About this episode

Adam Curry provides a personal update regarding his move to downtown Austin following the departure of Miss Mickey from the country under Dutch media pressure. The 2015 Miss Universe pageant, owned by Donald Trump, serves as a backdrop for a critique of geopolitical questioning after judge Manny Pacquiao asked Miss USA how she would negotiate with global terrorists. Paulina Vega of Colombia secured the crown, yet the event highlights a bizarre intersection of beauty standards and international relations.

Senator Richard Burr has demanded the Obama administration return all copies of the CIA torture report, including the secret Panetta Review which allegedly proves the agency inflated the value of enhanced interrogation. Meanwhile, forensic analysis of ISIS videos featuring Kenji Goto reveals professional Western production markers, including Apple Final Cut Pro file suffixes. In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hosts President Obama for a military modernization summit, while domestic concerns rise over a California mileage tax proposal and the failure of meteorological models during the Northeast blizzard.

Bill Nye the Science Guy pivots from NFL Deflategate to climate change propaganda, while Al Sharpton uses the New York snow failure to promote environmental activism. The show honors its supporters through the knighting of Sir Kevin Dills, Knight of the Queen City, as the hosts navigate the complexities of the value-for-value model and the technical hurdles of Sarah Palin’s teleprompter failure in Iowa.

00:00 What is wrong with this idiot? Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak It's Thursday January 29th 2015 time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 6-9-1 This is no agenda Still digging my way out of the snow in FEMA Region Six Capital of the Drone Star State Austin Tejas In The Morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where it's coming down like crazy Air...I'm John C. Dvorak I'm telling you, you slurred again. I must start the day that way. Drunk? No drink! Dope... I'm sorry uh You don't drink. I do not drink. Hey John i gotta start off so i got to share something with the producers of this show at the top here kind of important okay yeah exactly

00:57 Because I've been self-censoring for personal reasons and... ...I'm now ready to stop, and I have to. This could be—you know, self-censoring is very dangerous to the show." I don't, I did not. I know what you're gonna do and i don't know where that you've been so hold on a second What are you doing? I just saw the check that was just laying here shouldn't have been there Stop the show! John found a check Don't move I don't see, I don't know that you've been self-censoring. Of course I have! No of course i have been self censoring yeah the small personal things but my experience is that can get kind of fuzzy after a while well that's a possibility

01:47 Ladies and gentlemen get ready for this But also also because things have changed in my personal In my life a lot of these experiences are new but some things that have happened are absolutely relevant to the show Okay, you know I was or is yours and my friend. It's not gonna make a big deal out of it John I was in the middle of a media frenzy, which i really didn't want to talk about because I had my ex-wife and my current wife yelling at the media about what was going on with my personal life. And the person they disregarded was my daughter who was kind of like in the middle of everything an innocent... You're talking about Dutch media? Yes, dutch media exactly

02:38 And so I just needed to shut up and not talk about anything. And a lot of stuff that happened to me in this personal realm was a surprise, to me is very hurtful and very crappy. What actually happened is really nobody's business except mine, Mickey's and any other people who were involved in this. So I need to get the facts out so we can move on and don't have to self-censor or have filters for the show. Does that make sense? Yeah! Okay, are you walking away looking for more checks? Where's my wingman on this? I'm here Good So Miss Mickey and I no longer live together Pretty sure that's not going to change And she's not going to stay in Austin She's not even in the country at the moment Sorry

03:33 I was going to ask some questions as though i was the audience. Yes, okay why don't you do that? Does she not like Austin? No she hates Austin Oh okay go on and but she's also probably doesn't like me. That's new, though? Well yeah to the extent that it was you know there was a lot of things going on and I'm kind of laughing off some reports but when you start okay when you start to find out hey wait a minute something's wrong here and then so... You were actually Unaware when the first media reports came out, and you were not I'm on to them. I mocked them like what is this crap? Yeah? I'm again You know what it said. I want to defend the media but looks like they were on top of something yes yeah Directly from horses mouths etc okay, so everybody that feels bad now well They should

04:35 But I thought really bad. Here's the good news there some good news coming out of this one when all this crap came down my daughter hopped on the plane said dad, I'm coming to you and she gave me some shit and Straightened me out in a couple ways And we have we are can reconnecting on new levels with each other We got work to do but that's I'm very impressed with her She figured all her crap out or while a group of adults were you know engulfed in their own ego drama? acting like a bunch of A-holes, including me at times. And so that's good news moving forward also I've been able to downsize which is important certainly if you see the donation levels for our Thursday shows. Good timing! For me? Yeah very good timing and i'm now in downtown Austin and so...I think that's all anybody really needs to know at this point. Did I leave anything out did I miss anything? Well I have something to say

Serial Podcast Comparison, No Agenda Longevity

The resurgence of podcasting is analyzed through the lens of the popular NPR series Serial. A comparison is drawn between the episodic nature of Serial and the long-running narrative threads of the No Agenda Show, which has operated for seven years. The discussion highlights how recurring characters and information threads create a loyal audience similar to traditional serial dramas.

05:32 Okay, I think that since you've been going to I knew about this and like I don't know about a month ago. I think is when it began whatever the case is you have been doing a yeoman's job of Carrying the show along with no apparent Not missing a beat in fact We've gotten a lot of compliments for the last two or three shows as some of the best material we've done And I think that will continue because I just think we're on such a roll well. I hope so I was going to say there's one other thing that is coming out of this. I personally, I'll put my hand in my own bosom for a moment...I am developmentally delayed so being alone for...that's an actual medical term I found! Developmentally delayed. It's pretty hard to use that term when you're 50. This is the sad thing John. I'm fifty and I am developmentally delayed

06:25 So yeah, this is a growth and growing moment for me. Even though there's sadness and crap and stuff going on but at least now that it's out I really needed to do that so now we can talk about important things like Tinder. Long way to go for a joke and he didn't get it. That's too bad. Yes, no, it was a shaggy dog story I didn't get do you know what tinder is? No Oh tinder Yeah, you know what this stuff you said you start the stuff that burns easy It's the dating app. Oh, I don't know anything about Okay Maybe if you said what was the other one grinder If I'd said grinder then we'd be in trouble

07:11 Although I have considered. Maybe, when you have your ex-wife going to the media saying, I was eavesdropping on my daughter talking to her dad... What? Yeah and it looks like he's moved out and then i had my current wife saying no nothing's wrong nothing to see here carry on And then the media does news pieces about me It went something like this Finding more of those crappy photos Oh yeah, total crappy photos. And this was a video piece because I wouldn't talk to anybody. Adam Curry no woman no money and all he has now is a podcast in a shed somewhere in the middle of Texas. I kid you not! A shed? That sounds pathetic if you think about it. Poor bastard's a podcaster

07:56 Oh no, it's one thing to have two divorces but to be a podcaster. Holy crap! That guy really fell off the showbiz ladder didn't he? Not knowing that this is the future Yeah exactly Anyway So... There's a bunch of, by the way I was out there. I was looking at listening to a lot of podcasts because we're always on look out for stuff from this stream but i just like to listen to podcast once in awhile and there is a lotta good podcast out there and it seems that there seems to be this growing movement that podcasting is next big thing Isn't that interesting though? You notice this? Yes! And I noticed something else goes along with this The resurgence of the podcast

08:41 is mainly because of NPR, public radio offshoots which have a dual model. I mean they have ways of making money through sales to some of their properties at the public radio but also They, you know they're doing one big sponsor. I'm specifically talking about the Serial podcast and i was thinking about what is it that makes this podcast serial so exciting to people? And then it hit me we actually have been doing the original Serial podcast for almost seven years!

09:20 Now, and bear with me for a second. So the serial podcast is an episodic from episode to episode it carries over and you're following the storyline until it ends like a story right? Here's the beauty of The No Agenda Show we always say why do people they don't want to just skip shows they didn't want to listen everything that religious about listening to everything Don't wanna miss it even be behind That is because every... we have characters, we have threads of information that go all the way through. People come people go people die off people are killed off all the time in our show. We do have characters. Noodleman and Cloppityclop and all these characters. Melonhead! All this stuff. Yes it's true. President Obama and the other president Obama I mean what show has two Obamas on it? Come one. None

10:14 And this is why people do this, because they don't want to miss something and not understand. Wait a minute what are they talking about? What does this term mean or what is this piece of information that I missed? The great news is our podcast will only end in our own deaths! Right?! Serial podcasts has to end when the story's over it just it's over as done and then they have to pick up a new story Well, he could be kicked off the air by the government which would actually be an ending. That would probably be an ending. And that actually would be a good ending because it would close the circle... It would actually... Because we've been predicting this ending and it could happen! This would not be good term because of that would be very bad then then the Dutch media would have something to write Shut down by the government Yeah He's in the soup kitchen Soup That would be next I'll be very next

miss universe· donald trump· miss usa· manny pacquiao· global terrorism

11:10 Although we should work the soup kitchen anyway. Well, I have...I've worked the soup kitchen in Austin. Okay so we are a serial of sorts, I agree. Yeah. No, this is what it is. And also, but I think also this show's too long and we'll talk about that later. So let's start off with something light. Ah! Ladies and gentlemen you never have to worry and when I saw the clips come in I thought to myself self? You didn't have to worry I did watch Miss Universe. Hey, exactly now and this is a good one of the Trump properties notice by the way how we go from my relationship is in shambles to hot girls with sashes since it's the Trump property you know that women are going to be gorgeous from top to bottom and miss Estonia and Lithuania and Latvia who didn't get into the finals

12:07 It was a shame. Perhaps we should explain why we follow these beauty patterns? Yes, you should explain it! Well...it is something that is so strange to the culture of women today yet still accepted To me personally, it's mind-boggling that we will judge women on just how hot they are publicly will do this with really with a lame ass competition And, of course, our favorite piece is the question session. Which of course is the only thing I really concentrate on. It really matters because...

12:46 The questions are rigged and often political in nature. And the answers are... Well, I'm usually hilarious. Now before I get to the clips that I have they're pretty short and it's a questions-and-answers of the five finalists. Curiously, the five finalist or Miss USA they always throw her in she is very pretty girl not the brightest bulb in the socket but... What state was she from? You know I don't remember. Don't ask details again, not gonna get anywhere. Miss Ukraine of course because you want to snub Russia. Yeah you gotta F Russia! And by the way there's a lot of beautiful women in Ukraine and this woman was evil looking i didn't like her. Miss Netherlands? Oh who is miss Netherlands? I have no idea. Whatever the case was she doesn't even look Dutch she looks like uh Hispanic actually. Very dark hair.

13:42 Miss Jamaica, who...Miss Jamaica looked Chinese. I have no idea what was going on there and then Miss Columbia now miss Colombia when they first picked the five women they I think this is a disappointing part of the show. They only put them in the bathing suits and they came running out and running back. Oh, I think the entire group of all these women from around the world should be in bathing suits all the time... All the time? Well that would be great! Driving my Ferrari. Because they have said this particular group had didn't have that strange over-pumped stomach that produces a vertical muscle that sticks out. This was a very more slender, very shapely group but Miss Columbia it was mind boggling what she looked like in a bathing suit and she's the first one who came out and I thought she was gonna be at a disadvantage and she ended up winning it all oh I think because of the bathing suit I mean she was outrageous looking in a bathing suit

14:41 And so she should have won. She was very pleasant and she was also the only one who didn't try to speak English as her answer to the question. Ah, ah... She kept it in a very rigid almost Castilian Spanish where they uh... I feel kind of stupid that we didn't discuss who would be the winner beforehand Well, we wouldn't have guessed Colombia I would have guessed that Ukraine would be picked. Yeah, yeah for a finance for sure. But Colombia was the long shot and then they anyway so she spoke in Spanish and she seemed very erudite the other people all of them because they even affect Miss USA spoken kind of

15:22 stammering, ludicrous English. It was the worst. But let's start off by listening to these women do the questions and the first two will be a little longer than the rest I tried to cut it down but it began with Miss USA. Okay... Miss USA it is. Here we go first up lets invite over USA! Please come and join us. Selectable from the card hand that to Natalie All right, judge number one Manny Pacquiao. Question please!

16:00 You know what? This makes me mad. Judge number one, John C. Dvorak! Your question please! I mean it would be just as unrecognizable... In fact you are more recognizable than whoever this guy is. Oh no. Who is this guy? Manny Pacquiao the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world. Wow see there you go. There's an extremely famous guy. The fact that you don't know him doesn't You know, it's just I don't know why. Hey! I'm sorry. I was trying to hook you up with a gig. But here is the problem. He is a Filipino that can speak English barely Yeah... I am just trying to hook you up with a gig thats all If you were given 30 seconds to deliver a message To a global terrorist What would you say?

16:47 Wait, wait. What was the question? If you had 30 seconds to say anything to the terrorists... This USA has to reiterate the question and she's like she's almost shuddering and blinking and winking and doing takes Did I hear what he said that if you had thirty seconds to say anything to the terrorists Global terrorists Oh global terrorists What would you say? Okay, given thirty seconds to give a message to the global terrorist Wow, we know our entertainment don't we? Oh yeah. Ah man were good. Okay I would just say that you know as Miss USA I can always spread a message of hope and love and peace And so i will do my very best to spread that message to them and everyone else in the world

17:39 All right, here's how it would go. Hi I'm Miss USA and Miss Universe! I want to spread a message of love and peace to everybody... And her head is gone That's exactly how it would go What kind of answer is this to that question? It was a stupid question by the way they put the camera on him just as he was handing him a sheet over his shoulder But no, but here's the only correct answer that she should have given. We need to kill them! Thank you very much everybody. If she actually... She probably could have won the competition. Yeah absolutely. Alright so then next up comes Miss... This one is a beauty by the way. This is Miss Netherlands.

CHAPTER 06 / 31 Discussion

Feminism and Objectification, Donald Trump Public Image

The cultural acceptance of beauty pageants is debated in the context of modern feminism and the objectification of women. The discussion touches on how public perception of Donald Trump's treatment of women contrasts with the lack of outrage over his pageant ownership. A brief anecdote about a spin class interaction illustrates perceived double standards in gender-based comments.

feminism· objectification· donald trump· beauty pageants· gender politics

26:54 Who are always up on this. I mean, they used to be outraged. When? I don't remember any outrage! Oh, you do in the 70s. Which of a kid? The 70's yeah In the 70's no seriously during that era of uh certain kind of feminism that's actually gone pretty much the old Betty Friedan stuff there was outrage over these and there were people who would hiss you If you brought it up at this or anything and for some reason, and I don't know what's changed But there's a little I think it was just some Some good look there are women out there A lot of them are celebrities in a lot of them aren't a lot of them are Doing other things that were kind of raised in a raised than a beauty pageant And they knew yes, and they enjoyed it. Yeah well with their entire reality shows based on

27:42 the teen, you know baby beauty pageants. And so what they'd throw back at the feminists and they could be feminist themselves but they threw back at the feminists why can't I do this? I like it! I enjoy it! Why can't I do what I want to do and if this is what I want to do how critical... Sure sure sure but this is objectification to a massive degree It's Trump for Christ sakes! It's Trump Everybody is so easy to pee on Trump, but when it comes to this they're silent. I think the point is well taken Maybe even say oh you want to vote for Donald Trump to be maybe a presidential candidate? Look at how he treats women! Just say that maybe

28:24 Yeah, well you do say what he's never serious about running for president. He just likes to... No I know! I think he just practices his speaking But you understand my point?

I said you know...I just want to point one thing out if i had said In this public gathering we need more hot babes You would have vilified me Sexism works both ways you cannot get away with that and then I could just see the blank stares Were they like were they blank stares of utter stupidity? They didn't get what you said Or were they blank stares of, oh I never thought of that. I never thought of that was what the blank stare was. You don't know for sure?

And by the way I want to mention his donation came in by check and the next donation that came in by check was also from Knoxville, Tennessee. You have this random number theory thing that happens so often

34:08 It happens all the time, and it's random or technically around he sent a note in And I've got a new way of organizing the notes. Oh we're testing boy This is this is why the check was on the floor This is that nine-cent check Never deposit just keep it around him when our frame it okay? Let me anyone since 9 cents, and I don't think they know they're just being a book should never be resolved Yeah No Then I maybe let it sit for about two years and then sent it to collections. There you go, it's a bank that picks up old checks. ITM guardians of reality here are some value for value for the best podcast in the universe as we discussed recently Obama and Biden were in East Tennessee

34:49 in early January to make several announcements. At one of their stops, a 3D printed Shelby Cobra was on display." Life size? Apparently! Wow... I heard from someone involved in the visit that he advanced- oh that THE advance White House staff requested that the car be Biden proof They went so far as to recommend that the entire drivetrain be disengaged. So that there was no chance he could climb in and start the car! Nah, that sounds like a goof...

35:32 Well, it also sounds like a good idea. Yeah this 3d printed car he drives it off and blows up yeah ladies and gentlemen the vice president of the United States please send Some of the amazing no agenda karma my way Sir Daniel Miller, and he is up to 13 3333 in his keeping tab very nice You've got karma. Gracias. His letter here is a National Engineering Forum, so I believe that story is probably accurate about Biden. That's great! I love that story. Never heard this anywhere else. But you won't hear stuff like this anywhere else? You will not. Onward Tim...Timonymous in Parts Unknown $300

36:16 and he does the right thing, he sends a check. This one came in the mail and he puts a stick of note right on top of the cheque that says Tim Anonymous that way it's not like we've had situations where we got to check and I put the note aside and then when I start reading the note you have to tell him who this guy is. He says please keep me anonymous now. This Tim Anonymous has gotta clue. That's how you do it. Got it. Sticker Don O'Malley in St Paul Minnesota 214 I would like to call up my wife Jen for Valentine's Day and give her the producership for the valentine show. I'd also like a belated birthday shout out since she just celebrated surviving her 33rd year on January 25th, we got that listed. The douchebag checked

Listener Letters, University of Wisconsin-Madison Politics

A letter from a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison describes the political climate of the campus as a "liberal social justice island" within a conservative state. The listener credits the podcast with helping him navigate multicultural learning communities and media constructions of radicalism. The segment also includes various jingle requests and technical troubleshooting of audio clips.

38:42 Who was it again? Yes, Amanda Rosette in Vernon Connecticut. Did you hear that? Yeah what was that? That's the garbage guys picking up the recycling. And this is 2014 for Valentine's Day. This magical shape-shifting Jew is declaring her love for no agenda! There she is we finally found one the magical shape shifting Jew. She has a little red heart Oh, thank you Amanda. Please dose me with some Ebola Calypso. Whoa! Tech exam karma. Ebola Calypso... This thing is mislabeled somewhere. Ebola? Ebola? Is it this one I think it's a- Everybody now

39:45 You've got karma. Very nice. She also won a tech exam, what's that? Tech exam? That's what it says. Well... It says E-bullet clips slash tech exam I have no idea what that means. Sorry Amanda, I don't know either. It doesn't mean anything. It's probably something she'll remind us William Doty in Madison Wisconsin 201 and he'll be the last of the group and let me just go to the pile is right on top and pull out his note, which is just the worst. And this is a you... I don't know how old Doty is but he is a millennial. I'm sure of it because of his writing. Greetings from the liberal social justice 89% White Island

40:37 amidst the Red Sea of Scott Walker Republicans, that is THE University of Wisconsin-Madison. First semester has been a rousing success and no agenda is responsible for this as you two have—this all one sentence by the way—as you to have provided me with a mountain of hours of socio-political infotainment to carry me through my studies Well, right on. Living in the Mulholland learning community... multicultural, I'm sorry! Living in a multicultural learning community here, I have learned of the many intersections that exist between the points discussed on this show and racism. It is a good idea to look not too far as our America has not

41:29 something, not post-ready. Post racism does not post racist okay in contrast to the white liberal myth that has been this is that has been hard and you'll touch on it extremely you touch on it extremely well and your Talking of the Western media constructed idea of those radical Muslims that can't speak out against terror and kill people when they... Okay, it goes on. Right well what he's identifying is because we have the model we choose which is exactly what you see working here people are using Kickstarter because they want to have a laptop or cell phone and all you need is just a factory

42:10 Now, we're not quite just a factory but we are delivering the product. The listeners, the community, the group wants... We still do the work and it's something that cannot be discussed because your typical advertiser or your network news program they have too many ancillary reasons Not to do this because many filters well there their advertisers may not like it You know or the shareholders may not like it they're advertised as our producers executive producers of the show May think that the advertisers might even worse and they're not going to take a chance. It's called self-censorship There you go, so yeah, I was saying it's a dangerous thing

42:53 Well he went on to praise us for show 687, he says it was phenomenal no agenda is the finest in my opinion. Thank you for your courage give me a Ukraine cocaine and a oh man binge Oh but boom shaka laka mofo He's got a flip over. Whoever wrote to you in the morning of floor ballroom and Nolan Hill needs to donate, oh so he's got something with bathroom or something I don't know.

Northeast Blizzard Forecast Failure, Al Sharpton Climate Comments

The failure of meteorological models to accurately predict the 2015 Northeast blizzard is analyzed. Despite advanced supercomputers and hurricane hunters, the "Blizz-pocalypse" resulted in a significant over-prediction for New York City. Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch is criticized for using a phone appearance with Al Sharpton to praise the Reverend's "fight" against climate change during the storm.

blizzard of 2015· national weather service· al sharpton· bill finch· climate change

48:05 So this was very funny, well not to people in New England perhaps but certainly in New York we had this huge blizzard drama the Blizzardpocalypse whatever was being predicted. The Blizz-pocalypse. The Blizz-pocalypse was being predicted and of course it didn't really come true at all. And even in the Boston area, that's just a nor'easterly... Nor'easter, I agree. ...every couple of years. Yeah and they're kind of used to it. So obviously this is used on models on... In fact the Weather Channel actually did predict it properly and there's a whole piece that I put in the show notes about what they use to forecast and how they modeled it but here's the funny thing The National Weather Center

48:51 who have thousands of meteorologists and a newly upgraded forecasting supercomputer. Did you know that this all was from the newly upgraded supercomputer, John? No! Yes... Wow They have a nationwide network of balloons weather radar satellite technology they even sent hurricane hunters to fly through the storm to take additional measurements and still their model did not predict correctly, not even close. Now I was watching the Weather Channel the day before it was all supposed to hit and all hell is gonna break loose there's gonna be the storm of the century and the rest of it mm-hmm And they were all in on it Oh really because apparently they slowed down pretty quick and said hold on a second Well they must have slowed down when it began What was interesting is watching CNN Of course where there was in such denial

49:49 And you know, then I was of course. Now looking at Twitter and seeing people saying oh my this is so stupid this is nothing's happening actually hoping here's how stupid people are. I hope it really gets bad! You know? People die in these situations. Don't hope for that stuff you idiot. Then Don Lemon who was just so mad that he had him out there be like It's picking up I can feel it it's really picking up No, Don. It's not picking up where he is in New York Yeah You all look like it was a joke you look nothing at rules you look when they shut down the city And then we mentioned that somebody's hospital was close for the first time in history Stupid everyone to stay home and they put a military curfew out 11 o'clock because anyone anybody out of looting stupid stupid stupid

50:36 Okay, so this of course did lead to some hilarity. Of which I have clips! Ah... good. Yes. Here is... I don't even know where to start quite honestly it's so fantastic here's the mayor of Bridgeport Connecticut and of course now it was very tempting-I did not do it actually didn't see that many people say well there was always a couple saying oh there it is this is your climate change But some of the true climate, man-made climate warmest alarmists took the opportunity to say well this is exactly what happens with man made global warming as you get these kinds of super storms. And here's the mayor of Bridgeport and he's on the phone with The Rev! The Rev Al Sharpton and...you know what?

51:37 Al Sharpton has got the goods on somebody big and I'm gonna just come out and say it. He's got something on Obama that is so bad... I think you know what is? Yeah, I think so too There is a distinct possibility Al Sharpton winds up being, you know like some appointed person at some point. Or dead! Well there you go... Our fire department isn't going to want to have to battle fires in this kind of setting So if the power does go out we're making plans for that eventuality encouraging people not to use candles, not to use space heaters and be very cautious with anything that involves a flame during this time. Firefighters will have a hard time putting fires out. Well Bridgeport Connecticut Mayor Bill Finch thank you so much for your time tonight and please be safe

52:29 We will and thank you for your show, Reverend. You know you've been fighting the good fight on climate change and we can see a crazy climate here and uh...we'd like to have a little bit more of you down in Washington. Alright! Thank you! has been fighting the good fight on climate change. Well, he has been promoting climate change a lot but why is this guy kissing his ass? What kind of mayor is this guy besides the fact that there was hardly anything going on I think you know something because he said we need more to see more of you in Washington and I thought oh okay Maybe he knows something. He was given a talking point, there's no reason to say that out of the blue because nobody in their right mind would think that... Who in their right mind thinks a scammer like Al Sharpton should be more in Washington more? What is wrong with this idiot? Well Sharpton clearly has something on him too!

Bill Nye Deflategate Video, Climate Change Propaganda

Bill Nye "The Science Guy" is featured in a video where he pivots from discussing the NFL's "Deflategate" scandal to delivering a message about climate change. Nye urges viewers to vote for politicians who recognize the threat of global warming. The segment critiques the use of celebrity entertainers to propagate environmental narratives through unrelated sports news.

bill nye· deflategate· climate change· tom brady· carbon dioxide

53:21 Sharpen is the rock on tour, man. He's got it. He's definitely got something going on my favorite person now who who weighed and this of course is not a stretch to see that Bill Nye the science guy would come out and then of course immediately take this to the climate change tip What was it what was his original vocation again? Was he clown or something right and some kind of entertainer balloon animals I can't remember what he did here. We go. I just want to introduce the idea That this storm is connected to climate change. I want to introduce that idea I know there'll be certain viewers who will become unglued they're throwing things at their television sets and so on Wow Boy, you know bill that was so good highly of himself big bill that was so good man You really? I mean you were brave but it's the economic effect if storms like this is huge huge

54:19 You can't cancel half the flights out of one of the world's busiest airports. He is making a very good point here that when you have bogative models, when really it wasn't all that bad yet you have this economic shutdown is very bad yes! Yes so you mean like bogative model computer models predicting climate change even though they can't predict this storm? Hey weather is not climate John Well, it is when it's convenient. The Eastern Seaboard is a very busy area economically for airplane travel and so when you start having these big storms and you don't have the infrastructure to deal with it You're costing your society a lot of money And we're in the developed world where we can handle this stuff So I just want to introduce the idea that the strong winds that we had in Southern California The very strong winds that will be associated with this storm in the next couple days

55:10 These could be connected to climate change. Now, proving any one storm is connected especially cold weather events is quite difficult but I just want to present that. Bill, I love you for bringing that in and thank you so much Bill! You are so brave! Thank you Bill for bringing it in. You are the bravest I know Bringing it in, you're bringing it back down to the climate change argument. Making it real, keeping it real, you da man! So then I find... By the way, I want to stop you for a second. We have to remember that the climate change thing is all based on some computer models which they are always tweaking

55:51 And there is, and one can only imagine what the world's entire globe's atmosphere of things. The winds blowing it around and a jet stream and all the rest of it... ...and the globe turning creating all these swirling things that itself There is a, the Exploratorium. I haven't been to the new one but in San Francisco they have a demonstration it's like a thing spinning it is like a crankshaft of a car and on the crankshaft there are hanging like a piston rod, but on the end of the piston rod there's another piston rod on a pivot. So there is this thing spinning around these things are spin... The pistons are spinning and that and the things on those pistons are spinning on top of it There're three elements going on It's just a mess And it's spinning and spinning! And there was only commentary under display is This particular demonstration No one has ever been able to model it on a computer Right exactly

56:56 And it's just about four pistons and some things swinging around. Meanwhile, I guess they can model the entire Earth's atmosphere? Do you have a link for that? I'd love to read that about what you just said... I'll have to go to the Exploratorium or call one of my friends over there. No, no, I'm sure there is a link somewhere that talks about this Maybe, there might be. I don't have it off hand, just saw it there. And I'll move along with you that we had the president say warmest year on record 2014 the UK Met Office here's what they came out and said With the release of the 2014 HADCRUT4 data by the UK Met Office and the previous release of global temperature by Berkeley Earth, NASA, NOAA. The main conclusion to be drawn from the data is that 2014 was a warm year but not statistically distinguishable for most of the years in the past decade or so meaning that the pause in global annual average surface temperatures continues

57:53 Oh, that must have got headline news across the country. The Hadcrutt 4 dataset compiled by the Met Office and University of East Anglia's Climactic... research, climatic research unit. That's the place where it all stems from that whole climate change argument. Everything! Climate change and climate gate. And climate gate all comes out East Anglia. It shows last year was 0.56 degrees Celsius above the long-term 1961 to 1990 average nominally this ranks 2014 as the joint warmest year in the record tied with 2010, but the uncertainty ranges means it's not possible to definitely say which of several recent years was the warmest. Well that must have been headline news everywhere they talked about that on CNN didn't it? Did Bill Nye The Climate Guy come up and tell us that so we can get our bearings here? No! Bill Nye The Climate Guy as I went on to find more stuff there is a video

58:54 of him and this is an okay I cut off half of it because just boring he's trying to talk about the science of the inflate gate or deflate gate, the footballs that were deflated for them for the game. And, you know as he puts them in the refrigerator and sees if it changes temperature or if a PSI changes with temperature. It matters not what he did there but then... He said oh I'm gonna take a little break and talk about climate change and I was like... What? We're talking about football?! Yes! We've set the refrigerator to 51 degrees Fahrenheit that's too warm for food of all sport. Rose!! This my friends is science

59:35 While we have a few minutes here, I'd like to talk about something else. Climate change is real! While we're all obsessed with Deflategate... Did you hear what he just did? What?! Was that- did YOU put that in there or was that- No no! They cut to a close up of him Yeah, I'll roll it back a little bit. This is not edited! No well it's edited in the video but that's how the video was created The video was you know like... You're not saying stuff in the background? No that is Bill Nye the science guy and it's in the video where they cut... The climate guy yeah That's what I said um where all of a sudden they just go to him full frame and he says... Oh boy! Rose! But this my friends is science

1:00:21 While we have a few minutes here, I'd like to talk about something else. Climate change is real! While we're all obsessed with deflategate So that's what he said and of course I ISOed it. Climate change is real And then I thought wait a minute climate change is real It's real! It's the same guy Bill Nye is Alex Jones. I figured it out anyway, let's continue Let's continue with his with his little rant here Let's keep in mind that there's something about which you should give a fuck yes like Tom He said you could give a fuck really? Yes They bleeped it Brady the world is getting hotter and hotter And do you know why because we humans are pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every time we burn fossil fuels when he burned gasoline in our cars and

1:01:08 And when Tom Brady and Bill Belichick start talking for two-and-a-half hours at press conferences, spilling out carbon dioxide making climate change that much worse. What should we do about this? You should vote for congressmen and senators that appreciate the threat of climate change and the rate in which the world is getting warmer so that we can preserve the earth for humankind for generations to come We just got this ball out of the fridge and it's pretty much the same. I think the Patriots probably bent the rules a little bit, a seemingly insignificant thing but i do want to close with this... Go Seahawks! Dingo boomshakalaka Okay yeah I might give you clip of the day for that Oh that's very kind of you. I was kind of hoping not what happened for sure.

Jeffrey Sachs, Columbia University Earth Institute

Jeffrey Sachs of the Columbia University Earth Institute is criticized for his MSNBC appearance linking blizzard-related economic shutdowns to climate change. The discussion highlights the institute's advisory board, which includes figures like George Soros and Bono. Sachs' claims that Republican senators are "on the take" from the oil industry are characterized as politically motivated.

jeffrey sachs· columbia university· george soros· bono· big oil

1:02:00 Climate change is real. It's real! It's real, it's real! Oh man... This is terrible the way they propagandize the public like this Well I found a new group to be looking at popped up on MSNBC Well before you do- this about climate change still? And and the snow blizzard of Amageddon Magarden yeah Okay, I want to play a clip not this not right now but uh... I'll be done. This is one more clip. Do this one and then you can flow into it Well at least throw my throw my what do ya got big snow? Yeah put this big snow in New England began digging out today from a blizzard that dumped as much as three feet of snow from Connecticut to Maine as temperatures plunged Martha's Vineyard was hard hit and the entire island of Nantucket lost power

1:02:49 With mountains of snow waiting to be shoveled, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh promised an all-out effort. Climate change is real! Yeah it's real! Three whole feet... This is Jeffrey Sachs of the Columbia University Earth Institute which I took a look at don't look yet because that's too funny but here he is MSNBC was all over this blizzard of Blizzardorama being down to climate change and they brought this guy on, again Columbia University's Earth Institute. And here is what he had to say... Just with flight delays the economic impact of travel and the travel cancellations it seems Again you know it so twisted that these people are saying this

1:03:40 Because it truly is because of the faulty models that this economic impact took place. It wouldn't have had to be that bad if the models were correct, but the narrative is like they've got a big plank in front of their head well you know we had to shut everything down over the blizzard because of climate change but no I didn't really pan out that way but they're just ignoring that. Seems like framing this sort of changing climate in an economic context pretty powerful way to get people to start caring a little bit more about the changes that are happening. There is a simple cost-benefit analysis that we are making a terrible deal right now in risking massive, massive losses when the costs of getting the climate system safer would be very small indeed it's just opposed by very strong vested interests. The cost to live

1:04:34 to safety, to the economy is vast and getting larger. But we have this powerful big oil industry that has been fighting this... Oh brothers! They fought the Senate unfortunately At a sale by the way at a basement bargain price they bought the Senate they did Republicans just voted down science again last week. They voted down Science John this is voted down science asshole, we're given the opportunity to reflect on the most basic science that human activity significantly contributes to climate change and the Republicans voted against that 49 to 5 in the Republican Party if you can believe it but of course they're just on the take with the big oil money. Just on the take! These are some of the best clips we've ever brought in. It is an ironic juxtaposition, I think, about the vote that happened last week in Washington and what is happening this week on the Northeast Coast

1:05:37 Yeah, no ironic that nothing happens you moron but listen this is Jeffrey D Sachs and this is Columbia University This is a this is a reputable school. Is it not? Columbia University as a real yeah That's one of the real schools Jeffrey D Sachs director of the Earth Institute Professor of sustainable development But now let's look at the leadership council of No, it wasn't the leadership council. It was the external advisory board There we go and who's right on top of the list Bono? There you go Bono bonos there's our scientists that we want to yes goes vote down and Pachari is on the board The the top man at the IPCC

1:06:24 Yeah, so this is not really an impartial research thing. The Earth... but it's got one of those names you know the oh George Soros is on the advisory board This is a great outfit and what you hear is The leader of this PAC who has meetings... We've talked about this group before. I think so, but you have to understand if this guy sits down with Soros and Bono probably once a year, maybe they combine it in Davao or something. That could also be a good conference call Right, but then this guy's balls are so huge. He just goes out and says all Republican senators are on the take they're crooks! That's borderline libelous

1:07:09 I would think. Pretty hard to libel a sitting elected official. That's true, that's true. It can be done and it has been done but just saying that the... And he never used the words crook which is a problem word by the way for people out there who are budding journalists. A crook implies they've been incarcerated and if they haven't you have a libel suit on your hands Yeah, it came close. You know I'd say he was pretty good advisory boy would a bunch of stooges those guys are for real sorrows Oh Man yeah, so I just thought that with that hole yeah, you know watch it was fun to think what?

CHAPTER 13 / 31 Discussion

Al Jazeera Syria Report, Chemical Weapon Claims

An Al Jazeera report regarding Saudi-US relations is used to illustrate the persistence of debunked narratives concerning Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons. The segment argues that media outlets continue to propagate the "red line" story despite evidence suggesting rebel involvement in the attacks. The hosts emphasize the importance of remaining immune to repetitive media lies.

al jazeera· bashar al-assad· syria· chemical weapons· saudi arabia

1:07:53 There's this, the problem that we were facing especially with our show is that there's a thing called I think it's called shoveling shit against the tide or peeing in the wind. Or carrying water to the ocean? There's all these different kinds of futility involved with a show like ours having to you know every time we bust something Show that this is some sort of a scam or right or lies, or whatever it you are fighting never-ending reiteration Of the bullshit on the other side from numerous sources keeping the public as brainwashed as possible and the clip I have to exemplify This hmm. Is this I would tell you what the clippers were let me set it up just AJ propagating the lie mm-hmm

1:08:46 This is Ron Aljazeera, this is one of their correspondents talking about Saudi Arabia's relationship with the United States. And then he throws in the big lie, which has been debunked by universities, by different organizations who have studied it. By news organizations that it was Assad who sent the chemical bombs or these you know chemical weapons into... Well they were like bottle rockets that stuck in the ground There was a bunch of stuff and obviously wasn't

1:09:23 It wasn't the kind of rocket that could be sent from where they would have these things sent from. Also, they weren't made... They looked at the metal and all the rest it was bullcrap! It was the rebels themselves who were bombing their own people and actually bombing a lot of government... A bunch of Assad people in Syria we're talking about And they were killing them and then it was played by the media as Assaad killing his own soldiers What a what an evil person compelled because the Saudis were very upset with the Obama administration's policy in the region. First of all, the secret talks that led up to the so-called P5 plus one nuclear talks over Iran's program now underway in a more or less public way. The situation in ISIL with ISIL, the president trying to push forward now Saudi planes flying and the American led coalition but more importantly at that time

1:10:14 Saudi Arabia is very much, their disappointment with President Obama from backing away from the red line which he himself drew after Bashar al-Assad the president of Syria had deployed those chemical weapons killing innocent civilians. The president backing away deferring to Congress nothing ever came to it. The chemical weapons program was ostensibly destroyed under the auspices of Russia remember that deal was struck with Russia but the Saudis were So this is again propagating a lie that Assad was using these chemical weapons when there's no evidence of it at all, when studied by experts.

1:10:53 And everybody knows this is true now. It's bullcrap, this whole thing was bullcrap and the president did back off because apparently somebody in the government said that this is bullshit you know? You better defer to Congress which he did and got out of there before we had to start bombing Syria just they were going to do that if you recall a whole bunch people like McCain and these others were encouraging that and we didn't do it and uh... but you can't even will be fighting this forever obviously this is going to see this goes right back to the old bull crap that it was a side who sent these missiles when it wasn't well in this is the case with the climate change thing with every time some new information comes out that says well maybe it's not the case boomer just keeps saying repeating the lie and go on never ending what is the bob do the one that said near the so obvious right now is this two thousand fourteen being the

1:11:47 hottest year on record. And the president said that in the state of the union and, and then people who collect the data themselves are saying well there's a probability which isn't even 50%. It's crazy! But they just keep saying it. They just keep saying it over and over again I want to tell people that listen to this show you have to keep listening to this show because I think it helps keep you immune or at least aware to the point where you don't fall lockstep into this kind of robotic belief that is propagated by people with vested interests. We know that the carbon tax folks, they want to just gouge into public with carbon taxes all about carbon taxes not about climate change

California Mileage Tax Proposal, Electric Vehicle Batteries

California officials are considering a mileage-based tax to replace declining gas tax revenue caused by fuel-efficient and electric vehicles. The environmental impact of mining nickel and lithium for EV batteries is discussed as a hidden cost of "green" technology. The segment explores how the "Internet of Things" and smog check data could be used to track and bill drivers for miles traveled.

1:12:35 We've pointed out before a million times and it gets pointed out once in awhile that cap-and-trade doesn't do anything But that's what they were pushing every all cap-and-trade That'll that's not solving the climate if you were sincere If this was actual science and they could prove it which they can't because his models. Mm-hmm, they would just cap yeah I got a report which kind of ties into this, which I thought was funny from California but it's going to be in number of states. Now that the oil prices are so low and we're paying one...I saw 174. Nice! In Texas. That is pretty nice. So this is a problem. It is a major source of revenue for states. The tax which is part of gasoline tax

1:13:19 And California is, and this crops up from time to time. They are now considering a so-called mileage tax which...and I have to kind of grin about this This is pissing off people who thought that they were following the good lead from their government by getting electric cars and hybrid cars You know, guess what? You're getting screwed! It absolutely is to save gas. Yes.

1:14:02 The current state tax is 36 cents per gallon, but California is thinking of scrapping that and instead charging a mileage tax. A test program wouldn't start until 2017 frequent drivers may end up paying more I think i have to do the calculation to see but it doesn't sound good. Revenue from the state gas taxes used to maintain state highways and bridges, The State says that revenue has been dropping quickly due to more fuel efficient cars on the road In 2003 revenue reached 2.87 billion dollars in 2013 It was 2.62 billion

1:14:40 Governor Brown says the state has a $59 million backlog on highway maintenance, but many drivers don't want the cost to fall on them. Especially drivers of electric vehicles. Electric is the wave in the future and if we start penalizing those people now what we should be doing is taxing I find this rather amusing.

1:15:20 that a lot of people really bought into the electric vehicle, hybrid vehicle. And I dislike them for number reasons specifically the batteries which are just a disaster for the earth and you have to get rid of them. Yeah, just by...and then we'll interrupt you for a split second on this thinking. The battery, the lithium ion and more importantly nickel metal hydride, the nickel mining which takes place mostly in Canada is a huge environmental disaster. Big problem, big problems. Everybody's all in oh the car... they're also upset about everything and they always cite the environment but they always turn a blind eye to the mining operations that involve making these batteries and then the batteries what do they do with them after their spent which they do get spent it's horrible And so I'm

1:16:09 I'm smiling because people really bought into this and now they're like, wait a minute. We're getting screwed now! Yeah hello? And how are we going to measure this mileage tax? Hmm... GPS? That's the easy part. GPS? Are we gonna be tracking it? No, it'd be the black boxes. Does it make any difference? It's a tracking system. You need to then have the internal revenue service... Most new cars have the tracking system already And I think all the hybrids do. So you can go and take your car to a garage or whatever, and they can plug in... Well they have the ODC2 interface whatever to get all of that data but does that also... Yeah so what will happen is just like the uh... But how are they going to? That has to be connected! They'll have to send my information No no it's already set up It's already done When you go into your yearly smog check

1:17:12 I mean, that's just one step away from...because they already turn in the data to the state. It's all on the computer. They give you a small check it goes into the computer right there on the spot gets sent to Sacramento. John! It's the Internet of Things. It is and it gets sent to Sacramento and they- Oh no. And it gets put in, it goes on your record that you're okay or you're not okay. Yeah All that has to change. That same thing has to happen for every car, every year because they do it make you do it every year in one way or another is California and you have to go in and then they plug-in again be a small check but at the same time they see how many miles you've done your car that goes to Sacramento and that gets billed as attacks right so when you reregister your car

CHAPTER 15 / 31 Discussion

Automotive Sound Engineering, Fake Engine Noise

A professional automotive builder provides insight into why modern car manufacturers like Porsche, BMW, and Ford pump artificial engine sounds into cabins. The practice is attributed to heavy sound-deadening materials that make modern engines too quiet for performance enthusiasts. The discussion also covers noise-canceling muffler technology and the history of audio engineering in cars.

oem· engine sound· ford mustang· harman international· sound deadening

1:17:55 you have to, instead of being 100 bucks it might be 250 bucks $150 in tax. Well we're not going to have that done it's a done deal I'm gonna tell you this idea this is not going to happen in Texas I can guarantee you that and will not happen and although kind of jumping ahead and it's tech news I just want to do it right now because we got an email from producer Joey about the artificial engine sounds in cars yeah he said Always wanted to contribute to the show, but my world of automotive doesn't come up on the show very much. Hope here's got some useful info for you and feel free even more questions I worked in the automotive industry for the past 10 years I build specialty cars for Hyundai and Ford have done work for Chevrolet and various other OEMs and aftermarket brands What's an OEM? Other engineering no original equipment manufacturer right

1:18:51 The issue of OEMs pumping sound into the car has nothing to do with the engine not making that sound anymore. The issue actually is, modern cars are packed full of so much sound deadening shit and crap which I think as an actual automotive term they use in Detroit... Hey Pete! Got any more of that shit and crap? You know, the funny thing is that material they use a lot of it. They put between the when they hook things together as cold is having worked in these factories is called monkey shit. There you go. So I'm shitting crap to make the experience peaceful on the inside. You just can't hear shit he's saying these words

1:19:27 It's a pretty common theme now among performance cars. Porsche, BMW Ford by the way which one does not belong in that list? Porsche, BMW, Ford are all doing this it's actually not even sophisticated I have one I pulled off of 2013 Ford Mustang I can send if you want to check it out yes Actually, there's one that has a link to a Car and Driver article. I would say about 90% of an engine sound these days is actually formulated in the headers through the exhaust. Perfect example is if you ever hear a modified Subaru driving around Austin it has very distinct... Yeah, that's true! It has very distinct sound because the car features unequal length headers. Oh, that's interesting. And yeah, I actually watched the video that he...and I'll put this into show notes for people who want to take a look at it

1:20:15 So this is a common occurrence. Well, a friend of mine and this was over 10 years ago who I've known for a long time was an audio engineer he was working at Harman International and they were developing this...I think that's where the technology comes from And he told me that they could put...that it would be originally being done to replace mufflers so you can get...maintain your horsepower but with the mufflers would have sound canceling data And speakers that would do the sound cancelling. Which is like any other sound cancelling. Like noise cancelling, you mean? Putting something out of phase and... The same thing. Yeah, noise cancellings. They use noise cancellation so the car would have really no muffler but it'd be totally silent and then he said that they could take it one step further and make the car sound like anything

1:21:03 You can make it sound like a Ferrari. You can make it sound like an old Chevy or anything you wanted, right? So you could actually have them. They didn't this product never came out obviously but you could literally and literally is the word have a switch then you could just click click to make a different sounds. Oh that's cool. That's yeah nice well I'm walking these days in some of the middle of Austin back in whatever the case now my old 25 year-old Lexus Which has a beautiful sounding engine, because it's an 8 with lots of valves. Right But the car was... It's just totally quiet I can barely hear the engine inside Over the rattling you mean? Of the stuff on the inside There is really no rattling in this thing

1:21:49 Okay, that's just stuff bouncing around the back John has stuff in his car and this Lexus is from 91 92 92 or 93 maybe 93 whatever the case It makes a nice noise outside, but it does just from the muffled sound. But it is free this technology they don't... This only reason what he's talking about. This only... Your Lexus yeah, it may make a nice sound but it is not a chick magnet John. It's really really not. Would be okay if I didn't have that one thin tire. Especially with us in it! Women are going like

1:22:32 Wow, look at those gay guys. I would see that yeah, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha A Lambo. You have a Lambo? Lambo, yes my Lambo Just get yourself a big Jeep No I don't need a car! I have one- I don't need a car but i'm in the middle of town and walk to everything Yeah is there a grocery store nearby? It's multiple Everythings nearby Its kind of crazy right now in Austin They had dinner last night drinks and dinner with Eric the con- THE CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER

CHAPTER 16 / 31 Discussion

Texas Legislature Lobbying, Fixe Restaurant Austin

The start of the Texas legislative session in Austin brings an influx of lobbyists to the city's high-end restaurants. A visit to the restaurant "Fixe" with a constitutional lawyer highlights the social dynamics of political influence in the state capital. The hosts discuss the limited 140-day calendar of the Texas regular session.

texas legislature· austin· lobbying· fixe restaurant· constitutional law

1:23:27 at this new place, Fixe? F-I-X-E. Yeah, Fixe is very famous amongst foodies all over the country... The whole country. The place is out of control! I mean this thing just they opened and then it's been full but what's happening right now is the Texas legislature is in session and people don't understand this when they uh they don't know about Texas or um legislature it's compared to Washington The Texas legislature really is only in session for, I think four or five months. And actually I looked it up on the wiki book of knowledge thing... The Texas legislature meets in regular session on the second Tuesday in January of each odd-numbered year and the Constitution of Texas limits the regular session to 140 calendar days you know? And they get paid like nothing like 35 bucks a day or something

1:24:19 And so, the town right now is just riddled with lobbyists. And it's really quite interesting. Well they must go to that restaurant like crazy? Yes sir! So Eric, the constitutional lawyer... he knows a lot of these people. The whole night, hey Eric! These people are lobbying for hotel, for gas and oil companies and it's just that this talks that are going on is really interesting And this is the place to be. Did you hand out any No Agenda CDs? CDs and stickers. Stickers?! You're not doing your job! Oh man, come on... I'm not doing my job Yeah i am When's the last time you handed out a No Agenda CD? Yeah it's been awhile But y'know I-I'm the business card today That's no good, you need the cd Usually here after we've had a little conversation with somebody Here's what I say

1:25:20 You just met Adam Curry. Google me." Yeah, no you don't! Google me... You just met Adam Curry. Google me. Yeah I'm sure anyway so the dinner was good i guess? yeah we had yes these people make food and just into a luxury it's so nice what's even better is because i was there on one of the two or three preview nights they just happened to walk in and you know the owners when you're an owner You always want to get you know, get your early Adopters you want to get him in and want to make him feel comfortable at regulars I'm a regular now and but that's the big deal to be irregular But it's but he makes me look good. No walk-in like hey Adam How are you doing? And he just knew if you like just kicks people off of the bar kneecaps them here you go out of them You can sit here All right

1:26:21 I don't know why. I brought that up, I didn't know where you were going either. You just wanted to brag about this restaurant? Nah it was something... And you're a regular! There ya go, i'm a regular. Here's the new little report. This is a stand alone clip, The New Feinstein is called. Oh wait a minute, I'm sorry the chat room just had a better line You just met Adam Curry. You can find me at SeanHannity.com All right, I'm sorry. Onward! Now this is the new Feinstein. This is a guy-a guy took over the because it's not you know the Republicans took over the Senate so all the committees are now run by Republicans that's the real only reason you want mostly one party or the other and so Feinsteins off the Senate Committee on Intelligence and this new guys in and just buy this clip alone you'll see where this is headed

Senator Richard Burr, CIA Torture Report

Senator Richard Burr, the new Republican chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, has requested the Obama administration return all copies of the landmark report on CIA torture. Burr also intends to return the "Panetta Review," a secret internal document that reportedly found the agency inflated the value of information obtained through torture.

1:27:13 The new Republican chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee has asked the Obama administration to return all copies of the Senate's landmark report on CIA torture. Senator Richard Burr has indicated he will return a secret CIA internal report known as the Panetta Review, which found the agency inflated the importance of information gained through torture. Oh! Well, well. Well this is what we've been looking to see let's have this reports back Yeah, and her head is gone nice so this guy's a douchebag hell yeah Burrs his name burr there's a lot of famous burs throughout history I think as birds go birds Let's see what else we got well that I do have a couple things that I would like to get into We had not one but two new videos come out from Isis

CHAPTER 18 / 31 Discussion

ISIS Video Forensics, Kenji Goto Message

Forensic analysis of recent ISIS videos featuring Japanese hostage Kenji Goto suggests professional Western production. File names containing "dvd.mp4" suffixes indicate exports from Apple's Final Cut Pro software, raising questions about the origin of the content. The segment critiques the Site Intelligence Group's role in distributing these videos and the shifting demands of the kidnappers.

isis· kenji goto· site intelligence group· final cut pro· video editing

1:28:08 And I've noticed an anomaly. Now, you know Brian the Gay Crusader gets these videos...I think where the place he works or somehow he has a subscription because you can't find these videos anywhere! The news doesn't show them and again then in this last two have been the Japanese Goto holding up a picture of something, you know guy whose head is on his chopped off head looks like it's on his body. It's all out the size out of proportion whatever then you can only get it from these site intelligence group and the mainstream news doesn't show it. It's very hard to find this gets taken down by YouTube and other videos even LiveLeak takes it down

1:28:53 And so there I just wanted to play the audio of the second message. No, actually it doesn't even matter... The third message which came out yesterday now they want instead of a hundred million dollars now they changed their mind and they wanted a prisoner exchange which would involve a Jordanian pilot and Jordan is now, oh, we got to talk about it. Let's see if we can work this out and maybe we can make something happen. And unbelievably going from $200 million dollars to 100 million dollars to a hostage release now ISIS ISIL whatever IS

1:29:32 has given a 24-hour stay of execution, which should be up about now. But here's the most recent video — it was just a video with a still frame and almost like an audio voiceover from the Japanese man Goto. I'm Kenji Goto Jogo This is a voice message i've been told to send to you If Sajida Al Rishawi Is not ready for exchange for my life at the Turkish border By Thursday sunset 29th of January Mosul time, the Jordanian pilot Moaz Al-Qasasva will be killed immediately.

1:30:13 And that is the entire message. Now... Play this clip, ISIS hostage and it must be the same clip because I'm not sure that is. That may be you may have a clip from before this one We've been waiting for 35 days to get a statement or decision from the Jordanian government in Waad's case we've been waiting for any word from the Jordanian government The Jordanian government said nothing today about a Japanese hostage journalist Kenji Goto he spoke in an Islamic State message yesterday I only have 24 hours left to live. Yeah, so that is from the second man if you want to complain it I have the whole message No that's okay He only has 24 hours to live and then we had another message 24 hours later Yes saying I'm a dead man? I don't get it So he's not dead but here's what was interesting so Brian keeps diligently sending me the original videos I put them in the show notes And then I said Brian

1:31:07 Did you get these direct? These are directly from site intelligence. Then whether he gets down, I don't care how he gets them. He may have joined the, uh... You know, you can register as I said, I believe where he works during the day, he may have an account. Oh yeah it could be. Um so these are the original MP4 files which by itself I think is already interesting because if you're ISIS, ISIL IS and you create this video. I presume that you then upload it to YouTube in a number of other places and the original isn't... You know? You don't typically stick that anywhere. And what's shocking to me is that they're using mp4 instead of augvorbis Well but here even more shocking Here are the file names

1:31:55 And these come directly from the Site Intelligence Group, who I have accused without any real proof but just call it spidey sense that they are just creating these and that something went horribly wrong with their production process. That's why we haven't had any video is-goto2nd-message__dvd.mp4 and then the most recent one is is-goto3rd-message__dvd.mp4 These file names and the suffixes, particularly the underscore DVD represent a...an export from Final Cut Pro at DVD quality

1:32:39 Uh, that is and then naming this file in this manner which is consistent with everything I can see in the file itself. This is the original file name as far as I can tell with my low-grade forensics. Oh that's interesting! This is not made by some dude in a hut somewhere...this is made by a professional video editor who is using Final Cut Pro and is exporting, typing in the title in English. And not just you know third 3rd. This is an Anglo person who was creating...who's exporting these from it's an export! It's an export from a timeline I've done enough of these to at least

1:33:22 presume that I am very close to how this is happening. I've done a lot of video editing, a lot of exporting... This is how you export it and this appends these the quality and as you pointed out MP4. This is an Apple... Pretty sure this would be an Apple product And, you know... I don't know that they use a lot of Macs over there in terrorist land. Let me just open up the actual video and see what it is. There's any other kind of watermarks? If these are original right out of the machine

1:34:01 I think there's a lot of extra information in the headers or someplace. There may be, yeah there may be some have these uploaded they'll be in the show notes the original files as I've received them and some people can you perform whatever forensics they want to or can do it just seems bizarre to me that this is how these file names are And also, let's be honest. I mean the guy is talking in English, the subtitles are English and Arabic which i'd love to know what the subtitles are really saying nothing in Japanese... The Japanese very poor english speakers so all of this and particularly with an extra 24 we got some extra time What is this?

CHAPTER 19 / 31 Discussion

Pentagon Briefing on Mosul, Rear Admiral John Kirby

Rear Admiral John Kirby's Pentagon briefing regarding the eventual fight for Mosul is analyzed for its vague planning details. The emphasis on Mosul in both military briefings and ISIS propaganda is noted as a significant shift in the conflict's narrative. The hosts suggest that the focus on this specific terrain indicates an upcoming military campaign.

mosul· john kirby· pentagon· isil· iraqi security forces

1:34:43 Is that what kind of negotiation are you running? You say, we're gonna kill this guy in 24 hours. Make him say it on the tape I only have 24 hours to live and then it's like well... We'll cut your little slack For what?! No This makes no sense Then you heard maybe in this clip Mozol time Get some water man Yeah He said mozel time Right? Mozel time That would be mozel Mosul in Iraq, which I presume that's where he is. Brought me to this interesting clip from our spokeshole from the Pentagon, the schwackin' noses guy at Rear Admiral Kirby. Yeah, Kirby and

1:35:28 I can't, I'm like listening to what he's saying. He says something and he says but you know, I can't really jump ahead of the gun and let anything new or what's going on? And it's in regard to Mosul. Well we've said before Mosul is key terrain there's no question about that. Mosul remains in ISIL hands, we know that. And I think everybody's mindful that eventually there's going to have to be a fight for Mosul We know that. When? I don't think you can predict that right now, but it is fair to say and i want to be careful here that i don't divulge planning efforts before they are ripe to talk about but obviously we're working closely with the Iraqi security forces on helping them better understand the challenges with respect to any kind of

1:36:26 campaign in Mosul and making sure, this is part of the train advise and assist mission to making sure that they are as battlefield competent as possible. Do you think anything's going to happen in Mosul John? That was very unclear to me I'm guessing yes And so to have This you know Mosul, Mosul all of a sudden Mosul. Why Mosul from IS? Why Mosul from Kirby?" You know just all of a sudden just oh well It's obvious we're gonna have the showdown on Mosul But I don't want to jump the gun or anything too much Mosul talk too much very strange now Well that's against it is a heads up for people who know how to listen to this stuff heads-up now

CHAPTER 20 / 31 Discussion

James Kirchick and FPI, ISIS Execution of Gays

James Kirchick of the Foreign Policy Initiative is discussed in relation to reports of ISIS executing men for homosexuality. The segment questions the authenticity of social media images showing men being thrown from buildings, suggesting they may be used as a tool to provoke Western intervention. Kirchick's rhetoric is framed as an attempt to link the gay rights movement to the war against the Caliphate.

james kirchick· foreign policy initiative· isis· gay rights· propaganda

1:37:11 Finally, someone's taking my advice. I'm sad to say that it's James Kerchick because I think he's a douche. James Kerchick works for the Foreign Policy Initiative. He... just a reminder he is the guy who set up the RT girl to quit on air You recall? Oh yeah. And so he says... Liz Wall. So he's a journalist, but really works for FPI as you know right wing I think bunch of crazies really. We were talking about Liz Wall over dinner and how she was suckered into quitting and now she can't get work

1:37:51 No, she got screwed. She got totally screwed! She got totally screwed with some promises from either this guy or... She was going to be working at CNN or somewhere else. Now you will never hear from her again and I'll tell you why because you can't do what she did to anybody. You never work again. You never work again cause who? You can't be trusted ever. She was a dummy James Kurchik, as you also recall is the guy who went on a rampage about Putin hating gays. And he was RT and like Putin horrible man! He hates the gays and I should have clipped that...I heard last night or two nights ago on NPR that another one of those lies now transsexuals can't even have a driver's license in Russia

1:38:38 It's just so unchecked, you know? It's so unchecked that people are just spouting this crap. I'm like... Anyway! So James Kurchick finally takes my advice if you want to really draw people in if you want to get them excited about degrading and ultimately destroying ISIL You gotta kill a few homos just to put it that way. Have I not been consistent in my message? You gotta get the gays involved! You believe you have a thesis, yes, that once the gays are brought into a political debate people start to focus on it more than they would otherwise correct they get motivated because it hits a whole bunch of buttons. I believe James Kertchick is gay but he was on some

1:39:21 I think it was a radio show, and it was very long. It was pretty much the same topic. I just cut it down to what I think is the pertinent information for our show. According to the reports—and these were images that were posted on ISIS Twitter and social media accounts... So right there? Right there I have to stop and say that has nothing to do with journalism! And this is now taken for fact. Oh, it was on an ISIS Twitter account? Obviously it must be true! Which is just crazy that we've gotten to this point, that people... I mean who's behind it? Why isn't that account closed and could it be just someone else pretending. And of course you should remember the fake lesbian that lived in London and claimed she was in Syria or something. It was a guy actually. Uh-huh uh-huh. And the other phony baloney accounts are set up by the State Department Well here ya go! This is from awhile back. I had this group of young techno experts

1:40:23 That's the whole song, I'm sorry. I should play that at the end of this show Yeah techno experts is what she called them Techno experts were using social media It could be our own people doing this so fine But now we're all in and there's no questioning Clearly it was posted on some kind of ISIS social media account it's true! There were two men who are thrown off buildings for quote-unquote The crime of the people of lots which is a reference to uh... you know sodom and gomorrah uh... in the people of law who were found guilty by god committing sodomy um, so apparently these two men were executed for the crime of homosexuality. And they're very harrowing photos there are there You should warn your listeners before they look at them

1:41:12 what they are about to see. And again, all we really have is some messages posted on a Twitter account with photos saying we threw these guys off the building because they were gay We don't know if they're really gay...We don't know any of that It's not particularly surprising it's not news really that Islamists are killing gay people I think it's just not so often that you see it so disturbingly and visually. You've heard stories, obviously about these sorts of uh... punishments being needed out but you don't uh... mopping cd user photos of it and this is a rare instance of actually seeing it with one's eyes and i think that's why it becomes such a big new story on the internet really said well be trying to make it a big news story perhaps i think that you've seen now over the past couple years the gay rights movement

1:42:08 but domestically united states around the world a lot of successes and in you know convincing people of its of its righteousness of its cause and here you have people on the other side of this debate I love that. He's such a robot, that he throws out a non-sequitur talking point these... now you have these people on the other side of the debate? I'm sorry is that the killing gays debate that i missed was that some kind of monk debate that i missed? I don't know what debate he's talking about! He just uses the word randomly yeah because he's he's a dickhead

1:42:45 but domestically united states around the world a lot of successes and in you know convincing people of its of its righteousness of it's cause and here you have people on the other side of this debate who we are talking about disagreement over something like gay marriage or gays in the military those are issues that i think people goodwill here in this country are here in the united states can't you know disagree over and be civil and respect one another we're talking about barbarians and savages people who murder people who murder other people simply because of who they are and they are just as proud of doing this uh... killing people but killing homosexuals simply because of their nature they're just as proud of that

1:43:32 gay people are of their own identities. And it's almost as if they're spitting in the face of Western civilization, and saying look you have gay marriage and youth sex, you know, gay people and gay couples and gay families but this is what we do to gay people who come into our buildings. We need to kill them! So James Kirchick is trying, he's giving a yeoman's try there. What show was that? I don't know some radio show. I could look it up. I don't know This is not going anywhere the way he's doing these stinks well No, he but kill dogs to they got bring dogs into it But he he is in the FBI and if that if he represents their thinking then as very possible We'll see more of this It's what works because it hits all the button just because they're different

1:44:28 You're killing people because they're different or what they believe. Yeah, that's what war is all about That would be pervasive that thesis it may be known to him Because he's seen at work But I don't know if the agency and as a whole would even get it on why were they anyone give a shit? I'm not sure. I'm not convinced of this I think you write about him specifically but I'm not sure that it's a reflection of the agency as a whole Agency Is it FBI? No, no. FPPP Foreign Policy Initiative. The think tank! It's a think tank. Oh those... I don't but that was oh i'm sorry what was that I was confused obviously so huh this is a very infant it's the fpi big time think tank yeah they got Liz Walter resigned they are the Putin hates gays Putin hates dogs Putin hates Putins well maybe maybe so they're trying to go back on that then never mind they're trying

CHAPTER 21 / 31 Discussion

Geert Wilders Interview, Islam and Sharia Law

Dutch politician Geert Wilders delivers a stern warning about the "real face of Islam" and the implementation of Sharia law in Europe. In an interview, Wilders argues that ISIS is strictly following the life of Muhammad and the text of the Quran. He criticizes world leaders like Obama and Cameron for separating acts of terror from Islamic ideology.

geert wilders· netherlands· sharia law· quran· political correctness

1:45:23 And then the final thing I have in this Caliphate department is Geert Wilders being...I think he was, this is an interview by hmmm it's maybe the Christian Broadcast Network or something which fits and you know Wilders is getting a lot of play in the Netherlands. Of course a lot of people if not publicly certainly privately saying oh man we should've listened to him Now it's all messed up. But now the crazy Muslim extremists, they're all going crazy are gonna kill us just waiting for the other shoe to drop. So he is getting interviews and his English has improved dramatically also. How can the truth be something you are not allowed

1:46:06 to say. I mean, look what is happening today in the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq! They are copying the life of Muhammad. As you know, Muhammad 1400 years ago when he went from Mecca to Medina did exactly the things that Muslims from Islamic States are doing today. They are beheading people Americans UK citizens according to what is written down in the Quran. Surah 47 verse 4, whenever you meet the unbelievers smite their necks until you have a bloodbath among them they are living according to the rules of Sharia law of the life of Muhammad the hadith of the Quran and it's not pretty They have declared war on us on United States, Canada Holland Europe

1:46:58 And we should see it as a war. How unfortunate it is they declared war on us, so to speak the truth... ...is something as a duty for me to do and show people what the real face of Islam is. Let me tell you that all those political leaders around the world my own Prime Minister Mr Rutte The Prime Minister of United Kingdom Mr Cameron but also your own President I have to say Mr Obama is really fooling the people by saying after every atrocity, after every beheading that it has nothing to do with Islam. It is Islam! It's the core business of Islam and we should be able to get rid of political correctness and see for what it is And that's a violent dangerous ideology that we are importing in our free societies So... We have to stand up and fight against this Well, I see this as my mission

CHAPTER 22 / 31 Discussion

UK Muslim Integration, PBS NewsHour Report

A PBS NewsHour report examines the lack of cultural assimilation among Muslim communities in the United Kingdom. The segment features interviews with a radical preacher and a London pub owner who expresses concern over the loss of British culture. Additionally, Denmark's $9 million investment in "de-radicalization" programs is mentioned.

pbs newshour· london· muslim integration· assimilation· denmark

1:47:52 And whether you're a judge, or court, or some Muslim who wants to threaten me, or a politician from another party I would rather die than not be able to speak freely. All right this is a bit it seems to be a trend right now because i have a report from of all places the PBS NewsHour which is also an anti-Muslim screed that showed up around the same time and this is worth listening to. This is out of the UK. British, Chowdhury preaches to other native born UK Muslims that there's nothing special about being British People believe being British can be loving the Queen fishing ships standing in queues I believe having a passport is a mere travel document

1:48:37 If you were born somewhere, it does not mean that you need to have allegiance to that particular place. My allegiance is what I believe." That sort of thinking upsets Bernice Drew who owns the Turner Old Star Pub in the London district of Wapping She says the Muslim communities here most of South Asian descent aren't Unlike earlier waves of immigrants, Britain has assimilated from its former colonies including India. They're totally different to anybody that we've ever had come here before they are very very strong in their religion and they don't tend to integrate as others have before them. So you have a kind of divide, which is not good thing so they come here and they keep 100% their way, their original ways, don't assimilate into our way at all Do you think that Muslims here are threat to British Way of Life?

1:49:35 in certain areas of London that we're losing our culture and it's being replaced with theirs. That sense of distance seems to be shared by many of Britain's nearly 3 million Muslims as well, though many mix with the general population a great many others choose to live work in self-segregated communities around the country. At his merchant stall in Whitechapel, in London's East End, Pakistani immigrant Javed Iqbal denounced this month's Paris terror attacks but he also criticized European culture for allowing disrespect to the Prophet Muhammad. There should be a limit you cannot just keep provoking

1:50:14 We don't use the word N for some people because it's insulting. Yeah, but we don't chop your head off for using it I love the Fish and chips and standing in the queue that's pretty much sums up my experience That's British culture standing in a queue and bohica is another one of their favorites bend over here comes again Yeah this is this is exactly the problem And the happiest place on earth, which we all know is because of the free health care happy pills Denmark once again voted happiest people on earth Announced they're spending nine million dollars on D radicalization programs I don't want the Muslims happy there. There's very few there They'd never really open the gate. Oh, I wouldn't say there's very few well as compared to Sweden and

1:51:05 I wouldn't know the exact numbers, but I think all of Scandinavia... There's a lot of kvetching back and forth between Denmark and Sweden over the huge Muslim population that are down in Malmo. Right, right Well, this is... I don't know where all this is supposed to go. It's supposed to be arouse the Muslims or something? I'm not absolutely sure now that there's a woman in the pub moaning and groaning. Get some water will ya! Moaning and groaning she says it wasn't like when the Indians and Pakistanis came in they were assimilated

CHAPTER 23 / 31 Discussion

European Immigration Policy, Generational Differences

The differences in integration between various immigrant groups in the Netherlands, such as Turks and Moroccans, are explored. The discussion posits that the European welfare state provides disincentives for assimilation compared to the American model. The segment also touches on the "non-confrontational" nature of the millennial generation regarding social norms.

immigration· netherlands· moroccans· millennials· cultural assimilation

1:51:46 I don't, you know when any foreign culture makes an exodus to some other area they never assimilate right away. It takes a number of generations before they do well the Germans in the United States are all part of the Bund for a long time. I need to say... The Irish! So i was in Europe and the Netherlands when the Turks came in actually it was the Surinamers these are from Dutch colonies but then Turks came in one generation, not a number of generations. And they are completely fully integrated in the Netherlands but the Moroccans which are the Muslims that the Netherlands is dealing with it there is something different I believe part of it has to do with the EU and mainly

1:52:30 Of course, the reason for this is Europe is dying. It needs new people and it needs people to come in with babies who are going to support this current class when we need people to work otherwise there'll be no money to go around particularly when so many services are centralized and free And so the incentive was come to Holland, get free money. So you won't live on the street and the more children you have, you get money for each child and everything is free! And, you know if you believe in the theories on the... certainly what I've received from my Jewish handlers in Los Angeles. If you read Milestones and all of these books about Sharia and the bloodless Jihad it is not unthinkable that there was some initiative to say hey why don't just go in there sit in hang out for a little while then we'll slowly get into government which has happened Certainly I can..I know that for sure in Netherlands local goverment The mayor of Rotterdam's Muslim

1:53:33 Although, he said, hey if you're gonna go to Syria you should pack your bags and F off. You're gonna go fight for them but it is a complete integration into countries that are non-traditional immigration countries America very traditional immigration country we know how to do this which is why works much better for us I think We also don't take credit cards... Didn't we talk about the last show? If any... Don't take credit cards Yeah, but you know Christina walks down the street in Rotterdam and there's a Moroccan guy standing on the corner. Hey baby hey baby hey baby! And she if she doesn't recognize him... You slut? You whore? You cunt?! Like in the span of 30 seconds and people just walk by like oh it was just some shitty Moroccans you know I just don't see that happening in America. I see Americans go with yo excuse me son what'd you just say why not beat you to a pulp we don't talk that way here don't you think

1:54:32 Well, probably. Yeah we just won't have it. You want to know? We've got our own problems. The millennial generation though let's start with one of our previous theses and discussions the new millennial generation non-confrontational do put up with that crap. They won't tell somebody who's cutting in line, and we've discussed this on the show... It has been verified that they won't say anything to someone cutting in line if they don't know how to do it because there are no adult examples around or they're not paying attention. Well okay tracing that back is because I would although my daughter doesn't take crap

1:55:11 I don't think. Yeah, we're a shitty generation! We've taught our kids to be wussies and don't worry you'll win no matter what." Well that's the clip that we have... Why don't you play that clip? Which clip is this? This is the gather on there's no competition.

CHAPTER 25 / 31 Discussion

Podcast Duration Debate, No Agenda Store

The hosts discuss whether the increasing length of the show—often exceeding three hours—is negatively impacting donation levels. They reference feedback from "The Great Grand Duke Pelsmakers" regarding listeners falling behind on episodes. A brief update on the No Agenda Store mentions that while it is mostly closed, some inventory like mugs remains available.

2:07:16 But it has been dwindling. And you wrote me, John, you said that you believe because people all want to catch up and they're listening to every bit that the show is too long and that is now actually hurting donations? I have that sense yes, the show is too long and it's hurting donations we even have The Great Grand Duke Pelsmakers who was also behind yeah he's way behind He said he said way behind And the show has been going three hours and longer, and I think three hours is probably too much.

CHAPTER 26 / 31 Discussion

Sarah Palin Iowa Speech, Teleprompter Failure

Sarah Palin's recent speech at the Iowa Freedom Summit is analyzed following media reports of a "gobbledygook" performance caused by a teleprompter failure. An interview with former advisor Nicole Wallace on the Letterman show is critiqued for its portrayal of Palin's intelligence. The hosts discuss the technical skills required to transition from a failed prompter to paper scripts.

sarah palin· nicole wallace· david letterman· teleprompter· iowa freedom summit

2:10:44 It just, sorry to hear that. People don't buy stuff. That's the problem. People don't buy stuff. Yeah they want free stuff! People always want free stuff. They want free... I forgot of this great little thing here i was going to tie it into Miss USA can I call back to that for a moment? Sure. So in Iowa I guess they had the Freedom Conference or whatever it is Ebno that's where Republicans get together and a lot of people are there who want to be possibly considered. There's actually two of these events, one was in LA and I think the money event was the LA one but there is that Iowa thing going on yes And what came out of it on the media which is a little baffling to me was Sarah Palin

2:11:38 Now, you know I've always stood up for Sarah Palin and her book and her record in Alaska. But yeah, I've been very disappointed sometimes...I just stand-up for women in general. And she's always gotten amazed at how mean, MEAN women can be towards her! Really just blowed out like, she's a stupid bitch!!! Wow!! It's horrible, horrible things. I'm like why are you so... And i'm not quite sure where this comes from but just- She's not a democrat that's why all women should be democrats! Okay well that makes sense and so apparently although i'm not sure the everyone oh her prompter failed and she sucked it was like gobbledygook she's crazy!! Well let me go look this up then but actually play it out of sequence Nicole Wallace

2:12:30 was on Letterman. Nicole Wallace, she was... I think she was the communications director for the McCain-Palin team The Mavericks when they were running and this is when this really started When it was an interview Was it to Jane? Not Jane Pauley Whoever it was that said what newspapers did you read do you read every day And then Palin couldn't come up with an answer and then they highlighted that made her look like a an idiot very, very similar to James Dean. Howard Dean with the scream and that just killed his chances of being a presidential candidate forever. It was immediate moment. That's great. And so actually I wanted to play this out-of-order. I want to play Nicole Wallace first because she is on Letterman. I guess she is there purely just tell everybody wow you know Sarah Palin really stupid and I had no way... Letterman was all in on Sarah Palin stupidity. Oh yeah which it's just

2:13:30 So I'm not quite sure why she was on, but she was there to say well you know I was in charge of that and... I think the message is kind of she's so stupid that i couldn't even handle it. Let me ask you this at the time when she, uh... I guess she announced her he introduced her in Ohio and then and then she made that speech at the Republican convention right now after that speech people really sat up and thought oh well they've really done themselves a huge favor here in selecting the governor from Alaska why didn't that last? Why did not work that our politics and I think look President Obama is an example of this you have to have you have to check all the boxes right she was able to excite us but she wasn't able to prove that she had the experience for the job. And she gave a speech this weekend in Iowa where again on full display were all the gaps in her knowledge, and that's what became obvious not just to the public but to us! That was sort of chilling. I love that to us? What the elites of the world

2:14:30 or what are you and there's the other douchebag consultants? That was sort of chilling. I think the first one was when she was interviewed by Katie Couric and it was a question seemingly not that, not insurmountable What newspapers do you read? Yeah yeah she blamed me for that one You know Now should you have prepped her on something like that Probably So you would have said, now they may ask you what newspapers you read so have two or three in mind. That's what you would've done? I should've yeah...I mean she was right to blame us! She was not handled in a way that showcased her strengths after that convention speech. So I think she had every right to blame her handlers it's just as someone who worked in politics for over a decade I'd never encountered somebody like her. Right.

2:15:29 Stupid cunt! It makes me mad to hear these things. So here is the 50 seconds of what everyone says, she just gaps in her knowledge lost it and by the way when our president teleprompter goes out fire in the house. It must change things must change for this cover our government look at it And by the way her voice is annoying It isn't too big to fail. Her voice is outrageously annoying and you'd think they'd EQ her or something Or just tell her to quit screeching Yeah, you can teach yourself But now she's in panic mode I guess because of her speech is off the teleprompter Our government look at it! It isn't too big to fail...it's too big to succeed

2:16:20 No retreads or nothing will change with the same people and same policies that got us into this status quo, another Latin word status quo. And it stands for man the middle class everyday Americans are really getting taken for a ride. That's status quo and GOP leaders by the way You know the man can only ride you when your back is bent That was my favorite line, but American won't be taking for a ride because so much is at stake and we can't afford Politicians playing games like nothing more. Is that state then? Oh maybe just the next standing of theirs in the next election

2:17:07 Okay, well first of all let me say something here. This was not a story I paid much attention to but she was sabotaged! Of course she was! It's pretty crazy but it's not like she is insane Well, a couple of things that she should have done or should have learned by now and it's I mean when i was doing the teleprompter reading for four or five years at tech tv daily so i got pretty good at it but you have all these different things happen that you it's always something new and right so you're going along reading and off the prompter and then dead

2:17:46 Mm-hmm. No prompter mm-hmm And so you grab you always have this your prompter script is written on blue paper Go straight down to your paper, and then you go down your paper but If you don't really have any experience making that transition, you'll make a mess. I mean it's just horrible. I've screwed it up so bad it was ridiculous but after screwing it up, I had a prompt or fail after that and had no problem because I didn't panic because I expected it to happen again and it did like about a year later and I went right down to the sheets and started reading the sheets right on time if you watch a professional which

2:18:27 Don't do this or it didn't do this a professional like you're being professional like touring no I'm pretty any yeah, I'd like to ring if Professional talking head newsreader. Yeah, they will flip the pages Oh yeah on the script on their desk as they read from the prompt yes And then glance down once upon that flip is so there'll be so if the prompter fails They go right into the paper and due to the right page, and that is a pro. She has none of these skills and she can barely read from the prompter without screeching so as she was set up it would be easy to do you can also drop words into their script and have them read out. That's also fun yeah but anyway I just find it always annoyed me I would not vote for this woman I think she's extremely annoying but even more annoying

CHAPTER 27 / 31 Discussion

Obama Visit to India, Military Modernization Sales

President Obama's trip to India is framed as a high-level sales mission to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi's military modernization efforts. The "peace through strength" doctrine adopted by Modi involves significant technological and weaponry upgrades. The segment notes that Obama is acting as a "top sales guy" to compete with Russian influence in the region.

barack obama· narendra modi· india· military sales· peace through strength

2:19:17 is just how women in particular shit on her. I don't know, but yeah, I think your point is valid because she's not a Democrat! There you go end of story. Just that simple? Yeah It's like the black guys who aren't Democrats they make their lives miserable too. So Obama went to India Yes now when I heard that he was shortening his trip to pay homage to the dead Saudi royal I thought immediately, ah there goes our chances and you had predicted that something bad might happen. But i would say the security was quite amped up and mentioned as such when he went to India

2:20:02 Yeah, and I finally figure out what he's doing there. And this is nice... That was pretty obvious once I saw the CEO roundtable or whatever it was called. Yes well here's kind of a good summary. I think it kind of tells where the real action is. This is Modi and Obama together for sales? That's one of the central takeaways from this visit As you know, Narendra Modi has been elected essentially as a modernizer. And there are two aspects to that modernization—one of course is to modernize the Indian economy. He was—he campaigned on a platform suggesting that he's going to restore high growth. So that's his number one priority by a long distance. But part of that modernization also is military modernization. He believes that India needs a strong—he needs a strong military. He believes in a kind of Indian version of peace through strength.

2:20:51 That means that India is going to need is that what Gandhi said peace through strength so we can get some weapons or whatever He literally this guy said this the it's the Indian. It's the Indian way We're peaceful through strength with big-ass guns he believes in a kind of Indian version of peace through strength and That means that India is going to need great technological upgrades It's what I need to do but spend a lot of money and to get a lot of things right because it drifted over the last 10 years under the previous government and There is no country except for the United States that can help, India Fulfill more these ambitions on if you look at the scale of those ambitions kind of puts Pakistan on notice there Cha-ching Wow

2:21:37 That is a... So I congratulate Obama for doing that. Yeah, it's his salesman. Of course that what he does. He's supposed to do sales. Yeah and he did. Somebody complained when we rolled out the Russian deal that was done with Putin visiting and he sold like 25 nuclear facilities and a bunch of military stuff that they already have, you know. I think choppers and some other things." And somebody wrote in, oh you know, I don't understand why they don't buy from America? So well they didn't... The Russians sent their number one sales guy Putin over there to do the deal and Obama hasn't gone over there then he goes over there. And guess what people like that! They like it when the boss comes over for the sales

CHAPTER 28 / 31 Discussion

White House Drone Incident, Regulatory Steering Committee

A small quadcopter drone crash on the White House lawn leads to a security lockdown and the formation of a new regulatory steering committee. The operator was identified as an employee of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency. President Obama uses the incident to discuss the need for a regulatory structure for drone technology and privacy.

white house· drone crash· quadcopter· faa· national geospatial intelligence agency

2:22:17 Yeah, he's just like the top sales guy. You know what these low-end guys are? Just some douche going over there That's how you're supposed to do it Meanwhile I believe while he was gone There was this horrible incident Oh wait a minute! Win, lose or drone! That's right everybody It's time once again for the reality show that drives to drone you why you could even be president and get droned It's time for... Win, Lose Or Drone Yeah, John! Who do we have as our candidate today? I have two contestants. They're contrary views of this. One is from PBS and that's the quadcopter into lockdown and then we play the Russian Today angle after that. Okay so this is number one. Number one is the PBS angle

2:23:06 Back in Washington a small drone crashed onto the White House grounds early today. The Secret Service released a photo of it and said a man was flying it for recreation but lost control. The pre-dawn incident triggered an emergency lockdown of the White House complex Now the RT version. Well, the Secret Service is investigating after a small drone crashed on the White House lawn early this morning as you can imagine that action alone triggered a major emergency response President Obama is in India today and he was not at home when that drone breached the White House grounds around 3am

2:23:44 Secret Service spokesman Brian Larry said officials were working to identify any suspects and determine what the motive might have been. So let's talk about that drone, this particular drone one of those two foot long quadcopters you've seen these before they're sold in stores all over the country many times they do have a small HD camera attached like the one in the picture here they are essentially toys right Yeah, toys. So throw a Lego over the fence and they'll shut down the attack of the Legos! I think that would be pretty more accurate description what happened. A toy landed on a lawn and locked down the whole place. Well... Let's do a little more than that And the President is not even there! What did the president do when this happened?

2:24:32 What did he do? Here he is. I've actually asked the FAA and a number of agencies to examine how are we managing this new technology Let me think, We have meetings on Monday and then we decide who were going to kill And then we fly a drone! I have two words for you Predator drones That's what we do with this technology Because the drone that landed in the White House You buy at Radio Shack Mmm...you better hurry up Because RadioShack gonna close them doors, so you better hurry up if you're going to buy there. You know that there are companies like Amazon that are talking about using small drones to deliver packages Wow

2:25:15 Is the President of the United States actually propagating that crap? Apparently. People, this is not going to happen in our lifetime. Amazon's been delivering packages with drones... It's just science fiction crap! There are incredibly useful functions that these drones can play in terms of- Yeah killing people Yeah, you know farmers who are all farmers managing. Oh you mean like spying on farmers to see if they're the cows are theirs yeah that That's what we've done with this useful technology and what else have you killing people crops and yes it protect the poppy crops You know he's struggling of shit What can I do? What can I say? I don't want to say I don't want to say killing people It's very useful these drones for a crops and conservationists who want to kill people

2:26:07 take stock of rabbits, bunnies, wildlife. So there are a whole range of things we can do with it. I mean this technology is great! But we don't really have any kind of regulatory structure at all for it. So I've assigned some of the relevant agencies a steering committee to start talking to stakeholders stakeholders and figures Cook that meat pulled pork throughout how We're gonna put an architecture in place that make sure that these things aren't dangerous And they're not violating people's privacy Very funny unless is the government

2:26:47 In some ways, Farid this is similar to what's happened in cyberspace. These technologies that we're developing had the capacity to empower individuals in ways that we couldn't even imagine 10-15 years ago." Wow! Meanwhile it turns out that this was... The employee or the person who flew this Was an employee of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency Yeah, I know. Isn't that funny? Now I'm calling set up. I think that's probably true and he comes out with all in all. Please let me tell you this technology to be used for good for taking stock of wildlife or killing people which is your favorite thing to do. So that to me was... And he immediately put together a steering committee okay fine That's what he does Fine so i'm listening the PBS News Hour

CHAPTER 29 / 31 Discussion

Koch Brothers PBS Ad, Image Rehabilitation

The Koch brothers are reportedly using "native advertising" on PBS to rehabilitate their public image. A segment on the PBS NewsHour featured a full commercial for Koch Industries, which the hosts find unusual for a news program. The discussion explores how the brothers are attempting to move away from their "puppeteer" caricature.

koch brothers· pbs· native advertising· koch industries· image branding

2:27:49 And they actually ran a Koch brother, there's one ad going around from the Koch brothers. Koch Brothers! They had some woman come on and discuss the Koch brothers and how much money they're gonna spend for their upcoming political election. Oh you mean when they buy the Senate? Well, yeah. Well they already bought the Senate and now they're gonna start buying locals whatever the case. Yeah. Gwen Ifill mentions that they also finance a lot of PBS stuff and then she gleefully says They're trying to change their image and plays an entire commercial I only have piece of it but you want to hear the way it's set up? I was stunned!

2:28:29 I think that the Koch brothers asked for some native advertising and got it. Democrats have really tried to vilify them and create this kind of caricature of puppeteers pulling the strings between the Republican Party We've seen actually both Charles and David Koch, and their company Koch Industries engage more in the public eye And where there's actually ad campaign now touting Koch Which we can show! Let's take a look at it Always see our name on the products you use but we help make better food clothing shelter technologies and other necessities Here we build on each other's ideas I've seen this commercial. I've seen it too. They have seen it around shows a bunch of people smiling Why would they do? I mean this thing is aired everywhere why would the end did they roll the whole thing though? They rolled the entire ad Wow less than 10 minutes to go

2:29:21 Less than 10 minutes to go. You gotta hurry up here exactly Well, I was when I first had this report I was clipping it out and I thought to myself as I was making the clips Why did they run the whole ad you could run just a chunk of it or just talk about it? Right? You're on PBS Why would you run the whole ad unless this was a setup and they act like it's like a world planetary? Video premiere of a Michael Jackson video is like yeah, we've seen this. This is nothing new I know which is that was stunned stunned. Yeah, no I understand That's very interesting hmm let me see Error wins being promoted yeah The couple things but only want to do one since we only have ten more minutes this is

CHAPTER 30 / 31 Discussion

Candy Crowley Obama Interview, Putin Chess Master

In one of her final interviews for CNN, Candy Crowley questions President Obama on whether he is being "rolled" by foreign leaders like Vladimir Putin. Obama defends his record, citing the collapse of the Russian currency as evidence that Putin is not a "chess master" outmaneuvering the West. The hosts analyze Obama's use of the third person during the exchange.

candy crowley· barack obama· vladimir putin· cnn· cuba

2:30:16 This was out of character, I thought. Is Candy now gone from CNN? Yes she's fired or maybe quit. Well do we know... because one of the last things she did was this interview with President Obama and I left her question in here It's about Putin. No, it's not even about Putin—it's about… Well you'll hear what it is about. But Obama's answer I think needs to be analyzed by us we are the appropriate gentleman to do that. So let me move you on to the other big story that we've had and that is your reach out or Cuba has reached to you and your reach to Cuba listening to the critics part of this as they wrap it up in how you dealt with other sort of bad actors

2:31:05 Oh, this is what he's done. He has accommodated Syria by not crossing the red line. He has accommodated Iran by talking to them on nuclear weapons and sort of down the line Russia. He's allowed Putin to move in and take Crimea." And here is the gist of it. The gist of it is that you're naive and they are rolling you. They are rolling you? This now for Candy Crowley to use this term I found interesting Yeah, it is interesting. They're rolling you I mean what is she gangster now or? She yeah It's like this and I don't even it says such a street our gut is such jargon there are real words

2:31:47 for they're fooling you or they're tricking you, something that's actually more explanatory than they are rolling you. 20 years ago if you get rolled that means you got robbed. And I'm not sure that rolling you is actually a street term that is au courant I don't think it is. Let's find out, you were playing the rest of that clip and i'm going to go to whatever that urban dictionary Yeah so this was said about Mr Putin for example three or four months ago there was a spate of stories about how he was the chess master and out maneuvering the west and out maneuvering mr obama and this and then the other Okay now what he just said there He's the chess master

2:32:35 out maneuvering Mr. Obama and this, that and the other Wow! He speaks of himself in the third person... ...and then actually pulls out the this, that and the other And if you look at his facial expression it was telling I feel whenever someone uses that in their own context of themselves This That & The Other Something is bothering them or they're lying Or there's some emotional thing happening when you use this, that & the other Would you agree or am I off base here? I don't think you're off base. This, that and the other... And then talking about himself in the third person? That's screwy! Who does that? Football players. Psychos. There is a spate of stories about how he was the chess master and outmaneuvering the West and out maneuvering Mr Obama and this and then the other. Right now he is presiding over the collapse of his currency, major financial crisis and huge economic contraction

2:33:37 That doesn't sound like somebody who has rolled me or the United States of America. He has not... Well, go on and just get that in there. So here he is does not look like someone who's rolled me and then when I heard this I'm like oh! That's how we roll. Maybe that's what it's about? Like because he's using that's how we roll He rolled me. I don't he didn't roll me that's how we roll We roll, I know no it's this there's about there's about 20 definitions so far on rolling in urban dictionary and they all Refer to being high on ecstasy Well it's all Really? Yeah That's the main use of that word hmm And I'm still going and it's still another one. There's another one hmm. That's interesting

2:34:33 Now, Roland here's another one from 2010 which is throwing toilet paper on someone's house apparently. I found it to be extremely defensive the whole thing was strange and it was scripted I guess? Why else would you use this role word? I just have to question... I can't find any evidence that she's using it right now the other thing is she quit in December and there's she does not work at any place else so looks like she just retired But there's no rational, there is no explanation as to why she quit. I'm sure it was in a trade somewhere. Sketchy, sketchy, sketchy Maybe it was for this interview? Could be

CHAPTER 31 / 31 Discussion

Auschwitz 70th Anniversary, Red Army Liberation

The 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz is marked by the controversial decision not to formally invite Vladimir Putin. Despite the Red Army being the force that liberated the camp, Polish officials were wary of the political optics due to the Ukraine crisis. The segment concludes with a sign-off and a preview of upcoming topics for the Sunday show.

auschwitz· vladimir putin· red army· poland· holocaust survivors

2:35:17 Alright, that's a... Seriously John? If we want to keep to your mantra then you gotta close it. Well first I wanna play the Auschwitz clip so we can get that out of the way this is the Auschwitz had its 70th anniversary and even though most people don't realize this like i think they discuss in the newsletter It was the Russian army, The Red Army that liberated Auschwitz. It wasn't Americans And guess what Putin was not invited. And Putin was not invited, it irked a number of the still living Auschwitz survivors. Warsaw did not formally extend an invitation to the Russian president Vladimir Putin to attend and The feeling on the ground according to various sources is this is because it was wary of political consequences Of doing so in light of the Ukrainian crisis

2:36:01 However, Holocaust survivors have been particularly critical of this pointing out that it was after all the Red Army that liberated this camp Auschwitz-Birkenau some 70 years ago. The Russians liberated the camp The Russians liberated the camp, not the Americans and the Russians. And it makes sense that people of the government—if not Putin—is to be there. It's obvious. The decision by the Polish government not to invite the Russian president to this ceremony marking 70 years since the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp is a scandal. How can you fail to invite the leader of a country that fought against Nazi Germany

2:36:49 and liberated Auschwitz. Organizers, however are urging that the focus today should not be on politics pointing out that this is possibly going to be the last large gathering of Auschwitz survivors Yeah I followed this with some interest um and uh i don't know it also still somehow put Poland in a strange light and... Yeah, Poland is always getting screwed in these deals. And I'm hearing that the Poles are worried that then the NATO friends may kind of leave them in the lurch and you know hey Russia could invade us. Because they will! Oh yeah oh yeah. For some reason I'm not sure why but I connected this to the history of Manchuria and the Mukden incident. I'm not sure exactly why did that which hmm

2:37:44 I think maybe it was in oh, okay. Yes It's kind of a I'll do it Sunday It's kind of a long way around that I need your help on it and Okay, it could go nowhere So I'd hate for that to be the last impression if we sleep on the show And I have tech news which will also have to do on on Sunday But I got some Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday all right well We're gonna try your system John and see if this helps by cutting out early 10 minutes Less than 10 minutes to go.
