About this episode

Neil deGrasse Tyson and Larry King face scrutiny for their climate change rhetoric as the hosts debunk alarmist environmental predictions from 2008. The segment contrasts Tyson’s claims of a new normal in extreme weather with historical data on New York City hurricanes, including the 1821 storm and the 1938 Long Island Express, which produced higher surges than Superstorm Sandy.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest and General Martin Dempsey announce a fifth military base in Iraq to train Sunni tribal fighters using specific linguistic tactics. Meanwhile, Associated Press reporter Matt Lee challenges the State Department over shifting Iranian nuclear inspection requirements. The Office of Personnel Management confirms a massive Chinese cyberattack on federal records, while Cisco CEO John Chambers promotes the Internet of Things to Charlie Rose. In the trade sector, Congressman Peter DeFazio warns that the Trans-Pacific Partnership allows corporations to bypass domestic laws through secret tribunals.

Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell addresses the opioid crisis and the 259 million prescriptions fueling it while using corporate jargon like solution space. The episode takes a bizarre turn with reports of camel urine shampoo in the Middle East and a viral hippo escape in Tbilisi. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak also expose artificial sound effects used in promotional videos for the Rafael Iron Dome defense system.

Tbilisi Hippo Escape, Retro Games and Neuro-Linguistic Programming

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the show discussing a viral photo of a hippo roaming the streets of Tbilisi, Georgia, following a zoo flood. The conversation shifts to childhood games like Hungry Hungry Hippos and Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. They introduce the concept of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) as a form of mind control and behavioral suggestion popularized by figures like Tony Robbins.

00:00 No, no. It's a sales job! It is disgusting what these people do! Shaking the rain stick with results and broadcasting live from FEMA Region 6 in the capital of the drone star state, from the Crackpot Condo in the morning everybody. I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where the hippos are on the loose, I am John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot & Buzzkill In The Morning! I love that picture There is a bunch of them Hippos running around in Georgia Yeah Georgia... Georgia the country Tbilisi yeah

00:43 It's a good picture. Well, that one of many! I mean there is one with one of them running down the street and there is another standing there bleating... Wait a minute? Do hippos bleat?! Well they make noise and say he's yelling something And I will say that I know hippos are extremely dangerous animals Oh yeah, apparently the most dangerous animal in Africa They look so cute though. I know Hungry hungry hippos hungry hungry remember that game hungry hippos? I Know i've heard of it did you guys have that at home in the Dvorak household now, I don't think so maybe I don't know I don't Dad doesn't daddy doesn't play games

01:29 I've used to play games. I played a number of games something I was keeping up with the Mario Brothers stuff for a long time Mario brothers the pre video games John hungry hippos Knock him rock em sock wasn't knock him sock um robots was it remember that oh we had that come suck them robots? I love that game air football should be came air football Yeah, one of those the air food actually better when it was the magnetic shaking football He put a little cotton ball and Real strategy in that game oh yeah, all right. Let's start off Oh sorry I picked up a lot of neuro linguistic stuff on today show Okay, man turning around every time I turn around I listen to the clip over and it's like they're just mate They're making I found one as well That's interesting you so that's interesting they're talking nonsense now let's explain NLP or neuro linguistic programming briefly

CHAPTER 02 / 41 Discussion

Charlie Rose, NLP Analysis and Dog Emotional Sophistication

The hosts analyze a clip of Charlie Rose, suggesting he is using NLP techniques or experiencing a "short circuit" while reading a report. The report, sourced from The Straits Times of Singapore, discusses Japanese research into the emotional sophistication of dogs. The study claims dogs refuse food from people who are mean to their owners, which the hosts mock as nonsensical or poorly structured.

charlie rose· nlp· straits times· singapore· dog behavior· japanese researchers

02:32 Dr. DeRoy, I don't know if there's a good definition for it. It's just...it's a form of suggestion where you can say things to someone and structure it in such a way that it confuses the brain and then makes him open for suggestion. That's my understanding. I call it mind control. You can well there's the element of mind control involved yes, and you can do that also with mirroring a person's behaviors or their stance or their body language And then you can get them real come as I said technique taught by Tony Robbins. That's correct who I've listened to all his tapes and he always Power talk you could rename his His methodology to how to be a phony

03:18 Come on You talk fast mk ultra-light into this is your phony and I'm being yourself That's the Tony Robbins method. It's not to not be yourself Yeah, but he okay What you can defend Tony Robbins? He's posted I know two people that don't personally hang out with him and they say is a really nice guy And I'm sure yes, he's got big head. These boys are big. He's giant. I mean Whatever it's called giant Titus or whatever The ladies love it

03:53 I don't know about that. Do you have any clips for your NLP? Here's one, Charlie Rose was apparently short-circuited and he was saying crazy stuff he couldn't read the prompter and And he would do these stories, this was I think on Friday that made no sense whatsoever. And let's see if I can find it here. Tell me about the sexuality in your DNA? That's how he does it. Here is the one Charlie Rose makes no sense. Okay? And the Straits of Times of Singapore looks at a study showing the emotional sophistication... ...of dogs. Japanese researchers say dogs refuse food from people who were mean to their owners They say that shows dogs do not act in self-interest and they can't cooperate socially after few species share that characteristic including humans and some primates I saw this report, and I didn't understand it either quite honestly

04:53 It was a, this is some NLP going on here. For one thing he says the Straits of Times. Isn't that nice? What's the Straits of Times it's The Straits Times is the newspaper but there are no straights of times and then he says dog singular As if he's referring to a specific animal and then he says the dog is that dogs won't take food from people who are mean to their owners Now what sound right? That doesn't sound like it. That's right play it again you then listen carefully did this isn't structured poorly And it makes no sense whatsoever and The Straits of Times of Singapore looks at his study showing the emotional sophistication of dogs

05:33 Japanese researchers say dogs refuse food from people who were mean to their owners. They say that shows dogs do not act in self-interest and they can't cooperate socially after a few species share that characteristic including humans and some primates." This is bullcrap, you're right it is the Straits Times And in Singapore, the dogs are looking at everybody going, are you gonna eat me? Well there's that. That was not mentioned in the report Seems to me like that's exactly what the dogs were thinking It's almost too delicious to believe my friend

CHAPTER 03 / 41 Discussion

TSA Roller Sound Mystery, Karma Jingle and NA Funnies

Adam Curry clarifies a mystery sound from a previous episode's TSA clip, identifying it as the sound of airport security rollers. The sound is noted for its similarity to the show's "Karma" jingle. They also discuss a two-hour supercut titled "NA Funnies" sent in by Sir Cyber, which compiles humorous moments from the last 100 episodes of the podcast.

tsa· airport security· karma jingle· sir cyber· na funnies· podcast production

06:19 Well, it was as good a setup as any. Yeah. You had a question on shows 729er which was answered with two possibilities. Your question was the sound that you heard on a clip segment at a TSA interview about the TSA? And could you really not place that or was that or you knew the answer? You just wanted to see if I didn't know. I didn't know the answer I was always befuddled like a long long long hold it to me said oh yeah, God That's what it is of course there were two they were really too um that was never really to ya There was report on the TSA so how would it be anything but the one answer big? Well tell you The first let me find the original clip hold on a second

07:08 Your original clip was... let's see, Airport Security 2 I think it was. Hold on. That sound at the beginning right there that sound. It's the rollers. It's interesting because you know i always listen to the show after it's been posted and usually after we hang up we do our post-mortem our gossip girl section And then I listened to the show, and to listen to the sound. To listen... Pretty much to listen what you were saying that stuff that I might have missed in a minute. I heard this I, you know...I thought oh! I know exactly where that comes from. You've got karma Yeah and I knew you were going to play that clip because somebody sent that clip to you but here's what is irksome to me. I was gonna do the same gag somebody else had produced nearly the same exact clip and sent it to me only

08:05 You know people are trying to... Don't do this to yourself. I sent it you, and me so i saw that come in and said oh this guy's ruined the gag for me And as your doing this you could note my point of irritation because I saw this coming down Broadway what your going to do Somebody else suggested.. I received three different versions of this mix I did how does everyone what is the beginning of episode here? Here's the other clip. I got lip to there was a sound effect Okay, which is very familiar with me. I've heard it a million times if we can place it The report that thing that ding-ding-ding-ding yeah listen again

08:55 You've got karma. So I believe you're right, it was... It's the rollers but when you said i've heard of a thousand times that's because it is very almost to the T our karma jingle. It's not quite but it's the rollers. It's the rollers yes. And it starts usually must have how many people mailed you this week rolling in clips? We also got this two-hour clip show Oh yeah, we did. Called N A Funnies and it is only... I listened to this while I was trying to go to sleep. I couldn't! I was laughing so hard my stomach was hurting Well it starts off, I thought it started off kind of lame and it was like oh okay sure And who's the guy that sent that in?

CHAPTER 04 / 41 Discussion

Al Sharpton "Ass Tick" Anecdote and Morning Zoo Humor

The hosts recall a specific humorous clip involving Al Sharpton and an "ass tick" reference that they struggled to locate. They discuss the "NA Funnies" compilation's style, noting it resembles a "Morning Zoo" radio format. They decide to save the two-hour supercut as "evergreen" content to be aired when they are unable to produce a live show.

al sharpton· ass tick· morning zoo· clip show· evergreen content

09:47 Well, anyway he sends this thing in. It's a two-hour show. He's clipped together two hour show but what he's done and he must have taken a year or more to do this I can't believe you did it in the weekend or even within a month. He went through a bunch of shows probably starting about maybe 100 shows ago Took all the funny gags where we're goofing around and Sir Cyber sent that to us. So Adam's laughing his ass off, falling off the chair... But usually here's what I noticed about this show You're funny! Well, this is a known fact. You have some really sophisticated humor? There's some pretty funny things and the interesting thing to me about my humor in that two hours is I don't remember half of those one-liners Oh me neither! I mean there was a number of things in there that I wanted to pull out...I mentioned one in an email

10:49 I'm stammering today, but it was... what's his name? The preacher uh... Sharpe. Yeah oh! The ass tick thing yeah i couldn't find the clip we forgot all about i couldn't find that clip anywhere Ass tick. I thought it was one of your clips for sure you have to put an ass tick next to his name kind of thing Yeah, I was cracking up myself after about it took me about half an hour to get into it. And so what we're going to do Adam and I were gonna put a front end in the back end on and keep it as an evergreen for that day where we can't do a show or we're traveling and we don't have time to produce or something like that

11:30 Zorro and can enjoy the humor of The No Agenda Show. I think, I don't know if it's a good introduction to the show because it makes us- It's not no it's not. Makes us sound like we're Morning Zoo Yeah totally morning zoo Hey everybody! It is the morning! You've been butt slammed! It's a totally morning zoo clip show that's two hours long and its really not our show it just the humor within probably 100 shows It is well worth publishing sometime for people's enjoyment. That will go on the air eventually, probably within the next year. Well I have stuff equally as funny although not intended to be funny... Well that's government news. Well I will give you the name Neil deGrasse Tyson Oh your buddy?

CHAPTER 05 / 41 Discussion

Neil deGrasse Tyson, Larry King and Climate Change Rhetoric

Neil deGrasse Tyson appears on Larry King's Ora TV network to discuss climate change and legislative denial. The hosts criticize Tyson's rhetoric, specifically his use of the phrase "recipe for disaster" and his comments on the state of American freedom. They mock Larry King's interviewing style and Tyson's lack of specific expertise in climatology.

neil degrasse tyson· larry king· climate change· ora tv· carlos slim· astrophysics

12:20 Now, he is not a climate scientist right? No. He's an astronomer I think. Isn't he just the manager of the planetarium? Right so he's an astrophysicist. I believe he's an astrophysicist. Yeah that could be. And he goes on Larry King and what...Larry King is on some strange Website this is a very nice on iceberg slim or a slim pickins No iceberg slim yeah, iceberg slim Or a TV or something it's It's for our one of them. It's one of those it's an online television network that Carlos Slim who's the one of the richest men in the world? decided to put together with some

13:09 heavy hitters, Larry King. And that's about it and I don't know what the point of it was but he's doing it and Larry gets a salary and then he gets to do Russia Today and they probably pay him too. I should have clipped the because it has like whole bunch of YouTube videos I wish i'd clipped it. Maybe ill find it for Thursday At the end of each of these clips you go, because this is some kind hip internet thing to him He's like Hey guys! Hey gang! Remember to watch all my videos! I think its Freddy the F- Hey gang, watch all my videos! It's really... he doesn't know what he is doing. He sees a studio, he sees a guest, he has his microphone. He's done- he's gone his way. Good to go. Yeah that's all he does. Neil deGrasse Tyson shows up and this uh I think this trifecta of clips will finally show us that he is really clueless

14:05 And you're talking about the grass Tyson. Yeah, the grass Tyson Yes Larry King is a great interviewer and he's great because he's totally clueless He doesn't know anything but just like he knows how to ask questions Jerry I will should relate this because I've been on his show a few times not as TV show when he's doing radio and he has this as a guest or as a yes about four times oh that did Bohannon once but we'll not meet you Before the show well, that's I agree with not read your book. I Agree with that great And he doesn't want to talk or anything they gave me a briefing on him on his theory and then he told me himself That this is the way you think it should be done because what he feels as a radio interviewer TV editor Why does he tell me tell me John? Why is the mouse not going to work? He's

15:02 What? Never mind. He believes, this is his theory I know what the real thinking is This is the greatest idea in the world because you don't have to do any prep Yeah! At all They just call it a format He believes that he represents the dumb viewer, listener out there who... You say you come to this show and you're a famous person. The person that's listening to The Red, they don't know you. They haven't read your book. They haven't done anything. They have no idea! And so he is representing that person As opposed to someone who's on page 16 of your book you say blah, blah, blah. And it becomes inside baseball almost immediately and it gets very boring to people who don't know what you're talking about. So he believes that he can just ask random questions and his questioning is... He'll go if you listen to his interview style

15:56 He'll get somebody on a train of thought and then he'll switch the subject radically. Shall we listen to The King in all his splendor? Yes, please. This is Neil deGrasse Tyson and this is about a topic that he is absolutely no expert in climate change and specifically man-made climate change but always be aware when the only term used as climate change you know I don't think you or I have any disagreement that climate is changing continuously Right, oh oops oops oops oops So here is the first clip what was that? You okay

16:33 Smoking your dube? No, I'm trying to catch my breath. Those who deny climate change... Okay that would be you and I. We don't deny climate change! What do you say to them? In a free country which at least we believe-we tell ourselves we live in a free country. I don't- What is that commentary?! I was we tell ourselves. We live in a free country is he saying we're in fact a fascist state or what's his comment? I was a bit puzzled by that as well as I was yeah, I think maybe underneath all the The Neil deGrasse Tyson layers the truth is trying to get out He's trying to say you're being bullcrap and maybe that's why he said those who deny climate change What do you say to them?

17:23 In a free country, which at least we believe—we tell ourselves we live in a free country. I don't care what you believe. You can believe whatever you want. The problem comes about is if you are in denial of an emergent scientific truth and you wield power over legislation. That's a recipe for disaster. Oh no! He likes using this term, recipe for disaster we'll hear it in clip two as well The person on the street doesn't care about climate change or doesn't you know maybe I will have a conversation but i'm not going to lose sleep over that It's when someone an elected official stands in denial of climate change something that scientists have been telling them now for decades and they're gonna create legislation in response to that

18:10 What that is the end of an informed democracy? I don't know anything about it, but He's talking about Republicans obviously oh yeah, and then a little butter and then Larry asked the question again. I climate change what do you say to them You stepped on my punchline douche Oh Let's pretend that didn't happen. You can't throw this at me! It's obviously something to respond to, and by the way talking about stepping on punchlines I listened to a couple hours of that thing last night. Yeah i step on punch lines all the time Yes Those who deny climate change what do you say to them? YES THE BEACHES ARE BACK OPEN WOOHOO YEAH! Using my old gag on me... See I was gonna help but dude used a Dvorak gag. Ugh fail

CHAPTER 06 / 41 Discussion

California Drought, Holistic Systems and Weather Extremes

Neil deGrasse Tyson discusses the California drought and the need for holistic water management, such as using graywater for lawns. He argues that human-caused climate change is leading to a "new normal" of extreme weather where wet areas get wetter and dry areas get drier. The hosts analyze his delivery as a form of NLP designed to disarm the listener.

california drought· potable water· graywater· neil degrasse tyson· weather extremes· climate change

19:02 Alright, not the way now if we know we have a couple more memes brought in by mr. Ndgt And a couple that we like and he'll in this clip. He will also bring back the recipe for disaster Why isn't it raining in California? Because the song says so Larry, we all know it never rains in California girl don't they tell you yeah, you know The climate is what? The climate is I mean, drought... it's not as though droughts have no precedent in the history of the world. But what is more important than that it's not raining is there you know there's a consumption clean water potable water from the water table thats not being replenished and its being pulled out at faster rate then returning and thats recipe for disaster. How many recipes of disaster are we going to hear today?

20:00 And so we need to think more sort of, dare I use the word holistically about systems. Hold on a second. So here's another example of his self-consciousness. Dare I use the word? Yes! Really you know...I could go and say, I could throw holistically into a sentence without stopping myself and then I'm pausing to mention, I'm going to say the word like he just did. I don't think it's a horrible word. I think we should dare to say holistically. I'm gonna start using it all the time now!

20:38 So, we need to think more sort of, dare I use the word holistically about systems that manifest on this earth. And that's a relatively new way to think about the world. What? Thinking about systems holistically is a relatively new way to think about the world because... That's a Copernicus! Ha ha whoa Nice one, nice one Mr. Dvorak! When did Copernicus live? I don't know... 500 years ago? Yeah But what do we do about it? What you do? Stumped huh? Was that him breathing or was that you? No that was him breathing then i breath and the Larry King went You stumped huh? You stumped What do we do about it? See that's him Stumped huh? Yeah I don't have easy answers

21:35 I think we need to be better shepherds of our activities and our behaviors. This is interesting, this is scripture right here! Now he's quoting scripture We need to be shepherds of the earth If you're watering your lawn do you need clean potable water? You need a lawn Ladies and gentlemen, Dvorak is in a great, great humoristic mood. What can you... Can you just water with any kind of water? Your lawn with any kind of water? You pee on the lawn if you want. Yeah but then you get brown spots. Yeah graywater I mean we're not set up for graywater use when you take a shower for example and you're just rinsing yourself and that water could easily be pushed into going into the garden and used there. What about the... That's your crapping in the shower which most people don't do. Well lot of people pee in the shower.

22:23 I don't think the pee is kind of a fertilizer. I don't think it's diluted with shower water probably be good Okay, no you could use the water that came out of your dishwasher Really? No that's okay this guy harsh detergents. I don't think that's a good idea at all. I think to rinse water yes Hmm yeah, but okay That's not what he's saying alright your grass is not gonna care But we've set up a system. What is dead that does not intelligently use even the limited water that's available. Bigger question, why isn't it raining? Why isn't it raining?! All I can tell you is that in the world what we're going to find are more extremes of weather Okay this is great because he ran down a few things and I looked them up

23:17 Okay, when it rains is gonna rain heavier when it's not gonna rain. It's gonna rain less than ever didn't rain before This is NLP John this When it's gonna rain it's gonna rain heavier what it's not going to rain? It's gonna rain less than they've ever rained before sunshine on us cloudy day and as these extreme we have this kind of the new normal. The recipe for disaster! That's where he should, I dare say... Holistically? We're going to have to grow accustomed to it and all evidence points to the fact that it is human caused influence. I love this. All evidence points to that it is human caused

23:54 What did he say? Influence. On the ecosystem, on the climactic system. Cold weather will get colder warm weather will get warmer wet weather will get wetter Yeah yeah so the extremes you'll start Larry King is my hero That was really good I like that Warm weather will get warmer cold weather will get colder wet weather and get wetter Dryer weather get drier. I think we just hear that one more time Just to make sure we understood what the king is saying climactic system cold weather will get colder warm whether it'll get warmer wet Weather yeah, yeah So the extremes you'll start visiting the extremes and what happens is as As they caught as the temperature rises You more moisture from the ocean gets lifted into the atmosphere and generally when we think of whether We think of storms and things and so now that when you have a storm there's more

24:50 moisture to feed that storm. There's more heating to drive the convective cells and so the storm gets bigger More ferocious. And, you know we had flooding down here in New York By the way this change that people are talking about Is this yesterday? One day the ocean will just sort of come in and stay there on your doorstep No! That's not how it happens first It happens first where there would be a storm or there'd be a tide surge and previously the tide surge never really You know maybe came over the sidewalk Oh really Boardwalk but that was about it Now the tide surge makes into the streets And that's your first indication these extremes are your first encounter with what? It's the last five seconds, and then we can discuss it was last five seconds. We just got a first indication these extremes are

25:40 Or your first encounter with what will soon become the new normal. The new normal? I looked up some New York stories... But before you say that, I just wanna ask because you saw this and I didn't did Larry King asked him what about Katrina when it came in and was the worst hurricane ever and then they... You people predicted this was gonna get worse and worse and worse every year since then. In fact it didn't get worse. In fact nothing's happened A little bit more peculiar and more curious than that So he's referring to Superstorm Sandy, not a hurricane. Superstorm Sandy in 2012 October 28th and I'll give you some of these stats There was a huge evacuation Of course We saw... Okay What? Nothing Every time I mumble To myself or breathe You call me on it No! Not calling I thought maybe you had a comment

CHAPTER 07 / 41 Discussion

New York City Hurricane History, Superstorm Sandy Comparison

John C. Dvorak presents a historical timeline of major hurricanes hitting New York City to counter claims that Superstorm Sandy was an unprecedented "new normal." He cites the 1821 hurricane, the 1938 "Long Island Express," and several mid-century storms that produced higher storm surges or more rainfall than Sandy. The data is used to argue against the narrative of human-accelerated climate change.

26:36 I had a comment a minute ago and i made it. Go, just go to pay no attention to me! It's not going to be hard small patch of throgs in the battery parks stretches of west side waterfront where these were all evacuated the city opened 76 shelters to the public sandy brought winds of up to 85 miles an hour total rainfall about one inch across the city as well as a peak storm surge of 9 41 feet And it's a you know, we saw transformers blow out etc. This is the new normal this is the extremes We're visiting the extremes allow me to revisit some extremes 1821 September 3rd. We had a hurricane

27:13 It was one of the only hurricanes believed to have passed directly over parts of modern New York City. The tide rose 13 feet in one hour, inundated wharves causing the East River to converge onto the Hudson River across lower Manhattan as far north as Canal Street! I don't think that happened during Sandy. Wow, that's a...that what I would call a flood. 1938, the most powerful hurricane known to have made landfall nearby, Category 3 Its eye crossed over Long Island and into New England, killing nearly 200 people. The storm killed 10 people in New York City caused millions of dollars in damage its floods knocked out electrical power lines in all areas above 59th Street in Manhattan and in all of the Bronx! The new IND subway line lost power 100 large trees in Central Park were destroyed Don't think Sandy did that

28:08 1954, Hurricane Carol made landfall in eastern Long Island, southeastern Connecticut with sustained winds up to 100 miles an hour. 15 faster than Sandy gusts of 100 to 125 miles per hour the most destructive hurricane to hit the northeast coast since the Long Island Express in 38 Connie and Diane Leftover rain from Hurricanes Connie and Diane caused significant flooding in the city. In August of 55, even though the eye of those storms did not cross directly over any of the five boroughs, Connie dropped more than 12 inches—that's more than 9.41 from Sandy!—of rain at LaGuardia Airport. Donai 1960 an 11-foot storm tied into New York Harbor Agnes in 72

28:49 U.S flooding areas for North Carolina and New York State causing 122 deaths and more than $6 billion in damage adjusted for inflation Recent hurricanes Felix didn't hit but it drifted out to sea eventually Bertha also brought heavy rain to the city Edward Floyd in 99, tropical storm Floyd sustained 60 mile an hour winds dumped several inches of rain on upstate New York over a 24-hour period. Flash flooding were the most powerful to affect New York City in a decade forced hundreds of people leave homes and counties outside the five boroughs Irene in 2011, the city sheltered 10 thousand evacuees. Winds of 65 miles per hour... Now you get the idea! It's horseshit! So what you're telling us is that the global warming phenomenon began in 1938. Boo Chocolata! Boo Chocolataaaaa!!! Now this is where King shines at his best

CHAPTER 08 / 41 Discussion

Elon Musk, Private Space Exploration and Government Funding

Neil deGrasse Tyson expresses skepticism regarding Elon Musk's ability to lead a mission to Mars without heavy government involvement. Tyson argues that private enterprise requires a known return on investment, whereas governments fund the initial, dangerous exploration like that of Columbus. The hosts critique Tyson's "superficial analysis" and his perceived disdain for Musk's entrepreneurial success.

29:48 when he's going to bring up Elon Musk. And what's interesting about Neil deGrasse Tyson response to this is in a way his disdain for the entrepreneur that is Elon Musk, and I'm no fan of Elon Musk generally speaking for reasons we've discussed many times. He seems like a douche. That's also part of it. South African douche But Larry King is so misinformed that his question is just completely idiotic and then just listen how Neil deGrasse Tyson responds. What do you make of Mr Musk and the others who are what they're gonna? Send their own planes up Rockets yeah, we're gonna send their own planes at the rockets Larry whatever but he hear that Elon

30:31 Like he's hanging out with him. Oh, Elon! Yeah my buddy that's right Elon you're wrong Elon I think it's disdain and jealousy i hear in his voice That cocksucker who is making all that money with bullcrap And here I am the director of a planetarium sitting here trying to lie. On a couple of levels. By the way, we need people thinking that way Oh He wants to send a mission to Mars We need those people in society You know why we need those people John? We need these people who are dreaming big you know why? Otherwise the rest of us think that every other day should be like the previous one We need people like Elon Musk otherwise...we just remain zombies. We're stupid

31:33 Because only smart people like Elon can think out of the box. It's a watershed moment for Elon. Ping me later. on a couple of levels. By the way, we need people thinking that way he wants to send a mission to Mars We need those people in society otherwise the rest of us think that every other day should be like the previous one I wake up everyday What he does here is uses the...I guess like a parry or something where you are going to give the guy grief but you preface it with something positive

32:14 So, the listener will be relaxed enough to take in the message that follows. You're evaluating this as an NLP strategy? Well I don't think he's strategized it. I think there is just his natural way of doing things. Right. I think most people do it this way. I take a bit of offense though without Elon Musk I wake up every day and go oh! I hope its the same as yesterday No, I think you are just taking offense for some other reasons...I dont' think most people would take offense by that comment Okay Alright I think this is a disarming comment, designed to leave you wide open for the thrust through the gut. Then let's see what the thrust is. Feed those people in society otherwise the rest of us think that every other day should be like the previous one so let me just lead with that but I can tell you that the first people to do really expensive things where there's dangerous and people could die and there's no known return on investment those are not businesspeople

33:13 Those are governments. The first Europeans to the New World were not the Dutch East India Trading Company, it was Columbus funded by Spain then he draws the maps and here's where trade wins and here is where hostels are and friendlies are Here is where you find a fruit that you can eat Then you can make business case for it Otherwise its really short meeting If I say hey im gonna go Mars bring all your venture capitalists And they start asking questions How much does it cost? I don't know, but a lot. And is it dangerous? Yeah people probably die. What's my return on investment? I have no idea probably zero." That's a five minute meeting and it doesn't happen so you have to somebody's got to go out there with the long view the longer than the quarterly report view and once the patents are awarded and you've established what dangers and what safe then you make the business case

34:10 Alright, couple of things here. The government's already done the heavy lifting. It's time for the private sector to take over I don't know what he is talking about after doing... I do! He wants money Right, government money Also you know I always like the way people leave out the pre-Columbia history The Vikings for example known this is long since known colonized the northern part of the New England area and may have even gone as far inland as Oklahoma. Were they funded by the government of Viking? No, they weren't. They were independent operators, as far as I know but again that they were kind of the government... it was a different structure

34:59 Probably more democratic than anything anyone's ever seen and I'm somewhat brutal. I've been guessing, but I don't know for sure And because they're long gone III just think this is a superficial analysis on his part yeah, well Yeah, I think you're right. I think there was a grudging dislike it's easy enough to do of Elon Musk who is a douche a sharp operator you go And this then takes me to a report, I should have played them in different order. Going back to the global warming climate change which started in 1821 with the hurricane of 1821 September 3rd my birthday. Uh...I'd like to take us back to 28 2008, 2008 if you can travel back with me John are ya? Hey John we're back in 2008! Heyy my voice hasn't changed!

CHAPTER 09 / 41 Discussion

ABC News 2008 Climate Predictions, 2015 Reality Check

The hosts play a 2008 ABC News montage that predicted dire consequences for June 2015, including $12.99 milk and $9.00 gasoline due to climate change. They compare these predictions to the actual 2015 prices of roughly $3.45 for gas and $5.00 for milk. The segment highlights the failure of alarmist environmental forecasting.

abc news· climate predictions· gas prices· milk prices· 2015· global warming

35:55 Whoa, hold on a second! We're going back even further. Yeah, sorry about that. Here is ABC with a montage regarding climate change specifically as it relates to... well not specifically but it also relates to New York City and what we will see in June by June 8th of 2015 today is June 14th 2015 so we've already seen it then? We have seen it and I'd It's already happened. I'd like to play this clip and then we'll jump forward to today and then see if the prediction came true. In 2015, We've still failed to address the climate problem. We're going to see more floods, more droughts, more wildfires. Flames cover hundreds of square miles. We expect more intense hurricanes

36:50 Well, how warm is it going to get? How much will sea level rise? We don't really know where the end is. Temperatures have hit dangerous levels. Agricultural production's dropping because temperatures are rising. There's about 1 billion people who are malnourished. That number just continually grows. It's June 8th 2015 One carton of milk is $12.99 Gas has reached over nine dollars a gallon I'm scared right now, but I have to get this out. All right. All right you get the clip of the day play it play it! Oh boy... You know? I was so happy with this clip when it came out. If you have no idea I was just like oh yeah I got it I've taken it I'm loving it

37:38 I got nothing comes close to that. How much is the price of milk gonna be? $12! $12, okay. Gasoline 925. Hold on a second let's go back to... Whoa! That feels good. Back at John what's the price of gas over there by whose? I just bought a tank at premium was three dollars and forty five cents. 2.59 here in the great state of Texas How about milk? Have you checked any milk recently? Well, it depends. Was it a gallon of milk they were talking about? Yeah, only one gallon left on the shelves mind you. Only a gallon left was five bucks. Isn't that great! You gotta find that clip where they say there's never going to be... No, no, there is no clip that was in the British newspapers and I don't know if with Guardian but certainly Telegraph and of course Daily News, The Screws

CHAPTER 10 / 41 Discussion

TPP Trade Agreement, Peter DeFazio and Pharmaceutical Monopolies

Congressman Peter DeFazio discusses his opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the "Fast Track" authority sought by the Obama administration. The hosts suggest the classified nature of the document hides protections for pharmaceutical monopolies and corporate tribunals. They note the slick, coordinated nature of global protests against the trade deal.

tpp· trans-pacific partnership· peter defazio· josh earnest· pharmaceuticals· wikileaks

38:33 Daily mail. These guys are gonna go all in on this crap, they can't do this! This is why you have all these so-called deniers it's because it looks as though somebody is lying through their teeth about all of this constantly Where's the hurricanes? Where's the nine dollar milk? Twelve! Twelve! Twelve dollar milk Anyway good one great I was wondering where you were going with this whole thing. It was worth the... That was worth it, well-worth it. Thank you sir. Now, I want to ask you a couple of questions. Okay, I'm ready. You said you looked over the TPPA some time ago and you did this thing about it but this is the whole... Hold on, hold on, hold on! You mean that the Fast Track Authority or the TPP or the TTIP? The TPPA, the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement. I think it's called TAA.

39:32 Well, if you look up TPPA it's called that too. Now maybe what you read or talked about is something else because this thing here is completely out of control now. They wouldn't give Obama fast track authority because this document that they're negotiating over which seems to and I'm not mistaken excludes China is about somehow screwing China. Yeah with Japan and Malaysia and Malacca Straits and all that yeah I'm looking at the, well let's play and try to keep up and go with DeFazio is a congressman from Oregon. And he was on the News Hour with Judy.

40:17 And so we I have three clips including one which was in it's got some NLP stuff, you know So we can just bring that back because I'm gonna throughout the show today. I'm gonna say there's another example Okay, I have one too about do an example as well good This is this is DeFazio, too. We interviewed Josh Earnest the White House press secretary on the NewsHour last night He said it does have enforceable labor standards he said it does have Enforceable environmental standards he talked about it's gonna create jobs are you saying the White House is mistaken or what? Probably the white house has been briefed by their special trade representative who was a salesman and

40:58 And, you know I have read those chapters. I can't talk about them in detail because they're classified But let me just say this the use of the word may does not sound like a binding standard to me All right, did catch that? I heard a number of things but go ahead who said May Right! That...I presume that would be Josh Earnest Well, that's not what the question was. Let's listen to it... The way it was presented by Judy. Can I listen again before you? Just listen again just now everyone is primed let us listen again We interviewed Josh Earnest the White House Press Secretary on the News Hour last night he said It does have enforceable labor standards He said it does have enforceable environmental standards He talked about its going to create jobs Are you saying the White House is mistaken or what

41:55 Probably the White House has been briefed by their special trade representative who's a salesman and you know I have read those chapters. I can't talk about them in detail because they're classified but let me just say this, the use of the word may does not sound like a binding standard to me. Hello DeFazio your under arrest for divulging classified material He's telling us what is in the document. He might be, we don't know because it is classified for some reason and here is what bothers me about this and I will play a couple of these clips but everybody is all upset about this being classified some got into WikiLeaks and these names keep cropping up and personally

42:42 from what we've been doing for the last seven, eight years on this show. I believe this has to do...at some point they're classifying it because this has to do with somehow the pharmaceutical companies finding new ways to screw the public. With more about copyrights and patents, I'm pretty sure. Right or about copyrights and patents of pharmaceuticals. And pharmaceutical monopolies. This is how World War II started with Bayer and all these guys they wanted to protect their own death and destruction things. Pharmaceutical companies are the epitome of evil it seems to me, and I think this is really mostly about that

43:18 I agree. Well, we have this... What bothers me is that I started looking into this a little more on a worldwide basis and what I'm seeing and I see it in New Zealand, I see it in the Malaysian area, I see it mostly in the United States, I see it… And I think there's a mirror of it taking place in Europe because there was a similar deal going on there which again believe us to benefit the drug companies and maybe Hollywood, because they've got a copyright thing going on too. And Malaysia is really the whole where the nexus is of copyright. That's where all the bootlegs come from

43:55 What I'm seeing is identical messaging in way too many places. And it all looks the same, if you go to the New Zealand protest sites... very slick by the way we're not looking at Amateur Hour We're looking at very slick productions but it's all says the exact same thing Didn't 350.org come from New Zealand as well? I don't know that it did, but if it didn't surprise me. But there's a commonality that is always upsetting anyone who listens to our show knows we're always looking for this sort of thing when its like... something is coordinated. You know, the same signs that people you have at protest movements where they exact same signs of that sort of thing so that bothers me I and The angle with China's also bothers him and I don't end of course to classify document What is the point of this?

44:47 Well, I do want to interject for a moment. I looked at perhaps a different document but there's three documents one is the TTIP that's for Europe that's not what we're talking about but it would come into play with an authority granted by Congress to the president and the document that i read was...I believe the Fast Track, and this TPPA may be a new version of it. But I read whatever document was available and reading through that...it's really just protectionary measures. It's not saying what we're going to do is going to say what the president must

CHAPTER 11 / 41 Discussion

Secret Negotiations, WTO and Country of Origin Labeling

Congressman Peter DeFazio explains how the TPP could allow corporations to challenge domestic laws, citing the recent repeal of country-of-origin meat labeling as a precursor. The hosts discuss the strategic use of secrecy in trade negotiations to avoid public scrutiny. They jokingly endorse the "New World Order" and Bilderberg to highlight the speed of global integration.

43:55 What I'm seeing is identical messaging in way too many places. And it all looks the same, if you go to the New Zealand protest sites... very slick by the way we're not looking at Amateur Hour We're looking at very slick productions but it's all says the exact same thing Didn't 350.org come from New Zealand as well? I don't know that it did, but if it didn't surprise me. But there's a commonality that is always upsetting anyone who listens to our show knows we're always looking for this sort of thing when its like... something is coordinated. You know, the same signs that people you have at protest movements where they exact same signs of that sort of thing so that bothers me I and The angle with China's also bothers him and I don't end of course to classify document What is the point of this?

44:47 Well, I do want to interject for a moment. I looked at perhaps a different document but there's three documents one is the TTIP that's for Europe that's not what we're talking about but it would come into play with an authority granted by Congress to the president and the document that i read was...I believe the Fast Track, and this TPPA may be a new version of it. But I read whatever document was available and reading through that...it's really just protectionary measures. It's not saying what we're going to do is going to say what the president must

45:23 adhere to when negotiating. So there are certain points, and I really didn't see anything out of the ordinary but again i don't know if this is the same document and the document no one has seen that is truly being negotiated in secret is the actual TPP so let's just make sure that we're talking about a distinction here. And it would be nice to know what this was And I can see why, but let's try to figure out why you'd keep...why is this a secret? Why do they do the negotiations in... Well, I'll tell you why. ...secret negotiations with a secret document that is classified? For this very reason! That it will never ever get done if it's done out in the open and everybody is commenting on it and then the media jumps on every single thing so it's probably easier to say, I'm sorry it's classified can't talk about it otherwise you definitely will not get it done The idea is to get it done

46:21 Well, this is not working out this theory. It's not getting done and I don't think it's going to get done Let's play the first clip which is Defazio on voting no over the TPPA discussion Tonight we hear from a House Democrat who has been a vocal opponent Representative Peter DeFazio from Oregon Welcome, Congressman Peter Defazio. Congressman in voting down this trade legislation something the president has lobbied for four months this was a direct rebuke to him wasn't it? It's a rebuke to the policy he is trying to push through Congress with fast track authority, no amendments allowed up or down vote only for the largest trade agreement in the history of United States 29 chapters long and it was a rebuke for what we know about those policies. It is classified document but many have read part of

47:14 of tribunals which are only accessible by multinational corporations where they can challenge our domestic laws. That's pretty amazing stuff. Congressman, you told reporters earlier that the president hurt his own cause in effect by what he said to members... Okay there is that and then we might as well finish off with the third one which is a little more complaining about some of this stuff that's already taking place

47:59 based on some, I guess other agreements. Well let me also quote to you from what one of your fellow Democratic congressman Ron Kine said we just heard him tell our reporter Lisa Desjardins he said for our caucus not to even give the president in his words that decency or the respect to trust him a little bit to go out and negotiate a trade agreement uh... he said is selling the administration short We have read in a classified form, which we can't talk about the proposed document. We see sections that have been written by corporations and confirmed in emails that they were written by corporations and inserted into that bill. Uh, we just saw last night the Republicans repealed country of origin meat labeling I believe 93% of the American people support that And we did that because a weaker trade agreement That were in the WTO where we can't be challenged by corporations only by other governments under this one any corporation can challenge any American law

49:02 And we know that the pharmaceutical industry is a big winner in this and it's very likely that they will come back and challenge our requirement that they give the lowest price to Medicaid patients, that they give reduced prices to people on Medicare Part D. That they will attack our bulk purchasing for veterans now The president's right They can't make us repeal those laws They can just make us pay to keep them And that's why last night the Republicans repealed country of origin meat labeling because we would have had to pay three billion dollars a year To label where your meat came from Right. That was an interesting little comment at the end Yes, well I'm all for the TPP as you know but I think that we should definitely fast-track it get it done

49:49 Because I would like to see the New World Order get together quicker. So we get to the tipping point and the... Wasting time! Yes, just stop wasting time let's move on let's get to it all in favor of Bilderberg say aye. Aye! I'm all for it. I have no problem Hillary for president TPP all the way bumper sticker of the day I'm for it. Yeah, you should put that in your truck in Texas. I got a...I will. There was a note back from my former New York banker friend here in Austin and remember you had this opening of...was it News Hour? Where they talked about the derivatives? No. Greece! They talked about Greece and it was the open lead story. The top of the stock market right off the top.

50:45 This came out this week. How easy is it to buy or sell something? To sell a house takes much longer than to sell a stock, right? Stocks are more liquid than houses Yes that's an extreme example But now there is a rising chorus on Wall Street That bonds have become much less easy to buy or sell And its true for both corporate bonds and also government debt This means quite literally A fund manager needing to make six phone calls to make a large trade When he used to take only one or two Why does this matter? Lack of liquidity affects price. According to JP Morgan, a year ago banks could trade around 280 million dollars of US treasuries without causing a significant price movement Now they estimate that is closer to 80 million That's the big problem with illiquid markets Individual trades have an outsized effect on price Why is this happening? There are lot of theories out there Some say it's all about supply

CHAPTER 12 / 41 Discussion

Bond Market Liquidity, JP Morgan and Greece Default

A news report highlights a significant drop in bond market liquidity, with banks holding 75% less inventory than in 2007 due to new regulations. The hosts discuss the potential for a bond market crash and the ongoing financial crisis in Greece. They note that predictions of an immediate Greek default have been recurring for years without a final resolution.

49:49 Because I would like to see the New World Order get together quicker. So we get to the tipping point and the... Wasting time! Yes, just stop wasting time let's move on let's get to it all in favor of Bilderberg say aye. Aye! I'm all for it. I have no problem Hillary for president TPP all the way bumper sticker of the day I'm for it. Yeah, you should put that in your truck in Texas. I got a...I will.

50:45 This came out this week. How easy is it to buy or sell something? To sell a house takes much longer than to sell a stock, right? Stocks are more liquid than houses Yes that's an extreme example But now there is a rising chorus on Wall Street That bonds have become much less easy to buy or sell And its true for both corporate bonds and also government debt This means quite literally A fund manager needing to make six phone calls to make a large trade When he used to take only one or two Why does this matter?

There are lot of theories out there Some say it's all about supply

51:39 investment banks and their trading desks are keeping much smaller inventories of bonds than they used to. They used to hold a lot more, but in an effort to lower risk levels and meet new regulatory requirements banks have cut bond inventories by 75% since 2007 that's according to the Institute International Finance And there just aren't enough sellers! The trading has been so one-directional for so long everyone's been doing nothing but buying for years and years and years that when it comes to selling, it's hard to find anyone who is already topped up. Added to that central banks around the world have been scooping up government debt as part of the global quantitative easing binge and we've got another lack of supply there so some of the issues... And we'll see if some moment comes when it's really going to be ugly in the bond market as a result." Now did you discuss this at all on DH Unplugged with Horowitz? No, we've discussed this issue before

52:30 This actually is old. That's not, CLIP's not old but this problem with bonds is not new and one of the things that we do bring up Now and again, is the, and she hinted at it. Is that... And there were some hotshots I can't remember his name. It's one of the hot shots in the business who everyone listens to. I think it was about two years ago maybe 2 1⁄2 years ago predicted by now- The Black Swan guy probably? No wasn't the black swan guy. He was an investor. Oh okay A big shot

53:06 He predicted a crash in the bond market that would make millionaires overnight, and it was gonna be a whopper. And it was going to be...and just like again two years ago he says it was gonna be within the next year or year-and-a-half has already gone past his predicted date. He's probably moved on to global warming predictions. And the guy, somebody point blank asked him he says how are you going to know when's the time? When is it time to short bonds because the bonds are gonna all fall into the tank and interest rates are gonna go up. We have seen no evidence of that so far He says, you'll know. Which means it will be one of those situations where you'll know... I'll know pornography when I see it. I'll know pornography when I see it. Yeah the same thing is that you'll know. This has not happened! Well here's the response from the official insider of The No Agenda Show, a former New York banker and first thing he says is, but I got out of banking because there was no fun anymore

54:07 And he relates that to all the regulation. You can't do all the cool stuff, and specifically to this report he says dealers have much less capacity to hold inventories so the market will be more volatile. That's the regulation that made his work no fun but every doom scenario of massively higher interest rates comes from a weird fantasy of a quote melt up You sell bonds when other markets are more attractive. No real fear of that in a world where Greece is about to default and Brazil and Russia are doing very badly." Well, there you have it! I think he's also saying something else here... What is he saying? Grease is going to default for sure

54:51 This has been going on for this default two years of the clip. This is the exact again using the fractal of global warming, this is the oh if we don't do something by the end of the month it'll be too late! It'll be too late, and we've been hearing the too-late thing for the last two or three years while doing this show. I think when we began this show, we were hearing that, oh if don't do something by the end of this year it will be too late! Beyond a point of no return!" And that's what they've been saying about Greece the whole time. Now Horowitz is company...he has decided on a LARC

55:30 to invest in the Bank of Greece because the thing is so depressed that if this thing ever gets resolved. It's pennies, just put pennies in there it's easy to lose them all. That's like a dollar and I think which I think is an interesting bet But again, you know they keep this may not be a really good bet for another couple. This is just gonna go on forever They're not defaulting they have to rape the citizens a little bit more before anything happens Getting raped and Greek citizens have already been right now There's more there's more tax on your fourth wheel of your automobile It's coming the crazy and they have to sell all the assets it sell more as that's what their after the violence Yeah rights to the pipelines and all that stuff well with that

CHAPTER 13 / 41 Discussion

Dryer Sheets, Chemical Toxicity and Laundry Tips

John C. Dvorak warns Adam Curry about the toxic chemicals found in fabric softeners and dryer sheets, such as benzyl acetate and camphor. He argues these chemicals are respiratory irritants and linked to serious health issues. Dvorak suggests using "Biz" for soaking clothes and tennis balls in the dryer as a safer alternative for softening laundry.

56:15 I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C where the c stands for climate denial Dvorak. Well, in the morning to you Mr Adam Curry also in the morning to all the ships and sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there! In the morning everyone in the chat room noagenda stream dot com good to see y'all up and awake and at it this morning thank you very much. In the morning to our artists we have a an Art Off Between Nick the rat and Martin JJ boom-boom-boom back and forth. It's I love watching these guys go at it Martin JJ Did the album art for episode 7 to 9 er which was a say that? I use some art in The newsletter from Picasso

56:55 who does really good stuff, but I would like him to send us an email explaining these frogs. Yeah, I didn't understand the frogs... Maybe it's boiling frogs? Maybe that's what he's doing? He's got these frog heads in there maybe? I don't know! It was just a vague reference. It's a good-looking frog head that is you could be made into a rubber stamp, I believe and probably sell well. There's a market in rubber frog stamps Yes, rubber stamps with frog head rubber stamps. Before you continue though John, whether thanking our executive producers and associate executive producers I want to show the love that exists between two men and this relates directly to the album art that Martin JJ created of The Fluffy Bear And this is due to our conversation about my former use of dryer sheets

57:51 Which you were, even on the show when you said why would you use those? I listened to you and in fact I dried my towels the other day and did not put it in a dryer sheet. And they were nice and fluffy but here's what John sent me Saturday Here's some of the crap that is in fabric softeners. The two that concern me are Benzyl Alcohol and Pentate I do not want to be in constant contact with either! Also, the coating on towels hinders absorption making the towel shitty but soft And then you have this list. Benzyl acetate, linked to pancreatic cancer. Benzoyalcohol, upper respiratory tract irritant. Aterpenol can cause respiratory problems including fatal edema and central nervous system damage. Ethylacetate a narcotic on the EPA's hazardous waste list. Camphor causes central neurosystem disorders I don't have Tourette's! I have dryer sheet ore disorder. Good yeah

58:49 These are all things I'd want to wash out of my clothes, not wash into them. And then here John, you know...I love you so much man! If you give me a tip? Use biz once in awhile with 12 hours soaking in cold water to see what fresh is all about." Nice. Thank you man, I felt loved. Well I'm glad somebody looks out for ya. Yeah thank you very much But yeah there was a bunch- but yeah. I'm saying but yeah that's great. But yeah. Heard myself on a couple of those little gaffes including it to excess in On the long clips and show you an extreme to an extreme right to access to an extreme. Mm-hmm

59:28 It was very, very foppish I think to even use that term. Well, I'm glad you got something out of it and stopped using those stupid sheets. People got...it's all marketing that suckered people into using these things and yeah they do make your clothes feel softer even though they're kind of greasy with this crap. You can feel if somebody has a...you can feel thin film of God knows what on your fingers. Cancer! A film of cancer. A potential cancer. Someone said throw a tennis ball in, I'm gonna try that. What's that do? Makes it fluffier. Oh yeah, I know what we're doing beat up the clothes a little bit and fluff them up. Ah, fluff them up. I'll try that, that's good. Yeah unless you have real high temperatures in the dryer then melts the tennis ball You'd have a very interesting mess on your hands

CHAPTER 14 / 41 Discussion

Grand Duke David Foley, New Jack City and Stonehenge

The hosts read a donation from Grand Duke David Foley and discuss the cultural origins of the phrase "Am I my brother's keeper," linking it to the 1991 film *New Jack City*.

1:01:51 From the Black Knight, dear John and Adam on the last show you referred to my brother's keeper initiative. I talked about the origin of the phrase well it is true that it comes from the Bible there's another reason for the phrase sorry for not telling you when you first raised us on show 596 a long time listener because it took no time at all for me to figure this one out It comes from the film 1999...it comes from the 1991 film New Jack City starring Wesley Snipes In it, the response to the question is yes I am. And he sends a clip... Oh, I didn't get that clip on time. It's right there you can go look at it now when you first played this piece back on show 596, you played the clip of Obama announcing the initiative. The moment he said the words, Am I my brother's keeper? I immediately said Yes I am which comes from the movie.

Oh nuts

Rachel Dolezal, Odd Mom Out and Reality TV Fees

The hosts discuss the Rachel Dolezal controversy involving her racial identity and leadership in the NAACP. They also critique a clip from the Bravo show *Odd Mom Out*, discussing its "disgusting" humor. This leads to a discussion on how reality shows like *Jerry Springer* use fee schedules to pay guests for specific "outrageous" behaviors like throwing shoes.

1:11:17 Guess officers of the NAACP claiming to be a this is yeah, I've course. I've heard of this She's got her hair going and everything she black born Rose Deep tan that makes it look a little black, but she's got Contacts at our funny color now. She's got the whole thing going on her parents are gone. He's white by I showing her picture and she says, that's your dad? And then she points at this black guy. It looks like a straight out of South Alabama. Yeah, that's him! He couldn't make it to the event but yeah, yeah that's him, that guy. So this is the dad... That's when I think the dad got pissed off or real Dad. What is this? There was one scene where there's somebody confronted her and she runs off

1:12:22 It was anyways, I thought it was the story of the day. You don't have a clip though? I didn't make a clip myself wasn't worth a clip with a discussions enough I did receive a clip from a show that I've never watched but I think I need to start watching it This is called odd mom out are you familiar with this program? I've heard of it I I don't think you should start watching it though, but play the clip okay, and you ready Yeah. Do you hear Miles ridiculing my sass? What's... sass? Thigh plus ass equals thass, and after three kids my vag is like the Holland Tunnel. Oh let's stop for a second So the meme first is thass which apparently equals thigh plus ass that is thass Okay And then she says after three kids my vag is like the Holland Tunnel

1:13:15 Okay. And then... Sometimes I walk around and it sounds like somebody's stirring mac and cheese! Sometimes I walk around, it sounds like someone is stirring mac and cheese? The show you should watch- But this is disgusting! It's totally disgusting but the show you should watch is Unreal. This is unreal as far as I'm concerned Now Unreal is a Docudrama about the back the backstage of a reality TV show operation Nice, you only had two out so far in there And they're very good and they got some good actors and they and They do reveal a number of things that I forgot about that some of these shows doing people should be aware of this. I know That Jerry Springer used to have a list

1:14:07 a fee list that they would give the consultant. And if you go in on the Jerry Springer show, he had to sign a nondisclosure about this and somebody was talking about it. I guess they didn't care but the nondisclosure... But there was a fee list where if you were on the show and you're yelling at people, if you threw your shoe... You get more money. Only on The Jerry Springer Show do they do this but if you throw your shoe, you got like $100. If he got up out of the chair, you got like 50 bucks. If you made a threatening gesture or you started charging the guy, you'd get like more money and so you get... And then at the end of the show, they sit you down with the tape and then maybe it's just restaurant, they check off you know that's worth 20. That's 200 there now oh that's good well in these reality TV shows at least the way they're portrayed in Unreal the sitcom and they do the same thing and when they set to scene up they present people with a fee schedule for what they could make if they do the following and I'm assuming that what you just played was a fee scheduled base confession

1:15:10 It's not a reality show is it? I thought it was a drama show. What, Unreal? No Odd Mom Out the one I just played no no that's got to be a reality show! I don't think so oh come on Yeah, it sounds like it. There's nobody that was acting are you telling me that those were actors? That's a written line as far as I'm concerned Well, that's the written line You get paid for you get paid extra money. Let me just see if it's a reality show on me So he has to be come on but I don't know did you make a very valid point? I did not check to see him man odd mom odd mom out It was just so mind-boggling to me this clip

1:15:51 This is the kind of crap that we're... yeah, it's on Bravo. It's on Bravo! Oh no, scripted half-hour comedy. Okay so it's a comedy? It's not a drama? No! No, it's a drama but it's a comedy and it's scripted. It's not a reality show. Okay, it's scripted. Alright you're right That's..you know I'm reliably informed just because you had three kids does not make your vag like The Holland Tunnel Well, it depends. One of the kids was a 50 pounder I've been around Who has a bowling ball? I was 9 pounds 2 ounces My mom died angry at me Still angry after all those years Yeah, I came out and my nose was... You son of a bitch! Do you know what you did to me?! That was thrown in my face many many times And she showed this picture of me when i was like a couple hours old

1:16:42 And my nose is as flat as like a Malaysian person's nose. It was completely- I was squeezed, I had a big head... Poor mom But it doesn't mean that you have to have a vag! Ugh! That's making mac and cheese What is this?! I'm looking at the website for it. The pastor is right, the end times are upon us. Do you hear Miles ridiculing my sass? What's that? Sass. Thigh plus ass equals thass. And after three minutes... Can I do? My back is like the Holland Tunnel Sometimes I walk around and it sounds like somebody stirring mac n' cheese.

California Drought, Abortion Retribution Claim and Media Bias

California Assemblywoman Shannon Grove reportedly blamed the state's drought on liberal abortion laws, suggesting the weather is divine retribution. The hosts analyze the news coverage of her remarks, arguing that the reporting was imbalanced by only seeking a rebuttal from abortion rights advocates rather than a broader range of perspectives.

california drought· shannon grove· abortion· sacramento· media bias· propaganda

1:17:27 Okay, here's a clip play this when it says Borschen portion rights commentary I wonder what that's about our Republican lawmaker from Bakersfield is blaming the state's drought on California's liberal abortion laws assemblywoman believes the power of God has has disrupted normal weather patterns and opposed the drought as retribution. She told a group against abortion rights in Sacramento that Texas was in a long period of drought until the governor there signed a bill banning late-term abortions That night she said it rained Supporters of abortion rights described Grove's remarks as ridiculous It seems like, it's a funny clip That's borderline Clip Of The Day John! It wasn't gonna hold to beat yours so I'm

1:18:12 How much are you... this is ridiculous, this show. Borderline clip of the day Well we'd be playing that all day Oh yeah Now here's what interesting about this story it was a subtle piece of propaganda Not just that this woman's a lunatic, but it was the way they played in this. I think that...I'm not one of those guys who goes, oh you know journalism and this and that. There was a flaw in the way they did this story. They at the end asked They did a one remark commentary at the end. When someone for abortion rights person said this was ridiculous, they should have gone and asked a pro-life person what they thought because they would have said the same thing it's ridiculous but the way they balanced the story with imbalance, they made it sound like there you go again be crazy Republicans! That's right

CHAPTER 19 / 41 Discussion

Iraq Fifth Base, Josh Earnest NLP and General Dempsey

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest announces the establishment of a fifth military base in Iraq to train Sunni tribal fighters. The hosts highlight Earnest's use of the phrase "What is also true" as an NLP tactic to validate previous statements. General Martin Dempsey is also quoted suggesting that even more bases and troops may be deployed in the future.

iraq· josh earnest· nlp· martin dempsey· anbar province· isil

1:19:13 So I was very disappointed in the reporting on the great story. I'm happy that's good, i like it very nice all right uh NLP I got here's my NOP and no plea clip Josh Ernest being asked about um the combat the non-combat troops for to train the Iraqi security forces. Now, the reason I clip this and people of course know that once you are listening to a television segment... ...you hear a whole bunch of other things and often just gems. And then I heard two things in this one is kind of important when it comes to the total count of how many troops we will be sending to Iraq for the fifth base to open up- A fifth base?

1:20:07 I'm not even talking about the other four anymore. The 5th base, and of course John McCain and Lindsey Graham want 10,000 troops minimum to go in there. And Jenna...and I think I'd noticed this before The Josh Earnest does an NLP thing, which is very blatant. Yet he just does it over and over again And when you pay attention then you hear that oh my god this is such a good idea I'm going to be using this myself as much as possible. The president's confident that the announcement that he made today to establish essentially a fifth base in Iraq where U.S. military personnel and some coalition military personnel will conduct training, advising and assist operations will bolster the capacity of both the Iraqi security forces as well as the Sunni tribal fighters in Anbar

1:21:02 that are operating under the command and control of the Iraqi central government. And that will further our strategy to assist the Iraqis as they take the fight to ISIL on the ground in their own country. And we can support them by, you know through these missions that the President has authorized We can also support them with military air power but ultimately it will not be the responsibility of US military To go in and do for the Iraqis what they must do for themselves because 450 is the number that's required to carry out the mission That's been expanded to Takatum Air Base Now just so we understand this What he's really saying which of course there was no follow-up question on

1:21:40 is the 450 troops is for this mission. See, it's just for this mission It's not for the overall mis- Just for this one base This one mission from these one group of guys are going to train which means we'll be sending many many more for other missions Here comes the NLP bit So there's a number of personnel that are specifically required To do what the president announced today What is also true Is the president has directed his national security team I love this! What is also true Oh yeah. That's really good! I didn't take that cookie, what is also true...I didn't pull the cat's tail. Yeah, I was getting a number of these sorts of things. We've got to be on the lookout for more of this sort of thing. This associative lying you know? You say one thing and then you make the assumption that all the bullcrap you said before

1:22:36 in somebody else's mind is absolutely true because you say what is also true, which is really not about the next sentence. It's about the stuff you just said. Exactly. Because now you've made it... You said it's true in somebody's brain. Well that's true okay hmmm. Well here's kind of an associative clip play this another base in Iraq The top U.S. general says the United States may build more military bases in Iraq as part of its escalating campaign against the self-proclaimed Islamic State. The remarks by chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey came a day

1:23:17 after the White House confirmed plans to deploy up to 450 new U.S. troops to train and back Iraqi forces at a training hub in Anbar province. Dempsey said the Pentagon could establish more sites and deploy even more troops. There you go! That was your, that was Dempsey's… Yeah, Dempsey is always just telling the truth this guy. He just tells the truth. Why does he do that? He doesn't care. I don't know, he's got something on someone. He does not care Here is my favorite clip which this would be a clip of the day Hey! I feel bad now you're just trying and trying and trying Well try this one Okay Now this one starts with the word epic It should be epic but I've got ep-iv And by the way...I'm sorry when i said by the way

The Yes Men, CIA 9/11 Report and Saudi Blackmail

The activist group "The Yes Men" protested Shell's Arctic drilling by handing out "ancient ice" in New York. The conversation shifts to the 28 redacted pages of the 9/11 Commission Report. The hosts suggest the ongoing focus on these pages serves as a form of public blackmail against Saudi Arabia to ensure their cooperation with U.S. interests.

the yes men· shell oil· cia· 9/11 commission· saudi arabia· 28 pages

1:24:04 Coincidentally, we have a show 200.7 coming up in a couple of weeks where it's a meta-show of 2000.6 and 2005 and we discuss specifically how the show works and your labeling of clips Which is very handy. Here in New York, the culture-jamming activist group The Yes Men protested Shell's plans to drill for oil in the Arctic by handing out ancient shaved ice from the remnants—from the remnants of—from the remnants of the last icebergs of the North Pole. Does that include woolly mammoth sap? We've got a little Amy jingle there for you.

1:24:53 Wow. Yeah, Amy I can keep track of all this you're gonna need a couple extra boards Like we need a robot monkey Mechanical Turk that would help Oh We're on this side tracks here CIA and missus now we've been wanting to hear the read about the 28 pages the missing I received the full document and with the redacted bits And so that if you look at the report This is about these the twenty eight pages missing from the The CIA's version of the 9-11 Commission report or their report that went into the 9-11 commission report But this is not the 28 pages from the 911 report. Okay, then I'm confused It's twenty eight pages at the end that speaks specifically about Saudi Arabia's involvement in that wasn't yeah That's what your document I have

1:25:50 Well, you have the... but would you have the redacted? Just the unredacted copy of the 28 missing pages from the official report. No I do not have that! I could go to jail if i had that Nobody has that This is a smoke screen for those pages. We are going to go and the CIA's gonna come out, what are we gonna do? People are bitching about these pages and they let a couple of congressmen see them and they're going ah this is outrageous but I can't talk about it because there's a secret which is ruining the government by the way So the CIA comes out with this nonsense and then this makes it sound as if, here's what this is. This is a setup from my initial thesis that they're going to let the Middle East blow itself apart with nukes

1:26:36 and poison the wells, the oil wells. And we're going to have to start to demonize Saudi Arabia and here's the best way to do it play the clip CIA missing pages. And the CIA released hundreds of pages of internal investigative findings related to the September 11th attacks The report found that before 9-11 the CIA was reluctant to seek authority to assassinate Osama bin Laden The section of the report about Saudi Arabia and September 11th was largely redacted. I have been thinking of late that all of this 28 pages, 28 pages, 28 pages flows right into your thesis but it's also just public blackmail against Saudi Arabia saying oh yeah we got these 28 pages you know the oh don't want to do this with 20 pages Oh boy you better do it. Oh you better do what we say! 28 Pages! 28 Pages! 28 Page! 28 Pages! It is blackmail

1:27:36 Yeah, there's an element in there of blackmail for sure and we can get them to do what we want. I think at some point... So what does this mean? When the 28 pages come out then they're all going to be so pissed off are gonna go bomb Saudi Arabia No! Oh yeah We're not gonna bomb Saudi Arabia We're good, but we're gonna have less sympathy the idea is to get the public symphony Symphony Oh Public symphony away from Saudi Arabia when the Iranians bombed them of course with their bomb Yeah Which they will have I have the best reporter in the universe. We all know who that is Glenn Greenwald

CHAPTER 21 / 41 Discussion

Iran Nuclear Negotiations, Matt Lee and Middle East Arms Race

Associated Press reporter Matt Lee grills a State Department spokesperson over shifting requirements for Iranian nuclear site inspections. The hosts argue that the U.S. is "walking back" its demands, which will eventually allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. They predict this will trigger a massive arms race in the Middle East, with Saudi Arabia and other nations seeking their own nuclear deterrents.

iran nuclear deal· matt lee· state department· john kerry· iaea· saudi arabia

1:28:20 No, Matt Lee of course. Matt Lee from Associated Press he always asks the tough questions speaking truth to power in the State Department briefings The new guy Jeff is a wet noodle this guy's terrible it's not funny you know you can't make... He's not even cute to look at I miss Marie! I miss her so much So, we're still working on the agreement with Iran and there's a specific stipulation that has been discussed many times that before June 30th this deadline coming up in just two short weeks from now. The Iranian government must allow the IEA, IEE, LMNOP inspectors

1:29:10 access to the facilities to make sure there are no weapons production facilities or machineries, spindles and dryers and tumblers that capable of making nuclear weapons. This particular stipulation has somehow changed in the course of the negotiation and you hear, maybe you've heard Republicans saying oh he's giving Iran everything. Obama is gonna make us all it was going to kill everybody given Iranians be letting them go give them an easy deal And this is what this is about first clip is a little on the long side but there's two it's a two-parter and Matt is just raking this guy over the coals and The of course he has no answer But it is important for us to understand how this

1:30:02 how this language has been, is being interpreted differently suddenly. And what it really means is Iran will be receiving...will be allowed to have a nuclear bomb and then to your point they will rubbleize Saudi Arabia with it." We've always made clear to the Iranians that they will have to reach agreement with the IAEA on providing the necessary access to address the concerns about the possible military dimensions of their program. And without that agreement, we will not be able to move forward with sanctions relief. That's been our position throughout these negotiations. Right but that means...that suggests that the actual questions don't have to be answered and the concerns resolved in order to get a deal correct?

1:30:51 They only have to agree to, at some point whatever that might be but at some point after an agreement is reached to deal with this. Is that correct? Well the point is Iran has to provide the necessary access for them to address these concerns Yeah but does it have to happen before a deal or can they happen after a deal Without without without agreement on the access we will not and needed to resolve this. We won't be able to reach you know So in a brief so if Iran agrees to give access To the sites that the IAEA wants but doesn't actually but hasn't actually given the access by June 30th

1:31:43 That's still okay. Well, I think we're getting into details that I will leave in the negotiating room. That's a great answer! I will leave that in the negotiating room. What I'm trying to convey though is our position on the military dimensions issue and the necessity of Iran working with the IAEA...that position remains the same it hasn't changed Is it correct there is a difference between Me, if I'm around saying to you. This is the breaking it down to Dick and Jane language because this is a good line of questioning because these guys are so vague about everything okay thing falls apart nobody knows why that's right so here comes Matt's analogy if I'm around saying to you okay you can have access

1:32:31 in 50 years and me as Iran saying, okay come on in now and ask all the questions you want. And we'll address your concerns there's a difference between those two correct? But the distinction you're trying to say is 50 years versus... Well, I mean when does Iran have to give the access? Well again those are details that aren't... Well they shouldn't be. Alright so that goes on but then Matt hammers it home with this guy in a just perfect way. In April secretary was on PBS NewsHour with Judy Woodruff. He's talking about Kerry Watermelon Head and she asked him

1:33:11 The IAEA has said for a long time that it wants Iran to disclose past PMDs. Iran is increasingly looking like it's not prepared to do this, Is the US prepared to accept that? Secretary Kerry no they have to do it It will be done if there's going to be a deal it will be done Woodruff because its not there right now Kerry it will be done Woodruff so that information will be released before June 30th it will be available Secretary Kerry, it will be part of a final agreement. It has to be." You know when Matt should get a little clip machine and play clips and say here's what happened on Democracy Now! Here's what happened look at this pound sand Jeff. Now you're saying that all they have to do is agree to provide access at some date in the future

1:33:59 to address them. That certainly is, that's a walk back. It might completely misunderstand standing with the Secretary of State. No, it's a walk back. Our position remains as Secretary Kerry outlined it and you know as you quoted from the secretary's... He said there in response to question does Iran have to disclose its PMDs? In other words do they have to address the concerns or resolve the concerns and he said yes before June 30th There ya go So now the strategy is clear. Now I understand, based on your theory Iran will not have to show their sights they just have to agree to do it within possibly the next 50 years They will create a nuclear weapon they will mount it as a warhead on a missile however The missile will be pointed at Israel and then split

1:34:54 and they'll sputter, and it will fall on Saudi Arabia. Oops! Well that's probably not going to be the scenario at all The scenario is they will develop a weapon and perfect it and test it And then they'll all jump around and go hooray for us we've done this Then once they do that All of the other nations will arm They'll be buying a lot of stuff from us We'll be selling stuff left and right to everybody. And the South will build their own nukes or they'll buy them from Pakistan or some... There will just be a bunch of them in there. And then everyone just goes nuts on it? That is going to be an arms race that will begin, this is not gonna happen overnight but it'll begin and all of sudden these guys are getting one trigger happy nutcase who's gonna fire off one of these things Which country which country who do you think it'll be Well could be anybody ISIS

CHAPTER 22 / 41 Discussion

MERS Outbreak, Camel Urine and Traditional Medicine

The MERS outbreak in South Korea prompts a discussion on World Health Organization (WHO) advisories. The hosts highlight a specific warning against drinking raw camel milk or urine. They explore the traditional medicinal uses of camel urine in the Middle East for treating skin diseases, dandruff, and liver swelling, noting its perceived benefits for hair luster.

1:35:50 Ice well, yeah I don't think we'd they know because there's still the possibility that can all be Dice's thing could be traced back to us and that would would not Be right so it won't be Isis. It would be some others alone The Saudis could do it the Saudis could blow their own stuff up No They wouldn't shoot take a shot at Iran or they would I don't know We have to let it play out a little bit more to see who gets who decides to arm themselves to the teeth Right Have you been following the MERS stuff anymore? The MERS Middle East Respiratory Syndrome in South Korea we talked about on Thursday, the central bank. South Korea has lowered the interest rate because they're afraid people are not going to spend and... The World Health Organization who I follow religiously of course, I always read their advisories on Saturday night just skim through them see what's going on and I believe the last time MERS cropped its ugly head up

1:36:47 pop this ugly head up, we discuss this. They have a very specific directive for mainly men how not to receive or how to protect yourself against MERS and I would like to quote from the advisory Until more is understood about MERS, COV. What is COV? Oh, it's a little different Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus, C-O-V. Is that of import the... Yeah the coronavirus has been around before and we've actually had an outbreak during our show about five years ago. Yes! It was a coronavirus outbreak and it tends to be one of those things that shows up in dog kennels

1:37:35 Dogs get corona, if I'm not mistaken. And then it gets passed to humans and then you get... It's really bad. Right? So until more is understood about MERS-CoV people with diabetes, renal failure, renal, renal, renal as in adrenal, renal as in kidneys, chronic lung disease immune co-immuno compromised persons are considered to be at high risk of severe disease from MERS-CoV infection. Therefore, these people should avoid close contact with animals particularly camels when visiting farms markets or barn areas where the virus is known to be potentially circulating general hygiene measures such as regular hand washing before and after touching animals avoid contact with sick animals should be adhered to food hygiene practices should be observed pay attention People should avoid drinking raw camel milk or camel urine

1:38:26 Yes This is on my list of things not to do it's high on my list as well And I look this up. I'm sure we must have discussed this previously no, I Do recall the camel urine and other why did people do this? I? Honestly didn't know that they drank it just routinely which apparently some cultures do I just thought they bathed with it Women bathe with it, wash their hair with it. Okay that makes sense now that explains a lot Here is the scientific answers to drinking camel's milk and camel's urine

1:39:08 Let's see, one of the most important things for which camels are raised their milk is efficacious in treating many illnesses including hepatitis digestive system in general various types of cancer and other diseases. Camels urine is...is that how I pronounce it? Eff-efficacious Do I pronounce it right? I think efficacious is a good way to pronounce whatever it is you're trying to pronounce. Camel's urine is efficacious in the treatment of skin diseases such as ringworm, tinea, abscesses sores that may appear on the body and hair and dry and wet ulcers camel's urine brings these secondary benefits of making the hair lustrous and thick and removing dandruff from the scalp. I'm thinking product no agenda shampoo everybody

1:39:51 Well, you know some dandruff things...dandruff is horrible. Among the uses of camel's urine many women use it to wash their hair to make it longer and to make it lighter and more lustrous. Camel's urine also efficacious in the treatment of swelling of the liver and many other diseases such as abscesses sores that appear on the body and toothache and for washing the eyes. Hey! Hey camel come over here pee in my eye man. Got a sty Only on the NOAH Agenda Show do you get these details. Tips! Not just details, these are health tips. I was listening to some right-wing or maybe left wing... These are health tips John make no mistake The radio shows and all they did was ridicule of camel urine with a bunch of gags

CHAPTER 23 / 41 Discussion

Camel Urine Shampoo, Amazon Search and EU Regulations

The hosts search Amazon for camel urine products and discuss a query from a Middle Eastern chemist looking to manufacture camel urine shampoo. They debate whether such a product would be permissible under European Union regulations. They joke about the potential "gold mine" of marketing traditional Middle Eastern hair care secrets to a Western audience.

camel urine· shampoo· amazon· middle east· cosmetic regulations· european union

1:40:36 They none of them. No, actually I take it back was PBS It was the yuck Yuck don't tell me whatever that show is on Sundays or Saturday morning Yeah, yuck yuck don't tell me exactly like that's the name of the show. It's a comedy show And they were had these comedy comedians on and they were making fun of this but they gave no useful information Like you just did I commend you thank you But i'm gonna try it by can you should I know we're gonna get to camel? Well let's try amazon hold one second amazon is everything Well, that's a possibility. I wonder if someone has already beat us to the punch with camel pee shampoo? Camel Pee for sale is what i'm going to look at. CPS camel pee shampoo Okay we'll see camel urine Let's see what we come up with here on the amazons We have uh well we have camel urine protein kits 600 dollars wow Well that's good oh no

1:41:33 But here's IslamaQA.info, the benefits of drinking camel urine. Maybe what I was reading from... And I got a $4-gallon thing here! Well it's cheap! Four dollars a gallon? Well here we go now it says let me read the headline so we get to let me read this this is the truth about this well it's got a bunch of pop ups and I gotta subscribe $4 a gallon oil or camel pee-pee, she writes. Ah jeez. Uh blah blah nothing I got no details. I don't think... Just railing it by Islam. I think we could be the first ones! Somebody sells it come on. Well let's look camel urine shampoo then let's see if we can find that

1:42:21 You would think, but it certainly hasn't been marketed properly. No it's not been marketed properly and they shouldn't use the word urine Think about all... no one is going to drink and shower in urine I'm talking purely about shampoo for women And we can put all kinds of beautiful Middle Eastern women on the secondary and tertiary packaging because they have great hair deny that Have you ever seen, have you ever seen a beautiful... I agree. I'm not going to argue about the hair Right? Yeah! I said right?! You said right but you said right as the question not just at the end of a sentence. Right. Oh man oh here it is shampoo with chamomile looks like we have a winner hold on this is from The Chemist's Corner

1:43:11 Alamgir, working as a product development chemist in a small-scale company in Middle East. Our company wanted to manufacture shampoo with camel urine since recent researches have been found... this is a middle eastern guy... found camel urine has excellent properties for dandruff and hair falling control Our parent company caters to around 4000 camels and produces fresh camel milk and distributes in the Middle East as well. We will collect camel urine from them and utilize it in our product." Can anyone enlighten me for camel urine permissible in personal care products according to European Union? Yeah, we need to look at the rules. Oh yeah!

1:43:49 Yeah, they may have some bigoted rationale for keeping urine out of the products. And think about Western Europe with all the people who are from Morocco and Turkey who know this. I'd be happy to do that as usual! As usual, all it's good is Dunnett. Sitting on a gold mine! It's the golden gold mine that's right. Golden shower mine. Okay there it is okay sorry moral self-licensing back in the news okay ever since the ALS ice bucket challenge every which I believe to well we kind of deconstructed this was not this was organic and somehow it had all these beautiful and no one has come up with something with all the same elements

CHAPTER 24 / 41 Discussion

Moral Self-Licensing, Red Nose Day and Menstruation Taboos

The concept of "moral self-licensing" is discussed in the context of charity trends like Red Nose Day and the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The hosts critique a new "awareness" campaign involving "tampon selfies" intended to break taboos around menstruation. They argue these social media trends allow people to feel virtuous without actually contributing to a cause.

moral self-licensing· red nose day· als ice bucket challenge· lyme disease· menstruation

1:44:38 including the chain letter where if you don't send, if you don't send the challenge on and someone doesn't accept it, you will die within 10 days typically. Now moral self licensing a lot of research has been done about this we I don't remember what episode was on but we discussed this in great detail which to date I've not heard anyone mention the ALS ice bucket challenge and moral self-licensing in the same breath except on The Best Podcast In The Universe They tried, well Red Nose Day is kind of moral self-licensing. We put a red nose on take a selfie... Yeah to humiliate yourself! And then you don't have to donate that's the whole idea I've done my bit and it is in what is also true So you sent me a picture of Nurse Tracy just to get on top of it? Yes. We're wearing one those noses she so cute with that nose on You know I should

1:45:29 I'm thinking about this, maybe you should tell me whether it would be okay. But i think our listeners of yours would love to see this picture! I'm sure she would love it! See this picture of her with the red nose on in the newsletter. I'll send out a note on the transom and see if we can get permission for... It'd be in the newsletter so people...I think she has her scrubs on in that photo as well because I don't think We've got to give people more stuff like this in the newsletter so they stay as subscribers. Good idea, sign up to the newsletter or the home page of all our home pages and show notes pages to the newsletter and you can do that for Thursday then? Maybe, or Sunday next Sunday but I'll do it soon So then they came out with what was the one we were looking at oh it was the Lyme disease You were right went nowhere and people are eating a lime for Lyme disease

1:46:24 And this was a Bravo initiative for the Real Housewives of New York City. One of the women has Lyme... Oh no, Beverly Hills Foster. What's her name? David Foster's wife, the Dutch girl who has Lyme disease and said oh eat a lime don't donate just eat a lime new one brand-new I don't it doesn't have the element of you know you will die and all this This is for awareness awareness of or to break the taboo about menstruation. I was not aware there was a taboo regarding menstruation and if you look around, if you do a couple searches, you will see people with tampons selfies with people with tampons hanging off their ears hanging out of their mouth it's a very disturbing trend. It gets going nowhere

1:47:20 It's funny an idiot would take a selfie like that. There are a lot of them tampons are also dangerous and toxic shock Yeah, well they can't do that yes, it's been reduced sure all right enough of that I'm sorry we will you should be Here's a little one. I clipped this for the purposes of the word that was used in here, but there has been a number of reports about people overseas trying to get back and some guy trying to get out of the country but they had this passport passport problem and the word within this report said to me Adam needs to hear this. Some late breaking news this evening State Department officials say there have been problems with its overseas passport and visa system a spokesperson offered no explanation on what caused the glitches but said they were working urgently to correct the problem

CHAPTER 25 / 41 Discussion

State Department Glitch, Oracle Database and PBS Sponsorship

A technical "glitch" in the State Department's passport and visa system is identified by the hosts as an issue with an Oracle database. They criticize the PBS NewsHour for failing to name Oracle, suggesting a conflict of interest because Oracle is a sponsor of PBS TechCon. This serves as an example of why the hosts refuse traditional advertising.

state department· oracle· pbs newshour· techcon· glitches· sponsorship bias

1:48:16 Okay, so you are the PBS...is this News Hour? The PBS News Hour. You are talking about the Department of State of the United States of America and everything in the world has been cyberized. Everything is digital. Everything is online. In the cloud! They've had issues for a Two years now with the State Department Oracle database, let's just call it what it is. They couldn't even mention that in the report! Let me guess...does Oracle ever sponsor the PBS NewsHour John? Actually I've never seen their name. Let us see if Oracle sponsors PBS NewsHour. See what they put there, they say Oracle Underwriters and then you see what they sponsor probably sponsored something. Okay. It should if they don't. Oracle Underwriters okay

1:49:00 A glitch is in modern day reporting to say a glitch occurred and therefore people can't travel, no freedom of movement, a constitutional right. It is unacceptable for any news organization to do this! Unacceptable!" I knew this would set you off. If ever when you saw the clip was named Glitch and I could hear it in your voice... Well... Such a, such a... I don't know what to say. Oracle? You just really dislike the usage of it. It's not reporting! It's taking someone and saying hey how come people can't travel anymore what's wrong Department of State? A glitch Okay great thanks we'll report in tonight

1:49:47 Well, you're looking that up. There is a clip this second hack underplayed. This is very strange. Apparently, a second hack has taken place it's reported but as reported in such a way that when you just another NLP thing I'm sure of it When you accept on this report play this report then I'll talk about what I'm trying to say here second hackers linked to China may have accessed sensitive background information of intelligence and military personnel the Associated Press reported today officials believe it involves security clearance forms with possible information about mental illness, drug and alcohol use past arrests or bankruptcies. It is the second cybersecurity breach of federal records in just the past week. The Office of Personnel Management was the target of the hack and has yet to notify people whose data was breached before you do that

1:50:41 I'd like to read two quick articles for you. Now, we know from a dude named Ben inside the State Department or one of the contractors—I'll be a little vague—that the glitch is an issue with the Oracle database. Why does PBS NewsHour not specifically save the Oracle database? Could it be perhaps because they are a member of the sponsors and exhibitors for the PBS TechCon 15 Is that possible? Maybe they didn't want to piss off one of their sponsors for PBS TechCon 15, or maybe it is because ITG has deployed an Oracle web center for the public broadcasting service system. I don't know! Could be you know... I think you've made your point but this is the point we commonly make on this show about when people say oh why don't you get advertisers instead of keeps asking for money from the listeners

1:51:37 This is the reason yes, you're just you have exemplified the absolute one at one of many by the way Reasons that you can't do a show like this with sponsors Because you will pull your punches and you'll pull them and pull them and pull them, and pretty soon there's no punches at all. You're pulling them all. And then the show is just what... The- you're gonna end up with a show that we are going to play as The Evergreen Show, Just A Bunch of Gags. It's funny show but... That is the PBS News Hour! Of Just A Bunch of Gags. Gags & Glitches from PBS. People who trust. Well anyway, second hack which this has been played out... Can I play it? Let me play your clip again do you mind? No okay

CHAPTER 26 / 41 Discussion

Federal Records Hack, Chinese Cyberattacks and OPM Breach

The hosts discuss a second major cybersecurity breach of U.S. federal records linked to China. The hack targeted the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), potentially exposing sensitive background check information, including mental health and financial records of military and intelligence personnel. They criticize the government's delayed notification to those affected.

opm hack· china· cybersecurity· federal records· background checks· medical records

1:52:18 Hackers linked to China may have accessed sensitive background information of intelligence and military personnel. The Associated Press reported today officials believe it involves security clearance forms with possible information about mental illness, drug and alcohol use past arrests or bankruptcies It is the second cybersecurity breach of federal records in just the past week The Office of Personnel Management was the target of the hack and has yet to notify people whose data was breached. Do they have information on people's mental illness? This is the second hack! This is, this is the story that got my attention. Oh! They didn't preface the story with for a se- the way it should've started... For A SECOND TIME in one week

1:53:04 The federal government has been hacked by what is believed to be Chinese hackers. That's the way the story should have started, when instead it started like the same report. You're right! Good catch... So as a report goes on and then everybody played it this way so as the report goes on and on you listening going yeah I thought I heard this couple days ago is what you say to yourself And then at the very end they say this is the second time. The first one was in December which they held back so this could also This is another one we don't know. We don't know, huh? Whatever man... I was gonna almost say whatever the case but i'm not going to The point is, is that this is a bigger breach. This appears to be they got everybody's name number addresses their medical records and everything in between against talking about how miserable we've become because of the internet and how worsening everything is going to be in the future because of the internet. And in the meantime I'm watching... We need some cyber regulation John

1:54:03 We got plenty of cyber regulation. We need more cyber regulation, more to stop the hacks and glitches, glitches and giggles! So I'm watching The Morning Show with Charlie and he's on with... Good Lord, Nora is not on she's getting an award or something so they brought in this other woman who Charlie apparently hates. He hates her And because you can just see him bristle every time she speaks. It's also early in the morning he is grumpy already Have you seen his Apple watch? He is wearing that in the morning or only on his own show? Hail Apple! Hail Apple! Hail Apple. I have a clip because he had John Chambers on, I may have to do this in a second... I have John Chambers gobbledygook

CHAPTER 27 / 41 Discussion

John Chambers, Cisco Systems and Internet of Things

Cisco CEO John Chambers appears on Charlie Rose to discuss the "digitization" of countries like France and Germany. The hosts mock the "gobbledygook" and buzzwords used, such as "velocity of change" and "disrupt or be disrupted." Chambers predicts that the "Internet of Things" will connect 500 billion devices and fundamentally change healthcare and supply chains.

john chambers· cisco· internet of things· smart cities· charlie rose· velocity of change

1:54:48 Yeah, that's it. Play John Chambers' Gobbledygook and this is part... This is the future we have to look forward to with guys like this now one of the things you want to want with this clip Is that? This is gobbledygook from beginning to end and Charlie throws in a couple of buzzwords He picked off from his old-is-other show that he does velocity of Change or some crap It means nothing And so we're gonna listen to a clip of bullcrap EP over a six-year period in the mid to high teens. Average income per American person went up in the mid to high teens. Today's leaders are countries like France, Germany India China Italy and Great Britain so I think we need a national program to get us back on track in terms of leading this second generation of the Internet it will be five to ten times the implications of the first what kind of national program

1:55:45 Well, Charlie this will surprise you. One of the countries that's farthest along is France We partner with their President Hollande and Prime Minister Valls Their Secretary of Defense, their Secretary of Economy And your talking about digitizing a country You talk about building out smart cities like Nice or what the best city probably in the world is Barcelona You electrical, you put the electricity of the whole country on the Internet. You train 200 thousand French men and women in the Internet of Things to make this transition. You partner on security. You partner on job creation with MEDEF which is their equivalent of American Chamber of Commerce to create a million jobs and you have leaders who are willing to take good business risks. Can I ask you a question?

1:56:32 Yeah. Is this so we're going to take first, you put the whole electrical grid on the Internet and everything don't touch the modem kids? And then everyone do you have a million new jobs because of internet things is every one of these million people get an Internet thing to hold onto when they manage that I think they put a probe up their butt and very candidly aggressive programs in partner with American company to remake those changes occur You see the same thing occurring in Germany with Merkel where it's all about job creation, GDP growth, inclusion of minorities. But isn't this simply about the pervasiveness of the power of technology and the velocity of change? Nice!

1:57:13 It really is, Charlie. As you know it's like getting phones if you only have two phones the power is four squared. If you have 500 billion devices connected to the internet it will change supply chain or change how things get built. It will change how your viewers receive their products perhaps a drone driven into their home or a Walmart where they call ahead of time and get things set up at a time. It will change every industry, it will probably allow us to live an extra 10 years it has the potential to completely change health care and improve education but the key takeaway Charlie is you've got to disrupt or be disrupted and its going occur much faster pace than we have seen. Thank You John. Alright disruptor be disrupted John Chambers thanks Bend over John just bend over here it is

1:58:04 Disrupt or be disrupted. That is the key point This is why we need to really be thinking outside of the box I mean, let me grow my... The velocity of change man Valley bull crap It's the velocity of change Fuck! They're all eating it up. They're lapping it up Velocity of change baby its eat-or-be-changed or uprooted your thing on the internet healthcare whoa And you lived 10 years longer, did you catch that? Yes! Thank you. I'm waiting for my power on the internet. That's what i'm...I've heard of internet over power lines but completely new and very exciting technology is power over internet. I love it. I'm gonna show myself old by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah, they'd be fab Oh no agenda

CHAPTER 28 / 41 Discussion

Listener Donations, Rotterdam and New England Slang

The hosts acknowledge a variety of listener donations from Florida, Australia, and Rotterdam. They highlight a donor from New Hampshire using the regional term "wicked good." The segment concludes with a "jobs karma" soundbite for listeners seeking employment, maintaining the show's tradition of interactive listener support.

CHAPTER 30 / 41 Discussion

Opioid Crisis Statistics, Prescription Rates and Solution Space

Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell testifies about the opioid epidemic, noting that overdose deaths now exceed car accident fatalities. She reveals that 259 million opioid prescriptions were written in 2012, nearly one for every adult in the U.S. The hosts mock her use of corporate jargon like "solution space" and "prescribing space" during her testimony.

opioid crisis· hhs· sylvia mathews burwell· prescriptions· heroin· solution space

2:07:42 And a question came up about the prescriptions in the United States of Gitmo Nation of opioids. Now, these are prescriptions that people pick up and take not what you get in the hospital so what would that be? Oxy...? Mostly oxy. Mostly oxy. And that's...that category How many prescriptions do you think there are on an annual basis for opioids in the United States. Prescription that you take good pills? Yeah I would guess 10 million. Ten million and of course a lot of people wind up switching to heroin which is cheaper

2:08:25 Yeah, it does the same thing too. And it's a little cooler you know you get to do in the bathrooms clandestine with a syringe yeah it's cool all the kids are doing it In our budget there is 99 million additional dollars to implement an evidence-based strategy on the problem let's just quickly touch on the problem when we think about the problems as you articulated in your district across the country Opioid and overdose deaths have exceeded the number of deaths from car accidents or any other accidental death. I always like these kinds of statistics because we are mostly afraid of ISIS

2:09:02 ISIS is gonna kill us. Yeah, I think ISIS has killed a couple people yeah sure as good beheaded some so-called the headings but now how many car accidents are there 40,000 in the year 2012 there were 259 million prescriptions for opioids Wow Well, I was going to say we're all high For opioids that's more than one for every adult would you say that again? 250 million prescriptions in 2012 for opioids and you know it's got to be better now. Oh

2:09:44 Two hundred and fifty- Three years later. 259 million prescriptions for, everybody's high! Everybody's high!! This is fantastic no wonder and what can we do? What can we do to combat this?! So that's how many prescriptions there were so that's more than the number of adults in our country so that was one prescription for every adult in the country in terms of where we are and the magnitude of the problem let's go to the solution space Oh great term We got to remember that. Solution space? Space! Space, no she said... yeah you're right solution space let's go to the solution space hear it again. The problem let's go to the solution space. This is nice but add that one I'm writing it down Let's get out of my wheelhouse and go to the solution space and ping me about it after the show See this was working with Bill & Melinda Gase Foundation where that comes from Oh yeah You can just see Belinda saying it Tom uh Bill's thinking the solution space should be over here

2:10:42 is better for the feng shui. A big part of the problem. That's interesting, she said three areas we need to focus did she just miss the word on or is this another thing another language thing I'm not understanding like solution space? She said one No, she said there are three things who need to focus Three basic areas We need to focus three needed three basic areas who need to focus doesn't say on Is that is that something I'm missing or she just forgot well? Oh, I think this it's proper

2:11:29 It's not as bad as hospital and university the way those are. We need, three things we need to focus on. Okay so we're focusing those things? We're not focusing on them? So we need to make these things... The way she does it it sounds fine I don't know play it again! Ann worked with the Congress there are a number of bills here up on the hill right now three basic areas we need to focus one is prescribing A big part of the problem, as you can see from that number is prescribing. What we need to do there is we need to provide new prescribing guidelines for pain and pain medication that will help the problem but also in the prescribing space states need to do what are called prescription drug monitoring plans. Sounds like a way to get more into people's hands. Prescribing space? Prescribing space! What is wrong with her?

CHAPTER 31 / 41 Discussion

Medical Record Privacy, Insurance Companies and Chinese Hackers

The discussion focuses on the push to digitize all medical records, which the hosts argue makes them vulnerable to hackers and exploitation by insurance companies. They warn that "sharing information" is a euphemism for allowing insurers to access blood tests and health data to justify raising rates. They emphasize that patients technically own their records but often sign those rights away.

medical records· privacy· hipaa· insurance companies· data breach· electronic health records

2:12:17 It's a space. It's the space, it's Silicon Valley crap. You're right, Mill and Belinda Gates. They are almost in all 50 states and they are the means by which a physician has the opportunity to look up and see that a controlled substance was already given to you and control it that way same thing with pharmacists. Here we go now this is a Here's a problem. They're true to, they want to computerize everything I've been kind of following this and they want to computerize everything so in fact my local doctor had to move all the regular records even though I know they cheated and they didn't do it right but they just you know scanned it and then fuck it and put it into some computerized record so now that can be stolen by Chinese Chinese hackers of course yes And also they could they could they really concerned about this thing where you have

2:13:07 Now, one thing we have to remember is that at least by today's laws your medical records belong to you. Nobody can look at your medical records without your permission. Which you sign away upon every intake anyway... Not necessarily. Most people, you don't have to... You don't have to most people do And most people don't even know that this rule exists They think oh the doctor I wonder if i ever get to see my records? I don't know maybe the doctor will let me see them The doctor has to let you see them But this is one of the things they want to do, but people out there got more than one doctor. And you might have some ailment that you want to keep to yourself. Chlamydia

2:13:52 or something. We weren't going to talk about that on the show and maybe you may, you have it? Is that the problem? No just kidding thanks You may have some or you have a some ailment are you got your growing a second head let's use that and you have a neighbor who is a doctor who is good friend of yours and he's treating his neighbor I've go this other head growing here He has a head growing And your neighbors helping because he's you know he's a doctor he can prescribe stuff but do want keep it as secret yes because don't want getting out that you have a second head growing. Yeah, because you're trying to hide it under your jacket and stuff. And so you go to your regular doctor or the guy you normally see for minor things and he's one of the guys... That chatterbox, you don't want him talking about it either.

2:14:36 You don't want it out in the open. You don't want it in public domain, you know what Chinese hackers are getting ahold of this information but they that's not the way they see it They want everything out there So why well maybe insurance companies will have a different schedule for growing oh Yes Insurance companies would love to get ahold of your medical records so they can spell Oh This guy his numbers are terrible on this last blood test Let's just jack up is rate Mm-hmm. That's what this is. And that's just a horrible, horrible situation and they're trying to make it sound as though everything... Oh she's up there! Oh maybe you know we can look it up and see that your been prescribed OxyContin from another doctor so you're getting two doses of the OxyContin? No no no you can't do that. That's not what this is about It's about insurance companies getting these documents by making it seem like sharing information is good. It's not good Even more egregious

CHAPTER 32 / 41 Discussion

Naloxone Overdose Treatment, Meth Complications and Flakka

The hosts discuss the use of Naloxone (Narcan) by first responders to reverse heroin overdoses. They share an anecdote from a firefighter who dislikes the drug because patients often wake up in a violent, meth-fueled rage. The segment also touches on the rise of the synthetic drug "Flakka" in Florida and its bizarre effects on users.

naloxone· heroin overdose· meth· first responders· flakka· florida

2:15:35 is her third solution space, which has been countered vigorously by bad Chad there in Colorado in the boulders area. And here it is. Already given to you and control it that way, same thing with pharmacists. So prescribing is number one. Number two is the use of naloxone which is a very important drug that actually stops death when there is overdose and making sure that first responders have access. Okay this is the bring back-to-life injections like an EpiPen for an overdose of heroin. It's mainly used for heroin

2:16:12 And in fact, I think she...I'll have to look it up and see if more people die from heroin overdose or oxy-overdose. It's the same thing but it just comes in a different form. Bad Chad who works as a fireman but he is really a medical first responder, he hates this because a large portion of over heroin overdosers are on meth And so you bring the sucker back to life who's OD'd and then the effect of the heroin subsides. Then, then you have The Incredible Hulk in your vehicle who is completely crazed on meth and the guy is like puking and bloodin' and trying to kick your ass. He would rather... People would rather have these- You've talked about this before? Yeah! It's horrendous

2:17:02 So he's like, you know what? It'd be better if he just died. Go away! Don't have to come the next time." He didn't say that. I'm paraphrasing my own interpretation. I don't want get him in trouble A lot of people, they're on meth and then they take heroin. They go up overdose come back and then they're back on meth not good! That is a very important part of that picture Nick Kristof even had a piece about it this week Oh well now that's good to go if Nick Kristoff the CIA shill for The New York Times wrote about it had a piece on in the peace space Number three is the issue of medicated assisted treatment combined with behavioral issues And making sure we do treatment for those who are addicted

2:17:42 Yeah, this is none of this is good. And meanwhile Flocka is selling like hotcakes in Florida seems to be outstripping cocaine. Why would anybody use this stuff? If you just listen to a few descriptions of the kind of process you might go through if you take just a milligram too much Yeah, you strip down naked. You start humping trees and... You go nuts! I mean it's humorous It's great. It's entertaining. I like it We could have a reality show Flokka this week on Flocka This Week in Flocka Now your talking This week in Flocka This Week in Flocka we might have to do that segment

CHAPTER 33 / 41 Discussion

Tokyo Red Light District, UN Peacekeeper Abuse and Haiti

A brief report on the declining prices in Tokyo's red light district due to the economy is followed by a serious discussion of a UN report. The report alleges that UN peacekeepers in Haiti and Liberia routinely trade food and medication for sex, with many claims involving children. The hosts criticize the "highly esteemed" institutions like the UN and Red Cross for systemic corruption.

tokyo· red light district· un peacekeepers· haiti· sexual exploitation· red cross

2:18:29 Alright, so we got that out of the way. Yeah there's one other this is from your from Dvorak space John C. Dvorak filled with all kinds of Economic indicators and as we know John when the economy goes down the tubes what happens? The hookers get cheaper and better looking correct sir in Tokyo right now the going price according to the headline Oral sex now just $15 in Tokyo's red light district. Thanks to bad economy Wow nice 15 is God that Best price best price that would be in China. Well, we don't have any hooker report from China yet yet yet

2:19:19 I've got one for you. This one, you'll like it. Good times! This one here is the UN Peacekeepers raping children. Hello Haiti! A draft United Nations report has found UN peacekeepers routinely trade goods for sex with women in countries like Haiti and Liberia who are desperate for food and medication The report details nearly 500 claims of sexual exploitation and abuse over several years a third of them involving children Does anyone have a clue about these UN peacekeepers? First they brought cholera, now they're raping kids in Haiti. Well that's not entirely true John they're trading goods Oh that's true they're not just... Hey you want to eat? Hey listen kid I can get this for 15 bucks in Japan okay and Tokyo so listen You'll like this bread

2:20:10 This slice of bread. This is so horrible! What did you say? Hello, mom is an old joke. It's a punchline to an old joke. Um... That's bad To review. No, let's not review. People in my immediate area are saying oh man this Red Cross I had no idea what happened to only six homes you know this is shut up that's nothing there's still a hundred thousand people living in tents Oh really? Yeah and the UN blue helmets came in and they gave them cholera Oh really? And now they're raping kids! Yeah but how about those six homes from the red cross Nobody wants to hear this stuff. No, these are institutions Oh the Red Cross It's an institution highly a highly esteemed United Nations peacekeepers highly esteemed Institutions with the blue hats Yeah heaven forbid that they're you know or corrupt organizations in any way from the get-go from the baseline it's unconscionable

CHAPTER 34 / 41 Discussion

Generic Drug Deterrence, Seniors and Viagra in Care Homes

The hosts analyze a PBS NewsHour segment suggesting that Medicare plans are cutting back on name-brand pills designed to deter abuse in favor of generics. They also discuss reports of rampant sexually transmitted diseases in elderly care homes, attributed to the easy availability of Viagra and a lack of awareness among the senior population.

generic drugs· pbs newshour· seniors· viagra· stds· nursing homes

2:21:10 Unconscionable. Play this clip, I think this is a neuro-linguistic thing. This is the PBS NewsHour misdirected news anomaly about drugs. On the NewsHour online with the abuse of prescription painkillers a growing problem especially among seniors A new study finds that Medicare drug plans are actually cutting back on coverage of name brand pills designed to deter abuse Read more about the study and the case against generics on our home page. Please don't use generics! Wow... How did they go from, oh there's a horrible problem with the misuse of drugs and what was that thing? How'd that thing go in the other more truth is what was that thing he used for the NLP

2:21:55 the statement he said. What is also true... And what is also true, generic suck! But I think this ties right back into and I'll read the report, I didn't know of its existence what Dogface said is uh man that's bad um dog face yeah sad dog face. Sad sack would be better because so one of the way I interpret what she just said on PBS NewsHour is that people are getting shitty drugs, they have the bad drugs. They're ODing on because it's easy access to generics we need all this computerized... That's what it sounds like! Yeah so computerize, you can't get your drugs from overseas I don't have a clip of it It is my understanding that

2:22:41 the, um... that venereal diseases sexually transmitted disease why don't we say venereal diseases anymore? Why is it all sexual sexually transmitted STDs. Why don't we say venereal disease anymore I think people who can't even know what that word means anymore. There you go so sexually transmitted diseases but its too many syllables That uh... Venereals like venial sin that sexually transmitted disease are rampant in care homes for the elderly due to easy access to Viagra. Oh, that would make sense! Right? Yeah you can get Viagra but you can't get anything else and if you can it's expensive. Keep them happy. It's a giant ripoff. Keep them happy keep them happy all right now I think you'll like this The Iron Dome

CHAPTER 35 / 41 Discussion

Iron Dome Defense System, Rafael Advanced Defense and Animation

The hosts examine the marketing of the Iron Dome defense system by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. They play a promotional video that uses high-quality animation to demonstrate the system's effectiveness against "asymmetric threats." They question the lack of clear, non-animated footage showing the system intercepting actual Hamas rockets in real-time.

iron dome· israel· rafael advanced defense systems· hamas rockets· missile defense· sales pitch

2:23:41 Which we have sold to Israel right now if you look around on That internet thing careful because the other hook and the power up to it so be very careful your browser might just fry You hit cross wires If and we've discussed this I believe somewhere around the 600s in episode count that you there's lots of these demonstrations. You see these rockets go up, you hear the sirens and then they kind of look like firecrackers like... And it just kinda- you don't even see the incoming Hamas rocket It's hard to find a video There is a video

2:24:25 where it's a security cam video and then you see like, a truck drive by and then you see one of those...it looks like a model rocket. Like an Atlas V, Atlas 5 model rocket kind of clatters down on the pavement. It doesn't create a crater or anything just a smoke bomb So the validity, and I don't live there so we see pictures of them sticking in the sand. You know what I mean? But do you really see a lot of huge craters created by these Hamas rockets? No! It's fine...I'd love to see but please prove me wrong. This multi-billion dollar project of which a significant portion is created by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems

2:25:07 And so as I was looking around for videos of rockets from Hamas, and then I see a lot of videos of these missiles going up from the portable...and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems make portable launchers. It's kind of cool some of these videos it makes like a grid because they all have contrails as they go off and they fly left and right and curve up again and then explode apparently hit a Hamas rocket you don't see it Now, I'm going to play... it's four and a half minutes in length. I'm not gonna play the whole thing. This is the video from Rafael themselves where they promote this defense system because of course we love doing that great video completely animated they have a couple of videos this one is the sales pitch completely animated and is beautiful. Short-range rocket and artillery attacks are lethal menace

2:26:14 They endanger the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians and inflict heavy damages to property. They are becoming a strategic threat with a wave of its innovative wand, Rafael has developed a first-of-its kind counter rocket artillery mortar C-RAM system with pinpoint accuracy interceptors against asymmetric threats Iron Dome How cool is this? This is great. I would, and when he says the wave of his magic wand you see kind of like a Tony Stark... Yeah, I'm imagining Zorro as well. Well, well! You see a little animated guy like it's more like Darth Vader with the cape.

2:26:56 And he does, and these little yellow streams of starlights go out and shoot the rockets down. Oh no, the clips in the show knows! Of course a little more of this before we go to the panel? You're all gonna love it. A trailer for a good movie. And the voiceover is fantastic death and destruction can be avoided In an unprecedented short time, Rafael has met the challenge. Offering an innovative CRAM system which... CRAM system? ...has successfully passed a series of challenging tests against a wide variety of threats proving its outstanding effectiveness The system includes A battle management and control unit, BMC The BMC! Battle Management Control Unit We do acronyms like nobody else's business Detection and tracking radar

2:27:53 User friendly! Okay, I'll stop here. But it's just another three minutes of this crap And it's all animated. Now, the Israeli homeland defense... Well Israel is obviously being used as the testing ground for the sales pitch and they're going to sell these things once the Iranians get their nuke or they demonstrate that can do one and blow it up somewhere in there. Oh my God! And everyone else arms through the teeth which is what McCain and Lindsey Graham want to see because I got some angle in there we don't know what it is specifically although we can go dig it out of

CHAPTER 36 / 41 Discussion

Iron Dome Sound Effects, Sweetened Audio and Arms Sales

Adam Curry points out that a "real" video of the Iron Dome system operating at night appears to have "sweetened" audio. He identifies repetitive, artificial "pew-pew" and shotgun sound effects used to represent missile launches and interceptions. The hosts argue this proves the footage is a produced sales pitch intended to sell the multi-billion dollar system to other nations.

iron dome· sound effects· foley· rafael· arms sales· middle east

2:28:37 bowels of the Congress, congressional basement if we go where one of our buddies goes. One of our producers and they're gonna arm to the teeth in this Rafael operation is going to sell the Iron Dome to Saudi Arabia. We're gonna have good relations with Iran so they can buy one and then Lebanon's gonna need one... And then... Right. So I'm gonna back to what you said right at the beginning of that. that the Israeli Homeland Defense will, it's IHLS. I think it is or Israeli Homeland Defense Services whatever

2:29:15 They want to, they're going to help sell it now. So this video is good but you need some kind of proof to be in the pudding. You need to see that...you need to see the thing working for reals. That's what why I, that's how we sell all our jets and everything else not all theory right? Right so they have a video it is from their YouTube account from the Israeli Homeland Defense Department Systems Incorporated And you're not going to believe, you're gonna be so unbelieving of what I'm gonna believe for you here that...I will have probably send you the link. You will not believe it. They have a video and they also have this animated video on their YouTube channel and on their website. Then they have a video, its a night time video of this Iron Dome, the Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Iron Dome Mobile Rocket Launcher

2:30:08 under attack, were under attack from incoming Hamas rockets. And you see them all going up now there are many videos of this again I was looking at everything and when they intercept the magical rocket that i can't see could just be my eyes could be resolution the video doesn't matter when they intercept them it's almost like a gunshot you know when you hear a gun shot on television is like Or like this, you know? Silencer. Silencer! That's not what a silencer really sounds like but okay So I guess for the last portion of the video where they're showing this nighttime sequence Somebody wasn't happy with the soundtrack to the missiles bringing the Hamas rockets down so what do you do John if you and i are producing this What do you do? You sweeten it I don't know if you could hear this

2:31:14 These are... It's a shotgun shot. It's like, it's the sound effect! Pew pew! Pew pew! I think that was the exact same sound effects i was using in the burn down of the club 33. The sound effect this is insane! Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew- and its the same one over and over again no difference in distance in com or nothing Yeah, it's like... I'm just gonna do that in the same spot. They don't even vary the gain! More balance than nothing! Hey! What are you trying to squ- what are you trying to query the deal? Yeah, you're screwing up with your screwing up our sales pitch dude. Funny. Well this is going to continue Money needs to be made

2:32:10 And then they'll blow each other up. We don't care. Ultimately, it's all about money Yeah, just be rubble eyes at the end and boom more money to be made rebuilding I mean it's a bonanza pew-pew pew-pew It'd be like Kuwait, like somebody always pointed out years and years and years ago. Somebody pointed out to me if you wanna see a modern city built by Americans you just go look in Google and do overhead shots of these cities like Dubai, Baghdad anything and then look at Kuwait. Kuwait is perfectly lined up it's done by engineers it's the perfect

Dutch Education Propaganda, Russia-Ukraine Map and Workbooks

The hosts critique a Dutch vocational high school workbook that uses a cartoon map to depict geopolitical relations. The map shows a "sad" Europe reaching out to Ukraine while a "monstrous" red Russia with claws and teeth chomps on the country. They describe this as "propaganda of the lowest order" being taught to children in the Netherlands.

netherlands· education· propaganda· russia· ukraine· vocational school· map

2:32:49 example of what kind of work we do. I've been to Kuwait City, it's nice! Yeah it's nice and that way is going to be everywhere. Indeed. We're gonna rebuild it. Alright let me see if there anything under Russia... oh yeah man I should have posted this picture for you darnit in the Netherlands, who of course even though most of the GDP of The Netherlands is based on importing storing and exporting Russian oil and gas. I'm going to send this article to you John hold on a second...I'll send you this link through the transom

2:33:29 You know, obviously we have to hate the Russians. Just gotta hate the Russians! Screw Russia, screw Putin...the Russians suck!" Yeah until they give us Snowden back. I mean it's no coincidence that all this began when Snowden moved there So this has been integrated into Dutch education But then the Russians are a-holes? A-holes and evil and just bad bad bad so they have in their textbook themes in social studies This is a preparatory middle-level vocational education, which is a very well defined school track in the Netherlands. It's high school but it's vocational based and in this workbook there's a piece that says the workbook is updated on an annual basis and contains many current and diverse sources with assignments The workbook has indeed been updated And they have this picture I'm going to send this link to you right now of Russia

2:34:26 to teach people... Here's the question. This is, I think in the workbook so there are questions in it. The question is what is...in Dutch? I'm translating on the fly. What is Russia doing and what is Europe doing in this picture? I've just put that link on the transom. I just Skyped it to you now. Describe what you're seeing in this workbook for high school children. Okay hang on So do you see a map? Oh brother! Are you kidding me?! No Alright, I'll describe it. They've taken the map of Europe and made into a like a giant cartoon And they have got the Europe The EU is in green and there's no borders or anything and then Russia is over to the right in red But they put a face a little cartoon face on Europe and he's got a helping handout and he looks kind of sad Like you just kinda said like he kinda looks like that woman that we're talking about earlier It's sad and droopy

2:35:25 and then Russia is red, it's red. It's red and it has got teeth and claws bear claws and I don't know what that brown thing but its got a hand out like he's going to grab it and it has got angry birds eyeball thing with the down turn. This is the stupidest thing imaginable! And what does it do? What is it doing? It is chomping on Ukraine. Yeah, it's chomping. And Ukraine has little hand trying to reach out to Europa And you see below that, you see another hand which I don't know if that hand is... Oh, okay. That hand is not Russia's hand it's Ukraine's trying to reach out and then there's a hand below trying to grab... Which I think that's feeding Ukraine to Russia. Oh, you think Europe? That's the European hand yeah? Yeah but it's southern eastern part of Europe. The States... Maybe it is feeding it

Negative Population Growth, Classroom Posters and Social Studies

A social studies teacher writes in about "The Negative Population Growth" (NPG.org), an organization that provides free classroom materials. These materials reportedly teach children about the "evils" of having children, the dangers of immigration, and global warming. The hosts express interest in obtaining the "scary" projected population posters for their own studios.

2:36:20 It's stupid. It's propaganda of the highest order! No, the lowest order. Okay... point made I can't believe this. This is the danger of stuff, this is why I'm so happy we have parents who... well in fact let me...I received a note which and that'll be my last thing for today I wanted to read this note it was really beautiful oh maybe this is a donation that came in on or read will read this one on Thursday show his donation came in after they cut off a teacher Well, I'll tell you. Read the note we can just put the donation separately. Ryan Thompson... This donation should complete my quest to knighthood so it will be Knightingham on Thursday but i've been listening since my college days multiple years ago now i'm a social studies teacher i'm able to hit my students in the mouth regularly metaphorically of course You guys have really helped me articulate to my students the critical and skeptical thinking they should have when thinking about the news or about the historical topics we cover in class

2:37:17 Last year, I was the teacher who gave all my students no-agenda CDs when we talked about pipelines in the Middle East and the effect they have on events in the region. As a teacher, I get a lot of emails and letters from different organizations that want me to buy their products for my classroom. One such group caught my eye—I thought you might be interested in them—they're called The Negative Population Growth, mpg.org They have a number of free educational resources including reading posters and assignments that are all geared towards teaching kids about the evils of having children, immigration foreign aid to baby producing third world countries and of course global warming. I want those posters! When i got their letter i of course requested every free product they have one such gem as a poster of the world

2:37:57 that gives projected population stats for the next 100 years and is intended to scare kids into thinking all is lost and only government intervention can solve the problem. Thank you guys for everything you do this year, I'm taking on new classes which include civics in modern US history. I'm looking forward to incorporating more No Agenda style learning into these classes and distributing more No Agenda CDs to students." You know? We save children! I'm proud of it. Because just to keep one guy from putting one of those posters up that most teachers, OK, posters are nice and fulfills that spot. My dreary walls. Wow! Oh my goodness. I would love those posters. Of course we'll get the posters obviously let's get those. We don't need them from him. We'd get him directly from the operation

2:38:50 I like what you're doing. I'm all in on what you're doing, and I think you are doing wonderful work! Can i get some posters please? Yeah, I have a podcast. A podcast...I could use them in the studio because people will be very interested to see it. No no no John, you have to frame it differently if you want me don't want him get suspicious uh I mean the part of getting suspicious listen I'm in the podcast space from the podcast space It sounds little more humiliating This would be very useful to me That's that's not even a lie. I'm in the podcast space I'm in the podcast space and this would be very useful to me mm-hmm not alive

Ellen Ray Obituary, Jim Garrison and Angela Merkel Phone Tap

The hosts note the passing of activist Ellen Ray, who published Jim Garrison's memoirs (the basis for the movie *JFK*) and exposed CIA agents. They also discuss German prosecutors closing the investigation into the NSA tapping Angela Merkel's phone, citing a lack of evidence that would stand up in court despite Edward Snowden's documents.

2:39:28 You want to wrap this up, bad boy? I got a couple more things. I want you to get out of the way. Okay let's do it First of all lets... So i tried..I heard about this is the Ellen...it says Ellen Tay But...You're all over the map today with your titles This clip....I heard on Democracy Now! and said well this must be a very interesting person It's dead somebody's an obituary for some woman who busted the CIA's chops about something they passed a bunch of laws so she couldn't do it anymore And she died. And I said, well, who—I've got to find out about her."
