Italian Lightning

00:00 Do they even know how to hold a taco? Dodging house hunters here in Fever region six and the Travis Heights hideout in the capital of the drone star state. In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where the Alameda County Fair has finally opened, I'm John C. Dvorak. Does this mean you'll be getting cotton candy later? This is like anybody cares. No, I probably will go to the thing it's a nice fair. I think-I remember you going with Jay to that. I think I recall you talking about that on the show Could be. Yeah What did they have? Did they have the bearded lady at this fair? They might. They got a three five legged goat You know stuff like that

00:58 Yeah, we have fairs like that here in Austin. We got all kinds of weird stuff like that Actually the really good one there in Texas is the Texas State Fair and Dallas I've been to it a couple times Oh really? Yeah, huh? Dallas is... It's just a little- Houston is a great ride. Dallas is a bit too far It's too bad. You know, it was at three and a half hours and it's... You went to Plano which means you went through Dallas to go further! Yes this is why I am saying this. This is why I'm an authority on the topic. Well again if you're going to the State Fair though so kind of just so you know it's something to do. Get up at 6 in the morning get going be there by 9 30 10 o'clock No what you got to do is you do a show you edit the show you post the show then you get in the truck and drive

01:42 That's, let me tell you that was rough. Getting up there after the show well um... But you got a lot of good responses from people they thought it was a good report Interesting you say that yeah A number of people said oh we want to hear more and you should do a You know do a blog post to help Hamms get started I'm like no wait a minute! Yeah, you can google how do i get started? And this is there's a lot of information I don't mind passing on some of my findings from time to time but this is a lot you know just Do we need you and they want you to guide them? But is there a new one to guide them is there really such a need for that I mean it was at the farmers market Harry The guy who with the the guy with the wife from the tie that guy with the Thai wife He's like yeah, we want to have a ham radio out on the farm. Okay

02:34 What do I need? So, ugh. There's a lot of this is blah. Well you know there is this issue with podcasting for example it's people want to podcast but they don't know what to do And if you know what to do, then you realize looking back on it. You go well this isn't very difficult. You just need a this piece of equipment and some cables and a microphone right? Well there's some differences that's not entirely true I mean even just setting there's a difference if people say I want to do podcast yeah because they listen to us like oh that's easy let's do that

03:14 And then it turns out it's not so easy. Well, that is what ends up happening because... But I think the only way you really have to go and discover things for yourself and that's the only way to really learn, I believe. Yeah well, I think you should work in the business. I wanted to start off with something a little different this morning just to change things up There's this blog I read, a.nolan... A dog with the blog? A dog with the blog, a.nolan And actually as i was reading at this post that inspired me to play this little clip I now wonder if a.nolan maybe is female For some reason I just kind of assumed oh it's a dude

03:57 And from time to time I pick up some interesting stuff, particularly about Applebaum and Snowden and the Berlin Kabbalah. There's some interesting stuff that is on this blog. And so this A. Nolan person writes about something he or she calls the thinking person sickness And it's not exactly what... that's not the definition I would use. But posted a link to a clip from this woman, Dr. Kathy McMahon and she is a psych... hmmm... I don't know if she was psychologist or psychotherapist? Anyway so in this clip.. It's an older clip

04:39 But it kind of reminded me about things that you and I kind of take for granted because we're essentially immune for the bullcrap that most people get spewed over them like, just like a vomit of fear and things that are thrown at him on daily basis. And this is a little clip, it's about peak oil. And so this is old because of course now I think the whole world probably recognizes that peak oil was bogative There was nothing to it, it didn't happen there seems to be more oil than ever In fact we're fighting over...there's so much oil you know We don't know which war to focus on There's so much of it Correct?

05:23 Absolutely. But of course when this first came out, this peak oil and this was maybe three or four years ago when this really came into the forefront and was being pushed very heavily? No it was before that. By the time we had started our show it was already falling apart Really? Yeah, Peak Oil when I first heard it. I was working actually at Union Oil and that was in... But really the mainstream peak oil... I think we caught it right here. Right at the tail of the peak maybe. Maybe. But you and I were like whatever, Peak Oil sure yeah

06:00 Yeah, you know in fact I think one of our main theses was peak oil is great because then we don't have to worry about global warming. There'll be no more carbon fuel to burn! This is your gimmick once you came up with this gimmick which you might as well reiterate what became humorous was that the gimmicks stopped working within about a year if you're developing it So the idea was if someone's all-in on peak oil and you say oh Those are all in global warming. Yeah, climate change and global warming. You say oh man so peak oil you're all in on that as well? And they say yeah absolutely we're running out of oil! Well then you got nothing to worry about. Global warming and climate change will solve itself once were out of oil We might have to walk to work but everything will be fine Right it would be fuddled. He'd go blubblublublu Then he'd go wandering off like a frog with a scrambled brain

06:52 Exactly. That didn't work for him at all, he only worked for about a year! So I just want to play this clip... This is uh now so this would be i would classify this person most likely as an Obama bot although i'm not sure that when the time this was recorded Obama was president um and it's two women and they're doing a coffee clutch About when they first heard about peak oil and remember the woman dr. Kathleen McMahon is a psychotherapist or a psychiatrist and she treats people Who have anxiety and fear in all kinds of emotional issues my own reaction seemed so crazy to me? What was your reaction we mean hearing the news about learning about peak oil what was your own reaction I

07:37 I remember it like it was yesterday, actually. We were putting in a new floor in our bedroom so I was in a little room and my husband would print out material from the internet and he'd bring it into me and say here read this and I'd read it, and I became increasingly shocked and appalled. And then after I was just about finished with that he would bring in another piece and say here read this! And I was completely overwhelmed. I was shocked. I couldn't believe it yet I kept looking for credible skeptics that I could believe

08:16 I couldn't find any. And so, I noticed over time that I began to go through this emotional process of saying okay, um...I have to collect food. I have to madly, you know...I went through what I call a salad dressing period. I bought all the salad dressing and then you know year later I never used it because i started making my own salad dressing but at the point I just had all of a sudden feel like I have to accumulate everything in order to be safe so that so you were accumulating hoarding all this stuff yeah because the world was going Right. I was expecting something dramatic to happen, any moment where this big drama was going to happen. I sort of had that same feeling when I learned about PECOIL. It's like my first thought was we're six miles from town okay what if we can't afford the gasoline you know? Yeah

09:06 Should I be growing food all that kind of stuff and you had to do it all yesterday? Yeah, yeah right now So you know I think you and I sometimes overstep that and don't realize or lots of people how How horrible it really is when people are bombarded daily about your house is going to burn down from the fires, from climate change and your children will never see snow ever again. And they will die before they're 25." And just this incessant fear mongering and there you have it two I would say intelligent women who were...and there may be some matriarchal feelings that are mixed in there but that's pretty insane how frightened these women were

09:55 Yeah, yeah. That's true. Which brings me to a clip if you want me to keep the same track? So this was actually a clip I was thinking would be an ideal clip just before one of our little segments where we're thanking people for helping contribute and running the show This is the Glenn Beck fail Glenn Beck, I was listening to this clip and he did some interesting... He was criticizing the Obama administration for capturing this guy behind Benghazi when he's been floating around free. The guy who'd been doing all the interviews with CNN

10:32 Yeah, and then so Beck points this out. And then Beck... This is not too long but it's a little long but what it is what the clip does is his Beck is doing I think reasonably he's a little emotional but he's doing a reasonable thing and then he flips into his advertising Okay, and the worst part about it Is that fear-mongering in the advertising is shameless And I think it is a straight reflection of what these women were thinking. They're on the other side of the political spectrum, but both sides of the political spectrum are bombarded with this bull crap. Play this and you'll see what i'm talking about. The Benghazi ringleader Ahmad... What's his name? Abu... What's-his-face? Abu Katala Yeah thank you! I love him

11:19 Two years ago, the president vowed to do everything he could to bring him to justice. And yet the guy did interviews in public with CNN, The New York Times and other Western journalists... In fact if I may let me play a little bit of the CNN interview U.S officials have often suggested that they would be interested in speaking to a man named Ahmed Abu Khatala about the events the night of the attack he's really not that difficult to find We met with Ahmed Abu Khatala in public at the coffee shop of a well-known hotel here in Benghazi for around two hours. Amazing! Not hard to find, not hard to find The president hasn't taken any responsibility The State Department said well it's easy for them to find him It is harder for our Navy SEALS to find him

12:14 Come on, come on. And this is only a partial list back in a second let me tell you about Goldline. Goldline is our sponsor and I will tell you that things are because we live in an age of lies We are being lied to about everything and here's what I really want you to understand The lies at the Fed are the worst. The lies at the Treasury are the worst because in the end that's what anybody who has saved any money you're gonna get hammered if you are if you're approaching, you know your retirement age There's no retirement coming for you and everything that you saved is now in jeopardy Because the dollar is going to be devalued beyond that how much gas gonna cost really

13:01 Would you please call GoldLine today? Yeah, this is so sad when these guys do that. It's unbelievable! I hear this all the time it's like we're gonna die 1776 the government taking over you need some seeds! Seeds! Hey, need some boner pills! Need some iodine! And really, all we have to sell is this. Yeah, no I you know it's a kind of borderline pathetic because you know they some of these guys actually do analysis that's interesting and then they just blow it up. They blow it up their own bull crap! And sometimes guessers... How can you believe someone who says that the dollar is going to collapse? Yeah really or at least listen to a show where there are two sides of that opinion not just one It's horrible You know my obsession continues I have to say

14:07 My obsession with the history of the Middle East. This is so weird! My mom is probably looking down at me going, what? What?! You're interested in what?? You were just a goofball when you were a kid. I was a goofball up until my 40s, not just when i was a kid and now I'm just obsessed with... every day there's and it's not just me stumbling upon stuff we have a fantastic audience of producers who will send me things and often in fact I got reminded by one of our producers It's interesting how sometimes its female producers

14:48 who liked to go back and say, oh hey Adam maybe you should look at revisit this. And I was very happy one of our producers said you should go back and take a look at Brzezinski's The Grand Chessboard book...and I did! Because you know Brzezinski now the big new Brzezinski well i think we actually have it don't we have an official pronunciation for that guy from somebody? It involves a lot of spitting. Here it is, I've got the official pronunciation Zbigniew Brzezinski Yeah we're not going to be pronouncing it that way anytime soon Whose daughter is Mika there on the morning Joe show and he calls in from time to time And then she'll even say hey dad how you doing? It's kind of cute I have to say Even elitists can be cute

15:47 So I did go back and looked a little bit at some of the things. Here's a quote from The Grand Chessboard, this is from 1997... Actually it's full title of the book is The Grand Chessboard American Primacy or Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives Now again not a book until I was doing the show that I would go hmmm this looks like some nice reading And Brzezinski was... you know what I'm saying, right? Yeah it's funny. This is some light reading! The show has ruined our lives! It has! What am i doing?!

16:25 Now he was the... Was he Secretary of State for Nixon? I know he was. No, no, no! He was a Carter guy. Oh and Carter, I'm sorry. He was advisor or sec- I think it was...was he secretary of state actually? While you're discussing this outlook is... You'll look in the...yeah, you will consult The Book Of Knowledge that's very important. Okay. How do you spell Brzezinski? I never heard of him. Oh it's B R Z E Z Right. B R Z E Z I N S K I Yeah, that's one name that just doesn't... No no it does not stick to your ribs. I know It is very hard to remember Well yeah identity thieves are going to have difficulty with that guy

17:08 So while you're looking that up, I'll read this paragraph. But if the middle space—and i'm going to add some explanations here—the middle space is Russia and the former Soviet Union rebuffs the West —that would be the European Union and United States becomes an assertive single entity and either gains control over the South –that's the Middle East– or forms an alliance with the major Eastern actor –that could only be China Then America's primacy in Eurasia shrinks dramatically. By the way, he was a national security advisor. Oh, national security advisor right? Well he is the guy that brought the initial guns to the Mujahideen I think. Maybe Yeah, I think so There is video of him going out there and talking with these guys He was partially responsible for financing of the Mujahideen Yes exactly

17:57 America's primacy in Eurasia shrinks dramatically. The same would be the case if the two major eastern players were somehow to unite. Finally, any ejection of America by its western partners—that is the French and Germans—from its perch on the western periphery Europe would automatically spell the end of America's participation in the game on the Eurasian chessboard, even though that would probably also mean the eventual subordination of the Western extremity to a revived player occupying the middle space which of course would be Russia. So when you read through this grand chessboard and it is challenging to get through it I found um essentially what he is saying

18:43 Everything in the world on this grand chessboard is all about, essentially the energy business. Who has it? Who sells it and who needs it or who has it who needs it to supplies it and there really are only two sides momentarily you have the US the UK and the EU and Japan on one side and the other side you have Russia China and Iran And that's pretty much the game And if you keep that in mind with everything, things start to become very clear. Particularly when you take into account our recent knowledge of how the energy flows which is... You're growing up as a kid and see big tanker, oh yeah there goes some oil! No but it's really pipelines

19:34 And so this most recent move in Kurdistan and northern Iraq, and of course everything that's going on all over Iraq. expected expansion of this rubble-ization into other places like Jordan, I'm like okay let's look into why is Jordan being pulled into play? Do you have any idea John do you... Well I mean besides the memes and standard litany. I read all the material I could on ISIS and you know Jordan is just a phony state that they believe shouldn't even be there so they would just take over that whole area

20:14 But it's also really an American ally. There has been a concerted effort going on to kind of get us out of the game, and I think that Zabrinsky's book probably talks about some of it. I ran into an odd piece or an odd scene. It was Lagarde doing a press conference, and there is...are you familiar with the IMF reforms? Yes, the 2010 reforms of the United States is not ratified. Yes this is what will bring in the SDR yes Well I don't see it bringing in the SDR Of course because I don't think the SDR is the key here But it is an attempt to screw us you're taking me off my oil thing but okay no This is about the oil all right good

21:02 Because it's all about the same thing. Well, yeah anyway I've got this clip that is interesting because I finally figured out what what's going on and with the reform the reforms Chessboard than it is about your oil thinking so finish your oil idea no No, if you want to bring in IMF that's okay Okay, bring an IMF reforms yes Good morning, Stefan Grobe, Euronews. The statement doesn't mention the ongoing unwillingness of the US authorities to support and implement the IMF reforms. Have you given up hope on this?

21:39 No way, no way. I would never give up and you know I was a player in this organization except on the other side when the US authorities campaigned actively for the reform and I want to see it through so I would certainly hope that The authorities both at the administration as well as at the legislative level understand and appreciate how helpful and necessary it is to actually implement the reform so that the IMF can continue play its role, um... ...as prescribed by the articles. Okay? So I was listening in this going what's the big deal why are we not signing off on whatever these reforms are because it puts China in uh...in the hot seat

22:31 Well, no. What it really does is it eliminates... We have right now... IMF we have to remember and we keep forgetting but we don't bring up a lot. It's that we use as an implement for the economic hitmen so we can be in the Middle East creating havoc and rubbleizing. And there were only way we can do that if we have veto power over what the IMF does. Yes Right now we're right at the point that we have 16.75% of the vote when it caused them the major decisions that the IMF have to be done with what's called a supermajority which is 85%. They want to bring in Brazil, Russia India and China into the IR- the I- the IMFs voting bloc this would reduce our

23:20 our share to like less than 15% which eliminates our ability to veto anything. I disagree, that is... I disagree! That has been one of the main promises of the ratification of the 2010 reforms is that it would not remove the United States' veto power. Can in the future? Yeah, of course. It immediately gives us It's a small percentage, but it gives the United States a smaller percentage of the vote. But one of the big promises has been if you look at the documents it will not change our veto power but it does put China at number two and currently they're number six I think on the board

24:05 If you look at all the voting share, whatever it's called of the IMF. I looked into this extensively when i was talking about the SDR table... Yeah and doing your SDR thing is like uh well what you're doing what you just did is that you denied the possibility No I didn't! But it's your argument! I'm not denying the possibility I'm telling you what they're saying. I know what you're saying but I'm just saying you're on the other side of this argument I don't understand why you would support the reform? What do you think I am, some fucking politician? I'm telling you what they're saying. I don't give a shit! And when- and like oh, Don't touch my dollar! I don't care, I'm here to tell you what i'm seeing and hearing, not here to be on his side. Excuse me did you wake up and think that I was Newt Gingrich on Crossfire or something? No? Go back to your oil tank. Thank You Yeah, you should be

24:57 Alright, have you ever heard of the Mosul Haifa oil pipeline? On this show. No! Yes I've never heard of this Okay The Mosul Haifa Oil Pipeline and Mosul if you'll all look at your maps is right smack in the middle of the Kirkuk oil field And it's also going to be the new capital according to Kimberly Which yes so it's very much in play initially was constructed in 1932. I think it was commissioned in 1932 and it was full swing in 1935. Haifa, for those of you who don't know is in Israel and for more than a decade oil was being pumped from Mosul now known as the capital of Kurdistan

25:51 to Israel. No, no that wouldn't be Kurdistan it's going to be the capital of the ISIS territory. I'm sorry you...I stand corrected but it is uh it is Kurdish oil there they well they claim to own this now yeah this is yes of late They've got quite the website by the way the Kurdistan Regional Government. They got a news agency, they got all kinds of things going on... It's one of the big PR companies behind it. They even were bitching about Bloomberg's reporting of cheap oil they were selling to Israel! They're pretty incredible. Anyway so this was a pipeline that was encased in cement and ran underground

26:35 And it was the lifeline for Israel. It was a decommissioned...I think around 1954 this thing was essentially done with, had been blown up in many parts and I think in 1948 the Arab-Israeli war that's really when the pipeline kind of ended and looking back in my research B.B. Netanyahu apparently made some big blunder around 2003 when George W Bush and cronies said, hey let's go liberate Iraq! And he said, ah oil will flow once again from Mosul to Haifa! And apparently that was like a big no-no because that was exactly the plan and now in hindsight if you look at this pipeline... ...you'll see that many of the bases, the US bases were along this route

27:29 And the beauty of the Mosul Haifa pipeline, which is being... right now version 2.5 essentially is being built was the commission went to hunt oil And you may remember Hunt Oil. It was talked about a lot back in the day and was one of George W's buddies. Yeah, HL Hunt and the boys. Yes exactly! And if you look at their website... You know they're the same people behind Hunts Foods? Oh really?! At some point I don't think they are anymore If you look where there big oil exploration and production is so it's not just out there poking holes in the ground They actually do the production and run this stuff

28:15 Headquartered in Dallas, of course. They also have huge operations in Romania Yemen and Kurdistan of course So these guys are still kind of in on that game And the way the pipeline ran and the way it's supposed to run again is through Jordan and that's why Jordan is now in play Right? That would make sense right so I think more sense than the memes exactly so I pick up this This little piece from a much longer piece, about a minute and half of Brzezinski. He's on the Morning Joe show with his daughter and there are couple of these... I didn't even write down the names of these guys who were also on this show but it becomes very clear if you just now that you have this knowledge of this pipeline running for Mosul

29:01 in the Kirkuk oil fields through northern Iraq, which is now being protected essentially and being distracted by the ISIS calamities. It's all distraction so the Kurd oil can now run nicely through Jordan right into Into Israel it may not be Haifa where it comes out again, but into Israel with that knowledge now listen to these analysts who probably they all know what's going on none of them actually say it and Brzezinski is the one who even pulls back and says wow you know you guys shouldn't be talking about this. It's how much are they there to work with the Iranians and the Iraqis to keep a rock intact? And that's a question that did not emerge clearly from yesterday's press conference I would simply say I do not think it as any more in the interest of the United States

29:46 to do that, the days of an attack. To keep Iraq as a single nation state I essentially think that has been eclipsed by history Dr. Brzezinski will you agree with that? I agree with it but i wouldn't be saying is formally in so far as United States is concerned and I think that is a fact of life however So we have to prop up what can be saved We can prevent perhaps Baghdad from falling But Iraq as an entity viable entity national entity was somewhat of a fiction and we demolished it starting with 2003. So listen to you, doctor the priorities the unspoken priorities right now would be save the Kurds in the north there are allies take care of our friends the Kurds in the north take care of Jordan make sure that Israel doesn't launch on its own a nuclear strike against what's going on in Iraq and basically petition off Iraq and let them go at it is that the deal?

30:37 And some accommodation with Iran, because Iran can become a source of instability in the region if things get worse between them and us. Or it can find some merit and its own national interest being served by some accommodation with us And of course, as we all agree I think Jordan has to be propped up as much as possible and what happens across the Jordan River is very important for Jordan's stability. Okay so he's laughing at it like yeah you gotta get all this in play! I like the way he said demolished It's just another word for rubbilized

31:13 So, he and now he says something very important. And now the pieces start to fall into place what Kerry has been working on so hard to the point where people are calling him a douchebag is this Palestinian deal with Israel today in the news Robert Sari Now Robert Sari Where have we heard this name before? He is the United Nations Special Coordinator We heard this name about more than six weeks ago, right after Victoria Nuland's famous F the EU quote. And she was saying yeah we get Yats, we'll bring him in and I hear we've even got Robert Sarrie coming in! Do you remember that? No Okay Well we looked him up and he is a Dutchman

32:00 and he is a United Nations Special Coordinator. He was the guy that tried to come into Ukraine, and was then held and rejected... they would- they held him for like 24 hours? This is right in the beginning of the fracas yeah you may not remember. I don't! Well he now shows up as the United Nation's Special Coordinator for the Middle East process which is all part of the same thing. The Ukraine and it's all about the same energy blocking Russia and China and Iran And he is accused of trying to funnel $20 million dollars to Hamas against Israel's wishes. They apparently, Hamas apparently has a payroll problem that's literally the report yeah we've got a payroll issue but need a bridge I'm not kidding this is the real reports We need a bridge loan and Israel said no you can't do that and he tried to do an end around and have Qatar transfer it so they're trying to make peace

32:57 not necessarily with Hamas, but with the Palestinians because of this ultimate goal of this oil coming in which they will have to share with their neighbors. And again that's all that this is about! All of this Jew-Arab stuff you know Arab-Arab, Sunni sushi whatever it's bullcrap all of that is bull crap and its proven when you see The Kurds, they currently have a pipeline that goes to this port of Ceyhan which is in Turkey. And you need to go to kurdoil.noagendanotes.com John. Kurdoil.noagendanotes.com and there we have a good overview Of the oil fields the gas fields the current Kirkuk-Ceyhan Oil Pipeline

33:50 And then you'll see the, what they call... this map calls the pipeline under construction. And that is essentially the Mosul Haifa Pipeline 2.0 that is now under construction and who knows who's doing that? You know, that could be Brechtel for all I know we don't know. Bechdel! Yeah those guys So this is what this entire thing is about. It's what 2003 was about, but now we just have a different way of going about it and that is we've created this ISIS group and make no mistake We have created this ISIS group And they are the big distraction and while this happens you can see right there What Kurdistan is doing? And I encourage everybody to go to the website. It's very interesting to read what they have

34:45 Let me see. What is the what is the actual website website they have here? Is there a KRG org, there you go that is the Kurdistan Regional government website I got an English and it got multiple. You know this like they got some JavaScript going on looks pretty legit These guys know what they're doing and then they got all their statements that they're pissed off, you know crazy to think that Bloomberg would actually report that we sold a whole tanker full of oil at half price to Israel. Please! That is an insult!" Now I'm sure the Israelis did some kind of deal but here's the end game for this piece of the chess game at least... The Iraqi oil gets pumped

35:33 to Israel. Israel, who are now building a...the pipeline is on to Italy and there's another pipeline through Cyprus they are building the infrastructure into Europe circumventing Turkey! This is why Turkey is so pissed off and of course we've been trying to cause havoc there I think that's where Fethullah Gulen, the reason why he is in Pennsylvania. This is the so-called cleric and Pennsylvania with all the charter schools and like 1200 people have been fired from Turkish government because they were all gulen shills trying to

36:14 upset the apple cart from the inside. And I believe Erdogan figured it out and he's thwarted this, but it was essentially a regime change or revolutionization plan from the Western partners and that whole idea is stop anything coming from Russia we've successfully done that in Ukraine Belarus be on the lookout um...and now there's this fight between uh...Russia trying to connect a pipeline through the south stream which goes underneath, you know it goes through the former Yugoslavian Republic and they're trying to get into Europe that way. And Europe now saying oh no-no-no we'll do a deal will take your gas directly and if Ukraine wants anything will reverse the taps and well sell it back to them this whole thing is about stopping those guys everybody

37:07 Every single person. Maybe we'll do a little deal with Iran, maybe it might be fun to play with them but Israel that's why they've been so incredibly quiet is just waiting to get their oil so they can sell it into Europe and other Western partners That's all this is about! That's what 2003 was about And of course all we get here I got the Anne Marie Slaughter clip that I wanted to play She is a version of Kimberly Kagan She is the CEO of, I believe it's the New America Foundation. I think she's a you know your typical elitist You know on the she's on there what does that thing? The Council of Foreign Relations and she was State Department advisor to Hillary Clinton and now she's running this big NGO funded by Eric Schmidt and Milam Belinda Gates

38:08 Listen to the disdain in her voice as she's explaining to the NPR person I only clipped out a little bit and and she just had she's laughing at every question like you stupid idiot Don't you know, you know it's because of course this is not about anything but religion And we need to save people so if the u.s Goes after Isis and Assad that that's confusing because ISIS is kind of our friend in Syria because the United States opposes Assad, but ISIS is our enemy in Iraq because they're fighting the government that we helped put into place. Right? Well it's always confusing in the Middle East but the way to think about this... So confusing for you peons! ...ISIS is certainly not our friend anywhere but neither is the Syrian government. Except when they were

38:56 They're our friends. She was in Vogue magazine and Brad Pitt and Angelina hung out with them." And what I was arguing in the Times is you can't talk about Iraq, and you can't solve Iraq without recognizing the roots of this problem in Syria. How can the United States attack Assad and try to get help from Iran? I mean they're close allies. So, that is unquestionably complicated. And one of the arguments for not using force in Syria has been if we use force in Syria it will torpedo our negotiations with Iran and we are talking to Iran about this whole tangle I think that's a smart policy

39:36 But I think we also need to signal to Iran that we are in fact prepared to use force. We are, in fact, prepared! She laughs in the middle of her sentences. Yeah, we are prepared because you stupid Iranians don't know? We will kill if we feel like it. Protect the Syrian people and the Iraqi people. How do you know Amiri Slaughter how do any of us know what what the Iraqi and Syrian people really want Well, in the first place this stuff I've got to tell you, you're so stupid. Syrian people have been begging for our intervention the majority of the Syrian people...I don't think it takes a great leap of imagination to know that they no longer want barrel bombs dropped on them they want an end to the killing and similarly for the Iraqi people and my point is there are things we can do there are ways we can use force that will change the situation on the ground enough to force a political negotiation that gets

40:39 She sounds like she has that the same laugh and she has the same cadence as Hillary. Exactly! Oh, they were working together? Every once in a while she actually sounds like Hillary. Yeah, right. She sounds a little less ragged than Hillary. So she's more cleanliness to the cut of her speech but she's finishing up and she'll do another little chuckle here. And it gets a decent government and that allows multiple nations then to fight a terrorist group that we need to take on It's a difficult situation. It doesn't really look like there are many good options Well, I think we have better options than... We recognize it's very hard. I'm not faulting the president for not immediately knowing what to do but what i am saying is you cannot say for two years as he said that Syria is not in our vital interest so we shouldn't use force and then turn around and say against the very same group

41:40 It is in our vital interest to use force in Iraq. This is the same problem." So I find it very interesting, you know she's obviously one of these uber-uber liberals running into...I mean when you have Eric and Wendy Schmidt donating over a million dollars to your NGO and Milam Belinda Gates doing the same and all this, you are in the top echelon of obottedness And they are now trying to find beautiful words and ways to explain why we need to go kill brown people in sand. Because that's what she is saying, limited strikes... I haven't heard the surgical yet but i'm waiting for that. That's more of a republican term But it's the same thing

42:29 is, oh just limited and we'll just hit up a blow a couple people up and limit civilian casualties. These people are just as warmongering hungry as any Republican." Oh at least! And now here's Ted Cruz who also...and again it's so disappointing that no one really says what its about. I think this going back to the beginning of the show If people really knew what this was for, if every single war is always about turf and resources and maybe a hooker or two... We really would protest this. But now when you bring in patriotism and be afraid it's a launching pad for- It's jihadi Disneyland they're gonna come and kill you in America And oh! The Britons are going to kill us in the UK Think of the children, the humanitarian crisis Bull crap

43:26 I don't know if Cruz is onto it, but at least he's calling out some spades. Indeed an obvious question that the administration should answer is has the Obama Administration ever armed ISIS? Has the administration given lethal weapons to ISIS we are doing so to rebels who are fighting alongside Isis in Syria And it's an obvious question to ask whether we have in fact armed these radical Islamic terrorists as well. ISIS is much more than a local or even regional threat, they are among the worst of the radical jihadis who attacked us on September 11th 2001

44:17 And again on September 11th, 2012. See this is now the new meme isn't it? These guys they're not Al Qaeda these guys are so bad that Al Qaedas afraid of them! Yeah there's been... They tried to make this meme stick a couple times at first time I saw it they played with it was in 2006 when the Washington Post did an article with, I think it was the initial article where they said oh well they were part of, there were affiliate. of Al Qaeda and the Al-Qaeda people didn't want to have anything do them because they were too brutal. They're too crazy! Which makes, which of course is the idea is to get the public freaked out about these guys because how could you be more brutal than al-qaeda? Well there's one other term we got a throw in there it always works So bad in fact that the quote core al qaeda Core al-qaeda As president Obama likes to call the terrorist cells in Pakistan and Afghanistan

45:13 have renounced them. Their goal is to establish a new Islamic caliphate. There it is ladies and gentlemen! Caliphate in Iraq, I think im gonna crap my pants. There it is everybody. Gotta get that in there. Thank you very much Roberto Suarez, Jason Scott and everyone sending in caliphate jingles now But it's, that's it. And this is nothing but unhealthy for you listeners. No no, it's very awful It's horrible for the poor public I want to mention one little thing since you brought that in Uh...I didn't clip it, I should have and I had it somewhere I just didn't get to the clip uh..it was one of the shows on Fox, Fox News Mm-hmm and then they said do you think there was anything we should do about? And then they described the ISIS thing as The Al Qaeda Army

46:15 Really? Yeah, that is the term used and I was on Fox was the elder fight army interesting. I thought that was really interesting Haven't heard that one yet Well, well, I think it has to do with you know, can you I'm guessing it's possible like when they did the study on the global warming a phrase as opposed to climate change right Somebody said, you know this Isis ISIL nobody could that's not work just call it out Al-Qaeda army. So let's change it to al Qaeda Army have you all scared up people? Let's have you done a recent Google search on that no not really I just came to mind You may want to use a proxy Let's see, Al-qaeda army already listed though Let him go

47:03 Here it is O'Reilly Okay, there's it's a Fox meme right now. Oh Riley expect Obama to start bombing al-Qaeda army Okay, this wasn't on this wasn't our O'Reilly so now we know it's a network wide phenomenon yes Yes, yes So that seems to be Mike Rogers There's an Al Qaeda army on the move Mike Rogers hold on our buddy Let's see this was on You want to hear him say that or we just yeah, if you got it Yeah, hold on a second I can play I can I can I can patch it through with Isis moving so fast do we have several days for him to review options and

47:46 he said it would basically it was contingent on maliki reaching out if maliki does not reach out to the kurds and to the sunnis and decides to stick with ishiya base what does the u.s. do that well again leadership is important absence of leadership in decisiveness is important yes it's too late to have a long political reconciliation meetings uh... that will last weeks or months to try to get through even the finest points of difference You have an Al-Qaeda army on the move. Well, he's a he's on board! He got the memo Yeah so there... So we're going with that The other thing I've noticed which is another good catch by the way Another slight meme Which is they were describing their Their actions of the al Qaeda army as they took over in a blitzkrieg fashion Oh nice callback

48:39 Right blitzkrieg. They must be hit they must be Nazis So you use the Blitzkrieg and that immediately brings to mind especially after all these recent Celebrations about D-Day and all the rest of a lot of World War two Specials were on so now it brings them into Hort the atrocities of the Fascists, and so lovely do you see their word blitzkrieg? Yeah which was a specific type of Thing the Nazis did it a very unlike what these guys are doing The blitzkrieg was like this is almost like I was like the shock and awe of the day shot Yeah, exactly. It was the germ it was the Nazi shocking all shocked troops Yes that mean come in storm troopers the Isis shot troops We can always write it you can always we should be working for the government

49:29 What else can we do to fight the public? We would be great writers. So they're voting for us, or vote us back in because they'll be so scared! Well luckily somebody in this whole thing has some humor I'm enjoying it thoroughly because now we know that Isis are These of course our social media experts Government forces battle Islamic militants for control of Iraq both sides have claimed the upper hand Terrorist supporters are also waging a propaganda war online posting a photoshopped Mockery of the first lady's Twitter campaign to free those girls kidnapped in Nigeria instead of saying bring back our girls The hashtag reads bring back our home

50:11 Humvee, a reference to ISIS's threat- theft rather of a truckload of US made Humvees that happened last week. So whoever is running that show has some humor and it's clearly you know obviously there's someone in some meeting somewhere going I got an idea Let's do this. And oh, by the way where is all the outrage about our girls? That got dropped pretty quickly didn't it? It never got any traction! No it wasn't working so they dropped it even Michelle Obama who went on for hours about women being denied education Oh well whatever screw it I'm running for Senate who cares Here's the president...I have two clips back to back

50:57 and then Carl Levin, and this is about the 300 advisors. Now people need to listen very very closely what is being said here This is the military-industrial complex. I want to mention something that was reading some research on this too We left 6,000 people there And we, I think we have 6,000. We reassigned them to have new titles they're not soldiers anymore there's something else. Yes they... So what do we need 300 more for? It's showboating it's complete show boating is to show us and it's 275 and it's a small number 75 these are right out of one of the Kimberly Kagan related operations yeah but they're not U.S military

51:43 And he's...and the president is very clear. This is going to the commercial companies, by the way it's not C-A-C-I its Kaki. Yeah you pronounce it Kaki we've learned. We got a bunch of letters from our insiders on that one. Yeah we appreciate it and we learned something this way. That's a good name. Get it? So listen carefully what the president is saying and what he isn't saying then we'll have Carl Levin interpretation. He's a real boob. He just comes out and says like a moron The United States will continue to increase our support to Iraqi security forces. We're prepared to create joint operation centers in Baghdad and northern Iraq Joint operations centers? What the... we have that here in Texas! This is intelligence centers everywhere, joint operations centers It's just like Iraq here To share intelligence and coordinate planning to confront the terrorist threat of ISIL Okay, notice he saying I-S-I-L

52:38 This is not insignificant. There's a reason for this and I believe you're right, i believe that the president will soon pivot towards the Iraqi army he's not going with the plain old ISIS. Al-Qaeda Army. Thank You! Through our new counterterrorism partnership fund we're... Ah! The new counterterrorism partnership fund that is the five billion dollar fund that is intended to be used for counterterrorism and it goes to commercial companies. Otherwise, he would just say it's coming out of our regular Department of Defense fund No It's coming out of the new partnership fund Through our new counterterrorism partnership fund we're prepared to work with Congress To provide additional equipment We have had advisors in Iraq through our embassy and were prepared to send a small number of additional American military advisors American military advisers is not the same as

53:32 Advisors who work for the American military is very different. Up to 300, to assess how we can best train advise and support Iraqi security forces going forward American forces will not be returning to combat in Iraq, but we will help Iraqis as they take the fight. Two terrorists who threaten the Iraqi people and the region and American interests as well." And you are completely correct John when you say that we transferred 5 or 6 thousand enlisted men and women and they're now making three or four times more than they were working for Uncle Sam

54:13 They're now working for private contractors and that is all around the largest Embassy, I think in the world. Yes The the Baghdad US embassy is Unbelievable in scope and here's Carl Levin who comes out And of course he has to do some kind of speech like he does a 15 or 20 minute press conference You know say yeah, I'm all on board. I'm all-in kids. I support the strategy that President Obama outlined yesterday and here's why And here's also the factors that I believe should govern our approach moving forward. The decision to send a small number of US non-military advisors is a prudent decision See? Non military advisors! He says it properly

55:00 They're not military advisors people. This is the military industrial complex going in to steer the operations. Yeah, let's make sure... Hey! Hey hey we're building a pipeline over there move you're fighting over there they can help assess the situation on the ground that's right left support Iraqi efforts to defeat the Islamic militants that Iraq faces and help the Iraqis make best use of the ample intelligence support that we're already providing. Where apparently also that's where they got the 400 million dollars or whatever they got in gold or whatever it was. They stole, you know this is another thing I was trying to do some work on this and it got nowhere. Yeah its hard For one thing what modern banks have that much money cash? I read there was a lot of gold

55:59 Well, there's a lot of gold. Yeah you read yeah There was a lot of and there's also a lot of gold in town I mean most of these Middle Easter if you've been to the Middle East and go to these cities There's gold shops mm-hmm There's like and that's all they do is sell gold And you if your the rate here's your rating the place You just bust into the gold shop and just steal all the gold you say give it give us the gold and these guys are out of business now and i'm sure they did a lot of that is about but if you were sort looking into these guys are like classic like mafia style mobsters in the old syrian sense because the syrians used to do this as it was uh... state-sponsored terrorism operation years ago before the new aside came into being and so it's not like that in many of these methodologies and are completely alien to those these people that are involved with this with his gangsterism

56:47 But still, $400 million and apparently their net worth or total nut that they have access to according to some sources is two billion dollars. Oh sure, why not? But that's only...that's not even half of what we've actually made available with the five billion anti-counterterrorism funds. I know they got plenty they only get a chunk of it and whatever the case is like a scam of the highest proportions They're using that as leverage hey! We got a cosigner! We stole it from the bank! I don't believe this now I agree

57:24 Nowadays banks, you know they only have safe for people with safe deposit boxes. They don't carry any money. Everything's done electronically! In fact this has probably been launched into the world as a ruse to empty out some slush fund. Oh they stole it I had it sitting there in Mosul what would you know? They got to me they stole it yeah It was a money laundering scam so with this we can learn that If you look at history, you can see that it pretty much always repeats itself. Certainly if people don't read history its always going to repeat itself and the grand game is very clear all the same people to the north and south block out Russia lock out by proxy Iran this Emry slaughter she's all over bombing Syria apparently

58:27 I'm not quite sure what her beef is, but we have to bomb Syria. Why not? We just nuked the whole place! Oh no that might disturb your actual oil transport." So just keep your eye on Israel's moves because they're the recipients. And they are the traffickers, they're going to traffic it up into Europe We cut everybody off Next move I think is China You know, China has been doing some interesting things Of course... They now are hooking up directly with the Canadian tar sands But I guess we've waited long enough on that

59:08 for the... Yeah, they're running a pipeline from Alberta to the coast. The other way as opposed to Keystone which I think one of the reasons we have so many people pushing for Keystone is to finish it. To sell it to China No, because that's going down to... I don't think so. That's to sell it to Europe. Okay. So keep it away from China? And we're in the deal if we're selling it to Europe but the Chinese deal would be straight Canadian-to-China sales We'd have nothing to do with it. It looks like they've got a done deal now Canada approves new oil pipeline to the Pacific coast Yeah, that would go out to probably... yeah

59:49 Vancouver, that's where it would go. But the big port is in Vancouver and so they would haul big giant tankers full I don't know how deep that port is if its a super-deep water port but they can dig it up And the Chinese, they're sly man. So here's a couple other headlines... Yeah they are! I tell you, you gotta watch them and keep your eye on them. That's very sneaky. Very sneaky bastards. Chinese Premier Premier Premier Vows to invest in Greek railways to improve transport link to Europe. Oh so you know what? If we're not going to bring it into Europe well at least we'll transport it through Europe They really don't care

1:00:29 China also agreeing to design and run the new United Kingdom nuclear power plants. What? Yeah! China wins stake in British nuclear power and high-speed rail, here you go Well that one snuck by us Uh huh let me see who's reporting I don't see that on the evening news That's a big deal It is a big deal well China's been given the chance to take a decisive stake in the next stage of Britain's energy and transport infrastructure as Chinese companies won the right to own and operate a nuclear power station, AND help build high-speed rail lines. Well listen nothing can be worse than that virgin crap so you know people are probably

1:01:13 exasperated like okay, we'll take it. Why would you use the Chinese technology as opposed to the French technologies? The French are the inventors of high-speed rail they still have a very...they have a beautiful network that works on both high speed and low speed tracks They haven't figured out and they are really the engineering Well experts in this regard. Well, this is interesting from a geopolitical strategic standpoint the agreements were among trade deals worth 14 billion pounds agreed with Beijing during the visit of the Chinese premier Li Kang young Which prompted David Cameron to declare Britain is playing a part in the rise of China? which he calls a defining event of the 21st century and

1:02:02 The prime minister voted out the well yeah, the Prime Minister said quote ours is truly a partnership for growth reform and innovation our Partnership goes well Let me finish the coat our partnership goes. Well beyond the economic field the UK recognizes The rise of China is one of the defining events of our century Sounds to me like someone gone his on his back and put his legs up in the air and went do me Okay So here's what happened they wanted to put some high-speed rail in because it was the thing, right? England is so small that you don't need high... By the time the train gets up to speed, you're already there. It's useless. I mean, the difference with a high-speed rail they had this and I took the high-speed train in Sweden between Stockholm and Gothenburg but then the train stopped in the middle of the trip because there was a cow on the track

1:02:57 But be that as it may, the old train took like an hour longer and it was a luxurious train. This train they have which is one of the ones that swivels on the track makes you sick when you get on it. It's like a nauseating ride, it's horrible They don't need these kinds of high-speed rails in these very short trip areas. I mean, where are you going to be going from and to that? You need a high speed rail in England if you can think of a place...I can't. Oxford to London. Newquay! We need we need to go to Newquay to party It doesn't make it is just so but they put it out anyway because it was important because all these you know this was again the liberals in in the Parliament

1:03:35 thinking it's a great thing to do. They put it out for bid, the French came in with a reasonable bid and probably what it would cost would have kept the money within the EU because there supposed to be all these partnerships that go on within the EU and the French should've gotten that contract- Can I just give you the answer? Now that I've found it? Yeah Okay That was one side of the deal On the other side of the deal up to 12 billion pounds close A gas supply contract was unveiled by major UK firms during the premier's visit. The deal will provide state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corporation, CNOOC with liquefied natural gas for 20 years! Meanwhile Royal Dutch Shell extend an agreement with CNOOC to work on energy projects around the world." In other words it's about the gas it's not at all about the stupid trains. Okay this brings in two other points I don't think it's just about the gas I also think that Chinese lowballed the French

1:04:31 Mean there's no way the French are gonna. Oh, no but they do that everywhere of course they love Yeah, of course of course just whatever it is will just lower the price hell with it We don't care and Rolls-Royce also got a deal to To build stuff for the nuclear reactors was good Well they're putting new Nuclear reactor in the Chinese are taking this gap that means there's going to be fracking all over England Yes as huge scandal if you watch the four overseas reports yes, French It will not do this my other way now The French have said no to fracking, so they're not going to have their country all shaking and rattling and rolling. Now this is a mess! What is wrong with England?

1:05:13 It's no more or less that it is wrong here, it's just we're much bigger. Which is bigger! Yeah, when you know... We're fracking all over the place but doesn't really bother me here And we can put the high-speed rail in You know we have that high speed rail line they want to put between San Francisco and Bakersfield That's gonna pack them in Oh yeah Big hit Yeah honey what are you going to do this afternoon? I'm gonna take the high speed rail to Fresno What are you gonna do in Fresno? Well nothing Well this is very interesting The things that are happening Just staying in Europe for a moment And then we should thank some people. But now there's two major presidencies up for grabs and I think i made a mistake, the... Now I believe that Hela Thorna Jørgensen whatever her name is the girl

1:06:04 from Denmark, that she will become president of the EU. But she will not... The two jobs that are up for grabs are Heiko Hermann's job That's the one that she will get Then the other one is Barroso's job And that is the one that Merkel who of course really is the President of the EU She's really running this show She wants Jean-Claude Juncker JUNCKER! The European Central Bank dude to take over the Barroso job, which Cameron doesn't want. And Cameron is now saying oh we're gonna leave the EU if you bring that in- that guy in! In fact today... Now the press is getting in on it because now it has to be fun. Which article was this? This is The Daily Mail of course, she wants something accurate. Is quoting at the Cameron campus saying this Jean Claude Juncker guy he drinks cognac for breakfast! He's a drunk

1:07:03 We can't have him running the EU. I have a picture of him, you know eating and his wine glass is being filled up and he's ogling this wine glass like fill it up more more i want more they're calling him a drunk that's good little slander a little uh smear that's good yeah so Cameron is i mean he might as well just get ready to leave He has to leave the eu not the uk! He has to get out...He's completely messed it up Then we have, and I'm a little concerned about this. The Euroskeptic parties have not completely joined all forces as Nigel Farage and UKIP... that was the whole point is to have all these Eurosceptic parties bond together in the European Parliament, have a block vote so they could take over some power. Unfortunately Le Pen and Wilders had been cut out of the deal

1:08:00 So now it's Farage with UKIP and the Swedes, and some French members of European Parliament. But not Le Pen and Wilders. And now you've got to question Farage... Why would he cut those guys out of the deal? Well that is a good one! I don't know why. Well for one thing, I know one thing He's not going to get as big a block as he wanted. I thought Le Pen's party was pretty powerful What, because people called her dad a neo-Nazi because Wilders apparently hates Muslims? I mean what is the deal all of a sudden now he's holier than thou. Well he...I know that Farage is paranoid about the name calling

1:08:52 You know, when they say it's a Nazi party is a fascist. A bunch of fascists you know there essentially have form of libertarianism the way I see it but there's a lot of skinny heads in the UKIP and that sort of thing and I think he's like so he wants to distance himself because I think he's more interested in English success in England so he can become prime minister. Yeah, good point. Good point! And she gives it... She doesn't even care about the you know about the uh He thinks they use a bunch of bullcrap anyway Good point well there You have it that's I'll just say let's keep it at that analysis He doesn't really care about Europe we only cares about England and honestly That's all he ever talks about yeah no he's a nationalist and then in Poland this is pretty cool

1:09:39 You won't hear much about this. There was an audio tape revealed by a Polish magazine of Interior Minister of Poland and the Central Bank Chief of Poland in this recording which was made last July in a private room of a Warsaw restaurant, the two men were discussing how the central bank would help the government out of its economic troubles if it's heading for election defeat So they're kind of stacking the deck like, hey we'll do this for you guys if you did this for us. And so it looks like we might have snap elections very quickly in Poland because this is a huge scandal and then the authorities tried to raid the magazine's offices and grab all their files and...and of course rightfully so the editor of the magazine is making a big stink about it. He says oh okay what are now? In Nazi Germany?!

1:10:45 Huh. Yeah, well that makes sense and now we should be investigating all central bankers in their connections to political...to the political establishment. Yeah well that would include us big time All right! Well I'm tired now Okay let's take a look at it Let's thank some...it was good It was impounding the same oil drum but uh-huh Hey hey heyo! In the morning! I wish we could... If all your evidence leads to the same thing, that same oil drum you pounded. It's turf and resources and hookers! You have no choice. I wish we could find some of the hookers it was about. They don't seem to pop up anymore. These guys, the hookers thing is just yeah, I know. This actually makes it less interesting

1:11:35 All right, let's thank a few people who gave us some help. We got a lot of executive producers today and there seemed to be like a run... A bunch of people realized that for $200 they can get us to say stuff! Yeah? Oh is it one of those all right so there was a number of interesting two hundred dollar donations that came in but a lot of the donations have these These messages so and we are obliged by our own rules to read them, and that will take up some time Yes So to reiterate executive producers and associate executive producers these are the people who have helped out the most on each individual episode just like Hollywood We give you a credit

1:12:19 You know, after the opening of the show. We're still in somewhere after the opening of the show They are actual legitimate credits and in our case since we don't have you can't hang out with the actors or anything We will read your notes on there And we do edit some of them a little bit, because some of them get burdensomely weird. I wanted to mention that anyone who gives anything at $5 and 10 and 12, we look at those...I mean those are all...and people put notes there sometimes. We read all that to each other. They're just as useful. I don't want to dissuade anyone from donating 14 dollars

1:12:55 But Sir Don Tommaso de Toronto from Kettleby, Ontario came in with this show number 628. John and Adam catching up on the old shows where you opened on the war... You opined on the War On Men The man-hating version of misogynist is misandrist And if you hate everyone kind of like John, you're a misanthrope! DEVORAHK!!! Here's my donation for episode 628 Greetings from the Northlands and TYFYC. Thank you for your courage! I'd like to love some karma. Oh, absolutely Don Tommaso DiToronto as requested during his knighting You've got karma. Thank you very much And he will be the sole member of the 628 club today

1:13:48 Marvin Britton in Bellevue, Nebraska 444 44 may want to warn Adam to find the manning clip I'm asking for it's been a while since has been played in case quatro sanco donation It should be sanko quattro. It seems to me Don't you think? It's, you know, it was always interesting. Yeah anyway... Is it okay to say I punched my wife in the mouth a while ago? Yeah! I'm a longtime boner and my wife has been the voice of guilt about my lack of donations we both decided to forego a couple of gift opportunities to each other to pool money and make a decent repayment of value for value thank you for the infotainment

1:14:32 Can we get a de-douching, short version of the whoopum with the Constitution and uh... And General Karma. Absolutely! That's Marvin and Peggy Britton from Bellevue, Nebraska who have foregone giving each other gifts for awhile. That's sweet. It's just a gift?

Hey Geddy and Alex I figured since the time this time last year asked for front row Rush ticket karma and it worked there is no tour this year there is time to direct my yeah this is the guy who wants know what you think of rush the band Anyway, once the director's hard-earned money to the best podcast in universe special after listening to John give us the alternatives of what we'd have To listen to if this show were to go away in episode 625 I want to avoid this and any douchebaggery that comes with not donating can I get a don't laugh jingle? And it don't laugh adult rough and general karma for everybody especially you too. I Don't know what I do without the show so do I have to answer that about the robot yeah, I think so

1:21:50 I like Rush. I'm not a Rushie, I'm not one of those people who are crazy... It's a Canadian group it was still in business i think right? Oh yeah they tour all the time that's what they do and then people who are really into Rush proclaim them without shame or question as the best band ever! Yeah Yeah, it's always been baffling to me that anyone would make that assertion. I mean they're a good band but... John at curry dot com everybody. Don't laugh! Why you are laughing? Shut up! You've got karma. Shut up! Helen Barber in Willeton Perth

1:22:36 Western Australia our favorite place 236 78 2 3 6 7 8 this donation is to mark my birthday and Monday 223 678 hence, two three six seven eight I want to hear Adam talk about Orange is the new black John you keep shutting him down each time He tries to talk about it one or more of its writers as clearly a member of the no agenda family Did you see the episode about Cindy? The TSA agent The dope-smoking TSA agent. Yeah, and iPad stealing. So that's the last episode I've seen. I've seen up to episode six and there are thirteen in this series? And quite honestly we haven't sat down to watch any more yet it has not been compelling Do you see any possibility that one of the writers is a no agenda listener? They usually signal somehow or some shape or form

1:23:34 No, not yet. I have not because the signals would be very obvious there would have to be a 33 and in the morning combo... In the morning that's what we do it yeah Yeah in the morning with a 33 combo something like that Yeah that would be the key But just because other people are on to this fact If the TSA is not necessarily there to protect you from box-cutting, boob bomb wielding terrorists that doesn't necessarily mean they listen to no agenda. I would just say be happy at least some people also have a clue but mind you this is on Netflix This is not on ABC or CBS or NBC it's Netflix and that should give you a clue

1:24:22 Yeah. You're not going to see this necessarily on the big networks where you are meant to remain indoctrinated and kept stupid. Ryan Spletzer in Midland, Michigan 22222 I wanted to show my support after Show 625's lack of producers which you guys do on a twice weekly basis saves me tons of time not to mention Sanity! By not having to watch the lamestream media, I'm glad to hear The Synergy Project came up on the show. Wow a lot of people responded that yeah I've got fellow developer and heavy user of The Synergy Program and like it but like this show it deserves the support of its users to keep going support your software developers make quality open source products can you get at George Clooney's A Spy Karma? Absolutely Ryan thank you very much for mentioning that yes support your independent developers people

1:25:13 George Clooney! George Clooney is a spy. You've got karma Rob Wales in Concord West, New South Wales. Another Aussie coming in at 20202 back home and Oz after a three week holiday in the States I have a few observations to make chem trails everywhere crisscrossing the sky fluoride working well everyone was polite friendly and calm almost no agro at all medical marijuana in California also working well the homeless just get stoned and hang out and sell a bit of their stash to make some easy money

1:25:51 Coffee, very ordinary. I couldn't get a rich creamy cappuccino anywhere and the coffee was... you went to Starbucks? Yeah The coffee wasn't bad but nothing to write home about perhaps they should introduce real unadulterated cow's milk to the market Hello! So you'd love to taste a full cream milk medical ads on, oh okay. You love the taste? Well you would actually when you go to Italy and have a cappuccino that's made with full cream. Oh my goodness! But they make it with 2% at the Starbucks and all these other places because it foams up faster. However- A cappuccino machine I have done this with real full, there was all that grease in normal milk It takes forever to foam it up. Yeah however when you order a cappuccino in the Italian

1:26:32 Cafferia. They do give you that look like, pfft! Why are you ruining this perfectly good coffee with milk? Well they'd prefer you drink double espressos. Exactly. Medical ads on TV they work my son-in-law was wanting to buy one of the drugs being promoted he reckons it sounds cool Pawn shops and payday lenders everywhere seem like there was one on every corner in some places. There's a sign of the times that ever there was TSA varies from place to place coming I liked this report as a good report Yeah, TSA very someplace a place coming in took hours to get through immigration to baggage by the way I need to say something important people TSA is not the same as customs and border protection

1:27:18 Okay, the people who look at your passport are not TSA. This... I'm always baffled why people... Ah! TSA can look at your shit when you come into the country! No, TSA is Transportation Security Administration for internal use before you get into these safe side of the terminal Customs Border Protection CPB Right They do work for Department Homeland Security they have guns And they're the ones sitting in the booth being rude to you when you try to enter our country. How dare you? Right, well anyway he seems to be going from place-to-place within the country so those are mostly TSA comments. Bob Hope and Burbank was great reminding me of travel pre WTC bombing Vegas was a pain our line was so long for the body scan machines The lady decided to put us through the metal detector which moved much more quickly He says mental detector actually but... Yeah he says mental detector

1:28:11 Still I had to take off my shoes and belt. SFO in LA, same thing lines everywhere people in fancy In a fancy dress, IE military uniform shouting and waving everywhere And I nearly lost my pants when I had to take my belt off. I go to listen to the show live for the first time But i'm not happy with John! I was staying on a houseboat in Sausalito kept waving across the bay but he just ignored me and didn't wave back Okay He mean that would be Rob Wales and people do love you. It's obvious I'd like to wave at me You should get out of the way hands Peter shelled

1:30:25 Yeah, well that's why they couldn't get anywhere in the World Cup. Mike Dacock in S Chandler Arizona in the morning I just short note to thank you for the great show and call out people who make a producer level donation there's few he says He wants to make a call-out To people who make a producer level donation few things are as thrilling As being able to make your favorite host read your note on the air I can even make John say I'm a little teapot. Wait a minute, wait a minute you didn't do that let's do that with a little echo just to make it cool You want me to do the echo? No no i'll do the echo you do the read A few things are as thrilling as being able to make your favorite host on your air say...read your note on the air I can even make John say I'm a little teapot It was funnier first time I could have done it myself Keep up the great work and some general karma all the listeners Absolutely thank you so much Mr. DeCock

1:31:22 You've got karma. My god, that's amazing cracks me up too and I believe it's from Borderlands 2 or it sounds like Ashley Burch who is voice acting Tiny Tine in Borderlands 2. Now we might as well talk about this briefly here This is from the cartoon Archer and archer is kind of a wacky cartoon I think it was like an adult swim or something And it's interesting because there's a call back to Isis in there

1:32:10 They have like the international spies intelligence service or something right there's a lot of stuff that kind of crosses over and Someone just clipped this one particular bit out and sent it to us, but it works really well From Archer yes as one of our favorites onward Last but not least, this is actually his real name is SirFaceOfFEMA5. I think that's what the name he wants us to use. Okay? And he sent a note and this came in over the mail It has been a couple of months since my last donation and my boner was starting to show Along with my donation you shall find a no agenda coffee mug yes He sent a coffee mug it's very pretty one too

1:32:59 Sorry, Adam. I only had one to spare that's all right may get it That's another was I got the coffee mug now get a jobs karma and don't wrath writing to you from FEMA region 5 Chicago where they Speed cameras keep the slaves in line okay? Okay, so he wants a Don't draft and jobs Karma yeah, I guess so okay We can do that not a problem don't laugh why are you laughing oh Shut up. You've got karma shut up jobs Jobs and jobs let's vote for almost you find it odd I mean this of course is a function of the random number theory that we do get these multiple requests or the same out-of-the blue Sound effect like we have had don't raff for weeks on end well, that's why yeah, I'm convinced that people sit around going hey man He didn't play don't raff again. I gotta go request it

1:34:05 Anyway, that concludes our group of great associate and executive associate producers Executive Producers and Associate Executive Producers for show 628. We do have a show coming up on Thursday 629 Dvorak org slash na would be the place to go to jump on board Yes indeed And we say congratulations to Stephen Schwartz Kilo alpha 5 whiskey Juliet Yankee Adam and John you inspired me to get back into ham radio after several years off the day off the air Today I passed the exam for extra. Whoo That's the top of the bill. Thank you for your courage 73s to you Steven, Kilo Alpha 5 Whiskey Juliet Yankee that's right The No Agenda Show single-handedly bringing back ham radio into en vogue And I'll give my call letters too Kevin Johnson 6 liquid natural gas It's like is John really gonna get on D star? Really do you think he's gonna get on D star? The iCom guy is raised like hey is John getting a D Star if the iCom guy can set me up

1:35:08 You have no shame! Perfect. Alright everybody, please continue to do one very important thing Your mission is to go out and propagate our formula Our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth Shut up slave Before we continue I see you've got some fun clips Which of course, I didn't and then I never hear the clips before the show. I have no idea what they what? Got a couple of fun because he wanted to use little segway or some humor Well, I was just going to throw a couple things by it just to wrap up some housekeeping Okay one

1:35:57 Thank you everybody for letting me know and apparently reminding John that the Reverend Melissa Scott, who sounds like Kimberly Kagan used to be a porn star who went by the name of Barbie Bridges. And special thanks to the producers who took the extra effort to send me pictures You are good doobies indeed. It's funny and John says, oh yeah I knew that! What? You didn't bring that up on the show. You know for some reason i lost track of it. I did know it though. Wow and that's true she really was a porn star Yeah that's how Gene Scott met her. Saved her. Turned into a minister. She got saved all right. I'll bet she did uh thank you again to everyone who's been working diligently on having all our

1:36:43 the plethora of podcast apps update to our feed, our new feed which has been new for over two years. And thank you too... Well the Roku app now also has been updated and sometimes there's a pain like the Roku guy he had to resubmit his app to have the feed updated and he says it could take 2 weeks anyway that got fixed so that's updated Farmer Chris says yay! He is very happy because now he is getting the show on whatever the name of that app was I forget the name. And very important news, a bit technology oriented...I learned something which i actually wrote about and blogged about it you probably didn't see it John we've been using BitTorrent Sync for quite awhile now and promoting its use as the future of large media distribution and I think has been working quite well people have been... I'v heard no complaints from anyone who's gone on board

1:37:41 Well, there's a problem. Uh-oh! And I received an email from... and I replied immediately but have not heard back from someone at BitTorrent support And here is what she said Analyzing my debug logs made me think the problem—and the problem is apparent A lot of people are setting this up and nothing happens Nothing comes into the folder The problem is caused by maximum number of peers allowed to connect being reached This forced me to write you in order to investigate this issue. I don't think this person is a native English speaker The thing is that only 50 peers are allowed to be connected to one share In other words, once you have created a secret and shared it with others Only 50 devices can get connected to it

1:38:30 I suppose you spread your podcast all over the world and it's popular with a lot of people. I receive reports from the United States, Australia... All over the world! So when some US clients close their devices or get disconnected then other people like people in Australia can get connected and vice versa? I hope the situation is clear." Well hello BitTorrent unfortunately this situation is all too clear What the fuck?! The whole idea You should name it something else other than BitTorrent Sync. The whole thinking is if we all keep our clients up and running, we're actually going to help propagate the network but if you have a 50 peer limit... What? No wonder it's not working! I turn my BitTorrent client on and it fills up with fifty people in three seconds.

1:39:22 Maybe you can then get bounced around and pick it up from another one, but I'm here And everybody's got at least 50 peers connected to them all the time so either there's a At best. There's a marketing mistake You're making here are you? I thought that they were doing something really great it turns out They're just doing kind of a drop box What is this this is very disappointing I didn't know this. This is all news to me." And if you looked into the documentation, it mentions nothing about a limitation... Nothing in the FAQs. I found nothing on the forums. Why would they do that? Because BitTorrent itself doesn't have a limitation does it? No! Not that I know of. So the only thing I can think of and this will be very disappointing but the only thing I can think of Is there's a business model in here for them Oh, you want more than 50 people now you have to pay for it That's all I can think of why else would you do it

1:40:15 And is it 50 only to the originator of the secret key? Or is it 50 for every single peer that's connected, and maybe we just...we do indeed need more peers. Because I know at Kentwood this problem really only started to get serious in the past couple weeks We've had more than- Yeah because we got more people using it! But yeah but we've had more than fifty people for a long long time Fifty was maybe the first show even So it must be fifty per person who's actually connected So either, I don't know if it helps if we can get more people. Do we need more people sharing or have more people disconnecting? I don't know and you know- But do we have a discussion under way are you in talks with the company? No because I replied immediately and said oh well holy crap what do we do what's the deal What is the limitation? I get no reply so then I write it up on my blog I tweeted I direct my tweet at the CEO of BitTorrent who has raised his hand In the past he's gone silent

1:41:12 What is it? We're like the number one promoters of this and I feel boned. Well, you know what happened right? You did make the fuss you did point in the right direction they did get the message and now they're having meetings It's a company now well can they so nobody is saying anything until their out at the meeting Okay well I hope that understand that I love this idea, and i'm okay with... Look, I don't mind paying for software development or something. If it's going to be a license fee that's probably not going to work for us because the whole idea of broadcasting podcasting is that the more people you have on board the less your distribution should cost and of course it's exactly the opposite

1:41:58 with bandwidth as well. The more listeners you have, the more infrastructure, the more bandwidth and the more you have to pay which we do ourselves I might point out. Yes, we have a system yeah but it still has an upside limitation then it starts to become outrageously expensive. NBC would...you know..you can't do it I mean, you can do download and play but streaming or this sort of distribution mechanism where you'd hope that it was some sort of system that people shared

1:42:35 I mean, essentially the idea between BitTorrent is that there's so many people out there they'll have this piece of a file and they share it. And what's interesting is...I'm just looking at the chat room and saying no you need to siege! You don't understand this is not the same as a torrent apparently we've been misled. But the whole... because the name BitTorrent is in, the way I viewed it is this is essentially BitTorrent where instead of going to the hassle of creating a torrent uploading the torrent to a tracker You know, it pretty much kills... and then having someone download with a client. Crap! It says you install this thing it works and feels and smells like Dropbox. Beautiful except that works like BitTorrent That's what I understood this to be Now it turns out they have a limitation on it which is in fact very similar to Dropbox

1:43:29 where there is a limitation on how many people you can share your box with, unless you get into enterprise-level distribution. So if all I need to know is A.) Is this limitation removable? If yes what are the resources and our costs associated with it—I say resources specifically because maybe the way it's set up would flood my mind... I don't know who knows let me know B, can we help build the distribution by indeed having more people connect and have their 50 fill up? Or do we need to have people disconnect

1:44:10 so that other people can come on board. Which is kind of the message I was getting, is until you...until people get kicked off or leave other people can't come on which is counterintuitive to this thing that lives either in your system tray or in your applications menu and it's kind of supposed to live there all the time So you don't turn that off. So yeah let's hopefully they'll have them... Well this will resolve I think your initial kind of sense might be correct. It's a business model, they see the success of Dropbox and they really don't have a business model for BitTorrent per se that would make anyone a billionaire which is what you want to do if you're living around here apparently it's only way that I guess she can get by and they may have something going on then we're just unaware of it now we're gonna find out! We'll be within the next couple shows will have answer back I think there just

1:45:04 They're formulating something to tell you. Okay, and then I just have one thing for you my friend um so and i haven't pointed to it...I won't tweet it..i don't like that they do this particularly but your most recent speech in Detroit was videoed and put online okay yeah and i'm not even gonna say what it was because then people could find it and i don't like that because i feel that's kind of proprietary to you and it's kind of your speech, and you're going to do it more times. Well there are two things... One that they agreed to do that And I don't normally like the idea either But one of the things that goes on with speakers bureaus-and I haven't been doing a lot of speeches recently because the speakers bureaus They've changed their style. This happens all the time. They say well we need a video of you

1:45:55 Oh, they need to have that. Right? So we can show how incredibly great your pen joke is! So they need a video and so I'm always looking...I had some old videos but they're so dated you know And then there will be a Macintosh and it's available to all Well, I do have a... They'll take the lease and it will no longer be sold! I do have a comment on your speech It made me very sad. Oh, it was a depressing speech. Yes! And you emailed me separately I hadn't even told you about this and somewhere in the... sometimes we have little back-and-forth about a clip or something and you said yes we are minutes from the meltdown luckily i don't see a triggering mechanism yet and I'm just like.. and I had to think about this and I've been walking around for day or two thinking you know really is good that the crux of

1:46:53 The conclusion, I think of a lot of what you were saying in your speech. And it's a very good speech! It's fun because you take us through a circular journey where... if you don't mind me just paraphrasing... Where we start out where we as computer users were mastered- We had to suck the dick of the masters of the computer in the cloud To get computer time or my- Please read my punch card and we've come full circle. And it's gotten so bad, we now don't even use a computer! We use a little tiny piece of glass that fits in our hand and we're still slaves to the master of the cloud!" Yeah that's pretty much this story... But of course the way you tell it is beautiful but very depressing

1:47:36 Well, the audience was... I don't know how well the mic, the audience was miked but I got one of the best responses. You got some good questions at the end there. And I had a lot of people laughing at my material which is what the goal is you know if they don't get a laugh I'm always little bummed but it got a lot of response everybody was in agreement with the thesis which is that and we've talked about on this show that we devolved the whole scene has devolved into Facebook tweets and just nonsense as everything Would you like to sign in using your Facebook is the thing that, the more recent thing that bugs me the most. I go to somebody's website and they say you have to register, you can't look at this stuff. Okay would you like just use your Facebook design? No! This isn't Facebook why should even think about that? Why do any what does anybody ask that question? What kind of deal does Facebook do with these little websites

1:48:32 It's a scam. Well, there is a lot going on there obviously but... Which I said Netflix and Facebook is all it's about we've just deteriorated in all of the tech reporting now just about what color the new phone isn't what new phone just came out and what new feature this one phone has got 3D screen Then we go on and on about it. Who cares? But what's really sad is that if you know the, really the history...and that's what you tell so well because you witness a lot of it! The history of the personal computing revolution and how we were going to have such control over what we could do with these nifty devices and how we have let that slip away so easily into worshipping apps It's just sad Yeah

1:49:24 Anyway, I'll have to download a copy. The good news is on this show we still have such an instantaneous communication mechanism and it's working so seamlessly that we can get this kind of thing while we're doing the show live. F***! There you go Fully. John Fletcher to the rescue! John Fletcher, our man who can scream better than anybody. He's essentially John Fogarty And I have one final and then i'll shut up uh... I spoke to a guy who had not spoken for a long time he's kind of a New York media executive. I knew him from the MTV days. He called me on something unrelated and we were kinda catching up and says oh you know this documentary that never saw the light today so what is it? This is Emmy award-winning guy

1:50:10 So what is it? It was John Kerry. It was called Inside the Bubble and we were following him when he was running for president, but of course you know he didn't win so no documentary which tells me Kerry was financing it but I didn't ask him. I said well tell me my impression is the guy's dumb as wood! He says you know what here's the thing with Kerry... The more you get to know them the less you like them Like, I need to quote you on that in the show. So yes apparently we're pretty spot-on with our analysis of Mr. Kerry but also he said as Secretary of State just the jet lag alone... He says this guy can't be normal! He is a walking zombie

1:50:59 He says there's no normal human being can actually live that life and be any more than the zombie that he is. In fact, I wasn't gonna do this... Here's a... Do you remember that lame joke that Kerry pulled out a couple weeks ago about Churchill when people gave him standing ovation? Remind me! He was like Winston Churchill said the only reason people give you a standing ovation is to shift their underwear And then he went on to say, but I'm sure you have much more noble reasons to give me a standing ovation. So now Kerry is late everywhere and he's always blaming it on...I'm sorry! I can't help it! I'm busy! I'm trying to save the world in Iraq, Iraq, Iraq. Then he did it again! Thank you very much thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you I love it so much

1:51:57 Thank you very much. Oh, I love you. I love me Listen to this and this adulation is sickening Thank you very much thank you very much. Thank you. I remind all of you that Winston Churchill said the only reason people give a standing ovation is they desperately need an excuse to shift their underwear. It works again! I have to do this all the time, but wait i'll continue...I'm on a roll

1:52:40 He said that, I'm promising. I'm proud he said that! What? But i know you had a much more noble cause in mind... Which would be me of course! You actually love me! Uh..I was really baffled standing up here for a moment and I'm staring at this elephant and kept looking around for the donkey. I can't find the donkey. Now people just laughing because like- That's dumb! Ha ha hooo whatever! Oh, yes. Hilarious! Let's do more! I'm an equal stuffed animal opportunity guy. I'm an equal stuffed animal opportunity guy... What?

1:53:22 But let's laugh anyway! Ha ha ha! I walked into the hold room back here where i had a chance to say hi to Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen and... Oh, you mean those guys who take money from anybody? Serene Highness and others. And at least they have the goodness to put us in a room where the sign above it said mammals. HA HA HAAAAA So I felt right at home. What a dick He's just trying to get a laugh. I don't think that makes him a dick. Oh, please come on! Doing old material... Well i don't understand why he would do that because it gets recorded everywhere he goes It's because he's so insane from the travel You know it doesn't cost that much to buy a joke writer But that's what he thinks he can do it because he's getting that kind of laughs like oh I can do this? I got this. I got it nailed

1:54:15 So there was an event this weekend or this week that was in Washington, D.C., it was done by your buddy Rex Reed or whatever his name is? My buddy? Well you brought him up into the conversation a couple shows ago. That guy Rex is not Rex Reed, Rex Reed's the gay movie critic and so this other guy... Whatever his name- Harry Reid?! No no! Reed, the kid, yeah the Christian kid that got busted because he was involved with the lobbyist scandal Okay. Well, whatever. The guy can still throw an event. So they had this big event and they had Barbara Bachmann. And Barbara Bachmann actually...this is a little clip of her speech she was actually getting the...she gave the best speech it was actually arousing speech but there was that she did she still makes these interesting little flaws

1:55:06 Hillary Clinton's foreign policy has gotten us today in the United States. Terrorists are on the march in Iraq, it was last week this morning when we woke up and found out that the worst of the worst terrorists so brutal, so violent that even Al Qaeda has renounced them they're called ISIS or ISIL these terrorists virtually in a blitzkrieg took over one third of Iraq in a stunning display where they have taken not only American tanks, American trucks and high-powered weapons. They're also now reportedly taking over chemical weapon caches as well. A chemical weapon cache? She was on her own until she hit the... We're sorry! We have to vote you off the show!

1:56:06 Caché. How's your cachet doing? Oh, how is the chemical weapon cachet? Yes that's very... I love that cache it's a very beautiful thing That's a good buzzer by the way because my buzzer doesn't like that mine is... I like that buzzer better Let me just hear this you can send me that buzzer because I wouldn't mind using that one Speaking over chemical weapon cachets as well That's a very good buzzer Josh Yeah, I saw parts of that speech. I didn't see that but all she missed was saying Iraqi... the Al-Qaeda army. Yeah she didn't say that. She got everything else right. That I recall. Yeah she got everything else right So i've got a couple..I guess just a little break this is the lighter part of the show right here

1:56:55 I want you to determine... What are you talking about? I thought the Iraqi, the ISIS army was uh, Al Qaeda Army was a light part of this show. Yeah that's really... I got a couple quizzes for ya Oh good we love quizzes! We've got what is The Network This is a show thats called its about the aliens when they invade and what were gonna do about it and all the rest of it Okay And now here's the clip and I wan't you tell me The Network That it ran on. Beyond. Okay Alright here we go Theory is logical Probes landed on the moon three years before humans did. NASA has sent probes to every planet in the solar system and beyond If the aliens are not biological, The harvesters may not be collecting Earth's organic material for food but for fuel Processing our planets life forms into long-lasting biofuel

1:57:55 If the invaders are simply drones, that is why they never answered our pleas for peace. That's why they display indifference at the destruction of intelligent life forms. If the aliens are machines, this may offer another tactic in the case of non-biological attackers there is one final step in the plans to fight the alien invasion Somehow we've got to get some troops inside the technology shut the technology down and a mission like that is definitely going to be high risk

1:58:30 The plan is simple, low-tech and suicidal. Next! Well this is an easy one Okay Clearly this is the Home & Garden Television Network Close I would say the History Channel probably Well you know that would make sense because most recently they haven't done anything on history Yeah Except unless it involves Nazi flying saucer technology Which is always nice So this, no. This is I think another fine example of where this country's headed. Yes? This is the National Geographic Channel! Wow NatGeo huh?! Interesting... So instead of actually providing us with any useful information we're actually doing reports that might have something to do with the National Geographic magazine or at least the way we used to think it would happen What happened to naked brown chicks you know what we used to watch for the boobs get the magazine

1:59:32 Hey man, my parents got National Geographic magazine. There's some naked boobs in there Anyway so I just thought that was well just to give you okay since you got that one wrong and have to do one more Oh no! Yeah one more this is what is the movie guess the movie? Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa hold on we have a don't we have a jingle for that yeah We do hold on a second here. Here we go guess that movie And now it's time for another episode of Guess That Movie. Alright everybody, time for Guess That Movie! It's the show where if I get wrong my nuts get electrocuted This has happened before thousands of years ago and the ancients were there to see it All the great constructions The Mayans...the Chinese..The Egyptians They made use of the gravitational effects of the convergence and they left us a map Stonehenge

2:00:24 Snowden, Great Dorm. These are all coordinates taking us here. Greenwich? The walls between worlds will be almost non-existent physics is gonna go ballistic increases and decreases in gravity spatial extrusions the very fabric of reality is going to be torn apart I better get my pants. Well, this is another obvious one you make it way too easy for me You haven't been right ever clearly this is Ferris Bueller's day off Or it could be journey to the center of the earth or Indiana Jones in the temple of doom

2:01:06 Yeah. That's how this guy got his pants at the end! What? So, uh... No! This is Thor The Dark World! It's on HBO or TMC or something as we speak I have not seen that Oh then you're not keeping up By the way, Wag The Dog apparently is playing this month on HBO If you have not seen Wag The Dog It is very a propos and perhaps somewhat of a coincidence I think not that it is playing right now on HBO. It's a message Here is a quick clip speaking of conspiracy theories we have a new spokeshole in the White House administration For those of you who are not savvy to the American lingo when someone's name is Josh Earnest, it Is kind of like a disc jockey being named Bubba The Love Sponge

2:01:57 So, earnest means someone is forthright upright honest and Josh is pretty much taken from the to josh someone or to rib someone or to poke fun at make fun of or perhaps maybe lie a little bit. Have I explained that properly? That's good enough for me And this is regarding the IRS emails and now the reason I will stay on this On this particular topic and in fact i'm very happy someone sent me a link to Steve Stockman. Steve stockman is a congressmen

2:02:36 And he has, and this is on his congressman website at stockman.house.gov And uh... He has a little joke, he says here's the reading from an official government website The Stockman bill allows taxpayers to use same lame excuses as IRS! Stockman's bill will be known as the Dog Ate My Tax Receipts Act And taxpayers who do not provide documents requested by the IRS can claim one of the following reasons. One, Dog ate my tax receipts. 2, convenient unexplained miscellaneous computer malfunction 3 I traded my tax receipts for five terrorists 4 burned for warmth while lost in the Yukon 5 left on table in Hillary's book room 6 received water damage in the trunk of Ted Kennedy's car That's pretty low by the way 7 forgotten gun case sold to Mexican drug lords

2:03:32 8. Forced to recycle by municipal green czar 9. Was short on toilet paper while camping and 10 At this point, what difference does it make? I thought that was kind of cool And i'm as an American- David Letterman show all of a sudden Yeah! That's what- but this is Stockmann, I like it Who was he- What is his uh... He's from Texas Oh there you go That's why I like him Um Because of course they're claiming a computer glitch. And if anyone who has dealt with the IRS in any capacity, and believe me I can't remember the last time i got a check from them... But I have gone through the mill many times and In fact they came with guns in hand to my office because I... Yeah I gotta tell again because They couldn't find my tax returns even though I'd paid taxes in Europe

2:04:25 And it took me years and salary, what do you call it? Yeah. They grab your money. But they apparently can get away with murder and that pisses me off so anyway... A couple of things I want to take the other side on this okay now there's two things first of all them the question that everyone really has to ask because there's all these hearings and you have a bunch of clips too So we'll talk about this for a few minutes Where is the IT guy testifying? Well, I mean he hasn't been subpoenaed. Well, I think this is going to happen You've probably seen now that multiple tweets and blog posts regarding the actual company which is Let me see Sona Soft

2:05:16 who actually promoted the fact that they have been working for the IRS since 2005. In 2009 is when they started tweeting about it, that they provide the email archiving solution which is quote ideal for small medium business and government agencies so you would expect this outfit to get subpoenaed very soon? I would suspect they should have been by now The other thing is anyone whose...the real joke of this is the hard drive failures I work with drive savers over in the Marin County a couple of times in my life. And there's, I think three companies that do this they have literally taken drives from burning buildings and they can still retrieve it

2:06:00 They put them in a clean room, they take the platters out and then they reconstruct the drive. This has been done for years. It's very rare that there is a crashed drive they can't fix so that's nonsense. the press, because that really comes down to the media accepted the whole concept of a glitch with healthcare.gov and no one really did anything about that bullcrap And so now they are very... it's very easy to say what? You've never had a computer crash? you've never heard of a glitch before? So this is actually I blame the technology reporting press and media for this Okay

2:06:48 You had a clip? Yeah, I thought you had more. Well here's the other thing so they got this new guy that's the new commissioner this guy who has been around the block he's done a lot he is a hitman he used to be... He is a corporate turnaround guy and one of those axe guys that comes in and this guy named John Koskinen. He looks like a lizard He doesn't blink. He doesn't sweat, he doesn't move his head... He doesn't grimace! He doesn't smile! He stares and watches and listens and counter this guy's the greatest guy ever! He's pretty cool as a cucumber. Unflappable! Yeah, he's a cool cucumber. He just sits there and listens to these guys throw it at him while the Democrats of course are defending him

2:07:35 But listening to, I got a couple of clips that we had to play. Call him Mr Cool. Ah okay! So Mr Cool here's the initial exchange and Mr Cool who is his new nickname... Slaps just doesn't care. And you know who in Treasury told the White House? Yeah this is a great clip. I have no idea. I have no communications with the White House Well your're head of IRS You don't know something this important Contacts between your agency and the executive branch Your unaware of them part of the executive branch, we have regular communications with Treasury. We issue regulations, we review them, were in the process of reviewing for instance the regulations on the 501C issue. We have regular communication particularly between our council's office and the Treasury Council. It's IRS new in February or maybe even March and Treasury and White House new at least in April

2:08:25 But Congress and the American people didn't find out until June. Were you purposely not telling us? No, as I... Were you purposely not revealing this to the American people? As I told you my proposal wasn't in fact our original thought was to complete the Lois Lerner email production, complete the review of what other custodians had a problem and produce a report to you laying it all out So why did you tell- Why did the IRS inform the executive branch agencies The White House, the administration but kept it secret from the Congress who was conducting an investigation We were not keeping it a secret. It was our public report to you that is in fact provided you this information There's been no attempt to keep it a secret My position has been that when we provide information, we should provide it completely if we provide you incomplete Information people sometimes are tempted to leap to the wrong

2:09:12 conclusion not based on any facts so we thought it would be important to give you the full description. It's okay for them to leap to a conclusion, pardon? It's okay for the White House and Treasury to leap to conclusions six weeks before Congress but my question also is Yeah, it was pretty good. He also would say pardon when he wanted the guy to repeat which is kind of like a snide question. He would do it commonly. What did you just say? So here's where he's called a liar by Paul Ryan which everyone has heard about this clip but no one has ever heard him. Monday our investigators asked your agency Whether any other hard drives crash and we learned that six other hard drives of the people were investigating were involved You didn't tell us that this must be some really shitty hard drives man who makes those things We told you on Monday on Monday And what did you do with it because we asked you right? and what did you do with that information you told us on Monday because we asked you whether any other hard drives crashed or

2:10:08 This is unbelievable. You told us on May that you were going to give us all of Lois Lerner's emails and you learned in February that this crashed? I did not learn in February it was a crash, and we told you on Monday... I'm not asking you a question! I am just making a statement. My apologies. You are the Internal Revenue Service. You can reach into lives of hard-working taxpayers And screw them up their anal cavity And with a phone call an email or letter you can turn their lives upside down Let's go get that curry guy You asked taxpayers to hang on to seven years of their personal tax information in case they're ever audited and you can't keep six months worth of employee emails? And now that we are seeing this investigation, you don't have the emails. Hard drives crashed. You learned about this months ago, you just told us and we had to ask you on Monday This is not being forthcoming! This is being misleading again

2:11:11 This is a pattern of abuse, a pattern of behavior that is not giving us any confidence that this agency is being impartial. I don't believe you! This is incredible I have a long career. That's the first time anybody has said that you not believe me, I'm actually... I don't believe you! It's fine we can have a disagreement and i'm willing to stand on our record are willing to remind you that it was not buried in 27 pages most of that twenty seven pages is exhibits when asked about the custodians which advised you what being forthcoming which we knew for one day being forthcoming is just say I'm sorry know what investigators Congress whose investigating this? Will let him answer the question. I didn't ask him a question yeah

2:12:00 I feel this one. All the other stuff, whatever... This one makes me angry! It really does. The arrogance and hubris of this guy. This guy's outrageously talented at doing what he does And i'll say that I have had to work with IRS agents and inspectors Well, you know once you get the... You're accused and you shit us in. And then you have to prove that it's not so. I found them to be reasonable You know, but I've had a lot of issues not just with the American Internal Revenue Service but certainly with the Dutch Internal Revenue Service. Not so much... But iIve had my brushes with the UK. Look! I'm not an interesting guy you know it's exactly me who they go and pick on. They're not picking on other people and it's always a smaller guy

2:13:03 Knock on wood, it's been many years since I've had a problem. But when you hear this it's like yeah! I want these...I want heads to roll. I really do and I feel that- You know how many heads are gonna roll? Zero Exactly But let me play my clip now before you go to your...I think you have a wind up of Mr Cool? I have another Mr Cool clip Let me slip in this So this is how the...now we pop up one layer Up to the daily briefing done by Josh Earnest Bubba The Love Sponge And his... So first, he's the guy that in the press gaggle as they call it on Air Force One said what you've never heard of drives crashing? Duh! It happens. You know it happens I should mention this. I didn't have tha-I don't have the clip I don't think When Mr. Cool out of the blue says there is an awful lot of drives crashing and Mr. Cool says after warranty is up on a hard disk The drive crash rate is almost 20%

2:14:02 Which is bullcrap. Does he drive a Range Rover too, by any chance? I have no idea. Really? We have to get that clip, that's hilarious! Oh it's easy its findable. You probably just had to listen through the whole hearing but yeah he came with this 20% 10-20% of the drives fail after they're out of warranty. That's nonsense by the way its mean time between failure and what they use. That's the real metric yes. Yeah anyway go on. So here is Mr Cool, here is Bubba The Love Sponge Our new spokeshole for the White House, and he's just going to say this is just conspiracy theories.

2:14:49 the chief of staff or other aides. So basically, the reporter's saying hey wait a minute you know there's another end there's another side to the email when an email is sent it's sent to someone yeah hey has anyone at The White House perhaps looked for The Lowest Lerner emails maybe you guys have it on your end? Are you asking about emails that would've been exchanged from... From The White House to Lerners Chief Of Staff Or her other aides Well, I guess that wasn't aware that was a specific request from Republicans. Have they asked for them? I don't know if you're floating another conspiracy or if this is an a request from Republicans who are floating a conspiracy or what exactly the suggestion is but the fact of the matter is we've cooperated extensively and despite that cooperation

2:15:40 We've seen continued allegations of Republican conspiracy theories that just never pan out. How can you say there's been extensive cooperation if two years of emails are just missing? You don't seem to be taking that point seriously, because if the emails are there, you could show hey, there is no conspiracy! That's a question I understand you want to keep saying it's about Republicans but why are two years of e-mails missing? Because there was a the computer crashed and what we've seen is a demonstrated effort by this administration By the IRS to try to cooperate with legitimate questions that have been posed by the committee on this What's just as important for people? To understand is that despite all of the data that has been provided to Congress. There's not a shred of evidence that substantiates Republican conspiracy theories now, this isn't insult to people like me who actually come up with conspiracy theories

2:16:37 I'm very insulted. First by lumping me in with the now conspiracy theory is by definition Republican, it's very insulting. There has never been a Democrat ever with the conspiracy idea. And this conspiracy theory is just the worst term and a conspiracy is like You know as a number of people gathering, you know to blow up Parliament or something I mean it's like the whole idea that I've had somebody say oh It's just a conspire your Joe conspiracy theory. They say well let's see they you have a situation Let's say you have a guy who is an administrator and he shreds all his documents And when they come in to investigate together guys got nothing and then you say you know what? The guy shredded all his documents That's what happened

2:17:20 Oh, conspiracy theory. What conspiracy was involved? Some guy shreds documents! It's not a conspiracy when one guy does something. Well I send all my emails away and you know it's not there's no conspiracy involved but everything has to be a conspiracy theory You know it's just like I just don't like it and there's nothing you can do about this gets caught is become a national meme well unfortunately you know, this is what the public is trained to do. And it wasn't helped by Jesse Ventura and his show Conspiracy Theory. No no but this is what the public is trained to do now- laugh about it! Listen to every single OBOT you know. The punchline is now... even our chat room just ask the NSA they've got copies

2:18:09 That's so disheartening and so sickening that it has come to that, that these blatant violations of all kinds of laws and citizen rights and constitutional rights —and perhaps even if you believe in them human rights— are now decimated down to a punchline. pretty much you could hear on Doug Dynasty. It's demeaning, it really is. Nobody wants to talk about the issues of that which is again... People are afraid they're afraid they're afraid to be called out and say hey look this guy that you voted for and the people that are working with him are just as big assholes everybody who has ever been in there and they don't care about you! They just don't care never have never will

2:18:59 It's frightening for people. This is the problem, Mickey explained this to me very well When I said to someone somewhere sometime...I questioned the moon landing theory The initial moon landing, I questioned the story That's my stance. I question it! I got lots of questions about it. I'm not all in What happens is that I blow up a bubble of millions of young boys who have now come of age, who dreamed of becoming an astronaut. Who dreamed of being Neil Armstrong and when I say this, I pop such a huge bubble that people don't know how to handle it! I'm a bubble popper! Bubble Popper...

2:19:40 Well, something to be popping. I'm trying. So I'm watching this Mr. Roboto, the Mr Cool and so C-SPAN plays a promotion for what's going to be on later today and i would recommend people watch it share at the attic all this is the uh... the woman who left cbs she's a good-looking cbs correspondent who quit cds because they wouldn't cover benghazi rights so i get it and the sense that she knew something about what we've always discussed of but then guys which was as it was a scam And so she just quit CBS. And so they have a teaser and you have to play the teaser because it kind of wraps up the IRS conversation and a lot of other stuff I'm going to definitely record this thing tonight. Well, an F on transparency and freedom is that the one Cheryl Atkinson? That's the yes. It doesn't say teaser. That's why OK.

2:20:32 Well, an F on transparency and freedom of information. And I think my colleagues in journalism would give a similar grade whether they're liberal or conservative. The freedom of information process has become a joke it was already well on its way prior to the Obama administration but This administration has perfected the stall, the delay, the redactions, the excuses. And really it's shocking because I feel very strongly that the information they withhold and protect many times belongs to the public we own it but there is no sense of that when you ask for it They covet as if they are a private corporation defending their trade secrets rather than understanding what

2:21:11 is information they've gathered on our behalf. What difference at this point does it make? Benghazi, benghazi, benghazi! Well she says it perfectly right! It's too bad- I think she nails it! It's too bad that she works for the Heritage Foundation now. I think that is very disappointing that she essentially has gone to work for the Republican Party because I think that discredits everything she now is about to do. That completely has nothing to do with independence. Sorry Cheryl, I like you a lot but... You know, where will you be with it? Yeah. Whatever I just that's she should have done a podcast and if she had taken a vow of poverty It would have been more into her yes podcast there you go That's the way to go We need more podcasts What can I do? Amid amid all this actually was quite interesting at least Jordan has been doing the rounds Elise Jordan is the widow of Michael Hastings Oh good

2:22:10 And she is now promoting his book posthumously. And this book is, I think it's called The Last Edition or something like this? It is a... and she's on everything Al Jazeera CNN MSNBC everywhere! She's promoting this book and apparently the story she's saying telling Is that a colleague called her up and said hey you know on Michael's hard drive which didn't crash We had, there's this book he was writing and you should have a read. And she reads it she read it in one go and she now got it published and she is the editor of the book She edited it and its now published As she says and everyone else agrees thinly veiled about the last days of Newsweek where Michael Hastings worked

2:23:04 What's interesting is the coincidence of timing of this book, which is entirely about the days of... well it was really about the Iraq war and how all the liberals are trying to cover up their tracks that they actually voted for this and said It's a good thing. Let's go in add to that the coincidence of The Bo Bergdahl interview that Hastings did which really is getting no traction for some reason I'm not quite sure what's going on there, but he had interviewed Bergdahl and his family had written a huge piece for Rolling Stone about this years ago before anybody even heard really of the Bergdahl story. That is rarely brought to the foreground and I'll remind everyone that the way they...and she dropped dead gorgeous, this Elise Jordan, and they met in Iraq

2:24:01 or Afghanistan, one of the two. After Michael Hastings' girlfriend was killed in an unfortunate ambush attack and we have seen interviews with them before and my immediate impression was wow she's his handler no doubt about it right that was your first impression yes And so now this is a year later uh and she's out promoting this book which okay you know I can see where she's just like I can only imagine myself, you know if i lost my spouse how it would feel? Would I be ready to go promoting a book Only a year later. I mean you can ask all kinds of questions, which i'm not qualified to answer But here she is um, I think this is maybe this was on al jazeera It's kind of a compilation of what she said on a number of interviews it's all the same Um, i'd love to ask about you two as a couple because I was fascinated by the two of you I mean he worked in the bush administration we talked about you being speechwriter for uh connelly zarais Yeah, and didn't have to point this out as well

2:25:01 I didn't actually realize that she was that close. She was the speechwriter for the Secretary of State." She's not just a fly by night. Yeah, she is not a slouch In fact that is the exact word which you will hear used in a moment And then his life in Afghanistan I mean how did you two even get together? We actually met soon after he came back from Iraq I had been in Iraq at the US Embassy His girlfriend had been tragically killed in an ambush Tragically... Just the words are weird John Some of the words she's using Is there an untragical killing Just, mmm. We met I introduced family friends my best friend from college's parents and then we stayed in touch and then we started dating about three years later when both were in Afghanistan so it you know was a I was so lucky this past year has been horrible but I wouldn't... It was worth it just because being with him for even short time yeah absolutely everything I've read about from you about him has been just beautiful and loyal and extraordinary. Loyal

2:26:02 Lots of weird words in here because of the controversy. Thank you Yes, you've been loyal everything you said has been loyal For even a short time was yeah absolutely everything I've read about from you about him has been just beautiful and extraordinary Because of the controversy though around particularly them a crystal article in Rolling Stone That surrounded him there have been all sorts of conspiratorial theories Here we go! Conspirator- It's even better though if you say conspiratorial theories. I think i shall use this Don't call me a conspiracy theorist, call me a conspiratorial theorists please by its proper name

2:26:41 Okay, so let's get into that. Now this is something I did not know had not heard about find very interesting. Curatorial theories about what happened to him and do you care to address those? Is that something that you investigated as well? Yeah, I hired an independent private investigator and really just went over everything about the accident Just because...I mean..I wanted to know To try to have some sense of closure for myself And it really was just a tragic accident Wow So she hired a private investigator to get some closure and it really was just, it really was just a tragic accident.

2:27:20 I mean, I wanted to know...to try to have some sense of closure for myself. And it really was just a tragic accident and I think that he was such a larger than life character and he did such important work that sometimes we would like to make things have more meaning then they do when-and explain the unexplainable and unfortunately it just was a tragic accident Well all this interview about Michael We should say you're no slouch yourself so what is next for you? I'm kind of, I am enjoying getting to talk about about how wonderful Michael is and the work and getting to focus on the work and how this I mean it's been amazing for me just you know, the Bo Bergdahl story that he wrote their original Bergdahl right before well ahead of FedEx almost exactly yeah, morning has stood up so well in this magazine. This book right now the last magazine at this time pivotal time we're discussing going back into Iraq and what he is talking about is in his book about the drumbeat war

2:28:17 and all of the liberal hawks who suddenly wanted to erase from the stage that they had ever supported the war. That's what happening right now, so it is amazing what his legacy... And I look forward to seeing his legacy develop even in years to come." Wow! You know the only thing I missed there was her saying So coincidental that a former insider of the Republican Party has this book coming out from the dead husband from a tragic accident. That is coincidentally all about, you know these A-holes trying to reverse their policies and hmm I don't like it. The first thing I thought of too when i'm listening to her and remembering what

2:29:07 we initially surmised, which is she was a handler. I mean she's in Afghanistan and works in the embassy, Iraq, speech writers... She got all the earmarks of somebody who's... Spook! Was there something that in the original manuscript that they had to remove? And there's yes And there's also, you know... So we can read that book and we're not gonna get anything. No, we're not going to get anything. It's like a link between somebody and somebody else? But I wish... so she should put to bed the conspiratorial thinking perhaps it would be easier if she said it was just a tragic accident here is what happened What actually happened? I'd like to know what happened Why did he hit the tree by himself going 90 miles per hour

2:30:59 by request from the family. All right, so I got the things I promised last show and want to plan before we go take our little break all right this is the climate another climate change these things are going on every week another climate change thing this time with White House a guy for their idiot from Rhode Island The senator from Rhode Island who was just all in any you die he's not gonna listen to anybody Say anything about anything? So there's a three-parter here I've got climate change with the, we get to introduce Botkin who's this professor emeritus at the University of California Santa Barbara who is part of the 97%. He questions- Or 98 or 99 if you believe John Kerry. Well he sticks with the old school which is 97% and let's just play these clips in order then you can see what a douchebag Senator Whitehouse actually is by Climate Change 1 please. Thank you very much so Dr. Botkin you'd be one of the 97%,

2:31:55 that's talked about and certainly you know, you feel like man is contributing and this and that but certainly are not one that feels like the models are acceptable. And I suspect that you have many of your cohorts there in the same camp Well, I think the key thing here is that science is not a rule by majority method. That's the important thing it's discovery and I'd like to quote Jonas Sothe inventor of the polio vaccine He said I get into dialogue a dialogue with nature and put the question to nature Not to my colleagues because that's from whence the answer must come And that's what I do always look at the data and also Richard Feynman

2:32:41 One of the great 20th century quantum physicists said science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. So to keep saying it's a majority, That's not a scientific statement and it is not correct. I've spent 50 years working on climate change in a very constructive way, and what I can tell you is that since about 1990 the data has started to move in the other direction away from an important effect by human beings. And that's just what the facts show." I'd like to just reiterate, because i don't know if it was clear John from your intro this is Dr Daniel Botkin and he has reversed his stance

2:33:28 on climate change and he has now said, this is the part of the hearings. I'm a skeptic. I think the IPCC report has errors and this is why he's important because he is saying no, I don't think that this is man-made global warming correct? Yes! He's about the man-made part. Yeah, the man made part exactly now So he did is his clip to there he gets a little cut little some input from one of the other sides It's unacceptable that scientists like dr. Botkin and others are being adversely treated as a result of their statements and scientific research That sometimes contradicts the powers that be so thank you

2:34:14 Shut up already! Science. Be quiet, man So that every Republican on every one of these brings this issue up every time they have one of these hearings and so here's the way it ends when White House decides to close the whole thing and this is how he would...this is the...to me what you just heard was just nothing compared to how this asshole White House finishes the discussion. This was not a hearing on the science, it was a hearing with the experience of previous administrators if we were to do a hearing on the science then I think we'd be adding the scientists from NOAA

2:34:55 and the scientists from NASA, and the scientists who back our United States defense establishment. And a great establishment of scientists every major scientific organization in the country perhaps Dr. Botkin is right they are all wrong but I'm not sure that would be the prudent course for our country thank you all very much we are adjourned The science is in! Science. Science. So, not the word Botkin? Fuck off. Here we go. Yeah yeah yes screw you. I suppose it's possible that Botkin is right and all these other people are all wrong Exactly. Don't be a denier The science is in

2:35:39 Science! Science. Science! Science. The White House guy is such a dick and Marky's the other one, they're both- this is the Senate of course which is run by the Democrats so they get to head these committees right and so you have these- How dare you question NASA? They've been to the moon and landed there you know that's part of the problem If NASA's wrong, baby, phew! Look out. I'll be hosting to it." There you go. Yeah that's pretty sad but of course that never makes any headlines any kind of news anywhere ever because the only people and it's happening in plain sight the only people who even come close to vaguely reporting on it as we can by playing you clips from the actual people saying the actual words is us

2:36:36 I don't know of any other place where you can get this, other than spending the time yourself. you know, watching it. Which of course is ludicrous and why would the media bother covering it? They have their agendas and that's what they go by their little script and that's the end of it whatever the PR person tells them to do they do it! They're parrots That's right It's true Yeah yeah it's exactly what it is I think it's easier You're getting paid...you know there's no real you know this you don't get any you know especially reporters they don't get big bonuses or anything for doing anything Yeah, I want to go home. No one ever made it rich by telling the truth John What a mistake that is!

2:37:33 I have a few people to thank for show 628. Came in with all kinds of varying amounts of money and we always thank the ones that donate $50 or more, Nicholas McFall in Herndon Virginia, we need some more of that Virginia money at $125. Let's see what he said here. Well, he got some useful information from the show. One is using hey in the subject line to get someone's attention to an email and of course after hearing the advisors being sent to Iraq He felt that it got some value and seriously these at this point you know on Friday

2:38:18 Which I always say Friday's my day off and you know, but of course I wind up watching stuff and doing more than ever. And Mickey did a good thing She said no You first you're going to the spin class Yes Yeah, and then there yeah, and then we're going out on the boat and dr Ryan who was whose her backcracker and his beautiful wife, and their eight week old son. And he has a boat, a wake wave riding boat. So we're on the lake all day. I had tremendous experience which included the kid having explosive diarrhea all over me. You ever have that? Nice! Beautiful women on the boat- Much better than C-SPAN Yeah no, the beautiful women on the boat like hey you hold the baby oh doesn't it look cute holding the baby Oh the baby looks so good on you

2:39:09 It's like me, Ryan and the kid were all in the water washing poop all over. Anyway... But it was so nice to not have to, you know. It was off there was no interruption and I advise anybody twice a week listen to our show get what you need You can hold the conversation easily you will stand miles above anybody else who's bickering about stupid crap And you can just you don't have to say anything Just sit there smile because you know you are healthy you were not affected by- We don't care about the Kardashians Well, there's that Kristen Drenzeck in Palmer, Alaska. Arkansas? No! Alaska. AK. Yeah, Palmer, Alaska. $111.11. Outstanding show she says. This donation's not nearly enough. Also belated Happy Father's Day... First Father's Day to her husband Tim. So... Tim.

2:40:05 Sir Keith Edwards in Gilbert, Arizona 10533. And that is one of our donations we had the special event for donations of the temperature Yes this was new I like that a lot Yeah and he got the high number about 105 which because he's in Phoenix But you know this is not... so I see what you're trying to do but I think you're on the wrong track here Okay Because with global cooling it's only going to drive the numbers down It's gonna go broke The more correct we are, the less money we get. This is not a good idea John. There's that! Mike Madaloni, it's $100 from Chicago Illinois keep doing what you're doing James Wells Flagstaff Arizona 100 Harshad Patel in Bilston West Midlands UK 100 these are all hundreds Jay Kumar good old Jay Kumar and Beverly Massachusetts nuts

2:40:59 24. I'm sorry, not 24... I gotta take you back John, i'm sorry, i'm just reading this note from Mike Yeah? Did you see what happened here? No, tell me. She says I need a job karma from my wife when she gets a new one and I'm hoping Swazilna follows A few weeks back you called Dame Jennifer from Charleston a swinger Oh right yeah i wanted to read this She's not! Swinger...I don't remember us calling anybody a swinger Probably me She says I ran into her and her husband in Chicago the week after your accusation And we got a good laugh though Her husband was confused He doesn't listen to the show. Well, you better send them an apology given a deep douching or something. Yeah You've been de-douche I'm sure it was me It sounds like something I would have said no, I wouldn't come I can't see saying that about somebody just offhandedly That's only me. Yeah, we're sorry where he's sorry Oh

2:42:01 Josh Mandel in Greenville, South Carolina 9380 Jason Daniels in Dallas Texas 86 which is the temperature? That's right hold on. 86? I rain sticked Dallas You better it sounded like you're frying an egg though on the sidewalk Brian Hopkins in Honolulu, Hawaii. 82 by the way which is the temperature in Hawaii all the time Is that true? Yes It's 82...82-82 it's like 82 That will be known as The Hawaiian Donation Yeah, the Hawaiian donation is 82. Armando Guerra I think... This is our local postal carrier Oh that's Armando And so he...I don't think we've discussed this on the show yet We're moving Yes We found another place which is cheaper

2:42:56 Thank God and it's only five minutes further south And so Armando rings the bell because we got a sign in the yard cuz you know obviously, you know We're only renting. So that you know, we got people walking to the house You know, I was like because you know the we're trying to help our landlady sell the place She wants it out of her life. I understand. So we really trying to work with everybody But yeah 10 o'clock this morning an hour before I start there's people with their architects, you know Oh yes, well trash this who just flattened all this will do whatever so Armando rings the bellies like oh You're moving. Yeah, man the only thing we're bummed is that you know you're our guy says where are you going? I said no it's like three minutes away so I can get that added to my route

2:43:36 So I'm really hoping that works. And congratulations on your nuptials! Armando got married, didn't even tell us. Oh he should have invited you. There's just celebrities there... I think there are reasons why he didn't want these guys. Who are these two blonde jerks? He doesn't want THESE guys. Do they even know how to hold a taco?! Let me write that down perfect. What was that 246 okay Not that because Armando sounds Latino, that he eats tacos. No you said it! You're gonna have the entire La Raza after you Armand

2:44:16 Anyway, he donated 78 for the 78 degrees. It was in Austin because it's so cool bill 72 is 72 apparently in Harrison Oregon That's right And then we have 6969 which I'm sure is not the temperature and Warrenville Illinois from Gregory Lawrence Did you get? 78 in butte oh that was that was Armando sorry okay, yeah Daniel Kepler in Phoenix, Arizona. 63-36 which is not the temperature. Sir Skits double nickels on the dime also in Phoenix coincidentally Kevin Hine in Auckland 5510, Stephen Schnelker in New Haven Indiana. Double nickels on the dime. Brandon and these are all $50 donors. Brandon Mank in Tempe Arizona Jason Daniel's in Dallas Texas T Abel in Burgfield Berkshire Daniel DeGroff in Westminister Colorado he's a big fan of mine apparently which is good that's easy to understand

2:45:18 We have here in Westminster, Colorado. No Eric Viette in Dublin California which is down the street from me Sir Alan Bean in Oakland California Bogdan Lachendro in Irvine Texas and that's it then we just have an anonymous donation and I do a letter I want to read by the way I stand corrected your temperature donation is genius only got a few but gonna be great this winter This winter. What a genius idea, John! You gotta get a lot of low ballers... So this comes in from I think it's okay to use his name It says Josh Mandel in Greenville South Carolina one of the listed there but here is note

2:45:59 First off, the analysis of ISIS Iraq going on you guys have provided on the past few shows has been top-notch between the Kagan web of control and profit that encompasses the whole thing in the utmost humorous geopolitical ramifications. It becomes unbearable to hear any more news readers talk about how it's all about religion excellent work and after your tirade against Lindsey Graham unfortunately my US senator from South Carolina I thought you'd get a kick out of this little anecdote My wife and I attended a local Scottish Festival Highland Games event here in Furman University, in Greenville South Carolina few weeks back. Being just before the South Carolina primary Graham was invited to give a brief monologue during the opening ceremony about how long tradition of militarism read killing people and how important it is to continue the fight. Read Votamin again

2:46:49 Afterward, I guess he was roaming around kissing babies but without my realizing it. My wife and I found ourselves standing right behind him as he was signing an autograph having my phone in hand in my trusty pocket no agenda app. I thought it would be funny to hold it too much my ear like I was on the phone and hit the douchebag jingle. Douche bag! As if I'd called him by a childhood nickname, he spun around looking for the source and caught both of us by surprise. I guess when you're a douchebag, you answer to the call."

2:47:26 Oh, by the way if you have time I personally like to call it Senator Graham is a douchebag on this show. Douchebag! Don't mind doing Well, I also have one quick note I'd like to read from a monthly donor or would like to pick them up from time to time This is from Tim in Berks UK In the morning to you Adam and JC I'm a regular $50 donor but don't normally send a note Not sure my donation will arrive But hope you don't mind this out of sync note If you'd be so kind, like a deducing as I've never asked for it and some jobs karma as I'm contracting as a programmer these days and have had a bit of a rough ride this year. Keep up the good work! I owe $50 a month is sufficient value for value." Well that's up to you obviously and-and for us it's fantastic. I would hope that you're getting enough value. "...I don't have time listen every episode probably one in four if you have away from me to send GBP...that'd be good!"

2:48:12 So yes, and do you still have that on the site John? Does that work that international transfer thing. I'm working with it now yeah, I think it works but its a problem because you gotta wait for their email to come in then you got to fill out the same information again. Okay. Oh well I'm still working with it. Well and for everyone else who has delivered value to us under the $50 level... And also I notice there's still a lot of four dollar a month people Quite a number. No, those are actually $4 a week Oh four a week? Wow! That's the dollar a show or dollar an hour. Fantastic! We appreciate every single donation that comes in and we do read all your notes this is just proof of it And we try to fish one out from time-to-time as possible Here's your general karma or jobs karma everyone can use some anytime I'm sure Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs Let's vote for jobs! You've got karma

2:49:06 That is amazing! Okay, I got one here for Helen Barber who celebrates on Monday the 23rd and I got a note from Craig Deacon who said hey Adam on the last show you said no birthdays came in. I turned 27 on the 19th. I thought it would have been lame to submit my own birthday so well we're happy to do it for you then. Craig from Newcastle upon Tyne happy birthday from all your buddies here at The Best Podcast In The Universe! And we do not have any title changes or any knighthoods. I did find this interesting survey, which i thought would kind of fit in... Of online advertising particularly on video 56% of viewers skip online video ads Almost half the people say any ad over 15 seconds is too long! This advertising thing isn't going to work out too well in the future

2:50:12 Well, once they... They gotta do some work. They got to study this these advertising agencies there just they're taking clients money and throwing it away The client, somebody's gotta crack down on this. I think it's these big agencies they try to gouge the client whether these giant agencies or all the different advertising agencies that have similar clients that compete with each other are all part of a big umbrella corporation which I think is a conflict of interest but okay and so then they take their money as much as they can, they take a piece of it, the 15% commission whatever it is, the place ads everywhere and these ads are useless.

2:50:49 You know, if these guys... I don't know. Pretty much yeah pretty much. This online advertising is just a joke! I love it when someone people are tweeting all the time like, I just tried to book a hotel The hotel was full so i couldn't book but now every web page I go to has an ad for the hotel that I could not get a booking in Yeah this is genius Big data strikes again and got an email from Sir Rod Adams over there at Atomicinsights.com You brought to us a story that the French are planning on doing away, capping off their nuclear program. And so we have experts in pretty much every field you can imagine." He responded John. Adam and John I heard your call out on episode 627 for insights into France's energy programs see how he does that? His website is Atomic Insights he's kind of like slipping it in his marketing.

2:51:45 Hollande and his socialist party ran on a platform that included scaling back France's dependence on nuclear energy. It was not a very popular part of his campaigning pitch, but Sarkozy was such a flawed candidate that Hollande won anyway. While Hollande is trying to follow through on his promise But there are plenty of well-connected and resourced people who oppose the idea. And he has a link, which I have in the show notes to an article that points out some of the considerations... Actually Atomic Rod wrote quite a blog post about this on Atomic Insights. He got a link to that as well. It is probably possible to trace some of these socialist party funding to Russian natural gas interests

2:52:23 Russia loves its own nukes, but spends quite a bit of time and money spreading propaganda or FUD about the nuclear programs in its customer and competitor nations. The unreliable industry...the unreliables industry is also well- That's interesting that's a good term! The unreliables industry is also well known for it's complaints that nuclear crowds them out of the market They're working hard to force middle-aged nuclear plants to shut down merely because they were initially licensed for 40 years. That period has nothing to do with the design life or the ability of well maintained, nuclear heated steam plants to last at least as long as coal oil or gas fired steam plants." And there you have it straight from the horse's mouth so to say. Yeah and then there's this... Play the Putin thing! PUTIN!!!

2:53:15 Yeah, it's sad how Kagans have kind of eked Putin out of it. Yeah well... There is another one too that came in I just haven't had the chance to use yet LIFE O! Life o Anyway, Tom McGrath has a pretty good blog post titled, Olan's Proposed Cap on Nuclear Electricity Capacity. And you can find that in the show notes 628.noagendanotes.com Here is an interesting little tidbit that came in off the local news about the kill switch in California. Ah yes!

2:53:51 Google is crediting kill switch technology for reducing cell phone thefts by as much as 40%. Tonight, two more companies have had a change of heart. Google and Microsoft have both agreed to add kill switches to their phones right now voluntary kill switches require users to opt in by downloading something or turning it on But a bill being proposed by California lawmakers could require kill switches come pre-installed. If you have to opt in, you may not know about it and you may not know how to do it It has to be opted out but if the bill passes it would fine retailers for selling phones without the kill switch This is time for all your practical jokers out there

2:54:37 Hey man, I lost my phone. What do you have any? Oh no it's gone! I don't have the serial number because it was stolen You gotta stop it quick! So what is your number sir? Yeah that how it'll go That's what I'd do. I mean, does anyone see the obvious thing that is in play here? That this is intended to be able to kill your phone whenever it's handy for other people not just to stop thieves and does anyone see... What's next a kill switch on my car?! Yeah absolutely! Are you nuts? Of course! Where's Curry? I don't know let's stop him and find out

2:55:15 This is the point where I recommend everyone go and read the Unabomber Manifesto once again. It's quite an interesting document that pretty much describes exactly where we are right now, for instance in this world where we are today if your kid went to school... John your kids are grown up like mine but let's say Buzzkill Jr., you know he's in fifth grade or something fourth grade and he takes a little water pistol to school And he's playing at recess around in the yard and he says, hey if any guys write anything bad about me on the bathroom wall I'm gonna kill you. You're gonna die! You get it? What do you think would happen to him in todays age? Oh they throw him into slammer This is Joe Biden The Vice President of United States At his annual retreat there where he invites the press to come have a picnic with them He's walking around the yard with a super soaker and says the following Next year we'll do this

2:56:14 God willing, with Crick not rising... Anybody who writes a bad story about me is dead. I just want you to know that! Get your strings! We're not gonna kid around about this right guys? And that's your example Well he should be thrown in the slammer I agree Of course he actually means it It's possible He's-He's not joking I will have to kill you if you write something bad about me because i am running against The... what do they call her now? The Hildebeest? The Vildebeast? No, the Hildebeast. The Hildebeast! Yeah this is this new book- Is that what you're calling Hillary? Yeah this new book- The Hildebeast?! There's a new book out I haven't read it Let me see It's uh This is the promotion for the new book obviously It's pretty good The Hildebeast Book Hold on I spelled it Hilda Beets That's no good Hildebeast

2:57:16 What is the name of this book, John? I don't know. I don't know anything about Hildebeest Okay it's a book about the Clintons and the Obamas... Why can't i find this? Oh! I guess I'll have to go do it Yeah, I'm really sorry. I'm not finding this now This was all over the news today Ugh okay so it's a book that certainly and I don't know who its meant to discredit or what it supposed to do The Hildebeest Returns Esquire It's a book. The Hildeby's walks at night according to the book HRC. Here it is, new book The Blood Feud that's what it's called blood feud Okay blood feud new book on bitter feud between Obamas and Clintons Clintons I hate that man Obama more than any man who ever lived says Bill This is great He said that really? Oh yeah in this book Who wrote this book veteran German man who ever lived this is written by Edward Klein

2:58:19 Veteran journalist Edward Klein. Let's look him up and in this apparently the Michelle Obama and Valerie Jarrett sit around at the end of the day drinking Chardonnay in the corner I believe that laughing about Hillary Hilda Beast as they called her Very believable sure it is The Hilda, it's so sad that you know What's the name of the show? The Spacey Show. The House of Cards Yeah, it's real! It's pretty real! That's exactly what it is

2:59:00 Yeah, on most evenings Michelle Obama and a trusted advisor Valerie Jarrett met in the quiet corner of the White House residence. They'd usually open up a bottle of Chardonnay catch-up our news about Sasha and Malia and gossip about people who gave them heartburn their favorite bete noire was Hillary Clinton whom they nicknamed Hill da Beast Here's his bio. He's got a blog, of course it's edwardklein.blogspot.com so he's not right up to speed but Edward Klein was born in Pittsburgh in 1946 after graduating from high school In which he learned nothing of value Oh hold on a second...Pittsburgh! So he's the Joe Biden guy

2:59:39 It could be. And a stint in the Air Force, he pursued his ambition to become a novelist. He's a novelist. His first detective novel is Detective Novelist. There you go. His first novel, his first prize was published in 1988 so he's a late bloomer. Uh...his first suspense novel 1992 Yeah, first published... he's a novelist. He is a writer and American. And he has got blog posts as well. His latest blog post is Journalism's Jihad Against Journalists. Journalisms' jihad against journalists! Okay? And it goes on about this so I don't know that he uh.. he's not an insider

3:00:18 Hey, Woodward and Braglio is just not a storm in the teacup between a White House underling and a liberal journalist. The dust up he goes on about politicians I don't know. Anyway...I don't have a handle on him it's just uh.. I don't think is something I want to read It's just a bunch of... I'm sure its discredit the Clintons and you know it's good for Biden. He's a Pittsburgh guy It has Joe Biden written all over it. You know he's walking around, ah screw that Hilda beast! Well I would guess... That sounds like him! His last blog post was in March of 2013 Yeah way to go. I would guess that this is one of those books that was handed to you

3:00:58 Why would he, why would this guy... Oh no. Why? Why would you have this inside info now I agree of course not. Yeah. Why would he have anything and who is uniquely qualified to have that kind of information Biden's Biden. He's walking around and like he's lurking in the corner or those bitches are here talking about Hilda beast right those end they won't even offer me any chardonnay those bitches So, as we get closer to the FAA trying to figure out if it's safe to have drones flying over the United States of Gitmo Nation. A year-long investigation by The Washington Post exposes the dangers of opening American skies to drone traffic. The fact that hundreds of large military drones have malfunctioned and crashed into homes farms runways highways around the world since 2001 rather It raises some serious concerns about their use here in the US and that use is expected to surge National reporter Craig Whitlock writes all about

3:01:54 about this in his piece, When Drones Fall from the Sky. Because this is really great. Every single thing we've talked about drones and we've been on this way before anyone talked about it, We were talking about the dangers how you really want to pilot in aircraft This is not a good idea If it's an expendable thing over some sandy place with some brown people, whatever But like over the civilized areas like America You don't want this And here's why Is it technological? Or is it just not working There's three main reasons why the drones we looked at crash around the world. One is the satellite links, the GPS links that pilots use on the ground to fly these things by wireless radio signal go down quite a bit

3:02:45 Most of the time, the drone's flying just fine. But sometimes they lose a signal and they go where they're not supposed to. Oh well! Another reason are mechanical problems—just basic mechanical problems, electrical problems in midair. And the third big category is pilot error. We found cases of pilots flying drones upside down, pilots pressing the wrong buttons and the drones crashing, pilots not seeing where they were going—just basic aviation mistakes. And now I'm starting to get a little... because the number is 400 apparently, which is really in aviation terms. So what? It's now 14 years old so what does that mean like 30 a year for new category more

3:03:25 And only half of that has been crashing in the States, so maybe one a month. But of course these are big drones right? These are Shadows and you know the Big Boys... Yeah! The big ones predators but now this does give a little more credence to my theory about some of these mysterious gas explosions. And we have these all over the country and people really just don't question it anymore Oh, the house was blown to smithereens Which is in which even mythbusters could not recreate this is a born identity type theory that you can leave the gas on I guess you leave the oven on and somehow the house is so perfectly hermetically sealed and then the toaster goes off

3:04:10 And that creates a spark and then the whole place is blown to kingdom come. Here is a piece of this, so this happened in California just this week another house blown to bits Here is the direct—I got the live feed from the helicopter pilot who's flying, you know he's one of the first guys on the scene. So this is not actually on the news This is him talking while they're recording his footage and I did chop it down a bit but listen to his commentary. Dabu 7, you were looking at footage of a house explosion in Thornton Colorado Right now there is no word on exactly what caused the explosion

3:04:50 Some are saying it may have been a natural gas explosion. Other people are just not sure, they have no proof of anything right now except for the house is completely blown apart Now we've seen before in certain explosions where they have certain characteristics like the house will blow out and the roof will still be intact And then in different situations if the house is completely obliterated like this It could mean something else You can see debris Sent all the way across the street on top of other homes here as you can see here full sheets of plywood from this house blown Clear over to this other house behind it. What is going on people? I'm telling people are being either droned or

3:05:37 Or maybe armed drones are crashing. I don't know what's happening It could be how about this for a couple of ideas? Well, and of course it could be target practice because there's usually nobody home when it happens right but I'm thinking you got a good practice I'm thinking he's even more sinister which is the it's a mafia operation And as it's a version of Italian lightning Italian lighting issues your pro-your house has got a lot of mold problems. You've got issues with the neighborhood, you can't sell the damn place it's in a bad neighborhood, you get some good insurance ready to go BOOM! John I have never heard this phrase Italian lightning Yeah its an old phrase Um...I've never heard of this And is this a new version? What is the old version of Italian lighting

3:06:30 There's no old version. Arson is what it is. Just your house catch on fire? Arson! Seems to me you could get a hold of couple of these things and blow up for, ya know, a few pennies. Blow the guy's house to smithereens he collects the insurance they blame it on gas there's no way they're gonna... Ya know what else are going to do with this? What it is. Sounds like a good idea. Sounds like business. Under the vaccine heading for today, Doctors Without Borders are now saying Ebola is out of control. Yeah yeah This is the outbreak in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Lyon and Liberia? It's all over the place down there. There are 400 dead so far. So what can you tell us about this? You being obviously the chemical... I don't know anything about it All I know that it spreads so fast and hits you so hard that supposedly can get out of control because

3:07:24 You get it and you're dead in 24 hours. So you can't get on a plane and actually have the plane land, everyone will be dead by the time you get there. Oh interesting! It's supposed to be self-controlling International organizations... If there's a new version of Ebola that takes like, a couple of days to catch on then I think it could be a problem. Let's see international organizations and governments involved need to send in more health experts and increase public education messages about how to stop the spread of the disease said Bart Janssens sounds like a Dutch guy director of operations for The Medical Group in Brussels oh there you go

3:08:00 The reality is clear that the epidemic is now in a second wave and for me it's totally out of control end quote. Whatever, be afraid regardless people that's important! The Ebola virus which causes internal bleeding and organ failure spreads through direct contact with infected people there's no cure or vaccine so containing an outbreak focuses on supportive care for the ill and isolating them to limit the spread of the virus The current outbreak which began in Guinea either late last year or early this year had appeared to slow before picking up pace again in recent weeks, including spreading to the Liberian capital for the first time. Should we be afraid? The experimental Ebola vaccine is being tested for safety and over two dozen volunteers. Who volunteers for that? Well anyone in that area would! Oh that's true So there is a vaccine they're playing with I think this is

3:09:03 There may be a scheme here. Keep your eye on that. Stomatitis virus-based Ebola vaccine is well tolerated If you have officials saying it is out of control, I mean that's quite dangerous to use those words and I think it should get more airplay quite honestly Unless... Well if you want to scare the public we have to scare them about other things Well the Gardasil virus I'm very happy to announce We are familiar with the HPV. This was initially invented to prevent the human papillomavirus, HPV... Also mentioned by some people who I know as slut cancer! Which is a scam, it doesn't really stop

3:09:53 It doesn't necessarily stop cancer. A lot of this is genital warts, which go away by themselves... You can test for this with vinegar that you really need to read up on it. You certainly should think twice about spending $300 on these shots for your daughter and then we knew that you could get throat cancer from it! Oh yes! So we have to give it to boys now as well. And now, luckily approved by the FDA for the prevention of anal cancer! That's right! Everybody should take your Gardasil!" I had to lie when reading this... Who was that douchebag that was behind the whole thing? One of these politicians? Remember, we used to talk about him and then he got left out of the conversation. Ah well Rick Perry was one of them

3:10:47 Rick Perry was bought off, it was a big scandal here in Texas. He wanted to make these shots mandatory for every school child and it turned out he got pay-off of 5 million bucks somehow to his campaign and oh I'm sorry whoops didn't mean that! Now this Scar Dazzle is a humongous scam It certainly does not stop all versions of HPV which they admit readily But, you know the scam goes as follows. Oh yes! You have a... Looks like you're pre-cancerous we saw on your test well We should probably do a biopsy and well you didn't have cancer so you only precancerous but probably should take this fine Gardasil shot just in case for the future It's very disturbing and of course there've been many documented cases of adverse reactions to it

3:11:38 It's okay. Just all more stuff to scare you, like Senator Tom Carper This is the last one I've got for the scare meme... Senator Tom Carper did an hour and a half session with some douche baguettes from Homeland Security And some other consultants about dirty bombs Well not again Hold on a second-I meant DIRTY BOMBS THEY WILL KILL YOU And this is how you do it in your opening. This is his opening statement a little over a year ago the city of Boston as we'll recall was struck by tragedy during the running of the 117th Boston Marathon two terrorists detonated pressure cooker bombs near the finish line You would call they killed three people They injured nearly 300 more and by the way, this has not all actually been tried in court We don't actually hit this is not

3:12:36 Not the the final summary of this but okay, and this will be the lexicon that these were the two terrorists and pressure cooker bombs Okay, we'll believe you the horror. This attack which we've viewed again and again on the television. Yes, that's how it works you show it again and again and again And then you just tell people that we have video of them putting their backpacks into the trash can even though no one has seen the video But just tell them you saw it and they'll believe it eventually. Again on the first anniversary of the attack will never be forgotten. Today as we strive to improve our counterterrorism efforts, we have the opportunity to look back at the Boston Marathon bombing and ask ourselves this question... Okay what could the question be? The question would be since we have so much security and surveillance in this country by the NSA and others they're watching every move, the question would be how come we couldn't stop these guys in advance What if the attack had occurred differently

3:13:37 What if it was even more deadly? What if the pressure cooker bombs weren't just simply bombs but dirty bombs? What you know, if the Queen had balls she'd be king a dirty bomb is any kind of crude explosive device that when detonated Disperses radiation around and beyond the blast. If a dirty bomb successfully goes off. I Those who survive the blast can be exposed to harmful amounts of radiation that could cause sickness or even death. Moreover, a dirty bomb could render areas uninhabitable for not just days or weeks or months but for years making that particular weapon a highly disruptive weapon The Boston Marathon terrorists had turned their pressure cooker bombs into dirty bombs

3:14:31 then the consequences of that tragic day could have been multiplied by an order of magnitude. I want us just to think about that for a minute. Yeah, you know what? I'd rather think about is well What if the terrorists had turned their little pressure cooker bombs into actual hydrogen bombs and blew up the entire city of Boston Well That would have been terrible and it's just very easy to do You can get one of these hydrogen bombs from some other Terrorists and they were part of a network and they could have blown up bossing completely we have to take action now Do yeah, but you got out you didn't wind it upright You guys say, I want you to think about that. I want you to think about that. I wanted us just to think about that for a minute. And it takes this pause if all your thinking about it for a minute let me think about it. Think about the hydrogen bomb radiation. I'm gonna die and then if I'm actually trying to help I'm running towards the radiation! Today's hearing will focus on how we can ensure that this hypothetical situation does not come to pass

3:15:30 Bullshit! You fear-mongering a-hole, you. Who is that guy? That is... his name is Senator Tom Carper. Carper?! Yes of Delaware. C A R P E R? Yes, Carper Well he's a nobody Well he's trying to be somebody with this Well he doesn't sound like this guy Oh yeah, Mr. Excitement! But this is so wrong and everyone on the panel's like Yeah we need more security More police state We need scanners everywhere Here about this thing in Chicago now They have on the street lamps Let me see where I have this... Uh here it is Sensors? Yeah the gun sound The gunshot sensors No these are different

3:16:22 These, the smooth perforated sheaths of metal are decorative. But their job is to protect and conceal a system of data collection sensors that will measure air quality light intensity sound volume heat precipitation and wind The sensors will also count people by observing cell phone traffic It's a metadata sucking device That's funny He walked by, hey people opt out. You don't need a cell phone I've been living perfectly well without one to some annoyance from Mickey from time to time She's a little annoyed that it's not that easy to get over there back and call Yes that i'm not at her beck and call but in general we get by quite Well you really don't need this slave bracelet attached to you

3:17:21 Get yourself a D-Star radio. D-Star from Icon. No, it's not from Icon. Now you're really pushing it now You're really pushing it now all right besides that of course Google acquired Skybox in... Hello! They acquire Skynet. Hold on. Well he goes on his merry way I thought it was like... That was Mickey Mouse? Somebody's pissed. Was there somebody roaming around your house? I had no idea! It was one of those, you know like someone-I don't know that was weird. It kind of sounded like a... More for me then. Okay so they Skybox I think is what it's called isn't it

3:18:19 Sky net no, it's called sky box. I don't know what it is They acquired a company called sky box and with this how do they do? It will make Google Maps images live in many cases and yes, and visible down to 31 centimeters each pixel. So I can go right now and watch what's going on in downtown San Francisco on a certain street to see if there is a long line in front of a certain restaurant so that I can get some food? That is the idea they call it manhole-to-mailbox And this comes on the heels... You don't have that kind of coverage with these satellites Yes

3:19:01 The Department of Commerce, a week after this acquisition—I guess Google knew it was coming—lifted restrictions on the resolution. In the past collecting sub-50cm resolution required chartering and flying aircraft... Now, here's Digital Globe who also provides this service. We are very pleased and appreciative that the U.S Department of Commerce has made this forward-leaning change to our nation's policy that will fuel innovation create new high tech jobs and advance the nation's commanding lead in this strategically important industry." And that is the sub 50 centimeter resolution

3:19:39 And Digital Globe and Skybox will now be able to provide and or sell images that show features as small as 31 centimeters. So yes, they will be able to see if you... in theory, in theory, and Google... Here's the deal with I have a problem with it this Google Maps has been deteriorating on a weekly basis Well the traffic directions have been deteriorating That's different You don't like the navigation feature, but the... The navigation's off. But it shows me on wrong streets! That that's more than just a navigation. That's how they start this is what they're doing They're confusing the public John. They're trying to- It's like an ant experiment where Google is not Hey let's mess with the side of the navigation Let's see what happens Well I do that with ants. It's like- Okay? Alright keep an eye on this. It's the Google version of frying ants with a magnifying glass

3:20:42 Yeah, well that's what they're doing with their...that's the eventual goal of the Google Glass. There it is! Skybox. Oh my eye!! I find this interesting on one hand but on the other hand of course completely creepy you know that they can...so eventually if you do live Live video or maybe delayed with a snapshot. That's what you want! I don't want that Oh look, there is Adam he is coming out of his house You think that's him? Yeah you can tell by the hair Okay there we go oh here comes Mickey now okay they're getting...oh that's interesting They are not...Oh they are getting picked up Hey wait By a limo That's not Mickey Let's follow the limo and see where it goes The limo?! Oh that's interesting The limo

3:21:36 Where's the limo taking me? Please, I need to know how this dream ends. It's going to the airport! Oh now you're gonna have some trouble finding... Well nope there he is you can't miss him. Wow that hair really makes him easy to spot. Alright nice What plane did they get on? I don't know. We've got to go to the cameras inside the airport to figure that out." I'll wind it up here with a little ditty from The United Kingdom, which just like as we know Amsterdam...we tracked this going back a couple years where there is a complete war on cash In many grocery stores, you cannot even pay with cash. You cannot pay with a credit card You have to pay with a pin card which will be getting this slave device will be introduced here in the United States as well And now they did a big experiment in in the United Kingdom's of Gitmo Nation East Experimenting and this is how it starts hey let's do a cashless weekend Yes

3:22:35 on the high street. And let's interview people about what they think about going cashless, guess what? It is fantastic! Every business on this road which is lined with independent stores and cafes now accepts card some do so more reluctantly than others but they're taking part in this cashless experiment as many shoppers now prefer plastic Do you prefer to use cash or card? Card, it's much easier. Much easier I'd put the ease of a card in my pockets Yeah i use cash for small amounts but card if its more expensive Last year spending on cards reached a record 500 billion pounds here in the UK Cash use has dropped by 14% over the last 5 years But more than half of all small businesses still won't let their customers pay by card

3:23:28 That's often because of the cost to the store, particularly if people aren't spending much. It is not ideal for us to take credit and debit cards as there is a charge associated with them it costs 17p for a debit card 1.6% for credit plus a penny for authorisation We normally charge 30p to the customer if they spend less than £6 but today to encourage them to use cards we're going to waive those charges. But retail experts believe advances in technology mean the costs will come down encouraging more and more businesses to take part I think there will be a point when we don't use physical cash anymore. And, yeah, I don't think it's that far away. We've reached the point where we don't use cheques anymore. This is a retail expert and consultant of course! I don't know when was the last time I wrote a cheque was? And I think that you know... The only reason we carry money around is because it was the way to pay for things in the past. The way to pay for things in the future isn't going to be with physical cash so not long. Cash is a way to pay for things in the past

3:24:32 Yeah, you old-fashioned bastard. I still write checks! I love writing checks. I write checks? I like writing checks. I only have three bills that come in here... We have rent, I write a check we have utilities water and power comes together I write a check and what is the third thing? We like checks at The No Agenda Show. Yeah! I love writing a check it also reminds me that i'm spending something I'm promising, i'm putting my signature and saying I promise that I will pay you this. It's like a... it's my own little Federal Reserve note You know? I would prefer to walk over with a bunch of cash and say here! Which apparently is no longer allowed at Chase Bank we heard from our Grand Duke. You cannot deposit cash in someone else's bank account if you are with Chase

3:25:27 And why might that be? Because you're probably funding a porn operation or terrorists or something else incredibly lame. Don't do business with Chase! Alright Jean-Claude, let's wrap it up for today we got a lot of work ahead of us for the coming week as we continue to evaluate the work of The Kagans, The Neocons, The Caliphate... anything else... Caliphate! Anything else coming down the pike We'll be all over it for you as we continue to also evaluate who we believe will win the World Cup. Looks like Brazil is still a pretty good, uh... Pretty good contender considering the economic state of affairs. Yep. Which is what its all about. I'm sticking with that one but you may have some other logic when we discuss more seriously on Thursday Yeah well it's a long competition takes forever

3:26:20 Yeah, I think it's get over with like a golf game. You know it just in the weekend now if you found some kind of value in this program we'd appreciate you to provide some value back for us in the form of a financial contribution at Dvorak org slash na and Evaluate John's new temperature donation seems to be interesting and catching on Until then, coming to you from the Travis Heights hideout here in the capital of the drone star state. In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where for some unknown reason the freeway is jammed up on a Sunday. I'm John C. DuVora. We'll be back on Thursday right here On No Agenda Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine
