"Biostitutes"

00:00 I could be all day if they were smart Adam Curry John C Devorah it's Thursday April 3rd 2014 time for your get more nation media assassination episode 605 this is no agenda Calling for a ban on morning leaf blowing at FEMA Region 6 here at the Travis Heights Head Office in Austin, Texas. In the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where it's garbage day but nobody is blowing anything. I am John C. DeVore. It's crackpotting buzzkills! Yeah, they're only blowing stuff around here...

00:36 So you got a bunch of leaf blower guys? Yeah, and it's so unnecessary. Why do these things have to make so much noise? I know they should be muffled. Hey, the guys are these blower guys... They're like the three babushkas that I always like to refer to in The Kremlin sweeping right down the middle just moving dirt from side-to-side not doing shit! One side to the other. Blow it over there. These leaf blowing guys are just blowing nuts. I don't see what they accomplish. Alright, are you ready? You're in trouble. I am? Yeah! Why, what happened to California? You ask for something... When you ask for something, you get it Of course, you don't really get it, you always get via me Okay, what happened? OBAMA!!! But wait... BANNED!!! CLINTON!!! You want more?!

01:35 Yeah, I see what else he's got. What was that? That was Kerry Maybe that one is not good enough. Let me try again Actually the good ones so far have been Obama and Clinton The other one is Biden's no good Come on you gotta admit No Koch Brothers is definitely a must and I have a clip for it Alright hold on a second let me rack up the jingle And the clip Hold on a second Where's your clip Okay, the clip is this is Robert. I got a set it up. I just can't run it yeah This is Robert Kennedy jr.. And this clip I have it right here Robert Kennedy the greatest warmest speech He's he's pushing global was the global warming agenda beautiful and he's dropping in every kind of meme he can he's interspersing the tobacco Perfect all right let's roll it lets roll the clip and then I got to the jingle for later

02:33 Recently, the Koch brothers have... Koch Brothers! And we win right off the bat. Beautiful According to the Bruhl report put in more than five hundred million dollars over the past decade and a half to deceive the public about the impacts of global warming. They've created a network of think tanks in Washington, D.C., so-called free market think tanks but they're not about free markets they're about ensuring corporate profit taking without interference without regulatory interference as we talked about last night it's insuring is not about free markets, it's about socialism for the rich and capitalism. A very merciless savage capitalism for the poor. And all those think tanks are stocked with these phony scientists we call them biostitutes but they're scientists... Well stop the presses! What did he call them? Biostitudes Wow let me write that one down I want to be one

03:36 Yeah, hi my name is Adam Curry. I used to work for MTV. What do you do today? I'm a biostitute. Oh that's interesting! By the way I want to mention that the socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor is something that was said lot of times by Gore Vidal in the 60s and I remember because I always thought it was a catchy phrase so this guy steals the phrase unbelieve any but he can't just steal it per se he's got to embellish it that's beautiful he says socialism for the rich and capitalism for way we're not regular capitalism no horrible miserable you know killing them all

04:17 And you remember in 1998, I believe when the seven CEOs of the seven tobacco companies came before Congress Waxman's committee raised their right hand and swore under oath. No cancer! They did not believe that tobacco had any health impacts and that it was not addictive And Exxon, you know that's what the tobacco industry which was killing one out of every four customers. He said Exxon in the middle of his sentence! Did he say Exxon? Really did he? Go back and at the end he says the tobacco Exxon... No that can't be. We believe that tobacco had any health impacts and it was not addictive. And Exxon, you know that's what the tobacco industry which What?! I don't think maybe meant something else

05:01 He was going to, well he wanted to transition the Exxon but he drops Exxon in and then says tobacco industry. That's great. Creating a you know of link between the tobacco industry and the lying bastards who were up there in front of Congress. I need more of this be quiet! One out of every four of its customers they used it product as directed they were able to avoid regulation through that kind of deception for 60 years what Exxon is the richest company in the history of the world, biggest profits in the history of the world and they have a lot higher stakes and they have given 500 million dollars to buy politicians and to deceive the public about the impacts of global warming. To fuel this whole denier movement and it's work now They say now exxon has stopped that campaign They're secretly funding them but publicly exxon is saying

05:51 We understand that global warming is, does exist but we don't care. We are going to barbecue the planet and we are gonna burn all of the oil that's on our book reserves which is three times the amount of oil this report says will destroy civilization. Amazing. Barbecue the planet! Destroy civilization. Stop stop stop stop Wow, wow. Well that's over thanks for listening everybody we had a great show thanks for your support That's always good to start with the back. Oh my goodness that oh and I

06:31 And I thought, I had some good Agenda 21 global warming IPCC clips. We'll just empty the bin now! Just throw it all out! You know what's funny is at the very end if you can just catch the very end this is on The Ed Schultz Show and Schultz says oh he makes a very subtle little thing at the end. Which is three times the amount of oil that this report says will destroy civilization Amazing! Amazing! He buys it. Really? Okay, all right so we might as well get into this right now because the of course you know this is what we do this is what we analyze these reports and man have we always been taking a look at the IPCC and then of course our first interest came was that around 2009 I believe. To the gate to the gate to the climate gate

05:51 We understand that global warming is, does exist but we don't care. We are going to barbecue the planet and we are gonna burn all of the oil that's on our book reserves which is three times the amount of oil this report says will destroy civilization. Amazing. Barbecue the planet! Destroy civilization. Stop stop stop stop Wow, wow. Well that's over thanks for listening everybody we had a great show thanks for your support That's always good to start with the back. Oh my goodness that oh and I

06:31 And I thought, I had some good Agenda 21 global warming IPCC clips. We'll just empty the bin now! Just throw it all out! You know what's funny is at the very end if you can just catch the very end this is on The Ed Schultz Show and Schultz says oh he makes a very subtle little thing at the end.

Okay, all right so we might as well get into this right now because the of course you know this is what we do this is what we analyze these reports and man have we always been taking a look at the IPCC and then of course our first interest came was that around 2009 I believe. To the gate to the gate to the climate gate

07:22 Yeah, probably. People don't really talk about that anymore when you know they had all these scientists emails talking about phoning up the data but now the They've come it's a new strategy It's a new strategy John I don't know if you've really noticed the strategy now is everyone even the deniers agree That it's real But now they just don't really know If its man-made So this is the new kind of lexicon that has crept in. I'll give you a couple examples, here's the crazy Kraku guy or Kakku? Kuku? The scientist? Yeah the white haired guy

08:04 who is not a meteorologist, but he gets to... He's kind of like Bill Nye the Science Guy. The Asian version. But collectively 100 year storms, 100 year floods, 100 years droughts, 100 year forest fires I mean something is very dangerously happening with the weather And do those climate change deniers? What?! What? 100 years storms and 100 year fires. It's the worst in a hundred years John, fact shut up you denier! But collectively...100 years storms, 100-year floods, 100-year droughts, 100-years forest fires You see because there was a hundred years between Katrina and Sandy Can't you count? I mean something presenting it though it makes it sound like there's a flood this last thing is what with Noah Yeah its a hundred years. Very dangerously happening with the weather

08:52 And to those climate change deniers? Well they realize that something is happening with the weather. They admit that now, however they disagree about human activity. That's this is what it is! Who's the spokesman?! Well I'll be it. I'll be the spokesman so yes I admit now clearly climate change is happening and and what's interesting now is the report that came out talked about adaptation Hold on, let me get the exact words here in the report. Of course Firefox is not going to help me today... Okay here we go. Adaptation... Why can't I find it now? Anyway it's about- The first word of this report is about adaptation and then somewhere there's mitigation is in there and you know in order to keep these people going

09:49 In order to keep the whole climate change industry going, we need to come up with new reasons for research. So now of course at a certain point the science is in it's all done so you know we don't need to research anymore that were barbecuing the planet thanks to the Koch brothers! Now we have to come up with, you know like new research or something new. Let me see why don't we listen to Christopher Field now he's the co-chair of the IPCC Working Group 2 who produced this report here He is talking on the BBC. It's also important and it is a real difference in messaging from the IPCC To put a lot more emphasis on the new science that says what we can accomplish with ambitious and I'm sorry its new science

10:36 I want to make sure you understood this news science. ...investments in both mitigation and adaptation, where we think of adaptation as creative options for coping as effectively as possible with the climate changes that can't be avoided... And why has that change in messaging come? The IPCC is charged with assessing what's known and what's not known in the scientific literature about... You hear what he said? What's not known and what's not known To play again, I missed it. What's not known in the scientific? Go back one more here we

11:11 options for coping as effectively as possible with the climate changes that can't be avoided. And why has that change in messaging come? The IPCC is charged with assessing what's known and what's not known... No, I'm sorry. It's a different clip, I'm sorry. ...in the scientific literature about how climate change, or the Wolland Working Group 2 case impacts adaptation and vulnerability. In 2014 we have a much broader base of scientific understanding on What we can accomplish with adaptation and what we can't accomplish with adaptation, We're really reporting on where the science has come over the last dozen years or so. It's just gobbledygook. Oh yeah I know but wait listen to this version! Climate change is really a challenge in managing risks

11:57 And it's not that we're talking about identifying a particular thing that is going to happen in a particular place at a particular time. It is understanding how to be prepared, in two critical ways. One critical way is decreasing the amount of climate change that occurs and the other is finding ways to cope as effectively as we can... Now listen carefully! We need to find ways to cope effectively as we can? Okay what does that mean? With climate changes that cannot be avoided The main thing we learned from the report is that we don't really know enough about adaptation to go out with a big steamroller type approach and really deploy an effective system. We really are at the stage now where we should be thinking about

12:42 being ambitious but being ambitious in a creative way with baby steps that we learn from that allow us to do a better job the next time and a better job the time after that. This means more research because you know, the next time we have report and then next time we have report and then next time this is scam! What a scam... Oh by the way The producers of An Inconvenient Truth are now looking at a sequel. Everyone's jumping on the bandwagon! This is not going to be about mitigation, like oh well you know it's too bad we can't really do anything about it you know but you know... Now we have to be prepared for and that'll cost you at least $100 billion in research this is what was not reported in this report

13:27 In fact it was removed from the, so you have the summary for I think they call it policy makers or some bullshit which basically means hey press read this. The report is so complicated and convoluted just read the summary and what they pulled out of the summary which is in the report is there's at least a hundred billion dollars needed to research how to adapt to global warming 100 billion! Wow. We're in the wrong business Yeah, no kidding a hundred billion that's in the report black and white yeah The New York Times actually reported here we go I let me have see what the times how to sees this is a scam No one cares

14:11 I'm reading from the New York Times. The $100 billion figure included in the 2,500 page main report was removed from a 48-page executive summary to be read by the world's top political leaders it was among the most significant changes made as the summary underwent final review during an editing session of several days in Yokohama The edit came after several rich countries, including the United States raised questions about the language according to several people who were in the room at the time but did not wish to be identified because the negotiations were private. This is a bunch of scientists in secret meetings!

14:50 The language is contentious because poor countries are expected to renew their demand for this aid, for aid this September in New York at a summit meeting of world leaders. Yeah they're not getting any of the hundred billion. No! Of course not and the scientists like fuck those guys we want the 100 billion don't give it to some brown people yeah This is for us! This our money We spent all this time writing these reports that I'm gonna have these sand bunnies take our money? I don't think so This is a scam of the highest magnitude and everybody's in on it. People like Charlie Rose, they're so into it that he doesn't even realize what the fuck he's saying! Beyond leadership which is an important and essential fact... What else has to happen to create the kind of urgency? And fear that's a call-to-action I mean really?!

15:41 What do we need to do to scare people? That's what he said. Play that clip again, that's astonishing! That is literally what he said! Beyond leadership... Yeah, this is exactly what he said Which is an important and essential fact. What else has to happen to create the kind of urgency and fear that's a call-to-action Let me give you an example. Here's Brian Williams on NBC, he doesn't ask the questions he just... He is a good soldier! He has got the memo and he is on board. On our broadcast tonight dire warning The prediction tonight that climate change could destabilize human society The American cities under threat along with food and water supplies

16:22 Good evening. The world has never been spoken to quite this way We've never been warned like this before all of us about climate change nor have so many countries agreed Quite this much on the clear and present danger it represents here is the takeaway Unless the world changes course quickly and dramatically the fundamental systems that support human civilization are at risk This is all coming from the UN, and the evidence is convincing enough in part because so many nations have agreed with these findings that it will hit home across this country especially in those population areas where people may need to be on the move faster than they first thought. Shut up already! Science! There's no escape people you're all fucked! You're going to die!

17:11 This is... and still, the general population is going hey have they found that plane yet? This is true. It's got to be the most frustrating Frustrating experience for these guys they got the hundred billion dollars within their grasp yes, it's so close But we need to keep it away from the brownies Got the money right there They just need to wait for the checks to come in but the public is still yawning Whatever I'd say is gonna rain tomorrow And the there's a because there's no evidence of any of this. There's a video that the IPCC put out a couple years ago There's a video that the IPC see put out which it made no sense really to clip it But it's it's a highly produced Then it's got the main guy Michael Oppenheimer, I think it's Michael Oppenheimer who's the now maybe its Christopher field one of the two co-chairs

18:11 And he's walking around looking at scientifics, he's got his hands in grain and it's all dry. Then he looks up and then clouds form and thunder and lightning! You see wind and you see people... The whole thing is like Al Gore set the standard with An Inconvenient Truth. Everyone is just all over this and you know we're barb... Do you have that linked in the show notes? Yeah of course, of course. We're gonna barbecue the earth let me see I got to here's a so here's the main douche who is now of course he has all kinds of conflicts of interest Pachari Oh that guy! I thought they rousted him over now he doesn't get to talk anymore only gets to do the big presentation up there on the dais The one message that comes out very clearly

18:56 is that the world has to adapt and the world has to mitigate. And the sooner we do that, the less the chances of some of the worst impacts of climate change being faced in different parts of the world. Yes! We're all going to die Here's a Christopher field in that same BBC interview then the BBC there. They've got the memo and the memo is okay everybody even the deniers Agree that climate is changing, and this is a very smart move by the way about time because of course the climate is changing But now it's only, well is it man-made or not? But it's moved beyond that into the adaptation stage. I think they lean too heavily on it because you'll hear the guys like...

19:43 Yeah, there's also we're also saying we still got to try and stop the warming and but let the BBC just listen how this question is framed And you'll hear that they're all in on this on this concept of everybody agrees now But because what some people who are broadly defined as skeptics say is that actually the impact of your report should be that we look to spending more on adaptation and less on mitigation. In other words, not much we can do it. We know we've got climate change is going to happen It may or may not be as serious and as widespread as people are saying but the thing to concentrate on is making sure we're ready for it The BBC's got the message

20:26 And this guy should just be saying, yep that's right. But he... Yeah but you notice the difference between the way he presented it though compared to Brian Williams? Well yeah there's that I mean the difference is like night and day! I know but is beautiful There is an element of the report that capitalizes on opportunities for smart investments concerning adaptation Wow do you hear what he just said? Where did that come from?! It's true. No, but where did that line come from? Was it the BBC guy? Yeah no this is the co-chair Christopher Field he's answering the BBC guy and he's saying yeah they

21:06 There's an there's a to capitalize make some money here boys literally. What are you saying? Very mildly coded message attention venture capital investors Would you like to make 20% on your investment stand by and read our report 100 billion coming your way It's kind of a problem for my the way I see it this guy The venture capital community was burned by the clean revolution. It's almost taken Kleiner Perkins into, you know... Right but now there is this $100 billion that is going to come out and they are going try and get some of that. No they say a hundred billion needs to be spent Yeah but it's gonna come from the government

21:48 I'm not sure that Congress is going to be allowed to throw this money into this pot. Are you kidding? This is... Because of Solyndra and these other scams! No one cares, did they find that plane yet? John please No, I know but there's enough guys that bitch about this and and we're broke. We were in a depression We can't afford to drop 100 billion dollars on just I mean it's a good way It's a welfare program for scientists so once again bogus right bogus reports But one of our producers sent me A copy of their electricity bill from California you may have already seen this You now have something called the climate credit on your bill. It happens in April and October, and you're going to get it too. And you get a piece of money back! The way this scam works is there's now a climate tax on businesses... Of course the bad polluters in California

22:42 They give part of that money to you and, of course the rest is just a tax. You know they're taxing and you're going to get it somewhere on the back end because someone's gonna have to pay for it so there it's kind of like a round robin and obviously portion sticks with the government but there is a California climate tax now and to trick you you're getting a piece of that back on your bill I'd like to know how much you got back actually if you can take a look at your bill one of these days I didn't know i got a bill from the state. You get an electricity bill, it's not from the state. Oh the electricity bill? I'll take a look. Who gets the California climate credit? Households will receive a credit in April-October each year and small businesses will get the credit each month Most Californians are eligible for the climate credit... oh sorry you're probably not eligible believe me The credit goes to households of small businesses located where privately owned utilities regulated by the Public Utilities Commission provide electricity distribution services

23:42 That includes customers of PG&E, SDG&E, Southern California Edison Pacific Power, Liberties Utilities and those who buy electricity generation in those areas from direct access providers and community choice aggregators such as Marin Clean Energy. The amount of the credit varies based on utility or electric service provider How California is tackling climate change? The Climate Credit is one of several programs Californians implementing to fight climate change by limiting greenhouse gas pollution California requires large industries like power plants to reduce the greenhouse gas pollution they emit and pay for their emissions. That's a carbon credit, tax! The California climate credit is your share of the payments made by California's biggest industrial emitters." So it's a smart way to do it because you're thinking hey... It's a bribe. Yeah we're taking it from them. It's a bribe exactly

24:45 Let's listen to a little more of this Christopher guy because he says some outrageous stuff in this interview may or may not be as Serious and as widespread as people are saying but the thing that concentrate on is making sure we're ready for it There is an element of the report that capitalizes on opportunities for smart investments concerning adaptation, but an equally strong message. Is at the risk of severe and pervasive impacts goes up dramatically in a world that doesn't pay attention to continued emissions of high emissions. Basically, we can reduce risk dramatically if we think about decreasing emissions, if we aggressively decrease emissions and if we combine that with adaptation. If there's a single message in the report that comes through more clearly than any other it is no matter what we do will face

25:35 consequential impacts from climate change. We need to be able to manage those and opportunities for managing them are much better if we face the world with some combination of adaptation and mitigation. Opportunities! There's lots of opportunities! You see, we used to be told didn't we that it could cost what 5% more than that of world GDP? The kind of climate change that we might expect to have in the middle and end of the century And actually that doesn't seem to come from this report That actually is is an amount of money that is copable In the past, I think we tended to take a kind of linear deterministic view of what the overall impacts of climate change might be and there was a tendency that translate those into a single number. And now I think we have a much broader view of kinds of factors that are influenced by climate some which are easy to put in monetary terms some of which aren't some of which are worth more in some value systems than others What does that mean?

26:37 Some that are worth more in some value systems than others? Oh, that's a good question. What does that mean? It's... well... anyway So I see us now taking on much more multi-viewpoint multidimensional view of the world He is from Silicon Valley now! Multidimensional viewpoint Really? Climate problem. Is he playing holodeck chess? Making it really hard to come up with single numbers, but really emphasizing how complicated and difficult the problem is And you think that view is one that will capture people's imaginations make them feel that they have a chance of coping with this in-in a manner that perhaps previous more alarmist findings didn't Now this is interesting now He's going to give an analogy

27:25 of what the IPCC really is about and who should be using their report. Well, let me say that the role of the IPCC is not to motivate action you know? The IPCC is charged with providing a scientific balanced assessment of what's not known and what's not known about... There ya go! What's not known and what's not known. Yeah play that again. That's the part where he said it but that's just a mistake Yeah, I know. But still... Scientific balanced assessment of what's not known and what's not known about climate change science. I think lots of organizations that are doing climate communications are like bells they're trying to ring as loud and clear as possible And remember this is the organizations doing climate communications John

28:15 Climate communicate they're trying to ring the bell. That's not the IPCC the IPCC is more like a bell tower It's intended to allow people to climb up to a height where they can get a clear view of what the present looks like and what possible alternative futures look like Yes, that's the tower we need to climb ladies and gentlemen well yes good stuff Well, then maybe it is time to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C. DeVore. Almost enough time to do that! I thought you'd have more stuff to talk about Adam? I figured i just try and catch you off guard John but if you'd like me to play some more climate change clips while you open your spreadsheet I'm happy to do that Do you have more climate change clips? No just play the Charlie Rose one again because this my favorite Beyond Leadership

29:12 which is an important and essential fact. What else has to happen to create the kind of urgency, and fear that's a call-to action? There you go! Yeah well we... in the morning do you Adam, come in the morning all ships at sea out there? Yes in the morning too all our citizens in the chat room NoahJennerStream.com. Feet on the ground and subs in water? How come we still have any subs in the water?! Because we still have a few subs in the water And I also need to say in the morning to our artists, thank you Nick The Rat for the album art for 604 and don't be discouraged if your art isn't chosen. There are people who have submitted for a long time Oh! I want to bring my favorite story back to The Four Would that be Martin JJ? Martin JJ

30:05 So we had the situation with Martin JJ who all of a sudden started doing these art pieces that we were picking one after another because it was a serious fact he had to actually go into semi-retirement Because I think even submitted under a pseudonym at some point so But III see wow this guy was unbelievable these guys comes out of the blue like and then I Was going back to look for some art for the newsletter, and I went way back to the original early earliest postings that's on the Art Generator which is not the earliest we've done. There used to be another art program that we use before The Art Generator Wow, really? I don't remember that Don't you remember there was a different site and then we went there and Then The Art Generator came along and kind of just blew the other one out of the water? Kinda Anyway well it's this story So anyway so i went way back to the beginning years ago And there's old Martin JJ failing Failing Poorly He'd been submitting for years apparently

31:00 And so but he stuck to it and then he became one of the top. I also think actually one of the top five, if not the top two guys. This entire show is a performance okay? It's performance as John would say postmodern performance art and you know we have worked for many years now going on our 66th seventh year when our sixth year when our seventh year perfecting our art and we still you know learn and improve every day, but if you want to be a someone who creates Art of a certain genre Original art it has this sarcastic cynical undertone yet funny Which is very hard to do. You know keep at it exactly so it's really it's a boot camp

31:55 of sorts. Yeah, yeah you get the hang of it eventually um okay here we go we have a few people to thank quite a few actually a good group uh one two three four I guess one two three four five executive producers including Gregory Worley $605 of Evington. It's been a while since we had a Club member, so he'll be the the sole 605 club member this has been awhile for episodes yeah donations Wow sometimes they do it sometimes they don't yeah Love the show can I get a playlist of my favorites which goes as follows trains good planes bad JC's mac and cheese

32:38 then karma I see I think there's an Atlas for me oh yeah gee how did you miss that? Macaroni and cheese mac and cheese. You've got Karma Thank you Gregory Worley. It's not related to Sir Gregory no I guess I don't think so is he related to the other Worley Becky Warley Becky were You're early down the street, and not her husband now this guy's in Virginia. Okay? Oh oh the Virginians are back That's how it works

33:29 Oh yeah, we've been meaning to remind Virginians to donate to the show here. I mean seriously? We are kind of working for you guys in a way. It's some funny level... We try to expose NSA for you like you should be helping us out a bit and by the way Koch brothers How about sending some of that five... These guys are two cheap bastards. There's no way they'd give all this money away. How about sending some of that 500 billion our way? 500 billion, really?! Sir David Foley is back in the saddle with $562.33. He's the Archduke Silicon Valley on behalf of California

34:16 ITM, Adam and Birthday Boy. After reading the newsletter I just had to take advantage of all these great offers! Anyone who got the last newsletter must have gotten a kick out of this. It was almost like... What's that thing you get at home? The Reader or something? Like Parade Magazine has all these coupons? Yeah, it's like a bunch of coupons. You stuff my box with coupons but it was fascinating seeing all of those donation levels that essentially the producers of this show have created over the years Yeah, yeah and there's only a few of them. I'm gonna do another group of them on next Wednesday. Really? Oh you'll do it again okay cool Well just that there are a few in their that are kind of... they're just amusing because what if somebody wanted to get into 200 the Deuce Club Of course nobody took any these offers but i guess they got reminded anyway so here is $500 from founding producer executive producer which is what that is So he took advantage

35:11 $62 to celebrate John's birthday and 33 cents to keep the spooks at bay. Thanks for your courage in continuing to promote the best podcast in the universe! Thank you for producing. He sells 4k, what's his website? 4kspecial.com Yeah he sells 4K TVs So part of this is your birthday which will be Wikipedia has it listed as your 62nd birthday Yes on Saturday That's this Saturday okay alright And a newsletter comes out where I can congratulate myself No i'll call you on Saturday You're gonna call me what Just call and say happy birthday Oh that'd be nice

35:49 Sir Dwayne Melanson, the Duke of Mystery in Tigard, Ti-garde, Ti-garde Oregon. Which is I drove past...I say it every time of course $500 ITM serves from the Duke of Mystery and I'm tardy in donating due to personal chaos but I couldn't resist the pandas dancing much better than dogs or kittens This was another test that we did Somebody sent us a note. Well, let me finish this note I've been enjoying dropping the Hillary Clinton is uniquely qualified line on people and it leaves everyone speechless It really works well the other day to so I'm in Oakland at To get some go go to a meat market there that does has these oh is that what they're calling it these days?

36:33 Yeah, so there's this cool little meat market real specialists and there's a little flea market out in front and there are these two black guys. And one of the old black guys... These old guys like in his late 80s or something had a huge button! Huge giant button that said Hillary in 2016 I took his picture by the way. Oh, you got to post that this is great! Should anyway so he's getting and these two black guys they're both all in on Hillary and i dropped a line right? I said oh yeah well she says nobody can beat her she and she's the best qualified to run the empire uniquely qualified well...I said best but okay fine and then what did they say? They both nodded

37:25 That's right. That's right she is Alex Farrington in Santa Maria California 3 4 5 6 7 which is actually one of my favorite donation numbers ITM gentlemen this should complete my knighthood We have them down yep, I think so I donated for the show 600 as well as a six eleven back in 2012 no longer total chump It's also my birthday today. Oh we have on that list. I think so let me double-check You can continue while I'm checking. Thank you for your courage and superb work, and beware of douchebags like Sherman Nilsson and boners like Sheldon of the Shire. Wait a minute... No he's not on it but i'm going to put him on right now! I don't need anything fancy just Sir Alex. You got it. It's fine. Farrington is a great last name by the way. I've always liked the name Farrington.

38:19 It's just interesting. It beats Pudna. Chechny Natuliev in Austin, Texas right down the street from you is $333 and 33 cents He has the comment lunch money Yeah he is of course our Baron de Marriott Sheriff of Texas Saw him last night at Mismiki, you had another little mini expo the 5x7. Yeah? This is actually very interesting this have you ever seen one of these five by seven things No So they it's done by the Contemporary Museum in Austin here and they ask a whole bunch of artists You know as many very famous and some just not so And then you know really good ones to make a five-by-seven piece of art five inches by seven inches

39:03 And it's not signed or identified and so you know if people who are in the know can say oh that's a so-and-so, that's a so-and-so. Yeah, it's a style. And every single piece of art is $100 but the way it works is they blow an air horn somewhere around 8 o'clock and the first one...you have to grab the number off that's hanging underneath the piece of art So you have to hang around that one art piece you want. Well last year, that's what I thought like oh just hang around Like I'd like to get this piece and they were like the old ladies kicking me in the crotch Yeah grab this number and this year I was like fuck that And I literally because Mickey wanted one piece and I stood there and I block I cockblock people I elbowed people it was hilarious But I'm very uncomfortable

39:50 It's all for charity or whatever. It's like terrible, they shouldn't even allow this sort of thing! Well what was kind of fun is that Mickey had two pieces and people were fighting over them That I love watching. Yeah yeah that's cool Anyway so we saw Sir Gene last night it was good to see him because it's been so busy And I think lunch money means take me out to lunch Ohhhhhhh Yeah. I get it's like a gas euro, you know? Like you kind of get it but not really. Yeah okay well let's go on Craig Cutner in Norwalk Connecticut 27718 guess I'll be Sir Craig of cable

40:28 I've been listening since before 2010 which marked my first of many random donations, but i stepped up. Your product is outstanding! Besides whatever producer credit I get, I want to make sure that $111 goes to Club 33 Disaster Relief Fund I'm sure the Red Cross has promised you matching grants. Now there's an idea! There is a story behind that. We need to do a benefit, we need to do... I bet they call out Naughty Nancy to the stage and I'd also like to contribute one $69.69 for now and put one into the Swazilov Insurance Fund. There should be a crisis of confidence in an unfortunate gap of donations that may occur

41:08 As much as I enjoy the donation segment, I've overstayed my welcome yes and would like a don't eat me Hillary LGY karma. Eat me Hillary Clinton! Yay! You've got karma. Hey this is... we should call Clooney and put together a telethon for the club 33 We can get a bunch of celebritties to join in. Yeah, right and then we just pocket the money? Yeah!

It's no longer Prevention Month or Cure Month its control month uh-huh more money in control that's right control improved despite the strides cancer remains the second leading what cause We need to control cancer. That's new, it used to be let's fight it, lets knock it out, lets get rid of it, lets cure it but this is the pharmaceutical industry we just need to control it. Yeah that their business they do some of the best work in this country

Let me give you the rest of the list John...of today's...actually for this month The Presidential Proclamations Now of course we knew this one was coming These are proclamation not orders No these are proclamations Okay So a lot of people say hey it's fix your face month or whatever no if it is not a presidential proclamation does not count Just because some trade association jumped in and said that doesn't work

50:42 But it is of course, we had by presidential proclamation World Autism Awareness Day. Now we knew this was coming, that was on April 1st and we knew it was coming because the CDC came out with a report right on time. And you know autism speaks the huge NGO was out there and I have to say i'm really sorry I don't trust these guys no this is all about money for research It's just like at a certain point will have world Autism Control Day

51:17 Because we're never gonna solve it you see. It'll just be oh, we need to be able to control it with drugs Yeah I don't-I do not see this going well and although I'm sure there's lots of work that is being done You know the president in his proclamation says last year I launched the brain research through the advanced innovative neurotechnologies initiative which is an acronym for BRAIN get it? A program that aims to revolutionize our understanding of the human mind by unlocking new knowledge of the brain Unlocking. It's always unlocking something, like it's locked. We can pave the way for myriad medical breakthroughs including a greater appreciation for the science of autism! Science of autism! What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on earth today let us celebrate our differences but also let us acknowledge our responsibilities to each other and move forward as one what does that mean

52:14 Wow! So, whatever. Okay it's these things are disturbing to me let's see what else we have on our list of course today is a Cesar Chavez day which yeah we celebrate one of America's greatest champions for social justice nobody remembers him and we got Caesar Chavez road here in Texas it is also national sexual assault awareness and prevention month and we also celebrate by presidential proclamation National Financial Capability Month! What does that even mean? I need to read some of this to you. Thanks to the grit and determination of the American people, our nation has cleared away the rubble of the worst recession since The Great Depression. My God, the guy's a poet... As we continue to create jobs and grow our economy... That hasn't gone anywhere. Families strive to rebuild their finances and shore up their futures

53:23 During National Financial Capability Month, we renew our drive to give all Americans the tools to navigate the financial world and gain economic freedom to pursue their own measure of happiness. In today's economy, financial capability is essential for some life's biggest transitions—paying for college, buying a home, saving for retirement… What? 0.1% interest? Yeah savings is going great! A solid understanding of the marketplace is easier to avoid scams, spot misleading information and decipher complex paperwork.

54:14 That'd probably help me understand how that Capital One bank charges you 23% interest on just buying something. And I pay my, on time but there's a... Oh i'm sorry this purchase is eligible for interest huh? Yeah, maybe I have the bill here. It's eligible? I like the way it says eligible. Take a floor from by the cops you know! I've just termed that your eligible for tickets but only portion only a portion of that is eligible before i think if you um... If you take money out of ATM which I didn't do and I'm only trying to build up credit foolishly enough But seriously there's like this portion of this month's bill eligible for uh... twenty three percent interest

55:00 I only use the card to purchase something, i'm paying the bill on time but I automatically have a two dollar fee in there as eligibility for interest. Get a different card those guys are scammers! But no but I thought that this is what our Native American Indian woman... What's what's in your wallet? Yeah but a scam is what's in my wallet A big scam. All right, that's terrible you know by the way nobody else would ever discuss these charges because they advertise! No because all of a sudden we're sorry we're not going to advertise anymore on your network? We are not advertising it with your network anymore Yes we've looked at... These two boneheads Yeah we looked at your podcast network and yeah we think we're going to probably spend our money elsewhere where people aren't so critical of us helping to build the American economy

55:49 You unpatriotic a-holes. Also my presidential proclamation today, this is National Child Abuse Prevention Month as mentioned previously National Cancer Control month and Yeah, it is national donate life month Donate your life How do you... what? Each day in quiet hospital- Are we mayans now, we have to like throw ourselves off the temple. Each day in quiet hospital rooms and busy offices In familiar sanctuaries and family living rooms People make the courageous decision To give the gift of life After passing his first driving test An elated teenager adds a life saving symbol to his license

56:34 While struggling to comprehend their own loss, grieving parents choose to help another child live. During National Donate Life Month we celebrate those who provide the vital organ eye and tissue donations." You could have these eyes! Good luck with that! Yeah! Hey good news you got an eye bad news it was Curry's eye the right one We bring new hope to the growing list of men, women and children who still need a donation. All right go to organdonor.gov! Alright so I am not doing this because i believe it makes you a target for organs. There's a lot of people that think that. Yeah well I think that way. Unless they stiffen the laws for people stealing organs

57:25 Or you know did hey the guys that we are you sitting there in the ambulance? How is he gonna make it? Yeah, well really Exactly yeah what's in your wallet. Well let's check let's see if there's a bill. He's a life donor oh Oh boy what can we do I That's terrible that you'd even have those kinds of thoughts in this country, land of the free home with the brave. Well, you know, the Armageddon is so upon us John and you know you and I track this we know of course that in financial, in dire financial then economic times the hookers get better looking and there's more of them. I think that's a fact everyone can see that for themselves just go to backpage.com

58:13 We know that depression food makes an entree. Mac and cheese has now become a luxury worldwide, it truly is gourmet now." It's hilarious! And this report just proved it all to me. Well the fledgling South Bend business got a devastating blow yesterday morning when employees arrived to find thousands of dollars in damage to the building even more astounding its believed to be the handiwork of a single 19-year old student reportedly from Notre Dame Megan Hickey has more on the suspect. Brian McCurran, who was arrested for burglary vandalism and underage drinking. And Megan the destruction is something you really have to see to believe

58:52 Right, Terry. He allegedly used heavy objects like a cement flower pot and tools like a hammer to attempt to bust through every possible entrance then once inside he wreaked havoc on the business itself and the only reason police were able to make an arrest is because he passed out in the kitchen while snacking on a large amount of Hot Pockets There you go The end is near. Now, see now that I'm gonna have to do this Hold on a second We don't do it that often in many shows we haven't had a lot of clips of the day but that thing is just too priceless Actually if I played the rest of the report you'd shit yourself You want to hear more? There's there's a little more to it. Yeah, play the rest. I left it just in case He pounded his way in through

59:44 The wall. Day Spa owner Sarah Rose Frazier can barely comprehend the damages. He walked all around the building and picked up about a hundred pound flower pot, threw it... into the door where it has a stained glass window in the middle and broke that, crawled through there actually cut himself. After getting into the porch McCurran appears to have used a hammer to bore through a wall once inside lamps mirrors and bowls were smashed and thrown he got his hands on a fire extinguisher and that trail led police upstairs where McCurran was found asleep He went through a half of box of Hot Pockets. Ate through that while macaroni and cheese he was warming up in an antique style oven. I mean, does it get any better?

1:00:30 Hot pockets and macaroni and cheese. So this is what we're dealing with here as a guy, remember? It's a zombie apocalypse! And they live on hot pockets and mac n' cheese. And he doesn't know any better than to eat hot pockets and mac n' cheese. Food! Food!! This is a pathetic story. Food!!! Now what's pathetic is Zanzanio, Zanzanio, Zanzizaru. Okay you got me baffled. Zanzanio the CIA State Department USAID Cuban version of Twitter. You haven't heard about this? No I have completely all years. Oh my goodness! Okay so the Associated Press this is for once it's not a... let me bring up the link here For once it's not a Snowden revelation

1:01:27 But the, so now it has come to light that the USAID created a social network called ZunZuneo which is apparently means something like Twitter in Cuban slang. And they had it running with like 40,000 people tweeting or twittering on this network in Cuba. And the whole idea behind it was to create havoc and flash mobs and get people all riled up. Now this thing closed in 2012

1:02:04 Due to lack of funding, but this is a big story. Why would there be lack of funding? What does it cost to run a server in the background? Well here's what I think... Why do that when you have the real Twitter?! Who gives a crap! It's the same thing You can use the real Twitter And they started this in 2009 and it was probably a hedge at the time But yeah, you've got the real twitter which is also funded by The CIA State Department It's perfect Zunzunio I love this. I thought that was a perfect story and for once it's not coming from Snowden, which is even better Yes here is a apparently

1:02:49 The president of the Chinese Han Cho, the head of the Communist Party. You know that guy who was raised in the United... or not raised but he lived in the United States for a while. He's been floating around Europe doing deals and it's not reported much to US press. Who are we talking about here? Xi whatever his name is. Oh, Xi? Yeah! He was in France wasn't he? No well actually yes. He went to Netherlands and spent most of his time there. Hookers And then he and doing deals that there's a long report on CCTV on this but I have the best kind of the end of the report which tells all the deals. He did, he went there then he went to France for couple days and he went to Germany and he met with Merkel and then he went to Belgium where he met with Rumpoy in the rest and hiking or whatever. The prince yeah the king what are you? The King and then but here's what came of it is kind of interesting

1:03:39 We must uphold open markets, speed up negotiations on investment agreements actively explore the possibility of a free trade area and strive to achieve the ambitious goal of bringing two-way trade to a trillion US dollars by 2020. Politics aside, business was another focus on Xi's European tour. A number of business deals were signed including an order for 70 planes worth over 10 billion euros with Francis Airbus and a 1 billion euro deal for the German car company Daimler to expand its presence in China.

1:04:17 And during his four-nation tour of Europe, President Xi Jinping signed a number of agreements covering wide range of areas. China's dairy industry is said to receive expertise from the Netherlands. The two countries have signed a deal allowing Dutch experts to help China increase its annual milk production to 40 billion kilograms A food security system will be jointly built by Ely Group, one of China's largest dairy producers and Wageningen University of Netherlands. And China and France signed agreements worth 18 billion euros and this included the purchase of 70 Airbus planes from France. The two countries will also produce 1,000 civilian helicopters over 20 years

1:05:01 And during Xi's visit in Germany, the car company Daimler signed deals with Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation to expand the production capacity in Beijing and the two countries' central banks also inked an agreement allowing RMB-dominated payments to be cleared and settled in Frankfurt. During the visit in Brussels China and EU agreed to accelerate talks on free trade pact increase bilateral trade and investment You know, I know a little bit about the milk thing. The Netherlands of course is a dairy country and um... And i think we talked about on the show awhile back there was an actual shortage of milk for infants because the milk factories at that time-I don't think they were owned by the Chinese now there's a huge ownership stake in the Chinese in the Dutch dairy industry They basically sold all of the infant milk to China

1:05:57 And of course the government was like, whoa hold on a second because they literally could not get milk for infants in the Netherlands because typical Dutch don't give a crap about their own people. Just sell it to the Chinas and they're buying up everything! Now that Chinese have decided to increase our own production at home and I end the way they do business it seems to me with the irony this whole story is that they'll be exporting their milk into Hong Kong at some point in the future and I would also expect them to be building these giant jets eventually. The Chinese are not going to just sit on their laurels and let Boeing and Airbus build all of the passenger planes, so that will take a while but that's definitely gonna happen Do you think this has anything at all with the TPP which of course excludes China? Oh absolutely!

1:06:52 Well, that's interesting because I was and wait does what let me just mention a couple of things they were kind of in there You couldn't hear one. Was there gonna do some currency? Do some deals it's not going to be in US dollars international currencies worked with the central banks of Germany but there's also this discussion and I want to play another clip in a minute about this discussion with the Chinese to create these free trade zones. This is a little underlying kind of subtext to a bunch of stuff going on, these free trade zones are around there they do exist around the world and they allow people to move goods in an out without tariffs coming you know that's just a tariff-free zone it becomes a an attraction for international businesses it's something of a scam but

1:07:40 They're very popular. Well, it's a pass-through right? Yeah it's kind of a pass through but it becomes its own thing. It's a pass through... Can you give me an example of one of these free trade zones? I think Dubai is one of the places. Well yeah that would make sense But the one that's interested me the most is what Russia... this is not being reported by anybody. But Medvedev, Medvedev, Medvedev, you know that guy who used to be... Yeah! The Medvedev. Ex-president now he's a prime minister and switches roles with Putin There are two things there's this clip about him He wants to turn Crimea into a free trade zone which is very interesting but during this report comes from RT

1:08:24 During this report she pronounces his name a number of times and tell me if you could make out what it is that is there how his name supposed to be pronounced as I can't will make Crimea special economic zone with tax breaks for investors As far as we understand both Russian and foreign. This is what we heard from Russia's Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev who is in Crimea's capital Simferopol today. This region is not very attractive economically these days and of course this move, this decision is expected to help boost the regional economy. Dmitry Medvedev has come here to discuss the economic development but broader the integration of this new region into Russia's

1:09:05 political, social economic cultural life because today this is the main concern of not only Crimea's or Russian authorities but also local residents. Medvedev visit is a very significant one because Prime Minister is the first Russian high-ranking official to visit this region after historic referendum two weeks ago here that made these piece of land part of the Russian Federation but we expect more visits like this one to come. I couldn't understand a word she says. Anyway there's free trade zones, i'm looking them up they're all over the place and many of them within a country like Egypt has nine little cities that's because of course because at the Suez Canal

1:09:52 That's not listed. Yeah, no it is the Suez Public Free Zone Okay Are you done with this because I want to hook into this on something well No, okay? There's a lot of this seems to me to have something to do with with the dollar with the petrodollar Yes, and this is weird. I'm actually going to tie this into Malaysian flight MH370 Oh bro okay yeah it shows all yours If you think you can pull this off and it's the first half of the show You know? Yeah no I think this is first half of the show This is not second half because It actually has very little to do with what happened To the plane itself

1:10:34 Which is interesting because even we had a, you know we had a shooting here at Fort Hood which is great for the president. You know he came out immediately oh I was so sorry about what's happening and please don't talk about Obamacare! What it's good we have a shooting but it didn't take long of course there's not a terror shooting It's just couple of guys who were pissed at each other started shooting up the place. We want to point out by the way that because people came in with this six week? Six week no-no the six week thing is May 1st This is not six weeks. Every murder and you know guy jumping off a bridge, it's got nothing to do with the six-week cycle neither does this. And this is just people shooting each other up in a gun free zone where no one could stop the guy. In Texas? How about gun free zone on a military base in Texas doesn't get any crazier anyway but they're right back to the plane

1:11:27 And the reason why I asked you about the TPP, this is the Trans-Pacific Partnership which is essentially an agreement for a free trade zone with a number of countries in Asia. And I believe that this maybe not what so what happened to flight 370. All we actually know is we stopped receiving the ADS-B as it was traveling due north, northeast towards Beijing and everything else after that is speculation you know bullcrap as far just people making stuff up if the story has changed a million times but The first story we got

1:12:07 that somehow right after they said goodnight, they turned sharp left actually went not just west but do West Southwest towards the Strait of Malacca and then continued all the way up that that straight. Now you might actually if you're able to as you're listening to this show you might want to bring up a map of Malaysia there are a number of strategic maritime passages in the world. Panama Canal, the Strait of Aden and the Suez Canal and the Malacca Strait. The Malacca Strait which goes right past Malaysia down through Indonesia that is the only connection it's the most direct route for China to ship its stuff to Europe into the West

1:12:58 It is, I think 40% of all the world's shipping trade goes through there and it's obviously strategically important. Now the TPP has been in negotiation for a while ever since the Obama administration came up with the pivot to Asia and the one country that has been making problems about this that has been a thorn in the eye of this agreement is yeah Malaysia Now the minute this plane apparently had turned left, we had the I think it's the 7th fleet

1:13:35 Steam right in there to save the day. We brought in, we brought in the guided missile destroyer the USS Kidd. You brought in another destroyer the USS Pinckney. We have P3 and P8 anti-submarine planes flying overhead and once that they were positioned oh no it's Australia Indian Ocean Kazakhstan anywhere but there And if you look at, well actually I'll play a clip or two here. This Malaysian thorn in the eye stuff really started just only a month ago

1:14:16 Which has really been, and it's about tobacco and some other financial things. And they're really blocking it. And you recall there was this other guy... What's his name? Now this is the trade route from usually Guangdong and the southern provinces that have all the shipping companies Yes. ...and Hong Kong to Europe. This got nothing do with stuff they trade with us. No, Europe! I'm saying Europe But it's but 40% of all shipping trade goes through here. Anwar Ibrahim is the opposition guy, the CIA shill who has all these bank accounts you recall with all the CIA millions of dollars he's the opposition and they tried to throw him back into jail on these trumped up charges that he slept with his driver or his wife's driver

1:15:07 And I think this guy is waiting in the wings and the main thing that has to happen, because we need...and this is a total. This is how we do it in America We like to destabilize governments. We like to make them look like fools who might make them look like they're incompetent and it seems to be working if you listen to the prestitutes reporting on it. Cultural question here as well It's not as open a society as we have here There's also not a lot of experience handling a crash of this magnitude. Of course, this is unprecedented. Right? I mean there is that Arthur because you know they also had originally indicated it was the co-pilot who spoke all right good night now not only are they changing the words but also saying well it might not have been him right they're doing a forensic investigation but

1:15:51 Again, why would that have happened? I mean do you think this is really just because this is a society not used to a free press well in Malaysia the dissemination of information Is controlled by the ruling party. This by the way as a CIA Retired CIA guy who's giving us this this gem of information The authorities are just not used to having their words questioned. And I think that carried over into how this investigation was handled, but more importantly bottom line here is from the get-go this was abject incompetence. Incompetence at every level This is the meme that it's okay. I think you're absolutely correct on this, this is when going on since the original since the plane first disappeared they went right after these guys yep uh went after their competency their secretiveness and now it's got yeah this is pre-revelizing and we have a shill in the game

1:16:45 You've probably heard about this guy who apparently a black picture with XIF data showed up and with the tweet that he said he had hid his iPhone in his ass. And he was now somewhere with a hood over his head but he was able to tweet this picture, it doesn't get any crazier! The guy's name is Philip Wood And so this is the story that is roaming around. Oh, he literally and serious I've seen some serious reporting that he hid an iPhone in his anus This is literally the words being used if you can do that I mean right off the bat You should be president of the world if you can fit that in your bud But anyway Phillip Woods partner Sarah Bajic BAJC

1:17:35 partner. She has been on every single news program, I mean if you Google her and look at video she's done everything and this is the most recent...I won't play the whole thing unless you want to hear it but this is the most recent moment that she was on television, on news talking about, of course the Malaysian government. Now listen to the cadence, listen to how she speaks this woman should be distraught about her partner's loss or not knowing She also has an IFB in which she keeps touching because someone is talking in her ear Well it's starting to feel like its intentional series of distractions is what it feels like You know they spent a week looking at one place Oops! That's the wrong place And then they shifted to another because of evidence

1:18:23 And then that's the wrong place, so they shifted again. And at the end of this prior shift... ...the government was so certain that they had the right location... ...that they made a pronouncement that the flight was down and everybody was dead." But now they've got new evidence. So apparently the old evidence wasn't correct, so they must have to withdraw that original statement because they can't be certain anymore so now there's a new play... You know it's just like a magician playing tricks on the audience Is this how you talk when your distraught with your life partner has been missing for 28 days? No! This is rehearsed as woman and actress That must be incredibly difficult for you emotionally Oh its the BBC

1:19:01 It's frustrating. I think we are all being... You know, if Nikki was gone for 28 days here is what I would not be going you know it's really frustrating unless i had hookers all over the place Then you'd have a smile on your face. Who talks like this? Hoodwinked at this point. If they end up coming up with real wreckage of the plane, then I'll take my words back because it is possible that I'm just at a frustration point that I am no longer being rational but... You sound pretty damn rational lady! Too rational It seems ridiculous that a flight that size could have evaded all scrutiny in today's world

1:19:47 So let's just talk about this and then I want to discuss you. Let's just talk about the scrutiny briefly because finally someone, and i have to give Candy Crowley credit because...I don't know how she gets away that she gets to go off script all the time and I do appreciate her for that Here she is with fine boggle asking about satellite images. Because I wanted to ask you about these satellite pictures because there's a lot of question when you see them, they're kind of fuzzy You can't really tell here's one now, look down and you can see stuff in the ocean. I want to compare it to something else which is a satellite picture of the Bin Laden compound in Pakistan

1:20:27 That, you can see trucks. You can see housing Now I'm told a lot of this has to do with the angle of the satellite that you get blurry The more out-of-angle the satellite is But there are a lot of people who don't believe that the US and others with sophisticated technology Can actually see better than the pictures we're seeing Well, I think it depends on the satellite and the resolution that's provided by the satellite. And how sophisticated the satellite is. Is this Feinstein? Yeah! She doesn't know anything... But I think what i just said suffices. The point is... Not suffices, shut up! Yeah exactly the point is everyone knows this has bull crap these satellite images and so this is my conclusion it is irrelevant what happened to the plane but the way this actress is talking I actually don't think it was blown to bits

1:21:22 The whole, we need to obfuscate and you know my view is that the Pentagon knows where every single craft is whether it's a plane or submarine whatever they know where it is. They need to obfuscate this for as long as possible, keep it going for as long as possible and keep making the Malaysian government look like idiots. And they're doing themselves no favors by the way and now you're seeing in news reports that there's always been a corrupt government so before you know it We're going to see some kind of anger, something's going to happen. But for sure this is intended whether our own government had anything to do with the disappearance or not they are using that to pressure the Malaysian government and I think there's going to be all kinds of riots and shit going on for them to sign up with the TPP

1:22:16 Let's why is the question I have to ask because this is China's little conduit that they use now Is it the screw with what? I mean then why answer based on our show's thesis. Is this the screw at the Chinese? We will we'll have control over the Strait of Malacca, but how are we gonna manage to do that well the minute there in okay if you look at the TPP and Right? Yeah. The TPP is all about the free trade zone and China's not a part of the TPP, so then we get to negotiate the TPP or the TPP partners get to negotiate with anyone who wants to come through the Strait of Malacca It's truly about control of this shipping lane and we've got our destroyers in there right now just for extra measure

1:23:06 I can't find any logical flaw in this idea. And it makes sense because we've been doing this sort of thing to the Chinese every chance we get because they're so aggressive. So what are they doing in return? They've got this crazy rail line to Europe which works, that stuff takes 18 days but stuff is now arriving They're shipping stuff by train. That's their hedge Okay, well that hedge is gonna probably be worth... I think it's more than a hedge i think they're going to rely on that Well they will have to But its so easy to blow up a track Yeah You know because what's gonna happen is the train has to go through a lot of places that are not friendly but also this list came out about which movies have been financed by Department of Defense

1:23:54 And did you see that list? No. All the James Bond movies, there's a lot of dumb... The typical ones, any war movie They put some producer money in? Oh yeah! Big time But the one that caught my eye was the Captain Phillips movie The Tom Hanks-Captain Phillips piracy movie Right This is by design because piracy. Who goes out there and protects against the pirates in the TPP zone? We will! And you know, it's just as easy to unleash some pirates on some China stuff... this is not beyond what we do, what our elites do John. This is totally right up our alley I like it, I'm liking it. We need to control this. So if I'm saying

1:24:45 While everyone's looking for the plane, let's take a look at what's happening on the ground in Malaysia. We already have the riots whenever they do a new press conference that's what you see continuously people screaming there are armed guards everywhere I predict riots in the street created on Twitter of course riots in the street in Malaysia calling for this government to step down and then it's even possible that we'll have our guy Anwar bin Ibrahim step up again and say here I am fellows, I'm ready to take over. And as it turns out one of the pilots was a supporter of Anwar Ibrahim just for good little measure there just nice little good measure on top. If he was alive today! He would have voted for me exactly. I'm gonna have to take a look at his train again

1:25:36 There was just a news story I had in the show notes the other day where there was a... The Chinese build stuff fast so they can get this train done probably within the next five years. No, it's already running some- no something arrived here uh Chinese Train Goods Arrival Something arrived in Germany the other day From the Chinese train? Yes, um freight train Here it is Under some other lines because they haven't built the tracks all the way across There's no way Well, I do have this is from August 2013 but that's not the one that we're talking about probably. Let me just take a look on the book of knowledge here it was a story that showed up just the other day... Here we go! Chinese president congratulates Douceburg Silk Road This is Z again. Z was there when the train arrived. I'm opening up the link here

1:26:32 During his European tour, Chinese President Xi Jinping took time to visit and celebrate the arrival of the Yuxinu train. Oh that wasn't reported by the Chinese news! That's interesting... Which connects the cities of Chongqing, central China and Duisburg Germany The new intermodal connection to Europe's largest inland harbor will just take 16 days to reach Chinese mainland It is hoped that the new link will greatly strengthen economic ties between the two nations There you go So it arrived! 16 days Which is faster than a ship. What is the town that is, what is the port of exit from China? The Chongqing Oh those oh that town with the Q Yeah Chongqing yeah That's a huge monstrous city I've always wanted to visit it's like one of biggest cities in the world At the moment the port of Duisburg is the only port in Europe that offers several transcontinental train connections to China

1:27:29 Oh, so that's what they're talking about. That's why my clip talking about the free trade zone wants to make that border-free trade zone for China? Bingo! Yeah...that makes sense So this is their...that's how they're combating the TPP but I think it takes awhile to start up a whole rail industry and as you point out having pirates on a ship is one thing but have Al Qaeda blowup your rail line is another Which is another American invention, by the way. We're great at train robberies! So here's the Wikipedia entry as I... Ow! As a horrible name, the Jixnu Railway. Y-U-X-I-N-O-U A freight rail route linking the southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing with Duisburg Germany passes through Alatwa Pass into Kazakhstan moves through Russia Belarus and Poland before arriving in Duisburg The railway is part of a growing

1:28:34 a rail network connecting China and Europe along the new Silk Road, which we've been tracking. We've been tracking all of this stuff. All Candy Crowley can do is say hey these satellite images look fuzzy! Yeah we're just a little podcast ladies and gentlemen um so be on the lookout for that to happen I think that you know the TPP thing is big it's been the whole Obama administration's focus the pivot to Asia and it literally is up to Malaysia now who are just they're being annoying about They're being annoying. Let me see, free Malaysia... I have a couple of stories in the show notes if you can go do some research. Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement negotiations are far from nearing completion due to the continuous existence of red lines in the negotiation process Malaysian International Trade and Industry Minister Mustafa Mohammed look for him to get two to the head said the red lines which are controversial and sensitive to several nations including Malaysia have to be addressed even before talking about concluding the agreement

1:29:33 Let me see what the formal deadline has been extended many times. A key stumbling block was said to be US's refusal to yield on the contentious investor state dispute settlement clause of the agreement, which critics contend would open signatory states to legal action by private corporations if any law was deemed harmful to a firm's commercial interests." And then there somewhere else I read about something about tobacco that they were pissed off about Interesting, it's running through Russia and the Russian Railways Logistics sends first container train from China to Europe so Russia isn't on this deal. Of course they are! Why do you think we're messing with our buddy there? Yeah that's part of it definitely You know what these are macro stuff man This is really really macro Someone else will be a new Putin Hold on Oh thats Putin That's no good

1:30:40 this is really, really macro stuff and it's...it really truly is connected. No I would say that's probably correct and what's also interesting is there's a the Chinese and the Malaysian Chinese are very interesting couple of ethnic groups. The Malaysian Chinese are considered to be the most ruthless as capitalists right? And they have Always had bumped heads with both the Malaysian government and China itself, and the Malaysian government always has been trying to Rouse them to get him out Because it's a mix. It's a it's a multi-culti country And they there's Chinese guys just dominate everything but isn't also doesn't the us also? Claim that Malaysia is full of terrorists Indonesia more than Malaysia hmm But I think it probably comes up in the conversation

1:31:40 Well, interesting. I do know...I went to Malaysia and they just in the...I went on that one of the Khobar Towers at Twin Towers which are gorgeous and they were selling t-shirts in the market where they also sell some of the absolute finest in Malaysia has some of the finest DVD copies and they have some of their absolute finest fake watches. I mean these really are much better than anything I've ever seen But they had these t-shirts that showed the towers and said, we still have our twin towers. Wow! Wow! Offensive I would shut up over that. It was so offensive. Hey Bloomberg says about the Malaysia failing to manage crisis exposes leadership limit Yeah no i think you're onto something here this is a pre-rebellization yeah yeah

1:32:38 But the thing that I like is we have the guy, and this was one of our producers pointed this out immediately said hey you know on the very day this plane disappeared or the day before The guy who's been the main opposition Who had been let out of jail they're trying to throw him back in jail again Anwar bin Ab ibrahim And he you know. We've seen his accounts He's got millions of dollars and in Israel and New York Geneva Yeah, he would be the guy to step in or at least a candidate to step in. So what happened to the plane? To me at this point even if it wasn't already is completely irrelevant but If you're talking about actual value You know to get rid of a plane to close this deal yeah nuke that thing melt it into never retrievable bits

1:33:38 Then and then to have this shill woman walking around hmm, and she's bad. She's a bad actor She didn't she not even doing you know even trying all right? Well I think that's I think that's gonna be the position hmM my work is done here Yeah No That was a good one I give you a 10 for that it's uh It becomes more obvious And I think if we look at everything in these terms as it unfolds will We'll see what follows. I've got a couple of clips that are interesting the Russian troops removed they're pulling the Russian troops back which is of course what they said they were gonna do so this

1:34:21 becoming a moot point, the Ukrainian-Crimean situation seems to be falling off to the wayside. Let's move on now for weeks they've been gathering close to the Ukrainian border stoking fears of a full scale invasion but now Russia has started pulling back some of the thousands of troops stationed just on its side of the frontier The defence ministry in Moscow has confirmed it's ordered one battalion to withdraw. The entire force is believed to total as many as 40,000. Now their presence over recent weeks has added tensions as Moscow and the West argue over Crimea

1:34:57 This latest news comes as NATO representatives are getting together in Brussels to talk about how they might respond to the Ukraine crisis. We can get more on that meeting now from our Brussels correspondent Maeve McMahon. Hello there, Maeve! Now can you tell us how this news from Russia might impact on the NATO meeting? Good morning, Candace. Well indeed this could have an impact on today's meeting and change of course the tone of the meeting and indeed the outcome but it is not likely to have a huge impact on the way that NATO has been dealing with the crisis up till now And we could see NATO foreign ministers decide today to intensify the training of Ukrainian military officers and of course sending more troops to beef up NATO's presence on the Russian border The thing is what NATO

1:35:42 Yeah, they went on. Uh yeah I know this is a NATO doesn't care what the Russians do there's you're gonna do what they're gonna Do well carry kit? I'm sorry You know it was saber-rattled to get two Russians to do something stupid well Kerry said something interesting He had a meeting it was the US EU Energy Council meeting which he did with Man she's wearing ponchos now the no chin monster The high priestess of the executive leather order, Cathy Ashton. She's got a poncho on? Ugh! That is not a good look... Ponchos. So she and Carrie meet

1:36:23 And I rescind on my ever thinking that this was about exporting United States natural gas. This is what's really going on. No nation should use energy to stymie a people's aspirations, it should not be used as a weapon It's in the interest of all of us to be able to have adequate energy supplies critical to our economies, critical to our security, and critical to the prosperity of our people. So we are taking important steps today in order to make it far more difficult for people to deploy that tool and we're working in lockstep to help Ukraine bring natural gas in from Poland and Hungary and develop a route through Slovakia.

1:37:09 So here's the idea. They want to reverse the gas flow, and bring in gas from the EU into Ukraine so they're talking about is it technically possible to reverse this pipeline? This is how nutty it is but what's really happening I think the original thing that we saw is Chevron is in there fracking in Ukraine Then we're just cutting Russia out of, it's probably Russian gas because you go in. You know fracking is not just going straight down its going off to the side and going out and were going way under the borders We are gonna be taking the Russian oil straight from Ukraine from our fracking installations And were just cutting Russia off right there That's what happening! Now you still get to have Because how international markets work with commodities You can call it Texas Gas if you want It's a swap

1:38:05 It's Texas gas that we're selling to Europe because we'll just swap it out for the gas that were stealing from Russia through Ukraine. It is very obvious, returning the pipelines around the whole...it's a big game and its only about that And I think when you look at what Putin doing with Crimea which he pointed out It's just a resetting that they you know the Dutch phrase. They're moving the pieces around on the chest there They're literally what what they are accusing Putin of and they're all doing is they are redrawing The lines on the map this is a this is a total reset if who gets what? Who's with who? Yeah with NATO this bullcrap of the cooperation

1:38:51 NATO just seems to be a bad actor in this whole thing. We also reaffirmed to Foreign Minister Deshchitsya that just as Ukraine has stood in partnership for the past two decades, it's important that NATO stand in partnership now with Ukraine and we endorsed a range of measures in order to do so You want to hear those range of measures? I'll bet they're beauties. A reminder that the stability and security in NATO's neighborhood requires... It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, beautiful day in NATO's neighborhood! The stability and security in NATO's neighborhood requires all our constant vigilance To that end today I made clear

1:39:41 that many members of the alliance now need to step up defense spending. As we plan for NATO's summit in Wales this September, each of us must demonstrate by the decisions that we take and the budget commitments that we make that we are committed to each other And by our shared security and our shared prosperity and our shared values, we will continue to maintain that strength. Crank it up ladies and gentlemen! We got sales to do John Kerry's wearing his brown shoes and is selling our weaponry good work yeah well somebody's gotta do it good work basically told him to start buying our stuff

1:40:26 But that's great. I have to say, that's great! It's on sale 30% off because of the price of the euro We got a bargain we got a really good deal for you. Versus it's breaking them. They keep that euro up that high they're never gonna completely go broke. I have a clip about the rise in sales tax in Japan that kind of... on France 24 and they thought..they kind of said well you know went out but geez look what we're paying Okay, Stephen. Some news from Japan now... a key tax rise that's hitting? Yeah in fact the first time in 17 years the Japan sales tax increases it goes up today from 5% to 8%, on almost all goods bought by consumers It is the latest economic measure adopted by the Japanese government under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe aimed at dragging the world third largest economy out of its deflationary spiral

1:41:19 and sluggish economic growth. There are fears that it could discourage consumer spending, something we're watching closely as time goes on." I'm wondering how that compares to sales tax here in France? It's an awful lot lower but has been traditionally in Japan for a long time. Absolutely okay well how is that impacted on the markets? Well trading on the Nikkei is in negative territory as consumers get used to that new increased taxes down just two tenths of a percent having seen some impact in Tokyo there... Wow! I don't know if these, you know we're in a worldwide depression and the thing you don't want to do is jack up taxes. It seems to me 5%, 8% whatever it is...I mean France's 20%. I've always had the feeling that the Japanese even everyone looks at their economy and says oh its crap but I was feeling they got doing some trickery somehow. Is that just because I've always felt like they got something going on that we understand? No everybody understands everything the whole thing everything is rigged

1:42:17 Speaking of which, I've started reading the new Flash Boys book. Oh yeah! The one with Michael Lewis? Yeah And what's interesting is that I had drinks the other night by my invitation You had...what was it again? I had dreams Drinks You had dr- you Yes Okay I had three which is over served for me You had three?! No no no I know With a guy from New York who has moved here with his wife And he's a banker. Actually, his original job was to go to Davo and all the big summits and everything... ...and convince countries—he basically would raise money for South American countries. Kind of the precursor to the economic hitman

1:43:12 And you know he moved to Austin for a number of reasons and now I think he deals with the regulator. So, I was able to ask him a couple things about this SDR thing and what he thought about that but he's like hmmm... He is not so sure it's gonna happen that fast but the things that he did tell me The way he saw like, you know, we get this Basel III and all these crazy things that are happening in international finance. He says for one thing the EU banks are completely screwed and the American banks are going to get only bigger. He predicts they'll be double the size they are in just a couple of years. Well there's nothing to stop them. No not at all! Being too big to fail didn't do anything change nothing now they're gonna be twice as big to fail yep

1:44:01 He says that's the only and so anyway, so which bank does he like the best? I have a stock tip. Well, I don't want to disclose too much because there wouldn't be okay However heat so we did start speak specifically about this book And about the he says the book is bullshit Is it really it only tells you a little bit yeah There's a speed and all that but really what's going on according to him is the way the flash traders work, when they see something go up like a big Unilever or something like that. What they then do is they immediately start going to all the smaller stuff that has to follow naturally and that's really where all the money is made in these much smaller cap stocks

1:44:46 that will naturally follow the market movement of the really big ones. So, that's where it's anticipating what smaller things you're going to buy or trade based upon the big moves that you made which he finds completely legal by the way and I think I have to agree. Well, I think most of this stuff is legal. Yeah but the book is pretty interesting about how they built this fiber and made as straight as possible to get a 13 millisecond connect between Chicago and New York, it's interesting. But according to him it is kind of exaggerated. Not exaggerated but like a comedy version It's not really what's going on There are lesser important news

1:45:40 There is a public relations campaign going on and I think it's interesting. It wasn't, I personally say it was a public relations campaign but the mainstream media of course has been having trouble picking up on this although I did get a clip and I just want to play as a prelude. France 24 Kind of I just kind of thought of our show when they played this clip about the this clown that's floating around the internet Yeah, yeah, it's a creepy clown story Creepy clown has been spotted lurking around New York City Staten Island and web users have been wondering who is behind the mask

1:46:17 Yay! Well that wasn't the only err... Promotion running around we had a native ad that went all the way to the White House It looks like it might fit him better than me though As it turns out, the guy had just signed a deal with Samsung two days earlier.

1:47:15 And he tweets it as, shot with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. You know I'm getting tired of the selfie meme It's like you can't go on Twitter without seeing all these selfies and it's like they do it on television They do it on Jay Leno or not Jay Leno but uh The new guy All these guys are doing these selfies and now they have a certain distinctive look because which means its shot with a cheap camera real close and there everywhere and is all because of Ellen I believe that, I mean selfies are not because of Ellen because they've been going on forever but this pop- this sudden popularity in the pop culture is extremely annoying and it is and what's the point of it? It is okay. I'll tell you what the point is

1:48:00 For years, people have been inundated with celebrities and these celebrities of course all look good. They're in great situations and the selfie movement which has been going on ever since camera phones you know a front-facing camera of cameras on cellphones ebb Twitter quite honestly is a part of that Actually before that because the early phones didn't have the front-facing camera, but people still picked up the technique They would shoot this selfie. Look at it again and we have the selfie in the mirror But for the self you know what? It is a way for people to feel good about their sad fucking pathetic life Because most people's lives are ugly and sad and pathetic

1:48:44 Most and even people who are really happy have ugly, sad, pathetic moments. However when you get to reshoot five times because you'll see that just watch it's not one click no no You shoot five six oh my mouth wasn't right Oh My butt didn't look right all of my eyes were closed And now you have the built-in filters you see so you've got it is Glossing over and making people feel good during this time of extreme duress and depression. And sharing that with... Well, it's like Instagram? Yes! And sharing that with people so they can get a like. It is what it is. It is drugs. It is drugs. It is brilliantly crafted I don't think it was even necessary no one really figured it out in the Instagram and of course Facebook the Like and the selfie it's part of the same thing

1:49:41 And I see when people are more depressed, people...I know! When they are sad or depressed they post more happy fucking selfies. I'm so happy look at me beautiful and look at my dinner look at my breakfast look at my dog look at my cat And it's because people are mad and angry, and mainly sick. Because the mainstream media is giving them sickness and lies... ...and they're being poisoned! Can you play your little theme there? I'll do that for a second. Adam C Curry's pet peeve of the day. I'm gonna show my school by donating to Noah Jessup Imagine all the people who could deal with us Oh yeah that'd be fab

1:50:28 The donation segment after that outburst.

2:05:06 Another twitch stick you gotta stop it. I'm sorry But i'm really mad as hell And you're not gonna take it anymore well yeah You know It's one thing it's hard enough to only have really one browser in the world that is not this far as we know Not spying on you, but they have the lgbtq qia ap mafia Now now move people towards Google Chrome is an outrage I have a clip from of all places France 24. Oh, I had I was playing a clip but I'll play your clip where

2:05:48 I like the French Slip of the mouth Let's finish up on a lovely note with an online dating website OkCupid by the way biggest native advertising campaign. I've ever seen in the world Users might find a bit of an unusual message facing them when they log off Yeah, this is the latest response to the appointment of a man called Brendan Eich to be chief executive of Mozilla which is the company that makes the Firefox web browser. Now this over Eich's support for a law to outlaw gay marriage in California 2008 From Monday users of OKCupid who access the site through Firefox are getting this message you can see on screen now They're saying because Eich opposes equal rights for gay couples The company says they would therefore prefer their user

2:06:43 don't use Mozilla software to access their site. They're not actually blocking them? No, no you can click through the message but because OkCupid gets around 3 billion page views every month around 12% of those come from Firefox it will affect quite a large proportion of OkCupid's users and it's actually the latest backlash against Brendan Ickes' appointment six board members of Mozilla have resigned after he was promoted to CEO so a story I'm sure we'll hear much more about. I didn't actually know that this is about the six board members that resigned I didn't know that either, but let me stop right here and stop you from continuing with a misuse of the term native advertising. This was a public relations campaign perhaps but there-but native advertising is specific to people who pay for an article to be run. Agreed There's no payment involved in this Agreed agreed I'm-I misrepresented the term You're right Right

2:07:40 I didn't know that the board guys quit either and i don't see what the point of the whole thing was. I think this was a ludicrous... Well here's what I think, who cares? Well this is once again and you're right it is a public relations campaign. I've never heard of OkCupid before in my life ever never heard of it And as far as I know, this guy was a co-founder of the Mozilla Foundation. He's been around for awhile. He's been around for awhile? Yeah. He is the guy who supposedly...I don't know this for an absolute fact but he is the guy who invented JavaScript which is plaguing the world. Well for that, I hate him! But I do hate him for that

2:08:23 This is once again the gay mafia being misused or the gay mafia misusing the LGBTQQIAAP community for commercial interest. And it is this, it is ludicrous and people jumping on board with go ahead you should all use Google products. All go to Chrome, use Safari please do all of that really good. Who knows Google may even be behind this? That would be something. No one says a word about Obama going to a country where they kill people for being gay, but let oh well here's something I can do! I can delete Firefox from my computer!! It's despicable as a bi-curious queer and questioning male

2:09:20 It is. I just thought it was really uh... No, it's-it's despicable. And then all these guys, all these self righteous... Assholes! Assholes! Yeah they're all over the place. Oh, oh, oh, you can't use that because he hates the gays just because of who someone loves Now it's not just who someone loves. That really pisses me off. I'm sick and tired of that too If someone says, it's just because of who I love. No! It's not just who you love... Define Love. Someone asked me that the other day. Someone asked you what? Define Love. To define love?! Why would anyone ask you this? That's irrelevant but it's.. What I'm saying is when the President of The United States can say

2:10:08 It's crazy to, or anyone could say it's crazy to be able to fire someone just because of who they love. What does that mean? Define love for me what is that? Or shut up makes me you know I got no problem with anything anybody does but this misuse to promote a dating website yeah and chrome Yeah, it's really really really... It can't go any lower and people don't see it. They're all in on it! Yeah I agree And this gay thing man is gonna be used for everything Everything If something is against LGBTQQIAAP boom you're good to go They were smart maybe this may be okay Wow

2:11:00 That little thing you just did, mark the time. It was unbelievable! I couldn't copy it. What we should be doing is we should find out a way to prove and of course research dollars will be necessary that climate change is killing LGBTQIAPA. It's killing the gays if we can prove that people oh my god We have to stop this climate change, it's killing the gays! Now yeah I could use an appletini myself. While we're on the topic of public relations i have to say...I don't know who is behind this? I know its not the Inuit Indians who have gone after Ellen DeGeneres

2:12:00 a very interesting little spat that's going on and I'm totally on the side of the Indians with this. The Inuits say that you know they part of their culture is to eat seal meat and it's just like eating what's there's you needing seal meeting eating beef or whatever of course Ellen is, I believe, a vegetarian so there's that agenda going on actually she gave a bunch of money to the anti-seal for anti-seal eating Canadians and so the Inuits came out with a bunch of propaganda that was obviously directed by some public relations agency because it is way too slick to be anything else. And I don't know if it's fur companies behind the

2:12:42 with the money but somebody paid something and it's a really interesting little piece here so... Posing in seal skin furs and posting the photo to social networks. Canadian Inuit have been defending seal hunting through these selfies, and protesting host Ellen DeGeneres' decision to highlight an anti-seal hunting charity on Oscars night by donating the one and a half million dollars raised by that Oscar selfie, the most retweeted photo of all time to an animal welfare group that campaigns against seal hunts. The Seal Free movement began on Twitter when Alethea Anakuk-Barrow posted a picture with a caption I am an Inuit seal meat eater and my fur is ethical and humane

2:13:25 The filmmaker has also shared a letter sent to Ellen DeGeneres on Facebook. She explains that seal hunting is regulated nowadays and is important for Arctic peoples Other Inuit campaigners have opted to post photos illustrating the reality of seal hunting and the cultural and financial benefits of what they see as an ethical and sustainable choice Did I hear it were, the Seal Fee? Is that what it is now? The Seal Fee No, it's a seal fee. Selfie! No but it's a seal fee Yeah might as well be a seal fee That's what they say It's a selfie about seals is a seal fee Yeah, seal fee I like it Whatever the case is I'm glad that they're standing up to this bullying that Ellen DeGeneres is doing and in the way I'm looking at it I'm saying Ellen Degeneres hates the native peoples

2:14:18 Absolutely, because the native peoples have their rights. They were here before we ever showed up I'm gonna go with this Yeah We were in Europe and we come over here and roust these people kill most of them poison them with bad blankets And now we're telling him what they can eat These people have their rights to the seal, a seal meat and seal furs. They've been doing this way before we showed up what gives her the right to be so anti-native peoples? What is wrong with her? Well she knows a lot more about seafood than anybody Oh please. I'm sorry. You know, I immediately got that joke but you glossed over it the first time. I don't want to honor it. No, no. Want to play this part two of this and a little bit more? Trying to show its not necessarily an atrocious and inhumane act as Ellen DeGeneres claims on her website

2:15:07 17 year old Inuk Kilak Enarik Staus has produced a video in which she says Ellen DeGeneres is helping spread misinformation about a practice, which is simply a means of survival. In her part of the world where seals provide food and clothes for families that can't necessarily afford to go to the stores. Thanks for leaving the whole stinger on the end there. Listen, Sealfee. I heard it right. Sealfee? So that's what they're calling it? Yeah supporters of seal hunt say it with a hashtag Sealfee Nice! Oh you did hear it right then. One that was wrong. Sealfee photo sets off online backlash from seal hunt opponents

2:15:56 Oh, this of course stems back to the days of fur. They were clubbing baby seals for their fur and whatever Yeah that's what she's got in her brain She still remembers the you know they're clubbing the baby seal I mean hey get over it yeah Celebrities make these mistakes all the time but they did the way I understood them here's what I understood She gave the million and a half dollars that she apparently made from doing the Samsung ad, which was what that selfie was. Right because Samsung paid her to use the Samsung camera and then of course she... She got backlash! She got backlash because she then posted with the iPhone and everyone knew it was bullshit And so in order not to look bad Because let's face it whenever celebrities are actually up front and say hey I made a million and a half dollars for taking that picture

2:16:49 And I'm sure that some people in the picture, like the poor girl who won the Oscar. What's her name? I don't know. Salaka Nuhani, you know from the girl... He doesn't get any money! She's probably saying hey Ellen where is my money? All i got is a stupid statue and you got a million and half bucks?! No no this is not going to stand so then she had like make good on this by the way that I've had this happen so many times but I took big companies to court and sued them and in Holland Europe it's even worse You know, they stole my pictures published them without permission and made money off it. I sued them and when I win people say well we think that you should give that to charity what is that? And so yeah oh it happens all the time if you have bills to pay lady like Donald Trump I'll sue you over there but give the money to charity this it always has to go to charities screw that! I'm a charity case with my Tourette's

2:17:53 So she chooses, she messes it up. Then she's the just oh what can I do? Fuck seals yeah do that! Yeah no but your point is right it was a mistake your point as well made but seal fee I like that It's well-made Hey this um okay I want to give you What was who was Walt Mossberg and then did they work for The Wall Street Journal? Yeah They left? Yeah they'd left to start their own thing because They're business people at heart. I don't know what they think is that working? Do you think that there's anything out in us for the Wall Street Journal has tech reporters, oh my god this is the Wall Street Journal isn't as an actual publication with like real money right yeah it was part of the Rupert Murdoch Empire so they got plenty even if they're losing money they can have plenty of money This is the state of technology journalism on The Wall Street Journal

2:18:56 And what you're going to hear is a guy explaining not only how TOR works and what it is, but also how the government is in cahoots with TOR. This is a video they have on their website that goes along with their story and its two guys Just baffled me well There's a there's a browser that's become very popular called Tor and it has some legitimate. Are you hooked already? Browser called let's listen to the whole thing well

2:19:32 There's a browser that has become very popular called Tor, and it has some legitimate uses and some illegitimate uses. And what it does is masks the identity of the user's computer when he or she is visiting a website So in a lot of cases its become popular among criminals who are hacking trading pirated material and in a lot of cases that law enforcement has been interested in child pornography. So we've seen a couple of cases now recently where... By the way, standard go-to child pornography? The FBI Homeland Security and others have been able to basically lift up this get around this sort of cloak of anonymity and manage to identify certain alleged criminals

2:20:16 They're usually doing that though not by finding some technical way through this software but by exploiting mistakes that users make and some of those mistakes are highly technical, but in a lot of ways it's applying old-fashioned police work to very new technology here. I think at the beginning this browser was sort of a dead end for investigators they would see that Someone was using it and they would say, you know that's a black box. We can't figure out who is on the other end That's exactly how it went down. That's exactly how it works Yes yes And that would be the end of the investigation Oh yeah Now though they've spent time including spent time talking to some of the people who work on Tor It's a non-profit group that runs the source code

2:21:01 that runs the source code. And they've explained, they've learned that there are lots of vulnerabilities that they didn't know about because if someone is very careful they can pretty much hide their identity through this thing But if they're not, then they can usually make a mistake. And there are cases where even very sophisticated users, very sophisticated hackers have eventually slipped up That is the state of technology reporting ladies and gentlemen Okay stop the presses No I'm telling you that I am not going to continue this show It's gonna be one of those rare opportunities where somebody actually gets two clips of The Day in one show

2:21:40 I don't know what, I'm not worthy but i do want to thank my team. I want to thank my producers and managers everybody over at Warner. What's that guy? He is the technology reporter! There are two guys...I can't even talk about how dumb this is It's outrageous. And it is in the Wall Street Journal. Now, the takeaways are interesting that the people at Torb, the nonprofit group who is running The Source Code which of course includes the known sex maniac I.O. error Jacob Applebaum who pretends like he's a part of the team but he's really just a spokeshole for The Outfit

2:22:29 They are basically helping the feds who funded them. It just baffles me that this is technology reporting we're getting. You know, like BBC News... I'm just gonna do a couple of tech things here because it's too funny. BBC News is very happy to report that Yahoo has encrypted their data centers so everything flows between their data centers is now encrypted? Who cares?! What does that even prove!? Yeah! Oh, that's part of uh..I think there's a quote probably from Marissa Meyer Yeah, our goal is to encrypt our entire platform for all users at all times by default. Yeah okay right well encrypting between your data centers is meaningless then of course you can't encrypt everything because that would ruin your business model if you couldn't see what you're user are doing because that's the way you roll now the thing I want to warn everybody about which came out and of course you got all this gratuitous

2:23:33 blowjob jerk-off press about the Amazon fire. You've got me on this one because I saw a lot of this jerk off stuff about Amazon fire and ignored all of it yeah and whenever i find myself ignoring something, and it's hard to do but I have to look at this because... Yeah, you know. I need to be more like that. There's like-I know there's gonna be something and the thing that caught my eye was voice search! This thing is remote control has a built in microphone do not bring this into your house

2:24:18 I'm not kidding. Do not bring this into your house, do not turn on the Google Now in your browser, do not allow this in your house unless you stick a needle into that microphone and ruin it just wreck it put a screwdriver in there and scrunch around until the whole membrane is completely ruined. This is a spy device! Yeah actually if I told you that on my Wi-Fi network it says FBI surveillance van. Yeah, one of the Wi-Fi... those are all over the country by the way. I get people sending me screenshots all the time. Anyway what you want to do is ruin the mic if you want because that will be effective but i would actually rather get a small tape recorder and play an endless loop Disney's It's A Small World That would really do with the trick And I remember saying this on Twitter years ago

2:25:17 And everyone laughed at me. I said, look Google is listening they're listening in they've got you know that when Google Voice first came into the browser you're giving it permission to use your microphone and you getting ads based upon what they hearing in your house You hear a dog you get dog food commercials This is happening Yeah and the Kinect does the same thing The Kinect is the worst But this thing, it is a microphone. You can't turn it off! It's on all the time for your voice search you have no control over let's put it that way and I'll bet you that voice search works great yeah just like speech to text another one of those things when is that gonna happen? When is that really gonna work

2:25:58 Yeah, well it kind of works but unfortunately the amount that... It doesn't if it works 99% of the time that's not very good because you could take ninety-nine characters and one of them is bad. That's like every other line there's a typo that you have to fix! Well what what it works really well for and I'll give this to the Google guys in context it works great I mean if you can set up your phone for Google Maps mention a destination and it always comes back with 10 choices, usually the one you want is the top. But the actual dictation or how about transcription? The minute someone can take this podcast and have it transcribed I'll even take 90% accuracy and have it transcribed into real text then I'll believe we're there. It's just not gonna happen. Morse code this is a great example

2:26:55 So I learned Morse code. I'm not great at it, but i'm okay It is a human being Beats the compute it will beat out Watson in fact we should do this We should tell IBM to do this test A human ear will beat out any computer on transcoding Morse code that is sent over hf That fades in and out and change shifts in frequency There's almost no computer program that can there's none that can do it even decent really, but distance signals it only can be done with the human ear. It's just we're amazing machines that way. Well that's why we can read from a book that was printed in the 1800s that has like busted characters and all the rest you can read no problem every word yeah but you give that to an OCR program forget it! Exactly did you see... were able take a look at video I sent you about Common Core?

2:27:55 No. Oh shit! Is the homeschooling legal defense association has put together this 40 minute video about Common Core and the background of where it came from? It's in the show notes, it is really good. I'll watch that after the show. Yeah, it's really good. We're supposed to be discussing it Well that's why I sent it to you and then of course. It was too long well yeah it is there, it's 39 minutes uh didn't want to know and of course there's all you know the Ford hood thing was going on NCIS was on TV and come on this is crazy but I will there's a couple things that were in there that are that are that I'll set you up for and other people because people are gonna go watch this now

2:28:40 And they have people who are part of the decision-making process, who are now essentially kind of whistleblowers. Who were interviewed for this thing? The two lines I like the most one is the Gates McGraw Hill and Pearson companies really just want to create an assembly line of workers or thus the publishing houses and of course you know the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. What is really beautiful in this documentary is to hear educators say These are human beings, you know. We can't all go to college we can't all become a programmer You know some people have to become nut jobs and musicians and artists and athletes and there's all kinds of variety yeah Let me can I interrupt you real quick because this is an adjunct to what you're saying This is the email we got from James McConnell

2:29:36 Just finished listening to 603 and was dumbstruck by some wording in the conversation around next generation science standards. I'm a sysadmin type for whom you always have kind words, thanks! And has spent much of the previous day discussing software frameworks with some colleagues. Imagine my surprise when i get in the car for the right home and start hearing about all kinds of frameworks, the kind that supports common core. Then it dawned on me these jackasses are quite literally trying to program children very much in the human as a computer sense

2:30:15 Anyway, he wants us to come around back to the subject. Believe me this subjects not going away So here's here's the point of this documentary that I don't know how you know You have to watch it to understand where the basic flaw is in common core Common Core claims It will make every student college and career ready This is impossible because of the testing you can't be both If you're not going to go to college, then your career ready. But if your career ready then your scores are too low so therefore you couldn't be college ready So you can't...you cannot have both the standards that are being set like it's like when you want to go to college You take preparatory courses and you take your SAT and you get credits And you're ready for college Then you know then you're set to go in

2:31:16 If you want to make some kind of standards that prepare people both for college or for a career, the only way to do it is to lower everything. It can only get lower! This makes no sense that we're all brilliant when we come out of it not...it can be college ready or career ready, but not both. Does that make any sense? Yeah, it makes plenty of sense. I mean when i was a kid which was a long time ago they used to have college prep and when you went in grammar school say you're in the fifth grade there is a buncha kids that were put into college prep classes based on the fact that they seem to be more bright than the rest of the group and some real dumb kids are over in kind of dummies class where they push them off into direction where their gonna be working at a steel mill and then of course now that became kinda stereotypes you can't do that

2:32:06 You know, the kids that were in the... there was plenty of kids that were not in the college prep course and went to college because they had an ambition to do it. They just did it themselves but if they didn't have these tracks then they didn't expect everybody to be able to do everything but that goes thrown out with the bathwater because it was unfair and it was bad for self-esteem if you're in the dummies track. So I was talking to this, the reason why my banker friend moved here is uh...I tell you that i might have talked about this so one of his kids

2:32:45 I don't know, he seems like a nice kid to me. He's got tics and probably little deficits. Yeah you told us the story No i told you this outside of the show. I told you this after the show that's why you think I told you Oh see this is why we should never talk about it So I'm telling you now And so one of the reasons why he's coming to Texas he says is because of New York Now remember this is a rich guy because he's a banker and he's done well for himself as young as my age And we said, we had to move the taxes because in New York it is crazy. If your kid isn't...is there anything? When you're two a kid is too, they detect something immediately. There's a whole slew of for rich people get screwed the worst in New York there's a whole slew of consultants and therapy you have to go through the schools make it mandatory and then they have to go to crazy kids school and that's all you know like $15 000 a semester he said I had to leave New York is out of control

2:33:45 They're making their kids into these, they'll have to be bankers. If they're not going to be a banker or you know something along those lines then they're in the moron school at an expense of 50-60 thousand dollars a year and they detect this stuff early instead letting the kid develop who knows what happens? I look at this kid like hey your kids like me that's pretty cool it's probably gonna be really fun he'll be entertaining He may not be college material, but he'll be a lot of fun. Well you get to explain what the kids anomalies are why-why you... It'd be as Tourette's! Yeah yes Tourette's yeah and so if you have tourettes I guess in New York your you know and a kid? Yeah they offed off the special school with you

2:34:36 But he's just a kid with Tourette's, which is no different than I mean there's... Which comes and goes you know. There's no difference in terms of potential for academic achievement And you know what i love the most? And then I get lots of emails from people on the show uh we listen to the show when we talk and of course as you know there's some real issues with autism there's some real medical stuff But the way it's been set up, in fact we had an email exchange and you said is just like the sex offenders where now if you get caught peeing in the park You're a sex offender. And no one ever protested this idiot classification Now there you go! You can't live anywhere because you have to be a sex offender registered yet No one will tell anyone exactly what your so-called sex offense was So with this autism stuff

2:35:27 Yeah, it's they're just expanding this to an nth degree and all I can say is it's marginalizing true autism It's marginalizing true autism. And it's also Robbing the universe of interesting people or trying to shoehorn them into something that fits the mold and that's fundamentally wrong It's just wrong well This is one of the things that did a few people listen to the show fight against We actually have a lot of listeners, but do we I think so. I hope we have more than Ronan probably we might yeah Oh, I see I'm sure we do that should date guys unwatchable and the funny thing is that now even high high IQs Yeah, I know lots of really smart kid Nerdy nerdy maybe it's just nerdy and did little weird taking their little nerdy But you know they're really really smart

2:36:27 Yeah, that's now autism. Yeah we gotta drug those because you know there'll be too... We can't have them too smart for the slave system for Bill Gates and publishing houses McGraw-Hill and Pearson your slave system Thank You Oklahoma for trying to bring that down. The irony by the way is that Bill Gates would have been shoved into one of these programs if in today's world he would never become Bill Gates Right did he even complete college or is that? No dropped out when he was a freshman right There's your example his kids by the way not following Common Core they're some kind of private institution But they don't follow the Common Core state standards. Maybe that's why he is doing it, I don't know but maybe he doesn't want competition? That what...I still believe that Hey! That kid looks really smart Fuck him! Give me some drugs! I used the word so...I do have a movie quiz Hold on a second ladies and gentlemen It's pretty obvious Hold on where is the uh...got to get my jingle here and then all of...ah! I was still in there I was still in my whole thing

2:37:29 And now it's time for another episode of Guess That Movie. Alright, okay! I have to reset and get set rhythm. Okay, yes that movie This is actually quite obvious when you when you hear it. It's the game show that adam sucks at Estaba usando las huellas de otra persona es astuta es posible pero tenemos el rastreador del collar si el cotija la dirección a la que volvió con la base de datos de la policía sobre robos de joyas y Selena Kyle

2:38:04 Okay, I am guess any time. I like to hear the whole thing so I can you know that I can collect my thoughts? I'm going to guess The Spanish version of Robocop. Close! Dark Knight Rises. I should have known, ah damn... Well it's time for another episode of Guess That Movie. Well i tried. So the Hollande is in nothing but trouble apparently in France we don't do enough French news

2:39:00 And so they he pulls the plug on his prime minister, which I guess I didn't realize but this is the trick that they do in Europe. Yeah! I heard about this so they actually vote the Prime Minister but the president comes along for the ride and then swap right like Russia basically Well, the President's the one who calls the shots and thats Hollande So he fired the old Prime Minister and i got a pretty good clip it kind of explains it There are three of them you have to be careful let me get you the right one Sorry sorry sorry What are they? I have France, Prime Minister. France original prime minister. Original? The original? Alright we'll play the original. It's a well-known strategy amongst French presidents in times of crisis blame the Prime Minister Francois Mitterrand went through seven his successor Jacques Chirac four but after a crushing weekend at the polls some say the shakeup isn't enough to save Francois Hollande government

2:39:54 The response to this electoral disaster is essentially political suicide, because he's chosen Manuel Valls who is a minority and ultra-minority in the French socialist movement. And we'll soon see him as a minority in the country." Accused of amateurism, Jean-Marc Guerraud was seen as lacking the essential mix of energy and authority. Roland Hope subbing in the 51 year old Manuel Valls with his blend of social toughness and economic liberalism will help to revitalize his government but not everyone is convinced of Valls capabilities. Manuel Valls has been a complete failure in managing the portfolio that he's been given in the past but now he supposed leave interior ministry this massive failure to go ahead up the goverment

2:40:38 It's really an odd choice. On the Straits, news of his appointment was met with mixed reactions. He seems more believable he stands by his convictions and I think he believes in a more just France which we need today. He embodies serious values in any way there is hope. He seems a little aggressive to me but anyway will see A little too aggressive for some ministers in their horse former cabinets as well. The two greens, Pascal Canfoy and Cécile Duflo already confirming they won't be any part of a Valls-led cabinet. Yeah they really need to lessen package production there at France 24. The two greens! But the package is shit It's not good... No no they can do some work

2:41:30 They, you know... they've got the person talking on top of another person. I have one clip that I didn't even play that it was pretty funny It was about Chinese- the Chinese dream They were following the head of China around and he was in Belgium saying that he wants to return to the Chinese dream And then they explained it because we have the American dream there's a Chinese dream Really? Yeah, and it's to create happiness in the public. So the public is happy. Oh well I'm all for that! We don't have that dream... But I like that dream actually that works for me yeah I'm all for the Chinese dream. Happy people You want to play more of this Orlando stuff? No the other two are just..I couldn't figure out which of the three wasn't any good

2:42:22 I think we've had a three clip of the day show. Yeah, it's amazing and outstanding. Astonishing! We've uncovered the true mystery behind the disappeared plane Okay, I do have a clip then.
