John McCain Brain Cancer, White House Aide Kelly Sadler Remark

A controversy involving White House communications aide Kelly Sadler is analyzed following her reported comment that Senator John McCain's opposition to CIA nominee Gina Haspel "doesn't matter" because "he's dying anyway." The discussion posits that the remark was a statement of fact delivered in a private strategy meeting rather than a joke or an act of mocking. Criticism is directed at the media for stripping the comment of context and the potential presence of listening devices in the White House.

02:43 Just remember I have some clips. Defending John McCain, the ailing senator gets bipartisan support from Bill Clinton and Lindsey Graham after he was mocked by a White House aide Wait! I have a different... Oh no it's too long. I'll let you go and then where appropriate i'l bring my stuff in Okay, first of all I want to start. I'm gonna start with the end my interpretation of all this and everybody getting old bent out of shape This is the classic example a classic I agree class sample misinterpreting reality and not even thinking straight first of all And only reading headlines well as that but Here's the way I see the event happening

03:37 And by the way, I think Sarah Huckabee Sanders got bent out of shape more about the leaks. And I don't think there is a leak, by the way. I don't think this was leaked. I think their room is bugged. I've said this from the beginning that's already they've gone through a number of processes of debugging The White House And I think there's a bug been planted in the whatever this room is. The situation room, one of the rooms. So there's a bug in there and somebody listening and this is not as... This is at least as big a scandal if they could find the bug and they should be able to as that when the British got all bent out of shape about somebody being able to hack their voicemail system. Ah! The Sun did that

04:18 The Sun and a few other papers in the weekly world news and all the rest of them, then lot of them got put out of business. News Of The World actually. That's right. News Of The World. Yeah. Yeah. News Of The World which is one of the more popular... I don't know what to call it newspaper like products and is now done. And this is just as bad situation but here's the way that meeting would go you're in a private meeting You're having its...and it's one of these things where you sitting around and your talking over strategy. In executive mode? Yeah, so they're trying to get this woman confirmed and some and they having a frank conversation and somebody says what about McCain he's a real problem in this woman the PR associate or whatever she is she says well I don't know we do should be worried about him he's dying

05:08 And everybody in the media has taken this to either be a joke or mocking. How about as a statement of fact? It's a statement of fact, she says I don't know we should be too concerned about the guy being you know Part of a problem because he's dying. It is sincere fact not to be she's not mocking him she's not Joking, it's not a joke that fell flat there all in the joking around or not you think this group jokes around? They're not joking around they don't joke around did Trump started Joker He's not like Ronald Reagan who started everything off with a joke even though his style and

05:49 So, but everybody in the media takes it as oh she's mocking him. Oh she's joking and she doesn't know how to tell a joke. Mocking about the dead and he is the best senator ever! And so now all of sudden becomes a big promotion for McCain and then Megan or Lisa whatever the McCain girl is that's on The View. Lisa. Lisa McCain She's on there and she's all huffy about it For one thing, it should have been a closed meeting. It should never gotten out that she even said this and if she says it does anybody...even one person I'm gonna use the word I hate doing it there's even one person in the media or any analyst posit nice word

06:29 The fact that she was just being serious, it was just a serious comment. No and everything is always within the context of which its said What was the previous thing we had everyone's all bent out of shape about? Oh its about the Paralympics I think That's the one that Scott Adams said. Oh no, it was like the shithole comment! Very similar situation you know we don't we don't know exactly how it was said but yeah... And that's another thing we need context there is no context in this just taking one sentence out of context and then make and then making into a huge story so I looked at the two groups doing this And they did this story for three days, CBS and ABC. Right? And I think the best one here's a short version and I believe this is the...I think this is the ABC version. I'm not sure play this meant as a joke bullcrap and listen to how carried away they get

07:23 Even if it was meant as a joke, few are laughing about an alleged remark made by a White House aide about ailing U.S. Senator John McCain the former Republican presidential nominee now 81 years old is home in Arizona fighting a deadly form of brain cancer He made news this week speaking out against President Trump's nominee to run the CIA and was allegedly mocked at a White House meeting. McCain is now getting the support of high-profile members of both parties. Eero Barnett is at The White House While spending time at his Virginia golf property today, President Trump's White House refuses to deny or distance itself from a staffer's stinging comment about ailing Senator John McCain who is undergoing brain cancer treatment. Communications aide Kelly Sadler reportedly joked it doesn't matter McCain will not endorse Gina Haspel nomination to lead the CIA because quote he's dying anyway

08:20 Actually, my clips follow this story up perfectly. So you have another one? You can add another example? Yeah I do have the longer clip which is a little it's very long we have to interrupt it a few times but this is the way they finally took over the story they kept the same narrative that she was mocking him and by the way makes you think that she's in there I mean, come on people. What kind of news reporting is this? It doesn't make any sense to be anything other than what I stated or said what I said which is that it was a serious comment in a closed meeting trying to strategize this woman getting to the top of the CIA. That's all it was

09:05 But of course, you know somebody just had the bug in there. They're listening to it and they go oh this is a good one let me report that back. Of course they can't deny because it's true and she did say it but not the context So here's the long one and what they've managed to do in ABC and CBS both started to do this. In fact, that other story that you just cut off because it was ended did the same thing which is let's take this story and then add the Rudy Giuliani story in at the end just to make it look like a bunch of boneheads. This is Marcy Gonzalez for us tonight. Marci thank you let's turn to politics now Operation from the White House after what a staff member said during an internal meeting about Senator John McIntyre like it already now And now it's just become after what his staffer said in an internal meeting. It's already morphed this is great

CHAPTER 03 / 32 Discussion

Rudy Giuliani, Time Warner AT&T Merger Interference Claims

Rudy Giuliani made conflicting statements regarding President Donald Trump's involvement in blocking the Time Warner and AT&T merger. While Giuliani initially suggested the President denied the merger, he later walked back the comments to align with the administration's stance that the Department of Justice acted independently. The media's transition from the McCain story to the Giuliani story is highlighted as a strategic narrative shift.

09:51 It's beautiful. Thank you, let's turn to politics now and a cleanup operation from the White House. Cleanup operation? A staff member said during an internal meeting about Senator John McCain who is battling brain cancer. Sources tell ABC News Press Secretary Sarah Sanders chewed out her staff but still no public apology The White House also trying to correct the record about the latest statements the president's new lawyer Rudy Giuliani told a reporter. ABC's Tara Palmieri is at the White House Tonight, for the first time, the White House publicly addressing the callous remark about Senator John McCain but still not apologizing. It was a joke it was a badly considered joke an awful joke that she said fell flat The comment made by White House staffer Kelly Sadler in a closed-door meeting that McCain's opposition to their nominee for CIA director Gina Haspel doesn't matter because he's dying anyway

10:42 McCain is battling brain cancer. This was a private meeting, it was clearly the leak that was designed to hurt that person We're now learning Press Secretary Sarah Sanders has scolded her staff White House sources say in a private meeting on Friday she called the comments unacceptable but was more angered by the leak Some now taking Sadler's side A person in the room telling a senior communications advisor Mercedes Schlapp said she stood by Kelly Sadler because she saw the leak as an attack. Does she still have a job? I'm not going to comment on an internal staff meeting. Sadler did privately apologize to McCain's daughter Megan, but that was clearly not enough. I don't understand what kind of environment you're working in when that would be acceptable and then you can come to work the next day and still have a job

11:26 Politicians outrage. Mitt Romney tweeting, John McCain makes America great! Those who mock such greatness only humiliate themselves and their silent accomplices I love that we have hundreds of thousands of homeless people eating from garbage cans and yet this is a three-day news cycle Yeah, good work. It was Trump himself who famously attacked the Republican senator. He's not a war hero. He is a war hero because he was captured I like people that weren't captured tonight The White House also cleaning up comments made by President Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani in an interview with The Huffington Post Giuliani credited the

12:01 president with blocking the Time Warner AT&T deal saying, the president denied the merger. They didn't get the result they wanted during the campaign Trump spoke out against it. It's too much concentration of power in in the hands of too few. The administration has maintained that Trump had no influence on the decision tonight Sarah Sanders releasing a statement saying the Department of Justice denied the merger Giuliani walking back those comments telling CNN and the president told him directly he didn't interfere And Tara joins us live from the White House now. Tara, Rudy Giuliani also pushing back on the notion that the president's former personal attorney Michael Cohen actually lobbied the president on behalf of the companies that paid him? That's right Tom, Giuliani told The Huffington Post that the President had no idea that Michael Cohen was accepting payments from various companies for

12:53 I that McCain is dying and this despicable character who said it, and they won't apologize. And somehow we're talking about Trump! What was the transition? I don't even know where it was." It was like folding egg whites into cupcake batter. It was so smooth. Yeah very carefully done. Very carefully done. It was smooth and careful. Very well done. I was stunned by the way they did that. Well the controversy didn't stop there

Nicole Wallace, Sarah Huckabee Sanders Choking Metaphor Controversy

MSNBC host Nicole Wallace faced backlash after using a metaphor about "wringing the neck" of Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders during a broadcast. The discussion compares Sanders to "Baghdad Bob," the former Iraqi information minister, while debating the hostility of the White House press corps. Suggestions are made regarding the revocation of press credentials for news organizations perceived as dishonest.

nicole wallace· sarah huckabee sanders· msnbc· white house press corps· baghdad bob

13:42 Nicole Wallace over at MSNBC, she took great exception to the question not being answered. Just not being answered by Sarah Sanders Huckabee Heimer saying you know yeah that happened or didn't happen or should be fired or whatever and then she said Nicole Wallace said this... President Walker how do you resist the temptation to run up and wring her neck? Why can't she just say If a staffer said that, we're gonna get to the bottom of it and she'll be fired. Choking! They're advocating violence, choking her. It just... all the dementia blogs and just went ape shit over this. I'm like- And that was the headline was Nicole Wallace advocates choking Sarah Sanders Huckabee Now let me tell you Just hear that again here people. Kirsten Walker how do you resist a temptation to run up and wring her neck? Why can't she just say Run up and ring her neck it's an expression

14:49 And it's an expression that I've known in all my life. Don't have to wring that guys neck, doesn't mean i want to choke him out! Well but choke him out is added a new word. Choke him out. Don't wanna choke her out... That's not- But What was and so that was the headline, and that was the there's still a violent comment That was the yes. That was the pushback from dimension a which is just like Jesus read a damn article everyone's Copying and pasting in RT ing all this stuff like oh yeah? Oh yeah, they're violent those Dems over there They're violent but

15:26 When I listen to the in context to the entire Nicole Wallace breakdown see they ever since Sarah Sanders was put on a pedestal for a brief moment Because someone fat shamed her although the comedian didn't actually do that, but okay doesn't matter Attacked her person and her appearance because she looked like the old hag from What's the name of the show? The Handmaid's Tale. Yeah, basically you look like an old hag and maybe there are some lesbian undertones it doesn't matter but ever since that happened the theme now within the DC press core... I shouldn't even call it a core.. The DC Press Bunch is

16:12 That's nothing but lies. It's all lies, Sarah Sanders lies! Just lies isn't it? Why even go there is lies so listen to the unhinged conversation they're having about being in the White House press bunch which I think is...I presume it still kind of a journalistic honor? I could be wrong Well, I think it's a privilege and I think it is considered amongst themselves as an honor. That's why they're always so fearful that they're gonna have their credentials pulled well if this Exchange is any example MSNBC should have all very Credentials pulled yanked choked out we should

16:55 Yeah. copied Michelle Obama's paperwork, her brochures and it was a dig at her. Now you don't know what it is called? Fine! No go good be good whatever thing was called. Be best I mean how does this comport with that It's a great point, Nicole. In fact we went back and looked up some of the quotes from that day the first lady calling for high moral ethical standards before you speak. And by the way those were some

17:46 that we did also want to ask Sarah Sanders today, you know how does this comport with the first lady's message and I do think it complicates her message. It makes it tougher for her to go out and make that argument when you do have these types of stories that are festering. What is the motivation for anyone in Kristen's role? I won't put Kristen on the spot but just sit in that room I don't know the difference anymore between Baghdad Bob and Sarah Sanders. Who was Baghdad Bob again? Who was that? Remember Baghdad Bob, we used to talk about him. He's the guy that would be out there with his finger in the air he is the press guy for Saddam Hussein as they were bombing all around him. Oh no! There is no bombing

18:33 That guy, the idiot. Okay now thank you so Sarah Sanders Huckabee Heimer would be Baghdad Bob and Trump would be... I'm Hussein. There you go! And take this...I mean, I don't know the difference anymore between Baghdad Bob and Sarah Sanders. Meh. Nor do I. I don't know the difference in motivation. Really? You don't know the difference? Well for one's a guy and the other one is woman there is one difference We could do the exact same thing with context. Oh she said Don't know if it's Sarah or if its Baghdad Bob can't tell the different. It's obviously a quip

19:11 No, do I. I don't know the difference and I think motivation...I would never want to in any way disparage our colleagues who have to live through that horror show every day. It's a horror show John! Every day! I don't envy my colleagues yes you do you do, you'd love to be there douche. I don't want to impose the hypocrisy and the lies, the Baghdad Bob-ness of it from the podium. But if you're asking me like how they tolerate it? How they live with it? Like why... They have more fortitude than I have! I could not go down there and do a Krista Walker. You were having a good time. I could not. I would slip my throat after about maybe two of those briefings if I had to sit in that room every day He's going to commit suicide Put him in there. Put him in please right away

20:14 That's some hate right there, man. Oh yeah these guys are haters but the thing I kind of agree that Welker should be pushing back against this because the- I personally think they should pull the credentials to some of these operations. I think NBC should have its credentials pulled They're not how they're just lying. They are the ones lying. How come we don't like that, Bob? And then I mean if somebody doesn't answer the question all of a sudden this is Baghdad Bob and then to just berate Sarah and the whole operation over and over again pull their credentials. And I said the same thing with The Washington Post pull their credentials you're not reporting honestly in this what you do. Are you serious? Are you seriously considering Stalinistic

21:02 It's been done by other presidents. I don't know why this president hasn't done it and he already did it with the Washington Post on the campaign trail, he pulled their credentials wouldn't let they have to come in as normal people well they certainly threatened it a lot when Sean Spicer was in in the beginning and didn't they? They did throw some people out for a day or two if I recall. I think they should throw NBC out no we need them in there to make sure they're still famous when they're brought down by Roger Stone Another fine. Yeah, I just told me maybe picking them off one by one you remember that's a good counter argument number the Tom Steyer Steyer steer stier ste y er stier

But things never really worked out for some reason I worried when he went to college, but he came home often!

United Kingdom Hate Speech Laws, Internet Troll Sentencing Proposals

New sentencing recommendations in the United Kingdom propose up to six months in jail for individuals who share "hate posts" online. The guidelines target internet trolls who torment protected groups under the Public Order Act of 1986. There is further discussion regarding the possibility of three-year sentences for more severe online abuse cases.

united kingdom· hate speech· public order act· internet trolls· sentencing guidelines

25:06 If you, in the UK if you share hate posts online You...if this passes. You could receive up to six months in jail As judges recommend harsh punishment for internet trolls who torment racial religious or sexual minority groups and they're even talking about a total of three years in jail! If you let me see The recommendations, which will be subject to a three-month consultation which I think goes in now comes at the time of deepening sensitivity to racism online and abuse on top of longstanding concern. Let me see where was something about three years?

25:51 But it's you know, it all stems back to the 1986 hate crime section under the Public Order Act. But now they really want to put some meat to it and And so if you troll someone online then you can get six months in jail It's gonna be full over there. The Brits are great at trolling. They're fantastic at it Yeah what they're not good at is The New World Order Eurovision Song Contest Oh, they never think I don't think the last time they won was a thing kisses for me brotherhood of man.

26:39 Oh yeah. Everyone knows this.

You know he had a whole gay team which very camp makes it extra funny and before the show started I had listened to the songs and i said Cyprus is the best song that she'll win came in number two number one was Israel and do you recall? Ah! You should have guessed Israel. I should have guessed- Wait a minute hold on stop stop stop what's the name of this show again Eurovision Song Contest What does Israel have to do with Europe?

28:23 We do, we got the PBS system. Public radio, public broadcasting. Do you see PBS putting on a big pre-round talent show to find the best song? Yeah... No! I can see it they obviously just have decided not to but i think they would Well Australia's in Russia is in these aren't European countries Azerbaijan There are tons of countries that participate that aren't in Europe. Well, then I think our PBS people should get their act together! Yeah because we would win and that's why we're not in it because we'd win We'd win every year Well maybe we wouldn't If you recall the last time Israel won which was only four years ago Do you remember? No Yes you do It was The Bearded Lady I thought that person was from Eastern Europe Nah, I'm pretty sure he was from Israel

29:14 I don't know okay finish up. Okay, so for Cyprus great song I think the video looked good which doesn't really matter for these live performances But it was yeah the song is it's a song contest It's supposed to be only about the song That bullcrap we know that for a fact well certainly and my runner-up from a song perspective would have been the one that won in But it was so simple, like hey boy I'm not your toy. That's kind of what the song is but you have to see this whole presentation her name is Netta and the title of the song is Toy You need to look up a... Do it right now! Bing it! Bing N-E-T-A. Nah, I'm not gonna do that. Why would we need to look this up? We're not even remotely interested in any of this.

I don't care about your modern time preacher Why come by so much noise?

31:09 So she has an outrageous look and outrageous second yeah, n e t a round N E T TA just that neta not to it. Not to ease two tees Yeah, I got that okay Did you find her yet? Yeah, it's funny because there is like no mention of this competition at all. I'm using the Google. You try Bing, i think they're better. Here but the hook is good! I like the hook. Hit It! By the way, the bearded lady was from Austria...I was wrong. Ah, I knew it So now you know that this contest is interesting because its usually geopolitical and in this moment with time with amount hate towards Israel

32:04 The massive amount of hate about what's going on with Gaza and the Palestinians, I was very surprised that this happened. And I suspect Mossad to be honest. I think they're behind some of the... there is a voting scandal! Well, I think you can make an argument the way it could be based on your thesis. It has to be Mossad who else would build a push this through? Had to be some bribery involved and in the way they do The voting is great because they have they've split it up half the voters from professionals from each country And then the other half is tele voting and you can't vote from your own country Then you can't spoof your phone number either I guess

32:44 You can't vote for your own country. No, but you can vote you can't vote for your and vote from your own country Okay Yeah, we can't vote for your own country if you're in that country use a VPN Well I don't know how that works with texting but who works mmm. I hope think so I think the nut is where the numbers registered it has nothing to do with a VPN There's ways around it. Yeah, but not with a VPN I don't care what you say! Anyway...I found it very interesting that Israel won that although I think the song was certainly worth it worthy of it

33:25 It was catchy, it was a toe-tapper. Yeah! It was surprising... very surprising that Israel got the nod you know it's just there so much hate yeah and you know there's a lot of Muslim countries I don't know..it was just very interesting. They're trying to promote world peace with that thing oh it's totally total new old order bullcrap when your yes course Well, while you're talking about this I do have the tensions in Israel. Latest CBS clip discussing that apparently every country in the world is sending their tires to Gaza so they can burn them. Send us your tires!

34:07 There were heightened tensions in Israel this weekend just days before the opening of the new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem Israeli forces today blew up what they said was a Hamas terror tunnel at the Gaza border Palestinian protesters have been fighting with Israeli troops at the border since March Seth Doan is in Jerusalem The site of the new U.S. embassy is being readied and signs are up across Jerusalem thanking President Trump for moving the embassy, thus recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Today hundreds of Palestinians who've been protesting the embassy move marched through the streets of Gaza carrying the body of a protester shot by Israeli troops Friday

Jerusalem US Embassy Opening, Gaza Border Kite Firebombs

Tensions escalate in Israel ahead of the official opening of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem. Palestinian protesters in Gaza have reportedly begun using kites equipped with firebombs to destroy Israeli crops across the border. The media coverage is criticized for using repetitive "B-roll" footage and failing to provide deep background on the long-standing conflict.

33:25 It was catchy, it was a toe-tapper. Yeah! It was surprising... very surprising that Israel got the nod you know it's just there so much hate yeah and you know there's a lot of Muslim countries I don't know..it was just very interesting.

Today hundreds of Palestinians who've been protesting the embassy move marched through the streets of Gaza carrying the body of a protester shot by Israeli troops Friday

34:51 He was among an estimated 15,000 demonstrators. Some burning tires and hurling rocks at Israeli forces. Palestinians have also started attaching firebombs to kites and flying them into Israel Along the Gaza border Friday, we found Israelis flying kites in a counter-demonstration. Leah Golden's son Hader was killed four years ago in a battle with Hamas. His body was never returned. This is awful to use children games, kites you know and turn them into bombs

35:28 This is the result of one of those fire kites, a crop that has been destroyed. You can see this was a field of wheat and while the damage was relatively limited here ultimately it is symbolic after all this is a fight over land and who it belongs to I love the kite idea! That's interesting Another thing that should be outlawed Kites? Yeah hey you kid flying that kite You're gonna have to be licensed. So this report taught us nothing, we don't know anything Not really And it looked like a lot of b-roll I don't know if it had anything to do with the story It's just like they were saying something and they run some B roll about you know buncha guys shaking their fists and screaming

36:12 And it just was, I don't know. I don't get it. They were not getting any stories from these networks. They're not telling us anything behind the scenes we're gonna have to go elsewhere to get actual information. You know I haven't really looked That deeply because it just every night. They have the same story although the kite is a new Z roll by the way Yes, very similar B roll and then you know of course they brought down the drone which sounds like a lot But please I mean it's little little teeny-weeny little teeny white Yeah with a slingshot though did no agenda weapon of choice? I will point that out we do like this link shots and kites are now apparently also on the list oh

36:51 And I don't know we got our nights there. We got Jono, we got Sir Brian and you know they have their Israeli take on it which is doesn't bode well for the Palestinians. We don't have anybody in the Palestine's do we? Who listens to this show? Well no we do! I think we have a couple but we never get any...We get some reports from them but they lot of this is like I'm sure it's almost like... Ah, I know why. Of course! Okay so this stuff of course has been ongoing for a long time it's not probably not really changed goes in waves up and down but the difference is Trumps Jerusalem embassy that's what that's why there's a lot to do that's why they're keeping the coverage yeah that's why they're keeping it up got to be something like that

37:45 Why else? They have no story. There's no story. It's the same story over and over, it's the same thing Well they showed some b-roll of a bunch of guys protesting and they described it as carrying a dead Palestinian in protest of the Jerusalem move of their embassy And I think that is bullcrap this is not right This just mixing and matching clips You know, just for their agenda. Yeah yeah because you're right there's no story it's the same story burning tires shot down a drone slingshots add the kites nice touch appreciate that and it burned a field but they never get into the background of it again and then I don't know like that's all I can think of is they don't really care

Met Gala 2018, Catholic Fashion Theme Controversy

The 2018 Met Gala featured a "Heavenly Bodies" theme centered on Catholic iconography, drawing both celebrity participation and public criticism. Rihanna appeared in a pope-inspired ensemble, while Sarah Jessica Parker wore a nativity scene headpiece. The event is described as elitist and potentially mocking of religious traditions, despite the Vatican's cooperation in lending vestments for the museum exhibit.

met gala· vatican· rihanna· katy perry· catholicism· fashion

38:31 In the meantime, hundreds of thousands of homeless eating from garbage cans in America. And pooping on the streets in San Francisco and then there's nothing better when you're pooping on the streets in San Francisco although it happened earlier this week I did find this report to be somewhat comprehensive of The New York Met Illuminati meeting Archangels Joan of Arc and a Pope The 2018 MET Gala brought out the world's biggest stars and some of the biggest hats Part of this year's Catholic-themed costume ball in New York, where celebrities donned bejeweled crosses and heavenly gowns on the red carpet. Rihanna resurrected the gala with a holy ensemble including a jewel encrusted miter and priestly cape. She looked just like the Pope... kinda. Katy Perry wowed in six foot high wings and Sarah Jessica Parker wore a nativity scene headpiece

39:25 You should see this thing. There's a hat on her head and inside the hat is a nativity scene This is the ultimate, the ultimate elitism in my book But among the saints are always the sinners Stars like Nicki Minaj channeled a more devilish side choosing to wear red while other outfits fell flat Scarlett Johansson and Miley Cyrus didn't appear to get the memo, both just wearing simple dresses. No they didn't get the memo with your simple stupid dress! You need to make fun of Christianity! The invitation only event which reportedly cost $30,000 dollars is a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum Of Art and marks the opening of the museum's annual fashion exhibition

40:10 This year's exhibit shows how fashion and Catholicism collide, and features 50 vestments and other religious items direct from the Vatican. But not everyone was happy with the year's controversial theme... With some on social media saying quote my religion is not your costume If I had 30 grand which we could have easily done an ICO for I would have shown up in a burqa to celebrate my faith and fashion I don't understand how this can be okay. It's not. You're mocking someone's religion, true I mean inside the exhibit is actually there some beautiful pieces there and they show some B-roll of that Vatican fashion which is you know kind of feminine but yeah there it is and there are some great pieces if you're into that I did watch Phantom Thread the other night so no I'm totally into it but to mock... To me its mocking put a nativity scene on your head. Its more mocking than that woman talking about John McCain

41:11 Yeah, but they don't see it and the news media doesn't see it. And I guess that church was okay with it well Well there were some church dudes there yeah? I'm sure they're were yeah, and I love that Nicki Minaj came as a devil points for her Points for Nicki Minaj the whole thing sounds very various Culti culti very culti multi culti yeah now I was it was just a frightening thing. I My mouth was aghast right away what nothing? What was a gem that deck comment oh

41:48 The multi-culti? When you hear the show over again, I'm looking for this. The multi-culti comment? Yeah it was okay. This is more than one cult so it's multi-culti Yes, I got it but when you call out your jokes how good they are they're not that great Oh! You're getting me because I did that to you Correct I see what you doing yes hmm Well that's disgusting, let's just be honest about it. I thought so too but no one else saw it that way not in the medias No, no. They're screwed up let's face reality that's what our show is all about is the fact that the media is screwed up yeah by the way we did mention San Francisco I do have to say we have to play the San Francisco clip because I keep things up-to-date he does tell us that he offered to keep the property open on the same terms as a wrong one sorry Stanford starts off the word and Francisco

Starbucks Open Bathroom Policy, San Francisco Homeless Crisis

Starbucks announced a nationwide policy opening its bathrooms to the public without requiring a purchase following a high-profile incident in Philadelphia. The discussion focuses on the practical implications for urban locations, particularly in San Francisco, where the policy may exacerbate issues related to the homeless population using facilities.

starbucks· open bathroom policy· san francisco· virtue signaling· homeless

42:48 Okay, we'll play the node later. All right you got to say it again because Skype was not cooperating The word San Francisco's right at the beginning of the clip yes Homeless can now crap at Starbucks yeah isn't that what I played No, you were playing the Vinod Khosla clip. Oh I'm sorry... You got it my mistake. He does tell us that he offered to keep the property open on the same terms as a previous... This is San Francisco homeless can now crap at Starbucks! That's the clip I am playing. Then play the Vinod Khosla clip. I thought you wanted the San Francisco clip? No i just want to see if the clips got mixed up. Oh I gotcha. He's a hero to would-be founders and entrepreneurs posing for photos

43:28 So which one do you want me to play? They're both the wrong clip. I'm just going to have to explain the clip because apparently, I gave the clipped...I don't know what happened whatever happened it would have been nice to use the clip that's a story about Starbucks in the whole country because of that one incident yeah Starbucks is going Open all his bathrooms. You won't need a key you can just go in there and that means every Starbucks in San Francisco is gonna be but the camp by homeless pooping yeah Well, he's not pooping on the street. Yeah, that's next trip to Starbucks I would be That will not last very long. I guarantee you That's that's gonna be a huge problem for Starbucks And I don't think they're like this it's all virtue signaling John if this not really real

CHAPTER 11 / 32 Discussion

ZenCity Social Media Monitoring, West Sacramento Policing Algorithm

The city of West Sacramento has implemented a program called ZenCity, which uses algorithms to monitor public social media posts for community concerns like mailbox thefts and potholes. While city leaders frame it as a way to hear citizen signals, the ACLU has raised concerns about the potential for surveillance and misuse of data. The technology is described as a sophisticated keyword "grep" rather than true artificial intelligence.

zencity· west sacramento· artificial intelligence· social media monitoring· aclu

44:21 No, it's totally virtue signaling. Yeah but let's see what happens It would have been better with the clip I agree yeah would have been better and me yacking away about it But lets stay in California for a moment with Sacramento Let's call it Clip Fail Here is West Sacramento And they've got a new program that should feel good to everybody. When the city of West Sacramento suffered a wave of mailbox thefts last November, many people complained on social media and West Sac was watching. That is a little creepy for the city to be watching what we post. City leaders were alerted to community concerns by a new high-tech computer program. High tech! The thing that people were talking about most were mailbox thefts

45:06 That's something that we might not have noticed just by waiting for people to come to City Hall. Now from viral posts about potholes, to a new pizzeria West Sac leaders are notified using an algorithm called ZenCity. And the purpose of ZenCity is to see the big picture So how does it work? ZenCity basically spiders through publicly available social media posts and uses artificial intelligence to spider through it and say okay what are people talking about what are the key words What are the key themes What are the key topic areas That's called artificial intelligence by the way to spider through something and grep out keywords artificial AI baby machine learning deep learning reinforced cracked reinforced learning is the new term I hear reinforced learning areas and then people negative positive about it and then gives us feedback about the sentiment of the community what's that

45:54 Sacramento leaders get a report generated each month. So what are they looking for? In January, concerns peaked over the closure of a Safeway store and the murder of two sisters killed by their father in March, a shooting threat at River City High School generated negative posts over the lack of updates from police and school staff notice the negative post I think that's pretty much the only intent they can use we know that stuff kind of works from our Pendergrass guy here in Austin who also did the performatives. You can find out if a post is positive or negative, but to say that's AI? A little skeptical. The ACLU worries about the potential misuse of the technology and we've seen it before Facebook began as a social engagement tool that quickly and widely engaged the public but the recent reveal that Facebook's business model exposed user data has been troublesome for users even though exposure was not planned Our ultimate goal is to hear the signal

46:48 The citizens are already sending. So I understand this is an interesting outfit, you can take a look at it the what is it called? I forgot the name already of yeah this outfit that's Zen City there you go It's a product it's not and you know Zen City is the name of the company it's not the algo itself if you can speak of an algo but there's a hell with it but you but of course I think that they say yeah we're scraping Publicly accessible, but to me. I think they probably have access to the fire hose over at Twitter And they've got some kind of API access To the face bag stuff and maybe well sounds like this just sounds like a crock well There's something else that is coming up for local policing and this is brought to you by axon The company's former name was taser Inc and

CHAPTER 12 / 32 Discussion

Axon Body Cameras, Facial Recognition Ethics Board

Axon, formerly known as Taser International, is developing facial recognition software for police body cameras and has established an ethics board to oversee the rollout. Civil rights groups have voiced opposition, citing risks of misidentification, particularly for individuals with darker skin tones. The CEO of Axon compares the evolution of the technology to the early days of DNA testing.

axon· taser· facial recognition· body cameras· ethics board· biometrics

47:45 And they have supplied fine device to law enforcement, certainly in the United States of Gitmo Nation. The Taser and they also supply body cams and they have yet another idea this is from NPR serious conversation. Axon formerly known as Taser International makes tasers end body cameras for police departments and in the near future Body cams may be equipped with facial recognition software. Is this guy got his mouth over to the side when he talks? I think so, did you hear what he said or are just talking over him? I was just...I talked over him. You're gonna back it up anyway but it seems to me that he talks like this. Shut up Parkman's and in the near future body cams may be equipped with facial recognition software

48:28 The company's created a new ethics board to consider some of the implications of this software, and the emerging use of artificial intelligence in local policing. As I don't have to tell you Mr Smith, uh... You announced your ethics board and a group more than 40 civil rights groups wrote you a letter in which they said that you should never develop real-time facial recognition through police body cameras, because they say the risks of misidentification are too high. Innocent people could be pursued by the police and sometimes suffer fatal consequences. How do you respond to that? Well, we agree philosophically with the issues that were raised but I think it's counterproductive to say that a technology is unethical and should never be developed. So I think what we need to do is take a look at how this technology could evolve? What are the risks but basically today an individual officer might have to make life or death decisions based only on their own perceptions and prejudices

49:28 Do we think that computers getting information to those officers that can help them make better decisions would move the world in the right direction? I love this. So, the vision I got in my mind when I heard this bit... The cop has the is pointing the gun and it's like stop and then in his ears like safe target safe target do not shoot or Robocop, yeah, its robocop. It's minority report I think yes unequivocally Yes that could happen the technology is especially faulty when it comes to

50:06 Seeing the differences in darker faces That's the best part that we'll listen to it again especially faulty when it comes to seeing the differences and darker faces No, no that's not true I think that has to do with the types of training data sets that have been used historically. Certainly those are one of the issues before we developed anything to be deployed in the field. What we do know from facial recognition is you can detect gaze So maybe we can shoot, shoot. We would take a very hard look at that you could imagine many benefits I think one example we could look back is DNA technology You know when DNA was first being introduced there was much concern about false positives and false matches And yet ultimately I think DNA technology has done more than any other key technology in exonerating people that were wrong Bullshit

51:01 I think we'll see other biometrics, including facial recognition technology that properly deployed with the right oversight over the coming decades could ultimately reduce prejudice in policing and help catch dangerous people that we all agree. We don't want out in our communities and do it in a way that at the same time respects police transparency and rights of privacy of the average citizen. What could possibly go wrong? Yeah This will happen. Is it disaster waiting to happen? I tried to see if i could make a package for the show and really didn't work because you need the visuals there was

CHAPTER 13 / 32 Discussion

Police Body Camera Footage, Racial Perception Discrepancy Case

A specific traffic stop involving a black woman and a police officer is analyzed to highlight the discrepancy between subjective experience and recorded reality. While the woman posted a viral video claiming the officer was racist and threatening, the released body camera footage showed a courteous, albeit firm, interaction. The segment explores the concept of "alternative facts" and how media narratives shape public perception of law enforcement.

body camera· traffic stop· racial bias· viral video· subjective truth

51:45 A lady who had just dropped her daughter off at college, I think she was driving back through the South. She's black and cop pulls her over for speeding 70 in a 55 and he gives her ticket And then she hops on Facebag with the live video and she's crying you know racist cop Just threatened to pull me out of my car and all they just you know like I can't believe this is what? I have to deal with every day And this built up on the social nets and the cops in this town, I forget where it was. They said well why don't we just release the body camera? So they released the entire body camera in full and It could not have been polar opposite to what this woman said had happened to her The cop was courteous although I will give him massive down points when she said he because they

52:35 They came down to him saying, okay you know this is not an admission of guilt but you have to sign the ticket. He said I'm not signing the ticket now you have to sign the ticket and then he reads his little spiel again not admission of guilt except that you can fight it, you can prepay if you want... You know the typical standard stuff He said but he said I should well. I'm not gonna do this as well if you don't do that I'm going to get you out of the car, and then after arrest You know your cars gonna be impounded The way he said that I agree was a little aggressive. It didn't say it an aggressive man It was very polite But he could have explained a little with a little more room it would freak me out too honestly like dude you've really threatening to arrest me but what I now am coming to see is that

53:16 Her experience her reality her truth was exactly what she felt. She felt that he was going to pull her out She felt that he was racist You can't take that away from her and it's very troubling because when you see these two piece, and they're like 15 minutes each That's why I couldn't cut anything out of it If you see these two pieces next to each other, you can objectively see what happened. You know the cop was like here we go and she was like oh he's racist and she's crying and she was incredibly upset but it is the dimension split that we've been talking about for over, I don't know how long? Two years now a year at least. Since two years yeah two years at least so it's very very troubling moreover the people who saw this like oh this is what they all do the blacks but no this is her actual reality

54:08 And we need to start understanding that truth is not a single thing. There's not always a fact check true or fact check false. That's what Kellyanne Conway said once... Alternative facts, I know! ...and alternative facts and she got railed right through the coals. Yes! Note, I didn't use the alternative facts argument but it was just like wow you know It's very troubling because and thank you that is the media. The media has built this up, built this up We got nothing but racist cops And I'm not worried about the racism, we're worried about the technology The body cams and facial recognition all of this stuff That's where the problems are coming Now we are woefully under informed by all of these About all of these Again thanks to the media

Google I/O Conference, TensorFlow Democratization Claims

Reporting from the Google I/O developer conference is criticized for "normalizing" and "humanizing" artificial intelligence through stories of students using TensorFlow. The discussion argues that tech giants are competing to set industry standards by making their machine learning platforms accessible to the public. The hosts express skepticism toward the technical definition of AI, labeling it as complex "skip logic."

55:00 When Facebag came out, everyone's like this is great. It's fantastic We love it Yeah you give up some information we were completely we were not well informed although the information about what face bag and other social nets are doing has been known and very well understood but not communicated to people because the journalists are tech horny bitches And here we have from Reuters The reporter is reporting on Google I.O., she's at Google I.O, and she's reporting on how great Google is! And then she just throws in these AI machine learning algo things like it's nothing and again we're being completely under-informed about what this really is. Artificial intelligence may once have been the domain of an elite few but new A.I. and machine learning platforms

55:50 platforms mean it's no lon to R. And D labs and gar Meet Shazam Eddie, this in high school who got a smartphone app for a scien I always had the impression that people who are into computer science had to be math geniuses or you know Had been doing it for a really long time and to me this is maybe unintentional, but this is normalizing humanizing AI and Algos and all the stuff that Google does Normalize. Oh look. It's little girl girl can do it. It's great for the... But she got a C in Geometry so she is not that bright. She is not that bright and she can do it, and she is helping the plants grow! And I never thought I could do it but I came across this YouTube video that was how to use TensorFlow in 5 minutes. TensorFlow is Google's machine learning platform and its open to the public to use. Shaza watched several tutorials taught herself some basic code and two months later had this app

56:52 Join us, Jane Lanhee Lee at Google's Developer Conference in Mountain View California. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are increasingly the backbone of everything from self-driving cars to Gmail to Google Assistant and TensorFlow is behind it all! Oh... It's the backbone of everything That's what it is. Google says by making machine learning more accessible, it's democratizing AI but some AI specialists say there's huge competition among the tech giants to get developers to use their specific machine learning platforms The thinking is the bigger the community, the better chance that platform sets the standard As for Shaza she heading to University of Georgia this fall and plans to study computer science

57:37 There it is. AI! Well, she's not gonna get very far if she gets a C in Geometry I don't think you need that for AI It's magical shit man You don't need that By the way let's start with the premise that AI is bullcrap Thank you? It's skip logic as far as I'm concerned Skip logic is would be by these people's standards would be a form of AI That's all I'm seeing right now. I'm just seeing skip logic, you know scripts like if then go to yeah If then if then if they infinite if then it doesn't mean its thinking Yeah math magical shit

58:21 Well, I believe that AI... Yeah and the reporting on this stuff is dreadful. People go to the end course of Google guys they keep everybody out who might be critical yeah like you like you where's your invite? You know I don't get invited anymore because they stopped but just wait is what are gonna do it so it's all controlled. I remember I would do the same thing beyond it to be honest about it You don't want some Debbie Downers going in there and saying this is bullcrap what they're doing. It's no good! No, it's not. I'm sorry... table moving down

GDPR Implementation, Singapore Airport Facial Recognition

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is set to take effect in the European Union on May 25th, introducing strict rules on data collection and the "right to be forgotten." Simultaneously, Singapore's Changi Airport is exploring facial recognition to locate late passengers. The discussion questions how effectively the EU can police data minimization for global tech services.

gdpr· european union· data privacy· singapore airport· facial recognition

59:00 Moving up, moving down. Singapore Airport now also considering using facial recognition systems to find late passengers so I'll just be walking around scanning your face to see if you're late for your flight what happened to the old way which is like Ding dong, Mr. Curry! We are ready for you aboard our plane and everyone's on board if you don't board immediately we'll have to be forced to take your luggage off the plane. Ding dong!" That was the nice way to do it. You go oh crap I can't believe that you run now you're gonna be assaulted. I think that's funnier yeah certainly more interesting and it's more of a way I could imagine being done in Singapore

59:44 Which is where they're probably gonna have the meeting with Kim Jong-un. Yeah, but in 12 days the GDRP goes into effect in EU, the General Data Protection Regulation. In short it's something I don't believe these guys... well I know they don't like it, I don't know if they can actually perform their services without it. The idea behind It's twofold. One, you should be able to... well they already kind of have the delete anything if I want rule so if it was like look I don't want any of my data on your server you have to go and delete at all which is not a process that's published anywhere easily defined like oh this is how I do it no

1:00:27 certainly not for every organization or company. Data has to be, if the data is stored anywhere in the EU on servers there's all kinds of privacy regulations which are reasonably good The big thing though is and I don't know how they're ever going to police this it is not allowed for a service an online service to grab more data than it needs for you to use the service So that's very subjective, certainly when it comes to faceback. Data that you give or data that you technically generate there are questions whether they need to perform the service for you They needed to perform the service for themselves

1:01:15 So I don't know how they're going to police it. I think we'll see, you know billion euro fines which will just be cost of doing business to these jabronis but May 25th is when that all kicks off and it should solve everything so were reliably informed. Well, I have a little off the wall clip for you. All right from PBS. See if you can there's a clip i have here and you do you have to tell me what you think irks me about this clip all right uh okay let me find the clip promotion of motion of k on cake promotion on KQED is our educational station

Darren brought us the artwork for episode 1032 titled That Going Vertical. Comicstripblogger had not created any artwork, so this was a great piece!

1:04:42 Killing the planet with uh, with a dog. The angry ass dog there kind of in a Sex pistols never mind the bollocks kind of letter type I like that yeah, I thought it was good cover good colors nice Yeah, yellow and black is always a winner jumped out we got some tweets people liked as well so Thank you very much, Darren O'Neill. We really appreciate you doing the artwork as for all of our artists and they diligently uploaded noagendaartgenerator.com before we post-produce the show which is right after the show that during it during the show stuff shows up on T shirts and mugs at noagendashop.com And everyone gets credit and they get paid. It's a good thing, it's part of our value network here that we call the No Agenda Show. It is the best podcast in the universe and we have value coming in from our executive and associate executive producers today. Well, we have our monthly donation to start things off. Our monthly donation from Sir Onimus of Dogpatch in Lower Selbovia. Ah! Nice. He also includes one of his

1:05:43 notes which everybody gives forward to. I must tell you he and i now have an email convo? He's emailing me stuff? He mentioned this. Oh okay good This is a long note to Adam, so you don't have to read it. But here's the official note. Thank you too and all the producers that keep this show packed with information and value to its listeners. Producers with bog information boots on the ground rather than opinions to match your agenda make sure twice weekly show valuable to listeners like me now we've tried to establish who this guy is he You know, I think he's Saudi intelligence personally. Saudi intelligence no less! I like that idea He is a Muslim But why would you be trying to out him on the show? Well... I have no idea. He could work for Iran for all I know Or he could work for the CIA. I don't know what he does

1:06:42 But he seems to be going to lower Slobovia quite a bit. No, okay well... That is I'm back from lower Slobovia and notice the significant battery drain as I re-entered the grid He could also work for an oil company? Yeah! He could be a sociologist? He could be a professor? And he could be from Brechtel He could be from the U, it could be from anywhere. As I re-entered the grid so he's traveling and just got back and noticed even with no Google Apple or Facebook accounts it seems every little bit of information was refreshed from my digital footprint we may try to use moccasins and leave small footprints but Bigfoot maybe a more fitting description if you can only be as elusive as bigfoot So it bothers him that he walks into the country

1:07:34 And his phone starts overheating and draining. It's starting to drain, which is if you remember an old show where JC was working in the city and Obama was coming to town staying at the hotel across from his business place of business and he says everybody's phone went dead they just drained it. Drained the battery yeah well you know if indeed is Saudi intelligence He's coming in like, oh there he is. There's our seronymous flip it on boys Let's see what he did over there though I'm sure he sees so careful that I Like you says doesn't have any of these accounts on his phone. You just uses it let me guess he uses it to make calls Yeah well then he should throw away this smartphone and get himself a Nokia e71 now I think he went to China

1:08:31 Because he says, Adam I didn't see any belts. I did have a brief tires on the road experience and if all the OBOR roads are constructed like the one that I experienced Central and well, it just says it. Central and Western China will have great trade access over time so he's driving around here and he's noticing what I notice when I go over there. No potholes. Haven't been there for awhile? It's like holy no potholes! Exactly John, you would be envious of the roads being built through some of the godforsaken places. A modern day great wall of China engineering feet

1:09:11 Yeah, and there you have it. That summarizes the whole thing right there compared to what we have here in the US interstate system highway 80 filled with potholes and chuck holes that were taxed to death in California they can't fix the roads They can't do anything They're jacking up the price for gasoline To make it higher than usual than any other state We're paying at least a buck a gallon more than everybody else And it's just a lot of corruption stealing the money There's got to be less corruption in China. I never know when to start it! There has gotta be less corruption in China than there is in California. Well, that may be true...

1:09:49 Anyway, so he's back. Well we're happy to have him back happy to have him back safe well Let me finish John I sent a rather long email to Adam So you won't have to read it It was a comment about my perspective on scouting for my long years as the leader But probably too long to read on the show so he's got he's a Boy Scout troop, but is an Eagle scout Another one. Wishing peace and happiness to all during this upcoming Ramadan season, May 16th. Let the fasting begin! No jingles no karma. When does Ramadan start? May 16th Because I'll tell you the thing to do is now in Holland they used to do that when we actually were living in Belgium when Ramadan was on a drive up to Breda which was in The Netherlands and go to the Purple Rain coffee shop but I'd go there just around sunset

1:10:38 Because the guys who work there they would have tons of gas stove set up and all kinds of things Already because the minute the minute the Sun was down. That's when they really start to go insane with their cooking and some fantastic food Really really good I don't know where we do that in the US they can cook oh for sure All right, uh back to the NJNK. Well thank you very much sir Anonymous of Dogpatch and we had to toll him up he's way past baron and He's probably a duke of some sort well why don't we tell it doesn't want any of that stuff because there's no reason Well it's highly appreciated saving the day saving Mother's Day as usual Thank You so much Sir Anonymous. You know The curious thing was he came in on the last year's Mother's Day too just by coincidence Maybe he loves his mom

Insys Therapeutics Kickback Scheme, Fentanyl Pill Mill Doctors

Federal prosecutors have charged executives from Insys Therapeutics, including founder John Kapoor, for a scheme involving kickbacks to doctors who prescribed the fentanyl spray Subsys. The company allegedly used "speaker programs" and hired doctors' relatives as bribes to encourage off-label prescriptions. The lack of mainstream media coverage on this specific pharmaceutical scandal is noted.

insys therapeutics· john kapoor· subsys· fentanyl· kickbacks· opioid crisis

1:26:09 It was an interesting story, I think this was NPR about the pill mill doctors and you know these the doctors who are really i think are largely responsible for the opioid crisis or certainly didn't help by getting people hooked on pills and giving away too many pills. You know Kanye West would be a fine example of that yep um and actually there's a holdover from the last show And this is about kickbacks and how they work. And I just thought it was an interesting story to share. Funny, I never heard this. Did you ever hear this story?

1:26:55 Ever? No, why would I hear this story. It's an important story but it has...it's about drugs and pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical companies so what mainstream media outlet is going to push a story like this? Yeah the only one doing it as NPR did I guess they don't have sponsorships by drug company. Along with several other executives. I'm talking about John Kapoor and his company Insys. InSys makes a painkiller called Subsys which contains fentanyl Now, according to federal prosecutors the company allegedly gave kickbacks to doctors who wrote subsist prescriptions by having them participate in a speakers program. We know that pharma companies market to doctors but this is different tell me how? A speaker program is a pretty widely used tool in the industry it involves drug companies hiring doctors to give talks about the benefit of the product other doctors

1:27:49 The way INCIS used it was as a tool essentially to bribe doctors to prescribe. You dole out the speaker fees, you expect prescriptions in return if you don't get them, you drop the doctor from the program at least if he listened to prosecutors this is what happened and how much money we talking about here? The top 10 speakers each made over $200,000 from the program Why target doctors in this way? Drug companies are not permitted to promote their product. quote, off-label which means for unapproved uses. But doctors are permitted to write drugs off label so if you can find doctors who are willing to be liberal with opioids or with any drug... To say yes this is a cancer drug but I'm going to give it to you for back pain or whatever? Exactly! You know which by the way is a common practice It's legal but with opioids

1:28:48 You know, you have doctors who are plainly unethical. Pill mill doctors essentially and they become a kind of asset to the drug company if they can find somebody like that there's not a lot stopping them from aggressively marketing the drug I think it is widely used practice so this is not out in the clear blue sky but Insys was just a little bit more crude about it, I think you could say. They not only... You know there was the speaker program money but there was more than that they hired the relatives of doctors which prosecutors will tell you is a form of kickback yeah they hired the girlfriends they hired romantic crushes it was really this attempt to insinuate themselves into the lives of the top prescribers

1:29:38 And it seems to have worked. Yeah, Trump should be talking about this! This is outrageous! Totally and more outrageous you don't hear this story I had no idea this took place Of course not why would you hear it? No we went through that but it's at a certain point even Tucker Carlson didn't do the story as far as I know and he might... He might, maybe he did but doubted by Woody Well, he's done stuff like this before about SSRIs. Yeah I think somebody shut him up he hasn't done it for a while That's what i'm figuring yeah Damn man well so there you go that's uh...I was explaining to the keeper last night

1:30:22 I said, our economy runs on drugs legal and illegal. Well i'm surprised Trump might go after this thing and talk about because he's but he's already gone after the prescription drug prices yeah and I think even though it sounds...I don't know if he's doing the right kind of job I think this is just a threat Because he knows that the mainstream media outlets rely on these drug companies and their high-priced drugs Right, so what keep them in business? So this is a way of attacking the media. Oh Yes But it didn't do much did I thought it you know I was watching the markets and you know this announcement came and it was kind of like whatever No one seemed to care

1:31:06 Well, the analysis from the market perspective was that oh this is bad and all the stocks did drop. And then they started looking at what the proposal was and they said hey this guy isn't going to have any teeth don't worry about it went back up so yeah that's that was the basic theory. Yeah but this pill mill thing I mean that's got to be going on with other companies Meanwhile, that goes on you have this story which is the CBD story. Hold on I was just elsewhere okay CBD... It's rich in a cannabis compound called CBD. Cbd won't get you high and while it's legal to use and sell in California A panel of judges for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just sided with the DEA The DEA maintains CBD is a schedule one controlled substance

Norman Lear Center, Hollywood Health and Society Storylines

The Hollywood Health & Society program at the USC Annenberg Norman Lear Center is identified as a source of "accurate" storylines for television shows like Grey's Anatomy and Law & Order. Funded by organizations such as the CDC and the Gates Foundation, the group provides "tip sheets" to writers to influence public perception on topics like climate change, vaccines, and national security. The hosts characterize this as a political operation embedded in entertainment.

1:31:57 dangerous drug with no known medical benefit and a high potential for abuse just like heroin. Jennifer Dan Kubisch of San Jose. CBD changed my son's life as an infant Zach was diagnosed with a dangerous form of epilepsy The doctors said he'd never walk or talk. He would not survive. Zach's now five years old. He is walking, and he is talking... We don't have seizures really anymore. You know this has actually something just hit me and I was keeping this segment for maybe after the next stuff of the you know the e-block it hit me that where is the Lear Foundation in all of this?

1:32:42 Where's the where are those guys writing storylines that go against opioid abuse and Tell people about the real dangers. Well, they're too busy finding anti-trump Storylines well interestingly I had a look at what they're doing the other day and it's just work Yeah, well they have a website And which I didn't even really know, I guess. Well you know they're part of the USC Annenberg Norman Lear Center and they are actually the Hollywood Health & Society group or subgroup. And there's a whole bunch of stuff that we never had before in which i want to share they have a one pager get the facts fast free our services so this is what they provide to hollywood

1:33:31 Quick question we provide quick answers. We understand your timelines and get you the information You need our staff is experienced in TV film production as well as public health science and medicine We've got consultants our extensive database of experts can answer questions And offer perspective with specialists in science medicine healthcare national security and more notice science medicine health care None of that, I've seen no storylines about this They've got briefings, panels on location and storylines. I got a couple of shows... Here's what I'm going to say. Think of it this way

1:34:12 Trump and Jeff Sessions are dead set against the legalization of marijuana in any way, shape or form. You can run a storyline showing that how CBD is saving some poor people and there's way too much evidence that CBD does what they say about the epileptics. And then showed you could show Trump and sessions as two evil men preventing this from happening because they hate kids. Well, I do have two clips to play to tell you what they're really how they really think and my conclusion. I can tell you up front these are just mainly frustrated writers who think they know much better and should be writing all the shows And uh... These stupid people don't know what their doing thank God we're here to show truth in fact that's pretty much my takeaway Shows with work though we've never had this list previously

1:35:06 No, we have not. So again the Lear Foundation or in this case the Hollywood Health and Society part of the Norman Lear Center at University of Southern California. They put in storylines, mainly climate change has been their big driver and they help and they consult with writers to come up with storylines that are true and perfect very much like the clip you played on The Last Show where if someone's a terrorist it's gotta be a white Christian guy because that's what they do so here are some other shows That they have provided their writing services for all my children black box body of proof Boston legal brothers and sisters Castle desperate housewives extreme makeover weight loss General Hospital George Lopez's gray anatomy how to get away with murder invasion Lucky seven invasion wasn't that the one with the you played the clip from no I think it was ransom Okay, lucky said by the way before he continue.

CHAPTER 21 / 32 Discussion

World War Z, Hollywood Collective Action Narratives

A comparison is made between Max Brooks' book "World War Z" and the Brad Pitt film adaptation. The discussion highlights how Hollywood prefers "hero" narratives over the book's theme of "collective action" and diffuse adaptation. Panelists from the Lear Center discuss the "Trojan Horse" method of sneaking nuanced or political messages into big-budget films through popular source material.

world war z· max brooks· brad pitt· collective action· hollywood tropes

1:40:02 This is, um... I'm a very big fan of the book World War Z by Max Brooks. I love that book it's great. The biggest enemy of the film World War Z, the Brad Pitt movie and it's not just because it was derivative enough about that message of the book this is not a spoiler because its oral history of the zombie apocalypse The message of the book is that when you have a giant problem, the only way you solve it is by getting serious about the nature of the problem. Collective action, no heroes, nobody's going to come there is no cavalry, it's a diffuse sort of everybody has to adapt to this situation in their own way. The message of the movie is Brad Pitt as a hero who will find the answer and within five minutes, the whole world is fixed with him finding an answer! And that's exactly

1:40:46 But those latter narratives dominate our discussion of disaster movies and alien movies, and they are totally wrong. That is not how history has ever worked! Do you get an idea of how these people think? You get an idea what they're all about? Yeah, they're communists. It's much more the other model and so my question is aside from World War Z which I got to meet Max Brooks who was a very nice person and I appreciate his work but can you make a movie like the book and not like The Brad Pitt or is it just impossible in Hollywood? Well that's really a great question actually That's not a great question! And its complicated answer

1:41:26 that I think that, look, not to sort of you're too far off topic but we're at a place now where there's such risk aversion on the part of studios who make these big films. Anyone can make a small film that's nuanced like that but it's going to have a cap as to how many people are exposed to it so if we talking about big action movies to me the way it gets there and World War Z is an interesting example because that book was popular but it wasn't The Hunger Games. And so I think that

1:42:11 there's now such a reliance on source material as sort of a way to lower the risk so that people are at least familiar with the title, there is good chance at least certain number of people will show up when that movie opens. If there was source material that was so popular but also playing by those rules, the real rules, for instance if Hunger Games had done that, there would have been revolt if you veered too far from the book and that's probably how it would get to finish line World War Z, again it's a bit niche. It's like we like it right but it's not... you know and I first of all should say full disclosure I'm completely complicit in participating those kinds of movies You want to try to do things off the beaten path and make them feel as grounded and useful as possible But there are so many factors at play

1:43:04 Again, it's gonna need to be Trojan horse in and the way that's going to happen is through source material That has such popularity that it would be sacrilege to change it So the idea is we have two trojan horse all these ideas in yeah. That's what these guys are about like this Yeah, these guys are douchebags Yeah, I'm more politically oriented and actually entertainment oriented. These are not the kind of people you want to hire if you're in Hollywood They don't care about entertainment value what the public might enjoy They wanted they got this messages and they gotta sneak these messages in on the Trojan horse So there all that's all they're about You cannot trust people like that And also I think this is a very the way the organization set up with these panels and experts. I mean it really

Symantec Router Security Claims, Real to Reel Newsletter

Eric Chien of Symantec discusses the importance of patching home routers to prevent them from being harnessed for large-scale cyberattacks. The segment also reviews the "Real to Reel" newsletter from Hollywood Health & Society, which lists upcoming focus areas for TV writers, including HIV risk in youth, geriatric independence, and vulnerabilities in U.S. military space systems.

symantec· cybersecurity· routers· real to reel· hiv· military space systems

1:43:52 invites all kinds of, you know funny business. For instance let's say I worked at a cyber security company... Let's say an antivirus company and i wanted to plan my advertising why wouldn't I go to the Lear Foundation Hollywood Health & Society and talk about how incredibly scary everything is? And get people to use my product Because that'll be written into stories. They'll know when the story's in market. Sounds like good marketing to me! Here is Eric Cheen from Symantec People don't think it matters And he's there at the Institute They say, look I have this computer and i'm not doing anything important... ...I don't care what's on it or I just got this latest router for my home and you know.. ..i dont need to pay attention to it who's spying on me? What do I care? What people dont realize is those devices are being infected and being used and harnessed To conduct attacks

1:44:51 on other people. The internet in the US went down a couple of months ago, Facebook was down, Instagram was down Amazon was down Netflix was down and that's because people had these routers in their home that remained unpatched they didn't keep them up to date and of course they individually, their router you know they didn't care about that but they cared when the internet went down and didn't realize it was their device that was conducting attack on third party so it requires everyone be a good citizen in order protect the computing infrastructure and internet Wait a minute. Are you telling me the home routers during that outage, it was a bunch of home routers that weren't patched? That's what this guy is saying! Well the next day it was the same home routers that weren't patched when's the last time anyone patches them I mean I do mine once in awhile but not often But this sounds like nonsense So let's look at just to wrap up Let's look at the Spring Reel2Reel newsletter

1:45:42 And that is R-E-A-L 2R-E-E-L. Get it? I get it, yeah So maybe we'll see these stories popping up because I think that this is how it would work So they have a story here stigma lack of health care put 13 to 24 year olds at HIV risk so young kids age We just run jot this down troll room So many populations are affected with HIV AIDS including the LGBTQ community in the black community women and girls so look for some aid stories Geriatrician wants to give older adults back their independence. So let's look for old folk home storylines diverse people with disabilities ooh nice

1:46:28 Infant fine following birth, but mom was another story. I'm not sure what that's about US military space systems vulnerable to cyber attacks hmm That could be a good storyline yeah now you're talking And those are the headlines that's all they got for the further first spring oh well There could be variations not just one all of this information is in the show notes and a shownotes calm have a look at these guys Hollywood health and society org You could even join them as a writer. Yeah, I could it should alright good luck with that Well, no, I have some propaganda clips. I want to play okay

ABC News Native Advertising, Chili's Data Breach Report

ABC News is accused of utilizing "reverse native ads" by running negative stories about companies like Apple to pressure them into advertising. A report on an iPhone 6S catching fire is cited as an example. Additionally, a report on a data breach at Chili's Grill & Bar is criticized for including "spurious" promotional information about the restaurant's menu items.

abc news· native advertising· apple· chili's· data breach· ar-15

1:47:13 And I think this one tacks onto that thing because I believe this was put in, the way the story's presented. It was part of one of these groups insisting on it being told a certain way. Only ABC carried this and ABC has three clips from ABC. This is a mania, some girl broke up with a guy and then ran off with another guy so this guy went nuts and started driving around shooting at the guy who was driving, trying to get away in his truck. Are they able to tie it to Trump somehow? No, they never do but they kind of do and you'll see what I mean... You'll catch this because it's just too funny! Anyway so this guy is driving around shooting like crazy and he's shooting out the window trying to kill this guy then the cops ram him and then he gets him together got turns or somewhere that yeah the guys didn't drives off and shoots himself

1:48:07 None of this story makes any sense unless there's some drug-related, you know, you guys taking sh... something, some pill. But here's the way the stories present this maniac shooter ABC. We can never come up with every scenario but our officers were trained well enough to think on their feet. Officers struck Selena's car three times as he continued to fire shots police said that terrifying chase ended when the suspect turned the gun on himself taking his own life Tom the boyfriend was not seriously injured. Investigators say the suspect had no prior run-ins with the law and inside his car they found three weapons including an AR 15. Tom? Yeah, yeah so these guys shooting he's got a pistol I guess is shooting at this guy as he's driving and then they gratuitously mentioned the ar15. Why not? Which by the way is the most popular rifle in the United States so it's not like it some holy crap

1:49:08 Well, we need to mention these things. This is the Thaler Foundation! Now in the news... Oh I'm sorry. Go ahead but no i'm gonna do back-to-backs. You're doing back to backs yeah? ABC, which I've been following recently is known and we haven't documented so many as I used to. They are known for putting native ads in their probably it's the C or D block near the end they throw these native ads in there sometimes they're positive native ad and I think they've developed this new thesis and I think I pointed one or two of these out on the last show but when I point this one out

1:49:47 where somebody's not advertising enough. So we got to run a shitty story about them? So let's run a story on it and ABC is the worst at this, nobody else does it as much as they do but seriously ABC reverse native ad Surveillance video showing an iPhone 6S catching fire on a counter just feet from an employee. That phone under repair for a cracked screen, possibly due to heat damage and an expanding battery No injuries reported and so far no response from Apple to our request for comment. Nah! You mean our request for advertising? Yeah I was thinking it was the sales guy. Hey! We want to know about your iPhone 6 Do you want to advertise the iPhone 8

1:50:32 That's exactly what I was thinking. Yeah, good catch! Good one Now another one which is why I haven't been really noticing the native ads is because they actually couch them in real news stories but kind of the giveaway here is the way they do the new story with all this spurious information and the fact that very few other outlets even go with this story so I believe this is probably the most modern type of native ad This is ABC at it again And you may love their baby back ribs, but tonight a nationwide warning for Chili's customers. The restaurant reporting people who visited the chain between March and April may have had their credit or debit information hacked. Chili says it is working with third party forensics team to get to bottom of the breach. Customers warn to keep close eye on statements. Chili has some 1600 restaurants in dozens of countries.

1:51:27 Go, go there now! Starting the segment off with you may love their baby back ribs plugging one of the menu items. I mean come on... Yeah well they gotta do what they got to do Don't I don't see how they can last forever with the business model. They employ currently it just doesn't seem possible working pretty well speaking of hacks Equifax had to admit remember that the big data breach they had Passport numbers were stolen as well Good work everybody very good work here's what I wanted Always a fun segment on the best podcast in universe, so I present to you our

George W. Bush Foreign Policy, Monica Lewinsky Snub

Former President George W. Bush's recent public comments on foreign policy are briefly discussed, noting a shift in public sentiment toward him. In a separate story, Town & Country magazine apologized to Monica Lewinsky after she was disinvited from a charity event because Bill Clinton was attending. The incident is framed as a failure of the "Me Too" movement to support victims over aggressors.

george w. bush· monica lewinsky· bill clinton· town & country· me too movement

1:52:16 George W. Bush. The big headlines about the foreign policy moves this week, Max was the risk of US isolation let's listen to former president George W. Bush very important for our fellow citizens is to remember these words from Winston Churchill I think we can conclude drunk on that one. Our former citizenship shins. Hey citizens how you doing? Somehow I think everyone kind of loves him again. It's very strange, you know? Well it's because they hate Trump so much they gotta love somebody. They got to love some Republican somewhere although the hashtag me too movement i think really did a disservice to Monica Lewinsky

1:53:06 The US magazine Town & Country has apologized to Monica Lewinsky over a social snub involving a charity event. The former White House intern caused a stir on social media after tweeting that she was disinvited because Bill Clinton RSVP'd to the same event. The magazine says it regrets how the situation was handled. Yes, indeed! Wow, what a great story. Yeah me too. Oh Clinton oh that's pretty he's great let him come in and then kick Monica out I mean they literally Maybe it was a rendezvous you guys screwed it up yeah It was the literal example of choosing the aggressor over the victim. Yeah Just blows me away blows me away By the way just a subliminal question this hashtag Me Too

1:54:00 Yeah. Do you remember when... what did we used to call the hashtag? Hashtag? No, what was that symbol? The pound sign Thank you I like Pound Me Too just as well. I think it's a good slogan. Pound me too?! I think that does a bit much But that's what it looks like to older people! Yeah, guess it might It could be subliminal It might! Pound me too Now uh This is because of NBC is I believe as my thesis has it under attack by Roger Stone. You know Matt Lauer and all these other guys are been kicked off the network but NBC decided to do an investigation, but the big joke in the industry Is that they're just investigating them so they're not bringing anybody into doing anything professional And I just thought we should get this out of the way this is the NBC investigates itself

NBC Internal Investigation, Matt Lauer Sexual Misconduct Report

NBCUniversal released the findings of an internal investigation into Matt Lauer's conduct, concluding that leadership had no prior knowledge of his behavior before the November 2017 complaint. Critics, including the attorney for Lauer's first accuser, argue that the investigation should have been conducted by a third party rather than the company's own general counsel.

1:54:57 fiasco. Now to the news hitting close to home at NBC News, today NBC Universal released the findings of its months-long internal investigation in the wake of Matt Lauer's firing in November after he was accused of sexual misconduct as part of this investigation 68 people were interviewed including current leadership as well as current and former Today Show staff including anchors and correspondents. NBC Stephanie Goss has the details Nearly six months after the sudden firing of longtime Today Show anchor Matt Lauer, NBCUniversal's report concludes there is no evidence indicating that any NBC News or Today Show leadership received any complaints about Lauer workplace behavior before November of last year when a woman came forward to the company accusing Lauer of sexual misconduct. Lauer was fired roughly 24 hours later three

1:55:51 Three other women then reported their own allegations to the company, stretching back to 2000. The investigative team led by NBCUniversal's general counsel found those accusations credible. Two of the four women said that they believe former management knew or must have known about Lauer's alleged inappropriate sexual behavior. The investigators said they found no proof of that. In a statement today, Lauer writes in part, there are aspects of the NBC report with which I clearly disagree. Noting that a day after being fired, I took responsibility for those relationships apologize to the people I hurt. Ari Wilkenfeld the attorney for the woman who first accused Lauer says NBC should have had a third party conduct the investigation. Why can't somebody within the company with the kind of integrity and credentials of this general counsel conduct an investigation that's fair and thorough?

1:56:42 I don't think they'll get full and truthful answers to people who have been afraid to come forward until now there's no reason they should be less afraid at this point a spokesperson for NBCUniversal says the investigation was thorough and objective Yeah, why'd you put that in the blockchain bitches then we'll know if you're transparent about it okay What I did was right That's great I have, let's see. I got two unhinged clips here Actually the first clip is... this is a beautiful Just tell me what's wrong with what they're saying here at NPR The president delivers a call to arms at a campaign rally in Indiana last night You have to work every day between now and November To elect more Republicans So what role should Trump play for the GOP? So you know, I find that a little on the edge there With this call to arms

North Korea Denuclearization, US Economic Rebuild Offer

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's visit to North Korea and the release of American prisoners are discussed in the context of the upcoming Singapore summit. The U.S. has reportedly offered to help rebuild the North Korean economy in exchange for complete denuclearization. The hosts suggest that the "deal" is likely already finalized and will involve opening the country to international tourism and development.

north korea· kim jong-un· mike pompeo· denuclearization· singapore summit

1:57:43 You know, is this a subliminal like get your guns Republican? They think that way. Yes they do. They really do and this was actually Kathy Aru I think her name is and she was on Fox it was pretty funny they even called her out as being a hater. And who changes his mind who's uncertain... This is about North Korea and Trump of course. Not quite sure what he's gonna do next so So we have a world of uncertainty right now. We do know the tariffs are in effect? But things are uncertain, oil prices go up when things are unstable and uncertain I mean that's been happened in the past so... Or when things are going well! Well but we could say that things are unstable so he supposed to convince us that things will be stable were supposed to trust someone I mean Kim Jong-un is supposed to trust that this president gonna keep his word so we have two...So you trust Kim Jong-Un more than the President? It's scary actually

1:58:39 At this moment, I'm not quite sure who to trust. That's a Fox alert that you buried there that you trust the North Korean leader more than Donald Trump. I know your liberal but your not clueless right? Well i was just saying how does this leader trust this leader we have two leaders that are unstable and unpredictable See this is your Trump hatred now out of control It's not out of control I am just saying he's so unpredictable How are we going to trust him? That's the general thinking. Unstable, out of control... Now, it has one on its own list Well regarding North Korea though and this only showed up in BBC so far but I think this might become a meme because i could see how we could run with if we were running CNN or MSNBC or ABC NBC or CBS You know what is the deal with North Korea? What are we doing? What are we giving them

1:59:34 in return for denuclearization, our prisoners back and you know the reunification of the Koreas. What are we getting in return? I mean no agenda producers know because we've been talking about it for a long time. Yeah they're gonna open up North Korea to tourism amongst other things and only the BBC published a story headline, US offers to help rebuild North Korea economy if it denuclearizes. Yeah this is jobs! Jobs jobs jobs! Not just that but we're gonna have a Trump Hotel? Oh yeah no kidding I mean that's this if anyone and now I understand how... And by the way the Trump hotel once Trump is out would be the number one hotel in North Korea period Yes

2:00:25 And there'll be a statue of Trump. There will be Trump Avenue! Yeah, there will be Trump Avenue just like George Bush in Georgia. In Georgia... yeah in the country Georgia he's got George Bush Airport, George Bush Boulevard and I think this is how it went Pompeo went over there said yo Kim We're gonna build baby. We're gonna build this place. We're gonna make this place so spectacular. We're going to build-build-build-build. We gotta build her as a president bro There was a lot of staging going on though. If you saw those videos of Pompeo and Kim Jong-un meeting, Just the position of the cameras told, said to me that they were prepared. This was not like our delegation meeting their delegation. Oh here we are the two sides crazy what's gonna happen? There was over-the-shoulder there was reverse angles and they had everything so it's I think the deal was done a long time ago probably you're so right about what's location Malaysia no Singapore

Mother's Day Tributes, Hawaii Kilauea Volcano Eruption

The discussion shifts to the Kilauea volcano eruption in Hawaii, noting the media's lack of interest unless a political angle can be found. Other news items include the collapse of the U.S. recycling industry due to China's refusal of scrap materials and a horrific report of sexual violence and murder in Jharkhand, India.

Now the following people are $50 donors, name and location Robert Weber in San Jose Patricia Dame, Patricia Worthington in Miami Florida haven't heard from her for a while hello Brendan Savoy import orchard Washington Brett Yo in Cantonville Maryland Dave in Atlanta Georgia Jonathan Ferris and liberal Kansas Matthew Bosch

2:12:21 pronounce Bosch is in Hawaii. Yes, and I believe he... Is there a note here about the... yes i think he has a knighthood lined up for today so let me read this from Matt Bosh in Kapolei, Hawai'i. Aloha! Kapolei, Kapolei, Hawaii. Aloha loa, Uncle Adam and Uncle John. I've been living here in Gitmo Nation, Aloha for a few years working as a brada named Ben! Today is my 32nd birthday my last day on the island of Oahu so why not celebrate the occasion with a knighthood accounting blow? If the title has not been taken i'd like to be known as Sir Howley Knight Of The Second City and humbly request that POG & POI

2:13:06 Pog, pog poi. The pronunciation is actually howly not how-lee. Howley? Well he put a hyphen in there. Well he said it's if you read it howly it did fine but as fact it could also be mispronounced but his howlies are referred to the white devils that inhabit Hawaii. So he wants pog and poi which is passion orange guava juice and pounded taro root to be at the table He'd also like to request some Trump jobs karma and take as he takes a new job and get my nation east Oh at the clue clue clue. Oh, he wants the clue clue coolio jingle at the end of the show Mahalo to both of you for the best kina pod peanut keena podcast This is Hawaiian stuff man is I there's one thing? I have to say and I love the islands of Hawaii

2:13:56 But Hawaiians often think, or people who live there think that we understand what the hell you're saying. We really don't get much further than aloha and what else do we know in Hawaiian? Mahalo! And haole, that's the main one actually. All of the other stuff...you know it's like we're not really versed in that so Well, poi you know what that is and yeah it's only good there. It's kind of like Guinness. It's only good there? Oh, you don't like the Austin Poi? Huh? Austin Poi I already heard a very good thing off YouTube. I should post this, it was a woman lecturing about these volcanic eruption on the big island is that all these islands are formed because there's one volcano under way down at the bottom that's got a pipe coming straight up and it keeps blowing up every so often but the tectonic plates shift and if you look at a map on Google Maps you can see

2:14:55 when each island was formed and where the whole thing started, which is in Siberia. You see little bumps and bumps mostly little mountains and then as it gets longer we wait longer and longer now you have this big Island is the last place with the same one volcano which has made all the other islands has been staying so nothing's moved enough to form the next Island in Hawaii chain yet Well, this has to stop and then you have to wait a few hundred years or 1,000 maybe when everything shifts enough so that a new island can form. And that should be even bigger than Hawaii which is pretty big. Well for all of our Hawaiian friends and producers out there I just want you know nobody gives a crap about you in the media here

2:15:42 I do have one clip. They show a little bit of B-roll and then it's like, eh, yeah magma whatever you know stuff. Yeah, I agree that if they could prove Trump had something to do with it then we'd be all over it but they really don't care about you. You probably have your local news and there are tons of stories... We get few here on the coast Well they had another false alarm, a tsunami alert that went out on the IPAWS system so that happened again But otherwise, we don't hear about what's going on. And I think it's much worse than we realize or much more impactful when you see them. I wish they just show more aerials because they're fantastic anyway let's get the last three out of here Robert Bruckner Richard Gardiner who comes in quite often and i think he must be a Sir Richard Gardiner by now and then Kirsten Gleb The Pop Money Girl ah nice

2:16:33 Well, thank you. Thank you very much on behalf of moms everywhere. Thank you for coming in with your your Mother's Day greetings and For those of you who caught it? Thanks for doing 1033 donations the 33 code was there We definitely missed an opportunity but our love for moms is strong And this is why. Of course we will have another show on Thursday, we'd love to see more support from you at Dvorak dot org slash N A and a couple of requests here's the end. Fucking cancer! Fucking cancer! What the fuck? Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Let's vote for jobs You've got... Karma.

Obama Foundation Global Platform, Young Leaders Program

Former President Barack Obama spoke in Japan about the expansion of the Obama Foundation's "Young Leaders" programs. He described the foundation as a digital platform to create "hundreds, thousands, or millions of young Barack Obamas." The hosts criticize the phrasing as narcissistic and compare the foundation's model to the Clinton Foundation's access-based system.

2:17:24 Alright, here's what I got for you today. A nice list actually we've got Jason Becker celebrating today Timothy Elliott turns 25 on May 23rd Laura Wilson says happy birthday to a fab hubby Sir Austin of the Snowy Cascades he celebrated yesterday Richard Pluch 33 on May 7th belated happy birthday to you sir Robert Romeo 49 today and Matthew Bosch also celebrating his birthday 32 years young today congratulations for everybody here the best podcast in the universe We've got one two three four well actually three nightings one daming it's a good day So if you could grab that blade there, sir It's good enough

2:18:07 On stage here at the podium, please Jason Becker Matthew Bosch Beth Johnson and Dean Wormald The four of you have contributed to the no agenda show in the amount of $1,000 or more that gives you the coveted seat at the Noah Jenner Roundtable of the Knights and Dames and I am proud to pronounce the case Sir Jason, Sir Howley Knight of the Second City Beth Johnson Dame of the Milfs Surgeon Watcher of the Stargate Protector of Fish for you we have Hookers and Blow, Royce Bowies and Chardonnay Pog & Poy, Dame Elisa Limoncello and Samus Rabbit meat and goat milk, Dr. Pepper in a quick handy, boobs and stinky tofu cold brew coffee and cannabis bourbon and bong rips We got breast milk and pablam germ juror adjurables and ginger ale and mutton and mead at no agenda nation comm slash rings Eric the shill has everything set up over there head over there and give him is given your Dimensions of your finger And he will send out the rings to you as soon as possible Thank you for supporting the work here at the NOA gender show our value for value model where we don't tell you what to do

2:19:08 You want to you just want to listen fine. You want to help us out? That's how you do it Dvorak org slash na again, thank you and Obama is Still well actually he's kind of I think he's ramping up a little bit his ramping up as public profile Yeah, why oh books to sell his mailing list while the foundation is starting He's got the funds and it's now just the Obama Foundation. This is interesting. It's a little late to the game, I mean this whole foundation scam it's gonna...it's not going on though if you think he may not be able pull off the Clinton bit? Honestly, I think he's not corrupt enough to pull off the Clinton bit. I just don't see it in him. I don't think he can do this. You're probably right. It's really not his nature. We've groused about him a lot but I don't think its his nature because the way that you have access

2:20:02 which means you have access into government, without a doubt he has. He has access now of course he's raising his profile right now I'm sure he'll be campaigning for the midterms and whoever helps that is access people donate to the foundation and he gives them access into the government it's not like its a genius new thing but really go to the extent the Clintons have gone doubtful But he's in Japan and he is doing a little speech, and I thought it was fun to listen in. So we set up young leaders programs first in Africa then in Southeast Asia where we would bring these young leaders in various fields together so that they could learn from each other We could give them the tools to expand the work that they were doing. We can publicize their efforts and promote it

2:20:53 And after I left office, what I realized is that the Obama Foundation could potentially create a platform for young up-and-coming leaders both in the United States but all around the world to come together meet together create a digital platform where they could exchange information on an ongoing basis about projects that we were working on. I noticed he still has the S issues that he used to have Which which a lot of people were happy that he left office because we wouldn't And that if I could do that effectively Then you know, I would create a hundred or a thousand What would he create John 100 a thousand or a million of what? Soldiers well close. You got to think more narcissistic and

2:21:55 You know, I would create a hundred or thousand or million young Barack Obamas. Or Michelle Obama's. Millions of young Obamas! There is something really weird about saying that. Can you imagine if i said... I'm going to create hundreds thousands millions of Adam Currys? It will help the world!!! You know, the next group of people who could take that baton in that relay race that is human progress and continue to build on the work we have done. I don't know... Lots of speech writers he's gotten back what they used to bitch about him why wouldn't be a good candidate this droll professorial slow talking boring guy

Justin Trudeau Swagger, Canadian AI Strategy

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is mocked for repeatedly using the word "swagger" to describe Canada's position on the world stage during a Shopify conference. The term was later used against him in Parliament regarding his stance on Taiwan. Trudeau also spoke about the importance of AI as a "lever" for success, which the hosts dismiss as empty political rhetoric.

justin trudeau· canada· swagger· artificial intelligence· shopify· taiwan

2:22:55 Yeah, true. True. That was very boring couldn't have been worse But I thought the hundreds thousands or millions of little obamas The content was interesting but it's just like holy mackerel speed it up a little bit Well should we... How about we go to Canada for a moment then? We don't do much on Trudeau Oh, no we don't do enough about Trudeau. Okay well he put his foot in it again and he started to use some hipster language and it came right back to him. Shopify is that a...is Shopify I think uh Is that a tech conference? Not that I may be you know look it up while you're playing the clip. I'm thinking well this um hmm yeah so Shopify yes Unite 2018 they're a Candanavian company I believe

2:23:46 Anyway, he was there. He was talking up a storm and here's part of what he was talking about there Free trade deals with every other g7 country We are the country that has the largest number of trade deals in terms of percentage of global GDP around the world And that means we are naturally well connected to draw on the global economy and to play in that global economy. So, naturally looking at ways where small businesses that come up with great solutions can actually plug into that global world in a way that is more natural for us because we don't have a massive market of 300 million people like our American neighbors do. This kind of opportunity or challenge can be turned into an opportunity that I think we need more of,

2:24:38 A little more swagger as a country, a little more of an ability to promote and demonstrate how awesome we are. We don't often do that. We don't do that enough. And if there's something I've seen over the past couple years where Canada has had a little more swagger on the world stage it's because I think we've been able to lift up and point out what Canadians are doing. Canada didn't change when the government changed two-and-a-half years ago, it is what it is. Canadians are who we are We're just doing a better job of having the confidence that we have every right to have on the world stage now Absolutely

2:25:24 So he said it twice and someone, some consultant came along and said because he's frustrated. He is clearly frustrated you know why those jerk offs in Silicon Valley get all the press? We need to show our swagger up here! Were good in Candinavia Well, that came back to him in parliament. Taiwan is being blocked from participating in the World Health Assembly which is meant to bring countries together and work on health issues 15 years ago Canada and Taiwan were on the front lines of the SARS crisis And that shows why Taiwan should be a participant Will the Prime Minister show some global swagger and take a public position in support of Taiwan joining the World Health Assembly or will he remain silent due to his admiration for basic dictatorship?

2:26:14 Mr. Speaker, it's come up a few times in this question period the Conservatives seem to have an issue with the idea of swagger The idea of Canadians being strong and proud on the world stage Canadians understanding that being back on the world stage Being positively engaged, being confident... And the thing is, he's trying to do a swagger and they're out-swaggering him in the minority. I think the whole should have started off with the word sashay. Sashay! New technologies are investments in the economy of the future are things to be proud of here in Canada No we will not apologize for swaggering when it comes to talking about Canada That's swaggering! Gotta hand it to him

2:27:09 He should actually sashay when he says swagger. That's what if we wanted to do a sashay swagger talk Crazy. You know, the I don't have access to feeds but the Canadian Parliament is 20 times better than the British parliament they yell and scream and they make this is a this is the way would you that clip was the way it is all of the time all the time back to that tech conference for a moment we wouldn't have a complete Trudeau package without him talking about AI would we? Prime Minister, I think that it's fair to say that everyone in this room the people who are watching the live stream know that we're entering into this new era of business. Much which is fueled by artificial intelligence. What lies you speak woman?

2:27:59 This is... It doesn't know what she's talking about. No one does, no one knows! AI is the backbone of everything. AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI Where's that stat come from? What bull crap is this? It's Canada. Everyone who's going to be successful over the next 10, 50 years is going to be an expert because they're suddenly an expert in AI. We have some of the most brilliant minds in the world all around the world a lot of them in Canada working on AI understanding it I think the challenge that we have as individuals as citizens as entrepreneurs consumers

2:29:14 is to figure out how to draw on AI as a tool and a lever to improve one's own success. Oh, John! AI can be used as a tool, as a lever to improve on one's success That's what we need and to improve your company success.

Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Mary Ellen Loyans Scandal

The Silicon Valley Community Foundation, which manages $13.5 billion in assets for donors like Mark Zuckerberg, is facing a scandal involving top fundraiser Mary Ellen Loyans. Allegations of emotional abuse and sexually inappropriate behavior have led to a "toxic" workplace environment and staff departures. The foundation is described as a "donor-advised" tax vehicle for tech billionaires.

2:30:43 It was a while ago that we talked about the Silicon Valley Community Foundation and Zuckerberg. Another anti-Trump operation? Well, that is a good question You know they have about... They have 13 billion dollars in assets What?! Yes! That's almost as big as Bill & Melinda Gates I don't believe this Yeah, well you know what it is? All these jabronis they donate stock and so the stock sits in their portfolio. Now this Silicon Valley Community Foundation is a donor advised foundation slash fund which isn't yet the same kind of phony baloney that... Well Zuckerberg has this and what's his name Mr Save The World Retarded DiCaprio

2:31:42 He also has a donor advised fund. So they're really, you know it's kind of a tax trick but the money still goes to good causes But yeah so they claim now that they have well this is The Chronicle of Philanthropy so I presume they might have something right or something close to the right number but they expect this number this $13.5 billion to balloon much further however there's a rift! A huge scandal going on as their Star performer there, what do you know the one has the engagement all what's her name? Well she's a fundraiser. She goes out and she raises funds as funses Mary Ellen Loyan's Do You Know Her Mary Ellen? No, no, we're doing lions well Huge scandals she's been consistent lawsuits now engaging in emotionally abusive sexually inappropriate behavior victims use words like toxic and terrible about the workplace

2:32:42 I'm surprised you haven't heard about this. Is this not... No, why? People are leaving. It sounds like she's just a bipolar manager it happens. Well yeah possible but when you say there is also sexually inappropriate behavior. I know she is woman but I am still interested if there is this kind of aggression in the workplace Yeah, me too. So let's see what happens with this because this is by itself a very interesting organization and we need to see what they're up to and what they're doing I want to get the... since you mentioned it earlier i do want to get this clip out of the way This is the volcano clip which is actually a weekend clip It's one of the weekend clips that they did on CBS I believe Which is a good little run down about where the state of the volcano

Social Media Addiction, Face-to-Face Interaction Benefits

Psychologist Susan Pinker's research on longevity is discussed, highlighting that "social integration" and face-to-face contact are the strongest predictors of a long life. Physical interactions release oxytocin and dopamine, which lower stress and provide natural pain relief. A report on the Paradigm Malibu rehab facility for teens with social media addiction illustrates the mental health risks of replacing real-world bonds with digital ones.

2:33:40 in Hawaii. is with the U.S. Geological Survey. Do people in the surrounding communities have to worry about boulders falling on their homes? No, no not at all because the boulders will only be carried in immediate vicinity of the vent

2:34:16 If there's an explosion, geologists say the largest rocks would land in this area. Marble-sized rocks could fall up to a half mile away but still within the closed National Park The resulting ash cloud could be 20,000 feet high and blown across the island Ashfall is a nuisance but it doesn't threaten life. Despite the science behind the eruption, most people who live here believe there's more to it according to Hawaiian mythology Pele, the goddess of fire inhabits Kilauea and controls the lava People leave offerings to please her all over the island and they accept her will Harry Kim is the mayor of Hawaii County I feel like people are very accepting When you're close to nature then you have to be around here

2:35:02 except lava eruptions as part of that. There's a price for paradise? It is the price, it really is the price. Earthquakes and lava are way of life here. Kilauea has been in constant state of eruption since 1983 and in that time the entire community of Kalapana was wiped out so people here know this volcano power and they have a healthy dose of respect for it. Rena? Carter thank you Wow, that's a rare clip. It'll stop global warming and international air travel all in one fell swoop! I was thinking the same thing...I'm kind of reluctant to go anywhere because i don't think we will get back. Remember when people were stuck? Oh yeah Iceland. Yeah that was pretty harsh. Well the Armageddon also taking place on the mainland besides just the volcanoes and ash in Hawaii

2:35:56 Here's something I did not know and I think it's a big story because of the pollution and the contamination Our United States recycling industry is currently broken as prices for scrap paper and plastic have completely collapsed Yeah, it doesn't surprise me. Supply and demand! We were sending it to China and the Chinese don't want it anymore they say look 20% of the material we ship has you know crap in it discarded food you know people don't separate and then of course you get that in there I guess is very expensive to separate that after-the-fact but the whole system is broken down They can't make money. They cannot make any money on recycling anymore so of course its going to stop

2:36:45 Well, something's gonna give. Yeah did you know about this? Did you know it wasn't working? No I did not know about it and I've been... You know every once in a while one of the kids says hey are putting the bottle in there or is that garbage? I said yeah put a bottle in there once in awhile so what In Berkeley, they do. They have the police to have the garbage police. It's almost like that in England where they check your recyclables all way you got her. You don't have this right up because you didn't put a bottle in the right box. Yeah yeah well it's always seemed that the whole thing was a scam from beginning at least with bottles

2:37:24 I mean, you pay a nickel now in California when you buy soda just for the bottle for the recycling fee. That's a scam! What is the point? It actually...I've seen this work very well in Europe where you pay that extra fee. It used to be a... But that was where it came from obviously. Yeah yeah oh yeah of course socialism and it started off with what I recall in the 70s when I was growing up in The Netherlands They would actually, you buy a bottle of something and they would tack on the extra five cents when you... You know they would say oh then that's plus five cents for what they call it Statsgeld which is your refund money. So anyone who brings that bottle back turns it in gets five cents well guess Who is cleaning up the streets and getting paid for it by bringing these bottles and cans in for money? Homeless people!

2:38:17 It's a very interesting program. Yeah, it keeps the homeless people busy and it could help our recycling I mean I have to say I'm not the best recycler. I don't think we have recycled separation here in liberal Oh, that's a scandal of true. We have three different cans that we use yeah well were an apartment building so we have a chute oh just throw everything down the chute hell with it yeah That's pretty much what I do Well I got one more clip I can play or two stabbing. Yeah, and we have the I think we got to get this one out of the way though this is actually a clip that's getting old This is the rape and murder in India which is not covered by the national news at all And even the BBC doesn't cover it much Horrific allegations of rape and murder involving a teenage girl have once again turned the spotlight on sexual violence in India

2:39:13 This latest case comes from a northeastern section of the country, in a village deep in the countryside and the rural state of Jharkhand. It's one of the poorest parts of India and it is where on Thursday a 16 year old girl was alleged to have been kidnapped then brutally raped What happened next has added pressure on authorities to act On Friday, the girl's family approached the village council. Local elders with influence in the village demanding justice Now these councils don't have any legal authority but in these distant parts of the country they can sometimes wield enormous influence But there was no justice The council imposed a fine of $750 and the accused were ordered to do 100 sit-ups That's right money and sit ups that's all

2:39:53 And then things got even worse. In a chilling act of retribution, the accused men are said to have set the family's home on fire It is in this attack later on Friday that the 16 year old is alleged to have been killed She was burned to death The case now with local police More than a dozen men have been arrested including the head of village council But sadly this isn't the first horrific case to come to light in recent weeks. In April, a rape and murder case involving an 8 year old and another rape case involving a different 16 year old triggered nationwide protests India's rape laws remember were tightened back in 2013 after the gangrape and murder of young medical student in Delhi generated international headlines

2:40:32 But activists say enforcement has again and again lagged behind new laws. There's also India's entrenched patriarchy which they cite as the major cause, they want better education to end what many say is a cultural problem where women are routinely marginalized often with violent consequences These latest cases underline in the most tragical ways just how much more needs to be done Nikhil Kumar CNN New Delhi Wow! What a mess Yep, nobody's covering it. CNN has that one guy doing it and It's pathetic the India is a mess And then if kills me the guys go to the city the councils because this old-fashioned and the council guys were part of the gang of rapists Yeah, and we cut We kind of glossed over the Paris stabbing which I am kicking myself for because everyone's kind of glossing over it

2:41:26 No guns available in France, in Paris. So they go to knives... England, knives! It's the culture has become toxic and violent and I'm going to say it because of SSRIs mainly. I'm not quite sure what this dude deal was But there's problems and people are, you know if not maintained properly. If you don't maintain your human resources with whatever they need or if you're putting the wrong shit into them they can become very violent and they will kill with whatever means they need And I just... what are they going to do? The UK has already banned knives Yeah, you gotta ban knives now

2:42:09 He's not the solution. I have an idea though, and this is my last clip This is from an actual TED talk from Susan Pinker a psychologist She's also written a number of books She's the social science columnist for The Wall Street Journal I think her most famous book was from 2008 The Sexual Paradox. I don't think I've read it I remember hearing about it And she does a lot about the differences between men and women, I think that was actually it's the sexual paradox. Men-women in the real gender gap focused on how sex differences play out in the workplace and she had a very interesting TED talk and we're picking it up in this TED talk where there was a study done on a large amount of people. I forget what the P number was or the N number, a large amount of people

2:43:01 over a seven-year period to see what behavior that people took place in helped them live the longest. So they waited for a number of people to die and then they went back, okay? The people who were still alive... What were you doing and they it was I guess a serious study. The answer will not surprise you if you're no agenda listener and if you are considering OTG-ness yourself. So let's now look at her data in summary, going from the least powerful predictor to the strongest okay? So clean air which is great it doesn't predict how long you will live whether you have your hypertension treated is good still not a strong predictor whether your lean or overweight you can stop feeling guilty about this because its only in third place

2:43:53 How much exercise you get is next, still only a moderate predictor. Whether you've had a cardiac event and you're in rehab and exercising getting higher now whether you've had a flu vaccine did anybody here know that having the flu vaccine protects you more than doing exercise? I found that to be very interesting i'm not sure how that stat works out but uh interesting nonetheless flu kills for sure Whether you were drinking and quit or whether you're a moderate drinker, whether you don't smoke. Or if you did, whether you quit and getting towards the top predictors are two features of your social life first your close relationships These are the people that you can call on for alone if you need money suddenly That's not you I guess John

2:44:51 I was thinking who could i call for a loan and your name did not come to mind Who will call the doctor if you're not feeling well or who will take you to the hospital? Or we will sit with you. If You're having an existential crisis, if you're in despair Those people, that little clutch of people are a strong predictor if you have them of how long you'll live. And then something that surprised me something that's called social integration this means how much You interact with people as you move through your day Now this is the number one predictor of longevity Long life is your social interactions and she's going to explain that and difference between what some might think or social interactions

2:45:36 How many people do you talk to? And these mean both your weak and your strong bonds. So not just the people you're really close to who mean a lot to you, but like... Do you talk to the guy who every day makes you your coffee? Umm..Do you talk to the postman? Do you talk to the woman who walks by her house everyday with her dog? Do you play bridge or poker have a book club those interactions are one of the strongest predictors of how long you live now this leads me to the next question If we now spend more time online than on any other activity, including sleeping. We're now up to 11 hours a day one hour more than last year by the way does it make a difference? Why distinguish between interacting in person and interacting via social media is it the same thing as being there if you're in contact constantly with your kids through text for example

2:46:34 Well, the short answer to the question is no. It's not the same thing Face-to-face contact releases a whole cascade of neurotransmitters and like a vaccine they protect you now in the present and well into the future So simply making eye contact with somebody shaking hands giving somebody a high five is enough to release oxytocin which increases your level of trust And it lowers your cortisol levels so it lowers your stress and dopamine is generated which gives us a little high, and it kills pain. It's like a naturally produced morphine Now all of this passes under our conscious radar which is why we conflate online activity with the real thing but we do have evidence now fresh evidence that there is a difference There you go And I happen to have by coincidence a follow-on clip Which will be my last Okay The social media addiction issue

2:47:35 How long can you go without checking your Twitter feed or your Facebook page, or your Instagram account? Well for many it's beyond a habit. It's an obsession. Maria Villarreal takes us to a place where young people are getting unplugged from their social media addiction I was strung with severe depression and anxiety 17-year old David Mayer from Ohio says he felt constant pressure from his parents to be perfect Overwhelmed, he started using drugs. He also got lost online for up to four hours a day. I would create this false character of who i was what i thought was the perfect version of myself what i wanted to be which is this young funny attractive guy

2:48:16 David became withdrawn and stopped talking to his parents until they took matters into their own hands. They forced David into the Paradigm Malibu Rehab facility for 30 days to treat his social media addiction, no cell phones or internet surfing allowed 50% of teens say they feel addicted to their mobile devices and studies show teens who spend more time on social media are more likely to report mental health issues than those who spend less time on the sites. 17-year old Arizona native Kaitlyn Walker is also seeking treatment at Paradigm. Kaitlyn says things began spiraling out of control when her parents' marriage hit a rough patch, she turned to social media for comfort but instead became the target of online bullying. Like I literally had pictures in my camera of people like bullying me and kept it why? I don't know it was just kind of like

2:49:07 confirmation that I wasn't good enough. Paradigm says its program, which includes therapy and reconnecting with the outdoors has an 80% success rate. It can cost upwards of $50,000 but some insurance companies do help cover the expense after 30 days Kaitlyn isn't ready to delete her profiles but she's now learned you have the power to block someone or delete them or not look at it David now fills his time playing basketball and reading. His program might be over, but his journey is just beginning I plan on deleting my Twitter, deleting my Snapchat...I know now that i'm not going to create this false character Mireya Villarreal CBS News Malibu California

Symbian OS Open Source, No Agenda Outro

The hosts conclude the show by discussing the possibility of creating an "Off The Grid" (OTG) phone using the open-sourced Symbian operating system and a Nokia E71 clone. They emphasize the show's mission of providing "life-saving tips" for the digital era. The episode ends with a series of sound bites and the standard sign-off.

symbian os· nokia e71· off the grid· adam curry· john c. dvorak· podcasting

2:49:54 The best thing I ever did was getting off the grid. Now, I was reading through the...I'll just call it chat room for a moment even though we like to call it the troll room and they don't-they're not getting the message John They think that they all are you know, uh, they can limit their social media They don't care. They're missing the point! This is no but what's the difference between that and a heroin addict or Or an alcoholic? Hey, you know, I can drink Yeah, I just cut it down a little bit. I'm good. I can stop drinking if I want to. I've literally heard you say that! Well...I can't. I know you can! You did it! But also have enough knowledge about myself that's when somebody said well you were drunk on the day No, here's the reason if you do a lot of broadcast work of any sort podcasting is similar Is that if you could probably drink

2:50:47 a little bit and do a show and not be caught slurring or anything. But this is like watching the old Johnny Carson shows, I mean Carson would go out to lunch and then the one or two times where you didn't drink just a little because if the lunch got out of control and y'all instead of drinking iced tea are drinking wine and you're going on the show wasted! And that would happen every so often on Carson and Ed McMahon would give him nothing but grief which made Carson mad on stage You'd call your friends and hey, you got to check this out. So there's elements of control that you have to deal with. But my overall point is immediately it was like everyone at TED Talk is a bullshit artist. Read Lost Connections!

2:51:30 And and by the way after this show after we're done I am planning the meetup because we need in person You know, we need in-person contact and my grandfather He was one of these people who is all and yeah when I was young it would embarrass us like grandpa Yeah, he would like hey how you talk to everybody every just talking everybody the fucker lived to 98. Oh I mean, you know... And that's probably the reason why. I would say there is a high likelihood of it! Yeah? I trust science usually when it's convenient for me, I trust it and so this is when I talk about using my Nokia oh by the way after last at the last show on Thursday we talked about maybe crowdfunding and putting together an OTG phone to sell

2:52:24 And I did a little bit of research, I think i sent you some of this. The Symbian operating system was open sourced were you aware of this? Yeah I did get that Okay so we could clone the Nokia E71 have some China do it We wouldn't have to do much throw the whole Symbian crap in there and then sell it as a life-saving device Yeah, well that would be the part of the pitch. No that is the pitch! It's a life-saving device and the Millennials around me they went oh That's cool kind of phone is that so there's some some you can get some hypnosis factor going with it as well yeah But you've got to stop You really got to stop I think no what you gotta stop with the social media shit

2:53:12 Well, I'm a big advocate of that. Right now I don't even know where my phone is In fact, I think Twitter is actually the only thing that should stay in place and the way it is Yeah...I would say it should all go but you can get rid of some of them Well Twitter is news to me. You know? Twitter's not social media. Twitter is news No agenda social It's not social It's the news yeah people post back and forth fine. Whatever we could do that anywhere its news I like subscribing to feeds of stuff you know People who publish stuff, and then I can respond to it. I could publish my own stuff That's all it is but this whole idea being social And now it's harmful to your health, and I certainly don't recommend it Nor do I? That's right

2:54:03 And with that, we say goodbye for this particular program but we will return on Thursday with more media deconstruction and other life-saving tips. It's up to you. Life saving tips is what it is. What? It's what it is! Life saving tips. That's our whole show. That's right How To Survive In The Digital Era Of the New World Order Coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas here in the capital of the drone star state It is FEMA region 6 if you're looking for it on any of the governmental maps in the 5 by 9 Cluedio and the common law condo Happy Mother's Day In the morning everybody. I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where I say physician heal thyselves Usually who say I'm John C Dvorak

2:55:01 I'm John C. Dvorak, and I'm outta here. Yeah... And then I say adios mofos! I need a cab. Cab's on its way. Oh boy... Blame it on the glitch. And I did this work in, you know 10 minutes It wasn't that hard to find. Blame it on the glitch Yeah well reporters don't care This kind of data... Okay here's a song idea for something Well no no no Well I was gonna keep going with internal consequences Well just I'm not gonna interrupt You're just gonna tell me the song idea Find this song, its Michael Jackson blame it on the boogie To blame it on the glitch David Decker can't dig that in there I think it could be done He could be blaming on the buggy

2:56:06 Now this sounds too similar. I can hear sir Chris popping another beer as we speak. Don't blame it on the bash card, don't blame it on the boot load. More thermal overload, blame it on the glitch. The guy's becoming alcoholic since he's been doing stuff for the show. Like, hey man I'm drunk don't worry about me! The boob uh Easter egg was the Stormy Daniels picture that was in the... It was pretty obvious and i think that we only got a couple of boob donations? I think people like just didn't want to click on her she's so icky. I wanna click her. She is you know it gets a word that you'd use if you're like an eighth grade but- But its appropriate. It is too

2:57:01 Aw, Wiki you're so fine You're so fine you blow my mind Hey, Wiki! She's Icky. Hey, Wiki! That-that's the term. Aw, Wiki you're so fine You're so fine you blow my mind Hey, Wiki!

2:58:07 What's wrong with you people? What's wrong with you? Manning, you don't have the stature to tell us what to do. You know, you're just a little preacher over there. What is wrong with you people? What is wrong with you? Racism, we love that phenomenon and you'll be president forever. The corporate and not Mitt Romney. I guess Obama? What's wrong with you people?

2:58:53 Manning, you don't have the stature to tell us what to do. You know, you're just a little preacher over there at church over there in Harlem and we like it when you think your amusing when you talk about black people We like what you say but when you start talking about white people you automatically wrong So I mean well I'd love to hear you talk about black people I'd love to hear you say that they aint got no honor and all of that, all of that. How they are racist and we love that! They're racist and we love that but now when you talk about... You only give me credit when I talk about black folk But then I'm right And your right for giving me credit God knows when i speak about it im right But Im Right When I Talk About White Folk In The World!
