About this episode

Hulk Hogan faces total erasure from the WWE Hall of Fame and digital archives following the leak of a transcript containing racial slurs. His attorney, David Houston, acknowledged the severe consequences of what he termed toxic speech, a phrase signaling a shift toward stricter hate speech enforcement in the United States and United Kingdom. This cultural purge coincides with a media landscape increasingly focused on policing language and narrative control across entertainment and politics.

In Washington, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell testified before the Senate regarding $500 million in federal funding for Planned Parenthood. Despite claims from White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest that undercover videos of fetal tissue harvesting were fraudulent, Burwell admitted to not viewing the footage while defending NIH research grants. Meanwhile, the FDA issued a high-priority warning to hospitals concerning Hospira Symbiq infusion pumps, which are reportedly vulnerable to remote dosage manipulation by hackers. This alert follows a massive 1.4 million vehicle recall by Fiat Chrysler after Wired magazine demonstrated a remote takeover of a Jeep.

Adam Curry accepted his induction into the Podcast Hall of Fame at the Omni Hotel in Fort Worth, publicly acknowledging Leo Laporte despite years of professional tension. The event, hosted by professional wrestler Colt Cabana, marked a professional milestone for the medium. Elsewhere, a private jet carrying relatives of Osama bin Laden crashed at Blackbushe Airport, and NASA engineers clarified that the Kepler satellite utilizes light meters rather than traditional cameras to identify potential exoplanets.

Iran Heat Index, Washington Post Global Warming Narrative

Reports of a 165-degree heat index in an Iranian city are criticized as sensationalist headlines designed to push global warming narratives. The Washington Post and British newspapers like The Independent are cited for using subjective "feels like" numbers rather than actual temperatures. Historical data from July 8, 2003, in Saudi Arabia is referenced to show that current heat index figures are not unprecedented.

00:00 Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak It's Sunday August 2nd 2015 time once again for your Gizmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 744 This is no agenda Jane Helm 15 plus 18 and counting once again in a blue moon. And broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star state here in FEMA region 6 in the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley where at least in this neck of the woods there is no golden dome... Oh! I'm sorry heat dome HEAT DOME! It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! Was this a Freudian slip?

00:37 Golden what? Golden dome. Oh, golden dome okay yes. Tribute to every bald guy listening to this show. Stupidest stupidest story that was just retweeted and copied the smart people here Molly Wood on Facebook post a link to this story and her comment is oh dot my dot God dot people It was 112 degrees. It happens in Texas all the time. Actually, we had some one of our listeners I guess in the area had the temperature at 91. What here? Where? In Iran Oh really

01:21 So this story got incredible legs, which really shows how people do not read. They just see a headline and oh boy I better retweet this! This is crazy must be global warming. What was the headline? 165 degrees? 164, 165... 90 degrees Celsius or something outrageous. Yeah Washington Post- And it was in The Independent It was in all these British newspapers But Washington Post John, Washington Post Here, headline. Iran city hit suffocating... Now they did it properly heat index of 165 degrees. It doesn't mean anything! Of course not! They say 90% humidity makes it feel like 165 but we have that in Texas all the time We don't speak of a heat dome? Heat index

02:11 And that's just a made-up number. This is becoming more, I think along with the global warming thing... this is becoming thematic and we first noticed it with the earthquake. Oh what do you mean? With the numbers on the earthquake? Yeah they stopped using the Richter scale and came up with this kind of vague numbering system. Yeah the numbering system which allows them to make the number much higher because the Richter scale is logarithmic so the difference between an 8 and a 9 is vast, vast. And this I think... The criteria is if stuff shakes off the wall you know then it's a 6. It's all

02:58 Subjective. Yeah, yeah. But it works! The Argus-Heathing is subjective. We have moved to a society of subjective analysis which is useless Yes yes it is I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say either, i just think it's an observation that can be made and everybody just all freaks out about the craziest stuff. Apparently Mimi is spending all her time on Facebook arguing about this particularly. Hopefully she saying its bull crap that would be... Oh no she spotted it as bull crap right away and found it was annoying when I found it almost insulting

03:41 These guys, they're tricky. The way they wrote these stories was designed to trick me." I'm just reading from the Washington Post and they go into a lot of depth and have got a lot of indented things which people don't read that although there are no official records 178 degrees 81 degrees Celsius is the highest known heat index ever attained which was observed in Daraan Saudi Arabia on July 8 2003 so it's not even a record for the heat index In 2003. Oh man, yeah it's sad. Well there was a couple of things because we do have a heat wave going on in the United States and there is one story that kind of got my attention which is the let's see what would be the title of this clip

Hot Car Child Deaths, ABC News Erica Hill

ABC News coverage of a New Jersey toddler rescued from a hot car highlights a national trend where 11 children have died in vehicles so far this year. The reporting style of Erica Hill is noted as she returns to network news with a new delivery style. The segment transitions from child safety warnings to a critique of hysterical news cycles regarding summer heat waves.

04:32 Oh, Saudi... it takes me a while. I'm gonna be slow today for some reason. Okay. Heatwave! All right heatwave shall we just play the clip or does it? I want to set it up. I thought this was very... again makes you really wonder about the general intelligence of the public That's your setup? Yeah, well it's programmed. And that gap... People are taking significantly more out of Social Security than they... excuse me, Medicare than they paid into it and I think that is not something people generally know Is this a hate wave? Oh no its not It's healthcare

05:12 I'm sorry. Hey, you think you're the only one that's slow today? In parts of Texas the heat index hit the century mark It's gonna be another hot day out there And nationwide parents are being reminded not to leave kids in parked cars After a New Jersey toddler was rescued this week He is one of the lucky ones So far this year 11 children have died after being left in hot cars York, the mercury again soared near 90 today. Not in story but for those outside nothing to mess with." Oh this is horrible! This is really setting it up. The thing that isn't even the story is that 11 kids have died because their parents are too stupid to take them out of the car? Apparently...

05:58 The dogs, that must be a... the dog level must be 100 dogs dead. They had this one story they showed that's rescuing some poor half-dead kid in Jersey and the mom sauntering up with a basket full of groceries. What is everyone doing? A million cops? Your kids died! All these women berating her. Oh man Well yeah, no it's a... there has been this last few days they're having especially ABC. I'm watching the weekend news and i see our friend Erica Hill is finally gotten a seat at the table Is she our friend? Why is she our friend do we know her? Yeah she's my friend She used to work in tech TV you've seen here We've talked about her Okay And she uh... Is she hot? Shes extreme... shes beautiful actually Alright searching now Oh! Woah! Uh... Hill Yunt

06:54 Yeah, she married another friend of mine David Yount and he I guess he manages her. She's come in and out of vogue at the networks and now it looks like she is back with a new delivery style which i think is better than what she was doing when she was at CBS But I was watching her news thing and it was pretty normal. And then went to ABC because I recorded all the different national news broadcasts to see what they do. Holy crap, these people on ABC have gone crazy! That's where that heat... Oh, we're all gonna die!

FDA Hospital Hack Warning, Fiat Chrysler Jeep Recall

The FDA issued a warning to hospitals regarding Hospira Symbiq infusion pumps, which are vulnerable to remote hacking that could modify medication dosages. This warning follows a voluntary recall of 1.4 million Fiat Chrysler vehicles after a demonstration showed hackers taking control of a Jeep. ABC News reporter Aditi Roy notes that while no specific attack prompted the FDA alert, the risk to internet-connected medical devices is considered a real possibility.

fda· hospira· fiat chrysler· jeep· cyber attack· aditi roy

07:32 And they had a couple of other things in there. What was the one, again if I was a little more on the right track? Here's the bullshit ABC tech analysis. Vulnerable to a cyber attack. The FDA warning hospitals be on alert for hackers. Here's ABC's Aditi Roy. Hospitals across the country receiving an unprecedented warning by the FDA tonight that a commonly used medical device may be at risk of getting hacked. Wait let me guess Will someone be demonstrating this again at Defcon the device? Hospiro symbiotic infusion pump is used to deliver medications like painkillers and cancer treatments to patients through an IV in its warning the FDA says

08:16 unauthorized user with malicious intent could access the pump remotely and modify the dosage it delivers. So every hospital should assume that its devices, if connected to the internet can be attacked and so this is important warning this is not an isolated incident. Pospira says it deployed an update to provide customers with an extra layer of security until the pump is completely off the market in a few months. move already in the works before this warning. This new worry over health care hacks comes just after Fiat Chrysler issued a voluntary recall of 1.4 million vehicles to install software to prevent hacking, a vulnerability seen in this demonstration video when hackers took control of this Jeep these two cases showing how the rewards of technology also come with risks

09:09 And the FDA says there was no specific hacking attempt that prompted this warning, but still says there's a very real possibility Cecilia. This could happen. Wait a minute, wait a minute! Nothing prompted this report? No That's great. Oh, that's fantastic. Well thank you for it You know someone could also walk up to it and just punch in the numbers is not that hard It's got a take a gun to your head and shoot it or smothered you with a pillow I mean anything's possible Yeah, this is what the ABC has been I watched a whole at the whole weekend news thing every story was hysterical Hysterical in the end of by having a female reporter You know screaming and worried sick about everything hysterical NBC money NBC had an exclusive when it comes to cyber John

Chinese Cyber Espionage Map, CISA Legislation Debate

NBC News obtained a classified NSA map showing nearly 700 targets of Chinese cyber espionage over five years, including trade secrets for drugs and hybrid cars. This intelligence leak is viewed as a push for the Cyber Information Sharing Act (CISA), which would incentivize private companies to share data with the Department of Homeland Security. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is actively opposing the bill due to privacy concerns.

nsa· china· cisa· cyber espionage· eff· department of homeland security

10:01 Exclusive there are new concerns this morning over cyber security here at home NBC News has exclusively obtained a US intelligence map highlighting nearly 700 public and private victims of Chinese cyber espionage. The US has been warning about how aggressively China is engaged in cyberspying here but a classified map obtained by NBC News dramatically shows how widespread it is prepared by the National Security Agency, the map shows a red dot for every successful solution by China over the past five years red dot nearly 700 and all against both government and private companies large and small among the targets such trade sequences formulas for popular drugs specifications for hybrid cars

10:47 Genetics of new productive food crops and the workings of both civilian and military air traffic control systems. The FBI says it's now investigating hundreds of cases of suspected Chinese espionage, that's 50% more than a year ago! It's making a big new push urging American companies to vastly improve their cyber defenses." Now this does have a reason John I think both stories have a reason as CISA. Yeah, CISA is up for debate this is and we have a lot of action EFF is trying to oppose this This is the Internet Sharing... what was the actual name of this? A Cyber Information Sharing Act which would incentivize companies to liberally share cyber threat indicators with the Department of Homeland Security

11:44 And this is very complicated, well it's not really complicated but it is putting the burden of finding terrorist activity on the providers of services themselves. Meaning that Facebook and Google and anybody else is expected to be on the lookout and pass on information Yeah, if you see something. Yes. I walked through the TSA lines again and there's the sign and i always have to think why don't they license our jingle? What was this? I went to Dallas at Fort Worth! Oh that's right you took a flight. I did it took a flight to uh to Fort Worth. And I have a couple of things to discuss about that or... Okay we'll get this out of the way and you can start discussing so what was the experience

CHAPTER 05 / 46 Discussion

Virgin America Flight Experience, Dallas Love Field

A flight on Virgin America to Dallas for the Podcast Movement conference is described as a "nightclub experience" with poor cleanliness and ill-fitting crew uniforms. The aircraft featured purple lighting and smoked plexiglass, but lacked the maintenance expected for the price. Comparisons are made to Southwest Airlines, which shares the modern facilities at Dallas Love Field.

virgin america· dallas love field· podcast movement· pre-check· southwest airlines

12:33 Well, the experience was interesting. Flew Virgin America that's what the podcast movement I went to score an award Yes! Yeah. I pointed this out in the newsletter with a link To the fabulous video from Sir Gene taken by Sir Gene the Sheriff Unfortunately the audio is very poor But I don't understand what obviously plugged into the to the board Or gene wasn't plugged into the board. Hey, well okay Let me tell you my experience first of all so I got pre-check that worked perfectly boom boom went through I Predict Virgin America is in trouble Okay Yeah You know their planes are have your oh yes? I'm sure you have if you've ever seen a nightclub

13:20 During the day, when the lights are on. You're sure I have? Of course you have! You've been in a club... A crap hole nightclub where the strippers are fat?! Have you ever seen that? Living- you were laying in a pool of your own vomit. You've seen it John Kaboom we know We know. We know you've seen it So when you come into the Virgin Air, I haven't flown Virgin America in a long time. It's like a nightclub and it's all dimmed. They have the purple lighting and it's all groovy. You can kind of use the smell of sour beer which probably… Well, the plane was not clean. Okay. Was not clean, I mean there was blankets on the chair from the previous passenger it was goop everywhere so they didn't clean it The flight attendants who I've always believed were have been chosen based upon their cuteness factor both male and female are still cute but they have the summer outfit which consists of this shirt that says Aloha

14:16 Maybe they have flights to Hawaii or something, but they're ill-fitting shirts and with like purple which clashes with the red because it's red and black is the virgin colors. And so they have their red cardigans on when it's a little chilly in the plane...and that clashes completely with the purple and pinkish colors. So I don't understand Who came up with that brilliant idea? But as an aviator, as an airman I like to have the shades open. All the shades are drawn when you get into the Virgin America aircraft and so i open it up and then God oh man then that was a nightclub experience everything's chipped and they have a lot of plexiglass in the plane smoked plexiglass all scratched and just gaudy there's no good looking

15:06 So they need to do an upgrade or someone is dropping the ball on Virgin America, I think. Well, I haven't flown there for a while because their prices are never any better than Southwest and Southwest from where I am...I go to the Oakland airport and grab a quick flight pretty much anywhere up and down the coast so Virgin really have to have a hell of deal. $47 to Dallas that's pretty good. Yeah it says 730 in the morning. No no no! No, all day long. It's a promotion for you it's a promotion. It's a promo yeah But you don't have a lot of Options from going from Austin to Dallas do you? Southwest we got America and sure we do I bet your southwest match but yeah It's better that you took a virgin America because you can make this report precisely but otherwise uneventful then the podcast movement which was this was different this year and

Cisco Fog Computing, Congressional Recess Schedule

Cisco is promoting "Fog Computing" as a decentralized alternative to cloud computing for the Internet of Things (IoT), with an upcoming expo in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, the Einstein cybersecurity program has been approved as Congress prepares for its August recess. The House of Representatives is scheduled to leave on August 3rd, leading to a rush to pass pending legislation.

cisco· fog computing· internet of things· congress· einstein· cloud computing

16:08 Before we get to that, weren't you wrapping something else up? Oh I'm sorry. Of course! But we can go on forever the data act which is stuck but Einstein has been approved Yeah Do you recall Einstein? That's another thing we have to fight And they're talking about there's something new it's the federal fog The federal fog this is a new term Have you heard of this fog Federal fog? Yeah, the federal fog. We have the federal fog but it's the fog computing which I think is a Cisco term cloud computing yes Yes This is a terrible term So Cisco is of course all in on the Internet of Things also known as IoT

16:56 And they want to change the name to Fog Computing, the concept being that...what do we have now? 10 billion devices. They will be creating and processing and storing data and information from the edges of the cloud—hence the fog And this is...and there's going to be a push for the federal fog, which is as predicted. Howard Baetjer Seems redundant. David Eagleman Well as you're right, as predicted, you know the pendulum always swings we've had the cloud and now we're swinging back that centralized that's the mainframe computing and now it's going right back out to decentralization to the edges. You could have short every cloud computing company now but will have the federal fog

17:49 Fog Computing Expo, August 17th through 20th. Lost wages Nevada! No you're kidding me? There's a fog computing expo?! Yeah lost wages. Wow okay it's coming up in a week there you go yeah so this fog computing thing but the Einstein has been approved we have Well, you already heard the hacking map. It's all to push these bills through before recess isn't recess coming up? Is it the end of August when everyone takes off? I think recess has begun Really? I thought that's... The month of August they take off. I thought they had one more week. Congress recess. We should definitely do that. Congress recess Do you know when? I'm looking Okay Hi! There is a PDF for the congressional work schedules

18:44 Good good. Good good, okay August 10th where they go there Okay, so they're trying to pass this stuff real quick over the house leaves on the third So they've got a get it gotta go they guys gonna happen with the house gone Maybe so let's see the third is tomorrow now It's too late nothing's gonna happen tomorrow I agree angry it's too late The house takes an extra week and they all back on September 7th both sides Did you... Now, we saw- This is a great little thing. I got to print this out. So when we look at all of this hacking and cyber attacks etc., and we've been following this at a meta level the one thing that we've consistently said that all of this is really about espionage and yeah kind of what that Chinese map which is just a map with dots on it so scary but somehow we missed this report about the JP Morgan hack

CHAPTER 07 / 46 Discussion

JPMorgan Chase Hack, Israeli Pump and Dump Scheme

Four individuals, including Israeli nationals and a Florida State University alumnus, were arrested in connection with a massive hack of JPMorgan Chase and other financial institutions. The investigation reveals the hackers used stolen customer emails to facilitate a "pump and dump" stock scheme involving low-volume penny stocks. Bloomberg reporter Carrie Getz notes the pivot from traditional boiler room tactics to cyber-enabled financial fraud.

jpmorgan chase· israel· securities fraud· pump and dump· bloomberg· fbi

19:46 Okay, they've arrested some dudes for this. Oh I didn't know about this Yeah, I got a report ready pump and dump scheme linked to that hack of JP Morgan accounts the security scheme has tentacles It says in Russia Israel and the US as you mentioned four people have been arrested in Israel and in Florida, and reveal a complex securities fraud scheme that was tied to those hacks. Not only of JPMorgan but other financial institutions officials are saying a fifth person remains at large these headlines just coming across apparently these folks were arrested this morning and represent the culmination of a months-long investigation it involves several friends who met more than a decade ago but at Florida State University apparently

20:31 in the indictment here. One of these friends is now living in Israel, another person are charged with securities fraud and a plan to pump up the value of low volume stocks. The two people arrested in Florida are charged with running an unlicensed money remitting business related to this scheme so fascinating story here it looks like behind that enormous hack of JPMorgan Chase and other financial institutions will bring you more developments as we get them but interesting here and again this hack revealed just about a year ago, a year ago coming up in August. This was the hack a year ago when Chase had to reissue cards to everybody?

21:11 And so what they're saying here is that, and the American is also... Well this doesn't sound like a very good explanation for anything. I have a follow-up clip to this. If it's a pump and dump scheme what has it got to do with hacking into Chase? Here's the follow up from this really cute girl on Bloomberg, Carrie Getter, Geither or something? I know you're in the middle of this breaking news. Talk to me about pump and dump Well it's a common and it's an old-school scheme You know we saw boiler rooms doing this back in the 80s and 90s I think The Wolf Of Wall Street can probably be... Hold on did she say wolf? She said woof It sounded like Wolf Of Wall Street to me

21:53 And it's an old school scheme. You know, we saw boiler rooms doing this back in the 80s and 90s I think the wolf of Wall Street Some form of that was happening but basically you either get investors, um, you know The way they used to do it they would call, you know Kind of unwitting people on the phone cold calls and gets them to invest in these low volume volume, most of the time they're penny stocks and then as more and more people pump money into these stocks then basically the fraudsters or the criminals sell those off in profit from the stock that their already holding. I don't agree completely with her analysis or explanation of pump-and-dump. Pump-and-dump, the way i understand it

22:40 It's not so much done with boiler rooms, but it's more online. It's on forums and people posting phony baloney news reports or hyping up some future deal... Howard Glassman She's right. But you're just talking about a modern version. Mike Miller Okay all right well listen carefully to the report... Howard Glassman I've been done around way before the online anything. And by the way since I want to see what this girl looked like because you made a big stink about it So I look up Bloomberg and Carrie, figure out what you said for a last name. It's like everybody that works at Bloomberg is Carrie. Carrie Ghibari, Carrie Tolstead, Carrie Bollmeier, Carrie Smith-Cox. Patty Steele!

23:21 Let me see Bloomberg. Let me tell you which one it is. Hold on a second. Okay, Patty Steele with everybody right here in the Bloomberg network. Let me see two people got that gang. Yeah, I was one of them. Yeah, I'm glad it would think I was the other one. But let's continue because what she saying is an interesting twist to how this hack is related. It's a common securities fraud, now what we're seeing now as this story unfolds of course we'll have more details... Is you're seeing a pivot away from the old school pump and dump to now one that appears to be tied to a major hack of a US bank.

24:22 and Some of them, not all obviously want to make sure we're careful here for basically setting up this pump and dump scheme with the aid of information related or linked to various hacks and going in and getting you know information from banks.

24:57 Okay, so what she said nothing. Yeah she did say something She said that the pump and dump first of all this all Israelis This is railies and then one American who's a dual national an is for all intents purposes for this story in Israeli So these raley's either they were part of the hack or they were using information to pump and dump So, which to me means JPMorgan if it's true which I doubt. If it is true that they hacked into JPMorgan Chase systems they figured out the people were already hyping crap that was prime for pump and dump which the fraud is probably at JPMorgan. Well pump and dumps are a great way to make a lot of money fast.

CHAPTER 08 / 46 Discussion

Bitcoin Money Laundering, Russian Hacker Allegations

A suspect in West Palm Beach is implicated in laundering $1.8 million through a Bitcoin exchange scam linked to the JPMorgan Chase investigation. While U.S. officials suspect Russian expert hackers assisted in the breach, the current arrests focus on the Israeli-led securities fraud ring. The FBI reports that the group targeted multiple brokerages, including Fidelity and E-Trade, to steal data for spamming operations.

bitcoin· money laundering· west palm beach· russia· fidelity· e-trade

25:43 And the wolf of Wall Street is largely about the process. And how easy it is to get away with because nothing really happened to that guy and true story more or less. Well, according to the complaint filed in Manhattan on Tuesday this guy there was a guy in West Palm Beach where does Horowitz live? Is he in West Palm Beach? No, he's in Fort Lauderdale. Then he's in The Clear The guy in West Palm Beach who was implicated in this, he was also implicated... I don't know if he was arrested or not. He's now being implicated in laundering at least 1.8 million dollars through a Bitcoin exchange scam which most of them are bitcoin exchange scam

26:37 So this thing is all over the map, but to me if they're saying that the JPMorgan Chase hack was tied into a pump and dump scheme. That's not just because you have someone's credit card number. They're not taking your credit card and using it to buy penny stocks. No! They had some information probably about a pump and dump already ongoing inside of JPMorgan Chase, which is why... Well that's what you're thinking. That's what I'm thinking. That's your thesis but we have no idea because these reporters have told us nothing even though you claim she did but i didn't hear anything that would tell me what the point of this or the hack was. See, I heard it very clear she said they were using information to pump and dump!

27:26 That means nothing to me. Were they using the price quotes? Were they... Oh, of course! I understand. What specific information she doesn't say just information we have information Okay according to the story she wrote And i will read her writing verbatim what is her name okay Her name is oh her name's not even on this good work okay um This but it's the Bloomberg story uh where is it here Among the surprising twists of the JP Morgan investigation is that hackers appear to have broken into the digital version of Fort Knox. Oh God, Bloomberg? Is this Bloomberg really?! The digital version of Fort Knox! Well we're in trouble... To steal relatively innocuous data specifically emails of JPMorgan customers that could be used for spam." Oh maybe they did that maybe they spammed the customers

28:23 acting as... They stole the mailing list. Yeah, acting as JP Morgan brokers saying hey you got to buy into this. Buy this stock? The cyber criminals behind the JPMorgan hacks mowed through the data I love these adjectives mowed through the data but mowed through the data at several major banks and brokerages, including Fidelity and E-Trade for more than a year beginning in the fall of 2013. According to Cybersecurity Firms and The Federal Bureau Of Investigation Memo which was obtained and now published, they contributed to a hodgepodge of scams." This is not reporting! This is prose! Mainly securities fraud and spamming emails... okay

29:09 Maybe they were just using gullible people from an email. Yeah, yeah they probably I'm sure JP Morgan's database of their customers has checkboxes for gullibility. I'm sure that's exactly what the tags they have, it's not clear if the JP Morgan hackers saw data other than the names addresses and emails eventually removed from the bank's main data center...removed? Copied maybe removed i doubt they were removed U.S officials believe the cyber attacks were done with the help of expert hackers in Russia, according to a second person familiar with the case." This is not reporting you're right but they rolled up these Israelis for some reason and there's no Russians it's three Israelis sorry one of our closest allies this is an outrage

CHAPTER 09 / 46 Discussion

National Strategic Computing Initiative, Exascale Supercomputing

President Obama issued an executive order creating the National Strategic Computing Initiative (NSCI) to develop a coordinated federal strategy for high-performance computing (HPC). The goal is to build an exascale computing system 100 times faster than current 10-petaflop machines. The initiative aims to maintain economic competitiveness and prepare for the "post-Moore's Law era" over the next 15 years.

executive order· supercomputer· hpc· nsci· petaflops· moore's law

30:05 We should remove... Just because some criminals in Israel has got nothing to do with our closest allies. They're just the same kind of crooks that are all over the world, they just happen to be from a university and it makes some sense they're from the University of Florida or was it Florida State? Florida State makes more sense. Now this all of this... Thank you guys! All letters to adamandcurry.com. We have Florida state listeners I've just given them at that time So here's another angle to look at this But these stories with the Chinese cyber attack map, with the hacks could be linked to an executive order that came out earlier this week. I doubt it was discussed anywhere did you hear anything about the executive order for creating a national strategic computing initiative? No but i don't normally pay much attention because i know you're on it! I am indeed now the title is misleading

31:02 Before it is titled, I'll read it again. Executive Order Creating a National Strategic Computing Initiative Let's look into the order itself By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of United States of America And to maximize benefits of high performance computing research known as HPC, and deployment it is hereby ordered as follows. Policy! Ding! In order to maximize the benefits of high-performance computing for economic competitiveness and scientific discovery... The United States government must create a coordinated federal strategy in high performance computing research development and deployment Well there it is we're creating a supercomputer to steal your shit people And I'm talking to you China Russia and Germany

31:56 How is this new? How is it new that this is now a federal mandate to create... I know, but we're doing it anyway. There's something else that has got to be deeper than that. Well, I think it's taking away from the other agencies and moving under the administration effectively here. The United States must deploy and apply new high-performance computing technologies broadly for economic competitiveness and scientific discovery. Who's going to use this? Yeah, spies. Competitiveness... Hey you steal our secrets we steal your secrets. Well wait for it number two the United States must foster public-private collaboration Oh here we go this is never gonna work The more they push for this the less likely they're going to ever achieve it The United States must adopt a whole of government approach that draws upon the strengths and seeks cooperation among all executive departments and agencies Of course are all in there

32:52 And the United States must develop a comprehensive technical and scientific approach to transition high-performance computing research on hardware, systems software development tools and applications efficiently into development ultimately operations. Yeah this is really the fascist thing is it bribing well? The adage make the corporations work for the government and the governmental help the corporation you all be one big happy family. Newer listeners are often confused when we say this is a fascist move But when you have collusion between the government and... We're not talking about Hitler, we're talking about fascism in the sense of corporatism. Where the government is in bed with the corporations or forced the corporations to go get in bed with them. Here are the objectives of the HCP. Executive departments agencies and offices of the agencies participating in the NSCI what does that? National... NSCI?

33:55 Let me see that's the show. It's oh, it's no it's the National Strategic Computing Initiative of course yes shall pursue the five strategic objectives one accelerating delivery of a capable of a capable exascale computing system that integrates hardware and software capability to deliver approximately 100 times the performance of current 10 petaflop systems across a range of applications representing government needs Is that big? A thousand petaflops? Oh wait, if it's a thousand petaflops it's no longer a petaflop. It's uh... What's above the petaflop? Ex-uh-flap? Exaflap has to be yeah Who cares this is bullcrap! Okay

CHAPTER 10 / 46 Discussion

Federal Fog Computing, Public-Private Data Collaboration

The NSCI executive order is criticized as a "fascist" move toward corporatism, mandating collaboration between the government, industry, and academia. The strategy involves using high-performance computing for predictive data analytics and modeling, similar to "Minority Report" technology. Critics argue this creates a "federal fog" where resources are shared between the state and tech giants like Google.

predictive technology· google· harvard· data analytics· fascism· nsci

34:42 It's funnier though, if you want to... I'll just continue. You might even- He's wasting taxpayers' money again! Increasing coherence between the technology base used for modeling and simulation and that used for data analytic computing Let me see if I understand this This thing must be for... you're gonna have to rent this thing out Oh timeshare increasing coherence between the technology... Time share. Time share! Hey, would you like to go to this great concert tonight at the White House? All we have to do is visit this 45 minute time-share presentation for the high performance computing system Yes, you two can have a juice for one week So increasing coherence between the technology base used for modeling and simulation

35:27 and that used for data analytic computing. So this will be a predictive technology the way I read that, which is minority report exactly establishing over the next 15 years of viable path forward for the future high-performance computing systems even after the limits of current semiconductor technology are reached—the so called post Moore's law era Are they claiming that Moore's Law will end in 15 years? Well, Dave this is like the global warming teeter. It was a teetering point the point of no return. The point of no return which has been reached I don't know every 10 years it's been reached

36:07 They've been saying the same thing about the end of Moore's Law since way before I think it was, trying to think of what it is. Right now we're at 22 nanometers. So we're in peak computing? Is that what you were saying? Yeah, peak computing! Peak computing power Yes, they have and there's actually some evidence this time. I think there has always been evidence but they keep breaking through the barrier and they keep making these ships more ridiculous. Well, they're very clear... There will be a grain of sand by the time we are done here The president is very clear that over the next 15 years he must establish a viable path forward for future high capacity What does he got to do with it? He is the man! His iPad is running slow

36:53 a viable path forward for future HPC systems even after the limits of current semiconductor technology are reached. So that's a... a predictive... We haven't gotten to the photon stuff yet, so it's just a ways away. Increasing the capacity and capability of an enduring national HPC ecosystem by employing a holistic approach. Oh! Dare I say? A holistic approach that addresses relevant factors such as networking technology workflow downward scale is this just some kind of big handoff to the big company? So yeah we'll fund the next version of your

37:30 systems, Google. For what purpose? Just to give it to them so they'll do whatever the government tells them to do. The local hackers, the guys who were meeting in Vegas and ones around the world and those Israeli guys... They don't need this sort of power to hack into JP Morgan! No. So what is the... I'll tell you, I'll... This kind of power to hack into a Chinese database of trademark patents and... No but it is a great way to achieve the fifth and most important objective in this executive order developing an enduring public-private collaboration to ensure that the benefits of the research and development advances are, to the greatest extent shared between the United States government, the industrial and academic sectors. So that's it! It is creating a huge

38:23 fog cloud thing internet of things that will be shared equally between the government a Google and Harvard or Stanford or all of the above I don't see any other reason, and it's gonna cost a lot of money. It's just some waste of money Not if you get everyone on board sharing They're not going to really alright. I don't know where this were this was a strange story It all began with the JPMorgan hack by the Israelis. And somehow you got onto this, and I don't know what this is...and I still think it's something bogative about it. Big giant computer! They're building a- our government's building a big giant computer in space

CHAPTER 11 / 46 Discussion

JFK Airport Drone Incidents, ISIS Homeland Threat

Two flights at JFK Airport, operated by JetBlue and Delta, reported close encounters with drones flying within 100 feet of the aircraft. The Department of Homeland Security warned law enforcement that drones could be used by adversaries for illicit activities in the homeland. The narrative is viewed as a regulatory tactic to link hobbyist technology to the threat of ISIS.

jfk airport· drones· jetblue· delta· homeland security· isis

39:12 What? In space. They should just add stuff to it! Is there going to be in space?! No, I'm saying they should add to that put it in space. That would top it. Solar-powered drones with high performance computing...I don't know either John. I do know the House of Representatives is looking for a new CIO if you want to apply for that job. CIO sounds like a nightmare. Yeah yeah all right enough of that I do want to play one more crazy clip from ABC where they're hysterical. Okay Let's play the clip, drones in the homeland. Yeah I got this too it was great and now to some frightening close calls in New York. Two different flights landing at JFK Airport coming within mere feet of drones flying where they should not have been pilots seeing drones in the sky virtually every day the risk of colliding with one of them growing two here now ABC's Marci Gonzalez

40:11 Tonight after two close calls with drones in the most crowded airspace in the country, aviation experts sounding the alarm. Sooner or later we're going to lose an airplane due to a collision. Friday, a drone spotted just 100 feet below JetBlue Flight 1834 from Port-au-Prince about to land at New York's JFK Airport. It was one of those small blades that went around but covered our direction. I'm not sure if it actually existed. Just more than two hours later in the same area again a drone coming dangerously close. This time to Delta Flight 407 from Orlando on its final approach. What altitude did you say that was? I said about 100 feet below us, just up our right wing

40:54 No one was hurt and investigators don't suspect foul play, but the serious concerns about drones highlighted again Friday by the Department of Homeland Security. Telling law enforcement agencies we cannot rule out that adversaries in the homeland would be able to use these to support illicit or violent activities. Oh yeah another non story well this is this is then the new normal anything you want forbid or regulate or just get rid of altogether, you just say it could be used by ISIS. It could be used by ISIS. Podcasts could be... In the homeland! Podcasts could be use to radicalize in the homeland, to radicalize Isis supporters in the homeland. Yeah. I think that's what we're going to see. Well someone is gonna stop us. Yeah eventually. Okay back to podcasting

CHAPTER 12 / 46 Discussion

Six Flags Over Texas, Texas Giant Roller Coaster

The Texas Giant roller coaster at Six Flags Over Texas is described as a "mean-spirited" ride with a computer-designed layout. An anecdote details a specific tower on the ride where staff reportedly check for distressed or deceased passengers during slow segments. The discussion touches on the potential for cyber-attacks on amusement park infrastructure.

six flags· texas giant· fort worth· roller coaster· amusement park

41:49 Yes, now we're... Wow! This is the Shaggy Dog opening. We're 54 minutes into the show and it's one long shaggy dog story. Yeah with no punchline which is the best part Well there may be a punch line that we don't know So you went to Fort Worth Texas Which is separate from Dallas? Yes it is It's quite a distance and there's a big amusement park between the two cities And which has six flags over Texas? Stadium Is that six flags? Yeah, and it's a dynamite one. They have the Texas Giant which is... This is roller coaster I've been to this place a number of times and I keep going on the stupid roller coaster called the Texas Giant Which looms on the horizon something like if you're leaving Paris And you see Chartres in the distance because this thing is so huge and you go on this thing every Rollercoaster has a person who would be part more part of The Shaggy Dog Story every roller coaster has a personality

42:44 And this personality of this coaster is, I consider it to be a very mean... It's a mean-spirited roller coaster. And the funny thing is, halfway through the roller coaster there is a spot way up in the air where the roller coaster slows down and it goes really slow and just straight... There are no ups or downs, there are sides back and forth. Just very slowly. Then there's a tower with a guy in there to look to see if anybody on the coaster is dead! Do you know this for a fact? Yes! So then the coaster starts going again with... Hold on, hold on! Stop it on the tracks. We got a dead one. So the curves and all this stuff that it does is all computer designed so none of them are natural. Oh hold on, hold on I feel something coming ISIS hack on roller coaster That has to happen. I think that was actually done in The Scorpion show. I think there's a hack already. That is a good

43:47 Public scare tactic yeah, well anyway so this coaster when you get off of it You say to yourself at least I say to myself self. I'm never going on this miserable rollercoaster again It is no fun and oh and you're a coaster guy. I've gone on it I keep going out if I go back. I will go on it again because I figure well Maybe I was wrong But I won't go on two times in a row like a lot of people will I don't go on coasters at all, i'm not a fan. A lot of people don't like it. Not a fan, not a fan But I think it would be good It would be-it would be a good scare tactic to uh...

44:23 You know, they could take over the coast. Wired could... Why would a coaster be on the internet? Who knows! Well, Wired could do a whole feature story on how they hacked the rollercoaster which is what Wired loves doing. Anyway so that's the layout of Fort Worth where it's always assumed that the richest people in Texas actually live in Forth Worth. Hmm well the Fort Worth Convention Center does not portray that richness I shall tell you but they don't wear it oh It's kind of But it was held at the Omni, the Omni Hotel in Fort Worth. And I've always resisted going to these events one because i have nothing to say really...I don't think I can add anything. I don't like doing that. I don't like speaking in public and especially when people say you're the podfather! You should do it no no no I think so and just sponsor it No no I don't think so no that's not gonna happen

CHAPTER 13 / 46 Discussion

Academy of Podcasters Awards, Colt Cabana

The Podcast Movement conference at the Omni Hotel in Fort Worth featured the inaugural Academy of Podcasters Hall of Fame induction. Professional wrestler Colt Cabana hosted the ceremony, which recognized various NPR spin-offs and independent creators. The event's professional production, including branded room keys and signage, is highlighted as a significant step for the industry.

podcast movement· colt cabana· hall of fame· gary leland· omni hotel

45:15 He can out a living here, give me a break. Exactly I don't know if this is the second year they've done this but anyway best podcast conference i have ever seen because i've seen a lot of how they've been put together and what was nice is the banners and the integration of the signage right down to the room keys you know, someone I think Gary Leland. I guess he really had it all well done we have the podcast movement on the keys and everything so it was professional professional yes when you walk into lobby they have big support pillars

45:56 presumably to hold up the building. They were wrapped with signage, you know professionally wrapped with signage just dynamite, dynamite well done now what I noticed is that most of the attendees the ones that i spoke to and also based on what I was seeing in the way of vendors This was people who were already...the attendees, podcasters who are already kind of on the road and looking to either upgrade their technical skills, their verbal, the presentation skills or maybe even a video skills. It seemed it would be a lot more audio oriented there were made in USA microphones which when I asked further yeah well kind of designed in the USA okay China gotcha

46:39 Which you would have enjoyed. You would've enjoyed some of these stories about the caps and the transformers, and that kind of stuff... But also the sessions themselves! There's always the 10 sessions about how to monetize, how to make money but what blew me away- I know, I know. That's why there are some guys doing a podcast about it, he just leaves out half the ideas The awards And of course, I went to the awards in Vegas which was...I mean when you have the education category up on the screen and the word education is misspelled. You know you have a problem with the awards. That was in Vegas? That was in Vegas! Education misspelled for the education category. But this was professionally done and I would say that number one reason it was so professional was the host Colt Cabana. Do you know this guy? Wrestler?

47:36 Yeah, Colt Cabana. I think his story is that he was a wrestler and the WWE fired him because they said you're not cosmetically...this is what he said at least..you're not cosmetically pleasing enough to be on TV and so we started podcasting and now does these kind of underground illegal or alternative underground wrestling matches which are What he said pretty pretty popular and you know in the obviously in Japan, and and he's doing very well with that But this guy was funny. He was really loose it was just a great host And as in you have to be at certain kind of person to carry an award show and He did a very good job them so there were categories awards a lot of NPR shows winning awards In boards the NPR spin-offs then also the

48:32 The guy from 99% Invisible, I forget all these names. Former NPR guy funny just really talented people there are a lot of talented people on stage which was somewhat nerve-wracking for me because my, except my award, my inductance induction into the Hall of Fame was pretty much at the end of the show and you know one thing they forget to do is you always need some little sing and dance number. You know every award show needs a break can't just be award and award and award and award you need like something have a band play anything that's just a little tip

CHAPTER 14 / 46 Discussion

Adam Curry Hall of Fame Induction, Leo Laporte

Adam Curry was inducted into the Podcast Hall of Fame, using his acceptance speech to thank fellow inductees Todd Cochran, Scott Sigler, and Leo Laporte. The speech emphasized that podcasting has overtaken traditional broadcasting. Observers noted the public acknowledgment of Laporte despite past professional friction between the two figures.

adam curry· leo laporte· todd cochran· scott sigler· hall of fame

49:11 Yes, I agree with that now and so I accepted and thank you. Did you see the speech? I watched the whole thing mm-hmm Appreciate your commentary. I did make a note on Twitter's you because you said I was the funniest guy You know when I said we only knows Dutch Now you're the funniest guy. I know and so the day where I would compare to the Dutch Yeah, I don't know a lot of people. I'm just it was a gag for they get the Dutch riled up That's funny I guess You did say give a shout out to Leo and I get the biggest kick out of the first comment on the

49:56 YouTube page. Well, hold on what I did was I thanked a number of my fellow inductees who were the only ones...the ones who I knew. I thank Todd Cochran because that guy's just relentless in running the Raw Voice and BlueBerry network Scott Sigler who you know is now at New York Times best-selling author and he's built an entire category around podcasting and authors and Leo Laporte for proving to us that television can be online And I said podcasts, didn't want to bring in the netcast thing. So what was the first comment on the YouTube video? On the YouTube page that showed your video, the guy said, That was nice of Adam to call out Leo Laporte after all the mean things Leo has done and said about Adam over the years so people do notice. He hasn't done a lot of mean things

50:52 Well, I don't know. Maybe he has? I don't watch it all that much so i dont know And then at the end, which you could not hear because of just the poor quality which is just the distance from the sound source and Sir Gene's recording device. I did what you told me to do at the end! I held the award up over my head and went GO PODCASTING!!! I was wondering what you said because i saw you do that thing...and I couldn't hear it..and I thought you said Hello Cleveland Go podcasting! I did it. I did it. Well good, yeah It's a nice award too looks like it had to pack in the suitcase and put it has a very sharp point But I'm sure that if I yourself you if you just jabbed your finger on the end it would they would break this kid And I figured that the TSA would not let me take that through hand-in-hand luggage So I had to put it in the suitcase

51:50 So it was nice. And then, you know, I met a couple of people who still been around and Horowitz was... Here's another thing- Horowitz was there? No, Horowitz was nominated but I had no idea that they were nominated. I don't even know how this works all i know is, you know, I had to sleep with all these people who said they were from the Academy of Podcasters to get into the Hall of Fame but otherwise I don't know how they did this or how the voting was done To me, it was telling that in most of these categories there were podcasts that I knew of. So like Horowitz, Rock and Roll Geek Show... And I would be the only person clapping! No one knows these older podcasts no one's heard of them at least not the crowd in the room. It's all trending toward the repurposing of crappy NPR material

52:45 Well, some of it's repurposing but not some of the newer stuff. You know? Yeah but still done in the same exact style. It's like if you're in that industry...if you're in that public broadcasting industry and you're doing a podcast instead of actually getting something on the air I think you consider yourself...so you're a loser. That's the way the industry would like to set it up yeah Yeah. Well, if you're in the industry that's the way you're going to think about things. My main quote which people picked up on I'm happy about that is podcasting has overtaken broadcasting which is true all the broadcasters are moving towards podcasting so who's on the winning edge of this? Well there you have it. I think you're right there yeah two people picked up on that anyway was fun nice seeing everybody I saw uh Luria Callie Lewis she's moving to Portland apparently oh really yeah

CHAPTER 15 / 46 Discussion

Podcast Movement Sponsorships, Obama Jingle Remixes

The absence of MailChimp as a sponsor at the Podcast Movement awards is noted, despite their heavy presence in NPR-style podcasts. A tangent covers Luria Petrucci's move to Portland and the "bubbly" energy she brings to the tech scene. The segment concludes with listener-submitted musical remixes featuring audio of President Obama.

stitcher· mailchimp· luria petrucci· portland· barack obama

53:38 Wow, I don't know why that's worth a wow it's worth the wow to me because i know her well enough to Know that her in portland is just like. I know portland and you know You're talking watch the thing for watch this show portlandia hmm i don't know if she's gonna be able to fit in Fit-in at all mm-hmm She's bubbly you know she has a lot of That kind of energy there's not portland energy And there was one other thing that Colt Cabana said, which I found also found telling. You know this show was sponsored by Stitcher and the whole bunch of pod bucket bean sprouts. Pod Bucket Bean Sprout. And we still have not learned you know all these names missing vowels it's just oh pod-tastic but clearly absent was MailChimp

54:34 Why were they not sponsoring? Don't they sponsor all of these NPR podcasts?" I don't know that they do. Oh yeah, oh yeah! Serial and 99% there or Invisible... Yeah, all sponsored by MailChimp but they weren't sponsoring the awards or the show just a point of interest. Well i'm sure if you did a deconstruction of the whole thing you'd find all kinds of complaints. But it was nice, it was a professional show, I liked it very much And then you got your award You got the Has-Been Award by the way Lifetime achievement. No, it was not a lifetime achievement It was just the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame? It's a little premature seems to me Are you gonna buzzkill my recognition? Yes! Exactly what I'm doing. You're such a dick! That's some rowdy crap Come on guys...you're in my house Hold on straight up! Hey hey hey

55:36 Okay, you know what? Shame on ya! You shouldn't be doing this. Now this is a... ProTovV sent us this one and Random Number Theory Benjamin Garlock sent his own version The same thing Well different No no no no no no Hey hey hey hey Oh nononono Hey hey hey hey Nononono

56:16 It never ends. I like both of them, but the first one which had Obama's commentary at the end as though you were making fun of him...I thought that one is a genuine gem. I can't wait to find out what we'll have for the next show! What an imagination. What an imagination! All this is just some guy saying no, no, no, hey... That's all you need apparently to write a hit song. For modern music yes I think he nailed it Four chords and na-na-na-na-na Hey hey hey hey And with that i'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C the

No Agenda Art Generator, Paul Couture

The No Agenda Art Generator, coded by Sir Paul Couture using Drupal, serves as the hub for listener-submitted episode artwork. The process allows live-stream viewers to submit designs in real-time during the broadcast. The hosts discuss the high quality of recent submissions and the technical backend of the site.

art generator· paul couture· drupal· live stream· episode 743

57:10 I'm not going to say it. All right, hey chat room! Yeah already off the rails exactly In the morning to Riday, Riday? I know would it be Riday? Riday? R-I-D-A-Y The artist for art for episode 743 and this was the misgendered episode which had a beautiful piece of art Now this one we got from The Evergreens because we pretty much had no submissions We had like three pieces. That was very odd. It marked the end of July, it made sense to me in some way. The July was bad So we're starting to catch up. It was a beautiful piece, you can see everything at the art generator and some people haven't understood this who are new listeners... The way it works is during the show we stream this live and you get that the show your hearing it's unedited exactly the same except we started the show over this morning because of the connection Well I would say 99% of time is unedited

58:09 There's rarely... Rarely. If something breaks or it's just not... And then we moan about it endlessly, ohhhhhh, we gotta take that out! Or my Tourette's takes hold and I start cussing and swearing and yelling We usually take that out You usually leave that in Yeah sometimes That is then submitted during the show and right up to the end of the show at noagendaartgenerator.com This thing is worth looking at It's just that every piece is beautiful. There are things that are incredibly funny, which just don't apply or not fit for public consumption often even by our standards

58:46 And you can find that in Ojanda. Yeah, we should mention that it was coded by Paul Couture who is a one of the first artists that worked on the show and then retired and Decided to put this generator up sir Paul, and it's just coded in I don't know Headless droopers a drupal product headless Drupal its headed headed Okay, I don't think it's headless and It's good. It's a nice product and it makes people, it's easy to submit most people don't use the generator factor has a bunch of templates you can drop art into but most people that get their art on nowadays have designed the piece from scratch And this is the point in the program where we like to thank and I discussed this at

CHAPTER 17 / 46 Discussion

Parkinson's Disease Research, Chemical Exposure Risks

A discussion on Parkinson's disease explores potential links to chemical exposure in military and industrial jobs, specifically near paper mills. The hosts examine theories regarding non-sugar sweeteners like aspartame and contaminated substances in the 1980s party scene as possible factors for early-onset cases. This was prompted by a donation note from Cynthia Hickson, who is seeking "job karma" amid layoffs in the Houston oil sector.

59:38 During my speech where I said the most important thing is your audience. You have to connect to an audience, your audience are no longer mindless drones just sitting around picking their nose listening or watching you. They are micro units of production such as what you just heard, the jingles for us. Feedback loops, retweeting, promoting, supporting... And we like to promote the top executive and associate executive producers anyone who gives over... We haven't cut out 333-333 but used over $300 they get executive producer. I have a bunch today thank goodness for August and the blue moon Cynthia Hickson comes in at the top from Sugar Land Texas with a she's now i believe if i'm not mistaken

1:00:25 I could be wrong. If i'm not mistaken, she is the first instadame. Oh nice! Cynthia do we have a note from her? Yes we do. Okay good. Instadame She's an instadame. As much as I hate the reference, so she apparently... She said I don't have to read all this by the way. So i'm going to read parts of it. As much as I hate the reference, I hate to admit that I've been a douchebag for a long time! I am sending you this check to become an instadame for my birthday on August 2nd. I will be 64!

1:01:01 I've been pondering for a long time what my name would be. I'm known for my tenacity and persistence in solving problems, I could use some serious job karma. Rumor at work is that there's gonna be 10% layoff beginning in August, that's today being a mechanical designer for 20 years and living in the Houston area where almost everything is oil related doesn't help matters." Or I can use some lotto karma so i can retire and stay at home with my husband to make sure he does his exercise. My husband of 41 years, can't work since 2008." And she goes on about that... So the VA... and she's having trouble with the VA. Oh yeah go figure! Anyway thanks for this or the sanity you guys deliver twice a week uh She says

1:01:50 something you might want to look into. On the way home from work one day, I was listening to NPR and a gentleman was talking about people born between the 40's and 60's who were in the workforce in various positions like military mechanics and artists they were coming down with Parkinson's from chemical exposure And how it was different than normal Parkinson's Well there is seems to be a lot of evidence that there are different kinds of causal factors when it comes to Parkinson's And one example I know of is that around paper plants, which have a very distinctive stench. Paper mill there's pockets of Parkinson's that is abnormally high. Really? What do you think that's attributable to? Is it something in the mill process that says... That would be my guess. There's a couple of noxious chemicals that come out. That's the ones from what miners... My having inspected these places stinks

1:02:46 And it has a certain kind of stink that just does not... I mean, I wouldn't live anywhere near one of these things. And that's one of the problems with Port Townsend in Washington is although the wind blows this stench of this toxic smell to Seattle, the winds shifts every once in a while and then next thing you know, you're smelling this crap in Port Townsend. So I think long exposure of this... There's also some evidence that long exposure certain non-sugar sweeteners. Yeah, like aspartame. Yes and then there's also in the period of time when Michael Fox was a very popular actor and party animal there was some heroin and other drugs maybe cocaine or some other things that you might run into at a party that had some contaminants apparently... Sorry what was the address of this party?

1:03:43 It was somewhere in Manhattan. That might have a relationship to early onset Parkinson's because this was studied and I always... Wait, wait so you're saying cocaine and heroin can also lead to Parkinson's? Contaminated. Oh well most of that stuff is cut and contaminated isn't it I don't know. Come on, put like laxative and stuff in there? Yeah i'm sure there's something you shouldn't be breathing. You shouldn't be breathing heroin and cocaine that's the bottom line. It's a real problem yeah. That's shitty In fact funny thing is... Oh! Is it really funny am I gonna just laugh hilariously? Huh, I say too thank you

Star Wars Episode VII, Hillary Clinton Proxy Theory

A listener theory suggests that Carrie Fisher's return as Princess Leia in the upcoming Star Wars movie is a cultural proxy for Hillary Clinton's presidential run. The December 2015 release date is analyzed as a potential strategic move by Disney. The segment includes various "Obama" themed jingles and donor shout-outs.

1:04:29 Well, anyway. Let's thank our... That was Cynthia. Well let me give her the jobs karma which she asked for. Jobs! Jobs! Jobs and jobs! Let's vote for jobs! You stop. Karma. There we go. Sir Michael Mugler in Fort Knox I thought I put Tennessee down? There is not a Fort Knox Texas. I think it was just mistyped. Okay could be. He sent it in his mail-in. Anyway from Fort Knox 747 Now, he wants to be the first member of the 747 club in advance of show 747. So he'll be named a 747 Club member and he says... Yeah we'll remember this for sure. I think so. Is Show 747 being supported by Boeing or any...?

1:05:20 Stories from either of you on the hump deck of this plane. I figure i better get into the show club with a show number donation." Okay! Quick, just as a random note by the way... Question on the upcoming Star Wars movie December 2015 Princess Leia? I have read that they are getting Carrie Fisher in shape to reclaim the role Do you think this could be a proxy for Hillary Clinton Or at least the idea of the next president to be a woman. He said, and he has Pocahontas Jedi tie-in. Okay well... It seems like the movie is already done yet they went for December versus 4th of July weekend release date

1:06:06 Was that as far back as Disney was willing to release it? Keep up the good work, Knight Michael Muggler.

So their support makes sense since they're given hundreds of thousands of dollars that many of them carry and are burdened by on top of this habitual underemployment perhaps the coming default of much of the one trillion student loan debt out there would be the basis for the 2017 collapse predicted by Dvorak's cycle theory Please send out a douchebag, all of the- for all of the douchebags not donating to support the show.

Venezuela Civil War Warning, Property Confiscation

An encounter with a Venezuelan expat at Dallas Love Field reveals stories of government land seizures under the post-Chavez regime. The individual, a former farm owner with a degree in HR, describes his cattle and 200 acres being confiscated by armed groups. He predicts an inevitable civil war in Venezuela as economic and social conditions deteriorate.

1:17:19 You don't have to keep harping on this, but everybody knows that when you get a lifetime achievement award it's like...it's subtle hint to quit. Is that what you want? Is that why you brought it up? No! I'm thinking this is...that was why I was disappointed. It was not a Lifetime Achievement Award. It was a Hall of Fame doesn't mean your dead just hall-of-fame. It means you're...okay let's stop Hall of Fame generally refers to people who have retired. In fact, in baseball you can't get the Hall of Fame award until you're retired for five years or something like that. You have to be out of the game. So this is a subtle way... I think they've done this on purpose. Are you telling me that they only did this just to get me to the show? They wanted it! That can't be possible John. Well then I'm not going into that. Don't believe them for a second. But both you and Leo to quit

1:18:13 Ha ha. Alright everybody, there you go. Dvorak dot org slash N A It's the easy way to get me to quit just stop supporting us don't support us please! Don't do that at all or you can always go out there and do the American work of propagating the formula Our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth Order order Shut up! Ray Shut Up! City Alright And contrary to what we said previously, this show has been edited. We took out about 10 minutes of John... Yeah it blew up. It's blowed up stuff. I've blewed up my connection for some reason. So on the way back

1:19:01 at Dallas Love Field, which is not really handy. Virgin Air flies to Love Field and not to WWF. Oh I didn't know that! Yeah...which is a great airport. That was solely owned by Southwest. It's Southwest and Virgin those the only two there as far as I could tell. And it's on the way but it's a beautiful airport yeah just its modern it's great and like you know we've been following Venezuela kind of on on the sideline because it's been hard to really get a grasp on what is happening. But I met Pablo, and Pablo has a shoeshine station there in Love Field and you know me, I'll talk to anybody. And so Pablo's shining my shoes

1:19:45 And I said, hey where are you from? He says Venezuela. So a lot of shit going down there because that's all you have to do it's like whether you're an Uber or whether you're having your shoes shine just a lot of shit going he said Pablo has a degree in HR That's why shining shoes and great state of Texas They confiscated his farm. He had 100 head of cattle. You had he said he had Like 200 acres And they just came in with the AK-47s, confiscated his farm. Then he had to leave, he escaped and came into the United States. When was this? A year ago! He's been in the states a year. This is since Chavez... Since Chavez died yes. Okay. Yeah and he says there will be a civil war guaranteed Who has the rationale for stealing his stuff?! They just wanted his stuff

1:20:38 Wow. That's what's happening everywhere, people just come in first his neighbors and he purchased the cattle from his neighbors farm because the guy had to leave because they were maybe it some form of you know quote unquote eminent domain Then he purchased the cattle from his neighbor and...he's 63, I might add. The guy was kind of semi-retired just had cattle, he was enjoying life and then they come in with AK47s that kicked him out. And well, I think they did pay him something like 200 bucks an acre for a poor guy but he said this is going to be civil war so very sad about my country. I don't think I'll ever be able to go back."

1:21:20 Wow, that's a good one. Yeah yeah but I don't know if it's a good one but well no i mean it's a good catch because we have had nothing but trouble and we get a lot of notes from some people that are expats from the area they're you're not covering it right? You got it wrong this guy is bad he's a horrible person and this guys you know Do you have any idea? I have no, I think you've gotten the closest so far. You're the one that's walked it that far. I haven't...I mean, I ran into like we talked about, I don't know if it talked about on the show or not but I did meet John Perkins, the economic hitman guy and I asked him specifically about Venezuela and he couldn't tell me anything which was very disappointed in.

CHAPTER 21 / 46 Discussion

Greek Bailout, German KfW Bank Assets

The IMF's refusal to provide further funding to Greece complicates the latest bailout negotiations. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble is implementing a strategy similar to the East German reunification, using the KfW Bank to hold $15 billion in Greek state assets for privatization. These assets include ports, airports, and offshore gas rights, effectively placing Greek infrastructure under German control.

greece· imf· kfw bank· wolfgang schäuble· privatization

1:22:04 the latest news from Greece and the bailout, as now it appears the IMF will not be putting any money in which, as far as I understand makes the possibility even of a bail out or fourth injection. Fourth fifth injection of cash pretty much impossible And I've been looking at this German bank, the German state bank, the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau which is the KFW Bank. They're the ones who have the $15 billion worth of Greek state assets such as ports, airports highways and I think also offshore oil rigs gas rights and pretty much everything. What strikes me is that Wolfgang Schauble

1:22:57 who, when we had the reunification of East and West Germany he was the one who negotiated the terms. And Schaubel is all over this deal and I think we've discussed this on the show because it's a great documentary...I have to find that again how that worked..it was they set up was it the Troy Hand? I think was the name of it. It was a bank or holding space where they put all of the East German assets in to prepare them for privatization and then, you know like...a whole bunch of things happened there

1:23:35 Was it the CEO, I think of Deutsche Bank? People were getting assassinated and all kinds of weird stuff was happening. But they are doing an exact repeat of Schauble's idea for the reunification of East and West Germany. They're running it through this KfW bank. And it's a no-win situation for Greece. They'll never win. And you know...I don't even know if they have to give them the 50 billion! I guess the assets are already with the Germans This is a very, very bad thing that's happening. And no one's covering this about the KFW bank I'm surprised about that. We have to start covering it then? Now so and I did look into the KFW you'll recall that they sent $350 million dollars to Lehman Brothers just like a day before the collapse. I understand what that now was...that was a margin call

1:24:28 These guys were really exposed to Lehman Brothers and the 2008 crunch. They had a margin call, paid to get out so that was also Germany getting the shaft on that. So they're probably here you know getting their Well, I'm their brothers. I've noticed that the Greek coverage has fallen off the radar where they go on and on about Cecil the lion and the bullcrap story about his brother's brother Which there's no evidence this is actually true actually have a clip Oh good Thank goodness Cecil BS add-on story first Cecil now perhaps Jericho conflicting reports that the brother of a beloved lion hunted and killed in Zimbabwe has also been shot dead

CHAPTER 22 / 46 Discussion

Cecil the Lion, Zimbabwe Big Game Hunting

The global outcry over Cecil the Lion is analyzed as a potential media distraction from the Planned Parenthood undercover videos. Conflicting reports emerge regarding the death of Cecil's brother, Jericho, with GPS data suggesting the animal is still alive. Photos of Donald Trump Jr. posing with hunting trophies are also discussed as part of the media narrative.

1:23:35 Was it the CEO, I think of Deutsche Bank? People were getting assassinated and all kinds of weird stuff was happening. But they are doing an exact repeat of Schauble's idea for the reunification of East and West Germany. They're running it through this KfW bank. And it's a no-win situation for Greece. They'll never win. And you know...I don't even know if they have to give them the 50 billion! I guess the assets are already with the Germans This is a very, very bad thing that's happening.

Now so and I did look into the KFW you'll recall that they sent $350 million dollars to Lehman Brothers just like a day before the collapse. I understand what that now was...that was a margin call

1:24:28 These guys were really exposed to Lehman Brothers and the 2008 crunch. They had a margin call, paid to get out so that was also Germany getting the shaft on that. So they're probably here you know getting their Well, I'm their brothers. I've noticed that the Greek coverage has fallen off the radar where they go on and on about Cecil the lion and the bullcrap story about his brother's brother Which there's no evidence this is actually true actually have a clip Oh good Thank goodness Cecil BS add-on story first Cecil now perhaps Jericho conflicting reports that the brother of a beloved lion hunted and killed in Zimbabwe has also been shot dead

1:25:11 The beloved lion, a beloved shot dead. Broadway Conservation Task Force says the hunter operating illegally gunned down Jericho the Lion today but a researcher who tracks the animal by GPS claims he is alive and he is moving He's alive and moving. So this is what I heard too. Why is there a story if the guy who knows this lion has got that tracker on him, he sees the thing moving around? Does anyone say this story just bogus? Well by think kind of as predicted the minute we talked about it on Thursday reports coming out about Trump's kids, The big game hunting douchebag sons showing all their trophies they're dead leopards or whatever it is what kind of... What do they have here? Is that cheetah

1:25:57 No, leopard. The one with the dead leopard and I love the one that Trump killed... I like that band by the way Dead Leopard Okay you get one for that Donald Jr posing with a tail of an elephant? I love that picture With the sinew and strands of goop dripping out the bottom It's a fantastic photo And so Trump is now also defending his... So part of that I think is what it is, but it seems still more like it's meant to cover up the Planned Parenthood videos. It's a dual purpose! Well, it's great

1:26:40 It's just great. So they'll even lie to bring in Jericho, his brother which there is no evidence...no true report and even the I have a couple of news reports — no clips unfortunately — but Zimbabwe itself, the Zimbabwans according to local reports are saying what lion? Acting Information Minister Priska Mupfumira said what lion after being asked about the death of Cecil They don't care. They're all happy, they're happy that money comes in and they are happy that big game is preserving or conserving... This story could have been definitely created out of whole cloth I wish i knew the genesis of it really well this seems to be there's an outfit that is propagating this and its what is the name of this? There something like a Zimbabwe

1:27:38 I tried to find out more about it, but this one's going to be tough. But there is some NGO based in Zimbabwe with some guy named Jeremy something or other. I'm sorry, i can't find it off hand. Yeah but I wanted to find the genesis...I'd love to know who came up with this first and then maybe derive was it just out of the blue? Or was it meant to obfuscate Trump's successes and make him look like a douchebag? Or to you know cover or paper over the Planned Parenthood video so there's a fourth one. It was tight timing so I would be more inclined to believe

CHAPTER 23 / 46 Discussion

Planned Parenthood Videos, White House Defense

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest defended Planned Parenthood following the release of undercover videos showing the discussion of fetal tissue harvesting. Earnest claimed the videos were "fraudulent" and "heavily edited," despite admitting he had not watched them personally. The timing of the videos coincides with Senate budget hearings where Republicans like Rand Paul are calling for the organization's defunding.

planned parenthood· josh earnest· rand paul· fetal tissue· undercover video

1:28:14 the Trump douchebag thing was the real target. It just coincidentally stepped on top of the other story? Well, the Planned Parenthood... The reason these videos are coming out is apparent to me now because Health and Human Services is in front of the Senate right now. Yes, in front of Senate justifying their new budget so the timing of those videos coming out be an order for a bunch of senators like Rand Paul Well, who else? Well Dr. Ben who's not a senator he is a presidential hopeful and Cruz all coming out and say we're going to defund Planned Parenthood that timing is impeccable so now we know why these videos were timed to be released right now without a doubt I would agree with that And I have a clip here from

1:29:03 Josh Earnest, spokesman for the White House who of course is defending Planned Parenthood in a very sad and pathetic way. I suspect somebody has. Oh, somebody has. Where are you getting your information? You know they're all looking at it and be like hey! It is a hand I can see your hand The latest video John which is...it's getting thin because they're re-editing the putting in pieces from previous videos And you can't hear them They have to...It's not audible enough to play as a clip One of the people stirring around on this pie dish on the light box Looking oh yeah First you here crunch

1:29:46 I swear to God. What if that was sweetened? No, only they should have done that but you hear the crunch and oh yes i've got the brain so they just crunch the skull then this is the pie dish it looks like just a pile of gooey vomit And then they're poking around and then one of them actually says, oh look it's a boy. Like come on It's in the show notes if you have the stomach for it But I watch it so you don't have to that's what The No Agenda Show does we Unlike The White House apparently We do watch these yes and They like Oh maybe somebody has yeah I guess so I suspect somebody else I suspect Somebody

1:30:28 I wouldn't watch that vile crap! Getting your information, the fact that it's fraudulent or the fact that they're distorted and edited unfairly. Based on public comments of Planned Parenthood who has indicated that... ...the views that are represented in the video are entirely inconsistent with the- with that organization policies and with a high ethical standard that they live up to Since when? Since when?! does our governing body, when an organization that the governing body funds is being accused of misappropriation and egregious practices since when do we just say well they said it didn't do it good enough for me? Would you would be unfair to say that you're simply taking your

1:31:16 talking points from Planned Parenthood on these videos? Well, again I guess I would suggest that you consult with Planned Parenthood for the details of their policies. And I'm merely repeating what they've said and has been reported publicly about them. Yeah but that's how the news works! You're just not talking forward... Just merely repeating what they've said But I'm certainly not the only person to arrive at this conclusion. There are a number of others who have taken a look at those videos and raised significant doubts about their authenticity based on the way that they were edited. It's disgusting what these guys do.

1:32:11 Yeah, you can watch the whole video. It's boring. You don't have to watch the edited video. You can watch a real video and you're going to find that it is not highly edited. Deceptively, dishonestly edited. Dishonesty... yeah those are all different words. Yeah its just a meme And they certainly are consistent with the frequently stated policy of Planned Parenthood. No, they're not! I watched the raw video no they're not. And i think that's why many many people who've taken a look at this situation have arrived in the same conclusion and described the videos the same way that I have And finally, has any representative of Planned Parenthood contacted members of the White House about these videos? Have they raised a concern about these videos with the White House? I wouldn't be surprised if that's taken place but i'm not aware of any specific conversations. Not aware of any specific conversations Yeah he is useless Well...I find it

CHAPTER 24 / 46 Discussion

HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell, Senate Budget Testimony

Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell testified before the Senate regarding the department's budget and its $500 million annual funding of Planned Parenthood. Burwell claimed she had not seen the undercover videos but asserted that grantees must certify they follow laws regarding fetal tissue. Representative Phil Roe, an obstetrician, criticized the Secretary for the "ghoulish" nature of the practices described in the footage.

sylvia burwell· hhs· planned parenthood· medicaid· fetal tissue

1:33:09 I just can't believe that these guys just repeat whatever is said. They should at least say, hey you know we're gonna look into it well actually the Senate is looking into it and the Senate had a this is the budget conversation with our new Health and Human Services Secretary Burwell Oh hang dog Hang Dog is looking a little ragged. She always does, yeah but her hair... she looks like you don't want to pick on her because she looks like a beaten woman I think it's been purpose Her hair is all dirty and stringy and hashed That's nasty! Did you see this? It looks like she's gonna break into tears any minute did you see uh any of this testimony no i did not all right so we'll start with Senator Rowe Is this the row from V Wade

1:34:01 I might be. See, I don't even know this. I should have looked it up. Recently we've seen two videos that showed Planned Parenthood physicians basically having wine and eating a salad bargaining over the harvesting and sale of dismembered baby parts. I found this incredibly offensive to me as a physician and as an obstetrician. Have you seen those videos? I have not seen the videos. I've read the articles about them." How can these people not have seen these videos? It's ridiculous! It's gotta be a lie, it just has to be... They're lying. Yes lies Last week in The Wall Street Journal they reported that you couldn't comment because you hadn't seen it but you need to see those Secretary Burwell Now this guy is an obstetrician

1:34:43 This is a house, right? Yeah. House. I'm sorry this is Representative Rowe. Yes you're right it's not Senator Rowe. As quickly as you can and its only 8 or 10 minutes but you need to look at those videos and see what the rest of us have looked at And given Planned Parenthood which I think is horrific conduct Americans may be troubled to realize that Planned Parenthood gets over $500 million a year through much of it through your shop, through Medicaid and Title X funding. Having said that with the significant financial relationship could you tell us what you've done to investigate these activities?

1:35:20 So, first I would just because it's so related to the budget issues we're discussing today. The rack issue and the backlogs we have put together a strategy that includes it's just because it is such an important issue in appeals. So I just want to make sure there was a budget issue in terms of extending the number people that we can... Do you hear this? This is all about the budget! This was perfectly timed. ...have to review the appeals because there are legal judges that we have to bring in second there are statutory changes and on the Senate side a bill is moving to make changes that will help us in third administrative actions including settlement. So I just want to raise... So there's something going on that we haven't been told? There is something on the Senate side with changes that are being implemented, something is up... ...because it's important. When you go into the broader issue that you've raised with regard to the issue I wanna start by this as an important issue that people have passion deeply on both sides of the issue and whether that's the issues

1:36:16 Whoa! That went pretty quick. She says whether it's for your eyes, to fix your eyes or Down syndrome or religion Dr. Hanlon Yeah, well it says there is a lot of the debate going on about forcing certain religious groups to have to do things against their... Dr. Zaino Like vaccinations in California? Dr. Hanlon Well, vaccinations is one good example by the way Roe versus where's Jane Roe. Dr. Zaino Different Roe I know. I looked that up but it's interesting because we could still have a Roe V HHS and just throw it in there just to bring back a meme but for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to say this is about

1:37:04 saving people from horrible degenerative diseases or religion. It's fuck you lady here. My time is about up I want to have you had any contact with a planned parenthood yet? With regard to the issue of the plan... This issue, yes. I'm sorry? With regard to this issue, this sale of the... No, Planned Parenthood's funding and for the 500 million that you mentioned, I think it was a number that was state number and with regard to Medicaid... She thinks but I think not. ...states those are issues within the amount of money... 41% of their funding comes through federal taxpayers and let me just say before my time runs out because we are in limited time, I found it absolutely amazing

CHAPTER 25 / 46 Discussion

Fetal Tissue Grants, Medical Profession Slang

Secretary Burwell clarified that the NIH provides grants for research involving fetal tissue, but the Department of Justice is responsible for investigating any illegal sales. A side discussion explores the "cavalier attitude" in the medical profession, including the use of nicknames like "vegetables" for certain patients in emergency rooms. The hosts critique the clinical language used by Planned Parenthood officials when discussing fetal remains.

nih· fetal tissue· department of justice· emergency room· medical ethics

1:37:46 that Planned Parenthood could complain about a woman having an ultrasound before she terminates her pregnancy and then uses an ultrasound so they can harvest body parts to be sold for fetal tissue. I found that absolutely astonishing." Now this guy is on board because that is a talking point from the makers of the video So I'm thinking that some of this was coordinated. This guy's an obstetrician, he has the same talking point about Planned Parenthood lobbying against... Yeah yeah yeah, you're right. Okay and then we have Congressman John Klein a Republican from Minnesota what are we going to do? Are we gonna investigate well this is just kick the can over to the left. The Department of Health and Human Services has no intention of looking into this matter

1:38:31 What the Department of Health and Human Services will do, and we didn't discuss it today is with regard to the issue of our grantees. And in the department of NIH part of HHS that does our research there's funding with regard to grantees and some of those grants actually use fetal tissues. With regard to that what we are doing is making sure that what we do have in place which is clarity around the issue of the fact for any of those grantees who are going to be doing that as they come through the process and before we do the grant making, there are terms and conditions that clearly list what the law is with regard to fetal tissue. They need to assert and certify that they understand the laws and that they will abide by that."

1:39:15 I promise. And then on an annual basis with regard to when they re-up the grants, we ask them to certify again that they will obey the laws and terms of conditions in which this is a specific place. So with regards to the piece that interacts with the department these are steps that we are taking to make sure that we have appropriate procedures in place to make sure people know the law and certify that they are abiding by it. With regard to the determination of if a law has been broken,

1:39:56 In those cases, that is the Department of Justice. If there are any concerns at all with our grantees we would want to refer that to our IG and or the Department of Justice depending on those circumstances. Okay so there should be an investigation as far as I'm concerned. And having seen all these videos...and then I find them hilarious! I can't help myself but just laughing because it's it's the cavalier attitude that is that is so disturbing And I know in the medical profession, you know people talk...you know. I know in emergency rooms they give patients names of vegetables and so it's like hey can you go check on a carrot and five because they don't often... I didn't know this. Yes is true yeah Yeah You would get this from someone who works in that arena That's correct So

1:40:48 Only on no agenda. Only on no agenda would you know that patients in the emergency room are named after vegetables for obvious reasons! Some of them actually are vegetables when they come into the emergency room, it's clear. It's sad but it is what it is. But when you hear them talking about oh we hate to have...we hated when there when the patient gives birth right before they do the abortive procedure and they say oh we don't want that, we hate I don't know why. It's all ghouls! It is, it just ghoulish. So the cavalier attitude part of it is just the medical profession which is understandable but the ease that they're talking about changing procedures and you know what tissues good be careful less crunchy you know hey I got a brain look I got a gray oh this great it's a boy we've got another boy swear to God

FCC Consumer Help Center, Tom Wheeler Testimony

FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler testified about standardizing consumer complaint forms and moving to a digital system. Wheeler noted that the previous paper-based system in Gettysburg would send 17 different forms for a single complaint, such as robocalls or commercial loudness. The FCC's IT team recently won an award from AFIRM, an industry-partnered organization, for its transition to cloud computing.

fcc· tom wheeler· cloud computing· robocalls· affirm

1:41:48 Yeah, it's not really great. Onward! A couple of things that I've got picked up... but since we're talking about the government stuff, I ran into this clip with Tom Wheeler and he was giving testimony as the head of the FCC, giving testimony to some, and I don't have this other guy's name but somebody set him up with a question that was a fake question. Wheeler knew and he kind of glorified the question. He made a fuss as though oh it's about time somebody asked me this! So they ask him this question this guy wanted to ask and the guy actually embellishes the answer at some point in there and i want to talk about this because

1:42:32 Wheeler was just joyous that he had found a way to cut extra work out of the processes going on in the FCC, but what he really revealed was something I think quite sinister. nobody has ever picked up on. What you're doing to provide greater information to consumers, including improving transportation... sorry transparency and accountability standardizing forms digitizing the process including the submittal of documents? Boy am I glad you asked that question As we know these questions are usually handed out beforehand and it's all a little bit... It's a scripted show You both support that effort? Yes Can we say bye?

1:43:13 On my first trip to our consumer operation in Gettysburg, I saw in the corner a humongous machine that the staff proudly announced to me could take 17 different forms and put them into one envelope. And I said well why are we sending out 17 different forms? And they said, well because that's the way we do it. So you contact the FCC on a robocall issue and we will send you the form for robocall as well as the form for loudness on commercials as well as the form for every other kind of complaint weekend I said wait a minute

1:43:53 We can do those forms are required to be sent back and the for you know And the concern and I would talk to consumers You know who would say what am i supposed to do with this which form? I suppose to so we now have totally updated it put it on the web. We just want a prize For being one of the best government sites consumer interface sites on the Web huh all right key point You complain about something, they send you 17 forms about other things you can complain about. And according to the guy asking the question he throws that in and they're required to be sent back so what I'm looking at here is stuffing the ballot box on all issues on all issues that you've chosen. Wow! Good one slow clap

1:44:41 You have chosen that you want to do something about loudness of TV commercials. So somebody bitches about something they're bitching about and you throw that form in anyway, and then require them to send it back so you'll probably complain." And now as when you're talking in front of Congress—I think Wheeler's an idiot by the way for bringing this up. So now when you talk before, oh we've got a quarter of a million comments about commercials that are too loud." Now I would like to know what the other 16 forms were because I'll bet you every one of them is in the news at one point or another but they're...these are bogus so we're getting bogus complaints that the FCC can use as leverage when an issue comes up

1:45:22 Oh, we've gotten to 100 thousand people have written in about this. I was appalled. FCC IT team wins federal leadership award for cloud computing from the Association for Federal Information Resource Management's Leadership Award in Cloud Computing. What does that mean? But... I'm not sure. The acronym is AFIRM. Association for Federal Information Resource Management, a firm. And it is the information technology team developed the Consumer Help Center eliminating the previous paper-based system in favor of an online system." So I'm pretty sure that you have to go through the same amount of questions online which... John Maass There'll be something fishy about it. One or two of us or some of our producers are gonna have to go through the process and find out what crap they're pulling at this level

1:46:28 But I'd like to know what the Association for Federal...who runs that? Who's handing out awards, are they just handing out awards themselves as usual? Doesn't everybody? Let's take a look. Affirm, A-F-F-I-R-M, affirm dot org let's see about us where is the about firm let's see who's running this. A nonprofit of course volunteer educational organization whose overall purpose is to improve the management of information and related systems and resources within the federal government Who... they must have leadership. Here we go, leadership. Who's in the leadership? Doesn't really even say- oh! Haha! Here are their partners! Thomson Reuters, NewTek, Mason Harriman Group, Primescape L3 Oracle Wow this is the industry giving itself an award for how great they are abusing government money to build 250 million dollar websites that don't work

Caitlyn Jenner Ratings, Syrian Suicide Belt Accident

Ratings for the Caitlyn Jenner show on E! are analyzed using "Live plus 3" (L3) metrics, showing a 54% increase over same-day numbers but overall lower-than-expected interest. In a separate news item, Fox & Friends hosts Tucker Carlson and Clayton Morris are criticized for laughing at a video of a Syrian suicide belt accidentally exploding. The video reportedly shows members of the Takfiri terror group being killed by their own device.

caitlyn jenner· e! network· ratings· tucker carlson· syria

1:47:29 Great job everybody we won an award Fuckers hmm. I was talking to my producer friend that does works for NBC apparently the Caitlyn Jenner show is not Did not perform as well as they know oh really? I thought this is interesting ratings. I don't think they promoted it Well now is it only on e? Yeah, it's an E show. Let's see... Well I have the variety here from two days ago DVR playback Ah so you know this is the little... I want to turn everybody on to the new scam which is a rating called L3 yeah plus three isn't plus three well they said in the business it's called l-three but in the nomenclature that you'll read this as L plus 3

1:48:21 And L plus 3 means it's...and there's an L plus 7. There's L7 too, but nobody has had to resort to that. So L3 ratings they said after the L3s came in on The Caitlyn Jenner Show they were a little more...they were a little relieved but they still weren't happy. Dr. Justin Marchegiani Yeah I have this so its actually live plus three, L3 estimates. IMK averaged at 1.78 rating in 1849. That's roughly 3.9 million viewers overall. 1849, that's bad! That's low... but for cable it's good. That's up 54% from its live plus same-day numbers. It ranked number 11 among all broadcast and cable primetime series for the week in the coveted 1849 demo. Huh? So people just don't care that much." I don't see why they would

1:49:15 Well, there was enough. I think they overhyped it. I think that they... I think you might be right and burned everybody out as possible. Too hard too fast yeah i think so whereas the real funny stuff is on Fox & Friends now on Fox & Friends Is that Natalie Morris's husband? What's his name? Yeah! What's his name? Yeah that guy Jake Jeffrey No he's not Jake Pete Oh man I know him to It's embarrassing I can't say his name Clayton, Clayton, Clayton. Good old Clayton. I wonder what the conversation is at the Morris home? We know Natalie.

1:49:55 Yeah, in fact I would say that you in particular and I helped coach her during her first video appearances We helped her with their hair with her look with everything and you you you in particular. Yeah? I did You identified her as a perfect And she was working at TechCrunch the perfect multi culti host exactly the kind of girl we like to see Yeah, you don't know if she's Italian. She could be Mexican Puerto Rican. You don't know it's perfect. She doesn't know anything If only her eyes were a little more slanty she'd be really in the pocket So she catches just cute. Just so pretty that she had a light go but he was kind of she always was a little Mean I mean she looks like a mean girl little bit She might be not saying she is and just has a little bit that mean girl look to her

1:50:45 It matters not. So Clayton's on the show with, who is the a-hole with the bow tie? Tucker Carlson. He doesn't still wear that stupid tie because it becoming kind of supposedly in vogue again I think he has the bowtie yeah you know ever since Bill Nye is back on the scene and the bowties back so they have this video And they're just laughing about what happens in the video, which to me was ghoulish. We have some other stories making headlines this Saturday so we'll tell you about that. A dose of instant karma for some would-be terrorists watch this Tucker loves it

1:51:33 Okay, I guess it is funny. This video is airing on Syrian television a terrorist suicide belt reportedly exploding by accident the men reported to be from a Syrian based terror group called Takfiri they are said to have claimed responsibility for several attacks across Syria Lebanon and Iraq So you see this video of a bunch of dudes sitting on a couch in there You know that I don't know what they're doing They're singing and then all sudden theres a big explosion These guys are blown to bits. And Tucker Carlson is laughing, Clayton's laughing... It's so funny! I fail to see the humor. Hey, I don't know. There are some elements of all this scene that I don't get but

Connected Car Hacking, Wired Magazine Narratives

The narrative of remote car hacking, popularized by Wired magazine, is dismissed as an "inside job" requiring physical access or manufacturer cooperation. Similar skepticism is applied to stories about "hackable" smart rifles from TrackingPoint. The hosts argue these stories are propagated to secure government funding for cybersecurity initiatives.

wired· car hacking· jeep· tracking point· cybersecurity

1:52:21 You mean the Fox scene or the just a whole those shows been seen yeah news Yeah, showbiz news and comment. You know it's It's always so shallow I mean you brought it up when you had the Molly on earlier in the show buying a good luck stock-and-barrel buying some who works for NPR does she not she works for professional broadcast organization now yes And I was watching one of the shows on one of the networks, a podcasting network and they were so all in on this hacked car which we debunked on our last show.

1:52:59 It's just like, it's embarrassing to say that everybody just wants to be...I mean is this robot-like thing that is a miracle I think that the No Agenda show even exists. I do want to say that Sir Gene was a little bit irked and he was kind of beating me up over in Fort Worth because I guess he had tweeted you about this hack being completely possible And maybe you didn't know that it was him, but you said oh some bonehead on Twitter tweeted me. No I know Gene's tweets if it was someone else and it was a very mean-spirited un-Gene like tweet Because Gene has the car that was hacked and he says absolutely possible

1:53:43 Of course it is if you're done with knowledge from the manufacturer. Yeah, inside job. Hey Gene! You're telling me that some guy sitting in his couch out of the blue can get your identification IP or whatever it's gonna be without doing anything to your car at all and hack it and drive it around? Are you kidding me?! Oh this is not... Trying to trying to smooth things over here. Well, I'm just saying that's what I was bitching about with this other guy He was alluding to the possibility that his car could be hacked remotely right just out of the blue Right so driving along some poor dude. That is a holy shit I can't drive the cars being driven by me and taking me into a truck That's what? I don't know is that's what gene says no the

1:54:31 Okay, well I'm that's what it's what I was bitching about okay. Okay? I'm sure gene has Knows something about these things being you know yes He does yeah, and I take his word for it But there are still I not buying any of those inside job we agree on that but it the it

1:55:09 access and $80,000 and everyone was in on it. We also now have the...was it that rifle that can automatically adjust itself to hit the target every single time? Well! That's hackable now too another fine wired story." It just goes on and on and on. And the only thing I can conclude is it's all intended to have more money made available as these stories propagate through the idiot Congress who are all-in on everything just believe everything like stories about the heat dome etc the heat dome. Now I have a story from an alternative media source, but it is a real news organization there on the ground as very long video about 15 minutes on something that's happening in Haiti. Haiti of course is my wheelhouse ever since the earthquake in Haiti which had questions about to start with don't want to diminish anything with my theories

Haiti Dirt Cookies, Clinton Foundation Funds

Reports from Haiti show citizens in Cité Soleil eating "bonbon terres," or cookies made of dirt, due to extreme poverty. Despite billions in aid sent after the 2010 earthquake, including funds managed by the Clinton Foundation, widespread hunger and cholera persist. The U.S. Ambassador to Haiti has expressed concern over the nutritional lack in these dirt-based patties.

haiti· dirt cookies· clinton foundation· united nations· cholera

1:56:00 But we know that the money didn't arrive, it was stolen and gone missing. We know the Glinton Foundation is implicated in the missing funds... All kinds of shit going down and literally shit because the blue helmets of the United Nations came in gave everybody cholera and there's still hundreds of thousands of people living in tents but to make it just a little bit better Here's what they're eating. They look a lot like pancakes or cookies, the recipe passed down from generations here in Haiti women spend entire days making them grandmothers daughters and younger girls infants are nursed while mothers work the mix kids seem to enjoy them at least when our camera was around

1:56:45 But these patties, known as bonbon terres by the Haitians who eat them are a grim reminder of just how poor this Caribbean nation is. They aren't sweet they're hard to swallow and add almost nothing in terms of nutrition Because the cookies are actually made of dirt. The United States ambassador to Haiti has taken a personal interest in lessening dependence on the cookies." Now hold up, so they're eating dirt and I- it's in the show notes You've gotta see this video! They're stirring up dirt now they do add a little bit of

1:57:22 Any leavening? What is... leavening? Is that to rise the dirt powder? To rise the dirt. So, the ambassador- It's terrible! The ambassador of course is very concerned you'd think I've actually taken members of Congress down to Cite Soleil and they've seen it too What do they say when they see people eating dirt Well..it's worrisome Hey, that's pretty worrisome. They're eating dirt! They're eating dirt!! It's very worrisome and we don't like to see it Since the UN arrived in Haiti in 2006 as peacekeepers nutrition has improved in pockets but the dirt cookies are still being eaten The widespread hunger means hundreds of kids starting another school day in Cité Soleil as the Haitian flag is raised will be reduced to eating dirt

1:58:15 This is the worst story ever. I love this report! And where's Clinton's money? I mean, they sent some flour down there or some rice or something. They have to eat dirt just because they need to fill up on something?! Yeah...I remember this though We just need cash. I know a lot of people want to send blankets serve water Just send your cash That's right, just send your cash Yes, so send dirt So the kids- I got it A screwball story similar Kids can eat dirt Hey, remember we had the big concert that Clooney organized and Bon Jovi? And everyone's like oh! We had a great time. We all texted in our money and the Haitian children are eating dirt. Yeah good work. Congratulations everybody. You were all over that. Yeah everyone changed their Twitter icon which is change it to dirt

Afghanistan Bacha Posh, Secret Third Gender

Journalist Jenny Nordberg's research into "bacha posh"—the Afghan practice of raising girls as boys—is discussed. In a patriarchal society where sons are required for social standing and real estate deals, families without boys often dress a daughter as a son until puberty. International experts were reportedly skeptical of the practice until Nordberg's documentation proved its existence.

afghanistan· bacha posh· jenny nordberg· gender roles· sociology

1:59:06 Yeah, nice brown. Well they're beautiful! So they slap down a piece of mud with a spoon and then they swirl it around so it looks kind of like a discus you know something to throw? A discus to throw and then they just dry it out... They use poop for that. I'm telling ya. Alright which one do you think? I got this story that I thought was unique which is the Afghan boy-girl story and its disgusting What's strange about it, well just play this and we'll talk about it. Vasha Posh, It is secret third gender in Afghanistan to the contrary spoke with Jenny Nordberg journalist and foreign correspondent who uncovered the hidden Afghan practice of raising girls as boys

1:59:53 A bacha posh is a girl who is dressed up as a boy and brought up as a boy, essentially. It means literally dressed-up like a boy in Dari which is Afghanistan's second largest language. Norberg discovered this practice almost accidentally while working on a story on female parliamentarians when interviewing a politician named Azita she was introduced to Azita's son who the family later explained was actually a girl If you're without a son, you're seen as weak. And you are not only seen as weak, but in fact weak and may have a harder time negotiating alone or getting a job or real estate. Think of it like an old traditional conservative patriarchal society so if you don't have a son it's almost better to make one up

2:00:42 Before Nordberg's research and investigation, nothing had been written about this tradition she turned to international experts. They were skeptical that the practice existed. You have to remember that this is one of the most conservative societies on earth. The story itself was a Oh, interesting to a point. But what got me about this story is that this has never been discussed it's never been written in all these international experts and they showed a bunch of buildings of all these Afghan you know help Afghanistan groups and some people with the microphone

2:01:18 They, this doesn't exist. Never nothing like this exists." In other words the experts the sociologists anthropologist I'm not sure what you want to call them advertising these experts didn't have a clue about this which tells me they probably haven't got a clue about anything So why are we dealing with or doing...it's beyond me that we even involve ourselves with these people, the experts that is. Or the Afghanistanis for that matter? I think Brian Seacrest is just a brilliant guy and he's expanding this format everywhere. I am Fariba. Nice! Good work! Anyway so I found it very annoying clip. There's another good one

Baltimore Homicide Spike, Police Back-off Theory

Baltimore recorded 43 murders in July, the deadliest month in the city's history since the 1970s. The spike in violence follows the riots sparked by the death of Freddie Gray and the subsequent firing of the police chief. Analysts suggest the increase in crime is a result of police "backing off" in response to increased scrutiny and legal charges against officers.

baltimore· freddie gray· homicides· black lives matter· police

2:02:05 Baltimore, which we talked about on and off. I was thinking they're doing everything they can to get rid of the mayor and now we have this story cropping up, the Baltimore murders. The number of homicides in Baltimore soared to a level not seen in more than four decades. 43 murders were recorded in the month of July, making it the third most deadly month and that city's history at the same time non-fatal shootings have reached 366 this year compared to 200 at the same time last year despite killings comes three months after riots erupted

2:02:41 in response to the death of Freddie Gray, who died in police custody. Yeah there's a big Twitter war going on between the hashtag Black Lives Matter and hashtag All Lives Matter which is just disturbing to watch Yes it is well the whole thing is disturbing but what's going on in Baltimore besides trying to get rid of this mayor they've already gotten rid of the police chief And I was thinking that this whole thing is about that. And we have to remember that murders in the United States have been on a steep decline for the last 10, 15 years and she's saying this is the most than 40 years which tells me one thing which is the obvious real conclusion you can draw is that the cops

2:03:27 Say you get arrested a bunch of our brothers for this trumped up thing, the accident that happened in the back of the van. We're going to do... Here's the kind of job we're going to do for you if you want to let things get out of control." We'll just back off. I think it's time for the true hashtag which i think should be no agenda hashtag. We should have art forward etc The truth of the matter and I said that specifically is No Lives Matter Hashtag no lives matter. That's very funny. I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda, imagine all the people who could do that! Oh yeah that'd be fab! On NO AGENDA morning... We do have a few people to thank for show 744

NASA Kepler Mission, Light Meter Technology

An engineer's note clarifies that NASA's Kepler satellite does not use a traditional camera but a light meter to detect variations in stellar brightness. These "dips" in light are used to estimate the diameter and orbit of potential planets, but other details reported by NASA are characterized as supposition. The segment questions the validity of NASA's claims regarding habitable "Earth-like" planets.

Christopher Foster in Houston Texas 8282... Oh this is good note I have to read this! I've just heard some detail about your analysis of NASA's Kepler mission at SHO 742. I've talked to some engineers at Ball Aerospace who built the satellite and its main detector is not a camera such as you would see on a spy satellite which we were joking about. Okay

2:05:15 Its sensor is a light meter and it measures small variations in the light of a star. Based on the magnitude of a drop of a star's light, the Kepler team estimates the diameter of our planet that is blocking the light from stars across as in front of it and based on the duration frequency to drop in like they can estimate the distance of the orbit anything else NASA reports about the planet is complete supposition and fiction Oh, there's a new big giant planet we can all live on. It seems like a waste of money to me and it was like the Kepler that found this planet but now we find out that that's not what the Kepler does so more NASA lies. Lies! NASA lies.

Bin Laden Family Jet Crash, Blackbushe Airport

A private Embraer 300 jet carrying relatives of Osama bin Laden crashed at Blackbushe Airport in England, killing four people. Aviation analysis suggests the pilot overshot the runway, which is relatively short for that aircraft type, and failed to execute a go-around. Despite the high-profile nature of the passengers, the incident is attributed to pilot error rather than conspiracy.

I know Blackbush Airport, I have landed there and taken off from there it is right next door to Farmboro airport not far from Fair Oaks where back when the money was good and had a real job where i had an aircraft... Good times

2:13:34 So this is an Embraer 300. It needs the entire runway to land. This is not a very long runway, Blackbush and the thing that's curious to me and other aviators if you have Farnborough right next door why would you land at Blackbush which I think their runways 1029 meters? The Embraer pretty much needs 990 meters as a full landing and roll so you'd be at the end And it seems like a pilot error, just the bad day. Maybe he's just identified the wrong airport that happens with commercial pilots once in awhile. That happens a lot certainly happens in that area but according to the ATC transcripts everything I've seen

2:14:20 that did not happen. He just floated, he floated over the runway and saw he wasn't going to make it there is no overrun area this has been discussed many times they actually it was a car show that was taking place right on the other side of the fence. Night Car! It seems like the pilot wanted to do a go around but he was too late didn't have the speed The undercarriage clipped the fence and he never made it. And just, you know... disintegrated right into the earth right there so a day wrecker is what we call that in aviation Bad day sir! Bad Day As much as I'd love to bring in all kinds of conspiracy theories Can't do it That's what we do on this show We go with what we've got You don't start making stuff up like some of the other shows

CHAPTER 35 / 46 Discussion

Republican Strategist, End of the Day Record

A Republican National Committee strategist is highlighted for using the phrase "at the end of the day" three times in 27 seconds during a television interview. The segment mocks the linguistic crutch common in political commentary. A montage of various public figures using the same phrase is played to emphasize its ubiquity in media.

rnc· donald trump· linguistic habits· gop· political strategy

2:15:06 I do have an interesting clip that I want to get out of the way. This is the New World's record, this is a guy who was being interviewed on one of the shows he is the strategist for the Democratic National Committee and he may be the strategist for the Republicans never mind he's the strategists for the Republican National Committee And he has set a record for saying at the end of the day Somehow he's managed to do it with, you'll see here play and you'll hear an out. Final question if I might on the Donald thus far as of right now has he been a positive or negative influence on the GOP process?

2:15:48 Well, look. I think when we have 16 candidates that kind of are all over the spectrum on a lot of things it's good for the party and the reason i say that is at the end of the day the more people that are paying attention the more people who are involved in this process its good for the party brings more eyeballs to brings more attention to the race at the end of the day whether Donald Trump Ben Carson Rand Paul Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush. All of these people are bringing more and more people into the Republican Party and some of them come from different perspectives and it makes our party at the end of the day much much stronger as we head into a general election

2:16:25 Okay, yeah now we're dealing with a record of three end of the days within 27 seconds Yes in other words because I had a time down and look at how Dasty and I've got it marked off So he says that the end of the day every nine seconds. Yeah Wow That's pretty good. I was impressed But at the end of the day they're backing them you know their backing come on At the end of the day, John. If someone wants to get anyone they can get... At the end of the day it's more important that we have entertainment So at the end of the day who is going to pay for the real loan? It's gonna be taxpayer money. Because at the end of the day thats gonna up to Valerie Jarrett No, the guy is certainly not alone John But I will play the full End Of The Day clip as an End Of Show Clip

2:17:19 Good. And I think you used to, you don't say it much but you used to say it But not at a record clip. No, no it may be twice as show maybe I'm catching myself saying It's funny a lot though that's that's what you call me saying in on today show and I didn't know I was saying it so there you go That's the way it goes Thanks Fletcher I Caught something from Dempsey Dempsey was talking to a whole bunch of kids. I saw this Dempsey and the kids, and then he sings a song hey wait a minute That's a great children's TV show

CHAPTER 36 / 46 Discussion

General Martin Dempsey, Humility and Success

General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke to children about humility and success, comparing resilience to the song by Chumbawamba. Dempsey's "fruit salad" of medals and his tendency to sing during public appearances are noted. The hosts critique the scripted nature of the "Dempsey and the kids" segment.

martin dempsey· joint chiefs of staff· humility· chumbawamba· uptown funk

2:18:00 And now everybody it's time for Dempsey and the kids! General Dempsey, how do you define your success? I don't know. He's so funny. Oh you want me to extrapolate on that? And he sitting there with his full-on medals... ...he's got the Bakelite nameplate Yeah, he's got the bakelite. He's got the massive fruit salad on this chest Yes please Okay No, it's a great question. Um... No it's not! Not a great question. It works at a whole bunch of levels obviously the things I'm proud of about myself although you know pride is kind of counter to humility which I think is the greatest

2:18:45 virtue of all and senior leaders, but I am proud of being a soldier. And not much more than that meaning it's not about the you know the stars." I found this quite rich that he saying is not about the stars here is a was he four or five-star general? Four! Not about the stars as he sits there with his uniform which he determines we We've been through this many times. He designs, he determines what he's wearing It's not about the stars but that's why his jacket must weigh 40 pounds with all that stuff Still no as bad as Petraeus come on Yeah but you know the nameplate, the Bakelite nameplate and everything it is about the stars you dood Although that surprises people sometimes But its really not about the stars I'm proud of being a soldier, I'm proud to be in a husband and I'm proud of being a father

2:19:34 Do you think failure plays a part in that success? This is interesting because I think it is interesting. He needs to think about it and the question is, you know, is failure or part of your success and he has very interesting way of buying time. Did you hear the question? Would you say something to make sure they can hear it. Can you just say something, maybe he would just say it again... Oh I like this! He had to think about it and I believe this to have been scripted, I believe this to have been a planted question This is why he's asking for it again. He forgot his line. Sorry Do you think that failure plays apart in that success

2:20:16 failure plays a part in every success I mean you know life and you've experienced it already, I'm sure. You know overcome your own challenges and got back... like Chumbawamba! I get knocked down and then I get up again right? But uh..I am trying to connect with the kids here. Well look at their age if don't want me break out into Uptown funk you up do ya?! believe me just watch I think the kid show is good for him. Kids like him, he's a leprechaun guy. He likes to sing, he's always singing. I've never heard him sing! Have we had him sing before? Yes, a number of years ago when somebody clipped him out at some meeting or something and went into song and on this thing he went into his favorite song about Unicorn World or something in the end. Uptown Funk

2:21:15 He's Irish, is what he thinks. He should be singing all the time! Where do you get that from? I don't have a clip of him singing in the archive at least but oh, I almost did keep that clip of him singing the thing at the end. I wish we'd had that but it was it wasn't yeah You know wasn't dad entered he's not that good of a singer no ho she kind of see kind of toxic songs No He's not good at all. Oh, no so now there was a thing that somebody brought up shows and shows ago about Hulk Hogan an and Hulk Hogan who's been kicked out of the Wrestling Federation for something he said a decade ago. What did he say? He used the N-word! Oh, okay... So they want to get rid of him. Our guy says to me or one of our producers you know this is a cover up some smoke screen for something else that is not even gonna get any traction I don't think it didn't get any traction and I didn't think was a smoke screen but it came up again in the clips And there was a new term

CHAPTER 37 / 46 Discussion

Hulk Hogan, Toxic Speech Consequences

Hulk Hogan was scrubbed from the WWE website and Hall of Fame after a transcript leaked featuring him using racial slurs eight years ago. Hogan's lawyer, David Houston, stated there are "consequences for utilization of toxic speech." The term "toxic speech" is identified as a potential precursor to new hate speech laws in the UK and US.

hulk hogan· wwe· toxic speech· racism· brook hogan

2:22:16 a show title term that is in this clip and I was, and I think we have to play it because it really invites a lot of discussion at least in the long-term sense. Hulk Hogan has been terminated literally erased from the WWE website all references to the legendary wrestler have also been scrubbed from the Wrestling Hall Of Fame now Hogan himself is speaking out about his sudden fall from grace admitting to having made racist slurs several years ago a stunning blow for wrestling icon Hulk Hogan. The WWE has fired him following a leaked transcript in which Hogan uses the n-word because his daughter Brooke was supposedly dating a black man. I'm standing here in the ring right in the middle of all view and with another great hero

2:23:04 The beloved wrestler who has famous fans like Arnold Schwarzenegger is now speaking out about his abrupt fall from grace. Eight years ago I used offensive language during a conversation, it was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language there is no excuse for it he goes on to apologize I am disappointed with myself It's not the first time Hulk has taken heat for using a racial slur Listen to this interview clip from 2012 we found on YouTube. You know they're all calling me s*** and I'm like, and then I started saying it you know? And I always said it just but now all of a sudden I get heat when I say it We spoke to his lawyer David Houston He is the first one to admit there are consequences for utilization of toxic speech It's not who he is

2:23:55 Hogan's daughter Brooke defended him today saying if you knew the dad I knew, you'd know his tender heart. The death of Sandra Bland continues to anger... That's good. Alright. Right. Consequences for using toxic speech. Nice! I just heard that and it was... That's a show title, Toxic Speech Yes that is what i was thinking about at the same time This is horrible concept Yeah It'll become a law. You can't use toxic speech, it will start in the UK first. Exactly! That's how it always goes You know, I caught a little quid pro quo thing that i wanted to bring up. We played on Thursday the clip where we had the Prime Minister...the Foreign Minister from Australia, the hottie who is apparently universally hated at least by producers of this show who checked around by Australians they do not like her and find it to be creepy um this was the United Nations Security Council vote for a tribunal regarding

CHAPTER 38 / 46 Discussion

Malaysia MH17 Tribunal, TPP Trade Negotiations

A perceived "quid pro quo" is identified between Malaysia's push for a UN tribunal on flight MH17 and its status in trade talks. Shortly after Malaysia initiated the vote—which Russia vetoed—the U.S. State Department removed Malaysia from a list of countries with poor human trafficking records. This move clears the path for Malaysia to participate in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

mh17· malaysia· russia· tpp· human trafficking

2:24:59 flight MH17, which was downed over Ukraine with the Dutch in it. And I thought the Dutch had initiated this but no it was Malaysia who initiated the tribunal vote and no sooner did they do that...and of course we knew that Russia would veto and make him look like a-holes which is the entire point no one expected this to pass on the tribunal to be created but two days later The State Department took Malaysia off a list of countries who have egregious human trafficking records, clearing the path for their participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations. So I think this is a quid pro quo. Hey show us whether you guys really mean it!

2:25:42 Do something for us, and then we'll take you off and bring you into the negotiations. Are you saying that they... You think that this of course is a big giant scam for the actual purpose of embarrassing Russia? What, The Tribunal or yeah! Well, of course it was. So the whole thing is just about okay? Yeah I'm telling you Snowden Mm-hmm They keep him this is gonna continue well Let's stick with with f Russia and with Syria now very quietly there are two things that have happened I don't know if you brought any of your clips on there yeah, I think you had them on the previous show There are two things that are not being discussed properly anywhere as far as I can tell one is we now have

2:26:26 a no-fly zone in northern Syria. This is the start, this is what they always wanted, they wanted the no fly zones... Yeah because there's so many because of the damned ISIS jets! The air force that ISIS has you need to know fly zone. The Toyota jets. So we have that and then We have the Turks bombing the Kurds And this is just not being discussed at all. Well, one of the things that's not being discussed and I do have a clip for this... Because i think i know what's going on? Well there's ISIS Turkey and one of the things would be to hear what you have to say but the one thing that never has been discussed at all and even Amy Goodman won't mention the PYD What is PYD? Well play ISIS Turkey in the PYD Is it a Michael Jackson song? Yeah!

CHAPTER 39 / 46 Discussion

Turkey Bombing Kurds, ISIS Supply Lines

Turkey's military actions in northern Syria are analyzed as a campaign against Kurdish groups like the PYD and PKK rather than ISIS. President Erdogan is accused of allowing ISIS to target Kurdish strongholds like Kobani to prevent the formation of an independent Kurdish state. The "people pipeline" for ISIS recruits is noted to run directly through the Turkish border.

turkey· kurds· pyd· pkk· isis· erdogan

2:25:42 Do something for us, and then we'll take you off and bring you into the negotiations. Are you saying that they... You think that this of course is a big giant scam for the actual purpose of embarrassing Russia? What, The Tribunal or yeah! Well, of course it was. So the whole thing is just about okay? Yeah I'm telling you Snowden Mm-hmm They keep him this is gonna continue well Let's stick with with f Russia and with Syria now very quietly there are two things that have happened I don't know if you brought any of your clips on there yeah, I think you had them on the previous show There are two things that are not being discussed properly anywhere as far as I can tell one is we now have

2:26:26 a no-fly zone in northern Syria. This is the start, this is what they always wanted, they wanted the no fly zones... Yeah because there's so many because of the damned ISIS jets! The air force that ISIS has you need to know fly zone. The Toyota jets. So we have that and then We have the Turks bombing the Kurds And this is just not being discussed at all. Well, one of the things that's not being discussed and I do have a clip for this... Because i think i know what's going on? Well there's ISIS Turkey and one of the things would be to hear what you have to say but the one thing that never has been discussed at all and even Amy Goodman won't mention the PYD What is PYD? Well play ISIS Turkey in the PYD Is it a Michael Jackson song? Yeah!

2:27:20 This is Turkey and the PYD. Pretty young ding. But I disagree with Frank in the following sense, I think the Turks are very much opposed to the PYD they do not see a difference between the PYD and the PKK when you look at the Turkish press especially the government press and the press that supports Erdogan these are the people who keep saying that the PYD is worse than ISIS That if they had a choice They would rather fight the PYD then ISIS And when ISIS tried to overrun Kobani, the Syrian Kurdistan, Erdogan and the Turkish government made it very, very clear that they wanted the town to fall to ISIS.

2:28:05 Erdogan went after us, basically saying what's in Kobani? Oil? Gold? Diamonds. So I think the Turks may be telling us they see a difference between the PYD and the PKK but they're not. OK well let me just magnify that idea that Turkish government wanted ISIS to take Kobani Because and the argument you make is that that's because they were allied with Isis on this and no With anybody not because they're because they relied but rather because to them a Kurdish entity in northern Syria is Anathema, because that essentially makes the Turkish

2:28:44 Kurds stronger in their bargaining position, in terms of the potential of having two independent Kurdish states. One in Iraq and one in Syria That's a fear that is strategic for the Turks ISIS is not I found that fascinating. Yeah, well you want to extrapolate? Well the PYD is actually another Kurdish group that is a labor party of some sort and they are nasty the way the Kurds in Iraq are and they're allied in some ways with the PKK but not like...they're not the same group

2:29:20 And so, somehow when we do analysis of this whole thing we're not paying attention because the PYD is a distinct different group than they were the ones that...that's the Kurds that the Turks have been bombing. Even though they do hit the PKK once in awhile but it's just this other group that they're targeting because they don't want these guys to...because they think they may be a catalyst Because there's three Kurdish groups. There is one in Iraq, which we all know about they own have all these oil wells and then there is the PKK which we all know about because it causing trouble in Eastern Turkey and there's a third one I think might be a catalyst to that whole area would be like a giant Kurdistan and the Turks are freaked out. I think what were seeing though, were seeing the Kurds right underneath Turkey their Northern Iraq, they're being corralled as it

2:30:11 the arms, all...because you know these ISIS guys they need stuff. They need stuff to operate. They need ammunition and supply lines." Well there's another couple of clips which I don't have only have this one that brought forward discussing how the Turks had made a pipeline of people who in fact if we paid any attention which we've done about what is going on in England and the United States when people say, ''I'm gonna go fight with ISIS,'' they always go to Turkey!

CHAPTER 40 / 46 Discussion

Joe Biden Presidential Run, Gaff-Making Machine

Vice President Joe Biden is reportedly "90% in" for a 2016 presidential run, fulfilling a wish of his late son, Beau Biden. ABC News reports that Biden's chief of staff is already talking to donors to clear a path for the campaign. Media coverage frames Biden's history of verbal "gaffs" as part of his "political charm" as he prepares for a potential third White House bid.

joe biden· 2016 election· abc news· gaffs· jill biden

2:30:58 Then you can walk right down. Escort them right down to the border and here you go, you're in! Yeah and then you can see it on the map You can see this is beautiful buffer zone where we just walk right down not a problem And you go wherever you need to go and that's the pipeline The people pipeline supply line for ISIS is all I can imagine yeah because the Turks are on Isis' side Why why is this not being reported? Well that guy kind of reported it Not really. Well, okay a little bit...a little bit..alright I just want to do a couple clips about the United States presidential run. I accidentally played your clip so i'm going to play it again right here. And we turn now to politics 17 Republicans in the race for the White House and tonight another Democrat may be on the horizon Joe Biden while the Vice President

2:31:53 The president has not indicated whether he will run. An advisor tells our John Carl, he believes Biden is quote 90% in. Biden has said he would decide by the end of summer. Yeah I'm quite sure he's in. Oh he's in! This is apparently his dying son's wish for Joe to run and Joe's looking good. I like the way he comes down off of Air Force Two with his wife, the professor there and Mary Ann what's her name? Jill Professor Jill He's got the dark aviator sunglasses on, you know it was like striding down. You gotta admit... He has a big smile! He's got the big smile he's got the head that can open up and come off. It has been opened a couple of times they can put stuff in there but a new chip in this is ABC who are all-in This morning Joe Biden isn't saying yes but he isn't saying no to possible run at The White House

2:32:47 His political machine is gearing up. ABC News has learned the vice president's chief of staff is quietly talking to Biden supporters and Democratic donors, clearing the way for a possible presidential campaign. The Vice President hasn't indicated yet if he's in or out But it's no secret he is interested. Biden is an experienced campaigner, if he runs it would be his third attempt at the White House but he also had a fair share of stumbles from back rubs to BFDs

2:33:25 Biden is a gaff making machine. But those oh that Joe moments are part of his political charm, political charm is a gaff making or gas make Gaff Gaff making machine as part of his political charm and I cannot wait. I would love to see Trump against Biden sparks living in a dream world. I admire what you think thank you Thank you well then we go on to assistant no Deputy State Spokeshole Man, ever since they got rid of the girls at the State Department. Those press briefings are brutal! Oh they're terrible. You know you've got what's his name? The...the Schwammy guy? The Schwarmem? Shwackum? Shwackum guy? The Kirby and now this guy Mark Toner and he is going to try and run some interference on Hillary Clinton's emails which now we know pretty much for sure

CHAPTER 41 / 46 Discussion

Hillary Clinton Emails, Rudy Giuliani Criticism

Rudy Giuliani called for a federal investigation into Hillary Clinton for obstruction of justice and destroying government property regarding her private email server. The State Department continues to run interference, claiming that while classified material was found, it was not marked classified at the time. Giuliani argues that Clinton's conflicts of interest and deleted emails make her unelectable.

hillary clinton· rudy giuliani· emails· classified· state department

2:34:19 There were classified, it was classified material and she's a liar. She's a liar! A little liar. Been Uma Abedin emails all over the place she was overpaid and knew it It just...it's a mess. I don't want to necessarily relitigate that. That server you know the contents are now being held in a with her lawyers in a con- in a um... I love that misspeak Do you think he wanted to say conference room? Play again Maybe confidential, someone's conference room. Being held with her lawyers in a secure setting. Conference room? And she shared with us all of the contents that she deemed relevant. Interesting point of order coming up!

2:34:59 uh... and so we're going through those but i don't wanna that have a long works mark in the u.s.c nineteen twenty four how you supposed to handle classified information another secretary clinton or lawyer should have access to classified information from us up to five again we've and then if i haven't been clear on this you know today we've not seen any classified information that should have been classified at the time. Yeah, everything's been classified after the fact these guys just brilliant Just brilliant. So Hillary is unelectable at this point, just unelectable. Certainly if you ask Rudy Giuliani, Republican of the first order... You can't run on your accomplishments as Secretary of State and not take a position on the Keystone Pipeline I mean this is absurd it's like playing a game with the American people and I think it is feeding into this very growing majority of people who feel she's dishonest

2:35:52 I believe she should be under investigation by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, for obstruction of justice. For destroying government property I think it's destroying government property because she deleted the emails, I guess. Yeah! It was clear that she had a conflict of interest her husband getting hundreds of millions of dollars She's making decisions about companies and about corporations that he's getting money from and they-I think they file a joint tax return I'd have her under investigation for about five different crimes right now And i think it's outrageous The Justice Department is not moving forward with this. Nice! They brought Giuliani out as a hatchet man, and he's doing a great job good Yeah Well that's what he did. He's a Gal Gadot Milliken and He's a he is a hatchet man That's what he was known for so I got elected in the first place He's very very good district attorney kick-ass guy who managed to be you know it was very intimidating yeah And he sounds authoritative if they're bringing him out

CHAPTER 42 / 46 Discussion

Huma Abedin, Anthony Weiner Marriage Theory

A theory is presented regarding the marriage of Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner, suggesting it served as a "marriage of convenience" to provide cover for Abedin's close relationship with Hillary Clinton. The hosts discuss Edward Kessler's book on the Clintons and the psychological frustration that may have led to Weiner's public scandals. Abedin's role in the Clinton inner circle remains a focal point of political scrutiny.

huma abedin· anthony weiner· hillary clinton· edward kessler· secret service

2:36:51 She's toast. The story is coming out now in Daily Mail, which has a huge US presence. We are on the lookout for a book from a let's see what his name Kessler this guy is Kessler who was Kessler? He is an expert on the Secret Service, means nothing. But his book is about the relationship between the Clintons... It's a relationship of business. Didn't we have clips of this guy already? This book isn't new! I think it's a forthcoming book. Let me just check. I think so. There IS a headbook that came out. Oh no, I think you're right. Was this Energizer?

2:37:35 I don't remember the name, but I do know that book came out. We had clips from him and he is out to get the Clintons." Well his publisher or someone's doing a good job because there are more stories about they just have a marriage of convenience and right along with that comes now the news that Uma Abedin who I truly believe is Hillary's lover Yes, you've been very consistent with this. And I would like to explain that just briefly so people understand. Uma Abedin is married to Anthony Weiner. Anthony Wiener was a councilman in New York... and a pervert!

2:38:15 And I interviewed him back in the day, in the MTV days. It was some genius idea by the cable gods who said let's have this hip young MTV guy interview this hip young up-and-coming guy then we'll do that on CNN it'd be really cool So I knew not, I was completely oblivious to all of this. But part of the package was for me to also interview Chuck Schumer who has always been Wiener's man. You know he's... Yeah, he's been the mentor. The mentor right? And he is going to replace Schumer that way we saw it eventually That was the idea and the way it worked as the Clintons and this is just my deconstruction and investigation on the topic. I don't have any actual proof but

2:38:57 Bill Clinton officiated their marriage between Anthony Weiner, a Jew and Uma Abedin, a Muslim. Interesting right there. And all he had to do was shut up don't bump it...he was a made man! Just shut up just play along you could be your own little... He was arrogant too. He always had a big mouth. Right? He used to run in front of Congress and then scream at them because he thought he was all that in the bag of chips And the whole point was, listen you just keep up this fake marriage so that Uma could be Hillary's lover and we've got cover. You'd be the beard boy!

2:39:36 And what happens with men, you know...you're in a fake relationship. You're extremely frustrated because you're living a lie and you are not having sex with this beautiful woman so it's like the blood drains from the brain and goes into your penis and sends a picture! And then you gotta show somebody! Yeah look at it! Look at this thing Look, look. So I'm pretty sure that happened and now she's being pulled into the controversy apparently if she was overpaid which is a minor...oh gee someone in government being over-overpaid huh shocked I am who would have thunk that right? Oh and another important data point as we both noticed Hillary's hair

CHAPTER 43 / 46 Discussion

Bernie Sanders vs. Socialism, Elizabeth Warren Theory

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz struggled to define the difference between a Democrat and a Socialist during an interview with Chris Matthews. Bernie Sanders is viewed as a "shill" to engage Millennial voters who may later be directed toward Elizabeth Warren if Clinton's campaign falters. The hosts argue that the modern Democratic party has become indistinguishable from socialist movements.

bernie sanders· debbie wasserman schultz· elizabeth warren· socialism· dnc

2:40:21 About dynamite it looked at her most recent appearance this her hair was done by John Barrett He is the celebrity stylist. Now, we thought it was Pierre from Dessange in France and Paris. One of the articles I read about her $600 haircut... Yep that's the one Was that she does have a couple of go-to guys and one of them is in Europe And I believe that's the Paris guy Yeah from Dessange But this guy's better John Barrett who his salon is at Bergdorf Goodman You cannot have any more high end than Bergdorf And he charges $600 for a cut and blow dry. But I'll say dynamite really, really looked good. Okay then finally this was...this is rather interesting this is Chris Matthews on MSNBC and he was talking to Debbie Wasserman Schultz and she is the chairperson of the Democratic National

2:41:28 what is it? DNC Congress Committee. Yeah, that thing who also determine who will be in the debates, who were part of the television committee, the voting committee... This is why it's all effed up in America if you can't get into debates or on television or at the actual convention itself. If you're not on during prime time then nobody...you don't matter. Bernie Sanders he's a Democrat No, he's the independent. Independent? But he is running as a Democrat because he was a Democrat. And Matthews has a question that Wasserman Schultz can't answer so I'll ask you first what is the difference between a Democrat and a Socialist such as Bernie Sanders could be viewed

2:42:18 There is no difference. You want to have him up there on the stage as a socialist representing the Democratic Party? Do you want him up there? Bernie Sanders has been a good Democrat. Should he speak? Caucuses with the Democrats, of course he should speak! Speak in prime time! He should speak at the Democratic National Assembly. In prime time with everybody watching. Bernie Sanders represents... we are big-time party. So the answer is yes. I said yes but in primetime I don't know what time he should speak. But nobody's watching you mean? No, of course Bernie Sanders should speak in a slot where the appeal that he has across the board, the progressive populist message that resonates deeply and widely with the American people not just with Democrats. Absolutely that should be featured here. The difference between us and Republicans is we really are big tent party. What is the difference between a Democrat and Socialist?

2:43:20 I used to think there was a big difference. What do you think it is? The difference between... A Democrat like Hillary Clinton, and a Socialist like Bernie Sanders. The more important question is what's the difference between being a Democrat and being a Republican. But what's the bigger difference- What's the big difference between a Democrat and a Socialist? You're Chairman of the Democratic Party! Tell me the difference in you and a Socialist. The relevant debate that we'll be having over the course this campaign is what's the difference between a Democrat and a Republican? I think there's a huge difference. I think you're right John There is no difference Well, Chris thinks there's a huge difference according to him. Right? But I thought it was...I don't see it. ...I thought it was cool that she just would not answer the question. Does this mean...? There is no difference. So you agree that the Democrat Party is the socialist party? No, depending on...based on today's definition, it's the same...progressives and socialists are very similar. The similarity...there's too many similarities to...there's no way we can cut with a knife

2:44:21 Let's separate the two. It's like Siamese twins. Well, Bernie Sanders... That's just my opinion I mean, I'm sure somebody else could weasel out of this. I'm all in on it. I agree that I've lived in socialist countries and there are pros but not all that great Bernie Sanders has some interesting takes, you know we've been following him as he is the hero of the Millennials. Hero of the morons! I liked the way they do that by the way We haven't really discussed it in any detail But the way that meme... In fact we started with you being skeptical about him because you were out of the country Correct. I didn't notice it and you missed it but the way they've engineered it

2:45:03 to make him the hero of the millennials, to get them out of their asses so they might actually vote because they didn't vote in the last election. They voted Obama in, he didn't do what they wanted and just stayed home. So now to get them going I think is a shill for the whole system and They're gonna love the guy and he's they're not gonna stay at home because when Warren comes in at the last minute She'll take over his thought process because she thinks just like he does take over his money And then Hillary who will be hopefully forced out of the race all her money will go to Warren, of course Once you have a huge right out of this shoe, right? And there will be no investigation of the Clinton Foundation. I

CHAPTER 44 / 46 Discussion

Bernie Sanders on Gun Control, Second Amendment

Bernie Sanders proposed a "common sense solution" to gun control, advocating for universal background checks and a ban on "assault weapons" not used for hunting. Sanders cited his experience in the rural state of Vermont as a bridge between urban and rural perspectives on firearms. Critics argue his stance fundamentally misunderstands the purpose of the Second Amendment.

2:45:51 Right. That's your thesis and I love it that Hey, Elizabeth. Hey Pocahontas do would you like some wampum? I'm sorry. See now there's another example of where you'd get fired if we actually worked for somebody. Curry You're off the air! Hold on hotline for him. Off the air what happened to Mr. Curry or Mr. Curry has been put on probation The role of Mr. Curry will now be played by Patty Steele and here's bernie sanders on the second amendment which he has a very unique take on i come from a state which has virtually no gun control again i voted ought to ban certain types of assault weapons i voted to close the guns show loophole and i voted for background instant background checks

2:46:38 and what i said is that a nation we can as a nation we can continue screaming at each other more else we've got to find common ground well what is it what do you think of the government started with his thought unit universal instant background checks nobody should have a gun was a criminal background was involved in domestic uh... abuse situations people should not have guns who are going to hurt all the people were unstable And second of all, I believe that we need to make sure that certain types of guns used to kill people exclusively not for hunting they should not be sold in the United States of America. Now we have a huge loophole now with gun shows that should be eliminated there may be other things that we have to do but coming from a rural state i think i can communicate with folks coming from urban states where guns mean different things than they do in Vermont where it's used for hunting That's what we've got to go... We don't have to argue with each other and yell at each other we need a common sense solution

2:47:30 Common sense solution. If it's not for hunting, it shouldn't be around the I don't think he misunderstood the Second Amendment yeah, I think so too and that's not I don't know Bernie then I don't know how that's gonna It's just this is appeals to a bunch of dummies Yeah The Iran deal is still being Yeah, this is becoming comedic. Well you know what's really comedic? I don't think it got the legs... So whoever put this together had the right idea failed on execution there's a video which includes Jack Black Morgan Freeman Valerie Plame Queen Noor of Jordan

CHAPTER 45 / 46 Discussion

Iran Nuclear Deal, Celebrity Shills Video

A promotional video featuring Jack Black, Morgan Freeman, and Queen Noor of Jordan urges Congress to support the Iran nuclear deal to avoid war. The video, produced by Global Zero, uses "surrealistic food metaphors" and celebrity appeals to target Millennial audiences. The hosts mock the overproduced nature of the clip and the inclusion of former spy Valerie Plame.

2:48:11 Ambassador Thomas Pickering, a combination of politicians and Queen North. Hello beauty! Yes she's gorgeous And I found this video... Jack would you like to hear it? This was actually discussed on a couple of the shows. I was going to follow up and i didn't. I'm glad you did this is another example how the No Agenda show works Oh yes Well except for that That's exactly how the Noah Jones show ends. I walk right in and get with a big setup? Boom! All right, continue with the set up. By the way which reminds me...I can see that you've lost confidence in me because of this...I looked at it, I looked at the clip list and when it said Biden when I was trying to get the Bin Laden thing but you saw Biden and you seen my carelessness with naming clips and you thought they meant Ben Laden No, I misread it as bin laden It was dyslexia

2:49:07 Oh, I'm sorry. I apologize did not mean to do that No i just thought you were just it was a gloss lack of confidence no John I have nothing but full confidence in you Well I do misspell a lot of stuff in these clip names Yeah but I'm used to it In fact could you please just not pay me so much attention to it because I'm used To the neural network of seeing the misspelled names and finding the clip But now your on trying to... I know there's not one misspelling in this whole list No Check it Apparently you've checked it So the idea is the right idea get a whole bunch of celebrities and get some you know hotties like Queen or to say we need this deal

2:49:47 And then this will get everyone on board and does anyone believe that certainly Millennials, do they go out and email or mail or call their representatives? I don't think so. I really doubt that. My experience with the Millennials—and I have, I think is good multiple of what you have—they don't even know you can complain about stuff No, they will. Oh you can do that? Yeah we can do it at WeThePeople.gov and you could get on a or Move.org Or Change.org whatever It's all taking away from the actual method of addressing your representatives I don't know if Milindos ever called the cops Anyway go on I love playing frisbee with my sons! I love the sound of the waves on the Pacific at sunrise I love curling up with a good book

2:50:41 I love to see my grandkids smile. But if Congress sabotages the nuclear deal with Iran... We could be denied the very moments that make our lives worth living! Why? Dude, because we'd be dead. Super dead Like totally fried by a major nuclear bomb, dad. I won't be able to play frisbee with my sons cuz there won't even be a Frisbee The frisbee will be melted. We will be melted! Or worse... Toasted? Yes, Natasha but most people think toast is delicious this would not be that kind of toast it'd be like a really dark unpleasant cloud-of-death toast Whoa whoa we're not actually worried about Iran dropping a nuclear weapon on the United States Holy sh**

2:51:25 Is that- Yes, Jack. It's me Queen Noor from Jordan Look it is true that if Congress sabotages this deal there would be nothing stopping Iran from getting the bomb That would likely spark an arms race throughout the region Precisely Ambassador Pickering Ultimately, we could be forced into a war with Iran. Another dangerous drawn-out and expensive conflict in the Middle East with many lives lost. So wait are you saying that instead of a quick toasting type of death that in war with Iran maybe a lot of people would die much more slowly like if they were put they were put into, say an immense crock pot for a really really long time. Natasha I don't think you need a surrealistic food metaphor to comprehend the sheer recklessness of a war with Iran once the war begins the chances of Iran developing a nuclear weapon would only increase wait a second that's Valerie Plame! Valerie Plame is in this flipping video! Valerie do you know that because your a spy? i'm not going to answer that question Jack... I think what Valerie is saying

2:52:25 is that the agreement currently on the table is the best way to ensure Iran doesn't build a f**k. And it gives the international community unprecedented access, to verify that Iran is keeping up its end of the bargain A strong deal built on international diplomacy is the best way forward and the alternative to that...is war War with Iran is a really bad idea. The worst idea ever! Look, we all love our children and the Iranians love their children. And sh** We've got a deal on the table that keeps us all safe Do me a favor okay? Don't let some hot-headed member of Congress screw that up Because playing politics with our national security is actually not all that funny Call congress tell them support diplomacy It's the only sane solution

2:53:17 And believe me when I say to you, I hope the Iranians love their children too. Stink Bomb them, bomb them and bomb them again! I want a stomp on them, swap them, raid them Okay this is worse than i thought Yeah I know It's too long It's overproducing. What is the point of all this cussing? I don't want to... That's to appeal to the millennials, John. Yes apparently it is stupid! It's really stupid. I wonder who produced this The guy should be taken out to the woodshed

2:54:02 It's extremely stupid. We should find out, let me see... campaign... Yeah let's find out. Iran Jack Black someone sold someone a bill of goods The Guardian Let's see do you see any I wonder who put that together. If someone with Cloud, because they got Queen Noir but maybe if you get Jack Black everyone falls in a line and Morgan Freeman man could that could be any more of a shill for it? He'll show up for anything. I wonder who made that We'll find out into his probably talked about in more detail in variety Okay, we will look at that oh yes varieties are good place to look it up Yeah, that's right

2:54:48 Well, we will stay on the cutting edge. The leading tip? The spearhead of all things evil or dumb Just dumb. Maybe the Norman Lear Foundation You know, could be those guys I'll bet yeah might be on to something with that simple thought For sure our producers will find out for us Oh produced by Global Zero An organization aiming to eliminate all nuclear weapons Okay i'l look into that I'll have that for you Thursday That's a fun one see who was on the board there Who was doing what? Alright John thank you for your courage
