00:00 Apparently, I'm an idiot. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Thursday, November 27, 2014 and time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 673. This is no agenda. Tracking down the great pin and poke scam in Gitmo Nation lowlands. Coming to you from the pipe in the heart of Amsterdam in the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from the Pacific Northwest hideout, 2119 miles away from Ferguson, Missouri. I'm John C. DuBois.

00:42 is it John how is everything there? It's cold, it's very cold and I'm here reporting on the spot. Yes and do you see any of your colleagues there are you all safe are you safe John are you all safe? I see Brian Williams standing out in the cold doing a stand-up why isn't he in New York or someplace where it's warm? What an idiot. They must be paying him a lot of money, John. What do you think? You want to go ask him about that maybe? He makes 12 to 14 million dollars a year. Well, I'll go. I'll freeze my nuts off for that too, John. All right, listen, John, come back with us later. Back to you, Adam. That's right. Be safe, John. Be safe. Yeah. 14 million dollars a year so he can go stand in the cold. Reporting live from Ferguson. All right, let me give you this. Let me give you this. Give it a try here. Hold on. Oh, actually, oh man. I'm still here in the Netherlands if anyone's wondering.

01:32 And this is an interesting coincidence. I'm in the Pacific Northwest hideout. Yes, you're in the Netherlands and and Eric is also on the road the first time in the history of the show that all three of the on the principles the service are in different locations than normal. So where is Eric? He's heading down to Berkeley. Oh, wow. Okay, so you you guys almost crossed each other then. Yeah, he almost crossed me. Yeah, damn it. Well, first of all, happy Thanksgiving, John. Happy Thanksgiving to you, Adam. You realize this is the phoniest of all the holidays that we celebrate routinely. I find this hard to believe because I have a proclamation from the President of the United States and it seems pretty real. Not only just a proclamation, a little history lesson.

02:28 Oh, this I'd like to hear. Yes, the president. Okay, let's start before you read the proclamation. Let's just review it. Let me just say one thing. Some people have heard this seven years in a row. This would be your eighth time. I'm going to cut it short, believe me. Okay. You can go to Dvorak.org slash blog and look it up. I'll probably repost everything later today. But it's a Thanksgiving celebration really began when Lincoln, Lincoln, I I tell you, created a day of Thanksgiving for the dead Civil War soldiers. And they have had Thanksgiving similar to that on and off over all the years. There was something that took place during the Pilgrim Era called Harvest Day or Festival Day or something like that. It wasn't Thanksgiving. And some woman

03:13 I believe it do I can't don't have in front of me but later and a few years later like during the Truman administration or something like that demanded that this this whole thing be put into play as a bogus you know celebration of our of the pilgrims or some I don't know how that even got to there but it's bullcrap the whole thing is bullcrap Well, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to hear you say that that way. My kids, by the way, the little side story, my kids, they got this from me. Of course, I'm the grumpy old dad that keeps telling Thanksgiving is bogus. My kids used to take this information to school. When did you? Fifth grade or something. I thought they were homeschooled.

03:57 No, no, they'd be in and out. My daughter was the one who was homeschooled the most. The other two, they were going to here and there. But whatever the case, they would take this information to school and they'd get almost expelled. For spewing this craziness. Right that's a conspiracy nut. Oh, yeah, really did they call you can you of all people they called you a conspiracy nut So I had this whole proclamation thing about Thanksgiving And and I and I go to open up and I get a 404 it's like they've removed ah This is very peculiar Save page as well. No. This is why I'm going I'm kind of trying to stall everything so I can go into my

04:43 to my archive. Yeah, well of course, you know, our whole system has backups. Tell us a little bit more about the holiday, John. Just give me one more second, see if I can find this. Let's skip ahead and go to Obama. We have a clip? Yes, I do. Obama, part in one. Oh crikey, I knew it was coming. Good afternoon, everybody. Hey, he sounds drunk. Did you hear that? Hey, happy Thanksgiving. Please have a seat. Normally we do this outside, the weather's not cooperating today. But I want to, first of all, on behalf of Malia and Sasha, wish everybody an early happy Thanksgiving. I am here to announce what I'm sure will be the most talked about executive action this month. Today I'm taking an action fully within my legal authority.

05:38 The same kind of action taken by Democrats and Republican presidents before me to spare the lives of two turkeys, mac and cheese. What? You know, I need to say something here. Depression food and he's celebrating. I need to say something about this. I want it to be known, I want to reiterate, this program has been the sole and true leader in tracking the progression of the 80-year cycle depression food known as macaroni and cheese, oft referred to as mac and cheese.

06:17 We're the only ones. And this is important because now all of a sudden this mac and cheese is not just one but two turkeys that are being pardoned with, as we've discussed, a traditional dish for African-Americans at Thanksgiving, the mac and cheese. Now pushing this entire meme onto the people, it truly does signal the beginning of the end. What you, Mr. Dvorak? Oh, absolutely. Obama pardon number two. I have the whenever you whenever you're ready I have the legislation or the I have a proclamation. And they'll get to live out the rest of their days respectively at a Virginia estate with 10,000 acres of roaming space. That's in Langley. I looked that company up. Do you know how many turkeys they do? Millions. Just in the month of December?

07:16 No. 750,000. And on their website they have this whole thing, hey, you know, we also like, we deliver like turkeys that are all dressed up and good to go in the oven. You know, we don't just like take them back. And this whole piece with this lady, you know, I was like, oh yeah, no, Brad Pitt orders from us. George Clooney orders from us. It's very strange. It's not just some little, little farm, couple of, you know, couple of people. Why would George Clooney order from these folks? He lives in like Beverly Hills or Italy. Bruce Springsteen? Yeah, this is bullcrap.

08:00 But don't worry, there's plenty of turkey to go around. Malia and Sasha and I will take two turkeys that didn't make the cut to a local food pantry that works hard year-round to make sure that folks in our nation's capital have food and clothes to, uh, food to eat and clothes to wear. Didn't make the cut. Now, what he said there is that they're wearing turkeys.

08:37 Yes, I listened to it a couple of times. Hold on, hold on. So they can wear them. Around to make sure that folks in our nation's capital have food and clothes to, uh, food to eat and clothes to wear. Hey! What he said, he says he's taking the turkey to this homeless shelter so they can have food to eat and clothes to wear. Yes, John, that's what he said. He did! I know, I heard it, I heard it. I get it. Very funny. Presidential proclamation. That's how bad things are. Thanksgiving 2014. And so Thanksgiving Day invites us to reflect, blessings, freedoms, cherish, armed forces,

09:21 And then here we go. From nearly 400 years ago. Now this is official. This is in the Library of Congress. This is history. If you go back to November 27th, 2014 and you know, let's just say these are kids in like 2030, 2035. Like, hey, what are the old people, old timers, what did they think about? Remember when, when internet was, they thought fiber was going to be the next best thing. All right. Those days, whose history are they going to be reading? John C. Dvorak, podcaster at large, President Barack Hussein Obama.

10:03 Well, he's got a bigger audience than we do. Nearly 400 years ago, a group of pilgrims left their homeland, notice the subtle use of the word homeland, and sailed across an ocean in pursuit of liberty and prosperity. I turn to my esteemed colleague Mr. Dvorak for a quick expansion on the pursuit of these said pilgrims leaving their homeland. They were leaving from religious persecution for the most part. So that's liberty and prosperity. They were driven out. They were chased. With the friendship and kindness of the Wampanoag people, they learned to harvest the rich bounty of a new world. How many of those Wampanoag's are left? I continue. Together, they shared a successful crop, celebrating bonds of community during a time of great hardship.

11:02 Through times of war and peace, the example of a native tribe who extended a hand to a new people has endured. Oh, this is good. He's relating this to the situation with the undocumented aliens. How slick is that? Very good. Extended a hand to a new people. Of course, it's good if anybody actually read it besides you, which is a drawback to the thesis. But again, this is the history. And look, and here he wrote it. He wrote it as he did it. One of the great, great, great speeches, it'll be seen as a speech, one of the great speeches by Barack Obama, welcoming the Mexicans. Isn't that slick though? So we, that would be the white men who should be ashamed of themselves, I guess,

11:57 because of our privilege, we once landed on these shores and there we had the Obama of their day or maybe the JFK of their day or the Truman of their day. That was the Wampanoag Indians and they were reaching out to us and then we killed them. So what is the lesson here? What is he trying to tell us? Well, he shouldn't. He's avoiding the fact that Mexicans are here to kill us. That's the only logical conclusion. It's the logic of the whole thing. And that's our show. Thank you very much. By the way, are you sick of the meme country of immigrants?

12:39 Yeah, I've heard that, I've heard we're an immigration country, which I think is nice. A country of immigrants is the one I think you hear the most, and it's a total meme that's always used. And it's like, we could go into the Ferguson thing, but Ferguson, which is... Not yet, not yet. We can't go yet, we can't go yet. Targeted. It has another little meme in there, which is annoying. Well, so I followed Obama around a bit because that was the easiest for me to do. And yeah, Ferguson folds into this. Because I've been watching as much European news as possible, obviously. A little bit of CNN International, which is interesting. It's kind of like they have their second string of chicks. Yeah, actually the second string of chicks on CNN International, even though I can't get it anymore because the Dish Network is... I thought they were done. It's back on. Have you checked?

13:27 I think they settled. Yeah, they settled. Oh good. Yeah. Well, whatever the case they I think CNN International is a far superior product. Yeah, but I think that some they have some second string chicks and I just want everyone to understand we are speaking as television executives right now. Yes, we speak as television executives. We're sexist pigs and A-holes. So we're actually being television executives, so we are presenting ourselves as sexist pig a-holes who really don't know anything. It's a skit. Yes, it is a skit. All right, sexist pig a-hole who doesn't know anything. Right, exactly. So what about him? Yeah, so I've been watching some Obama stuff. A couple of things that are subtle, a couple of things that... He went to Chicago.

14:19 And this was a planned, they had a planned heckling session. It was, it was, it was, I was pretty impressed. So imagine this is a setting with a lot of students, young people, then it's in a kind of an auditorium almost in the round, or at least three or four sides, definitely four sides maybe, of people behind the president. And not just any idiot can walk into these, certainly not at least three coordinated hecklers. And I think part of this was improv, but the president immediately takes this into a script and then later disclaims that it was a script. It was so bizarre. He said it was a script? Or no, he disclaimed. He said it wasn't a script. I'll play these clips. OK, so first, here's the first. It's about 20, 23 minutes into it.

15:17 And I believe this is done purposely in order to, hold on let me just grab this, in order to actually signal to the media here's the message or, I don't know, it was just some kind of exercise in communication. Here's the first heckling, the start of it. But even a- I'm not the president but that has been a lie. You have been deceiving me. Okay. See now. Alright. I was kind of like one main lady and then another one. You can't understand I'm sure you must have listened closer than I can hear it. Can barely hear. The only thing I heard at the beginning was you lie! Something like that. You lie, that's it? Something like that. So now there's two ladies yelling and it's from opposite sides. Oh yeah, it's from opposite sides but they are coordinated as far as I'm concerned. Okay. Yeah, all that shrill LaCode pink type.

16:22 That- this I think is a code pink, yeah, but that's not seen. Now what happens is he's- now there's like three or four people, and this is going on for a while, I mean I've cut out, you know, the whole episode of this was probably five or six minutes. With just people yelling at him going, you know, well, here he is trying to grab hold of the situation. And I did not edit this. This stuttering is in real time. uh here we go uh i i i i understand they listen hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on young lady young lady don't just don't don't just don't just don't just start yelling young ladies all the single ladies sir sir sir why are you

17:12 So, so, so why don't you sit down too? Listen. Doesn't it sound... And that's the story. Y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-

17:56 Alright? Now I've been respectful. I'll let you hear. Respectful prayers! Yeah! These guys are good, John. You gotta admit it. This is good shit. It's all he's good at. Well, at least that's that. Yeah. Alright, so he does that very well. And then what do I have here? Oh, okay. So now he has everybody's attention. Now he's going to do what I call deliver the payload. So now he has everyone's kind of off kilter, it's been a little exciting. You call this deliver the payload? This is what I call it. Huh. Deliver the payload. So he's got this drone. Don't you think it should be deliver the pay off? No, it's a payload. Okay. No, because he's encapsulated this payload of information

18:47 with this emotional outburst and people, oh wow, okay, what's happening? We're witness to history. Yes. To mind controlling history is what we're witness to. And then here it comes. We've got to be able to talk honestly about these issues. Okay. This is right after what you heard. You're absolutely right that there have been significant numbers of deportations. I love the uptalk on that one. Deportations! Okay, it's just deportations. That's true. True. We deported some folks. I wish he would have said that. I find it a crime that his writers didn't put that in. Yeah, since he uses it constantly. Yeah, we deported some folks. That would have been perfect. And at this point he is reading the prompter, by the way. This is why I know that it was scheduled.

19:38 Okay, so you caught him right on the right on prompter right after the heckling right into it, baby, but nice And I know you mean that too. No, I do. Excellent. What you're not paying attention to. Oh, what you're not paying attention to. This is so good. This is NLP. And I'm a fake. Yeah. Is the fact that I just took an action to change the law. Oh, now. So, all right, here comes. That's point number one. Yeah. Point number one, which is, I guess, just off the cuff, but he has a couple of points he wants to make from the prompter.

20:15 Point number two. Point number two. The way the change in the law works is that we're reprioritizing how we enforce our immigration laws generally. I like this because that is the truth. We talked about the prosecutorial discretion and that's all that it is. Just by saying, well he'll give you the slogans. He's gonna, do you remember the slogan John? No. It was felons not families. Oh, right, right So we deport felons not families and he's gonna do that But he's gonna try to come up with a new one on the fly and it's great It's great. So not everybody do that so he can't add lib It's so bad qualifies for being able to sign up for

21:09 and register, but the change in priorities applies to everybody. Okay, trust me. The point is that though I understand why you might have yelled at me a month ago, although I disagree with some of your characterizations, it doesn't make much sense to yell at me right now. That's a Cosby. That's like a Cosby almost, isn't it? Yeah, a little bit. A little bit. Sorry, I thought I had his flub there. Well, here is his admission of the script. Okay, it's good to be back in Chicago. So, because everybody's got something to say.

22:29 But I'm not going to be able to have a conversation with each of you separately. So there are other ways of engaging. Just sit down. I went off script for a pretty long time. I don't mind. I know people are passionate about this, but they always like to do that. Throwing a little, I went off the script. It was completely scripted. Even him saying he went off the script is scripted. Yeah, I'm sure that's up there. So, well, you know, some of these events, like when they do the, the, um, I had two more, two more quickies from this. Oh, I just mentioned when some of these events, like when they do the correspondence, uh, dinner, he's at the up there with two prompters, but there's also a giant prompter at the back of the hall. Yeah. A really big one. Yeah. Big, giant. That's more what it's all anyone has to do is turn around and take a movie of it.

23:27 Oh, I've seen it a couple times. Yeah, I see it occasionally because of the camera angles, but nobody's just filming it. Yeah, but this is the emperor has no clothes on. You see, this is everyone knows that he's reading. Everyone sees it taking place, but it which is, oh, you know, it doesn't matter. He's naked. It just it's become commonplace and for many others, not just him. It's kind of, don't disturb him. You know, listen, it's a very busy guy. He's got a tough job. We can understand where sometimes it's just easier for him, you know, he's running around saving the world. He needs a teleprompter. Don't you understand that? What's the matter with you? Why are you asking these questions?

24:10 Here's something interesting the president said. The best programs may be too far away and sometimes someone, usually mom, leaves the workplace to stay home with the kids which then leaves her earning a lower wage for the rest of her life as a result. That's not a choice we want Americans to make. What? I knew you'd catch that one. Wow! We don't want you to make a choice to... We don't want you having any choices where you raise your kids, go back in the workplace later and become CEO. By the way, most female CEOs have kids. They had them when they were early and now they're loaded, they're rich and they're running the country. So what's he talking about? Well listen to the very end. We want Americans to make.

24:55 So let's make this happen. By the end of this decade, let's enroll 6 million children in high quality preschool and- Here they go. And not only do we not want you to make that choice, we want you to put them in a jail called pre-kindergarten. What is pre-k- pre-children garden? Before they grow, what do we put them in the earth? Get them in there early so you can brainwash them right off the top. You know it's gotta be like that. Oh yeah, of course. Who else comes up with stuff like this? Who else comes up with it? Nobody. No. No, Hitler. Hey, you're a little early for me. Hold on, I don't have my Hitler. Whoever calls for Hitler doing it during a show? I wasn't expecting.

25:43 All right, now our transitional clip, thanks to the president. So again, another gaffe, and I'm listening to this as I really only want to clip that one bit about what he was talking about, but then he slipped this in. I hope you don't mind because obviously there's a lot of stuff in the news. I actually need to begin by saying a few words about what happened over the past day. Not just in Ferguson. He's got a lot of lip smack going on in this clip, buddy. He's been doing that more and more. I've noticed it. Maybe we're just noticing it now. That's what I think. That's a possibility since we're now aware of lip smacking. Ferguson, Missouri, our neighbor to the south but all across America.

26:31 As many of you know, a verdict came down. Now I didn't catch it at first, but he catches himself. A grand jury made a decision yesterday that... That's a big difference from a verdict came down. Yeah. I find that to be a very disturbing mistake. What's he thinking? And this is... and I believe this may also... I'm not sure if I could see him reading prompter on this. It's probably something he messes up when he really goes off script. That's probably why he messed it up. A verdict came down. No!

27:13 But that kind of shows you, I think, how incredibly staged this, although it's real, I mean a lot of stuff is real, there's real stuff happening. But, Pump, come on, when you see Jake Tapper, Anderson Cooper, Brian Williams, Don Lemon, all on the scene, that's like the biggest red flag you can ever imagine. If it's really dangerous, these guys are not going anywhere. Yeah, I agree. Did you see Don Lemon? No, you don't have CNN. I didn't, I wasn't getting CNN. Alright, here's my favorite. He's just standing there talking to a guest. Officers will be going up. Also what you're looking at now on the other side of your screen. This is how the guy came up. Fuck CNN! Here is now, here's now. That's the dangerous part. You gotta listen to this. Here's Don Lemon. I want you to tell me, stoned or not stoned.

28:12 Okay, stone. Not drunk or not drunk. I don't have a jingle for it, so it's not drunk or not drunk. Stoned or not stoned, as in the weed, the holy herb, the Mary Jane. Yeah, the stinkweed. The Mary Jane. The Thai stinkweed. Do we have any more old school references, John, that we can throw out there for the kids? Reefer. Reefer. Makes sense to me, brah. Alright, here we go. We're standing right across the street from the Ferguson Police Department, Anderson. And just a couple of seconds ago, we heard a gunshot, one gunshot. We heard about four or five earlier as the prosecutor was making the announcement. But just the one that happened just a couple of seconds ago,

28:58 People started running this way. Now, I gotta tell you, I am by, I think by my, certainly my own qualification, I am a qualified expert on the smoking of marijuana. and certainly working while smoking marijuana. And I think at this very moment, this report, Don is feeling his... If you've ever smoked marijuana, he's got this, he's being removed. He's seeing his body, he's hearing his lips move, he's seeing that. He's hearing the noises, but he's not really inside himself. And you can hear him start to slow down and just completely lose the plot.

29:37 There are a couple of police officers in the crowd and they're still sort of moving around here. But again, we have heard gunshots this evening. A couple during the prosecutor's announcement, Bob McCullough's announcement, and then just about maybe a minute, two minutes ago, just before you went to Jason Carroll. We heard a gunshot and then people started scattering and now they're moving back. This is the gathering, here it comes. And we're watching people, they're on top of the roofs of cars, the tops of cars. Come on, John. Are you not hearing it yet? Yeah, yeah, he sounds like he's a little surfer-ish. Well, and here comes the kicker. Amen, yeah, and then they were standing around. Here comes the kicker. And obviously there's a smell of marijuana in the air as well. Oh my god. But again, a gunshot here.

30:24 Did he say obviously? Yeah, because he's slurring his words. He's like, oh, obviously there's the smell of marijuana. Obviously there's the smell of marijuana and that would account for my slurring my words if you really think about it. The roofs of cars. There's a smell around here. Is this sequence, the roofs of cars, the feet of people on top of it something? The roofs of car, the tops of cars and, uh, Obviously there's a smell of marijuana in the air as well. I never heard that whole clip, now I realize that the smell of marijuana is from him. Because he's talking. His mouth is actually coming out. If you look at his other hand, he's holding a doobie.

31:10 And may I give the European perspective of this situation in Ferguson? Oh, I'd love to hear that. That's why you're there. You're on the spot in Europe giving a live report. Yes, I am. And it's dark again as I speak to you, John, from the corridors of Western Europe. That's right. It gets to be like 8.30 there. It's 10 to 7. Yeah, it must be pitch black. It was black at 4.30. Yeah. from the corridors here and so what some call the gateway to Europe. Yeah. Yeah. KLM would say that. All the, yes. All the reports here pretty much go, it's, it's, it's, it's small. It was very, it's top of the news everywhere as everything that I could see. And also on the kind of the wider like Euro news and BBC, but I've also been looking at, you know, local Dutch TV, of course. And it's pretty much it's, it's lead story and it is,

32:08 Black kids shot dead unarmed. White cop. Ferguson protests. South. Missouri. South. Americans. Yes. History. And now the weather. It's very clear in these reports, it's saying... It is almost what the president said. Well, the verdict came down. Even though it's not really a verdict. In fact, it's quite... legally, it's quite something different. Americans, racist bastards, particularly in the South. That's the message. Yeah, that sounds about right. They nailed it. However, here's the interesting thing. I have been doing real research and flat out saying to people, you know, and when it comes up, because it does, yeah, that's what we are. You know, a bunch of crazy racists. We called up our Ku Klux Klan buddies and said, you know what would be funny?

33:10 Yeah, there's no law involved. But they all know we don't think of it that way. It's not working. This is what I find interesting. That so I presumed off they're going to be all in this working. They're so tired of just every piece of messaging. I think that most people are now saying that's probably bullcrap or whatever. They're indifferent, John. They're indifferent. It could also just be well, yeah, duh, we know. But they're completely indifferent. No outrage, no nothing, no... No. This is a very, this is a complete American media thing. That's all that it is. No one else gives a damn. Well that doesn't surprise me. I think they're sick of it. You know, of anything outside themselves. Yeah, but also historically, you know... What are you doing?

33:55 Well, since I'm at the hideaway, the keyboard is a different one than I'm used to using. It's very noisy. And you're hitting it with a hammer? I'm sorry, this is the way it sounds. Did you really not think I would hear that? I didn't even consider it. Obviously. No, I didn't. And I'm not going to be able to consider it because I'm not moving it. But I would have to agree, John. I think that this is well orchestrated from what I saw. Of course, it's been building for many, many months. Yeah, it was instigated. It was an instigated situation. I mean, play this clip, which I think you want to hear an outrageous story. Play the BB gun clip. Some kid gunned down for no reason. A little kid out in the yard playing with a BB gun.

34:41 The shooting of Tamir Rice... What mattered to me is that it happened in Cleveland and it happened to a child. It's about the child, loss of his life. A tragedy for everyone. I'm asking the residents of this city to continue to pray for this family. and to continue to pray for our city. There's a video of the shooting. Rice's family representatives got to see it because it's part of the investigation, though the public won't for now. I can assure you that we're very sensitive to the three, our community, The Rice family and our police officer. We have to be very sensitive to all three of them to decide what we're going to do with that. Police adding few new details. A caller said a young man was waving a gun that might be fake. The dispatcher did not mention that. Officers claiming Rice pulled a BB gun that looked real out of his waistband before one officer fired. It was very close.

35:35 So again, can you tell us... Less than 10 feet? Yes. The police union is standing behind the split-second decision. They wanted his hands away from that waistband because they knew the gun was there. He, he, four unfortunately chose to go down and grab that gun. She had it probably dropped her on the ground. Well, let's move on to a little more of the court issue. I also want to mention this. There's JC's friend in, it was Nashville or Memphis, I think he's in Nashville, Tennessee. And there's a local story going around. Some cop pulls some guy over, normal middle-class black guy. He says, I want your Johnny Driver's License and Registration. The guy reaches into his glove box to get the registration. The cop shoots him in the car right in the head.

36:16 It was funny. I thought he was going for a gun. Nobody cares about this. There's guys in, blacks are being shot and killed in Oakland by each other and by the police every other day. This whole thing was a setup from the beginning. It was pinpointed. I'm sure they would like to have the kid not be such a 280 pound bruiser or somebody more maybe less of a thuggish character. Yeah, but they've solved that with the actual image that they now use of him wearing the Beats headphones. The image of him at 16 or something where he looks pretty innocent. And they all use that same image. There's a couple of other more frightening images, throwing gang signs and doing other stuff. They don't use those images. I was watching on NewsHour and the only image they use is that one kind of very friendly looking little young kid. So I just want to make it very clear. We are only analyzing

37:08 the media aspect of this, which really truly... I don't even think it's that hard to do at this point. This is my problem. I'm seeing how easy it was to put this together over time. They just had enough time. And then to get it going was so simple, John. It was just so easy to put this all together. And they just had to get all the pieces. You need your iconic image. You're right. I think they wish they would have had something else. But yeah, the things that are happening in, if you put it into perspective... This is...this focusing on this one issue is doing one thing and one thing only politicizing the event for multiple agendas. Yeah, well, the original agenda we saw was to get people to vote Democrat because this all began before the primaries. And we've analyzed this to an extreme based on that thesis because they all came in and they did vote Democrat after that.

38:06 But the one meme that was bothering me the most was the one I heard it on NPR and I started hearing it on the local news and I heard it over and over again that the kid was 18 and college-bound. Right not it's always college-bound is 18 and college-bound to make it seem like oh my god. This is a you know the next Einstein Potentially the lion Stein was shot by this horrible policeman who by the way never fired a pistol before in in the line of duty This guy this guy had a completely clean record with the community with everybody Yeah, I know. It's just kind of the irony. It's like they chose the wrong guy almost for this to happen to them. But they pulled it off. In fact, I think as an exercise, they showed that, okay, we got the wrong kid that was killed. It should have been somebody more innocent. Exactly. We got the wrong cop who's never shot the gun in the line of duty. Right. We got everything's wrong, but let's bring in Sharpton and let's make this work and we can show that we can do it.

39:03 Here's Giuliani who made a lot of waves, I guess over the weekend on the Sunday shows, which I didn't see. But I did get this one clip of him, which gives you his perspective as mayor of New York. And I implicate him in a lot of bad stuff. He's not my friend. But here he does kind of lay down some smack. The amount of crime in the black community is excessive. 70 to 75 percent of the murders in New York City are committed by blacks. Now, I don't say that out of any racial motivation. I say that as a factual statement and as a plea. Please do something about that. When the president was talking last night about training the police, of course the police should be trained. He also should have spent 15 minutes on training the community.

39:55 to stop killing each other in numbers that are incredible. I think this is a situation in which people have to stop committing so much crime. If you commit 75% of the murders in a city, 75% of your police presence is going to be concentrated on you. And of course, we cannot deny the militarization of our police forces, which is so wrong on so many fronts. By the way, all the armored personnel vehicles and all that stuff you see in Ferguson, that's not from Ferguson.

40:32 That's from St. Louis. Do you know that St. Louis came in, immediately took over the investigation, that the Ferguson Police Department has not had the evidence and been able to do their own investigation of something happened in their town? Yeah. And that's just, you know, that shows you the level of how this has been manipulated. And what bothers me, John, as you get this over, I mean, I, of course, I've been, I scanned Facebook a little bit. Oh man, people saying I'm embarrassed to be white. You know, it's like all of this is this is this is about cops and civilians and the police state and poverty. And yeah, of course, there's life is not fair in so many ways. Play the play. We just give people, especially our international audience, a little taste of this militarization of the police department. Play the clip SWAT edit. Coming at you.

41:34 In London, this is The Economist. When criminals are heavily armed, the police understandably want to be heavily armed too to protect themselves. But there's been a huge rise in the number of SWAT raids in recent years and some say it's gone too far. I'm Robert Guest, The Economist's US editor, and I'm joined on the line by John Fassman, our correspondent in Atlanta. John, can you explain to our foreign listeners exactly what a SWAT team is? SWAT stands for Special Weapons and Tactics and it refers to paramilitary units of police forces. These are policemen who carry military-grade weapons, assault rifles and things like that, often travel in armoured personnel carriers. And it was created, the first SWAT team was created in Los Angeles in the late 1960s to respond to violent civil unrest.

42:23 And the idea was that police needed a unit that could respond to situations, hostage situations, people barricaded in buildings, that could respond with overwhelming force. The problem is that you've gone from having a few hundred raids a year in the 1970s to about a hundred a day. And most of these are not in response to life-threatening situations. Most of these are drug warrants being served on private residences. So you mean it's not that the suspected criminal in the house has threatened to kill anyone or is known to be violent, but simply that the police wish to serve a warrant on him and they choose to do it by sending in a heavily armed SWAT team. Is that right?

43:04 Right, you have a warrant that says this person may have half a dozen marijuana plants in his basement. And so instead of sending two or four police officers, you send a 16-person SWAT team and an armored personnel carrier. And they serve the warrants usually very early in the morning. Isn't that why, you know, dogs do that thing to themselves? Same reason? Just because you got it? It's there? That's why we do it? Often they'll bang down the door and throw in a flashbang grenade which is designed to blind and deafen the people inside. Bradley Balko, who has released a book on police militarization called Rise of the Warrior Cop, has counted 50 innocent people killed in body slaughtering. Those are the facts of this world and you will all render to them! You pigs and humans!

43:59 Yeah, nice. Yeah, that's where it's going. And I have a warm heart towards servicemen and women of all kinds, including the police. I know a lot of them, just all my life. I don't know, maybe a minor fireman police groupie. But you know, Americans in particular, we're kind of simple. And we really, and I say this to people all the time, if you come to America and you're in a store and someone says, have a nice day. Unlike other cultures, we really mean one thing. Hey, you just have a nice day. We're not sarcastic. We have no secondary agenda. We're simple. Hey man, have a nice day. And then we're on to the next thing. So when you say you've got to defend the homeland and terrorists, and I saw this in, I forgot to tell you, when we were at Grand Central Station.

44:59 You have troopers walking around, but then you also have two at each entrance Full of I don't know if it's reserve or what they are but military. Yeah, I'm doing I'm gonna protect the station It's like this is all you have to do to us and then we're just it's how simple we are I didn't know they had armed guards around Grand Central Station anymore. Inside, inside, yeah. Now of course, so the agenda I believe is, you know, just make everybody angry, just keep everybody really occupied with all this bull crap. And you know, it's also weakening the spirit, it's breaking patriotism. Excuse me, I have something in my throat. It's a tear that's in my throat is what it is.

45:40 You know, it's just, it's really, it's breaking the psyche of a country and it's sad, unfortunate. And here's MSNBC, who of course have no viewers. But they're more like an infomercial channel, and I'm sure they're at this point They got to be getting paid for stuff like that Ronan Sinatra who is reading everything Reverend Al Sharpton along with attorneys for Michael Brown's family Benjamin Crump and Anthony Gray giving their first remarks since the incendiary announcement in Ferguson last night well the incendiary announcement It was an announcement. What was incendiary about it? Incendiary implies that you're like shaking your fist and you're yelling and screaming and saying burn down the place like the incendiary comments of Michael Brown's dad. His stepdad. I have the full clip. Have you heard the full clip?

46:30 No, no. You've probably seen a snippet of it or I saw a snippet I couldn't understand him so I didn't bother saying burn the bitch down burn this bitch down burn this bitch down I think we can agree that is the definition of incendiary. That's incendiary. And then, of course, MSNBC obviously mentioned that. No, they don't even play that clip. Stop trying to fool me. Here is MSNBC once again. This is more fun. There's a guy on, Michael Denzel Smith. I guess he maybe calls himself Denzel. Maybe throws that in there.

47:27 Michael Denzel, and it's Michael with a Y and an A. M-Y-C-H-A-L. Cool. Michael Denzel Smith. And he must be from some organization. I'll give you the question and his answer. And just listen to the historical knowledge. We were supposed to have this conversation and deal with this on a national level in the Trayvon Martin instance. And clearly we have not. What does that mean for this country that we really have not dealt with it? Well, we have this conversation over and over again. The problem is, one, people come to the conversation with a sort of amnesia and forget that we had it before, and then also that the parameters of the conversation are so narrowly defined as to define racism as a personal hatred towards black people. And we're not then dealing with the systemic ideas that uphold racism.

48:22 racism and white supremacy in this country and then lead to the death of a Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown or Renisha McBride or Rekia Boyd. All the names and memes. Hold on. This guy is a writer for the nation. Oh, oh really? Makes sense. And a blogger. Here comes, here comes. On and on and on and on. What we haven't dealt, what we refuse to deal with. Well, you ready? Are you ready to deal with it, John? I'm ready to deal with it. is the idea of the fact that the foundation of this country is racism and white supremacy. And we are— No! Fact! Who knew? Fact!

48:57 Fact. What would you expect the host to say at this point? Oh, I suppose you say that's an outrageous assertion. You shouldn't even be on the air, let alone writing for any sort of national magazine, even though the nation's a piece of shit. Let's see if she says what they said. All of our institutions uphold that. depressing and yet it's really actually a hopeful sign that the two of you are out there amongst so many other people trying to keep this going and keep people's spirits going. Spreading these lies to keep people's spirits going. We're unbelievable. Racism and What was the second thing he said? White supremacy is the foundation of- Apparently George Washington was a member of the Ku Klux Klan early on. ...dealt what we refuse to deal with- I'm gonna hear it again, we refuse to deal- I wanna deal with it- ...is the idea of the fact that the foundation of this country is racism and white supremacy and all of our institutions uphold that. Ew. All our institutions uphold that.

50:00 What does that mean? That means that it continues to this day. It's systemic. It's systemic. You should have said that. It's because it was the foundation. What are you going to do? So what is this guy going to do about it? I don't care. Let me read his bio on the nation. Michael Smith is a douchebag and a contributing writer at the nation, a blogger at the nation, and a nobbler fellow. A nobbler? Whoa, hold on, what's a nobbler? Is it with a K? He's also a freelance writer and social commentator. His work on race, politics, social justice, pop culture, hip hop, of course.

50:42 and mental health, feminism, and black male identity has appeared in various publications including the Garbine Guardian. But you know, but John, this works so well. This racism is something that is so... You're trying to start a race war. Yeah, it really is. And I'd like to say to everybody, this is crazy. What you're seeing on TV, it really is part of a script. I mean, it's crikey. It's like, yeah, we're in the Matrix in a way. It's really true. And this is just part of it. And I don't, John, I don't think anyone sees this anymore. I don't think they see how this, yeah, okay. So there's something happened. Definitely. Pockets of it pop up everywhere. It's starting to work. And then we're going to have this, it's really, really, really divisive. You know, this, you know, this idea of white privilege, supremacy, race, come on.

51:38 We got problems, but this is not the way to solve it. It's just, I don't know, it's maddening. I don't see why people... people are stupid. There you go. You're going off. I'm going off. You're off the rails. I need to stop for one second. Miss Mickey is in Los Angeles and she's there with my Jewish handlers. Okay, you know the ones yeah the the the right those women the power lesbians. Yes the power lesbians. Yeah God they're listening. I thought they're sitting there right now, and they're gonna crunch me Can you ask John what is what is the best wine to serve with turkey right now? Oh?

52:22 Oh, I think they're in the process of needing this advice and we probably should take a break after we give this advice. That's a great idea. Great idea. Well, you know, one of the really good wines with turkey, believe it or not, is Beaujolais. And it's a refreshing wine. It cuts through the...especially most turkeys that have that turkey flavor as opposed to a good heritage bird that tastes like pheasant. But the classic turkey's got that stench. And you need a high acidity wine and I've always found the best... A Beaujolais is really good. A good Pinot would also work, but a Beaujolais would probably be the absolute best choice from a good vintage and not just cheap Beaujolais, but like a more gone or a Fleury. I'm going to help you wrap it up right now. Let's presume they have a bird that's a little stinky, but not exactly stinky enough. But I think they're going to do a pretty good job because I know Ave

53:17 I would say... She's gonna cook a great bird. A good Beaujolais, which is cheap, or if you wanna just kinda go for it, find a good, and there's lots of them, a good Oregon Pinot, that would go pretty good. An Oregon Pinot, would that be the one that would be your final choice? No, my final choice is Beaujolais. Beaujolais. You can try to make me change my mind, but I'm not gonna do it. Beaujolais, and then which one? Can you give us a year? I think the last few years are all pretty decent, so it doesn't really make any difference. Whatever you can find. Whatever you can find Beaujolais. Yeah. Fantastic. Get a couple bottles. With that, man, I want to thank you for your courage. By the way, it's good for basting. I'll say in the morning to you, John C. Dvorak. Oh, by the way, the Beaujolais could be chilled too, which adds a little dimensionality to it. Where the C stands for chef.

54:08 I'm John C. Dvorak. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not the beginning of the show. Well, in the morning to you, Adam Curry, in the morning, all the boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there. And in the morning, everybody in the chat room, even on this day of thanks, we see some of our citizens from Gitmo Nation proper showing up. Nice to see you there. NoahJennerStream.com. Thank you. And in the morning to our artists who are always helping us out with the best album art in the business, Nick The Rat. Had a nice piece. Scored! He did. Scored for us. And that's funny because the show started an hour early but apparently Nick was on the ball. Yeah. But maybe he received the bat seal. He may be a subscriber. Possibly. Yeah.

54:54 Okay, anyway, all right. We do have some people to thank you guys executive and associate executive producers for show 673 and I want to thank him now and at the top of the list is sir Don Tommaso D Toronto hey, you may who mailed in a he came in with five hundred forty three dollars and twenty one cents and he came in from Kettleby Ontario with a note That came in through email. Oh nice. Do you have I do I found it. Okay. That's was all the clacking I was doing I said I gotta get his note is it one of those really deep dish type IBM keyboards like that used to connect to the PS 2 is that kind of what I'm thinking it's a Microsoft keyboard uh-huh I'm gonna hit the return key a couple times you can hear what it sounds like

55:35 Yeah, those are not those are actually quite nice if they don't stick they have a real nice travel a nice push Yeah, no, it's a good keyboard. Yeah, but if it's a problem with this particular keyboard is that it feels good It has the right everything going on the spacing and all but the keys are so poorly printed that for example the M The ink that says M is gone. It's next to the N. Oh Yes, I see that, but the N is going. Aren't you a touch typist? Does it matter? I am a touch typist, but I'm not that good. Okay. Dear way ahead of their time guys, that refers to us, I know it's US Thanksgiving and donations may be sparse, so I'm doing my part. WRT Ferguson.

56:20 But I cannot believe the incendiary provocation that passes for news coverage by the likes of CNN. Hey, he used the incendiary word. He did. Third time I've heard it. By the likes of CNN, these people should be indicted for inciting violence. Yeah. I encourage everyone listening to today's show to contribute something, anything, if for this one reason alone, this is the only place in media that confirms some of the thoughts you, the listener, already have about some of these misrepresented current events and the motives behind them.

57:18 For today's show I will open one of my newly bottled 2013 home vinted un-oaked Merlot. Oh wait, let's drink together. I have today a three oaks Shiraz from Australia. Three euros and twenty cents. Oh brother. With a screw cap. Yes, that would be something you'd be, in other words, by the end of the show you will guaranteed have a headache. I'm going to have one more. I hear it. I want to finish the note. On Oak Merlot, organic biodynamic Ontario Canada grapes through 2013 was a pretty crappy year in a pretty crappy region, followed by some grappa distilled from the same pumice and settle it

58:03 To thoroughly enjoy your fine material, settle in to thoroughly enjoy your fine analysis. This part of you as Thanksgiving I offer you both my gratitude for hours and hours of quality news and entertainment and wish to say thank you. Thank you. See I just wanted to have, hear that description and I'm pretending that's what I'm drinking here. How is it? No. It's that, no. I can already tell. No. It's no good. No good. Nope. Anyway, Amy Pousson or Pousson, Pousson, Pousson in Clive, Iowa, $456.78. That's very nice. Best podcast in the universe got me through two months of driving from Des Moines to Bettendorf, Iowa, all settled in a new house and new job in the Des Moines area. Keep up the great work, boys.

58:58 And all she wants is a boom shaka laka kid version. Yeah, I can imagine if you're moving It's just you or you just moving in general and you know you back and forth. You know we were her friends We were kind of like virtual part of the moving team. Yeah, that's true. Hopefully she'll still listen it no She's not driving so much. I'm gonna add a karma to it if you don't mind I think she can have You've got karma It's been four days since I heard the kid. I missed him already Robert I guess it's Rita or white out Rita Rita, but a WIE we'd be in New York City

59:42 for 32. And all he says is just he's donated because of the newsletter pic. Which LOL. Now that brings us to the question, which pic? Yeah. I think it was the Megan Kelly photo. Yeah. I read that article that you put. That was a good article. I like that about the the news models. Yeah. Now I think it was the dog and the cat at the bottom. The dog and the cat picture was good, but the Megyn Kelly pic was I think a little more interesting. Nice heels by the way. Well, she was still a bit untrained.

1:00:20 No, she was obviously never a model. But she was trying to be. And what's the point of that? Is that seat that uncomfortable? That's why I was going to put a caption, trying to sit in an uncomfortable chair. What's the reason for squirming all around like that? People should be subscribing to the newsletter, we'll know what we're talking about. Exactly. Then finally, oh, yes, yes. So David Foley, he's Grand Duke of the United States, $333.33 out of San Jose. The capital of the United States apparently. Happy Thanksgiving from the greats, what? Oh, he's in Maine.

ITM John and Adam enjoying the great work of you two doing with the Deconstructing Current events and the best podcast in the universe.

1:02:10 Prepper friends here in Texas. Haha our stockpiling weapons and ammo. Oh, yeah for the police state. We're there with you, brother Boxes first of all, let's start to make something clear the police state that he says the police state that is about to come as a result of the Ferguson protest. Yeah, it's here. It's here. Yeah, I And don't get what's the point of stockpiling anything. I think what he means, which is not going to happen, but what he's talking about is martial law. This is the kind of the conspiracy... Oh, this is all those other guys that do shows that try to deconstruct news stories. Yeah, yeah. They talk about martial law. And iodine pills. Yeah. So that is not what is happening. It is very... Seeds. Buy seeds.

1:02:54 And it's a early see horrible food storable food it canned foods. Yeah You know these guys look we're not yeah, we're making fun of you. We are yes. We are Because that really is just not going to happen. Maybe a couple generations down the line. It'll just be I mean it'll be so deteriorated. It'll that'll just be life and It's not going to be like one big event that's just, hey, it was cheaper to have this dried food. It does make a good point here, though. Yeah. I had to think twice about donating since I could have bought a lot of bullets with this donation. Yeah. But I instead, I felt the money would be better spent by donating to the show since the two of you seem to be dead on on what's going to happen next. Hope you all have enough ammo to weather the storm.

1:03:52 Okay, I mean I don't want them to be too freaked out. You know be a prep. I'll be prepared as good We have all kinds of stuff that will need to be prepared for but it's not gonna be some kind of apocalyptic moment that'll fit inside 20 minute episode of revolution my favorite thing that you see this occasion is that You know, because I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, so you hear this on the, even on the news. Oh, you have to have an earthquake kit. Oh, make sure you have like, like a, like 20 gallons of water, shortwave radio, flies and a radio crank radio. You can crank, crank, crank. Which you can get from NPR. You can get that from NPR, your, your crank, your hand crank radio and flashlight combo. Crank, crank, crank. And so all this stuff that I'm thinking to myself, no,

1:04:38 I get in my car, I go down the highway, I drive to Sacramento and check into a motel. Why do I need all this crap for? And I go to some restaurants while I'm up there. This is bull crap. Sir, no, let me just continue. We don't- We made our point. Sir Norman McDonough in Woodstock, Ontario two three four five six now this I want to discuss Occasionally I mentioned the random number three where things happen in bunches if you actually do a random number generator and make a chart of time and You know like a time analysis start chart when the numbers crop up and how they crop up and you look at it in 3d you'll see like planes of numbers the and this would have counts for

1:05:26 runs at the crap table. You know, somebody makes 25 passes out of the blue, then it never happens again in the lifetime of the table. This donation from Sir Norman McDonough, 23456, was the immediate, within seconds, of the Sir Otaku 23456 donation, with nothing in between. And these are the only two 23456 donations, and unless they were coordinating with each other, only the random number three explains this phenomenon. Coincidence or not? Read the book now from Timeline. It went like this, the donations came in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!

1:06:09 Bang, bang, bang, and the rest of them were just real random. It was just very strange. When this happened, did you dance a little jig? No, but I called in Mimi. And did you say, Mimi, Mimi, Mimi? Check this out! You won't believe what I'm seeing here. Nice. You kids are cute. I'll read the note. That Sir Norman and happy US Thanksgiving. May I have a reverend Al not knowing the difference between Ottawa and Iowa. But good luck finding that. Followed by Hillary shouting, what difference does it make? Followed by and her head is gone. If can't find it, any Reverend L selection will do. Let me go to you first. What's the latest tonight in Iowa? Well, in Ottawa, well, the situation is less tense than before. At this point, does it make and her head is gone? There's no real conflict.

1:07:06 You've got karma. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. How'd I do? Nice. Sir, DH Slay, you could have potted up Hillary a little bit. Well, I'm on the mobile. Yeah, I got the small, the small mixer. Small mixer. You just, sir, DH Slammer. What difference does it make? 234 at this point, what difference does it make? 23433 donation is a dollar for every episode since I was hit in the mouth by luck. By luck dragon via zero hedge, chat x2. Okay, plus 33 because happy TG to the best podcasters in the universe and metatont a Chumash for may you walk in peace to all the no agenda producers sending turkey day love to my ruler according to Adam Dame bang bang and all three bang slammer ankle biters You all know the world to me you all mean the world to me and you're the only reason I show up to work every day and

Now I think David has sent me like a million tweets. He was drunk and then he wasn't drunk. Now Pete, I'm not so sure what I'm supposed to... Here it is. I got it. David Cotte 233.33 from Malibu, California. Do not read this part of the... You have some complicated complaint which we don't understand. No, I understand it very well. Okay, you do good. But... Here's to the best podcast in the universe. I'm still promoting the film Aftermath which comes out tomorrow at the Quad Cinema. Which I hear is a dynamite film, right John? I don't know. Right John? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:09:05 Perfect for the no agenda listeners. Let me first talk about Thomas for own the writer and director He has an eye like Stanley Kubrick and writes like in the vein vein of Quentin Tarantino Aftermaths and an intimate look at the world gone mad with many memorable characters Anthony Michael Hall brilliantly portrays the epitome of an American alpha male driven by less greed and power balanced by Chris Penn's heartbreaking real portrait of a simple man. I really can't wait to see Anthony Michael Hall again in something, right John? Yeah, I think it'd be great. Right? Dave LaDouche. Is the actual name of our... By the way, I went to see Birdman. Yeah, is it any good? It's astonishingly entertaining. It's a fantastic film. If you don't like it, you're soulless. It is a great, great movie. Hey, you can see if they can put that on the TV commercial. If you don't like it, you're soulless. John C. Dvorak, No Agenda podcast. They could do that. They could have that on the billboards. That's a great quote.

1:10:06 It is a great question. How do you do that? How do you go market that? I don't care to. No, listen, we could be on billboards because they'll say John C. Dvorak no agenda podcast.

You'll be an executive producer.

1:18:29 associate executive producer, I'm sorry, and remind you that we do have a show on Sunday in a short week and everyone's going to... Now, this is the problem. Now, from today, tomorrow, everyone's on vacation, everyone's still on vacation on Saturday. Nobody will be listening to the show on Sunday. Dvorak.org slash NA and see if we can get some support for that show besides you. Why will no one be listening? Because they're gone. They're having fun. They're at the beach. They're on a boat. They're doing water skiing. They're digging out from the snow if they're back east. They're freezing their butts off if they're in some places where they really aren't used to this sort of weather that they're having back there. You know, who knows? They just won't... We'll see.

1:19:13 I beg you to help us for the next show. Wow, that kind of threw me for a loop there. I'm like, no one's going to listen. But I was thinking, you know, I'm rushing home. For a loop. I'm frying, I'm frying home tomorrow. Tomorrow? Really? Yeah, because I'm home Friday night and then Saturday I can prep and get up early Sunday and do the show. Yeah, my life is, I mold my life around this activity known as the show. So on Friday you're flying, well you get, yeah, but you pick up time flying from the, you're flying from Holland to Atlanta. Listen, what's that, so Mickey, before she left for LA all the toilets were clogged. I thought she was in LA when you left. No, no I left first, she left. Does Mickey know how to use a plunger? I think this may be a little more severe. I think it's something structural in the

1:20:07 That was not a very... that was a very condescending way you said that, by the way. I'm sorry, Mickey. Yeah, you should be. You'd be ashamed of yourself. Yeah, she could take that plunger and she would suck the life through your a-hole. Well, I'm just saying it's possible you don't have a plunger in the place. I'll bet you don't. Onward. Alright. I bet you're right. Usually just put my fist in you know I just then I put my foot my hand flat onto the to the hole I do with my hands. I've never used my no I have a plunger Plunger around somewhere. Yeah, we have a plunger, but I'm not quite sure where I wound up after the move

1:20:50 Yeah, so I wouldn't know it's an essential tool. You're right. It's stupid. I don't know where the plunger is, but she knows how to use it is my point. Okay. I just was asking. Now, come on. You're reading too much into this. It's like email. It's a problem with email. But I'm talking, you're hearing me. I'm hearing what you said. This is not like email at all. It's exactly the same. All right. All right, everybody, thank you very much. And yes, as John pointed out, these are real credits. I don't know if you pointed out, he said... No, I never pointed out, you pointed out. This is going to be no one listening on Sunday as you pointed out. Yes. I am pointing out that these credits are real and that we appreciate the support that our executive producers and associate executive producers have given us. We'll have a larger segment later on. And yes, indeed, we will need all the support we can get for this upcoming show.

1:21:40 And even as you're hanging out, well actually with your family, why not try to propagate the formula today? Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Shut up, Sleep. John doesn't realize it merely helps you dodge a bullet, my friend. Thanks. Yeah, you're welcome. Because I could expect a sharp punch in the arm. Yeah. From Mimi. You mean I can't use a plunger. Boom! Yeah, you better be very careful where you walk, my friend.

1:22:20 Well, we're going to finish the Ferguson stuff. I got a bunch of clips. Yes. No, I'd love to. So we had my. my European kind of response, they're just not buying it. This propaganda doesn't work on the Europeans. It doesn't. It's not about them. It's about the Democrats versus the Republicans. Which is exactly why it's so obvious what is going on, that it is tailored propaganda. Because there's... Yeah, to get people to vote, in this case, were Democrats. Yes. Because those evil Republicans, they're always cited as such. The racist Republicans. Yes, this is what... Yes, yes. From the South. The crazy apparently the founding fathers are all Republicans apparently really really that's amazing listen the way they explain things and where they all like racist there were slaveholders I forgot not all of them that's not true I'm just being a and you see correspondent right now

1:23:15 Alright, now we have a bunch of we can play the Brian I got the NBC's rollout Here's the intro the Brian Williams intro so we can get it Especially the international audience and the Australians probably don't we don't have any input from what they're thinking probably nothing Which would be right funny. I have nothing from down under good Brian Williams intro a cold night here in Ferguson, Missouri the epicenter of it all last night It was along this very stretch of roadway that the finding of a grand jury was Converted to violence that raged here last night and make no mistake. It was urban combat There are still shell casings here underfoot a police command. Hold on a second urban combat

1:24:00 Yeah, shell casings underfoot. There's no evidence. He's walking along, he's stepping on shells. There's no evidence of an urban combat. Yeah, yeah. ...said last night that first volley of tear gas they fired was because officers encountered so many guns within the crowd they were worried they may not make it out of there. Some of the protesters then turned to forcible entry. Then the looting and the fire started. Cars and businesses, mostly 25 structures torched in all. 82 arrests were made last night. All of it because a grand jury did not return an indictment against the white police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager. There were protests in other cities last night as well, but nothing like this. And tonight we know more.

1:24:49 about the grand jury proceeding and the toll from what happened here. You know, in a way though, John, and I know that I made this conclusion a couple of shows ago, just being out here, and I've been talking to cab drivers and Uber drivers, Uber drivers, these are the ones you want to talk to. And they all universally agree that what has been happening over here with the Black Pete situation, is really just a byproduct of people being incredibly mad about stuff. Just mad. Or no job, or both, you know? Black Pete! Then you go make a big fuss about, essentially, I said essentially, but fictitious characters.

1:25:39 Let's make a fuss about a fictitious character. It's a fairy tale. It's for kids. That's absolutely the case. I felt it was the same thing in Ferguson. It's pent-up hostility. I thought it was interesting to play the clip about the militarization of the police, which pisses people off. They don't need to be going in. Every time I bring this up at the table here, Mimi always chimes in with, and every cop when they do anything, they shoot a dog. There's like so many documented cops go in, the dog barks, they shoot the dog. And so there's dog shootings, which doesn't endear the police to anybody. Why are they shooting dogs? Oh, the dog snarled, the dog growled, the dog felt threatened by the dog. I'm just going to take the police side of this, if you don't mind, just for argument's sake, so it can be a little controversial to each other.

1:26:28 You know, these guys, they're hyped up. They're completely hyped. I read the memos they get and all this, and the fusion centers and all this stuff. In their world, in their brain, it's just coming apart at the seams too, you know? And then you have all this real violence and people killing each other on a daily basis in their city, and that's black-on-black crime, and they're frustrated. So I do understand that side of the argument, but all in all, everything that's being portrayed in the mainstream media is only to just make us crazy. Well, I'm not going to argue the point, but the police do not need SWAT teams to deliver a simple subpoena or whatever. But they've been made crazy about it. To the tune of 100 a day. I can't wait for mine. It's going to be very interesting.

1:27:24 Yeah, they'll be outside and then of course there's this... what is it called when there's a name for this where you call the police? Swatting. Swatting. Swatting. This is a phenomenon, I don't think in Europe or any place else they do this we should explain what it is. Swatting is some joker pranking someone by claiming like there's terrorists or they got a kidnapping situation or something's happening at their house and then they give the address and hang up and the SWAT team shows up. Clam drives the machine through the door. Flash bangs are going on. Kills your dog. Kills the dog and then they find some guy watching television. Yeah, but

1:28:06 These, this is what happens. You know how they said, it won't happen here. Here we go. This is exactly what this is about. How did the German population become the way it's been written? Let me put it that way. And that atrocities could take place. Yeah, this is how it happens where you all sit around and you just get complacent and whatever. And then you just, okay, it's fine. And then you're in the middle of it. You can't get out? We're not free. We live under martial law all the time. There's all kinds of stupid rules. Never mind. Yeah, there's an excessive. Okay, let's go back to some of these clips. Yes. Since they haven't stopped us yet. Move me along. Since they haven't, yeah, no SWAT yet. By the way, just as a slight kind of a sidebar here. Yes. I'm going to ask you something. It's almost like an ask them. This is part of this because I picked this. I was listening to this theme, the opening theme for NBC Nightly News, and this is the NBC Nightly News, is this

1:29:10 modern and listen, this is, I want you to listen to this with it in mind that we're in this 2014, we're going to be 2015. And Jetsons, Jetsons era we're in. Listen to this, the way they open the show and, and answer me. Yes. Is this modern broadcasting is supposed to sound like this? Can I do my jingle then first, since you have an actual question, should I do the jingle after the, I'll do the sound clip first. Here we go. And. This is NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams reporting tonight from Ferguson, Missouri. The question was, is this a modern

1:30:00 What would you call it? Jingle? Intro. Yeah, yeah, intro. And I will answer that by no. However, it has all the classic elements of the NBC sound logo. It has the bombastic brass. that signals imperialistic important information coming your way and it has a feel of velvet gates of love opening up as we see Brian Williams come to us. I like this imperialistic thing because it sounds like a military thing. Yeah, you want to hear it again because that's exactly what it is. I think this is old-fashioned and stupid.

1:30:44 It's almost equal to the Olympics. This is NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams reporting tonight from Ferguson, Missouri. In fact, I think they probably got this as a... they threw it in with the Olympics package for him when they made the... you know how that works, you know, they have a whole jingle package made. And they said, we threw in a Brian Williams thing for you, with the big bombastic militaristic... He's gonna be standing there. The Imperial News. See if you like it. Yeah, the Imperial News. That's what it should be. Welcome to the Imperial News, citizens! That's what it sounds like. Yeah, well I know, but... The Imperial News. Let's see where the Imperial... That's where the NBC is from now on. The Imperial News. The Imperial News from NBC. Here's the NBC analysis of Ferguson. Hold on a second. I'm still writing down Imperial News.

1:31:35 show title. Yeah, we have to do these things on the fly. Okay, NBC, what was it? Analysis of Ferguson. Sorry, I'm back with you. Ron, thanks. Last night in the skies overhead, arriving commercial flights were turned away from the St. Louis airport due to the threat of stray gunfire into the skies. something we're used to seeing in places like Baghdad. And the vests and helmets our personnel brought here are exactly those that we wore in Baghdad. This violence was sparked by the widespread feeling that Jeb... I wish he would have said it one more time. I almost have the whole Baghdad visual. Did you have it yet? Was it in your head? Did you get it? Were you in the desert? Yeah, and then he's talked about the helmets and all the cops are wearing the same helmets. He's a surplus. I'm seeing, yeah, I'm seeing now where you are Taliban now. Justice wasn't done here. People are asking all day long if there's any other remedy, federal or otherwise, which brings us to our justice correspondent Pete Williams. And Pete, is there any such thing as a do-over in this case?

1:32:37 No, this can't be undone or redone. The state criminal case is closed and the way the grand jury was conducted was very unusual because prosecutors don't normally give grand jurors both sides of a case. But the federal government is still investigating the shooting to see if there's enough evidence to prosecute Officer Wilson for violating Michael Brown's civil rights, even so to bring a federal case The Justice Department would have to show that a police officer used excessive force willfully, meaning on purpose, with the knowledge that it was wrong. Federal prosecutors did bring just such a charge in 1991 against LA police officers for beating Rodney King, but they had videotaped to help prove their case. There's no video of what happened in Ferguson. The federal government would in essence have to prove that Officer Wilson did not think he was in danger and that would be very difficult.

1:33:25 The family of Michael Brown could still bring a civil lawsuit against Officer Wilson, which would have a lower standard of proof than in a criminal case. And the Justice Department is also investigating the entire Ferguson Police Department, which could lead to court orders changing how it conducts itself. Okay, you can kill it from there. Yeah, it's dead. Not to go back to the Imperial news thing, but you know they're paying Brian Williams 14, this is still on topic, they're paying this guy 14 plus million dollars a year and I think it, whether it's worth it or not, at least they could bring their game up, you think, with their correspondence. The rest of some of the, they have the Imperial aspect, but

1:34:07 Then it gets really cheesy. Now, I want to play this clip. This is called, here I put MBC Amateur Hour. This is the reporter that put the package together, and the package is fine, and he seems to be a good editor, but he sounds like he's in high school. And this is the network guy. Right now, Ferguson police are gearing up to protect their headquarters should there be more violence. We begin our coverage here with NBC's Miguel Almaguer. Miguel, good evening. Brian, good evening. On several city blocks across the city and including this block right here, you can smell smoke in the air. Many buildings are still smoldering tonight. The street behind me, this neighborhood has been shut down. Police not allowing the public in because they are concerned what buildings haven't been looted

1:34:51 will be attacked tonight. Protesters say they are ready. Police are also braced for conflict. Tonight in Ferguson, the cleanup. Hope it don't happen again tonight. What am I listening for here? It's a very long clip, you know, it's like three minutes. No, you can kill it anytime you want. I'm just listening to the way it's, I just think it's cheesy. When you start listening to the package, which is now running... Yeah, that was pretty much template though for all of the networks. I saw it. This is what I saw. Something about the presentation. I'd like a little more gravitas from my reporters at the network level. Yeah, okay. I gotcha. I see. You don't think... Nah, you just get irked about how much money Brian Williams is making. I can hear it in your voice.

1:35:32 Well, that's probably... You're pissed off about that. I'm not. That's not any money out of my pocket. I'm not playing a zero-sum game with Brian Williams. No, I thought maybe there was a little twinge of envy? Perhaps. Okay. But then let's jump to somebody else making even more money, which would be Sharpton in Ferguson. Oh, I'm sorry. Hold on. And why is Sharpton in Ferguson? Of course, we know the answer to that. But it just annoys me. This does annoy me. We will continue to fight for a new level of accountability of policing in this country. And what is he going to do about that exactly? Talk.

1:36:24 Michael Brown will not be remembered for the ashes from buildings burned in Ferguson. He will be remembered for new legislation and the upholding of law that protects citizens in the country. Let me also remind you, for over 100 days, young people, older people, people of all races marched and rallied in this city. And they did it peacefully and non-violently. Yes, those that got

1:37:01 Violent last night those that acted in a destructive manner. All right, that's enough. Yeah, that is kind of enough. You should be trimming this stuff down, man. I don't have the resources here. I have one little thing to add to this. This was some stunning bit of clarity from CNN with actual truth and this helps underscore our analysis of the the setup really.

1:37:43 Listen, if this prosecutor wanted to bring a case, he would have just brought it himself that this was punting. You keep hearing the word punting to put this on a grand jury. Yeah. Now it's not all that simple after you've done a grand jury, but yeah, I think the prosecutor could do, had a number of options. This is all just more theater. Well, but it's actual stuff gets ruined, but yeah, it is theater. It's just, it's captured where there's no reason. And by the way, John, can I just ask you? From a theatrical television production standpoint. We need whoever We hired to do the set that is you know the art design everything art director the art director Thank you, but you know I died just always called the set set guy or gal set guy Yeah, the season's greetings thing above the street fucking dynamite That was what a nice touch

1:38:40 Really really nice. Yeah, that was put up there specifically for the riots. That wasn't greed. That was so nice. I was just sitting there going... That was good. I actually would like to have had that clipped and I'll put it in the newsletter if I can find a copy. I think it was more than subtle. You know, I was like, hey. No, it was dynamite. It was dynamite. It really worked. It really, really worked for me. And it's because it's Thanksgiving season. You know, there's no riot tonight. I'm going to riot tonight. Crazy Thanksgiving. We're done. Work is done. The people believe it. Yeah, move on. He's on the plane. He's a long-session. Sharpton's on the jet back. His private jet. Yeah, no, it's all good. It's all good. It is. Well, along with this, the police state, there's a number of things were passed in the past few days, past few weeks, actually. There's also a very crazy house bill that passed

1:39:34 Oh, no, I think actually the president signed it about a whole reset of which departments will no longer have to report on certain things. It's just a deduction of all these reporting responsibilities, but there's just hundreds of them. You know, so much to go through. We need people to like get on that beat and look at stuff like that. I just don't have the time in the day to look at that. I'm sort of moving, yeah, you don't have to report on that anymore. And who knows what these were? But as a part of that, we have this update from the Department of Defense, and they are changing some of their wording. And words matter here on the NOA Agenda Show. They're changing the definition, here it is, the military treatment of detained persons

1:40:31 We had unlawful enemy combatants is what it always was. We know that, right? Yeah. That term has been retired and now replaced by unprivileged enemy belligerents. What? Yes. Well, that stinks. Because I think we are belligerent. They have some interesting terminology. They have to be targeting podcasters, belligerent podcasters, pissed off about $14 million salaries. So they have these detainee categories, which I just wanted to share with you for a minute. The word detainee includes any person captured, detained, or otherwise under the control of the Department of Defense personnel, which could be the guys at Grand Central Station, for all I know, I guess, the Department of Defense.

1:41:20 In general, a person who is engaged in hostilities against the U.S. or its multinational partners during an armed conflict. Let's stop for a minute. Yes, sir. They have a... I'm enlisted. You don't have to call me sir. As you were, private. It was this a past... This is just terminology, a new terminology bill so that the Defense Department now has to use these terms instead of the other terms. And then I would suspect that it goes to the AP style guys. And then so the media is gonna start using the same things instead of making it up as they go along, which they never do, by the way, they use the official wordage.

1:42:00 little cooler than that because they have actually not just changed words for existing definitions, they've changed definitions of what a belligerent is and under what circumstances a belligerent can be picked up, which is pretty much, you know, you farted wrong. Then we have retained personnel And there's a really big one coming up. So let me read through these top two descriptions. So we have belligerent, which is no longer combatant, but everything that used to be legal for the US Department of Defense to do to you if you were a combatant is now for if you're a belligerent.

1:42:42 And if you look at the word belligerent, it doesn't say that it has to be during an armed conflict. But okay, in general a person who is engaged in hostilities against the US or its multinational partners during an armed conflict. The term belligerent includes both privileged belligerent and unprivileged enemy belligerent. And the difference, you are a privileged belligerent if you are wearing a uniform of the other guys. And it literally describes this in great detail, where you have to have a rank and a serial, you know, your serial number and all this stuff. And you have to be a part of a nation state. That's when you are a privileged belligerent and you are protected under the Geneva Convention, I guess. But if you're an unprivileged enemy belligerent, if you have no affiliation, if you're a lone wolf,

1:43:36 Nobody's going to use the word privileged belligerent in the media. The US picked up 35 privileged belligerents today. Well, we'll see. We'll see. Then we have retained personnel, an individual who is described by Article 28 of the Geneva Convention for the amelioration... amelioration? Yeah. Amelioration. What is that? Amelioration. Amelioration is like a problem that has been kind of solved over a period of time and it's been, it's a resolution, it's a resolved situation. Look it up. Okay, for the resolved situation of the condition of the wounded and sick in armed forces in the field. So that's about treatment of prisoners who are ill or sick. And then the third one, which caught my eye, civilian internee.

1:44:34 and that is any civilian, including those described by Article 4 of the Geneva Convention, relative to the protection of civilian persons in time of war, who is in the custody or control of the Department of Defense during an armed conflict or occupation, such as those held for imperative reasons of security or protection. So we have now the FEMA camps, bring it on! Civilian internee. I guess they need the term. Hmm. I found that to be what do we call these guys bill? I don't know let's look it up The civilian intern okay, I figured it out. I have an internship with the Department of Defense Huh yeah, I know oh, so hegel Yeah, I got a couple lips, and I just smacked my lips. He did it was quite annoying So let's play hegel one so we get a background around this all right wow it's hegel. I think hegel with an ha

1:45:39 You like Hagel like she's... Oh yeah, I'm... Katherine Hagel. Hegelian. Now to a major shakeup in the Obama administration, the resignation of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. The move comes as the U.S. expands its mission to go after the Islamic State group, and just weeks after the president's disappointing midterm election results. It's been the greatest privilege of my life. The greatest privilege of my life to lead and most important to serve, to serve with the men and women of the Defense Department and support their families. Hagel's announcement came amid widespread reports that he's leaving under pressure after 21 months on the job. Publicly at least, President Obama offered only praise.

1:46:28 That's an understatement, what she just said there about rumors. I mean, the New York Times stuck a skewer in this guy's butt and shoved until it came out of the top of his head. Did you read that? Yeah, it was terrible. And I was trying to figure out why he's quitting. And so PBS NewsHour contributed nothing with this Hagel 2 clip. It was just like vague. They never mentioned names. And then it showed up on Fox, of course, but Plaguey Hagel too. But the underlying problem will still remain. The Secretary of Defense will still have to articulate policy decisions made by a very small circle in the White House. So whether it's a happier face or a more convincing presentation of that, maybe that's possible. But you'll still have to sell the same message.

1:47:15 And meaning what? Well, it means that the war policy is going to be limited to do the minimum amount possible. The defense budget, approach to the defense budget is not going to change. The White House is sort of happy with the way things are. So, whoever follows Secretary Hagel's position, you know, who has the job will still have the same task at hand to try to carry out. So, PJ Crowley, we don't look for significant policy change or tweaking with the news events? I don't think, I agree with Tom, I don't think this was about disagreements with policy or strategy. But I think we also should be, we should recognize that this is a very, very tough job. You can stop.

1:47:58 It is about that. In fact, it then finally comes out what the problem is and this is the next clip which is Hagel versus with obviously the the real secretary of defense, Susan Rice, the twerp. Hagel had been standing up to Susan Rice and had sent a memo, in fact, over to the White House suggesting that the White House policy against ISIS needed to take into account removing Bashar Assad. There were those, that tension between Susan Rice and Chuck Hagel that came out through the press. Again, we'll get more details as the day goes on, but there have been rumors to this effect for several weeks, especially in light of the election results.

1:48:55 Right. Which I said, you know, nice guy. He's been in combat. Don said, yeah, he's been wounded. You know, he seems like he has all that, but no, he's weak. He's doing nothing. He's just being set up to end the sequestration. He's not going anywhere. And so I forwarded Don the New York Times article, just thinking, I think I said, hey, happened earlier than I predicted. Something, you know, douchey like that. And he responded. Quote, would you want to hear what he said? Of course. I just want to beg for it. All right, quote, Washington is a very tough town and this is a penetrating article. I had sensed all the things that it alluded to during Hegel's tenure. Too bad. Don't you love that? No fan of Hegel. Too bad.

1:49:55 Washington really is horrible. We got I want to mention that my use of the word twerp. Yes, please Because people have been no no no you hate short people one one guy one guy's come up a new big fan of ours And he says you know it's a short. You know using the word twerp, and I tried to explain to him that twerp is not Necessary I mean twerps generally short, but I can see, you know, mid-size and even tall twerps. A twerp is a type of person, not a height of a person. There's plenty of tough, small guys and, you know, all sorts of statures, but a twerp is a twerp. It's like a person that's twerpy. They're mousy and they're kind of creepy and they're like a person you just immediately dislike.

1:50:41 on appearance because of the way they carry themselves and the way they act and the stuff that they do. And that's where that word comes from to me. And that's when I refer to Twerp. I do not... Yeah, and she is short. There's no doubt about it. And that makes it even more obvious that she's a Twerp. And, you know, we are very serious about our words here in the No Agenda family. And if I look up the definition of Twerp, the definition is a silly, weak-minded or contemptible person. It says nothing about height or any body stature for that matter. Therefore you sir, one man complainer, you're in contempt! And you know who you are.

1:51:23 Yes, even the slang version, an insignificant or despicable person. Nothing! It is merely your own vertical challenge issues that have you all up in arms about this. Yes. And by the way, as I pointed out, being too tall or tall above average height has disadvantages that are never discussed. Yeah, I believe that's probably true. You see that when you go to the big and tall place. Yeah. People trying to find these sizes. How many times have you hit your head on a low doorway or something that's just... Clunk. Oh. That said, of course, you know, we rule the universe. So Susan Rice, who is contemptible, just by her very being, is a twerp. Yes.

1:52:13 Alright, anyway onward and you had yes more. Hey, go ahead. That's dumb. That's all the whole thing So he's gone to be some other that I did get this clip which is who some woman who's apparently sharp this Flournoy. Who is Flournoy? Flournoy is a funny little clip I thought. It actually triggered my doing further research. Also today, former Undersecretary of Defense Michelle Flournoy has asked the president not to consider her for Secretary of Defense. She led the list of potential replacements for Chuck Hagel, who's resigning. But she's told the board of a Washington think tank that she'll stay there as CEO, citing family considerations.

1:52:56 You know, she'd be ruined if she took that job. She probably doesn't like Susan Rice. No kidding. Who is she? She's a... she was a deputy secretary of defense under somebody or one of the guys. Okay. Pre-Hagel, I think, maybe not. So, Susan Rice. And she runs... she's on a think tank. She's a spook. Okay, so we have to figure out what's going on with Susan Rice. Where does she get her power? You know, what's her deal? What's her background? How's she connected? Valerie Jarrett. Wow, really? Obviously, they look very similar. Oh yeah, you're so right. You're so right. Well, you think... That's Valerie Jarrett running the place, Susan Wright's her buddy, she's the one who tried to get into Secretary of State, and then along with the mother-in-law, those three probably run the whole show. Obama doesn't do shit, he's just pushed around by all these women. All right, Rush Limbaugh. Over in Gitmo Nation East, new powers have been announced.

1:53:56 New powers, John, new laws, which are, I mean, these are just fantastic. I've often said the United Kingdom is the beta test for everything we're going to see, certainly in the United States, but around the world. as this is really... I've lived in the UK, so I'm allowed to talk about this with some authority. I've been five years in the UK. It's a police state. Cameras everywhere, everything is being tracked. There's no escaping it. And now these new powers, which of course are incredibly important, are going to give the authorities the power to stop you from leaving the country because they have to question you about why you're going somewhere.

1:54:45 Why? Yeah, well that's exactly what they're gonna do. Why? This of course is... This is to combat terrorism as people are going to Syria and to become radicalized and hardened in battle as a member of IS, IS, IS, IS, ISIL. Oh, I like that other one I heard in your clip, the Islamic State Group. like the drifters or something. Yeah, LTD. And now everybody, the Islamic State Group, LTD. Take it away guys. Gang, as Casey Kasem would say. And so this had to be announced, of course, you know, there's copies of these, and I'm not sure it's, this is, it's had the second reading, so it's not law yet, but

1:55:38 Let me play for you a clip from Theresa May. She is the Secretary of the Homeland, of the home, the Home Secretary, and she is in charge of protecting the homeland. And I just want you to listen to how she, her statement on this, how she actually starts to tear up about the importance of being able to question you on the street where you're going, have to have all communications of every website your IP address has to be connected to, each server log has to be passed on, and this is all in this legislation. And listen to how she's selling it to you as if she is saving the world. This legislation is important. The substance is right, the time is right, and the way in which it has been developed is right.

1:56:29 It is not a knee-jerk response to a sudden perceived threat. It is a properly considered, thought through set of proposals that will help to keep us safe at a time of very significant danger. It builds on a successful strategy. It goes with the grain of existing policy. It has been drawn up in close consultation with the police and security services. It is deliberately focused on practical measures that we can be confident will work. And it broadly commands cross-party support. In an open and free society like ours, we can never entirely eliminate the threat from terrorism. But we must do everything possible, consistent with our values as a country, to reduce the risk presented by our enemies. The government's policy, our counter-terrorism strategy and this legislation all aim to do just that. We are engaged in a struggle that is fought on many fronts and in many forms.

1:57:30 It is a struggle that will go on for many years. And the threat we face right now is perhaps greater than it ever has been. And we must have the powers we need to defend ourselves. And that's the story! Wow, what a crock. Yeah, so if people are allowing that to be the explanation for what is happening... Have you ever read The Patriot Act? Yeah, yeah, of course. But we didn't have all that cool cyber stuff in it. And this has all of that in there. And they could, you know, especially schools, the schools have to be wide open so the authorities could check in and see if they're not being radicalized by teachers. Yeah, it's crazy. OK, but that's what it is. That's what it is. We just be kept crazy with that stuff, I guess. Yeah, that's what they do. Yeah. Let me see. I got a miscellaneous interim clip you can throw in.

1:58:31 This would be like an ass game. See if we can catch the gaffe. I shouldn't even do this clip. But it should anyway. You know the ACDC drummer is busted. Well, yeah, two weeks ago, yes, for trying to kill a guy, for trying to hire a guy to kill a guy. Here's a report. I want you to see if you can spot the gaffe and when you do you can stop the clip. ACDC drummer Phil Ride showed up late for a court appearance in New Zealand this morning. The six year old is charged. Right there. The six year old. He got it in six seconds. I was six year. Oh you got the two words came out after okay, which with threatening to kill as well as you don't play it It's just bullcrap Yeah, it was like that was totally unnecessary

1:59:16 I just want to see if you can catch the gaffe. This is a new segment called Catch the Gaffe. And how many words follow the gaffe up to 10? If he gets to 10, then you lose. Okay, good. That would be the way the game's played. I've been following for you while you're getting gaffe clips, following what's going on over here. The European Central Bank, the interest rate here is at zero. It is? I'm pretty sure it's just about zero, yeah. Oh, well, good work. Yeah, so something has to be done. Good work, Central Bank USA. Good work, we got them. Got them where we want them. Now what? Now what? Well, our buddy, the drunker, the junker, Jean-Claude Junker, here in the Euroland zone, he's come up with a plan.

2:00:09 John, it's got a plan. And this is a magical plan where there will somehow be 315 billion euros will be flowing into the economy of the Euro land zone with this plan, which is a structural plan and it is for, you'll never guess, what do you think they need in Europe? If you were going to flow 315 billion euros... High speed rail. It's so dumb that you won't even guess it. sewage treatment plants. It might be part of it, but they're just talking about infrastructure. Yeah, okay, roads. Roads. Which is the last thing they...that's what they did the last time. They built all these roads that no one's on. More roads. More roads. It's all about infrastructure. And I wanted to play this a bit of Jean-Claude Juncker, the drunkard.

2:01:02 It has an EU translator's voice over his. But I kind of like that instead of me reading it, because it's kind of funny to listen to someone reading or translating on the fly. Translation, I think, is pretty good. Just listen to this plan and then I can break down a little bit of the elements of it, because it sounds like he's going to throw 315 billion euros into the economy. Of course, the question is, where does that come from, John? comes from the taxpayers. Yeah, well that would be impossible to do a bill like that. Well, they just ding them, they charge, buy their own bonds. I don't know. I don't know what their mechanism is, but this is essentially, and I said essentially, this is the same as our earlier technique to just jerk up a dead economy by throwing money at it by buying our own bonds. Well, here's what's cool about it.

2:01:55 This is going to be a public-private partnership, so this is an invitation for the private sector to invest along with the European government, governments and collective government in Brussels, to collectively raise 21 billion euros And the way they think this is going to happen is that 5 billion will come from private enterprise and 16 billion will come from the individual euro states. And then that will be a 1 to 15 leverage through the banks to borrow up to 315 billion euros, which is exactly their plan, right? I said, right.

2:02:44 That's their plan to have the banks facilitate this. And that 1 into 15 multiplier, I don't think, that's unheard of this. I don't know what they're up to. I don't know how unheard of that is. It's quite a... It sounds like there's something scamish about it. Let's listen to Junker here. Structural reforms need to continue being introduced, but we need a third pillar, a third lung, if you like, and that is investment. So we have set up this investment plan, and we've been looking at investments over the past, and to tell you the truth,

2:03:25 At the end of the dramatic phase of financial difficulties, we expected recovery to come faster. But recovery did not come faster. So here's the admission that all their plans, the recovery just didn't happen. It didn't come. It's not here. We failed. And now we have. They screwed up completely. We did it the right way with the quantitative easing, which is just inject a bunch of random money into the system. Let it kind of get through its problem. But the rich guys just now they're just putting it back in the economy by spreading it around to us plebs here and there. So we need to get public... plebs maybe. Yeah, that's what I meant. Investment to make sure that the economy can be

2:04:11 kick-started again. And another thing that might be underestimated, but Mr. Katainin I'm sure will be able to give us further details on this, this is a project pipeline that is going to be set up. investors might not just need funding but we'd also like to know how the projects can be set up so that they are attractive to investors. Isn't this the dream John? This is a dream. All these guys get to bring their buddies in now. This is about pipelines, this long term, you know, they get insight into everything. It's going to be it's going to be a disaster. American style scams. They will have an effect on the regions where these projects will be carried up. So it is also important to to have

2:05:12 This type of support, and what is also important is to make sure that the projects on which we shall be agreeing won't be sand castles. They will really promote the potential. It's not just a short-term programme, structural programmes, no, we're looking at long-term strengthening of the economy. Well, this is where you and I should be in our suits selling proposals. Yeah. Selling research for proposals. Yeah, there's obviously there's a lot of scams going on here. The third lung, I like that one. Isn't that nice? Kickstart. Let's kickstart the economy. Where's this kickstart mechanism?

2:06:05 kickstart. If you throw methane right onto the top of the cylinder, maybe. You remember, you put in the Red Book, these European politicians would soon be pinning medals on each other. Yeah. So Heiko Hermann van Rompuy, the president of the Council, Well, he's out, so this is his last week. He's doing his farewells, his goodbyes, his swan songs. He's doing, you know, little appearances. Swan poems. His haikus. He's doing little appearances here and there. And in his colleagues, and here it's close, his colleagues actually gave him, and it's now in European Parliament, in the building, a bust of him. A bust, I tell you.

2:06:57 Yeah, it's like, oh, and he will be forever remembered as the enshrined in the European Union in the in the archives of history. I wonder where that bus is going to end up when they burn the place down. Well, it won't burn. Well, the bus won't burn. Somebody's going to take it, though. Yeah. Yeah. They're going to take that bus and they're going to pound it with a hammer till it breaks or they're going to put it somewhere, be in a museum somewhere. It'd be kind of interesting to see where that bus ends up. Really? Okay, I guess yeah, no this is way out there. This is no this is just crazy these guys I mean and really when you see the difference. I sat here, and I watched some Dutch. It's kind of a Dutch C-Span

2:07:43 And they had, it was very interesting, Fred Tewa is a, he's the state, the secretary of, so not the minister of defense, but the secretary of defense and the minister of defense is another incredible guy. Like these are the largest elitist. But this guy was actually a major player in the Pim Fortuyn-Leif Barnadelon party. And then, you know, Furtado was assassinated before, you know, then his party still won posthumously. And he kind of slipped in and now he's like, he's the number two guy of all military. And wow, I'm just saying that this guy, I'm impressed. And he's doing deals, man. This guy is just he's doing deals.

2:08:27 And I'm just looking at this and the way these people speak to each other and it's very noticeable in Dutch, with the Dutch language. You have what we call really a high Dutch. which is, you know, very hot potato-ish kind of like royal British in a way, like the Queen's English. Yeah. And that's all they speak to each other. And you can just see these people, they don't care one shit about anybody in this country. They're in their own little world, just like our Congress. Or like the European, they just want news reports for them. Oh, if this is happening, let's do this legislation. They don't care. It's such a disconnect. It's very obvious here.

2:09:06 I don't know if that's just because I'm away from home and I'm looking at it with a fresh eye. Probably has something to do with it. Yeah, well that's good then I guess. I'm just surprised. Fresh eyes are good. Yeah, fresh eyes. Yeah, yeah. Fresh eyes. Why don't we do this right now if you don't mind? I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. On No Agenda. On it. Well, we have an interesting situation with Harry Pilgrim. Oh, do tell. You see a donation down there for something. There's no money associated with his claim of knighthood. Harry's been a monthly donor for years. Yeah, I'm sure he's a knight. Yeah. What's the question? Well, I mean, he usually doesn't end up in the... Well, the question is, what's the associative? What's associated with his note?

2:10:07 which was sent by email that was sounds like a donation note. Oh, I know that. He's requesting karma and all these different things, which is a unusual for somebody to send you email and asking for, you know, something, whatever, you know, a little girl. Yay. I mean, I just asked her email. Oh, okay. Yay. I don't know what to do about it. Well, big mystery. Let me get let me help you out. OK, I would presume that Harry looking at the email because now now I've had to get involved because the back office is confused. And you're a part of that. I think I mailed the back office this email assuming that was attached to something. No, it's not. Yeah, it's attached to his to his 1212. And he what he did is he said, hey, wait a minute, let me go check.

2:10:57 And all his previous 1212s, which his new 1212 may not have come in, he tallies up 999, wanting me to toss him the penny for his knighthood. Where does it say that in here? It's the email I had. Oh, well, I didn't get that one. Okay, well, that makes more sense than what I got here. Yeah, and I thought so, because you replied to him and I was like, you're amiss on this. I guess, but I'm looking at a different document. Yeah. Alright, that's fine. He's good to go. He picked us up at the airport. He was our handler when we went on the first Hot Pockets tour. It's just, yeah, okay. No, it's fine.

2:11:36 I know, I know, it's all in the background, but I'm reading this thing and it doesn't make any sense to me. I'm going, I'm not getting this. You're going into your... Now that you have a different note, I'm fine with it. I don't have a problem. I just wanted it resolved. It's resolved. Okay, good. Now you take care of it. Now you have to read his note. He has a whole note. Okay, well you got the note. You want to read the note now? No. Oh, by the way, do you have your pen out? There's too many things at once. Yes, I have my pen out. What do you need? Jesse Christensen, who's married to JC, is birthday today. Oh, Christensen? Christensen. Christensen. Yeah, she never listens to the show, so it's not a... And how old is she?

Are you a little annoyed by this if it happened? Well, they're doing it now. You know, it's it's it's a yes, you're right. It's an advance Why do you don't do it the day before? No, you get it set up now becomes too obvious This is what the Caltech people used to do when they used to create these gags on certain football teams because they don't have no football team so they would go into the Rose Bowl and So when they went to the halftime, you know, the score would change to Caltech 40 USC 10, right?

2:21:27 But they would do the preparation for this gag like a year in advance. Oh yeah, it takes a long time to do this right, exactly. Because you could set it up and then you could put it looks like it was been there forever so you can't find the connection. Yeah, that's what you do. So there's probably some Caltech guys doing this. Well, who knows who's doing it, but we know what it's being done for. Yeah, I'm just joking. Bradley Shellnut in Walnut, Walnut, Shellnut, Walnut, get it? Mountain View, California, 50. Andrew Gardner, Leonardtown, Maryland. Sir Andrew to you. Sir, oh yes, that's right, Sir Andrew Gardner. Ross Turpin in Troy, Kansas, 50. Gerald

2:22:11 Inabit, inabit, inabit, inabit, inabit. Yeah, I think we go through this every time he shows up. In Union, South Carolina, Peter Tote's Parts Unknown, 50. Michael Toen in Hayden, Idaho. Shad Rich and a Bendigo in Seattle, Washington. I should not, he's making fun of his name. $50, Shad Rich is his name, and a Bendigo. Taylor Bentley, Tacoma, Washington, 50 Holy Mackerel Software in Derbyshire, UK. And that concludes our donors who came up big here on show 673. And we want to thank them all, but reminding people that we do have another show on Sunday that I believe will have no listeners because everyone's going to be lounging around and there's football. There's always football on Sunday.

2:23:03 Two things. One, Taylor Bentley's donation. She says, my dad likes to clip the part where John says my name during the donation segment and use it as his ringtone for me. Oh, let me just do it with that, with silence on either end. Yeah, that's and so it's Taylor Bentley. And this is so I'm going to give you the motive and the motivation here. She's calling her dad and then he wants your ringtone to bring on his phone when his daughter calls him. Taylor Bentley! How's that? You think that'd be good? That'd be good. Why don't you just do an alternate? Just for safety. Just for safety? Safety. I hated that! I hated it so much! That was great, great segment. Let's do one more for safety. I don't want to beat you in the face. Taylor Bentley. Taylor Bentley. Taylor Bentley! Now there's got to be one in there. Those are great. Those are really good. That, by the way,

2:24:06 That's a commercial service. Yeah. Well, a $50 donor is possible. Yeah. All right. Good work. Again, thank you everybody. Go to Dvorak.org and keep up the good work. And also Chip Tanghen, who we thanked earlier with his 1-2-3, that was his very first ever donation. And so he wanted a de-douching show, I thought I'd give him that. And it is a podcast. Is there anybody in the chat room? Yeah, we got like five, six hundred people on the stream, which is low, but it's not completely bunk. And it's Thanksgiving only in America, John. And let's be honest, our audience is global. It's not just America. Yeah, no, that's fine. You're right. There'll be plenty of Europeans and Australians. Yeah. And we got no Singaporeans listening to this show.

2:25:11 Hold on a second. Hold that thought. And today, two birthdays. Kuba Koerner says happy birthday to his... sister's boyfriend Zach. That's right, Zach celebrating today and Jesty Christensen, Buzzkill Jr.'s wife, turns like 25. Happy birthday from all your buddies here at the best podcast in the universe. She didn't listen. No, I know. I don't care. She didn't listen. That's too much. Too much. Now, Harry Pilgrim, I thought he had some kind of title for taking such good care of us.

2:25:55 In in Virginia, remember? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You met him. But anyway, it's... let me read his note. Just like the night before Christmas, reading of old, I'm looking forward to the annual deconstruction of today's bogative holiday, which we did. I do, however, have a reason to celebrate because my three-year monthly contribution plan towards knighthood pays off today! Accounting attached. Okay, that's what I didn't read anything apparently. I just was befuddled by whatever. I'm reading the spreadsheet. This is right on the spreadsheet that you have. Yeah, no, I'm reading the same thing. I apparently am an idiot. No, no, you're not an idiot. I think so. It was just one of those moments where, you know, the bottles go by in the conveyor belt the whole time and then suddenly like the old man picks one and goes, this is a good bottle. Let's check this. Drill.

2:26:46 What? Yeah, that's kind of how it felt. Oh. Don't take it- Drill? Yeah, like a sergeant drilling his team. This is a true fact! Can he have a knighthood? I'm telling you, this is how it came across. You may not realize that. Okay, well I realize it now since you're berating me. I'm not berating you, I'm telling you lovingly. I'd like to be known as Sir Pilgrim, although the round table is well stocked with libations, I realized that after the apocalypse we may not be able to replace all of the scotch bourbon, chardonnay, and other fine potent potables. Therefore, my request for the round table menu includes the key ingredients to produce handcrafted lagers and ales. Please stock the table with a selection of malted barley and hops, and I will provide the peerage with an endless supply of fine beers." So in other words, if we send him stuff, he'll make beer for us. Yes, yes. And we have to have it on the table of the knights and the dames. That's the other part. Well, that would be fine.

2:27:48 Can he do a good ale? I think he... well, he's a knight. Have you tried his beers when you were back in... I think I have, yeah. I think so. Remember his leg was all messed up and... He does have a point to make. I'd like to call out the producers. Hey, citizens, how about some value for value support through the holiday season? The best podcast in the universe is your program, and if you don't produce it, John and Adam may have to start selling seeds and iodine. I'm looking forward to that. That'll never happen. No, it will never happen. You're absolutely right. Alright, grab your blade man, let me get this good man into the, uh, where he belongs. The right, his rightful... The rightful space, ladies and gentlemen. Come on Harry Pellgrim, step up man! Been waiting for you, long time coming. We hereby pronounce the... Sir Pellgrim, knight of the Noah-Jinn around table for you sir. As requested, we not only have the hookers and blow, we also have malted barley and hops, Don Eckies and Dutch dominatrix, puppies and pork,

2:28:51 porn stars in pot, Cuban cigars and single malt scotch, cannabis and cabernet, winches and beer, geishas and sake, sparkling cider and escorts, and of course our favorite, mutton and mead. And Harry, hop on over to NoahGeneration.com slash rings, and when you get the ring, the certificate and everything, take a picture of it, tweet it, and put John, you know, put Adam Curry and then the real Dvorak on it. Yeah, it's nice. I've been retweeting a couple of those, I've seen a number. I don't know why I don't know what my problem was with this why I couldn't read this correctly.

2:29:30 Yeah, like you said, you know, I was like some guy was confused. Oh, maybe they those rays What raise the ones that make it babble and make no sense? It was it was seriously it was one of the weirdest things and I was taken aback. Oh, man. What are you doing? It's fucking hairy raise its race. Oh When have you been exposed to said rays? Up here, I said the Pacific Northwest, they got ray machines. Speaking of this, there's a new psychiatric, luckily, a new psychiatric diagnosis we have and the Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology in their January issue are devoting 136 pages

2:30:20 to describe this illness, which I think you may have had as a child and it went untreated. Yes. Yeah, that's exactly right. It is known as SCT or sluggish cognitive tempo disorder. And what this is is daydreaming. What? Exactly. It's a new frontier on ADHD. Daydreaming is now a mental disorder. Give me a break. Yes. So they call this the other side of ADHD. And of course this is all... Now this will be entered into the next DSM, Diagnostic Statistical Manual.

2:31:20 And here it is, sluggish cognitive tempo is a remarkably silly name for an even sillier proposal, says psychology today. Yet SCT seems to have gotten, you know, grabbed, gotten hold of something. And they do believe that they're going to have a drug for this disorder. Oh yeah. What do you need a drug for? To wake you up a bit if you're daydreaming. A cup of coffee. Red Bull. Red Bull. It's already available. Yeah. Wow. I just think it's... Here, one leading proponent of SCT is Dr. Russell Barkley, who the Guardian reports calls the condition, quote, the second attention disorder. No. Between a third and half of all those diagnosed with the inattentive subtype of ADHD are in fact suffering from SCT.

2:32:15 Yeah, more Adderall. Sluggish cognitive tempo. Yeah, I think it is a boost for Adderall. Yeah, I'll find it as an investment. Great Adderall. It's really just an expansion. So you have the kids who are ADHD and then the Adderall, which is amphetamine. Amphetamines. It makes them very focused. They're highly productive. And talkative. And it prepares them for, you know, cocaine later in life. Yeah, well, they can be even more talkative. Yeah, and annoying. By the way, The Wolf of Wall Street is well worth watching. I found it's 45 minutes too long. Ah, well there's that. You know what I mean? When it comes to the new movie, Birdman, starring Michael Keaton and Peter N. Norton, can't remember his first name ever. Ed? Great, great film. You have a screener so you can watch it then. I don't know if we get a screener.

2:33:15 It's nominated or it's not nominated yet, but it will be. Speaking of which, I was talking to Mickey two days ago and she'd been home. You didn't talk to her since? Yeah, I talked to her just before the show I talked to her. Yeah, oh you're right. She said, do you have a quick minute to FaceTime before the show? She said, did she use the term FaceTime? Yeah, she won't. Yeah, FaceTime. All hands meeting? All hands stand up meeting. You know the FaceTime app is what she's referring to. Oh, I see, because she's in LA. Yes, exactly. With my handlers. And she just bought... Again? Okay, go on. Go ahead, say it. She's back from LA? No, she's in LA now. She's Thanksgiving in LA because I'm here. Okay, let me get back this up now. How hard can this be? What do you care? Well, here's the problem. She was in LA for the last show. No, no, she was in Houston. She drove back from Houston. I'm just trying to figure out when the toilet's clogged up. Let's just make the timeline. Okay, the toilet clogged up Tuesday.

2:34:15 And she left for LA. No, she left for LA Wednesday morning. So you clogged the toilet before you left. No, no, because no, really stop. Don't do this. Okay. It's just, let's just drop it. Yes. So I don't even know what we're talking about this anymore. She wanted some FaceTime. So you said, okay. And now you're talking to her. I don't know why, but I don't know what that was about anymore. It must've not been important. Yeah, it was. Oh, yeah. No, I got it. Okay. So I was going to say though that I'd spoken to her a couple days ago and she had watched the State of Affairs of Katherine Heigl series. And of course, she looks like Katherine Heigl, although Mickey's obviously much hotter, younger looking, and certainly more of a woman. She looks exactly like her.

2:35:08 She looks just like, I mean, you could get reservations at a restaurant claiming to be Katherine Heigl and get away with it. That's not how it works. I go in, listen, I've got Katherine Heigl with me, VIP, VIP, we need the best table you can get. If you have to kick people out, you drag them by their fucking hair, Katherine Heigl's here with me. That's how it works. Okay. Yeah, and it works. Yeah, it works every single time. Yeah. And she said, wow, if people aren't ready hypnotized by the fake news, this is just like, it's just like a like a gloss. Just just throw everything in there. North Korea, nuclear, Russia, crazy. I saw, yeah. Everything. And she said, this is, she said, it's so boring.

2:35:54 So it's the shows of Turkey. Yeah, but you got to play this bit. One of our producers clipped this. This is NBC. I believe this is NBC. No, it's isn't CBS? No, I don't think so. I think it's a replacement for The Blacklist. Oh, okay. Could be. Which was turning Turkey, but they ended the season before it could go all the way to pure Turkey. So in this case, what has happened? What's the name of it again? I'm gonna look it up. State of affairs. Yeah, so I have not I've not seen this show I have no idea but I do understand the plot in this particular premise is Russia has cut the cables is tapping off the internet cables Where some and this is very appropriate actually think about Finland and Sweden

2:36:35 NBC. No, NBC. Where Russia is tapped into the undersea cables of wherever this summit is going to be and whoever these, wherever Katherine Heigl is, they see the danger of this. Of course, the danger of this happening. While we're doing the exact same thing right now in Finland via Sweden, and here's what happens if Russia finds out we know. If Russia finds out who our assets are... They'll kill everyone of them. And their families and extended families. And then they'll shop the rest of that intel to Iran, to North Korea. That's exactly what they'll do. Shoot everybody and then sell the intel to North Korea and Iran, our arch enemies.

2:37:20 You might as well play my North Korea clip and see how that works its way into this thesis. Thousands of North Koreans rallied today against UN criticism of their country's human rights record. The demonstrators filled a square in Pyongyang, the capital, backing their communist leaders and denouncing the US. The rally was organized by the government. A UN commission has found North Korea's abuse of human rights, quote, exceeds all others in duration, intensity and horror. The issue could go to the International Criminal Court. Horror? What is that a category? Horror. Yeah, well, this is exactly what the release of Bay and the Spook Wannabe Kid Miller was all about, was trying to show, hey, we don't don't try and take Kim Jong-un to the criminal, International Criminal Court. Don't don't go that route. And they just don't care.

2:38:16 Now, they got their minds made up because they gotta sell armaments to South Korea. Confirmed. It's just gonna continue. Confirmed. Confirmed. It's just confirmed. Yeah. Nobody wants to talk about that. So instead of talking about any of that stuff, you put this stupid show on NBC, the stooges for the US government, and they make this crap that replaces another show that is very slowly deteriorating. Here's one for you, Adam. I got an Afghanistan update. This requires a question. There's a lot of questions for me today. The number of US troops who remain deployed in Afghanistan past year's end may increase. 9,800 are already scheduled to stay and Reuters reported today another thousand may join them. A Pentagon spokesman did not rule out that possibility. President Obama has recently expanded the future mission beyond training Afghan forces to include

2:39:13 fighting the Taliban. Yeah. Oh, wow. Wait a minute. Weren't they always fighting the Taliban or something? Did I miss something? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. They've added. They've added. They say added. Shut up. Fighting the Taliban. We don't know. Who are they fighting if they weren't fighting the Taliban? I don't know. They're just shooting stuff off, man. We got excess. We need to place new orders. I thought this was the screwiest clip I've got. Yeah, it is. Yeah. All of a sudden they're adding another thousand people that are supposed to be getting out of there. But no, they're fighting the Taliban. What, for the various drug, you know, deals that they're going down? What's it? By the way, if you're coming to Amsterdam, do not buy cocaine. There's a bad batch. It is known as white heroin, is apparently what it is.

2:40:02 Already two English tourists have OD'd and are dead. There's signs everywhere. There's dangerous cocaine. Well, there's signs everywhere. How did these guys die? Well, this is after they... Oh, after they died. So now there's big neon everywhere. It says, bad cocaine, don't buy it. Is this a great country or what? Bad cocaine. Don't eat the brown ass... I don't think you can get cocaine in Holland at all. No. I think it's pretty big though in Amsterdam. Really? I think it's pretty big in general. I certainly for the Brits. I know the Brits are crazy about it. Really? Yeah. Yeah. They don't like the idea of a coked up Brit. They like because they like drinking. It kind of, you know, goes hand in hand. Oh, I see. Yeah. Getting a drink more. Yeah, exactly. Good report on the holidays. I think we should all listen to this one very carefully. This is the clip family fights. I'm sorry. Okay.

2:41:05 I'm ready. Bad news, an argument or two probably will break out at the dinner table, maybe a debate. But here's the good news. That could actually be good for your kids to see. Get this, I don't know what to think about this. A new study says that children who witness heated debates are better off later in life. Apparently, according to this research, it makes them better communicators. and teaches them how to handle conflict. Now I don't know what to say about this because it's sort of like, oh if you get used to a lot of strife and tension, you'll really know how to deal with it later in life. Are we talking about parents fighting? Are we talking about discussions about topics that get a little bit heated at a dinner table? Yeah, I think that that's a- What is he doing?

2:41:43 talking about? Discussion of topics that get heated at the dinner table. Well, I'm not absolutely sure that Kim Jong-un is who he says he is. Well, I disagree with you and I'm going to get heated about it. No, it's about Who was that slut you were with last night? You know what this show, what this argument's about, what they're talking about, but these idiots... How come you didn't return your text when I sent you one? Yeah, these idiots doing this show, this is their analysis. I saw you... Are they discussing current events in a heated manner? I saw the blue dot on your WhatsApp. I know you read my WhatsApp. Were you with that hussy again? No, this is my...

2:42:24 My typical southern woman which is really misogynistic right now. Okay. That's pretty good though, right? That was your- that was your southern woman? Kind of. A little bit. It was maybe misogynistic. I don't think it was that bad, A. And B, it was very unsoutherned. It was not a withdrawal. You got to slow it down a little bit. Let's do more. And what the difference is. I mean, I got the impression it was more about debate and talking. Right. No, Kardashians, Real Housewives of New Jersey and New York. Oh, and what's the below deck?

2:43:05 Below Deck. I don't watch any of that crap. Yeah, it's about the staff on a huge yacht. It's actually kind of funny. Oh, that actually sounds like a good idea. And then they have the Hollywood Persians. What is it? The Persian royalty of Hollywood or something? Yeah, you watch a lot of this stuff. No, this is all Bravo. And I see it. Mickey will have her one night and I'll join in and we'll sit and I'm just blown away by this crap. All the real estate shows, like the two gay guys, wait a minute, all the real estate, here's a real estate show. Get a real estate office, put two gay guys in, show. Well that would go over big in Canada. I've been watching Canadian TV and I don't want to sound like some sort of a gay basher, but holy crap, this one channel up here, CHEK, which comes off of the Vancouver Island, Mimi and I were both

2:44:02 drop-jawed about this. It's like, it's like the whole station is all gay and just put up with it and I'm thinking it's in the food room. It's in the food! Yes, yes, John. You can cure them. Yes, John. Just by changing their diet, I'm sure you can cure them, John. Yes. Have you met Michelle Bachmann? I'll get off the topic as fast as I can. It's your fault now. Well, let me help you. Can I help you? To know that we're in a Great Depression, there's a lot of anomalies that always take place economically. So now I have a clip about this auction. This is very interesting to listen to. Just these two items went up for sale on an auction.

2:44:45 And play. Hollywood's best known pieces of memorabilia have new owners. The Cowardly Lion costume worn in The Wizard of Oz in 1939 sold at auction last night for nearly $3.1 million. And the upright piano from Rick's Cafe American in Casablanca fetched $3.4 million. They went on the block at Bonham's Auction House in New York. Wow. That seems a little high. Well, some old costume from a movie in the 30s is getting three million dollars just so you can display it as art Here's what I talked to Lex, you know Lex my first boss. He was at this photo shoot. I

2:45:29 And you know, Lex is a collector. We know what he's a collector of. He has a very, very significant collection of Warhols and Liechtensteins. Okay, those are good. Yeah, but you know, like really significant. Yeah, well he's probably, there's probably a hundred million dollars worth of art, minimally, it sounds like to me. And he, so there's this big art fair, the Pong, P-A-N, and Mickey has two pieces at it. But there's a lot of Warhols, and he went to go look, and he had been there before I saw him, and he said, We said it's just too expensive right now. I said, well what's happening? He says, well funny enough the supply has increased because people need money and right now at this very moment there's just so much really desirable stuff. It's not just supply and demand yet. The stuff that is now available is just people are like, oh I need to get this. So the prices are very much inflated at the moment.

2:46:22 So I believe that's probably a part of all of this, including memorabilia like this. Good time to sell. Yeah, no, this is the time to sell. That's exactly what you want to do. Exactly. Well, he should be dumping his collection. No, he's not a trader. He's a collector. He likes it. He's not buying to sell. In fact, if I lived here, you know, a lot of his friends or closer friends, they have his art. You know, he, why don't you hold on to this Warhol for a while and then, you know, then we'll change it out and you'll get something else. I would warn him that these people should have insurance. Oh yeah. No, it's all taken care of. Yeah. But he wants the art to be seen. That's kind of good. No, that's what you're supposed to do. That's what you do it. Yeah. Yeah.

2:47:13 New Jersey, my old stomping grounds. Let me roll this out on you. As we continually are on the lookout for different different ways in which our free speech is being monitored and shut down, I think legislation like this is gonna be part of a problem. New Jersey Assemblyman Troy Singleton has heard the stories from around the state. Women and even men lured into relationships with people who aren't who they say they are. You probably would not consent to someone who purported to be a million different things other than they are. That's why Singleton has just introduced a bill that would make lying to get someone to have sex

2:47:51 equal to rape. We think that it is important. How about that? What? Yeah. Wow, okay, clip of the day right there. Listen to the whole thing. Stop the presses. Listen to the whole thing and you'll just get madder and madder as I take that honor. For folks to be protected. But under the bill, it would have to be more than just a little white lie to land you in jail. The lies would have to be continuous and rise to a high level of deceit. Now, Here's the best part. No one would ever get laid. Here's the best part. Who are these people? They're just a bunch of virgins. They don't get it. No, it's being introduced by a woman whose husband... Whose husband... She's holding her collar, top of her things with her hand constantly. She talks.

2:48:38 Her husband turned out to not be who he said he was and so then this law had to come into place because she is the woman scorned. This is big deal. This is the extent that women go to. This is pathetic. When you are told lies of identity, you're basically having a sexual relationship with a person that's a total stranger to you. Yeah! Yeah, because that never happens. Joyce Short supports this bill after she says she was deceived for years by her now ex-husband. Aha! Now the monkey comes out of the sleeve and we find out why she is so vigilant about this law. He lied about his marital status. He lied about his education.

2:49:21 He told me that he was a had a bachelor's in accounting from NYU And in fact, he was a high school dropout. I shall make a law. I shall support it and arrest you Now because he said he was a man you got a degree from NYU, but was a college or a high school dropout He's a rapist at least five states already make it a crime to have sex by fraud sex by fraud There it is Sex by fraud. Sometimes though it's a lesser offense than rape, but some say it should be a matter of personal responsibility, not a case for the prosecutor. Yeah, do their due diligence and check the guy out or check the woman out. You know, it's like if he or she is not what they say they are, then move on. This is the man on the street that had to throw into the package some bro.

2:50:10 It's like, hey, they gotta do their demo just you know, you like check out the Facebook page You know, you're like Google around a bit you check out the Instagram. Whoa, man, you see it on the Instagram, you know You you see what you got, you know, but you never you never heard of LinkedIn. Are you stupid? If this bill becomes law major cases of lying and deception for sex could result in 10 to 20 years in prison 10 to 20 years John For it's unbelievable for saying I'm a movie director running these the legislatures I would even consider something like this. Well, you heard it. Yeah, I did he hit the clip of the day jingle Saying you deserve it is not necessarily a good thing You have to understand it is so strange to do the show on this side with I'm really I mean, you know, I get up at 730 but I prep

2:51:08 I don't prep. I use this day for prep. Of course, I have all the stuff that is ongoing naturally. And then it goes all the way through and then it kind of rolls into six o'clock. I mean, I've bopped outside to get a quick bite to eat, but it's a very strange... The whole day is off-putting, if you will. Yeah. I'm just, you know, it's different. Yeah. I'm sure it is. I mean, when I'm someplace else, it's always different. I mean, we did an hour earlier last show. Yeah. And I was going to say that was doing you a favor. Yeah. And in hindsight, I have to admit, I wish we'd gone an hour earlier today as well. Well, I called a little earlier and you weren't ready. No, I know. When did you call? Did you text me about that? I didn't see anything. No, I said I called you on Skype. Oh, before the show started. No, no, no. I wouldn't have had it on.

2:52:02 Oh, okay. You know, we could have almost done it early today. I just talked myself out of it. That's okay. Just a couple more things I wanted to throw out there as we'll probably move some of this into Sunday's show. Getting so many cool stories about the transportation of oil via rail. which is kind of our recent, I say re-revelation really, but indeed Bill Gates is the largest shareholder of the Canadian rail. And so he and Buffett pretty much have a lock on all this and that really

2:52:41 solidifies so much of the understanding of what that XL, you know, KeyXL pipeline is about. It's just it's about these guys staying in business. But now it's everywhere. You know, you start finding stories about these trains coming through and, and because there have been in this year, I think 40 different Mishaps? Mishaps, yeah, with fire and people, stuff exploding. They have to promote...the guys for the pipeline should have been promoting that more. They were wimpy about their promotion. Yeah, but they're probably eating some of those guys. This reminds me...I'm reminded of the marijuana initiative in California, that the marijuana folks say, oh, it's no problem, we're gonna win. They lost.

2:53:19 in California, and then Washington, and now there's two or three other states. There's like four states. California's behind, way behind on the curve. They're on the wrong side of history. Exactly. Exactly. But yeah, no, I think I was actually annoyed to an extreme when the obviosity, I like that word, of the rail versus pipeline argument came forth from a Canadian. And being from a Canadian was even more, it's like, oh my God, these guys know what's going on. And now it's just so obvious. It's a scam. Did you hear we got it? What, the Buffett? Yeah, that was requested. Yeah, hit it again. Hold on. It isn't quite set up to do the hit it again yet. Yeah, that sounds right. Guy's good. Guy's dynamite. He should be getting work.

2:54:18 Just to do that sort of thing. Yeah, I think he's doing it. He's setting something up. Yeah. Yeah, he's the best screamer. It's not that easy to sound like you're screaming. No, and he has a good... the ambience of the room is good. Yeah, no, it's a great product. Do you have anything on Russia? Oh yes, they brought Anna Chapman back. for this. Anna Chapman, the hot Russian? Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah, in a, in a, this is from, what is this from? The New York Daily News, but they got a picture of her and she's, in a bid to pretty up the not so pretty image of the Russian army, Putin sent sexpot spy Anna Chapman on maneuvers with a tank unit that has been accused of aiding Moscow backed rebels in Ukraine. Please. This is great though.

2:55:09 We look at and she's and she's got it she got a super Super super Anna Chapman from Russia unloved. Yeah, this is the story. I'm looking at there's a nice shot of her when they throw She has a fatigue zone Russian fatigue. Oh, yeah This shot front which is in the Daily Beast. She's got leather on oh, I Her hair is red and she's with scarlet lips, and this is from 11-27-14, with scarlet lips and chemical red hair. The erstwhile agent is still making headlines in the West. She's put out a film exalting the virtues of the Russian army, even the units in Ukraine. But her audience in the motherland is negligible.

2:55:50 Every now and then I run into Anna Chapman at a nail salon called Little Fingers on Potapovsky Avenue in downtown Moscow. One would expect a red-haired, red lipstick celebrity ex-spy wearing expensive designer dresses that are tight enough to sculpt her curves in high relief to attract attention. But here in the hip clear ponds neighborhood or at any time of the day women are used to seeing and being seen to be cool Glamour is nothing special It's rare that another client would turn her head to look at Chapman and besides not many people in Moscow Actually know who she is Wow, you're harsh another dramatic reading by John C. Dorak

2:56:38 Where the C stands for chilling. All right, then I have my last, here's my last. You got one more last? I got one more last. No, I'm done. You're done? I thought this would be a nice little setup. We can all kind of start to ease into the weekend slowly. The New York Times had a wonderful, they've done a video explaining net neutrality. I figured you might want to hear it. Yes! Are you really ready for this? Because this is the official, this is the gray lady. No, just because the New York Times on net neutrality.

2:57:16 Which means they have nobody that's talking about it in any meaningful way. That's my guess. Well, they've made a video to explain it. You see. Oh, a video. Yeah. But when the New York Times does this, you would have to say it has to be factually correct because they are the paper record for the United States. Correct? Yes. Absolutely. It's future is up for debate and many say its demise could change your experience online. Here's how. I have no patience for useless things. Notice they bring in the house of cards right away with a Frank Underwood quote. I have no patience. So right away, net neutrality is house of cards. You with me? Yeah. When you download from the internet, it arrives in packets of data. Think of the packets as literal packages. Let's say you want to watch a Netflix movie, which is 10 packages big. Oh, is it already hurting you?

2:58:12 That's the sound we're looking for. Now, what you're seeing is you're seeing these streams, little rivers of packets from the left going into a box. So these streams are straight lines, just a straight line from Netflix, Amazon, Hulu. This is what this is because you're going to the consumer. And the way they draw it is these direct lines, straight lines, it must be some dedicated kind of network they have, going into this box that says ISP on it. And they are the sorting facility, if you will.

2:58:53 Let's disregard all routers, all protocols, everything that's come before it comes into the ISP. No, they are now the sorting facility. And then they had these little trucks. And these trucks are being filled up with these little packages, these packets to take to you, consumer. Sounds like Senator Stevens put this together. Very much so. Comcast. Now, what net neutrality means is that all packages must be delivered at the same rate. There you go. Net neutrality means all packages must be delivered at the same rate and with this they mean cost of money If the rules change a company like Netflix could pay extra to get on that first truck Oh, you want to get on the first truck? I see. I like this this the background music that the bed is like from the Like from Laurel and Hardy or something in the 30s. Good point. Let's listen to it

2:59:54 If a company doesn't pay, they might be shut out of that first truck. They'll get delivered eventually. But if that climactic movie scene arrives late, you know what that means. And now they show a screen... So it's that climactic movie scene. Now they show a... Again, you see House of Cards on a Netflix and it says buffering. This is New York Times. And let's bring in a... We need to bring in some bodies here in this piece. I think we need some professor or something. Somebody who knows something. And it's more than just movies. Media columnist David Carr with- Oh, let's bring media columnist. Who is David Carr? David Carr's a media columnist. I think he's for the New York Times. He writes about the media. This is the level of what is working at this place. More. Who gets to go fast and who gets to go slow? If my message comes to you really slowly, another person's- Oh, I'm sorry. Let me understand net neutrality for a moment.

3:00:52 So if you don't pay, you'll be coming through very slowly. Brother. Is that net neutrality? New York Times, David Carr? Message comes quickly and directly. Who's going to be heard? That has implications for democracy, for commerce. In the ongoing debate, the The forces of Silicon Valley are on one side with over 100 companies including Google and Facebook in support of net neutrality. On the other side are cable companies with powerful lobbying efforts in Washington. This is what's so beautiful. They're both on the same side. This is what's so funny about it.

3:01:31 Google and all the, they want to say Google would love for the internet service to become a utility because they'll pay for, they're going to put their infrastructure in. They will do it. There will be no more competitors. And they may have to buy some of what's already out there. I think this is... There's no fight between those two. They're all in the same boat. They love it. They're just pretending. Silicon Valley's stance is clear. The cable company's position is also clear. But what about users? Net neutrality... Users. Oh, God, I hate that word too.

3:02:09 Keep playing it. ...is usually a subject that elicits more glazed eyes than passion, but that could change. Net neutrality is a super wonky thing. Nobody wants to look behind their computer or look behind their television and see what's really going on. But where people get interested, where they get actualized, is when that stuff stops working. Then they want to know who made this happen. There you go. That is exactly how it works. And that's why House of Cards was chosen. That's why House of Cards was chosen. So what you do is you start to make House of Cards buffer, and if you recall, this is when the new season came out. When the- I think that's around the same time that it started. That's when politicians take note, hey wait a minute, that's the one show I really like! It's disgusting. That's the New York Times, everybody. I think you've heard a different message from us regarding net neutrality. And when it is implemented, sayonara, everybody.

3:03:09 It will be bad. The FCC will get what they've always wanted, total control of all media. Total control. They've been trying to do this with cable, and the cable guys manage to keep it away from now. Yeah, because it's none of their business, it's not over the air. But now, oh yeah, it's the internet. Now we've got to do something. Think of the children. Well, we'll certainly have more on that as it progresses. Looking forward to a lot more analysis of this UK shut up slave bill and whatever else happens to cross our paths between now and Sunday where we will be broadcasting episode 674. Coming to you from the pipe in the heart of Amsterdam. Good morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from the Pacific Northwest hideout
