About this episode

CNN International correspondent Lucy Pawle sparked widespread mockery after misidentifying a satirical London Pride banner featuring dildos as an ISIS flag. The network’s failure to recognize the visual gag highlights a significant decline in mainstream journalistic standards as the media grapples with the fallout of the Supreme Court’s marriage ruling. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama’s eulogy for Reverend Clementa Pinckney in Charleston is scrutinized for its political framing of 'grace' and racial bias, punctuated by a production flub where the band missed their cues during a live performance of Amazing Grace.

Global tensions escalate as coordinated terrorist attacks strike Tunisia, France, and Kuwait during Ramadan. In Greece, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras faces a financial shutdown and bank runs after the Eurogroup refused to extend the national bailout, prompting speculation that Russia may intervene to secure the Turkish Stream pipeline. Domestically, the Department of Justice fast-tracked $29 million for Charleston victims while the City of Waco continues to block surveillance footage from the Twin Peaks biker shooting. Additionally, WikiLeaks reveals NSA spying on French officials, and the Department of Homeland Security’s Eagle 2 program faces scrutiny over its $22 billion budget and use of front organizations.

Technical overreach takes center stage as Google Chrome is caught automatically installing audio-capture code for OK Google commands. The segment features a satirical divine intervention sketch where a voice impersonating God addresses modern political rulings. The broadcast concludes with the bizarre arrest of a San Francisco probation officer at Disneyland and a listener-driven War of 1812 donation battle between American and Canadian producers.

CHAPTER 02 / 37 Discussion

CNN Misidentifies Dildo Flag as ISIS Banner

CNN International correspondent Lucy Pawle reported seeing an ISIS flag at a London Gay Pride parade, which was actually a satirical banner featuring silhouettes of dildos and butt plugs. The hosts mock the network's failure to recognize the visual gag, noting that the reporter even contacted the police and event organizers about the "unnerving sight." The segment highlights the decline in mainstream journalistic standards.

02:08 While we play the clip I did extra busted for pornography extra production work is what I did. I Let's explain, I do have a clip of the woman who'd original report you have the full report yeah Yeah It looks like it because it that way that woman is worth scoffing Well, she's also on Twitter. I looked her up on Twitter the woman who came in as the correspondent from England Yeah CNN International on this clip She's on Twitter she hasn't tweeted anything about this. She's getting nothing but grief Good reason yeah, I mean you have a flag okay Here's here's the story for people who haven't followed it and let me give the URL out so people can see it Isis gay flag

02:53 All one word, ISISgayflag.grumpyradio.com Grumpy radio? Yeah. .com? Yeah Been using that for a while So they do this report They have somebody walking down the street with a... As a gestalt it's modeled after the ISIS flag which is very common flag It's not really anything, ISIS just adopted it And uh.. It's an Oakland Raiders flag It's an Oakland Raiders flag. And so they're walking down the street and the flag, instead of having the Arabic on it has a bunch of lewd outlines of dildos and butt plugs. Yeah precisely I think mostly butt plugs to be honest about that Well i'm looking at it right now... I'll see but I see dildo dildo butt plug butt plug butt plug butt plug

03:44 Now, here's a combo dildo butt plug. Dildo, butt plug, butt plug, butt plug... Yeah you're right! Butt plugs win. Lots of butt plugs. So someone is preoccupied with some guy and he's now somebody sees this as an ISIS flag I think by the way if anybody could be accused of blasphemy i think they'd put these things together. So CNN sees this thing and they go ballistic because oh my god, there's a bunch of ISIS people now the gay movement is all gonna be a bunch of terrorists. We don't even know what they're thinking! Because they bring this idiot woman on who is a correspondent in London I feel sorry for her being so naive. But she sounds like a house frow

04:25 She comes on with this, you know, this thick accent and she's talking about it. And then she apparently goes and reports it to the organizers and they say we don't know anything. And then she reports it to the police now I think one of these two groups either the organizers or the police knew what was going on and they shined her on. Watch this man! This will be funny. So you're working for who? CNN. Oh yeah, you should report this. You should put this on the news because it's horrible! Everyone is running home to turn on CNN and they can't wait for this report So I think we should play the clip. An unnerving sight today at a London Gay Pride celebration, an ISIS flag among a sea of rainbow colors CNN International's Simon Editor spotted the flag and was able to snap these pictures Joining me on the phone from London is CNN's international Lucy Paul And CNN National Security analyst Peter Bergen So Lucy I want you start off explaining and describing what you saw and the reaction to it

05:28 Hi there Suzanne, yes I was just leaving work and i came across the Gay Pride March an annual event in London where tens of thousands of people march through London it's a very jovial atmosphere. Jovial? It's gay! It's jovial! One might say it's a gay atmosphere Happy atmosphere And I was just trying to cross Regent Street one of the main shopping streets in London Stop. It sounds like she's- I was going shopping on my way home, but... She sounds so elitaire! Because the march was going down the street when all of a sudden

06:08 This man quite distinctive from the rest of the crowd. He was dressed in black and white whereas everyone else is brightly colored You can see from the photos Yes, it's not just in black and white with waving what appears to be a very bad mimicry But a very clearly clear attempt to mimic the Isis flag the black-and-white flag with the the Anyway, I seem to be the only person who has spotted this and nobody seems to be raising any questions or pointing it out. So I immediately went to an event organizer who said he didn't know anything about it. I also spoke to the police nearby who weren't aware either

07:03 Yeah, it was funny. It's gobbledy-no lady is dildos and butt plugs. Gobbledygook? No! Dildoes and butt plugs very obvious Oh man... CNN at its best. Our show will be on forever if this is the quality of the work they continue to produce. I know. It's fantastic you gotta love it Wow yeah I know yeah flag ISIS, please. But it's a good gag I mean the guy had the whole thing going he had the dark outfit and you know yeah oh yeah together as a guy as a gag is good Like it I am guessing this would be I could predict this and put in the book, but I'm not gonna bother mm-hmm This flag will become commercialized. Oh, I sure hope so Should be on t-shirts that's funny hey man were you wearing Isis t-shirt for it look again? Definitely insulting look against saga Arabic or is that a dildo Exactly

CHAPTER 03 / 37 Discussion

Ashley Banfield and Religious Freedom Restoration Acts

CNN anchor Ashley Banfield discusses the ongoing legal challenges following the Supreme Court's marriage ruling, specifically focusing on state-level Religious Freedom Restoration Acts. The hosts comment on the "stern librarian" persona of the anchor and the chaotic nature of live on-the-spot news stand-ups.

ashley banfield· cnn· scotus· religious freedom· legal challenges

08:03 Well, there's some other funny things. When... and this is we definitely need to deconstruct this Supreme Court decision and how it was responded to universally but also from the White House administration etc., but I did think it was kind of funny how this announcement came down on CNN as I was watching this live And this is Ashley Banfield. I like her, she's got the glasses and that stern look. Oh god, the librarian! Yes yes yes, the pouting librarian look

08:39 You have to listen carefully in the beginning, but at the end it'll be very clear why this was highly inappropriate for CNN's airwaves. Is still the legal challenges that lie ahead believe it or not SCOTUS speaks is not the end of the story Not for some states who still are digging in because there is the issue And I'm going to apologize for the language But it isn't it is a pretty excited era out here. There is the issue of religious freedom restoration acts state to state go to break be right back about every time. We need more of that to be honest about it I think these people they do these on the spot stand-ups which is what they're called, they need to be shouted off the streets well we have the F for writing the P

CHAPTER 04 / 37 Discussion

ISIS Execution Methods and Media Response

A report describes ISIS allegedly celebrating by throwing gay men off buildings, leading to a discussion on the group's specific and brutal execution methods. The hosts question the distinction between various forms of capital punishment used by the group. The conversation transitions into how mainstream media outlets have cherry-picked religious responses to social changes.

isis· executions· human rights· mainstream media· propaganda

09:35 Yeah, there's that. Which no one did! That was... I was just waiting for it. But this person is cussing and screaming and giving the finger or doing anything he can get these people off the streets. It's annoying. The reporters get the reporters off the street. Yes what i'm saying Happy to see that ISIS has once again taking our advice of the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group The headline literally reads ISIS celebrates gay love by tossing four gays from roof a building They finally got it. This is what the big deal is all about, and if you want a group that's marginalized and has the attention... And reporters? Who cares! I don't care if you behead reporters. I just don't understand throwing gays off of buildings. Why not decapitate them when they're beheaded? I don't get that either. What is the difference? Maybe gay blood will get on them or something. That makes no sense. It must be something they really don't like about it.

10:27 Yeah, why don't they... yeah. Throwing them off the roof versus decapitation? Why are they making this distinction?" Yeah I don't know It's all bogus as far as i'm concerned now if they're doing it at all Alright there was a lot of response to this in mainstream media and I've just cherry picked a few Can I... can we... okay just go on with that because I gotta write something now so remember to talk about this Okay This is Franklin Graham son uh..the son of Billy Graham Yes, yes. That's exactly who he is. He's warning what will happen? I'm disappointed because our government is recognizing sin this court is endorsing sin and that's what homosexuality is it's a sin against God just like

CHAPTER 05 / 37 Discussion

Franklin Graham and the Definition of Marriage

Evangelist Franklin Graham expresses disappointment in the government for endorsing what he defines as sin, arguing that the court has no right to redefine marriage. The discussion explores the discrepancy between religious marriage and civil unions, which function as legal contracts for benefits like health insurance and bereavement.

franklin graham· billy graham· marriage licenses· civil unions· religious doctrine

11:15 any other sin. I like all his examples, uh... by the uh... any other sins! Etcetera! But for the court to endorse it and i'm saddened for our country of and so we'll have to go about with what the court says but as far is from me uh... i will never recognize that in my heart because God gave marriage between a man and woman, and that's what marriage is. And I don't think the court since it never defined marriage it doesn't have the right to redefine it. God gave us marriage and thats just period and god does not change his mind.

11:55 I was asking him a question here is that if that's the case, why do you have to go to the courthouse to get a marriage license? You have to get a license. If I want just go to church and get married, I don't need a marriage license...why would it be licensed?" Well this of course is the whole issue is now at federal level, you can obtain a license for same-sex marriage and it has to deemed legal in the state that your're in. It really has nothing to do with the church. But, you know... Who was it that brought this discrepancy out and really explained it well? It was one of these pundits. Which is that church marriage is one thing and civil unions aka a marriage

12:43 codified by law and involved in... Which is just a term being used for legal contracts. It's used for legal purposes because you, the share benefits health insurance there's a lot of bereavement and all that things you can get out of it Oh yeah when I'm worried That's different than church marriages i don't know why they just don't separate these two out Well its supposed to be separated constitutionally Um well theres that You know what I think is happening Christians or the Catholic Church, or whoever is having a big problem with this. They probably are seeing the writing on the wall!

CHAPTER 06 / 37 Discussion

Catholic Church Resistance and the Hosanna-Tabor Case

Catholic Deacon and constitutional lawyer Keith Fournier warns that the state may attempt to invade the church to compel clergy to preside over same-sex ceremonies. The segment references the Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School Supreme Court case regarding ministerial exceptions in employment law. The hosts debate whether the church will truly face state compulsion or if the fears are exaggerated.

catholic church· hosanna-tabor· religious freedom· employment law· keith fournier

13:20 saying, well maybe we'll be forced one day to have this in our club. Because that's what it is church is just a club and so you can do whatever you want in your club. You can refuse as far as I'm concerned but I hope people aren't trying to force churches to doing things differently based upon illegal ruling." It was a Catholic deacon Keith Fournier And I had this in the ready to play on Thursday. I want to play it now So this is this guy's pretty high up in In the structure and he was very clear, and I think well This was before the ruling but he was very clear in the churches the Catholic Church's stance On same-sex marriage. I'd like to add to that not only as a constitutional lawyer But even more as a Catholic clergyman hey He's a constitutional

14:07 Another one. Hosanna Tabor case has protected somewhat. That's actually, this uh... had you heard of this? The Hosanna Tabor case? No. Yeah so I looked this up because he mentions it a couple more times the Hosanna Tabor case was an equal employment opportunity lawsuit against the Hosanna Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School. And there was a woman who, and it really had nothing to do with sexual orientation which is why I find it interesting that the constitutional lawyer brings it up in this case! And it was about her not being able to teach at Sunday school

14:50 You know, she had a meltdown or whatever break down and she had to rest for a month and they hired someone else. And well what this I think kind of specious lawsuit boils down to is did the church have the right to fire her and keep her replacement based on her mental health? So somehow that relates to the church's power or to overrule law That's about the best I can make out of it, but it is something that this referred to a lot. Some of the challenges we're facing already in terms of hiring and firing the Catholic Church are we certainly discriminate against no one and we recognize that every single human person has fundamental human rights including those who are self-professed as gay or lesbian But there is going to be no changing what we have stood for for 2,000 years concerning marriage

15:46 Right now, we're dealing with struggles based on employing people who are in a purported marriage. Men with men women with women and we cannot hire them because they are in fact violating the fundamental teaching of the Catholic Church. Maybe it all comes down to this John maybe it's more about equal employment opportunity than it is about definition of marriage and forcefully executing same-sex marriages in the church. I think there's an element of that but i don't think that really is the basis so far hosanna tabor and the precedents that have come from that have given us some protection but there is no question that matt is correct

16:32 The police power of the state will follow any ruling that says we must give an equal treatment legally to homosexual couples. Now here's the Catholic Church... with a real spokesman for the Catholic Church, constitutional lawyer saying that the police state follows the rule of law. Oh hello New World Order. Or to lesbian couples as we do to marriage and if we don't do so then we will suffer punitive implications now we face the genuine specter

17:09 of the state invading the church and telling us what we can and cannot preach, and what our sacraments are about. That is a threat to fundamental religious freedom Will there be compulsion for priests or deacons in the Catholic Church as priests in Eastern churches? To preside over these services now Our colleague from Americans United says they won't be but we know from the trends have history The police power follows the federal decisions. But we will not and cannot recognize any such thing as marriage between anyone, beside a man and woman And if the state tries to compel us to do so We must and we will resist. But resist we much! We must and we will much about that be committed So the church will resist? This is not going to happen

18:09 It's like one of these, it's like the fears. Oh they're gonna do make us do this thing where I make him do anything not to do anything? They don't have to. Okay i'm a gay couple by myself somehow. I'm a gay couple and I want to get married because of all kinds of reasons, my beloved partner could be one of the reasons... And so I'm either going to go to City Hall and get married there or I'm gonna get married in some private ceremony. I'm not gonna force myself Catholic Church you've got to marry me! You're not even a Catholic prophet! Well that depends John That would depend entirely if your mission was to destroy the church

CHAPTER 07 / 37 Discussion

Mike Huckabee, Orval Faubus, and Civil Rights Comparisons

Pundit Ron Fournier compares Mike Huckabee's refusal to heed the Supreme Court ruling to former Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus's opposition to desegregation. Additionally, Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King Jr., is featured expressing her belief that divine authority remains higher than the Supreme Court.

mike huckabee· orval faubus· ron fournier· alveda king· civil rights

18:51 and or morph it into the church of the religion of science. You know, the Catholic Church has a lot of mobsters as members really? And I think you probably put a stop to that pretty quickly. It's not going to happen. OK, two more clips then from the mainstream this is Oh, okay. Here we see a nice link made between gay marriage and segregation by some writer Ron Fournier is he from the... He must be a right-wing guy let's listen. I want to circle back to Huckabee. He didn't just call this judicial tyranny. He said he's not going to heed this ruling that it's an unconstitutional ruling now This is the guy I covered in Arkansas There was another governor former governor who I ran into a few times in Arkansas named Orval Faubus

19:44 Mike Huckabee today sounds just like Orval Faubus. It is the Supreme Court, like it or not... Switch out civil rights and put in gay rights and Mike Huckabee is on a wrong side of history he should be ashamed of himself. Ooh! That's a nice comparison. Yeah. And then finally before I think we should do some analysis on this Is this daughter or granddaughter of Martin Luther King Jr., Alveda King? Maybe a daughter, I'm not sure And she just believes God will fix all of this. I like that, I like her attitude. I believe if my granddaddy Dr Martin Luther King Sr were here today he would say keep looking up! That was one of his favorite scriptures you know and so we have common law and the Supreme Court has exercised that from their high place of authority and yet God is even higher than the Supreme Court So the verdict is not totally in We're still praying and waiting to hear from God

CHAPTER 08 / 37 Discussion

Satirical Divine Guidance Call-In Segment

The hosts engage in a satirical sketch featuring a voice impersonating God answering questions about marriage and social issues. The bit includes technical audio effects and mocks the idea of waiting for a direct sign from heaven regarding political rulings.

20:42 and that's my position. It would be funny if he called in the middle of the broadcast. Hello? Hello! Wait a minute, hello who is this? This is The Great One In The Sky! Hello Great One In The Sky we've been waiting for you I'm here to answer your questions Yes We're waiting for your guidance Line one Answer question Uh, line one. Hi!

You'll have to ask Santa Claus for that We're going to hell we're going to hell for this Well anyway any guidance from me God before we-I know you're busy guy and I don't want to uh- I am too busy for this crap Why are you bothering me?!

21:51 Because we're...Velveta King says we should wait for God. Well, God listen to Velveta Yet you have to see what pastors and preachers across America are going to do So it's going to be a long hot summer and an interesting year ahead God will it be an interesting year in a long hot summer? The summer has been predicted To be violent and hot Now love and sex are two entirely different things. Excuse me God, could you please explain to me the difference between love and sex? Mind your own business! You seem really grouchy god this is I don't what is going on with this. I'm the god of hellfire Fire

22:36 And so who is anyone to argue about who can love who? But sex, procreation that kind of thing God has some specific plans for that. Excuse me god could I ask you what your plans are for loving whomever i want to love? Why do keep annoying me?! and so I say that love it's universal and we should be able to love whom ever but there are some guidelines for sexuality Oh god could you please give me the guidelines from my sexuality I should have never signed with this agency. And we're not going to be able to throw that out the window, so people have not been taught, not properly educated it's not to be done in a hateful manner So there is a lot of teaching to be done Lagarde what kind of teaching needs to be done regarding this very hot topic?

23:28 Go to church more often. Now you're just stretching and a lot of loving can be done And I believe that God is going to guide us I've been praying more now than I've ever prayed before and so I do want to say that love and sex are two different things and So as we begin to learn that and move forward with compassion, I believe that God is going to surprise us I really do god Are you going to surprise us? Yeah Just wait So God, I have a question. If having sex before marriage is uh...is a sin how can it be okay- Hey, hey producer! Can we go to line two? Oh god!

White House Rainbow Lighting and Divorce Rate Theories

The White House was illuminated in rainbow colors following the SCOTUS decision, leading to theories about the speed of the administration's response. The hosts discuss potential geopolitical and social implications, including cynical theories about population control and the statistical likelihood of divorce within the LGBT community compared to the general population.

white house· barack obama· divorce rates· population control· putin

26:09 Yeah, it's not again today. No son. It's been pretty good here in Austin too. Not bad Okay So the White House was lit up with the rainbow colors And that done so quick they might have been at the ready You would think, although one of our producers... Decision next thing you know boom the White House is lit up. They sent out emails using the new logo with a gay white house and then they have to get Wait a minute! The Gay White House? What does the gay white house look like in with the logo It looks like it's all little it's got all the colors. It's a colorful little thing And go to the Twitter account you can see if there are it's in the newsletter Yes, as you said

26:52 To me, that you had a theory about all this. I wanted to give you my four possibilities first. I have a number of theories the one i'm going to just throw out at the beginning is that this is a preemptive strike to promote gay just in case Hillary is somehow brought out of the closet. Whoa! Yeah? Nice! Nice one. It's well, you know... Well I had four other theories first of all and I try to teach myself this This made a lot of people really happy

27:39 A lot of people were happy about this decision. You could see it. Oh yeah, no I think that... oh yeah no. Amen. That was a positive thing. Very positive. And mostly straight people were happy. It brings up my cynical comment now what are they gonna bitch about? Well uh i've thought about this But first, I really have to say that I didn't really want to deconstruct this particular piece because i saw the happiness. Mainly my straight friends are all very happy which is puzzling... It's true! It is true. Yeah everybody's happy because everyone gets this item off the table for one thing a lot of people were upset by it hmm I'm in you know the big San Francisco Bay Area so it's like I'm surprised it took so long for this to come to me

28:30 But I'm also surprised that the Californians voted against legalizing marijuana. So there's these issues, yeah? Okay now number two of course is this could be a new world order population control mechanism you know let's get more people marrying same-sex and we'll have The theory might be that there would be less children made, although that doesn't really seem true. A lot of couples want to adopt kids... I agree. ...that may not really work out. That's why it says it's just one possible theory. Now, I have to say in my experience—just my experience and I have two experiences—marriage really messes up good relationships. You know? Everything is going along fine you get married and everything goes to shit

29:15 That's what it is supposed to do. Marriage is the number one cause of divorce, so the result long term will be a lot of single divorced LGBT with alimony payments and child support payments. The alimony payment they have not anticipated! Welcome to the party everybody! That little that little piccadillo has not been anticipated at all. Oh, yeah We'll find it to be very distressing yes Welcome welcome so this can only result in more single people This is fact what's the divorce rate in America 47% now high? Wait that's an issue Yeah we need we need to take a look

30:00 Divorce rate in America, let me see. Do we have? I think it's like 38 something like that. I thought it was 47. I don't think it said how many men might be well widely quoted 50%, but that's probably a myth. That's too much. That's too much. Well here's a map the Huff Post has a map divorce map and it certainly somewhere between 30 and 40 and 45%. It's high is high Yeah. So there's no... Oh, wait I think I may have it. But I would say in my everyone is equal gays have no leg up on so to speak on having better marriages than straights? No way! And then finally of course the ... I think this hit... It's not that high okay here we go

30:52 Divorces per 1,000 married couples ages 18 to 54. If you're Bangladesh... And this is by ethnic group. Bangladeshi 4%. Filipino and white seems to be the highest at 29%." Okay how about gays? They don't have gays on here well that's lame Well, they just don't because there's not enough to... But will we be able to... Can you track it that way? I mean this is tracked by ethnicity. Eventually sure why not? This is tracked by ethnicity. Let's say 30%. So will white gays still be divorcing at 30%? The highest... There's another chart I found that is different. This is an important question do gays have and I should say

31:32 lesbian, gays, bisexual, bicurious transgender queer question intersex allies asexual and pansexuals. Do they have some secret to a better marriage? No this is a myth So the only other thing I could think of which i think made some sense Putin! We're ready to go on an all-out assault about how Putin hates gays it'll be used for sanctions and all kinds of stuff like that Could be. Right? I like that! Yeah, that was my brain fart last night. Putin's involved... You know, Putin... Boy there is a bunch of Putin stuff. Unfortunately we don't have clips for this but there is a bunch of Putin stuff taking place and he just seems to be behind so many little things that are going on now. And he's smirking about them too

32:19 Yeah, he figures you know. He's not a did you know the Russians aren't stupid and they're what's at the KVH? What is the name of their intelligence group now Kvh can remember yeah FSB FSB those guys there You know bad actors and they can cause the same kind of trouble CIA can oh yeah Oh, yeah, so we always have to be on the lookout We've got Hollywood. You know it's like this hard-to-beat Hollywood It really is. Well, since you mentioned Hollywood I can...I've got some thoughts on Hollywood if you want to change the topic well i think the transition from gays to hollywood was like a perfect segue all right ladies and gentlemen time for Hollywood that came to the conclusion there was a hit piece that was done on real sports

33:12 You mean, is this a channel Real Sports or is it TV show? Real Sports with Brian Gumbel. Oh okay! It's HBO there's no commercial so they can do stuff that you can't do on like we do right you can't do if you have an advertiser and the network can't do because they went after people like Coca-Cola and McDonald's in this piece for supporting Qatar and their Olympics that are up coming up. Oh wait, Qatar is up for the Olympics as well?! No, I'm sorry for the FIFA. Oh World Cup. Yeah, yeah, yeah Olympics fight is saying well it's corrupt here corrupt there advertising so This I wonder anyone out there who's a would-be journalist Would like you know studying it maybe a student any student out there if you want to see an outrageous one of the greatest hit pieces I have ever seen in my life and

34:05 You have to watch the Real Sports on HBO with Brian Gumbel. Find and get a copy of it, it's about Qatar and its about the corruption and is about what a bunch of dickheads they are and just relentless It was done by a guy...and this all triggered by the following thought here I'm trying to follow me here The guy who did the report, I've never seen him on the show before Okay so he's a shill Well, I don't know what he is but he's good And this was all triggered by somebody sending me an email saying, hey do you know they're gonna do a movie about the... Yes! Oh that's right. About the FIFA scandal? And isn't it a Brad Pitt production? No Ben Affleck. Oh well we know- That guy

34:51 We know how that works. He did the... what was the big movie? Argo! Argo, right State Department movie. Ben Affleck okay let's back up a little bit we've determined that Ben Affleck who is married to Jennifer Garner and if you read the book Hollywood in The CIA which I haven't read they don't specifically say it but it has been talked about how them about the show Alias was Pretty much handled by the it was a CIA operation handled by the CIA or it was controlled by them and Jennifer Garner is in that thing. She was a star she's married to Ben Affleck who directed Argo and they give away about Ben Affleck somehow being involved with the agency is that he

35:33 He got the movie got nominated for Best Movie and there's a bunch of other nominations except director Except for director, which is so rare. Yeah It's like Hollywood said you know We know what's going on here well with the movies good will boom dominate for best movie But you're not getting any nomination dude Well it won best movie and you recall Michelle Obama was our go didn't win best movie yes it did You sure? I recall Michelle Obama with the Marines and stuff. Hold on let's see Okay, now you got it. She she gave she said oh congratulations

36:12 Yeah, 20... 10 Dawn. Argo takes it home here you go. I thought it was 10... Zero Dark 30 is what you're thinking? No here it is! It's Ben Affleck vehicle best adapted screenplay and best editing. I'm sorry. Yeah when its the best picture. Best picture! Doesn't even get nominated for director. Okay, so that tells us something. Yeah Hollywood's saying okay We understand we have to this has to win because because Uma Abedin You know it all up his State Department So now he's gonna do this unless you want your funding pulled for your next Transformers movie? So I'm figuring okay the agency is there some intelligence a view if one of these groups is behind the entire

37:00 Let's get after FIFA and let's rejigger this thing because we're trying to make soccer popular in America. And I was noticing, when watching some of the sports shows they are constantly trying to make soccer popular in America I guess it's for the good of the future or we're trying to remove the head, you know there are less head injuries. Our football is too complicated. It's just money! There is money worldwide and then we have to figure out how to make money here with it We need to own everything. We need to own this Yeah well... That's what we do So they do this hit piece And I figured that this guy who did the piece because he says stuff Well let me start playing again. You only have five clips. It starts with clip 5

CHAPTER 11 / 37 Discussion

Qatar World Cup Labor Abuses and Terrorism Funding

HBO's "Real Sports with Brian Gumbel" aired a "hit piece" investigating the use of slave labor in Qatar to build infrastructure for the World Cup. The report details how migrant workers from Nepal and India live in squalid conditions while the Qatari government suppresses journalists. The segment also links Qatari sports officials to the funding of Al-Qaeda.

37:42 Let's start, first he does the...he starts off the piece beautifully structured by the way. I only have a little bit of it is about 20 minutes. It's so beautifully structured. He starts off soft and he's talking about how Qatar which was either way won like the weightlifting championships by appropriating or buying the entire Bulgarian Weightlifting team renaming all the people with Arab names and if I recall correctly Russia Was no it wasn't Russia. It was Shoot, what country was supposed to get that? Go finish your thought and I'll look this up.

38:32 A bunch of Ethiopian long-distance runners changed their names to some crazy Arab names and then had them go out and compete. And they've been doing this, they don't have anybody in Qatar there... If you look at the people that keep showing up it's a lot of very attractive women and very fat guys with bad teeth just to generalize. Yeah yeah nice nice So they don't really have any athletes, they don't really do much and they don't like to work. They have a slave labor system which is what's being discussed mostly in this piece and they discuss how these people are slaves and they're being worked to death.

39:09 And they can't leave the country and they're all from Nepal and India. They don't know what else to do That's where we get all our sluts, that's a good slave market Half the time they don't pay them I just feed em Great great peace So let's start with part 5 We're into it already The guy This guy Guy who I believe is a he's good somehow He sneaks into the giant camp of 100,000 guys and he goes in there any films at 3 in the morning And this is clip 5. Did you leave? No You're not allowed to leave This man arrived two years ago from the South Asian nation of Nepal like all workers here He's bundled up despite 110 degree heat better to sweat than to burn alive Yeah It's better better with the clothes and with your face your head covered yeah

39:58 All the manual work here is done by men like him. Every single one of those buildings, every single tunnel, every single highway built by whom? By Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indian, Nepali migrant worker not a single Qatari will work in this heat But if life on the job is hard there's little relief to be found at home One night last summer at 3 a.m., we drove outside the city to a place the government doesn't want people to see, the sprawling labor camps where the workers are housed. When we arrived one shift of weary men was coming home another shift heading on two buses for another day in the sun

40:42 Inside, the men were packed wall to wall. Eight to a room. The heat was stifling. The kitchen filthy. The beds they told us infested with bed bugs. Seems reasonable 22 year old Coombe lives here among 150 other men They share two bathrooms. This is one of two. Koum told us there are fights in the morning just to get to one before the work bus leaves. Where's a shower? There is no shower here, there's nowhere to wash your body. Where do you wash your body? You wash your body in the toilet. Yes I mean, oh wow it's very reasonable So this just goes on and on now i'm gonna skip one clip because This is how what? I want to bring out a kind of a discrepancy some point of reference here so we know what's going on which is kind of given away by uh Let's see what clip this is clip This is guitar hit piece eight

41:43 where he talks to other journalists. The Qatari government doesn't seem keen to have this story in the news either In March, German TV reporter Florian Bauer tried to report from some of the same labor camps we visited last year We were driving around shooting along the industrial area and then all of a sudden two people step up and say police please put down the camera Police? Put the cameras down Yeah They confiscated all the material, all the technical equipment, all laptops, all phones, all hard drives. Everything. Bauer says he was interrogated by Qatari intelligence for 14 hours. Weeks later a British news crew trying to cover this story was arrested and thrown in jail for days.

42:31 holding custody journalists while they're doing their job without any explanation. Should a country host the World Cup, which is doing things like that? And the past year has brought other unsettling reports that some of the same men who helped make Qatar a sports power have spent some of their extra cash in troubling ways. They're spending it on sports, they're spending it on culture, they're spending it on investments and they're spending it on terrorism. Oh! Oh, we played that BBC report. On the terrorism? Yeah about was it 524 so almost a month ago It was not as effective as this piece No not at all Now go...we're gonna back up a clip and then I want to play that point out something that is kind of like a head scratcher but play a clip 6 The Confrontation he brings some guy down some stooge who's ahead of the big all sports in

43:31 Cutter and the guy's a glib. Does he have a turban? Yeah, yeah well He's got the thing He's got the headdress no turban you've got their head dress on is wearing white And he's again. He's really cocky. He's got them little mustache that cute little mustache They wear and and he sees in his full of himself and then Here's how this goes We went to the Mecca of Qatari sports, the state-of-the art Aspire Sports Academy to ask about the treatment of workers building the World Cup. Aspire's chief Khalid Al Sulateen told us that the reports of poor working and living conditions were exaggerated If the conditions of foreign workers are not as bad as some of the reports imply what is the truth of the conditions? You go yourself and investigate it you will see them living in a very

Confrontation with Qatari Sports Officials

A journalist confronts Khalid Al-Sulateen, chief of the Aspire Sports Academy, regarding the treatment of foreign workers in labor camps. Despite Al-Sulateen's claims of a "comfortable and healthy environment," the reporter cites firsthand observations of overcrowding and lack of sanitation. The hosts speculate that the reporter may have had special immunity to avoid the arrests faced by other news crews.

Aspire's chief Khalid Al Sulateen told us that the reports of poor working and living conditions were exaggerated If the conditions of foreign workers are not as bad as some of the reports imply what is the truth of the conditions? You go yourself and investigate it you will see them living in a very

44:19 Comfortable, healthy environment. Comfortable and healthy? Of course! We are living in a very healthy environment alhamdulillah Mr Al-Sulaydin with all due respect we have gone to the camps You went yourself Yes this week in Doha where you have hundreds of thousands of men living in labor camps. Some of them packed into small rooms, eight men to a room like the one we saw 10 men sharing the toilet no showers why is it necessary to keep these men in camps at all? This is not happening in the United States you think? We don't have labor camps No I'm not talking about labor camps but issues of labor all over the world Have you been to the labor camps yourself sir

45:02 I'm not gonna answer it questions. You don't want to answer that of course, I don't want to answer with that We were told the interview was over Doom okay Now this guy... He makes a point, of course. Oh well you should have seen this it was pretty bad There is bad situations We just have our iPhones loaded I mean we're talking about a country of 250 thousand that people are buying everyone can buy a Bugatti and they refuse to do anything and then they're building all these crazy stadiums one that's got an artificial cloud over it to keep the place cool during the day Really? It's dynamite How does it work

45:42 I guess it's like a giant helicopter. And it's supposedly going to be over this, hovering over the whole thing. It's very strange. They showed him... Oh my goodness! This looks great! Yeah they're doing all kinds of stuff that is very cool. It has a quadcopter? Yeah, giant quadcopter. Fantastic This will chop everyone to bits when it crashes. Yeah, when it crashes it'll be something to see. So this is not as though they... you know this is scandalous let's put it that way and highly scandalous but what got me at this point or actually after the journalist talk was why wasn't this guy arrested and busted?

46:26 Everybody else that came in, according to him, he had the drugs. Oh instead of the FIFA guy you mean? No no I'm talking about the guy doing the report because he has a... Oh right! Yeah they pulled us over and said police The guy was very..I don't have his name. They threw the BBC guys in jail for couple days. Yeah they threw the BBC guys in jail and I like the way he handles it He's talking to some guy and the guy says yeah police, please put in a... Give us your stuff. And the guy reiterated it was police because it almost sounded like the guy said please please but it was, it was police and this is a pro and I think he was fast-tracked through the whole scene with some special immunity or something because they didn't touch him They didn't throw him in jail especially after this interview with this guy who walked out on them They didn't arrest them at the border, they didn't grab his gear

47:20 So he was fast-tracked by some agency to be there and do what he had to do before they figured it out and probably deported him. They didn't talk about that. Do you recall this guy's name? No, I'm gonna have to look it up because I thought I had written it down but I forgot. But he is just... You watch him and he has He's like an Uber journalist. It just slick! Well, anyway let's go on and finish this little presentation which one were we on? We've done eight now it's time for nine Angry, but not surprised given that Qatar has faced no repercussions neither from FIFA nor any of FIFA's powerful sponsors I haven't seen a single sponsor of World Cup pulled their name out to FIFA. So why Qatar would change? Why? McDonalds Coca-Cola other companies that are household names for you they are part of the problem They're enabling cut ours abuses No question about that

CHAPTER 13 / 37 Discussion

Corporate Sponsors and the Qatar Shakedown

The discussion focuses on the role of major FIFA sponsors like Coca-Cola and McDonald's in enabling Qatari labor abuses. The hosts characterize the HBO report as a high-level "hit job" likely supported by U.S. intelligence to force a regime change or relocation of the games.

coca-cola· mcdonalds· adidas· fifa· hbo· sponsorship

48:20 We invited FIFA's major sponsors to explain, but none agreed to an interview. Gee... I wonder why? I just love this part! This is professional hit piece. I'm telling you anyone out there studying journalism has to watch this. This is so outrageous How will they get these legs other than-I guess they're going after the advertisers Yeah and they can do it from the HBO perspective because they don't care what Big Donald says It's HBO of course You would not see this piece any place. This should be 60 minutes, right? It's got six it's done like a 60 minutes piece. It shot like a 60 minutes piece. It should be on 60 minutes. 60 Minutes can't show it because 60 minutes is beholding to advertisers just the way PBS and everybody else's which is the point we're trying to make on this show an HBO is not

49:12 and HBO's not, which is cool. So let's just play the last clip and go out. He may not be alone in 2013 the Qatari Olympic Committee honored another longtime sports official there Abdul Aziz Al-Attiyah Last year Attiyah was given a more dubious distinction convicted in absentia by Lebanese court of funding al-Qaeda Both Atiyah and Nwemi deny being funders of terrorism. Others in Qatari sport have provided radicals a platform Remember the chief of the Aspire Sports Academy who we met last year? He may have walked out on us, but just one week after that he and his academy played a much more accommodating host to this man Sheikh Mohammed Al-Arifi Al-Arifi is one of the more radical preachers in the Middle East

50:02 So the idea is advertisers need to pull out because you are otherwise directly responsible for aiding and abetting terrorism. Yes! And slavery! Whoa! So McDonald's, and Coca-Cola, and Adidas, and High Sky... They put the names up on the screen all of the major sponsors This is a shakedown They put up... It was not a shakedown for who? No, it's not. It's a hit piece. That's an epic job. Shakedown is different that's where you get money. Now this is the hit job and it was done on behest of the United States government intelligence agencies in some way shape or form because we really got screwed when could get we wanted some of these games We wanted those games. We were unfair And so we decided okay

50:48 You want to play unfair? We'll show you unfair. And this is just the beginning." I like it, John. Very good. This is the initial salvo and its aimed right at McDonald's, its aimed right at Coca-Cola when you see them pull out, you know it starting to become effective. This gonna...this is just the beginning. This would have been clip of the day if it was a clip. It's not a clip! No, it's an analysis of the week. Very very good. And you know that Clinton has got his paws on this somewhere Probably. Right? Yeah, it's possible Let's keep our eye and see if Hillary does anything for HBO or anything special You know maybe a little town hall meeting or something But Cutter is the target and they're gonna be... It's gonna go on and on and on They're not gonna... Well its not until 2020 correct And they think well I know but they are building these six stadiums which are outrageous I mean there's billion... There's some like 150 billion dollars worth of stadiums I like the drone cloud that's cool

51:46 This crazy stuff. We should at least let him build that so we can take it. Something is up with this and this is not it. Well, I think you've nailed it! It's so clear... But again anybody out there studying journalism who wants to really look at a classic classic hit piece? I've never seen one as good. Send me the link and I'll put in the show notes. hbo dot com Oh okay alright And it's the Brian... Brian Gumbel's Real Sports. Good work, John! Can't wait to see that come down but they have a couple years so it is just the beginning Oh yeah! It's 2020 There's gonna be regime change by the time this Olympics comes around That's how we roll Hollywood, regime change Screw ya Boo Ya I had a jarring experience yesterday no two days ago

Save the Children and Planned Parenthood Street Solicitation

A host recounts a jarring encounter with street solicitors wearing shirts representing both Save the Children and Planned Parenthood. The segment explores the perceived contradiction between the two organizations and investigates the massive financial war chest of Save the Children, noting its ties to the Gates Foundation and Open Society Institute.

52:46 Friday. I was walking down the street, concentrating on trucking right and there were two... Now at first I thought they were Planned Parenthood rousters what do we call them again? Solicitors? Solicitors yeah and but i see that it's a combo t-shirt it's planned parenthood with save the children on the front planned parenthood on the back And this, this all...this just it the- This t-shirt by itself already just made my mind like go into pretzel. You know? It's like how can How do you ummm..how do you make it work save the children with an organization that aborts children and stops them from being born altogether? Stops conception? Yes! But how does that somehow saving the children I don't know. And so when I didn't have one of my

53:41 you know, nifty little comebacks. I just said today i'm just gonna walk... You choked! I did. I choked and it was one on one side of the sidewalk and one on the other so you walk through the tunnel yeah that's a good one And that by itself already felt oh this didn't feel good The guy in the left he's like yeah but not today man then as I walk past this tunnel the guy on the right says, oh yeah you don't care about children. Wow! Yeah and I stopped and... It's a one-two punch And i turned around said excuse me? He said you don't care about children You don't want to save children Wait a minute I don't like your approach is what I'm saying Oh it's one-to-one marketing look it up wow yeah and now I'm feeling something that I'm feeling

54:34 irritation. Yeah? But here's the thing, and I take one step towards this guy—I mean i'm already like 10 feet away or maybe a little bit more—and I say are you kidding me? Yes! Look it up 1-to-1 marketing. He said no you're being annoying that's not cool and uh... And I saw this guy he looked at me with hatred like real hatred And I was just like, you know why don't you look up Margaret Sanger and the Eugenics Society of America. You look that up, I'll go look at one-to-one marketing He had no idea what i was talking about But I still can't figure out... Oh by the way The hatred? I have to say Both these guys were black and I felt they looked at me like a white asshole That's the first time I've ever felt that Maybe it's just conditioning that has come through whatever is going on On my side so I'll own that shit but

55:33 They looked at me with hate man. I didn't feel this that was really messed up and now I'm gonna look into this save the children and there is So it's could save the children. I had no idea how big This is were they looking for money or you sign something There were they had tablets, and people I think we're signing stuff But they don't need money guess how much money they have Tell me. I just want you to wager one guess and know that Planned Parenthood contributes heavily to them Oh, the Save the Children operation? Yeah! That's why they had a combo T-shirt So okay... They probably have, I don't know what 20 million? 657 million dollars Really?! Yes For what!? To save the children And that's just the American chapter You're part of this huge

56:31 this bigger organization. But if you look at what they've got, the CEO making $600,000 dollars... This is one of those big ones! What do they do besides harass people on the street? One-to-one marketing. Look it up. I can give you their mission statement if that helps. Might be worth it. Let me see. Mission statement Save the Children is the world's leading independent organization for children in need with programs in nearly 120 countries including the United States. We aim to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to create immediate and lasting change in their lives by improving their health, education, economic opportunities.

57:34 And, you know the donors are the ones you'd expect. The Mel and Belinda Gates Foundation... ...the Open Society Institute This is a New World Order outfit and they've got quite the war chest Let's just take a look and see who's on the board. This is big though I don't know. What are you going to do next time you run into these two clowns or two similar clowns? Well, i'm going to have to ask how do I... These two clowns.

58:13 Why don't you get ahold of the laptop and start scrolling around, checking it out. Seeing what's going on there? I'm going to! I was thrown off John... It was very... Yeah, you were. I've never seen you do this. You usually don't choke. No! It was a whole new situation. I was funneled, like what did they call that in the UK? Tea kettled or whatever. Yes, tea kettled. Kettled. I was kettled exactly Anyway, I want to find out how Planned Parenthood How their mission fits in with save the children doesn't make any sense? And I'm gonna have to record it and you know but it was just wow. It's just like whoo Besides yourself. Yeah, I was I was normally this never happens to you. I was upset I was upset

Waco Biker Shooting and Suppressed Surveillance Video

The City of Waco is reportedly attempting to block the release of surveillance video from the Twin Peaks restaurant shooting involving biker gangs. Attorneys for the arrested bikers claim the video will prove that most fatalities were caused by police fire rather than the bikers themselves.

waco· texas· twin peaks· biker gang· police shooting· surveillance

59:02 Huh. Well, nothing similar has happened to me. Meanwhile you know I'm glad we were on this now this is a local story here just up the road in Waco Texas. Waco's known for some bad historical crap going down when it comes to... Yeah historically Historically yes like the Branch Davidians and they burned a whole bunch of children. Shit happens. It always been kind of wacky. Kinda Florida of Texas How does that work? Everything crazy goes on in Florida So we had this big biker gang blowout and I've been tracking this, a number of people were telling me that hey this is really strange you know the reports although they've been completely obfuscated from even from the mainstream. That i think only of the nine or ten people who were killed only one was killed by bullet from some other biker the rest were all killed by the cops

59:57 Sounds right? Huh, yes that sounds right. How's that new? But you know they made it look like it was a big biker brawl and you know that was going on of course this started inside um this Twin Peaks restaurant And now this is just a little report that I thought was interesting of note, I shall say. The attorney for one of the bikers who claimed to be wrongly arrested has subpoenaed the restaurant surveillance video from the day of the shooting but the city of Waco is trying to stop its release. KCENHT News reporter Rissa Shaw has been covering this story and Rissa when could we see the video? Well Doug as early as tomorrow The attorney for Matthew Clendenin, Clint Brodin told me this afternoon that if and when the video gets released he will make it public. The Waco restaurant's law firm in Dallas was served with a subpoena this week and they aren't yet fighting it They agreed to produce the video by 9 o'clock tomorrow morning but the city of Waco is attempting to quash the video from being released Everybody wants this video out of the city of Waco And this is an extraordinary step being taken by the city of Waco I should speak volumes as why they want to keep this video suppressed

1:01:02 In a release from Waco PD today, they gave an update on the case saying their detectives are currently completing search warrants for cell phones seized at the scene. So there may be even more videos on those phones that could be added to the investigation." I'm thinking something's going on! Something is up? Yep, for sure. Yeah and they're looking for cell phones just in case they got incriminating videos...that's the reason. We'll find out But in the meantime, I do want to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C.

Canada's Bill C-51 and Domestic Spying

A listener from Saskatchewan provides an update on Canada's Bill C-51, which is described as a "Patriot Act" for the North. The law expands the powers of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to monitor citizens and potentially brand economic protesters as terrorists. The hosts discuss Canada's role in the "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance.

canada· bill c-51· csis· stephen harper· nsa· five eyes

1:07:50 I think it's kind of interesting that people put these little stories together using the clips. It's very nice Jason Wall in Regina, Saskatchewan rhymes as they say their locally rhymes with three at two three four five six he did send a note in uh-huh and I will open the note which is on the Another page. Hi John and Adam, thank you for your courage and for all the work you do producing the great No Agenda show, The Best Podcast in Universe. I just thought i would email you with a quick update from The True North Strong & Free. Specifically there are now three new laws that have been rammed through Parliament

1:08:31 Yeah, the C51. This is their Patriot Act. Their Canada Freedom Act. A little slow on the draw but they're going to do it anyway. After years of trying Harper's conservative majority has finally created a domestic spying agency to rival the NSA CSIS. It is called the CSIS. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service has been given authority to spy on Canadians and our allies. And its broad! They can be spied on anywhere for anything pretty much. Do they not have a constitution in Canada? They have national bylaws that are, which include freedom of... Aren't they pretty much just under British rules? They're more free than we are technically!

1:09:17 But this stuff goes on. It's over, it's over! One of the Canadians did a report on this where they essentially abnegated freedom of speech for a period of time so they could crack down on something or other... They're very into alien and sedition laws. Sounds very much like what you'd have in 1920s Anyway, the guy goes on. Wall goes on Considering the RCMP position is that whenever you're attacking the Canadian economy, you could be branded a terrorist. It was being spoken to in reference to C-51 protesters This is not good news with laws like these protesting the Keystone XL might well be considered treason!

1:09:59 I like that. Yeah! We should be doing this. That's good, it's good. New Citizen Act which I guess we recently went through as well... This law allows the Canadian government to strip anyone of their Canadian citizenship if they are convicted of any terrorist activities. See above? Such as advertising on the World Cup I've been told it only applies to immigrants who hold more than one citizenship. Considering anyone arriving in Canada by any means that would not seem ordinary, Stephen Harper's words." Anyway he goes on and they said you could be sent directly to maximum security prisons held up for eight years without charge. I can't imagine why anyone would want to move here anyway? Lastly a new bill has been proposed

1:10:45 We have a little Canadian competition going on too, thanks to the newsletter which we'll talk about during the next break. Lastly, a new bill has been proposed with the same political fervor as the previous two is one that will allow further lawmaking with regard to security matters to take place in secret. I wonder where they got that idea? With no public debate or media coverage can't imagine there would be no record of where they decide to legislate at least until they're declassified in 50 years. Having seen what these conservatives and liberals by association have been willing to vote for in broad daylight I shudder to think of what they'll do behind closed doors. Thank you again for all you do well Thank you, and keep us apprised it was hoping that we'd do more Canadian news But then he realizes that most of it is just it's the same watch that I watched I watched CTV Edmonton as one of my stations and

1:11:40 I like watching Canadian television because the ads are all alien to me. But yeah, we'll cover more Canadian stuff. We try but i have red c-51 and it's extremely broad and we put in the show notes so its all searchable What would they do this for? Control? They could just use our agencies. Is Canada a member of Five Eyes? Yes! Okay well there you go It is just an expansion of our agency I believe, I believe... Great Britain. United States and Canada. That is the five Is. Hold on, I believe CSIS...I believe I had an article about these jabronis and I think it was somehow that NSA had given them a lot of technology? I'm gonna have to look that up. Oh they had to put it to use the way our local police have to put stuff to use? More than likely

1:12:40 What are we gonna do with all these computers, Bill? I don't know. Let's start a spy agency and play spy! We can all be cool spies! Wooo! Keep it a secret. Oh yeah! School man! A bunch of 12 year olds Uh huh...I'm just noting that Very nice. And that's it, I believe for our... Yes that will be it and we do have another show coming up on Thursday hopefully you can pick up the pace at the end of this throat of summer Yeah It always happens around this time a year gets tough Well July 4th is a problem People stop listening to the show That's one reason why we have the newsletter remind you that were here

Charleston Shooting Victim Compensation and Federal Fines

The Department of Justice has fast-tracked $29 million in compensation for the families of the Charleston church shooting victims. The funds come from the Office for Victims of Crime, which is funded by federal fines and confiscated assets rather than direct taxpayer money. The hosts question the speed of the payment and the circumstantial nature of the evidence against Dylan Storm Roof.

charleston· south carolina· department of justice· dylan roof· victim compensation

1:13:25 Yes, yes. Hello we're still doing the show we're still doing the show yeah We want to thank all of our executive producers and associate executive producers for helping us out for episode 734 another show on Thursday coming to you from The Netherlands where I will be staying with Christina, so we'll be in Rotterdam. So we know the pipe will be good! Yeah... yeah it was... yeah. Yeah. Is that going to happen Thursday? Yeah. Thursday. That's right, Thursday. Oh you will be in Rotterdam on Thursday? On Thursday, yeah. Bring an international flair to the show And of course, we always need everybody out there doing the important work of propagating our formula Our formula is this We go out, we hit people in the mouth Shut up

1:14:29 Shut up, Sleep. Shut up? Let me ask you a question... Okay! Alrighty then If um.. if one of your loved ones was killed Gunned down by a crazy hateful Crazy hateful crazy hater gun down gundown shot Would you be expecting money from the government for this no hmm that's interesting Why is the government gutting him? Unless they shot him, which is more likely. Well hold on I'll ding you for that! The Department of Justice has fast-tracked a supportive payment of 29 million dollars to the shooting victims' families in Charleston South Carolina which happens under there's a protocol for this compensation

1:15:30 But this comes from the Office for Victims of Crime. Yeah, you're bringing back the comment that unless they shot him... Thank you! You took the words out of my mouth Because of course what did the conspiracy is of all time to pay off the crisis actors like okay, whatever fine I think there was some actual go that far. There were some actual dead people right this one back. That's into some actual Did they were dead? There was a really great photo. I'm gonna put in the next newsletter and then they I want you goes to Hello?

1:16:13 So there's this photo of the Sun one of the news stations has got that same poster with the two guys side by side You know standing in front of their little distance thing and one across one of them. It says killed The goal I heard from very reliable sources that guy well first, I heard one of the two had a huge long an I don't know. It's gotta be, yeah...I would believe that the guy who was supposedly the lady killer Well this came from gay circles They said oh man they killed the guy with a big schlong Damn it! I think there was another guy who had the big schlong No apparently not, I have high authority You have an account story that the ugly guy has the big schlong? Yeah, hello God gives you something Hey hey your ugly but look at this

1:17:04 You have a great future ahead of you. So I thought, this is very interesting, this Office for Victims of Crime... Do you know how big? This is not taxpayer money let me point out as they point out on their website. This is acquired from fines and confiscated materials, and I'm sure huge bank accounts... Which usually is reduced to going into the general fund which means it is taxpayer money. It's pre-taxpayer money? Yes. It's what's on the website they say this is from fines and money that has been... What's the word? Confiscated. Confiscated thank you

1:17:52 for federal crimes, which I looked at the numbers nine billion dollars they have in this account. So i'm thinking that probably came from all those bankers they threw in jail took all their money. Probably not Nine billion dollars but it's...I just found it interesting that why is this being fast-tracked and as works out to three more than three million dollars For the families of each person who was killed in this attack now As far as I know This, you know... So we have a manifesto which is not 100% attributable to Dylan Storm Roof. We have this crazy name, Dylan Storm Roof. Just put that out there and we don't know if he acted out of pure hate. We have some photoshopped pictures with flags that have clearly forensically proven been photoshopped

State Senator Clementa Pinckney on the Confederate Flag

An archival speech by the late State Senator Clementa Pinckney reveals a nuanced view of the Confederate flag and the Civil War. Pinckney acknowledged the sacrifice of both Union and Confederate soldiers, including black Confederates buried in the Emanuel Cemetery, contradicting the modern narrative that the flag is solely a symbol of hate.

clementa pinckney· confederate flag· civil war· charleston· history

1:18:48 You know, so he has the Rhodesian flag and you know it's just all this a lot of supposition. But there is a lot of...it's all circumstantial This guy hasn't been...has he testified yet? I don't think so Has he made a statement? I don't think so. Has he said that I hate black people? Yeah they got to kill him in prison Well they might have too because the president did the eulogy for this state senator And this guy, very interesting. With the president? No, the state senator. Yeah well this is my assertion from the beginning that this was a hit on him. He voted against gay marriage That was his stance but he also...He really was okay with the confederate flag

1:19:40 Here's a little piece of uh, a speech he did uh, awhile back just to in itself a little bit of a history lesson regarding confederacy and the confederate flag and really his stance on this. Ladies and gentlemen we've heard the stories The Civil War divided houses. Yes, fought for a good cause but still divided houses and when I say divided houses they were black Confederates and white Confederates. I know because in the Emanuel Cemetery we have black Confederates who are buried there were those from the south and the north

1:20:19 who supported the Union and those who did not, and so again divided houses. On this land even as an African American Christian I respect and understand that yes union troops fought but also Confederate troops fought And God is not a respective person though causes And so we honor all the blood, all the troops that gave their lives during this time. It is in this very obscure text that David sort of encapsulates what many people feel when it comes to the Civil War—joy and yet pain.

1:21:01 the many good men who died for good or for a good cause, those who died doing what they thought was in the best interest of the country. Yes as it supported the Union thank God for the union but yes there were many Confederate soldiers who only fought because they felt that it was good for their homeland and so I can imagine like Lincoln went to Gettysburg and looked through and saw not just Union soldiers, and not just blue uniform but also gray uniform. And wrote those very famous words that we honor, those very, very famous words in his Gettysburg address that we said is probably one of the best speeches in American history where he honored all and cherished all sacrifice

1:21:56 and wished that none would have to die for the Union. There you go! That sounds like a guy who's pretty level-headed about the Civil War in the Confederacy Yeah, I'd say And somehow no one questions this? That it is only a symbol of hate...of racial hate? Here is the guy himself speaking from the grave I'm waiting for the day when they lower their Confederate flag and put up the gay flag. Well, this is all over Twitter if you haven't seen it. This cartoon has already been drawn

Obama's Charleston Eulogy and "Grace" Narrative

President Obama's eulogy for Reverend Pinckney is analyzed for its focus on racial bias and the concept of "grace." The hosts criticize the speech as divisive and suggest it functioned more as a political lecture than a traditional eulogy. They specifically highlight the president's claims regarding the killer's intentions and the "original sin" of the nation.

barack obama· charleston· amazing grace· dylan roof· hate speech

1:22:32 Do what I just said? Yep. Geez, I'm behind...I'm slowing the draw apparently So here we have By the way can i do an aside No, I'll do it later Nevermind Keep going Here we have The President And this is the other Obama Where has this guy been They should've put him in a long time ago This guys good He knows how to do this This guy's spot on This version of the president Is good And he's got the whole church thing down, but holy mackerel. He is all in on this guy who hated black people and was connected through a long line of hate

1:23:17 And what he's doing, of course is actually fanning the flames and creating divisiveness. Very very spectacular! And there were people all over in offices listening in and it was so moving yet He's got it down this Obama is great with this stuff Great Church built by blacks seeking liberty burned to the ground because its founders sought to end slavery only to rise up again a phoenix from these ashes When there were laws banning all black church gatherings, services happened here anyway. In defiance of... That's the first time he was that's where you start anyway he starts going to his Martin Luther King Jr.. Anyway it is good it's good. And just lost when there was a righteous movement to dismantle Jim Crow Dr. Martin Luther King Jr preached from its pulpit and marches began from its steps yeah watch this a sacred place this church not just for blacks

1:24:30 not just for Christians, but for every American who cares about the steady expansion of human rights and human dignity in this country. A foundation stone for liberty and justice for all! That's what the church meant!" Alright so he can get the crowd going now of course it is a easy crowd but good very very good now He does this whole piece on this kid which we really know nothing about. Nothing! Because you could just as easily say, it's about the pharmaceutical industry they pump these kids full of crap and then they're out on the streets looking for illegal cheap high and then there put on some more crap that keeps them kind of in balance and who knows what could have happened? We need to work on

1:25:22 Big Pharma killing our children 159 million prescriptions in 2012 for opiates That's more than we have adults in this country. No, no that's not what he did We do not know whether the killer of Reverend Pickney and eight others knew all of this history But he surely sensed the meaning of his violent act This is interesting. He said so the president knows what he sensed it was an act that drew on a long history mm-hmm of bombs He smacks his lips a lot. Well, that's this Obama! I think it's a tell. And shots fired at churches... not random but as means of control A way to terrorize and oppress Okay So now he is saying that this kid was terrorizing oppressing in the long line of bombing churches burning churches shots fired at churches whoo An act

1:26:31 that he imagined would incite fear and recrimination, violence and suspicion. An act that he presumed would deepen divisions the trace back to our nation's original sin. Damn! Are you hearing what I'm hearing John? What are you hearing? I'm just hearing t-the president... Oh it's just hate! Putting divisive hate speech out there about someone... Yeah this is hate speech. Yeah this is hate speech! Oh but God works in mysterious ways. All right, we should call him sometime! God has different ideas he didn't know He was being used by God This is great so now god used Dylan Roof's storm roof Used him to do this in a particular way Blinded by hatred the alleged killer could not see the grace

1:27:46 Surrounding Reverend Pickney. Are you bored? Is that why you're playing your instruments? I'm looking for a note. And that Bible study group, blinded by hatred he was Oh president knows everything the light of love that shone as they opened the church doors and invited a stranger to join in their prayer circus. The alleged killer could have never anticipated the way the families of the fallen would respond when they saw him in court, in the midst of unspeakable grief with words of forgiveness. He couldn't imagine that! Damn! You gotta admit this guy is good! Ehhh... you don't like him? I think he should call God again see what HE thinks Okay hold on a second Where's his number? He-He should have a short number Hello

Production Flub During Obama's "Amazing Grace" Performance

The hosts deconstruct a production error during President Obama's singing of "Amazing Grace," where the band and organist missed their cues. The segment includes a humorous discussion on the potential use of auto-tune in live political events and the "other Obama" theory regarding the president's public performances.

barack obama· amazing grace· production error· auto-tune· gospel music

1:28:50 Have I let any ring a couple times? Start over. I'm not here right now, please leave the message. In the morning! Alright very good Here is the president talking about the kind of bigotry and hatred that clearly exists today in these United States then i'm sure it does exist to some degree

1:29:26 Which is unfortunate, but it exists everywhere. This is just how the world works The world is unfair we can all work on this We can all get better But for him to say this in a eulogy In this manner was I don't know divisive Maybe we now realize the way racial bias Can infect us even when we do not realize So that were guarding against Not just racial slurs Were also guarding against this subtle impulse To call Johnny back For a job interview but not Jamal You know? That's harsh I don't know how much more of this I can take. At some point you have to just think he's a douchebag!

1:30:11 This is not much of a eulogy. No, it's not and was funny because everybody... He's not talking about the dead guy he's talking about his you know there's some basic theory of the world or way it operates yeah exactly but I did talk about the dead guy too what was interesting to me this this was produced when I go to a eulogy when I hear somebody going on I don't expect to get a lecture from him I'm not going there they hear some lecture from a rabble rouser Well, it seemed like everyone enjoyed it very much. You got the president there I mean you know hope to get an autograph afterwards you realize those things are worth about 100 bucks a pop and that's good times There was a production flub which I wanted to point out by now you probably heard the President saying Amazing Grace

1:30:56 But this was set up, the production knew about it. In fact the way it was set up is okay The President's going to talk about grace amazing grace and I think he moved pieces of his speech around or something and The organ and the band starts kicking in because they think He's gonna sing but It's at the wrong moment Oh no! They blew the cue Yeah they totally blew the cue you'll hear it listen I've been reflecting on this idea of Grace Attention camera 3 get ready for the band Okay, get ready for the track.

And zoom in tight! Five! Camera two position for the profile shot and here it comes It just peters out. It was a complete miscue! It was fantastic Well, he's supposed to pick it up too No of course He should have if it was the real deal but like he set it up perfectly the whole thing Was good to go I think you forgot no You know what? I'm going to take his side on this

1:32:50 Because it's the other Obama right so there's stage manager fucked it up He had to point to him go And he got was a guy was over listening dog talking on his headset or something you go Look at some chicks. She's hot and get her after the show huh, okay? Just for those of you who have not seen it, I'll play his actual singing. If we can find that grace... Yes! Anything is possible He better do it this time If we can tap that grace... He's tapping the grace, he's tapping it Get ready And cue Obama Amazing Grace Cue him already Amazing Grace Amazing Grace Position for band Alright band let's get a good one Let's get it right this time

1:33:47 And cue the band! Band, band, band. Cue the band! Where's the auto-tune? It was pretty awful. What a great singer he is... I mean he... No not this Obama. That's the other Obama They should have put the auto-tune on his mic. It would've been easy! That would actually have worked. Mmhmm. If it wasn't that far off, the auto tune wouldn't have fixed it People don't realize that's what that was invented for Yeah... oh yeah Exactly

1:34:36 And of course, the crazy sound that it makes is when you turn up the full blast and it makes anything musical. I wonder if I have an auto-tune plug in somewhere? Oh, you betcha they do! It's the auto tune plug in that will solve your problems your lifetime problems. You always wanted to be a singer. Singerrrr. Yeah with Auto Tune you can fix it I don't, um... You probably have to buy it. Well you know you can uh Tone Lux tilt is that maybe it? Tone Lux sounds like a clone. Yeah yeah you could get tone lux for five bucks. Try it in- let me see. It kinda works. Let's see this is uh okay lemme see what is this lemme try this if this will work. Is it- I have to turn it on hold on why cant I even move this here we go

Trump Tower Fire and Ross Perot Comparisons

A fire on the 21st floor of Trump Tower in Manhattan is discussed as a potential "shot across the bow" against Donald Trump's presidential campaign. The hosts compare the situation to Ross Perot's sudden exit from the 1992 race following alleged threats against his family.

1:35:31 It's on already. One, two...two hello? In, on now it's not working. Polar invert now I don't even know what this is- What is this thing?! There are too many crazy things nowadays! Yeah this stuff isn't helpful Alright let's play uh here so Donald Trump runs for office People aren't taking him seriously they look at his numbers he's already second Yeah. And now, so we have this Trump Tower clip. Coincidence? I think not! Also in New York a fire erupted on the 21st floor of the Trump Tower on the Upper West Side of Manhattan today Black smoke spewed out of the building One person was hurt Officials say that fire started on the terrace but they're not sure how it started Huh

1:36:16 Shut up Trump. I'm reminded of when shut up dude third-party Spoiler Ross Perot ran for president and some guys in black suits came up to him one day and said and told him just get out of the race, and they showed a bunch of photos Yeah, he was he was doing it again. He left oh Yeah, uh-huh. He liked... I had to quit! They're gonna kill me and my family! He liked life apparently So this is a shot across the bow to use that phrase once again in this show Shot across the bow Maybe it's a good one

Coordinated Terror Attacks in Tunisia, France, and Kuwait

The hosts discuss a series of coordinated terrorist attacks occurring during Ramadan, including a beach shooting in Tunisia and a decapitation at a factory in France. Majid Nawaz of the Quilliam Foundation is featured explaining the ISIS strategy of hitting "soft targets" to mark the anniversary of their caliphate. The segment also notes the shift in media terminology from "beheading" to "decapitation."

tunisia· france· kuwait· isis· ramadan· quilliam foundation

1:36:57 I can't find it. Okay, I was just looking for the plug. Okay while you're doing that i got some Tunisian news because of the shooting Yeah, I have a report on that as well The concern though is that they were carried out by Islamic radicals loyal to ISIS and this is a serious concern for US officials with the 4th of July right around the corner Oh yeah Oh, of course. Well there's something else I was watching Sky TV... I'm sorry 4th of July. Before you do that, I did develop an evergreen from one of these reports that i think you should think about using occasionally And the evergreen is called run, run, run. Let me check it out right now and they were running really fast and everyone cried Run, run, run, run! And also security They all called us to run Go into your rooms, run away No no no We could mix those Run, run, run, I like it

1:37:58 Okay, I will put that one in the bin. This is what the news has come to be for us looking for stupid things So Sky News brings this guy on and he is the head of Let me see... The Quilliam Foundation's name is Majid Nawaz co-founder and chairman Quilliam Foundation. Q-U-I-L-L-I-A-M foundation. We've talked about these people before Have we? I do not recall Yes What do they do? I don't know Because it seems like All they're doing is, they're just reaching out. They have outreach. I think they are one of the middle men when it comes to funds flying around. They are like in there somewhere. So they bring this guy on and he connects all three of these terrorist attacks as part of one whole thing. Well hold on a second! The Canadian National pretty much did the same thing

1:38:55 Interesting. Yeah, let's see. Actually what has been happening in France is connected to what happened in Tunisia and also elsewhere. Mohammed Adnani who was an ISIS ideologue has been promising for a few weeks now that in the holy month of Ramadan ISIS will step up their attacks to mark the one year anniversary of founding of this so called caliphate When is Ramadan this year? It's right now you're in it We are in Ramadan right now? As far as I know, I think so. Ramadan 2015. Oh, yes it's from June 17th to July 17th with the sweet spot being 14 July perfect and so it appears to be at the moment a coordinated attack by ISIS on soft targets across the world the Shia mosque in Kuwait The attack on the factory in France and they attacked on the hotel in Tunisia which is now apparently mounted 27 casualties there

1:39:50 And the reason ISIS could be planning these soft target attacks is because actually in their stronghold, in Iraq and Syria they are on the defensive. And they need to demonstrate on...to mark this one year anniversary that... Sounds like he's laying out the strategy right here! This guy clearly as a spokeshole that all of this outreach organization does it's I think they can label themselves a think tank So, yeah. That's who we are! We're a think tank they're just shills They still relevant that they're still operationally capable and they need to attract other fighters to their cause to keep morale high and that's what's going on here apparently Well of course in France people are highly alarmed I mean this is the first decapitation on French soil We haven't had one in Britain There's always a first for everything Almost decapitation with

1:40:35 Oh, damn. We almost... Damn we didn't have a real one. Hold on a second. Notice the irony in that particular comment? That he's saying decapitation instead of beheadings? This is the first decapitation on French soil. Did you ever hear of the French Revolution and the guillotine?! They're collecting bonbons they had. Yeah, in baskets! This is the first decapitation on French soil? Are you kidding me?! I mean this is the first decapitation on French soil... We haven't had one in Britain we had an almost decapitation with- Didn't they have decapitations in Britain too didn't they?

1:41:11 Probably. Yeah, well this is an outrage. Drummer Lee Rigby so people are shocked they're alarmed but I think there are some questions that we need answers to one is that the perpetrators here were they homegrown French citizens? Were they returning fighters or has ISIS delivered on its promise and smuggled Via the people smugglers smuggled hardened Isis operatives so what this guy is saying? Is that this was a coordinated attack in three places at the same time poor old Tunisia on The beach which I think was the best one you know did you see any of that amateur of the cell phone footage Yeah, body is every who knows but it looked like bodies everywhere. It's a good one yeah, it was

1:41:56 in a Blair Witch Project kind of way. And then we had the guy who drove the vehicle into the factory and chopped the guy's head off. It was his boss' head! Was it the boss? Yeah, nice. The boss is the factory or something along those lines because that's an American company some some of them outlets Canada and UK they emphasize that none of their outlets in United States said anything about it who cares it's an international operation not an American company And then they all of them emphasize, at least all the American outlets emphasized. Oh July 4th is coming out beyond the lookout there's going to be something going on and hit it all in the TSA or not the TSA but the Homeland Security is warned if you have extra vigilance when they always say although we've got no reports of anything. I think fourth of July If we follow the script We need to see a

1:42:51 a decapitation here. And notice it's now a decapitation instead of beheading, that's also subtle I don't think there's going to be anything on the 4th of July. This has happened every year and then it's gone because the six-week cycle says it should be in and around the 15th of July, and there's no reason to break up this cycle just because it is the fourth of July cause most these guys are gonna be on vacation... You're taking a four day weekend you're in the FBI if you got a four day weekend coming up maybe take a fifth day on sick leave we've got five days vacation coming up You're not going to set up any scam for the Fourth of July. Forget it! We're not doing it, boss!"

1:43:32 with people across from Libya into the continent of Europe and that begs another question which is that these apparent multiple attacks are there others that they're waiting to initiate again in this month of Ramadan? I mean, we...I'm frankly very surprised. I look at these issues every day and very surprised that we in the United Kingdom haven't yet faced something as severe We're very lucky and credit does go to our security services and to police forces for keeping us safe but we are overdue an attack here too Overdue! It's overdue. Overdue, I say. Overdue says this guy from the think tank. This is like a weather report. This bullcrap over due. It's overdue for rain here in California well you could say that it's true

CHAPTER 24 / 37 Discussion

NSA Spying on France and Russian Influence

New leaks on WikiLeaks suggest the NSA has been spying on French officials, an operation the hosts attribute to Russian intelligence rather than Edward Snowden. The leak has strained U.S.-French relations, leading to discussions in France about granting asylum to Snowden and Julian Assange.

nsa· france· wikileaks· russia· snowden· vladimir putin

1:44:12 But that's, you know...you can't equate the two. You can use weather analogies to determine any of this stuff. Oh we're overdue! We're overdue for World War III! Now this does come on the heels of something that you've course picked up on and had a clip on it I believe about NSA spying on the French which was developed, I believe by the Russians. Well the word that's going out... Because of a Snowden thing that followed suit! Well the question is is there perhaps this new leak? The question is is this perhaps from a different source? What's the new leak? Well it was this NSA

1:44:56 about NSA spying on France. It's from Russia, that's the source Right but it is not necessarily from Snowden you think it's all just Russian? No it's not from Snowden there are no chances for Snowden because when they showed up on WikiLeaks and Snowden already gave away everything and nobody confirmed if was from Snowden they would have said it was some of the Snowden pack of goodies They said no, it just showed up on WikiLeaks and it's the Russians. The Russians are the ones who planted this the same way that Russians planted the fuck-the EU comment which was bugged by the Russians and they pushed that out there to cause trouble And now they push this out there to cause trouble and now the French are so irked They say you know we'll take Snowden in Assange and will keep giving them asylum if they want to come to France Which by the way I would... If I was one of those two guys In a heartbeat A heartbeat? What do you think

1:45:41 Oops, wrong one. That was the... Sorry! But that's all just again the Russians just doing everything they can to- And I have to say in- Oh let me finish with one thought Once Snowden is out what are we gonna do about this grudge against Russia? Now they're going to have to think of some new rationale Gays There's always the gays It's the go-to it always works I think they're beating the drum too much with Russia. And the Russians are causing trouble, they got to be stopped! We gotta get it together, get a little diplomacy going here so we don't have this thing going on with Russia. This is not good for anything." Yeah Putin has now said that they have to stop the Ukraine gas discount, so you have to pay full price now? Of course that makes sense and then you know they'll get new money in so he might as well say full price

CHAPTER 25 / 37 Discussion

Pentagon IT Consolidation and the Einstein Program

The Pentagon is moving toward a single service provider for its IT needs to cut redundancies, a move the hosts view as a major security risk. They also discuss the "Einstein 3" intrusion detection system, which monitors government traffic on private sector sites like AT&T, and criticize the program's effectiveness.

pentagon· it infrastructure· einstein 3· nsa· cybersecurity· chertoff

1:46:43 It's all EU money anyway. That's just the way it always is, that's the way our government works. Oh you're getting paid twice as much? Ah we'll take twice as much! Yeah there are a couple of new websites I found that do...that report on...I don't know how to find the name for you they report on government IT government information technology And there was this article, just speaking of government for a moment. The Pentagon is going to move to... they're hoping it says... Going to move to a single service provider for all their IT needs. What? Yeah! They should do it in-house are they nuts?!

1:47:24 So, the standardizing IT infrastructures will enable end-to-end network and security posture and improve operational coordination across departments and geographies according to Greg Garcia, the Army's Information Technology Agency Executive Director. The consolidation is an effort to cut out redundancies in how the Pentagon delivers IT services across its vast bureaucracy After a month-long study of the IT costs of the Pentagon Reservation and National Capital Region, a memo from Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Wark made the single service provider SSP policy official. And of course, the question is who's going to be the single provider? And that seems by itself a huge security risk." They have to do this in house. The government should not be using outside people for doing government work like that. I hear you. You're gonna end up with Snowden! Yeah, I hear ya'.

1:48:24 Well, lots of trouble. There's trouble and part of there's something that what's this? What's that douchebags name who's in on this Chertoff they are implementing something called making the yes they're about to implement Einstein I think Einstein three which is yeah i know it's Einstein's the Einstein program intrusion detection system that monitors the network gateways of government departments and agencies in United States for unauthorized traffic They've already implemented it. That can't be bypassed! Yeah, so the features... There's got to be a way to beat that! It's got the name Einstein, huh? Upon its creation, Einstein was an automated process for collecting correlating analyzing and sharing computer security information across the federal... Giving you a false sense of security Across the Federal Civilian Government

1:49:16 Einstein does not protect the network. Oh, it just tracks it so here's what it collects data including honks a horn It's like oh boy Packet length protocol IP address. It's like it's like router logs that they're selling nice autonomous number system so that you're in network numbering system ASN I comp type and code So that's the type of packets packet length protocol source and destination IP source and destination This is a this is a Cisco router log file They're selling now that was then we have to Einstein to

1:49:56 They're selling a log file. They are! Calling it Einstein. Look at this, there's a bunch of log entries. That Einstein is smart. I wonder if... How does he know all that stuff? I wish it was an acronym they had for Einstein that would have been even funnier. Anyway, Einstein 3 is now going- This is being discussed and this will prevent attacks by quote shooting down an attack before it hits its target Oh really? It's Pentagon guys They have to use this they can't think of these things in any other terms. You know there's the Cyber space is a matrix of stuff It doesn't quite happen like a missile that you're not gonna shoot down before it hits its target and morons The NSA is moving toward forward to begin a program known as Einstein 3 which will monitor quote government traffic on private sector sites Oh Hmm

CHAPTER 26 / 37 Discussion

DHS Eagle 2 Program and Small Business Scams

The Department of Homeland Security's "Eagle 2" program, an enterprise acquisition gateway for IT services, is scrutinized for its $22 billion budget. The hosts suggest that many "small businesses" receiving these task orders are front organizations for larger interests, describing the system as a massive government scam.

dhs· eagle 2· government contracts· chertoff· small business

1:50:46 AT&T is being considered as the first private sector site. What was the name of that smelly wind? What was the... Stinkwind. What was the name of that thing? Binney was a part of it. Stellar Wind. The program plan which was devised under the Bush administration is controversial indeed, given the history of NSA and warrantless wiretapping scandal So this is what Chertoff is now pushing for very, very hard. More Keystone cops? Yeah sure! And then we have DHS who actually have a bill I think in the house for Eagle 2. These guys... if it's not Einstein... Eagle Two at work! 47 agencies face possible login credential exposure here we go what is this about wait no down here eagle two the government account of it okay eagle to

1:51:41 So Senate panel is waiting on Einstein. So it's in committee if we're going to implement Einstein 3, then we have... This is funny! I love this. Oh check this out here it is Department of Homeland Security's EGLE 2 program. This is uh but that's an acronym you want to give it a shot? Every account going long. E-A-G, every account going long everywhere. Not even close to! Eagle stands for Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading Edge Solutions

1:52:27 That's eagles. I know. Is there an S on eagle? No, no, no, I know that's Eagles. I know but they call it Eagle. Huh It's a suite of strategically sourced information technology services and contracts to build small businesses Oh brother have to build small business You don't how this works Tell me Dream up some bull crap and sell it to the government Do sounds good. What do you think the budget is for Eagle to 30 million dollars? That's that's what the Navy is paying Microsoft to maintain Windows XP No, what is the budget which the general a government accountability office in dollars now yeah Yeah, no 22 billion dollars

1:53:18 What kind of, how come we're not in on these scams? Because we're stupid. We're podcasters. Podcasting at work! 22 billion dollars That's a lifetime employment contract Yep They see as of March 2015 Department Homeland Security has already issued And it won't work No Has already issued 74 Eagle 2 task orders And that by itself, just these 74 Eagle 2 task orders amounts to $591 billion. Now most of it went to small businesses which is the point this is why Chertoff was all jumping up and down these guys are quote unquote small businesses so this is what we should be doing We should put a little small business together and get us some of this 22 billion. Yeah we need do one little specialty thing that no one else can do

CHAPTER 27 / 37 Discussion

Greek Debt Crisis and Bank Run Anxiety

Greece faces a financial shutdown as the Eurogroup refuses to extend its bailout following Prime Minister Tsipras's call for a referendum. Reports of long lines at ATMs and banks running out of cash dominate the news. The hosts speculate that Russia may step in to bail out Greece to secure the "Turkish Stream" pipeline route into Europe.

greece· eurogroup· yanis varoufakis· atms· referendum· russia

1:54:17 We got enough geniuses that listen to the show. Maybe we could just be a jingle put together a team, a tiger team! We could just be a jingle production house for them They don't they not bought our first product No and I thought that was just... I thought that was pretty cool Yeah well it just makes you sick In the United States of Euroland we have let's see two reports Obviously both Greece related. I'll just play them here we go There may be applause in Athens but reactions in Brussels seem to tell a different story The president of the Euro group has announced financial aid for Greece will stop full stop on Tuesday night Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis says he believes a deal can still be struck despite Yerouen Daiselbloem statement government has broken off the process, has rejected the proposals and is now putting them

1:55:21 which is also an unfair way to put it to the Greek people putting them now, to the Greek people in a... But we don't care give them all this shit. The Greek people take it you know? Fuck'em! A referendum with negative advice Negative advice. That's right that's negative advice but the Greeks they don't want to do it so we're not gonna eat in greek restaurants fuck'em Given that situation I think we must conclude that however regretful that the program will expire on Tuesday night. Stuck between a rock and hard place some might say, the onus is on the Greek people to decide whether or not to accept the deal proposed by the country's international creditors. Varoufakis is calling for better proposals however Dijsselbloem has said in no uncertain terms that the plans laid out have already offered them maximum flexibility possible So the Greek people are anticipating and ready and they're doing it

1:56:15 is withdrawing as much money from the ATMs as possible. Yeah, they're trying to get a run on the banks I don't know who's causing this but they're doing it- doing pretty good job of it. I have two reports on this Good! I have the local report which is done by freelancers and this is local news that would be probably pretty close to what the government wants uh...the public to hear The concern though is that there are carried out by Islamic radicals loyal to ISIS and this is serious concern for you You got the wrong clip It says local report on Greece And that's the clip? Uh-huh. Well, that one is dead! Unless the Greeks are being attacked by ISIS... I thought this was something...I was readying up Clipper of the Day if you're gonna connect this to ISIS, this is great! Alright let's go to the other one This is The Greek Report and this is promoting the run on the banks. Port for the Prime Minister

1:57:09 The weekend is always busy here, as Athenians stock up for the week ahead. For pensioners these are anxious times but nobody can be sure what the next few days have in store or whether a referendum will even solve Greece's problems Let's leave Europe now we've had it with all these agreements How am I meant to answer this question when no one is explaining it? What would happen if we go back to the drachma and what happens if we stay in the euro. I think its a great mistake, If you owe so much money you cannot afford to be so arrogant Meanwhile unusual queues building up at the cash machines Some Greeks are getting nervous

1:58:02 It's not yet panic, but a significant number of Greeks are taking no chances with their own money. The government is trying to sound reassuring but the remorseless logic of the situation is this... The more Greeks take fright, the more trouble the banks will be in The government is also appealing for unity, but the danger is that Greeks are increasingly polarized as to how their country can emerge from this crisis. Barnaby Phillips Al Jazeera Athens. Yeah that's how you do it. That's how you do it! Get everyone all jacked up... I think have a report from the

1:58:40 Another one, maybe they do it in this report as well. It's being widely reported that the European Central Bank may decide to cut off its emergency lending to Greece Media reports suggest the bank will make the decision at an emergency meeting of its governing council I love that media reports not even they don't even go to the source anymore just a man media reports and she probably wherever the newspaper says so yes probably true on Sunday afternoon The news will add to the already deep anxiety in Greece. The country's banks depend on the ECBs emergency liquidity assistance to function Observers say if the emergency funding is cut off, banks may be closed in Greece on Monday Capital controls have to be brought in That's pretty blatant right there. A third of ATMs reportedly ran out of money yesterday Ah get there quick you're running out of money

1:59:34 Without more funds, Greece will default on a 1.6 billion euro loan repayment owed to its international creditors by this Tuesday The Eurogroup refused to extend Greece's next bailout beyond Tuesday. They blamed Greek Prime Minister Alex Tsipras' call for a referendum on the conditions of the deal It will be held on July 5th. There you go, the referendum... This was supposed to happen last Monday we talked about it at the DHM plug show that everything pulled back and it wasn't going to happen it was pretty obvious that things were gonna level out

2:00:14 And then as we're back to this again, and it's almost as if somebody is pulling a bunch of strings in the background. I would wonder who it's either the United States or Russia to get this to happen? to get because they're the ones who could benefit. Well, Russia would make sense. They're doing deals for the pipelines. Yeah, they would benefit a lot but they already have Cyprus. And they can bring some money and they got plenty of money there but their balance sheet is fine. They got cash it's not as bad as everybody makes it out to be and so they could come in and bail Greece out and then be kind of like eh you know we had to do it cause you guys are all screwed up And because these reports, every one of them...I have one from Al Jazeera. I have one from the CBC Canadian Broadcasting and I have some local ones and they're all the same. Oh! The banks? Oh! They've got cash machines that you get right to get to the cash machines as fast as you can everyone. You are Greek living in United States call your relatives and tell them to take money out while they can."

CHAPTER 28 / 37 Discussion

Currency Speculation and the Return of the Drachma

Financial experts debate the impact of Greece potentially returning to the drachma, with Larry Summers warning of currency hoarding. A host shares a tip from an ex-banker predicting the Euro will spike to 1.18 despite the current instability.

drachma· larry summers· forex· euro· investment

2:01:07 And a lot of people have believed that if they went back to the drachma, the Greeks would then hoard...this was actually discussed by Summers. Larry Summers in that interview he did with Charlie Rose and who says this would be bad idea He says that if they went back to the drachma, it would really be a problem because the Greeks would now take all the euros they could get ahold of and hoard them. Because they know those will be worth something! And of course that takes all money out of circulation and then you have this crazy drachma which has no basis to exist. I forwarded you the note from the...

2:01:43 The ex-banker from New York and he said, forget about it. They've got it as no default is not going to happen I followed up with him and he said euro's gonna spike Well the euros gonna spike He says a target of 118 What does the Euro spiking have to do with any of this? Just investment opportunities Let's take a look at them at the Euro He said 118 is his target 118, well that's up. I think it was at 111 right now let me find out. That would be a nice 4% jump. I'd take it. Well for currency... For the Forex yeah. It moves at all and has been moving all over the place. Well I'll keep an eye on that because right now get this off the screen. It's $1.115 so its one dollar eleven cents point five right now

2:02:39 So, he thinks it's going to 118. It could. It's not impossible but something is up and somebody... this is somebody, some other... This is outsiders that are stirring this up. I agree with Russia. I think that you're spot on they're trying to put the Turkish stream together they'd like it to enter through Greece to go into Europe. Greece would be perfect for Russia And it solves lots of problems. It does, and they share orthodox religious beliefs... In the same church? Yeah. It's got Russia written all over it! I think we're becoming flat-footed here with John Kerry and his... They don't know what they're doing and now we are embroiled in talks with Iran which are going nowhere. Hey could Russia annex Greece like Crimea did?

CHAPTER 29 / 37 Discussion

Listener Donations and the "Polluted" Brown Egg Story

The hosts read letters from donors, including a request for travel karma for a trip to Tokyo. A humorous anecdote is shared about a mother's belief that brown eggs were "polluted" rather than simply coming from a different breed of chicken.

2:03:26 I don't think they'd want it. That would cause too much trouble, but that would just be become partners make them join cabin joined the Warsaw pact. Perfect. You have some people to thank. And of course, a example of the random number theory... Oh no I take it back it's not Mark Plager. Mark Pugner came in from Chalmersburg Illinois with the highest amount 19933 just under the number for some reason we don't know why

2:04:06 Mark Plager, which I could have been Pugner in Beaver Creek Ohio 13231 and he has a note here. He wants some travel karma as he has to Tokyo in a few days but he needs to mainly call out Dieter Archer and Kevin Porter as tremendous douchebags for having never donated, at least to my knowledge. I don't know if you could be calling people out if you don't know for sure. Yeah, you gotta know for sure. Donald Borosky... there's a note here We have to read his notes when they come in because they're, they come in on the United Federation of Planets letterhead. My favorite! Matt must obey. It's also WA60MI Nice I'm not sorry. I keep saying zero but it's W A 6 O M I Oh And I wrote this...I put this is a newsletter. I might as well read it Anyway thanks for both of you for battling the fear porn being sold to us every day

2:05:10 This is especially important to those of us who are retirement age, a time when the floodgates of fear are opened fully." So I thought that was worth reiterating. That's right. Onward. It's scaring old people. Scaring old people? Disgusting! That's the new world order man, scaring old people. Yeah my mother was always scared all the time. She had to calm her down. But she was scared of the Chinese right? Well she was scared they're gonna buy all the toilet paper. Right which... Which it was just minor fear A hundred dollars. One time I got into a thing with my... Did I tell the egg story? Please tell the egg story! My mom, uh, said you know we're getting some eggs or something and she says oh these are brown. Hey Mom good to see ya, I gotta get some eggs is that how it works? The brown eggs. We were getting our own eggs. Oh from the chickens yeah. Oh no those brown eggs are not good. I said why? She goes they're brown because they're polluted

2:06:08 Did she watch Fox News or what did your mom do? I don't know where she got this. And I said, no, no they're not... It's it's not the brown egg is from a different chicken and then she laughs as if i'm an idiot! And she says, it's not the chicken?! This kind of awkward way that you should believe brown eggs were the chicken. Wait a minute let me just see So your mom says, you crazy son! It's the brownies. They're brown because they're polluted. That's your mom. Is that you? No, that's not me. Oh, that's pretty good to laugh I'm full of them Those eggs are polluted Sir Jason Southwell came in with $100 from Pompano Beach Florida

2:07:03 I think that's what he does, he donates every month. Wait we had Kenneth? Did you do Kenneth Micklebust? Oh sorry, Kenneth Shortland Micklebust in Edinburgh also 100 bucks and says please give my girlfriend Nana some fuck cancer karma so we have to throw that in there You got it, you got it Make a note Oistenburg Oh, let me have it in Dutch.

The War of 1812 Virtual Donation Battle

In a fundraising effort, the hosts pit Canadian listeners against American listeners in a "War of 1812" donation battle. Canadians are encouraged to donate $71.15 for Canada Day, while Americans donate $74.15 for the 4th of July. The segment tracks the "tote board" as Canadian donors take an early lead.

2:07:57 Okay, we'll give you some job karma at the end. Thomas Nussbaum again $74.15. Right. Kaylin Nestor in Northville Michigan $74.50 okay here's the deal So I put in a newsletter that if you're an American, you want to celebrate the 4th of July donate 7415. And then... July 4 2015 got it. 7-4 15 fourth of July and i also said i started by saying happy Canada Day! If you're a Canadian donate 7115 and we will recreate a virtual version of the war of 1812. Ah yes which who is the winner? The Canadians versus the Americans

2:08:40 So in which, hold on. In which we had Indians fighting engines? We had a lot of people fighting and what America's typically don't know is that the Canadians kicked our ass And that was the...and no one wants to talk about it, except in Canada. All right so let's see how we do in this epic recreation of the 1812 battle. I give points to Canada because they have probably 1 third the number of listeners that we have in Canada than we have in United States. So their votes should be... Arguably a tenth! Well then they'd have 10x but we'll see. We're going to let this little battle go until after you get back from vacation. Nice

2:09:22 So it'll be going for two weeks, two weeks of this. Two week for the battle royale? Of the War of 1812 redux! Thomas Nussbaum is in for 7415. Kalyn Nestor in Northville Michigan 7415 James Moore San Pablo California right up the street from me He says, you and Adam are the real patriots. Not those fools the media wants to foist on us! Keep up the great shows! Hell Apple! 7415 Christopher Jackson Brownsburg Indiana 7415 And he's his first time donor Dame Jennifer Buchanan in Charleston South Carolina right in the middle of everything She says that she loves Charleston. Charleston is a beautiful town

2:10:15 Jason Daniels, 74-15 from Dallas Texas and now Nikki in Ajax Ontario. came in with 74, 7340 which has got nothing to do with anything. But she did make a note and I thought it paid for the play this she's hooked on this show as your first time donor She needs a de-douching and uh... i think we should give it to her because her husband hit her in the mouth and we have another few listeners. Yeah send pictures You've been de-douched Alright so we have the Americans coming in with one two three four five six

2:10:51 six donations. It's kind of paltry, but again they didn't realize the severity of the situation and they came in because here we go with the Canadians. The severity is a situation! They're going to burn down the White House! Sir Robert Goschko... They're gonna mix up the colors! They've already changed the colors these Canadians. But they are gonna mix them up, they are gonna do something radical like put blue first oh no! Sir Robert Goschko in Sherwood Park Alberta 7115 Jonathan Churco in Saskatoon, my favorite city I've never been to. 7115 Sir Thomas Nussbaum in Virginia Beach, Virginia what?

2:11:31 He's given 7115 to the Canadian side. He's a traitor! It's a turncoat. Dame Monica Lansing, Drayton Valley Alberta 7115 Sir Mathew Helly. Mathieu.

Chaka-luk-check! And she gives everyone 15 from Calgary and she says this idea was just too good

2:12:58 Press and finally Prescott Johnson in East Mountain, Nova Scotia 7150. Let's take a total of the Canadian We have six for the United States of America ladies gentlemen six in total And now we go to our tote board five our totes more seven John's at the tote board nine ten eleven twelve thirteen 13 to 6 is the score and if we have a multiplier when there would be 30 to 6 Are we going to put the multiplier in? We don't need to. The Canadians don't need it! I'm celebrating for the Canadians here, very good Canada. We'll deal with the multiplier at the end of this score.

Producer Credits and the "She and Hitler" Note

The hosts conclude the donor segment by encouraging producers to list their credits on LinkedIn. They read a confusing note from a long-time listener about his 61-year marriage and his wife's mistaken belief regarding the birth year of Adolf Hitler.

CHAPTER 32 / 37 Discussion

Peak Oil Data and Climate Change Skepticism

The International Energy Statistics data suggests a nearing peak in oil production, though the hosts remain skeptical of the "peak oil" narrative. They also share an insider email from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) regarding the political nature of climate research and promote a library of peer-reviewed papers that support skeptic arguments against man-made global warming.

peak oil· climate change· pnnl· anthropogenic· peer-reviewed

2:19:36 Just when we thought peak oil was over. Uh-oh! Yep, the International Energy Statistics data has been updated through February of 2015 by the EIA and all data in the charts show that we are nearing the peak We're just about at the peak And this was like a Yahoo News report. So someone's pushing, someone's pushing to try... Somebody didn't get the memo about this? It's not working! This peak oil thing just doesn't work. Hey buddy! Tap tap tap Are you familiar with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory? The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory? Yeah, PNNL I haven't been to it But are you familiar with what they do?

2:20:22 I don't know. They create a lot of pro-climate change, manmade climate change documentation and studies... Oh cool! It's a laboratory And we have someone on the inside. Anonymous, and I'm not going to mention anonymous's position within the PNNL. You know you shouldn't. Can't do that however i will read the email from anonymous but think there was a follow-up that came in today as well yes okay As a dweller in the Pacific Northwest myself I think I should have gotten this email. You have the Martha Stewart joke so be happy with that. I just oh...I wanted to share something

2:21:00 On my first day at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, the chief operating officer of the lab talked to me and some other people as part of our orientation. He said something that I think needs to be shared he said i'm not going to tell you that global warming is real or that climate change is real. He went on to tell us that a lot of climate research goes on in the lab but I thought it was pretty significant than one of the top scientists at the top climate research lab would admit this up front Normally, I just put this out on social media and YouTube but the lab has a policy about making political statements while identifying as someone who works at PNL. I don't want to lose this job before even get started." I figured you guys might find it interesting? Yes! I find this highly interesting they're lying And here he received sent me an email from the... They're on the tit, they have to suck it It means they got to say certain things or are there

2:21:56 thing dries up on him. Well, he also our insider...our anonymous PNNL insider has said there's a new term that I think might amuse you that i'm seeing everywhere you're going to write this one down John ready? Could be a show title! No it's way too much no it cannot be a show title not going to happen global climate change caused by anthropogenic drivers of emission scenarios Wow, that's not gonna catch on. Let me write it down again... Global climate change caused by anthropogenic drivers of emission scenarios

2:22:43 anthropogenic drivers. Yeah, so that'd be man-made drivers which could be anything... Drivers? Okay but it doesn't mean car drivers it means the things pushing... Pushing yes. Of emission scenarios So I guess it's the drivers, things that are man-made things that are pushing emission scenarios. A scenario is not a fact or scientific repeatable experiment. The scenario is just a sketch isn't? It's just an outline of something that might be. Wow! That's pretty complex...that's interesting. We'll look into that

2:23:24 So we... Let me put it into the Google. Oh, see what pops up? Probably you're going to find the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. And this is good. This is a lot to type in! Okay well take the next ten minutes and talk about something while I type this in. No that's okay I just thought it was nice that we have an insider. We have... Oh, there is another cool website and i do want people to look at that. Wait wait! I am still typing. I have to type over the microphone, which makes it difficult. I thought you told me to do something for myself? Yeah but you told me to type something else in. Okay all right there's a link in the show notes to populartechnology.net which has an entire library categorized by just almost any topic you can imagine on climate change and this library includes 1 350 peer-reviewed papers supporting skeptic arguments against

2:24:28 man-made climate change, man made global warming. And these are good and they have them organized by region, they have them organized by Antarctica, Arctic Climate Center clouds coral reefs They have you know there's period there's papers on the Roman Warming Period, The Medieval Warm Period Ocean Acidification every single thing that is being touted as fact and true These are peer reviewed papers suggest the opposite or suggest that they are just alarmism. It's a good resource. Okay, this doesn't exist but there is a bunch of special reports floating around on emissions scenarios which is worth looking at it. Anything good? Anything we need to look at now? No no no... We have to do some reading I think we can move ahead

CHAPTER 33 / 37 Discussion

Future Poop Trains and IRS Email Deletion

A report on future transportation suggests trains may eventually be powered by sewage. The discussion shifts to the IRS scandal, where thousands of Lois Lerner's emails were reportedly erased from backup tapes despite a preservation order. The hosts explain the technical process of using a "degausser" to destroy magnetic media.

trains· sewage power· irs· lois lerner· backup tapes· degausser

2:25:27 What you think no, well I yeah go a little report on trains future trains. Oh that we need to play our all aboard trains good Planes bad doesn't need setup Yeah, I have to set it up This is a law this was a special Report on the future of trains and they had all these different kinds of crazy trains because only ones that go through like Magnetic loops and all the rest and then they all go pretty fast You know, 1905 passed. But I just thought the way this report... This is the end of the report. I just thought it kind of ended flat. We think about trains to be jumping through hoops will be racing through them at lightning speeds floating flying or fluffy The tracks of tomorrow are bound to be very different but one of the most surprising things about future trains may be where they'll get their power from sewage

2:26:23 Ha ha ha poop train nice Okay, now we need somebody to do this song love train and make it poop train. Come on all the poop All right everybody time for tech news that's what we do here on Sundays in the best podcasting universe We got tech news not the tech horny stuff but stuff that people really care about dudes name been like it is Tech News Tech News I'll start off with a little bit of tech news. The dude's name Ben, not hearing much about this but of course we had some missing emails from the IRS and lo and behold it turns out they've been deleted John!

2:27:08 After an order to preserve evidence, the Internal Revenue Service says it erased hundreds of backup tapes containing tens of thousands of Lois Lerner emails. Testifying before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration's office says there are still up to 24 thousand unrecovered Lerner emails after promising to provide Congress all of learners emails, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said his agency lost or destroyed two years worth of her electronic correspondence. Koskinen pledged his agency would attempt to recover those lost emails however the Inspector General says the IRS failed to search several sources for learner e-mails like backup tapes hard drives and loaner laptops sources that he says ultimately produced previously undisclosed emails.

2:27:56 Who the hell, what dude named Ben erases backup tapes? Oh. Someone told to? Yeah this is not normal Can you use like one of these uh we do a big giant magnet or something because I don't know if we're gonna get this data off here Those things called degausser yeah degausser we call it degausser Degausser That's what i always called it degausser I think you did. I think that's a different pronunciation we have to look it up, but anyway i used to have one of those they're great yeah for giant magna you put the tape on top of it push the button turn the tape this thing is dead empty yep there's no residual nothing do you remember how so you held that big block and if you were erasing a cart like an eight track cartridge jingle cart as you have to look that up for people who don't know what talking about radio stations had an 8-track on an infinite loop

2:28:47 And you could put a jingle on that and it would have a tone on one of the tracks, and it would stop... ...and be queued up. And hit the button, it would play immediately. Jingle cartridge cart! Yeah those are the good ones. Nowadays? Yes, it's all just but on my iPad I was just talking about tech news. But, but when you degauss you had to slowly keep pressing the button and move it around but then you had to slowly move the cartridge away from the magnet before he turned it off did not do that? I'm talking about a...I used them for...Reel-to-reels? The same thing! Yeah, yeah, I never erased carts or ever use carts so don't have anything to do with them

2:29:31 So I didn't know that, but I can imagine because it made a pop or something? Yeah. It would leave residual stuff on it so you had to move away slowly so they really would feel... Is that absolutely true or do you think someone was just kidding giving you bull crap so they'd say hey watch this and pull away slowly like this No, I'm pretty sure of that actually made a difference. I'm pretty sure. It made a difference John, it did And then you have to slap your ass after pulling the card away Okay All right, you were gonna say something? I'm gonna complain. We do the tech news and so this really bothers me and this is something that's been going on since...I've been writing about tech forever and years ago, I mean years ago like 10 years ago when you called Wagner Edstrom or one of these public relations companies

CHAPTER 34 / 37 Discussion

The Decline of PR Databases and Cloud Inefficiency

A host laments the loss of efficient PR databases, noting that major agencies like those representing Microsoft no longer seem to track journalist interactions effectively. The conversation touches on the frustrations of migrating data between cloud services and the "single point of failure" inherent in centralized non-profit management software like Blackboard.

public relations· salesforce· microsoft· cloud storage· efficiency

2:30:26 I don't know what they were running, Windows 95. I'm not sure and you talk to anybody there. They had a computer at their desk like all of them still do and they would type your name in and boom! A database would come up about you just kind of like Salesforce does this sort of thing and Goldmine or whatever these programs are and they knew who you talked to last it was real data. Oh, I used to have... Do remember ACT? Act was one of them. Act was cool, I remember having using that. And so they bring you up and say oh yeah we sent you this, we sent you that... They know everything about ya! They got your shipping address and they give your address, yeah it's still is. So they update the file and now would be that About two years ago or three years ago You call em' up but they don't know who you are. I said what about, type me into the database? What database? As we've progressed

2:31:25 Like these big companies, I mean this is the Microsoft's number one public relations agency. They have to keep track of it? Nah, nah they don't keep track anything. Don't care! Wow, it's just stunning because it's so easy to get PR. I guess at this point they don't know No, I don't think no I don't even think is cuz it's easy to get PR because right now It's too much trouble to even try because of bloggers they came in we have to give bloggers stuff They just gave up. I think it's like a they all threw up their arms This is we don't need to do anything you want said would call and will just try to make it happen if are You? disappointed in this development because you can no longer get free stuff? No, it's not a matter of getting free. So I can still get free stuff but now i have to go through more of a rigmarole. Is this your adobe problem? It stunts me the inefficiency of it! It's not that I can't get free stuff...it's like I can't efficiently get free stuff

2:32:18 It's like who are and then you have to explain who you are. Can you send me your bio? You know, okay Here's my bio. Oh Okay Podcaster fuck that guy anybody podcast it's astonishing. Do you want a podcast now we can't give you any free stuff all this right Well there is that all of this progress has been made You go through all this trouble of putting this elaborate database together and someone comes along, we're upgrading to this and that the database won't work anymore. We got to start from scratch. We can't migrate it." That's what happened. What is the point? What is the point of any of this crap if that's the end result? Oh, we can't migrate it. The database no good anymore. We've gotta upgrade. Yeah. And yeah, it's true. Dude! That's fantastic. It's true

2:33:08 There are companies now that have taken over this. I know from the non-profit sector, there's companies that give you everything your newsletter and your donor database... And I know three nonprofits that use this what is the name of that company again? Blackboard, I think it's not black board is that what it's called? It was called Blackboard yeah Blackboard does solutions for associations. Is that it? Yeah, no problem. That's gonna be a dead end Oh but it's horrible It's horrible because they track your donors and everything And you know it's a single point of failure You kind of have to do what they... the way they do it People think oh that's easy cause its cloud based I don't have to worry about anything Oh that makes it better But then yeah but then trying to customize or get something done You have to call support and yes it's not all that hard Newsletters although we use MailChimp

2:34:06 But when you have, you know... When you're really using the full spectrum of solution and then you know better than the other guy. And Lord knows what's happening on the inside. I have this there was a... It's problematic! You need to decentralize this stuff pronto Well, even when you had then the cloud thing is actually making these more screwy and confusing. I just got into a dialogue which all of a sudden abruptly ended with Seagate. Hey, I want my free stuff! And why am i free stuff? You should call him up as God. Hold on hold on hold on hold on hello seagate here okay what hello seagate here right one in the sky oh great one in this guy let me tell this story so um

CHAPTER 35 / 37 Discussion

Seagate Cloud Storage Limits and Surge.sh Deployment

Technical issues with Seagate's 200GB free OneDrive offer are discussed, specifically a 20,000-file limit that prevents users from utilizing the full storage capacity. The hosts also endorse a new tool called "Surge" for rapid deployment of static websites to a CDN via the command line.

seagate· onedrive· surge.sh· cdn· static websites

2:34:54 They've got some new offering, which is you buy a 5GB one of those little drives you can plug in. Or terabyte? SSIDs? SSDs? No but they actually... I think they're moving to SSID's pretty strongly. I think it's going to be the hard disk because days are numbered but so much cheaper still have a hard disk. So they have this product and then it has As some part of this product, this backup system you get 200 I don't know why they did this deal. You get 200 gigabytes free cloud storage on one drive

2:35:33 which is the Microsoft. Yeah, yeah I've been playing with it has it has issues It has a 20 thousand file limit so you get to about 80 gigabytes and your done where's my terabyte? I don't get my terabyte Oh files interesting! Yeah that's a little gotcha that they don't talk about nobody in these tech I have a terabyte supposedly on one drive already because i use the office 365 And will this combine with that? Will I now have a terabyte point, uh two you know .1.2 and oh i get back to you so yeah it gets back to me yeah yeah it's all the part of the same okay okay So is now just grown my terabyte to 1.2 because of this disk drive then ask the question okay Now let's say I got sick of using Microsoft

2:36:32 Office 365 and I want, I'm going to reclaim my data. And but you're still gonna have the 200 on there but I have to take the terabyte off somehow put on their backup driver whatever. Don't worry we'll just delete your account so my question was what part of this entire mess of backups i have in the cloud end up staying with the 200 gigs? Which is like yeah, which part of the 1.2? Yes yes yes question mm-hmm Yeah, I haven't heard back no. I didn't think so ace this says they're not answering this question That's my tech news for the day. More frustration. Well I just wanted to mention a new product which i like very much called Surge and this is for the dudes name Ben, surge dot sh This is...I really like what has happened here it's uh you install a command line its uh...what is it? I guess maybe

2:37:31 It's a JSON thing right so you have to have that installed, but yeah That's that's pretty standard these days and you just go to a directory and you type in surge And it will automatically create a URL, directory, web server — the whole thing. Pushes the content in that directory and folder you have and then propagates it to CDN for free. Now of course they have paid tier but the way of deployment this is fantastic! So I just wanted to mention that as a product. It's an endorsement from a show that takes no money for endorsements. What does it do? What was the point of it? Well, the point is very quick...very rapid deployment of static website or anything you need just...it's almost like an Amazon bucket in a way except you're getting the CDN and they have a free tier which is quite liberal. And its command line, you just type surge and then everything in that directory will be synced right over to the CDN

ICANN Privacy Changes and Google Chrome Audio Capture

ICANN is reportedly moving to end private "Whois" data, which would expose the identities of domain owners. Additionally, Google has been criticized for automatically updating Chrome with a listening piece of code for "OK Google" that enables audio capture by default, raising surveillance concerns.

icann· whois· google chrome· privacy· audio capture· surveillance

2:38:30 That's interesting. Yeah, it's a nice product very...it's so simple that we know what works on all platforms so it's nice then the ITA was at the ITA well you know the ICANN this is the outfit that manages the domain names address space etcetera whois database So they've been following us for a long time about how this would be become an international endeavor and it would no longer Who's that douchebag who was running ICANN, living high on the horse from this non-profit? High on the horse. Yes! Go on... Yeah so it looks like the ICANN when it's transitioned to whatever this new entity will be will no longer allow private Who Is data

2:39:22 What does that mean? That means you can no longer register a domain name through a third party which keeps your identity secret. Oh, no anonymizers! No anonymizers yeah. Ah well that's a plus The whois data will be completely exposed and it has to be non-obfuscated for the true owner For us its great I think Yeah I think it is It would be more of a trail And then...I was ridiculed several years ago You've always been ridiculed Well its what happens Just put that on my plaque when I'm dead. He was always ridiculed. Okay, thanks Google downloaded or automatically updated all versions of Chrome with a listening piece of code which they did outside the open source release of Chromium and it is enabled by default

2:40:17 for audio capture. And they say, oh we need this for OK Google. If you say OK Google... So this is now enabled by the microphone, enabled by default, audio capture allowed by default I always said if you watch these guys are going to be listening! They're putting code in. Why wouldn't they? The way you see, well you know there's lousy mac and cheese. I'm not buying this brand anymore what do you think we should get honey? Oh i don't know no it's if you have a dog barking in your house then you get ads for dog food that's about the level they've got i don't think they have the voice processing down yeah
