Scrub In!

00:00 It's kind of like the herpes of computers. Adam Curry, John C. DeVorah. It's Sunday March 22nd 2015 time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 706! This is no agenda Proving the emperors have no clothes now twice a week broadcasting live from the crackpot condo in downtown Austin, Texas FEMA region 6 in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where it rained 1 100th of an inch last night. The drought is over I'm John C Devorah I was talking about that with someone yesterday That this California supposed to run out of water any year

00:41 Yeah, that turns out to be a...in fact I tweeted this. Turns out to be bull crap it was an article as clickbait that was created by the Los Angeles Times. Okay because here with my first impression and I did not dive into it I thought really how do they know exactly if it's going to rain or not in this year? You know but how much do we know that people are going to consume? They must have some model but I don't think it's necessarily something they can really know right Clickbait. Well tell me what the click bait was, I want to know! That was the click bait they dreamed this phony headline up Really? And then didn't really back it up with any story and that but the headline got out there and that was that Really?! Yeah It wasn't based on any survey or anything like this No its click bait might as well have been a sponsored link Wow okay let me just see what it was

01:34 You have NASA, California down to one year supply of water. Are you telling me that they quoted NASA and it was clickbait? Well apparently the NASA data is not... Why's NASA involved in all this weather stuff all of a sudden? Did you notice this? Yeah! Of course because they got satellites and stuff or something like that. Everyone has satellites Oh here's The LA Times now saying no California won't run out of water in a year There ya go they had to draw back on their click bait Okay Well, where's the NASA fit into this now with a new headline? I don't know. In-depth Los Angeles article Wednesday...I think they really meant this John! I don't believe that this was clickbait. I think they really had some information they thought was appropriate to put into a story

02:20 Type I gotta look into this. This is worth looking into well, I'm Because it can do it But as people have taken that this is what we do deconstruct media people have now taken this as fact It is already a meme you can't even You can't even tell people it's not true Can't tell people anything On the best podcast in the universe So it came back from Pointer here's pointer one of the top journalist watchdogs Los Angeles Times headline denounced as clickbaits There's a bunch of this if you look up if you do out-of-water click bait You find it is a ton of stories

03:10 Think it's worth looking into this. There's a reason that this is done and someone tried to benefit from it somehow You know, that's what went on clickbait does the benefits against page views? It gets people to look at the dumb ads I am only few people know that fact right? I have some some interesting clips for global warming climate change agenda 21 coming up today on the show and But of course I re-entered the country once again, John. On Friday coming back from the lowlands Re-entering the country with the...I'm now completely convinced this is my second time Bogus global entry system Oh yeah you're blowing it for all these guys You're gonna get some nasty notes Now we already went through the

04:01 We know, okay? Okay. No, but this is very important. This is very important. So I have an iPhone six and I set it up with the fingerprint scanner mainly just to see how it works and you know this isn't all in let's face it yeah no I'm the canary yeah no there you go I caught myself. Yeah I caught myself uh I am only the canary in the coal mine I'm not all-in that is an insult But that's okay. That is the typical chat room now, if that's what you do. Uh-huh yeah W O L D Thank you very much You're all in now

04:42 So I set up the iPhone 6 you are only Would you just like the iPhone 6? I do. I like it very much and a ball in because I'm convinced It's not gonna make any difference They're not going to be able to advertise them properly Andy, but why Why does it like JC and all these other people? I know they were big iPhone users for awhile They hate the iPhones don't know I don't care. I'm trying to get to the global entry thing. I don't care. I'm sorry I'm sorry if you were using Android I wouldn't be so concerned There's a reason for this. The reason is when you set up your fingerprint scan, it takes... You have to hold your finger down for each thumb or finger you have to hold it down and then you have to keep doing this probably 10-20 times before it has a full reading on your fingerprint When I did the interview they had these little red boxes with the red kind of plastic glass on top of it Or whatever that is Maybe it is glass? I don't know You put your four fingers On that

05:39 Yes, four fingers not your thumb. Only your fingers not your thumb all you're saying are you trying to be a dick? No because when you say forefinger I'm thinking of the pointer finger and i'm trying to clarify whether You're just putting your forefinger on like you for number four don't put four fingers on the iphone number 4 Four fingers on the glass plate Okay, right so it is reading four fingerprints at once And I only had to keep it on there for, I will say max five seconds. Oh we've got it done So this apparently is a very very sophisticated fingerprint reader. I bet! But I've seen these boxes for at least ten years At Immigrations the same but I don't think there's been any upgrade out that at least externally there hasn't been

06:25 So I was already impressed by the speed with which that was done compared to the crème de la crème of technology today, which takes considerably longer to set up your fingerprints. When you come in and we landed in Atlanta and there's the global entry kiosks... There are a couple changes A couple changes to the process. But still, you come in and enter your passport. You don't even need this global entry card. It has an RFID chip in it which you never use. I'm not sure why but I have this card. Okay fine. Put your passport in and then it says please get ready for the picture. They didn't say that before. Remember when they only caught my chin? And they still let me through so I had to crouch down and it takes my picture

07:16 and then you click on next, and then it says now put your fingers... And it's the same red type device that's built in this kiosk. You know the red glass? Put your fingers on and within one second It's already scanned because it has like 1 2 3 4 you see on the screen you see four boxes around Like little make-believe fingerprints. And I took my finger right off at that moment! I took my whole hand right off and it went oh good we're good to go So faster than the iPhone 6 can approve my fingerprint to unlock the phone, this thing did four fingerprints check me against the database somewhere. I'm not some kind of horrible criminal they're going to let me in all it had to do was now push the no-to-all option for all the customs questions which you know the piece of paper if you've ever landed from abroad you have to say you know do you have cash? You have nuts and fruits? You hookers dead hookers? No

08:16 And the only thing that changed now is to say, are you sure? You said no to all. That's all and walk right through it. John I'm telling this fingerprint reader is bogus. I do not believe at all... Here here's what I'm thinking. I am going to take the government side on this. Okay good there is no way this would be bogus because if they were busted for that day somebody would get fired although probably not the way things go You go in, first you've checked in already with your passport so it's going immediately to the database and looking you up. Let me ask you a question before you continue... You are the guy who watches CSI and all these shows on the big networks

08:55 Now, for all the crazy things they do with rotate zoom enhance you know oh look at that little reflection in the guys right in this spoon or whatever. Yeah yeah look at it whenever they do a fingerprint scan it's all it takes like an hour and you see them you see flashing by and then narrows it down It's never a second ever! No but let me finish You've already checked in with the passport They know who you are right? Yes So immediately it already has your fingerprint data. It's not comparing you to everybody in the Western Hemisphere, it's got the data and is probably hashed. It's probably some sort of hash data where... Oh! Salted Hash?

09:39 Where you have already put the it's gonna come out with some value and it's gonna be a range of values based on your fingerprints So it's got your name already, and then I get a photo which is probably that. I would say as bogus because they're not looking at anything There's nobody there's nobody know they don't care manning this store in that regard But hey cuz they took a picture chin And we already know they didn't do anything so they take their phony picture Which is giving it more time to look up your fingerprints? You put your hand down there, it's already got your fingerprints. It says is this anything close? Yes, good you're out of here." I don't see it being what you're suspecting it to be some elaborate system... Let me tell you something, this I agree with that makes total sense. There is no elaborate back end all it does is when the minute I... Okay this makes sense, I agree with you. You put in your passport, it's now bringing up all the information it has that should go reasonably quick I think

10:32 Although still, I think it's amazingly fast. Maybe... Well there is probably only a quarter of that data if there is even 100 thousand people in that database. Good point good point Let us say there is a person This would make sense so they are not actually seeking to see if I have any felony issues or if there is any problem unless its on my record It doesn't make any difference and then as long as theres kind of an approximate match on the fingerprints Okay ill buy that Ill buy that This whole thing just seems weird Well, it's just like verifying that you're the real holder of the passport. I think that's all he is doing because you're already qualified to come in Okay So they just want to verify your ID and they say okay here is a passport now let us take a picture and take a look at his fingerprints Is that the same guy? Yeah, I think so Let him go Alright Well, of course this also your pre-check number

11:21 The global entry serves as pre-check and maybe I'm just a little irked as i read about this known felon who got pre-checked from the airline. Oh yeah when the airlines do it? Well so, the AP story on this... So what he's a felon you can fly around if you're a felon No, I don't think so. I think if you're wanted... You're not grounded if you're a felon? Well here's the story of key lawmaker blah blah blah Bernie okay all these douchebags Homeland Security Department inspector general announced Thursday a felon convicted of murder and explosives related offenses. I think that's the guy you want to put on a list

12:03 was allowed to pass through TSA's pre-checked security lane designed for passengers who were considered a low security risk. I think if you have explosives related offensives, you should probably be evaluated But I always thought it was the airlines who could just randomly add you to the if you're a frequent flyer etc Or in your case, but whatever you are. You seem to get on the TSA does our PSA PSA? PSA TSA whose coincidence but if what is literally TSA who approves people randomly too To be added to pre-check and that's what happened in this case It was not the airline

12:43 It was the TSA communicating to the airline saying, oh let's put these random people on the pre-check list. Why would they randomize a bunch of people? I'll tell you why! The only reason... well randomize if they do. I think they let people like this on because they want to let them on maybe to get a story i don't know what it is but yeah they randomly allow...I think it's for traffic management for the lines they randomly allow more people into PreCheck even though a trusted traveler. Well, let's go back to your trip. You came in...did you have any incidents whatsoever? What did Chrissy do? She hasn't got the goes thing. She has to go on her regular line. Yes and it took a long time. In fact the immigrant line went faster than the residence line strangely enough so no she couldn't come in with me So you had to wait for her Yeah well it took a long time to wait for the luggage anyway and we had oversized baggage this time coming back

13:41 We had a box with the pole. Now I was reading over the weekend that there's two or three places in the world, there's Dublin is one of them...I guess it's Abu Dhabi is another one and maybe a third where if you're in Europe and you fly to Dublin and then fly from Dublin to the US They do all the customs and immigration... Oh, they do it in Ireland itself I think. In Dublin? Yeah, in Dublin. There's a couple of places that do that thing there are some Caribbean islands that do this. Right, right. That's the other place. And in fact now I know the group is... Some places in the Caribbean, Abu Dhabi, Dublin and Canada.

14:33 Yeah, that makes sense. Most of the time you check in Canada. You're not checking... Anyways I thought... You can land in a regular terminal! You don't land in this crappy international terminal and have to wait with a bunch of immigrants from Somalia. Ah yes it's always them. So back in Austin good to be back South by Southwest this is the last weekend that's winding down so you drive into the city and people look kind Rained on cats, you know. They're all tired and the dirty and stanky Was it raining? Yes very very much so actually apparently was a pretty good South by but it's supposed to rain during south by Southwest It always does and The uber drivers which is relatively new I mean, I think that was there last year But now it's really everyone's using uber

15:25 This is apparently everybody who gets into an uber immediately hits the driver up for weed. So I don't know if uh, If this is uh, really they succeed Yeah yeah and I have a feeling that's probably the best place to get your weed Is the uber drivers? Uh now well if I was a cop I'd get an uber account and it had nothing but fun Oh They're doing all kinds of thing like that I think I told you that Uber had been kicked off the airport they weren't allowed to Pick up Affairs at the airport, but they because they didn't have a deal with them like Lyft did lyft is paying 10% of all Airport pickups and uber now cut a deal for I think 40 days or something They're paying $2,500 a day for airport rights. Oh Yeah, that's interesting

16:16 and see how that hashes out. I think Uber is going to buy up all transportation companies, all taxi companies. The whole idea of the sharing economy is just a red herring screw it these guys want to be big they want they want to own all delivery, all limos, all taxis buses they might have trains God knows what else are gonna do? I think...I really think the whole sharing thing is bogus. I think it's just over train. It's yeah Yeah, well think about it. Why would you name your company Uber in the first place? You are the Uber of all transportation Well, you can get a lot of leverage if you get you know us a lot of attention to a lot of yeah that net Capitalization is way up there in the billions for whatever 40 or 50 or some crazy amount you got a lot of stock to play with

17:01 And I've been driving with professional drivers who work, you know certainly in Europe and the Netherlands. They're cab drivers that are licensed they're official and they just like the way it works to set up the communication you can have with your customer it's crazy that works perfectly! I think if our Uber why would I want a bunch of douchebags who are a pain in the ass? It's like running a podcast network If you got these uber drivers who aren't officially licensed and insured etc. Yeah, everyone's a pain in the ass I'm not getting enough ride promotion And they're probably sick and tired of it they gotta have driver relations management Just get the professional guys buy them all up and then It's perfect yeah

17:52 Think is the way right? That's the thing that's being outlawed in all these countries. Is the unlicensed unquote unquote amateur drivers you watch Okay, what else that said you did I'm not hearing anything again a European report or any such thing No, I don't have much to say there just wasn't much going on besides the fact that it was cold and rainy And there's nothing going on and we're all afraid of Putin over. There. That's all there is Well, I've got a story from Europe then okay? I hate to tell you to do this but you're gonna have to open the climate gate Oh, I'm happy to do that as good because I've got some climate gates stuff to talk about here It goes to the gate to the key to the climate gate

18:32 So I've got this Mont Saint-Michel clip which as I listened to the story, something didn't make any sense to me. And I have this clip here. Can we play it? Yeah, please play. And finally Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy briefly turned back into an island thanks to the super tide of the century. Thousands of visitors turned out to witness a dramatic event And here's what some of them had to say. We know that the Mont Saint-Michel becomes an island where there are important tides, and as today is the tide of the century, as they say... Well we'll see what it's like when the Mont Saint Michel has become an island! We really hope to see the moon surrounded by water, as we have never seen that before The high spring tide was caused by this so called super moon effect linked to Friday solar eclipse

17:52 Think is the way right? That's the thing that's being outlawed in all these countries. Is the unlicensed unquote unquote amateur drivers you watch Okay, what else that said you did I'm not hearing anything again a European report or any such thing No, I don't have much to say there just wasn't much going on besides the fact that it was cold and rainy And there's nothing going on and we're all afraid of Putin over. There. That's all there is Well, I've got a story from Europe then okay? I hate to tell you to do this but you're gonna have to open the climate gate Oh, I'm happy to do that as good because I've got some climate gates stuff to talk about here It goes to the gate to the key to the climate gate

18:32 So I've got this Mont Saint-Michel clip which as I listened to the story, something didn't make any sense to me. And I have this clip here. Can we play it? Yeah, please play. And finally Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy briefly turned back into an island thanks to the super tide of the century. Thousands of visitors turned out to witness a dramatic event And here's what some of them had to say. We know that the Mont Saint-Michel becomes an island where there are important tides, and as today is the tide of the century, as they say... Well we'll see what it's like when the Mont Saint Michel has become an island! We really hope to see the moon surrounded by water, as we have never seen that before The high spring tide was caused by this so called super moon effect linked to Friday solar eclipse

19:33 And we'll leave you here with these beautiful images. We actually saw a little bit of the eclipse as we were departing from the Netherlands. Oh, that's cute! Yeah it was not much... Let me ask you about Mont Saint-Michel? No I don't know anything about it. Is this island going to tip over or what? Yes, yes, the island is gonna tip over. It's in the northern part of France. It's like a whole city on an island that I was always under the impression since this story, I never knew that the island was there just sitting there and there's been no water around it forever. And this guy who is a Frenchman says we have never seen this water around this island before. It's just a big mud flat with a road going up to the little town which is actually a big town. It's beautiful by the way

20:23 And, you know I'm thinking where's all this lifting of the tides? The global oceans. How come this thing has been sitting there on a mud flat for apparently 50 or 100 years? I don't know how long it hasn't been flooded around the island And now it got flooded only because of the super tide. Where is the rise of the seas? Where is it?" Well, that plays nicely into two clips I picked up from Patrick Moore, a co-founder of Greenpeace

21:00 And late or maybe mid last year, 2014 he did a speech and he explained why he left Greenpeace. He also specifically talked about CO2 and climate change and the so-called warming which he believes it is not in fact he's going to use a term I like using Let me explain first why he left Greenpeace. Why did I leave Greenpeace after 15 years? When i began with Greenpeace we had a strong humanitarian orientation to stop all out nuclear war, to save civilization from destruction by the time I left fifteen years later that's the peace in Greenpeace of course but at the time I left fifteen years later Greenpeace had drifted

21:43 into a position along with the rest of the movement as characterizing humans as enemies of Earth. And that was not for me, we are part of nature and from nature. Greenpeace also began to adopt positions I didn't agree with from a scientific point-of-view." There you go! So Greenpeace according to their cofounder probably coopted the idea that humans are bad for Nature Yeah, we've seen that thematically. Here is his view on what is really happening with our climate Yes CO2 is increasing in the global atmosphere But let's look at the last billion years of global climate change I chose the most recent billion years There are actually three and a half more billion years of climate change before this but we know pretty well that this is what has happened over the last billion

22:37 It's generally been warmer than it is today by many degrees Celsius. 22° average global temperature has been the norm, but then there have been 4½ ice ages during this period of time where temperature plummets on average down to 12° even 10°C global average. Today the global average temperature is 14.5°C. We are in an ice age called the Pleistocene that's why both poles are covered in ice People don't understand that we are in an ice age now. This is an interglacial period within the Pleistocene Ice Age and it is generally a cold time, in terms of the Earth's history. Yes! This is what we've always been saying...

23:23 That's what they were saying in the 70s. Yes, but here he is saying it in 2014 I don't understand why they're not killing him? I can't believe that dragged off the stage. Bingo boom shakalaka Why are there 300 million people in the United States and only 30 million people in Canada one word cold Best line best line ever Sometimes I think that's why you let us have it. It seems the temperature is bounded on the top and the bottom, probably by a lot of feedback forces that are creating a maximum and minimum, and we're in one of those minimums right now. He's a day away from small aircraft is my suggestion. It shows right there for example that now it's 14.5 C and CO2 is about 400 whereas the average over the last 600 million years has been around 2000 which coincidentally is the optimum CO2 level for plant growth

24:23 about four to five times higher than it is today. That's why greenhouse growers purposely put the exhaust from their gas or wood heaters into the greenhouse to increase growth by as much as 100%. So we can look forward to increasing productivity in agriculture from increased CO2, as many of you know." That's something I didn't know! Yeah no, yeah no... The wine growers know this And they believe there's an increase in CO2 and it's accounting for the slightly higher alcohols in the products, and better crops generally speaking. And then the CO2 we have now in the atmosphere that is four times less than what is optimal for plants? That's interesting! Yeah I didn't know that either... And we are in a nice age he just said well We did know that

25:18 Yeah, why don't you go and try that out in public? Hey! Crazy idiots. We're in an ice age didn't you know that? Try it see how you do yeah well I thought it was nice I think it's very good of Patrick Moore to do this He is another one of those guys they would now dismiss as an idiot Kook kook More like rested like the guy who the first guy who actually trained Al Gore isn't Pretty well known the guy. Who is his Elgors global warming mentor yes Before he died he looked at the data again and says I was wrong this is bullcrap This is the guy who still set up the San Diego? I don't know I have no idea yeah, we've talked about him before okay He said that's a new go out or right here Yeah

26:06 And then Gore says, oh he's just a senile. You know, Gore is horrible person and he's the devil. So along with that came an executive order on the 19th...you always want to do these things on Friday...planning for federal sustainability in the next decade By the authority vested in me as president by the Constitutional laws of America, United States of America. In order to maintain federal leadership and sustainability and greenhouse gas emission reductions Oh this is in order to maintain federal leadership in sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions reductions.

27:00 Let's reduce it so we get less, so the plants can barely survive and then we'll all die. Hooray! I think what he said in the first clip this Patrick Moore is part of what is going on in the leadership, the federal leadership and sustainability and greenhouse gas emission reductions is people are evil they are the villains of the earth and therefore they must be eliminated And this is a good way of doing So the president has a very big, somewhat technical and legal executive order. But it does the typical things about Energy Star rating and corporate business. This is obviously for the federal government to play a leading role in the scam which is great because now we have all these new funding opportunities for private companies to jump into stuff like

27:54 incorporating where feasible the consensus-based industry standard green button data access system into reporting, data analytics and automation processes. The consensus based industry standard green button data access system... What? The? I guess, I guess i should look this up. This is a green button. It's energy dot gov slash data slash green dash button download my data! This is great what is the green button?

28:32 The Green Button Initiative is an industry-led effort that responds to a White House call to action, to provide utility customers with easy and secure access to their energy usage information in a consumer friendly and computer friendly format. Customers are able securely download their own detailed energy usage with the simple click of literal green button on electric utilities websites. No brother! Okay here you go Go to greenbuttondata.org and there's a video... Is this something we're gonna have to play? I think you should, I'm not going be able do it here. Okay hold on second let me set it up for playback through the system This is..I had not seen this What was it? Greenbuttondata.org

29:30 Data.org, okay... No dash! No got it. Helping you find and use your energy data? Oh this uh Okay let's try this out Megan Smith There ya go! Oh this is our country's chief technology officer welcoming the birth of the green button ecosystem ladies and gentlemen Play! Not doing so well Great good work website. It's just sitting there spinning around all let me try again For the net neutrality scam what video what system are they using is their own or who were they using for? The show youtuber anything yes Other people hitting it right now, so I can't Yeah, all the no agenda live stream chat room is hitting. I'm getting I'm seriously I'm getting just a spinning circle of loading

30:26 Oh, here we go. It started on mine you keep waiting it'll start but it's not it's buffering and sitting there...it's shit! It is just shit I see Megan Smith there and it's just shit John I'm sorry it's just not happening this All right, well I'll let it sit there and if it loads great. Oh see? Just let it go in and then it will start playing out of the blue during the show. Okay good um...I looked through this entire executive order there's just a ton of stuff but a lot of this dumb stuff like the green button initiative oh this is really going to help we're all going to be saved because of a green button on your bill on your website bill uh then we have a lot of electric capability

31:10 Building electric energy, thermal energy shall be clean energy as by this definition accounted for by... Hello San Diego! My name is Megan Smith. I'm the USCTO and i'm sorry I can't be with you guys to scrub in on this so important topic. To scrub in on the... To scrub in... AHHHHH! I wanna kill myself now! I've gotta scrub in Is that a Silicon Valley-ism that we're not aware of? Not that I know of, but it might be. It may be a new one because we're not hanging out with those idiots. Oh man! Scrubbing...I wish I could scrub in with you. I'm going to try that next time on my date. Hey babe, I want to scrub in with ya'.

31:49 See what happens. I love it when I get you to giggle. Congratulations on coming together, Green Button is an amazing initiative. Amazing! It's an amazing initiative bow down oh my god it's like immaculate conception that's how amazing it is. Industry has really collaborated brilliantly together with the support of the Department of Commerce NIST team The NIST team, they brought in NIST to get the standard? Now they're calling it a standard. Where's the RFC? You guys are starting to scale on this incredibly important topic. Starting to scale! Let's scrub in so we can start to scale. This standard moving and you guys are starting to scale on this incredibly important topic. I know that over 50 utilities

32:40 have already signed on to Green Button, and we're seeing more than 60 million American homes having access. Really fun things are happening like Facebook competitions and people competing with their neighbors as well as high-end use of the data to analyze industry wide. Okay so you're telling me that neighbors are hanging out? Hey how's your green button numbers I don't know man i think we're beating you! The Curry family is beating the Dvorak family in the green button challenge on facebook That's really fun I don't believe you, Megan Smith. I also know that system integrators and great vendors have signed on where dudes named Ben in this across the US and into Canada so just a thank you to all of you for gathering there together and thank you to of course Department of Energy and the Department of Commerce NIST team who are hosting you know in the USCTO team we

33:34 We have a really an instigation job. Our job is to advise the president and his team on how to harness the power of technology. Instigation Job? Is that what she said? Did she say, instigation job? I was blown away by it when she has...she has a team and let's listen You know in the USCTO Team we have a really an instigation job our job uh Instigation Job What's an instigation job? I don't know there's only one thing we can do with this obviously I'm going to look up the full term, instigation job. But do not see... Just throwing out one cliche buzzword phrase. John let's scrub in. It is a Washington DC term? I think really scrub in? The bureaucrats around the White House say it. That does but yeah let me just see scrub in. I am looking it up now. Scrub in.

34:34 Oh, it's a Grey's Anatomy reference. Okay... Something they say... It's an ethical reference! According to the Urban Dictionary scrub in is something they say about 500 times an episode on Greys' anatomy. That means before you get ready to do surgery scrub in Well that's how important she thinks she is that's okay with me and his team on how to harness the power of technology, data, and innovation on behalf of the nation. And we do that by trying to bring together amazing talent like all of you and get standards moving, et cetera. We really focus in three areas—technology policy, of which there's a lot of things here in this topic. We focus on digital government and open government and releasing data and getting enthusiasm of the American innovators and innovators around the world."

35:36 Lots of words lots of words are you enthused I'm enthused about the release of standards moving etc Release the data did she say get standards moving, etc. Yeah? No this woman Get standards moving Etc and releasing data and getting in your enthusiasm of the American innovators and innovators around the world didn't hear her say that man Let me go back a little bit. Focus on digital government and open government, and releasing data and getting enthusiasm of the American innovators around the world to do what they will with this extraordinary asset that the American public has funded... What asset? Third area we call Innovation Nation. Innovation Nation! Hey made a rhyme it's a slogan trademarked. How you get more of the American people included in the innovation economy

36:23 and the kind of high paying... Innovation economy? Yes, this is brand new. John, I'm going to scrub in on the innovation economy. Hold on a second. It's so fun to make fun of these people! Is she having a conversation yet? Oh, I hope we do! Let's see... a part of the Better Job Higher Pay community, please. Ms Smith? Could you put me in that community? Can I get on that through G plus?"

37:09 So I know there's some contests going up. I know that, I think more than 500 groups participated last year—innovators from across the U.S., in the Datapalooza that Department of Energy hosted and I think there is another one coming up. Datapalooza? What did she say? Hold on a minute! Yeah, they've done…the Datapalooza, they've done several times. Really?! Yeah this goes back to Vivek's SkipLogic Kundra Data Palooza. Oh, yeah miss that no we discussed it quite Yeah in fact I probably blanked it out cuz so stupid you see data palooza I'm going to search dot any show notes calm and episode 5 6 0 which was 10 years ago 2013 yeah, and this is the data palooza that was Todd Park who of course was running the show back then oh

38:01 A data-powered revolution in healthcare. Oh yeah, that was all... That was what it was Datapalooza for healthcare data I remember. Yeah this is a promising new career! I should alert Nurse Tracy she can be in the Datapalooza and find a new job. In the Datapalooza that Department of Energy hosted and I think there's another one coming up. There's a bunch of contests launching etc so really I originally became a mechanical engineer... Stop, stop again. I hate to deconstruct this to such an extreme that it's getting annoying to the listeners but you have to back up again to the Datapalooza part because she said something contest launching or...? Yeah let's listen again sure thing. ...last year innovators from across the US in Datapalooza that Department of Energy hosted and i think there's another one coming out That was Department of Energy?

38:50 That's a different one. Yeah, so I went to contest launching etc. So really... Contest launching etc. What was that word after that? After she said launching what was that word? Department of Energy hosted and i think there's another one coming up. So went to contest launching etc. So really... Et cetera! Et cetera?! Yeah et cetera Contest launching, etc. Yeah she says it's such all the time you did hard to hear it Yes, and she actually I think she even says etcetera. I think that Department of Energy hosted And I think there's another one coming up so much a contest launching Etc say she said etc yeah, etc, etc Etiquetera, et cetera. We should be using this all the time as we scrub in for the datapalooza etc. I originally became a mechanical engineer because of the early energy crisis work and being a kid during Carter and doing every science fair project i could in Buffalo New York can you imagine doing solar in Buffalo New York but those are my projects and you know Department of Energy

39:50 Hey Megan, if you're gonna do an anecdote better do a little better on that. That wasn't it? What was the joke there? Well that was a crap anecdotes I mean what she said unknowingly was its solar energy doesn't work Imagine trying to four people in Buffalo all this stuff will not work for you at Etc. It says we're giving up on oil You're screwed Early energy crisis work and being a kid during Carter and doing every science fair project I could in Buffalo, New York Can you imagine doing solar in Buffalo New York? Let's see his solar projects in Buffalo, New York Let's just take a look and see who's gonna be pissed off at her solar Energy Buffalo, New York let's see what's big up there

40:32 Mm-hmm, Solar Liberty... Solar Panels. New York Home Solar Power Buffalo. Seems like oh the state pledges 750 million for Buffalo's solar plant! Well Megan you should call them right away and tell them that is a waste of money. Solar City investing five billion dollars in Buffalo New York! Oh Megan this is an outrage this is wasted cash wasted cash She should get on the stick about this. Makes no sense, but those are my projects with her experience and you know Department of Energy and the work of this great nation have always been inspiring to me from the time I was really young And the work of the energy innovation community so really salute you guys energy innovation community

41:19 I wonder if Elon Musk is in that. To me from the time he was really young and the work of the energy innovation community, so really salute you guys for coming together it's such an important topic and have a wonderful conference! Oh thank you Megan. I think slow clap is more what she deserves for this slow clap there you go. How about that little New Year's Eve horn? Yes we should have ended it that way yeah I agree All right, thank you very much. Megan Smith there our Chief Technology Officer of the United States of America scrubbing in everybody scrubbing in very nice Very very nice good work on scrubbing it So this is executive order and they were talking about to ensure that a minimum at a minimum Minimum the following percentage with the total amount of building electric energy and thermal energy shall be clean energy accounted for by renewable electric energy and alternative energy

42:17 By 2016-2017, not less than 10%, 18 to 19 13% and ultimately by the year 2025 25 percent should be clean electric energy. And you know just looking through this order it was nice to see that at least we had these two little points installing fuel cell energy systems on site as federal facilities whatever that is Is there any fuel cell energy system that works except the bogus thing that John Doerr and Kleiner Perkins invested in? Remember that. Yeah, oh yeah they had they showed on 60 Minutes right and it was really because a few of them installed around the Google campus. Yeah pretty bogative. Fuel cells are I mean they do work I mean the hydrogen fuel cell works these things work yeah they're just expensive to make and they're actually very old technology

43:15 Point of this, you know it's very rare. The only thing even the wind power is an old technology The only reason that works better than before is that they just make bigger turbines You know, you make a big giant thing instead of the little bitty ones that they used to have. The giant ones that ruin your view, ruin your hearing... They ruin your view! They chop up birds and they make this... And they're too expensive! They don't actually pay back. ...and they fall over and they make a funny sound that drives everybody in the area crazy. Exploding. Anyway here it is utilizing energy from new small modular nuclear reactor technologies Oh well they should go with that I think that's the way to go why don't they do that? Well they're going to its in here

43:54 Oh, that's a fuel cell? No. So the fuel cell comes before the small modular nuclear reactor technologies and it remains to be seen what they're really going to make available budget-wise under that we have utilizing energy from a new project... New project! That includes the active cap... so they already know what it is Utilizing energy from a new project that includes the active capture and storage of carbon dioxide emissions How about plant some trees aren't they excellent storage of storers of carbon dioxide yeah, and they give us useful oxygen Humans will live

44:32 We don't want useful things like oxygen. No, no this would be no good But a lot of it's about energy star rating so this is really more about manufacturing stuff that you know That looks pretty and and adheres to some kind of standard makes you feel better make sure feel good Yeah You scrub in any feel better I scrubbed in I feel better now. I feel better. I feel a little dirty from scrubbing in quite honestly What else did I have? I had something else in the agenda 21. No, that's actually it. That was good! We should keep our eye on what Megan Smith is doing with her little speeches. She sucks. It's kind of funny to listen to her. She needs a coach. Oh yeah that's not going to happen. Get rid of the cliches lady. I bet you they think she walks on water there

45:20 I'm not telling you. Because she can use a screwdriver... And she's rich, and she is rich! She is rich. So looking today and looking to see what exactly was if we had any proclamations? You know so the president did not proclaim Certified Registered Nurse Day and there was no mention although it was yesterday of World Down Syndrome day Well, it makes some sense that they wouldn't recognize the nurses because they save lives. And he obviously wants to kill all humans. Yes! So let's not thank them and let's not recognize them but how about World Down Syndrome Day? That's a pretty well established...

46:05 Thing yeah, how can we don't celebrate that I don't know it seems like something to do he's gonna look out a step when the band is a hold down syndrome band in Iceland I believe Jack Lou suffers from Down Syndrome It's Finland and they won the national Euro of the national contest and will be in the finals For the Eurovision Song Contest And I predict they will win. Yeah, I know you did pretty good. Yeah Of course this is why the president is making a mistake Yeah, I know. He should have got on board with this etc., etc.. It would have been easy wouldn't cost anything there's nothing else is nor the proclamation so he could easily done it. I don't know. No its an oversight especially if they have the band wins and a good band. At least they play some hot rock metal they play punk whatever I think they think its punk I'm not quite sure it's punk et cetera is what it is

47:07 It's it they're good. They're better than I am yes, well. I can play the tambourine I Will get the harmonica down a bit finally got some reference books to read okay? Oh really so you're gonna do you're gonna do a song nice. I've got nothing else to do let's face it Okay, see where were oh um again. I got a little segue here okay Now, I've always been fascinated by the... and I didn't realize the Kurds were so into this sound. But I would like to get some recordings especially if you can get a small choir of women somewhere that can make this sound This is very short clip. This is that Arab screaming that women do when they're singing it. It's just in the background. This clip has got nothing to do with anything we're going to talk about but I just want to play and this is a very good version of it

48:05 I'm sorry. It's called the Eastern Scream. Traditional dances, colorful clothing and deafening music The celebrations of Niverus are in full swing in Diyarbakir, the largest Kurdish majority city in Turkey. I heard it! It was at the beginning... I heard the scream? Isn't it pretty good that one?! This is traditional dances colorful clothing and deafening music the celebrations of middles What do you mean that's true, but I'm not understanding what you're asking me isn't that a good version of that sound? No, I think we could find one without the voiceover and without the shitty background. It was last second! I'm doing the clips in the morning... And I say wow there's that screaming woman Can we get somebody to do that well? Oh hoho, I see what you're looking for Yeah Okay I don't think Fletcher can do it Well, don't underestimate The Fletchers And only women do it I don't think its proper for a man to make that sound Right

49:06 Right, so I'm not gonna even invite Fletcher to try and and I would you did a pretty good job a second ago though But it's still not up to par. I would like to request that people who think they can do this as well Not email me clips because you can't all right It's just not the same. It said we have Fletcher is our guy he's got these you know He nails it time in time again In fact, he did another one for us today which I wanted to play. Ladies and gentlemen! It is time to rubbleize! Yeah, I got that one too. I think it's good. As little- Yeah it's you know something...I think he's got polyps? If he doesn't have them, he will

49:54 It will shortly. He's like, oh man that's too funny I nobody else that's the best i've ever heard of this type of voice they done We even though we're not getting a big uptake on people taking advantage if we do have one coming in somebody sent me an email Well let's talk about that as I thank you very much for your courage and say in the morning to you John C where the C stands for conjugal visits, Dvorak.

Making his way to the ring weighing 333 pounds he's LeBron Duke of Kitmo USA Sir David Bowie

52:11 I can assure you that Foley does not weigh 333 pounds. Anyway, he came in with $451.50. The requested coincidence, John C. Coincidence for the Easter show coming up on April 5th—I mentioned this in a newsletter and everyone else should kind of know this— Yes! You did actually. —I have a birthday on Easter. And this hasn't happened since 1953 because Easter is screwy. Now I got a bunch of notes, I may read probably read them on Easter telling me how this is calculated how you calculate Easter you do the bad moon arising really? How many subtract how many comets go through the atmosphere that year and then you have to add some fudge factors it's crazy

53:05 And the Equinox is involved, and it says first Sunday after the Equinox or some craziness. And I had a number of explanations for this and it just seems nuts. So they put a chart in the newsletter showing all the days because that can happen anywhere between March 22nd... which would be, I guess March 22nd to April something. And so I always thought that you could get it every seven years or so but no, I'd get two in my lifetime. So I made a $45 15 cent donation thing that you could do. Well fully up the ante with 450 150 and he says ITM folks please enclose find a special 10x

53:47 Happy birthday, JC. No donation. Hopefully this will help with the full with the foot the lull The low we have a lull going on ladies and gentlemen of all welcome back Adam Please send some of that wonderful no agenda karma that continues to work its magic Anything for the Grand Duke you've got karma Now out of San Francisco's Ron Pepper We did come in with the Foley donation, which is 314.15—not Foley donation I'm sorry, the Fletcher donation—I haven't donated in a couple of years now and like so many have been intending to do so please stop intending and please do so but he didn't like Braun did but I was pushed by the offer from John Fletcher if I recall his name right? To scream my name

54:36 For the clip, I would like to just my last name Pepper which should fit well based on his other great work. If Mr. Fletcher is feeling generous perhaps as a prize for being first if it's true and he is may I also get a Rebecca as well? Last time I donated I asked for human resource karma let me add to the many satisfied no agenda karma recipients and tell you that it works We now have the healthiest, happiest strongest future night that we could ask for. So this time I'd like to ask for some jobs karma from my photography business panoramanetwork.com panorama network dot com shameless plug he says you know what's cool about this Fletcher Fest that were doing where if you donate the Fletcher fest amount then you're going to get a Fletcher shout it's pretty much the digital podcast version of those mini license plates in The Gift Shop

55:35 You know what I mean? Yeah. Hey, there's an atom! Yay! What a great analogy. Yeah, I can buy that. Jobs with your own... Dad why did you name me this crazy name?! Now you'll have to pay extra to have one made for me. Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs Let's vote for Jobs! You've got karma. Alrighty Nice nice nice Thank you Yeah that is the analogy Now 31415 comes in from Tim Nonomous. Hello, Tim? Tim Nonomous, Parts Unknown and he sends these checks in... This is by the way if you're really fearful and crazy about being anonymous with higher donations... And not all-in like me with my iPhone!

56:19 where we don't have to, oh! Yeah nothing worse than and Ron Pepper sends in 314 and then you start reading the notes says please keep being anonymous. It's very embarrassing to us yeah so mail a check and then he puts a big stick em note right on the front of the cheque that says Tim anonymous yeah very good and that's he's never gonna get his name mentioned I'm not even going to mention this city and state wherever it is Anyway, he's got no note. He never sends a note so but thanks Tim Tim anonymous I guess he'll get it his name's Tim which makes it weird But he will get a team anonymous Fletcher shop. I guess if you want Yeah was that you yeah You know hurt yourself don't do that Eric Finken and thinking Biner in Seattle Washington comes into the associate executive producer 250 bucks with this donation I now become a knight

57:14 Please knight me as Sir Finky of the Techno Experts. I would love some bad science and perky breasts, write that down! Additionally, I'll be sending each of you some newly designed challenge coins from my current location if you would like." Of course we would! We both have a pile of challenge coins which will eventually go into being sold by Sotheby's Yes, it will be. A bad sign some perky breasts is already on the list I just moved it up to the top today. Oh he's just wants that? Okay no problem. Onward Jonathan Shulman the showman from Tulsa Oklahoma $208 been listening for about two years now this shows an outstanding product which has been the antidote to help me get through some very hard times in spite of my poor college student status

57:59 I can't stand to douchebag any longer. I need to purchase some long overdue moral self-licensing! I request to be de-douched and receive some getting laid karma, to test the efficacy therein." All for science, of course. Yes shout out to all the Okies who helped produce the show You've been de-douche'd You've got karma And finally Sir Barry Kroger in Greeley Colorado 200 Kroger here ITM thank you for all work you guys do a shot of karma for the family please absolutely

58:48 You've got karma. Odd because the contributions were quite low. Strangely a lot of people liked that show I got a lot of feedback The show was good! I thought that last show was outstanding Yeah, well I do say so myself even though...I only had half to do with it Uhh..I think you did more than usual? I got alot of comments on that And i- I don't know Here's my secret Here's what I've learned I shouldn't tell you really because... No, tell me. Tell we all want to know! Well we have from time to time said that when i travel it's kind of good for the show because there's new input now we didn't have a lot of european input this particular uh show although there was some local color

59:39 But I believe what really happens and why the show gets better when I travel is you think, oh man he's traveling. He's doing stuff. I'll step up! I'll do a little more." So in reality when I travel... Exactly You actually step up your game You never know, you might come in with nothing. Like today! Yeah, you never know... Please help us out for our Thursday show and thank you to our executive producers and associate executive producers as I said the credits are real and unlike the phonies in Hollywood we will gladly vouch for them. Of course everybody can always participate in helping out the program by going out there propagating the formula Our formula is this We go out, we hit people in the mouth

1:00:34 I have an update. That's right, everybody the weekly hooker report as you know when times are bad the hookers get better looking and there is more of them at cheaper prices this is Dvorak's law one of many we discussed on Thursday the sex trafficking laws, or human trafficking laws in Washington that will never ever make it. And our analysis of that is because hey they like banging hookers correct? Right this is an analysis you'll never hear anywhere except on this show and what popped up is a law from North Carolina

1:01:32 and this it's almost as if it was planned, sexual acts between lobbyists and a state official covered by North Carolina State's Ethics Act do not constitute a reportable expenditure. As in things of value according to a ruling by the state ethics commission. Some guy is trying to write off his wrist with a hooker? Well no, it's if a lobbyist gives you a hooker Then you don't have to report it. Oh, because it has no because it has no value right so in other words I'm like You know I got some uh? I'm a guy who's of congressman yes Let's just pick a random name. I don't know

1:02:15 Who do we hate? All right, you're a congressman. I'm Lindsey Graham. You're Lindsey Graham all right and some of course then i refuse to hooker my theoretical conclusion but yeah but Lindsey Graham we know he's like oh okay yeah okay it's probably seems a little it's probably probably a transsexual transsexual let's see whoever it is the lobbyist says hey bill i got an idea here roxy go out have a good time you two close the deal So, they go out and then they bangs the hooker and he doesn't have to write it off his taxes. He doesn't have to pay... He doesn't have to report it. ...like a thousand dollars or whatever this hooker's worth. And reported to the IRS. It does not even the IRS has to report as gift from lobbyist that is what... He doesn't have to report it as a gift so that just oh! Whoa! There you go. In other words where the lobbyists can give him that trip to Bermuda anymore he could send them five girls

1:03:11 Or a mix, you know? A couple guys, couple girls. You know, couple transsexuals in there could be... Or whatever the guy wants! Hey it's up to you what do you want we got a pretty good stable here Here is a menu Wow Yeah consensual sexual relationships do not have monetary value and therefore are not reportable as gifts or reportable expenditure made for lobbying so the lobbyists don't have to report it and the receiving senator congressman etc does not have to report either Nobody's reporting nothing. Lobbyist or lobbyists... Nobody is reporting nothing, get it? You know what I'm saying? But what's interesting is that this says that really this says making love has no value. Well in the case of well... Lobbyists are required to report anything worth more than $10 per day they give to a person covered by the state ethics act or a family member

1:04:10 So go back to the depression that hooker by bucks Your 1933 there was he has no cash value. I'm sorry what 1933 they weren't going for that much so it's less than a ten bucks less than 10 bucks in old money And that's why it's still there all I know is this just proves our point That was that's why updated The Weekly Hooker report very good. I think that's a catch Amen There you go. This show is on a roll. It is now! Here's the good story, this came on Democracy Now!, she of course doesn't pay any attention to reading her own... Okay just tell me what's wrong with this stupid story? Napolitano of course runs the University of California. They need government, you know, somebodys in deep with the goverment because they're producing all these CIA spies and Asia, you know… Let's back it up just a little bit

1:05:14 Janet Napolitano, who we lovingly refer to as Lucy was the director of Department of Homeland Security. Was embroiled in all kinds of sexual harassment lawsuits the entire upper echelon were really uh sexually harassing men yeah you know putting their desk in the bathroom cover up most of it and saying you have really sexual innuendo the place was loaded with angry lesbians very angry man haters yes though that kind yes and not the lipstick lesbians we all like to see in porn no no not at all

1:05:54 And so she left and she became the, is it the regent or what do they call her? What's her official title. No, she's the president. She runs the place. She runs the California system all the schools. Which has billions and billions of dollars in cash, in billions... Billions of dollars they gave Obama $1 million as a campaign contribution this is before she got there though I mean it's what happened anyway Now at issue is the University of California system wants to raise tuition fees 5% every year for the next five years. Yeah, and they've been doing...they've been raising it more than that for the last five years. They keep raising it because if anyone wants to come out here go to Berkeley drive around It's all new architecture The whole college I you can't even recognize it as the old University of California They just build and build and build and then they whine and whine in wine so she had a big meeting and there was

1:06:53 bunch of students coming up at the meeting bitching and so she was overheard. And I want to say not just bitching, they were literally had clothes...they were taking their clothes off and they had like...uhhh.... They were scantily clad underneath and have things like slave you know debt slaves because this is what it is! You're being forced into slavery for your college degree which of course you will be a total loser in life If you don't have a... If you fall for the scam. If you, if you don't fall for the scam You're never going to amount anything! Just be a man with a selfie stick on the corner. It's just

1:07:33 Image I got a selfie stick here. Well alright, so they're pissed Misreporting way she's she leans over to one of the other Regents of the system yeah and their bitch these kids you write there strip in is making a mess Yeah And so she leans over to the guy and says oh Let's get out of here. Take a break, have to listen to this crap." And that was the—there was a clip of it. It's hard to hear, but that's what she says. But this is a misreporting done by Democracy Now! on Napolitano and I think it's pretty funny. University of California president and former secretary of homeland security Janet Napolitano has apologized for referring to student protesters as crap

1:08:19 As students disrupted Wednesday's U.C. regents' meeting to protest tuition hikes, Napolitano was caught on an open mic saying, let's go we don't have to listen to this crap." She later apologized for quote using a word I don't usually use. Yeah usually it's scum knuckle She probably cusses like a truck driver. Let's face it, but here is the funny thing... Now what is Amy's problem here? Napolitano by any stretch of the imagination did not call the students crap she called the display of commentary crap. We don't have to listen to this crap doesn't mean we don't have to listen to these students That's not what it means This is a typical case

1:09:05 Amy did not watch any video, didn't listen to any audio of what happened. Some producer and just this is what happens. Yes he's reading I have this clip a little differently if you want to listen with a little more background. As long as it makes fun of Napolitano who apparently never uses the word crap Things got so heated at a UC Regents meeting today students started taking off their clothes in protest. This is the part that was, that piqued my interest. Nightbeat's Mark Kelly. Because we're seeing and I think I called the tipping point two shows ago we're seeing people having enough

1:09:47 We're seeing students starting to really walk out of protests and taking your clothes off is an outstanding form of protest. I'm all for it. Tells us tonight the UC president's reaction has students even more fired up, Mark? Monica President Janet Napolitano's mic was hot during the meeting Hot! Hot Mike! And she made it clear what she thinks of these protesters As the protests began, the camera stayed on the regents. There was some confusion over what to do UC president Janet Napolitano leans over to a colleague and says quote let's just break Let's go! Let's go! We don't have to listen to this crap hear it for yourself

1:10:32 Christian Kim was one of the students protesting 5% tuition increases every year for five years. It's an insult to have her as the president of the UDC To make their point loud and clear, protesters including Kim stripped down to their underwear revealing the words student debt written on their bodies I love this This was a hot little chicky And this is good. This gets attention, nakedness. This is something Americans can't process properly. Naked bodies... She called when you were doing crap? I mean, I don't know where she's coming from honestly but I'm assuming she's never had to deal with these issues personally so I can understand why there would be a disconnect there Yeah, she's an elite horse now. Yeah, exactly What else would she be? It was nothing like the students in India

1:11:29 This is a segue. Students in India? Yeah, apparently the Indian students in India and they showed movies of this... They just when they take they have to take all these exams because they're under a lot of pressure to get into the better college. To get into Silicon Valley! To get out of hell out of India over here! Get out of India! And uh yeah are under so much pressure that they cheat to such an extreme, it's ridiculous. And so they show the side of this building where all these students taking their tests and kids are crawling up like spiders on the side of the building, we're not talking about a couple kids but 50! They're going in there tossing answers and doing stuff... I don't even know why they just don't go in the room there, but they're tossing answers

1:12:17 and to the kids a role of a piece of paper here is the answer that question six but let's play these two clips because i didn't this is like uh... you have to wonder and i hate them it took all out the indians again but about some other guy uh... some of their ideas of what's the right way to go. In India, a scandal has erupted over cheating on crucial high school exams. Authorities said today more than 1,000 10th graders have been expelled this week The issue exploded into view with video of dozens of people scaling the walls of a testing center in Bihar state

1:12:55 They could be seen passing or even throwing answers to students through open windows. The state education minister said it's hard to stop. Well, here play the second part and you hear the numbers involved. And then bull crap excuse! He said today more than 1,000 10th graders have been expelled this week The issue exploded into view with video of dozens of people scaling the walls Of a testing center in Bihar state They could be seen passing or even throwing answers to students through open windows But the State Education Minister said it's hard to stop

1:13:36 There are more than 1.4 million students sitting for exams, 3 to 4 people helping a single student would mean that there are total of 6 to 7 million people helping students cheap Is it the responsibility of the government alone to manage such a huge number of people and conduct 100% free and fair examination? Reports of cheating have increased since the government began offering cash to poor students who perform well. They have to pass the exams to continue their education. Now here's the difference between a country like United States and I don't know if I say most of the world but a lot of the world, India for sure we don't have that kind of rigid class structure and Indians had one of the worst

1:14:27 Because people here can...you know, you can always go to school late. You can go to night school. You can always get a degree if you actually want to get a degree and you can begin at any point in your life. There's none of these ridiculous You can go to junior college, you can get the A degree and then transfer without taking a bunch of tests to get into some university necessarily. And I know a lot of people that just they don't follow this rigid pattern and become homeschooled effortlessly... In fact most of the Indians when they come over here are home schoolers. Boy, you could just drop out and become a podcaster.

1:15:05 Yes. I just think it's just like you put all this pressure and create these bogus bureaucratic systems, and you end up with this horrible state of affairs which is India saying they've been by the way there's building these kids were taking this test in it looks like it was rubble junk good get them used to the future but the Indians are cheap and they never donate to the show I'm hearing I think I think it was you a while back I don't know if it was related. When President Obama went to India, you said you thought something might happen? I think that India is ready for something to happen again no matter what kind of like Mumbai but i'm not quite sure why just the number of articles I'm seeing things going down this like feels like something else big is gonna happen. It's possible they were being set up by the media

1:15:54 Just to accept something. Oh, okay right right right? That's possible Because India you know we don't like Obama actually doesn't like this guy the guy who runs India now and the new guy Modi Modi yeah Modi And so he doesn't like him and again Modi is something of a creep He's very pro-Brahmin business. He is a creepy guy by all accounts, and then we get a lot of stories about the raping in India. It's like everyone is raping everybody all the time and there was a report recently on PBS saying that of the 20...this is good one I didn't use it when were doing this story..of the 20 trading partners, the G20

1:16:40 of that group of people, the women that were treated the worst and are in the worst shape and in the worse country...the number last on the list of how women are treated and how they're dealt with in various...in United States, Great Britain, France, all these places. Right at the bottom is India above them is Saudi Arabia And they made a big stink about this because the, there's been a woman wrote a book about Indian rape and raping. This is like about rape and she's a British woman that she got the book got banned. She got thrown out of the book about the Hindus by this other female author very famous historian God we talked about that before it called The Hindus. That book is banned from India where there is a lot of stuff going on that is setting I think as setting us up for

1:17:34 the rubble-ization of India. And we've also discussed the possibility, it was only mentioned in one report once, the possibility of Ebola getting into India where it would be very disastrous. Yes yes that would be perfect for them wouldn't it? So India may be targeted for all we know because we're getting these kinds of stories and... Okay well something to keep our eye on. Speaking of agreements I have not seen this, in fact they only have a German... what is this? Süddeutsche.de The German economy minister Sigmar Gabriel is making a lot of noise about

1:18:15 The TTIP, this is a big deal for the United States. This is one of President Obama's big legacy issues is the TTIP which is the trade agreement between the US and Europe and he saying no I really don't think we want to do this. We don't think this is a good idea and where...and he's pushing back. And I think this adds to you know already a lot of tension we have between the U.S. and Deutschland Yeah, there's another thing that seems to be building up slowly. But we noticed this a couple years ago when we first started seeing the

1:18:55 the commentary about how these ISIS, ISIL types can... Oh they can just waltz into Europe. Once they get in there then they go to Hamburg or someplace in Germany and then go right to United States and kill us all. And that was always going through.. There's always some route through Germany again. They're still in the subconscious mind of the American public The cells, the Hamburg Al Qaeda cells it says in Germany What's interesting is BND, which is the German intelligence service who I've heard from our sources that the BND those guys are badass. They're really good at their intelligence certainly human intelligence and not so sure about the signals intelligence but they're building a brand new headquarters which I believe costs almost a billion euros. Yeah you think people get pissed off about that

1:19:47 So things keep happening to this. Now there is some sabotage took place and water damage to the entire construction site, but I gotta think we're messing with these guys. I think we're really trying to send some messages and they are not really getting it." Well the Russians on RT have been going on about how...and which is a red herring About how the Germans want to get of course is RT which is propaganda of some sort you can fully identify Of course it is. Of course It is they they The German's always been wanting to get into the five eyes And of course, the five eyes are the English-speaking countries that share intelligence us its England or UK? It is New Zealand Australia and who's the fifth Canada a Canadia, of course

1:20:40 And it makes no sense that they'd be in Five Eyes at all. But supposedly, according to RT and the Russians, they want to get in there and feel insulted And so they may cut us off from their information. That's bullcrap, whatever the case there is a lot of this kind of antagonistic story these antagonistic storyline seem to be dropped in the media which are targeting Germany and then of course the other one I mentioned just minute ago India seems to be targeted right now There's a number of military exercises

1:21:16 that are ongoing, that we are doing. United States of course NATO but the United States is leading it and this is... We're doing this in these states that you know are kind of close to Russia like a hundred miles from the Russian border and it's not really a nice thing to do particularly if Russia has some military training in their own country and then we all go ape shit about it. Right, and we have the clip or at least partial clip here of that woman from RT who's the kind of... She's the cute one with a yeah with the dark curly hair and she's got slick back. Yeah this is very nice And she was on you did the new State Department spokesman his name eludes me He's he's a loser

1:21:59 Oh, this guy's terrible. I got a clip later that he's going to fold. He's gonna fall. This is not gonna turn out well for this guy. No good now here she goes off after him about this particular issue and then his B's lame language dance. I'm not sure what I'm not trying on this girl by the way is I like her she's hot I think she's talented, but she's got the combo man. She's got the combo especially with that Russian accent what you're referring to when the US is carrying out exercises thousands of miles away from home near Russian borders and that's fine Russia does at home and that's not fine. You are twisting how we've described Russian exercise activity, and I think our activity on the territory of NATO member states has a degree of transparency that is hard to criticize. I want to go back to my question maybe you have not but your colleagues from this podium have criticized Russia for carrying out exercises near its western borders because they raise tensions

1:23:01 Why is it that US exercises do not raise tensions? Well, again I would ask you to go back and check the transcripts of what we've said. We have not issued such... The only thing that bothers me about this type of journalism It's very similar to-I see this a lot In fact Brian the Gay Crusader does it sometimes And I say it really makes no sense to do that By saying well if you really look at the record Saudi Arabia beheads more people a month than ISIS has done in total And whenever you're comparing or like, there are more senseless acts of violence as if any act of violence would be would make sense against LGBTQQIAAP community members in America in these states than Russia. But no one gives a shit

1:23:48 You know, so what she's doing is cute for RT but journalistically it really doesn't do anything. Such blanket statements... We did check the transcripts and here is an example of such a statement. Just to clarify In that statement, the State Department spokesperson was talking about exercises that Russia carried out inside of Russia. So the State Department spokesperson today tried to deny that there is an inconsistency between how the U.S. presents its own actions

1:24:27 own actions and how it assesses Russia's moves. But there are transcripts, they're recorded statements from the past which speak to the contrary." I'm shocked! Shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!" Yeah exactly...I didn't- I wanted to clip this and i didn't because I thought well actually I didn't because I found this clip This is Brian Becker of The Answer Coalition And by the way this is Jeff Rathke as the guy Oh right, okay Yes The answer I had that clip to this cancer guy I didn't clip that because... How interesting. ...I refuse to clip anything from these guys, because Answer A dot N dot S dot W dot E dot R dot are a bunch of communists from the World's Workers Party out in New York City there are they're complete bullshit artists Yeah and i looked them up and the way you do this if you look at answercoalition.org You click on donate then you see ah this is the progress unity fund

1:23:48 You know, so what she's doing is cute for RT but journalistically it really doesn't do anything. Such blanket statements... We did check the transcripts and here is an example of such a statement. Just to clarify In that statement, the State Department spokesperson was talking about exercises that Russia carried out inside of Russia. So the State Department spokesperson today tried to deny that there is an inconsistency between how the U.S. presents its own actions

1:24:27 own actions and how it assesses Russia's moves. But there are transcripts, they're recorded statements from the past which speak to the contrary." I'm shocked! Shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!" Yeah exactly...I didn't- I wanted to clip this and i didn't because I thought well actually I didn't because I found this clip This is Brian Becker of The Answer Coalition And by the way this is Jeff Rathke as the guy Oh right, okay Yes The answer I had that clip to this cancer guy I didn't clip that because... How interesting. ...I refuse to clip anything from these guys, because Answer A dot N dot S dot W dot E dot R dot are a bunch of communists from the World's Workers Party out in New York City there are they're complete bullshit artists Yeah and i looked them up and the way you do this if you look at answercoalition.org You click on donate then you see ah this is the progress unity fund

1:25:25 who, let's see, donations to PUF, P-U-F whatever that is slash Answer Coalition are processed by our fiscal sponsor the Progress Unity Fund. And I looked it up, John. And you know they do like $250,000 a year most of the money is kept in and not really spending no one makes there's no salaries well they may be communists... No! But they're not stealing money okay? I'm gonna stop you there because that organization if you really start to look into it is like an octopus There are hundreds of little spin-offs The accumulative amounts of money that are here and there, parked all over the place is huge. I don't believe it's a quarter of a million. The Progress Unity Fund really... That fund itself maybe!

1:26:16 But when you start digging into this operation, the answer coalition which comes out of the World's Workers Party and go look at the World's Workers Party and look at what they're hooked up to. That's where the money is all... This is one of the little... It's a small thing yes I did clip 40 seconds of this guy and it's interesting I didn't clip what you clipped in you didn't click with I clip together well it's a shocking level hypocrisy double standard double speak I mean The United States is carrying out massive war games and military exercises in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia.

1:26:53 These are the former Soviet Republic's key Russian allies on Russia's border, coming within a few kilometers—a few hundred kilometers of Russia's border with modern artillery. And that's not a threat. That's just keeping the peace. It extends American military power right up to the edge of Russia surrounding Russia as it were. The State Department and the media with the State Department constantly accuse Russia even when its acting within its own borders of threatening its neighbors. I mean, that's just the way... That's the M.O right now in the American media and of course the State Department and other government agencies feed that." Obviously! And i found last night- You can play the uh there's gambling going on after that guy too. Of course, of course Oh but that would..that's not a slam on your clip man so don't get me wrong No no I know. No no I think the clip was warranted and needed that kicker But this guy is no...this essentially this guys just summarized it Well I found some gold

1:27:48 But I don't like this guy. Well, we don't have to but i will look into who's funding all these things because... What about the World Workers Party? That's...I looked at the 990 there's no mention of the World Workers Party so it's definitely segregated properly Our man, Professor Steve Cohen. This is the professor emeritus from which university is he John? New York... Was it Johns Hopkins? No I don't know. I think he's with NYU or something like that. He is a professor on Russia. He's a Russian professor on Russia and by the way as I watch this whole speech at Fairfield University um I don't have a clip of him very irritating he keeps plugging his wife

1:28:27 with her entire first name, last name and you know as my wife said so now I'm a little like...I gotta look into who his wife is and what she's doing because there's something. I don't know. I got a creepy feeling which I think we both typically really like Professor Cohen and what he has to say And what I thought I would do for today's program is... He's at Princeton NYU. He's got two jobs Okay And Princeton is the high end? Is the classy place That's that one you want yeah Orange tie. I wanted to play a few clips from this rather long speech that he did because it really and it's coincidence or not, but it falls exactly in line with

1:29:10 how we feel Ukraine came together, what happened? What the situation is who the players are. Here's a minute and a half background of the history of the situation how he got into this and I think that he says some things that are very appropriate for the No Agenda producers when they're out there and they want to slip in something, you know the things that we talk about now that you can change people's opinions but just to put in something intelligent in conversation when the conversation is fucking Putin's going to kill everybody man. The origins of the Ukrainian crisis are to be found back in the 1990s at least. If someone was going to write a history of how we got where we are today, you'd start with the end of the Soviet Union and might start 400 years ago if you're gonna do Ukraine but the immediate history begins in 90's but it is current history

1:30:01 And even the youngest person in this room will remember. It's been in the newspapers, on the telly... You all know this current crisis that began in November 2013 and its history is clear and I think the facts of it are not disputable so we need to remind ourselves what happened In November 2013 a political dispute in Kiev over a proposed European trade agreement led to street protests that formed on a famous square called the Maidan, and led then depending on how you look at it this is a dispute to the overthrow or the downfall of Ukraine's elected president Viktor Yanukovych. He was a rotter he was corrupt he wasn't courageous but he was elected and everybody agreed the election had been fair in Ukraine. He was made to go away

1:31:00 And that event in Kiev, whether you look at it as a coup as the Russians do or as a glorious democratic revolution As some in the West and Ukraine do. It's a matter of interpretation That then led to protests in Eastern Ukraine because Yanukovych represented them his electoral base was largely an eastern Ukraine and that then led directly or indirectly to Russia's annexation of Crimea. And that led to the onset of the ongoing Ukrainian civil war between the country's not entirely but largely pro-Russian eastern provinces, that border Russia and its western provinces

1:31:49 Now, there's a sorry about the sound. It's a wireless mic and it just shit I mean but i think it's worth listening to and here's the history this is what I've been looking for so if this is a civil war what is really the dispute? There's very little information about the historical situation in Ukraine as it comes to who's who, did people really think they belong to Russia? And he has a beautiful little piece which I think is really the kicker of his information here. Why Ukraine is in civil war and how it was easy to manipulate and take advantage of the cultural geopolitical issues in the country. The American Orthodox assertion is that this is all due to Putin's aggression That's the phrase, Putin's aggression

1:32:36 And here too we find myths, beginning with this fundamental one. And I apologize to Ukrainians or people of Ukrainian descent in the room but if they think about it they'll agree with me All this talk of THE Ukraine and THE Ukrainian people striving to be free from Russian influence and join the West is, to put it politely, fragmentary For centuries, Ukraine has been a divided country It's not my fault. It's not Putin's fault, it's God's fault. Centuries of being formed from fragments of different empire left Ukraine divided religiously, ethnically, economically politically and geographically mainly between the pro-Russian eastern provinces and the western provinces that look to Europe but not only you find both sides in central Ukraine even in Kiev when this crisis began Ukraine had one state

1:33:39 I love that he says his or her mind, clearly referring to Victoria Nuland. And Hillary, yeah and Hillary were their techno experts. Either didn't know what was going on or just had bad intentions yes! Or didn't know Ukraine so the civil war that we now see in Ukraine is not Putin's fault it was latent at very least latent in Ukrainian society and history there you go all along all along That was the thing I needed to hear I need to understand that this has been...and although he says it's God's fault like okay

1:34:37 I think he's just using that as an example of things have happened over a thousand years. And there came the Kagans and the Newlands, McCain and Hunter Biden, the coke head And they just, all they had to do was throw a little bit of gas on the fire and it was good to go. Didn't take much. Did not take much at all... It's an undisputable proxy war if you want to hear Cohen about that? You like it or what are you thinking? Yeah I don't like the quality of sound but the information is good. Cohen's great! He's our goto guy for this information. He's very worried though he feels that this proxy war which he says is undisputable can get very dangerous so I have this... Yeah I think everyone agrees with that.

1:35:25 Yeah, but for real. Like something really bad happened... No I'm not saying that! But I am. For the first time i'm saying wait a minute Cohen is putting this a little bit differently and I was like whatever the cold wars are no big deal but it actually could come to some nasty blows It might be designed to God help us. It's his fault That civil war grew into a new Cold War between United States and NATO on one hand And Russia on the other And now as we talk, it has become a proxy American-Russian war. Russia indisputably is abetting militarily the rebel fighters or separatists or whatever you want to call them." And I appreciate him saying this so he says undisputably and i'll take his word for it... His research.. He has an appeal piece in the speech about how

1:36:18 how he may be wrong with his analysis, but these facts... He feels very strongly that he has the facts straight. Which is kind of what we do you know? We usually have the right facts and it's just an analysis Just turns out to be different from what the mainstream seems to be pushing. In Eastern Ukraine in the United States somewhat less openly is funding and arming Kiev's armies And as you know there's now a debate in Washington and a proposal that we fund them much more ground I believe $3 billion worth in the next three years with much more substantial weapons. Still worse, this new Cold War and there's no doubt about it call it by whatever name newspapers can't bring themselves to say they call it the worst crisis since the cold war

1:37:06 They can't bring them to say it's a new Cold War. Fine, they're hung up about this for various journalistic reasons." Well he doesn't explain that but I wanted to ask you... He says the media won't call it a cold war though- a new cold war they call it the worst crisis since the Cold War because of for journalistic reasons why can't they do that? What what do you know what he's referring to well the cold yeah I think I don't know for sure but I this is what I would believed to be true, is that the Cold War was a moment in time and it was very delineated. It's like if you wanted to take it to an extreme this is a repeat of World War I, you're not going to start calling it World War I

1:37:45 The Cold War is over. We have to have a term, the journalistic...you can't go back and... Got it! Wait till the Cold War ended like 15-20 years ago in like 90, 20 I guess you know it's 15 years ago, 20 years ago 25 year whatever 19 yeah while back so you can't start calling something this not proper It's not the cold war, the cold wars over some that happened in the past Understood So you could either say Cold War II No one's gonna do that. Well, they did it with World War II? Why...we keep talking about World War III why wouldn't they do it with Cold War, Cold War II? I don't think…it just doesn't sound right. Journalistic reasons. Journalistic reasons! It doesn't sound right. Come up with a new…there's gotta be something new. Frigid. For one thing the Soviet Union is gone so you can have another cold war now there's just us and Russia. How about the Cold War? The Colder War or the Coldest

1:38:39 And it's not...no, unless the Soviet Union reforms you can't use Cold War II. With World War II you could say it was the same combatants. It was France versus Germans and English. Well let's scrub in here! I'd like to scrub in a couple but the new term. Yeah, let's scrub in we should come up with something These things are hard to do this. No it's not no It's not it's not point at term and make its stick okay? Well We can do this oh well You have to keep in the back of our mind The chat room is now going to assist you into it now on the fly the lukewarm war or the freezing war just the pole

1:39:16 The polar vortex war. Okay, we can do better than that Wargate now. No come on board gate for gate Putin's pushback the Putin war the Putin were put in polar war Polar the Putin what now? The Putin war is not good. I don't think the Putin war is good the Ukraine agenda You create the Ukraine agenda yeah Well, Brzezinski had the grand chess game. Stuff like that. This is a part of that so maybe a subset how about checkers in Donetsk? The legacy! Chess in Kiev

1:40:02 Professor Stephen Cohen finds this all very dangerous and he points directly to what we deal with pretty much every single episode of this program. In fact, funnily he misspeaks and he says information instead of misinformation. He corrects himself halfway through but it is all about the information and the real... maybe that's it John? The bullcrap war. The propaganda war, the PR war... We'll work on it Here's his first list of dangers But this new code will be more dangerous than the last one

1:40:42 which we barely survived. Is this true? We barely survived the last Cold War? Well, it depends on your perspective there was always a lot of thought that we had everyone had their finger on the trigger and there was a couple missteps and we almost got into war over Cuba. Right. We could have all been killed and all the rest of it I mean is not that we barely survived as though we were shot to death in the crawl to the hospital and then they pumped enough blood into us that we revitalized. Not that kind of barely but Some sort of barely I think we need kind of like a hip-hop Term for it this time around something Kanye West might you know refer to in his song lyric, you know? Yeah The epicenter of the last cold war was in Berlin a long way from Moscow The epicenter of this Cold War is in Ukraine right plunk on Russia's borders and moreover. This I think is a great

1:41:41 Great point that he's making here about the epicenter being much closer to Russia than previously How about the kale war can we do that or was it not I like that? With many Ukrainians through intermarriage history and culture language I didn't know that.

1:42:33 And I looked it up, the fog of war is indeed refers to just lies. I always thought it meant something else like you're stunned by bombs exploding and no one knows what the hell was going on... I didn't know that either. Yeah, this is a lot of war which because World War One to get the Americans even go to that war we had to lie to the public, you know. And there's some great propaganda posters. Anyone out there can go to the Library of Congress and look up World War I propaganda posters and they have most of them digitized. And you have these big gorillas coming over...literally giant gorilla with a German Army cap on wearing uniform in a big gruesome looking gorilla carrying women under his arms and bashing things it's

1:43:19 Very funny, actually. But everyone I guess oh no those horrible guerrillas from Germany are going to kill us all! This technique works with the American public like a charm. The people that were afraid that ISIS is coming over to kill you after chopping off heads is just remarkable. It wasn't that...I'm trying to think because when was the Smith-Mundt Act put into place? That wasn't until the 70's so that was the true level of propaganda before it became outlawed under the Smith-Mundt Act, which I think was... A lot of it was orchestrated by Bernays and his protégés. Yes. But yeah no these posters you got to go look these up because some of them are just gems. I mean gems! And in fact

1:44:07 Who was the name to proper gerbils? No, there's no R. Goebbels. Yeah I know i can't say it any other way. Goebbels. Goebbels was a propaganda minister for the Nazis and he was a student and believed that the only reasons that the Germans didn't win World War One was because of American propaganda, and they were propagandizing the American public to want them to go to a war they wouldn't otherwise be interested in. And we had to do a better job—the Germans did—of propagandizing our people and around the world until the war really broke out. The Germans were very good at convincing everyone that this was great what they were doing taking over Austria and all the rest of it

1:44:49 And this is all because Goebbels was a genius and I would also recommend this. Wait, before you do that... Goebbels was nephew of course to Sigmund Freud Yeah, that's right. I vaguely remember this too. One of the things you should do... people who like to study this stuff- And everyone who produces the show should be studying it. This is the essence! This is the essence of what it's all about Nobody else will tell you to do this No not in their interest Find... there are some dot gerbils essays and some literature, it's available online. You can find it if you dig around read what he has to say It's very entertaining because he was

1:45:32 incredibly practical, and he also has developed a lot of his own ideas beyond what we were good at. And yeah, a lot of it's kind of been ignored some of its not but is something to read I recommend reading this guy and seeing what he was thinking and then he's constantly bitching about the United States being better at it than anybody else What I always like telling people is about Bernays famous cigarette smoking campaign for women in the 20s. Yeah, it was later wasn't it? No, I think was 1929 to 29. The industry wanted to overcome the biggest social taboo at the time women's smoking public. Women could only smoke and designated areas or not at all. Yeah there were sluts if they smoked

1:46:22 Yeah, I still think a woman smoking on the street is trashy. Not anyone smoking on the street is trashy but yeah that's very cultural. Women were arrested if they were violating any of these rules so the Bernays staged the Easter parade and during the Easter parade in 1929 New York City they had models in the parade with lit lucky strikes or what they called and this makes so much sense torches of freedom This is where all this bull crap comes from, that's in our culture. So there were hot women walking up in the parade and they were smoking and it was cool! And then we're like oh okay, it's accepted now

1:47:08 Yeah, he did know how to utilize the imagery of the elites. Yes To influence everybody else there's a number people study this if you get that's why if you get J in fact If you had this would put us over the top if you had Jay Z and Kanye and then maybe a couple of Well, actually those two for sure. Let's throw in... you want to throw in a white person? Yeah but what kind of white person could we think of? Ed Sheeran But he is not hip hop No no I'm talking about people that are known to everyone! Ed Shearan I never heard him how can he be known by everyone? Okay well

1:47:50 I don't know. Let's say Brad Pitt, for example. The hot shots and they all said boy there is nothing that makes my day than listening to the No Agenda show. We would be done! We would be making so much money it'd be outrageous like within a month everybody in the country will be listening to The No Agenda Show Yeah, you're right. How do we make that happen? Obama actually said something like oh yeah those guys at the no agenda show they really get on my nerves. Boom! We just took over the country. It's President Dvorak and Vice President Curry here

1:48:39 I mean, everyone would be listening. Podcasting from the White House. We'd have to pay attention to what our analyses were and the rest of it. That's how it works! Well maybe we can... You know? The only guy that mentions our show is Leo. This is the other end of the spectrum. Let's sit about some other podcaster. This is very very sad. It's not good. Oh man this doesn't make me feel very good Yeah, well let me finish this bit here. Secondly because this Cold War is unfolding in what was called in the run-up of World War I a fog of war that expression refers to misinformation before World War one there wasn't no email there were no digital communications so it took awhile It's flying today

1:49:36 It's information from Moscow, yes. It's information from Kiev, it's misinformation from Washington, it's misinformation out of Brussels. Even those who are following us who have the language skills to read in the original, who know their history often cannot figure out whose telling the truth and whose lying. It is hard to know the actual facts, but it comes down to the fact that the facts are all bad and dangerous and getting worse. There you go lies! Oh lies... We say a lot yeah lots of lies Yeah But I like hearing the professor say it's everybody's lying Washington Moscow Kiev we actually think we base our analysis on that premise Everybody's lying Possibility exists that everyone is lying Pretty much everybodys' lying

1:56:12 It was a good one. It came together perfectly, beautifully and... Oh it's gorgeous! Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Gorgeous slow clap. Slow clap is just gorgeous. Okay here is the future of media going to be. This is a little hint at what's going on. This is Mexico in the movies and James Bond. Well, producers of the upcoming James Bond film were recently instructed by Sony Pictures to rewrite the script. Why? Because the government in Mexico was willing to pay them to do so! The cost of the new Bond film were already skyrocketing when the Mexican government offered some $14 million for just four

1:56:47 minutes worth of scene changes. Plus another six million in incentives, things like showing more modern parts of a city using a known Mexican actress changing Bond's pursuit of a villain to happen during the Day of the Dead celebration instead of around a cage match all-in-all Sony has made the changes and it raised questions about the ability of foreign governments to shape movie scripts David Robinson president of Morgan Creek Productions says quote some movies wouldn't get made if it weren't for tax credits, that's brutally honest. If you didn't get that 20% or 30% back you'd have to cut the base or it would have to come from somewhere." See that North Korea? No need to hack just cut a check. This makes me very sad this is a very very sad report yeah this is so sad because you...the human resources

1:57:41 And these A-hole elites who are running the show, they really believe there's too many of us. I think as we started this program they really just want to kill a whole bunch of us! All they're doing is just mind control... It's in the movies it's in the television it's everywhere you have to throw out your television unplug And that'll never happen. I just, I see it going only in a very negative, very bad direction." Yeah well you can say if you run into people that are not...that are unplugged completely and don't watch television they seem more sane than everybody else and if you bring up the stuff that we do on our show like anything they go, uh, I don't know what global warming? Never heard of it yeah

1:58:32 Oh, never heard of it. I don't know if you've... Yeah? Well that's terrible that they're doing that! That's not good. And then they're fine and they're fine. The idea of current events which was drummed into us when we were kids-I remember when i was a kid before the internets. You know, the kids whose parents didn't have a newspaper subscription were scum! I remember that too yeah Oh, they don't read the newspaper? They won't know what's going on. Actually if you read the newspaper you DON'T know what is going on. If you listen to Noah Jett it sure will do. Well you get at least an analysis and we cut through some of it... We try to give a broad swath but its not always easy

1:59:21 But at least we can combat some of the bull crap and get people thinking. No one is going to be able to... When they have Mexico paying to have Mexico in there, that has an effect! So anybody can come in and buy anything. And the joke at the end of that I think is correct even though North Korea didn't hack anything but just anybody can cut a check and get whatever they want. Yeah you can get publicity for Apple for example So they had this clip on, it was a promotion for the Apple Watch. It was so obviously native advertising but there were a couple of gotchas in here that said wait a minute if this is top secret why are you there? Which is the first question I always ask but let's play the Apple and how great they are clip. Cupertino based Apple has a top-secret place to work out

2:00:17 Take a look inside this warehouse. Apple employees have been testing high-tech Apple workout gear for nearly two years This is our first look inside Fancy headgear measures breathing and the Apple watch tracks calories, heart rate and even tells you to stand up if you've been sitting for too long Apple calls it the future of health care Wow That's the future of healthcare. By the way, they show all these people on treadmills They had these things on their faces as the future of slavery would have been the future like a slave group Slave get up slave you saw them the dark knight or one of the now the latest Batman guy Bane He has this thing over his face. Yeah, and these guys all had that thing a thing over their face It looked like a gas mask kind of a thing with is it creepy looking the whole thing was creepy But they're working in exercising another watch is gonna tell you to stand up because you stand on slave long human It'll be more like human resource human resource You must stand up now

2:01:14 You must stand up. You are not making efficient use of your vessel. Human resource, time to stand! Time to sit! Human resource you need nutrition! Nutrition is needed now! Exactly! That sounds great. But that's exactly what it is! Human resource, time for rest! Take your soma tablets Now we're talking a little earlier about this character that's the Jeff Rathke being a short-termer. I think you're right because I have a clip Yeah, these are all good

2:01:58 This is during a press conference, this guy they ask him some simple question and this is his answer. And I have to comment on it after its done, this little clip. This is Iran talks and the new spokes hole Iran, the U.S., and five other powers broke off nuclear talks in Switzerland today. The Iranian delegation returned home for the funeral of their president's mother. Secretary of State John Kerry said the discussions have been very productive and in Washington his spokesman urged patience We're focused on the deadline at the end of March and that's why you know there's we have the intention to go back and resume talks So where we're focused on that and and focused on getting getting good deal The way I'm yes, it's a good deal What is he buying the car?

2:02:51 I'm thinking is it going for the focused on getting good deal. He's going for the March Madness sale in Iran there Rowan what was what is their New Year called again? Ro show Ron row one Ramadan no, no the new year Oh cockroach No You're just yelling random things now. Insects, cockroaches... I know it's a new year coming up and some Persian guy... Are you just yelling random insect names? We are being very culturally insensitive. Mosquito! I could look it up but I'm hoping someone in the chat room will say it because then they don't know The thing Obama celebrated a week earlier than it really was

2:03:32 But my understanding is the guy's mother passed. Yeah, so they had to go back home? Yeah and so everyone got there and like dude I'm not gonna beg you don't feel like talking right now i'll give you a good deal when you come back! I gave you a good deal. He said buying a rug Norooz that's what it was norooz yeah yes yeah I think they're in the round of 16 Yes but we're going to get a good deal It's ludicrous just ludicrous I like it but its ludicrous And then we have the ISIL stunt to recruit Western youth. ISIL is also well known for its slick media operation bombarding the web. Slick media operation! Wooo!

2:04:18 with propaganda as well as those sickening videos of executions. But now it's taking a rather peculiar and unsettling turn, militant figures posing with cute animals or holding bunches of flowers for instance they're even promoting their own accessories with images of rings or pictures of small children wearing Islamic State logos political analyst Daniel Wagdon says the media stunt here is aimed at recruiting Western youth wait a minute They're pumping out merchandise? Did you miss this?! Yeah! I'm astounded. Well, they've got mostly pictures with doggies and kittens... little puppies. Yeah like our newsletter. And they're holding them and they have a gun with them and they are holding them. Hold on a second. Attention! Unlawful content citizen! Kittens and puppies are unlawful content! They can be used to self-radicalize

2:05:09 Now they had here's what got me about the clip though even though this is like it This is gonna go nowhere. Is they show a picture of a little kid like a three-year old holding a printed Flag and I guess had a ISIS t-shirt on which should probably available somewhere So they have your shop face was was obscured by the you know some Program is blocked at the at the Cali. They just before were these Isis clips Why are they blocking faces who's doing it? Is that ice is doing it to protect the little girl or what what's the point? That's a good question

2:05:47 It's like, oh I don't know we didn't get a clearance. We didn't she didn't write a uh... We didn't get a clearance of writing you know she didn't sign the document. She didn't sign the waiver. The waiver that's what I'm looking for. Didn't sign a waiver so let's block her face! No i think it was probably a non-union child actor? That's probably what it was this is yeah I know. Isis. We will follow them to the gates of ISIS and her head is gone that's right That's... I need to get a hold of some of this ISIS merchandise. I would very much like to have a hoodie and that's your line, John don't you want an Isis hoodie? An Isis hoodie! Yeah

2:06:35 An ISIS hoodie would be nice? Well, you could wear probably an ISIS sweatshirt or an ISIS t-shirt around town as this big tall blonde guy. But once you wear the hoodie and put that thing over your head... Yeah, that's... ...and you can't really kind of secure yourself, somebody is going to attack ya'. Although I betcha if you went down the street because they do this on their various talk shows at night, I'll betcha if you put an ISIS sweatshirt on in Austin and walk down one of those streets where all the bars are, went to a couple bars. Rainy street. And ask people what this meant they wouldn't know That was... yeah you're probably right You're probably right

2:07:18 That's cool, man. I like it's kind of like a dude It's like the Raiders flag man. That's man is an inkblot III can see people having sex in there But also should have your name and your name in Arabic and then a Toyota logo underneath that you know Blake really just In Arabic would be good. I really jammed up All right I want to thank a few people before we do that into and give you some instruction on how to survive the information apocalypse who Maybe that's it. Maybe the new Cold War is the information apocalypse. I'm writing it down. Okay, good. Here's Charlie Rose who isn't elite and he slipped! I guess now he's doing some work in the evenings on CBS so he does The Morning Show... Oh, this guy's gonna drop dead. But he's a horned dog and- He's always been a horned dog. He doesn't have time for sex that's why Man, can someone please

2:08:19 Can someone blow Charlie, man? He's getting a little nutty. Here is the one we had when he talked to Angelina Jolie Find a lobbyist and then they can get him some action Tell me about this sexuality It's in your DNA Was it Angelina Jolie? I keep getting that wrong Is that or Scarlett Johansson? Some hot actress for sure And so now he is taking a toss back from Nora McDonald who was very pretty Norm McDonald Nora McDonald Oh, Norah McDonnell. Yeah, Nora she's cute I Don't know she's cute very very pretty girl and she's doing she's on remotes. I forget doesn't even matter oh It's about the the plane that skidded off the runway at look well that almost ended in the water at LaGuardia

2:09:04 Was that just before the weekend, I think. So just listen to how he comes back after she's tossing from her report back to him in the studio. Kept us out of that water. Airport officials say the runway was plowed and that two pilots reported good conditions minutes before flight 1086 skidded out of control. Charlie? Good to see you in the evening! Next time dinner on a warm fire Nora. Thank you so much Dude, oh yeah. She's on the morning show she's under today's choice like next time dinner and a warm fire Yeah, no he's a horned dog you're right, and that's that's it told that is a man this month That is inappropriate behavior I liked it though. I'm gonna try it myself Next time dinner in a warm fire. Yeah, well try it out see if that's the line that works Maybe I don't know maybe Charlie Rose has some magic hey I get the feeling he doesn't turn

Now Annie donated on Thursday and uh...I think i said send pictures would that be something I would say maybe? You say that constantly Uh so subject line you earned it Hi Adam you most certainly earned yourself a picture in the last episode not only did you read my email but you talked about my hometown! I had lived in the Brookfield-Newton line my entire life Newtown

2:17:52 I've honestly been hesitant, to say the least, to speak of my hometown and childhood friendship with Adam Lanza. If you haven't figured it out in your head we were the same age! My incredible boyfriend Max Turnquist got me into this show and has constantly asked me to tell more about my town... although i'm still hesitant to tell a lot, ill give you a little A very close friend mentioned that she had spoken to him about her military career and this close friend is a private first class. I don't know how successful that was for him between August and December, but i'm guessing it didn't go well. I'm actually in a very odd position as far as this goes because after the event my mother's company sold the Newtown Public School District their current security system! It's Honeywell's instant alert and in case of any kind of emergency it immediately contacts the parents through email text or phone call." That's interesting...

2:18:47 I don't think that happened. Did it happen? Did that go out?" I never heard this! I haven't heard either, and she says not gonna lie but that sale did help fund my degree. I'm starting to think everywhere i end up living is cursed first Newtown then Boston...I lived only a few blocks from the finish line in undergrad Maybe it's her Well that's what she's saying But here's what's interesting In The Random Number Theory about an hour later I get an email from Max Turnquist with her boyfriend And so separate emails And his subject line is, I'm drunk and have crystals. Obviously this got my attention. Um... Hey Adam love your show and Annie you read the note of yesterday as my GF and one of the several people i've hit in the mouth. I also have a crystal collection which brings me to my point Is there any crystal you'd want? Hey sorry for the incoherence! I'm like eight drinks deep Also Annie sent you pics hope you enjoy. Heheheh. I thought that was really nice

2:19:50 What, did he offer you crystals? Well no. They came in...they're both uh..he hit her in the mouth and she became a listener She's gonna be very...a producer A very good source for us I mean this is....I don't know! I have a feeling something good is coming out of this Well maybe At least you got a picture Yeah I forwarded it to you didn't see that Oh oh she emailed the picture I thought she sent one Oh yeah, oh no, emailed hello Netanyahu did his thing. I missed all of this, BB. Yeah, I missed all of this is whatever it's scaremongering there for Congress and the way that was played. I don't give a crap but anyway he won. He won his election by I guess substantial margin even though the media paid soliciting sales by saying it's a tight race

2:20:43 I just want to play this bit of him thinking maybe on Megyn Kelly. I don't know what's it, what this is from? I think it was Megyn Kelly the difference between the Prime Minister of Israel and the President of the United States and This is a lot of people who do not like this guy But he just sounds like a cocky schoolyard bully It's really...I just wanted to play this What I wanted to ask you is what's the difference between of the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Israel. And I said, Megan that the President of the United States, I believe is always concerned about the security of the United States The prime minister of Israel and i can speak personally in the nine years that have been in office there's not been a day

2:21:31 that I haven't thought about the things i have to do to protect the survival of Israel. And that's a difference, we're the country that is most threatened with destruction around the world. I love this! Wait a minute... Have you seen Syria? Have you seen Ukraine? Have you been in Somalia, Yemen? Yemen! Thank You. It's the latest. The survival just the survival of Israel I don't know BB but he listen this ends this way and it's my responsibility to ensure that this state the one and only Jewish State lives forever

2:22:13 That's a big burden, but that's why I'm here. That's why i was elected Smith! That's right bitch! I'm here to kick some ass! That's what I was elected the war man What a dick! He's having fun. Let me just give him a douche bag. He deserves it. Yes let's take a look at the uh something going on in Yemen. I got a couple clips There's the NewsHour Yemen bombing report, which was a gem. And then there is a backgrounder...actually that's not the backgrounder where is the other Yemen? You've got a Syrian backgrounder on some of these. Yeah it's different. Well let's play the NewsHour Yemen bombing report so people can catch up with what's going on after the Houthis kind of took over.

2:22:53 Now a full-scale civil war is breaking out. This was the day of terror in the capital of Yemen Rebel TV in the city reports at least 137 people died and some 350 were wounded in a wave of bombings A stunned witness said blood was running like a river It was the deadliest attack in decades, in a country torn by strife Four bombings rocked two crowded mosques during Friday prayers. Amid the carnage, men frantically tended to the wounded. Blood and debris littered the street and witnesses tried to make sense of what happened. We were in the mosque during the sermon when we first heard an explosion outside near the security perimeter

2:22:13 That's a big burden, but that's why I'm here. That's why i was elected Smith! That's right bitch! I'm here to kick some ass! That's what I was elected the war man What a dick! He's having fun. Let me just give him a douche bag. He deserves it. Yes let's take a look at the uh something going on in Yemen. I got a couple clips There's the NewsHour Yemen bombing report, which was a gem. And then there is a backgrounder...actually that's not the backgrounder where is the other Yemen? You've got a Syrian backgrounder on some of these. Yeah it's different. Well let's play the NewsHour Yemen bombing report so people can catch up with what's going on after the Houthis kind of took over.

2:22:53 Now a full-scale civil war is breaking out. This was the day of terror in the capital of Yemen Rebel TV in the city reports at least 137 people died and some 350 were wounded in a wave of bombings A stunned witness said blood was running like a river It was the deadliest attack in decades, in a country torn by strife Four bombings rocked two crowded mosques during Friday prayers. Amid the carnage, men frantically tended to the wounded. Blood and debris littered the street and witnesses tried to make sense of what happened. We were in the mosque during the sermon when we first heard an explosion outside near the security perimeter

2:23:41 When the first explosion happened, they used the chaos to enter the mosque in the middle of prayer and blow us up from inside the building. Both mosques are controlled by Shiite Houthi rebels who stormed the capital last fall and are said to have Iran's backing The rebels control a growing swath of northern Yemen and have extended their reach westward They've battled the Sunni-dominated Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula which holds sway in much of central Yemen Adding to the chaos, the Islamic State group also Sunni claimed today's bombings and warned of a flood of attacks to oust the Houthis. What is this Islamic state group name we have? All of sudden... Sorry what? Well now it's not just saying Islamic state but The Islamic State Group she said

2:24:30 Yeah, I heard that. I didn't pay attention to it. I don't know. I have no idea Okay It just sounded like maybe that was something new is a new way of describing we'll have to pay attention to it making it central Yemen Adding to the chaos, the Islamic State group also Sunni claimed today's bombings and warned of a flood of attacks to oust the Houthis. That drew a skeptical response in Washington It does appear that these kinds of claims are often made for a perception that they have that it benefits their propaganda efforts The US has struggled to maintain any influence in Yemen

2:25:10 Through President Abd-Rabbu Mansur Hadi. He was chased from the capital and his loyalists are now fighting to hold a power base in the south." I really am always tickled by the use of propaganda. So Brene has invented propaganda, but it's always Eastern or Mideastern who do propaganda ISIS IS we don't have propagandas. The IS group. Maybe that's a PR firm. Islamic State Group, it sounds like a joint venture between two different... The ISIL-ISIS and the Islamic State became the Islamic State Group LLC. It's a roll up. That's the way to deal with it. Yeah no kidding. Because Islamic state was just two words and nobody liked that

2:26:08 Because ISIL, ISIS, ISIL-ISIS is Islamic State. Yeah, it gives you a lot more. Yeah I agree. But now it's Islamic State group. It has a ring to it that I think could stick. I'm glad you caught that. I did not catch that. Yeah, well we'll see what it is. Ashton Carter, Ash Carter the new war secretary for the United States was being grilled by Representative Walorski? I think he's from Indiana. And a good question, not a great question but a good question and there's some setup here as the President of the United States has said climate change is the number one threat.

2:26:47 But we've had other number one threats because there's no real coordination with all this messaging that is going on. They need a number one state group. They do need a state group, otherwise you run into trouble here as Ashton Carter who is gonna get out of it pretty much unscathed but he obviously will never answer the question Our president said in his State of the Union address that the number one threat to the national defense is climate change. General Mullen, Admiral Mullen just a few years ago said he believes the number one national defense issue in our nation is the debt and our country do you believe that the debt this nation is carrying nearly 18 billion as we're sitting here as well having budget conversations is more of a threat? This isn't so see what happens here

2:26:08 Because ISIL, ISIS, ISIL-ISIS is Islamic State. Yeah, it gives you a lot more. Yeah I agree. But now it's Islamic State group. It has a ring to it that I think could stick. I'm glad you caught that. I did not catch that. Yeah, well we'll see what it is. Ashton Carter, Ash Carter the new war secretary for the United States was being grilled by Representative Walorski? I think he's from Indiana. And a good question, not a great question but a good question and there's some setup here as the President of the United States has said climate change is the number one threat.

2:26:47 But we've had other number one threats because there's no real coordination with all this messaging that is going on. They need a number one state group. They do need a state group, otherwise you run into trouble here as Ashton Carter who is gonna get out of it pretty much unscathed but he obviously will never answer the question Our president said in his State of the Union address that the number one threat to the national defense is climate change. General Mullen, Admiral Mullen just a few years ago said he believes the number one national defense issue in our nation is the debt and our country do you believe that the debt this nation is carrying nearly 18 billion as we're sitting here as well having budget conversations is more of a threat? This isn't so see what happens here

2:27:38 And this is a problem because you know be Admiral Mullen I mean he's retired But you can't like just be telling saying the guy was full of crap, and then you're gonna say the president's full of crap This is a tough question here put in a terrible spot. Yes your it's between a rock and a hard place untenable What you gonna do billion as we're sitting here as well having what she got engines Is more of a threat to this nation's national security than climate change? No First you go all out. Fuck me with a chainsaw! There are number of serious dangers to the future of our country. I would agree with you, sir. I'm just trying to get perspective from where your coming from as we're going to be voting on a huge leap in this budget and i think the American people want to know where the national defense leader is coming from as well Do you believe that The Nation's Dead is a greater issue than climate change?

2:28:34 What I don't like about this is, this is grandstanding on her part. This leads to nothing and has nothing to do with more money... Is she a Democrat or Republican? I want to know where she's coming from. Republican. So she is probably thinking that the debt is a bigger deal than climate change and she wants to see what this guy thinks. I think she's just trying to put him off balance, but she's alluding to the increase... No, she's an idiot you can tell. But anyway play on. But, okay but the people's business being done by idiots grandstanding is annoying. As our commander in chief has stated? I think they're both serious problems and there are other serious problems that are not those two. Trying to deflect good. We have to deal with all of those strategic challenges at the same time you're naming 2 of the problems...I'm naming what the commander-in-chief said as a budget that you guys have been defending here for 3 hours

2:29:30 That's what you're doing. I'm just saying, he says the greatest threat to our nation is climate change and we're trying to make an argument that says the greatest threat to this nation in trying to rally people into understanding is that we have an issue of debt that an admiral went on record to say was a serious consequence and a threat to the survivability of this country did you agree? I think that to the extent that it drives budget behavior like the year-to-year struggle with sequester that we faced, that is a challenge to our national security because of the challenge to our national defense. I think we have threats around the world that are very dangerous to us

2:30:15 I think that to get back to an earlier line of questioning, the strength of our nation depends upon other instruments of national power than our military power. I think in the long run, the strength of our nation depends upon our ability to educate people and have scientists... You get the idea he's just going to kill his way out with words Yeah, well they have a time...they're timed. So they can know that most of these guys...hey I can't tell you're wasting my time telling me this stuff while you ask me the question." Exactly. That's bull crap! Yes she is a dick. We were talking earlier what we've talked a lot about the unlawful content clause in this packet equality business of so-called net neutrality which is really the only thing we are interested in who's going to determine what prohibited content is and how will that be enforced?

2:31:11 And of course, one piece of the answer to that is if you really want to enforce any type of qualification or content certainly. You're going to have to do packet inspection and so there's a whole bunch of stuff that comes with that but really just what things would be unlawful Producer Drew sent this note. He said, if you're looking for a good summary of what content can be considered unlawful I can imagine that the Google AdSense terms and conditions will serve as a disturbingly prescient list for the coming shackles of our net slavery." And i thought that's probably true! That anything that is good enough for content from Google who like making money then we could probably expect that to be lawful in net neutrality terms? What do you think?

2:32:00 Uh, yeah probably but I don't know. It's an interesting idea. Well the list... I don't think Google is going to be calling the shots on this because they're out to get Google. Yeah but if you look at Culturally, in the United States what is acceptable as lawful content or just acceptable by whatever terms of values we have as a society. I think Google would try to push that as far as possible to make as much money but still have an arguably agreeable list

2:32:39 And I think that's probably what we'd see. You don't see it that way? Because I thought it made a lot of sense. No, I don't see it that way at all because there is not going to be an inclusive list, there's gonna be exclusive lists and there's not gonna be a list on what you can do, There's gonna be a list on what you can't do so Google doesn't apply. But that's why Google has this they have a list of what you can't have on AdSense That's my point. Yeah, but they don't have... There's a lot of stuff on AdSense that you can do that wouldn't be on it. I mean there is stuff that Google would never think that you shouldn't do and there is gonna be a lot of stuff that's political that Google is not gonna put on that list and to Google, I just don't think so. It's just dumb. It's funny you say that because I thought actually... Because Google has a lot very detailed. It's really completely detailed

2:33:28 I think there's a lot on that list that would be deemed illegal. Let's put it that way. Just because Google won't take it as an ad doesn't mean its going to be made illegal or unlawful, this could be all kinds of reasons they wouldn't. They don't probably take ads for Yahoo! I just thought there was an interesting list of things like adult content, the way they look at copyrighted material. Because these are the things that will matter... I have to look at the list now because you're so insistent. Well that's why I had the list. Let me just start with adult content. What constitutes adult content that Google will not allow you to advertise on? Discussions about vaginal creams! Did you just read that from the list?!

2:34:13 adult content. Yeah, I think it actually there's something like that there's something very similar to that in the list. I'm sure women's groups will be up in arms about what you can't do What? We can't talk about this we need to for women's health! Well here it is nudity and pornography so that's sexually... The naturalists, the naturalists. We're at a nude club here in Hayward California we resent being banned from discussing our nudity I've always thought that the naturalists were kind of sketchy anyway. Google ads may not be placed on content that provides tips regarding sexual performance or discusses some treatments of sexual health issues. The sex therapist would be up in arms about that! Examples include, but are not limited to advice about improving sexual performance discussions and or images of sexually transmitted diseases

2:35:04 Sexual health advice related to pregnancy, childbirth... Promoting sexually transmitted diseases. Yeah! Explicit text and extreme profanity. Google ads may not be placed... Free speech issues. Here it comes. Erotic stories and or descriptions of sexual acts. Sexual explicit jokes. Erotic or sexual forums bulletin boards and discussion groups. Sexual or profane terms in the URL. Crude language or excessive amounts of profanity Well, they have to podcasts out there. Yeah. Mail order brides? What's wrong with that? Well, you can't be in that business if you want to have AdSense. Well, it's not going to be unlawful now. You're probably right. They have the engineers and Silicon Valley have mail order brides before but they've an interesting clause here for comment spam. So if you have comments, spam that is copy and pasted from other sources

2:36:07 Anything that also counts against your lawfulness for the ad sense. Yeah, see this is falling apart too soon It's a specious idea it sounds good Okay doesn't make any sense of D when you're done all said and done I'm good And I hate to use all said and done because that's one my my mental fix For at the end of the day. I don't say the end of the day rarely say but I always have some One something just as bad It's taken a while, but finally we're going after Kaspersky the Russian cyber security firm. Who is going after him? Well, we are Bloomberg. Bloomberg? You know Kaspersky Labs has been an object of fascination for a lot of US-based security folks for a long time primarily... This is a Bloomberger reporter

2:37:06 talking about Kaspersky. Because it's a Moscow-based company, as you mentioned and the founder Eugene Kaspersky was once affiliated with the KGB but what we've discovered through our reporting is that the ties go much deeper than that for example one of the most interesting findings is there's a man at the company named Igor Chekhanov he's their chief legal officer until we started asking questions he didn't have a public bio I But until now we haven't had a really clear picture of what that looks like at Kaspersky Lab. And that was the point we tried to make in the story, is try to put some names and faces to you know what the company's ties to Russian government agencies looks like and there were some really revealing findings in there. So they did a scathing article...

2:38:10 on Kaspersky. That looks like a rigged story if ever there was. Well, yes! Isn't that just more get rid of the Russians? I've been waiting for that to happen. You know the funny thing is... now you mention that.. The funny thing is I've kind of been waiting for that to happen for the last number of years. And here it is finally. Because Kaspersky on the surface is fishy Well, of course. They're Russian! They're in Moscow... Yeah they are Russian. Not that these other companies like you have Vast and the two or three other ones are all Eastern European. Panda is in Spain which is probably the safest one and there's 2-3 in the United States. There all over the place these guys

2:38:58 And actually, this Bloomberg guy goes on to explain in this pretty short clip how it really works and what the job is truly to sell products of these cybersecurity companies. And one of the reasons Kaspersky Lab is able to put out such reports is that they are places where U.S. companies are not But also there is a tendency at the company to focus on those threats, you know at the expense of let's say Russian based hacking attacks that US companies really like to focus on. So there is this split and as one analyst said there is cyber isolationism that occurring within the industry if your a U.S.-based company with ties to NSA your going to report on Russian-based hacks and Chinese based hacks

2:39:43 If you're a Russian-based company, you're going to focus on US based hacks. And we're seeing that split emerging and Kaspersky's are really kind of great example of that. Here is my problem... It's good business. ...if I'm not mistaken, correct me, Kaspersky is the ones who busted us on Stuxnet? Yes So we have to get back at them There you go Because Stuxnet should've never been revealed and there's something else floating around out there similar What does that thing... yeah it has a crazy name It's been embedded for decades or something. It's like just pieces have been uploaded. Right, everybody has got it. Yeah. It was kind of like the herpes of computers

2:42:07 What are we doing? This is the level that content has sunk. That should be deemed illegal content right there. I would agree, illegal content. That's disgusting. Finally for me this Clinton Haiti scandal...I'm enjoying this immensely because of course the day after the George Clooney organized well way before it even The George Clooney organized telethon around the world people were texting and phoning in their ten dollar, ten euro donations. And from pretty much the get-go we followed this closely on this show of the money is gone it seems to be in Clinton's web of money

2:42:55 The Clinton global initiative, the complete shills being put in this president just total madhouse. And now Hillary Clinton's brother is coming to light although we discussed it and we must have talked about it two years ago Okay, it's some of course now we have you know Republicans out trying to discredit Hillary So now they put push this out there. They saved it ha I got a good one that her brother got these gold mine rights The thing don't pay almost nothing for it which is true because that's how the Clinton's operate yes Yeah, well you're not really going to hear it. I don't think because people don't give us shit Don't care they just don't care so the Haiti thing vote for Hilary cuz she's a woman ah

2:43:39 Let me see, I have Clinton here. This is a leading Haitian lawyer. and human rights activist, Azeely Danto charges UN envoy to Haiti Bill Clinton as head of the Haitian relief fund who was responsible for some $6 billion of international relief aid received. Less than 1% of this amount made it to the Haitian government. Bill Clinton had total control of the balance." She adds Hillary and Bill Clinton opened Haiti in quotes as their private asset to liquidate. This sounds exactly right! We're open for business to liquidate this whole country. They used the resources of the World Bank, the State Department USAID and the UN, The private military security contractors, The US Military and the Fed's passport and visa issuance capabilities. They got kickbacks called donations from anyone who wished to buy from them a piece of the Haitian lands, oil, iridium, uranium or gold

2:44:38 The Clintons have used governmental power to conduct their private business and call it helping poor Haitians. Danto adds that Bill Clinton made no attempt to conceal his Haiti aid corruption, neither did US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. They pushed their own Haiti staff members into nominal positions of power to rubber stamp their edicts. Haiti Prime Minister Gary Connil who succeeded John Max Bellerive worked as chief of staff for Bill Clinton as a UN development expert As Cheryl Mills, another Clinton staffer named in the Clinton email gate scandal who today is on the board of the Clinton Foundation also served as United States representative on the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission. The IHRC. So you see how the web works? All their friends are in there getting all the deals for the money. This guy's unbelievable and I guess there's always

2:45:29 I think the tradition in Hades, according to the Christian missionaries is that Hades was sold to the devil. That's why they've always had problems and there's always a devil running him...running the place and Clinton sounds right to me. The Washington Post is all over this story so it's got legs. It's got legs. And you know what? I'm thinking… They're going after Hillary, you're right. Yeah, today or tomorrow, the Clintons are gonna start whacking people pretty soon. You gotta be careful with them. You know, now you're going to see people committing suicide. Bad Coke. That'll be the... whatever! He's dead Jim! Two to the head gun in the left hand that kind of stuff. If you watch this is going to happen we are at a very bad point when you push the Clintons into this kinda corner

2:46:26 I think it's gonna be pretty bad. But anyway, i'm happy to see this because yes we have if you just go to search dot na show notes dot com and type in Haiti You can see how long we've been looking at this And the thing that just bothers me is that no one is outraged that these people stole your money Stole your money these guys here We just need cash. I know a lot of people want us in blankets or water Just send your cash. We had three presidents saying this, no water no blankets send your cash and they put it in their own pocket and gave it to their friends and relatives. Please! People stop that. Listen we got to do one more thing I just want to get this out of the way because we're falling behind on a couple of topics

2:47:21 And I just want to draw on a backgrounder on this one. Actually, I have two of these that I'd like to get rid off. One is the background or the Venezuela situation we do not talk about it. We have people that bitch at us for this. Somehow Obama has declared Venezuela as huge threat to our national security... Yes! It was an executive order. ...for unknown reasons and were still their top trading partner while sanctioning them. There's something again… Of course, this isn't one of these make goods where Some didn't go as planned. It's in the book, The Confessions of an Economic Hitman about Venezuela and why we got a grudge against them is all about the oil and who owns it and Jesus giving...they're pumping oil and giving it to people there now that... They've given it to poor people. It's just shitty business practice. But the whole operation is sketchy but play this on Democracy Now! This is a current rap which I believe will get us off the hook for not talking about

2:48:19 The Obama administration is facing criticism across South America for leveling new sanctions against Venezuela and declaring the country to be a, quote, unusual and extraordinary threat to national security. On Saturday, foreign ministers of the 12-country Union of South American Nations called for a revocation of the sanctions in a statement. The minister said it constitutes an interventionist threat to sovereignty and the principle of noninterference in the internal affairs of other countries On Thursday, U.S. policy in Venezuela was also questioned during a meeting of the Organization of American States in Washington. Representatives from Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina and other nations all criticized the U.S. approach.

2:49:03 According to a report by TeleSUR, Breno Díaz da Costa, Brazil's OAS representative said, quote, Venezuela issue should be resolved by the Venezuelan people without sanctions. José Miguel Insulza of Chile is secretary general of the Organization of American States. We all recognize the right of Venezuela its people its government its political parties Its social organizations to resolve its problems and crisis without outside interference With full respect of its Constitution and the human rights of all its citizens Okay, that's it this is a backup I just would just there's nothing to comment on

2:49:48 We just have to... I think we just have to wait for it to unfold. I don't see any other information really coming out of this. No, but you do have to mention that's in play. Yeah well, I've consistently been putting under the regime change heading stories about Venezuela and about the executive orders which haven't talked about on the show is not like it hasn't been a part of being on our radar or anything. Right, that's right I just want to make that clear okay all right the only other one is by the way it's two guys this is us two guys yeah we don't have so much time and these things are not boiling enough for us to get too involved but any help was appreciated anything anything home in square There's a Chicago, this has been another story that we haven't covered. It has been bubbling up and it is still floating around and there is like a Gitmo Guantanamo Bay warehouse in the middle of Chicago. This is where Chicago cops are throwing people to torture them. Chicago cops bring guys in there, they don't book them, they beat him up, they don't book him, the lawyer can't get in, lawyers can't even get near the place and lawyers are bitching and bonin'. And now there some suits happening and this is a home and square

2:50:50 By the way, Chicago—I'm sure this thing's been around for a while. But let's play the Holman Square clip and then I'm done with that for now. A top Chicago police commander has resigned following reports of abusive methods at the secretive Holman Square compound. The Guardian revealed people taken to the nondescript warehouse had been denied access to attorneys beaten and held incommunicado, without notification to their families. The Guardian now reports Nicholas Rotey, chief of the Bureau of Organized Crime which operates out of Holman resigned last week. Attorneys for three people held at Holman have announced plans to file a civil rights lawsuit in a bid to shut the facility down

2:51:33 The only thing interesting about this story to me, because it's not really a total surprise that something like this would be going on in Chicago. But what is interesting is that only the Guardian, a British paper, is covering it! The local papers won't touch it! Why is that? Because they don't want to get beat up and taken home and tortured I have no idea other than that The Guardian, even when it's in another paper like the New York Times where I saw a report yesterday. It was all quoting from The Guardian. Chicago is a corrupt crappy place! Because they're run by MI5 or MI6... Well then what's going on with Chicago? What's the deal with The Guardian and let's just see what happens if Cucci wins the election

2:52:23 You mean Chewy? Chewy. Coochie? Coochie Garcia. Coochie may just very well win the election. Well that's April 7th I think, is it not? It's coming up real soon. That's my birthday! Alright so your birthday...well we still have one show before your birthday Yeah April 5th is my birthday and that'll be Easter Nice And will you working on Easter Yes We'll be working both on Easter AND my birthday Which is the same day.
