00:00 No! Ah, well... no we got E-World. Adam Curry John C Devorah It's Thursday March 15th 2018 This is your award winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 10 16 This is no agenda Here I am keeping my opening comments to a minimum, to give you equal opportunity and time. And well done!

00:41 Just to prove we don't rehearse the show at all Very hard explaining that to people who've heard the show for the first time in Holland. Wait a minute women so Huh? That's pretty much huh, how does that work yes to reiterate The hosts of this show never speak with each other except on the show and we don't know what we're gonna talk about Nope until I get to this show and I don't know what John's clips are I don't even look at the at the titles Why would I You just confuse yourself. Exactly, happy World Contact Day! I think yes you know we missed the boat on yesterday. Pi day? Yeah yeah well we didn't have a show so how could we how could we even hop on that boat and as my wife pointed out the real irony of pi day was Stephen Hawking died the day before or whoever was playing the role of Stephen Hawkins. Well based on your thesis not just someone may or may not have died the day before

01:46 Yeah, but that may have been the signal. Oh What do you mean a before Pi Day? Oh Hmm interesting yeah code. Yeah No I'm I know I met a Stephen Hawkins. I don't know if it was the Stephen Hawkins no But I told you that story right I was in Los Angeles at the The Mondrian Hotel which is a real douchebag swanky hip-ass hotel with the sky bar and pool Yeah, everyone knows the Mondrian not everybody knows it and I was having dinner there And there was Stephen Hawkins with with a bunch of hot hot nurses feeding him. And you went over there? And said hi no of course not Adam Curry surely you've heard of me No, I did not but World Contact Day is interesting. I didn't know about this

02:39 World Contact Day. I'm sure you're going to find out now, i've never heard of it either until this very minute. It's been going on for a while... This was first declared March 1953 by the International Flying Saucer Bureau, the IFSB Oh! It's a flying saucer day? Yes! It is a day in which all IFSB members attempt to send a telepathic message into space So we can all participate you can do your little part by trying to telepathically send messages of good cheer To our extraterrestrial friends. How do we know they're friendly? We don't but we're just going to start off by being friendly

03:28 Yes, that's always been our first mistake in the movies Exactly. Well there's actually some just some space you try to be friendly then the army comes in and starts shooting at everyone attack There's some space news coincidentally today This was the president speaking in front of some troops in space United States is going to do Colonel Glenn proud we are finally going to lead again a You see what's happening? You see the rockets going up left and right, you haven't seen that for a long time. Yeah I only see Elon's rockets going up left and right now we're taking credit for this...I guess

04:10 Very soon we're going to Mars. We're going to Mars, Jeremy. We're going to Mars very soon. No Elon's going to Mars. No! WE! I just heard the president saying it. We are going to Mars. He got a mouse in his pocket? Been going to Mars if my opponent won. You wouldn't even be thinking about it. Non-sequitur of the day My new national strategy for space recognizes that space is a war fighting domain just like the land, air and sea. I think we actually have an international treaty where we all agreed that space was not to be weaponized? Am i mistaken on this

04:54 How can he see that as a war battlefield? Well, he's not seeing it as... No. It is the treaty between the Earth countries that are not going to use space. Oh okay! He is saying in case of some other extraterrestrials... The aliens! We can do whatever we want with them. There is no treaty with them I know of We may even have a space force. Develop another one, Space Force! We have the Air Force we'll have the Space Force? Yeah. We have the Army and Navy? Space Force You know I was saying it the other day because were doing tremendous amount of work in space. Maybe we need a new force will call it the Space Force. And I was not really serious and then I said what a great idea maybe we'll do that

05:38 Even when I'm not serious, I've got genius ideas. We have a Space Force! We have the off-world Space Force We know this. This is in all the National Defense Authorization Act documents, there's always... That's true that we've read from those paragraphs. Yeah! There's always a space force and then this news which came in... Interesting study from NASA. NASA says that astronaut Scott Kelly's DNA was altered in space The study compared Kelly's DNA to the DNA of his twin brother Mark who was also an astronaut Researchers looked at each of their DNA before and after Scott's year-long trip to the International Space Station. They said that 7% of his genes have remained altered. Well, this brings us to the science fiction story... I can't remember who the writer is. I thought it was Bradbury but it might not be.

06:38 bunch of humans go to Mars and they settle it put a colony up yeah, and After a period of I don't know X number of years. They actually slowly turn into Martians Oh nice Well, did I find you know first of all? You don't need to go to space to have your DNA change just implement 5g will all be fine That going our DNA will be ripped to shreds yes but But I do remind people from time to time, you know this all this talk of space travel if you go to NASA's website today and You look at you know what are All the young all the young Millennials who are now running the joint and they talk about oh, you know one day We'll be able to get through the Van Allen belts And we'll get to explore Mars like wait a minute. We sent guys through that thing 50 years ago and back again then now just being in space changes your DNA you gotta think

07:32 Did we really go to the moon? And why did NASA lose... Why did NASA lose the tapes? Oh, gee. Okay yeah for another time I got you. Yeah a special yes so i flew back from Amsterdam yesterday. Yes we need to know more plane was almost empty Oh, that's nice. I love it when you get on a plane and it is almost empty! When we flew over to England for Thanksgiving the plane was almost empty and for the first time in maybe 10 years I could actually lay out across the whole row in the middle and sleep. Yeah, yeah...I could do the same. It's too bad that flight is stopping only for South by Southwest

08:13 Oh yeah, I thought it was permanent but no. It's just for this... Well now you gave me an excuse to leave two things South by Southwest and the bombings! Well sadly South by Southwest is still ongoing and i don't understand why they don't just call it the South By Southwest bomber? Uh..I have a clip I'm sure you have one too That's great that you know that funny I didn't think of that but that's what they should've called him Which has showed up right it with South by Southwest to start bombing well instead of probably disappear when they leave Instead of that they've the calling it something else should we do your clip or my clip? We both know I want to hear the ABC clip Let me hear let me have new developments here in the urgent search for a possible serial bomber in Austin, Texas As we reported last night three package bombs exploding two people killed those packages left on doorsteps and what we learned late today ABC's Alex Perez in Austin

09:07 Investigators in Austin tonight desperately chasing a suspected serial bomber. We are going to follow up on every lead. Anxiety gripping the city after three packages exploded, killing two. Everybody's on guard... Okay just for second anxiety is not gripping the city Tina's been here, she works here. She is around people you know it's not nice but is anxiety gripping the city in fear? No. That's what they said! Boots on the ground here lead anxiety gripping the city after three packages exploded killing two Everybody's on guard. Everybody's real suspicious if there's any packages emergency officials have flooded with more than 265 calls of suspicious packages

10:00 This is the home where the first bombing occurred back on March 2nd. You can see the impact, the power ripping right through this wall blowing out the door. Authorities tell ABC News that explosive devices were constructed with nuts bolts and nails generating shrapnel and were triggered to explode when picked up The fact that they have been able to not only build these bombs, but then travel with them and deploy them to the target locations without them exploding shows that they do have a certain level of sophistication. And tonight, the youngest victim identified as 17 year old Draylon Mason, a dedicated student with a passion for music. The reward for any information leading to an arrest in this case now up to $65,000 David

10:44 That's surprising. I expected to hear something in your report which i read everywhere, but it was not in this ABC report and it comes from the official press conference from the APD. What we understand at this point is that early this morning one of the residents went out front steps that exploded That case was being investigated as a suspicious death. It is now being reclassified and is now a homicide investigation as well, and I've said we do see similarities in believe that these cases are linked at this time However, we don't know what the motive behind these may be. We do know that both of the homes that were the recipients of these packages belonged to African Americans so we cannot rule out hate crime is at the core of this but we're not saying it's the cause as well." Yeah but that got picked up everywhere I read

11:37 Well, first of all my clip didn't have any of that because Mike it was on to the third bombing and your clip is only at The second bar. That's already been previously covered correct but the third one There was exactly the same message from the police well apparently ABC doesn't want to promote that mess I'm surprised. I'm very surprised. I thought that that's what they would go with yeah I don't know what this is This is odd. I think it's some some lunatic from South by Southwest you think so yeah hmm So looking into these guys well again, that's what I would have called it. I don't understand why they didn't just call it the south by southwest bomber That'd be great probably had a bunch of people sending them cease and desist orders Don't do that Don't do that Yeah anyway so back on the plane towards the South by Southwest bombing situ sitch

12:33 But there's a lot of anxiety. Yeah, a lot of anxiety First I wanted to mention something I learned...I didn't realize this and it happened maybe two years ago in the Netherlands part of the EU harmonization as you know all the United States of Europe member states have to kind of be the same So we already know that, you know the coffee shops where you buy your weed they're no longer legally transferable to be weed coffee shops. Once the owner sells or dies or whatever goes out of business You can no longer use that so weed legally That's how they're trying to tamp that down a bit But here's something that was very surprising and it's strictly enforced You now have to be 21 to drink in The Netherlands

13:19 Oh, I didn't know that was 18 before. It was...I think it was 16 when i was a kid and you know there in restaurants the carding people this is completely new there was never a situation of carding kids because the EU they can't put up with anyone drinking at 18 yeah it's very surprising and why don't they look at the United States just to see that policy is stupid? Stupid! All you get is fake IDs everywhere They're advertised everywhere for buying for a bit of Bitcoin And when kids get their hands on it, then they drink as much as they can. It's a stupid policy! I just...it's a head shaker to me and i think its the same here. Its completely stupid

14:03 I don't know. This is something that can get worked up about one way or the other... Oh, not worked up about? Oh! ...I think in Idaho it's, I believe it's still 18 and there are some few states In Texas you can drink in a restaurant if your parents are there or legal guardian and your eighteen There's some rule about that which is interesting And I saw, you gotta see this recommendation documentary called 42 grams Have you ever heard of this movie? No It's about this guy who, I guess he trained at Chef Trotter's restaurant. You would know what that means, I don't. Charlie Trotter? Charlie Trotter yeah and so he decides to do first an underground restaurant in Chicago and then he opens it up as a real restaurant with like you can only have 20 place seatings

14:50 And his goal was to get a Michelin star in his first year and, you know... ...and ten months after they opened two Michelin stars. It's really if you're into food is very interesting documentary 42 grams I'm very surprising I'd never heard of this restaurant Why are they using a cocaine phrase? No it was 2 times 21 grams and 21 grams is something else I can't remember But speaking of cocaine! And while on the topic Kudlow, now the advisor to the president. I got a note from the former New York banker one line, Kudlow is a coke head and an idiot! That kind of sums it up. He's supposed to be 15 years clean Well i'm just telling what did the New York banking elite think of him?

15:44 And who was the previous, I mean forget of course Gary Cohn but in the Obama administration who was the economic advisor? You don't know. No one gives a crap about this position. No it's only been played up by the media because Cohn you know quit and they just looking for anything for story. I'm gonna find out who this is maybe it wasn't pointless. Cohen I'm doing the book of knowledge. Okay, well I can give you a little and the book acknowledge on the wiki page they always have The they always have the previous and then you know They show you who was there before so I go preceded by hold on We're gonna find out I have a I've a Jeffery's sense

16:29 Vaguely rings a bell. Very vaguely. C-I-E-N-T-S Here's CNN Yeah, we know that when President Trump wants advice or affirmation he frequently turns on the TV but this is one of the best examples yet of that Trump TV feedback loop it's not only did the president live tweets cable news shows gets ideas from cable news hosts and sometimes calls them up after they're on the air. Now we actually see him poaching a host from cable television, in this case Larry Kudlow as you've been talking about. He should have just said yes I think CNBC should be my financial advisor that would have been easier get all of them in on it including Andrew Ross Sorkin and all these guys are jabronis. All they can say is buy markets down by the dip time to buy its up bye keep going

17:23 Yeah, nothing's moving. 1987 Kudlow was hired by Bear Stearns as the chief economists. Kudlow also served as an economic counsel to A.B Laffer San Diego company owned by Arthur Laffer major supply-side economist What does that mean? Explain this to me because I keep hearing the term... I'm not going to explain it because they can't fully explain it but generally speaking supply side has to do with demand, oh no with production more than demand. Here I'll read it supply side economics is a macroeconomic theory that argues economic growth can be most effectively created by lowering taxes and decreasing regulation oh well there's that yeah according to supply-side economics consumers should then benefit from greater supply in other words increase the supply of goods hence supply side

18:15 greater supply of goods and services at lower prices and employment will increase. It was started by economist Robert Mundell during the Ronald Reagan administration." Yeah, I'm sorry I asked you're right although...I just want to make mention that you have to remind me in the opening I said it's episode 1015 but it's actually 1016 Oh, do we need to open again? No no why not just edit it in? We'll go ten sixteen! Remind me to do that. Yeah, hold on I'll record it now 16 there you go the good good work yeah

18:52 You know, the funny thing is you called me out for saying 2015-2016 because it sounds like a familiar year. I noticed in the newsletter that I wrote 2016. Oh no! No they didn't go out. But as soon as I saw it and then as soon as I saw it in print I said oh thats why Im doing it. It looks like a familiar year we recently had Yes well Ill edit that little bit in. No one will notice Well, now everyone's gonna have to go back and listen. It'll go on no believe me by the time we're done They'll notice all right So cut low so Carlos Bennett is not like he's a complete schmuck that's only done TV But okay if you want to play it, but it's also it's not him. It's unimportant I don't see I think it's an important either yeah The other guy was only doing it as kind of window dressing they mean while they fired

19:50 Explain this to me. So Tillerson, what I read everywhere and again I was in transit between the EU and Gitmo proper I, whoa he fired him by a tweet! I looked. I didn't see...I saw an announcement but i didn't see him being fired and is that now the..is there any fact to this news? Yeah it looks like he fired him by tweeting. He didn't talk to them until two hours after you'd already given his resignation speech Really Or an hour afterwards yeah No it seems to me like he would have known Well, here I got a little of the small Tillerson clip. I have another...I took the whole thing down because there's something in there that I need to analyze but I want you to just listen to Tillerson hyperventilating Tell me he is not hyperventilating To ensure we have clarities ahead what is most important is to ensure an orderly and smooth transition during at time that country continues to face significant policy and national security challenges As such effective at the end of the day

20:54 I'm delegating all responsibilities of the office of the secretary to Deputy Secretary of State Sullivan. Well, he's not actually hyperventilating but it does sound like he is extremely out of breath He is hyperventilating I mean, some people think he's about to cry but i've hyperventilated on stage once. Yeah it's...I've had that happen but It's very uncomfortable There is no real way of stopping his whole speech was this way He just like out of breath because thats what it sounds like But hes hyperventilating and must be extremely upset or nervous? I don't even know what causes it when I hyperventilated in public once

21:35 Could never put my finger on why I was doing it in the first place, but I do know that when you start it It's very hard to stop. Yeah You have to just you have to take a minute to just catch your breath and slow down yes swallow yeah It's extremely uncomfortable so would you think there was emotions here the Tillerson was surprised? I think so yeah well He shouldn't have been in fact if you start reading enough about it you find out that he was actually He was gone, for all practical purposes he was gone in December. Yeah after the moron comment? Yeah well the moron comment is what got him fired as far as anyone can tell but Trump made the mistake of saying oh no he's a really good guy and so he couldn't fire right away. The Trump kiss of death! Great guy! Oops... So he got out

22:29 December, according to everybody he was completely marginalized and nobody did wasn't in meetings just also we needed to complete the military coup of the White House which I think is now complete. The whole administration is now military isn't Pompeo also a military ex-military? I don't know if Pompeo was military...I mean he I think he might be seems like a Marine pretty sure Okay, we're gonna look him up. This is a day this the theme today is with media Being it being it just doing it let me see I did wrote a column about being at this last week by the way for PC magazine Oh what did you write? I wrote that we're being in it now

23:11 Wait a minute, the show? That on the show we're binging it. No I talked about...I was on Bing because I have Bing set up and I started to notice that Bing has many times better photos and this all began when I had that Cochran singer what's his name Billy Cochran You know the Cochran guy from the 70s with a big pompadour that was in the, you saw him on the newsletter. Oh! The guy with the album, oh the Trump hair? Yeah, Trump hair guy and so I noticed that Bing had much better photos of him and then I started, stayed on Bing for awhile then clicked around and ended up with Bing Maps

23:55 I was stunned by Bing Maps. They have, besides having everything Google has including traffic and street view even though they call it Street Side and it's not as good as Google but is still there and its also harder to navigate but they have these traffic cams little dots all over you can click on any one of them you see the traffic cam for that area your driving in this really a...and they have the directions are slightly different So I would recommend people at least check that out. Bing it, bing it people! Pompeo was a West Point grad served in the army and he was captain so yeah military, its all military His net worth is always bad sign unless they're completely wrong his net worth is $345,000 Is he renting?

24:47 Apparently. That's not a lot No, this is like he's like Joe Biden who was like a net worth of nothing Hmm that's interesting meanwhile I've read that and again you have to ask if this is true or not He got to be captain he made it the captain Who's the HUD secretary again Ben Carson apparently? He's worth 49 million dollars Yeah Carson smart from what well he's smart but he said he's in these a neurosurgeon What a great gig Yeah, and he's also you know probably I believe he's part of a couple those teams You know there's little HMOs as specialized in certain things. They just make nothing but money Cleaning up so yeah, so we have Pompeo moving in we have Then so Pompeo is gonna be Secretary of State. It's just perfect This complete military takeover And I think it effectively puts the FBI in a very bad position because now it's all CIA guys

25:48 and gals. Listen, we have a new CIA director... directress what's her name? Gina? Yeah, Gina something I have a clip of it of her announces your new CIA chief Gina okay do we need to play the Tillerson background or clip are we good on that uh We don't need to, I don't think. I mean we know what happened Okay here's new CIA chief Gina Pompeo the choice to succeed him to run the CIA will be Gina Haspel The first woman to run the spy agency but Martha she doesn't come without controversy either Yes she doesn't Gina Haspel was in charge of one of the CIA black sites where they did so-called enhanced interrogation including waterboarding about Al Qaeda operative Abu Zubaydah

26:32 who was waterboarded more than 80 times. She is no doubt going to be asked about that during confirmation hearings, David. And the CIA destroying documents and all kinds of shenanigans. Great! Yeah, she's the one who destroyed a bunch of tapes I guess... She personally did that? She personally destroyed tapes? I think she ordered it. Oh. Well, she was ahead before Pompeo brought her up to be director not director but whatever is under director Assistant Director or something yeah It has got some title anyway she was the head of covert operations

27:14 She was like a spook, a real one. Yeah! Well that's who you want? Well it depends as long as she takes the side of the administration that's who you want but if she's gonna just continue this you know the WaPo CIA attempt at undermining the presidency That's not who you want I don't think so although there is this big three part expose on what is it The World Socialist website about all new Democrats who are running yes, and the end and a lot of them are X CIA or if there's any such thing as I Think my comment on Twitter because when I first saw that is a great piece And I'll put it in the next news. I put a link to it yeah today too was good was Something now I forgot my train of thought damnit

28:11 Where's my vitamin? A number of CIA Democrats running for it. Yeah, the Democrat... well it went on about how all these... oh I also did an exchange with my liberal buddies about this. Are you going to read them now do you have the actual...? No they don't have in front me It's a feature coming up They said that the CIA is not taking over the Democrat party but this article was about all these ex-CIA people running as Democrats across the country Are they running as Trump-hating Democrats, or are they running as conservative Democrats? Or liberal Democrats? I mean that guy who just won in Pennsylvania is a conservative Democrat. That was kind of interesting... First of all the margin that he won by was pretty tight. I'm surprised it was that close. That other guy's just a doofus!

29:05 Republicans run a lot of doofuses and they wonder why they can't win some of these seats. We don't even know the other guy's name, that's how much of a doofus he is! Well this is a... One of the ads from this is a Conor Lamb, a Democrat who won this Pennsylvania House seat. My opponent wants you to believe the biggest issue in this campaign is Nancy Pelosi It's all a big lie I've already said on the front page of the newspaper that I don't support Nancy Pelosi The real issues are the ones that affect your lives I'll protect Medicare and Social Security. Then he goes on so he's against Nancy Pelosi and then... Right, yeah kind of. Kind of! And then what i understand is the Republicans were all you know he was a conservative Democrat no wonder he won you know it's good actually it's good that the Democrats won there yeah and then

29:58 There was a question about this in some press conference with the Democratic caucus chairman and here's his response. This election was not about Nancy Pelosi. Connell M really localized the issue, the attempt to nationalize it by Republicans I think they need to get a new game book The attempts to use Nancy Pelosi are failing them at this point. And I think quite frankly it's sexist. Should have known better! Why? Yeah, sure... Sexist She's the boss! Yeah she's the boss You say anything about the boss and then you're sexist

30:44 There was some funny Pelosi stuff floating around recently. But here's the guy who ran against the, uh, the guy who lost this is a, uh, ABC went after him with this particular little bit. This is Democrats hate the U S and hate God clip Payne, Saccone delivering this baseless claim about Democrats. They have a hatred for our president I tell you many of them have a hatred for our country and i'll tell you some more my wife and I saw it again today they have a hatred for God. I asked Saccone about this after he voted today Do you believe democrats hate this country? And hate god? He wouldn't answer

31:20 Classic ABC. What they missed was, uh... Any collusion? That should have been in there would have been perfect! I gotta get that we got to iso with that thing yeah any collusion any collusion so the guy was kind of a doofus and he was it wasn't not presentable the other guys young marine you know he has some some charisma I'm surprised that the election was... it's a good sign it was as close as it was, at least for the Republicans. Why? Because the guy was so good that they almost beat him out? Yeah! I think he was much more presentable candidate. Well again we don't even know the other guys name even after playing the clip. They just said in that report and I can't remember either but look it up. But the God hating thing you know that's dumb It's just dumb to say that is stupid

32:16 That's as dumb as what Hillary Clinton said. Yeah, I got that clip this was surprising is just the one for she's in India? Yeah, I believe so not sure actually cuz I have a Hillary clip where she's an Indian and she's condemning white women yeah That's what I got here We do not do well with white men And we don't do well with married white women um and part of that is an identification with the Republican Party and a sort of ongoing pressure to vote the way that your husband, your boss, your son whoever believes you should. Yeah that's just for white women mind you yeah and white men this is the most racist thing I've heard she's the worst it's just racist

33:15 It's textbook definition. And she gets a reasonable pass, well that was a dumb thing to say. No she got a lot of don't kid yourself A reasonable pass I'm saying. Reasonable. She got a pass at all. No one called her racist Oh well the racist thing could have been tossed at her Yeah Here is note from Jason Ditzel which kind of relates to this We have Gen X are raising Gen Z and we're going to talk about this little bit on this show They're listening to No Agenda, Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh with us discussing liberty and fractional reserve currency at the table. And getting their bullshit-tometers calibrated doing my part to educate Gen Z so they can save the damn republic like Tim Jason. Yeah good luck!

34:05 Save the republic. No, I'm afraid not and it doesn't appear that way Well what really is more influence from peer groups than there are seems to me from a lot of parents But kids generally speaking and this would apply to Hillary Haters and the Trump haters and everybody in between And when I ask people if you're listening to this Ask yourself do you vote the way your parents voted? Okay, I would say 90% of the people would say yeah my dad was a Democrat. I'm a Democrat. My dad was Republican I'm a Republican Yeah Very few people switch around and which i've done i've switched from...I was a democrat my Dad was a democrat? I should be a democrat no No, no I gave up on that became a republican then it became an independent then It became what in California you can do which is non-affiliated

35:00 Is that like independent? No, independent is a separate category. What's the difference? Non-affiliated means... no you can't label me! Oh okay A very California thing so I'm non affiliated and it means i'm not an independent, I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican, I'm me. I've got to be me And that, but how many people out there do that? They don't. They tend to vote which is what the Democrats are banking on because they figure well if everybody you know comes in all the Latinos come in illegally they're all gonna vote Democrat and then their kids will vote Democrat and then they'll reproduce a lot yeah and you can end up with the Democrat take over of the country. With this assumption that it would your parents do you do

35:51 Well, that was pretty obvious with this whole school walkout which I thought was intended to be a 17 minutes of remembrance. But all I saw is a lot of kids being abused by adults again for political means which as I learned in Connecticut it's against the law Yes, well I got that same note it was from Dame Jamie. Yeah is very she went to jerk and started mailing everyone And like doing whatever she could bitching about this was a violation of Connecticut law yeah teachers can't What was the what is the exact? politicizers you couldn't do anything like this essentially was and but but I think it's true I mean all I saw were clips of

36:37 Democratic leaders holding hands with the kids and talking about guns, and I just think but in not a single kid. I saw interview as I didn't even pull clips I didn't see a single one that had an actual message about what they would want just you know something's got to be done Okay, well what does that mean violence now? Yeah, man you stop gun violence now yeah, okay How does that work and all the reports in Europe you know oh? The way that the way they make it sound, which is the same here is these kids know they can't believe their lawmakers haven't done anything to you know just get guns off the street. To stop stop guns get get guns away and not a single mention of the Second Amendment

37:23 Not a single one from, you know BBC Sky News. No no they don't know what the Second Amendment is in Europe. They really don't understand it I guess they don't want Europeans to understand what a constitution is that would be wrong? No can have that. I did have a clip from one of the students at this part of the student thing This was, what did I do with it? Student walkout girl mentions Columbine. I thought this was weird. We should be able to go and feel safe and learn and not have to fear that something might happen In Evanston Illinois the teenagers calling their legislators to demand gun reform. I'm calling to request that you take action Our parents had wars

38:01 And we have Columbine. And there at Columbine where 13 died, a tribute to the victims of both tragedies. Most these kids weren't even born during Columbine Now the thing is that Columbine where 13 were dead she's equating it with our parents had wars I don't know if she realizes maybe they don't teach it 50 million people died in World War II alone Well, she should know that's Columbine. We lost our Columbine is what we that's our you know We had Columbine our parents had these stupid wars well that yeah That's by the way What about the other school shootings besides Columbine? She doesn't mention any of them just how about Vegas with 58 people killed? Columbine but yeah But even more obvious is the the the mines programming really pollution and

38:54 When we have an issue in the United States, and we don't want to do anything about it We just declare war on it. You know war on poverty war on drugs Anything we'd really don't want to change just declare war homeless Yeah And then actual wars we don't declare them which is the cool thing about it you go bomb some country. Don't declare war This is South Carolina this governor Henry McMaster about the student walkouts. by these left-wing groups to further their own agenda. It is not about the tragedy, it's not about the schoolchildren or what we should all do and what these students should do. I imagine that a lot of them intend to pray and hope for the families of those who were slain but

40:00 But this is a tricky move, I believe by the left-wing group from information that I've seen to use these children as a tool to further their own means. It sounds like a protest in me it's not a memorial it certainly not a press service its political statement by left wing group and so shameful. I agree that is shameful I think it's abuse. Yeah, well they could find somebody a little more erudite than this character Well people are afraid to say these things They're afraid! I was watching The View Awww! I know By accident And they had... you know there's McCain girls on there now Yeah Megan and she has said ummm....I think i have a clip of at least part of this which led her saying I don't think I should talk about

40:58 I don't think i should talk about it here. It is there's now a play this afterwards She says, I don't think I should be talking about this about the student walkout and all the rest because I'm For the Second Amendment and I'm out of NRA proud member and she went she is Sorry, Bayhar is a proud member of the inner. Oh McCain scared me like what? so She goes on and on, and then she says that these guys who are representing all students is marginalizing a lot of kids who are conservatives that you know are fine with guns. Well I think the point is... She got shot it down for that by the way. Of course but what if children in

41:49 Texas, not Austin but in Texas decided to do a march for pro-life March. It wouldn't have received the same type of fawning adulation that this march did. No pro life marches are known to not really attract a lot of media I think it would have been the opposite thing would've been a lot of crazy unhinged media these days. No? I don't think so they just ignore it They have their agenda, they do what they do and that's you know... Are we going to play some Behar? Because I got a... Well I have Behar going. She goes after pants and then she has to apologize and i was kind of amused by that. I don't know if we should play it but her apology was just so insincere It was unbelievable but she was on the show about the students

42:43 I pulled this is not about the student protest, but it's about something else which is one of our themes of our show. Which is how a false narrative, what's the best way to put it? Because people hate that word. A false narrative that's created somewhere along the way in this case, Russian meddling in the election or worse the way Behar puts it and it's thrown into the media. It is thrown into public domain and its used like a red line in Syria and Syrians gas their own people which at base doesn't make any sense

43:18 That it becomes part of the lexicon. It's part of everyone because true, it's just true. It's a fact this true It is all bullshit and here's Bayhard delivering on one of these It reminds me of the 60s not that I was born yet but You know But I heard that people took to the streets and it's interesting at that time it was against the Vietnam War. And this time, it's against guns so it takes violence sometimes to get people on their feet and get out there like we've been cyber attacked by the Russians everybody knows that now but because its not something you can see, its not a gun, its not tangible People are not reacting in way they probably should Cyber attacked

44:03 We've been cyber attacked. We've been cyber attacked by the Russians, everyone knows that to be true. It's fact! She even adds that it's beautiful everybody knows this is true just as a fact I'm not even going to go into explaining what really happened we've explained it on the show so many times and it doesn't matter. I want to hear her apology for Well, first you want to hear what she said. You can skip that. Yeah just play the apology and you'll hear a... this is after Pence went after her. Wait wait so Pence goes after her and then in a couple different media says so A B C got a little upset

44:44 and demanded that she, because she kept going on with this. Now I got to hear the original let's listen to the original. And i think when you have a Mike Pence that now sort of puts this religious veneer on things and calls people values voters...I think we're in a dangerous situation look I'm Catholic I'm a faithful person but I don't know that I want my vice president Well, speaking in tongues and having Jesus speak to them. Like I said before... It's one thing to talk to Jesus it's another thing when Jesus talks to you. Exactly! Mental illness if i'm not correct. Hearing voices My question is can he talk to Mary Magdalene without his wife in the room? I don't think so that's me. I don't think anyone could be worse than Trump. Okay

45:37 Mike Pence and his religiosity and everything else. I don't think that he's mentally ill even though he says he is hearing voices, i don't think he's that crazy, he has no charisma whatsoever, I don't think you would get re-elected, I don't think he would want to destroy the environment, I don't think that he would make it his life's purpose to go against everything Obama did, I don't think he would antagonize Kim Jong Un, That's why I think he would be better because Trump Okay, well wasn't all that bad but no it wasn't that bad But she did associate mental illness with sure with religiosity whatever that means How about just religion? It's a word or belief for whatever Religiosity is a word. Oh yeah All right now the apology yeah Yeah So I think vice president Pence is right

46:32 I was raised to respect everyone's religious faith and i fell short of that. I sincerely apologize for what I said. Okay! Wooo yeah! Go girl! Yeah let's get back to guns right on cue when we're talking about bringing more guns into schools Don Q! I'm just on my phone in the back of the class This is actually, I should set this up better...this is a teacher who Showing gun safety in the class and he went off his gun went off. Yeah, the guy's a cop to hit the ceiling Bric-a-chés you know piece of fragment hits a kid here's the kid and his dad I'm just on my phone in the back of the car now that right there is enough You're in school Why are you in the back of the class on your phone? Just as a small small minor nobody asked them anything small minor nitpick What are you doing in school if you're just in the back on your phone okay, and then oh

47:29 I hear a loud boom, I don't know what it was at first. And everyone's all laughing and saying stuff and I notice that it is the gun that went off And then my friend said, oh you got shot. And I was just laughing because I didn't even like feel anything because it happened so fast and then I look at my shirt like that and there's a Like blood on my shirt, and then I like wipe my neck kind of in a bullet fragment comes off my neck I'm highly skeptical. Yeah, I'm highly skeptical There was a bullet fragment but...I mean you gotta think

48:06 For this to happen, is it just right on cue? Is it just hey let's just- Hey! Who's gonna shoot one off in the class so we can show that its a bad idea?! I'll do it boss. We'll do it. Yeah, now you have this argument you can say well a teacher should have guns that's what Trump says he's an idiot because here's the teacher with the gun who is a cop too and he can't even control the gun they shot it off accidentally so this is a bad idea if you got a teacher who's actually a cop He knows how to use a gun and he can't do it How could a regular teacher do it? And the kid was black! They should've added some racial element So much they miss always

47:29 I hear a loud boom, I don't know what it was at first. And everyone's all laughing and saying stuff and I notice that it is the gun that went off And then my friend said, oh you got shot. And I was just laughing because I didn't even like feel anything because it happened so fast and then I look at my shirt like that and there's a Like blood on my shirt, and then I like wipe my neck kind of in a bullet fragment comes off my neck I'm highly skeptical. Yeah, I'm highly skeptical There was a bullet fragment but...I mean you gotta think

48:06 For this to happen, is it just right on cue? Is it just hey let's just- Hey! Who's gonna shoot one off in the class so we can show that its a bad idea?! I'll do it boss. We'll do it. Yeah, now you have this argument you can say well a teacher should have guns that's what Trump says he's an idiot because here's the teacher with the gun who is a cop too and he can't even control the gun they shot it off accidentally so this is a bad idea if you got a teacher who's actually a cop He knows how to use a gun and he can't do it How could a regular teacher do it? And the kid was black! They should've added some racial element So much they miss always

48:46 Well, they always miss something but they figure it's good enough Yeah, it's all part of this of the scheme just to shut down any of these any opposition. It's not gonna work well The sad thing is that you know we have less and less talk about The SSRIs and drugs that are making kids crazy And yes that goes back to Columbine there's no conversation combo No conversation about that at all although Samantha B Her show is still on the air. I didn't realize that. Yeah, surprisingly. Still on the air She had a segment about mental health and the alt-right and white men boys kids That was so astonishing

49:30 I cut it down. It was very long, I cut down all the funny little clips that she goes to they're completely unnecessary and actually its kind of better when you just hear almost a full read of what she's trying to communicate. Its a little long but I did want to listen to it because its really shows you the the thinking and I think it's scary, it's scary thinking. Right now the party that voted over 50 times to weaken mental health care is suddenly very concerned about mental health care not like concerned in a sense of funding or doing anything about but concerned enough to use as distraction. A sicko like this guy he was a sick

50:09 guy. A lunatic kid gone crazy at a poster trial for a mentally deranged individual, a deranged madman this insane monster this individual was nuts if we keep screaming that he's crazy everyone will forget that he did this with a gun that no one should ever have in the first place now look there you see this is very well done that she's turning it around where we're here on the sidelines saying hey think about crazy, think about what what's making these people this way and she turns it around and says oh no that's the distraction. It should be about guns which nobody should have and she clarifies that its her own opinion. We all know how I feel about guns. I hate them and I want to melt them down into jewelry for transgender vegans

50:56 for more funding for mental health especially for my writers every last one of whom has seasonal affective disorder. Guys, please get up I promise i'll introduce you to John Oliver one day but most mass murderers aren't mentally ill only a 22% of them are that's an interesting statistic where'd she get that well there's a difference between being mentally ill and being on antidepressants what did she go back in her she said most mass murderers didn't she let me see what you Come on, back it up.

51:43 Hmm mass shooters different than mass murders. I would say ball mass murderers are mentally ill, but okay? I would think so no But again it's about the distraction only ill Only about 22% of them are that means the other 78 percent are just hateful assholes and yes Nicholas Cruz was mentally ill but entirely of which we have Absolutely no proof more or less than any other case Have we seen a report that said he was mentally ill No, he was going to therapy. She's contradicting herself actually separate from that He was also a violent bigot Nicholas Cruz wasn't the only mass shooter to hold racist views in fact It shows Instagram and all this stuff And he's wearing the MAGA hat Law Center has developed a pro this is this is what's interesting Southern Poverty Law Center Is in her show now Nicholas Cruz was mentally ill but entirely separate from that

52:39 also a violent bigot. Nicholas Cruz wasn't the only mass shooter to hold racist views, in fact the Southern Poverty Law Center has developed a profile for what they call alt-right killers. This is good! Alt right went from a media you know kind of media online stories to uh... to a group of killers Alt-right, what'd she say? Alt-right murderers is that what she said? Back it up. Yeah this is insane. A violent bigot. Nicholas Cruz wasn't the only mass shooter to hold racist views in fact the Southern Poverty Law Center has developed a profile for what they call alt right killers. Alt right killers there you go beautiful! Young white men characterized by their indoctrination into alt right ideology and their appreciation of Rick and Morty on a level that you couldn't possibly get

53:29 Although funny, it's scary to say these things. Just because they consider themselves alt-right now they're killers? I think that is taking it a bit far So far the SPLC has identified 13 alt right killers who have murdered or injured over 100 people This bakers dozen of nightmares includes Dylan Roof, Elliot Roger and Charlottesville killer James Alex Field But where are these young angry white men becoming radicalized? The internet. On a podcast These people are basically White ISIS, except more effective That's right! The only thing that white supremacists are actually better at than brown people is terrorism and wearing shorts with the most pockets

54:13 But I am not saying that every young man who gets red-pilled is being radicalized. Oh wait, no yes i am because that's what being red-pilled means! Wow! Now we've gone from alt right white guys, alt white they're killers and now it's the guy you've been red pilled ie you may not agree with the current agenda When it comes to online radicalization, red pillars don't always start off wanting to burn down the world. Maybe they're just looking for dating tips! Many of these communities are self-labeled incels short for involuntarily celibate I mean sure okay i call myself a big calm if short for Big Call The Midwife fan which is really my favorite online community

55:04 Incels have a lot to say about women, who they call roasties. Which I guess is a slur about how cis women's genitals look like roast beef? Well... Jokes on them because my vagina is actually a fully functioning gelato shop! It's way too cold in there and everyone tells me the ones in Italy are better. So this was a trick that was learned on the John Stewart show that's used also by Colbert to less extent, but mostly by what's his name the British guy Oliver which is you get as you start going into these these Serious comments. You lighten it up with something That's extremely off the topic and very funny day to relax the audience So they're more susceptible to more of the propaganda right? You throw the joke in and then you throw in another piece of horrible propaganda

56:00 Yeah, exactly although this joke was pretty funny Well that all the jokes are pretty funny. That's what these people are their comics yes You know they can be funny yeah But I don't like the idea of propagandists being comics do you think that this is done on purpose? It's a it's a formula right but if the formula did Samantha Bee say how can I mind-control people oh No. Okay, it's just a formula that works and gets laughs? Well I hope not! They have these opinions which they have amongst themselves are extremists... anti-american is the way i see it but I could be extreme by saying that

56:41 And they want to get these opinions out and they know they're harsh. And so, they back off on the harshness with this very funny material like you just said that's pretty funny it's all pretty funny and they can keep you relaxed enough to keep hearing the bull crap that their delivering most of which is bull crap period! Let's listen to another minute. Functioning gelato shop It's way too cold in there and everyone tells me the ones in Italy are better Albright mass killers aren't isolated. They grow out of online communities where people idolize Santa Barbara killer Elliot Roger, film message board after message board with praise for school shootings and photoshop Dylan Roof's haircut onto their avatars

57:27 To be clear, these are people who don't know what they're saying. Bullcrap! Look... These kinds of online communities are where Nicholas Cruz, Elliot Rodger and a lot of mass shooters were made Isn't it fun to imagine a glorious world where we take that threat as seriously as we take Muslim refugees and aggressively peaceful black people? Before an alt-right shooter starts mass shooting, he's just an angry white man who hates women and people of color. And being angry and hateful is not a mental illness! In fact some days it feels like it's as American as apple pie

58:05 These people lost their lives to the alt-right. Oh yeah, anti Trump, anti America If we want to prevent more deaths We have not just treat mental illness but fight hate Therapists can't cure hundreds of years of misogyny and racism And we shouldn't ask them too So you know what? In the meantime Let's just do whatever the fuck Emma and her friends tell us to do We'll be right back So that was you know, she says let's fight hate but if you really break that down That was hate filled completely from beginning to end and racist again. Racist is such a bad message Oh Ben it's it's along the same lines of yeah We were cyber attacked fact everybody knows it now It's just white men suck balls

58:51 They all hate women. They hate women, we can't get laid... We're incels! Involuntary celibate. I'd never heard of this term. Incels? Involuntary celibates. Who comes up with this crap?! We'll be long gone but i'm going to tell you this will have effects This has effects, this kind of hate speech. Yeah it's a divisive material extremely so And the subtlety, which has to be... We could listen to the whole clip again. I don't want to but we could listen to the whole clip again and you'd hear the subtleties that are actually propaganda in themselves where for example she says that mass murderers are not insane Yeah only 22% are mentally ill Only 22 percent of mass murderers are mentally ill Are you kidding me?

59:50 Yeah, she didn't even say school shooters. It was just mass killers. Mass murderers! No they're sane as a... Makes nothing but sense And she slips that in which is just nonsense it was it was a work of art But I that's why I stopped watching her because I get so annoyed by it You get triggered yeah? I get triggered by the fact that I'm watching someone trying to pull one over And I don't consider it funny and every time she does one of those aside jokes, which is Oliver does the same thing.

1:00:29 And there's a formula for it. You throw this material in and it lightens up the person you laugh at, which makes you open for the next salvo of constant nonsense. It just... People cite what John Oliver said about this on The Last Show! This guy is a comic are you kidding me? No he single-handedly raised awareness for net neutrality John He is the guy Right, perfect example His net neutrality argument was completely bogus. But it's using the same tricks that again all stem back to the Jon Stewart show where they were developed, it's almost like a...

1:09:33 So I brought up that page yesterday with all intents to fix it and so what I... Oh, the donation page? Yes. Okay He's got this stickers thing is funny but the other one is off is that there was another piece that was wrong and had to rewrite it a little bit And people can go donate right now just something in then you'll see what we're talking about Because it'll pop up at the end. And so then I said, well you know when I open Dreamweaver and... Wait a minute wait wait wait! Dreamweaver? Yeah You sure its not front page? So very funny Anyway Dreamweaver is funny too believe me What do you use to edit your webpages

1:10:26 I don't edit anything. I use my out my freedom controller creates them automatically, and it was you get HTML that only to do that Dreamweaver Again, what do you use to edit your web pages? So anyway I wasn't gonna do it because meanwhile MailChimp has these two new things that they wanted me to check out. One was create a landing page and the other one was create an ad. And I said well this could be an ad or a landing page. It's what it kind of looks like so it's kinda a landing page No, it's like the ad is a whole customized thing for getting an ad into Facebook. Oh gosh! And then the landing page I couldn't figure out heads or tails what they were trying to accomplish. They're probably trying to show some kind of click-through metric or some kind of conversion metric? I have no idea all i know that the landing page was I think was to get people

1:11:21 Get on your mailing list. Whatever the case, I was so disappointed and got disheartened that I never worked on the page. I never opened Dreamweaver. We had a helicopter crash in New York City Yes And of course saw the video and heard...I have some standing. I've been piloting rotorcraft for 10 years now? 12 years? A long time And I saw, you know it seemed like procedures were kind of being followed. Engine failure, mayday call, he's in autorotation but very poor as floats are deployed the doors are open these are all standard procedure open the doors floats if you got them but he had no flare

1:12:11 The FLARE, the pilot did not flare properly. They smacked the water hard which would have... I mean it could have been a perfect water landing and then they topple over and i guess because of the types of harnesses they were using during a photo flight where maybe the doors were open all the time clearly had poor instruction on how to release the harness which is one twist And of course, you know you've got almost freezing water so You don't have a lot of time. So very sad day wrecker as we say in the aviation business But the news of how this happened is bullcrap. What they showed, the This

1:13:14 was a manual throttle lever that could have retarded the engine, but these things are slaved to... I mean you no longer use those. They're all connected to your collective which has the throttle. You twist the collective which is this stick in the middle for people who don't know what it is you twist that to control the engine RPMs and, you know it's... The servo would have pushed it right back if in any case it would not have stalled the engine. The pilot would just been able to rev it back up

1:13:52 There is an emergency fuel cutoff on the, and I know this helicopter. I've flown it the AS350B And it's on the collective itself It's a switch and its...it has a trigger guard in there I mean there's no way if a bag wrapped around that the helicopter would have been making some crazy moves So this just not true At least, you know the story they say that's what the pilot said I'm surprised if I spoke to them at all but it's not true. So I don't know what happened No no so I don't understand why any Airmen would even suggest that and then what they beat with the news showed was had nothing To do with it well now we've done. I think we've got a breakthrough here Because your knowledgeable We've proven that the news media is full of crap. Yes gee

1:14:41 1016 episodes and we've done it finally proof positive. Yeah Well, you know the BBC is now trying to teach kids how to spot how to spot fake news Yeah This was good Did you play the little game they made of course not? Oh So they've made a the BBC has put together an online game where you become a reporter You get your briefing you know hey, it's I did was so so long and so stupid. I didn't pull any clips from it But you have to now go and figure out how do you how do you? Determine what is real news in fake news, and they have probably six or seven Videos on this BBC website a cut one down

1:15:26 That kind of gives you the idea of what they think, A. What is fake news? What constitutes fake news? So the definition by itself which actually...what do you think fake news is John? What does that..what is fake news? I think it's a variety of things and I believe that the definition of fake news is somewhat vague But, and I don't think it's a generally accepted definition. Some people see fake news... the most extremist opinion is that fake news is something that was created out of the blue to go into the mainstream as there's no basis in truth to any of it. That's classic fake news. Hoax would be another word for that?

1:16:11 Then I think slanted stories that leave out important facts, I personally think is fake news. A mission of facts yeah Which is what we talk about mostly on this show and there's a lot of stuff that no it's just a real story Yes its' a real story but the way you're telling it You just gave us a good example with the helicopter Well By the strongest definition you could say that was fake news But there wasn't any fake news in so far as the helicopter crash didn't happen It did The BBC categorizes fake news as news that is untrue, then I believe in this clip they also say it can also be by omission but there it only is fake news if its untrue or something has omitted and therefore distorting the truth for political or commercial gain. They have a very distinct definition of it which is...I think the first time anyone's really defined it that way which is yeah I don't think what do you think?

1:17:13 I like the definition because there's a fake new style which is just good for the LOLs. The LULZ? The lulz, uh... Which has got no- you know There's no political or commercial gain involved it's just some jokers having fun That's a parody or...? It's a hoax A hoax Let's listen to their child indoctrination video Woohoo! Boom cha Come on kids, boom, we're also here. Fake news We think it's a problem I think fake news is a problem because it can influence how people make decisions It leaves me feeling like I don't know who to believe And it worries me that people are growing up misinformed and if we're misinformed How can you understand the world around us? I think there's a problem because it leads to confusion and we begin to mistrust all new sources Now

1:18:09 During this really hit beat there were large sections where it's just the beat which I cut out And they have big words big yellow words, you know white words just To tell you what it is. You know fake news that's what it is But what exactly is it? Fake news is lies and propaganda told for a political or commercial purpose which deploys digital technology, social media new networks to go viral. To reach around the world and influence millions of people. I knew that would trigger you! That's the BBC man that's their head of news saying this

1:18:47 It's bullcrap. So in other words, what he is saying is that if one of these bogus stories I will mention one of them, I've been working on it and haven't gotten anywhere If you remember was the Washington Post? It was about how Trump was selling off some art or something to the story to the Guggenheim He wanted in exchange he wanted a golden toilet that they had an exhibit. No, that's what they gave him They gave him the game of Golden Toilet said this was played as the straight news story to make them look like an idiot and So I contacted the public relations department there and they refused to discuss it would they with at least corroborate it nope ha

1:19:34 That's interesting. So I believe this story was made up and the Guggenheim is like coy about it because they don't want to get their tit in a ringer because they rely on donations like we do from people that fund this thing Yeah, except we don't edit ourselves like that like they do but okay No, we don't But we have Same intent that they have. They have a museum we don't Look at what's in this show where museum pieces? What are you talking about we have So I believe that's a fake news story it's in the newspaper so it doesn't qualify under the BBC Yeah, especially because you know It only is only fake news if it then is used on social media to create memes and go viral

1:20:25 Yeah, which means... Although this didn't attempt to go viral. You know because but it's the Trump stuff is like you know people are getting sick of it I think we also have to note that something can also go viral on television news And we see that all the time. Well, let's continue this is I love this little bit the BBC indoctrinating the kids. propaganda told for a political or commercial purpose which deploys digital technology social media new networks to go viral to reach around the world and influence millions of people very very quickly Why not just call it propaganda then? I mean if it's propaganda that uses online networks Just call it what it is propaganda

1:21:08 Fake news is one of those phrases of the moment, but essentially we're talking about news stories information that people are deliberately trying to distort for political advantage or commercial advantage. For example trying to get profit or make a profit out of a situation Well that's all well there you go Isn't that native advertising? No, that's what CNN and MSNBC and Fox News are. They all exploit stories put their own slant on it for commercial gain for ratings so yeah news is fake news by your definition

1:21:48 So what about news that's just wrong, like when someone has just made a mistake? Mistakes can be made. Journalists sometimes make mistakes too. Or sometimes you might be reading a story and the headline could be misleading or a photo in that story could have been changed in some way it might even have been changed to make you laugh, to make you want to share it These stories we wouldn't necessarily call fake news but they are misleading in some ways so if fake or false stories tell us something is real when its actually not What about when someone tells us something is fake or false, when it's actually real and true?

1:22:25 We need to be very careful about the misuse of the phrase fake news. If you're a politician who wants to close down debate, then you might use the phrase fake news because you don't want people to ask you questions about something uncomfortable. That's a legitimate area for democratic inquiry so it is really important that we are clear what fake news does and doesn't mean You're feeling confused? I'm feeling confused right there are all these words Fake News Hoaxes Spin But in the end just Be Aware that not everything you see online is completely true. It might be helpful to think of it, not just in black and white terms but there's lots of different ways that a story might be misleading or inaccurate in my case been and in all these situations its helpful to step back and just ask yourself if this likely to be true does this feel right before you go on and share on social media and pass our story along. Okay I got it! You gotta sit back

1:23:19 Check yourself, make sure it feels right before you post it on social media. Wow! Not a mention of bias anywhere in this fine instructional video by the Beeb? I just don't think that's simple. I think this is very harmful. I don't think this is a good idea to teach it this way No, I agree. I'm 100% with ya on this. This simplification is not really a positive thing. Alright... Let's talk about this... Let's talk about the dog Really? I avoided this story. Well, I got the second part because it reminds me...I think we were dealing with a random number event. Oh okay

1:24:09 Because the dog thing happened and then the next day another dog thing happen and i suspect if you know it doesn't make some serious changes of always said this to get a speeding ticket. Change all your habits your driving habits immediately cuz otherwise gonna get another one in there maybe a third one, This is the way the world operates, it's a random number theory. Because these things happen in bunches and so United didn't do anything so they had this situation reoccur and I want to play dogs on United 1, this is the ABC report. Just 24 hours after apologizing for what happened to one family's dog on a plane, United now making headlines for yet another mistake. Another dog supposed to be brought to Kansas City but where did that dog end up? Here's ABC's Lindsay Davis now

1:24:58 Tonight, new woes for United after it mistakenly put this dog Ergo on a 12-hour flight to Japan. Kara Swindle was with her family flying from Oregon to Kansas City but when she got to the cargo facility to pick up her German Shepherd she was given a Great Dane instead. He's probably so scared and freaked out Probably hurting too because he doesn't have his medicine now either. She says the airline told her the dogs were accidentally put into the wrong travel kennels ergo will now be flying back first class to Kansas tomorrow night. Oh brother, I stopped it there what do you mean he's flying back first-class? He's in a kennel in The Hold Do they have a special section down there? Well... I got a note from producer Bob

1:25:44 who say I just booked a business class ticket with Australian Airlines. The system online said there were five free seats, so went to go select my seat only two were available. I call them up they say yeah the other seats are blocked for passengers with pets even though they haven't booked yet they have a number of business-class seats that they book next to each other or you know in tandem for apparently a lot of passengers who travel with pets and want to separate seat for their pet. Oh God let's finish this report with dogs on United too. But United's apology for this mistake comes after the tragic death of this puppy Coquito on a flight from Houston to New York on Monday he is a member of our family, The family and other passengers said that the flight attendant demanded the puppies carry-on case be moved from

1:26:35 under the seat in front of them into the overhead bin. We're like, it's a dog! It's a dog and she's like it doesn't matter you still have to put it up there when the plane landed at LaGuardia after three hours the Castanos discovered Coquito's body she took him out and opened the thing and then he got the dog Tonight, United says their flight attendant quote did not hear or understand there was a dog in the bag and did not knowingly place the dog in the overhead bin. Lindsay Davis with us live from LaGuardia tonight and Lindsay, United Airlines now announcing changes to make sure something like this doesn't happen again? Exactly right David. As of April they plan to start issuing bright colored bag tags for customers who are traveling with an animal inside the cabin They say that way as soon as a flight attendant sees those tags they're gonna know there's an animal inside that bag We've also just heard from United they say that they have fully refunded the passengers tickets and pet fees It's not clear if it has going to be enough David

1:27:35 Lindsay Davis, thank you. That was a French bulldog they're worth about $1,000 bucks apiece that dog so they're definitely getting their ticket back is not enough to say the least but this latest thing with United this is the only reason I'm playing this story because I'm so irked by this is the lying that they're starting to do now there stewardesses oh I didn't understand it where'd they said? They couldn't speak English let's go back and play this little girl whose dog it was Dogs on United Iso. And we're like, it's a dog it's a dog and she's like It doesn't matter you still have to put it up there Oh yeah no that's bullshit Does that sound like somebody who can't understand what she is saying? No but... I can't understand the words she's saying But what was interesting To me Tina picked me at the airport yesterday and she said oh this dog story And I said uh hmm She said well ya know That's horrible they couldn't breathe up there I said whoa whoa stop hold on a second

1:28:26 The overhead bin, there's no reason. I mean it's all sad and it's all messed up but there is no reason that dog wouldn't be alive. I think the dog just died of a heart attack or fear you know being shut-up in that space but not any other reason. No, that's not true. The dog could have died under the seat French bulldog...I think the dog would have died under the seat because French Bulldogs genetically have a breathing problem and they commonly suffocate and die Just for no good reason? Well, no there's usually good reason. They're pushed... shoved in an overhead! Yeah that's not good That's not good So I don't know why you're taking the side of the United People? I'm NOT taking this side of the United People at all What i'm saying is the way the story was presented The illusion was created that the dog suffocated because it was in the overhead bin He did My point was the dog probably would have suffered underneath the seat Would've died underneath the seat as well

1:29:26 Probably. Well, I would assume they take him out once in a while...I also would also assume that during the flight they would open up and take a look. That question has not been asked or answered! Why? It's not a good story. Tell me why it is obvious first thing i'd ask what you would you take to dog down during the flight why wouldn't you it's not a good story it's just not now well I I would say this These people sounded to me like they had maybe never flown before and they don't know that you can go up and take stuff down during the flight. Not everybody knows you can do that, not everyone's experienced." Well, I'm glad you brought this non-story up. It's a story! It is the callousness of the current state of service in this country and United Airlines is one of the worst at it right now they've I think overtaken American as a crappy carrier. Still second place to Delta. I had a good experience on the Delta well maybe things are changing yeah I don't know

1:30:25 How was your in and out of the country experience? Ah, it was very good. Going out of the Netherlands I just checked my bag and then I called my military guy and they took me through the VIP center again And it worked Oh yeah that's beautiful Yeah, that's really good. Then I they did have a... They used to have this long time ago. They'd have a little question stand so pre-boarding there was before you board there was a pre boarding staging area we have to go and talk to an agent and the agent says you know do pack your bag yourself etc. So out of the same questions that were asked when i checked my bag but okay

1:31:04 They had that. But it was very, as I said the flight was almost empty so it wasn't a hassle. Arriving...I gotta try this next time Tina and I arrive on international I have a feeling that these... so the way it is in Austin, we're building this international terminal and the reason it had to be built specifically for the 747s. We didn't have any gateways or anything that fit them and this was a 767 So you get off the plane there's this jetway that you walk for 10 minutes because you're essentially walking through a construction site You don't see it And then you go down the stairs and that's the very small international arrivals area which has your baggage claim right there, and the six or seven different customs border patrol stands. These days you can do your immigration if you have the app you can go to a kiosk on

1:32:00 But then on the right is the global entry which I paid 500 bucks for, had to hold an interview, had to go to Dallas all this bullcrap just to get that. And what I'd like to try, just... In fact, I don't think it makes any difference if you have global entry or not. You never have to show your card, you just scan your passport there's nothing on the ticket that rolls out that indicates a global entry number or trusted traveler number and just recognize your passport, you're answering the same questions no, I'm not bringing anything illegal in and then it prints it out with your picture which is never of my face because pretty much gets my Adam's apple each time, the camera

1:32:39 I think that you can just put your regular passport in there. I don't think you have to have a global entry, I want someone to try it and if someone doesn't do it before we travel then we're gonna try it. Well apparently you've already tried because they say they never asked for the global entry card! Well I don't know somehow the global entry is in the database when scans my passport and says ah he's good to go... I don't think so! That's exactly my point, I don't think so. I think it's a big bullcrap scam Well, we know it is because whenever I travel with Tina we both get pre-checked. She does not have a trusted traveler number she has a very high FICO score maybe that's part of it That's reason enough But when I travel alone with my trusted traveler number with my global entry card No no pre check the whole thing is sketchy It's very sketchy but it did go pretty quickly so that was I had nothing to complain about this time

1:33:41 Alright, well let's take a look at what we got. I do want to do another segment of the show besides the phrase from The Shays and this stems from...this is a progressive commercial. Are you in the insurance company? Yeah, the insurance company. They have a series of commercials they do with different people...they have the little gecko, they used to have the caveman. They're running about 10 parallel storylines. You just mentioned three different insurance companies The Gecko is for GEICO. The guy who appears is Allstate

1:34:17 and this is apparently... No, no. I'm talking about Jamie and Flo. Yeah, Flo was with Progressive? Yeah. The other one's Jamie. Okay but the other two are different companies. Right you're right there's Geico that's Geico i'm thinking about yeah Anyway, there's a bunch but I'm confused. I don't know why. I don't have these companies but I like the new progressive one where they have these people they've only done two of them but they do some ludicrous scene and then they kick over to the plug at the end right? But the ludicrous scene is what i'm thinking about would be an interesting thing to do on this show because we have such a wide variety of demos that listen to the show And this is the progressive ad about becoming your parents

1:35:03 Well, like most of you I just bought a house Now i'm turning into my dad. I text him full sun and post. I refer to every child as chief this hat was free What am I supposed to do not wear it next thing? You know i'm telling strangers defense wins championships well It does why is the door open are we trying air condition the whole neighborhood at least I bundled home and auto on an internet website progressive.com Progressive can't save you from becoming your parents but we can save you money when you bundle all in auto I mean why would I replace this it's not broken So almost sounds like a pharma ad really. Well, it's the ad goes on with all these things It is what you know becoming your parents and this and I realize there are some funny memes involved with this including the one About the shirt. I mean get off my lawn is one of the classics which isn't in there but it's like I call every children I meet chief

1:35:55 I mean really cracked me up because, I don't do that but i can imagine someone just some little farts saying hey chief you know to every kid he ever meets and why should I get rid of this reminds me of my phone. I bitch and moan about why people get new phones when I have a good phone thats been...I've had it for five years. So what are you saying? I'm well my parents never had cell phones for I can't say that becoming my parents because i keep like myself on so old but I think there's a bunch of these that would be nice to have a nice little list and if anyone has any idea something that they've decided you're wearing a cardigan or whatever stupid thing are doing that reminds them of their parents I'd like the document and you feel that this is a meme that will be deployed within advertising too

1:36:46 No. Target the demo? This is something, no I never said that what i said is that amused by the meme Sure sure sure I'm just asking and I would like to it's like our phrase from the Shays meme which we do occasionally uh-huh I would like to get people to start thinking in these terms and give us some of these because I realize when the woman says I got this free hat why wouldn't I wear it It's kind of old fogeyish Very But I never thought about it until I saw this ad how surrounded we are by these. Well, so give me some more examples that weren't in this ad what to get off my lawn is the main one which is not in that ad The cardigan they didn't talk about that even though they were wearing funny funny clothes This I don't know That's what I want to know I want to dig some of these up and see if we're employing them Do you do anything? They've reminds you of your parents

1:37:45 Well, I think all new parents or old parents have opened their mouth at some point directed towards their children and your parent come out. Your daddy or mom comes out but that's more like my mama go Adam Clark Curry! And so that would be you're in trouble and so I would do that Christina Valerie Curry yeah you do that kind of stuff Right, but it doesn't necessarily have to be just about parenting. For example get off my lawn is not about parenting it's about other kids or get the baseball goes in the backyard well if you had hit into the back yard that's mine now this kind of thing or there are other kinds of grumpy old man stuff

1:38:31 Yeah, you know I think you're more suited to come up with those and judge them as they come in. No! I'm asking the audience because i'm not suited that's the point. I don't remember except for get off my lawn which wasn't even a meme I ever used but when I started hearing of the guy saying it calls every kid chief or when I was a kid cracked me up well you know what? I've been looking at The Troll Room and not a single idea has come through so I don't know if this is going to be... Well The Troll Room doesn't have our older audience Maybe no one will come up with anything. I thought another funny one in that bit was what? What are we gonna air-condition the whole neighborhood? Oh, yeah You're trying to cool down the whole of all my parents may have said that at one point okay Okay, it's just a bitch just a thought well here's one if there's a fail It's a fail here's one The kids don't don't hit and don't know anymore sticks and stones may break my bones But words will never hurt me

1:39:29 So that death fell by the wayside before we started this show 10 years ago. Yeah, words matter they do hurt it's horrible yeah well we'll see I'm not sure if it's gonna work very well but I just thought I'd throw it out okay Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia so we had this poisoning Russia and this one smells really bad not the poison itself but the whole story and we probably should just start off with a quick little The statement here from Prime Minister Theresa May it is essential that we now come together with our allies to defend our security To stand up for our values And to send a clear message to those who would seek to undermine them

1:40:18 This morning I chaired a further meeting of the National Security Council, where we agreed immediate actions to dismantle the Russian espionage network in the UK. Urgent work to develop new powers to tackle all forms of hostile state activity and ensure that those seeking to carry out such activity cannot enter the UK." has spies in other countries and every country has about 90% of them read I know this because of my uncle. 90 percent of them are registered as foreign agents, known agents this is very common it's not discussed often but it's very common

1:40:57 There's always, and that's what she's talking about here. There is always a percentage of unregistered spooks and they know exactly who they are too but they're just not registered. A lot of cases there will be journalists? Yep! Most cases I'd say there'll be journalists Well i think most cases would be diplomats Yes, civilians in the embassy stuff like that and additional steps to suspend all planned high-level contacts between the United Kingdom and the Russian Federation. Let me start with the immediate actions Mr Speaker, The House will recall that following the murder of Mr Litvinenko, The UK expelled four diplomats

1:41:40 Under the Vienna Convention, the United Kingdom will now expel 23 Russian diplomats who have been identified as undeclared intelligence officers. They have just one week to leave. This will be the single biggest expulsion for over 30 years and it reflects the fact that this is not the first time that the Russian state has acted against our country Through these expulsions, we will fundamentally degrade Russian intelligence capability in the UK for years to come. And if they seek to rebuild it, we will prevent them from doing so." So this is all very political. These are political moves I'm pretty sure that Theresa May would not do this without express written consent from our State Department Maybe that's part of why Tillerson has gone? I'm not so sure

1:42:33 But what puzzles me is the poison itself. I have a little backgrounder. In Parliament, high drama. Britain's Prime Minister pointing at Russia It is now clear that Mr Skripal and his daughter were poisoned with a military grade nerve agent of the type developed by Russia It's called Novichok developed by the Soviets in the 1970s used as a fine powder it can cause suffocation and heart failure within a minute And it's eight times more deadly than VX

1:43:14 The nerve agent used to kill Kim Jong-un's half brother in a brazen airport attack. The government has concluded that it is highly likely that Russia was responsible. Russia denies it, though former KGB agent now President Putin told Russian viewers last night there's one thing he can't forgive betrayal he says Skripal worked for British intelligence revenge a clear motive May is demanding answers by tomorrow weighing sanctions against Russia Skripal and his daughter are still fighting for their lives. I looked into this Novichok, and this is what you haven't heard much about... Detection laboratory in the UK This is Porton Down we know a little bit about this outfit because that is where the chemical weapons that were supposedly used by Assad against his own people were sent when Obama had put the red line in the sand

1:44:16 When they said, no sorry this is not at all something that would have come from Assad. That's when Obama pulled back and said we're not going to do the whole red line thing as their trusted source I guess is what I'm saying Dr. Robin Black, head of the detection laboratory in 2016 wrote the following about this so-called Novichok's which is a funny name by itself In recent years there has been much speculation that a fourth generation of nerve agents Novichoks in parentheses newcomer was developed in Russia you see it's just kind of like

1:44:53 a name for a whole bunch of possible new nerve agents, the newcomers, the Novichoks. Was developed in Russia beginning in the 70s as part of the Foliant program with the aim of finding agents that would compromise defensive countermeasures Information on these compounds has been sparse in the public domain mostly originating from a dissident Russian military chemist Vilmizrazhnev No independent confirmation of the structure or the properties of such compounds has been published So they may not know themselves exactly what it is, but yet the British government here is claiming that within a day they can identify this as a Novichok. It had to be Russia! The Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons OPCW we hear a lot about them. It's a UN body you know they're the ones that keep claiming bullcrap about what's being used... Yes, we actually have a listener in that organization Oh? We do?

1:45:49 We have the Scientific Advisory Board of the OPCW who said the following, Regarding new toxic chemicals not listed in the annex on chemicals but which may nevertheless pose a risk to the Convention, the SAB makes reference to Novichok. The name Novichok is used in a publication of a former Soviet scientist who reported investigating a new class of nerve agents suitable for use as binary chemical weapons. The SAB states that it has insufficient information to comment on the existence or properties of Novichoks and this from 2013

1:46:32 This is not this isn't just not true. They could not have analyzed this and come up with this this quickly at least not according to open openly available records information from these organizations who kind of published this stuff and if it's binary is definitely Not true one should be here, and this is a Soviet scientist the only real evidence of the Novichok was this testimony from this ex-scientist miznyanov Here's what he actually wrote. One should be mindful that the chemical components or precursors of A-232, or its binary version Novachok-5 are ordinary organophosphates that can be made at commercial chemical companies that manufacture such products as fertilizers and pesticides." Right So somewhere someone is talking some real bull crap about this

1:47:31 Well, I'm sure there's bull crap flying. I think a lot of this stems from a comment that Putin made at one of his press conferences which i have Which is the Putin kick-the-bucket comment. Kick the bucket? Skripal was arrested in Moscow in 2006 then sent to Britain in 2010 in a spy swap. At the time Vladimir Putin issued a chilling threat. Traitors will kick the bucket, trust me he said. Okay now the problem I have with this...I don't have a Russian confirmation that's what he said Is there actually is actually a term? Kick-the-bucket in Russian? That was the translation

1:48:14 I doubt it. It's probably just some sort of a, what it means whatever he said there may be a phrase he used. I don't know maybe a Russian listener can tell us or producer but it seems to me if I'm not mistaken yeah traitors will kick the bucket but if you do a spy swap in other words we give you one of the guys that you really want and we want one of these guys back the guy that you have in prison Yeah That...that supposed to be the end of it You can't do the spy swap and then shoot the guy that they gave away back in the back of their head as he's entering the other side. I mean, it's just not... That's not fair! It's just not how you roll. That's not how Spycraft works. Or then you could just shoot the guy that they gave to Russians too if you're gonna play that game

1:49:00 So there's something very fishy about this whole thing. Well, I agree with you and the Novichok is just one element of many screwy aspects to it Of course that we all should know better This is just another diversionary tactic We're back now with the new twists in the plot to poison a Russian ex-spy and his daughter. British Prime Minister Theresa May today said it's highly likely Russia was behind the apparent assassination attempt Now, the two countries could be on the brink of full blown diplomatic crisis NBC's Bill Neely has the latest Police today still searching for traces of a lethal chemical weapon, for a trail to whoever poisoned ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal. In Parliament high drama Britain's Prime Minister pointing at Russia

1:49:48 that Mr. Skripal and his daughter were poisoned with a military-grade nerve agent of the type developed by Russia It's called Novichok, developed by the Soviets in the 1970s Is this is same clip? This is...this is same damn clip It's not completely because I have a little reason for this clip is the kicker at the end that you don't have This is your clip. It was your playing the clip that I think no, this is my clue. I don't know Screw it. Well then Mike lip is pretty good. I think it's pretty much mine's Russian expelled over attempted murder Okay, I'm gonna play yours. Have no idea what mine is all about speaking to a hushed Parliament Prime Minister Theresa May spoke with an icy fury We will not tolerate icy fury No

1:50:32 Is that her best icy fury? She gotta do better. Speaking to a hushed parliament, Prime Minister Theresa May spoke with an icy fury. We will not tolerate the threat to life of British people and others on British soil from the Russian government. British investigators say a military-grade nerve agent developed by Russia was used in the attack on a former Russian spy and his daughter. A conclusion now backed by the US intelligence community. In retaliation, May said Britain will expel 23 Russian diplomats giving them one week to leave suspend all high-level contacts with Russia take unspecified clandestine measures

1:51:09 And she added the royal family will boycott the soccer World Cup in Russia this summer. The expulsion of diplomats, the biggest here since the Cold War and echoing President Obama's kicking out 35 Russian diplomats from the US in retaliation for Russian meddling in a 2016 election Later dramatic scenes at the UN Security Council Russia in the dock Britain asking the world to stand with them and U.S Ambassador Nikki Haley backing the Brits urging the world to act If we don't take immediate concrete measures to address this now, Salisbury will not be the last place we see chemical weapons used.

1:51:47 They could be used here in New York. Yeah, or of any country that sits on this council Have they linked this to North Korea yet? Chemical weapons she changes it can't yo yeah can be you how about this It's gonna be using New York any minute any minute now since its binary should probably explain what binary means Binary means it only works in conjunction with the second agent so if these if there's Nova chocks They weren't all binary, but they didn't specifically say there was the best ones. Well how about this? How about if all of their spies have one half of the binary already in their system...

1:52:27 Yeah, and all you need is some very common like baking soda or some common other agent that you can be ideal That would be perfect. So that way you just know You can kill anybody in need easily yeah guy has an Alka-Seltzer he drops dead who still uses Alka-Seltzer There you go Just like Alka-Seltzer what's that dad? Oh I'm gonna have a bromo. I Have a headache I need some headache powder and there's another one for you They still make powders down in the South course they still make it they still make it, I'm sure When I go down to south sometimes I'll if I see goodies powders ask this aspirin powder just what it is Yeah, I usually buy them because it's like well look at this powders so you can snort it oh

1:53:20 Yeah, perfect. God rip the hell out of your nose But it's obvious we just want to blame the Russians about anything and everything any election any controversy You know cyber attack go back to my original point Which was when you do a deal and you exchange prisoners That's supposed to be the end of it as far as I know so the Russians shouldn't be killing this guy No, I don't think they did well It kind of backed backs up the thesis Although, and I'm not sure that Putin's talked about the guys kicking the bucket. No anyway, I mean they'd like to have somebody translate that clip Yeah somebody can translate that for us well the latest that the Russians are blamed for of course through their incredibly

1:54:12 well-programmed bots and their outstanding command of the English language, they've been able to convince throngs and throws of people of the the dangers of genetically modified food. GMOs are divisive and US coverage is split pro and con but in 2016 Russian state websites RT and Sputnik swamped the US Internet with entirely anti-GMO coverage. Swamped? Hold on, swamped the U.S. internet I just love it! Is that possible to just swamp the US internet only, not any other parts of it? Yeah I did it yesterday. ...state websites RT and Sputnik swamped the US internet with entirely anti-GMO coverage...I think these are important things to listen and talk about because this is news coverage this isn't this is NPR This is editorializing to an extreme

1:55:06 This according to new analysis from Iowa State researchers. Co-author Carolyn Lawrence Dill found GMOs are bad articles and she found clickbait to lure people already in a bad online mood. You could find something that's on the topic of abortion or TPP and then you would get all the way to the bottom of the article and there would be some link to are you interested in related information on GMOs? It all suggests a coordinated campaign So smart these Russians, they figured out clickbait! As co-researcher Sean Doherty So, why would Moscow taint GMO food from America? He says it could steer global consumers to non-GMO crops from Russia.

1:55:59 In general, Russian disinformation campaigns try to sow discord says NYU's Joshua Tucker. He studies Russia and social media and he sees signs that Sputnik and RT headlines try to influence not just humans but also search engines. Search engine optimization would be a concerted strategy to make it when you go to search for GMOs You actually see something from RT or you see something from Sputnik By the way, that paper on GMOs and disinformation it's called Sowing the Seeds of Skepticism. I mean, what is the point of this? This is bull crap. What's their anti-GMO campaign got to do with their own farmers? They have to farm more than before because they can't import the apples from Poland and all this other crap from all over the EU because of all these sanctions so the Russians have turned inward and decided to crank up their agriculture. They've got plenty of land and one of things that benefits apparently are these small cheese producers in Russia

1:57:03 who have always just struggled because they have to compete with the European cheeses and now you can't get the good cheese so they're making their own cheese and it's supposed to be a big boon to the Russian farmers, because they get to, you know, get a market for their cheese. Right! We don't want you eating GMO cheese But there's no GMO cheese to eat. So this something there's a big missing piece of this This article yeah, well the missing pieces Clickbait is Russian propaganda hello buzzfeed You're a Russian outfit apparently they must be I just you can blame anything on Russia now it's fantastic Well, I'd blame you on Russia That was that was totally uncalled for I don't know what it means

1:57:48 anything that's uncomfortable and not handy like daylight savings time let's blame it on Russia. It means more daylight but not much else to like studies show your risk for a heart attack increases by 10% on the Monday and Tuesday following Daylight saving time there's more salient workplace injuries also start going up along with risk for a stroke Chances of getting in a car accident rise by 17% which I think it speaks to this idea of sleep You know people do need sleep, but it's important so we kind of have to adjust here now that where you know what? I think yeah there. You go. You don't need Russians our own government out to kill us

1:58:28 Daylight saving that's what i think that's the reason I'm a little bad with my thoughts today. Oh, it makes total difference. That's because I'm off an hour. The socialist news site we talked about earlier in the show and I kind of lost my train thought what I was And that you'd like those articles because it was interesting about the Democrats being CIA agents. The thought that I lost, which I recovered a little while ago was that why are we reading this in a socialist news site? It seems to me that this would be mainstream media stuff but no! Yeah, we have to get what I what was difficult about that three-parter is it really didn't have you know You want a list like okay this guy this guy this guy this guy. This is they don't know how to box out No, they do so yeah socialists were they gonna? What are they now? They can't do a bulleted list too complicated How do I get this bullet thing to come up here on our word processor the word process? Word word perfect 4.3

1:59:25 Yeah, yeah. Word perfect. We had a couple of big pharma stories I don't think we actually covered this one but I kind of just want to play this quickie clip. We know this obviously the man who promotes himself as the pharma bro has been sentenced to prison for securities fraud pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli was sentenced seven years in prison after he was convicted last year of lying to investigators in two failed hedge funds a tearful Shkreli told the judge that he made many mistakes and apologizes to investors and what's interesting about this is when you

2:00:00 I look at the face bag, people posting articles about it like oh it was crying like a little bitch. Ha ha! Big Pharma fuckers but had nothing to do with that he there was an investor defraudment which is nothing... It was a scam He wasn't thrown in jail because he jacked up the price of the medication No not all because that's un-American we can't throw people in jail for that No jacking up the price is good But The Big Pharma story which has also A tech story is about Theranos. Theranos was the... Yeah, that one with the cutie pie that was running it and I think she was having sex with him You mean the second coming of Steve Jobs? Do you remember that? Wasn't she on like Newsweek or something She had her black turtleneck and she's like The new Steve Jobs! She's revolutionizing the

2:00:53 Yeah, the blood analysis process. Yeah I can think of like two or three guys I probably Seemingly I have that wasn't there you know she's throwing herself around a little bit for oh you mean She was thrown her so Is an accusation or just an observation? I just some just saying hmm well she had quite the board everybody was on the board and including it was a Powell and they had all kinds of military every politician who wants to be a venture capitalist was on the board yeah well I hope they all get burned she certainly is breaking news on Theranos, the SEC it's charging Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes and former Theranos president Sunny Balwani with

2:01:44 raising more than 700 million dollars from investors through an elaborate years-long fraud. They're saying that they exaggerated or made false statements about the company's technology, business and financial performance. Theranos and Holmes, the SEC says have agreed to resolve the charges against them. They are stripping her of control over the company She is going to pay a $500,000 penalty and be barred from serving as an officer or director of a public company for 10 years as well as returning the remaining 18.9 million shares, the SEC says that she obtained during the fraud and relinquished her voting control of Theranos this of course after the scandals that unfolded over a year or so where Theranos essentially made what they say were misleading

2:02:30 claims about their blood testing capabilities. So Elizabeth Holmes here in a settlement with the SEC, the SEC saying that neither Theranos nor Holmes admitted or denied the allegations in the SEC's complaint as for former president Sonny Balwani, the SEC says it'll litigate its claims against him and federal district court guys. It is If nothing else, just a remarkable turn. Just underscoring this downfall Meg of somebody who was once mentioned in the same breath as Steve Jobs. Remember it was a magazine that put Elizabeth Holmes on the cover asking that very question as to whether she was the next Steve Jobs? That's right Scott. She was this captivating figure young woman in Silicon Valley dropped out of Stanford often wore that signature black turtleneck where a lot of those comparisons were made

2:03:18 At one point I think the valuation of Theranos was pegged around $9 billion and she owned, I think about half of that. So after all this unfolded with all that remarkable reporting from John Kerry at The Wall Street Journal uncovering a lot of these sort-of false and misleading claims the company has been making really just amazing downfall of a company to watch Henry Kissinger, George Shultz. Yeah. Former Senator Sam Nunn Bill Frist Navy Admiral Gary Roughead Mattis Mad Dog Mattis on the board. Mad dog mattus! Mm-hmm former CEO of Wells Fargo Bechtel this was a real who's who

2:04:00 Yeah, that was part of the scam. But aren't board members meant to be held accountable as well? Isn't that... On public companies Well what does the SEC have to do with if they're not a public company then? The SEC is about securities. Securities don't have to be public or private. Okay gotcha. Securities fraud. Gotcha Yeah, well they could be there could be some of them could be assigned blame but it was a she was the fraudster She's not gonna even I doubt if should do more than that. If she even goes to prison No, she's not gonna go she has to pay a fine. No prison That was very clear in their report find is only half a million bucks are you kidding me? Six hundred grand Yes, or six hundred yeah for raising seven hundred come on

2:04:40 She defrauded the investors of 700 million and she has to pay that. This whole thing is... But here's what I want you to pay attention too, we just played two clips We had lots of coverage of the Pharma Bro. Very little coverage of this actual huge massive scam, this was a real big one. Billion dollars. The Pharma Bros are Pharma Bros, Pharma is different than Silicon Valley. That's right! It's protected class. Protected everything.

2:05:20 Yeah, we'll keep an eye on it. It's not gonna mean much Gary Johnson had another moment Oh Well now as you mentioned Gary Johnson I have that you gotta let me read a note just before We take a break okay because it is connected go I thought I thought of a running Johnson, then. I read it Oh Okay, Johnson first in and this is from reason TV an interview about how things went horribly wrong with him Of course we remember when he didn't know what Aleppo? What's in Aleppo was not his actual? What's an Aleppo obviously got on my knee here? There's horrible Aleppo going on yeah Obviously people remember the Aleppo moment sure how do you feel about well that was it was going to happen

2:06:08 I would hypothesize that it happened to Trump about 150 times. Yeah, all right well okay it happens to me well what do you do when something like that happens? Well they each had a billion eight so when it came to golfs they had the firepower to come back now... Wait by the way can I just ask you mean gaffes right not gofs? Thank you He said golf? How can he not even know what a gaff is that he says golf. Wow! We escaped a bullet on that one Yeah, it was all the facade That is the oddest thing... What other words common words does Gary Johnson not know? Man A goff Okay Hey man I'm big and what's a goff poor guy

2:07:03 Pro-marijuana gets out of you. Okay, so we got a marijuana donor here No wait! You're gonna read a note about Gary Johnson? Yes, what do you think I'm talking about? Oh, do i open the segment or what? Do we have a marijuana donor segment thing... no! Do I open the donation segment? You want to read a note? No, you'll open the donation segment after this Okay hold on just for the okay So go back and edit this whole thing Don't edit anything! Here's how.. okay Right, alright, black cuffs What an idiot he didn't know it was gaff instead of golf. Oh stupid Unbelievable, so the guy suggests and I went to get this before I read this note He says if possible a bar play a bong rip first to get their attention So I just so happens to have a bong I Went through the internet And I want to say a couple of things

2:07:56 If you go to Bing videos, there's also a whole slew of videos that you don't see anyplace else. They're not on YouTube they're being again being but if you go to Bing videos and you type in girl bong rip he's just like an eye-opener. So all these these some Millennials I guess are Millennials but there's all these young girls that are just Taken in so I mean it's like they have vaporizers that with the big oh, yeah. Oh the vapes are great Yeah, you know I always have a couple of bong hits on hand but we can listen to yours It is a bong rip Here's my medium bong hit and here's the short one Nice, yeah more than enough although you call them bong hit the real term is bong rip hmm? I did look into it

2:09:02 And so I'm glad that you're out of touch with that because to be honest about it, the whole thing was just when I looked at all these videos. I was disgusted there doesn't need to be people smoking so much we went on our way to try and get this stuff legalized but i don't think if they go on video and brag about you know okay just became a pet peeve and here's this note this note kind of reconfirms my complaint Dear Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, Adam Kiernan is the writer. I last donated my own Ides of March donation of $315 and 44 a few years ago along with my previous donations of 50 and 5514 all added up to 420 get it 58. Striking on this coincidence for 20 I decided i would donate 420 next time I gave

2:09:56 Alas, I have not been able to afford this level ever again. Now i have fallen into douche-dom. Give him a douche bag! So fellow producers don't wait till you can afford that illustrious executive producer spot donate today may I suggest 5420 as the ice spend too much on weed to be an executive producer donation Douchebag all the potheads with money for weed but not enough for the B-P-I-T-U. So now I'm concerned about the future of this show. I am too, very concerned

2:10:55 The guy makes a good point. Shane Zaharbek meanwhile is apparently sober, $133 and 33 cents from Aurora Oregon and he writes I beg of you a de-douching. I was called out on the...

2:13:46 I realized that i always think it's a guy. Yes, its'a woman and she is going to be damed...I hope she's on the list as old Dame. That's all she wants. Alright does that her entire note? No, I got a whole note. She says you don't need to read it but I'm gonna read anyway. Oh some of this interesting did you not have the same thing Not say, oh it's a woman so that was surprising to you? No I saw this actually. I had her name and then I read her note and noticed she wanted to be anonymous. Ah okay, you got the info backwards. Got it. Yeah so I didn't get to have that experience but I know exactly what you mean! Uh no jingles, no karma keep my name anonymous all I want for Christmas is my very own secret decoder ring It was not for the ring editor and I think I'd even bother with the dame thing but I need to be a dame And it'll be old Dame

2:14:41 Now that this amounts to the fact, now she got all the things. She says I tripped across the shore a little over year ago in one of those lovely moments in life that makes a huge difference on how you manage your stress and only kick puppies once a week now and is for throwing things at my employees well it's down to only once perhaps twice today they thank you by the way I'm grateful for the amount of work you do uh... In awe of the amount of work you do inside intelligence she goes on I think from the bottom pathway very Christmas She wants to meet up in Vancouver. Where's the note part I wanted? I'm without a clue she says that she has to remain anonymous because of Damn it, it's a long note so I'm trying to find it. Okay take your time It was a short donation segment anyway, so yeah very short maybe a little theremin will help yes, please get Daria Give me some theremin and I'll get this

2:15:50 All right, well it's not I can't find Her complaint was that she's Canadian and she doesn't trust Little Trudeau as she calls him little trudeau. No Yeah And thinks that you know keeping her name anonymous is the way to go in in the new Canada Well, she may have a good point. I failed to mention that in the new UK get more nation East part of the what Teresa May said there was You know, we're not going to allow people to come into our country who are gonna cause a ruckus. But in the wording of it says who are suspected now so there's a lot of...

2:16:33 Well the Canadian woman that I'm in contact with is a politician Vancouver Lauren Southern Yes, she tried to meet up with some people in the UK and they blocked her entry and told her to get the hell out Yeah, that was what's-the-guy's name Tommy? What's his face? You know one of our producers In Israel is a big fan And he's always getting called out on Twitter for you know that guy Tommy. What's this nice name? There's some Clayton or something. Yeah, he is a horrible Tommy Robinson like he's some kind of horrible guy and I'm conflicted! I have never really looked into the guy doesn't every video i've seen is not clippable it's uninteresting but for some reason this guys really controversial and I'm not sure why? I'm sure our Sir Jono... He's part of a clique of people in the UK who

2:17:29 excoriate the Muslims. There is an anti-Muslim group and Lauren was gonna go down, I guess have dinner with him or meet up with them or sort of go to one of their events or something. Yeah interview her! And she because it was his name involved in the deal that they said no you can't come in can't come into the UK you Canadian you horrible Canadians. Wow as part of the same kingdom even? Yes I know this is ludicrous So they've gone off the deep end there. I mean, I just wish that they would have banned Trump when they had the chance because that would have been something to talk about this is all low level stuff it's just no good we need higher level people getting banned well

2:21:20 I would appreciate keeping things anonymous for reasons that stink, but unfortunately in Candidavia they are what they are for the moment and we must tiptoe around tiny Justin and his stupidity for a while longer. When are there elections? I don't know... coming up it comes into Parliament system you know it could be anytime. Oh yeah thats true thats true In our vaccine coverage, someone sent me a fun little clip of Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. And this is about HPV and indirectly about the horrible vaccine Gardasil and we're not anti-vaxxers but Gardasil is definitely a scam and it seems to be hurting girls in particular as really not enough data to even show that its effective at all

2:22:14 And they want boys to take it and then really even if you're five years old, you should have this. You get ready for your unprotected sex kids that's what it's all about Bruce Dickinson in 2015 was talking about his bout of throat and tongue cancer that happened while he was making an album He said it really kind of felt like like a lump in his throat and then he finished the album went to see the doctor and I was Like oh crap! Yeah, you got throat cancer and luckily he's okay but he had You know, he had a very opinionated answer to the question about men getting this from conilingus which is what we've been told by... there you go. There's that fake news story that we love so much Michael Douglas who made a joke about his throat cancer

2:23:02 He later admitted it was a joke, but yet it's now in every article about HPV. It's like boys have to get the shot because oh look Michael Douglas had throat cancer from conilingus as a time traveler this is very disturbing so here he is he makes a good observation and since I've had the treatment I mean I met probably half a dozen guys my age or younger non-smoking you know not like abusing themselves anything else like that who all had this cancer. So it is really a men's health issue and- Is that from giving oral sex? I mean, there was like a speculation that that's because women have that HPV. Like Michael Douglas said that he got from... Yeah yeah well because he made the unfortunate comment about whatever it was he said you know but everybody went huh huh huh huh huh you know but in actual fact the thing about the HPV virus is

2:23:58 People don't know a great deal about it. Yes, of course it can be transmitted sexually and things like that but for example I don't mean to be flippant or anything but you would expect therefore that lesbians would have an equally high incidence of it? No their incidence is 25% less. Good point! Wow Right, that's yes. That's a very good point that I never heard and never heard that and I'm gonna give you a borderline clip for that That was so valuable well Thank you very much unexpected yeah But it is actually a little scarier when you think that hey wait a minute Why is this particular cancer getting? You know higher in men the throat cancer

2:24:53 And is it because of a... well he says the cancer, it's from HPV. But why then? Why are we getting in our throat? I mean if we're even you would think that... who knows! I don't know the ratio of cunnilingus lesbians to same sex. What's the ratio people actually have the throat cancer? I think its pretty low Oh it's all very low yeah very low Again we just don't know enough about it We do not anything. We don't know anything Nothing! We don't nothing man! Nothin' at all I had a, we should have done this earlier. A little follow-up about sexual harassment there was a very long NPR interview which is in the link to it in the show notes at nashownotes.com about male sexual harassment men being harassed by women in the workplace and out of that didn't come not a lot that came out of it regarding me but the California laws on sexual harassment are a lot more stringent than you think they would be

2:25:54 And here's a lawyer, California-based lawyer who explains this in this piece. What is the difference between what someone might perceive as sexual harassment versus what is legally sexual harassment? So in California, sexual harassment can be two things. One is quid pro quo which is sexual favors for advancement let's say. The other, sexual harassment has to be severe or pervasive. Severe meaning very bad, pervasive meaning happening all the time You know, maybe a pat on the butt to most people would be sexual harassment. In California that's not necessarily sexual harassment. Touching somebody's breast even is not always considered sexual harassment because it's not severe enough or its not happening on a consistent basis

2:26:38 A lot of times, stray comments are not considered sexual harassment. So if somebody says you have a nice body or I'd love to have sex with you doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be sexual harassment there has to be a pattern. So if a pat on the butt may not be sexual harassment how many times does somebody have to patch you on the butt before it actually is? You know, maybe in certain jurisdictions a pat on the butt would be severe enough. Here in California just one single instance like that typically is not going to be so if it was two times three times how many times there is no magic number? It's just a pattern of behavior I found that to be pretty interesting The way you'd the way its being presented as you just say hey your hair looks nice today and boom

2:27:26 sexual harassment. Yeah, you can that can happen that if you took that course that you never took because you were irresponsible well yeah at MeVio which I did take because i'm responsible uh... you would know all this because it's a course probably better off not taking the course cause of course would have made your hair stand on end But this is a lawyer saying that kind of behavior is not sexual harassment. I agree with him, but you go around... What did Franken really do? Well exactly! This is my point

2:28:02 There's no legal case against a lot of these accusations. It has to be a pattern, so there are a lot of patterns for sure and there are cases that are real but yeah I mean was Franken a pattern? Is it a pattern every day every week every month every 10 days? He is not working with this woman all the time The one he harassed or took pictures of And he wasn't her supervisor No quid pro quo Right, supervisors the real problem. Yeah and yeah he was just railroaded by the women then they put a woman in his place I thought it was fantastic that's well done

2:28:40 And then well done suckered in the rest of this piece that you know just talk about why is there not a lot known about men being harassed typically men have sex with superiors in the workplace boss etc Because they feel pressured into it. Yeah, if it happens a lot apparently does happen a lot according to this lawyer and The only other thing I took away from it which I clipped here Is the process so course? You know for a man to say oh You know, I'm being sexually harassed. It's embarrassing you get to you get pestered by your coworkers for sure but there is one piece of advice he has which is very important What steps can companies take to make sure there's an environment where men

2:29:26 can feel comfortable coming forward with concerns about sexual harassment. I think the most important thing is proper training people need to know that, you know jokes innuendos even stray comments can sometimes be harassing or discriminatory second managers need to know how to handle it they're supposed to investigate a lot of employees are under the misguided belief that human resources is their friend human resources is there to protect the company It's critical that you document everything. And you want to fax, email or certify mail that to the HR department because a lot of employers will say they never complained therefore we had no obligation to do anything because we didn't know about it."

2:30:08 And how can we as a society address this stigma that men feel like they will be embarrassed or ashamed if they pursue these actions? The more men that come forward, the easier it will be for other men. HR is not your friend for men or women. No! I agree. It's exactly the wrong place to go. We need an ombudsman and ombuds person Yeah, the sexual harassment of course we didn't bring it up I was expecting you to about the women over men is that what was going on under Department Homeland Security. Yeah Homeland Security had this issue with Janet Napolitano yeah there's a huge problem yeah they were putting men in the bathroom with their desks you stupid man

2:31:03 And a good example I think of this type of thing, even though it's made as a comedy is the 40-year old virgin movie where Jane Lynch who is very funny comedic actress who can do this kind of role played someone sexually harassing the guy. You know, in the workplace. Yeah and it was very funny It was very funny and that's the way when it comes to women harassing men is you just not a joke Right you know what do I mean? I know What part of this system is that you can see the guy? Oh, oh she's forced me to have sex Exactly exactly guys so unfair John it's just so unfair

2:31:50 There's something weird going on in the European Union over there at Starfleet Command. Yeah? I don't have a clip of it yet, this is kind of relatively new but lot people are starting to ask questions about it so you have Juncker, Junker the drunkard he runs the European Commission his assistant basically they call an aide but his assistant Martin Selmayr has just been appointed the guy who runs the whole European Commission There's a path you're supposed to take. You have to be at least deputy commission director general or something like that, and this guy is apparently a real douchebag his nickname is the monster because he's such a hard ass I guess keeping people away from Juncker when he's drunker

2:32:41 And now he's just been promoted into the new Secretary General. This is corruption! Yes, yes but again I couldn't even find a clip about it there's no outrage it's just now they're just appointing their aides? Their buddies yeah well yeah they're buddies but that's weird I don't understand. It's weird if you're supposed to do it a specific way and they're not doing it right? Yeah, well maybe...I haven't looked up the actual documents for the process but I've read enough about that seems like you have to go through some steps before you get that job but maybe he could...what are the powers of the Secretary General? Maybe he can just appoint whatever he wants! Maybe he really is running the empire. Could be with

2:33:30 Angola was but you never know. So they cleaned up the homeless encampment down in Orange County that we've talked about maybe a little bit... The mile long one? The mile long one, the big one, the monster I think it's because it got so much publicity bad publicity from all the news networks and their different youtubers that drove through on their bicycles. This was along one of the rivers dried rivers down there a homeless encampment of tents, tent city that was something like a mile long. It took forever to go from one end to the other and so Orange County because of the publicity I think it did deport these bastards of disservice now they're going to tear the thing up they're gonna pull out

2:34:10 Hundreds of homeless people are forced out of a Southern California park. Advocates say they're victims of the statewide housing crisis as Jimmy Yuccas reports from Anaheim, some of them had been there more than a decade for lunch this is moving day for John so what kind of stuff do you have to move out here everything his home is a tent along the Santa Ana Riverbed not far from Disneyland when you heard that everybody was getting evicted what went through your mind Where am I gonna go now? An Orange County judge has said the encampment must go. You can see people are still packing up at the very last minute and the Sheriff's Office says when they tell people it's time to go, that's it. They're not even giving people an extra 15 minutes because in their mind everyone here has had a month to vacate. Homeless advocates argue officials just want these people out of sight. Orange County Supervisor Todd Spitzer says this is the only solution

2:35:05 I think that there's a group of people who want to live this lifestyle and there is nothing we can do to change their behavior. But, I do believe there are substantial number of people who do want help but they're commingled with very bad element. People wanna live that lifestyle really? And he said it so convincingly. This is the way...this is the old one where not working because don't wanna work They want to live this lifestyle. Bull crap! Nobody wants to live that lifestyle, since when is it a lifestyle?

2:35:47 I mean a lifestyle is you know, kind of a high concept. It's not like something some poor bastards got no money No job can't no place to take a shower is You know seen as a bum called such and this is a lifestyle it is Is it a lifestyle choice by the standards? This is the douchebags down in Southern California Hello That's pretty unbelievable So where do they all go now They scatter, scramble. I mean there's a bunch of in LA itself there's a bunch of little areas that are filling up and it is the same thing around here they have these encampments and then they roust them every so often and then they show up someplace else they find places yeah they do the same in Austin they just rouse their own routes and we just scattered him away from downtown and slowly come back again Yeah because they're not considered humans

2:36:39 No, it was a lifestyle choice. It's exactly what it is yes. Lifestyle Hey our old friend Ebola is back in the news! Eeee-BOLA! I'm shocked I'm shocked there was corruption going on there. In Sierra Leone, the deadly Ebola virus which killed almost 4,000 people was dubbed The Beast but millions of dollars in funds raised to fight the virus remain unaccounted for. The BBC's Ed Budler went to ask what happened to the money A children's cancer ward in Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown. In this terribly poor country one of the poorest in Sub-Saharan Africa The children here are in one sense actually fortunate The care they're getting is provided for free Away from this paediatric hospital though a lot of medical care in Sierra Leone is not

2:37:31 And that's not just because the country is poor. Transparency International ranks it one of the world's worst for everyday corruption Most scandalously, it's alleged also in the provision of care for one of the worlds biggest crises The West African Ebola outbreak An Auditor General report in 2015 found nearly a third of money set aside for disease millions of dollars was either being embezzled or grossly mismanaged. The current information minister, Alfa Kanu said the level of mismanagement involved had been exaggerated It was not that the money was frittered away it's just that supporting documentation was not given. It is in the courts at the moment by Ebola survivors who wish to have more money? The case that was brought today to the ECOAS court was not brought by the Ebola survivors it was brought by a civil society organisation

2:38:19 Has corruption got worse under your government? We have tried to put a lot of it in control at the moment. The former Minister of Energy was prosecuted, the former Minister of Health... Those are two good examples. The prosecutions that Alfa Kanu mentions there were in fact seven years ago. Survivor Yusuf Kaba says the scars of the disease will last in people's minds a long time. The Ebola crisis continues to have a huge impact on this country, but amid the corruption allegations facing the government voters will at least have their say on a way forward when it comes to general elections taking place next week. So I hunted around and see what else is going with Ebola why is this coming back we were pretty convinced that whole thing was a massive scam to start with

2:39:05 And before you go on, whatever he said was all well and good but let's never call this a shithole country. Certainly not literally! And I think I figured out we need to get a whole bunch of scary disease stuff into the news. Clad in protective clothing, these doctors in Erua in the south of Nigeria are treating patients with Lassa fever. 110 people have died from the virus since January Have you ever heard of Lassa fever? Yes I have! What is Lassa Fever? That's another one. I don't know if it is hemorrhagic. Is it hemorrhagic? I don't know, but I have heard of it and I'm going to look up what you continue the report In the worst outbreak since 2016 Lassa fever is carried by rats and humans and can spread through bodily fluids such as urine or blood More than 350 cases are being recorded so far this year The southern state of Ido has been worse hit especially in poor rural areas

2:40:04 The specialist hospital in Irua has been inundated with cases. Samples are sent here because it's the only laboratory in Nigeria that is able to identify results within 24 hours. A World Health Organization team is raising awareness among medical staff and families to stop the spread of the virus. Researchers are trying to identify the cause of the latest outbreak, and why its spread so fast. In the hope they may be able to prevent similar outbreak in the future. Right, if that wasn't bad enough we also have the... what are they calling it here? The World Horse Health Organization... Well, horse! The World Horse Organization fears a new quote disease X

2:40:55 That could cause a global pandemic. So there's all these stories... By the way, before you continue, Lassa is common in West Africa, in most of the countries. There are about 300,000 to 500,000 cases with 5,000 deaths a year so 1% death rate and it is hemorrhagic but its more like dengue in that regard You remember where they took out the American victim of Ebola? Remember they put him in an ambulance he jumped out at the back like okay I'll just walk into the hospital remember that disappointing moment CNN covered live

2:41:34 That and the nurse I remember her doing on her bicycle. That was in Atlanta, and here we go! The CDC lab in Atlanta which is responsible for storing and studying some of the world's most dangerous pathogens such as smallpox and Ebola is showing worrying signs of wear-and-tear decades earlier than planned Yes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is asking US Congress for $400 million to build a new and hopefully improved high-security laboratory. I shouldn't brother... Approximately 350 million will be spent on the facility itself while the additional 50 million dollars will go towards related work which i guess is bribes? I don't know what related work is!

2:42:22 The current facility is only from 2015. What? Yeah! And they want to tear it down and build another one already?! Well, the 13-year old site they say is wearing down... 2013 must be 2003 or no you said 13 year old as that would be 2005 2005 that's I thought that's what I said 2013 Okay, still it's still a young site. What was the tooth? No what was the two where there was the 2013 number from now you're confusing me this damn that daylight saving time yep anyway They just want money hello It's just one money Right this down hold on a second oh

2:43:10 News is used to get money so that would be fake news then this is the this is for commercial gain Yeah, I checked by the BBC standards. You're right the definition of nailed it bastards Let's see what else do we have here? Yeah? I did have one thing there was a actually was with Mollywood That was kind of funny on NPR they were talking about the section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. This is about that law, the back page law that passed through Congress still has to go through Senate. Right they get rid of the hookers. Yeah, the anti-hooker ad law. Hookers should be working through the mob! Yeah, they got to go through the control channels people. None of these independent... none of these indie websites, that won't do. No good But she had Congressman Cox

2:44:08 Was it Charles Cox Charlie's? I don't remember his first name He was the one that he was the one that introduced section 230 and 230 was exactly for the reason The internet grew is that no website could be responsible if it acted as a library for the contents of the website ie the library but the genesis of How that came to be I'd never heard before and I thought it would be fun to listen to it. They're case involved bulletin board opposed on the Prodigy web service. By the way, there's something for being like your parents. I remember when Prodigy was around there was a website that was good. That and Live Journal. Right next to my GeoCities!

2:44:55 involved a bulletin board, a post on the Prodigy web service. The post said disparaging things about an investment bank and the bank filed a lawsuit for libel but they couldn't locate the person who wrote the post so instead the banks sought damages from Prodigy, the site that hosted the bulletin board and so they were held responsible in this defamation case judgment of 200 million dollars. So by the time I landed in Washington, I had roughed an outline for a bill to overturn that holding because it was so clear we needed a good Samaritan rule so that people would not be forced into a business model where they just had to be completely hands-off and couldn't do anything to clean up the internet." Now I thought it was kind...I didn't know that's where started. I think I knew that. So that's...So it really started before the Internet?

2:45:53 Because prodigy was a closed system. Yeah, there was a lot of stuff going on before the internet. I mean the internet was there of course but it wasn't... Well the internet wasn't there until 69 and that was really not much of an internet. Right. I don't think the internet really started really getting unhinged until about 88-89 Oh, yes. No it was a little later than that because... Well 89 is when Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web and then it took off in 93 But then the Prodigy web service that was at the same time when I registered MTV dot com and MTV said go ahead we don't care we have the AOL keyword

2:46:30 Yes, exactly which I still find fun. Well. I mean Apple made the same mistake what they had there's e-world Oh My goodness, I forgot about that wait didn't they have? Apple link I think apple link was something on CompuServe perhaps no no Apple link it was its own maybe but he world was gonna be the thing and And they were given, here's what I've told the story before and I'm going to tell it again. Yeah, I don't remember this story. So I've written about it before This was about 93'. This is when everyone did... there are pundits out there that said oh the internet's gonna go nowhere! This was in the world... this as the World Wide Web emerged

2:47:11 And you'd hear people say, and I can name some of these guys. Oh the internet's gonna go anywhere AOL will take over everything. The AOL promotion at the time was outrageous it was going to be oh the internet can't hold a candle to AOL as keywords has been in business longer it has more users and on and on. Then Apple and a couple other people decided there is different versions AOL clones is what I call them. And so Apple has got this eWorld thing and they're starting to think about, they're gonna roll it out and then they are handed the World Wide Web's starting to emerge that Apple is literally well kind of not gets not literal but they are handed the first browser invented out of that University of Champaign Illinois operation where- Mosaic. Yeah mosaic, the original mosaic browser

2:48:08 was given to Apple and say, hey look what you guys can do with this because we wrote it for Apple. It was Apple only so anyone who is first on a browser first going on the internet on the webs They were on an Apple because that's where the code was written for. It was when Netscape came along that they decided, well let's just give this to everybody and of course they took the guys from Urbana to do it because Apple said no! No we got eWorld! We don't need this crap! John I don't think you've ever told that story on the show? No i don't think I've told it on the show but I have told it a number of times That's a great story

2:48:49 Yeah. And I remember because, what's his name? Mark Andreessen when i was at MTV he sent me an email and said hey you know I saw your Gopher server which I had a gopher server on mtv.com that's really cool you should try this out! He sent me a link to the browser it was Mac yes then he sent me a link to the HTTP D server which I was somehow able to compile and install on my headless son 3 And, uh... and you know that was mmm 92? Could be 92 early 93 one of the two. Something like that yeah and I- You're right! I never even thought about it hold on hey hang up the phone i gotta get on compuServe Remember those days? Yeah. Brrrr brrrr brrrr Ah what the kids will never know these days John what the kids will never know all right yes you got one last one for us when we can get out of here because I know you gotta

Yes and I want to remind people we're going to push off our millennial discussion until the next show, and also...and I'll put this in the newsletter with some background on it uh some discussion of the senior executive service that's run by the United States government which is people think is this shadow government and they're all concerned about. Ah yeah, did someone send us an email about that? Yes yes yes we do. Okay well good I'll leave it alone So I'm watching the ESPN is really kind of pushing toward women's sports and club soccer in Europe. Wait, wait are they showing women's field hockey?

Thank you Tom Starkweather for sending that in Our producers are fantastic sometimes you amaze me And... We need all the help we can get from our producers Please remember us for our show which is coming up on Sunday Same time Remember us at Dvorak dot org slash NA We'll be back then of course For more deconstruction Of your mainstream media M5M Until then

2:54:10 Coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas. South by Southwest is raging and doesn't bother me! In the 5x9 Cluedio in the Common Law condo in the morning everybody my name's Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're so West there is no south by anything I'm John C. Dvorak We return Sunday right here for another episode of No Agenda until then as always Adios Mofos Give me a cab Despite all of those things you do to stay woke, it can feel as if you get unhinged.

2:55:03 While you sit there eating mac and cheese, sound familiar? Maybe you should search your podcast app for No Agenda. A podcast for adults who want to be woke but have trouble falling into or staying out of Dimench B. No Agenda is a value-for-value woke aid that works differently as it targets and inhibits the action of the M5M A propaganda transmitted to your brain that is believed to play a central role in keeping you unglued. In clinical studies versus InfoWars and the placebo PBS, No Agenda help patients remain woke longer and stay more calm throughout the day Do not listen to No Agenda if you are undertaking gender studies When listening to No Agenda do not consult M5M for information unless you are fully woke Walking, eating, driving or engaging in other activities while listening to No Agenda without remembering these activities has been reported

2:55:49 No agenda should not be consumed together with Rachel Maddow. Abnormal behaviors include hitting people in the mouth, saying thanks Obama singing jingles or continually pointing out the number 33 The temporary urge to donate or call out others for failing to donate known as a douchebag and the request for karma and jingles has also been reported. In creative OCD listeners, worsening risk of jingle writing including the rewriting PSAs and drug ads may occur. Alcohol may increase these risks. Side effects include next day wokeness so if you're looking at staying more woke keep doing the things that help but also talk to a producer about no agenda

2:56:26 Flying cars are about to shift gears from fantasy to reality. The Dutch flying car. Can you get in this thing and do it when you want to be, right? At the airport, the driver sprouts wings and becomes a pilot. The wings unfold into a span of 12 yards... ...and presto! It's a plane. And there is the Dutch voice. Can you get in this thing and do it when you want to be, right? Oh, it's a plane. That's flying car! Get in the thing and you do what you want to be! That body shell is carbon fibre so it's very light And over here these blades they provide the lift There are two engines at the back here One of them also used for driving on the road Now I can do 160km an hour on the road 180 km an hour in the air

2:57:29 Comic books are really good, we should do a podcast about them. Yeah yeah yeah, just do the Star Wars movie and I'll finish it. Okay? I'm
