About this episode

Hillary Clinton faces intense scrutiny over the clintonemail.com private server as technical analysis reveals her communications were routed through MX Logic rather than a secure government facility. While State Department spokesperson Marie Harf defends the practice, the timing coincides with General David Petraeus reaching a plea deal for mishandling classified records. This convergence of scandals suggests a strategic distraction from billions in foreign donations flowing into the Clinton Global Initiative from Algeria and Saudi Arabia.

International tensions escalate as U.S. Ambassador Mark Lippert survives a razor blade attack in Seoul while Victoria Nuland testifies on the billion-dollar influence of Ihar Kolomajewski in Ukraine. In the Middle East, Benjamin Netanyahu warns Congress about Iranian threats via Twitter, and Syrian rebels armed with U.S. TOW missiles reportedly defect to Al-Qaeda-aligned Jabhat al-Nusra. Domestically, EPA Director Gina McCarthy struggles to provide Senator Jeff Sessions with climate data, and the FCC faces legal challenges over Net Neutrality following a Supreme Court precedent involving agency overreach.

Technical hurdles nearly derailed the broadcast after a Universal Audio Apollo software update caused a routing crisis, requiring a firmware downgrade to restore the live-to-tape production. The program celebrates the knighting of Sir Philip Smith and Sir Ralph Nelson while offering a definitive guide to preparing oatmeal with a salt and vanilla boil to prevent a pasty texture. Guests and listeners are encouraged to support long-time contributor Mr. Oil via GoFundMe as he battles a serious undiagnosed illness.

Podcast Award Nominations, Live-to-Tape Production Philosophy

The program opens with news of nominations for the Podcast Awards in the People's Choice and News/Politics categories. A comparison is made between the "live-to-tape" production style used here and the post-produced methods of shows like Serial, Radio Lab, and This Week in Tech with Leo Laporte. The difficulty of managing high-quality audio and Skype integration in a live environment is highlighted as a superior form of production.

00:00 This is right now. Adam Curry, John C. DeVorah It's Thursday March 5th 2015 time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 701! This is no agenda Fighting the crappy software industry coming to you live from FEMA region 6 in downtown Austin Tejas in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where I'm enjoying a mimosa made with blood orange juice. I'm John C Dvorak Are you drinking on the job? I am now

00:40 Okay, I think you're in fact. I was just about to do drugs and like this is the perfect day for all this We had a bad start very bad I think we need to tell talk about it because if you're in a video get in a very strange mood And I'm really angry so now are you just cussing like a truck driver? Well that's not on the recording I didn't do that So I have a pride myself even though now first let's step back The podcast award nominations are out. This show, the best podcast in the universe has been nominated for two One is as usual people's choice and we never win that It's hard to win that because they always have something like I think this time it's everyone's into cereal Not even a podcast Is cereal nominated? On tape! Is it nominated? Yeah, I think so No Really? Yes Take a look Ugh, will

01:34 We're nominated in the news politics category. And there you have Rushel, uh, Russell, Russell, Russell Limbaugh. Either way I think that should be her name, Russell Maydow. Yeah! I'm all in on that. Russell Maydow. Good one. Well, Russell Maydow's been nominated... And that's not even a podcast Russell made out. Oh, man you're right the serial podcast is people's choice so that's gonna win because Dumb things always winning thing it's trendy trending second one they even did you know I didn't do a second It's not even a podcast. It's trending. It's a podcast

02:15 Why is it not a podcast? Is it on the radio, no. It's on tape! It's a radio play. Look all I know is we got snubbed in the comedy category again if I was you...I know you like to use this as a running gag but if I were you yeah especially after the way you just began the show yeah how come you weren't nominated for best produced podcasts thank you this is exactly what I was going to say well I said at first now so but I pride myself on what we do here and making it sound good and making Skype sound relatively integrated with the local sound that I have, trying to make it all work. And the clips in the balance of levels you have probably... I would say that if anybody put your gear at all this plugins and all the crazy stuff you've got going there up against anybody's rig, you would be

03:08 They'll get the best producer. Yes, exactly Well, that's what I said But do you give me credit for this for this accolade? Oh more importantly Do I get credit by being nominated and best produced know the Joe Rogan experience? I like Joe but what it was What so hard about miking some people up? Radio lab which will win because hey they edited the crap out of that its unlistenable Yeah, editing is not... I know. There's two theories of course of producing there's post-producing your product or live to tape and i think what we do live to tape but i don't think anyone does it the way we do it

03:52 Even Leo doesn't do live. I mean, Leo does kind of half the show most of the show live to tape and then they post it right? They posted the end The beginning of the show is posted that beginning of leela ports twit is Posted in another words what we see where I would I'm sorry when I say post that I mean post produced mean Produced after the shows over you sit down and then you fiddle with this show And fiddle with this show and your fiddle with the show about fiddle about he's gonna fiddle abou In the case of Leo's show, he does all his lead-ins and all the rest at the end. And then they have to go into some edit booth and they have to edit it in video and audio so it makes it even more complicated.

04:38 The other theory of doing these, and you see it's actually done in some ways on some like the three camera shoot comedy shows as opposed to the one camera ones which are most of them nowadays with them. And then they post a whole thing because you have to. It's all edited is a different style of producing. To me pure production do absolute best way to do it if you can and it's also the hardest is to live-to tape it. In other words, you start the show... You do everything on the fly. You don't edit stuff in and out and then make it look fancy after the fact takes hours and it's a waste of time And this slightly amateurish in some sense Right To do it the way YOU DO IT We're doing the work of four men actually on this show

CHAPTER 02 / 38 Discussion

Universal Audio Apollo Software Update Technical Failures

A detailed account of a technical failure involving the Universal Audio Apollo Twin audio interface follows a software update. Despite rules against installing updates before a show, the installer began modifying drivers automatically after a Firefox download. The resulting interface changes and routing issues caused a significant delay in the broadcast, eventually requiring a firmware downgrade to restore functionality.

universal audio· apollo twin· software update· firefox· firmware· driver issues

05:26 Yeah, we don't have an engineer. We're actually doing the work at three. I'm chewing the other one guy alright so anyway to finalize this story i use the universal audio Apollo twin device then it's taken me years to get this perfect so that i can use the same setup a mobile as well as at home and really really worked very hard on this they come out with the software upgrade they sell their plugins and that's their whole business and i really like what they've done zero latency plug-ins But they come out with something everyone's been waiting for, the new console. Which is the whole software that drives the device and that I have integrated into my system They say oh it's a new version Everyone's excited, even tweeted! I'm excited this is great because we've been looking...waiting for this but as I know you never ever EVER install software before you do a show or before you go on a trip and I have both coming up So when I downloaded the update Firefox in all its wisdom

06:24 opened up the package, install- the install package and I got a nice dialogue that said do you want to install? Like no. No i do not. I don't know what it is isn't never do this It's one of the rules like your rule of travel Do not eat sushi before you take a trip Sushi any kind of seafood Yeah shrimp is another one Don't take a chance Now these are very good rules to live by It also goes along with don't marry an actress. Oh gee, I... Don't actually... So I don't... That was a mistake! I don't listen to everything. Don't marry a musician. These are all rules of the road. What else do we have? We need a list. We should write this list up

07:12 Oh man. But yes, do not... and I do the same thing when I get to start this machine up to do this show. I get a bunch of, hey upgrade this, upgrade that! And then say no to all of it By the way an interesting variant in the chat room never eat shrimp before you have sex with someone? I think thats very valid Or garlic for that matter So I plug everything in, and I'm getting ready to go. And you know, usually do this before the pre-stream... ...I want to play a couple songs but have my routine and nothing it won't run on my Mac The software won't recognize the device Turns out they're trying to make this real story because we've were delayed by now or because of this bull crap When the installer opens up it is already messing with your drivers even though you've given it no instruction to do anything

08:02 So I wound up with, you know...I tried to install the old software. It wouldn't then I installed and then I did the upgrade and everything was different of course the interface was different but i couldn't get all the different sends to work properly and even that they did they even change the font of the words on the interface into some like semi-cursive script. Oh god! Like an engineer would put a strip down on the mixer and write with Sharpie what each channel strip is... Right. Okay, so that's the level. You also said they changed the meters? Everything though! Why did you change the meters?! I think they did a lot of good things but yeah i need time to work on and figure out the software So eventually... I find out that after installing rebooting and then saying please install the old software luckily still have your package it downgraded the firmware on the device That was actually pretty sexy Even Apple doesn't get that right

09:04 I was impressed. And then it came back up and it worked, because when we were listening to the new interface there was all kinds of crap wrong and it's very hard to troubleshoot that under stress what I'd then tend to do is I start to cuss And you then start to play harmonica, which really exacerbates the whole situation. I did- I started! I only played like five notes and then... And I went... Do not under any circumstances play that instrument!! I finally got in and said why am i even on? What is it just go away go do your own thing. You don't want your hangout. Because I need you because you're the one saying oh doesn't sound good Well didn't No but I need feedback

09:50 And then it's like helping the stewardess land the 747 through the aircraft radio. In the chat room not very helpful. Hey sounds good sounds fuzzy sounds teeny sounds like Howard Stern these are not helpful things people this is Why are you reading the chat room chit chatter while you're trying to trouble because maybe someone I hope Every single time, I hope that maybe someone will be in the chatroom and we'll know what they're talking about I'm surprised You're not religious waiting for Christ to return Oh by the way let's start it off right there Let's started off right do you know this guy? Cal Thomas Oh yeah. I'd never heard of him, maybe had heard of him... I don't know he's- I guess he writes for USA Today? He's been around forever! Okay so i had not heard of him, I'm glad you have. He writes for USA Today and of course there is a um uh there's uh there's a supreme- it's a Supreme Court case about same sex marriage that is now taking place

CHAPTER 03 / 38 Discussion

Cal Thomas, Same-Sex Marriage Prophecy Claims

Columnist Cal Thomas commented on the pending Supreme Court case regarding same-sex marriage and the judicial resistance in Alabama. Thomas asserted that societal shifts toward gay marriage are reflections of decadence forecasted in the Book of Daniel and the New Testament. He stated that these events indicate the world is "right on schedule" for biblical end-times prophecies.

cal thomas· supreme court· same-sex marriage· alabama· book of daniel· prophecy

10:49 in the United States? Yes. And he was asked about it by, sounds like... Well actually I think it's been mostly resolved. There are some votes still that we're waiting on. The big deal is because apparently somebody in Alabama their Supreme Court says ah we're not doing And so the judges got them all confused down in Alabama. Oh, we're gonna do it? No, we're not going to do it I'm not gonna do it. All right guys So they did their Supreme Court in Alabama. I believe this is the way when I could be wrong with the chronology said that forget it just What I don't have to go ahead but where don't have an official judicial term by the way bet Matt batman So Cal Thomas was asked by a believer gay reporter

11:28 what he thought about how the vote would go. And he said something very interesting, which I feel is worth or at least worth noting as it is about religious beliefs and I thought it was pretty interesting to hear what he had to say. In favor of same-sex marriage... All of these things are not the cause of our decadence, they're a reflection on it. As I said in my remarks we worship the golden calf of the Dow Jones Industrials In Dow we trust not in God Too many conservative Christian marriages are breaking up So if they can't impose morality on themselves how do they expect to impose it on the rest of the country? But if you read the scriptures, as I do in both testaments all of these things are forecasted in prophecies. The book of Daniel and what Jesus and Paul said so I'm not worried about it. I say everything is right on schedule." Now...I love this! Everything's right on schedule? You don't have time and date in the book of Daniel, I can tell you right now. "...I'm trying to shore up my own family first and hopefully that will be an example for other people..." When you say right on schedule

12:32 Gay marriage on some level was prophesied and there will be some further outcome or... I think the reporter's asking a good question. He's saying, oh it is very good question. Gay marriages prophesized somehow? Most guys would be like me they'd roll their eyes and walk away And i like what he was asking the answer was interesting. A response to it Well, yeah. I mean if you look at what not only Jesus said but Paul the Apostle about what things were going to be like in the end times people will be lovers of lies rather than the truth they will elevate things that are called abominations and scripture to normality this is hard for people who don't believe in scripture and haven't been transformed by the renewing of their minds ah that's my problem

13:16 I've not been transformed by the renewing of my mind. But it's all there for people to read it, It's all coming true All of the prophecies up until the final ones have come true and that is why everything is right on schedule For the end times! For the apocalypse! End times... These end time guys bother me This is great We're right on time Everyone's crazy Yeah we are all going to die No, everyone's gonna die from global warming which they don't believe in the This really bothers me. We've had very bad weather in Texas, certainly in Austin and yesterday it was everywhere they were interrupting the television news we had banners every school district has to close everything everybody must stay home Why do school districts have to close? All school districts are closed until at least noon some two o'clock or closed altogether because of the pending ice storm

CHAPTER 04 / 38 Discussion

Texas Weather Forecasting Failures, Economic Impact

An anticipated ice storm in Austin, Texas, failed to materialize despite widespread school closures and emergency banners on television. Although temperatures remained above freezing at 35-36 degrees, the city was effectively shut down based on faulty 24-hour models. The lack of accountability for the economic damage caused by these incorrect forecasts is questioned.

austin· texas· weather forecast· ice storm· school closures· economic damage

14:16 So everyone's like, oh a bunch of weenies. It was raining yesterday and the idea was that around midnight it would start to freeze and then it would be pandemonium! Oh because people don't know what to do Yeah, well it's like California in that respect. So okay I kept watching the temperature and it was around midnight it was 36. It's too high to freeze! And around 1am it was 36 then around 2 when I went to bed it was about 35 So the ice storm never came, but all the kids had to stay home and then parents can't go to work. The economic damages by this... And people can be wrong with your weather forecasting but someone has to account at a certain point and we have to say hey you know was your model off? How could you be so wrong? We had this someone calls the shots, someone says it's time to shut everything down and it didn't happen how can this be unaccountable

15:20 And this was just a 24-hour prediction. Yeah, and we haven't had... What about these models that tell us what the weather's gonna be like in 100 years? Well there's that. There's that. Well since you bring that up oh my goodness Gina McCarthy who is the new director of the EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency and I want to talk about them later as it relates to net neutrality packet equality Because there were some precedents their jurisprudence or whatever it's called I don't want to change that. I don't want to take you too far off track But did you see the Netflix reaction to what the FCC did? Oh, yeah? Yeah, well hold that hold up because then we're going right into what you just said

CHAPTER 05 / 38 Discussion

EPA Director Gina McCarthy, Senate Climate Change Testimony

EPA Director Gina McCarthy testified before Senator Jeff Sessions regarding a requested 6% budget increase for the Environmental Protection Agency. Sessions challenged McCarthy on global data regarding droughts and hurricanes, citing IPCC reports that suggest a reduction in extreme weather events. McCarthy was unable to provide specific data on whether global temperatures are currently tracking above or below the agency's climate models.

gina mccarthy· epa· jeff sessions· ipcc· climate change· carbon dioxide

16:02 And so she was up there talking about getting more money for the EPA, 6% increase. Oh, why? Oh interestingly I don't know if I have that in my clip She said because the president has put together a budget where he is not going for sequestration Which, as we know on this show sequestration is the increase in spending not taking spending away. It's the increase. It's reducing the increase when it's in place right? Reducing the increase so she said... You have your old numbers you got your old numbers yeah. Exactly! So she's saying I want six percent more and Senator Sessions

16:45 dragged her across the room. Good for him, I like that. You gotta listen to this. This was one of the...I felt represented. Where is he from? What state is he from? Alabama, I think. Well, I should move there. We've had fewer droughts in recent years do you dispute that? I don't know what in what context he's making statements like. So, he... What Sessions was doing was saying hey you want this increase but what's going on? And setting her up and does it so beautifully. So we said some professor says we have fewer droughts in the past 10 years than ever had before and now she is caught a little bit off guard. But I certainly can tell you about the droughts that are happening today No no no! You cant..I'm not arguing to you today that your wrong about global warming because we have a cold spell

17:33 I'm asking you what are the data, don't you know worldwide data about whether or not we're having fewer or less droughts? I'd be happy to provide it but I certainly am aware that droughts are becoming more extreme and frequent. Are you aware that IPCC has found that moisture content of the soil is in anything slightly greater than it has been over the last decade. He sounds like he's drunk, but I think what he said is that moisture content of the soil is higher than it has been. So apparently we have not had droughts worldwide? It's in their report are you aware of that?

18:10 I don't know what you're referring to, Senator. But i'm happy to respond and... Well you need to know because you're asking this economy to sustain tremendous costs and you don't know whether or not the soil is worldwide it's more moist or less moist? Sir, I don't know where your cost figures are coming from but if you take a look at our... I'm quoting the IPCC Second What about hurricanes? Now this is something we've always been chuckling about Yeah, the hurricane thing is great We had more or less hurricanes in the last decade. It's a simple A or B question? There have been more frequent hurricanes and more intense in terms of landing those hurricanes on land I cannot answer that question it's a very complicated issue yeah not complicated on how many landed we've had dramatic reduction in the number you know gone a decade without a

18:58 Hurricane class 3 or above. But sir, the scientists are not really considering that number to be significant because this subset is so small that you're looking at...that you're taking issues in science out of context I love it! Okay there's the hole she stepped right into it and it's not my job Can you-are you asserting that uh..you have evidence? That we have a greater hurricane around the world's last decade than the previous day. I am asserting that i have plenty of evidence, factual evidence from scientists who know this issue climate change is happening it's real its happening now. Of course the climate is changing Ms McCarthy! I just ask you use have been saying so we have more storms will you submit

19:46 within a few days it shouldn't take long. I'm happy to submit all the science that we've had more storms in the last decade... When you say we, what are we talking about? The world! U.S.? The world! I am happy to submit on the full breadth of science that we have behind climate. We submitted in many occasions and will do again. Okay, do think he should like stick the dagger all the way in now? Does he? Climate change is real Here we go And would you acknowledge that the, over the last 18 years that the increase in temperature has been very little and it is well below matter of fact 90% below most of the environmental models. It showed how fast temperature would increase? This is a good question! This is finally a good question your model's are off this what we've always been saying

20:40 No, I would not agree with that sir. A one degree temperature is significant. I don't know what we're looking at here... Is it below the models or above the models? I do not know what the models actually are predicting that you're referring to there are many models and sometimes its actually going faster and sometimes slightly slower than the model predicts but on On the whole, it makes no difference to the validity and robustness of climate science that is telling us that we are facing an absolute challenge that we must address both environmentally, economically from a national security perspective. And for EPA from a public health perspective. All right well then because carbon pollution is CO2.

21:29 Alright, he's almost done. You know this guy is obviously a stooge for the oil companies and must be a Republican. Coke Brothers! What is he? Is he a Democrat? No, he's a Republican. Okay. He's totally Democrat. He'd be drummed out of the party. He's bought and paid for by The Coke Brothers! It's really not polluting it's all plant food. Carbon CO2 is a plant food It isn't plant food, I know! This is what's so beautiful about it. ...harm anybody except that it might include temperature increases but so let me ask you one more time... One more time? Are you asserting just give me this answer if you take the average of the models predicting how fast the temperature would increase

22:18 Or is the temperature in fact increasing less than that or more than that? I cannot answer that question specifically. Well, Mr Chairman, I just would say this is a stunning development that the head of Environmental Protection Agency who should know more than anybody else in the world who's imposing hundreds of billions of dollars in costs to prevent this climate and temperature increases doesn't know whether their projections have been right or wrong. Yeah, that's... thank you! That's the punchline. It took him a while. Stunning development like the way he does that stunning stunning I say stunning

22:57 Yeah, so I thought that was why didn't he just say who knew she was an idiot? No woman is a moron. Mr. Chairman now we can't why does she even have this job and uh You didn't do that no but i like this this is good came up short to me oh I think he did pretty well I was happy with it. I liked it Man, oh man. So yeah but it's the same thing it's okay if you want to warn us to stay off the roads but there is real economic impact a lot of parents were now stuck with their kids at home and couldn't get into work and it's not like you have to take time off for that It's not... You don't get a free day

CHAPTER 06 / 38 Discussion

International Women's Day, Presidential Proclamations

President Barack Obama issued a proclamation designating March as Women's History Month, noting that more women are now primary breadwinners. The timing of the proclamation is linked to International Women's Day on March 8th. The discussion briefly touches on the global status of women, including a cynical remark regarding Saudi Arabia.

barack obama· women's history month· international women's day· saudi arabia· march 8

23:40 Well, usually the dad will go to work. Mom gets stuck she has to take the day off and it hurts her career And yeah that's why there is inequality in pay There you go Yo, ay yo did you say ayo? No I said there ya go Oh I thought he said hey yo You're always looking for hip hop terminology to be thrown into this show We have a uh Keep it hip Right Just trying just trying to keep it hip We have a couple of it's a new month, and I didn't do this on Sunday New month yeah well you know what happens in the new month the president is always proclaiming things. Oh yes That's right. You didn't do it on Sunday. Yeah we have It is women's history month

24:22 for some reason. Isn't there... isn't this Sunday Women's Day, International Female Day? Let me see throughout history extraordinary women courageous This is Woman's Month yeah Today more women are the family's main breadwinner Yeah girl power We know that when women succeed America succeeds therefore I President Barack Obama you're right March 8th is Women's day Yeah International Women's Day It says International Women's Day with the pro... Yeah, so they're right. So everyone in Saudi Arabia has to stop beating their wife for one day just for a day? However in America it's women's history month which I think he just threw in there because why didn't you do it on on he didn't put this out this came out the 2nd of March. I think it was a I think they forgot that oh crap is international women's day we gotta do a month or what they were going to do it on the first as a holiday are not a holiday Sunday but but I'm saying

CHAPTER 07 / 38 Discussion

National Consumer Protection Week, Data Privacy Bill

The White House introduced a proposed Consumer Bill of Rights to coincide with National Consumer Protection Week. The proposal focuses on how companies retain and share consumer data, though critics argue it functions more as a cyber-sharing agreement than a protection against financial scams. A personal anecdote regarding poor service at Capital One serves as a counterpoint to the focus on data privacy.

25:19 You nominate a month before the month starts or on the day of the month. Oh, you do? I don't know this. Well that's how it usually works but there is also now this one was definitely planted that is National Consumer Protection Week which is... That was just thrown in there! What does even mean?! I'll tell you why! You can't gouge your customers this week! No. What does that mean!? I will tell you why we need a PR moment I had this on 700, we didn't get to it. For Elizabeth Warren? You need a PR moment to roll out your Consumer Bill of Rights proposal which is something they put this out on Friday Who's they? The White House the administration put out their...I'm looking for it now The Consumer Bill of Rights and its a proposed bill about what

26:15 companies can do with your data, specifically... I don't care what they do with my data. I don't want to get ripped off! Right? I don't wanna get scammed by high interest rates. So I wanna get scammed like that experience you had with the Bank One or Capital One or whatever the name of that bank is. What is it? Uh, Capital One. What's in your wallet? Yeah, those guys. That story you told was hair-raising. Yeah, that's what consumer protection is all about. It's not about oh your data or they've lost your credit card even if they do this I'm sorry we lost your credit card data well we can't be some hacker came in so what kind of protections though? Oh i see what you're saying let it stop me. It's actually more about how long they can retain your data and who they can share it with

27:02 All they have to do is put it in the disclaimer at the beginning when you sign on to their website. It says, by signing onto this website, you have agreed too and then put it all in there. You're protected." Of course they're protected because what they've put in... But this really about the cyber sharing agreement and so they bring out a National Consumer Protection Week to celebrate so we can have cake and roll out the proposal. And finally, and this is tough one for me, this is National Cold Orectal Cancer Awareness Month And I have a real problem with this. I'm very worried because now, I'm 50 and you're supposed to go get your... You're supposed to get checked for ass cancer. Okay, go get checked! Have you been checked? Years ago

CHAPTER 08 / 38 Discussion

Colorectal Cancer Awareness, Hospital Safety Concerns

National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month prompts a discussion on the risks and benefits of preventative screenings like colonoscopies. Concerns are raised regarding hospital-acquired infections such as MRSA and the "dark ages" of modern medicine. Reference is made to Warren Buffet's reported skepticism of certain medical interventions for the elderly.

27:48 I, because everything i hear is like oh and then they found something and then you know they had to cure me. And my dick never worked again. And I have to wear a diaper this is...and I feel fine! So I know lot of guys who've gone through this it's not okay well don't do it then yeah that's what optional and I know the elites like Warren Buffet he comes right on says I'm not gonna do that because I am old enough I want to die from the cure Oh yeah, no. The hospital is dangerous. And then I hear that... No matter what anybody wants to believe we're still living in the dark ages of medicine Hey wait a minute! Are you anti-science? What's going on with you?! You can't talk like that man. You can't talk like that. Yeah and then I hear about... Can't go into a hospital not get MRSA or some other crazy thing from the hospital Come on

28:45 And that was this new thing, this new crazy disease that nobody can cure and where you get it mostly is from the hospital. The real irony of the MERS is now you can get it from the gym! I want to be healthy just like the guys who want to be healthy so they bike a lot and then they run down Well, what happened to you bill is that I said the crutches got a broken leg his foot's missing. Well there's that I got run over by a truck while bicycling Okay, but also apparently a bit candidate for bladder cancer well If I don't know how you can become a candidate I mean Yeah, they fill out a petitioners nice because my mother died of cancer if you have cancer in the family mmm

29:29 And this was always my problem, because my mom's quit smoking at 50. These are smokers we're dealing with here if you were a smoker I'd be more concerned let me finish what i'm saying she quit smoking and a year later she got lung cancer Well, you got two years. You were smoking. The joke was of course to point out that you're a smoker or were I was a smoker? It's not a joke. I'm smoking over a year ago. So yeah there has been two and half years. Yeah good as far as we know if i went to get checked oh Mr. Curry Not only do you have ass cancer but the lung cancer and bladder cancer eat a lot oatmeal oatmeal Yeah, oatmeal is the best thing for you. Okay. I'm on it. Creamshaw! I mean on the oatmeal. Your cholesterol... It's great stuff. That makes sense. On the oatmeal, I'm good with that And by the way, I want to explain it to people how they make oatmeal Here ya go How do you make oatmeal? I hate to do this but I do it all of time with you where I ask a question about how you cook something and then at the end of your explanation say thats completely wrong way to do it Right So here's how I make oatmeal One gets one packet of oatmeal

Culinary Technique, Perfect Oatmeal Preparation

A detailed instructional segment explains the proper way to prepare oatmeal to avoid a "pasty" texture. The technique involves boiling water with salt and vanilla before adding flat or cut oats to "seal" the flakes. This method ensures individual oat flakes remain separate rather than turning into mush, with butter and real maple syrup recommended as finishes.

30:31 Oh, okay. Mistake number one. One packet of oatmeal! Alright go ahead and tell us how to do it This is apparently you are using instant oatmeal or the quick oatmeal quick oats or whatever they are which I avoid Oats aplenty because those things just make it, that's mush. You're making mush and not making oatmeal. I'm making goop. I'm making paste really. Because that pasty...I mean its still the same thing probably is healthy but its like come on this isn't like, It doesn't take, its like rice why would you get instant rice when it takes so little time to actually make rice? And you don't have to tend it. Right. Oatmeal!

31:10 There's different ways of doing it. You can do cooking, there's different ways on packaging but the really great way to make a perfect oatmeal and this is of course just my perspective... Yes? Is first you start with let's say make one serving. You're going to have half cup of oats Now, let's talk about the ingredients. The oats... Half a cup of... Where do you get oats? Flattened oats. You can get them, they sell them everywhere. Let's be specific flattened oats. It is just regular oatmeal that you would get from Quaker. The Quaker style which is the flattened as opposed to cut oats which is slightly different if you want me to explain it. Yes that's important I mean your taking up time doing it might as well do it right

31:49 You take the flat oats and you put a half cup, and then you take a cup of water. You put the cup of water in a cooking device then you get the water... Oh hold on John! Hold on! Sorry my oatmeal is already ready And gooey. Oh it's paste but yeah It's paste? You just made a bunch of paste. You could also do some scrapbooking with that oatmeal Okay, all right. Onward keep it going keep it moving you put some vanilla and some salt in the boiling water You get the water boiling completely boiling So it's boiling like a like crazy then you dump the oats and stir them around real fast So the oats get a seal on each individual flake so they become separate but equal in the cooking process And then you boil them down you could put at this simmer Put a lid on it cook them for I don't know five ten minutes

32:38 You can add limited timings yourself and you can also turn it off at some point, just let it steam. And then you get an oatmeal that is more like the oats! It's like individual oat flakes cooked in a pan. It's so much better than the mush that is all gooey with all the mucilage and all the rest of it in there. And then you can put, I like to put butter in my oatmeal and some maple syrup real maple syrup. Super delicious citizen! Yeah its really nice Now do the same exact process with the cut oats only takes about 15 or 20 minutes Right And uh... it produces another product that

33:19 With the cut oats it produces, if the water's boiling before you put the oats in You get these...it becomes a different product completely and it comes out of there. It doesn't stick to the pan It's just a dynamite way to go All right so we shall write this up and put it as a... I'll write it up there with your chili We're gonna do John's oatmeal. It's important people like this! I get messages all the time People make new recipes When they try this technique which is boiling the water before you put the oats in Get it going well and then you would... they'll prefer these oats, it's better. Good. All right are we done? We good? Are we done? Yes I'm sorry. This program besides caring about how it sounds beside giving you valuable information such as how to make oatmeal. Oatmeal is the only valuable information they got so far. Oh okay. EPA woman idiot but we knew that! Well two years ago

Boston Marathon Bombing Trial, Missing Video Evidence

As the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev begins, questions arise regarding the "smoking gun" video evidence previously cited by Governor Duval Patrick. Despite official claims that video showed the suspect placing a backpack near a child, no such footage has been produced in court. The defense's strategy of admitting Tsarnaev's presence while blaming his brother is compared to the legal proceedings in the film Idiocracy.

boston marathon bombing· dzhokhar tsarnaev· duval patrick· fbi· smoking gun· courtroom drawings

34:13 On this program, we pronouncedicated that there was no smoking gun video of the so-called Boston bomber placing the backpack either in the trash can or near it as proclaimed by many officials. And we were quite adamant about this. We saw a lot of things wrong with what was happening with the investigation in Boston I would like to replay for you Governor Duval Patrick on Meet The Press Is there anything on the videotape that maybe the public hasn't seen about his reaction that was particularly telling, that moved the investigation along?

34:49 Well, the videotape is not something I've seen. It's been described to me in my briefings but it does seem to be pretty clear that this suspect took the backpack off put it down did not react when the first explosion went off and then moved away from the backpack in time for the second explosion so a pretty pretty clear about his involvement and pretty chilling, frankly. And the only video that we saw was highly dramatized but it was National Geographic who put together the really good one? Yeah it was National Geographic I think and they had Inside The Hunt For The Boston Bombers

35:39 And they had, this wasn't even shot in Boston. It was actors in Phoenix Arizona where they made this mock documentary whatever you want to call it. Mockumentary. And they had a dramatized version of it happening and the fact that case was built on this video if you go back and look at all of them I did this and put on the show notes went back and looked at all separate news reports and everyone's talking about the smoking gun evidence. And it turns out as this trial has now started yesterday,

36:18 Uh, this video truly does not exist. Wait a minute? The governor said it did! He said that someone explained it to him... Who was that someone?! That person should be taken in and then scolded! This is the FBI who uh... Oh the FBI And you recall yet I you'll call the FBI didn't want- It was so shocking that this we could not show this video because it was really just shows so shocking you see But it's not because it does not exist. We've seen like the... Let me get this straight, so all this time has passed and they haven't been able to phony up a video? No they tried but they really don't have it in fact So here's what they did yesterday at trial is the way I understand it And and so crazy that not only do they have that don't have that video but once again we're in the 1900s

37:12 of courtroom drawings because we can't have, we can't have video what's going on in the courtroom. So we have drawings that pisses me off. This is not modern. That's no reason not to have cameras in the court room. We should have cameras and the core man cameras and the gas chamber and every way kill people, cameras everywhere. Um, so yeah, but they have them everywhere else. Yeah. And then we rolled out a number or the prosecution rolled out a whole bunch of um, uh, people who were victims And one victim says, let me see if I have the exact quote here. It was actually pretty funny. One second, I have it here. One victim said yeah you know just thinking about how he put that backpack down right by that little boy and this is when the little boy was killed in the blast and then they went to... If you go look at all the screen caps

38:12 The little boy is not even in the screen captures that purportedly show the backpack sitting there in the trash can. So this has all built on what people hear, what they think... You know how people when there's some traumatic event they all believe they've seen something? I saw the crash and no you didn't! So now they're trying to do anything they can to cover up this fact and the media is completely complicit. This is the story of the decade as far as I'm concerned, this is a big story! Hey, the FBI doesn't actually have the tape that the case was built on about this guy. Interestingly, The Defense came out and said he's not guilty but he was there, he was involved but it was his brother... I don't know why they're taking that type of- No, The Defense came out and this reminds me of the trial in the movie Idiocracy

39:02 where your defense attorney comes out and says, yeah he did it. What kind of a defense is this? Especially when they didn't have... Well it's clearly not working on his behalf No he's not working on his behalf I mean if he was the worst guy in the world that you should have a defense attorney at least tries And yet there's no video why is what's well I'll tell you I'll tell you why because Corpus is what we're dealing with I'll tell you why His defense attorney her name is Patricia something or other She has her own agenda. Her agenda is she wants to get rid of death penalty, she wants to see all people who are accused of horrific crimes not be sentenced to death but sentenced to life in prison so I think she just wants to make sure...she didn't want him get off! She wants to make sure that it's about death penalty versus no-death penalty So she has her own agenda. Let's get through this part a bit quick

39:57 Yeah, so we can just get on and move on to the actual sentencing whether he dies or not. Which is all I care about! That's all she cares about. So the kid is not getting the fair shake... And the media is doing this! Hello media doing this? Where did you...? Hello? Hello?! Hello Media! We'll try it again. I'll try this one. The media is doing this! Heyyyy Wow Well all of work for that punchline Did you check the clips after you did the reset? Yeah sure Of course I did Uh, is something else going on here? Let me just check a different clip. Let's see if it's uh... Maybe it's this particular clip. Hold on. Damn. Why is this problem? Oh I think the clip has- Maybe the clip is dead Yeah the clip is dead. No that's too bad. Oh wait! What was it? Wait wait wait I have um You have a backup clip I have a backup clip let me try this Here we go

40:56 I guess somehow... Okay, so the mainstream media is not talking about the fact that the clip is that the video the FBI says shows a smoking gun video. They're not talking about it not existing they're doing this about other videos. The store manager Shane O'Hara he took us inside the store that day to fear he said it was a calm day quiet in fact people even out He was working at the store occasionally looking out the bomb hits you can see it here So what they're showing here is CCTV footage of the store that was very near the blast. And they're showing all these things... I saw that! Yeah, and then at the end, I'll fast forward here.

41:53 So there's all these horrible videos simply too graphic to show you. We wanted to get this boring video to you as soon As possible so you could see it whatever we do don't talk about Ixnay on the idi-o-vay that's not air they Hey, you can talk pig Latinus and i'm just flummoxed Flummoxed? I like that word. I'm flummoxed that nobody in journalism seems to find this an interesting angle Nobody's even brought it up except you yeah Well, finally it was on. There's a missing tape! The FBI said there was a tape! There supposed to be a tape? The governor talked about the tape! The tape, the tape, where is the tape?! Let's see it! No tape... At a February 19th hearing appellate Judge Juan Torriella asked whether a quote video of Sarnef placing a backpack at the site of the bombing was quote the same thing as the TV confession from the FBI agent. NO! It's not the same thing

42:56 What TV confession? I don't know what they're talking... Oh, I'm sorry. No, I'm misreading this. Oh, this is interesting. Oh, I missed this. I guess there was a Supreme Court case in 1961 where a murder conviction was overturned because the confession was broadcast widely in the parish from which the jury was drawn Okay, not really. I don't think that applies... It doesn't really matter! There was no backpack! This is what the world has come to. Beheading videos — and i was thinking about this just yesterday — beheading videos which really portray a dramatized version of beheading videos

CHAPTER 11 / 38 Discussion

Media Dramatization, Sam Peckinpah Violence Legacy

The modern public's desensitization to violence is attributed to the cinematic legacy of director Sam Peckinpah, who pioneered graphic "squib" effects in films like The Wild Bunch. This need for dramatization is linked to the popularity of highly produced podcasts like Serial and Radio Lab. It is argued that the public no longer registers unedited, raw footage as "real" without cinematic trickery.

beheading videos· sam peckinpah· the wild bunch· tarantino· media violence· serial podcast

43:38 is fake from beginning to end. I think it was a serial, one of those social poppers. Yeah, sitcom. No it wasn't a sitcom! It wasn't funny. It was to me. Funny is fine but it's exactly the same. Yes, the same style, same everything, same setting and I would say instead of not forget let's remember... That guy had no legs by the way. Of course not why would that work?

44:13 But okay, so you're sitting around amusing yourself with the thought that everything's a phony around. Yes! And then... but it works because we have been inundated with mockumentaries documentaries ginned up reenacted and now it might as well have just happened It's true. It just happened and that's why, because a beheading video to me personally coming from the television background if I see a single shot or one shot of guy holding the camera phone whatever there is another guy and he takes a knife and cuts someone head off...I think that would disturb me. I might have nightmares

44:58 But this doesn't work anymore, you see. If it's not highly dramatized the slave population... ...it doesn't register as real! It has to be dramatized. People are desensitized to actual events un-edited with no trickery. if it doesn't have the trickery it doesn't work for us. It's not real The world has gone fucking crazy! What? I blame Sam Peckinpah He's the one. Sam Peckinpah? Yeah, Sam Peckinpah is a guy who invented the modern violence in movies that used a lot by Tarantino. Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch is a good example of it. There was this shotgun and the guy gets hit with his arm flies off blood and guts fly everywhere! I mean it was extremely... The violence in those movies that he did, the Sam Peckinpah films you can look them up later. The Wild Bunch? Is now expected

45:49 They got the squibs and all this stuff so when you get shot, it's not like you can't apparently be shot without a bunch of crap flying every which way. So it has to be people are expecting that now right? Yeah well in many instances you can be shot and it you know you could actually I mean Reagan didn't blow into smithereens when Hinckley shot him In fact he didn't even know he was shot for awhile That seems more common But it's not very dramatic. And you just take some quercetin, spray a little Windex on it and you're good to go. Gaffer tape? Gaffer tape is good for everything. Oh, that was a 22 of course! I think you're right. Yeah well I am right and its terrifying that has come to this. It's terrifying... This is why the serial podcast is so popular because it is highly produced, highly dramatized

46:47 I haven't heard it. Yeah, I've heard a couple episodes. Boring! The story was boring to me... whatever? It seems like one of those things at night that NBC investigates or whatever they're called in 2020. Except it's too long. Yeah, it seems like one of those which is really those are only like 40 minutes. But people like it I'm not gonna argue what people like radio labs have you ever heard that? Oh, it's like this is right now Wow. That's how it was great, but you just did it right down the time to write a timetable. But that's how the radio labs podcast goes and people love that and people love that I get it but it's not okay this is where I say please check out the Zen TV experiment I say at once a year more or less and then do it do this in TV experiment then you'll really know what's going on here being tricked

MTV Virtual Sets, TechTV Production Gimmicks

A retrospective on television production gimmicks describes the "Light Switch" era at MTV, which utilized virtual sets and blue screen technology. One host recalls being placed inside a virtual television on a diner counter to announce music videos. Similar experiences at TechTV involved talking to remote guests who were actually located in the same studio but separated by digital backgrounds.

47:46 And I participated in this, in the buildup of all this system. And it goes back to what we talked about faking satellite interviews fake... It's all fake! It's all fake and we can't- Well when I was doing the thing at Tech TV and I was doing this show they decided to change the format for a second time even though the original form was fine. And they had me talking to guys on remotes that were in the studio. Fantastic! I'm talking, and the guys...I can see him and he's in a separate box with a different background as though he is someplace else because this was going to add some credence We had at MTV we had something called Light Switch It's time for light switch Oh what's that? Well we have a new director of programming coming in who was

48:35 I wanna say her name was Silverstein. I think she had like some... Her daddy-o or something And her great idea was we're going to have these blue screen, we'll have all these virtual sets. So what happened was you'd see MTV would come up a video at end playing and you'd see a diner and there would be like Tony's in the diner making...in a deli making sandwiches. There was a little portable TV on the countertop and I would be in that little tv announcing the next video It was the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life. Fucking moronic is what it was. Light switch... Taking us outside of their normal dimensionality And this was back when chroma key was done on blue screen Yeah, before they finally figured out that green was better Hey man let's do green! Green is better People don't wear green like this

Andrew Lack, NBC Return and BBG Resignation

Andrew Lack is returning to NBC to address the network's credibility crisis following the Brian Williams scandal. Lack resigned from his position as CEO of the Broadcast Board of Governors (BBG) after only six weeks to take the NBC role. Representative Ed Royce and Victoria Nuland discussed the need to reform the BBG to better disseminate information and counter Russian propaganda.

andrew lack· nbc news· brian williams· broadcast board of governors· victoria nuland· propaganda

49:27 Right, so this folds nicely into an interesting development. And it was so interesting that I saw this name... Wait a minute! I know this name. So NBC is in huge trouble and of course besides the fact that just what they do sucks, The Brian Williams thing really hurt the credibility and huge problems. So what did they do? They say, oh we've got to get the guy back. We've got to get our man back! Our man is Andrew Lack. Uh, Andrew Lack is now returning to NBC... ...to um help out and as I was listening to uh Victoria- Why does that name ring a bell? Ah let me tell you- ah very good John very good You know why it rings a bell. I'm gonna play this for you because all of sudden went Oh here is a Victoria Newland named Noodleman

50:25 She was up on the hill and I have more about Russia regarding her or Ukraine of course. This is Representative Royce, and he's talking about the propaganda that of course we have to fight Russia so incredibly good were so behind these guys are so fantastic with their propaganda RT is just convincing the whole world Putin great And what is she doing about it? And then a little tidbit comes up. Yesterday, it was reported that the new CEO of the agency Andy Lack... and he's talking about the broadcast board of governors in terms of the BBG Is resigning his post after six weeks on the job now. Ah! Government be damned if the commercial guys are in trouble then we gotta like do something Wow

51:12 Okay, that does that show you how what the power is of the media? The guy is at the broadcast board of governors who are in charge of Voice of America Radio Free Europe free liberty who are getting new budgets 700 million dollars reported as well. We know just to propagandize not only outside but to the American people themselves But no no NBC isn't trouble screw that all bets are off The guy goes back we know We know the problems that staff and others have had over at the BBG. We've heard from our former Secretary of State, Secretary Clinton that the agency is defunct. It's defunct. Myself, and Angle and other members of this committee put a lot of time and effort working with those who have a very real interest in reforming this getting a consensus

52:10 That legislation is necessary to get this agency back up to the business that it did very well, you know in the 1980s in terms of propagandizing Cold War crap. Disseminating information I'm sorry, I mean disseminating information into Russia and into Eastern Europe. That legislation needs to have support from the administration and I would just leave you with that that request. We can listen to her response, but I just wanted to pause and say wow! I think this is a big deal Well, I can see this happening This guy was there before And he was also at Sony He's one of these guys who comes in and kicks ass

Byron Allen, $20 Billion Comcast Lawsuit

Media mogul Byron Allen filed a $20 billion lawsuit against Comcast and Al Sharpton, alleging racial discrimination against 100% black-owned media companies. Allen claims Comcast uses Sharpton as "racial cover" through token donations while excluding black-owned networks from licensing deals. The suit reveals Sharpton's MSNBC salary is approximately $750,000 per year despite low ratings.

byron allen· al sharpton· comcast· msnbc· racial discrimination· ebony magazine

52:56 So he's gonna NBC's got nothing but trouble Comcast owns them most of them now and they're the ones calling the shots And they decided to get this guy back in there to fix MSNBC has got to be fixed. They're getting ready They're starting to fire people They got rid of Ronan finally and some others, but again have to just revamp that whole operation so you need a heavyweight to come in and do that because you got Rachel to deal with Russell Russell well then you have CNBC, which has been kind of slipping because not because of Fox Business. Because Fox Business doesn't know what they're doing but because I think Bloomberg is coming and it's actually getting with Trish Reagan and some of these other people that came over from CNBC. But I think Bloomberg is pulling the numbers of CNBC down a little bit.

53:43 And people have to realize when any of these stations, and this goes through financial publications too. The key to success is stock picks, stock tallying the stocks going up, the stocks going down. It was actually another interesting tidbit that I picked up about MSNBC. I think we had this argument, I don't know if it wasn't on the air about how much the rev is making Oh, yeah. No we talked about on the air he's making like six hundred thousand or more I thought you were talking millions no He was making millions. He's got 600,000 viewers know how much money do you think a day? How much do you think he makes on an annual basis at MSNBC? I'm guessing five to ten million okay by have the answer for you

54:23 Oh, yes. And this came out of nowhere. This is CNN Byron Allen who was a black media mogul it's important to mention his skin color in this case he is suing Comcast and I think Reverend Al personally For 20 billion dollars. I mean if you got to go, you might as well go first class And here's the setup and this is where we Where it was revealed how much the rev makes over there at MSNBC of the cable industry oops this one sorry He's a host on MSNBC and one of America's most prominent outspoken civil rights activists. And now Al Sharpton, along with Comcast and Time Warner Cable are facing a $20 billion lawsuit over alleged racial discrimination against black owned media companies in the complaint Byron Allen, a comedian TV presenter and CEO of Entertainment Studios

55:18 alleges that Comcast gave Al Sharpton that 6pm show on MSNBC for which he's been paid approximately $750,000 per year despite notoriously low ratings. I told you it wasn't that much! I TOLD YOU you can't make that much money in cable. Well okay, notoriously low ratings is not 600 thousand so i wonder about any of this... Okay, okay. Well it's I think because it's and six times the 600,000 should bring in a bucket person for an hour show which I think he has I think that only about your calculation? I think that only works for broadcasts and not for cable It's numbers, it's just the number of people. It has nothing to do with broadcasters. Broadcasts is like 10 million people. Okay I was on cable for 8 years what do i know? I know nothing Well you were ripped off and said so yourself. It's a bunch of cheap asses they're the guys who don't pay anything MTV total cheap asses You said that already we are not going to count that

56:09 You know how to get ripped off and so maybe you are right. Maybe Al's getting ripped off He is getting six hundred thousand a day five days a week or three million a week works not our words Then he should be getting a lot more money than seven hundred fifty thousand dollars Well, Al was getting paid and this is what the lawsuit is about And I would like We have always told it very straight about Al Sharpton. He is a blackmailer, he's a... That's poor choice perhaps in this case. No no no, he's not a blackmailer, he's an extortionist. Extortionist! He's a legal extortionist, he doesn't break the law. Legal extortionists yes and the way he does it is he says hey we're gonna come to your town I'm going to make a whole bunch of trouble and noise and protest if you donate to my cause maybe we could do it a little differently or not come at all

56:56 And he shows up everywhere, particularly when there's racial division. I lived in New York when we had the Tawana Brawley case which is really where he really hit the radar big time and his business model was cast and he could make a lot of money Now, Byron Allen he's just not pulling any punches. I'm very pleased to hear what he is saying and he says it right out the guy is an extortionist. The cable industry AT&T Direct TV Comcast Time Warner they spent about 50 billion a year licensing cable networks and advertising with less than 3 million dollars per year going into 100% African American owned media

57:40 now what they do is they make token donations to people like al sharpton in double a cpd early and after taking those donations they negotiated a fraudulent mou that says this is okay for black people to live by but what america needs to understand is that Al Sharpton does not speak for me. Al Sharpton does not speak for black people It's like I ask people who is the white person who speaks for you? it's racist to even believe that al sharp and as the go-to person shame on you Sony for thinking sit down with Al Sharpton and that negates your racist emails about President Obama yeah, and I'd like to stop there for one moment and just say

58:21 Why does everyone lose their shit when some cops are sending around bad racial jokes, but when the top of Sony Entertainment emails bad racial jokes it's like yes that wasn't very good of them was it? You know what I mean. Well I guess thats the question nobody can answer. No one wants to cross the Sony execs no news person in there right mind because he may not get into the next movie to be pretend newspaper You can pound on those Ferguson cops. So it's real simple, these token donations they make to him as reported in the New York Post allows them to have racial cover this is why we're not getting enough advertising or any advertising from McDonalds and Coca-Cola I find this very hard to believe Not that it's not happening but why would McDonalds

59:17 advertise on, like I think he says in Ebony Magazine which seems like that would be a perfect place. I'm surprised that advertisers have any... Well this doesn't make sense in some ways because I have seen on certain specific styles of programming and especially professional basketball which has a large black audience McDonald's commercials catering to the black audience with all-black actors And maybe it's just the black owned properties well I don't want to finish this because he has a couple funny ones and there may be a lot of reasons for This and Chrysler and General Motors in AT&T. They don't spend any money with African American-owned media something That's very alarming AT&T spent more money on Al Sharpton's lavish 60th birthday than they spent on

1:00:07 Ebony magazine, the biggest African American magazine in America. Around 70 years 10 million readers per month AT&T spent only $30,000 on that magazine Walmart has given money to Al Sharpton Walmart doesn't spend any money and Ebony magazine, and they barely do business with me in a long-term partnership. And I'm constantly going back and forth with Walmart and Chrysler as well." So he is the least expensive Negro. Don't really do business with real African American oil companies. Wait for his last comment... The numbers are actual!

1:00:47 The numbers are just follow the money. Don't do business with real African American owned companies, just make a token. Give him 50 thousand and a bucket of chicken. Okay, couple I got a couple. I love that I love when he's do some real racial stuff Give the man a bucket chicken first of all if he is the cheapest Negro And it's making 750 thousand that would be the cheapest Negro because then and I'm telling you that numbers too low right what? He gets paid but at MSNBC even though you got me on my assertion they made over million now if that Russell Russell makes couple million

1:01:23 I'm sure she does, but she should probably make more than that. But let's drop all that part and get into the Ebony Jett magazine thing. This is one of those things that it looks great when you say these things but if you're actually involved in the media this is not a problem with McDonald's not liking blacks or their racist undertones and all the rest of it this is a problem with sales They have shitty salespeople must be magazines are successful because they have sales people who know how to sell ads That's that's it. I agree. I agree. I have no idea why he did why it's not working Maybe because and man, I'm sure Brian Allen who produces a lot of stuff. I've seen his stuff over the years He's got good interview shows. He does a lot of things that never catch on as syndicated many has like

1:02:10 HD channels. He owns a lot, he has 36 programs...he's a mogul of sorts. He obviously got no sales people worth the crap he doesn't appreciate him I don't know what it is but i'm telling you right now that all his complaints are sales problems because he's got salespeople that are incompetent You know what? If only this guy knew how to do a newsletter Takes a lot more than a newsletter. You want to get advertising in your magazine, I can tell you that. Well with that... People who know how to sell ads in the magazine. It's-I've worked with people like that can do it and people who can't do it and the difference is obvious. Like this guy stinks! This guy's good. It's not even rocket science And so his complaining falls on my deaf ears

1:02:59 I mean, I've always admired him though. He knows how to produce material and he always uses... The one thing about his shows when you ever see them they're always floating around at two in the morning but he uses modern techniques I mean, he does stuff that is very... this kind of thing you see on the German experimental television. He really uses some modern stuff. Really? Yeah visually. Okay You watch his thing and go wow this is pretty slick looking Well he clearly needs the Currie-Dvorak consulting group too with double D's Not if it gets to 20 billion he doesn't Well yeah Do you think that's going to happen It's his own... he's doing his own extortion racket Yes! Yeah there it is

CHAPTER 15 / 38 Discussion

No Agenda Art, Newsletter Easter Eggs

The hosts credit artist "20 Watt Bulb" for the current episode's artwork and discuss the latest "Giant Dog Head" newsletter. The conversation covers the use of Easter eggs in the newsletter to engage the audience and the success of the value-for-value model, which avoids traditional advertising and sales teams.

1:03:43 We don't have that problem. We have no salespeople, we don't even have an engineer and it's two guys. We got an engineer VoidZero in the back there running the service. We got Eric DeShill running the rings. And that's it! Running the liquor. Then we have a lot of people doing the taxes. Right? For that reason alone I want to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John, Well, in the morning to you Adam Curry. Also in the morning to all ships at sea boots on the ground subs and the water heat in the air and all the dames and knights out there. In the morning to our artists who have always they always get credits here on The Big Show And we like to credit them right up front Thank You very much 20 watt bulb who is back with some fabulous art

1:04:35 Yeah, this was an odd selection because we had the 700 show art. So we wanted to use some with 700 and there were stuff that we couldn't use. There's different references...and 20 Watt Bulb who is a pro, it's not like many of our artists are highly talented amateurs But we do have a few people that do it actually for a living. And I believe 21 Bulbs was one of them. It was good concept, beautiful piece and the more I look at it the more I liked it really. Yeah but thing is despite the content or what it meant or anything it just looked good!

1:05:15 It looks good on a page. I agree, which is one of the little things that's hard to describe. I also used some art for the newsletter Yes and regarding the newsletter which i thought this was one of your best newsletters ever Yeah? Did you have another easter egg because you've been doing this...I think we forgot to talk about the last Easter Egg. Yes, I'm going to have to open up that spreadsheet from now on. I'll do it at the next segment You see how I do that? One guy got the Easter egg last time. Only one. You see how I do that, you see when I write something down to remember for the show and bring it back up? Yeah this was what you told me at the end of last show. I said oh I forgot credit the Easter egg guy and then you said I'll write it down and you did and he actually brought in...I write it down I never bring it in. That's correct! Once in a while I did bring in one couple weeks ago

1:06:02 The Java message oh yes, yeah. Yeah, so that's all I get one good work whatever the case There was an Easter egg and they was there what in this one as well? No there was no Easter Egg Oh People are clicking around buddy. Look at you know people like where is it? I can't find it It's so good you got to do but you should bring that back now put any sir again an upcoming newsletter alright good But what did you like about the newsletter? I liked the title. I liked the subject first of all, the subject was very good because it is giant dog head immediately. I want to click bait was good. I like that. Yeah. I liked the pie image that you had in there with the big pie show kind of three 1415 it was a nice piece of nice piece of work and then uh, I liked the little, anyway, you had good stuff in there. You had this stuff that's relevant that we'll probably not even talk about

1:06:50 Right, but it's talked about in the newsletters. Done that's good We're good to go let's thank some people who are supporting you because we don't need to To extort money. We don't need to deal with Salespeople who can't sell? We just have to do this show and make it valuable to the people who listen to what who is intended for this product Right, because our audience is not a product. Correct. We don't sell...we don't package them and sell them. We make a product and we're serious about it. Yeah the show is a product and the audience is not. It's an audience. This has been reversed in most media with much dismay I think of people like ourselves and our listeners and our producers

CHAPTER 17 / 38 Discussion

Rotterdam Travel, Daylight Savings Time Confusion

One host prepares for a trip to Rotterdam, Netherlands, noting the city's modern architecture and cultural differences compared to Amsterdam. The discussion shifts to the upcoming shift to Daylight Savings Time in the U.S., which occurs 20 days earlier than in Europe. Personal anecdotes regarding family visits and avoiding European paparazzi are shared.

rotterdam· netherlands· daylight savings time· father time· paparazzi· family visit

1:18:05 You know, I kind of like Rotterdam because it's a little more modern than Amsterdam. Oh, it's a lot more modern They got great art they have award-winning architecture in Rotterdam and No one bothers you because they're all Muslim. It's fantastic Yes, you think I'm joking uh-huh? No, no they don't know who I am not at all yes and also in in America Daylight savings time goes into effect on Sunday. Yes, this is where the elites once a if you thought that dress The color was messed up wait until they make you change time again for no apparent reason Except that father time dad father time exists in the Wikipedia I didn't know this father time He's the guy who tracks time hmm Does he remember is it Navy man?

1:18:58 No, no. I think he would because of the naval observatories and what seems to be the one behind it. He is usually depicted as an elderly bearded man dressed in a robe carrying a scythe and an hourglass. He looks somewhat like The Grim Reaper his father time. Yes wearing white though not black right? And of course Europe will not change The Claw of the Time they do it 20 days later makes so much sense doesn't it well that's how we used to Why? I'm not even gonna ask. I don't even want to know why we do it because it's, to me there is no reason other than to confuse people and laugh about how we made people change their clocks There's no other reason Ha ha! We had him... You know what, I gotta write this These stupid slaves We made them change the clock

1:19:47 I gotta dig up my old, uh... I have document- I have information that's come to light. We've talked about this for seven years and there is absolutely no new information that has come to light about any of this whatsoever! I've got information man! New shit has come to light! No you'll have nothing new Yes Alright fine we will talk about it on Sunday No. No? No! Cause I'll forget by then... I'll remember, i'm gonna put it in my thing. Dvorak dot- yeah you'll remember that's not going to do me any good, I gotta find these old recordings dvorak.org slash na. And of course we always want everybody out there supporting us by propagating our formula Our formula is this We hit people in the mouth.

1:20:40 My system is making little so what are you gonna do in Amsterdam? I'm in Rotterdam not in Amsterdam. That's what I meant I'm seeing Christina, but we remember I had this flight which I just moved back. Oh that's right You got stuck Abby. This is like a forced holiday It's not a holiday it's not a holiday. I have a lot of people to see I've got to, you know... You have friends in Rotterdam? I thought they're all Muslims. My daughter is in Rotterdam! Well yeah, that qualifies. And it's cheap, it's free room and board. I don't have money to go running around. Yeah, it's free. With the dollar when you do have to buy something it'll be cheaper so I think it's a buck eleven we're getting down to parity here. Admin JS, It's not a holiday see John don't put that out there. So I'm not going on some vacation

1:21:30 It's gonna be, it's busy. I gotta go see my first wife got to tell her to shut up. Well this doesn't sound like much fun No! Well yeah it was like... I didn't do that very well. I have to say in my first divorce I didn't do things well. I want to make amends but then please stop with all the press stuff its annoying and this is what she doing Know but you're gonna get a bunch of pictures is gonna be another I think she's gonna call the paparazzi and have him waiting around the corner as I show up Oh, yeah. She's doing interviews saying there's no room in my life for Adam anymore

1:22:07 Everyone thinks he's coming back to me. But when is she going, why am I asking a stupid question? Which was going to be the stupid question was when is she going to stop doing this and then I stopped myself because I realized that's the dumbest thing I could possibly ask professional. Yes, she is a professional correct it's actually worth discussing because not often do you get to talk from someone who's inside the bubble It's a different bubble its Europe and small it's in Netherlands Yeah, well I don't know man but it just has to... if something has to stop that means i gotta go and say hey man sorry again whatever. I'll do whatever it takes! Stop make it stop make it stop. Oh you're just living in a dream world then okay? Well everybody wants me to so I got stuff to do I wanted to go to London which I think I'm gonna do but there's only going to be a day- I have an idea. But I have to deal with my dad and my sisters and his whole situation he's at home. Have an idea what's your idea

Mark Lippert, South Korea Ambassador Attack

U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Mark Lippert was attacked with a razor blade during a lecture in Seoul. The attacker reportedly shouted opposition to U.S.-South Korea military exercises. The hosts comment on Lippert's appearance and speculate on his potential connection to a prominent New York financial family.

mark lippert· seoul· south korea· razor blade attack· gordon gekko· diplomacy

1:23:06 I have an idea that you make amends with the paparazzi by giving them an interview with you, or exclusive interview with one of them to plug the No Agenda show somehow in the interview. What good will that do? It'll plug the show! They've been playing bits of this show on television! Oh good yeah we don't need any... no i refuse, i refuse, i refuse! No, we're not going to do that as That's not gonna happen. So have you seen the South Korean ambassador who was slashed? Yeah, this was not very good. This guy looks like... You think this guy doesn't look that bright? Have you looked him up in his pictures? No, I have not. Go look him up right before we do this and look at his pictures and while you're doing that you can play the background of a South Korean ambassador slashed. Uh yeah got it The US and its partners want to guarantee that Iran cannot build a nuclear weapon

1:24:03 The U.S. Ambassador to South Korea is recovering after a man attacked him in Seoul. Video taken just after the attack shows a bloody Mark Lippert leaving an arts center He was giving a lecture when a man reportedly with a razor blade slashed him The White House says the injuries are not life-threatening, the alleged attacker is under arrest The man reportedly shouted no drills for war An apparent reference to US-South Korea military exercises Is Lippert, is he related to the famous New York Lippert family? I don't know who the New York Lippert family is. Oh the New York Lippert family these are they let me see they had this huge hedge fund that

1:24:44 We're going back to Wall Street days, like what was the guy's name that they made the movie about? Madoff. No before this the one that Michael Douglas did with Charlie Sheen Oh yeah, yeah, Wall Street is the name of the movie Yeah but who was the guy, Greed Is Good, that guy? Yeah, Greed is good Mmm, so it was a guy like that in the Gordon Gecko gecko. Yes It was a guy like that and he was the Lippert family I don't see any relation. I'll have to look but he looks dumb yeah He looks like he's dumb He looks like a dumb dog. You know what I mean? Like, he does look like a dumb dog! Arrrr, we just want to pet him. Arrrr at his eyes, little cross-eyes, is he cross eyed? It's just very...I don't know how you got this job Well if he's of the Lippard family That would explain it That's what i'm thinking so I gotta look into that Okay well looking into that, there's no story going on Uncle Don was of course at one point the ambassador South Korea and you'll recall when they were

1:25:44 They raided, they broke into the embassy and were throwing shit and burning shit. And he was living there at the time with Aunt Meg. So this is not an uncon... well, the razor blade is new but yeah it seems like an unplanned event you know this is not a just shit happens. Yeah I'm sorry I brought it up No not really its just a topic that to me is more Jarring than fake beheading videos like oh, man. Can you imagine a razor blade slicing in your dad? That thing's sewed up quick and then he needs somebody to work on you gonna need some plastic surgery Man well let's go with the talking about the latest Snowden you want to go snowed in or you want to go with Clinton's email I second going a couple different directions here We can do so portray us betrays is in the news.

Edward Snowden, Potential Return to United States

Edward Snowden has expressed a desire to return to the United States provided he receives a guarantee of a fair trial. The hosts reiterate their theory that Snowden is a CIA asset used to undermine the NSA. They discuss the logistical difficulty of "extracting" him from Russia and the likelihood of him being imprisoned upon arrival.

edward snowden· nsa· cia· russia· espionage act· whistleblower

1:26:43 Email because there's a lot of numbers we need to do that as part of tech news hmm Yeah, but that's just playing a jingle. Well let's just play the... Let's do Snowden then we'll come back to Hillary. Let's do Snowden what you got? Well Snowden is in the news because now he's going on saying I want to come back He's you know The guy is homesick mission complete mission accomplished missions complete so they gotta get him back somehow because he needs it or let me put the right word out there They have to extract him somehow Because, you're right. The mission's complete he's had an assignment it is over He never even bothered to learn Russian from what I can tell He just doesn't care or didn't get any pair of new glasses and he's sick of it But he's trying to get some sort of a promise that they don't... because he knows what can happen Yeah throw him in the brig They grab him throw them into the brig and throw the key away And then won't even be able talk to his handlers

1:27:42 Which can happen yeah, you know these agencies fight against each other and this guy's you know an NSA Well, let's assume but we always assumed he's a CIA asset going after the NSA Yes get more money for the CIA and see I accomplish that not only do they get more money They also have said they're going to build their own cyber capability therefore not having to rely on NSA capabilities So they got what they wanted time to bring your guy back. Then should do one of those airplanes with a bungee cord That's real by the way Yeah, I know uncle Don has told me that this is real. They actually fly a plane over with a bungee cord you grab that and you go It comes down as kind of a loop yeah And you throw yourself on the loop and then you just bounce right up into the sky and then they Fly away, just hoping on bumping any buildings

CHAPTER 20 / 38 Discussion

CSI Cyber, Fictional Depictions of Hacking

The premiere of CSI: Cyber is criticized for its unrealistic portrayal of hacking and "cyber protocols." The plot involves Russian criminals hacking cloud-based baby cameras to auction off kidnapped infants. The hosts mock the show's use of stereotypes, including a "neck-bearded" programmer, and the dramatization of Internet of Things vulnerabilities.

csi cyber· hacking· baby cameras· internet of things· russian hackers· television review

1:28:32 Well, before we go there then. Although this could be... This could also be tech news the cyber show just came out finally. Oh they had some great promotion I love what they did. A horrible show! No but the promotion they've done oh here's Newsflash The new CSI Cyber is already on the download sites hackers have already taken it you can't get better promotion than that good work Well here play cyber premise. There's the premise of this show the first show by the way The acting stinks and we predicted this would happen because we knew it whether we had inside information Predicted based on them that I could see it coming cuz no you see its cis not NCIS So it's a different CSI, not even CIS at CS what did I say? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I didn't after I told you brought camera I thought was gonna be an NCIS spin-off but no

1:29:23 So premise I just want to I just want to set this month. All right, never mind you You deduced it after I told you after the show that it was coming and then you forgot about that part Then you made this wild prediction don't remember this This is not the way I remember that's all right Please report Baltimore PD states the father heard foreign voices coming out of their baby camera Here's what's worth getting out of bed for Baby cameras are designed to broadcast an infant's cries from their crib to the parents room. The question is, why are foreign voices coming out of the camera? Insect intrusion? I'd like to be sure! Case has been assigned. Fires and walls over major crimes It needs to be reassigned

1:30:12 Any crime involving electronic devices is by definition cyber. Cyber! Alright, you think this kidnapping should fall under cyber division but you couldn't just call me and tell me all of us? Hey the baby's missing it's easier for you to say no over the phone. Alright alright alright alright. Wow bad actor. Okay so that's how dramatic this is, it sucks now they go on I only have three clips so it's not gonna kill ya but there's...it..it's just about here's what it's about It's a baby cam made by this one company and for some reason unknown to me, all these baby cams made by this Natacam or whatever the name of the company is are all in...all the videos are in the cloud. Why? To me, a baby cam is just a cam you hook up your computer, you hook it somewhere so something that just watches the baby and you can watch them on your computer but no!

1:31:01 These are hooked to the cloud. And the big fat guy, there's a fat guy that's the programmer superstar... Oh really? They did that stereotype?! Yes! With a plumber butt? With a neck beard! Oh no, really!? Yeah! Well that's very accurate then So they got a neck bearded fat guy and he goes over at the company and I didn't cut the line but he looks at their code says you guys are idiots and then he says you gotta shut it down He's FBI so he can say that Meanwhile, of course they have the scene that's coming up and I have a couple of photos. And now I don't want to sound like a complete nerd but I have a couple of photos of the scenes which i'm going to post on Twitter or maybe in the next newsletter showing a huge flaw in the set design. It has nothing to do with this. So just playing not just kidnapping to get a sense what is going on here

1:31:54 Alrighty. Sorry, we didn't know the new cyber protocol on a kidnapping. This is not just a kidnapping That's right cyber protocol Well you wouldn't touch anything anyway would ya I was you start messing with the site with the crime scene But okay We were just let that slide Meanwhile Chris at the beginning where the woman said oh there's two voices coming out There's little speaker under a lot of these baby kids. I love how angry you get about this fictional depiction of cybercrime

1:32:43 Really? You think I get angry. It sounds like you're a little angry. I'm irked, is what you say. Okay. Yeah, irked. Yeah good, irked. Now here's what this story is... The story is there are baby cams in the cloud and some group of apparent Russian or Russian, not Ukrainian but Russian crooks- Of course! Because they don't never say it but if you look at them they have their breasts open. They're Russians. A bunch of Russian creeps. Screw those guys And they have decided to...they get these kidnapping teams and they grab the baby, and then hold the baby up in front of the little baby cam at night where they get into a house. Everyone's asleep. And they hold the baby and the various people start to bid for the baby. This is a kidnapping-for-hire thing. So I'll put you on this. Of course we have Arabs

1:33:32 And we have all these different people that are bidding for the baby and then they take the baby. Nice! And then the baby gets kidnapped and shipped over for a hundred grand to whoever it is that wants the baby, whoever bid the highest for that baby and that was the voices coming out of the baby cam. Oh, there wasn't like a ham radio guy next door? That's what it would be! The only good line in the whole thing was this one which is those poor parents... This is kind of a funny line and I think its going to be thematic for the whole series which is all these dangers, dangers out there, be very aware Be vigilant! Be vigilant! Vigilant people we need vigilance. Oh those poor parents

Victoria Nuland, Ukraine Military Funding Testimony

Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland testified before Congress regarding the conflict in Ukraine. Representative Dana Rohrabacher criticized the U.S. policy of "humiliating" Russia and questioned the decentralization of the Ukrainian government. It is noted that a third of the Ukrainian military is reportedly financed by billionaire Ihar Kolomajewski, who recently hired Hunter Biden.

1:35:08 and they don't have a big fat guy with a neck beard. That's lame, but all right let's go on let's talk about Russia for a moment now this allows me to finish up a few clips short ones here from Noodleman Victoria oh yeah I wanted to i'm glad you did this because I will saw this and I said Adam if he's got noodle man he's got it that's right I have triggers everywhere, Noodleman. And she's not... She's looking a little pudgy." She looks like crap! Yeah she does. She looks like she's not happy. When she was well-she's married to Robert Kagan hello? Evil the man's Beelzebub. She doesn't look good when she was doing uh when she was spokeshole for state now she is ambassador at Newland i'll have you know

1:35:55 Ambassador Newland. He is assistant deputy, no ambassador...they call her ambassador in the... Yeah what's she an ambassador to? I thought she was the Deputy State Department head. I think that carries an ambassador title and it's I think she's ambassador to Ukraine probably something like that. While you do this all look at yourself. Here she is and there was a little tidbit in here Again, this was almost like the broadcast board of governors. When I heard this, I went hold on a second another name I know what's going on with this? The overturn of the rotten regime by violent demonstrations and non-democratic means of overthrowing that regime they could have two years later they could have kicked that Yanukovych out with a free election

1:36:49 They didn't wait. Okay, so let us... He's basically saying you didn't wait. You McCain all these couldn't wait hope that what we're doing now is aimed at trying to end the conflict that started in that more complicated way than black and white The what people are advocating that we send weapons I To Ukraine and the defensive weapons would any of these weapons be under, do we see any of these weapons becoming part of the arsenal of that part of the Ukrainian army that is financed which I believe a third of the Ukrainian Army is now that are in conflict. Is financed by an oligarch, uh, a private citizen who happens to be a multi-billionaire? Ha! No

1:37:44 And then I looked this up. Wow! What he just said is a third of the Ukrainian military is financed by one guy, a billionaire his name is Ihar Kolomajewski and here's the cool thing who did he hire just recently? Yes Hunter Biden Oh, he's the guy who hired Biden's kid. Yeah, yeah! The coke head. Also Biden's kid works for this guy. By the way, the coke head...

1:38:24 Yeah, the co-kid from Joe Biden is now... Right. We knew Biden was working over there as one of the White House... Well, Biden if you...Biden is always the guy who's talking to Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk because I get all these...I'm on the news feed from The White House and it's always the vice pre...you know they say transcript...not a transcript they call something else like write up or write down of the vice president's phone call with Ukrainian President Poroshenko. And they don't put anything in there that they actually said, it's just like a summary like he said hey how you doing? You got my kid off the coke still yeah okay good keep going we'll send you some weapons and shit

1:39:04 This is so corrupt people. This is so gosh dingy dongedy day corrupt! The vice president of the United States, his son Kocheb kicked out of the military he's working for the guy who finances the Ukrainian military a private citizen citi-citizen Okay, I want to interject here. You can continue with this, I hope. Yeah, of course. Of course. Newland. Here's the deal. She served as the principal deputy foreign advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney, and then...why is she working for this? Don't you think anyone thinks it suspicious she worked for Cheney and now she's working on them for the Democrats?" Well yeah but she's married to the Kagans. I find it a little odd that Barack Obama was supposed to be a liberal. I don't know. Yeah, Barack Obama also loves the Kagans now who were the neocons before. Now they're the... Yeah, war mongers.

1:40:04 John McCain, the Michael Perry... Warren Paul's advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney and then as UN ambassador to NATO. And so she used a... So this is the thing that bugs me. They still call her Clinton president, they still called her ambassador because that was the highest title she has achieved. So she's, even though she is not an ambassador to anything they call her ambassador and it is not because of her job which is assistant secretary for state for European and Eurasian affairs. Really? She even gets a little handwritten sign there that says the Honorable Victoria Newland Right! And it said Ambassador on her chyron and I think on that label you were talking about

1:40:46 This bullcrap! And I think she has a sash. So that... To wear. Alright, go on. Take it take it. Here is uh now this by the way is Dana Rohrabacher from California I believe Republican. Yes, I believe so. And by the way, when he talks through... I didn't clip that because it wasn't saying anything interesting. When he talks slow, he sounds like Batman. He has a very interesting cadence in his voice and he did not use that voice but he had a point to make? Yes, he had a point about that pretty much he's sick and tired of the United States of America embarrassing and putting down Putin

1:41:34 and making Putin look bad. And he's gonna tell Victoria Nuland to shut up! Oh, always fun. When Yanukovych was talking to the EU about association... Right He was also working with the IMF on an IMF package similar to what was offered later and what we have now. I was working as the US government representative to him to try to get him to meet IMF conditions I had more than 30, 30 hours of meetings with him. Listen, excuse me? Yeah. I only have 25 seconds where they cut you off. Okay. I like how she says okay please let me speak to the weapons issue. It's not your time. Hey, that was bad. Hey

1:42:27 I just love it when they do that me off. Okay, I want to make this point let me speak to the It's not your time Shut up, they're gonna cut me off in 15 seconds Hey, I hope that what we're doing is trying to bring peace to the Ukrainians and not to humiliate the Russians And there's a lot of people who and I understand I would I was a big Cold Warrior as well. Our goal should be to try to have peace in that part of the world, not to try to humiliate Russia again and again and again. There's too many people being killed out there, and I would hope that we have – with decentralization which seems to be accepted by both sides

1:43:10 that, that string of those...that area of Eastern Ukraine can be remain part of Ukraine even though now you have this separatist violence going on. That with promise of decentralization and respect for everybody's rights and end to the violence that we can end this situation And uh..That should be our goal I would hope that we don't get caught up in trying to re-establish a Cold War with Russia because we have so many people who have grudges and should, by the way I understand that Russians during the Cold War murdered how many Ukrainians?

1:43:50 But our goal shouldn't be right now to make them pay for that, what they did during Stalin's era but bring peace to that region. And I would hope we can work together on that. Do you understand what this decentralization is and how it works? I've been trying to get a true... I haven't gotten a good explanation. I'm expecting to get one on Democracy Now or someplace that would get into a long discussion, but I have not seen it because right now that show is so hung up on Ferguson and the one joke the guy made. Yeah. Let me play the last clip and we can move onto that if you want here's... So Newland finally after

1:44:30 But after he tells her to shut up and he's done, she makes a pitch at the end. It's strange how representatives have time and they try to stay within their time boundaries and they get cut off. The witness in this case, Nula Noodleman She just says, oh I just want to make my pitch. She has a Russia pitch My concern is that it is the policies of the Kremlin that are hurting the Russian people now Hurting them economically having their sons come home in body bags That's what I worry about I've spent 25 years of my life trying to integrate Russia into Europe and into the international system And I worry about the fate of Russia citizens as much as Ukraine's Well finally we know whose fault It is then

1:45:17 I blame you. Yeah, noodle man if that if you have been working on this for 25 years How's that working out girl not? This woman is bothersome and she is and I realize she was foreign policy advisor to Cheney and there's ambassador to NATO which means She's all in very connected. She does something very interesting when she talks he has this smile that she can just turn on and off and somehow Even though she's a horrible person, it's endearing. She has a good little trick there I'm not quite sure how she does that Is that the inappropriate smile that just shows up out of the blue here and there? But its kind of motherly It has like a little thing to it We go, ah... Its very difficult to do without seeming patronizing or Yeah It can be done! I think Bill Gates does it well Hmm

1:46:11 It's not patronizing when he does. He doesn't smile, you know if like sorrows I'm so I watched the Smile that you know that's right. I watch maybe hour and a half and didn't bother but I did notice it Okay That's kind of interesting You know I tried watching in I'm glad you tried to you watched in got a clip because I couldn't get anything from her She's very Pop plotting she's plotting yeah well yeah And then one more thing, there's a Dutch report and this is from the Dutch government broadcaster. So you have the...you have a whole bunch of commercial broadcasters but this is really sanctioned when the NOS News who these are the guys oh by the way the same guys who let that crazy kid come in took him to another studio even though the one that was dressed like anonymous had a fake gun and tried to do something yeah those guys they came out with

CHAPTER 22 / 38 Discussion

MH17 Investigation, Dutch Media Bias Claims

A report from the Dutch broadcaster NOS claimed that the investigation into the downing of flight MH17 points toward a Russian Buk missile. However, Russia Today (RT) contacted Dutch prosecutors who stated that no such final conclusion has been reached. The hosts suggest the Dutch media is pushing a narrative to satisfy a traumatized public despite a lack of verified evidence.

1:45:17 I blame you. Yeah, noodle man if that if you have been working on this for 25 years How's that working out girl not? This woman is bothersome and she is and I realize she was foreign policy advisor to Cheney and there's ambassador to NATO which means She's all in very connected. She does something very interesting when she talks he has this smile that she can just turn on and off and somehow Even though she's a horrible person, it's endearing.

So you have the...you have a whole bunch of commercial broadcasters but this is really sanctioned when the NOS News who these are the guys oh by the way the same guys who let that crazy kid come in took him to another studio even though the one that was dressed like anonymous had a fake gun and tried to do something yeah those guys they came out with

1:47:09 an article called, and I'm translating on the fly here... Five questions about the MH17 investigation. This is the 777 from Malaysia Airlines that was downed above Ukraine And it's one of these typical articles First there is no reason for it I'm going to translate this on the fly. What have the police and the open... what do you call that? I'll just say Justice Department, it's not exactly the translation but the justice department. What have they found up until now because apparently the Dutch are leading the investigation which i think is a bad idea since the dutch government relies so heavily on Russian trade that there may be some bias

1:48:04 But what they do here is they say, and of course they have a whole country which is shell-shocked. You know there's almost 300 Dutch people when you look at the connections...the family connections that affects a lot of people even I know people who had friends or family who died on the flight so it affects a lot of people that puts people into a crisis mode It is very traumatic and people want answers and they're not getting them We still don't really know what the results of the black box are. None of this has been put out in the open because they immediately came out, blamed Putin and then they can't back it up." So translating on-the-fly, the investigative results point in one direction that MH17 was downed by a Buk rocket fired from a Russian installation probably by Russian military. The Buk installation was moved

1:48:58 from Russia to Ukraine very shortly before the crash. That is seen in several videos that have shown up on the internet, but Dutch detectives have also spoken with eyewitnesses in Ukraine so very subjective. But people are now everyone's all over this oh there it is investigative results are out and so this one One article has been propagated in certainly the Dutch media as, oh we know now. Even though it's saying things like points and seems like could be and of course Russia today has to respond to this.

1:49:41 all over the Ukrainian media stating that Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 was shot down by a Russian Buk missile. No, maybe no probably it's all reported as fact the source supposedly comes from the Dutch prosecutor's office The Netherlands is leading the investigation into the crash that killed almost 300 people who were on board It appears that they used this article by a Dutch broadcaster titled Five Questions. It's about MH17, if you scroll down we get to the important bit what have the police and prosecutors found so far? And it says here that the Boeing was brought down by a Buk missile fired from a Russian launcher and probably by the Russian military but here is the problem, Dutch prosecutors told RT that they have reached no such conclusion

1:50:30 I'm not familiar with these reports, but I can say for sure that they are not correct. We are still investigating the plane crash and we are not yet ready to take any conclusion. Yeah there you go! I am glad they called somebody in Czech. Are you telling me? So this bullcrap report comes out everyone buys it from the Dutch government from the government broadcast organization. Yeah, but nobody's verified this is accurate or anything like that? Except for RT they did. Yep! This is uh... yeah I know, you know, I know, I know

HSBC Scandal, BBC Institutional Ties

The BBC is facing scrutiny over its relationship with HSBC, as several high-ranking officials, including BBC Trust Chair Rona Fairhead, have ties to the bank. Critics argue these connections have suppressed reporting on HSBC's money laundering scandals. The bank's influence is compared to that of Goldman Sachs, though HSBC is described as more "shadowy."

hsbc· bbc· james comey· rona fairhead· money laundering· banking scandal

1:51:14 Yeah, RT has to do it which is like yeah, what's ludicrous that won't fly really you think some of anyone in any one of these major media organizations You know the Telegraph observer and the you know this son New York Times anybody would just call Right. Have you been following? The HSBC stuff in in the UK oh my goodness And I don't have any video of this, but you know of audio or any clips. So we know that HSBC there was the thing with the telegraph where they were pretty much trading... Yeah, yeah it was the telegraph. They were buying out a million pounds worth of advertising and therefore there was no real reporting on the huge scandals that HSBC has been involved in right? But now check this out! This HSBC group

1:52:07 And of course, I'd like to remind everybody that our new director of FBI James Comey was a board of direct on the Board of Directors of HSBC. Yeah he's part of it when I believe there was shenanigans going on like drug law and always always going on well now we have the culture of media and sports minister in the UK who works for the BBC And let me see, we have also the BBC Trust Chair Rona Fairhead. And all of these people were either appointed by HSBC or they worked for HSBC and now the BBC is being accused that they also have not really reported very much on HSBC's issues? So the chairman of BBC Trust

1:53:01 It's a banker, I'm reading from the slog. This is John Ward who does excellent reporting on his blog. The chair of the BBC Trust is a banker with a still continuing relationship with HSBC. The Minister of Trade was for several years the CEO of HSBC. The BBC carried out a damning investigation into HSBC while Fairhead had a seat in both camps. The minister of culture media and sport was a banker and he hired Fairhead. Sajid David was put into the culture media and sport role by David Cameron whose father was a stockbroker The main conservative-leaning newspaper in Britain worked with HSBC on the cash for coverage deal, while Fairhead wasn't an advisor to them on media and other relations. Now we read that Fairhead will give evidence to the Public Accounts Committee alongside HSBC chief executive Stuart Gulliver next Monday." The whole thing is...the British Bankers Club! And these guys have power so they are inside at the BBC at high levels making sure that nothing is really done about them

1:54:01 or at least reported. There's gambling? Yeah, but I think it's overshadowing Goldman Sachs' evil empire and why you know it's possible that Goldman Sachs is not the evil empire nature SBC is very possible because why would he do because the evil Empire should be somewhat shadowy yeah right What's your point? I don't get the... Well, the point is that Goldman Sachs was kind of too upfront. Right. They weren't as shadowy in the sense that you never heard of them. Right. HSBC has never been in a conversation

Benjamin Netanyahu, Congress Speech and Tweets

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the U.S. Congress, warning of the threat posed by Iran. Netanyahu highlighted the Iranian Supreme Leader's use of Twitter to call for the annihilation of Israel. The hosts mock Netanyahu's focus on "tweets" as a primary security concern and his dramatic rhetorical style.

1:54:43 No, and they show up in the conversation every once while I move for that money laundering scam and all the other stuff they do it then it disappears. It doesn't get reported. Goldman Sachs is constantly getting hounded an even have the Goldman Sachs elevator guy on Twitter right? Is he still tweeting now? He's kind of to write books or something. He's not tweeting his rewriting his old tweets But there's great tweets that he does. Those are great! There was another big Twitterer that was highlighted this week, very important people on the tweeters. Did you see Benjamin Bibi Netanyahu address our Congress? Yes And did you hear what he had to say about the tweets? No I missed that part...I think i fell asleep Today the Jewish people face another attempt by yet another Persian potentate

1:55:40 to destroy us. Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khomeini I love the pronunciation. Ayatollah Khomeini Khomenei? Khomenei! No, khoye- Ayatollah Khomeeni Khomeenie, Khomeinee Ow! Oh shit ow It's okay, i'm okay, i'm safe Ayatollah Khomeini This is funny His tell BBs tell his throat clams up because he's gonna lie here He's gonna say some crap and he needs to drink some water it's so bad Well, maybe it was the way he pronounced hominy. Maybe that hurt maybe that's what messed him up home Man, are you Iran supreme leader? I told him in a spews The oldest hatred the oldest hatred of anti-semitism with the newest technology He tweets that Israel must be annihilated he tweets T2 no any Ron there isn't exactly free internet but he tweets in English and

1:56:48 that Israel must be destroyed. Well, this is an outrage! There should be internet... He tweeted it! What did he tweet? And you can always follow me on Twitter This is outrage! He's tweeting annihilation Oh that's dangerous and why is this such a big deal- HE TWEETS Come on BB Strange HE TWEETS Uh okay You hold up pictures of bombs with the fuse Which is more infantile, my friend.

Spinning Classes, Fitness Culture Satire

A satirical look at the fitness industry focuses on the popularity of spinning classes like SoulCycle. The segment mocks the trend of adding heat, candles, and hand weights to stationary bike workouts to justify high prices. One host defends the practice as a healthy, community-based activity despite the lack of "co-ed showers."

spinning· soulcycle· fitness· exercise· candles· los angeles

1:57:36 Yes, especially for you. The chef has chosen this little teaspoon of goo especially for you...for you he's thinking of you personally. By the way I was thinking about this while sitting down and didn't take a note on it You know what bugs me? Where do i start? You go to some store like a liquor store and the guy says well do you have any of these Gewurztraminer and the guy goes oh I am getting some in today, but I also have for you this wine here and I've liked this one. He's always referring to first person as though it is his store when it's not his store he's a sales guy on the floor. Hey! You should go work for Byron Allen

1:58:24 It's I... You need sales guys. I bought the wine, I ordered some new...I am getting this in! It should be we. The guy is not a team player but it bugs me when a guy does this to me because i know he didn't order this wine and was the buyer who ordered the one or somebody maybe did and with some off chance he ordered this particular wine but I doubt it. I'm really sorry you feel that way. It just annoys me. I saw this happening on some other situation. Well what I have for you today What I have for you today, as though you're not even the... Yeah. I get it now. Yes. Okay so what? So you actually are chef and you have something for us today will it be better than the CSI cyber clips this is I think just a good backgrounder for people that don't know much about spinning

1:59:11 And now if anyone knows the name of the comic who did this I would like to get and credit her, but just this clip was from back in December. I never got to play it and I forgot who she is. And you are playing this to mock me? No no no! I'm just playing for educational purposes for the audience You're already all-in on spinning and i realize that you can't be mocked. You've already...I've tried to mock you about this before pump-pumped me and you know what do you know but I think the audience still doesn't realize what's going on here and i think i know the key to this because now believe she gave me some insight into why you really like this. What is happening? It's amazing, you can convince anyone of any type of exercise especially in Los Angeles spinning let's take spinning how did that happen

1:59:59 We're just gonna take a bunch of stationary bikes and we're gonna put them in her room, and you're on a pedal real fast You're not gonna go anywhere absolutely go nowhere It's gonna go up and down and up and down then we're going to dim the lights and pump in a bunch of music And there you go spinning 20 bucks. Let's do it Everyone's like, yeah. Yeah! And then they just keep adding to it you know? They're like okay you're still gonna be spinning but now no lights whatsoever just candles it's just all candles that means it's going to get louder there's going to be disco ball up and down and up and down with hand weights Now there's hand weights SoulCycle 30 bucks Now you're gonna keep doing that You're gonna keep doing that You're gonna keep spinning Now we're gonna add heat We're gonna add a lot of heat 90 degrees 100 degrees in the room Candles and weight and up and down and up and down

2:00:43 Hot spin 3950 Yeah, I finally got the clue about why you liked it the candles There's no candles in my spin studio. Am I lying? Oh, I got I was on to ya Candles No No, I told you why I'm there It's very healthy, it makes you feel good as a community-based feeling. I wish they had coed showers! I keep telling you the coed showers would be good. Well there is no reason not to have them and in Finland when you go to the saunas

CHAPTER 26 / 38 Discussion

Cultural Shifts, European Nudity and Censorship

The "Americanization" of European culture is blamed for a shift in attitudes toward public nudity and body shame. A host recalls the open curtains and co-ed showers of the 1970s Netherlands, contrasting them with modern censorship on platforms like Instagram. The discussion touches on the decline of topless beaches and the rise of "sideboob" policing.

netherlands· topless beaches· censorship· instagram· sideboob· americanization

2:01:24 I think there's co-ed. When we arrived in the Netherlands in 1972, I recall a couple of things one... Well, there was number of things that the French fries with mayonnaise was one but I got used to that and started like it. The other things were The curtains were always open and people's front windows were always spotless. You could always see into their living room, it was a very Dutch thing... Open come look I have nothing to hide." They have that in the marina in San Francisco. And the...I thought very interesting was And of course we didn't have spin studios or anything like that, but sporting clubs like football clubs or hockey clubs or anything really. Any type of club was all co-ed showers and people would take their kid off men women whatever it would not make a difference there was zero shame and that has gone away over the course of 30 years thanks to America

2:02:18 And I truly think that now that they've, you know, they got commercial television 23 or four or five years ago. And I think you're right. I think American culture crept in and we became ashamed of our bodies and all these things that are because of commercialized media. Yeah! And how sad really? I mean, again we still have the beaches which are you know topless. Beach... Oh they're starting to bitch about that now? I'm sure they are! What is how does that happen how does that work why does that take place? We're astonishing! We can we are culture twisters it's all me it's all you just let's find a vortex what's down at the bottom spinning around spinning around down there's a hole down Hollywood there ya go

2:03:07 That's where it all comes from. It must be world culture, it must be oh yeah well that's disappointing uh yeah it is disappointing in many regards on the other hand it's like wow we are good at this because you get to this point and Christina I miss nobody's controlling if you can't be controlled there's no one person that says oh topless is bad topless is bad there's nobody who's doing that and then all of a sudden topless is bad for whatever cumulative reasons because the society kind of decides it and pushes it on the Europeans. Oh, that's bad you shouldn't have these beaches! And he pushes on pushing on pushing on them and there's no one way to reverse it when somebody comes along says what's wrong with these beaches being topless? Women get a better tan only a stupid strap across her you know you gets your woman likes a tan but she can't if you just got a white line across their breasts dumb looks stupid yeah

2:04:03 And now, of course it's not Hollywood but Instagram Facebook sideboob you get your pictures deleted. Your account gets put on hold. Side boob! So side boob I know side boobs is like who cares? And then you see people go this is censorship. Oh really? Get the F out of my face. You all were all in on this Morons hide side boob. Hey my selfie stick comes today I ordered one just to take a picture of me with the selfie stick Selfies dick oh Man, oh man.

Mexican Drug Cartel Leaders, Zetas Arrest

Mexican authorities arrested Omar Morales, the alleged head of the Zetas cartel, shortly after capturing the leader of the Knights Templar. The hosts express skepticism that these arrests will impact the drug trade, suggesting that new leaders will simply replace those captured. The FBI's potential involvement under James Comey is briefly mentioned.

2:05:03 When your head was chopped off, fell into the hand basket and you were going to hell. You might be right! It makes nothing but logical sense I think that is where it's from Yeah you can modernize it Helena Prius, been Zoomed high to you Excuse me More cartel leaders busted We never need to talk about Guzman or Goozmon Oh, Guzman? Yeah. They're still kicking ass they got a couple new guys play this so we can catch up with what's going on we still don't know what the process is that they just are it's our people to have something to do with this Mexican police are claiming another victory in their war on drugs they've arrested Omar Morales

2:05:43 reputed head of the Zetas cartel. As Adam Rainey reports, the arrest comes days after the Mexican government pinned down another top cartel leader The rest of this alleged leader of the Zetas cartel comes just days after authorities here in New Mexico took down Servando Gomez He was an alleged leader of the Knights Templar Now these two arrests show that Mexico continues to focus on taking down leaders of these drug trafficking and criminal organizations They're not gonna do anything about it. I think they're starting to take that Do something oh to return only to replace with somebody else William. I think our people yes Yes, exactly we need new guys who don't know the HSBC trick so we can bring him in you know and do something Definitely something something changing changing of the guard well now that Comey's in

David Petraeus, Plea Deal and Hillary Clinton Comparison

General David Petraeus reached a plea deal for the unauthorized removal of classified information, avoiding jail time. The timing of the deal is linked to the emerging scandal surrounding Hillary Clinton's private email server. Judge Napolitano noted that a felony conviction for mishandling records could disqualify a person from holding public office.

2:06:39 You'd think he might have something to do with it. I'm sure he's intimately involved with FBI has got to be involved with these cases I would think so This is none of this is none of this is a surprise All right, let's go to betray us okay? So tell me portrayus is back in the news why you This is what I want to know. My personal opinion, play the rundown and then I'll tell you my personal opinion. Petraeus explained a democracy now... Do we need to back up and explain who he is and why were talking about him? Oh God! I hope not. No go ahead it's worth it. General Petraeus was running CIA and then he got screwed with some biographer and then he got in his... Using Gmail

2:07:29 using gmail's important yeah gmail which is official cia mail when he's using it whatever the case he used to run one of the wars and we used to mock him for wearing all these badges, millions of badges on them. And bake light name plates. Bake a light pins. Talk of Edward Snowden's return comes as a government leaker of a different sort has reached a plea deal. Retired four-star general and former CIA Director David Petraeus will plead guilty to one count of unauthorized removal and retention of classified information. The FBI and federal prosecutors had recommended felony charges against Petraeus for providing classified information to a woman with whom he had an extramarital affair,

2:08:14 Petraeus resigned in 2012 after admitting to cheating on his wife with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. Petraeus gave Broadwell access to a CIA email account and other sensitive material, including reportedly the names of undercover operatives in Afghanistan. Under his plea deal, Petraeus faces a maximum of one year in prison, though prosecutors will seek a suspended sentence that would spare him any time behind bars. Oh, this is interesting! The timing of this is, wow... probably not coincidental. So his plea deal is for removing classified documentation which I believe means that he put classified information onto Gmail which they call an unclass system and therefore that's a felony

2:09:12 And I know this because of Judge Napolitano, who used to have a show and he got kicked off because he was saying things that were too smart or whatever. He gets to show up on Fox once in awhile and there's this 20 second bit which went me go, ah! Yes number two the other way that she is in trouble... ...and this is about Hillary Clinton ...is a person who knowingly and willfully destroys or conceals government records This is a felony punishable in jail by up to three years and are you ready for this? Disqualification from holding public office under the United States of America in the future. You think this is coincidence no coincidence at all I love that clip yeah, that was borderline clip of the day it makes so much sense

2:09:56 Well, and then Josh Earnest got called on it. And now while they're doing that I'm now thinking the Snowden thing is a distraction of the week. So play Earnest on Petraeus and we'll get a clue of how we're going to swing this around and not mention Hillary. Quick questions on accountability as well? This administration has been more aggressive than any other in trying to prosecute people for leaking classified information, journalists who have either published or seen classified information working on stories. And yet General Petraeus... This is that Fox guy again isn't it? This entire job is to make trouble in this room. Yeah, it's and he's been put in and everyone knows he's doing this guy is on all the time He's got a good poll position seat too. You're just gonna get seen he does multiple questions. Yeah department finds leaked classified information

2:10:48 and he gets off with a misdemeanor, it is not doing any jail time. What kind of signal does that send? That if you're senior member of the president's administration, you leak classified information You're not going to jail but other people are Well Ed I don't actually think that the Justice Department did find that he disclosed classified information The charge that pledged to was the improper handling of classified information that's different than the disclosure. The code word spy names the president's briefings that's not classified information and the charge General Petraeus- Hold on, I just swallowed my testicle. Pled to was related to the improper handling of classified information that is different than the disclosure that you asserted For more details on that investigation i would refer you to the Department of Justice but certainly uh... the president believes it was appropriate for general petraeus take responsibility for his actions

2:11:47 There's a couple of things at work here. One, there still is some thought that Petraeus could be a player and run for president... Which I've always asserted as I think it's a high probability. You say high, I say low but it does exist because as we know, you watch the last elections and track the phony baloney polling to keep money flowing into the big media uh... that they can be convinced of anything right court monies involved so this is possible that the thought some was going on a hat they had to do the same thing according to judge napolitano this guy because even in this handling of his felony or not selling it would give preclude him besides that he's embarrassed now this is nice guy gonna run for anything so they got him out of the picture i think there was the idea to begin with as the fbi wanted through the book and

CHAPTER 29 / 38 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, Private Email Server Technical Analysis

Technical analysis of the "clintonemail.com" domain suggests that the emails were routed through MX Logic (McAfee) rather than a server physically located in Hillary Clinton's home. State Department spokesperson Marie Harf argued that using an unclassified private email is not a violation because the official "state.gov" system is also unclassified. The hosts suggest the server was a smart move for privacy, despite media scrutiny.

hillary clinton· clintonemail.com· mx logic· mcafee· state department· private server

2:12:35 for all kinds of things, I guess. They made it back off... So meanwhile we got Clinton here who they gotta deal with because she wants to run but it looks like forces are trying to get her screwed over by the fact that she had her own private email that she did for all their business on called... It was hdr22 at clintonmail.com. I think if we can all write her an email, she'd probably pick it up. It's clintonemail.com ClintonEmail.com, and HRD... I was looking at HRD too. If anyone has any ideas on the 22, I don't know what that means. Maybe she is one of those people. Steve Gibson at Security Now does this. Do you have his email? His next year's email will have a different number. It increments the numbers. So she may have had this for 22 years for all we know.

2:13:29 It's actually D-HDR, yeah. Which I think is more interesting is that that's what she really...I don't even know if she has ever officially changed her name to Clinton! That stands for Hillary Diane Rodham which is her real name. And there's some question if you look into her background, the Wiki page is quite good on Hillary by the way. It indicates that she was back and forth on changing her name to Clinton and she did it for political reasons I don't know that officially if that's your actual name on a driver's license. It still could be H-D-R. So Associated Press reported that she was running an email server from her own home and everywhere they were claiming that they had seen internet registration documentation to back this up. Apparently some guy named Ben, some dude named Ben but when I looked into it

2:14:23 What has been set up for, I think two years at least is you know. I look at the MX records if people are going and looking at Clinton email dot com that is not how email is routed Associated Press If no one has shown, I've not seen any evidence of the email server being in her house. The only way and... Let's face it it is not in our house! I don't believe so either. They tracked it you know what? I know where they got this tell me if I'm wrong. They did a whois search they found their registrar they founded name and address of the server of the owner of the email address or domain name clintonemail.com And it was her house address

2:15:05 It's like my, you can look up Dvorak.org and say well he is running his server out of the post office over here because I used the post office address. That is pretty much what I think and now that the ClintonEmail.com registration was updated with a privacy thing obviously but what I'm seeing is the MX record and I worked with Void Zero for like an hour-and-a-half on this just to make sure I am not crazy because I'm doing net stats, digging in seeing whats going on at NSLookups The MX record points to MX Logic. And MX Logic is pretty much what you have with your guy, it's like a spam service and everything runs through... It's now part of McAfee interestingly enough

2:15:46 So the emails were being routed to MXLogic servers where they were probably rid of spam. There may be some archiving happening there, a lot of things going on and then maybe...maybe there was a server it could be in the house and by the way fine I've run servers in my house. No, I think is great! In fact, I have more respect for if you actually have a server bouncing around in your house I would just like you when you look at wired. So here's wired the way this is very bad when Wired Magazine says, You should never run your own email server! You had to be you need to have professionals run that! You need Gmail Yahoo Microsoft? You can't do that yourself as horrible hackers can get in! No

2:16:34 It's actually really cool that she is doing that. I thought so If she is doing it, I don't believe so. She's not. And then I think its an atrocity that here we go We have tech news and I guarantee you no other tech news Is actually going to do all of the work try and find the proof which is simply Not there Unless someone has a email with full headers That's the only way uh...I would be able to see where potentially, where the final server is or if you sent her... If she subscribed to the newsletter we could probably track it. We put some images in there probably

2:17:16 You know, so if she's opening up images and emails. She's not a subscriber to the news. No good try. So I'm very disappointed that Associated Press says she was running the end. She is not a cop to this. She has not said yes. He hasn't said anything now. Oh man there was...I was going to give you a clip that she said something but i couldn't find it. I was listening where she yells what difference does that make? I was listening to Tom Ashbrook on on point and NPR, and he had some woman on. And this is more about the... By the way I think she's really happy with this because at least now the heat is off of

2:17:54 donations from Algeria. Hello? The whole country of Algeria donated money to the Clinton initiative, which this woman was happily saying was routed through to Haiti through the Clinton global initiative to help earthquake survivors. What a joke! Lying sacks of money stealing horrible elitist pricks So, no. There's just...there's no evidence and it's abhorrent to me that this is a disreporting text. But you're talking about this woman that was talking? There was a woman who came on one of the shows. Yeah and I don't have...I didn't clip it but she was just some spokeshole for Hillary and she really was not doing any service. Oh, she didn't know what was going on. She was trying to well here's what I do have. I have Marie Harf who for some reason is now back on the podium

2:18:43 But now Matt's not there. Geez, we can't get the lovebirds together! Yeah I know they put some other guy in Matt's spot... yeah that's i'm a little concerned about it. I hope it's just temporary uh this is Harf arguing with this other guy with you know the cock blocker The new guy and not only that but he's wearing like a palestinian scarf. Yeah right on! That's no good He's cock-blocking Matt. People see it as a black and white checkered like scarf, I have one. I'm worried about that. I picked it up when I was in Dubai actually no I mean when I was in Israel of all places. Yeah of course And people wear this fashion item and its really horrible thing to wear as a fashion item

2:19:30 Anyway, anyway statement yes here. She is she's going to talk about the difference between class and unclassed systems and I would say Hillary Is following this to the letter? I think she's gonna be okay. I do not think you'll run into any trouble with this road I think she's gonna be okay with it Because it's a cabinet member using an unclassified email. But we all use unclassified emails, what are the differences? No most people use most of their work is on a work email but on the work email that's not scanned for classified information either Brad if she had had a state.gov email there wouldn't have been a classification review to make sure everything on that email was unclassified understand but they would have the security in place to handle classified by the way

2:20:14 This guy Brad is just talking out of his butthole. He doesn't really know what that means, he would have the security for classified information... classified system that you can have is a closed network, it's not on the internet. And they have this apparently. Absolutely not! That is patently false and unclassified email systems in the State Department does not have security handling classified information. We weren't talking about an unclassified... She would she would have a classified capacity on her email? No, no, no. The classified and the unclassified systems even at state.gov the

2:20:58 Those aren't scanned for classified information and they are not set up to, from a security perspective handle classified information. But you were saying she did not have a classified or an unclassified email at the State Department? Is that correct? Yes so yes. So presumably if she had done her business at the State Department she could've used a classified email system. She had- No I mean, that would have been available to her. In theory but she had other ways of communicating through classified email through her assistants or staff. This guy stinks! Well what she's saying and what I believe to be true is that just because you have an at state dot gov email does not

2:21:39 mean that it's a classified system. In fact, she saying quite the opposite. Yeah, it's just an email. It's probably running on Gmail where most of these things are running on the official... Most government, lot of the government stuff is in Gmail. Some people have Microsoft Exchange and they have more advanced systems but Gmail is the cheapest way to go and a lot of people do that then ever remember that Vivek Kundra guy? When he first showed up, he was talking about putting all this stuff on these servers. Look at where we are! So why are we spending this money? We should just do it this way. And probably did all of that and I think it was a smart move by Hillary now. In addition... Screw up. Now the thing is in addition to one thing in addition have 20 seconds left on this and then I want to hear what you have to say but in addition

2:22:25 If you're sending email to other people at state.gov, there's a record on the other end that is another point Hillary said with people when she needs use a classified setting what I was saying is our unclassified email systems at the State Department are not the same system as the classified and they are not equipped from a security perspective to handle classified information even if their estate account on the unclassed system So, I'm just...you know. We all use unclassed systems if they don't have classified on them? All right. We all use...I'm using an unclass system? Yeah. All right you wanted to say. You had a point there. No well actually let's play these clips and get this story rounded out by the mainstream media. Okay. Let's begin with Clinton email in NH rundown

CHAPTER 30 / 38 Discussion

Clinton Global Initiative, Email Red Herring Theory

The hosts propose that the Hillary Clinton email scandal is a "red herring" designed to distract from foreign donations to the Clinton Global Initiative. They point out that the existence of the private email was known as early as 2013 following the "Guccifer" hacks. The focus on email technicalities allows the media to avoid discussing billions of dollars donated by countries like Algeria and Saudi Arabia.

hillary clinton· clinton global initiative· saudi arabia· algeria· guccifer· red herring

2:23:12 She's not officially in the presidential race yet, but Hillary Clinton is under tough new scrutiny this week after revelations that she relied exclusively on a private—not government—email account operated from her personal server when she served as Secretary of State. Today, a House Oversight Committee subpoenaed those emails for an ongoing Benghazi investigation. Street Journal's Laura Meckler has been covering the story. Laura, how unusual is it that anybody any Secretary of State would be using a personal email account exclusively?

2:23:49 Well it wasn't that unusual, frankly because there haven't been that many secretaries of state since email became sort of the normal way to communicate in business. Secretary Colin Powell used a personal account his staff confirmed this week. Secretary Rice who followed him evidently didn't use email and then we have Secretary Clinton. Secretary Kerry uses a regular State Department email address himself Okay I know what happened...I know what happened This is a total... this is, ugh. This is so obvious! Don't look over here! Nothing to see here! Ooh, look at that! I figured it out! Well just go! Who broke this story? Who broke the story about the emails? The New York Times And I was watching the-I didn't clip it because I didn't understand and now I wish I had Maybe I can look it up Uh, the journalist who broke the story

2:24:43 Um, hmm. We have to figure out who that is now He was on Morning Joe This is why I didn't understand what was going on And he had a real soft take on it and Mika and Joe were wow we're kind of stunned this guy wasn't out for blood or anything Here's what happened Huge scrutiny on the Clinton global initiative with money being donated billions of dollars coming into the coffers of the Clintons which Hillary's on the door The little girl Chelsea is on the girl on the door at bills on the door and everyone's name is up there This is the real scandal. Oh my god, we need to do anything

2:25:20 we can to distract from it, boom New York Times comes out with this email bullcrap. She already gave the emails a year ago that printed them out whatever we know it's not an actual issue I think it's a complete red herring cover-up to remove the conversation from the foreign country donations to the Clinton family. This is a huge problem with them they have a lot of for the Saudis also big but no one's talking about that anymore No, they're talking about this. Now this was seems to be and you're right This is an old story because this is actually And nobody mentions this by the way cuz I don't think anybody wants to backtrack on it. This actually stems from a this hacker Mitnick a goosepher

2:26:04 Guccifer in March of last year, March 2013. And he went to jail! So this story actually predates his going to jail when he had hacked into Blumenthal's account which was an AOL account and pulled down the emails He discovered the Hillary email address I have here Friday August 2nd 2013 from search dot NA show notes dot com When Colin Powell's email was broken into by Guccifer This is where it started, I think. Probably and anyway the Guccifer guy who's into Slammer...I guess i don't know what..i think somebody you might be right that somebody said well wait a minute we got this kind of nobody gives a shit scandal that we can bring to the fore which will get a lot of attention

2:26:53 And that's exactly what's going on. But the funny thing about The New York Times story and all the rest of it, nobody mentions Guccifer! Well no we wouldn't want to... I looked down this Guccifer thing and i said oh Guccifer We don't want to reveal-we don't want to reveal the scam So I looked and looked and looked, and I found the New York Times didn't talk about Guccifer. The AP didn't talk about Gucci-fur. And then there's Reuters... Nobody! This is the way I got this was again from some like you had. This is some it's not a normal blog, but it's one of these new obscure No, this was from the smoking gun So I don't have I don't have a clip But I do have a a clip of this Do you want to listen to this MS? The morning Joe thing for a second just how weird they were weirded out by this New York Times guy Oh wait that didn't work Why does

2:27:48 Why is this? I need, oh. I'm sorry. I need to... Let me just set the... There we go. I got it. I can fix it! Here we go let's rock and roll! Go! Go! The guy can't get a megaphone It's not like he couldn't have gone on 60 Minutes. It's not like he could've spoken somewhere else He went before Congress- I'm sorry that's not the right one That's about Well, anyway so the woman stays on at news hour. We have a second part of it if you want to play it and its just going to wraps up. Yeah what's the name? Clinton Rundown Part 2. Okay let me put that in and I'll look for that. But exclusively without any other dot gov address involved?

2:28:31 Secretary Kerry, well Secretary Clinton of course just used as you said just use her personal email address. Secretary Powell did in fact do that just to use a personal email as well yes and and have your own personal server they called homebrew which is connected to her home actually how unusual I guess it's unusual for most people but how unusual is that I guess the question is how much does this keep public business private? Well, I think that's the real question here. I think you put your finger on it and as a question why does she have her own not only her own email address and not just get the one that it's assigned to at work like the rest of us do but you know why did she take the additional step to set up her own network now Jeb Bush also had used in personal email address and he also had his own owned his own servers as well

2:29:22 But in his case, he was regularly turning them over to the state. So there was a difference. In the case of Hillary Clinton she didn't turn any of these over for public examination until after she left office and received her request. Well that's one of the questions. She has been under with this Benghazi investigation pretty constant investigation for awhile why are we just hearing now about the existence of this private account? Well, I don't think people really knew that it was only the case. It came out through the committee's investigation as they requested those emails. Now we should say that the State Department did request those emails themselves as part of what they say is a routine effort to comply with federal records keeping requirements and so they asked for all of her e-mails and then subsequently turned some of them over to the House Committee. All right here we go

2:30:07 I had this is the Michael Schmidt from The New York Times who broke the story with Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski. didn't do email according to my reporting Colin Powell did and But the rationale that Hillary's side said was, well we didn't have to have a state account because the emails she was sending were to the State Department and those people's accounts were caged in. Hold on! Talk about the difference between Colin Powell and Hillary Clinton How is it different between what Colin Powell did from 2001... There is no difference. It's not so much as different. There is a difference. What Colin Powell did from 2001-2005

2:30:46 and what Hillary Clinton did in her four years as Secretary of State. Well, Colin Powell's not running for president What else? Did-did Colin Powell release the emails? No, Colin Powell didn't release the emails and Hillary Clinton is the only former secretary of state to actually go back and give the State Department her emails which after I just So this guy is now defending her! The guy who broke the story in The New York Times is saying, oh no she did a good job and wait until you hear their response. and said yes, I had 55 thousand pages of emails. Okay so the difference according to...I believe i read it in your story this morning It must have been your story because you broke it The difference was that when Colin Powell was Secretary of State there weren't the laws in place because we obviously moved into a new era And so once we've moved forward- I'm trying to fast forward this cause I know what's coming just can't do it for some reason The federal government decided that they needed

2:32:01 these accounts is that correct? That's true. There were new regulations between Colin Powell and Hillary Clinton, Colin Powell was not required by law to do this Hillary Clinton was required by law to do this true or not? There were explicit regulations in place when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State that said they had to be retaining her emails on government servers sort of in an active sense right And that was not the case when Colin Powell was Secretary of State, correct? I don't believe so. Okay so now there's a response here. Kudos to The New York Times for breaking the tough news story and putting it on the front page. Yeah, I'm telling you uh... i think your absolutely right and just watching a massive onslaught

2:32:42 lot of hatred from what I've been following on Twitter as Hillary supporters. It's hard, there is a big wall around her of people who work very hard to protect you. I wonder because they are absolutely brutal Mika. I wonder if the New York Times reporter himself was getting abuse through the night because his interview with us was a strange interview? I think we have it, but we have another story to get too. I think we need to be careful how we say it because there was something else happening in this interview and you wonder about that if the fear of retribution or something gets into your head. No no she's got at the wrong... they're right somethings weird with The New York Times guy. Yeah they got him backwards They got him backwards! This was set up to cover-up the other story

2:33:34 Wow. Alright, well we've solved... I like the way that you were getting it backwards he does even a better job and draws even more attention Fantastic! To this bullcrap story So they're by the way... Implicit in these two, great This is the bull crap story And we figured it out. If Hillary became president, I hope she'd have her own server and she would just give people a clue that you don't need to be on these Gmail... Oh! The only reason she got busted was because this other guy was on AOL But not even busted? This is set up just-this is all known, this is an old story She did get busted back in

2:34:12 two years ago. Exactly, when the guy came across her email on this with Blumenthal and the only reason that would even happen in the first place because these places these big systems that are they're not secure And the government's always asking for, give us all the emails and... Adam. Google scans your email for Google Now to see what you're doing to alert you. Of course it is not secure. It is built into it that is being read processed. Anyway so when you are around the water cooler today tomorrow or rest of week and people are talking about Hillary's emails a lot of you will be talking about this because your dude name Ben or dudette name Bennett

2:34:49 And people will be like, oh, what can we...not safe email. Serve at your home! You just say this is all a red herring has nothing to do with that whatsoever. This is all old news. This was to cover up the donations from Saudi Arabia, Algeria and other countries of billions of dollars to the Clinton Global Initiative which for all intents and purposes, we don't see go anywhere but into the Clintons pocket in their hotels in Haiti. Well again how did Bill Clinton become worth half a billion dollars overnight? Magic! I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that! Oh yeah, that'd be fab! On No Agenda! Morning! And we do have some people to thank for Show 701. You gotta hand it to the Clintons man. They're geniuses. Top notch criminal organization. Top notch. They know how to do this. Hey you see that problem of billions of dollars? Gone!

Vaccine Shedding, Immunocompromised Safety Warnings

A discussion on public health warnings suggests that recently vaccinated individuals may spread diseases to the immunocompromised. Citing a Johns Hopkins patient guide, the hosts note that live vaccines for measles, rubella, and chickenpox can pose a risk to those with weakened immune systems. This "asymptomatic" spread is proposed as a factor in recent outbreaks.

johns hopkins· measles· mmr· vaccine shedding· immunocompromised· public health

2:44:37 This is from, I think this is on CNBC. Let me see... Unfortunately not a clip. I love it when they do clips but It was just an article. Public health officials know and this says, physicians and public health officials know that recently vaccinated individuals can spread disease and that contact with immunocompromised can be especially dangerous And I think this needs to be discussed because of these so-called outbreaks of 100 people, which is kind of the same that it's all every year. It's about a hundred and 150 comes to measles and MMR? Is it maybe possible that because of the strong push towards vaccination revaccination adult vaccination, that maybe they're forgetting to tell these people to stay away from small children for awhile or whatever anyone who was immunocompromised

2:45:36 and that this is actually spreading some of this disease. Would they go over this logic again? Okay, physicians and public health officials know that recently vaccinated individuals can spread disease and that contact with the immunocompromised can be especially dangerous For example, John Hopkins' patient guide warns the immunocompromised to quote avoid contact with children who are recently vaccinated and to tell friends and family who are sick or have recently had a live vaccine such as chicken pox measles rubella intranasal influenza polio or smallpox not to visit. I'd not order this." Oh okay so what you're saying let me summarize

2:46:17 You get a shot in one of these modern vaccines and you actually, you end up with the version of the disease is mild. That's why you get rid of it? And then you roam around and give people the disease by accident. I don't think its that strong of a person not sneezing or coughing on them. Well this is an official document apparently an official warning. That's a very interesting warning because I've never heard that this was a problem. Well, John Hopkins has this in their patient guide And if it is because there's such a push for these types of vaccinations, maybe people are getting vaccinated. Hey I'm safe! I'm all good! I'm going to school!" But they're like that... That's an example of being like a typhoid Mary. Yeah yeah. Asymptomatic. Yeah i'm gonna have to talk about infecting everybody. I'll have to ask some people. Maybe that's what they want? Okay hello conspiracy theory

CHAPTER 34 / 38 Discussion

MH370 Putin Theory, Conspiracy Labeling

New York Magazine published a theory suggesting Vladimir Putin was involved in the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. The hosts mock the mainstream media's sudden acceptance of "conspiracy theories" when they target Russia. They also criticize the use of the term "conspiracy tard" by other tech podcasters.

mh370· putin· new york magazine· leo laporte· conspiracy theory· malaysia airlines

2:47:14 I wanted to mention that a lot of people have sent me this MH37, the missing Malaysia Airlines. So not the one that was brought down or was downed... Yeah the original. Yeah so New York Magazine has this wild crazy conspiracy theory about this which yeah it's a conspiracy theory. Is just the one about the batteries? It's the one about being Putin! It's a Putin theory? Yeah, it's a Putin theory that Putin hijacked. And lots of people are talking about this. It has gone mainstream and so I just wanted to mention that apparently a conspiracy theory which on some shows are called conspiracy tards

2:47:55 I thought that was interesting. Did you hear this? No, i haven't but i'm sure i will This was that uh... Those guys are conspiracy tards Yeah this was that loony film girl on twit with Leo and they're laughing about conspiracy tards since when can the word retard is now okay we can say that too or we can't say retard we can only say conspiracy tard Anyway, it's a reference to retard of course. It is so conspiracy tarry very politically incorrect to use car really wrong Yes Yeah Now we use it all the time because we like retards We don't care with big-ass water heads and stuff funny would like them this cool They got especially if they win the euro cuz I'm not retards are down syndromes different. Oh yeah, they're down Sorry, I don't you know I have actually against all this yeah well yes me too however

2:48:42 I feel that it needs to be said, it is not okay to sanction a conspiracy theory if the payoff is Putin did it. Because that's what it is! Yeah you're not a conspiracy tard if Putin is involved because... He's involved with everything! The guy's evil! We know the guy's no good. Exactly. Horrible horrible man I don't think... We got a note from our Russia propagandist who's always sending us really good stuff actually most of the time. Yeah, for sure. Saying, you know because we bitched about it as being a Putin stooge and he said, not a Putin stooge! Yeah yeah, he did send that, I saw that but i got an email from Sub7zero is our guy in Damascus? And this was completely underreported but very important to mention that Harakat Hazm

CHAPTER 35 / 38 Discussion

Syrian Rebels, Al-Qaeda Merger and SNL ISIS Skit

The Syrian rebel group Harakat Hazm, previously backed by the U.S., has reportedly disbanded and joined the Al-Qaeda-aligned Jabhat al-Nusra. This merger places U.S.-supplied TOW missiles in the hands of terrorists. Additionally, a Saturday Night Live skit parodying ISIS recruitment is discussed, along with MSNBC's fearful reaction to the comedy.

harakat hazm· al-nusra· al-qaeda· syria· snl· isis

2:49:41 which is the Syrian rebel group, which the White House has deemed as the trusted militias. The moderates they have now announced they are disbanding their units and folding them into brigades aligned with Jabhat al-Nusra giving them all of the TOW missiles that the US gave them. Jabhat al-Nusra is Al Qaeda So they are folding their... I guess it's a merger of sorts. Merger acquisition, M&A And this is no one reporting on this and i'm sorry but when this group says they're joining Jabhat al-Nusra it is now Al Qaeda

2:50:32 And the end so al-Qaeda is now in possession of the weapons that we have been giving to these so called moderates in Syria It's nuts people. It's not it's nuts freaking nuts how he just get out his nuts Yeah, why no is of course? I'm not gonna do that too much fun We need to get I know yeah, we were good once we have Assad out then then we can do that Then I do head this kind of I do have one last clip. I'd like to play This is the rev I know, well it was all over the Rev. The Rev because a lot of discussion about the Saturday Night Live spoof commercial which i thought was very funny yeah I'm sure you saw this one no? You didn't?

2:51:17 You did or you did not? No. It's like a car commercial and the father is bringing his daughter to what you think is college, and be careful, do you need walking around with money I love you have a good time but be careful she gets out of the car and says dad it's just ISIS then she gets on the back of a Toyota with 50 cal with a bunch of ISIS guys saying death to America was funny I thought it was great Making light of the dumbness of the situation and this is going too far. And now listen to these a-holes. Miller, is it funny or is it in poor taste? I mean did it go too far what do you think? I didn't think it was funny that's my personal opinion What good tastes and bad tastes can be debated but I think about this Is the risk worth it My office is a block away from here on the other side of Rockefeller Center so if somebody

2:52:04 wants to retaliate for this because we know that this is an organization and a group of people that are so committed to what they believe, and so against the idea of this freedom of speech. They punish us for doing things that we take for granted. Oh hey! This is MSNBC like let's shut up and let's not say anything because they might retaliate and I might get killed in my office one block away from Rockefeller Center per se I don't want to be sitting in the ebony offices and lose my life because somebody thought it was funny to play fast and loose with Isis. You have another pet peeve Somebody says something like her line. I didn't think it was funny, that's my personal opinion. It is obviously your personal opinion if i say I don't know...I didn't like the movie That's my personal opinio- yeah of course its your personal opinion you just said it! Why do you have to say this is your personal opinion? If you say Adam Curry You say well I didnt like..i dont like that car I think it sucks Thats my personal opinion

2:53:08 Why would I think it's not your personal opinion? I asked you if you like the car. I didn't ask you what The New York Times thinks of the car, I didn't ask you that whatever other people think in the car asked you and then you tell me what do you think of the car You do not have to add That's my personal opinion to that comment because is obviously your personal opinion though come back to that is What the fuck? Do you think I'm an idiot?! Of course it's your personal opinion, jerks! It kept firing. It wanted to play. It couldn't stop. Oh good John yes Just bugs me so I go yeah i'm not a stupid moron and I know what your personal opinion you don't have to say at your personal opinion as if I'm wondering oh I wonder what he just said if that's his personal opinion or not maybe got it from someone else and he's just telling it to me I don't know

2:54:00 I'm sorry. No, it's just Amen give you an amen fist thank you very much work. You know well It's going to get- wait, I have to finish because that's your pet peeve. So you don't like it when people do that My pet peeve is when you have some pompous ass Brit coming over here talking like he knows what our constitution is about. Precisely the point? Isn't that the whole point of free speech? That we can't allow the parameters of our national con- Actually maybe Australia. by the most violent voice in the room. It's a bit like the Sony hacks, I mean unless we want to live in a world in which North Korean dictators and Islamist fascists are the ones who determine what we can and can't say what jokes we can and can't tell whom we do and do not mock then the price of free speech is taking that risk. Hey show me your green card dude! Who are you? Who was this we you talk about? I don't like that No. I don't like those guys come on talking about our Constitution our free speech... You're in a prison colony for a reason

CHAPTER 36 / 38 Discussion

Ben Carson, Sexuality Comments and Media Marginalization

Ben Carson faced backlash after suggesting that sexuality is a choice, citing the behavior of people in prison as an example. The hosts argue that while the comment was politically damaging, Carson's subsequent point about legal rights versus the definition of marriage was nuanced. They predict the media will use the "gay jail guy" narrative to marginalize his presidential campaign.

ben carson· sexuality· prison· marriage equality· media bias· presidential race

2:55:01 And there go the Australian donations for show 70702 There will be no Australian donations for they know I'm just kidding. They know I'm kidding Yeah, we didn't get much for this show actually the Australia zero zero zero zero It's maybe 700 may be a bad number I just have I actually do have one more clip which I thought was interesting because This is Ben Carson who is effectively now out of the race He can never become president again because he did the unthinkable. He said something about the gays and And the thing he said about the gays is being gay is a personal choice. You're not born with it, you're not born this way. Hey Gaga! It's a choice and this... ...is very very bad if you want to run for president This was almost like the Dean scream as far as I'm concerned He can never outlive this. It was like bye-bye Felicia, he can't do it however

2:56:00 You can't do it. As much as Ben Carson is an interesting character, extremely smartest guy in the room probably smarter than the two of us combined he is a humorless stick-in-the mud He does not have the personality to get very far in an election He is just a...and he knows he's a know-it-all. He is a know it all, probably does know most of what he says. It's not like bullshit. Yeah, yeah, he actually knows it all, yeah. But it's just annoying. But here's what interesting...here's what interesting. This happened on I don't know some show but probably another MSNBC, I don't know what it is but there's a kicker because the next line that he delivered nuances what he was saying to a large degree

2:56:42 Which of course you will never hear mention anywhere because that's not important. We just need to know he is dumb about gays. The judicial system at the state level has to answer to the people What if people in a state vote for law 100-0, that winds up infringing on the rights of minority like happened very often with slavery Like many would argue happening now with ppl who are gay Our constitution was followed and we corrected those things. And isn't that what's happening right now with same-sex marriage? It is being corrected as a form of violation of equal protection No, you can't just say because it happened that way this time this is the same situation. It's not the same situation because people have no control

2:57:26 over their race, for instance. You think they have control over their sexuality? Absolutely! You think being gay is a choice? Absolutely Why do you say that? Because... A lot of people who go into prison Go into prison straight and when they come out they're gay Now I just want to stop for a second As if by curious male It's very possible That if I went to jail I would come out gay I don't necessarily agree with Mr. Carson on this, you know if i'm there for 10 years yeah I might fall in love with some dude sure it could happen so I don't think its good but the kicker is what he was actually talking about after this faux pas So did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question You bet! There's a whole theory of dominance Wait a minute...I said alot of people who go and come out are you denying that thats true

2:58:15 I am not denying that that's true, but I am denying that is a basis of understanding homosexuality. If in fact that is the case then it obviously thwarts what you just said A lot of people go into jail as a drug addict and they come out as a criminal Does that mean all drug addicts are criminals? Here's what important Why do gay people want to get married? Because they want to have various rights. Property rights, visitation rights... They want their commitment to count just like mine and my wife's. Why can't any two human beings I don't care what their sexual orientation is why can't they have the legal right to do those things That's what they're fighting for Okay that does not require changing the definition of marriage He's Right!

2:58:58 Finally, someone who actually says it. We should...no matter the government should not legislate marriage. Periods! That's a very funny clip I'm going to give you a Clip of the Day for that Really? If you can find it No, of course I can find it Thank you very much I wasn't actually expecting it And well you shouldn't have But that was actually very interesting what he said. See, this is the problem with the guy's too clever. First of all, he doesn't play the political correctness game... Too clever for his own good! He screwed himself by trying to do something really intelligent. Yeah, he doesn't understand the media and he doesn't understand... This guy is kind of a dummy for the smartest guys in the room. That's what happens with smarties. So yeah, so he outsmarted himself

2:59:43 and comes around with a... if you listen to the whole thing, which nobody will do right? Nobody will give it. No one will ever play that, which is why you got the clip of the day because it was well worth making this point This is never gonna happen and no one else will play that and no one else understand what he's trying to accomplish with this conversation now we know Ben Carson will go down in his history as the gay jail guy Okay, yeah guarantee that's what you want to do. You just find you have to find some way to marginalize the guy and diminished with some amen Some oh some oh damn You have to marginalize the guy and you have to diminutise his stature. You gotta pound him down, beat him down. Beat him into submission? Yeah well he's been beaten so that's a way it goes but again he is humorless guy who has no karma...no charisma I mean. Charasma! He got no charisma! Can we just play this Snowden stuff and get it out of the way then were done? And then were done yeah ok what do ya want?

CHAPTER 37 / 38 Discussion

Daniel Ellsberg, Espionage Act and Snowden Defense

Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg discussed the use of the Espionage Act against Edward Snowden. Ellsberg argued that the law was never intended for those providing information to the American public. Snowden himself stated that a fair trial is impossible because he would be barred from presenting a "public interest" defense in court.

daniel ellsberg· edward snowden· espionage act· fair trial· whistleblower

3:00:44 Yeah, let's go with—I got a bunch of Snowden stuff. Let's start with the Snowden—the whole thing about Snowden is he wants to give himself up. I think this is Democracy Now! or Al Jazeera. I'm not sure. But it's Snowden won't-face death penalty thing. An attorney for Edward Snowden has reasserted the NSA whistleblower's willingness to come home Anatoly Kucherina says a team of international lawyers continues to work on terms that would see Snowden return to the United States. Kucherina says Snowden is prepared to end his asylum in Russia, on the condition he's given a guarantee of a legal and impartial trial," unquote. To date, the Justice Department has only guaranteed he won't face the death penalty.

3:01:25 Oh, some guarantee. Thanks! Woohoo! Good work So you had... I believe this was News Hour but it was Daniel Ellsberg came on to discuss stuff He's back again with what? Yeah he comes and goes And he talks to Snowden once in a while Well they're both on the board of that Grant Greenwell Don't Raph That journalist thing and John Terry Barlow is on it There is a drinking club at Best who never meets Drinking Club We don't actually play both these clips, but the first part of it is interesting because he explains exactly what's going on. You know we keep losing...we lose light of the fact that there is a

3:02:06 specific law that they're throwing. For all practical purposes, I've talked to people about dead letter laws and the Espionage Act is a dead letter law that they revised. They brought it from the dead specifically for Ellsberg and now they revisited it again with the Obama administration finding people you know subject to this Espionage Act and Ellsberg explains it so we understand it. I did this clearly at my own jeopardy and I am prepared to answer all the consequences of this decision. Do you think Snowden is facing the consequences? Actually, Snowden and I have been charged with very similar charges which by the way are not charged with espionage. With spying although it's often described that way colloquially as violations of the Espionage Act 18 USC 793 paragraphs DNE. I happen to know those because i was the first person ever charged under those for giving information Is that a fair charge against Snowden do you think?

3:03:05 Is that the proper charge for what he did? The Espionage Act, which includes those paragraphs was never meant to be used against people who gave information to the American public. It was meant for spies actually who give information secretly to a foreign government especially during wartime. The First Amendment really should prevent any such criminal act which is like the British Official Secrets Act And? And. It's a obviously it is a trumped up situation they don't have any good law to go after these guys with but because they did it this way I think Ellsberg explains this in the second part of the clip, uh they can do like a kangaroo court with the guy. Exactly!

3:03:50 Nobody needs him. argue in court or present any testimony or evidence that you did this for the benefit of the United States. So he can't even present his own defense? I just want to play for you something that Snowden said about the prospects for a fair trial, were he to come back listen to this Do you think a fair trial would even be possible? Thanks. I would love to go back and face a fair trial, but unfortunately as you surmised in your question there is no fair trial available on offer right now i've been working exhaustively with the government now since i left

3:04:39 to try to find terms of a trial which would allow the public to look at these issues. It would be open, it would be clear we wouldn't have any abuse procedure where we'd say oh yeah we've got all this great evidence against him but it's classified so you can't know it Anyway, this is just a phony baloney deal. We have to always remember to be aware of that now sounds funny baloney as an aside If you listen to that Snowden clip it was out of phase yes well It was phasing action at out of it was facing yeah I I would like to know if anybody out there is an Audacity, it's not audacity whatever it's called. Yeah, Audacity. Audacity user which has a million filters and fixes. It's got all kinds of cool stuff that people design for can fix this in a mono track? I would really like to know how to do it because I've heard this before. Okay, okay. I'm sure we can do that. It's doable. Everything's doable with sound.

CHAPTER 38 / 38 Discussion

Net Neutrality, EPA Precedent and Title II

The FCC's net neutrality ruling is expected to be challenged in court based on a Supreme Court precedent involving the EPA. The court previously ruled that agencies cannot "tailor" or "jigger" clear statutory language to fit new circumstances. Netflix's recent complaints about the ruling suggest that the "overreach" of Title II may have unintended consequences for content delivery networks.

net neutrality· fcc· epa· title ii· supreme court· netflix

3:05:39 I put in the show notes because someone asked me for it and i just want to make mention of this before we go. Why the packet inequality, a packet equality net neutrality will be beaten down in court and I've mentioned several times this is because there is precedent jurisprudence with the EPA another agency and the EPA was not allowed to regulate greenhouse gases in a Supreme Court ruling because they tailored, which I think the FCC when we finally see their 300 page document. I think they called it jiggered with Title 2 and here is the relevant piece

3:06:18 The EPA was wrong to tailor the statutory thresholds of how much of a given pollutant... ...a facility may emit before it needs a permit. The statute contains thresholds that, if applied to greenhouse gases,... ..would be extremely constricting requiring permits at millions of facilities To avoid that, EPA raised the threshold under its quote tailoring authority The court holds that it did not have the authority to do so. Quote, EPA lacked authority to tailor the act's unambiguous numerical thresholds The power to execute the laws does not include a power to revise clear statutory terms that turn out not to work in practice. And this is the problem because Title II does not fit broadband, they're going to change Title II, jigger it, tailor it whatever and this is why it will be struck down in court." I think you're right. They're gonna have to otherwise it makes no sense and the joke of this whole thing of course is the recent complaints by Netflix

3:07:17 which didn't expect this result. And there's all kinds of news articles about that you can read, Netflix is irked! They thought these guys overreached. This is not what we're looking for because Netflix knows the following can happen I believe Netflix is effective and people like watching it, and it works well. It actually works if you have a high enough bandwidth that works out well on Comcast even though they do have peering going up but generally speaking Netflix has their little appliances in every ISPs home sitting right there with the regular servers buzzing around as the cash box. It's like terabytes and terabytes of movies that are most watched

3:07:54 And if the way they're presenting this net neutrality, as far as I can tell. If I was like Voodoo or any of these other services where nobody wants my boxes because it costs too much to run them... These boxes are expensive to run. I would demand these boxes be removed! This isn't fair! It's not fair to have a Google box right here, you know, Google...because you'll notice this people. You'll watch Google videos that are popular in the cat video of the day. Oh! That is so funny and then you watch it or somebody sends you link to some old video from years ago and you try to watch it. It stops and goes, it doesn't buffers because it's on the main servers as they don't have it on the cache, on their device. Exactly, exactly. And so far as I'm concerned

3:08:41 Because I have a little video, like Vimeo or these other guys that do these competitive server farms for videos. They don't have these boxes necessarily and nobody... Yeah so they're like get the Google box out of there! This is unfair! So all the videos would be crap. Well as far as i'm concerned it can all be crap, I don't care. Screw y'all with your damn videos. Alright, so... phew! I gotta- we got a skedaddle, I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta- Am I actually still on the air with you? This is pretty crazy.
