at a time when it should be condemned.
So whether this was to have Snowden
whether this was the plan or not, but I think there's there's
something else behind it. This happened two days before the
announcement. The beautiful
game has become the latest playing field between Israelis
and Palestinians.
And when I say the announcement, I mean the announcement of the
indictment of corruption charges
a world sport turned into a regional conflict. The
Palestinians want Israel suspended from FIFA, and they
want a vote at the FIFA Congress.
We are not interfering in the business of the Israeli Football
Federation. That's the proposal is do the acts and failures of
the Israeli Football Federation federation with regards to their
obligations towards FIFA rules and regulations. The
Palestinian Football Association objects to Israeli teams in the
West Bank. They also say Israel restricts movements of
Palestinian footballers. The Israel Football Association says
that's a question of security, which it has no control over.
Association president ofany says football can bring these two
sides together instead of forcing them apart. overseeing
this political sport. FIFA President Sepp Blatter who says
the world's most popular sport could be a bridge for peace. In
a visit to the region bladder met with both sides football
associations and political leaders to find a solution. He
suggested a match between the national teams in Zurich
football has the power to connect people. Football has the
power to construct bridges, and I'm coming here to try to
construct bridges.
Blatter opposes the vote that would be at the next FIFA
Congress scheduled for the end of the month. But he says it's
within the Palestinian associations right to call for
it. He says Israel follows all the FIFA rules and he doesn't
want to see a national team removed. The vote would require
75% of FIFA 209 member associations to suspend Israel
when bladder was asked what he thought the outcome of the vote
would be. He said I'm not a prophet.
I believe this is one of the if not the core reason that the
United States came in action Israel want does not you know,
like Screw you can't kick us out of FIFA. And of course the
claims are then I think probably valid. They don't let the
footballers practice freely move about freely all there's a whole
list of things and being kicked out of FIFA is a big deal is a
lot of money and a lot of kickbacks and just a lot going
on. And I think the bad signal went out it's like hold on a
second let's send these fuckers a message.
I think that's a fine analysis.
It's the best I can do.
I think it's not bad. It's good be I mean, the coincidence is
too close. That's the you know that coincidence here? I think
Matt and it was probably foretold I'm I'm sure that was
in the air so they could plan for this. Yeah.
But it's also handy to take it and say all bladder has to
resign and bladder. Of course, the guy saying Oh, go ahead with
your vote. He asked to resign and then we add in there like
you know you can't have Russia is not going to put up with
that. You can't have Russia hosting the 2018. And
then yet you can give Russia the needle and
but knowing what America does for Israel,
I think by the way, this may be the reason because I we picked
up on from various of I got it from a comment actually looked
it up. The Clinton Foundation has not been brought into the
story. No, by the mainstream media mainstream. We brought it
in. And I think other people have noticed it. But it's not in
the storyline. In fact, what you said is not in the storyline
either. So the storyline is just oh, look at the corruption,
Buster. Yeah. But I'm pretty
sure it's related to throwing their weight around. Yeah,
pretty much we can do. We're very good at it. extremely good
at speaking of Israel, why have there been no ISIS attacks in
Israel? Why do we not have ISIS in?
General? You read the memo the memo. Yeah.
Could you refresh my memory?
Yeah, the Defense Department memo says that we the Western
groups need to create the Islamic State Yes, for various
political reasons and then we can go continue our realisation
process,
but we get to we get ISIS at the border and ISIS in America we
get all that Israel isn't
crawling all over the place is one walking down the street
right now we're in the middle of Cebu hey go home go back.
Nothing to see here. ISIS we will follow them to the gate
ISIS chefs slain Nice. Alright, I have a couple of things that
just shorties
stuff. This is an interesting little the walker Museum. Not
sure what the punchline is I've forgotten the punchline of the
story. But the walker museum which is one of the most
important museums in the United States, art museums has a huge
collection of where and I've been there beautiful. Where's it
where's it looks into many in Minneapolis, okay. And
Minneapolis is kind of an artsy to Minneapolis, St. Paul.
They're kind of artsy towns. They have a lot of really cool
museums and they have like public art that's really not
well done. And you go roaming around and he's just there art
is everywhere. This in restaurants, it's all over the
place. It's very unusual place for that. So they've decided to
start selling it at the Walker, they decided to start selling
what's called intangibles, intangibles, something you
cannot touch is something you can add. It's an experience as
art. And so you buy these intangibles and you get nothing
really
what kind of intangible what kind of experiences are they
selling?
Well one of them for example, the guy on the guy on PBS
newshour
I liked that we that's what we sell. Yeah, well, so intangibles
it's also we're not selling anything but anyway, delivers
asking for help. We deliver intangibles,
the guy who's here's one of the things he got a dance
performance in the middle of the park out of the blue, just by
his he's bought the thing he bought whatever cost and then
they and they give just you get a set of instructions to walk
into the park and go over the bridge and say hello to the guy
in the orange. Oh, it's like a rally? Well, it's a little bit
but we'll use these for one person. And so you go he does
that. And then the guy he says hello and it got started dancing
around like an idiot. And that was his experience. And then
another one will be a bunch of there's one artist, one
photographer for 100 bucks, you get you get a series of his
photographs specifically made for you on Snapchat. So as they
appear they disappear in your I don't have Snapchat. Well, if
you throw a snapchat you wouldn't buy this, this
intangible. Alright,
I tell you, specifically for you as in me.
Yeah, it would be specifically for you. Yes. I got it. I got it
again. But there was a little anomaly in the report that I
just was taken aback. I first heard it, I had to replay me,
what are they talking about? In this regard? Play this, this and
tell me if you can spot the anomaly.
It's a very, it's a pretty tangible, intangible, and I'm
also trying to cover up holes in the wall.
Monica Larson was one of intangibles first customers, she
bought what was advertised as a potential art exhibit by the
design team known as rolling. Maybe the doorway that I was
just talking about could come in a little bit too. When we met
her that exhibit was becoming a reality in her own living room.
After purchasing a zip drive of images and videos, she selected
or curated the pieces she wish to display.
Well tangible, intangible, was a mistake. Normally I missed it.
Yeah, what was
it? And it has nothing to do with this story. It's like after
purchasing a zip drive here,
that's a tangible zip drive who has his drive?
It hasn't been on the market for a decade. What are you gonna do
with a zipper you ever seen one of these things are big
clunkers. So you have a zip drive and you look at this thing
go What the hell is this?
The chat room knew and by the way, zip drive and you see can
you still buy the on Ebay? I guess? No. Who would buy one?
Oh, that's right. It has the big the big hard floppy. Yeah, God
that's what she's been. Oh man.
So where is this report coming from? This is PBS are great news
hour and they're talking About zip drives.
Let me see if Amazon still sells them. That'd be funny. Zip
drives.
I actually have a USB zip drive you do actually put plug in and
on any USB system and actually read a zip drive if I ever had
any I don't even have one here you go
still for sale and I omega 31 714. USB 100 megabyte room
100 megabyte I laugh at you. zip drive $81.50
for 30 bucks, but that's pretty low. Yeah, on Amazon. I bought
for 30 bucks. 3536 bucks. Now I bought 128 gigabyte thumb drive.
Oh, of course,
of course. Yeah, that's a good anomaly. I wouldn't have caught
that. I forgot what a zip drive was. Yeah, that's the 9096 95
Yeah, I'm listening.
So I said I had to go back because it was something stuck
in my brain. Watching this report. It's very
funny. And I like that. You can I don't know if we, if I can
call this an official Red Book. checkmark. Because it's not
really being marketed by a huge firm yet, so it may have to stay
in but Monday after our show where I said you watch cricket
flour coming to cupcakes. I started getting all kinds of
emails. Here it is from next millennium. farms.com. Chocolate
zucchini cupcakes with cricket flour.
Yeah, see? Here's what I am not giving you any credit for this.
And I'm gonna tell you want to know why he asked me why. Why?
Because I believe this cricket flower thing has been going on
for a while you read about it. No, I wouldn't play and it's
stuck in the back of your brain. You forgot that you read about
and you threw it out? This is old memories. repressed memory.
repressed it. I would have repressed it. Cricket Flour then
you repressed it and then you brought it out? Okay, they for a
minute and my credit.
I'm sitting here. Oh man, I could use a cupcake right now.
Let me go see on the womb cricket flour. Look, I these.
someone's buying it. This is I'm telling you they're gonna let
you look your own daughter in
law. Eat my daughter not my daughter. Oh, even worse.
It's your own flesh and blood. Yes. As far as we know it's yeah
bugs Oh, yeah. bugs that we need. Maybe people liked that
jingle.
Which one the bugs
jingle Yeah, I think I should play it. Because that's people
Oh, that's my favorite general the moment
while the FIFA thing was going on on the same ABC News on this
exact same show, they had they actually ran the following story
that I'm gonna play. Breaking into not breaking news but
important news making newsmaker. Oh, this is new news making news
making by Hillary and they gave this report. This is the entire
report which was nothing more than a ABC again. Nothing more
than a free plug for Hillary with a stupid story.
Hillary Clinton in the meantime making headlines of her own
tonight we've seen the effect the White House could have on a
president will have launched about the evolving gray hair of
this tonight Mrs. Clinton making a prediction. I've been coloring
my hair for years.
You're not gonna see me turn right in the White House.
Hillary Clinton and her prediction tonight
I had the same clip. Maybe
Did you see those women in the bath what
I wanted to talk about because the woman off to her left from
our from our viewpoint, but she has a whole bunch of pearl on
Yeah, she has Pearl bracelets. The fat blonde. Yeah, yes.
Rubenesque. Yes. Let's listen to my clip. You might be able to
hear it even battery Clinton
in the meantime making headlines of her own seen the effect of
White House could have on a president
this listener was just clapping like crazy person making a
prediction. I'd been coloring my hair for years this is some kind
of i Why is that so hilarious. It's not. It must be something
about women who don't know age and color. Their hair I don't
understand is like Oh, wow. Gee, like the President Obama. Colors
his hair? Yeah, yes. Yeah. I picked up a quick little bit
which is part of a prediction that that was something we had
talked about, about the Castro brothers from Texas. and this
was the report one democratic
ally considered a potential running mate by some should fit
in when the nomination calls it a sideshow. What you have here
with his emails
is basically a witch hunt. Clinton is dominating the field,
a far cry from the crowded field of Republicans competing to be
their standard bearer.
So that is one of the Castro brothers from Texas now
mentioned as a possible vice presidential candidate for who
was Clinton? Yeah, they're Democrats.
Yeah. Wow. Guessing Oh, that's a disguise or at least deluded.
Well deluded? Well, he
didn't say that it was Andrea Mitchell. Who said it that did
that he's diluted. No, she said, potential vice presidential
candidate.
Well, she wouldn't have said it if it wasn't some they're
talking about.
Yeah, exactly. diluted, their diluted. Yes.
What they're really doing is they're they're soaking them for
money.
Oh, I got an answer. We've been asking. Oh, by the way, what's
his name, by the way? By the way, what's his name? The
Republicans and Toram he just now the other guy he just
announced this morning. I saw it Brian. Was it Bradley now? Who
is it? Bradley Bradley
Cooper.
Hold on. Announces run for president another another guy
another blast from the past. George Pataki. He announced this
morning. She's black but here's how it works. I got a
good I'm gonna be waiting for this. Yeah, okay. Oh, why are
they doing this? Well, how is the what's the money scam? Okay,
the money
scam is the following. And this is from the Christian Science
Monitor. Funded by all kinds of interesting groups, but looks
pretty good to me. The election is over what happened what
happens all the campaign cash, this is an older This is from
2012. But it kind of explains. So when you when you raise money
for your campaign, and you don't when you still if you don't
spend it all you still have money left over? Do you there's
a number of things you can do with it. And here's the Federal
Election Committee spokes whole surplus funds may be used in
connection with a future election funds may be
transferred between authorized committees of the same
candidate. Without limit as long as the committee making the
transfer has no debts outstanding. And then there's
some some legal pointers. Alternatively, a candidate may
read designate a former campaign committee as the principal
campaign committee of his or her current campaign, and use the
excess funds of the previous campaign in the current
campaign. So in this article, the way it's of course, you
can't spend it on on hookers and stuff. But you can go quite far
in this but the real deal is you can become a kingmaker. You can
if you raise a lot of money or you know even several million
dollars could be important to someone else. And so all these
all these it's a it's a power game. So you will have other
pieces of money. And I think all these guys are just jumping in a
so they can travel in private jets. And there's a lot of
things you can continue to do. Even though you're no longer
running in your campaign, you can designate committee that
will then spend that money on another candidate. So it's
really about becoming a kingmaker or a valuable
contributor to the actual winners campaign.
Yeah, okay.
That's as far as I could very
political it sounds right. And you get this you know, live it
up while you're running
our country in western star Loretta Lynch. Before she
started the FIFA indictment speech. Did you see you didn't
see the whole thing? Did
you know I didn't see anything. I
watched the whole thing. She started off with this. Somewhere
Hello. Bad edit on my part. Sorry. She's coming in.
Alright, good morning, everyone. Good morning. Thank you all for
being here today. Before we begin with today's announcement,
I do have a brief comment to make on the situation regarding
FISA. As Attorney General, I am committed to ensuring that this
nation protects the civil liberties of every American
while also keeping our country safe and secure. Unfortunately,
some of the vital and non controversial tools that we use
to combat terrorism and crime are scheduled to shut down on
Sunday, making this not an ordinary weekend. The House of
Representatives has passed a bipartisan bill called the USA
Freedom Act that would extend these tools while addressing
important and valid concerns about other aspects of the
government's ability to protect data. But without action from
the Senate, we will experience a serious lapse in our ability to
test the American people. Today I joined the president in urging
the Senate to work through the current recess in order to make
sure that we can continue to appropriately safeguard this
country and protect its citizens. Now for today's
announcement
Now when she's talking about tools, I wondered if there was
something about encryption in the Freedom Act, I could not
find it in the in the bill that passed the House. But I would
like people to help me on this because there are there is
reporting, here and there that this specifically deals with
encryption, the word encryption, as far as I can tell, doesn't
even show up in the USA Freedom Act. But there are some other
things that we haven't discussed, since all of this
was, you know, change has been through committee and it went
through a vote. And just a couple things I thought were
interesting to mention, check this patent out, we know that
what this really does is it allows the federal agencies to
just say to the telco companies, okay, we need this, this and
this, give it to us, and we'll take a look at it. And oh, by
the way, run it through this company FireEye or whatever
interim party and you are indemnified. And so this couple
of things in the Freedom Act that are worth noting, section
102, emergency authority, emergency authority for
production of tangible things, and it's interesting come that's
random number theory that comes up tangible comes up twice.
notwithstanding any other provision, Attorney General may
require the emergency production of tangible things if the
attorney general a reasonably determines that an emergency
situation requires the production of tangible things
for an order authorizing such production, be reasonably
determines that the factual basis for the issuance of an
order under the section to approve such production of
tangible things, and informs either personally or through a
designee a judge having jurisdiction under this time on
this section of the time that the Attorney General requires
the emergency production and makes an application in
accordance with this section. So there's a couple steps, but you
can then acquire all tangible things that could be computers,
drives, zip drives, for all I care can be a number of things.
So if this new attorney general is clearly manipulable,
manipulable, is that the right term? Yeah, yeah. Well, she's in
this early on the FIFA thing. I thought it was kind of
interesting to start up with a FIFA announcement with a FISA
comment. Yeah, that is odd.
Liability protection, that's the one we need to be looking at
section 105 no cause of action. So lie in any court against a
person person could be company. You know, that's how the law
works. Who a produces tangible things or provides information
facilities or technical assistance pursuant to an order
issued, or an emergency production required under this
section or be otherwise provides technical assistance to the
Government under this section or to implement the amendments made
to this section by the USA Freedom Act. So there's your
complete indemnification. These, you hand it over, if you even
help them, if you even hand over this and all of it, you're
completely indemnified and section 106 As amended by one or
two of this act, the government shall compensated person for
reasonable expenses incurred for producing tangible things. So
everyone makes out they make money.
Not it can't get sued. All right,
very just all superduper
I had a lawyer out there to tell me the following. Right now they
can't get to where if they changed it back, and they just
or just dropped this whole thing, or during this moment
where there's not going to be passed? Because it's going to be
it's going to expire for a couple of days. And they're
gonna all freak out. What about during that moment? Can you sue
somebody? I mean, is this lasts forever? And is it even legal?
Is it possible that the Supreme Court could throw out the
indemnification clauses? Throw it out, saying This is bullshit,
you can't do this. And then you can be sued? Well, there's
storage covered. I'd be very if I was a large company, I
wouldn't be all in on this.
Yeah. Well, there was. To me the the big gotcha was at the very
end page 44 section 701 sunsets. Remember, this is the USA
Freedom Act. And here in Section 71 of the USA Freedom Act, it
says, USA PATRIOT improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005.
is amended by striking June 1 2015 and inserting December
31 2017. Effectively, the USA Freedom Act extends the Patriot
Act until 2018. And the Intelligence Reform and
Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, also amended by striking
June 120 15, inserting December 31 2017. So what the hell is
this all about? And you can you can argue all you want about the
USA Freedom Act, but what it does is it extends the sunset
provision of
maybe no this this was not revealed to me
now. Well, I didn't know this either. But this is the the
version that passed the House
bus about about all June 1 is going to expire. What are we
going to They were all gonna die because people don't read these
documents. But it's like the congressmen that are saying it.
If they don't read
the documents, I guess it's disgusting. It takes a VJ
in your V J
I'm gonna show us move by donate to no agenda. I imagine all the
people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
we actually do have some people to thank for show 725 And let's
find out who they are. And thank them starting with Brian Walters
Dorf in Maryland Heights, Maryland. He came in with
$176.57
Now that he's going to be a knight so maybe read this No,
yeah, he'll read
this thing because he's going to be a nightie Sir Brian of the
mac and cheese St. Louis Lucianne. Into the order of the
plug in there. I think there's a few people in that order. My co
workers showed up to work yesterday talking about the his
kids are taking his kids to the Destination Imagination. 2015
Global finals in Knoxville, Tennessee over the weekend is
the NASA Disney program to inspire kids from kindergarten
through elementary level to get involved with space. Oh, it's
probably no no. He told me that keynote speech by Buzz Aldrin at
the opening of the convention welcoming delegations from all
over the world including China, Ukraine and Korea. He was
astonished at buzzes performance for the kids. I couldn't find
any news reports on it. But I found a few YouTube clips which
I combined to this full clip of the speech. It might be a little
long for the show. We didn't notice. It would be brilliant.
Drunk or not drunk. Yeah, right. That's
what we saw. Buzz Aldrin was drunk.
That's what he says possibly. I wouldn't surprise me. Anyway,
okay, on well, he
wanted to drunk or not drunk. And we'll be knighting you in a
bit. Right.
Donald Barofsky in Spokane, Washington. I think it's I think
it's Spokane Valley. He sent a note because it came in on the
over the over the transom. And unfortunately,
what does transom mean? Over the
you know over the
wire,
the transom logger Trejo came over he came through the door
and I only read I only read his notes maybe isn't Spokane empty?
Then there's another guy from spoken about no it says Spokane
Valley is where he's from. Eric lifted Valley out of transom is
the flat surface forming the sternum of a vessel a horizontal
beam reinforcing the sternum of vessel a strengthen then I don't
know what you're talking about, man.
I it's a it's a it's a colloquialism. I only read this
because it comes in on official stationery from the United
Federation of Planets.
Of course this is through the transom then. Yes, exactly. By
definition
in the morning, gentlemen, he says on his note, my pitons is
not enough to turn around the trend of low contributions. But
as the Reverend Sharpton says resist we much yet. Keep up the
good fight. Don Borowsky wa six. Oh, am I
seven threes? Could you send me a picture of the stationery? I'd
like to see that.
Okay, good. You can probably look it up. I'm sure it's
online. Everyone who's a member of the Federation has has has
stationery and stationery. Edward Hallstein, San Francisco,
California $100. He thought he liked the Pfeiffer cat and that
was good. Yeah. Well, the joke was it's fixed. Get it? Yeah. I
know some people didn't get it. Ben Smith in Greenville, Texas.
$100 You got a birthday coming up Michael bowling in
Watsonville, California and bowling also sent in Minotti and
through the transom. And I believe he's going to be
knighted. So he wrote a handwritten note that is
unreadable. Okay. He's something something I'd have to look it
over. It's
like the idea that people people are sending handwritten notes
but right you and this
but this is written in appears to be written in pencil. Just to
I don't know. I Oh, that's right. That's what he he sent
some coasters in. He is actually this guy is no slouch. He is a
an engineer with a with a big aerospace company. I won't
mention their name. But they're big. And they're noteworthy. And
I think you
it's only a few John. It's okay. We get it.
It's big. That's really big. And he said inside he sent us a
challenge coin from something they did the company and then he
sent a couple of coasters which which have, which apparently
they've passed around at the company. And on one side it's
got a little puppy dog says if you see something Oh no, you
flip it over and it says say something and on the back, it's
got a duck, Mother Duck with three ducklings following her
and a small chick like a hand following the three ducklings
and there's a big duck and there's they following him and
think so this to these guys is hilarious because if you see
something, say something and there's a chicken in a line of
ducks, this is you know, what level of humor we're dealing
with your lingo.
That's almost a Bill Nye science guy level humor.
And it's totally Bill nice. Anyway, he just wants to be
knighted, sir. Bowling. I would say Bowling for dollars or
somebody's bullies fine, Sir William low rock and locusts

which I thought was interesting. It's not our sights goal to be a
completely free speech platform she says so Reddit will be
ruined because people are going to be stuff will be deleted but
more importantly read it is not I'm sorry.
I'm saying she's big talk doesn't mean read it's going to
be ruined or they're going to actually do anything okay, give
you a moderate
mild let me see what she what the rest of the article cheese.
This was article this was from ah, it's a harassment for
bullying. Yeah, they're gonna be deleting bullets. Yeah, they're
gonna be deleting things for bullying course you know that's
gonna happen. But maybe more exciting is that Reddit is now
an official funding partner of Tor. Good work. Yeah.
So I'd say you're doing tech news. Is that what you're doing?
I can even play the jingle. I got tech news. I
didn't know as to why. That's tech news. Oh.
Just because there's not a watch or a phone now
but dance tech. You don't know what tech news is?
I know what tech news is.
Our tech news is about a hail apple.
Hail apple. All right. Looks like Motorola. Sorry. Ah, here
we go. Good phones a landline and the phone should be made out
of Bakelite.
Alright everybody, there you go. It's tech news. John C. Dvorak
has tech news tech news tech news tech. Hey, lol
I well you I thought you were still talking about your story.
Well I have stories but Okay, well
let's do it low tech news this rule combination thing on only
one of the network's played this particular story, which is I
find weird. It's the Airbus 330. Singapore engine failure story.
Oh, yes. Seems kind of disconcerning
we turned out to that scare in the air of passenger jet
virtually brand new, somehow both engines giving out at the
same time dropping 13,000 feet ABCs David Kerley with what
those pilots did next.
With 194 people on board it was a wide body Airbus A 330. Like
this one that suddenly lost power to both of its engines. It
was cruising more than three hours into its flight from
Singapore to Shanghai at 39,000 feet in bad weather. When the
engines shut down no power,
the jet would lose 13,000 feet in altitude before pilots were
able to get both of the engines working. When you've got a
highly computerized airplane. Maybe this was a glitch in the
probe.
Whatever it was on a new airplane, it's highly unusual.
Singapore Airlines
tells us the first engine restarted almost immediately.
Procedures call for the pilots to descend keeping speed up and
then turn the engine start switch to try and reignite the
jet engine.
It worked. The jet landed safely and mechanics found nothing
unusual on the week's old jetliner David this happened
over the weekend. We don't even know if passengers were aware
Singapore Airlines Airbus and the engine maker Rolls Royce
apparently still trying to figure out why both engines shut
down.
David on the bus trains good planes bad this this report did
a better job than most reports are read online which had the
headline plane plunges 13,000 feet as both engines fail. So
they went into a obviously a controlled descent which is
quite normal. And if they flamed out i There's no news yet.
There's just not enough information to figure it out. If
they flamed out Yeah, your following procedure you you you
descend and then you when you're when there's actual oxygen that
can be used to to re fire the engines you re fire him. I don't
know when but this does seem very closely related to the
Airbus the 400. This is the military aircraft that two of
them I think have crashed now of the most recent one killing a
couple people who are on the on the test. But this is all
unintended consequences of technology. But now you have to
go look for bugs or glitches. This is pissing me off. Did you
hear him? I'm sure you heard about the iPhone text crash?
Yeah, well, here
it is. iPhone malware.
Okay. I couldn't find Oh, yes. Well, Apple is working on a fix
for a messaging bug that can cause us to shut down and
restore. Users see a text message containing a string of
characters some and Arabic, then their phones just crash. The bug
is allegedly not limited to the iPhone. If the code is sent via
SMS text it can also trigger a shutdown of other phones as
well.
Seems like some sort of malware to me.
I thought I had a clip of from CNBC political edge. Oh 20
times. What somehow I didn't. Maybe I'll find it before the
end of the show. So a lot a lot of people calling this a glitch.
And I do know what happens. It's an axe. I tried it on myself.
You know, I had a friend send this this message to me and it
didn't crash. Oh, this is bogus. But that's because I have all
notifications turned off on my phone. That is the notification
part of the part of the OS that can I mean, really, you can
handle double byte encoded stuff is or Unicode is that the
problem with these Arabic is like does it relatively easy
fix. But how someone figured this out?
Much? Remember the funny gag? It isn't
Do you remember there was this? There was a similar gag. It was
a one line pa I think was a PHP one line and if you had
someone's IP address, then you fired that script. It would give
windows the immediate blue screen of death. Oh cool. Now
I'm talking must have been 98
there's still stuff out there like that. Nobody cares anymore.
But it was fun. But I want to commend you Oh, I don't know why
should be doing all this today. Nice article and PC mag. Ah the
Internet of Things a surveillance state in disguise
Yes, very good. I have a link in the show notes
that was actually triggered by some listeners who kept
pestering me. What do you think about the Internet of Things?
What do you think about the internet? I
know that guy, I recognize his voice. I
said, you've heard him always around. What do you think about
the Internet of Things? I haven't read that. You've heard.
I've written about the Internet of things now and again, but now
I said, Okay, let me just focus on the internet of things to
tell you what I think. Very good, what I think very good.
And I have three clips from Vint Cerf. Who is, you know, we, I
guess we have to be thankful because he helped create pro TCP
IP, TCP. I brought this to IP stack. And of course, along with
that goes Bob Metcalf, I guess who had who came up with the
Ethernet. But that kind of goes hand in hand. So Vint Cerf? Who
is and he works for Google.
He I don't think he works there anymore. Does he? Oh, yeah. Oh,
yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. He's
a VP, Senior Advisor, etc. And, you know, he's so Google ized
that he's, he's arrogant. But here's the here's an example of
his arrogance. And this is thinking that is inside Google
at a VP level at an advisory level talk and write. And this
is very telling just a short clip. He started MCI Mail. This
was the email service from MCI it was pre pre internet, I
guess, was it was that pre internet?
Yes, sir. Well, it was no, it was coincident, but it was pre
Web.
Yes, pre web. And then he left and then he came back. And so
they had MCI Mail. But the internet was taking off and MCI
Mail didn't make much more sense. And so they decided to
shut it down. But just listen to the arrogance, you know,
understand how Google thinks about its users. And around
2003,
it was very clear that charging people for email wasn't exactly
a great business model anymore. So we shut down the MCI Mail
Service. And I got a whole bunch of angry emails from reporters
who said, I've had my MCI Mail address since 1983. How can you
do this? But the honest answer is that it was time for that
service to go.
Yeah, that's how Google thinks he could have easily given 40
email addresses or something like that, now to set something
up. But he actually does the voice in my mind when you made
the email. So that's how good that's the thinking inside of
Google about users, when they're gonna just kind of shut
something off because they don't give
a crap. They do, then Google does that constantly.
Here's the Internet of Things. Clip from Vint Cerf. And
obviously, he's all in
so you can do me two favors one, as individuals, talk to your
ISPs and demand and answer when am I going to get ipv6
addresses? I want dates and times. And second, as reporters,
will you kindly do the same thing, but do so with the
megaphone that is afforded to you by the fourth estate? Now,
why do I care about having lots more on IP addresses? Well, one
answer is the next wave of stuff is the Internet of Things. You
all know that, yeah. But this is real. It's real, every appliance
that you can possibly imagine if shifting from electromechanical
controls, to programmable controls. And once you put a
computer inside of anything, there's an opportunity to put it
on the net. Now, there are good things and bad things about
that. The good thing about the internet is everything is
connected. The bad thing about the internet is everything is
connected. So we really need the address space in order to
accommodate this explosion of devices. Cisco says that there
may be 50 billion devices by 2020. And you know, they may not
be as crazy as it sounds, because every light bulb could
potentially have its own IP address.
My light bulbs have their own way they don't have their own IP
address internally. They do the Philips Hue that I've that I've
been playing around with. That's interesting as it's interesting,
but so he's feeling very hard for the ipv6 but I
don't know he wants IP he put has a t shirt. It says IP
everywhere. It's one of his
jokes. Why is it so hard for ipv6? Why don't people imply see
that? I see the my computers have ipv6?
It's all prepared. Yeah. Okay. Because the back end the the
infrastructure on the other side or not? It's not cheap. Here
yeah, here spend all these all this money for IP, IP v six that
really not that many people really give a shit about?
Yeah, they've got their IP address. They don't care. Yeah.
But there's, there's a
there's aggravate and you can't you can never write it out. What
is the ipv6, which IP addresses is like a million miles long?
Yeah, you can't remember it like we used to. I'm able to remember
a few. There's now a market in ipv4 class, like Class C,
address space, you can sell that at a nice Mark markup because we
are running out,
run out actually, if it wasn't for network address translation,
we wouldn't we wouldn't have enough
now here's the last clip and this We fake it. Yes, we do.
This boggled my mind, here is Vint Cerf. Debunking the net
neutrality issue. I don't think he even knows what he's saying.
No, in fact, I know he doesn't know what he's saying. And he is
telling us why Netflix is buffering. Now the popular
story, we heard the story that the President has reiterated
that every tech or tech or any person has said, Oh, this is
because of how the peering is working. They're not paying for
it and all the transit fees. Now, I don't know. VINT CERF is
going to tell us what is really happening, the label
is bufferbloat. And you might think, okay, so what is this,
when you're watching streaming videos, you've ever noticed that
sometimes they get real jerky and things slow down, and the
delays are going up, and you sit there waiting for things to
reload.
He's describing Netflix buffering issues, I believe,
could also be YouTube, but I think he's saying what we're
talking about here?
Well, it turns out that it is not true, that having more
buffer memory space is always a good thing. Let me explain. You
have a router at home, typically, maybe it's supplied
by a cable or telco company, or maybe you bought one and
installed it, or you hired a geek to do that. And so this
thing has memory in it. And imagine for a moment that you're
running a local network at home, and it's running and maybe 100
megabits per second, or maybe 10 megabits or maybe even a gigabit
per second. But the connection that you have out to the rest of
the world is not running that fast, unless you happen to be on
one of the Google fiber networks, in which case, you're
getting a gigabit per second, but most of them don't quite get
that speed. So what happens, the program that you have running
and you're inside the house is pushing data like crazy into
this buffer, which is filling up and emptying slowly, because the
data rate on the other end is slower than the rate at which
you're pumping it in. Which means that there is increasing
amounts of delay from the standpoint of the sender over
here, waiting to hear acknowledgments coming back from
the other end. At some point, the program inside your house is
saying, oh my god, they didn't get what I sent, I better send
it again. And so you keep retransmitting pretty soon you
create a highly congested condition. So it's
counterintuitive, but what you have to do is to design the
system so that it doesn't put too much buffer space in the
path, it should put only enough to deal with the differential
between the high speed and low speed side. Of course, this also
works the other direction.
To me, that is undocumented not discussed the issue that most
certainly could be has been attributed.
But I actually don't know what he's talking about. No, no, no.
What relationship it has the net neutrality.
Well, I'll you don't hear you're playing with your toys. You
weren't listening. No, especially stuff fell over. I
was so he says sometimes you get buffering. on Netflix. He didn't
say Netflix but buffering. And he says that is attributed to
buffer bloat in your router. And not so we've never heard that
part. People may be experiencing bufferbloat. But thinking it's
some other net neutrality issue. Yeah, I'll look into it. Okay,
all right. Don't hurt yourself.
I won't leave me. Okay, back to the
I do want to mention, I do want to mention the no agenda show
servers are all ipv6 compliant. Thank you very much. Boyd. 0.0
is
the best. Yeah, hell yeah. How's he doing, by the way? So I sent
him a note to it. He was when he was ill, and
he's doing great. He's great. He'll have a pretty interesting
announcement coming up in a month or so. Good.
Okay, let's go on smartphone usage research. That was an
interesting little tech news item
smartphone. Where are we? Oh, here we go. segment about
phones.
As you would tech news without a phone, bicycle without a woman.
Maybe we'll report on technology trends reveal some interesting
statistics on the mobile habits of young adults first off 87% of
those between the ages of 18 and 34. Always that is always have
their mobile devices with them. Say the first thing they do when
they wake up is reach for their smartphones. And secondly, 78%
spend more than two hours a day using their smartphones.
Very interesting. And I wanted to mention along with this, I
want to mention that I have been experimenting with keeping all
keeping the phone completely silent all notifications off.
The I even have the ones that do not disturb thing on and it is
fantastic for a couple of reasons. One, your battery life
is extended by at least a third. Yeah, maybe even 33% It's really
quite noticeable and second. Ah. No Pavlov's In responses, you
just pick up the phone from time to time, you know, no one needs
to get me in a hurry.
But if they don't, you're not a you're not a surgeon on call,
I'm not
a fireman. So I don't, it's easy for me to say. And you can even
set up your your iPhone so that special numbers do get through
if somebody calls but this has been such a lovely change. Well,
you
know, my phone right now is off. Yes, yeah,
it's off. But I also have started turning it off. If I go
to spin class, I'll just turn it off. I'm gonna leave that thing
on it. Yes, spin class. Yes,
yes. All right. Let's go onward with the more tech news. I get
tech news digitally connected story. Says gig Italy starts
with the word tech.
Okay. Got it. Here we get. A new report shows that in five years,
80% of the entire world's internet consumption will be
dominated by video, Cisco published its annual study today
looking into the near future of the Internet. The study shows
part of the growth in online videos will come from adding new
people to the worldwide web. And more than half the world's
population will be digitally connected.
Great last story, then we're done.
I have let me interject one before. Yeah, I'll let you do
the the final. Final. Paul Krugman crew mail your buddy.
Hey, he is the he's the on staff. Economist she'll
economist for the New York Times.
For the elites,
yes. Do you do you read him or you read him?
Yeah. Once in a while.
He published his column titled The big man myth,
the big man hair.
And too, too long don't read the he says that even if you take in
all of the tech, not technological advances into
account that really the the contribution to the economy is
pretty much just as crappy as we were in the 70s and 80s that it
has not added anything to our bottom line. Yeah. And and he
said, Well, we keep hearing about Internet of Things. It's
going to change everything and maybe maybe maybe, but all this
other stuff, according to his calculations has not really
changed our bottom line as as a country.
Good for him. My family true. Yeah. missing most of this is
bogus. He said,
The Techno revolution. It was a one time spurt which about a
decade ago it sputtered out since then we'd be living in an
era of iPhones, iPads. I don't know. It's very funny, Paul. But
even if you adjust for the effects of financial crisis,
growth and trends and income have reverted to the
sluggishness that characterized the 1970s in the 1980s
and 1970s. In particular, because this is a 40 year cycle
and you have a down decade and the dead in the 70s you have in
this decade and that's that and just as a bit specious. Don't
tell the president
right. One last little story and this is really just kind of tech
news. This this don't want to play the clip. Yeah, there's
there's a space excellent queued up. Now you always like to talk
about the wars between
Oh, Airbus and Boeing, yes. But Airbus
and Boeing. What do you think is going to? I'm just putting this
out there for thought and maybe I'll put a write it up in the
Red Book. What do you think's going to happen to musk and to
end Tesla and SpaceX? If they're gonna if this is if this story
actually goes into play?
Well, I don't know exactly what the story is. So we'll play it.
Okay. The Air Force is certified the California SpaceX rocket
design and manufacturing company to launch military and spy
satellites. A joint venture between Lockheed Martin and
Boeing has had a monopoly on those launches since 2006.
The privately held company is headed by Tesla CEO, Elon Musk,
it already contracts with NASA to ferry cargo and cruise to the
International Space Station.
What is going to happen to those guys
don't you think that this is a bit much they're stepping right
on Boeing's territory here
it's a good way to look don't get in the hot tub Elon of hot
tubs are not your friend in this case.
You know Boeing's always his his friendly can't be very nasty
competitors. Ya and it took McDonnell Douglas out, but
we know that there's at least the possibility that there's an
all out war between these two this is so big these arrow arrow
this isn't millions
and billions of dollars. It doesn't nothing to sneeze at.
No, it's a rough game rough game and it's easy to kill people.
But we'll see I just thought I'd throw that out as the end of the
tech news segment. On my phone, the way I see it, the only good
phones a landline and the phone should be made out of Bakelite.
You let them run over weekend innocent PayPal handle the
everybody next you stupid self centered yuppies. I will kick
your ass. Hi, I'm sick of your crap.
Is somebody monitoring this guy's a proxy? Yes,
they do it so we don't have to. Well, they're doing a great job
was great. I did have a minor tech. I just love
that much. I'm sorry. I didn't know he blew up, apparently.
I do want to mention we started uh, no agenda slack.
Yeah, you I saw the invite for that. I didn't know if it was,
did you send me one? Or was it part of the let me grab your
whole address book and send everyone an invite? No, no,
you can add your domain name for people to auto sign up. I'm
certainly not going to be taking emails from people and manually
sign them up. But you can't add a gmail.com. You can't add
yahoo.com. But it was able to add hotmail.com and hush.com. So
I just had need a little account. But it's it's very
interesting. First, I like that these guys have everything wide
open. You can add RSS feeds you can
we'll stop for a second and tell me what what is this product,
this product
is, in short a front end to an IRC server. Not that that's the
technology. But when you look at it, it functions just like an
IRC server, you can create channels, but it's a web
interface. You can actually connect to it with an IRC
client. You can you could connect her with an XM XML or
XMPP client. It's all the same thing, which is why makes it
interesting. And we have one of the oldest type of
decentralized, although this is not decentralized. When the
oldest type of chat room systems being IRC. I always like it when
people repurpose things. And just it's the context of it that
makes it work. And it's I have to say is it's interesting.
We've, we have 70 or 80 people in now. Why would I want to join
it? You don't? Is it a chat room? Yes, in a way, it's a chat
room. But of course it's not. It's not a full time. You know,
everything's archived. It's
all searchable. The chat room was an archive.
Yeah, that's one way of looking at it. It's all the context. But
the context is is interesting. So
context is king. Yes. And I have liked that. I'm going to break
down that context is king. Okay. I amused myself. Yeah.
Did you have you didn't have anything on the PBS Frontline? I
thought you would have
came out. I would have some clips. No, I didn't make any
clips because it was like, it was hard, too hard to make clips
because it was a propaganda piece. I'll say. And yeah. And
it was such a contrast to the previous one. Which I mentioned,
I think in the newsletter, that one the one that he did on the
on the what was it the week before was we talked about and I
forgot already got to it was about something bad. And then
they did this.
It it was about the Osama bin Laden, right. It was about the
bull crap or the surrounding bin Laden. And this one was about
torture. It's about torture is about. That's it. That's and
this one was about the war. And it just seemed that there was
they would bothered me as they had these Deus Ex ambassador and
he's coming out and talking about why it was promoting boots
on the ground is what it was 10,000 and they were bringing
out these old memes Oh, they're using weapons, you know, they
were using gas.
And they were gonna have chlorine chlorine gas, which was
which has been debunked now to an extreme by universities and
everybody in between that it was the rebels that use the gas, not
the Syrian government. And when I started seeing this old bull
crap meme is appearing as what is this? This is not normal. And
so I'm guessing this was like some sort of after they did that
blast, the previous one where they had the the Feinstein and
that report, and they were just giving it to everybody that I
think this was a make good.
Yeah, I did watch the whole thing. And I found it
interesting that no one from the Obama administration cared to
appear on the program, but little Smurf man, what's his
name? Dempsey. He was interviewed. He
was all over. Yeah, he was all over it.
I don't see how he gets a pass to do that.
I don't know. I did see it and take it was a good show. I
thought it was a I agree. It's very slanted.
I agree. I did catch up. Bob Woodward. Uh, Bob Woodward. Is
he does he have a political affiliation?
He's the CIA guy. Oh, Bob Woodward.
Yeah. Isn't he one of the All the President's Men? Yeah.
He's the guy. He's in the book.
Ah, okay. That then, guys is the axe. Yes.
It's guy that was brought into the Washington as a favor to
someone. And he writes all these books that no one no one could
possibly be writing. Yeah,
well, that that is that explains this clip which mines will
play? Yes. Well, I mean, a rock is a symbol. And you certainly
can make a persuasive argument. It was a mistake. But there's a
kind of line going along that bush in the other people lied
about this, I spent 18 months looking at how Bush decided to
invade Iraq and lots of mistakes. But it was Bush
telling George Tenet, the CIA director, don't let anyone
stretch the case on WMD. And he was the one who was skeptical.
And if you tried to summarize why we went into Iraq, it was
momentum, that war plan kept getting better and easier. And
finally, at the end, people were saying, hey, look, it'll only
take a week or two. And early on, it looked like it was going
to take a year or 18 months and so Bush pulled the trigger. A
mistake certainly can be argued and there's an abundance of
evidence but there was no lie in this. How does
that jive with anything? Wow. Besides being a Jim sighs being
a CIA saw
I was watching back then I was watching Wolfowitz and testimony
literally say we know where the weapons are we know exactly
where they're buried. And he went on and on like this it was
just all right lie. Well, how
does he even jive with with the West Clark seven? I know what
that was. That was actually the West Clark seven. Yeah. I was
straight doesn't.
And I would say that this is again, a the approach of just
let's let's just rewrite history and have the right guy say it
over and over and over again, like the the frontline show that
talked about the gassing of the civilians, which was not done by
the government. And it was proven not to be permanent.
Right. That's just just as keep bringing it up. It did
immediately go along and let's just rewrite history. For
whatever reason, there's some reason behind it. And that's
apparently what Woodward's up to here. That's just rewrite
history and just saves it say they'll repeat a lie. enough
times. Yeah.
And then and on Memorial Day, this happened at 530.
A drone crash right in the middle of a Memorial Day Parade
in Marblehead the tiny aircraft hit a building then hit a man
the drones operator told police he never thought the gadget
could do any damage.
I spoke with the victim who fortunately
this is the problem I never thought it could crash that's
impossible. It's technology possible How could that happen?
I didn't expect it to crash
well you bring that up we should mention the six week cycle is
upon us ah June 1 Just when the Patriot Act is supposed to
expire
though it would be time for that would be a good time for a big a
big scare and we're a
bunch of little scares which I think is the model they're using
now and then a commentary about all are homegrown terrorists are
all over the place and rested some guy the other you know just
right wingers are all up in arms about this. Oh they found a two
guys they would do horrible terrorist or from diet and oh
San Diego or someplace they were going to join either gonna fly
to Turkey and join ISIS. Who cares if they want to fly to
Turkey and go kill themselves with these idiots I don't see
what the big deal was said what how's that a threat to us all
they're gonna come back and they're gonna bet they're gonna
kill themselves here I just none of this makes any sense.
I wonder I would think it would be some form of planning for an
EMP because EMP has been big most recently. My net one who
I'm it would be someone who planned
and oh yeah, well, the whole thing is going to whatever it is
is going to be bogus.
Also this what's his name? Cantlie which I really just
can't lie that's the the bread who still apparently is held
hostage by ISIS. ISIL is and he's reporting now in this new
magazine. So it's what is this thing called the new there's a
new and not the Inspire? It is. What is this thing called? Duck
beak, bad name. The Veeck dubby D A B IQ. Bad name bad and
that's
about it sounds like a like a like a fountain pen.
And in this he has a column. This hostage to John.
Column. Yeah. He has a column. Everybody's trying to get into
the act. Yeah,
well, he's over there and he's got nothing better to do. He's
got his orange suit on my eyes. Alright, a column And he says,
oh, you know, it looks like ISIS is ready and has enough money to
acquire a nuclear weapon. And that, of course, would be used
for an EMP. I'm just trying to lay it out as possibilities for
the six week cycle. If anybody has any other ideas, we're open
to him.
Well, we'll see shortly, because most of these are just FBI sting
operations that they've set up, set up some dummy. They haven't
had anything, you know, interesting, like, the naval
base shooting that was kind of interesting. And the maniac
Doctor shot up the other the Fort Hood shooter that's that
was unusual. And some of these other things I would do now the
theater shooting would work, but they get this other guy on the
stage now this clown from Aurora. And they didn't have to
reveal this built book on that wish I wrote some of it down.
They showed pages of it, we got to get a hold of his notebook.
This is the Joker, the Joker. He's got the notebook, and some
of the stuff in the notebook is crazy. That guy has been
programmed. And can you see you can see the programming fail.
And and the failure of the programming is what caused this
incident. I'm sure of it, if you look at it yet, but this
somebody's got to have a copy of the notebook because they
released it. In the I think the prosecutor we asked we need a
copy of this is what you're saying is there are some lines
in there that are like because they're just showing it on the
to on TV, and there's some crazy one liners in there. Like what
is this mean? So that's got to be obtained?
I think I can also see some form of international incident or
accident in the South China Sea. There's just too much of this.
And yeah, they're doing too much of a lead up. Yeah, we had. We
had CNN all of a sudden, we had CNN oh, we're on the secret spy
plane. No one's allowed on it. I immediately got emails from our
friends and in military who said that's not the secret spy plane.
That's not that's the one that's playing surveillance. Yeah. And
someone else said if it was really the Chinese navy, they
wouldn't have said this is Chinese navy. They would have
said this is the army Chinese Army Navy. Something changes.
You always have it's everything's a division of the
army. There's no Chinese navy.
And, well, I've
got one good funny kind of a thing left. About time. For so I
just was tuning in, I was eating breakfast, so I turned on the
What were you eating for breakfast? I was having
oatmeal. The way you make it. Yeah, the good way. Good. Good.
Excellent.
And I caught the good, good Kelly and Michael show the
screen, whatever it's called. Highly recommend.
I haven't watched it since it was Regis and Kathie Lee.
Yeah, it was a long time ago. Yeah. Now it's the same show
that yakking in Venice, this stray hand guy who is nice
enough guy but he has a lisp. And he's always got these guys
as phony laugh where's
he where's this guy for? I don't know anything about it was
football
player. He's the defensive end. For the Jets, I believe New York
Jets. And he went into media. And he's you know, he's
personable. And he's got a big gap in his teeth. And he looks
normal. If you call that individual only 76 foot eight or
something, and big. But they go on and on about this. Kelly Ripa
has a story about her, I guess she sends her kids to some
private school in New York is pretty much the only thing you
can do must cost a fortune. And she's discussing, which I think
is the most decadent, almost insulting, camping trip that the
kids go on, which is an urban camping trip, where they go in
there with no money they go supposed to spend the night in
New York somehow, like poor kids like like homeless kids in some
very pretentious way. I just found this extremely insulting.
And on many levels as people were laughing and thinking this
is so funny, and it was so great that the kids would have life
lessons. And then at the end, I gotta jump prefacing the whole
thing for you. At the end, she talks about her son when he did
this. He had a real life lesson and then the anecdote she gives
is not a life lesson in any way at some bullshit, but a replay
but she's got like a camping trip
with a jigsaw. It's what they do is they go camping. It's sort of
a it's a life experience trip where they they camp throughout
the city without any money, the five boroughs of Manhattan
without money, and they it's a team bonding experience. So they
live in shelters, wash dishes for their lunch, and they and
they live a life of children who might not have anything. And
except I except, like, I caught her cell phone. I was like,
What's this? You can $20 And she's like, No, I need to hide
$20 I'm like, do you get not? No, no, no. She's like, all the
other kids are hiding. 20 I'm like Not this kid. So I had to
you know, I had to toss her bag before I packed her bag.
Half the kids would like well, they got a credit card anyway.
Oh man, but that sounds like an interesting program.
It's a really I remember when my son did it and he got so much
out of it and one of the greatest things happened to him
you know he's a very low key kid you know, you know Michael, he's
a lot like your Michael as a matter of and, and they were on
this trip and they were in a diner and they had offered to do
their dishes and exchange for a meal and which they accepted a
lot of these people know that these kids are coming in and,
and, and the show the show was playing in the diner and one of
the kids because Michael would never say anything but one of
the kids in his group said that it's his mom. And so they gave
them their meal for free without having to wash the dishes, which
really irritated me but that's not part of the program
they should just you know, these kids I don't know what to say
about that is that is extremely elitist.
It's unbelievable. It's it's elitist and an insulting and and
then she says he had the greatest experience and then the
greatest experience was getting free recognizing his mom on TV.
How's that? Anyway, that's the New Yorkers and what they think
is like life experience. Real camping, like
do I go camping? Like actually go camping?
What did I run into?
What a crazy idea go camping. Alright,
anyway, yeah, bring the show down.
It's okay, I'll bring it back up with a nice end montage. And
it's about to all hell's about to break loose. I can see the
