1:56:12 Yeah, well what happened to it never happened right? Now, as backdrop to this...and I'm gonna be pulling more clips from this one-hour conversation. There she is again and I really despise when this happens the Aspen Institute. What is Aspen Institute? Is this just a think tank or what do they do? This is Walter Isaacson's operation. Tell me about it. Now, Walter Isaacson who we've talked about on the show who wrote Steve Jobs' book then he wrote another book shortly thereafter somehow I don't know how this guy runs and I said this I noticed before you find these writers who are incredibly productive. I don't know how they do it because he's also running the Aspen Institute and that they have all these guys come in seems rather spooky to me. Well this is a big douchebag conference with a bunch of elites, a lot of them in homeland security at Etiquetera
1:57:05 And they...and Andrea Mitchell is the moderator. I do not agree that it's good practice, or disagree with the practice of news reporters and anchors and recognized journalists if you can call Andrea Mitchell that because she's married to Alan Greenspan so she's an elite Moderating this, she's hanging out with them. Just hanging out. Ooh it's so lovely to be a part of this. I'm guessing she's getting at least 25 grand? Oh maybe more! Maybe more...
1:57:42 Maybe more. I don't think it's worth more, but she could be getting more yes It's possible this is a this is how you put This is how the meat one of the ways the media has bought off and This is kind of the first coming out as far as I'm concerned of my fee The Speakers Bureau set my fee I can't help I can't give you discount. This is the coming out as it were of the country singer Loretta Lynch who was moonlighting as our Attorney General And just to stop, I'm just...I didn't even have to clip it. Well, I removed a little bit of the thank yous and the blowjobs they both gave to other people in the audience because it was just too long and boring but this is the first question out of the gate and when she- well you obviously can't hear because you can't see it When she finishes asking the question She-and they both have hand mics which I feel was a faux pas on part of the production Because it's very awkward Uh, for- They wouldn't get the prints What?
1:58:43 You can get a full handprint. You can put them... You grab the mic and you swap it out for another mic, and then they get new prints from someone else. And you can unlock her iPhone! Love it! Great idea! We should try this! That's the only reason he'd use them... I'm wearing gloves from now on whenever I use a hand mic. You should! Or before you grab the mic pull out one of those little plastic things. I'm gonna do this at my induction into the podcasting hall of fame. Pull out one of those plastic little restaurant gloves or scrub gloves. Scrub gloves yeah, and then snap it Before I touch the mic, which is going to drop anyway. So John very handy tip another espionage tip from your no agenda show nice. All right but then when after Andrea asked the question she kind of points the mic at you know like a
1:59:39 You go like it was scripted, which of course it is. Oh you okay good spot. And you know just tilting the mic towards her like get your mic took it's your turn well general lynch you can see how excited this extraordinary do you get to be called general if you're attorney general? Is that the deal I don't know we've noticed something crazy like that before I think maybe like five or six years ago saw someone doing this I guess so Well, she should wear a uniform then. Yeah, she gets some ribbons and some fruit salad going baby. Well General Lynch you can see how excited this extraordinary crowd is let me start out by asking you what do you see as the greatest
2:00:26 Threat to the homeland from terrorism. The Homeland Sieg Heil Andrea! The Homeland What is a bunch of Nazis who talk that way? How about America, our country the United States Booyah No, the Homeland With regards to the most serious threat To the homeland from terror Maybe the homeland is Israel maybe we're just not interpreting this properly Who knows what they mean by the homeland The homeland is usually refers to, I always found it strange that they brought this into the conversation but maybe they refer...I mean the homeland to me always means like you know you have a diaspora number of people that left
2:01:11 some area, they were forced out. And they've always been wanting to return to their homeland where they all came from years...hundreds of years ago and they want a return. That's the me what a homeland is not like someplace you know it's not Berkeley. That's why I said Israel maybe we're just misinterpreting Who knows? It could all be code. We don't know if it closed the show. Threat to the homeland from terrorism With regards to the most serious threat, to the homeland from terror I think we certainly have seen the emergence of different terrorist groups I think the greatest threat overall, frankly is the fact that the terror threat is morphing. It's fracturing and morphing John write it down. It's expanding beyond the old school Al Qaeda and its offshoots. I can just see some guy going what the fuck nigga? What? I'm a old school? Al Qaedas not old school we OG baby!
2:02:09 This, this old school. What is this talk of old school? General which are still viable organizations there's dangerous organizations we have made great inroads against Al Qaeda and its affiliates we have done well in the fight against al-qaeda frankly due to the job what does she know who a great deal of international cooperation Wait a minute, the Magrim? Doesn't she mean Magreb?
2:02:55 The McGrimm. She said McGrimm Is there such a thing as the McGrimm? Maybe I'm wrong... I don't know, I'm gonna look it up while you're playing that thing. The McGrimm, well hold on a second let me see what the... By the way if anyone wants to read about the Palantir CEO go to Valleywag Sam Biddle who's a very funny writer wrote a piece called Palantir CEO Sounds Completely Insane and it really goes- It's very interesting. That guy is insane he's a total elite crap head So I'm looking at McGrimm and I get uh Magrim is the overseer of the dwarven afterlife and first taught the dwarves how to communicate with their gods? I have magrim power review. It's a diet, The Magrim Diet maybe!
2:03:36 Magrim diet pills, magrim power slimming capsule. I think she misspoke She meant magreb but would Angela...Angela Mitchell Whatever Did Angela Mitchell catch her? I don't think so And morphine For example it used to be that an al-Qaeda splinter would stay in the Arabian Peninsula or in the magrim and It's like magrim is dwarf porn or something I dunno The magrim is complicated you would still know how they operated. And now we see the emergence of one of the most recent al-Qaeda splinters, ISIL which has grown to a degree and significantly changed the terror landscape and sort of opened it up for the independent contractors of terrorism. Oh, the independent contractors of terrorism! You know what that means?
2:04:28 It's got to be Wolfs, man. It's gotta be Wolfs. The Peninsula or in the Magrim. What an idiot! I'm sorry just what an idiot but there must be she must... There's something we're missing maybe we're wrong well chat room will find it for us oh no they won't you would still know how they operated and now we see the emergence of one of the most recent al-Qaeda splinters of ISIL which has grown to a degree and significantly changed the terror landscape opened it up for the independent contractors of terrorism, almost. Individuals who need not have a prior affiliation with ISIL but who can carry out acts of violence, acts of terror both Europe Asia and here unfortunately then claim attribution and if ISIL thinks that in fact it's
2:05:15 that advances their goals, they will adopt it also. So I would say that we certainly still see the backdrop of the groups we've been fighting for so long, the emergence of new groups and we don't know what's on the horizon quite frankly. So I think that the best way to characterize is the terror threat is still consistently of Splinting. Splinting? Say splintering or splinting Did she say splinting the last time I thought she said splinting maybe back it up Maybe I miss her Foreign terrorist organizations although we do have sadly domestic terrorists as well and the splinting and morphing of that is great concern They're broken limbs they need splintings She said splinting This must be this has got to be our MO We're gonna hear nothing but this stuff I love her
2:06:11 Yeah, she's gonna be great. I like her a lot! Happy to have you, Major General. Major General Sir? General Major? Whatever. Nice. Splinting in the Magrim. Perfect. So i guess we then look at some more Lone Wolf stuff. Woof! The Lone Wolfs...The Lafayettes shooting. Oh You know I didn't think there was this had anything to do with anything, and I still don't. I do have an interesting clip though... I have a clip that I would like to play Well you want to hear the Louisiana shooting just as little intro from PBS? Just- I have a little intro from ABC! I think your intro would work as well as mine Let me play yours let me see what's it's just a shorty A shorty and its called It's called Louisiana Shooting Oh that would make total sense okay
