About this episode

President Barack Obama landed in Alaska to film with Bear Grylls and address the GLACIER conference, warning of submerged nations and rising sea levels. The trip coincided with a United Nations memo reportedly instructing journalists to replace the term migrant with refugee to shift the global narrative. While the President faced a spawning salmon and network news focused on shoreline erosion in Shishmaref, Russia and China continued expanding their Arctic presence with a massive icebreaker fleet that dwarfs current U.S. capabilities.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán blocked travel at the Keleti train station in Budapest, highlighting the collapse of the Schengen Agreement as thousands of Syrians attempted to reach Germany. In the United States, the Department of Homeland Security conducted low-altitude radiation surveys over the San Francisco Bay Area using Bell 412 helicopters. Meanwhile, the State Department released 4,400 of Hillary Clinton's private emails, revealing technical server failures and cryptic correspondence with Sidney Blumenthal regarding gefilte fish. Project Veritas also released undercover footage allegedly showing Clinton campaign staff facilitating illegal foreign contributions through American intermediaries.

UN Memo on Migrant vs. Refugee Terminology

The United Nations reportedly issued a memo instructing reporters to cease using the term "migrant" in favor of "refugee." This shift in terminology is discussed alongside the absence of high-profile activists like Angelina Jolie from the current discourse.

Adam Curry celebrates his 51st birthday and describes a sudden decline in his near-vision. John C. Dvorak provides anecdotal advice on aging, explaining the transition from nearsightedness to farsightedness and how it affects DMV eye examinations.

adam curry· birthday· vision· farsightedness· dmv· glasses

01:22 Well, that's an interesting way to start the show. But yes happy birthday to you The reason why I start the show that way is because Google 5-1 yeah And you know what like clockwork two days ago my eyes started go crappier I'm not kidding so I'm nearsighted I'm near sighted So I always need my glasses see anything further than hmm about a foot and a half if I want to read and now all of a sudden the close up stuff is all fuzzy Well, you begin to get farsighted as you get older. The irony of the whole thing... What's happening now though is oh maybe you're right maybe it is a little more yeah so I'm a little more farsighted really? Yeah! So I don't even wear glasses anymore.

02:08 Okay, good prospect. Here's the funny thing I actually have the original license this I think it's happened Bob you may be around a little I think was older than you but uh I Was getting so far as you know The vision was getting farsighted just naturally diabolical just ossifies or something and starts to get Starts to do a certain thing which if your nearsighted when you're young you become Farsighted huh? If your farsighted when you're young you're screwed you wear those big coke bottles. Yeah, I'm gonna wear this big and it you know people who are real farsighted especially when they're older they were these coke bottle glasses and they have like

02:44 The lenses that makes our eyeballs look huge because they're fine. Yeah, luckily I don't have that no you're near size So yes your eyeballs look small and right in class but now I need to buy focals Oh here's a couple thought give you some hints okay aging hints with John C Devorah Aging hints with John C Dvorak So, one of the things is you start to go farsighted. At one point you get to the point where your vision's good enough to go into the DMV and get tested without your glasses? You don't have to wear glasses! So my driver's license doesn't have that little checkmark anymore. Growing Older Tips with John C. Dvorak. Very nice... I had another tip but I forgot what it was. Hey it's also a new month John which of course is very important. Turns out September is a bonanza for presidential proclamations

Mark is actually the best guy at these dinners because he doesn't drink so you can always see there's always someone to say well here's how it really went down because everyone gets kind of hammered

09:02 And then he can always provide us with the transcript of how it really happened. So we replaced the professor and Marianne with Dave Stewart STUART, not the singer. Dave Stewart a professor at UT Austin at age 18 he received the MacArthur Fellowship Award. The MacArthur Foundation grant?

She's the one who pounds the payment and gets the funding for the McDonald Observatory out there near Marfa, the big telescope This is where you go, oh cool. And of course I said hey do you think without even finishing my sentence he said absolutely anytime you want to get on that telescope let me know done What's the size of it? The one you look through this is a... I have to look it up. I've been to the Mount Wilson when it looked through that. It's definitely pretty big, I think...I want to say it is a 10...

Giant Magellan Telescope and the Moon Dime Myth

The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT), set for completion in Chile in 2021, is described as being ten times more powerful than the Hubble. A claim is made regarding a dime allegedly left on the moon by Neil Armstrong, which the telescope could theoretically focus on, though the story is met with skepticism.

11:11 in the scientist lodging. Like, no it's okay I'll just stay in my Airstream that's fine but I don't need to do that Let me see if it says... Oh that's right you got an Airstream and take him to the scope Exactly! Driving the stream to the scope baby exactly But more importantly John I think more importantly she is also the Director of Development for the GMT The Greenwich Mean Time? Holy crap she's behind that?! No Oh, here's... it's 1.2 meters? No. You keep on looking at the telescope. They got a couple of telescopes. You move on, we don't need to talk about it anymore. She is also the director of development for the GMT which is the Giant Magellan Telescope which will be completed and deployed in 2021 in Chile This is a 29 meter telescope The largest ground-based telescope of its time

12:12 of our time, of its kind I should say will be 10 times more powerful than the Hubble. And get this... So you know i lay my usual crap on her right? Oh so we can really uh look at the flag on the moon and because yeah it's like I know about the moon bases and you know the elevators and all that but you know the first land that wasn't real you know that's all bogus she said here's what she said to me And I'm very confused by this, because i can't really find any reference to it. She says Adam, I'll do you one better... You come to the opening, you come to Chile and I will have them focus the giant Magellan telescope on a dime that Neil Armstrong apparently left on the moon. That thing is that powerful? That's what she says but more importantly- This isn't a direct view telescope!

13:09 I think it is. No way, it comes up as a video screen or something. This I don't know oh so they can still fake me out with a splice in front of the table? But I didn't even know about this, uh...this dime on the moon. Had you ever heard of that? No, never heard about the dime on the moon And then i said oh yeah It was only on no agenda Yeah! Go ahead search for it. I had never heard of this You couldn't find it? I couldn't find after couple searches? No There's lots of dime references but not to a dime bag that were smoking in capsules Okay, you guys ready? Yeah. You ready? Yeah! Which one are we gonna use? Oh you're gonna use the dime on the moon gag?! I got the tape right here okay... You think he's gonna believe this bullshit? Of course! I'll put 10 bucks that he buys it! Of course! Well she promised so i've gotta believe her She's obviously a sorority girl Noooom

14:12 Why do you say? It is. They always like them, they just the mean sorority girls are always playing jokes on the boys. She's a mean girl okay I gotcha. Mean sorority girl that's my guess anyway so but i was kind of excited by that and they were really nice you know they...I don't even know if uh if Carolyn and Dave or Obama bots but we also had Margo more Margot Sawyer I think last name she's an artist also teaches and she's British Sorry? Yes, right. Right yes and she's I think she's been at previous Obama bot dinners and there is a certain point where the lawyer goes okay well you know kind of like hey Adam cue Adam why don't you do say some wacky shit that's exactly what it was like uh okay here comes the monkey boy dance monkey boy dance Okay yeah fine alright so of course

CHAPTER 07 / 55 Discussion

Political Debates at the Austin Dinner

A dinner conversation involved debates over the Obama administration's record on the Middle East, the economy, and the Affordable Care Act. Participants discussed Donald Trump's potential support for single-payer healthcare and the historical impact of the Glass-Steagall Act's repeal.

barack obama· donald trump· glass-steagall· middle east· health insurance· npr

15:06 It quickly turns to how great President Obama has been. And I'm like, what are you talking about? The Middle East is in flames. We have refugees rolling throughout all of the EU. They haven't closed Gitmo! They haven't closed Gitmo and the economy is crap but we have millions of people with health insurance. What's your health insurance premium? Did it go up? Yeah, but we had... Fine. How about everybody in Texas? Everybody in Texas have health insurance?" No." And then you know kind of somehow it morphed over to Donald Trump bless God bless Mark he said oh yeah but you know Trump wants single-payer so yeah that's what it should have been you know that that's a decent idea and then you know she said well you know but the Republicans they're all no good and you know Bill Clinton left us with all this

15:59 All this money, all this money. We had this huge surplus." I said yeah... What a bunch of cliches! I know and I said also Glass-Steagall which created the entire crisis and we dismantled that. Oh let's not forget the cruise missiles we shot at Serbia killing everybody. Yeah great oh not to mention blowjobs are now okay for children between 9 and 13. I didn't say that but i should have if I thought about it And then I was like, you know and then she says well So you're telling me that NPR is just selling me a bunch of crap. And I said yeah Oh geez You know there was the way just to just kind of go out not off the tracks. Well let me end this segment It's another installment of

CHAPTER 08 / 55 Discussion

Gwen Ifill's Twitter Controversy and Media Bias

16:46 I didn't want this segment to end. I thought there was more! Oh, well... I just wanted to mention that the OMS Budsman for PBS has gone after Gwen Ifill finally. Oh tell do tell very good story She's apparently one of those careless tweeters uh-huh Twitterers and so she puts a there's some tweet about the Iranian deal going through and so she retweets it and says take that BB That's what Glenn Gwen I'm sorry Glen Eiffel Yes, Glenn Eiffel and go then so apparently this caused an uproar because she's not supposed to be you know This is very biased. Do you think she was drunk tweeting or see my drunk tweet as possible?

17:39 There's a lot of people that tweet that are in positions where... I, by the way, might as well say this. This is a little side project of mine. I have isolated a number of journalists that are supposed to be these objective journalists and all the rest and they all have tweeter accounts so I go into twitters And I have been documenting their obvious biases. They're very obvious with them! Oh, is this based upon someone calling us biased incorrectly on the emails? No, not at all. I don't care what people say. Anyway, no, it was just abhorrent is the reason. But I didn't think of tracking Gwen so this triggered the ombudsman to look into her tweets and she's all you know she's just another Obama bot! She's embarrassing the company apparently

18:32 Well, we know that she is a hagiographer and wrote the Hagiography on the president. So yeah, we know she's but to say take that BB really? That doesn't seem like a very professional. That seems like a drunk tweet to me pretty sure. Yeah it made it not you mentioned it couldn't be but still she's one of those people I mean there's number of football players where the coach Takes their Twitter account away. They said no you cannot have this are you gonna go to so I know absolutely Absolutely because these guys are loudmouths, and they're doing stuff that just gets the other team in antagonize It's not good some people should not be tweeting yeah And apparently Gwen Ifill is one of my just guy was a funniest thing ever Anyway cool, so let's say with the Obama bots us too bad oh

CHAPTER 09 / 55 Discussion

Astronomical Observations and Scientific Skepticism

The conversation shifts to the technical capabilities of the McDonald Observatory and the use of "corner cubes" to align telescopes. Personal anecdotes about viewing Saturn's moons through homemade telescopes are shared.

19:18 Yeah, that was kind of it. Tina was there so she was backing me up. It's good. Oh, Tina was back and nobody...okay. Sounds like it was a little more sedate than usual. You know? But you know what? It was the first time go! I think we kind of eased into it. I got to get to know Dave. And Dave who looks uncannily a lot like What's a Paul Giamatto is that his name the actor yeah, he looks just like a kind of a did you ask him if you wanted some merlot? No I've no one inside. This isn't actually well. I've seen you before you'd like Merlo This is a very this is a famous professor. I want to ease in slowly with this guy He could take us places You could be he could be a you know good wheelbarrow was into all kinds of cool places Yeah, Guatemala

20:05 It's sheila ish killing her you should ask them about the goal of murdering of the Mayans that are going on right now Yeah, I'd you know But it's like it's like having dinner with a comedian for the first time and saying tell me a joke or You know like Ben Carson. Like hey can you do an abortion for me? He's like yeah, don't do that like Is that right? No not off-the-bat no, that's mad. That's not fun. No wonder. I don't get invited back Exactly Exactly. Well, I think the telescope is good news so they go to the one... Well it's going to be great too good to use the McDonald Observatory Telescope and then to actually see that the dime on the moon? I can't wait!

20:45 I can't wait. Was he digging through his pockets while he was up there and a dime fell out? No, apparently he left it there as proof of the flags and we can see the flags where we could show you that those mirrors... But there's a dime up there sure. And she also said that... That's proof! She also said that, you know, I said well, you know but i've seen this is the trick with the mirrors you know where you shoot a laser and it comes back and you know it's on a computer monitor you see little blip in everyone Mythbusters is all excited. She says, oh no they're real! They're called corner cubes and they're like little Rubik's cubes and we'd use them to align the telescope every night I said great but i want to see that too so that way that i can see you know this year at the uh at the mcdonald observatory. They need stuff to align the telescopes yeah yeah but it's cool it's science baby well they should get to do when to when to see saturn? I've seen Saturn and her moons...it's beautiful

21:42 What'd you look through to see Saturn? That was at that star party. Do you remember it was the Austin Astrological Society, and a guy with a homemade telescope man out of PVC pipe? It's beautiful! Beautiful. All right onward... Oh yes indeed there's a lot to talk about. A lot I don't know where do you want to start Well, you can go anywhere. I got clips to back pretty much anything up Okay well i know you don't like starting with climate change stuff off the bat Well if you want to do that let me make an assertion about the three networks Three by three? The 3x3 thing

CHAPTER 10 / 55 Discussion

NBC Coverage of Alaskan Climate Refugees

NBC News reported on the village of Shishmaref, Alaska, labeling its residents as America's first climate change refugees. The report highlights shoreline erosion and the $180 million cost estimated by the Army Corps of Engineers to relocate the community.

nbc news· shishmaref· alaska· climate change· arctic· erosion

22:21 There is climate change propaganda, and very little of it on ABC. Quite a bit... or not a lot... there's a moderate amount on CBS NBC all in In fact, NBC is the one who gave me the... Well of course. They're the guys who owned by GE. Does GE still own part of them? They still have a piece of the action yes. Yeah so you know they build all kinds of stuff like gas turbines all this stuff that you need to combat climate change So why wouldn't they So let's take a look at one of the big problems going on. This is the, this clip is America's first climate change refugees and this will be clipped on NBC. Okay.

23:10 Which means... Welcome to our land. But his land is changing fast as temperatures warm twice as rapidly here, as the rest of the planet NBC News has spent the past four months reporting throughout America's vast Arctic A place of tradition and dramatic change Nowhere are the problems more urgent than in Shishmaref which scientists say is just one bad storm away from being wiped off the map The ice that once protected their fragile shoreline from big fall storms is melting. And now they're losing as much as 20 feet a year to erosion. The ocean comes in pretty good, the water comes up pretty high. Because they are so isolated here it's not just homes but 600 lives that are at stake What we gonna do if get major flood? I'd say we have to move

24:01 These people are about to become some of America's first climate change refugees. It's just totally gone, it's gone. They're telling their older children they don't want them to go hunting on the ice because it's too dangerous and they don't want To lose them Cheryl Rosa is here to listen to them. Yeah report back at the White House a decade ago The locals voted to move to this higher ground 12 miles away But discovered that like the ice of the permafrost that is the ground is melting, too It's not cheap $180 million according to the Army Corps of Engineers. That's 300,000 dollars per person

CHAPTER 11 / 55 Discussion

Critique of Climate Change Media Narratives

The media's portrayal of Alaskan villages is criticized for using "derelict" imagery to suggest climate-driven decay. The discussion questions the high per-person cost of relocation and the selection of interview subjects in network news segments.

nbc news· alaska· climate change· media criticism· arctic· relocation

24:41 And moving even a few miles means cutting ties with ancestral lands that have sustained them and kept their traditions alive for centuries. Clifford Bujawana says, even if they had the money to move he worries his people cannot survive anywhere else. Gotta have access to those... You know I realize you're doing this three by three we have some overlap in Clips because of course i also had this But I cut it down. And also have the fish one, so i'm just gonna let you roll with all of that Well, I got the-I got a very variations on the fish one I thought were Yeah but I'd like to hear that. Like to hear your variation Let me do this-let me finish this off first with a couple of comments One is this town is a wreck Which town is exactly? Okumogokum You can say read and play it, I cant say Is that near Toktioktok or Inuvik It's around there somewhere I've been there

25:33 Okay, well anyway. They show a bunch of these derelict It's like going you can do this anywhere by the way in any American knows this that's been outside of his big city You can go to any place Anywhere and you'll find a barn That's falling down yeah there all over the place And they're very picturesque well There's a bunch of them in this town and in Alaska up at the Arctic Circle and So they shoot it as though this is like all is the weather. It's the climate change causing these barns to erode and fall apart and fall over And then there go on with this $300,000 a person to move these guys so a family of four cost 1.2 million somehow I don't know what it costs to build a house up there But if you look at these houses that they're living in it can't be a lot just get them all on Airstream As much whole thing is just nonsense

26:27 And we play the second part of this so at least you can get a couple because they did the same thing NBC did the same thing that they do when they go to Texas or any parts of South Alabama, Georgia. They find the dumbest sounding people I can find And interview them and the guys can barely speak good, and they we have an example that coming up later in the show I'm sure let's finish this off so he did the whole thing his family rely on the caribou walrus especially the bearded seal We try to get at least two a piece. That'll be just enough for our families and relatives cat

27:06 is hard to come by and in the grocery store cereal is over six bucks sugar cost nine dollars three times what most of us pay. That's nothing compared to the human cost of staying they have to move it's bad enough in New York when you have a super storm or New Orleans but at least help is right there up in the Arctic help is hundreds hundreds of miles away if they get trapped in a terrible storm. They could all perish." Thirty other Alaskan villages face the same peril as Shishmaref. Scientists say if the oceans continue to rise, it won't just be an Arctic problem but one for the rest of us too. Cynthia McFadden NBC News Kotzebue Hold on a second I bet we should stop right now and let me do a check yeah hold on a second hold on you know how it works John

Obama's Climate Change Speech in Alaska

President Obama delivered a speech in Alaska warning of the dire consequences of melting glaciers and rising sea levels. He claimed Alaska's glaciers lose 75 gigatons of ice annually and warned of a future involving submerged countries and desperate refugees.

27:57 You know how it works. Alright, ladies and gentlemen... The John C. Dvorak Global Warming Climate Check. Okay I'm gonna go look at the window and see if the oceans have been rising uh and inundated the mudflats actually it looks like they've been receding! The mudflats are there bigger than ever! That hasn't happened. Very good very good I don't know. There must be somewhere, maybe this thing it takes a while to get the equilibrium to get these mudflats right. Did you see the president's show while he was up there in Alaska? I saw only the first episode.

28:40 I took the liberty of taking a few clips of just how dire it really is. I mean, I had no idea John we are so incredibly screwed up there in Alaska. The president did about 30 minutes by himself standup and was all just this...I tried to pick a few bits out that are representative of what he said but it was a half hour of this. Since 1979 The summer sea ice in the Arctic has decreased by more than 40 percent. A decrease that has dramatically accelerated over the past two decades One new study estimates that Alaska's glaciers alone lose about 75 gigatons That is 75 billion tons of ice each year To put that into perspective, one scientist described a gigaton of ice as a block the size of the National Mall in Washington This is probably the stupidest

29:33 comparison, you compare... No. If you ask people on the street they won't even know what the National Mall is in Washington. And is it just flat? Is it one inch deep? Oh no! No, he actually... He'll put some context to that but you should say it's as large as like the... What does that Star Trek warrior ship that keeps showing everywhere No, put the triangle thing choose something like that people understand that from our state building Yes all the way to Lincoln Memorial four times as tall as The Washington Monument now imagine 75 of those ice blocks. That's what Alaska's glaciers alone lose each year The pace of melting is only getting faster it's now twice what it was between 1950 and

30:22 and 2000. Twice as fast as it was just a little over a decade ago, and it's one of the reasons why sea levels rose by about eight inches over the last century. Eight inches? And why are there projected to- What?! Sea level rose 8 inches but only near Alaska nowhere else! The sea is lopsided you say It's lopsided. It just slopes up. It stabilizes someday. Rise another one to four feet this century! One to four feet?! What is he saying? Yeah, wait until you hear this next bit... it just-it gets worse If we were to abandon our course of action if we stop trying to build a clean energy economy

31:00 and reduce carbon pollution. If we do nothing to keep glaciers from melting faster, and oceans from rising faster, and forests from burning faster, and storms from growing stronger... We will condemn our children to a planet beyond their capacity to repair. Submerged countries, abandoned cities, fields no longer growing, indigenous peoples who can't carry out... Wait, submerged countries? Traditions that Stretch back millennia. What did he just go to see Waterworld last week? Schlitterbahn! Entire industries of people who can't... He's crying here, listen to this. He's choking up over entire industries. Stretch back millennia. Entire industries of people who can't practice their livelihoods. Like podcasting we won't be able to podcast. Desperate refugees seeking the sanctuary of nations not their own political disruptions that could trigger multiple conflicts around the globe That's not a future of strong economic growth

31:57 Okay, stop no yeah. I'm sorry but that is the funniest thing I've ever heard clip of the day Oh you are just too kind my friend to kind I have course But it'll help Thank you. Although it's hard to do that at the start of the show, a clip of that. Well this happens a lot But I like the submerged countries Submerged countries is good one Now this freeway that I can see from up here is at sea level It runs over by the mud flats Yeah I'm waiting for these four feet of water come wafting over and maybe flood the freeway You should have eight inches already

Arctic Geopolitics and Icebreaker Shortages

Russia and China are increasing their presence in the Arctic, with Russia operating 41 icebreakers compared to the United States' two aging vessels. The Pentagon expressed concern over the U.S. military's ability to compete in the region as ice melts and new shipping routes open.

russia· china· arctic· icebreakers· pentagon· vladimir putin

32:47 It should be, yeah it should be flooded. I don't know why there's even a mudflat doesn't make sense Now before you do your 3x3 on the fish story which i have the raw of footage and something i noticed in that so ill play that after if appropriate but at the same time this is going on we have chinese ships coming near near the Arctic in the Bering Sea. We have, you know we have Russia of course we know already planted a flag supposedly at the bottom of the Arctic claiming it their own so the president's like well hold on a second yeah we got to do something up here because I promised Shell they could drill up there which he did. In 2007 the Pentagon took note when Russia planted its flag

33:32 under the North Pole for the first time. Russian President Vladimir Putin clearly is trying to flex his muscles in the Arctic north where Russia would like... By the way, while they're showing, while they're saying this flexes muscles and they're showing Putin and Medvedev in the gym I'm sure you saw the video, you know working out pumping iron ...to establish a new Suez Canal which it controls The Kremlin released this machismo video of Putin working out with his prime minister yesterday. Another insight into the Russian leader's psyche, Heather flexes muscles that's a good one Jennifer. What is the US doing to catch up militarily? Well today the president is making a trip to Alaska, the first trip by U.S. President north of the Arctic Circle to draw attention to global warming he announced he will speed up the acquisition of coveted icebreakers what shocking too many here at the Pentagon is the u.s. Navy has no functioning ice breakers and relies

34:27 on just two aging Coast Guard icebreakers. Russia operates 41 with plans to build 11 more, even China is getting into the game knowing oil and gas lies under the Arctic meanwhile the US Army plans to pull 3,000 troops out of Alaska some say poor timing as the U.S. plays catch-up in the Arctic so the question here if if everything's accelerating at twice the speed if we're losing What was it? How many gigatons? Tons. Gigatons of ice every... Why do we need ice breakers?! Don't! You can take a canoe! Just roll up there, roll right on through Yeah there shouldn't be any ice up there at all from the way I hear it Everyone tells us that there's no ice left So we need ice breakers very strange Doesn't make sense There is just this little thing in here which I find interesting Why are Russians building 11 more they've already got 41 So the Russians

35:21 They're building the news Did the report say they were part of the new Suez Canal? I didn't hear that let me just because Because that is I'm gonna mention something by the way this icebreaker meme is on all the networks It's always the same although. I did hear one product say it was had 42 icebreakers, but it's always the same. We got two and they keep showing these two old these icebreaker... Jalopies! Jalopies! Yeah they're junkers! Ice breaker jalopies I know oh we can't have that with a we're the strongest country in the world we need ice breakers to crush through the melted water

The Salmon Spawning Incident in Alaska

During his Alaska trip, a salmon spawned on President Obama's shoes while he was holding it for a photo opportunity. Network coverage of the event varied, with some outlets focusing on the lighthearted nature of the incident while others used it to lead into climate change segments.

barack obama· alaska· salmon· spawning· nbc news· media coverage

36:01 Okay, fine. All right do your three by three John has been watching the three networks for three weeks yes and fish story works all covered in various manners the Obama picked up a fish, salmon or something and it shot sperm all over him. Yes it spawned on him. Yeah spawned on him and so there's a bunch of different ways of handling this story now here's the NBC version of the fish story which was kind of the typical...NBC by the way is that the worst of these three networks in terms of news I'm just gonna tell you that there's no doubt about it but this is their version of the story

36:37 President Obama's wrapping up his three-day trip to Alaska and serving as part of his own camera crew using a selfie stick in front of the states exit glacier. He also spotted a whale while on a boat tour, and kind of a funny moment today when cameras captured a fish spawning on the president shoe as he held it And while he was watching kids perform, he just couldn't resist joining them in a dance Oh, they didn't even give the punchline It's NBC. They stink. Yeah, they stink like rotten spawning fish and so they so meanwhile they had They kicked it would do the I think the best one was that there was a number of jokes that came out of this But the best one I think was the short little clip and before we played I want to

37:22 give you a contrast. NBC and ABC were, ABC less so than NBC but NBC was all in and they had it as a teaser major teasers about global warming and climate change that's why he's up there and they did a lot of stories on it They had him at this glacier where he's supposed to be walking around and the classic thing is there was a sign that says 1951, where the glacier was in 1951. And now it's gone all the way. It's gone! It melted. He looks at it longingly like he gives a crap of where the glacier ever was. By the way we're out on an ice age so these glaciers should be moving back they've been moving back for the last thousand years Don't try to put any science under my butt John stop that

CHAPTER 15 / 55 Discussion

Media Comparison of the Obama Fish Story

A comparison of CBS and NBC coverage reveals different editorial approaches to the President's fish encounter. CBS is noted for providing a more concise report, while the discussion highlights an off-color joke made by the President that was largely sanitized by the networks.

cbs news· nbc news· barack obama· salmon· media bias· journalism

38:07 So, this glacier is like receding like a glacier would do over in this era. And they go on and on and on about it and then they go into climate change, climate change, climate change that's what they do at NBC. I want to play this before we play the punchline to The Fish Story. This is the same version of a very long story about the glaciers CBS on Obama and glaciers this is the way CBS played it hold on a second yeah okay It got the president hike today to Alaska's exit glacier, which is melting a sign marks where it stood in 1951. It shrunk a quarter mile proof according to President that time is running out to reverse climate change That's all they're gonna do then I get a belabor it they just ran it just still a little bit climate Now here is the CBS version of The Fish Story

39:05 Okay. And so it went as Davis stood her ground. Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry that's the wrong one CBS clip, Obama and the fish. That's the one right? Yes Sorry because you said version and I picked up on version here we go On his visit to Alaska today President Obama got close to nature And nature got close to him As the president held up a salmon The fish let say disgraced itself on Mr. Obama shoes Disgrace itself The president explained that the salmon was spawning A little bit A fisher woman told Mr. Obama that Salmon was happy to see him

39:44 And we'll be right back Alrighty alrighty now. Do you mean we're out there CBS doesn't dig around with these obvious bullcrap stories I have to give CBS credit is still it is the three before you go 3x3? I got the raw video of this and So there's a couple things we need to discuss first of all that You know I understand that, you know I remember as a kid seven years old maybe we go off to Florida be fishing and then you catch something. It's a big scary fish and I'm thinking I don't want to touch it but here put some gloves on okay i'll touch... You hold up for the camera when wearing gloves because I want to stick my fingers in the gill like I don't like it! The president not only has gloves on he has these big red rubber kitchen gloves red mind you

40:36 And then she hands... So he's like a sheepish seven-year old. Yes, and she exactly She hands him the fish it then and you can see it squirting down He goes ooh! And he drops the fish on the ground Did you see they go? Ooh! I mean like it like a seven year old would do and he drops the fish and then And he steals her line! Yeah, I missed that it's a good catch if you always got to go for the raw video man Always gotta go for that. Hey, I was like really you steal her line

41:35 Well, because when the president said... I get the network out and give CBS credit for not going. They could have had him dropping a thing and acting like a kid and then going, ooh! They didn't show that? They didn't show him dropping it on the ground? No no they just... It was short. It was in-and-out you got this he's holding the fish bang bang bang we're gone go to commercial. And then they lie by saying well they don't necessarily lie but you can barely hear the fisherwoman saying he's happy to see you and he says hey he's happy to see me which is like the gayest of all gay jokes you know the fish just came all over me He must be happy to see me. See, they protected him from ridicule on that one." Oh, that's a good point. Because it's a pretty off-color joke for the president. Let's face reality... Okay? Really?! These networks really are not there to do anything but sell products and mostly pills

42:29 And if they did what you suggested, they would be inundated by these Obama bots. The ones you just had dinner with that would be all over... Oh! You're just making fun of the president! You are biased! You hate Obama! What are you a Republican? It's not worth the aggravation. It's not it's not for a big network No its true But if it were anyone else Anyone else They would have been plastered Yeah, if it was George Bush. Or Sarah Palin. Oh yeah, ha-ha she's so stupid! Exactly. I find that is a distortion of the news It's not that important but is a distortion of the news. The president made an off color joke and they should have said well you know what? In my opinion

43:23 I thought the joke was funny. He gained points, of course he stole it from the girl... But she wasn't miked! Yeah she was off-miked. Even the CBS report never had her miked they just said what she said. Right right yeah but you can hear it very clearly in the clip Did very well. Well, it's not that good through the sky But it's this its audible you can and if you watch the video You see her talking you hear it at least I just happy to see me Bill thats funny It's a good joke would know they don't give it to him because of off-color for The president can't have that though this whole thing by the way was look at the pictures of this event Of him floating around This is the second Obama

CHAPTER 16 / 55 Discussion

RT CrossTalk on Climate-Driven Migration

A segment on RT's "CrossTalk" argued that Western intervention in Libya and climate change are the primary drivers of the current migration crisis. The commentator claimed that the "Global South" is becoming uninhabitable due to environmental shifts.

rt· crosstalk· libya· climate change· migration· global south

44:08 Oh, it's the second one. Yeah I agree Have you looked at the pictures? There are some pictures that are like wow this guy is not even... It doesn't look like him. Well, I have a transition clip for us This was a... this is the show Cross Talk on RT. Have you ever seen that? Oh yeah! And the host is some American guy who looks a lot like Eric Schmidt from Google I just can't get him out of my head Well, he looks like it's like a chubbier version Yeah It looks like Eric Schmidt from Google and he has on You know He has a like a Syrian on He's got some other douchebag and some douchebag two douchebags from the UK That's a lot of douche bags in there It's a douche bag show An one of them is an artist An artist slash activist

44:51 But actually doesn't he has a couple of valid points. He has some things that are you know, some good points but he comes up with this Just and I was just scratching my head. This of course is about the The refugees or what we call the migrant crisis there are clear cases Where the more your first guess was arguing it's absolutely true, I mean Libya for example yeah It's fairly evident that Western intervention There followed by a total failure and betrayal of those people in building any kind of infrastructure has created the world world's greatest client state for people smugglers. It is not a coincidence that so many people from sub-Saharan Africa are coming up through... So here he already has the little bit of meme, you know it is not because of war but its because oh there are people smugglers there yeah those guys are to blame! The Libyan root but there are two big causes of migration we haven't discussed yet one which is climate change

45:42 And that's a really, really important one. It is incredibly difficult to imagine how to address that problem. It is incredibly difficult to imagine your whole statement dude! Because it has almost already taken place. It sort of irreversible in certain respects and making vast amounts of the global south uninhabitable. Uninhabitable? Uninhabitable I say?! Very inhabitable before they got bombed... Now, I'm going to tell you this in advance. I have to look for it though because i've taken notes now on all the specific network news shows by block and this particular meme did appear and I believe it was on NBC

CHAPTER 17 / 55 Discussion

The Syrian Refugee Crisis and the Bodrum Beach Photo

The tragic image of a drowned Syrian toddler on a beach in Bodrum, Turkey, sparked international outcry and dominated global news cycles. The discussion examines how different networks handled the disturbing imagery and the family's attempt to reach Greece.

syria· turkey· bodrum· refugees· cnn· alan kurdi

46:28 blaming climate change for this migration, or instead of refugees. I just have to dig through the notes so I'll be doing that." Well, I awoke yesterday to Europe in turmoil. The EUs are just...I mean it's out of control and there was and it's really cool to see how this works as I was looking at the of course the Dutch newspapers I subscribe to a lot of feeds so it pops up quickly. There is one picture, which I have a little piece of video here from CNN International that has really gripped everybody's heart you know now of course it's all real. We're standing of course outside this temporary refugee shelter in the city of Munich where mostly Iraqi and Syrian refugees arrive and many of them are looking for

47:16 to start a new life here in Europe. But tragically, we also know that not all of them make it here and we have to warn you that the pictures that were about to show you are extremely disturbing but we do feel that we have to show them to you because they show us this stark reality of the enormous tragedy that's unfolding right here on Europe's doors now The pictures that you're seeing right now is the body of a dead body of a small child. The boy's body was washed onto a tourist beach in Bodrum, Turkey today. He and his family believed to be from Syria were refugees trying to get from the Turkish coast

47:54 to Greece. At least 12 others died when their boats sank and this is the disturbing reality that so many families face when they make that dangerous journey to try to come to places like this." There you go, so you will see that if you haven't already Well I all the networks ran that picture Some of them ran video at the one that did the best job of it Which, when some explanation was actually ABC and I believe let me take a look at this here. They it may it was either ABC or CBS they read they ran a video with the and they talked to his brother the 10 he was three years old and their brother was ten years old oh they found his family okay they had details yes you know and

48:39 And no, no clips. I mean there's no clip it was all visual but every network showed this cute little...I mean it's pathetic! uh... little boy with the shoes on him, it was just like a heartbreak. Face down in the water? Well not that one, it's when they're carrying him and he had the cradled kid Oh you didn't see him face down in the water? No I saw one of the networks did that only yeah so the face down but that was only one of the networks and i think that was ABC That's world press photo award winning that kind of shot well I think the climate change, because I'm looking through this is not in here. The climate change angle on the immigration was on democracy now which is all in on it makes nothing but sense makes lots of sense. I got a few more migrant clips because you know me I'm a little bit obsessed by it

Migrant Standoff at Budapest Train Station

Hundreds of migrants were stranded at the Keleti train station in Budapest after Hungarian authorities blocked them from traveling to Germany. The situation highlighted tensions surrounding the Schengen Agreement and the enforcement of EU travel laws.

hungary· budapest· schengen agreement· germany· migrants· keleti station

49:31 You got anything? Because I'll just roll through them real quick. I don't have migrants, I don't know if I do... I'll look but play yours. Right so first we go to here we go this is from Euronews this is now we have hundreds if not thousands of migrants are stranded in Hungary and Budapest And here's what is interesting, is we have...throughout the EU we have the Schengen Agreement which that's really what on the table right now. The Schengen Agreement means no borders very much like you can go from Texas to Oklahoma but yeah, you can travel right across United States not a problem. Well, you will be stopped in California? Well I would yeah. So these... No anybody coming from out of state to check for fruit.

50:22 Well, what they're doing here is people are arriving with tents. You know like nice tents because these are educated people these are not sand bunnies that really real people who speak English quite fluently and then you'll hear in some of these clips more type of this even dudes named Ben in here highly educated And they also have money and they're buying train tickets, and then they're not being allowed to travel. They are being corralled... What is the British word again they use in London for protesters? Yeah it's like cheap kettling. Kettling yes kettling so let's here's hundreds I think probably more who were stranded here in Budapest There are angry scenes in Budapest as hundreds of migrants congregate outside the main international train station

51:10 They've been prevented from travelling on to Western Europe, primarily Germany. A government spokesman says Hungary is enforcing EU law requiring travellers within Europe to hold a valid passport and a Schengen visa. Look at my son! Look what happened to him! His head! Hungary is primarily a transit country for migrants. There are those who say this is about politics, not people. It's paid. It's not installations. You say that you care of the human rights? We need a little bit of human rights! rights a little bit. Just security, just security and basics okay? We want to go to Germany, to let us to go Germany. Police catch us no taxi, no train to go Germany why we are human. Temporary camps have appeared around the station which was closed for short time more than 140 thousand across the border from Serbia this year alone

52:07 The question now is where do they go? Our correspondent says the majority of these people are angry because they don't understand why they're allowed to pay a lot of money for their tickets and then not be allowed to get on a train. Well it's even worse than that, and from this I believe has arisen a spokesperson he has all the hallmarks look for him guy with an orange shirt sleeveless shirt kind of stocky... So i'm human you're human I don't remember what's on it, but he has kind of no. No he says that oh That's the guy yes I know this guy this yeah I think you might be onto something because I noticed this same exact guy the same exact clip I think it became it came from ITN ah

52:48 That would make sense. On every network I have a second clip from him where he's actually explaining the real situation because what they did is they opened the doors, people rushed in then they opened the back doors caught them and took him right away to the camp just like yeah we're going on the train you're right through to the back and you're in the camp They make us a trap inside. They let us inside at 5 o'clock and they took out the guys from the other door to the camp. Tell us what is the solution? Everyone can be in our situation, everyone can have their own

53:29 role. Please make us our solution, please find for us a solution I have no more appetite to speak! I think words cannot be reached! How to reach our words? Yeah, so this guy and he's really pissed off but I think he will become some form of spokesperson because he is telegenic. He has got a very recognizable orange shirt. He has kind of tufted hair on top his head. He is young guy then look for him to become some form of spokesperson meanwhile in the Starfleet command there at the EU we have the Prime Minister of Hungary standing next to Schultz

CHAPTER 19 / 55 Discussion

Hungary's Stance on the European Migrant Crisis

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated that his country's role is merely to register migrants who ultimately wish to reach Germany. The crisis is framed as a failure of EU solidarity and a challenge to the open-border policies of the Schengen area.

viktor orban· hungary· european union· schengen agreement· germany· migration

54:15 Yeah, things next to Schultz. And here's what he has to say about the whole problem... So we don't have difficulties with those who would like to stay in Hungary. I like that! No, no one in their right mind wants to stay in Hungary The Hungarians do not want to stay in Hungary They'll work for poop That's why the Hungarians are so happy with the Schengen agreement but they've all dispersed mainly to Germany Nobody would like to stay in Hungary neither in Slovakia nor Poland or Estonia All of them would like to go to Germany Our job is only to register them

54:58 So, this does come down to the Schengen Agreement. And when you have a union like the European Union who have no problem particularly the Germans but everyone's in on it who have no problem completely kicking a fellow country into the dirt and stomping on them like they've been doing to Greece what do you expect they're going to do to people from outside? The whole EU is showing its dirty underwear The whole EU is, they just hate each other. They don't give a crap about anybody else. They're all egomaniacs the guys running the show and there is no concise agreement on what to do with these you know with all of these migrants I have one last clip this is uh... I think again it's an honor. I should mention a little historical thing here Oh please

CHAPTER 20 / 55 Discussion

Historical Context of Passports and Global Trade

The history of passport controls is discussed, noting that they were largely absent during the era of global trade leading up to World War I. The modern requirement for identification and travel documents is presented as a relatively recent development in international relations.

passports· world war i· global trade· immigration· history· border control

55:52 In the 1900s, leading up to World War I. There was no...that was another era of fantastic global trade. There's great charts and graphs about how global trade was going up and up and up, and passport control is eliminated very much like we have now. This is not...people always think, I guess people think there were passport controls in the Roman Empire. I don't know what they're thinking but the passport control's fairly recent And it's been on and off, but I believe you probably would be hard-pressed to find Abraham Lincoln's passport for example. But it really came to be after World War One because these people were freely roaming around from country to country that's how that guy got shot

56:42 the prince from somebody from another country. There's no passport control, there is nobody keeping tabs on anybody. No but it's part of the New World Order plan obviously to have outliers. Yeah you want a passport... When I was kid in fact in school little kid like in fourth grade fifth grade South Africa was mocked for being this horrible place by my liberal teachers for being a horrible place because they required their citizens to have ID. Which you are not required to carry in the United States. No, you're not but you get on a jet or an airplane. Some guys have done it but its horrible experience Yeah its not fun but you have the right to travel freely

CHAPTER 21 / 55 Discussion

Syrian Refugees and European Labor Needs

Refugees from Kobani, Syria, express their desire to reach Germany or Norway for safety and education. The discussion considers the potential for these high-ambition migrants to bolster the aging workforce and "dying cultures" of European nations.

syria· kobani· germany· norway· labor force· demographics

57:29 Continue. Oh, final one the migrants clearly want the Europeans to help I'm from Syria from Kobani Yes, and I'm Kurdish And and I'd like to point out that most of these people are coming from Syria The ones who are the influx right now they say all there from Afghanistan in Iraq above and then serious always come in a Syrian But every single person I see on camera is from Syria. Why did you leave Kobani? It's very bad. I'm leaving Kobani because in Kobani all killing, this is in Kobani not safe we can't save our children and our family my wife We leave Kobani because we want to make a new life for our family

58:19 Where do you want to go to? Where do you want to live? Germany or Norway. Why did you choose Germany for example, why Germany? Because in Germany we can save us family We can make a new life for my daughter I will complete my study because I am engineering by information technology communication The Hungarian government says there are too many people, that no more people can come. I think nobody from Syria make trouble here We far from Syria for save our family, for save ourselves

58:55 We just need to leave here, to go. I am five days in Hungary we need somebody, we needs country save us. We needs European save us! Europeans please save us please save us You know, somebody pointed out that this group of refugees specifically the ones you're referring to as the Syrians. This is a fantastic workforce at some point in the future for the Europeans. It's a dude named Ben! He's fantastic and they'll do anything. Right, they'll do anything probably work cheap but the point somebody made was it takes an inordinate amount of ambition

59:44 to pick up from a country your family's been born and raised in, and lived in forever. Unroot yourselves and then trek literally, trek. You're not driving off in your Mercedes. You're making this miserable trip with a high-ambition person that would have a lot to offer most of these dying European cultures." There's lots of numbers that show the Italians are going be...there is no Italian left! They don't want to breed. They just don't want to breed! Here is my question for you? Why is it that with every earthquake or you know tidal wave or whatever? Immediately Hollywood gets together everybody's all in. Oh, let's let's go immediately Let's put together a benefit concert everyone Bob Bon Jovi's here everybody why is this not happening now? You've got some distraction come on clue

EU Internal Conflict Over Refugee Quotas

The European Union's attempt to impose refugee quotas on member states like the Netherlands has caused internal friction. The segment critiques the lack of compassion within the EU and the tendency to link migration to climate change.

1:00:50 We need Clooney to help. Clooney to the rescue! Let's get one of these together, change your icon on Facebook and Twitter. There is no icon changing nobody gives a crap. The State Department obviously against us doing anything because we think... I've said this before and you more or less agree with this. We want this to happen because it's messing up Europe in its gizmo you know just it's causing chaos It could be the way the arguments are going, it could be a very significant chink in the EU armor of solidarity. No one can make a call you know? The Dutch are...and this is only I know the Dutch because i speak their language

1:01:29 They said, okay we'll take 2,000 and then the EU Starfleet command goes no you need to take at least 8,000. Well we don't really want...screw that! You see there is no compassion among the European Union well there's no compassion among anybody because we still think this is done by climate change you know oh well but you know what if I get an electric car I'll save the refugees or some crap like that it's really disgusting meanwhile just to bring it all full circle We have the Turks are now actively engaged in fighting, fighting

Turkey is accused of using the international campaign against ISIS as a "cloak" to target Kurdish forces in Syria and Iraq. Reports indicate that Turkish airstrikes have overwhelmingly focused on the PKK rather than ISIS targets.

turkey· kurds· pkk· isis· syria· recep tayyip erdogan

1:02:06 Well, it's supposed to be in Syria with coalition airstrikes. But listen to this report from obviously RT—I say that just so you can take it with whatever grain of salt you want—but I think is pretty accurate. In Syria and Iraq Kurdish forces have been one of the U.S.'s greatest allies in rolling back ISIS. However, to Turkey the Kurds represent a major political threat and in June the pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party won historic gains gains in the Turkish parliament, capturing 13% of the vote. This left the Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's Justice and Development Party without a majority in the parliament for the first time since 2002. So within a month of those elections, Erdogan was agreeing to bomb ISIS but as veteran journalist Patrick Coburn at The Independent explains it swiftly emerged that Ankara's real target was the Kurds in Turkey and Syria and Iraq

1:03:02 Action against ISIS was almost an afterthought. And it was hit only by three Turkish airstrikes compared to 300 against the bases of the Kurdistan Workers Party or PKK Turkey has used the US campaign against ISIS as a cloak to take out political frustrations on the Kurdish people." Aha! Well, there you go now Here's the thing that...I don't have a clip but i do have um let me see where is that little story here The Russians... let me just see where is this? Oh yeah. Gazprom, that would be the Russians has just announced that they may join the Arabian gas pipeline now this is very interesting to me being a student of the pipeline infrastructure as you know the entire fight

CHAPTER 24 / 55 Discussion

Gazprom and the Arab Gas Pipeline

Russia's Gazprom is reportedly considering joining the Arab Gas Pipeline project following a major gas discovery off the coast of Egypt. This shift in focus may signal a change in the geopolitical strategy regarding the Syrian conflict and regional energy infrastructure.

gazprom· russia· syria· egypt· pipelines· natural gas

1:03:56 Or, as I have asserted the entire fight over Syria was Bashar al-Assad's decision instead of participating in the Arab gas pipeline which brings gas up from Qatar through Syria through Homs Aleppo all these towns that are being were obliterated into Turkey. over the Iraq-Iran gas pipeline, which was supposed to go all the way through to the Russian deepwater port or possibly up to Turkey after the port of Ceyhan. And when he said, oh no we're not gonna do that, we'll use Iran-Iraq, that's when all hell broke loose and now Gazprom is saying you know screw these guys will just take part in this one...we don't care

1:04:43 And I think this signals that the Russians are giving up. They're also now reportedly flying sorties around Syria, so who knows what we could see happen in the sky but for sure if they join the Arab Gas Pipeline Project which i'd also believe is partially predicated upon the fact that there was a huge gas strike off the coast of Egypt Which means, oh you know what? We don't need those a-holes in Israel with their Leviathan project. We'll just team up with the Egyptians and take part in their gas over there! So I think Syria is more in play now than ever with this very important change in focus of Gazprom, ie., the Russians. Well that's possible... There's definitely stuff changing

1:08:01 We have a few people to thank. To thank profusely, beginning with Earl Maynard in Newark, New Jersey. He gave us an instant night $1,000 and one cent. I've been listening to the show since the first iPhone was released in 2007 when I decided to check out Apple's podcasts that first episode hit me squarely in the mouth When did we start this thing? It was eight years ago. A long time ago, yeah well you said 2007... Yeah 2007 I guess. Anyway uh all i believe me that far as I'm concerned anyone who listened to the first episode and actually continued listening I don't know what their problem was

1:08:54 All while reasoning with my already skeptical and questioning nature, the format content levity and most importantly the characters both literally and metaphorically are brilliant! Thank you. To a... Well let me guess, you have still not resolved your monitor issue? To a luxe. Hey y'know really?! And it's-y'know it's not trivial Yeah but okay Adam and I also shared today. Would you like some interns to help? I can get some interns as our birthday thus the best date in the multiverse reference, uh-huh Actually, you know if I had Interns that when her insurance helped So it's clearly shall I read it because this is good This is horrible last because anytime there's just this overlay of color like its just blows out I mean It's just like like him so much possible and read through it

1:09:49 Looks good on my monitor. Well, I suppose if i turn the brightness up a little please well you do that? Oh, I'll read along until you catch up please accept My humble apologies along with this modest palindromic donation of $1,000 and one cent please Accept my apologies for being a boner as long as I have been If you can find it in your collective hearts to bestow upon me a dedouching, it would be very much appreciated indeed. Yes we'll do that as part of your sequence The meaning of the donation though I love the sound effect have always felt bad when you yourselves have to pitch-in the extra penny To make my...to make whole my fellow palindromic aspiring knights who donate 3x333 level to achieve knighthood Well today I say no more!

1:10:31 By providing the extra penny with my internet donation of this format, I both maintain the unique palindromic donation format and provide that final scintilla required to bring one fellow producer across the line at no cost to the cause. Hopefully others will follow suit and strengthen the order, and I will gladly grab that. Thank you, that penny? It's a big-ass penny. And put it in the little cup. It's in the cup! I'd like to call out Lords Phoebe and Bennett as douchebags... DOUCHEBAGS! ...both of whom have cunningly evaded my direct attempts at mouth hittings over the years. I hope publicizing their evasiveness may finally bring them to become listeners and who knows maybe one day future producers

1:11:13 I'd like to request the following combo. Don't look over here, chemtrailswtc7sciencepluskarma for today's donation and birthday shoutouts to, for and from Adam myself, Migs, Joe, Gene Desiree my mom Smoo and any other Virgos on the list today Adam i'll hold down Gitmo Lowlands for you on this occasion of our birthday Oh is he from uh The Lowlands?

Local vs. National News and the "No Lives Matter" Concept

The hosts debate the media's tendency to elevate local crimes into national tragedies. They discuss the "No Lives Matter" hashtag as a critique of selective media outrage and acknowledge several large donations from listeners in Illinois and North Carolina.

1:23:04 A lot of people got, you know when something happens in someone's own backyard. This is what I've noticed our show has clearly grown more people are listening and when like the shooter at the base in was it North Carolina or was it South Carolina? You know and we we take our typical like okay, you know what's a it's a story and we deconstruct. We can't do that This is bullshit crap. You don't know the sorrow in the hurt I Do that guy? And then another one when um uh... are deconstruction of the construction just of the reports and what was out there of the in the tv shooters at a tv shooting well we did get this is going to be i'd really like doing that story began with you know it's a local story and his local news stories as you state local

1:23:54 And people are saying, I'm going to bring up. But I got it. I gotta know there's like this is a national tragedy and you're making light of it. No, it's not a national tragedy. I'm sorry. It's just not local murder. Yeah, it happens in Oakland every day. Those lives are just as important as anybody else's. No, John. Hashtag no lives matter you know better than that. No lives matter? We have these types of things... That was a national story not a national story it was turned into one for some reason and they're going to discuss a story that is they're trying to break into national which has not gotten anywhere yet which is part of my deconstruction of the three networks because one network on it nobody else isn't I think all right I'm looking forward

1:24:38 Alright, we have one last one here. And this is Steven Schneider in Gurney Illinois 200 bucks and he sent in a note so he sends a check-in So he sends a note on some sort of like composition you know from where you have the spiral binding so it tears out and it's written in longhand of some very arcane style, and small. So I actually have a magnifying glass in my hand to read this note." Okay! So you have to imagine this... John & Adam thank you for your courage no something, no jumping through hoops, I get it, but

1:25:29 Well, there's this ration of house karma. He needs some house buying karma I bet. With a pinch of Jake's jokes, jocks, jaysom have would be much appreciated. You sure it's not the monitor but it's just your eyes? It could be, but I got a magnifying glass so that shouldn't be my eyes. You...I could send you a...I'll send you a scan of this! I'm believing you. I'm just asking an illogical question Oh, I get it. I see it. Its jobs karma Jobs karma With a pinch of jobs karma So he wants house buying karma and jobs karma Okay End of note? Yeah Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs Let's vote for jobs! You thought Karma

1:26:27 I am getting more and more far sighted to the point where we have to extend my arm to read stuff. But when it's like this, the magnifying glass does the trick but it's hard to read. You should get a monocle maybe that would look kind of cool. I'll give you a scan of this note and I want you to tell me if you could read it. I still think you should get a monocle that would just look dynamite don't you think? And you can put on a chain and then you know when the hot girl comes by you go And then you open your eye and it drops out. I think the days of the monocle are past, I think. I think it's time for it to come back. It's very steampunk-ish. It's like the Pince Nez. Steampunk-ish! I'd rather get the Pince Nez. Yes okay well enjoy your pince nez

1:27:13 All right. Thank you all very much to the executive producers and our associate executive producers, thank you to our Instant Knight and our big donors this is a big, big birthday for me!

We hit people in the mouth. Shut up slaves! Slavelets? Shut Up Slaves Okay hold on... There's a little glitch here. Get rid of that good okay now wow there's so many let me since we were talking about Sir Jim

Gender Neutral Pronouns at Universities

The University of Tennessee and Harvard University have introduced guidelines for using gender-neutral pronouns such as "ze" and "xeer." The discussion critiques the rise of "Vice Chancellors of Diversity" and the potential impact on campus culture.

university of tennessee· harvard· pronouns· gender identity· diversity· inclusion

1:28:20 Why don't I, uh... pick up his note. Here he is. Adam and John this is Sir Jim Barron-Jim of Jamaica Plain Your Sunday show struck a chord! It struck a chord! The University of Tennessee Knoxville Is my alma mater! Nurturing mother in parentheses Great campus by the way, been there But I guess it's now my Alma Nutra Unless nurturing is too sexist When I was there in the early 70s, do the math. Our student newspaper The Daily Beacon decided to banish sexist pronouns in favor of T, Ter and Tem. And he gives an example... This may be another one of John's cycles! I did not know this

1:29:24 Well, I'd say it's more fractal as it's just coming right back. The problem is...it does fall on like a 40-year thing so that would be cyclic. But there was nothing like that going on in the Bay Area. There was pretty funny local news report This is the University of Kentucky. In this report, they call it UT which is confusing because not Austin and they have a state representative who they bring in... It's like a point counterpoint. They're the state representative who was a good old boy then they have the vice chancellor of diversity and inclusion

1:30:07 Who's effeminate to say the least. Somebody gets paid? Yes, a lot of money apparently. A chancellor to do that? Vice-chancellor so there is even someone above him vice chancellor of diversity and diversite and inclusion. But why would you want too? I mean, i think it's good when you say somebody is a he or she and then he called me. And this is such a perfect report because you got the redneck... He doesn't look like a redneck but he's a redneck. Is this the diversity guy? No! This is the Redneck States Representative Why would you want to?! It's good to call him his or hers. It's much better But why would you want too

1:30:48 I mean, it's good when you say somebody is a he or she and then he called me. That kind of tells somebody something if we go meet Z Somebody's thinking you're meeting somebody from a different planet, I guess. For some like State Representative Bill Dunn it is a foreign concept using words like the instead of he or she but UT's Vice Chancellor of Diversity and Inclusion says these pronouns have been around for awhile and they have been part of campaigns and dialogues at other campuses in the country They are not so new they've been around if you do a Google This is the guy If you do a Google this is the vice chancellor do with Google.

1:31:41 It's okay to be gender non-conforming just as long as you're on board with all the messaging. You can't be messaging Non-conforming like we are in the no agenda family, but it's okay to be gender non conforming I thought somebody was sending an email around that somebody was just fooling people with it. And then when I found out it was true, that we actually have people getting paid a lot of money to sit around and come up with this nonsense." During the first week of class UT suggested teachers ask students to provide a name and pronoun instead of calling role That's because the name on a roster may not reflect the same gender The student uses now. It makes me think about how might this impact

1:32:21 climate for students who are gender non-conforming. How might it impact? How might it impact the students who are gender non-conforming? Retention, you just gotta think about that when people don't... You got to think about that! You might piss somebody off! ...feel as though they matter, um, that you're not trying to be welcoming. While the university says its about inclusion and sensitivity others believe it's taking things a little too far People need to toughen up They probably need to have The Office of Suck It Up I'd be proud to meet the office of suck it up and I'm putting my boot up your ass office. Meanwhile, it's Harvard. Harvard University, the faculty of arts and sciences registration tool now gives students the option to choose preferred gender pronouns for the first time according to the Harvard Crimson campus newspaper this includes the well-known ZZ Xeer and zeers and... Well known? I'm sorry are you reading from the paper

Washington State University Language Restrictions

Professors at Washington State University reportedly included language restrictions in their syllabi, threatening to fail students for using terms like "illegal alien," "male," or "female." The university later issued a statement supporting open dialogue following public backlash.

washington state university· syllabus· free speech· illegal alien· political correctness

1:33:15 They use the term well-known? No, I said this. Oh you threw it in. The Harvard Crimson is well known... Is that not well known? No the paper is but you said the well known ZZ Reaper. Oh no I say this I'm sorry. But yes embellishment from the newsreader doesn't count Washington State, WSU up there. Wazoo! Where everything's on fire they've got their own version a little more interesting in the syllabus apparently and how students will be penalized for using incorrect verbiage On Monday WSU released a statement addressing the syllabi issue and saying that open dialogue vigorous debate in a free exchange of ideas are part of who the university is at the core

1:33:58 WSU's campus is once again bustling with students fresh off of summer break. Fall classes began a week ago, and with those classes for some students came strict rules about language they cannot use in class Some professors in the Department of Critical Culture, Gender and Race Studies made it clear in their syllabi what language and terms students are not allowed to use with a result potentially as dramatic as getting point-stocked or even failing a class. A little harsh but we gotta live with that There are rules within the world so you gotta have to follow them In one class the terms illegal... Rule follower!

1:34:38 Yes, we've I sewed him harsh but yeah, there are rules in the world so you gotta have to follow Yeah, this is your rule follower. There are all their rules in the world you got a file I'm shut out in a class There In one class, the terms illegal alien colored people and male and female are cited in a syllabus as words that could gain a student an F. That's like unfair. A lot of students look at it as illegal immigrants. That's how we see it on our newsfeed like we see all over CNN and Fox News is that what they call them as legal immigrants? In the infamous words of Donald Trump We're gonna make America great again with people like this

1:35:27 These this is the future of America everybody can't use male. I can't use female. I can't use colored people What was the other one? How come you can't use colored people but he can use people of color die You ask the right questions, mr. Dvorak Sure do I don't know every time I hear people of color and which I heard just The other day there's this said commonly I think to myself that's interesting, that they would use a var... it's a variation of colored people. Yep As far as i can tell if you just wiggle the words around a little bit and somehow one is good and one terrible!

Oh, before i forget, I have a quick PR mention from Rhino the Bearded now as you know Rhino has his double o show and he runs the no agenda pod save music stream all thanks to the No Agenda Show and Void Zero making sure that all happens so want to remind you of using Europe He's been in Europe for I guess a week-and-a-half or so our big show is coming up Friday night I'm really excited I'm a week-and-a-half into my journey through Europe everything has been fantastic he's doing these live shows And I believe they're all live on the stream. Um, I'm already missing the great people that I have met so far on the trip but we have four bands playing starting at 8pm there've been some lineup changes and plan to put together a big post for the show while on the train to Amsterdam tomorrow. I guess it's going to be in Amsterdam We already have some No Agenda regulars talking about coming and a mention of the show will go along way and bring you more obviously So go to rhinowithabearded.com if your in the hood definitely check out his uh...his shows sounds like alot fun

1:37:10 Cool yeah, yeah right now from the backwoods of Mississippi all the way to big shows in in Amsterdam and in the EU that's That's a success story right there. So we got two notes on kind of on the same topic people writing in From from engineers into sticks mm-hmm that cited the new And you wanted to do second I don't saw the second note they came in from a different guy who cited the gear That you used to do this sort of broadcasting nowadays. They don't I'm kind of confused by this because I didn't know this was going on where you have these new backpacks that become remote Yeah with the multiple LTE connections, and they get a motion together yeah You don't need the van anymore right all right? You don't need the satellite uplink you don't need any that stuff or the microwave pioneer that at South by it's so funny, but that was actually Colleen

1:38:07 is uh... the woman that went to work for a little bit you know and now she's working at face book on the project at three d with those things call you probably are oculus rock like it was really nice i thought i could listen to this girl actives right and she did that really and and we'll never find ever do you know did again after she left as no one else can read it out remember there was it was a great system who was very much astonishing as oppressive and So, this company in Canada makes all these different pieces of equipment and it's called the JIR or something. I don't have the name in front of me but they have these little backpack things and what a lot of is just a little device that hooks onto to back end of... Yeah right on to the battery pack. Yeah under the battery pack and then there's even one system for people that work at TV stations

1:39:03 Use your iPhone if you happen to be wandering around and some breaking news happens You pull out the iPhone you go right on the air. We're using the streaming feature well I just got in my My kit, I got the booster and the Yagi antenna for For the for the I love laundry tour yeah, so we can boost up the signal and do everything on LTE right It's a little bigger than I expected oh Yeah, the yaghi in such they ought to take a picture of it. It doesn't look that big in the picture because of course There's no reference. I'm like mom this is this is rather large

1:39:40 I've been messing around with it yesterday. I immediately get the roof, the Yagi does right? Yeah, it goes outside yeah yeah you can just have a drilled into the roof no that has a pole mount so by I'm gonna mounted on something about this is the poll it goes up in the Yagis like pointing somewhere exactly nice and because I tried to yes they had an indoors and it was I didn't do it right, and it starts feeding back. And then I started to feel weird like I was getting RF burns and maybe I should try... Oh my God! Get out of there! My hand like I could feel it you know? Like uh-huh I'm not gonna touch this thing Yeah, you gotta be careful. Yes high frequency very high radio frequency so yeah that can mess you up some but anyway I'll beat hopefully I won't need to but I will be going down to the coast tomorrow with the airstream Okay staying through The Labor Day weekends. So I'll be doing the show Sunday from the beach With the Aggie wait well if I need the Yagi yeah But I hope I want it should you me at the beach and its air stream mm-hmm watching the waves waft then he'll be watching the fireworks

1:40:41 Hope there's fireworks. We'll find some places fireworks is a music guides the firework yes, Firework guide calm yeah, okay? Huh cool. Yeah, then I think you finally found your niche your your your finally I hate to say that i had something to do with it but, I did encourage the ham thing and you become a veteran ham guy. In fact, I've become a stooge and I'm ratting you out for being a bad ham. And right? You got into the point where your like yeah exactly total stooge classic And now you got the RV or the V- or the Airstream, You're gonna be the greatest old fart ever. I just need a rocking chair and a shotgun and i'm good to go! And a dog named Boo!

1:41:27 Hound dog You know you're right and but also the enthusiasm and excitement from people about this tour is It's really unparalleled, then I do want to give an update. I will not be going up to Canada on this first leg There's a whole bunch of reasons But I have to be back here in Austin by the 28th which we'll explain as we get closer to the date So I will be going I think I leave on the 18th of September, I will be going through Colorado. The Colorado first and then to Yellowstone but then i'll be going back again so we can do take different route back yeah of course so we can hit two different spots in uh in Colorado okay it's a big state Colorado you know the big state yes it's also yeah it's also radioactive don't stay there too long lots of good weed man I might hang out in Colorado lots of good weed there's no doubt about that

FAA NOTAM on GPS and TCAS Interference

The FAA issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) warning of unreliable GPS, TCAS, and ADS-B signals in the Southeast U.S. due to Department of Defense exercises. The interference affects a large area from Virginia to Florida and extends 200 miles offshore.

faa· notam· gps· tcas· department of defense· aviation

1:42:21 Everybody is setting the standard for the country. They are way they're doing it and everything is that there are the leaders California which had two-year head start on them They had the possibility of passing in two years before Colorado ever didn't could have been California should be and could have been the leader in this but the idiots in, California voted No Yeah, I know yeah So I, as a kind of you know...I'm always keeping my eye on GPS stuff and there were some issues recently that we discussed. You said it was all Google Maps that sucked but i said maybe it's the GPS and then this NOTAM came out. This is a NOTAM is a notice to airmen which no matter what airfield you go to you always look up the NOTAMs and one your departing from to see if there are any cranes or obstructions or closures etc

1:43:13 And this one came in two days ago with one day warning, which is very abnormal. Starting... here it is TCAS ADS-B unreliable in Southeast US beginning September 2nd Now the TCAS is the terrain collision alert system So if you and every modern aircraft, even the Cessnas they have this. You know if you got a glass cockpit... Even If you don't I mean shoot! I had one in but didn't have a glass cockpit it could just be on your responder so if you come too close to another aircraft It'll give you a TCAS warning The ADS-B is part of the new This is the transponder mode its part of the new next gen system which as we know the entire heart or the beating heart failed miserably which has supposed to have triple redundancy and never could fail that's the way they sold it

1:44:04 that $1.2 billion project, and now they say here's the no-tam due to military activities the TCAS and ADSB surveillance may be unreliable in the airspace over Virginia North Carolina South Carolina Georgia and Florida and extending approximately 200 nautical miles offshore from 1 a.m eastern daylight time September 2nd until midnight October first Pilots are advised that the traffic alert and TCAS may fail to establish tracks on nearby aircraft, may fail to receive traffic alerts or resolution advisories. Operators should be aware that the tracks may first appear within close proximity to their aircraft and may immediately go into TARA status which means you get all kinds of shit beeping at you and horns going off because it looks like your track is on a collision course

1:44:57 Pilots are advised to maintain an increased visual awareness in this area. If operators believe that an aircraft should have triggered an alert, the incident should be reported to air traffic control as soon as possible." This is due to a late notice Department of Defense exercise. The NBAA has voiced its concern to the FAA that these sorts of significant impact tests need much more notice to operators in the United States And so this is New York Center, Washington Center, Jacksonville Center Miami Center and New York Ocean...Oceanic. This is outrageous! So they are jiggling the handle on the GPS system Maybe they're repositioning the satellites? They have to do that once in a while Hold on now it sounds like they're jiggling the handle John I don't think their repositioning anything Why not just say we're repositioning the satellites? They're jamming them

1:45:54 But is it this easy? If the Department of Defense can do this, why can't the Chinese or the Russians or any other so-called adversary. We could just make it so planes have unreliable data. The number one thing you want is reliable data. The whole next gen system is based upon science, technology is all gonna work. We don't even need pilots anymore." Oh unless the Department of Defense is doing an exercise that you may want some pilots on board for visual awareness? We must have some listener that has a idea what this is we need to know what this is well I think it's... Well yes we do need to know but if the all of this works based on

1:46:41 radio frequency transmissions, the ADS-B is in the clear. It's not encrypted so is TCAS. So if they're screwing with this... I mean, if you're really jamming it won't do anything but it sounds like a positioning issue so it has to be something GPS related and you don't... Do you really have to calibrate the satellites for them to give accurate GPS rating? I'd never heard of calibration this way With this kind of impact, 200 miles out to sea and then all the whole southeastern United States. This is concerning." Yeah! That's a good catch. We've got a screwball thing going on around here too you should play this clip. This is the radiation checking

CHAPTER 36 / 55 Discussion

DHS Radiation Surveys Over the Bay Area

The Department of Homeland Security is conducting low-altitude helicopter flights over the San Francisco Bay Area to measure background radiation. The mission uses a specially equipped Bell 412 helicopter flying at 300 feet.

department of homeland security· radiation· bay area· helicopters· bell 412

1:47:28 In fact a minute ago the chopper just flew over the studio. The Department of Homeland Security is doing some radiation checks over the Bay Area Did you say studio? That's... Yeah, it's a studio A specially equipped helicopter is being used for the low altitude... Hold on that took me awhile What?! I said there was only 10 beats before he caught that He had to interrupt the clip Well yeah It just hit me all of sudden You were calling your archive studio. This is the studio, the gall my friend Bay Area specially equipped helicopter is being used for the low altitude mission now new at six tonight KPAX 5's Mike Sugarman is here with what the feds are looking for radiation they are looking forward

1:48:17 in this part of the Bay Area that you see behind me. This was really a hard story to get any information from, I counted up by 26 phone calls 15 texts and sent 10 emails nobody wanted to buck the Department of Homeland Security which put out a one-page memo last week no one wanted to go on the record but here's what we were able to piece together so we could try to explain it to ya See that helicopter flying around this morning? When don't you see one! This one caught a lot of people's attention. I thought it was Donald Trump? Nope! It's your basic Bell 412 helicopter, we caught up with it at the Hayward Airport today when it was landing. It is on a special mission... Is Homeland Security measuring radiation around the Bay Area? That's not ideal. You know what I mean? I guess that's good they're measuring it but why...?

1:49:09 You know, I recall during the clip. I was looking at atomic insights calm. I'd recall our nuclear resident nuclear expert, but our nuclear expert in residence...I'm sorry that's the way it should be. Our nuclear expert in residence Sir Atomic Rod Adams I thought he had posted something about this and he will no doubt after this program get back to us and we'll have a report on Sunday, I'm sure what this is about. He knows the stuff, he knows the players who find out for us. I am very curious about this. Well one thing they pointed out is that this thing is flying around at 300 feet

1:49:47 That's rather low is it going fast yes, but as you go. You can imagine was it doing a hundred knots at 300 feet or just no I think around lazy yeah well that's that's noisy 300 feet is noise Yeah, that's what I was saying when it flew by the studio And I think the bell I think the bell was very susceptible to blade flap which you've heard It's the noise yeah So that could be why and taking a helicopter ride off for as one does on the island of Kauai, which is pretty cool. And I just was there for some event and I decided to take this chopper ride in this guy who was a Vietnam vet who used to brag about it and he had the headphones on. I figured he's listening to some crazy music. And so I'm stopped at a dad. And there's his family of three sitting in

1:50:39 And he says, well that's my last shift. He says would you guys like to experience a bat turn? Oh it's a wing over love that! I of course knew what it was and I said yeah and I was so enthusiastic that these three people kind of nodded their head looking at each other three of them Yeah So this guy does a bunch of them because they just comes rolling around What happens is you pull the stick back You go up but you don't make a loop just at the top where you would, and you know Apaches can do it but these Bells can't do it. And then you kick the tail really hard and you flip down and go down towards Earth to come back up again It's a very exciting move

1:51:25 Well, these people were sheet white. Did the kid puke on you? No nobody puked on me I think the kid liked it and thought it was fun but the parents weren't happy It's a bat turn, it's called a wing over But okay, maybe that's a NOM guy thing You also have mass bumping You know what mass bumping is? It was a NOM guy Yeah so just a little bit of aviation history A little bit of lore mass bumping is when the Vietnam guys were flying the U-WiIs, and a single blade and not a fully articulated rotor system. So the blades you know they canter...they tilt back and forth. And when you're flying nape of the earth as it's called where you're just popping over hills going this close to Earth as possible, you go up the hill then when you push the stick down hard

Hillary Clinton's Private Email Server Revelations

Newly released State Department emails show that Hillary Clinton's private server experienced technical failures, leading to bounced messages. The discussion critiques Huma Abedin's explanation of these failures and the security implications of the private system.

hillary clinton· state department· huma abedin· email server· classified information

1:52:16 If you do it too hard, or just enough really... then you can get the rotor to bump the tail boom. if you do it TOO HARD, it chops its tail boom off and then that's what is known as a bad day but that is uh... massed bumping not to be confused with clam bumping. There's alot of bumping going on Alright! Um... Onto how about little Hillary news? Talking about bumping. Clam bumping yeah So, Hillary again I'm seeing is pretty clear that ABC hates her. And they're all in on Jeb Bush and of course there's...that's because I still believe it's the Disney connection. Jeb Bush was the governor of Florida and Disney has got most of his action down in Florida. He's been very good to them

1:53:03 And he's been good to them and they've been good to him. That's the way I see it, and Hillary is a person that they don't like anybody but Jeb actually but they really dislike Hillary so we have these different takes on the new batch of emails that have come out Yes, the Gefilte Fish emails Right in fact one of them has the Gefilte fish story So let's see which ones i got here Hillary emails NBC. This is the Hillary emails NBC soft version, this is the soft version not very interesting but this is the way they the way NBC handled the story now to the new revelations from a latest avalanche of Hillary Clinton e-mails released by the State Department and what NBC News has learned about what the controversy might mean for a potential Joe Biden presidential bid we get the details from NBC's Andrew Mitchell

1:53:56 Hillary Clinton under a barrage of emails she never thought would see the light of day. Under court orders, 7100 more pages including 125 newly classified confidential. Others are gossipy dinner party chatter in 2010 that General David Petraeus then at the height of his power was thinking of running for president. Clinton says the private system was convenient but the emails show it was anything but and An exchange with close aide Huma Abedin reveals even the State Department help desk didn't recognize Clinton's private email address. In August 2010, Abedin writes Clinton they had no idea it was you just some random address so they emailed sorry about that why use a private unsecure email system in the first place observers say it was all about privacy this wasn't active defensiveness to try and protect some bit of their terrain from

1:54:51 I'd like to say something about the email bounce, which is what that is about and what bullshit that is from Huma Abedin. So I read the emails or whatever was officially released from it. And what happened is for some reason there was a catastrophic failure of her email server, which can mean that it was offline, the backup system was offline and could have been as simple as a DNS entry issue but for whatever reason that came back with a code that was catastrophic. Now, what happens in this case when someone from the State Department sends an email to an e-mail address and is receiving a bounce which means it never connects to her e-mail system? The mail transport agent will identify this and say okay I've tried for three days, I give up here's the message that did not reach its intended recipient

1:55:54 Now, for her...for Uma Abedin to say to Hillary, ha-ha-ha they didn't know it was you is bullshit because the whole email comes back not just the catastrophic error. You get the whole email back. You can read the email which then went to hopefully be dudes named Ben who are cleared to read this type of stuff and they saw it was addressed to Hillary and they immediately sent it to Uma Abedin saying hey this didn't reach the recipient I know it was meant for Hillary, but this is like oh they didn't know it was you. No bull crap Bull crap Yeah I agree I think that's bull crap

Media Coverage of the Clinton Email Dump

The latest batch of 4,400 Clinton emails includes Sidney Blumenthal's critiques of Washington figures and a cryptic inquiry about "gefilte fish." CBS News reported that 125 of these emails have been retroactively classified.

hillary clinton· sidney blumenthal· gefilte fish· john boehner· cbs news

1:56:29 But then we go to CBS, which at least...because you got all these emails and this is a reminds me of well to talk about that little bit later. I'm now under the understanding that the pack of the Office of Management...what is it? OMC or OPM? OPM, Office of Personnel Management yes. That data's in the wild. Well there's a report that I saw this morning on Radar Online no less that some hacker is saying I have all of your emails, $500,000 and they're yours. I didn't hear that one. Yeah, this just came out this morning which does kind of fall in line with that big rumor that i heard it was all over for her but I don't know if thats it whatever I was wrong on the prediction based on my sources but it could be that so lets go then this is the same story but this is done by CBS and CBS takes a humorous tact now ABC did the gefilte fish thing yeah I have that if you want to hear it yeah play that

1:57:28 4,400 emails reveal a Secretary of State who was deeply engaged in the minutiae of diplomacy and fascinated by Washington intrigue. Gefiltefish where are we on this? She asked a pair of aides in 2010 The seemingly cryptic email referred to nine containers of carp caught up in a trade dispute from longtime confidant Sidney Blumenthal she got critiques of DC power brokers Hillary Clinton under a barrage of emails she never thought would see the light of day Under court order, 7100 more pages including 125 newly classified confidential. Others are gossipy dinner party chatter in 2010 that General David Petraeus then ran the power. Yeah you're right all right now

1:58:14 CBS takes at least...they give the Blumenthal thing, they bring the Blumenthal thing in but they give us some really juicy stuff. I think that there are some...they're indicating...CBS by the way is just so much better when they do the same story of other networks where they go deeper or they're more entertaining you'd think ABC would be more entertaining but CBS is really funnier So here's the CBS, this is the Clinton emails funny rundown on CBS. This is actually educational in some odd way. Nancy Cordes went through the latest batch 4,400 emails reveal a Secretary of State who was deeply engaged in the minutiae of diplomacy and fascinated by Washington intrigue. Gefiltefish where are we on this? She asked a pair of aides in 2010. The seemingly cryptic email referred to nine containers of carp caught up in a trade dispute from longtime confidant Sidney Blumenthal she got critiques of DC power brokers then White House senior advisor David Axelrod

1:59:13 has enough to do fixing the domestic messes he's made. House Speaker John Boehner, he wrote was an alcoholic and lazy. Boehner's office responded in a statement today saying the only reason this mishandling of classified information has been exposed is because of speaker Boehner's decision to create the select committee on Benghazi 125 of emails in this latest batch have been retroactively marked classified because the information in them is now considered too sensitive to release to the public. The new emails show Clinton chafed from time-to-time at the confines of a classified computer system that could be difficult to access, In one exchange her deputy chief of staff Jake Sullivan said he couldn't send her a statement from former British Prime Minister Tony Blair because it's on the classified system. Clinton responded

2:00:04 It's a public statement. Just email it." Sullivan replied, trust me I share your exasperation but until Ops converts it to the unclassified email system there is no physical way for me to email it. I can't even access it The State Department says none of the newly released emails contained information that was considered classified at the time that Clinton received it. Intelligence officials aren't so sure, Scott and they say regardless that material should not have been sitting on Clinton's home server for years You know, is there a publicly available archive of all of these emails? The news organizations seem to have them. But where is it?" I don't know. I haven't been able to find it either. Now if you notice that report, you heard the gefilte fish thing...it's pretty much the same reporter but they do different versions of this stories

CHAPTER 39 / 55 Discussion

Sidney Blumenthal and the "Gefilte Fish" Code

The hosts speculate that "gefilte fish" may be a code word used in Clinton's correspondence with Sidney Blumenthal. They also discuss the role of the intelligence community in pushing for the classification of her private communications.

sidney blumenthal· hillary clinton· gefilte fish· code· intelligence community

2:00:55 on the Western edition. They're a little more elaborate, and that's where you get some of this crazy stuff like about Boehner being an alcoholic... Yeah, there is the U.S. Department of State has released some emails I don't think all of them... I'd love to get the Blumenthal ones! But here's something, here's anomaly I noticed The email address she seems to be using in she switches around because what was it? Was it HDR, I think or something that ClintonEmail.com? H-R-D. Or HRC Well she also has hrod17 at ClintonEmail.com I've noticed this too as I finally thought about it but yeah she has about six or seven different emails he's trying to do her sorting So she didn't just have one She had multiple email accounts that were different This is not discussed

2:01:50 No, it's never discussed. Yeah it's not like she has the one right but that may be her way of sorting you know I send they use this email where I can find a male...I don't know! I have no idea but it's crazy and it's probably illegal yeah although you do get all these apologies oh no it wasn't doing she didn't do anything wrong these Clinton apologists just get on your nerves after a while You know, they would be so much easier if Elizabeth Warren was in these guys would bail on Hillary so fast that you wouldn't know what hit ya. What is the Blumenthal email you'd like to see? Let me see if it's in this particular... Any of them! I think anything with Blumenthal is hilarious He's always saying nasty stuff about people and he's her mentor. Sydney Blumenthal Yeah no, yeah no. Oh boy, I said yeah no.

2:02:55 Okay, let's see what else I have here. Libya latest... Yeah they appear to be here in this particular archive. I wonder if it is all of them? Let me see confidential December 10th sources with direct access to Libyan national government as well the highest level European governments West intelligence blah blah blah blah okay Well I'll have to look at these So the Department of State has the virtual reading room document search and you can find Blumenthal stuff in there but its... I'l make sure to look through some of these They look like some funny ones Yeah, Rolling Stone magazine. Okay cool. I like it does anyone doubt Banner's a drunk That's my favorite of course that's why he's crying all the time

2:03:43 NBC had a separate report over these emails. One of Hillary Clinton's top aides, Uma Abedin is in the headlines this morning Again it's the top aide that she used to be The Body Man Remember when they called her that? The body man Because she- That's what they call it Reggie Love was Obama's body man Pretty much sleeps in the same hotel suite Answers the phone Bed Yeah, whatever. With Republican lawmakers and Donald Trump taking aim at her position and in Trump's case her marriage Over the weekend Abedin became the target of an attack usually saved for candidates The Republican lawmakers and conservative activist groups have demanded documents related to Abedin time at the State Department when she also held a job with an outside private firm raising questions they say about potential conflicts of interest

2:04:28 Now, Clinton campaign officials are defending Abedin's work at the State Department and accusing Republicans of trying to bully her. One official saying the suggestion of wrongdoing is quote unfounded and from partisans in Congress with a clear agenda now as for Trump Democrats and Republicans criticized him for attacking Abedin many noting it is highly unusual for a presidential candidate to go after an advisor Oh! now she's an advisor Hmm. No, how about lover? We're missing the key phrase that pays her lover. I don't understand why she just doesn't come out and say it. It would be dear to her. If she gets killed on the election in other words...

2:05:10 thrown out of the election by some other scandal. I mean, they're just... And if you notice that report even on CBS they said well it's not a big deal because she didn't have any classified stuff and then it always follows especially on CBS with the phrase but the intelligence community disagrees It's the intelligence community, whoever that intelligence community is specifically. That's after Hillary. They know that they cannot let her get into the presidency. Oh no! And by law information is classified by nature not by stamp... By nature. A very important distinction. There was one... Weasel their way out of this and I just will not let it go

Project Veritas Undercover at Hillary Rally

Project Veritas released undercover footage showing Hillary Clinton campaign staff appearing to facilitate illegal campaign contributions from a Canadian citizen. The video suggests staff advised using an American intermediary to bypass federal election laws.

project veritas· hillary clinton· campaign finance· canada· undercover

2:05:57 And it's hurting her and most of the news reports say that it is hurting her, especially in Iowa. Well there's something else that I don't know if its getting any legs on if you heard about it but Project Veritas those are the guys who did the undercover video exposing NPR taking money You know, like almost bribes. Yeah those guys those guys so they went undercover at a Hillary rally and they got on video and audio her national marketing director but I believe in Her national campaign director is there as well. So you could buy Hillary buttons and stuff, and you get the donation. The donation goes in, you get a rainbow button... I didn't know she was selling rainbow buttons! Okay, rainbow button and a hat. And then this woman from Candanavia shows up

2:06:51 And they correctly cite the rules saying, I'm sorry you cannot buy this. You can't contribute because there's rules and it's the Federal Election Committee and we can't accept your money." And then listen what happens... Hey Aaron wait before you take another person so she is Canadian do have a green card or are you in passport? Is this audible for you? Can you hear it? Barely all I heard there was the word green. Yes, did you have a green card or some other US document? But she traveled all the way from Canada to support Hillary

2:07:30 You can give her, she's paying cash. Are you serious? It's not my rule. I'm a star. So if she is clear it is not my rule federal election commission... I get it the federal election commission requires... Can I give her the money? She's American and she should buy for me. She could make a donation. I'll buy it. So Canadians can't buy them, but Americans can buy it for them? Not technically you would just be making the donation. Oh okay. Right on the spot someone else says well I'll take her money and give it to you then that's fine. It's not technically because the donation will be to you but its okay that way which shows you the corruptness

2:08:14 This is how it works. I'll just give it to some American guy or an American non-profit, you know, nonprofit or a super PAC... this is illegal! Yeah yeah technically. Technically or not its illegal! Yeah well and It's not like these aren't her top people saying this you know? And by the way yes I said it gefilte fish has got to be code Oh that's interesting you just came up with that No I thought about it And I thought, you know...I looked at this particular email and Gefiltefish...her comment is where are we on this? So to me it's like... Is it really a shipping container of Gefiltefish or is it load of cocaine. You know and I haven't found a real good drug reference for Gefiltefish but I'm pretty sure its code. Its code for something other than actual fish

2:09:14 Yeah, cool. You say Gefilte Fish where are we on this? It's about some project or... Yeah, Project Gefilte Fish. The project, yeah it could be a project. Mission Gefilte Fish. Something to do with the Jewish vote? That is your code right there BBNet and Yahoo IE Project Gefilte Fish And then quickly it's all explained away. You know, why was the gefilte fish container held up? Why no one has gone to that Oh this was about some container of gefilte fish now or was it cod? Cod or whatever they use for that Yeah, those sounds lame and you know why would she give well they're trying I don't know that yeah, you're right It's misreporting a bit. No just like oh it was a different tariff on this on this type of fish It sounds fishy to me that um sorry

ABC News purchased and aired exclusive video of San Antonio deputies shooting Gilbert Flores, who appeared to have his hands up. The FBI is now investigating the incident, which has sparked controversy over the ethics of paying for news footage.

2:10:04 Alright, so here's... So I do this the... We'll get a little bit into the three networks and the three stories. The networks do not all play the exact same stories They mostly do. There are universal stories Monday Tuesday and Wednesday were the, well I'll say on Monday. Hillary's got in all the news stories there is two out of three networks talk about the Ukrainian violence they all talk about Wall Street they all except one mentioned deflate gate as usually in a secondary block NBC ran it into A Block CBS ran it into B Block

2:10:51 And actually, they had a better... CBS is just more of it. It's just a better news broadcast. They instead of just talking about the Flakegate as the stupid story that is and nobody cares, they talk about the poor artist who keeps drawing these gruesome pictures of Brady and her very short stories in The B Block at CBS are like 30 seconds. Well, it's The B Block! That's what supposed to be short? Well, The B Block often is one story On August 31st, the B-block was one story on peanut allergies on NBC. It was two stories on CBS it was The Man Falls to Death and Deflategate Artist ABC One Story Man Falls To Death

2:11:37 So that was like, you know, that's another one of these breaking stories. But the story that's on ABC, that's interesting that the other networks refuse to pick up on and it's fairly I think is somewhat controversial because if you listen to the clip about this and don't even know about this story but this took place in I guess it wasn't San Antonio, San Antonio some guy and only ABC is covering this and they've covered it with follow ups nobody else is picking it up Some fat guy who just beat up his girlfriend or something was out front. Yeah, he came out and the cops shot him and then later they said well you can't... Well do I give it away or does the clip explain? Well let's play the clip is San Antonio part 1 ABC Tonight the FBI is investigating images out of San Antonio Texas It appears that you can see in the video here a man with hands up in the air then two sheriff's deputies opening fire

2:12:28 The victim falling to the ground, he did not survive. Those officers now on administrative leave and under scrutiny Many asking why for three minutes afterward did they not give that victim any medical help? ABC's Matt Gutman in Texas It seemed a routine domestic incident in this San Antonio neighborhood. In that video purchased by ABC affiliate KSAT, we see police trying to corner a suspect 41 year old Gilbert Flores finally he appears to obey orders surrendering arms in the air then without warning the deputies draw their weapons and watch again

2:13:07 All right, that's the first part of this clip. Did you notice a little no deal? It was very short mentioned casually mentioned but they did mention it as keeping the other two networks away. No explain purchased video. Ah very good that's why it was only on ABC And now there's no discussion. Paying people for news, always sketchy. Always sketchy and this is what the Inquirer does that's where they get a lot of scoops nobody gets because they pay people This is a very controversial aspect of journalism

2:13:46 Paying people for you know, it's like a get an informant. You know you just slip them at 20 Give him a 50 give him a check now you pay him This is what they did here and now the other two networks that seemingly unless this catches on And it hasn't even though it's been running for two days now and as a police killing of some fat guy with no shirt on with his arms in the air and they gunned him down is not getting any traction whatsoever because of I believe... Because of the purchase video. Yeah, because in the purchase video now you can play part two of this and it's kind of where we are. I think this is still a intro but I don't think I have to follow up but it's not much different. A telephone pole seems to obscure Flores' left arm You can see a deputy flip him over

2:14:27 But for the next three minutes, no one appears to administer first aid. Flores died later at a hospital but the Bexar County Sheriff's Office said he had threatened them with a knife and it claims He attacked his girlfriend and in 18 month old after the shooting One of the sheriff's first moves was to blast KSAT For airing the video going on social media to call it unethical and urging citizens To call this station to complain what do you think of the conduct of your officers? Well certainly It is disturbing, it's cause for concern and the important thing is that we look at all of the evidence. The shooting is now being investigated by the FBI's Civil Rights Division and key to its case could be a second video shot by one of these neighbors from much closer Now, the Sheriff's office says it has the video David but won't release it Won't release it? Yeah

2:15:25 I don't know what's going on. If all networks were on it, we'd know because there would be so much pressure to do this and that but these other two networks have decided now we're not gonna do this, we're sticking out, we're not doing a story and so it's not getting the traction that the story of the killings of the two reporters got cause everyone was on all over that You gotta get all three networks in on these things to make it a national story. If you want to make it a national story, Ben I have some news on cops and cop killing not them killing but being killed and I would like to do that in the B block if thats okay with you? We're already in the C block so thats kind of a problem. Stand by stand by we are moving from C to D, C to Delta, delta block for the follow up! Im gonna show my support by donating to no agenda imagine all the people who could deal with that oh yeah thats be fab Oh No Agenda

Patrick Kobel's "Illegal Books" Gift

Sir Patrick Kobel gifted the hosts copies of Abbie Hoffman's "Steal This Book" and "The Anarchist Cookbook." The hosts review the contents of these controversial texts, dismissing the idea that they are dangerous in a modern context.

patrick kobel· abbie hoffman· anarchist cookbook· steal this book· hacking· vmware

2:19:59 Oh, Sir Patrick Kobel. I need to read a note first? Why don't you read hers because... His! Yours! Zee! I went to lunch with him. Anyone who's ever been in the San Francisco Bay Area or lived in the Berkeley area in particular know this place and I decided take them there once So he went to Juan's to have some Mexican food and we talked about, you know, hacking stuff. He is here for the VMware. Was he on his Ducati 850? No! Well, he is not going to drive that out here. Why not?! In fact, he has taken Uber. He didn't even rent a car. Far cry from the Ducati...

2:20:40 He looks like a Ducati guy. So it was great, he contributed $101 and he's from I don't know Murfreesboro or one of those places in Tennessee? Yeah around Nashville. A beautiful gift from him. I got the gift finally, showed up. Did you get the same gift? I don't know! What's your gift? Well i got a note, I have a note sealed with his night ring and the No Agenda sealing wax it says ITM Adam hope you like your illegal books yeah same exact note what books did you get I got still this book, original copy. Yeah? Did you get it... is yours autographed? It appeared to be in a fire Mine was autographed by Abby Hoffman! I don't believe mine was. Which is which is a book that now that I've read through it again

2:21:27 has influenced me hugely. I remember reading this in the American Women's Club library when i was eight or nine years old, just seeing some of the pictures reminded me of you know the things that I noticed back then as a kid and specifically the chapter about radio and pirate radio I think was of huge influence on me Did you get another book? I got two. Yeah, I got the Anarchist Cookbook Now i had not read this it's a hard copy but guess its a reprint hard copy It's re-do yeah some guys This is the thing that everyone so upset about Its dumb! This is...its no only dumb its idiotic and theres a whole...it all about anarchism theres a whole foreword let me see I have some introduction actually

2:22:21 There will never be a traditional revolution in this country in the sense of Russian or French revolutions. The revolution in this country has already started, it is a multifaceted battle on many different fronts. It's a battle politically between the young freedom fighters in Chicago and the stagnant system represented by arthritic old men making laws they do not understand and making wars they have no feeling for. It is a battle between poor blacks and rich employers, a battle between artists and censors, a battle between Black Panthers and the debris lying around, oh and the Black Panthers and the police. A battle between the welfare mother in a bureaucracy this is really an original Occupy Wall Street type document as yet somehow this has now been morphed into terrorists and it's horrible yeah it's ridiculous its stupid and if fact that anyone would have this book would be considered terrorist ludicrous yes and you ended then did end the description of this so-called

2:23:15 You know, revolution that's underway I think is best exemplified by a clip you had earlier in the show. The rule follower guy played that! Hold on. It's so true the rule follower here we go this is the rule follower everybody harsh, but yeah There are rules in the world So you kind of have to call I'm a rule follower? So if the rule is that we have to do it and then I'll do it now there's three chapters Three main chapters the first one is all about drugs how to get it how to make it How to sell it how to profit from it This just you know just drugs then the second was is electronic sabotage and surveillance And it's really

2:23:53 crude drawings of, you know... it's kind of crap. If anything it would be like the Project Veritas guys might have learned nothing from it and then the last one is explosives and booby traps And you know It's like this-it's also very crude This-you look at this Like its not really a fantastic guide to making any bombs I do like these little quotes they have in the explosives and booby traps. The most heroic word in all languages is revolution, that's Eugene Debs and they had a thinker an Abraham Lincoln quote somewhere...I should've marked this but you know what? To say that this is a dangerous book is bull!

2:24:39 It's bull. Bullshit! And they're like, just showing rifles and stuff... Big deal! Yeah it's lame. Lame is the word I use. But Sir Patrick thank you very much for these illegal books particularly the Abby Hoffman Steal This Book which i've been looking to get a copy of for a long time and I really like that its autographed Thank you appreciate Lon Baker, Parts Unknown $100. Brent Dombrowski in Colorado Springs, Colorado 93's included a birthday thing in there. A couple of them one for himself and some for you. Ryan Holzapfel in Cedar Falls Iowa.

Really? The Eight of Diamond people are very independent at times domineering and exacting Their sense of balance is naturally directed towards values and material assets Value for value Yes they usually know when and what to buy and what it's worth Exactly

2:33:56 Eight of Diamonds are the manifestation of the creative principle, The Sun. They have the ability to overcome all obstacles and conquer all enemies.

Can you spot? Is this going to be really hard for me to spot? This is the Today Show native ad. Before we play it, I'm gonna ask you... You gotta concentrate because this is gonna be a tough one to spot. Okay well there's a big change coming to McDonald starting on October 6th! It will offer all

2:40:24 all-day breakfast. The move got final approval on Tuesday when the franchisee leadership council okayed it McDonald's began testing the idea in some markets about six months ago with things like egg McMuffins any time of the day, the company says all day breakfast is something customers have asked for four years finally you know I think we need a leadership council Finally. Who can determine what we have for breakfast? The leadership council, yes! The leadership council! Bigger to see him- The meeting will now come to order. Okay um... Uh Dvorak what you got uh Whatcha got on the uh Whatcha got on your docket there Dvorak I think we should have french fries all day Oh! Yeah! Alright alright alright Curry whatcha got?

I have it but its a C block Monday native ad Oh there it is so duh now let me set this up again This is like the four they did the c-block on Mondays on ABC generally are They can be of various sorts they can be three stories three short they're all short Three short stories in this case it was three stories uh Two of them have often been native ads. I think there may be two native ads in here, but I can't say for sure because the two stories that would be native ads are not done on any other networks. This ends with the shark story... Single network buy or maybe it's a make good? Well you play it out and tell me. One is obvious and one less so

2:42:17 To the index of other news tonight, the best and worst states for drivers. The top three Idaho Vermont and Wyoming short commutes low insurance costs and low auto theft. The worst states Louisiana and Texas because of a high number of fatalities in California of course with those very long commutes The popular ice cream Blue Bell yanked from shelves after that deadly Listeria outbreak earlier this year. Tonight, back in some stores across Texas and Alabama now, Blue Bell assuring customers that their product is now safe. Two close calls with sharks in Southern California and La Jolla... Is it shark week again? Well, I was thinking it's Shark Week. Which is already come and gone as far as i know And maybe which is a nice shot of a hammerhead flipping close to the surface. It was dynamite! Beautiful beautiful Big hammer head goes by...I mean that's that's some spectacular looking animal Now this has been big news here very big Yeah there are a lot of shark stories on all the networks so I don't think that was a Shark Week thing

2:43:16 uh... but the bluebells obviously by nobody else covered that story and the other story about the bad do with a bad places to drive texas Because it's so dangerous. It's not that's bullcrap, it's super safe in Texas well That's what they said yeah, they don't lie. Oh safe all right, but anyway So that and this is always on Monday as always the C block and it's always the David Muir And it's just okay Well while you were doing your three by three John I spent some time and I watched the MTV Video Music Awards Yes now I want to ask a couple things cuz I didn't watch him mm-hmm. I probably should have

mtv· vmas· kanye west· miley cyrus· taylor swift· marijuana

2:43:52 but I didn't and everybody says it was very disappointing that the ratings were way down. I think they're trying to kill these things. Ratings were not way down, certainly not if you look at all the networks that it airs on...I think the numbers were a little off but it was down but I would say is not way down That's what they said And I would like to share with everyone back in the day in the 80s and 90s when I was on Le Chanel The VJs were not invited to the Video Music Awards. Then they were usually out in Los Angeles, and if we wanted to go... They would give us a ticket in the audience but you had to fly yourself out and put yourself up. Really? Yep! Why?! Because they're assholes. It was the VJ's who made the network! No, assholes. There was a whole- it was the news division who produced that. And they hated us. You know, because they hated us because- Oh did you get the girls? Well there is that

2:44:50 all the ones in Alaska. So I always watch this with a little bit of disdain just because, and you've never been invited back? No that's for sure! You burned your bridge... This is one of the few examples where you can actually exemplify burning your bridges with what happened to you Well hold on they sued me after i left and then I counter-sued them then we settled so about the mtv dot com domain name That's called a burned bridge Yeah well there ya go Now, first of all I will say that I think that Miley Cyrus who hosted the show did a fine job. All she had to do is exactly what she did is change outfits every single shot and the one was nuttier than the next and she was bubbly and happy better than most morons who have hosted this thing so I like that a lot now here's the big problem I did not watch it on Sunday I watched it on Monday but had recorded

2:45:44 And Michael Jackson originally received the Video Vanguard of the Year Award. And I was, if you look on YouTube for Adam Curry Michael Jackson you'll see where we named it. It actually was named and was supposed to always be the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award that was the official name and because of that naming and giving the first one to him he agreed to perform on the Video Music Awards and give us a debut of one his videos They have now dropped that they've dropped the Michael Jackson from it Which I find to be probably a breach of contract, but also just... you know, you're pissing on Jackson's legacy. I don't like that

2:46:25 They gave it to Kanye West and Kanye, like throughout the show particularly Miley but even little vignettes throughout the show. It was all about smoking marijuana everybody had a marijuana reference that little acted bits with Miley and some rappers all about marijuana. It's all about marijuana and then Kanye West comes on this is where he announced he was running for president John for eight minutes, he's saying nothing. His mouth is open there are words coming out... There was a transcript of this and it's hilarious Then at one point he says well you know if anyone wants to know if I like smoked some Mary Jane before this yes I did yeah no shit! And because of that I didn't get the last five or six minutes of the show Oh it ran over because of this guy Because stupid Kanye

2:47:14 But I was really done at the beginning because when Nicki Minaj started, and i like Nicki Minaj. I think she's very entertaining to look at and if you have not seen the video for Anaconda do definitely need to see it. She performed that live and Taylor Swift came on but from the opening shot they had all these dudes like buff guys so he had black eyes in the back really dark almost like Somali dark And then you have white guys in the front, and I'm looking it's like they had their abs airbrushed onto their chest and their stomachs. It was airbrushed abs! Like oh my god this is so fake

2:47:53 the whole show and there was no music. Yeah, it was music but all bubblegum crap and just completely... musically the show is uninteresting it's you know nice for the kids and everything and I have one clip from Taylor Swift in her uh just to give you the level of idiocy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart I know there's been a lot of discussion about this video and what it means, but... ...I'm just happy that in 2015 we live in a world where boys can play princesses and girls can play soldiers. Thank you so much! Okay That was- that's the highlight for me right there Yeah, why don't she just dress- why don't she join the army? Now bits are video bad blood and she's like a ninja

CHAPTER 49 / 55 Discussion

Media Narrative on Police Ambush Attacks

A string of recent police killings in Illinois, Texas, and Louisiana has put law enforcement on edge. The discussion examines how media coverage and activist rhetoric may be contributing to a "perfect storm" of hostility toward officers.

2:48:48 With her, she has an implant. She got a boob job. Oh she did finally? Yeah small ones they're probably not much above A. They're cute! Well she has to be careful because she'd look ridiculous if she was got big monsters Now there's something else and this is for my D block here We are seeing If not a true wave of police officers being killed we are certainly seeing the media Discussing this and I wanted to delve into that a little. Police officers across the US have their guard up even more than usual The Fraternal Order of Police tells us ambush attacks aimed at the killing or injuring of officers

2:49:28 officers have risen dramatically in the last few years. But it's the string of killings of officers in recent weeks that really got the law enforcement community on edge. Lieutenant Joe Glinowitz gunned down while on patrol in Illinois, Texas Sheriff's Deputy Darren Goforth dies in a hail 15 bullets Louisiana state trooper Stephen Vincent shot in the head then taunted after stopping to help a stranded motorist Cold-blooded murders that add to a horrifying recent pattern. Seven law enforcement officers shot to death in a month, 24 officers shot and killed so far this year across America. Police union officials and law enforcement experts say several factors have formed the so called perfect storm hostility toward police

2:50:12 The string of police brutality cases like Eric Garner's death and the killing of Walter Scott, shot in the back by a South Carolina policeman have fanned the anger against cops. Police advocates say a saturation of media coverage has contributed to this fight and they believe civil rights groups bear some responsibility. That chant from Black Lives Matter protesters this week in Minnesota angered many in law enforcement. Police advocates say officers may be more hesitant to respond strongly to threats, like one recent case in Alabama where a detective says he didn't want to be the next cop scrutinized in the media. Didn't act by his own admission when the perpetrator pulled his way out of the car took the officer's weapon and pistol-whipped him almost to death with it

CHAPTER 50 / 55 Discussion

DHS Report on Domestic Terrorism Threats

A Department of Homeland Security-supported report surveyed law enforcement perceptions of domestic threats. The survey ranked various groups, including Islamic extremists and black nationalists, but identified a different group as the primary concern.

department of homeland security· terrorism· sovereign citizens· law enforcement· start

2:50:58 So, you'd think that maybe there's some kind of...and there is some evidence for this. There we have black groups, Black Lives Matters groups who are targeting police and there are videos out there. There's all kinds of podcasts and they're talking about killing the police, killing the police which is kinda a throwback to 60s. We're hearing very, very similar language. But there's something that is kind of sliding in and I want us all to pay attention to it and I believe it's based upon a recent report just from the six weeks ago which is a report to the Office of University Programs Science & Technology Directorate U.S Department of Homeland Security. The report titled Understanding Law Enforcement Intelligent Processes

2:51:45 And it's not a very long report. I have it marked up in the show notes at 753.noagendanotes.com Then, they did a survey through START that is the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism which is supported in part by the Science and Technology Directorate of the Department of Homeland Security. In this look at data collected and shared between SLT, which is state local and tribal LEOs law enforcement agencies. While there's some uncertainty among SLT law enforcement about current terrorism threats there are certainly

2:52:32 There's certainty that these threats evolve in a largely unpredictable pattern. As result, there is an ongoing need for consistent and effective information collection analysis and sharing." Of course we know this. Little information is known about perceptions of how information is being shared between agencies and whether technologies have improved or hurt information sharing And little is known about whether agencies think they are currently prepared for a terrorist attack the key factors distinguishing those that think they are compared to those who do not. The study was designed to address these issues and a better understanding of these issues could significantly enhance intelligence practices and enhance public safety."

2:53:09 So the rest of the document is a lot about methodology and how they came up, well actually I'll read the first line here. To develop a better understanding of perceptions about terrorist threats that SLT agencies face in their efforts to prevent terrorism research team distributed questionnaires by a web design survey which would be SurveyMonkey I guess two separate groups of law enforcement personnel so did ABE testing etc and you know all the stuff you would expect now perception of terrorist threats and they have a list here And I would like to ask you right off the bat, who do you think the SLTLEOs see? And this is on a scale of one to four. Who is the top... what group is the top threat of extremist activity and terrorism in the United States?

2:54:01 Well, extremism and terrorism in the sense that's made all the news you'd have to say islamist extremists. Well that is number two! That was not number one. Let me give you the top ten here going for actually top twelve I think millennial and doomsday cults get a 2.17 or 1 of 4 Is that one? No, that's the bottom of the list. Oh you're gonna go backwards? Backwards of course! Alright give us a number then. It's a top 10 countdown. Yeah well usually we have to do number 12. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15... That's number 16. Number 16 millennial slash doomsday cults. Number 15 idiosyncratic sectarians. Number 14 Christian identity

2:54:48 Number 13, extreme anti-immigration. Number... what am I at? 12, extreme anti tax. Number 11 black nationalists there they are number 11 not even cracking the top 10 but now cracking the top ten up from number eleven last week everybody on our Top 15 countdown Extreme Anti Abortion! Number 9? Am i number nine? Number ten Right, 10 9 8 7 6... 10. 9. Left-wing revolutionaries then comes Ku Klux Klan then comes extreme environmentalists which will be lefties then we get extreme animal rights rightists

CHAPTER 51 / 55 Discussion

Sovereign Citizens as the Top Domestic Threat

Law enforcement agencies now rank "Sovereign Citizens" as the number one domestic extremist threat. The Southern Poverty Law Center provides training materials for officers to identify these individuals through license plates and bumper stickers.

sovereign citizens· southern poverty law center· domestic terrorism· law enforcement· traffic stops

2:55:28 Neo-Nazis, racist skinheads, militia slash patriot Islamic extremist jihadists and number one topping this list up from number seven from last year everybody Sovereign citizens the number one risk now this you could not make it any more Orwellian to have some To have a term as sovereign citizens which is a citizen movement isn't a terrorist. Oh I think you are wrong, Mr. Dvorak! You are wrong

2:56:06 I went to the official, where all the news agencies go. To the group that has... what is it now? 600 million dollars they have in this non-profit The Southern Poverty Law Center. Yes! It's hundreds of millions of dollars they have this nonprofit to come up with things like this This is Chief Bod Podert of the Arkansas Police Department. I'm Bob Powter, Chief of the West Memphis Police Department My officers Bill and my son Brandon didn't realize that there are people at war with this country that are not international terrorists They're seemingly ordinary people just like you and me but they don't recognize the federal government's authority to impose laws or taxes on them They're known as sovereign citizens Their beliefs may sound so out there that they appear comical or crazy

2:57:02 But don't discount or ignore these people because they are willing to kill and be killed for these beliefs. We as law enforcement officers need to recognize this very real threat so we can protect ourselves, and maybe if Brandon and Bill had been able to recognize the warning signs of sovereign beliefs they'd be alive today So, very sad. This is a... you'll recall it was the father and son who were pulled over for traffic stop but they wound up killing the two cops one apparently which was the son of the chief of police there in Arkansas and then I look- How often does this go on? Well

2:57:41 Again, this is the number one threat and again to say... And that's not terrorism by the way. That's murder. Yes but it is now being cited as per the document as the number one domestic extremist terrorist threat Here is some examples, or actually here's an explanation from the Southern Poverty Law Center from some guy who they hired. Some retired guy. The Bloods and the Crips weren't listed although there are noob gangs now or the Hoovers... No, sovereign citizens which is... I'm just saying because they're not on the list. There was one Mexican gang under it.

2:58:20 No, no sovereign citizens. You citizen is the way I see it here's an explanation following are some indicators that you as an officer need to be aware of to protect yourself there signs that the person even counter considers himself to be a sovereign citizen who is immune from the law The first thing that any officer notices at a traffic stop is the vehicle's license plate If you try to call in many sovereign plates you'll find no record of them and for good reason they're either homemade or professionally produced fakes. They may display the names of strange nations, embassies or tribes They may refer to the Uniform Commercial Code or the Constitution. Bumper stickers are another easily visible sign of sovereign beliefs, one that reads posse comitatus which is Latin for power or force in a county means the driver believes county officials such as sheriffs are the highest level law enforcement and that the federal government and its officers don't have any legal authority." We've talked about that before right? And how do you view that?

CHAPTER 52 / 55 Discussion

UCC 1-308 and "Without Prejudice" Signatures

The concept of signing documents "without prejudice" under UCC 1-308 is discussed as a method for individuals to reserve their rights. The hosts consider the practical utility of this disclaimer in legal and contractual situations.

universal commercial code· without prejudice· legal rights· contracts· sovereign citizens

2:59:21 Oh, you know it's one of these things. There has been... I've read all the debates one way or the other and these guys are kind of uh.. I know this type of personality. They don't think that they... You know taxes.... This is the personality in a nutshell The IRS is a voluntary thing. You volunteer to pay the taxes, you don't have to pay the taxes so I don't pay tax. And usually they say because it was not ratified and therefore... Oh there's always something. Stickers such as I am an American national or not subject to corporate federal or corporate state jurisdiction are signs that the vehicle's occupants are part of the radical anti-government movement. When asked for their driver's license... That's radical! Just by having a bumper sticker your ra...

3:00:06 radical now. Social Security, socialism in America still 100% voluntary for global domination and slavery not for identification. None of this says these guys are crazy and gonna shoot you, but the UCC, the Universal Commercial Code. I've read through all of this and put a link in the show notes so that you can make up your own mind about it. But the main thing that sovereign citizens do—and I might consider doing this myself—is whenever you sign...it's just a legal thing. It's a disclaimer that I believe is okay. Let me back up for a second.

3:01:05 We're talking about, sorry you've just said I'm thinking of doing this myself. Yeah of what iIm about to say? Uh yeah okay where I just want to prepare people yes Yes I'm thinking of doing this myself when signing a contract if you sign it with the words without prejudice, which I've seen on contracts. I've never seen it. Oh! But i've seen in lots of contracts. I have never seen it. Without prejudice means that you reserve the right to not agree to things you did not understand when signing the document and that is part of the universal code 1-2... That's not a bad idea Yeah, 1-207.4 And if you look at it, its not a bad idea

3:01:52 It's not a bad idea at all. You reserve your rights, I've seen this in contracts, i've seen it on settlement documents, hello MTV? This is where I know about it uh...it's definitely worth looking into. What good what good at the and i'm going to say you're gonna get ready for it what good at the end of the day will this do you that you can't get duped into something if you signed it and didn't understand why you were signing Or if you just didn't understand it. You know, sometimes contracts are complicated if you say without prejudice means everything I understood...it's a waiver! It's a disclaimer now someone may not accept you doing that but but you should get in the habit of doing that? I think I should do the same

CHAPTER 53 / 55 Discussion

Historical Parallels to the Red Scare

The current focus on "homegrown extremists" is compared to the McCarthy era and the Red Scare of the 1950s. The discussion references historical standoffs at Ruby Ridge and Waco as foundational events for modern anti-government sentiment.

joseph mccarthy· ruby ridge· waco· sovereign citizens· red scare· history

3:02:36 And I'll give you one last blast here of what these crazy sovereign citizens are all about. So now they're taking it back to Timothy McVeigh was apparently a sovereign citizen, Never heard him say that wasn't brought up at the moment ever across the country in the 1990s good one. No, we dead Huh? He's dead. So I'll say whatever more dead people I mean this more dead people 30 TF special agent-in-charge James Cavanaugh I spent more than thirty years with the Bureau of alcohol tobacco firearms and explosives And I was there at the beginning of the so called Patriot movement

3:03:14 I watched in 1992 as the standoff between law enforcement and a white separatist, Randy Weaver in Ruby Ridge Idaho. So Randy Weaver... Well the Randy Weaver who's wife and kid and dog were all murdered? Oh yeah! And no charges were ever filed that went Randy Weaver? Oh yeah oh he was a sovereign citizen No, it was. Weaver in Ruby Ridge Idaho ended with the deaths of a federal marshal and weavers wife and son And I was there in the shootout the next year when David Koresh and one seventy of his followers Yeah, I think they all burned to death because you know by government You guys burn them today along with four ATF agents He wasn't a sovereign citizen It was a religious cult this is what I'm telling you This is what is so great lies Thank you They've got 600 million

3:03:59 dollars these liars. The sovereign citizen movement started. That's what is being said throughout the country Some were part of what is called the sovereign citizen movement They believe the government has no right to tax or impose laws on them Following law enforcement crackdown after Oklahoma City, many anti-government groups disappeared But the threat from hardcore elements of radical right continued to simmer In fact between the Oklahoma city bombing and recent West Memphis shootings

3:04:47 Approximately 30 law enforcement officers lost their lives to homegrown extremists. There you go, homegrown extremists the number one thing the cops are most worried about? And you mentioned communism there. It was interesting to me, I could not find an audio copy—maybe it didn't exist then—of Senator Joseph McCarthy when he did the famous Memphis speech and said that there are enemies within who are trying to overthrow us. There's lots of video of the hearings in the Senate where he was outing people and calling them communists...

3:05:27 a very dark mark on American history. But this could happen again because we are now you have the number for some reason these guys are the most dangerous, although we heard it appears to be Black Lives Matter people who were killing the cops that's kind of pushed over to the side no let's make it sovereign citizens Now, if I have a bumper sticker that says Posse Cometatus or if I sign my signature under a document like a parking ticket without prejudice. There's a very, very fine line between calling someone an homegrown extremist terrorist who might be one but just grabbing someone because well you know whatever. And when were the McCarthy hearings? This was 50s? We had a borderline situation during the last election where this was about to happen which you're describing

3:06:18 McCarthy era is in 1956. Probably 53, 45... And at the time it was the biggest event on television! Yeah well it was entertaining but this back to what was happening in uh last election where if you had a Rand Paul bumper sticker or not Rand... Exactly Or if you carried around a copy of The Constitution Right because it was listed You were a terrorist If you carried around a copy of The Constitution or you had Ron Paul bumper stickers Exactly Yeah, so yeah it's already happened. But now they're running... They don't know what to do with Trump. But now cops are dying you see and then instead of blaming it on something that may be just racial tensions or trumped up racial tensions It's going to be blamed on the most scary group to law enforcement is the sovereign citizens Now I find this to be abhorrent and very very dangerous Well

Margaret Sanger and the Eugenics Roots of Planned Parenthood

Archival audio of Margaret Sanger features her discussing "sin" as the act of bringing "delinquent" children into the world. The segment explores the eugenics-based origins of Planned Parenthood and its historical ties to racial philosophy.

3:07:19 Yes. Yes, exactly. I don't know what to say now there's not much you can say it's an interesting report Thank you. I try hard May not bode well. Then the only thing I have, I'd have one thing left if you got something to play us out we had a big birthday list so i want to make sure we do it on time. Yeah yeah I have the couple of things I have a 1-2 punch to play us out they're both little long but they're interesting because because we haven't really talked about Trump's or that finish with him You know were at three hours now right? Yes too long. Should we stop? We wanna do two hours and 45 minutes. But Trump can wait until Sunday can he

3:08:01 I think that's a short week. I can move these to Sunday, but they're very interesting. But then I have a short kicker 25 seconds? That's good. Yeah that'll be good kicker this is Margaret Sanger who was...I found this on the History Channel and Margaret Sanger she headed up the Eugenics Society of America she is the founder of Planned Parenthood and she asked the question about Well, just listen to her answer and you'll be able to figure it out. You believe in sin? When I say believe, I don't mean believe in committing sin Do you believe there is such a thing as sin? Well, I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world

3:08:44 that have disease from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being practically. Delinquents, prisoners all sorts of things just mark when they're born That to me is the greatest sin people can commit Now you could take this a number ways but what I heard her say is kids who are destined to be delinquent and jail-bait anyway Aka black Black yes! Get rid of them That's the biggest sin That is the genesis of Planned Parenthood. Yeah, yeah It's just good to play. It's the underlying racism that is part of the liberal philosophy it's beautiful and its universal mm-hmm That's why you know You run in these people they're the most liberal that you've ever run into and they would never Ever want to have a black person as a neighbor no just the way it is I know Okay well I'm going to be celebrating my birthday
