About this episode

A performance of LBJ All The Way at the Zack Theater in Austin was interrupted when multiple iPhones triggered loud emergency weather alerts, highlighting the intrusive nature of default government notification settings. The incident underscores the debate over theater signal jammers, which could prevent such disruptions but pose significant safety risks by blocking emergency 911 calls during medical crises. This intersection of historical political theater and modern digital intrusion sets the stage for a broader look at legislative and corporate overreach.

Senator Inhofe and the 114th Congress utilized unanimous consent to bypass the reading of Senate Resolution 173, obscuring the content of the legislation from public view. Meanwhile, Google acquired the time-management app Timeful to integrate automated scheduling into Gmail, and Microsoft announced the end of the Patch Tuesday model at the Ignite 2015 conference. In the private sector, the sudden death of SurveyMonkey CEO David Goldberg in Mexico remains under scrutiny due to discrepancies in official reports regarding head trauma and the lack of a formal autopsy. Additionally, President Obama launched the My Brother's Keeper Alliance as a private non-profit, securing $80 million in corporate commitments from leaders like Joe Echevarria while still in office.

Sir Elton John appeared before a Congressional hearing with Senator Lindsey Graham to advocate for PEPFAR funding, citing the legacy of Ryan White in the fight against AIDS. The program also features a formal knighting ceremony for Scott Lavender and Alexander Sukhovy, alongside a humorous attempt to subconsciously program listeners to shout the show's website upon hearing the phrase In the morning.

LBJ All The Way Play, Emergency Weather Alerts

A discussion of the play "LBJ All The Way" at the Zack Theater in Austin leads to observations about historical portrayals of J. Edgar Hoover and the Gulf of Tonkin. During the performance, multiple audience members' iPhones triggered loud emergency weather alerts, highlighting the intrusive nature of default government notification settings. The dialogue notes a recurring, oddly structured line in the play regarding what difference things make "at this point," mirroring famous political rhetoric.

00:00 Well, it's crowd control. Let's face it that's what it amounts to. Drenched from the mile Broadcasting live from the crackpot condo and FEMA region 6 in Austin Tejas in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and for northern Silicon Valley up here in that the Tower of Terror. I'm John Cena, right? Here's a little tip if you want to see it coming from the tower of terror You gotta sound a little bit like it

00:40 Tower of Terror. It was a throwaway, I was like, eh, Tower of Terror... Well there's a lot of garbage trucks floating around so it's pretty terrifying. I'm in my tower of terror once again. It's the tower of terror! Yeah but it's gonna rain all week here? It's actually been raining? No, sending our way. Monsoons yeah. Actually it was uh- I went to see the play LBJ All The Way here at the Zack Theater in Austin Why would they even show that play? Why?? Yeah, well yeah. Because it's a Tony award winning play that's why or nominated maybe not right now did they really display our show LBJ is the douchebag that he was you know I have to say they came pretty close he's also endearing in a way but first of all the play is really good I have to say I like it like the way they've done the set uh... the two active two main actors Martin Luther King and LBJ dynamite neither them from Austin of course you know they get these guys from out-of-state

01:44 The guy who plays Martin Luther King is from New York. Actually, I talked to both of them after the show that's how community theater works. That's how small town theater works! Hey we'll see you in the bar afterwards. How many? What size is the auditorium? It's pretty big...I don't know exactly how big the Zach Theater is but it's a good theatre and I've been there many times. What's the name of it? That's the name of the theater? It's actually the Toppler Theater, just Zach Austin. Anyway, the play does a number of things I think really well it shows how J Edgar Hoover when he was running the FBI was doing everything illegally including recording The King's extra marital trysts

02:34 As well as those of LBJ. They also brought up Gulf of Tonkin... What's his name, our guy that just quit? Holder? Just say that he was reinvigorating the FBI so it was like the olden days of blackmailing operation? Yes! Yeah, that's exactly where it is. In the play, all they have by FBI and really put a good portrayal of Hoover as well But the thing that was annoying, because we had such horrible weather completely drenched before I got into theater is you know you turn off your cell phone or people put them on silent. But of course this stupid Apple has by default the severe or emergency government weather alerts and so... And I swear to God! I'm sitting there watching this play and then I hear something like oh that sounds almost like the emergency broadcast system That's interesting because they had a lot

03:31 They played a lot of historical clips that had screen come down. It was well done that way, but like... Well the screen isn't here but I can hear the emergency broadcast system and then oh okay this is the iPhone weather alert which at least eight different people had this go off during uh during the play. Idiots! And what is it most people they have this thing? They don't know they turned it off to get their thing. They turned off the well They should turn off the whole phone really just to make sure can you do that with the Apple? Well, it's always on a little bit spying on you But at least you can turn it off so I won't do anything to you It was just stupid Anyway here Here's the one thing that really caught my eye or my ear I both three times in this play

04:19 Three times I heard a very famous line Verbatim and this is the line what difference at this point doesn't make three different times This exact sentence was uttered in the play at with the words. Yes, and it's pointed At this point what differences women it wasn't she says? Yes three times exactly exactly that way cuz I shot up like what And one time it was LBJ, one time it was I think Hubert Humphrey. Is that his name? Yeah, Hubert Humphrey and I think but one day... But it was definitely all white guys in the play who were saying this It was just one of those things. Martin Luther King never said that No not that I can recall no

05:17 And it was just one of those things, I'm sitting like what? It's a very funny structure too. That's why it's so obvious. Yeah because normally you would say I think... What difference does that make at this point? That's how you'd say it. Or at this point what difference does it make but what difference at this point does it make that structure was odd very odd huh yeah anyway the unintended consequences of technology ruining stuff Yeah, well that's never gonna end. I mean they could make it legal and I don't see why they don't. I know some people do it illegally. What? Just run a... Oh, a jammer? A jammer in the... This is not a good idea! Why?

CHAPTER 02 / 36 Discussion

Theater Cell Phone Jammers, Emergency Access

The prospect of using illegal signal jammers in theaters to prevent phone disruptions is debated. While jammers would ensure silence, they pose a significant safety risk by preventing emergency 911 calls during medical crises, such as heart attacks.

cell phone jammer· theater etiquette· 911 calls· emergency services

06:05 It's not a good idea. I'll tell you why, when we were there... Before the era of cell phones when you go to the theater and there was no cell phones it was equivalent if a jammer would be the same thing today Yes but you recall someone had a heart attack one of the times that were there and it was good that people could use their cell phones to call 911 because otherwise it could be a minute longer before someone will get the landline how do I get an outside line? Do I dial 9 or 0? Oh he is dead oh well thanks for your jammered Dvorak I could turn the jammer off if somebody has a heart attack. Yeah, but it takes justice... Who's the guy who knows how to turn off the jammer? Come on you understand. The guy who turned it on! And we have some proclamations and two big misses from our current president by presidential proclamation. It is National Teacher Appreciation Week 2015 along with coincidentally National Charter Schools week

CHAPTER 03 / 36 Discussion

National Teacher Appreciation Week, Missing Police Week Proclamation

President Obama issued official proclamations for National Teacher Appreciation Week and National Charter Schools Week in 2015. However, observers noted the absence of official proclamations for National Police Week and National Nurse Week, despite these events being widely recognized elsewhere.

national teacher appreciation week· national charter schools week· national police week· national nurse week· presidential proclamation

07:03 It's kind of a dichotomy in terms, in a way. Missing from the lineup and I checked again this morning... The president has not proclaimed officially although it is mentioned everywhere as being National Police Week. Find that strange that he's missing that? And National Nurse Week! Why doesn't he- He wasn't mentioned on that either? Nope. Nope. Now nurse week is strange because it starts ummm....it started Wednesday. It goes for from Wednesday to Wednesday Of course, nurses work through the weekend. And cop week... When did that start? I don't know. It's strange. I don't understand why the president doesn't... So I guess these aren't official then. They just said no good. You're no good people. Well actually as you mentioned, I can't find something and now I'm asking for help. Okay call for help!

CHAPTER 04 / 36 Discussion

Senate Resolution 173, Legislative Transparency Concerns

Concerns are raised regarding the lack of transparency in the 114th Congress concerning Senate Resolution 173. Audio clips of Senator Inhofe show the Senate using unanimous consent to bypass the reading of the resolution's title or content, making it difficult for the public to identify the subject of the legislation.

senate resolution 173· 114th congress· senator inhofe· legislative procedure· unanimous consent

08:09 I could look again, but I don't think...I can't find SR 173. Senate Resolution 173 from the 114th. It has to be from the 114th. Senate Resolution 173 comes up every year. Imhoff? Yeah. President, I ask you in the name of your consent that the senate proceed to consideration of SR 173. Is this what you're looking for? Yeah. Okay. My new system. Play the whole clip? The clerk will report. before 173, they would say, would the clerk read their thing? And they would go Senate Resolution 142. Adding a new post office to the ranks of... Then 7162165. To reinstall something or other. This one here

09:17 Listen and tell me what you think my complaint is. This is this, we're playing the new clip here right? The same one you were playing. Okay Senate resolution 173. I ask that the clerk dispense with reading without objection Mr President I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be agreed to the preamble be agreed to and the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate without objection Okay, you stop good to go as far as I'm concerned. I don't know what he said but no objection This is the last time I heard was anything this Ramming it through to such an extreme that they wouldn't let your read the title

09:57 Yeah, there's something going on. Something is going on! Did you look it up? When Harry Reid came and rammed through the NDAA in the dark of night, very similar. No quorum... I mean play the other Imhoff clip where they slam down even counting the number people that are there. Let's see. Mr President The senator from Oklahoma. I ask unanimous consent that the quorum call on how and progress be initiated without objection Mr President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate be in a period of morning business with senators permitting to speak up to 10 minutes each

10:36 Without objection and mr. President I assume skin sent that the Senate proceed to an immediate consideration of Stand by let me think I got the wrong information here Hungover mrs.. Mr.. President anyway, they're ramen this but anyways 170 so I'm looking at look a government God whatever it is in the Senate bills in the Senate resolutions in The Senate gov dot-gov yeah Well, there's a bunch of stuff. And I look and look and look, I can't find anything about SR 173A. There's a lot of old bills... But nothing from the 114th Congress. What is it? I don't know! Somebody out there help me. Okay. I am not familiar with SR 173A. We'll look into it for sure. It wouldn't bother me if they just say the title

CHAPTER 05 / 36 Discussion

Google Acquires Timeful, Frog and Toad List Logic

Google's acquisition of the time-management app Timeful is analyzed through a promotional video featuring a children's book. The story of "Frog and Toad" and their "List of Things to Do Today" is used to critique a culture of over-scheduling and the psychological need to cross off basic tasks like waking up or eating breakfast. The integration of this technology into Gmail suggests a future of automated, list-driven living.

11:27 You know it was probably something stupid. There's a bunch of 173 said I've come and gone that are idiotic so you know Peanut the national peanut, you're kind of thing let me see the chat room has found something already So I shall check this out make sure it's the 114th That's the yes 114th And it says oh that's interesting no results match hold on how can that be? Let's not finding much is it yeah Hold on a second. Chat room strikes again. No, I think it has to do with how that's showing up in... It was something we need to look into. All right anyway so that's our job. That's our action points what are they called? Action item for the list. Oh okay well now let me go right away this is kind of out of order not what we typically do but i found an announcement from Google that they have acquired this company called Timeful

12:21 And timeful, yes. You mean like time full F-U-L? Yes, time full. Time full. Yeah and timefull is going to be integrated into it's a standalone product that will be integrated into Gmail and what it does is well I have it here what does it do oh wait. What does it do Adam? What does it do? Well it manages your time and your emails accordingly Accordingly to what? To priorities that it learns automagically from you and turns it into lists. Oh god, this will not work!

13:00 The people who need these lists are so disorganized that the thing would never blow up. So I go to, uh, I go check out this, this outfit Timeful and they have a video on their website which explains what they do at Timeful. And so it's kind of a living room setting which looks like one of those, you know, like San Francisco. What's that district where we used to be with Pod Show and that little enclave there? South Park, right? South Park. South Park, Soma, bullcrap thingies they displayed in the show Silicon Valley everything takes place in these little living rooms. Yes yes bingo you got it

13:37 And so it's all the employees and there is a female employee on the ground, and there are couple of kids like crawling not really toddlers. And she is reading them a story which was so... Like okay this what you're doing? Pre-programming our kids into little robots? Listen to the story of Frog & Toad This story is called a list. And it's called the list. One morning Toad sat in bed I have many things to do he said, i will write them all down on the list so that I can remember them. Toad wrote on a piece of paper A List of Things to Do Today Then He Wrote Wake Up! I Have Done That Said Toad and he crossed out wake up You get The Idea?

14:26 This is a book, and it's a real book she's reading that are teaching kids how to manage their lives with lists. Like get up and then cross that one off the list after you've done it And these kids are like drooling He got out of bed and had something to eat Then Toad crossed out Eat breakfast He opened the door and walked out into the morning Soon Toad was at Frogs front door he took the list out from his pocket and crossed out Go to frogs house What are these kids morons they will be breakfast? Oh, I got eat breakfast So I'm gonna have a little give me get this straight so this these these A-holes Are gonna have them set me up. So my life will be the following wake up something. I cross off the list Okay, I think I've woken up. I don't think I need to cross it off any list It shouldn't be on a list just in pot its stupid and then eat breakfast cross it off the list oh

15:20 Yeah, I can't remember that. I ate breakfast. I have to have a list tell me I ate bread off the list you went to you went To your buddy's house and cross that off listen what else should you do when you go see your friend on? The list maybe open door or something. I don't know let's turn knocked at the door Hello said frog Oh, okay. OH NO! Not the list...

15:59 Frog ran after the list, but the list blew on and on at last frog came back to Toad I am sorry gasped frog. Oh, oh, I think there's a moral to this story They're gonna catch the list and then they were gonna cross off catch lists that I could not catch your list I Cannot remember any of the things that were on my list as I'm an idiot yeah I don't even need to play the rest of it. Didn't they get their backup off of Google? What? ...things to do, I will just have to sit here and do nothing said Toad Oh! I can't do anything without the list. Because I'm an idiot without a list telling me what to do. I think they should call Child Protective Services on this timeful outfit You know there are some people that obey lists

16:43 I've encouraged people to write lists for other people that need it, need to obey this but they don't pay any attention to me. Well...I have to say i'm quite worried that this whole initiative is all about obeying the list. You will obey! Toad sat and did nothing frog sat with him After a long time frog said toad it is getting dark. We should be going to sleep now This is bad news go to sleep shouted Toad that was the last thing on my list Toad wrote on the ground with a stick go to sleep, then he crossed out go to sleep Wait how could you do that makes no sense?

17:23 He had a stick. He says go to sleep, and you cross out did you go? What if he didn't go to sleep then he then he lied to the list Apparently there list liar sit toad now my day is all crossed out I am glad I can now go too bad said frog Then Froggin Toad went right to sleep And then what? The kids are all happy now. That is great! That was on the website... that's the only thing on their website I wonder if they got permission to read from that book Well, i think they wrote it themselves. Oh okay, I think they created this It sells permission Yeah After they gave themselves permission They could cross off the list Yes

18:05 I know, i know. I've tried working with lists, I do it. This whole show is built on lists! I tell people to... Mimi every once in a while, ohhh I didn't do this, I forgot to do that, I was gonna tell you something and I said make a list It's not a big deal. People do make lists, it does come in handy once in awhile to go to the grocery store and you come home and say oh I forgot something! You didn't bring a list did ya? Nope. So lists are good for certain uses but not to cross off every damn shit thing that you do all day. We'll see what happens when this is integrated into the Gmail which will be interesting. Well luckily I don't use Gmail except to send clips. And then right here, send clips.

Microsoft Ignite 2015, Software Patching Changes

The Microsoft Ignite 2015 conference in Chicago showcased new developments for IT professionals, including features for OneDrive. Microsoft announced a shift away from the traditional "Patch Tuesday" model in favor of a continuous stream of updates, a move that critics argue mirrors Apple's "slipstream" update style which can disrupt custom-tuned systems.

18:48 The most disappointing thing in these past few days with everything going on there's a lot of stuff and I feel like we're over what? Well, I was gonna say since you were on the little tech stuff there before he went there. I was gonna Okay sure yeah, I have been watching ignite whatever What is this? 2015. It's the big confab Microsoft has going on in Chicago, it ends I think tomorrow. What is the point of Ignite? Is to show all these developers or IT professionals It's to listen to the way I see it. This is what I think, excellent presentations there's no question about it. It's a beautiful event they do a terrific job they got little TV show in between and they have all almost everything has been recorded and you go back and what's cool about the stream which I'm going to tell people if they're gonna do streaming and I can think of an operation nearby that does streaming and they don't do this they should. The stream kind of comes to you buffered

19:47 like pre-buffered, so you're seeing live but if you go to look at the bar an hour previous to live is on there that you could skim back... You can skim the thing backwards. Which may just be an optical illusion or a interface illusion however it's buffered somehow so you can get I don't think it's on your machine instantaneously I don't think it's on the machine either, whatever the case. And I said that again you can go back and like you turn it on there is a presentation going on and who is this guy? You can back it up to where they began to talk. Nice! And I find that very good most of the thing most of the Ignite event seem to have too much of this play MSFT Ignite

20:33 Okay, good afternoon Firstly my name is Ruben Kripner director of product management on the OneDrive team Secondly I need a change of underwear because the Wi-Fi dropped on the demo machine about 45 seconds ago So it was gonna be a very quick session considering most of my session is demo related so Don't say that dick. That's every time mmm Every time somebody gave it the cloud was there was everybody you're talking to a group of everybody online now question This is different than a developer conference. They had last week yeah, this is different so it's but it's also developers and

21:15 IT professional okay, I can help I got one. I go they can plan right This is where the real party is because they're buyers this to me This was a more major event their buyers so they get the hookers And I'm watching it and then I really came to appreciate one drive after this guy's demo He did get his Wi-Fi connection back, but there were failing left or right? There's the cloud for you It doesn't work yeah But okay, we're stuck with it. And so I got a very good because he walked you through all the features and the new stuff that they're slip streaming in and what they're going to do Microsoft this is where they announced are not gonna do patch Tuesday anymore They're just gonna keep inundating you with patches all 24 7

21:56 Which is good to know, but I wrote a column about this saying that this is like... And I cited you as an example. Uh-oh! I said this is what the Apple guys do they just slipstream these changes in and it did what it does if you have anything that is kind of custom tuned for what was doesn't work anymore And I specifically mentioned the No Agenda show and cited what happens to you about once every two or three months. Yeah, there's some...and it's not...of course you can decide not to take your updates but- I think you can with Microsoft too. And I do, I have a lot of failures. And then I started looking at some of the stuff they were showing and demoing and saying you know I'm always so critical this company and listen to these guys... Time to turn over a new leaf if you thought yourself that way? I was thinking about it. And then like nah I don't think so! Then I started really listening to some of these presentations

Tesla Gigafactory, Lithium Production Process

Bloomberg TV's Alix Steel provides a report on the Tesla Gigafactory and the global lithium supply. The production process for lithium involves extracting it from brine over a two-year evaporation period, eventually pounding the material into a white powder that the reporter compared to the appearance of cocaine.

22:53 It's Microsoft all over again, version three. Here is what we're gonna do! Look at how this is going to work next year." And they were showing all these tremendous features and products that are just dynamite but none of this stuff is in play it's all coming and that's Microsoft. That's interesting I was watching Bloomberg TV And the main reason to watch Bloomberg is this girl Alex Steele. Have you ever seen her? Nope, but I love her. Alex with an i-a-l-i-x Steele which is a DJ name if I've ever heard one Hey everybody! Alec Steele with ya how are you doing it's time to talk about lithium and the segment which was...is a long segment You can find in the show notes 719er.noagendanotes.com Findable via archive.noagendanotes.com

23:46 The whole segment is about the Gigafactory, Tesla Power's Gigafactory. And this girl apparently knows a lot about how lithium is made and yet the question was will there be a shortage of lithium? I'll play the current technology piece on how lithium is made. that this is what it takes to get some lithium. And the question is, of course if you're turning out a billion lithium cells ultimately which is why it's called the Giga factory or the Gigaplex whatever they're calling it... It was called the gigafactory because the size is going to be a million square feet that's the reason she says in this which I don't think I have on the clip is that it was giga because it was going to be a billion batteries. I'm just repeating what she said I don't know yeah I don't believe that's true and

24:37 And it does take, well here listen to the lithium production. Right so in terms of the actual reserves that they know is there that's 13 million tons so there is enough out there It just takes quite a long time to get it out. It takes about five years every five years about one or two projects wind up coming on stream. It takes about a year and half to about 2 years actually get the lithium out of brine which is basically salty water The sun has to sit on it for two years for it to evaporate. Then you take the lithium and then you have to add a lot of stuff to it, and then you pound into what winds up looking like cocaine." Wait a minute! What? You pounded in it starts looking like what?! Right...you stepped on it. Hold on. Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine! "...a lot of stuff to it," and then you pounded into what winds up looking like cocaine. Oh that explains it! I was wondering why did do I was down instead of up

25:28 snort lithium What this is how that's what she said, that's how lithium is made. You pound it you pound it you pound until looks like cocaine Then you know it's done good to go send it off the Texas To the gigafactory Lithium is a metal It's like sodium which is assault get a periodic chart to make sure I'm not saying something stupid Yeah well doesn't matter because they will say your stupid anyway on the reddit Just kidding. It's true not always No, it's fine. I don't care no no no It's elemental three Hold on a second of all the things she could have said she could have said looks like baking soda Looks like so is fine now She said cocaine which which is a tell I think on her part? The lightest metal it isn't at least dense solid element

STEM Education, Tesla Coil Teacher Arrest

A teacher in Salem, Oregon, was arrested after using a Tesla coil to create temporary "Happy Mother's Day" marks on students' skin during a physics demonstration. This incident is cited as an example of how modern safety regulations and "STEM police" discourage hands-on scientific experimentation, contrasting with the more permissive era of complex home chemistry sets.

stem· chemistry sets· tesla coil· salem oregon· science education

26:29 Like all alkaline metals, lithium is highly reactive and flammable. Sodium used to... which we never had when you take it nowadays You know people oh stem stem the stem Science technology engineering and math yes when I was a kid We used to have chemistry sessions Hold on a second can you I want to do something when you say this? That's why find it to be important hold on a sec okay Say it again When I was a kid We're back. I used to be able to buy chemistry sets. Yes, I had them! Used to be some are very elaborate...I had a pretty big one A friend of mine who wanted to get a bigger one His parents were more conservative and didn't like the idea of him having all these dangerous chemicals because you could blow up the house if you really had a good set Good? Yeah By the time i had my set it was no good That was because they took them off the market

27:23 No, I still had a set early on. It's just there was nothing... Yeah but they didn't have the good stuff in it. I had sulfur, I had sodium pentothal That right yeah, I think that's how you would know sodium pentothal it wouldn't be in a chemistry set Some bamboo things you can stick under fingernail some sodium penethyl make him tell the truth Light detector kit. Yeah sure my parents gave me that kid for whatever they and I'm not gonna say it I had a real chemistry set and you could blow things up and have a lot of fun with it. It's probably toxic in some way... Dr. Seheultein But particularly with sulfur, if you had sulfur then you could do some cool stuff. Dr. O'Reilly But now now you can't do that. So kids can't do any experimentation they can't do anything at home because it's too dangerous. And so we're pushing STEM but we're really not. We were pulling back from it the best example is this story from Salem Oregon that just yeah I don't have a clip for it by just have this story No charges for teacher arrested

28:24 after Tesla coil burn. Now what the teacher did was he was showing kids some physics and had a Tesla coil, and I didn't know this... Hold on a second! Is Tesla even approved material for today's Slavelets? The Tesla coil the thing that has all this I know what a tesla coil is but Tesla of course holds A lot of the secrets they're actually allowing these children to investigate Tesla. I'm shocked arrest the teacher No, well yeah, you sure did was he created a little gimmicky? electrical discharge that would kind of singe in some very minor way the skin yeah and

29:01 And he made a kind of template that said, Happy Mother's Day with a heart. That they could go home and show their mom and it would go away after about two or three days but it looked like... It wasn't like a tattoo I don't know exactly what these look like. It's very light to...it's probably more carbon deposit than a burn. Something like that so you hit like Mom and happy mother's day and they arrested the guy! Amen. Fist bump! Good work! This is STEM, this is where STEM is headed A guy is showing kids something very interesting They like it they're having a good time The STEM police come out and arrest the guy again They throw him in the slammer STEM Police

29:49 I just thought it was so hilarious because they're all STEM, STEM, STEM. And then you know...and that's the same thing with the chemistry says that's why how kind of made that segue. You can't do STEM in this country because kids are kept away from science. Of course! All right let's come back to future or present I should say. We're back from your being a kid good work yeah well i was very upset this week not really like totally upset but i was surprised and in a way upset Of all the things going on, all the things we can talk about my Obama bot friends without fail four of them all said... Well hold on. I have four All is the operative word you could've been ten could have been three could have been two ALL is the operative word it's always going to be ALL Okay yes your right Four of them You're pointing out your redundancy Yes Four of them which is the maximum amount of Obama bots I know in Austin

The sudden death of SurveyMonkey CEO David Goldberg in Mexico is examined, focusing on discrepancies in official reports regarding the location and timing of the incident. Potential theories discussed include a treadmill accident resulting in head trauma, or friction involving animal rights activists angry over SurveyMonkey's donations to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).

30:47 emailed me with a query about some newsworthy item. Can you guess what it is? Well, if it was somebody on the ball they'd probably be querying you about the British elections. Let me think... No no no nope come on Hillary? Nope I don't know David Goldberg What about David Goldberg? Cheryl Sandburg's husband who died. Oh, but Goldberg dropping dead so without fail what do you think really happened oh please oh yeah and because of that I decided to dive in because no one else is doing it so i might as well. Well you might as well cause I wasn't going too right and um... Bill before you go on I do have some friends that are they're not pure

31:43 pure-blood Obama bots, but there are ones that progressive and the other one's a kind of loosely structured Democrat. And an email thing went around about this guy. One of them suggesting some foul play. And it went back and forth because one of the people in this exchange ex wife's husband dropped dead in a gym A cardiac arrest probably. Of a cardiac arrest, he was peddling away and then just dropped dead massive failure type death. Right. Another friend of mine I threw this into the conversation and it did the whole conversation disappeared after this. A friend of mine who used to work at PC Magazine as one of the editors and he was in his mid 40's I believe and exercise nut and he used to work in the Pentagon

32:34 He was fit. He was fit and he's doing his daily jog and has a massive heart attack right in the middle of it And I ran into him shortly after this he was shook by this by the way is a reggie look like crap because he says why do everything, right? I know I had a heart attack. I would anything tells me you would have died Except that his he was jogging with his cardiologist by coincidence That helps Anyway, go on. Sorry. Yeah so for people to this to be the and the reason why of course is he's dropped dead or he's dead and there was no reason given for maybe 36 hours that took too long

33:18 And... Mexico, wasn't he? Yes. In Mexico. Expecting it. Right and so this gave of course because it's Sheryl Sandberg It was on the big news everyone was so sad and not a mention of anything Of course because it took so long there was like he committed suicide all these different things Because I received this request from for the maximum amount possible of Obama bots I would like to give them, just...I did some research on their behalf. Not that they donate to the show but on their behalf I did some research So there's really three possibilities based upon my research of which i feel one is certainly interesting The first one, of course

33:58 is he went to the little gym room, but he got on the treadmill and somehow maybe he fainted and then fell backwards because it was massive head trauma according to the official reports. And he had hypovolemic shock. Are you familiar with this? No! It means a fluid It was so depleted in your body that your body goes into shock and you die. And in this case it would be he was bleeding out from the head, so that's pretty major...you know? That's a big wound and there were some information that came out for that totally possible! That is the story totally possible that happened

34:44 Here are the things that are, there's some discrepancies and some things that were interesting. And that's why I kind of...no actually this the second thing I did is I looked at his company SurveyMonkey and could there have been some kind of dispute? Some kind of lawsuit anything that could go on he took the company He raised a whole bunch of money, like I think five or $600 million instead of taking the company public and that flowed out to initial investors. So he's an unconventional way of doing things Silicon Valley wise but it's a very profitable company and could there be some bad blood? Here is what I found there so this would be possibility number two.

35:23 Every... Only on no agenda. Oh yeah, oh yeah! And it's morbid of course but you know that is what people want so I'm giving it to you. It's what non-donating douchebags wanna hear so here ya go. Okay. This one's for you. They have 50 cents off each SurveyMonkey survey taken or done they donate 50 cents to charity And this is apparently, I've never used SurveyMonkey but a couple people spoke to it. Yeah, remember that? And the charity they prefer to give to is the Humane Society of America the HSUS, which is anything but a society for animals. It is a lobbying group if you have a humane society in your town there is no connection and very little money ever flows from the Humane Society it's one of those douchebag groups that we don't know I've know about this yes they're douchebags and there are quite a number of

36:23 animal rights activists and animal rights groups who are very mad about this 50 cent donation which adds up to a lot of money. There's only one group I'm more afraid of than pedophile politicians. Pedophile lobbyists? And that's animal rights activists, they can go nuts and they can kill anybody! This is well documented so maybe someone was so pissed off...I have a tonne of links in the show notes for you to look at this back and forth there are lawsuits all kinds of stuff going on Yeah, one of them could have been at the gym in Mexico because they're caring about animals there and they saw him. They knew him. They recognized him. Could be. He started getting into an argument he's walking along on that thing and they say well you suck! And they push him backwards and then crack his head open. Could be or lead pipe to the head who knows? That could be we don't know exactly... Of course is Mexico

37:20 The hypovolemic shock became out with the... there wasn't even an autopsy done as far as I know at that point. And we received most of our information from his brother, Robert Goldberg And the story, initially the story was David Goldberg went to the gym to work out and at seven his brother Robert found him very weak vital signs. It was like a hotel gym? Yes but they were not so this is another thing that made it complicated This Mexican official had said they were at the Four Seasons. The Four Seasons said, nope no one by Goldberg Sandburg here so apparently they rented something nearby but then they have access to the Four Seasons facilities

38:05 Then the story changed later Let me get this straight Well, okay. I just stay with guys over there saving money and then sneaking into the four seasons to use the gym no No, that's what I'm saying. This is not no no that's pretty you're missing the obvious But okay, I'll continue on I already do missing the big obvious one. I am I am Now, of course just because they're not registered doesn't mean it couldn't be a different name etc. But then later that turned... Well stay with me Mr Chuckle! Then later the story changed 630 instead of 7 o'clock I'm not sure why is just whenever half hour changes like that in the official reporting and I was a little interested

38:54 Now what is odd about this? They were on vacation. Who's they? Cheryl and husband David. Oh, Cheryl was with him? Yes they were both on vacation. Obviously I didn't follow the story that closely And they're on vacation and then something horrible happens What town was it? It's okay... What town were they in? It doesn't matter Was it a resort town or there a vacationing there? Secret deals being done Do you want to know my theory because its not relevant Shut up! Not relevant Oh shut up Jesus hard enough for me to get it out Okay, okay again so they're there that something happens then he dies in the hospital and the spoke and his brother Robert Goldberg is speaks to everyone on the behalf of The family and miss Goldberg their I'm Robert Goldberg. He was with them two finally ha ha That's what I said

CHAPTER 10 / 36 Discussion

Sheryl Sandberg Relationship, Robert Goldberg Theories

The relationship dynamics between Sheryl Sandberg and David Goldberg are analyzed alongside the professional history of David's brother, Robert Goldberg. Robert's company, which handled digital currency for Facebook, was sold to Topps in 2011. Speculative theories are presented regarding Robert's presence during the couple's vacation and the lack of a formal autopsy following David's death.

sheryl sandberg· robert goldberg· lean in· facebook· topps

39:47 Okay, I said hold on a second if they're on vacation. What is Robert Goldberg doing there? Yeah, the threesome Maybe we don't know about oh, I think it's even worse Let us listen to the David Goldberg in conversation with, this may have been Bloomberg about his family life work-life balance. Early on in your relationship you guys are long distance right? Yeah Is there any tricks for that because I've mentioned a lot of people like an executive or even lower level it's not easy to make a long distance relationship work and you guys were pretty far apart right? Yeah when we first met

40:23 We were both in LA, but we weren't dating then. And then Cheryl six months after we met moved to DC and we never dated at that point in time but I think certainly I thought about it sort of like how are you going to start dating coast-to-coast between LA and DC? So when we actually did start dating it was very clear that You know, we had to be in the same place as much as possible. So I lost... That makes sex easier! It's the coin flip where you're gonna live and so I started commuting and that's hard but you know as long as you're pretty committed to it that I live in San Francisco and I just work in LA

41:02 And do you have rules inside the house or is it just sort of evolved? Do you guys have a set of rules to dictate that work-life balance? It's not rules, but I think we have a family calendar and we plan out what the schedule is. A list! We book stuff on the shared calendar That's how we manage stuff and it all kind of works out in the end Now, so they've had a living together apart relationship for many many years and I believe he still commutes if not all the time regularly to Los Angeles. And they manage their life with lists and a shared calendar. Sounds great to me! Oh yeah sexy

41:45 Now, they married in 2004 the same year that Sheryl Sandberg divorced her first husband after one year of marriage. There's nothing to find there about that. It didn't work out but then... So you have to kind of be coming from a number of relationships marriages etc., I can say if you're getting divorced in the same year as your getting married probably is something going on there and- Is this suspect? Well it means you were having an affair with this guy Let me read to you from Sheryl Sandberg's book, quote.

42:22 When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is to date all of them. The bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys but do not marry them! The things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. When it comes time to settle down find someone who wants an equal partner someone who thinks women should be smart opinionated and ambitious Someone also values fairness and expects or even better wants to share in the home These men exist and trust me over time nothing is sexier Take a look at Robert Goldberg's LinkedIn and you can find it. I should have given you a link, but it's as Robert Goldberg He's in Santa Monica and I shall read this Well, I don't read the whole thing But so he started out in 94 with that look at his picture by the way he is kind of across between The Big Lebowski and Randy Quaid in National Lampoon's Christmas vacay. Is he president of the startup factory? No

43:20 No, San Francisco Bay Area. No Robert Goldberg and associates and from Cal State Northridge, and I go in that school And he has a picture with you like doing like a gang sign He's doing the gang sign The problem is on it. I don't since you didn't give me a link I got a million Robert Robert Goldberg do Robert Goldberg and What is it GMG entertainment? That's not gonna help okay well mg Entertainment might have gold marketing group You can try that Anyway, so he has a couple of... It's 10 pages of these guys out here. It really doesn't matter. Okay well go on keep talking So it starts off with a little trading company in Cape Town South Africa because this guy is nut job then his launch media where he did packaging programming so he worked for his brother that was the first David Goldberg vehicle then you started the gold marketing group which

44:14 GMG provides strategic consulting turnkey implementation to companies such as Target Zone. That sounds like something Ron Bloom would have written and then he comes up with this idea almost simultaneously with getting a huge deal, and it's these digital currency cards And somehow this now comes into, he's developing this and in 2011 the Topps company very large successful trading card company. They acquire him... Hold on a second so I found his picture he's got a gang sign or some V or some horse crap He's got a douchebag goatee mustache

45:00 Mm-hmm, and he's got his mouth kind of like Yeah, he's a douchebag yeah But he's a bad boy is what I'm saying. He's the bill definitely a bad boy Okay, or he wants to be or he's one of these bogus bogus bad boy a BBG BBG What happens in 2011? Bogus bad what happens in 2011 seven years after the marriage consummated between Sandberg and Goldberg the seven-year itch, I'm just pointing it out. Seven years which is a fact. He sells his company to Topps. Robert? Yes because they have and partially because they have as one of their biggest clients for digital currency cards Facebook. Oh coincidence! I think not

45:52 So when I put all of this together and the lack of autopsy, there really is a lot missing information. And boy... You know, I've looked at probably 20 or 30 videos and reports about treadmills. And there's a lot of stuff that happens people's fingers get caught and nasty things happen. It's really about...I think the average is six deaths a year related to treadmills. Yeah especially landing on the back of your head with enough force so you bleed out from the head. Yeah that's not good no

46:29 The third theory I have is, and this is where the half hour comes in. Cheryl is having an affair with the brother which happens because he's around... He's doing his thing. He's on vacation! Well here's the question was he on vacation there Separately, with them? Did he just show up? None of these things we know. So you're suggesting the possibility exists and should be looked into that they were on vacation and unbeknownst to David Robert was in the neighborhood That and or... Robert looks crazy enough to kill his brother Nah well For money? You don't know man He's always been the loser brother I would more likely if i was going to go in that direction

47:20 I would go into the... The little, like Robert would be the guy staying at the Four Seasons. That's what I'm thinking. Because he has got the money looks like to type He doesn't have a lot of money. He doesn't have David money though. David would be sneaking into the Four Seasons Here is how I write his novel and this is totally fictional We have no idea if this is true we just wanted to show people... We don't want to get sued by Robert who is the living brother You can toss any topic at me and will find something for you here Now here is what happens Robert, who's this? It was a big spender is the tough guy. He's the guy who said he's at the four seasons. He doesn't think you should go to some local motel and then sneak into the four seasons now. So so David sneaks into the four seasons using the gym. And Robert apparently I would say the whole family is probably exercise oriented because when you're in Mexico traveling why are you looking for a gym? He doesn't look very exercise oriented

48:18 my friend. No he doesn't, but let's say that he is okay? He goes into the little gym and he sees his brother on the treadmill! Since he's in there to have an affair with the wife, he realizes that the jig is up. The brother sees him and starts yelling at him. What are you doing here? This happens at 630. They're fighting in the gym at 630 and it's 7. He's already hammered his head. Well here's the way I see it if you wanted to make it funnier. Okay please. Robert comes in they start yelling at each other but David because he's gotta get his minutes in stays on the treadmill

48:56 So he's yelling at his brother while running on the treadmill instead of getting off. And then they start digging into a beef and Robert just pushes him because they're angry with each other, and then goes flying off busses head in. Robert freaks out for half an hour. He's freaking out for half. Yeah, I got to have it hard because I just imagine Randy Quaid, you know? Oh man what do we gonna do? I killed Dennis! Okay, I don't know. I don't know either but... I would say that the stumbled upon is why was Robert in this town where they were having a vacation or the Twosome were having their annual vacation or get together whatever it was? I'm suspicious too now

49:39 And beyond all this, one of our producers sent me an email from the Sony WikiLeaks archive. Very smart to think hey let me see if David Goldberg's in there and I put a link to this in the show notes it is an entire strategy sent from David Goldberg to Michael Linton, the president of Sony Entertainment about how to fix their music division make it wildly profitable And I will just tell you the bottom line, his idea is pretty much stop all new releases. Don't spend any more money on new music if you can make it all off the catalog

50:18 And Michael Linton seems very interested. So it's something fun to read. Music is dead, yeah and changing licensing and really robber baronish about the music industry not a good guy in his thinking about how to help further music as an art form so that's just... No why would you be your business man? Yeah I'm just saying But there you go, so that's my little analysis. Robert has some explaining to do. Probably not going to hear it but... We're not gonna hear any explaining from Cheryl

50:58 Well, if they...if Cheryl and Robert eventually if there's something there or it could happen now you know they might get together. That's never gonna happen. Okay My prediction is that this I think Cheryl Sandberg is an animal that's what I'm saying She got out of the picture I bet she's nuts in bed don't you think? No Oh pffft come on Well I'm glad you feel that way Yeah that's exactly how I feel But she...I just don't see her being nuts in bed You might be right but Nah, she seems like a chatterbox. Good one. Well, we mentioned music play hip-hop in the history of music Hip hop and the history of music coming at you courtesy of John C Duborek And in a finding sure to trigger endless debate A British study concludes hip hop has had the most profound effect on pop music In the last half century

CHAPTER 11 / 36 Discussion

Hip Hop Influence, British Music Study

A British study analyzing 17,000 songs from 1960 to 2010 concludes that hip hop has had a more profound impact on pop music chord patterns and instrumentation than the Beatles or the British Invasion. This finding is met with skepticism, alongside a critique of modern Billboard 100 music for lacking memorable hooks or melodies.

hip hop· pop music· british study· beatles· taylor swift

52:00 Researchers analyzed roughly 17,000 songs from 1960 through 2010. They say hip-hop's influence on chord patterns and instrumentation was even greater than the Beatles' and the rest of the British invasion in the 1960s. This is bullshit! Come on. It's science, the science is in. Oh my now that's horrible. The science is in police! Chord changes... They take existing tracks- it started with a lot of existing tracks and then wrapping over that I mean how? Fine You just don't want to admit it. I don't want to admit it The 80s are over That's for sure

52:46 I was listening to some collections recently, I actually mentioned this to you of music because i like to kind of keep up and that's when I ran into this Taylor Swift song that I actually liked. I must have listened to two or three hundred hot Billboard 100 type stuff it was terrible I didn't know. There's no beat, there are no hooks, nothing that you were used to. Nothing is memorable that you would hum. There is nothing to sing along to yourself and there is nothing that would get you off your chair or ass.

53:24 It's horrible, the music. The purest dance music is kind of deteriorated into trance where I guess you take a lot of ecstasy and that your dancing while on... You need to do it again! Just say when i was a kid go ahead say it say it When I was a Kid Alright enough of that Enough of that but I got other things to talk about than you hating 80s You had the big, uh... The huge horn-rimmed glasses in the 80s. Come on! I had what was ever trendy in the 80's which is just huge horn rim and they weren't horn rimmed No they weren't but they were big They were big, they're huge Massive, massive But you're giant! Okay should we? I feel like I'd like to do some well What should we do? It's gonna be short anyway

Bernie Sanders Campaign, Bank Regulation Platform

Senator Bernie Sanders held a press conference addressing the growth of major financial institutions since the 2008 bailout. Sanders argued that JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo have become significantly larger and pose a catastrophic risk to the global economy, asserting that institutions "too big to fail" are "too big to exist."

bernie sanders· jp morgan chase· bank of america· wells fargo· too big to fail

1:05:21 This is the kind of- this is why we're the best podcast in the universe. We got the best producers out there, it's that simple! And if you do need your help please go to... And of course we always need your help going out there propagating- Nice Hold on a second. Are you still there? Yeah, do we like any of the politicians? It's funny because I did record... I think I still like Gary Johnson He is not running Oh well! I don't believe he is running this cycle. I caught onto couple other things now that you bring that up Because a couple other people have, a number certainly from Republican party have declared but also Let me see where to add this here we go

1:06:26 Just a lot going on. But, of course the big news really what we should be looking at but it's weird timing for us is the UK elections and we'll talk about that in a bit... Yeah I got some stuff about that. So to let me see... Well I gotta kick out just throw in before forget it. In fact they started looking at The Independent which is one of the papers over there. I didn't realize it was anything but independent And they just... That's like Federal Reserve is anything but federal. Yes, good point and they hate Farage, Nigel Farage to an extreme. I guess just before the polls opened up somebody made this huge accusation that Farage... Huge babies!

1:07:14 What that he eats babies no, he's homophobic. Oh yeah of course Of course go to the bottom yeah, of course Go to the bottom ah I got it oh you have a clip for this nice No do I know? I'm sorry So, happening here... We had...so Huckabee is now has now announced. Yeah we have to dig into this there's some reason that these guys are running... Oh I think the sake money... yeah i think just get a lot of marketing A lot of these I think got a clip from Bernie Sanders as well they're also meant to draw the real front runners into certain areas

1:08:00 So Bernie Sanders would, if he's going up against... Hillary Clinton in the primary, he will draw her much more toward the left. And these are all strategies I'm convinced... Sure there must be something with the money but there's a lot of strategies that run and Ron Paul was also really misused whether he knew it or not in helping Romney become the loser. Exactly! Here's Huckabee...I'm sorry here's Sanders And his platform, first of all Sanders who is a interesting guy independent in Vermont. But they're making him look like Mr. Coo-Coo Cookie!

1:08:41 The pictures you see of him with like all wide-eyed, and like I have an old crazy man trying to tell ya if the banks are too big to fail. We gotta stop on coot running. He also needs someone to produce his press conferences with real audio. I fear very much that the financial system is even more fragile than many people may perceive this huge issue simply cannot be swept under the rug. It has got to be addressed." During the financial crisis of 2008, the American people were told that they needed to bail out huge financial institutions because they were too big to fail yet today

1:09:25 Three out of the four financial institutions, three out of the four largest financial institutions in this country JP Morgan Chase Bank of America and Wells Fargo are 80% larger than they were on September 30th 2007 a year before the taxpayers of this country bailed them out. Good work Elizabeth Warren! And by the way when... This is where he's already off the rails here When you say they're 80% larger, what he's trying to explain is that they have assets which are really outstanding assets from the financial system. They don't…

1:10:05 wake up one day with 80% more money in their bank. This is all spreadsheet stuff and their assets of course are debts, credits owed to them through financial products that's what he should have said but now it sounds like oh they're really successful why would you want to fuck with him? So we bailed out the largest financial institutions in this country because they were too big to fail and today three out of four largest are now much larger than they were when we bailed them out. Incredibly, during that time JPMorgan Chase has increased its assets by more than a trillion dollars Bank of America by more than 500 billion and Wells Fargo acquired Morcovia it has more than tripled its size. Wait wait guys to interrupt I want to hear your analysis

1:10:56 But these cameras. I know Why do they all go off at once and then they stop, there's nothing Oh i know why they're going off at once because- Is he picking his nose? What's the deal Yeah he's making a crazy old coot face OH THAT'S IT And why are the camera sounds so clear and audible as opposed to he sounds like he's in a bucket? Does it make any sense, like they're micing the cameras. Because what he didn't do is create a pool audio and video that's what you do if your professional So everyone can get good sound at least they can have their own video if they want It's lame. It's not a real serious attempt In other words If any of these financial institutions were to fail again

1:11:36 that taxpayers of this country would be on the hook for another bailout, perhaps even larger than the last one. We must not allow that to happen. No single financial institution should be so large that its failure would cause catastrophic risk to millions of Americans or to our nation's economic well-being. No single financial institution should have holdings so extensive that it's failure would send the world economy into crisis. If an institution is too big to fail, it is too big to exist and that is the bottom line." Alright well this is gonna go nowhere Bernie! This is not a strategy for winning because the only place you can get money to even participate is from the banks That's why this won't be discussed

CHAPTER 15 / 36 Discussion

Mike Huckabee, George Stephanopoulos Interview

Mike Huckabee appeared on Good Morning America, where he confronted host George Stephanopoulos regarding his past as a Clinton operative. Huckabee discussed his experience running against the "Clinton machine" in Arkansas and his strategy for the 2016 presidential race.

mike huckabee· george stephanopoulos· clinton machine· arkansas· 2016 election

1:12:30 This is true in the insurance companies. It's impossible... Looking back on this, you got these guys like this guy and I think I'm not gonna go back and think of Ron Paul. Do you remember when Ron Paul was running? And there was some memo that leaked from some enforcement agency saying anyone who put him on the watch list if they're Ron Paul supporters. Yes. No it was a directive it was called... It was a law enforcement agency directive. Wow, this is going back I'm not sure... Maybe the chat room will remember what it's called. Yeah it had a specific name. The chat room will know. And is it just possible that some of these candidates are used as honeypots to see? To bring out crazies?

1:13:19 Yeah, to isolate the crazies because anyone who would go along with Bernie Sanders and even think of voting for him or supporting him or signing up for his newsletter or giving him money. I would put them on a watch list Yeah. It turned into Patriots, it turned...Ron Paul of course had the original Tea Party which was a money bomb fundraising initiative in Boston on the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party and I got hijacked! Well done hijacking by the way. I was hit by two or three different organizations Tea Party Express, American... blah blah blah. There's a... I can't remember it. But of course this is why you need your No Agenda show because we'll weed through the crap and pick out the things that are really important all of this is just bullcrap. So don't get on Bernie's mailing list. Huckabee let me do Huckabee now Huckabee is being interviewed by... Another one! Yeah buying... Now Huckabee has had a couple years of radio experience so he's now a much better speaker He's a CG2 Sorry?

1:14:22 He's got a TV show too. Right, so he has experience now and he is interviewed by Stephanopoulos on ABC Good Morning America. Stephanopoulos of course as we know A Clinton operative and I have to give Huckabee a little shoulder you know a little amen fist bump here for calling Stephanopoulos out in a sly mean way Like Bill Clinton you were born in Hope Island Arkansas, that's where you announced yesterday night. We looked at your website and you have this t-shirt you're selling right now, Defeat the Clinton Machine. What do you know about challenging the Clintons that others may not?

1:15:11 Well, first of all as you well know from having worked for them the Clintons know how to win and they play to win. They play hard they answer every attack immediately and vociferously they don't hold anything back when I ran in Arkansas I ran against what had been built up as really a Clinton machine I mean they own the politics of this state. They'd gone to Washington by the time you were out. People forget that Bill Clinton had been governor for 12 years all those appointees everybody in state government he either hired him or he appointed him And so I inherited this extraordinary challenge of a democratic legislature that was 90% Democrat, the most lopsided in all of America. More than Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, California and Oregon. And so I walk into that environment but I was able to get things done because I learned how to govern in a difficult environment." Alright! Now Tucker B... no chance. Nice pitch! Yep. Excellent. And then just the moment suprême

CHAPTER 16 / 36 Discussion

Bill Clinton Meltdown, Foundation Funding Scrutiny

During an NBC Today Show interview in Africa, Bill Clinton defended the Clinton Foundation's acceptance of foreign donations from countries like Saudi Arabia. Clinton dismissed concerns over "perceptions" of conflict of interest and defended his high speaking fees as a means of maintaining personal independence and paying legal bills.

bill clinton· clinton foundation· saudi arabia· speaking fees· nbc today show

1:16:09 As Bill Clinton comes out with an entirely beautifully pre-packaged, pre-produced initiative to put the The Clinton Foundation, inappropriate funding donations of favors done when Hillary was in the State Department put it to rest and he brings the entire today not the entire crew but he brings Today Show NBC to Africa and doing beautiful little pieces. We got a little black babies with hearing aids like I can hear for the first time is amazing oh just beautiful and it's like two seven minute packages

1:16:47 Then, of course there's some interviews there with Bill himself and we've already noticed that he is losing his shit. And even though it's hard to really...you gotta notice it and no agenda ears will pick this up but its a meltdown of sorts that happened on this and so what I did was cut out all the fluff and then left with just a couple minutes of just questions asked of Bill and this of course is THE number one Mr Performative Expert ever! To remind you what a performative is, when certainly a politician says well I believe it is completely legal or the fact of the matter. You can say any of these things...it doesn't actually mean that what you're saying is true or truthful. You're just saying let me say this to you. Let me say this about that there you go done! That's a performative and that is a performative. You can't even count the number of performatives in this

1:17:42 But it was the whole thing, and I think you might have seen a little piece where he's defending his speaking fees. I found all of the interview bits to be interesting... Well you mean that half a million dollars he gets to speak at private little events just so coincidentally need help? Yeah. But from our government? Let's listen to his meltdown, we can stop as appropriate. Former President Bill Clinton is making no apologies as he tore some of the African programs his foundation has raised billions to help fund I don't think there's anything sinister in trying to get wealthy people and countries that are seriously involved in development to spend their money wisely in a way that helps poor people and lifts them up

1:18:24 I like poor people. Like me, like me! Poor people like me!" He doesn't say who it actually helps just poor people and by the way chat room yeah of course if we stopped at every performative on this show we'd never get the show done so don't tell me what i'm doing now. I think it's good but his wife's run for president has triggered a new level of scrutiny and criticism there has been a very deliberate attempt to take the foundation down This is interesting he's saying that someone is actually trying to take the foundation down very deliberate attempt this was Finger pointing, kind of. Almost no new facts Over half of the donors giving $5 million or more are foreign, many of them foreign governments. Under mounting pressure the foundation recently announced it will only take money from six Western countries Is that an acknowledgement that it was a mistake not to stop the other foreign donations before your wife ran for president? No absolutely not It's an acknowledgment

1:19:22 come as close as we can during her presidential campaign to following the rules that she followed when she became Secretary of State. It's interesting how it's almost kind of, we're doing our best, as close as we can... He defended the 10-25 million dollars given by Saudi Arabia I don't think that i did anything against the interests of United States. Woah! I don't think I did anything? I don't? Okay, well know you don't Bill Think that I did anything against the interests of the United States? Pffft Pretty damn broad. Do you understand that the perception itself is a problem? No, you don't know I look I don't want to get into the weeds here Listen now he gets me to get pissed on I'm gonna pull this back He's getting pissed and look I don't want to get into the weeds here. I'm not responsible for anybody else's perception I asked Hillary about this and she said you know no one's ever tried to influence me by helping you But I influenced what does the word influence even mean

1:20:22 Influence? How about just getting shit done. Influences is the incorrect word No one has even suggested they have a shred of evidence to that effect There's never been anything like the Clinton Global Initiative where you raised over $100 billion worth of stuff It helped 430 million people in 180 countries Wow, 430 million people in... Did he say 80 or 180 countries? 180 180 countries! The initiative where you raised over 100 billion dollars worth of stuff help 430 million people in 180 countries. You certainly didn't grow up wealthy, but you've become a wealthy man? I have and one of the most amusing things of all... What could one of the most amusing things of all be? Is everybody saying well how can Hillary possibly relate to the currents of middle-class America because now we have money

1:21:12 I mean, it's laughable. It's okay if you inherit your money apparently then you can help people. Ooh Romney! I'm grateful for our success but let me remind you when we moved into the White House We had the lowest net worth of any family since Harry Truman Yeah, this has got to stop. When they came out according to Hillary don't forget that we have the clip she was they were broke oh yeah flat broke now all of a sudden he's worth almost a billion dollars doing what? When you left you had 14 million dollars in legal bills or more that's okay we paid them we've been very fortunate I give 10 percent of my revenue off the top every year to the foundation and Hillary in the years she was there gave 17

1:21:51 Over the last 15 years. I've taken almost no capital gains To pay my bills and because I got to pay my bill shut in the Working Americans look and say $500,000 for why shouldn't every it's the most it's the most independence I can get this is interesting But he says it's the most independence I can get and I believe he's talking about Hillary like If I don't have this money, my own money. If i dont have it ill be a complete slave to the woman. It's the most independence that I can get. If I had business relations with somebody they would have target on their back from day they did business with me till the end Any kind of disclosure is a target

1:22:42 But it looks bad. There's no facts, of course but it looks bad. I work hard on this. I spend a couple hours a day just doing the research. People like to hear me speak and I have turned down a lot of them if I think there is something wrong with it, I don't take it and I do disclose who gave them to you so people can make up their own mind So she's now running for president will you continue to give speeches? Oh yeah! I gotta pay our bills Now wait for it If your wife has elected President will you step down from the foundation Well, I'll decide if it's the right thing to do. Why might you step down if she were elected president? Well, I might if I were asked to do something in the public interest that I had an obligation or I might... Like being a vice-president of being Secretary of Defense or something good like that. By the way stepping down from this thing is a money making goldmine and not to be outdone

CHAPTER 17 / 36 Discussion

My Brother's Keeper Alliance, Obama Post-Presidency

President Obama announced the launch of the My Brother's Keeper Alliance, a private non-profit spin-off of his government initiative. The organization, led by former Deloitte CEO Joe Echevarria and supported by figures like Colin Powell and Eric Holder, has already secured $80 million in corporate commitments, raising questions about the ethics of fundraising for a private entity while still in office.

barack obama· my brother's keeper alliance· joe echevarria· colin powell· eric holder

1:23:39 I was blown away by President Obama, who came out and announced his own Clinton Global Initiative post- Oh yeah. He's gone into competition. But this is very... These guys, these elites have figured out... Clinton has perfected this idea. Other people have skirted around the concept of exploiting all these countries and saying, hey I did you a favor when I was president or my wife's gonna be president. We still got lobbyists like these guys they leave office and they become lobbyists because they know everybody. I can make things work well for you if you give us this many millions of dollars it's worth it to ya.

1:24:20 And no one has taken it to the extreme of Clinton and now they're looking at say, why not? Let's do it. So what I believe the Clinton Global Initiative started right after the Clintons left the White House President Obama is doing something very interesting. We had the My Brother's Keeper initiative, which was a complete administrative United States government initiative and it was called My Brothers...it's still called my brother's keeper and that it's a public-private partnership uh and it's a name that has been out there and it is associated with the president and now he announced brazenly

1:24:58 the My Brother's Keeper Alliance. So he is taking the My Brother's Keeper name that they have carefully built and has created a complete private funding a privately funded non-profit called the My Brother's Keeper Alliance. And this is very interesting what's going on in this little outfit, and they're starting with a nice little kitty of money which he will of course be working with the minute he leaves The White House. Here we go... Especially boys and young men So we've made enormous progress over the last year but today after months great work

1:25:38 on the part of a whole lot of people. We're taking another step forward with people from the private sector, coming together in a big way. Big way! We're here for the launch of My Brother's Keeper Alliance which is a new non-profit organization of private sector organizations and companies that have committed themselves to continue the work of opening doors for young people all our young people long after I've left office That's a big deal. You bet it is! Let's look at it. It will be run by Joe Echevarria, former chief executive of Deloitte

1:26:23 and he's going to be running it full time. They already have $80 million committed from American Express, Deloitte Discovery Networks...we know Discovery Networks they are a big propaganda arm but you know they are so huge there so tight closed down we've looked at them before these guys really move He's doing this while he is still in office? With an official United States government branding. That's what pisses me off! This is corruption at its highest level. And wait, Fox News, apparent news corp., will be donating money and they'll have some superstars on the board John Legend of course former Miami Heat star Alonzo Mourning

1:27:13 advisory council with, oh former Secretary of State Colin Powell because these guys are also all in on the common core crap. In fact Colin Powell runs a lot of the non-profits that are working with Pierce and all these people. Also former Attorney General Eric Holder, Cory Booker NFL player Jerome Bettis, Shaquille O'Neal. The drinking club with they expect to have 300 million dollars by the time the president's out of the White House. Good start! How can he be collecting money for some organization where it could be influencing legislation? That is a great question

1:27:59 I know. And no one meant... Come on! On one hand, you're excoriating the Clintons and then the other hand he still has a little ways to go is not entirely done. Hillary will take it to the next level if she gets in. She'll start collecting money right off the bat. I was just blown away and no one knows why did IBM give me all that money? And they look at them and got some legislation with all of them gave us the money because for the good of people Where'd that money go? It went into my pocket. The My Brother's Keeper Alliance... How can they, how did this is outrageous! Interesting. This is outrageous! Interesting absent from the announcement someone who has been such a proponent such a cheerleader so on board and he's not on the board He's not in the board on the advisory board Al Sharpton got screwed on this deal

1:28:49 There's probably too many people that are on those boards. But I went... Now remember, no Sharpton... Oh and Sharpton has got his own game! Sharpton... One of two things either Sharpton wanted to be rolled up into this and they said no you're too toxic because remember with all he's President Obama's number one guy He's always patting him on the shoulder good to see you here am i pal al So maybe it's a complete rivalry, maybe they're gonna take over the sharping game. Well no could be this too, could be this look Al we were gonna you got your own thing You just do that will make sure that you'll get a taste We give you a taste of the good stuff Yeah very nice

1:29:34 I find that disturbing. It's extremely disturbing! There is no way that can be okay, it just can't be okay No its not okay at all its a complete violation of everything this is corruption at its definition At its finest really Corruption at his finest? Holy mackerel So yeah he was trying to top Clinton Yeah but thats his legacy and it will be fine Well, it's all for the good of the... think of the children! It's for the children. I wasn't ready for that Think of the children Uh i can't do it that fast think of the time you can't do it that fast. I can do it too Oh man alright there's a this so much nutty stuff going around maybe we should talk about

CHAPTER 18 / 36 Discussion

Garland Texas Shooting, AFDI Cartoon Contest

A shooting occurred outside an American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) cartoon contest in Garland, Texas, involving two ISIS-inspired gunmen. Organizers Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer defended the event as a necessary stand for free speech against Sharia blasphemy laws, while critics questioned if the event was a deliberate provocation.

garland texas· pamela geller· geert wilders· robert spencer· afdi· isis

1:30:30 Garland, Texas. And what happened with Pamela Geller with Geert Wilders who of course is a Dutch politician and these two...well we've never seen anything other than a blowed up car and then we have these pictures of these so-called ISIS sympathizers What was your take on this? A couple things one I would it's very kind of poorly covered by the mainstream media for starters because it wasn't I don't think it was an established approved. Approved, yeah. Approves no. I would agree. So it wasn't approved and it wasn't on the list and it wasn't on the six week cycle and the FBI didn't have any involvement and of course

1:31:15 Which begs the question, since the FBI did have their eyes on these guys supposedly. And the NSA has got us all in a surveillance state How could this even happen? How is it not working? Yes of course! In other words, if the surveillance state doesn't work and the FBI doesn't do its job and the whole thing's a scam because...and what we try to propose The NSA and all the rest of the surveillance state stuff it just to make sure that the blackmail state stays in place. It's about blackmail, not about protecting us or otherwise they would have protected us against this although the Texans seem to have had a clue about that so but anyway it wasn't on the approved list so it didn't fall into and so they didn't get any attention except two guys were shot now I didn't do too much work on it I thought it was kind of a funny ironic situation and it was over

1:32:08 covered by the right wingers who make a big point about, oh you know this was how come we did we shoot? You know if everyone's armed and we can just shoot these guys then it wouldn't be a problem. I did do a little... yeah, I did a little research. First of all Garland Texas if you're familiar with the Dallas area and apologies anyone in Garland it's the ghetto of Dallas okay it's just the ghetto they have that they get doing this event in a kind of remotely located building and they claim they spent $50 000 on hiring security for the event which as it turns out was local SWAT

1:32:53 team. And right off the bat, I'm sad that...because I watched the whole event and all the speeches and it's really saying we are exercising our inherent right to free speech and making this point because we feel like we're being shoved into a slippery slope where if you can't draw cartoons like Charlie Hebdo you know, then we're going to have a whole bunch of freedom of speech issues. So it is a protest. It's an activist thing and I believe that Geert Wilders... he'll just show up if they pay him. And I like a lot of his messaging. I like a lot of what he says. Nothing spectacular. By the way the winning cartoon was kind of nice one. It was a cartoon of a hand drawing a cartoon of Mohammed so kinda meta thing but it wasn't bad

1:33:48 I didn't see any other things. I saw Pamela Geller, who is kind of a lightning rod for this... what's it called? The AFDI, who really is run by a guy named Robert Spencer But before I get to him, I want to play a little bit from MSNBC at how this group with Wilders and Geller and Robert Spencer is now being portrayed. It's very strange to see what happened where whenever we have some kind of attack and maybe it's ISIS, oh my god these guys are horrible. And now the whole narrative is well you shouldn't kick the beehive you shouldn't poke the bear and it actually goes into... I'm going to turn around here we go. Here he is with

1:34:38 Who is this? This is someone from MSNBC and then the Southern Poverty Law Center's guy, Potok. And Southern Poverty Law Center who are just a big non-profit with what did we last count $700 million they have in assets? Huge amounts of money! And this is what came out of that conversation... Well whose to say whether these two actually had terrorist ties or not We know at least one of them did some tweeting in favor of ISIS and that ISIS retweeted that person's tweets. But, you know... No I don't think that setting up events in order to draw out

1:35:16 Haters is really the best way to go. I mean look, i think that an analogy Is a Klan group that decides to hold a cartoon contest Satirizing black people Certainly that would make many people angry And it might even bring out A black nationalist or two who was willing To do some shooting him or herself Okay, so they deem the Southern Poverty Law Center deems this AFDI as a hate group because they say they hate Islam and Muslims. After watching the entire event, the only thing I heard them say was that they are against jihadis and do not want Sharia law, the very true conservative Islamic faction of faith creeping into America. Fine!

1:36:07 Now this is Robert Spencer, he's on CNN. This is the guy that's in charge of this and I believe he is handling at least Geller and he might even be...in fact let me look him up on the book of knowledge just to get a little more info on him. I'll look that up in a second. What's his full name? Spencer, Robert Spencer. Very interesting background looks like a total handler for this. You have this new threat if you will of more violence coming from ISIS in part they say future attacks are going to be harsher and they're going to be worse

1:36:43 Are you guys having second thoughts now about future events in light of this? No, I think that this only underscores the necessity to continue to hold events like this. To show that we will not be cowed, we will not curtail our activities, we will not be intimidated What they want to do is force us to obey Sharia blasphemy laws which mandate death for those who insult Islam or Mohammed. And so if we kowtow to this and we curtail our activities, and say okay, Mohammed and Islam are off limits then we are just aiding and abetting the ISIS agenda and that is surrender The Garland police did a stellar job in stopping the jihadis Do you feel like there was violence prove the point your trying to make? Oh it certainly does absolutely So were looking by holding more events then I suppose you could continue to say Are you looking for more violence to keep on making this point

1:37:29 course not that's a ridiculous idea. The question has been posed and I want to get your take on it, that if your event was if the intent was to serve as bait It worked. Is that what you guys were intending? No, the intent was to stand on our feet and say we are not going to submit We don't want any violence. We are not the ones who were committing the violence. We're not inciting the violence The ones who are inciting the violence or the ones who are on Twitter saying You have to go kill people who draw cartoons There's a lot of talk debate over is this event controversial or not. We're not going to debate here if you have a right to be holding this event, we are not going to. Listen carefully because I'm going to show the narrative that's coming regarding this. She repeats this really extravagantly. The debate here if violence is okay in light of this event? Absolutely not! I don't even want to debate the line between free speech and provocation

1:38:22 I want to talk to you and get your take. In light of the fact that there was violence attempted at your event, and you want to hold more events do now need to change plans? Very realistically not using the bully pulpit here Well we have to uh... take adequate security measures And we did it Garland The jihadis were stopped They wanted to replicate the Charlie Hebdo Jihad massacre and kill massive numbers of people They were not able to get into the building We are going to have to have that kind of security in more in the future And I will say. Now I think there was definitely something strange going on here. Both Pamela Geller and Geerd Wilders took pictures with the SWAT team before the event, I guess you don't need security just did hey Just let's get this together around SWAT team which is of course the moment when That's just such a weak defense it doesn't make any sense that they were doing that oh look Here's my security guard here's mine security like phew Okay weren't they supposed to be protecting the entire venue now we're taking pictures with them fine

CHAPTER 19 / 36 Discussion

Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, Fighting Words Doctrine

The 1942 Supreme Court case Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire is being cited by media figures to argue that "fighting words" or provocative speech are not protected by the First Amendment. This legal theory is being applied to the Garland shooting to suggest that certain forms of expression, such as disparaging religious figures, may fall outside constitutional protection.

chaplinsky v new hampshire· supreme court· fighting words· hate speech· first amendment

1:39:23 This, you looked up Robert Spencer by now I'm sure. Yeah yeah it's hard to put a finger on how he could...you get the sense based on the number of books he does and some of the other things that he's got some intelligence agency connection but it's very difficult to pick out Well Chris Matthews of all people in his analysis of what happened at the very end of this clip I think he calls out something Worth noting. Especially for me to say that about Chris Matthews, who I think is a dick. Up next! The latest on the investigation of the last night's shooting in Texas where gunmen opened fire outside and talk about causing trouble an anti-Islamic event caused well it caused this probably this is hardball the place for politics

1:40:09 This is problematic to me because I wonder where this group that held this event down there, to basically disparage and make fun of the Prophet Muhammad. Does it in some way cause these events? Without the word causing how about provoking? How about taunting? How about daring? What do you see as the causality factor here? Look, I don't want to be insulting freedom of speech everyone has the right to freedom of speech Now listen carefully what's happening here You have the right to freedom of speeeeeech And it's good to stand by that principle, but these people are not standing by that principle. They're standing by the principle of hatred for other people That's their guiding light That's what they do then someone knew that there was a likelihood that some stupid person would do this and again I don't think it's any great revelation that if you shout fire in a crowded theater And you incite people and you say nasty invective about peoples

1:41:00 ancestors and their religious symbols that there are a couple of crazy nutcases that are going to come out of the woodwork and are going to try to take action over that. But, that has nothing to do with Islam." Okay now let's just pause here for a moment he is already bringing in the narrative that if you shout fire in theater it's equal to provoking people based on religious views. Now this is a very interesting tactic, but I think it is coming into restrictions on speech and what they are now saying and you'll hear more in a moment is you cannot yell fire in a crowded theater correct? John? You know I don't know that there's actually a law that says that There's not a law that says that but there was a 1942 ruling

1:41:49 by the Supreme Court, which is being tweeted around. It started with a CNN guy tweeting that around, which is about...the Supreme Court said Let me finish the clip and then I'll read the Supreme Court ruling to you. There are Christians, there are Jews, there are plenty of other people from all different faiths who have done the exact same thing. Let me ask about the predictable factor maybe i shouldn't use the word cause because when we do something that has a predictable reaction to it your pretty much getting their my question is how often does this go on? Do they have these displays of anti-Mohammed artifacts an paintings How often do they have them without event, without reaction? Well look thankfully these events don't happen that often but unfortunately they get a lot of press because of the fact that these folks are deliberately going out and putting it in people's faces. I remember in the old days when the communist party and nazi party would team up at a weird sick sort of symbiotic way one would have an event and the other attack you know well I think she caused this trouble whether this trouble came yesterday or two weeks from now its gonna be in the air as long as your taunt

1:42:52 Did you hear what he said there? It's a lot like what the Nazis used to do, like they had this whole thing set up. They're working together. Uh-huh! Yeah indicated that they were indicating that they were but what's happened now is and this uh... The ruling is Chaplinsky versus New Hampshire 1942 In late November 41, Walter Chplinski Jehovah's Witness was using a public sidewalk as a pulpit in downtown Rochester passing out pamphlets calling organized religion a racket. Notice religion After a large crowd had begun blocking the roads generally causing a scene A police officer removed Chplinski to Tim to police headquarters upon seeing the town marshal Chplinsky attacked the marshal verbally he was then arrested The complaint against Chplinski was

1:43:36 stated that he shouted, quote, you're a goddamn racketeer and a damned fascist. Joplinski admitted that he said the words charged in the complaint with the exception of the name of the deity for this he was charging convicted on their New Hampshire statute preventing intentionally offensive speech being directed at others in a public place now I believe this went all the way to the Supreme Court and the opinion of the court was after unanimous decision upheld the arrest They advanced the two-tier theory of the First Amendment. Certain quote well defined and narrowly limited categories of speech fall outside the bounds of constitutional protection thus quote the lewd and obscene, the profane, the slanderous, and in this case insulting or quite quote fighting words neither contributed to the expression of ideas nor possessed any social value in search for the truth therefore

1:44:34 Lewd, obscene, profane, libelous and insulting or quote fighting words. You know this is where we get it from thems fighting words are not deemed as protected under the First Amendment according to this case from the Supreme Court so I think we're going to see hate speech has been growing for a long time hate speech will be will not be protected under the first amendment protections If it is if it falls, if it just falls in a hate speech period they're going to ban that. Well provocative speech would be banned too Sure! Because what's the point? Yeah It's just an attractive... But I always understood Aggravated assault I thought for speeches speech I didn't think there was any you can say whatever you want You go from with this is like a pendulum because you go from that the flag burning being free speech Right Now flag-burning which is protected Seems to me to be provocative

1:45:33 So, if you're going to have to take flag burning out of the picture and a bunch of other stuff. If you're gonna start swinging in that direction it's interesting so my I don't know as you get you have a conclusion here well my conclusion yeah i do well your conclusion is getting worse yeah yeah my conclusion is Spencer guy is, I don't trust him. A lot of people love this guy he's very tight with you know big Jewish community...I don't trust the guy look at his background and this clearly seems to be some kind of setup not known to anybody in the administration or any of our typical ISIS terrorist threats these guys were it was just all bad

1:46:17 And the evidence was blown up immediately. Oh, I had to blow up the car because you know they probably had a bomb so evidence is gone and... Yeah right which means that this thing was off the books? Set-up yeah set-up! It's a rogue operation and they knew that they didn't need the SWAT team before because they were taking pictures and selfies and hanging out and they were paid privately Why doesn't the police department, if they know that this event is taking place... ...shouldn't they be there just in anticipation of having to protect the freedom of speech? No. They had to hire them privately. None of this makes any sense to me and I think it was a setup to get this... Unfortunately they're being hoodwinked because it's being set up to get rid of this type of freedom of expression and speech. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, I see what you're saying

1:47:10 I'm not saying this is true, but I'm just looking at... De jante provocateur. Yes, I'm just looking at some of the stuff that's there. They're doing one thing to get something else together so it's a misdirection? Yes. That's possible because it's not helping that's for sure. No But at the same time you know you can have free speech advocate well you know they shouldn't have done that but did this free speech and... Free speech! And you run into that, that's why I was watching a lot of the Garland stuff by listening to Beck. And Beck himself who seems to be suckered into this... He says himself that this woman Pamela Yeller Yeah her he defends or says what and he's taking them kind of an absolutist

1:47:57 approach because he's not thinking the way you're, you just...he's not expressing what you just said. I see Pamela Geller and i see someone who is created almost to attract attention she gets in trouble when she's but if you listen to her speech she's annoying the minute she really gets into her speech she sounds like a big yantai we are crazy on me seriously like that it's horrible! He brought her into the discussion defending mentioning that she's this type of person you just said and then he drops a little I don't have clip but he says something interesting that was She has attacked him personally back in the past

1:48:40 And he didn't think much, and he said...and even then he used that as a justification for defending her saying well see I'm being objective because she hates me. And now thinking after hearing your theory that she probably hates him for a reason that because he's not falling into the trap yeah He is an apparatchik of some sort that she doesn't want involved with any of this. So either she or Spencer, you're right I think these two people are very suspect that this whole event was out to supposedly prove one point and may have actually done damage

1:49:17 Or it was intended. I think more like it was intended to do this one thing's for sure you will see because the CNN guy, the guy who does the show with a...who is that from? Michaela in The Morning Show? Yeah that team So that guy, he has no personality otherwise remember his name but he was tweeting True He tweeted and said this type of event is not protected under the First Amendment. And then he's and people are like, oh really? Could you please show that to me in the Constitution? And then he comes back with this exact Chaplinsky versus New Hampshire saying, you should read the Constitution! So I think this guy has been read in

1:49:58 But he's a moron and that's why he is already blowing the deal here by explaining. So you would say this event was all set up to bring this Chaplinsky thing to the forefront? If not intended... Let me put it this way, I never heard of this before You just brought it up and you never heard of it before until you found out about it from somebody who was pushing into the forefront. The CNN guy tweeted this! Okay, so this is what's going on? Yes We are being led to look at this and rethink our position on free speech which means we're now being led to believe that all the stuff that happened since

European Hate Speech Laws, Béziers Muslim List

In Europe, strict enforcement of hate speech and "lese-majeste" laws has led to arrests in the Netherlands for disparaging the royal family. In France, the Mayor of Béziers sparked a national controversy by claiming to have a list of Muslim students in local schools, an act that is illegal under French secular laws regarding ethnic data collection.

netherlands· france· béziers· hate speech· religious profiling

1:50:41 what, Chemplinsky? Whatever it is. Including the flag burning being a part of free speech and all the rest of it. We're trying to turn back...we're trying to turn that back! Yeah well makes yeah we are that's what they hate speech thing is all about and this is all a setup. And if you look at Europe just a couple quick articles um the uh the Dutch We had King's Day, it used to be Queen's Day but then we had Kings' day and people were out on the streets. You know it was a big deal in Holland and they said fuck the king, fuck the queen this is the Dutch democracy! And they got arrested for doing this. People were arrested for saying fuck the king, fuck the queen

1:51:26 Uh-huh. And of course, no one's going to protest about that because there is an actual law in the Dutch books which goes back to the 1700s that you cannot disparage the royal family so this is now being called out on these people and they're being arrested for saying fuck the king! So it's already gone in Europe They're all about the hate speech there. That's going to be a real big one for the European Union, and this was what will come up in net neutrality laws where it will just be unlawful then they'll take it even further. Unlawful because we have the Chaplinsky proof you can't yell fire in a crowded theater. This is the equivalent of yelling fire...this will be for the dumb people who don't understand the Chaplinsky or who don't want to learn

1:52:12 You can't yell fire in a crowded theater. This is the same thing, the Supreme Court has ruled this is like yelling fire in a crowd or fighting words that is the opinion of the court fighting words you can't just throw out fighting words because it's not free speech and this is very I'm... Massive, so massive there's almost like well it's crowd control let's face it that's what it amounts to yeah It's going on in France. I have... Oh yeah, yeah! There is an interesting little kerfuffle that took place with the mayor of Béziers going on France 24 and then talking about having a list claiming that the Muslims are taking over the place And this became like a big deal They reintroduced all these

1:53:01 kind of interesting laws again throw back oh there's an old law that came after World War II and we can't do this, we can't make lists. Play the Bézier list of Muslims clip until you get bored. It was a televised comment on Monday night that ignited a storm of controversy In my town, Béziers 64.6% of pupils from kindergarten to the 6th grade are Muslim The mayor has all the children's names from every classroom I know he don't have the right to do it I'm sorry but the name is spelled out saying anything else is denying evidence That however is religious profiling and illegal in France The country secular laws state no one can collect statistical data under racial or ethnic groupings

1:53:45 And the southern French town in question, outrage from all quarters. Whether you're called Fetima or Sonia it doesn't necessarily mean you're Muslim. What is this? The second world war? Here's a suggestion... Wait a minute are these like lists? Are these like Schindler's Lists that they're making? Well, it turns out as you listen to this thing. It turns out they didn't make a list at all This is just that this is some the guy came on one of these talk shows and said he said 65% of the students today in our area are Muslim and we know this because we made a list

1:54:24 Okay, let's listen to it. Let's give... The whole country blew up over this! All the Muslim kids this little symbol which will bring back a few painful memories Discussed too from the nation's leaders who called it immoral President Francois Hollande said it went against all the values France stood for as the government too put the far right-wing mayor in Now did this by any chance obfuscate the passing of the cyber snooping bill in France? It must have. Everyone was outraged about this list, but meanwhile they passed the bill where the French government now is spying on all its citizens Yes there was that...that did happen I don't know that would've gotten attention anyway Yeah of course I don't know you needed to do this This really think it's a singular event and i think it more connected with what you just talked about Right Then it is about the...I agree The cyber crap

CHAPTER 21 / 36 Discussion

FireEye Cybersecurity, DHS Safety Act Certification

FireEye became the first cybersecurity firm to receive the Safety Act certification from the Department of Homeland Security. This certification provides the company and its clients with legal immunity regarding data shared with the government, positioning FireEye as a central intermediary in public-private data exchange.

fireeye· department of homeland security· safety act· cybersecurity· mcafee

1:55:20 Uh, should we talk about cyber crap real quick? Well I have a cyber... again. I don't have one. Well first let's do the CYBER! We need that Cybercrap stuff. Cybercrap. I had just one cybercrap thing We've been waiting for the, you know this new initiative. This sharing of data between the private sector and the public sector. You know, the government we have all these centers set up and it's all going to be about sharing the data and all your security is gonna be fine and companies will share stuff with the government and vice versa so they say... And um..we had an announcement I was kind of lucky just to catch it

1:56:04 FireEye is the name of this company. The first cybersecurity company awarded the Safety Act certification by Department of Homeland Security What does it mean? Are we talking about these guys before I don't think so, I think so but go on well, I would have remembered when we look at the the advisors in the board So they have been their solution to cyber security under these safety act gives them immunity from lawsuits over information that's being shared between the private sector and the government, and vice versa. So where we... I certainly initially thought, oh Google if they share some data with the government and vice versa then everyone is indemnified you can't be sued. Instead what's happening is they've picked this FireEye company—and you'll see why when you look at who was on it—

1:57:04 to be the intermediary. They have the certification, so anyone and anybody who pumps stuff or is protected by FireEye they don't even have to worry about it because the indemnification is right there in that one organization this was not surprising but it kind of threw me for a loop Like, oh instead of giving it to all these individual companies and dealing with crap they just said you guys are certified. You're the ones! You're good to go and they have the certification now let's take a look at this company let's look at the leadership and management of FireEye.

1:57:48 Let me see. They got a lot of interesting people... Are you on the website? You get the... No, no! Is it just FireEye.com? Yeah David DeWalt chairman of the board and CEO How do you spell Fire Eye F-I-R-E-E-Y-E dot com. He comes from McAfee, of course makes so much sense we know that those guys have always been in bed together then we have the vice chairman he comes from TerraSpring that's data center...that all makes sense you can look at all these really big people who've been brought in to run this company but then when you look at the board

1:58:29 just open up the board of directors and this is where you're really going to see the fun stuff. We have, well of course Sequoia Capital that's where the money comes from we have who was this I've lost my page somehow. No keep digging. So it but it's Symantec people its McAfee people it's even going back to the Norton people We have on the board... Also Bain Capital. Yeah, Bain Capital, Alexi Capital This is truly the piece in the middle that I didn't expect So now anybody can sign up with these guys and they're gonna make a billion dollars! I think they actually are public. They probably had a little stock jump there people got in on that everything good to go

NCIS Propaganda, ISIS Youth Recruitment Messaging

The CBS television show NCIS is identified as a vehicle for government messaging, specifically regarding the "weaponization" of children by ISIS. Recent episodes depict the recruitment of young Americans through chat rooms and video games, mirroring real-world narratives promoted by federal law enforcement.

ncis· cbs· isis· youth recruitment· propaganda

1:59:26 And I wonder if anyone will even bother to get a certification. Just sign up here, check list another thing for the list for the CEO good to go done. That's genius! Yeah i didn't expect it I was taken aback could have known this so keep our eye on those guys. Genius yeah I'm trying to look at investor relations and see what I can deal with this stock that's something we should we should Well, let me just take a little breather here and play a clip from To see what's going on in the mainstream the number one show in America Which is that? What does it mean CIS on CBS they always have some messaging going on that we'd have to be aware of And so let's do the Isis clipping an American NCIS American ISIS How come I don't see you clip this as calling the calling looking for the calling. Oh

2:00:24 Yeah, okay. I got it. Exactly. They're employing chat rooms, first-person shooter games even cartoons in an effort to weaponize children as young as 10 The younger they are the less they look like a threat And the cell's mission? They see themselves as underdogs standing against their oppressors Essentially the calling is a twisted Peter Pan recruiting an international band of lost boys That was good metaphor Thank you Oh! Won't somebody please think of the children?!

2:01:17 We will follow ISIS. We will follow them, ISIS! Nice messaging kids it's all the kids recruiting the kids. It is funny because NCIS and NCIS LA have opposite messages. NCIS LA I said this before in the show has kind of the anti-government messages but NCIS sticks to these real high concept Oh, what you just read about somebody some kid got recruited somewhere and going to Syria. That's gonna be on the show because it is gonna be happening here in the United States and this show was about some kid who blew himself up and chopped someone's head off... It's just horrible! Horrible but entertaining very well structured show Meanwhile I would just go ahead Well meanwhile on that i'm watching

Defense Innovation Unit Experimental, Silicon Valley Outreach

The Department of Defense is establishing a new "Defense Innovation Unit Experimental" in Silicon Valley to bridge the gap between the military and the tech industry. During a Senate hearing, officials were questioned about the costs and necessity of this unit, which some view as a redundant "money grab" for cyber-related funding.

ash carter· silicon valley· darpa· defense innovation unit experimental· appropriations committee

2:02:18 the new Defense Department guy. Yeah, this is an interesting guy. Good guy I think he might be a good guy? Well, he...I don't know. He seems like a dummy and he's...I thought Obama stammer but when you listen to this question given by one of the House or I think it was the Senate committee, grilling him about what the Defense Department... So this was a show to try to indicate to the public that poor bastards in the Defense Department aren't getting enough money. We don't owe them $700 billion is not enough they need more money than... Was this the appropriations committee? Yeah. They had Dempsey there and he's whining about not having enough money and he says, This will be my last hearing." He's, I guess he's getting outed

2:03:04 Oh, not outed but ousted. Dempsey's out yeah the new guy is in. The new guys coming in. But this guy the Defense Department head guy that the droopy dog character... Dunford is his name He comes in and they ask him about something which was a new initiative they're gonna spend more taxpayer money on yet another what apparently to me sounds like DARPA DARPA 2. They're gonna keep DARPA, of course, but they're gonna set up a shop in Silicon Valley and they're going to put a bunch of retirees and hotshots in there just keep tabs on the technologies that maybe the Defense Department would find useful which I thought DARPA did that. Are you ready? I want play this clip! Yeah play it. One thing I want you listen for when he's asked how much money does it cost I want you to listen to the stammering. Thank You Mr Secretary

2:03:56 I noticed that in the submission that we have before us this morning, you've created or proposed to create a new unit. A point of partnership so-called apparently to be led by a civilian with a military deputy and staffed with an elite team of active duty, reserve, and civilian personnel. It sounds like an ambitious undertaking and maybe complicated. And there is the suggestion that the team will look for breakthroughs in emerging technologies I wonder if you could let us know how

2:04:49 How much do you think this is going to cost and how long will it take to be up and running? I surely can provide you with the costs, we'll do so. As far as the mechanism is concerned, It's an important effort. It's a experimental effort This is our so-called Defense Innovation Unit Experimental that I announced the creation of about a week and half ago. It has a couple of things that it brings together, Mr Chairman One is our need to continue to be on the cutting edge especially the cyber edge represented by Silicon Valley tech industry Another money grab for cyber Well, The Appropriations Committee

CHAPTER 24 / 36 Discussion

Elton John Testimony, PEPFAR Funding and AIDS

Sir Elton John testified before a Congressional hearing alongside Senator Lindsey Graham to advocate for continued funding of PEPFAR (President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief). John argued that ending budget sequestration is vital to maintaining the global fight against AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis, while sharing a personal story about the impact of Ryan White on his own life.

elton john· lindsey graham· pepfar· sequestration· aids research

2:05:47 oversees everything, including the sequestration. And the sequestration is not just the military so we need to get the American public on board." Whatever this guy said no one gives a shit and no one saw that American public doesn't care that's just for stuff that's going on in The Hill. Lindsey Graham tried a novel approach he tried something new he brought in his special guest try to talk about what's going on and here is this special guest. This is the most powerful legislative body in the world. Do you recognize the voice? No, Elton John Sir Elton John in our Congress at a hearing. Mr Chairman this is the most powerful... Elton John and Lindsey Graham huh I wonder what's similar about Lindsey Graham and Elton John Is there any... They both wear wigs? They both wear wigs that's it. The most powerful legislative body in the world And this congress indeed has the power to end AIDS

2:06:42 You have the power to maintain America's historic commitment to leading the global campaign against this disease. I'm here today, to ask you to use that power To seize this window of opportunity to change the course of history And one day soon... ...I hope to extend my thanks to you, to this Congress, to United States of America Not only for fighting this disease but for ending it once and for all. Thank you." Now, Elton John just said with one stroke of the pen we could end AIDS! How does that work? Well first let's listen to Lindsey Graham explain what needs to be done...

2:07:25 What could it be? What would we need? Compared to most, we're incredibly rich. But our richness is not in our bank account I think it's in our attitude and the way the American people engage with the world If I had to give one example from someone far away to explain America... ...I would use this account This account represents the best of the American people It's transparent, well managed It is saving lives and changing the world. Having said that, this account is at risk. Sequestration budget cuts if fully enacted will devastate the ability of this account.

2:08:04 and others to fulfill its promise. So what happened is PEPFAR, which was started by George W Bush is set to lose quote-quote lose $43 million where with most cases with the sequestration it stops the increase of budget so I'm not sure if they're actually getting cut 43% or they don't get their 43 percent increase for PEPFAR and that's what lured Elton John and that's why he said well with one stroke of the pen Just by ending the sequestration, you can stop AIDS. And the reason why you can stop AIDS," he says at this point we have the medicine, we have the drugs but people...the PEPFAR particularly for Africa people are ashamed there's stigma against it if we can change that which PEPFAR has been doing but now is at risk then we can actually stop AIDS entirely That's what his message was

2:08:59 But that's not how it played out with Lindsay. He was just like, oh yes! Oh my God people are going to die...oh the sequestration needs to end and somehow you know Graham got him there but it didn't get any play I didn't see anybody doing anything with Elton John. That is interesting So what I would like to do this is rare occasion Elton John had a little soliloquy and I cut a piece out of it, which really was beautiful. He's not evil but he says some funny things and this is actually going to be a positive clip on the show

2:09:36 Are you ready for that? Have we ever done a really positive clip? I think it may be. Happy news! I don't think this is good. Hold on a sec, let me get my seat. But i want to do something happy. I want to play something happy from Elton John. I need a little pixie dust so sprinkle some pixie dust... Happy! Happy! Happy! Have have you been able still raise adequate amount of funds even though the economy's been crippled throughout the world or people still giving they are We have many, many other rivals and very, very... you know there's a lot of people suffering from many diseases. But as PEPFAR has done it's treated malaria and TB

2:10:15 It's the more you teach people to as Rick was saying to train people, to train in countries where they haven't got enough medical staff. If you train people to look after people... In Africa for example when we started there were people aren't used to taking a tablet or pills They're not used of that. They are used having their local traditional healer give them something so it's a matter of education We had a meeting last night and it the camaraderie and the feeling I get from the American people is so touching You have to remember I'm British. I've come over here in 1970 and this country gave everything to me as a professional musician, and it's given everything to me as a human being. And the strength and the willingness to help people in the rest of the world has touched me so much It was Ryan Waite who pointed out to me that my life was completely disorder I was a drug addict. I was self-obsessed

2:11:11 Asshole, excuse me. And Ryan White and his wonderful family turned my life around because he was a young boy who had AIDS, he was hemophiliac He was treated very badly by people who were ignorant and knew better and he never got angry about it and he forgave We have to have compassion we have to get forgiveness we have to have inclusion of everybody whether it's intravenous drug users Whether its prisoners, where it's people who are gay. Whether it's transgender people we are all human beings we're all children of God and if we throw that away then with throwing everything down the drain so might you know when I explain this to people and people are good people I believe in a good goodness of the human spirit." It's incredible that it took a Brit to say something like this to the American public but then of course it fell completely flat no one heard about at all

Sleep Programming, No Agenda Trigger Words

A humorous attempt is made to "program" listeners who fall asleep during the podcast. The goal is to condition their subconscious so that whenever they hear the phrase "In the morning," they feel compelled to shout the show's website address.

sleep programming· trigger words· in the morning· conditioning

2:16:45 where we can send everything off to you and please tweet that so we can retweet that around the internets. Yes, and Eric will get most of these things shipped in the next... somebody wrote in complaining. Someone told me actually I hear this a lot that people fall asleep listening to the show Oh Good Donate to the show! I had a better idea. I had a better idea Okay Google Donate to the Showcam. I'm sorry. I have a better idea now but I think we can condition people I'd like to Are we that dull? Hold on a second

2:17:22 And so people are asleep right now and I want to program something in their brain, okay? So the idea is that I'm going to give them a code word. A trigger word. Then whenever someone hears that trigger word they're going to shout, NOINTENDOSHOW.COM! Okay? So I'm thinking if we give them...just whenever it happens Whenever you hear In The Morning which is nice because it can happen accidentally then people will shout that. Here it is You are in a warm bath Clouds surround you and whenever you hear in the morning, you will immediately say NO AGENDASHOW.COM! That is all

2:18:07 No agendashow.com, noagendershow.com. It has to be more of a screen... I programmed it and all say in the morning! NO AGENDASHOW.COM! The problem with that is it wakes them up. We'll see. Well might when I hear in the morning I always want to clip it What actually happened was everybody who was listening wasn't asleep I just programmed them they won't be able to get away from it now well there's my trick how can you Well, there's two more things I wanna talk about. Yeah? German wings? Well...but let's take a break. This is almost an ask Adam but it's not quite. So I was watching television and I saw this commercial. I've seen it a couple of times so I clipped it. This is the whole commercial. It's like a short commercial. I think it's 15 seconds. It's from Staples and it's the Pointless Staples Commercial clip.

Staples Commercial Analysis, Caffeinated Branding

A 15-second Staples commercial is analyzed for its confusing messaging. The ad features a fast-talking woman listing various coffee types, which is interpreted as a joke about being over-caffeinated as Staples attempts to rebrand itself as a supplier for office breakrooms.

Why would you say that? Why would you say that no reason make on budget happen make caffeinated happen staples make more happen yeah um staples is trying to rebrand themselves as a place to hang out and pick up really wired chicks well I'm thinking Now that I heard it again, I think I understand what the mechanism here is trying to convey as a joke. This woman is wired on non-decaffeinated coffee and when he suggested caff... with decaffeinated coffee and when she suggested decaffeinated she freaks out because she likes caffeinated coffee that's why she's talking so fast.

Germanwings Flight 4525, Rehearsed Descent Claims

French investigators (BEA) claim that co-pilot Andreas Lubitz rehearsed a controlled descent on the outbound leg of the flight from Dusseldorf to Barcelona before crashing the plane on the return trip. Skeptics point to the late discovery of the flight data recorder and the focus on Lubitz's iPad as potential signs of a cover-up regarding uninterruptible autopilot systems.

germanwings· andreas lubitz· flight data recorder· bea· dusseldorf

2:19:54 That's it. That's the joke yeah, well it's not that great Not that great is sucks. Yeah, it stinks Okay, okay? Do you put in the newsletter German wings I had that in there because there's a I have a clip mm-hmm which is the German wings update and it just seemed like a stretch to me that they could do all this and I knew that you'd want to talk about it so I do have the intro clip and then give you a little moment to talk about. I teased it in the newsletter. A chilling new disclosure today at March airline disaster in France investigators now say the German pilot had practiced flying into a mountainside Tom Clark of Independent Television News reports

2:20:37 We will never know exactly when Andreas Lubitz decided to crash Germanwings flight 4525, but today compelling evidence emerged that he rehearsed the descent that later killed 150 people including himself. Using details from the plane's charred and mangled flight and voice data recorders investigators have reconstructed Lubitz' actions on the earlier outbound flights from Dusseldorf to Barcelona Just before 7.20pm, the captain left the cockpit. Lubitz now in control put the plane into a planned descent but seconds later he set the aircraft to dive to 100ft before swiftly correcting the settings During the next few minutes he instructed the plane to plunge four more times Then less than five minutes after he left the captain knocked to re-enter Lubitz reset the controls to the correct altitude

2:21:34 The captain didn't know because the co-pilot's tests during the outgoing flight happened during a normal pre-programmed ascent and it didn't have any effect on the plane trajectory. The report also reveals that Lubitz ignored 11 radio calls from air traffic controllers, and 3 from French Air Defence Forces The investigation will now focus on how a mentally unstable man came to be in control of a passenger plane and how the line between passenger safety and medical confidentiality can be redrawn. So this had initially escaped my attention

2:22:13 until you sent out the newsletter. And I thought to myself, self wait a minute if they know that Clinton now claimed to know that the co-pilot Lubitz that he apparently rehearsed in fact i have a quick clip from the French spokeshole for BEA This is not necessarily an aviation investigation organization. It's the government, it's the French government who have some things that they need to communicate and as you'll hear this Frenchman say in a short clip the pilot rehearsed his death descent on the first leg of the trip. First flight of the morning before the flight of the accident which was from Dusseldorf to Barcelona during after

2:22:59 ATC had ordered the aircraft to descend and while the commander of the flight had left the cockpit, the copilot who was alone in the cockpit did several times actions altitude select command of autopilot so it was a repeat the action he did on the accident flight. Okay, so this professional is saying two things one on the first leg of the flight The captain left the flight deck

2:23:37 So, on this relatively short flight having him go pee one time is something. But doing that twice on this very short flight? And how do they know he did that because the cockpit voice recorder which is black box number 1...they say they found that. That could not include just by definition of the cockpit voice recorder which only records 30 minutes it could not include the first leg of the flight so How do they have that information? They actually don't. They're just putting that together because, unbeknownst to me... ...they found the flight data recorder!

2:24:18 And this was news to me. Why did I miss the news that they found the flight data recorder, which records about 24-25 hours of all the plane's data? Now you'll recall that when all the official reports said we have the voice cockpit recorder and from now on deduce a number of things, things that were very dubious by all accounts certainly from airline professionals. But they had...they said eventually they found the flight data recorder but the memory chip was gone Memory chip was gone for a couple days. Oh, well we can't find it and then we came up with this memory chip from a cell phone and this was a little side distraction And I think it's kind of oh We found some memory chip and all yeah This was everyone dying going down the plane and I started to look around but I didn't know this what happened every single article about The data recorder goes like this

2:25:20 The flight data recorded from last month's Germanwings crash in the French Alps has been found, French authorities said. Notice they don't say that the memory card or which is completely bullshit because it's not there no loose memory cards in this thing The device is expected to provide crucial evidence about what happened in the final moments before flight 9525 crashed. Separately, so that's that's the first line but that's not what the news story was separately German prosecutors said Lubitz appeared to have researched suicide methods in the days before the plane crashed They found his iPad! Do you remember this? This was the new story Oh we found this iPad always been investigating has been rehearsing been doing all this stuff oh yeah We found them we found out the data recorded but the iPad

2:26:03 That's the... there was no mention that I saw on any new television news about this data recorder. So now they apparently have the flight data recorder and now they have all this information. Bullshit! These, it had enough time to go falsify all those data whatever they were doing in five six seven eight days maybe even longer that the so-called memory chip was gone This is a cover up and i'd like to see the data show me the data you have Then I'll just go back to what we said, what we discussed previously that there is something called the uninterruptible autopilot. And and to thwart that story they're now saying that they have data from the flight data recorder that proves that he not only set the different altitude but he also manually did an override on the thrust

2:26:58 which was the whole discrepancy in their story that said that he, he was accelerating the aircraft into this descent into the mountains. But if you look at the actual graph from independent ADS-B data —which any amateur can receive that and put it together—the line is so straight and narrow, it was not hand flown. You can't do 400 miles per hour below 10 000 feet and fly that thing straight. You can't! So now they're saying, He practiced, he input all this information. We have the proof nothing to see here we found the flight data recorder thank God and this is how it worked instead of any other opportunity so

2:27:35 Yeah, it continues. Oh yeah but I especially like the way they...you know the flight data recorder that's a big event that they found that! Yeah it wasn't covered No what? The same every you search around the article was we found the data recorder and the iPad oh my god the guy iPad iPad and then the high iPad could survive but okay no he was at his house the ipad was always at his house okay yeah that was the big news so well that could be bullcrap Yeah, that was a cover-up for the generally speaking I should say by the way most of these pilots who have iPads would have them in that big giant thing they carry on this plane you take your iPad with you Maybe as an entertainment device when you're stuck at the hotel or whatever maybe had more than one. I don't know nobody has more than one iPad unless they're you know working in tech and

CHAPTER 29 / 36 Discussion

Thug as a Racial Slur, Soledad O'Brien

Soledad O'Brien and other media commentators argue that the word "thug" has become a proxy for racial slurs in the wake of the Baltimore protests. This claim is contested by pointing out that the term was frequently applied to white protesters during Occupy Wall Street and to various ethnic gangs in California.

soledad o'brien· thug· racial slur· daily kos· occupy wall street

2:28:29 Maybe we should talk briefly about Baltimore, just a little update on what's going on. Particularly the narrative around it... Three things actually. Soledad O'Brien—this goes back to the T word which has just been baffling about this now being a racial slur and you can't use the word thug anymore and certainly not if you're white—and just taking words away pisses me off. Soledad O'Brien who we know from We know from is it tech TV or she doing she was doing some the site on MSNBC right then. She got fired

2:29:09 We kind of covered that she was doing the morning. She didn't get fired from the site, no she got fired from CNN. She was on the fast track to become one of the multi-culti NBC anchors and somewhere along the line there's a disagreement out she goes so then she went to CNN I believe and now she's really making more money at Al Jazeera Yeah but she is also a consultant and does things for... She doesn't really do anything, just making money Here's her little piece they brought her in for this What is her ethnicity? Is she black, brown... She looks brown but is she...? She's a multi-cultist. You cannot identify her ethnicity. I don't know what she is nobody knows. Soledad O'Brien. She's obviously Irish and Mexican There you go! And she's a wonderful woman So is the T word the new N word and should people in the media use it or avoid it why do words and pictures for that matter matter so much

2:29:59 Joining me now is Soledad O'Brien, CEO of Starfish Media Group a former CNN anchor who hosted the documentary Black in America. Soledad thanks for being here it's my pleasure my pleasure why has thug become such a loaded word? Listen I think what... Listen! She's good at it though when comes to messaging Listen! Why has thug become such a loaded word? Listen, I think what the Baltimore City Councilman Carl Stokes was trying to tell Erin Burnett is that thug is a proxy. It's a word we use instead of an N-word and I think that's really true. But she thinks it's really true because she has an example. She has an example. Instead of the N-word and I think that's really true, I can't think of a situation where there's ever been a headline or someone has called a white young person who is in the middle of violent protest demonstration whatever a thug we use it all the time when were talking about people in the inner city No! No Soledad

2:31:00 And I would suggest everyone search for Occupy Wall Street. And it was predominantly white kids in Occupy Wall Street, they were called thugs in every single news report and were they rioting? Yeah! Were there trouble going on with the police? Yeah! So it's just not true." This comes from... this may have been initiated by The Daily Kos where somebody challenges. Yeah, I agree with that and that is absolutely the case and Mexicans in California are often called thugs especially if they're gangsters. A number of the gang members of Mexican gangs in Oakland and elsewhere in Southern California mostly are commonly called thugs

2:31:47 So this is bullcrap. So the Daily Kos has got this thuggification of young black victims of white violence, it's Thug The New N-R and this ran in October last year. Oh really? Yes. Well that's a good find. John King being the head person. That's a good find! I like that And he goes on claiming that this never happens at a white yet Not only are african-american perpetrators of us labeled as thugs, but so our victims and it's always blacks So I believe this is the cost daily costs have some You know, this guy has a very long article. He brings in Trayvon Martin Is it thug an Oscar Grant all these bits? So I made that may be the genesis right there I also found idea because it's bullcrap

CHAPTER 30 / 36 Discussion

Marilyn Mosby, Baltimore Prayer Group Speech

Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby is heard speaking to a religious prayer group shortly before the arrest of the officers involved in the Freddie Gray case. In her remarks, she emphasizes a sense of hopelessness in the city and rejects the "thug" label for local youth, framing the situation as a spiritual and social culmination.

marilyn mosby· baltimore· freddie gray· prayer group· social justice

2:32:38 Yeah, and I'm not even sure what sense it makes if you're really just trying to push forward an agenda. And we already made the connection between Freddie Gray's family attorney which is this powerhouse from the black elite in America, powerhouse guy who has supported the elected official. What's her name? Mosby. who is in charge of this investigation and in charge of arresting these officers, and really moving the message in a direction that I think certainly makes... it certainly quieted things down. And you and I discussed that this seemed like we were going towards a socialist type of agenda being pushed forward by these groups. And I found this video —and I clipped a little bit of it— of Mosby

2:33:41 A couple days before, this was after the event but a couple days before she came out and said okay these guys are being arrested there's sufficient evidence to... or what is it? Not evidence. Suspicion! And there's circumstantial evidence whatever it is that she had them arrested and now we're going to move forward without the grand jury but she was speaking at a prayer group let me see if I can find the name of this group Anyway, I put a little piece out of it. Just thought was interesting to hear her speak in a different cadence and different manner with this prayer group. George, I think that politics of course plays a role Oops sorry That would be this one. I appreciate your support Bishop you've been there for me from the very beginning Reverend Gilead Bishop Marcus Johnson all of you have been here for me Lieutenant Colonel Russell For the past two years as we've gone through our communities This is not something new that we just started doing

2:34:39 In the role that I'm in now, I can't necessarily do that. But please know that my heart is with you. Nothing transcends the power of prayer and let me tell you our young people called those are young people crying out there's a sense of hopelessness in this city and there's nobody that can touch them The way that you all can the way that we can. And I can't do that in my capacity right now, but I know that you all have the ability of doing it our time to do it and I've been saying this for the past two years. This is a bubbling up a culmination off that hopelessness

2:35:24 Nothing transcends the power of God and we have work to do. We have work to do, we need to get out there on the streets and talk to these young people they are not thugs They are our children And they need us They need us now So I appreciate your support and you all have big shoulders that right now I mean a lot on me but nothing that the Lord has...I'm prepared So I appreciate you and please continue to pray. Pray for me, pray for our city, pray for our young people." There ya go! This is before she came out and had the officers arrested but I need to say before we play this next bit...I do need to read you Freddie Gray's rap sheet because they're all talking about some knife on the television. I don't give a crap about your damn knife man shut up already The...this guy had quite

CHAPTER 31 / 36 Discussion

Moynihan Report, Juan Williams on Baltimore

Juan Williams references the 1965 Moynihan Report to discuss the breakdown of the family structure in impoverished urban communities. This leads to a broader historical discussion on the Democratic Party's record on civil rights and the strategic use of racial tension in modern political propaganda.

juan williams· moynihan report· lbj· civil rights· democratic party

2:36:19 He had quite a rap sheet. I think he had 30 arrests mostly for Intent or distributing drugs mainly cocaine that's not really mentioned anywhere, I don't think be racist. Right, a racist if we talk about it that way yeah then Juan Williams and he said something very interesting he mentioned something which I guess i knew about but i'd forgotten and went back and looked it up here is uh...I don't know what show he's on now and one with this is now he isn't conservative is he a republican? No-no He's black He's a no, he can't be black. It is impossible. Oh, he can't be in the Republican Party? Yeah, yeah. He came from PBS and he gets paid good money by Fox mostly to represent the Democrat thinking. He's an Obama bot.

2:37:09 Well, listen to what the Obama bot says George. I think politics of course plays a role in all of our functions I mean obviously she's an elected official She's not she's not there appointed or something like that She's an elected official and I think it's appropriate that people are aware of the larger social context here Which is that there is a look standing grievance? in the black community, especially among poor black people about treatment by the police. I mean let's cut to the chase here though if the reality is you have concentrated areas of poverty in this country extreme poverty use you put up some of the numbers before about how impoverished that neighborhood is and Baltimore school dropout rates unemployment and alike

2:37:46 And then we ask police to go in there and deal with the chaos, the disorder, the extreme violence that's part of those communities. It is very difficult to put police in that position but once you do, the question is then, Is it fair for police Well, be abusive. Be brutal in treating those people and of course the political structure that George was talking about just a moment ago has often said they are our blue line against that chaos spreading affecting downtown business districts and middle class neighborhoods but the reality is you go back to the Moynihan report Chris almost 50 years ago now Daniel Patrick Moynihan had it right

2:38:25 The breakdown of the family, high single parent families. That's who those kids were that were riding in Baltimore this week who set that city on fire. So this report known as the Negro Family colon the case for national action which was put together by Daniel Patrick Moynihan who later became US Senator I was very controversial at the time. And this is around 40, 50 years ago when i was born it's probably why don't know but in 65 and so here we have a black American liberal saying you know the Moynihan report was right where everyone was freaking out over this

2:39:08 particularly the black communities, say this is racist. This whole report is racist where the report said you know the culture of the black family and out-of-wedlock birth rate which at that time according to the report was 25 percent said that is what's really destroying the black community very interesting for him to pull this out and say this there was outrage about this uh about this report do you remember any of this The Moynihan Report? Actually, well I don't remember the release but I do remember what came during that era which was the Black Panthers, the Black Power, James Brown, Black and I'm Strong whatever this song was.

2:39:50 I'm black and i'm proud that whole thing came. I don't know it was triggered by that particular report but it wouldn't surprise me that people were upset about this. Well, this is condemned by... When the reality has pointed out which what their report was trying to do I believe there's always backlash because doesn't really apply to everybody And I don't know what's going on here with him bringing that thing back up. Here is what I think, and to see people in our chat room who are completely infected by the mainstream...the comments that are being made, it doesn't give a cop the right to...we don't know shit about what happened really! Okay? It just doesn't give a cop... The chat room when it comes to any of these borderline issues always is reflective of the mainstream media culture

2:40:39 So they're clueless. Here's what I think is going on, I think Juan Williams actually sent a very good message which no one will hear because it was completely misunderstood if black Americans who are impoverished black Americans in ghetto cities, once they figure out that it's their own culture that has been managed this way has been propagated and I will say to a certain extent really...and i'm so glad I saw the LBJ play because 1963 through 1965 we're going through the Civil Rights Bill The Democrats didn't want... the Democrats are fucking super racist. Super racist, and this play really brings it back No one wants them to have a vote no one wants the black Democrats from Missouri I think or Mississippi to have a seat at the Democratic Convention. No Negroes! Get the blacks away! The democratic party

2:41:37 Yeah. And none of this surprises me, but people don't understand you know Lincoln was a Republican is the Democratic Party who were the racist during the race riots and the race issues and these civil liberties act it was the Democrats who are the Republicans were pushing for equality. And once the black impoverished Americans figure out that the Democrats have been screwing them for 50 years they'll all vote Republican And that's why the black-white thing has to be kept going. No, that is the point they never will vote Republican because it has been established that Republicans are bad guys and its all through brainwashing propaganda and all of the rest of it

2:42:22 And it worked, and we've watched it with the women thing. We watched how they have demonized Republicans as women haters, the war against women! And we've documented this on this show to an extreme and it just keeps marching forward in the Republicans... I think are naively just like, oh well yeah, we're not. They're idiots! They're total idiots! The Democrats...I believe your analysis is correct but I do have the belief that the Democrats are smarter than the Republicans. The actual operatives may be the people who... That's what I mean, that's what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the Clintons, the people who are really behind keeping the corruption going the way it's going. It is very obvious. And that's why we continue to shovel this black-white stuff so we focus on racism and our horrible history and let me tell you, we're not the worst in the world when it comes to slavery

2:43:25 But, you know... It's working fine. So out of this comes body cameras that conversation is ongoing I have a couple clips here from... This will be your neck of the woods San Francisco public defender Regarding body cameras for police, interesting little clip I think. An officer you know this is not a non-contact sport police work people do go down People are rustled to the ground we're not paid to lose confrontations and just to appease the far left We're not going allow our officers to be injured because they aren't going to do their job Now, let's talk about the...

CHAPTER 32 / 36 Discussion

Police Body Cameras, Evidence Storage Stocks

The debate over police body cameras in San Francisco highlights a decrease in excessive force complaints, which unions attribute to citizens being less likely to lie when on camera. The discussion includes a "stock tip" regarding Evidence.com, a major player in the increasingly lucrative field of digital evidence storage.

body cameras· jeff adachi· san francisco· evidence.com· police union

2:44:07 most corrupt, brutal police departments in the United States. Interesting analysis here from a representative I think maybe from the Police Union also San Francisco There's been a study that was done of Rialto which is a police department that has had the cameras for a number of years they found that excessive force went down by 50% and that complaints by citizens went down by 90%. Again, Jeff Adachi is public defender for the city and county of San Francisco. And Gary Delanus is past president of the San Francisco Police Officers Association now working as a political consultant for the union. And Gary from everything I've read, uh... The Union supports cameras but again sees concerns with respect to the details we've been fleshing out here and let me just find out what you are in disagreement with with Jeff Adachi?

2:44:56 Well, the last statement which would be indicative of what we think we will hear. For example the report of complaints, the report of excessive force, it gives the impression that Cops are committing excessive force a lot less and we would disagree with that theory. We would say that now that people are on camera, they're not going to be able to go down and lie about it encounter with cops therefore they're not gonna go down and report encounters with cops let me say this Our cops do not fear body cameras. As a matter of fact, we embrace the program." So this is interesting! I hadn't thought about that. They say when you wear body cameras then reports of abuse go down and a lot of that they portend is because people... now there's evidence and people can't go lying saying he did this or that or the other

2:45:47 Interesting take. I like it! And then finally, here's a stock tip... What about the concern over storing all these terabytes of video data? You know, in terms of the public access to them I realize this is a big issue too but just the storing itself. Well you know if if I had some extra money I'd probably go out and invest it in some of these companies that are going to be doing evidence storage there's one called Evidence.com they're the major player out there and basically what they do is they archive all this video and make it available And it's kind of scary in a way because these private companies are then going to be controlling this very public data. And they'll have the decision-making power as... Another element of the privacy question, although you're giving somebody a good stock tip. Yeah, yeah there you go. They'll all be stored by evidence dot com. You can get an account and you can go get your... It's not a stock tip if its not a stock? Its not publicly traded? No. Oh that would be too nice.

CHAPTER 33 / 36 Discussion

British General Election, Queen Elizabeth's Role

The upcoming British General Election is described as a potential "shambles" with no party expected to win an outright majority. Speculation arises regarding Queen Elizabeth's constitutional power to intervene if David Cameron attempts to remain Prime Minister without a clear coalition, while the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) and UKIP threaten the traditional two-party system.

david cameron· ed miliband· nigel farage· queen elizabeth· snp· ukip

2:46:51 I only have two more things that need to discuss with you. I tried to listen to BBC radio, it's just...I don't think they're allowed to report really. The one thing that is clear that is showing up in the British newspapers when I started plowing through these newspapers including the Independent which is anything but, is that the Queen is going to step in Oh, she has that. She has that power? This is what they don't really want to talk about at least to our audience, the United States audience because we think of the Queen well The queen is just symbolic and they you know They live in all these houses and symbolic and they own England. They own Canada They own Australia their tastemakers And again, they have their own couple private islands that aren't even part of the UN registry

2:47:54 So she's gonna step in. This is interesting, I like this. She may have to...she gave a talk saying she's going to step in if David Cameron after these elections are over decides to just stay as prime minister because unless he got the numbers and it doesn't look like he's gonna have them and that she made a statement about this which was a threat huh? And of course we believe she still was behind the killing of Diana and all her stuff. Well, she's obviously a reptile Well, she's gonna live as long as whatever the case and I said again She's gonna step in it. And this is the thing that was always overlooked by us We always we don't believe that she's real. I Believe she's real. I do I've always well Especially after we started doing this show and you start looking into it. Yeah, and she's real. She has a lot of power

2:48:48 But she doesn't like to do the day-to-day, obviously none of the day-to-day. But she's like the chairman of the board for all practical purposes. So this election is going to be interesting it's been kept as a...oh it's neck and neck! Never seen before in history that's what I'm seeing never seen this kind of race Well, it's going to get worse according to most of the observers. But let's I got two clips that can play either just a background on what is going on with this election or the longer clip which actually brings everybody up to speed. Yeah well let's do it. This is the detailed rundown? Detailed one yes. Yeah want to hear this for sure In order to govern by itself, a party needs an outright majority of 326 seats

2:49:29 But opinion polls suggest neither of the two largest parties, Conservative and Labour will get there on their own. David Cameron's Tories have blamed Britain's troubles on the Labour government that preceded them. I feel like a farmer! I feel like the firefighter hosing down the burning building and then there is Ed Miliband, the arsonist The guy who lit up the building in the first place. I say you ought to go a bit faster You ought to do it no more And Labour leader Miliband has answered in kind. I'm going to fight every step of the way for a Britain that can do so much better than it can under David Cameron Now, my opponents might want to start talking about the outcome of an election that hasn't happened but i am going to focus on getting the right outcome of that election for the working people of our country

2:50:10 But it's almost a given that the outcome will mean forming a coalition that includes smaller parties. The Liberal Democrats, led by Deputy Minister Nick Clegg are one of those parties In the last government they joined a coalition with the Conservatives but this time around they're not tipping their hand We now need to await the judgment of the British people about what they prefer Do they prefer stability that the Liberal Democrats offer or the shambles and chaos have allured to the right or left The lurch to the right refers to the growing support for UKIP or the United Kingdom Independence Party led by Nigel Farage. Its main objective is to leave the European Union. We want to be good neighbours with our European friends but we desperately seek a referendum so that we can set this country free from political union On the left, the Scottish Nationalist Party under 44 year old Nicola Sturgeon

2:51:04 The SNP is riding a wave of progressive enthusiasm after last year's failed independence vote. A vote for this SNP manifesto on May the 7th will make Scotland's voice heard at Westminster more strongly than it has ever been before The SNP surge has Ed Miliband struggling to hold Labour's 41 seats in Scotland and ruling out any kind of deal with them. All of which left the candidates and the British people waiting today, to see if a post-election shambles lies around the corner. It is my understanding

2:51:43 I think this is most likely to play out. It is my understanding that when there is, because you have to have a coalition after majority and you can make coalitions in the British system if it is kind of a hung election then there's 48 hours I believe and this comes from the cabinet manual from 2010 where, and this is kind of new rules. And we had a strange coalition negotiation for that election quote makes clear it is parliamentary legitimacy which is crucial in allowing the government to function and it will be the media who is going to analyze and tell the British slaves what is legitimate. I'm not sure what that is, I doubt its gonna be bringing in the Scots but also doubtful of being UKIP but it will be the media who decides this for you

2:52:35 That's what I...and then there is no poll, it's just all...there'll be 48 hours of non-stop indoctrination to make whatever decision it's supposed to be. I don't know what it's going to be." Well there are a lot of reports saying that this is gonna take a couple weeks and I think... That would even better! Because the media in the UK eats the newspapers It's the newspaper. That's really where people get their opinions, form their opinions...that's traditionally been there deal. But they usually but there's at least a variety of opinions that you can get from the news. And this is the point we can really get to add sales guys out front and do their job! There's money to be made in the newspaper business

2:53:21 So lead me into this, you have a second one? The second was the introduction to the thing. I don't think it's necessary to play it. I just been trying to follow this for today show to see if there is any trends emerging and we're just going to have to wait. I think by Sunday will have us really... We'll have a good idea what's going on. And it may actually become I don't know how UKIP did it. Farage was on Twitter showing some indicating they did well, but you don't know the British are very unpredictable it seems. They used to go just back and forth between the two parties with the Liberal Democrats being in third party that would never get anywhere but they're always there hanging around. Unprecedented I tell you Mr. DeVoreg, unprecedented this election is because of these Scots! Yeah yeah...they may turn out to be

2:54:12 Well that's what everyone is saying so I doubt it will be true. It'll be something else, we'll see! Well who expected right now the Cameron operation still doesn't have the majority as we speak when he was running the place He had to do a deal with the liberal Democrats which are very wet rags Well, there's socialists in some ways. And so the conservatives and socialist did a coalition to keep the... It was uncomfortable. I remember it didn't look really good. Oh the whole thing is crazy but anyway i thought we i thought it was important that we at least think about it from The Show's perspective and we will continue to do that We just don't have enough information right now

CHAPTER 34 / 36 Discussion

Autonomous Trucks, Mercedes-Benz Nevada Testing

Mercedes-Benz has begun testing the first road-legal autonomous big rig in Nevada. This technological shift is predicted to displace millions of truck drivers by 2030, potentially forcing the workforce into a "concierge economy" of app-based gig work while creating new risks for highway hijacking and sabotage.

autonomous trucks· mercedes-benz· nevada· robotics· concierge economy

2:54:49 Then from the Red Book, it happened much sooner than I expected. We've been talking about the unintended consequences of technology and if this is good or not good and... If you look at the numbers there was a study that was done where over the past 10 years most states with the majority of states that the number one occupation is truck driver And there's a lot of truck drivers. I believe it's in the 60s, maybe 68% of all goods in the United States are transported via trucks." Right? And we're all so happy that we've just... well technology is so wonderful! The first autonomous truck is on the road

2:55:36 Road legal autonomous big rig is rolling. Well, it's only road legal in Nevada It's a start It's the start and this is the one made by Mercedes-Benz Mm-hmm And along with that comes the second story caught ever that caught me a little off guard well Now, the Germans have big articles and there's even some protests going on. People are striking... Well I would be very leery if i saw one of these things coming down the road because I just predicted straight out that there was gonna be sabotage And it's not going to be pretty when these things started hitting cars and plowing into hospitals. It is all, it's going to be total mayhem but in Germany the trend analysis is that robots that would that their words are set to take away 80 18 million jobs 59% of the Germany's workforce or by 2030

2:56:27 I believe that to be true. Yes, we know what we're going towards? We are moving towards the concierge economy and there's going to be an app because when you can't drive your truck because you've been replaced by a robot everyone will effectively become a prostitute but not all for sexual services it'll be oh i need my shoeshine let me get the shoe shine app hey You guys shy my shoe? Everybody will be working for each other. This is what Uber is. This is exactly what's going on, no jobs you just get an app and then you become a barter economy con shares I think is nicer but someone said to me yesterday at the voodoo doctor's office tell him my son has the favor app and what the hell is that? Well you get a favor and then you just say oh I want this brought to get me a pizza something like this and someone from the favor app will do it as a favor

2:57:33 Wow. Yeah, so I'm wondering about hijacking Well, it's just like airplanes. You'll be able to... I think you'd be able to run these trucks off the road and steal from them that got nobody report back. Steal from them? Yeah! They carry payloads. That was what the mob used to do they used to get the guy who got shut up because he would get killed if he said anything but now you don't have to worry about threatening anyone. Just run this truck off the road clip its antenna so it can't report back of what's going on steal all this stuff in another truck and drive off This whole thing is gonna change there's gonna be it's gonna be interesting to watch this transition But the transition that will take place and yeah, and it will not be pretty no for a whole bunch of reasons I mean a lot of death in mayhem Being in Texas. I did want to bring up Jade Helm 15 for a moment because this is this is an interesting psychological operation we just have a whole bunch of crazy people

Jade Helm 15, Chuck Norris Op-Ed

The military exercise Jade Helm 15 has sparked widespread conspiracy theories in Texas regarding martial law. Chuck Norris wrote an op-ed supporting Governor Abbott's request for transparency from the federal government, though critics have used the piece to label Norris a "wingnut" despite his focus on the unprecedented scale of the maneuvers.

jade helm 15· chuck norris· texas· governor abbott· martial law

2:58:32 You know, we've already been through this. Oh this is martial law and it's gonna be...and Walmart is involved in it." No no no I do have some thoughts on it and also Chuck Norris has now being held up as a complete conspiracy theorist nut job crazy wingnut! What did he do? He wrote an op-ed about, well it wasn't even about Jade Helm 15 really. It's more about I guess he represents or he supports Crime Stoppers USA? Are you familiar with this organization? It's pretty big. I know of it.

2:59:10 I'm not a member or an idea and followed it, but I do know of it. It's a very big organization with very little money that runs it very little money and no one makes money off of the foundation except the people who filed the 990s so now... So its legit? I think it's legit. And then so here Mashable, I'll give you an example. Mashable says the insane... hold on scrolling up and down thank you Mashable for having 8 million ads with Flash! Have you tracked me enough a-holes? Good i get to disparage you now. Geez I can't even get to the top here

2:59:47 the insane Texas conspiracy theory that even has Chuck Norris freaked out. Ed Block Plus. Yeah, but I can't do that during the show for a number of reasons. So So I actually read his op-ed. And there's nothing about Jade Helm until...he was talking about Crime Stoppers and kids, you know? He has all this stuff where inner city kids learn karate and learn discipline and learn to be better citizens. All really nice stuff! You see, man, I think Chuck Norris is pretty good guy but he went from being a hero in an internet meme to now crazy conspiracy theories if you read the article

3:00:26 the op-ed, he's saying you know the only thing that I want to point out is the federal government if they want to do business in Texas and doing it on public land, federal land and some private land. That's okay we just want to know what you're doing when... He is friends with Abbott. Abbott sits on the Crime Stoppers board with him, that's our new governor and says no we should...and the governor sent a note appropriately please keep me apprised of what you're doing because Jade Helm 15 it's not about the operations, is not about although the armbands are kind of freaky they're going to be identified by arm bands with some cool logo

3:01:06 It's about the size, the size of this. Never before has it been this much personnel that is moving around all these different states." That's the only thing he's really saying and that it's very appropriate I agree for the governor to say hey what are you doing federal government? You know...this is-you got military in our state we want to know what you're doing I don't think there's anything to all these conspiracy theories. The only thing I can imagine, and i'll just say it the only thing I can imagine is during this operate...this test and we know how whenever there's a training or simulation bad shit happens we could see some enormous ISIS event at the Texas border. Which would then, then it'll be handy everyone's pre-positioned they're down at the border that could happen and you know there's... What's the date on this thing?

3:01:56 Our next for the six-week cycle is June 1st. Good question, let me see if I can find the exact dates...I think it's this summer July? It starts in July ends in September. I don't have exact dates. Okay well there'll be another event to see June...July 15th that'll be another point and of course we've been hearing from four months now what more than a year with the same bogus sheriff oh yeah they're at the border we found their Muslim clothing in Qurans on bed the Rio Grande So the setup is there if they want to do this. The setup is definitely there, but I don't see any other really anything really sinister about it other than you know why? Why If we can mobilize this for a test, why not have them all at the border anyway everyone so pissed off about what's happening at the border? Yeah keep him there as well and you may see that actually happening

3:02:46 I have one last clip. Before that, I want to just finalize on one thing something i learned which there is a lot of information about it when I went searching for so having the cool arm band for this jade helm which we've always joked about how the president says heil everybody and you know and fashionable things like armbands creep me out a little bit and if you look at the Germans Their fashion sense, the Nazis was really impeccable. I mean the colors the black, the red, the swastika although and this is where i was getting to... Armani was making a lot of their uniforms Was it Armani? I didn't know it was Armani Yeah, I believe so Well apparently there's a theory out there that they had everything right but because you know the swastikas are religious symbol and they turned it upside down

CHAPTER 36 / 36 Discussion

Global Warming Records, Pope Francis and Al Gore

NOAA reports that global carbon dioxide concentrations reached a two-million-year high in March 2015. This data coincides with Pope Francis's increasing vocalization on climate change, which has earned him praise from Al Gore but criticism from traditional Catholics who view the Jesuit Pope's agenda as leaning toward global socialism.

global warming· noaa· pope francis· al gore· jesuit

3:03:41 That brought them bad luck and that's why they lost the war. You have no idea how big this theory is! Oh, I know this theory. I've heard it before. I never heard it! Yeah... It's kooky. Alright, I have one last clip And this is the one, you know they can't seem to get this global warming. It's like starting an old engine out of a Ford Model T trying to get this thing everyone jacked up again. So they've come up with... I have actually a couple clips on it. Good! No no, let me do it. Let's get through it. I want but so NewsHour makes this report. They do it kind of haphazardly but they throw this out and I'm just

3:04:21 I'm just going to you, guy. No, no. You can't top this one. Global concentrations of carbon dioxide have reached levels not seen for two million years. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said today the monthly average crossed that line in March. It also said concentrations of heat trapping gas are rising at a record pace The science is in! Science! This is bullcrap. Two million years? Two million years where they've been taking records?! Apparently...

3:04:56 Oh, they went to some ice core or something. I mean this is bull crap for a million years! This is fantastic. Well everybody... so it's a new round robin and they got the Pope on board we knew this pope would be doing this Everybody loves this Pope The gays love the Pope The warmest love the Pope You know what people that don't like the Pope are real dyed in wool Catholics Like Colbert What about? He hates the Pope. Oh really? Yeah, he's a major Catholic I mean he is like and apparently there is huge contingent by the way I've used the word apparently at least a dozen times today There's a huge contingency of people that just don't like this guy they think he's off these bills But the Atlanticists and the elites love him And this was a giveaway Yes! This why I chose him as my pick

3:05:49 I'm from the future, but i chose him. Wait a minute! Before you say whatever the case for the tenth time... I didn't say whatever the case, I said whatever the situation He is a Jesuit and... This guy may be a bad actor. Yes, this is what I said from the get-go! We need to South America... Now he wasn't paying attention. South American, a Jesuit bringing in the socialist agenda. I know I sound like a fucking right wing radio guy but that's what it is and I know this... Oh the right wing radio guys really? I don't hear anybody saying bad things about this guy Okay well I'm saying it and I know that we do not want to go down this path. I've lived in several socialist countries and you know what everyone's miserable and bored

3:06:26 Miserable and bored, I tell you. Look at the Netherlands! Look at the UK! Miserable and bored because this is where it's going towards. This is your concierge economy... Everyone will get a handout and make a little extra cash by shining your shoes, cleaning your house... The Obama's taking over? We're stuck with this kind of idea Yes yes! And do you know who loves this Pope? Al Gore! I think that Pope Francis Quite an inspiring figure, really a phenomena. Now recall that he's sending around a chain letter to all of the bishops saying global warming is real I've been startled with clarity of the moral force that he embodies

3:07:16 and you know he kind of raises in a new context the old question is the Pope Catholic? I'm sorry about the audio. That's a very interesting observation. The Pope would ask, is he Catholic it doesn't seem like it well hold on gets better with Gord's almost done But for many Catholics that might be truly... Well, I've said publicly in the last year. I was raised in a Southern Baptist tradition and I could become a Catholic because of this Pope he is so inspiring to me and I know you know the vast majority of my Catholic friends are just thrilled through the marrow their bones that he is providing this kind of spiritual leadership He would even consider becoming a Catholic

3:08:06 That's pretty yeah, that means the pope is more like a southern baptist than we think. Oh Yeah I don't know i don't know what we're gonna do john? I think it's all i was watching something We had to end the show for what we do we do have to i was watching something The other day and it was just like this It was just a barrage from no agenda perspectives of just you can't beat it You can bring up this i mean it's just endless propaganda just keeps coming from Hillary and from Bill with his phony, baloney excuses. And all the corruption that we're seeing in now Obama just throws in a towel says I'm going to start before I quit the presidency and started my foundation on the fly and make some money in from all these big corporations it's

3:08:51 It really is, it seems kind of disheartening but if you look at it from a perspective of humor its like wow and to watch the public just go okay. Yeah, it's brazen. I agree! Its brazen, fun to watch and no one making any problems No ones making waves I should say Don't make waves man. Don't make waves. Yeah we can just be one of the thugs Okay there so much that I didn't get too For Sunday, we'll talk about Japan.
