About this episode

Professor Jamie Pennebaker of the University of Texas at Austin joins the program to reveal how his Linguistic Inquiry Word Count software analyzes the 2016 presidential field. Using data developed for the CIA and FBI, Pennebaker identifies Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders as the most truthful candidates while labeling Donald Trump and Ben Carson as the least intelligent based on speech patterns. The analysis further predicts Marco Rubio will secure the Republican nomination due to specific linguistic markers found in his public addresses.

Global tensions rise as Egyptian and British intelligence offer conflicting reports on the crash of Metrojet Flight 9268 in the Sinai Peninsula. While official narratives focus on an ISIS-planted bomb, evidence suggests the Russian airliner may have been caught in the crossfire of the Blue Flag military exercise involving the United States and Israel. Simultaneously, UK Home Secretary Theresa May introduces the Investigatory Powers Bill, a sweeping piece of legislation requiring internet service providers to store the browsing history of all citizens for one year while legalizing government hacking of private devices.

The cultural divide deepens as a dinner party debate over white privilege and climate change adaptation turns volatile. Amidst reports of rising mortality rates among middle-aged white Americans, Hillary Clinton commits a notable gaffe by suggesting former presidents should not have to disclose criminal records under Ban the Box legislation. The program concludes with a knighting ceremony for Sir Tim Abel and a warning regarding the Dutch Hunger Winter as a historical parallel for modern economic instability.

Guy Fawkes Day, Anonymous Mask Symbolism

The hosts open the show on November 5th, reciting the traditional "Remember, remember the 5th of November" poem regarding the Gunpowder Treason. They discuss the historical failure of Guy Fawkes and how the V for Vendetta mask has been adopted by the activist group Anonymous.

guy fawkes· anonymous· v for vendetta· gunpowder plot· november 5th

00:00 Ham Radio could save your life, man. It's not just a hobby. Adam Curry. John C. DeVorah. It's Thursday November 5th 2015 time once again for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 771! This is no agenda I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley. I am faxing it in I'm John C DeVore There's something distinctly Old-fashioned about faxing it in I just just as I said that the California Zephyr went by Oh Kiyoki

00:45 I'm sure if you train bus so appreciate the fact that I can see the California Zephyr. So here it is, remember remember the 5th of November? The gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why they gunpowder trees and should ever be forgot guy don't know what she's talking about. Guy Fawkes and his companions did the scheme contrive to blow the king in Parliament all up alive! Three score barrels laid below to prove old England's overthrow, but by God's providence him they catch with a dark lantern lighting a match. A stick and a stake for King James' sake if you won't give me one I'll take two The better for me and the worse for you A rope-a rope to hang the Pope! A pen worth of cheese to choke him A pint of beer to wash it down And a jolly good fire to burn him Holla holla boys make the bells ring

01:33 Holla holla boys God save the king there you go use the yodeling technique It is guy Fox day in get my nation Fox. There's a guy of failure They're celebrating a failure it's always been peculiarly interesting to me why they celebrate that that way looks like they've sank into Mayo It's a failure you mean it's just it's like Superstition no, it's not superstitions of Dave I guess they were I can't remember the exact story mental died could look it up But they liked it was just a small revolution that they pushed back somebody for a day or two and then that was the end Of it but it was the first to May so they'd celebrate it November why do this already mayday? Well what's the big deal about that there's another one yeah

02:25 Yeah, but the Guy Fawkes thing is interesting today because of Anonymous having adopted the V for Vendetta mask which is loosely based on the Guy Fawkes story. Yes, loosely That's why it's interesting Hey! Kinda Phantom Of The Opera as Guy Fawkes Hey, It's been gone for a while Oh wait I think I have a jingle for this actually Hmm...I'd forgotten about that By the way, my theme today... I'm gonna cite my theme at the beginning of this show. Okay? Lies! Okay here's my theme for this morning It's another installment of...

CHAPTER 02 / 31 Discussion

Professor Jamie Pennebaker, Linguistic Inquiry Word Count Analysis

A dinner with "Obots" features Professor Jamie Pennebaker, author of The Secret Life of Pronouns and creator of the Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC) system. Pennebaker describes his work for intelligence agencies like the FBI and CIA, his belief that Amazon's Alexa represents true artificial intelligence, and his collaboration with Microsoft's Cortana team.

03:09 That's right everybody! Time once again for an installment of Dinner with the Obots. Oh that's right, you had dinner with the Obots a new group they had a lot of replacement actors Well not necessarily replacement actors these were actors who we've had in one of the obot dinners previously and of course the dinner was hosted by Lori Frick and her husband Mark Okay, the artist or the artists right and her husband who would never sit down with a Republican no No that's someone else you always make this mistake. I keep getting characters makes them know mark is great Mark is fantastic he's a great guy He's very quiet and then from time to time it just pipes up and says something in floors you

03:50 No, so I had met these two OBOT participants previously and we discussed one of them in great detail. This is Professor Jamie Pennebaker and his wife Ruth Pennebaker. And professor Jamie is... I love the name! Yes he is the author of The Secret Life Of Pronouns which gave us an insight into performatives. Do recall. And maybe we should just talk briefly about a performative, because that is something fun to look out for it is when someone says something that makes the second half of their statement completely irrelevant whether it's true or not such as a president could say I want to tell the American people I will not put boots on the ground in Syria so he's just saying that to the people he's not actually meaning it

04:45 How's that for a performative example? I think the examples outstanding. I think your follow up little diddy was weak. Could you help us out then? Yeah, the...I can't because I haven't been thinking about it. But I guess to use your example, the president can say or the classic thing politicians always say is, I wanna say this about that." Now wanting to say something about something is not the same as saying it. And so you know, I can say, yeah, I wanna say this about that we have to get out of this war. That's what you'd like to say but that's not what you mean.

05:25 And politicians use these little disclaimers, it's like a disclaimer. That's what I would define it as, a disclaimer. So the sentence is like a disclaimer of what you're about to say? Yeah, just as good as saying, A disclaimer! I own Microsoft stock but I'm going to talk about them anyway. People don't really care. Yes... But that does not lie. Right. It usually is a way to lie. So it was good seeing the professor and he has done a lot of improvements on his LIWC, which if you'll recall that is his linguistic inquiry word count system to program. And actually it's available they have an online version you can use we just plop in some text It analyzes that text based upon the pronouns used and pronouns are what John?

06:23 I, we, you. What are pronouns? Oh man what is this a question and answer show? You've got Google right in front of you type it in Google! Well I'm trying to explain something. Well your doing fine until I interrupted. Yeah that's true. I me he she herself you. It that they. It's like a pronoun. Now I want to ask you a question, which is what is the website address for LIWC? Okay...I will tell you right now it is... You can't leave that out! liwc dot net Oh! In fact, I pasted your most recent newsletter in there. Can you explain why nobody donated? So many negative emotions in this newsletter. You had a high score of negative emotion

07:22 Well, that's not...that just never really mattered. Let me explain! So the linguistic inquiry word count is a systemology that he has built and he can then determine personality type He can also determine intent of what someone is really saying and if they wrote this with certain emotions And right off the bat he started telling me how he was doing all this because you know..He wrote the book wasn't it? It's an older book now Been around for 5-6-7 years And he has worked for every single intelligence agency, who of course all want to analyze social media feeds. Which he has been doing. The interesting thing is that every single agency... He was rattling them off!

08:12 Of course, FBI, CIA, NSA. Every single one wants their own special projects do not want to share any of the results with any of the other agencies. There's a little insight for you with this new setup we've got where they're all supposed to share... I don't know how long ago this took place but it seemed like it was relatively recent They were supposed to share right after 9-11. This is... Oh yeah, but they're not sharing anything. Sharing was supposed to begin around 2005. Everybody has their own system and their own answer and they are using it! They're analyzing I guess to see if you're a terrorist or an al Qaeda. Now i don't know really... Don't retweet He's also of course you can imagine he's a big fan of the personal assistants that do voice recognition

09:04 He loves Alexa. He's a big, he's all in and so far in fact that at certain point during the dinner he says well you know this Amazon thing is artificial intelligence it's real artificial intelligence. I said no its not! It has a small set of things it has to listen for like weather, traffic, set a timer. Give me the news order something from you know from the shopping that's not intelligence it's just a very small set of words that have to listen to and recognize or as they call it utterances I think is what the API calls for Amazon Echo

09:45 He wouldn't even know no, this is he says this is artificial intelligence which Is an interesting point to debate so he doesn't think list analysis is uh? Well. He thinks list analysis is yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Yeah, I think that isn't it. He thinks list analysis is artificial intelligence Well, he was adamant about it and I... Adamant about it. Yeah He has been working for the Cortana team at Microsoft Which is supposed to be according to the Cortana team really good And so you know I guess with his pronoun You know his linguistic inquiry word count system. He's able to better analyze what someone is actually asking for

10:29 And he could of course, he's under NDA and you couldn't tell me anything. But when I suggested making a Gmail plug-in so A plugin where you could analyze anyone's email they send to you what their true intent was which i thought was a genius idea He said that one of the partners he's working with is do it has already made this but It's not yet been released So I don't know if it's going to be released or and I'm just going to suppose that that may be Microsoft Anyway, I wouldn't make that supposition. Well you weren't at the dinner oh Yeah, well that's true But I still wouldn't make some subsist up is it now? I look as old cuz the way because they were talking because it was during the Cortana discussion It was within context That's what you're telling me you'd given me a wink-wink nudge nudge yeah, I'm giving you a wink wink nudge nudge What would they do it?

CHAPTER 03 / 31 Discussion

LIWC Candidate Profiles, 2016 Presidential Election Predictions

Professor Pennebaker shares scientific profiles of 2016 presidential candidates based on his linguistic analysis software. The data identifies Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders as the most truthful, while Donald Trump and Ben Carson are labeled as the least intelligent. The system predicts Marco Rubio will receive the Republican nomination based on his speech patterns.

ted cruz· bernie sanders· donald trump· ben carson· marco rubio

11:21 Well, you know Microsoft is famous for doing cool stuff and never being able to launch it properly I'd say I'm not gonna argue that It's not so relevant now before the dinner and Tina the Keeper of course accompanied me. I said to her I said now You know Ruth his wife. She's all in she's all in on everything on climate change We're all gonna die Republicans are assholes Hillary is gonna win she'll be the next president Planned Parenthood, you know it was great So I said I'm gonna be really I'm really gonna take it easy because you know there's a lot of things that are in there and I was very conscious of myself because I didn't want to get triggered by some

12:08 Yeah, it was by stuff that could come up in conversation. You were self-aware and you probably weren't drinking much then? At that point no... It was the cognac that well we'll get to that in a minute. Now here's what Jamie did Professor Jamie he ran his system on all of the most recent debates and came up with profiles of the candidates. Yeah, it's fantastic! This is a no-agenda exclusive. This is an extreme exclusive. This is what people aren't paying us for. That's right...and today especially. However you just have to take this with the truth that he sees in it. And he's a professor at UT so, yeah, he runs a whole department so he's got a lab and everything so you gotta think...

12:50 And also that no one said I couldn't talk about it on the show. So here we go." Well, they made a mistake! Who are the two candidates and this could be from either of course... Right now we're only looking at Republicans and Democrats who are the two candidates who according to the LIWC system are the most truthful? Speak the truth not just they believe the truth But speaking the truth. Now, can I get a hint? Are they Democrats or Republicans? It's just two. Just pick two. Oh this is not good... Alright! I'll pick two. Mike Huckabee and Hillary Clinton Wow you got a double loser The most truthful Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders

13:40 Huh. They are speaking the truth. Doesn't surprise me! The dumbest? Oh, they have dumbest?! He has two dumb... No actually wait first Hillary because I asked specifically knows no truth when she speaks This is the analysis She speaks as if she knows that she is not speaking the truth She knows he's not speaking it Yes That is the analysis of Hillary That sounds right He's pulled out two names as the dumbest hint. How is that determined?

14:17 I, you know again it's his system so he is running it through the... So who use language that makes maybe its fair to say who use language to make them sound incredibly dumb. In fact well no who are the two dumbest according to the LIWC system and then I'll give you a hint both of Republicans surprise. Well thats because there's old It's 12 to 2 or so, 4. How many do they have? 3 now. This is a great...it is likely to be most Republicans because there are more Republicans. Yeah there's just more of them. There's more of them So the two dumbest Republicans... Umm.. This is no agenda exclusive! I'm telling you this is millions of dollars worth of University of Texas scientific work being rolled out for you right here The science is in! Alright well there's a buncha

15:09 I don't know. Maybe let me take a shot at, and if I'm right on either one of these, I have a comment. Donald Trump and Chris Christie? Donald Trump is correct. You have a comment on Donald Trump before I give you the second one? No, no, I want the second one first. The second one... And I will give you his not just name but also a descriptor. Ben Carson he says is devastatingly stupid Well, didn't I? Haven't I been saying that on the show. But he says the only thing this guy can do is brain surgery. He's devastatingly stupid on everything else. Yeah true it's likely. Okay i'm glad that one of the two was Christie or Trump but I think Carson fits right in there. This seems to me that he's coded-in

16:07 anti-East Coast establishment bias. I can't speak to that, he is both he and... He's from Texas his wife is from Oklahoma they've lived in Texas although they did live in New York for a while and she wrote for the New York Times and you know she's so that would be her bias I don't think that slipped into his work. And he's now... The natural thing if you're from the Midwest or that or the Bible Belt which is where he's Texas is included by far. You could code in an anti-East Coast bias, unwittingly you wouldn't be... It's possible it's possible I'd... And that would put Trump and that's why I'm surprised Christie wasn't the other one right at the top of the list because they talk like New Yorkers. Yeah? Possible That's probably baked into the code then somehow Who according to his

17:05 analysis will become the Republican nominee. I'm not sure how his LIWC system works this... This is a stretch! Look, now at this point there's a two glass champagne. Does the LNWC system include party based corruption that usually results in the candidate being elected who they want to be elected? Is that in there? The insinuation to me, the way I received it was that something about the way this particular candidate speaks shows that he also knows he is going to be

17:44 the Republican nominee. Jeb Bush? Incorrect Ted Cruz? Incorrect Chris Christie? Incorrect Who else, I don't know who there is That's why it was so surprising to me Okay Marco Rubio Oh yeah that's a possibility, I should have mentioned him Yeah According to the LIWC system and his extrapolation of the data Marco Rubio will receive the nomination Here's my problem with this Marco Rubio still looks like he's 14. You cannot be the president of the United States looking like you're 14, it's just not... John Kennedy was the youngest president we ever voted in He was mature

18:33 Rubio's not. We don't need to have a big discussion about why... Again, this is science! I don't know why you try and fight science? 97% of scientists at this dinner agreed. Marco Rubio did. Now Ruth is starting to pipe up and she's like well I'm voting for Hillary And, uh... That's so bigoted it's unbelievable. Well it got worse Did you ask her why? Oh of course! and I said well- Oh you did! Mmhmm. A-and this is where um

White Privilege Accusation, Dinner Party Conflict

A dinner conversation turns volatile when a host is accused of ignoring "white privilege" during a discussion about Black Lives Matter and European migrants. The host expresses frustration with the term, citing his upbringing in Europe and personal career struggles. The segment highlights the cultural divide between the hosts and the "Obot" dinner guests.

19:12 Jamie piped and said, oh by the way of course I ran all of her 50 thousand pages of emails on my system. And this is where he doubled back and said she is a liar! But it was interesting to see these people...I don't know how long they've been married you know they're both in their mid-60's and they got a beautiful marriage going on that she didn't scratch his eyes out which was about to happen to me Now, now we're in...now I'm being very calm. The whole Hillary thing like oh well it's interesting you know? Yeah you know it would be a shame if we can't find anyone better than Clinton or Bush and going very very soft then we start talking about migrants they had no clue completely oblivious to what's really happening with the migrant situation. In Europe? In Europe yes Holy mackerel! Really really almost zero knowledge

20:07 And it was that I'm not completely surprised stunning stunning, but it is yeah well Here's what and then you know then I rolled in slowly oh Yeah, I know and this isn't the alcohol visit and Laurie kept pouring cognac. This was the mistake And then, you know... That's the way to get you to talk. She knows what she is doing. You say ex-reporter? So then I roll out World War III that we're kind of in the middle of it and look at everything that is happening and Tina and I talked about for an hour after we got home. I don't know exactly how it came about but at certain point... Stop! Right now this whole thing is Lori, the artist

20:54 Amusing herself. Oh Yes, she's doing she's pouring this okay? Okay hubby we're gonna get entertained here By the way this is good cognac dynamite cognac Yeah. And I couldn't even read the label, this is how... I'm blotto now! But I'm still cool right? I'm like okay it's alright and then we both can't figure it out, it was probably something about Hillary in Black Lives Matter or Bernie and at a certain point Ruth turns to me and Jamie's almost inconsequential well you know you're just ignoring your white privilege

21:38 And I lost my shit. What? I-I lost it! What does it mean though? That... I am privileged and I need to shut up about things like Black Lives Matter, I think But I but it got once I've never been accused we've talked about the white privilege meme for a long time I've never actually been accused of that by someone saying well you're just ignoring your white privilege And I gotta tell you, I lost it. That upset you? Yes! If somebody said that to me, I think I'd laugh Well again...I had been sauced up, set up It was clearly a setup You've been put on the T for the tea ball batter

22:25 It was... I could even see Tina looking at me going like, dude. Dude, don't call me that. It was like you're a bit defensive aren't you? I didn't have... Oh, you're Cherokee sounds like from the way you drink. Well, I said Pocahontas! No, but this is bull crap. I grew up in Europe okay? There's no white privilege in Europe. Yeah it's all white. No it's not have you ever been to Europe there's you know all kinds of integrated races going back to the Moluccas, the Indonesians. This is not how was raised with any white privilege And I could just went on and on about what does right white privilege mean?

23:08 Well, and to you for that matter. Okay here's what I figured out after going back and forth because as i've been discriminated for my age have been discriminated before my hair your height my height And then everyone almost in concert they go yeah but you can't take off a black skin You can cut your hair all right okay fine well I refuse I don't accept it And it was just, it was mind boggling to me. A, that I was accused of ignoring my white privilege. And then... Well let's stop again this is fascinating for a number of different reasons and in different... Well here's what i think it was because because I was hammering on you know they didn't know about the migrants they didn't really understand what's happening with uh with the pipelines with you know with Syria and with Iran and Russia and how it all fits in and how we really want to and I think that they there was like a go-to thing

24:09 Because it's, you know when you're white and someone says white pre- it's how do you argue? I'm clearly white. And then everything came to the table. Driving while black. All of this stuff. Well geez Louise what do you want me to say? Now what does this got to do with Hillary?! Hillary's, it was because of her... Hillary is a lying phony. I don't see her having any sympathy for blacks She looks like she talks a good game That's the whole point! I think she was always jealous that Bill could actually go to a black church and communicate Because Bill is you know that way Right right He's the communicator And she's not Now I'm not saying Jamie is all in on Hilary But I didn't get that impression actually So he says she's gonna vote for him No that's Ruth

24:56 James Ruth is the wife. Jamie is the professor, the husband. Oh I'm sorry Jamie yeah no because Jamie's a cross gender name. Yeah I gotcha I got you. Okay Ruth... No I am not talking about Jamie I'm talking about I'm not talking about any of them, actually. But that one...I think that's why I got put in my place because it went to Black Lives Matter and who was behind these groups just to shut me up it felt like well Woody you don't know you can't speak about this. That side of the...that's the way they play baseball on that side of track It was a pile-on! It was like the quarterback got... Two strikes and your out No, the quarterback got sacked and like the fridge jumped on me. It was nuts but I was crushed

25:43 You should throw a yellow flag. Now there's a great thing to do with it, bring a yellow... Those flags by the way that made of silk they fit right in your back pocket. Just throw some laundry on the table. Pull it, pull the flag and toss it in the air! Here is what you need, a yellow handkerchief that's made out of silk and tie a little heavy weight on one corner. But we've talked about this white privilege meme a lot And it never really hit home until someone actually stood there in my face and accused me of ignoring my white privilege. I busted my ass to be where I am today, a podcaster! You're starving to death. Go podcasting!! Yeah, busted my ass... And he was like hey can people take off their fat? Can people take off their gay? Come on! You have straight privilege. Anyway when you got- Let me summarize

CHAPTER 05 / 31 Discussion

Climate Change Adaptation, Cancer Attitude Dispute

The dinner party conflict continues with a disagreement over global warming, where Professor Pennebaker suggests humans will simply adapt to rising temperatures. A second argument erupts when a host suggests that a positive attitude helps in beating cancer, which deeply offends a guest who recently survived breast cancer.

global warming· adaptation· breast cancer· attitude· social etiquette

26:42 It rubbed you the wrong way. I would say so, but it went nuts and then we all drank some more and then I just know... But here comes the line of the night! So then global warming came up now at this point now i think Tina is she's now pinching my leg like... But you can't feel it because your hammered But here's the great thing. So it was Ruth and Jamie, then Ruth is going to go, we're all gonna die but that we did these stupid Republicans are not. And I'm just gonna get warm and Jamie turns to one says yeah it's gonna get warmer you'll adapt. I have to say one of my favorite lines You look apt? You'll adapt Oh your a dillard. You'll adapt

27:31 Yeah, a couple degrees warmer you'll adapt. So that was nice to hear the scientist being somewhat... But that's even sketchy. Ugh! So I ensured that uh... You've ruined it for everybody? No, I said i'll host the next one in my place for sure yeah and anyway sent an email out to everyone saying hey thanks it was great I'm really happy that we can all you know, have a conversation without... Without somebody calling me a white prick. Well listen to this! Without ridicule and then Jamie replied saying whoa there definitely was some ridicule going on but it was nice we'll see the next one so I ran his email through his own software and sent it back to him and said hey you got a 5.0 negative emotion 0.0 positive emotion on your e-mail

28:23 Which he replied, very slick. And that was it. Hopefully there will be a follow up on that. Well he didn't want to... He's dealing with having to defend his wife who is apparently from the sounds of it an hysterical woman And the very end... Being criticized by some... No, here's the very end as we're about to leave. Now and Ruth had horrible breast cancer like on the verge of death really really shitty time and so at the very end there somehow cancer comes up I listen I didn't bring it

29:03 And then I said, you know someone who would beat it and maybe was about her. And I said, Naz, You know, I think it's all about attitude really and she freaks on me. I'm so tired of that fucking bullshit about attitude has nothing to do with attitude! And I thought well look at yourself. Oh God... And that was That was shitty because you just say, I guess I insulted her. Well, I clearly insulted her. You clearly insulted her which is probably why Jamie gave you the nasty note that wasn't insult and she took offense to that kind of thing. But i didn't mean it as an insult! We really hear a lot of in places like Texas where we have all these religious people It wasn't opinion but she just went off saying

29:54 Absolutely untrue. Your attitude has nothing to do whether you get cancer or beat cancer. Reacting to that, you know...you would want to call it an opinion. I think it was a commentary but reacting to that in a very negative way sounds like a bad attitude to me but that's... Yeah my point exactly and I think she didn't really remember me that well because at some point during the dinner she said..she looked at me and went oh yeah you're the conspiracy guy yes all coming back to me now

30:31 When's the last time you saw him? A couple years ago. Oh, shouldn't take that long. Two years ago now. You're the conspiracy guy! I said excuse me i'd prefer to refer to myself as a podcaster. Alrighty then... Well, this is a sounds like anyone who is all in on Hillary Despite her husband showing that she's just an out-and-out liar. Yeah She has it has a lot of issues with Cognitive cognitive dissident dissonance where you're you have contradictory Thoughts and the brain at the same time which kind of confuse you because you can't straighten yourself out You can't see the world in a sense in a way that makes sense

31:15 So your brain just short-sighted. It's strange. Yeah, well I can't... it's very possible but they're both lovely people that I love how they are together the if you want to look at a married couple who seem to really love each other and have been through the trenches is a perfect example i enjoy very much listening to this but I really got my nuts stomped on a bit and was surprising that My reaction, I was surprised by my... now again, I was soft but my reaction was severe for my... What it sounds like to me which if i was doing analyze the night

31:56 There was a number of things that were being brought up in the discussion that were creating tension within your worldview. My worldview? Yes, yours. Oh yeah and I knew it was going to happen! Because it was like wait a minute...I should say something here..wait a minute....this is why people out there who are the no agenda thinkers... Don't bother Either don't bother or just be a grouch. Yeah So you say one thing is building up its building up It's building up because you know I should say something here all I should say so that's not right They they don't even know about this, or they don't even know about that how can they make these judgments? Yeah when there yeah, that's ignorant. They don't know this they don't know this let me pound a few down and boom Now most importantly

CHAPTER 06 / 31 Discussion

Tiny Houses, McDonald Observatory Visit

The hosts discuss the "tiny house" movement, linking it to Agenda 21 and digital asset trends among younger generations. Plans are announced for a trip to Marfa, Texas, to visit the McDonald Observatory for a private telescope viewing. The segment concludes with a humorous anecdote about riding a hoverboard while intoxicated.

32:44 Blory made a dynamite corned beef dinner, which okay. It was really good I'm gonna get her recipe it was kick-ass all right well get her recipe yeah That was really oh then Laurie did try to get the conversation going as one point She said have you heard about people moving into tiny houses and my here's how my brain goes Oh man, Agenda 21. Agenda 2030. Oh no! Shut up Curry! Why do young people want to live in small houses? Well you know there's lots of reasons it's kind of what we're being pushed towards it's kind of what everybody wants so we can be slaves and little slave huts

33:28 And luckily Tina came to the rescue. We have TV shows about this too!

Kentucky Elections, Middle Class Dream Rhetoric

The hosts play a clip of Kentucky House Speaker Greg Stumbo discussing the "middle-class dream" and referencing Barack Obama. They analyze the shift in political rhetoric from the "American Dream" to simply "getting by" as a member of the middle class.

36:20 the MacBook Air and someone said, hey why don't you get one of these 250 gigabyte cards that fits right into the slot on the right which was a genius solution. So now I went from 250 gigs to half a terabyte and i was able to restore clips going back to 2010 into the searchable archive which is pretty cool And with that I found the clip that we were talking about on the previous show.

37:12 That's the dream each of us has for ourselves and our families. And so long as I have the privilege of serving as president, I'll keep fighting to put that dream within reach of all Americans. Have a great weekend everybody! The American Dream everybody! Yeah that is one of the greatest clips we've ever promoted Now that is from 2011 and... That's the getting by clip? That is the getting by clip and now you will be able to find it We of course we had a lot of local elections the past couple days. As an aside, I want to say thank you very much Austin for voting down the $287 million bond to build a courthouse right in front of my building. Thank you! Perfect narrow margin 51-49 thousand vote difference

38:00 I'm happy about that. But in Kentucky, they also had some elections and here is Kentucky House Speaker Greg Stumboe and he picks up on the president's just getting by meme in a peculiar way. Back home be safe and believe... You belong to the greatest political party that the world has ever seen! You belong to the party of Jefferson and Jackson and Clinton and Kennedy and yes Obama and no I don't agree with I agree with everything that he does, but i'm gonna tell you something. I believe in the core values that he represents The core values that he represents is the belief of? Bringing...the middle class dream to every American The middle-class dream of every American John. The dream is to be middle class Middle class dream and it gets better! Now..I believe That there's a horse out there Not American Pharaoh

38:57 It's an Arkansas traveler. A horse? And that horse is bringing a lady jockey and that horse, and that jockey are going to come here to Kentucky next year and help us rebuild this party! Thank you and God bless everyone out there! Woooo the Horse from Arkansas! Just getting by in the country That's right just getting by Well thats the guy who lost I believe I don't know. But guy said that he's Kentucky, that's a Kentucky guy right? Yeah yeah he was the guy who lost and he was beaten by a Republican and he was running for governor if it's not something of the right guy but more importantly than him in his nuttiness which sounds like a lunatic was they discussed this... He was supposed to win

CHAPTER 08 / 31 Discussion

Polling Inaccuracy, Media Revenue Incentives

Following Matt Bevin's unexpected victory in Kentucky, the hosts critique the inaccuracy of political polling. They argue that media companies like CNN and the New York Times subsidize polls to create the illusion of a "neck-and-neck" race to drive higher advertising revenue and viewer engagement.

polling· pbs newshour· matt bevin· media bias· advertising

39:48 But it was neck and neck. And then at the end he was ahead, he was gonna win... So there's a little discussion of this on PBS NewsHour because it fell right into my wheelhouse. Wait wait wait! That's not 3x3 is it? No this is a PBS News Hour. So, fell within my wheelhouse which is that the polling in this country is rigged to benefit the media companies. Kentucky polls is the clip. Hold on a second... Roger still the Republicans or conservative causes had gains on issues. They had gains on candidates Let's start in Kentucky how did Matt Bevin confound the polls? Well when you're right almost all the pollsters got it wrong and there are a number of possible explanations

40:37 To some extent, they always had Jack Conway the Democrat running in the mid-40s but with a 2 to 5 point lead. He ended up losing but he also got in the mid 40's just as what they predicted so it could have been that undecided voters swung dramatically to the Republican. On the other hand I think its more likely that was the late break in cultural issues social issues like Planned Parenthood and funding has you know thats been a big issue same sex marriage religious liberty Planned Parenthood, same-sex marriage, religious liberty. Yeah! Last minute changes. That was all until that... In other words these Republicans and the independents they had no thoughts on planned parenthood or religious liberty for that matter and they changed their mind at the last very last second as they had to know it was another phony poll

41:29 Yeah, well no one brings this up. These are polls designed... half the polls are subsidized by the network CBS New York Times poll for example these sorts of polls these are media polls The media's got their name on half of those polls yeah it's always like Time CNN Yeah, the CNN poll. These polls are designed for one thing to bring in bigger advertising dollars... To make it a close neck-on-neck race. Neck and neck. And usually if one side's not coughing up, pointing up enough money... Then you go down in the polls! You go way down on the polls and the other side is running away with it! Beautiful. Did you see this? We'd already seen one campaign from this group

Deport Racism Campaign, Donald Trump SNL Protest

A viral video featuring Latino children using profanity against Donald Trump is analyzed as a potential "dirty trick." While the "Deport Racism" group offers $5,000 to disrupt Trump's Saturday Night Live appearance, the hosts suggest the campaign's code points to Hillary Clinton's super PAC or could even be a Republican-led effort to make the opposition look bad.

42:15 that were selling t-shirts. This is the deport racism 2016 clip that has just by its imbecility gone viral, did you see this at all about Trump? No I did not So do you recall the kids who are saying about feminism Nah, you probably don't remember. Listen this is a video and it's a bunch of kids It's Hispanic kids who are railing on Donald Trump Hola Donald Trump! Screaming get out of my country Republicans use offensive words So here's a few of our own Fuck You Racist Fuck! Wait it gets better that's just the opening Latino Kids born in me We've got something to say I'm Rosa I'm Rika Friendscom Keep calling me anchor

43:08 Wow, racist say Mexican immigrant. You know it's racist cause for words like... Specs and be nerds? And you have a tattoo for speaking Mexican in this nation? Um, it's Spanish idiota! Maybe I'll write in more education?! Maybe a little less hairspray and more education? Millions of working Latinos would be the poorest if you get your lawful way pendejos! You're in the white house! You love me but

43:45 Yo Trump, you may be high on the toes Thanks to patriotic racist suckers But your all going to have to come for me If you try to report my abuelita mother fucker You see that I'm- Your favorite word Constitution makes me a citizen And you hate that because im brown Say your a patriot? But you care The bell of rights I'm an American. So here they're saying that now they are claiming the Bill of Rights gives them the right to be what Trump would call an anchor baby. Born in the USA! This is my home You can't take my rights away If you don't like our constitution and what it stands for, get back

44:27 Out of my country. Can you believe that? Can you believe this yeah, I can believe that it's a dirty trick This is this isn't so phony as outrageous wait until you hear the deconstruction of it This is what's cool. Fuck you racist fuck! I'm gonna keep that one It's a good drop so deport racism 2016 Rob so this is The group is offering $5,000 to anyone who disrupts NBC's broadcast of Saturday Night Live when Trump hosts it. That's this coming Saturday So let's look at this group DeportRacism.com They link... ...to Bernie Sanders when it comes to immigration However and I think this came from 4chan? Someone looked in the code Of the website

45:13 And in the code of the website, there's some JavaScript that may have just been a cut and paste still there. But it clearly points to twitter.com slash status Hillary join the Hillary 2016 campaign White House It has on click targets for Hillary for first lady 2016 dot tumblr dot com In other words This campaign was created with Hillary super PAC money and there But they're letting Bernie take the fall for it. I don't believe a word of any of anything You just said of the code The code part is that that could be dropped in by anybody well all JavaScript stuff is cut-and-paste anyway, then all Everyone who codes JavaScript knows? That's what you do but I think the whole thing is done by the Republicans and

46:11 And that would be even better. I'm going to agree with you right now, that would be even better to implicate both of them! Yeah. I'm all in. I'm all in. Because this is too off the rails to be done by any sensible person But if you can make it look as if it was done by Bernie or Hillary and have it launched on 4chan and have a Which is what we do because it's gone Get the people to protest against Trump going on Saturday night live And all you do is you show that would what this shows I mean the messaging here You have to look at the messaging don't look at what they're actually saying but the messaging is

46:55 These kids are rude. They shouldn't be in this country, they're profane, they're jerk-offs." They're talking about the Bill of Rights when in fact that's an amendment that they should be discussing? John, I'm all in with your analysis. I think you're absolutely right. It makes nothing but sense. Yeah it does. It's a dirty trick. It is a good one. And a good one! Like it and if anything it will increase the ratings in fact Trump almost said this on a couple of Occasions that he expects that the any kind of protests that takes place Will increase the ratings of The Saturday Night Live shores, of course it will be on and they'll just boost the ratings He's really good at this. I think Trump's probably behind it fantastic Yeah only on no agenda people Only on that was analysis in real time good one. I like it

CHAPTER 11 / 31 Discussion

Australian Knighthoods, The Hunger Winter

Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announces the removal of knights and dames from the Order of Australia. The hosts discuss adopting these titles for their own listeners and introduce the concept of the "Hunger Winter," referencing the Dutch famine of 1945 as a precursor for future economic hardship.

australia· malcolm turnbull· knighthoods· hunger winter· netherlands

54:07 And yes, I use the phony Australian accent. The title that's meant to honour Australians for their public service by bestowing someone with a knighthood and medieval practice is out of date and irrelevant according to Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull who has decided to scrap it Her Majesty has agreed to amend the letters patent which are essentially the rules of the Order of Australia and this reflects modern Australia Knights and dames are are titles that are really anachronistic in, they're out of date. They're not appropriate in 2015." And I think this is the perfect time for us to pick up the slack and... Especially with the Australians! Yes, and I believe that we should seriously consider some special donation awards for receiving a sash A No Agenda Sash

55:01 Because the gaping hole is obvious. This is going to go away everywhere, we will be the only people left who uphold the true honor of our peerage. Yes! And when all is said and done after this current war is fought and the Middle East is rubble-ized and everyone you know... The hunger winter sets in, you'll be happy you have protectorates And you'll be happy. The Hunger Winter, that's a good name for what is going to happen and maybe then your Hillary fan there that you had dinner with the other day will get a clue and find out what is going on. The Hunger Winter? The Hunger Winter! That's I think we just named it. The Hunger Winter Well honestly that is taken from World War II Recycling old stuff isn't it? The Netherlands went through the Hunger Winter

55:55 In 1945. Would it be insulting to the Dutch to use it again? I mean, this is... I think they'd be tickled pink. Okay good. Hey we remember that! We remember that! I remember tickled pink And you know what people ate in the hunger winter? What? Nettle soup They ate stone soup. Stone? Yeah, you make a soup out of it... You put rocks, stones into the water and you boil it I've heard about that. Make a soup out of it And Wow Patricia's dad who is still alive He would sometimes bicycle 100 kilometers each way on wooden wheels to get a sugar beet One sugar beet

56:44 And that's what they ate. So there is enough historical precedence everybody for the hunger winter coming in 2017, the hunger winter Get your sugar beets now! So we have one loan. We should be selling seeds, we have one lone executive producer, associate executive producer he's actually an associate executive producer but it gets bumped up this is Eric Berg who came in late with $210 and 12 cents from Mason City Iowa and he is our only executive producer for this show a 7-7-1

Unclaimed Property, Support for the Show

Executive Producer Eric Berg donates $210.12 after discovering unclaimed insurance money held by the state of Minnesota. The hosts discuss the difficulties of reclaiming funds from state governments and read a humorous note from Berg regarding his wife's refusal to listen to the show's donation segments.

And its in the state of New York Wow That's insane And its sitting there now and I can't get it And I have other instances of this Then I have instances where once in awhile somebody says Oh look we found your money This is bull crap why don't these guys just keep the money I don't understand why the credit union would give them money to stay when it's sitting there. It has to be doing them some good, maybe after 25 years if i don't pick it up. Well there must be some law or some regulation? There is a law right you can't... this happened-I almost lost some stock recently from uh... Was it was an uber stock? Yeah. Facebook stock! Two cows

59:11 Two cows. This is a strange story because I don't even know how it got here That's a good story, I like the two cows story that's great You have some two cows and they send me a note saying if you don't send your proxy statement in or something we haven't heard from you for 2 years We're sending this stock to the government Do you know why you didn't do anything? White privilege my friend Yeah, well the right white privilege definitely has a negative impact on your bottom line. So this is bullcrap but this is what happened to Eric Berg. I love you Chuck. The Minnesota nuts were good enough to hold onto an insurance refund that I didn't know I had for over eight years after I'd moved to Iowa

59:52 Trying to figure out what to do with the found money was something difficult hookers and blow or support this BP best podcast in the universe you guys won wait a minute So it was between hookers and blow or supporting the show hey made another one good guy here Well, it's a tough choice. But he did say this time appreciated on a more serious note I hit my wife in the mouth on her maternity leave A few months ago she now listens to every episode and has listened to quite a few from the back catalog eyes but not only has she not donated She says she skips the donation segments Oh No

1:00:30 I feel terrible but i must therefore have my wife, Abby Berg called out in public as a douchebag. Shut up slave tooted the head oh look at that juice thanks Eric. You see that juice? You've got karma. Great! And as the highest donor above 200 bucks, he becomes an executive producer for Show 771. A quick PR mention thanks to Producer Tim we have a couple of domains we haven't had domain forwards for awhile and we did stop because it just became a little overbearing but I do like email Hillary dot com email Clintons dot com and email Clinton dot com Email Hillary dot com i think is the best

Mighty Men of Valor, Neuro-Linguistic Programming

The hosts deconstruct a clip of former Navy SEAL Chad Williams using the phrase "mighty men of valor." A listener analysis suggests this is neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) designed to garner Christian support for military action in Syria by using biblical terminology from the books of Judges and Chronicles.

1:01:18 If you type that in it goes to noagendershow.com Gotta love it! There you go, thats how we roll Thank you very much Art to our sole executive producer That is uh... Oh oh and I forgot to thank our artists actually I want to say in the morning to Nick The Rat and everyone else who submits the art at noagendaartgenerator.com Great art from Nick and this was for episode 770, Mighty Men of Valor. And it was a picture of Joe Biden drawing a map on ripping up or tearing Iraq into three different states. And someone sent me a note about that because this was from the...what was the clip we were playing about? Mighty men of valor

1:02:10 I don't remember, but it was funny. I know that. Hold on a second. I want to play it because I got a pretty cool email about it It was mighty men. I think right what is that? Was on the previous episode That was on... let me just find it I think it was the last episode. Yeah, but how come i can't find it? You probably have a name funny yeah why would i have a name funny hey you're talking to the wrong guy and there was anyway it was so it was uh it was resistant it could be resistance fighters mighty men of valor righteous those words keywords could be their kurds i don't think it was labeled with valour at all but anyway let me read the email to you

1:02:57 Uh, here it is. I'm really bungling this one Okay! I'm gonna have to- That's it? I think we'll do that for Sunday Bailing on it Now I can't find anything Oh wait wait Here it is I got it Yes mighty men of valor This could explain the shortfall Yeah yeah I'm sure thats what it is Ah screw it It stopped again Make up your mind! I don't understand why I can't find it I had it all queued up Make up your mind! This is crazy. Oh man... Alright, okay. Yeah sorry Now you're gonna obsess the show's ruined No I'm going to stop obsessing about it but i will have on Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday

1:03:47 Thank you again to our one executive producer who nabbed that spot with an associate executive producer donation, Eric Berg. Thank you! Of course we have another show on Sunday in which I will present to you the mighty men of valor etymology. Dvorak dot org slash N A Please always be out there especially for your wife propagating the formula Our formula is this We go out and hit people in the mouth Order! Shut up, slave. Shut up, slave. While we were discussing the presidential stuff... You don't want to hear the Mighty Men of Vala? Because I found it Oh you found it? Yeah Here we go Okay yes This was Chad Williams That's what is was Uh..Chad Williams Former Navy SEAL That was the guy who was all crazy about attacking About the uh Train Equip and Assist

1:04:50 Yeah, I think that it's a great call. You know the head of our enemy the snake It's in Syria and so we need to go over there and put a foot To that head and I guarantee you none okay? So we start with that now this is from Danny Haynes about And he says, on NoahGenis770 I heard several Bible phrases from your clip of Chad Williams. Their use indicates that Mr. Williams may be using neuro-linguistic programming to gather support for US military action amongst Christians by associating US military forces with God's chosen leaders and ultimately Savior Jesus." So what we just heard right there a heel to the head of the snake

1:05:30 The head of our enemy, the snake is in Syria so we need to go over there and put a foot to that head. That's what we heard. Our guys are operating in special operations community In chapter 3 of Genesis after the fall God outlined sins conquests consequences to the serpent Eve and Adam. In Genesis 315, God said to the serpent quote I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring in her offspring he shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel Christians understand this is a very early reference to Jesus being born into the world through a woman to crush Satan So the bruising your heel by stepping on the head of the snake. We continue. Our guys in the special operations community are walking around with their tail between their legs, they're very hungry to get over there I'm sure they're saying thank you sir may i have another? There's a thousand other special operators that are just hoping that the chains will be cut and they could be sent over there to help advise and assist and put a heel uh... to the head of that snake in Syria Alright so our Special Forces

1:06:31 Mighty men, they're ready to roll over there. Let me ask you about the language You know that the notion of advise and assist versus combat to you is there a difference? It is a combat role but it's not going to be American forces on the very front in the spotlight We're gonna be working a little bit more in the shadows we're there in case these guys get into a situation where we need a little Bit of backup were there to assist them That's the assistance part of these advice and assist operations but primarily it's going to be led by these resistance fighters and we're there just to support them, advise them and teach them how to take the fight to the enemy. Against a very fierce enemy I mean ISIS is evil let's not forget the beheadings burning of the Jordanian pilot and so many others burying these children so our mighty men are valued

1:07:16 are going over there for a righteous cause. Our mighty men of valor are going over there for a righteous cause and this came back again today in chapter 6 of the book of Judges verse 12 an angel of the Lord says to Gideon, The Lord is with you O mighty man of Valor Gideon was a judge or leader of Israel at the time before it had kings and then went on to destroy the altars of the false god Baal, then defeat the Midianites in battle. Later in 1 Chronicles King David's army is backed with mighty men of valor. Chapter 12 of 1 Chronicles verse 21-22

1:07:55 They helped David against the band of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and were commanders in the army. For from day to day men came to David to help him until there was a great army like an army of God." And that fits in perfectly with Ash Carter's most recent appearance at an Army base I won't play the whole thing, but we'll get to the point where he's asked a question. Good afternoon. Um, I'm Airman First Class Wilcox from the 354th Operations Group at Allison Air Force Base. What are your concerns in the next two or three years for the world? Like what are the concerns over the next few years for the world which really means for us in the world? I wish I could give you a short list unfortunately it's not a short list so

1:08:46 Sorry about that, but that just shows the importance of what you do. So I'll just start... We've got to beat ISIL! We're going to beat ISIL these guys are evil and they're we are as i said the noble and they are the evil Oh my god, this guy's got a goal. We are the noble... He can't even remember his script! If you listen to the whole thing he is just bumbling on forever. He is still worse this guy but there's a point- But if you're going to play that game, the neurolinguistic programming game and your gonna run this particular script You gotta have a guy who could say something decent up there. This fellow would've handled it. I like the analysis of these mighty men of valor and their evil and we're good.

Boots on the Ground, White House Policy Shifts

President Obama and spokesperson John Kirby are scrutinized for their changing definitions of "boots on the ground" in Syria. The hosts highlight the semantic gymnastics used to claim that deploying Special Operations forces does not constitute a change in the policy against large-scale ground combat.

barack obama· lester holt· john kirby· syria· special ops

1:09:38 Yeah. You gotta do something. You got to pull everything out, especially now! I mean we were promised that we're not going to have boots on the ground and they come out and la- well kinda didn't really make it. Now everybody's backing off on it. We've got plenty of clips but you've got Obama backing up... Well we always kind of had that. It was more of the same play. I have a couple of ones actually. Here is Okay, well first we have Lester Holt who replaced Brian Williams on Ambush United News and he had a little chat with the president. Many will look at him and say you've broken your promise about boots on the ground. Have you? Well keep in mind that we have run special ops

1:10:28 Already and really this is just an extension of what we were Continuing to do. We are not putting the US troops on the front lines fighting Yeah, fights with us but I've been consistent throughout Oh yeah that we are not going to be fighting like we did in Iraq lies Why he lied then? We had spokeshole Kirby at the way wait before you go on Have you seen his, his, his henchwoman? Yes! I have a clip from her. A true joke She is the worst. Well yeah i have the hotel clip because that's what it says on package Let's do Kirby first Don't play the Hotel Clip I don't think I have the Hotel Clip Okay go Here's Kirby

1:11:13 uh... weaseling himself about the boots on the ground to change in policy right so you've been your previous house he did not encompass putting boots on the ground in syria wait a minute your current strategy is outlined by the white house does include putting boots on the ground in Syria, but there's no change in policy there? The policy was that we weren't going to engage in large ground combat operations. Large scale offensive ground co-operations against ISIL and that is still not going to occur. But the policy was you didn't have boots on the ground. That was a policy decision. That President could've put boots on the ground he didn't. I don't know if he ever ruled it out

1:11:52 Just because you don't work something out doesn't mean that it's a policy. Well, look I'll defer to my colleagues at the White House to speak to presidential policy here. Yeah... Okay! Then we have two clips of this woman who i'd not seen before her name is Elizabeth Trudeau Her full name Is Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau Now, she's not related to the new Prime Minister of Canada but is she related to the Kennedys somehow? I never thought this. She obviously is! That's why she looks disheveled. She's a wreck this woman and she's a real bad liar. Well we need some help... And she's more arrogant than anybody I've ever seen Okay so I have two clips from her just to get you started then you can roll into the hotel clip So first is

Elizabeth Trudeau, Russian Hospital Bombing Allegations

State Department spokesperson Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau is criticized for her handling of questions regarding Russian airstrikes in Syria. The hosts review a report from RT (Russia Today) that uses satellite imagery to challenge U.S. claims that Russia bombed a hospital in Sarmin, suggesting the U.S. is relying on biased NGO data.

elizabeth trudeau· russia· syria· hospitals· state department

1:12:36 So I think the Free Syrian Army has been invited to go speak with Putin and the top brass in Moscow. And Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau's mission clearly is to tell everyone this is premature, I will point this out as we roll along. Russian actions so far in Syria have been to prop up the regime The Russians will hold a meeting between the regime and the opposition Are you aware of this meeting? And what do you think about it We believe there's a time and place for everything. There will be a time and place when the opposition groups will be represented, we just don't think that they're yet, we think it is premature. This is not... this isn't meeting with the Russians? No, no, we think its premature. You think the Russian should not invite Syrians to

1:13:27 We think that it is premature to have that meeting. We think there's a place for the Syrian opposition, and its time... Now mind you the Syrian opposition is rebels trained by on one hand CIA and on the other hand Department of Defense. ...to gather together to have those conversations we think its premature now Can I just ask why is any of your business? Why do you oppose Russia inviting Syrian opposition figures to a meeting? Because it's our guys, that's why. in Moscow, in Russia. Why? We think it's premature before the Vienna group meets again but we do think it's premature to have those conversations when the post-Vienna work is still going on It's premature I think is her message She says conversation with your stupid voice of saying... Conversation! It's premature to have this conversation Yes a conversations very obvious

1:14:20 Then we have the hot Russian girl again. What's her name? Because I couldn't find her name, but you can never remember a name But that's the one I'm talking about yes. Yes, but what the hospitals oh, I'm sorry yes I do have that clip. Oh, I have a bit. I have the whole thing I have the whole thing dude where'd you get the whole thing from the From the video dot state gov That's well you got that you got that I have no presentation done by RT and And that's why, because it has background. Okay hold on let's play it now what is it? Okay this is Russians targeting hospitals first I have to set it up because there was...I didn't cut everything so there was a setup they talked about the lead guy this is the headline news show and they lead guy says the United States has accused Russia of bombing hospitals and of course the only reason they'd be doing this

1:15:08 is because we bomb the crap and we have a documented bombing of Doctors Without Borders Hospital. We've talked about it on the show. Two, not just... Afghanistan as well but okay. The main one where they're making a huge fuss about this and it's very embarrassing to the United States so we gotta do something We just made up a story. It's a total lie and she has, she's the one on it and she is also the press correspondent at Washington. And I love how Matt jumps in and comes to her aid which we need to find out her name so that we can change the jingle because this is a new romance! I feel something coming on here...I feel Matt in this Russian shirt She's pretty happily married but uh How do you know? Its in her wiki Sooo

1:15:54 I don't think Matt's a dog. Okay, listen. I really don't you're on those trips in the back of you know the carries plane It's annoying you got nothing to eat yet to sleep sitting up You're all hanging out you go places hey Let's have a drink at the bar before you know bingo boom shakalaka. I think somebody's talking Their experiences anyway hit this Guy and H. You can went to our state department simply put where are they getting their information from there is her name some Some accuse Russia of hitting six hospitals in Syria. Others accuse it of hitting just one. Many media outlets ran with the story, but no one could independently verify the claims. Many there say were Russian or regime airstrikes. Aid workers are out and say run! The plane is coming back! One strike and then another to catch the first responders. That time all the people were gathered and it shot two missiles again.

1:16:55 By the way, now this is a...she took that from somebody's report. Some bogus report and so she ran it. You might want to back up a little bit. But the concept of coming back to blow up the first responders what country does that? Well, that's only the terrorists who do double taps No, it's our drone operators. We do that all the time! I've never heard of anyone doing this until i heard about us doing at the United States. We blow something up and then whoever shows up we figure they're bad guys too and we blow them out five minutes later. That's called enemy killed in action

1:17:39 So now they're kind of projecting this onto the Russians. Oh, here comes the jets are going to blow up the first responders This is such a lie! This is a perfect example of what you say about yourself but your head goes through your head What you say...what you say is what you are What you accuse people of is what you are yourself And here we go. At that time, all the people were gathered and it shot two missiles again. The reports primarily cite a US-based NGO called Syrian American Medical Society which published this photo of the hospital allegedly destroyed by Russia in the town of Sarmin. Russia's defense ministry says whatever it is, it's not the hospital in Sarmin and releases aerial images of what it says as the hospital in Sarmin. The building on this image dated

1:18:27 dated October 31st, does not look like it was recently bombed. How can we tell if it's the hospital in Sarmin? A year ago a video was posted on YouTube that shows the hospital under construction Here is a screenshot from that year old video and here is the Russian Defense Ministry's aerial image of what it says as the hospital We see a similar dome shaped structure next to the building On both images, we see a wall or fence positioned in similar way. So where exactly is the hospital that Russia is accused of hitting? Last week, the U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby dropped the bombshell saying the US had quote-unquote operational intelligence that Russia had hit a hospital

1:19:13 in Syria. We've seen some information that would lead us to believe that Russia, Russian military aircraft did hit a hospital this Monday I went to ask what hospital did Mr. Kirby mean? Can you really offer no details on the hospital that the US accuses Russia of hitting We're going to stand by Mr. Kirby's words You're not even going to say where it is, that hospital that you are saying Russia hit? What we are saying is that we have seen information that Russia is targeting civilian infrastructure and he spoke about it He would point you to the Syrian NGOs on the ground as well as open source reporting on that

1:19:54 Open source reporting on that. Oh, was that Bellingcat? What is that open source reporting? That's I call bullcrap on that word. Oh yeah! Open source reporting Yeah. Syrian NGOs on the ground, as well as open source reporting on that. He spoke about a specific hospital in Syria where exactly is it? What details can you offer about that hospital again I'm not going to get into this sort of detail of operational assessment for this maybe you should speak to the Russians on their targeting Well actually they have clearly colleagues have spoken to the Russians about it and they say what you're wrong

1:20:34 Okay, isn't it incumbent on you to come up with some? I mean even a location. It doesn't seem like it would be that difficult Then the second thing is you've just expanded it quite broadly To say not just hospitals You said that the Russians are actually targeting civilian infrastructure Thank you Matt Actually the Russians have hit Are they targeting your executive? No they've hit and that's okay fine They're not targeting civilian infrastructure? No and thank you for that Some very serious accusations against Russia still stand unverified in Washington I'm gonna check on RT. Can I shake a get a second? So so who is this Sam this Syrian American medical yeah, I started looking at his clip came in last night and so I well let me just do a quick I'm looking at What is it as sam s dash?

1:21:28 USA.net, let me see who these jabronis are... Do they have- But this woman Trudeau is so arrogant! Oh she's a horrible woman! She's a horrible person! So the Sams Foundation just the Syrian American Medical Society foundation just to give you little idea has not filed their 2014 results which I think is breaking the law 2013 11 million dollars for them income They got some they got some cash to make money come with Not I just did a quick scan of the 990 couldn't really see anything, but it's from donors like you. I'm sure It's from donors like the US State Department in that woman yeah Horrible woman that's very very bad there was um well can we stay on the F Russia for a moment? Here's a quick little thing from clapper

CHAPTER 16 / 31 Discussion

Metrojet Flight 9268, Sinai Plane Crash

The hosts analyze the crash of Metrojet Flight 9268 in the Sinai Peninsula. They discuss conflicting reports from Egyptian and British intelligence regarding whether an engine explosion or an ISIS-planted bomb brought down the Russian airliner, noting the devastating impact on Egypt's tourism industry.

metrojet· sinai· isis· egypt· aviation safety

1:22:30 who was asked about this and now we're moving into the aircraft. that was, now I don't know if we say downed yet or if we just say crashed. You'll remember our analysis was not enough information to go on right now but this thing did not stall it broke up something broke it up in flight That's seems to be true although...I think there is some messaging going on First here's Clapper who just is a nincompoop but we knew that We don't have any direct evidence of any terrorist involvement yet uh, ISIL had in a tweet claimed Notice he's using the ISIL meme which is the same thing Kirby does I instead of saying ISIL or ISIS He says ISIL interestingly The questioner comes back and doesn't ask about ISIL but about ISIS responsibility for it And there is a very aggressive ISIL chapter in the Sinai But um We really don't know when I think once the

1:23:33 Black boxes have been analyzed, uh... and which they've recovered. And then perhaps we'll know more Does ISIS have the ability to shoot down an airliner? Uhh It's unlikely but I wouldn't rule it out It just bothers me that the guy is talking about ISIL and then the interviewer says ISIS Didn't even say ISIL Just- it's bothersome Yes it does, it's bothersome Then there's Daesh There's Daesh BUT An old acquaintance showed up on this CNN clip about the bombing theory.

1:24:10 Which leads me to believe something else may be going on. Do you have anything, just so I know? Do you have any clips of the plane? I have nothing on the...I have the backgrounder which is an official business because it comes from ITN Why don't we do the backgrounder And that's the one that says airplane report ITN Okay well do that and then i'll give you some analysis Preliminary Analysis Follow similar reports out of Cairo and London as we hear from Alex Thompson of Independent Television News After days of inevitable speculation based upon not much, today something altogether more substantial appears to be building. Early this afternoon Egyptian media reports indicated the plane had suffered an explosion in one engine they sourced this to black box flight recorder investigations which continue

1:24:58 Then a statement from Downing Street that, as more information has come to light, quote, we have become concerned that the plane may well have been brought down by an explosive device. As a precautionary measure we've decided that flights due to leave Sharm el Sheikh this evening for the UK will be delayed and that will allow us time to ensure the right security measures are in place for flights. Extra consular staff have also been sent to Sharm's airport to assist British holidaymakers, there are currently around 15,000 tourists in the resort Okay.

1:25:55 So, this is like...it seems to me the way this is presented as maybe an engine blew up. This does happen. It's rare and they're definitely cutting off the Egyptians are gonna get screwed out of a lot. They make millions, billions if not billions of money on the tourist business. It's like their main source of income or one of them I think they do oranges too. And this is there for screwed. Here is CNN with a report that brought back an old favorite and reminded me of something, uh conversation I'd had with Brian the Gay Crusader. Must have been maybe eight months ago listen to this

CHAPTER 17 / 31 Discussion

TWA 800 Forensics, MH17 Sound Analysis

The reappearance of a former NTSB investigator triggers a discussion on the forensics of air disasters. The hosts compare the "nanosecond of sound" used to explain the TWA 800 explosion to the 2.3-millisecond sound peak used to identify the missile strike on MH17, expressing skepticism about official narratives.

twa 800· mh17· ntsb· crash investigation· forensics

1:26:36 It's now about crash forensics backing US intelligence. A U.S. official tells CNN chatter overheard after the crash suggests ISIS planted a bomb on the Russian plane investigators looking for proof focusing their attention on this, the planes black boxes. The flights cockpit voice recorder, says an unnamed source to Russia's Interfax news agency captured uncharacteristic unexpected sounds moments before the flight disappeared a significant clue. The sound is going to be very critical to this investigation at TWA 800 we picked up a nanosecond of sound that we analyzed it very carefully

1:27:17 Okay, but I just want to pause here for a moment. This is the former NTSB guy who they now have dug up...I don't know if he's part of this somehow but they dug him up. Boy sounds like McCain! Yeah, but it's not McCain and he was the lead investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board in the TWA 800 crash do you recall this crash? Oh yeah Do you recall what happened and what it was ultimately blamed on? from a conspiracy perspective and every local who was never talked to by the entire FBI, never talked to anybody who actually witnessed this was a shoot down. Yes And it came to the point where the famous... The part that's funny about this is they I can't remember his name but he's got a French name He used to be the press secretary for John Kennedy

1:28:08 And he came out and said a big stink about this being a shoot down based on some videos or something somebody shot or whatever Here's the good news. He was It was hounded into insanity. Go on. I have video of the shoot down, it is a video that Brian The Gay Crusader saw this was almost the same day when MSNBC launched when this took place in 1996 July 15th and at two o'clock in the morning They had this video which showed a rocket being launched and striking an aircraft, let's just say it was the aircraft. And this video was never shown again and Brian has kept it all these years. I have a copy in the show notes so you can take a look at it there is plenty of information to read about it but this is the guy

1:29:02 who with a... Did he say a nanosecond? Because that kind of bugs me. He says, with a nanosecond of sound we could tell that this was the gas tank rupturing which is how it was explained there were the crossover taps in you know something was wrong there and then somehow it ignited and this big song-and-dance but now according to this guy who is back For this analysis, for some reason he said no we heard just a nanosecond of sound and that's how we knew it was not a missile or bomb. It was the gas tank rupturing fully as in any disaster In 1996 Peter Gulls is one of the key investigators in the TWA flight 800 crash off Long Island Questions swirled about whether a bomb brought down that plane

1:29:50 Air traffic control audio recordings show the flight out of JFK began normally, reaching just over 13-thousand feet. Then this last communication with the tower. Approximately one minute later, the cockpit voice recorder captured a brief unusual sound. The NTSB determined that sound was a low order explosion. The sound of the plane tearing apart after a fire in the fuel tank not a bomb. TWA 800 fell out of the sky as other pilots called into the tower. All conversation recorded between the crew in the cockpit is protected by federal privacy laws and

1:30:34 Oh, how convenient! I didn't know that. But I didn't know we couldn't hear any of that. The actual audio unreleasable to the public because it's so sensitive and so personal to the victim's families. Oh, really? Really! So maybe there was something else you weren't supposed to hear. Gull says the audio proved critical in the TWA case and in other air disasters Here comes the science In MH17, the plane shot out of the sky over Ukraine investigators triangulated a 2.3 millisecond sound peak captured on the voice recorder's multiple microphones in the cockpit and determined the noise came from outside the plane to the left side of the cockpit." I don't recall this being in the report, I don't remember that...I don't remember this being in the safety board's report. Well they just say it's been in their reports so its in there. Two point three milliseconds of sound enables us to hear that it was a missile coming

1:31:30 off of the right hand side, the aircraft exploding on the left hand side. It's fact! It was a missile launched from the ground You can sometimes tell the direction in which the sound is traveling by just the tiniest fraction of a second and you can also sometimes compare this signature or the sound to previous events Now, here's what irritating about this. So I'm just going to take a conspiratorial view for a moment and say that Flight 800 is enough circumstantial and some seemingly good evidence to show that it was shot down by some form of missile or rocket... 13000 feet is not the same as 33-32 thousand feet It was believed at the time by conspiracy folks that it was a stinger that had gotten sold into the black market somewhere they were using it to blackmail someone

CHAPTER 18 / 31 Discussion

Blue Flag Exercise, Accidental Shootdown Theory

A theory is proposed that Metrojet Flight 9268 may have been accidentally shot down during the "Blue Flag" military exercise involving the U.S., Israel, Greece, and Poland. The hosts note the proximity of the flight path to the drill area and discuss the history of accidental military shootdowns of civilian aircraft.

blue flag· israel· military drill· air combat· load master

1:32:18 Now, the fact that this guy shows up again who may be the cover artist. Again this is just the conspiracy view. He's a go-to guy for coverup of this sort now what is annoying if you look at the flight path because there's enough data about this This is Flight 9268 and uh... At the time it disappeared from the radar It was probably no more than 100 or 150 kilometers but directly abeam of the Blue Skies military air combat drill on the same day between Israel and the US. What they call, The largest military drill of its sort, been specifically for all kinds of terrorist airborne terrorist threats if you look at the map this piece of desert, the aircraft goes down

1:33:17 Just the military drill area is at their three o'clock. Completely a beam, I'm thinking... A very valid theory would be an accidental shoot down Because they were training and this thing just, this plane just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Whatever I may have been on purpose who knows but i find it extremely annoying when we have military drills and shit like this happens look up blue skies. I will! Blue Skies... I would think if accidents a possibility

1:33:56 I don't think it would be a purposeful shoot-down because... Doesn't seem smart. Because it doesn't fit into the narrative properly and what you don't want to do, which is what they're going to end up doing because of their bumbling Is they're going to blame it on these terrorists, you know the ISIS somehow. Right. To set a bomb in there and ISIS is so stupid that they took credit for it anyway And well someone on Twitter took credit for it and the site intelligence group then says ISIS took credit They get credit for it and that would just infuse the Russians because they're not very amenable to this sort of thing

1:34:35 With wanting to really bomb the crap out of Syria and really go after everybody which is not what really what we want Which we wish the Russians weren't even there because we're trying to rebel eyes to place in an old-fashioned way And so I don't think this would work out. So this was a huge blunder at some sort, but I can see I mean This reminds me of the Navy shoot down of the Iranian. Yes. Yes thing does happen Oh As reported by Times of Israel, blue skies Israeli-American Greek and Polish air personnel square off against a fictional enemy in a two week drill. Air force from around the globe have gathered deep in the Arava desert in the south of Israel for the past week and a half to take part in the largest aerial exercise in the history of the Israeli Air Force The Blue Flag Exercise which is continuing through November 3rd pits the Israeli Air Force United States Air Force Greece's Hellenic Air Force at the Polish Air Force

1:35:29 Oh, it says they had to drop out because they ran out of coal. The Polish... Racist! Hey that's my white privilege the captain in charge of all IAF exercises told they were going against a fictional enemy state So it's very possible that this was an oops moment, especially if you get something that is laser guided and goes hey what is this over here I'll just go ahead and get this one. Then we bring in the guy who... Well I would think more of a heat seeking because laser guide has to put a target on there although could see where they're not there

1:36:06 And the next thing you know it takes a left turn and blows the jet up before anyone can do anything. So I'm not saying that this is, uh... You know this is not gospel here but it's irritating That's a theory and I like your irritation with the coincidences that happen to be- And why bring THIS guy? This guy back! And then you bring in this guy, the apologist Yeah The Flight 800 apologist who took us through why that could not be I would love to get a hold of somebody as they get toward retirement, some Boeing engineers about this because I always thought that sticking Boeing with the blame on that flight 800 for faulty gas tanks even though that... when was it? What year on that? 96. Even though that plane has been in the air since what 30 years

1:36:56 Yeah, seven fifty seven seven forty seven that was like what came out in the 69 or something like that. Yeah? Yeah also this Anyway by the way I want to mention something else there was a there was a report on Chinese On the Chinese news about this their trade they had some other expert and here's going on And if you were trying to pin it on Faulty and cheap repairs. Yeah, because of a tail strike I heard this. Because of the tail strike and metal fatigue. But hold on a second...metal fatigue? Isn't the A321 not a composite aircraft?

1:37:37 Well, it is. It's made of plastic. I like the metal but there are other places. But what was funny... How about if actually what happened was it was the plastic plane finally gave up? That we're now finding these composite aircraft don't work too well. They were talking about these things where they're trying to fix them and apparently some wreck of some plane some years ago found that it was 20-year old patch that somebody had done some fiberglass repair. Fiberglass? Or whatever they used, yeah well I'm telling you all i was thinking about the whole time was Bondo That's what I was thinking too! Bondo! What is it gonna do with this dent in a plane?! Vladimir put some bondo on and its good! Bondo! Bondo my friend! Still flies! Beautiful

1:38:36 Beautiful. Well, there was a wreck that cracked... I'm not saying it cracked me up that I was thinking it was hilarious but let's see if I have...I may have a clip of it threatening phone calls killing... Islamic...I don't know, I don't see it Well, there was a wreck in Africa. No I don't have it. I may have it but I can't see it. So there was a plane crash of a cargo... no, it was a passenger plane in Africa and they blamed it. They finally came and says well it turns out that was a Russian plane by the way. It's an illusion one of those and

1:39:15 The security people allowed, they just packed the plane. They said fuck it you know let's just put more people in you know they paid. Sounds fishy sounds fishy that any aviator would take off if their weight and balance is not in check because it was an Africa It doesn't sound fishy at all Yeah, I know most of it don't they have the little weight thing where you get on the runway and then you push a bunch of buttons and you get all that. The weight information if the plane's unbalanced and how much is depending on the equipment of the aircraft now but your center gravity there's well not all aircraft have this now

1:39:52 Oh, that's why you have a loading people. The military has loading what is it called? A load officer something like that and they ask you your weight. Yeah yeah it's very important weight and balance is mainly for the center of gravity that's that's the main thing you want to make sure you have because otherwise yeah you load master that's what it is thank you Thank you, Trevor. The load master! Okay go onward. All right so we covered that it's best than any nobody else has covered any of this no except our show I we try yeah i think We do pretty well well I wouldn't know It from the one producer we had let's uh although he likes us Let's take a little look at the upcoming summit and on

CHAPTER 19 / 31 Discussion

Antarctic Ice Growth, NASA Study

A new NASA study reveals that the Antarctic ice sheet is gaining more ice than it is losing, contradicting previous reports from the IPCC. The hosts highlight the media's tendency to ignore this data while continuing to report on melting ice in the Arctic and Greenland to support the global warming narrative.

nasa· antarctica· ice sheet· sea level rise· ipcc

1:40:40 On Sunday, I'll have a little more expanded report. But we do have problems that you wonder how coincidental it is... How many times you've been to Paris John? Oh! That was a lip smack if i ever heard one. I wasn't even near the bike Yeah but you did it Well.... I'm sorry yeah I'm just trying to help us Probably maybe 20 times I've lost really been there enough that I've lost count I can find my way around Has it ever been really polluted, the air when you were there? No. Paris is pretty clear I don't think it's in any sort of a bowl or anything that would be polluted. Oh well somehow for the upcoming climate IPCC COP 21 big grand pooh bah get together we got

1:41:31 bad situations in Paris. The climate change summit will reduce speed, include representatives from 195 countries. Conference will start in Paris on November 30th and last until December 11th." Well I sure hope they can get all the pollution out by then it's horrible this pollution! Pollution, pollution... And that of course is carbon pollution not carbon dioxide but carbon now the big news that came from NASA

1:42:14 was the announcement that the Antarctic ice sheet is growing instead of shrinking as has been continuously claimed. I always thought they were barking up the wrong tree with that phony story Well here's the... So, the problem is how NASA report- I'm reading directly from nasa.gov A new NASA study says that an increase in Arctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers. The research... this is from NASA! The research challenges the conclusions of other studies including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC's 2013 report which says Antarctica is overall losing land ice

1:43:05 This is surprising to me that NASA would do this. Somebody didn't pay off somebody! There's another, there's a lip smack for me I'm sorry... The troubling quote in this And this again from nasa.gov, you'll find in the show notes 771.noagendanotes.com The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise but it's taking 0.23 millimeters per year away But this is also bad news If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for! Oh my! This is NASA!

1:43:57 This is NASA saying yes, I read that too and how does NBC report? Melting sea ice threatening to send their way of life into extinction Earth It's been frozen forever now melting NBC News has spent the past four months traveling to the Arctic Which has seen the most sea ice melting in recent years notice. They went to the Arctic not the Antarctic nor No report whatsoever on the Antarctic ice, only this and I got some CBS as well. Since NASA began keeping track in 1978... The ice that once protected their fragile shoreline from big fall storms is melting Those Alaskan glaciers are melting Scientists say this year alone the average glacier will lose 30 inches of thickness Glacier's kept shrinking

1:44:43 The impact has been dramatic in Greenland. In recent decades it's certainly been melting more than is replenished from snowfall and that's causing sea level to come up There you go, they do not report Sea levels coming up? They do not report Yeah Hold on a second 0.27 millimeters How do you even measure that? How do you measure that? The key word...sea levels coming up triggers the thought Okay I think i should check. Oh hold on a second yes this is very good uh where uh hold on, I'm little off today on the uh on the jingles let's just pretend you said it again see what sea levels are rising in Greenland right now the maps of the world will have to be redrawn this is what would happen to San Francisco Bay

CHAPTER 20 / 31 Discussion

Philippe Verdier, French Weatherman Firing

French weather presenter Philippe Verdier was reportedly fired after publishing a book skeptical of the "hype" surrounding climate change. The hosts discuss this as a "crime of opinion," noting the timing of his dismissal just before the major UN climate conference in Paris.

philippe verdier· france· climate change· skepticism· freedom of speech

1:45:43 That's right everybody, John C. Dvorak with the Mud Flat Global Warming Report! I'm looking out at the mud flats... And? They're still there. Amen. Fist bump. Well I have a couple of things in this category Let's start with French climate change author this by the way you have not heard this story anywhere. I'm pretty sure we had to report it I'm pretty sure we discussed this on this very show a few weeks ago about the Russian no, but the guy got fired Yeah, yeah the French guy the French weatherman

1:46:27 Oh, okay. Well I guess i wasn't paying attention to that part of the show We had this a couple weeks ago...I'll play it anyway It's funny because they're reporting this as news While its playing ill find the clip we played For now on air skepticism over climate change has cost one French weatherman his job He was taken off air after publishing a book where he described quote The complete hype on the matter I am Philippe Verdier, journalist and weather presenter for TV. While Philippe Verdier's book questioned the causes and consequences of climate change, the author suggested that warmer temperatures could bring benefits including cheaper energy bills His comments came just as France prepares to host a major UN conference on climate change later this month that aims to decrease pollution levels We asked the head of the publishing house what he thinks about the incident

1:47:20 For me this incident felt like a crime of opinion pure and simple. With this book we expected a controversy but not a sacking, This demonstrates that there is real ideological problem in France At certain point we asked Philip about the possible outcomes We told him that he should protect his interests Never did he say it's the money that counts Well, I wanted to play the clip because it said crime of opinion which i think is a great phrase. You should definitely write that one down. I did. I couldn't find it that quickly but we played a couple weeks ago but I remember you even saying oh my goodness! I think you said Oh My Goodness? I could have said that. So instead let's go to listening to Amy Democracy Now and The War and Peace Report at warandpeacereport.com Right The War and Peace Report

CHAPTER 21 / 31 Discussion

Amy Goodman, Yemen Cyclone Misinformation

The hosts fact-check Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! after she claimed a tropical cyclone hitting Yemen was the first in recorded history. They cite a 2008 cyclone that killed 180 people in the same region, accusing the program of fabricating historical "firsts" to link weather events to climate change.

amy goodman· democracy now· yemen· cyclone· climate change

1:48:13 I better have this clip here. It might be on a second page. See, there's an Amy Goodman clip on Yemen. I don't even see Amy here. Money laundering Islamist takeover... Yes, this is a great clip. Storm in Yemen? Is that it? That would be it. Yeah okay there's just couple of these storms War-torn Yemen has been battered by a tropical cyclone marking the first time in recorded history A tropical storm has ever made landfall there parts of Yemen saw as much rain and 24 hours As they usually see In several years The port city of Mukalla controlled by Al Qaeda militants Has been particularly hard hit By flooding scientists have warned

1:48:57 of a link between stronger tropical storms and climate change. Oh yes, of course! She always has to throw that in. Yeah okay well let me just start off by Amy Goodman you're an out-and-out liar this is the first time that it's tropical storm I figured i'm gonna go look up and find 10 or 20 of them thing I didn't expect to find an entry in the Wikipedia and I recommend people see this 2008 Yemen cyclone, which is what it was called. It hit land 160 people were killed and flooded everything. And why does she say that it's never happened? She says it's never happened before I'm referencing play the clip again because there's a specific even I didn't she didn't say it was a tornado or she specifically said tropical depressions never hit before

1:49:46 War-torn Yemen has been battered by a tropical cyclone, marking the first time in recorded history a tropical storm has ever made landfall there. Parts of Yemen saw as much rain in 24 hours as they usually see in several years. The port city of Mukalla controlled by al Qaeda militants has been particularly hard hit by flooding. Scientists have warned of a link between stronger tropical storms and climate change." on October 24th, 2008. Quote, it made landfall on the southeastern coast of Yemen spelled with a Y. Causing severe flooding leaving about 180 dead She is full of crap she should be ashamed of herself I love that Democracy Now show because you get all kinds of news You wouldn't normally get but I do not expect out and out lies this was in 2008 It wasn't like in the 1700s This John is borderline

1:50:45 borderline borderline when the ocean rises just this much this whole area We're all gonna die you know I was thinking I was contemplating the climate change meme And how everybody gets fired if they talk about it. No this is science, and it's a religion we have all those elements We've discussed most of this got a lot of good comments on on the religion this the the religious the religiosity Of climate change yeah

CHAPTER 22 / 31 Discussion

Climate Change, New World Order Economics

The hosts speculate that the climate change movement is a New World Order initiative designed to transition the global economy away from petroleum to prevent resource-based wars. They argue the upcoming Paris summit is primarily about establishing a "Climate Justice Court" to redistribute wealth from rich to poor nations.

new world order· petroleum economy· migration· climate justice· economics

1:51:32 I'm thinking, this is a thought that passed my mind. Is climate change possibly a New World Order initiative? Ah! I am glad you brought that up And you can go on but let me tell you why i think this For the following reasons We have to get our... we have to lie, we have to do anything. We can't lie and cheat but they're just lying to the public now that's one of the only reasons that we have listeners to our show because we try to break through this They just lied in the public and everybody slaps it up like your friend there you just had dinner with Oh yeah! They just lap it up or whatever you say And they don't question authority It's science! Science is in The man isn't out.. There are actual scientists Why would they

1:52:13 Why would they promote this? What is the real endgame, what is the purpose?" And again my thinking about the elites is that the main thing they don't want is war. Because when there's war people steal their stuff! They accumulate a bunch of stuff, they get castles. They get all these things. They get these paintings and rugs and then the war breaks out and all their stuff is stolen by the enemy. Well well well...they don't want war in their country. True yeah they don't care about war in the Middle East but no they don't want to be involved. They don't any more around them. They wanna keep it away. Keep it at arm's length as best they can

1:52:52 One of the elements that causes wars based and you are the biggest proponent of this is mass migration One of the biggest problems that causes war, if you go to the base and you're the biggest proponent of this is oil. Oil pipelines all the rest of it. And not just oil for your car but every product you have in your life. Pharmaceuticals... We have to move away from a petroleum economy which is what we are. We are a petroleum economy where everything's got to do with their oil and you've got Russians with oil everybody's got oil We've got to somehow move away from that because that is the real basis, the reason for the migration is because of oil. It's...it's this it's the basis, the way I conceive an elite thinking, it's the basis for all confrontational wars at the base of everything somehow oil and energy as well. Well but we always say it's your resources

1:53:46 It's turf and there's always a hooker involved somewhere those three things minimize any one of these elements you can add to it if you want But if you can drop the oil drop the petroleum thing, and if you haven't noticed this is all about It's getting petroleum out of the picture. The whole global warming thing, oh we got to have more wind! We gotta have a wind energy, we gotta have more dams let's make some dams! Well okay so what I'm seeing about this particular climate change summit is it is about money. It is 100% about money who is going to give money? Which rich nations and how much are they going to give to the poor countries

1:54:25 And how is that going to be policed? This is all about economy and that's what I'm working on a larger piece for Sunday, the statements from leaders of this IPCC group and the movement. that only talks about the economics. It's not about saving the earth, no it's about the economics and who will give them money to... My thesis is smaller poor countries which are often run by some elite guy who is smart and you know despot they see beyond this they see as bull crap and want to gouge the gouge They want a piece of action Of course there they do Now this brings me to the Albert Pike theory

CHAPTER 23 / 31 Discussion

Albert Pike, Three World Wars Theory

A controversial 1871 letter attributed to Freemason Albert Pike is discussed, which allegedly predicted three world wars to usher in a one-world government. While acknowledging the letter is likely a hoax due to anachronistic terms like "fascist," the hosts note how the described conflicts between Islam and Zionism mirror current geopolitical tensions.

albert pike· freemasonry· world war iii· zionism· hoax

1:55:08 Oh no. Have you ever heard of the Albert Pike theory? I've heard of Albert Pike. Albert Pike, supposedly this has been disputed and there's a lot about this that you can look it up he supposedly wrote a letter... who was Albert Pike we should probably start there I don't know. Albert... I don't remember, yeah he's some sort of a… well let me look him up and just get the root from where am I gonna make it? Right, right. Well, Albert, and he has a statue in Washington D.C., was a Freemason. He is one of the only Confederate military officers or figures honored with this statue in Washington DC. Was born in Boston son-of-a-blah blah blah, and he died in 1891.

1:56:00 And what about him? Okay, so the theory goes that he wrote a letter to Mazzini of Italy in 1871 and this of course has been disputed but in this letter apparently he said the setup had been planned for generations and it was about three world wars. Just bear with me, I'm just reading this out. The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the elites to overthrow the power of the Tsars in Russia and making that country a fortress of atheistic communism

1:56:39 Then the Second World War must be, I'm just reading from what he supposedly wrote. Must be formatted by taking advantage of the differences between the fascists and political Zionist this war must be brought about... Did he use the word fascist? This is what is disputed about using those words in that time frame. Yeah. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel and Palestine And then Apparently the third world war must be used to word Israel. Yes, sir Oh yeah, I know I know I'm just giving you the theory because it's all over the place Huh?

1:57:18 Because the third, it ties into what you're talking about. It must be fomented by taking advantage of differences and the war must be conducted in a way that Islam and political Zionism mutually destroy each other Meanwhile other nations once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical moral spiritual and economic exhaustion Then we shall unleash the nihilists and the atheists We shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and the most bloody turmoil. The manifestation will result from general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and Atheism both conquered and exterminated at the same time." And the concept here is we then go to global socialism

1:58:05 run by the one world, new world order. The one-world government and there will be a new this is when you hear that's everything new form of United Nations and if you look at it for all its worth or not worth the IPCC, the global warming movement is now that we have this they're going to instate a climate justice court This is another one of the main things they're doing in Paris, so that the Climate Justice Court which will have some authority like a UN-type body will be able to penalize countries based upon them not doing the right thing with climate change. And when you take it all the way down to the level of the human being who we exhale climate pollutants and CO2

1:58:57 Those regulations, those rules whatever climate justice will be pegged at that is real control. Yeah they're not gonna get anywhere with this and I don't know where that note comes from but that's such bullshit the word fascist didn't even appear anywhere in the world until 1921 which is yeah there's a lot of discussion about this and there's a lot of...I don't know why there'd be any discussion about it if the letter is a hoax okay The letter isn't complete in total hoax. Play China burning more coal! Newly disclosed data shows China has been burning up to 17 percent more coal than the Chinese government previously reported. The news comes just weeks before international negotiators meet in Paris to try and reach an agreement on addressing climate change. Democracy Now! will be broadcasting from the U.N. Climate Summit for the full two weeks. I'm sure you will. He loves going to Paris, obviously. Oh yeah, hanging out in Paris, have Pierre do my hair… Well that never happens

2:00:00 For the month. The, what is this climate justice guy's gonna go find them for? I mean come on! This is a dis-is falling apart to scam. Well we'll see I mean, how can you say it's falling apart when what NASA wrote is being ignored? Do you think the president isn't going to stop saying no, sea level is rising. The people that are kind of blinded by and they're gonna keep whatever you say they got their hands over their ears going so they can't hear anything. junkets to Paris so they can have a meeting or the phony baloney stopping, you know putting taking cars off the streets So these elites can get better around town easier which is the only reason to do that Yeah I mean yeah all that's gonna continue but I think in general The movement is like dead in the water and I want to say something about something You said on the last show of the show before? You made a philosophical comment

CHAPTER 24 / 31 Discussion

Coronal Mass Ejection, Military Training Exercise

The Military Auxiliary Radio System (MARS) is conducting a month-long training exercise simulating a massive Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). The hosts discuss the potential for a "Carrington Event" to destroy the electrical grid and consumer electronics, emphasizing the importance of ham radio and Faraday bags for emergency communication.

cme· carrington event· mars· ham radio· power grid

2:00:57 along the lines of, don't you think that someday like maybe a hundred years from now they're gonna look back on this point with this phony religion called climate change and how it just screwed everything up for awhile and then it took forever to figure out that there was bullshit. No I think what I said was isn't it sad that when this all turns out to be phony baloney we'll be long dead and gone? When the history finally shows that this was a hoax Yeah well yeah it's probably... same thing More or less, you just were more obsessed with the dead and gone part. This is not gonna happen! This is just going to be ignored as a blip in the historic record. I was thinking about this and said well this didn't happen... It's already overdue for us to bring up the population bomb and all of the rest of that stuff that was predicted in the 70s That was a big buncha crap

2:01:52 fell apart, but yet nobody's complained about them and including the guy who is now he's in the climate game this Ehrlich character. Nobody talked about how stupid it was to be predicting global cooling back in the 1970s with and not one article... Well the only difference we now have so much more information stored and available versus the 70s when we had the global cooling, and we do have New York Times articles. We have Time Magazine articles, Newsweek articles. We have television pieces about it. It's Podesta. The same people who are now crying about global warming but the difference is that amount of information is just...unless of course

2:02:37 coronal mass ejection and everything's erased. Which is, I might want to point this out...I have been alerted as part of the Mars system? Are you part of Mars? Are you part of the Mars system? No! Well you should be if your a ham! No. Should i be? Yes! You'd be perfect! Mars is the military auxiliary radio system and we are all on alerts for the month of November I read here from, and this has been redacted. It's the 1415 Mars COMEX execution of this COMEX requires coordination with radio stations in the amateur radio service training exercise simulates for the whole month of November training exercise stimulates a notional coronal mass ejection and geomagnetic storm

2:03:31 In 1859, one of the largest geomagnetic storms on record occurred known as the Carrington event. The CME associated with this solar storm was a direct hit on Earth. Telegraph communications across the globe which had become primary method for communications around the world failed in 1989 another CME knocked out electricity for 12 hours to over 6 million residents in Quebec. The solar storm of 2012 was of similar magnitude to the Carrington event but passed the earth's orbit without striking the planet Should a CME of this magnitude strike Earth today, the resulting geomagnetic storm is expected to cause significant damage to electrical and telecommunications infrastructure, consumer electronics and cause widespread economic and social disruption. Some estimates indicate up to $2 trillion in damage etc., etc., etc... And throughout COMEC stations should operate under exercise conditions that simulate a complete unavailability of cyberspace electrical and telecommunications infrastructure

2:04:25 Friendly forces Air Force Army amateur radio operators DoD and the American Radio Relay League and Are you doing this of course I am but um, I'm a ham. I don't know You know ham radio could save your life man. It's not just a hobby Now, I... That's why you have to buy a new transmitter. I know! I know about the 1800s and that it just blew out everything. And we weren't really that complicated back then There was electricity, there was uh... The telegraph poles were on fire They were on fire

2:05:06 I don't know. It wasn't a good situation to have that happen, if it happened today i'll tell you this one good there's some good news about it first of all takes all the teslas off the road to me that is like what a good idea hold on let me just write that down outstanding mr de warwick and probably take out facebook which is another good thing yeah um Yeah, yeah. Something like that could happen it could erase the... I have to look into what is... What would it take to blow out a solid state drive in so far as one of these solar purges?

2:05:58 If I just had like a thumb drive sitting around... I don't know. I have no idea. I don't know that, I don't know either. Well this is a military briefing and it says that it can knock out all kinds of stuff if consumer electronics will just break and not work anymore. I would assume that lot of that would be true But what, specifically? Would it blow out an iPhone probably. Probably! Would it blow out your computer that's operating on the power grid which would probably get a jolt of some sort plus the other thing and then bang you know just probably torch a couple of high-end microprocessors or screw them up... It doesn't take much by the way No

2:06:38 But I mean, if you open up your computer and you're messing around and you're messing with the chips. And you're not grounded properly or if you're changing chips, you can blow them up just with static electricity. Yeah it doesn't take much. No. Yes static electricity will ruin a lot of stuff So I'm just going to read 0.5 again... But, but i am just wondering whether we'll blow out a because if it won't blow out a thumb drive that's just sitting around then I think we're gonna be good to go for saving this information that you worried about well That's a good point but I just want to read again from .4B

2:07:16 The resulting geomagnetic storm is expected to cause significant damage to electrical and telecommunications infrastructure, consumer electronics and cause widespread economic and social disruptions. Some pay your Apple Pay in your credit card terminals may not work Some estimates indicate up to $2 trillion in damage and recovery from such an event may extend from several months to years. Only equipment that has been protected during the geomagnetic storm should be expected to operate post-event." I have a Faraday bag with, uh...with the radio in it. Okay? You don't have that? That's part of your...? I am not expecting this event to take place! Why not? I'm a...I'm an optimist Oh okay Well

2:08:03 I have Faraday bags for things. My wallet is a Faraday case so people can't steal my money, which is in the credit card with this chip. I keep my FastPass in aluminum foil which works And, because I don't like to be tracked...I'm not like a paranoid nutcase but I just don't see any reason. I should be tracked around town because they have monitors everywhere with these fast packers. If you've got a fast pack, if you want to fast track one of these little beepers that pays your bridge tolls unless it's glue do your thing there is their tracking everywhere you go just so you know in case its crime fighting its good idea

2:08:51 But I just don't like it. I don't like the idea of me being followed around." Well, I'm going to...I will be protecting the city of Austin. Okay! And then just to wrap up the whole thing You know, you think that people... it doesn't make a difference. And I'm seeing something very... there's a new... What did I say doesn't make a difference? Oh that this will be a blip in history and no one will talk about it. Oh yeah! That's what I think. Yeah and the whole thing is falling apart well A new working paper from- It's like the straw hat of our era You ever talk about straw hats? Take a look at the picture from 1911 or 1928, or 1930 for that matter. It's like a horde of people all wearing straw hats! What kind of mania is this?! It's crazy!! Yeah I'm looking... what's wrong with the straw hats?? Why did they show up and why did they go away??? Nobody wears them anymore. I've never seen anyone in their right mind.

Newsletter Results, Knighting of Sir Tim Abel

The hosts review the results of their recent newsletter, noting a low conversion rate for donations despite positive feedback. They perform a knighting ceremony for Sir Tim Abel and discuss a listener's concern about "ear cancer" potentially caused by high-wattage LTE signals from modern smartphones.

2:09:57 at nber.org has come out with a very important report, hot weather leads to diminished coital frequency...co-co-coidal? Coidal? Coidal? Frequency! How do I pronounce that? Coital? And now they're saying because of climate change, we'll not get laid. You see? Now I'm worried! Birth rates do not bounce back completely after heat waves More autumn conceptions means more deliveries in the summer Air conditioning might prove to be an aphrodisiac Global warming will not get you laid This is the reason to drive a Tesla

2:10:47 This is all nonsense. It's a government-funded organization and report, I hope you enjoy it! Let's audit the Pentagon. Yeah there you go. All right so we had four We have 460. We sent out a mailing that people were getting in their regular mail. Did we get any nice photoshops? Yeah, we got tons that's gonna be fun! Okay The Photoshop thing is taking off. Tell people about that. I posted it in the newsletter. I posted the picture of Adam and

2:11:44 Tina the Keeper, and said it looked like a thing that could be easily used for Photoshop joke photos. And so people are making these and I'm gonna pick one out or the two of us will pick one out that is the best and put in the newsletter but it's just fun to play with Photoshop when you have kind of image...and then Nick Dirac if you had your Twitter account, Nick Dirac already did the uh... the massachusetts he pulled it in and out so you can move them anywhere beautiful so you have a bunch of people with this that one by posted on that's where which is usually or in the meeting with the bin laden

2:12:23 folks, you know Hillary smelling her finger. In the situation room? The situation room. Those are some good ones. So we sent out this newsletter to 15,000 people which for one time because it was very carefully structured it went...it didn't get into the promotion staff but actually came in most people's real mail if they had Gmail most people and more so than usual. Oh okay interesting! So after sending out that fifteen thousand... We learned something Yeah We learned something, probably not to do it again. Because with the 15... I sent out 15 thousand of these things, $50,500 to be exact. It's a pretty good-sized newsletter and out of fifteen thousand we have 13 people who actually thought enough of it to give more than fifty dollars. Nice! Thanks! Thirteen that is less than zero points one...it's unbelievable and so we can thank this group. We already named one of them so you have 12 left

2:13:21 people who thought enough of the show and the work we put into it, and the rest of it. And thought they did their time in the right...and you know how the value of the show and everything in between. We got to 12 people here- I don't understand! People..I got so many positive comments on this preview show. Yes! People said they loved it, love the analysis, that was one of the better ones. It's obviously not the quality of the show. Well maybe, maybe were on the wrong track Have you ever considered just as an aside? Yeah, we just celebrate eight years. Do you ever think like fuck I want to do something else? I don't think that way but i will if this continues like this Let's thank the people who supported us for this week let's thank them Yes well we start off with one of our knights sir Brian Watson in Raleigh North Carolina he came in with a biggest amount of 1 2 3 4 5

2:14:12 And he wants, we're gonna let him get it. Well we might as well read the notes is that there's only four notes? Yeah it was only 12. F cancer I had my ear removed yesterday this isn't good. Part of his ears part of my ear Oh okay the year looks like I pissed off Mike Tyson at least got a sense of humor Cancer all gone will have another surgery with anesthesia this time so my ear will heal Need karma for more acute nurses and other successful surgery Get your bodies checked for cancer. Ear cancer is, that's a weird one man how does ear cancer happen? I have no idea That's nasty! You've got karma. Anonymous from Ottawa Canada $75 Sir Luke of London UK 5888

2:15:04 Stephen or Stephan depending. I think Stephen. Whalen and Milford, Michigan 55 double nickels on the dime and let's go down one here is this Sir Brian Watson next? No i'm sorry get the wrong. Do you think cell phone might cause ear cancer yes that's an interesting thought chat room I've had nothing but I've always been sketchy about cell phones, especially ones with the extra wattage so you can actually hit the tower. Because they used to have big antennas and they used do this... And that's the new iPhone 6 has the new frequencies for T-Mobile LTE which is longer range. Yeah

2:15:51 Yeah, so you could... I don't know. I'm gonna use an iPhone but I'll ask you this. So if you're doing some data work can you also take a call? Yes. So I could have the LTE cranking away at high speeds with high wattage? It's a configuration. You can set it for LTE and voice or LTE. I think it may be that you may start to share something but yes, you can do both. So I would have this thing against my ear? I never had a transfer of the LTE network while I'm talking so I'd have two things beam into my brain I don't see how this is good. Yeah, I think instead of the global warming we should be looking into this more. Craig Harbison in Hamilton Ohio 5433 has got a couple douchebag call outs and they're listening to real guests from the universe for a couple of years now and have tried hitting many people in there

2:16:45 in their proverbial mouths, but only a few stick in my mind as worthy of calling out is douchebags. Okay? Or douchebags of the highest order It is my meager request that you call out Ben Dorin Kevin Stewart Dooshbags! Frank Kessler. Dooshbags! It's a trifecta of titillating, terrible dooshbags that are all rich and holding out on you guys. Oh no... So don't hold back He says another note is interesting His company was purchased and he was assigned as employee number 33

That is, of course always appreciated and there are a couple of people below the $50 level Ford I see one three forty nine ninety nine so we have a lot of four dollar guys which i really think it's a great donation the four dollars a week right

CHAPTER 26 / 31 Discussion

White Mortality Rates, Georgia EBT Glitch

A study showing rising death rates among middle-aged white Americans due to suicide and drug overdoses is discussed. This is followed by a report from Georgia where a computer "glitch" prevented EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) funds from being loaded onto cards, leading to unrest at a local human services office.

mortality rates· suicide· ebt· georgia· food stamps

2:22:39 The white men's days, like white men? The white man with white privilege. Yes! White man with white privilege play the clip killing Whitey A new study finds the death rate for white middle-aged Americans is rising, even as it declines among other groups. The spike appears to have particularly impacted people who lack a college education. Princeton economist Angus Deaton in Anne Case said the deaths appear to be the result of an epidemic of suicides, heroin and painkiller overdoses, and alcoholic liver disease. Yeah, I read this report and I chuckled because I am not only a white man of middle age but also have no college degree...I'm technically dead! I don't even know how i can be doing the show. Suicides, overdose, painkillers prescriptions, eat heroin yeah it's this is exactly what the American dream is get into the middle class and die that's all that's it that's the point

2:23:36 Get into the middle class and die. Well, things are bad with the lower class. And then doing it the hard way instead of shooting them, then the cops shoot you? It's just kill yourself! Kill yourself dude! There was a problem with...and it's interesting to me that people always call it the food stamps Even though there's no stamps involved anymore in this program. No, they stopped the stamps a while back But they still call it food stamps and then I know which is you're right It's I don't know why that is and now that is a disparaging it is very disparaging name This was in Georgia and people were lining up at the food stamp office

2:24:18 because their food stamps, you listen to the report. Their food stamps did not show up but at the very beginning of this report one of the food stamp recipients woman holds up a Visa debit card that says EBT on it which is the electronic benefits what does the T stand for? Transfer I think it is and so what happened in its essence is money did not get transferred onto the debit cards and people got hungry and they started to get mad. Tom, state officials admit... Huh? I was gonna say how can that happen it's just a computer. Tom, state officials admit to me tonight that something went wrong down in Clayton County at the office that administers food stamps in Medicaid but they're still not sure what parents tell me tonight they can't buy food without those food stamps

2:25:09 This food stamp card ain't got number 17 cents on it. Terry Clark says she stood in line for more than six hours at Clayton County's Human Services office because food stamp help for her six children unexpectedly ended. There is no telling my kids that we can eat! I'm not taking no because my babies don't deserve that. Nobody kids should go hungry down here in Georgia, state officials say this office was overwhelmed today with dozens of families facing a similar problem. The food stamps just not there me and my kids they haven't ate since morning So I'm not supposed to get my flu stamps yesterday and I ain't getting nothing. So they was getting angry, they started banging on the window! A state spokesperson tells me what happened here today was out of the ordinary and it was unexpected but they say they're not sure what exactly went wrong What was the glitch that led to this mess? If you have computer problems, I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems but a glitch ain't one. I got 99 glitches Glitch! Glitch!

2:26:12 Put a goatee on there, will ya? That's right everybody. The universal term! Can we only find the most uneducated sounding black women that are screeching? Oh yeah, of course. In the line? It was horrendous and keep saying food stamp food stamp food stamp. There's no food stamps involved. Let me tell you where it came from.

Shillery No Well maybe this next clip will help you This was probably one of the best gaffes I've heard

CHAPTER 27 / 31 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, Banning the Box Gaffe

Hillary Clinton makes a notable gaffe while discussing "Ban the Box" legislation, stating that "former presidents" should not have to declare their criminal history when applying for jobs. The hosts interpret this as a Freudian slip regarding the legal troubles surrounding the Clinton and Obama administrations.

hillary clinton· ban the box· gaffe· criminal history· hiring

2:27:45 Hold on, let me bring this up. This was Hillary and now what she's doing something interesting whenever the president is going on about she immediately launches onto that as, you know, Oh this is something I'm working on. So we had... Oh yeah! So now it's the prisoners and the president, he just came out with a memorandum and he saying okay, We've got to- This is his podcast this week It's all about getting, you know, prisoners out of- You heard her at The Black High School saying hey, you know, they're not gonna go jail for smoking crack. We're going to turn that back And everyone loved it like, Yeah!

2:28:22 We can say we finally do crack and we're not gonna go to jail fantastic So now she's on the prisoner tip. And here's what she said every year hundreds of thousands of prisoners re-enter society That's the good news They've paid their debt they're free, but then what happens they look for a job Everywhere they go doors are shut in their faces that starts all over again a cycle of poverty and hopelessness that too often can lead to more crime. Earlier today, I announced that as president, I will take steps to ban the box so former presidents won't have to declare their criminal history at the very start of a hiring process. That way they'll have a chance to be seen as more than just someone who's done time." Now did you hear what she actually said?

2:29:19 About banning the box? Yeah, what did she say right after banning the box. I missed it Get ready! I will take steps to ban the box so former presidents won't have to declare their criminal history at the very start of the hiring process That's right former presidents like you Hillary won't have to declare your criminal past Like Obama By banning the box And like Bill What a gaffe That is the clip of the day, okay. Play it. I will take steps to ban the box so former presidents won't have to declare their criminal history at the very start of a hiring process

2:30:06 Hello, Mr. Freud speaking? Yes I hear Hillary made a gaffe! I think she wanted to do the truth always wants to come out it was about truly about the presidents being criminals. Love that you know there was i think it was Madison or I forgot who it was that And I think we had a clip of somebody talking about this. It was always anticipated that the nature of this country and our leadership, that some presidents would get impeached and thrown out. That's why it was in there so I put in the Constitution. We don't even do anything. We have obvious criminals...and that would include, I would say George Bush for sure.

CHAPTER 28 / 31 Discussion

European Migrant Crisis, Volkswagen Scandal Update

The UN reports record-breaking migrant arrivals in Europe, with over 218,000 in a single month. Meanwhile, the Volkswagen scandal expands to include gasoline engines and brake issues, and Deutsche Bank agrees to pay $258 million for violating U.S. sanctions, which the hosts view as an attack on German industry.

migrants· angela merkel· volkswagen· emissions· deutsche bank

2:30:56 Chow a Cheney for sure huh I think Clinton also Anybody there's probably a couple other ones. I'm Nixon yeah, she quit before you could do that So he kind of jumped the gun on that But and if you go back people like Martin Van Buren and some of these other guys are just obvious criminals Yeah And we don't know anything about it which is good in bad no We elect them into higher office yeah Hillary herself A little update on the migrant situation. My obsession of the past few months just tracking the people walking across Europe, they are walking across Europe carrying children... It's the invasion! It is the invasion With migrants and refugees lined up at borders across Europe hope for a solution remains dim and now new numbers from the United Nations show a migration pattern that refuses to slow down

2:31:49 Refugee Agency UNHCR spokesman Adrian Edwards says a little more than 218,000 arrived last month breaking the previous monthly record and nearly matching last year's total of 219,000. So it's an enormous number of people. It is producing enormous pressures on places where people are arriving, the Greek island in particular seeing particular strain and on 20th October we had more than 10 000 people in a single day on these arriving islands where there simply hasn't been the capacity to deal with those kind of figures so really overwhelming situation

2:32:27 The vast majority of refugees and migrants have traveled via Turkey to Greece. UNHCR had said in October that Europe was planning for up to 700,000 refugees this year but that number has already been eclipsed. Edward says he expects this level of arrivals to continue into 2016 Certainly in 2016 we have to expect this level of arrivals to continue and that's because the factors that are causing people to move aren't going away. We are in a period of record numbers of forced displacement globally, almost 60 million people fleeing conflict, fleeing areas of instability it is the new reality that we all have to deal with but this is a phenomenon isn't going away quickly Yeah

2:33:17 It just does not stop. I guess this month, the head count was 200 thousand. It's the highest so far and it's as much as all of last year total migration if they're looking at over 3 million people by 2017 and as you know Angela Merkel has a lot of problems with her coalition partners in Bavaria. Quick report? A Bavarian official has called Chancellor Angela Merkel to tell her that if Germany welcomes a million refugees, his town will only take in around 1800 any extra will be sent directly to Angela Merkel in Berlin by bus. Them fighting words right there boy! I'll tell you. Bless him over And I did some work above my day yesterday was spent combing through the draft resolution of

2:34:07 of the uh... investigatory powers bill as introduced by a home secretary to resolve this little because they do in a fish and german news let's go to german news dot slant knows how long has he been on dot slant so you listen to the doors and i did not realize that is who are just roll in their eyes over the Volkswagen. Just do an update on Volkswagen and see what other crap's being pushed down, the other stuff that has happened." I don't know if getting in a car is going to make you feel any better after Ben tells us the latest news from Volkswagen. It's one scandal after the next Brent. VWs now recalling additional 90 thousand cars in the United States A mechanical problem that can knock out power assisted brakes

2:34:52 That's on top of the German automaker understating the level of emissions from its gasoline engines. Until now, this scandal had only surrounded diesel models... In other news VW and its Audi units have frozen sales of diesels in the US and it's Porsche unit has done the same with its Cayenne And when you thought it couldn't get worse ratings agency Moodys has cut VW credit worthiness It just goes on and on. Now there's brakes! That is...and now they're talking about regular gasoline automobiles? Yes! Now, I want to say there is something to be said that the regulations, the EPA regulations which under this president in this country where we have this conversation have become so stringent. They are unachievable.

2:35:42 And I'm pretty sure if you really were able to do the investigation that a lot of automobile manufacturers have defeat devices or systems for all of their automobiles, but that's not the point. So there's something, some German targeting going on and this next report again from Deutsche Welle which has a funny kind of question at the end. On Deutsche Bank is another issue! Oh yeah... Okay Lars talking about German brands American regulators say Germany's largest bank Deutsche Bank has agreed to pay 258 million dollars in fines for doing business with US sanctioned countries like Iran and Syria I mean

2:36:22 What are the Germans doing wrong? Well, hold on a second. So I got a note from the...I think maybe I told you this that my former New York banker here in Austin who used to be at Deutsche. Yeah He sent me a note a week ago and he said all my boys are out of Deutsche and now they're going to fire 35 thousand people And this goes back to what we couldn't figure out when he kept saying, We won. We won the American banks. We won and I think this is part of it if you look at some of the other banks HSBC reported earnings increase your bottom line is up but Deutsche is completely obliterated This is all part of the same thing I believe and we know what that is

CHAPTER 29 / 31 Discussion

UK Investigatory Powers Bill, Snoopers Charter

UK Home Secretary Theresa May introduces the Investigatory Powers Bill, which requires internet providers to store citizens' browsing history for 12 months. The hosts detail the bill's provisions for bulk metadata collection, legalizing government hacking, and forcing tech companies to provide bypasses for encryption.

theresa may· surveillance· encryption· metadata· hacking

2:37:17 Well, it continues. Yes it does. Huh! You know what? Screw him Yeah, this You know we're triggering World War three I guess if you're okay with that triggering. We're not triggering we're in the middle of it Well, I mean it's not triggering This is all a part of it mm-hmm still pounding on they were still got the sledgehammer and were pounding on the top of the bomb Trying to get the thing to blow. I'd like to Folk are you done with Deutschland? I think so okay Now we go to the new United Kingdom surveillance bill. Here's the introduction of said bill or the draft I should say. Home Secretary Theresa May set to bring a new surveillance bill to the House of Commons this week she says it's very different from the so-called snoopers charter that was blocked by the last Parliament. That's good, the snoopers charter

2:38:12 was slang. Well, there was slang that people came up with and now it's being used by politicians to say oh it's not going to be like the Snoopers Charter which has you know such a loaded term thats no what is called but they're using that to say this legislation is gonna be great. Elizabeth Piper says May is seeking to reassure MPs and the public She said this time they will not have automatic access to the browsing history of people and also they will not require internet service providers to hold on to third-party data. She said any more intrusive actions would have to go for a warrant, would have to go either to a judge or to the interior minister herself for approval

2:38:54 The new bill, part of a national dispute over how to balance privacy and security. Campaigners say revelations of mass surveillance by the US and UK demonstrates the need for safeguards but the spies are making their case too... Well I think we've seen lately the intelligence services really mount quite an interesting charm offensive. They've allowed The Times to go into their headquarters, they have been explaining in quit some detail how they need to operate and how they haven't got the tools to do that in modern age to look at digital and mobile communications The watering down of the Snoopers charter may mark a partial victory for privacy campaigners, but the argument is far from settled. Well it has now been introduced and I have a bit from Theresa May telling us what it's not going to be! The task of law enforcement and security and intelligence agencies has become vastly more demanding in this digital age. Vastly more demanding? It is right therefore that those who are charged with protecting us should have powers they need to do so. Need power

2:39:58 need power. But it is the role of government and Parliament to ensure that there are limits to those powers. Oh, well keep a good lookout! So let me be clear the draft bill we are publishing today is not a return for draft Communications Data Bill 2012 It will not include powers to force UK companies to capture and retain third-party internet traffic from companies based overseas. Yeah, who cares? It will not compel overseas communications service providers to meet our domestic retention obligations for communications data... Unless they're located in the UK! And it will not ban encryption or do anything to undermine the security of people's data. Lie! And the substance of all recommendations by the Joint Scrutiny Committee which examined that draft bill have been accepted

2:40:42 So today's bill represents a significant departure from the proposals of the past. Today we are setting out a modern legal framework which brings together current powers in a clear and comprehensible way, A new bill that provides some of the strongest protections and safeguards anywhere in the democratic world And an approach that sets new standards for openness transparency and oversight Sounds like a great place to live! This new legislation will underpin the work of law enforcement and the security and intelligence agencies for years to come. It is their license to operate, with a democratic approval of Parliament to protect our national security and public safety. Intelligence work takes place within a strong legal framework We operate under the rule of law and are accountable for it

2:41:30 In some countries, secret intelligence is used to control their people. In ours it only exists to protect their freedoms. Protect your freedom baby! Protect your freedom! Alright here's a rundown... I have the document marked up in the show notes 771 to know a general stock on the quick rundown of what this means. It's not and she's not being very truthful, but she saying that now this is a draft so it's going to be debated the investigatory powers bill key points here we will require

2:42:06 They had used the term CSP in this document, which is being shortened everywhere else to web and phone companies. But it stands for communication service provider, which is quite broad. So it requires CSPs, which will just say web and phone companies to store records of websites visited by every citizen for 12 months for access by police security services and other public bodies. This means packet inspection from your ISP itself. So they will be pretty much almost like a transparent proxy... How do you get that? I'm reading it from the packet inspection. I'm saying this, yes it's going to be there inspecting well okay.. I thought that if you just have to keep a log you'd be good to go It's but you're proxying people's communication so you're analyzing what's going through it

2:43:03 Because you have they have to store the so I'm here on Time Warner cable and I went to The white house gov and that will be registered and Will be recallable or no better. I went to the Ted Kaczynski's Unabomber manifesto, and then he went to 4chan And I went to forge him and then you went to the White House yeah, and all of them and all of that will be read Oh show next week The new law makes explicit in law for the first time power for the security services, for bulk collection of personal communications data. Now this is what we've been...this is the metadata and that will be collected in bulk hands down no questions asked something that we don't need. We've kind of gotten away with although it's still searchable at the providers in the provider's databases

2:43:58 This makes explicit in law for the first time, the powers of security services to hack into computers place bugs put in keyboard sniffers and places a legal obligation on all companies who create devices that have encryption to provide a bypass. This is the big one that I think people are talking about, if not they should be you can have a device that encrypts data but by UK law if this gets into law and this draft is taken as-is the iPhone as an example if it's really true would be an illegal device since you need to be able to assist

2:44:47 the operations in bypassing any encryption. This is the big one, I don't know how they're going to do that but maybe we'll have a special jacked phone... UK edition of the iPhone! Special UK edition We have a special color for you in the UK So now they're putting up commissioners? I guess it's kind of like our FISA court seven judicial commissioners who will be given power of veto and they will be able to say, yes you can go install a bug in this person's computer or phone. Or you could use other snooping systems but of course just like we have if you have an urgent case yeah well then they'll let you slide and give you five days uh...to go ahead do whatever you want then there is oversight commission which will be three members we had no idea who these people would be

2:45:43 So, this onerous law...and you're gonna tell us a little more about it I guess. But it sounds onerous. Is this law being introduced because of all the terrorist attacks going on in London? Where are they blowing up a lot of stuff? Isn't it blowing, aren't they blowing stuff up left and right like the IRA? How come this didn't happen during the IRA era. I think you're missing a key point which is up to this bill which is just a draft that's not law yet We've been discussing the terminology intolerant and intolerance. This is part of this, and intolerance includes being negative... Oh, yes! Because they hate speakers? Yes! If you are negative or you speak out your vocal about... Something un-British. Yes British norms and values then these laws will apply to you

2:46:41 So heaven forbid you don't tweet, I'm just gonna tell you UK listeners do not ever tweet that you like hummus. Just don't do that because that's a sure sign of terrorism? It's a sure sign of being un-British! Okay. Finally, CSPs will be required to maintain permanent capabilities permanent capabilities to intercept and collect any data being sent through their networks so full on you know tapping in and sucking it off that came out reason to use a one of the remote proxies now that's yeah

CHAPTER 30 / 31 Discussion

Turkey Election Results, Erdogan Power Grab

Following a decisive election victory, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan calls for constitutional changes to grant the presidency executive powers. The hosts discuss the crackdown on dissenting media, including the arrest of editors from Nokta magazine, and the support Erdogan receives from rural Islamist voters.

turkey· recep tayyip erdogan· akp· constitution· press freedom

2:47:27 A VPN, I mean. I don't know if that's gonna save you that much but... Well it's gonna- I think VPNs are pretty interesting. It allows you to do poison pen letters easier And I guess finally we should at least mention Turkey's ruling AK party claiming a win in the country's general election. It gained almost 50 percent of the votes and enough seats to govern without a coalition that's just five months after it lost outright control at the previous election Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu quick to see change

2:48:03 AK wants to change the constitution to give President Tayyip Erdogan greater powers. Critics fear what he might do with such authority. Erdogan has cracked down on press and judicial freedoms, and all but scrapped efforts to make peace with the country's Kurdish minority The Council of Europe has denounced a win claiming that voting process was unfair. There you go I've got part two of that new constitution What? A new constitution is what I said. That's what he wants to do, he wants a new constitution. I got it here Now Turkey just days after winning an absolute majority in the general election Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called for constitutional change to give him even more powers

2:48:50 Now, under the current constitution the office of president is largely ceremonial. Erdogan wants to change that he wants to become an executive president similar to that of the President of The United States but many are worried this will have nothing to do with a balance of powers Sandro's applause for a president who is wasting no time. Three days after winning the election, President Erdogan is pressing for constitutional reform to extend presidential powers His Islamic conservative AKP wants to change Turkey's system of government. But the party lacks the needed votes in parliament, so the president is seeking support from others. I believe that political parties seeking to thwart this process should change their stance

2:49:41 Anyone who resists our people's wish for a new constitution, who tries to prevent it will be held accountable in the next elections in four years. Jail them! This is not going anywhere. This guy has total creepies and then EU is all-in with this joker. Play the second part of this The opposition fears that Erdogan could become an autocratic ruler. The president further vowed to press ahead with Turkey's bloody conflict with Kurdish PKK rebels, and the government is cracking down on dissenting media. On Tuesday two editors of news magazine Nokta were arrested for allegedly plotting a coup. They had called the AKP victory on their cover page the beginning of a civil war in Turkey

2:50:29 That edition of the magazine was withdrawn from shelves. This magazine has been shut down in the past, Turkey has become a country that cannot even tolerate an opposition magazine we're talking about a transition towards tyranny After regaining their absolute majority Erdoğan and the AKP feel stronger than ever Yeah, that's gonna be great. This is fantastic What I get is editors of a magazine plotting a coup what are they getting? What are these editors plotting a coup? They're not plotting anything now their editors for God's sake

2:51:12 It's not like the military. You got to remember it for anyone who doesn't understand Turkish politics, why this guy keeps getting in is because of the Islamist fundamentalists which were kind of banned from politics years ago and there was always a military that had to take over the country so they could put another guy in that wasn't an Islamist nutball like this guy and they get all their votes from this guys in the sticks is not for me to stand bull in anchora it's always peasants that live all over turkey then vote they don't we even want a government they won an islamic state because they're really kind of you know the toothless wonders that are out there voting uh... for all your notice is better uh... isn't this is just was bound to happen eventually i love them to free syrian army but put out a video

Larry Lessig, Campaign Exit and Outro

Harvard Law professor Larry Lessig ends his presidential campaign after the DNC changed debate qualification rules to exclude him. The hosts conclude the show with a summary of upcoming events and a final reminder of the "just getting by" theme of the current political era.

larry lessig· campaign finance· dnc· debates· outro

2:52:00 Of course, once again discovered by Rita Katz of the Site Intelligence Group. Wow! Yeah... of the Free Syrian Army congratulating Erdogan which is interesting because he's part of the scam yeah which is CIA and Defense Department to turn the whole place into a mess There was a good one. Did you know...so Larry Lessig, who is running for president? Yeah. Larry is...I know Larry. I know Larry. And he's a really smart naive person and his idea was run for president and then just get campaign finance reform to

2:52:41 in play, and then he quit. And turn it over to the vice president or whoever. It had to be the vice president by law. But his thing is like... I met him at this event recently so all of a sudden the problem is corruption, corruption, corruption and he kept winning on about but his idea.. He only goes about corruption at this most superficial level thinking they'll be solved by campaign finance reform but any No Agenda listener knows that's never gonna happen because as the polling results show you This is only the whole campaign churning of money is to benefit the media and they're not going to buy it either. But where real corruption lies, which is in the parties themselves he kind of ignores this but yet in this case he got totally screwed by it

2:53:28 Am I supposed to play a clip? Yeah, Lessig. I can't find it. Lessig shut out! Oh, I'm sorry it's LSS okay right its spelling Harvard Law professor Lawrence Lessig has ended his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination after the Democratic National Committee changed the rules for the debates Lessig launched his bid after raising a million dollars in a month. He said if he won the presidency, he would serve only as long as it took to pass sweeping campaign finance reform. But in a video message, Lessig said new rules would exclude him from next week's debate Until this week, the rule was three polls finding me at 1% in the six weeks prior to the debate. Last week we began to get close two polls found me at one percent one more and I would be in second debate under the original rule but under the new rule the standard is three polls at least six weeks before

2:54:24 the debate. That means I would have had to have qualified at the beginning of October, which means that nothing that happens now could matter under this new rule. I am just shut out." Surprise! There's your corruption right there. Yeah, that's the point and he's testing the corruption he ignores. All right Larry. Duh! We got to get out of here man Yeah, okay. Any football game I should be watching? There's nothing coming up you did if you watch the World Series You saw a great game and that was the end of the whole thing so that was the oh Did the Mets win the Kansas City team won as expected?
