Ottomania

00:00 Well, I see the fat lady's done. So hit it. Adam Curry. John C. DeVora. It's Thursday, February 27th, 2014. Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 595. This is no agenda. Yeah, yeah. And Eric Holder's in the hospital. What's he doing in the hospital? He was feeling faint and had trouble breathing.

00:49 Yeah, it happens. Interesting. I don't know. I don't know if it's interesting. It's breaking news. There's something else about Eric Holder in the news and I can't remember what it was. Oh yeah, yeah. He's a dick? What's that? Besides being a dick. Was that what he was about him in the news? He's a total douche? That was something. I can't remember what it was. Oh well. Hey, I did my dentist thing. Okay, tell all. Oh my goodness. This was, you know, this is my year I've been saving up to fix my teeth and this will be the last time I have to do anything. Your teeth never looked like they were needing fixing. Yeah, they do. But this is it. This is my present, my 50th birthday present to myself. I'm going to make them all pretty and then I don't have to do much until I die. And so the dentist here, we had this plan, we're working on it. The technology of dentistry is pretty, even though the

00:49 Yeah, it happens. Interesting. I don't know. I don't know if it's interesting. It's breaking news. There's something else about Eric Holder in the news and I can't remember what it was. Oh yeah, yeah. He's a dick? What's that? Besides being a dick. Was that what he was about him in the news? He's a total douche? That was something. I can't remember what it was. Oh well. Hey, I did my dentist thing. Okay, tell all. Oh my goodness. This was, you know, this is my year I've been saving up to fix my teeth and this will be the last time I have to do anything. Your teeth never looked like they were needing fixing. Yeah, they do. But this is it. This is my present, my 50th birthday present to myself. I'm going to make them all pretty and then I don't have to do much until I die. And so the dentist here, we had this plan, we're working on it. The technology of dentistry is pretty, even though the

01:46 Dentist dental medicine itself is still kind of medieval the technology is pretty outrageous these days I mean got you know, they could they can print their their own crowns in the office, you know 3d printing stuff made of zirconia, which is indestructible Have you ever had a dental dam put on? No, I don't think so. What is it? It's a dental dam. I kind of liked it actually although when they start strapping a piece of rubber over your mouth and then cutting a hole just for the area they're gonna be working on, you know that there's something real going down. You know this is not your regular visit. Yeah, I don't think I've ever had that. It's like, do you remember when there were vaginal dams for oral sex?

02:34 No, I don't remember that either. Yeah, they never really caught on trust me. I wanted to use those. I'll risk a disease, screw it. Disease you're gonna get. But anyway, go on, never mind. Let's just continue your story. Well, no, it was three hours of Basically surgery. Yeah, it was too long. And at one point I could see... So the assistant by the way, this is why I felt so good about it. So they numb me up and you know it's not good when they put you upright after shooting all this lidocaine in your mouth and then say, oh just wait here for 15 minutes. Now you know that they're waiting for half your head to be anesthetized. And so I'm chatting with the assistant

03:17 And, you know, what did you do before you were doing this, before you got into dentistry? Wait, you asked the question? Yeah. And it didn't sound like... A little bit, no, it did sound a little bit like that. I said, wait, wait, wait, don't tell me professional sports. She said, no. Dancing. I'm like, oh, ballroom? She said, no. You were a stripper? She said, yeah, for 13 years. The dental assistant. Yeah. I'm like, this is going to be a great session. I can't look at you any different now. I just see you make it. I want to make it rain. This is the sexist in you. Yes, it is. She's a woman who's trying to make a normal living and now all you see her as is a stripper. Yes. You should be ashamed of yourself. Yeah. And you admit it on the air. Absolutely. Absolutely.

04:04 Anyway, so just the technology part and I'll shut up about it. So at a certain point I see them both. I think she should have flashed you. Oh man, would that have been awesome? She was really nice. She'd like put her hand on my throat when I was feeding a little tan. She knows. It was fantastic. I mean, I've heard about that. Even if it wasn't true, it made the whole thing great. I was happy. But at a certain point I see both their eyes. are wide and they're looking at each other, I'm like, what's going on? Yeah, we got a little bleeding here that's not stopping. Okay. And then, you know, they're whispering like, yeah, get the probe. Like what? And then she's like, move his back up, move his back up. What? And then she puts a metal plate under my back.

04:49 And then the probe, they're literally electrocuting your gums to search them closed. And it's like electricity is going through my body. Technology. It's terrible. Yeah, anyway, it's all much better. Much better. It sounds like a comedy act. Metal plate. That's the ground. It's the ground, exactly. It's the grounding plate. But then, I don't know, okay. Stick this up his butt and ground his ass. Oh, wow, wow, wow. Anyway, but she's a lesbian. A lot of strippers become lesbians. They're sick of it. That's exactly what she said. She said, yeah, I'm so sick of men. Anyway, and I found that out by saying, hey, you should come to spin class with me. Lots of cute chicks. He went, oh, Rosa won't like it. Oh, gosh. Rosa won't like it. Anyway, big show today. Man, what a lot of stuff happening. A lot of stuff happening.

05:52 Yeah, a lot of stuff, a lot of stuff. So the Crimea thing is going as expected. Yeah, and you called that, and you were the first one to talk about it. And you look at Crimea, it is kind of like a little ball sack appendage hanging off Ukraine down there, isn't it? Yeah, it's bullcrap. It shouldn't be there. What do you mean it shouldn't be there? Well, I mean, yeah, it's Russia. Basically. Have you learned much about, or maybe I should just say, what are you learning? I've learned a few things about About what's what's been going on in the past? Well, I like is this is this bald guy from RT. I'm not I'm sorry not RT, but van cat He's a French guy. He's the one who turned got me and didn't start to look at Crimea. He is a funny-looking guy He is a real foreign correspondent. He's not a pretty boy who hangs out in Moscow and pretends to be someplace else, right?

06:48 And he has a report on what's going on in Crimea. Doug Herbert is the guy, and there's a guy we should, I'm gonna follow. And I have two clips. somewhere. Yeah, I've got Crimea report part one would just be a guess. Yeah, let's go with Crimea report part one. It will catch up based on what the French are saying because he's got a lot of little tidbits and anecdotes which contradict a lot of what everybody else is reporting. Oh good. Doug, you're in the capital of Crimea, that's Simferopol, and this is where we can expect further bloodshed. Well, I won't go so far as to say bloodshed yet, or roar. Let's hope not at least. But you know, when John Kerry says that this is not about a struggle, a battle between East and West, there are quite a few people here who would disagree with that. They think it very much is a struggle. And when you speak of separatist threats these days, and those fears of provinces and territories breaking away from the central power in Kiev, this is exactly the type of place that people are looking at and fear that that could happen.

07:43 I'm standing actually in front of what is the regional Crimean Parliament here in the capital of Crimea, Semperopol. Now this is obviously a region, it is majority Russian speakers. About 60% of the population out of 2 million are Russians. Yes, there's a sizable minority of Ukrainians, there's also Crimean Tatars, but most are Russians. And yesterday we actually saw the Russian flag, there were a lot of reports of the Russian flag being raised above this Parliament building. Now, that wasn't true. It wasn't on the roof of the building itself. This morning, the Ukrainian flag is still very much flying on the roof of this building, but the Russian flag was briefly raised right over the letters that you see behind me on this building. And it was done by obviously some groups that are very upset with what they see happening in Kiev.

08:26 I may note that in just a little, a short while time, they're going to be beginning a session of parliament here where the lawmakers are going to be trying to basically overthrow the current local government here. Why? Because these are people that they see as being too close to the new government in Kiev. They are people that they do not feel protected. protect the Russian interests here and that is the big issue because the Russians I'm speaking about, both Russian speakers but also Russians living here who have Russian passports, they are looking at what's going on and they feel slightly exposed, unprotected and they want Russia actually to come help them. I take a little exception with some of what he's saying here though. No. The, well, about the language. I mean people in Poland speak or at least can get by on Russian, Ukrainian,

09:15 you know it's the it's not so much oh they speak Russian therefore they belong to Russia I'm not we have a lot of feet on the ground that have told us that people just Russian there what's it's also very much like Israel you know and everyone speaks multiple dialects of Arabic and yeah it's not quite I don't think he made the point. He repeated that a lot. He repeated that a lot. I hear that a lot now too. Oh, this is Russian speakers. They don't want to belong to this part. I've been looking at the financials because, you know, the thing you never get in the newspaper or on the TV is, you know, okay, so we hear, oh, the economy is wrecked. What does that mean? What exactly does, what exactly is going on?

10:10 And so I did some research and it looks like there's 66 billion dollars of external debt Ukraine has that will be maturing this year. And that has to, of course, that has to be rolled over. There's no way that's going to be repaid. But the real exposure is the Russian banks, which is why I'm thinking when I heard Lavrov talking, I got a little clip here, of course it's translated because unlike everyone in Ukraine we don't speak Russian. It sounds I'm not so sure that they're against all of this. We confirmed our principal position of non-interference in Ukrainian domestic affairs and we hope that everyone will adhere to similar logic and use the existing contacts with various political forces in Ukraine to calm the situation down but not to seek opportunistic one-sided advantages at a stage when national dialogue is necessary.

11:10 We agree with our Luxembourg partners that it is dangerous and counterproductive to try and impose on Ukraine a choice based on the principle either you are with us or against us. We want to see Ukraine part of the common European family in every sense of the word. There may be something to that. So when they say they're Luxembourg partners, and that's one thing and one thing only, that's banks. That's all that's in Luxembourg's banks. $28 billion... And the cookie factory. The exposure to Russian banks, specifically Gazprom Bank, is $28 billion. They owe $3.5 billion for gas

12:04 that Russia has provided. You know, maybe it's as simple as that Russia really, first, is kind of like a paper tiger. I've had this feeling before that I don't know if they really have the might. Yeah, sure, everyone's got missiles, but this is not a missile issue. But maybe they just want to get whatever they can get. Oh, you're going to put your what? You're going to give a billion dollars right off the bat if you join the EU fine. We'll take that. Oh, you're going to take some IMF loans fine. We'll take that. We'll take that. We'll take whatever we can get. We just want our money back. Well, it would be better. I mean from this perspective.

12:45 Yeah, I don't see that the Russians are running around like chickens with their head cut off over this anyway No, and there's a lot a lot of people say well. They're getting ready. They're gonna invade I'm gonna play the invade thing I part two of the Crimean thing with Doug Herbert again mm-hmm discusses the the supposed activity at the border kind of just yeah, he says as you know as possible, but I play that part. Now Doug, there are reports that near the Black Sea in Crimea there's a growing military Russian presence. Yeah listen, Sevastopol, which is not to be confused with where I am, Semperopol, which is the capital, is the base of the Russian Black Sea fleet and I may note that the Russian ships there are alongside Ukrainian ships as well. They've been based there for decades and Sevastopol has been a real flashpoint of attention as well.

13:39 because it's one of the first places that Russia would look to obviously protect because it has military hardware there. Now, there were lots of reports in the past 24 hours we saw across the blogosphere and Twitter reports of Russian tanks and more Marines being deployed to the region. Now, some of the people here will say don't exaggerate. What you're seeing is one, a lot of the troops and military hardware is also coming back from the Olympic Games in Sochi, which is not far away. It's just on the other side of the Black Sea. So some of that presence is normal and they also point out look Russian military hardware has been present in Sebastopol on that Black Sea port for decades so it's naturally you're gonna see some Russian military hardware that said the Russians they're not about to send in troops but they might be wanting to make their presence felt might be wanting to send a signal to the powers in Kiev you know we're here as well don't forget us

14:34 Since the source is the blogosphere and Twitter, you gotta be a little skeptical about them getting ready to war against... Yeah, no, I think that's what this report said. It's not... it's just business as usual around the area. And, you know, everyone's... it's like if you were... especially if they were redeploying all the bullcrap they had around Sochi, which was lots and lots of people. they're just running them up a railroad you know up near the along the coast and back to where they came from I could see somebody taking a picture of that and saying they're headed to the to the to Ukraine well I would do that if I was a guy with a camera and I took that picture I'm pretty sure that this is all about the money this is I'm well let's get back to this thought now let me what can I can I can I read the brief statement from the White House that came out this morning

15:25 Sure. It's just, it's from, it's not from the, it's from the press secretary, so it's not from the president yet, so it hasn't escalated. But, the United States strongly supports Ukrainian leaders' ongoing work to form an inclusive multi-party government to represent all the people of Ukraine as they prepare for May elections and to restore order, stability, and unity to the country. As the process moves forward, the United States again calls on all parties in Ukraine and in the region to support reconciliation and the country's return to political and economic health, and will work with the international community in building an economic assistance package based on Ukraine's achievements in crafting a unity government. This is about getting the IMF in.

16:11 That's all that this is about. I think we already figured that out. Right, but it's... Let me just go into what I'm thinking. I'm just saying it's before they even say stop killing people, it's A, get your financial house in order. The Russians are owed a bunch of money, especially Gazprom. Yeah, three billion. Now they're not going to let them go bankrupt and the Russians don't want to give, I mean they've offered to give 15 billion somehow in loans and guarantees and other things to the, but it's like these guys, you know, I don't know, it just seemed like if they would take it and everything would be fine, the creepy old guy, the guy that was running the place before could have stayed in power, who knows? Whatever the case, it would be better

16:51 Not to do that, you'd save 15 billion dollars, you get the IMF and the economic hitmen in there, which is what we're talking about here. When the US says, let's make it, we'll make an arrangement. Right. So you make an arrangement and you get that money and then you pay off the Russians that are owed all this money. Right. And you know, and you still got your right on the you know, I unless unless they go to the point of wanting to join NATO or actually becoming a member of the EU, I think the Russians are fine with the payments. And I think part of the payments would mean keeping the gas pipelines in place which run through the Ukraine into Europe and then also now that the only variable here again we go back to what's her name the old spokeshole for the State Department. Newland. Newland. Real name Noodleman. Noodle is really? Yes she changed her name her real name is Noodleman. Her name is Noodleman? Yes Victoria Noodleman.

16:51 Not to do that, you'd save 15 billion dollars, you get the IMF and the economic hitmen in there, which is what we're talking about here. When the US says, let's make it, we'll make an arrangement. Right. So you make an arrangement and you get that money and then you pay off the Russians that are owed all this money. Right. And you know, and you still got your right on the you know, I unless unless they go to the point of wanting to join NATO or actually becoming a member of the EU, I think the Russians are fine with the payments. And I think part of the payments would mean keeping the gas pipelines in place which run through the Ukraine into Europe and then also now that the only variable here again we go back to what's her name the old spokeshole for the State Department. Newland. Newland. Real name Noodleman. Noodle is really? Yes she changed her name her real name is Noodleman. Her name is Noodleman? Yes Victoria Noodleman.

17:50 And she changed it to new. I would too. I have the speech where she was at the US Ukraine Foundation. With the Chevron logo behind her. It's not just Chevron. I went back and looked at the video. It's Chevron on the right side. It's Exxon Mobil on the left side. And this is where she... I'll just play it because you mentioned it where she talks about keys. And by the way, before you play it, so people can keep their ear out. We've gotten three notes so far confirming that her pronunciation of Kiev is correct. It's Kiev, yes. Roman, thank you ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for being here and for your continued support for the U.S.-Ukraine relationship. And thank you for the invitation to speak to you today. Still jet-lagged from my third trip in five weeks to Ukraine.

18:45 my The interesting thing, this is the US Ukraine Foundation. You know me and foundations, John. I love go looking these guys up. Why is he talking at the US Ukraine Foundation? Who's in the US Ukraine Foundation? Any usual suspects? Gee, first why don't you go to usukraine.org and I'll tell you who the major funders are. We gratefully acknowledge our major financial supporters. Baker McKenzie. Baker McKenzie, of course, the Chicago law firm run by the now IMF head French woman. Whatever her name is. Yeah, that one. The Coca-Cola Company. ExxonMobil. Heritage Foundation. Mary Kay Corporation. Gotta bring some makeup to those people. Yeah, those girls, they need it. Raytheon.

19:47 Where are you? System Capital Manager, TNKBP. Ukrainian American Court, there's a whole bunch of other NGOs in here. The Washington Times. Interesting. That's interesting. Chevron, of course, in here. And who else is in here? And there's a lot of individuals. But yeah, it's all the usual subjects. Interestingly, looking at their... Look at this blonde in the red dress. It's a huge elitist outfit. And interestingly, they don't have a lot of money. They got about a million dollars a year. So, you know, it's just keeping it running. Drinking club where they all sit around and... It's a drinking club. But that's where Noodleman comes in to talk. I thought that was interesting that she's there. Did you see...

20:32 It could be a front for something else. Well, yes, it's a front for these companies. Of course it is. Remember that Chevron got a $10 billion fracking exploration contract, and this is only a couple months before all this crap started. So I'm kind of thinking that something may be up with that. Like 10 billion, but maybe by the time the government's changed, maybe we forgot about it, or maybe it's just a billion, or maybe we'll have the IMF pay it off somehow, you know, whatever. We'll pay it directly to them, you don't worry about it. I'm thinking that 10 billion is never going to get paid. Otherwise, why doesn't Chevron immediately, you know, why aren't they on the hook? They're, you know, it's a creditor. What do I have here? I have, oh, I was gonna ask if you saw Kerry.

21:23 Watermelon head carry with the short clip of him, which is part of a quiz. Oh, do we want to I have some clips going to the quiz first? Oh, let's do this is though. This is this is the one that Herbert mentioned. Hold on a quiz. Yeah, I'm like there's a quiz. I have a question to ask you. Okay, you play the Kurt carry clip. Okay, and is there a prize for this quiz? Yeah. Oh, this is not a zero-sum game. It is not a West versus East. It should not be. It is not Russia or the United States or other choices. This is about the people of Ukraine and Ukrainians making their choice about their future. And we want to work with Russia, with other countries, with everybody available to make sure this is peaceful. All right, and the question is? What do you say?

22:16 This is not East versus West. Let's all be peaceful and let's work with everybody in Kumbaya. I'd like to buy the world a Coke. Oh, okay. Here he is saying a very similar thing to Andrea Mitchell. Andrea Mitchell works for CNN, but of course... Can this guy actually ever be succinct? Is it really that difficult? We're actually going to make fun of him to the nth degree with these clips. He is insane. And I'm happy that we're paying attention to him now because he is writing really good comedy for us. Andrea Mitchell is, she's married to Greenspan, the former central banker of the United States. So she's an elitist masquerading as a prostitute and of course that's how she gets these high-level interviews which obviously are quite scripted. And here's Jerry's.

23:08 Here's Jerry's new take. President Putin in a telephone conversation with President Obama just the other day committed to respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine. And I think that's incredibly important. It would be very difficult for me to understand how Russia would reconcile its position on Libya, its position on Syria, its warnings against intervention in another country, and then not respect the sovereignty of Ukraine and the will of the people there. I love how he's just turning it all around.

23:46 We are, you know, we invaded Libya, we've sent terrorists into Syria, now we are the ones that have destabilized Ukraine. And he's turning it around and saying, hey, I can't believe Putin wouldn't like step back. It's unbelievable. So we're hoping that Russia will not see this as sort of a continuation of the Cold War. We don't see it that way. We do not believe this should be an East-West Russia-United States. This is not Rocky IV. Ah, there we go. A popular culture reference. I like his name. I think we're calling him, but now it's Jerry. Secretary of State Jerry and he's gonna finish this up with, of course, the true news. Believe me. Believe me. Believe me. Yes, Jerry. I'll believe you. We don't see it that way.

24:38 We see this as an opportunity for Russia, the United States, and others to strengthen Ukraine, help them in this transition. And there's no reason that they can't look east and west and be involved as a vital cog in the economy of all of us going forward. And that's what our hope is, that there's a transition government that there are reforms put in place and that the IMF becomes involved and that the Ukrainian people have an opportunity. And at the very end it's oh yes and the citizens yeah and then you can come involved after we get the IMF in. But now but now the irony of what he is about to say and I wonder if he if he even understands the irony of the words coming out of his pie hole when he

25:28 talks about Yanukov Yanukov Yanukovitch is lifestyle The key here is to give the people of Ukraine the full space within which to make their decisions about where they want to go. That's what we're trying to do. We're not putting pressure on them, we're not urging something that they haven't themselves expressed as a desire. We are trying to honor their intentions of putting together a democratic, pluralistic government that breaks away from this kleptocracy that existed there and now we're beginning to get some insights on the lifestyle of Mr. Yanukovych with his multi-million dollar dining room and his yachts and the rest of it. Really? Do you not have yachts, Jerry? Do you not have a multi-million dollar dining room somewhere? I mean seriously, Jerry? Really? Really? I mean does he understand the irony of that? He's sitting in a gilded room.

26:30 Doing this interview in the middle of a room with a hardwood floor with a design With a design in the middle of it, please There was this was a very interesting and entertaining interview And you want to hear his bit about the North Korea? She didn't say something to him. Oh, please. Oh No, seriously. How come she didn't say, well, Jerry, this is the kind of sounds like your lifestyle. You got a yacht, you got a bunch of mansions all over the country. You have these huge soirees in your million dollar dining room. How can you point the finger at this guy? But the irony is they're sitting in the State Department in the middle of one of those rooms where the president normally- Yeah, one of those overdone rooms. Yeah, with a compass design, like the New World Order eye in the middle of the floor.

27:26 And it's just them with two chairs and a table and the whole room is echoing. It's actually appalling. It is appalling for him to then, oh we're seeing his yachts. Oh unlike your yachts. Okay your yachts. Okay his yachts not kleptocracy. The kleptocracy is going on right in front of our eyes here. Do you want to hear his moronic statement about North Korea? I love listening to this guy. Now, Andrea Mitchell is going to set him up with a hilarious little ditty, which is, you know, this is all unconfirmed. These are all, of course, about how horrible North Korea is and the horrible things they've done. And while I don't doubt that, of course, there's atrocities going on, again, the irony of what they are accusing

28:11 the North Koreans of is spectacular. Let me ask about North Korea because the UN has exposed for all to see the horrors of those death camps, the prison camps in North Korea. Now these death camps of course are unconfirmed. This is This is from some statements, some interviews, and they showed some satellite picture and said, yeah, this is where they were. The human rights wing of the UN is taking it up in Geneva. A former prison guard testified to the UN that he witnessed years ago dogs attacking five children. Two of these children survived the attack by the dogs and were buried alive.

28:51 How much longer can this go on with China protecting its client North Korea and the UN not recommending that the leaders of North Korea be taken to the world court? Now this is very interesting because again you have to remember that Andrea Mitchell is an elitist. She is a part of the upper echelon For her to say first of all she's World Court not International Criminal Court I don't know if that was an oversight in her part or if that is what they really I don't know what she means by that of course the United States doesn't recognize the International Criminal Court because people like Jerry would be in it So as a journalist she is now saying

29:37 China is protecting their client North Korea. How come we don't take all these people to the world court and lock them up? And prosecute it if they could possibly be captured. If we could capture them. Well I think that... Here come the lies. But what he's about to say is beautiful. Every aspect of that report is a huge human, is a huge service to all of us. And I applaud the report. Great, good work. Good work. Thank you. We applaud the report. We applaud the report. Good work my friends. North Korea is one of the most closed and cruel

30:18 places on earth he's searching for ad for adjectives and he Cruel and places and there's no question about it. No question evil evil that that is taking place there that all of us ought to be deeply and are deeply concerned about concern and we are Continuing to press for action. All right, but let's hear it in the meantime. There is no question. No question that the level of depravity the level of human rights violations, they've conducted executions using 122 millimeter aircraft guns to obliterate people and force people to watch these kinds of executions. Oh I'm sorry, unlike... Hold on a second. Yeah, unlike we're putting people to death and watching them struggle for air for 20 minutes with some progressive injection... No, wait, let's go back to the reality of this.

31:06 They are forcing people to watch it how? They have to be sitting around? Do they bring them into a stadium and then a jet shoots these people? 122 millimeters. If that's the case, why aren't there any photos of this? I don't care how close the society is nowadays. People sneak photos out. This whole thing by the way, I still think harkens back to Abu Ghraib. that prison that we had set the dogs on those guys because this dog meme is just getting on my nerves I wouldn't have said anything unless I shows up again. I agree. Setting the dogs on it, we did that by the way the CIA Hayden and these guys we set the dogs on people meanwhile now we accuse this guy of setting dogs on his uncle which was a lie

31:54 And now we have this new dog story? You know what? You know, John, it's as if it's just crazy. I have yet a third dog story from Samantha Power, the UN ambassador. She is married to Cass Sunstein, who will be discussed later in this program, the shill extraordinaire. So it's three dog anecdotes to one. Here it comes. This is from Syria. We have a new United Nations resolution And even though what she's talking about happened six months, or was reported six months ago, she felt it very important to put this in her statement regarding this resolution. The facts in Syria that gave rise to this long overdue council resolution... By the way, she sounds like my dental assistant. ...defy the imagination.

32:42 As the Secretary General has recently reported, unspeakable abuses are being committed against children, including kidnapping, sexual violence, beatings with whips, electric shocks, and imprisonment without cause. All of that. You're right. All of that Abu Ghraib. Imprisonment, whipping, electric shocks to the genitals. Now, now, let's get to the dogs. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of detainees, including humanitarian workers, journalists, medical personnel and children, are being held in miserable conditions and are subject to torture, rape and other forms of intolerable abuse. And of course, Syrian forces have encircled neighborhoods and willfully used starvation as a weapon of war

33:25 Wait for it. Blocking food deliveries and causing religious leaders in Guta to issue a chilling religious declaration. What could that religious declaration be, John? Are you ready? Given the desperate situation, the religious leaders gave Guta's residents dispensation to eat cats and dogs in order to survive. Cats and dogs. There's your dog story. Cats and dogs. It's all about cats and dogs. You know, this makes so much sense to me because we as a people, mainly because of the mind control of television, have become desensitized to people being in dire situations. So it doesn't work anymore. People don't, it's just a person who gives a crap.

34:20 Oh, it's a dog. It doesn't seem to have much effect anymore. I'm reminded of the, I thought a failed, I thought it was interesting, but the failed attempt during, I guess, was it the Egypt thing or was it the Libyan thing? The Syrian? I don't know who, I think it was Libya where they had Qaddafi, whoever gave the orders, Made the soldiers take via via grass. Oh, yeah, so they could rape have to rape cuz all what am I gonna do with this thing? This was Libya indeed Libya. Yeah, that was part of getting the resolution Pushed through it was like was in 1973 resolution 1973 and 1975 or whatever it was yeah part of it was yeah, they they're handing out Viagra so these guys can rape Really

35:11 Yeah, I know. It's crazy. There's so many things wrong with the idea that even the assumption that someone would believe this tall tale was actually disturbing. I found that whole episode to be quite, it really set me back in terms of my respect for the ability of this country in particular to do proper propagandizing. This is just bull crap. No, we got some good... No, we obviously lost our good people to WPP, Omnicon, they've all gone to work for the private sector because this was so stupid.

35:50 And of course it was revealed to be bull crap, which is that if you're going to do a propaganda gimmick, you don't make something up so weird that it gets rebutted and then you just look like an idiot. Now nobody believes anything you do. I'm surprised no one has pulled the Chernobyl card on Ukraine. Well actually that's interesting. Chernobyl is only 144 kilometers north of Kiev. How come everyone's still alive? You think with, you know, Fukushima in comparison, everyone would be fried and have three heads and stuff. It's only a hundred it's a hour and a half drive. Let's talk about this has been I guess on the list of things to On the other the one list was just has mentioned dogs and especially attacking kids and eating people And then we eating them dog eat dog or we dog eat us mm-hmm And then the other list of no-no's must be a Chernobyl. Yeah, don't talk. It's not a no-no list You can't talk about it

36:46 But when you think about it, in any other case, it would be something, oh, you know, Chernobyl, everyone in a wide range, thousands of kilometers died of cancer and had... I'm just surprised Tom Hartman hasn't got his little Geiger counter. His little Geiger counter. Radiation rates there. Exactly. The only thing I will say as from a strategic standpoint, having the EU in charge of Kiev, which is to the east of the Carpathian Mountains, that is strategically, maybe it doesn't matter anymore, maybe that's, you know, only the days of foot soldiers. But the Carpathian Mountains were kind of a natural buffer, very much like the, you know, what do we have over there to the east of Georgia? The Sierra Nevadas. No.

37:43 Whatever they call them that mountain range over there It's a very natural buffer zone for between the east and west and now the west will technically be on the other side of that Yeah, well where they can't get away. No, that's right. They're trapped. They can't we can't go home. Good point. Good point. They can't go home I think you're right. This is a, this is all behind the scenes here. There's a money thing going on. Yeah, it's... They have a great auction when they sell that guy's house off. It's not even his house. It's the presidential palace. It's not his own house. I don't think. I thought he's the one who decorated it. Oh, well, yeah. So the Obamas decorate the White House. Everyone gets to decorate their own presidential palace. Well, let's sell this. Let's auction. I bet big money.

38:31 It's like, you know, they really blew it with the Qaddafi because, you know, they stole it. They blew it in its place. You can't, you know, this is all those hats he had, those big giant hats. I mean, I can't imagine Sotheby's selling those things for $1,200 to $1,200 a pop. I think at one point, I remember there was a silent auction. It was an Elton John, Billie Jean King silent auction in Los Angeles. MTV days. And I think I won Michael Jackson's fedora hat at the silent auction for two grand. You spent two grand on a hat?

39:10 Where's it now? Where's that valuable hat now? Yeah, I know. It was, uh... So I bid on it, but it wasn't really my money. It was my radio syndicator's money, and we had a contest, and the contest prize was... The hat. Michael Jackson's hat, yeah. That hat probably could be worth something. Yeah. I mean, I think all this stuff is crap. I keep seeing this hat pop up around the... I think there's a lot of hats. And you know, I'm also, I'm always very skeptical of these things. Yeah, his red jacket, I've seen that auctioned off too many times too, from Beat It. I have a Ferrari, red Ferrari cap that's signed by Schumacher. Oh really? Yeah. Well that's gonna be worth a lot of money if he doesn't come out of the coma. If he drops dead, which maybe any minute. Yeah, that's sad.

39:56 Hey, let's move this on on time today, John. I of course would like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C. Dvorak! In the morning to you, Adam. Curry.

In reality we make some we make enough that it that we get corrected right and so and now if we make a train mistake it'll be Sir Kraut brothers came in with $300 from New York City.

48:25 Quick PR mentions, Sir JD in the morning, gents. Quick mention and report from our San Francisco meetup. This was the San Francisco No Agenda 2030 Cyber Force meetup. A smashing success! With a great mix of Knights, supporters, skeptics, and new recruits. Well, we'd like to have more information on that, actually. Where's the photos? He said photos will be forthcoming. I could have gone to that. I wasn't invited. Yes you were! We even mentioned it on the show! It's not the same. And then Jimmy V, although I'm trying to cut back on these mentions but it was too good, is now forwarding to noagendershow.com the domain name George Clooney is a Spy. George Clooney is a Spy. Which I think is a nice domain name.

49:23 It is a good, yeah. He's really should buy it from us. Yeah, he's currently, uh, he's dating the, uh, the WikiLeaks lawyer. Yeah, I saw that. A new WikiLeaks lawyer. I didn't even know who that, I've never even seen this one. She's hot! No, we've seen her. No, no, this was, I have never, never seen this one. No, no, no, no. Well, I think she's the one, she's probably the one because Assange's girlfriend ran off with the other guy. With Snowden, yeah, with Snowden. So he decided to see if he could make her jealous with this hottie. Oh, well, definitely. But then Clooney takes her and runs off with her. That bastard Clooney comes in and takes her. And you know he doesn't even want her. You know, he's gay. He's like, he doesn't really want her. It's just, it's arm candy.

50:05 For the White House. He's got good taste. Yeah, he does have good taste. Alright everybody. Thanks again to our executive producer and associate executive producers. It is highly appreciated. These are real credits unlike the phonies in Hollywood. We will vouch for you if you need anyone to tell these people that these credits really are for producing an actual program of media. And please continue to propagate our formula. Our formula is this. We go out We hit people in the mouth. And you do a remote, you're the remote guy and you throw it back to the studio. Yeah, but are you gonna throw it to me first or I'm just gonna throw it? No, no, you're just finishing a report, throw it to me. And that's it here on location in Austin, Texas. Adam Curry, WNBC. Back to you in the studio, John. Now, at this point I can say, I can say, usually I say... Thank you, Adam, great report. Yeah, well, okay, well never mind.

51:35 What I'm noticing I don't see as many thank yous really yeah I see mostly they either they'd either back announce who it was that that was Adam Curry right yeah Ignore it too. Well. I think the I've seen more ignoring. I But that's on more national scale, the local scale. The national news tends to ignore. Yes, local scale is still, you know, their colleagues... I don't hear the thank yous. That's the reason I had this little meme, because Scott Pelley is constantly thanking the reporter, but he does it in such a way that you think the guy's working for free.

52:14 I have thanks two and thanks three. Is there a thanks one? The thanks one is CBS. Thanks. Oh Got you. Michelle Miller in Manhattan, Michelle. Thanks very much. Thanks very much. Yeah, like so you would throw it back to me and I'd say Adam Curry Thanks very much since we're not paying you anything. You're right. Thank you. I'm gonna give you a hearty. Thanks. Thanks. I don't see the other reporters, I don't see the other anchors doing this. Can I try too? Yeah, play another one. Scott, that could be later this summer. Bob, thanks very much. Today, sign. Thanks very much. No, but no, no. He, we see in this case, he's the commander of the ship.

52:55 You see, and he's the, he doesn't have a co-anchor, like a local news report, it's just him. And so he's kind of the captain and he wants everyone to know that, you know, hey, you're, you're kind of, hey, you know, you're, you're in my ship. Thanks for your report. Doctor, thanks very much. Thanks very much. Thanks very much. Well, that's what I'm going to do with you. Thanks very much. Thanks very much. I'm just going to say the thanks very much. Now, I thought you mentioned the co-anchor thing is interesting too, because that actually harkens back to Huntley and Brinkley. I think they were the first co-anchors because the news in the 50s and 60s, you know, had been, was evolving from radio and radio was, you know, mostly reports from overseas.

53:37 And then when they came to TV, they needed somebody to coordinate all this stuff and they never used two people. And so it was a huge revolution when they had two people that could go back and forth. The only remnant of that is the PBS News Hour and rarely the two people are, now they're kind of on two separate desks and then sometimes they're at the same desk. But the local news has stuck with this old formula where there's two, three, and four people at the desk. Well, you have to have your two anchors, male, female, obviously, then you have to have your sports guy and your weatherman. Right! That's it. That is the formula. And this has been going on for decades. If someone actually came in and changed it up, boy, it would be an upset. I don't think anyone has the guts to change it. Yeah, but it's also necessary because these people make so little money.

54:29 that you need to fire one of them and pay the other three more. No, there's always going to be someone who doesn't feel good that morning, you know, and someone else, then the weather guy can sit in or something. It's a true and tested formula. This stemmed from two guys, Huntley and Brinkley, and you never see two guys on Locals, either a guy and a woman or two women. I don't have it. Where's two women? We get two women a lot. Oh, it's of course. It's a it's got this California Ah that that reminds me Okay, you sent an email this morning, and I'm glad you sent that because otherwise I wouldn't be able to set this This segment up properly. Let me see if I can find this. I'm just going to paraphrase it was about the someone who sent us a thing about the gays in Uganda and

55:18 And you sent a, you don't usually reply to people, certainly not in this length, but I think the crux of what you said was, I'm sick and tired of gay news. Was that kind of what you said? Well, no, I didn't say that. But I said I'm sick and tired of this dissociated gay agenda. agenda, not gay agenda, but gay rights news in Africa and other places that when we did the gay stuff about Russia, we're not gay so we can't, we shouldn't be reporting on the gays. I mean I mentioned, I didn't mention, but I was gonna say that if you, it's really bad when you read a guy writing about technology who knows nothing. He always gets something wrong and it's offensive to read it and I feel the same way about this. Right, right. But in this case people don't realize that when we were

56:07 really dissecting this gay thing going on in Sochi it was because it had a political agenda behind it. Yes. It was an attempt to embarrass the Olympics, embarrass Putin. There was a bunch of crap going around it. It had nothing to do with you know supporting gay marriage or whatever I don't know. Yes. Whatever the case is I don't care about these gay stories in Africa because they don't have any political connection to anything. I think I found it. I found it. I found it. I found it. I gotta take you through the process how I found it. Okay, so you found something that makes it actually relevant. Completely relevant. Okay, now that's fine. Alright. This guy didn't have that. He just had stories about gays. Right.

56:50 And this is a broader, this is not just Africa. And Mickey actually asked me to do the full acronym once again, LGBTQQIAAP. I have to do this because... A-E-I-O-U. Lesbian, gay, bi-curious, bisexual, transgendered, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, allied, and pansexual. That is the full acronym. And if you are not one of those, You are a homophobe. What is the what is the what was the last one again? It's allied no no Pansexual pansexual are people who fall in love with other people regardless of their sex. It's only about them I know don't but please I know Don't even get me started. Okay, so the so the what we witnessed with Russia is

57:44 I believe was a great test balloon and the test balloon was to see if we could get the West, United States and certainly Europe all riled up about LGBTQQI AAP and gay, basically gay rights. This is what it's all about. And I don't believe in gay rights. I believe in everyone's a human and I should have just as many straight rights or heteroflexible rights or whatever. Gay rights is bullshit to me. It's just another thing. I don't like that at all. It's like hate crime. It's a crime. I committed the crime without hate. Okay, we get your opinion. We figured it out. Go on. If I'm boring you already, you can go figure it out for yourself. No, you're not boring me, but you're trying to... You're taking and dissociating what seems like you've got a trend that you want to talk about, but now you're making excuses for yourself. I want to hear about the story. It's important because we always have new listeners and they need to understand where we're coming from.

58:38 So this started for me with an amazing new report only days after we had that douchebag from the Southern Poverty Law Center, POTOC, talking about how so many hate groups ever since the black man in the White House, everyone wants to kill him. And now all of a sudden he's back. Now this is suspicious to me. I'm like, wait a minute. He's back in the news and with a new story that hate groups are down 19%. Down, I tell you. That's just the opposite of what he said. It's down 90%. And so I had to... In one week?

59:16 Well, he needed to be in the news and it was this report that led me to the next report which led me to what's really going on and how the gay, just gay, everyone's just this LGBT, you're all gay. The gay community is being abused. by the Democratic Party and I'm going to show you how this is happening. So first we got to listen to this report and I think this might be with, I forget who it was. Let's first talk about the analysis here that you've seen this reversal after and we've talked in the past it seemed year after year these numbers were ticking up after the election of the first black president. I love how she even says it right there. That's Melissa Harris Perry I think by the way. Who is black?

1:00:04 That's true. They were growing based very largely on antipathy to Obama personally and to what he really represented, which was the demographic change that's going on in this country. The coming, over the next 30 years, loss of a white majority. The growth was absolutely spectacular for four years. Great for business. But I think what really happened in part was when the radical right saw Obama re-elected. Listen very carefully to the words he's saying. The radical right saw Obama re-elected. After so much effort on their part as well as other forces in the political arena to kind of dethrone Obama,

1:00:43 uh... at this point their reaction was one of real deflation of dejection they had done everything they could they did not expect to see a bomb a reelected and yet he was and at the same time of course things like same sex marriage are advancing very rapidly and all of that i think is really dismaying to these groups in your report you identify what do you say is a quote patriot extremist groups how do you describe or define those groups okay so this is now maybe this is starting to shape in your mind what I was hearing you saying oh it's down because the radical right saw the reelection making it the radical right I guess a political politically minded also gays oh they saw the gay thing happening there are there oh we're distraught disheartened disheartened on the decline though

1:01:32 Now, let's, he's going to describe who this is. We've got them on the run. Yes, who are they? The Patriot Groups, that is their own name for themselves. Patriot Groups or Christian Patriot Groups. Christian? What we all used to call militias back in the 1990s. They are a group that, they are a movement really that is unified mainly by a conspiracy theory. The idea that the government is secretly plotting to impose martial law, to take Americans' guns away from them, to throw anyone who resists into concentration camps. that have been built by FEMA secretly and ultimately to force the United States into a kind of socialistic one-world government. Yes, exactly. Okay, so that sounds like a lot of people. By the way, I like the way he puts these together because we have people listening to the news

1:02:23 Christian militia is like a term in and of itself that applies to the Africans. Don't move too fast. I want to get there. You are almost there. But first we have to go to the next gay news story which was of course SB 1062 in Arizona. Another storm in a teacup and I don't even need to discuss what it was about because it's been vetoed, it's not going to happen but the message was Arizona hates gays. What do you do? You gotta bring out the number one left-wing gay guy we know, who everybody loves by the way, and is a part of Hollywood, that can only be one guy. Yes, you may guess. Ronald Reagan Jr. Oh, so close. It wasn't? Nope. George Takai of Halo. Oh no, Ronald Reagan Jr. would have been better. No, no, no. Because Takai, he

1:03:21 is the one that clued me into what's really going on. Here it comes. George Takei joins me here in the studio. This by the way is Ronan, um, Farrow. Ronan Farrow is gay. Hello! Ronan Farrow. I didn't know that. No, I don't know if he's gay, but this is Ronan Farrow, his show. This is his new MSN. He's a pretty boy, by the way. His new MSNBC show. You know Frank Sinatra was his dad by the way, it's so obvious. Give me a break. Ugly Woody Harrelson. Woody... Thank you so much for coming sir. Thank you for this invitation and congratulations on your new show. Thank you so much. I'm a big fan of yours and this was a letter...

1:03:58 Big fan. This holler. Big fan. Big fan. My husband. My husband. and we you know we love Arizona we have many many friends there Brad was born in Phoenix Arizona we have relatives there and a beautiful state and how can the state like that

1:04:34 passed something this ugly. Both houses of the legislature passed it and it's filled with right-wing extremist religious Republicans. There you go, finally! Okay, George, thank you for pointing it out. Christian, religious, right-wing Republicans. Now we go to Africa, and this is what I've been waiting for, and we find the movie, the documentary, which of course I don't even have to tell you who paid for this. It is the usual suspects. They're all in there, all the NGOs. It's called God Loves Uganda. And I'm just going to play a little bit of the trailer and you'll hear what is going on here. Something frightening is happening in Uganda. I foresee a lot of death. The fire has already been set and I think it is important to trace it back.

1:05:34 to where it is coming from. So the fire has been set, it's important to trace it back. Where is this gay hate in Uganda coming from? The International House of Prayer began in 1999. We have about a thousand full-time staff. We are called to be a missionary people. I believe the Lord is calling me to pray for a great missionary force. America's not yet done sending her sons and daughters to bring the gospel to the nations. Most of these young people, it's a time to have an adventure. But the poor African listening to them think that's how things should be. The Bible say, okay, all sex outside of marriage is wrong. So adultery is wrong, fornication is wrong, acts of homosexuality are wrong.

1:06:23 Homosexuality does not benefit the society. Alright, so you can watch all that trailer on your own, but what is being said and what is now all, is going to be all over the news, is that the fundamental Christians, i.e. the crazy Christian Republicans, are responsible for all the gay hate, specifically the International House of Prayer and Scott Lively. And Scott Lively is a Tea Party spokesman, he ran for governor of Massachusetts, he's the guy who's challenging the president on Uganda. They are holding him up as responsible, not just for Africa. He apparently also went to Russia in 2007 and taught everybody that they need to be against gays.

1:07:14 And the whole plan, because believe me no one in the government cares about you if you're gay, the whole plan is for you to hate Republicans more. The gun thing didn't work out that well, the war on women didn't work out that well, but hey, they want to kill gays in Africa because of a Republican. Watch it. I guarantee you. It's the Arizona thing. Oh, it's crazy Christian religious Republicans who hate gays. It's Africa, crazy Christian Republicans who hate gays. And they're in America. The whole thing is against the Republican Party. You are being misused once again. Yeah, that's a good analysis. I like it. I think there's some more going on in the African side of it. And Alec Baldwin... Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.

1:08:04 Alec Baldwin's a part of the part of the scam John. Did you read the essay? That's why it's yes, of course Why he's I'm leaving public life because people think I hate gays. This is this is all part of it He's he is a brilliant guy. By the way, he's brilliant He's always always got some commercial angle and I'm pretty sure that this essay of oh, I love gays. I bet how can I be? think I hate gays is just to point out that you know you can't hate gays or you will have to go away out of public life that's what his essay is about. I like that that's your ten-pointer right there. Thank you and we can just wait for it and again people hate gays you're a Republican will be shunned. No if you're a Republican. That's why no that I think you get I think it traces let's just wrap it around us make a circle out of this the LGBTQT blah blah blah blah

1:09:00 Like you said, either you're one of them or... You're a Republican. You're a Republican homophobe. Yes! You don't want to be in that camp of being a Republican homophobe. And notice, there's no... Well, they've done a great job of it. I mean, they use the guns not because they want to do a track... Turn your speakers up a little. Turn your speakers up a little. You're not hearing me when I'm interjecting. I know maybe it's on purpose. Oh, I'm hearing you but I'm... Okay. I just wanted to say... I just wanted to say there's no R in LGBTQQIAAP. Huh? Coincidence? I think not. I would say that I think you're on to something and it's again but I think it's part of the bigger picture which we already identified which is to make the gun thing was designed to get the women to move over. Get them out of the Republican Party. This is more designed to get you know the I don't know who's gonna... Someone was brilliant when they came up with the strategy. It's a great strategy but I don't know who's going to change sides because of the strategy because I think they've already

1:09:58 moved everybody over. I don't think there's a Republican left. Oh, no, a Republican who... No, no, no. It's all theater of the mind. It's just... No one's gonna know the difference. It's just... It's now... The dye has been cast. The mold has been set. If you're a Republican, you hate gays. Done. That's it. If you're a Republican, you must be a religious nut. This is every... John, everywhere I go in this town, Whenever the term, whenever a Republican comes up, it's always equated, certainly in Texas, with religious nut. Right. Always. Religious gun-toting, women-hating because, you know, we don't want women to have control over their bodies, religious, crazy, gay-hating nut. And a lot of the gays I know here are Republicans, actually. There's a lot of gay Republicans, that's the irony of this, of course, but that can't be discussed.

1:11:00 Yeah, no I think they've done a great job of painting the Republicans as all these negative things and the Republicans have done a piss poor job of countering it. Piss poor. Well, there's almost a no-win situation because what are you going to do? No, some of my best friends are LGBTQIA. You can't do that. That doesn't work. You can't do anything. There's nothing to say. It's done. This is dog eat dog. They have to discredit Look, no one cares about wiretapping NSA. No one gives a crap about that. Gays. We care about our gays here in America. Mickey is laughing her ass off. She's the most homophobic country that she's ever been in. America is now pretending to be the super gay friendliest place on earth. It's like Disneyland for gays. Now this is, this is heresy. All right. Well, I take it back what I noted. My thinking was, is that the Ugandan news was,

1:12:02 And it was presented to us as such, which is just a distraction. But if it's part of a deeper scheme, which is what you're thinking, which I would have to agree with because you have too much evidence, you've pounded me into submission, as it were. No pun intended. I still think it's a useful tool in Uganda because you just say that guy's gay, shoot him and then you get rid of a political opponent. He eated a poopoo. And it's very easy to deal with, but okay. Yeah, no, of course. So we'll keep an eye on this, but I think the Republicans have been, I've never seen anything quite like it, how poorly they've, you know, they bring it back to, you know, economic things and stuff like, they can't even do that now because they dug such a big hole with George Bush. It's, I don't, is there even a headquarters for the Republican Party? Does it even exist anymore? It makes, they might as well just give it up, throw in the towel. Why don't they just give, Obama finishes his

1:12:57 eight years, you should just hand the keys over to Hillary. Why bother wasting money on an election? And this of course is happening now because of the midterm election. We have elections coming up in November. We can't have Republicans, this is a desperate move and they will abuse anybody to keep control of or gain more control, more power. It's a desperate, desperate move and you're just going to see more and more of this. And quite frankly, I'm astonished that the religious community puts up... Do you know how much grief... if we just discuss religion, if we just... not even giving our own opinion, just discussing the options that are out there. Oh my gosh! There we go, taking the Lord's name in vain. The amount of emails I get, you pissed me off when you were talking, you don't think God could make this like... please people, you're fighting the wrong guy.

1:13:49 You need to be fighting the Democrats who are vilifying anyone who believes in God. Crazy Christian, right? Because yeah, they are fighting the wrong guys and they're fighting our show. It's ridiculous. Yeah, it really it's it's disturbing We have this one guy who keeps I haven't heard from him for a while. Um, but he's like a rude Religiously listens to the show and then he never donates never helps doesn't have any positive Right, right, and he sends a note in every about once every 60 days. I I was about to donate, it's always the same. I was about to donate. And then all of a sudden Adam, it's always me by the way. Yeah it is always you. Always me.

1:14:34 Your partner Adam Curry once again took the Lord's name in vain. Which you don't do by the way. And I always apologize. You cuss, I mean you swear and you spit venom. But you don't really use the Lord's name in vain. If I do then I apologize. You'd never do it. Not anymore. That's okay. He's apparently saying anything a-hole, you know, if you use the word Screwball, I don't know what he thinks that this would it's but anyway, so he says this nasty note. It's always anonymous It's always gotten to post Marcus from some, you know, it's from you can't tell where it's from There's no return address or anything. You know, it's just okay fine. Yeah

1:15:16 Every show I guess has one of these guys. But again, I think you're dead on. They are fighting the wrong people. They're wasting... Anyone who writes us about religion... Wasting your time. Or even gayness. They're writing... Gayness? They should be writing to somebody that... Well, that gives a crap about their feelings on this because they're wasting their time. And they're going after the wrong people. Did you see that tweet that I received? It was kind of funny. But just now no and it was yesterday and and this is in real in relation to I guess the guy who was doing this just heard

1:15:52 our thing about Pussy Riot. And of course, you know, Pussy Riot, by the way, they're back. So they were in America. So they got out of jail, went to America, got fired from the band. Then they were on stage with Madonna in New York at Amnesty International. Then two weeks later, amazing, Russia lets them back into the country so they can be arrested again. Okay. And beaten by Cossacks. And beaten by... So, you know, of course we were laughing about the video, the music video they were creating. And then, you know, that, oh, he, boy, he really whipped her hard and then of course nothing happened. And this guy, I won't give you his Twitter name because screw him. He's got riffraff, three followers. Why would you, you know, what I do, I just immediately block those guys. No, because it's funny. Adam Curry is a heartless bastard, a self-congratulatory racist, anti-Semitic, patriarchal and superficial conspiracy idiot. Hashtag no agenda. Well, at least he's good at summarizing. Yeah.

1:16:51 Like wow and that's all because That's all yeah, why was why was that put into one bowl like that because I laughed about pussy right being whipped oh? Yeah, no, it's even more guys crazy. I see where I think was such a fraud so obvious Running it on all the news channels. Yeah, same video. Oh I just want to complete my list we finished house of cards season 2 and Yeah, Mimi finished it too. Let me tell you what she said. I didn't see it. I'm going to see when I feel like it. But can I, I'm going to throw something at you. I want you to tell me if this might be a correct analysis. She says it seems as if the story did end, but she seems that they did a lot of leaps of faith in the middle of it to move the story along faster and faster as if they were actually planning from the get go, from the very origins of the show to do three seasons and do a three season arc. But that, but because Spacey,

1:17:49 I've heard him talk about this. He just looks at his time. A lot of time and money is spent on this that could be better spent. He runs a theater in England, the old Vic. He does a lot of movies. He can make more money doing movies. They said, no, we're doing two. So they rushed the story along. You felt that there should have been a third season and they jammed it into this one. There could easily be a third season. I don't want to spoil anything. There could easily be a third season. I still liked it. I thought it was a great piece of work. I have no idea what his deal is. I think he got a lot of money for this. I think for the 13 hours, if he had done six movies, which would be about 13 hours, I think he would have gotten a lot more money. Well, if it's a hit movie. This is kind of guaranteed.

1:18:39 The only thing, I just want to list the the prostitutes who all contributed as actors in this series. These are the people, of course you couldn't trust them anyway, but they should be stripped of their credentials. Ashley Banfield, Candy Crawley, Major Garrett, Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, all of you are prestitute actor whores. And you are not allowed to, you should be stripped of your journalistic credentials. I think Hannity was in the first series. And Hannity, I'm sorry, Hannity was in there as well, you're right. It just shows. And they're exactly like they are on their new show because they are actors.

1:19:24 That's it. There's nothing more or less to it. Yeah, no, I can't argue with that. And they should be stripped of their credentials. Major Garrett. Really, Major Garrett. How do you name a kid Major? I know, I know. You can imagine if... You really gotta be pretty sure your kid's never going into the military if you name him Major. You know, it can't be Sergeant Major. It can't be Major Major. Sergeant Major, Major Major, General Major. What's your minor, Major? Alright, I'm not gonna argue about that. I think That but I once did the Harkins me back somebody did send the clip We I didn't I didn't chop it up to use it on the show today of Michael Savage bitching about the native advertising that he was presented with yeah, you ended up yeah, you talked about it that ended up on a Hannity on a Hannity and Hannity still

1:20:12 Now he's like he's doing fundraising for the Tea Party Patriots which is one of these groups and and it's like a it's a conflict with his Fox TV show, but he says no it's for the radio show as if there's you know he's not as if there's some difference Yeah, so that Fox doesn't know what to do with this guy because he's completely out of control He's just grabbing as much money as he can because he's get he's just I think he's gonna retire or quit or something I don't or run for office. I have no idea where this guy's headed, but it's he's completely off the rails Yeah, don't we do we still have Sean Hannity calm is that still our website? Yeah? I think so let me just check it

1:20:53 You'd think that they would... SeanHannity.com is forwarding to No Agenda Show. Perfect. Yeah. Good work. You'd think he would have bought it from us by now. Well, we don't own it. Someone else owns it. Well, they bought it from someone. Oh, hold on a second, John. Oh my goodness. This just in. John, we have breaking news. Breaking news. Another dog story. This is Yoda. He's drowsy, a little disoriented, and let's face it, looks a little goofy. His tongue sticks out like he's institutionalized. But he's actually not high, something Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald is seeing more and more of. We're definitely seeing more than one a week. Since January 1st, the clinic says dogs are getting into their owner's supply of pot.

1:21:35 So the kid eating the pot cookie didn't work. Wait, stop. It didn't go over. How does a dog roll a joint in the first place? No, no, no, it's the edibles. Specifically, edibles. What we're seeing is dogs getting into the baked products. The concern here is that my dog is baked. That edibles have a concentration of marijuana meant for controlled human consumption. Okay, hold on a second. It's dogs and gays. I'm telling you, that's it. That's the strategy. That's my strategy. The main, just let's be real here. The main edibles when it comes to, although they do sell lollipops in Amsterdam, but the main edibles insofar as marijuana is concerned has traditionally and I think is still dominated by brownies. Brownies contain chocolate which can kill a dog. So in other words,

1:22:28 It would be the chocolate that was damaging the dog, not the dope. If they were eating brownies. But they show the dog with his tongue hanging out and he's looking all goofy. Yeah, the dog is poisoned by chocolate. I'll tell you something, if a dog was sniffing at my weed, I'd shoot that bitch. Get off of my weed! It's just another way of misusing gays and dogs. It's 4 dogs to 1 now John. 4 dog stories. 4 dog biscuits. 4 DB over 1. It's amazing. I just love that people are no longer affected. It used to be the kids, save the kids.

1:23:17 I mean, that doesn't work anymore. It used to be people like, oh, they're getting killed. No one cares. But dogs? Dogs are in. Yeah. Now, I want you to just know the quiz. I want you to tell me what kind of a clip. I got a couple of clips that just baffle me. This one here is the Boehner clip that says blah blah blah. It's only part of the question, I didn't even play the whole thing. This is Gwen Ifill, the Obama hagiographer. asking, bringing up an issue and then they go to Boehner and a clip of him and then let's just listen to this. Earned incomes over $450,000. House Speaker John Boehner would not say if the party supports the bill and he refused to discuss the details. Blah blah blah blah. That's the best I've ever heard coming out of his mouth.

1:24:13 What was that all about? I don't know. That was on PBS? That was the real story? Yeah, that was the news hour. Ah, geez. You know, there were some really dumb distractions this week. I mean like really, really dumb ones. Here's one. A head lice removal company said the number of cases has taken a big jump in the past year and they believe lice could be spreading among teens when they lean in, touch their heads, and take selfies with their cell phones. Most teens admit that they take at least one selfie each day. Experts say parents need to warn kids that while those pictures might be fun, they could also have some unpleasant consequences. What? Yeah, because... I know, I know, I know.

1:24:52 That is the stupidest story ever. No, no, this is the stupidest story ever. As if learning her phone had been tapped by the NSA was not bad enough, now German Chancellor Angela Merkel has the distinct dishonor of trending on Twitter over what looks like a Hitler mustache and a photo she took while standing next to the Prime Minister of Israel. This was such an interesting story to me. Because of course we have a Jew standing next to a Nazi. Let's just say it. You know, this is what everyone... ha ha ha ha! And the Israeli blogs, they were laughing. It was so hilarious. Whereas really it's shameful. It is shameful that this is humor.

1:25:36 Because we pull the Nazi card for everything and everybody. Nazi this, Assad is a Nazi, this guy's a Nazi, they're all Nazis, they're fucking Nazis. But then when you have a German Chancellor, who by the way is pretty much leading Europe, and it may even be Photoshop, but let's say it's true, and then you get the Jew guy, ha ha ha ha ha, pointing his finger and it looks like a Nazi mustache. This is supposed to be the funniest thing and all media is on it. Shameful. The Jerusalem Post snapped this photo of Merkel with Benjamin Netanyahu as they marked 50 years of diplomacy between their two nations. But the photographer happened to take the picture just as Netanyahu lifted his finger, casting a rather unfortunate shadow across the Chancellor's upper lip. It did not take long for the shot to go viral with some labeling it the most awkward political photo

1:26:25 in history. I'm not gonna argue. I want to say I haven't... Anyone draws a mustache on Obama, a little Hitler mustache? You get arrested. You get thrown in jail. You can't do this. This is horrible. But this is fun. And I was particularly disappointed by the Jewish blogs. The Israeli blogs, I should say. They thought this was so hilarious. Okay, that's fine. But then when something else happens, we got to find hilarious. I'm looking at one of these things here.

1:27:03 This has been boosted, there's no doubt about it. Well, the shadow has definitely been boosted, yes. The shadows of her, you know... Ah, forensic analysis with John C. Dvorak, here we go. The shadows don't make sense any place else except right across her nose, and shadows are never black. Under no circumstances are they black, they're always grayish. And this one is ridiculous. Yeah. So somebody, it's easy to do. You move it, you take one of the channels, it's got this, you know, you just fool around with channels and one of them will, or curves, there's all kinds of settings on Photoshop that would push this thing up. And by the way, if you, if I'm looking at pictures, if you do a Google image search, I'm seeing different versions of this picture. Interesting. If you look at the Reddit,

1:28:01 where the flag is in a different position. There's at least four different versions of this picture. For four different people. Oh yeah, and she's leaning in differently and I'm thinking the shadow is bullshit. I'm with you on this. This makes no sense. Yeah, so we're looking at a Photoshop job. Yeah, but who are we... Was this meant to humiliate Merkel? Yeah. It's disgusting. I think so. This- it's so infantile. This is the level that we've gotten to now in our media. Ha ha ha! They were talking about 50 years of working together. Ha ha ha! It's still Jews and Nazis! Ha ha ha ha! That's what- that's the media for you. Sad.

1:28:59 Yeah, I'm looking at DCM. And then they get, of course, if you really dig out, you have a picture of her with a Heil Hitler salute. Well, see, it's OK, but whenever we laugh about other things, when the president says, Heil everybody, you know, I get, oh, you're putting up a world war, disrespecting the president. He says, Heil everybody. Come on. You can hear it. We know what we know what's going on. So I just found that to be Sad really sad I would like to find the original too bad. I don't see the original version I mean something the guy who originally took the pictures the one who did the original Photoshop job because there's no Evidence of right yeah, they just boosted something and bingo there It is especially this one shot is so well lit from every direction. There's no way yeah, I

1:29:53 that you would have that shadow black black shadow yeah and then yeah okay you got the dumb no it's not good but today how about this one though um so i do want to go back to africa for a moment because of course you know we we are keeping our eye on africa and then how are we going to kick the chinese out and take over anything that they've built and uh do you remember uh well of course you do ibm's watson of course i do okay How did Watson do in America after it basically had won at Jeopardy and then kind of nothing really happened. They didn't really get any big contracts. We knew that they were going to turn Watson into a product. Right, a health care product which really didn't work that well. I don't think they've sold it. They have not sold it to anyone. By the way, in the 80s there were these things called expert systems.

1:30:44 And there was a huge artificial intelligence binge that was around the early 80s. That's the first version of big data. Yeah, kind of. AI. AI. It's going to be artificial intelligence. So they had all these ideas and they all failed. Right. And one of them was a doctor that would diagnose your conditions. That's actually taken its rightful place as WebMD and these other websites. And I guarantee, go there with some symptoms and it always ends up the same. It's like because of legal issues. You go, well, I got this, I got that, I got this, I got that. Oh, well, you should consult your physician because we can't tell you what you've got because we'll be liable and sued and we'll die.

1:31:30 So there's this useless crap and so they Watson that was hoping to do an end-run around it but and maybe a nurse but you still have to have somebody there to... Right so the IBM and you're about to hear a report with IBM Africa. This is actually from Bloomberg but the guy you'll hear talking is from IBM Africa. They found a market. They have found a market for Watson in Africa. It's only going to cost some countries there $100 million. This is a great sale. This guy at IBM Africa, he's on a fast track to sit with the white people in the boardroom. I'm telling you, hang in there, buddy. IBM began rolling out its Watson supercomputer system across Africa this week.

1:32:18 It's called Project Lucy. Project Lucy, by the way, is what it's called. This is Project Lucy. And will take 10 years and 100 million US dollars to implement. The system uses artificial intelligence that can analyze huge amounts of data. Although it hasn't been that successful in the United States, IBM hopes Africa will be different. Now, what do you think the business is that Watson will be in over this 10 year period for hundreds of millions of US dollars? Well, it wouldn't be... Remember, big data and artificial intelligence. I would say it wouldn't be medical because that would be too obvious. It would be a useful... You gotta think scam. Oh, total scam, not just intelligence gathering? No, you gotta just think scam.

1:33:10 Oh, you're gonna have to tell me. With Watson, Africa is going to become the cognitive continent of the world. Africa really has no choice but to embrace cognitive. What? Cognitive. Listen, cognitive. Otherwise, governments will have to look for that extra billions of dollars. What Watson is going to do is to create new markets. It's going to create new markets? Through cognitive computing. Through cognitive computing? IBM says the technology will enable poorer parts of Africa to leapfrog some development stages, much the same way mobile phones took off across the continent in places where landlines were scarce. Phones will also play a huge role in connecting with the Watson system through smartphone apps.

1:33:59 that could potentially be hugely beneficial for education. Okay, so I'll just I'll explain it a little. Through cognitive computing and big data and artificial intelligence, Watson is going to gather all this data and find new markets for the Africans, very much like the mobile phone market. It will find new markets and present these... basically you install Watson in your country and it goes And it spits out a piece of paper that says, you should be in this market. And it'll tell you what you should be in plastics. And they're buying it. Do you know that in Nigeria, 10 to 15 million kids

1:34:45 have never stepped foot in a classroom. What does that mean? It means that we got to think outside of the box. We need new... This is the IBM Africa guy. Cognitive computing, we got to think out of the box. Hey, people are... Hey, Adam. Hey, Adam. These guys down the street, they're beating each other up. Think out of the box. And they're shooting each other. We've got to think outside of the box. Yeah, I'm thinking outside of the box that's anywhere near the shooting. Hello 1980 is calling Africa. We want we want our memes back approaches to content delivery Traditional brick and mortar won't work This guy literally went to that website. Yeah, he went to that website. He said three crash We got to think out of the box brick and mortar won't work need new new approaches to content delivery new approaches to content delivery Traditional brick and mortar won't work think out of the box

1:35:38 While Watson's potential is undeniable, it will take time to implement the system across the continent and time to see if it's viable or just another pipe dream. Another pipe dream. It's another pipe dream. Yeah. Hello Africa. You're getting ripped off. Don't fall for it. That sales guy is... well maybe it works in Africa. We should take our old sales pitches and recycle them in Africa like we do our old computers. Yeah. Where's that PowerPoint I had on brick and mortar? That is literally from 1992. Oh, brick and mortars all over. Yeah, it hasn't quite yet evolved to click and mortar. Oh, wow. Yeah, we could introduce that. Unreal. I'm sorry, Africa. I gotta go to Africa. I really gotta go. We gotta go soon. You'll find it's very entertaining. Well, of course I lived there for a while, but I don't remember much of it. You were a kid. Yeah. Who was saying that, that...

1:36:39 Was that a clip that I had someone was talking about it being the worst ever? Maybe that was the Kerry stuff. Maybe it was Andrea Mitchell She's talking about how was the you know, Syria was the worst ever. No, it's not if you heard of Rwanda. There's so much in them Mad got another clip of a weird thing where a guy said the guy this is a guy it was on this on CCTV the Chinese outlet and And this is one of these guys who's obviously been trained. It's like, oh, that's a great question. You're just kind of retort. But this one here, now I think about it, I think I've heard this before and it's a non sequitur. When somebody asks you a question, you say this and this is the lead into it. The weird clip? Yeah, weird use. Yeah, I got it.

1:37:29 But yet it comes with a balance of trying to grow the economy and facilitate robust growth and manufacturing. So how does one strike that balance? Definitely. That's what Zuckerberg always says. How do you say... I'm going to ask you a question, Adam, but so what did you do last night? Definitely we had an early night and... Why would you say that? I don't know, right? You got to add that. Definitely we had an early night, right? It's the crazy speak. Zuckerberg says definitely a lot, I've noticed him using that. Or maybe a valley thing. You know, before we go into break, there was a... actually it was quite a... let me see if... do I have that here? There was... well crap, hola. Where did I put this now? Well if you don't have that, I got a clip.

1:38:19 There's something screwy going on in Egypt and I'm predicting right here and now that this last episode of this turnover of government is gonna happen again because these people are just ruining the country, whatever's going on. This clip I have which is the farmland issues under weird farmland issues. When you listen to it, essentially what happened since 2011 is that there's a limited number of farmers, this is a background on the whole agricultural scene in Egypt, and the government response to the problem which is people are just moving into the agricultural area and making it so people are going to starve to death.

1:38:57 Here in the Nile Delta, these fields produce around half of Egypt's agricultural crops. But these fertile farmlands are shrinking fast as a building boom is underway. Since the 2011 revolution, the number of homes built illegally on farmland has risen exponentially. Egypt's population has grown by 4 million in the past three years and more people means more houses are needed. Farmers here say around 20% of the delta's arable land has been lost since 2011. People went down and built on the farmland intensively and there was no one to bring them to account. So of course after the revolution there were a lot of complaints regarding the farmland. There is a law prohibiting construction on valuable agricultural land, but the government says it's nigh on impossible to enforce.

1:39:47 It's not possible to be done by law, by force. It has to be a society movement rather than a police movement. Who was that? What? So what he says, this guy, he's one of the, he's the Attorney General or something, he says, ah, yeah, there's a law against it, but there's nothing we can do. Right. Yes, there is. You get a bulldozer. And you bulldoze these places, but no they say no no the law yeah There's a law and but we can't enforce it and there has to be a popular movement You got to take up arms to get these people off these agricultural properties. This is corruption What there's corruption in Egypt? Oh, no, and you remember when the first Egypt thing began It was really and we kind of always forgot about this. We don't bring it up much. It was over the price of wheat and

1:40:41 Yes, yes, yes. And they couldn't get bread, remember? Yeah, they couldn't eat. 80 million people. Couldn't eat, never get pissed off. Yeah, yeah, I do remember. Bill Moyer's show. He's on PBS. This is our national television treasure. They have commercials every 15 minutes. So this is not like some... They pretend to look like they're all good on the up and up. And he had on a guy who wrote an essay. His name is Mike Lofgren. Mike Lofgren was a Republican congressional aide. And let me see, what do we have in his wiki? American, former Republican U.S. Congressional aide, 28 years a congressional staff member. And he wrote for BillMoyers.com an essay titled Anatomy of the Deep State. And like you would expect from PBS, it is essentially bashing the Republican Party that they have made the Congress or the U.S. government inoperable.

1:41:41 which is also kind of by design, but okay, whatever. But what he brings up is how amazing it is that without any movement from Congress we took over Libya, you know, we have terrorists funded by us going into Syria, the president can kill people, including Americans, with drone strikes. So it's an interesting essay and Moyers had him on and had him explain this concept of deep state and I wanted to play two clips from this interview. Talk a little bit more about

1:42:18 the nexus, the connection between the national security state and Wall Street. Because this is a theme that runs through your essay. Do you know that about 30 blocks north of here there is a restaurant that will sell you a truffle for $95,000? This sounds like Bill Gates by the way. Well it sounds like Bill Gates and Charlie Rose actually. If you listen to this it's almost like... Tell me about this sexuality. It's in your DNA. And I've cut out a lot of pauses from this guy by the way. He was a little annoying on that. New York, Christie's sold at auction a painting by Francis Bacon for $142. He's also a little bit of a Berkeley Hummer.

1:43:02 if you notice, a painting. Now, a parallel situation with the national security state, the NSA spent 1.7 billion dollars to build a facility in Utah that will collect one yottabyte of information. This is new for me by the way, the concept of a yottabyte. Have you heard of the Yottabyte? Yeah, I have. I have heard of the Yottabyte. That's as much information as has ever been written in the history of the world. It costs $400 by the time the Pentagon finishes paying contractors to haul one gallon of gasoline into Afghanistan. He's completely the male version of Jill Abramson of the New York Times. I like what he's saying here.

1:43:56 That's a real extravagant amount of money. In both cases of the national security state and the corporate state, they are sucking money out of the economy as our infrastructure collapses. We have a Tinker Toy power grid that goes out every time there's inclement weather. That's a great one by the way, Tinker Toy power grid. tens of millions of people are on food stamps. We incarcerate more people than China, an authoritarian state with four times our population. Does anyone see the disparity between this extravagance for the deep state and the penury that is being forced on the rest of the country? That isn't a natural evolution.

1:44:52 something made it happen. We're having a situation where the deep state is essentially out of control, it's unconstrained. Since 9-11, we have built the equivalent of three pentagons around the DC metropolitan area. holding defense contractors, intelligence contractors and government civilians involved in the military industrial complex. There are over 400,000 contractors, private citizens who have top secret security clearances. I thought that was a nice little

1:45:36 overview of the deep state of the craziness. Yeah. And then he did something which was close to my heart and he showed how Silicon Valley is completely complicit. Talk a little bit about what you call this strange relationship. You know, I gotta do that again. I gotta play those back to back because he and Charlie Rose are just as creepy. Let me see if it tell me about this sexuality. It's in your DNA Talk a little bit about what you call this strange relationship between a Silicon Valley and the government and and this is important because Silicon Valley and

1:46:14 In particular, Apple with this go-to fail gets such a pass from the press. It's disgusting. How it fits into the deep state. Well, the National Security Agency could not do what it does. The CIA could not do what it does without Silicon Valley. Now Silicon Valley, unlike the defense contractors, mostly sells to private individuals and to companies. It's not a big government vendor. However, its services are necessary.

1:46:49 And de facto, they have become a part of the NSA's operations. I'm sure the CEOs of some of these companies try to obscure the fact that this has mostly been voluntary for many years. You mean the surveillance? The surveillance. The gathering of information of unknowing citizens. Absolutely. For commercial purposes, though. Precisely. They've done it themselves and they've assisted the NSA through a FISA court order. For an intelligence... For an intelligence surveillance act.

1:47:26 So this has been going on for quite a while, yet now like Inspector Raynaud, they are shocked, shocked to find out. But I think their main shock is that they're now starting to lose market share in foreign countries. Yeah. Oh, good on him. At least some honesty on that PBS station. Yeah, yeah. Well, the real concern everyone really has though is the money loss. That's all anyone does. Who cares? We'll get users from somewhere else. It's all about users.

1:48:06 Eyeballs. Eyeballs and users. Alright, let's see what we got here. Is the club open again John? You know I forgot about the club and Why the reason I forgot because I got a delay notice from the contractors these guys cannot do anything on time So no club today. Sorry. I think it's gonna be done by

1:48:57 by Friday night. That's what I'm told. So you're telling me the club will be open Sunday? It better be. We're starting to lose money on this club. Yeah, if we don't have any, we need to serve up some table bottle service. We got to get things moving. I know, I got a couple people here today that's supposed to be called up, but they'll be called up on Sunday. Eon Gar- Eon. I say Eon all the time. I would recommend trying Ian.

1:51:39 I would have never thought of getting it as I already own an iPad. When you said you could run through books with ease, not exactly what you said, I thought that's for me. And I'm glad I got it. I prefer reading on the paperwhite to the iPad. I'm reading a lot more now instead of watching Netflix. Yay! Thank you for an excellent education on the news media and its deconstruction to do this twice weekly is truly a marvelous commitment to the show and to your audience Mahalo, so that was worth reading.

Feldhuizen in Groningen. In Groningen where they've been... That's the north of Holland. There's been so much fracking they have earthquakes every day. Is that right? In Holland, yes. They're having earthquakes in Holland? That must be a thrill. Google earthquake north of Holland. It's, you know, it's two or three on the scale every day. The houses are falling apart.

1:53:54 Yeah, you can't, those houses are not built for earthquake country. But those little shakers by the way, they don't, you know, especially in California we don't even notice them, but our houses are specifically built for earthquakes and they're built of wood in a certain construction style that's for earthquakes. So your house will shake, rattle and roll, but those houses are solid. Yeah, it sways a little more is what it does. Yeah, they sway a lot. But those houses in Europe, hard they're hard they're solid things and just shaking them a little bit starts to make them crack. Yeah, so this is a very big problem very very big. Interesting. Scott Olson $66 in San Diego California, Janet Houghton in McMinnville Oregon, Kew Low Town $60, Frederick Leaders in Ontario Oregon

I also wanted to, because you sent this to me, so I figured that that means you wanted me to mention it. This is from Nicholas, who gave us double nickels on the dime. Yeah, I sent it to you. Yeah, it was fun to read. I think it's readable. It's been almost two years since my first confession, so here are my dues, good sirs.

1:57:29 I feel no agendas permanently change me and my outlook on almost everything. Might be dangerous, but I don't think this is a bad thing at all. Over these two years, I have seen some no agenda theories play out almost to their completion. The swatchy anti-gay propaganda, for one, how it controls and manipulates people. As someone who is gay, I have seen this firsthand. The six-week cycle is also uncanny. Although you don't cover Canada much, there have been things that are happening here recently. Anyway, that before no agenda I wouldn't question or even pay attention to. It's one thing to suspect or even read about it, but to see it happen before your eyes is something else entirely. It's almost surreal. I almost don't want to acknowledge it, but as a rational person I see no other alternative. And so he thanks us for our courage and our karma.

1:58:15 This is an educational comedy show. Yes. We give you the tools you need to get through without getting buffaloed and ending up in the freight train to Auschwitz. We give you the tools to make people laugh at work or at church or at temple. Or get mad at you. Yeah. Which they do. So that's our group today. I want to remind everyone again, Dvorak.org slash NA. We do have a show coming up on Sunday and Sundays have been light. Would appreciate some producers. Yes, we need to remind people how this works. So if you're an associate or executive associate producer, go to Dvorak.org slash NA to find out what that entails exactly. But you get all of your notes read on the air all the time. We read everything, of course. We don't always have just the time in the show.

1:59:05 to read everything above $50, but everything above $50 is what we present. If you are a knight, a dame, if you're a baron, you need to add your title to your donation for a multitude of reasons, which includes checks, multiple email addresses, PayPal, all kinds of things. It's very hard for us to keep track of your title. So if you didn't hear us address you as Sir or Dame, that's probably because you didn't put it in your donation note. And it's not out of disrespect. This is a very small operation. Let me say, it's me, it's John, and Eric, and he's selling bags.

1:59:46 So help us out. We mean no disrespect. No, they're great bags. No, we mean no disrespect, but you really have to help us out. The more people we have at the roundtable, I know, whoa, you didn't call me sir. I'm sorry, I was reading legislation. Alright, well it's only a minority, that bitch. Yeah, I know, but it's important because we care about what everyone is doing. Yes, we do. Alright, so uh... We're a caring, caring duo. We are the caring duo. Thank you very much for your support of the show.

2:00:28 It's your birthday, birthday. I know I just can't wait. It's your birthday, yeah. And then we do indeed have one knighting today. This is our trained guy who will tase us if we do something wrong. And I'm gonna ask you, because last time you got pissed, do you have your sword? Well, yeah, because last time you used two swords and you did me out. Is that your sword that I just heard? Yeah, what do you think? I don't know. Michael Allen, please step forward, sir. You have supported the best podcast in the university, amount of $1,000 or more. Today you are an instant knight.

Go to noagenonation.com slash rings and pick up, well, give all your information to Eric and the rest of you can go to noageneration.com and pick up a bag. Some of those proceeds come to us. Some. They're good bags. It's in the bag. It's in the bag, yes. I have three clips I'd like to play. Three! It's a three-peat.

2:02:15 Well, they're all short. Okay. One is a particularly short, but the first one is this bilateral security agreement clip, which is bilateral security agreement. This is from France Van Kat and they describe at least I clipped it as short as I can. What's really what this security agreements about, we don't talk much about it, but essentially it is to make sure that when we're in Afghanistan, and by the way, they're not going to sign off on this thing. They're hoping now we're hoping as the Americans were hoping that the next guy after Karzai's out gets in and he'll sign off on it. But it's essentially to turn us into the British redcoats of the 1700s. Or all US forces could pull out, leaving Afghan soldiers on their own.

2:02:55 Washington would rather keep troops on the ground, but only if Afghanistan signs the bilateral security agreement. According to the deal, if American troops stay in Afghanistan, local courts would not prosecute them. The deal says that US troops could lead anti-terrorist raids in Afghan homes once they've informed Afghan authorities. So essentially busting into places and all the rest and we were completely not liable for anything. So we shoot people, nobody cares. Do you know that Karzai had Wang Yi visit? Yeah, the Chinas are moving into Afghanistan. Yeah, well they've been sitting there, they've been on a perch just waiting. They've been smart about it. They do exactly the opposite of what we do to them in Africa. Yeah, well that's in fact that's the model the Chinese have adopted. When I first heard about years ago, when I first heard about Huawei, the big Chinese server, not server, router company that competes with Cisco. Their approach according to a guy that worked there

2:03:58 was they would follow around like an Ericsson guy, like in Europe this is what they did. And they do the same thing here but they didn't get, you know, we kicked them out so they don't do it as much. But they would follow Ericsson guys who would come with these big switches for phone companies, whatever, they're multi, multi-million dollar systems. And they would just wait till the Ericsson guys leave and they'd go in and the deal was whatever Ericsson bid were 15% lower. And that was the model and they've done very well for themselves. Anyways, nobody's talking about the BSA in any great detail about how they, you know, essentially can do whatever they want while they're over there. But Pisaki had a little mention here. It says, Pisaki on BSA's this clip. And she never really says much about anything except we're going to get this done somehow. But I got something else out of it. And Pisaki is the spokeshole for the State Department. Right.

2:04:51 It's not going to leave this in the hands of President Karzai to sign and that there is the option of having a successor sign. So that is certainly a new piece of information that we have not indicated in the past. In addition, in terms of consequences, what we have indicated is that the later it goes, the harder it is, but also to plan and also the smaller it will be. Alright, so I'm thinking I finally decided I'm gonna start deconstructing her stuff a little more this next clip is the deconstruction She has nothing but sexual innuendo in a cute little way about her What's his hands doing and so I pulled this out which right right word for word from the other thing tell me there's not innuendo in this the later it goes the harder it is but also the smaller it will be that's what she said

2:05:48 Ayo. Yeah, no. Well just look at her. She's a sex bot. I think all those women there, including Noodleman, I think they're all sexual deviants. Well the other one that comes in once in a while, the backup girl, Harf. Yeah, the band camp girl. Yeah, the band camp girl. It's obviously up to something. Yeah. Yeah, I'm on board with this thesis. Yeah, I think the whole State Department. There could be a bunch of sex maniacs. There was, um, I got two longer things. This one has to do with Sandy Hook, which of course, you know, there's a lot going on and every single time something pops up about Sandy Hook, we are always blown away by how nutty it is. You know, it means they tore down the school. There's, you know, everything is wrong about this whole thing.

2:06:43 You're about to hear a clip from the Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission, and this is literally taken from one of those committee meetings that's on like public access cable. Can I stop you for a second? I want to mention to the listeners out there that we are the only podcast that I know of or broadcaster of any sort that actually played the 911 tapes. Right. Nobody would play these tapes. The tapes had absolutely nothing on them and it was by playing them that you realize that this is all was all something was wrong with this picture because everyone wouldn't play the tapes.

2:07:22 Why? Anyway, go on. So, first thing I'll do is I'll read a little bit from the Hartford Courant. A state task force that spent months studying how to best balance victims' privacy and the public's right to know, on Friday proposed new limits on what records must be disclosed to the public under Connecticut's Freedom of Information Act. And in a 15-2 vote Friday, the panel approved four recommendations, the most significant of which would restrict public access to crime scene media, Including recordings of 911 calls, dispatch tapes and photos or videos depicting homicide victims. Members of the public could view the media and obtain transcripts of recordings but would be prevented from obtaining a copy. Now...

2:08:06 What is interesting, at the closing of this report, the two members of the panel who voted against the report were Colleen Murphy, Executive Director of the Freedom of Information Commission, and the veteran newspaper editor James Smith, and they're all on this panel. And the whole thing is about 15 minutes. I only clipped about a minute 15 from it. It's the most pertinent because what happened is, and I think I have to tell you up front in case you can't really follow along too well because the audio is a little crappy, They are ready to vote on this document and this woman, Colleen, says, yeah, hold on a second, but we never discussed or voted on these four points which basically say if anyone within the legislature, within Connecticut,

2:08:50 does copy something, well she doesn't say Sandy Hook, but does copy anything under Freedom of Information Act that is now, is not allowed, it is a Class D felony and you will go to jail for five years. She said we never discussed this. And this was slipped in and she catches it and they wind up railroading it through obviously. I frankly don't recall any discussion on any of those items. There were some documents, but no one here in this room discussed any of those items that Colleen is referencing. We did not, for example, discuss that it would be a crime to copy a document. It was never discussed. I think it was.

2:09:43 I don't know, I don't recall specifically voting individually on each of these eight. I think we voted overall, but I certainly remember conversation about each of those items. Let's take a look at the minutes. Barbara, can you look at the minutes from that meeting? I would argue that, well I would state that that's precisely my issue, the discussion about a Class D felony. was in the legislative language that was proposed, not in the concepts that were voted upon. If that had been discussed, I certainly would have had a lot to say about whether a Class D felony for that type of violation of law would be appropriate. So anyway, that's the heart of my objection. I think that in Recommendation 2, we've gone a little bit

2:10:41 a little bit, quite a bit further from the concepts that were voted upon. So this is the executive director who's saying this was not in the minutes, you slipped this in, we never voted on it, and if you watch the whole video they go on to say okay well you can make an amendment and she says I want to amend that these be taken out and of course everyone else is like no we're voting on it it's all good. So effectively anything Sandy Hook related is locked up, is done. Can't get it anymore under penalty of five years in jail if anyone inside the Connecticut System were to copy that and give it to anybody. Well, I think Sandy Hook has been so debunked by So many people at so many levels. I mean many of these deconstructions go way beyond what we did that It's academic at this point. And now I mean, yeah, there won't be that book. I guess this is probably just to stop the book writer Yeah

2:11:42 From you know, because there's always at some, you know, five years down the road, there's some book that blows the lid off the whole thing and that's not going to happen. It's just going to be forgotten completely swept under the carpet. So there was a big, big argument in New York, New York State this week. But wait a minute, by the way, back to the Sandy Hook thing. But what it did do It set up Connecticut, I think, to become a nexus for these sorts of things because now you're... anybody that dreams up some conspiracy, you are good to go in Connecticut. Yes, Connecticut is your state, exactly. So we'll see more action in Connecticut. You want to kill some kids? Connecticut's your state. Yes, over the next two years as we do this show, we're going to spot Connecticut at least once or twice more. Would you please put that in the book?

2:12:30 Yes, I think that's book worthy and I think they should change their license plate to Connecticut. Anything goes when you want to kill someone state. Will that fit on the license plate? Big argument, big fracas in New York. Very interesting because for once it's not right wing crazy religious nut job gay hatin' Republicans but actually left wing school system officials who are very upset about Common Core. We haven't really discussed much about Common Core recently. That's why you're going to get an extra double dose today. And this is in particular the... what's her name? The woman in charge of the New York Public Schools in upstate New York does not want the Common Core data to be given to the non-profit corporation in Bloom.

2:13:28 Now, InBloom is a... InBloom? InBloom. Yeah, we've discussed InBloom. InBloom is the Bill & Melinda Gates funded non-profit which will have, if you go to InBloom.org, InBloom.com... Org. Org, yeah. You'll see what they're basically planning on doing. And the whole idea is the data goes in and then third-party application developers can get a seal of approval and can then, you know, slice and dice the data and give this fantastic information about your children to, well, of course, the idea is to give it to

2:14:08 other educators and the parents but we know kind of what's going to happen. Well also it's got to, some of it's got to go to the, to the oversight committee and the steering committee of the CCA. Of course. the Corrections Corporation of America, which is also partially owned by Gates. Now here's the disturbing thing about In Bloom. In Bloom, they have a, of course, they're a non-profit, so they have to file a Form 990. I love looking at Form 990s. Anyone can do this. And I pulled their 2012 990. 2013 is not due yet. In 2012, they had zero income. So this is basically a startup

2:14:49 It's a new company, we have no financial data, nothing has been officially released. They have released nothing on their website other than that they're funded by Bill and Melinda Gates. And they also don't show up for the conversation. Instead, when NPR, and this is where I was alerted to this, wanted to have a debate, they got a spokeshole from the Data Quality Campaign, which you can find at dataqualitycampaign.org. Another non-profit funded by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. And a professional lobbyist type outfit. Their entire reason for existence is to protect In Bloom. And if you look at the board of directors, which is always my favorite thing to do,

2:15:43 We have Rob McKenna, he's the chairman. He's from a law firm, Orrick, Harrington and Sutcliffe. We have John Bailey, he's from Dutco Worldwide, a huge lobbying firm. Lead Edge Capital, Paul D. Bell. I mean, it's just all elitist crap holes who are on this, another Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation non-profit. So it's just layers and layers and layers of people protecting this scam. I wanted to play, although it's a little long, I wanted to play a bit of this debate between the lady from the schools who really doesn't want this to happen and the data quality campaign woman.

2:16:26 So you can get an understanding of the argument and then we're going to hear an educator talk about really, and this was mind-blowing when I saw this video of hers, about what is really going on with this Common Core and the data and the computerized testing. Amy Rogstad-Gadara, I imagine you disagree with some of the sentiments there and I want you to make the case for us, first of all, of why we need to be collecting and sharing the data of kids. And by the way, Amy, what's her name? Gadakstat Gershnadi. If you look at the dataqualitycampaign.org, you'll see there's an actual menu item which is Amy's Desk, the source for the latest in education policy and data from Executive Director Amy Rogstadt-Guerdera.

2:17:15 So it's Amy's desk. Sure. So I'm an unabashed advocate and we all are at the data quality campaign for changing the use of data in education. We believe that data is the great equalizer. And you know, the truth is we've always had data in education, but we've never used it. to really change conversations, change actions, and to change outcomes. And we're now on the cusp, and it's starting to happen around the country, where we're starting to see where educators and families are having access to quality, actionable information. And as a result, it's changing the teaching and learning process. It's providing greater transparency about what's going on. It allows us to have richer conversations about accountability.

2:17:54 Whenever someone says a richer conversation about anything, the hair on the back of my neck stands up. This is complete double-speak gobbledygook bullshit. And most importantly, it's empowering individuals to make great decisions for their own kids. And I just want to reinforce, this is about more than anything empowering parents with actionable information about their own kids. Actionable! Now you as a homeschooling parent, John, how do you view the idea of, I'm quoting from their website, prioritizing student data privacy in the cloud and beyond?

2:18:31 Does that sound good to you? Does this sound like this will be something good that the child will actually benefit from this? Never ever had before. Well give me an example of that, of how exactly this data could be used to help parents and their kids. Okay, I'm all ears. John, you've taught your children at home, they've all gone on to be Ivy Leaguers. Or at least... Yeah, so I... Yeah, you do that by letting them read the classics, teaching them from neutral sources, letting them think for themselves. Did you give them a Kindle Paperwhite and then track their progress, how fast they were reading and what words? Who cares? Why would anybody care about that? If you want somebody to finish a book... Were you not interested in actionable... Did you not want actionable data to have a deeper, richer conversation?

2:19:19 I have no desire to do anything actually. Here we go. Well, number one, you know, I'm a mom and the number one question I want to ask my teachers and I ask them constantly, you know, in my teacher conferences, but every time I have a chance to talk to them, how is my kid doing? Is my kid on track to be ready for this knowledge economy that they're going to be going out into? And how do I know? And rather than in the past where teachers would say, trust us, we're doing the right thing, everything's going to be okay. I actually really enjoyed that process of interacting with the teacher and the teacher never said, trust us. I've never heard a teacher say, trust us, everything's fine, nothing to see here. No, quite the opposite. Mr. Curry, your kid's a little distracted. It's a little annoying sometimes, but I like the spunk.

2:20:05 You know, she needs a little work on this or that, you know, maybe you can help. I've never heard trust us. They now can provide me data showing how's my kid doing, not just compared to other kids in her classroom, but also in the school. But also we're now able to get this actionable information that shows... Actionable. Because we do have this ability to look and know that if a kid is scoring at this point in third grade, you know, for a real data point, we know if kids aren't reading on grade level by third grade, the chances of them graduating from high school are diminishing. And so that's real data that we can tell parents that we need to get your kid reading on grade level by third grade or we know that the results aren't going to be great. That is the stupidest argument I've ever heard. Your kid might not graduate because he's not at a third grade reading level and we can't figure this out without actionable data in the cloud? Lady? No.

2:20:55 And while that may be scary as you know as a superintendent just talked about being profiling, we think it's much more empowering when you start thinking about that power of data. Empowering? You say these same buzzwords, empowering, all this crap from Silicon Valley over and over? Yes, and that's, I'm glad you're picking up on it. Put into the hands of families so that they know how they can be the best advocates for their child and when teachers are given that information and given the training to know how to use it, it empowers them to not just teach the whole class in a cohort but to really focus the teaching process on individual needs and to make sure that every kid is getting what they need and are ready to be prepared and to live up to their potential.

2:21:35 All right. Ready to be prepared. To live up to their potential. That's kind of a redundant comment. Ready to be prepared or are you just ready? And it's ready to be prepared to live up to your potential. Ready to be prepared to live up to, which means, what does that mean? It means nothing. No. And so that goes on for hours. Now, what you are about to hear is the other, and this is really, this was mind boggling. This is Peg Luxick. And she's a troublemaker. I'll be the first to... I got to point that out right off the bat. Politician, Constitution Party, Pennsylvania, troublemaker. Constitution Party. She's a troublemaker. That's a troublemaker. She's a troublemaker. However... What's your name again? Peg Luxick. Lima Uniform Kilo, Sierra India Kilo. Don't spend any time on her. Listen to what she's saying. She says this whole Common Core thing

2:20:55 And while that may be scary as you know as a superintendent just talked about being profiling, we think it's much more empowering when you start thinking about that power of data. Empowering? You say these same buzzwords, empowering, all this crap from Silicon Valley over and over? Yes, and that's, I'm glad you're picking up on it.

However... What's your name again? Peg Luxick. Lima Uniform Kilo, Sierra India Kilo. Don't spend any time on her. Listen to what she's saying. She says this whole Common Core thing

2:22:30 with the data in the cloud is about computer adaptive testing. Are you familiar with the concept? No, but I can make sense of it by just the name of it. Okay, so to set this up, remember your kid is doing stuff, the test, all the educational materials, but also the testing is coming from the cloud into the kid's iPad or tablet or laptop or whatever it is and the kid is answering so it's completely two-way interactive. However, As she's about to point out, this has been going on for a long time with pencil and paper, the idea that the test is not just a test for the topic at hand, i.e. comprehensive reading, but it can also change on the fly so that it turns into an actual slave training mechanism.

2:23:22 Computer adaptive testing, I give you Peg Luxik. The problem isn't that it's self-paced. The problem is that the test is open to manipulation. So if I want it to look like the students are doing poorly, I can adapt it to make the test harder. If I want it to look like the students are doing well, it can be adapted to make the test easier. And you as parents or taxpayers or policy setters will never know which way the test was adapted. because it's an internal mechanism. So it is not a valid assessment. And that is the fundamental problem with it, is that the test is being manipulated as it's being taken. In other cases, when you're not in math but you're in some of the more history or other areas where it's more philosophy driven, you have to comply before you can move on. So the child is put in a position of you must agree. I don't agree with the global warming.

2:24:17 No, but you have to because the test won't let you move on unless you comply. So when the test makers can make the test adaptive, we can make it easier, we can make it harder, or we can make it so that we force compliance. You can't take the next step unless you comply with whatever it is that's being taught in or presented in the test. So you're seeing where this is going, right? Yeah, and you know what would be funny? Not that any of this is funny, but I think the test should go a little further than that. So when you answer like, you know, is global warming good? No, I think it's bullcrap. The test should come back with a response, you don't say. Oh, John, have you already heard the clip? No. So even if you don't agree with it, you're going to have to write it. You're going to have to say so. Perhaps an example that is older will help you.

2:25:05 I have a long history in this movement. This is not the first time the federal government has attempted to take over education. So in the 1990s, that iteration was called outcome-based education and then school to work. You remember that, right? Outcome-based education? That's probably what got you to homeschool in the first place. And I was one of the leading national opponents then too. And I got involved because a woman showed me a test. It was given in Pennsylvania. It was called the Educational Quality Assessment. It was originally given back in the 70s and early 80s. The test said citizenship, so parents thought they were testing George Washington and the Declaration of Independence. But when you looked at the internal documents of the test, which I did, it said we're not testing objective knowledge. We are testing and scoring for the child's threshold for behavior change without protest.

2:26:03 I'm loving this. And this really happened. This was real. And that was in the test. So the sample question said there's a group called the Midnight Marauders and they went out at midnight and did vandalism. I, the child, would join the group if my best friend was in the group. My mother wouldn't find out. There was no place to say I won't join the group. They had to say under what conditions they would join the group. Another sample question was, your parents just found out that they're moving to, you know, outer Mongolia. How much time would you spend on each of the following? Being upset, crying, arguing. So how adaptable are you to change? Based on the results of the EQA, districts were given curriculum packets

2:26:51 to modify their curriculum so that the children would do better on the EQA the next time. So they were using the test to get a threshold for behavior and then adapting. Now that was a paper and pencil test, so to say it was easy to track is a gross overstatement of the level of difficulty that it was to get the information. But when it... but compared to a computer adaptive test, much easier. So, the way I... Call it. Play it. Oh, really? Oh, that's very kind of you. Um, oh wow. Okay. I still have a minute left of her. It's okay when she did the thing about the, what is it, behavior change without protest. Yeah. That's when you won. And what she is saying is that with Common Core Scholastic Standards, CCSS, the tests and the questions will change based upon each answer to bring you into compliance with whatever the messaging is.

2:27:56 And she's saying, look, it's one thing if it's paper and a pencil, but now when it's on the computer, this shit can change just immediately and there's no oversight. None! When we were fighting outcome-based education, I traveled, I was in every state but Hawaii. And in one state I was reading the assessments and it was a reading assessment. And it was a story about a child who found a wallet and there was money in the wallet and what do you do with the money? I'm sitting in the Department of Education reading it in front of the undersecretary because they didn't want me to make a copy and take it anywhere, which was fine. And the question was to the child, if you found a wallet with money in it, would you take it? Do you read better if you say yes or do you read better if you say no? Or were they testing a child's honesty on a state assessment with their name on it that was computerized? That's exactly it.

2:28:52 You know the parents need to protest, but parents need to protest this crap. Oh yeah, they should. This is horrible. We've said this before. We should probably focus on it a little more with this kind of, with this woman being a good, good person. Anyway, I was just gonna get to which is the kids, this is like what you get in a, in a, I think idealistic communist dictatorship of some sort where you're trying to train the slaves like you said but kids aren't really that dumb they will actually amongst themselves unless you keep them separated like you would in a prison they will talk about this and they'll say what are you gonna do I don't know that they put me on this bad thing what did you I would my test did this what is your test it well my test did this what did you answer why I answered this and then they'll they'll out think they'll they'll they'll scam the test

2:29:48 Eventually yeah, well and so it won't work this won't where I mean, but this is horrible But it won't work as kids aren't this stupid. Oh, but it's skip logic It is because you're getting a question, you're answering it, the answer is the next question changes based upon that answer. A couple of rounds of this you're going to start out thinking the test. You're gonna say well what if I said that? What if I did? They're trying to trick me. You know once you get a clue... When you're seven or eight? Is this what you do? Or how about the big push from our president specifically for pre-k?

2:30:25 We need to send the kids to the slave training before kindergarten. By the way, kindergarten. Child garden. Where you grow them, you plant them, you water them with propaganda. Right, and they're pretty... client till they get to about the fourth grade. Fifth grade you start to fall apart a little bit, you start to think for yourself. Sixth grade for sure. Yeah but- Seventh grade and then you're done and now you're scheming against the system. Yeah but that- Do you think- We're not close to- No there's too many people- We're not growing kids that way anymore. No no no, I'm not

2:31:02 No. Where, okay, where are they getting the defiant messaging from? How do they even know? How do they even know how to do this? How to go against the man? We have kids on this show. Well thank good, so we are, we are essentially... We're it. It's Bill and Melinda Gates or us. That's kind of what you're telling me. It's about right. All right, all right, good! Well I'm glad to be on the front line there. Screw those guys. It's corrupting our children. This is very bad. This woman has got to be praised. Yeah, you want to hear the last 30 seconds of her? Yeah, I love this. But because it was paper and pencil, I could find it. What if I put that in a computer test? And if they don't give the right answer, I can change the computer to move them in the next direction. So computer adaptive testing is really dangerous for our children because the state can manipulate achievement data by making the test harder if they want or easier if they want. And you won't know. You'll just get proficient results.

2:31:58 Or they can use the test to test for and then influence what your child thinks and how your child thinks about a variety of topics. And again, the parents thought that was a reading test. They didn't know that it was a, that honesty was being tested on a paper and pencil state assessment with their child's name on it. That's now part of their record. Yeah. Permanently. Wait, wait, here's what she doesn't get to, which I think is part of this. and she should get to this. Maybe she does in some other talk. This isn't about, at the end of the day, figuring out how the kid thinks isn't about the kid anymore. It's about the parents. Oh, I know, totally. And the parents are going to get a knock at the door because your child doesn't seem so gay-friendly as it should be.

2:32:42 Any number of things. The kid doesn't think this way. Where does your child get this idea? Where is it coming from? Why is your child like, what is wrong with your child? This child doesn't dream this stuff up by itself. This child gets this information and feels this way because of some other source. That must be you. And then you start looking around the house, see what kind of books they got. This is exactly what my ex-wife always says. Whenever my daughter does something weird, she's like, she gets that from you. Well, now just imagine the government being that way. Exactly. She gets that from you, and you get it from your father. Yeah, it's not that funny, really. Well, it's funny to me. Not nice, yeah.

2:33:32 Yeah, so this view, I'm very happy that this is not only, and that's the way it was being spun, of course, just to back up for everybody, this Common Core was implemented through a Race to the Top $8 billion grant given to the National Governors Association. And they went right ahead and got Bill and Melinda Gates and all these other suspects, typical. Michael Dell and his wife. Yep, they're all on board. They're all... because of course they have... it has to be Microsoft operating system, has to be Dell computers. They're all in on it. Yeah, they don't see the danger. I'm not convinced that they're part of the real scheme. They're just part of the money part. The money part. Let's make some money. But Bill and Melinda Gates, they are evil. They have to be stopped. These people have to be stopped.

2:34:19 Well, the fact that they bought into the California Corrections CCA, that operation, which is the privatization of, which I have some clips of. I have it somewhere else and I'll get them for the next show. This is a really bad trend, these privatized jails. But the privatized jail is the same as the privatized school. We get charter schools, they're being paid for by God knows who, they're putting all this Common Core stuff in. Take your children out, vote these people out. Stop Bill and Melinda Gates. Stop them. These people must be stopped. They own NPR. They own it. Yeah, they're the ones who had the NewsHour redesign its whole operation.

2:35:05 These people must be stopped. They're like the ultimate suits. Yeah, they must be stopped. The worst kind of suits. And they really believe that, and that's the worst part, they really believe they're doing good. They're not. And you need to get involved with your kids. Pull your kids out. If there's Common Core, and it's in 47 states, if there's Common Core coming to your school, you need to revolt. What states don't have it? Texas says they don't have it, but they do actually. You know, when you get into this and you start looking, I, because I wanted to see, you know, where's Texas? Texas has Educate Texas. At Educate Texas, we know that post-secondary education will jumpstart progress.

2:35:47 That's why we work closely with our partners to ensure that all Texas high school students regardless of income blah blah blah blah blah and you look at who is on this and who's funding this and it just doesn't stop. The daisy chain of nonprofits, this also has to stop. We have to stop nonprofits. They have to stop. Seriously. It's killing us. It's killing our culture. It's killing everything. Wow. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So that, I thought you would like that.

2:40:25 The Noah gender show finally are you ready for it? Okay, Automania It's a Turkish trend. It's called Automania and it is the The mania like beetle mania for the magnificent century for the Ottoman Empire. Oh, uh, Otto, I know mania That's right it so here's some examples certainly in Turkey Burger King salt and meal combo and Ottoman cookbooks, Ottoman-style bathroom consoles, wedding invitations, Ottoman calligraphy, Ottoman-style renovation of buildings. This is a new meme. Curiously, the Ottoman footstool is not mentioned. No.

2:41:16 But this is it is that actually from the Ottoman Empire the foot sooey it's called an Ottoman Automania, this is the trend ought to which of course is a throwback to What the Caliph the post is all about yeah is about bringing back the Ottoman Empire and if you're gonna do it Yeah, well no odd Automania. It's a great new meme. I like it Auto title Automania And then final, only because, well we got it from our resident priest, who I think you saw the note too. The science is in. Hold on. Science! According to scientists now who have desperately been looking for a way to explain the pause in global warming for the past 15 years, global warming hiatus caused by the volcano's cooling effect.

2:42:16 You can't make this shit up. Do the volcanoes ever go away? Does it stop this practice? No, it is according to a new study. Oh, a new study. Published by the journal Nature Geoscience, volcanoes are the reason that average rate of warming dropped from .31 degrees Fahrenheit per decade between 1970-1998 to .072 degrees. This muted surface warming was the result of a series of 17 small volcanic eruptions beginning in 2000 that spewed enough aerosols into the atmosphere to explain the disparity between climate change models and actual warming trends. So volcanoes that are basically big fire spewing zits on the earth cool the earth.

2:43:10 It's amazing. It's just amazing. They will go to... I mean, if you're going to make something up, you might as well do it something like this. You know, I think that it's really, it's quite genius. So you look at the temperature data, it's going down, but you think for whatever reason, It should be going up because that's your whole base, you're basing everything on that. Well, that's the climate model. And it's not going up, it's going down. So you spend years probably finding something that would explain this going down thing other than global cooling. Right, exactly. And you come up with, obviously, volcanoes.

2:43:55 All right, I have a couple global warming clips, sorry, climate change, just to wrap it up for today. First, here's the president talking to the governors of America. On the West Coast, you've got Governors Brown, Inslee, Kitzhaber who are working together to combat the effects of climate change on their states. We've set up a task force of governors and mayors and tribal leaders to help communities prepare for What we anticipate are going to be intensifying impacts of climate change, and we're setting up climate hubs in seven states across the country to help farmers and ranchers adapt their operations to a changing environment. In the budget that I'll send to Congress next week, I'm going to propose fundamentally reforming the way federal governments fund wildfire suppression and prevention to make it more stable and secure. And this is an idea that's supported by both Democrats and Republicans.

2:44:51 This is the economy, ladies and gentlemen. Climate change is your economy. There is no stopping it. I would like to point out, by the way, that Andre Heintz, who is the stepson of Jerry Kerry, actually is a consultant for a Norwegian company that will be trading in carbon credits. More on that on Sunday. So that's a nice bit of native advertising his stepdad is doing there for him. And all of this, of course, is about the messaging so that we can continue this economic change with green and everything. And you need to do that with a messaging and CNN, Carol CNN, brought on the guy from Yale who is in the climate change communications, and he will explain exactly who the bad people are. John?

2:45:42 Be careful, it's us. With me now, Dr. Anthony Leiserowitz, the director of the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication. His group has been studying the why question for more than a decade. Welcome. Thank you, Carol. It's great to be with you. It's nice to have you here. So let's clear up one myth. Do the majority of Americans deny climate change? No, they don't. And that's a really important point. We find that about two-thirds of Americans believe that climate change is real. And in fact, we see more broadly that there are six very different kinds of responses to climate change in the United States. And so I edited this so we can skip right over the first five and get to the meat, number six. Six different Americas, if you will. Let's talk about the very... And then last but not least is... Right, the dissenters, right? That very vocal group of dissenters is the last group. And they're the ones who deny climate change is happening. Who are they? That's right.

2:46:34 Are you ready? Are you sitting down? Are you laying on the chaise lounge? So that group we call the dismissive. The dismissive. And these are people who are firmly convinced it's not happening, not human causing, not a serious problem. And by the way, I think that that's a farce. Climate change is happening, but to put it in the same lineup, with people who don't believe it's man-made is not fair, but okay. And in fact about three quarters of this group, and it's about 15% of the public, believe that climate change is a conspiracy. They think that it's scientists making up facts, that it's a UN plot to take away American sovereignty, that it's a plot by Al Gore as we just heard Ted Cruz talk about.

2:47:14 Yes, he's right on all counts. Right? It has nothing whatsoever to do with the basic fundamental science. Science! That you alluded to before. Is that the scientific community, based upon the evidence, 97% of climate scientists agree that climate change is happening in human cause. And yet this issue has become deeply divisive in our politics. Well, my research also found that those very loud climate deniers are backed by lots and lots of money. A recent study by Drexel University found- Where's our money? Exactly. Where's our money? But listen to what she calls lots and lots of money. Conservative foundations and others have bankrolled climate denial to the tune of $558 million between 2003 and 2010. Okay, so that's about $60 million a year. That's a lot of money.

2:48:07 No, that's nothing. That's a spit in the bucket compared to the billions and billions of dollars that are being given to pro-man-made global warming climate change groups. This is nothing but of course evil Koch brothers. Who are these wealthy climate deniers? Yeah, so there's two main camps. Yeah, what is the obvious camp and that is the fossil fuel producers? Obvious obvious, I'm sorry. I'm gonna do you have a minute John. I just need to go to the mailbox to pick up my check from the fossil fuel guys. I'm perfectly happy with the current energy system of coal and oil and natural gas. Perfectly happy. Because they're making more money than anybody else on the planet using and continuing to burn this old energy source. But the other is the ideological opposition and that's what you're talking about with these conservative think tanks. They're deeply distrustful of climate change because they're afraid of the potential solutions.

2:49:07 Climate change is not something that we can all solve through our own individual voluntary behavior. Yes, we can make a difference by turning out the lights and buying a more fuel-efficient car and saving energy. But it's only going to be a small piece of what ultimately is going to require a national and yes, global solution to this problem. And that violates some of their fundamental distrust about government and the role of government in society. Now of course as when I say that your economy is based on climate change what I really mean is gas Natural gas is the future. This is what this is the solution that is given

2:49:45 Of course it's not really a solution because it has just, it has carbon. The real solution is nuclear. Oh, I'm sorry, let's scare people about nuclear. How about you NBC? We'll do more on this story as the date approaches but there's a potentially bracing prediction from a group of scientists that low levels of radioactive cesium could arrive on our Pacific coast as early as April. like the solid waste that has already washed up in so many places from the Pacific Northwest on south. This too is from the Fukushima nuclear plant. Scientists say there are no readings yet at any of their 16 tracking sites and they are not worried about radiation levels in the water when it does arrive. However, be afraid. I said radiation. Fukushima, be scared. Scared, scared, scared.

2:50:36 That would have gotten a clip of the day almost. Well now listen, I'm gonna this is my last clip. I'm done after this the Nuclear Energy Institute they've come out they have their 2014 future of energy advertising campaign Oy vey if anyone ever needed the curry Dvorak consulting group it's these guys this is I know, these are like guys walking around a prop plane with blinders on. Yeah, wow, an aviation reference, a nice one too. Yeah, no, no, it's worse. It's walking around a helicopter towards the tail. So I shall play for you their future of energy campaign. Of course, I got this from atomicinsights.com, otherwise I wouldn't even known about it.

2:51:33 And there and so the hunters so bad They they I guess their campaign is trying to show that nuclear needs to be part of the mix Ergo trying not to I guess not to Alienate anybody or whatever it is, but it's so bad one minute here. We go. It's really really really crap I'm playing this off of the YouTube so just give me a second while it starts here. Oh, I'm sorry America's energy future I'm Leslie Dewan, chief scientist at Transatomic Power. Our next generation reactors take used nuclear fuel to generate clean electricity. Other innovators are also supporting new reactors that are safe and scalable for America's energy future. All right. Wrong. Wrong. You got some chick with stupid bangs. Yeah, she may be a scientist, but she got big bags under her eyes.

2:52:26 shitty makeup. Puffy, yeah, thank you. Get a hot chick, you go, what? Half those Ukrainian women are PhDs. Yes, thank you very much. She's technology innovator is the caption on her. Dumb. In electricity, other innovators are also supporting new reactors that are safe and scalable for America's energy future. I'm Dr. Patrick Moore, a co-founder of Greenpeace and a supporter of nuclear energy. No single energy source can satisfy our electricity needs while meeting our environmental goals. That's why I support the expansion of low-carbon nuclear energy to... Why are they... See, this is where they really messed it up. The low carbon? Yeah! Why don't they just say no carbon?

2:53:11 I don't get that either. Should be no carbon if they want to even bring that part of it up. I think that should be like a kicker. Yeah, or just not say anything. It's cheap, it's damn near free. This would solve everybody's problem. Thank you. Here's the messaging that should be going on. We're not in 1950 anymore. We don't build plants like Fukushima. We have iPhones. Times have changed and this technology has not been sitting on its butt. I've always like to equate that to, for example, Intel and their processor chips. They don't sell as many as they'd like to anymore and things have changed. But they do not stop the walk into the drumbeat of Moore's Law. The chips made today are not the same as the chips made three years ago, let alone 20 years ago. And so you have, so things have changed drastically. In fact, in fact, the voice should be promoting that. In fact, first of all, the music has to go.

2:54:10 Who made that? Did someone like do a deal? The drug company. The music has to go. And then, you know, literally, hey, it's not, this is not your daddy's nuclear plant. We, you know, remember when we had answering machines? Ha ha ha ha. That's where, that's where Fukushima's from. Today we've got iPhones. We've got high tech. We've got new nuclear reactors, thorium breeders. This is good. Look at this hot chick. It's going to save these kittens. That's the kind of stuff we want people. I'm Mark Furbeck. I oversee the training of nuclear reactor operators here at Georgia Power. And then they put the guy from Georgia Power in a nuclear operator who looks... He looks like he belongs in the Adams family. The guy's creepy!

2:54:52 I'm one of 5,000 workers building the future of nuclear energy at one of the largest economic development projects in the country. Nuclear plant construction is creating jobs and growing local economies. Confusing the message. Around the world. I'm Vicki Bailey, an energy entrepreneur with 20 years of leadership in government and industry. Not trustworthy. For America's energy future, we need a diversified electricity portfolio that includes- Who- people at home? who votes don't care about a diversified energy portfolio. No, they care about cheap, no carbon, futuristic stuff. You know, I've always thought if you put a debate on like a conservative versus a liberal and you're the guy that is promoting the liberal agenda,

2:55:37 You put the debate on with a really smart guy from your community and then you find some screwy crackpot idiot to do the debate on the other side. Right, of course. Now is there any possibility that all this is misdirection? These are designed to fail and that Georgia plant which they're building which cost a fortune and is huge and kind of old-fashioned but it's not as bad as you know the Fukushima plants This thing is gonna run into delays cost overruns It's gonna become a disaster and they're gonna point the finger at it saying look at all the old did cost 20 times more than we Thought it was gonna cost and oh my god. This is the worst technology ever and then it's gonna try to turn it on It's gonna crap out Wow, you know now I feel a little dumb because I didn't do the research into the nuclear energy Institute I am totally buying in on

2:56:31 that this is has been set up to fail. Good point. Red herring. And I'm looking at this, let's take a look at this place. Issues, who is this? News and media, career, who are these people? Who runs this thing? Nuclear energy, of course it's got to be an NGO or something. Nuclear Energy Institute. Let me guess, non-profit? Let's play while that's loading. Oh here it is. Nuclear industry lobbying group. Really? This is the lobbying group? So it is non-profit then. But this, these are... This is your lobby? This is what you came up with? How about getting someone from Hollywood? You know? Get a Clooney type person. You can get anybody. There's a million people who will do anything for money.

2:57:23 And this is the best you can do? With renewables, nuclear energy, coal and natural gas, America is developing innovative new technologies to expand the use of nuclear energy, renewables and other sources of low carbon electricity. Why are they promoting natural gas when they're trying to sell nuclear? I know! And coal! They're promoting coal! The whole thing! This is another trick. You do association. So you're condemned by association. You throw the natural gas in there, sure, that's fine. But they throw in the coal. Unbelievable. So we're like coal. Unbelievable. Let's roll it back. You're nothing like coal. And also, instead of saying we have new technology, like we're developing new technology and they show, you know what they always show? That's like that stock footage of ethernet cables with blinking lights.

2:58:10 Yeah, that's really convincingly later energy coal and natural gas America is developing innovative new technologies to expand the use of nuclear energy renewables and other sources of low-carbon electricity providing energy security for future generations nuclear clean air energy oh It is so bad. I'm Leslie Dewan chief scientist transatomic power transatomic power NEI is governed by a 47-member board of directors. Man, we really got to figure out who's running this thing. I bet you Sir Atomic Rod Adams will know. But these guys are up to no good. Oh, they've... okay. They've hired the Potomac Communications Group. I would fire the Potomac Communications Group if I were you. I'd be using WPP right off the top. Yeah, get the real guys in there.

2:59:09 The problem is they don't have as much money. That's the problem. How could they not have any money? General Electric builds these things. I don't think they're a part of it. I think General Electric just wants the gas turbines. Those go out after a while, you need to build new ones. This whole... I hadn't thought of that angle. Good idea. They're very good on you in there. Knowledge Center. This looks shit. FAQ. These people are no good. They're never gonna help. No, they're not helping. They're not designed to help. They really aren't, are they? No, when you see fails like that, you have to assume it's done on purpose. Unbelievable. Or done by a high school kid. One of the two. Screw it. We're not gonna change that. However, we can bring you your healthy news diet and we'll do it again on Sunday. I'm sure we'll have more Common Core as people are

3:00:16 Awakened once again about this? Talk a little bit about genetically modified crops in Europe. Nice. Alright. They're supposed to be all against it. They're all for it. And then we also have to talk about this Boston Magazine article about the Boston bombers and their link to the triple murder and this girl who's been reporting on all of it who was a friend of one of the killed guys. It's very, very deep. Very strange. I'll link in the show notes so you can brush up on that and be ready for the show on Sunday. Thank you all for your support.
