False meme-ification

00:00 Many producers just sit home, scratch their crotch and say great show. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. It's Thursday April 25 2019 this is your award winning get my nation media assassination episode 1132 This is no agenda We are the Netflix of news and broadcasting live from the frontier of Austin, Texas capital to drone star state in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and for Northern Silicon Valley where we're post-Zephyr. I'm John C DeVore. It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! In The Morning! Where what? What did you say? Post... Zephyr Oh now you were really soft there for a moment

00:41 You were like, I'm John C. DeVore and I post Zephyr. Sorry we're a little late for those of you listening on the live stream Yes! We now have Joe Biden in the race Yeah it's about time Who i call Spike Biden Spike? Do you spike the ball? Spike Biden because he is telling a lee lie Spike... okay I don't quite get the joke Well, of course you don't because I am going to unpack that for you Joe Biden announced this morning that he's running for the 2020 presidential election. And here is what he is running on. Charlottesville, Virginia is home to the author of one of the great documents in human history We know it by heart we hold these truths to be self evident That all men are created equal Endowed with their creator with certain unalienable rights We've heard so often its almost a cliche but its who we are

01:43 We haven't always lived up to these ideals. Jefferson himself didn't, but we have never before walked away from them. Charlottesville is also home to a defining moment for this nation in the last few years. It was there on August of 2017 that we saw Klansmen and white supremacists and neo-Nazis come out in the open Their crazed faces, illuminated by torches, veins bulging and bearing the fangs of racism chanting the same anti-Semitic bile heard across Europe in the 30s. And they were met by a courageous group of Americans and a violent clash ensued...and a brave young woman lost her life

02:34 And that's when we heard the words of the President of United States, that stunned the world and shocked the conscience of this nation. He said there were quote some very fine people on both sides. Very fine people on both sides? Those words, The President of United States assigned a moral equivalence between those spreading hate and those with the courage to stand against it in at moment I knew the threat to this nation was unlike any I had ever seen in my lifetime. Okay, so this goes on for another two minutes Joe is running on the lie that the president insinuated That some neo-nazis are very fine people and the reason I call him spike Biden is because I finally got to finish The Black Klansman movie and I told you

03:27 That I hadn't finished yet, didn't know it was 18 hours long. But there's all this Trump stuff, you know all these little quotes like rapists and murderers and things that are coming directly from him that he slipped into the dialogue And at the end of the movie-I know you haven't seen it but I have a feeling not many people have seen the whole movie No one... So if it's 18 hours long, there is a good reason. I'll tell you because I mentioned this on the last episode no one emailed me or tweeted me and said oh wait until you get to the end of the movie! And so this was so incredibly dishonest So the movie kind of ends and then there's this long tunnel-like shot, you know one of those where the background moves really fast and the two people in the foreground are standing there. And then it goes into this montage

04:16 You had a group on one side that was bad and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent. Not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists. And you also had people that were Very fine people. Because I believe that today in Charlottesville, this is a first step... That's David Duke by the way so it goes from very fine people, very fine people were there and it goes straight to David Duke So what is wrong with this? Wow. Well, wait for it... What is really wrong with this? A couple things one so they date these scenes and you see the uh the torch the torches and the Jews will not replace us yeah and then it goes into Antifa clashing with you know the white supremacist and it's not a black but so the whole movie is about black and there's a side story of a Jew cop

05:22 I'm just saying it that way because that's how i said in the movie. So there's kind of a side story and then it goes but, It's really all about this you know 65 66 67 the equal rights you know how blacks were discriminated against at the whole movie is that of course about the Klan but it's all white people you see and then they then but they title it Charlottesville April August 11th 2017 And then they show Trump at Trump Tower, it's also titled with a lower third August 12th 2017. That's alive first of all because his initial reaction that Trump gave his initial statement which was not the press conference at Trump Tower was on August 12th but this was August 15th when he gave this speech so you just heard the well in fact I'm gonna just

06:17 Roll that back just a tiny bit so you can just hear again because he took a piece then put in some more footage and then went into the quote and then chopped it off. So, again here we go... I believe this is day in Charlottesville This is a first. Sorry, that was David Duke already here we go. So very violent Nazis go home! Not all of those people were neo-Nazis believe me not all of those people were white supremacists you also had people that were very fine people because I believe it today and then he goes straight into David Duke Here's the original but you also had people that were very fine people on both sides

07:00 You had people in that group, excuse me. Excuse me I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group That were there to protest the taking down of-to them a very very important statue and then renaming of a park from Robert E Lee So all that was taken out? Lee to another name so you know what it's fine your changing history your changing culture and you had people And I'm not talking about the neo Nazis and the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly Now in the other group also You had some fine people but you also had troublemakers and you see them come with a with the black outfits and with their helmets and with the baseball bats

07:52 You got a lot of bad people in the other group too. So I think it's a little bit out of context? Well, this has been thematic and of course it is thematic with our show's principles which are that once they create a meme thats false... It's there forever! False memification is what they do and then they stick with it no matter how many times you bring out the real quotes which include this screed against the fascists or the Nazis. But for Joe Biden to be running on that out of the gate is... Joe Biden's obviously an idiot Well, A he must believe this and B the people who are advising him must believe this I think they do believe it in that no one has ever bothered actually look into it They're just going with their gut but that's what the public thinks anyway so what?

08:47 Well, and this is not about Donald Trump. I've been through this. You've had this happen to you when you get certain things that just become truth forever and ever? I always like to point it out! Like when people say, oh Dvorak said the mouse was stupid, now we're worth it. To no... He said there's no evidence. At the time, there was no evidence! No this is 1984... Right so I want to defend that defended for you and defended for anybody but have Joe Biden running on that out of the gate i'm sure that's not his only point but man well he

09:27 Well, besides that and all the baggage he's actually on my list of contenders. Listen, she post on a cosmic weenie I bumped him down because of them and I think he's gonna keep getting bumped down Oh really? Because Bernie's at the top All right. All the polls say Biden is even ahead of Trump now Lies And what about Mayor Pete He's moving up. Well, Mayor Pete had a very... Your whole theory by the way about that is right on the money and you can see him moving up there was this big story today and they said with all these fine women Kamala Harris and Warren and I don't know if they mentioned Clinton but they had mentioned somebody else Klobuchar it was all of these fine women running how come mayor Pete is shooting past them in the polls?

10:22 Well could it be this? This is about sanctuary cities from the CNN town hall. I would be delighted to have more people. We have a population growth strategy in our city Our city was built for 130,000 people but we only have 100,000 because so many people left after the auto factories collapsed A hundred thousand? What kind of... this is not a city This is a hamlet. Hamlet!

11:12 that in many respects from property taxes to sales taxes undocumented immigrants are taxpayers and the truth is, in many respects because they're not eligible for a lot of benefits they are subsidizing the rest of us which just one more reason we gotta get this sorted out. Thank you illegal aliens thank you thank you for subsidizing my life it's so appreciated Oh brother Guys hi! You know thi-this guy yeah hundred thousand I mean when I think of cities I think like uh Mexico City, you know 14 million. Yeah I mean Austin's barely a city yeah was Austin's population now a million we got a million yes a million yeah that's at least at least and they're all in traffic other than your right Hamlet he runs the small town you know hundred thousand is big for a lot of but he has a positive what he calls a positive growth strategy which would be I don't know encourage people to have children

12:10 No. That would be making a family-friendly city, that would do it? Now there's an idea! Family friendly city... You want to get your population up and bring in families There is an idea We're trying to be family unfriendly in Austin Oh yeah dog friendly My goodness stop with the dogs So you were tracking Hillary who did not Did she do an op ed She's done, she's starting to her head is popping up every which way. She's making commentary everywhere I didn't see an op-ed but i'm sure she has done a few. Yeah I think she wrote an Op Ed and was on stage at some Time Magazine event Oh! I have a clip? The 100 most influential people event. Is she in that? She must be

12:55 I don't know. She must be. I didn't look at the list, it's behind a firewall Here is what she had to say about... well of all things my goodness! The Mueller report Before leaving Mueller you're lawyer You're a lawyer disbarred but yeah you are a lawyer Did Donald Trump obstruct justice as you read the incidences as Mueller lays them out? Well, I think there's enough there that any other person who had engaged in those acts would certainly have been indicted. But because of the rule in the Justice Department that you can't indict a sitting president, the whole matter of obstruction was

13:45 very directly sent to the Congress. I mean, if you read that part of the report it could not be clearer. As I read it basically what I thought it was saying is look we think he obstructed justice here are 11 examples of why we think he obstructed justice but were under the control of the Justice Department and their rule is you can't indict. But we do have checks and balances in America, and there is this thing called the Congress. I mean, it could not be more explicit than please look at this – you may look at it and conclude that doesn't rise to impeachable offense? That's your job but I'm giving this to you

14:28 Wow, so she takes put a bunch of stuff in it. That's not in there well quite the opposite is in fact true as The I think was the Attorney General Was it Mueller was asked specifically now the attorney general? It was asked specifically if There was no indictment on obstruction of justice because you can't indict a sitting president To which he answered no several times this came up on With crystal ball, which I think is a great radio name But she's on what does she aren't you? I think she's on we bitched about her before She used to be on MSN regular with your buddy tour a yes Well now she's on Hill TV and she had Joe de Genoa On as a guest and it in hilarity ensued. We shall say but it starts off with exactly this point

15:22 Barr said he asked Mueller three separate times, did you base your decision on the fact that a sitting president cannot be indicted? And Mueller said I did not. It literally says here are the considerations of our section of justice and is Mueller a liar? Well, I'm asking if If Barr is a liar, it's really the questionnaire because it says very clearly here that one of the considerations was that I had been in residence with him. Mueller then should have said, I would've brought charges but there's evidence but I can't bring charges. That's exactly what he should have done so let me just say something right now about what she just said

15:58 Don't you dare suggest that Bill Barr is a liar. I've known him for 30 years, he's one of the finest lawyers this country has ever produced He came back out of retirement to serve this country There isn't one shred of evidence that anything he said either the other day or now or today was a lie don't ever say that in front me about Bill Barr You have no evidence that he lied and you know it But I'm telling you... You said he may have lied What I'm telling you is that what he said today in the press conference is inconsistent with what's in our report. That's not a lie! Okay, fine... It's not fine! You're on national television calling the Attorney General a liar! I didn't say that- You suggested it very strongly Alright, I think we're done here. I think we are. Good. That's the best kind of television though

16:51 I love it when people get really upset. It's the stuff that people love to see, you know? Cat fight! That's what you want man. But yeah... Now- The host for one thing the host can't handle that especially her. She's sensitive Before we get into a very- And she was just playing her old MSNBC game there and this guy was just like putting up with it Well he's playing his Fox game isn't he on Fox all the time? DeGenoa Yeah I think so I think he is a fox guy Now before I move into any collusion, I got a text just before the show and this is something for your Cosmic Weenie rundown. This is from one of the Millennials and she says, Just so you know front runner for my age group in education level is Elizabeth Warren And to which I...and of course I was dealing with the mic issues So I texted back Well of course! No more debt

17:51 And she got a little offended because it's just the text. She said, no no I'm agreeing with you. Yes this is exactly what we're all saying. We have tens of thousands worth of debt and will vote for someone to remove that. The question is can she motivate them to vote? If once they realize that she's full of crap, she is a do-nothing senator. She has never done anything. She talks a big game and if you're gonna be suckered by somebody just talking a big game... Oh! They talked to big game I'm gonna vote for her then it's the problem you've got but it's not she's not viable as a candidate with that platform does get attention though gets lots of it I could understand it like yes please

18:41 Get rid of my debt. Absolutely, there's no future or the future seems somewhat to get rid of Rachel the robocaller Even though she tried Rachel the robo caller so you tweeted something very important the other day I did yes You did I need more followers it was a it was a deconstruction of? The written transcript or maybe it was the record of the FISA renewal hearing which took place in, what is that? 2017 I think. I don't remember end of 2017 and it was with Admiral Rogers who runs the NSA Oh yes, the Rogers stuff And I'm going to try and paraphrase it but what comes out of this report Is The real reason for the Russia

19:43 collusion meme. And I'm just going to, you help me out here because it did pull two clips just to accentuate it but in general around 2016 Rogers discovered that there were consultants inside the NSA database and they were either directly doing so-called about queries which means you can just take a phone number or an IP address and say hey click box 17 tell me who this is Then it will spit that back and then that was being exported outside of the NSA to again, you know And contractors is not all that uncommon. Ed Snowden was a contractor as an example And so they came to light that this was taking place and it turns out it was happening Yes, I'll give you a little more backup Rogers noticed

20:34 Just through it on his dailies. Well, he's that the numbers of these queries had skyrocketed Let's play that clip and then this is exactly what he's saying. This is Senator Lankford who of course understand this? This is all showboating So he knows exactly what he's asking and Rogers knows exactly what he's answering Admiral Rogers this spring NSA decided to stop doing about queries That was a long conversation that's happened there. It has now come out in the public about that conversation, that it was identified as a problem and the court agreed with that and that has been stopped What I need to ask you is who first identified that as a problem?

21:14 The National Security Agency did. Okay, so how did you report that? Reported that to who? How did that conversation go once you identified we're uncomfortable with this type? So in 2016 I had directed our Office of Compliance let's do a fundamental baseline review of compliance associated with 702. We completed that effort my memory is I was briefed on something like October the 20th. That led me to believe the technical solution that we put in place is not working with the reliability that's necessary here, right? Then from memory and head through went to the Department of Justice and then onto the FISA court at the end of October—I think it was something like the 26th of October—and we informed the court

21:55 We have a compliance issue here and we're concerned that there's an underlying issue with the technical solution we've put in place. We told the court, we're going to need some period of time to work our way through that. The court granted us that time in return The court also said we will allow you to continue 702 under the 16 authorizations, but we will not reauthorize 17 until you show us that you have addressed this. So what he was seeing was and there's a follow-up clip to this What he was seeing was a high number of errors occurring based upon people doing an about query And he felt that the about query is really close to unmasking

22:34 And this database, according to Section 702 is not allowed to be used to spy on American citizens in the U.S., American citizens abroad Foreign nationals in the US, also not allowed to spy on them. They can only be incidental unmasking if you're tracking someone in another country not a US national who happens to be talking about or to an American but that could be inside the United States and that would be accidental And here's what happened When you say greater reliability tell me what do mean by that

23:10 Because it was generating errors. Our office of in compliance highlighted the specific number of cases in 2016 and I thought to myself clearly, It's not working as we think it is We were doing queries unknowingly to the operator in a handful of situations against US persons and I just said hey that is not in accordance with the intent of the law. Yeah clearly it's not only the intent, its actual statute itself that we protect U.S. persons from services foreign directed so what I'm hearing from you as the accountability system worked yes sir

23:50 The issue rose up, we're collecting. We do have information on US persons We don't want to get that information Immediately the process started going through to be able to stop it The court then put the final stop on it It was corrected and then thats now cleared Yes sir and in fact were purging the data as well Not only stopped doing it but were purging the data That we had collected under the previous authorization So what did not come out of this hearing But was in this written transcript Links in the show notes was a fantastic breakdown by what was that? The conservative treehouse. Was that a Breitbart operation who is that I have no idea something like that Is that so that ability stopped at the end of 2016 because something with it was being abused and they shut it down but what we find out is this had been going on since 2012 and yeah, and the only explanation for that is that

24:46 The Obama administration, most likely with State Department were spying on all kinds of Americans since 2012. All of a sudden it stopped that's when Hillary writes an email we're all going to hang together because you know spying on Americans will send you to jail for a long time And the insurance policy that Page and Strzok spoke about was not to stop Donald Trump from becoming president. It was to insert the Steele dossier into the spying they had already done as justification so that the spying would not come above board

25:27 Then all of a sudden she didn't because she didn't become president they trigger the so-called insurance policy and then they're able to bring in Bob Mueller who knows this extremely well. He's been a part of how this system works, in fact he also oversaw the PRISM system which started as PROMIS. Do you remember the PROMIS system? Yes I do remember it vaguely It was a Silicon Valley company called Inslaw and they developed this database that they licensed to the NSA and FBI, and Bob Mueller was overseeing it. And people were throwing everything in here then they loved it! It became this massive collection of VIN numbers on cars and house titles and credit cards...and everyone's just jamming it in there. It was really the precursor to PRISM, and PRISM we heard about from Snowden of course, and now this is all tied into these new

26:25 surveillance databases and Mueller, I don't want to say he was directly responsible but they all of a sudden said to this little Silicon Valley company Inslaw nah we're not interested anymore. We're not gonna use you anymore But then they just kept using it and they kept giving copies of the database and the actual program to other countries because they would call Inslaw and say, hey we need some tech support but they never bought the program. Put this company out of business It's a great story. People died in the process, too! Oh I don't know about that... That's why i was hoping you would remember this You could do Google search and see the number of people who died Somebody looking into it... Wow! I didn't know that A bunch of people died Yeah The government was killing them So for me, oh my god This whole thing is a complete sideshow

27:17 With buy-in from the media and all political parties, and it's what a fantastic cover up. And so Mueller was in there just making sure that all of that goes away and you heard Admiral Rogers say, oh no we're purging all that data too. I'm sorry to hear that Sorry you hearing you covering up the tracks of who might have exported that or hopefully he didn't but and wasn't it Rogers? Who went to Trump and said hey man they're spying on you Yes That was Rogers there you go so that's what went down this was to to save their own hides from 20 30 years in jail if it ever comes out

28:00 And of course it was Susan Rice's name who was used and who is the whack job, who was the ambassador to the UN. She is with Cass Sunstein. Oh yeah her. The redhead? Sunstein's wife Samantha Power, thank you. I have a Bob Woodward clip on this. Yes! I had the same one but this is good clip yeah This clip does bring in another element which is that we always have to readjust our thinking about Bob Woodward came out of military intelligence and probably still gets a paycheck from somebody because all these books he does just no one person can do those

28:45 So he's somebody is writing them. I mean, he's writing them probably. Didn't he also didn't write on his blog still available that CIA is all over the media integrated? Wasn't that his? No, that's the actual spy. Okay. No no neither well neither one of them but I think no Woodward's the I believe to be the actual spy based on the stories told in Family of Secrets by Baker. Now he brings up all this information that makes it obvious, but I always have to reset myself because he...I don't think he was ever in the CIA. I think it's always been part of defense intelligence. Oh could be. Could be. Because that's because he came out a Navy intelligence so it would make sense or you could still be a Navy intelligence which is one of the oldest intelligent services in the country goes back to the 1700s

29:34 Anyway, but listen to what he has to say and he kind of slams the CIA in this more than two years ago back in January Of 2017 when the Steele dossier first surfaced I remember you're saying right here on their show that it is a quote garbage document Do you feel that the Mueller report? basically discredited it and to what degree do you think it played a role in the Russia investigation? Well that's what is going to be investigated by lots of people including the Attorney General, including Senator Lindsey Graham. And the Inspector General is also doing it Yes! It should be... I mean what I found out recently which was really quite surprising The dossier which really has got

30:22 lot of garbage in it and Mueller found that to be the case. Early in building the intelligence community assessment on Russian interference, in an early draft they actually put the dossier on page two in kind of a breakout box I think it was the CIA pushing this Real intelligence experts looked at this and said, no. This is not intelligence! This is garbage! And they took it out. But in this process the idea that they would include something like that in one of the great stellar

31:02 intelligence assessments as Mueller also found out is highly questionable needs to be investigated. Now how would he even know that in a draft it was on page two unless he was really in the know? He's really in the know so, I think we agreed and the thesis of this show is this Mueller investigation was a clean-up, a mop up of this spying for four years on perhaps political opponents. There was also insinuation that the IRS scandal, that original IRS database which was delivered on compact discs to the office of Eric Holder, that that was the original political spying so if this indeed is what it looks like a cleanup operation I don't think Mueller can

31:59 was able to make it clean that no one gets busted. I think there needs to be a fall guy or a couple well, i'm thinking struck and page you know struck in page your targets but they're little too convenient It seems to me wow but you could just yeah You could probably put a case around struck and page and make it look like they're just a couple of rogue FBI folk. Well, they're the ones talking about the insurance policy in text messages so that's kind of smoking gun Yeah Once we understand what that means No, he never fully explained it no but maybe that's what Mueller put in place We'll find out this is rolling out kind of nice and smoothly But it's just mind-boggling to me because we already thought this but then when I read that whole FISA transcript like oh man

32:54 Everything has been a sideshow. The whole kit and caboodle! And now I can't watch any of these discussions It's just dumb, it's completely dumb There is nothing to do with what happened And other people must have figured this out it can't be just us here in our little no agenda hole Oh I'm sure that a lot of people...I mean when you see even Woodward when he was talking on that Chris Wallace show I think he's covering his own ass For shit he said. At the same time, he probably knows a lot more than he's ever going to talk about on TV Yeah Alright then we've solved that We've solved the collusion You know here is a good one So lighten things up So Zuckerberg has a podcast now Yeah which I was excited at first and then it turns out its just gonna be some... He probably didn't want to listen to the whole thing No of course not

33:53 And so I did cut a few things out, but for the most part I think I've got the essence of his podcast skills. Hold on stop! Whenever you say you cut a few things out...I'm thinking there's a John C. Dvorak montage of epic proportion coming down the pipe Well, let's find out. Hey everyone! Today I've traveled to Berlin that publishes and you really dedicated your career to of the um... And if-I don't know if you want to start off there we have a lot of stuff to cover in the um... To um...

34:42 Let me guess, you have quite a beard growth this morning. Seeing as you use all your razor blades... No! Good one That's pretty much the podcast There is a lot of podcast news today And before you go into the podcast news, I want to say did you listen to DHM plug? Horowitz apparently found some research that indicates there are 500 000 podcasts. Oh i'm sure! I'm sure it's just like... Sure! It's sure! It's just like blogs now the best.. There's two things happening

35:28 And the best is this Netflix of podcasting, which I've now heard Spotify is going to be the next flex apart. Amazon audible was going to be the netflix of podcasting and now we have this new app luminary then netflix of podcasting where you become a they have exclusive podcasts that you can't get anywhere except inside their app Yeah, great. But you're not no one's gonna listen to those podcasts. Well yeah I mean the thing is didn't we go through all of this once before haven't we been around this horn so first about being the Netflix have anything this is it's like being the Uber have anything

36:12 Yeah, someone said correctly. Well Reed Hastings is worth the 3.7 billion dollars yeah They burn 10 million dollars a month at Netflix They're not in a in a money-making operation nor is uber they are not money making companies really losing this but yeah So it lose netflix had to pay a hundred million dollars just to keep friends on their on their system And when you are the conduit between the content and the consumer, it is a horrible business to be in. Trust me I know it's true because the minute you have success with something the price goes up

36:55 That's just how it works. So Friends, Friends hasn't been on for what 20 years now? When did Friends go off the $100 million in licensing fee? Yeah so here's the problem another mistake that is an obvious one and we've seen it happen before with this Luminary um so of course they want to make free podcasts like The No Agenda Show available uh two people in their super secret app And so, you know they're paying certain... I think there's some famous people doing podcasts. That doesn't matter good on them So then you know then someone's making some good money doing a show for this luminary outfit But and this happened we've seen this before and I can't believe that they fell forward it didn't do their research apparently in that app they are sucking in the individual shows

37:48 So this episode, which would be na-1132-209-04-25-final.mp3 They store that on their own server so that they can count downloads against it to ultimately sell ads around our show or any other free show Sure Well that's a copyright violation you can't do that How is it a copyright violation? You literally take a copy of our show and sell ads around it, that's a violation. Yeah but aren't we common with attribution isn't that I think it's doable So what if in the middle of the show all of a sudden there's a stop and then an ad comes on you're okay with that There isn't it...that can't be done But they can do it right before the show starts

38:42 I would think so, yeah. We understand that a lot of other podcasters who do not employ the value for value model are A.) angry because they won't get a piece of that B.) They can't track it! They can't track how many people used Luminary to play the show Yeah, is impossible So this is a backlash of epic and yet incompletely predictable proportions For this hundred million dollar startup What a bunch of idiots Well It depends on what you call idiot. They are possibly just working on the investment dime, in other words you give yourself a... You can't overdo it but you can live for a couple of years on a couple hundred million dollars investment into your company at the pay lot of people to keep them spinning plates in the air. But think it's something to do

39:39 The thing is, we've been through this. I mean even Podshow had a version of this. This is on the investors. The investors that do dumb money that puts money into these things never... When's the last time for example? There are major companies that put money into these podcasting schemes Gimlet and all the rest of them are highly financed. Has any of the VCs, the venture capital guys who really have to do due diligence because it's usually somebody else's money they're using? Did they ever call Adam Curry, the guy who invented the whole thing and actually ran a network called Podshow? Does anybody ever call you just routinely to talk to you so that don't make a stupid mistake when they throw their money down the drain?

40:28 No. Never! That makes no sense whatsoever. So now because of this, there's calls for unionization! Yes this is... Again? This is our both I think we both join in on being the silliest thing ever. Podcast monetization problems a call for unionization and platform exclusivity This too has been discussed 15 years ago. We've been through all of it You can probably just bing it and you will find the answers to these problems which are To fuck if you can't do it, it's not gonna happen It's not how it works you also most people do not deserve to make money with their podcast because it doesn't attract enough interested people Or is just shit

41:25 It's like blogs. I remember the whole... We're both. Blog was the same thing, well i'm writing now! I should get paid for my writing we went through this oh just over and over again Well this reminds me of uh the British Podcast Awards Oh yes this is sponsored by BBC British podcast awards dot com slash vote British caught that you can go there now They do have their categories, but you can't put on those But there's a thing at the top says vote and it's called The People's Choice Awards if you type in the search engine no agenda You will see a whole list of no agenda connections with it with a phony with a phony baloney show is the first one which pisses me off

42:08 The first one on my list was the No Agenda podcast. The first one was the No Agenda podcast with a Rolling Stones tongue? Is that what you voted for? I didn't vote You didn't vote for your own show?! What kind of Academy member are YOU!? I'm going to vote! It's the second one... I was on a phone browser and couldn't see anything to vote on So, the first one is fake? There's five or six in there and it just says no agenda, doesn't say the official no agenda. Well this is a scam then! We'll never get our Peabody this way. There were podcasts that won Peabody awards by the way Yeah but they're all repurposed broadcast shows It was not one real podcast Well I'm disappointed if what you said is true

43:13 Happy Anzac Day, New Zealand and Australia. As we've done this before 25th of April 1915 New Zealand and Australia remember the landings at Gallipoli I think it is? Gallipoli? Gallipoli! The first major international war action neither of their armies was involved in So they can... What? Yeah, well it's like a... I don't remember this bit. Well no it looks like a Veterans Day. Galapagli. I just wanted to say happy ANZAC day! I remember the last time we talked about it we couldn't figure out what Anzac meant and of course the NZ is for New Zealand and Australia

44:07 Well, this is also the little period where we... Spanish-American War started in 1898. Yes you wrote quite extensively about that in a newsletter. Well not too extensively but extensively enough that it killed the donation component as usual. Hey I want some content in the newsletter! Okay? Stop begging for money! Okay here's some content Yeah, yeah. Yes exactly I feel obliged to put content in the newsletter once in a while and it's just every... It always comes out the same Yes! It doesn't work. It's not a good idea Doesn't work? Nope People talk of big game again Elizabeth Warren Everybody talks about big game about wanting content but you know when you give it to them they don't get right down to it Nah, not really

44:59 But that was a quite, quite the phony baloney war. And one of our early false flags... Yes! ...that blew up the main? I like the picture The photo with the little sailor flying in the air? Blasted into the sky. That was funny. The worst There was uh let me see what do i have a couple i got i found a lot of hoax and fake things actually if we can just switch to Green New Deal for a second I think we can do that. Which i'm sure you're happy to do. PBS had a guy on, Adam Higginbotham and he's written the book about Chernobyl The...I would say the most used example of reasons not to employ or deploy nuclear energy because tens of thousands people died, people all over Europe got cancer it was horrible

46:03 Or was it? I'm pretty sure. What have we said consistently on this show for the past 11 years about Chernobyl?" I don't know. That it was bullshit, that there was not... tens of thousands of people didn't die and that there's no... No the thing did melt down it wasn't bullshit! Now it melted down sure but it's not like the area is dead its greener than has ever been they've capped that thing off it wasn't nuclear it was a military nuclear facility so it yeah what's more severe than anything but it's one it's pretty much the aside from Fukushima

46:40 And most people from Fukushima died from the tsunami. This has always been heralded as all these people died So this guy's written a book and it's really about technology and how we shouldn't trust technology But some interesting details came out, this is PBS. This is almost 33 years ago And here you are putting out a book now what what's untold about it? Well, I would say that the principal aspect of What's Untold about it is that this version of the story is true. What did we get wrong? Well because the Soviet government did such an excellent job attempting to cover up the truth at the beginning you know most people's conceptions are what happened kind of rooted in the initial propaganda for the Soviet Union put out and also from misinformation resulted from a lack of information so for example

47:33 You know, a lot of people still think that tens of thousands of people died almost immediately as the result this accident. That's not the case? That is not the case and but part of the reason for that is Western correspondents in Moscow weren't allowed access to any information so they did their best with rumors and hearsay with the result that I think within a week of the accident, The New York Post was reporting 15000 people had died and their bodies buried in nuclear waste dump somewhere in Ukraine. And when in fact it was what? When in fact the death toll from the accident by that point was two Two. One man died in the initial explosion, a second man died by dawn that day as result of burns he sustained in the explosion And how do we calculate the ones who sort of got horrible cancers? I mean the official figures are that within five months another 29 people had died and resulted as a result radiation exposure they received In those few hours after the first explosion But then when you start to try... No two not 15 thousand 2

48:38 and then another 29 from direct exposure to the open cores at the time. And that's just kind of glossed over! Tens of thousands died in this horrible nuclear disaster. Exactly, and it did look... Here's the thing about it you know? The media plays this thing so we don't have the benefits nuclear power like the French do. And we could, but we don't because all the reactors are custom made and they're too expensive and it's a jip. But here's the thing that gets me about the anti-nuke propaganda. So Fukushima goes off

49:26 and you end up with a lot of chit-chat about the waste is headed our way, we're all gonna get wiped out on the West Coast or all the irradiated this and that. Don't we have that guy with the Geiger counter on the beach? The guy with the Geiger counter on the beach... And then we have people like Alex Jones who seems to be on the right side. Hold on listen to this. This is from one of our clips from 2013 The Geiger counter on the beach. Here I am, I'm over background... ...the alarm's going off... ...here I am on the beach... There you go! That's sort of the levels we're dealing with here And i'm standing um straight up this camera's head This was the kind of shit that was going on oh we got it on the beach It's in the tuna! It's in the sushi

50:26 Yeah, so you can't eat the fish. But the point I was making is you have to right wingers should be pro-nuke selling iodine tablets. Selling iodine that's right! As if we're all gonna die because of this Fukushima. We're just coming in and they'll be here next week It's a cloud The cloud is coming over California A cloud and all the rest of it yeah me come on The dolphins are carrying nuclear plastic All kinds of stuff like this And now we have another hoax, another Green New Deal hoax. Very disappointing that the famous Sir David Attenborough has been... is a part of this Our Planet. Oh yeah he's co-opted completely Yeah and it's really good because first all the guy has such a seminal voice for documentaries It's just pleasant to listen to him and he instills trust

51:20 Netflix has a promo out for Our Planet, it's a documentary series narrated by the same David Attenborough and it features a scene... walruses falling off of a cliff bouncing, I don't know if you've seen this, bouncing on the rocks and then dying at the bottom in a bloody mess. And then the next one jumps off and it falls backwards and just dies on top of the other ones! These are big animals and well here's the scene from this documentary... You'll note that

51:57 The people talking about what's happening and why this is happening is not David Attenborough. It's the camera guy, and it's I guess a producer or...I'm not sure what her credentials are. And she's crying! Here we go. Once at the top of the 80-meter cliffs they rest until its time to return to the sea in search of food That's the last little section, isn't it? The really steep bit. It's really steep that bit. One is going to go and there is one right on the edge And now its falling off in slow motion bashing his head against the rocks blood spurting out falling down

52:59 There's probably two or three hundred dead walrus on like a half mile stretch of beach here. They're exhausted because they have to swim 100 miles now to get to food and then coming back here, because this is the only place to sleep... ...they used to sleep on the ice dive down eat foods leave in the ice easy And now they are swimming 100 miles come into this place climbing cliffs and just exhausted and falling down either being killed falling or just crushing each other because there's several thousand crammed onto little tiny bits of beaches. This is a sad reality of climate change, they'd be on the ice right now if they could be but there's no option but to come to land and we're just endangering themselves really hard to watch and witness this it's just so heartbreaking

53:48 Oh, it's so horrible. This is the worst thing that climate change has done to anything or anyone! You see after the polar bears didn't die off because of climate change in fact... Their population increased substantially Increased substantially Now the walrus is the new polar bear. And they're using this to say because there's not enough ice, they are driven onto land and there's too many of them and then they fall off the rocks to their death Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. This is called a land haul and walruses do this periodically they did it in the 1980s when the population outstrips the food supply they have...they do this land-haul maneuver and they kill themselves in order to ensure there's enough food for the younger generation

54:50 And in fact, the walrus population is doing quite well. It's up from 100,000 to 300,000 but yet because of global warming they're throwing themselves off of the cliff a total lie. Yeah shameful but hey you could be the Netflix or podcasting Next I have the clip of these climate change now how much did just pay careful attention here Climate change, big numbers off Democracy Now. In climate news an alarming new report published in the journal Nature Communications finds without immediate action to curb greenhouse gas emissions melting Arctic permafrost could add as much as 70 trillion dollars to the overall economic impact of climate change Wow! 70 trillion Nice From melting ice And whose numbers were those?

55:49 She never said. I couldn't find them, but then sure somebody came up with them 70 trillion dollars That's a lot of money But the 70 trillion I think what so GNP is like I don't know one or two trillion? I mean it's like the whole you did it the whole world has to shut down To pay for this stuff its bull crap It's just bull crap yeah seventy trillion There was an interesting research study published by the University of Chicago about the renewable portfolio standards, something I had not heard of before. Okay, sorry, our GNP is 19.6 trillion so this would be the entire production in the United States for three

56:54 Actually more than three years, three and a half years to fix the problem of the melting ice. Anyway... Oh okay well unless you know something else horrible is made up but to go along with that yeah okay shut it down renewable portfolio standards something that's been going on since the turn of the millennium And individual states have these RPSs, which is the amount of renewable energy you have to have. And there's a sliding scale for it. Turns out there are 29 states that have these renewable portfolio standards – Texas being one of them surprisingly.

57:36 And so, you know as we know and I think you see more energy companies advertising this fact these days. We played one a couple shows ago when you have more renewable energy You need more gas fired energy or it could be nuclear but gases These are the people that are the happiest they're like hey, we're all in shit will build some windmills No problem and here's what the numbers break down to Just to give you an idea of what you really need in actual plant capital or capacity,

58:18 in stride with the renewables. And it's a very lengthy report, but the idea is renewables have a 30% capacity factor so if you want to go to 50 percent renewable you have to build 166 percent renewable capacity which means you need to have 115 base load provided by fossil fuels such as I guess. So to get to the 50% renewable portfolio standard, you need 281 percent to assure 100 base load power. Fossil fuel companies are going to make out like bandits because of this and that's the truth of your Green New Deal. We're talking almost a three-fold increase

59:18 That's a lot of gas. Yeah, it's too much and I put this research in the show notes as i said It is like a 50 page document but its all from University of Chicago so pretty reliable and just shows you that this where we're headed You are literally making fossil fuel companies rich and hey consider nuclear! That never done That's why the thing is skammish. Well, I think because of these numbers now... ...I think the nuclear industry is becoming interesting to investors. Wait a minute! If we need to have that kind of baseline power load then you know... ..the billion-dollar investment per nuke plant kinda looks okay over time and then I think you're going.. You will see this change it has too but I don't think we can even provide that much natural gas

1:00:16 A lot of fracking going on. Well, yeah the whole country will sink because of the fracking but we'll have renewable energy I just thought that was a fascinating set of numbers it's scary Well, let's go to Sri Lanka then and catch up with this. Okay? Do you have any reports I got some thoughts on it. I got one from ITN and they have an ISO which is part two for second clip of part two of this in which is standalone ISO just so happens to be the part 2 but report from Sri Lanka ITS independent television news the police trying to usher people away from the first of a series of controlled explosions

1:01:00 they conducted across the capital today. A nervous public watching on as they dealt with another suspicious vehicle. Security is at its highest level here, even at the morgue where relatives are still arriving to identify the dead With the country's churches still in lockdown details have started to emerge about those responsible for the Easter Sunday attacks This house in a quiet residential area of Colombo was where the family of two brothers responsible for the hotel bombings lived. When police raided the property on Sunday, the wife of one of the men triggered a suicide vest. Senaka lives on the same street. The woman killed herself her two children and three policemen

1:01:54 Neighbour Mohammed knew the bomber's father and can't believe his family were responsible. Almost everybody knows from this lane, you know he is a famous guy and he is rich guy and he is good guy too. He never thought this will happen from his house It was really big shock for everyone The government have confirmed all nine suicide bombers were from well-off Sri Lankan families and one of them studied in the UK. A worker at a copper factory owned by the cinnamon grand bomber told us they were shocked when the bomb squad turned up. Looking, he is very very good man Can I guess that's the ISO?

1:02:36 No, the ISO is what he has to say next. Inside Iblis. Iblis understand? Very bad! You understand English what?! Very bad... Now a couple of things that have not been pointed out by anybody and yet I want to hear your thoughts also which i'm sure are more interesting than what I'm going to explain which is that they showed a video of one of the bombers walking down through town and then going into one of the churches that blew up. And he clearly had a backpack on

1:03:13 And it appears as if the backpack was filled with explosives. And in Western countries, and Sri Lanka is pretty much westernized... It's not weird to see people wandering around—I've always felt this is a bad trend—wandering around with backpacks filled with stuff they go to the store with their backpacks I go to the store the other day and there are people with backpack on in a vegetable store And you know, they turn around and the backpack hits ya. Yes! It's the same thing on the airplane. He comes in with a huge backpack and he's waggling it off. I mean rolling... You know wheels were invented for a reason but okay if you want to carry around a load your Sherpa you're gonna walk around this back. But i think these guys have switched and so when they said that this woman blew up of vest

1:04:02 to kill her, cure herself. I don't believe so! I believe it was a backpack and i think that the future of these bombers is backpacks not vests... It's too hot nobody's gonna be well in the middle east people do this because they wear black and then 140 degrees out but in other countries like Sri Lanka being a good example people are in short sleeves they don't really have There's no, they're not going to be wearing a vest. But they will be carrying around backpacks and I think this needs to be...I think the bombers have figured this out." David Hogg can sell some of his clear plastic backpacks. It could be required by law. Yeah it could be

1:04:48 Well, so you had some thoughts. Yeah I have it there's a number of things going on and first of all It's always disturbing to realize that the United States Navy started a huge exercise in Sri Lanka On the 19th of April a multi-day exercise So we had a lot of people there in the port just always interesting to note whenever you have that going on I think that, well it's obvious that this operation was not just some willy-nilly thing. It was organized quite well we immediately had a boogeyman who we never heard of before National Tauheed Jamaat Immediately right away yeah just like 9 11 we had oh here's a passport this is it's got to be these guys and please recall

1:05:42 that we had two clips from Fox News when the Notre Dame was burning, people saying hey wait a minute there's something going on with the you know churches and people and they shut them down. Shut up! You can't talk about it not at typical Fox News move who love conspiracy certainly if it's anti-Islamic I think that this interrupted the operation And the last thing that people running this Sri Lanka operation wanted was people calling out, more hate being generated against Islamists in Europe versus where this took place.

1:06:24 Two clips here just to give you some thoughts as a former, let's say quote, former FBI agent of Fox News. I think it was Shep Smith actually and this is the intelligence community line and i know that because I got an email from Pachenik fully recognizing he's my handler to a degree his email said you should do a show About how Christians have been persecuted all around, you know the world I've been tracking this forever. This you should he's never told me to do a show about anything He has never even listened to the show as far as I know Seriously, he keeps saying how's your radio show? Okay fine It's great. That's great radio show so that to me said something Ah You want to be pushing the anti-christian meme

1:07:18 I'm not so sure. Let's listen to the FBI guy first who has read in on the topic. And retired FBI special agent Bobby Chacon, Bobby thank you for being here this morning. Tough news but not... It is not Shep obviously For someone like you this is not something new we've seen Muslim radical terrorist groups attacking Christians around the globe what does this attack tell you? Well, it's an outreach right so we've had relative stability in Sri Lanka for at least the 10 years since their civil war ended So it tells me that this radical ideology is spreading on the Indian subcontinent now being attacked and so you know, it's another sign that the Middle East is not the The sole source of these attacks and that will see more of these attacks. I

1:08:05 in places where we've seen relative stability. Okay, and how did they... Yeah yeah boy. Oh yeah oh yeah you can wait for it so they're setting something up? Yeah this group NJT you're right there hasn't been.. Oh we even have an acronym for them now! NJT that used to be... Oh yes this is very quick these things John never heard of these NJT guys pop there they are on the scene pushed by everybody. Can I stop you for a second and mention one thing because there was a lot of battling going on when you heard about all the terrorism going on in Sri Lanka but you have to always remember that during that era, which just ended 10 years ago as the gap... Civil War. Well it wasn't a civil war as much as it was terrorism but

1:08:46 between two opposing forces, but it was Buddhists and Hindus. Yes! And there was no Muslim component in... But now all of a sudden there is? In fact the you're jumping the gun a little bit but you're correct The Muslim population is very small under 10% in Sri Lanka Christian population about 7%. The majority are Buddhist If you're going to send a message to somebody which this is and I'll get to that You don't, especially in light of the... okay historians call it civil war everything I've read but it was Hindus against Buddhists and in fact you had radical Buddhists so we don't want to spark off something internally. We got to blow somebody up well we're not gonna blow Muslims let's blow some Christians and by the way there were hotels not necessary that there were three hotels three churches or not necessarily all places of worship

1:09:41 But you want to avoid the Hindus or the Buddhists, because that could set off some other stuff when you're just doing this to send a very clear message. Yeah this group NJT, you're right there hasn't been radical Islamic terrorism in Sri Lanka but their aim is to spread the global Islamist movement to that country so suicide bombings those are the types of things we saw from Al Qaeda and ISIS I mean is part of that same strand still alive? Sure, and make no mistake, B-Wild, they were identifying this local group as the one that carried it out. The planning and the support that was needed to carry out an attack like this has undoubtedly been supported by significant assistance from outside of Sri Lanka I would not be surprised if the investigation determines there was significant assistance coming from groups

1:10:29 outside that country to support an operation like this. It was very coordinated, very planned. This small local group inside Sri Lanka while it could have carried out an attack like this I doubt that they did so without material support from outside that country So we have to look at ISIS We have to look at al-Qaeda We have to look at some of the other international groups that are able to send that kind of support, both financial training bomb making equipment, bomb makers and those kinds of things. I would imagine they're going to find a lot of that support came from outside. He makes it clear outside, outside, outside OK, outside have said it many more times before became obvious. Remember that both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama tweeted about Easter worshipers all part

1:11:19 For all people who I believe, and I know this sounds crackpotty but I believe they all knew something was coming. They didn't know exactly what it was But they knew something was coming. It was a big message to Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka has had an ongoing dispute with India. India does not want them in bed with China as part of one belt, one road. What has China just done? They have poured hundreds of billions of dollars into the port—the very port where the U.S. Navy was during this attack doing an exercise I believe, and you look at the political things that have gone on with an appointment of a interior minister who was then kicked out because India didn't want it because that guy was friendly to China. This was India with help from...I think us!

1:12:11 sending a message saying screw you, you have to get China out of there. We can't it's very important in the... again it's in the shipping lane look at on the map where Sri Lanka is. Yeah that's part of the choke points The Chinese have put they've militarized parts of this port part of this base so we're there to make sure they don't go crazy and do something while this operation takes place It can't be Buddhist or Hindi Well, we're not going to do Muslims so might as well do the Christians in a couple of hotels. And I think people fucking knew about it! That's why they were trying to keep it calm We don't want this huge thing...we only wanted focused on this one little group in Sri Lanka This group by the way which trained apparently In the same area where the Tamil Tigers trained and I'm pretty sure we all know who trained the Tamil Tigers because that was the US Same is ISIS

1:13:07 It's, this is really unbelievable. Are you done? Yeah I'm done! I think we had a lot to do with it. I wouldn't be surprised, I have no evidence of that but it wouldn't surprise me. Now all we have is parallels Past events and when you have something that happens like this in your media point towards the small sketchy new group in their name instantly I mean all of your marks of a. Hoax not a hoax it didn't happen because nowadays they don't care if they kill anybody so i replied to pachinko email,

1:13:47 And I said, yeah that's a persecution happens but I can't and it laid at us. They can't get past the fact of this Chinese deal the Indians very vocal no we're not just us I have a whole article here about William Avery saying India must kick China out of Sri Lanka. This is not something that just happened and then I laid out this idea to him, he never replied to it. I sent him another email and he replies almost three minutes later so you know… I think in his older age he's not getting too good at the handling because the idea is, oh keep everyone focused on Christians. And of course it was Christians! Big problem. There was a lot of good... well that's what the UN sex slave resolution was about Christians which just went through i have a clip here if you want to play that yeah hold on

1:14:36 I didn't know anything about this. The United Nations Security Council passed a resolution Tuesday aimed at ending rape as a weapon of war after the U.S. used a veto threat to strip the measure of any mention of sexual and reproductive health, the Trump administration's successful move to water down the measure over its opposition to abortion was blasted by France's UN ambassador who said quote it's intolerable and incomprehensible that Security Council is incapable of acknowledging that women and girls who suffered from sexual violence and conflict, and who obviously didn't choose to become pregnant should have the right to terminate their pregnancy," unquote. The resolution was championed by Nobel Peace Laureate Nadja Murad, a Yazidi Kurdish human rights activist from Iraq. She was kidnapped by the Islamic State, repeatedly raped as she was held as a sex slave for almost three months. Wow! Where did this take place?

1:15:32 This will what their sex slave. Yeah, no No that was referring to the that whole Isis incidents where they grow Yes, yes a Christian angle again is the Christians from Yazidi I also saw Amal Amal Clooney was at the UN talking about this yeah and so everyone's talking about but they're all there to trash Trump because apparently the administration doesn't want this to be just some sort of government-funded abortion operation, that's the way they see it. But then I have...the other clip I have is a Sri Lankan official apologizes and there is some information in here when you say

1:16:15 This was, these guys knew this was coming. It might be kind of hinted in this clip. Sri Lankan officials apologized Monday for failing to respond to multiple tip-offs ahead of Sunday's eight attacks a confidential memo circulated among Sri Lankan security agencies gave the names addresses and phone numbers of some of the suspects It's not clear why authorities failed to act on the warnings. One surveillance video showed a suspect wearing a backpack, casually strolling towards St. Sebastian Church north of Colombo minutes before a bomb ripped through a crowd of Easter Sunday worshippers

1:16:53 killing more than a hundred of them. On Tuesday, the self-proclaimed Islamic State claimed responsibility for the bombings. The group circulated a video purporting to show eight members of Sri Lankan cell pledging allegiance to the group Now, I have to say that generally speaking when the ISIS people said that they did something it's usually something they did like the Vegas attack for example. Right Which we've had is nothing but a mess But I'm wondering if we have because ISIS has been pretty much wiped out of Syria their headquarters are gone We don't even know who's running in the place

1:17:32 So how are you going to get an official pronouncement from them unless the official pronouncers are now co-opted? It could be our military intelligence or CIA saying these things on behalf of ISIS. We kind of know who ISIS is and who trained them in Jordan, and then, you know, who gave them weapons in Syria... we kind of know them! Yeah well that's why we also gave him like a whole cache of weaponry Yeah, well that was yeah, the Straybar group but thanks Obama. Pretty much. We've, we I did, I didn't notice time just flew by so it is high time for me to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you the man who always puts the sea in crackpot John C. Dvorak! In the morning to Mr Adam Curry also in the morning to all the ships that seem feet on the ground subs of water feet in the air dames out there knights and dames and knights out there yeah

1:18:33 In the morning to everybody in the troll room. How ro trolls no agenda stream dot com is where you can always drop by during the live show, chat along troll me troll everybody else maybe be helpful crack jokes one liners work on your comedy routine and it's a place you can always hang out 24 seven The stream is always going with tons of great shows No Agenda Stream dot com also in the morning too there he is again Darren O'Neill Bringing us the Easter artwork for episode 1131. The title of that was Chud, C-H-U-D A classic! We love it You got easter eggs with all of our little no agenda That's true and sure and glitch and crackpot and Earth Day in ITM and lone wolf Wolf 420 egg Yeah It was a perfect piece we appreciated that And he and Darren was so smart

1:19:28 He gave us two versions. One had Chud on an egg, and he did one without Chud thinking that we might pick that as the title...and how smart he is! NoahJendaArtGenerator.com Thank you Darren. That's uh it's such a great contribution to the show But also when you're voting for the No Agenda podcast over that BBC Podcast Awards, it helps because you'll see the most recent artwork. Yeah but we won't be able to figure out which one to vote for they have too many icons cropping up Well for people who listen to this show they'll recognize our current artwork That did show up for me Our current artwork The eggs So thats the one you want to hit or the one for this show whatever it is Well we got screwed Of course we get screwed

1:20:24 Alright, well let's thank a few people who... Now the show that we're talking about that had the... What was the artwork that Darren did? I'm not understanding your question. On Chud? Yeah, oh he did the same piece of art only he put chod on one of the eggs and then he did a version without him that was uncle cave bear are you sure am i giving the wrong person credit here yeah it's Uncle Cave Bear we get he came Darren O'Neill's piece was not it was just an agenda on the egg Oh then I gave the wrong person credit I'm sorry uncle cave there were good catch John huh okay I'll fix that

1:21:09 Yeah, well after that whole I'm glad there's two of us. This is good news Yes archduke or he's actually Grand Duke I believe Maybe not in Virginia Beach a nut and nuts bomb He says lifelong friend Shipmate? Says lifelong friend ship mate and brother from the armed forces MC passed last night. All is not well, KNKNJ. Sorry to hear that. He lost a friend. Anyway he came in with $333.33 and we'll give him a moment of silence Kendra Hartsell in Riverside California who came with the same amount and she actually wrote in Okay An email which I didn't catch to begin with but caught it now

1:22:08 Dear John and Adam, just want to say thank you for the media deconstruction your show provides so much value. Thanks are my favorite thanks to my favorite son he knows who he is for introducing me to the best podcast in the universe nice NJNK all right Thank You very much can't sweet straight-up note easy now those are our two executive producers we go down to John Kresnik $222 and 22 cents or have a lot of people today For show 1132 should be Thursday. Please accept this donation for two proud parents from two proud parents on behalf of our son Andrew Kresik he also is celebrating his 18th birthday this week and who's graduating from high school yes, He already understands the formula and is mentally prepped for college

1:23:01 The show is a great product. Can you play toot of the head, goat scream and can you see that juice? I wonder what school he's going to if he's gonna be a no agenda prepped college university student That should be interesting Yeah And he needs to tell us how everything is going Yes and your on the list fantastic Oh my gosh! Can you see that juice?! You've got karma. But the silence is taken out. It's a double whammy, but now I like it with the more natural sound of the original audio as it gives me some mental breaks especially when at work which is where I listen most of the time and finally meetup.com does suck NJNK

1:24:03 Yes, that's why we do what you do in technology. If you don't like what's out there make one of your own I will say hard is it to code this stuff? Yeah, I was looking for a particular segment on an old show and I went to know agenda player comm which is completely new Have you seen this thing recently no, I have not know agenda player calm is its beautiful And and I mean this the producer who has done this because we are we don't maintain or build any of these sites I don't think we own, we don't even have the domain name. NoahGenderPlayer.com He could sell this he could open this up to any podcast it's so fantastic and now you have the ability to annotate So you can come in and say like SoundCloud You say here i want to put a little note here Here is where this topic of discussion started And it was so helpful It was just fantastic Just a little plug

1:24:59 It's a good plug. Well, this is what the Value for Value Network is. I don't mind you plugging the thing it sounds terrific! We have thousands of producers and we have no advertising and yet here we are... And yet here we are and we haven't unionized yet although I'm thinking about it. Well I'm gonna bust your Union I mean I'm your scab. You're going to scab me out? I'm gonna scab ya out do the Adam Agenda podcast Adam agenda, John agenda. Yeah Dame G money dollars. Money. Dame g money. G money $200 Hey guys what's the episode where y'all tell us about how the show production works 200 point something whatever the highest number 200 point eight I think or two hundred point six and how producers can contribute with ISOs? I don't know if we ever did a show about that

1:25:57 And such. Also, my friend Whitecell is a douchebag. Oh hold on. Call her out we just did. Whitecell you know you love the show give some of that value for value love donating feels good Love You Mean It Dame G Money Well, since we have no more executive or associate executive producers I'll take a moment to explain. Once again this is the value for value model we don't have an audience of listeners we have a network of producers many producers just sit home scratch their crotch and say great show sometimes they go out and they help propagate the formula called hitting people in the mouth

1:26:42 Other people use their talents or their knowledge. So particular stories you can send in just Adam mccurry calm I guess a John at the vorac org does that work? Yeah, it's too yeah works squeaky chair at the vorac org no I don't have this Although the chair does want its own email address. And you can, we have many different places where you can contribute just annotating the show on noagenderplayer.com or going to and there's also I found that was the No Agenda like one big PDF file. What the hell was that again? Damn it! Keep forgetting to promote that one It's a topic list of every show we've done it's a huge PDF

1:27:29 Really? Yeah. God damn it! What show does it end at? The most recent one Which one did it start at? I didn't look, but it was such a huge file. Now i forgot where you find...I'll put in the show notes and I'll find a link to it. Well, I have to find it myself! Yeah that's correct. I tweeted a link to it the other day Oh, I missed that So it so it's out there Anyway, people do that or you know The Art Generator Where artists upload their art These are all producers And you will find that people get out of the network what they put into it Sometimes it's just accolades from your colleagues, sometimes in art. It is an exercise but people have... I know people who've never done a mix or jingle in their life and they've learned how to do it by sending stuff into the show and some of it is just so bad, it's so funny we love to play it and then all sudden these people turn into really good producers in that regard Clips? Just email them

1:28:24 If it's over 10 megabytes, please use WeTransfer or something like that because it'll just get bounced back by my email server. And then one last tip if you have something to share either on Twitter or on email It is not a good idea You have to choose who are going to send it to Send it to John or send it to Adam? If you send it to both of us What often happens is none of us neither of us do anything with it And that's the same with tweets. If you send something, a link to something just give me the context where is it from who's talking? Just the file that shows up with oh this is great yeah and then we have luckily a portion of our producers who function like Hollywood does where they finance the work and keeps Adam & John alive

1:29:19 And that is how you get an executive producer. Well, it keeps us from doing too many other things as the key That is indeed the key You're right I mean I tried for a little bit trying to do some crypto ICO coin scam and that didn't work But we got some fun free shows out of The Netherlands for it because I didn't pay to go over there But anyway, that's good. Anyway yes that you're right and I think the less we do to make ends meet and just keep on the show... That's our attitude! How do you make ends meet? We do very little. I've really given up on becoming a millionaire again it's like no i don't think i got any more ideas in me i'm too tired i want to go pitch stuff

1:30:10 do anything corporate. I've been, I've completely corrupted myself on patently unhirable was it's nice not to hit you know it's nice to be able to do the kind of one thing we do without having to worry about that because people have no idea how hard it is to bring some of these topics up in a commercial environment. It's not even possible. You can't do it. They won't talk about any of this stuff. Won't be accepted exactly right? So that's the deal and that's why this podcast is a real podcast. I'm like...

1:30:45 Yeah, phony podcasting. Unlike any phony baloney stuff this is the real deal ladies and gentlemen and we want to thank these executive producers and associate executive producers of episode 1132 it's your show you get to take that credit you get to put it anywhere it works for you where credits are recognized and they are quite valuable and we need support more than this hopefully for our next program which will be on Sunday visit our donation page at Dvorak.org Slash N-A. Whether you use it or not, at least you have a better idea of what the real insurance policy was! Our formula is this... We go out we hit people in the mouth. Hey everyone today uh... Shut up! I thought i'd get more Zuck in there. Did you notice that Zuckerberg stars high everyone exactly the same way Scott Adams does?

1:31:43 Yeah, a little bit I guess. And that's where he got it from. I think he listens to Adam say oh that's how you do it even though Scott Adams doesn't even do a podcast. It's a periscope! No no no... He also puts an audio version out on RSS feed yeah so technically... I thought Zuckerberg was derivative No, but I'm saying that Scott Adams does it on RSS feed. Yeah okay well he's a podcaster then yeah we'll give him that We'll give him the podcast Maybe he doesn't want it maybe thinks it's a humiliation Can you hold on one second? Yeah let's see what we got here because we have not heard from my recorder for awhile Okay let me explain what happened Let me explain what happened sorry about that um...we have moved and

1:32:35 With the move come all kinds of small issues, such as... The dishwasher leaks. The oven doesn't work. The washing machine still hasn't showed up We've had no washing machine for almost 10 days There's a lot of things that don't work and I had to do a lot of- Still getting no mail Have no mailbox None! No mail! I don't exist So the washing machine is coming today Yeah, and I have someone who will be waiting for it when it arrives. It wasn't gonna come until May 24th So you see so I'm very very antsy to grab this now that its coming I was able to get one out of a different warehouse But if you don't answer the call when they when they call you 30 minutes before delivery Then they will not deliver. So that's what that was. I'm sorry Yes, the washing machine

1:33:33 Thank you. Was it the washing machine calling? Yes, well not the washing machine itself Well, you know nowadays with the smart and AI washing machines they can't call. We have I've taken out everything there's no more There is nothing as wireless here Nothing is connected. I have Honeywell thermostats that just work... The Honeywell thermostat it's a round one right? No no It is the electric one the electronic one but it has no Wi-Fi capability I do not have a fridge with a Wi-Fi although every single one has the option Every single thing these days has a Wi-Fi option. No, I didn't do the hue lights everything screw it done with it I got to I got manual dimmers you gotta get up and walk to the wall and dim it Oh no Yes exactly now we want less less signals in the house is the this is a sanctuary except for the studio Where I have so many noises have to get a different microphone because of that RF flying around this place

1:34:36 Anyway, you were going on about something. No I interrupted you! You were going on about something. I don't remember but I do have some entremets...I got some median clips there's some stuff that uh i got the Klobuchar doing the Jeb Bush bit okay where is it said the Klobuchar doing a Jeb bush with a k I am someone that runs in a purple state. Every single time i have run, I have won every single congressional district in my state including Michelle Bachman's okay? That's when you guys are supposed to cheer okay? So lame! Please clap Was it on the prompter then

1:35:19 But that was my first question. Was she reading it from prompter? I don't think so. These town halls are interesting where they're sitting down on kind of stool like chairs and then the question is asked and then the candidate always gets up and starts answering the question to the crowd, it's a very unnatural format and kinda goofy to be honest And now I'm just thinking perhaps you gotta get up to see the prompter That's possible The other thing is If they're gonna make these things so rigged and so scripted, put in an applause sign up. People when it turns on people will gladly applaud. We need the applause sign exactly!

1:36:09 You know, you get a guy that warm up guy comes in gets the crowd all jacked up He's jumping up and down and then he then he will tell the he will direct the audience to pay attention To the applause sign. And when you see it clap, it'll make this show that much better So California has been In the news certainly for San Francisco and Los Angeles for the pooping on the streets For the needles found everywhere, there's now a needle map in addition to the poop map. I think there is an app for it as well. San Francisco on the side they hand out four and half million needles each year to drug addicts because Starbucks did what they did

1:36:57 Has a human right to be in a Starbucks no matter what your situation is now They are installing needle disposal boxes in the Starbucks bathrooms, and it seems that this type of decriminalization That we've seen in. What was the the current? Metric in California for crimes that are no longer there I think they're called crimes of need I don't know what they're called, but anything under a thousand dollars. Is no longer is no longer looked into it's not on here right? The police don't care you get your car somebody comes by and cracks the windshield of going to cost you it's gonna cost you or your insurance company. I don't know how many hundreds of dollars to fix but more than 10 cents and your time yeah too bad well oh wait I got the guy in video tip I got that here he is we don't care

1:37:55 This is Rolling Out, now in Dallas. When it comes to rolling out his new policy for justice reform in Dallas County DA John Cruzo makes no apologies We have an over criminalization of America and it starts with poor people and people of color And we know that. Everybody knows it, everybody says we're going to do something about it but nobody ever does anything about it and so thats why I'm acting." Council members listened as the DA outlined his plans to eliminate prosecution of certain low-level crimes including marijuana offenses and theft of personal items worth less than $750 unless the theft was for financial gain.

1:38:36 hardest impact on these low-income high crime areas. Councilmember Sandy Grayson expressed concern over the DA's policy to not prosecute thefts for crimes of need because I think we're not really considering the business owner in this what if six people come in one day and take diapers six different people. How does he recover that loss? Another concern, the DA's plan to cut back on prosecuting crimes of trespassing and panhandling. That is killing Pleasant Grove, killing us. Councilmember Kevin Felder says he believes the DA is on the right track I support what you're doing because Dallas has one of the highest concentrations of poverty in the nation

1:39:26 So it is, they said it there. The crimes of need that is the term that I'm... Well doesn't anyone who's stealing a $700 item for whatever reason they need the money? Yes crime of need! Well then all crimes are crimes of need Well, this is special cases John. It's under $700 crime of need. Diapers! So what they're gonna do is they're going to let the... This is the DA that initiated this and it's the DA in Seattle who initiated a similar program up north. It's the DAs around here that are initiating this. Kamala Harris is a good example one of the San Francisco DAs who pushed this sort of thing. You bet

1:40:12 So what you end up with is just rampant crime $700 is not a look who gives the idea who has this idea that? $750 is meaningless elites with a lot of dough at least with a lot of dough is exactly right because I mean it's somebody if you get A speeding ticket and it's gonna cost you two hundred dollars. Do you consider that a lot of money? Why don't they just drop out while they're at it It's just ridiculous. They're so cavalier that they think $750 means nothing to anybody I'm reliably informed that this particular issue and perhaps even the moniker crimes of need will be used incessantly in the 2020 election Well, they're gonna lose incessantly then

1:40:58 I don't know, there's a lot of people who might commit crimes of need or could be thinking about it. For instance NPR just did a story about today's millennial who owns nothing and lives nowhere It's a part of the gig economy with a native ad. Steven T Johnson works in social media advertising and he spends most of his days using things he does not own I took an uber to Equinox to shower before we met, then went to PodShare And then came to WeWork. Stephen took a ride share to get to the gym he uses, He does not own a car at the gym. He rents a locker He uses the gym's laundry service because he does not own a washing machine. He doesn't even have an apartment actually exactly we were gonna meet at pod share this co-living space where Steven rents bed just a bed in a big open room with about a dozen other people but it was too loud and

1:41:52 So we went to his co-working space, a place called WeWork where Steven rents a desk. WeWork is also an NPR sponsor Well, how coincidental you have that in the story. Let's hear more! Steven owns so little he can carry most of his stuff in his hands I actually gave up my backpack about... That was the smallest I got down to and I gave it up two months ago? Steven also only owns 2 outfits See even backpac- just having a backpack will become suspicious John So I think you're right about that Well, two of the same outfit Under armor brandless sport shoes Lulu Lemon Pants, Lululemon Socks, Lululemon Shirt, Lululemon Underwear.

1:42:41 Does Stephen represent a fundamental shift in American capitalism as we know it? The fact is that we can't afford to sort of hoard anymore. That's Skylar Wang, he's a PhD student at UC Berkeley. He studies the sociology of the sharing economy and he thinks one of the biggest factors in this economic shift is younger people buying fewer houses and choosing to live in dense urban areas and rent smaller places. Part of this is houses just being more expensive than they were for our parents. But when you're more okay with renting the place you live in, it's maybe a lot easier to accept a life where you rent and share a whole lot more." Wang does point out even if young people own less they still have a lot of stuff

1:43:27 stuff that isn't tangible. I talked to a lot of minimalists, they are the type of people who love the culture right? They own like 30 things but then the interesting thing is that they hoard digitally. They hoard digitally! They have tons of photographs, they have thousands and thousands of Instagram posts. It's still an economy of stuff it's just different stuff its experiences speechless. Well, there's a couple things in there that don't surprise me especially this idea of experiences being studied to an extreme now and it seems that the millennials at least one group of them I believe is the older ones have more they would they have more love having an quote-unquote experience this is why we've noticed this trend with

1:44:24 single batch, small batch and all these things you buy a product. It has to have story and it has to be in experience just as gotta have a story about it. Yes yes no story no sale right? Hey that's good one! No Story No Sale best price. No Story No Sale And so you end up with this is... So everything is kind of centered around this and I watched this and its like uh... Its flabbergasting to be honest about it They will make sacrifice for the experience. I don't even, really still contemplating it but that piece that you ran tells a lot of this story.

1:45:06 would be one of the front runners of talking about how inexpensive disk space has become. So for them to be collecting experiences, documenting said experiences and hoarding them is incredibly sad that they're storing this on Instagram even though I believe that the likes and comments are all part of the experience And that can go away, you know. That can get deleted and you can get kicked off... anything can happen! Just imagine if that is truly your experiential life and that is very important to you and you have no possessions as a minimalist but your posessions are the documentation of your experiences and it gets taken away I think people will off themselves

1:45:57 Well, I never thought they did mention that here being an old timer computer type. Oh sorry yes. I want to say when he was talking about his collections the first thing that came to my mind and this is why i thought it's interesting what you just said As he said this, I have all these photos. I have a collection of photos and I have all my Instagram posts and the first thing that went right through my brain was oh! He's somehow backed up Instagram. He has it on a big hard disk. Oh no way... No way

1:46:33 Well, and now that you mention it. You're right! There's no way and I will say this and you've seen this happen over the last 20 or 30 years there are all these systems that come up and people they oh I can store my whole photo collection I can store the whole thing in full size instead of having it backed on a cheap hard disk that you could buy at Costco that has terabytes and terabytes of storage No,no,no...you store it all on some online And here's a crazy idea. Here's a crazy, crazy thought that I've advocated for many times print some out You will lose your photos...I have been saving photos all my life and i know that at least one or two of my drives will never fire up again you need to print some stuff out

1:47:25 Print it out. You can send it to CVS and go buy on your way home from your shitty job, and I think a advertising interactive advertising the guy's probably making $37,000 a year because he has to compete against you know the H2B visa workers. Oh I'm sorry now what you just said I think is a great idea and I will mention Costco in other places you know, two or three quote unquote rolls on a small thumb drive and take it to Costco. And they'll print these things out inexpensively about the same you'd have to pay for supplies that do it yourself

1:48:09 fairly inexpensively and you will have these backups. And they actually, the gear that the big print guys have is a little better than what you generally have in it and it also tunes photos a little bit. There's going to be entire generation of children who get old and die and there's gonna be nothing left I really enjoy having some my mom's crazy shit Some letters and some photos... Photos! I like the photos. I like photos of my daughter. Black-and-white photos Yeah, I agree. Because you know i've saved all of the original videotapes of Christina second birthday third birthday there's some fun stuff on it start rolling them out yeah It's VHS then I also have a VHSC I have beta no what's the DV video now? I saved the actual cameras so I can play it back yeah this is a problem but it's going and yeah their services who will do it

1:49:03 And I understand the storage is going to be a problem because oh my god now you besides your $200 lululemon pants You also have to carry around some like if a photo album and you have no backpack for it. It's not gonna work This is not gonna work for these guys, maybe hey exit strategy. I just saw a giant truck go by Giant truck with the big blue side that said prime Yeah Yeah, Amazon. Anyway you know they're into this the way they're doing it is what they are into and I think they are going to be sorely disappointed if its a bad choice. This is just a warning yeah I agree. It's just hey take it from your Uncle Adam and Uncle John You might want to have some memories later on And it's gonna go away If you trust it to Instagram Just take a couple make a selection

1:49:57 We need to have the millennialvault.com or something like this, where you just send off a couple pictures we print and we store them for ya which of course we don't do because we're really an on-demand printing system so say we're gonna print these for you and will keep them safe for you And then when you go pick em up which 90% will never do Then oh here they are! We print them off real quick So there also well preserved kept perfectly well obviously we won't lose the data It's another exit strategy. Mac and cheese is my idea of a perfect birthday cake That's an actual commercial Same people, same people! Tell me if you can spot the magic number in this African flooding clip that nobody is talking about

1:50:45 In South Africa, at least 33 people are dead in the eastern province of KwaZulu-Natal after floods and mudslides crush homes around the city of Durban. Some parts of South Africa have received over nine inches of rain since Monday—more than three times the average monthly total for all She then goes on a generic rant about climate change, of course. Of course! Now I do...I've said this before, I like Democracy Now because it will pick up stories that the mainstream is just not going to touch and i have a couple The mainstream is unwatchable in America In America it's unwatchable So I got a couple here that are kind of..i didn't know any of this was going on

1:51:38 This is the one that got my attention. This is the Japanese eugenics program. In a remarkable move, the government of Japan... Oh wait stop stop stop! I hate to say this but I do listen to Democracy Now for a reason Yeah But this was actually on PBS Okay In a remarkable... On Street Lead-Ins Alright And here we go again. In a remarkable move, the government of Japan has formally apologized today to an estimated 25 thousand people who were forcibly sterilized from 1948 to 1996 It was done under eugenics law designed to quote prevent the birth of poor quality descendants Many but not all of those sterilized had disabilities

1:52:25 Now the victims will be eligible for some compensation of $28,600 apiece. How much? 2800? 2800? 28000. Oh okay wow Not worth it. Navy SEALs who witnessed their platoon chief commit war crimes in Iraq were encouraged not to speak out and told they could lose their jobs for reporting him at a private meeting with a superior officer last year. According to a confidential Navy criminal investigation obtained by The Times, the commandos said they saw Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher stab and kill an unarmed teenage

1:53:26 captive, shoot to death a young girl and old man and fire indiscriminately into crowds of civilians. But what the men on Gallagher's team called a private meeting with their troop commander and demanded investigation—they were told to stay quiet on the matter, and no action was taken." The group of seven SEALs eventually were able to force an investigation in Chief Edward Gallagher was arrested on more than a dozen charges including premeditated murder and attempted murder. If convicted he could face life in prison his trial begins on May 28th Wow you're right no one talked about that one, No One! No One! Well I guess it's not en vogue hey we got an operation going on coming up somewhere in Sri Lanka so shut up with all this news gotta focus

1:54:16 focus people, stand down. I need to clarify some stuff...I did one of my typical this is a fine outstanding citizen about Nipsey Hussle the rapper slash community activist that loved by many who feel it was actually not the Nokia it was the Staples Center they built the Staples Center for him And now my point usually is, okay you can glorify this guy but he also did fuck Donald Trump in 2016 with YG and it was pretty clear. It was like, eh, upstanding citizen but that's... Was that really necessary? I got a lot of pushback and I understand people are fans, fans of the music. I really have no problem with the music. I thought Fuck Donald Trump! was a nice sing-along ditty. I was just making a point

1:55:10 But as I looked deeper into Nipsey Hussle, um...I was able to push back after several long email chains with multiple people who are fans have a lot more understanding of gang culture than i do. Even the YG-Nipsey Hussle F Donald Trump video was actually the Crips and Bloods together in the same video you know there he was trying to move himself away from from the gangs for sure. But here's what I heard from a lot of different people and they were very angry he did all this great stuff for his community, he bought the entire strip mall that that is clothing store is in

1:55:56 and he's doing all this community stuff, and he bought a fat burger. And he's been giving money to people, and he gave money to the school... There is Vector90 where you can rent a desk and there will be a STEM center! He is really really good guy So let's run these down for second because once I did this I figured out why he did the F Donald Trump video was very interesting. So first of all, this marathon clothing that is in an area of The Hood I would say they sell $100 beanie caps and $200 t-shirts so i don't know how great this is for The Hood but you know that's a pretty high price. He

1:56:49 actually did not buy the strip mall. He is a member of the consortium run by a Los Angeles real estate developer named Dave Gross, Dave Gross and Nipsey Hussle but also I think Jay-Z is in there DJ Khaled this is a very typical type of operation where you get a couple of celebrities and you're going to build things so they bought the strip mall they bought I don't think Nipsey put any money into it They bought the strip mall and guess what they're going to do? They're going to tear it down, build residential units with Marathon as the anchor tenant for retail. I wonder if that will be affordable housing He did not own The Fat Burger early days he made t-shirts for The Fat Burger staff to wear This same Dave Gross consortium

1:57:45 is working on building the, buying the Viceroy Hotel changing that entire concept. The school money was Nipsey again being a front man for Puma who donated the money. He's also just a front man for Vector90 which is as we know like WeWork, it's basically a money-making operation where you rent a desk by the hour or a cubicle by the day this STEM center has still not opened as far as I know But this guy really came on my radar when I was in the Netherlands working on my own crypto coin, ICO scam. As Nipsey Hussle at the same time was in The Netherlands and he was signing up as he says well yes we're...we've invested in this follow coin and no! He was doing exactly what I was doing being a figurehead for an ICO for a crypto coin because what is this guy?

1:58:43 He's he is a front man for other people's projects And then all of us suddenly understood the fuck Donald Trump song is self-hate. He's exactly the same as Trump He puts his name on real estate developments Well, I'd he put his name on realistic development Yeah, Trump sells his name more and he does stuff. And then there's this conspiracy theory about Dr. Sebi who had cured AIDS and had different cures for diabetes and this guy was killed by Big Pharma before Nipsey Hussle was shot He said I'm gonna do a documentary because a lot of his supplements are really special! He was in the supplement game! Zounds

1:59:30 The supplement game. Yeah, you know like... That's the boner pills. The pill man! Yes so and I hate because people are fans and they love him but i do want to say that he really wasn't doing all that much great stuff for the community as far as I can find evidence of But it was... You don't even say your doing great stuff for the community Right but it was surprising to me to learn that oh no wonder Trump is a rival to him Anyway, that's funny. That is a long way by the way for this Shaggy Dog story to what you just did Well I've been sitting on this a long route A long route to temporary You have to understand the amount Here's what happened Laura Ingraham Did something similar on her show two weeks later And they had people going after advertisers Now we're pretty bulletproof since we have no advertisers

2:00:29 And I had several back and forth where I learned a lot. And thank goodness the people who were emailing with me didn't just say, ah fuck you! Stop! So I learned about the gang culture... You don't spell it CK, you spell it CC because CK could be seen as crypt killer. I mean I learned a lot of gang stuff and I think Nipsey Hussle was still involved All I'm saying is just be careful who your worship that's all. You should, don't forget it's adam at curry.com That's right He is looking forward to your feedback Looking forward to it Yes looking forward to your constructive feedback I've never heard one of these guys songs, I've never hear a hymn And I'm sure that would be...I should maybe keep up with this sort of thing but you can't keep up with everything So I am out of the loop with this character and

2:01:25 It just seems odd that he got so much attention out of the blue. At least odd to me! Then there was an election in Ukraine, a runoff election... And as we discussed a second ago with the lack of coverage in United States about this story about the bad actor Seal and some other things Why isn't this getting like just I watched all the news stories the other for the last couple of days and I didn't see anybody opening with this or even mentioning it well The only networks, the only place I could get it from a clip which is again from one of our vast network of producers is from Radio Ukraine International

2:02:14 Volodymyr Zelensky, a comedian and showman has scored the landslide victory over incumbent President Petro Poroshenko. And by the way for a comedian to score a landslide victory over a guy named Poroshenko that probably the only Ukrainian name everyone has heard of? That's news to me! Volodymyr Zelensky, a comedian and showman has scored the landslide victory over incumbent President Petro Poroshenko in Ukraine's runoff presidential vote Sunday. As of 8 p.m. Monday, the Central Election Commission had processed almost 100% of electronic vote count protocols from 200 constituency commissions according to which more than 73 percent of voters supported Volodymyr Zelensky while President Petro Poroshenko collected 24.5 percent of the vote The commission said that final results would be officially announced on April 30th I can't wait! The comedian wins

2:03:13 I think it's one of the most hilarious things and the news media does not want to play this for what you just said. This is extremely newsworthy, I read an article very good article well fairly decent article at least in foreign affairs and they credit this They're, and this is the front for the Council on Foreign Relations. This magazine. What magazine? What magazine is it? Foreign Affairs. So whenever they write you have to assume as being policy. Of course! Yes. So they say what was Zelensky's secret to winning and they announced that there was a landslide. That's another thing that makes it newsworthy. Landslides. It was a comedian getting a landslide victory

2:03:59 They claim it was all just anti-establishment votes. He says what was and then it made even weirder I think there were some Brexit, some Facebook ads like Brexit that probably influenced Yeah, maybe. What was Zelensky's secret they ask? He ran for president as a virtual candidate eschewing traditional rallies political talk shows and press interviews in favor of comedy concerts slick social media messaging and carefully curated appearances on friendly channels his most original an effective campaign platform was undoubtedly is

2:04:37 hit TV series, Servant of the People in which he stars as an accidental president who crusades against corruption. Which means we could easily see Julia Louis-Dreyfus running and becoming president? Yes technically I don't think we're susceptible to this is some other places but... Hello! We already have our TV guy Trump so we don't need another one we don't want to do that two in a row But this guy, you know was the so he's kind of a Trump because he's coming from a TV show. This is like a major event especially since we're so wound up in the Ukraine or in Ukraine not all Ukraine that You'd think this would be go float right to the top now Nobody's just said no don't even talk about it why?

2:05:31 Well, this is the indictment of the mainstream media right? This story. That's exactly right There's that angle and also this doesn't bring any candidate Election money into the coffers so why would we bother even looking at the story I mean Sri Lanka has already gone It's already gone and we're back to Beto Beto and and Buddha jay Buddha Jays mayor Pete of The Hamlet Mayor Pete of his giant city. His giant hamlet, Gotham. But instead of course we get the stories about the new words added to the dictionary

2:06:13 Oh, I miss this story. This is usually what I catch Well, I have a couple of them New meanings for old words And I was surprised by some that I thought would've been codified long ago Snowflake has now been added as... What do you mean by long ago? Well snowflake just cropped up in the last couple years Ah okay well how about tailwind and headwind These words now are also used figuratively to refer to a force or influence that either helps or hinders progress. I believe the term tailwind and headwind has been used in that manner for many years." In this regard, I totally agree. Purple? Purple has an additional meaning...it's not new...well it says new meanings for old words but of course its going to be besides the blending of red and blue

2:07:07 Purple can now refer to geographical areas where voters are split between Democrats and Republicans. Purple! This is already being used by Klobuchar... By the Democrats. Hillary Clinton had purple on when she was supposed to win, everybody was wearing purple. Podesta had a little purple tie, had a little purple thingamabob handkerchief. They could have been code for something else Mmm, it's a purple revolution. It says Soros thing Goldilocks Goldilocks has a new definition referring to the characters astronomers use it to describe an area of Planetary orbit in which temperatures are neither too hot nor too cold to support life Just right what when did this show up? I never heard this I've never heard it

2:08:01 New compound terms, now this is what like this is new page view. Is now an official compounded term so you know viewing a page on our website on brand? Is now a compounded term garbage time. Which is the final moments or minutes of a game in which one side has an insurmountable lead. Go- That's usually on what it refers to, almost exclusively to basketball but okay... Yeah go cup? What?! Yeah! Go Cup plastic it's well it's not a new word but now it's an official- Oh my go cups like a go bag. Yeah and screen time which is very new but they plop that one in right away now referring to time spent- No you're saying its new!?

2:08:49 See, this is where I disagree with you because i think that's an older term. Oh no no they're saying it's a new meaning for screen time What's the old meaning? Referring to the amount of time someone appeared in front of a camera in a movie dating back to the golden age of Hollywood now referring to time spent in front of his screen I thought screen time, time spent in front of a screen has been around for at least a decade. Well i wouldn't be doing this item if i wasn't surprised myself! New words gig economy yeah jeez i hate that one vulture capitalism also another new well it's now officially in the Merriam-Webster dictionary this is what i'm reading from them entertainment words buzzy

2:09:38 That's now a word. Buzzy, b-u-z-z-y causing or characterized by a lot of speculative or excited talk or attention. Buzzys for it is buzzy and then you have a bottle episode I've dad I don't understand what that is I've been in television a long time an inexpensively produced episode of a television series that has typically confined to one setting A bottle episode I never heard this term no And finally EGOT, of course we know that one. Egot? E-g-o-t Yeah you win all these awards Emmy, Grammy Oscar and a Chowny A Chowny! I was surprised by some other ones like Qubit which just comes from quantum computing Gender nonconforming Ooh top surgery there you go Would you like some top surgery? I don't think so

2:10:42 Do you want to know what top surgery is? Isn't it breast implants or something? Gender confirmation surgery in which a person's breasts are removed or augmented.

Dvorak dot org slash na Easy Kids love it. So now we have, of course we have another... It's not in the Trump rotation but going after Jared Kushner is always a good thing Oh yes! I got two clips. I have the human rights group are condemning the Saudis and then Kushner gets condemned And then there is second clip which is the funnier clip which is Kushners in The Room

2:20:22 But let's play the human rights notations. Human rights groups are condemning Saudi Arabia's mass execution of 37 prisoners accused of terrorism and espionage, Amnesty International says 11 of the men put to death were convicted of spying for Iran after what it called a grossly unfair trial. Amnesty says at least 14 others were convicted for participating in anti-government protests between 2011 and 12. Amnesty says the 14 men were tortured in order to have, quote, "'confessions' extracted from them." One prisoner's body and severed head were put on display in a public crucifixion. In response, Maya Foa, director of the British legal charity Reprieve said quote that the Saudi regime believes it has impunity to carry out such patently illegal executions without notice should shock its international partners into action. And her head is gone I don't understand what action people are supposed to take there they're a sovereign nation

2:21:26 And if they kill people, you know their own citizens for some reason or other that has to do with their laws. Well there's something up... You remember I had that clip from Pompeo when he was in Dallas? Yeah, he was talking about how you know we actually teach our agents in the CIA how to lie and cheat and steal. So he wasn't just in Dallas just a joke of quote-unquote joke about the CIA He had a closed door meeting with 15 Iranian American community leaders and This was closed door but of course it leaked out

2:22:08 that Pompeo had said to these 15 Iranian American community leaders, that the Trump administration is quote not going to do a military exercise inside Iran. Which to me means look out for some other kind of false flag I don't like using the term but whenever you say explicitly and let it leak out why else would he go to Dallas to talk to them and this comes out of it? Yeah, now we're not gonna do anything. But with these new sanctions... I do not like what is going on! I don't like Pompeo and then this is the Bolton... it's all these neocon jack-offs. Yeah, the Pompeo and Boltons are worse. And why is Trump even allowing this? You're asking the wrong guy. He may not know. Maybe he doesn't think he knows. It's possible that he doesn't know what the hell is going on. That's what everyone claims so maybe that's true

2:23:06 Let's hear the second part of this. This is again Saudi Arabia, anti-Saudi Arabia material going through democracy now. In New York City senior White House advisor and President Trump son in law Jared Kushner Tuesday told a Time magazine forum he does not dispute the CIA's conclusion that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi But Kushner said it's more important to focus on American foreign policy interests, at a gala dinner later in the day honoring Time's list of the world's 100 most influential people.

2:23:42 Comedian Hassan Minhaj called for the release of Saudi women's rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul, who has been tortured since her arrest for opposing the kingdom's male guardianship system and a former ban on women drivers. Minhaj also called out Jared Kushner directly over his close relationship with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. I know there are a lot of very powerful people here and it would be crazy if I don't know if there was just like a, I don't know like if there was like a high-ranking official in the White House that could WhatsApp MBS and say hey maybe you could help that person get out of prison because they don't deserve it. That'd be crazy! That means...that person would have to be in the room but It's just a good comedy premise. Hey how can you resist? If your comedian and then want to get this woman out of prison right guy sitting there doing material

2:24:42 So that's another thing that I find annoying, the way I see it. Sanctions on Iran which we've always been the a-holes who determine who can buy oil from Iran and so now we're shutting that down and of course what happens? The price of gas goes up! How is this good?! It's not good for me... It's great for Saudi Arabia there they're gonna fit I think Trump even said us Saudi Arabia can fill up the demand yeah Here's another screwball clip. This one here is the... Not emphasize much, but I think at least people should be paying attention to it. Is the Afghan civilians being killed clip? The United Nations reports that Afghan and international forces killed more Afghan civilians in the first three months of this year than Taliban insurgents did That reverses the trend of recent years The report says in all there were 581 civilian deaths

2:25:42 Nearly half of those blamed on government and NATO forces occurred during airstrikes. A very shallow payback for his endorsement by the President of the United States. I don't know, it must have gotten all kinds of lovely coverage but i didn't see it. I'm here on the beautiful Golan Heights This is Bibi Netanyahu standing up on the Golan Heights! I am here on the beautiful Golan Heights All Israelis were deeply moved when President Trump made a stark decision

2:26:25 to recognize Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Therefore, after the Passover holiday I intend to bring to the government a resolution calling for new community on the Golan Heights named after President Donald J Trump." Man! Talk about a reach around...I'm gonna name a whole hamlet after you Donald J Trump Donald J. Trump, Donald J. Trump Judicial Watch? Trumpville! Ha! Trumpville Yes yes I'll write that one down Trumpville yeah sounds good they like it and judicial watch never gets a lot of exposure just a bunch of... Yeah you follow them on Twitter well yeah it's a collection

2:27:17 Well, they're lawyers. I'm pretty sure there's a collection of pissed off right-wing lawyers. There you go. Yes and here is the latest. far on her email misconduct. It's because Barack Obama is implicated in the Clinton email scheme, the FBI just admitted to us that it had defined Clinton emails in Barack Obama's White House specifically the executive office of the president The FBI also confirmed it found up to 49,000 Clinton server emails on the laptop of disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner. These disclosures were forced out of the FBI as a result of court-ordered discovery granted through Judicial Watch into the Clinton email issue

2:28:10 So that means... It's like a dog and bone those guys. Well, what that means is that the executive office of the president during Obama's presidency was very aware that they were emailing Hillary Clinton on her private email server because they were receiving from it. You think he would have done some sort of blanket declassification for everything on our server? in some shape, way or shape or form to get her off the hook completely. I don't know why they didn't do that. Well because she had deleted everything before any...before that could even be a consideration. Yeah maybe.

2:28:52 Then we have follow-up on the Smollett case. He has not even started healing from the initial attack... This interview airing in late March is cited in a federal lawsuit filed in Chicago today, on behalf of brothers Ola and Bola Osundero. Jussie Smollett's attorney Tina Glandian appearing on Good Morning America discussing the open FBI investigation into a hate filled threat letter sent to Smollett at the Fox studios in Chicago. The brothers did come forward and state that they had nothing to do with the letter but it appears that police during a search of their home did seize some magazines with I guess missing pages and a stamp book. There are consequences for the actions that Tina Glandian and Mark Giergos have taken

2:29:36 Today's suit enables us to make sure that those consequences are decided in a court of law, not on the cable news network. Garagos and Glandian fired back today saying in a statement quote while we know this ridiculous lawsuit will soon be dismissed because it lacks any legal footing we look forward to exposing the fraud the Osindaro brothers and their attorneys have committed on the public my city, my police department and my clients all deserve to have their reputations restored. Yeah, well we shall see that's a pretty interesting now. Someone is lying somewhere about something? Yes someone here's the thing that could use a little discussion the census and the Supreme Court clip

2:30:24 Yeah, this thing is back again. It's very interesting. The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday in a case challenging the Trump administration's plans to include a question on citizenship to the 2020 census. Voting rights activists feared the question would deter immigrants from participating in the census leading to a vast undercount in states with large immigrant communities. This could impact everything from the redrawing of congressional maps to the allocation of federal funding. Okay here are a couple things How many illegal aliens take the census seriously or even contribute to it as is, the way it is now? Do you think if they put a citizenship question that would change? I don't think they'll participate. But do they participate now? The Democrat left...the Left in America certainly wants them to participate yes

2:31:22 Yeah, of course they do because they get bigger numbers. That's right. It's redistricting more representatives exactly. Okay so now here is the other question noting my initial premise. The other question is why shouldn't you ask if they're a citizen? I think this is something you need to know. If you don't participate by the way it's against the law not to participate. Correct and by the way checking or not checking citizen doesn't mean your here illegally No, it doesn't mean that. Green card you can be here. This is just another attempt by the Democrats to stuff the ballot box as it were and so you get a... It's like having convicted felons in jail vote I mean this is another thing they're pushing. To be honest about it I don't find that to be as offensive You're kidding me Why? Because somebody got

2:32:22 So let's say we have a country where simple political laws are now all qualify as felony, so everybody in the country is a felon for just about anything. Shoplifting is a felony everything is a felony so now you can't vote anymore? No that's not... Stop! That's not what I'm saying yeah First of all in most states If you come out of jail and you've been convicted, you no longer have your voting right. That's not what this is about I feel if you've done your time full citizen You're back on track. You can vote do all that stuff That's not what it's about while you're incarcerated in jail thats where they want people to vote

2:33:07 They're all saying it. That's got scam written all over it. That's Bernie, it's Kamala Harris, it's Cory Booker... they're all saying this! Well the reason of course is because for one thing if you're in prison and- that's three million votes right there well it's a lot of votes but since you're in prison you gotta do what your told You can have to sit down for lunch they pass out the ballots every single person would vote Yes Yeah, that would be not right. That's not voluntary. Involuntary! I don't know if you've seen these town halls but they're asking should the Boston Marathon bomber be allowed to vote in jail? Bernie Sanders said yes! It's not an argument it's lunacy. There is no argument saying yeah i think we should have a conversation about that okay how about no

2:34:01 Well, your turn. This is another one of Bernie's little things and every time Bernie comes up with something like this, this is his only new idea everybody else jumps on the bandwagon fearful that Bernie is going to get everybody's vote because Bernie's the only guy with any thought and you know anything with any good ideas? Everybody else has just pounded Trump they don't care about any ideas so it's caught on yeah It's not going anywhere I'm sure not worried about it I am surprised to see that we have reports of measles outbreaks in the Netherlands and in Canada. Did you hear about the measles outbreak on the ship? No, no. Where's the ship? Oh, I didn't know! There is a Navy ship that is on quarantine now and it has got a measles outbreak but the kicker... Yeah 100% vaccination rate. Ah, beautiful

2:34:58 Perfect. Well, these people are only 93% protected because they didn't have their booster. Yeah but at 93 it should've been a herd immunity. So that didn't happen either. What I'm surprised about is with all these... I think they're injecting water and going... All these local outbreaks around the world at the same time now I could be I could be cynical and say, well maybe it's just the local advertising companies who are doing their business. The PR companies getting more measles vaccinations out and into the people or why isn't the CDC? Or some maybe the United Nations talking about a global pandemic

2:35:42 Because that's what I see. It's on the cruise ship... Yeah, because they come out with the data on that one and it's going to be a fail Exactly. It's bullcrap But it looks good when you chop it up like that Every country has their little- And they're pushing it everywhere The same message in every country but its all localized They got a new marketing guy at Merck They certainly have something good going on They know what they're doing Yeah, I agree So here is my clip which is the Boy Scouts scandal Which again not getting as much play on the networks I had to look for it.

2:36:32 According to records known as the perversion files, Boy Scout volunteer leaders abused more than 12 thousand victims between 1944 and 2016. Anderson named 130 scout leaders in New York State who had been accused of sexual abuse at Tuesday's news conference noting that state law had recently changed to extend the statute of limitations for childhood sex abuse. Wow! Go and tell Let me say a couple of things. One, I was when I was a kid, I was a Catholic and I was a Boy Scout and the funny thing was is that you always heard when you got to be around at least by 14, you always hear these little rumors about one thing or another like... And it would be about-always be about some priest Yeah! ...and it was just everyone knew it wasn't like a big shock to anybody that some priest was weird

2:37:24 never heard anything ever about the Boy Scouts being abused by, you know. It just never was in the... it wasn't there! I just never heard of this. This is all new and as part of a scheme to slam the Boy Scouts for a lot of different reasons Well how about this? Wait let me finish my COINTEL idea Girl Scouts are behind this. That's what I was just going to say where is the data on the girl scouts girls? No, they're but the girls the problem The girl starts having is they're almost going broke and the girls are joining the boy scouts because he liked the idea of camping Yeah They yeah, they like cooking and camping yes And not tying and that goes well with boys Hmm anyway, I think it's something skammish about it

2:38:12 Yeah, well that's... especially since they've gone back and changed the statute of limitations. We'll have to see what happens. Oh by the way that seems a little ex post facto to me. Yeah? Well apparently that's possible I don't think so i think it's bullshit i think if somebody took that to the supreme court you can start changing the terms of crimes after somebody say committed one 40 years ago and then the statute of limitations wore off 10 years later. You can't say, well there's no statute of limitations anymore? Ultimately. The guy was free! He was literally free after ten years because of the early statute of limitations it was that important they should have had him extended earlier this I don't like this That's how they're gonna get us

2:38:55 So kidding, get podcasting without a license. That's right! But sir there was no licensing back then. Well... Sorry son No no no that's how are they're gonna get us I'm positive or perhaps for identifying memes way ahead of our time everyone knows the... That's true. That's true. I'm hearing this everywhere we are so on top of all the trends here's an ad for NAPA, N-a-p-a auto parts pro in Candanavia. People say that Napa Auto Pro technicians can handle all kinds of jobs suspension brakes mufflers batteries Hey it's true! It's true. Napa Auto Pro. It's True. Come on man it's true we've set the trend with this is true it's true

2:39:51 We have. I'll say we should take credit for that. Yeah, just a little bit because we promoted the ISO it's true yeah people pointed out but we've been pushing it no cuz we love it and as a bonus this is true! It's true! All right you got anything else or should we leave? Let me get some white callers... let's get this out of the way This is a little Democracy Now! 48-second clip on Trump's taxes. Everyone is all preoccupied with his taxes. Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin Tuesday failed to meet a congressionally mandated deadline to turn over President Trump's tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee. It's the second time Mnuchin has refused a congressional order to turnover Trump's tax records. In a statement, Mnuchin said he'd provide a final answer on whether he would comply by May 6th.
