Sir Duke Don Tomaso Di Toronto Presents

00:00 By the way, we should mention to Chinese that if we get screwed... The whole world's economy collapses and they're screwed too. Oh yeah. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak It's Sunday December 28th 2014 time for your Gizmo Nation media assassination this is episode 682 This is no agenda Feeling suckered and hoaxed? And 100% live from FEMA region 6 in the capital of the drone star state Austin Tejas In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from northern Silicon Valley where fights are breaking out I am John C. Dvorak Fights are breaking out you didn't notice the fights breaking out everywhere There's a fight in Georgia in the country, Georgia

00:48 No. So I don't have the clip of the other fight, the big one in New Jersey where apparently 2,000 kids on social media decided to meet up at a mall and start fighting. Oh! I missed all this and this is my hometown. The funny thing was it was mostly black girls So when you see the movies of the fights, it's just a bunch of girls punching each other and like I don't know 500 guys holding up their cell phones giggling and taking pictures of it. Wait a minute are you sure this is happening right now? Yeah, and then there was here's the local one that this is happening all over the country. Oh team fights force Pennsylvania mall oh my goodness What is going on? And there's this one I have I have a local one Where's it what's the name of this clip? This is this is this is the the Rapture lights duh Yes, this is The Rapture Art-and-fair mall in Sacramento reopened with extra security today after fights shut down early last night

01:48 Police responded to a call of shots fired but found no shooting. Instead they found multiple fights had broken out at the food court, one of them involved about 20 people I was just eating and all the sudden just a whole bunch of people got up and started running And everybody was fighting and security officers were tackling people Then we walked by and a whole bunch of people were lined up in handcuffs It's crazy An 18 year old man was arrested and a juvenile was also taken into custody. We say no one was seriously injured in those fights Hmm, it seems to have happened last year as well kids fighting yeah It's organized by the social media is largely responsible for the grouping the large group back in back East Which I thought it was Jersey John remember Social media doesn't kill people people kill people I've heard this now. I need a bumper sticker

02:41 Wow, I didn't know about this. Massive fight I was like after the fireworks all just gonna go fight. That's just like but like The Wanderers like you ever see that movie? It was no oh man Oh, yes about the New York gangs. It's a classic 70s Yeah right after the fight all hell would break loose and there would be I don't know hundreds of kids fighting always in high school mostly Chicanos and

03:23 Or Latinos or whatever you want to call them today, but they're from a couple of specific schools. Hello old white guy It's the Chicanos Chicano I'd like it straight. I'm down with that Chicano's Anyway, they got into these big fights and you could get punched out if you were standing in the wrong place because they'd be running all over The place a guy wouldn't to be those guys are running punchers. You see these guys is very specific type of fighter He would run as fast he could just punch somebody right in case and keep running it punch somebody else Yeah And there was just this melee it was just a huge and it just went on year after year after year

04:02 And then the Alameda County Fair moved it to the third, and their fights stopped. This is interesting! Yeah these fights... I don't know what it is. These kids get pent-up hostilities there used to be a lot more fighting in school Yeah, I remember we would have like hey. I don't know if it's still like that I guess you can't even do that anymore where pay man? I'll see you after school everyone would know she's gonna be a fight yeah Everyone gather around at the playground guys try to beat each other up. Yeah, they did for first They taunt each other I got beat up once by two girls at school in school. I know thank you for that No It's I'm admitting things this is the season to repent and

04:43 Yeah, these two girls. I don't know they were like really pissed off at me. Two top girls could beat up any guy Oh and they but they pulled my hair And you what was I gonna do? I can't hit that I can't get these girl's back But they were beating up on me it with a whole thing well Yes, it's a dilemma yep, and you wait Can you cold cock either one of them no in fact you know A teacher broke up the fight, and I'm just fending off for dear life Don't even remember what it was about I think but I think at some point today, you know I probably said something provocative like well kick your ass bitch something like that and she's oh yeah. Well we'll see you after school Like oh crap and my got blamed of course was your fault yet? You say I'll kick your ass bitch Yeah, should be blamed in Ryan. Yeah It was the but that how wow that was a um it's a dark mark on my soul well Maybe he just got out of your system

05:40 So there was a fight in the... you okay? Yeah. There was a fight in the Georgian parliament, and this is not a I don't have anything with any narration but this was uh the 26th and what happened was the opposition party The leader, this is their fighting. They're jumping like Superfly because it's kind of one of those arenas you know like a parliament is where you have back benches that go up higher and higher and dudes were jumping off the higher benches in the back onto dudes down below And they're ripping off the microphones that they use to talk in this parliament and hitting people with it

06:30 It's completely crazy. And this is all because the opposition leader in Parliament swore, he said you know, he cussed at somebody or something and it just... and the whole place just went nuts! Huh? This is our big ally there in the region for the Baku pipeline to go through the sea via our friends Georgia George W. Bush Airport. Yeah, well anything as long as the Russians don't get a foothold. A lot of interesting things happened... Well first of all I really missed not doing your show live on Thursday did you? Did do you have any withdrawal symptoms? Did you have any issues? No, I listened to the show for a few minutes. Now I listen to the whole thing actually kind of liked it. You might as well done the show then!

07:24 Well, no because I didn't know if the show is that is the least amount of work. It's all the prep and it's getting ready and sorting stuff out. What did you think about this show? Yeah, it was alright! I got a lot of positive comments. Yeah some people said good things. Yeah um... You know the comic strip blogger who hates us as always. Didn't use his Alma Mart. He uses Alma Mart in the newsletter Right but that's not good enough for him No, what I really miss... Well let me just say this about that. Please. That's kind of... It sounded a little bit like Kennedy. Yeah please do it. Let me say this about that. That's a performative if I've ever heard one. Oh yeah! He essentially is the natural at doing evergreen art which works out perfectly for the newsletter

08:16 But there's no he does funny pieces, but they're not thematic to the specific show necessarily right and when they are they're not as good as Evergreen so I don't know what you Can do much we can use this piece. We've used his pieces a couple times some people never He's one of these guys who sends an email says well? I can't donate to your show because You support racist UKIP Okay, fine. Oh what is he? Is he British? I didn't know he was British. No, he's Polish Well why does it give a crap about UKIP because they're Because he says Nigel Farage and all of you keep his bias and racist against Poland despite listening to our show All he does is believe media propaganda exactly

09:00 Huh. He sends me links to prove it, it doesn't matter that's that shows you why the art doesn't get in is because he's not fully connected to the true stream of consciousness. Yeah exactly. He has not connected his soul to the broadband pipe of No Agenda healthiness Yes well happens anyway I missed it just because there was so much going on I missed the opportunity To mock the elites as they bestowed this hoax upon us known as The Interview Oh my goodness I mean could we have called everything more right about this thing? No, we couldn't have been more right. It was so obvious! So...I know that you watched the movie and I actually watched it as well. I did need to play two things because that was

09:52 So Sony relented or they reversed their decision apparently in an obscene effort to Get back some of the money they've spent on this turkey of a movie and by the way before anyone listens any further Neither one of us are recommending anyone spend a nickel on this piece of crap well We do have man-on-the-street interview which is always fun, and just to let you Listen into how stupid we are in America as these are people waiting in line Of course Texas has a lot of the Alamo theaters so I got a lot of local news covering your

10:28 covering people going to see this and here's how the propaganda works. Now, people who are listening to this program if you have your no agenda ears on... You'll recognize immediately how sick these people are just purely ill The first one, interestingly enough sounds like she's British. You know what? This is a film I probably would not have come to see but because of the controversy i thought they would come out tonight stand up for freedom of speech you know? I don't think people are afraid of North Korea here in America on American soil we've got thousands of patriotic Americans missing Christmas with their families to defend our country overseas and we can't go to movie at home that seems kind of lame

11:10 I am here because I want to support... Hey, dudes! You're going to the movie. Filmmakers who were being censored by a foreign body. Filmmakers being censored by a foreign body? Because I don't believe that anybody should have the right to censor a work whether it's satirical or not. Alright let's talk about this for one second. First of all is not satirical. Let us know. Let's talk about the censorship for a moment. This is one thing the president talked about in his year-ender His big double ender year enders speech about self censorship and how he felt that this was wrong of Sony to self censor let us quickly review oh Here it is we cannot have a society in which some dictator someplace

11:57 can start imposing censorship here in the United States. Because if somebody is able to intimidate folks out of releasing a satirical movie, imagine what they start doing when they see a documentary that they don't like or news reports that they don't like Or even worse imagine if producers and distributors and others start engaging in self-censorship because they don't want to offend the sensibilities of Somebody's whose sensibilities probably need to be offended. You know, that's not who we are That's not what America is about okay? So that's the piece that I when I heard him say you know We need to maybe there's somebody needed to be offended Maybe these guys need to be offended somebody out there some folks and that's not who we are That's not what America is all about which reminded me of these exact words he used

12:53 when he decided to self-censor the showing of the Bin Laden is dead pictures. It is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos, of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence as a propaganda tool. You know, that's not who we are." It's not who we are? I don't know what we are now! We're nothing apparently... That's a good catch. Same clip. That's not who we are. That's not who- Who ARE WE?! Now, it's not who we are is this stupid movie. WHO ARE WE is what I want to know Well apparently people with boners that go straight out can- before you notice that too huh

13:42 I was laid out. I was thinking stick get the guys pants That's a samurai man, that's not a three-man and three mentions of erections one visual Portrayal with the camera on him this movie by the way was directed by Seth Rogan it was also written by Seth Rogan if he gets more work It's gonna be a disaster. It is the most juvenile thing I've ever seen in my life it had nothing but booger and dick jokes for those in the comic sphere who understand what that was a lot of a Lot of gay jokes a lot of gay jokes, but in fact the whole thing was about everyone's gay

14:18 Have you seen Seth Rogen movies, I'm wondering John? Have you ever... I saw Green Lantern a piece of crap. Oh, I hated Green Lantern. How about did you see Pineapple Express? No. But see the kind of half-time do you remember Fast Times at Ridgemont High Yeah this is the side type movie This is like one of those Porky movies. Porky's Revenge! If people liked Porky's Revenge they would love this movie I gotta tell you, I laughed several times. I thought the whole Eminem is gay thing was funny. It's very well known but you're telling me it's funny that there's a tank going on and it crushes some guys head? And then this is the only movie I've ever seen has both projectile vomiting and then the height of comedy projectile diarrhea depicted on screen

15:07 Yeah, see you just have never seen this is all these sorts of movies. I didn't see Apple Express that would have been a good one to it to see as how about the end This is where from the James Flacco Seth Rogan Franchise was developed this movie called The End which which also stars Leguizamo no no Jonah Hill Yeah. Um, have you seen this movie? I don't understand why they just don't get Paulie Shore and put him into the mix. Now- now you're really hurting me because Paulie Shore is a dick! Yeah... This- this- Hey what's up buddy?! Fuck that guy

15:48 Always hate you can tone down the cussing to I'm sorry, but he they put him on MTV and preempted everybody because he was so funny Oh this is because this is an MTV. Yes got nothing to do with the guy well not funny No really So Pauly Shore is not funny And the reason he was put on MTV all the time was because of his mom okay who runs a comedy store in LA oh And everyone wanted seats. That's right, I knew that. Everybody wanted seats and everyone... You think a kid that has so much kind of he had so much comedy in his world would be funny but no Here is one of the better they we could have done a rewrite of this particular scene and it would have come out better but at least

16:36 They had some- it had some value to me. It should have been watermelon head, not oak tree Well, I would if you think this movie was in any way decent. I didn't say that. I did not say that the missile coming down and killing the tiger Chris sorry The change in characters the Seth Rogen character first It was against doing this whole thing And then he became all for it or the coincidence of a guy eating the chewing gum is are all spoilers by the way Eating the chewing gum with the poison dying though

17:26 Yeah, that was lame. It doesn't even look like chewing gum but let's put it this way It's a band-aid this movie Let me put it this way This movie well and you know me I don't pirate stuff I pay for you know when somebody makes something I want to make sure they get the People send me torrent links all the time. I said, no thank you. I'm not interested. I'll pay for stuff. I don't care. Even if it's shit... Yeah yeah go on. ...I didn't pay for this one screw it! I watched this someone gave me a Dropbox download and I watched at 1 in the morning on my laptop It was okay for that We paid for it and got an HD version which we watched hmm And it was one of these... You know me about...

18:06 paying for movies, I soon wait for HBO to come out and do the movie. Unless it's a movie that I really want to see... But you're paying for it in another way? I will see a movie at theater if its like spectacular or some movie I really want to see like Birdman, I wouldn't pay for that because whatever cost but we paid for this and it was one of those kind of gotchas It was catch 22 because it was a movie normally If I was watching on HBO I'd be done with it at 15 You know, okay I'm through. There's other things to do with my time. I can't spend... waste my time watching this garbage. I agree! But because i paid for it... And you're gonna watch it? I felt the... Okay so Mimi and I both sat there and watched the whole thing groaning in the whole time and

18:51 I can't say that there wasn't a moment or two where... Yeah, but it was funny stuff. It kind of just was like two items. So what is your point? Okay we got it you didn't like the movie. The point is people do not spend any money on this piece of crap! You're just feeding those hands at Sony who are corrupt Well, yes. And now let's move away from the merits of the celluloid production to CBS News who clearly have been following our lead for several weeks. We have said this is an inside job. This is not North Korea. The evidence,

19:29 The forensics are weak that the FBI presents and it's, you know... By the way the FBI should be ashamed of itself. Hell yeah listen to this As Jerrika Jess reported the FBI blames North Korea for hacking Sony Pictures others are not so sure Sony was not just hacked This was a company that has essentially been nuked from the inside. Kurt Stamberger is a senior vice president with Norse, a respected Silicon Valley cybersecurity firm. Now stop do we know this outfit Norse? Is this truly a respected... No! No? Never heard of them. Okay, well just so you know Mr Tech Journalist they're a respected Silicon Valley cyber security firm Yeah well they might be it's possible it's not as though tech journalists are generally dealing with these obscure firms that do consulting Not directly involved in the Sony case It has conducted its own investigation

20:24 We are very confident that this was not an attack masterminded by North Korea and that insiders were key to the implementation of one of the most devastating attacks in history. Okay, so clearly this is a sales job for Norse because they're so respected but what I liked is they have some data to back up their claim. He says Norse Data is pointing towards a person who calls herself Lena and claims to be connected with the so-called Guardians of Peace hacking group. Norse believes they've identified this person as someone who worked at Sony in Los Angeles for 10 years, including the company this past May. This woman was in precisely the right position

21:08 and had the deep technical background she would need to locate the specific servers that were compromised. Other experts in cyber security and private intelligence are also questioning the FBI's claim that North Korea is solely to blame for the Sony hack There are certainly North Korean fingerprints on this, but when we run all of those leads to ground they turn out to be decoys or red herrings. For instance while the malware used to attack Sony has been used by North Korea before it is also used by hackers around the world every day Now it's worth noting that the original demand

21:47 Hackers was for money from Sony in exchange for not releasing embarrassing information. There was no mention of the movie The Interview, James meanwhile the FBI is continuing its investigation of the Sony hack. A hack! They just like saying a hack. Yeah so thank you very much CBS welcome to reality now here's what wasn't really great about this past week Not only did we have all of this stuff going on But we got a the the script writers Got together and they said you know what? This is so, this is just too good. We need to put out another episode of the show Do you know the show I'm talking about no what? Well met, Emory

22:36 They're talking sensibly. Oh, cool! Yeah I'm missing this. K-I-S-S-I-N-G Come on everybody! It's the Matt and Marie Show Starring... Matt Lee Also starring... Marie Harp Now, I have to say that first of all they were doing some renovation in the regular State Department briefing room. So they were in this big auditorium where they had mics they had to turn on and off and Marie was very uncomfortable because they had the lectern there you know the podium as she would call it and because of the nature of this auditorium which was really kind of like a UN General Assembly type setting

23:29 They had spotlights on her and she was a bit uncomfortable. Now Matt is right off to her right, and he's sitting in pole position if you will. And it was just wonderful John I have to tell you that I learned so much from one briefing not just about Sony but about all world affairs the Matt & Marie show should be prime time must see TV this is so good! Let us start it off with With the first question and answer session between our lovebirds. Well, as the FBI and the president everyone has now made clear we are confident that North Korean government is responsible for this destructive attack. Destructive? We stand by this conclusion The government of North Korea has a long history of denying responsibility for destructive and provocative actions And if they want to help here they can admit their culpability and compensate Sony for damages that they caused Now when I heard this my head spun around

24:30 What? You're gonna send him a bill?! You're calling on the North Korean government to compensate Sony. Is Matt Lee the man or what? Matt Lee, the diplomatic reporter for Associated Press everybody star of our show Well over the weekend they said a number of things including what Pam referenced but also talking about a joint investigation and yes if they want to help here as they indicated over the weekend they did then they could admit their culpability and compensate Sony for the damages this attack caused Okay, and you also said the North Koreans have a long history of covering up? Of denying responsibility for destructive and provocative actions. That's obviously not just cyber related their actions as well How would you rank the US record on that I don't think there's any comparison at all

25:15 Has not the United States government denied responsibility for things that it ultimately admitted to? I don't think there's any comparisons. Anything the US government does and anything the North Korean government does, period. So if you have a more specific question, I'm happy to entertain that. But your broad comparison is just not warranted. Well, for years and years and years, you denied... There was denial of any role in the coup in Iran in 1953, for example. And episodes about which we've been very open and public and discussed are history. Recently but it took 40 years for that to happen. We are, look I will put our record of discussing our history and our past up against any other countries on the planet. Particularly North Korea's Is there anything else on North Korea? What a joke! No BJ for you tonight Matt uh-uh but he comes around later And i'm playing this out of sequence and now Matt has had some time to think about it Because if he finds this very... This is He is kind of a combination If we had a love child He would look like She would look like Matt Lee probably

26:12 But he's now had a chance to think about this. He's like, hold on a second... This compensation bullcrap! Let me see if I can- If I need to get back at this girl because of course they're lovers As you say North Korea is one of the most heavily sanctioned countries in the world and it's pretty hard for it To be involved in any kind of legitimate At least international finance or commerce So with that in mind I'm wondering how much thought was given to the response Put in your response before that North Korea should pay compensation to Sony How could how good North Korea, how could Sony legally accept compensation from North Korea? This is a John C. Dvorak question by the way wait a minute you can't actually accept money from North Korea because You know that's illegal there an exception in the I'm happy to check with our attorneys Would you I mean as far as I know it was gonna

27:03 Yeah, we can bend the rules a little bit. Don't worry about that." I'm glad somebody called her on this bull crap. Oh it's lovely! And why would you come out with this? Oh, y'know... We're gonna make North Korea pay them for what?! What was the damages specifically? What did it amount to? Did she have a number? Did he ask for the number? What's the number? Is it a billion? Is it a million? Is it 100 thousand? Let me see what's on the rest of the clip. And pay compensation. And pay compensation, yes. What do you have in mind for that compensation? Would that be like actor's salaries or something like that? I don't have more specifics for you than that but I'm happy to check with our legal folks and I will try and get a question or answer on this. Actor's salaries... He is kind of asking the question. Yeah.

28:03 But then I did learn something that there's a this is the thing that kind of gets to me as well if he didn't ask these disobvious question would anyone else in the room have said anything they would have just let it was right on by. Well, not everybody There's one other woman and I'm not sure who she works for. It is the woman from RT who keeps asking meaningful questions, but... Yeah but this is not her. This is not the woman from RT. Now this is the next day so this is the second day in this new setting. This is somewhat longer but this is really you probably saw the clip on TV where, you know... so word gets out. Whoa! North Korea's internet is down? Oh okay sure everybody

27:03 Yeah, we can bend the rules a little bit. Don't worry about that." I'm glad somebody called her on this bull crap. Oh it's lovely! And why would you come out with this? Oh, y'know... We're gonna make North Korea pay them for what?! What was the damages specifically? What did it amount to? Did she have a number? Did he ask for the number? What's the number? Is it a billion? Is it a million? Is it 100 thousand? Let me see what's on the rest of the clip. And pay compensation. And pay compensation, yes. What do you have in mind for that compensation? Would that be like actor's salaries or something like that? I don't have more specifics for you than that but I'm happy to check with our legal folks and I will try and get a question or answer on this. Actor's salaries... He is kind of asking the question. Yeah.

28:03 But then I did learn something that there's a this is the thing that kind of gets to me as well if he didn't ask these disobvious question would anyone else in the room have said anything they would have just let it was right on by. Well, not everybody There's one other woman and I'm not sure who she works for. It is the woman from RT who keeps asking meaningful questions, but... Yeah but this is not her. This is not the woman from RT. Now this is the next day so this is the second day in this new setting. This is somewhat longer but this is really you probably saw the clip on TV where, you know... so word gets out. Whoa! North Korea's internet is down? Oh okay sure everybody

28:46 And I'll believe that. Whatever, great! Yeah hey it's probably us." You know so Marie was being grilled and this one woman is like you know what's going on? She says oh well you know...I don't really know. Now that's when Matt should have come back and said are we gonna pay them compensation for cutting off their internet? Well that didn't happen but I do want to play this interaction the next day where they all coming back and saying hey look Marie You gotta tell us, did we do anything? You can't just say nanananana. Yes Matt. Okay so apropos of questions you were getting yesterday may I ask if the legion of internet users in North Korea should extend? Come on, the Legion!

29:37 He has funny lines that he slips in there. He's got some good some good stuff to face further disruptions of the coming days of their service Well, as I said yesterday, I can't speculate I mean ask the North Koreans if their internet wasn't working and I can't speculate on Why that was if it wasn't I can't confirm the reports that it actually wasn't So I would uh check with them They're certainly the right people to speak to this and how exactly would you suggest we do that email bingo? boomshakalaka. Here comes this woman and so now they're tag team in her, and I don't know who this is now a love triangle with this new woman. I got to find out who she is And by the way Matt just overruled the other reporter that was cool which I think Nicole

30:38 Nicole that's her name Nicole was interpreted by a lot of people to be a kind of nudge-nudge wink wink See now they're getting cute this is a lover spat happening before our very eyes I know and what I said, I said a couple things. I said I can't comment on those reports one way or the other I can't confirm them one way or the other I don't actually know that their internet without bring in the other woman I was broadly speaking about what the president has said. Cue the other woman! And no one was trying to link it to yesterday's activity and i understand that it was sort of interpreted that way and did not mean to be. Can I ask something more pointed particularly about that? We're not asking you anymore like if the internet was shut down, it clearly seems they've had some kind of interruption so just point blank, was the US involved

31:24 in anything related to the internet shutting down in North Korea. Now, I would like to point out that I have seen no evidence whatsoever that the internet was shut down in North Korea Have you John? Have you seen any real evidence? I don't know what evidence i'd look for. Thank you! What evidence do you look for? Anything, any kind of forensics network forensics that I could find and there's no... I don't even know what node they run through. I have no idea where they're structured. Well apparently they're you know, their transit is coming from China which makes a lot of sense. But even that doesn't necessarily have to be true I mean the whole beauty of the internet is if you could have a 3G connection and they have cell phones in North Korea! You know there could be a network set up that way it could be a million different ways so but everyone is now just assuming

32:15 that this happened without any evidence whatsoever. So now we're just all assuming it took place so now the only thing is... Go to ask Norse! Yeah, I would. This isn't our internet Elise. It's not our Internet Elise This is at least okay North Korean did the US undertake any type of cyber operations that could have led to the North Korean Internet this gets good now I remember this is the other woman don't have any information to share with you about so you're not saying you're not saying absolutely not. You're not, I think I'm not going to comment on those one way or the other and i would caution you from assuming that. I'm not assuming, I'm asking. Caution you? Young lady! Just because we're in this room doesn't mean we can all talk over each other. Oh my god it's turning into terrible. Well this is the soap opera okay do you want me to dump out of this? No Marie should be uh

33:08 More assertive? No, I think she's choking or something. Or she doesn't know...I mean when you see the other...when you see Saki, she is really good at cutting off the conversation. Let's move to something else... Boom! Done! But she's also not having sex with Matt. Harf? Could it work- It doesn't mean if she's having sex with Matt it doesn't mean that she has to continue this conversation unless there's like a little spat. No! She should shut down the conversation if she hasn't you know I don't know Oh and this one time at band camp I stuck a flute in my pussy. It wouldn't be interrupting if she let you finish

33:45 see mad scum it's kind of like spice it up and i think you have to turn the mic on them uh... yet to come in and know what that what i'm saying is look i don't have anything new to share with you today about north korea the president spoke into one our potential responses separate apart from a list of the last twenty four hours might be and i'd leave it to north koreans talk about if their internet was not because it wasn't and why we're just not going entertain questions one way or the other Any of these questions about possible US responses of any kind. And I would caution you from assuming that because I'm not going to comment on them, that the answer means one thing or the other." I'm not assuming anything... Your question sounded like it were. See this is what she doesn't do right? You said we just sounded like you did! Yeah, that's a huge mistake She needs more training No its not its just obviously a lot people are assuming and

34:40 in the business of assuming, I'm in the business of asking you whether the US was involved in this obvious shutdown of North Korea. Obvious shut down now? Don't think we're going to get into the business if every time something happens in a country like North Korea saying yes or no either way that just sets a precedent that quite frankly is not a helpful one and I just don't have more for you. She's not gonna get Psaki's job with this performance! She probably won't even get hold on Matt with his performance So, the North Korean Internet actually runs through Thailand and through the Loxley Pacific. So you could probably do a little research by just calling them... Why does everyone...? This is another thing everyone says, oh it's all China! It's all China? No this runs through Thailand and then before that they were running through a satellite link to Germany for their internet.

35:33 But right now, it all goes to a star joint venture company. Joint venturing North Korean government post telecommunications corporations in Thailand-based Locksley Pacific. There's no China involved here at all." Thank you. With one search... While you're yacking and she's fumbling, I find this out very effortlessly but no one can do the simple search. You could be sitting there in the State Department asking the real questions giving Matt a run for his money. Well, I have a connection. So here is... Probably blocked! Yeah right

36:10 I did find out something else which kind of slipped by that this is not the only thing that's happening with North Korea right now. Apparently there is a United Nations Security Council meeting that is all about North Korea And North Korea has said we're not attending this farce. Today's Security Council meeting is a historic one, I would say for the first time in the situation of North Korea the human rights situation will be a standalone agenda item in the Security Council. I think it's at 3 p.m today This is significant step and will ensure continued council attention to the human rights situation moving forward and demonstrates really that concern of international community

36:52 i guess it's and not surprised had been north korea would seek to avoid scrutiny of icing but anyone who would call an atrocious human rights records russia sat they've been doing so for years The DPRK's heightened diplomatic activity both in New York and around the globe, I think to avoid an examination of this record is pretty telling. And I think probably speaks for itself but we're looking forward to the session this afternoon. We think it's an important step forward. Okay so...we need to find out what came out of that session because i'm sure they're trying to move towards uh you know international criminal court uh, getting Kim Jong-un which is exactly what they don't want. Which is why they released the two prisoners because they wanted to show hey we're really trying to move away from this image This is according to our New York connection which is pretty solid

37:43 So there's nobody's listening to them They're still being used as a punching bag for the purposes of selling weaponry to South Korea now I had the rest of the world for that matter right and But we'll come back later to part two Talking Now, CNN wrote apparently that nearly all the country without attribution of course. Nearly all the countries' internet traffic is routed through China and might be routed through China but it's out of Thailand. But that may or may not be true because as we can tell by today's headlines that CNN apparently has the world's worst journalist

38:32 Do you mean our friend who's sitting at home with his high on crystal meth and a dildo in his boot doing phoning in about the plane? No, that's funny. You'd think it would be him! He is so high have you seen Richard Quest?! I have not seen him for months Oh my goodness So this plane disappears they call him... The expert! Right the expert exactly And he's high as a kite Yeah, that guy's a party animal. He still hides on the air with Skype from home I can't make it in man and then I can't make it in all right so yes alright well lot of miscues anyway this guy has been named the world's we see

39:20 Dubbed the worst journalist of 2014 as a CNN journalist. Who do you think it might be? Worst journalists... Of 2014, this is in a post written by Columbia Journalism Review Do I get one or two questions? Why he deserves among other... yeah don't look it up No no my first question here she so to he so I don't have to ask that question On-air journalists. I didn't say that you didn't say that oh, it's not a CNN person It's just the worst journalist period no is to see an end person if that's your clue On the air might not I'm not saying I just said is some person that's at CNN and You would know I believe I do not absolutely sure about this I am pretty sure that you know who this you would know this guy's name

40:12 And this guy. No, I don't know they all suck Don Lemon Well of course he's on the air see that was what that was gonna be my guess away from the answer That was gonna be my guess and then you confused me I let you away from the answer This is not nice. I was gonna guess it that's why you led me away Yeah, and yeah you were getting there horrible man And they got living there You know gaff after gaff and some of the crap he says one gem lemon was discussing missing mission missing Malaysia flight 370 and decided to black hole Six aviation experts about the preposterous possibility the aircraft was sucked into a black hole yeah oh

40:58 But we played all those clips. We did, we played a lot of them and my favorite has got to be this one. I lied to him and said that I have an infection and if you rape me or if you do, if you have intercourse with me then you will probably get it and give it to your wife. You said he made you perform oral sex? Right you know, there are ways not to perform oral sex if you want to do it. I was kind of stoned at the time and quite honestly that didn't even enter my mind now i wish...it would have

41:37 Fascinating interviewer. Meaning the using of a teeth, right? Yes that's what I'm thinking here. Yeah, I forget that one. Just tell the rape victim she should have bitten the guys dick off. Okay Levin good work give that man a raise That's not it boy does he get a free pass because he's gay why have people not vilified him? Gay black Does you get it at the double he's got a double of get out of free get on jail for your card double There's more to it. It's also Cosby is this a celebrity? You know you keep the stuff doesn't really count if it's about a celebrity just okay before we move on

42:22 I think it is a appropriate time to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C. Dvorak! Well, in the morning to you Adam Curry... And I mean that sincerely. In the morning to you Adam Curry As he brings up the spreadsheet very slowly It's alright, I can stretch just finish it off In the morning to you Adam Correa, in the morning our ships at sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and all The dames and knights out there.

43:06 And thank you to our artists. We used Dennis Cruz's art for episode 681, the Christmas show So we appreciate that there were other pieces that came in but since it was kind of pre-produced we did what we could and Of course, we also did not have donations so this is really for two shows todays donations I presume right? Yes, it's for the last two shows. And it would be nice if I could get this thing settled down... Okay! And I want to thank a few people for helping us out with the last 2 shows even though there is actually only 1,2,3

43:44 For the last two shows, we have three executive producers and two associate executive producers. So I can't say that people were warmed up to our Christmas show.

It adheres to an insane 2015 man hugs from the slave state Singapore He's getting drunk in cinema Singapore he's doing probably a building but the competition is not supposed to know

46:48 Well, they'll find out soon enough when they start erecting it. He reminds me of that movie. He also wrote a lot of Dice Notes he's a great guy. Finkenbeiner in Seattle, Washington. $300. I wanted to do an instant night donation but I still haven't paid for overtime work that I did the beginning of November so here's $300 anyways to The Great Podcast you and John create. I have a few comments regarding my use of Uber on the recent trip to Warsaw. I think this is worth reading. In Warsaw because people like Uber, you're one of them

47:32 After listening to you talk about uber I decided to give it a shot when i traveled, to warsaw And it's to me it seems A stretch to try uber anywhere but here why the works perfect stretch No stretch for what for limo stretching them over Boy they only have uber pop there where if you had sex since you've been up there because You need to release some negative energy Yeah, yeah. The negative energy was that movie. It's just very simple and easy to understand. Okay alright move on! Although now I'm really annoyed that you like the movie... I didn't say I liked it, I said there were some funny moments They only have Uber Pop there which as you informed me on Twitter allows regular people those without a taxi license to use their personal vehicles take fares. I must say that experience was spectacular Huh?

48:29 Every Uber driver was kind and courteous. We struck up conversations with many of them and got great advice on traveling in the country I decided to ask a couple of them what they thought about driving for uber one driver in particular told me he likes driving for uber as Opposed to his old gig is a regular taxi driver because the clientele aren't drunk, and don't puke in my car Yeah He should wait until he drives New Year's Eve But the thing to do is not drive New Year's Eve. I found this funny given that you specifically commented on Uber drivers having customers puke in their cars! That's the way it works in America I would think so. England must really be something, another driver told me he's bored on weekends anyways and he says anyways, so he doesn't mind driving around and making some extra cash. Warsaw service has only been running since September but it sounds like it is growing rather quickly. Okay well that's an interesting sidebar. Since you mentioned it, I have a clip about alcohol in the UK. Hit it!

49:30 When a good time goes wrong, drunk and out of control. But who should be picking up the pieces? Alcohol-fuelled fun can easily turn into something far more serious. Abuse and violence are not uncommon. And it's our doctors and nurses who are often left to deal with the consequences of a night of excess But with already stretched accident and emergency departments, the leader of Britain's A&E doctors says it is time the police did more to help. The bottom line is every minute spent dealing with somebody who is simply disorderly and creating a distraction, it's a minute less of nursing or medical time spent with other patients. Again they may be patients suffering from alcohol intoxication who actually need our assistance." So deterrence should be toughened up drunk and disorderly people arrested and given a criminal record if necessary but this zero tolerance approach would

Again they may be patients suffering from alcohol intoxication who actually need our assistance." So deterrence should be toughened up drunk and disorderly people arrested and given a criminal record if necessary but this zero tolerance approach would

50:29 would take up time and resources. This is so crazy in the UK, you don't need to give people guns to kill each other they're killing themselves just by drinking themselves to death and the emergency rooms are overflowing with drunk puking Brits What do you think's causing this? Alcohol No I mean what do you think there's alcohol everywhere It's their culture But you know, the Brits used to have gin carts in the streets. It is their culture but it's... I mean Michelle my... The whole Garth has a number of drawings of the drunks in England back in the 15-1600s or 1700s And of course its gray, dark, depressing, shitty food and I can go on and on You got a lizard running the country

51:23 Yeah, the lizard probably depressed and then what they do as I know from my friend Michelle the gangster who owns some of these clubs They compete on price and it's a pound for a pint which is a good deal And people are just hammering it down 30 seconds left both in short supply He's quite frankly nonsense. It's over simplistic When we're talking about misuse of drugs and alcohol, to just say actually let's haul them up in front of the court. What this is really about is it's about lack of resources in the public service as a whole There's lack of resources in the police service, there's lack of resources in the ambulance service, there's lack of resources in the NHS More money! And primary care That's the issue that needs to be addressed More money Give us more money How bout solving the problem with your people dude?

52:11 Anyway, there you go. So I don't think Uber Pop is so great in London probably really crap Well, I've said it before I'll say that again. I'll predict it now that uber's doomed Mainly because the local powers-that-be we're gonna finally put a stop to it Although, listening to this note I will say that now I'm a little more amenable to the idea of going with being in Poland or anywhere and getting an Uber. And then asking the guy what would you like? Show me around how much money do you want? Whatever it is that would be fair. They really are not supposed to do that. In Austin they have done stings on the Uber drivers

52:57 To say, hey man how about if I just give you 40 bucks cash? And if they accept it then whoop! Then they get arrested. So with a taxi guy the guy that can actually ask him in most parts of the world to give you a little tour or like in China for example they'll give you a tour whether you want it or not because this is just where they take you there anyway okay. Alright sorry Onward. I can't, by the way there's a no- okay Kirk Ann. No it gives us Ann- It's not Ann Kirk, it's Kirk Ann and Janice

53:32 Geneseo, New York 23456. Yes he's going to be a knight!

54:30 But she's from Lisbon, Ohio. We have other people in Lisbon, Ohio don't we? Yeah go knock on her door! Find out what's going on... Okay well it's always good to see our peerage step into to pick up some of the slack Sir Mark Dython Baron of Tokyo Grand Duke Sir Stephen Pelsmacher And of course Eric and Kirk and Claudia. Thank you very much for supporting the program these credits are real this associate Executive producer, and of course the executive producers You can use these wherever critics are accepted and unlike the phonies in Hollywood We'll be very happy to vouch for you then please remember we're doing this show on Thursday which will be New Year's Day

55:12 And I want to remind people that we do have email, or not email but actual postal mail that has backed up since i've been traveling. Okay and you're up in Port Angeles now right? Yeah! You sound great. Good thanks. Devorak dot org slash N A And of course we always wanted to be out there doing the very fine work of propagating our formula Our formula is this We hit people in the mouth Shut Up! Wait

55:50 Shut up, slave. A couple of interesting things happened around Christmas while we were all very distracted about can I get it on Netflix? Is that on Netflix? Can I get it on Netflix? That's what everyone was talking about. Hey Matt, can I watch the movie on Netflix? Can I get it on Netflix? We had two things take place. Let me start at home first The NSA released what I would call their little Christmas Eve surprise. They released 12 years of internal oversight reports documenting abusive and improper practices by agency employees, this would be all the stuff where they say oh man, I accidentally trapped some information about an American

56:52 Ugh, all wrong. Sorry didn't mean to do that Here's the problem this thing is so heavily redacted They removed the number that tells us how many times this has happened What good is that? How many times has this actually happened? Well, we can't know because that has been redacted out of the report. Of course I've read this report for you... Why would that number be redacted? What's the importance of that number that it's a threat to national security? I can't answer that because these questions have not yet been asked or at least they have not been published if these questions had been asked. I have not seen this. I have not seen anywhere why

57:33 Now these were released in response to a FOIA request submitted by the ACLU, which is the American Civil Liberties Union. It has some funny stuff in there which the press is reporting on of course and why it actually goes... At one instance, and here's the press reports. In one instance an NSA employee searched her spouse's personal telephone directory without his knowledge to obtain names and numbers for targeting a practice which previous reports have indicated was common enough to warrant the name Love Int. Did you know we have human int? And Sig Ints? What is surprising again there's really nothing in here

58:18 of any value. Yeah, okay so we know that stuff happens and you know it is of course embarrassing but here I have the report here there were redacted of incidents involving the use of improper retrieval strategies against redacted raw traffic files this quarter but what good is that on redacted Occasions during the fourth quarter, analysts performed overly broad or poorly constructed database queries that potentially selected or returned information about United States persons. These queries used redacted that produced imprecise results on redacted of those occasions the queries return results which were deleted or aged off." I mean this is useless it's useless and i don't understand why we... It must be either the numbers they must be so high this number

59:12 that it's just embarrassing and then figure we're just not gonna release that, and we'll fight it I guess. Well the reason for redaction is to protect national security. Yeah that would be... Or individual personal rights you want take names of agents out. But a number or just a number of times... You have to come up with some rationale say that we have to redact this number because of security reasons. How about this? We are so...the number is so high, that if this number came out our enemies who want to kill us would know that we suck therefore national security problem what do you think well the number could be solo let's assume that lets look on the bright side here

1:00:04 Where's John? What have you done with the real Johnson? It could be like the number could be one or two And we can't let that number out. Well if you look at these it'll frighten of you know, it'll frighten someone if you look at the The document the black stripe is longer than just a 1 or 2 Oh I'm thinking this is like a visit at one to you so you can You can estimate five number of digits. I'm seeing five digits what I think and Which I think would be, well, I don't know if that's high or not. What? So if it's somebody... Twenty thousand. Did some spying on their mates 5,000 times you don't think that's a high number? Yeah, I do but look, I'm just playing the game with you. I don't know why... Could be 20,000 is the possibility of six digits? No, I think it's probably in the 30-20-30 thousands. That's what I think it is

1:01:07 30,000? Oh geez. That's what I think Well that might be but that would make sense that i would redact that I'd redact all numbers over 10 000 You're hired! Good...I hear there's an opening Other things There is always an opening Here's something they didn't redact but I find interesting Yeah And I can see this happening if you know If you're doing this all day long and you're filling in numbers Let me check this guy's phone number This guy's phone number An amazing amount of times, agents entered their own phone number. Which is reported in the report as a mistake. No! In one unintentionally... That's not a mistake! ...an NSA analyst is said to have targeted his personal cell phone because he mistakenly thought it would be acceptable to redacted. What? Yeah

1:02:06 The guy targeted his personal cell phone because he mistakenly thought, this is a quote, it would be acceptable to... and I guess there's a name redacted or maybe an agency. It's acceptable to redacted? Yeah So in other words he thought it was acceptable too and we don't know why it was acceptable as that word's redacted?! Yeah! I guess Behavior maybe the word was behavior Could be Is acceptable behavior Acceptable...it says acceptable to It could be the boss, it could be a different agency. It could be the North Koreans or the agencies that was acceptable to the NSA. It could be. I personally from that perspective, I think it should be acceptable. If I'm working there, I should be able look at my own number

1:02:56 Well, that is not policy. Why? Oh God John I don't know! It's bad policy then...I think you should be able to look up your own numbers like it's like a vanity search Don't you want to put your name in Google and say oh I didn't know this was going on at all Hey hold on a second who knew?! I didn't know this was happening Yeah I'm all good with that. Well, let's move along then and which i think is more important...I want to run a couple names by you now this goes back to the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993 And this means that if the federal government asks you To participate in certain types of activities

1:03:50 In this case, the Consortium for Homeland Security Technology. Then you can get all kinds of benefits like payment in 30 days but also indemnification and so this came out... This is from the president I'm sorry this is This is from Patricia A. Brink, Director of Civil Enforcement Antitrust Division but she does say very specifically notices hereby given pursuant to Section 6A of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993 consortium for Homeland Security Technology has filed written notification simultaneously with the Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission disclosing the identities of the parties to the venture and the nature and objectives of the venture

1:04:42 The notifications were filed for the purpose of invoking the Act's provisions limiting the recovery of antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages under specified circumstances. A groovy position, I would say! So let's take a look at what this thing is doing... You're interested right? Oh Is that a yes? I'm always interested in this crap. The general area of consortium's planned activity is to A, enter into an other transaction agreement known as an OT agreement with the US government for the funding of certain research development testing and evaluation of prototypes to be conducted as a collaboration between the government and the consortia members This is what we call a private-public partnership Cyber sharing

1:05:30 to enhance the capabilities of the government and its departments and agencies in the fields of... there we go, border and maritime security chemical and biological defense cyber security explosives countermeasures first response and resilient systems. So if somebody makes a germ warfare bomb and it takes out half of St Louis they're good to go If they were doing it as a part of the consortium, yes. Yeah that's what I mean. Now tell me if you know any of these companies? I didn't recognize a single one but i know that we have a reasonable reach and there will be producers who probably even work at some of these companies so we want to hear what you guys are up to

1:06:23 Here we go. The parties are, for the Consortium of Homeland Security Technology in Washington DC Chesapeake Cartridge Corporation. Okay they probably make bullets? Yes they're in Blacksburg Virginia DNS Consultants Inc. Sound like a... already starts to sound like a bunch of Obama packagers that got him a lot of money and now next thing you know they've got a contract How about these guys Interop Tech I may have heard of them hold on let me look them up Interop Tech with the Tango Echo Kilo at the end. Interop Tech, it's a tech company I guess. Interop Tech. It's T-E-C-K... No, T-E-K. Interop Tech. Interop Tech Inc., Huntsville Alabama. No, Huntsville yeah?

Wait a minute hold on am I reading this maybe reading it wrong yeah to Louisiana Tech University Rustin, Louisiana Well who you said Huntsville!

Okay well Louisiana Tech is a well-known university so they would have an outpost probably and they're good to go we have OG Systems We have Protonex Technology Corporations Strategic Support Group Here's one in Coronado, California which is military. R-E-K Associates These are all LLCs by the way easy to hide and get rid of. R3 Strategic Group Inc SouthRiding... what is this?

I am the CEO Dan Tecchielli TV oh my god he look at this guy he looks like Oh my god, you gotta watch this guy. I can't watch it like there's no mute button on this video so i have to listen to it when yours otherwise just bleeds through oh okay well he looks like he just took a shower uh but he looks like who is that he likes mark like a like a grungy mark cuban thank you saint louis crushed it!

1:10:58 Sounds like a bunch of kids just out of college. This is great Oh Hackathon, they did a hackathon got it talent the cyber threat company this is bullcrap yes Yeah, yeah all right our government at work I mean our government's throwing money away like this meanwhile we have this kind of anomaly play this clip amateur driving van

1:11:38 Fresh embarrassment this morning meanwhile for the Secret Service and this comes after a very, very rough year. It has come to light that the agency has been using untrained volunteers to drive some of the vehicles in the presidential motorcade turns out This is what happening for a very long time as an uber driver I'm an ABC's Jim Avila with the president and we have uber presidential our new service Honolulu Hawaii has the very latest Dan and Paula, you'd think the middle of a presidential motorcade would be no place for amateurs. But right there among the Secret Service and the police just yards from the president is an untrained volunteer The President on the way back from his morning workout in Hawaii His SUV buried in the middle of as many as 20 imposing secret service black cars And local police escorts also in the middle of the pack a few cars back from

1:12:30 president himself rolls the lowly White House press corps van driven by well just about anyone. I'm telling you they should have uber presidential yeah this is what a great idea i think uber should jump on that immediately hey do you have a you know do you have a governmental motorcade and your short of driver The one picture they showed, apparently it's been going on for a while. They have this just saying and did what one of the women who was busted for this said well I'm a friend of mine I didn't know a friend that works at the White House she asked if i wanted to do it as casual it was and they showed a picture of one of these press vans I swear to god it was a paddy wagon and then guess you get depressed guys in there blocked in the back That's funny And because there were too many of them for their just a regular escalade

1:13:19 It's ridiculous. So they don't pay these people, they're volunteers and we're throwing money away left and right... I mean a lot of this makes no sense You get connected the right way you get a bunch of free money And you get indemnified of all things I'm sure this woman is not even indemnified if she flips the van and kills a couple reporters Here is what I don't understand How stupid are you and I? This is it. We could have our future set we can do what these dickheads do put up a website and would do a hackathon Yeah, yeah

1:13:57 Anyone can actually, but you need the connections. You need the political connections. There's no doubt in my mind there's political connections if you start digging into these companies it'd be some guy who is responsible for these deals. There are tons of companies in Silicon Valley that can do these things but they're not all connected the right way and that's why some of the venture capital firms always have some political guy amongst their partners. I mean, Colin Powell is at Kleiner Perkins. Gore Vidal's at Gore Vidal. Gore Al Gore. Gore Vidal's corpse is at Kleiner Perkins. Al Gore anyways stuff like that yeah. Did you say any ways? No I said anyway but did not say any ways. It must be my ears well anyways then yes on Christmas while this is going on Vladimir Putin

1:14:56 also released a little document of his own, which is the Military Doctrine of the Russian Federation. And guess what? They've indemnified OG Systems I've read through it and I've marked up some pertinent bits as i have a translation meant for...which an approved release, English version Of The Military Doctrine of The Russian Federation Are you interested in hearing some of this I'm not sure because it might be interesting. Let me give it a try, but I'll just skip around a bit. The legal basis for the military doctrine consists of... I would ask the question initially why is there such a document? It is very similar to if you look at our National Defense Authorization Act which has folded into the omnibus spending bill

1:15:59 It kind of shows what we're going to do and what our plan is for the next couple years. The Constitution of the Russian Federation generally recognized principles of international law, international treaties of the Russian Federation in the field defense arms control and disarmament, the federal constitutional laws, federal laws and legal acts President of the Russian Federation, the government of the Russian Federation. This is what constitutes this... it constitutes the military doctrine so this is the strategy and tactics of Russia which was until the year 2020 that's what this is which includes the strategy for development of the Arctic Zone So this is telegraphing as to what this is

1:16:42 Who thinks they own the North Pole and Arctic zone? And yeah, Denmark now America. Now I'm not in Finland now it's going to be us. Well, I think they have a claim at least half of it. Sure they do! The military doctrine reflects the commitment of the Russian Federation to use to protect national interests, country and the interest of its allies military action only after exhaustion of opportunities and applications such as political diplomatic legal economic information other instruments of non-violent nature. So they're kind of setting up saying you know we don't really resort to this military doctrine unless we've exhausted all other areas and then they have um

1:17:23 The following basic concepts of the doctrine, where they look at something could be a military threat. Which would be domestic relations characterized as a set of factors that could under certain conditions lead to a military threat. They have military conflict armed conflict, local war regional war large-scale war military policy military organization planning readiness and system non nuclear containment complex of foreign policy as a foreign policy. And they now discuss the dangers that could possibly evoke the Military Doctrine and I'm just skipping past a whole bunch

1:18:09 The main external military dangers are a capacity power potential organization such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and giving it global functions carried out in violation of international law, the approach of military infrastructure countries members of NATO to the borders in the Russian Federation including through further expansion of the bloc to destabilize these countries. So they're pretty much saying NATO is on our borders, they are destabilizing countries that are not NATO members and therefore we can evoke the doctrine. We could do something about it. Yeah. Here's one I find interesting... They see as a threat to evoke the military doctrine the creation and deployment strategic systems missile defense which is you know

1:19:04 the missiles we had in Poland. Anti-ballistic missile system. Undermining global stability and violate the balance of forces in nuclear missile sphere, including implementation of the concept of Global Shot quotation marks. Are you familiar with Global Shot? It's where you have a whiskey every time somebody says the word... No? This is gonna be your show title. Global shot! The intent to place weapons in space That's what I always say if you really, if you really want to do it right. You get your thing up in the space so that you can shoot anybody from space at any time and its called the global shot

1:19:49 The use of military force in the territories contiguous with the Russian Federation and its allies violate the Charter of United Nations and other rules of international law according to this document by the President of Russia. Here is, The use of information communication technologies in military political purposes for acts contrary to international law aimed versus sovereignty political independence territorial integrity of states and threatening international peace security global and regional stability So they're saying your propaganda is a problem for us. And here's the nature and characteristics of modern warfare conflict as Vladimir Putin sees it, integrated use of military force political economic informational and other non-military measures in nature implemented with the extensive use of the protest potential of the population and special operations forces pretty much what happened in Ukraine

1:20:43 Massive use of weapons, systems and military technology. Precision hypersonic weapons their means electronic warfare Weapons based on new physical principles which were flying saucers Comparable inefficiency with nuclear weapons management information systems and unmanned aircraft And autonomous marine vehicles controlled robotic weapons and military equipment So what they're saying is that we need to kind of go do the same thing And what Putin says in this document is, we spend $50 billion on our military industrial complex. America just spent $567 billion dollars. We need to man up! And then he talks specifically in this document... Well you can't afford to man-up. No

1:21:30 But, you know, he'll bankrupt this country. We can't either but we have the opportunity to print the money out... To print the money? Yeah! We print the money and that's the cool thing about it. That what so cool about being 70 or 80 trillion dollars in debt. Hey, you know what's cool? Printing money. You want to spend 50 billion thinking its big deal? Well spend a trillion. Printing money without a doubt is cool shit Yeah, it's doable. You can do it without causing hyperinflation and all these things people... Adam- No we're great! We're eating mac and cheese. So the president says he wants to expand the range of partners in development cooperation with them on the basis of common interests in the fields of strengthening international security in accordance with the provisions of the UN Charter. And they are going to do that as a Russian Federation expansion interaction with these states members of The BRICS

1:22:20 which would be Brazil, it says BRICS right here. Brazil Russia India China and South Africa. Strengthening the collective security system in the framework Collective Security Treaty Organization which I've not heard yet the CSTO but it goes along with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization which is also going to be strengthened as a part of the military doctrine of Russia And so, and just scroll down to the bottom. Good luck with this! And then it says he wants to develop a military industrial complex. It says right here development of... They already have... they want to develop? Hey buddy it's a bad idea

1:23:06 They said, well he hasn't learned. Development of the military-industrial complex The main task of the military industrial complex is security It's effective functioning as a high tech multi sector of economy able to meet the needs of armed forces and other troops and bodies in the modern armament military and special equipment And provides strategic presence of the Russian Federation in the world markets for high tech products and services Now, that's...now you can say you're gonna kill people. You're gonna take out NATO states but bitch if you think you're going to try and weasel in on our sales now you got a problem." Well they've always done well against us selling. They are not weaseling in. They are a competitor. The Europeans are too I think there is about something else than just simple sales. I mean they sell the India...the Indians have never warmed up to our gear ever! That's why they have terrorism

1:24:02 Come on we even know maybe true. We yes, this is what this isn't this is Predicted this is nothing it's just predicted geez that's predicted and by the way The advantage we have over the Russian gear is that ours is field tested? Hmm. We have a lot of field tested here that we can show a client that it works and So I was surfing the channels. We have movies! That's right, and we're not afraid to watch them. That's right...I saw on TV and i only watched for a little bit but it caught my eye the Bitcoin Bowl? No. Yes there was a football game

1:24:55 In Florida. Oh yeah, right! There's a bunch of screwball... The Bitcoin Bowl. Who pays for the Bitcoin Bowl? I don't know but then they have on the field it was BitPay which is one of those conversion guys. Okay that's the guys who sponsored the bowl then Yeah You know those things cost millions of dollars to sponsor. Yeah, this is obvious dot-com bubble explosion time I mean i expected the sock puppet, the pets dot com to pop out you know? I have one of those! I'm sure you do somewhere... I should have bought more than one apparently more than 100 St Petersburg businesses will be accepting bitcoin as payment

1:25:40 Actually this month, so that's just started because of the of the of the bowl. I don't know a couple people asked me about Exchange traded funds regarding the Russian economy that we talked about on the note under DHM plug show I should just Just tell you that the RSX is the one you want to look at and see what's what okay? It's dropped from 30 to 15 as the Russian ruble has gone depressed and is oversold right now. It's a very interesting possibility for people who know how to play these things, I'm not giving any marketing advice whatsoever, just mentioning the specific symbol. I've been reading through as many documents as possible trying to understand the oil price dropping.

1:26:28 And I came across one theory, which I think came via William Engdahl who's a professor. I have a theory it was overpriced all along but go on! Well so what we look at is the September 11th 2014 visit of John Kerry to Saudi Arabia and this is being heralded as the moment when he said hey remember last time we screwed everybody? Which was...what was that 80 86 maybe? It was somewhere in the mid 80s. Yeah, I think it was 86 we really dropped into 20 or something and that's when we bankrupted Russia the first time right um so there's a lot of people saying and but i can't give the guy that much credit Lurch but okay so maybe he did what another theory i heard

1:27:22 which of course OPEC and the Saudis have said we're not going to reduce our output production. I believe if you look at how many, what they do like 1.9 million barrels a day? I'm just making this up i think it's something maybe 2.9 but the demand is you know 1.6 so they know they're overproducing which yeah that should affect price somewhere. I don't know if it affects it to this level but what I heard The, some American companies went in showed the Saudis how to do saltwater fracking in some of their older wells. Which is a very dangerous, apparently a very dangerous procedure because you have to kind of keep it moving. You can't stop it once the pressure is so high which means you have to keep pumping oil

1:28:11 And so the story I heard is that they got duped, they duped the Saudis into doing this saltwater fracking. And now they can't...they literally can't stop the flow of oil from these older wells from these fracking wells because it could...you know, they could bloat up. How's that sound to you? Howard Baetjer Sounds far-fetched. Mike Miller Okay. I've got three stories on this one. Howard Baetjer I like it though. Mike Miller Yeah. Howard Baetjer I like it as an idea I thought it was interesting. Yeah, I don't believe it these guys It's not as though you got a bunch of you know that that says that story assumes the dumb Arab in the formula Got no petroleum engineers they don't know what to hell they're doing it's a miracle they can pump a barrel

1:28:59 I don't, i just don't think so. I can just see it! Hey! Hey you stupid Arab! Hey do you like my new Rolls Royce? Yeah keep that oil pumping from your saltwater frackin' son yeah well I like it too I'll keep my eye on it I think it's funny uh meanwhile China has stepped in to try and... We'll take all the oil you can pump. Well, but they're also apparently trying to become the world's new bank This is Bloomberg I think that wrote it Yeah this is a problem with us

1:29:36 Thanks to China, Fifi Lagarde of the IMF, Jim Yong Kim of the World Bank and Takhiko Nakao of the Asian Development Bank may no longer have meaningful work to do. Beijing's moved to bail out Russia on top of its which is they did through a currency swap I believe which is this It's a great way, that's what derivatives are is the simplest form to swap out. So you kind of limit your exposure some of the upside as well but certainly limit your exposure and your risk on the downside if it comes to currencies my god it sounds like I know what I'm talking about And they are aiding Venezuela Argentina

1:30:16 And yeah, this is potentially going to be a real problem if... Well you know we already sent him a message with those Hong Kong riots and said you don't have these in your country yet but here's an umbrella. Yeah, here's an umbrella for a gift. Do you like this umbrella? Yeah pay attention So you guys the other thing would be the message You guys so you guys aren't doing well enough your productivity and all the rest of it all their numbers in the economic boom is not good enough for you And so you're gonna You're going to screw with the system that has made you one of the richest countries and one of the biggest economies in the world, if not the biggest. So that's what you're going to do because you're not doing well enough." That's the message you're telling us when you say this to us. And you think that works with the Chiners? Do you think they get all like, oh yeah I'll show you... No? I think we can send messages to them

1:31:10 They know where the bread's butter. They can't go along with Russia, I mean, I can see Russia they don't care but the Chinese they would bail out on this BRICS thing in a second if they really had to. Well, it seems like it is an alternative to 2010 reforms which we will not ratify which would allow China to be number two spot in the pecking order of the IMF So they have to do something, I presume. It's interesting. Well we're not putting up with a new reserve currency actually getting foothold. We put up with maybe a little bit of action for the euro.

1:32:00 international trade agreements in euros. But now, otherwise we can't print money would be screwed. Well along with this comes and of course I brought this news to you... And by the way we should mention the Chinese that if we get screwed The whole world's economy collapses and they're screwed too. Oh yeah, of course! It's like we're a guy with a bomb vest pulling the button down We're not gonna buy no more iPhones But boy can know we won't This is what the Chinese secretly know You American Yankees, you're not gonna stop buying our iPhones? No we're addicted to our shit. If we go completely bankrupt if we have to actually pay off that 75 trillion or whatever... Oh that's not going happen. Some huge... It would happen if we don't can print money anymore! Yeah well how are we doing did you check? We're doing fine with printing. We eat mac and cheese were doing fine. We're doing fine now but these guys keep they keep maneuvering

1:32:56 Meanwhile, the Nicaraguan Canal is real. You were somewhat skeptical when I started talking about this months ago and... I wasn't skeptical that they would do- what was I skeptical about? That it was going to happen at all No no! I always knew they were gonna try to do something. Well then I misunderstood. I just don't think it's going to happen in terms of finishing it We have our producer on the ground Colin Hey guys, in the morning here from Nicaragua. The info on the canal looks like it's moving on they did a big groundbreaking on Monday and he sent us a couple of links so they dug a hole they told the foreign press that would be picked up from the hotel to come to the ground breaking but not only did the bus never come to pick up the press they held the event five hours early

1:33:44 because they didn't want any protests. Mr Wang, the developer made some statements about how the land will be taken from Nicaraguans but paid based upon market principles this is the eminent domain concept. This is good I was right! Yeah local protests were few but but had some bloodshed apparently, not much. Just some cuts and bruises. Environmental studies lands assessments engineering plans are scheduled to be completed or brushed aside by mid 2015 at which point construction is scheduled to begin this canal will be a game changer in world trade says Mr Wang other interesting aspects of the canal include Lake Nicaragua which will change from freshwater to saltwater holy crap that's well that kills all the fish wow

1:34:39 Wow, it's so much for the start environmental disaster this will never get that far the canal will include well hold on Do you say that but I wouldn't be too quick when you know? The canal will include a golf course resort for their for the elites at Jack Nicklaus designed course and three other resorts along its path Also, you can play golf while watching giant ships go to yeah. Well watching your buildings belching Carbon out them stacks Oh, okay. Thank you for bringing that up. You reminded me of something... Alright. You remember the president's science advisor? John P Holdren He is the guy who advises our President on all things science and in particular climate change And if you recall Mr. Holdren back in the 70s was on the side of global cooling

1:35:38 But we write that guy, that guy. So now of course he's on the side of global warming as one does with the whites while you don't call it global warming anymore. We just change that to climate change and you remember he did this hashtag ask Dr H Yeah, I mocked it. I said really? And we read a couple of the fake responses people saying like hey how come you're all in on global cooling and now it's global warming answer that Dr H so now they've taken I don't know if they hid all the offensive ones from him and just said oh we printed some out here could you answer these and let me ask you um

1:36:18 People, what we exhale is carbon dioxide. CO2. It's a mixture it's mostly nitrogen. Okay but it's... We breathe in you know 20% oxygen some carbon dioxide and the most like 70% plus nitrogen so we're breathing in nitrogen where we exhaling nitrogen lots of it So no matter what if we're alive on this planet there's got to be some carbon dioxide Well, if there's no carbon dioxide there is no plant life. Robert Heston asked via Facebook Do you know the amount and rate of reduction in carbon emissions that world would have to achieve in order to prevent an unstoppable process of methane release from Arctic areas? Well I'm so glad you asked me there on Facebook! Arctic permafrost contains huge quantities of stored carbon

1:37:07 some of which would be released to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide and methane if the permafrost thawed as a result of global warming. Similarly, there are large stores of methane frozen into ice crystals under the Arctic Ocean some of which could also be released if enough warming occurred Release of any significant fraction of these carbon stocks would speed up the pace of global warming in what scientists call a positive feedback, which is a bad thing despite the positive label. No one knows for sure how much warming would be enough to produce this result But it's thought to be considerably less likely to happen if the ultimate warming is less than 2 degrees Celsius, that is 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit above the pre-industrial value than if the ultimate warming is greater than that That is one of the reasons why the nations that are party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change

1:37:59 have embraced a global goal of keeping the increase below 2 degrees Celsius. And here it comes! To have a better than even chance of meeting that goal would require global emissions of carbon dioxide to be about 50% below their 2005 value by 2050 and close to zero by 2100 That will not be easy, but with appropriate leadership from the United States China and other big emitters it can be done So... Zero? Just zero Yeah, zero. So then are we dead? By the way they mean emissions and I would say that the natural carbon dioxide is going to stay there. Oh okay. So we have 78% nitrogen 21% oxygen in the atmosphere currently used to be up as high as 25 during the dinosaur era that's why everything is so big I think

1:38:49 Whatever the case, yeah. They just mean no emissions man-made emissions on top of what's natural? Yeah Well meanwhile have you looked at your old crap by horse its bullcrap Have you looked to Europe have you seen what's going on with Europe remember these fights in shopping malls No, we got the fights in shopping malls a poor children The poor no more children who would never find away I want to interrupt for a second I do want to do a clarification before it goes too far along and I do have the numbers on OPEC, daily production total OPEC which is everybody except you know Canada. Is Canada in there? Canada doesn't seem to be in there so that would be more than this 31.6 million barrels a day and what is demand

1:39:38 Well, the demand is...I don't have the demand numbers. I can look those up too but it seems as if that everyone wants everyone to cut a million here and a million there but it's not gonna happen. And this is actually down from let's see 2000... 2008 was 32 million went way down in 2009 which is when things started to spike up. Oh! That's cut production and make gas prices go during Obama's administration anyway. Well, the poor children of Europe as you know John was not cool man is now 11 years ago I believe it was the only place they would see snow would be in a snow globe. Oh you would never see snow again they said no chilled children only knows snow from the movies

1:40:24 and from snow globes. Traffic has remained heavy in the French Alps after a night which saw 15,000 people stranded by snow and forced to seek emergency shelter Many cars weren't equipped with snow chains despite official warnings The authorities have since declared them compulsory on certain routes One young man died when his car left the main road and fell 200 meters down a mountainside More than 80 emergency shelters were crammed full overnight The authorities said they had no idea how many people had spent the night in their cars. This volunteer says, it's been more than 10 years since we've triggered an emergency plan like this... It is really the number of people! I don't have the figures but it's really extraordinary." At Shonbury Airport more than 2,000 mainly British tourists were unable to fly home from ski holidays due to weather. Drivers heading towards ski resorts were turned back on two motorways

1:41:17 Four departments remained on alert for snow and ice as more snow was forecast. They evolve from climate change or the global warming, the climate change to... Climate disruption. Weather isn't climate, weather isn't climate, uh... Weather is climate! Extreme weather events now witnessing this an extreme weather event totally explained as an extreme weather event part of the global warming phenomenon It happens every year though I don't know why you're so skeptical about this it's obviously what's going on its a climate event

1:41:58 Oh, it's a climate event. Climate event. Oh... Okay. We're gonna have more and more of these! Shut up already! It's science! Well alright now you ready for a little quiz? I'm game for a quiz. Okay, now this is a Christmas quiz so you may can you get back in the feeling? Can you feel yourself back in Christmas? Can you get to it? Do you need help? Will you be okay? You think you can do it? I think so Maybe... This always helps And he's playing jingle bells very nice listen to this report on NBC, network television and tell me what is missing.

1:42:43 This is a little different. What is missing? It's like one of those things where you show the cartoon and I would picture next to it, and something's missing Yes yes! What is missing from this report about Christmas You ready? Okay Finally on this special night A question What does Christmas mean to you Maybe its the presents The lights The music or getting together with loved ones We put the question to people around the country And discovered once again that Christmas means something a little different to everyone. We are looking for the perfect Christmas tree, our first Christmas tree in our brand new house. Christmas is redemption love joy happiness and a fresh start to a new year. Christmas is awesome time to spend with my family. Christmas means having great food

1:43:34 Good drink, lots of friends and a red velvet cake. Opening day presents. A little eggnog never hurt! Christmas is spending time with your family Amazing gifts Santa brings me toys I'm on the niceness Usually on Christmas Eve i'm the one that vacuums the house Happy Hanukkah Merry Christmas to you and your dogs. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! There you go...and the question is what was missing? Let's break this down One thing missing of course was since they had a gratuitous mention

1:44:20 of Hanukkah, there was no mention of Kwanzaa but okay we'll let that one slide. That's not like all of it. Let me think what would be missing from this particular... What network was this on by the way? NBC, The National Broadcast Corporation Well, maybe if you think NBC stands for the national birth of Christ was missing from the report. Very good John Cena! Come on back to Post Christmas. Man I'm not a church going guy or religious guy. You're an agnostic character if there ever was. But come on even I am seeing that this is kind of war on religion.

1:45:03 Bullcrap! Could they just say, oh yeah we celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus. Even kids sometimes but maybe someone said it but they didn't put it in that package No, but you end up with stories like this which are kind of disgusting. This is the pig head vandal story that was a local issue or not local. The media say police have made no arrests and are calling for the public's help to find out who was behind this. Meanwhile, this small parish about 35 miles north of Boston is dealing with a Christmas holiday that was marred by an act of vandalism.

1:45:49 Now if you want to take Christ out of Christmas, even though it's kind of in the word. If you want to do that completely let's just drop the holiday no more religious celebrations which go by the way also bounces Easter So let's get rid of Easter and Easter vacation Let's get rid of Easter Easter vacation Which is now known not for you know they've taken Christ out of that too and made that a a spring break. What's going on in Fort Lauderdale, Dale? Well we're here with Spuds McKenzie John I'm glad you asked and we're about to do the big belly flop contest! Look at those Hawaiian tropic ba-babes! Are there a lot of drinking going on out here? You bet there is John drinking is what it's all about hey now well thanks for the report your welcome Hey babes hey girls let's do another shot so if you gotta take religious

1:46:40 holidays out because you're offending somebody who should be grateful they're getting some time off whoever they are I mean the atheists hate this uh the bitches, you hear bitching and moaning from the Jewish community and the Muslims. That's why they slipped in a bit. Take them out! Get rid of these holidays just eliminate them and make people work those weeks. That's why they slipped in a little happy Hanukkah The little the little joke of it is of course was the fresh and did one asshole. Oh Christmas marks a fresh new start no redemption marks a fresh new start jerk Exactly Holiday religious holiday in some fashion. I don't know is not a holiday for us whatever the case

1:47:27 Just get rid of these religious holidays and be done with it, if that's the way you feel. So the president did... That's new NBC! Yes, NBC The president did his podcast for Christmas Is this the one where Michelle is standing there? No There was one that two of them did together Yeah And she's standing there reading or sitting and he has got his mouth open kind-of mouthing the words on the prompter It's yeah no Now, I just wanted to... Just pulled a little clip from his podcast. It felt... How can i explain it?

1:48:07 Eh, just listen to it. Six years since the financial crisis have demanded hard work and sacrifice on everyone's part Oh yeah It's kind of a wrap-up of how great we're doing But as a country We have every right to be proud of what we've got to show for it Okay More jobs More insured A growing economy Shrinking deficits Bustling industry Booming energy Bustling? Booming? Pick any metric you want How about you six numbers? Oh, I'm sorry. I can't use that one America's resurgence is real real and we now have the he's like He's like Alex Jones is real this research is just real And we now have the chance to reverse the decades-long erosion of middle class jobs and incomes Yeah to drive in puking people around in your in your leased vehicle for uber

1:48:58 We just have to invest in the things we know will secure even faster growth and higher paying jobs for more Americans. Alright, what is that? Oh! What?! Are you ready? Yeah, what? Okay let's find out Hold on let me roll it back just a little bit For more Americans We have to make sure our economy, our justice system and our government... Did he say economy or a-conomy? Uh... Aconomy. I think he just said conomy He said economy and our justice system which as you know needs to be revamped because ya know bunch of Ku Klux Klan guys running around killing black people Oh! So yeah And our government will work not only for a few but for all of us

1:49:37 Like the bankers. We're gonna throw some bankers in jail, Barack? How about that? Let's start with that with our Justice Department What do you say Holder let's throw some bankers in jail Oh No I look forward to working together with the new Congress next year on these priorities Sure we'll disagree on some things will have to compromise on others. I'll act on my own when it's necessary Whoa hey he'll act on his own when is necessary Heil Hitler! Wow, beautiful. But I'll never stop trying to make life better for people like you because thanks to your efforts a new foundation is laid A new future is ready to be written We have set the stage for a New American moment and I'm gonna spend every minute of my last two years making sure we seize it There's indeed for rescue mission when the world is threatened The world needs help It calls on America

1:50:39 And that's the story. See, that's how I would have done it and i would have done a little more of that vibe than this... About to do production They never ask us Um..I've two clips about um war on race uh cops you know New York City cops getting killed an all this stuff And I want to play these 2 clip because they are the most uncomfortable things really to watch Let me explain It is Ben Carson and Alan West, both black men. And what's so real when I see these guys on TV of course...I can list myself out of the slave mentality of the general population with no agenda thinking cap on but it feels so uncomfortable because you have black guys who are Republicans how can that be? Republicans are racist!

1:51:35 So, clearly these must be Uncle Toms then or something. And they hate women! It's a miracle they ever get married. You know so these black guys... They have to be Uncle Toms. They must be Uncle Toms and they're sucking up to the police I mean it is the most uncomfortable thing to watch it must be so hard for some people their brain must go into Ben Carson first. Well, there's no question that the blame game always exacerbates the situation and I believe it would be a very wise idea to start talking about the good that police do you know we can find bad things about anybody

1:52:14 And if we just emphasize those bad things all the time, it's called demonization. And you can stir up... It's like Sesame Street! That's called demonization A lot of bitter feelings about that individual or that group We know that tactic. We certainly shouldn't be engaging in that with the police How would any of our lives be if the police weren't there? People would come in your house and they say I think I like that television, I'm taking it Better still you get out! I'm taking this house You know, I mean it would just chaos The police are wonderful people Of course there are bad apples and just about any group But for the most part our lives are made much better by the police And every community

1:52:57 So you see how uncomfortable that must be for people to watch this guy who by the way is a neurosurgeon I mean, oh my god He's smart and talented but he can't be you can't be a Republican and be black in there And you'd love that. You can't you got to hate the police because they hate the black man This is screwing with my head. And by the way, I think Dr Carson you are incorrect in Texas if we had no police and someone came into my house and said oh i think he'll take this television that he would be looking down the barrel of the judge so it doesn't quite work that way here in Texas. That's because they pretty much guns are opened for everything. That's right! And guess what? Everybody's polite

1:53:39 Allen West is now is he a talk show host by By career, what does his vocation? Well Allen West was a congressman who I think is nuts. Oh and he's black Yeah, he's black. He's nuts. He's a Republican! He is an ex-Marine pro military. He is over the top. He's kind of a creep I like the other guy a lot Carson is great but West I think is a jerk Well I think that most important thing we have to come to understand is that leaders establish a climate or atmosphere in a unit or organization across a nation and when you have people such as the president such as the attorney general Eric Holder

1:54:21 and then also Mayor Bill de Blasio. And you look at some of the things that have been said, you go back to the Skip Gates incident when police in Cambridge acted stupidly those were words from the president why do we believe that police need retraining and reorganization or reforming? That is some of the words that come from Eric Holder and And you remember after the grand jury decision in Ferguson, Missouri. It was within two hours that the president took to the stage to give his assessment where is the president now? He should be talking to these protesters and saying that this will not be tolerated in the United States of America. We have a rule of law we have to have respect and regard for our police officers. We have to honor our judicial system and our due process. Now very good point yeah Where was the president condemning all this

1:55:22 Well, he was busy creating the President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing. He was? By executive order this establishment by the authority vested in him as president by the Constitution and laws of United States America The task force shall be composed not more than 11 members which is the wacky number appointed by the president These shall include distinguished individuals with relevant experience in subject matter, expertise in law enforcement civil rights and civil liberties. How much you want to bet Sharpton's on this thing? I would actually guess because Sharpton has a job in the White House already that he won't get out and get on this. Okay we'll check The president shall designate two members of the task force to serve as co-chairs. That means there is a woman Yes Of course And yeah and a black guy

1:56:15 And one of them is gay. We're not sure which one because they both are both they're both named Pat The task force shall be solely advisory And so shall submit a report to the president by March 2nd, 2015. Will it then go away? Yeah this is bullshit! This is some... Hey man I need some-I don't have a job Can I get on a task force and they pay me? I want on a task force Well you know we can only pay like 80 grand because We'll get more volunteers for the motorcade I wanna be on the task force Wow It's a lost cause Why are we complaining about all this stuff

1:56:58 This is just a lost cause. Let's see, here's better stuff. Well if you put it that way... Here's, okay. Here's better stuff all right? There is the Colorado pot update! Ah about time we had that. Thursday marks one year since Colorado became the first state to allow recreational marijuana but this morning Colorado faces a lawsuit from both Oklahoma and Nebraska They want the Supreme Court to rule the law unconstitutional because of the impact on neighboring states Barry Peterson looks at Colorado's rocky year in pot If skeptics wondered about the popularity of pot, on January 1 Colorado residents answered with their wallets. Lines on the first day stretched around the block

1:57:44 So we're sort of like explorers here. It's like Lewis and Clark, they didn't have any... But Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper's legalization was still skeptical Hey man! I'm seeking out new worlds and new civilizations We sat down with him in February Are you comfortable with the way it has happened since? And the way it is unfolding now Sure I think myself and almost every elected official in the state of Colorado, we didn't want to be the social laboratory. But our voters passed it by a large margin 55-45 and we accept that this is going to be one of the great social experiments for the next 50 years. Colorado now has more than 800 outlets Denver alone has more pot shops than Starbucks

1:58:27 John Hudak studies- They've already done that one, haven't they? As I mention this all the time. That's not entirely a fair comparison. No it's bullshit. Government policy at the Brookings Institution these days that means watching marijuana trends Well there is clearly a profit motive among producers they're no in business just to you know deliver some public good in the form of marijuana At the same time states have found that there is a selling point around taxation on marijuana thats an important part of passing these initiatives. Indeed, selling pot is putting a lot of taxes into the revenue pot at both state and local levels. The state took in more than 43 million in the first nine months. Local cities collected millions more but high times have come with some low points like how to regulate edibles products like candy that are infused with marijuana it allegedly led to the suicide of a visiting college student who overdosed and jumped to his death

1:59:27 All right stop this report it's bull crap as a professional former all-day all the time user of the magical herb known as marijuana You are at the best spokesperson for the daily use Model hey if you're in an unhappy marriage, all you need to do is self medicate and you too can get your helicopter license Well, go on. You were going to say something. I was going to say in all my years never have I ever come across someone who got so high that they wanted to fly on marijuana and jump off their balcony... Yeah no, I've never heard of this. That jumping-off the building story is bogus and that's the best they can do. But then at the time this into edibles which i was not a fan of. I have tried the brownies

2:00:22 It was not my thing because I was also addicted to the worst drug in the world, which is tobacco. And so I was combining the tobacco with the marijuana and marijuana. I quit just like they call Turkey tobacco another story that took a long time and yeah it took you over a year and now what two and half years smoke free? Two and half years sober It's sober Hey, do I get a coin challenge? I get you a challenge going yeah. I get a chip or chip or somebody sent him a challenge Well, I'm very proud of that. That was not easy to do. No? Oh, no! I remember you doing it and it was like a... You know you were... It was bad when you were smoking because you were smoking all the time. You're smoking into your microphone Yes And uh... What I was worried about... You had some low notes What I was worried about is that my voice would change drastically if I stopped smoking but really I couldn't imagine doing this show

2:01:19 Yeah, you're more talkative. Really? Yeah. You're actually better in terms of being a, uh, I'm not sure if it's the same thing as smoking or not smoking. But yeah, that was my experience with the tobacco industry and how much energy they put into their products is just amazing to me because I think there are so many people who have been doing this for decades now who are still You're a little bit, a little bit joyous. I mean it's a little annoying to me but you're a little more like hey kids everybody into the pool! You could get a job on a cruise line as the activities director. Would you prefer that i uh well do you want me to try going back to this? No no no no i can deal with it. Is it not good? Do you feel is bad for performance sometimes you talk over clips too much but in

2:02:14 You know, it's because you just have to keep going. You're like on... Energizer Bunny? Something. You're like taking amphetamines. What is that pill everyone takes? Adderall bullshit amphetamines Is it like that? No, I'm not. Because you're not... The other thing would be if wasn't good you were morose occasionally and they are not very good at that being more rose I didn't like it yet what is my role so what does the down look it up oh thanks you were a little a little up and down, those drugs weren't helping you at all. Sullen, sulky, gloomy, bad tempered... You'd bring it down and all of the sudden you would show up. Competition is what you were thinking that's why he didn't want me to do that. Yeah, that's it. Well while we're on the topic then

2:03:04 I'm sorry. Yeah, what do you think about me? Let's play this little thing I got especially for you a Little ditty that was done on local news on to some guy at Stanford who has Tourette's now does he have the cool kind No, unfortunately it doesn't. The cool kind where you're cursing and yelling bomb threats at the TSA? Not that kind of thing? That's great! That's the kind I wish I had... no instead- I gotta tell my travel story when we're done with this. I just have ticks and twitches and digits and deserts. That is what this guy has got. We used to call them jidgits Have you ever heard that word? I think i've misused it myself as a jijit Hold on second before I start... Jijit

2:03:44 That's what my parents used to call it. They just called jidgets? I think this is a new made-up word well, it might be Jigit how would you spell jiget g-i-g-e-t that's the way I'd spell it Jigit let's see Jigit fact uh fictional character Hmm, maybe thats Gidget yeah and well thats Gidjet right oh uh Gidjet J-I-G-E-T Hmm. Oh, well look into the etymology of that later first is a story this made for me Austin Tubbs is a walk-on third string long snapper for the Stanford football team So why is he noteworthy? Austin has Tourette's syndrome a neurological disorder characterized by uncontrollable body twitches rare for a varsity athlete yet It has helped define an unlikely Team hero

2:04:39 If you blink, you might miss it. Austin Tubbs blinks often yet misses nothing I blink kind of sporadically which is one thing that i have now which is actually kinda nice like fuck You can't do this to me Now im blinking Im blinking? Now im blinking oh crap Thats another good reason to do an audio podcast Oh im blinking Except people think im- I have to clench my eyes really tight It's a way eyeballs hurt. Okay, got it flirting all the time. It's not something that he hides It is something that is like there yet to bag it up He says he did she's big not something anybody hides Is that what you said? I'll be part of that yet misses nothing. I blink kind of sporadically Which is one thing I have now which is actually kind of nice except I mean people think I'm flirting all the time No confusion ever

2:05:34 Have I had no confusions anyone ever said hey, are you flirting with me or you just the Tourette's? Jerkin jidget tick guy but it's also something that's never been a problem When Austin was younger, it was a problem. The symptoms were more severe and the audience less forgiving. It used to be much tougher for him you know? A younger kid in school kids are in school. It's something that he did have to deal with and that was kind of something that he had to push through and learn how to handle For certain points I would shrug my shoulders

2:06:12 I had to blow on my hands one time that made the least sense to me. Oddly enough, I was at my most still when I was playing football. When I get down to play, I am just like a statue." Perfect form. And we have superpowers as we all now know on this show when you have Tourette's, you get super powers Well the reason I brought this clip because it is kind of cute but was the he said at one time He had to blow on his hands all the time and that made no sense to him It is more like OCD Well, blowing on his hands all the time. Do you ever have any oddball characteristics that came and went and you don't do anymore? All of them come and go yeah! You want me to give you a list? You wanna really know what's happening? Yeah I'd be interested...I think the public would be So the blinking thing which is deadly on television but somehow managed to get away from that however

2:07:10 And unfortunately, both camera people are now dead at MTV who work there as we thank you Facebook. I think Facebook just kills all my friends before so they'd be counting down right and the way MTV worked it was but even live shows it's the same thing wouldn't matter you know you're getting ready to go and again the floor director standing there or that would be a floor director things what is called here in this day suit Five four three and while we're at three I'm blinking. Um he I'm really going like this with my head Just to get it all out, and then two one on hey everybody welcome back to MTV that was white snake So did you like Tawny Katay in there laying out on the hood of that Jaguar coming up next Sunday? Headbangers ball will bring you some more guns and roses keep it right here on the big amp And then I'll go back to taking intuition so I could stop it That's what this guy did with his football yep

2:08:00 You can't be twitching around if you're a lineman in our football team because he's no no it could be violation. You could be violates the penalty penalty for motion yeah, and But often if I'm before I go into a building or a room Or if I'll be outside on the street that did this just yesterday I'll be like and I just was like, uh-uh. Just really really it's really hit him Just twitch my head a couple times really good. So you get all the fans to run it out? I'm an advanced ticker Yeah to run it out To run it out yet, but please call by his proper name. It's a digit

2:08:38 Well, you said you were going to tell us some of the ones that you've had come and gone with. You did a great job bypassing the question. Oh no I'm sorry but i told you about really clenching eyes really really tight then there's this sound What is that? How does it tick? It's a guttural sound Huh. Or I could do it or hold on, I'm gonna come to you. Yeah yeah we're all interested in this take your right hand palm up bend your elbow and then so make sure that your pinky is touching kind of the middle of here To me it's a little to the right of the middle of my chest Right? And then you combine it by hitting your hand So the four fingers collapse and

2:09:33 You have no idea what you just described. So my palm is up, arm is... Yeah but where's the hand? Is it out a mile or...? No no put it almost against your chest Okay so right and then if you like kind of karate chop on your chest the pinky will hit your ring finger... Oh okay and you want me to make noise yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Combine it with the guttural sound You're a horrible Tourette's man and this is no good do you why then there's the the mashing of the ball of your foot

2:10:10 Oh, I never heard of this one. Yeah so you just stand in there and then you just on one... You stretch one leg out and the ball of your foot you just turn it around and then has to switch a little bit in the shoe until just like you've done enough and that feels good. I have no idea what that is. And snapping my toes What does that mean? In my shoe even I can cross my toe next to my big toe And like a finger snap and I can snap my... No! Yeah, yeah. I'm doing it right now actually Wow Hold on I gotta take... Oh, here That's astonishing actually Yeah And that my friends is just the beginning You know what great? Having sex with me as a ball baby let me tell you that Yeah especially the toasting I'm gonna show myself old by donating to no agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah that'd be fab

2:11:07 Well, that's fascinating I'm glad you asked. I want you to know if i have no um Shame in admitting all this No, no your your you got yours act together on it Why wouldn't you why would you have shame the guy did a whole team thing on television about? This is what I tell people rats people don't seem to have ah wait and ha ha am I wrong You are incorrect the biggest problem particularly with kids Oh yeah, no with kids. I'm saying as adults when they get their act together But it takes many people years and years to get their act together This is why who's the guy that does the Fox animated family show The Family Guy Seth McFarland has Tourette

2:11:56 Yeah, and he has twitches with his head. He has blinking and I can you know? I met him but as I'm like teach fucking got Tourette's I see it You can't keep it from me the Tourette's person Oh you spot to read some people that I sometimes miss they will take this to a level like haha Like really this is like a bomber actually They'll go out and they'll make big large movements with emotions to try and mask the urge I got a tick. Oh, thank God I did it now the problem with kids is... Do you think Balmer has Tourette's? Some version of it yeah oh for sure yeah for sure Now that you mention it since I know Steve Yeah Uh..I can see it Totally and people get ticks and stuff throughout their lifetime just with Tourette's It just kind of stays it moves around And sometimes if your lucky You've got like just Like I have one Sometimes where I just flex my right pec

2:12:51 Which, you know doesn't really show. A bathing suit or what? Hey Show-Off! What are you doing? That's where we move to the... Are you flirting with me?! That's when we start snapping the toes to keep everything... Are you flirting with me snapping your toes!? But with kids, this is what I tell parents who and I get a lot of people ask me that be open make fun about it when your kid has a new tick say hey that's a cool one man. That's I hadn't seen that one yet let's call Adam show him that. Call Adam? Yeah oh yeah and it helps them so tremendously because the pressures off and when the pressures off then guess what you haven't ticked for a whole 10 seconds wow! That was good maybe we can go another ten

2:13:34 Did your tics increase or decrease when you were a daily user of pot? Made no difference, strangely. I thought it would make a difference... It does for certain kinds of spasmodic episodes and seizures If anything well you just calm in general but what your mind gets kind of you know it gets taken away like oh man I gotta take real bad and then you just do really that's slower Anyway, all right enough of that so when you are when you're supporting the program.

Yeah, that was yes don't you remember that vaguely it was a Well it was some bit we played And at a certain point, I think you were the one that said why it was... It was ice cream with something else but somehow it came out as ass cream and bear fillings. And it just uh... I don't know, it just stuck. Huh! I don't even really remember what clip it was. Uh... I can't find it now. Ass Cream? Yeah, I remember very specifically and it wound up on the list of

2:33:35 Here's the ass cream and bear fillings night reward. There we go, let me see... All right well something to be looked in for a- Yeah we'll do some research For our future show! Alright I have one for you here this will just make you laugh um did you see McLaughlin group by any chance? Now, in Port Angeles where I tried to get some clips. I gotta get them off the TV. I mean, sorry off the computer because the TV consists of Roku Xbox Live. I got one of those fire Amazon Fire sticks Oh yeah? Yeah that's just a Roku box and stick It's impressive Does it have the Slingbox capability? Yes it does. Has the Slingbox app in it? Yep!

2:34:27 Okay, never mind. I've got to talk about what's disappointing is You know it looks all cool And you stick it in like oh this is dynamite But then you have this pokey wire that has to go through a power supply Yeah, they couldn't get the power out of the HDMI its HDMI Its HDMI but they still hasn't external power wall wart and But that sucks. Yeah, it's very disappointing and the design of where this wire sticks out is wrong because on mine if I plug it into the side HDMI port then the wire Is in the middle of the stick and it's popping up and then goes down. It's dumb. It's a very strange design decision They got some issues with their hardware. Same thing with that phone they made

2:35:14 Well, that was...that was a collector's item. Instant collector's item! Anyway this is Eleanor Clift and Eleanor as you know is probably next to Rachel Manno she is the quintessential Obama bot just a different generation and as you know she loves saying that our president is a constitutional war! How'd I do? Well, you love doing that. He's a constitutional lawyer on the cliff! Yeah And so here she is with her... and she's in conversation... Pat Robertson who was on the show? Pat Robertson? Pat Buchanan That's the one, Pat Buchanan It's great to watch this particular segment because he is looking at her and his mouth is open

2:36:03 He is so flabbergasted by the the the yeah, this is that it's coming out of her piehole This is about Cuba Oh and in it represent of course all my Obama bought friends who I stalk on Facebook are all what? What does everybody saying about Cuba there all the obots you I'm sure you've out time we can't wait. Let's right thing Yeah We can't wait we can't wait to go to Cuba Let's book our tickets to Cuba, everybody! No drama. Obama has opened it up!" So here she is with her misconceptions of what Cuba is. This is the soft landing for the end of the Castro regime. Nobody is quite sure what comes next but this certainly does open up the opportunity for more small d democratic principles to come into play

2:36:55 China, Nixon went to China and Mao continued with the madness of the Cultural Revolution. And then the Chinese what they did is they tried to open up, brought in investment, bring in capital, manufacturing everything and try to maintain a police state dictatorship maintain their dictatorship very, very well. This is what the Castro brothers are going to try to do it's a very tough thing to do and therefore much smaller and much closer. And the rest of us are all gonna be rushing to get to Cuba before it turns into Miami Beach while its still that unspoiled seemingly place with the classic cars. You think Cuba under Castro

2:37:31 Well, with the classic cars from the 1950s and 60's. People want to see Cuba as it is before it becomes more developed This woman is delusional. It's funny though, I can't wait to see the cars from the 1950s! You know when i was a bobby soxer? I think what you got out of that clip was a strange kind and the democrats do this more than republicans although they do it too... A strange sentimentalism It's extremely strange. You know, because all those cars, those old cars and those old buildings are on you know they're right? You can still see this kind of if you want his real sentimental find some of these Old Eastern European block countries that never got any money or tourists get yourself a lot of them Get yourself a lotta enjoy yeah, a lotta and drive it around I haven't but I had a lot of the a four-door what? Heyo

2:38:32 Yeah, I had a lot of the four-door. It was actually my first car before and it didn't last long because the brakes just went out just completely Is that the one with plastic sides that would pop out? No no it was made of some cheap rusted metal crap Okay yeah it wasn't not good and I had a Java motorcycle Which is kind of cool A Jabba? Java Java, I think that's Yugoslavian. J-A-W-A. That's a winner was it a two stroke? No no no it was four on four stroke but what was cool is the kickstarter was your gear shift so you'd push your...the gear shifters on the left. Oh my god! You pushed the thing in and then rotate it backwards and then it was the Kickstarter which is very strange

2:39:21 It was almost impossible because that was left foot. So then you had to, you know put it on the kickstand get to the left side of the bike and then... It was a left-footed Kickstarter? Yes! But yeah, you couldn't do it so yeah because the compressor was one cylinder but 600 ccs or something. It was crazy this is East block crap Yeah, he's bought blood. Yeah, it was black rap is the word if you want to go back to the matter Marie I get my my clips out of the way from Cuba Oh, oh, I have a redux that we can skip is not important why one but then we have now It's too long and then we have the reminiscences

2:40:02 What's the name of that? Barbara Wawa. She is on giving her talks about when she did early interviews, she was the first person to interview him when he uh... did Castro with the place so let's just listen there just an intro clip is Cuba Castro gun and lap clip and then you realize that this woman doesn't think on her feet. Hey listen we went to several locations Well, what we did mostly was travel through the mountains. Through the Sierra Mestra Mountains with him as he drove his own Jeep I sat next to him with his gun in my lap and hard candies because you would stop all the way to children and he would give them hard candies He did not like that personification There are no pictures

2:40:46 of Castro as you go along the way. You know, it's not... They're not the way it is for example when I went to Beijing and saw pictures of Mao this...I'm going back a few years. Sure sure Saddam Hussein. Saddam Hussein. You do not see this he does not He did not want him to be one man He had his gun in my lap. Notice she had a gun in her lap, that's why I was there. Now the second clip which I want to play is this very short clip and this was part of this interview with Barbara And I think it begs the question, this guy should be called out. Castro's... I remember by the way that he said that if they lifted the embargo, if we lifted the embargo, he would shave off his beard. Oh! I wonder if he has? Hey! We know he hasn't but he should Is this the old Castro or the Castro brother

2:41:43 Well, the old Castro's still alive. Right but was he supposed to shave off his beard? Yeah! The Castro brothers got nothing to do with anything until recently yeah He's gotta shave off his beard Hey We've gotta call him on this Okay Alright go on with what you were I only have one last clip then Is it something that you want to say for the end of the show? Yeah Okay alright I would like to return for a moment because as I teased in the beginning of the program I learned so much from the Matt and Marie sitcom this week. I really am up to date on all kinds of world affairs, so let's go back one more time! Now to pick up where you left us John... with Cuba

2:42:41 Did you know this? Right, but two days after the US and the Cubans announced that they're going to move towards restoration. Deputy Prime Minister Rogozin who has been no shrinking violet when it comes to the use of Russian military showed I mean was in Havana for meetings and i'm just wondering did that get onto your radar screen at all? Nope! And I wouldn't read anything into it okay... I wouldn't read anything into the deputy prime minister visiting two days after we announced

2:43:36 Thank you. You know, Saki always goes to her...she's got a well-organized... she's probably, you know, a neat freak. Well organized and she doesn't just shoot off the hip. She would have a tab and she'd flip to it and read the statement and that would be that. This is a mistake! She is so much better than Marie Harf as a spokesperson. Yes but Marie has Matt in her pocket, so to speak. Notice no, I think he's in her pocket. Well yeah come in I'm so it's so clear to me these two are boning as obvious not all questions asked by Matt But this was very interesting with a great question and this really gets Marie all mad This is about the

2:44:24 The Iraqi Air Force. So did you say Iraqi Air Force also helped? Correct, the Peshmerga forces on the ground around Sinjar were supported by coalition and Iraqi Army air support But does Iraq have any defense system? Well clearly there was some helping here so the answer would be yes Uh...the answer is really no! So she gets called on this Iraq doesn't really have an air force. They have two planes capable of shooting hellfires, they were out of hellfires and then these two aircraft couldn't even shoot the hellfires anymore So what exactly is this bullcrap that you're giving us Harff? And yes well it says here on my paper that they help so clearly they do have an Air Force Uh no

2:45:12 Are you right? She does deduction. Yes, if A then B yes. And she does it constantly when it's not in the notes It is not appropriate! It is wrong. Totally wrong and she can't do that in that position We could do it Well yeah this is all we do But then we correct ourselves later nobody cares but we don't...we're not officials of the government Correct Two more in this particular... And that's not the approach of, well clearly... Clearly. Since it is here. Those words just to insult the other person because obviously clearly it's clearly... Clearly. I did two and to yourself why do I have to do? Why do I even have to talk to you little curmudgeon? The Chiners on the heels of what we discussed earlier

2:46:02 are doing what you do when America is trying to show you things such as, well, you called it right out John. You said hey China! Hey you Chiners look at this umbrella revolution we've got going on in Hong Kong huh? Huh huh huh? Do you want someone out of the mainland? So what would you do if you were the Chinese John I don't know. I never got a clue if i was the Chinese and say whatever you want! And then there's also state media reporting that There is a law under consideration to place new regulations on foreign non-government organizations operating in China So this of course, they know what's going on This is what Russia did and they said hey You gotta register as foreign agents If you wanna be an NGO Non-Governmental Organization These are the people funded by numerous

2:46:58 go between organizations, most notably the National Endowment for Democracy. But there's a lot of them all flows... They're all traced back to the State Department USAID United States aid What does AID stand for? USA, United States of America. Aid for international development? Yeah. Money. Any reaction to that? So we're aware of those reports I think that they're considering a new law to regulate these foreign NGOs working in China obviously we consistently emphasize respect the rule of law independent judiciary free flow and information and robust civil society

2:47:36 are really critical to any country, but certainly in China that's a message we give them constantly. Do you have any specific guidance or analysis about whether this law would actually place undue restrictions on American NGOs operating in China? I haven't seen specifics on what would be in such a law but obviously we believe that things like NGOs should be able to operate freely. But I haven't seen the specifics of this proposal. Yes, it should be operating freely for a color revolution! Yeah makes so much sense and then finally now just want to reiterate this one State Department briefing was only 23 minutes we learned about Sony

2:48:13 uh, being or the Sony to be able to be compensated by North Korea for the damage of actor salaries. We'll call the lawyers for that we learned that North Korea is being discussed in the security council and North Korea is not attending because they say it's bullcrap. We learned that Iraq has an air force shut up slave. They have an air force We learned that the Cubans were visited by the Russian deputy prime minister two days after our big announcement, which you should just don't read too much into that. Don't read too much into that because nothing to see here and we learned that we have nothing...we can't tell you about the internet outage it's North Korea's Internet and then finally if that wasn't enough

2:48:57 We have this. the Pennsylvania-based imam. Now this of course is our favorite guy who you probably first heard about here on this show Absolutely Fethullah Gulen no one had been talking about Fethullah Gulen and I don't think Marie Harvey even knows who the guys talking about right now, but He's been... You'd think she would She's looking at Matt's bulge Yeah, yeah, sesame seeds Rogan Straight out not up straight out

2:49:37 So Turkey has issued an extradition request for Fethullah Gulen, who we know has been under CIA protection in his compound in Pennsylvania. All of his people are being fired thrown in jail because he was supposed to be the caliph He was, when the caliphate comes. The whole idea was this guy was supposed to be the Macbeth. Our guy! Of course he's our guy and this has failed spectacularly and now Turkey is asking for him to be extradited and we learned something Well, as a matter of long-standing policy the State Department does not comment one way or the other on pending extradition requests or confirm or deny that request might even exist. But you do have an extradition treaty with Turkey signed in 1776... Oh! Did you know that?

2:50:25 No, we have a good one extradition treaty seventies fine. We don't comment on specific fine Fine that may be fine But we just don't come fine fine the this is gonna be interesting to watch how they're gonna deal with this well wait so Here comes Matt Because Matt's not just taking this fine business. He hears enough of that in the bedroom with her. Well, if it was the case with Noriega then it must be the rule. If it was the case with Noriega then there must be the rule I guess, huh? It is some sort of code. Yeah Let me check. Let me check! I would assume so Matt but there's...I don't want to make a sweeping generalization. Alright everybody, there you go Klaus and Lana another round at the show They are K-I-S-S-I-N-G they are in the out and up the old dirty alleyway it is Matt & Marie S-S-I-N-G

2:51:29 Uh, did you know there's a new medical test? I didn't know about it. They could use it around here Okay But I guess that was developed in Egypt Let me just- don't even say it, I'll just play it. I got the clip ready Hit it Two men exchanging rings on board of boats on the river Nile In a mock wedding ceremony Even though homosexuality is not against the law in Egypt The two men in the video were arrested Although they were later released after so called medical tests failed to prove they were gay Gay Egyptians say they are routinely harassed by the police. Our observers say the authorities have been known to go on gay websites like Grindr, to set up sting operations. Somophilia? As a sting operation on Grindr which I think is an in-app purchase

2:52:20 Well, that's a good one John. I like that. Not clip of the day but... Good enough. I do have this other one which is an interesting... This is funny because it seems no one has ever brought this up during the era where people were and there were jokes written about cartoons about in New York or people sitting on their bed on their laptop doing stuff, you know, they're made sleeps or whatever. But now all of a sudden the study is shown and I don't know what the basis for this is that I suspect Amazon even though the Kindle was never mentioned but this is the iPad health problem clip That new e-reader or tablet you got for the holidays may have been a great gift, but if you're not careful it could really ruin your night. A new study shows using light emitting electronic devices in the hours before bedtime may make you feel more tired than next day. Researchers had 12 people read books on an iPad before bed for five nights then the group switched to paper books

2:53:19 The test subjects reported feeling more sleepy the next morning after being exposed to screens, even if they got a full eight hours. Huh? Yeah and now I didn't get it. I just got this clip last night so i didn't get um... I couldn't find out who was behind this quote-unquote study but I suspect the Publishers Association or somebody. Of course of course! But yeah that wasn't interesting. I like it and I think it's true No doubt Alrighty Somehow we managed to talk quite a bit once again. Well John, thank you for 2014

2:54:03 Right, our next show will be in two... the next show will be next year. That's right! No more show until next year Until next year which will be in Thursday and so reminding people at Dvorak.org slash N-A we can pick up the slack here or maybe start to New Year right with 14 people that'll be listening on New Years morning Why are we doing a live show on New Years?
