00:00 A little less jingles? Really?! Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak It's Thursday April 2nd 2015 time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 709-er! This is no agenda Celebrating our autistic freedom and broadcasting live from the Crackpot Condo in downtown Austin Tate House FEMA Region 6 In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where the garbage trucks are making more noise than usual I'm John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning... Was it the garbage trucks that caused the, uh, booming sound?

00:37 Did you hear a booming sound? No, I heard reports that people up in your neck of the woods were hearing booms in the middle of the night. You know, I've...I've heard about these booms. There's apparently this is going on at Washington too and Mimi said she...I asked her about this specifically because she was out there during a booming episode and she's...I don't know what she told me now that you mentioned it. You kind of forgot what she said I think she said that she's her maybe heard something or somebody told where they heard something This is I thought this is near Berkeley. We're and where you are not up not up in Washington Oh, there was something going on at Washington That was more booming oh Or with something else some noise some strange noise they can't identify the booming Yeah, yeah we heard the train

01:25 We heard the train all right. The train? All right, so you did not witness said booming so it's a... I didn't witness any way i'm you know it's possible if I heard something now that you mention it there was some something to sound like gunshots That's what people say it sounded a bit like but more like hit like a cannon fire is what people were saying If you don't know about it, then it doesn't matter because I have no idea. I don't know about it But I may have actually heard it but you know hearing gunshots or cannon fire around here What else is new? Well, it's a new month John You know what that means yeah new month new month means new Proclamations it also means I'm getting close to my birthday on Sunday That's right

02:11 We have new proclamations. Okay, well let's hear them! It is a busy month... Busy, busy, busy month and a busy day actually today we have National Child Abuse Prevention Month which is of course always a good thing these are all presidential proclamations as written up as such it was also national sexual awareness sexual assault sexual sexual assault awareness and prevention month Right, the rest of the year you can go ahead. Yeah do whatever you want! The write-ups are often quite interesting and I always put these in the show notes and it's just...I'm not gonna read all of them maybe we'll pick out one today because it is also National Donate Life Month for 2015

03:01 How's that accomplished? Let's read this. At this moment, more than 123 thousand Americans are in need of a life-saving organ transplant. Our nation continues to face a critical shortage Every day 21 people die waiting for an organ. So the president wants you to go to the donor registry at organdonor dot gov I never thought that was a good idea. I feel bad if someone needs something I don't know what they would want from me. I know what you're thinking, you're thinking you sign up the next thing you know some guys with black masks over their heads steal your organs and then throw you in a ditch. You wake up in the bathtub with lipstick on the mirror, you know the bathtub with the ice? Yeah we all... We all know that story it is also national cancer control month! I found this to be an interesting choice of words uh we're no longer I guess trying to cure cancer we're just trying to control it

04:06 That is interesting. Let's see what the president says, this month we stand with all those touched by cancer and redouble our efforts to prevent detect oh I know what it is disease yeah okay I know why they changed it you do because it encourages drugs drug companies Ah, well obviously yes. It's drug... it's Cancer Drug Bonanza Month! Yeah that is exactly what it is. Here it is people can take steps to reduce their chances of developing cancer so maintaining a healthy weight protecting skin from exposure to ultraviolet radiation limiting alcohol consumption What a boring month this is gonna be cigarettes This is the most boring month of the year thank you very much President Obama What do we have next? We have

04:51 National Fiscal Capability Month. Now this is a good one! Our nation is built on the idea that we do best when everybody gets a fair shot! Yes Six years after a devastating recession shook many Americans faith in our financial system. So this is time to renew our efforts to support the informed financial decisions that will open doors into the middle class and help ensure economic security for all. Let's see, what can we do here? Not much I guess... The Know Before You Owe campaign? What a slogan we have here! Know before you owe

05:32 What does that even mean? Know how you're going to be screwed before you take out the loan, I guess. Know before-you-owe campaign so students and families have a straightforward tool... Oh that's the solution to student loans problem! ...to compare financial aid offers. Yeah. Isn't this the month when everybody starts looking at financial aid? I don't know. Then we have, uh, I think we probably missed this was this yesterday when was this Cesar Chavez That's old, I can't be right. Oh that was a...I don't know what that is. Okay March 30th we missed these. March 30th was Education and Sharing Day 2015?

06:21 Education and sharing day. Does that even mean? Well, let's see our young people are the problem solvers thinkers and visionaries of tomorrow who will change the world as we know it they deserve the chance to fulfill their enormous promise no matter who they are or where they live or who they love doesn't say that but I made it up good education hmmm...I don't know I'm not sure what that is its big brothers and big sisters Anyway, today is an important day. At first I thought the president... they came out with it just this morning. I find that to be a little bit late It is World Autism Awareness Day today or as I like to say Put The Smart Kids Down Day

07:00 Put them down? Yeah. Oh, I see what you're saying. I thought you meant shoot them. No no put him down make him feel silly and autism of course is real there's some very severe cases but the spectrum of autism which has been created solely for the pharmaceutical industry in the DSM-5, the Diagnostic Statistical Manual i.e., the drug company's free ticket to giving your kids crap He says here my administration is committed to helping Americans with autism fulfill their potential by ensuring access to the resources and programs they need And of course that's a part of the Affordable Care Act takes care of that Last year I was proud to sign the Autism Cares Act

07:48 As part of the BRAIN Initiative, remember $150 million for brain research. We continue to invest in innovative research... What I don't like is he kind of makes it sound like if you listen here on World Autism Awareness Day our nation recognizes all those around the globe who live on the autism spectrum that's uh you and me John one of my friends here who just started listening actually said you know John's on the spectrum you know that right? Yeah, I come to think of it probably Our nation recognizes all those around the globe who live on the autism spectrum. We celebrate the countless ways they strengthen our communities and enrich our world, and we reaffirm their fundamental rights to participate fully in society, live with respect, and achieve their greatest potential." This really makes it sound like everybody with any form of autism is pretty much a loser! Tell that to Bill Gates! Thank you! The richest man in the world!

08:46 And these are the... a lot of these autistic spectrum people are, you know, incredibly intelligent. In fact in the DSM it says often very very intelligent people are artistic Okay, so I think that's prejudice really Bigotry! Bigotry thank you So that's what going on. That all the president is doing. Now while you're talking about the drug companies, I might as well play a clip. Oh good idea. Just want to remind people that drug companies are bad and here it is... Some of them have some good drugs and some of them can't help. Nah they're all buncha criminals. Okay alright. Well there should be. They should be indicted. There's that. Respiradol! Ugh okay. If you call right now you may be entitled to financial compensation

09:30 Respiradol, a medication used to treat ADHD, autism and bipolar disorder has been linked to gynecomastia in adolescent boys. Gynecomastia? What is that? If your son took respridol and later developed enlarged breasts you may be owed significant compensation from the manufacturer Yeah! There ya go And what do we know about respiradol except it makes your boobs It makes you grow tits if you're a boy Oh man. That's a side effect for you! Well, for someone maybe desired... You grow boobs and you're really calm about it. So I think there is probably everybody around the world heard some of this what has been going on in the United States of Gitmo Nation. Probably just want to get to it right away. I have a backgrounder on this Religious Freedom Act

10:33 Bruja, which I'm very disappointed for a number of reasons. Oh, I was hoping to God you wouldn't start talking about this Just briefly why were you hoping the god? I wouldn't start talking about it. I thought it was a distraction of the week story It's been on every news show all day and all night Exactly take it over the place That's why it needs just a brief deconstruction here is a backgrounder for those of you not living in the deluge of this crap from the three networks of the National Outcry. John, did you hear it on the streets? National outcry! And it's taking the same political sides as climate change. The right-wing talk show guys are, but but but and the left wing guys are oh yo yo yo. Yeah yeah true true here just do a little backgrounder so everybody else who doesn't live here knows about it Also tonight Indiana's governor responds to the national outcry over the so called religious freedom law Today Indiana's governor vowed he will fix a controversial religious freedom law

11:34 Critics say the law is not about freedom. It's about legalizing discrimination against gays by allowing businesses to deny them service Indiana governor Mike Pence bowed to public pressure today saying his state's new religious freedom law needs to be clarified Protests and boycotts led by gay and lesbian groups who feared the law would allow Discrimination have gained steam all week on this Tuesday night fixing it ballot going to pressure Indiana's governor promising to rework the law. that was billed as ensuring religious freedom but viewed by many as a license to discriminate. As the backlash threatens to hit the state's bottom line, good evening facing a growing opposition from inside and outside this state and a threat to its economy Indiana's governor in an apparent response to blaring headlines like this in The Indianapolis Star has called for a change to the controversial law that some believe is worded in such a way it over

12:28 opens the door to legalize discrimination. Tonight, Indiana's governor now saying he is asking for a fix after days of protests and anger over that controversial new Indiana law He says it protects religious freedom Critics say it simply covers businesses to turn away gays and lesbians So there you have a brief backgrounder And we're not going to have one of the typical conversations and discussions The national conversation about outrage, the outcry The only thing I want to say about this is as a bi-curious male, I am once again so disappointed in the community leaders of the LGBTQIAAP community. They have once again allowed themselves to be abused for a complete political agenda which is this

13:24 Don't vote Republicans. They hate gays." That's it, that is all this is about and... Well, you have to... I agree with you 100%. That's exactly what this is about. And Mike Pence is a potential presidential candidate who was a very presentable guy and good-looking the white haired CIA type of guy. I didn't know he was a presidential possible. His name crops up quite a bit. Oh okay that's good. So let's get rid of him right now. Right? Yes. He's on the wrong side of history. Why take a chance?! But here's what galled me, John. Here's what galled me because obviously I'm on the Facebook because you're not somebody has to monitor this crap and when Tim Cook...Tim Cook who by the way has come out as being gay I think three times now over the past 20 years just want to point that out he is never adverse to coming out again and surprising us all once again

14:22 When he came out and made this big statement, oh Apple we're open for everybody Facebook went everyone's like Oh so proud to be an Apple fanboy today. Yes You know what? You should stomp on your iPhone you pathetic twits that you seriously and Tim Cook What a dick! This is just abusing gayness And now we have all these CEOs jumping on board. This is, I find it abhorrent really abhorrent. It is! It's real and I can't believe that people don't see... There's one thing the Putin thing with you know Putin hates gays that kind of got some legs and people uh you know that's when we first really saw the power of this

15:11 But to use this purely for political motives, to put down a potential presidential candidate... I'd like the ... you know if he wanted to do something interesting. I think finding the roots of this bill would be one of them because his bill is innocuous and totally stupid. Totally! I mean it's like okay here's the .. oh now it's gonna be okay for a cake maker not to bake a cake for a gay wedding Hey, cake maker doesn't have to bake a cake for anybody. I know it's so ridiculous and no-I think most people have not even read the law! The headlines everywhere! Anti Gay! It doesn't say that

15:50 It could be used to discriminate. Don't you really think... This, by the way reminds me a little bit of the net neutrality battle where you imagine all these possibilities and then you take the imagination for these possibilities and then twist it into that's what it is about! And it's so well executed This was well done. Which again reminds me, how did this bill come to be? Because it looked like it was a setup. It looked like as the set up to just get Pence out of here I didn't even feel like looking that deep because who gives a shit? Doesn't matter... Now that you brought it up!

16:29 We're gonna have to look at it and do one more step on this. Because I've been watching, there's another one that i'm looking for another step on is this Menendez thing which is another... Well before you go there I just want to read what GLAAD said The Gay & Lesbian Anti-something Coalition Defense Project Deniers The comments here, we have critical information about frequent anti-gay interviews and... Ehhh. Shoot this is not what I wanted. Crap sorry forget about it doesn't matter. That was very good! That was bad now i gotta open the link Well they said something. Yeah this... This Menendez thing has gotten me confused Oh I see what they did okay so they had What they did is and I thought this was really maybe GLAAD's behind it now that I think about it

17:17 This is the GLAAD Commentator Accountability Project, CAP. It puts out critical information about frequent anti-gay interviewees and they put that into the hands of newsrooms editors hosts and reporters journalists or producers who are on deadline often don't have time to dig into the history of a commentator So they're calling people out who are anti-gay and being invited on shows. Audiences need to be aware that when they're not talking to the mainstream media, these voices are comparing LGBT people to Nazi Germany predicting that equal treatment of LGBT people will lead to total collapse in society and even making accusations of satanic influence. Really?

17:59 This is what GLAAD is doing. Where's this? I'd like to hear some of these shows, they sound very entertaining! So here's their list... Tony Perkins president of the Family Research Council which according to the Southern Poverty Law Center is an anti-gay hate group. Anti gay hate group. It should be a gay hate group anyway. Yeah really, that doesn't make any logical sense. I just got this whole list of people and they're calling them, but it's that picture there was being of the governor signing the bill into law. And then they had a little, this guy hates gays. This guy is an undercover gay. This guy is you know thinks gays are the devil Satan.

18:51 And even David Letterman, everyone's just like what's wrong with Indiana? We should tell... I heard that actually. I was watching it and flipping around and Letterman went off the deep end. Letterman has gone off the deep end big time but he went on to deepen oh this is not the Indiana I know! I'm from Indiana and this isn't right. God fearing people who love everybody This is not the way Indiana is. He went on and on going find something funny to do. No, I know And boy, does the media love that. But it's so progressive to be on board with this. Most of the people who are vocal about this are not gay! That's right we need everyone to be free equal for everybody and I think what they're also trying to do again is bring discrimination based on sexual orientation into law which we know will never happen This has been going on for decades almost

19:49 You can't it will not work. You cannot do that when it leads to discrimination Would you know there were sure I got fired? I get fired well, you know I'm gay so be fine No, no, I'm saying that the next step in that in that on that road is then discrimination against appearance Yeah, this has been done in California quite a bit. Appearance? Okay... So somebody with a bunch of facial piercings and then blood dripping from their ear holes... The big shotgun earrings, the big hole in their lobe... Those big giant holes and all that stuff you have to hire them or else you're discriminating against appearance and appearance is going to be the next road if they

20:34 Do any if they move at all on any of this stuff because appearances as they discuss quite a bit hmm Yeah, I'm I got you know yeah your goth Right should be hired to be at the Abercrombie and Fitch 1990 called John They want their Goth back But I understand what you're saying gods are still around And they so some of them call themselves God's and they have a certain look not not so sure Well that's where it stems from is stemming from the gods Yeah, well not in Austin. Well, Austin certainly has a lot of interesting looking people when it comes to piercings and body paint and modification... Body modification? Yeah that's what it is called

21:20 Yeah, it was just really disappointing to me once again that not a single gay community leader stepped up and said boys and girls and people in between Let us know what's ever gonna say. Well, let me say it you're in a dream world my friend a dream world I am a well-known by curious male and I'm saying I do not like are my lesbian Gay bi curious bisexual transgender queer questioning intersex asocial whatever Pansexual being abused this way and people should stop it It's really really ridiculous particularly people who aren't gay

22:05 It's stupid to fall for this dumb stuff. Well, it was going on and is continuing. Yeah true it will be on today's news and tomorrow's news as though this is news And it's on PBS NewsHour they devoted a segment to it in a couple two or three times Well, and you're right. Distraction... Actually it does deserve the jingle. The distraction of the week on No Wood's Agenda. Because there was a lot of stuff going on while we were not paying attention. I didn't see much except I guess they still talk about Menendez. All right go ahead with Menendez because now- I didn't follow this. We'll play the Menendez story as fishy clip and

22:59 It's not going to be a long piece on them. I don't have a lot of material, but I do have a couple things. The Justice Department announced today that for the first time since the 1980 Ab Scam scandal it is indicting a sitting US Senator on federal bribery charges For more on the action against New Jersey Democrat Robert Menendez we turn to Matt Apuzzo at The New York Times who has been covering this story Matt eight counts of bribery 22 counts in all Tell us a little bit about what you know from reading the indictment about what they're charging. Well, it's a really big indictment Gwen I'm actually about two-thirds of the way through it and we all knew this was coming but its a lot broader and deeper than I think a lot of us who have been following this closely expected

23:45 It basically describes Senator Menendez turning his Capitol Hill office into a criminal enterprise. Basically using his offices and using staff to go out and solicit gifts, find out what his political patron wanted in return, then make sure it got done. Describes trading favors, political favors for trips on a private jet, first-class airfare, vacations. Five star hotel in Paris it's very very broad the indictment runs over 60 pages It really is an aggressive move by the Justice Department Tell us about his political patron Solomon Melgan he is a Florida eye surgeon and they have been friends since the 1990s By all accounts real friends

24:35 They vacation together, they exchange gifts and that's going to be real key to the defense. Menendez is arguing that this is a friendship and friends exchange gifts. And the Justice Department says this went well beyond friendship, this was a corrupt bribery scheme. Okay explain who he is and what is going on? I tuned out to this because... You did yeah of course I know it was... Menendez is a Cuban senator from New Jersey and he has a pal who's a Dominican in Florida who is an eye surgeon. And they've been buddies since for, I don't know 20 years? And so the buddy had...he has this guy as rich

25:25 guy in Florida who is always being thought of as a scammer for Medicare and they've always been after him. They've never been able to get him. I didn't know this part, a scammer from the...this guy? This doctor or whoever he is, he's been scamming Medicare? Okay. Yeah supposedly which is not hard but they've never been able to prove it and they haven't been able to get him so this is around about way doing it as far as like this is fishy. This whole thing makes no sense. It's only about men...it's not about a bunch of people waltzing in and waltsing out like did with That guy was vice president for Spiro Agnew. It wasn't like that. Was it Abram? I can't remember that. Okay, Jack Abramoff? He's not a senator never was oh i'm sorry uh anyway let's go this is fishy because it's involving one guy who's a friend who he vacations with all the time and the friend picks up the tab sometimes and he's a democrat this menendez yes he's a democrat which makes it funnier yeah but this stinks of ted stevens

26:24 Justice Department action against Ted Stevens, which was also trumped up. And the Justice Department seems to want to do this every so often they can't even do anything about gun running but they can deal with this character in New Jersey who from all I can tell is a run-of-the-mill Democrat senator who just pretty much does his job like everybody else on the Democrat side and This is very suspicious and seems very sketchy. And this is, I'm going to follow it. I don't know why they...I mean they could have gone after a lot of different people but this has got something...they're trying to get this doctor under some circumstance and he's been slithering away from them so they've decided to pull this stunt

27:08 And I just think it's abhorrent. Yeah, he apparently likes hookers and he's a US senator who likes hookers? Okay well that's interesting! That's a stunner! Gambling?! I gotta get to that faster... yeah gambling. You're slowing the draw of the gambling one And so he likes hookers and this guy's from the Dominican Republic. He has connections back in the old, old Dominica and he sets him up with hookers once in a while. And then they set him up with a hotel room in Paris with a hooker. This is one of the big scandals. Excellent. And then he picked up the tab!

27:50 Supposedly Menendez goes to bat for him once in a while when he gets in trouble with the IRS or whatever, which is I don't think it's that suspicious if its your pal. And this is just bad! This looks like they're setting this poor bastard up and he's going to take the fall. Okay but what you do not have any... clue as to why it's happening to him. Well, no I my clue is that they're just this is just a way of getting at the guy They're after by going after his pal This is an old trick And who was somebody? Who were they? The Justice Department? They wanted them to do that to one of their own? Well one of their own...the US Senate has never seen and I could look into it and I'll bet you that Menendez did not Do the Justice Department any favors over the last few years perhaps

28:40 Okay, I will find out the basis of it. But I'm just mentioning that this looks fishy to me because it only involves one guy. It's not like a student. It's not like he's got the door open. He turned his office into a center for bribery! The way they presented it... That's bullcrap! Right right well you know there are multiple things happening. Of course Harry Reid quit we didn't even talk about that Didn't we? No, I don't think so. Also a Democrat but of course you know now everyone's talking about what we said immediately is he got beat up look at him that's not a rubber band injury by some gang yeah because he didn't do something i mean you don't get beat up for no good reason and then he just decides i'm done i won't do it anymore

29:30 I mean, I'm still kind of following on this side. There's a very good newsletter that comes out once in awhile you get to look at that is about the gaming industry and there is this long...there's this feud between Steve Wynn who is one between Steven and his wife which is... That's a different issue? That's a different issue but there's this few between...the guy who did Girls Gone Wild Oh, my hero you mean? Your buddy. He apparently went to one of Wynn's casinos and took out a tab and I guess he lost a million or something and wouldn't pay! He made his eyes get these games are rigged. It is finally rigged. I'm not paying okay

30:24 And so now this is like gonna be fun to watch. That guy, he made a lot of money with the Girls Gone Wild franchise Yeah you know his gimmick I was in Philadelphia at a bar and i was chatting with somebody and they were buddies of this guy He's like one of his best friends and he told me that the guys deal with getting the permissions for the girls is the following. When he goes, the T-shirt... The girls who strip or show off their tops for this character I can't remember his name you can look him up He gives them a t-shirt as payment and the t-shirt constitutes a release

31:11 Really? Yeah, that's his game. He says okay girls these t-shirts this constitutes a release you're giving me the rights to these videos once you accept the T shirt and they all scream in yeah and they all grab the tea she throws t-shirts at him and each one grabs a t-shirt then they when they have the t-shirts then they They've agreed to do the movie or you know this trip or whoever they can do whatever they want he just films it And that's how he gets away with not having to pay anybody a nickel. I'm just writing this down, hold on a second. Let me make sure i get all this... Joe Francis! Good gimmick. Yeah, Joe Francis.

31:48 There was...before we move into, and there's a number of clips, real topics that have just been bludgeoned to death with the German wings crash and all that other stuff we've been dealing. Of course- That's another news story that keeps repeating itself. And by the way, we're coming on April 15th, and I mentioned this to you because- Yes it's time for cycle. There was a meeting on April 15 in University of California one of the lecture halls is going to have George Soros Come to Berkeley and speak, and I would go to see that hell yeah if I mean why not right? Uh-huh now. I'm sure he hangs around you could talk to him afterwards unless they rush him out Which they might do but whatever the case he canceled so I'm thinking wait a minute This is this is the six week moment right So we have to keep an eye on that date well Soros

32:44 announced he's ready to invest 1 billion dollars in Ukraine if Western countries help private investment there. Which is just funny because one of his very own OSI NGOs was partially responsible for the Maidan coup, so now he's coming back to get his pay I guess I guess. Yeah, well he's...well if he is partially responsible for setting it up there must be something of value in the Ukraine that Soros knows about. You know Soros is really a genius. If you read any of his books, he's really an arbitrage guy. That's how he made his big money through the... Yeah, you can see weakness on one side and strength on another and you balance the two. People can do this in the stock market with

33:35 I don't know how they do it, but they can do it. There are regional stock markets and occasionally there'll be a discrepancy in the buying and selling prices of exact same stock on two different markets so they'll be New York, usually like American Stock Exchange or New York Stock or even NASDAQ stock that is selling for eight bucks a share on one exchange and selling for six on another. And you get in the middle and move the...you buy at six and sell at eight, like instantly. And you just make infinite money." It doesn't happen that often where it's... I don't think that's his game in this case. No its not but its a style of finding weaknesses and strengths and then... Well things are coming down to the wire with Ukraine

34:30 they need more money from IMF and of course, they need to implement these sanctions. And I was just looking at some of these sanctions which it's just another way of allowing Western banks and oil companies to come in etc., I wonder if they're going to go after the mines in the East eventually as well but there is now a In Ukraine a 300% gas price hike. Yeah New tax on domestic oil and gas production It's it's really you know, it's really sad because this is all coming down to the Ukrainian people yeah They're getting screwed big time big time

35:16 And there's a, I put up pretty long article by a guy that I like reading a lot of William Engdahl and he and the title of his Kiev commits energy Harakiri. It's too long to discuss here but if you read it can really see a lot more just than the pure factual numbers Well, Soros is like a vulture. So if he's in there somethings up You know you were talking about the energy thing and I'm watching a movie It's kind of an underrated James Bond movie with Pierce Brosnan from 1999. Which one is this? The World Is Not Enough and I have a clip that I watched, it was 1999...I'm watching this clip saying geez we were being kinda told about in fictional ways what we talk about on the show. M sent me because you're afraid your life might be in danger

36:17 Please I want to show you something. I'm trying to build an 800 mile pipeline through Turkey Past the terrorists in Iraq Iran and Syria Up here The Russians have three competing pipelines, and they'll do anything to stop me my father was murdered the villagers are rioting And new mr.. Bond has come all this way to tell me that I might be dangerous Yeah. Someone sent me a clip, now that you play this I wish I'd clipped it of Little House on the Prairie. This is a very old clip and Paul was in Michael Landon something was printed in the newspaper at the local newspaper by camera. I don't know what the backstory was and he goes to see the one guy who puts out the newspaper there in town

37:12 And it's clearly saying, oh well you know this is what we do. We're not going to write anything that would offend the big money guys here in the area and Michael Landon goes but it's not true! It was clearly one of the first deconstructions on...in the early days of how press truly works of just making stuff up or certainly not reporting the truth and then that was in Little House on the Prairie I should have clipped it. Yeah, well... Should've. Okay onward! All right a couple of things um first and actually you know you talked about Menendez there was this uh the CSIS which i think is somehow related to the

37:57 Brzezinski Institute. Brzezinski and Menendez were both speaking, and Brzezinski's too long-winded and really can't clip anything but he was really saying you know that Russia is between a rock in the hard place they really only have two choices either you go to hook up with China which of course they wouldn't want to do or you eventually connect to the West and the Western banking system, reconnect the Western banking system. And what he predicted and that's really what I got out of it is the end result will be Ukraine will become a full-fledged member of the EU, but will never be a member of NATO. And that is apparently how the deal is going to go down once it's time to go down and of course if you look at the eastern border of Ukraine I mean you can probably spit and reach Moscow. It won't be NATO! Whatever you say...

38:55 I would be stunned that, and I'm gonna say these words that at the end of the day, Ukraine becomes part of the EU. I would just be stunned by that because this is not a country you want as part... It's not European! It's an Eastern European country that has run differently, it has got different men...I just don't see it fitting in. I'm just telling you what Soros said. Was it Soros or Brzezinski? Brzezinski, yeah. By the way both those guys are so long-winded. They're both dog-legged in the same way! You cannot get a clip from those guys. You never see them in the same picture at the same time and also Kissinger should be part of all that. Greece tells its creditors it will run out of cash by the 9th April this is ongoing this is in the European press people are talking about this they're not just talking about gay wedding cakes

39:50 there is actual news going on. And everybody's, the EU and IMF and everyone's saying yeah you know what why don't you go screw yourself Greece we're not gonna give that to you never get if you have to implement the reforms which means more tax! Screw the Greek people who gives a crap about them so we'll have to keep our eye on the April 9th date Russia meanwhile has said hey well we'll hook you up how much money do you need? And you gotta wonder, I mean they already own significant pieces of the infrastructure there. Putin's been all over the Mediterranean. The guy yes he hasn't done well for his country really during all this but at least he has some form of a strategy. At least it looks like he is trying to figure something out and to get Greece and of course he has pieces of Cyprus and hmmm it will be interesting to see what moves he's going to make

40:51 I think the Greece thing is just a moment, just to poke the eye of the EU. Just poke them. You guys can't do it? Well, I can do it! Why come you guys can't do it?! No problem for me... The books and books... Somebody's pointing this out and I still think Russia probably at least some... And I wouldn't know how to invest in Russia but it seems to me as though there's potential there because the ruble's depressed and everything is ridiculous The balance sheet is not that bad. I've seen a number of presentations that show that they don't have...they don't have a huge debt like we have and this, you know, except for the fact that nobody will trade with them or they even have these sanctions and the rules been artificially depressed, and the word artificial is important there. They probably could afford to bail Greece out. According to Brzezinski he said that the economy is just horrible, the people in Russia are hurting.

41:48 And my friend, Sergei Neftuliev has offered to take me to Moscow and St. Petersburg and do a little Russia trip I think that's a good idea for the show I want to go to St. Petersburg Tell Neftuliev to take ME! I'd rather not go to the Hermitage Museum, I wanna see it! Hold on a second... Tell me and I wish I lost track of them. This is typical, I don't take notes on my personal life Somebody said to me oh you want it? I could probably it's probably an email You wanna get the I'll get you into the basement of The Hermitage Museum And you can go look around that's what I want to do okay well you can do that

42:29 I mean, this is one of the greatest stolen art collections or what do...I'm sorry. One of the greatest art collections. Curated collection. Curated art collections in the world! And the problem with it they had this thing in Las Vegas once there was a...it was the first time anything and it was done that's it was Shelly that did at The Venetian they had an Hermitage Guggenheim exhibition Is not pronounced hermitage? Yeah, something like that. Hermitage just sounds wrong. Hermitage is right. Okay the hermitage whatever it's a great museum but they don't really have any budget so their stuff is just rotting I have a bunch of stories about this but they went to this exhibit and with the PR guy of the Venetian Hotel I got in and he took me around you could see the Hermitage stuff was all

43:28 They had a Gauguin, and Gauguin used to paint on burlap a lot. Especially his Polynesian stuff. He was just painting it on burlap I swear to God there was one of these pictures sitting there that was just burlap There may have been a scratch. Nothing else on just burlap? Just because all the paint had fallen off, but they still had it. So there was this piece of burlap sitting there with maybe see some faded paint that is soaked into the burlap and it was just a mess and then all of a sudden I go around the corner and there is one of Monet's pieces

44:03 And by the way, there's Kandinsky. There was all these different artists that were in this exhibit all from the Hermitage and they would have for example a Kandinsky from the Hermitage and then one from the Guggenheim. And the Hermitage one looks like somebody had carried it around their back pocket for a few years you know? And then finally put it on behind...finally stretched. It was a mess! But then there was this pristine Monet that was sitting there and it was, I looked at it and I've seen probably, I don't know but at least 80 or 90% of all the Monets in the world. It's a little hobby of mine. And this thing was bull crap. There is no way this is a real painting. And I got as close as I could to see if I could smell the paint. Yum!

44:51 It was and it was gorgeous. So I said to the guy said this thing can't be real I said, this has got to be a counter. Can't smell the paint and he guys says to me Oh that's interesting you'd say that because when they exhibit open they are news guy apparently the reporter from art news is Asked the Russian representative who brought these paintings over about that exact same thing this painting can't be Possibly be real and we know that the Russians do have copyists And they and why would you send around a 65 million dollar painting because apparently the Russians have been ripped off twice already? And so they got the rushing I guess is completely bent out of shape way beyond They said what was normal. They'd be bent out of shape about it, so he suspects if I was a fake

45:35 Anyway, so the Hermitage has got all these great paintings. I want to go see them." Alright alright maybe we can do it We can't both go to Russia at the same time. Boy is that a long story or what? Yes It was kind of let's go on to let me just do a couple quick German wings thing things since It's like on everybody's mind and also incessantly pounded in there by stupid CNN mainly but everyone's oh Oh boy, oh what's going on? We have to know how crazy pilots are and how crazy everybody is. And just suicide... everyone terrorizing! There was a great compilation video which unfortunately only a little bit of it is in English mainly from CNN two clips from CNN and France 24 and then there's a lot of French

46:24 stuff in there, which has subtitles. So I'll tell you some of what is in that kind of like French discussion television programs where there's a panel and experts and a well-watched program but first it's always fun to go back and listen to the very first reports when something of this disastrous nature happens And you never hear these reports again, of course because it's either...it was either wildly incorrect or it was very accurate and needs to be covered up. And so I got two from this video which accentuates

47:01 The misinformation that was clearly presented as fact first from CNN right after the incident. All we know on that right now from French authorities is that they did get a distress call and that the last words they're saying they heard were emergency, emergency and obviously very frightening words to hear in connection with what was going on on that airplane Isn't that great? He was pretty sure about that. Wow, he sure missed... That should disappear quick! But this is from France 24. Bring in Armin Jorgen who joins me now in the studio. Armin what more do we know at this point? Well we know that the pilot sent a distress signal so that does suggest some kind of major breakdown or failure during the flight at that point

47:49 Now on this video, on this roundtable panel discussion there's an Air France pilot 18 year veteran Gerard Arnault and he speaks specifically to A, the impossibility in the a320 of hearing the pilot's breath on the cockpit voice recorder. And we have some interesting backup from airmen who've been emailing me saying that particularly the earlier a320s are so noisy that often Crews would actually put on their entire, if it wasn't their oxygen mask but they would really have to have headphones closed headphones on all the time. So the idea of hearing this breathing is pretty much an impossibility

48:33 And this was an older 320. It was an older 320, yes. Second point the investigators claim of hearing a beep when Lubbock set the new altitude on the autopilot... This is exactly how it's described now that function does not produce a beep in the cockpit and here's the one that I didn't know asking why the investigators didn't mention the sound made by the cockpit door system, which apparently if someone is trying to get in and has the wrong code it has a 30 second alarm. that, according to Gérard Arnoux cannot be turned off even if you lock or relock. So there's a lot of information missing from the so-called cockpit voice recorder and it just got crazier whereas the official story initially was the flight data recorder was retrieved but the memory chip popped out and we can't find it

49:32 which is a lie because it is not just a memory card like the one that's in your, you know, in your Android tablet at new. But then it got nuttier where what they did find someone near the crash and gave it to the same Paris Match guys who've been doing the transcriptions of the audio which of course no one has actually heard questionable if it exists with all these discrepancies we found a memory chip with video on it of the crash And it's real. Yeah, oh yeah! Well here is the Today Show very interesting they interview the guy I think the interview is interesting and of course what The Today Show would Matt says at the very end Regis LeSommier is deputy editor of Paris Match sir good morning to you thank you for being with us My first question is a simple one are you convinced that this video is real? If you are why are you convinced

50:26 Well, I'm convinced this is real. positive about our source, which is close to the investigation team. So there's no doubt that what we saw are the final seconds of what happened on board of Airbus 320 of German wings from what you know What I saw off the video is the footage is very blurry but this sound is very let us know doubt that passenger actually knew what was going on inside and knew what was gonna happen. And without revealing your source, of course What is that sources motivation for presumably getting this piece of evidence and instead of apparently giving it to the authorities showing it to a reporter? Gee John! What do you think could be the reason for that because uh... It's bogus maybe?!

51:20 Well, I think that they showed it in order to prove the existence of such material. It's a piece—it's interesting for a number of people including the families, of course, of the victims. number of people that flies today. Now the slim chance, the chance that this video actually appears that it was taken out of the rubble is very slim but I can confirm you from all what we've gathered and all what we've seen is true." Very very quickly have any of the family members reached out to your publication wanting to see this video?

51:59 Not yet. As not, you know my knowledge at the moment I don't think so Mr. Regis LeSommier from Paris Match thank you for your time We don't have the video Right right I understand Thank You Sir thank you for your time So he said we don't have the video of only seen the video and Who's got the video? Well, we don't know who has the video. He just saw it. They see it! Because someone...the person who was close to the investigation showed it to them probably the same person who somehow leaked that the actual transcript but well there's 20 more seconds just listen how they wrap this up

52:35 A lot of us are shaking our heads this morning, even if that video exists. It's just an incredibly poor taste for someone to show it to a reporter and it can be incredibly painful for the family. Even in some way there is some investigative value to that then still it should be seen by about four people total. You never see the light of day. This is so interesting to me! What? Yeah And why is it in poor taste to show it to a reporter?! I don't know. It was, I was flabbergasted by this response. I'm flabbergasted by it too! Why is it important? Okay we've got a video let's take a look at the video

53:13 Who knows about the video? I mean, it seems to me that if somebody had the video they'd shop it to a reporter as opposed to not giving it to authorities. But let's just...I don't know what you want to assume about the video but whatever the case is how do you come up with the idea that its poor taste to show it to a reporter? You got me! If your news organization There's so much death and destruction that is always shown on news. They show dead kids in Dallas, like constantly! I don't understand why this is not permitted?

53:49 But just, but what I... again it's just like the Boston bombing. We don't have actual evidence for you so we know there is something real here and by the way the word It does not mean that is factual correct or true Just because something is real doesn't mean that sure some video exists but using the word real I think as a trick You know what I mean? That's an interesting... No, I don't. But I'm mulling it over Yeah if you say something is real and what is the actual definition of real? Well let's look it up! I think that's probably a good idea we'll do that in the book of knowledge The definition of real Let's see Actually existing as a thing Not imagined or supposed not imitation or artificial okay genuine okay so I guess you could use it but I think genuine authentic bona fide would be better

54:47 than real because the initial meaning of real is it exists. It's also an adverb synonym and here's something that popped up... My head really hurts! Something that popped There's this guy, Jan Kosseret. He is kind of well known in the Dutch aviation industry and he writes for the Dutch... I think he runs the whole magazine Pilot & Airplane or yeah, Pilot & Airplane is the name of this magazine and that man, I think he interviewed me once maybe? And I always thought about this guy. Wow! You know you could be like intelligence, you know, you could be part of intelligence

55:31 And I read in the Daily Mail this, earlier today it emerged that Dutch pilot Jan Coscheredt predicted the German wings crash several weeks ago in an article written. It says he had a specialist flight magazine that's the Dutch Pilot and Plane Magazine. Mr. Koshrut, who flies a Boeing 777 for Emirates Airlines Warner," now please note he's flies Boeing not Airbus quote I hope I never find myself in the situation where i go to the toilet and return to find a cockpit door that won't open. I seriously always wonder who is sitting next to me when I get into the uh onto the flight deck for a flight

56:15 And I don't know, it's just one of those coincidences that just seem like a little bit too good to be true. Too coincidental and he... Like it's like a setup. Yeah! Let's start thinking this way people You don't know who you're sitting next to when you're at the theater. Yeah! Ahhhh! You should be a maniac. That's what we believe happened with this flight Not that the plane took itself into the mountain because it does that Well, we'll probably never know no We probably never will note because they can't find the one black box for some unknown reason although they can find videos laying around from somebody's cell phone. Yeah They can't find like boss which is protecting memory chip and cell phones not I know And but I've already given up. I've already decided that your initial thesis on this whole thing is

57:06 is correct. And this thing is part of the problems that they have with this plane, which has been always kind of the same decides to do something. Yes it's made of plastic and a computer operates it in the computer. Computer flights are very annoying program like anything else there's a lot of code involved. A lot And it's not in you know, and then if they change one thing and that you know It causes another there's a problem with code. Yeah change This is certain much how does your iPhone work when when there's an upgrade from Apple? Yeah, it falls battery runs runs down freezes crashes I'm watching this sitcom on that I'm watching and I will plug

57:46 And they had this scene in the sitcom where the person's holding an iPhone and says, Oh hey Bill, the new iPhone 6 just came out. Oh that means I have to get one! And then the iPhone in his hand literally falls to pieces. The planned obsolescence from Apple? Exactly. This show is Tina Fey's new sitcom on Netflix and I just hate plugging them but it's called Unbreakable and it's just hilarious if you like Tina Fey screwball humor. Yeah, I like her. It's like one of those things you can watch all 13 episodes if you want. Hmm okay yeah i'll do that right after I finish watching all my C-SPAN playlists. Yeah take your time uh why don't we thank a few people? We have a lot of other things to talk about new executive order um from the president for cyber oh yeah I have a clip for that okay let's... You wanna do it no no let me thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C with a c stands for Cyber Dvorak

58:45 You just don't run out of those, do you? Nope. Well in the morning to you Adam Curry all the men in the morning ships and sea boots on the ground subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there also Mr & Mrs America Yes! In the morning too everybody in the chat room know agenda stream dot com good have y'all they're helping us out and in the morning John Fletcher John Fletcher multi-talented mr. Fletcher is as not only does he provide the multitude of screams for this program, of course it all started with... BOOTING! And has just gone on from there to become an entire thing by itself. We have The Fletcher Fest coming up we'll talk about in a moment He provided the art for episode 708 which was- It's unbelievable! It really is Yeah it was uh A nice piece it was the turning the lights off I think that what it was we had for uh For 708

59:40 And of course we always appreciate all the work that every single one of our artists does. NoahGenArtGenerator.com Did you want to say something to the artist? Because I think you had a remark about it after the show on Sunday. I did! And... I forgot, okay It was like a long time ago and it was after the show and it was just casual conversation and I don't know, I had something to say to the artist Good work then, artists. Keep it up! Keep it going! We had... I forget what we should do if you looked at the art I could probably come up with but let's thank some people first and then we can do that later. We have three executive producers who all came in with a Fletcher donation which is nice and two associate executive producers Dave

1:00:27 Fugazato, I guess. Fu-ga-zo-to. He's in Deutschland right now he is an American soldier or somebody. Not sure it never says. We don't know. But he has got a PO. So 31415 which is this donation. ITM gentlemen another donation to the Fletcher Fest and some value for value in support of BPITU Best podcast in the universe, that's our new code. A quick update on the foreign service exam I took in February missed the cutoff by 0.28 points. Yeah so it's back to the books for a we'll get it for redo next year. The karma was not defective

1:01:12 I placed the blame squarely on my non-donating boner status at the time. Let that be a lesson to me and all others out there who have yet to donate." In fact, perhaps John Fletcher can make a douchebag callout that we can use for ringtone to remind them of their shame Now, this is funny because somebody else mentioned that Fletcher asked actually did Fletcher ever do a douchebag? I don't think so. And I said well no, that I don't know of one but now he's going to do one I suppose here and

1:01:50 It'll be interesting. I was just thinking, well maybe he shouldn't because we have a jingle for douchebag do we need another douche bag? Well i'll bet you before the end of the show we get one otherwise I'd gratefully request some health karma from my old man and it was worth it and of course the vocal stylings of the esteemed Mr Fletcher calling Oh, this is what he really wants. He doesn't want to respect even though we're gonna get it I'm sure of it foo gazato Which will be in the making of course? We'll argue who goes oh toe well have that on on Sunday if who does Otto food is Otoe never really tells us Anyway, thanks for your courage David Deutschland You've got karma Thomas butterick and flushing Michigan

1:02:40 31415. Heil, gents! Heil everybody! Please have Fletcher use my title in his shoutout saying saying lady fingers Lady Nothing to report be well Thomas Butterick sir lady fingers of the displaced, Texas night of no agenda roundtable Dayton Ohio nice Thank you so much. Okay now we have Eric Hoff at 314 50 from Edmonton where all the money is in Alberta Canada and I Didn't notice this was blank and I'm going to look him up because i'm sure he sent something in while you do that let me allow me To play the Fletcher shouts which will all be a part of the fletcher fest coming up from the previous episode We have four as requested Here is the now. He did this, I don't know if we should allow this to happen It should just be a one-the way it works best

1:03:36 It's really, it's either like the Putin like this or it's like the Koch brothers. He managed to do two words and this is all I want to mention back story on this by the way. This all stemmed from about 2 years ago, I believe when I suggested that we get something...I don't know if it was the Putin one or not based on Hogan's heroes Because every so often even though it was pretty rare in fact, but it was mostly mocked and mimicked Colonel Klink yelled hold on And so then Fletcher showed up and now he's become a staple So there was a request for this I like it. But I don't think that's in the true spirit of the Fletcher fest

1:04:26 You know what I mean? Because what we're going to get now is people are going to have a whole slew of things they want him to scream. And he's gonna blow his voice out! Also, it doesn't play as well... So for instance here's the Got Nate. GOT NATE!!! And then this one... And here's the one that I was waiting for which is great for everybody you recall the executive producer who wanted to play something when the internet goes out in their office building and This is usable for all I can see that being used and yeah, it's a good one. That's a really good Yeah, what? It just doesn't work Keep your phone now. I got the note here from Eric Eric from Edmonton he requested that

1:05:13 He made another Pi donation. He loves a Fletcher call out for Eric check your phone or when my wife texts me, it's a text thing which would be very annoying because texts come in too much." I'm just thinking let's try and keep it to your name people you know like the license plates yeah Yeah think of it as... Anyway well you've got Eric check your phone so there you go This paragraph is part of uh you may want to re-end the show A few weeks ago you guys read out my note calling Danielle Steele out as a douchebag for putting native ads into her books, and John wanted to know more details about that. My wife can't remember the title of the book but the ad was in but she clearly remembered in middle of this story the main character came home from a rough day and was so happy to have an Oral-B electric toothbrush as part of her daily care routine." Except I call that product placement and not native ad per se

1:06:08 No, it's true. Native ads are more elaborate but I would say it is product placement that's the guy. Product placement. Still fun. It was packed into all of two paragraphs but I'm certain that selling your story and audience out selling them out for a vibrating toothbrushes worthy of a douche bag callout thank you for not doing that because I guess I don't know why he didn't want that but just wanted to mention it okay anyways who was working on his knighthood so he's getting Eric check your phone all right Finally we got two associate executive producers ash $206 and 60 cents from get Mo East UK mmm the last few shows have been Dynamite oh, thank you. I laughed so hard at the seed guy clips. I nearly crashed Please could I get a hey citizen to do they had little girl yay karma okey-dokey

1:07:09 Let me just see... Hey Citizen 2 to the head. Where's the Hey Citi- We haven't done that in a long time! Where is the Hey Citizen? Hey Citizen, two to the head little girl yay Yeah I just can't find the Hey Citizen Uhhh.... Hey Citizen Oh here it is, alright let me try this one That's not the right one and there only one channel! That's not the right- where's the Hey Citizen?! Oh here we go. Hey Citizen! You've got karma I'll give him an extra bonus. I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water just send your cash How good is that guy it's outstanding or Matt

1:08:04 Producer Matt and finally last on our list is Joshua shiny from Lewisburg, Kansas $200 and he has a negative note negative Nelly Joshua comes in with and I'll try to do it in his voice. He might have A little less jingles and more media assassination would improve the show Okay Well, I can tell you that does a little less jingles really I mean during these segments you play a lot of jingles But why why yeah? You want a dry boring piece-of-crap show PBS kind of thing with the dead sound of a studio and two guys very serious going on and on and on about something very without laughing or meanwhile in Damascus That what you want for the show

1:08:59 I got- there was a couple of notes, there was a tweet someone said you got SSRI's all wrong these are not in that class so surprised I'm not a... Yeah, we get things wrong and I appreciate it when people correct us. We try to correct ourselves on the show because we have the chat room now. I appreciate the corrections but I don't appreciate... Oh! I am so surprised you got that wrong. Oh, I'm sorry. I studied as DJ. I talk up intros of records. I'm not a pharmacologist. I'm stunned that you didn't know. Stunned that you didn't know that blah was blah and not blah. It's a two, not a three! I can't believe you didn't mention this crash over here! Oh yeah we got the crash one, yeah. We got that note...I don't know who is going to call the guy out but he was what he said. I'm stunned that you never mentioned the crash that happened while we were doing this show!

1:10:01 It was on the show day. I know trash it happened. I was an Irish It wasn't even a crash at playing didn't take off it wasn't aboard to take off or something like that? I think the beauty of this program is that we aren't experts in everything That's what we are not the experts We have the experts built up carefully and our no agenda intelligence network over years intelligence network, that is second-to-none I agree. We have an artist network that's second to none, album art! That's our support group what we do is that we have a logical take on things that i think the general public has but they never have it reconfirmed they even have a logical take they see something this is stupid this can't be happening and then all the news people come around say oh yeah no that's what's happening that's what's happening

1:10:50 Bombarded by bullcrap and we come along say no. No, that's it's bull crap just like you thought Oh I like the chat room if you don't know about something don't talk about it Know that what are you talking about? This is the whole point is to talk about things that we don't know about and then magically We have people in in network who show up with information that we don't I don't know You know, I don't care. Ah annoying It's three hours. We do this show twice a week, we provide six hours of material about people who are good and they're driving their cars. If we talk about things that you knew about it would be five minute show! My voice goes out at 245. I have to have a logic. I'm always being called out too. Hey what are you eating? Something?! Alright stop, calm down now, calm down

1:11:41 Calm down. I don't mind, in fact i encourage being corrected please help us you know now Is that it? I think so, yes. We appreciate this kind of support... really love the Fletcher Fest donations and we need to put a cap on this! I already heard from GX2 he's very excited slash anticipating doing something for the big Fletcher Fest when we have a whole compilation of everything So how long will this go on? I don't know Eventually we'll have enough names

1:12:25 He should probably just throw in a Muhammad and a couple of those, you know. Just to help everybody out. These are official credits just like Hollywood we run on the same general principle that the people who are really financing the project, certainly the executive producers and associate executive producers are mentioned up front. And of course we thank everybody during our longer segment or a full segment which is coming up everybody above $50 in it without this show would not be happening at all but it also a lot of it is the intelligence network who give us tons of feedback tons of input and they are the experts in the field and will have a couple examples about today on the show with emails that came along with

1:13:07 The uber sources John I have a new very new source of information. I sure do. You always need to be out there doing the very important work of propagating our formula Our formula is this we go out, We hit people in the mouth In fact Why don't I start off with my Uber sources? May I first call you out? Yes. Without knowing this fact, I'm going to call you out anyway... You- we have a guy who goes through a lot of work for us and he gives us a lot of input too who makes CDs and he burns these discs and again we supposed to give them out Have you given any discs to anyone Uber driver ever? No

1:14:09 You're right. I stand corrected. I wasn't correcting you! No, you could...I stand called out. Okay Two drivers and it was unfortunate that we didn't have a show because we did have an election and I spoke to this Uber driver from Nigeria It's amazing we got a Nigerian here in Texas. Wow, just go around more! Now what I've... yeah there is a limit to what i can do on the video it's not free then I am kind of paying for the information and what I've done now as I started recording the conversation on my iPhone so that I don't remember all this stuff now I don't have permission from these guys to play it

1:14:57 But I will play a little bit of it, just so you get the idea of the conversation. So here is...I learned something very new in Nigeria. Of course, Nigeria is where Good Luck Jonathan was just voted out which this Uber driver predicted two days before he said oh this guy has got to go and last year when you recall we sent because of Boko Haram kidnapping the girls which he literally said there were no girls kidnapped This is all bullcrap. He said the US envoy and of course we sent military advisors and accountants, you remember? We looked at that and there were accountants going to look on the billions of dollars of oil well missing they met with Buhari so that's why he said everybody knows that good luck Jonathan is out but then he says this guy stole so much oil

1:15:52 on the back end, the good luck Jonathan. And he had a term which I had not heard before and this is part of the recording of my trip. So he's talking about monthly $270 million that Good Luck Jonathan would be putting in his pocket And this came from the following term. Let's see if we can hear this. Good luck, good luck. 270 million dollars worth of a tanker load of crude oil 2 million barrels that's what they load for him they call it off OPEC Off OPEC? Have you ever heard of this? No It is an entire industry

1:16:39 If you search it, off OPEC oil is a well-known entity. It is unreported oil that according to my Uber source they actually have a separate pipeline that is undocumented, that siphons off this Off-OPEC oil for sale at a deep discount. And I find all kinds of references to this Reuters talking about here the buyer beware of 10 million dollar discounts on Nigerian oil This is also from the Off OPEC Oil. I'd never heard

1:17:15 this term. Yeah, I'm looking now there's apparently a lot of off OPEC stuff in Nigeria is commonly associated with it. Here's off OPEC Nigerian oil services. Isn't that great? Wow! You'd think someone would mention it. I just never heard of it, but there's a whole secondary market that is just not being reported and apparently being stolen by guys like Good Luck Jonathan. At least we won't see that hat anymore. Then the next source... So this guy walked away with over $1 billion then? Yeah.

1:18:01 And that was the money that the accountants along with the military advisors were probably going to go looking for. Oh, right exactly! Hey man where's that off OPEC oil? So another thing to put into the database to be on the lookout for stories about off OPEC oil... Then this guy from Syria I got lucky man it's been fantastic you know now getting in the car And there's a guy from Austin, you know Texas driver. Why are all these crazy guys coming to Austin to drive Ubers? Well have you been in Nigeria lately? How about Syria? No! Yeah but Austin?! I think the climate works for them... Well it is very similar yeah. It's hot Here's the guy from Syria

1:18:51 And he had a slight different take on IS. He believes that Iran is also backing ISIS, I-S-I-L-I-S. Eb says what is happening right now? He says truly it is the Sunni Shia religious war and that Iran wants to bring back the Farsi empire with Baghdad as its capital, of course now we're about to go into the Iranian negotiations which I have a lot of information on including details from a new economic hitman who has reached out and that a lot of these negotiations are really to enable Iran to police the entire region Middle East if we can. And his idea is if we can control Iran

1:19:40 Then we can control the entire Middle East and it also provides a nice counterbalance to the Saudis. Of course, you need to control them and not just by the typical means in the relationships with had with them but also having a true counter balance on the other side of the spectrum, religious spectrum as well. Here's a little snippet from the Syrian driver Uber Source number two for the week As far as Iran is concerned and they're not hiding it They said we are going to bring back the Farsi empire back and our capital is Baghdad They're talking in the media everywhere. Right, well technically that's kind of true about Baghdad because this was not you know these were not countries a hundred years ago. So by the way you need to do this if you get in a cab or any kind of anywhere anyone can interact with a driver just say where are you from wait for it and If you've listened No Agenda for at least awhile You'll be able to say something that will make this person's eyes light up

1:20:42 They get so... they're so happy that, oh wait a minute. My goodness there's an American who understands what is really going on and isn't buying the bullcrap from the media this is fantastic! Try it you really will not be disappointed Yeah no I do it myself but I don't take that many cars obviously like you But I do it and always get good stuff Like I said last time when I took a drive with somebody he ended up showing me a bunch of videos I had to watch So then I got a very lengthy multiple email all encrypted from the get go in an exchange.

1:21:22 with a new economic hitman who I think really has his finger on the pulse of what's happening. And, and I'd like to read two pieces it's all lengthy so i just cut out two pieces that I want to talk about one is about Iranian control which uh...so this kind of flows out from what these Syrian uber source just said and then about the actual nuclear discussions and I have received from a number of people including from German sources the names of all the negotiators and The reason why the Germans are in on this is because a lot of Iranian technology is German apparently This is what? I didn't know so that's why they're involved, and if you just take the

1:22:04 The position that we are negotiating with Iran probably to have a nuclear capability, but certainly to control all of the Middle East or be the weighing factor and us having control over them. It makes a lot of sense. Here we go... A moderate non-nuclear but strong Iran is a perfect counterbalance to the Saudis. Don't forget that there are interests to be protected that do not allow for constant armed intervention." The Sauds must be contained, Turkey must be contained. Iraq did that when Hussein was still in place now Iraq is waiting to be cut up between Jordan Saudi Arabia, the Kurds and Iran but the result of that will be that there will be a power shift

1:22:45 Somebody, he says probably the Sauds will have the majority of access to both oil and gas together with the Kurds in the north. But how can the Kurds bank on this? Only by either going through Turkey or through the Saud's not a good idea if the Turks and the Sauds mess with each other then the whole balance will tip and the tap will be closed so rather than set up a three-way if two of them fight have 1 third that could moderate and ensure access So instead of having Turkey and Saudi Arabia step into the next round of becoming the dominant power, introduce a third power that keeps the other two from finishing each other. And that's Iran. It's like putting a stool on three legs instead of one, create a controllable stability by having enough semi-equal parties that should ensure that no power there will be strong enough to create a leading power the region if any would the West would not just lose access to a little oil and gas but of course would also see itself depend on this new player for the African access and it would create a new power block they'll include the middle and near east much of northern Africa in parts of the Turk countries

1:23:48 So, maintain a balance that has no clear dominance and that does not allow anybody to break out of the scheme without making oneself vulnerable. I think that's viable and it sounds like pretty much a neocon type of plan. Sounds more like an analyst than he does as economic hitman to me. He is giving me... okay. Okay? He is a spook Yes, and he is okay. We'll just call him the spook He's provided information to us before but now I'm now on now. I know that he's mmm. I think he's for real He's for real because he exists yeah there you go really not really real well that sounds like when you consider the idea that they may be the Iranians will get the nuke and

1:24:37 Well, Baghdad's interesting. Well here is what... this is the stuff I have no idea if it's correct or not and I'm going to send this to him. I know that the Iranians would like to do this. Sure! Here's what I'll be sending to Atomic Rod Adams about the negotiation and the centrifuges and what this is about. This is just little technical but he seems to know what he's talking about So the question is, how many centrifuges does Iran need to a. supply for atomic energy programs and b. build the bomb? The key to nuclear-efficient weapons is based on enrichment that means that from a lump of dust you want to increase the concentration of certain isotopes. The isotopes need to be fissionable U235 as the target

1:25:22 and they must come in a certain density to allow for various types of chain reactions. For energy production, the density—the amount of U-235 required is relatively low and the purity required is also low. For weapons, the density must only be slightly bigger it starts at 20% but that gives you a very unreliable and inefficient device usually 85% as the target however purity becomes a critical issue Now, enrichment works in stages. You essentially—and he said essentially—put the input material into a solution, transform that into a gas and then pump that through a centrifuge. The centrifuge separates atoms by mass. U-235 has a mass different from other elements and their isotopes, however centrifuges only separate into two masses so you get a heavy and light output. And here it comes... Since the input is a mixture of all kinds of stuff he needs several stages for enrichment for density increase only few stages are required For purity increase you need a lot of stages So he says The various stage of centrifuge put in series it's called a cascade Multiple cascades in parallel are called matrix

1:26:26 So the longer the cascades, the better for purity. The bigger the matrix, the more total output. For doing weapons grade you need a lot of stages meaning a lot of centrifuges to get enough uranium... To get fuel for nuclear power you need shorter cascades but a lot more of them so he says the whole idea of how many centrifuges you need is complete bull crap And that number and the number of the centrifuges is just an obfuscation of what they're really negotiating on, which is the matrixes and the number of parallels. Which comes back to our... What you've read doesn't make sense then? I'm sorry? What you read doesn't make sense based on that last comment because the description that you had sounds like there would be a variable number of centrifuges under whatever... Three thousand or five thousand are in negotiation yeah

1:27:19 But then why does the number not mean anything? Well, the way I understood it is that it is about the... Okay. In order to create fuel you need a lot- The ways being positioned is the more centrifuges, the more likelihood of creating a nuclear weapon and The way I understand it is that is almost exactly the opposite That you need a lot more in the parallels or for a matrix in order to create nuclear fuel So the centrifuges are not just about creating the purity of it. Yeah, no I understand that part but the comment that number of centrifuges is meaningless which was the last thing whatever you were reading... The number of centrifuges as the mark for whether a country can build a nuclear weapon or not i think that's the point Well it was very confusing what you just said. Ah! I'm just reading

1:28:16 I know, whatever that guy said. What he said was confusing. Who was that? Is that the same guy? Well... Summarizing would have been better. There's no way to summarize! I think it is complicated but his point is that we brought this up in a previous episode that the number of centrifuges may not have anything to do with anything then this would be Which is the summary, which in fact is a summary. It has nothing to do with anything I don't think the discussion of cascades versus you know The light versus heavy and all the rest of it seem it just confuses things. So its not the number of centrifuges Its the depth of the matrix Yeah Well you know what atomic rod will help us out on this. He can summarize yes

1:29:09 And he's celebrating his 20th anniversary, I think of the atomic 20th or 10th or 50th. He's got some kind of celebration of his Atomic Insights blog. Yeah, he's another one of those professionals we work with So I'm watching some mainstream TV to change the topic unless you got something else. Well, let's talk...so we're gonna be international. Let's talk about the Turkey shootings only for the reason that there is some action going on in Turkey as usual but only for the reasons that when he throws it or she throws it to the reporter, the reporter has this cadence that I wanna maybe discuss for a second because it's a style of reporting that is comical

1:29:58 Two deadly shootouts in two days across Turkey after police shot and killed an unarmed, an armed rather female assailant. Officials say the woman and a companion were trying to attack Istanbul Police Headquarters The second attack on an official building in the past 2 days follows Wednesday's hostage taking which left a top prosecutor dead after he was seized by leftist militants. Solange Moujan has more carrying guns and explosives. In these amateur images, the woman lying on the ground outside Istanbul's police headquarters has just been shot dead after trying to attack with an accomplice at the Turkish capital's main police headquarters. Investigators have taken the accomplice in for questioning to find out why they targeted the police. Turkey's president denounced the attack and called for heightened security.

1:30:57 So there's something going on, but this seems like pretty routine. But it is this woman's report that got to me because the way she talks about the police and heightened security... And this is exactly what our $200 donor wants this show to become! No. Well NPR's podcasting revenues are up they've doubled year over year Oh yeah, there must be up to millions. They probably are. Of course none of the local stations are getting that which is what will kill the NPR network long term

1:31:36 Yeah, I'm surprised they're gonna continue this. They can't. They won't. Molly Wood of course has gone there. She could do this cadence. She could do the NPR thing. I bet she can too! Is she working there already? I think she starts shortly and what party was this? This is a key I went over to the party. Uh, you know, I don't get out of the house that much no But I drove over there to one party It was the 10th anniversary of buzz out loud a long gone podcast You know, yeah, it's not it hasn't been in but I think they five years at least or longer. I don't know and

1:32:24 And so they had this event that was like a buzz out loud show videoed at this Hack Five operation, which is kind of interesting. They do podcasting, Hack Five does and I would recommend watching a few because there are extremely high-end hacking shows about gear and stuff that's actually beyond me but I find it fascinating And so Molly was there with Tom Merritt and Victoria Belmont. So I went there to see what was going on, and I got some gossip. I found out that Molly's quit The New York Times and she's going to work for Marketplace which is the show on NPR or...

1:33:08 NPR. And okay, I don't know what she's gonna do, I guess she'll be the tech person and I guess she's happy as a clam doing that and then I found out by listening to what they were talking about Victoria Belmont kind of just quit tech! Yeah well it happens... I didn't know what she was doing. Then ran into a few other people, Leo Laporte's old I don't know what to call her. She's kind of a... One of his ex-wives? No, this is Colleen the woman who set up the original Totti. Right she's married to Tom. Tom's wife

1:33:50 No, Tom's wife. No Colleen is a tall Why are we talking about this? You asked me no you had to you at some point about this you had some point I just said what party I didn't say who was there and who was it was Tom like the party Yeah Well then I did that's when I found out that Molly's working for marketplace and your right she can sound like an NPR person Okay fine okay quit Please please stop now. I saw a guy on Fox Lieutenant General Michael T. Flynn talking about... I've never seen him before, so i just-I'm scanning around and see this guy and he starts explaining almost to a tee with the West Clark 7 of what is going on in the Middle East And at first I was like oh you know he's using some words that I don't like He's using phrases but then I looked him up

1:34:43 And this guy, he was the director of... a deputy director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and he was like pushed out or he quit in a huff you know just last year. He's not with any... he's not with a consultant, he's not consulting for some war. Give me his name again? It's Lieutenant General Michael T Flynn And so it was a 2014 he abruptly announced... He does have the Michael T. Flynn Foundation Okay, but he's not with... This is different to Michael T. Flynn I think must be Yeah He is not with any war

1:35:28 or military industrial complex type outfit. He's written a couple books, he did serve as the top intelligence advisor to McChrystal in Iraq and Afghanistan and he wrote in 2010 a scathing report titled Fixing Intel... You're out! Yeah so but the fact that he isn't at any other outfit you know you know, gave me pause and I said well let's listen to what he has to say and take it with that information in mind. That he is not your typical shield that is being brought on. He's not a shield. Two big points one where we are? And then what do we do about it? And I think where we are right now we have almost a complete breakdown of order in the Middle East A new middle east is essentially struggling to be born The second thing is we have Iran on the march Iran is clearly on the march

1:36:19 As Jennifer Griffin's comments highlighted, both in Iraq and Syria, Lebanon Yemen and other parts of the Middle East. We have a takeover of Islam by radical extremists I think this is very dangerous and it is both Shia and Sunni we can't forget that a real sort of pushback by the Sunni governments and their lack of trust and respect for the United States. And I think that at the end of the day we have this incredible policy confusion, never mind what our strategy is to execute that policy." But let me ask you about that because it seems to be a patchwork of alliances where in some countries we're on the side of Saudi Arabia and the Sunnis, in other countries like Iraq were on the side of the Shia and Iran. Can that work? Yeah so let me just start by saying as an intelligence officer, intelligence

1:37:15 Has to be part of the calculus of every strategic level. I know, I know and right now I don't My sense of where the policy is at is it's sort of and I hate to say it like this But it's almost a policy of willful ignorance And to me we have some major problems that we are dealing with and here We are talking to Iran about a nuclear deal with this almost complete breakdown of order in the Middle East What do you think? The thing that annoyed me, of course was the calculus and he also said at the end of the day... Yeah. Right. Sounds like a guy that's been there. I'm looking at his record. He was in the office. He actually became the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency in April 2012 then he wrote another one, I guess Vision 2020 Accelerating Change Through Integration A Broad Look At How The Defense Intelligence Agency Must Transform To Meet The National Security Challenges For The 21st Century Oh!

1:38:12 And so he was out in April 2014, and he announces retirement. So... Well, you know, he kind of confirms the Iranian thing although not saying that... He says there's no strategy that we don't know what...and I'm kind of tend to believe that there is no cohesive strategy certainly now between president and state. There may be a strategy that is by the puppet masters if you wanna look at it from that perspective. That there may not be a strategy by anyone who's actually doing anything, but things maybe have been set in place knowing what the outcome will be. You know we're talking about the Soros' of the world type people that it was...it is a foregone conclusion what's gonna happen and that was the plan all along even though the people doing the activity don't know what the hell is going on?

1:39:04 Which is what he implies. Right, and it will all result in rubble-ization Well yeah, rubble-izing is always the end result and that's a fantastic... CBC radio had a call-in show And there was a funny bit of course and he suggests a book, which I don't think we've discussed on the show. Which by the way, is called The Fourth of July. And it's about this guy named John Miller who was in the United States during World War II. He was a very famous American journalist who wrote a book called The Four of July. And he said that he had been to the United States for four years before he went back home

1:39:48 I've ordered and i'm going to read, and he also just says something funny as it pertains to the six-week cycle of the FBI. Syria now what are you suggesting Mehdi? See what I am saying is that the whole thing doesn't make sense to me because if they are monitoring these people they know who's radicalizing them They know who is meeting with them They know how apartment in Calgary that they could have, is dropping. They knew exactly what's going on." So what role can the community play in a micro-role? I hear your point about monitoring by authorities and this sort of general

1:40:31 Yes, you didn't actually hear the point. The point that he's making is they're doing the same thing. They are monitoring them and they know exactly what these guys are doing. You know overview but let's micro it for communities in Canada. What role should or could they play? How could they play any role if when they don't know? Suhana there is a book called Terror Factory by Trevor Aronson. He is a reporter in United States, he looked at all the terror incident in United States and his finding was alarming 99% of all the so-called incidents of terror and radicalization in United States was initiated

1:41:13 and supported by FBI agents. Okay, you see for example here right now we have two court cases. I don't have time to get into this actually Manny because I want to listen shut up! Get him off okay? You got clip of the day for that You are so- you've been, I think you've been too easy with Clips of the Day. God just give it take it Take it with a simple thank you Thank you, thank you, thank you Because it had everything It had a guy revealing the truth Getting shut off, getting suggested for a book and then get kicked off the air

1:41:52 I don't have time for this bullcrap. Get out of here! It's perfect, so i've ordered the book we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens it was great. I'm sure that is what we have been talking about all the time. I have a red book entry that I would like to hand out. The president is going to visit Jamaica and there has been a lot of reporting...I am sorry? Oman There's a lot of reports on why he is going there, particularly coming out of the island of Jamaica. And... Gunjamon! Well I'm gonna make a prediction and this could probably fall under six-week cycle although it may be comp...I don't know if the FBI has this reach? I am going to say terrorist attack on a cruise ship that would be if I were running this

1:42:49 That's what I would do. It's been done before, by the way. When was this? And was this part of the six week cycle now? This is, I think in the 70s maybe or the 80s it was a seventies. It was a terrorist attack on a cruise ship you just Google it and you'll find it OK so they know how to do it The plan has already been done. It's been done. A bunch people killed and actually one of these news things that we remember it...I don't remember the year obviously but I remember when it happened It was it. That was the cat's meow for like a month. It would be fantastic and have it happen in the Caribbean, this is where you got a lot of cruise ships...it's about time we have a lot of oil there, we need to up the presence, we already have the international community there with the law of the seas... The Achille Laurel! What?

1:43:45 This is the ship. It was, I think it was the Achille or the Chile...The Achille, The Achille Loro. It was 1985 taken over by the Palestinian Liberation Front hijacked by members of the Palestinian Liberation Front in 1985. Yeah, Achille, I think this is how you pronounce it. Can you imagine what kind of a bonanza and cruise ship attack would be? Many things gotta sink if you really wanna do it right you know, some people got to die. Let's see and then we can move yeah the ship caught fire and sunk then we can move military into Jamaica very strategic

1:44:27 Well, you're calling the event and the location. Yes! It's a double entry. At two points if this happens. Oh come on that's a three-pointer if both happen that's an automatic three pointer. We'll have to discuss that in the meeting I think the Caribbean is the next theater It needs to be rubble eyes. No, no not rubble eyes. Yes. Oh don't rubble eyes it? Yeah! No we like Jamaica as a vacation destination We're not gonna do that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Must be rubble eyes all over the world. No it will not be rubble eyes. No but I am putting it in there. I'm putting it up at the top Hmm so what happened in 85 says a different cycle

1:45:17 Speaking of cycles, I wanted to mention something to you. You being the cycle guy ripped jeans Ripped jeans is it can this be an indicator of an economic cycle because they're back Yeah, actually it could be. These are called coincident indexes and they do come and go I think a better one was of course my Bitcoin is Beanie Babies but i may have an actual more like Beanie Babies fad kind of investment bull crap kinda thing play Sneaker Pond Okay. Can somebody bring... How does that work? Used shoes basically will take an exclusive sneaker and we'll analyze it, and tell you whether we can take it or not This is a used sneaker right here Yeah this is a used sneaker right here And this sneaker's original price was $7200 Going used right now thats a $5000 shoe still going use So just gives you an example of how valuable sneakers are Sneakers are like Herman bags and Louis Vuitton bags What?!

1:46:18 Yeah, yeah. This shoe was $5,000. That shoe was 5,000. $5,000?! Alright did he say... what kind of bag did he say? Hermes Did he mean Hermès? Probably. Jesus! It's 5,000. $5,000 for you sneaker Man you can go to Tom Ford and get some damn gator This is a $5,000 shoe. It's the only one that came in that size and that's something that sitting in people closets And they need cash. They need money so sneak up on coming on the scene was just like wow you know what I can liquidate this and get some cash and get some money in issues and sneak upon still so a guy could come in with this shoot as worth five yes he needs Some money, yes You being a pawn shop you're not gonna give him five no we gave him $500 for that shoe you given 500? 500 now worst case scenario He doesn't come back

1:47:15 We can sell the shoe for $2,500 and Chase still made a good profit on his money. So that's just how the numbers is in the sneaker game that's just emerging every single day The business has really taken off. Alright okay. Eh? Eh? Sound like a bubble to you Come on! $5,000 sneaker? What show is this from? Steve Harvey. Oh okay well maybe this is an opportunity now to read a little bit from one of my favorite authors and this is new work that was uncovered by our producer Chris Holman As you know, I'm a big fan of Theodore Kaczynski's Industrial Society and its Future. That being the Unabomber Manifesto Not that i'm a fan of killing people or bombing people but when someone goes to those extremes it's probably worth reading and... ...I read it and keep seeing him being right Chris was looking for this and he found an Amazon giblet

1:48:12 which includes the famed manifesto, but also something called The Unnamed Essay from 1971. And he pulled a couple of quotes out of this which were just astounding realizing this was written over 40 years ago and three pieces one is and this pertains of course to the craziness that we're seeing in the world...the effect of media on society Note the increasing extent to which the average person today is, quote, living in the movies as a saying is. People spend large and increasing amount of time submitting to canned entertainment rather than participating spontaneous activities As overcrowding and rules and regulations curtail opportunities for spontaneous activity And as developing techniques of entertainment make the canned product even more attractive We can assume that people will live more and more in world mass entertainments

1:49:05 40 years ago, not bad. Foreshadowing of Common Core Children will be taught by methods which will become increasingly effective as educational psychology develops to be creative inquiring appreciative of the arts and sciences interested in their studies perhaps they will even be taught nonconformity but of course this will not be merely random non-conformity but creative non conformity sound familiar John? This is creative like how you get to the answer Creative nonconformity simply means nonconformity that is directed towards socially desirable ends. For example, children may be taught in the name of freedom to liberate themselves from irrational prejudices of their elders. Irrational prejudices being those values which are not conducive to the kind of society that most educators choose to regard as healthy. Children will be educated to be racially unbiased, to abhor violence, to fit into society without excessive conflict

1:50:00 by a series of small steps, each of which will be regarded not as a step towards behavioral engineering but is an improvement in educational technique. The system will become so effective that hardly any child will turn out to be other than what the educators desire. They'll become a form of psychological compulsion and then Technology has already made it impossible for us to live as physical, independent beings. For the skills which enabled primitive man to live off the country have been lost We could survive only by acting as components of a huge machine which provides for our physical needs And as technology invades the domain of mind It is safe to assume that human beings will become as dependent psychologically on technology As they now are physically

1:50:46 We can see the beginning of this already in the inability of some people to avoid boredom without television, and in need for others to use tranquilizers in order to cope with the tensions of modern society. I think this guy nails it! Well, I think he nails the intent There was a there was a well, there's actually an ongoing special on racism Which is ever since Ferguson this has become a hot spot. It's almost as though the whole thing was planned This just dropped that clip in there yeah So it's so

1:51:24 It's racism things. And so the NewsHour had this thing, and they...and this is a long piece so I only cut only bit of it and I took some of the stuff out but it was to show that the premise was that the millennials which is what this guy would be talking about have been brainwashed into being less racist than they consider themselves in millennia. And I'm surrounded by millennials at least four of them that I can observe and they have fooled themselves into believing a whole bunch of things about themselves as a group And this racism thing is one of them. And they're not racist, they're different and their old farts are crazy and I have some photos that I took on some of the graphs they did on this report which i'm going to put in the next newsletter and these graphs are important to look at because there very screwy but that's got nothing do with what im about to say So they did these tests

1:52:14 And the report went on, Sreevannavi whatever his name is that Indian guy who's on the PBS News. I can't pronounce his name he was he went through the testing of to see how race how how you are naturally racist or how your biases work. And the first thing they did was they tested on associative white faces and black faces, and the second thing they did was you had to shoot a gun at a figure that hit...if the guy had a gun. You can play the clip and then we'll break it up as it goes along. It's racism in PBS1.

1:52:56 All women, regardless of race had preference for white males. All non-black profiles both men and women had a statistical dislike of black profiles. Dating you know...you judge people reflexively in the same way that it's maybe not the same but similar to how you might judge someone at a job interview or when they try to rent your apartment or apply for a loan. That is very much the data of their first impression Interestingly enough, Emodio's first test results found that my sentiments actually showed a slight preference toward black faces. That I had no problem associating positive words with darker skin. That is not the norm! More than half of the population who have taken the exam take less time to put negative words next to black faces

1:53:43 I'm showing a preference in one way or another according to the test. It's just not the way that 51% are showing it, right? Yeah, that's right. Stop! 51% is no big deal one way or the other. So if 51% see blacks as negative and 49% seem as positive and...or the other way around? That's not even...so this first test is meaningless. It shows that everybody's pretty even about everything. So but the second part is the more interesting one and it apparently applies to the Millennials But this is where it gets interesting in the second test where I had to react almost on Instinct and decide whether to shoot or not based on what? I thought was in someone's hand. I was faster at shooting armed blacks

1:54:30 than armed whites. And I was far more likely to shoot an unarmed black man than an unarmed white one. Sadly, that is the national norm including for millennials. For the PBS NewsHour, I'm Hari Sreenivasan reporting from New York. Racist! Horrible racist millennials shooting a black man. The millennials are still shooting at blacks Wow not so good well then i'll play this This is, of course we just discussed the schooling and we just discussed the millennials. Let's look at the brand new generation Billy from Indy long time boner apologize for that He says I attached a clip here from the childrens program Pocoyo uses his power at Earth Hour 2015 And this is what his two year old daughter Lotta

1:55:28 was watching. This is a cartoon for preschool kids. Welcome to Earth Hour! Use your power to change climate change! Pocoyo, our world is under threat from climate change. Temperatures are rising rapidly as the levels of greenhouse gases are increasing quickly The impact of climate change can be terrible causing extreme droughts that threaten people, vitally important species and their habitats. The icy Arctic is warming at a rate of almost twice the global average, leading to melting glaciers which raise sea levels. Oh! It seems that Pocoyo has an idea! Oh great! Pocoyo is planting a tree! By planting trees we can help stop climate change You can also support our project at earthhour.org

1:56:26 This year, Pocoyo is supporting Beacon for the Sunderbans. A project that aims to raise funds to provide solar-powered electricity... ...to 1,000 homes in the Sunderbans, a rural community in India Find out more about how Pocoyo and his friends are joining forces... ...and using their power to change climate change And support Earth Hour's social and environmental projects all over the world This is for kids. You know, I had a clip of couple shows ago we never played it but i'll just give you a brief summary they they had this they have this thing every year called earth hour yeah where you turn your power off for an hour your lights here your lights not your power your lights your lights please leave your computer and your dvr and everything on yeah stuff should go downstairs keep your car keep your your car plugged in keep it charging yeah turning off your lights okay

1:57:20 So they had this local reporter and said, here's San Francisco Bay Area. And here is the hour and they show them the view of the bay of San Francisco from a distance. The top little decorative part of the Transamerica Pyramid went off not a single other thing Nobody turned off anything. Nothing! And so it was like, oh isn't that great? They made a big deal out of this and in New York they showed the Empire State Building, decorative buildings with those lights but nothing else went out nobody pays attention to this crap

1:57:58 Meanwhile, it's poorly marketed. They don't do a good job of it. It's very poorly marketed. Well they think it was I think the first year was well marketed but meanwhile since we're talking about students and schools and everything which kind of leads to common core especially that analysis then this comes up play the cheating in school clip okay A jury in Atlanta has convicted 11 former public school teachers, principals and administrators on racketeering charges tied to cheating on standardized tests. The convictions came on the eighth day of jury deliberations after a six-month long trial that details systematic cheating in more than 40 schools involving more than 170 educators and administrators. 35 people were indicted, and prior to the trial more than 20 pleaded two lesser charges Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard spoke afterward about the impact he hoped the trial will have

1:58:56 Our entire effort in this case was simply to get our community to stop and take a look at our educational system. That's what we wanted, we wanted people to look at the educational system that their children attended every day to make some assessment after they made that assessment what we had to do as a community to move forward. Signs of widespread cheating in the Atlanta schools were first uncovered in 2008 by an Atlanta Journal-Constitution investigation Kevin Riley is the editor and he joins me now Kevin Riley welcome to the program explain to us again what the charges were how did cheating on a school test become something that people may go to prison for?

1:59:50 Well, in the end we all have to remember that there were bonuses and financial incentives tied to the performance of students on these test scores. So in the end teachers and administrators and principals have to attest to the validity of the tests. And that's really how the prosecutor pursued racketeering charges because his case was based on illegal activity of a legitimate enterprise. Well, this is a bull crap situation. They put these people in... If the students don't perform well they get incentives it's if they don't perform well they can get fired. Disincentives yeah! This is not the way to go on and this is just the first of many I think

2:00:52 Many of these such cases cheating going on all over the place. The kids are all for it They don't shop to find that gambling is going on in here nailed it finally Jingles Finally nailed it yeah, it's about time um I think this is just the tip of the iceberg. There's no other way for these educators to keep their jobs, they have to have high performance scores and the kids have to do it somehow or whatever." Yeah well this is...yeah, it's corrupt because corruption is created by the government. This is corruption created by the government

2:01:28 This wouldn't have happened if you didn't have this stupid system in place. Well, it's even worse... There is innocence to these people! It's worse. It's not just governments by fascism. The collusion between private enterprise of Pearson and Microsoft... Oh yeah that's true. It's fascism. Corporatism. Corporatism? Fascism? Yeah in the true sense of the word yes. I'm glad I don't have young kids anymore. Just home school them. You can cheat on the test at home All right, you want to go to the Obama thing punishing hackers? Yeah. You have the clip that introduces it. Okay here we go yes I have the executive order which just came out President Obama has signed off on a new way to hit back at foreign hackers with sanctions his executive order assigned today imposes penalties for stealing trade secrets or damaging computer systems companies that knowingly profit from such attacks could also be targeted

2:02:25 Well, this is aimed at the Chinese. Yeah. The company's profiting from the attacks they don't know who these people are? Well I have the exact wording of the executive order and i have a number of things in uh... the show notes for people to peruse through which includes the fact sheet always so handy and i have some feedback on on the actual attacks that took place executive order blocking the property of certain persons engaging in significant malicious cyber-enabled activities. And this is where I want to give pause and say right off the bat, we need a pure definition of cyber it has just become you know this word that everyone accepts

2:03:11 I don't know if it's in the federal, the dictionary act. If they've included this word cyber...the words like hacking and what is the act of hacking? Is that the same as being a node on a DDoS attack? I think that a lot of definition is needed but here are some of the texts here. As any person determined by the secretary of the treasury So it's the Secretary of the Treasury who will be determining if you are a cyber criminal in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of State to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have engaged indirectly or indirectly, cyber-enabled activities

2:03:59 whatever that means, originating from or directed by persons located... What is...? Yes. Go ahead go ask. It's just annoying I mean there's the use of the word cyber and cyber enabled. What does that even mean? Well can you while i'm reading this can you check and see if in the dictionary act has this included? I think that gets updated cyber-enabled activities originating from or directed by persons located in whole or in substantial part outside the United States that are reasonably likely to result in, ... or have materially contributed to a significant threat... ...to the national security foreign policy or economic health or financial stability of the United States

2:04:46 that have the purpose or effect of. So, that whole paragraph right there said even if it didn't work... If you only contributed by I don't know maybe you provided server space and whatever it is you did You can pretty much be implicated in this as long as it had the purpose or effect of a. harming, otherwise significantly compromising the provision of services by a computer or network of computers that support one or more entities in a critical infrastructure sector which is everything

2:05:26 B, significantly compromising the provision of services by one or more entities in a critical infrastructure sector. C, causing a significant disruption to the availability of a computer or network of computers there's your DDoS but you can...you will be you'll be screwed and we'll find out what that screwing is in a moment. D, causing a significant misappropriation of funds or economic resources trade secrets personal identifiers or financial information for commercial or competitive advantage or private financial gain that could be all of Wall Street as far as I'm concerned um and then of course any person determined by the secretary of the treasury so if we don't like how you look son we're just gonna we're gonna pin it on you yeah

2:06:10 Yeah, so it's all of that or any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury. Done! This is like a scandalous... Well no one reads these things John No one reads these Hereby find the unrestricted immigrant and non-immigrant entry into the United States if aliens determined to meet one or more So this is what will happen to you You will not be allowed to enter the United States Any transaction I don't mean that Oh and this is..so they say persons who do this Sounds like if you root your phone. If, well let me think about it for a second could that fall under any of the clauses? Let me see... It depends on what happens with the rooting could be if somehow your phone is then taken over or some malicious code gets onto it that isn't approved by Google I'm sure Could be

2:07:04 Of course, they talk about persons but in this case... This is one of those laws they pass so anyone would just like everybody in the country will be guilty at some point or another. Yes. They can throw the book out you know? Now remember it's not a law its an executive order so there is a difference. Worse! The term person means individual or entity I just want everyone to know that because everyone's all freaked out about the Religious Freedom Act and persons In American law It has always been A person, a U.S. person a company, any type of entity. It's not just one human being it has always been that way don't act so fucking surprised the term entity means a partnership association trust joint venture corporation group subgroup or other organization such as the Noah Jenna family podcast listeners could be an organization a partnership

2:07:51 And the term United States person means any United States citizen, permanent resident alien entity organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the United States. Your money can be frozen you will be blocked entry... The only thing they're saying here that kind of protects us is that you have to be outside of the United States so it could not necessarily mean you as a person in the country This is very interesting that it happens at this moment. And maybe this is where our six week cycle will come from, it's based on some information of the latest attacks from what was it China? We have a dude named Ben

2:08:36 Oh, China and Russia. We have Dudman Ben he sent in the following note... Of course he goes anonymous Not sure if you saw it there was a minor kerfuffle last week regarding some state government sites being brought down by a new Russian hacking group Vikingdom 2015 had you heard about this? No I have not tell me Okay so we actually have a news article here Let me just bring this up for a second. There's here, hackers disable Maine dot gov website for second day in a row and of course... Maine dot gov? Yeah as in the state of Maine and this list... And these are the Russians? Yes, this list Vikingdom... Who got against Maine? Well I don't know if you look at the Vikingdom

2:09:22 Let me see, we have the... they have a target list which they really all these links in the show notes. They've a target list which will be main.gov mass.gov wyoming.gov all these .gov websites and it's the destroy america at vikingdom 2015 target list to destroy America and this of course is the Russians obviously we know this So here's what our dude named Ben says, I'm a dude named Ben for a company that does travel information services for 15 state and city transportation agencies. Several of which were on the Vikingdom target list and that's the ones i just read The relevant part in reason why I am writing this is it had nothing to do with Russia at all When they tried to overwhelm our systems I caught them in the act after monitoring went off a few days in a row at the exact same time

2:10:07 The IP addresses they were attacking from were an IP space owned by U.S military and the reverse DNS was all AF.mil." And then he has a an imager link so you can see for yourself, uh the IP address 132 dot 3 dot 49 dot 81 is registered to the 754th electronic system group as listed in reverse DNS as af and af milia's whole reversed dns no idea what good it does for the chair force too for the airforce to attack government contractors That's a pretty funny chair force. Other than to try to pin it on Russia, but you think that at least tried to spoof their IP address in that case so obviously this is another... And he says it wasn't... Are you kidding me? What a story! Yeah I can play the gambling guy again, geez! This is how it goes. I'm shocked shocked to find that gambling is going on in here

2:11:04 Unbelievable. So they get...so our dude named Ben, one of our many just does a simple reverse lookup and finds the huge block of domain or you know the IPs that they can quickly ramble through without having to use anybody else's and it's just a bunch of government guys. And we have an executive order all of a sudden. What are we going to do? Can you imagine the meetings Well, Sergeant what do you think we're gonna do? We're going to attack the Congress. No no no God's sake! No no no. What are we gonna do? Attack Bane, go to after the government of Maine. Who's gonna care? And then make a list of all the stuff we're going to do but just be careful for God sake here if you bring down Maine's government side who gives a crap what would have to do another one do Wyoming yeah wyo.gov yeah wyo.gov and it just says to Russians don't believe that we got this covered they'll fall for this

2:11:59 Mainstream media especially, they don't know what's going on. In fact the mainstream media does know what's going on you got to play this one Chicago PD reverses the signal I found this GPS device tucked up under the rear axle of the trailer. Thought you might want to take a look Yeah, that's weird shipping company uses dashboard GPS No dummy That GPS actually belongs to whoever was shipping it here when you would probably want attract two million dollars worth of product too Mouse can you reverse signal figure out where its being tracked from? It's easy peasy You call me dummy yeah so reverse the um... The dumb stuff What was that from? It was from Chicago PD, which is a Dick Wolf show and they're gonna reverse the signal. That's right! So the GPS will set...will somehow broadcast who is receiving this signal from this whatever it is Yeah Just reverse the signals see who there to who's listening

2:12:54 You know, when you have executive orders and laws being put in place with nefarious non-meaningful words such as cyber hacker. These things are meaningless there is no descriptive these aren't descriptors there is no news reporting on any of this that is of any value whatsoever In fact the general population doesn't give a shit they don't care they hear hacking or whatever as long my phone works Yeah, as long as my hand yeah. I heard that like the main State of Maine's a website was hacked by the Russians. Yeah man fucking Putin apparently after Wyoming next you know You know what if they change that law in Indiana? You know Putin is gonna go hack indiana.gov. Yeah, I'm surprised that hasn't happened already There's indeed for rescue mission when the world is threatened The world needs help

2:13:49 It calls on America. And that's the story! I'm gonna show my salute by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah, that'd be fab On No Agenda morning You have some people to thank for Show 709? I believe is the number Now we had a special going on here which is for Easter which coincides with your 63rd birthday Something like that

2:14:27 And Easter, yeah. Because I've had...Easter falls on my birthday because I have Sunday birthdays every seven years is what's typical and every Sunday that it falls on which is every seven years, I've always expected to be Easter but no! No, it happens randomly as you see two newsletters ago I had a chart that shows where Easter falls into place and has something to do with the equinox, it gets some screwball pagan calculation. Okay, so I don't get my birthday on Easter that much in fact i've never had it as a grown-up on Easter ever." And how disappointing has that been for you? It's been very disappointing! Since you celebrate Easter so frequently... the Pesach

2:15:09 It's just annoying to me. So we have, yeah a special you can do... We're gonna name everyone who... Now this was questionable whether to do this or not but you suggested it and I okay we can do it! We're going to thank everyone who sent in 4515 as just thanks for sending in the or giving me a birthday shout out and I guess we should do them all at once on the next show? Okay good that's good So if anybody wants to be anonymous that's in this list, which is the problem. I see. The auto-anonymous area that we're dealing with send me an email john at Dvorak dot org or better John at curry dot com

2:15:49 You can send John a carry to Korea comm which is easier for me to cancel so he said do that Or you know and I'll forward him to it Eric to shill or you can send it directly to shill and no agenda nation calm and maybe That's better. I would send it too If you really want to be if you really have to be anonymous Send a note to Adam a curry comm John a curry comm john at the Vork org and she'll add no agenda nation common in Should happen because mistakes can be made. All right, let's thank a few people for show 709 who came in starting with Claire Thornhill from Toronto Ontario one two three four five And this is the set my husband Dara mood on his way to knighthood She has you have to keep track of this yourself as she hit him in the mouth Which is not seeing him and about I think that's fantastic and he's been a dedicated listener ever since hmm

2:16:46 Anyway, thanks for the key. She says John keep the cat pictures coming I hate cats but for some reason your pictures have grown on me I don't know why but now the first thing I look at when they get to newsletter Huh? We had by the way this is news letter was a fail The last one, I'd recommend people go look around for it. And I'd like to do a little bit after this, after my mentions here about the Google Mail which would... This news that had too many links so it ended up in spam there's only about 1 third of the people got it. Just because of the number of links even though you've been pre-approved as a recipient? Yeah

2:17:22 I'm sure that was it. It was, yeah...I follow these numbers closely and- Why do people stand? Why do people take this? Why do you allow a company like just because it's free to allow a company determine what you can receive or not? People don't see this but all right fine That's why I'd go to ctyme.com and get a news...some guy could do news or new, do mail with spam filters. Craig Mazzella in Fairfield Connecticut 12345.

It probably play the real news clip for a second and now back to real news What a great two-to-the head story about Andrew Getty

2:31:32 This is grandson of...is he the grandson of the J. Paul? John Paul Getty, I think so yeah. So he must have had dough, he must have money. Oh yeah all the Gettys had money. So the coroner, the initial report from the coroner was his death appears quote natural or an accident. What does that mean how can it be a natural or an accident and then TMZ they had i think I had the best reporting. Let me just go down to the... here it is. Grandson of oil tycoon J Paul Getty found dead, quote traumatic injury to rectal area. How is that natural causes? Well, I don't know but they don't extrapolate but that's not the headline I want when I die

2:32:29 I do not want traumatic injury to his rectal area. This is poor Adam, oh well We always knew Yeah that bicurious bullcrap A traumatic injury... Oh here it is TMZ reports Getty's death involved a quote traumatic injury to the rectal area with significant bleeding and they just make it worse Oh God yeah isn't no bueno This is not how you want to go out. I want to go out in a blaze of glory, a flaming ball of fire from the sky anything but significant bleeding to the rectal area." It seems like some sort of flaming was involved. Yeah hey now then uh let's see what do we have? Go ahead and roll it Let's do this just get back to politics okay good 13 senators and Fifa mp3

2:33:24 Mm-hmm. A group of US senators has written to football's governing body FIFA urging it to consider removing Russia as host the 2018 World Cup because of its role in the Ukraine crisis and occupation of Crimea The 13th Democratic and Republican us lawmakers said they strongly encouraged FIFA to move the tournament Last month if a president step that rejected Ukrainian calls to boycott the tournament if it remained in Russia, hmm Yeah Guess. McCain? Who else? Well, I guess I got a few Dick Durbin Graham and by the way here's the kicker Bob Menendez Oh yeah perfect But even worse when i was looking up to see who these guys were it was just the usual cast of jerk offs

2:34:13 I looked up 13 senators, you know. And I found that 13 senators also a different group of 13 including Schumer Feinstein and Boxer Marie Cantwell also Bob Menendez all in this case all Democrats have petitioned FIFA to change the Women's World Cup in Canada to natural grass rather than turf. Why not kale? Why are they doing this, why do they... what does it got to do with what we have going on and- What is this has to do with American anything? Are we in the- We're not in the cup are we?

2:34:52 The Women's Cup? I don't know. Are we in... It's the Women's Cup! We're not, this is they're complaining about that?! That doesn't even get primetime coverage. Well apparently they've got time on their hands in the U.S Senate. Feinstein and Menendez what is this guy he's just signing everything what do you already got for me oh yeah I'll sign it probably got himself into trouble anything, oh anything just to get off the F-Russia bandwagon that's what it is. Anything! Anything to do this with. Yeah I know there was F-Russia. You said it this time. Okay here's one... This is what we call when you give yourself

2:35:29 Oh, moral self-licensing. Moral self licensing. Okay here's your moral self licensing regarding this is...this to me is not only pathetic but it does bring us a possible new meme play Avon39 It's the urge to dig deep, to do something big bold and more profound than you ever have. This is Avon 39 two days and thirty-nine miles the walk to end breast cancer where your blisters and sore muscles are a badge of courage it isn't easy but that's what makes it worth it Avon39 The Walk To End Breast Cancer take the challenge become the hero you want to be register today

2:36:15 Geez, if it actually ended breast cancer I'd consider but this is bullshit. Become the hero you want to be? Mm-hmm. I thought that was a good line Yeah But what does this got to do with anything? This doesn't do anything You walk 39 miles and you get blisters And this is like your badge of honor and your...the hero..you're a hero now for walking This doesn't solve the problem No. What does it do? It gets, oh I went on the 39 mile walk so i've done my part... Well I can tell you exactly what this does John because this of course is a part of National Cancer Control Month remember? Ah! So that's all it does. Callback. There's a lot of political noise being made this is going to be very interesting

2:37:02 election for the United States of Gitmo Nation. It appears no one wants to win this, and you and I could run and would have as much chance as some of these people who are in the race. And a couple of let's see first here i have now your girl Elizabeth Warren was on the Today Show with Savannah Guthrie. And I have the entire interview if you want to deconstruct it, it's too long to play. Um...I have a minute twenty. Chopped it up! Well did you get the very first part? So let's give a little background that I'll give to people. The background is of this interview

2:37:45 The background of this interview is Savannah Guthrie has one question in mind and she just hounds... Has to ask over and over again. Hounds Elizabeth Warren Are you going to run? Yes, let me play my clips since it's shorter if you think it doesn't do justice we can do yours Alright? Mine's chopped up. She says no, John. She says no! I'm not running and i'm not going to run Let me make sure that we underscore this and maybe bold it and put it in all the caps I need an answer This is not the answer I wanted Do you think maybe that they were expecting her to say yes And this was the moment she was going to announce? Instead It's just her crappy book. It's an interesting theory. It's a crappy book because

2:38:47 She had no question other than you're gonna run. You're not gonna run, you sure? Have you ever thought of running did you one time when you were crossing the border to Canada Did they ask if you were gonna run and you accidentally said yes I mean just on and on and on it's very funny I have the whole thing And you should put that in the show notes Well, I think I played the rest of mine which is another 45 seconds But play the rest yours and I do have to play the end of mine because i'm sure you didn't get that categorically saying I'm not running for president in 2016. I am not running You care so much about these issues, your supporters say well then you're the person you're the perfect person to go in and fight for them and take them on they are afraid that Hillary Clinton won't give voice to these issues that you care about this is something you obviously feel passionate about you came out of the private sector came to Washington for this purpose because you care about those issues I have to ask you why don't you run? Do think Hillary Clinton as the Democratic

2:39:44 nominee, presumably in 2016. Is she the right messenger for that? Do you think she will give a credible voice to these issues of whether the middle class is getting a fair shake?" Possibly I'm beating a dead horse here but did you ever even consider entertaining the possibility of running for president? No! Yeah, no it's not even in her book. It was in the paperback version of her book. Oh yeah... It was a paperback version. I think someone got duped on this. I think you might be right! That is the only explanation she just wants to sell more books

2:40:26 And she's clearly not going to run. It sounds... Well, then if you play try to back it up so there's about maybe 20 seconds and play the last of my clip because then they throw it to Matt Lauer who makes a snide comment after another and so we end up with people across this country who work hard, who play by the rules and fairly making it paycheck rule followers paycheck That's in part because of choices that have been made in Washington, choices that tilt the playing field in favor of those who have lobbyists, in favor of Fortune 500 companies, in favor of the biggest financial institutions and against real people. Elizabeth Warren is always good to get your perspective thanks for answering the question I guess we put the speculation to a rest this morning

2:41:14 It's good to see you. Thank you very much and once again the book is A Fighting Chance Matt we'll send it over to you. Darius I don't think she's running. Yeah, I don't think she's running either. No! Doesn't sound like there's any possibility. I'd be shocked if she runs. Me too. Darius Rucker has got the number one song in the country. I would be shocked if she runs. Here's how it went down... She has a very important announcement to make on your show about Because this is the time, you know where everyone's talking about running or not. I think they got duped and thought it was that and just turned out to be no here's my shocking revelation I'm not running buy my book. And here's what...you have to also approach it from the agent side The person handling her there had to be a discussion You're trying to trick them into putting on the show so he can plug your book

2:42:01 don't you think there's going to be long-term repercussions?" And she would say, well if I actually run for president at some point they're gonna have to have me on the show then because it's not gonna be any repercussions. Right and they'll be playing my clip saying i'm not gonna run over and over again so that's more publicity and then uh... this is the only book i'm going to do, they probably would never invite me back anyway! So what difference does it make? I might as well just go for it That's a John C. Dvorak view of Reviews of cars. Come on, hey come on! Hey I got car reviews coming. Cough up you gotta explain that for nevermind we'll do another show let me ask you this because i have a clip Carly Fiorina what do you think of her? Well I don't like her per...I mean I've never met her

2:42:50 And I think she, when she was the head of HPI didn't like her and Valley didn't like her in general. When I watch her and she ran for senator against Barbara Boxer couldn't beat her which is pathetic. You mean Boxer the serial rapist? Boxer the serial rapist? No, she was always hitting on people. Oh no she wasn't raping. Well she's a serial sex fiend. She came across as rapey. That was years ago. Rapey! Anyway that backstory for people out there when I was in the air pollution district she would be on it. She was on the board some Eric board and she would always get rides from the various inspectors and then from what i understood trying to have sex with them hey but she was really pretty then she was kind of cute that was like

2:43:35 Well then what was wrong with you? I didn't have that play. I didn't well two things one, I wouldn't have done it but to Where I lived was in the East Bay and that's where I would drive going the wrong direction Missed out on banging boxer because you were lived in the other direction damn whatever the case anyway Where was I? Carly Fiorina. So she, uh...I think- I don't like her style She's got that snooty little twisted way of talking that just bugs me You know it's like How did she do as CEO of HP Terrible Did she have any credits that are good No

2:44:24 And that's why I don't like her. No, that's not why you don't like it. You just don't like her. She rubs me the wrong way. I don't like the way she presents herself and I don't like the way she talks. I don't like anything about her. I just don't like her is just...I don't know if I met or maybe so wow what a great person! I'm judging her only on not meeting her. It's unfair. I have a clip here and she will be announcing she's running for president which puts at 90% certainty I will say, listening to this and I don't like her either. I don't know her or anything about her but she comes up with... you know what? I don't like most people. Not even like you! But here's Carly and she has a pretty good rap and of all the candidates that I've heard at least she wasn't doing all the sickly God bless America bring back our values as most Republicans do Here is her spiel What are the chances that your going run for president Very high

2:45:23 You're a former businesswoman? Give me your number. Higher than 90%. Really?! Yes, sir! So what would prevent you? Why aren't you willing to announce right here today on... Everybody wants this. Everybody wants for someone to announce on their show That's like the same thing with The Today Show Who gives a crap? It's PR. Well, because we need as other potential candidates are doing. We need to make sure we have the right team in place that we have the right support. Money! That we have the right financial resources lined up just as all of the other potential candidates are doing. And when would you announce? Probably late April or early May If you run and it would be in a field of current and former governors several current senators why should Republican voters pick you

2:46:12 Because I have a deep understanding of how the economy actually works, having started as a secretary and become the chief executive of the largest technology company in the world because i understand how the world works. and know many of the world leaders on the stage today because I understand technology, a transformational tool. Because I understand bureaucracies how they work and how you need to change them in our government is a huge bureaucracy And because i understand executive decision-making which is making tough calls in tough times with high stakes for which you're prepared to be held accountable Okay well let's talk specifically about your experience as a business executive

2:46:48 beyond the typical Republican talking points, and not to say that they're wrong. But what are your ideas that are different about the economy and about dealing with our national debt? Well I think we have two fundamental structural problems in our economy One is that we have tangled people up in a web of dependence from which they can't escape And so were leaving lots of talent on the field Secondly were crushing small businesses now Elizabeth Warren is right. Crony capitalism is alive and well, big business and big government go hand in hand but for the first time in US history now we are destroying more businesses than we are creating And so while we have 10 banks too big to fail now become 5 banks too big to fail 3 thousand community banks have gone out of business and that's where family owned small businesses get their chance That's important

2:47:40 because small businesses create two-thirds of the new jobs and employ half the people. She's got a good rap so far I can't find, I can't fault her for anything she says No no you get a good rap I could say all those same things Of course but what she says at the end you would never say well actually You would say it, so would I. So if we want mainstream and the middle class going and growing again we've got to get small-and family owned businesses going and growing again Washington DC has become a vast unaccountable bureaucracy It's been growing for 40 years We have no idea how our money is spent I think there are two things that would help tremendously One zero base budgeting so we actually know where the money is spent And we're talking about the whole budget not just the rate of increase

2:48:26 pay for performance in our civil service. We have, how many inspector general reports do we need to read that say you know you can watch porn all day long and get paid exactly the same way as somebody who's trying to do their job? It's true! It's true I like that and i would like that job please Yeah, government job you can do it. Now what I like about Carly Fiorina entering the fray is it will be fun to watch women talk about her as if she's scum Because she's Republican. Oh, yeah all Republican This will be this will be fun to watch and it'll be fine It'll be like she's an idiot She stupid well the image is nut you You watch days? Yeah? Oh yes gun lover yeah wait until the hates gay thing comes up please That way kind of fell by the wayside they done thing

2:49:23 We have to need a shooting. There'll be one April 15th, April 15 for the six week cycle Be on the lookout for Caribbean issues and On Sunday tech news with it with us.
