I've never heard that oh really well your mullet Swag, its swag it means yes or I agree s or I agree or right on swag right home swag Don't believe that'll catch on because it's a term that has secondary meanings that are more powerful than the in the I'm sorry me. Oh, well. I would agree Look don't shoot the messenger every time News news flash news flash news flash. I will be attending the Podcasting Hall of Fame induction of myself oh yeah when's this? Friday the 31st It's coming its coming up man days Yeah

01:58 So we have to I need an acceptance speech. Yeah, you kept telling me that and then when i gave you some ideas and you told me to Well hold on here's John's idea Okay, I step up to the microphone And I say my partner John C Dvorak wrote a speech for me Thank You Award! And then I dropped the mic No thank you FOR award Oh I thought it was just award FOR award Thank you FOR award Dropped the mic and walk Dropped the mic grabbed the popcorn That would work. It would be great, people would say wow! What an asshole is what they'll say. No they're not. Oh come on. Nobody wants to listen to some long-winded speech when somebody's accepting an award they don't even want to be there if they didn't win I disagree

02:52 Oh, but what? It's fun. You disagree you think people are actually going to these award shows to hear some long-winded And I'd like to thank the Academy my mom My dad our creator your dad. I love your dad a Creator that kind of thing you want you see really think so no I don't want to do a long winded speech But have to do something why I got another new idea okay was that a short history of podcasting and where it's headed with an upbeat kind of a conclusion. Well, I was thinking about this... And then you hold up the award at the end right to very end is we have do it at the very end that yes you're done with your little spiel you hold up the awarded way up in the air you know grip tightly and up in the air and go GO PODCASTING!

03:48 We're unstoppable My mom would be so proud I'm a podcaster It's kind of strange that the whole thing like a hall of I mean, I do this because if you don't do it then You know then people forget invited back. Yeah well there's that and then you know people Forget I'm already seeing ten years of podcasting articles that Pretty much. You know like you're being left out yeah, of course Of course I don't need to be mentioned everything yes you do Hey, I'm gonna do with podcasting well. You should get a publicist or just oh yeah people who don't write about ya I Have the guy invents the whole thing and you don't even mention him dude Did you ever hear of them no?

04:42 Well, then you don't even know what you're doing. I was thinking about podcasting though and really how NPR who had...who I think are with Serial or the NPR people is not necessarily NPR of the serial podcast is without doubt responsible for a lot of good ink that came back at this, you know...this 10 year anniversary. Yeah but what is so sad is that these NPR people had no idea they couldn't monetize it, they couldn't capitalize on it! They could not own They have not been able to do this. And I was really thinking, what is it? Why is that not working and also why did Podshow not work for that matter? It worked for a long time but it really didn't...didn't last long. Dr. Kahne Well, yeah. Well, I have some thoughts on why the NPR thing didn't work. First of all, I think we're dealing with NPR, we're dealing with a Kodak phenomenon

05:37 Huh invented the digital camera. They are all over they had a lot of good cameras They always think and so much ingrained fit so many ingrained film guys in the company all throughout through the executive Part of it mostly that couldn't get their head around that Their side if it is a dying side even though it was not still making money, which is the NPR thing they you know see They broadcast and they have a formula, and they have these deals with these little affiliates. And everybody gets...they don't step all over them when they broadcast. I think what's changed is—and you see that why we call our listeners producers—we've really seen radio certainly not music radio but informational radio the concept of the broadcast network has been inverted

06:28 Let me see if I can explain. So it used to be that you'd have a network and the network was centralized, centralized programming and it used affiliates to distribute the programming. And now the affiliates have become contributors—the affiliates what we call producers are also our listeners—they're actually producing the programming! That's what NPR can never allow because they're so full of themselves Uh, yeah well we can't just have people sending us jingles so that is no good! We can't do that. No we have to have them all zeroed out 0dB. We have to do it ourselves. We can't have anybody doing this. Nononono! Well there is that I can assure you if you send me-

07:23 No, no, no, no. Hey! I can assure you that if somebody sent in a jingle that was catchy like that little one You just played yeah, they would never get on the air ever know exactly two reasons. You cite Never happen why would we do that? Why will we let these people do this also it's 30 lose our job It's 31 seconds not the the Required thirty seconds we can't do this no we can't do this no way man is that too now

08:00 Yeah, no. You are dead right about this not taking advantage of cereal. It was a phenomenal thing! I don't think it was phenomenal that phenomenally. Well, I don't know because actually only listened to a little bit of it but It was a phenomenon is what I'm trying to say. And everyone's all jacked up, oh, we'll be doing this podcasting in the future and then write a bunch of articles and then it fades out. And it's all the same things about how do we make money? You know what are the...how many downloads you have? How do you know if someone listens? We're going through the same cycle, the same loop but then very very slowly things like The Noah Jender Show do creep in. Well except for today

08:49 Yeah, I know. I saw this interest in today's show and we have one producer Adam please go back to Holland or whatever and go away so that was thinking yeah Adam comes back hey is Adams back hooray yeah whatever whatever dude I know I know. You want to tell- you wanna do our one producer now since we're at it? Oh, good! I have a spreadsheet open though yeah Well give me a moment because i will say thank you very much for your courage and in the morning to you John C where the c stands for crazy like a fox Dvorak Well, in the morning to you Adam Curry. In the morning all our ships at sea... The boots on the ground and the... Subs in the water! In the morning everyone in the chatroom, noagendastream.com Good to have y'all onboard And in the morning to our artists, in the morning to Ivan Ivan brought us the artwork for episode 739er And what was that? Hmm hold on

09:51 What was the 739 artwork? It was the Bernie thing, wasn't it. Oh yeah we can do Bernies right right. Yeah that gag has been done I think a couple years ago without Bernie. Right quite the same. It still works it still works you know this is interesting I've had this problem with this browser I'm gonna have to run some Some stuff some you do need to keep talking in the mic. This is I'm sorry You remember the thing we talked about that you said it would be gone when I got back home no, yeah Well as because a couple of things one I didn't swap out the mic that would have a better rejection okay and the second thing is is I didn't hook up the the knuck as The as the podcasting machine because it has apparently Intel when they sent me this thing look at oh

10:37 They put a copy of a beta version of 8.1 and now when it calls home, it says sorry... Oh I see! You need to put some... so I have to go, I have a copy of this is very interesting that this does this. But I had to put Windows 7 on it, which is a step backwards. But then they'll upgrade it to Windows 10 when they allow that. Well, what happens is from time to time you just fade out. You fade way down into kind of nowhere. Sometimes I go off axis it's the problem Yeah well stay on the axis will ya? Here's what the deal is If you tell me to go to the spreadsheet or do anything on the computer screen...I have too The mic is in the way Pesky little thing Why don't we get one of those Britney Spears things What was it? The Radio Man? What is it called? Countryman

11:38 I've used countrymen. They're hard...I don't like them because they, I mean, actually when I was at the NAB conference, I had the countryman people, I went to their booth and have them show me how to put that mic on properly which as I look out there nobody puts it on properly. The mic should actually be touching your cheek. It should be in contact with your face But you got to bend it. Yeah, you bend it this way and then you bend it that way and then you get on into snaps... So tell us what microphone are you on today? I'm on the CAD 3000. Okay. It's something strange. I'm not sure what it is but if it dies off just go like... so here's what it sounds like. I'm John C. DeWark.

12:29 I don't know why it's doing that. So extremely disappointing, disappointing. We have one guy as the producer he came in with $200 from Amsterdam of all places Paul Oppen... Open Huffin open whole good up and huffing open off and off and off and off and off. Yeah, I'll take it Paul yeah from Amsterdam $200 came into it so he's the lucky winner of the two hundred dollars you get an executive associate or Executive producership because you're the highest that came in the highest than the only that came in over $200

13:09 Next Tuesday, it'll be the birthday of my love of life. And since she left me a wonderful note on t-b-p-o-t-u The best podcast of the universe. I guess it should be in the universe, but it's okay We'll take off. I like it when it was my birthday in February I'd like to return the favor ignoring the fact a few weeks ago we followed One of our other traditions as well which is ending our relationship during this summer It's if it's a fine. No, I think this is a very interesting idea Just you know what baby? I'm just gonna take the summer off all right. I'll see you in fall

13:53 We always were like water and fire, although we could make each other extremely happy. The opposite was very true as well some moments it felt like I'm missing a leg not having her around anymore but i think we can truly say we've tried everything and there's no doubt in my mind that we love each other. This is why we're breaking up Nonny! I love you so much if we need to spend some time apart When we first met, I hailed science and nothing to hide and had this strange urge to be normal. I was burning away my life juice." She taught me it was okay to be weird gave me the inspiration to change and taught me to think for myself And of course hit me in the mouth one of those switcheroo's where the woman hits the guy mm-hmm, which is Always more commonplace than you think ah They don't brag about it as much. I will miss her and her wonderful family add our Jan and Dita and Ditta

14:52 Duh-duh, duh-duh. But I am thankful for the time we've had and I know it's for the better. I'm sure she will find happiness and she will always have a special place in my heart and thoughts What's her name by the way? Do we ever... I know who that is! It's Ancilla Oh, okay. And so... oh! Yeah she moved to Berlin and I think that kind of complicated things. I don't know. I'm not exactly sure. That would complicate things. Hey, cool. I'M MOVING TO BERLIN!!! On a positive note Adam you never know maybe this Christmas she will now cook for you in her Christmas outfit. Uh-huh

15:30 I've seen photos of her Christmas outfit. It's not too much trouble, can you play my own jingle? Oh that's right Paul did the Obama 18. That's right! Hopefully my new jingle attached to this note or he's got a new jingle attached to this note which is the one i just played but i'm going to play a short version now for uh because he sent a long version and if you're really in a good mood Isis In America Because it's so wonderfully produced...I must have done that one Top it off with some relationship karma for her and everybody who needs it, please. And he will become even though his donation level was associate executive producer since he's the only one he wins the top spot to the coveted executive producer sole executive producer of episode 740 right? Yes there is a need for rescue missions when the world is threatened the world needs help that calls on America

16:31 And that's the story. You've got karma I inadvertently played the long version again, but i'll play the short version. I'm sure we'll be played more in the future Yeah, play it later and that's all That's it okay? All We Got well yeah even This is It Is quite Disappointing I have to say

17:27 Yeah, yeah welcome. This is your welcome back and and your whole newsletter focused very much on what it takes to produce this and Didn't run deaf ears. Yeah feel kind of although I will say that there's something amiss with the Even though I get a bunch of feedback because they sent the little secondary mailing out saying hey check your spam box Because we're losing a lot of opens like a lot Oh okay? I received in no massive amount you didn't go to spam spam on my box So that well I get a lot of notes right now. That's fine Well, maybe people are just like oh screw it male. I don't have a problem Maybe you need to you know put more different kinds of pictures in there Maybe kittens are done. I don't know if you think the mail guys is Google and those people hate cats Yeah, yeah the filtering that right out Just because they weren't a lot of opens doesn't mean that That it went to spam just people didn't open it maybe this subject line was wrong

18:23 What was the subject line? Hello. Hello, is it me you're looking for? No no we had...no this open thing is noticeable to me I know what a crappy subject line is and I know what this...I believe me but I've been doing this long enough now that I have a sense of it which is what you get too and I know when the...what a crappy subject line will deliver This is below that so you think that a lot of gmail went to spam one of our listeners sub producers Right in on Twitter. She says hey, let's say you the last eight emails have all gone to spam when it never has before and I keep time as hotmail and I keep White listing and white listing in whitelisting and it still goes to spam

19:15 So that's a problem. Hotmail is, it's a problem. It's a problem Well you know what you're supposed to do? You're supposed to go uh...to one of those companies and get yourself whitelisted anywhere and you pay about uh... was it fifty thousand dollars a month? Hey! Hey you! Hey hey yous MailChimp should be paying the money I agree This is a...to me, somebody's pointed this out to me. Some one of these guys who knows how the email system really works and he says that MailChimp is everyone saw it goes through some pipe that is just a piece of crap that they've just auto-spammed right into the spam boxes and there are some other issues. It's annoying. Well we have one of our producers works there so I'm sure he will get back to you on that

20:00 Yeah, I hope so if he's listening. He may not know there's a show on but you know gmail did Change something significant in the past week Yes that there has been a cheat Gmail has made it changed and Google has been making these changes on to the point where SEO Folks well bit of an SEO expert well besides the search part But they specifically think they specifically change something with Gmail and a lot of people I read a lot of posts about how newsgroup or mailing lists where people are responding back and forth, whatever just talking you get copies of the posts on the email those have gone to spam. And I also noticed

20:41 Because when Google changes these things, these gray lists or blacklists they get updated as well. I run my own mail server and subscribe to a number of these lists because typically it's pretty good but i think a lot of things got added that shouldn't have there must be some automated process where when google adds certain sites or certain scenarios to their blacklist I think it propagates With that said, I did get the newsletter so it wasn't a problem for me. But you know if people want to have Google control their email fine and this is what you get It hurts us too A lot Horribly but... So let me open up my Gmail account And see what a fine job they're doing on this Mail from Neiman Marcus 25% off summer home sale ends soon And that in your regular inbox?

21:37 Yes, true caller someone just searched for you on true color. Oh really who cares? This is fun Let me look at my gmail I have a Gmail seeking alpha goo does Google have any more upside This is all the night not go to spam Needs no this is not in the spam box This is the box that I can't wear they're regular inbox of regular inbox their regular inbox now Google billing, Google AdSense. Action required to get paid. Well there's something at least that's in the book. Do you get the Motley Fools crap spam? Oh the spam yeah I do. And it's like... Lord and Taylor never miss a parenthesis fashion unparenthesis moment

22:26 Neiman Marcus, stay up to date on the latest trends in fashion news. It's working! Oh yeah thank you Google. Okay Google. Don't tell them that don't do that it was funny I never mind Here's something in Russian I don't even know what this is Listing alert homes for sale in the 92127 area or zip code This is like somebody else's email I'm going to move on to our PR segment as we have some more information on the No Agenda CD Las Vegas meetup during DEF CON 23.

23:12 You want to pay attention this and I will put the PR mention into the show notes. Oh, it's from Ramsey Cain Yes We're having no agenda meet up in Las Vegas this August Defcon 23 we'll start things off at 6 p.m On Saturday August 8th at the Encore Lobby bar and cafe located in the glorious encore resort casino if you're planning to attend let us know by emailing NoAgendaCD at gmail.com or find us on Twitter at NoAgendaCD And they're hoping to have no agenda CDs and t-shirts for everyone. So if you want that, Ramsey says let us know your size shirt size not CD size okay hail Apple good August 8th. He wants to know if I'm coming this year. I don't know. Well is this during the awards? No it's August 8th. This is something completely different completely different

24:07 Okay, well just briefly the executive producership is an actual credit and we're very happy that Paul received that. He's done some fantastic work for us and we appreciate the support of the work end of the show and his relationship karma shout out there to his summer ex you never know these two they could get back together again. Well she leaves Berlin... We'll keep our eye on it So please feel free to put these credits on your LinkedIn where they appear to work very, very well. And of course we always need everybody out there doing the very important work of propagating our formula! Our formula is this... We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Shut up! Yo yo I'd like to start it off with some local Texas news

25:05 Which is... I find this... The murder of that poor woman who hung herself in the jail, supposedly? No. No no no. About Planned Parenthood. Oh! The baby choppers! Yeah, they have the baby crushers Now what's interesting is when you it's so difficult for the mainstream media who have always been all completely in on Planned Parenthood obviously without a lot of investigation or looking under the hood So to speak It's very hard for them to accept what has taken place here. And I had one additional thought about what is going on, but the first thing that i'm noticing is the mainstream talks about tissue you know they're all well you know for fetal tissue no no if you watch the video which and you can tell even uh... What's her name?

25:57 Megyn Kelly. She hasn't seen the video, I can tell by the question she's asking she hasn't actually watched the entire video which is not that hard to do because they are talking about full-on organs lungs heart liver... lungs and liver? I don't know if they actually mention heart but lungs and liver... Actually they mentioned heart at one point And how you know how they would do something specific to extract the fetus which is it's really a partial uh you know it's alive birth They extract the fetus so as not to damage the organs inside. There's entire instructions, and this is where it gets very very shady and I'm about to let a lawyer speak to it... It's one thing to have a process of abortion if you then change that process specifically to retrieve organs there are some legality issues with it And the lawyer who I've talked about is Ted Cruz

26:53 who is way down the list on favorites for winning the Republican nomination for president. But he does have some good information here. These tapings of Planned Parenthood selling body parts are grotesque, it highlights the evil of what they're doing. They say it isn't a sale? You know two things need to happen Number one, there needs to be a criminal investigation. There are at least three federal laws that are potentially violated One, selling the body parts of unborn children for profits Number two For any transfer of tissue there has to be written consent from the mother And number three

27:32 Under federal law, you cannot change the method of abortion if you're trying to get tissue. In that tape, you see they're discussing different methods to capture and so I'm calling on the U.S Department of Justice to investigate has federal law been violated? And i'm calling on state officials in any location where Planned Parenthood exists for State District Attorneys, State Attorneys General to investigate criminal conduct and I'll say in addition that I serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee, I believe the Judiciary Committee will hold oversight hearings to get to the bottom of what they did. And I'll tell you right now, I chair the Oversight Federal Rights and Federal Courts Subcommittee and if the full committee doesn't hold hearings, I intend to hold hearings to get to the bottom of what appear to be barbaric

28:19 Barbaric practices being carried out by Planned Parenthood. And barbaric is the word you'll hear over and over again, all of a sudden now we're going to...and everyone across the board is going to say oh yeah this is kind of barbaric what they're doing because you know... Barbarics interrupt the meme in there so I checked with our... Hold on before he go on with that because he does bring up a point cause I watched the whole thing Yes, the whole interview. It's a little less dramatic than the edited version which is... Well this is just one... Oh you mean the edit? Of the video, you mean? Yeah. I watched the whole version and I watched the whole thing And it's free now...I think they can slide on a couple of things They can slide on that profit thing because it's 30 bucks or something whatever their charges are Nahhh...see this is... But! I think they could slide on that and I think they will slide on just that third one he brought up That I didn't even know about About the procedure

29:15 That, to me I don't see how you get around it. Especially with that woman described doing. Now, I want to contradict you a little bit because it was between 30 and $100 per item. Right? So that could easily be depending on how many items you want, that could be five, six hundred dollars at who knows what the market will bear. And I was talking to Nurse Tracy our resident medical professional of this show And I said, what is the optimum age or gestation period of the fetus for organs that can be...that are useful? And interestingly enough that's about 20 weeks.

29:57 which is exactly the controversy over late-term abortions. Do you...let me just throw this out, it may be possible that the prices for these organs are more or I presume it's going to fluctuate with market demand that there may be some women who are so desperate that they will keep their child as long as possible. This is why the entire conversation maybe is about 20 weeks, who the hell knows? It could be they want to move that and keep it up even further or remove it altogether so that they can have more valuable wares to sell which goes all across the board right down to the provider of the parts which would be the mother. It's creepy to think about but it could be taking place

30:47 Pat, you're going back to the... Pat Roach Well that's a different story. Because I believe that the clinics that perform the work, which are affiliated...they're called the providers. If you watch that video she talks about the provider. We'll tell the provider to do this or do that. Tell them how to extract the fetus, to crush it, to get the organs out! They may be doing it for profit. Now its one step removed from Planned Parenthood but you can see the issue

31:40 Well, we have to assume that with Congress on the case that they will never get to the bottom of it. Yeah exactly yeah but I didn't know about that third element that eluded me yeah and i also don't know... That's going to be a problem! Yeah I have to look into the law to see exactly what's going on well I think he probably summarized pretty well And then we had our six-week cycle event on show day, which is always fantastic. This has happened a couple of times I think two or three times Yeah people say oh well you got late no this has happened I remember...I think the shooting at the Navy Yard was on the show day It was yes Now the problem here is that I was in transit and still kind of jet lagged I also have this weird headache that I think is pressurization related

32:34 It's just yeah, it's kind of like a sharp headache. Yeah I've had it's related to flying or long you know long periods of pressurization So anyways so I'm kind of out of it and I never really caught the whole story So I'm relying on you a bit to help us out with anything that you may have discovered Well there was a couple of things that went on let me take a look at my list here so I can figure out what clips to play but their first there was this event where the FBI tried to Frame some dummy, and this was the let me see if I find it. Oh, I got him in six week play This did this is the thing? I thought was they were trying to make the event and then they decided to go to plan B This is the six-week sucker backup scheme just took place a day or two before the other events

33:27 A 23-year-old Massachusetts man accused by the FBI of plotting attacks to show support for the self-described Islamic State appeared in court Tuesday. Alexander Ciccolo was arrested after he allegedly bought a duffel bag full of guns from an FBI witness. His father, a Boston police captain, had told authorities his son was growing obsessed with Islam. Ciccolo has a history of mental illness and his arrest has raised questions of entrapment Since the FBI effectively armed him, then charged him with having guns. While he's accused of plotting terrorist attacks, the only charge against him is illegal gun possession." Wait a minute! Wait a minute! He's only charged with illegal weapon possession? Not with terrorist... Yeah because it was a bulletproof... They couldn't pull that one off so they made him buy some guns from them and then bust it

34:16 For the new listeners among us, I think we should just briefly explain the six-week cycle which came about when one of our producers who has ties to the FBI. We'll just leave it at ties said told us me directly, we need these six week events every six weeks in order to stay relevant in order to continue our budgets to come through, we need to show that the FBI is doing good work. And subsequently they get these patsies who are...I think this guy was also mentally ill." Yeah! That's your easy picket line? Find some guy who is mentally ill and done this before. It's so sad. There was a bunch of examples of this

34:59 Well, there's only examples of this. Remember those guys that were total retards? The dummies in the warehouse who are gonna blow up the country! I got the retards in the warehouse! Yeah, the retards in the warehouse... We're gonna blow da place up yeah, I'm gonna blow it up. The whole country, I'm going to blow it up. How we gonna do it? I think we just do it." They just had nothing and so they busted these idiots. It was pathetic Alright, so the shooter was some guy... I thought that they took him alive but I guess he didn't. No well here's what... I mean I was watching the video and where the guy was shooting through the door of the glass

35:45 And where they got him is like clear on the other side of the compound. And supposedly he crashed through this gate with his car, there's not a scratch on the front... I don't know how that works but that's where they killed him where-where his car was ditched And there's not a shell casing, not a shell casing marking anywhere. There are markings on the other side where he shot apparently... allegedly. Yeah, there were shells all over the place But not where they killed him! There was no shells, nothing I thought it went out in a blaze of glory with all this shooting and there is NOTHING So yeah you know this strange stuff as usual It's always strange stuff as usual so this guy is

36:28 If you look at the picture of him, he's a smart kid. And somehow he just turned into this maniac. Well depending on what drugs he was put on for his... I think there is some element to it because he was set off to go do this like a puppy dog, and off he went. And then he ended up killing five people. It turns out to be five now. But so there's no real analysis into it again as somebody else pointed out in a different podcast I've heard this...I'm starting to hear this more now and i'm glad nobody ever talks about the drugs

37:05 on any of these things. They never discuss the drugs and everybody's getting all drugged up, so you're getting a public that is very suggestible. And it can even be shantyx! You know? Could be. It could be shantyx. Did we actually take a look and see if we have any reports on what kind of... So here use- We have a number of...so what happens because there's no real...we don't know anything Well here's what I have apparently he had stopped taking his meds But what was he taking? They won't tell you. Maybe serotonin reuptake inhibitors are I'm sure is the main thing, that's what they give everybody. So-called SSRIs. Yeah SRIs and everybody's taken those and they're the worst drug in the world. Some people take them voluntarily Oh well according to The Washington Post

38:03 He told friends he had failed his company's drug test after smoking marijuana. Yeah, that'll do it! That's right. Must have been marijuana. Let's listen to these clips and this one clip is interesting. Let's try it... well actually they're both interesting. Play a shooter social media, because this is what everyone's trying to get on. They're trying to get on board on this idea and I have a comment about this bullcrap. Al-Qaeda or ISIS ideology you know exactly what those links are back to those organizations that is what we still have to figure out And Isis has specifically been asking people to target members of the US military right? That's right and Isis has been really much more successful at using social media and calling for Muslims globally to attack at home

38:50 not traveling to Afghanistan or Iraq or Syria, and targeting either law enforcement officials or members of the military. So in that sense certainly the initial appearance of this attack very much falls in line with what ISIS has been encouraging When you mentioned social media how cooperative have social media companies been in in

39:41 really how these organizations are getting their message out and in some ways communicating. So it is going to have to be a very cooperative effort between the technology community in the U.S., and abroad, and global counterterrorism officials." Yeah, that's pretty obvious what we're trying to achieve here. Yes, now here's the question that should be asked if these reporters are on the panel talking about this guy... First of all, what is...nobody ever asked this by the way. What is the main thoroughfare let's call it of social media that these people use for this sort of thing? It's Twitter. Twitter sells its pipe. Lock stock and barrel, a whole pipe. The fire hose I think is what it's called. Yeah, it's called the fire hose you can get the whole thing across numbers marketers buy. It's not cheap.

40:33 But you can get it, and you can afford it. And if you have these budgets for these counterterrorism budgets, you can easily afford...and the Library of Congress has it. They get it for free I believe. And so you could go there if you had to. So that's nothing that this companies are gonna give you that you can't get yourself and analyze yourself because these people that work at Twitter are not intelligence agents doing analysis. They don't do that. That's not what they do. Yeah, I also highly doubt that they're going to be looking around and passing on information. This is probably just a complete sharing agreement. It's bull crap argument. The federal government if they don't have the fire hose already they're nuts because this is all bull crap. Oh gee! Now there is the thing with the direct messaging that yeah okay maybe that's not on the fire hose...I don't know. But the direct messaging as we heard from the previous

41:27 was a director of cyber, the Cyber Command Director. He played it on Thursday. He said that they have no problem getting direct messages from Twitter. It's not encrypted and so I presume all they do is just ask Twitter and they hand it over. Right? So you would be...you'd have your real intelligence analysts going through the fire hose Or, wait a minute. Let's just put this...here's another one." Take the fire hose and you know they've already done this and give it to the NSA. They got all the gear so they can analyze and translate and find these guys on Twitter instantly. And then when they see them going to direct messaging, then they can go to Twitter and ask him to take, you know, can you give us these DMs? And they would hand him over like in like they do. John, are you telling me this is crap?

42:12 So what is this argument? Yes, it's total crap and nobody gets called out on it. This is nonsense! They already have all this stuff. What are they bitching about? Oh you know if they'd be more cooperative... If Twitter would just help us when they see as though anyone at Twitter reads Arabic It's bullcrap and it's annoying and nobody says anything. And it just except us except us well We do but you know how many people we have what support do we get for bringing? Nothing, we are here hashtag America near our hash tag target soon there you go They're just hashtag in it all right now Here's the second clip

42:55 This is shooter, whatever it says. If this was an ISIL inspired lone wolf attack It was just the kind authorities have been worried about Losers to lions. What? It's a sort of young individual who is looking for something cause greater than themselves This ideology is winning And we don't have the counter narrative out there. There is a message out there that we're not getting out there That's our it's an ideological war In this case, they were apparently few red flags Abdul Aziz only prior run-in with police occurred in April He was arrested on a charge of drunk driving and was to appear in court later this month and their

43:43 There are reports out tonight from the Associated Press that back in 2003, Abdulaziz applied to work for a nuclear power plant in Ohio. He was brought in temporarily while he did a background check. The company says he failed that background check. They're not indicating why that was." This is really a national health crisis what they're doing here on the news. This is making people sick! Of course. This is true, this is so crazy! Here's the unanswered question which again reporters falling down on the job and it's real obvious in this clip but no one I've seen this discussed before and no one brings this up if this guy is a big follower or preoccupied or has anything to do with Islam and he wants to be a martyr you know have all these virgins or whatever his motive really were

44:38 How is he a drinker? Oh, I didn't realize that. Of course! Of course he's not a drinker He wouldn't be a drinker so why would get busted for drunk driving? It's bullcrap! This is nonsense! He's not a Muslim fundamentalist if he's drunk driving I mean, who are we kidding with these reports? Was he driving drunk and watching porn on his iPhone at the same time? The porn part. But probably from the looks of them... Now, I caught an interview with one of his classmates, this was Andrea Mitchell who was asking the questions, who is a true elitist married to

45:17 Greenspan? Greenspan. Former chairman of the Fed and she really, I loved how she was really trying to push this poor girl into a corner with the guns thing then even the girl goes what are you saying and Andrea Mitchell tries it again Were guns a big part of activity social or other activity? What about guns did he hunt did he shoot I love this. Oh, if you use a gun to hunt then you're dangerous now? Maybe even more! Was that just part of small town Tennessee activity? That's right Hicks Rednecks Andrea. Not your elites over there in New York City and your fancy Big Apple no we rednecks here We hunt squirrels and eat them. It is probably part of our small-town Tennessee culture here Actually he wasn't one of the guys that i ever heard about

46:12 He wasn't really that kind of guy, but he also didn't really tell a lot of people about his personal life. I don't think very many people knew much about him. Funny, funny note came through the transom. This is and we're just going to presume it's true. I think it would come over the transom. It's not through what's over the transom? Yeah, it's not through the transom. Over the transom. Khalif Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi that's our Baghdadi man or a guy he has sent out of a red dash alpha message in two parts to all... Before you before you I want you to read this before you do that finally somebody mentioned his Chechnyan

47:02 Baghdadi yeah surprises me not okay. He sent out a note to all affiliates And no he said we are very concerned about the videos that you were producing and Let me see here. installing limits on what you can do in your videos, your beheading videos including showing full beheadings. Please follow the format simply limit the video to showing the slitting of the throat and then the severed head after which is exactly what the bogus videos have always been if you look at any of the official quote-unquote beheading videos You never see the head cut off it fades to black when the knife kind of goes and then you see the photoshopped head on the guy's back later on

48:06 So I think what's happening is Rita Katz or the Site Intelligence Group, whoever. They're worried that these nut jobs—because of course they are real beheadings! But they're really gruesome and they're not produced well. You know, they don't... And they are creepy! They don't speak to the imagination of people who have grown up with Hollywood version of death Right? The idea is you want to frighten people. You don't want him get so upset that he wants to kill you Yeah, that would be so wrong Yeah, that won't work So now we sent out a message please keep to format of no actually showing any beheading

48:44 Perfect. Please limit your graphic violence What kind of beheading guy is this? This is bullcrap, this is a you know again I was watching Max Keiser Oh haven't watched max in a long time Did he have something good actually quite funny but he's he makes his comey says He just out of the blue. He says well we all know that Isis is Run by the CIA and the CIA is run by the Fed Good old Max. Yeah, I buy it. I'm in on that. Now with all of this happening with ISIS in America, ladies and gentlemen they are here hashtag in America hashtag soon hashtag they're killing your soldiers they're killing your soldier's families we are here to kill you to kill you Wesley Clark had a very now Wesley Clark was he at one point the commander of NATO?

49:43 I think he was. I think so too. I'll look it up. Wesley Clark, very famous for being all in on the original plan... with the what we call the Wes Clark Sevens and actually play that for a second. This is after the Gulf War started, was this after Desert Storm I think started? No, I'm sorry. After 9-11. He was running for office right after 9-11. And this is just before the Bush II war in Iraq. Right and here is what he said happened So I came back to see him a few weeks later And by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, are we still going to war with Iraq? He said oh it's worse than that! He reached over on his desk and picked up a piece of paper and he said I just got this down from upstairs meeting the Secretary of Defense office today This is a memo that describes how we're gonna take out seven countries

50:37 in five years, starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon Libya Somalia Sudan and finishing off Iran. And we're getting pretty close to doing all of that We have all of them on the list including Lebanon which is now also in Yes he was the supreme allied commander of Europe for NATO Starfleet command So Wesley Clark has a theory, I think almost more recommendation as to what we should be doing here in America with our potential ISIS terrorists. And it really brings together a whole bunch of things finally we know what is going on. Generally you know a lot of people would say you reap what you sow so how do we fix self-radicalized lone wolves domestically? He said whoops!

51:25 So how do we fix self-radicalized lone wolves domestically? What a dick. Lone wolfs. Well, we've got to identify the people who are most likely to be radicalized and we've got to cut this off at the beginning There are always a certain number of young people who are alienated. They don't get a job, they lost their girlfriend, their family doesn't feel happy here... I love this! Wait a minute, I don't have a job, I lost my girlfriend, my family doesn't...I should go kill some people, I should be a lone wolf now! And we can watch the signs of that and there are members in our community who will reach out to those people and bring them back in and encourage them to look at their blessings here

52:10 But I do think on a national policy level, we need to look at what self-radicalization means. Because we are at war with this group of terrorists. They do have an ideology in World War II if someone supported Nazi Germany at the expense of the United States well We didn't say that was freedom of speech. Yeah, when we put him in a camp they were prisoners of war so if these people are FEMA camps.

53:06 Well, they gotta do something with those camps. FEMA camp! Now we finally know what the FEMA camp is for... To lock up the lone wolves. The lone wolves? Now remember my earlier clip where this guy was a sheriff or one of the law enforcement guys going on and on about oh okay you know they have a bear he's I wish actually you're gonna have to play that again because there's something he says there which one is just the first one that says cooperation Cooperation? Shooter, social media. Oh yeah, social media. I'll tell you where to stop it. Al Qaeda or ISIS ideology. You know exactly what those links are back to those organizations that is what we still have to figure out and Isis has specifically been asking people to target members of the US military right That's right and Isis has been really much more successful at using social media and calling for Muslims globally to attack

53:58 at home, not traveling to Afghanistan. I'm getting a little tired of it to be honest about it. And this one guy, the same guy goes on to talk about how they're so good their argument is so compelling that it turns people and we have no counter-argument. We have nothing that you know... Here's your choices, you go out and kill a cop or

54:40 Or you don't. I mean, there's no...you know it's...and if you kill a cop it's good because we said it is and the other side is that we don't give a crap one way or the other, we don't care." It's just nonsense and this alienation that Wesley Clark talks about, and if you take it to the base logic, it's because the schools…I blame the education system. We're really taught in a lot of ways to disrespect our own country. Oh, continuously. We suck! We stink! We're racist we hate gays Coke Brothers. We hate gays and we are racists. COKE BROTHERS!!! We're last behind all the countries in education were losers. We're losers. Yeah yeah so so a kid comes out he can't get job loses girlfriend as this guy says which is you know I could say that happens to everybody of course

55:38 But they, you know... It doesn't mean you have to go kill people. And they don't see that there's any benefits attributed to their environment All they see is it was because their environment, they lost their growth. Things aren't bad enough in this crummy country that we're taught to hate." Let's take a look at... Oh and I lost my girlfriend probably because of this crummy country and then I'd lost my job cause this crappy country can't get me work. By the way there's an argument to be had for that part of it but that's another story. And they say well let me go kill a few Marines! That'll show up. That'll fix it?

56:17 Yeah. This is a problem that's the little deeper... Well, I'm seeing some evidence of really how ISIS-ISIL-IS advertising whatever you want to call it plays out and actually it's something that I caught last week there was based on the ISIS attack in Tunisia but the president issued a memorandum And I'm starting to see, you know...whereas we had Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda the brand got tired. It was too tied to Bin Laden and there were too many guys that were aging it didn't look scary and really needed to have a new boogeyman. ISIS, ISIL which haven't even really branded properly works so well just confuse everybody with even what it's called

57:10 I think it took off too fast. Well, now it's being implemented using ISIS-ISIL to sell war stuff and to get people all jacked up so here is the memorandum for the Secretary of State subject designation of the Republic of Tunisia as a major non NATO ally And the president says, consistent with the authority vested in me as President by Section 517 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. As amended I hereby designate the Republic of Tunisia as a major non-NATO ally of the United States for the purposes of the act and this is the key Arms Export Control Act and what this means

57:52 Because I had to look it up. You see, here we go... This is a major non-NATO ally. Here's the explanation of what that means and you know and i'm just a diss jockey It's not that hard to look this stuff up. Major Non-nato allies defined in section 644 the foreign assistance act It means a country that is designated in accordance with Section 517, that's the one the President mentioned of the Foreign Assistance Act 1961. There is a major non-NATO ally for purposes of the Foreign Assistance Act and the Arms Control Act. The following countries are designated as major non NATO allies then you get a couple of them which Tunisia was not one and the reason why there's a cap on what we can send to countries unless they're on this list

58:35 And the cap is $60 million, which of course is shit. $60 million... That's today's world. It's nothing. One bomb! It's completely nothing. So in order to qualify for assistance above and beyond these 60 million dollars that's why you have to be designated a non- NATO ally and so we send in some goons yeah shoot up a couple of Brits it's they're expendable you know have you ever seen a Brit on the beach? Come on You're blinded by him. That's right! The guy probably had to wear night vision goggles, no actually that would blind him so you know we get an attack and then all of a sudden we're selling stuff to Tunisia with this little switcheroo of the law. Hey gotta sell sell sell yeah And that's really what it comes down to you know NATO all the NATO countries have to be at their 2%

59:32 2% of GDP that they're spending. Now the Saudis arrested 431 ISIS suspects, yeah I'll bet the last thing they want is to have some kind of attack on their turf and then we come in don't worry! We'll take care of it Team Obama, Team America here so it's becoming quite the thing It's pretty funny. Yeah, well I don't know if it's funny Well it's not funny that these guys are getting killed just as collateral damage is terrible right? Of course, there was somebody that pointed this out. And of course I think it was a right-wing talk show guy who first pointed out says why don't these you got a Marine recruiting office bunch of Marines in there and they're forbidden to wear firearms? Yeah, maybe half of these events have taken places There's an element of forbidden to wear firearms to protect yourself

1:00:27 And with the word out, oh God we got high alert. High alert everybody! When did that actually start? Didn't it start during this... You'd think that we would arm these guys who were at places that would be obvious targets. When did that start? I don't know. The gun-free zones... Gun free zones no guns in the... No guns on an army base Was that after the... Even though they're known targets. Was that after the Fort Hood shooting No, the Fort Hood shooting was a no-firearm thing. Let's see... And people were bitching about it then and you think by now they'd be I mean if the guy is a Marine veteran of 15 years he's in a recruiting office He knows how to handle a firearm He can wear one They had security guards at his joint that got guns I don't know if they've got bullets but they've got guns So there's just beyond me This happened during the Clinton era?

1:01:23 Probably with army regulations as an army regulation quote forbidding military personnel from carrying their personal firearms on base So this happened a long time ago, and it's not a law. It's an army regulation so that's all the Armed Services it came down from Congress or some more the Secretary of Defense at some point yeah now we can't have guns You're a soldier trained Do they think that everybody that they've trained is trigger happy? They did such a crappy job of training. Is that what they're saying? I don't understand. That's what the message is to me Well, we sent them through basic training and we do such a crappy job How crazy is it- We can't trust him with a gun In Texas I can carry a revolver on my belt into Whole Foods under the open carry law but When was the last time somebody shot up at Whole Foods A place that deserves to be shot Amen fist bump

1:02:25 Yeah, please shoot some people at Whole Foods Meanwhile John McCain is although he did come out there was some stuff going on with Trump which you can talk about but he is really working on this let's see it's a Senate bill. It is 1735 I believe and it changes the acquisition provision to, let me see. Here it is... shifts milestone decision authority for major acquisition programs that means buying big stuff that kills brown people in sandy areas from the office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition Technology and Logistics to the military service acquisition executives so you take it out of this committee and you give it to the buyers directly

1:03:19 What? Yeah. So major acquisition... Have you the sellers that are giving it to the sellers? No, but it's the acquisition operation. You're doing them. Yeah so currently is at the Office of Undersecretary Defense for Acquisition Technology and Logistics which I think has committee and then that's a whole process. Right, it has oversight. And now they're sending it to the military service acquisition executives. Which has no oversight. See, I think it has zero oversight. We're talking about defense department that can't be audited Even though the new guy coming in, the Marine that's going to take over the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He says, ah, auditing is priority one. Yeah right? We're still waiting for the Pentagon audit. It's not gonna happen! They can't do it there's too many days beyond you know it's like... Was it not September 10th? It's like having here's your best analogy You've got a terabyte drive and you've been loading stuff on it for the last ten years

1:04:12 Now you have to go through the terabyte drive and take all the duplicate files out by hand. Would you think that's even possible? No, um... You'll recall September 10th 2001 I believe it was Rumsfeld who said yeah we're missing two trillion dollars We can't really find it Right then there was 9-11 the next day Yeah and all of the records were crushed in uh... Building 7 how coincident what a coincidence So McCain's on that. I wouldn't mind talking about the Donald Trump-McCain fracas. I wish I had a clip of it! Well, you see he was in an interview... Here's how it started. McCain actually started in an interview making real trouble and he said let me see I have a quote here hmm and I wish I wish he had

1:05:14 We had this on audio. Trump... Yeah, because these media guys we should point out to everyone that these media reports are so twisted they love to take stuff out of context and make a story out it well the thing is McCain actually started this he actually I wouldn't be surprised he's a troublemaker yeah he actually started he said Donald Trump's comments on immigration have quote fired up the crazies in the Republican Party And you know, oh actually this sounds like- there is audio apparently. Let me see I just found something that just came in if i download this real quick hold on we might be able to play this um ooh nice hold on a sec John it just came in I was looking for this okay hot off the wires here we go what he did was fired up the crazies which means you know religious people

1:06:10 You know, it's an insult. Yeah! You fired up the crazies. Second Amendment folks... Republicans so you're all crazy and then I will say that what Donald Trump came back and said was interesting he said look John McCain is a douchebag, I'm paraphrasing because that would have been really funny if you had said that. And he said, you know, John McCain not necessarily a hero like other soldiers And when you look into McCain, the war hero... Now he was held hostage in prison of war for I think five or six years. I believe his last in this class or close to it. But he has admitted himself that he told the his cap doors if you take me to hospital right now, I'll give you military information. He's on record as saying this. I don't know this. Yeah oh yeah Oh yeah Well I'd like to hear it

1:07:13 I have a couple of links in the show notes, some reputable like The Guardian and Washington Post. Now whether he did that or not? I don't know but he's on record as saying that what all this brings to the forefront is... well first of all here's Trump, I have him He said something funny, he's always saying something funny about This is really off topic here talking about money that he has given to politicians, he's supported Hillary Clinton in the past when she was running for senator. And he lays it out in such an eloquent way... I've been dealing with politicians all my life! I deal with politicians on both sides In fact, I get criticized because I give to Democrats, I give to Republicans, I'm giving millions to each. You kind of dismiss them all as losers

1:08:10 I think politicians are all talk, no action. Nobody knows politicians better than I do. For instance, I give it to everybody. Everybody loves me. You know? They all love me. I get criticized for that. They say oh you gave money... Well, you know, i'm a businessman. I owe it to him. I owe it to my family. I owe it to my company and my employees. I run a great company and I built a great company. I have some of the greatest real estate assets. Forget this! I have some of the greatest real estate assets in the world And, you know, like um..I get along with everybody

1:08:46 You have to be able to do that if you're president. And you have to be able to get along with Congress." He's saying, he's saying a lot of things that make sense and of course if you follow the Facebooks which I do... It's just one- I have a lot of friends, I mean Facebook friends but people I know in real life from MTV back in the day and you know who is all in on this stuff. The disparaging comments they are making about Trump it shows they are really afraid of him You know, we just have to take this guy down. Just call him out as a dick and a douchebag and a racist and a hater and anything they can't worse a Republican And so these are of course the people who were all in on Bernie I'm Bernie Sanders. Oh Bernie's a phenomenon. I told you yeah, I have a couple of emails that I'd like to read from first one here from

1:09:41 Let's see, XYZ. Adam I'm part of the lazy millennial generation looking for a handout suckling the teat when state offers one to me? I am worthless brainwashed iPhone zombie scum! In many ways I am Bernie Sanders target audience The first and last time I voted was 2008. I felt like such an idiot for doing it, all of us were taken for saps and that was humiliating you already know who i voted for this is true by the way the millennials do feel that Obama they got gypsum during occupy wall street I became an anarchist Now I'm not sure what I am now since every ideology feels like bullcrap. There's exceptions for everything. Ah good, this guy is getting a clue! I had no intention of voting in 2016 and was going to watch these A-holes tear each other to pieces on television. I hate Hillary Clinton, I hate politicians in general...I don't hate Bernie Sanders though, I really like him so now I'm not only voting, I'm volunteering

1:10:36 The fact that this guy has been shat on and marginalized and is independent for decades gives him credibility. I personally would prefer to see billionaires face the guillotine, but i'll settle for taxing them when they beg for mercy then taxing them again for twice as much." He promises that and I have little doubt it will follow through free college health care and a living wage sounds great too oh yeah and a muzzle on asshole cops did I mention I hate cops? This is how the millennials think. They've been brought up this way, only one small generation my friends where my mom told me you can always find it if you're in trouble or need help always find a cop now that millennial has been raised to hate cops and in some cases with good reason but certainly not across the board

1:11:16 His strategy clearly involves torches and pitchforks at the end of the day. He knows they're going to do everything they can to stop him, his power is going to come from the bottom up people power possibly riot power this guy is dangerous I wouldn't rule out riots I remember when Obama brought in every Wall Street executive to the White House and said, you know we're the only thing standing between you and the pitchforks right? Then immediately began grinding down the teeth of that question to a nub. What a pussy! He should have made real threats waited one day for them to cooperate and then started taking scalps. Bottom line here is that i'd like to live in a country where people don't feel like shit all the time. I'm tired of people being scared by fascist propaganda. I'm tired of listening to my friends complaining about working their asses off and still barely scraping by

1:11:57 Do I think Bernie will be the answer to our ills? Hell no. We have to do this ourselves, it's the idea of what he stands for that we're voting for It's a coin toss really whether it'll hurt or help the cause for him to be assassinated by some random yobo You know there are people out there who were seriously considering it if he gets anywhere close to nomination. Anyway, this is a way moodier letter than I expected. I'm just so sick of being cynical of everything but hey that's Millennials for you! Anyway don't be surprised if we start throwing rocks. Hail Apple love your show XYZ and then Bernie was at...he spoke at an event what was this? It was an event that was being disrupted continuously

1:12:40 by the Black Lives Matter people. And, you know, Bernie is a moron I didn't record all of this stuff where he said, oh, I was told that we'll get to 14 minutes to talk and back and go away. He was completely moronic about it but his opening line even spoke to me. We all don't thank you very much for inviting me. Thank you. Okay? We've got some serious things to talk about We don't have a whole lot of time, so what I'd like to do is just chat for awhile. Stop and we're going to do a little bit of discussion? Yes please go ahead Here's the serious issue...we live in- we live in a nation In which to a significant degree media is controlled by large multinational corporations. We live in a nation in which 95%

1:13:42 of talk radio is right-wing, including in areas where Republicans have almost no support. We live in a nation in which conservative Republicans own their own television network." I guess he's talking about Fox, which as we know is owned by the Democrats. But okay Bernie will we understand the facade? The work that many of you do in terms of blogging and on the internet is extraordinarily important because you are presenting an analysis of what goes on in America and a vision of where we should go that corporate media does not present. And I thank you very much for that." He's talking about us, John! We provide the analysis so... Yeah, I don't think he knows who we are Well it would be very important if The No Agenda Show endorsed him but we will not make our endorsements known until were a little bit closer Well i won't endorse them Another email from Jimson

1:14:45 Hey, John C. Dvorak is on to something! I'm 24 and very Democrat and every Democrat i know under the age of 35 is all in on Bernie they quote him discuss his events tune into watch him on YouTube uploads of Bill Maher Liz Warren was talked about briefly but they've all gone pro-Bernie lately They hate Hillary Clinton there's that same recurring theme and riff against her along with the conservatives whenever they can. The big sticking point seems to be that she is a known liar to my age group because we all remember her social views changing throughout our lives. Millennials are particularly irked by her views on gays To most of us, the gay issue isn't an issue so Hillary being on both sides of it—and Obama but they're less likely to throw him under the bus—is blatantly dishonest and exploitative Another millennial perspective Most people I talk to joke about moving to Canada if the race goes Bush-against-Clinton

1:15:36 I don't know how... then there's, okay. Then there's just so much stuff. Well let's hope my thesis is correct for these folks. Well i have a few clips of your thesis that would be Elizabeth Warren And she spoke at the... And Hillary's just getting a huge war chest together so she can give it to Warren. So Warren will stay off the Clinton Foundation's back for the duration. So Elizabeth Warren spoke at the 2015 Netroots Nation which happened, I guess just this past week. Did you see her speech? No. Okay. I did and I watched the whole thing... I will add to my no with, I've seen her speech but not that one they're all the same but go on. Right and this is without a doubt, this is a presidential speech. But here's what well there's a lot of things that bother me about her

1:16:32 One of them is she believes so in her superstar status. She loves it, she comes on stage and she's like woo! She just loves it. She's president already. Oh and then you know she's talking about all the changes in America listen to this. This is family. What? I said she's going to be insufferable Sure he is. Oh, it's she is so annoying So annoying but let's just listen to what she thinks about how great we're doing this is Just listen to it and I'll interrupt where appropriate This is family

1:17:10 Good morning, Netroots Nation. This is family! This is family! This is a disgusting operation go on Why is it a disgusting operation? Because it just oozes this kind of faux liberal creepiness that just bugs me to no end Agreed It's creepy Who runs that outfit did we have we ever looked into that That's some...that's a good question while you're playing this I'll look Good morning, you know I was getting ready this morning and it occurred to me It has been exactly five years since my first Netroots Nation. Golly! Five years. Golly! Golly five years. Who gives a crap?

1:17:53 Then it's so in the golly and everyone is like, okay. So much change. Oh so much change John What do you think the changes in our country? What has our president of our Democratic President brought what change has he brought? Terrorism. Terrorism to Texas! So much progress, so much progress we have a new consumer agency that has forced banks to return more than 10 billion dollars directly to people they cheated Did you get any of that money? This is bullcrap, they gave it to the government Yeah and they gave it just to states and they spent it on hookers whatever I didn't get any of that

1:18:35 Yeah! See, because that's what she did right? She was like yeah I fucking rock bitches. Equal marriage in every state in the union. Okay hold on a second why do you have to do a gay yell That's uncalled for that just shows you how phony she is equal marriage Equal marriage in every state in the Union Now she's- that's her Oh God. Insane! She's so... oh man, that's you know I'm telling you the people happiest when at that point they would use that against her That whoop Well they're gonna use something like a Howard Dean whoop Howard Dean yell I can probably ISO it see if we can use it but it's so is you know It goes right along with

1:19:34 Well, the people happiest about equality in marriage at a federal level United States. They're not gay The people who are the happiest and who whoop it up all the time? They're not gay No, excuse me You're all wrong. Once you get married once you sign that piece of paper That's when the love goes out the door Elizabeth this is I speak from experience Love loses comprehensive health care reform all across this country. We're getting there! We're getting there, and it sucks that the premiums are going up but we're getting there. It's goin' up and goin' up. Medicaid is gonna kill all of the states but okay yeah woo we're gettin' there What else? What other great achievements do we have John? Now we've mentioned...wooo! The uh High speed rail Confederate flags coming down Woooo! Confederate change my friends Change is upon us

1:20:39 Oh, here's one. This is a laundry list of all the stereotype Democrat progressive wins. Her whole speech is America is progressive I'm a progressive America is progressive. Your ticket will be progressive. And by the way, Ned Roots is like major man, he led me to board of directors The whole board of directors is like, for example, the executive director of Progressive Congress. Darcy Berner who's on the board she's also the executive director of progressivecongress.org and she's a honorary chair of the More & Better Democrats PAC

1:21:15 Council for a Livable World's Peace PAC. Oh yeah, by the way I would like to mention if you look at Elizabeth Warren's campaign...we'll talk about it in a minute who was financing her campaign or just financing her in general but let's find us we have money you didn't get ten billion dollars which went to the states and the state spent however they want. You didn't get a nickel. We had gay marriage then we had Confederate flag Then we had, well health care kind of getting there working on it. Don't talk too much about that Confederate flag and then... That guy who was senator from Massachusetts five years ago now sends around shirtless pictures of himself and sells diet pills seriously Alex Jones was Senator from Massachusetts? I'm confused Look it up! It's real look at up is real

1:22:15 Okay, okay. That's a lot of change Wow especially yeah that's wow we are on changed point tip Now, she does something which I'm happy she did it because now she's opened herself up for all kinds of ridicule. And you know what? I have always been a supporter of the target not for her politics but just as a human being and anyone who wants to run for public office deserves some credit and she does something so low

1:22:52 I'm happy she did it because now she herself is open to ridicule and of course, I will be happy to ridicule her personal traits the way she looks the way she walks the way she talks everything because of this one clip. Along with raising the minimum wage social security climate change marriage equality Wall Street reform It was a very long list but if you weren't with us in Detroit don't worry Sarah Palin did a fascinating line-by-line analysis of the whole thing on YouTube. Deep! Because she's stupid, she's stupid Well I would like to have something a little more solid than that Well let's talk about Donald Trump then Let's see what she says about him What do you think he has to say about Donald Trump? He is an idiot The Democrat main meme is he's a clown

1:23:48 Oh, okay. And it sure as heck shouldn't take poll numbers to unite us in our determination to build a future for all of our children! That's right Now look, House Republicans may still want to fly the Confederate flag and Republican leaders may cower in the shadow of Donald Trump. I think she just said he's a racist. That is pretty much what she just said. Well I wish...I would like to have Netroots explain why they have all white faces on their board of directors

1:24:26 But the American people understand that black lives matter and America is not a country that stands for racism, bigotry or hatred. Yes! I reiterate... Yeah where's the black people on your board? Where are the black people on your board?! Or brown people or yellow people or green people or anything Definitely no Asians. Well yeah I'm just gonna say you're right there's nothing but blacks Yep yep yep yep yep I rock I kick ass. All right, and then the final one here this was a...I didn't get the she was much she did it a lot more than the 2014 speech he did in fact actually recorded a whole bunch of

1:25:13 Of clips first was from the 2014 speech. I couldn't believe my holly god Oh, by the way just look at the staff and net roots mm-hmm not a black not a black face like face no Asians Yeah Racist group yeah racist it didn't justice just like Hollywood With the Academy Awards no black people little sexist too they get like you know six women and three men I think oh well there you go The women they don't like to schwarz's you know when the insiders are so far out of sync with the American people how can they keep calling the shots? How do they keep the game rigged? I'll tell you a big part of it is money. You said it right, money! Money for campaigns, money for PACs

1:25:58 But money for so much more. Money to hire armies of lobbyists and lawyers, money for PR firms and trade associations to sell a message, money for think tanks to give the cover of respectability for genuinely ugly ideas money that flows like a river through Washington, money that rushes everywhere sweeping along as much as it can and threatening to drown anything or anyone that gets in its way. Yeah let's take a look at who has been sending money to her according to OpenSecrets.org Harvard University of course right up there because she is so outspoken about the federal loans student loans

1:26:46 So, of course they want to get in on the good side and make sure that she does support loans. MIT of course, Boston University...she's got all of the all of the top universities here. Then she has Massachusetts General Hospital, University of California... Oh and then Brown-Rudney! The University of California again? They gave a million dollars to Obama they call me up all the time and they stopped calling the last time they called it was which is awhile ago I said i would be glad to give you money to support the alumni association or whoever it was somebody usually had freshman girl But if you can give Obama $1 million for why, you don't need my money.

1:27:29 And the girl says... They don't. No, they don't! Obviously you don't need my 10 bucks or whatever they're looking for and so the girl says to me yeah I know what you mean. She hangs up on every cold sense Well what i thought was interesting is if look at in her top ten of donors we have Brown Rudnik Ropes & Gray and Thornton Noms these are three of the most successful and biggest antitrust law firms that defend banks when it comes to antitrust and other shenanigans. So they are supporting her directly, she should rescind this! She should send the money back! And she doesn't but no one ever looks into this stuff. Also Mince Levin

1:28:17 What else do we have here? Berger, Montauk, Brigham and McCutcheon. These are all lobbyists! She's taking money from lobbyists... she just a chill but what's interesting if you took Warren and Sanders together together with their message they are pretty much George Carlin I have the clip from George Carlin where he talks about the game is rigged about the money You want to hear it? There's a reason for this, there is the reason education sucks and it is the same reason that will never ever be fixed. It's never gonna get any better don't look for it Be happy with what you got because the owners of this country don't want that I'm talking about real owners now The real owners! The big wealthy business interests to control things and make all important decisions Forget the politicians Politicians are put there to give you idea that you have freedom of choice

1:29:18 You don't. You have no choice, you have owners they own you They own everything! They own all the important land... They own and control the corporations.. They've long since bought and paid for the Senate The Congress, the State Houses, the City Halls, they got the judges in their back pockets And they own all of the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information that you get to hear They got ya by the balls!! They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying Lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want! They want more for themselves and less for everybody else but I'll tell you what they don't want... They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well-informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. That's against their interest.

1:30:08 They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they're getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don't want that, you know what they want? They want obedient workers! Obedient workers People who are just smart enough to run their machines and do their paperwork And just dumb enough To passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay The longer hours to reduce benefits, the end of overtime... ...and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it They're coming for your social security money. They want your fucking retirement money, they want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street and you know something? They'll get it! They'll get it all from ya sooner or later cause they own this fucking place It's a big club and YOU AIN'T IN IT

1:30:55 You and I are not in the big club. By the way, it's the same big club they used to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe All day long beating you over the head in their media telling you what to believe What to think and what to buy The table is tilted folks The game is rigged And nobody seems to notice Nobody seems to care Good, honest hard-working people. White collar blue collar doesn't matter what color shirt you have on good honest hard working people continue These are people of modest means Continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don't give a fuck about them They don't give a fuck about you they don't give a fuck about you they don't care about you at all At all! At All! Yeah... You know?

1:31:40 And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. That's what the owners count on The fact that Americans will probably remain wilfully ignorant of the big red white and blue dick that is being jammed up their assholes every day Because the owners in this country know the truth It's called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it Alright Yeah, that's pretty much what they're gonna pitch Yeah They're both phonies Phony balonies phony baloneys to both of them. Big, phony baloney's yeah! So I got a letter this is an interesting one it said anonymous but this is the anonymous donor that sent a check

1:32:19 It says here's another donation, it's a hundred bucks. Reflecting upon the Rachel Dolezal, do you remember her? Oh yes! The black woman...the white black woman. White Black Woman story which went away overnight that story just disintegrated. This is off the wall and when I read it said yeah that's a good one. I believe that this was publicized to to lay the groundwork for Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign. It was to introduce the concept of the transracial person, uh, to the American public. Elizabeth Warren is an Indian! We all remember Warren's dubious claim of being a Native American. Pocahontas, Pocahontas Warren. Pocahontas. Which we've dropped...you should pick that back up

1:33:12 My theory is that this, he goes on with saying this is just a test run. That's why it got so much publicity because in most instances who cares? Right right. Here some woman wearing a little too much makeup and yeah this sounds like a good one but you know this all leads up to Elizabeth Warren I agree and they had signs professional signs that said Run Liz Run and they have chanting going on. Run Liz Run. And she's going to be a disaster. She'll be the worst president ever and it will cause, it would right in the throes of economic downturns. She won't know what to do about it. She is just gonna try all these socialists... Now Bernie is an independent correct? Yes but he's running as a democrat Oh could we not have a Warren Sanders ticket No she's a democrat

1:34:01 And what is he? A Democrat. Right, so couldn't they... Oh you mean one of them vice presidents? Yeah VP exactly! Well she would have to be the president because there's no way she'd know woman anymore is gonna run for vice president and so she made that clear. He'd be the vice-president. That actually being good right I don't know what else she could pick who also should pick for a vice president Joe? No, the bosses will come in. The bosses of the Democrat party and the CIA they'll come in there and they'll have a meeting with her and say look you can't run yeah You can't run with this guy's vice president we need to get a little more variety in here so that they're gonna make or pick some I don't know probably

1:34:48 Latino from New Mexico. How about, no? How about one of the Castro brothers from Texas? Oh those guys are great! Yeah one of those guys would be perfect and I think one of them's already been kind of pre-vetted as a potential VP hasn't he? Raul I think role. Yeah, that would be a good ticket. That'd be good one. I mean, good. Whatever the Republicans put up there are going to win so it doesn't make any difference. I'm happy Donald Trump is still in the race if he's still on just on the on-the-he's gonna bc some surprises that had in the polls not everyone is predicting all well you know it's because this was a i read really by ideas and then your time as a funny article describing him has been a media darling and it's only immediate bump that he's got his net these high numbers as the most popular uh... you know them highest

1:35:43 poll numbers. He knows how to do it, he said but this guy claims is just the media once the media gets tired of him which they never will that's the joke of it but once they get tired from his numbers will fall and fall and fall. He's at his peak the guy from The New York Times claims he's had his peak right now okay I don't think so either nothing you're just getting started well I love listening to my love watching my thing it's hilarious Yeah, people if they don't like Trump they don't have a sense of humor. Exactly! He's a clown! You recall the president was he sang Amazing Grace at the AME church? Poorly yes. Look at that grace! If we can tap that grace everything can change. Amazing Grace. Amazing Grace. Sing it brother!

1:36:46 Mm-hmm. Yeah, I hear that. Amazing Grace! All right. Valerie Jarrett was at the Aspen Institute and she spoke about this now you'll recall that the way I deconstructed this... This was set up way in advance they flubbed it because he started talking about amazing grace and the band started playing and he didn't sing. He pointed us out of the whole thing with the cues off The cue is off And so I said, this was all pre-planned. He knew exactly what he was going to do and here is Valerie Jarrett the true president of the United States confirming what I said. So there's a little history about the President and singing. The first time he sang those of you might remember he came out and he sang a little Al Green

1:37:35 And it went over amazingly. I think people didn't know he had such a good voice Well, i will confess to you that i was the voice backstage when he was being egged on by the electrical engineers who were doing the sound work for uh...the show Does she mean during rehearsals or something like that? Probably right? During the- Yeah Go on Mr. Puddin' sing, sing. And I said don't sing! Don't sing please whatever you do don't sing and of course he sang and it went over very well so as we were on our way in the helicopter... I love it we were on a way in the helicopter because I sit in that helicopter to Andrews' the morning of the service we were talking about this speech and the first lady hadn't read this speech yet and so he said when I get to the second part

1:38:22 referring to Amazing Grace, I think I might sing. So that's where the miscue came from it was well known he was going to sing in the second part and then somehow someone cued the band incorrectly And he looked at me like don't say don't sing because you saw what happened last time you said that and so i said hmmm and so the first lady said why on earth would that fit in? And so we started to explain and he said I don't know whether I'm gonna do but I just want to warn you two That I might sing And he said, we'll see how it feels at the time. And from the first time he started to speak,

1:38:59 Yeah, you take your time. Mr President and yeah that's right and slow down And I feel you know all the things that you get in a black church And so he knew they were with him and so those of you watched it You probably saw that He paused for a minute right before he sang So later I said to him were you thinking about whether or not to sing? He said oh no I knew I was gonna sing I was just trying to figure out which key to sing That's right So full of themselves there. They speak so well themselves, so full of them. Aspen Institute is one for you. All right? That's where Walter Isaacson that the operation he runs while writing these huge books constantly. How does it do it? I don't know people got time sorry. I said people got time they get time to have more hours in the day than I do. No kidding no kidding probably staffed at Langley help

1:40:00 And we need a staff at Langley. We can get a lot more work done." A lot of people wrote in about our Caitlyn Jenner theorem, that we believe this is bogus and it's just being set up as part of manipulating the media and the public. But check this out from Radar Online regarding the ESPN awards. I'll read this verbatim, ESPN has come under fire for awarding Caitlyn Jenner the prestigious Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs Wednesday night but Radar Online has learned it wasn't initially their idea according to an insider Jenner's reps approached the network that would be Kris Jenner

1:40:44 Suggesting she receive the award and offering PR plugs on her upcoming docuseries in return. Now, who owns ESPN John? Disney Okay, what else does Disney own? ABC. And where do we know ABC from who works at ABC? One of the operatives from the Obama administration. How about Diane Sawyer? So this whole thing was a whole setup they said, we'll give you ABC, Disney will give you everything and give the exclusive to Diane Sawyer but then we want the award from the ESPYs. This is brilliant!

1:41:20 This is really constantly. Yeah, but the public should be aware of this! Thank you for mentioning it. Yeah yeah it's a scam they gave the whole thing to Disney. Yeah Disney behind the whole thing They probably have a yes, it probably as a quid pro quo I'm sure he's gonna because this is really it's hard to say. Well, I mean the SPs did get a lot of attention and it was run instead of normally It gets run on ESPN but now was on ABC Of course got big play because they wanted like couldn't watch it was so boring And then I was watching this other thing, I don't know if I mentioned this but this guy was on a show. He was either on... No he was on Olbermann one of his buddies is a writer used to be a writer and Olbermann's been fired which you know he doesn't hold it up. What from ESPN?

1:42:11 Yeah, he works for ESPN but they got him buried on the ESPN too and you couldn't get any ratings. You have to really go out of your way to find him. But he has his friends on and they shoot the shit all the time. And this guy comes on who's I guess one of the writers for Letterman for a long time and did a lot of freelance work for the networks and used to write for the SPs until 1999 and apparently the espies which were just a minor thing they were no big deal. They always had these comedy writers in this show, apparently it was hilarious. Comedy writers? Yeah! He said it then all of a sudden in 1999 or 2000 especially when

1:42:48 Will Ferrell came on and did a bunch of material. And it was always about ribbing the athletes, which are people that could deserve you know good right? You know they're a good ribbing yes a good ribbing the powers that be at Disney decided you know we're tired of ridiculing the athletes with no more comedy and since 2000 there's been a serious show And if you watch it, it's boring. It's a terrible show anyway. So little anecdote there for you out there that wonders what what's going on behind the scenes your turn? Oh well I had something I just wanted to discuss. I was reading an article about Uber last night and how of course like it hate it whatever whatever the case

1:43:42 The taxi business was a crappy ass, shitty business that sucked balls around the world. And it's been completely disrupted by...it's actually a pretty simple concept. Forget... Ed Milewski Can I throw an anecdote in? My wife was in town for my daughter's birthday. We were hanging out and she went to after dinner we all went to dinner Jay, my son JC he likes...he works in the city in San Francisco and he knows all the bars. So you're gonna take Jay and everybody out bar hopping for a while." So I decide no it was the night before this show. No if you have a show to do you cannot go on. I gotta show to do. I have to go home not going out drinking right so I went home and Mimi had set it up so she didn't have to worry about driving so she took Uber back

1:44:31 And all she did was rave about Uber. Oh, this is so much better! It's not puke-all... Then she tells me stories about when she was in San Francisco with puked cars and shit. She says one time she was in the city and her friend said there's a floor sticky. She looks down, she's standing in puke. Nice. The cab driver says oh yeah I know you gotta... He didn't care. Right, so let's take that's the premise exactly now. Let's take uber and I'm just going to tell you that this whole ride-sharing part That's a huge bread herring and that's the piece of it is tossed throw away It's really about the

1:45:14 You know the uber x the black the excel there's a different have a whole bunch of different brands for it, but it's really about organizing professional drivers and of course bringing in some people who want to be a professional driver and you know and you have different levels that you have vehicle maintenance after that you have to adhere to then in some countries And some cities. You'll have to have a livery license So they're really doing something good which is is streamlining the process. Now, so I was thinking...here's a billion-dollar idea. John you want to write this down because it another thing we will not do? Okay. Another great idea. I got a special page for great ideas that we'll never do. Great ideas. Now, we have a lot of professionals in the field who are about to talk about who listen to this program and I'm just looking at the landscape and I'm thinking with all these individuals who being

1:46:04 They are being squeezed out of the system because they can't make money the way the new system was set up. I think it's time for an Uber for medical care, and hear me out on this. We have doctors we have nurses that either work for one of the big three health companies or you're pushed out with all the regulations...you're pushed out! Now what if? Because i think if you're a doctor you can practice as a doctor And if you have a medical need, you're licensed to practice. You're licensed and you have a medical need, you can look on the app find a doctor who's available nearby and then click and then they'll charge you normal prices. House calls? How you could do house calls. They will have very transparent pricing. Look sometimes you have to go in the hospital and things have to happen but we could even have clinics set up this way I'm telling you there is a market

1:47:00 for Uber, for medicine. For medical care... I think we should do this! What? We wouldn't have to do it for long because we'd get bought out by one of the big health operations that buys us out. This is a billion-dollar idea and you know because all you do is you say look I'm a nurse practitioner and nurse practitioner can administer things they're all over the place And, you know... but we could just have simple transparent pricing things that make sense. House calls if you want it might actually work! Well it's not that it's a simple process to set it up its kind of self-administers right? Alright I'm in Okay well I'll send over the paperwork later I'm gonna show my support by donating to KnowAgenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah that'd be fab

1:48:04 One second, J-HJH in the chat room. If you say it already exists and you put that in all caps and you keep repeating it would you please tell me what its called this app where it already exists? You douche knuckle! You in the chat room... you in the chatroom yeah alright let's thank a few people Trevor Owen in Los Angeles California 12345 he says this brings me a bit closer to knighthood Gmail that both John's emails through while you went on about the details of the mail. Can't believe John answered it, oh he calls me out of the blue

1:48:45 He says hello. I said yeah, yeah, who is this? I said who's this really? I hate it when people say the phone that's great And then as usual when anyone makes you right this happens to me about once every six months They realize that there's really nothing to talk about People always they come into town and like hey, I'm gonna be in town Thursday How about right after the show so first of all no No, I'm not gonna do anything after the show except sleep and wallow in my own crap. And then there'll be nothing to talk about. No, you have to...unless you find...we have found a few guys that are part of the show who are extreme like super techies or they've got something going on. Most people they're I don't know it's lot them get kind of starstruck and nobody should ever do that

1:49:44 Anyway, this is my thinking but so he calls and then he realizes there's nothing to talk about. He says okay well Thanks for talking Goodbye I will say the etiquette And sometimes they'll pick up the phone if it doesn't show that name therefore that number is not known in my database But sometimes you know pick it up and then now it's like hello. It was like is this Adam Curry? I'm like fuck you Who are you? Would you please- the etiquette is, hi I'm so and so may i please speak to Adam. Is this Adam Curry or fuck you! It's just it's so rude. It's usually a say of the sales guys. It's so rude. It's SO RUDE And they... uh who's this? Um looking for Adam Curry FUCK YOU Sorry Just that pisses me off Yeah he seemed like the cuss It's Terretz There was a cool guy with Terretz on the street the other day um then I tried to stop him

1:50:39 Because he had this cussing. He was one of those guys. But he's also waving his arms like, you'd look at him and go, Hey fuck! Hey fuck! And just wave his arm like a raptor. I turned around because he walked right by me but he was off. I wanted to say hey man it's cool man it's alright Do some more. I think it's social anxiety causes that breakout Oh, yeah. Yeah, I had that happen. I felt so bad for this guy I think I've told us on the show before but I was on an air flight in first class Yeah and some Tourette's guy comes on and he's like so at such a nervous wreck that he's dragging his rolling bag backwards

1:51:19 Jerking around I just jerking around bomb bomb bomb terrorists bomb he never did that but he kept you Just mumbling and saying stuff to do it awkward, and they took him off the plane I just felt bad for the guy. It was, and you guess it would have been annoying if it was a long flight but yeah no no it's just like a terrible situation but anyway let's go on now we did have a few people one two three four five six seven eight nine a total of nine well wishers oh this was for welcome back yeah welcome back

1:51:55 But first, let me also mention Sabine Trumpler who gave $99.99 and she's in Deutschland and she says thanks for all the work you do please send a birthday shout out and we have Samuel Butterix on the list and it's on the 19th. Well seeing as she is from Deutschland and did the 9er 9er 9er 9er I'm sure she wanted that Oh yes i am sure she did now that you mentioned it So lets start with the 74 dollar well wishers It was on the newsletter at PS number 1 which most people don't get to. That's why, by the way for people who read the newsletter I usually put a little donate to this show pitch at the beginning of the newsletter and it's because if you don't put it in the beginning most people won't read the whole newsletter. People won't read anything and so it has to be right at the top otherwise they just don't read it. I've noticed that if you don't do that nobody donates

1:52:50 Of course there are situations where they don't donate anyway. James Niemeyer in Tulsa, Oklahoma he's maybe right some profanities on there for some reason Brian Ferguson in Foothill Ranch California he says hello. Hello Michael Uhl, a-U-H-L in Atascadero California welcomes you back. Sir David Knight of the Yellow Rose in Norristown, Pennsylvania. And is he the one who found the lucky penny? No that's Michael. Sir Hank the Viscount of Queens who actually lives in Kew Gardens in New York City. Eric Hoff in Edmonton Alberta

1:53:36 He says he received a newsletter in both boxes. I don't know how that works, they only sent him one. Jason Daniels in Dallas Texas and Todd Voss in Davenport Iowa and then finally Robert Wood in Saginaw. We do have a note from Todd saying he's got a smoking hot milk wife. Thanks to the left this dedicated to no agenda and his wife.

All right here we have a this is an idiot in Congress Only one well he's one of the dumbest ones I've ever heard and you can tell why. He's a provincial moron. He sounds like a dummy His name is Buddy Carter so you Georgians out there must be proud of yourself to have a guy like Buddy Carter So your being your congressman from Savannah alright, so you're no better than

2:01:47 than making fun of the stupid Tennesseans. That's true, I'm no better than anybody. You've got to get that straight So here is the guy and the reason why i want to play this clip besides it being the stupidest questions I have ever heard And he has to admit certain things while he is discussing asking questions about the guy who was the chief head of US Marshal Service or being grilled in congress and this guys has a few things to say The reason I'm getting to this is that he represents the kind of thinking Congress has. So when...I've noticed this before, sometimes you travel and you come back from...and my mother was like this, why did you travel? What's wrong with this country?" Wow! Really?! I had a meeting in London. Your mom would say this? Yes. Why did you travel?

2:02:48 Yeah. John Charles, why did you travel? What's wrong with this country? Yeah! Wow... The Chinese are stealing all the toilet paper. Yeah that too. She may have been on to some of the toilet paper but let's play the idiot Buddy Carter. This will be number one at first. Just Idiot Buddy Carter It is my understanding that many countries assess a fee or tax if you will On airlines, whenever we have a passenger from the U.S. landing in their country... Is that true? You have to understand I've not traveled much In fact, I said before this committee yesterday that I've only been to two countries in my life And that was Texas and Mexico That's one more than I wanted to go too

2:03:39 But so I'm asking is that true? One more than I wanted to go to. This is not a guy who should be representing anybody. Well, he's a representative, so maybe he's representative of them. Georgia. No, Georgia. Play him out. So I'm asking you, is that true? Mr. Congressman, I'm not aware of that. Well this is the way I understand it and what I understand is that the airlines are having to absorb this fee because the federal air marshals don't compensate for it so whenever they are flying over there from when... It's my understanding that the airlines are having to absorb this fee and that's just something I need to understand, need to inquire about

2:04:25 I'll provide you a follow-up on that. Thank you. It was like $20 or something What's the problem? No, there's any fee at all Mmm bill into the ticket is there is a booty is he referring landing feet for they prove it now That's for the aircraft but I believe he's referring to the the passenger information database or something, that there may be some surcharge? I have no idea. And all I know is that what difference does it make if the air marshal gets in for free I mean, give me a break. This guy's a moron so let's play the second part where here's what situation occurred where I guess some air marshals had to go to a different airport and So they put him on the plane and they all end up in first class Supposedly it may not even be a true story because there was only seats that were available The way I see it but here's the way this guy talks about it

2:05:13 Can you provide to us how often your employees are flying first class and how often they're flying coach? I'll be quite honest, sir. I flew first-class one time and that was really not by choice That was the only seat they had available And I was with my family My three sons got into fighting about who's gonna sit in first class and finally I resolved it by sitting there myself So that was the only reason I was really fine First Class. I'm just wondering why the Air Marshals have gotten to fly First Class Okay. This is your representative of congressman! I have figured out the fee, and now i remember what it is. Once you... we have the open skies agreement all this and they added in a provision that when you are flying into Europe you have to have per passenger carbon fee surcharge guess how much this exorbitant fee is per person? What three dollars

2:06:11 Oh, well it's a shame that the air marshals aren't paying their own three bucks. And this guy couldn't...wait, hold on. Let me get this straight. Hold on one second. You while I'm doing these clips looked it up and found the fee of three bucks and this stupid congressman has to ask the guy he wants a special report? He wants to waste this guys time when he has his staff in his office in Washington DC that could have looked this up for him? What a douche this guy is. Buddy Carter, vote him out! Anyway I just get it's annoying to watch these you know you watch some of this stuff especially the lesser subcommittees on C-SPAN and there's guys like this crop up all the time Just a dummy Yeah yeah morons Morons There was...I didn't realize this but when i heard this clip or I read about this next clip ummm.... I was surprised

2:07:17 postings about this physicist Dr. Ivar Giaver, he's a Nobel Prize winner, Nobel prize-winning physicist and he was one of... looks like it's how many maybe 50 PhDs who put an advertisement In Time Magazine, after on November 19th President-elect Barack Obama said and I quote because this i'm looking at the PDF of the ad. I quote few challenges facing America in the world are more urgent than combating climate change The science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear

2:08:02 And their ad, and these are guys from let's say University of Alaska, University of Pennsylvania, Kansas British Natural Association, University of Oklahoma. These are all PhDs every single one is a PhD Their response at the time was... Of course I never even saw it you know climate change like kind of thinking about it back then Big bold letters with all due respect Mr President that is not true We, the undersigned scientists maintain that the case for alarm regarding climate change is grossly overstated. Surface temperature changes over the past century have been episodic and modest and there's been no net global warming for over a decade now after controlling for population growth and property values there has been no increase in damages from severe weather related events The computer models forecasting rapid temperature change

2:08:58 adjectly failed to explain recent climate behavior. Mr President, your characterization of the scientific facts regarding climate change and the degree of certainty in forming a scientific debate is simply incorrect." So what was interesting is this guy was speaking at a conference recently and all the global warming anti-global Mamma Global Warning or Climate Change standpoints or what would I, what's the word? I'm looking for. Positions. Position yes or the reason or position. Rationales. Rationales well he is going to tell us that climate change is bull crap but he does it in a way that I thought was...to me was just mind blown! So here is now when I worry about very much is the conference gonna be in Paris in November and and I really worry about that

2:09:56 Because the conference was in Copenhagen that almost became a disaster, but nothing got decided. But now I think people who are alarmists have very strong position and so the physical society always has made up their mind so I don't have to worry about them But the facts are that in the last 100 years or so we have measured, the temperature has gone up 0.8 degrees and everything in the world has gotten better." Yeah! Now you're talking! So he'll tell you how much better it's gotten...so point eight degrees almost one degree I believe he's talking Celsius centigrade then of course we've all were all worried about the two-degree increase

2:10:45 So he says, yes temperature has gone up the past 100 years by 0.8 degree and everything's just been better! See? So how can I say it's going to get worse when we have the evidence that if it is true that they can measure at least they believe it when a temperature goes up point eight degrees everything will live longer be have better work, better health, better everything If we go another 0.8 degrees, we're going to die I guess and I say this to Obama Excuse me Mr President but you are wrong See he is dead wrong And I said that once when I was part of an ad in a Time magazine And I said the same thing Because I think Obama is a clever person But he gets bad advice And global warming has all went

2:11:38 See, I would say that the global warming basically is a non-problem. Just leave it alone and take care of itself." Nobel Prize winning physicist! Well sure makes the wine in Okanagan Valley up in BC a lot better. Right? That's just one of many things... One of many other ones like German wines have improved substantially and everyone credits that to global warming. Fantastic Alright well that's good news. That's different way approaching it yeah I'm just going to guess that you want this.

2:12:29 You got some. What clip are you thinking of? Net neutrality. Oh yeah, this was a... I caught there was a discussion on one of the channels one of the cable channels and they use this as an example of the argument for taking doing something about you know by promoting net neutrality and I was just stunned because there was Molly Woods on NBC they asked her a question about all this net neutrality fuss and i listened to this and went oh there it is, there's your classic answer we wanted we...it's not broken let's fix it

2:13:04 This is more about preventing a problem than it is about fixing an existing problem for consumers? Absolutely. It's about saying, look there's every possibility of problems developing and we want to stop that before it happens and I think that's an absolutely fair thing to say. It's called pre-crime Molly! There's nothing wrong with the way the networks are operated but they could... something could happen, something bad can happen. Give it over to the FCC to ruin it yeah We'll get our podcasting license and we'll jump grandfathered in yeah, we'll jump through all the hoops for sure was that it was that your tech news Yeah, it was just a throwaway. I got 99 glitches It's

2:14:02 And put a goatee on there, will ya? The only good phone's the landline and the phone should be made out of Bakelite. There you go! Brief tech news but sometimes it just not enough to talk about so then we just make it very short would have been the shortest tech podcast that we're talking about to be honest about I thought you had something that I saw net neutrality I thought there was yeah no this is one of those I throw these occasional clips on the list Just add people don't realize how this show is actually produced, but you sometimes you put stuff done just on the off chance

2:14:39 It comes up in the car, and then you got them. You got the kicker and the other guy either him or me Adam or myself we go wow what a great clip to come off to prove my point Or just prove it right very rarely actually I did kind of have a Tech thing but i'll just mention here. I've been following the reddit saga with you know initially the woman who was... Ellen Powell. No, no the woman who managed all of the Ask Me Anythings and she got fired and then everyone freaked out. And now this whole conversation if you follow it has become women are targeted specifically on the internet. And this Ellen Powell was saying oh yes I mean

2:15:27 affected much more because I'm a woman and you know, the trolls are winning the battle for the internet. And it was all about the trolls always. It's all about the trolls and people don't understand that You do not have to deal with that. You don't have to use Twitter to publish. You don't have to use Facebook to publish. You don't have to use Reddit There's many other ways, you know... Get a WordPress blog. Learn some Linux. Yeah, get up and install some forum software. There are a million things you can do if these complaints are no good. And people always... I'm sorry? We were talking about this over the dinner table, JC and Jesse and whoever else was here

2:16:05 JC believes that she was brought in as a hatchet man, and this was all planned. Oh I totally agree! And so they brought her in let her become the hatchet man to straighten out Reddit so it could become an advertising vehicle since Condi Nasta owns it and become an advertising vehicle. And people didn't like it, of course! Like screw that... It's brand safe. Has to be brand safe, yep So you get rid of all these things let everyone blow themselves up and get rid of the one woman who is having a lot to do with this success

2:16:42 And then Ellen, then you let things start to die. You know, people are starting to bail out so then you fire as planned Ellen Powell. She was always interim she was always there temporary. Yeah she's always in the interim and so they fire her and everyone says oh! They got rid of that evil witch we can all go back now that whole thing is set up for advertising right? This is the corrupt the corruption of advertising. And people are losing their collective shit like you didn't know this was going to happen? Seriously, please stupid! You don't have to do that we don't use anybody...we have our own stuff set up. We have people volunteering and VoidZero running everything for us very cost effective thank goodness

2:17:31 Yes, you can run your own email nations Well this is that you don't need your own and by the way if people want me to stop moaning and groaning about Nazi donations It's easy fix. You know what to do yeah exactly the war act org slash na I think I forgot to mention that exactly Yeah, I think we are the modern media postmodern Postmodern. We're the postmodern media! Yeah, we don't have a studio No Well we have separate studios but there are personal studios Spare bedroom is what I got spare bed Personal studios not big deal My daughter when she stays over has to sleep underneath the studio desk Oh that's a shame That's what it is Well that where you sleep never mind No no that was the last marriage I got used to sleeping on the couch and so I kind of enjoy it But the thing is

2:18:25 people have to...we had this with the lock on distribution, where we had literal gatekeepers who determined what would go where. Now that that has fallen by the wayside there are all these new models and ways of making it happen now We're never going to be rich off of this show Never ever ever at a million dollars We will die before we ever even come close to getting or when say hey! That's working out well But that's okay. That, to me is the new economy. Trailblazers? Well yeah, well trailblazers always get burned, heh? But in the new models, and I just got Vonda Shepard's new CD. You know? I helped her fund her studio session. She had a nice little note you know me um...I like her she is good artist and she couldn't get it uh...a label to do anything if he says he did a kickstarter fine then i got this thing yesterday about empty my mailbox hey what does this mean cdnc you have two adam thanks for the support hope you enjoy your written on the cd cover love bondage effort

2:19:25 And, you know, she's not going to get rich off of that but she is able to make what you want her product and, you know, she can sustain herself. So we're sustaining... It's her name out there. Of course! Yeah and we're sustaining where we were hobbling along in this case hobbling for sure. We got the ugly sticks out. We are hobbling for sure today so keep please bottom line continue to prove that this works or other people can do it I don't think we can end the show without talking briefly about Iran. Well, I've got a couple things... You got some backgrounders? Well, I didn't get a backgrounder. We know what's going on and everyone has the background most of it but there was one little tidbit that I thought was entertaining and you know the guy thats with Kerry is that character with the long hair, the physicist... Yeah, the Mufant The Mufant guy. I can't remember his name offhand. Doesn't matter, he's the Mufant Guy

2:20:24 He they were standing all the people from Russia and everyone that was involved in these talks We would make it sound like we did everything then these negotiations, and he was there with carries carry side guy Yeah, he's his wingman the guy if he's five foot tall. It's a miracle Oh man, he's also short He's unbelievably sure it's not even short. Well, let me tell you I find because of his shortcomings and his wacky hair I find him interesting he this is a very smart guy It's very smart. Here's how smart he is. What is the name of this clip? Iran deal and wine cellar? Yes, listen to this little story.

2:21:19 I thought of his love for Mr. Spock, which he has expressed logic and science the White House is coming really hard with the science on this deal trying to make it seem as though there's really no counter-argument at all and that drives opponents crazy by the way What about the science of the deal guys? Science! There is a reason that Ernie Moniz, the former head of physics at MIT and now the energy secretary was brought to this deal Because there was a second negotiation going on that in some ways was more fascinating than the one between Secretary Kerry and Minister Javad Zarif, the Iranian foreign minister. And that was between Moniz and his counterpart—his Iranian counterpart who also went to MIT as a student—and that conversation was an effort to depoliticize the issue

2:22:07 by coming up with technical solutions to what was essentially a political problem. And they managed to do it! much of it down in the wine cellar of the Coburg Palace Hotel, which was down so deep in the rocks at this old site that the Iranians began to call it Fordo. Which is the name of their underground nuclear enrichment center. How many bottles of wine were down there? 60 thousand. I don't think any of them were consumed during this negotiation though let's not give people the wrong idea It did look like a dungeon and we were told definitively there is no wine in Fordo

2:22:43 But there was plenty of radioactive material, which all has got to come out under this agreement. But the idea here was take the politics out. The problem is that when this goes to Congress if your vision of what the deal is going to be was take apart all of Iran's nuclear facilities dismantle everything There's nothing that Ernest Moniz can say to you that you're gonna like Huh What a great gig. I bet you Moniz knows all about it too, i bet he's an aficionado. I bet he really knows his wine. I bet he does! Doesn't he seem like a guy that would know what's going on? Yeah yeah nice... He does has all the earmarks. Nice one nice one so if i understand properly or correctly this is more of the believe in the science you know your new religion is science and you'll believe anything as long as we have some scientific

2:23:36 theory that goes along with it. The Republicans are pretty immune to that because they know how there's been... They're being hoodwinked, yeah. ...as bull crap? Yes yes But you know this deal I've looked it over as best I can and haven't really read the document from page... Uh but I have some things to say about it. I just don't see is that bad of a deal that these guys are all bent out of shape, like they're gonna...we're going to be at World War III in a week. Well it will commence the rubble-ization of the Middle East will commence with this deal and all I mean the money that's going to be made on selling arms into Iran is crazy! It was another great sales job. That's what we want to do yeah of course

2:24:16 So, that's opening up and we know... What is anybody against that? Well I also think that the $100 billion, there's not leaving the United States. I'm sure there's an addendum or some rider to this agreement. Somewhere is going to be another exhibit, there has got to be something that says the $100 billion dollars we've frozen will be unfrozen but you have to spend it on defense companies in the United States. It has to be! That was a deal I would make. And, of course it's like a catch-22 because the administration can't say well you know we're really just going to be selling a bunch of stuff that kills brown people to Iran. But at the same time they also would really like to counter the we're giving them $100 billion dollars I think the deal is great give it us! You know? It's what we do. I'm not happy with it but its what we do. We make war stuff

2:25:15 Look at all of our vehicles. Look at everything we have is, you know...is a derivative of the military-industrial complex." So this belief in science and I don't know if this is true but I have a couple of... Howard Baetjer She says what's the science of the deal? David Kramer Here we go so The American Psychological Association will in their upcoming journal, which is to be released in early August according to reports of I don't know for sure will publish the results of a study and I shall read the executive summary as reported by multiple outlets. This is a study...a five-year study by the APA, The American Psychological Association

2:26:00 According to the APA, a strong and passionate belief in a deity or higher power to the point where it impairs one's ability to make conscientious decisions about common sense matters will now be classified as a mental illness. Dr. Lillian Andrews, professor of psychology stated quote every year thousands of people die after refusing life-saving treatment on religious grounds even when being told quote you will die without this treatment and quote patients reject the idea and believe that their God will save them those lives could be saved simply by classifying those people as mentally unfit for decision making

2:26:39 And it's true, Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusions even if they're dying. I mean...I don't understand why we're going to... Well the Christian science is the one that's most notorious for that For what? Refusing these sorts of treatments. Oh okay. Christian Science But this would be very interesting if the APA is going to Sorry you're now nuts! We can do whatever we want That's Do you really think that's gonna happen? Oh, are you kidding me course this is so wrong. It was just a sit You know this part of the fascist Way of doing things yeah

2:27:23 Yeah, completely. We don't have time... It goes like this it goes you know we don't have time for this nonsense yeah? We're going to treat you whether you like it or not as a mental patient well being in California now you have the that is now mandatory all children who want to attend school and for homeschooling must have their vaccinations. Homeschooling! And Jim Carrey wrote You must be kicked out of the house for not having a vaccine wait what they're gonna come in and check Jim Carrey wrote a long op-ed on this and he says you cannot mandate the American people to do this if there is any doubt about the safety of any vaccine. And, of course, he has to start off his entire

2:28:08 op-ed with, hey hold on a second you know I want to make very clear that all four vaccines the ones that are proven to work but you know the ones that are not safe or have question and i think every vaccine has questionable safety there's always a margin of people who react adversely. But now in California what is it SB... what is it called? And he goes into a little bit of no agenda deconstruction. He says here, this... the pharmaceutical industry's web of influence doesn't end in Washington or Sacramento. This trillion dollar industry perhaps has its greatest reach in Atlanta where the Center for Disease Control is located and where the revolving door spins in perpetuity take Julie Gerberding for example who spent nearly a decade as the director of CDC then left to head the vaccine department at Merck Yeah okay well say goodbye to your career Jim

2:29:09 What's left of it. Now they're going to screw this guy into the ground, feels sad. Doesn't take much! Anyway so back to Iran Wendy Sherman who I'm increasingly liking she is the undersecretary for what is she? I think she's Under Secretary State I like her because she looks kind of similar type of person as a Fifi Lagarde. It's kind of that kind, you know what I mean? Okay So you see now, you'll know it's Wendy Sherman and there is some discrepancy right now There is some shuffling going on to get

2:29:48 this deal done and I just want to give people, producers a breakdown because you know people will follow whatever they're hearing on the news and it's like well the Republicans they're gonna block it Republicans. So tell you what the rules are and how its work out works in what I think is going to be done here is Wendy Sherman discussing getting this through. Are you willing to hold off at the UN on the resolution that encompasses disagreement? until Congress has had its vote? What would be the impact if you were to?" Well, the way that the UN Security Council resolution is structured there is an interim period. So what is happening here is instead of sending this directly to the Senate which is where it should go and everyone's talking about The Congress or Congress they're going to do a UN Security Council vote

2:30:38 which then will be deemed as binding. Well, the way that the UN Security Council resolution is structured there is an interim period of 60 to 90 days that I think will accommodate the congressional review And it would have been a little difficult when all of the members of the P5 plus one wanted to go to The United Nations to get an endorsement of this since that it is a product of the United Nations process For us to say well, excuse me the world you should wait for the United States Congress So what we worked out is a process that allows this time and space for the congressional review before It takes effect

2:31:20 And there may be other legislatures who also want to look at this. So it anticipates that there is a period of review while, at the same time allowing the international community to speak. So little bit of fancy footwork there and just so you know what the actual law is this Article 2 Section 2 Clause 2 easy to remember. You can rattle that off anybody well according to article two section two clause too the president shall have power by and with the advice and consent of the senate to make treaties provided two-thirds of the senators present concur." So I looked at all the different permutations of that, and the advice and consent is a part of what is known as the treaty clause. And so this... The literal meaning of this is that you have to take advice from the Senate

2:32:15 And two-thirds of the Senate has to approve this message, which I believe will be difficult just on political grounds. The Republicans of course will block this so what they're trying to do now is have the president...I can tell you what's going to happen because i think Roosevelt did this If you can't get the two-thirds vote that you need from Senate, then you can just issue an executive order for the term of your presidency which then gives you more room to try and go get the votes. And I think that's what's going to happen but it's going to be sold to the American public as the world, the international community in the form of the United Nations Security Council

2:32:58 says, yes this is a good deal. Oh really? We're gonna have everyone go America the world will wait for you and so that's how they're going to shepherd it through and a future president could unwind that that's why they're not going to call it a treaty but a treaty by its definition last you know can can last into the next presidency and you know it's not something you can just change easily with an executive order I think you're going to see an executive order approving the deal so that more fighting can take place and more disparaging of people who dissent. Republicans! It always boils down to the Republicans, that's what it is

2:33:40 That's what it is. Well, I don't... But but I find it discouraging to hear people talking about Congress voting and they don't even know what the people don't even know what's in this in the one document you can reference. Well played by Kerry when he was doing his interview on one of these networks, I think it was the NewsHour with Judy. And he said these people are moaning and groaning they have not even read this thing and this is the way Congress operates! And then we course see things like the 10th...I mean there's only 170 pages i believe It's not like a ten thousand page you know after we pass that you can read

2:34:20 Kind of stuff that goes on in Congress. This is a very dysfunctional operation this whole thing Yeah, they have to read it and then I don't know I just don't I have not heard a good argument except Hysteria you hear it from John McCain You here from Lindsey Graham? Oh, you can't trust them there And although Kerry and everybody else has said the following which is that you don't have to trust them we have a schedule of things that We do and then did the facts Allow us to to continue. It's got nothing do with trust There's no trust involved in this entire thing, right? You can't trust them They're gonna screw us again Obama's they're gonna terrorize as a you know And I don't understand exactly what

2:35:02 McCain and Lindsey Graham, and these other guys are waiting for a bigger under the table payment from the defense industry because they're the ones that are gonna benefit from this. And you think these guys are all in on getting them more money? Maybe it's just a scam. I mean there is some evidence that McCain is already in on this deal." Oh especially with procurement...of course he is! So they're just gonna posture. Okay, well anyway I think it's enough we don't need to talk about this anymore. All right anything? I would want to play an end of show clip which is the if you and in the show notes today i'll have four clips only want to play one of this great party at The White House for The Library Of Congress Gershwin Award honoring Sir Paul McCartney

2:35:51 And I thought the Jerry Seinfeld piece, and put it like a two-minute clip of his... Didn't you play that in the last show? No. I said it—I played Paul McCartney singing Michelle and then I said we would play it on today's show. Then I said do you want to hear Jerry Seinfeld? You said yes! I said no, I'll save it for Sunday. Oh okay. Does that make any sense? And what else? Do you have anything else that you want to... Oh, I mean we do probably have to get the Greek thing out of the way. We do have a couple clips on one because we're falling behind on that. Good. Play these are pretty short. This was kind of long but their other ones are shorter

2:36:32 Play the Greek part one, Democracy Now!, and then I'll cut it off if it's going the wrong way. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is facing protests from members of his own Sadisa party after accepting harsh austerity measures in exchange for a new international ban. out. In order for the deal to move forward, the Greek parliament must accept pension cuts and other reforms by Wednesday—10 days after voters rejected similar reforms in a referendum. After European leaders pressed Greece to accept the austerity package, the hashtag ThisIsACoup trended on social media. I do. OK? So let's go right to the last clip, because there is something in this clip which we've been sitting on that I thought was interesting. This is the rundown—now we've played this with a kicker. Welcome to Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. I'm Amy Goodman. Greece and its European creditors have reached a deal that will force Greece to accept sweeping German-backed austerity measures in order to receive a third bailout and remain in the eurozone.

2:37:36 Provided the Greek Parliament accepts the terms, the deal paves the way for a three-year bailout worth up to $96 billion. After European leaders pressed Greece to accept an austerity package seen as amounting to a surrender of its fiscal sovereignty, the hashtag ThisIsACoup trended on social media. Talks continued overnight until Greece agreed to immediately implement measures, including pension reform and the privatization of its energy transmission network. The deal comes after— Yeah, we did play this. OK. So that we got the Greek thing out of the way? I just wanted a description. Well, the Greeks are math we have not played, I don't think.

2:38:17 That's not gonna... I think you played that too. It's a bogus clip? Got nothing to do with math! Alright, well- Okay, I got it. I do have a funny clip Hey John that would be.. You know that was really bad what you just did Yeah i know But it was short, it wasn't long I almost want to cut it out Just edit that out That was the worst thing ever I mean, I've done stuff like this before Okay, I gotta make up for it here This is the FIFA Mafia Clip Are you sure we haven't heard—I think we've played this one, too. No! Yeah? The first of seven FIFA officials being held in Switzerland on corruption charges has been extradited to the United States. This morning's extradition follows the beginning of Senate hearings yesterday to investigate the corruption scandal that has thrown the world soccer governing body into turmoil. On Wednesday, senators questioned how much U.S. soccer officials knew about the corruption and demanded an overhaul of the global organization.

2:39:13 Senator Richard Blumenthal compared FIFA to the mafia. The fact of the matter is that what has been revealed so far is a mafia-style crime syndicate in charge of this sport. My only hesitation and using that term, it's almost insulting to the Mafia because the Mafia would never have been so blatant overt and arrogant. I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here! Yes. You're winning sir. Oh thank you very much Well we know that this is all because we didn't get those games go into Cutter Yep And it sends a message The message is you can be a criminal but don't try to outsm- Don't screw us Yeah yeah and where's that reporting? I dunno mystifies me Alright

2:40:11 All right wrap it. I'm wrapping up all right a bend of show clip will be Jerry Seinfeld making fun of Paul McCartney which is pretty decent and of course you didn't see this anyway? I don't know why I don't know why anyone does even broadcasting this there's so much good material So just a little uplifting thing to take you into the final stages of your weekend Are you doing twit today no okay good? Well, I'm glad there was no tech news No, I noticed yeah Coming to you from FEMA region 6 here in the capital of the drone star states In downtown Austin the crackpot condo in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley Where I must still waiting for those July 4th attacks by the way. I'm John C Dvorak Don't hold your breath because I'd like to see it back on Thursday where we will return right here on no agenda

2:41:28 Sir Paul, you have written some of the most beautiful music ever heard by humans in this world. It's my favorite music that I've ever heard in my life. I love you for it and yet some of the lyrics and some of the songs as they go by can make one unsure even concerned sometimes about what exactly is happening in this song? Songs such as I Saw Her Standing There And I quote She was just 17 You know what I mean I'm not sure i do know what you mean sir Paul. I think I know what you mean getting better from Sergeant Pepper again quoting, I used to be cruel to my woman I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved nice same woman by any chance? I'm kidding of course and uh I can because Paul and I have gotten to know each other a little bit over the years that's how I got this gig

2:42:35 But what makes him the unparalleled artist that he is, is that the world has also gotten to know him through his unforgettable music. We followed your life story in the beginning a young man who said I want to hold your hand all my loving I feel fine please please me A little self-involved but what the hell You're in show business good looking guy thin why not Then marriage and family, and it changed a little. Now it was about the long and winding road." Oh my God! Penny Lane just glad to be out of the house getting her hair cut. Fixing a hole where the rain gets in? These are husband lyrics ladies and gentlemen And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong or right This is an argument More husband songs followed like Get Back Help and of course Would You Just Let It Be

2:43:35 No, no, no. No, no, no. Hey! If you were given 30 seconds to deliver a message to a global terrorist, what would you say?
