About this episode

The Office of Personnel Management faces a catastrophic security failure following a hack that compromised 20 million federal files, including sensitive SF-86 background forms. This breach potentially exposes the identities of undercover CIA agents and individuals within the Witness Protection Program, creating a permanent blackmail database for foreign adversaries. While the media focused on the Ashley Madison leak, the OPM hack represents a foundational threat to national security infrastructure.

In the United Kingdom, a massive BACS system failure at HSBC prevented 275,000 salary payments and direct debits during a critical bank holiday weekend. Meanwhile, North and South Korea reached a fragile peace accord to end a quasi-state of war, even as the United States conducted live-fire military exercises just 18 miles from the DMZ. In Poland, authorities in Walbrzych deployed military experts to secure a site where ground-penetrating radar reportedly located a buried Nazi gold train. Domestically, the University of Tennessee sparked debate after its Pride Center issued a guide requesting the use of gender-neutral pronouns like ze, hir, and xe for students and faculty.

Technical glitches plagued the new Airstream mobile studio as an iPhone 6 hotspot failed under 95-degree heat in Austin. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the shift in broadcast terminology from cameraman to photographer while critiquing Lance Ulanoff for misattributing the origin of the term podcasting. The episode concludes with a look at the European migrant crisis and the political uprising against President Otto Pérez Molina in Guatemala.

Google Self-Driving Car Event, Austin Thinkery Children's Museum

A promotional event for Google's self-driving cars took place at the Thinkery children's museum in Austin, Texas. Attendees observed the "bean-shaped" prototype vehicles and interacted with Google staff members who indicated that "Phase One" of the rollout—where drivers are trained to take over manually from software—is projected for 2020. The event was characterized as lacking clear marketing direction or public engagement despite the presence of live music and refreshments.

00:00 Swallowing. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday August 30th 2015 time once again for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 752! This is no agenda Protecting migrants all across Gitmo Nation and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star state here in FEMA Region 6. In the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry, and from Northern Silicon Valley where i have a lot to complain about...I am John C. DeVore. It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! Alright.... Good grumpy John! We like Grumpy John or you're not grumpy? Grumpy not grumpy just complaining. I went to a spectacular event last night John

00:45 I went to a garden party. Uh, no...I went to Google self-driving car event. Oh! An event? Here in Austin at the Thinkery Yeah they're trying to get there They were doing it awesome because they're trying to get legislation along with things to be let on the road Well they didn't do a very good job No? No this was the stupidest thing i've ever been too But I was happy I was there of course Because they had free booze Snacks snacks yeah, so thinkery is a pretty cool children's museum here in Austin where they can do all kinds of hands-on stuff It's it's actually one of the not so lame children museums Okay And you know but it's also it has technology stuff and you know some high tech stuff So I've made sense for them to do this. So we head on over there go check it out and In walking around and I'm like well What is the point of this event?

01:45 And no one could really tell me. They had the self-driving car inside, or outside right outside kind of like a red carpet deal. So you were... A little bean looking cars? No the bean was inside Okay With a video playing kind of explaining what it does But the ones that are currently driving around in Austin were outside so inside there was nothing going on except for food and drink which is nice nobody could tell me anything I found a pass You know, a laminated pass just on the ground. It said staff self-driving car Google Staffs so I put that on and So like I got to talk to some other people who were very confused that I was wearing a staff badge yet asking them questions But the whole thing seemed to be you walk up on the red carpet you stand in front of the self driving car They take a picture you can tweet it out

02:34 That was what it was that was the whole event But I but I did talk to two Googlers who were actually on the self-driving car team in Austin They're here. You know they live in San Francisco, but they're here for extended amount of time and Get their cards no Thanks No, I should have you right stupid yeah well because I had the past you know they thought I was one of them It doesn't make any difference still exchange cards by anyway so I pressed a lot about how it was going and said, well you know we're the phase one will be training people when to take over manually from the automatic mode. That's a little disappointing! Why would they ever have to take over? Because this because it's software and it's fucking dangerous that's why

03:28 And then I said, well okay so when do you think phase one will start which is this where you'd be sitting in the car and the car drives itself but you are trained when to take over. He said, When do you think? Well probably 2020. Sounds right! Yeah Phase 1. Phase One. That's a major change in societal change coming up now. Well I don't see this happening for another 10 years at least That'd be 2025. Yeah, I just push it off to 2030 just to make it all fit. Anyway that was a bust! It got a little hammered but that was fun. You know its interesting you think Google...I don't get the impression Google can do

04:17 Customer support, customer care, PR proper marketing. No! Well they have no PR They have an office with a bunch of people in it that answer questions by email They don't even get out there much In fact one the problems they have or I guess they see it as a benefit is that they do stuff and then never account for because they won't answer questions And so that kind of lack of communications with the public would also mean dull events. But there was no one, no one spoke? There was no stand-up thing like we're so happy to be... None of that! Just a bunch of people with a band who had the toughest gig ever because no one's paying attention. You know I hate to be in that band

05:01 They're playing some kind of crazy banjo country music. I can just see the meeting in At Google headquarters, San Francisco it's Texas let's get a banjo Yeah, thanks morons show Really that's the way came across bands with the banjos For those dumb hicks and text access rat stupidly do we should be having some sponsored Paula dent maybe get Paula dent Paula Dent So I paid a lot of attention to Euroland over the past couple of days. Oh, by the way! I'm back in the condo downtown Austin... so i think we had a reasonably successful test of the Airstream that meaning that I didn't- oh hey I'm able to keep it cool enough in 95 degree heat without the air conditioner on We did encounter a glitch

CHAPTER 02 / 31 Discussion

Airstream Mobile Studio Technical Glitches, iPhone 6 Overheating

Testing of a mobile Airstream studio in 95-degree heat revealed hardware limitations with the iPhone 6 used as a network hotspot. The device reportedly stopped routing data when warm, even before triggering a high-temperature warning, leading to stream dropouts and corrupted M4A recordings. Future plans for the "I Love Laundry Tour" include switching to a Verizon MiFi device to ensure connection stability.

airstream· iphone 6· verizon mifi· streaming· technical glitches· mobile studio

05:57 Glitch. A glitch, yeah So two things happened We had a couple of dropouts And what happens on the stream when my signal My stream to the streaming server drops It picks up with some jingles and some elevator music or whatever it is But that's even if there's just a small glitch in the stream! And we had a lot of problems with Here's what I learned The iPhone 6 which I was using for a hotspot and for routing. When it gets too warm, but not warm enough to display that message on the front that says your iPhone is too hot and you have to let it cool down... It just stops routing! And I tried for hours later testing stuff and finally wound up putting it under the air conditioner and then it worked for hours and hours with perfect. So its reproducible

06:51 Which means when we do this on the road during the I Love Laundry Tour, probably have to have a bucket of ice or something. Can't you use a different device? Yeah i've ordered the Verizon MiFi and immediately got a message oh please call the accounts department because we have a problem with your credit history it never ends Just never fucking ends with this bullcrap. It's a phone company Yeah, just if you does your future ladies and gentlemen one of the richest there is I know it's crazy So a lot of people like what? Pay your bill or you don't yeah well there you go what has it got to do with credit They don't trust me you get a bill You pay it or you don't pay it mm-hmm What's it got to do with your credit history?

07:42 I'm just saying. I'm asking you! I don't know nothing, nothing and we're talking about 60 bucks a month. I'm so untrustworthy for that 60 bucks. Well even if he didn't pay it one month they'd just cut your service off thats that. That could happen to anybody. Yeah send the brown shirts over rough me up then you get your money then it's all good But it was interesting, oh anyway so then my recordings were corrupted. I don't know how that happened and M4A when they're corrupted is very difficult to retrieve which is what I mastered too maybe I should not do that, maybe I should do lossless or something Anyway yeah probably should

08:24 So one of these glitches was still in the show because I had to take the stream recording. And we have the backup recorded, but the show was so long that it had missed the end and Martin JJ luckily had recorded the stream. But there was no way for me to see in the three hours that we recorded which you know 245 or 246 was actual programming...I couldn't find all the times that it dropped out because you look at the waveform and you don't notice a silence. It's all you know, it's all one continuous waveform because the stream picks up with its own jingles and stuff. So one was left in and people were like whoa what's going on? Oh man there is a glitch! Whoa what's happening?! Speaking of... Emma Clayton and her three children were looking forward to this bank holiday weekend they'd planned to splash out on a final summer excursion to Scotland but her husband's employer was one of the businesses hit by a banking glitch

CHAPTER 03 / 31 Discussion

HSBC Banking Glitch, UK BACS System Failure

A significant technical failure in the UK's BACS (Bankers' Automated Clearing Services) system prevented HSBC from processing thousands of salary payments and direct debits. The glitch affected approximately 275,000 payments, leaving customers unable to access funds during a bank holiday weekend. The incident highlights the vulnerabilities of centralized electronic payment systems and the "digital money" infrastructure.

09:20 I got 99 glitches. And put a goatee on there, will ya? This report about HSBC which is Comey's former bank the FBI director Comey who was on the board of directors so they had a glitch I have this report which of course is not only irritating because it's about a glitch, but it really shows you what centralized technology... ...is going to be like when our whole lives surround—we would call it the cloud.

10:00 The cloud is so fabulous. And HSBC hasn't paid out his salary It's understood the problem lay with the bank's ability to feed the electronic BACS system Now this is serious, the BACS system This is... Yeah, B-A-C-K Uh, this is the central settlement system that runs overnight these huge mainframe batch processes and it may not be running on mainframe anymore That's why its so glitchy But it completely failed. Now this is, in the UK the way banking works is you have this direct debit system and you just give them your details and... Do we have that in the States as well? Where you just give someone permission to take money out of your bank account

10:57 Do we have a vendor? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, direct payment. Some kind of scam? Exactly! On top of this... It's electronic money that's the point 80% of adults in the UK have at least one direct debit in their name Baxx, the organization behind Direct Debit processed a record 103 million payments in a single day in July Yet computer glitches have plagued several other high street banks and caused their customers serious concern Nat West launched an investigation in June after a technical glitch account payments to go missing and RBS has been fined millions of pounds and faced problems processing wages, tax credits and disability allowances. The bank issued this statement HSBC apologizes for the significant inconvenience caused. We are now processing the payment so that they reach the beneficiary accounts as quickly as possible. When you have a centralized system like the BAC system and it breaks

11:55 And people literally cannot access their digits because it's not money, just the digital money. That's...it's not appropriate to call it a glitch anymore! You need to tell us what happened. You need to investigate mainstream and get down to the bottom of it. This is going to be your life." So back systems in this company are worldwide? Yes, it's big. If you try to look them up on Wikipedia there's nothing defined Really? Well, I'm looking and looking. I could be wrong Huh that's strange Yes what i'm thinking here we go back system Backs BACKS I'm sure they were upgrading something or some bull crap like that huh funny you say that I can't find it either now well That would be even more reason for the mainstream to look into it anyway But just another glitch story which I hate I hate them

OPM Data Breach, Witness Protection Program Exposure

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) hack resulted in the theft of over 20 million files, including sensitive SF-86 background investigation forms for federal employees. Concerns are raised that the breach exposed the identities of undercover CIA agents and individuals in the Witness Protection Program, creating a massive blackmail database. The discussion suggests the Ashley Madison hack may have served as a media distraction from the national security implications of the OPM data theft.

13:00 All these things flying around and you know this is gonna happen effect. I have a clip One of the few you have a cliff I'm actually trying to get down to six clips Great the show will be short record of clips, and he said do a whole show on six clips okay? Did you get any more in the bank no because if we're going to talk about centralized computing? I want to mention this let's do it so I had I was listening to uh, Blago. What's Blago? Is Blago on here or where is my clips? I don't see Blago. This is going to ruin my day if it isn't on here. Oh baby! I do not see Blago. Now we are gonna have to go get Blago and put him in the show later. Would that mean an older clip you already gave me? Yes, actually yeah. Blago's brother? Yeah. Okay now I'm gonna set this up. Wait a minute just give me some props

13:58 Fantastic. There you go, onward You remember Blagojevich the guy that was in Illinois and Clinton's... not the Bushes, not the Clintons The Obama's set him up Oh, Blagojevich Yeah, of course. Blago, yeah I gotcha. Well Blago had a brother and the brothers they tried to set him up... And Blago was his name-o! Okay, playtime's over. Shoved under the rug because of the Ashley Madison breach with which kind of like took it over as a topic story Yes, yeah We can't talk about more than one breach at a time glitch glitch But then when he gave us nothing I just it just dawned on me what a absolute

15:09 country-ruining event this must have been if you listen to the little just a couple of things I never even thought about. About surveillance, of the OPM hack The worst national security nightmare with more than 20 million files including my own. I filed SF86 in the old days when i was in government. I had three full field background investigations done on me they were all in the files of the FBI As is the background on all of our nuclear scientists who work at Lawrence Livermore. As is everyone in the Witness Protection Program. Oh! As is every FBI and CIA agent, they're all in the OPM files which have been hacked. Dang! The Witness Protection Program? Oh boy...

15:49 The Witness Protection Program, now people moan the government. Oh Snowden he's such a bad guy! Meanwhile they have just breached all the CIA agents that are in these files? Man oh man Isn't this like a big deal Yes It says we're the most protected thing...oh god we can't let anyone know who is working for the CIA because it'd be half of them Well I'll tell you who works for the CIA Joe Biden's kid Hunter He must be working for the agency because he's now on deck to obfuscate the OPM hack, because his email address showed up in the Ashley Madison database. Now this is the Koch guy right? The Koch-Biden kid? I don't know which of the Koch kids it is... Well there are other ones dead but I think this is the Koch kid and he's saying oh no Russian agents did this they used my name

16:49 Yeah, sure. Right? That makes sense. It's always all over the news with it. I don't know... Well yeah, it's an obvious case if they have the witness protection program details this is worth millions to the mob maybe more Billions. If they have all the CIA agents which also means they would have the DIA agents and this in the State Department's little Sure Intelligence group They would have everybody This is beyond ridiculous. Well, I did mention that it needs to be discussed more and I got a bunch of email from people saying, I was in that database and I've been screwed and you know the credit card information doesn't mean anything but there's all kinds... he's got some strange things going on around his life we don't want to discuss in too much detail but this is an outrageous catastrophe! It really is

17:45 I didn't know about the witness protection program. This is a huge problem. Yeah And let's see how many people have been fired? Not correctable, yeah How many people have been fired over there? I have a list It's very short it said on grain of rice you wrote this list black blank piece of paper. Yeah that is man No one's talking about that. No, they stopped I was looking at the timeline there was a lot of information when it first happened and then all of a sudden in August after about a month of people going back and forth to try to have hearings the Ashley Madison thing broke and there has been nothing since And i read... Was it John McAfee? He has a whole theory this is inside job by one woman The OPM hack? Yeah! Oh no, the Ashley Madison hack oh sorry That could be

18:39 by one woman. Well, but that would make a lot of sense if it was...if it wasn't a uh...if it really because you know these the so-called impact team which to me sounds like a CIA cover name I mean who else comes up with that? The Impact Team um What was I saying? I've completely lost my train of thought. You do John McAfee, one woman impact team. Right right right so if they did want to obfuscate the OPM hack then you know then having one operative inside the company...then who gives a crap about this company but it got everybody worried everybody's distracted because every politician is like oh crap is my name in it whether they put it in there or not

19:22 Meanwhile, the witness protection program is busted. That's unbelievable. Everybody who has ever worked for the CIA... Batten down the hatches! Especially since 2000 I do take pleasure in that one distant cousin of mine As you recall, we were up at Mead Road at Uncle Don's house. The one who wouldn't talk to you because he didn't have the right clearance? Yeah! I knew that gut of yours... Hey kid how do you feel now with all your clearance?! We know all about your sexual adventures That stuff is on the forum All of that stuff That FS86 I think is what it's called It's crazy

20:04 Yeah, it's horrible. This is like a big this is this is your perfect blackmail database I believe it was take you know they say the blame on the Chinese That's if it was the Chinese we've got serious problems But I think it could be the Russians It could be anybody could be a renegade group who's gonna sell the data first You got to organize the data which shouldn't take too long and but you need an Oracle database hmm you think that you know maybe The spooks inside Oracle could keep tabs on who's running big numbers. Well, it wasn't a hack...it was stolen credentials! Right. The easiest hack of all. And then they just started draining the system. Yep, suck it all out

20:46 This is going to happen to everybody's medical records too. Oh yeah, at some point they've... The reliance on technology because your iPhone just kind of works which it doesn't it crashes these things crash too is insane that everybody's all in No, they're all in the medical database of my doctors little doctor's operation nearby They were forced. They're forced by the government yeah otherwise you don't get paid by Medicaid Yeah You won't get paid unless you'd like a guys everything you do so all records have to be in on a little laptop And you can just see this isn't good This is gonna Be bad it's me now The only other possibility which is always my theory about a lot of this stuff is

21:33 all this data is actually pretty safe because it's in the hands of progressive insurance company. And they're just going to use... Did you know that she worked for the CIA? Oh, she's got a lot more for her health insurance than... Exactly I mean that would be the only good thing that could come out of this but This is just to me a disaster Well if that were a clip I'd give you Clip Of The Day Good find Very good find Actually was a clip It was a clip Your explanation wasn't a clip Well, the clip was in there. You just jumped to it when the guy said witness protection. No, I think you get it right off the bat. It's early though. And I take a little bit of the clip of the day for actually having the clip. Yeah okay fine So something else not discussed really about four or five days ago we had a fantastic report after

CHAPTER 05 / 31 Discussion

North and South Korea Peace Accord, US Military Exercises

Following high-level talks, North and South Korea reached an agreement to end a "quasi-state of war" sparked by landmine incidents in the DMZ. Despite the diplomatic resolution, the United States and South Korea proceeded with large-scale live-fire military exercises 18 miles from the border. Analysts suggest Kim Jong-un may have executed or dismissed senior generals following the standoff to maintain internal regime discipline.

22:32 You know, two South Korean soldiers got their legs blowed off and they threw up the giant voice system and are yelling at them. Which is the appropriate response when someone blows your legs off just go, hey you guys suck! North and South Korea here's the report After marathon talks an apology has ended to crisis between North and South Korea Kim Kwan Jin, South Korea's chief presidential national security advisor read the joint statement in Seoul Last month, two South Korean soldiers were injured by landmines along the demilitarized zone. In response, Seoul resumed anti-North Korean propaganda broadcasts which led to an exchange of artillery fire. North Korea expressed regret over a recent land mine incident in the south side of the demilitarized zone along the military demarcation line that wounded the South's soldiers

23:25 South Korea agreed to halt anti-Pyongyang propaganda broadcasts along the MDL from 12 o'clock local time on August 25th. North Korea agreed to end the quasi state of war." The statement also said that two Koreas would hold follow up talks in Seoul or Pyongyang, to discuss ways to improve ties. So that was five days ago and this is of course is a big ass problem! Yeah, this is the same exact clip I played four days ago on The At Last show. Right! By the way...I want people to go back and rewind a little bit. Well, I have a follow-up clip but go ahead On this particular uh..the introduction to this clip that you did just now it was It sounded as if YOU were talking and then went into a voice

24:16 Oh, really? It was so seamless. I took me like...I had to hear this guy for maybe five or six words and said wait a minute that's not Adam doing the voice Huh That was really whoa Let me hear that again Anyone out there who heard that Everyone heard that it was extremely creepy My name is Adam Curry and here is The North Korean After marathon talks No but I don't think it sounds like me at all Yeah Okay Well You listening to it sounds...I'm telling you its seamless Okay But let me move on with the story. Okay, go on so I can distract you... So having North and South Korea making up is of course entirely against the mission of the military-industrial complex as you recall from my discussion with Uncle Don he even himself said oh yeah we need to make all kinds of noise coming out of North Korea because we're selling two billion dollars worth of crap to the South Koreans! This is six days ago or five days ago

25:10 What do we do? What does the United States of Gitmo Nation America do after this... I mean, we have a peace accord. People are shaking hands across the table. Oh no, okay. We'll have none of that! Targets on a mountainside lit up in precise spectacular fashion An E-737 Peace Eye surveillance plane flies overhead. It can detect North Korean troop movements from across the border. South Korean F16 fighter jets fire their ordnance and more targets are destroyed. Syrian helicopters fire flares to evade surface to air missiles, then rope drop commandos to the ground

25:50 These joint US-South Korean exercises are taking place just 18 miles from the demilitarized zone. They're designed to reassure South Koreans, but there's a swagger on display here as well. You should have seen the video for this! They're blowing up things in the air and V formation like firework display with big targets on the ground, they get tanked just blow and shit up. South Korean forces showing confidence after they responded to the North's recent provocation with disproportionate firepower and forced Kim Jong-un's regime to the bargaining table. Showing this sort of... Oh, see now they say that this is why they were forced to the bargaining table which it just not true! It's just not true! The North Koreans said hey man we're sorry about that We didn't mean to blow up your guys legs, we're sorry let's fix this And then now we're like oh well we gonna show them what he holds with our exercise This a very spectacular military exercise Spectacular

26:45 I think, ultimately it's not helping the situation. It could drive the North Koreans to react again and this could lead to another dangerous situation as we just seen. Across the border Kim is claiming victory in the standoff but also exacting punishment his news agency saying he has quote dismissed members of his central military commission. Oh let's speculate what that means What could dismissed mean in this case? Well, in this case these individuals they could have been executed. Fed to the dogs like everybody else! They could have been sent to the countryside. Sent through the gulag... what?! Flamethrowers are my favorite.

27:22 Analysts say those dismissed are likely senior generals taking the fall. Given the timing of their dismissal, it is almost certainly related I would say to their performance over the most recent crisis so clearly Kim Jong-un is not happy with what they've done. Analysts say Kim could have been monitoring his general's performances in the crisis... He's a crazy kid! ...Almost in real time Top generals in North Korea, they say are more heavily surveilled than any other officials there. Oh right! They're wiretapped always watched if you're a senior general in North Korea unlike us here in America we never wiretapped or watched yeah who's got eyes on you? The people around you are they reporting on you oh they telling others who are reporting to Kim Jong-un that you're not paying attention you're not in sync with his vision

28:11 So there you go. We have a peace agreement starting, hands across the table everybody's great and what do we do? North Korea! Bomb them. We need to kill and bomb them. Bomb them. We need to kill and bomb them. Bomb them. We need to bomb them. We need to kill them and bomb them again Hell yeah Pathetic Really is. Hey, don't want to lose any sales on this deal! Oh no way we're not gonna lose any sales uh-uh Something came out this morning It's from our LGBTQI AAP Department the University of Tennessee Knoxville has come out with a guide and I believe we should be following this guide John Okay This is from Donna Barquette the director of The Pride Center

CHAPTER 06 / 31 Discussion

University of Tennessee Gender-Neutral Pronoun Guide

The University of Tennessee, Knoxville's Pride Center released a guide requesting that faculty and students use gender-neutral pronouns such as "ze," "hir," and "xe." The guide encourages professors to ask students for their preferred pronouns during roll call to create a more inclusive environment for non-binary individuals. The initiative has sparked debate regarding the etymology of these terms and the role of diversity scholarship in academia.

university of tennessee· pronouns· gender identity· lgbtq· diversity· inclusive language

29:14 at the University of Tennessee. And she wrote a blog post here, or it's an actual section on their website... "...with the new semester beginning and influx of new students on campus," "...it is important to participate in making our campus welcoming and inclusive for all." One way to do that is use the student's chosen name and correct pronouns. We should not assume someone's gender by their appearance! Hey, what you packing there? Nor by what is listed on a roster or in the student information systems. Transgender people and people who do not identify with the gender binary may use... Yeah, gender binary write that one down. Ah yeah! There's the show title right there. May use a different name than their legal name and pronouns of their gender identity rather than the pronouns of the sex they were assigned at birth Who assigns that God how is it done? The who assigns

30:12 If you're assigned a gender, does that mean God does that? Who is the World Health Organization? Hey! That kid...that one's female. Introductions In the first weeks of classes instead of calling roll please ask everyone to provide their name and their pronouns Oh brother This ensures you are not singling out transgender or non-binary students I'm non binary today The name a student uses may not be the one on the official roster, and the roster name may not be the same gender as the one that student uses now. This practice works outside of the classroom as well! You can start meetings with requesting introductions that include names and pronouns

30:52 Where are you reading this from again? From the University of Tennessee, Knoxville website. What is wrong with these people?! Well let's get down to the meat and potatoes. Introduce yourself with your name and your chosen pronouns or when providing name tags ask attendees to write in their name and pronouns! Now they have a little box here-a little orange box with actually I'm gonna put this on Skype for you because i want you see this we have to do this one together You only do this because it's going to irritate me Well, what else am I doing the show for? That's true. Okay. Okay this is on your Skype there There it is So here's the little box so we have the gender binary which is she her hers

31:35 A slow clap. She... Hold on, hold on! You're jumping the gun! Let's go back to gender binary We have the subject is she the object is her The pronoun is hers and pronunciation as it looks so she-her-hers he him his then gender neutral which is what you should be using Is Z No, no. The real gender neutral is the ones that writers have been using for years. Xe? No they! Oh they them their right but it seems to me... use this singular according to the asterisk

32:17 Yes, that's the way you would do it. You would this is the way most writing has been going over This has been for 20 years or more longer which is the? It's because you get tired of saying he when your you know computer user then he did this He did that he did this he did that which his weight used to be and then you'd have some bonehead come in and change it all the he's too she and it sounded idiotic And so you go now you can do everything as a It's singular, but it's actually written in a grammatically correct way. Anyway just a little thing to look for. So the gender neutral...the correct gender neutral way to address someone with their pronouns is Z here hears or Z zeer zeers and Z zem and zeer Hey! Zem guys over there! With an X? With an x. Zem guys over there what are they doing

33:10 Z's got a big package. So I say, hi... What are they talking about? This is- I've never seen this before! This is complete- Somebody made this up No! I don't think so Yeah they made it up They put in and somehow got traction And now they're laughing at each other My name is Adam Curry You may address me as Z Hi my name's Adam It's my badge Z What does that mean? Oh just because you're gender neutral? I'm gender neutral Z Z. E. Well what's the difference, I'm going to ask you then, I'm gonna ask a question since you've been reading this studying it. What's the difference between z and z with an x? Yeah i don't know! I don't understand it. And what is there between here h-i-r... well here it is ...and zero with an m...

34:07 But gender neutral pronouns. We are familiar with the singular pronoun she, her hers and he him his but those are not the only singular pronouns in fact there are dozens of gender neutral pronouns Dozens I tell you! A few of the most common singular gender-neutral pronouns are they them their or zee here hears and zee zem zer xyr that's my favorite zer Adam Curry zer These may sound a bit funny at first, but only because they are new. The she and he pronouns would sound strange too if they had been taught Z when growing up. Hey! Where'd they come from? You don't know?! Who dreamed them up? I wanna know. You should look it up

34:47 How do you know what pronoun someone uses? Well, if you cannot use the methods mentioned above. You can always politely ask oh nice to meet you insert name What pronoun should I use it is a perfectly fine question to ask i'm going to try this everywhere I go somebody insists that you use it I can't wait We have an Obama bot dinner Monday night and say hi i'm Adam Curry which pronoun should I use for you because yeah you don't look like a dude Should add that you don't really look like a dude should I use the program? You're wearing makeup. You got long hair You're really pretty and in normal sense, you gotta dress on what do you want me to call ya Z Z okay urine it's outrageous

35:30 I'm telling you, this is a joke. I don't think so! This is somebody at the University of Tennessee hacked the system. Let me see it's written by Donna Barquette. Diversity dot utk dot edu Yeah? Let's see what that home page looks like Okay The office And this in Tennesse people Yeah Be your students' father Even in Berkeley they have never heard such a thing This is great inclusive areas. Now we have a picture of a bunch of diverse people, very diverse. They all look like Z's to me. No. It's committed to creating a vibrant multi-culti, multi ethnic community where diverse students faculty and staff are recruited and retained and where diversity scholarship is what diversity scholarship is the one that should tell us where these words came from. But let me see the pride center. Hmm.

36:23 Mmm, events. I want the etymology of these words Okay okay well someone will send it to us in the meantime please use my pronoun Zee okay zee okay see um I'm Zee in the morning I'm Zee and then you say what and then you say in the morning I'm Zee asshole oh man no fantastic now I really got a chuckle out of that Really, really got to chuckle out of that. It's definitely up there. We have gone crazy. Well staying with the Schula, the first results are in from Common Core and as you know Common Core...the main driver behind Common Core, the Common Core state standards is that every state would have an equal measurement system to measure how their students are doing

CHAPTER 07 / 31 Discussion

Common Core State Standards Testing Results

Initial results from Common Core-aligned testing show that the goal of creating a uniform national measurement system for student performance has largely failed. Many states are opting out of shared testing groups to develop their own exams, making it impossible to compare academic data across state lines. While some scores were higher than expected, the lack of transparency and consistency remains a primary criticism of the program.

common core· education· standardized testing· state standards· academic performance

37:26 And Associated Press reports today, results for some of the states that participated in Common Core Aligned Testing for the first time this spring are out with overall scores higher than expected because of course the test was lower. Though still below what many parents may be accustomed to seeing now even when all the results are available it will not be possible to compare student performance across a majority of states which is one of Common Core's fundamental goals What began as an effort to increase transparency, allow parents and school leaders to assess performance nationwide has largely unraveled chiefly because states are dropping out of the two testing groups and creating their own exams. So the main driver of this is to have a common standard across all states has failed And they don't think that they can ever get it back together again so this thing should be just eliminated. Eliminated!

Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger, Smithsonian Bust Protest

A group of African American pastors and bishops held a protest at the Smithsonian Institution demanding the removal of a bust of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood. The protesters cited Sanger's history with the eugenics movement and white supremacist ideologies as reasons she should not be honored alongside civil rights icons. The segment notes that Hillary Clinton received the Margaret Sanger Award in 2010, which remains a point of political contention.

margaret sanger· planned parenthood· smithsonian· eugenics· hillary clinton· racism

38:23 I don't. Yes, but what are you going to do now? States will figure it out. The states can do that, I believe. That's what they're supposed to do. There was a big event with a bunch of black pastors and a bishop and the whole bunch of dudes at the Smithsonian Institute And this is Catching Storm. I really like this, obviously it's a setup but that's okay and for another obvious reason it didn't get any traction in the mainstream as far as I could tell This is about Margaret Sanger who is the founder of Planned Parenthood But originally your course... I'm sorry? As someone who's studying the networks I can assure you there's got no traction on them not heard if there's No traction This is why it's on your NO Agenda show We play the non-traction

39:12 But it was a real event with a bunch of these guys hanging around outside the Smithsonian. And they said, you know this Margaret Sanger she started the Eugenics Society of America and this Planned Parenthood thing is just an outgrowth of eugenic which means that they really want to kill black people Black Americans specifically. Why in the world are we honoring her? So yes, there's a bust of Margaret Sanger in the Smithsonian I should add. We should not only take her bus out of the museum, we should unplanned parenthood! Not spend a dime on tax dollars on unplanned parenthood! This is Bishop. A bishop! The woman was a racist She was a genocidal figure in America and in human history

39:58 And to honor her is to be complicit in her evil and racism. That's right, if you are honoring Margaret Sanger You are joining together with her in her racist ideology So she may have never used the term that is Margaret Sanger but she was clearly a white supremacist That term is used today as political weapon often without any facts to back it up We've got facts to backup that Margaret Sanger was a white supremacist We've only been saying this on our show for what, five years? Maybe six. Because it's not just us but each one of us represent a number of people across this nation and if you really want to bring this nation together again putting that mess up there like that is not going to help Last thing we need is the white supremacists sitting between the bus of Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks That's just slapping in the face to black folks And I hope the curator can understand that Yeah yeah yeah The curator don't give a shit what your saying man

40:55 This is great. And then finally, Reverend Dean Nelson? We cannot condemn a shooter in Charleston and celebrate Margaret Sanger. We cannot condemn police officers in Ferguson and celebrate Margaret Sanger! Our nation needs to come to grips with the reality that the woman whose bust is in this facility was not a champion of women's rights nor a champion for the cause of the broken and downtrodden. There is no real conflict! There you go, very good Rev Bish all you guys good work No one cared but good work at least your doing it

41:39 I would say that this is dirty, political dirty tricks and it's extremely well done. Oh it's definitely... Hillary Clinton to accept Margaret Sanger award! Wait, is she gonna accept the note? You're kidding me. She already got it. No. Do you have this? Maybe she's going to accept it here it is Let's see. Oh man, perfect! Yay! When you say good dirty tricks you have to really go wow who did it? Okay she got it in 2010. Okay she already received it then but she's got it and she was proud of it yeah big deal when she got it hmm well that you know the war against Hillary is definitely on I could not believe ABC

ABC News Investigation, Bill Clinton Speaking Fees

An ABC News investigation revealed that Bill Clinton sought approval from the State Department to give high-paid speeches in North Korea and the Democratic Republic of the Congo while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State. Although the State Department declined these specific requests, records show Bill Clinton earned over $48 million in speaking fees during his wife's tenure. The report highlights potential conflicts of interest involving the Clinton Foundation and foreign regimes.

bill clinton· hillary clinton· abc news· speaking fees· congo· north korea

42:15 ABC is... As I have pointed out. You're doing your three by three? ABC is out to get Hillary, I do have two clips on top of yours Okay here's mine Now emails obtained by ABC News Public records request Is it the same clip Well yeah but I was going to use it as the second clip It's more of a punchline Alright then do your sequence Screw it So let's start with this was last Thursday's news This is the ABC going after Clinton and Trump And now before you play it You have to...we talked about this when they did the debates. They had the big... Republican, yeah. Next to every Republican as you spoke. This was one of the more interesting ones because you've heard about this survey and this was a big survey about it. What's the first word that comes to mind when you think of Hillary Clinton? Yes I saw this. The word cloud. In DC they did three people and they put their names up.

43:08 And they discuss some of it when this report, but you can't visually see it. When you visually see it there's a picture of Hillary and then all the words in one of those like... Word cloud, word cloud. Yeah word cloud is like a heat map where the most important biggest word and then he shrinks its size. And hers is liar or something. Unreliable. had all those words and then they show lesbian there was no lesbian on that I don't get it. They didn't talk to me. And they had Trump and then they showed blow hard with the big word, and then when the third one was Bush And he downplayed the Bush one by saying that the word that comes to mind is bush because it is. Right, just bush. Which has actually good branding. Yeah, it's great branding! And they kept it on for just a split second but the other words on there were like trustworthy, faithful honest... They had all these words and it was just like bang and just flashed on the screen so they're doing a little subliminal action. A little?

44:05 a little. They're doing a little subliminal action, but their target is clearly Hillary Bush's obviously they're going to go to. Women's health and women's health issues are better than anybody and far better than Hillary Clinton who doesn't have a clue a Bush. You have to do an inspection here, this is getting crazy! But maybe the word of the day? Bizarre Trump on the trail in South Carolina inviting a supporter on stage...to touch his hair to prove once and for all that it is indeed

44:55 real. That thing about the hair, every network played it. Yes of course! She comes up and she looks at his hair and she says yeah he looks real to me Trump is a brilliant man The full clip which I've only seen once consists of Trump He's up there doing one of his ad-lib speeches And he's reading from the New York Times

45:33 And he says in the New York Times, he said here's the New York Times they say The Man with the Wig Donald Trump. No, no, Toupee, Toupee, Toupee. The man with a toupee Donald Trump. It was a Spanish journalist Right then he goes into I haven't got a toupée and then he has somebody come up to confirm that which is a little different i think than just out of the blue Which is what they made it look like He's just so nuts that out of the blue he'd have somebody come and check his hair Now if it was set-up...it was a good setup Yeah, I see you're out to get him. So we go from that and then the next day which is the Friday report on ABC Every show i'm now picking up on what's the anti-Hillary campaign And this is still the three by three? Three weeks three networks. Very good public service so I am looking at...ABC did this story You spotted it too This is a clip that none of the other networks touched

46:26 Nobody touched this. This was not on Democracy Now, this was not on NBC, this was not on CBS. It was only on ABC who are all in many of the ABC News staffers are married to people in the White House with high positions. Not at a race for 2016 Hillary Clinton... Let me just add one more thing I should mention from the last clip you have to remember that George Bush who they're promoting was governor of Florida where Disney World is and they got lots of breaks from the governor's office. There's a go back and forth. Yes, yes, yes, of course ABC Disney owns. Yes makes a lot of sense as they yeah, of course now to the race for 2016 Hillary Clinton facing a new firestorm tonight over her husband's emails showing Bill Clinton asked for the green light to give speeches with ties to some of the most brutal regimes in the world for big bucks

47:20 all while his wife was Secretary of State. ABC chief White House correspondent John Karl broke this story and he's back on the case tonight. With its vast army, nuclear weapons and the world's most notorious dictator North Korea would seem an unlikely place for a former president to make a buck but emails obtained by ABC News show Bill Clinton tried to get approval to give a North Korea speech while Hillary was Secretary of State. The request coming from one of his top aides to Mrs Clinton's chief of staff, Cheryl Mills. Mills' terse reply? Decline it! But the former president's aide asked for an explanation. Mills wrote back to tell Bill Clinton if he needs more let him know his wife knows and I'm happy to call him. The emails came to light because of a lawsuit by the conservative group Citizens United

48:09 Today, Mrs. Clinton acknowledged her husband asked for approval to give this speech and many others there were some unusual requests but they all went through the process to try to make sure that the State Department conducted its independent review. Another unusual request, a speech for $650,000 in the Congo attended by two of Africa's most notorious dictators. Clinton's own speaking agency recommended declining the invite noting quote the prevalence and intensity of sexual violence against women in eastern Congo is widely described as the worst in the world. But Mr Clinton did not want to take no for an answer, his aide asking if he could do this speech

48:56 All the money went to the Clinton Foundation instead of to Clinton directly. Neither of those speeches happened because ultimately, The State Department didn't approve either of them but all told Bill Clinton made over 48 million dollars giving speeches while Hillary was Secretary Of State. Tom? These people are evil! Can you imagine 48 million that's all bribes?! Yeah Yeah, of course it is. It's just bribes! You don't get paid $650,000 to give a speech in the Congo? What- what- how is that anything but a bribe?!

49:34 And nobody covered this story but ABC. Yep, and of course the great democracy now wouldn't cover that many other things to discuss and once citizens united is anything to do though we can't do anything. We can't be doing anything Republicans yeah we can't do that someone just sent me a clip from the chat room with Mika Brzezinski fondling Donald Trump's hair on air No audio, but she's there. She's she's pulling his hair up

CHAPTER 10 / 31 Discussion

Donald Trump Immigration Policy, Bill Maher Nazi Comparisons

Media coverage of Donald Trump's immigration platform has increasingly utilized comparisons to historical fascist regimes. On HBO's Real Time, Bill Maher and guests discussed Trump's rhetoric regarding the deportation of undocumented immigrants, with some comparing his language to that of Adolf Hitler or George Wallace. The discussion also addresses Trump's confrontation with Univision anchor Jorge Ramos and the validity of net migration statistics from Mexico.

donald trump· bill maher· immigration· jorge ramos· hitler· fascism

50:14 He is fantastic. Yeah, that guy I love that guy he just tickles me well hold on a second this so there are couple of things we need to talk about here now he could be the guy behind the dirty tricks for that Sanger thing definitely Republican Yeah, move. Absolutely no doubt about it So here's a let's just stay with the Clintons I already said identified this I said the new meme is Donald Trump is Hitler and We picked up on this on Thursday and It's just continuing Let's start with Hillary. I find at the height of irony that a party which espouses small government

51:01 Would want to unleash a massive law enforcement effort including perhaps National Guard and others. This is about Trump's idea to get rid of all the illegal aliens To go and literally pull people out of their homes and their workplaces round them up put them I don't know in buses box cars in order to take them across our border. I just find that not only absurd but appalling. Boxcars like da Jews! She never said any of this by the way, she is just lying Like da Jews

51:39 It's just lying. It's great though, she pulled boxcars like da Jews! Da Jews! Of course that was the association it was so obvious she is not very good at this Now I have a longer clip then I pull... go ahead I was gonna say the worst part is that you'll get called out and ridiculed for lying like that. Minimal minimal minimal now this is Bill Maher now one of our producers sent me this whole episode And I was, because then always watch it. But I was appalled from beginning to end and I have some clips later on from the same episode. What's an appalling show? Now on this show was a kid. I kid now on the show was reporter from The Washington Post that real a whole knows better than everybody knows everything better than anybody there was Dana Rohrabacher which is a Republican and Wendy Davis

52:32 Who looks pretty smoking hot, I want to add. Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of her hair but their new hairdo which is kind of those where it goes like... It's almost like one of those speed skater helmets where it's little bigger and sticks out in the back? Have you noticed this as kind of a new trend in long blonde hair so you have the curly cues down to the side and then the back is poofed out. You know, it looks like you have tumor at the back your head but it looks good! Not a tumor. A tumor yeah And Bill Maher is going to espouse his opinions about Donald Trump, of course. Bill Maher hates Trump and he will help us out with propagating the new formula which is an agreed-to talking point. But it's so interesting that Europe has a really nasty immigration problem that can be violent We have just friendly people south of our border who want to come here and exploit us by picking our fruit

53:29 and And the racist... Which is racist right there. Oh yeah, totally racist. It's racist! Hey Mexicans all you're good for is for picking our throat. The racism out of the Trump camp is getting really kind of nasty. The racism out of the Trump camp? Let's get some examples. Uh, Get Outta My Country Is what his bodyguard said to Jorge Ramos which I didn't hear did you hear this anyway? No hold on a second I can explain that okay There was a plant another dirty trick of some guy, the Trump group didn't know who this guy was. When they move Ramos out this character comes in with a bunch of badges and buttons on him looks like he's a server at some restaurant and then as soon as the mic is turned or somebody else turns...somebody was filming this and the guys says get out of our country! It was dirty tricks and of course Bill Maher sees it as you know... You know it's different because there are some other things that come up later

54:27 I believe that Bill Maher just has one or two people on staff who he trusts and when they say, oh well you know this is what's going to happen. This is the fact. He presumes... That would be absolutely the way it works. Yeah He presumes that the facts are true and his staff is infallible Trump said go back to Univision. He said the man was very emotional Who gives a crap about that? By the way this Jorge, oh I have it here. Let me see if someone sent me this this was actually quite good Jorge Ramos Univision the CEO of univision through univision I believe donated over 25 million dollars to the Clinton Foundation The CEO of univisions wife sits on the board of directors for the Clinton Foundation and his daughter works for the Clinton campaign

55:18 So, um... conflict of interest much Jorge? These are not that coded code words. Those two guys in Boston last week who kicked the shit out of an immigrant and then said Trump was right Yeah that was hearsay from a source who heard it from a cop who said he heard the guy say it I don't think that's really, you know you're just taking that for fact and it seems a bit sketchy certainly not journalistic but okay your comedy show i get it. He- Donald Trump was in Alabama last week here is what one of his supporters said after the rally he said hopefully if trump selected president will make the border vacation spot its gonna cost you $25 for permit and then you get fifty dollars for every confirmed kill If that was my party

56:04 You know, I'd be a little ashamed. I think you're absolutely right. That was an example of redneck humor Yeah it's humor! It's totally humor Trump is bombastic and he's arrogant, and he's doing this in a very personal way with the especially with Mexicans.

56:41 and Mexican-Americans. Now he's wrong... Well now you do sound like Trump! He is wrong in several of his solutions, but he is right in addressing an issue that people... He's race baiting, he's race baiting, he's race baiting, look at the bump on top my head it so beautiful And he knows that what he's doing Yeah Race Baiter! Was George Wallace a racist? Yeah, okay. This guy is a European style demagogic politician Oh he's a European style demagogic politician What is up with that this was to paint him as well? Well yeah, you don't have to tell me him as a fascist yes here it comes

57:33 playbook, essentially a page out of the George Wallace playbook. I think this guy is a European style demagogic politician in the American context. This is our Berlusconi you know? This is our Berlusconi are you effing kidding me?! You know Trump wishes he could have bunga bunga parties hell yeah! No he doesn't own newspapers it doesn't own television stations No, but Berlusconi? Are they trying to... Was Berlusconi a fascist?! I know. Well it's possible but i think that they dropped the ball on who to point the finger at and they decided that the only recognizable name because of the American public that listens to Burt Marr

58:16 who would not know any of the pins or any of the other people. Totally, you know almost ideology doesn't even matter far left far right it's whatever appeals to the chiefs. If illegal immigration was not an issue that the American people were concerned about on a very personal level they'd never put up with this negative attitude he has got. It doesn't mean that its real The Republican side especially is great at fantasy issues The truth is net immigration from Mexico More facts. It's been zero for the last seven or eight years. That's what your experts can tell you, the bottom line is it's not just Mexico that we're talking about. Then he says most people don't know I own the Bank of America building in San Francisco! I got it from the Chinese, I did great. Good impression. Then he goes to China they've taken our money and our jobs. It's one of the greatest thefts in the history of the world that's the way Hitler used to talk about the Jews. There we go BAM

Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, Iran Deal Protest

Donald Trump and Ted Cruz announced a joint appearance at a Washington D.C. protest against the Obama administration's nuclear deal with Iran. The event is organized by the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), the oldest pro-Israel group in the United States. This partnership is viewed as a strategic move to align both candidates with pro-Israel voters and criticize the lack of prisoner release provisions in the diplomatic agreement.

donald trump· ted cruz· iran deal· zionist organization of america· israel· protest

59:13 BAM! Hitler, Hitler Jews. These people are incredible just incredible now something big did happen and this shows the brilliance of of Donald Trump. This is very important and I think this was glossed over. Before we get off this topic, I do have a Donald Trump prediction It's the same topic. I want your prediction after this important news We are talking to Ted Cruz who is a friend of mine and good guy about doing something big in Washington it will be announced

59:53 And it will, it's essentially a protest against the totally incompetent deal that we're making with Iran. Now you tell me why aren't these negotiators that made this horrible deal with Iran 24 days? They do their own inspections. The whole thing is they get $150 billion and more. Why aren't they releasing our prisoners? Why didn't Kerry say by the way before we begin release our prisons You have a journalist, you have four great people. One of them is there because he's a Christian Why didn't they say release our prisoners? That's right.

1:00:48 This event, so there's an event and Ted Cruz and Donald Trump both will be speaking at it. They're publicly saying we are teaming up together this is unprecedented I think Yeah And I went to look what the event is The event is being organized by... The very people he hates! The Jews Because he's Hitler you see? The Zionist Organization of America is organizing this event where Trump and Cruz will be speaking. It's the oldest pro-Israel organization in the United States, so these guys are smart! The first thing they do together is go out and do the whole Israel dance. You get Israel on your side you're just pretty good here in the United States with an election. Yeah yeah if you can get the Jewish voter to actually vote Republican which is not

Nazi Gold Train Discovery, Walbrzych Poland

Authorities in Walbrzych, Poland, claim to have located a buried Nazi military train using ground-penetrating radar. Local legend suggests the train was hidden in 1945 and contains gold, gems, and weapons stolen by German forces at the end of World War II. Military experts are being deployed to secure the site due to concerns regarding potential booby traps and hazardous materials.

nazi gold train· poland· walbrzych· world war ii· treasure· ground penetrating radar

1:01:45 as easy as it sounds. Regardless, it's a good move and for them to do it together I think is fantastic! Really really smart! Just sticking with the Hitler and the Jews meme for a moment... This is a big discovery and Agent Orange Our military expert will be going to this place on Tuesday and give us a full report of what is found. He's part of the team that works on these types of issues." Local legend has it that a Nazi train filled with gold, gems and guns went missing below this fairy tale setting in 1945 but digging deeper it appears the fable is fact

1:02:27 Authorities say ground penetrating radar photos reveal a World War II German military train lays buried near the southwestern city of Wabashek. Poland. Oh, yeah! And of course we all know the Polish bit they hate the Jews They screwed over all the Jews Which is not true But that's what the meme is Hollywood hates the Polish Jew screw the Polish Jews it's and they stole our gold damnit stupid-ass Jew hating polish room at the train was carrying stolen treasure as the Soviet army closed in

1:03:03 As far as I know, nobody has accessed the train since World War II. The information about its location was given orally by a person who was among those who buried the train That person revealed the secret on their deathbed, along with a sketch of where the train was hidden. Its exact location within these underground tunnels is being kept under wraps and with threats of booby traps treasure hunters are being warned to steer clear. We believe that not only treasures could be stored onboard as the finders claim but we assume that dangerous materials from the war might also be found. Authorities hope the train will also hold looted art and Nazi archives

1:03:43 Work is now underway to unearth and secure the find with the help of military experts. The operation is expected to take weeks. For some reason, Al Capone's safe comes to mind. Yeah we need Geraldo to come in and open that train! What a great idea! Excellent That would be a big hit for Geraldo. That would be a hit! They're digging... Geraldo to open the train From the chat room, Ms. Small Biz, you cannot argue against that Trump is spouting nationalism which is what Hitler did early on which was really just echoes of the Napoleonic War era France invading Germany You know every single presidential candidate speaks nationalistically Yeah That's what you do! That's the whole point President Obama speaks nationalistically all the time So you could say anybody It's shit...You could call me a Hitler

CHAPTER 13 / 31 Discussion

Ted Cruz Evangelical Campaign Style, Religious Rhetoric

Ted Cruz's campaign style is scrutinized for its heavy reliance on evangelical Christian imagery and "pastoral" delivery. During an event advocating for the release of Pastor Saeed Abedini from an Iranian prison, Cruz led the audience in public prayer and used biblical references to frame his political platform. Critics argue that this overt display of religiosity mirrors the style of George W. Bush and may alienate secular voters.

ted cruz· evangelical· christianity· pastor saeed· prayer· presidential campaign

1:04:39 Please don't. You can't, this is lame whoever said that. It's small biz yeah it's totally lame and people are like yeah that's true man that's true. Yeah it's true he's a nationalist who what American guy what American running for president is not going to be nationalists? Exactly And if I'm president, I'm turning the country over to the Russians. It's Snowden! We're gonna open the borders for everybody because we don't... our country sucks. Yeah Give me a break That is really... The country is all where the greatest country oh it was greatest greatest greatest that's all nationalism Well let me give an example here is the President's podcast which will take us Oh you have Trump clips? I want to move on Where do you go there Okay All right Go ahead

1:05:22 First of all, since you brought Cruz into it. I kind of wrote Cruz off after watching him at an event where he... You know, he has this in a... No one's always bothered me. I know his dad was a preacher But Cruz has got the most... I mean, he has the personality of a wet dishrag. He has a preacher's way of presenting. He talks like a minister. Yeah yes! Yes and not only that but he talks like a Texas minister it's a style of speech yeah and demeanor more like uh not a minister but a pastor

1:05:59 A evangelist. Yeah, there you go We don't want another evangelist in the White House because the last one almost broke the country And which one was that? Who actually is a minister doesn't even pull this stunt Wait a minute who was the last minister who broke the country Not a minister, an evangelist Bush Yes, Bush and when you say that I think of Bush He broke the country it cost us trillions of dollars to these stupid wars he put us into we're just in bad financial condition because of this guy So that's... and he's for torture. What kind of a man of God is that? I got three Ted Cruz clips, right on, and death to America would be number one. When Pastor Saeed was first sent to prison He was sent to the Evin Prison, a brutal prison in Iran. Brutal! But it turned out for the Ayatollah that was not good enough And they transferred Pastor Saeed to the even worse Raj Aishar prison

1:07:01 which is where they keep their death row. It is the worst hell hole in the entire Iranian prison system. The day they transferred Pastor Saeed was a day that the Iranian Ayatollah celebrates, it's a holiday in Iran and its called Death to America Day It is the end of this world. Wait a minute, wait a minute! When is this? When is this holiday I want to put that on the calendar it is bullshit when is the best to America day system This is their Iranian Revolution Day. This is their fourth of July and it's called revolution day No, it's called death to America day now death to America day And let me see when he has the death through him where I want to know the date Yeah, I think isn't no I had it done then I was gonna

1:07:44 Hold on, hold on. Here it is. This is from Cruz himself... Why don't they mention the date? Ah! No here it is November 4th Okay But put in on the calendar November 4th Death to America Day we need to celebrate It is the anniversary of Iran's taking American citizens hostages in the 1970s. And the Ayatollah leads chants of death to America while they burn American flags, that was the day they transferred Pastor Saeed. Excellent! Great! Do they have fireworks on this day? Death To America Day? Do they take the day off? I hope so. Apparently, the guys who are prison guards don't get to take that day off because that's when they move people whatever the case he and i said that yeah He goes on and now he's talking to the wife of this poor guy who is locked up one of the four And that's the reason for this event you're talking about because he's all in on this idea So he continues interviewing the woman with his clip too NAME we know That God has it in His power

1:08:46 To free Said from prison. Just as Paul and Silas, an earthquake shattered open the prison. Oh! Nice! And they walked out I lift up my eyes into the hills from whence cometh my help With their captors ready to take his own life in God's power know that today right now Zaid is not alone in that prison. No, God is with him and you and your children are not alone God is with them as your husband is suffering. Yeah Every one of us here is with you we are lifting you up in prayer We are standing with you

1:09:25 So he gets the audience all worked up. Of course! And now they're all standing and he brings everybody out and they do a hand-to-hand grasping. A prayer? There was a prayer that goes on, I only have this little clip of it... This short clip of it, but it goes on. I don't you know? It's like get off the stage. I mean Anyone who's actually a working minister knows that not to bore people stiff like this character But he's getting reading for I'm watching this going this is ridiculous I meant are you running for office or do you just want to get a congregation together

1:10:01 I don't have anything against people doing this to a point, but not when you're running for president of the United States. And we've already had a guy who is just a terrible president and very similar evangelical from Texas just like this guy. This was the end for me. It's a fractal. And i'm not going to sit there and ridicule him for doing this. I'm just saying this... Fractals! It completes it completes the fractal. Completes the fractal. To pray together For these heroes and for our nation, if we would all stand and pray. Father God we come to you today on our knees celebrating your glory, celebrating the courage and faith of these heroes who follow the teachings of The Word who reflect in their countenance the redeeming love of our Savior Jesus Christ

1:11:04 And Father God, we come here today claiming the promises of the scripture. Jesus told us He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind... To set at liberty those who are oppressed. This is God speaking. Stop that shit! So, anyway he goes on and on and I just thought to myself...I do not want a...by the way it's a type of religion where you display your religiosity in public to an extreme. I don't want a preacher as President of the United States under any circumstances!

CHAPTER 14 / 31 Discussion

Donald Trump Third-Party Run, South Carolina Ballot Pledge

Donald Trump faces a deadline to sign a pledge in South Carolina promising to support the eventual Republican nominee in order to appear on the primary ballot. Speculation suggests Trump may refuse to sign the document, potentially setting the stage for a write-in campaign similar to Lisa Murkowski's successful 2010 Senate run in Alaska. Trump has teased an "upcoming surprise" regarding his status with the Republican National Committee.

donald trump· south carolina· republican party· write-in candidate· lisa murkowski· katy tur

1:11:51 No, I'd rather have... If he tries to cover it up. I'd rather have a fascist that's much better! A nationalist-fascist prick So this is the guy Trump is going to be working with He's gonna have to get a clue about this so meanwhile Well wouldn't you great as running mate? Do you think that's in the cards? I would hope not But again, I don't think its gonna get that far I have the two Trump clips that then lead me to my prediction. Okay, good! This is kind of interesting... Good good good One is this uh.. The Trump-Katy upcoming surprise clip when he's talking to this woman who has got the world's worst name She's very pretty she's on I believe she's uh... What's her name? Katy Turr And you just want to say Katy turred Is it T U R ? Yes Huh

1:12:38 Yeah, Kitty Turner. And I think she's with CBS Let me see what she looks like... You know? But i'm a face guy She does not have a pretty face. See if you see it, she is very telegenic then No, I am looking at the television shot on the Today Show Telegenic means in movement Oh okay, she has got a... Well you can take it or leave it, but I don't care! Well I do, I care! I care about my life. Kitty upcoming surprise play I'm a Republican, and I am conservative. But i am just as angry with the Republicans The NFRA doesn't take too kindly to third party runs By coming here... The NFRA? By coming here are you telling them that you wont be doing that Well over the next couple of weeks Katie your going to see some things that are very interesting Is he a Reagan Republican? I think hes a Trump Republican You're gonna see something very interesting

1:13:34 By the way, I made that prediction a couple of weeks ago to myself. And before that clip... That's just confirming and here is you can kind of deconstruct what the predictions going to be by playing Trump in South Carolina If Trump wants to be on the South Carolina primary ballot, he'll have to rule out a third-party run. Something he has so far refused to do The filing form in the Palmetto State requires the candidate to sign a pledge by the end of next month promising to support the Republican nominee Well you think he's gonna go third party? No He is gonna try to pull them because it's been done and if we think of Murkowski in Alaska She's the one who did at last

1:14:15 He is not going to sign this pledge. He is going to run as a write-in candidate." If he can win, and so he's got the money to advertise it... And she won in Alaska as a write-in candidate when the Republicans screwed her. So you mean that Republicans would all defect? To him as a writer? People love a write-in candidate that just know that the person's there It's a form of rebellion! And he's riding the rebellion wave I mean, his whole attraction is that he's a rebel. And by sticking with his principles and saying, I'm not going to sign this thing, I'm not going do what people tell me to do because they want it! I am doing what I want to do! He can make a big scene about it, make a big stink and you'll get lots of publicity and he'll get more write-in votes—and this is something he'd love to be able to do—then Lindsey Graham will get on the ballot. Right?

1:15:13 And he can ride that to just a lot of public, a lot of PR. Okay put this in the book then so this should happen in a few weeks as I'm writing. He has to sign that document right and I'm sure he's yeah it doesn't you know So this is really a good idea, it seems to me. To go in as a write-in candidate in South Carolina and then win...and if he doesn't win, he can blame the write-in part of it." Yeah I did the best I could but you know there's that damn part..." And I want to bring something else up since we're talking about this sort of thing these primaries who pays for these elections? Who pays when you have a primary in California? Who's paying the bill on printing the ballots and doing all that?

CHAPTER 15 / 31 Discussion

Taxpayer Funding of Primary Elections, Political Party Costs

The cost of conducting primary elections, estimated at $10 to $17 per voter, is currently borne by taxpayers rather than the political parties themselves. Critics argue that since primaries are private party functions used to select candidates, the Republican and Democratic parties should fund these events independently. The segment suggests that the current system serves as a "scam" that benefits media organizations through increased advertising revenue at public expense.

primary elections· taxpayers· election costs· political parties· voting· caucuses

1:15:59 Uh, corporations? The taxpayers. Oh! What do you mean the corporation? I'm just guessing... They're free of this. Do you know what it costs on average to do a primary or general election in terms of what it would cost per voter- No To put it on? Mm-mm Between ten and seventeen dollars Dang A person Dang Now, so this is what got to me. The fact that South Carolina Republicans or even the California Republicans who won't let you vote just in an open ballot are bossing around the electoral people that have the money to put these elections on. So in other words, the California taxpayer or this South Carolina taxpayer

1:16:45 is paying for the primaries of the Republicans and the Democrats when it's their little piece a business. It's not the national election that I can see you could, okay, the states can pay for that because it's important. You're actually electing people. You're not electing anybody in these primary. All your doing is just saying okay like this guy or like that guy at the cost, at the expense of the taxpayer They should go, Iowa and some other states say screw this we're not going to spend this kind of money on these stupid things that these parties want. It's their business let them do their own thing they have caucuses and then they have their state convention and the convention like at the national convention

1:17:26 chooses the guy who's gonna run for their state. So that doesn't cost the taxpayers anything, this entire taxpayer thing is an outrageous scam and what galls me about it is that South Carolina makes the candidate jump through hoops while the taxpayers pay picking up the tab for the whole thing these things should be banned or Party should pay for him. The taxpayers should not pay for them the only reason that they've even existed is because during the 50s and 60s There used to be a lot of publicity about all these guys are being chosen in cigar smoke-filled rooms

1:18:04 And I remember that when i was a kid because there was a big complaint about these conventions choosing the candidates and the public should choose. Of course, the only benefit of anybody for the public to choose and they're not even interested in voting in primaries is that the media again gets to pick up a lot of free advertising for their bottom line so let's make these primaries and then stick the taxpayers... The media should be paying for these damn primaries! They're getting all the money out of it The taxpayers are getting screwed. I thought you were over. Well, ten bucks a head is... which is low by the way. Well, tens of millions of dollars go to these primaries that comes right out of the taxpayers' coffers during a depression! This is ridiculous and with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C where the c stands for cruises crap Dvorak

Lance Ulanoff Podcast Article, Ben Hammersley Etymology

A recent article by tech journalist Lance Ulanoff regarding the state of podcasting is criticized for misquoting the hosts and misattributing the origin of the term "podcasting." While Ulanoff credits Ben Hammersley of The Guardian with coining the term, the hosts assert that Danny Gregoire was the actual creator. The segment highlights the perceived disconnect between mainstream tech journalism and the actual history of the medium.

lance ulanoff· podcasting· ben hammersley· veronica belmont· journalism· mashable

1:25:33 You've got karma. Well, I want to thank our executive producer and associate executive producers on today's show. You are the ones along with the other producers who will be thanking later on in a thank you segment. You really make it work for us and I really appreciate that although you weren't credited the way i had intended in Lance... Lance what is his name? Ulanov Is it Lance Ulanoff? What's Lance Ulanoff. Isn't that the reporter guy? Yeah, he wrote an article about podcasting and he called me about it. He did? Yeah! And I laid the whole thing on him about the value for value model and how this was working...and then you were somewhere way at the bottom of the article. I didn't even think it said no agenda show just said Currie and his co-host Dvorak

1:26:22 You know, and the one thing he did put in there is although he didn't quote me correctly as I said you know podcasting has overtaken broadcasting. Just look at all the broadcasters who are now podcasting it's a very simple thing and he didn't even... He said oh Curry thinks broadcasting will take over broadcasting. You know when a journalist already has his mindset on what he's going to write It doesn't matter what you say. Why even bother talking to ya? I'm sorry? Why even bother talking to ya? Because Victoria Belmont got all in his face on Twitter and then he, this is what he told me. He said, you know, I figured it might as well talk to you then... And then he got the whole name of podcasting wrong which is always, he credits that to Ben Hammersley which is not true! I'm sorry, what?! He credits the name podcasting to Ben Hammersley of The Guardian Which is not- yeah

1:27:14 Now, Hammersley did use the word podcasting before podcasting. I will give him that but it was... Oh God and I've forgotten the guy's name It was a guy who was listening to the early shows that he was doing with Dave Weiner Otherwise Veronica Belmont Yeah whatever How did it was with a G? Mmm. Now I feel bad now Verona good no, they know the guy who came up with the name podcasting Yeah, just kidding. Okay anyway all worked up about that article Do you think anyone read it? They've got retweeted a lot. No

1:27:59 I never heard of it. Well, yeah, no you don't thanks for reading my tweets he could have i told him to call you we said now i don't want to talk to Dvorak He said that? Yeah just like that just like that with that voice here i'll do it again nah i don't want to talk to Dvorak he's grumpy but i made that part up but he could have been i know time to break some kneecaps i think Thank you all very much for supporting the program. These credits are real, unlike the phonies in Hollywood We'll vouch for you if you put them on LinkedIn and anybody questions it.

Fact Check of the Day, Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski Death

Former Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski, the highest-ranking Vatican official to be charged with child sexual abuse, was found dead in Vatican City before his trial could begin. While official reports cite natural causes, skeptics suggest the timing of his death is suspicious given the impending tribunal. Wesolowski had already been defrocked and was under house arrest at the time of his passing.

1:29:05 I have a new segment. A new segment? Well, hold on! Hold on! Hold on! Here we go... Ladies and gentlemen time for... ...a new segment Uh the-I don't know how to quite the title yet but it's like it's a variation on Ask Adam and it would be something like Do you think that this story is giving us all of the facts It's called The Fact Check Of The Day Dead Archbishop Story

1:29:42 A former archbishop charged with sexual abuse of children has been found dead before he could stand trial for his alleged crimes. Joseph Wieselowski would have been the highest-ranking Vatican official to come before a tribunal, but he fell ill before the trial's July start date. Already defrocked, he died while under house arrest in Vatican City. Initial findings indicate that his death was from natural causes. I think i have to call Bullshit on it. This is the old poison in the ring way to open up the ring, you know put it into his goblet You know that's what I couldn't but laugh out loud with the whole story that's great Good reporting too Natural causes yeah, you know his heart stopped beating because of the poison from the ring in the goblet hello That's easy Yeah good one good segment.

Barack Obama Alaska Visit, Climate Change Projections

President Barack Obama is scheduled for a three-day tour of Alaska to highlight the immediate impacts of climate change on the region. The President's itinerary includes meetings with residents of the Arctic Circle and discussions regarding shoreline erosion and melting glaciers. The administration warns that Alaskan temperatures could rise by 6 to 12 degrees by the end of the century, threatening coastal villages and local ecosystems.

1:30:41 I watched the president's podcast. Yes, you always do! It was a very long one so i cut it down to about a minute... buck twenty. It was four and a half minutes and as always we start off our nationalistic prayer with Heil everybody! This Monday I'm heading to Alaska for a three-day tour of the state. A three day tour? I've been looking forward to this for a long time. Ah, stop. Sure. Danny Gregoire Thank you very much chat room. Danny Gregoire is the one who came up with the name podcasting Let's make sure that's credited properly. Hi everybody. Kyle! This Monday i'm heading to Alaska For a 3 day tour of the state

1:31:23 I've been looking forward to this for a long time. Not only because Alaska is one of the most beautiful places in a country that's full of beautiful places, but there's also five chicks every guy up there. But because now there's not oh yes there is an anchorage sit-in Alaska and Anchorage. I'd been anchorage it was 5 chicks for every guy now in 1990. I don't believe even in 1990 you will not build a document as non-I was doing a sock hop spinning the tunes? You were the one guy so all the women came out of the woodwork. Everybody else is like big beards and they stink. Well... There goes our Alaskan donors I'll have several opportunities to meet with everyday Alaskans about what's going on in their lives. I'll travel throughout the state, meet with Alaskans who live above the Arctic Circle with Alaska natives- I've been there talk to Yuc Toc in Nuuvik And with folks who earn their livelihoods through fishing and tourism Folks! And I expect to learn a lot Oh!

1:32:21 One thing I've learned so far is that a lot of these conversations begin with climate change. And that's because Alaskans are already living with its effects. Hey, Mr President! Climate change. Is that how it really starts? Hey Mr President! Climate Change More frequent and extensive wildfires Bigger storm surges as sea ice melts faster Some of the swiftest shoreline erosion in the world In some places more than three feet per year Alaska's glaciers are melting faster too, threatening tourism. What? You gotta stop I gotta... you gotta stop i gotta look out the window Here's our climate ch- wait! Waitwaitwaitwait Ladies and gentlemen time for the John C. Dvorak Climate Change Report Okay I'm looking out the window at the mudflats which I've been looking at for the last 20 years and uh they're still there This concludes the John C. Dvorak Climate Change Report

1:33:21 Faster too, threatening tourism and adding to rising seas. And if we do nothing Alaskan temperatures are projected to rise between 6 and 12 degrees by the end of the century Changing all sorts- Did you hear that? The end of the centuries is 85 years from now Like will be around to call bullshit on it Century Wait What was the temperature rise six to twelve? Six twelve degrees Wow.

1:34:02 This is all real. Climate change is real! It's real, it's real, it's real! This is happening to our fellow Americans right now. In fact Alaska's governor recently told me that four villages are in imminent danger and have to be relocated already rising sea levels are beginning to swallow one island community Swallowing? Think about that Think about if another country threatened to wipe out an American town we do everything in our power to protect ourselves Climate change poses the same threat right now. Oh, we should go bomb climate change then and drone that sucker mark the time because you had that sound effect You made was just priceless okay on a 138 I Don't have where's my pen? That was my pen 138 okay

1:34:52 Yeah, swallowing up a whole town and... Gulp gulp gulp. Fantastic! Alright now this brings me to another Burt Mayer clip. Okay? Burt Mayer had Rick Santorum on. And Rick Santorum is running for president Yeah, that's what we were told. Rick Santorum is a Catholic then he's against the whole bunch of things but he had some interesting data and I thought the entire exchange was worth listening to as you see how he comes up with some facts which i believe are very close to how we deconstructed the 97% of all scientists agree meme

CHAPTER 20 / 31 Discussion

Bill Maher and Rick Santorum, Climate Science Debate

During an appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher, Republican candidate Rick Santorum challenged the widely cited statistic that 97% of scientists agree on human-caused climate change. Santorum argued the figure was derived from a small sample size of 77 scientists, while Maher defended the consensus and invoked Pope Francis's support for environmental action. The exchange highlights the ongoing political divide over the interpretation of climate data and the role of religious authority in scientific debates.

bill maher· rick santorum· climate change· 97 percent· ipcc· pope francis

1:35:37 And listen to how Bill Maher parries that. Because I don't think you think climate change is a real problem, and I'm not alone I mean the most recent survey of climate scientists said about 57% don't agree with the idea that 95 percent of change in the climate is being caused by CO2. There was a survey done of 1800 scientists and 57 percent said they don't buy off on the idea that CO2 is the knob turning the climate. There's hundreds of reasons for climate change. Rick, I don't know what ass you're pulling there. I'm not! Ha ha ha he said ass?

1:36:16 I'll send you the survey. Stupid audience, buttfuckers! Sorry Tourette's. Tourette's? Tourettes...I'm sorry. I work on it. Climate science and that is number one. Number two the 97% figure that is thrown around The head of the UN IPC said That number was pulled out of thin air It was based on a survey of 77 scientists Not even 97 scientists responded to that survey So let us talk about facts And the fact is lots of things cause climate change made a very strong statement, very strong statement. Now this is beautiful! That was outstanding It's not done yet wait for it he's gonna continue and we knew what this was about the Pope coming in to get everybody on board with climate change As I've pointed out before again an atheist yes using the Pope yeah as a symbol of some sort of authority

1:37:14 How can you do that if you're an atheist and the Pope is just a big phony? This is exactly what the whole idea was with this pope. When I predicted he would become Pope, I said this was gonna happen! Before the smoke, I predicted the Pope! in support of my position on climate change, not yours. And your position when you heard that was hey let's leave the science to the scientists okay first of all you're not doing that but second of all I am you're not because 97% of all scientists believe it's a bogus number it's so not a bogus and so okay yours is mine as yours is mine see he can't combat it too which is gonna go me you need you said he shed BBB two bogus number

1:37:54 97% of all scientists, ALL! Not just climate scientists. All scientists! Yeah I love the way it morphed into that. That's a funny way you put him in his place Bert Meagher you did But what i want to ask is...I mean.. You're- I'm not a catholic. I'm an atheist. So shut up! I like the pope better than you do and I wouldn't- That's not true! Wait a second You're saying the Pope should stick to what he knows. I find that so ridiculous because this is what i always say, so much of religion is arrogance masquerading as humility He's the vicar of Christ your God shouldn't you have the humility to say well if the pope thinks climate change is a problem maybe I should? He's not just another guy Wait a minute how can Bill Maher say he's an atheist now

1:38:48 If you look at all the things the Pope said, which I hope you do. He put it in a context of trying to reach out to people who may not agree with him on a whole lot of other issues in order to try and open up some doors and open up a conversation which he's obviously done! Al Gore is now saying that he can become a Catholic because this President...I mean because of this Pope. Interesting little flub there at the end. Because of this president..I mean pope. Yeah but what does it mean? Doesn't really matter. I just like the whole Bill Maher, like, bro did you pull that out of your ass? Or someone's ass? I don't know whose ass you pulled it out of! Yeah that's the way it works. That's the way that- Shout them down. Shout them down. Shout him down. Shout him down. That's all very scientific. Shout them DOWN I tell you. But its hard to...you're in that group and going into uh..the bad side of town and everyone hates you so

House Hearing on Aircraft Carbon Emissions

A U.S. House hearing addressed the need to regulate carbon emissions from the aircraft industry, which has historically avoided strict environmental oversight. Proponents of the regulation argue that the U.S. must reduce emissions by 35% to 65% by 2030 to meet climate goals. However, there is significant skepticism regarding whether these policies will gain traction or if the airline industry will successfully lobby against them.

1:39:47 What do you expect to happen? You're gonna get beat up. Yeah, well sure right okay I have a little more here You had what I have a little more. I got tons of stuff today Yeah, you apparently do yeah? I do let's uh I'm gonna tease something out probably be talking about In more depth in the future because they've been doing this This is the kind of thing that nobody really wants to bring to the fore Because it's kind of inconvenient did the inconvenient truth like going after aircrafts to slow climate change Climate change is already upon us

1:40:27 Who is this? This is a House hearing. With unprecedented temperature increases, rising sea levels, extraordinary rates of species extinction and more extreme weather events efforts to quickly and sharply curb and then eliminate carbon pollution are essential if we are to avoid the worst effects of climate change Science tells us that this requires the US to reduce emissions in the range of 35% to 65% by 2030 from 1990 baseline levels. To begin to approach those levels, every significant carbon emission source must reduce its emissions and the aircraft industry has too long evaded every attempt to make it contribute its fair share. Yep! We knew this was happening

1:41:22 Yeah, and there was a big hearing and they had one character after another coming up and condemning the airline industry. And how they have to change this in any other way? This is not going to go anywhere. This is going to maybe be that at some point, the climate change thing's gonna turn around. So I don't know what certain specific categories in the economy It's not gonna fly and this is this. I've never seen such disinterest on the part of the people do including all the pro climate change You know that warmists mm-hmm very interesting to watch What's gonna happen nothing? Hopefully very important question was posed to our future president Donald Trump. I'd love saying that

Broadcast News Terminology, Photographer vs Cameraman

The shift in broadcast news terminology from "cameraman" to "photographer" is analyzed as a move toward gender-neutral language and professional elevation. Industry veterans note that "photographer" is now the standard term in many East Coast markets, often used to distinguish professional news gatherers from amateur smartphone users. The hosts suggest the change is also intended to mirror the prestige of the "Director of Photography" title in the film industry.

1:42:07 And it's, and this was I think it was just a phoner that was no. It said Cuomo the Cuomo kid. The Trump loves the Cuomo kid because their moms love each other or some crap like that. I don't know but they drank tea together. The question of course is about the TV shooters. That two killed there on their live shoot? Yes oh and by we got a lot of notes from... We got a lot of notes and I figured out the photographer thing Okay, let me can I stop and get kind of outlined the notes please in terms of the things that we did wrong Yeah, you have to do the voice. I if I can only do the voice time reading one of the notes okay? but one of the things was we we I think ridiculed the use of the word photographer when Cameraman's all we've ever heard uh-huh and a photographer is used especially on the East Coast I believe also

1:43:02 It's easy just to follow a van around if you want to shoot somebody then they'd speak They figured it because we couldn't figure out what the guy was doing at 6 in the morning You couldn't but yeah, I couldn't and then I didn't realize it was like a morning morning show this morning shows all the bogus live action Okay fine. I'm I wasn't thinking clearly best beside the point And then I think that what was the third one there something else there were that? We did wrong well yes, oriented But but the The main thing was about, well for a lot of people it's like you went over the top! Not everything is a hoax. Everything is false flag. We never said that it wasn't a hoax. In fact I think I was very specific in saying these are just weird things that aren't discussed. We discuss the videos that you've not seen on television and the first person shooter thing. Just discussing doesn't mean we're trying to make it into a hoax

1:43:52 Not at all. We're just showing anomalies in human behavior It was newbies one guy in particular that have never listened to the show this one guy writes and he says I'm never gonna listen to this show again! Crap Show you're over the top, you're all wrong You bad Yeah, let me start with the theory. The show is to discuss these things and there's a bunch of anomalies I think they should be brought out now Let's start with the photographer meme So I received a number of similar notes saying I've been in broadcast news for 15 years And we've always used photographer for cameraman It said gender-neutral and they said ah I have not been in broadcast news for 15 years which is when this crap started

1:44:33 because it's gender neutral. But there is something else to it This was around the time when the technology revolution really started to take off and had to gain some steam because as a cameraman you are just one step above a dude with an iPhone and selfie stick So, when we think of the film industry director of photography Ah yes that! We want to sound little more important so if I say I'm photographer It's a little more hoity-toity than just cameraman, which as we know is just the dude with a selfie stick. That's what this is about. And the cameramen out there? Adam at curry dot com Yeah bring it on So we need to ask future president Donald Trump about the shooting and what his view on this and he takes a view that is now the new talking point

CHAPTER 23 / 31 Discussion

Roanoke TV Shooting, Gun Control and Mental Health

The fatal shooting of journalists Alison Parker and Adam Ward during a live broadcast in Roanoke, Virginia, has reignited the national debate over gun control and mental health. Andy Parker, Alison's father, has become a public advocate for "sensible" gun laws, while Donald Trump and other Republicans have framed the incident as a "mental health problem" rather than a firearm issue. The segment examines the media's role in shaping the narrative and the behavior of the victims' associates in the aftermath.

1:45:29 And if I didn't know any better, if I knew this was a hoax or crisis actors or whatever anyone wants. I would say it was set up by Trump or the Republican Party or anybody to move the gun conversation towards mental health what we call The War on Crazy. This is really sick person this isn't a gun problem this is a mental problem and you know you have cases where like had the veterans that the guys who were shot recently uh... had a if they've had weapons state might have been able to save themselves it would have been able to help heroes there are tremendous military men and i had absolutely no defense and frankly uh... you know a case like this he snuck up on whether or was a gun or knife for whatever would have been it would have been something but you know you're not going to get rid of all guns so i'd know what's saying is you tried to do with the bad guys would happen

1:46:20 to use an expression and the good folks would abide by the law, they'd be hopeless. And just it would be a hopeless situation for them. I think it's a big mistake and you know I'm very much second amendment person Chris. And I know the arguments both ways very well but I am very much into the second amendment. You need protection. And this is the entire talking point and here he comes, Andy Parker. This is the father of Alison Parker, the professional actor, Broadway actor and now he's outstumping everywhere bringing the same message. Her life was cut short she had

1:47:07 She had so much potential and it's senseless that her life and Adams' life were taken by a crazy person with a gun. And, you know I if i have to be the John Walsh of gun control and look I'm for the second amendment. You know this is what Trump was saying but then to add that if I had to be the John Walsh of gun control this is a guy who's kid Adam No coincidence, I think. All these memes come popping back His son Adam was abducted and they found him dead and he's made an entire career out of this. I'm not saying it's bad but this guy seems to want a career! But there has to be a way...to force politicians that are

1:47:54 cowards and in the pockets of the NRA to come to grips and make sense, have sensible laws so that crazy people can't get guns. It can't be that hard. And yet politicians from the local level to the state level to the national level they sidestepped the issue they kicked the can down the road This can't happen anymore. And I know that the NRA, their position is going to be...I can hear it now they're gonna say oh gee well if they were carrying this never would have happened. I got news for you if Allison or Adam... You notice this little flub he says he wants to say Chris which is the boyfriend He says Chris, Chris, Chris, Adam Why?

1:48:41 Is that so hard to remember who's dead and who is the boyfriend? And I know that the NRA, their position is going to be...I can hear it now. They're gonna say oh gee well if they were carrying this never would have happened. I got news for you, If Allison or Adam had been carrying an AK-47 strapped around their waist It wouldn't have made any difference They couldn't of seen this thing coming so you know i don't want to hear that argument from the nra and you know that's going to happen and i'm gonna take it on i got a call from from governor mccall of yesterday and i told him exactly what my plan was if i have to be a crusader on this i'm not gonna rest until

1:49:21 I see this something happen and he said, Andy you go for it. I'm right there with ya. We've got to have our legislators and our congressmen step up to the plate and stop being cowards about this." tough issues and I'm for the second amendment. And, I don't think that you should take away more guns that doesn't seem to be the answer." Notice that Chris Cuomo is the one sticking these two together because he's on set- He's on the scene in Roanoke. First he has president elect in future Trump and then uh... he comes out with oh just let's talk to this guy. "...mental illness is tough and we should do more those things sound great to people we hear from politicians all

1:50:06 all the time and yet nothing changes because the two sides are very rooted. The law is what it is, and change is hard. What do you say to those issues? Of course! And I'm not saying let's take away guns. I am just saying let's make it harder for people with mental issues or people like this guy that killed Allison and Adam you know, to make it difficult for them to purchase guns. There's got to be a mechanism that gets put in place for that and I don't think that's unreasonable to do but steps of how many new towns are we going to have? How many Sandy Hooks? How many people...how many Allison's are going to...you know...is This really sounds like a grieving dad to me doesn't it

1:50:56 It doesn't sound like one at all. This is going to happen too before we stop it and it, and it is you know I'm challenging you the media because again this is one of your own And You know that I know how the business works I yeah This is gonna visit a great story for a couple days And then it goes through the back burner and nothing happens But I can promise you and I can promise the American people I am not going to rest until I see something get done here Okay You know, by the way we do... I do want to kind of preface this entire story with gun violence has been steadily declining for the last 10 years. Ah well thank you very much now we have the APHA The American Public Health Association

CHAPTER 24 / 31 Discussion

Gun Violence as Public Health Issue, ShootingTracker.com

The American Public Health Association (APHA) is promoting a campaign to treat gun violence as a public health issue, similar to automobile safety or smoking. The organization utilizes data from ShootingTracker.com, a crowdsourced wiki, to claim that mass shootings occur nearly every day in the United States. Critics point out that the site's definition of "mass shooting" differs from official FBI statistics, leading to potentially misleading public health data.

gun violence· public health· shootingtracker· mass shootings· huffington post· wikis

1:51:43 And I pulled their 990, you know this is the non-profit organization. They do about 16 million dollars in revenue just magically appearing out of thin air. They are a lobbying group the CEO receives 331 thousand dollars a year in salary which is fine you know it's fine for a nonprofit... You're a do-gooder! for $331,000 a year and they have some interesting comparisons. But for many, this is a first. Thinking about gun violence the same way we think about car accidents or smoking as a public health issue. Georges Benjamin is the executive director of the American Public Health Association. Seat belts airbags and all those things that didn't have before have dramatically reduced number of automobile crashes and human toll from that

1:52:36 We can do the same thing with firearms. The website shootingtracker.com estimates once a day in this country four or more people have been shot in a mass shooting so far this year Benjamin says of public health campaign that focuses on securing guns in the home increased firearm safety training and more screening of mentally ill less on gun control politics and more on prevention Yes, you got to back it up Okay. You may have said something about so many people out of shots on mass shooting... Thank you, you picked it up! Very good What they're calling through their- Now you have to go this thing uh was it shooter tracker? Hold on a second Shooter tracker Mass shooting tracker, you gotta check this out because the statistic that the APHA just used comes from Go to ShootingTrackr.com

1:53:27 This is a wiki page. It's a freaking wiki, a freaking freaky wiki! And you hate wikis? Yeah I do Welcome to the world's only crowd-sourced mass shooting tracker as featured on The Huffington Post by United Press International The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Oh I can see what i did wrong never mind... The Young Turks all of the all in bull crap shows totally biased with W Kamau Bell Gawker and more The tracker is proudly crowdsourced using the power of our subscribers at Guns Are Cool. The most obscene incidents of gun violence do not make mainstream news at all, why? Because their definition is incorrect! The mainstream news meaning of mass shooting should be more accurately described as mass murder Anyway they come up with Every day for every day there are four people

1:54:16 Shot in a but that is the definition of a mass shooting But somehow this statistic comes from a wiki page where people could crowdsource like oh yeah four people got shot over here And this is then subsequently used by Burt Maher. I can't believe the amount of bad information that just gets spewed to the general public like this as fact. Crowdsourcing on a wiki, there you go. Now I'll wrap up my segment with the boyfriend Chris Hurst

CHAPTER 25 / 31 Discussion

Vester Flanagan Shooting Motives, Media Anomalies

Anomalies in the Roanoke shooting coverage are explored, including the behavior of Alison Parker's boyfriend, Chris Hurst, and the technical setup of the live broadcast. The discussion applies "Occam's Razor" to suggest the shooting may have been motivated by a personal dispute or "gay lover spat" involving the shooter, Vester Flanagan, rather than the racial or homophobic motives reported in the media. Questions are also raised regarding the lack of visible wireless transmitters on the camera during the live shot.

1:55:12 This guy, you have to- he... this guy is the crazy. I'm sorry um..I've dealt with crazy. I look in his eyes the guy is crazy He's very very weird and he comes on with Chris Croma and Chris was like Oh man are you gonna be okay? And still holding onto a scrapbook where he tracks the monthiversaries Which I got a lot of feedback on that Monthiversaries?! Who keeps track of the monthiversaries What kind of feedback did you get? That's the feedback. Be like, that's bullcrap! Monthiversary?! No... And so he was holding on to his scrapbook I sure don't remember anything about it And I'm really sorry if this is all true and their secret love really was true and they secretly were gonna move in or whatever-I'm sorry but i just have to point out the crazy in the room You have to deal with the fact that you can't remember her The way she was taken

1:56:07 I know what happened on TV. I know the images are out there and And I haven't until I was here today had not seen any images from From his video and had not seen actual video of our air check of what happened The interesting he says that air-check so he he went to the tape ops Then said hey, can I see the air check instead of? I don't know YouTube Okay, you've hadn't seen the air check good. I'd rather see the Eric checked in YouTube and I can understand fully that he has tried to create a narrative

1:56:51 That is one that I hope everybody quickly, quickly forgets. Now this is interesting... Quickly, quickly forget? Please quickly, quickly forget that this guy was the shooter said that he and or Allison or one of the other had used racial slurs against him and maybe even homophobic slurs And have a theory about that. Please quickly, quickly forget that I mean, this is... Dr. Stanley P. Jackson I thought that was referring to when he said that quickly-quickly. I thought he was referring to the other things a guy had promoted which was to start a race war? Dr. Justin Marchegiani No, there were accusations specifically against Allison and him, I believe, that were racial and this guy's here saying quickly-quickly forget that! This isn't– Dr. Stanley P. Jackson That's right. I think it was saying quickly-quickly forget the idea of starting a race war.

1:57:45 Uh, that is one that I hope everybody could- Hold on let me go back a little further. Create a narrative... uh, that is one that- No, I'll go back a little further? I don't think he says that! I think that's what he is referring to. Because i don't even know what you're talking about when you talk about the other stuff The guy was kicked out of the station No, I know that but there was... But the narrative I think that he was trying to start seems to me to be his reason for it That would be the narrative, yeah Okay well we can disagree Create a narrative That is one that I hope everybody quickly, quickly forgets because the manner in which he took Allison and Adam's life should not be the focus of this story. The focus of this story should be two amazing lights that were extinguished yesterday for no good reason and-and...I now join so many thousands of other Americans who cannot explain why

1:58:47 Their loved ones were taken from them. And when you ask me how I'm doing, I can't explain why either." If you asked me how I am doing and I can't explain why either does he mean that he cannot explain why he is not devastated and breaking down on the camera? Is that what he cannot explain? Well, that's what it would seem now just for the chat room But I am not saying that this is a hoax or a false flag so shut the f up already We're just pointing things out How could you think that a woman who was killed can't have a father who's an actor? I didn't say that, you douche knuckles. But i will make the following prediction... This right here, well I would have said at least we should retort it would be Well don't you think at some point in this entire kind of presentation of what happened and the news reporting that somebody some would mention maybe that he was an actor? No no no For 15 years a Broadway veteran Broadway actor?

1:59:47 No, no they don't do that. Only we do this. It's never mentioned! Now here I'm going to tell you what I think happened Oh and by the way one other thing an annoyance to me when you're doing a live shot it was live on TV why did the camera man...the photographers camera not have a wire attached to it to the news van? But I didn't see a transmitter on the back of it I could be wrong. It's hard to see, but I did not see a wire or transmitter. Typically these things are wired because of the location shoot. Where are the news van guys?

2:00:25 Someone with this was a remote so where's the wire okay? I'm not gonna dwell on it. See this seems to me that Okay, that way you're just pointed out There would be a news van if it was live because they got to get through the satellite and shoot it up right yeah of course Microwave microwave not a satellite well. I've seen the ones where they shoot it up Well, beside the point. There should be a van for that if it was live like everybody's going on and on about that means they went out in the van I need to go out into Van because everyone kept excoriating us saying all you have to do is lay and wait and then follow the van well people say It's a wireless transmitter. I know what they look like on cameras I did not see following the van If there was no vandalist those two are the ones driving the van hmm

2:01:13 That's possible. The cameraman is driving the van, she is in the seat next to him. But still I did not see an antenna for a transmitter or I did not see a wire but I may have seen it well that doesn't matter. I'm going to tell you what happened here. Okay Chris, the boyfriend was a gay lover spat with the shooter and for whatever reason he was pissed off maybe the guys buy flipped then he goes off with this girl This was a gay lovers spat between these two of these kids Chris is not telling the truth That's what happened. Well, that's a simple explanation and is it plausible? Occam's razor my friend simplest thing listen to this guy he sounds gay He looks gay does something you look shady and shifty now You know he's not telling the truth you can tell

2:02:04 And then when he says things like, well why I'm...why my reaction is this way? Like, I don't know. Yeah you do! Yes you do! You might as well just say it end it so we can end all the hoax talk and all the crisis actors just say this was a lover spat between you and the other guy That, truly that seems the easiest most plausible explanation. I'll tell you this let me say this to everyone listening to this thing because Adam promised that he was going to come up with something that's a little different You will never hear anything like this on any other podcast or broadcast probably sometimes for good reason but i think

2:02:45 Again, I comes razor you're dead on on that the only thing we're doing wrong and I agree with you this guy is seem shady But what we're telling us what we're doing wrong is. We're not using the right pronouns so Z and Z were in a lover loving relationship and then Z He flipped to G And then he and she were all pissed off at each other than he shot him up That's how it works does happen. That's that does happen that does happen I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that! Oh yeah, that'd be fab! On No Agenda morning! Alright we have a few people to thank for Show 752

CHAPTER 27 / 31 Discussion

European Migrant Crisis, Syrian Refugee Exodus

A humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Europe as hundreds of thousands of refugees from Syria and Libya attempt to enter the EU. The discovery of 71 dead migrants in a refrigerator truck in Austria has intensified calls for a unified European response. While politicians like Federica Mogherini and Martin Schulz debate quotas and border security, the segment argues that the crisis is a direct result of Western "rubbleizing" of the Middle East.

2:16:46 You have a bit, you got a package. I got a bit yeah, I've got a package. Z has a package for you! Yeah...I was looking at and we've been discussing this for awhile the migrant situation in Europe. Good, I have a clip too. Okay well should i just do my whole thing and then you'll see if it's worth it? Yes okay Now, the main problem with what is happening in Europe is mainly from Syria and Libya people are getting in rusty-ass boats. dinghies, rubber inner tubes whatever they can do. They're floating over many of them are dying and they're entering the Mediterranean they enter Europe through the Mediterranean coming in through Italy to Greece going through Hungary all want to get to Germany or the United Kingdom and we had quite a travesty take place in Vienna

2:17:41 And this was, and I'll just tell you that all these bits I'm playing are all about Syrians mainly. Yeah These are Syrians who are... Okay, I've noticed the same trend and Austria seems to be a player. Austria is a player and there's a big reason for it! A grisly discovery on the side of an Austrian highway Thursday. A refrigerator truck with up to 50 dead migrants, the cause of death unknown. Austrian police now searching for the driver a difficult task as the truck appears to have been abandoned for at least 12 hours. The truck is being examined under refrigeration facility where the loading bay will be opened up and then we can establish how many bodies are inside

2:18:24 This is work that will last until tomorrow morning. The truck came from Hungary, where camps like this contain thousands of migrants streaming into the European Union – the tragedy proving that once in Europe migrants aren't out of danger. Their desperation leads them to take risky routes paying dangerous smugglers who've shown complete disregard for human life. EU and Western Balkan leaders are meeting in Vienna to discuss the migrant crisis The EU pledged 1.5 million euros to help Macedonia and Serbia, who are pressing the EU to come up with a plan to prevent migrants from illegally entering their countries neither side able to agree exactly how to move forward There is no magic solution there is

2:19:11 magic event that can solve issues from one day to the other. This is Federica Mogherini, she is Italian she's the high priestess of... or the High Representative I should say.. The high priestess of foreign affairs for the European Union She's from the Matteo Renzi government and she replaced No-Chin Monster Okay The other high priestess so then she's a very interesting person a magic event that can solve issues from one day to the other, but the road

2:19:47 we can follow to start making things work is very well known. But while European leaders debate how best to deal with the crisis, the migrants continue to risk their lives in the hundreds of thousands. Okay a couple things so we have this truck which comes from Hungary and then shows up with seven I think it's 72 dead migrants note the word migrant not refugees these are refugees and i have i really need to point this out We came, he saw he died for Libya. The total destruction though of Syria this is more about Syrian refugees This was started by the coalition United States, United Kingdom, France and French And now the French and Brits are saying we don't want no migrants No these are refugees By the way where's Angelina Jolie in all this?

2:20:41 Where is she for these refugees? No, no. Because they're not refugees they're migrants and by coincidence this truck shows up on the side of the road... What you may have we've been talking about this for a while now it's not don't blow it! Don't blow it please don't blow it oh okay don't blow it please because I got more clips to go through to get to it but you're on the right track yeah okay so then we have this meeting in Vienna which is Austria where the truck has frowned at same time Oh what are we gonna do about the migrants So they're solidifying this as a migrant issue, not as a humanitarian disaster of epic proportion. Started by the coalition who desperately want Assad out. We've been trying to find ways to get him out

2:21:27 And then we have Martin Schulz, the commie in the EU. The head of the European Parliament has launched a scathing attack on some European countries he accuses are failing to take in refugees It came as nearly 700 migrants and refugees arrived in Sicily after being rescued from boats in the Mediterranean along with the bodies of two who died Martin Schulz says amid the European blame game, the MED is being turned into a mass grave while gruesome scenes are being played out at borders. In the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia hundreds again boarded trains aiming for northern destinations. You have to listen to this guy talking it's just one of many and you'll hear more in the second clip here

2:22:09 These people coming from Syria, they're not like some sand bunny morons. These are well-educated people They speak better English than many citizens of the United States of Gitmo Nation or of Gitmo nation east in the UK They are well educated they're smart they are in danger of being killed by drones and all kind... ISIS all a coalition created crap And, you know please how much Arabic do you speak? No zero. These people speak English. It's the nations. Maybe in Norway maybe Germany maybe Indonesia we don't know. They are from Syria came for problem they have a lot of problems and I'm from Dirik it is near city

2:22:53 We have a lot of problem. You know what happened in Syria? Some three and half thousand take the train every day Three people have been arrested in Libya suspected of helping launch a boat packed with migrants Now pay attention to this because what is the problem The problem isn't that we've completely rubbleized Syria The problem is you have these horrible gangs. Yes, these gangs who are human trafficking... These are the A-holes! ...sank killing up to 200 people. The EU's border control agency Frontex has held a rescue drill off the Libyan coast. We have seen children 10 years old travelling alone. No parents. No father or mother just alone. That's tough to see.

2:23:37 The head of the European Parliament says the failure to agree on binding quotas for the distribution of refugees is not the EU's fault, but that of governments he says are blocking a solution. Okay so what is clear is that the European Union was completely unprepared for what was happening you'll get some numbers in a moment how many refugees are showing up in the EU completely unprepared. They have no border, there's no European army just yet. There is no way to police all of this they're being taken by surprise they don't want all these people flooding into their cities they want to stop but they have their hands in the air and

Refugee Reception in Germany and Italy, Political Fallout

Germany expects to receive 800,000 asylum applications this year, representing 1% of its population, as it opens its borders to Syrian refugees. Meanwhile, Italy continues to take the brunt of Mediterranean arrivals, leading to tension within the EU over migrant distribution. In the UK, Home Secretary Theresa May has resisted quotas, focusing instead on security measures at the Calais border to disrupt human trafficking gangs.

germany· italy· asylum· matteo renzi· theresa may· calais· refugees

2:24:16 And the Prime Minister of Italy, Matteo Renzi is pissed off because they have been taking the brunt of it there in Lampedusa. This is Milan Central Station in Northern Italy which at this time of year and early summer is normally crammed with backpackers and tourists exploring around Europe. This year though, it's a rather different situation. There are lots of migrants here from Somalia, Eritrea Syria and other places all of whom have come off people smuggling boats that had been going across the Mediterranean In the last six months alone, around 50.000 migrants have arrived in Italy from people smuggling boats on the Mediterranean While most of the ones here say they want to head to Germany or Scandinavia some may try to head towards Calais and then get on a lorry...on a ferry towards England

2:25:02 I left Iraq because the situation there... Now listen to this guy. He's from Iraq and he went through Syria, and this is a again, Iraq you know Iraq they had some of the best doctors scientists professors academics very very intelligent people This guy speaks fluent English and listened to the crap that he went through as a refugee not a migrant a refugee It's it's just it's appalling The situation in Iraq especially in Baghdad The situation gets worse and worse. The first boat we went in, they put us in the fridge. The fridge is take like 10 people but there was 25 people there. A single guy with a family on top. It smelled bad. It smelled like fish and most of them were dead.

2:25:53 The people throw up on each other. It was dark, nobody can see you just feel like the guy he throw up on you You know? This was bad situation it's like hell there okay so we need help We really need the European people to help us So they're in a freezer with dead fish it's dark and people are puking on each other Just throwing up all over. You can't see, oh what's that? That was my neighbor just puked on my face Yeah Angelina Jolie you turd! This is the- Now this is Germany now we know Germany Is friends with the Russians Friends with Iran Friends with Syria They really are How many people do you think are showing up in Berlin John

2:26:41 I don't know, tell me. This is the main reception center in Berlin where people come to seek asylum and register with the authorities here so you can see some families the queue stretching right back in that direction and then if you come around here you'll get a sense of how many people are coming to this reception center. The queue snakes around here these are new applicants the authorities say there's about three or four hundred people arriving as new applicants every day. They haven't got the staff they say to cope at the moment, more people over in that direction at front of the queue than actually try and start the process of asylum but Germany is receiving they think 800 thousand people applying for asylum in this year alone that's 1% of Germany's population mainly people here from the Middle East a lot of people from Syria because Germany has now said

2:27:32 All Syrians can now apply and get asylum in Germany, but a lot of people from North Africa as well. Well, Germany is taking more migrants than any other country in the EU this year. A lot of families and women here too. There has been an increase in the number of attacks on migrants in Germany as a whole but still a relatively isolated small number of incidents. And generally speaking, the effort that you can see all around here helping the migrants has been replicated across Germany. So we're over 800,000 people expected in Germany alone now they did this quota and the UK's quota was 3300 30,000 migrants that refugees but migrants would be their quota as part of the EU Theresa May the foreign secretary says uh-uh not gonna do that they're talking about an extra 63 just for this year alone ah

2:28:26 We don't want any of that. We've got to get these a-holes out of the way, even though the UK is directly responsible for the rebellization of Syria which is bringing these people in puking freezers to the shores of the EU." The Home Secretary was in Calais to agree more security measures with the French. Now this is the channel where it is so out of control. I don't have, there's nothing worth playing as a clip but when you look around there are thousands of people and the minute truck come by they're jumping on to jump in they're doing anything they can get through the channel to get to the UK The cops are spraying pepper spray They're trying to beat him with batons

2:29:03 It's out of control. More policing, more British funding CCTV fencing and infrared detection equipment and a new joint force to tackle organized people smugglers Joint Force? We must relentlessly pursue and disrupt the callous criminal gangs that facilitate and profit from the smuggling of vulnerable people often with total disregard for their lives Okay so let's review then I'll turn it over to you Mr Dvorak We have Federica Mogherini who says, we all know if we follow the road back. We all know what the problem is. We have Theresa May and all these politicians are doing it who are chicken shit! They sit there and they've had the gall to say that this is because of human traffickers smugglers who were doing these horrible things for these people? No, that's not the end of this ball of yarn my friends. The end of the ball

2:29:59 ball of yarn is us rubalizing Syria. And you can count on it in the next week we will be using this, this humanitarian crisis which I think was set up purposely and certainly the United States has something to do with it I really believe that. We're the ones that have all the boots on the ground there with ISIS and we're funding these guys, give me DAISGOs, everybody weapons and money and whatever you need...we are going to use this to stop this humanitarian crisis! We will have to take out Assad." That is what's going on here and it's a brilliant scheme because If you really like, we can't keep the Mexicans out from the border. You can't stop this type of migration. So you see this as plan C? Absolutely!

2:30:46 Yeah, yeah. I don't...I'm not gonna argue with the theory. And Bunky Moon is a good one if you think about it because they have been working on this and working this and working this and now they're...now okay, they created a ridiculous humanitarian crisis, redefined words so that we don't have to worry about people, the refugee oriented do-gooders, and Jolene. And Jolene, right? We don't want anyone like that coming along! Uh uh uh! We want warmongers! Warmongers we want! Yeah so we'll keep...we're changing to immigrant. Yep So there's no refugees. There's none No it's not a refugee is a migrant they just want oh they wanna come into our country illegally

2:31:29 Yeah, and the meme is already there because we've already set up the meme here in the United States. Exactly! With the illegal immigrant in it... No you can't call him that And its a beautiful setup and I truly believe were behind it And maybe the UK as well, but we're behind it. No union, no country, no continent is prepared to stop this! You can't just... What are you gonna do? Well they're going to build fences and walls. Gee where have I heard that before?! No one calling out Theresa May as a fascist nationalist A-hole which she is!! I'm so sick of these people!!!

CHAPTER 29 / 31 Discussion

Richard Engel's "Exodus" Report, Trail of Tears Meme

NBC's Richard Engel reported on the "mass exodus" of Syrian refugees traveling through Serbia toward the Hungarian border. The report utilized the "Trail of Tears" metaphor to describe the plight of teenagers like 16-year-old Abdelrahman, who is seeking asylum in Germany. The segment suggests this dramatic media framing is intended to build public support for military intervention against the Assad regime in Syria.

richard engel· nbc news· exodus· trail of tears· serbia· hungary· refugees

2:32:05 They create this and they don't have the guts to say, well you know we're rubbleizing the place so we gotta take care of these people. Oh I'm sorry we didn't think about that! We only thought about the strategic play for pipelines and oil and hookers and other stuff. We didn't think about the people...and we don't care about them. You're heartless A-holes. Heartless! That's pretty obvious Okay, well so I watching this too and then Richard Engel our buddy from NBC liar Who does a lot of misreporting and probably makes up stories? And he has just hasn't been completely busted by it liar. He's award-winning liar

2:32:43 But so he's got his report on the Exodus and he concentrated on one... Oh, nice John. Exodus thank you good word. Exodus! It's an exodus a true biblical exodus Yeah So he's reporting out from the perspective of one kid that he isolated going into Austria And there was a lot of other Austrian stuff and I was very impressed with the reporting around what the Austrians are doing because apparently this heartless a-hole asshole kind of attitude toward these guys on the parts of the government is one thing but the public in Austria for example they showed some some woman with her friends and they formed an ad hoc group to just collect all their clothes that they have in the closets of all their friends in the neighborhood. Because you get... I don't care who you are, if you're just a normal middle-class person, you have clothes in your closet that never... And these people have puke on their clothes?

2:33:37 Dried up, caked up orange chunky puke. Putting them in the station wagons or putting the clothes and they're finding these people wandering around and they're just getting dressed, dressing him. And then with women who are reporting on this say we were so disgusted with the way these people are being treated but the Austrians apparently have been very nice to specifically the Syrians according to the Syrians. But so here we have Richard Engel and this is pretty much he dramatizes everything, and this is what everything you were talking about only as put in a package and it's presented to the American public to try to get some understanding even though there was really none to be had. Unfolding on the borders of Europe thousands of migrants and refugees desperately trying to escape war and poverty in search of a better life our chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel is on the Hungary-Serbia border tonight where thousands of refugees tried across daily

2:34:29 Syrian refugees are on the march across Europe. We join them today in Serbia, where we met Abdelrahman, 16 years old like most here he's heading north to seek asylum. Abdelrahman has been traveling for two weeks already through five countries the next stop is Hungary then he and everyone else here will be in the European Union and they hope safe I'm optimistic. I hope to get there and no one will stop us, he says just one more country to go. The biggest migration of refugees since World War II is underway a new trail of tears from the war zones in the Middle East. Whoa hold on a second big meme

2:35:17 Trail of tears yeah, I know this guy's the best at this. What was that from again the trail of tears? That's some other yeah It's shitty it's a shitty thing yeah bad scene The Cherokee trail of tears resulted from the enforcement of the Treaty of New Eshoda an agreement sign This is the Indians and Native Americans Yeah, I'm sorry well Trail of Tears Wow nice one angle war zones in the Middle East to Western Europe if they can make it For Abdelrahman, the day began across from a park in Belgrade packed with fellow Syrians. Then one bus after another battling other Syrians to get on. Determined, Abdelrahman always managed to find a seat. It's a huge responsibility and my family's only hope he says notice that angle does not get the English speakers

2:36:15 Just as no angle. Yeah, he generally doesn't because he speaks very easy polyglot He has a number of oh that's very high command. That's right. He's got these these jobs. He's he's a polyglot So we have to address him as Z His home in Aleppo was destroyed in the war. He hasn't been to school for four years and plans to settle in Germany, and then bring his family. But he's spent nearly all their savings already and doesn't have much left. I walked 30 miles or more one day so that I wouldn't have to pay $30 for a taxi. But he says he has to make it.

2:36:53 One of thousands of teenagers and children traveling in difficult conditions for an uncertain future. This is a mass exodus, leaderless and spontaneous as Syrians appear to have decided collectively there's no hope back home and to hit the road Richard Engel NBC News along the Serbian border Closer to home tonight Erika has weakened into a tropical low pressure Well, that was actually a very nice compliment to my package as this is the programming meant for the citizens of the United States of Gitmo Nation. We're all going to collectively agree with the idea that Assad must be taken out to stop this humanitarian crisis

CHAPTER 30 / 31 Discussion

Guatemala Corruption Uprising, President Perez Molina

Guatemala is facing a massive political uprising and general strike calling for the resignation of President Otto Pérez Molina over a $100 million corruption scandal. Critics on Democracy Now! argue that the unrest is rooted in the military's history of genocide against the Mayan population during the 1980s, which was allegedly supported by the CIA. The segment notes a lack of mainstream media coverage and context regarding the role of the Guatemalan oligarchy.

guatemala· perez molina· corruption· cia· genocide· oligarchy· democracy now

2:37:38 I like the theory, we'll see how it plays out. They've got to do something! This is going to have to stop. It's going to happen this week...this coming week. I'm from the future I thought Hillary was... Oh, by the way. I'm supposed to give you a bad time now since the deadline's over! Yeah yeah you can mock me. Hillary did not quit Not yet No, I was listening to this another report This is kind of a long clip but it kinda fits in a little bit because this is not covered by anybody And it still brings up a lot of questions on my mind, but while everybody's covering what you just packaged up and some of the other normal things. Democracy now, of course has their agenda which tends to be toward left-wing politics. And so there is the Guatemala report which nobody...none of the big three and the three national... Three by three? Three by three! Nothing about this...

2:38:37 Whatsoever. Well, it's an uprising and it could lead to the fall of Perez Molina. They're calling for a general strike mass demonstration today. Regime change? The issue is corruption But if the movement develops further, if it spreads more fully to the Mayan heartland of the country, then the issue could move from corruption to justice. Because—the reason the Guatemalan elite like President—General Pérez Molina and Vice President Baldetti

2:39:30 have been able to loot the treasury to the tune of more than $100 million, have been able to steal for themselves cash which was used for Jaguar cars, plantations, villas, yachts— Uh-huh. —airplanes, helicopters— Woo! —was because they took and had maintained themselves in power through mass murder? Pérez Molina was a commander in the Northwest Highlands during the 80s. He personally helped implement the Ríos Montt program of mass murder, effectively genocide against the Mayan population. And that's what the Guatemalan system has been built on. So if this uprising spreads—if it becomes an even broader, deeper movement and you move from the question of corruption to the question of justice for mass murder—I

2:40:19 That can only be resolved by implicating not just Pérez Molina personally, but also the Guatemalan Army as a whole institution. Also the U.S. government which is armed trained and financed that army, back that program of slaughter which the American CIA had Perez Molina on the payroll when he was head of HEDOS, the intelligence unit. And it also can't be resolved without implicating CACIF, The Association of the Oligarchy which backed the army during the slaughter and which individually ran its own death squads—the oligarchs,

2:40:58 would go through what was kind of a ritual of bloodying their own hands. And if there was a union organizing drive at their father's factory, some of the boys would get together and they'd go out and kill the Unionists. Those young men who did that in the 80s are now in their 50s and 60s And they're the leaders of the Guatemalan oligarchy. So, the last thing they want to see is a true investigation and bringing to justice or perpetrators—that's the last thing Washington wants to see. And this situation is basically out of control right now. Okay, well this isn't getting reported. Why bother? Crazy now there's a couple things this guy went on forever this guy is a real chatterbox I mean he went on for 10-15 minutes chatty Kathy Chatty Kathy so he Brings up all the stuff and they all trace it back to some CIA thing that took place in 1953 Fancy that

2:41:58 And as I listen to this, I realize that one of the problems with the situation in Guatemala and some other South American stories... Ecuador would be another one. It'd be similar is there's no context So, as these two talk both Amy and this guy they go back and forth and back and forth. Oh the CIA is evil because they did this in that and they supported this guy and Washington armed these soldiers that are a bunch of butchers... And the question that never gets asked is why? What is who gives a crap about Guatemala one way or the other that day would be all-in on them well with resources But what earth hookers

2:42:41 It's all minor. I mean, even though the thing that really got me is that little mention at the beginning of this whole group of oligarchs have ravaged the country and stolen $100 million dollars. That is such small potato...$100 million dollars? Nothing! That's two years of Bill Clinton speeches! Good point yeah nice one nice one And so it's like, it just seems this whole thing doesn't make any sense to me. Somebody has got somebody must have somebody with this guy with expertise what is the deal here with this? And Guatemala has been nothing but trouble and but why I mean what I mean It's just a whole thing. It's just baffling there's no context There's no context for any of this

2:43:31 So. Has there been a new oil strike or something? I haven't seen any evidence of any of that stuff and it's still we're still dealing with 100 million dollars over years and years and years of stealing from the people, it's like do a startup! Do kickstarter. Do a Kickstarter. I mean the whole thing is just admit the context is missing in that so nobody gets worked up but I think the mainstream media they're three by three. I don't think they're covering because when they are on the newsroom going what's going on? Yeah what's up with I don't know. We have to explain it or we can't tell the story. I have a story from July 7th, 2015. Early on June 6 communities along the once tranquil La Pasión River in northern Guatemala awoke to find tens of thousands of dead fish floating on the surface. No that's not it. Palm oil production? Nope. I don't know but you know one of our producers knows...we have people living in Guatemala I believe maybe But I think so. I like context Yes please give us some of that
