About this episode

Adam Curry launches the I Love Laundry Tour from McKinney Falls State Park, broadcasting from a mobile Airstream Flying Cloud 23D to test the limits of T-Mobile and Verizon connectivity. The technical maiden voyage coincides with a bizarre invitation to an ObamaBot dinner featuring Mayan code scientist Dave Stewart and McDonald Observatory’s Carolyn Porter. As the mobile rig heads toward Yellowstone, the hosts analyze the intersection of high-level science, government-aligned social circles, and the logistics of remote broadcasting.

The media landscape shifts following the WDBJ on-air shooting of Alison Parker and Adam Ward by Vester Flanagan. Analysis of the event reveals anomalies, including the professional acting background of Andy Parker and the performative scrapbook presentation by anchor Chris Hurst. Meanwhile, Walmart announces the discontinuation of semi-automatic rifle sales, and the European Union fast-tracks railway security legislation following the Thalys train attack. In the political sphere, Donald Trump mocks teleprompter-reliant candidates while allegedly staging a feud with Roger Ailes and Megyn Kelly to dominate the news cycle.

Sir Don of Detroit joins the show as the resident brain scientist, offering a critique of the philosophical pygmies currently dominating modern research. Adam Curry addresses Dutch tabloid rumors regarding his ex-wife Micky Hoogendijk while navigating the digital television channels of rural Texas. The segment concludes with a look at the Department of Justice’s $850 million millennial recruitment drive, which promises Minority Report style interfaces for future federal cyber agents.

Adam Curry Launches I Love Laundry Tour from McKinney Falls

Adam Curry broadcasts from McKinney Falls State Park in Texas to inaugurate the I Love Laundry Tour in a new Airstream Flying Cloud 23D. The hosts discuss the technical setup of the mobile rig, including the surprisingly high number of over-the-air digital television channels available in the park. Curry outlines plans to travel toward Colorado, Yellowstone, and potentially Canada while testing mobile connectivity via T-Mobile and Verizon.

00:00 Who does these things at quarter to seven? Adam Curry, John C. DeVorah It's Thursday August 27th 2015 time once again for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 751 This is no agenda Kicking off the I Love Laundry Tour and broadcasting from a live remote in FEMA Region 6 in the capital of the drone star state In the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where the traffic's backed up, I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning... Oh and that's it! Weather & Traffic on the 8s with John C. Dvorak The traffic is backed up Uh yeah Well John here we are The inaugural Wait let me set the stage Yes Set it

00:49 You're out in the sticks doing a remote. Kind of in the sticks, yeah kind of Well you're at a park I am? I'm in McKinney Falls State Park here in Texas And there's probably sticks all over the place There is tons of sticks everywhere Yes so the I Love Laundry Tour vehicle was acquired on Tuesday and I immediately took it out to the park and have been her since then Are you alone? I am alone. Yes, but I have had a visitor not to know Not last night. I have had a visitor one of those trailers behind the prison Yeah conjugal visit trailer exactly Wow No, but I think it's gonna be great John

01:41 I'm very bullish on the tour at this you finally got him out Yeah, but finally you have your wish dreams come true so of course No, it's still about 98 99 degrees during the day here in Texas and Headed I don't know what to tell you. Oh no no this is just the test but it's good so I know what it was like to operate it in Worst-case scenario heat it were we as a worst case scenario So I kept the air the air conditioner on all morning got it to like nice 68 degrees

02:21 And now of course I had to turn it off. Now the Airstream has these vents that suck air out and i've got all the shades down so hopefully we'll be okay, keep it cool at least for the broadcast. Well three hours? Your coolness will last about 40 minutes max Yeah we may be turning the air back on later or I'll be taking off my pants whichever comes first Well, it probably depends first in the air. Yeah exactly. So anyway you know prepping... Tell us a little bit about the trailer! Okay this is an Airstream Flying Cloud 23D as in Delta. So its a twenty three footer? Twenty-three footer exactly The D stands for what dining room? I think it does Dinette that means the dinette is in front with if you ever seen the new Airstreams with big beautiful picture windows

03:16 and it has a bed in the corner, in the back. I have to say this thing's put together really well You know, having the last time we did the Hot Pocket store hauled around that formaldehyde trailer which was a... now granted it was 19-footer with the slide out but this is... I could live in this. I really see myself doing it Yeah! I can too And the kicker so that has a TV built in and you get this little crank and then whoop! The antenna comes up which always thought was just kind of bogus but I'd forgotten all about the transition to digital over the air broadcast

03:55 I must have 50 channels of television here. If you're any, yes digital is fantastic! The only problem is 40 of them are in Spanish. Apparently the Spanish and the Chinese and Vietnamese have taken advantage of this little bitty sub-channels because if you get like a channel 4 You can actually divide that up into five channels. That's true, and it's very confusing as I was flipping through it you have like... It'll be channel 18-1-2-3 so they are indeed multicasting multiple languages at least they get the big networks and they get PBS also a lot of home shopping still on the over-the-air digital I thought that had all gone away Oh no

04:45 I get when i crank mine up to my over the air, I do a scan every so often to update the channels. Right because they do change actually probably more than you'd think Oh really? I get like 96 channels from here. It's phenomenal how much you get and not that there is anything interesting on but at least I could watch News Hour and some of the essentials But yeah, I'm really happy. I'll probably do a little walkthrough video maybe not this time but maybe next time we pull out cuz I'm thinking John around the end of the second week of September I hit the road and head off towards Colorado Yellowstone keep moving up and you know maybe Do the Calgary run?

05:30 We'll get your Yellowstone out of the way before it gets too cold. Yeah, I don't want to be hauling this thing in the snow that's for sure Well actually if you're gonna be out in September You're catching the fall you get the colors you could maybe get the Calgary I would still say Edmonton is might would be my target Okay But yeah very happy and thank you all for all the...I must have 40 different invites already people telling me that I can drop by, get a free hookup take a shower. Free what? A hook up Oh yeah with power and water They said hooker No no but they have offered weed surprising number, surprising number From Colorado! I'm getting it from everywhere Hey man you want some weed come on drop that thing over here Yeah excellent

06:24 So, uh... Check it for trackers every once in a while. I'm sorry? Check it for trackers! Trackers?! Yeah somebody goes up there and you slap a little tracker on their nose. Oh, I was contemplating... Some white kind of following you around for some unknown reason. I've been contemplating just adding an APRS beacon to it so that we can track the progress. Well you might as well go with someone else who's going to be doing it anyway. Right Yeah, yeah. So you don't have to stick any magnetic GPS things on it Don't worry about it all we'll track it through radio and also be interesting to see how well a PRS works Which is no ham radio Was it short messaging service and it can send out the location? You can track it on a PRS dot fi Fox India

07:13 it's pretty cool yeah that'd be great actually in case all of a sudden you disappear we'll know where the trailer is anyway exactly you at least have an idea where i was supposed to be uh technical aspects of the show so we have the mobile rig set up here on the dinette I tweeted out a picture you can take a look at that and running everything on because this is the park, the state park. In the national parks they don't really have any wi-fi coverage you can get it at the campgrounds So this does have a Wi-Fi, there's a Wi-Fi access point somewhere at the entrance to the park. This is right now running on the T-Mobile, on the iPhone 6 I have LTE 2 bars but i have on order of the booster that we talked about and I'm also going to get Verizon MiFi because Verizon seems to have the best coverage all the way into Yellowstone

08:05 And I have no idea how to work in Canada if we get up there. Same thing But, uh...I'm reasonably impressed with how well this works and that was getting five megabits down five megabits up last night Until yeah until you can tell that people are sucking down Netflix or doing something It just crunches down to about a little under one megabit per second But I tested the same time yesterday. I tested everything when the jingles were working which aren't working right now and The speed was good because I guess everyone's off at work, etc So and it was with horror wish I'd do that in just about movie watching time Oh really? That's and that's probably not such a good idea then you should do in a different time

CHAPTER 02 / 35 Discussion

ObamaBot Dinner Invitations and Mayan Code Scientist Dave Stewart

Adam Curry describes an invitation to a new "ObamaBot" dinner hosted by artists Lori and Mark following a falling out with the previous "brain professor." The guest list includes scientist Dave Stewart, known for cracking the Mayan code, and his wife Carolyn Porter of the McDonald Observatory. The hosts speculate on Stewart's politics and the intersection of science and religion.

dave stewart· mayan code· obamabot· lori and mark· mcdonald observatory· ut austin· brain professor

08:51 Well, he actually works for a living. Oh! John I have good news Good news ladies and gentlemen That's right here is your good news As you know the brain professor moved to California And i don't think the brain professor will ever talk to me again after the tirade against him on last episode He should be ashamed of himself for giving crap in public I agree, I agree I thought that you two were like buddies In a very pleasant way uh...in private level Yeah sure And then he comes out and just does this on Facebook? That's terrible. Yeah, I don't know... Bad form! So you know, I met- He and his wife were part of the full on ObamaBot dinner team Of course since they moved away we really haven't had any ObaDinners However Lori to the rescue Lori and her husband Mark They're usually the instigators for the ObaMaBot dinners The artist Yes, the artist

09:49 have now invited me to a new Obama-bot dinner on Monday. And guess who's coming to dinner? Guess who's coming... Sidney Poitier is the only thing that can answer that question. Dave Stewart, the... The rocker? No! That is the guy... Oh wait, the baseball pitcher. No no you have one more try Dave Stewart, the Democrat. No! This is the scientist who cracked the Mayan code Oh cool! And his wife Carolyn, Carolyn Porter she is the chief fundraiser for UT for the McDonald Observatory so I'm thinking... ...I can probably get into the observatory and park the Airstream out front That'd be great

10:42 uh... so we gotta think about what i'm a when i'm gonna talk with this day steward guy on top of our lives here who was his politics and are not please the right to my standing outside is the how much all in these religious scientists have alliances religion about it or not science also offer this amen what did that quote say at the court said the minds are pretty pretty nasty but they will find out uh... okay so that again talking about the minds for starters do you know i get carried away he's never heard the show or a private listening to this one uh... he might be mine yeah and then there is a as a preamble he probably doesn't understand no bomb about part but not to learn okay here do we want to start off with the obvious by the shooting in well yes we have to add to your much of a choice um... i don't really know if anything was i never picked up a clip

CHAPTER 03 / 35 Discussion

Vester Flanagan On-Air Shooting and Media Terminology Shifts

The discussion turns to the live on-air shooting of WDBJ reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward by former employee Vester Flanagan, who used the pseudonym Bryce Williams. John C. Dvorak notes a shift in media terminology from "cameraman" to "photographer" and criticizes President Obama for comparing domestic gun violence to terrorism. The hosts also question the role of SSRI antidepressants in incidents of workplace violence.

vester flanagan· bryce williams· wdbj· virginia· barack obama· gun control· ssris

11:43 That introduces the whole thing. Let me take a look I have one clip which i thought was interesting Which is something that wasn't quite? Since we don't have an actual setup Just from my vantage point where I was sitting in the trailer, you know going through as much stuff as possible Pretty quickly I got the videos that he had made himself and posted I think to Facebook into Twitter These these videos were first of all I had a strange flashback to Was it doom or castle castle Wolfenstein? Yeah, but now was he do you think he was holding a camera. It almost looked like a body camera Well somebody suggests it might be a GoPro Oh the could okay here's the thing that there are two things that bother me with this video and I'd be on and

12:31 And really, you know there's a lot of false flag it's all fake and maybe I don't know. It's kind of irrelevant. You can conclude that yeah but it doesn't even matter because... What is the point? Well the obvious actions are being undertaken anyway well get rid of guns etc etc But the things that bother me... They turned into a campaign speech Of course actually why don't Play this because this is worth some ridicule. This is the president breaks my heart every time you read about or hear about these kinds of incidents what we know, Is that the number of people who die from? gun-related Incidents around this country dwarfs any deaths that happen through terrorism Yes Stop one second

13:25 Let's at least tell people that might be in Lithuania. Why are we talking about here? Okay, let me wrap it with this there was a horrendous live on the air shooting of a pretty little reporter, blonde interviewing some woman about local tourism. Yeah from the Chamber of Commerce and the cameraman and some guy I'm sorry oh John John stop stop stop! A photographer I don't get that, by the way. Thank you! Since when did cameraman become photographer or shooter? Funny enough we often call cameramen shooters maybe not so politically correct in this case

14:09 The cameraman's what they're called in the business. Yeah, but now they're photographers all of a sudden? Yeah everybody is calling this a photographer and people in the industry are calling it photography Is this like a union thing or what do you think that stems from? I'd be code! Now that you mention it... It bothered me immediately Until now thought it was a codeword for something So that's fishy. That's a real problem, and let me finish the story there was a guy, a reporter named Bryce something or other whose name is on his stage name Bryce Williams. Bryce Williams wasn't it? I think it is

14:49 I have his name written down a couple times. Pretty sure it is, well that's not his real name... His real name is something else Anyway so this guy apparently was a hothead bipolar who knows what Gay black man if they could've added Jewish in there would've been the trifecta but they couldn't do it And he was fired and then came back to get his revenge It's Bryce Williams, you're right it is Williams. I do have this...I have two clips about this before- Before you move on let me just say about the statement the president made hold on. Gun related incidents around this country dwarfs any deaths that happen through terrorism Yeah why don't we get rid of automobiles because they dwarf everything

15:36 Yes. Why, why is he dumb? That was a... Why would he use that? Why does he compare guns to terrorism? Maybe they're trying to transition the emphasis with the FBI and the wiretaps and everything else toward back toward the public rather than toward trying to find terrorists because they're having a crappy time of that you can't find too many terrorists in the country they have to create them I don't know. It seems this whole thing seems like a bigger scheme, a giant scheme Also he said gun related instead of hate related or crazy insanity related or how about drug-related? He was apparently the station after they fired him and he sued the station They settled so he did get money out of the deal They said you really need to seek medical attention for your anger issues

16:31 Yes. Not overly reported Here's a question, on all of these antidepressants which he may have been on we just don't know yet And we'll never find out? You know the side effects... I have a question for you The side effects of these SSRIs pretty much all of them say you may have suicidal thoughts or thoughts of suicide Shouldn't one of the disclaimers be that you may have thoughts of murdering people I don't think they want to put that on there. No, no! I know but you know...

17:08 it's something to to ponder well they at least should mention violence now okay there you go violence toward others that would be a good thing to put on the page ever clinton was never getting is the news we've talked about this before will talk about again everyone who listens to the show knows that this is a theme as one of our things that should be on the fact that uh... the news networks the big ones all along uh... a b c nbc cbs i'm listening to all three for three weeks and by three by three three by three an everyday and uh... i'm starting to pick up on trends in certain things that one network of doing the other one won't but all of them are supported by drug companies all about it with a call that access yes yeah they do have other commercials like coming once in awhile and i have a little example where there's still trying to force others some people advertise by running negative ever negative stories about him mhm a bc courses the worst offender when it comes this kind relationship with the advertisers as two examples coming up later

CHAPTER 04 / 35 Discussion

Criminology Analysis and Skepticism of the WDBJ Shooting Video

The hosts analyze a CNN segment featuring criminologist Casey Jordan regarding the shooter's psyche and the "first-person" video he recorded. They express skepticism regarding the victims' lack of immediate reaction to the gunfire and the claim that the news crew lacked the peripheral vision to see the assailant approaching. A report from a producer with infantry experience is cited to question the ballistics and physical reactions shown in the footage.

18:04 And so we're never going to get these stories and the idiots over at Democracy Now! who could do this story, they kind of touch on it once in a while keep drifting back to global warming no matter what. Wait wait wait... They're talking about the shooter and they drift black? No I'm just saying in general. You scared me. In general they are not even talking about this story Well, let me just... Do you have any clips? Because I have a couple things that are worth going through. Alright, you go first. This is on CNN they had a criminologist discuss and i thought this was kind of insightful because cnn was very upset by this probably more than the other networks And if you want to do anything, if you want any kind of attention as we've said many times on the show You gotta kill some journalists

18:50 There's nothing like one of their own being killed to get all the attention you want. It truly is the way to go CNN criminologist on Bryce Williams' psyche. Casey Jordan, criminologist... This is also so unique in that you have this deranged person who is obviously set on committing these crimes follows through comes prepared with an I don't know for sure whether it was a go pro camera strapped to him or his cell phone i don't know but that you know he used to see from the vantage point this is a video that and we're not sharing but we've seen at most of us have seen it you know he waits thanks for not showing us uh... there in the show notes in case anybody wants to see an ideal offline copies of course make sure that both of these individuals are in the shot before shooting

19:46 Oh, hold on a second. That's bullshit! That's not true. So she is now pretending to say that he positioned himself to make sure they were both in the shot before he started shooting? No! She is kind of indicating that. Well no... She's full of crap but that's fine she just embellishing it What is THAT about?! And it's about the fact that he chose to do this on live television for maximum shock value and impact. And, to a huge extent, he has succeeded in doing that. He at one point zooms and then actually the camera goes back a little bit

20:24 it. At one point he turns away, um... He's very close to the victims. Yes! But it's- he's so close that they are in the middle of a live broadcast and for those of us who work in live television you get peripheral vision where you don't see anything thats happening on the screen. Alright stop right there bullshit! Bullshit! John this is thing that bothered me. So that should bother you and there's a couple of things here. Remember this, another thesis we run on the show commonly is you always tell the truth The word she meant to use was tunnel vision Yes because peripheral vision is exactly what you have I've done thousands of interviews And that guy even if he wasn't as close as the video showed it You know

21:07 She showed no indication. It's a human thing, you cannot not see little things like that. Particularly if the guy is sticking a Glock at you. that he could get within a few feet of them and probably disguised himself as just a bystander, curious at what was going on right there in the pier at that moment. And get close enough so that he could actually pull those shots off. He knew it was live, he knew it would be broadcasted and he knew it was groundbreaking No one else has ever done this and he wanted to go down in infamy Alright before you say anything I need to hit on this again...I have a lot of friends who are photographers better known as cameramen

21:50 And have you, so he has the camera up to his right eye. And this guy is approaching him from the left as he makes his turn. Cameramen all the time see peripheral and you'll see, if you've ever been on a remote shoot... You'll often see a cameraman actually move his head back a little, turn to the left to see what's going on because they have to be aware of all their surroundings It's within their nature in case they need to get something else that's in the shot This guy was so close to them! He must have seen him Unless it was some superimposed video. I have no idea but to say that in the business We know that you don't see that you can get within a few feet know exactly the opposite

22:34 I think i have some expertise in this field. Yeah, you definitely have standing Thank you! I'm in good standing on this Well that's a legal term Let me... That means you could testify as an expert Yes In this case let me read the note from Justin Blum because we both looked at this video and Justin Blum is one of our producers yes so there are few issues which he has got a copy of the video which you had caught but just incase When the first round fires, the reporter jumps up which shows that she was not hit with the first round. She would have moved backwards from the force of the bullet. I have served in the infantry in Afghanistan and seen it too! She runs away there's no blood anywhere to be seen on her. The bullet would have gone clean

23:23 in through her and would have left a nice exit wound on her back. There is nothing to be seen also she is running, she's not holding any part of her body which she would know if she had been actually, which you do what you would have been doing if she'd be actually hit on a protected...she's been protecting it touching or pushing. Could be. He also notices a few other things so he is very skeptical. A couple of producers emailed me similar reports but they did say that when you get hit first of all blood doesn't start spouting out like in the movies Right I agree with that and some people actually don't know that they've been hit until its too late or until later or seconds later

CHAPTER 05 / 35 Discussion

Chris Hurst and the Scrapbook Proof of Relationship

Adam Curry highlights the behavior of Alison Parker's boyfriend, anchor Chris Hurst, who appeared on news outlets shortly after the shooting to provide proof of their relationship. Hurst presented a scrapbook of "month-iversaries" to the media, which the hosts find performative and unusual for someone in immediate mourning. They also note discrepancies in the timeline of Hurst's social media posts regarding the tragedy.

chris hurst· alison parker· twitter· scrapbook· month-iversaries· wdbj

24:02 But yeah, I mean it's hard not to think that way when there's a gun firing at law as loud as those things are It you know it looked almost surreal John that video And that's why and that's why I said doom or castle castle wolf is very doomed the doom thing You were dead on because that gun coming up just what comes up. Just like it doesn't do now now still I'm like okay? No fine but then There's a whole bunch of other things that start to happen like the boyfriend So the boyfriend comes out and he's tweeting immediately. Now, the timeline is weird if you look at the tweets this could be a Twitter thing where localization in timelines I'm not so sure but... At 610 is when he tweets oh boy we've been in secret relationship for six months no one knew about it but we wanted to keep that quiet and at 645 was when it happened

24:54 So I don't know why those, the Twitter timeline... We'll just assume that's a glitch. Yeah technology glitch But then this guy he starts talking to the press and he has this big black binder or book under his arm Now remember it is his boyfriend yeah the boyfriend Chris Hurst who is the night time anchor. So he's used to speaking, he's very good at it and very eloquent but there is not a twinge of sadness in any moment when he speaks just as if this was a free press interview. I wouldn't do the interview to begin with and i would be very wrecked. Of course, he's talking about love of my life and first it was six months then it was nine months which is a little confusing you know how many months were you together they just moved in together yet nobody knew that

25:47 And so he has this binder on his arm and here's what he does just hours after this whole event. This is something that I have been showing people, and somewhat hesitant to show the public but she would want our love to be shared because it was a love that was genuine So he is now going to present proof that he is the boyfriend which apparently no one else knew Everybody else gets to experience at least once in their life. As young foolish couples in love do, we celebrate not anniversaries but month-iversaries. No! Month-iversaries? No... And for our six month anniversary she made me this photo album which says that all of these pictures are from my phone

26:44 And I don't really post on Facebook very much. We were not public on our professional Facebook pages or social media as being in a relationship together It was something we talked about eventually doing but we weren't there yet, I Don't really post much to Facebook at all But these are pictures from the first six months of our relationship and she said it was my job to upload photos To Facebook and put pictures in here into this Into the scrapbook for the next six months. Yeah Why is he doing this? Does he somehow he needs to insurance involved? I don't know but he feels the need clearly to prove that they were in love and that they were boyfriend girlfriend It doesn't make sense. You should just very strange, you know These are if your somebody's you go into morning is just what you don't come out and do this it Just doesn't make sense that you would do that unless there's some now this doesn't right This is not right. That's not right And here's another anomaly let's assume that all this is true as we go along but

CHAPTER 06 / 35 Discussion

Scripted Narratives and Megyn Kelly Interview Critique

The hosts examine interviews featuring Andy Parker and Chris Hurst on Fox News, suggesting the dialogue regarding mental health and gun control felt scripted. They criticize Megyn Kelly for speculating that the cameraman heroically pointed his lens at the killer while dying. The segment focuses on the perceived "acting" and narrative-pushing by the victims' families and the media.

megyn kelly· andy parker· chris hurst· gun control· mental illness· fox news

27:41 We're questioning it. I'm not questioning calling folks on this event, not yet I'm close. I'm on the edge, Jerry. There are some nagging issues that need to be discussed. And you know what? When a police presser starts off and the police chief or whoever it is he comes out like oh i'm going to do this announcement and...and I hate when this happens! Why?! Is he just so stupid and careless? Through this we continue to keep our prayers and thoughts with the family of Alicia Parker Uh, Alicia Parker and Aaron Wade. Uhh... no! Excuse me, Aaron Ward? Umm.. as well as a- Oh I'm sorry It's not Alicia it's Allison! I know he gets both names wrong! Yes that is what i said And she's on the air She's a known- apparently everybody loved her she was fantastic fabulous So you know what? I just have this notion that this boyfriend Chris He is this- he's the one thats insane

28:46 Because pay attention to this kid who knows what he set up, but you know maybe there was some I don't know. I have a bad feeling about this kid I hate to say it because it's like the boyfriend boyfriend yeah the boyfriend and then and then you have The boyfriend and the father go on Megyn Kelly and And his more weirdness coming out of his mouth, but he was almost like. He's trying to correct the dad Who does break down during this interview? To correct the dad that he's going off script about crazy people He was a I'm sorry Chrissy. He was a crazy man that got a gun and that's The way says that

29:33 I'm sorry Chris, i just gotta say it. So, I think we need to be very careful with how we identify this man and we don't label him and then discriminate against everybody else who has a mental illness in this country who needs access to services. But clearly something went wrong here between him leaving our station and being able to purchase a gun and commit a premeditated act." Now does this not sound like a pre-built script? To say hey not everybody's who kills people you know shoot

30:16 No, he's saying we need to keep guns out of the hands of crazy people. And this happens to be his beat apparently This is what he does He looks at crazy people What happened behind us was clearly wrong But there had been ample time beforehand where many many other things went wrong Those need to be addressed not any of the allegations he is saying about the love of my life The daughter that he loves a cameraman who deeply loved his fiancee, who was the morning show producer and she loved him back in equal measure. It sounded scripted weird and then Megyn Kelly does what... She's a dick! And it was believed by some that before Adam

31:03 died, the photographer that he actually pointed his camera in the direction of his killer. So there would be photographic evidence of the man who took his life it's just speculation but those who know him... If that is what you want to speculate then go right ahead You're talking about two people were killed in cold blood and they didn't suffer so I don't think its fair to make that kind of assumption. No no no! I really do not want to talk about that Megan Ha ha, Megan you dick. Don't do that! Yes he was a hero as he was falling down He twisted to point the camera at his assailant so he could help everyone find him Yeah right Well couple of things I've noticed on this thing First of all this took place in the state of Virginia

CHAPTER 07 / 35 Discussion

Intelligence Community Connections and Alison Parker's Background

John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry discuss the high concentration of intelligence assets in Virginia and speculate on Alison Parker's background as a "dynamo" with skills suited for field operations. They note her membership in the Alpha Phi sorority, which they link to CIA recruitment fairs. Andy Parker's comment that his daughter was the "perfect Fox News girl" is highlighted as an odd parental observation.

31:56 Virginia is known as a state that has a lot of people working in intelligence agencies. I think that is a prerequisite when you get your driver's license, isn't it? You have to check the box. Yes, I am an intelligence asset. Now I'm not saying this is complete because we don't know and but we didn't hear from the girl's parents who... No no! That was her father That was the father. The boyfriend and the father were together, and the boyfriend looks more like a handler than someone who's commiserating because the minute the guy starts to say this guy is crazy then he says whoa hold on a second you know this is what I do. I investigate how people hurt people who are crazy and they have guns or other types of weapons

32:43 There's something about this kid I don't like. Sorry, sorry! I don't want to be a douche. Let's get back to the Virginia intelligence thing. Now this woman who was Kill Parker she was one of those unique individuals...I'm surprised she was even working in the local station if you look at her background on LinkedIn She is one of those dynamo chicks Dynamo he had another where she's just involved in everything it either in college and she was a James Madison Or at Alpha Phi. She was a major Sorority girl and volunteering, she's and she plays the trombone Wait a minute does you play the rusty trombone?

33:30 Actually, she plays the I believe I could tell she plays the French horn and the trumpet And which there's a joke there too. And just it's outrageous her skill set She can she's a you can use photos. She's a Photoshop person She can do all this stuff way out of control in terms of her skill sets if you dig far enough perfect I actually did a search while you were talking about it. There's a lot of correlation between Alpha Phi Omega, right?

34:09 We're just alpha-phi. Alpha-phi, okay hold on... I just did a search for alpha-phi CIA and it seems like oh we have jobs fair day the CIA is coming by... Well there's probably... It could be, it could be. There's still lots to be said for some of these sororities if you want to get into the CIA. Remember who was that good looking blonde that was outed by Obama or by... Valerie Plame. Yeah, Valerie Plame. Yeah, Valerie Plame. Dynamite! That's the type of woman we're talking about right? A good-looking woman who can get in and out of you know she's being trained as a journalist field type where she's out there giving interviews next thing you know She'll be...she would have been if she was on this track to be overseas Right Now whether or not this whole thing is a hoax or whether somebody killed her

35:00 And she's actually dead, we don't know. But she just has all the perfect earmarks of what when we do analysis of these people living in Virginia dynamo super talented just the kind of person you want as a field operative at least I'd hire her The father...I should probably play that bit The father said something interesting about that where is it again? They got to pick it up again Think he said something about she would be perfect for Fox. It was it's believe for Fox News or something hold on Let me just I got it here

35:38 Allison's life and what she meant, and you know frankly she was You know I had reservations coming here. You know if there were any other situation? I wouldn't have but she was a journalist She was a journalist first and a TV personality second And you know make no mistake She was a journalist and she would have wanted me to come here and and state the case You know, she... we even laughed. I joked with her that she was the perfect Fox News girl She was pretty, she was blonde and she was extremely smart This is how you talk about your daughter No! That's not how i talk about my daughter It's kind of odd What is her last name? Parker

36:28 Yeah, so it's Andrew Parker. We probably need to look into him see where he's coming from It's odd yeah, it's just odd and maybe you know Half of me says I you know it's easy to find things and there's all kinds of anomalies and things are misreported But but you put all these things together And then just too many of them yeah this quite a bit It's just annoying and then of course right off the bat you ever question. Well, this is these CEO Walmart I'm not the CEO This is a top official Martz decision to sell firearms ammunition Yeah our focus as it relates to firearms should be hunters and people who shoot sporting clays and things like that so the types of

Walmart Discontinues Semi-Automatic Rifle Sales

A top Walmart official announces the retailer will stop selling military-style semi-automatic weapons to focus on hunters and sporting clay shooters. The hosts briefly compare the current Parker family to Robby Parker from the Sandy Hook investigation, noting similarities in their public appearances.

37:09 of rifles we sell, the types of ammunition we sell should be cure rated for those things. We believe in serving those customers and have for a long time and we believe that we should continue to." Do you envision curtailing the merchandise so there are no semi-automatic weapons? I believe, yes. And in the US is one of the few places maybe the only place around the world where we actually do sell firearms and here i believe that's appropriate. So Walmart is saying they will no longer sell military style weapons by the way Andrew Parker remember Robbie Parker? No I don't remember Robbie Parker was the dad at Newtown who was seen you know cracking up and laughing just before he went on air started crying Oh right right right! The guy... That was a well most horrendous

37:54 uh... clips that anyone ever caught it's been somewhat forgotten you know we said yeah well we were what it was all right there was one of there was one of the so-called kids parents who was laughing up and saying all kinds are probably have a clip somewhere single kinds of nutty stuff before the can't see it visually to really get the impact me out let me just because he's laughing at jay and then when they throw the camera on heat goes into a dead different look he just is like an actor It's okay. Well, we need to look into this... The Parkers? Yeah the Parkers hmm I don't seem to have a clip from Robbie Parker and no it's somewhere oh well okay you got any more on that? The other woman who was somehow injured even though when we saw this shooting it was pretty much aimed at her

CHAPTER 09 / 35 Discussion

Logistics of the WDBJ Shoot and Andy Parker's Acting Background

The hosts question why a non-breaking news tourism interview was being conducted at 6:45 AM and how the shooter knew the specific location. A search of Andy Parker's LinkedIn profile reveals a background as a professional Broadway actor and a career in "talent acquisition" for the banking industry, which the hosts add to their list of anomalies.

38:53 No, I disagree. It did not say... it was no..I didn't see him pointing the gun at her. I thought he was... I thought i saw him pointing the gun at her Could be Well that certainly doesn't fit the narrative Well the whole thing is again you know one of these things that is not for one thing its crazy The guy is like a disgruntled employee so thats always good check box He's on something maybe maybe not He was fired, we know that much. He goes out and shoots these people... Somebody pointed out in an email to one of our producers that he had to do this whole gig at 630 in the morning What kind a guy is gonna do a murder? Just a random murder so I can get a lot of attention who's been apparently planning this for months! There are all kinds of evidence that he has been working on it, stewing his own juices

39:49 So now's the day he is going to do it. He somehow knows that this shoot is going on, but there has never been an explanation for that. Is he still on the computer system? Are you looking at schedules where all of his shoots are taking place and is he on somebody's mailing list? We don't know how... How did he know this was taking place in the first place? And it was early in the morning! It was done very early in the morning. What, 8am? Yeah earlier quarter to 7pm A quarter to seven?! Who does these things a quarter to seven!? Who goes out on a shoot to interview a woman about tourism and they do it before nine o'clock? Well, unless we're going to re-roll the package later. No! Nobody shoots at that hour I mean okay somebody maybe can send me a note somebody works in a station there's plenty of them that listen our show now yeah we always get up at six o'clock seven o'clock to go do these good do these interviews these inconvenient interviews at 730 in the morning

40:49 Because you want to run it that day. It's not an important, it wasn't breaking news! It's not an important story that they have to run that day so they have to get in early so they can run at 5 o'clock? Hey do you- That's a stupid story about tourism You have a full on LinkedIn account right Yeah, I don't have it on this machine. Oh well you do you just don't have the password? Let me try to see if i can sign it Well let me tell you what is her okay her mother check it out check it out Her mother Barbara are you listening yeah i'm just mumbling to myself Okay It gets progressively worse uh... her mother barbara parker is director of programming at piedmont arts her father andy parker is a consultant and candidate for the henry county board of supervisors

41:38 So can we find this, what kind of consultant was he? Ah I got in. Okay. Consultant... Give me his name again Well now it seems his name is Andy Parker not Andrew but It would be Andrew and LinkedIn believe me You think? Yeah pretty sure It's nice if I take the J out of the word that might be useful. But if I see his face then, well let's see this is not him... That's an army guy which I don't think it's him So what's his current job? Oh here he is! Headhunter for the banking industry. How convenient Well that's different I'm a talent acquisition magician for the banking industry Needle in hay stack searches are my specialty I find the right fit and do no waste my candidates or clients time

42:34 You sure it's the right guy? Yep, I see his picture. My company Divergent Search is the offshoot of the executive search firm Telecareers which has started in spring 2000 at the time its inception Telecareer specialized in telecommunications industry and as business specialization changed named that as well... blah blah blah Okay let me see what he has, what's his background here Sports, sales... Professional actor! Appeared on Broadway in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Pump Boys & Dinettes at the Kennedy Center. Okay? Funny how these people always turn up to be- And he's a professional actor like on Broadway real actor. Oh for six years yeah has also- Regional stage credits regional and national TV commercials mm-hmm well ain't that funny huh

CHAPTER 10 / 35 Discussion

DeRay McKesson Tweets and the ABC News Manifesto Fax

The discussion covers activist DeRay McKesson's deleted tweets regarding the race of the shooter and the 40-page manifesto faxed by Vester Flanagan to ABC News. The hosts question the use of a fax machine in 2015 and criticize ABC for "cherry-picking" quotes from the document rather than releasing it in full.

deray mckesson· black lives matter· abc news· manifesto· fax machine· library of congress

43:29 Well, just another data point to stick in your hat. Education University of Texas at Austin? No this is where all the spooks are! Oh that and Cal... Anyway The only other thing I thought was kind of interesting was the Black Lives Matter guy you know him the one who had the chat with Hillary DeRay McKesson is his name oh yeah they get it with a stage chat in the back Yes, the stage chat in the back. So he immediately comes out and tweets and says... let's see...

44:10 The color of the shooter is going to determine everything about how this is reported. Don't tell me it doesn't matter." See, he thought that this guy would be white He tweets some say disgruntled employee others say terrorist whiteness will explain away nearly everything and then people say hey douchebag It was black and then the guy goes into leads all his tweets troublemaker a-hole Troublemaker a-hole That was kind of interesting. It's his tweets well, there's no in the Library Congress Yes, that's true. That's true You know all the tweets you want and they're gonna end up in a Library Congress anyway And then so ABC who we know is is all-in with certainly with this administration and I'm just lying liars So they received a fax. I love this The guy is now he decides to fax

45:04 his manifesto, which they subsequently cherry-pick and release some bits. Apparently it's 30 or 40 pages... Why don't they release it? Why can I read the whole thing?" I know what their thinking is if they wanted to rationalize it to you because your complaining If we released it will encourage other nutcases do the same thing and will have a million of these things out there We're trying to discourage this But also what kind Guy who wants broad mass appeal attention for his crime Writes a manifesto prints it because the pictures they showed looked like it was printed and then faxed wouldn't you want the broadest appeal possible like where you put your videos on Facebook and And tweeter there's account down. Oh, he'd eat it Lee yeah

45:58 But isn't that what you... I mean look, that's how you do it. You want to get the whole thing out but no he decides to use technology from 20 years ago to fax it. 30. To fax his manifesto, to ABC who then... It's not like they say we have it and you know were gonna not going release because we don't want to give him the honor but now they cherry pick tons of pieces out a bit I don't like it just don't like it. I don't like either, I don't like the whole story No well someone getting shot and killed is always bad No, and if somebody got shot and killed which is quite possible. And then the guy's dead too. You have three dead people that's not good but let's just say the possibility exists at least the girl or who knows if she was a spook

White House Fence Jumper Curtis Smith Killed at Courthouse

A news report details the death of Curtis Smith, the man who previously jumped the White House fence, after he allegedly stabbed a deputy at a Pennsylvania courthouse. The hosts suggest Smith may have "known too much" and speculate on the convenience of the incident for those advocating for knife bans.

46:50 This may be just the way to get her into the field. There was another shooting that was barely covered. She had black hair, just be on the lookout for a woman who looks exactly like this one with black hair. Black hair Another shooting that was poorly covered because of this. Chaos erupted behind these walls just before lunch Tuesday when police say Curtis Smith walked in the lobby, pulled out a knife and stabbed a sheriff's deputy He was crazy It happened within 20 seconds Riley Aikman stood just feet away from Curtis Smith He went right through security And I remember he said, I'm gonna get you

47:27 Next thing I hear, pop-pop! And he went down. And I was looking at him and look, he had something in his stomach." Do you know who this is about? Well if it's not about Lee Harvey Oswald no This is the White House fence jumper The guy who jumped the fence and tried to run into the White House So he got...the guy that got very far in He actually got into the White House Yeah You'd like to talk about it? Yeah So he just shows up at the courthouse because he's out free, you know? He was like why not. And then he comes in and he stabs someone or tries to stab one and then a deputy kills him. Smith is a Coatesville resident who was arrested back in March for jumping the White House fence. Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan said the courthouse threat ended seconds after it began

48:15 Another deputy sheriff immediately pulled his firearm and shot Smith. Unfortunately, because of incidents like this across the nation we have learned how to deal with an attack in a courthouse Nobody else was injured The sheriffs did their jobs The lockdown went perfectly Oh! Okay I'm thinking... This guy knew too much Yeah You don't think it was a knife or anything? Maybe I'd be easier to plant a knife on somebody than any then planning a gun But I don't even know if he had a knife and this is yes. Yeah, that's what your theory would be yeah No, no, but I have no idea but now in general about what a bummer the old knives should be banned Hello UK we're looking at ground checks for steak nights. We're looking at you yeah

49:05 Alright, so things will unfold as they go along. This is there's just too many strange points and the GoPro video footage is So surreal so surreal I have to look at it again How was that how was the kick on that did it seem like they'd had a lot of kicks? I've shot a Glock and it's little unclear if this is the 40 Cal or the What else would it be? Well, I mean if you're gonna go out and do something like this you'd want a .45. But it's probably a 9mm that everyone uses. It's 38 I guess. I wonder what...I should probably look at it If there was a lot of guns. Yeah, it looks like he had...he's a big guy! You know, he's not going to...I don't think the gun kicks that much

CHAPTER 12 / 35 Discussion

European Train Security Legislation and the Thalys Attack Heroes

Following the thwarted attack on a Thalys train, the European Union is fast-tracking new security legislation for railway systems. The American passengers who intervened are awarded medals in France and Belgium. The hosts suggest the security industry is eager to implement magnetometers and checkpoints in train stations similar to airport protocols.

thalys train· france· belgium· european union· train security· medal of honor

49:54 I mean it does kick and i think it did kick. I'm taking a look right now this guy is so close to them looking at that video again he's so close let me just uh... He comes back, I mean he's standing Now this actually doesn't... If he's not bumping into the guys in there It's almost bumping into him Almost And that woman You know? We need some of our experts to take a look at the kick on that Don't you think has enough of a kick doesn't look like it. I don't know, you know? I don't know! I just like the fact that her dad was an actor... Her boyfriend is trying to prove that he was a boyfriend-girlfriend by showing the scrapbook. And there's also the other coincidence which is the cameraman's aka photographer's fiancée was running in the control room at the time

50:50 And they're all young kids. Somebody on Twitter just went on and said, that's it for me! What kind of bullcrap is this? It's rather strange yes So there are too many elements here Maybe it's just a case... How about this really sick idea The government has decided that or the shadow goverment whoever we want to deal with pretends in charge has decided to keep people, we haven't had enough of these sorts of things with all kinds of discrepant information and screwball subtexts and weird facts. To keep the conspiracy driven public busy

51:31 Yeah! So we're gonna start... It's working. There hasn't been a good one for awhile, right? Yes since Sandy Hook we haven't had anything really good, right? Yes, Sandy Hook has been the best one Here is how it goes Hey I got an idea Let's fuck with those guys Set this up Check it out We have anybody in the agency working there? Because they use By the way every news agency Every TV station Every place you go Has somebody in the agency Working there Yeah. It's just the way it is, you can... Oh it's bullcrap! No, it's not bullcrap this why they have to run drugs to keep the budget going half of country seems we're working for an intelligence agency and so on any you know this is so obvious after a while So who do you got in there? We've got two people Well you wanted.. You know this again if you have to ask them if they want to do this

52:26 You take them or you I guess you can tell them to do it But I don't think they but I think they're more polite than that when it comes to something like this And so you have a I'm guessing and so you have the come in and what do you see? We knew well, you know, yeah, I've been kind of sick at work in here Can if I get a field job for like, you know in Europe or someplace for the next I don't know five Or six years that then I'd do it. Okay hmm Well You know, we'll just continue to follow it It doesn't really matter that much in the broad scheme of things other than it does seem that President Obama is trying to get everything all nicely wrapped up for his His final bits of his tenure here and wouldn't be great if could pass some fantastic legislation very much I would say like the The train shooter with our heroes are

53:19 our marine heroes, our American heroes. Yes but none of them in the Marines by the way. Yeah and there were four... There was a fourth guy we can't forget him yeah and well check this out so not only did they get the Medal of Honor from Olanda from France but they're also now getting the Belgian Medal of Honor since it happened I guess on Belgian territory Oh! Yeah, so there's an... I was like... The Belgian in my middle of heart. You know the one award they should have gotten which wasn't given and i don't even know if it exists but it should the insurance industries award well you know there was also can you imagine what that would have cost? The insurance companies as that guy had been shooting up the place in the Thales yeah those things are really expensive

54:12 So immediately the European Union, European Parliament started rushing through legislation. Apparently there was already legislation for train security on the books and now it looks like they'll be voting on something very quickly of course we're seeing the same here in the United States which when you think about it John once you've got all the airports and obviously we can't be forcing uh... malls and movie theaters to put up your security as well but if you want some good government security wants a good money the next obvious arena is of course uh... the the railway system but it's also take just this hour the magnetometer their cheap now and i get killed security guys there in such that when she put them or advanced equipment

Mike Rogers Syndicated Radio Vignettes and Dog Stories

Former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers has launched a syndicated radio segment titled "Something to Think About." Adam Curry plays a clip of Rogers telling a story about a dog named Pepper rescued in Greece, which Curry debunks by noting the strict six-month quarantine laws for bringing animals into the UK.

mike rogers· something to think about· syndication· georgia bradley· quarantine· uk

55:03 But, oh what do you have the clip where Obama says that this will never happen at train stations? Oh no he doesn't say that. He says take off your shoes I think. You want to take off your shoes or anything? Yeah i got it right here. Here he is. Imagine boarding a train in the center of the city No racing to an airport and across a terminal. No delays. No sitting on the tarmac. No lost luggage. No taking off your shoes Yeah, that's right. Well that was what he was implying when he said that. Yes. Okay can we move on? I think we should move on. I have a little intermezzo for us John. A little intermezzo. Okay well then after your intermezzo i have an even shorter intermezzo of my own

55:48 Okay, Intermezzo number one. Mike Rogers formerly the chairman of the House Security Committee I believe Homeland Security Committee We of course have been watching him very closely as he said He was going to retire and start a broadcast career And we are so wrong on this Mike Rogers! I thought it would be no good How can this guy ever do a great show? Well, I finally figured out what he's doing. I have a copy of his show right here Have you heard the Mike Rogers segment? I have been trying to hear but it about don't put enough effort into getting cop through the show because I know it's gonna blow well Yeah But it's funny blow Mike Rogers

56:34 Does not have his own radio show. He is not doing a call-in talk am type radio show No, he's doing vignettes which are syndicated around the country now I've done these but one of them was called the buzz with Adam Curry I've had you know you create a 15 30 60 second Spot yeah i have been told i have been given the assignment and i've been Asked and i've been told like it'd be syndicated if i would do these sort of things about technology And i refused Because I think they're stupid. So you have Mike Rogers who has a one minute segment which is syndicated around the country, it's called Something to Think About STTA, Mike Rogers' Something to Think About and what do you think his segments would focus on?

57:22 Terrorism. Sometimes you just know when you meet someone, you're going to be friends. Georgia Bradley was taking a stroll down the beach in Greece recently and encountered some trouble. Two men approached her and were aggressive about joining them for a drink. The more she told them no, the more aggressive they became. One of the men finally reached out and grabbed her arm. Just as this situation looked to turn worse for the young English holiday goer... A Greek citizen came to her defense. Out of nowhere, small in stature her new brave friend showed some true grit and her teeth the men decided to move along saved by the homeless canine Georgia was on a mission to find a shelter for the young dog to no avail before her return trip to England as she departed for the airport

58:05 Georgia turned around to see the black terrier poodle mix running after the car. That was more than she could take She completed the adoption process and her new best friend pepper is one of England's newest courageous citizens hats off To a happy ending for this brave good Samaritan something to think about I'm Mike Rogers He's doing dog stories Wow, and the kicker it's bullcrap because you cannot take a dog or cat into the United Kingdom, they have to go into quarantine for six months. For a long time yeah So this is full of crap! It's a bullcrap story to top it off just like him I love it though! I'm Mike Rogers something to think about The Dog That Saved My Life

58:51 Mike Dude Let's talk. I'm sure we could figure out something better than this Well my understanding because I have followed this a little bit was that he was given the opportunity first of the weekend spot to do some shows You know you always taste these stations it's like as crap shoot with you never heard you before if your don't have a track record and So they gave him some weekend gigs, you know the three hour fill in from noon to 3 on Saturday. On some local talker and he just was so bad that they decided to be... Do vignettes! Give him the dog story! Give him something else to do so he can get his feet wet and maybe develop a little bit of professional style I guess this is where it ended up but i didn't know where the story was going

CHAPTER 16 / 35 Discussion

Hurricane Katrina 10-Year Anniversary and Failed Climate Predictions

On the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the hosts play clips from 2005 featuring scientists and reporters predicting a permanent increase in devastating storms and the creation of "Category 6" hurricanes. They point out that these dire predictions of sea-level rise and constant urban extinction have failed to materialize over the last decade.

hurricane katrina· global warming· category 6· bill blakeney· nbc news· robert buzell· noaa

1:13:05 Yeah, yeah that's not gonna work. Why? You can't take the battery out of the iPhone! Oh I forgot... Yes yes yes yes oh that's too bad okay you know this was there we had the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina Yeah, this was interesting because the different networks kind of played it differently Well what I'd like to do but they overplayed it whatever the case when they played at all well What I thought we would do just as a little fun. Diddy here is? I thought we would go back in time hold on second hop in the wayback machine with me John

1:13:47 Hello John, this is me 10 years ago. Hi how you doing? Do you remember our voices were so much higher back then That's right we didn't have the voice of God plug in at that time What all the network said after Katrina Yeah it was just a beginning and an end We're gonna have thousands of these giant storms It's gonna wreck everything What happened to you ten years ago Hurricane Katrina was the most destructive storm this country has ever seen, but a growing number of scientists believe it is just the beginning of what could be a long stretch of wild and devastating weather. Wild and devastating weather! Your message is clear and foreboding. Time to go green...is now

1:14:27 Go green now! King Katrina was the first urban extinction. This is just the beginning of the trend, masses of ecological refugees- Just the beginning of the extinction? Mega droughts and mega floods extremes of all sorts. Global warming's real and it's destructive and its impacts defy the imagination and humans have not figured out how to change their ways We've all heard of the category 5 storm, the worst. But could there soon be something even beyond that? ABC's Bill Blakeney is right here with us in Times Square. Check it out! What's better than a cat fight?! Yes Diane, the scientists making predictions today are grappling with a lot of new evidence that shows man-made global warming has been making hurricanes worse around the world and yes some scientists are even considering adding a new hurricane category 6

1:15:17 Wait, wait, John. Check- could you check Noah for me? Did we ever have a category six? Was that added anywhere in the world? What's unique about this report is what you're doing I don't know where he got all these clips Yeah well i have more. A couple more. Well here them all! NBC News In Depth tonight This was ten years ago Ten years ago We've waited ten year and not had another Katrina We haven't even had a real hurricane for that matter Adding a new hurricane by the bunches every year and it hasn't been any. Science! Science! Adding a new hurricane category... 6th NBC News in-depth tonight hurricanes and global warming is there connection? As new storms brew in the Atlantic tonight scientists studying the Earth's climate say we are experiencing stronger hurricanes in this century, a trend that likely to continue In depth night here's NBC News chief science correspondent Robert Buzell

1:16:11 Was Katrina a warning of more terrible hurricanes in the next few years? I think the biggest lesson from Katrina, year later is that those same ingredients you know sort of a city below sea level hit by major hurricane will be replicated by global warming all along our Atlantic and Gulf coastlines. We're all gonna die! That means you know lower Manhattan for example is right at sea level now if we get three feet of sea-level rise from global warming much of Lower, Manhattan Much of parts of Washington DC a lot of Miami all our coastal cities will be below sea level like New Orleans We're gonna have to build levees the whole back the seas How are those levees doing so all I need hold on hold on a second John

1:16:59 Yeah, here we are back. Wow Adam that was an amazing trip in time wasn't it though? Yeah that harp really barely takes us places Uh yeah so that was 10 years ago These were all scientists chief scientist chief this chief that all about the science all about the science The Science is In! And did we get to category 6 do we have levees all along the coastline that we've been drowning No So please explain and please discuss However, it doesn't make any difference because we're still here in 2015 now. We're 10 years later... Ten years later! Still talking about- actually Carly Fiorina was hounded by Chip Chuck What's his name? Chuck Todd. Chip Chuck I'm gonna call him chip chuck

CHAPTER 17 / 35 Discussion

Carly Fiorina, Jerry Brown, and the California Water Crisis

Carly Fiorina clashes with Chuck Todd and Governor Jerry Brown over the California drought, blaming liberal environmental policies for the lack of new reservoirs. John C. Dvorak confirms that Brown's history of opposing dams dates back to the 1970s. Adam Curry provides a lengthy critique of Fiorina's "Botox job," suggesting it hinders her ability to express or feel emotion.

carly fiorina· jerry brown· california drought· botox· reservoirs· chuck todd

1:17:48 Chip Chuck. I think chip monk, chip chip chip chuck monk monk he brought in global warming about California's drought her response was quite refreshing and you but i think you'll agree you certainly have a you know how do you have standing when it comes to in the environment and that california and before us before i start this Carly Fiorina, who and I have nothing against her you know and it's certainly this what she's saying here is nice but she has made a very large mistake in her life. A personal and I think also a public mistake too much Botox this woman it's like a frame the time if you look at the top of her head

1:18:35 from below the eyebrows up, it does not move. Her eyebrows do not move her head is like plastic! It's really... once you see it you can't unsee it. It's the worst Botox job I've ever seen in my life Now here she is about climate change with Chip Chuck Monk Todd In your home state of California The drought, wildfires More evidence is coming out from the scientific community that says climate change has made this worse. Yeah, just like the 10 years of category 6 storms! Not to say that the drought is directly caused but it's made it worse You know what also made it worse? Politicians

1:19:16 liberal politicians who stood up for 40 years as the population of California doubled and said you cannot build a new reservoir, and you cannot build a water conveyance system. And so for forty years 70% of the rainfall has washed out to sea that's pretty dumb when you know your gonna have drought every single year or every three years let say So the other day I asked Governor Jerry Brown to respond to that exact criticism you made I said you blamed liberal environmentalists in California specifically on dams and reservoirs And this is how he responded. I've never heard of such utter ignorance, building a dam won't do a damn thing about fires or climate change or the absence of moisture in the ground and vegetation in California so I think these people if they want to run for president better do kind of eighth grade science before they make any more utterances That's that's a lot of insults but of course it makes no sense what you just said

1:20:13 It would be helpful if you were fighting fires to have more water. Firefighters in California have difficulty getting enough water now, so they're using other means. It would be helpful to agriculture and everything else to have water saved in the good years so that you could use it in the bad years I'm not denying that California's air is dry That's obvious! I'm not denying there is a drought but there IS NO denying that politicians had made this problem immeasurably worse And now we go to our resident chief. Before you go on, she's really aiming at Brown. Brown was one of the guys when he was governor the first time around that was responsible for this sort of thinking. This is why I took it as an insult and slammed her. Nobody mentions that! This is why I'm asking our resident chief

1:20:59 Environmentalist for California John C. Dvorak, C stands for Chief... Jerry Brown was the governor in the 70s. You can look it up while I'm saying this so you get the dates correct He was against building new dams he was against building a second span to San Francisco really said against that and passed some law or something we can't build another bridge and all sorts of things. They called him Moonbeam, which is his nickname because he was so out there he was a hippie running the state of California and the only reason he got the job in the first place because his dad uh... was Edmund G Browne. He was the governor for a long time I think again in the fifties and sixties. Jerry was a kid

1:21:46 inherited the mechanism, the machine that were Democrat machine in California and he still owns most of it. That's why you get in again at the age 70 something So what you're saying is that Fiorina is correct? Yes she's correct thanks John Okay good You got the machine back and your gonna use it The machine is back and rolling Yeah, yeah. So I thought but man that that Botox job that is not okay That is just severely not okay Well we did a report on this about four years ago Maybe that discussing the research which has been somewhat suppressed ever since it came out But I'll repeat because always thought It was interesting then if you suppress if you botox up your face so you can't express emotions

1:22:39 It turns out you can't feel those emotions. Oh yes, and that's kind of the reverse of if you start laughing just for no reason or what do you actually will start to feel happy? Yes it initiates all that and you know what she does look like a sourpuss! Yes because she can't be happy She can't smile. She's a wreck! I think you're dead on with the Botox, I didn't think about it... Well honestly it wasn't me. You know? I wasn't paying attention to it and then Tina said she has like a triangle head completely just a cardboard box done Botox piece of slab It does nothing moves nothing

1:23:30 So she cannot have compassion. Right, that's right! That's the way it is but she's not going to win anything anyway but she could be a candidate or something could be a foot for 26...or 2020 Someone mentioned to me that she might be a perfect running mate for Trump just to get a woman in there I think she would be but She would take it. I think this is 2020 She'd take it. Yes you would You want do anything on Trump? I got a few things on Trump, might as well do a couple of things on Trump. There's a couple of things that happened but they all look staged

CHAPTER 18 / 35 Discussion

Donald Trump and Roger Ailes Staged Feud Theory

The hosts discuss the public conflict between Donald Trump and Fox News, specifically Megyn Kelly. Citing Dan Rather's analysis, they suggest the feud is a staged publicity stunt coordinated between Trump and Roger Ailes to boost ratings for both the candidate and the network.

donald trump· roger ailes· megyn kelly· fox news· dan rather· publicity stunt

1:24:07 And it seems to me there was a little, you know Trump did some tweeting about how Megan is a bimbo. He retweeted somebody else that said she's a bimbo and she's doing a crappy job at all this. And then Roger Ailes came out and says, Trump he has gone too far! So I want to just tell you my thinking on this This was part of the deal There is no question in my mind that this happened When Trump and Ailes came to a conclusion Then Kelly got irked about it and walked off the show for a week Trump and Ailes, I believe came back and did this deal where Trump would insult her then Ailes would come to her rescue. And condemn Trump for giving her a bad time and all would be well You know? I didn't pull this clip because i didn't know you'd have this analysis...I can probably find it This is exactly what Dan Rather said! And Dan Rather's pretty well respected news guy

1:25:02 And he said around the block. Yeah, let me see if I can find this might be worth just listening to Because he said exactly the same he said night. I question this one. I think it's here somewhere Let me see. It's funny because I knew rather was going to be on one of these shows, but I didn't hear it here comes. But could Donald Trump or could any? Oh he is with Rachel win the Republican nomination while also being at war with the Fox News channel specifically never really had anything like the Fox News channel in a previous era that is true history are they? It seems to me that I believe that there can't be a nominee without foxes support. I tend to agree with that however

1:25:44 Trump is raising that question in you. Now, having said that and keeping in mind that reporters such as myself get paid not to be cynical never cynical but to be skeptical I'm a little suspicious without very much evidence of this battle between Trump and Fox What we do know is that Trump is really smart. As I said when he started this run, don't underestimate him and Roger Ailes whether you agree with his politics or not another smart guy Whether they've gotten together and planned this out or not it works to their mutual benefit right now Fox can argue listen We we don't give sweetheart deals every Republican candidate in Trump could say I tell you I'm independent and why say I'm independent? I'm really independent because look at even Fox

1:26:30 Well, there you go. It's kind of similar to one more a couple more aspects to it which is again This looks to me and he didn't mention this I think he's right, but this is a big publicity stunt it to favor Megan There are people that never heard of Megan Kelly. They never they never watched Fox News let alone her show good point got numbers on Fox But that's not the big numbers that they had that Trump showed that they could really potentially get right with the 24 million She gets like what if you know 5 million maybe I think this is all in her favor. And that's what she... and i think this, I think she was told this too because she took off for a week pissed off or it could have been staged

1:27:15 And then she comes back and then Trump comes out and slams her for coming back. It shows better without her that makes people Yeah, just like you know the Jared guy from Subway when he gets picked up for kiddie porn Everyone goes to subway like including me Yes, yeah you too and I and a lot of by the way A lot of people have tried my veggie combo and they all think it's great. All right Let's hear the veggie combo again the veggies so you go in this hi Welcome to Subway And you say I'd like a foot long nine nine grain oat honey oat Untoasted pepper jack cheese yet to say veggie lettuce tomato onions

CHAPTER 19 / 35 Discussion

Jorge Ramos Confrontation and Trump's Persuasion Techniques

Donald Trump's expulsion of Univision anchor Jorge Ramos from a press conference is analyzed as a potential staged event. The hosts discuss Scott Adams' theory that Trump is a master "persuader" and mention Trump's ongoing defamation lawsuit against Univision as the underlying context for the confrontation.

jorge ramos· univision· donald trump· scott adams· defamation lawsuit· immigration

1:27:57 jalapeno, salt and pepper a little bit of mayo and honey mustard. And you have a root beer with it! It's breakfast of champions! Impossible for me to imagine eating that concoction... It's dynamite okay so we're in agreement that's a good deal and for Trump to get the for any aspiring presidential candidate to have an entire network be in cahoots with you a real deal. I mean we all know that ABC is in, but you know still this was a business deal that these guys put together That is pretty impressive Well Scott Adams the cartoonist apparently on this Trump thing because he He thinks he's gonna be our next president well yeah he's wrong

1:28:55 He thinks that Trump is the most fascinating character because he's a hypnotist and a persuader. And so his whole orientation, I don't... Yeah but- I did send you a separate clip that this..I don't want you to play it but i'm going to start collecting these shaggy dog stories Is that an end of show clip maybe? The shaggy dog stuff It's two, it's three minutes. It's a shaggy dark story that needs to be discussed I think we should just keep collecting until we have a couple and then do like a special or something about him He starts off with the- It's all Trump all the time everybody! Well probably not going to do that but he starts off with a premise and in this case the premise was my wife called me she says what are you doing? What are you saying? You're getting nothing but criticism That's the American dream thing where they chop it off

1:29:41 And then he goes on and starts talking, and he goes off topic. He brings this in... he brings that in.... You're still waiting for him to get to the point! But they are all interesting little side stories which is the way Shaggy Dog works. Although they are usually meant as humor but he does them as rhetoric. So let me ask you a question just going back to the Fox-Trump deal This most recent fracas introduced me to Jorge Ramos, who I'd never heard of before. But this is the guy that Trump kicked out of his news conference do you think that maybe he's incredibly smart and set up a deal with Univision?

1:30:22 It's possible. He said in, if you only want to... I don't know how many of the networks played this. I think i heard it on one of the uh like on Democracy Now some station that really hates him he said to the guy then... Wait! I have a clip! You wanna hear the clip? I have a clip about him talking about the lawsuit Oh no, I don't have about the lawsuit. No tell me The lawsuit he says at the end...I have all those clips too and they're actually interesting if you hear the whole thing from beginning to end because he comes back, he welcomes him back it's good to be back and that seemed kind of screwy not everyone ran that They only ran pieces this is a problem with news

1:31:06 But at the very end he says, well you know I have a problem with Univision because you know that... You know i'm suing them for defamation and they're worried because I'm good at this. Do you have that clip? I don't have the clip! I looked for it, I didn't find that. I found the opening and the closure It does exist. Well let me play what I have just so we can set the stage for this For people who haven't seen it So this is Jorge yelling... Is it Jorge? Is that how you pronounce his name Good enough. You're listening to noagendastream.com. Okay, who's next? Yeah please excuse me sit down you weren't called sit down go ahead no you don't you haven't been called go back to univision

CHAPTER 20 / 35 Discussion

White House Support for Joe Biden Over Hillary Clinton

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest signals a preference for Vice President Joe Biden, calling his selection the "smartest decision" Obama ever made. The hosts interpret this as a deliberate slight against Hillary Clinton, suggesting the administration is moving away from her candidacy in favor of a Biden run.

joe biden· hillary clinton· josh earnest· elizabeth warren· 2016 election· white house

1:32:02 You cannot deny citizenship. Get rid of him! Yeah, this begs for a mash-up of him and Obama's no no no no yeah it does if somebody should do that uh this could all be staged you know he mentions Univision I don't know it felt possibly staged to me If you listen to it more than once, let's just in the mind I have the one this was done on ABC. This Trump and journalists on ABC now ABC is definitely trying to slam Clinton more than I think any of the other networks. They really do like Clinton for that White House well because makes you wonder. That is totally a... Let me do an intermezzo while we're at it

1:32:54 This explains it. There is, I think a concerted effort against Clinton the White House spokeshold Josh Earnest when asked about Joe Biden and the secret meeting that Secret meeting with Elizabeth Warren You're listening to noagendastream.com President has indicated his view that the decision he made seven years ago now to add Joe Biden to the ticket as his running mate was the smartest decision that he had ever made in politics. Yeah, no kidding because the guy's goofball doesn't get in the way just makes funny jokes and I think that should give you some sense of the You're listening to No Agenda Stream The president's view Vice President Biden's aptitude for the top job

1:33:56 You're listening to noagendastream.com That means the president would support Vice President Biden if he were to run and this is obviously a better decision The Secretary of State, he chose so uh... You're listening to noagendastream.com That's actually pretty funny He said the best decision was Joe Biden and the worst one was Hillary Clinton You know, these questions at the White House are also all scripted. I think all of you and your coverage of some of... The president's comments about Secretary Clinton have noted how warm those

1:34:50 You're listening to noagendastream.com All talk, no comment. ...comments were made in the re-election of 2012 and so I think you could make the case that there's probably no one in American politics today who has a better understanding uh...of exactly what is required Hello? Oh No. I have a bad connection Yeah but it's probably me You're listening to noagendastream.com All talk, no commercials No Agenda

1:35:57 This is why I need the booster. I don't have the booster yet, and then just move the position of the phone to drop down to one bar. Anyway so i played The White House talking up Joe Biden Right and then you said it's that's pretty brazen Yeah that's pretty brazen because here we have The White House I think pretty much saying screw Hillary she was a bad choice scripted question from the journalist And Joe Biden was one of the best choices he ever made. Now does that mean there's a departure from the Democratic Party or is this just the new normal and Hillary is on the way out? I think Hillary's on the way out. I wish my prediction come true on time which it didn't but...

CHAPTER 21 / 35 Discussion

Caroline Kennedy and Lois Lerner Email Scandals

A new Inspector General report criticizes U.S. Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy for using private email for official business. Additionally, it is revealed that former IRS official Lois Lerner used a secret email account under the name "Toby Miles." The hosts link these stories to the broader theme of government officials bypassing transparency rules.

caroline kennedy· lois lerner· state department· irs· private email· toby miles

1:36:45 There you have it. Hillary, there hasn't been any news recently. There hasn't been another update on the email scandal which ABC has been playing up so they didn't have anything to talk about the email scandal. So to put it back in people's minds they ran this ABC report on Carolyn Kennedy's e-mail. Another story developing right now Carolyn Kennedy facing questions The U.S ambassador to Japan criticized for using a private email for public business

1:37:29 Echoes of Hillary Clinton's recent troubles and our White House correspondent John Carl here with all the details. Hey, John. George this comes in an inspector general report looking at the US embassy in Tokyo. The report finds that senior embassy staff including Ambassador Kennedy used personal email accounts to send and receive messages containing official business including some information labeled sensitive but unclassified now sending or receiving sensitive government information with private email would appear to be a clear violation of government policy. But today the State Department said it has seen no indication that Ambassador Kennedy violated the rules with respect to her email, as for Caroline Kennedy George there's been no response from them yet. We'll see if that quiets the questions okay John thanks very much and now meanwhile they did find a new email

1:38:16 Account from the IRS woman Lerner No, she had a secret a secret email account under the name. Let me see what was the name? It was some crazy name that she used Toby Miles And that was a personal email account that she used which included all kinds of things and hopefully will come to light if they haven't been wiped so-called wipes whenever Wiped yeah, I mean like washed off with the cloth. That's right. That's right Yeah, so it seems it seems pretty obvious that May I think Hillary is probably just waiting Just waiting to you know to get everything all set to be the kingmaker and Waiting for you know bills unfortunate accident usually when you pay those guys they never tell you when they're gonna do something It just happens yeah, yeah, that's true was hard to stop it once. It's in play mm-hmm

CHAPTER 22 / 35 Discussion

Donald Trump's Critique of Teleprompters

Adam Curry plays a clip of Donald Trump mocking politicians who rely on teleprompters, arguing they should be outlawed for presidential candidates. The hosts describe Trump's speaking style as a "shaggy dog story" that uses rambling anecdotes as a rhetorical tool to keep audiences engaged.

donald trump· teleprompters· iowa· political rhetoric· shaggy dog story

1:39:21 We have a couple of interesting little... talking about slanted news. Actually, since we're on ABC let's do my ABC stuff Does this end our Trump coverage? It's going to! I gotta make that better. I have a short Trump clip that i think could be an evergreen Play the Trump clip DDD I know exactly what this is from. They have teleprompters! Let me play the whole clip, because this is the thing that I like about him most... I got home one night and my wife said oh that was such a terrible thing he said it was all over television and the problem I have with tele- look they're all live

1:40:12 What do I do every night? I'm on live television, I'm supposed to make speeches. How do you make the same speech if I try and change it up? These other guys that go around they make a speech in front of 21 people nobody cares they can read the same speech. They have teleprompters! I say we should outlaw teleprompters for anybody right? Anybody! For anybody Running for president. You should be you know how easy that would be instead of this I'm working my ass off Instead of this, I could just stand up ladies and gentlemen thank you very much It's wonderful to be in Iowa. You know everybody's gonna fall asleep and half an hour we leave no mistakes No problems

1:40:56 Yeah, that's part of that was the beginning of that long clip that I have on this separate email over the shaggy dog story just goes on and On and on with one thing after another slamming people left to right and finally getting to the point of his wife Complaining to him. It's just a fake it's a fascinating it's like it's just gotta be the greatest guy they'd have a conversation with mm-hmm So let's go with what we got here with ABC of course, which is the Compromise Network. And I just want to play because every Monday...I guarantee this will go on and I may continue this bit for as long as it goes on. Past your three by three! Every Monday in the C block they do one or two native ads

CHAPTER 23 / 35 Discussion

ABC News Native Advertising and Honest Tea Survey

The hosts document ABC News' use of "native ads" during their Monday broadcasts, specifically a segment about an "honesty test" conducted by Honest Tea. The survey claimed Atlanta was the most honest city while Washington D.C. was the least, which the hosts identify as a paid corporate promotion disguised as news.

abc news· native advertising· honest tea· starbucks· washington dc· atlanta

1:41:35 Ah, yes. We love this! Every Monday on the C-block ABC News National News you can guarantee the third segment they have a... The way they do it is they have It's either an intro and A block but it's a long A block really long A block Wait a minute! An A block is scientifically determined to be 13 minutes You can't be longer than an A block like that Are you kidding? So they do the long A block, then they go to a bunch of commercials and then they come back with a short B block like two items. Cut back to a number or long number of commercials again, whole slew of them I should document the commercials and read em in order just not that whole commercial but who's advertising it is very interesting And then they come to the C block in the way ABC does it They have a

1:42:23 three stories or even two stories for the C-block and it's usually a short little public, I think they talked about the polar bear and something else. A lot of times on Monday it's a short story followed by two native ads. This last Monday they only had one that would jump into the native ad fray. Tell me if you can guess the company that may be behind this? And by the way, the key to this is understand it, anyone who wants to do this These are stories that nobody else does. And a candidate tonight for America's most honest city, it comes from the folks who make honest tea. They conducted a test asking folks in 27 cities to put $1 in a box and exchange for cold drink scouts honor and the winner with 100% honesty Atlanta Georgia. The least honest and you cannot make this up Washington DC where people actually took money out of the box

1:43:20 When we come back, Panda special delivery to the National Zoo. This is the Starbucks native ad format where you have a new product and then you get people to, you know, you do this phony baloney survey. Well it's a real survey 500 people or whatever you have across all of your stores and then you have a press release and then you go oh everyone loves the orange spice pumpkin this year! This is the Starbucks native ad format I don't think Starbucks invented it. Well, i'm just going to call it that just so we all understand. Call it that because they probably do as well as anyone did you hear the Burger King thing that they did with this Peace One Day NGO? No! So Peace One day is a huge NGO non-governmental organization uh...so large that for some reason i could not find their 990 anywhere at least not under peace one day or any derivative of it which is disturbing

CHAPTER 24 / 35 Discussion

Burger King McWhopper Proposal and Peace One Day NGO

Burger King proposes a "McWhopper" collaboration with McDonald's to benefit the NGO Peace One Day on September 21st. Adam Curry criticizes the founder of Peace One Day, Jeremy Gilley, comparing him to the creator of Kony 2012, and suggests the campaign is a sophisticated PR move backed by major corporate sponsors like Unilever and McKinsey.

burger king· mcdonalds· mcwhopper· peace one day· jeremy gilley· unilever

1:44:20 They have Unilever, they've got well obviously Burger King and September 21st is Peace Day. Boy it's gonna be so restful that day! I don't know what i'll do with myself... And here's their fun little ad So Burger King's proposing a burger war ceasefire to join forces with McDonalds on peace day and create the McWhopper That's a big burger with big ambitions a fair amount to swallow, right? So here's a little how where and why to help you digest our proposal. As two of the world's largest brands we're in the perfect position to influence change and like BK McDonalds is committed to leveraging its size scope and resources to help make the world a better place Peace One Day campaigns tirelessly for a better world but they need our help raising awareness of peace day We could rattle a bucket but buckets aren't allowed

1:45:15 proposals like McWhopper make noise. Just ask this guy Hi, I'm Jeremy Gilley founder of Peace One Day the thing i love about the McWhopper project is it walks the walk It leads by example and demonstrates a genuine commitment to peace day and more peaceful sustainable world corporate activation on this scale creates mass awareness and awareness create action and action saves lives We hope you get on board, McDonald's. So do we Jeremy! We can't do this without them. So we've made participation easy in one location one day only. We've designed a proposed pop-up restaurant the packaging even the staff uniforms all we have to do is park our differences for one day and do what we both do best no strings

1:46:02 Together, let's blaze a trail. Build the unthinkable burger and feed the discussion Let's end the beef with Beef on Peace Day September 21st 2015 So this, of course this really benefits no one. This is a non-governmental organization that really does nothing All they do is take money and make little funny commercials but this is... Burger King's one of their big sponsors As I said Unilever Everybody's all in with these guys And I think it's really smart Because first off all It could never happen The logistics of getting new boxes and creating new burgers Forget it! Is never gonna happen But what can McDonald's do?

1:46:44 And I think we'll see whose side the toast is buttered on, depending on what stations do. If they got a big buy from Burger King and will they propagate this? Do they dare to that against McDonald's? This is fascinating! Did you do a pop-up thing which is, you know the way to get around having actually doing anything in the restaurants although I would suspect that if i was the guy that British phony. Yeah and I was trying to dream something up like this I would try to convince both McDonald's and Burger King

1:47:20 to do this joint burger for a week or two with the proceeds from the burger, or at least a percentage of the proceeds. The profits from the burger going into their operation I'm sure that would be fantastic and Both the operations probably both of them. I don't think it was be one that vetoed They say we can't do we're not doing that and there's probably some legal aspect to it of collusion if some FTC rules You can't write two different companies supposed to be competing We can't be selling the exact same product. Yeah, I mean this is this guy Jeremy He reminds me of the Kony kid because all he does is he makes films? So he has

1:47:58 award-winning documentary 2012 guy yeah exactly so he's oh we're very happy day after peace that's his film has been licensed for broadcast in 96 countries uh-huh does that mean they get it for free or how does that work probably not license for broadcast main that means he's getting paid people are playing it and they're paying money for But are you sure? Well, I'm not 100% sure. But here's the sponsors Coca-Cola British Airways UST Global McDonalds Unilever Okay Yeah So this is a some public relations agency well McKinsey and company are Are there is the right hand guy in this they create the impact statement show how groovy they are and these guys just break in the dough

1:48:52 I thought it was an interesting approach. Different, creative...I like it! Is the burger any good? You're never going to see this McWhopper. It will never happen. McWhopper?! No, its not gonna happen as much as you'd we could probably see a change.org petition that's about their style Well, this may also be part of a longer strategy where there isn't but Guaprenas shows up. Hey maybe this is uh A hint of an acquisition Yeah, well that would be a whopper of an acquisition that's for sure I was all right So let me get back to my abc stuff sorry now i have my last if you're not Networks like abc who would do native ads will also do? Ads that are

CHAPTER 25 / 35 Discussion

ABC News Intimidation of Auto Industry via Keyless Ignition Story

ABC News runs a story on a lawsuit against ten automakers regarding carbon monoxide deaths linked to keyless ignitions. The hosts interpret this as "intimidation journalism," suggesting the network targets companies that do not purchase advertising by highlighting their safety liabilities.

abc news· keyless ignition· carbon monoxide· ford· volkswagen· lawsuit

1:49:44 intimidating. You do an ad, you get too many ads it's getting on everyone's nerves that you're doing and now let me see if I can find this clip. Congestion... there is another ABC clip here Oh yeah, here it is. This is the Cars and Carbon Monoxide clip now let me explain what's going on from my interpretation if you're gonna take a corrupt approach toward native advertising and run these crazy ads that we've been documenting for the last few weeks you might also want to do some intimidation of people that should be advertising on the network And they're not, so maybe we should just remind them that we do have a lot of power as a news organization. Again, a story not done by any other networks which makes me suspicious and they show logos on this ad I don't have it because you know radio doing audio only but they bang these logos out at these companies none of them advertising on the news show

1:50:43 Millions of us drive cars with keyless ignitions and ten of the world's largest automakers are facing a major lawsuit tonight claiming those ignitions are to blame for more than a dozen carbon monoxide deaths. Here is ABC's Ryan Owens. Starting your car without having to grab your keys, a modern convenience that a new lawsuit alleges can also put you at risk. The lawsuit filed this morning in California says 13 deaths and numerous serious injuries have been caused from carbon monoxide poisoning, drivers who took their keyless fob but left their car running the garage filling with toxic fumes Mary Rivera is not part of this suit but says she nearly died after leaving her car running. I thought i turned it off apparently I didn't

1:51:30 Today's lawsuit names 10 of the biggest car companies. Some of their cars do have warning lights and tone so drivers know the car is still on, but consumer advocates have long argued those warnings should be standardized further they say all cars should have emergency shut off. You get out of the car and you leave your little interior lights on on, you go away for 15 seconds turns them off. Why can't you just turn the engine off and avoid these needless deaths? Most car companies had no comment on this lawsuit but Ford tells ABC News the keyless ignition system has proven to be safe and reliable and Volkswagen which said safety is a top priority Ryan Owens ABC News Good one! You know if you guys

1:52:18 had been advertising with us, then we probably wouldn't have run a story like that. Which is kind of telling you but saying you're a bunch of douchebags But you know we could probably feature some safety mechanism you have that maybe we just could explain better If you would just, maybe think about it. Just do a little buy! I'm telling ya one of the things going on is these guys on the other side of the wall are actually doing the news they're just out to get you guys We are the only... We're the good guys here at our digital studios where we do native advertising

CHAPTER 26 / 35 Discussion

This American Life Independence and Corporate Media Influence

The podcast "This American Life" goes independent from distributor PRI and begins soliciting listener donations. The hosts discuss how large corporate underwriters like Boeing and Monsanto exert "soft power" over public media, ensuring that negative investigative stories about their industries are suppressed.

this american life· pri· npr· boeing· monsanto· advertising· underwriting

1:52:54 we can protect you from these guys because if you're advertising, I guarantee it's not like we tell them about this. This will prove that they self-censor It'll prove that we have a Chinese wall between our digital division and the news division because you know we can make this happen for you There are a lot of pictures that you can see coming out of this Yeah for sure But that's the way I see that story. Oh, I'm in total agreement you know advert... I think advertising is really in some trouble but what was this American life they went private or they went independent? I should say no longer being distributed by who's a big distributor

1:53:39 uh... i was a bit was that pbs wasn't really and they are no no that's the that's the broadcast partner none of it he needed to use a distributor in reality yes asap others national public radio which is one of them there so uh... nobody's isn't it's a production now on a second what was it called and they were who were then we're using distributed by thought they had been here maybe i'm a little bit more than a pure play with other people you were No, they can't be. As far as I knew...I mean, I don't know maybe they had...I know they were working with a Dutch company. Oh no, PRI. Here you go, PRI which is... Yeah, Public Radio International that's one of the other distributors NPR competes with them Yes! Correct

1:54:27 It is a public radio organization, but they are for-profit. They're not a nonprofit. They're media content creator who also distribute programs so they went independent from them and of course they have the podcast which is very popular guess what they're doing? They're soliciting donations now Well, that's the old model for them. I mean that's where we got to the idea largely from the original models that were done for public radio and public TV They solicited donations That's how they got their money Originally not a new idea They've just drifted away from it that they will see that their big budget operation is going to need more money than they're gonna get from the public. They're gonna start soliciting Ford and Volkswagen, and the Ford Foundation... Underwriters, advertising... The whole slew of them. These guys are- they can't do modern low budget stuff It's not in their DNA!

1:55:26 It's not in their DNA. However, here on the Best Podcasting Universe that is exactly what our DNA consists of. And by the way I want to mention why our DNA is that way because we really do want to avoid the corrupting influence of uh... advertising it's a corrupting influence we bring it out all the time we show it constantly and whether its underwriting or advertise whatever you want to call it it's corrupting and I guarantee these guys are going to be able hang in there on public donations. And just too they want too much, they want too much. And also to expand on that this is why you see advertisers like Boeing like Archer Daniels Midland

1:56:20 I don't know if they... you used to see Monsanto on there a lot. You know, when Boeing advertises on PBS it's not because they're hoping that consumers will not take an Airbus flight alright? It's not like they promote oh I only fly in Boeing these days and want to fly on Airbus No! it is promoting the fact that they are in control Because that's a big ticket item. They got big money flowing in, you know? It's kind of implied you don't really want to do any negative stories on us because that would really hurt if we had to withdraw our underwriting or sponsorship of your program

1:57:06 These companies, I don't care who they are and how well-meaning they are. If you send some journalists into Boeing or any of these big operations to just dig up some dirt there's plenty! It's a big giant company there's gonna be plenty of dirt yeah You hear nothing...you never will hear anything because they bought the media Well let's thank a few people that are behind us Starting with Sir Boris Slav Marinoff uh... from trouble go canyon california one two three four five and some reason he's on your twenty eight is a note he decided you know he should be uh... so she said producer yes it's just as easy yeah okay but we have to read his note send us the renters karma my way if this is repeated donation this is because my previous donation was not counted last time okay since a rental karma and why are well here with that some good

International Donor Roll and Dutch Tabloid Rumors

2:03:27 Now, I'm going to preface this with — I suppose I could go to a ladies' prison and find the worst multiple serial baby killers and get one of them to say that Hillary Clinton's the girl for her. This is Amy Goodman talking about David Duke. Meanwhile former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke has offered praise for Trump's candidacy in his immigration plan saying he's quote, The best of the law." Ha ha ha! I saw that. What kind of news coverage is this? She should be ashamed of herself! Everywhere, I'm saying he's fascist... Everybody loved Hitler before he was elected and then it was elected and then they're like oh boy he's not such a nice guy anymore This is really really... They're at their wits end to invoke Godwin's law If that's all you have left is to say well Trump's clearly like Hitler Come on

2:04:27 Hitler had better hair and it was actually that's kind of this kind of a fractal there to hitler's hair was messed up Well, there you have it. All right But the fact that any good man would do that is just like I mean I have some respect for the fact they bring in news stories That are kind of offbeat an interesting and stuff that mainstream should cover but she is horrible as a journalist to do that It's Report yeah Hitler Donald Trump, Hitler.

Marijuana Legalization Myths and F-22 Deployment to Europe

The hosts debunk a news story about a child getting "hyperactive" from eating raw marijuana, noting that THC must be heated to become active. They also discuss the Pentagon's decision to deploy F-22 stealth fighters to Europe as a provocation against Russia, marking a return to Cold War-era military posturing.

marijuana· f-22 raptor· nato· russia· pentagon· stealth fighter

2:18:43 Just raw weed. This is new, no the raw weed is new Oh it's not a good thing to eat by the way Yeah but you know what? You won't get high Probably not No definitely not THC isn't activated until its been heated So they're all freaking out about this kid that found some weed and ate it and rushed him to hospital He was pale hyperactive High temperature Make it up as you go along people They are totally making it up Hyperactive? That's some shitty weed. No shit! I wouldn't recommend having that weed if it makes you hyperactive.

2:19:23 Let's see, we have a little bit of F-Russia. Oh I wanted to ask you about... I got an F-Russia one too go on Okay let's do F-Russia We have first of all NATO now starting the largest airborne training exercise since the Cold War and they're doing this in Italy Romania Bulgaria and Germany Well worse than that is this clip F22 in Europe oh yes I think I've heard about this Air Force officials say the United States will soon deploy F-22 fighter jets to Europe, a move that military analysts see as a signal to Russia amidst growing tensions between the two countries. The F-22 fighter jet is considered the most sophisticated plane in the world. The announcement comes after the Pentagon said in June it was set to store heavy weaponry including tanks in Eastern Europe for the first time since the end of the Cold War. Wait a minute isn't this F 22 thing that doesn't fly?

2:20:19 No, no. You're thinking of the 32... I think it's the 32? No! The F-22 is that stealth thing. Yeah, the Raptor? It flies?! What is the Joint Strike Fighter? That's a 32, I think. Just look it up. Joint Strike Fighter. Look at the number. That doesn't sound right. I thought 22 was this. No, no, no. 22 is our fabulous stealth fighter. Oh, that's F35. F30...F35 yeah, I'm sorry. F35. I even got them mixed up. Yeah, this is pushing. Meanwhile foreign minister... This is a provocation! Yeah? It snowed in Well here's what Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said The United States has been sending signals it wants to start mending ties with Moscow Why would he say that if we're provoking

RT Coverage of Chernobyl Destination Wedding

RT (Russia Today) features a story about an American filmmaker, Phillip Grossman, who got married in a derelict church in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. The hosts find the story "lame" but interesting as an example of the offbeat human-interest content that mainstream Western networks typically ignore.

chernobyl· ukraine· rt· phillip grossman· russian orthodox church· destination wedding

2:21:15 I don't know. That's very strange what is going on there. This is a Reuters report, but if we receive a proposal to start even gradually restoring these channels mechanisms for dialogue and cooperation that have been frozen by American partners i'm sure we will agree to restore these channels so that's kind of like an olive branch based upon something someone said to him...I can only presume? Well I would have to guess the same thing. I don't you know.. Someone should take a stand Say no. No, we're not gonna do that. I had a very interesting thing, just kind of in the side. You have another Russian story if you want to play it? Okay It would this was just uh... This was on RT and i cut a lot of it out because they had a lot of music and they had these two couple getting married and showed them looking at each other's eyes there is like fluff but I saw this story on RT and said oh man! This is like a perfect network news story its so offbeat

2:22:17 And this is the Chernobyl marriage. Today, Chernobyl is an extreme tourism destination but perhaps not the most romantic one American photographer and filmmaker however doesn't quite see it like that Philip Grossman has spent the last five years working on his documentary all about Chernobyl. He's visited the site many times, he says getting married there is something he will cherish forever It was all my wife's idea She did not she never wanted to have a big wedding one of her friends had mentioned that

2:22:52 you should do a destination wedding so that not a lot of people will show up. And she thought for second and she turned to me and says, we should do it in Chernobyl! Then when we finally got to Chernobyl the head priest would not allow us to do it because neither of us were Russian Orthodox Fortunately for us another priest volunteered to perform the ceremony for us. That was a very intimate small ceremony It was beautiful and then we did some stuff with the camera as well so that our parents could see what we did Hey, hold on a second Chernobyl is not in Russia. No it's in Ukraine So why would the why didn't they have to be Russian Orthodox?

2:23:33 Oh, that church. That beautiful little church is still intact in Chernobyl even though the paint's chipping off and it looks... you know it's falling apart but its gorgeous they showed a bunch of overheads of it uh... It's a Russian Orthodox Church I guess the guy still there some priest runs it and he said I can't do it but then some other guy did What is the point of this story? I'm just thinking this is kind of lame story thats kinda interesting Public you know personal interest thing that the networks would normally pick up on but no no uh-uh. No Well, I doing anything that's got anything to do with anything That's got a new Russia or anything kind of cute like this and then so RT did it?

Lebanon Unrest and the State Department's ISIL Branding

The hosts discuss rising tensions in Lebanon and the role of Turkish President Erdogan in supporting ISIS. They notice a specific linguistic shift in State Department briefings where spokesperson John Kirby repeatedly uses the term "ISIL," which they suspect is a deliberate rebranding effort.

lebanon· beirut· turkey· erdogan· isis· isil· john kirby

2:24:19 I've been... I just found it to be like, if i was the news guy in one of the stations. I would have packaged this up a nice little two minute piece Yeah and that's why we're doing a podcast because we know what's going on Okay couple things regarding the caliphate that we need at least highlight and discuss We have the Wes Clark 7 uh... we've been waiting looks like Lebanon is finally on deck We have NGOs all kicking up stories about Beirut. We have US funded and equipped security forces knocking protesters teeth out I think Lebanon is ready for some regime change

2:24:59 Meanwhile, what's going on in Turkey is... and these are complicated things for us to understand but it really appears that Erdogan does have this whole you know caliphate mindset. Yeah he's all in And from everything I read Erdogan IS ISIS! These guys are funding ISIS they've got the whole corridor open for ISIS They're working with uh... with new to sell these the stoke the so-called stolen oil but it doesn't know what is calling them on this and made something has got to happen i guess we're going he's gonna try elections much and i'd really don't understand enough of how that the turkish government system works but they've been there up to no good in a and i don't understand why well for some others just not more decent reporting on it

2:25:58 I mean, even Joe Biden said back in the day that Turkey was funding ISIS or whatever it is. ISIL Yeah Islamic State yeah and then there was a couple of shows ago they had a cool clip I'm looking at something too they killed the guy who was the protector What's the name of that place? The ruins, the sacred ruins. We're tearing down all the sacred ruins... Can I play one of his songs? No you can't because i'm leading into something you see. Okay well hurry up! Really?! Well just go!

2:26:50 Well, I wanted you to listen to this because i don't understand why Kirby spoke so for the State Department when he did this eulogy for this guy who was so fantastic and tried to stop ISIS from blowing up these ruins. I don't understand why he did the following. ISIL's damage and looting of historic sites in Syria and Iraq which have been preserved for millennia not only destroyed irreplaceable evidence of ancient life in society but also helped fund its reign of terror inside those countries As we respond to the brutality and suffering ISIL inflicts on the Syrian and Iraqi people, We continue to urge all parties in both countries And in the international community To deprive ISIL of this funding stream by rejecting the trafficking and sale of looted artifacts. Now why does he say ISIL twice where he starts off saying ISIL? Is this new, this ISIL? Well, ISIL is ISIL! I know but he's never said ISIL All of a sudden he starts saying ISIL

2:27:50 I have no idea not to mention that. So you haven't picked up on this anywhere else? No, i've not noticed they're trying to make this change- ISIL It's gotta be some branding thing We have another branding underway a branding brand it changed the brand That's the only thing I can think of what else would it be well paid let's pay attention Isil is il because it isol yeah they say isol isol not is so they have is isol isis dash and now I SIL so there's now five anybody in market in mark on love that Markham everybody in Marcom knows you need to have the brand be consistent. There is some modern thinking this says no to that, but I don't think they're doing it. I do not know what it is? I have no idea its crazy! Okay...I tell ya' I do have a theory about the

Destruction of Palmyra Ruins and the Middle East Flattening Thesis

ISIS releases images of the destruction of the 2,000-year-old Temple of Bel in Palmyra. John C. Dvorak proposes that these ancient sites are being leveled to clear the way for future commercial construction and resorts, bypassing environmental and historical preservation laws. A clip from Amy Goodman mistakenly claims Turkey opened an airbase "in the United States."

palmyra· syria· isis· temple of bel· erdogan· construction· amy goodman

2:28:44 Blowing up ruins. Okay, well play my blowing up ruins clip so we can catch up to this Very much overseas now to Syria last time We told you about those priceless ruins 2,000 years old destroyed by ISIS and tonight what appears to be proof? Isis posting new images this Roman temple rigged with explosives ancient columns leveled ABC's Alex Marquardt reports tonight from Syria The temple that stood for 2,000 years. Tonight a pile of rubble here chilling new images of what ISIS claims are its fighters placing barrels filled with explosives around the Temple of Balchimene wiring bombs to its pillars in an instant this archaeological treasure in the ancient city of Palmyra erased earlier this month in Damascus we were shown at how Myron tomb by the man in charge of rescuing Syria's historic artifacts

2:29:36 devastated by the rampant destruction. We preserved a million arts, but we cannot preserve a million sites A site that until now was protected by an 82-year old archaeologist reportedly accused by ISIS of refusing to give up hidden antiquities before he was beheaded just last week. ISIS has looted and sold what they can destroying what they can't, calling it sacrilegious. The UN calls the temple's destruction a war crime and it certainly won't be the last Alex Marquardt ABC News Damascus. Ladies and gentlemen It is time to rub aliiiive So when you're right would you take the basic no agenda thesis? Mm-hmm Which is the idea is to completely flattened the Middle East and rebuild it yeah, possibly even

2:30:29 poison the oil wells, but that's another offshoot of the basic thesis which is to platen it and then rebuild with our big giant construction companies. What is one of the real irritating aspects to building what you want to build? Oh if you have a protected sacred site then you can't just get rid of it right Okay. Yeah, good work everybody! So we must be... These guys do it so that's okay because why are they stopping their war? Their battle or takeover to rig this old... It's not even in the way of anything current but why are they leveling it there's no reason to do that unless you're going to build over it I'm gonna give you that one John. You just couldn't get the permits to do that under normal circumstances. I'll give you a slow clap

2:31:17 It's totally spot-on and I always love it how people like oh Such a show what a tragedy. What a travesty is a bunch of old crappy ass pillars and rocks It's in the way, it's in the way Yeah, yeah that's Erdogan by the way those guys yeah, those are shit down He was trying to remember that so they get that big protest because he's trying to remove a park or something That the people liked that's what these guys do Particularly Erdogan. Yeah, I think you may be on to some of this air to one thing I do here's the clip I was looking for while you're talking about Turkey This is a this is again Amy Goodman and I want you see we can find a very interesting new fact You know never heard this before anyplace else ever But there's a new fact we should take into account play that turkey air bases kicker Okay Should it? You know what I should probably do

2:32:17 Well, no I won't do it because i can't find it. Here we go The Pentagon says the US and Turkey have finalized details of a plan to include turkey in the US-led coalition battling the self proclaimed Islamic State. Turkey entered the fight against ISIL last month opening up an air base in the United States and beginning air strikes against alleged militants in Syria Okay let me listen to it again because I didn't hear anything in there I've got information, man. New shit has come to life! The Pentagon says the U.S and Turkey have finalized details of a plan to include Turkey in the US-led coalition battling the self-proclaimed Islamic State. Turkey entered the fight against ISIL last month opening up an air base in the United States and beginning airstrikes against alleged militants in Syria A lot have alleged but I don't think I caught where you were Opening up an air base IN THE UNITED STATES?

2:33:09 Oh, is that what she said? Yeah! Oh my god. My ears are full of parsley The Pentagon says the US and Turkey have finalized details of a plan to include turkey in the us-led coalition battling the self-proclaimed Islamic State Turkey entered the fight against ISIL last month opening up an air base in the United States And beginning airstrikes against alleged militants in Syria Good catch I'm surprised you didn't hear it because i think you're still reading your own reviews. No, I'm not! Somebody produces the show believe it or not but there are things that take place here that you have no idea are taking place. Alright well let's stick with some caliphate news now

UK Terror Arrests and the Criminalization of Online Research

A 16-year-old girl in Manchester is arrested for possessing the "Anarchist Cookbook" and communicating with a plot participant in Australia. The hosts argue that the UK is becoming more dystopian than Orwell's "1984," as simple online research into controversial topics is increasingly treated as a criminal offense.

manchester· melbourne· anarchist cookbook· jihadi john· surveillance· 1984

2:33:54 This is, in fact the producer who alerted me to this even sent me a link to the No Agenda player so we could smoke our own dope for moment. This is a repeat story that we've heard before and discussed it in April on episode 710 It's almost exactly the same and here we go because of the age we can't identify but in court today this sixteen-year-old from manchester pleaded guilty to terror offenses she used computers at her school to search for information about the so called islamic state about the man known as jihadi john and two pictures that one of the extremists who murdered the soldier lee rigby police officers he discovered plans for a terrorist attack and and that they prayed in australia

2:34:44 Involved in that plot was a 14-year old boy in Blackburn. From his bedroom he'd encouraged the murder of police officers at remembrance commemorations in Melbourne. Police there made a series of arrests before the attacks could happen and here detectives discovered the boy was also in contact with a 16 year old girl in Manchester She wasn't part of the Anzac plot, but they'd sent more than 2,000 messages a day to each other. On her BlackBerry mobile detectives found The Anarchist Cookbook which is a guide to making bombs A document called A Bomb in the Kitchen Of Your Mom and in a sketchbook seized by police They found a viable recipe for explosives Okay so

2:35:29 Pretty much anyone who listens to this show and searches along with the topics can go to jail now. I have all these documents, I have the Anarchist Cookbook, I have the Inspire Magazine which includes how-to make a bomb in your mom's kitchen... And I have the Unabomber Manifesto! Come and lock me up! Yeah pretty much. This is just the beginning. How can that be illegal? It's not. Well it is in the UK apparently! Bill, the UK is like somebody... one of the politicians said this situation here in the UK is worse than 1984. Yeah. Until they have the cages they put on your head with a rat inside them.

2:36:17 uh... okay the and yes so that just finalizing on this if they're blowing up the last bits where we want to rebuild committee maybe it's a it could be uh... it could be a fantastic resort area baby there was still a way yeah absolutely there's no doubt about that now one of the things i say when i was thinking about this at their blowing these things out too uh... was clear the way is that the point for one thing all these are terrible there's seen even be existing a blow them up because they're not as soon to exist as those on nonsense and meanwhile in selling off what they can sell off to collectors right if they can find a collector by some of the can obviously sell some other stuff images blow it up and um... i think you've been blowing stuff up

2:37:06 on and off, all along the way. I think they're just blowing up everything they can to...I think they started slowly to see if there's going to be any real outrage that would result in anything and all we've been getting is oh it's too bad it's a shame And so they said, well let's go now. Let's take some of the big stuff out that we definitely have to get rid of because we can't build a hotel anywhere near this and I'm sure they're leaving some really cool stuff up. But there is a lot of stuff in here. But to me John this means were nearing the end because they're starting to clear the way yeah this is in in the western world and first you get your permits that takes ten years do all that stuff and then once you ready to go leave the first thing he was a bulldozer raise everything people does it so this is the raising as stage so there must be close to did deploying the trigger on all of this stuff to start building but there's also this at this time we have a czar for those who find him

General John Allen as ISIS Czar and Millennial Federal Hiring

Retired General John Allen is identified as the "ISIS Czar" coordinating the coalition against the Islamic State. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice is spending $850 million on cyber training, with federal officials suggesting that "Minority Report" style computer interfaces are necessary to attract millennial workers to government service.

2:38:09 Is it the ISIS czar? Come on, what's the guys name? I don't know. Yes, I have it right here hold on a second It is And and also Erdogan's son has all these contracts to sell the Iraqi oil that he got they set up this BMZ LTD We talked about him before doing this. Yeah, I can't remember But he the czar here general a general John R Allen He is the czar the Isis czar Who got the no-fly zone? She's still there yeah, the island was caught up in the scandal is it the same one John are our a scan I'm sure it is well. He's the czar

2:39:04 They call him the US diplomatic envoy coordinating the coalition against the Islamic State. Wait a minute, do me a favor... So this guy's no longer in in the service right? Well now you're gonna have to make us go to the book of knowledge! You know we can I think this actually warrants a trip to The Tree Of Knowledge. Consult The Tree Let's see what this guy is up to he must be working for

2:39:45 He's retired. He retired from the Marine Corps, right? We got that much Wikipedia school Retired US Marine Corps four-star general and past deputy commander of us Central Command prior to so these back in government is double dipping Okay So but he's doing for that didn't go outside for a little bit into it Looks like you went on the 13th of 2014 even write his special presidential envoy In and out. I mean, out and in! So he didn't go into any... He's not working for any consultancy firm or anything like that? Can't find it. Can't find it. Hmmmm. It is interesting. He has a Master of Science degree in the National Secur- in national securi- This is interesting. He got an MS somehow. Mmhmm. In National Security Strategy from the National War College That's odd. That's bullcrap. He just wanted a degree

2:40:40 He's gone now. I'm seeing looking looking looking looking looking looking look and look I don't see anything outside of the government hmm he must be he must have some ties to some firm that is getting ready to do this like BK are One of these guys there is no evidence that he did anything outside a government, right? Okay Just a few wrap-up bits here first of all on military industrial complex while we're in that The bill, the DOJ is seeking a... well has a contract for cyber training for the army and that contract will be 850 million dollars. For cyber training that's not really implementing anything just for training this is I read a lot of blogs about federal IT funding

2:41:43 It's really fascinating to see the kinds of things that they're looking at. And what they're talking about now, for the new workers and new government workers in order to retain and attract new millennials to stay and enter the federal workforce... Do you know what the big thinking is now in Washington DC? uh... they're going to hire them all the computer professor makes all those cd's for free now you seem to attract the young ones now um... they say that they are going to create workplaces and meeting rooms with minority report like monitors apparently

2:42:34 The thinking is that the Millennials want to have at least six screens, they really get off on it. Who came up with this idea? Anyone watch the Millennials or do you use laptops? This is coming from these federal guys... One of the Navy's commands recently purchased a mezzanine room and he recalled the commander saying we have a heck of time getting people to come to work for the Navy, and if they're there we have a tough time keeping them because were just laden with these old processes in stovepipe systems. But the commander saw the ability to be able to offer modernized tools that would actually attract younger people to come into service instead they want minority report like interfaces monitors and cool screens to work on. Oh brother... Hey man don't shoot the messenger okay?

North and South Korea De-escalation and Show Sign-off

The show concludes with news of a de-escalation between North and South Korea following a landmine incident in the DMZ. Adam Curry signs off from his remote location in McKinney Falls State Park, promising to return for a Sunday broadcast despite the technical challenges of the mobile tour.

north korea· south korea· dmz· landmines· loudspeakers· mckinney falls

2:43:37 I mean, come on. How about working under a structure that's not a bunch of douchebags that think that way? That might be useful. Alright let's get this wrapped. I just wanted to get the North and South Korea story which nobody played it by the way all three networks tried to find this story couldn't find it anywhere nobody wants to talk about this This is the North and South Korea apparently they've calmed themselves are not yelling at each other anymore Here you go. North and South Korea have reached an agreement to defuse the rising tensions between the two countries following an exchange of artillery fire, and threats of increased military action last week. South Korean leaders agreed early Tuesday morning to shut off a loudspeaker that's been broadcasting anti-North Korea propaganda near the border while

2:44:24 North Korea indirectly acknowledged responsibility for planting landmines that recently killed two South Korean soldiers. The South Korean director of national security announced the agreement Good. Yeah, good story strains it out nobody knows this and we have a couple of producers in south korea and uh...

2:45:09 I don't know the demilitarized zone isn't that just a no-man's land or is it supposed to have no militarization? Is that the is at the full concentration of a no man's land. It's because what happened apparently is soul right, is that the North Koreans had planted some mines and then a couple of South Korean guys were in the DMZ than in the Demilitarize own and then they stepped on a mind they And they blew their legs off and that's when they put up the giant voice system again, the big speakers to yell at North Korea and then it went back and forth. Right that's probably as good as any explanation unless you want to bring into Star Trek goes the neutral zone All right And with that we will work a little bit on the technology here try and get it better Wrap while we can Yeah well You know what this is why we do this just to make sure everything Well, you know what screw it It's what it is
