Well I don't know if I if I should dropped his bomb on you
now. Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak.
Sunday January 17 2016. Time once again via gizmo nation
media assassination, episode seven nine or one.
This is no agenda
analysing the ants in the studio and broadcasting live from the
capital the drone star sting Austin J husky, my region six in
the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I have no nothing to say.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
Raglan Buzzkill.
You do sure you do what you could have said ants
ants by ants and
says take ants be taken over the my pants be taken over the West
Coast studio. This is this is very alarming, John.
Well, luckily they're falling. They're suckers for this bait
trap apparently.
Now you have a you have a house and it's on the hill, correct
your house? It's on
the side of a hill. You think that hill is just one big ant
hill? No, it's mostly bedrock. So it's was one of these old
fashioned hills as a big giant rock. Okay, but there's enough
soil. These ants they don't need a lot. But there's enough soil.
It's kind of here and there. And the answer in it.
I remember when when we lived in LA and and the ants had sir had
made a circle around the entire perimeter of the house. That's
the real problem. The real problem.
Yeah, this is that's called siege mode.
What other modes do your ants have?
Well, they have sneak attack is one of the things I have sneak
attacks the worst, I'd wake up one morning, the whole house is
covered with
ads and they come out of the wall sockets that come out of
the
astonishing lievable. Now I do have a trick for people who are
especially on the West Coast who have to deal with these
Argentinian ants and district does indeed work. Okay. So one
of the things that the ants will do in the kitchen is that
they'll send a scout 123 or four scouts out every so often Yeah.
And you see this when you get to get rid of them. But the scouts
as they say find something they go back and report back. Next
thing you know is a line of ants coming into the house. So what
you do and this is gonna be a little gruesome there, you might
want to put your put your
All right, put your hands over your kids ears people. Exactly.
You take one of those little zip, zip bow or one of those
fire lighters that things that used to live barbecues got this
a long extension
with it has you can bend it a bendy, some of them bend some of
them do I recommend the metal bend these because then you can
just buy the cheapest
I can find Anyways, these curves burn the an on the spot on the
counter and leave them there. Ah, that sends a message. And
then you just see if you find all the ones that are roaming
around your torch. And you leave them there
wouldn't tell when when one of those crack crack pipe lighters
be better like the Bunsen burner.
You don't need to completely carbonised the thing you want
them to actually
suffering you want a little bit of suffering and a bit of juice
and a little bit of stench. So the so when the other ants come
in, you'll see him come in to grab these guys to take him back
to the nest and then they'll do an annual kind of an analysis.
Oh, my gosh, can you see that? Jews? That's what they're
saying. So be looking at they have a whiteboard and said, Look
what happened to this and oh, there was another part to a
crisp and there must be a fire. There must be a fire out there.
We shouldn't go out there. Now sometimes you'll see another
group coming in because we're not sure so you torch them to
the only IU There are occasional moments where there's an ant
that you do not torch and that's an ant that's carrying one of
the dead ants back.
Oh no, you have to be That's the guy you want to let go. Of
course, that's the
guy who said hey, I'm leaving you alive. So you can send a
meta message. Yes. And that works.
Outstanding. Well, another tip from your no agenda show. And it
works excellent. Yeah.
And now as you always use sometimes you'll have the
occasional you know neat freak wife who probably would relent
that leaving the dead bird at bodies.
Yeah, no, I divorced those down or I only I don't want those.
But usually those women keep the place so damn clean that you're
never gonna get much of an ant problem anyway. So to trade off
the trade off. What exactly is the trade off? Crazy as whites
cleaning everything are a couple of answers you get to play with
and for extra credit, you can use your magnifying glass to
torture couple and that's kind of where I
don't have enough sun power in the house.
Ah, well Well. Well. I'm very happy to see that Hollywood has
taken the the strategy of divide and conquer and is using it to
their benefit. Now this is a very important thing that's
going on here. We have the this Uh, I would say the Obama
administration and the President in particular has been very
divisive. That's my opinion, between black and white in
America. He's I don't think he's helped anything at all. Oh, but
I think he's made it worse, quite honestly. And it's
up a few commentators such as Tavis Smiley, I have that. Yeah.
And others have I have that amount on I have those
clips, actually. But I want to start with Hollywood. Because
Hollywood just they don't they're shameless. But you know
what? I got an idea. We are going to use this racial divide
in America to promote our show.
Now the Oscars and for the second year in a row backlash
over who was not nominated the front page of this morning's LA
Times saying it all asking the question, where's the diversity
and ABC Chris Conley is here with that story. Good morning,
Chris. Good morning, Robin. And from what we saw, not people
attacking this nomination or that nomination, but asking
questions, again, about the process, and about the industry
back just saying the seven person lineup for less, don't
you love that? Just saying, just saying, really? What is that ABC
News, just saying?
Last night's a list, Republican presidential candidates debate
was more diverse than the Academy Awards, 20 acting
nominations, none of which went to a person of colour for the
second year in a row. Oh, no.
Now this is very tricky what they're doing here. So we know
that Hollywood is run by Democrats. This everyone knows
this. Everyone agrees is all the friends of the Democrats. But in
this report, they compared it to the Republicans putting that
into people's minds about how racist the Republican Party is
and how racist Republicans are. Although, you know, we brought
in our token black guy, Ben Carson. So I want to analyse
this a little bit, because this is 100% promo, and they know it.
First of all, who gives a crap? Let's be honest, this is
literally actors giving each other awards, I looked into it,
I looked into the voting, this is starting to piss me off. This
is being used.
And it's not one of many versions of actors giving each
other Yes, yeah.
But the Academy, I looked up how the voting works. And this is
not every category there Black movies and other other black
nominees, but just not in the actor or actresses crowd and I
believe it's only in the lead not in supporting, I haven't
looked at all of it, because I just want to get down to how
does this work. And this is 60 about 1600 actors. So the way
this is 6000 members of the academy, you can only become a
member of the Academy if you are invited by the board. And in
order to be approved to vote in your category. So an actor can't
vote for Director it can only he or she can only vote in the
actors category. Do you have to be approved by the chair, or the
chair of that particular category? think there are 17
categories? Now, the full list is secret. We're not allowed to
know who actually is on the list. It's a secret society of
Democrats who clearly are racist.
Oh, we don't know. But I can tell you we don't know the
member. In other words, you don't have a clue who's knows
voting. And
the only thing you know is that from time to time, there's a
press release. So we know clonise And we know but you
know, there's also there's also what, it can be easily rigged.
Oh, it's completely easily to be rich. Of course. I'm stunned.
Now. Check this out. But just you know, you don't have to be a
nominee or a winner to get in. It's kind of like this a secret
society. It's a secret club. So for instance, Woody Allen.
George Lucas, are they in the academy? They do they get to
vote for directors?
I guess no, no, of course not. dimensioned it
however, meatloaf, and Erik Estrada, both members of the
academy. What?
Yeah. It's a secret. How did you find this out?
Well, no, you go back and look at press releases when someone
was admitted into the academy. That's the only way you can
build a little bit of a list. So Lorenzo Lamas remember him from
Bose at Falcon Crest. Cheech Marin, Judge Reinhold Pee Wee
Herman. The man who was excoriated for for masturbating
in an adult manner bathing in a mess in a theatre where you're
supposed to masturbate Vin Diesel. So these are the people
that are voting, but the coordination This is even more
interesting.
were you telling me that van diesel and Pee Wee Herman get to
vote for these awards? Yes, George Lucas doesn't
Well, George Lucas, to be honest has always refused membership.
Okay, so I'm giving him props But not so with as far as I know
with Woody Allen now The tubes, were looking just these actors
categories. So the person who was running for the women in the
actors category is Annette Bening. And you know it, it's
surprising to me that we pretty much need to call out Annette
Bening as a racist. And I don't understand why people aren't
doing it and of course she's she is a she's not too little bit of
a an activist. Yeah, yeah, she seems she is now guess who is in
charge of the male actors? This crack? Yup. Ed Begley Jr.
Ed Begley Jr. Yeah, the guy who outrageous activist
Yes, who actually if I look at his wiki page. He was on the
advisory committee for the racism watch group founded by
fellow actor Ed Asner, racism, watch everybody racism watch.
And that group was formed to respond to the ad campaign that
W. Bush today. There's no clip that I have. Well, I had the
clip. Oh, actually, here comes the clip. So. So this is now
playing,
loving it. So let me get this straight. I know, I'm glad you
took this, this this topic up because I've observed this as it
was going on. I never picked it up. Right. But it was so obvious
this was going on from the beginning. It's a promotional
thing and underestimate what it turns out with just a little
research that you did, yeah, well, probably more than I did.
I took about 45 minutes last night.
But that's that's not much. You discovered that Ed Begley Jr.
would be one of the guys if not the preeminent guy who would be
picking these things. And then he would also be the guy moaning
about it being racist.
Yeah. So he is partially that he's the guy who ultimately
helps decide or bring people in to vote. Then he's in charge
he's on he's he's the the big kahuna in charge.
But as he got anything to the nominations?
Yes, of course, of course. Yeah, of course he does. He's kind of
just put
some black guy on there. They wouldn't have to bitch and moan
so much.
The funny thing is that the reason why there's no black
nominees for the Leading Actor category, or Leading Actress
category is because the performance is probably just
weren't good enough. It's we've had years where we had black
women winning we had black men even it goes goes back and
forth. And again, who gives a crap? Is this is not going to
solve world hunger.
No, it's not going to do anything but but they do make a
fuss about it. And we are celebrity obsessed in the United
States is actually the worldwide I think anyone who listens to
this show is in a culture that's celebrity obsessed.
Now, the reason why I'm convinced this was a PR scam is
because of the host. It makes so much sense. There's nothing
better than having a controversy over brace, black versus white.
And then you bring this guy to host it for
his rock counts down the top three reasons to watch the
Oscars. Presenter cleavage.
Check out his died this year. I might curse
the Oscars live Oscars Sunday, February 28. on ABC
over six weeks away, they've got Chris Rock who is one of the few
guys who can go on a live telecast. Or as he did to this
morning tweet, hey, I'll be hosting the Oscars the white
Beatty awards. Chris Rock can do this shit.
Yeah, he can get away with that. And they know it totally raised
his comment and they know
it. Yeah, yeah, the Academy does not publicly publicly disclose
its full membership. Although press releases have announced
the names of those who have recently been invited to join
membership and the Academy does not expire. Even if a member
struggles later in his or her career. I got that from the from
the Academy website.
But what happens if the guy dies? They get to still vote.
Yeah, of course.
Listen. So this is great promo but it's it's so evil. To do
this to the American people. I got this hashtag hashtag Oscars
so white. This is this is now the hashtag and I use someone
even threw it at me for some, like after Thursday show I don't
remember what it was. But then someone said, Ah, Oscar so
white. So it's being abused. The American public is being abused
for promotion for the show. And Chris Rock is is complicit in
this. He's complicit. It's disgusting.
It is. I agree with you. 100 This is absolutely low. It's
disgusting, but
it shows you how well it works as a strategy.
Well, yeah, yeah. People who watch and then we will send you
gave you a hashtag with the
emotions all promotion.
Yeah. Here's my tip. very saddening very sad. Here's
my tip. If you want to if you want to be nominated for an
Oscar, there's a surefire way to do it. If you want to be
nominated as a black person, black American Be Black first of
all, be transsexual and in a wheelchair in your movie. Now
that is going to get you a nomination. But no one did that
this year.
Well, good one. Yeah, that's the way to start the show. Well, I
just needed to get it out, because it's the racial stuff
that we're going through is bad.
It's exploitative, if very exploit and the poor public is
like lap day, unfortunately, because of their nature lap it
up.
And unfortunately, I need to go straight into something that
regarding the most recent debate I was and this never occurred to
me. Then I started looking forward after I saw of all
people, Dave Weiner, blog about this. And I couldn't figure it
out. He actually he actually said, if you can't figure it,
figure it out. You're a racist. I'm paraphrasing. And this is
and then I found the perfect clip from of course, MSNBC, the
Melissa Harris Perry show. Regarding something that is
deemed to be super racist that happened during the debate, did
you catch it?
No. I mean, maybe but I don't know. I
I did not catch it, then I would say and Dave Weiner is a white
Jew, New York, white Jew, but I never expected. I mean, I never
thought this was
that Thursday night's debate, when attacks on the President's
record, occasionally devolved into comments that diminish the
authority of his office,
Donald is right that China is running over President Obama,
like he is a child.
The President wants to do things without working with his
Congress. This guy is a petulant child. That's what he is
called the president of Boy, those of us who understand
African American history because that's exactly what they called
him was a boy. You don't do that to anybody but especially an
African American man who's gonna walk out of the White House in
the same way that he walked into the White House,
man, how do they how do you get from petulant child which just
means be a grumpy angry, you know, petulant, to that being a
racial slur, because when you call the President a child, that
means you're calling him a boy and boy is racist.
Yes, very interesting connection. Yeah, it's very hard
to do that. But you can get away with it if you're, if everyone's
amenable to it and people who listen to MSNBC are amenable to
this sort of logic, but
it did not come up in my mind. I thought, wow, you know, calling
the president child has now
come up in the mind of Melissa Perry Harris or whatever you
listen to this clip. So listen, when she's when she when the
other guest is speaking, listen to her, huffing and puffing.
Listen to it that Thursday
night's debate, when attacks on the President's record
occasionally devolved into comments that diminish the
authority of his office.
Donald is right that China is running over President on this
listen to when the guest comes back and then listen to the
huffing and puffing to do things with his Congress. This guy's a
petulant child. That's what he is
called the president of Boy, those of us who understand
African American history because that's exactly what they call
town was a boy.
She was steaming job. She was steaming. I'm sorry. I'm pretty
sensitive to because my job, but I'm sensitive to listening to
these things and trying to catch not for a second and then I
should read your Weiner's post and then you tell me I didn't
get it read Yeah, I I hadn't prepped it. I'm just bringing it
up now. Yeah, read it for you. Here we go.
This is a you you run into a lot of. So in other words, for
examples, if they stomped his foot and somebody Jesus is
acting like a 12 year old here, that would be the same thing as
calling him boy boy is actually an epithet in a funny kind of
way. It's it's used for a purpose and the word itself is
the problem. It's not the meaning of the word or anything
that surrounds the word its use of the word. But if you don't
you
write the word like gay I mean,
yeah, like gay
title Republican nudist dog whistles I don't know what that
means. Oh, yeah. With the Republicans running around like
nudist Strykers with apparently all the dog whistles gone, the
truth laid bare their racism and fear out in the open last night.
Candidate Christie used a shocking racist dog whistle when
he called the President of the United States a petulant child.
Of course that's a stand in for the N word which even a
Republican presidential candidate of 2016 wouldn't say
yet at least but he came pretty close. I don't need to explain
it or how incredibly disrespectful it is of a race. A
large number of Americans and for crying out loud the
president of the fucking United States you asshole. I'm sorry. I
had to think how, because how do you get from petulant child to
nigger? There's just not the same thing. Yeah, wow.
troubling. troubling.
But this is because the whole I think your first segment there
about the bank Oscars. Is this being drummed into us. Of
course. This is why I plan the second hand and I have to say
that Obama has done nothing. And that's why I like to hear. You
know, observers like Tavis Smiley who I never read the
like,
do you want to hear it? I have his I have the clip. Here it is
Tavis Smiley. But now this was Tavis on C span. That he's at a
Republican? No, I don't think so. It's interesting, because I
was I was clipping last night, and I'm playing this clip. And
Christina says, Hey, is he a Republican? I said, I don't
know. I don't think so that when
you play that clip, I'm gonna listen to it with it with
Christina's mindset and try to figure out if I can see what it
was that triggered that. Okay,
here we go.
But at least in my writings, I want to stay focused on the
facts on what the data tells us. That the black folk,
this is about a book that Tavis Smiley wrote about 10 years. But
I think it's called is it called 10 years after Obamacare? Just
check. Yeah,
I think so. Here we go. falling behind in every major economic
category, I went to Indiana University, to the School of
Public and Environmental Affairs, to ask them to give me
the data that I needed on these 10 issue areas. So it's not this
book is not my opinion, this these are the facts. This is the
data. This is the truth. If you want the truth about the state
of black America today, and perhaps some statement about
where the future is headed. This text lays that out. But when you
you can imagine Peter how when the data started to come into me
and I started to compile and edit what was in front of me
from the speaker school in Indiana. It hit me really hard
to realise that in every major economic category, black folk
have lost ground over the last 10 years.
Every category black people have lost ground over the past 10
years. According to what he says is data. Ah,
I know where to where she where she came up with it, by the way
why? This is voice. That's what she said. She said he sounds
like a Republican. That's what she said, No, it's his accent.
He's
got definitely southern accent ah, it's a funny accent, though.
It's not it's like a little bit New Orleans a little bit. God
knows what. And it's always put me off. Because it seems almost
like it was designed for you know, by him for him. And it
always I always thought it was pretentious. But the having
listened to him more and more. He is an outstanding
interviewer.
And this next clip, he claims something which I of course,
also dove in and tried to do the research on to understand.
Here we go that wasn't happy with what the President got
through what this is
about Obamacare. The whole thing is about kind of about
Obamacare. And then what I what I cut off, to be fair, is he
said, hey, at least the President did some we got this
going, we got something happening. Yes, more black
people are insured
that wasn't happy with what the President got through. It wasn't
universal health care wasn't what he promised. But something
is better than nothing. And in the coming months and years, I
hope that we can improve on that. And so the insurance rates
for black people have improved. The problem is that most of
these provisions have not kicked in as yet the most important one
to my mind, the pre existing conditions provision. But when
these provisions kick in, things will get better. But at the
moment, 10 years later, black health is not measurably better
number one, and number two, even Obamacare didn't do anything
about health disparities. What you read in this chapter about
health care 10 years later, is that black women, for example,
still continue to die disproportionately Peter, from
preventable diseases. And so we celebrate the passage of
Obamacare, I await the day of those provisions kick in, and
hope to see the impact positively will have on African
Americans beyond just being covered. But those health
disparities and the racial element involved they're in has
yet to be addressed.
So he's saying that the pre existing conditions clause has
not really kicked in, then this was very confusing to me. This
is supposed to have changed in 2014, which, as far as I know,
it did but then it's a little complicated. I think what he's
referring to is that the insurance companies have a
number of tricks and it started of course, with losing your your
your coverage entirely. Because the what I guess what the
president should have said is you can keep your doctor and
your health plan as long as it doesn't violate the the new laws
of the Affordable Health Care Act, known as Obamacare. But it
comes down I believe, to medication and they have three
classes of medication you have the the preferred tier, which is
generics. That's what the insurance companies really want
to watch as a You're lower copay, which they really want to
push on people, then you have the branded, approved preferred
medication, which has a higher copay. And then you have a third
tier, which is the really good stuff, which you which, you
know, you really could get if you want to have a higher copay,
they've changed it now the first tier now combines those, the two
lower ones, except the Soviets have the generics, and then
instead of going to branded preferred, it's branded, non
preferred. And when you have a medication that doesn't have a
generic version, then you're not going to be uninsured for that
more expensive branded medication, which they now say,
is just no longer preferred. That's kind of I think, what it
is, and that's how he says that, you know, they're refusing pre
pre existing conditions, by kind of a trick.
Well, I don't know. That doesn't sound right. But
that's the best. That's the best I could do. I mean, the
provision is there, but it apparently is just not working
for everybody. But there's, there's tablets,
or whatever excuse they can do jakka, continue to jack up the
prices, which is we're going to continue forever, until somebody
gets a clue. And then we just pull the plug on the whole thing
and go to single payer, which brings in a whole new pile of
you know, garbage, but as somebody keeps pointing out, we
have the most expensive health care system in the world period.
And we're like number 10. And so far as his results, the results
are concerned, yeah, we do not have a healthy population, we
have a two infant mortality rate is not even I think it's not
even the top five. There's all kinds of issues, I called it. So
the system does not work at all.
And I pulled the clip from the President's promise, which I
thought would be good to reiterate, since people do tend
to forget how exactly we were going to be paying much less for
our premiums. What are you paying more?
Everybody's paying more? Me so maybe complaints about most of
most of our complaints are but and the kids, they're all pay
every year, that route this time, everyone's bitching,
because Oh, everything's up 10% To 20% to 100 bucks a month or
whatever. It's always a lot more.
And Christina, who in the Netherlands switched from their
single payer system to pretty much Obamacare system? And yeah,
she's, she's, she's poor, poor, and she's, she has a I think, 50
euros a month. Health insurance. That's what she can afford to
pay the lowest one. She has very high co pays, and dental. Yeah,
she used up her 500 Euro credit. She says, Hey, Dad, can I go
dentist and my gums are bleeding. Why don't you go to
the dentist? No, I can't afford it is not covered by insurance
after the first visit. So it's great. Here's the present when
when you hear about the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare.
And I, and I don't mind the name because I really do care. I can
pass it. You should know that you once we have fully
implemented, you're going to be able to buy insurance through a
pool so that you can get the same good rates as a group that
if you're an employee at a big company you can get right now,
which means your premiums will go down.
Bullshit say go that was a good sales job.
Yeah, suckered everybody. Hey, dummies? Yeah. Yeah. And all
those co ops are going under the co ops are going under zoning
gonna give the only guys make it out on this if you want to
really, you know, cut down on your healthcare costs and pay
less premiums invest heavily in pharmaceutical companies. Yeah.
And then make some money then and apply that against your your
premium. Exactly. Be a capitalist, you can't do it any
other way. Do you have any until they close this down? I mean, I
mean, I understand the Republicans and their ideas. Oh,
you know, we should go back to the old days. You can't do that.
No, it's not what that doesn't. Well, you can't do that you made
this step in this direction. You have to go container. And then
you had to go back from a single pair like they did in Holland to
this crappy system, which is which is just based on scams is
nuts who do push that
through? Oh, but this the insurance companies that you
know, they're not just American Share Insurance Companies. These
are worldwide conglomerates. Insurance companies are and it's
just a financial sector insurance companies that didn't
know doctors walking around with lab coats. I'm concerned about
your health. No, no, it's a money business. The insurance
business is great. Why else is Warren Buffett in the insurance
business? Because it's a great business to great business. And
Buffett is involved in this with reinsurance for these insurance
companies. So fuck, I'm sorry, I'm just gonna be mad. Do you
have any clips from the debate? I have a couple of
things. I have one and i decided i i watched the first debate
with the car lady saying the same stuff. Hey, I watched Jerry
boring because it was because there was no Lindsey Graham.
Did you see her hair? Her lips? Everything was messed up
her upper lip is solid rock solid doesn't Well, that's the
Yeah, that's that's not. No, that's not Botox. That's a
filler. She has a filler. I have whatever she's standing and
she's very,
She's feisty. I have to admire that. i The only thing that
really came out of the debasis were terrible. I don't even know
why they put any more of these on. But the New York thing was
kind of like interesting. His crews kind of stepped in it. But
then he got out of it. I thought crews handled it. Do you mean do
you have a Do you have a clip from well, actually, I decided
not to use my clips for this because it was such a nice
package put together by ABC about this exact topic. And the
reason I rather do that is because I see ABC ABC is the
most political of the network's so far as pushing one candidate
over another because they're owned by Disney and Disney needs
politicians. Because of the business. It's Yes, yes. And so
I see very slowly a very slow shifter. Okay, maybe we can
maybe we can work with Trump. No mention a bush
ha. Okay,
after staying the course last night on that debate stage
saying Donald Trump embodies New York values. Can you explain
what you mean by that?
I think most people know exactly what New York values are.
I think he meant old white gay men. Was that is that New York
values? old Jewish gay men. There you go from New
York. You're from New York. You might not. But I promised South
Carolina. They do. And listen, there are many many wonderful,
wonderful working men and women in the state of New York. But
everyone understands that the values in New York City are
socially liberal or pro abortion or pro gay marriage. focus
around money and the media. And I guess I can can frame it
another way. Not a lot of conservatives come out of
Manhattan. I'm just saying. Trump's response
when the World Trade Centre came down, I saw something that no
place on earth could have handled more beautifully, more
humanely than New York. Everybody in the world, love New
York and love New Yorkers. And I have to tell you, that was a
very insulting statement.
I take that who's learning the risks of taking on New York
Canadian lover of the Daily News Lady Liberty giving him the one
finger salute. New York's mayor and governor both democrats
outraged demanding an apology. Cruz tonight defiant.
I apologise for the millions of New Yorkers who have been let
down by liberal politicians in that state. I apologise to all
the pro life and pro American pro Second Amendment New Yorkers
who were told by government Governor Cuomo that they have no
place in New York.
And David, just to show you how Cruz's New York values attack
has really struck a chord. Even Hillary Clinton is siding with
Trump on this issue, tweeting just this once. Trump's right,
David, this I think, what Cruz did I think Cruz is evil, then I
think he did it on purpose. He's trying to put state against
state now that's what this is.
I like your theory. But for one thing, I thought if I if I step
back and look at the whole thing, I thought it was light
hearted and humorous. And he did have some good timing bits. And
he got great timing. He's got great timing, and he's a good
debater, and he's good at doing all the whipsaw, the kind of
like get your you get your counter puncher. Yeah, good
counter puncher. But Trump would have none of a driver to let the
things slide is just kind of
like he did the right thing. He protected his domain.
Well, I don't think it was so much that personally as it was
he saw an opportunity to really flip the tables on on Cruz who
thought he was coasting. And yeah, and he just nailed him.
And I think Cruz was taken aback. He did not expect it. And
the way if he listened to the thing again, work, Trump says
yakking away and then he says, I think what you said was
insulting. He throws that in at a moment where you're not really
expecting it. It sounds like he's going on an exposition that
about about about it, but this is something
Trump did consistently last night. And I thought it was
really good, particularly when he I don't have the clip. But
when he responded to the Republican State of the Union,
the response he said, Oh, I was real happy with her. Yeah, I am
angry. Everyone expected him to go off If he turns it around and
goes, yeah, she's right. Absolutely. I'm an angry man.
Yeah, I'm angry because of XYZ. He was very, very good last
night. I have another example of that. but first here's the New
York Post, I think are the Daily News responded to Ted Cruz. Ted
Cruz
made his strongest attack yet on Donald Trump in the latest
Republican presidential debate. He accused the front runner of
acting like a socially liberal New Yorker focused on money and
the media. Well, that led to this attack by the New York
Daily News with the headline drop dead Ted.
Man we imagined I would not sure bring that about to bring
another thing up. All right. There was a because I think what
you I think you've stumbled on something. I was watching
O'Reilly looking for some clips that got caught on because he
was gonna bring Glenn back on, which is unusual because Beck
was kicked off Fox. He's kind of competitive. So so he bought he,
he brought back on and Beck is a Trump hater. Yeah. And he
brought him on for the sole purpose of I think, because Fox
has gotten to the point, the way I see it, doing my three by
three analysis of these networks, Fox can't be
aggressive against Trump, they don't like him. And I I'm sure
everybody the whole operation doesn't like Trump at all. And
but they now they know that they're, they look, it's gonna
hurt their brand if they go after him. So they have to do it
in offhanded ways. So the offhanded way they decided is to
bring back on because Beck really dislikes Trump. And I got
to hear back go on about it. And he's just like him kind of like
a lunatic. But I have to say he's got this very interesting
argument that may have to do with what you just stated, which
is to push Trump over into the New York he's a really a New
York liberal let's face yeah. And what and which I think is
maybe going to be the strategy. In fact, this whole thing is to
make is to make him look too liberal to be a conservative.
Make him look like a New York liberal interview remember
interested in Oh, if you watch it, listen to the last maybe 10
elections. There was excoriation Oh, oh, the New England we can
have people from that part of the world we get new york
liberals do. You was like you can't have those people, those
people running the country because they don't know anything
about what's going on in California. They don't care
what's going on in Kansas. Right. And so you want to put
Trump into that category. And what Beck says. And I have to
say I was really taken by this because it's a great argument.
He says that, to prove that Trump is no conservative
whatsoever, is his basic thesis as to what's wrong with the
government. His basic thesis is it's run by a bunch of
incompetent moron right? Instead of it's too big or right instead
of it's too big. He never says that. It's too big. He never
says it should be shrunk in size. All he says according to
bavette. Back all Trump ever says is that the government just
needs to be run by smart guys like me, right? At the size it's
at and things will be fine. What do
we have? What I like about that argument is it doesn't bring in
another divide, you know, black, white, red, blue left, right.
We're all I mean, Trump is a pretty good example of, I
believe, I believe truly I believe I do believe he's an
example of someone who's grey, you know, it's great. It's a
great that not everyone is it's not so cut and dry. But that's
what we've been taught to believe and Christina, so great
to have her here man to him. Via first of all, Facebook screws.
Daddy, why do you waste your time? I said, Well, I want to
make sure I keep up with you. He says, Instagram pops, Instagram.
Nobody's interested in your status updates. No one's
interested in comments. We just want to know what's people what
are their lives like okay, click and also liking I think that's
part of it. If you double tap on the picture, and it's immediate,
like or Facebook, you have to click on the little like, link
or button and so you get more likes, you get more it's easier
for people to scope like, like likes, and comments aren't all
aren't that interesting. She says, this is on face bag. All I
hear is people saying they're eight holes, this eight holes.
Why? Because that's the that is how people have been trained.
They've been trained to do then Facebook is you know, is the
place for the, for the Democrats to congregate. Now, there was
one exchange, which and it's a little long, it's about two
minutes and we can probably stop it a couple times. And this was
about the Ted Cruz birther issue which I want to remind everybody
has been played very, this is the thing I think Trump has
miscalculated that even if you and I this happened to me many
times in the press the end if you didn't do something didn't
say something the So it gets attributed to you and it sticks.
You cannot undo it. You can do interviews, you can say what it
doesn't matter, the population believe in the mouse. Sorry, me
and the mouse and the mouse. Exactly. The population believes
that Donald Trump, who of course, the association with his
Barack Obama birther comments. Now they believe he has done the
same thing to Ted Cruz. It's not true. A journalist asked Trump
if he thought there would be an issue with Ted Cruz's
eligibility. And that's where the, the information came out
that apparently, democratic operatives are considering
filing suit should trues a cruise win the nomination, that
Trump did this so masterfully. So masterfully that it warrants
deconstruction,
Wall Street Journal just came out with a poll headline, Trump
way up crews going down. I mean, so don't say you can't. You
can't. They don't like the Wall Street Journal. They don't like
NBC. But I liked the poll. And frankly,
it just That's genius right there. Who cares? I liked the
poll exactly came out.
In Iowa. Now, as you know, Ted, in the last three polls, I'm
beating you. So you shouldn't misrepresent how well you're
doing with the polls. You don't have to say that. In fact, I was
all for you until you started doing that, because that's a
misrepresentation. Number one, number two, this isn't me saying
I don't care.
And I believe he's truthful. He doesn't care. Because for one
reason, and one reason, though, I think
I'm going to win fair and square and I have to win this way.
Thank you. Lawrence, tried and numerous from Harvard of
Harvard, said that there is a serious question as to whether
or not Ted can do this. Okay. There are other attorneys that
feel and very, very fine constitutional attorneys that
feel that because he was not born on the land, he can not run
for us. Here's the problem. We're running. We're running. He
does great. I win. I choose him as my vice presidential
candidate. And the Democrats too. Because we can't take him
along for the ride.
That's one of the best lines I've ever heard. And I think he
means it,
I think, well, you know, he's really, I think people that have
kind of written off Trump from the beginning. In fact, when we
started discussing Trump at the very early moments of his
running for candidacy, and you got blasted for, you know, even
I mean, people really are bigoted out there about Trump
before before they started to watch him in action. And a lot
of people have come around. And as you get here, very strange
things from millennials who say, Well, I don't see how I could
ever vote for the government. He's interesting. He's very,
that he
got to that point, this contagious, this continuous
movement in the right direction for him. Yes, but he is so I
mean, the stuff that he does like that little bit with
Huawei, he immediately demeaned him by making him vice
president, she has this fantastic lie, but I thought it
was, personally I thought that was over. I thought he was over
reaching with that. It was I didn't like it. I thought it
was, Oh, come on, come on back off.
Well, but he comes around on this in a very interesting way
that, okay.
The fact is, and if for some reason, he beats the rest of the
field, he beats the rest of the field. And for some, see, they
don't like that. They don't like that. No, they don't like that.
He beats the rest of the field, because they want me
that is a genius crowd master right there, taking the booze
turning it into laughter. I'm sorry, that's great.
For some reason, he beats the rest of the field. I already
know the Democrats are going to be bringing a suit, you have a
big lawsuit over your head while you're running. And if you
become the nominee, who the hell knows if you can even serve in
office. So you should go out get a declaratory judgement, let the
courts decide. And because I would have been much right now,
why
are you raising this issue?
Because now he's doing a little bit better. I didn't care
before.
First he says, hey, the reason I'm doing this because he's
doing a little bit better. You know, I gotta attack the guy a
little bit.
No, it's true. He never had a chance. Now he's doing better.
He's got probably a four or 5% chance
because I was fucking jicama. That was funny. But I thought it
was funny. I still
see it as as this as a scam. Between the two of them. Well,
of
course it's a scam. But show it's a big show. Just get he
gives.
He gives Cruz the attention he needs. I mean, if it wasn't for
Trump, I don't think Cruz Cruz is right did do when Trump does
certain things. It brings his numbers up, because it brings
his attention. Let me brings public attention to a higher
level. And he's I don't know that he's really I don't even
know if give cruises in on it, but
maybe not
controlling the whole he's like the puppet master
Yes. And here's how the this is not a three by three because I
only got today's show and Good Morning America how they
responded to this against Wall Street and
the big banks.
I'm sorry, this was a that was different. This was about sorry
about Cruz and his loan, which I think he played poorly. The
background simplistically stated, is that he obtained a
loan against his assets from Goldman Sachs, been ordered to
start the campaign, which is commendable in a way. But I
think he forgot to declare on an important piece of paper, he
filed it elsewhere, because the obvious connection between his
wife who works at Goldman Sachs, although she suspended her
vocation there, until after whatever he didn't, was bad
optics. And so he tried to obfuscate that he gets called
out on it. And then, of course, exactly what it didn't want to
happen has now happened to people saying, Oh, he's an
insider. He's a shill. He's Goldman Sachs. He's the big evil
squid, and we don't want him
against Wall Street and the big banks, and yet what people
didn't know was that he had gone to one of those big banks,
Goldman Sachs, where his wife worked to get a personal loan
for a lot of voters making up their mind just tuning into this
race, if the one of the first things they learn about Ted Cruz
is that he has a financial relationship with Goldman Sachs.
There's no worse brand name for the populist wing of the
Republican Party than that.
Okay, by the way, I think that's bullcrap.
What is bull crap,
that if you're associated with Goldman Sachs, that means you're
evil and people. Well, but I would I don't think it's a
negative thing at all. I don't think anyone cares. I don't
think anyone gives a crap that his wife works there or that he
got it alone.
The only people who give a crap are the news media
this morning, Senator Ted Cruz's campaign in damage control after
a new report shows he took up to a million dollars in loans from
big Wall Street banks to finance his run for senate and the issue
may hurt Cruz's credibility since he's railed against big
banks and Wall Street bailouts.
That anxious style of announced and getting by the way, he's
been doing this through watching these networks kind of it's
really bugging me. Is that style? Yeah, there's one guy al
Gary or Gallagher or something on NBC. That is absolutely the
worst he just screaming sad sound. And then borderline sound
like a surfer.
Which is my my wheelhouse?
Yeah, yeah. You'd be writing you'd write be in business. But
I do have one more clip about this topic of you getting
wrapped up? Well,
I have I have one. Quick Ben Carson clip.
Once you do lunch, you that first night we look at this
clip, the clip I'm going to tell you is is David Brooks on PBS.
Once again, this is the second time I've caught him doing this
telling the public first of all, he's bitching about Trump
because he hates Trump. He's like a type of Denver, a
Republican. He really hates Trump.
And David Brooks is a climatologist. Right? No, no,
David
Brooks is just a general. It's called I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. He hosted an entire programme where he said that
climate change was responsible for the problems in Syria. He
did. That's David Brooks. Yes. You sure? Yeah. Okay, talked
about it on this show.
Well, he's makes a comment, which he's done many a time. And
then I've got another example of it, where he says, you know,
maybe I don't know what I'm talking about
with state legislators who are Republicans, Congressmen,
Senators, local committee men, a lot of whom are in panic. And so
maybe they should do something about it. Maybe they should have
a move on that org type organisation and get some
rallying, which the other side has already done, and have a
counterweight, so they don't send the party to suicide. And
that might involve not now but after New Hampshire, winnowing
the field, and donors and other people going and saying, we're
just gonna pick this guy, we're gonna pick Rubio, I'm sorry,
Jeb, you're not gonna be president. Christie. You can be
Secretary of Treasury. But we're gonna, we're gonna get organised
here, and we're not gonna go quietly into the night to go
back to some kind of smoke filled room. I mean, I'm pro
conspiracy, right? Because you think it's critical? Well, you
know, you know, I'm sort of, I have no confidence in my
judgement. I shouldn't say that on TV.
Because Mark and I have confidence.
But he's so old school, he's still saying things like, why
shouldn't Sue do it on TV? You know, it's like, like,
it's extremely old school. Like you're in the churches often
it's our credibility has been predicted the demise of Trump
since day one. Yeah. We're like, you know, six months he's been
saying this So now he's like lost all confidence in this. But
he does
say something very interesting there where he says, Chris
Christie could be Secretary of the Treasury, which is a big
joke. First of all. You're not going to get in, that's not
going to happen. But does that speak to his positive work in
New Jersey? Is New Jersey so great financially? I don't think
so.
Anybody knows there's little more
on your clip was finishing up that TV.
Mark, and I have confidence.
Because I thought Trump was fading, I still sort of think
he'll fade. Sort of, I think, I mean, it's right now saying
crews are both, you know, looking pretty good. And I don't
think either is electable, and neither do a lot of Republicans.
And so the question is, why do they just sit there and do
nothing?
Fine. Yeah. So tired of this.
O'Reilly he Yeah, he's so he this old school? I don't know
even what we thinks is electable. He would think that
Rubio, who is an obvious stooge, I mean, they're I personally,
from my perspective, because I'm going to vote libertarian no
matter what, probably. But from my perspective, looking at it, I
don't think any of those guys are any good. None of them. And
I say the same. On the other side, I think the most
entertaining president would be Bernie Sanders. And to be honest
about it. And this is where you know, people are gonna have to
deal with my opinions about these sorts of things. If Bernie
Sanders was president, we'd finally normally throughout
American history, we had a swing back and forth between kind of
Republican business oriented, lawmaking, and then public
interest lawmaking. And it would be the Democrats that represent
public interest lawmaking, and the Republicans represent
business lawmaking. And it was never really a problem, because
this pendulum would swing back and forth, and back and forth.
And that and thus, it would create a some sort of a long
term balance. But of late when the Neo liberals have taken over
the place where you have Bill Clinton being more of a
Republican than the Republicans and the guys like George Bush,
being big spending Republicans when they're in office, there's
never there's been no swing back toward public public interest.
That's where the Elizabeth Warren thing would catch on.
Right.
But she better hurry up, Hillary.
The convention is when they make the decision now, and the
convention is always away. Anyway, so back and forth. So
Bernie Sanders, although I believe he would ruin the
economy and send us into a depression, yeah, that would
happen anyway, because of the cycles. At least he would do
something about, you know, this scams that are going on with a
bank thieves and the ridiculous and the payday loans, and all
these things that are just ripping off the public at large.
And it's going on unabated with nobody doing anything, except
once in a while Elizabeth Warren comes out and says something
like, oh, well, maybe we should do something about these robo
calls and doesn't nothing. We need some swing back because
we're not getting it. But we haven't had it since Reagan to
give
you a glimpse in the future of Bernie Sanders as president.
Cristina was bitching and moaning the Netherlands very
socialist country. And she was bitching and moaning because,
you know, she was diagnosed with autism, okay, she's on the
spectrum. But you know, the, she won't take any medication or
anything, which is nice for her to know, okay, I'm now this is
how I feel. Sometimes I'm on the spectrum. Least I have a
diagnosis. So she feels fine with that. But she's pissed off
is Daddy, you and Mom, you should have you should have
organised all this in this test before I was 18. Because if you
get diagnosed with autism before, you're 18, you get 800
euros a month, and you can work in addition on the side without
having to diminish that that fee because you are you know, you're
you're sad, you're you. You don't have a fair shake in life
800 euros a month. That's almost as much as you know, the
immigrants get in free money when they come in homelessness,
but almost as much. So that's our future. And you know, and I
can sit there and say what do you not, you know, where does it
come from? You know, she understands that intellectually,
but that's how they're thinking, hey, screw that I want free
school, but I want free health care and I want to if I'm if I'm
nutty, or if I'm different than I need to have money, and that's
what's happening. And that's what we'll
that's the mentality and that's what will happen. Now. Here's a
whole the entire world economy has to collapse before that goes
away, does she?
What she hasn't seen is that I have a chain here so she can't
leave channelling her she can't go back to Europe bad. Alright,
here's Ben Carson. I thought this was just sweet, sweet
little Ben Carson. But
you know, here's the real issue. Is this America anymore? Do we
still have standards? Do we still have values and
principles? You know, you look at what's going on, you see all
the divisive pneus and the hatred that goes on in our
society. You know, we have a war on virtually everything race
wars, Gender Wars, income wars, religious wars, age horse, every
war, you can imagine, we have people at each other's throats.
And our strength is actually in our unity. You know, you go to
the internet, you start reading an article and you go to the
comment section, you cannot go five comments down before people
are calling each other all manner of names. Where did that
spirit come from in America, it did not come from our Judeo
Christian roots, I can tell you that.
It came from the devil, the devil on the interwebs. That's
what it is, and wherever it came from.
Devil Thank you, Satan.
We need to start once again recognising that there is such a
thing as right and wrong. And let's not let the secular
progressives drive that out of us. The majority of people in
America actually have values and principles, and they believe in
the very things that made America great. They've been
beaten into submission, it's time for us to stand up for what
we believe.
It's not discussed. I don't think we discuss it very much.
But with all the talk about not pissing off Muslims, and not,
you know, not being racist against them, just, you know,
just yeah. There's no talk of what is going on with
Christians. Because the Christians are being belittled
and shamed in this country in our country. Constantly. I think
that's part of the point he's making.
Yeah, that's pretty. And then again, of course, was these
arguments about the Christians in the Middle East, they're all
being just killed if no one cares. And nobody cares about
that and are seemingly so because they can't get them to
get involved with the they can't love them. And as refugees, in
many instances, at least according to the reports that
you hear whether it's true or not. Yeah, well, there's a lot
of it's nice. It's it seems to be like fair game to be to mock
Jesus freaks. Bible thumpers. It's been Yeah, okay. It's
okay. That's okay. That's okay.
That's pretty much been the case since I was a kid. Right. But
and it's worth pointing out that not really that new, but it is
continuing. Yes. Yeah.
Well, the bottom line is,
but I thought of it has to do with Obama. The boss, we can
that yes, we can think I mean to you pointed it out. I'd was
unaware of this is what you mean.
Thank you, Satan.
Yeah, thank you saying all right. Hopefully they of course.
We play the short one. That's that's the long one. I think
this is I don't know where is it? He's played it now. But it's
Sen level three now.
What do you say? The more you hear it, the more you hear it.
Yeah. Which is part of the whole gag, I think. And with that, I'd
like to thank you for your courage and passion and keep
pushing John C with a C stands for Caucasian Devorah Ack.
Well, I would like to thank you, Mr. Adam curry for your courage
also. Thank you for your courage in the morning to this one I'm
supposed to be singing in the morning. Thank you for your
courage. In the morning all ships to see boots to the ground
feet in the air subs in the world. And the world's water and
the world may never mind. The days and nights out and in
the morning, everybody in the chat room. Thank you, Satan. No
agenda stream.com Thank you to our artists run 10 plan run 10
plan who did the artwork for us for Episode Seven, nine or zero
of the best podcast in the universe title of that climate
disobedience. And we we got this as an evergreen it was hard to
choose. Maybe have some comments on that. But we'd like this.
This little
May Day Hill. That was an evergreen evergreen. Yeah.
What was wrong? I can't really remember. Well,
there was nobody that was hitting any for one thing that
art wasn't funny. Yeah, it's nice to for it to be funny. And
there was a lot of just kind of like, stuff that was I wouldn't
say it was just tossed. It was like it was carelessly thrown
into the pot. Yeah, the only way I could put it is like, you
know, I'm, I'm starting I'm in the process of, in my own mind
blaming PewDiePie
Yeah, screwed it
up. Well, he started if for one thing he was, he was nasty. And
then he got nicked a rat preoccupied because Nick's was
sensitive artist. Yes. And he has produced Anything good
Martin. JJ Chris has been kind of semi retired and so we don't
have any buddy picking up the picking up the slack and
something like that. I don't know. Well, the thing I
don't like about PewDiePie is the name PewDiePie. That's not
your name. You're not the famous PewDiePie. And I don't like
that. Yes, derivative. Yeah. Anyway, we hope for better art.
Yes. And it doesn't take a lot. In fact, I think PewDiePie did
point out with the ease in which a great art piece can be done in
a lot of people have actually sent his notes about that one
piece about George Bush with those nerd glasses on. Yeah.
Last home.
Yeah. Beautiful. Yeah. But I want to reiterate, we love
everybody who gives any try for this at all. Thank you. No
agenda are generated.com It's highly appreciate it makes a
difference. It's a big deal. We are one of the few podcast who
change art with every album art with every single episode. And,
you know, some of the podcast clients actually display that,
thank God. And we're very appreciative, very appreciate,
but you do have to say, hey, you know, whatever's going on the
cycle. It's Yes, it's a cycle. What do we think?
We do have a few people who came in for show seven, nine or 179
or one, and one of them actually pointed out something kind of
interesting. And that's Timothy Crowe, from Bothell, Bethel,
Washington $800. He came in with $100 and he's mentioned he says,
I was triggered by the new length of the NFL point after
touchdown, which is 3333 yards. This is a double credit for Will
this be wants to know is this double credit for the show? 800
Because we do have eight show 800 Coming up more shows. And
we've always offered I sent him a note Vegas of course, we've
always offered double executive producer credits when you like
anyone who contributes $800 Before show 800
If you do contribute $800 I'll come over and blow you really I
mean, you will
by do it for four
you are such a pimp Daddy
you get a promotion he says he says he got a promotion at work

unite the slaves of Central Europe for a meet up in Vienna.
Let's make it happen. schnitzels with schnitzels and beer, and
that would be a meetup.com/no agenda. As for the value for
value karma model, it works. I'm a journalist who has followed
the show for years for BI student days in Montreal to the
front lines of today's GIBBO nation refugee group. Nothing
gives better satisfaction than donating to the best podcast in
the universe. Thank you for a great product. And I think that
are you back? Yeah. For today, but he didn't ask for anything
specific but I have a new little ditty that I'd like to share.
Yeah, this is not This is done by William A EB and he's not a

please kick some house buying karma my way and thank you for
another year of solid infotainment.
Yes. Eric didn't put all of the notes in here. Hold on a second.
It's the non hipster man beard. Okay, I'm just writing some
stuff down.
Okay, you need to karma
Oh, sorry. I was doing administrative work doing well
karma when I read it. So here's what I do. Because the one thing
I tried to do is have less bullshit for us, John. So when I
when we miss on the Eric sends me here's the nights here's the
birthdays. And then I'm looking at the spreadsheet it's very
clearly says I want to be the night of the non hipster man
beard. I go down onto my notes that he sent me and that's not
included.
But we are still working. I
have to second guess everything we need to have his chat with
him while I talk to him, you talk to him if he doesn't
respond, he hates me.
He doesn't hate you hates me hates him. Maybe he does. Yeah.
Okay. All right. Onward.
You should say welcome to the club is where you're supposed to
say. Eric Shearer did you do him? No,
no, I'm doing him now. All right. But now you got me to
you. Since I missed a one liner. I'm extremely upset. You
couldn't do better. Luckily, I have a upsetting clip for you.
But we have one I don't know when to play this clip because
it's gotten me I'm on pins and needles. But I got one for you.
Eric shear in Anchorage, Anchorage, Alaska. $200. And he
sent a note handwritten note nice and on Halliburton
stationery. So the Save Dear John and Adam has been a
pleasure listening to the best podcast in universe for years. I
have no clue when I started listening, but it was definitely
some episode 120 10 You convinced me to become a minute,
man. Remember that? We stopped doing I want to mention this.
That's double nickels on the dime, right? No minimum. But no,
it was part of it. But we had this thing the Minuteman club.
Yeah. And then we'd said wait a minute. This is the kind of
thing we don't want the government's. Oh, that's right.
That's right. It was an associative thing. And so we had
to drop it. So we dropped a Minuteman thing like a like a
hot potato, because it was going to be bad. We're
ball though. I wouldn't mind being on the Southern Poverty
Law Center's list. I mean, at least we get some promotion.
Anyway says it started monthly donations in 2011. I have
enjoyed no agenda in excess of what I've given to you.
Something a quarry, or according to my calculations, my next is a
handwritten my next round of Pay Pal payments will vote me in
tonight dumb, but I thought I would send a check. And thank
you. I don't really care about anonymity. But the title sir II
nonnamous. Would be great. If it isn't already taken. Can I get a
science?
Hold on a second? Is he now in a night? No, no, he's
good. He's working on Oh, okay. I gotcha. He hasn't declared
night then. Okay. All right. Good. Would be great. He just
wants to he wants to
reserve okay in advance. All right, I guess well, I think she
put it mildly. This is a downpayment. That's kind of how
it works with a Tesla as well. You know what a Tesla, you got
to give us some money.
Can I get a science, karma and the Gitmo national anthem, we
can play the game on national anthem at the end. It's just a
little too long to play in the middle of the show.
Okay, well, why don't I give him a full on denier science then
that'll that'll make up for that?
Sciences. You've got karma.
And that concludes our little group of well wishers and
executive producers and Associate Executive producers
for show 791 We do have 792 coming up, but we have been
getting crappy Thursdays for some reason. We do have a
holiday tomorrow, which is going to embark only
in America though Mark Yeah, it's true. So we're counting on
you foreigners.
Fellas. Good luck with that.
Blue PR mentioned the no agenda jingles app has been updated.
That's the iOS only. But just wanna let you know this. Go
ahead and update. And I believe our producer has also, maybe
later on in the $50 donations, he sent us some share of the
value for value. And people seem to like that AppleID it's a
pretty it's, unfortunately only iOS. But what's nice about it,
you can make your own jingle combos. And it'll play in
sequence in order. So you kind of hear what's going to sound
and sometimes just cool to listen to. So
request them on this show. Yes, exactly. And
the the link to that is of course in the show notes at
Seven Niner one.no agenda notes.com. And we appreciate our
executive producers and Associate Executive Producers
real credits. John, you too can be racially divided by the
Academy because they're no different from the Academy
except we're upfront and honest about it. And please consider us
for the Thursday show evora.org/n A man obviously when
you're out having a good time propagate the formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out we get people in the mouth
all right. Before you hit me with the disturbing clip me I
have been May I do an ask John, I don't really have asked John
very often at all at all at all at
all. Okay, I can try now,
because I'm not sure this happened during your time as an
environmental and spared to what exactly were you environment and
air pollution? That's air pollution inspector, what
are the government for the government of
California?
Well, it's actually regional government in this case. All
right.
When were you that
was a while
ago? Do you mind it? Was it 70s?
Yeah, it was the late 70s. Okay,
then, you, even if you weren't working at that exact time, you
will be able to help now, this is President Obama, and he was
at a school. And I can't think off the top of my head. I think
it was a Missouri, Missouri. And he did a little stand up. And he
brought out this thing about climate change and how horrible
the air is. And he made a number of claims about California, yay,
in the 70s. And I thought to myself, how self just so
happens, you have a guy who knows everything about this
topic about the quality of air of California, yay, in the 70s?
Yes.
First of all, it's important for us to understand how much
environmental progress we've made in my lifetime. And then
the reason is sometimes when we talk about the environment, it
sounds like something far away. But we don't realise we don't
remember what we've accomplished already. In the 1970s. In
California, there would be regular days where people did
not go outside. Is this true? No.
It's not true. It's a lie. Okay, let's keep going.
When when when Ronald Reagan was governor and law in California,
and I think, as an aside, when the President really starts
stammering that's when he's lying. This This clip is the
first time I noticed it, and I left most of it in, because a
lot of it be like pauses. I haven't had to take that out. I
know that the show will be in nine hours if we didn't do that.
I believe he's lying. Whenever he starts, stammering it's his
tail. So let's continue.
There would be regular days where people did not go outside.
When when Ronald Reagan was governor and law in California,
there were regularly days where the smog was so bad. There was
like it is in Beijing. Now. Is that true?
In Los Angeles, yeah. It
was like Beijing is now.
Yeah, not not. Well, the fundamental basis for what was
happening in Los Angeles base. And back then, it had it was the
different components of the pollution were different than
what's in Beijing. Beijing is more like London fog from the
50s, where they had their kill where a bunch of people died
from from the river. Now, it was from this fog, the smog, we had
a smog problem in London. That was outrageous, and it was
killing people. And that was more along the lines of what's
going on in Beijing, as opposed to photo synthesis that's going
that went on in LA to an extreme during the 60s, mostly.
People just wouldn't go outside. And if you had asthma or some
respiratory disease, you might die. No.
Drop it does something about I saw this, I saw this, you might
die. And then someone needs to talk to the President. Because
when he stammers it removes all of the seriousness that he's
trying to portray here. He is saying you might die without the
stammer, you might die. Now that sounds much more forceful and
powerful, then
you might die.
He needs to work on that. I might just suggest
late. I remember taking your advice.
Well, now he's going to go back and he remembers because he was
in California in the 70s Apparently sure he was I don't
think when did he go to college?
Never went.
Now you confuse with me? When did the President go to attend?
UC? What was it? What school was he at Harvard.
He was at Harvard for a while he was also at some other Columbia
or some other place and it's pretty vague. I think he went to
Occidental for a while he won't they never released his records.
We don't even know that he ever went to college the
guys let's just stay with it. This is why I'm asking you to
focus on the problem. He's saying that this that he was in
college during the Reagan Governor days done today. He's
my age this guy by wasn't in college in the 70s
Yeah, Ray what? Okay, well now hold
Cable I knew I knew I said Monday 979 I
gotta deconstruct this. I think let's start Jeff just start with
Reagan. Okay, when
was Reagan governor? Aye. Aye. Aye. Well, here you do that. You
do the Reagan thing. I'll do the I'll do his school thing. Okay,
right. I can do this. Your education summary. Here we go.
This is handy. Kindergarten. Okay. Columbia University. Okay.
freshmen. Okay. Occidental College, Los Angeles. 1979. To
1981. When was Reagan governor?
I think he was before that, but I think he was. My keyboard
stopped working. Oh, no. No, this is not good. Ah, I think it
battery went dead.
Oh.
Do you need to go get a battery? You can do it. It's worth it.
Get a battery. You know what? I'm gonna look at my thing here.
Okay, you want to just stop tape there. We'll stop tape. Okay,
I'm doing it a battery.
We shall stop tape.
Stop tape. There's no tape. I'm sorry.
Stop tape. All right, we're stopped. All right. We're on a
five minute hold everybody. We have a technical technical
issue.
Don't worry. Overtime if
we go over Stop. Stop. Okay. It's good.
Ah, this is Unbeliev. Okay, let's start it up.
All right, everybody places please Places please. Talent
walking and I'll be ready. All right, everybody faces. Tape
rolling. All right. rotate, rotate, rotate, rotate, rotate.
So tell me John, when was Reagan governor?
Well, no, you, you you first get you gave us already gave us the
dates of Obama?
Yes. He was at Occidental College, apparently between 1979
and 1981.
Okay, that's when he would be in California then. One year of the
70s? Well, yeah. Two years. I guess. Ronald Reagan was
governor from 1967 to 1975.
Okay, so the president,
the President's line was shit.
When did we clean up the California Air?
Well, they began cleaning it up in the 50s.
But But when would the President was in 70? By
75. It was pretty damn clean.
So 79 would not be that bad?
No, not for the way he described it. Now he was down in
Occidental, it's possible that they were having some you know
that because of the bowl effect down there. They could have had
some bad days in LA. I don't know that people wouldn't go
outside. Let's
listen to the President's description of how bad it was.
Wait, stop, play the whole thing again, because I don't want to
get these days and times down. Okay. Hold on a second. That
clip please reread the clip.
All these terms are coming back. reracked the clip? All right.
First of all, it's important for us to understand how much
environmental progress we've made in my lifetime. And then
the reason is sometimes when we talk about the environment, it
sounds like something far away. But we don't realise we don't
remember what we've accomplished already. In the 1970s. In
California, there would be regular days where people did
not go outside.
Okay, so we've already established that is just not
true. So I'm sure someone didn't go outside, but wasn't like
Beijing. There
was there were moments in Los Angeles again, just Los Angeles,
California, but Los Angeles the basin. Yeah. Or Pasadena where
where it would be really a bad foggy smoggy day. So
he's talking about all of California, but then he he
narrows it down to him in LA. Yeah. Which I'll get to
about his him
as well. Of course, what there's no reason to talk about anything
else. Reagan was governor and
also there's a little condescending tone that we're
gonna go
back, back back back a little bit. Of course, I'm
backing it up.
In California, there would be regular days where people did
not go outside. When when when Ronald Reagan was governor when
he was governor, the act and law in California there were
regularly days where the smog was so bad. There was like it is
in Beijing now. People just wouldn't go outside and if you
had asthma or some respiratory disease, you might die. You
might die by die. I remember as recently as 1979 When I first
started college, I started college in Los Angeles when I
went running I first week I was there. After about five minutes
I start feeling a burning in my chest and it was just me sucking
in sit and smog. And so there's no such suit and
Fornia air pollution. It was so
bad. that his chest started burning his chest in
there was such there was such New York there was such
but certainly not in 1979 there was no such
no such thing
as me sucking in soot and smog and then
you gotta make an ISO of that.
So yeah, hold on let's play the whole thing and then I can do
all the work we want I want you to respond. It's only 16 seconds
we can't seem to get to the end of
sucking in sick and small and now you go there and that smog
isn't there. And the reason is because we instituted things
like catalytic converters and and unleaded gasoline and we
changed the technology Oh, to reduce small we change the
technologies
let me let me run the ISO first let's help me with this because
we're doing a professional job here.
I remember as recently as 19 I started college and a lot of
times when I went running first week I was there after about
five minutes I'd start feeling a burning in my chest and it was
just me sucking in so
to do that and mocking in such second and soot and smog or just
sucking insert no
no just such
suck it in suck
Hold on, let me just ISO
sucking in sit.
All right, go I'm saving a couple
things you should mention this straightened out for people
care. I think at this point, we're probably gone beyond it.
But the catalytic converters were used to reduce the amount
of nitric acids, nitrate and any sort of nitrogen it was enough
in the form of an acid that would go into the atmosphere and
it was it's the night do wishes was caused a problem with the
Volkswagens by the way, they let this stuff goes out of the you
know, they lie in their testing. That's what causes photochemical
smog turns out. And so once you put the catalytic converters on
everything, that stuff starts to stop coming out of the cars. And
so now you couldn't have the photochemical reaction that took
place that caused that kind of orangey small ride it was always
talked about in Los Angeles that was unleaded gas had nothing to
do with any of this. unleaded gas was a completely different
animal was done, it was removed from gasoline for a different
reason. And mostly because mostly because gasoline it turns
out, you used to put Tetra ethyl lead and I was at Union oil when
they were making this transition. They were using
Tetra ethyl lead in gasoline to the point of almost four grammes
of lead per gallon of gas. So the gasoline would have a higher
octane and burn more smoothly in an automobile. And that's what
so you wouldn't have pinging and you'd have more horsepower is
great. The problem was, is that the TETRA ethyl lead when it
combusted in the in the chamber with the gasoline throughout
elemental led and some LED salts which are toxic out of the gas
pipe. So you'd have for every gallon of gas you burned, you
threw out four grammes of lead into the atmosphere and into the
music got into the soils nearby roads and most of the roads
here's a real obscure data point most of the highways roads and
cities were contaminated with so much lead it was completely out
of control. And then that's what no one wanted to talk about
because it was like holy crap if you went along the highways any
freeway in California or anyplace else and you started
doing soil samples it was all LED and so they had to do
something about it so the that's how they one of the one of the
main reasons they got rid of lead there's some other reasons
but that's the real killer and literally killer turns out
that I did not that's new that I did not know that. Oh, that's
great horrible it was it was I know there's no agenda
historical fact people and here's another little tidbit
from another no agenda
once you remove the lead from the gasoline because of the
nature of the cheap crappy inches that we made in Detroit,
the gas the engines wouldn't work right because they required
the valve seats when the valve hits the engine block it without
if doesn't have lead lead is like a lubricant it was actually
right that's all we had to get all that that's why the
synthetic oil industry the started with viscosity breakdown
was that it was that we're now
present nothing to do with it.
I should shut up. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, you probably this is just specific to the valves. And
so the valves would hit the engine block and says there was
no lead literally lead metal there nice, which was like a
lubricant. And it was like Do you hitting this it was like
lead I love when I'm hitting it that it's a loop once the lead
was
gone, it would just be metal to metal and it would just start
digging into the engine that was ruining all these engines. This
way old engines need these special additives otherwise they
get ruined by gas today's gasoline, so they had to leave
at least a half a gramme of lead in there, which they did for
just a little while then it turned out to change some of the
longer story that changed some specs. So they had to just
remove lead altogether. And then they had to deal with
redesigning engines and not telling the public that their
car was ruining itself. for about 10 years this was going on
me Well, here's the here's the data point, I wanted to bring up
the lead that was in the gasoline, which was in to the
point of four grammes a gallon of lead, and it was getting into
the atmosphere of the soil and everywhere and contaminating
cities and most of the country. It turns out that the rate of
violence and gun violence included and everything, since
the removal of lead when gasoline went down, went down.
And progressively as the amount of gas of elemental lead and
lead salts in the environment lessened. And then distributed
itself went down to what it is today. And a lot of people
believe that the violence, the gangs, some of the crap that was
going on in the 50s, in particular, was all because
everyone was poisoned. And a major violent.
That's why they decided to use chemtrails instead makes so much
sense. Yeah, I'm telling you.
It's nice that you did that. Yeah. But this is one of the
little tidbits you'll get from the no agenda show from our
base.
Oh, where else do you think would you get with democracy now
have an expert like John C. Dvorak? Do this deconstruction?
No, not possible. But it's safe to say the President is full of
shit because he was there 79. And he couldn't walk out because
it was sucking in soot. According he was doing gills but
he was sucking in such sucking
in sub second in
a second in, in Hollis queens. I'm the President doing one more
thing that I don't like. And then I'll get off the president,
so to speak. He's running around. And this is again from
his college speech. There was no, they're both from the
College Speech. The first the somewhat longer one and then a
shorter one that I've come to a question
for you. Since you can't run again, for another term. Is
there any way that we as a group can tuck the First Lady into
running? No.
Do you hear this? And I whitelist this whole sequence of
no no no's, the phrase I know which I where I have a problem
with his just
talk the First Lady into winning. No, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no.
These clear No.
There are three things that are certain in life. Death,
taxes, and Michelle don't come in your mouth.
And Michelle is not running for president. I can tell you.
So that's kind
of shell think of this commentary. Well, it gets that's
my point.
But listen to this next one where someone is saying oh, you
know, please, please, please, you know, you really have to if
you could run for a third term would you run Oh, well,
I can't do that I can't do that because the Constitution
I like that because the Constitution what does he gets
his answers from face back now? Because the Constitution that's
not English, because the Constitution and
and I can't do that because Michelle would kill me.
Now, I find I find this offensive.
I find this very massage honour.
Well, it's very misogynistic, but the honour of being
president than just Oh Michelle would kill me because it's been
so hard. She hates me being president. What is what is his
point? What is he saying? I came across very unlovable to me.
Yeah, I would say so.
That's rude. It's just rude.
That's a good catch. Not
not quite clear, but not even borderline. I like
to sit there little the ISO the ISO is the clip of the day, but
it will.
But the clip of the day, the Clip of the Day is shorter than
the jingle than the jingles.
Right. That's a rule.
Clip of the Day has to be shorter than the jingle clip
longer than the jingle. Oh, it has to be longer. Yeah, suck and
suck an insert. Nice second insert. Oh, I wanted to bring
something up. Where is it? Attention attention. Our song
makers. Attention attention song makers. We I have a couple of
elements for y'all. That would be worthy of a remix. I'm
looking at you GX two Did you see these? The Freedom girls
with the official Donald Trump jam.
You know, I've seen that people keep sending me that clip of
Where's Donald Trump? That whole thing looks phoney to me.
Well, they're lip syncing and obviously that's for sure.
Though this was before the rallies before the rally and
then they got up in the disease girls had this little little
ditty here which is just begging for a remix. Just play a little
bit
serious apologies for freedom. I
can handle this
unlistenable but
it's unlistenable. I don't get the lyrics.
Well, they're saying that everyone's weak and you know,
Donald Trump is standing up for freedom. He's taking the call,
he's coming in. This thing wants a remix. And I have some notes.
Some more. Well, I have a full on and then some ISOs. Now what
happens when we have faulty equipment here on the show what
happens? We stop tape. We stop tape. And what makes me mad is
you know, people will be saying jiggle the handle. Exactly. So
Trump had a microphone issue. And I think he channelled me by
the way. I
don't like this mic. whoever the hell brought this mic system but
the son of a bitch to put it in? I'll tell you. Now this mic is
stuck. Stupid mic keeps popping. Do you hear that? George? Don't
pay him. Don't pay him. You know, I believe in paying. But
when somebody does a bad job like this stupid Mike, you
shouldn't pay the best. Terrible, terrible. It's true.
It's true. And you gotta be tough. We get people because
they'll pay they don't care. They'll pay so we're not going
to pay. I guarantee I'm not paying for this month. Every
every two every two minutes I hear like boom, boom. Anyway, I
hope it's okay for you. But it really is.
The mic doesn't sound good.
No, it doesn't say he's absolutely right. Boom, boom. I
just thought was funny.
But the guy should blame is his setup guy that goes in there and
checks the mic. Yeah, seems to be
well, that's probably that's probably the same guy. Maybe
typical. Anyway, so people to get on that a get on that. Oh,
there is just to finish wrap this all up. I did get the
official documentation, the rules about eligibility of a
president just to call back to Cruz. Do you know that in the
end, there's a very long while it's not very long. It's
actually 12 pages, but it's a lot of legalese. And a lot of
jurisprudence, the if there is if there is indeed a question
about Ted Cruz's eligibility, ultimately, I didn't know this.
Congress can decide. I didn't know this.
Oh, I didn't know this either. Yeah.
And this this document, somebody
would have brought that up if they're talking about adult a
news media, folks.
Yeah, let me see, I can find the the exact line where it mentions
this. Here we go, referring to process members.
And just put a put a bill or whatever,
I think we can just take referring to the process by
which members of Congress may raise objections. Now, that's
just the Comey See, whereas it? Thought I'd highlight. Here it
is, I think there's still a potential objection. Yes, it's
not even the Supreme Court, Congress makes the determination
during the process of counting electoral votes. Honestly, I
need to do a little more work on exactly. But the conclusion of
this and this is the Michigan Law Review, their conclusion is
that members of Congress would ultimately be responsible for
deciding so that it's even if Cruz gets a justification letter
from the court, it still doesn't mean anything. Yeah, it still
could go to Congress, apparently. But
we need a definitive answer. No constitution is nobody asked
intuitional but, yeah, interesting. Yeah. Well, I don't
know if I, if I should drop this bomb on you now.
But I'll tell you what, why don't we you want to thank some
people first, or
Oh, that'd be fine. Because that way Won't they won't be a
depressing segment. Okay.
I'm gonna show my school by Joanie to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
Moving right along,

get back on the stick. But it's not going to be daily anymore. I
don't think so. Vaughn glitch guy in Salem, Oregon $116.16 And

we should listen to no agenda because his nurse girlfriend
wouldn't listen to her I say we nurses are in a very good place
to witness much of what is discussed on the show in
particular, we see the dirty and stingy government hands involved
in what should be a very personal thing our health care
but and she says Prager boarding. paying more attention
to these happenings will increase any frustrations you
experience at work. I can personally vouch for that, but
it's all worth it to be in touch with the truth. Happy listening.
Also, I'd like to request some travel job karma as I'll be
hitting the road road soon as a travel nurse, hoping to hit
others in the mouth along the way. Thank you for your courage.

I'm ready. Now this story is like it really like knocked me
on my ass when I heard it. And because I said oh Adam is going
to be so irked by this and then when they went on to discuss
this the some of the details. I had to say to myself what is
wrong with this country that this is and apparently this has
been going on for a while. And I just was it was a shock. This
is quite the setup. This is
quite the setup you are in Yes. Should
I be sitting down? You know I stand during the show should I
be sitting down? Well, you'll be sitting down
you're not going to believe this story. This is the Yosemite clip
play it.
A trademark dispute is forcing Yosemite National Park to rename
some of some of its beloved buildings and landmarks. The
famous Ahwahnee hotel and Curry Village in the 1920s will be
renamed the majestic Yosemite hotel and Curry Village will
become half dome village. Park Service has been in a legal
battle with a company which bought the rights to the names.
The changes are sparking outrage with longtime park visitors and
environmental groups who say this is nothing more than
corporate greed
to charge the the national National Park Service $54
million to use the name awanee and Curry Village. It's
incredible. It's just crazy.
The Ahwahnee hotel has been visited by numerous luminaries
over the years including three US presidents movie stars, even
the Queen of England.
Well this is this is very upsetting and
I need to I told you it would be It was upsetting to me.
I need to give you the history Curry Village, which houses camp
curry in Yosemite. It used to belong in my family Margaret
curry. And I forget the old Coots guy these name wherever
husband was they set this up they maintain it that there's
this great event every night which I don't think they can do
that anymore because of environmental whatever they used
to go up to the top of the cliff there then build a big bonfire
and waterfalls let the fire fall and
that would be my great that ended in this age.
They can't do that anymore. I've been to camp curry many times
I've met people who travelled halfway around the world just to
meet them in camp curry. And now they're going to get rid of the
name that's very what were they call it half what Half Dome
village Half Dome
village have dumb villages
what that is, well, what
is the deal that they sold the names this is the problem with
today's copyright laws. You know, you can't take anything
out of copyright anymore and then now you can just sell the
names like it was a football stadium and you sold and they
Somebody sold awanee and camp curry to some douche
why don't they just call it variety can Verizon you know
this much better?
And but then they were charging 50 for me. I gotta look look
into this insanely $4 million to use the name of Wani and curry.
Well, if it were up to me, it would be a lot more but
unfortunately the curry sold camp curry decades ago.
Yeah, along with it then they sold the name separately,
apparently but that will not know they sold the camp. The
name was sold when we sold it. We sold it with a name. I don't
think there was any separate deal. No, the curry is also
owned all of what is now known as Flagstaff Arizona sold that
for dimes, idiots I could have been rich. I could have been a
contender.
You could have been a contestant on the podcast and be doing this
your podcast or podcast. Right? Yeah, that's instructing news.
I believe that we need to have a meet up in camp curry. That's
what we have to do before it changes now I
would like to know what this $54 million deal was about That's
what gets me to campus still there
will still be called Camp curry.
No The camp is now called Half Dome camp.
Half Dome Wow.
But it's still there. So what it is there was this only this name
these people own just the name of a one he had like that Grand
Hotel and they also lamented when they did the story. Oh the
presidents and as though the places burned to the ground is
still there The hotel is exactly the same. Yeah. Except that now
it says you somebody majestic or something stupid. Man. This is
crazy. Yes.
Well, I think we need to do a meet up cam curry meet up. Yeah,
good. A drag the airstream out there be fun.
No, it'd be ball,
a big ball.
I've always wanted to go. Here's the thing I've never done. I've
done been to Yosemite numerous times. But I've never gone in
the back way. So I could go to Sequoia National Park, which is
another park that's kind of on the other side. It's a pain in
the ass to get to. Yeah, but that's the one that's got that
big giant tree that you can drive a car through.
Yes. And it's well worth it. Although they're dying from
climate change in case you didn't know.
Well, there's a that was actually the drought. But I
think that's that's not
how it works. That's not how you promote that stuff. Ultramar
let's go over to the migrant situation in the US. Of course.
It continues to be kind of pushed down the news ladder
because let's face it, it's fan cares. But the we're seeing
barbed wire fences big rolls of barbed wire now borders being
drawn up and and the title of this BBC report was the welcome
is cooling at borders across Europe. Yeah, and
every border across Europe, the welcome is cooler. Here at the
Greek frontier with Macedonia, families can still pass. It's
clear they're fleeing Syria or Iraq or Afghanistan. And men in
particular, you're facing tougher scrutiny. Papers. And
even old ladies are turned back if their documents are
suspended. But they're not giving up. We found dozens in
the woods, Libyans Iranians Moroccans are trying to evade
the border checks. The man singing is afghan that he was
denied entry to Macedonia because he's dark skinned.
That's kind of interesting. Racist Macedonia is one of the
official
border facilities built by aid agencies at a cost of millions
stand empty.
At the border on the Greek side. They have big United Nations
Human Rights Council flags and big Quonset huts with brand new
tents inside completely empty. But there's nobody here. No,
there's nobody here unfortunately. No, there's
nobody here not even the girl to put the DKB police
anxious it seems to stop this becoming a permanent camp. Keep
all the migrants away at the moment they
don't have the possibility of using those facilities. This for
us as humanitarians is unacceptable, clearly
unacceptable.
And I must say, I don't know if you're getting the same type of
email, but a lot of people continue to email saying, Well,
you know, it's a John provocateurs is not true. And
I'm sorry. It is true was going on the internet has been going
on for 15 years this crappy integration? I'm I'm I'm
flabbergasted. I would say that people who, you know, they got
courier buying the party line won't. But it's I think it's
actually worse than the party line.
Well, if you could be I've been watching a lot of the German,
the German televisions. And there's, it's it's pretty
challenging there. But the most interesting clip I pulled down
from Deutsche valla was was something that we never
consider. We don't think about the American media definitely
doesn't think about our show doesn't think about, and it's
the relationship with Merkel and her public. Yes. Which is and
the problem that she's had with this, they say, but it's it's
the kind of odd lament and observation that's in this
particular clip is a lot. It's a long clip discussing some of the
stuff going on. And then the and the pushback that's happening.
But it's this at the very end of the clip that the thoughts about
Merkel, which is the name of the clip, the way it's presented,
comes off as, Wow, it's like I didn't know that this was was it
was this. It was this kind of I did play it.
It's about how to integrate the more than 1 million people who
arrived in Germany last year and 3000. More are coming every day,
Brent.
Yeah. And that's that's an essential part of the story.
Right. Once they're here. What happens then? We know that the
German chancellor, she's under increasing pressure from her own
party on this issue. Is there any chance you see Simon, of her
changing her position?
Well, I think there has to be some correction of the policy
but the overall policy of welcome towards refugees will
remain in place. I think angler Merkel is far too closely
identified with it to to change it and retain her credibility,
but she's under attack from all sides from within her party. But
for also from without, for instance, the former social
democrat Chancellor again, I should have said today, it's an
illusion to think that there's no limit to Germany's ability to
integrate people from abroad. So pressure grows, the European
countries are not helping angler Merkel to get out of this fix.
The problem remains.
We have not seen a story like this with Angular miracle ever
before. So I mean, young Thank you very much.
We have not seen a story like this about Angular Merkel ever
before. This is like a moment. Yes. I was taken aback by that
comment, because I didn't realise that she was like the
flawless genius or whatever.
Yes. Oh, yes. Herman kinda how long has she been Boone's
consular?
What long time long long time and as you can do no wrong but
now everyone's turning on her and and then there's this other
remark that was made in there which was kind of telling wishes
that she can't change her position because she's
associated with this and so she cried. So are you telling me
that she can have said one thing and then said holy crap, this
isn't working out let's stop and do something else. Is that is
the German mentality such that she can't do that that's what it
sounds like, Well, what
happened here and this is just my opinion, but having lived in
in the region and having you know, lived in and amongst
Germans Germans there is you know, they really want to be
great and helpful towards my GRE migrating people because of
their recent history really World War Two is pretty recent
history. And then they understand what it is like to be
to be a migrant and you know, and to either be welcomed or not
welcomed. And as they've been very welcoming and this is the
the Germans have no monopoly on being mind controlled by the
entire EU idea that we can have the multicultural society and
don't worry they'll catch up though because it hasn't
happened. Now the banning migrants from from public
swimming pools after they have they've gone after young women
in the swimming pool. Sure, it's one small incident but this
stuff counts and then people go you know, screw this at a
certain point, they just gotta say Screw this knock I'm not
going to participate anymore. Well, why
media is that is the way to go with this right now because they
are in the thick of it. There's a lot of reports there was a
good I didn't take clips from it but there's a whole half hour on
Deutsche Avella TV there was a half hour report on they took
one of the I think there's that's I don't know if it's out
have cited Frankfurt or wherever there's an old abandoned airport
just recently decommissioned and they turned the whole all the
hangers and everything into a bunch of internment camps and of
course then they surrounded by fences and so they have all
these people coming in mostly women and children and a lot of
men too. And they're talking about the guys explaining the
difficulty they got to get water in there and then every once
awhile A fight breaks out and and you know, they're handling
it as well as I think the Germans can and I don't think
any other culture could probably handle that as well. Because
they are organised but it's
it's the same thing was like
a like a concentration camp.
Yeah, it's the same with the Ag vendor ball we're gonna shut
down all nuclear shut everything down bro going wind and solar
and then people looked at their bill and when I once you
unveiled that energy, wind and globe we need to turn that back.
Yeah, the Germans aren't stupid decision making the
Germans are smart. And they they I think they do have power over
Merkel. She is a I think she'll do whatever the if she's getting
a lot of heat she's going to change the policy there's no
doubt about it. She's probably sick and tired of this crap too.
Now she's stubbornness she won't.
Victoria Kagan Nudelman she's on the move. She's
on the move. She's on the move. Pay attention whenever Victoria
Kagan Nudelman Nuland is on the move. We got to be careful she
will be travelling to truck Hi Bucharest, Sofia, Davao, Ankara,
and she will have closed door talks with some Russian muckety
mucks in near Collin. Grodd Kaliningrad I'm sorry,
Kaliningrad. Is it time for Dubow? Is it that time again?
They might be and must be? It's definitely not she's not trying
to throw overthrow the government of Switzerland? No,
although Switzerland is under attack for the same thing that's
been going on with in Finland and other countries. The
anything over 1000 euros if you show up as a migrant with cash
or assets, over 1000 euros, it will be taken away from you. And
this is very confusing. And of course, it's often reported as
you know, they're stealing from them. But Switzerland is you
know, they're they're following their own rules, which is if you
want to receive payouts for being a migrant, everyone in
Europe, you come to you get in you get into the system, your
asylum seeker, you make money, you will receive money, but
their law is a you can't have assets over 1000 euros. So we
have to take that away. And of course, the migrants are like,
Oh, this is crazy. This can happen. You know, the then the,
you know, the politically politically politically correct
press is all over it. The United Nations Human Council, Human
Rights Council is criticising what Denmark is doing this now
as well. The I think that should be very happy.
Well, this is a strain on these economies? Of course it is. And
then I have a bunch of clips if you want to go through this. I
don't normally talk about this sort of thing on this show.
Which is the the stock market situation,
I've been waiting for you to do this. I saw the clips coming in.
Of course, I have not listened to them. For those who don't
know, John, and I don't speak in between shows. But I have no
idea what clips he has. He has no idea. In fact, last night, I
was thinking maybe ask everybody pulling the debate clips, clips,
John will probably have it and then I thought to myself self,
don't take that risk. And see it worked out perfectly. So I'm
ready for your financial market package.
Okay, the reason I wanted to do this is because there's a lot of
myths I get because I have a bunch of friends who are always
because I've actually studied this stuff. This is what you do.
i Yes. And I have a bunch of friends who will send all these
emails, oh my god, we're doomed. We're dead. This is just based
on what women's sides what are they? What are they responding
to?
They're just looking at watching the news. And they you watch the
news and generally just hearing the market went down 500 points
and Margaret went down through enterprise the market has gone
down since the beginning of the year. Yeah, pretty consistently.
And it's a correction is a little radical for most
corrections, but it's a correction by all all analysis.
Anyone who knows what they're talking about. No one's saying
that this is the beginning of a bear market. And that's the
thing you have to realise is not is not the time to panic,
although it is a good time to short. Some nice shorts out
there. Okay, but that's beyond most people. And short short is
the I'm going to sell a stock without owning it.
Well, that's the the method but the idea is to make money on us
ox incline decline. Yeah,
yeah, you you, you sell it at 10 bucks and you buy it back at two
when it sits bottom. Now, I saw I was looking around because I
figured, well, maybe we should do as well because we don't do
this rarely I don't think we've done it for years, a set low
market segment. And I was so I was looking around for someone
with a good analysis and I found one, the woman that she brought
this woman on she very elegant lady. This is PBS PBS NewsHour.
And she's what she's like, the chief strategist was Charles
Schwab, I believe, and I think that she just did this. I think
she just nails it calms people down. If people would just
listen to this. They wouldn't be so panicky because I think she's
right on the money.
Now the market plan that is sweeping across stock exchanges
from Asia to Europe to New York.
That setup is that's part of the problem, though the market
plunge is sweeping across the nation. It is part of the
problem. Yeah, that's the sentiment is a big part of the
markets,
a market plunge that is sweeping across stock exchanges from Asia
to Europe to New York. It has been relentless since the year
began, and today was no different. closing bell on Wall
Street signalled the end to a turbulent day and a tough week
for markets worldwide, fueling the sell orders another plunge
on China's Shanghai Composite stock index. It's down 18% Since
the year began, its worries about the Chinese economy mount
and plummeting oil prices are dragging down energy company
stocks and the broader market. In Washington, White House
spokesman Josh Earnest said US officials are closely monitoring
the global sell off,
there's no denying that weakness in other markets with whom we do
extensive business is going to be a headwind for the US
economy. But we're mindful of that, particularly as the
international economy becomes more integrated. And we have to
be sensitive to movements that we see in the economies of other
countries. Okay.
All right. He she dens brings his woman I'm sure that was the
setup. To give us a background on what's going on. And I by the
way, Josh Earnest has a lisp in mind, did I just give you ever
noticed this? Just noticing it? No. I think I haven't really
noticed it start listing and you'll hear a list. Okay, let's
go to part two where she talks to the woman Liz
Ann Sonders, what is behind this volatility today in the market?
Many of the same things actually that contributed to the
volatility that we saw last year, you've touched on
certainly oil, but it's more broadly, what's happening in the
commodity complex, and not just the huge plunge in and of
itself. But what that says about global growth, of course,
related to that is China, the weakness there, not only in its
equity market, but its economy, its currency that's tied into
commodity prices. And then maybe even more importantly, would be
uncertainty regarding the Fed, you know, we got past the
uncertainty that define 2015 In terms of will they won't they?
And if they will, when they got the first rate hike. Now it's
what are they going to do from here? Are they going to continue
to raise interest rates, what will be the justification? So a
lot of it really is unfinished business from 2015. It's just
conspired to occur in a condensed period of time,
unfortunately, right at the beginning of the year, which I
think adds to the angst for investors. Okay. All right. So
in other words, there's nothing really radically different going
on. It's
just sentiment isn't it's more than
sentiment, the real issue is, is China is all screwed up. Yeah.
And they've been lying. We know this. They've been lying about
what's been going on over there. They've been over buildings,
they got the ghost cities, they spend money on stuff that they
you know, they're just they're liars. In China as a country,
insofar as their economy is concerned, they think I'm sorry.
They think this is the way you do business, which is the fake
your numbers, so you don't get in trouble with the party. You
everybody's dead. But don't say anything.
Didn't they learn from the best? That's what Wall Street does it
extend not to this extent, because we have checks and
balances, we have all kinds of systems in place. Yeah, in the
20s we have systems in place that have prevented all those
some of those systems have been taken out. But most of the
systems prevent, prevent this sort of scamming because it
because our investment vehicles have to be the ones that are
track everybody from all around the world. And you can be sure
that if you put your money in, in US Steel, let's say which is
a bit out of favour company right now. And you put your
money that you you're actually putting it into a company that's
called US Steel, they have facilities, we've seen them
we've met their CEOs, we know all this when you're putting
your your money in some company in China. Every so often,
there's no company there. It's all bull crap, and nobody does
anything about it. And so They have showed the numbers that
come out of China and all this other stuff gets created this
little mini panic. And now we have to readjust for the second
thing which the guy do talks about oil is the second clip. I
know if I get two or three clips and
you have you got two more here. It should be a third clip. Yeah,
this is the third, you have four clips total, this is the third.
Okay.
Play the third clip, and I'll explain a little more. The
reason I'm doing this, by the way, because I wanted people not
to be freaky about what's going on,
like Chinese, just little extra Mon, like Chinese. They come up
to your knee.
So is this the kind of anxiety that's justified? Or is this
something that's just gotten out of hand in the last few days,
it's really hard to say at this point, I'd love to know where
this correction stops right here. We do not think that this
is the beginning of a big nasty bear market. But it could get
worse here before it gets better. I think investors have
been fairly skittish really, for much of this bull market all
along. And when you get these bouts of volatility,
particularly if it's got some fairly dire news associated with
it, we really hunker down much more quickly than we have in the
past because I think we really changed the psyche of a
generation of investors not only because of the severity of the
financial crisis, but the fact that it came within 10 years
from the bear market that preceded it. So I think that
explains why we sent we see this sense of urgency and sometimes
panic kick in so quickly in this environment.
And what she's referring to as a.we call this the.com collapse,
which was a confluence of a number of things, including y2k,
by the way its fields tend to fall met.
I probably haven't relayed this story in a while, but I was the
Chief Technology Officer of thinking ideas publicly listed
company. Then there was a mandate from the SEC. You had to
be y2k compliant. And we spent hundreds of 1000s of dollars.
Yeah, hundreds of 1000s of dollars. And we were lucky,
nothing.
We were lucky. We were lucky. You were a London low end of the
money that was wasted over this. Yes. And I
will say and I will say proudly, we were the first public
company. That was y2k compliant. The first suckers in the door.
Oh, good. It's kind of good kind of bad. Yeah, it's top of this,
what she's talking about which what she's referring to is that
when the collapse happened in 2000, the 9098 99 2000 it was
boom, there was that it stayed down because of largely because
of the attack on the World Trade Centre. It had screwed up
everything to psychology of the market, everything is screwed
up. And so it lingered for a very long time. I thought the
decade of 2000 was one of the worst I've ever experienced. And
then it was topped off by this collapse in 2007 2008 of the
housing market and the crazy phoney vehicles they put
together these scam bonds or whatever they were based on
crappy housing, low mortgages. And so it just got worse and so
it made everybody nervous because it was it amounted to a
long depression which is still going on
which is I keep reading an official White House documents.
It is capitalised G capitalised. D, the Great Depression. They
have named it the Great Depression and they are using it
as an as a noun in all written statements.
The ones in the 30s
I'm sorry, great recession, not depression, recession. I'm
sorry. Yeah, they call it the great recession, capital G
capital
R.
I don't know why they were I guess it's maybe it's a
trademark now because because the
President brought us back from the brink of disaster you say
you have to give the recession after he
has not brought his back from anything. He's luckily he's kind
of stayed the course by being a neoliberal like of Clinton these
really brought us back from a fun loving we're okay with each
other country to one we hate each other. Now there's that Jeb
Bush, Bush started a Bush started that Bush started, okay.
And on top of this, there's the oil situation which is dropping
like a rock and that seems to be this is causing trouble
today is still under 30 bucks, just a hair, but it's 29 and the
tide rate.
Now the thing about all you have to remember is that it's cheap
energy is good for the public at large, good for business. It's
good for everything because it's cheap. Energy, energy equals
everything. energy equals everything. Yeah. And so you
want it to be cheap, but because we get so tied up with these
high prices and and fracking and these large oil companies making
tonnes of money, and the oil companies are big parts of the
indexes that when the market goes down, it's because the oil
company went down,
falling like a rock. That's the underlying everything goes down
because everything looks like it's going down but it does
eventually bring everything down with it. Now this guy who comes
on and clip four tries to does he's also on the show discusses
the oil thing a little bit we discussed it on this show a
couple of times about what why oil is collapsing. But he brings
a little kind of an interesting couple of angles he doesn't
discuss the the political reasons like you know Saudi
Arabia is hates Iran currently and so they're gonna keep
pumping to screw a Ron who's entering the market and Saudi
Arabia also is not going to start back off. Because they
they did that in the 70s. And they lost market share, and they
hate that we've discussed that on the show.
Well, that warrants one would you mind just re explaining that
but I don't think
1970s when OPEC first got its act together and decided to
screw the world by price fixing oil, which caused all kinds of
recessionary things in the 70s including the price of gasoline
going way up and, and and rationing gasoline because they
cut off the oil supplies rationing gasoline, there were
lines you had to get into. You had to have odd and even
numbers. It was unbelievable. This was in the 70s audit you
can only drive on an otter and even dare you only get gas on an
otter and even day depending on your licence plate. It was a two
you'd go get gas right if it was a three the next ag and there
was lines there were It was unbelievable.
Do we have we have driverless days that we had that in Europe?
I remember in Europe we
driverless Sunday has been I'm losing a little bit of
No, no, I remember. Yes. We had driverless Sundays in the US. I
remember that.
Okay, well around one of the things that took place when they
went Oh pick did its thing to make this all happen is Saudi
Arabia cut back on production, because the idea was everyone
comes back and production prices go up. And we make a tonne of
money. Right, Saudi Arabia in particular cut way back. And
then in the process, lost market share. And when they came back
into the market, full tilt a bunch of their customers were
gone. Right. And so they had decided collectively, never,
we're never going to do that again. Because we don't want to
lose our customers. And so that so now we have this situation,
where they're gonna keep cranking it out, even though we
have a OPEC and we're going to cut production. No, we're not
cutting production. So there's nobody's cutting production. And
there's a compounded thing here, which I didn't realise I listen
to this guy, I kind of knew it, but I didn't think much about
it, during and which also makes the capitalistic system in
America great, because we don't do this, even though it'd be
cool if we did just that, which is that if you as a country, lot
of small countries, the oil in the ground underneath the
country is owned by the country, right. And so the country when a
pump oil, they take the profits, and it goes right into the
general funds. And so they finance their government and
their whole operation with oil money. Yes. And so you have this
situation that if the oil is selling for $100 a barrel, you
get at budget of X amount of money, you get used to spending
that X amount of money, and then it goes down to $50 a barrel,
your budget either gets cut in half, or you have to sell twice
as much oil. So it encourages so as as the oil prices come down
these guys because they're running their government, from
oil revenue, to keep their budget at the level that it has
to be because as you know, we can never lower it. Oh no, you
keep it at the same old price. You got to crank it, you had to
sell twice as much.
And then it goes down. It goes down. It's a vicious cycle.
Yeah, and the further down it goes, the more all you got to
pump. So it's creating this problem and this is part of the
problem along with everything else, all these other elements
that
that before before you lead into the clip which about ready to do
I've never really understood what the the actual number is
for the price of oil because you have WTI crude NYMEX, you have
Brent crude Yeah, and they have different prices is that which
which number is the most important to look at
the one that's used generally that I think and you see the
Western price of oil today is West Texas, which is that's the
basic number that's the WT whatever it is
WTI that's so that's $29.42 per barrel but the Brent is twin Ray
is a higher grade product that is a European the Europeans use
that number because they really base a lot of their their budget
budgeting on that number. Now
that number broke 29 So it's at 28
That's pretty outrageous. In fact, when the two numbers are
the same, that's crazy. So
there's about 70 cents difference between the
two it's usually about five bucks difference or three or two
it's brands more expensive, but West Texas is what we always
refer to when we talked about the price of oil and it has not
you know it said then the bear I mean like this stuff is all
academic has literally no mean what I mean not every gallon of
oil is coming from West Texas. Not that much. Alberta's
provides a lot in Venezuela. It's weird anyways, right now,
the situation is to me hilarious, and it really
shouldn't be booing the market. It seems but it's not.
Bradley Olson, let's talk about the oil side of this, what is
driving this continued drop in oil prices?
Well, there are two main factors at play. I mean, the first one
is a little bit tied to what's driving the fall in stock
markets worldwide. And that's China. China's sort of always
been the golden goose when it comes to oil markets,
particularly with demand, China is about the second largest oil
consumer in the world. And so whenever there are indications
that the Chinese economy perhaps isn't going to be as strong as
people had expected, it causes a great deal of uncertainty when
it comes to oil. The second factor is Iran, there are the
sanctions are about to be lifted, that were imposed by the
United States and the European Union. And once those sanctions
are up, a lot of people anticipate a significant amount
of oil coming into the market from Iran, perhaps as many this
year as 500,000 barrels of oil. So the market is already
oversupplied, and you're gonna dump additional barrels into the
market from Iran, and then you have problems or questions about
demand that would have been able to bring up the price. So
there's just a lot of indicators that are not positive at this
time when it comes to the oil markets.
So is it though expected that these countries are just going
to continue to pump regardless of how low the price is going?
That's right. I mean, one of the things that you see happening
when the price goes down, is that everybody's trying to make
up for the lost revenue. And so this is something that's
actually happened in the history of oil crashes, is that all the
producers and companies actually try to pump more oil. They're
trying to make up for whatever they've been losing by producing
more. In this case, a lot of people expected the US shale
companies and US companies that were behind a major boom in
production in the last few years to slow down. And they just
haven't done that yet. They've been a lot more resilient than
anybody expected.
All right. So it's a spiral that happened before and is going to
happen again. Yeah. What do you think the bottom is on oil?
Well, I my thinking was always run 28 to 3030 was kind of my
target. But the way this is being described, it's and people
fearful, that it could go to 10. Sorry, it's almost laughable to
me, Ken, do you think it could have? I don't think so. Because
this guy went on and on. And he did say something that was
interesting. He says the cure to low prices is low prices is like
an adage that, right? And what it means is that once you get
the price to get so damn low, people stop, stop investing. And
once they stop investing, then they kind of fall behind the
eight ball. And it takes about two years of oh my god, this is
we can we can stop putting money into this business, because
we're just killing ourselves. You still try to pump as much as
you can, but you don't invest in any new properties, or you don't
do anything, you don't spend money. This is you mentioned, I
didn't realise this. He said that this this stoppage of the
investment was started about two years ago. So we're
at a point we're at the point where it should be breaking
apart shouldn't be breaking,
but this big glut that's going to come in from Iran is probably
going to do that exacerbate that situation. So I'm thinking, if I
was thinking it from an investment perspective, I'm
thinking that what it's going to do is going to make this the
exacerbation is going to is going to make it linger or go
longer, and maybe drop some to some ridiculously low prices,
where it will just skyrocket after that.
Oh,
well, would you like to do some red books that have some numbers
and put something in the book? I don't know. 1350 is my number
1350.
You think it's gonna go that low? Yeah,
I think 15 will be seen as a major breaking point. And then
we'll go through that it will never go to 10.
I would have I would find it extremely hard to
believe. And I'm just making this up. I have no idea.
I know. You're just feeling I would say right. And to me, the
word is right now is pretty much the bottom. But I think it
could be wrong, whether they're on it's good. Could get worse.
This
guy No. So that's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking maybe it
can be kind of tricked into going down to 2224 as a bottom.
Alright,
so you think 2022 24? And I'll say 1350? Just put it in the
book. Just why not? Yeah, I'm
putting it in the book. Um, you
gave us a great background, and I'm highly appreciative. You
said 13 to 17? I said 1350 $13.50 or 1350? Yeah. And
what are we doing? Should we do it on Brent, or should we do it
on WTI?
No, no, you do it on WTI WTI. Okay.
Other ways to go.
So we have a moment here, and it's kind of interesting, but
this is not the big one.
No, no, the big ones coming. 2017 be frightening. I
want to tell you right now and it's going to happen next year.
All right, hold on a second, everybody. One moment. Could you
explain this in a very, very slow, methodical voice.
The big one is in 2017 and it's going to be frightening.
Perfect Thank you very much. That'll be a ringtone. You
didn't know you didn't hear the echo I put on it Did you
know I'm sure you put an echo
it's a beautiful thing. Which reminds me a lot of this It
reminds me a lot of this jingle we did.
So have more kale, have more kale. Have more kale. Have more
kale. Have more kale have more kale. You have you have
more kale. Well, it's worked well obey. It's worked. John,
when when we first started seeing kale, because, of course
coming from the Netherlands, we give kale to the cows in
Holland. Okay, we
and I said okay belongs, I'm sorry, to where it belongs. It's
where it
belongs. It's a garnish for you. And in the war. The Danish came
up with Russian food farmer, Farmer coal or farmer kale.
Buddha Cole, which is depression food because the Dutch made soup
out of rocks out of nettles, sugar beets, so yeah, rocks,
rocks, rock soup with nettles. But you were very specific. And
you said this kale bull crap is leading to
what? Bugs superfoods? Oh, yeah, yeah, it was super food thing.
And woe is me. I see an article. Eight super foods to watch out
for in 2016. Oh, let me give you the top three. in reverse order.
Guy just preface something here. Yeah. The fancy food shows in
some of these events that happened here and there around
the country. This is where this data comes from. It comes with
these. There's people that study this. They have big events, you
go to it, you can. This is not somebody just pulling it out of
their butt. So generally speaking these articles when you
run into them, yeah. All right. Okay,
that makes it even better. Yeah. Let us start with number eight.
John number eight. Waste based food.
Ah, as began, can I interject?
Let me read it. Let me let me read the caption and then you
you give us the backdrop. This isn't as weird as it sounds in
order to reduce food waste restaurants are finding creative
ways to use edible parts of plants and animals that are
often thrown out. Last year award winning chef Dan Barber
handle a two week pop up at Blue Hill is restaurant New York City
where it cooked with spent grain cocoa beans, pasta scraps and
vegetable pulp.
Yeah. Yeah, that guy is the guy who popularised this idea. And
there was on all the three by threes, they all had stories on
this guy. And they said, Well, yeah, carrot trimmings garnished
with, you know, paper, just paper. And it's like, you know,
they people were eating all these crazy these people lined
up around the block in New York, of course, where they have New
York, New York morals or whatever the comment was,
they're all lined up and they're in there eating this and they
describe it and the guy would come by the waiter come by, it's
in a tent, because it makes it even better. And I think we had
some clips of this and the guy says, Yes, this is some some
scrapings from such and such and this is some, some pulverised,
you know dirt. I just did the I
have that I have that clip Hold on,
draped with white fabric that farmers use on their crops. As a
covered fend off pests that tables were lit up with tallow
candles, which is rendered beef fat. So we basically made it
bras that was fortified with flat here. Michael Carrillo and
Margie and Verve just finished a dumpster dive salad made with
bruised apples and pears salvaged from a food processor
in the neighbourhood.
I'll put this clip back in the show notes people need to listen
to that. It's a little long needle listen at best clip. It's
titled idiot New York City chef selling garbage.
All right, exactly. So that's the genesis of that. Okay,
onward.
All right, hold on need to listen notes there. Okay. Number
seven, kelp kelp. What is kelp? Does it come from the sea? Yeah,
so seaweed sea ice comes and goes and it's always you know,
it's like killed by like kill it's common gone and it never
becomes that published. It's got a little Kelpie flavour that
gets on your nerves out to eat too
much. The thing with kelp is if you eat it and it gets stuck in
your teeth and it's jams in there, you can't get it out of
being this disgusting do that. Actually it's gluey is very
Yeah. Number six, often called the miracle tree or the tree of
life. Then he want to wager a guess,
pine Moringa Well, that would be a guest I wouldn't have made
that Moringa Okay, Moringa
number five. Tiff, Tiff. What is the TIFF? I don't know what is
sometimes written as TIFF or two f, this pseudo grain technically
it's a seed and has a high nutritional profile and it
tastes similar to that of amaranth or quinoa, quinoa. This
ancient grain has survived for centuries. Blah blah blah. Yeah,
there's like quinoa. Yeah, that's what they say. It's like
quinoa. I don't like inwall which
so many wants to try some keen wah, wah. So they have a lot of
keen Wah it's a little ball I got two stories I gotta tell the
bird story about quinoa
I think so but I don't care
do it a gay kid was the became this extremely popular grain and
it's like starving apparently a lot of you know,
hold on, John. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Stop stop one second.
Chat Room. You do not need to correct us in the pronunciation
of this shit food. Okay. Racks pick a call up people.
So we so they do get that do even get that joke. digitus
people in South America that rely on eating quinoa, but it's
being stolen from us. So the yuppies can eat this crap. So
some guys decided they're going to grow keen Wah without the
hard husk. It's got a little heart as you'll see. It's like a
super the hard thing on the outside. So they grew. They they
did some genetic engineering, they got it to grow without the
husk. And as soon as it hit the plant and started showed up,
millions of birds came in just wiped it out. Because apparently
birds love this stuff, but they can't get through the hard husk.
So if someone says would you like some quinoa, you can just
say now that's it's for the birds.
But you can say that or you can say no, it's it's starving
indigenous people. It's exploitative. It's bad. Now
there's other stuff all benches the same thing. It's gonna Well,
the next one, I'm sure this will be right up your alley. This is
number four. Hold on. Kefir.
Can fear could fear? Yeah, kefir,
which is fermented goop?
No, no, it's it's Kefir or kefir as we tend to pronounce it here
in this country. Kefir, kefir. It's it's available it's been
around for years it's a I drink it it's the caucus that people
in the caucuses drink it to an extreme they drink it in. In
Ukraine and Russia and the people that are
you have me and I drink it, John, you have a kefir? Kefir is
good if you drink it out. Drink it. It says it it does say here
it is the trendiest fermented food right now it says for me to
for
you live to be 100 years old if you drink it all the time. Now,
all right, that's gotta get some good kefir and I'm gonna tell
you right now what it is has been around for a while it's the
one brand they have all these different brands crap and you
don't want to have any with lacto Beck like the best sellers
there's a bunch of these essentially buttermilk cultures
in should not be in Kiefer's a different bunch of cultures. Now
Lifeway that's all you need to know. Life wife way lifewire is
a is a group of guys who came over from Ukraine with real key
for cultures.
Oh, camel urine. Sorry, with camel urine.
No, that's a different brand. You gotta find that these guys
came around, it's just as buttermilk is what it is only
it's a little milder. And it's like it's somewhere between
yoghurt and buttermilk. But the life way is the brand. That's
the brand you want. Everybody else's stuff is pretty mediocre
and it's not. Not even tasty lifeways. Tasty.
Excellent. And just as an aside, you I believe we had a
conversation about kombucha and all that crap and you would like
to recommend people stay away from that.
Yes. Because because there's no consistency in what nobody knows
was growing in there. It's like It's like it's some sort of
mould is it growing? Yes. And that CEOs cedar Baxter's and
it's just a colony of craziness. You as anyone who you're taking
your life in your own hands with some of these crazy things, I
think is they could be incredibly bad for you.
Number three on the list, and I will tell you the number the
name of number three according to trend expert, Daniel Levine.
This superfood is the new king Wha
What do you think that other stuff was the new king wha
now this is the new quinoa. Amaranth? Yeah, sure. A grain
like seed that cooks quickly and can be added to salads, soups
and stews. It looks a little bit like Yeah, little. What does it
look like? But like little puffy things of goop that blue? Yeah,
looks like rice krispies. Rice Krispies. There
you go. I've heard of this thing getting getting traction. It's
been
shown to reduce inflammation and lower cholesterol levels and
blood pressure.
Yeah, it might probably does. All right. Number two tasty
though is a question
number two has been has been declared by the United Nations.
2016 is the year of this superfood at number two. You
want to take a guess just for yucks.
cat poop
pulses what pulses
pulses Papa uniform
Lima Sierra echo Ciara dried seeds of lentil beans and
chickpeas and the United Nations has declared 2016 to be their
year they already make up 75% of the average diet in developing
countries. But only 25% in developed ones. Pulses they're
called this so far everything so far everything on this list is
depression food.
Yeah, it's all depression food. And the number one
the number one superfood to watch out for in 2016 I'm gonna
let you have one guest
Well it's probably something has already showed up and it's
becoming a big thing and I would suspect it's a variant of kale
no wrong. Remember we're talking super food this food is loaded
with protein it down I want to give it away
it's nice it's it's maybe it's some form of soy.
No. The number one superfood and you say that this list is
probably pretty accurate because these guys do this all the time
and they still make a study of it. And so far the list has been
reasonably accurate for you know, bull crap we're gonna have
to eat the number one superfood is crickets Oh
although
we haven't seen it coming, of course we saw he was going to be
official
but that's the number one superfood because they're loaded
with protein. They also thrive in hotter climates and survive
often decaying waste and very little water in space. For this
reason, crickets and other insects have been hailed as the
next climate friendly superfood. Oh yeah baby. They can be
grounded to baking flour protein powder out of the cookies,
brownies milkshakes. While eating crickets or any type of
insect for that matter hasn't completely caught on in the US
it's making progress. Last year food chain fast food chain
WayBack burgers put out a fake press release as an April Fool's
joke about the insect filled milkshakes but the idea was so
popular they rolled out their Oreo mud pie cricket protein
milkshake. Alright, slaves used to be mac and cheese now she's
down to cricket. Hey, mac and cheese. Oh, cricket, mac and
cheese that says
that would have been Clip of the Day. I've had two of those.
Yeah, I'm doing very well. Astonishing. That's disgusting.
And man, I point out how fortunate we are on this
programme, which of course includes everyone who's
producing and listening. To have an expert like you to be able to
discuss this. You are an expert, much of an expert more than
anyone else. I know. We did call the crickets we called the
crickets number a year ago. I'm really Yes, number one super
food.
But I didn't expect it to actually show up on a list.
That's disgusting. Especially number one. Ah, yeah, that means
people the you know, what's the problem is that these idiots,
you know, I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area. And there's
all these restaurants and you know that these, some of these
one star places somebody will be experimenting with this crap,
of course. And we'll have many more of those, you know, cute
girl working for the new show goes into the restaurant. Oh my
god booked and then any upset down all of that. Not that bad.
We're gonna say a million of those packages.
Yeah. Yeah, it manages to start making them in advance.
You'll know when we're really really in trouble when you'll
only be able to eat cricket food by paying with Bitcoin. I mean,
that's when that's when it will be over. It'll the end will be
nine.
I think that the end is pretty damn close with the crickets in
the first place. All right. It takes about a two year rollout
before these lists. They don't all take off not all the issues.
That is the ones that that food shows will be having. They'll
show you the foods you'll find. Yeah, they'll be there. There'll
be the cricket guys will be there and they'll have the
pitches. They'll have the brochures. I should go to the
next show.
We should be making some bugs man. It's cheap to to raise
them.
I don't really want to grow a bunch of bugs. I got ants.
Why don't you sell them? The ants crunchy and said there's
some nutrition that
I'm having lamb tonight.
I've never seen an auntie Are you hungry
yeah
I just want to interesting story yeah no I'm not gonna buy idiots
and brain dead okay what you got this is the horrible situation
is a European story is not really played much in the United
States but this is because we don't like to say anything bad
about our drug companies replay the
yes yeah I heard this the drug trial story that's what this is
in France and investigation has been gone into a drug trial gone
disastrously wrong. One man is brain dead five others are
hospitalised After volunteering to take part in a trial for a
painkiller as his heroes Nadeem Baba has more.
It was a clinical trial that went badly wrong. Now with one
person declared brain dead and five others in hospital, the
French Health Minister has ordered an investigation, new
families. If
families are devastated, we'll make sure they're given all the
answers, particularly as right now I'm not aware of any
comparable case. What has happened is unprecedented and
requires the greatest possible vigilance in the coming
investigation.
The drug was being trialled at this private clinic in Rakhine
in western France. It was meant to act on the body's
endocannabinoid system which deals with pain.
If you didn't ask your question. The endocannabinoid does that.
How does that relate to marijuana for pain meds and not
at all? Okay.
The condition of marijuana
talks to it. Marijuana talks to it? I think so. Yeah. So
marijuana talks who makes you feel better,
I guess with pain if you didn't pass your loss Diablos. The
condition
of the other patients got worse over the first few days of this
week. And today, four of the five other patients have
neurological problems of varying gravity. Thankfully, the patient
did not have any symptoms. But is of course under intensive
surveillance.
A lawyer for the victim says there was clearly some kind of
error or oversight Dimmick says electronic monitoring was level
pokum in 2016, with all the means we had such an accident
could still happen.
Okay. I'm very interested what it was that caused the brain
damage.
I have a theory. Okay. I will. I think this company is a
Portuguese company BL that sent it to these bile trial guys. And
since I have had experience, I think I've told this story
before when I was an oil analyst, or chemical, I mean,
not an engineer, but it can be a goal analyst at the Union oil
company, and I was doing testing. And I came up with some
wrong tests. Oh, because I screwed up. And I, I would
probably have gotten fired if I hadn't have unscrewed up by
slowly easing myself backwards out of this by
going for it. But stop, stop. Stop. Stop, stop. Yeah.
Did I tell the story before?
I've never heard this story? This is a classic. I can't wait.
Ah,
well, I've actually probably saved the story. But I let's
just put it this way. I made a mistake of factor of 10. Because
just the math it's very easy with with Western math mistake
those Africans? Yeah, I think somebody looked at the numbers
and it said, they said micrograms, and he thought
milligrammes or seriously, this happened. And you're off phone.
So you may get mixed up a batch. I'm sure that pills didn't come
over already pre made. I'm sure it was something that we're
doing it that because they had different dosages. Maybe they
were but they were even if they were pre made, it could have
been done. I think somebody just got a hot dose.
Most most pain medication are or they bet no not been there.
SSRIs. No, opioids, opioids. Well, maybe they Oh, do they act
like that? Maybe these people I
think it was I think somebody screwed up the dosage and that
they don't want to talk about it. It happened because I had
this. This happened to me and when it happens to you, you
don't know how it even happens. Because you should know that you
in this case, I could see where you wouldn't notice the other
guy's brain dead isn't what the hell and then the look back. Oh
my god, I gave this guy 100 times more than I was supposed
to. You know what
I do? I blame this on Common Core.
Ah, yes, exactly.
I gotta find a one the, the United Nations of Gitmo nation
east. We're very, very proud of their boy, Tim Peake. Tim Peake,
the national hero. Finally we got the Union Jack up there in
space. He's the first British spacetourer not to do a walk. He
did a walk. And this clip is interesting for a number of
reasons. I implore people to watch the video. It's in the
show notes. Seven nine or one.no agenda notes.com under clips and
Docs is where you can find it. Very strange report. Well, we'll
discuss afterwards.
Now another thing is a spacewalk to repair the International
Space Station has ended Early after one of the astronauts
reported a water bubble in his helmet, both of the astronauts
to Britain Tim Peake and the American team at Cobra on the
spacewalk have returned to the station and they are safe. Our
science editor David Shipman now reports,
a moment of exploration history prepares to venture outside the
space station through the course of the depressurization,
weightless but jammed into a bulky spacesuits. He needs his
colleagues to guide him into the airlock. And
when you see this video, now, I'll just tell you what the
conspiracy is about this and you can laugh at me later. The
conspiracy is that the all astronaut movement you see so
called outside of the space station is actually done in a
swimming pool where they film it. And activity inside the
space of the space station. People are suspended by wires
for them floating around. It's just a conspiracy theory. But
when you look at it, that they're floating around, it's
quite a long piece of video. Do you see that the shoulder
shoulders have these suspicious points are being raised with
shoulder pads underneath that apparently, and then we get this
bubble of water inside the spacesuit. Which leads me to the
next question. What have they ever done on the International
Space Station except fix the damn thing? It's all they're
always repairing it ever since I can remember. But we have to
repair it. So now there's something wrong with the I wrote
it down hold on. And
by had Tim Peake and a fellow astronaut inched along outside.
That's perfect framing right there. We like that
filmed by his American colleague who
sounds like I don't know, a movie director. That's perfect
framing stay right there block the shot everybody we're good to
go.
Tim Peake is perched at the very edge of the space station in
position to help carry out a key repair job. Stepping outside the
International Space Station is always risky. But spacewalks are
essential to build and fix things. Now the astronauts
emerged through an airlock here. And if we take a closer look, we
can see how they had to make their way about 60 metres to
replace what's called a sequential shunt Unit
What is the sequential shunt unit? What is that and how and
why did how does it break and how do you fix it? What is that?
I have no idea Hold on a second. Sequential shunt.
This is funny one of those general words have you ever
worked in a factory is it he had a shunt, I need a shunt. Here we
got a shim
electrical system of the International Space Station.
Here we go. Let me see if there's a shunt, what is the
shunt at two separate solar array strings feed a sequential
shunt unit known as the SSU that provides course voltage
regulation at the desired voltage, the SSU applies a dummy
load that increases the station Oh increases as the station's
load decreased. Okay, I understand. Um, so it's it's
kind of a regulator. So the batteries don't discharge the
batteries discharged evenly, and you had
technically a regulator, but it's the shunt is not the word I
use? Well, it's
called the SSU the power now if you have an International Space
Station, international being the key word, why is the voltage 120
volts?
Well, why isn't always known to be a safer voltage,
but the you know, so only Americans can bring their stuff
up to plug it in
here. So there's plenty of places that have 120s that are
not, let's continue, that's part
of the power supply connecting the solar panels. The main task
was to replace that power unit, they had to get it done within
31 minutes. Because that's how long night last on the space
station, and if sunlight hit the solar panels, it could have been
electrocuted,
you might die really.
They're gonna be electrocuted by this.
Event all went well.
Suddenly, drama, drama
isn't a problem problem.
We know it's a small amount of water if there's any way to get
a temperature of the water. I don't know if you can move it
around.
So there's a water bubble. No, I think it's the other way around.
I think though I don't think this came from his pack up
thinking you know, he's his suit is leaky. He's in the swimming
pool and waters go and we've got to get this guy out.
Or to try to drink it and knows the pace. Mission Control
says why don't you try to drink the water bubble tell us what it
tastes like. That was my first thought as well. Strange found
in the helmet of Tim peaks companion Tim Kopra. They were
ordered back inside a syringe was used to collect samples of
the water. This matters because three years ago, an astronaut
nearly drowned in his spaceship. This time no harm was done, and
the main repair task was completed.
Better National Space Station to full power. We really appreciate
all the dedication, hard work,
and there'll be questions about what went wrong. And all of this
is a reminder of the dangers of working in space.
Yes. The dangers of working in space. Right? They're always
what did they do? What is what goes on up there? What
experience Oh, science experiments, but what
experiments? Well, you're what kinds of experiments you can
look it up look Space Station experiments. There's 1000s of
them. Are you there?
Yeah, I've done I'm not looking at them. Okay. I finally just I
mean, I mean, I admire some of these crazy ideas that like the
water in the space station. Nobody's ever. We don't have
anybody in orbit and God knows what. But the problem was is
like, hey, how long are you going to run this gag on us?
It's a little too long to be running a gag like this. It just
doesn't make sense. I mean, unless you're completely of
psychopath. No,
Whoa. Did you just contradict yourself? Of course, they're
psychopaths. No, I have just a final thing I want to leave
everybody with for the face bag since it's so unbelievably
hypocrite. The I've seen so critical hypocritical. I've seen
so many people making jokes about Jerry Hall and Rupert
Murdoch and we
I'm all with you on this. I didn't we talked about this in
the last show.
We did and something hit me after the show. Okay, if someone
makes jokes of the anon the face bag these are all Democrats,
Obama bots, you know, everyone's better than the next everyone
knows that so so well, and they may Oh, wow. She had gold digger
Jerry Hall by question is to these people. Really? Whatever
happened to you should be able to marry the person you love.
Hypocrite. It's okay if it's gays and lesbians. But if
there's an age difference Oh no, then we all have then it's this
not okay. Do I like that? Try that one out. Try that one out.
Oh, as dynamite doesn't need perfecting or is it? Kind of
there Right.
I think you're fine. Boom. Okay,
good. And with that, we wind up yet another media deconstruction
we gave you tips we gave you ringtones tip day we give your
ringtones we gave you what else we give
you but I think that I think you're beginning and don't you?
I think you opened the show with a bang with that Academy Award
bull crap we
are rockin and rollin baby I we need support everybody. Yeah, we
need remember us for Thursday. divorce.org/na. Then for the end
today, of course we'll put in the GIBBO national anthem as
requested. I think I got some notes here I can put in that'll
make it fun. All right. Anything I should be watching. And yeah.
After we after we get done here should go watch the end of the
week. Now the football is kind of interesting. You want to
catch the end of the Seattle game. Okay. And then there's
another game this evening that would be worth of another pro
did because now we're wrapping up the playoffs for the final
couple of games next week. And then the Super Bowl. Excellent.
Now's the time to watch.
Excellent. Alright everybody. Thank you very much for tuning
in everybody listening on the live stream coming to you from
FEMA Region six here in the skyscraper in downtown Austin.
The Morning everybody. My name is Adam curry.
And I'm from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm stunned. And by
the way, it's going to pour rain tonight. I think I'm John C.
Dvorak.
We'll be back on Thursday right here on no agenda.
If you're not down with
Predator drone, you might die
flying over Afghanistan, or maybe it was Pakistan. I
promised myself to aim myself at every woman child and man that
was on my list. I don't care if I missed I remote controlling. I
do what I'm told by someone that come you know, Obama gave me a
push more than Bush and I cost millions. I'm supposed to target
terrorists, but not so much civilians. I don't know why to
say lump sum got in my way. A drone again. Naturally. A drone
again. Truly.
