I'm not superstitious start the show over.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak
and Sunday November 16 2014. It's time for your get my nation
media assassination episode six, seven. This is no agenda dodging
Jack Frost who wants to roast my nuts here in FEMA Region two in
the heart of Gotham, New York City in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where there's no nuts to roast.
I'm John C. Dvorak. Buzzkill.
All right. Well, it's the improvement is about what about
90%? Now? All right, it's better than nothing. I am running on
the hotspot. Well, I was the only guy
who suggested it after you. We should explain to people we
started the show a few minutes ago. And then we had to restart
it because we the connection was crap. And then somebody
suggested he uses hotspot, which is a little device that looks at
the cell network. And he berated the person. It's
different than that. And it's not quite the if someone said,
Hey, I know maybe we should try a mobile hotspot instead in chat
room style. It's, here's a good I was like, yeah, thank you.
Thank you very much. You should get a mobile router. Yeah, thank
you. I'm using that to, like, I have every combination known to
man. It's just the it's the what is the word I'm looking for? It
is the it's just chat room speak. You know, it's how people
are in chat room. Like they're like, they just think that they
can just say stuff. Like I'm like, I'm Jewish.
They don't think they can say stuff.
They do they can.
That's why they do it.
Exactly. Anyway, now you all we're trying to do is bring you
the best podcast in the universe, every single time
regardless of location. And I have to say, it's a little
frustrating for me when the only thing that is just not stable is
the connection wherever you are. It's really, really infuriating
sometimes.
Well, it's especially in your in the Big Apple. Yeah. Well, they
have good connectivity,
actually, I think Manhattan is is pretty much known for really,
really bad connectivity. Residential, right? Yeah, yeah,
I hear nothing. I hear nothing but complaints from people in
New York City in Manhattan itself. Yeah, it's apparently
it's hard. It's very hard to get any kind of decent connection
here.
But it's 11 1614 There you go.
The somewhere
we're talking about bad connections. Yes. I have oh, by
the way, I wanted to say this where we just as we begin, so I
put I went downstairs and got my ranch hand.
Oh, this is yeah, this is your your WD 40
ranch hand I'm going to tell people with this so they can try
to try to a try to find it and then buy is not cheap. So it's
called ranch hand spray lubricant. Powered by thermo
lube which I guess bought this company. And it is the
slipperiest stuff ever. So I put it on on this. I have a mic
stand not a mic stand but a you know a big one that has a floor
mount a floor one.
A boom, boom, boom, arm thing.
Yeah, boom arm. Yeah. And so I sprayed it in there because now
it makes zero noise I can go back and forth and back and
forth and back and forth. You use cameras you know you whether
it's a digital still camera or a homie movie camera. There are
tripods out there that the pros use. Yeah, that cost 10 grand or
more. And you've seen these things. Yeah. And if if you grab
the handle this thing and pan and pan the camera, it's like
glass. Yes, these things are just astonishing to us. You can
draw it's just like wow, and it's the right kind of
hyper hydraulic damping something rather than
just what you know, it just feels right. And then if you go
and do what I do and buy like a nice $20 type tripod, slightly
different in quality. You know, you try to fan with it. You get
jerky jerky and you just can't do it unless you go real fast.
Yeah, I think what I'm going to try this I'll bet you with this
ranch hand I can turn a $25 Cheap tripod into a professional
feeling piece of stunning gear. I wish we could turn our
bar $12.95 per day internet connection at the hotel into you
know like like a $20,000 line that will be nice. I'd be happy
with that. Make
sure you get your money back. Says you're on a little spot.
Yeah, I am on the little hotspot the freedom pop, yet to be
exact.
I would tend to doubt would complain to the hotel said this
is no good. I want my money back.
So we're in New York and they will give it back. We're in New
York here for a friend of mine very good friend of mine his
50th birthday and we thought it was a good excuse for us to come
to New York and move Of course to go see Uncle Don which is
tomorrow tomorrow we go up to up to the farm to go see him. And
first of all let me point out this trip started off on the
wrong foot. Oh good. Yeah. On the way to the so it's we had an
815 flight from Austin and I want to print out the tickets
the night before and I already see that this is not good. I'll
just go get him at the airport. Because for some reason yeah.
TSA decided. Yeah, no, Miss Miki the foreigner she can have pre
check but uh, you can't have pre check what they do this from
time to time Yeah, yeah. So ultimately the side of the two
people traveling the one who has been let me see a deported from
the country the one the one who has been good flagged
consistently stopped from a fluid entry re entry into the
country. Now she's good to go. Um, take the law abiding,
taxpaying citizen and deprive him of precheck
and what couldn't you couldn't get his boarding pass? No, I
got a boarding pass but not with the pre check qualifications on
it. Oh,
oh, yeah. Well, that's that's hit and miss. Okay.
Well, that's that's bullcrap. I'm a trusted traveler.
No, well, what can I tell you? They gotta check on you to make
sure it's the same Adam curry not that guy in North Dakota.
By the way, I want to point out I said fluid re entry I just
want you to know that that goes along with your your ranch hand.
And by the way, I believe this ranch hand this branding. It has
porn written all over it. I don't know what kind of
does this is like a port. The label looks like some you know
they get some gavit a rope.
Really? No they do not. Yeah, a guy with a rope.
Yeah, that sounded on the label. Okay, some cowboy looks like
he's wearing chap. Hey, girl. I
bet he is I'll videos yeah, no,
seriously.
Anyway, so
did something new. And by the way, it's called a penetrating
Luber.
No bullcrapping me now.
It says Multi Purpose penetrating lubricant.
Hold on a sec. I could put this in the show notes is can you buy
it on Amazon? Probably no.
You have to really go buy from this source. It's very hard to
get ours to find out how to buy it. But did you hear about oh,
here it is. Oh, and Chan lubricant. Got
it right here. I got it right here. It's on Amazon.
Okay, yeah. Too much at Amazon. I think that's the problem.
Let's
see an 11 inch 11 inch 11 ounce 11 ounce a coos magnifi coos
ranch hand spray lubricant. Okay, let me see the picture.
How can I help? You can't see. Yeah, yeah, there was a guy on
the right like it's a it's an outline of silhouette. Yeah. It
looks like he has like a whip like a like a one of those
Rawhide bow. What does it wait? Yeah, yeah. All right. Yeah.
Yeah. Designed for the rigors of the farm and ranch industries
can tackle a variety of household commercial, industrial
marine and sporting needs. Interesting. Okay. Onward. So I
did something I did something new while here in in New York
and then
way way, stop, right. You've jumped a story. What story we
I got through and got the other side?
Oh, no, I thought it says started ignominiously.
Well, this was this made me very angry, particularly because Miss
Mickey was sitting on the other side with some woman whose
husband had exactly the same thing. And they're sitting there
snickering
it's because of the lesbians that run th DHS, we know that
we've already been hit and
miss Mickey and this lady weren't lesbians. It's just a
general woman thing that this is all part of their plan.
That's why they were snickering about it.
So we arrived to JFK. And for the first time ever, we try an
Uber
or an Uber in New York. Yeah. I always controversial there.
I think it's controversial everywhere, depending on what
side of the taxi industry you're on. And I don't know exactly why
I've had this Anthropy or I've had a like a thing about I don't
know about this Uber and I just didn't never felt good about it.
I never tried it.
I would never even take any of those things. They just get on
that little that train. Takes a ride in the Manhattan. Yeah,
no, there was there was some problem with the train because
actually, we were planning on doing that. And there was there
was some issue with the I don't know it was there was something
going on on this particular day or between hours mm. Forget
about it. This is and, and I'd never use this app I, of course,
I had my my iPod Touch. So I had to go outside in the freezing
cold and turn on the freedom pop because as you know, I don't
carry a phone. And, and then of course, there's a guy waiting
right there. And I have to say it was a pretty enjoyable
experience. In the although I have to say there's some there's
one piece of it, that is the kind of bull crap, you don't
really get a full pricing upfront, you know, you can get
the if you know where how the app works, you can click, it'll
give you kind of an estimate. And see, the other night, we
already got one of those surge pricing. So it's 1.3 times the
normal price. And I don't think that the pricing is really
transparent or that it's you know that you really have a good
idea. And it's definitely more expensive than a yellow cab.
I've just from my own experience in New York. But the quality of
just tapping and someone showing up at exact moment when the app
says the person showing up and, and you know, not being some
just crazed cab driver. Pretty good. I have to say it I'm
they've wanted me from the airport was 60 bucks, which is
too much well, although it wasn't suburban, so I'll give
them that at the same. Nice. Yeah. I don't know the answer.
And of course then, and I already knew before I even went
to the TSA I should say I realized I know I have a
complete duplicate set on the best podcasting universe
ultimate podcast system. I've duplicated everything except for
the actual the audio device, because that's too expensive to
duplicate. But I have duplicate wires, duplicate microphone,
boom, I don't have a duplicate microphone, because it's really
expensive pieces I can't duplicate. And as as going
through this ordeal, I remember I took the microphone off, and I
have duplicate cords, but I forgot to take the mount off of
the mic arm at the studio at home. And for the Rhoda
Procaster, which I use as a very particular mount that screws
onto the back of the microphone.
So you're holding it by hand. Well, I
was prepared to do a gaffer tape thing. And I called around I
wound up taking Uber to on Amazon on Friday to Sam ash
music who did not have when I called the importer. He didn't
have one. But Sam ash had at least a kind of a generic shock
mount, which is Liz and isn't things not going to win any
beauty prizes because it really doesn't fit. So you know, kind
of tried to slide it over the mic and it's working. So another
one of those things you like, of all the things I wanted to have,
you know how this is solved? Check checklists,
right but this was the first time you're right. And I didn't
expect well, the whole point is not to have a checklist. It's
just I have the bag and everything's good to go. You're
right checklist.
I have a check. You know, I might travel check. Yeah, I've
done your checklist toothbrush.
Things one of the things you have to I had to have on the
checklist because it happened to me twice are you wearing a belt
Okay, twice this happened to me I was I showed up in here I am
I'm in Chicago and I look I'm not getting no damn belts
I'd have I should have a belt, I would have the bag, I do have a
check. I got my I got the D star. I always bring the D star
with me. You know and then the charger for the D star always
bring that you never know what to happen. And so anyway, we
said we here Friday and we have it all planned out. And I had
purchased through StubHub which was not cheap, but I know I
wanted to take my girl out because this show was it's been
sold out. We went to see the Carole King musical beautiful.
Yeah, supposed to be I think it one quite a few awards.
Outstanding musical. And I wasn't I wasn't able to get
orchestra in the middle. So we orchestra a little bit off to
the left, which was okay. And so covered a couple of experiences
here one. And I told Mickey there's a lot going on where
there's some you know, honey, in New York, people don't dress up
to go to Broadway shows they're kind of scum.
And she comes because it's mostly tourists. Yes.
Mostly it's all tourists including us. Yeah. Okay, so we
look good, no doubt about it. And while we're waiting, she's
always do a little selfie with the you know, the two of us and
the grand piano in the background. People are still
coming into theater, and immediately is like, no
photography about that. I'm sorry, I can't No photography
even before the show started, you can take a picture of
yourself sitting there. And that person is yelling. I guess I'll
say it a lesbian with a crazy short gray hair like a theater
lesbian with a headset on. No, no, it's fuck mess. And Mickey's
like, Wow, you're a rule follower. I said, I gotta tell
you I'm cowering in the corner over here. This lady scared me.
All right, no photography. Here's I have to say Great show.
I'd forgotten how many songs Carole King had written. I
forgotten about the relationship between her and her husband and
Cynthia Weil who of course also read some phenomenal wrote some
phenomenal songs. And it was it in a way it was kind of like a
Jersey Boys idea where you you know the songwriters life and
how some of the songs were born, for instance, locomotion,
you know, which was we're going cheap on the election. It's
totally cheap. actors were great. But here's the thing. We
were the youngest people in the theater. And I believe this is a
poor marketing.
Oh, yeah. Right. Yes. Because you're the only people in the
theater she did nobody look younger than you knows who the
hell Carole King Zack Harris.
But if you if you know, it's if you hear locomotion, Little Eva
or the righteous brothers, or if you know all the drifters songs,
up on the roof. A lot of people a lot of younger people have
heard the songs so the marketing somehow is crap. And that's
okay, because I don't mind if we're the youngest people. But
um, but a marketing list is such crap that it wasn't sold out. It
was completely
sold out completely
eviction about you and to be sold out to younger people. Is
that what you're saying?
Let me tell you when I'm fishing. afford it. The only
here's the only web younger I'm telling you. I couldn't afford
this. But you so you sit in there and all the songs and I'm
like, Yeah, I'm bopping around. And I'm looking at it's like,
people's hands aren't even moving. Not for a single second.
Do I see
tapping their toes? Oh,
nothing. It was disturbing. And I already got the Tourette's
going. You know,
it was an audience of zombie. Maybe.
I was just surprised. How can you sit still? Anyway, so it was
nice. It's been very nice. And we went to the party last night
my buddy JB Miller, who had he to another, you know, he had a
he was born 64 So he said come to the high school dance 1964
which I think is a tough one. It's a tough one to what are you
in come dressed like that? Because 60 For me, no, that
wasn't Woodstock. That was 69 So you know, but it wasn't quite
Greasers. 1950s Which, but it was
it was the end of the beatnik era. So you could have come
dressed as as the Dobie Gillis beatnik
a few people were we went more in the pet. Mickey had a polka
dot petticoat and I had the leather jacket and the jeans and
the high tops. And there were a number of people like that
somewhere completely 70s Strangely enough, it was nice
party. And we took an Uber and I and I felt again like I beat
some kind
of big promoter of Uber since you mentioned their selfies.
Yeah, sorry. Let's flip. Well, it's too late now. Might as well
play this little clip that showed up on one of the morning
news shows. And I believe it's Good Morning America, which is
the worst of them. About the 100 likes club. Have you heard about
this?
The 100 likes club? Yes, no, I have.
Joining us now parenting expert Dr. Robin Silverman and what is
your whole take on this? Social media?
Sorry. That should be child psychologist on likes.
Isn't that what isn't that what I'm playing?
No. 100 likes club.
Sorry. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. It's sometimes it's challenging with
the way you like to a spell things or write things in bytes
club. I was looking. I was looking under H I'm sorry. I got
it.
Efficient among teens. That's right. They may call the 100
club. It's turning Facebook and Instagram into a competition
causing some anxiety for Vinay This is Abby Patro has a story
for us.
From the moment 14 year old Kayla KANEBO snaps a selfie
as the best one you can put filters on it writes a cute
caption. I'll say it as Good Morning America take true selfie
with hobby
and posted on Instagram is already one Kayla's quest for
100 likes begins. It's called the 100 Club and teams are
becoming obsessed
if you're more popular at school then you'll get more likes on
that
I think this one the zombies from the Carole King Show
talking.
That's what I'm telling you.
The concept is simple hitting 100 or more likes on a Facebook
or Instagram post shows your friends how popular you are.
Anything less than 100 likes is considered a poor showing even
embarrassing like this pic of the back of Kayla's head she
posted that only got 70 likes I'll
delete that picture. Why?
Why would you delete it?
Because I guess the picture wasn't good enough.
Friends are feeling the pressure to everyone in school
gets around 100 or more. So then kind of gets us wanting to be in
the hundreds. I don't know it's just not good to the only person
who doesn't have it.
And all of this anxiety worries Kayla's mom if it comes up while
we're together I
say Kayla, it doesn't even matter. A picture of you doesn't
need to validate you. That's not you. That's a picture of you.
Experts are
just limiting your team's time online. But for Kayla, that
won't be so easy who was relieved to report her selfie
with our GMA crew got well over 100 likes for Good Morning
America. Abby Boudreau ABC News, Los Angeles
you know I thought I thought I was depressed this morning after
my conversation with Mickey about the Black Pete situation
in Holland but this is this is reason to move.
I'm telling you, I'm only clip this for you. You're the one
that did wrong. Thesis. Oh, this is just more validation. But I'm
giving it a LIKE,
but what so they're they're promoting this 100 Like club as
as some kind of badge of honor. I don't know. It's
if you listen to that girl talk. Yeah, it's I know she sounds
like dimwit was horrible. Yeah, I got 100 likes I didn't get 100
likes on my back of my head picture I asked him well you
shouldn't I have to remember this I had to tell him I take it
down I'm
no good I gotta take it away because it's not again well then
then let me get into this other bit of depressing news. It all
came to a head yesterday and I think it I believe it is
happening again as we speak in the Netherlands. We've been
following this for I must be two years now. This is the Black
Pete controversy in the Netherlands. Lack P Black Pete
we need to somebody should maybe our buddy who does the screaming
could yell black
bag. So we got the Black Pete and this is the just a quick
run. Well, you know what, I'll play the EURO NEWS clip and
probably should explain it, although very poorly, a lot left
out and I think I've I think I've figured a few things out on
this and what's really going on here.
Dutch police have arrested Around 90 people during a
protest over Svarta Pete Nicholas's controversial
blackface companion. Most arrests were made when people
protested in a non designated zone in the town of Gowda
Scuffles broke out at a reenactment of the St. Nicholas
story. Many see the Black Pete figure as a racial stereotype,
while others say it's not linked to race. In partake of any
stakeholder, I'm against his black faces. That's all no black
faces.
I'm delighted to say
that as descendants of slaves, who have been abused by the
Netherlands, we don't agree that about 300 black look alike
slaves come along here with St. Nicholas
have been wonderful, so frail, black, black local art slaves
make
interesting how the Dutch guy all of a sudden throws out black
lookalike slaves. It's a point of note here. Oh, you mentioned
all those
people who have a problem with Black Pete. It's our tradition.
Leave it alone. You have your tradition, so why can't we ever
and that Romania it's a tradition which is attracting
mounting controversy following protests earlier this year,
Amsterdam's Regional Court said that Black Pete gave rise to
racial stereotyping and ordered a review of the festival.
Okay. Okay. Couple of things. So this is the EURO NEWS report.
The couple of things I have to say to correct the report a
little bit. Are you still with me, John? We're still connected.
Oh, yeah. Okay, good. Now, this all started and we we
deconstructed a lot of this. I believe it was it wasn't it
wasn't two years ago. Was it one year ago? It's feels like it was
two years ago. Two, two, yeah. When a woman named Vereen
Shepherd, who is a member of the working group of As experts on
people of African descent, a and this is only a working group of
experts who are affiliated with the office of the United Nations
High Commissioner for Human Rights the O H Chr. M, this
marine shepherd who had everything wrong, she did not
know what Sinterklaas was versus Santa Claus. And but her whole
mission is to receive payments for descendants of slaves mainly
in the Caribbean regions, which as you can hear words like black
slave lookalikes, et cetera, and what I was to continue. So there
was a lawsuit the high Dutch court had to or the Dutch High
Court had to evaluate if it was illegal for the mayor of
Amsterdam, to give a permit for the parade of Sinterklaas and
his black Pete's whoever year come on the steam ship from
Spain. And mind you Sinterklaas is the St. Nicholas, who will be
a white dude with a huge white beard sitting on a horse with a
pope hat. And then he's got a big stick the golden What do you
call that?
Set? Sattar
says it's not a scepter I think a scepter is a short version.
They call this a stuff.
Okay, big long stick,
big long stick. And he's got these Pete's and and of course
this is based in, in slavery for it's from 1600s Whatever. And
throughout the years, people have convinced themselves that
these black Pete's are they're black because they go down the
chimney and that's how they got blackface like, okay, right,
whatever, fine. The Dutch invented slavery by the way.
They're the ones that shipped the slaves from Africa to the
new world to the United States on the Dutch ships. But of
course, it's not a racial thing. Then it never was an issue until
this working group of experts on people of African descent showed
up with his Vereen shepherd. And she started to make a big a
whole bunch of noise about it and it keeps cropping up but in
this case, they they had buses of people with T shirts printed
T shirts on a organized bus A busting from Amsterdam to howdah
and that because this is where the the good the holy man lands
first and they had a designated area I shut up slave free speech
area I guess it must have been you know, 50 or 100 I mean, it
was a couple more and instead of just standing there with their
their protest their their their their Black Pete pictures with a
big red ring or like a Do Not Enter sign on it. They started
yelling things towards the kid like the kids little kids like
Sinterklaas isn't real. The parents, parents, like hey,
killjoy beat you over the head. And so they arrested a whole
bunch of them. And they all get fined. Like they arrested 60 of
them, whatever. But and I went through this, I woke up at three
or four this morning. And I see this this news and I know
there's another protest like this today. And I'm looking
like, Is there nobody is there not a single Dutch publication?
I speak the language. I read it quite well, who has looked at
who is organizing the bus trip? You'd think it would make sense
for someone to do a little bit of I don't know, what do you
call it? Journalism?
Reporting? Yes.
So it all comes from this Svarta Pete's needs as in Black Pete No
organization, which appears to be I'll read this to you. They
have here their partners. And now this of course is in in
Dutch but you'll understand quite quickly. The partners of
this initiative are the new urban collective, the nonprofit
Holland will become better the Dutch council for in Betterment
or improvement of Moroccans back to Palestine Euro Mediterranean
center of migration and development, platforms stop
racism and exclusion, the sole rebel movement, the nonprofit,
the overlook or harm the discussion group for Caribbean
Dutch people. The nonprofit think Kabir the transnational
migrant platform, the Commission for Filipino migrant workers,
platform of Filipino migrant organizations in this is more of
this UN crap. That's all of the These organizations had
somewhere have a connection back to the United Nations. And, and
I think as I then listen to this clip, any of the pieces of
advice in this letter sound more like something you would I'm
sorry, that's the wrong clip. Forget the clip, as I read this
article that the the, the parents of Michael Brown, the
kid who was killed in Ferguson, Missouri, where everybody is on
pins and needles for this grand jury. Yes or no indictment or
arrest of the of the police officer and others in the in the
police force, that they were invited to go to Geneva and to
talk to a different department of the what is it the office of
the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights?
This is the terrorists or the I'm sorry, the what is it
called? The torture department, the Committee Against Torture.
And this is the same United Nations.
Well, what do you think these are up to? I mean, why would
they send these people from Ferguson there?
Thank you. I think the United Nations at least this, this
division is out to racially divide everybody. What else are
they doing? There's no room. Okay. Yes, I can see where Black
Pete can, you know, can migrate over time. And you can have a
yellow one called the cheese Pete, you've got the rainbow.
Pete. You got the Pete that has just smudges of black because he
went down the chimney Pete. And then there's calls for the gay
Pete the lesbian Pete The Naked Pete whatever, fine. The
Netherlands is very good at transitioning and changing
itself slowly over time to visit. It's a modern,
multicultural society. I agree. But this is provocative
provocation directly from the United Nations. And I think
there's an overall agenda here what we have, we have no proof
on Michael Brown, we have really have no proof those hands were
up or down. They've got out and now this poor family, these
parents, and I think when they divorce, they're they're
traveling together. It doesn't matter. What they've been
whisked off to Geneva to talk about how horrible and torture
is in America. And now all of a sudden, anonymous, has popped
onto the scene and is exposing that every single member of the
Ferguson Police Force is a member of the Ku Ku Klux Klan. I
mean, come on. There's something going on here, which doesn't
make any sense. Have you seen this?
This is? Yeah. And you look at the comments and people are all
in there's no question anonymous. Well, of course, they
must be good guys. They must be all in on the truth. I'm, I'm
suspicious of the overall involvement of the United
Nations, in particular, the Office of the United Nations
High Commissioner for Human Rights. I'm very suspicious now
of what the heck they're doing that causes
money. That's I think it's a money grab. This is this sounds
like this sounds like a world class upgrade to the Jesse
Jackson scam. Hmm.
Interesting.
You know, where you go around, we think that you were
discriminate. We're gonna start protests against your company
and call for a boycott. Oh, by the way, you haven't donated to
our cause. In fact, there's a check. Okay, bye. Thanks, et al
sharpton
and Jesse Jackson go along with the Ferguson parents to to
Geneva.
I don't know, but Shopkin be the one who would do it. I mean,
Sharpton showed up in Ferguson immediately. Right, right.
Right. Right, for you know, is another way of making more
money.
Let me see if it says sharp. I don't think Jackson may have to.
I don't think either one went to went along. Well, they're
probably irked by that. Well, yeah. Yeah, but the new if the
United Nations is using this as an extortion scheme, why would
they want to other extortionist in the in the game?
The cutting them out is what's happening?
Yeah, you definitely cut them out.
So they testified here. There's the parents of Ferguson
teenager. What is it? microblog testified before the United
Nations Committee? I'm sorry.
I'm saying unless your eye witnesses what are they going to
testify to?
I don't know if they're if there's a video Yeah, I think
that they probably did. But this was the Committee on torture.
which by itself is an interesting take on it all. So
anyway, so the Dutch are paying their fair
share, that's the deal.
Or, the crazy thing is, with all the stuff that's going I mean,
if you've made it a burqa Pete it'd probably be okay. You know
it's fine. Pete in a burqa is okay in the Netherlands. But if
you really look at what they're arguing, what they're arguing
like that, let's go with burqa peak BurgerFi if you look at
what people are arguing about, it's so insignificant really, in
the overall issues that are that are taking place in the
Netherlands in Western Europe in general. The whole just
everything they're in a financial spiral, the they've
got people the petrified, can't talk about there's still no
resolution on the MH 17 flight 00 resolution, they still have
not released the black box information. And of course we
got this
date control TV has aired photographs.
I love it Russian state control TV just started like that. And
you know, it's gotta be fake reportedly
showing a fighter jet firing a missile out of passenger plane
over eastern Ukraine. Channel one said the images supported
Moscow's theory that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 17 was shot
down by a Ukrainian fighter jet.
Do you see any of these pictures that surfaced all of a sudden?
Yes, yeah. No. And they'd been around. We've seen these
pictures for I think two months at least. And there's no there's
no real it's just pictures this pic
Photoshop. Yeah,
a crash that killed all 298 people on board. But the
Ukrainian National Defense Council says the photos are
forgeries.
This fake was debunked within 30 minutes. It turned out to be a
very crude falsification.
The finger pointing hasn't stopped since July's crash with
Moscow and Ukraine blaming each other for destroying the jet.
The photographs were published on the eve of a G 20 Summit,
where Russian President Vladimir Putin faced strong criticism
from Western leaders for Moscow's actions in Ukraine.
This of
course, is what the that's the timing of it all, obviously,
yeah, I want to transition to the G 20. Stuff that I have
good, good, good. You got to conclude whatever you are
concluding,
okay, I'm just gonna wrap it up by saying I am very skeptical of
a I am severely and I have family and friends who work at
quote unquote respectable publications in the Netherlands
false crowns and Elsa fear. And neither of them have even taken
the time to expose who was financing these groups who are
shaming you ship people? No, you bust people in to go protest all
wearing T shirts with the same print on it. It's called being
provocateurs. And instead they talk about this right, this
divide in the Netherlands Oh, people are divided bull crap.
You're being manipulated, and they're either complicit or
they're too stupid or whatever the problem is the or both? Yes,
yes, I hate to call my family and friends stupid, but you're
stupid. And they're not doing their job properly. And all all
roads lead back to the United Nations to this high office on
human rights and I I see them doing nothing but including with
this Ferguson thing, which is I don't think it's time yet to
have anyone testified before the Committee on torture. I don't
think we're there yet. We need a couple more things to happen. So
I'm saying the United Nations is stirring the pot. And I will
accept your thesis and keep an eye out for the age old scam of
it was a black man blackmail extortion, extortion. Thank you.
I'll keep my illegal
extortion. No, I mean, there's illegal extortion where you hold
a gun to somebody's head, which is also robbery. Yeah. But just
as kids this is a scam.
It's also not nice. It's it's not a nice thing to do. No,
nothing. Yeah, none of these things are time these at the
same characters are involved over and over and over and it's
pretty obvious what they're up to. So the 20 was on and so
things seem to be just a setup to harangue Putin. And let's
play a couple of clips. The first one is France 24 on G 20
Putin snub and it's got a little tidbit in there with Obama.
Again, bringing up the downed airliner
smiles belie the mounting tension. Brisbane has turned out
to be a very lonely place for the Russian President Vladimir
Putin. The stated focus of the G 20. Meeting is the global
economy that less than leaders kept piling pressure on Russia
over its role in the Ukrainian crisis.
What we've done so far is a combination of sanctions. And I
think Russia knows that if they continue down the path of
destabilizing Ukraine, there's likely to be more of the same.
Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper speaking less diplomatic
language he needs to get out of Ukraine. He told Putin According
to a spokesman, US President Barack Obama delivered a sharp
rebuke during his speech at the University of Queensland.
We're leading in opposing Russia's aggression against
Ukraine. Which is a threat to the world as we saw in the
appalling shoot down of MH, seven.
Oh, wow. Wow, he just blamed him on it.
Yeah, wow,
that's what that's that's uncalled a lot and that's not
okay. It's
uncalled for. There's the, with the black box information has
even been revealed in there. He is blaming him. Wow. And if I
think it's a cat, though, the report was very negative about
and it's always about Putin. And I didn't show you what Tim and I
were no fans of Putin for people out there. But we just see this
as being somewhat illegitimate. Now, they talked about Merkel
everybody's against him. They wanted him out, you know,
they're blaming the Merkel thing was kind of Merkel murky because
they, they didn't have any clips from her. And I don't know that
she was saying anything. But you play that this little short clip
here, which is the it's number two on Merkel and you see this
vague.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, tensions over Ukraine are
hindering efforts to boost growth. And French President
Francois lawned. Almost skipped a diplomatic handshake. A
customary photoshoot with a koala was less frosty, although
somewhat awkward.
Oh, yeah. The koala Photoshop. That was great. Did you see this
now? The koala picture. I'm sorry. Yeah. Can I talk to
Merkel? I'm gonna tell you I would mentioned this. The way
they set this. You can't hear me.
I can hear you. I'm listening.
The Merkel the way they put it is as though Merkel was had
something to do with complaining about Putin. But if you if you
listen to it carefully, what she was complaining about was
everybody else bitching at Putin. But they, you know,
Merkel is on his side in this. Yeah. They're not portrayed that
just play the beginning of this clip again about Merkel listen
to read, listen to it with it in mind that her complaints are
about the complaining.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's tensions over Ukraine
are hindering efforts to boost growth. And French President
Francois Alon.
Yeah, no, it's, you know, I am collecting there's there's
actually a great website and I have the I think I've added the
feed to the no agenda news network.com. It's, it's called
it's a Tumblr blog. I think it's something or other G 20. And
what they do every day, there must be 20 different articles
about how Russia is just happily doing business with Europe. And
with the United States. We talked about the Goldman Sachs
leaving their $700 million quick little fund for a Gazprom. And
this is it's all posturing. And all I see John, is, is this is
the war is the new economy. We need to have this Cold War. So
we can ramp up military purchasing and spending. I mean,
my goodness, we had
much more can we spend on this crap? Well,
here is, let me
finish this thing. First. I just want to get this last little
piece of propaganda out of the way, which is the French 24. The
clip number three, and this is where they they tried it now
apparently, Putin The thing is over and Putin gave a press
conference and blew out of town. He was always scheduled. They
can't they tell you this, but they don't. They don't present
it properly. They present it as though Putin God, the way it
makes it sound when you hear this clip, Putin got fed up with
all this criticism about him and being snubbed, they wouldn't
shake his hand all over us. And he just left in a huff.
We don't know for sure that he did actually leave too early,
because he was scheduled to fly out to be one of the person to
fly out. But he certainly did give a press conference before
the Australian Prime Minister has has had a chance to release
the communique, which should have been done about half an
hour ago, but obviously has been delayed. And during during that
press conference, people said well, you know, we've had
cooperation here in Australia, but has been difficult in some
areas.
You know, but we had this revelation. Yeah. So obviously
bullcrap. We kind of discovered the simplest way to look at
North Korea and South Korea is make North Korea look like
they're there. They got a wacko whack job with his finger on the
button that they're going to attack. Of course, South Korea
would be the first one to go and with the knowledge that the
United States is moving out of the defense role for South Korea
in 2015. We're selling all this stuff to them a billion dollars
here a billion dollars there, you know, get get a couple
patriots. And that's just ramping up with this Putin
thing. With the knowledge that never too, for instance, Sweden,
there was this big news. Oh, we've got this Russian sub never
found the sub no proof of it whatsoever. What is Sweden
doing? They're increasing their military spending, we need
better submarine tracking equipment. How obvious is that?
Then then we have Hagel. Unfortunately, I haven't been
able to find any video slash audio of it. But he did a
keynote speech at the 2014 Reagan National Defense forum.
And in this keynote speech, some quotes the Department of Defense
is undergoing a defining time of transition. We face a reshaping
of our enterprise by a fiscal environment. This is of course
all about the increases in spending from the so called the
sequestration, plagued by budget uncertainty, and a large decline
in resources and by a historic realignment of interests and
influences around the world, ie Putin. And the here it is, we
face the rise of new technologies, national powers
and non state actors, as well as sophisticated, deadly and often
asymmetric emerging threats ranging from cyber attacks to
transnational criminal networks, and persistent volatile threats
we have faced for years, and his entire speech is about new if we
need Defense Innovation. So the White House on whitehouse.gov
announces push for next generation of high tech weapons.
This is all this in the same day. US Defense Secretary Chuck
Hagel has announced Pentagon will push into cutting edge
technologies developed to develop new weapons, the US will
pursue an ambitious program to identify and develop new weapons
systems based on cutting edge technologies in a bid to
maintain its dominance. It's so obvious, and you and you throw a
couple cyber things in there, which I actually have been I
have a little little cyber segment, which I want to do
after we thank some people. But first, let me play for you.
Cameron's piece of Cameron's speech from the G 20. This is
the Prime Minister of the United States of Gitmo nation East. And
he is going to tell us where Terrorism comes from. Can you
get Do you have any thoughts on the the underpinning reasons the
underlying the basis for terrorism?
Well, it could be from disgruntled subway workers.
Yeah, that's uh, but I'm thinking of a little more bus
breakdown the bus more broadly. So some would say maybe
poverty is one. Fashion
poverty. Yep. poverty. Poverty, poverty is one been
been debunked to snap poverty. Okay, how radical is that's
where most of this is coming from, for from the perspective
of these crackpots.
So, besides poverty, which, by the way, is in poverty is
exactly what I think was Ben Rhodes, the guy who did
counterterrorism for Obama. He wrote this paper, the book and
poverty was one of the main reasons for radicalization. And
the other one is, you know, this is a typical and hey, you're
invading my country. Right? That's sometimes a region that
would be a problem. Yes. Yeah. Like, get the hell out of my
country, man. That's another one. All of these debunked by
Mr. Cameron. And it's very obvious. Yep. We're gonna hear
from him where terrorism really comes from, but as well as well,
is that
can I make one last guess? Okay. Putin?
No, no, you don't get you don't get to win on that. No, no, no.
It's even better. In fact, you'll find that you and I could
actually be to blame for terrorism. If you listen close
off, oh,
but as well as dealing with the consequences of this threat, we
also have to address its root cause root cause. And let us be
frank, it's not poverty,
it's not poverty. Do you have a pen? Okay. Can you cross that
off the list? out and ready? Is that the dependent? I advise you
to purchase? Your own pen? Oh, no,
I forgot to get that pen. Sorry. Okay. So it's not poverty,
though, of course, our nations are united in tackling
deprivation, wherever it exists.
So they were actually not only as a non poverty, we're all over
that. We're on top of the poverty issue.
It's not exclusion from the mainstream.
It's not it's not you're not as not being marginalized, not
excluded from the mainstream. Okay. Of course,
we have more to do but we are both so successful multicultural
democracies, where opportunities abound.
Everything's good, multi CultI everybody's everybody's
involved, hold hands tell secrets Kumbaya, that's not it.
And it's not foreign policy.
It's not
foreign policy. It is not at all going in and grabbing oil and
minerals and kicking Chinese on and been doing, you know, all
whatever it's and you know, working with Saudis, Qatar, it
is not it.
Now I can show you examples all over the world where British aid
and British action have saved millions of Muslim lives,
we've saving Muslim lives. This is what not just America, but
the United States of Gitmo Kingdom, United east, saving
Muslim life. So that's not where it comes from, from Kosovo,
to Syria. But that is not actually the real point. Here it
comes in our democracies, we must never give into the idea
that disagreeing with a foreign policy in any way justifies
terrorist outrages. Now, the root cause of the challenge we
face is the extremist narrative
narratives extremists narrative. It is the narrative of the
extremists.
So we must confront this extremism in audits fall
That's right, podcast, get rid of them. Extremist narrative,
that literally not even me, it means these the speech, the form
of speech, this page that speaks of terrorism,
it's free speech is what they're going after. This is one of our
themes of our we have to talk about this on the Christmas
show. They clamp down on free speech is everywhere.
Yeah, and he says Harris narrative and he said in all its
forms, the all its forms, which is blogging, podcasting. In
fact, I think it should be thinking
well, 1984 was written about the UK.
No kidding. Well, with that, for as long as it lasts, John, I'd
like to thank you for your courage in protecting free
speech and say in the morning to you John C. Dvorak.

you someplace adult this is actually this this is
this is one of those rare occasions even when your
newsletter pretty much spelled it out and just said you know,
this has been one of the worst weeks in in modern history for
the show.
Yes, as a matter of fact, if we go back five years we've we're
doing better on the Sunday shows than then we've been doing and I
think people are just either broke maybe there could be it
could be broke or there although we have a lot of students who
are broke that donate so I don't it's not much of an excuse. And
I don't know why it's just maybe this the doldrums I'm not sure
it could be the news itself maybe we're always making shows
become
depressing. We're always making excuses the dog days of summer
what do you what do you call that in the winter? Exactly.
Well the dog days of summer are actually I'm sorry but the dog
days of summer which really is August this is this little
streak that we're going through here is is an uncommon I don't
remember this last year. I have to look at the numbers I could
be wrong.
There must be something that could just be I don't know. I
don't know. It's possible that people just so depressed
God global warming
Yeah, well and also maybe people are tired of hearing truth
that's fine.
only have a few people who bitch about it. Not many. Most people
think well this is great because I saw I figured this
now I feel better. I feel better about myself and I feel better
knowing what's going on. And also there's I think a lot of
people have become very cynical that they whereas I think if you
listen to us you will we'll make you even more cynical, but at
least we'll give you some punch lines to use around the yeah you
get some the you get the sticker you get some material
to vote.org/and a well
okay if you're not supporting us that way we'd love for you to
support us by going out there and propagating our message is
this we go out we hit people in the mouth
just reading in the chat room some people saying that their
college days were their financial highlights. Well
that's also possible
there's a lot of Yeah. People getting
ripped off we got a new video a new video. New Video new
caliphate beheading video from the is
Oh, yeah, guys beheaded again.
Yeah, and this is Peter Kassig. If it was beheaded, and the
different format for the video and very interesting.
I did probably take it from a different Turkish movie.
It's well actually this one is it's so hilarious. This is now a
16 minute video. I defy you to find a 16 minute video of this
particular ISIS video we will have it in the show notes. Of
course, most of it unusable for the show as it is Arabic with
subtitles, except for and it's really funny. So here's this
guy. It's it looks like and sounds like Jihadi John, as the
guy who our very own administration is saying, Yeah,
we think we've clipped his wings there and that last bomb and Ron
was pretty sure we got him not so sure. And then lo and behold,
we get this video. Now we don't know if it's the same guy
because it's just a guy dressed from head to toe. And I think
it's a new black outfit jump. It's not a not a crease. I mean,
this thing is just brand spanking new. Beautiful. Well,
you I bet you he keeps it hanging while he's in his
underwear. So when he goes out to perform, he doesn't have any
creases. It's an old holiday. It's an old stage trick.
Now in this particular video, with his beautiful white
sneakers, he has what is intended to be Peter castings
head, on already beheaded between his legs on the ground.
I think the adobe after effects are quite good in this one. And
the green screen is now so obvious. It's about 14 minutes
into the video. And again, we'll have it in the show notes. It is
it's just becoming funny. How utterly ridiculous this video
production is. Here's the about a minute of audio that as it
pertains to this so called beheading. We're not even seeing
the beheading. Now, we're just seeing a head, I believe to be
photoshopped into the studio floor. Now with a backdrop that
you can see the edges of this black suit. It's it's green
screen. This is not someone standing in the desert.
This is Peter Edwards classic, a US citizen of your country.
Peter who fought against the Muslims in Iraq, while serving
as a soldier under the American army doesn't have much to say
his previous soulmates have already spoken on his behalf.
But we say to you, Obama, like our chef, Abu Hamad Al Adnani,
said, You claim to have withdrawn from Iraq four years
ago, we said to you then that you will realize that you had
not withdrawn and if you had withdrawn that you would return
even if after some time you would return. Here you are, you
have not withdrawn rather, you hit some of your forces behind
your proxies and withdrawn the rest. Your forces will return
greater in number than they were before you will return and your
proxies will not benefit you. And we also remind you of the
whole thing was that our Sheikh Abu Musab Ahsoka, we told you,
the Spark has been lit here in Iraq, and its heat will continue
to intensify by Allah's permission until it burns a
Crusader army in Durban. And here we are bearing the first
American Crusader in Davao, eagerly waiting for the
remainder of your armies to arrive.
Okay, so what you did not hear because it was only in in Arabic
and subtitled in this 15 or 16 minute video. Here we have a
little translation to Obama, the dog of Rome. Today we are
slaughtering the soldiers of Bashar and tomorrow we will be
slaughtering your soldiers. And with Allah's permission, we will
break this final and Last Crusade and the Islamic State
will soon like your puppet, David Cameron said begin to
slaughter your people on the streets. Now, this translation
and this video in its entirety are only available by
subscription, which is how I receive it through one of our
producers who in this case, I'm not going to name him because I
don't know if he wants everyone to know that he that he's
subscribed to this and he gives these to us. And these and so I
have the high res 250 megabytes of this video mp4. And I'll
upload that everyone can take a look at it. This all comes from
the site Intel group and we've talked about them before we need
to dive in a little bit deeper. Si te the site Intel group is
run by founded by Rita Katz. And Rita Katz is very interesting
and nice caught her on an interview the other day and I
have a clip of that. And I'm not sure how I can forget what she
was on now because I've had it for so long. I had for a week
almost initially she was anonymous in this group. And if
you go to site Intel group.com You'll see that they sell their
their intelligence. And they have if you go to the homepage,
site Intel group.com You'll see that they have Two services. One
is one
on one. How do you spell this? Okay,
s it. Yeah, si te. Debt is an Intel group.com Oh, see,
they have forgot I had dot Kume know that that won't
do it. For individual consumers. They have the jihadist threat
monitoring service or the white supremacist threat monitoring
service. And for government for government and business, they
have the monitoring service enterprise where you can get to
primary source jihadist media and access to all jihadist
videos. It's a bonanza over there.
What does enterprise need this for?
And to protect yourself? I don't know. I don't know. However, I
will tell you a little bit about Rita Katz. Okay, she is reading
from the book of knowledge. Born in Basra in southern Iraq, to a
well to do Iraqi Jewish family. After the Six Day War and
shortly after Saddam Hussein's Baath Party seized power and air
68 Her father was arrested on charges of spying for Israel to
crappy background if you want to be kind of clean on what you're
doing. The family's property was confiscated by the state and the
rest of the family put under house arrest in a stone hut. The
following year after having been tortured Katz's father was
convicted and executed in the public hanging in the central
square of Baghdad to the roaring applause of more than half a
million Iraqis. The government offered free transportation to
people from the provinces and belly dancers performed for the
crowd. Wow, what a party cats his mother man has
like a cheap James Bond script.
Right? And this is the woman who is now helping us catch jihadi.
Do you see that? There's maybe a little conflict here in the
background. That maybe she has an issue with the Arabs
or maybe they'll thing is bullcrap possible.
So she worked for a number of years in 97, she began working
for Middle Eastern Research Institute. And as a result of
her research, she realized that the Holy Land Foundation was a
front group for Hamas. Now this is something we've talked about
on the show. Wanting to examine it more closely. She attended a
fundraiser of theirs dressed as a Muslim woman. You might
remember this soon thereafter, again, disguised as a Muslim
woman wearing a burqa wearing recording equipment. She began
began attending Islamic conferences and fundraisers,
visiting mosques and participating in pro Pilla,
Palestinian rallies in the US as an undercover investigator. So
she's got a bone to pick. And now, of course, she sells her
intelligence to the US government and to the immediate
corporations. And she was interviewed on this program,
about the radicalization of these for Colorado girls, you
remember this from a week or two ago, and they were they went off
they were and they were, they were they caught them luckily
just in time to bring them back because they were all ready to
give themselves to ISIS ISIL the Islamic State and become horrors
of the of the Hadees. And luckily, luckily, Rita Katz
track them down.
Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right
through their social media.
So I figured it'd be interesting to listen to this Rita Katz, and
how she talks. And to have a better idea of the the sole
source I might add. The sole source of every single ISIS
beheading video has come from her organization. And she has
all the high quality stuff this is not the YouTube stuff. This
is a full on mp4 high quality. With great After Effects.
pretty shocking revelations from the online social media profiles
of three Denver girls stopped on their way to join ISIS, the two
sisters and their friend ages just 15 and 17 are now back with
their families in Colorado after authorities intercepted them in
Germany last month. They had stolen money skipped out on
school and intended to cut all ties with their families. You
know, this comes from the terrorist narrative, don't you
John? This is how this always happens with these girls
terrorist narratives and the West read a cat's the director
of SITE Intelligence Group trace the social media footprints of
those
girls and social media footprints write it down, baby
Rita,
I want to talk about the fascinating things that you
found the first just tell us how you did this.
A lot the fork internet searches trying to identify the girls
going through their account. And what is very useful here is our
jihadi database. Oh, the jihadi
database.
Yeah, helps.
Gotta get me one of those. You think that's Oracle, or just
MySQL It has to be maybe it's an Access database, just like
previous Twitter accounts that existed because in this report I
actually described and analyzed the communication that they had
with some ISIS recruiters to other cases of Americans that
were also radicalized, showing that they were actually
following the same ISIS. ISIS counter ISIS handlers.
Okay. Let me just get this straight. She has a database and
in that our Twitter accounts and other social media accounts of
jihadi recruiters prices. And not there's just a Twitter
account. No, it's, it's clearly there are real people behind
this. And these are the handlers, the handlers, I tell
you. So through 140 characters at a time, they're able to
convince people to
come out and really your report focuses specifically on one of
the girls. She went. By the online handle grave, I believe
it is, and you'd watched her attitudes change. What struck
you about the radicalization that you saw?
The interesting information is that you could see how the girls
were transformed from a loving, caring, totally typical American
teenagers, to jihadists who are willing to leave everything
behind, separate from their family forever to the degree
that they lied and stole money.
By the way, this happens all the time. With teenagers. They'll
lie and steal money and get on a bus and goats trying to hook up
with some dude somewhere with a run away from home.
Are you still with me? Uh, yeah, yeah. No, I was who I thought
you got a punch line. Yeah,
I was. Well, I was hoping you would jump in there and say,
Yeah,
well, no, I was the same as alien to me. My kids never did
any of the above. But we've
we've heard, we've heard stories of this. This is not uncommon.
So she spent her valuable time tracking these social media
footprints in order to cut this is CNN, I believe, to go on
national media to tell people how dangerous this is.
We're talking about a girl that a year before that was asked,
what is the thing that you care about most in your life. And she
said, My parents and my family, and it's the same girl that a
year later, was willing to go away, marry an ISIS individual
ISIS fighter, she never met before, and settle in a warzone.
And bringing a new family to the Islamic caliphate that was
announced. I mean, we have to understand that the campaign,
the recruitment campaign online, is very aggressive from ISIS
side, they were able to import the war,
they were able to import the war here comes they were able to
import the war,
from the password protected message boards to the mainstream
media
password protected message boards to the mainstream media,
the social media to and we're simply exposing clutter in the
west and all over the world, to the world. So in this study I
described in her specific case, great, for instance, her online
changes.
So this is a study and I don't have a copy of this yet. And she
still is she's selling a paper, a white paper a study on how
these children are radicalized. This is this is a sales pitch
for her. Okay.
For her one of the Facebook, one of the social media websites
called ask that the same
as.fm is now remember, they were on top of the list of them. When
it first came out the first Snowden revelations, I think so.
That site, you could see the transformation from being a very
innocent American Girl, that, for instance, one of her
questions was, what do you want to be when you grew up? And she
said, and we're talking about only a year ago, she said I want
to be the fashion, fashion business and suddenly asked the
same question a year later. She said, all I'm thinking about is
paradise. And I hope to get married soon. And we're talking
again about a 16 year old girl. Now when we reviewed the social
media accounts of the three girls, three of them had between
7000 to 12,000 tweets. This is a huge number, especially for
individuals that you know, so young That means that they have
to be online for hours. But one,
I think she messed it up here she should have gotten them into
the like 100 Club, as you would have a real opportunity here to
show that that is if once you're in the like 100 club then you
and your your next step is a Syria or Iraq interesting
points that we were able to find here is that they actually
admitted online on her their interviews on their questions.
Great admit that. She said, I live on social media, I'm always
tweeting, and I'm always on YouTube.
And that's really I think that's it spending so much time online,
you can see they just had such a great level of exposure to these
recruiters and they were sort of there to to have that time with
them.
And I would recommend you take a look and it's in the in the in
the show notes. Take a look at this. They have kind of a teaser
of their white paper. It was really good. The female jihadist
living under is this picture here. And it's lady in a full on
burqa. I guess it's a lady full on burqa with a laptop sitting
in some rubble. And I guess that's not proof that you're the
you're tweeting or something. And then like, yeah, yeah, so
I'm just going to say this is a part of this. There's no other
way this is this is propaganda. It's, they're the ones that I
think are producing these videos. She certainly this Rita
cat certainly has the contacts and the means and to do this,
these are high tech, high end production, we knew that we
needed some kind of upgrade, selling paperwork, selling
papers to the government, the all this proof that we need to
ramp up because ISIS is now recruiting our loving teenage
girls who only they only want to be ballet dancers and they want
they love their family and the friends they wanted to go to the
mall. And now they want is, you know, the ultimate sacrifice
marry the jihadist this bullshit.
Well, also the you think this operation was legit? They
wouldn't be going through Domains by proxy.com. Yeah, I
know. I know. Which means you get there's no details on there.
They're, you know, they're covering up who's really running
this operation? Well, she was something called wild, wild west
domains. She was
anonymous and the, you know, the until someone outed her as
running this group. She was anonymous, anonymously running
this thing. So come on. And this is the only source of these
videos the only one
here implying it actually produced the video? Oh, yes, I
am. Yes, I'm implying that Yes. I am not afraid. Yeah, I'm
totally implying that absolutely.
Yeah, that's what I that's what I'm thinking. If this the only
place videos crop up, they plant them all over the place.
And then they take them, then they take them down to his
voice, and they got little edits everywhere. So you can only see
one minute or 30 seconds and you're not gonna see the whole
thing. This it's totally bogus. By the way, you're cutting up
real bad. Am I the same on your end?
Yeah, you suck.
I was gonna say, Maybe we should reconnect and try something. But
if you don't if you don't want to try that?
Well, if you want to, we could let's do it. I'm going to do it
right now. Okay.
as well. It's worth a try. Because it's so hard to have a
conversation when it's just me go you there.
Yeah, wow, this is great. It'll get it'll pick up. And while
we're in the topic of all this sort of thing, I've been trying
to get this clip. This is a report a report of the clip. But
this is a clip, there's got to be hilarious if you could
actually find it. And this has to do with ISIS and its Dempsey
versus the midgets.
I read about this. I'm glad you got to talk about news now and
do us this top soldier General Martin Dempsey has told us
troops in Iraq, the momentum is turning against Islamic State
militants and a surprise visit to Baghdad, the general said the
militants were not a force of 10 foot tall fighters, but were
instead a bunch of images running around with a really
radical ideology.
Yeah, you know. This is the pot calling. Really Dempsey?
I don't know how tall is you don't know that Dempsey? Short.
He's short. Come on. He's a leprechaun.
He looks short. I know. We all see him as short. But what if
you find these six two? Well, I'm
going to look right now. So I was also thinking, This cat's
woman's probably not very tall, Dempsey. I know she seems like a
but but yeah, I'm gonna say he's, well, this is it shouldn't
be on the Wikipedia. No, no. Well, we know it's not on the
Wikipedia And what is
that? I want to do a search? How tall all is what's the Dempsey's
first name? Martin. Mark. Exactly. Martin Demps. See?
Martin Dempsey,
this is something the chat room could actually help us with with
a with a crowd. A crowd sourced search.
Yeah, I there's no I'm not seeing any it's not Wikipedia.
It's not in that little summary you get from Google.
And she, I but we'll probably be able to find someone you know,
it's next to him so we'll get an idea. The mo
that he might be worrying lifts
Well, I will read a read retell my story of Michael Jackson when
I was going to award him with the video vanguard of the of the
decade Award, which forever was to be now named the Michael
Jackson video Vanguard Award. And we're starting the the
ceremony there in a studio in Los Angeles, and all of a
sudden, he stopped me. He had his guy come over, whisper in
his ear. Guy came and came back with a crate. And he had said,
so he was standing on
accrual at Apple Apple credit. Yeah. How big the full one?
Yeah. Well, he
was he put it on the side, though. So it was probably about
three quarter apple crate. And Michael Jackson, not really
post by the way. That's what you're supposed to do. When
people out there and you're watching TV and you got some
midget standing next to some guy who's tall. It's because they're
not doing their job. He's supposed to put the midget on a
crate on an Apple Cray or whatever they call it. Yeah, but
they're usually painted black so you can't see them. And you can
have half a one a quarter one and a full one. And they should
get up here too. But I think they're four inches. who raises
you four inches.
Yeah, that was about it. Michael Jackson, I got a short guy. If
you Google Adam curry, Michael Jackson, you can see the
picture. It's on the on the interwebs. And you'll see that
he's standing next to me. He's almost as tall as I am. And
there's a Christmas tree growing out of the back of my head. One
of those great MTV is shot
and tastic shot. Now here's a picture of Dempsey shaking hands
with somebody on this most recent trip to Iraq and Dempsey
is at least two inches taller than this guy. Oh, my goodness.
Okay. He actually looks kind of big. Oh, boy. It looks kind of
big.
Yeah, I'm seeing it too. Well,
I mean, he's not even standing up straight Mahler. Well, here's
what we need to do. How about Obama? Dempsey? Picture.
There we go. Obama's what? 6364 I think he's 662. Think he's
six? No, no, he's taller than that. He's at least see. And by
the way, did you notice the Attorney General's another Torp
shrimp.
That's what we do best. That by the way is the that's not the
first thing most people said about the new Attorney General
John.
Would that she's Torp.
Shrimp. No, that's not the test. Certainly she's Yes. She's
five foot. It's a miracle.
So I think Dempsey is probably I'm looking at him and Obama.
I'd say it's it's I need a full on shot. And if he's six two,
okay, this is a good one. I got this. I think Obama is 620
Here's a good one. Yeah, six two, he's a good
Obama is. Now these are at least six foot and these because
here's Obama walking down the aisle with Dempsey, some other
guy and Obama's in the middle, and their front feet are all
pretty much the same spot. And Dempsey's only damn top of
Dempsey's heads comes to Obama's eyeline. Yeah, okay, so that
would mean the size of Obama's forehead which I believe I think
he's six four maybe it's gone I think it makes Dempsey six foot
six when he then he's allowed to talk about midgets I guess
that's okay
he is the shortage now he there's Dempsey standing next to
the Navy guy and that marine guy or the I don't know who he is
big that's a big guy though. Yeah,
now he's not as he's not as leprechaun he as I thought
he is. Okay 511 I
finally I would say that's that's close enough. Anyway
on only this village, but it was which feels wonderful getting no
donations.
More in the in the caliphate. By now you've probably seen the a
lot of people have run this. The Wag the Dog foot edge of the
brave Syrian boy running to rescue the girl which turned out
to be completely put set in scene by some Norwegian
filmmakers you saw this? Yes, I did, which of course was
propagated by the sham network and the Al Sham network and was
seen the world over the video itself millions and millions of
views. This is completely wag the dog. And this isn't more
than likely not the only one of this. I'm sure there's bad
things happening. There's no doubt there. But we're just
really not seeing any of the real. Anything that that seems
real at all, and certainly not these beheading videos. And then
a message I think I got this from the BBC, we've been ever
since General Wesley Clark said that he felt Saudi Arabia may be
up next. As a part of the translation of of this, of this
video sites are clearly set on Saudi Arabia by Islamic State.
That may be the whole point of the whole thing.
What my what would it? Okay, let's, if we try and deconstruct
that, if the whole point is to realize Saudi Arabia?
Well, yeah, that would be a start. Okay. I mean, the Saudis
have a problem anyway, because they have to create this
Wahhabist state church, all practical purposes, and it's
kind of one of the Salafist radicals, aisles of Islam that
believes that you can have pictures on the wall, and all
these sorts of things. And they, you know, you can't you can't
have photos, it's, it's just a, it's, it's what we first heard
of the officer, the first group we heard of after 911, even
though it's a broader range of people, and it was never
mentioned that the Osama bin Laden, for example, is a Sufi,
who will harvest hate, there's a lot of confusion regarding this,
but but if the if those guys were cut loose, they would take
down the royal family, even though the royal family has been
funding them in most of the mosques that are created by
Saudi money, which many in the United States are all promoting,
they will harvest vision of the world, and which is saddled with
the Saudis feel that it becomes like a buffer state around so
the royal family is buffered by this surrounding the hobbyist
community, and so they feel protected. But if you have the
ISIS guys rolling in there, this could be interesting. But then
again, the Saudis got a huge army
and from Okay, and from lots of weapons, and how about from a
resource perspective we know already that they're the ones
that are manipulating the price of oil down which is very
advantageous for for us but there is a point where that
doesn't really work well for everybody. The end do we just
want to
take the ones who are taking the shorts or the Russians
right so ultimately, it seems that
right we're gonna stick with that theory. So if they're if
they're rapidly dropping oils to screw the Russians like Reagan
did, we would be inclined to help the Saudis we would like
them to do this sort of thing right. So why what what scenario
Why is it in our interest that the Saudi the Saudi Arabian
Peninsula, get rubber lice? Well,
this is this is my question. I don't understand.
It's a lot of work and they're already got the whole thing run
and fine, right. Right. But then No, no, no, no reason to do it.
Then why would we have Okay, yeah, there's no reason then but
still they want to push is in there. ISIS? I find it I find
complicated,
maybe just to teach him a lesson.
Cyber for a moment, John, we got a lot of cyber news going on.
Unless you want to take us somewhere else with some other
anyone
I do have? Well, we can take take ourselves through a pre
break here with a kind of an ask Adam.
Okay, basic kind of or is it really I mean, that's always
it's a
it's a it's not a kind of normal ask Adam. It's a little
different. As Adam. All right.
Okay, I got a Banchi musos Bonnie mood test for Adams.
You're the one that brought this up. You're not going
to ask me to tell you what he's saying. Are
you Yes, exactly. You got it. Okay. Tell me what he said.
I gotta put my head into the right space here. Okay. All
right. All right. I'm ready. Here we go.
I encourage the leaders of Myanmar to uphold human rights.
I take
I encouraged the leaders of Myanmar to uphold human rights,
a strong stance against incitement,
take a strong stance against the excitement or incitement and
ensure humanitarian access to Rohingya leaving in vulnerable
condition.
Yes, we have a Burberry condition is very cold.
This is a got a pretty well set to the end. Yeah, this is about
Burma, which by the way, Uncle Don consistently called says
Burma. He refuses to say Myanmar. There's some paper
again. Yes. And we did I have it here. This is under the Freedom
and Democracy heading in, in the show notes. So the President had
our President Obama had a press conference with Aung San su Kyi.
And we have a fact sheet from the White House. We I do like
the the openness Not that anyone reads this except me. I think I
don't know who else reads this stuff. The fact sheet US
assistance to Burma. Now we know that the Chinese are all over
Burma. There's a pipeline that runs right through that area,
which they're trying to take over blow up get rid of when we
have now proclaimed assistance, which reflects the US
government's goal of supporting Burma's democratic and economic
transition, economic hitman. Since 2012, the US government
has provided over $225 million in assistance to Burma, what
does that drop in the bucket? What we're doing 2030 times that
for stupid Ebola. And fiscal year 2014, United States
provided over 150 million that must just be pay off the so on
they can't what can you do with $150 million?
Nothing, that the way they spend money, you can maybe rent a car.
This is nothing. Let's see. Let's see. Democratic. What is
it national reconciliation. So our assistance builds networks
of cooperation, understanding Oh, NGOs with Burma's diverse
citizenry and strengthens processes for peace and national
reconciliation. Oh, here it is. US funded programs, John have
increased the conflict mitigation capacity with 35
local partners. NGO funding ladies and gentlemen, democratic
institutions is number two on the list. US assistance builds
the capacity of democratic institutions, NGOs. In the last
year, the US government provided assistance to over 300 civil
society organizations throughout the country. A free freedom and
democracy coming your way. Burma. Good luck. How disgusting
is that? And why are we in Burma with a with an NGO?
Why are aren't we you and me? Yeah, we're
getting some of that money. Uncle Don lived in Burma too.
For a while it's in his book, pot yard love to ask. So you
read the whole book? Of course. I did. Maybe read the whole
book. Yeah, absolutely. I haven't gotten through it. US
assistant provide clinical services. US funded programs
have reached over 20,000 individuals for HIV emergency
food assistance, Peace Corps, regional cooperation. Yeah, I'd
say this is a lot of economic pre economic hitman stuff then
really seems almost like a waste other than some posturing for a
measly $400 million for the President to go show up for some
press conference. But okay.
Yeah, let's take them out. Her. Well, all of them.
It's a breakup Yeah. To her. Okay, then I think we should.
I'm gonna show my mood by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
we do have a few people to thank for show
670 Monday. Nice connection by the way is lovely now.

normal. Start the show over ready. Okay,

Zapopan, Jalisco Mexico. Thank you for your courage one of the
two people from Mexico listens to the show here it was my
second donation is a small token of appreciation. You want some
karma house bank current put that at the end. We were short
we information from us says are also by the way, we did get a
couple of one note from One of our contacts down there who says
that something's going on right now? Yeah. And that is needed
some discussion because according to everyone, we're the
only ones who've ever mentioned what's going on in Mexico. The
mainstream media doesn't want to discuss it. Because right on our
southern border, so we're apparently more concerned about
what's going on in the middle of nowhere have gone away and the
other side of the globe in what's going on south of, you
know, Austin,
also, but also a couple of notes received from Mexican producers.
Pretty much every single one of them says, yeah, it's not good
here. It's, there's not going to be any coup, the military and
the politicians are all playing together. And it's a mess. Yeah,
not much. Not anymore. The orders here's the problem. It's
a mess, and they don't have the Kardashians are Real Housewives
of Orange County. That's the only difference.

I would just like to remind people who listen to this
program perhaps the newer listeners that the way we
finance our operation is through pure donations from the
producers and we don't call you listeners we call you producers.
You're not the product. We're not trying to sell you anything.
We're working on your behalf. We work with you. You work with us.
This has been going for seven years. We're on a, this is a
dip. But we're still probably at about 1% of all people who
listen to the program and produce it who actually supply
us with financing. And we need people to step up. It doesn't
take a lot. It's not like, I'd love when people say, oh, you
know, I can't afford a $5 a month seriously. Okay, you can't
afford $5 a month. Okay. Well, you may recall that. I said to
John, I said in the last show, I said, I have a business idea.
And for the first time in seven years, we will remember to talk
about it. It's not a bad idea after the show. And we're going
to have to do this as a backup in I'm not saying that people.
Maybe it's just broke, whatever it is fine. Maybe you don't like
our show. It's also possible. I don't know. That's, that's
another way of expressing it. I just think people are not
participating. They're easy. They're complicit. It's like,
Oh, crap, whatever. I don't have to do that. Yes, you do. Yes,
you do. If we've entertained you for the past? Well, if we wasn't
no, it's almost three hours every single episode. If we
entertain you, please, you have to support us. We will have to
find other things to do at this point. And I really, would I
really wanted to plan the trip to Australia. For the hot
pockets to him. Yeah, that'd be great. I think you'd be long in
Australia. Yeah. But I don't think it's going to happen at
these levels of support. No, no, that was not going to happen. We
do have
a couple of things we want to throw out there. Let's get it. I
need a de douching for Thomas Butterick.
Okay, and by the way, for the question in the chat room. Yes,
this is also entertainment. The whole idea is to give you news,
and to give you something to laugh about it. So it's it's not
as entertaining. It is healthy for you. All right, what is the
deducing John
Thomas Butterick he
Okay, and then there was a guy who's, I can't read up on the
email at the end, we're gonna give the massive job karma. And
I just want to mention Chris Perry's name because he's gonna
get part of this job, karma. Okay, who sent us a note that he
was screwed by Maryland, state of Maryland in some way. They
talked him into taking a better paying job than fired him. No.
Okay, so he wants a job. Carm a couple other comments we had in
there. So let's jobs,
jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
You've got karma.
I look at myself like I woke up at three. For two hours. I'm
trying to investigate United Nations and how they're screwing
people and dividing nations. And then I'm disappointed. Get this.
What am I doing? Why am I doing this? I got a hot wife. I should
be doing other things with my time. You I don't know. I mean,
you got nothing better to do maybe.
Now I got nothing better to do. This is pretty much all I have
to do on a Sunday.
Are you going to twit today?
No, no, I'm gonna probably go next month sometime. Yeah,
maybe in 2015. If you're lucky, and they'll let you back on
again. That's possible. All right. Please
do evora.org/and
So we had a little bit of confusion, but I'll just do it
just in case or Shane Peden says Happy Birthday to his daughter
laning who turned six I believe that was on Thursday. And I will
say happy birthday to my dad Jay curry turned 75 Today happy
birthday from all your friends who had the best podcast in the
universe. Not that he's listening to the show.

a earphone she listens all the time. Unless she's doing
pictures of naked the girls with Serge Jean.
Yeah, well, yeah. Genes the guy but then
she downloads it and she listened to it on the plane and
she listened. The only person who besides what you and I don't
really talk about the show.
No, no, no reason to we already did the shows we do a little
post mortem. Yeah, just a quick one. We have a grouse.
It's never like, hey, great job. Now like I used to post motors
or four. Yeah, it's more than the word. The mortem words.
Yeah, yeah, it'd be. It'd be the kicker right there. Okay, we

Canberra both of you knights of the nogen round table for you,
gentlemen. Hey Tom hookers and blow take one for me my friend.
We got a porn stars and pot, whiskey and wet wipes, cannabis
and Cabernet geishas and sakeI bong hits and bourbon and mutton
in Mead. And I would like to make sure that we send Tom's
ring to Angela.
And, Angela, if you're listening, go to
listening. She's in the chat rooms not only listening, but
she's in the chat. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely. And so this
this knighthood for Tom posthumously was presented by a
number of producers, including an anonymous bear. And of
course, today we also had Sir David Foley, Grand Duke of the
United States check in and complete the knighthood.
Beautiful.
Very nice. Close the circle as it were,
I like that. It's really nice. Really, really nice. Okay, how
are we doing? This had been a strange show.
12 hours because we have issues. Well,
every show we have issues now. We got issues. All right, the
cyber.
Let me get a little side stuff out of the way. Okay. Good.
Local that. By the way, I do have something if we if we want
to. Okay, I'm going to keep this you know, your you can just keep
this and we can do it anytime you feel like okay, but I have
the I was listening to O'Reilly and he brought on
Oh, this is because you don't have CNN. This is why you're
watching Fox. Yeah, you gotta do it.
But he brought Oh, Neil on the guy who shot bin Laden.
Oh, this is the other guy who says he shop in LA. Yeah, the
other guy who shot bin Laden? Yeah,
there's a couple guys who did this. Yeah,
you know, it's a free for all.
But who throw him in the ocean.
I have a very long clip that has the entire width because our
Riley guiding him the entire walkthrough. That seems like a
lot of discrepant and questionable information that it
would be worth just going through listing a little bit
talking about it listening a little bit to see what what
because I'd like to get your take on it. Maybe we could even
do it in a future show after you listen to this because this is a
very questionable description count
account account. That's
the word I was looking for. It is a very questionable account,
and it doesn't seem to make necessarily make sense. Okay, so
what I thought was interesting is he shot oh, it says he shot
oh Sama, Cara Weiss the head. And then after he dropped after
being shot, too, I gave him the old double tap. Shot him when he
was down in the head. And
and so the significance of this is only because there's two
competing books, and they're both trying to compete for the
screenplay for the movie, or what do you think this is?
I think it might be that there's probably some movie rights
involved. I know that this happens a lot. We do
it does. Why does anybody care? A guy who was already dead in
2001. In fact, I believe the Fox News Channel themselves reported
that he died of dialysis of kidney failure in 2001. We have
no pictures of this. I just gotta remind everybody, because
it's so easy. This drives me crazy when these things are
discussed. And we overlook this. Oh, we threw him in the ocean
because you know, we didn't want the Muslims to get angry. Hey,
how'd that work out? Muslims are angry.
They're not. They're never be angry again. Yeah.
And I've been with that we can show you the pictures that will
be too horrific. And we haven't shown us
the pictures of dead kids in Gaza. Right? I mean, that's the
whole thing. This these excuses are all self contradictory.
Okay, I'll give it a try, though. I
mean, I'm gonna have to do it. Now. You can do you can do it.
And next show. I don't care personally. It's long. But if
you want to listen to it just may I think it'll make you know
what, that's what I was wondering how you'd feel about
this, about this description as it rolls along?
Well, well, I'm okay. I'm definitely in for trying new
things. All right. Well, let's give
this a shot.
The downside is that Rear Admiral Brian Lozi, commander of
the seals has strongly criticized Mr. O'Neill saying he
violated seal protocol about talking about the operation that
he should not have done that. Here now is Robert O'Neill.
First of all, why did you go public? You knew what the
protocol was. You knew the admiral is saying we had a
tradition. We don't talk about it. You knew all that. Why did
you go public?
I wasn't planning on going public with this until this
summer, when I went to the 911 Memorial with the intention of
donating a piece of I want to donate my shirt and the flag
that I wore on my shirt into the room where Osama bin Laden was
living. While I was there, I was sort of on a stage to give an
impromptu talk. I started to talk to them. Okay, okay.
He was sort of on a stage for an impromptu talk. And
the other thing is what does he say when he says he's wants to
donate his shirt and his flag, which is the sewn on thing to
the room that Obama was in? They take Sama,
Osama Osama. Rather,
I mean, everybody does it. I don't I do that. But I was
shocked when they use the room. Did they take the room out of
Pakistan and move it to a museum or something?
I think they may have it may be in the George Bush museum. I
know it wouldn't be won't be the president. But you know, I don't
know. But I have no idea and, and first of all protocol, and
why we're neither of these guys on the helicopter,
they get shot down. Well, the you know, that story has been,
seems to know, whatever those guys I mean, that whole
helicopter story was it came and went. And now certainly no,
there was no helicopter. Nobody was in that helicopter story
still is annoying. Yeah.
As I was talking, I was looking at the the audience, no dries in
the room. One woman in particular told me I didn't
close the chapter. And the worst thing that's ever happened, I
closed the entire book. And she was not afraid anymore. Right.
So
you believe by coming forward, that the pain experienced by the
people who lost loved ones on 911. And the entire country
would be assuaged a little bit. Because, you know, Stop.
Show me the picture of the guys blowed up head or show me the
picture of you throwing them in the ocean. Show me something
other than two guys competing with a book deal. Sorry, and the
O'Reilly screw you too?
Could tell. By the way, if you listen to this carefully, I want
to see if you can find it. I mean, I it's it's easy to spot
on the television. But there's a huge massive cut where they cut
out a couple of I heard a couple edits. Oh, there's probably just
been edited down. But there's one spot where it's just like,
wow, what the heck was in there? But anyway, onward. Hold
on a second. Is it not that the Osama room is in the 911?
Museum? How sick are we? How sick are we here and is sick
museum unveils exhibit exploring raid. Oh, I'm getting sick of
this. If I'm looking now. Oh, a new exhibit includes this
uniform and shirt from a Navy SEAL Team Six member Oh, there
you go. The 911 Memorial Museum is open the new exhibit focusing
on the search for the ultimate killing of Osama bin Laden. You
know, I can't listen to this. I'm sorry. I'm gonna think I'm
gonna get very mad. A coin donated by a CIA operative CIA
operative who pursued him and a brick from Bin Laden's compound
in Pakistan. As is this what we've come to in America, break
gears. It's the brick house everybody. There's a brick. And
we put it in the museum. And so we go to mourn. It's very
postmodern. I mean, the first ideas of this was the deaf guy
was in a toilet or something like that. I think it was in the
50s 60s. But the idea is you take just some piece of crap and
you put a frame around it now is art. Anything a dog turd, you
know, the duck whistle duck call.
The great thing to break from Bin Laden's compound in Pakistan
has been at the 911. museum since May. The exhibition
contains photographs as well, including one of President
Barack Obama and members of the national security team in White
House Situation Room on May 1.
But that's the picture with Hillary. Yeah. Let me see what
else now here's the question I have. It seems to me that
they're not taking advantage. I mean, the US Mint and this and
the post office know how to do this. Yeah. Why didn't they tear
down that whole thing? Take all the bricks like the Berlin Wall,
take the bricks, right and sell P every brick for 1000 bucks.
They would have sold out in bricks. I don't you know, I
wouldn't but I think a lot of people would have bought them.
You know, it was a brick from Osama's compound I think people
you know a lot of business men Silicon Valley types, people who
buy you know, Bill Gates has a huge piece of the Berlin Wall at
both the campus and Microsoft. The I think it is a money making
opportunity they just passed on. And this we don't know where
this brick came from,
as a as a citizenry. And this is global. This is not particular
to America. It's the same in the Netherlands, where you have a
plane full of Dutch people shot down, there's no answer. There's
no black not even a black box as some bullcrap. Report
preliminary report. We have not we have we put CNN does a live
procession of body parts and coffins. Everybody's Hall is a
day of mourning, then we do another we just had recited
another day of mourning. Oh, and we have beautiful talks by our
ministers. And meanwhile, the whole everyone's psyche shuts
down and we accept these little trivial tokens of bullshit that
are supposed to make you feel better about the travesty that
took place which had which was really value the lives of these
people at lower than WhaleShip. And it's exact same thing with
this. No, oh, yeah. And, and we have this memorial and We have
this, this this building, I look at this building and it
represents strange things to me. And now we have this memorial
put a brick in there and a flag and we'll we'll we'll have
militarized opening ceremonies for every football game. We're
pathetic that we allow this to happen. It really it truly is
sad that we take these little trinkets and little tokens as
that we should accept as of this will close the book on the
grieving. It's pathetic. No one stands up anymore. And just this
is do they even? We do do well, but we're older. Do they even
teach kids about the emperor's new clothes in class? Or is this
book ever read anymore? Shut down. I doubt it to someone just
needs to stand up and say, Oh, I'm sorry. This is utter bull
crap. This is really really unacceptable bullcrap that is
taking place here.
We have some kids that listen to our show that do that and
they're in high school. Detention.
I was gonna say to get shut down. Hey, that troublemaker
that kid clearly is on the spectrum. The Autism Spectrum
needs help. Yeah, I will listen to this. Give him some. Would
you mind if I'm just gonna get very angry? I don't think it's
helpful for me
to tell you what. I knew you wouldn't get through it. But I
tell you what, let's go one more little thing where it really
irks you just shut it down now. Okay.
All right. Just keep going from here. Yeah, look,
we got done. Look, we got we got the guy behind us. That's
essentially that's essentially 90 minutes in the helicopter.
You go from Afghanistan into Pakistan, you know, as you go in
there for you land in a
compound and then the helicopter crash
lodges compound. Get off the helicopter, you go in the
competence for getting the whole crash part. What happened to
that thing you saw?
Well, the first thing I saw on the compound was looking up at
the actual house that I've been studying for so long. And the
first thought was, Wow, this is some Navy SEAL stuff. This is so
cool that I'm here.
Okay, done. This is this is the way people talk about that.
Landing on the meteorite. You see, this is the fantasy that we
play.
You know that comment?
The comment? I'm sorry. Oh, this is so cool. We're landing Oh,
good. I'm so cool. This is mankind. We're advancing
science.
Alright, so you were prepared to go in because you had done so
much research but when you get in the door what's the first
thing you
first thing I saw was a long hallway with doors on either
side leading to rooms and then I at the end of the hallway was
another door that two
items asteroid actually it was an asteroid John and a comets.
No they died on a comet asteroid.
was a comment. Yes sure was a comment.
Yes I'm gonna yes or
no not gonna play any comment.
My fellow teammates were using methods of entry to try to
breach the door
Did you hear anything methods of entry? What does that mean?
I'm stopping this I can't do it. I can't do it.
methods of entry okay, you can stop it it's why
I don't understand the point of them.
I'd like you to listen to it though. I will No no no, I will.
I will because there's probably still think there's something in
here that you would find that I didn't find. That's why I want
you to listen to it
the whole thing Yeah, that I hate the whole thing. I think I
would like proof that the guy is dead I'd like I think we can
handle as a society. We can handle some photos of something
that really looks like the guy I think we can handle the video
the helmet cam I think we can handle it. I think we're I think
we've grown up enough I think you can do this now. I'm seeing
commercials for a call of duty now on PlayStation there's 40
gruesome there's more action in the commercials for Call of Duty
and Playstation and I'm ever gonna get about this whole this
whole episode.
I want to divert you now to play the update of the comet lander.
So we know that you know the thing about this comment thing I
want to you haven't touched on this this thing even though it
started 10 years ago and they're so proud of themselves
essentially the thing is a fail Yeah,
you know I'm so sad that you can't be on twit today because
this would be at this is exactly what we need to be. This is what
we need to say.
From what we know the lander descended as planned to the
surface of the comment is obviously settled because signal
sent back to Earth confirmed that but for some reason the
harpoons meant to hold the spacecraft down, did not fire
and there's so little gravity, the lander needs to be anchored,
so it drifted up and away from its original landing zone into
terrain. That seems to be far more risky. Here at mission
control, they face a really awkward choice. They could try
to spring the land of free from its tight spot and move it to a
better place. But that would risk damaging it or worse just
flinging it off into deep space
okay, I've I did some research on that
thing bounced around and fell into a hole or something and
there's no light so the the batteries are gonna go dead and
they don't know what to do. And meanwhile this is like this it's
a fail that all they had to do these these, it had these legs
it had these, I guess harpoons.
I've heard harpoons I've heard screws I've heard where they
didn't work? Well, I was mainly interested in the transmitter
portion. And it remind you this is technology from 10 years ago.
And I really wanted to understand how there were
sending these high definition images back down to earth. Yes,
there are s band transmitters, and they are actually quite high
capacity, even with, I think this thing is doing one or maybe
two watts. And you need a really big, you know, a sizable dish.
And it has, you know, there's a lot of interesting to me, this
part of the exercise. And then you can send you can send like a
gigabyte in, in a couple of minutes of data. But this is 10
year old technology. The size and weight ratio seems
challenging at best. And really the battery technology is what
has me troubled most about all of this. Because, you know, I'm
skeptical enough to say Yeah, great. Okay, you know, I see a
shot of a rock. Man, I've seen lots of animations. And if
anything, shame on the American space industry that the ASA the
European Space Agency did this. Well, we got shipped blowing up.
Shame on us. Shame on us if this is really all true. And then,
okay, now what? We got some pictures, all I see is that
we're distracting everybody now with this poor guy who wore a
shirt with some chicks on it. Who's been shamed into being a
misogynistic aihole Very sad story.
I don't know anything about this?
Yeah, yeah. One of the lead scientists, these are Europeans,
you know, so they he was wearing a shirt with the with like, kind
of like a tattoo, modern kind of tie dye type thing. If you
search it, you'll find that it'll be the top story because
that's all we're talking about now. And some female journalists
were interviewing him and they were really upset about his
misogynistic shirt. And now the guy's breaking down he's having
a nervous breakdown because people hate him
hmm never heard that. Animate payments I haven't followed I
mean, just been following the disaster part of it. I haven't
followed the human interest crapola with a guy wearing a t
shirt but
that seems to be the only thing we have left to talk about. And
did you see that room of 150 people all dressed up in suits
and with pearls and clapping when this thing landed? And okay
but yeah, why? So what worked and what didn't do we do we did
this thing work. What are these pictures we got from the whole
next week got some pictures that from the other device that
dropped a lander and of the thing going down and a picture
of the common nice pictures of the comet from up above. And
then we have some Supposedly there's some pictures of the
comet from ground level when it first landed. But then and now
it's been bouncing around this comments tumbling by the way,
he's got very little gravity, right. And so as tumbling
around, it threw this thing into a hole so it's not even on his
feet anymore. It's apparently a sideways sitting sideways. And
there's cameras all around it. So I guess they found one or two
cameras that still could take a picture of something. And but
it's in the dark. And so the batteries are going to drop dead
and it's probably by this time next by our next show. This
thing will probably be dead in the water.
Already. Science. Exactly.
Beautiful science. And we get so impressed by these things.
Yeah, it's an exercise and stuff. I get what else have I
got here?
I will. Yeah, it's an exercise. I thought the transmission part
was interesting, but I'm also a bit troubled by the ease I'm
just I like like investigating these things. And yeah, you
think half of this stuff is total horseshit. Yeah,
absolutely. And some of it is I'm sure now let Can I play one
thing is off the wall anything you want. I have a clip from
Glenn Beck who has been pulling an interesting he's apparently
dying or something and he's having all kinds of tears in his
eyes he's crying on the air he's doing all this stuff because we
know that he's done this in the past cried on the air. But you
know, you can do it JC was watching this with me and
watching the crying part. And Beckett's pulls the tear out of
one eye but not the other. You know and actors you know a lot
of Some actors and actresses, if you're taking a lot of this
stuff, especially if you started in high school, you can cry on
demand. Yeah. And but it's not
that Nikki can do that. It's astonishing to see her do that.
Yeah, yes. It's
fun to watch. No, it's
It's actually troubling because it's troubling.
But you do a lot of actresses can do it. And a lot of them
can't. So they have to use glisser in and they do all these
things because they can't do it on computers. She just
looks at the credit card statement. She's like, what, who
did I marry? He's crying like he's got no money. Yeah.
And then there's some people that can only cry out. I love
you. But no, anyway, Glenn Beck does have the one I think I want
to make sure
that sounded right. I want to make sure that didn't sound like
she's only with me for the money. We all know it's for the
sex
part and risk information at one 807
backup bag. Let me finish. Let me finish setting sorry, I'm
sorry. I believe there is some form of debt. He's doing some
form of neuro linguistic programming. Oh, he does this a
lot. Yes, but this one here is done is one of his one of his
assistants, or one of his other guys. And I want you to play
this right from you know, as soon as I stop, and tell me what
you think of what you're going to hear
pardon risk information at one 800 757 gold or gold line.com.
You want to know what's just about as valuable as gold is
information. And that's what our new sponsor disco ball is all
about. Our new sponsor up here on the left is private. And let
me ask you a question. Do you believe first of all that our
government when they tell you they're not listening to your
phone calls? They're not storing them? They're they're not
reading your texts? Can you believe them when they say
they're not doing any of that? Because
Wait a minute. What is this? But what is this?
Did you hear? Yeah. What What was it?
Well, first, I hauled I heard a pitch for gold.
That was the end of Beck's pitch. And they go to pitch man
number two,
and then it was a pitch for information is like gold. And
then there was something sitting up in the ceiling which was his
new which is like was that a listening device? Or what was
it? I don't understand?
Well, if you listen to it, I did it. This is for a company called
privacy alert or something like this PR Yeah. But what why does
he dropped the word disco ball in the middle of this of his
pitch?
Not what I thought that the product was called
disco ball. No, it's not called disco ball.
What it doesn't look like a disco ball. Oh.
What? What? And he's talking away and a disco ball comes down
throws a bunch of light on the set. He says disco ball. And
then he goes on with the pitch.
Oh, I know what this is. Yeah, that's totally whenever you see
a disco ball, you're gonna think of this product.
Oh, that's interesting.
I can tell you after seven years if I belt which I won't do, but
even people who I've programmed with this belch think Senseo
coffee because I programmed them with this seven years ago. To
trigger word it's very easy to do. In fact, the here's an
here's I think we've done this on our show. You're driving in
the car right now you're looking around and here's what's going
to happen. We'll get you invariably certainly in America
but in other countries well, you'll you'll come to a stop
sign. We all know what the stop sign looks like. It's it's it's
six sides, the stalks the 60s six sided stop sign. You see the
stop sign? You stop and you think I need to donate to the no
agenda show. Done
that's how it's been. You mean by telling people that when they
see a stop sign they will think oh I need today? I think I've
got to donate to the no agenda. So just by telling them that
that's
work that's all it takes. There's other ways we do it.
To vorak.org/and Ay
ay ay I even get that thing stuck on my head sometimes.
Yeah, do you ever get that we're walking around the house and did
you oh my god, I have to turn on the radio or something cuz on my
head.
It was a disco ball.
I think the stop sign is eight sides isn't October 12345678?
Yeah.
Okay, so now people are gonna think Curry's an idiot and they
won't donate so I've screwed it up already.
Know the thinker is an idiot and they will donate his but it'll
be triggered by Kurt or he's an idiot. Okay, I have gonna go to
the stop sign again. Look at his job Wait a minute 123456788
Don't count the corners
John don't get your hopes up. Just don't get your hopes up.
Anyway disco ball disco ball well we'll just keep saying
disco you know what Hey, when you hear or see disco ball think
about donated screw GIMP Glenn.
Glenn black. Again black anyway.
All right, these Feinstein Chambliss, cyber bill is back,
though. Good. Yeah. And it's being pushed very hard by Jim
Langer. What's his name? langerman. Jet Lang Levin and
you see what his name is? Lang given Lang given he's a he's a
Democratic Party member for Rhode Island to the smallest
state in the union. All those
Rhode Island guys, that's where that's where White House comes
from that guy. Yes. And
he is on. Is he on with is this with broth? Maybe he's on with
Richard Clark. Actually, Richard Clark now throwing on huge
amount of FUD, fear, uncertainty and doubt. And remember, this is
the fine.
This is the fun Richard Clarke bill. Yes.
And it's it is the well, specifically it is the cyber
shearing bill. And this is the one that I think is very
dangerous, we need to be very aware of what is happening here.
This would indemnify commercial or corporate entities from
sharing information they believe is important with the government
and vice versa. The government sharing information with them
which they will be indemnified from, you know, the they can
just be a deputy, they get a little star, he looks Sheriff
star. And this is supposed to keep us safe from the
sophisticated cyber attackers, who are you know, this is this
is part of the whole White House and department Department of
Defense Initiative to upgrade our military to more
sophisticated levels. So I'm pretty sad to say that this will
probably pass
when I chaired the Homeland Security Subcommittee that had
jurisdiction over cybersecurity. And we did a deep dive on this.
There it is again, John, your deep dive? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, honorable critical infrastructure is, in particular
how vulnerable our electric grid is. And we found that it's very
vulnerable. So what national labs actually did that study
that showed that the generator to a skater attack? That's a
systems control and data acquisition says, you
recall, this is the exploding generator. John, this is where
it all goes?
Why is this guy adenoidal? Is he on Coke or something? Probably,
they're all on coke. Everybody's on coke. In this city, the
attack could be used to cause a generator, or a number of
generators to blow themselves up. And you can see a whole
sector of the country without electricity for a period of not
just days or weeks, but potentially months because these
generators are larger than just like batteries that are sitting
on a shelf. So you can take one out and plug another one in
these generators take months to build ship and install.
Okay, hold on a sec. Yes, I don't know we're gonna have to
go find some guy that knows about this. But I'm guessing I'm
just guessing that these generators have some sort of a
hard breaker, that is hardware that doesn't isn't affected or
can't be affected by an ad, you know, some software coming in
and say don't work. That is the generator overheats over speeds
up or does something like that it would just shut itself down.
I don't believe this. I've actually never believed this
about these generators. I'd also like a cheap piece of crap are
you buying that can be that can be spun out of control like
that.
But um, are these generators that power the grid? Is that
what he's talking about
what he's talking about that, but the generators, I guess,
were the ones that were being used in central refuge motors or
something in Iran that were sent out of control by some software,
some code, spin up, spin up to 10,000 rpm and till you blow up,
I buying it, I
at one point owned some very large generators for the data
center known as the data barn at the Amsterdam Internet exchange
a very, very good project 10 years too early, lost my shirt
and abuelas lost a lot in that.
You can't be ahead of your time and make money. No,
you can't. You can't. And these were two large generators that
were always kept at a certain temperature. So the minute there
was a power failure. Of course, the batteries for the whole data
center lasts about 11 minutes. But you really only need 20
seconds. And these bet these generators. I mean, there's
yeah, there's sure there's control systems, but you can
pretty much flip that puppy on and and cut everything off these
diesel generators that go now and then I agree with you, I
don't think it's but they're probably talking about something
else. But it's going to be offline for months. And the A
we're all going to die of lack of and I don't know,
that's just like a modern piece of equipment. That's the what
the problem with these arguments. The public, which has
been stupefied by the education system doesn't seem to
understand what's going on with anything to them technology, you
know, is a shovel and you put seeds in the ground. It they
these things aren't built like that. that you don't you don't
pay a million dollars for one of these high end generators and
let it spin itself out of control and blow itself up now.
It's not built that way. No.
But I do have two emails in the show notes from dudes named Ben
who have been asked to be kept anonymous. And this is regarding
the US CERT alert, which is exactly what this is about all
times perfectly to to get this cyber shearing bill in. And both
dudes named Ben say pretty much unanimously that it control
systems are not operated by IT departments internally by these
power companies. They're managed by maintenance departments of
industrial companies. And and it actually is one of our dudes
says these guys don't even know how to create a new folder. And
most control systems are running outdated Windows machines that
are enclosed in industrial casing. Big vendors like
Siemens, Honeywell never touched any of the systems because they
just work. So these systems are never patched no antivirus. And
they both have some very interesting examples of how
crappy it is, yes, this dark energy, the fear that's being
put upon us. It's a lot of fear mongering. But there is
something to the severely shit nature of the are like
electrical companies and how they run things. But that
doesn't necessarily mean that it's all going to come crashing
down and the thing won't work for three months. I agree with
you. That sounds like baloney to me. Onward. So Richard Clark,
what can be done to prevent
that, though very little,
very little unless you unless Joe's over hire me,
the thing here to really bear in mind is this is not about to
happen. We have nuclear weapons, we haven't used them. We have
cyber weapons. And we've seldom use them, oh, the United States
did do a cyber attack on Iran, and destroyed some nuclear
centrifuges. Good work, but this is a contingency. And it's very
unlikely that it'll be used by nation states. The real worry is
that eventually non state actors, maybe even terrorist
groups will gain this capability.
Ah, there it is. You can't see them. You can't fight them. You
can't drop a bomb on their country because they're lone
wolves or non state actors and terrorists employed. They're all
been radicalized by the terrorist narrative.
Is that the real threat, Congressman? Yeah, yeah, it is
the real threat to hit it right on that point right now.
We're not like we're working together. Right now, these
these worst weapons in cyber weapons are in the hands of
nation states who had the capability, but not necessarily
the will to use them. But then you'd have groups like ISIL, or
al Qaeda, that surely would have the intent, but not the weapons.
And that that gap that divide, if you will, is becoming much
more narrow. And eventually the worst actors will have the worst
weapons and they potentially will use them against us. I've
been trying to raise your arm on this, as Richard has been to try
to close that aperture of vulnerability. This is not a
problem that we're ever going to be that we're going to solve.
It's one that we need to manage, we need to close the aperture of
vulnerability to something that is much more manageable,
close the aperture of vulnerability. I like that.
Close the aperture of vulnerable. These guys. It's
endless. It's good. That's a good one, though. Close, endless
the aperture. Yeah, let me put this broomstick in your aperture
of vulnerability.
So what we need to do in Congress is passing information
sharing bill, bill passed almost unanimously out of the House
Intelligence Committee. It gets better as the house with strong
bipartisan support. And now we're waiting for the Senate to
take it up. That would allow classified threat information to
be passed to the private sector, for the private sector to pass
the threats or the the attacks that they are experiencing back
to the government. What could possibly go wrong? Just pass it
what they
do is gonna it's gonna be the government passing the threats
to the private sector, then being passed back to the
government. It's really just about getting information from
the private sector. Yeah. And you want the private sector and
quite strong arming them.
Yeah. The private sector includes telephony and companies
like this. This is what that is. And there's a new bill and see
if I can find this quickly. I thought it was prohibited. Maybe
it's this. There's so many new bills being proposed. I can't
find this one offhand. It'll it'll crop up later. Let us move
then to a bill that is being proposed, which I believe will
certainly become law. And, man, here we go. We haven't even
talked about this yet today. I'm sorry. This is Oh, here it is. I
found this. It's not a bit. It's the Presidential Memorandum.
That's what I was looking for in regards to this. To end guard
regards to Ebola President remember memorandum for the
administrator of the United States Agency for International
Development The USA id, subject authorizing the exercise of
authority under Public Law 85 Dash 804. By the authority
vested me in the president by the constitution and laws, I
hereby direct the following the administrator of the United
States Agency for International Development is authorized to
exercise authority under Public Law 85 Dash 804 as amended to
the same extent and subject to the same conditions and
limitations as the head of an executive department or agency
listed in Section 21 of executive order 10 789 of
November 14 1958. As amended with respect to contracts
performed in Africa in support of us AI DS response to the
Ebola outbreak, were the contractor or its employees or
subcontractors will have exposure to a bola and the
dangers surrounding the exposure to Ebola. This authority may be
exercised for the purpose of holding harmless and indemnify
indemnifying contractors with respect to claims losses or
damage arising out of or resulting from the performance
of the contracts in the course of performing these contracts to
the fight of Ebola. This is a very interesting little piece of
law which I was unaware of.
Okay, now you're gonna have to also explain how you manage to
make this leap. Oh, Feinstein Chambliss to a bola
because it's all part of the same idea. to indemnify
companies when they share your information. When the government
shares information back when you have a contract right now, which
Ebola and I didn't know about this, this law 85 Dash 804 and I
have not had time since they only found it this morning, to
find out if this will also be applied to the cyber sharing
bill, the cyber information sharing bill, a complete
indemnification, if you do it, this is what everyone was so mad
about. When we had the warrantless wiretaps, mainly
at&t, when the President and the and the lawmakers indemnified,
the telephone companies, the telephony companies for doing
this, it's the same thing.
Kind of an interesting idea if you can just get Congress to
pass these indemnification laws. You can't sue anybody.
Exactly. No one goes to jail. No one goes to jail. No one goes to
court. Right?
That's actually pretty, pretty slick.
It's the same way that we know it's with vaccines. We know this
complete in depth.
Vaccines are all you can do whatever you want. Now make
crap. Just make it just dog shit and of needles and give it to
bad. We're calling it a vaccine. So you're toast whatever you
feel like can't sue us
Mali. Now. We know we know from our economic hitman Mali was
high on the list. They they've got the Ebola. It's it's
confirmed now France will be screening arrivals from Mali for
Ebola. Yeah. And, and along with Facebook and Google, raising
awareness of Ebola, which again, I would like anyone to show me
just go look at all the videos online. Look at any piece of
footage. If there is $6 billion of money being poured into
fighting this Show Me the Money show it to me and show me the
dead people and show me the patients and show me more than
one person drinking some water being assisted show me some
bleed. I need to see some bleeding eyeballs. This is a
scam. A huge scam. And it's about to be ratcheted up with
that stupid ass. Bandaid. 30 as now and the BBC is hyped it
Eric Oh, again. Yep, so
the BBC. Now if you're going to bring all these people together
all these superstars, which is Bondo in one direction, and the
same ones, whenever there's new people that brought new people
in, we still don't have the song. But of course, you can
just have everyone come to the studio and record it, but Oh,
no, no, no, we had to have a huge press event with Bondo you
know, been throngs of people and press and and big guard rails
because oh, they somehow they discovered that this is where
the stars were coming to record the new song. Somehow they
discovered
somehow they it's easy, it really does this research.
Many of the stars taking part in today's recording might not have
been born when the first band aid single was released. But
they just like those who featured on the original know
its significance. How do you feel about taking part in this
today? Of course, 30 years After you did the original band aid
single,
as I say, I just wish we I wish we didn't have to do this. And
there will come a time when US bond No, I mean
back in 1984 Do They Know It's Christmas raised 8 million
pounds for famine hit Ethiopia. This time, it's to raise money
to help tackle the Ebola crisis, which is claimed 5000 lives in
West Africa. Every day fans crowded outside the studio where
the musicians recorded their individual lines and came
together for the songs famous chorus. They all
just clap themselves like and it is different people sing
differently now, you know. So yeah, the old song is really
boring. You know,
if this kind of enthusiasm translates into sales, another
number one seems guaranteed for the band aid team next week. And
they're hoping it will have just as big an impact as the
original, not just in terms of money raised, but also in terms
of raising public awareness. Please remember, it's in
use as public awareness. Yeah, we understand because you're not
on board with the
Geldof needs to make some cash. Cash Flow.
Yeah, no, it's not really about this is about getting people on
board. Another trinket here's here's a little little show
business trinket everybody. You can take this and feel really
good. And you can buy this and you can change your Twitter icon
to the Ebola virus to you know, that little logo we've seen
it should be an eye of bleeding eyeball. Get a bleeding eyeball
and change your icon to the beating eyeball.
We want the bleeding eyeball very good idea.
Yeah, no, that'd be great.
And it's just sad. This just sad because this is a takeover of
Western Africa. I know you're not quite on board with me on
that yet. But you'll see.
Well, I always thought that well, yeah. But it's not just us
as the British, British and the French are in on this. I do have
a couple of clips I want to do before we finish. Okay, good.
One of the things that I think we don't point it out enough
about how the American public is being brainwashed by we don't
point it out enough. No, not that they're being brainwashed,
brainwashed. And in a way that as somebody wants to point out
is essentially poison the jury pool.
Yes. Oh, like I didn't like like how DNA works. And oh, yeah,
there's a lot of these things. Yeah, the instant you know, you
shoot the guy. And now you know who he is five minutes later.
But the one that's always presentation of the way cops are
supposed to act and no cops would act this way. But the only
way you can solve crime is by doing elite. You'll stuff
because you're the good guy. You're the cop. And so you end
up with these sorts of is a trailer for one of the Blue
Bloods shows. And to me this is the most objectionable content,
because it it just makes it sound as though all the police
should just be unprofessional and be like this tourism Palooza
brother who was killed in the line of duty. What do you do
with all that?
Protected Danny Regan
assaults cry, you
have search warrants, or we have time for search warrants. any
unnecessary time for search warrants? Yeah,
I find it extremely offensive. Well, don't get a search word.
We don't have time for search warrants.
One of our producers Glenn, who sends me very long emails from
time to time. Now he sent when he sends me a long email. But
there's good stuff in there. You know, this girl who they thought
was kidnapped and thought she was dead? And then it turns out
she had she turns up in two other two states away. And
social media, some guy some 30 year old guy today come hang out
with Nietzsche. Did you find that? Yes, I remember that.
Okay. So Glenn lives somewhere in that neighborhood, I guess.
And when the minute this happens, and that's just based
upon some mother going, Hey, my kids been kidnapped, locked down
the neighborhood, then said, we have to search every single
house and Glen when No, show me a search warrant. And he got
like, he wrote me a Warren Piece on how this went down. He
finally was able to, to have uniform cops show up with an
actual search warrant. But everyone else was like, Oh, come
on in, you know, whatever. Yeah. And he says it's just not
acceptable. You say to child, think of the children and
everyone just forgets about and of course, when you say I'm
sorry, you can't search my house with a search warrant, then
you're not new. You basically did it. You must be the guy. But
we've forgotten our rights. And this is very important that this
is exactly what you're doing. And you propagate it like this.
It was time for search one we've got lives on the line here.
Yeah, I
find it disgusting. It's a shame.
This is one of the few countries I think we're where we have
this.
Now we don't have it for or
well it'll be on the books it's just not observed. You're gonna
like Amsterdam yeah you have to have ID and the cops will stop
you and say show me your ID What are you doing here? Yeah we have
a New York we have stop and search which is stopped out of
the blue kind of been stopped and I really
I have one EU related story since you brought that up just
right there and now okay and I thought this was a this was a
strange kind of a report I think it's France van cat and it was
about Juncker and how and then at the end of the the end of
this little clip, it says to me that the EU is not going to be
friendly toward business in any way. Which I think will help
expedite of the falling of the Euro personally. But if you
think about the story and then do logical things that you
should have done or should be like or why why is he
apologizing all this you'll, you'll come to the same
conclusion I believe play this story
or I have spoken on this the first time since the Luxembourg
leaks he's in it was the best friend of business. During his
19 years as prime minister of Luxembourg, the EU Commission
president was defending himself after the revelations that
hundreds of companies were allowed sweetheart deals in his
country that allowed them to pay tax of in some cases less than
1%. His comments come ahead of this weekend's G 20 summit in
Brisbane, which will be focused on cracking down on global tax
avoidance. With the details here is Charlotte Hawkins.
He's kept a low profile over the past week ever since revelations
that Luxembourg made secret deals allowing hundreds of
companies to avoid tax while he was Prime Minister. But on
Wednesday, President of the European Commission Sean Claude
Juncker defended himself in front of MEPs facing boos from
far right parties. Excuse purpose.
I want to apologize for what I've done for my country. But
clearly, I am politically responsible for everything that
the tax administration did
go in could governed Luxembourg for 19 years, but insists he was
not the architect of the tax regime that allowed companies to
save millions. While these businesses funneled money
through Luxembourg, it deprived other countries governments of
much needed revenue.
For course, and this is the Luxembourg deal
they got going on there. Yeah, a couple of things. He's loving
Luxembourg, we're talking about for starters, which is supposed
to be business friendly. So why is he apologizing? And why is he
getting booed by the right wingers who are supposed to be
you know, less government more toward business? This doesn't
make sense either.
No. Well, this is John Claude Juncker. The drunker who I think
the so called right wingers, they're just jealous. Hey, wait
a minute. How can we? We didn't get in on this deal?
Well, that could be I never thought of that.
You as a big you are sad. Yeah. We saw this is the genesis of
this very show is the Lisbon Treaty. And all of this was
predicted it was easily easy to see the the peoples of the
European Union member states have given up they don't their
children being born who don't even know any better. Yeah,
there's two places they got to headquarters. And because they
couldn't agree on where to have it, and all your money goes to
Brussels, and no one there is elected and they run they run
the show and they got an army and they're going to take over
your banks and yeah, yeah. Um, yeah. Fighter. I don't know what
you're trying to tell me with this clip other than Yeah,
that's it.
I don't know. Just another clip to reiterate. It's Yeah, screw
and, of course, one of our context about the Mexican
situation, which we'll discuss more, obviously, in a few weeks,
if we can figure out what what's going to come with it. Is that
say Spain is just borderline going that way, too.
Yeah. Well, we had the whole cuttle Catalonia thing which I
we have yet to hear the results. We know what the results were.
The results came out. They're illegal is whatever that
whatever the results are.
There was a pro Yes, that's breakaway. It was like 30, like
60%, something like
that rock and roll. Everyone's all on board short. That's not
gonna happen.
No, it's not gonna happen. Let me just look at the Basque
experience.
I just wanted to respond to one thing that I heard on the
Devorah Horowitz program, which I listened to in the plane on my
way here. But oh, you had a question, then neither you or
Andrew Horowitz. I enjoy your program very much, by the way,
which is unrehearsed and already in progress. And I enjoy very
much but you did not understand this bit and I had the President
talking about it today because it's apropos
if you miss Your chance to get covered last year. Here's the
good news, starting November 15. Today, you can go online and get
covered for 2015. And we've spent the last year improving
and upgrading healthcare.gov to make it faster and easier to
use. If you already buy health insurance through the online
marketplace, now's the time to take a look at some of the new
options for next year, you might be able to save more money, or
find a plan that fits your family's needs even better than
the one you've got. Now. If you haven't signed up for insurance
yet, this is your chance. Odds are qualify for tax credits to
help you afford it. But this window won't stay open forever.
You only have three months to shop for plants. So it's worth
starting right away. And it might make a big difference for
your family's bottom line.
And the question that was posed on the otherwise outstanding to
work Horwitz unplugged program was what is going on with this
enrollment window. And I wanted to explain
let me reiterate, I've always found it peculiar, that when
you're signing up for something, there is an enrollment window.
Yes. In other words, I have three months to do this. Why
can't I do it before the window opens? Or after the window
closes? Why can I do it whenever I feel like it?
And I know the answer, because I found myself without health
insurance for myself and my wife. And the window was not
open. And I said hello, I'd like to buy some insurance. And they
said, I'm sorry, the window is not open, you cannot buy
insurance. There, you can, you can go to cobra, which is more.
That's kind of like the whole foods have insurance, here's all
my money until the window opens. And the reason is, if the window
was always open view would more than likely not get insurance
until something happened. And they don't want that to happen.
So Oh, I got cancer ma crap. Maybe I should enroll. You see
how this works?
You have an open window 24/7 for 360 had the whole year from auto
insurance? Why can't you take that argument and put it to all
you have to have a windy? Oh, well, because you don't do that?
Because if you crash your car, you'll get insurance?
No, no, I think it's a little different. When you crash your
car or when something happens. The damage is apparent and
documented and done. And dates are no you can't just file a
claim without taking another
shot at this. You're not gonna buy it. No. Let me try this one.
You find out you got cancer during the open window? Yes. And
then you get your insurance.
That's the pre existing condition. So they know that.
Then why don't you
have the pre existing condition all year round? You can do it
during the window.
No, you're missing the point. Think like an insurance guy.
Think like an insurance guy. Not like John smart. Who doesn't
want to screw people necessarily think like an insurance guy.
Okay, look, if they could make the window three weeks instead
of three months they do it. And by the way, no better time than
during Christmas shopping season. This is a great time to
do it. The whole point is, if you find people if someone
breaks their leg, it I guarantee you there are there are people
that hey, hey, Johnny, you broke your leg hobble around until I
get this insurance thing set up. Don't tell anybody. And then
we'll say well, you'll fall down and we'll call him we'll get it
get it fixed. This is what it's for John. And I understand it
too. That never used to be this way. Please look at pet health
insurance. The minute you could get health insurance for your
pet and a lot I know lots of people who do this, that's when
a visit to the pet doctor the veterinarian became minimum $350
Because that's how insurance works. It's a scam
about this
Oh, let me give you another example. Mickey has medication
for her thyroid. She cannot get more than a 30 day supply. Only
six or so she wants 60 Because she's traveling no 30 days only.
And it all has to do with the cut off dates and the pricing
and the insurance which is very expensive as it turns out some
thyroid medication $500 a month or something so I understand
they want to keep a lid on this and then actually rather hope
that you forget it and die. This cheaper.
Well yeah, no they'd like you to die. That's the that's the way
to go. Well, okay, I'm a guy. I'll let you let this slide. I'm
just thinking they're not. There's other arguments I can
make. I'm sure, you know, seems annoying,
you know? Yeah. Well, yes, it is annoying. Well, how
about this?
He's gonna keep trying. You got one.
You have insurance? Yes. The window opens, you can change
your insurance to a different carrier. Why can't you do that
all year round?
Ah, well, for most people, as I will find out the next time the
windows open. A your insurance will pretty much be canceled.
You'll have to move to another plan, which is going to cost you
more money. This Windows is not a good thing. The President is
oh, you may be able to get cheaper insurance. A plan that
better fits your family.
Take a note of the time when you just did that. Yeah.
Okay. Number One Insurance scam guys salesman in the world. I'm
sorry. Do you have anything positive to go out on? Give me
some? Yeah, probably.
I'm taking this look. Oh, I
got a Dr. Kiki clip.
Oh, is it funny,
the thing that you want to you you hope for is that you get a
flu that will be dangerous for the average person.
What? The thing that you want to get a flu that will be dangerous
to the average person? Yes. Because that's what she said.
Yes, sir.
This is because it will then force people to recognize the
importance of getting flu shots. You want it to be dangerous.
Because if people aren't dying from it in massive quantities,
they'll never go for the flu shot. So that's why you hope for
this
play out again. Play it again,
the thing that you want to you you hope for is that you get a
flu that will be dangerous for the average person. Shut up
already. Science.
That's what it's all about, man. That's terrible. She said that.
She's a little psychotic. I think there's something I've
noticed along the way. All right. Well, we made it through
somehow. John, I think we did cover the most important bases,
the G 20. Being the top of the list. Thank you for your your
updates. Remember everybody we hate Putin. Russia is dangerous,
because we need to have more sophisticated weaponry. And
we'll do that without actual American soldiers in harm's way.
And the goal and remember, it's the terrorist narrative that
will get your kids in trouble. And I shall be hanging out with
the DPG my uncle Don on Monday and bringing you a full report
on Thursday show
this what you can tell us.
I will tell you everything he won't tell me something I can't
say. Good. That's what Meg does secretly coming to you from FEMA
Region to here in Gotham in the city of New York. Thanks for
bearing with us there on the stream in the morning everybody.
I'm Adam curry
is sorry about that. Northern Silicon Valley. I'm John C.
Dvorak. We're like I said before we got no nuts to roast and
we will be back on Thursday with more of your media
deconstruction right here on no agenda
he bow Whoa. Yay bow
you hope for is that you get a flu that will be dangerous for
the average person. It wasn't worth it. It was worth
it and her head is gone.
And that's the story.
It is scary and wretched and miserable. It is gross. Adios
