About this episode

The Smith-Munt Modernization Act of 2012 has fundamentally altered the domestic media landscape, legally authorizing the U.S. government to broadcast propaganda to its own citizens. This legislative shift coincides with the proliferation of high-production ISIL beheading videos, which critics argue are being utilized as a psychological tool to manipulate public opinion and justify massive military spending. The recent arrest of Mufid Elfgeeh in Rochester serves as a primary example of the six-week scare cycle used to maintain national anxiety.

FBI Director James Comey recently testified before Congress using elaborate medical metaphors, describing Al-Qaeda as a metastasized tumor and characterizing the modern cyber threat landscape as an evil layer cake of activists and criminals. Meanwhile, Attorney General Eric Holder announced new Department of Justice pilot programs designed to embed surveillance networks within local communities under the guise of public safety partnerships. In Pennsylvania, the manhunt for survivalist Eric Frein has transformed local municipalities into zones of military simulation, while the TSA continues to refine its security theater, recently detaining a traveler after his Chanel cologne triggered explosive sensors.

Kira Kazantsev secured the Miss America 2015 title after a talent segment involving a plastic cup, though the pageant drew criticism for its rigged question round featuring Brigadier General Anne McDonald. In a bizarre cultural crossover, Uber has appointed former Defense Secretary Robert Gates to its advisory board to lead a veteran recruitment initiative. The broadcast concludes with a nod to the late Jack Webb and a warning about the Class Dojo app’s role in normalizing surveillance for second-graders.

Power Outage Delays, Host Rituals, Transformer Explosion

A power outage caused by a transformer explosion on a rocky hill delayed the broadcast by five hours. One host describes a highly tuned morning ritual involving a special diet and vitamins, comparing the routine to that of a racehorse or a professional athlete. The disruption left the hosts with excess energy, leading to four hours of unscheduled songwriting.

Let's mark the time here it is Approximately five hours later than usual yeah, well good for the Australians make sure that they find out about this It was a little difficult for me though John is I don't know about you But this really threw me off.

Sir Patrick Coble, Custom Podcast Trophy, Military Symbolism

Sir Patrick Coble bestowed a handmade "Best Podcast of the Year" trophy upon the hosts, featuring an old-school Shure 55 microphone and a USMC-stamped "Cob bar" killing device. The award symbolizes the golden age of radio propaganda and American military industrialization. The trophy arrived in a handmade box with the knife component shipped separately for safety.

02:16 Oh, God. Exactly. I got a big trophy in the mail as you go get your trophy? No! I saw the picture now just is the knife stuck on the top of it then you had no other knife which kind of ship separately and then you stick the knife in it later because it would be impossible to ship otherwise okay but yeah the knife stuck into the microphone so we both received an official podcast award The best podcast of the year what year is it 2015 13 oh really And what organization bestowed this upon us? This is Sir Patrick Coble. I love it, he gave it the awards beautiful so it's like an old-school microphone on top of a little trophy. Sure, can we read the note from him you don't have to know the same note I'm sure and hope this treasure trove comes in a beautiful box handmade

03:07 Makes it to you safe. They originally started the process of making the award around Halloween of last year, but life and a couple of delayed eBay orders for some of the components got in the way. I hope the award creates a sense... A sense to to a media, anyways some sort of... I don't know what the sentence says. The Shure 55 microphone symbolizes the golden age of radio news and music when the mass media could deliver propaganda instantly. Yeah! The Cob bar is a well-known American killing device to symbolize American military industrialization in the military industrial complex and the United States Marine Corps

03:48 Anyway, it's got a USMC stamp on it which means its knife kind of fades out here. A knife or something or other I couldn't mail with the thing stuck in there so if you put it aside and stick to it right anyway goes on and on and I was very impressed impressive looking this is the kind of things by the way it's very large love it So this will be a conversation piece of music.

Smith-Munt Modernization Act, Domestic Propaganda, ISIL Videos

The Smith-Munt Modernization Act of 2012, passed as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, is identified as the legal mechanism allowing the U.S. government to broadcast propaganda domestically. This legislation allegedly facilitates the use of fake ISIL beheading videos to manipulate public opinion. The hosts argue that the government is now legally permitted to run COINTELPRO-style operations on its own citizens.

04:43 And even, John you're a level-headed guy. When you look at these ISIL so called beheading videos it's bullcrap and we've been in television...we know that this is just not this sure they've lopped people's heads off but not this! This is not it. This is incredibly fake but it is being used blatantly to leverage the public. Yes and I was reminded that the Smith-Munt modernization act of 2012 which we discussed on this program I know you're drawing a blank because i had the same thing like oh man

05:25 This was part of the National Defense Authorization Act, which repealed the domestic prohibition allowing the government's broadcasting of propaganda. Yes! So this is why they're so... We can run COINTEL on our own public. Right? I remember that. Yeah and so this is why it's so easy because we don't have to do a lot of work because it just works. I heard your conversation with Horowitz that was a perfect example It was really interesting to hear him go, what? What the videos that... Really they're bogus. They're fake because he of course hadn't seen them you know like a good Samaritan He doesn't want to look at blood and gore You know yeah only looks at porn I guess But you know he does well who doesn't hey which is another thing I want to ask you about so i've been alone now for eight days nine days

CHAPTER 04 / 50 Discussion

Air Conditioner Failure, Loneliness Anecdote, Capacitor Explosion

A host recounts a period of isolation that led to physical symptoms of hyperventilation and paranoia, initially mistaken for a health crisis or menopause. The distress was actually caused by a blown capacitor in an air conditioning unit, which allowed the indoor temperature to reach nearly 90 degrees. The story concludes with a humorous recommendation to use alcohol to cope with such domestic malfunctions.

06:20 Is that the secret harmonica no I'm playing this sad song for you. Don't do you ever get like lonely No, because you're by yourself. I have to clean my office for one thing that would keep me from away from loneliness for the next six months Be honest with me for a minute is there never a moment that you think I'm lonely Lonely I don't maybe if I'm traveling sometimes I'll be somewhere and I say oh this would be nice so we could share this moment this guy yeah Maybe I'm watching your cop car blow up or something right? and our season's top state of bonfire. You can always call me if you feel lonely, you see a cop car flying on fire give me your call I'll be your friend. So easy cause he said that'd be too bad like wasn't sharing this with somebody because now all they could do is not discuss it okay so clearly don't understand what I'm talking about oh my god i'm so lonely watching television alone now I haven't done time for that by the way just drink more and it makes everything go by well this is what I figured out this is a very good tip

07:22 But yesterday, so yesterday morning. Very good to write that I'm sitting in a we have we have a great room now which is kitchen living room dining room at the time and dining table is so huge you can work out it and so I've been sitting there getting clips and preparing over did clips actually And I get kind of this lonely moment, you know it's new for me. I'm never really alone and like...and then I start to am I hyperventilating? What is going on here?! And I get really warm and I'm like oh! And iIm starting to freak out because who am I gonna call? Menopause?? And then what is going on???

08:01 And I'm feeling like, I can't breathe. You just turned 50 and now you're freaking out! The air conditioner had broken... Oh. ...and the capacitor had blown. So it didn't pop? No but it was making- the fan was blowing but the compressor outside wasn't turning so it was slowly 87 or 88 degrees and I'm so engrossed in doing clips And then, you know the simultaneous of the uncomfortableness of the air and a little bit of paranoia. I was freaking out! Then I remembered your handy tip... just drink more. So everything's good." Yeah. Yes. Um so we almost waited long enough to get this show on the road so that we could actually announce the result of The Scottish Vote

CHAPTER 05 / 50 Discussion

Scottish Independence Referendum, Market Panic, Global ATM Network

The Scottish independence vote results are pending, with predictions of a thin margin and potential calls for a recount. A hypothetical scenario is discussed where a "yes" vote triggers a global stock market freeze and a shutdown of the international ATM network over a weekend. The discussion touches on the potential for similar independence movements in Wales, Catalonia, and Texas.

scotland· independence· referendum· stock market· atm network· wales· catalonia

08:52 Yeah, I was hoping that there was more coming in by now and there's nothing. I don't think the entire results it I think it's 330 And where they have the first results with the full tally won't be until 7 a.m.. UK time Right which is? I know what that's like tomorrow or something or as late no It's like 11 like a little table for independence because i and yeah and i'd be actually i'm kindness thinking they won't I'm still thinking they will. This is their... They have nothing to lose! It's just that they're going to vote yes and get it thrown back in their face. Yeah, because obviously the elites of the world cannot allow this to actually take place. Just think next will be Wales? No but Wales but then how about Catalonia from Spain everyone will start doing this. A visa? Texas? Texas is always in play yeah

09:54 I'd be all for it. You know, bring a lot of people that are you want to visit me? Bring your passport. No, no passport. Don't worry about it. I know you're welcome. You're welcome here. You're you're a welcome guest not the ever come visit but you're welcome guest anyway so that how do we get to that yes Scotland Scotland Scotland So we really don't but here's a scenario I would have if I were to put together a great scenario Here's, maybe I was writing this down when I got the hyperventilation. So the 7 a.m Friday is when they get the results of the vote let's say the result is resounding yes then by this time The US markets are freaking out The market and stock markets are going to be going crazy I think that shut down the exchanges freeze it all Shut everything down early for the weekend And then Saturday night the ATM network goes down

10:54 But in Scotland? Just, no this is worldwide. Oh... If Scotland really Separates there's a lot of stock market activity that's going to take place and I think they'll be so much volume would be so crazy They'll have to freeze the exchanges. There will be panic. I don't think so This is just giving you an example of a cool thing that could happen Oh, then we'd be cool being Friday with the weekend Yeah, yeah, not be great then unplugged the ATM network on Saturday night. Yeah freak everyone out Yeah this would be this is what I would do just just watch it happen I don't think that, it's not good. I think the original thesis that we had which is going to be a thin margin yes and then they're gonna call for recount and revote and all the rest of it you know end up... That makes the most sense. I mean I would like this as an overwhelming majority say yes if were sick of working with these people they don't like us and we are out here! We are taking the oil with us yeah mm-hmm in our kilt

11:57 Well, the kilts and then we hereby make kilt illegal everywhere else now isn't there an Irish independence vote as well? Is this I'm a little confused. I learned when did their vote and went independent in 1922 I know but still keep seeing people talking about some Maybe they're talking about Northern Ireland. I have no idea because Northern Ireland is in play right now that the United Kingdom will be is Northern Ireland, Scotland and Britain but if Scotland goes, Northern Ireland might go too it's possible and this is vote themselves out This is an interesting day

Mukden Incident Anniversary, China-Japan Relations, Manchuria Invasion

China observed the 83rd anniversary of the Mukden Incident, marking the 1931 Japanese invasion of Northeast China. Ceremonies involving sirens and bell-ringing took place in Liaoning province to commemorate the victims of the decade-long occupation. The historical lack of a formal apology from Japan remains a significant point of diplomatic contention between the two nations.

12:35 A celebration of sorts in China, September 18th. Thursday marks the 83rd anniversary of the September 18 incident or the Mukden Incident which was the beginning of Japan's invasion of Northeast China in 1931. Sirens sounded across China and various activities were held to observe the day. In Northeast China's Liaoning province the occasion was marked by a bell ringing ceremony Have you heard this? The Mukden incident This is the Manchurian candidate This is not the Manchurian candidate. The attack of Manchuria by the Japanese to take over the damn place, and they just pushed the Chinese right out of everything butchered them and they acted very poorly towards the Chinese and Koreans for that matter. And by the time of World War II I mean after 10 years of this

13:25 The Chinese were really, you know they were massacred butchered it was horrible. It was and they just cut people up And the Japanese never apologized for it they refused And this is still a point of contention Yes, it's a big point of contention that Japanese have a lot of pride I don't know why Not much to be proud of! There's not much to be proud of at all So I do have a rundown clip that gives us the Scotland rap. Talks about it, got a few things to say maybe bring people up to speed before the vote comes in if you want. Overseas tonight and to the Queen in her castle, the one in Scotland and with good reason tonight because just a few hours from now voters will head to the polls deciding whether Scotland will stay in the UK or strike out on their own is this the end of the UK as we know it?

CHAPTER 07 / 50 Discussion

Queen Elizabeth II, Sean Connery, UK-US Alliance

Queen Elizabeth II and actor Sean Connery issued contrasting messages regarding the Scottish independence vote. Media reports suggest that Scottish independence could damage the alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States and require a redesign of the Union Jack flag. Speculation arises that the U.S. interest in the region is primarily tied to North Sea oil resources.

There was a little thing they said in there which I thought they ran past it pretty quickly which was that their relationship between the US will be spoiled Oh, shoot. Did I step on that? No you didn't step on it but you backed off a little bit from where you ended and they show a picture of Obama shaking hands with Cameron and I'm thinking what?! What! Saying independence is too good to miss the Queen pleading I hope people will think very carefully about the future if Scotland leaves markets will be roiled The alliance with the US damaged even the Union Jack flag may have to change

16:40 The alliance with the US damaged? Yeah. Hmm... How?! I don't know! Maybe we're screwing them out of their oil or fighting a scam. Okay, then we could be part of it. Hmm...

Eric Frein Manhunt, Pennsylvania State Police, Military Simulation

A massive manhunt is underway in Pennsylvania for Eric Frein, a 31-year-old suspect accused of killing a state trooper. Authorities describe Frein as a survivalist and military reenactor who may believe he is a soldier in active combat. The media coverage is criticized for using "fear porn" tactics, such as closing schools and using military terminology like "police barracks" to describe the situation.

Where does this come from?!

This would typically be the time of day that you'd hear the hustle and bustle of kids coming home from school, but instead you only hear the sounds or the country in fact, you barely even see much activity outside of these houses at all.

We're the tough police you know that guys a douchebag I mean these cops yeah This brings me to a question i had for you this is somewhat related

CHAPTER 09 / 50 Discussion

County Sheriffs, Constitutional Authority, Tenth Amendment

Former Sheriff Richard Mack discussed the constitutional power of county sheriffs on Thom Hartmann's program, arguing they are the highest law enforcement officials because they are directly elected. The debate centers on the Tenth Amendment versus the Supremacy Clause and the hierarchy of federal agencies like the FBI compared to local sheriffs. The hosts explore the overlapping jurisdictions of sheriffs and city police in various states.

sheriff· richard mack· thom hartmann· tenth amendment· supremacy clause· jurisdiction

25:15 I was watching... this is the Thaum show. I can't believe that I caught the Thaum show, Thaum Hartman. Yes And he has on his show Richard Mack, I think is his name and this guy is in one of these constitutional political party groups. I think actually he ran for... hold on a second to have it here I believe he ran for office a couple times. He has held an office, here is Richard Mack M-A-C-K former sheriff of Graham County Arizona two time candidate for United States Congress okay and he is talking with Tham about the power of the sheriff and this is something that

25:57 I guess a constitutional question and just caught my ear. And I wanted to talk to you about it because this is something I know very little about, and I feel kind of ashamed that I don't understand how this works or the importance of this hierarchy. Do you? Do you agree with this notion that the highest law enforcement officials in the country are the county sheriffs? Of course. Why, where... Because I was one! Yeah but what about the supremacy clause why isn't an FBI agent... The supremacy clause says that the federal government has to follow the Constitution and laws don't become supreme unless it's pursuant to their constitution we agree with that part. The supremacy clause does not grant carte blanche to the federal government just the opposite

26:39 only 10th elected law enforcement officer in the county. The FBI isn't elected, the IRS if any of those agencies DEA any of the law enforcement agencies they're not elect but you're still in most cases the state police are there on either but the director of the state police is appointed by the governor who was elected well you can get all sorts of bureaucrats in there but their they're still bureaucrats and they answer to the governor they don't answer to the people now Is that true? How what is the hierarchy of the county sheriff and is that? California generally speaking except in places like San Francisco where there's a county sheriff and city police their law enforcement duties overlap Essentially, where's my horn Bob. I'm afraid to do anything now because you think it's a reward. I'm not gonna buzz you for essentially Okay, then they put it down the book though

27:36 Oh, I'll give you a buzz then. Just so you feel better." You know...You're the one by the way who never used to say this! And I'm catching it everywhere. Everybody is using the word essentially. As long as I'm catching it everywhere but I never used to say until you brought it up. I didn't bring it up someone brought it up to me that I was using it. Yes. Well anyway let's get back to this. So in California for the most part, the unincorporated parts of the state are governed by the Sheriff's Department In some of the areas such as the county of San Francisco, which is also San Francisco City. You have an overlapping jurisdiction where the sheriff and that police...and they usually take different parts of the job. I was talking to a…there's also thing called The Constable which is another cop. And they tend…I asked them, I was talking to the Las Vegas…there was a riot going on or something.

28:32 standing near it. And you thought to yourself, gee I wish i could share this moment with someone? Yes so very lonely so I decided to talk to the police guy that was standing there. Doesn't go well with tip number one by the way Anyway, so I asked him about the jurisdiction and he had...it was a very complicated situation in Nevada. And it was...and the constable was the one that was most interested because I kept seeing a constable car driver and says all they do is serve warrants and they...eviction notices like that. It's actually somewhat confusing. Now, the guy is right about the fact

29:08 The sheriffs are typically elected, and he's also generally...and his thing about the Tenth Amendment was right on the money. Very Tenth Amendment-y. And Thaum was just right over his head because he has no concept of this as far as he is concerned like most liberals that the supremacy clause means that federal Trump's local. That's all it means to all of them when its bull crap but doesn't. But okay anyway so its actually slightly confusing So, you're not really in bad shape because you don't know this. Adam Chapnick Okay but I haven't really learned anything is... Dr. Justin Marchegiani No, you've learned nothing. Adam Chapnick Does this mean that we need to be more vocal about the power of the sheriff or does the sheriff have this power but it's just not being recognized? Dr. Justin Marchegiani No and most places he is very recognized.

29:57 Yeah, this is just something I have no experience with. But I see the signs all the time that vote for this guy for sheriff and like, who gives a crap? And now I know because he's the guy that can...I know the sheriff! I met him here. Yeah it was good probably a good guy. Yeah its'a good guy. He's a politician so.. Yes exactly but he has those little cool cards That you can hold up when you get stopped for consideration. Oh that's nice Hello officer for your consideration. I tried that with my global entry card didn't work too well I have to tell you something that, I noticed this. I was looking at the global entry card which you don't use for global entry. You swipe your passport. You never take the card out of its trusted traveler pouch which is an RFID Faraday pouch. Now let me ask you this...

CHAPTER 10 / 50 Discussion

Global Entry Cards, RFID Security, French Language Absurdity

The Global Entry trusted traveler card is characterized as "security theater," featuring holograms of speedboats and four-door DeLoreans. Despite being a U.S. program, the cards include French and Spanish translations for basic fields like "given name" and "date of birth." Users are advised to keep the cards in RFID-shielding Faraday pouches to prevent unauthorized scanning.

30:45 So I'm looking this is a very expensive pass it has a hologram on it Which has a plane, a car and a boat. And the boat is kind of like a speedboat with a single outboard engine Yeah smugglers yeah, I'm telling you the plane looks more like a King Air That you use to smuggle anything over from Cuba and that car is like a four-door DeLorean somehow It looks like a DeLorean with four doors But this card is only good For America, you can only use this card. Well you don't even use the card but it is intended... The global entry system is for entry into America But to make this all more official for your $140 They add French everywhere on the card Which I just thought that the absurdity of it hit me yesterday That IS absurd! We're not Canadian So given name, prenom, nombre It's in Spanish as well Surname, nom de famille

31:38 Date de naissance. Maybe there's a lot of French to do business and they want that card, I don't know? I found it just hilarious but i think its just for theater... playtime! Yeah yeah well I think we've made this point. I'm sorry no no I was just looking at it. It's total theater you got a pretty little card now I want one. Its in french because you need so much of that here all right I just, I got over...I got just blown away with fear porn yesterday. And I don't know where to start. I looked at the every single Q&A session and watched Carrie, I watched all the Homeland Security douches and it...and the way that translated into the news was just very strange. Well my favorite thing going on with a fear porn is that douchebag Lindsey Graham

CHAPTER 11 / 50 Discussion

FBI Director James Comey, Terror Metaphors, Al-Qaeda Tumor

FBI Director James Comey utilized extensive medical metaphors during congressional testimony to describe the evolving terrorist threat. Comey referred to the core of Al-Qaeda as a "tumor" that has "metastasized" into North Africa and the Mediterranean. He expressed specific concern regarding a "terrorist diaspora" of Westerners returning from conflict zones in Syria and Iraq.

james comey· fbi· al-qaeda· tumor· metastasis· syria· iraq

32:39 And coming out, there was an article going around Twitter actually I think some of our producers pushed it through. He actually says we've got to stop ISIS or ISIL before they come over here and kill us all! Yeah, Lindsey Graham said that Yeah, that was so stupid. I didn't even clip that. It was the issue... Well i was actually going to clip it but then The Washington Post which had a video of it they made me what? I have to subscribe to the damn newspaper So I just killed the whole idea well It's almost as if we have to compete as if the news has to compete with our officials so Comey

33:21 the new director of FBI, who was a banker before this HSBC on the board and just a huge banker. And of course, the FBI is in charge of all kinds of monetary related issues that he gets in and he just starts throwing out metaphors like it's no one else's business about terror and everything I just had to pull a couple these clips because this guy has a piece of work. Chairman as you know, I was gone from government for almost a decade I have a perspective that may be different on the terrorist threat. When i came back to... Yeah, rich perspective exactly so you get to look at it from a rich guy's standpoint You know I was gone from government for almost a decade and so I have a perspective that maybe different on the terrorist threat when I came back to goverment a year ago

34:08 I discovered the threat had changed in two ways that struck me first. Thanks largely to our men and women uniform We had taken the fight to the core al-qaeda tumor in the Afghanistan Pakistan region So there's the first one he starts off with tumor, and I find it I like the term core al-qaeda tumor tumor yeah, that would be a Hmm that would look good above the clubhouse wouldn't it? The corel. I meant did you get the sign did you get the sign called al-qaeda to my here is not a tumor It's a club and shrunk that tumor, and we shrunk the tube then this metaphor is ranked a tumor

34:46 This is very interesting that he's using this, particularly since cancer is a... you know we haven't defeated cancer yet. I just want to point that out as he comes in the cancer. Oh interesting! Very interesting. This is the tumor- We shrunk the tumor but... In significant way But at the same time Ah You see? This is the analogy people understand. We'd experienced a metastasis of that cancer. Oh my god it never lets up! It doesn't stop The metastasis of that cancer Which means it goes to your lymph nodes and your lungs, and you'd be f'ed if this is your death warrant. Because there is no cure for cancer particularly... It goes through your ISOL. You do not want the metastasis diagnosis from your doctor! The progeny of Al-Qaeda, this metastasis had sprung up in ungoverned or lightly governed spaces In North Africa, the Gulf, the Mediterranean ways that are familiar to this committee

35:34 The manifestation in Syria and Iraq is obviously a huge example of that metastasis How can he keep yeah, but how can you keep doing this? And so that metastasis coupled with the phenomenon of travelers Seeking to go to those safe havens To get the experience of being a terrorist to make those connections is a way in which that change strikes me I am very concerned about the going. I'm even more concerned about the coming the coming. There will be a terrorist diaspora out of those areas, especially Syria that we all wake up every day thinking and worrying about. That's right. Every day wakes up this guy is loaded with buzzwords. Wait there's more let's talk about cyber if you can imagine cyber

CHAPTER 12 / 50 Discussion

Evil Layer Cake, Cyber Security, Internet of Things

Director James Comey described the variety of cyber threats as an "evil layer cake," with activists in the middle and criminals or pedophiles at the bottom. The testimony included a reference to the Internet of Things, specifically the idea of sneakers communicating with a refrigerator. The hosts mock the use of these colorful metaphors by high-ranking government officials.

cyber security· evil layer cake· james comey· pedophiles· internet of things· refrigerator

36:24 I mean what metaphor would you put together for all the threats, but all of the different threats that comprise the cyber terror? I'm assuming it's not a baseball metaphor. No no you'll never guess! iIm sure wouldn't can you just Enlighten the committee. This guy's drunk Oh that guy! Again this is Comey about to speak, the director of the FBI A little more on where you see some of those cyber threats coming from What? Cyber threat? Yeah Thank You Mr Thompson They come from everywhere It's sort of a stack called an evil layer cake An evil layer cake John

37:08 This guy has a writer! Activists that's the crunchy middle and thugs and criminals and child abusers and pedophiles Pedophiles at the bottom of the heap as usual. As I said because our entire world is now on the internet I'm told soon my sneakers will talk to my refrigerator to Tell the refrigerator, I just went for a run but because our whole world is there That's where those refrigerator be interested in whether or not he went for a run Because he needs to see if the evil layer cake can be consumed yet

37:56 Because maybe the crunchy pedophiles at the bottom aren't, you know, properly placed. Why are pedophiles on the bottom? I'm surprised they didn't throw life meters in there! No that's not a cyber activity John It's about cyber activity. Cyber, yeah. There are no white beaters doing it cyber... well there is bullies! So the mainstream media hears this and the gauntlet is down. What? Is this guy trying to steal our thunder?!

CHAPTER 13 / 50 Discussion

Mufid Elfgeeh Arrest, FBI Sting, Homegrown Violent Extremists

Mufid Elfgeeh, a pizza shop owner in Rochester, New York, was arrested following an FBI sting operation for allegedly attempting to recruit for ISIS. Although the arrest occurred in May, the story was recently highlighted to justify increased security in Times Square despite the lack of a specific plot. The case is presented as an example of the "six-week scare cycle" used to maintain public anxiety.

mufid elfgeeh· rochester· fbi sting· isis· lone wolf· times square

38:35 You know, we make up these packages with crazy metaphors. Not you! But okay... I think this is CNN? Is this CNN? They made a package out of one of his statements and another one of his metaphors is the crazy kid who's radicalized in the basement because that's where they live, you see, in the basement That's something you need to have that fear of basement dweller and they made a package. It is no longer necessary to actually meet somebody in Al Qaeda, uh... To get training and inspiration to conduct the terrorist attack here in the United States Someone can do it in their pajamas in their basement Just this week The FBI charged a Rochester New York man Mufad Elfji with attempting to assist ISIL

39:16 Elfji has been on the FBI's radar since 2013. A naturalized U.S. citizen from Yemen, he was arrested in June after buying two handguns and two silencers. Authorities say he was plotting to kill Army veterans who had fought in Iraq. FBI Director James Comey indicated these are the hardest threats to detect These are the homegrown violent extremists that we worry about who can get all the poison they need and the training they need to kill Americans. And in a way, it's very hard for us to spot between the time they emerge from their basement and maybe kill innocent Americans. I said just patrol all basements is what I'm thinking. That basements would be a place to start you have to now stop this for a second and play the ABC News official White House mouthpiece

40:06 news version of this guy instead of that wimpy package that they put together on CNN listen to this package which is the homegrown ISIS threat. We're going to turn now to a major development tonight and the new concern about the threa- what? Major, it's major! It's very major developments. Stop the press! ISIS right here in the US Why is he saying ISIS? Isn't it... haven't we determined its ISIL? We've determined the following The government uses ISIL The media uses ISIS This is the media WE use ISIL by the way Of course we use ISIL That is what the president uses

40:46 That's official. There is some resistance amongst the media people to use ISIS and they keep using it, this is an example of like yesterday. One of the biggest worries all along those so-called lone wolves there is late word tonight that officials here in New York are stepping up security in Times Square and look at this man from Upstate New York Rochester under arrest a local business owner charged with recruiting terrorists for ISIS ABC senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas with late details The notion that the owner of Mojo's Pizza and Chicken may have been a secret disciple of ISIS who wanted to kill fellow citizens today left many residents in Rochester, New York shocked. It was kind of mind-boggling that could actually happen in America. An undercover FBI sting operation portrays Mufid Elfji as a Yemeni American seething with hatred

41:37 Newly unsealed documents detail Elfjee using aliases on Twitter, exhorting his support for terrorist groups and violent jihad. At one point allegedly posting that ISIS will one day rule the world Prosecutors accuse Elfgyi of actively communicating with ISIS supporters overseas, often using social media. This is the first known case where anyone has been accused anywhere of attempting to recruit for ISIL or ISIS Right now authorities are extremely concerned that Isis is using social media during courage attacks by lone wolves The FBI claims Elf G sent $600 to a man in Yemen as seed money to join ISIS in Syria. I appreciate what you're saying, but this is not scaring anybody! This is one of the most boring packages I've ever heard! All sound effects... We'll finish it off and then we want to talk about that for a second Well, I need to play you the real package, but sure. ...all while trying to convince two FBI informers here in the US to join Isis as well

42:35 He was arrested in May after allegedly giving one of the informants more than $1,000 to buy two handguns with silencers. Amid the concerns about ISIS New York City police stepping up security tonight in Times Square despite no specific plot. No specific plot. Okay now here's what gets me about this and you can play your clip next they said they actually arrested this guy in may yes and why are they stepping up security in times square now? Well, because this is propaganda bullcrap and it's legal. It's total propaganda bull...and despite no specific threat Because the guy was buying the guns from FBI agents It's a setup! It's a sting! This is what they always do. This is the re-speech cycle. This is classic except for the

CHAPTER 14 / 50 Discussion

Eric Holder, Community Partnerships, Pilot Programs

Attorney General Eric Holder announced new Department of Justice pilot programs designed to build "community partnerships" to identify homegrown threats. These programs involve religious leaders and public safety officials working with U.S. attorneys to improve local engagement. The hosts compare these collaborative surveillance networks to historical collaborationist movements in occupied Europe.

eric holder· department of justice· pilot programs· religious leaders· surveillance

43:21 In fact, they didn't have them push a button or anything. Hey I've got a pizza place that's trying to run here. What are you guys bothering me? So this is what we're going to see now and a lot of this HVE the homegrown violent extremist stems from of course the highest douche in the land just Attorney General Holder And he came out and he laid down this whole thing that they're going to do, which is yeah we're going to see the six week cycle might tighten into three weeks. I could see them easily chopping it in half because we're gonna have this network just listen... ...and we have engaged in extensive outreach communities here This his own little podcast he does on justice.gov He sits in front of his law books and hey boy I'm Holder In the United States so we can work with them To identify threats before they emerge

44:07 To disrupt homegrown terrorists and to apprehend would-be violent extremists But we can and we must do even more. Okay, here comes today I am announcing that the Department of Justice is partnering with the White House The Department of Homeland Security knew that the partner in with the White House what? Well he's but he starts off with this partnering so then the other partners that are not within government You know don't seem so strange I'm partnering with the White House and the National Counterterrorism Center to launch a new series of pilot programs in cities across the nation. Pilot programs? These programs will bring together community representatives, public safety officials religious leaders Religious leaders! Yeah there it is they've always been working on those religious leaders to be spying on you And United States attorneys to improve local engagement Engagement?! What it's a social network they're running? How's the engagement in Ohio

45:03 We're pretty engaged over here, clicking away. To counter violent extremism and ultimately to build a broad network of community partnerships to keep our nation safe. Now we had a word for that in the Netherlands in the second world war was NSB which is you were a collaborateur then if they caught you they'd shave your head off and tar and feather you. Collaborateurs, spy That's what they're talking about building. Is this not perhaps the force that the president promised when he was still a senator? Maybe, I mean or maybe the beginning of it could be. You start small and then you kind of institutionalize and say it went so well because we haven't had any attacks. Nothing happened nothing happened yeah we're all good Yeah just listen to last 20 seconds and I'll play my other clip President Obama's leadership along with our interagency affiliates

45:59 We interagency affiliates will work closely with community representatives to develop comprehensive local strategies, to raise awareness about important issues. To share information on best practices and to expand and improve training in every area of our country. So there were a couple other like little sound bites and things that before I play this CNN package which is really it's a doozy There were just little things in some of the hearings that I picked up on. This is Jay Johnson, the replacement for Lucy Napolitano running the Department of Homeland Security's holding a magazine somehow Inspire Magazine has... The entire content has received a new cover and they're calling it the ISIS magazine or ISIL magazine

CHAPTER 15 / 50 Discussion

Jihad Cool, Inspire Magazine, Terrorist Branding

Representative Michael McCaul and DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson discussed the "branding" of terrorist organizations, referring to English-language recruitment materials as "Jihad Cool." Officials claim that groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda are in competition for subscribers and fundraising. The hosts dismiss the glossy magazines as recycled propaganda designed to create a false sense of sophistication.

inspire magazine· jihad cool· michael mccaul· isis· branding· recruitment

46:47 Would they say they've changed their branding? Well, they're just putting a different cover on a really old magazine and they're saying oh, they show you how to make bombs. It's ludicrous! These groups are in competition with one another for attention for fundraising... What? For subscribers. Yes! These groups are in competition with one another for attention for fundraising for recruitment And one way to compete is to show that you're the biggest and baddest group out there. I'm not going to be the leader in the global jihad without striking America." I didn't clip this, but I heard this too... This is such bullcrap! Well here's Representative McCaul, and sorry McCaul was actually holding the magazine. This one from ISIS a very glossy in English

47:34 It's it's what I called when I wrote my Wall Street Journal op-ed. Oh, they call it cool It's jihad cool when he that's how he writes about it jihad cool jihad cool everybody yes Jihad cool So all of this came on My should play this let me I'll play the CNN clip and I kept wanting to stop it but okay This is enough and then there was just another piece of unbelievable propaganda that they just throw out here. This to me, this is the... it's something that you must download this video you must keep this. This encompasses this moment in our history as completely manipulated stupid slaves

CHAPTER 16 / 50 Discussion

Airline Terror Threats, Store-Bought Explosives, CNN Fear Mongering

CNN reports on the threat of "lone wolf" terrorists using store-bought items to create explosives for attacking commercial flights. The coverage references the Boston Marathon pressure cooker bombs and the failed 2010 Times Square bombing. The hosts argue that these reports are part of a coordinated "scam" to justify massive government spending on security.

cnn· airline security· pressure cooker· boston marathon· times square· fear porn

48:23 Tonight a new terror threat to commercial flights and it's not just ISIS that US intelligence is worried about. Deborah Farrakh is out front. I just gave you that little setup by Aaron. You talk about effects, CNN's got a library about it. With ISIS propaganda out of Syria and Iraq juiced up on steroids the overriding threat to America U.S officials say is twofold Homegrown violent extremists The so-called lone wolves And planes A favor terror target because of the economic impact Mitch Silber ran the NYPD's intelligence analysis division. So there is sort of a flare for the dramatic and there is nothing more dramatic than an exploding airliner, and I think that's one of the reasons why they've continued to aim for that target Are you hard yet? Because I love this

49:14 Experts believe bomb makers now in Syria have been training jihadis from the West, in part to attack jetliners. It operates the most sophisticated propaganda machine of any terrorist organization Today the head of the National Counterterrorism Center testified that the immediate threat to the US? Lone wolves What really worries American counter-terrorism officials is ISIS will this by the way is not the guy who said it This is just one of their British analysts who they throw in there to make sound to make it all sound official Prioritize launching attacks against the United States will train Western recruits and bomb making and send them back unlike a sophisticated 9-11 attack where hijackers learned how to fly planes Officials say simpler attacks are the real threat appealing to extremists you need virtually no training and learning

50:03 little money. No training needed! To spread chaos with homemade explosives pieced together from store-bought items the Boston Marathon bombers used pressure cooker devices they learned to make online uh huh the 2009 subway plotter also made his own explosive device As did the foiled 2010 Times Square car bomber. With the specter of ISIS in Iraq and Syria, and the arrest of a Rochester New York man accused of recruiting wannabe ISIS fighters, The NYPD stepped up security Wednesday on mass transit And places like Times Square to provide peace of mind. It just keeps on going

50:40 And of course nobody ever says, well this was the guy who was arrested in May. Why did they suddenly step up security when they say there's no known anything? Because this is only... This is all part of a scam! Yeah exactly and the scam what is half a billion dollars? Is this really the scam that we're after? This is bullcrap. That's half a billion dollars is nothing. In the land of arming someone that's not a real offer of anything. And, of course it flies right through the House and will go through Senate and everyone's like yeah we... I don't agree but I do it! We should do something! It's our duty! Did you see the president at the base?

CHAPTER 17 / 50 Discussion

Barack Obama, Iraq Strategy, Speech Cadence Analysis

An analysis of President Obama's speech on Iraq reveals a highly precise, rhythmic cadence designed for emotional impact. While the President stated that U.S. forces will not have a "combat mission," the hosts argue that "advisors" on the ground are effectively engaged in combat. The strategy relies on air power and equipping local partners to fight ISIL.

barack obama· iraq· military advisors· air power· speech cadence· combat mission

51:21 talking where he announced all of this? Yeah, I have a clip actually. Oh, I clipped it too! But I have the clip...I only got a couple clips but I only kept the one where you actually discussed the details of what he intends to do That's the one i have as well um but and he's reading you have to remind yourself when you watch the president do this He is reading okay This is not coming from his heart and if you go I took this longer clip and he has a cadence, John that is so precise. That is...I think we can analyze it in fact uh I made a screenshot for you if you go to ITM dot IM slash cadence. Uh...ITM dot IM. IM slash cadence

52:20 Oh, hmm. That's interesting. Now did you see the overview at the top of that picture? You can scroll around to see it So he starts off then and so the solid bits are loud And it's almost as equal length He goes really soft then he goes loud It's a little shorter than he goes Soft for about the same amount Then he goes loud and then he goes softer little bit and then he really finishes off big and thats his...thats the entire nuts and bolts of it if you will Yeah, that's an interesting idea. That's probably been broken... It has probably been found to be effective I guess? I don't know! I have no idea Well let's listen to his little this little thing where we have to do it for the children and for everybody The reason he is talking to people that he's clearly you know sending into war America can make a decisive difference but I want to be clear the American forces that had been deployed to Iraq Do not and will not have a combat mission Okay They will support Iraqi Forces on the ground

53:20 as they fight for their own country against these terrorists. As your commander-in-chief, I will not commit you and the rest of our armed forces to fighting another ground war in Iraq." And by the way this is total bullcrap because an advisor can actually be firing the gun advising you how to fire the gun This is all legalese it's all total bullcrap Now I've had multiple cross conversations with our military intelligence group And the advisors are teaching people how to use the weapons and they just happen to be doing it against the enemy. So this is combat, make no mistake! This is a lie! After a decade of massive ground deployments... It's more effective to use our unique capabilities in support of partners on the ground so they can secure their own country futures

54:13 And that's the only solution that will succeed over the long term. Now this is the pitch, now he has to sell it! What can we sell it with? We'll use our air power. Oh yeah, okay we'll use that! We will train and equip our partners. Uh-huh. We will advise them and assist them. Heh heh heh... And lead a broad coalition of countries who have a stake in this fight. Now— Because this is not simply America versus ISIL. This is the people of the region fighting against ISIL It's the world rejecting the brutality of ISIL Yeah In favor of a better future for our children There you go! Our children's children All of them That's right Think of the children That's right, that's what you need to do everybody

CHAPTER 18 / 50 Discussion

Ebola Response, Liberia Military Command, Air Bridge

President Obama announced a major military escalation to combat the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, including the establishment of a command center in Liberia. Major General Darrell Williams is leading 3,000 troops to provide logistics and engineering support, including the creation of an "air bridge." The hosts speculate that the military presence may be a cover for testing experimental Ebola vaccines on soldiers.

ebola· liberia· military command· air bridge· darrell williams· vaccine testing

54:50 And then he had this, this lo- This very bad read I found. This whole lead up to what will be happening and how America is awesome. And this, I think it was a George W Bush speech that they just pulled out of their ass somewhere and just gave it to him. He tried to make it work and I thought it was horrible! Well he you know...I think he does a lot of cold reading. This IS A COLD READING!!! He was not comfortable with this copy Yeah. And if you're doing this particular speech and you don't have it nailed, you come across as phony and he really really came across a super phony. It is America that has the unique capability to mobilize against an organization like ISIL in a world full of broader social challenges. It is America that has the unique capability and know how to help contain and combat a threat like Ebola

55:48 I love this. What? Hold on a second, now he's going to give himself some credit for this. The epidemic in Africa Just so you know that is the epidemic in Africa everybody Ebola You heard of it? Want to make...you heard about this? Epidemic Africa Yeah? And yesterday- That was botched What?! Total botch! You can't do that No its stupid! Its stupid How To help contain and combat A threat like Ebola The epidemic in Africa And yesterday on top of all we are already doing to help I'm already doing so much on top of everything. I took time out of my day to go and fix Ebola."

56:25 I announced a major boost to our response. We're establishing a military command center in Liberia at the request of their government to support civilian efforts across the region. And Major General Darrell Williams, commander of our army forces in Africa arrived yesterday he's already on the ground. On the ground! 3 thousand troops we're sending just to help out people no worries and our armed forces will bring their unique unrivaled expertise in command and control, and logistics and engineering. We'll kill some people! That's why we're very unique at that. Including creating an air bridge to get health workers and medical supplies into West Africa faster." Now this to me was a conjured image which I believe has no basis in reality What air bridge?

57:07 Are they under siege? I don't know what this is. You know, I have a thought about this that's got nothing to do with what he said and I had that same clip but here talking about all the stuff in...I think it was in the late 90s or maybe it was even sooner earlier than that. I had a link to them and I think it went floating around Twitter of the American Ebola testing that was going on for a vaccine. And they had to, it was three-part test of different loads payloads of virus fragments to see if anyone could get immunity from a vaccine and I believe and I think the 3,000 soldiers...I would love to find out if any of them had this vaccine because I think this is just sending people into Ebola country to see if the vaccine works

57:58 Because the military is commonly used as guinea pigs. And if you're in a military and they say, you got to hear we're going to give you a vaccine, they never even tell you. They don't even have to tell you by the law. That's right. They can just give you a shot... Oh well, we'll find out. We'll find out someone will let us know. Yeah, eventually Lord knows it's a large enough sample size. Yeah that's the idea that's what the 3000 must be for because what is the point of these people? I just want to say 3,000 and then won't stop with 3000 but do you know what that costs on annual basis Lots. Ten billion dollars just for the men and women? Yeah, no they're all overhead is most of the expense. And then they can't cook for themselves they don't have KP guys anymore They bring in all these contractors that cook food for the military this is terrible McDonald's Pizza Hut they're on base

58:48 I've seen it in Basra. Yeah, yeah there Wendy's been creating an air bridge to get health workers and just though i'm not buying the air bridge That's bogus medical supplies into west africa faster And obviously in all our efforts the safety of our personnel will remain a top priority A top right in the nation of Liberia one person who heard this news yesterday was reported to say check this out We have been praying to get The disease wiped out of our country so if the coming of u.s troops will help us get that done we will be happy Happy little black man. It's bullcrap, nobody wants these troops. No of course not! And by the way how can something be a top priority? Well it's not of course its bull crap. But I mean but... Just something is the top priority. Yes its a contradiction in terms I agree Yeah you can't have A top priority because then you'd have another top priority wait a minute you cant' have two top priorities Well im going to guess that doesn't mean safety of our personnel is THE top priority That just a guess

CHAPTER 19 / 50 Discussion

Arrogance of American Exceptionalism, Military Service, Presidential Sincerity

The hosts criticize President Obama's rhetoric regarding America's unique role in global rescue missions as "arrogant" and reminiscent of George W. Bush. They question the sincerity of the President's emotional delivery when discussing the security of the country. The segment includes a brief tangent about the legal limit of golf clubs a player can carry in their bag.

american exceptionalism· george w. bush· arrogance· military service· sincerity

59:49 And that's the story. Oh! That was my favorite! That is a subplot. And that's the story and I'm sticking to it. You gotta cut that out, you gotta use that more. I shall. That's the story... And THAT'S THE STORY. I'M STICKING TO MY GUNS. Across-the-board. Across-the-board. So he is so...I think that was an ad lib by the way I think so too because he was too enthusiastic. If there is a hurricane, if there is a typhoon... Take it easy! ...if there's some sort of crisis, if there's an earthquake, if there's a need for rescue mission When the world is threatened. Yeah? When the world needs help, this is a buildup can you feel the buildup? You know this build up reminded me of this and now to tell you more about all the exciting details as Sega of America's president and CEO Tom Kalinske sounded just like that

1:00:42 It calls on America. Called on America, Merca hell yeah. Even the countries that complain about America complaining about us damn crazies see this is the George W Bush speech it's like even there's even countries that don't like us and they need help who do they call? Ghostbusters They call us That's right That is the most arrogant thing I've ever heard anyone say! It's really arrogant And I apologize on behalf of the American people that our president said this. This is the most arrogant... All that was missing for him after he said they'd call us, was him going, Wooo! Yeah! That's all that was missing. I am so embarrassed. It's pretty funny. So when I come in and walk into a room of other nationalities you should people you should stand and salute me

1:01:36 Because I'm an American and when you got a typhoon, or you got a hurricane even if you don't like us You bitches still call us! Now kiss my ring. And then America calls on you? Now this is a bummer Wait a minute... Wait a minute We're here to solve some other country's crap Well that doesn't sound like a very good deal To all the servicemen and women here and around the world we ask a lot of ya Yeah Yeah, I'll say. Determining to do the chip shot with a wedge or maybe you could shank it with the five iron. You use a chipper I think I must I'm a cheaper kind of guy, but you can do a nine iron A lot of guys don't have chippers in their bag. I betcha they only have so many clubs legally. You can't have everything Is there limit? Yeah

1:02:49 Yeah, oh I didn't know that what's the other ways guys would be carrying all kinds of strange clubs just for you know doing Oh, I'd see. I didn't even know there was a limit yeah No, you had to get only carry X number of clubs. I don't know what the numbers is change per league or per tournament Yeah, that would be when they have the rigid rules. If you're just playing a casual game with your buddy you can have 100 clubs. That's some caddy carrying two bags full of clubs. And if you're the president of America you can have whatever club you want? Well he has it made custom. But anyway this is the hardest decisions he estimates. 2.5 iron!

1:03:25 I do it only when i know the mission is vital to the security of this country that we love. I do it only because I know... That is so insincere! So this, and its really bothered me cause you know I have a, I come from military. And so when I hear him like, I really only, I really only do it.. Has he served? No of course not are you kidding me?! And he his voice cracks you phony phoney fake phony Mission is vital to the security of this country that we love I do it only because I know I do it only because I know I don't think he's taking a crap It's paining me. I can't poop this pains me You're the best there is what you do? The best but if there was a better some other guys, I get them screw y'all and frankly they're just Frankly just aren't

CHAPTER 20 / 50 Discussion

Terrorist Code Words, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Culinary School

CNN reported on "secret codes" used by convicted terrorists, where "culinary school" allegedly meant training camps and "peanut butter and jelly" meant jihad. The audio features Tarek Mahana and an unidentified associate in Somalia discussing their lack of internet access. The hosts mock the FBI's interpretation of these phrases, suggesting they are often mundane conversations re-labeled as criminal activity.

1:04:15 A lot of other folks who can perform in the same way. Who are poor enough and had no other future that you got into the military Some of you actually believe very much in protecting the country, and that's highly appreciated But there was just nobody else so sorry You're it! In fact there are none And there's something- What? We getting tired to listen to this guy Alright...you can listen to the whole thing But this was my favorite. We have broken the ISIS code, John Now if you recall that Al-Qaeda and I say ISIS only because that's what television bits here And this is not the ISIL we know that we found the terror laptop of doom The terror laptop of doom did not use these sophisticated Mujahideen encryption Yeah for some unknown reason Very troubling and now luckily

1:05:08 We have, and this comes to us through CNN. They report we have broken their top secret code. Oh really? Tonight shocking new audio from a convicted terrorist talking to a key ISIS operative. CNN has obtained tapes showing the secret ways that ISIS terrorists communicate with one another They talk in code about planning attacks against Americans. I want you to hear the codenames that they use for things. The Boston man wanted for questioning and connection with ISIS and its grisly propaganda, spoke frequently with friends about waging jihad against America and US troops. Ahmed Abu Samra, Pal Tarek Mahana and others often spoken code according to court documents. Culinary school was code for training camps

1:05:54 peanut butter and jelly code for jihad so I guess these guys couldn't ask that each other for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich well if you hear the audio i think they are listen as Mahana talks to another english speaker apparently in Somalia who tells him to come fight. Well right now, I'm at culinary school and just make peanut butter and jelly I think he's actually in the culinary school making peanut butter and jelly. I don't know if it's saying... It sounds almost like he might be in a culinary school, and then complaining about their lack of courseware where he's making peanut butter and jelly at a culinary academy. That would be no good! That's stupid! And this guy- What am I doing here? In this crazy place you're gonna just teach me peanut butter and jelly?! This guy doesn't sound like, hmmm, y'know

1:06:39 The non-jurors yes, and by the way. I'm a little it's not open I'm little disappointed that they didn't use mac and cheese as a code another English speaker apparently in Somalia who tells him to come fight Right now I think it's a Budweiser commercial was up I'm in a culinary making peanut butter and jelly. What's up? Recordings were introduced at Mahana's terror trial other court records show Pakistan was referred to as P town Yemen was the whoa this some sophisticated Philadelphia or Pittsburgh do you remember after that 9-11 attacks there was a period of time it was like I don't know maybe one or two years after the

1:07:25 the they happened where the FBI started rounding people up and they busted all these dumb fucks that were just you know goofing around. And they went to court, and they took a conversation between the two guys and essentially took like hi how are you doing? You said essentially okay Hi how are you doing thank you. Hi everybody let me put another mark down Two. That's two on the essentially and one on the weird do I'm lucky that I think I can break that one first So they had they take a conversation with the guy says well, yeah, I'm pretty good today What are you doing? Oh, I'm gonna go but I go get my car washed and the FBI just substitutes all the words Yeah every word. Well, yeah Well the way we see it The word I actually means jihad getting car wash means ak-47

1:08:18 What are you doing today means let's kill all Americans. I mean, it was just bullcrap! There was no basis for this reinterpretation of the exchange there was no foundation for it. No but I like the imagination. Oh my god...I like the imagination of peanut butter and jelly YMCA and the FBI was referred to as Bob or Brian. Yeah, talking about Bob. Why would there be two different guys? Bob or Brian is what the old guy, the new guy I don't know. Listen again to Mahana asking his unidentified friend for an email address. Do you have like a, uh... E-mail or something that you're checking? Or just the phone? Yeah actually I'm not even on the internet trust me there's no way i'm gonna be on the internet Okay Not that there isn't some here but where I am right now though There is just no internet! It sounds like there's no hotspot

Peter King, ISIS Assets, Mossad Book

Congressman Peter King warned that ISIS possesses thousands of assets capable of entering the United States, unlike the smaller numbers associated with Al-Qaeda. The discussion shifts to a 1990 C-SPAN clip featuring the author of "Every Spy a Prince," who explains the origins of the name "Israeli Secret Intelligence Service" (ISIS).

peter king· isis· al-qaeda· mossad· every spy a prince· national security

1:09:15 I don't know man. They're just throwing everything out that they can, they really didn't have the packages done for the Scotland stuff... Peter King flubbed nicely, I thought that was a funny one. Peter King is the douche knuckle who's on the committee is he not? Yeah! He's just a horrible person. Yes. Peter King from New York, Congressman you just heard Deb's report I know National Counterterrorism Director Matthew Olsen said today terrorists are targeting flights that Americans fly What have you learned about this threat? Well there is no doubt this threat is there ISIS will attempt to come at us from many directions. Now did you hear him

1:09:56 He uses ISIS. Yeah, but what he says... They're coming at us from every direction From everywhere and then he looks off camera goes oh yeah I mean they're there they're coming that listen to it again. It's like he jumped ahead Oh yeah i'm not supposed to say that just yet Just heard Deb's report I know National Counterterrorism Director Matthew Olson said today terrorists are targeting flights that Americans fly What have you learned about this threat? Well, there's no doubt this threat is there. ISIS will attempt to come at us from many directions and they have assets that Al Qaeda do not have. They have assets? Al-Qaeda really had just a small number of people who were capable of coming into the United States

1:10:39 ISIS has thousands who can come to the United States. And this is no one cares. They are convincing Washington, this is all in a vacuum. It's a total bubble and then this cute clip comes across the wire. This is book talk on C-SPAN from I think it's 1990 I'm talking about the Mossad. The guy wrote the book called... Oh yes, this is a good clip Every Spy a Prince and they're talking about how you address Mossad Tell us the story of how he tried to find out what the...

CHAPTER 22 / 50 Discussion

Jen Psaki, James Foley, International Coalition Propaganda

State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki described the killing of journalist James Foley as a "horrific terrorist act" that motivated the creation of an international coalition. The hosts argue that the video of Foley's death was manipulated and used as a "motivating factor" for a half-billion-dollar military spending bill. They express frustration at how quickly the media and government adopted the narrative.

jen psaki· james foley· act of war· international coalition· propaganda· state department

1:11:27 what they call the Mossad when they deal with publicly? I thought it was a reasonable question, but the trouble is you can't pick up the phone book. There's no Langley in Israel that you can look up CIA or in our case the Mossad we thought we should ask what shall we call it in English which could translate to Hebrew words as I said Mossada Institute but when they write a letter to their friends and the CIA or British intelligence what do they call themselves It took awhile uh... was a matter of asking the prime minister spokesman The best you could do because officially the Mossad is under the Prime Minister's office. And I think he sort of wondered why you want to know and all that, so we explained and he came up with the Israeli Secret Intelligence Service. If it were to have initials it would be ISIS. Yeah, yeah, I had that clip too... That-that's the only possibility for the ISIS ISIL dichotomy. Agreed

1:12:24 And media is using ISIS and the government's using ISIL. I still don't know what, you know, the basis for the dichotomy is but it's definitely there. And people are like, okay, please always because one says Syria we can't use Syria...and no that's not it. It has nothing to do with the word Syria versus Levant. It's something else. It's code! Here is Jen Psaki and she's being questioned by, I think Rosen from Fox. And she actually lets the propaganda truth slip out in her answer here. Go ahead Does the Obama administration consider this an act of war?

1:13:02 We certainly, I'm not going to put new labels on it James. I would say we certainly consider this act of this reported act the active the killing of James Foley as a horrific terrorist act that we certainly have Has helped or has not helped to I should say has been a one of the motivating factors in the effort we do undergo as a creation of an international coalition to address this threat. So, I'm watching the video Okay The sweetened video so this is of epic proportion and i'm just...I'm so

1:13:46 What is the flummoxed? Is that maybe the word? Good word. Flummoxed, yes I feel completely flummoxed that we saw this happen before our very eyes We took the time to look at each video We saw how the videos were claimed to be truthful and correct, and then the British press said well wait a minute doesn't look like it there was that got swept under the rug quickly. And then The president starts using it and now they're passing a half-a-billion dollar bill to give this money to some guys Just some guys Yeah we don't even know who these some guys are really? And...and..then MSNBC

CHAPTER 23 / 50 Discussion

John McCain vs. Martin Dempsey, Syria Strategy, Free Syrian Army

Senator John McCain clashed with General Martin Dempsey and Secretary Chuck Hagel over the U.S. strategy in Syria. McCain argued that the U.S. must neutralize Bashar al-Assad's air assets to protect the Free Syrian Army. Dempsey maintained an "ISIL-first" strategy, leading McCain to claim the administration fundamentally misunderstands the motivations of Syrian rebels.

john mccain· martin dempsey· chuck hagel· syria· free syrian army· bashar al-assad

1:14:28 Well, before you go I'm going to get back to this money floating around because I always thought that McCain...I have a couple of clips I want to get out of the way. Good. McCain has... Oh this was good with him and Dempsey yeah cool He has it in for Dempsey Well, because they're both short men and Dempsey is a little more leprechaun-y. And he just wants to step on the little man The reason is because Dempsey as we know from our sources Is the one who killed the bombing of Syria during that moment when they were supposedly gassing people and before we proved They weren't gasing people Because Dempsey's a smart guy

1:15:06 Stimson, well he's also a military man who knows that you don't want to just...you know he's actually anti-war. Yeah but that's because at the end of the day like most militaries are. Yes! He is a real military man exactly. He is still a leprechaun and has leprechaun features. Yeah well he definitely weird looking. But yeah McCain... It looks matter I'm telling ya it looks matter There was something there was some money involved in McCain could have scored big and for some reason It never happened. And so I have these two, and so he hates Dempsey and in fact has a number of times said he wants Dempsey fired. Yes! So McCain versus Dempsey round one would be a good clip. In his statement to the country... I take it from your answer that we are now recruiting these young men to go and fight in Syria

1:15:54 against ISIL, but if they're attacked by Bashar Assad we're not going to help them. They will defend themselves Senator Will we help them against Assad's heir? We will help them and support them as we have trained them How will we help them? Will we repel Bashar Assad's heir assets that would be attacking them Any attack on those that we've trained who are supporting us...We'll help em I guess, i'm not going to get an answer but... He gave him an answer! It seems.. No. I didn't really give him the right answer Okay so then he turns it to Dempsey That is Hagel obviously Yeah but he does it with a trick He asks Hagel something Hagel doesn't know and then he slams it right to Dempsey And Dempsey was ready for that To me you have to neutralize Bashar Assad's air assets if you are going to protect these people that we are arming and training and sending into fight

1:16:50 Is that an inaccurate general Dempsey? The coalition we're forming, Senator won't form unless if we were to take Assad off the table. We'd have a much more difficult time forming a coalition but I think what you're hearing us express is in ISIL first strategy. I don't think will find ourselves in that situation given what You don't think that the Free Syrian Army is going to fight against Bashar Assad, who has been decimating them? You think that these people you're training will only go back to fighting ISIS?

1:17:26 Do you really believe that, General? What I believe Senator is that as we train them and develop a military chain of command linked to a political structure that we can establish objectives that defer that challenge into the future. We do not have to deal with it now That's a fundamental misunderstanding of the entire concept and motivation of the Free Syrian Army It is Bashar Assad that has killed many more of them than ISIL has. And for us to say that we are going to go in and help, and train, and equip these people only to fight against ISIL... You're not gonna get many recruits to do that General. I guarantee you that! That's a fundamental fallacy in everything you are presenting this committee today.

CHAPTER 24 / 50 Discussion

Covert Training in Syria, Chlorine Gas, Bill Nelson

During a Senate hearing, Senator Bill Nelson questioned General Dempsey about published reports of "covert training" for Syrian rebels. Senator McCain interjected to discuss the use of chlorine gas and the humanitarian disaster in the region. The exchange highlighted the tension between public testimony and classified operations.

covert training· syria· chlorine gas· bill nelson· carl levin· national security

1:18:19 Yeah, not unimportant. I had a...I found an analysis of the situation if you want to break up your two clips you want oh yeah have a second one here? You wanna do I have a second one? I have a McCain versus Dempsey round 2 short 50 seconds. That's the one where McCain kind of makes the mistake attacking Dempsey on something that Dempsey was not, Dempsey could sidestep. You can play that one yeah General Secretary Hagel was the president right in 2012 when he overruled most of his national security team and refused to train him for the moderate opposition in Syria at that time? Senator I was not there at the time so I'm limited Well ask general Dempsey then He was here at the time

1:19:06 I'm sorry senator when you ask the question, I wasn't paying attention. President Wright in 2012 when he overruled He is Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State and Director the CIA and refused to train and equip the modern opposition forces in Syria which according your testimony we're doing today. Senator you know that I recommended that we train them and that you know for policy reasons the decision was taken another direction Thank You Right did you hear what Nelson asked McCain right after that? I have the Nelson clip Oh! I have the Nelson clip too

1:19:44 This is Nelson, this is one of those visual ones I was watching with Mimi. So you gotta watch this and it was Nelson asked this question and in the middle of it, McCain's response Carl Levin who's sitting next to Nelson gives him like a elbow and he comes over says don't ask this A-hole these sorts of questions because he's going to take up all your time! Yeah here it is. Senator McCain, you're aware that there were published reports of covert training. I love this! Wait a minute... Covert training? I thought we'd said what?! This guy's outing everybody. Yeah. Covert training.

1:20:34 I am aware of it and also aware of the scale of the training that was required. And i'm also aware this situation today, and i'm also where 192 thousand people have been slaughtered. Good try! bombs which are and the use of chlorine gas Which has caused a humanitarian? disaster of incredible proportions yes, I'm aware of that General Dempsey are you aware of the published reports of covert training Yeah, yeah And of course even I don't talk about that. You morons. I can't talk about covert anything dork found this show on RT

CHAPTER 25 / 50 Discussion

Middle East Policy Conundrum, Shiites vs. Sunnis, University of Oklahoma Scholar

A scholar from the University of Oklahoma, appearing on RT's "Crosstalk," explained the contradiction in U.S. Middle East policy. The U.S. supported Shiite dominance in Iraq while simultaneously aiding Sunni rebels against a Shiite-aligned government in Syria. This "conundrum" has led to the U.S. inadvertently supporting the same groups that are undermining its goals in Iraq.

shiites· sunnis· iraq· syria· anbar province· university of oklahoma

1:21:16 I think it's called crosstalk, which seems like they can't use that name but maybe it's cross talk RT or whatever It is yeah something and they have I like it because they have scholars on elites from different universities Yes, I've seen this show. It's pretty good good. It can be, yeah I like the host. The host is very funny he's very no agenda-ish actually some of the things that are entertaining and here is the Oklahoma University of Oklahoma scholar and he really explains exactly what the conundrum is with what the president is trying to do which seems to be an impossibility. The United States as you said in your beginning setup is making a classic mistake here which is that they have

1:21:58 catapulted the Shiites to the top of society in Iraq and they're trying to do something similar but opposite in Syria which is to put the Sunnis on the top of society. And we've been fighting the Sunnis in Anbar province and in Iraq, and were trying to aid the Sunni rebels against the Shiites in Syria so these two halves which have now conjoined don't fit together because in a sense were aiding the same rebels that have been undermining Iraq. So this is the conundrum for the United States policy right now." Yeah? But I think that was very well explained! Yeah, it is one of many problems... It's just about spending money the way I'm seeing it.

San Francisco Podcast Event, Host Travel, Social Media Criticism

The hosts plan to meet in San Francisco for a podcasting event, discussing potential dinner plans and their mutual dislike of food trucks. They address a listener's defense of Facebook, reiterating their stance that social media is a negative influence on society. The segment highlights the "value for value" model as the foundation for their upcoming Sunday show.

A number of people have been trying to name the disease that we've been talking about you know the one that is Ebola? No but with the one that is less healthy than cocaine the Facebook social media... We got a bunch of people complaining to us too! We had some guy wrote in and on very nasty note saying that you're a douchebag mainly I didn't receive this one did I get it wrong? Well I said it was me maybe just a bitch about you do you know same kind of thing yeah

1:35:41 So he says you're a douchebag because Facebook is the greatest thing that's ever happened. I don't remember this email Yeah, yeah He went on and on about it. He said she just be harsh And if it wasn't for Facebook, he's like from Tennessee or someplace to which I thought was peculiar fine and we oh yeah We use it to share Sharing is new sharing. Yeah, cuz I see I see something funny from a friend of mine on his sharing and I can share it All right You know, okay. All right. So a number of people, a surprising amount of people thought that Ibola, I-B-O-L-A... Yeah? ...that this is a great name. I don't think so. I don't think so either and then I retweeted that once and then I appreciate the guy put together a whole PDF about Ebola but it's

Eyeface Disease, Transhumanism, Smartphone Addiction

A listener suggests the term "Eyeface" to describe the glazed, slack-jawed expression of people addicted to smartphones. The discussion links gadget dependency to a "transhumanist" movement and the "singularity," where technology becomes an intermediate step in human evolution. The hosts debate whether the term has enough "ring" to become a regular part of their vocabulary.

Yeah, cuz I see I see something funny from a friend of mine on his sharing and I can share it All right You know, okay. All right. So a number of people, a surprising amount of people thought that Ibola, I-B-O-L-A... Yeah? ...that this is a great name. I don't think so. I don't think so either and then I retweeted that once and then I appreciate the guy put together a whole PDF about Ebola but it's

1:36:27 It's not funny. It doesn't really say anything, it's confusing with Ebola even though his definition of all the... Dr. McNamara No I think that the basis has an amusement factor but it is too confusing and people would be you know...it also semi-quasi sick. Dr. Justin Marchegiani And I received a number of the same recommendations for another name but was this email that I wanna share with you and you tell me maybe off base that sold on the idea Salutation citizens, listening to 651 and I agree completely that the social media and gadget nexus the world is experiencing is an international health crisis. I observe the smartphone transformation with dread and revulsion... ...and see now the possibility that these developments could be heralding a new kind of human."

1:37:13 These devices are very likely the intermediate step between traditional human social experience and what can only be called a transhuman experience. May I recom... What? I said, ugh! But I think it's true Yeah, the transhumanist is actually a movement. Yes! There's a bunch of transhumanists out there... I'd rather be a robot! It sounds like one guy that talks like a robot. Isn't this the solidarity? No what was it called? Singularity. Singularity, singularity, solidarity same thing. Might i recommend the term eye face as nickname for the disease My friend coined it, well believe me a lot of people coined it. I've been using it to great success It refers to the sort of typical slack-jawed glazed and trance ghoulish illuminated power that can be observed on victims regardless of age sex race or nationality You mention it like it's a cold or the mumps you say oh he's got the eye face or honey you've got the eye face again

1:38:08 I thought that kind of did it for me. I felt, yeah you don't like it? Let's do it from now on. No because if... It doesn't have a right to me as a product doesn't sound right. Doesn't have a ring to it all You've got the eye face or you have a case of eyeface Yeah thats how you would use it yes! I dont know. That why I brought up and if your not on board then meeting adjourned That would be that, yes. I mean there's been a lot of stuff come through none of it is just going wow that's it! Well that's what I want to hear. One of the symptoms I liked a lot

CHAPTER 29 / 50 Discussion

Phantom Vibration Syndrome, Apple iOS 8 Encryption, Tim Cook

"Phantom Vibration Syndrome" is identified as a psychological phenomenon where users mistakenly believe their phone is vibrating. In an interview with Charlie Rose, Apple CEO Tim Cook denied the existence of "back doors" to Apple servers. New guidelines for iOS 8 state that Apple no longer possesses encryption keys for pass-locked devices, making data extraction impossible for government agencies.

phantom vibration syndrome· apple· ios 8· encryption· tim cook· charlie rose

1:38:50 Which I have a clip from and this is not the name we're looking for but this is A great ver- This is a great example. You might think that those who use social media or constantly switch between work and websites are better at multitasking But studies have found that when comparing heavy media users to others they perform much worse during task switching tests Increased multitasking online reduces your brain's ability to filter out Interferences, And can even make it harder for your brain to commit information To memory like when your phone buzzes in the middle of productive work Wait did it even buzz phantom vibration syndrome is a relatively new psychological phenomenon where you think you felt your phone go off But it didn't Phantom vibration syndrome yeah, I've heard about that. I had it happen to me. I Had it too of course Everybody you know what does the thing vibrating particularly in the airport when you're walking through the airport? You think because you're doing something different you're walking differently

1:39:43 That's okay because Tim Cook spilled the beans, Tim Collins cooked Tom whatever his name is Steve cook on The Charlie Rose Show. Far exceeded the hobby label that we placed on it and we've added more and more con to it our content to it. You added more con believe me Yeah well thats what I think when they began part of this interview which I have a clip too I thought this was a better clip because it has...to me its just..I just don't believe it And this is Tim Cook on back doors Which, by the way is just funny. Just as a statement. Yes it's very funny for us in the Snowden thing just to go long on that for just a moment is what we wanted was we wanted instantly to be totally transparent

1:40:28 because there were rumors and things being written in the press that people had back doors to our servers. None of that is true, zero! We would never allow that to happen they would have to cart us out in a box Well, you saw the new terms were released for iOS 8. I'm sure you read that? No. You probably haven't okay no i haven't so they release the terms of obtaining information from apple if you're a government agency and very specific, it's the legal process guidelines. You know opening it up... It's in the show notes of course I put it there highlighted some stuff And what they say is as of iOS 8 There is no way everything on the device is encrypted Apple does not have the key and they can therefore not obtain any information on a locked device

1:41:23 If it's iOS 4, I think through 7 or 3 through 7 then there are a couple of things that they can get off the phone even if it is locked and that specified. That was the quote-unquote backdoor that people are referring to but specifically in this document which doesn't mean that this is true just words who knows what's really going on? They specifically state that Apple cannot, as of iOS 8, Apple cannot get into any pass-lock device. Apple will no longer be performing iOS data extractions and the data sought will be encrypted and Apple will not possess the encryption key." So he's trying to answer it. Yeah, that's not a bad thing... It is interesting I guess. We were talking earlier in this show and I want to play this clip because it's another example we had the police barracks

CHAPTER 30 / 50 Discussion

Waterworld Field Trip, Body Count Terminology, School Principal

A local news story about a student left behind at a "Waterworld" water park during a school field trip features a principal using the term "body count" to describe the attendance check. The hosts find the use of military-style terminology in a school setting to be a notable cultural shift. The student eventually had to call his mother for a ride after the buses departed without him.

waterworld· field trip· body count· principal· school bus· terminology

1:42:19 Tell me if you can spot the kind of military term used in a casual conversation here with some poor kid. This is a local news story, some poor kid was went to on a field trip and then they came back without him and nobody noticed And so the mom made a big fuss. The kid was- Mom noticed? That's good! Yeah, she noticed and the kid had to call her from the... She had to go all over this place and pick him up Everyone is very disappointed in the principal of course They were already going to change this or that But I just got a kick out of some usage thats in this clip This is the kid left behind on field trip When she came after a field trip and found he wasn't here I wonder if its another bus because since I saw so many

1:43:00 No bus and before I even think about it, he called me almost three o'clock And told me mom can you pick me up? The school had taken its seniors to Waterworld and conquered for senior kickoff day But when it was time to return Patrick missed the buses and no one noticed They should have done a body count before leaving. The school principal says the count was done Yeah That's good practice We need a body count Yeah That's very good. Let's just talk about Ebola for a moment I have an Ebola clip All right, but let's play your ebola clip and uh... Well here is an interesting thing you know that doctor came back this is one of those you know somebody just maybe I don't know maybe it was just me or maybe its the no agenda thinking or whatever yeah but I get the sense You're ruined The famous doctor came back he got cured and now he's sending all his soldiers so anyway he's back and he's discussing this is

CHAPTER 31 / 50 Discussion

Ebola Immunity, West Africa Oil, Combat Troops Invasion

An Ebola survivor's comments on immunity lead to a discussion about the strategic importance of West African oil. The hosts argue that the deployment of 3,000 "combat troops" to the region is actually an invasion disguised as a medical mission. They criticize President Obama's use of the word "science" to shut down debate and his warning not to "dawdle" on funding.

ebola· immunity· west africa· oil· combat troops· invasion

1:44:04 Just you might pick up on this. This is the Ebola guy Ebola strings query leads to anyway, I figured it out can an Ebola survivor become infected once again? No. Or are you immune then from Ebola? In theory and I think in practice, I am immune to the strain of Ebola that i was infected with but there are five different strains of Ebola so if I went to the Democratic Republic of Congo If I went to the Dominican Republic... Is that what he said? I thought it was a Democratic. No, he said the Dominican Republican. Well, no, but he may be going there. Well, I'm just thinking maybe there's a point you know we're dealing with this, on our show we've discussed the possibility of dropping this baby over in India. Not yet not yet. John, the 3 000 troops

1:45:02 Whoa, I mean just stop everything. That's more money we're committing than you know then to almost anything Well, I think is maybe the test of the vaccine You can stay with that that's fine. I Just want to point out that In the past three years all of the new oil has been found in Western Africa and And I'm telling you when you send combat troops over... Combat troops, I know it's hilarious. This is combat troops! Yeah we have a bunch of people that... No this is not... God has brought them with oil We are invading on the ground

1:45:43 On our terms, this is an invasion. Here's the president with another fabulous word... It's not a mystery we know the science Oh I'm sorry We know the science of Ebola Shut up already it's science! Shut up already it's science! Shut up already it's science! The Dr Kiki disease is spreading We know how to prevent it from spreading We know how to care for those who contract it We know that if we take the proper steps we can save lives But we have to act fast. Oh, we can't dawdle on this one don't dawdle This is a good word I like dawdle Which is yeah? And it may be the first time he and it maybe implies that we dawdle on things You don't say that we shouldn't dawdle on this one unless it's obvious if we've been doddled Yeah So this means push the money through whatever has to happen Don't dog you have to move with force and make sure that We are

1:46:40 catching this as best we can given that it is already broken out in ways that we have not seen before. Okay, so this is all lies I'm sorry this is lies They're talking about, I see kids with signs in Africa. They might go airborne! It's just all lies it's all fear mongering are there people dead? Yeah i guess...I would love to see thousands of dead people from Ebola but I've yet to see those pictures. Okay, I'll believe it that we're now invading Western Africa with combat troops where all the oil is and I'm sure regime change is coming and if you were wondering about

1:47:19 About the troops were sending to I'm sorry. Mm-hmm the advisors were sending in a non combat role into Iraq and the Levant if you wonder if they're the top priority no, they're not really the top priority Well Jeff the president's visit to the CDC tomorrow underscores just how extraordinarily Serious the administration believes this issue is the president has identified it as a top national security priority top nationals a Again, the A thing John. A top priority. And he looks forward to receiving an update from the experts at the CDC about the success of their efforts so far in trying to confront this problem

CHAPTER 32 / 50 Discussion

CDC Ebola Deployment, American Enterprise Institute, Aerosol Mutation

The CDC has deployed its largest-ever team to West Africa, while the Pentagon reallocates $500 million to the effort. Scott Gottlieb of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) predicts that Ebola cases will inevitably arrive at U.S. hospitals in Queens and other regions. Concerns are raised about the virus potentially mutating to become "aerosolized," which would drastically change its transmission mode.

1:46:40 catching this as best we can given that it is already broken out in ways that we have not seen before. Okay, so this is all lies I'm sorry this is lies They're talking about, I see kids with signs in Africa. They might go airborne! It's just all lies it's all fear mongering are there people dead? Yeah i guess...I would love to see thousands of dead people from Ebola but I've yet to see those pictures. Okay, I'll believe it that we're now invading Western Africa with combat troops where all the oil is and I'm sure regime change is coming and if you were wondering about

A top priority. And he looks forward to receiving an update from the experts at the CDC about the success of their efforts so far in trying to confront this problem

1:48:02 As you know, this is one of the worst if not the worst outbreak Ebola that we've ever seen. The CDC has responded commensurate with the seriousness to this situation they have already deployed a number personnel to the region I think it's about 100 of its workers to the regions This if not the largest among the largest deployments of CDC personnel ever The administration has already committed more than $100 million to address the Ebola outbreak. And this has taken a variety of forms, but includes commitments from USAID and CDC to try and meet some of these needs. We've also seen the Department of Defense step forward

1:48:46 And make some commitments as it relates to the expertise they have when it comes to killing people logistics This is all part of a whole government approach that the president's gonna be the Army Corps of Engineers who obviously do logistics but this guy and There was a conversation. This is Scott Gottlieb I'd never heard this guy before but he is from the American Enterprise Institute famous famous famous I would have to say this is a neocon outfit. Would you not it's coke brothers? It's oh, it's even worse It's the coke brothers there you go And he comes on and he talks about this ebola thing like they've got it all figured out well look at prudent Yeah, I'm just whenever a guy starts like that yeah, well look it's prudent

1:49:37 That you might as well just say, everyone here shut up. I'm talking now Well look it's prudent The first cases are going to show up in the US and hospitals that probably see a lot of people coming over from the region From the affected regions so hospitals like Elmhurst and Queens I would suspect they're on alert right now And it's prudent to forward deploy some resources and make those doctors aware of the signs or symptoms of infection This is a guy from a think tank Who's to say, oh it was clearly going to be showing up here. They are cranking this up John to some extreme level and I really...I know that you're saying testing on the troops for the vaccine but what a waste of a perfectly good crisis no no you gotta send you gotta take over these countries Scott you said that though as if it's given the first cases are going to arrive at these hospitals You're assuming it will arrive on our shores? I think everyone now assumes we're gonna see some cases here I think we could even see some isolated clusters or infections some small outbreaks

1:50:29 Clusters of infections, small outbreaks. Maybe close contacts family members of the affected individuals who come over I think you know we feel confident here that we can contain it assuming that the virus itself doesn't migrate and change how it spreads Change how it spreads like that. I don't like the sounds of that they're talking This is weaponizing it into aerosol isn't yeah once it goes aerosol We're screwed, but isn't that the the centrifuge you got to put the guy in the center views who has the above? Well if you can't I think the idea of centrifuges some getting all this sweater whatever it is you sap just put a stab you let me zap the guy

CNBC Ebola Coverage, China EU Contributions, Body Bags

CNBC reports that the U.S. is ramping up its response in Monrovia, Liberia, including sending 5,000 body bags to the region. While China and the EU have committed millions in resources, the hosts remain skeptical of where the money is actually going. They dismiss the "aerosol mutation" narrative as fear-mongering designed to leverage public anxiety for political and financial gain.

cnbc· ebola· china· european union· body bags· monrovia

1:51:05 You know, you eviscerate him and then take all his bodily fluids and then you put it in one of those crop dusters. And you just spray it over San Francisco and everybody gets Ebola! That would work. I'm visiting. Mary, do you have any intel? That's really the concern is does this mutate and change into more easily transmitted... This is CNBC by the way they're talking to the financial markets with this bull crap. It's missable right now in the US... What?! Yeah they have too! The government really is emphasizing that this is not a risk for the U.S., but what's expected later today from President Obama when he goes to visit CDC is expected to ramp up efforts in West Africa They are getting military involved now. They are going send as many as 3 thousand

1:51:52 to West Africa, to set up joint command there from Monrovia Liberia. So they're really really drastically trying to ramp-up the US response. Are these military doctors they're sending or just... They'll be doctors, they'll be engineers folks trying to be on the ground to set up these efforts and... Folks? This is a total lie you know nothing... Just making it up! Totally oh they'd be doctors engineers nurses Radar Mash Hospital. Oh, she's the resident doctor for CNBC whoever they string or whatever they call. It's ridiculous! 2400 so they're expecting to get worse Excuse my ignorance on all of this guys but just look at a calendar are we a little late here? This has been going on for six weeks if not more Yeah it's a huge criticism Right well we are late and but this is clearly a robust response I think that one thing which should be concerned about is the response is very much focused on Liberia At this point we should be treating the entire region in Western Africa as one big...

1:52:53 That's how you do it. One big region zone, the virus itself isn't going to respect national boundaries so we need to be pulsing resources into other nations there as well. Pulsing resources into other nations is where this guy that's the AEI guy that's a think tank thing resources I think he said pulsing didn't he? Yeah i think so listen to it again So when these guys say this the AEI they've got 45 million dollars just sitting in the bank This is a non-profit think tank people These people, they're movers and shakers who are part of this outfit. You should google them John just to look at it again No I'm very familiar with them Brown to set up these efforts and they're also sending you know folks to train burial teams They've sent 5,000 body bags for the WHO right now The death toll is about 2400 so they're expecting Excuse my ignorance on all this guys but just look at a calendar Are we little late here? This has been going on for

1:53:45 for six weeks if not more. Yeah, it's a huge criticism right? Well we are late and but this is clearly a robust response I think the one thing which be concerned about as the responses very much focused on Liberia at this point we should be treating the entire region in Western Africa is one big hot zone The virus itself isn't going to respect national boundaries so we need to be pulsing resources into other nations there as well. So we're gonna be sending our troops there or troops of some sort there It doesn't appear that the US troops are gonna be involved trying to enforce any kind of quarantine these really seem like medical resources Why would it become airborne? And why... How old, this virus has been around forever. Right. Why would it all of a sudden become airborne? Well because we need to leverage! Well its sloppy in how it reproduces so it creates an excessive number of mutations and people have very high viral counts So when- This guy has a lot of information

1:54:34 Yeah, it sounds like bullcrap too. They have not been able to if they got this thing to go airborne which should take a lot of work yeah, but it creates mutations much in the same way AIDS does and Can you take your way out? And it could mutate itself into becoming airborne somehow. And then Africa's done." The American Enterprise Institute was governed by a board of trustees composed of, then there's Tully Friedman he is the CEO from Alar, Daniel Daniello vice chairman and co-founder of the Carlyle Group that would do it let see oh the Honorable Dick Cheney has on advisory board these are the guys you know

1:55:15 These are the people who, you know Yale Law School. These are the Yalies too this is a lot of insider douchebags who make stuff happen and have a huge benefit to the companies they represent in other boards To have access to whatever we can get in West Africa person gets infected they have a lot of errant sort of viral reproductions so it's going to migrate and it is mutating and migrating. It would be very unusual for virus to mutate in the way that changes its mode of transmission people are clearly concerned about that here though just by

1:55:52 because of the scope of the infection you're going to see a lot of migration. So we're gonna spend 88 million dollars that's the number the president... We've already spent 175 million he wants add another eighty eight million and the Pentagon wants reallocate 500 million Are any other countries doing anything else like this? They are, I think it is given 180 million or something like that just this morning WHO was commending China sending some resources but... Now sorry China This is not your game Go away China man $180 million from the EU for what? All I see is guys in yellow rain suits with you Vex ski goggles. Where's the money going? I don't know come on Bullshit strange yeah, it's bull it's bull and you don't have to be worried about anyone being Centrifuged and getting sick from this is this is it's just more of the legal propaganda It's legal now now they're just going all out they don't care

Jack Webb, Dragnet Radio Rant, Harpsichord Reference

A classic clip from the television show "Dragnet" features Jack Webb delivering a rapid-fire rant about a liquor store robbery. The hosts admire Webb's background in radio and his unique ability to speak quickly while remaining perfectly understandable. The segment concludes with Webb's iconic dismissal of a suspect, telling him to return to his "harpsichord."

Joni Ernst Hog Castration Ad, Charlie Rose, Starbucks Native Advertising

Iowa Senate candidate Joni Ernst gained national attention for a campaign ad featuring her experience castrating hogs. Meanwhile, Charlie Rose is criticized for running what appears to be "native advertising" for Starbucks' new "Frappuccino Mini" as a news item. The hosts argue that major news networks are increasingly selling out their segments to corporate interests.

1:59:12 He had a way you got it. That's the first time ever well, but didn't I you'd talk in my culture? I'm a child of television. I thought you were a at your long Born way after dragging it yeah But they were still on repeats when I was five pretty sure it was repeating Yeah, I'm pretty sure anyway yet dragging it all right well that is commercial we have a Senate race in Iowa and And this is the woman, Joni Ernst and her commercial that's got a lot of attention. I'm Joni Ernst. I grew up castrating hogs on an Iowa farm so when i get to Washington I'll know how to cut pork. Good! Glad you gave that to us really needed that now it was necessary yeah absolutely

2:00:09 Okay, well if you keep stalling I got another one Charlie right now. I was watching your truck. I'm trying to seg into something that works But you're clearly off the wall Rose is running these You know he has to run his regular show and then he has to get up at 4 in the morning to do that CBS crap with jail looks like death warmed over. It's a it's just doing the morning show itself is tough, let alone then do his show and does he also... what does on Bloomberg? Is that a repeat or is it the same show? That's his show that they just run it on Bloomberg but it's the same show

2:00:45 So he does that, which is an hour of interviewing people who need some prep. And then he has to get up at four in the morning to do this stupid show. He reads right off the prompter what I consider to be one of the stupidest native advertising campaigns it has to be—I can see no other reason to run this Starbucks commercial as a news item. Or the bus! USA Today says Starbucks is testing a Frappuccino Mini, it is a 10 ounce version of famous blend of coffee milk and ice that comes in many flavors the mini cost about 30 cents less than a 12-ounce and has fewer calories customers in Houston and Denver are testing the new size if they like it Starbucks could expand the mini to other markets And heads up

2:01:31 Well, of course it's an ad. Normally around this time of year it's the pumpkin lattes are in! Whoa everybody let's look at this clip this little package The Pumpkin Latte I was disgusted by that by the way Here's Charlie Rose Yeah thats horrible He posted whatever and he does this sort of thing And to me it was like wow why don't you just sell out your family Like Elgum? Uh, one more. No! No I know...I have to stop you now. I can keep going. Naomi Klein Oh, I hate Naomi Klein You love Naomi Klein? No I don't no not at all Yeah Why do you put that on me? It's because i've heard you talk about her all the time and always have this kind of a sound in your voice What?! Let me take a look at her again

CHAPTER 36 / 50 Discussion

Naomi Klein, Climate Change, Leonardo DiCaprio UN Appointment

Author Naomi Klein's new book, "This Changes Everything," argues that addressing the climate crisis requires breaking free-market rules. Leonardo DiCaprio has been appointed as a UN "Messenger of Peace" for climate issues, a move seen as a slight to George Clooney. Klein claims fossil fuel companies intend to extract five times more carbon than the atmosphere can safely absorb.

2:02:27 Let me see, maybe there's something else. Maybe I'm missing something... Oh yeah! Well, I see what you're saying Yeah well she has something very attractive But at the same time, super annoying. Ah Yes Which I think is now she wrote no logo which was heralded as a groundbreaking book Then the shock doctrine which i thought was okay it certainly explained A lot of how things work yeah and Now She's back with um...I can't recall what Is the name Of Her new Book? I have No Idea It's uh something about Changing this Changes Everything Capitalism

2:03:06 versus the climate. Oh no! Yeah, you really have to listen to this and particularly because I'm really sorry but the science at this point really goes against what everyone is saying and more mainstream are saying, well the models have been wrong so far. And we have had a pause in the warming and you know but there is a faction which includes Naomi Klein whose book is timed poorly with climate not cooperating who just

2:03:45 We have the Dutch saying, boord voor je koop. They're the denialists? Yes they are now in fact the denialists and the problem is all of this was perfectly timed we have Leonardo DiCaprio accepting his new United Nations perch he has become the messenger of peace he has. Leonardo DiCaprio's been tapped by the United Nations to be honored with the title of messenger of peace. And there's any connection between DiCaprio getting that position and, and the marginalization of Clooney including the marriage? Absolutely! Oh yeah, they're buddies slash rivals in general oh yeah this is a slap it's a slap across the face. I think Clooney stopped playing ball Yeah well have you looked at her she's not ball playing right now We've discussed this woman

2:04:42 So, he has asked the actor to speak at the September 23rd climate summit which is a disaster. Everyone is canceling! This is horrible. Merkel's not coming... No one's coming to this thing! Everybody is bowing out and then they try and pull in like a celebrity and they bring Leonardo in. Here I have the list of who's in and who's out, it is an embarrassment! And this is the thing that Al Gore was talking about when he was on the dais with Bunky Moon we played those clips for some reason there was something funny that Bunky said then as well...I can't remember what it was but it was like, ah on the 23rd of September big climate conference okay here we have

2:05:31 Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott can't make it, sorry. And Australia is important in this! Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have indicated they probably won't attend the summit Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has indicated he will not be attending Angela Merkel president of Uber Green Germany will not be attending the UN climate summit Of course, Al Gore will be there. I guarantee you Al Gore is going to be at the summit and Leonardo DiCaprio and Naomi Klein who now i indeed agree is a denialist. The fact is if we're gonna respond to this crisis We need to break a whole bunch of the free market rules that these guys hold very dear These guys...I can only guess she means

2:06:19 I'm not a free market crazy, you know Okay these guys we need to regulate We need to get in the way of the fossil fuel companies who have made it clear that they're willing to dig up five times more Carbon than our atmosphere can absorb and still have you heard this statistic? No The carbon the fossil fuel guys are who are willing to dig up five times more carbon than our atmosphere can handle. I have not found this, uh... But it's a, I think this one has got legs if she keeps propagating. It's an interesting... I wonder where that came from? We'll figure it out. ...willing to dig up five times more carbon than our atmosphere can absorb and still stay below catastrophic warming we need to invest heavily in the public sphere Get ready for you're gonna love, you're gonna love If we invest heavily in this, if we just spend the money John what will the result be

2:07:20 Utopia? We need to do that to protect ourselves from storms like Sandy, but also to lower our emissions so we don't have more and more such extreme storms. Now I think...I admit that I think that's good news! I think it'll create jobs, I think it will create more livable cities, I think we'll have cleaner air, I think we'll have stronger communities if we respond to this crisis seriously but I can understand why from a... I think unicorns might fly through the sky. Hardcore free market conservative perspective, if you live at the Cato Institute and the American Enterprise Institute this would feel like the end of the world It's not the end of the world it's the end of their world This is very sad This is just sad Wow she's a lunatic

CHAPTER 37 / 50 Discussion

Amy Goodman, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Wikipedia Editing

Amy Goodman is criticized for her op-eds on the climate crisis, which the hosts claim ignore scientific data in favor of political narratives. Neil deGrasse Tyson is accused of using fabricated quotes in his public speeches to make political opponents look foolish. Wikipedia editors are reportedly removing "contrarian" information regarding global warming and Tyson's inaccuracies to protect their preferred narratives.

amy guman· neil degrasse tyson· wikipedia· global warming· fabricated quotes· ipcc

2:08:08 Yeah, I mean over the years you know i've come to really kind of dislike her. She has a nice you know kind of an amenable look and style that you'd think oh she must be reasonable but she's just...I don't what it is. Amy Goodman your buddy on Truthdig she wrote this whole...just another person who is, and it's an op-ed. She doesn't really come across as a journalist anymore. My buddy! Yeah the climate crisis is worsening faster than predicted by every scientific measure and is paralleled by another crisis the failure of the UN Climate Negotiation process that's quite an opening statement It's wild yeah And in the facts just state differently

2:08:57 That is the problem. It's very strange that this is going on to this extreme at this point in the debate, which should be actually dying down but it's not because these guys insist they're all-in on this and it's beyond them to think that maybe this is not what's going on. Yeah... And then they live in his crazy dream world! actually think that when someone says, hey here's what's really going on. And if you read the IPCC report which is very complicated to read but it's a political document not scientific document It talks about the ranking system pretty much confident we think so little bit kinda there all this kind of language in there and anything else is clearly Koch brothers funded propaganda like this very podcast as you know The Limo is coming in a moment

2:09:54 Hmm and that's you know, so people like Amy Goodman. They I think they just shut it off They shut off all other anything else for reasons like Neil deGrasse Tyson This is very interesting He, the Wikipedia Nazis are cleaning up his... he has a lot of flubs that he or make-up made up things. Fabricated quotes that's what I'm looking for and he does them in his speeches. The guy probably makes 10 15 grand just for speech could be more actually at this point. Ah, he probably has $25,000. 25 grand? Yeah. But goes around with his laptop then he believes and he has quotes

2:10:34 you know, like a senator says I've flipped 360 degrees. You know he's trying to make people look stupid but then there is no one actually that you can attribute that quote too. You see this is the problem. One of those deals? Yeah exactly! I like it, its very creative. Yeah so... For the audience of the stupid. Yeah So here is another slide half the schools in the district are below average And of course that's hilarious, you know when you're sitting in a room full of highly educated Obama bot elites. What moron Republican said that? And you actually can't find anybody who said that not a single person so he's making this up and then he says well... Never ridiculing it! Yeah but I embellish this and then that's being put on Wikipedia and then people are deleting that because they don't believe that one of their heroes could be human

2:11:34 What a fallacy. Oh, you mean people are busting him for these fake quotes and then the Wikipedia police are taking the busting him out? Correct. Ah! Sad isn't it? Well the global warming thing was noticeably... The Wikipedia folks especially most of the people that are behind it they somewhere along the line they will not let any contrarian information that's Says global warming is not occurring the way it's occurring with this with the responsibility of the humans as it were All that gets pulled from the Wikipedia. Yes people complained about this bitterly people from you know legitimate like I think our report on which we should probably package and run again on The 97% have everybody agrees yeah, which is commonly quoted Should probably be turned to I hope are

CHAPTER 38 / 50 Discussion

Dutch Tomato Scam, Siemens Tomato Fight, Hunger Winter History

Dutch farmers are allegedly bypassing Russian export bans by labeling their tomatoes as Turkish products while still collecting EU subsidies. In Amsterdam, a "tomato fight" protest sponsored by Siemens was held to criticize Russian sanctions. The hosts find the waste of food abhorrent, referencing the historical "Hunger Winter" in the Netherlands when food was scarce.

netherlands· russia· tomatoes· siemens· hunger winter· subsidies

2:12:28 No agenda CD guys has done that for us. Aren't we going to write the article? Yes, when the power comes back on their powers back on and we have full power. Well I sent you them at the last bit of analysis you received that with someone did actual numbers because part of it is there's like a it was a statistical exercise didn't have to resend it to you. You're not yeah It's nothing's firing well you noticed but maybe you did now Russia for a moment. Something very troubling happened in the Netherlands, and I'm sad that I wasn't there to get more on-the-ground local reporting... You will recall the story that I heard first hand regarding the tomatoes that could no longer be exported to Russia from The Netherlands. And there was one piece I believe I forgot to add to this —I didn't go back and listen—

2:13:24 But many farmers are receiving extra subsidy to compensate for the block on exporting to Russia. The tomato guys are not only receiving the EU, mind you which is money that comes from the magic man... is subsidizing these farmers while at the same time they are shipping their tomatoes to Turkey, putting a Turkish... like a grown in Turkey sticker on them and then they're flowing right into Russia anyway. Total scam! Yeah yeah total scam And don't do that to me you can't do that to me. Total scam. Now they have this big tomato fight in Amsterdam

2:14:19 to protest the Russian sanctions. So, the tomato farmers brought this 1,000...or they sold a thousand tomato throwing tickets and they took these trucks just to some square in Amsterdam emptied them all out and people were throwing tomatoes at each other. There's a place in Spain that does this routinely for decades. Right? So there are couple of problems one it was sponsored by Siemens Well, that's odd. Yes they sponsor it was sponsored by the Siemens washing machine So there are people running around in Siemens t-shirts and Siemens is all happy on the social media Oh this will come right out in our washing machine. Oh Not necessarily no But that this is happening so they've been paid

2:15:08 They're selling the majority anyway, and then they're going and having this screw Russia we hate you throw tomatoes at each other. And the color of blood and Putin it's just not okay. Throwing food like that is I find abhorrent regardless. I have a problem with that doesn't bother you? Food fights? It always bothered me. No it never bothered me. People in Netherlands when you grow up in the Netherlands and you grow up with The Hunger Winter as your history Okay, when people ate rocks No, I'm sorry not rocks. They had soup they eat raw put nettle nettles in and rocks into boiling water And that was their food so with the Rocks provide there's something about putting those flavor Flavor a pure flavor. I don't know well. I want to do one more day. I got a clip here

CHAPTER 39 / 50 Discussion

Uber Veteran Initiative, Robert Gates, Taxi Industry Disruption

Uber has partnered with "Hiring Our Heroes" to recruit 50,000 military veterans, led by an advisory board chaired by former Defense Secretary Robert Gates. The hosts express skepticism about the involvement of high-level military brass in a ride-sharing company. While they agree the taxi industry needs disruption, they find the "military-industrial" connection to Uber suspicious.

uber· robert gates· veterans· taxi industry· disruption· hiring our heroes

2:16:06 This one has a punchline. You know, sometimes we think of as we do this show...you could be on the other side of the good and I just want to see if there's a name that's dropped in this Uber story because it clips are long but But apparently Uber has decided to partner with, you know the military. Again a bunch of veterans that drive the little cars around or the cars... The uber cars which are, you know it is very this whole uber thing we need to explore at some point. I don't take them i have uh some fundamental thing is telling me not to do it. I'm not sure why yet well I don't know either whatever that I haven't taken one but

2:16:47 bigot about it. I would take one if i need to take something." Whatever the case is, tell me you don't find a peculiar name that crops up in this report just a little sketchy. "...is still higher than 20 percent! That's three times the national average!" Well Uber is hoping to change that and its now enlisting some top military brass to help the company with its initiative So shit, get something here. It's Travis Groff's first month as a driver for Uber the 31 year old military veteran spent seven years in the Air Force and was deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan when he got out in September 2008 He says finding the right job was tough

2:17:30 I think veterans are well suited for this type of work because we're service-based anyways too and we're offering a service to someone. We're helping them get from point A to point B so it's kind of mission oriented." Uber now wants to bring on 50,000 more veterans just like Groft by teaming up with Hiring Our Heroes, a nonprofit veterans service organization. The idea isn't just to give veterans jobs but to help Uber hire more quality drivers the company's CEO Travis Kalanick. The veterans that are already on the system provides such such a high quality experience and they just have a better work ethic, and they're out there doing more trips than the average partner. You've looked at the data? Oh yeah! We already have thousands of vets on the system today He says Uber will take less commission from veterans and help them buy cars at better interest rates The company is beefing up its pitch to veterans with an all-star volunteer military advisory board chaired by former Defense Secretary Robert Gates

2:18:34 Hello, Mr. Gates! Isn't he busy investigating the NFL? He has time for Uber in his busy day? I don't know if he's investigating the NFL too... Yes! Gates?! Umm..I'm sorry Mueller is investigating the NFL. Yeah that's different. Mueller is the Facebook guy. Gates is- I'm sorry you're right. You're right. It's like this is a form of corruption. Ya think?? plenty of reason not to use these guys. Well, it's definitely the guy you want if you want to get, when the government starts cracking down on the... You don't have insurance? You don't do this? You're not like a cab and you don't have license about... We'll fix that for ya. I don't understand the... Cabs are crap! I totally agree

2:19:25 I'm just not totally all on board with the Uber thing. I don't know, this is...I'm not sure what's wrong, what feels wrong about it to me." Well that's the future. It's not going anywhere. No, yeah it's the future. I agree. I agree. Yeah there's no doubt about that. It's not working in that well in The Netherlands, I understand Well, it's working pretty well. You know, the Americans go for this stuff a lot more than the Europeans I don't think it'll never work in France because they will not let it happen. The French are tough They don't put up with this kind of crap, but you know. In the Netherlands I think it's because the cab drivers had already organized themselves we've talked about this with cell phones and text messaging and they were so much more advanced okay? And that's really the only advantage that Uber has is just you get something you know where the guy is he shows up it just seems to work if cabs actually worked then it would be okay

2:20:23 But you know, so yeah the business needs to be disrupted just like we've disrupted radio Just like we've disrupted the more units More money for more units national public radio We've disrupted them by taking away their lunch money milk money maybe four pennies a couple of cents Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah It's weird doing the show so late. Yes, well also be yes yeah it's very weird

CHAPTER 40 / 50 Discussion

Final Donor Credits, Layaway Program, International Support

The hosts conclude the show with a final round of donor acknowledgments, noting a high number of contributions from the UK, likely due to interest in the Scottish independence vote. Donors from Sweden, New Zealand, and Canada are also recognized. The "layaway program" for smaller, regular donations is highlighted as a key part of the show's financial stability.

I watched the Miss America pageant This is very important for people who are new to the program and everyone overseas

CHAPTER 42 / 50 Discussion

Miss America 2015, Kira Kazantsev, Cup Song Talent

Kira Kazantsev, representing New York but originally from Walnut Creek, California, won the Miss America 2015 pageant. Her talent performance involved playing a plastic cup while singing, a trend popularized on YouTube. The hosts note a shift in the pageant's production style, describing it as more "Miss World" in its focus on high-quality visuals and "hot" contestants.

miss america· kira kazantsev· miss new york· cup song· beauty pageant· walnut creek

2:30:59 Whenever there is a beauty pageant, John jumps on the grenade watches that for the team reports back. Yes as we analyze these contests Which, I'm still amazed that the feminists of the world allow this to happen. This pure... just putting women up as pretty objects that well it's just one where they can do boob implants and stuff is that? No this is Miss America! This is the one where they have to be honest and they have talent One of them was a ventriloquist and it was quite funny One of them was an opera singer, Miss Virginia She got in the top five The winner was Miss New York City Again right isn't that a third in a row

2:31:39 this miss new york though is from uh... let's see i could go over there in fifteen minutes walnut creek california he's not from new york at all she's a local girl she's got california inner in her blood just miss california she should have been but she was missing obviously she did some singing and so she uh... broadway issue off-broadway well it is a broadway style singer only sings a little like a rethink. She thinks like, like a black girl has a very I like her singing. I thought it was very good but she came right after a very an excellent performance from Virginia who did an operatic thing and then this girl comes out she sits down on the stage with a cup and plays the cup while singing. This is like a YouTube video! It's very much what these kids do these girls on YouTube do that cup thing while they're saying he's doing the cup thing and parents are in the audience with a cup... And that one?

2:32:34 Yes, it did. I have her sing and as Kira's singing you should just listen to a few...just a couple notes she actually has a very pleasant voice and that was..and she's very charming as a singer because she mugs in a very flirtatious way when she's singing you'd have to see that. She sounds great! I would have shot myself right here like just shoot me. Oh John's very black a very Arisa What did Simon Cowell think of her

2:33:32 How about Howard Stern? What did he think of her? She sounded very black and she's a blondie that's a real cutie. She looks like a cheerleader. I need to... Well, anyway she won the whole thing but Can i ask you question? Do you still have to be hot to win this or is that not necessary? They're all hot! This is what I want to talk about. Alright. This competition has changed drastically Oh And at the very end, they had it was like what are we looking at here? Two blondes first and second standing there holding hands waiting to see who wins. They're both hot blonds. The swimsuit thing was out of control all the girls were pretty it was a it was like somebody took over somebody came in and said look

2:34:14 We gotta change our image here. And they brought all these... It was like, it was ridiculous! I mean it was Miss World style. So that took me aback The second thing that got my attention- Who produced this thing? Who produced the television event? But it was well produced It was an extreme change. I was stunned because usually with Miss America, I'm always going to get it picked the wrong girl they did this screw up it should be this no this girl is gonna be a great she's gonna be what but you can see that she's this is a stepping stone for her to be on television as an anchor woman or something or a Broadway star, who knows? It's beside the point. But what was interesting were the questions at the end to give... This was the biggest crock ever! For one thing, the questions were all contemporary question that I don't care what anybody says these answers were rehearsed and they each had a 20 second clock. Wait a minute

CHAPTER 43 / 50 Discussion

Miss America Rigged Questions, Second Amendment, Ray Rice

The final question segment of Miss America is criticized as being "rigged" and rehearsed, with contestants given 20-second clocks for their answers. Questions covered controversial topics like gun control for children and the Ray Rice domestic violence incident. The hosts argue that the contestants' "platforms" are conveniently matched to their assigned questions.

miss america· second amendment· ray rice· domestic violence· kathy ireland· platform

2:35:09 You're telling me this is rigged? They had a 20 second clock, so they had to give their answers within the 20 seconds. So this thing went really fast nobody really screwed it up. One girl I think made a little mistake but some examples here these are pretty quick This is one of...this is the best one I'm just gonna play at first. Can I...I just need to interject for one moment The final competition, the score is based upon 20% lifestyle and fitness in swimsuit. Evening wear is 20%. Talent is 30%.

2:35:50 And the composite score, whatever that is, is 30%. And then I guess the top...the onstage question is what would...there's no real percentage as to how much that's worth. Well it's not worth anything. Makes sense! There was nothing to it there were all crap questions they're all about current events in fact let's start with question number one for Miss Arkansas tell me this is like just makes your stomach turn. The first question goes to Miss Arkansas. Ashton Campbell, come on over. You're gonna groan. I'm sure. This next question will come from Sean Johnson Who's Sean Johnson? I don't know

2:36:43 Three weeks ago, a nine-year old accidentally killed her shooting instructor while firing a military machine gun. Should there be any limits on the use of guns by children? Yeah... Okay. She's going to have to say I believe in the Second Amendment. Oh you got it nailed! This is a rehearsed perfect answer. Although i believe in the Second Amendment, I think we do need to have responsibilities that are I'm looking for the Shawn girl. Absolutely, it's important to protect our Second Amendment rights to bear arms and that is a right we have as Americans however there needs to be restrictions especially for children Children don't need to know what it feels like to hold a gun of that caliber I'm sorry an Uzi is very small caliber It has very little kick This is not a shotgun this was an unsafe situation That's what it was And they especially don't need to... Sorry

2:37:45 put into a situation where they get in another person's life because of that carelessness. Oh man, she flubbed it! She was reading the prompter! She flubbed the prompter! It's on the prompter! Must be... She says I'm sorry and then she picks it up Come on That was a read These are all reads Go to number two Who is number 2? Florida Okay, I'll see if I can answer the question Number 2 of 5 goes to Miss Florida Victoria Cohen a Jew is an older son. We have it wasn't no she was another blonde Victoria's question will come from Kathy Ireland Kathy, Ireland we were all rocked by the video of football star Ray Rice punching his wife Janay She's standing by him

2:38:40 As a woman, what do you think of her decision? Okay. Actually I like this new segment of the show This will be because now these things are so rigged this will be the no agenda answers to these questions go okay Well, I believe in the Second Amendment Okay, let me just back it up just some get the whole picture name She's standing by him As a woman, what do you think of her decision? I feel that there is never any room for physical violence in any relationship But I also believe in the sanctity of marriage and standing by your man Okay. No, I would say that was That would not be it's close but not not right

2:39:28 I don't agree with it. My platform is one chance, one choice and I talk all about... Oh she had a platform! Hey come on this is bogus! I didn't know she had the platform! Totally bogus She had a platform and got the platform question! Right decisions And I don't feel that he did that What's the name of her platform? This is pissing me off Yeah yeah I want to hear it hold on I agree with it my platform is one chance one choice about the right decision. I don't feel that he did that and i don't necessarily believe that he deserves a second chance." Okay so what I would have said if I was Miss Florida, first of all I would have said bitches look at me! That's what I would have said for Kathy Ireland remember when you were like me? And then I would say

Military Sexual Assault, Miss New York Answer, Weakness Words

Miss New York Kira Kazantsev answered a question about female leadership in the Senate by focusing on sexual assault in the military. The hosts criticize her delivery and her use of the word "essentially," which they label a "weakness word." Despite their critique of her answer, Kazantsev ultimately won the competition.

sexual assault· military· miss new york· kira kazantsev· essentially· constituent

2:40:15 Cold cock that mofo and throw him in jail is what I would say Okay, the reasonable thing to say that's not gonna happen no on these shows But that would be a good thing to see now we have the winner Miss New York And I think that this question is kind of convoluted and she answers again another, you know Well here the question. I will attempt to answer but now does she have a platform? I should be aware Oh, no, no She's just a singer Just pick a different one

2:41:00 There you go. Yeah, you're trying to grab peanuts out of the jar. Yeah is pretty much it yeah Isn't that a conch shell? That's what I've always learned conk its conch conk Mr.. York's question will come from Lee Merriweather there are a record 20 women serving in the Senate. What is one specific issue where these women leaders should challenge the male majority and take the lead? Let me think, I would have to say this would be about your own body and about birth control

2:41:58 and being able to have access to birth control and anticonception, and I should also be able to access abortion clinics. That was a complete miss. Wow! Yeah, a complete miss her answer is related but it's not that answer at all and she actually I thought she presented very poorly and i think she probably if it was based on these questions I'd say she wouldn't have won Hold on a second do you mind if I just try to kind of do over? You can do over because you'll never get it So, it's clearly about how men are a-holes towards women and something that women should be legislating on. So if it has to do either with... Usually it's about their body. Is it about the body? You're not even... What?! ...you're generalized close but you're not gonna get it. I can just assure you when you hear it you're going to go oh shit! I would have never gotten there.

2:42:59 I really believe that sexual assault in our military is an issue that these women have gone to fight for. And every single woman who fights in our military deserves the right to be safe and happy, and respected by those she serves with so those women should go to fight and they are and I'm so proud to be one of their constituents. Essentially, a weak word to use in casual conversation. There was a substitute I'm supposed to use? Just no need to use it at all! It's just...it's a weakness word to tell me that- Three to one and a half. I'm not counting the other weird as whole because you said it simultaneously with me so its one and a half to three

ISIS Beheading Question, Brigadier General Anne McDonald, Decolate

Brigadier General Anne McDonald, acting as a judge, asked Miss Virginia about the appropriate U.S. response to ISIS beheadings. The hosts debate the use of the word "decolate" as a more refined synonym for beheading or decapitation. They find the inclusion of a high-ranking military official in a beauty pageant to be a "disgusting" example of cultural normalization of war.

isis· beheading· anne mcdonald· decolate· decapitate· miss virginia

2:43:57 Yes. Okay, final one this is the final one I'm gonna run because the other one was it was a good girl as pretty and it was a good answer and everything but it wasn't that interesting this one here would be a good challenge for you in this is Virginia kind of cut out at beginning just go right to the question from Brigadier General Anne McDonald who's Brigadier General Anne MacDonald? One of the judges Savagery of the ISIS threat to our security was demonstrated by the gruesome videos of two journalists and an aid worker being beheaded What should our country's response be? Ah, hold on a second. Now there are couple things wrong with this Besides the lies about the beheading? Yes! Let's listen to it again I think you had the wrong version Of the question

2:44:46 Here it is again. The savagery of the ISIS threat to our security was demonstrated by the gruesome videos of two journalists and an aid worker being beheaded what should our country's response be? Okay, yes I believe for our country respond this Brigadier General she's a military person asking a military question A female military person as a judge in this America competition. First woman of West Point is who she is. Wow, good score! Did you get per diem on that Anne? Disgusting... She's retired so she can do whatever she wants Well in this case obviously the answer must be we should degrade and destroy ISIL did she say ISIS or ISIL

2:45:38 Ooh, well we have think she said Isis. We need to go back and listen again from Brigadier General Anne McDonald the savagery of the ISIS threat to our security Isis oh boy rated by the gruesome videos of two journalists and an aid worker being beheaded And can I before you want it around this side? Yeah before yes before we go to the answer may I opt for a new phrase on Decolate. What does that mean? D-E-C-O-L-L-A-T-E Does that mean beheading? Yes! You can use decapitate That's a word I like Behead, I like decapitate too But decolate is like decollar It has something nice about it No... sounds too pleasant We shall use decapitate but that's what we used to use Yeah So i think the answer should be

2:46:36 decolate specifically needs to behead someone. And don't forget there's a Virginia girl so she is going to be next in line with the right answer. Well, the only answer can be that yes we need to act out of humanitarian but we should do this with partners and to give our guidance and support, an advisory role. And air power to blow the freak out of the sand. What should our... I was like you gotta get me let's yeah let me score you know how did it do? I would say that that would be passing i think that you got something great thank you yes what will our country's response be

2:47:17 I think that was essentially what you said. Oh, and you said it again! It's just so unnecessary for you to do this. Wow! Yeah... If i get the five, im just hanging up. Just leave! Just get out of here Okay, well does that wrap up the report dad pretty much wraps up the report? I have to say this shows improved is better produced and all the rest of it now since we're still on The segment that is real news or are we did we go to Real News yeah We played the Real News hours ago. Well. I want to do one more Real News story about a show

CHAPTER 46 / 50 Discussion

The Real Talk Show, Amazeballs, Junk Food Segments

"The Real," a syndicated talk show featuring five women of color, is criticized for its "slick" production and "offensive" content. The hosts mock a segment where the presenters eat extreme junk food, such as chicken nugget cupcakes and chocolate-covered potato chips. The use of the slang term "amazeballs" is highlighted as a low point in American television.

the real· tamar braxton· lonnie love· amazeballs· junk food· production value

2:48:10 And now, back to real news. Back to real news. Probably the most I think it's somewhat of an extremely offensive show called The Real and it just came up It's one of these there's a bunch of these shows out they all are I say clones of The View where you have a bunch of women sitting around bitching and moaning about stuff and doing this in that This one here is extremely offensive because it's a bunch of...and Mimi's the one who we're watching this she's the one who calls it just the skanks There are five skanks. The Real dot com, and so your wife calls them skanks not you but your wife who is being sexist by saying this? Well I don't know if she's sexist or maybe objective. And I might point out these are all women of color

2:48:57 women of color and they're mixed-color except for the one in the middle there's one in the middle that's a big fat black woman. Isn't that Star Jones? I don't know who that is, I don't think so whatever it is she tries to be funny and keeps mugging at the camera then to her right is a Latino girl and then or Latina and then to her then further over is a Black woman who has blonde hair usually okay hold on so we have Tamar Braxton Who was I think Tony Braxton's sister? We have Lonnie love that's the believe she's a comedian She's the one that you say is the large black woman, then we have Jeanine

2:49:34 May Mai I don't know her or Tamra. She is a Korean Japanese looking she's the multi culti girl of the future looking good, I like that look and there's another one that is multi culti that I can't figure out anything about her. I can tell us Adrian Bailon I don't know, she's on the end. Whatever the case is let's play a little bit and you have to play this at the end because there's a little usage at the end as a word they drop in there which is just the eye roller. They have a segment where they eat food and they steal food from each other and they throw it everything but throwing it at each other and they have opinions about this junk food that they eat on the show

2:50:12 Tell me that this is not a show that has negative impact on the American, I think... Woman. An American woman and here's the really weird part Oh my goodness it doesn't stop today! That's a two right there. I know I caught myself saying it too and hold on just at the end one-and-a-half to four so the strange part is this show is extremely well produced I mean it makes all those other shows look sick in terms of production value. It is slick! I'm seeing them in all costume changes, I'm seeing all kinds of expensive things... Oh, it's a slick, slick show. Here's what it is If you're gonna indulge do it right bad foods don't have to be a guilty pleasure anymore time to eat ladies

2:51:01 First we have a southern banana pudding. It's banana ice cream swirl with banana pudding and a vanilla wafer crust crumble, Lord! Yes! Can I eat it? Yes! Oh, she is brave. Weezy from the Jeffersons apparently is on the show. This is this is pretty intense. What does this Fox syndicated? Right here honey, it's chocolate but potato chip I

2:51:48 And they got chocolate. Can you pass it around, please? Yes! OK. Oh this is hefty. I want to try. I want to try. Oh jeez. I'm into that savory and sweet type of thing and I love this new trend where lots of salty things are being coated with sweets. Uh-huh. Holy moly. Take one. You get the sweet with a salt at the same time. That tastes like a real good man right there baby. Lay it out I was just a fellatio joke. I'm sorry, I'll just have to call it as I see it if you don't mind It's sick, but it's just This is a vanilla cupcake its infused with maple syrup and

2:52:37 The vanilla icing has maple syrup and on top of it is a nice waffle in a chicken McNuggets What'd she say I some about Jesus for blacks or something with some races remark I couldn't isolate This is like Jesus sent this to the black people. I mean he came best in full form and this is it right here. Look how beautiful this is! This is amazeballs. Oh god, amazeballs... Billy you made me sick through a minute and 47 seconds to hear the word amazeballs. I never heard of it on TV before. There's a commercial that they talk about amazeballs well this is very disappointing. The bottom of the barrel for the American people. Yeah its very disappointing that people take time out of their day to write to me

Class Dojo App, School Surveillance, TSA Cologne Alarms

A Massachusetts man was detained by the TSA after his "Bleu de Chanel" cologne triggered an alarm for explosive chemicals. In schools, the "Class Dojo" app is being used to track second-graders' behavior in real-time, allowing parents to monitor "positive" and "negative" points. The hosts characterize this as an early-life introduction to the "slave device" and a form of psychological surveillance.

class dojo· surveillance· common core· tsa· cologne· explosives

2:53:38 and say that I am sexist when this crap just preying on women, preying on black women. I don't know whatever fine Yeah, no I found it totally should put a video in warrant. It was important like them on Facebook is what I'd say you should go right away and like him on Facebook. I will be traveling tomorrow here's an experiment I can give a try you might want to leave your cologne at home the next time you take a flight At least that's what a Massachusetts man says after his run-in with TSA Gene ocean says agents pulled him into a separate room for additional screening when he tested positive for explosive chemicals

2:54:21 TSA released a statement saying their technology is very sensitive and because of this on occasion commonly used items like cologne can set off alarms so that fragrance is one of them. And that is the Bleu de Chanel in case you wanted to give it a try, that's set off. Blue as in blow up? Yeah, spelled in the French way. B-L-E-U. Exactly. So just a little bit. In the Common Core! Yeah, in the Common Core. Adam, ITM wanted to share with you what my local public school district is doing to introduce social network and smartphone addiction as early as possible My daughter is in second grade and the teacher uses an app called Class Dojo To monitor and rate the behavior of each kid during the day The parents can install this app on their smartphones And in real time can see how their kids' behavior is

2:55:19 My daughter's teacher only updates the app at the end of the day, but many parents were saying their kids' teachers were updating it constantly rather than teaching I guess. Yes! I heard one mom say... The app also makes a noise when a negative dojo point is given because i've been hearing it distracts the kids because they're all wondering who got the down vote so imagine that the kids are sitting in the class And these are second graders? Yeah, second graders. Of course they all have a smartphone because might as well get the slave device on them soon early in life and then they hear I need to find out what this sound is when you get a bad dojo and they're like oh man This isn't really a common core thing Mmmmm... I believe it is related to common core

2:56:08 This is a lot of this, okay. Well I mean yeah, look at where the fu- That's a stretch! Well look at the dojo app website and you tell me where that you think their funding is coming from? I have a little bit of their commercial if you want to hear the little Dojos Yeah play that while I'm looking it up It's under uh... I think its... What's the word? Hey! Welcome to ClassDojo Classdojo is a tool that makes your classroom more fun And helps you become a better student too Your teacher will set up Class Dojo and make a list of actions to try to do this year, like participating... ...helping others. It's at classdojo.com Yeah I'm there. And staying on task

2:56:57 When your teacher notices that you're doing these actions, you'll receive dojo points. Okay this is just stupid This is an insult to the American educational system And look at all the backers NBC Thank You TechCrunch NBC News Education Nation The Huffington Post Today Show They've all featured it this week They've all featured it I guess Wall Street Journal Wired NPR of course Yeah but they think this is great Crap I think it's great. 60 seconds, Kristen uses Class Dojo to message her class' parents this is like intimidation mm-hmm this is like a Hogan's Heroes you know gonna be sent to the Russian front yeah if you don't watch it just look at their blog blog dot class dojo calm

2:57:51 It's it's a okay. Maybe it's not specifically common core related, but it is part of the whole idea of tracking your kid You know storing this information points dojo points for being a good doobie or what a good dojo a dude Doobie don't you remember romper room? No, I didn't use to be yeah they did you And never watch more from well. Yeah there was my generation needs me oh Class Dojo, back to class dojo. This web thing doesn't even come up. Engage students with the help of your interactive whiteboard. I'm just selling product! Boys on one side girls on the other. Okay just a bunch of personal anecdotes. Never give up on parent engagement

2:58:43 Exactly. The evolution of EdCamps. But John, we're giving second graders smartphones so they can track their dojo points and your parents are hooked into it? This can't be good! This whole thing just can't be good! No, of course not none of this is good. Okay Oh, there's a good post. Avoiding the pitfalls of popular technology! This was written by Kelly Connolly Hickey A class dojo thought partner You know I think we could look at each other as thought partners. I think we could get a gig that way Set your year up for success Start communicating now It's got some guy talking on whatever that thing is on the Mac FaceTime or whatever it is

Bill Maher, Fox News Polarization, John Birch Society

Bill Maher claimed on his show that Fox News is the primary cause of political polarization in America, comparing it to the John Birch Society. The hosts dispute Maher's historical anecdote about John Birch Society members going door-to-door, suggesting he is confusing them with religious groups like Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses.

bill maher· fox news· polarization· john birch society· mormons· seventh-day adventists

2:59:33 All right. Okay, I'm done then. Good. I only have two more things you got anything left for one more thing just because i thought it was stupid and this is Bill Maher who decides to make the statement about Fox News being the progenitor of all evil and then he says something that it was just like...I'm going to ask you about this after this clip is done And we always talk about the polarization in Washington. I wonder, people always talk about Washington and politicians can't get along...I think maybe it's that the people are polarized and the politicians just reflect that. And i feel like the reason the people are so polarized is Fox News. I think of all things that changed

3:00:19 In America, Fox News changed the most. It used to be that John Birch Society came to your door once a year now they're in your TV in your living room hmm Now I'm gonna ask you this okay When did the John Birch Society come to your door once a year? I certainly don't recall that ever. I was around an area where there's a big birch operation! I've never seen a John Birch Society guy come to my door... Maybe he's confusing it with, uh... The Seventh-day Adventists or Witnesses or something? Or was a witness perhaps? Mormons? I also have to disagree vehemently with Mr. Marr

CHAPTER 49 / 50 Discussion

Rachel Maddow, Flames of War Video, MSNBC Propaganda

Rachel Maddow is accused of "propagandizing" her audience by showcasing a 52-second ISIS trailer titled "The Flames of War." Maddow described the video's production values as "Hollywood," while the hosts dismiss it as high-school level editing. They argue that Maddow's analysis is "fucking nuts" and that MSNBC is failing as a network due to its extreme ideological bias.

rachel maddow· flames of war· msnbc· propaganda· isis· hollywood

3:01:03 I jumped on him. In fact, they had Haley Barber on the show who's a funny guy and he says i think this show here has got more divisive stuff than Fox News! Well, I will take it one step further and I had not...I'd considered not playing this clip because it just goes on and on but we can stop whenever you want as I'll just play this is the last one I'll keep the other stuff for Sunday This is Rachel Maddow, who on the fly I presume or assume was told that they had the we've got it Rachel! We've got the latest ISIS propaganda trailer video. Now have you heard of this? This is the... No. It's all new to me Okay, it's called The Flames Of War and its about a minute an half And really what your seeing is a groovy title card kind of like

3:01:54 The world like of the wrestling guys kind of their title cards was really big flames of war then then they've taken high-speed camera, which you can do with a number of different consumer based devices and Created it may not even be that it could just be a great Final Cut Pro 10 effect I'm not sure but they've really slow mode stuff down And then you see you know American tank blow up and it's really nothing other than well Rachel Maddow, which I believe is the true propaganda. And I don't know what happened to her if they implanted the chip this woman is

3:02:31 I'm just gonna say it, fucking nuts. And there are so many women i know who watch her and adore her and think she is the cat's meow and that she is the elite in giving them very good information...and this is despicable! ISIS has now released a new video that is not another beheading video thank god but it is plainly aimed at an American audience It's 52 seconds long. It appears to be sort of a trailer for a longer video of some kind, but we don't know that for sure. What they have released is this 52 seconds worth of propaganda video and it is propaganda absolutely! Now mind you no one has heard about this No one was talking about it You haven't heard about it Nope But here's Rachel Maddow telling us its propaganda And she just not going to stop propagandizing YOU the viewer with this stupid video

3:03:23 But in terms of its newsworthiness, I think it is worth seeing. Because it shows both what this group was capable of in terms of their skill at producing a message about themselves... Oh! Skill? ...but also gives some indication as to what strategically they are trying to get Americans to feel. It's less than a minute. It's not gory. It is disturbing because it's propaganda video. Well that's bullcrap since when is the propaganda video by definition disturbing?! And it's not. There is nothing to skirt or disturb me, it's total bullcrap But if you look at what they are trying to accomplish with this video here You can sort of see their strategy in terms of what they want from the American people and the American government How they want us to react to them Excuse me house frowls out there who think that middle class and a little above average intelligence Please listen to me because I'm telling how your supposed to think about this video I am giving you on a silver platter please consume my propagandistic message

3:04:17 It's essentially why Isis just released this propaganda video. I have to tell you there were two. She is stumbling now because they're throwing shit in the prompter and she is re-reading something, she hasn't seen the video. Moments in which we think there were dead bodies visible in that footage, in this footage that we cut out but other than... They cut out the dead bodies, what they think might've been dead bodies. Please. This is pretty much what they released. Pretty much. This is the tape. Now she's going to narrate the tape now part of the reaction to this video today has been about just how Hollywood their production values. Hollywood? Hollywood! This is high school level production. How slick they are with video and editing

3:05:01 And sound effects? If part of their success as a terrorist organization is conveying a message that's attractive to recruits around the world, who then send them money or come fight with them. Then it's helpful to know that they're really good at crafting their own message and making it look like Hollywood Now what is she doing here?! Is she on script? Is she ad-libbing? Has she just gone insane?? Sounds like she has gone off the rails I mean why can't she get to the point But she doesn't! This is what crazy Listen, that of course is only one side of what they're doing. That's one side of their strategy to try to succeed on their own terms So now she's going to tell us the strategy but obviously she's in the know She's shown us this dumb video right? Yes On the one hand they need to build themselves up They need to make themselves stronger and bigger and richer by attracting recruits and attracting supporters But the other side of it is that they are what does she just say stronger and richer and bigger

3:05:50 This is very disturbing talk. This is not Fox News, this is crazy nut job leftist idiots also have to attack. They also have to try and make their enemies weaker. Yes! And they do that directly with force in the places they've taken territory in Iraq and Syria. They just simply used military force to overwhelm rivals and local authorities and take over whole swathes of each of those countries Whole swathe? They've not yet tried to launch a physical assault of any kind on the United States, but they do clearly think of the United States as their enemy. I mean can you believe this is all based on one little piece of stupid video that if this is just insane there's no she has no data on this she's just spouting off and it's the professor's wife who watches her and says oh I would marry her if I was gay these this is this is the danger

3:06:48 Wow. And it just goes on and on... I can barely watch her anymore But it doesn't stop, John! It just goes on and she's fighting and you're facing your face in your face in your face in your face in your face and then all of a sudden it's COKE BROTHERS That's all she does I don't know, man. Not much you can do about it. Not that many people...I mean that show let's face it even though- It is over! One of the highest rated shows on MSNBC and still would be kicked off a Fox. No, it's totally over oh yeah it's over it's over and the only other thing that was of interest- I don't understand why the Comcast guys just don't revamp MSNBC and say look this is not working? I think they're all afraid of touching it

3:07:40 And who would, I mean what can really make it work anymore? Shut it down. Shut the network down! Well there's that one way...I just don't see it now.. Not losing money. Hmm well maybe not. I can't believe it would not be losing money. I'm just not sure. Now that Comcast owns it they don't have to pay for carriage on Comcast. They probably made a difference. They probably do have to do that just to make it look good Maybe anyway the of the house passed the House resolution 24 Which is the audit the Fed? Yeah, I know How I knew you would give that response well at least some people care they're trying to do something Give him a little bit of credit mom. The idea is there oh
