About this episode

The 2015 White House Correspondents Dinner took place against a backdrop of civil unrest in Baltimore, as CNN and other major networks faced sharp criticism for prioritizing a televised joke fest over breaking news of the riots. President Barack Obama utilized actor Keegan-Michael Key as an anger translator to deliver pointed political messaging on climate change and campaign finance, while comedian Cecily Strong targeted the Brian Williams scandal and Rand Paul. Behind the gala's facade, the detention of Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian in Iran and the accidental drone strike killing of American hostage Warren Weinstein loomed over the administration's foreign policy narrative.

Investigations into the Clinton Foundation intensify following the release of Peter Schweizer’s book Clinton Cash, which details the controversial sale of Uranium One to Russia’s Atomic Energy Agency. The deal, which granted Russia control of 20% of U.S. uranium reserves, coincided with millions in donations to the foundation while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State. Meanwhile, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation faces scrutiny for its significant stake in the Corrections Corporation of America, a private prison operator. In the technology sector, BitTorrent Sync 2.0 continues to plague consumer hardware by overwhelming router NAT tables, leading to widespread network failures and a 45% reduction in the company's workforce.

Beyond the headlines, a spiritual practitioner named Deva performed a house clearing in FEMA Region 6 using dragon blood to seal a purported energy portal. In a lighter moment, a 1971 James Bond film clip regarding the Amsterdam Skinny Bridge is debunked for its historical inaccuracies regarding the bridge's construction. The episode also explores the philosophical warnings of Jacques Ellul and Ted Kaczynski regarding the loss of human autonomy in a digital society.

BitTorrent Sync 2.0 Router Performance Issues

A discussion regarding technical issues with BitTorrent Sync 2.0 reveals that the software update continues to overwhelm router Network Address Translation (NAT) tables. The high volume of connections causes significant network slowdowns, a problem that persisted from version 1.0. Additionally, reports indicate the company recently laid off approximately 45% of its workforce due to revenue challenges.

Segway Control Downgrades and User Accidents

An account of a fall from a Segway during a promotional event for Showstoppers suggests that the device's controls have been downgraded or altered. The user describes becoming dizzy after spinning in place and finding the machine failed to stop upon dismounting. Further conversation touches on the high historical cost of early Segway units, which retailed for approximately $5,000.

01:51 Would never the name that kind of torrent or whatever the name is I think it's just called bit torn yeah, they fired what happened 40 or 45% Let me guess revenue Revenue didn't happen. Oh Yeah, well how you would? Yeah Yeah, and then you want to complain about something else on a Segway I Think they've changed. I think they changed the controls on the thing oh You wrote one recently. I've been on segues before and so i was on another one when i did the 10th anniversary because they were going to put those segue moments in a stupid promotion for the showstoppers? Yeah, showstoppers

02:33 and I fell off. I didn't fall, well actually it was tossed from a diagram. Let me guess... I didn't fall on my asses but then but i ran into uh into a monitor and the thing wouldn't stop and then when I let get off of it kept going! I mean that's not supposed to do that. Let me ask you a question? Was there alcohol involved No, but there was a... no but there was something funnier. I was deciding this would be funny to spin around in a circle because you can see it's got zero radius and that's just the left hand control knob? You go yeah just pull it over and you go round and round. I think I spun maybe one too many times so I was kind of dizzy when I came out

03:09 I don't feel so good Were you in hurling mode, but it's beside the point. I can still tell that the controls on the thing we're not quite as as Functional they used to be I think those things are been downgraded. I mean they work anymore man Yeah, I've had one of the original ones I remember bringing it back from the United States into the Netherlands We were living there and I remember customs going what's this? I said well, it's a segue. Oh what's the value and what are those things cost at the time $5,000 or something? Yeah, thanks. That's it five hundred dollars Okay, and they went and looked it up It was so new they said yeah sounds right okay And it wasn't even in the book no because one maniac in their right mind with export one ah the days of money good times

House Clearing Rituals and Spiritual Portals

A residence in FEMA Region 6 underwent a spiritual clearing performed by a practitioner named Deva using sage and "dragon blood." The process was initiated after reports of negative energy in a studio space. The practitioner claimed to identify a "portal" above a bed intended for recharging energy, which purportedly inspired a book title involving pipelines and pedophiles.

04:01 Well, we should get now get to know what kind of crap you wasted it on oh yeah Did you drive the Segway around Holland the house? We had the castle in Belgium To go from the living room to the kitchen another renter No that wouldn't mean renter. You didn't buy that sure did Well, I thought you were not into property at all. You're always into renting? No! Did you make a profit on it that...You sold it then? Well, I had two houses. I had the castle in Belgium and I had the beautiful canal house in Amsterdam. I'd purchased both of them and after we left, I vowed that for a long time at least would not be purchasing because I'd sold the house in Amsterdam at a significant loss

04:45 The place in Belgium kind of made up for it because I made a profit there, but it's stupid. You know if-if I'm not locked down gonna stay somewhere just makes no sense. Um um...I move around a lot. You're rambling man Yeah, ramblin' man But anyway even though I'm renting this place good news! Uh..I brought in the witch doctor Deva and she came to do a clearing of the-of the place I told you about this? No. This is the second time she's been here. Why, ghosts? Uh... entities You have entities Yes! It's very normal to have a house clearing John with some sage and some dragon blood and she walks around it The both times when she walked into the second bedroom And the reason why is Christina said that she didn't feel right in here I said okay i'll have the witch doctor come and she'll clean it out

05:38 And she almost, she gagged when she walked in. Oh no! Evil spirits! Not necessarily... She said it was this negative real heavy energy around the studio portion Well that's where you sit Well that's where I stand Yeah and i said that makes total sense The signals come in, projecting out It's all about evil people She's oh, I have to do a lot of work here But anyway that's not the cool thing the cool thing is in my bedroom above my head. She says Oh wow there's a portal. Oh wow she used the words. Oh wow yes Okay, that's which doctor speak yeah? This is the portal and it said and it's in though It's going in the right direction it's taking energy up so I could at night I can go through the portal and be recharged

06:32 I knew you would mock me Well let me tell ya stuff is happening. I woke up this morning, and I find man Man, I finally had the title for my book it just hit me so I know the portals working okay pipelines and pedophiles Pipelines in pedophile perfect title for the book Yeah, I think you got it. Maybe I gotta work on the on the portal a little bit Amen fist bump Pipelines pedophiles and portals yeah, I did actually do a lot of research the past couple of days of the past mmm Was it Friday?

CHAPTER 04 / 39 Discussion

Airstream Bambi International Trailer Specifications

Interest is expressed in acquiring an Airstream Bambi International 19-foot trailer for a potential "Trail of Tears" tour. The discussion compares the 16-foot and 19-foot models, noting the layout benefits of the larger version's corner bed and dinette windows. The high retail cost of these trailers is noted, leading to a suggestion of seeking a factory discount or promotional barter.

07:27 But I've decided, well there's two things. One is a gun license for all states. Isn't there one state you can get your license in and it's good for all states to at least transport weapons? Well I know that it's possible with the Washington State if you have a gun permit you can get one in California but you still have to fill out paperwork It's not like there's a national gun license which unless they're in the FBI I do recall a while back people would send me information about it. Someone will send you information for sure again and what I really want, what would really make this whole deal...would make me happy is if i had the Airstream Bambi International 19-foot trailer. Thought you're going to get the 16? Well I looked at

08:18 It's only three feet different and it has to be a C so that the bed is in the corner, and then the dinette is in front with all of the windows. I could live in that! Seriously, I could live in it. Yeah? Well, but these are- Isn't that the idea? A good trailer you can live in? But like...I mean, I could just live in it forever. I could just live in it. Yeah, you could. The problem is the cost. Holy crap! Uh yeah they're not cheap They're three times retail value pretty well. I've been looking around that's these things new Or you can get one that's from, maybe... Maybe somebody from Airstream listens to the show. Now would that be okay for us to take that as a barter? I mean that's kind of... Wait let me think about this. If i'm able to say hey this thing sucks then okay. Somebody well we have to assume it's not going to happen because nobody says that about these devices. They're fantastic!

09:22 Let's say that somebody works for Airstream, listens to the show. They said well you know you can have I'll give you a factory discount of it'd be probably around 20-25% maybe How about just give me one? I don't understand No they're not gonna give you one that's not gonna happen. No But how about just for the tour Maybe as a promotional idea there be promote. Yeah this segment brought to you by Airstream The b-block is brought to you by air streams Bambi Airstream Bambi 19 Fits everyone's need there are some custom jobs man that are so perfect for me, but man it's I mean It's pretty much like a car like a new SUV

10:11 Yeah, I think in cost Don't think I can do that People have to understand you know I tweeted a picture. I still can't get the vision out of my head of you bombing around some dusty old castle with this Segway It was not that dusty it was nice We had to call each other on cell phones To find you in the house. Hey, where are you? Where are ya? Another thing I just don't... It's ridiculous! But I learned so much and you get all these people around you when you have that kind of money You get all these people around you and then they start fighting with each other And the whole thing is just bad energy as bad as bad it's bad Screw up happy. I'm happy. I took a vow of poverty So you found the portal house and then you also and you were rousted at ghost is that what happened?

White House Correspondents Dinner and Baltimore Riots

The 2015 White House Correspondents Dinner took place simultaneously with civil unrest and arrests in Baltimore, Maryland. Criticism is directed at CNN for prioritizing the televised "joke fest" over live breaking news of the riots. A CNN analyst is quoted suggesting that viewers interested in the chaos should look to Twitter while the network remains committed to its scheduled broadcast of the dinner.

10:59 What was Christine's complaint? She had a ghost in her room. I think it was just the energy, just the energy... Oh okay you don't have a... then there is no ghost involved There was no entity in her bedroom or in the studio as we call it No. I just put up a poster personally but okay A Ghostbuster poster I said, any old poster is drivable way. And then last night Saturday night Austin was cranking we have the Austin Food and Wine Festival which is right in front of the building and Republic Park fantastic free music again I have a front row seat to anything that happens here now then I was supposed to go see... Aren't you in a tall building thats fairly new? 2008-2007 it's not that new why

11:51 I'm just thinking of how you get negative energy. Where does it come from? It doesn't go to space... Oh, no! From you mainly it's coming out of your router into my router. It's all through the internet. The routers in here everything is in here so all that energy is... Ah, the internet yeah. This has got be a problem for everyone in the future. I think so too. Everyone needs to learn how do a clearing on their properties. Of their cash. So I sat and watched the White House Correspondents Dinner. Once again, I don't know how we mess this up every single year we promise each other next year we're going to do live play-by-play of the red carpet arrivals and what happened to that? We forgot about it...I didn't even see the event! Oh really you missed the whole thing?! Listen, I sent you a text message are you watching

12:43 Yeah, but you didn't say specifically what yeah I was watching the I was watching the Warriors Pelicans of course well we're glad you're very involved in the show This could be something could have happened someone's head may have popped off And it would have been good show material CNN CNN Was not gonna do anything different than show these show this joke fest which I do want to discuss But what happened? just as they were getting underway when the Correspondent Association's awards were being given out, which has got to be the... I mean it's so... that's almost as bad as the podcast awards man. The way they do that. You gotta come up you gotta kiss everybody. Yeah i got my award and CNN of course noticed that we had riots in Baltimore there was all kinds of stuff going on but they were not gonna cut away and here's one of their political

13:35 political experts who was on the show explaining. This is always about choices, right? I mean you know you have to make a decision what are you going do with this two hours of time and we've CNN made its decisions and it's sticking to its plan so forth if people want to know yes twelve people were arrested the Baltimore police have tweeted that you can find that out now You can find a live feed if you actually wanna watch what's going on It sounds like complete chaos The cops apparently keeping people in Camden Yards where the Orioles game is winding down They don't want more people going into the streets. We don't have that confirmed right now. So they're even talking about, you know, people being... Another bickering. Yeah well we don't have that confirmed This is all what I'm seeing on Twitter and so you can find out what you wanna find out On Twitter And something else is going on The most powerful man in the world Is gonna tell some jokes

14:22 well stop the presses. That's an odd sort of set of circumstances but it was not a set of circumstances when he told jokes on the same day that they were killing bin Laden we don't control a lot of this stuff you know, sort of make our best choices and will catch up people will be informed to find out all about the scholarship winners will find out all what happened in streets of Baltimore by this time tomorrow. That's so great CNN pretty much says you need to watch us If you want news go to Twitter, that's what he said yeah. I thought that was pretty phenomenal So you did not watch no? I missed it well then let me just give you a cut Wow That is unexpected Well, are you watched it you covered me and I'm not even worried about it because I'm sure when you've dug up I gotta tell ya but I didn't really die anything This is so much funny material could do have could you have problem like oh

CHAPTER 06 / 39 Discussion

Celebrity Arrivals and Presidential Comedy Sets

Observations from the White House Correspondents Dinner include the arrival of Wolf Blitzer with State Department spokesperson Marie Harf. President Barack Obama delivered a comedy routine featuring jokes about Joe Biden, Indiana's religious freedom laws, and MSNBC's low ratings. Comedian Cecily Strong followed the president, though the timing of the jokes was noted as difficult for a professional comic.

15:18 Texted me back and said no I'm watching the game or you just just ignore them my text Or did you only get that this morning? I actually haven't even gotten it yet All right So the way this works is it's a whole bunch of douchebags from Hollywood, well it's supposed to be the Washington...the White House Correspondents Pool. Then this is their association they have a little club and then they invite celebrities to come sit at their table It's a big to-do and everyone dresses up And again on the carpet and I actually wound up watching a lot of Bloomberg who had pretty good live red carpet coverage There's no Ryan Seacrest by the way

15:58 But it was pretty good, and they were asking who are you wearing? They figured it out. You know how to do the red carpet arrivals. Marie Harf arrived with Wolf Blitzer. Oh that's interesting! He always arrives with one of these bimbos Don't call her a bimbo Okay, he's always arrived with one of these bimbos She's not a bimbo sure she is oh that's no Yes, oh I disagree okay fine you disagree There she is Maria Harf. Yeah, she's ditzy but Okay, we always dates would taste one of these did this to the event he got married blizzard why you tell us more? I will find out ok so boo had

16:49 Cecily Strong was the comedian. She's from Saturday Night Live, I'm not really familiar with her...I don't watch Saturday Night Live at all because Saturday nights are spent prepping. There i sat. I even tweeted a picture of me my sad ass single man who doesn't have the big TV yet from the divorce TV with all the wires hanging out and my frozen pizza, and my glass of red wine. Did you know that Wolf Blitzer is 60-70 years old? He was born in Augsburg Germany. Hence the name Wolf! And Blitzer! I didn't know that... And you know what entire weeks go by i don't care Yes he's married to Lynn Greenfield since 1973 they have one child why doesn't he bring his wife to the event

17:38 He talks her out of it. Say, honey this is better for publicity I'm gonna take Marie Harp and besides that blonde look how cute she is Look how cute she is! I love the chat room suggestions buy a DVR Adam Oh yeah okay I'll watch five hours the next day Chatroom irritates me sometimes So the way this works is the president does, first we get the awards and then the president does a little some business, some jokes. Usually very good. President Obama is outstanding at delivering a joke He really really is very very good And of course it's really tough to follow

18:20 the president as a comedian because you don't know what his jokes are going to be. And I think he must have... and it's really the punchline, so he used the punch line of Joe Biden being the best in massage, back massages. He had a punch line about not being served pizza in Indiana if you're gay. There were four or five... Cecily, is that her name? Cecil? Cicely? Cicily! Do you have any examples of these jokes? Are you going to play a clip? Yeah, let me see what I have. First this was just something that wasn't and there's always messaging whatever the president does in this there is always messaging and by the way he did something different this year He did not do full-on all jokes one after another yet little skit in the middle And that was really the big piece

CHAPTER 07 / 39 Discussion

President Obama's Anger Translator Skit and Climate Messaging

President Obama utilized an "anger translator" character, played by actor Keegan-Michael Key, during his Correspondents Dinner routine to deliver political messaging. The skit addressed campaign finance regarding Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton before pivoting to a serious message on climate change. The performance mocked Senate Republicans for using snowballs to deny global warming while citing Pentagon concerns over national security risks.

key and peele· luther· climate change· barack obama· political messaging

19:16 of his routine. They've had skits before, they play that little movies... He did a skit on stage Oh that's different Yeah and it was long and it was very very good when it comes to messaging but first he did a name check two guys we've spoken about on this show before as possible hopefuls for the Democratic Party And I just thought it was interesting that he called them out Look at my Cuba policy The Castro brothers are here tonight! Welcome to our- Amigos, que pasa? What it's the Castros from Texas. Oh Iowa Queen Hi Julian Anyway There you go So we call out Ted Cruz and uh

20:15 Well, of course he called out Ted Cruz. And the other guy? But this was different. This was there are these two guys, the Castro brothers... I think remember Obama bought dinner a long time ago one of them said the Castro brothers that the big hope for the Democratic Party you may not recall. No. Because that was really just a nice name check for them And then he went into... so you know a couple jokes of course, he had the obligatory things and making jokes about stuff and talking about MSNBC how low their ratings are. You know okay ha-ha very funny but then he brought out the anger translator which is a bit I have not seen i guess it's something that has done somewhere where one guy talked... Who was host to this thing? Cecily Strong Oh who'd oh The comedian you mean

21:07 What was she picked? Well, we'll get to that. So the anger translator bit is where the president says guy standing behind him and I'm sure he's well known...I feel so culturally stupid about this i have no idea Key and Peel is what the chat room said. I don't even know where this airs, is this on television somewhere? Anyway... I never heard of it either. I watch too much television! So the president... It's kind of like the we used to do this bit on Top 40 morning radio and you'd say something and then the anger man, the anger translator is like your conscience with what you really meant to say. And the way the bit works

21:50 is in this case, at a certain point it turns around and then the president becomes the anger guy. So I'll start off with a little bit of so you just understand how it works and then we'll go into the President's bid which was 100% pure messaging. I think well done. Protecting our democracy is more important than ever For example, the Supreme Court ruled that the donor who gave Ted Cruz $6 million was just exercising free speech. Yeah! It's the kind of speech like this... I just wasted six million dollars So you get how the bit works? Yeah. Yeah it wasn't all that funny This bid is funny though And is not just Republicans Hillary will have to raise huge sums of money too Oh yeah She gonna get dat money

22:39 She gonna get all the money. Right, so that's how the bit works and that was kind of funny with that stuff but here is... The same bit with the payload meant to communicate a message of well climate change But we do need to stay focused on some big challenges like climate change Hey listen y'all if you haven't noticed California is bone dry It looked like a trailer for the new Mad Max movie up in there Y'all think that Bradley Cooper came here because he wants to talk to Chuck Toms? The science is clear. Science is clear? The science is clear, nine out of the ten hottest years ever came in the last decade Now I'm not a scientist but I do know how to count to 10 Rising seas more violent storms You got mosquitoes sweaty people on the train stinking it up

23:43 It's just nasty. I mean, look at what... Look at what is happening right now Every serious scientist says we need to act The Pentagon says it is a national security risk Miami floods on a sunny day and instead of doing anything about it We've got elected officials throwing snowballs in the Senate Okay Mr President Okay, okay, I think they got it bro It is crazy What about our kids? What kind of stupid, short-sighted irresponsible bull... Whoa! Hey! Get angry Republicans. All due respect sir you don't need an anger translator You need counsel. And then he goes over to Michelle and says she's crazy

24:39 What is the point of this stereotypical, what does some black guy scream in and kind of a... I'm sorry. I missed it. It was interesting because in the beginning I really had to... This maybe we've discussed this before whenever I have a clip I never start exactly at the beginning of the clip, if i can so that you can take a second or two just to get kind of acclimated to the sound of the person's voice. This guy was doing this angry black man thing and I could not understand him in the beginning! It really took me some focus and maybe 2-3 of these jokes before I could really tune into his frequency it was...it was just a little over the top

25:24 And so the snowball, you know as a punchline then Sicily Strong used that later. And then the audience this is what happens if you know what the punch line is and the audience can already feel it coming and then with the minute the comedian hits the punch line I don't understand why they would just skip him The president uses a punchline for a joke in a different setup. You might as well forget about it, it's not going to work the audience is sitting there anticipating the punch line this happens every year And I thought she had some, it was a good routine. She really slammed the president on a couple things like that he didn't take ISIS seriously and what did she say? There was...I don't think I put that one in. The Secret Service is you know it'll be the only law enforcement agency that would get in trouble if they, if a black man got shot. You know okay

Cecily Strong Comedy Routine and Network Critiques

Saturday Night Live performer Cecily Strong delivered a monologue at the White House Correspondents Dinner that included jabs at various news networks. She referenced the Brian Williams scandal and mocked Rand Paul's hair and libertarian platform. The routine concluded with a tribute to Michelle Obama, though some listeners questioned the phrasing used during the introduction.

cecily strong· brian williams· michelle obama· rand paul· saturday night live

26:26 It was some pretty good stuff in there. What I missed is the president said nothing about Black Lives Matter, zero not a single thing while this was actually going on maybe 45 minutes from the DC Hilton in Baltimore. A lot of gay jokes interestingly and Sicily of course... The point of the gay jokes was? Gay jokes are funny. There's a lot of gender bending material over the last week all surrounding the Bruce and Jenner distraction. And we'll get into it, let me just finish up with these clips so you get an idea of the fine things you missed Here she is with a joke about... She rags in all the networks of course and then time for CNN? You gotta give it up for CNN! It's just comforting to know that whenever big story breaks I can turn to CNN and watch Anthony Bourdain eat a cricket

27:18 I like that one. That has happened to me so many times. Let me turn on CNN and Anthony Bourdain once again, she of course is from SNL NBC. Oh what can i say about Brian Williams? Nothing because I work for NBC. Actually that's a funny line because that's one of the points we make on our show yeah A lot of things she said were no agenda-like topics She can't talk about anything that's NBC related. She could talk about the president being shot, but not about NBC just to give you an idea of who has the real power in the room and then she has this whole lead up into an introduction or a nod to the first lady Rand Paul is announced that he's taking over The Family's Not Being President business

28:09 And yes, that's Rand as in he didn't get elected but at least he ran. Now Pelosi is a libertarian which if you're unfamiliar, a libertarian is just a Republican that you have to block on Twitter I like that. Rand Paul's campaign slogan is defeat the Washington machine, unleash the American dream The American Dream of course is the model name of Rand Paul's wig Well enough talk about 2016 let's talk about the most important person in the room my leader The person I'm so glad- That when I heard that I had to play it back three or four times I was so convinced she said mine leader It sounds like mine leader

28:54 Listen to it talk about the most important person in the room my leader mine leader, but what it sounds It was just me. The person I'm so glad is in the White House Michelle Obama You take care of that garden while you can because in 18 months, you know bills turning that thing into an above-ground pool So I had actually expected you to have a couple of Your favorite jokes in there, but you were yeah I actually wasn't attracted to the event enough to obviously I could have registered Years and for the most years. I record the whole thing and then I try to run through it as if there's anything good But I don't know what it was but I just did not have any desire It was rough. Oh, it was rough to watch him. Yeah, it was like watching an okay comedy show by

Michelle Obama Zac Posen Gown Analysis

The discussion includes a brief mention of the color guard and national anthem proceedings at the event.

29:47 Russell Simmons or something. But forget all that! The only thing that really matters, THAT dress Michelle Obama was wearing... I mean this was a Zak Posen custom beaded gown perfectly accentuated with just the right shade of plum lipstick perfect curls I have to tell you this dress she had on was so cleverly made. It sloped up her neckline, so it completely obfuscated the fact that she's a dude! It was really cool! You have to look at the pictures and see what i'm talking about... Perfectly done! Okay let me look- Let me look her up. Mmhmm. It's the Zac Posen custom beaded- Smartly perfection says the headline. Look at that- Look at the way then the neckline

30:37 is sloped upwards. It's not even touching her skin because it withholding the view and it gives you a sculptured view of her body type which is really Very like there's a picture of the three of our four people all putting their hands over I guess they did play out where they played national anthem before this event. Yeah, they always had the color guard towering over these these bald guys oh yeah Uh-huh well i've said what I have to say about that now throughout the show Have you ever heard of?

Jason Rezaian Detention and Iranian Nuclear Deal

The detention of Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian in Iran was a central theme at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Rezaian, an Iranian-American, has been held since July on charges of propaganda and espionage. Speculation suggests his eventual release may be leveraged as a symbolic victory during the finalization of the Iranian nuclear deal.

jason rezaian· washington post· iran· espionage· diplomatic negotiations

31:17 Jason Razian. Not the way you're pronouncing it, probably not anyway. Well no one could really pronounce it last night but there was a big push from the awards all the way through to the president and there were pins... This is a Washington Post correspondent who's been detained in Iran since July. Oh yeah that guy! Yeah I know him. Well he was- I mean I don't know him, I know them. And his wife Yegi Yeah, he's a Washington right. He's the guy that they consider to be a spy probably is but it's beside the point they have no right. Well He's being held for propaganda etc. By the way, he holds two passports US and Iranian That's because he's Iranian Yes so you know there's

32:03 That may be part of the reason why they're not giving him back. But it was just so blatantly set up right down to the pins and every single person talked about it that I'm saying this is going to be the feather in the president's cap when he negotiates his release from the Iranians as a part of the Iranian deal. It's not gonna be much of a feather? Well, the press corps will think it's a feather because it's one of theirs you see...it's one of their's. No, I think he's still down one chopped head And then of course, speaking of the president apologized for the drone strike which killed an economic hitman. Yeah there was an interesting thing we were watching sorry watching uh The News Hour I was watching with Eric and i actually made him look at this so there's a they news hour has got this new gimmick they do They do a story and then they flash a screen of text that has some sort of um

CHAPTER 11 / 39 Discussion

Warren Weinstein Drone Strike and Economic Hitmen

President Obama issued an apology for a drone strike that accidentally killed American hostage Warren Weinstein and Italian hostage Giovanni Lo Porto. Weinstein was a business development expert working for J.E. Austin Associates under a USAID contract in Pakistan. The discussion characterizes Weinstein's role as that of an "economic hitman" and questions the intelligence failures leading to the strike.

33:09 obscure information. And it's always kind of interesting." And so out of the blue, they flashed this screen of text that says the first drone strike...and I'd like somebody to check this out. It's questionable. The first drone strike that we ever did was in 2002 in Yemen where we accidentally killed an American I've never heard anything about that either. And maybe get us to just forget about the fact that Obama gave the orders to kill a 16-year old American kid sipping coffee at a cafe. Or variously, depending on who tells this story being at some sort of barbecue with a bunch of friends and family

34:03 So let's have a bunch of other things. Oh no, well yeah... so there was a bunch of Americans that were killed while the 16 year old was just one of them and I think he's... And there is some reporting on drone strikes being pulled back they're gonna be called There are not going to be as many anymore and all the rest of it. I think he's trying again legacy Oh, it's all about legacy. Yeah he sees me that the next year until the next election All Obama is gonna be doing his backtracking on everything to prove his legacy dr Weinstein who was droned with hellfire was employed by J.E. Austin Associates, Virginia-based strategy and management consulting firm for the development of emerging and developing economies." That's economic hitmen written all over it if anyone has read the book. And on the firm's website he is described as a quote business development expert based in Pakistan Dr Weinstein was under contract buy and presumably paid by USAID

35:08 Yeah, economic hitman. And you know what? It comes with the turf but it was a pretty big apology and I got a clip from Jeh Johnson who was asked about this now Juh sometimes pronounced as jay but we say jeh, J-E-H, Jeh Johnson tool of the industry the trigger man the man who used to sit in the pentagon and say yes legally you can kill that human being And he was asked about this unfortunate accident. This is not the Judd Johnson we know. Our targeted use of lethal force, when circumstances warrant has very definitely contributed to our national security and the death of other people, our homeland security. Oh yes, we're safe! Regrettably in armed conflict in the use of lethal force

36:04 We hit unintended What should we call them John unintended? Consequences We hit unintended consequences now. What are those things called? human beings the things that rip apart and bleed and just turn into people yeah people objects objects I'm sorry it's objects Human beings oh human beings are objects what is that object its an object don't worry about a human being fat That's unfortunate. I give the president a lot of credit for getting out there on his own and taking responsibility for what happened, and expressing regret." There you go. How did this happen in the first place? Did they explain it?

36:59 How's an economic hitman in the target zone of one of these strikes where they do so much work, they claim oh we did all the research ever needed and you know it would be unlikely to kill anybody by accident. Well he was a hostage Okay so they decide to blow up the house with a hostage in it? Yeah Oops Not kill the guy somehow? Maybe The bomb? Maybe The first thing I thought is when I saw economic hitman like the guy needs to go The guy needs to go. You think this was an assassination? Sure, that's what I think Okay it goes like this then They got captured? They're gonna be tor- him?! Oh no! Wait a minute, not kill him I didn't even get the chance to be in the meeting and you've already killed him

37:49 Yeah, he knows better than to get caught like that now. He's gotta go. What a stupid moron huh? Oh well That's the danger risk of the job gets it gets paid the big bucks goodbye Bubba The big books bubba huh yeah yeah All right, good. You have great stuff I do want to tease that coming up in today's program and I have an uber sources report Oh from from Nicaragua Oh, that should be interesting. I got lucky! I think we should move it right up and go now. What you want to get the mocking in early? Is that your idea? Okay let's take a little break from this from anything serious. I've got an interesting clip as part of Ask Adam Do you need the jingle or... I'm going to do an Ask Adam right now And i want to thank, I forgot who did it now one of our producers

Amsterdam Skinny Bridge and James Bond Trivia

A segment of the 1971 James Bond film *Diamonds are Forever* features a tour guide discussing the "Skinny Bridge" (Magere Brug) in Amsterdam. The guide claims the bridge was built by two sisters who ran out of money, resulting in its narrow design. This historical explanation is scrutinized for logical consistency, suggesting the name likely derives from the bridge's physical dimensions rather than a lack of funds.

skinny bridge· amsterdam· diamonds are forever· james bond· magere brug

38:52 who said, you crazy fool. Are you a techno expert? You need to get the new search for OS X which is HudaSpot. HudaSpot and it does work very well. Alright, HudaSpot. I've got, so i'm watching a 1971 uh... I believe is when it came out. Diamonds are Forever James Bond movie with Sean Connery Yes and who sang the theme song? Was that Shirley Bassey? Exactly! Diamonds are foreverrrr Yeah she's sang couple of these Do I win? And there's an Ed, now he's running around trying to catch some guy and they're trying to catch him because you know they got a bunch of diamonds involved yeah and their going down the river I think its the Amster Is that in Holland

39:39 and Right and they're going that and then They play this is the yeah, you already have it. So they now they play this and I have to ask you some questions Is one of the oldest bridges in Amsterdam skinny bridge It was built over 300 years ago by two sisters who wanted to visit each other every day. Unfortunately, they ran out of money so that is why it is called the Skinny Bridge. On your right those beautiful old houses can be seen... Okay! I'm ready for your question Alright Now first of all this what she said was a non sequitur in my mind perhaps in the Dutch mind it's not

40:38 There's a bridge called the Skinny Bridge that two sisters tried to build across and they ran out of money, and because they ran out of money that's why it's called The Skinny Bridge. Does this make any sense to anybody? Well there is...they're missing a step is because they ran out of money, the bridge was just more like you're walking the plank, it's very skinny No cars, and it's just a skinny bridge. They didn't have enough money for a wide bridge And that's and then people said hey That's the skinny Bridge in true Dutch tradition they said you know what let's call this the skinny bridge

41:16 Is that Kate which brings out brand other point up tended the logic of this still eludes me if they started building the bridge? Would they say built it skinny and they're gonna white it after they build that makes zero sense I think you think your OCD is kicking in man, but Not such a big deal. Well, it seems to me that if they'd completed the bridge Which they kind of did there's a little piece in the middle That it would have been It would have still been skinny if they had the money to finish it. It would have still been skinny, right? I mean, I don't buy into this all we're gonna expand it later. Well... We ran out of money! I find that many tourist attractions and tours when the guide is telling you things, take it all with a grain of salt

42:06 Alright, okay. That was my question I had to know why this skinny bridge because you ran out of money So it's called a skinny bridge uh-huh maybe it was because it was skinny It's called the skinny bridges and that make more logical sense Yeah You're really obsessing over this I'm bothered by hugely all right Right they left it in the movie I'm not quite sure. I understand the point of this segment that you've brought us. I was wondering, and this was a genuine ask Adam! I wanted to know and now you're telling me that you were all in on it.

Uber Sources Report on Chinese Canal in Nicaragua

An undercover recording of a Nicaraguan Uber driver in Austin provides insights into Chinese infrastructure projects in Central America. The driver describes how the Chinese government is acquiring electric plants and land through eminent domain for a transoceanic canal project. Concerns are raised regarding the environmental impact on Lake Nicaragua and the displacement of local citizens under the Ortega administration.

42:52 For another one of our uber sources. Now this is completely against all rules of journalism, I do not... it's a hidden recording, hidden microphone on my iPhone, I do not ask for permission and i just broadcasted And I was thinking what so bad? Doesn't Dateline do that all the time to catch a predator? What is the illegal part if you're doing it if you broadcast it? Well I'm thinking about this. You thought we don't need trouble as what I was thinking Well, that's one of the things I was thinking while I was thinking about it. All right? Uh...I Since this is anonymous You do never you never identify the guy said from some nationality which could be bullcrap by the way Yeah, yeah could be from oh there's no background. I have notes now. No you don't know you the guy could be a phone Wait wait here's how it goes hold on second Yes, is that no agenda fact-checking department is um hmm the uber driver there see

43:49 I just want to check and make sure you're actually from Nicaragua. C. And, uh... Okay thanks a lot! C. We're good to go? Good to go?! C. So you were thinking about it and in between pondering why they call it the- This is anonymous because of this segment I think you could make the argument that we never really recorded this was all done by local actors that you're good to go. It's just a phony segment of the show." That's what I'd make that argument, and he can get away with it. There is no proof that you actually did any of this? There is no proof then there are no complaints so far. Now this was maybe a double whammy and I'm on Congress Avenue

44:38 and I had to send some FedEx stuff off. So, up on the corner in front of the FedEx and here comes my Uber... And boy am i glad I took uber because you can't park anywhere on a Friday or Saturday and it's Congress! Here comes my uber and so the uber driver pulls over and on congress...I don't believe it's demarked as such yet but we have bicyclists and other two-wheel vehicles driving on what will in the future be the bike lane. And so the driver pulls over and I get ready to get in, and two guys on a scooter who...I guess were behind the car or whatever but it wasn't like this- the car cut them off just the car pulled over and then these guys are yelling at me saying,

45:32 You know, like you're not even allowed to pick someone up or to pull over for a second. So I this time instead of... They were on a motorized scooter? Or a scooter? Or push thing? Motorized scooter! Like a Vespa type scooter. They were on a Vespa bitching?! Yeah!! Get it in a finger. Well, so I was already recording thinking you know... ...I'd like to see if i can get some of the preamble before I figure out who somebody is may be interesting and I lucked out because this all happened while I was getting into the car There is there's your podcast hero right there like fuck you not too loud. I'm gonna come beat me up Give me a break where are you from? You're not from here? No, I am not By the way

46:31 Her name is Sally. Our actress's name is Sally." Why would you assume she was from Russia? I was just listening to the accent, and I heard a kind of New York twang for a second there and then as she was talking I thought maybe Russia...I'll tell you why because sitting right rear seat, she's left front And I'm thinking, she's smoking hot! This is my day. Win win win win win! Ukraine? Nope. I think she might be one of those hot Ukraine girls but she had dark hair so i knew i couldn't be right but it was the accent i couldn't quite place it Ukraine? Nope. Am I warm? Nope! Okay, you have to say something now mom... Okay you gotta go south from here. Now she's like okay. You could've said that you missed an opportunity and she says am i warm or no. You should've said well your hot. A total douchebag. No I didn't want to douchebag it immediately. By the

47:31 By the way, these ubersources segments are purely informational and for entertainment purposes. And it's also just to learn about the popular... It's not like she's an actual spy — she may be a handler — but I'm just curious how people from different countries are thinking about political and world geopolitical events that we discuss on this show? So when you hear someone is from Nicaragua what is the first thing you're going to say John? How's the canal doing? That's easy! Well, you'll never guess from where. South from Texas you gotta go? Yes From South America? Nope Central You're gonna have to just tell me because I'm out of ideas now. Usually people immediately when i say Central America they go, oh Costa Rica! No, I'm from Nicaragua. Nicaragua? Yes Wow hey how about those Chinese building that channel? Is that messed up or what? Am I smooth or what?! This is how you do it all KnowAgenda producers should be doing this the minute you throw something like that and her head actually spun around and she's looking in the rear view wow you know about that about the canal but

48:35 You know, I don't know. I have to read more about it to be honest but you know what? It seems like the country is just giving everything away to the Chinese Like give it away already! They have been for years What else are they being given away? Electricity The plants, electric plants are owned by China now I'm like why well they got all of Africa so they might as well start moving into other places I just you know and then you go with, you know factories and it's like little by little They've just been getting rid of at all. All bits and pieces. I thought that was interesting. I didn't know about the electricity

49:17 The Chinese, their model is to get a hold of or build plants. Totally. Electrical stuff that they can use and build roads that they can use and then put up little towns for them. And there's extra electricity so it probably benefits the locals I'm sure Yeah, they seem real happy about the M. About the eminent domain that's going on just Randomly complaining she's not like like that nutcase you had from Haiti who was bitching and moaning Well, now she talks about her brother. I think he bought like maybe 50 acres. It's hard to hear her brother bought land 70 acres and all of a sudden he gets a letter saying oh by the way you don't own this land because what do you mean? He went back and said i'm gonna go with my paperwork

50:13 And he's a citizen, we're citizens here. So what he did is to went to the American embassy and he went back to the Nicaraguan Embassy and says you will not do what you did back in the 90s to people where your land is ours, your house is ours. Right, eminent domain or whatever it's called. Exactly! So? And? And so far so good Okay... and he says I won't fight until I die you know It's his land But they want for some Chinese project Probably Yeah So the eminent domain thing is going on again which is kind of a cycle for them and this is all Ortega is still president and we talked about him for little bit but yeah I find Nicaragua to be interesting

50:56 We made number one country in Central America to go visit. Really? Yes, it's great for scuba diving. Number one country in Central America to go visit for tourism Scuba diving and surfing. I didn't know this. I didn't know this. I question it And apparently Chinese restaurants Why don't you people learn He was the one that really turned the country upside down. I do have to thank him for turning it so upside down, my mother said you know what we're moving we're getting out of here and we will not be here. So that was the plus there

51:47 The pluses drove them out. Drove them out of the country! Now, the last time I saw a report on that canal and the problems it's going to cause including going into that big giant lake in the middle of the country with all these ships which will pollute... That's their drinking water, that big lake Yeah And so this got a bunch of smoking ships dropping oil and the rest of it into the drinking waters is not gonna be good but the last time when I see a report Nicaragua is the poorest of all the countries in Central America. And so this Chinese event is supposed to bring up the standard of living and that... And it appears it's more than just an event, I mean they're really going... They're following their model as you pointed out. They get the electrical plants, get all the industry... Infrastructure roads. ...infrastructure. So I felt she really didn't have a lot of information on

Uber Driver Economics and Passenger Interactions

A conversation with an Austin-based Uber driver reveals the daily financial struggles of rideshare workers, with the driver reporting earnings of less than $100 for a full day's work. The discussion covers the safety concerns of working after midnight and the "Uber Select" clientele. The segment concludes with a host handing out a promotional "No Agenda" disc and business card to the driver.

52:44 Much more for me on Nicaragua. So just as you know, just for our own little jollies I figured I'd ask her about driving for Uber. Here's a good-looking woman, she said she had a daughter who was 17 something... She was in her 30s, I guess and she loves it! As she came to Austin there were supposed to be some other gig for her some job and that fell through then her ex husband said well you know why don't you go drive for uber they're opening up in two weeks? And she did and she loves it at least to an extent. I signed up two and half weeks later I was driving You like it? I never in a million years thought that i would be driving for a living. Isn't that crazy? Because this is what I do and you know what, I enjoy it! Well you're uber select so... It's an different clientele. You probably also don't pick up on Saturday night on 6th.

53:39 This week has been brutal. I'm not kidding today, I haven't even made and I started at 1030. I've been doing it me you're gonna laugh but i haven't even made 100 bucks $100 she's in this is five in the afternoon a hundred hundred bucks this is not so good I'm not laughing very sad for you when to get big tips well yes and I betcha you tipped her big yeah you don't tip with uber Oh, that's right. Don't do that if my then my theory is out the window never mind But I had another ploy which is coming up first. We'll just finish about her driving after midnight Shockingly

54:18 So I'm debating whether I should work after 11. So, I haven't done the after the bars close." I don't think... you probably don't want to do it. I really don't and I am so debating at this point because this week is just gonna be so bad for me! Two things nothing good happens after midnight. Ah some Nicaraguan wisdom right there Nothing good happens after midnight? I agree with that. I truly believe that. I'll fight till death believe me They all fight to the death there in Nicaragua. Yeah, they like to fight to the death. You Nicaraguans fight a lot to the death don't you? Yes! I know but still i dont want anyone throwing up in my car Exactly That's what happens. The punchline So then of course here is how you do it Here is-here am slick Mr Slick

55:07 Watch this move. You have a card because then yes, I do When I need a car just call you will do the trick Hey well you got a nice car you're very nice Thank you. Thank you my name is Adam Okay, I got the big the big question Am i smooth or what? Okay, Mr. Smooth did you give her a disc? Yes and wait ah And I gave her one of those slick new no agenda Vista print cards with no agenda on one side and the QR code on the other

56:00 Okay, I'm sorry. I even thought that well she didn't say anything Well she didn't say anything to you because i was always...I was going to be under the complete assumption You had again failed to hand out a disc when you had the opportunity. I handed out the disc She looked at it and then looked at the card and went ah okay? I don't think she has a CD player She has a cD player. I don't have me. I don't have a cD player Well, she's just got one in the car. No modern cars. I don't think that is an option now I don't think they all have CD players. Anyway, so we learned a little bit from our Uber experience. But it was enjoyable and with that i'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C where the c stands for the canal in Nicaragua Dvorak

Clinton Foundation Uranium One Scandal and Tax Refiling

The Clinton Foundation is facing scrutiny over the sale of Uranium One to Russia's Atomic Energy Agency, which gave Russia control of 20% of U.S. uranium reserves. Reports indicate that owners of the company donated millions to the foundation while the State Department, led by Hillary Clinton, reviewed the deal. Additionally, the foundation is refiling five years of tax forms due to failures in disclosing foreign government donations.

1:07:39 Like a spring cleaning or something. If you're reading this, you're still my friend? Yeah. Why don't you send the note to the other people?! You're not my friend anymore, Joe! You can't do that after you've unfriended them... they won't see it. Oh. Sorry. My ex has completely blocked me from Twitter- uh, from Facebook. Well that's shameful. That's kind of sad. Well let's see what would you like I got two things on. I got a little Hillary Because of course there's a scandal going on. Yeah, now these scandals I do want to remind everybody and see lots of tweets about it when it comes to the Clintons having to resubmit their taxes and with that I mean the form 990 for the IRS for the Clinton Foundation this is something we've been on four years in fact when the money for Haiti was being funneled through the Clinton Foundation

1:08:37 As well as that big one in Texas, I can't remember it was for the Bushes maintain that one. They were so late with their Form 990, they were beyond the October 16th deadline. And of course he never ever found any money and there's just all kinds of stuff going on that... Sketchy! But it's also stuff we've looked at, we've laughed at, we've scoffed and now the mainstream media is going oh look at this my god I'm shocked, I'm shocked there are all kinds of shenanigans going on in there Well, it's becoming an interesting story because she was supposed to... just in a nutshell. I think it may have the nutshell clip here. Backgrounder? Backgrounder yeah that's it. Not the Armenian background the other one Let me just double check Yeah Hillary won. Hillary won backf-

1:09:30 Two news reports out today are raising questions about Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. The New York Times reported a company now known as Uranium One sought approval to sell control of the company to Russia's Atomic Energy Agency. The owners of that company donated $2.35 million dollars to the Clinton Foundation, the State Department headed by Hillary Clinton at the time signed off on the sale Also today, Reuters reported the Clinton Foundation and another family charity are refiling at least five annual tax forms due to errors. The foundation failed to include tens of millions of dollars in donations from foreign governments Spokespeople for Clinton and the Clinton Foundation insist there is no wrongdoing

1:10:20 No, there's no wrong. Don't look over here! Nothing to see here... Look at that! Play Clinton too and we'll get a little deeper into it Okay, Clinton It's on the other list I'm shocked, shocked to find that tax evasion is going on here Well we're joined now by New York Times Washington Bureau Chief and its political editor Carolyn Ryan And Reuters reporter Jonathan Allen who broke the story And we welcome both of you... Broke the story? Let me go read some form 990. I have to clarify what that means. The story he broke is that they're refiling all the forms

1:11:03 The other one, she's got the big story. The woman who by the way when they started playing us oh this is a Hillary one This is she's gonna be defending her but no they would New York Times it is one of the group I think there's just concerted effort to derail Hillary's campaign and I think New York Times as part of it. I completely agree I'm seeing the same thing then even last night at the dinner they were making all kinds of jokes about Hillary I shall be president right after Israel donates to the Clinton Foundation. Good joke! And its political editor, Carolyn Ryan and Reuters reporter Jonathan Allen who broke the story and we welcome both of you. Carolyn Ryan let me start with you The New York Times story today does describe a Canadian...a wealthy Canadian businessman he's the chairman

1:11:50 of this company that owns significant uranium mining interests in the United States. He also happens to be making huge, large donations to the Clinton Foundation's and then it turns to move by the Russian Atomic Energy Agency to buy controlling interest in that company. Fill us in from there Well, the nub—essentially the ethical issue here is that this panel, U.S. government panel was overseeing and had to sign off on this deal. And the donations that you speak of were not disclosed by the Clintons as they agreed to do, as part of the agreement that they set up with the Obama administration when Mrs. Clinton became Secretary of State. So it was multi-million dollar contributions that were not disclosed leading up to this key vote on whether this deal could go through

1:12:47 And what is the Clinton campaign, what is the Clinton Foundation saying? We do have one statement that I guess they put out late this afternoon with regard to the Russian effort which was successful to buy a controlling interest in this company. It said Hillary Clinton herself did not participate in the review or direct the State Department to take any position on the sale of Uranium One, this company. Is that pretty much all they've said? been some of their answers have been quite general and they haven't answered a lot of our direct questions. This panel is one of the few in the United States government, in the federal government that is actually exempt from public records so we're not able to get any notes or minutes of these. Which which panel was that? I don't know some panel competitive

1:13:37 thing, when there's someone...foreign companies gonna take over an American company I guess. It has some panel that looks at it and says yes okay but it's directed by the State Department Hillary says nothing has happened just a coincidence that the guy who owned the company and wanted to sell it to the Russians was throwing money at The Clinton Foundation. Coincidence! And what the Russian bought by the way this makes us interesting they bought the Russians bought 20% of our American uranium reserves yeah Well, this is how it goes. Coincidence? I think not! One of our direct questions—this panel is one of the few in the United States government and the federal government that is actually exempt from public records, so we're not able to get any notes or minutes of these proceedings and we don't know a lot about the deliberations on the panel. So they have—they have not provided us with a lot of information

CHAPTER 17 / 39 Discussion

Peter Schweizer and Clinton Cash Book Investigation

Author Peter Schweizer's upcoming book, *Clinton Cash*, is identified as the source for recent mainstream media investigations into the Clinton family's finances. The New York Times confirmed they used Schweizer's research as a "tip sheet" for their own reporting. Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute, has a history of investigating political corruption and foreign influence in U.S. elections.

peter schweizer· clinton cash· investigative reporting· new york times· government accountability institute

1:14:30 about what went on within the State Department about that. So this kind of reporting you rarely see from American journalists, in fact I...this is the kind of thing you see on...what is that blog? That Russian blog The Seeker? Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah it's like this is borderline RT stuff This kind of thing, they just don't do that kind of research. So this is a setup I think. Well, I believe there's something to it whatever the case we have and i said it again and we have Judy Woodruff here trying deciding to sink the thing. And this is clip four, I'm going to skip clip three. Wait a minute, Judy Woodruff is trying to sink the story to protect Hillary? That's my guess if and when I give you that evidence of how I feel this way. Okay. She brings up now... This whole thing actually didn't begin with The New York Times, you wouldn't think

1:15:23 It began with this book that hasn't really been released yet by this guy. He's a conservative riot reporter, very good investigative reporter everybody thinks he knows what he is doing and it's not like a phony. Is he from the Times? No no I don't know where he is from but he is legit as all I can tell you except that guy wrote George Bush family books. It's not him, but it's a guy like him. Oh like Russ Baker you mean? Baker yeah so this guy Schindler they name him in the clip But the woman from The New York Times names him Judy doesn't name him which I found suspicious she would say she asked the question...I'm gonna tell you how this goes so you can hear without having to analyze it

1:16:08 Judy says, well isn't this all because of that conservative writer? And she emphasizes the word conservative when this guy's a book writer. He's an investigative reporter She doesn't say investigative reporters she calls conservative writers though There's an agenda with it not even naming the guy because you know in the meeting they said oh Don't name him then people can look him up and they might buy his book we can't do that Peter Schweitzer Schweitzer. She won't name him, she says he's a conservative right and she throws this question and she says isn't this just from that guy? And the woman from The New York Times rightly says well here's what happened the guy's book yes we looked at the book and we said we looked in the book because he had all kinds of leads that we could follow and use those leads and then she continues with...and in fact that book

1:16:54 was derived from an original New York Times story in 2008. So it was the New York Times who gave the book writer the idea and then the book writer had a bunch of leads that they could use in their story, and Judy just didn't say anything after that." It's called Clinton Cash The Book very no agenda title Peter Schweitzer is the guy's name I think...it's not out yet I guess this is all perfect Perfect promotion if someone would mention your name and the book I want to come back to you quickly Carol and Ryan a part of The New York Times story today it did say that some of the information in the piece was based on reporting done by a Conservative writer who's come out with a new book about the Clintons How much of The New York Times reporting was dependent on that?

1:17:42 I would characterize that book as really almost a tip sheet or reporting leads. The two reporters at the Times who got involved in this—we have Joe Becker, who's a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mike McIntyre, a Pulitzer finalist just this week—and They did dozens of interviews. They gathered a lot of records, and so they really went deep—this is very intricate and difficult reporting tracing this money—and they really did a lot of original reporting. And I would just note that this whole story began actually in 2008 with the story that Joe Becker did about the Kazakhstan uranium deal. So, Peter Schweitzer, the author, the conservative author was sort of following Joe Becker.

1:18:25 So this guy is interesting. Peter Franz Schweitzer, American author academic and political consultant currently the president of the Government Accountability Institute what is that? Yeah we gotta look it up while you're reading yeah then look at the board of directors while you're at it he's a former William J Casey research fellow with the Hoover Institution Also a Breitbart News senior editor at large, which is where he really makes some cash. His bibliography interesting here's some of the books he has written since 1992 Friendly Spies How Americans Allies Are Using Economic Espionage to Steal Our Secrets Victory The Reagan Administration Secret Strategy That Hastened the Collapse of the Soviet Union

1:19:14 Well, this guy should know all about what's going on now. The next war which he wrote with Caspar Weinberger Disney the mouse betrayed greed corruption and children at risk well that's gonna be that's almost as good as my pipelines and pedophiles Yeah it's a goodie Reagan's War the epic story of his 40-year struggle in final triumph over communism The Bushes A Portrait Of A Dynasty co-authored with Rochelle Schweitzer, maybe his wife. Do as I say not as I do profiles in liberal hypocrisy chain of command again with Caspar Weinberger makers and tears and makers and takers why conservatives work harder feel happier have closer families take fewer drugs give more generously value honesty more are less materialistic envious whine less than even hug their children more than liberals yeah i would say he's a conservative author

1:20:03 Architects of Ruin, how a gang of radical activists and liberal politicians destroyed trillions in wealth in pursuit of social justice. I'd like to read that one. Throw Them All Out, how politicians and their friends get rich off insider stock tips? This guy has no agenda! Land Deals Cronyism... That would send the rest of us to prison. That was 2011. Extortion, How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes & Line Their Own Pockets And then finally Clinton Cash The Untold Story Of How & Why Foreign Governments & Businesses Help Make Bill & Hillary Rich Yeah, this is a good timing. His operation the Government Accountability Institute is not a pack of bull crap in the back it's basically him and a few other guys setting up shop as a place to receive tips

1:20:55 for eventual news stories It's asking for whistleblowers. This seems to be all is really doing let's see they send your tips here And I click on it saying whether they're using patreon and no there's they want if they want tips according to the book of knowledge in July 2014 They reported the 1 billion dollars in school lunches thrown away each year December 2013 analysis See, Obama's public schedule shows zero one-on-one meetings between Obama and then Secretary of Human Health Services Kathleen Sebelius. So taking down Obamacare... And 2012 released a report claiming the Obama campaign had been illegally soliciting foreign donations which is true credit card donations from overseas big ones.

Bill Clinton Health Concerns and Pumphead Syndrome

Observations of Bill Clinton's recent public appearances suggest a decline in physical health, noted by visible hand tremors and cognitive pauses. A medical theory is presented citing "pumphead," a form of brain damage caused by heart-lung machines during bypass surgery. The condition involves micro-emboli clogging capillaries, potentially leading to permanent mental and emotional decline.

bill clinton· heart surgery· pumphead· brain damage· health

1:21:45 Well, this sounds like a book I want to read. Although it's not like i'm going to be so surprised and quite honestly I'm very sad about this because you know what all this means with this takedown stuff? There is only one thing that can stop a full-blown media audit of the Clinton Foundation finances. It's only one thing. Two to the head? Yep! Bill has gotta go Oh yeah, well done. So I'm watching Bill he was talking to i think at George Washington University or Georgetown one of the two and it was on C-SPAN I did watch this much uh and he is talking... He's a great speaker I have to say! I mean he really has their honest enthrallment you see all these old middle aged women

1:22:30 in the audience. Their panties are all in a bunch! They're staring up at him like this, Jesus Christ and they're holding their hands together and they're kind of a ball and very slowly you know moving their hands like oh my god... Did I ever tell you the story about Patricia and Bill Clinton? My first wife Patricia? No but we can take a break from my tale and just from yeah we were in the Waldorf Astoria in New York. I can't remember what it was for, we were in New York for a couple days although we were living in Europe at the time and her bridge...in her mouth had broken or come loose she needed to go get some glue! This is a great story and it was really like a big gap you know on the like your front teeth and then one two three over so not a pretty sight

1:23:21 So she, and I think we were doing the show. This is why i'm so sure we talked about this years and years ago. We do stuff I don't remember either! She goes down she comes back up and she's like oh my god you know what just happened? So what? So got in the elevator and it was Bill Clinton and two Secret Service guys And Bill was looking down, and she's 5'3", and Bill is well over 6 feet. He's going, hey little lady! He was totally hitting on her, and then she goes hiiii! And she smiles but forgot you never bridge in this big gap to the high and anyone story could have been better yeah it could it could have been better but that's all I got that's funny

1:24:04 Well, I'm watching him speak. He's skinny as a rail and he just looks bad and his left hand is shaking like a leaf. He's not a nervous guy. Remind me that I have something to say about this. And I would suggest that he is getting something...I think...and has long pauses where he's... Okay then, I have to tell you now. I've researched this and figured out what this may be And I think we have to play a quick eight seconds of the last time, which was Thursday when he said something goofy. ISIS is a terrorist organization and NGO. So Dr John McDougal MD wrote a piece and he says, We need to understand and show some compassion for Bill Clinton

1:24:53 He is suffering, according to this doctor from a consequence of heart bypass surgery and it has a name. It's called pump head p-u-m-p pump head brain damage during bypass surgery is so common hospital personnel refer to it as pumphead I think we just call him Pumphead all the time. The primary cause is emboli produced during surgery from clamping the aorta from the heart-lung machine, this machine pumps blood to keep the patient alive while the heart is stopped during operation unfortunately this pump also introduces toxic gases fat globules and bits of plastic debris into... they should stop that! ...into the bloodstream of the patient under anesthesia once they're in the bloodstream these particles migrate to the brain where they can clog

1:25:41 capillaries, and prevent adequate amounts of blood and oxygen from flowing to the brain. All patients experience brain emboli during surgery but for many the damage is permanent." And what this looks like is they say mental emotional decline... confusion? This sounds like a spot-on analysis to me! Well, we're seeing some evidence of it for sure. But the shaking I don't know if that's part of this but he's got his left hand is shaking noticeably. I'm sure nurse Tracey is going to check in a minute she'll tell me what's going on

1:26:26 And I just was kind of taken aback by it. He uses his left hand as a... for points of emphasis, and he will commonly hold it steady outward like a lefthanded handshake. Oh right. Sad. And its shaking which makes me wonder if what's going on with this guy? We'll see but I don't know. I have mixed feelings about going on about this potential of him being murdered." Why? I don't know, it's just morbid. Well it is very morbid but it's a Red Book entry and come on the Clintons have killed so many of their friends... Might as well kill each other! In a duel to the death What would be interesting in this scenario is that Bill killed her first

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Prison Investments

A critique of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation highlights its status as a major stakeholder in the Corrections Corporation of America, a private prison operator. While the foundation publicly focuses on global health and equality, its investment portfolio includes for-profit incarceration. The commentary suggests a disconnect between the foundation's humanitarian rhetoric and its financial backing of the prison industry.

bill gates· gates foundation· corrections corporation of america· private prisons· philanthropy

1:27:17 Oh, man. You imagine what happened to Hillary? Oh I don't know unfortunate she fell off the balcony So do you have a clip of him or no there's nothing this clip it was just it was a very good speech Making a lot of you know classic liberal points about why think oh I do actually do have a clip of him talking about Bill Gates uh-huh because he was just like when he's talking about the better people that are Doing this is that the clip is the Clinton, he's talking about all these great leaders and how their vision is singular and simple and all the rest of it. And by the way...and as he was talking through this clip—this is Clinton in The Gates Foundation clip—as he's talking think one thing only, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has one of the largest stakeholders in the Correction Corporation of America where they hold prisoners for profit.

1:28:15 I'll give you another example. Bill and Melinda Gates, they have a simple... No stop go back to that beginning and listen to what he says i'll give you another example then you hear his mouth is got some it's got some sort but it's like saliva muddy goo in his mouth and throughout his speech you kept hearing I can't even make the noise the way he does. Yeah, it's those white strings that are in the corner of his mouth. Stringy... gooey... crappy... spit em'. And the corners of his mouth is probably dark with like residue. Theater of the mind ladies and gentlemen it's what we do! And give you another example. Oh thats his mouth? Yes! Almost sounds like a script crackling

1:29:06 Bill and Melinda Gates, they have a simple vision. Their vision is that every life has equal value and therefore we should create a world where people have equal chances That's their vision, it's simple Now that visions to kill people They have the strategy We got a lot of money And were gonna invest in to achieve that vision But we're gonna invest it through people who do things that we can't do. That's right We don't want to hire a hundred thousand people to implement all these things we fund No, no, we wanna kill them So for example Melinda Gates and

1:29:50 Hillary recently announced before she left the foundation that they were gonna, all this data research they've done on the condition of women and the disparities in conditions of women and men in United States around the world. He needs to change the pH balance of his oral orifice something, he needs to drink something just wash his mouth out. Whatever the case and he did throughout that you could hear it. Yeah they see what they want equality in all prisons and they want to imprison most of the men and women and then we get an equal footing in the prison I don't know what what he's talking about I thought their main thing was improve health care for them

CHAPTER 20 / 39 Discussion

Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger Eugenics

A plan is devised to confront Planned Parenthood activists in Austin regarding the history of founder Margaret Sanger. The discussion focuses on Sanger's ties to the eugenics movement and the sterilization of individuals in the early 20th century. The goal is to challenge the historical knowledge of modern volunteers regarding the organization's origins.

planned parenthood· margaret sanger· eugenics· austin· activism

1:30:31 for Africans. They wanted malaria and now it's prisons. This is the robber barons, this is the same thing we're fabulously wealthy and we're going to go make the world a better place everybody but really just making it better for us you know reminding that reminds me when I walk to not U2 when I walked to Joe's coffee here which is old-school Austin kind of cafeteria yeah coffee sandwiches alcohol There's always, right by the Violet Crown Theater outside... there are always two people from Planned Parenthood. And you know I always have a spiffy answer but they tricked me yesterday! They saw me coming and yeah so I have to go back... they're almost every single day so i'm going to do the following after explaining it. So Walker says how about Nicolas Cage?

1:31:28 That's his opening line. And I was taken aback and said, I save plenty of children thank you very much but the next time i'm going to interview them and ask if they know who Margaret Sanger is. Get into the eugenics thing with them. Okay! This would be good Yeah, I am really excited about it so as I was eating my sandwich I thought that's what I gotta do Do you know Margaret Sanger? I betcha they don't I bet you they do. Oh yeah? Here we go, another one of these bets we make! Which i usually win You DO...you usually win. You win a lot of these bets it's very disappointing in this case I will say and I'll put it down They're gonna know who she is they're just not going to have the complete backstory Right, they won't know about eugenics Let's see if I can blow their minds

1:32:15 Blow their minds! I'm gonna try. And they're going to say to you, I can see this whole thing coming... Do you know who Margaret Sanger is? They're gonna say yes? Oh, I'll be the guy. Before Planned Parenthood she was the director of the Eugenics Society of America Do you know what eugenics stands for? Do you know what that is, do you know the Eugenic Society did? You know they sterilized a black man in California. This is exaggerated and right-wingers throw at us all the time...you're like the fifth guy today! Okay we know this story has been told to us a million times so what do you have to add to this conversation whoever you are? And that's where I take a twist okay and that's where

CHAPTER 21 / 39 Discussion

Bruce Jenner Transition and Media Orchestration

The televised interview between Bruce Jenner and Diane Sawyer is analyzed as a highly orchestrated media event. Jenner's revelation of being a Republican caused visible confusion for Sawyer, challenging media stereotypes. The discussion explores the "patronizing" nature of the ABC broadcast and suggests the transition is being used to popularize non-reproductive lifestyles as a form of soft population control.

bruce jenner· diane sawyer· transgender· abc news· republican

1:33:02 The Bruce Jenner transition coming out is a genius move. And I'll tell you why, because we know the elites of the world want less people no matter what we hear the United Nations head honcho woman, that's an official title of climate. She is above the IPCC organization saying we have to balance it but we definitely need less human beings. Less people! And I would say I hear many complete liberals in Austin who say well you know really? We just need less people these are usually people who have no kids by the way

1:33:46 And this Bruce Jenner thing, I am so all for it because look they want to have less people in the world and they could go kill us with vaccines and chemtrails. But why not just let the 30% of Americans who have gender or sexuality identity issues just let them all be gay? Everybody's happy! Everybody gets off no kids are born it achieves the same thing. I think its a good thirty maybe even thirty-five forty percent who will choose an alternative lifestyle and are being encouraged to do so, encouraged to get in touch with their feelings. And I believe this Bruce Jenner which

1:34:24 I thought was fantastic. I watched it with Christina, which is relevant. I thought it was fantastic. It was completely orchestrated ABC with Good Morning America the next day or the next Good Morning America would be the exclusive interview and of course there will be another event and that event will be when we finally are at when it is unveiled to us what her name will be and what she will be looking like And of course the reality TV show which he hinted in a semi-announcement. It's called The Documentary. He's been working with the Kardashians long enough, he now knows how to do it and he figures he is going to make a fortune. Oh yeah! He has got a book coming out which was plugged on the show and then he obviously made her commit to bringing him back on in one year for further promotion of the reality show... For season two?

1:35:15 Yeah, for season two. Season two starts this week. This is the biggest scam I've ever seen now so i recorded lots of it and I said...I only came up with then this pulled back from actually because you actually brought in the point she just made is good enough but I pulled back but there was a couple of clips I still had to throw out okay because I thought they were interesting clips This is the great interviewer Diane Sawyer asking some poignant questions. Do you think she was drunk? No, no that would have made it better It would have been but there was bad enough now play these three clips You're gonna see what I'm talking about this is like I have two Jenner threes played Jenner 3 the dad Okay

1:36:01 And what about the man sitting next to his mother at the Olympics? Who's his dad, The Athlete. The war veteran Omaha Beach 5th Battalion He died 14 years ago I had asked Jenner about him back in Los Angeles What would your dad say if he were still here? So that was that, that was a beauty. That wasn't a beauty? And then we have this one This is the other General Three The song question Another great interview technique So you can re-emerge As myself How simple is that Isn't that great Do you have a song That you play over and over again in your head In this moment Oh boy

1:36:53 Yeah, and it was she's a lady. Whoa! Now the song...why would anybody? Is Diane Sorren Roman around town singing songs to herself at that time? I believe with the way I saw it is in a certain point she says if you were me what question would you ask that is this that is the side of an interviewer who was out of ideas and is not getting what she wants She wanted something else Then I thought there's one last little clip The shameless joke clip That this was the mockery, the self-mockery of the whole interview and the whole situation. And it was... I believe it was sexist? It had everything wrong with it and it was insulting!

1:37:38 And I didn't even care about any of this. I thought this was like a guy, you know who cares? I don't care about Bruce Jenner and what he wants to do if he wants to live as a woman or not But this-I thought this was very-I thought this was subtly kind of sick and insulting As we leave you tonight, we hope that we can all talk together about how to try and understand each other. And we wanted you know so many people who have known Bruce Jenner sent us messages His Olympic teammates on the decathlon said they wish him well and will always count him as a friend. And Nikolai Avinov, the Soviet athlete he defeated at the Olympics said to us that he has no problem with how Bruce wants to live his life

1:38:21 How could I have lost to a woman? I Snorted She did that last show too. You're snorting now Yeah, I gotta stop yes Well there was the thing I pulled out of it which is what so I watched this with Christina and it's relevant Christina who came out a couple years ago and Her last long-term relationship was with a transgendered person so she thinks he's pretty qualified to comment on this And so the first thing she said is when she saw Jenner's sister, she said oh my god that's a Republican lesbian. She has it written all over which I thought was pretty interesting and of course this was more shocking than anything particularly to Diane Sawyer He actually was the first one to say the actual word transgender i will certainly give him credit for that but not to get political i've just never been a big fan of kind of more on the conservative side Are you republican? You're republican?! Whattttt

1:39:19 And he looks around, uh... Yeah! Hello? Are you a complete moron Diane?! Are you a complete idiot!? You didn't see this? Did-you interviewed his sister come on. Is that a bad thing? I believe in the Constitution. No, no, no! It's just... Republicans are anti-gay and her brain is smoke coming out of her ears John she couldn't figure out what to do with this. Maybe unsettling for some people in the conservative wing of the Republican Party Stereotype why don't you Yeah really, really curlain

1:39:58 Let's stereotype the Republicans. So Christina watches... Make sure you vote Democrat when Hillary runs! Christina watches with me and she said, she felt the entire thing was incredibly patronizing and I said well is that just because you already know all this stuff? And yeah you're a part of the community? She says no, no this is the way you teach people in grade school so it was so obvious-she was completely very-she loves Bruce and thanked him for his courage, but she thought the entire setup by ABC was really patronizing. Really trying to teach the stupid retarded American public something." That's why I think they had that joke at the end that I pointed out as I thought was sexist. And i'll take her word for it! Then I agree there was so much education going on about it and

1:40:47 It's like, and you know I'm with you. This is a private matter but okay whatever you want to do i don't care yeah he just wants to make bank on it because the reality show he knows what kind of money those Kardashians have made they may be...I mean he got some well let me say we're talking lots this is of course a phenomenal story this I mean I remember Bruce Jenner um in the Olympics Montreal and he was He was like Tony Stark. I mean, he was handsome. He kicked ass. It was amazing! And he embodied Americana And the other thing I'll say is, in the world in general, I believe the United States is a lot more accepting than we get credit for. We're seen as the big evil anti-gay, anti anything but the norm all... You know? We're second to Russia! Crazy nut jobs and there's only 12 or 13 states left who are yet to recognize same sex marriage. Again this is all part of it —I mean it—

CHAPTER 23 / 39 Discussion

Atrazine Chemical Effects and Gender Anomalies

Research by UC Berkeley professor Tyrone Hayes found that the weed killer Atrazine causes male frogs to develop female characteristics, including the production of eggs. The chemical, widely used on corn crops and golf courses, is identified as a potent endocrine disruptor. The segment discusses the alleged efforts by the manufacturer, Novartis (now Syngenta), to discredit Hayes and suppress his findings.

1:46:23 And he'll get it, once he's transitioned... He'll be in the dudes. That's what she said! By the way- It was kind of brought up as a- He might be really cute as a woman I'm thinking that he might be pretty good looking. I've not seen him. I'd bang him. He just looks like a Berkeley chick. Max. Little vocal fry and hey baby Meanwhile, of course we have these new studies showing that a lot of the chemicals in the environment are actually...and I think they're... Yes. Like the plastic bottles also... Well, that BPA whatever that was but the big one and I will have some clips from this. I just have never been able to clip it properly but in 2002, a Berkeley professor found that atrazine

1:47:10 turns male frogs into female frogs to the point where they actually produce eggs. And where do we find atrazine? It's one of the nation's top selling weed killers. Is it a Monsanto product? It has an effect on males, it turns males into women! Well this plays right into my theory... is this a Monsanto product? No Let's find out. It would say, what is the name of that company? It is not Ogvorbis it is Novartis. They changed their name to something else but there was a professor here at Cal who did his study and found all these anomalies because he was sent to work on them because they knew something was wrong with this stuff and as soon as he discovered all these things

1:47:54 pulled the money they've sent out a hit team to defame the poor guy and all this stuff's been going on ever since, and it's like nobody is serving the needs of the elites. And do we play this from a guy from Harvard? No, Guy From Harvard is another clip I don't have that but I'm working on getting some clips for discussion. The Guy From Harvard is a dickless guy who is because he does... He's a woman Oh, hold on a second. Wait a minute... There's nothing to hold on about! He is a woman... You said he was a dickless guy? He is a dickless guy because he IS A GUY there is no doubt about it if you see him

1:48:38 He looks like a guy and when he talks, he talks like a guy. He gesticulates like a guy. So he's transgendered from woman to man? Yes and he's decided not to... this guy hasn't gone any further. He hasn't had you know whatever they do to put it new phallus on him so he's got a vagina but if you met the guy and hung out with them you wouldn't think anything other than, I mean this is a good example of possibly you know...I think one of the better examples if it's a guy. It just happens to be in woman's body and he just decided to go on... I like the Navy Seal that went from male to female

1:49:16 Yeah, that seems more common than this but just listen to this guy and tell me there's not an indication in a million years with a lot of those guys you're talking about like the seal probably they look like guys in drag. They never looked like women some of them do. Noooo! That's not true Some of them do I'm agreeing but most of them don't They look like guys in drag. I don't care, you can... You can go through 20 pictures with you and tell me that i'm not right on this. This guy is a guy! You must be looking at different websites than I do I can look at any websites except for the, you know there are spectacular looking transsexual women. Yes i'm not going to say that but just go to the average...you know just look around more and you'll see and you won't give me the numbers. Yeah I really don't spend my time looking around and seeing people of transgender. Well it's a topic of conversation! Which by the way this conversation, the way we're talking never ever ever in 100 million years will you have this on mainstream

1:50:16 No, we won't. You won't because they were dominated by advertisers They're corrupt a woman down the and you can if you can just have a conversation from all angles Respondents dinner couldn't even say anything bad about NBC exactly Harvard guy Yeah, Harvard guy. And to see the words like gay lesbian bisexual transgender students at CHOTE it's like oh they exist! It seems like the simplest thing in the world but it can be Alex Myers was one of the speakers when he's the first conference presenter to be transgender and uses his life story as a way of educating others about transgender issues I was pretty much a normal little girl. Alex grew up as Alice in the small rural town of Paris, Maine He went to boarding school at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire and in the summer between his junior and senior years came out as transgender A first for this school In 1996 he was also the first openly transgender student to attend Harvard University And he worked to change the university's non-discrimination clause To include gender identity

CHAPTER 24 / 39 Discussion

Economic Inequality and Police Programming in Media

A comparison is made between the media's focus on social identity issues and the systemic neglect of the American poor. The discussion argues that economic suffering is the true driver of civil unrest. Additionally, a segment of the children's show *Bubble Guppies* is criticized for "programming" children to obey arbitrary police rules and view law enforcement with unquestioning worship.

poverty· civil unrest· bubble guppies· police· media programming

1:51:18 But of course, in my theory it'll never happen because the idea is less people. But I wish an equal amount of time and effort and energy and resources and money was put into saving the poor of the United States who are on the street rioting not because they're mad that a white cops killed a black kid no! They're poor they're starving they have nothing left to do Nothing And there's this fake screen of fantastic economy and joblessness lowest ever. No, people are suffering! Suffering puts some money and effort into that this is fine too it's all good. This is your right this is a bunch of bull...this is private matters if you're

1:52:10 for big public profit, private matters for profit and ABC and Disney TV. Disney is fine. Ryan Seacrest and all it's fine. That's fine. It's totally fun. And I understand the agenda, but it becomes so clear what you're really doing ignore the poor people who usually have a color skin, but there's more poor white people in America or white and yeah, poor white. You know what? I think black people, black Americans are they're pissed off and they're pissed. You know, think about that. I mean, I can't really imagine it but imagine I was black and my president was black and shit just got worse. What are you going to do? Now the good news in all this fucked sorry it's really in this thing with the transgenderism and then population control is this atrazine

1:53:06 Product that was talking about there's something something good. It's used extensively on golf courses Now, I don't know about you but if we need any population control we need less golfers. There ya go! That's pretty good... Well the thing that i take a little bit of issue with and because I'm interested in this, I grew up in Amsterdam and completely open minded liberal about it. And like Jenner said all I want is just people to have an open mind and I think America can do that. Yeah on Facebook people will yell and scream and shout or whatever but

1:53:43 I think it's, I really truly believe it's a minority. And I love that he said he's a Republican that just was icing on the cake but there's this concept of trying to help children transition early on in life very early and I know so many parents whose kids, it's not abnormal for boys when they're growing up to want to play with cook sets and do girly things. It doesn't necessarily mean that they are born in a wrong body. No it looks like fun! That's why they want to do it. Yes. But its no because girls wanna have fun little boys wanna have fun

1:54:26 And, but this is from very early age. This is a lot of these new stories that I see you know let's help them transition into who they really are early on. There's also these Berkeley style women who oh he likes to play with dolls make him wear a dress I mean, they promote the idea and get the kids all screwed up. He's wearing a dress for no apparent reason and everyone says hey you shouldn't be wearing a dress oh you shouldn't be telling me gender identification issues! I can wear a dress if i want to because my mother told me too exactly because she wants me in a dress which is... it's a mess this isn't good And these are all your Austin liberals by the way Yes absolutely

1:55:08 So there's a lot of mind control taking place on our children. And I do want to warn for this, not because i'm against any choices any person makes but it's very easy to suggest things and put people on paths that they may later regret. But I just see tons and tons of mind control...and actually got a this is an interesting clip from I'm going somewhere with this. Unless you have more about... I think i've kind of done it on the train. No, no! I got nothing and you're on your own This is a kids show called Bubble Guppies And this entire bubble guppie episode is well.. You'll get the idea Uh oh Is there a problem officer?

1:55:55 I'm afraid there is. It's against the law to sing and swim upside down while purple, sir! And you're bumping into things...I'm afraid i'm going to have to give you a ticket. Tickets are a reminder that you have to follow the rules There ya go For The Most Idiotic Things Tickets are a reminder. You've got to follow the rules I'm a rule follower, so if the rule is that we have to do it then i'll do it I'm a rule follower right? What do you do are you a rule follower now We are certainly not rule followers here So there's this programming going on And I just don't think that's the correct way to talk about the police and there's a lot of

CHAPTER 25 / 39 Discussion

Bill Nye and President Obama Climate Discussion

Bill Nye "The Science Guy" met with President Obama to promote climate change awareness and STEM education. During the conversation, Nye emphasized the importance of engaging children in science before the age of ten to foster a lifelong passion. The hosts criticize Nye's credentials as a mechanical engineer rather than a research scientist and question the validity of the climate models he supports.

bill nye· barack obama· climate change· stem· science education

1:56:37 strange worship in this cartoon about law enforcement. And this leads me to Bill Nye the science guy, who is not a scientist he's an engineer... was he electrical engineer? I don't recall Maybe you should look that up. As part of Earth Day and this is only just coming out now He had a sit-down chat with President Obama in Florida Of all people who gets to be the conduit, the bridge to public about climate change This guy? I mean, the credibility factor is far to be found. But he's so hyped up! He's so excited! He's just brimming...he's bristling...he's oooohhh....

1:57:25 Just how his whole body feels good about it. You can see it as he does the intro to this on the White House driveway Bill Nye back from our trip to Florida The president I had a very nice conversation about climate change science education such occasion for girls Especially the future of the u.s.. As a guy born in the US as a patriot, I'm just delighted that we are all working together really at last on addressing climate change So that we can dare I say it Change the world. Check out our conversation." Change the world! He's a patriot, I like that. He's a mechanical engineer. Mechanical engineer? Is that a scientist? An engineer and a scientist...I believe are not the same. Okay now here is this- He's closer to a mathematician than a scientist per se. Oh so he doesn't do experiments Right therefore he would be- Apparently does nothing about computer modeling Well That's my point exactly is that

1:58:24 All of the climate change theorem are built on computer models that are consistently wrong. In fact, just to accentuate that here is a CBS News report with an actual approved climate scientist who was part of the IPCC. The back-to-back eruptions of Chile's Mount Calvuco less than 24 hours each other came with little warning forcing the evacuations nearly 4500 residents but scientists are watching closely for a different reason volcanic gases have been shown to have a cooling effect

1:59:03 The massive eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 lowered global temperatures by as much as one degree. But they say even smaller eruptions like this one in Chile can also make a difference. It's like a mirror. Allegra LeGrand is the climate expert with NASA. Once these gases make it to the stratosphere, they're converted into particles that literally reflect sunlight and prevent the sunlight from coming into the earth's surface and warming it up. This is a small component of why we're not as warm today as our climate models predicted would be seven years ago." Ah, gee! So she admits that the outcome of predictions are incorrect currently? That's the first time I've heard it on mainstream news. I think somebody screwed up to let her on. They shouldn't—yeah. We'll never hear from her again.

1:59:52 So here is the plan, the setup as Bill Nye and the president... The President he's not really being interviewed. He actually turns it around immediately and starts interviewing him which is always a bad sign if you're a true media professional that you're interviewing someone but it was more of chat and this is all about getting them early. Scientific literacy generally and encouraging young people to be be excited about science. You're the science guy, this is your demographic... These are my people! These are your peeps as they say. He's your peeps! He's your peeps! He's your peeps! Focused all the time on getting young people excited about science What have you learned about what works and why do you think it is that our schools are not more successful

2:00:40 in getting kids excited about science, technology engineering math STEM particularly when it comes to girls but also when it comes to because its boring that's why girls don't want to do is boring of african-americans hispanics where you think things are breaking down cuz kids naturally are curious they love tooling around and figuring stuff out what happens well our problem we have a...you have to invest in science education Very compelling research. Ten years old is about as old as you can be to get the so-called lifelong passion for science." Now, is this true John? Is it after ten you can't influence a child?

CHAPTER 26 / 39 Discussion

Volcanic Cooling and Climate Denier Rhetoric

The eruption of Mount Calbuco in Chile is cited by NASA climate experts as a factor that could temporarily cool global temperatures by reflecting sunlight. This admission is used to challenge the accuracy of long-term climate models. Meanwhile, President Obama is noted for using the term "climate denier" to marginalize political opposition, a move described as a propagandistic shift in language.

mount calbuco· volcanic ash· global cooling· climate change· barack obama

2:01:23 Generally acknowledged fact I never heard this and it might be it seems to me It's about as old as you can be to get a lifelong passion for anything, right? Like when did she want I don't know. I got a lifelong passion for amateur radio For flying all kinds of stuff way after amateur radio one was recent Lead and change things I was kind of a late bloomer. It wasn't until I was like 45 that I decided to do something with my life." When he was chosen by the elites, but here it is this is the bit where they actually come out and say it. You want to catch kids around 10 years before they're ten and it's easy. Catching little critters!

2:02:02 For my side of it, we want science in every day and every grade. So there's a huge opportunity for us because teaching science elementary level is very inexpensive I believe we recommend some other things like music and pasting stuff and woodworking. And reading, drawing stuff and having all kinds of kicking a ball. Kicking the ball is probably more valuable than anything. Kick in the ball, kick in the ball now you got to catch him catch those kids early, catch them, catch them and program them which is okay fine for me then the final clip here which the president that we've gone from

2:02:44 By the way, this Bill Nye guy according to the wiki page all in on the idea apparently in 19...2005. He was all-in about that 2005 Atlanta hurricane season and how they giant hurricanes will be every year are gonna get pounded devastating hurricanes. Yes John but this has changed because of the volcanic eruptions Don't you remember? The giant hurricanes are gonna be every year is going to be worse than ever The hurricanes. John! Adam and John! The science is in! Science! Now the president does something very interesting here, which he truncates the term into something which now has just gone nuts When you're making decisions around important issues make sure that you take science seriously I mean when i see members of congress being part

2:03:40 Climate denier clubs. I don't think anyone denies this climate now we don't even say climate change you say climate denial, I deny climate. I deny client! I denounce climate Wow the climate denier club okay so they're trying this is great this is a propagandistic methodology Absolutely. You take the word climate change and you just use the word climate, and then you promote the idea that climate equals climate change because it's used in this in the way it used to be used when he meant climate change so now it's just climate. So using simply the word climate

2:04:26 implies climate change. It's fantastic! Climate change is real! It's real, it's real, it's real! Being part of the... ...climate denier clubs... Clubs? And basically stiff-arming what we know are facts. Facts?! Yeah the fact that models are wrong That's the facts, that's the facts! Not rebutting them with other facts but rebutting them with anecdote or Or is being dismissive. Oh, I'm not a scientist. Well, I'm not a scientist either but i know a lot of scientists. I have the capacity to understand science and look at facts and base my conclusions on evidence that's right That's right! Did I say he wasn't a scientist or was he just mocking people who do? No, he's mocking Republicans. Ah yeah

Stanford University and Media Skepticism

A brief discussion touches on the relocation of acquaintances to Stanford University and the general bias found in academic environments. The segment references NBC journalist Richard Engel and past skepticism regarding his reporting on being kidnapped in Syria.

stanford university· richard engel· media bias· academia

2:05:25 And the thing that is so disappointing, when the president says it how can you refute the president? You're a moron. He's the moral leader! Although I will say we have an official big time Obama-bot dinner coming up next week Which, uh... Why is it any different than the other ones? Why is this one big time? Because Russ and a brain professor and his wife they moved to California. Coming out? He's at Stanford yeah so they're coming out and we already have everything set up yeah And I can't wait to say hey remember when you were all in on Richard Engel being his cell phone being hacked in Russia Richard Engel who was such a great journalist remember that? Here read this!

2:06:15 Must be that I'm surprised they haven't shot you by now. No, okay? You like guns you like guns Look at this one all it's like boom or they're afraid of guns none of them have guns They're afraid of them even though if you yeah even though the professor is from he's from East Texas So there's a little a little Texan hiding in their suppressed Suppressed by his environment very sad Very sad. Man should be gun-toting, I don't know what the hell problem is with what happened to him here but it's sad May I congratulate you John on two hours more than two hours and not a single time have you said the dreaded yeah no

2:06:59 I don't know why you're saying yeah while saying no Yeah, no. I don't know why you're saying yeah while saying no. Yeah, no. Outstanding! Isn't that great? Yes very Beatle-ish we have a Beatles who is that the same guy who did the other Beatles songs No this is and I wanted me to this is This is The Night of the Living Dead who did this for us.

Boko Haram Rebranding and Australian Terror Arrests

Boko Haram has officially rebranded as the Islamic State in West Africa, pledging allegiance to ISIL. In Australia, an 18-year-old was arrested in Melbourne for allegedly planning a "rudimentary" terrorist attack targeting police during ANZAC Day commemorations. Authorities describe a new paradigm where simple tools like a flag and a camera are used to commit acts of terror.

boko haram· isis· melbourne· anzac day· terrorism

2:16:10 It's a lot. Really is quite a lot and you know we got new listeners and old listeners, and we lose listeners which especially when they're nights it's very disappointing. People go overboard it does happen I think our friends in New Mexico for example were one of the earliest nights husband-wife uh... New Mexico? Yeah they're in New Mexico they're very early this is early like early early hmm like first one or two nights huh yeah I think we should talk about We have a marketing exercise underway. Boko Haram has rebranded, they have changed their name to Islamic State in West Africa and this was a press release I guess that went out?

2:16:56 Press release, it went through the normal channels. They had to change the domain name and email addresses... The logo... Branding is very hard! Very very hard. They had to change the logos on their arms. And tattoos have to be removed. ISIL has said they support fully the decision of Boko Haram and urged its members to extend their activities to West Africa so if you're looking for something to do or you're looking for a little killing You know, get yourself a one-way ticket to Islamic State in West Africa. Nice! Very nice job on the rebranding we'll see how it catches up Australia of course ever since that...the chocolate shop where the guy had the wrong flag and all that? Yeah he was a screw up, that guy Well so they caught another guy I guess the six week cycle cluster now extends everywhere

2:17:53 And they've learned well in Australia. They've learned how to nip something in the bud, catch a guy and say he was going to kill everybody... But this police official who talks about this in his clip He really just put the fear into me of how easy it is to be a terrorist. An 18-year old man has been charged with planning a terrorist attack in the Australian city of Melbourne following a series of police raids inspired by Islamic State, they allegedly planned to target police officers at an event next weekend to mark ANZAC Day that's when Australia remembers its war dead

2:18:29 Michael Fieden is the Deputy Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police. This is a new paradigm for police, these types of attacks that are planned are very rudimentary and simple and as we've said before all you need these days a flag and the camera and one can commit terrorist act so it's very different. It's a different paradigm for us I used to carry that around when i was a kid, I had a knife, I had a compass. I was thinking compass? It's the Boy Scouts! The boy scouts are terrorists. Yeah this sounds like the boy scouts you got a knife we got a flag you gotta come but you got a little book tells you what to do and what was the other one

Italian Al-Qaeda Cell and Vatican Plot

Italian police dismantled an Al-Qaeda terror cell consisting of 18 individuals, including former bodyguards of Osama bin Laden. Investigators uncovered evidence of a 2010 plot to bomb the Vatican that was never executed. The cell is also linked to a 2009 market bombing in Pakistan that resulted in over 200 deaths.

2:19:08 A phone. Handkerchief? A camera, a camera. Camera! Yeah it's all Boy Scouts. But that is... The six week cycle and the guy says this is up to prevent stuff in the future but if you're really really hard up uh to catch some terrorists you know there's pre-crime then there's something I would now call post crime which Post-crime, which is a crime that was never committed in the past. Hold on first we do the pre-crime jingle before it's a crime It's pre-crime Okay What are we doing here? Here it is This is the odd story about to El Guido in Italy Italian police breaking up an alleged Al Qaeda terror cell arresting 18 suspected Islamic extremists officials say two of them and arrested were former

2:20:00 bodyguards of Osama bin Laden. Police say they also uncovered plans for a suicide bomb attack on the Vatican in 2010 In addition to the Vatican plot, the terror cell is reportedly linked to several acts of terrorism and sabotage in Pakistan including an attack on a Peshawar market in October 2009 that killed more than 200 people Now, so they were planning a terrorist attack on the Vatican. So Lest's arrest them but their plan was for it never happened well how can you do this? 2010? Yeah look what we found here Bill What the guys are gonna blow up there could be a comic book writer for all you know I just find weird

CHAPTER 31 / 39 Discussion

Armenian Genocide Centennial and Turkish Denial

The centennial of the Armenian Genocide has sparked international tension as President Obama and Pope Francis acknowledged the 1915 massacres. Turkish President Erdogan has vehemently rejected the "genocide" label, demanding other nations examine their own histories first. The discussion explores the historical role of the "Three Pashas" in the Ottoman Empire and the ethnic and religious motivations behind the killings.

armenia· genocide· turkey· recep tayyip erdogan· pope francis

2:20:42 I do have a couple of clips about Armenia. Well, allow me to lead you into this. Okay go ahead! The president made a statement about Armenian Remembrance Day This has been the big problem and the statement...I'll give you a little bit of it. This year we mark the centennial Medjugorjean, the first mass atrocity of the 20th century beginning in 1915 the Armenian people of the Ottoman Empire were deported, massacred and marched to their deaths their culture and heritage in their ancient homeland was erased amid horrific violence that saw suffering on all sides. One and a half million Armenians perished." So he's pretty much admitting this for the first time like, wow what changed his mind? And then a little bit further down you see

2:21:30 A full, frank and just acknowledgement of the facts is in all our interests. Peoples and nations grow stronger and build a foundation for a more just and tolerant future by acknowledging and reckoning with painful events of the past." We welcome the expression of views by Pope Francis! There you go... So once the pope said this was a problem then the president felt he could do it and say well, y'know, the pope says it so I might as well get on board However President Erdogan of Turkey is slamming, literally slamming Sassan nations recognizing Armenian genocide by saying they should clean up their own history books first. Including Putin who did use the actual term genocide the president Obama did not use the term genocide if it's going to come down that

2:22:22 I think we should get over it already, okay? Well there's a bunch of craziness with this. I was watching the News Hour and they had these guys...these two writers on one of them, a Turk. Sorry to interrupt is it literally now about the term genocide? Is that what the problem now is? Is that it? President Obama he said it! He said they were massacred, it's fact, it's true, its real. He didn't use the term genocide so is that now the issue? Yeah well the problem is what we have here is a difference of opinion What happened, this was a small moment in Turkish history after the fall of the... Not if you're Armenian it's not. What did I say? Small moments It was a small moment in the history of the Ottoman Empire because they just collapsed and these douchebags took over called The Three Pashas

2:23:12 And they blamed everything on the Christians. And this was actually a Christian kill all Christians, there was a bunch of edicts no Christian in Turkey. The Armenians by the way 90% Christians for the most part. This is left out of the history books but you only have to do is read...the bad actors this guy Talat Pasha and you can read about him he's in the Wikipedia T-A-L-A-T Pasha He was eventually assassinated when he fled the country and moved to Berlin. And then you should also read Armenian genocide in the Wikipedia, which is actually quite good But they had these guys and it was all because the first day Rousted, the Greek Christians got them out declared no more Christians. And then they said these Armenians are a bunch of a-holes are going to fuck with us let's kill them all! Now I'm sorry interrupt so this is... The Ottoman Empire is collapsing These three douchebags get in and they're the ones that say

2:24:07 let's move into that territory. Was that the idea? No, they didn't want to...well yeah they wanted to take over where their Armenians were for sure but they just rousted them all shot as many as they could. First they started by killing like 100 or 200 of the top intellectuals that lived in Constantinople rounded him up shot him it's very much like it sounds a lot like the holocaust when it's described you had Kristallnacht and he had all these other These features, this is very similar. And so they want to say this was a genocide which indeed it was there was no question about that but the Turks are like kind of embarrassed about this. Can I ask you another question? This is great history lesson so I want to have some questions teach Professor Dvorak can you always identify as an Armenian

2:24:53 Are Armenians as identifiable as the Kardashians? Is it a race, is it what... What makes you Armenian besides living there. It's an ethnic group that happens to be Christian. Okay That's not pretty much all there is too but this guy, this Talat guy he was part of an ethnic group or something with the name of it I would have to look it up But they all had big butts Actually, no. Most of the Armenian women are actually...besides being very pretty, the big butt aspect... Well, the Kardashians are very pretty all of them. Oh they're all gorgeous! The Armenian women can be outrageously pretty Even after 30? This guy yes they don't have that jean cut Not like the Ukrainians where they get thick ankles? Pomak. This guy was a pomak which is a Bulgarian Islamist

CHAPTER 32 / 39 Discussion

Historical Revisionism and the Young Turk Revolution

Turkish narratives regarding the 1915 massacres are shifting to blame Kurdish irregulars for the deaths of Armenians during the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. The segment criticizes this as a form of face-saving revisionism. It also notes that the term "Young Turks" refers to the revolutionary group responsible for the genocide, making its modern use by media outlets like *The Young Turks* controversial.

2:25:42 from, and he ended up in, apparently they're all over that area. And they were all converted Christians some years earlier and they hate Christians and it was part of this, the untold story. So what bothers me is I'm watching NewsHour there's none of the history! And the guy that would mail host on NewsHour as acting like he doesn't know anything...I mean it doesn't take a lot to reading to catch up on this. Let's listen to a few these things starting with this Armenia too, where the Turkish guy sitting there blames the Kurds. For Turks this history is tied to the creation... The end of the Ottoman Empire and the creation of the modern Turkish state Precisely! This was World War I when the Ottoman Empire collapsed And as the empire was collapsing, the government at that time decided to move the Armenians from Eastern Turkey where they lived

2:26:31 into Syria, so from one part of the empire to another part. And the idea would be that they'll be away from advancing Russian armies—the fear was that the Armenians would work with the Russian armies to undermine the empire. What happened next was a disaster. Thousands or hundreds of thousands people died sometimes of famine and disease but usually in the hands of irregulars Kurdish irregulars and others who carried out attacks and I think that's really the core issue Someone in the chat room... The Kurds killed him. Can you believe the nerve of this guy? I saw that same thing flow by in the chat room, someone said the Kurds killed him so this must be some kind of meme that we have missed

2:27:13 Yeah, the meme is that these douchebags from Turkey are trying to blame everyone but themselves. Or they're definitely not blaming the three Pashas who are the guys responsible especially Talat everybody agrees on that guy is the bad actor. Well let me ask you allow me to... Professor can I ask another question? Yo! If only my professors had said yo I might have stayed in college Why won't The Turks admit it What's the problem? Well, here this guy who is a Turk who said this that's because they are creating and they have it's a hugely humiliating situation. They are trying to create new myths though. The Germans did this half that time ago and they're all hey shit we're sorry and by the way I sold the bike sorry man I'm sorry! The Germans are all apologetic if they agree and it's Never again and all this stuff

2:28:14 What's the Turks problem? That's the question no one can answer and now we see they're creating a new mythos based on that Kurds did it. Oh, we had nothing to do with it was the Kurds which is total bullcrap and by the way in little side note to this During this period with the three Pashas, that's when an event called the Young Turk Revolution took place. Which were all these guys... they're all Christian haters Oh that's where young Turks comes from And you have this Cenk and his buddies using this term, not realizing this is emblematic of the genocide. I don't know why you would pick this up and not know about it. But the Turks are in denial there's a lot of aspects to that i don't know why they're in complete denial about this and that's why the Armenians are just beside themselves and they're not going to stop bitching about this

2:29:06 Until someone says, okay here's another example of this happening. The Japanese won't apologize to the Chinese for what happened in Manchuria Right well man Chuko as they like to call it They want they refuse to apologize for this is that why are they not apologizing? I don't know same thing you might allow me on behalf of the Turkish people Armenians we are very sorry for the genocide and I as a Turkish American Now you're just irking people. I hope so, because this is ridiculous and the amount of time that's spent on it and the anger... There was a kid, Rafi, he worked at OnRam before we turned it into Think New Ideas and took it public. This is 1993

2:29:56 93 to 96. And Rafi was a good guy, Armenian? He was kind of a goofy guy which I liked a lot about him and for some reason he's one of these people that is still on my Facebook and all i ever see from him is grief about you know the lack of the word genocide and the lack of apology... You know it's like they're very upset! And I get it, I understand Well, you don't seem sympathetic in the least. What if some police... let's say the police chief of a local town kills your mother? Everybody knows he did it and he did it just because he wanted to and then everyone talks about it but he says screw it I'm not gonna apologize I just killed her And your son knowing this happened how would you feel Yeah! I would want death penalty to be televised Well there ya go

2:30:50 Of course, of course I understand. Uh-uh...I just don't understand what the why? Now, uh.. I don't get it! I don't understand why they can't sorry sorry hey just it sorry seems to be the hardest word Sorry move on Same with the Japanese. It's got something to a saving face Well they say Sally, Sully This has to do with with pride and face saving I dunno Something that seems like you know, we've learned from modern public relations is you say you're sorry as fast as you can. Yeah! Why are you all laughing? That's right Okay Any more on this? That was my tribute. There's a couple more clips, but they're the same thing these guys But it's this Kurd thing is the one that got me Wow yeah And then we have people in the chat room who've obviously not read anything about them about the whole subject of Armenian massacre and there in their Already parroting the bullcrap. That's what really bugs me about these chat rooms and now I'm

CHAPTER 33 / 39 Discussion

Paul Hellyer and UFO Disclosure Claims

Former Canadian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer appeared on RT to discuss his belief in extraterrestrial visitation. Hellyer claims that at least four species of aliens have been visiting Earth for thousands of years and were monitored by NATO during the Cold War. He suggests that alien species are concerned about humanity's use of atomic weapons and their impact on the "unity of the cosmos."

paul hellyer· ufo· canada· aliens· cold war

2:31:49 Really, that's all the buggy about the chat rooms? Yeah. They parrot the mainstream and then they guys go there... We had a guy that was complaining about our analysis of the body cams that just sent a note in with the same kind of snooze. Hey guys you're not thinking big enough! You know it's not about body cams its about National Police Force. Federal police force idea is we lost that about three years ago on this show We tried Nash the police called the FBI we tried we hoped but it just didn't happen. We were really all in for it ready for it But no, no see her well the SS is a sea hides police. I'm sorry Secret Service I always find that ironic our secret services you know the acronym is pre-date the SS yeah, I need to do a quick little Fletcher fest for the people who donated on Thursday show and

2:32:41 Shocked shocked I am to find that John Fletcher's screaming in here Melody! Morgan Corkill Trevor Mudge It is good we're stopping on time You'll never work again The guys gonna blow out his voice at the rate he's going yeah, and I've been holding off on undoing this because it really didn't have a a good interview with him, but I think today is the day. That's right! Second half of show. I've been following this guy for awhile he is the former Canadian defense minister in the 60s Paul Hellyer is his name ever heard this guy? Actually yes Have you seen any of his comedic stylings? No

2:33:40 He was on RT with the Chevron Nazi Sylvie severed not shake who I love her man Do I she do you think she's related to these ever nachi? You must be somehow as far as I'm concerned. That is marinated fish so Sophie Super cute and she does this interview being a mocking voice how do you spell Paul's name H e ll y er hellier paul heller former Minister of Defense for the Candanavians. And he has been very vocal about the existence of UFOs and aliens on the planet for decades. Actually, in this I think he says they've been here for thousands of years. It's a 40-minute interview. I pulled out two clips that I thought would be relevant—both a little bit over a minute and half—perfect for the second half of show. Let's see if we can make up our mind about this guy. Honorable Paul Hellyer, former minister of defense of Canada

2:34:44 And he believes that live forums... You know, I would love to go on a date with Sophie but she's got to shut up. Or just tone it down! Can you imagine? I don't want the stroganoff! ...from space exist and are present on Earth Why do you say that UFOs are as real as the airplanes flying over our heads Well, because I know that they are. As a matter of fact, they've been visiting our planet for thousands of years and one of the cases that would interest you most if you'll give me two or three minutes to answer is during the Cold War in 1961 there were about 50 UFOs in formation flying south from Russia across Europe

2:35:32 and the Supreme Allied Commander was very concerned, and about ready to press the panic button when they turned around and went back over the North Pole. So they decided to do an investigation, and they investigated for three years, and they decided that with absolute certainty that four species—four different species at least had been visiting this planet for thousands of years So that's, we have a long history of UFOs and of course there has been a lot more activity in the last few decades since we invented the atomic bomb. And they're very concerned about that and the fact that we might use it again because the whole cosmos is a unity

2:36:23 And it affects not just us, but other people in the cosmos. They're very much afraid that we might be stupid enough to start using atomic weapons again and this would be very bad for us and for them as well. Are you cracking paper? It was just a water bottle being smashed. He goes on... talk about a lot of different things. And what was interesting, the entire interview, everything he said was stuff that I had read and researched early on because I obviously believe this...

2:36:59 It would be stupid not to think it's a possibility. Just a lot of space out there now I was always aware of a couple of different types of aliens We have the tall blondes which he actually calls something different here The greys as you know, I was introduced to a tall blonde which was kind of didn't really impress me. Yeah And I've had my suspicions You know maybe that's what the portal will teach me The portal there are actually 80 types of aliens. I used to think there were you know between 2 and 12

CHAPTER 34 / 39 Discussion

Alien Species and the Nordic Blonde Theory

A discussion on extraterrestrial taxonomy mentions the "Nordic Blondes" and "Tall Whites," species that reportedly look human and may be working with the U.S. Air Force in Nevada. The segment references Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell's claims regarding the number of alien species. A humorous theory is proposed that certain Scandinavian physical traits, such as long necks, may be evidence of alien genetics.

2:36:23 And it affects not just us, but other people in the cosmos. They're very much afraid that we might be stupid enough to start using atomic weapons again and this would be very bad for us and for them as well. Are you cracking paper? It was just a water bottle being smashed. He goes on... talk about a lot of different things.

Yeah And I've had my suspicions You know maybe that's what the portal will teach me The portal there are actually 80 types of aliens. I used to think there were you know between 2 and 12

2:37:37 And Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who came to Toronto a few years ago and had dinner with us agreed that it was somewhere between 2 and 12. But the latest reports that I've been getting from various sources are that there are about 80 different species and some of them look just like us." They're playing some video under him with those soundtrack way too loud and you don't walk past one. And they're what we call the Nordic Blondes, and also the Tall Whites. So he's talking now the Nordic Blondes and the Tall Whites? I think it would be more like a tall white. That would be me. Who are actually working with the United States Air Force in Nevada. They're able to get away with that. They had a couple of their ladies dressed as nuns went into Las Vegas to shop

2:38:35 and they weren't detected. And I have a friend who saw one of the men walking along the street, somebody who would recognize that they were different and he did so there are those kind...and then there are the short greys as they're called and they're the ones that you see in most of the cartoons They have very, very slim arms and legs. And they're very short just a little over five feet. Ryan Seacrest! And they have great big head and great big brown eyes. Pat Sajak If you saw the Short Greys you certainly know that there was something up that you've never seen before but if you saw one of the Nordic Blondes well you'd probably say oh I wonder if she's from Denmark? I think I was married to one of those

2:39:26 Well, that's an interesting clip. So where are you going with it? Let me say something before you go...before you answer that if people want to read an alternative history that I think is the most fascinating of all these books because the guy who wrote this product It has nothing but creds. I mean, he's just totally...he's very credible. Not credulous, credible! This is the Philip Corso book you can get it as an e-book. It's Philip Corso's The Day After Roswell and his argument about all this is that We're actually the and you could which counters your concept. We're actually at war with these jokers well he doesn't mention that he does mention that there are two species that we may May be hostile to us and the rest are all just leaving us alone unless we start lighting up nukes Which is all stuff? You can read online, I mean it's like the guy spent eight years researching of you know Just yeah, it sounds like he's been really talking online too much this guy Yeah mm-hmm now alright

2:40:28 But I think all parents should allow their children the freedom to transition to the alien they are. So if your child is showing, hey come on how come we can't deny that? Your child seems very interested in levitation let them become what's it called tall white? Tall white and a blond. The Nordic blonde. This would explain the extra bone in the vertebrae of certain long-necked women from Scandinavian and Nordic countries. Oh, tell me! I didn't know this... Oh yeah A lot of Scandinavian and Nordic women have an extra bone in their neck This is a count There's so many of these vertebrates Some people have more than others But there's an extra bone notably in the neck of some of these women And it makes them look very... Their neck looks longer It makes them very attractive

2:41:29 Okay, it could be maybe because of alien genes. I don't know why would you have an extra bone in your neck? I don't know but i'm very open to this and I shall be Working on it in the portal Good we need to get more of this stuff back people have been now. This is a fact People have been complaining about the show Not having enough of that disorder material Oh, you guys used to talk about all this interesting alien stuff even though it's bullcrap. It was very interesting and entertaining they say this in the note with that voice yeah exactly

CHAPTER 35 / 39 Discussion

Presidential Sweat and Alien Speculation

A peculiar observation regarding the physical traits of political leaders suggests that neither Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton appear to sweat in high temperatures. Former Obama aide Reggie Love reportedly noted the president's ability to remain cool in an 85-degree limousine. This observation is jokingly used to fuel speculation about the non-human nature of high-level politicians.

barack obama· hillary clinton· reggie love· sweat· conspiracy

2:42:08 I'm every time it comes up, I see that way. Well, it's not that easy to come up with this stuff. That's well you can just repeat it over and over again. Oh, I'm always open to this. Yeah, I brought Hey, I brought a new if you find new material about the aliens yeah of course run it Of course we had the guy who said he had seen the spaceship at Area 51 and the president told him not to talk about it who just died there's people like that so this could also be project blue blue beam which is a fun conspiracy that is often discussed where we will introduce, and this would fit perfectly with President Hillary. She will introduce us to the- She doesn't sweat you know? She could be an alien! Neither does President Obama He doesn't sweat?! Don't you remember that?? Well I remember Hillary not sweating it's all she never sweats Oh hold on a second With my new super duper... let me see Yeah i think wasn't it Reggie

2:43:10 Reggie love wasn't reggie. Let me see you Reggie talking about it Obama doesn't sweat Yeah, and he was in the car don't remember that he said he was in I'm almost coming back to me But I don't remember it yeah He'd be have the clip all of them. I don't this may be This may not even be on this machine these clips um let's see so if I just look at sweat oh No, I don't have that. I'll look for it for the next show but Reggie Love said that the president would have you know the either air conditioner off It'd be 85 degrees in The Beast in the presidential limousine and the president wouldn't break a sweat at all Don't you remember this? No! I don't. Again... Wait hold on ask again and I'll say the same thing

CHAPTER 36 / 39 Discussion

Pearson Education and Standardized Testing Glitches

Standardized testing in Minnesota was disrupted by technical failures and a suspected Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack on servers managed by Pearson and Prometric. The glitches caused significant anxiety for students in grades 3 through 11. The incident highlights the risks of the "Common Core" transition to digital testing and the monopolistic influence of the Pearson Foundation on the U.S. education system.

pearson· prometric· minnesota· ddos attack· standardized testing

2:43:55 I vaguely remember something, but i don't remember that. You're gonna have to find that clip and pull it because I didn't know that he didn't sweat. I know Hillary doesn't sweat everybody comments on that she just does not sweat right um i'm looking for it but i believe uh... i believe it's so old that clipped at all look forward in the meantime let's go So these tests everywhere that these kids are doing, they fall under different names. We had Star in Texas We have, this is the... what's this? Michigan. Let me double check here for a second By the way all of these tests are conducted by Pearson who own the educational market and who are all in thanks to lots of donations to The Pearson Foundation which of course has a Chinese wall segregating The Pearson profit-making organization And oh wait! They were fined a couple million dollars for overstepping the boundaries

2:44:58 And this is all set up by the governors, who have...the only way they can get their no child left behind. Yeah, their no-child-left-behind money is if they spend it and this is primarily Bill Gates' partnership with Pearson and the Department of Education everyone's all in on it but the company that actually does the testing is Prometric And Prometric is the one that's screwing up with all of this stuff. They are the facilities... A lot of our dudes named Ben will probably know Prometric, because they conduct all of the Windows IT professional tests

2:45:40 So they're used to doing this stuff, but maybe they're not so used to doing it in this setting with kids and with schools and with... well, with hackers! Minnesota comprehensive assessments are given to students in grades 3 through 8 in reading math and science. Tenth-and eleventh graders also take the test Last week and this week students struggled to log in. Someone gave me the analogy today for this type of an attack if you're in line at the grocery store, and your son-you're trying to pay and your son is going mom mom mom mom that's a denial of service attack. Wow, I'm so glad you explained it to the stupid human resources. That's not at all what a denial of service attack is but okay if you think that's how it works... The company that administers the test first discovered a server failure then there was a problem with too much traffic at one time

2:46:31 Tuesday, they found out an outsider was deliberately disrupting the system. Overwhelming it so that students couldn't log in and take their test. It's not an attempt to steal data or hack into the system rather it is an attempt to overwhelm it so that it can't function. So this would have been something someone intentionally did in order to disrupt it from the outside He says there's no indication any student data was taken MCA scores are seen as an indicator of a student's growth year to year. They're also used to track the progress of a school. Teachers worry that technical problems have created even more anxiety for students who understand the tests are important. Testing can already be an anxious time for students and we know that, so anything that is going to potentially increase that anxiety is concerning to us and that's part of the reason why we decided to suspend testing today

2:47:21 This afternoon, the Minnesota Department of Education notified school districts that MCA testing will resume tomorrow. Pearson assures them the problems have been fixed and they put in some new protections to prevent a similar attack on the testing system an investigation is taking place to find the person or people responsible for this. They lost two days but they're going to extend that window. This is crazy! None of this can go well, of course if you're doing this over the open internet and making these kids log in. Well yeah, of course I think it's very difficult for anyone certainly Pearson or Prometric to stop a denial-of-service distributed denial-of-service. So I don't know what they say Denial service to tell you it probably doesn't take much I'm guessing with the software to just screw it up

2:48:14 So this thing is kind of... This is classic, oh let's rely on this crappy technology. Buy more computers. Stop teaching the kids put them on a computer which you know I was when I was a kid they had these things called teaching machines and they were out there there's nothing new about this technology controlled data used to own the market as a matter of fact and they put people on these things and you could sit behind this thing and take tests and learn stuff kinda It was not a substitute for a classroom, but we've gone all in on this. Oh let's just computers! We don't even need teachers!" You got a bunch of kids you know doing stupid crap and they were on Facebook you know that's what are you gonna learn there?

Technological Society and Ted Kaczynski Manifesto

The discussion turns to the philosophical critiques of modern technology, citing Jacques Ellul’s *The Technological Society*. The hosts also reference the manifesto of Theodore Kaczynski, known as the Unabomber, titled *Industrial Society and Its Future*. The conversation explores the idea that technology often creates more problems than it solves, leading to a loss of human autonomy.

jacques ellul· ted kaczynski· unabomber· technology· manifesto

2:48:56 I'd find this whole thing to be depressing. Well, these are the unintended consequences of technology as we often discuss and it's only going to get worse... It just is not...I mean the emails are still flowing in continuously about the ECD10 codes. Dudes named Ben are all kind of...it's unmanageable! Somehow we have gotten into this vibe Technology solves everything or tech it's called tech. Tech! Tech... Heck, you know it sounds... well another good book for people to read. Jacques Elluel's The Technological Society is pretty long but it's very good. No you could always read... Excellent book Yeah You could always read another book by my friend Theo It's not really a book but you can download from the show notes I always have it linked there under the today section Industrial Society and its Future from my friend Theo You mean Ted Kaczynski? Theodore

2:49:58 Yes, Ted Kaczynski. Yes the Unabomber who was so passionate... I know you love that book He's so passionate about what he had to say that because there was-he couldn't publish it because we didn't have an internet really and then he forced The New York Times in The Washington Post to publish it because of you was blowing people up So yeah, I think they got something to say so gee Who was the other? Anyway, there's just technological society is an excellent read for anyone who likes a good good. Read it about what we just discussed which is that this stuff that you know you turn everything relies on technology or tech is going to fix everything and save everything. Yeah gonna save us all. It's not saving anybody from I can tell no it's really not. It's really a step backwards in many ways like me some tech but

Russian Military Might and the 2013 Syria Strike

A report from "Australian Voice" suggests that the planned 2013 U.S. airstrikes on Syria were aborted because Russian electronic warfare and naval defenses successfully jammed or intercepted initial Tomahawk missiles. This secret military failure purportedly shifted the geopolitical balance, leading to the subsequent conflict in Ukraine. The narrative claims the West's hostility toward Putin stems from this demonstration of Russian military superiority.

2:50:48 It does account for us of being able to do this show, which would not be doable in a non-internet era. It just wouldn't you can make it tape and pass it around? And then we also wouldn't be able to share...and I want people to...this is in the show notes under the F Russia section there's a great blog post from someone named Australian Voice. Let me see if there's a real name here as anyone really claims who this is Well-researched piece about...actually the title of it is, why? This came from one of my handlers from Agent Orange. He sent this to me so take that with whatever you want Why does the West hate Putin? The secret reason I have a secret! I know the secret reasons can i say? Because he's got Snowden! Let me read this one paragraph

2:51:43 Early in the morning of Saturday, August 31st 2013 an American official called the office of President Hollande of France telling him to expect a call from President Obama later in the day. Quote assuming that the evening phone call would announce the commencement of US air strikes against Syria, Hollande ordered his officers to quickly finalize their own attack plans. Rafael fighters were loaded with scalp cruise missiles their pilots told to launch the 250 mile range musicians when munitions while over the mediterranean in other words At this point in time, the French pilots and the US forces were only waiting for the final command from President Obama to begin their attack. However later that same day at 6 15pm, Obama called the French president to tell him that the strike scheduled for 3am September 1st would not take place as planned he would need to consult Congress." Now we remember this happening but we didn't know the depth and this guy has some interesting footnotes and links

2:52:40 It was claimed by a Lebanese newspaper quoting diplomatic sources that the missiles were launched from a NATO air base in Spain, but were shot down by the Russian ship-based sea to air defense system who moved in hastily. Another explanation proposed by The Age of Times says the Russians employed their cheap and powerful GPS jammers to render the expensive tomahawks helpless by disorienting them and causing them to fail yet another version attributed to the launch to the Israelis, whether they were trying to jump start the shootout or just observed the clouds as they claim. So and it shows all the different warships that were in the area and we had the USS Mahan, this is a destroyer...the Stout, the destroyer...the San Antonio which is amphibious ship...the Chevalier Paul frigate

2:53:26 And you can see the Russian ships that were in there. They had anti-sub ships, lots of amphibious ships...and um the claim here in this right, in this paper or blog post is that really the secret is we failed and the Russians showed their quote unquote might and that scared everybody back and that's when they said okay well if we cant do it that way lets go screw those guys And this of course launched ultimately Ukraine and the idea was for NATO to take over Crimea. Which is, of course a beautiful spot to put some ballistic missiles on if you really want to have a good piece of the region and it's a nice vacation spot too for some of the elites. I like what this guy has done he's got a lot of research material, a lot of footnotes...and i find that pretty believable!

2:54:24 Not so good of course is that means we really truly are at war with Russia, and we're just playing who's gonna blink first I guess Well, I'm skeptical. I'll have to look at this material myself. It's in the show notes 716... It just seems like a long new narrative that conveniently explains things and also manages to blame the Russians again when we love to blame the Russians but it actually doesn't allow us to blame the Russians! This actually doesn't blame the Russians it actually says the Russians stopped you know this attack

2:55:02 and it sounds like they're blaming the Russians for something. Okay, all right I think that's good it's worth reading it's uh...I will definitely get on that and see what we've put a couple things on the list we have want to mention those books again so people can Jack LUL is the technological society, E-L-L-U-L if you're looking for a file somewhere. And also Philip Corso C-O-R-S-O and his book I think it's the only book he ever wrote and it's called The Day After Roswell It's very especially when about halfway through do you realize this
