CHAPTER 01 / 56 Discussion

BNSF Railway, Dirty Trains and Corporate Pride

A discussion regarding the lack of cleanliness on BNSF Railway trains and the California Zephyr. The observation is made that the engines are filthy and the logos are obscured by dirt, contrasting this with a past facility in Oakland that featured a massive train wash. The decline in maintenance is attributed to cost-cutting or a general lack of corporate pride within Warren Buffett's company.

00:00 No. Ha, he's our buddy! Adam Curry John C. Devorah It's Thursday November 12th 2015 time once again for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 773 This is no agenda The deportation forces and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star state here in FEMA region 6, Austin Texas. In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from northern Silicon Valley where i just saw the California Zephyr slide by John C. Dvorak It's crackpot and buzzkill Was it dirty? Actually, it was. The Zephyr? Yeah. All these trains are dirty every day. In fact the BNSF... You would think this is a line that was taken over since now it used to be just Western Pacific and then now somehow I don't know how the Santa Fe ended up on it but BNSF and Santa Fe they run their trains that up and down you'd think hmm that's the company Buffett's Company BNSF

01:05 would have some pride. Some! Not a little, just some. Just a smidgen. You can't even see the logo on these dirty engines they're just filthy They used to have a facility over in Oakland where all the trains went and kind of consolidated. And I remember when there was this giant washing machine, it was like a car wash thing only huge. Yeah. And they'd slide these trains through this car wash and it would...the train's come on because these passenger trains are particular made either kind of stainless steel or aluminum but stainless steel,

01:44 And they come out pretty clean. I think they tore that out because it probably cost too much or they didn't want to have to deal with recycling the water, I have no idea... Or they didn't care which is what maybe I should be saying. They don't care! They don't care. They don't care! Of course they don't care I'm talking about all the BNSF stuff, the rail stuff The engines go by like mad It's a disgrace, it is a disgrace I tell you You need to have some pride in your own company Before we get this show underway, a disclaimer trigger warning, trigger warning!

No Agenda Trigger Warnings, Chris Wilson Production

The show opens with a series of satirical trigger warnings produced by Chris Wilson. These warnings mock modern safe space culture by warning listeners of potential "anal leakage" or feeling like a "douchebag" for not donating. The hosts establish the podcast as a "safe space" for their audience.

CHAPTER 03 / 56 Discussion

Donald Trump, Deportation Forces and Operation Wetback

Donald Trump's debate performance regarding illegal immigration and his proposal for a "deportation force" is analyzed. The media's reaction, specifically Mika Brzezinski's comparison of the policy to historical precedents, is highlighted. The discussion explores Trump's reference to Dwight Eisenhower’s 1954 "Operation Wetback" and the Bracero program, questioning whether Trump's rhetoric is a calculated strategy to win over legal Hispanic voters or simply an improvised stance.

donald trump· mika brzezinski· dwight eisenhower· operation wetback· immigration policy

03:27 Your safe space. It's your safe space do you feel safe well after seeing the debates necessarily Yeah, I watched I had to and of course did you get any clips? You know what I thought was more interesting was the analysis afterwards for media which is more fun to deconstruct Okay, and actually I was just clipping a fi- because I was trying to figure out where this meme all of the sudden came from. Well, actually we know where it came from Donald Trump is either incredibly stupid or incredibly smart. I'm not sure yet But this is about his stance in the debate about deporting anyone who's here illegally What was your feeling about that?

04:25 Well actually here, let me play it. This is just for people who haven't heard it. We are a country of laws we need borders we will have a wall the wall wil be built the wall will be successful and if you think walls don't work all you have to do is ask Israel The Wall works believe me properly done Can you just send 5 million people back with no effect on the economy? You're gonna have to bring people, you're gonna have to send people out. Look- So what will you do? We are a country of laws. Laws! We either have a country or we don't have a country. We are a country of laws that I have to go out and they'll come back but they're gonna have to go out and hopefully they get back. I love this sequence They're going to have to go out but they can come back But they're gonna have to go out And hopefully they can come back

05:15 but we have no choice if we're going to run our country properly and if we're going to be a country. So what this resulted in is two things, first we had you know of course Donald Trump said oh this is what Dwight Eisenhower did everyone like Ike and immediately the nickname for Dwight Eisenhower's deportation got attached to Donald Trump which was Operation Wetback Yeah, yeah. They were all over this operation way back then... Is this guy totally stupid or has he figured out that this is a good thing to do? I mean surely if you're going to bring up Dwight Eisenhower's deportation which if you look into it really was at the urging of the Mexican government and they were intimately and integrally involved in their involvement

06:14 Of course, it wasn't called Operation Wetback. That was slang but then just to take it one step further... Hold on the woman that came on the news hour claimed It was indeed called Operation Wetback now I haven't looked into that well. She's kind of a douchebag. Yeah, I only look what was part of the Was it Bruss? Brassero? Brachiero program? Brassero. That was that well, I don't think so Well is an outflow is what this is what Wikipedia a book of knowledge and we're gonna have to do our own research because apparently nobody's getting this right but the bracerro program which was they had made a big stink about

06:57 the Bracero program, because I vaguely remember this. I was...I don't know how old but as a kid and but i remember the Bracero program because it came in to play- It was bus loads of Mexicans brought up from Mexico to pick tomatoes or to pick grapes or to pick stuff and then they got on their buses after they were done with their two or three weeks work and shipped back to Mexico But then it was because we were starving and we needed laborers to help with food during World War II. That would this Bracero program goes through World War 2? I believe so And it had to do with poop Poop, what did I miss something? You said poop! I didn't say poop Did I say poop? So they came down here because we're starving and we need the help with poop

07:52 Well, I didn't mean... Did i say poop? I thought so. I don't think I said poop. Oh rewind! No, I'm not gonna rewind. I guess you can't rewind. I don't care. It doesn't matter but then it was the Mexican government according to what I found about Operation Webpack who said okay now we gotta get these people back and we'll help you and it seems like it didn't go too well But the thing that got me is then Mika Brzezinski launches, I haven't found it anywhere else but she launches this meme. Is this guy nuts?

08:41 Can't save you if you're gonna say deportation force. Why don't you just hand out our bands? That's nuts I Mean that's the media is good. Yeah, they didn't know what to make of it Mika launches at one thing but now it's everywhere all everyone's talking I know everyone got on board with that like The only thing I can think Is that somehow he has some research? That says the Hispanics or Mexicans, let's just say Mexicans who are in the United States legally will endear Donald Trump for doing this. That's all I can think of otherwise what a what a canard! What a stupid thing to say. I'm thinking more along the more conniving side of it. Okay alright talk to me...I just don't see any evidence that.. I mean he started off with this it's almost as though his whole goal for running for president

09:41 was to just draw attention to this problem. And it's, I would say he's done his job... Adam- Well there are two things here. It is veterans? He loves the veterans by the way! I love the veterans! I love the veterans! It is that and immigration. But why?! Why would he be interested in doing all of this if it was only to launch these two pieces of controversy? That's the mystery. Yeah, exactly because I have no idea it doesn't really have anything to do this business that I can tell you he hires a lot of Mexicans to do his construction yeah and I have no idea spending there's always been it's been it's a mystery yes It is but but no matter what this

10:31 Don't know there must be a strategy. I'm not understanding because this is this it's just not language you just well There was those the strategy that you're not understanding Is that he we to me at least I could be wrong? Hmm, I think he wings it yes I agree and so he just lets the strategy happen So like I don't say you can look for a strategy right but to sit there and and oh mimic Mika Brzezinski's term of deportation forces, that's just lunacy. He doesn't care! Nowhere does he... Does not care. Well there is a... I thought the debate was incredibly boring. I actually... comparing the talk radio guys

CHAPTER 04 / 56 Discussion

GOP Debate Analysis, John Kasich and Carly Fiorina

The hosts critique the performances of John Kasich and Carly Fiorina during the Republican primary debate. Kasich is described as a disruptive presence on stage, while Fiorina is criticized for her aggressive foreign policy stances. Fiorina's proposal for a no-fly zone in Syria and her refusal to speak with Vladimir Putin are deconstructed as "war-mongering" rhetoric that ignores Russia's existing military presence and alliances in the region.

john kasich· carly fiorina· syria· vladimir putin· no-fly zone

11:18 To my experience, and I experienced it twice because I had to watch it while getting the clips. And then I had to edit the clips. Right? And I end up with a lot of stuff like this. This Kasich WTF clip. This is just to me they got to do something that they gotta get rid of Carly. They gotta get rid of Kasich. I'm almost of the opinion that Kasich's only on the stage to disrupt Trump. Huh! I like him I don't like him at all. He's always butting in, he thinks he owns the place, he has this dour look and here is a good example of this case in WTF clip. Let us talk about the international economy... Mr Baker, everybody got to talk about taxes! We really need to move on Governor. I think you were coming to me until they... Look, I hate to crash the party Mr Baker but what is fair? Mr Trump can I ask you about the US...

12:14 But you know, he has the most compassion. He's a dick! Okay... And Carly? Carly is worse than any of these people who count the interruptions. She was the worst for it. They had a couple of those too but The thing that still bothers me about her more than anything and this audience was not much of a help anytime anyone said anything about Carly, they'd boo him. And then when Carly came on they give this rousing applause for all her war mongering! She wants to get us all killed! She's pretty out there with the killing isn't she? Yeah let's play a clip again. Play Carly won no-fly zone. Oh yeah here she goes... You know Mr Trump vanties himself as a very good negotiator

13:06 and I accept that he's done a lot of good deals. So Mr Trump ought to know that we should not speak to people from my position of weakness, Senator Paul should know that as well one of the reasons i've said that I would not be talking Vladimir Putin right now although I have met him is well not in a green room for show but in a private meeting One of the reasons I've said that I wouldn't be talking to Vladimir Putin right now is because we are speaking to him from a position of weakness brought on by this administration. So, I wouldn't talk to him for awhile but I would do this...I would start rebuilding the 6th Fleet right under his nose, rebuilding the military missile defense program in Poland

13:49 right under his nose. I would conduct very aggressive military exercises in the Baltic states so that he understood we would protect our NATO allies and would be allies, and i might also put in a few more thousand troops into Germany not to start a war but to make sure that Putin understands that the United States of America will stand with our allies. That is why Governor Bush is correct, we must have a no-fly zone in Syria because Russia cannot tell the United States of America where and when to fly our planes. Let me let me ask you this They have a...their ally is Syria, they're buddies with Syria. That's their ally. They're in there into Syria by invitation or into northern Iraq by invitation.

14:37 And she says Russia can't tell us where to fly our planes, but it's okay for us to tell Russia. America! What are you talking about? This is not a country that we have any involved... We don't have any relationship with Syria and yet were flying around bomb them, bomb them and bomb them again. part of her speech Carly too that followed on what she just said. Understand ISIS is their fight but they must see leadership support and resolve from the United States of America and we must have the strongest military on the face of the planet and everyone has to know it.

15:32 Well, isn't that kind of what America defaults to? If we don't see any other way out of something and just close our eyes and go, man, we'll kill him. Now the thing that came up also is with her and Bush is this all we got to do this...we gotta spend more money on the military. Our military budget- Yeah it's 10 times bigger than everyone else put together at $640 billion dollars. It's outrageous! The thing that... Yes, yet we're this is I guess because we spend almost a trillion dollars on the military yearly and it keeps going up. It goes up every year when they talk about cutting it back they talk about cutting the going-up part back. But John its our economy that's what our economy runs on look at our vehicles they are all based on military designs personnel carriers this is what we do

CHAPTER 05 / 56 Discussion

Ben Carson, Media Hit Job and Bush Campaign Strategy

The sudden surge in negative media coverage surrounding Ben Carson's biography is characterized as a coordinated "hit job." Speculation arises that the Bush campaign or the Rubio camp may be behind the leaks to eliminate a high-polling outsider. The hosts suggest that the established political machines of the Clintons and Bushes are the primary beneficiaries of Carson's declining credibility.

ben carson· jeb bush· marco rubio· media scrutiny· political hit job

16:30 Well, it's costing us money. We also sell a lot of that stuff you know? Yes we do. Heaven forbid anybody else get in that business Did you have the idea that this... and I'm sure you have other things to talk about what happened in debate but It seemed to me that this hit job on Ben Carson, which was clearly coordinated. It rolled out over the weekend pretty much and then just erupted into this... it seems like there's only three people who could have been responsible for that one is Donald Trump

17:07 Which, you know if you think about conniving. You know he's made dumb buddy-buddy hey Ben let's boycott this we'll work together It looks like that right yeah He wants to take him out then the second one why he doesn't have that style do you think he would well the second possibility is Rubio who of course now has some new billion dollar sugar daddy backer so he's got me oh maybe there was something there but Really? I think it was probably the Bush camp because if you look at the numbers... They have a machine. Yeah, and eliminating someone is going to behoove Bush! Yes So to me it seemed like that was really

17:48 really a hit. There are two machines that are in the game, one of them is the Clinton machine and the other one's the Bush machine which is the two power operations and that would be most likely to do this because they're just you know... He was being interviewed by somebody about some of this stuff written in their strategy statements internally so he doesn't read any of that stuff And the guy wanted to read something to him on one of his shows. It was an ABC show, it says actually... The clip is still around. It's ABC which is from the promoters of Bush and he actually threw this sheet back at him that the guy at The Reporter said well let me read it to you now and then throws them back. Wait do you have this clip somewhere? You have it! What's it called I think its has ABC Bush and it's the most recent I think was from last week or the week before

CHAPTER 06 / 56 Discussion

Marc Lamont Hill, Ben Carson and the Self-Made Myth

CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill's critique of Ben Carson is examined. Hill argues that the "self-made person" is a myth and that Carson’s narrative of individual success through faith and hard work is used to undermine the social safety net. The hosts discuss how this narrative is perceived by different voter demographics and the media's role in framing Carson's religious identity.

marc lamont hill· cnn· ben carson· self-made man· welfare state

18:42 ABC Bush not seeing it. It's nothing with ABC Bush. Well, that is not ABC Bush is something ABC still supporting Bush or ABC brings Bush back into play or something like that? Okay, can't find it. Sorry Allow me to just play three quick clips about Concerning the Ben Carson hit job yeah because it spread pretty wide So first we have CNN this is one of their political Commentators Mark Lamont Hill I've no idea who he is that the greatest lie what? Mark Lamont Hill as a former professor and

19:31 who they used to...who Hannity, I'm pretty sure it's Hannity mostly. And I think once in a while O'Reilly used to bring on as a fast-talking left wing black who could hold his own against anybody especially O'Reilly and he got so full of himself. I think he quit his professorship and now is at full time analyst on these networks Yes, certainly for CNN. The greatest lie in American history is the myth of the self-made person nobody makes themselves We're all shaped by our communities. Obama I love this Obama meme it's actually Elizabeth Warren started it

20:10 You'll recall. She's the one that started that at one of those little Democrat house parties and she was saying, who built the roads? Who build the bridges? That's taxpayer money by people who struggled and sacrificed for us by governments that offer safety nets. Who'd struggle than sacrifice for you John please please tell me My parents it doesn't matter you're not a self-made man. Don't worry about it And what Ben Carson is able to do essentially is reject all that stuff? I think Carson's able to say I was saved by Jesus and hard work That allows him to reject the safety net that allows him to push back against expansion of a welfare state that allows them To resist tax cuts for the middle class in the poor attacks heights

20:48 for the wealthy. It allows him to create an entire narrative and when people say, hey wait a minute why are you doing this? Ben Carson can say hey because I did it myself and it makes white voters feel comfortable to say that look this black guy himself is telling you more. To be clear here guys I gotta wrap it up. That's an interesting concept that the strategy of being religious in a presidential race is so you can just say hey I didn't rely on anything but my creator and God and then according to this guy white people like that Fascinating. Then we had the news hour and I'm going to presume just knowing how television news works that they let or they said, hey Gwen you've got to do this story because if we can't have a white person taking down Ben Carson well then we gotta black person! And she's nervous did you see this her take-down of Ben Carson?

CHAPTER 07 / 56 Discussion

Gwen Ifill, PBS NewsHour and Ben Carson Scrutiny

Gwen Ifill's reporting on Ben Carson for the PBS NewsHour is analyzed, with the hosts noting her apparent nervousness during the segment. The discussion covers the level of scrutiny applied to Carson's personal history compared to past candidates like Bill Clinton or Barack Obama. The hosts argue that there is a double standard in how the media treats Carson versus Hillary Clinton's various controversies.

gwen ifill· pbs newshour· ben carson· bill clinton· media bias

21:41 I did...I don't think so. And she's so nervous doing it! Gwen, you've been on the trail a long time. Gwen, you're black. You can do the story. A long time over the years personal stories. Thanks, thanks. No no no no. I mean... And your old? Okay. It's nasty. Gwen, you've been on the trail a long time over the years personal stories. Thanks, thanks. No no no no. I mean... and I guess that What a laugh she has. I never realized that. I never heard her laugh. She is pretty nasty It's very bad. It was a bad laugh. Oh man! Alright, onward. To me the danger for Dr. Carson is the fact that his candidacy is built on biography and built on honesty

22:23 It is built on saying this is who I am, these are my bootstraps and we all admire that. The interesting thing about people of the outsiders we talked about so much is that they also surprised what it takes to run for president and what it takes to run for president scrutiny when Dr. Carson says there has never been scrutiny like there's been directed at him that is just not so. Trike, trast, uh. We were all there when Bill Clinton went through the whole thing with killing Vince Foster with the airstrip in Mana Arkansas. All true! Still we're talking about Barack Obama's birth certificate.

23:13 Years after he was president, there's always this scrutiny and each and every one of time those folks hated it. They complained that they felt like victims And of course this is the way Dr. Carson who has great self-regard as he deserves to because he accomplished his objection to the double standard This week there is the NDA story in The Free Beacon There is the story of Taneo refusing to answer Mrs Clinton is not being covered in the same way Ben Carson would be covered. And Mrs. Clinton would say you know what? that That was that's bad. I'm no, it's all right borderline come on border like the day That's really a good clip now take a border line from you. No problem All right then we have The view as you know I believe the view is incredibly important to our culture Looking at the ratings

CHAPTER 08 / 56 Discussion

The View, Ben Carson and ABC Media Bias

The hosts critique a segment from "The View" where the panelists mock Ben Carson, suggesting his book should be moved to the fiction section. This is linked back to the theory that ABC (owned by Disney) is actively protecting the Bush campaign by attacking outsiders. The hosts argue that the coordinated nature of these attacks across different networks points to a broader media strategy.

the view· whoopi goldberg· ben carson· abc news· disney

24:16 Many many women watch the show and get their news from the view and believe they do And it's a sad state of affairs last month Baltimore police couldn't verify that he was held at gunpoint He said that the gin spoke to General Westmore Memorial Day, but the general wasn't in Baltimore at that time There's too many things against him. He needs to hear this thing Do you really think I mean? He's a retired neurosurgeon he performed the first surgery. Are you enjoying twins no I'm just saying, like does he really strike you guys as a pathological liar? I think most people will say no. He's not even a liar! I don't think he is a liar. I do think they should put his book in the fiction section if you remember when James Cray

24:51 Thank you when James Frey wrote a million little pieces and Oprah had him on it was his story And then I was revealed actually him a new one He sure did and guess what? His book was moved from nonfiction to the cat in the hat, and I think we should do the same with Ben Carson What a bunch of bigots. Cat in the Hat is great though that's a good line. The lines are good But it's like, they're written lines. I mean this is like... Oh no that's written. Since we're The View we don't have to really adhere to any sort of ethics No, of course not So let's just rip this guy Yes! That's the point It's a coordinated attack There's no doubt Is that on ABC The View? I think it is isn't it

25:29 I'm pretty sure that would make sense. Oh, if it's ABCs on the yeah That'll make more than enough sense because dad again puts it back into the purview of the wishes its ABC Yeah So that wouldn't be so them okay that puts us right in line with our thinking yeah The Bush is they got a machine ABC is a big supporter of Bush which I now I'm gonna have to go look Because they own Disney they own Disney Florida. Yeah governor for the whole thing yep And every time, and I've been still watching ABC. And every time anything comes up it's always Bush could have 1%. They do a 10-minute interview with him. Why? What are you thinking down to one percent for? Well... You suck! People don't understand what I'm up to. Well what are you up to? And then he goes on and on with his ideas as they say oh that's fantastic. I'd be surprised if your at 1% you should be a lot higher. You know I keep getting the suspicion is just creeping up on me

CHAPTER 09 / 56 Discussion

Jeb Bush, Farsightedness and Creepy Glasses

A brief tangent regarding Jeb Bush's physical appearance on the debate stage. The hosts discuss how his glasses make his eyes appear unnaturally large due to his farsightedness, which they claim creates a "creepy" or "alien" look. They contrast this with how women often use makeup to mitigate the magnifying effects of corrective lenses.

jeb bush· glasses· farsightedness· optics· appearance

26:25 that, and here it comes at the end of the day. It's going to be Clinton against Bush." Is that disgusting? It really is. Well, Bush is still performing poorly on debate stage and he's eating...it's got to be bugging him. He looks like an idiot with because he's farsighted I've said this before When you're farsighted, when you wear glasses to correct your vision they're magnifiers. That's just the nature of them and so your eyes are bigger than they would be normally. Yeah it looks creepy And it looks creepy! It looks like that one guy on stage with big giant alien eyes and he's looking around However John however... He's too tall However when Tina The Keeper wears her glasses she doesn't look creepy

27:13 She's a farsighted. Most women are. Yeah, no most women aren't it's a good thing yeah It is hey baby objects may appear bigger in the mirror And then when they have their glasses off, which is a lot of times you can't see if you're even wrinkled. They can't even see it. You gotta feel around to find your face. Unfortunately I'm near-sighted and by the way women because they wear makeup around their eyes it looks great when they have the glasses on but Bush just looks like a creep up there. Oh yeah It all works out Yeah

CHAPTER 10 / 56 Discussion

Charlie Rose, Giselle Bündchen and Flirting

A short audio clip of Charlie Rose flirting with supermodel Giselle Bündchen is played. The hosts mock Rose's behavior, labeling him a "horn dog" for his comments about her beauty during an interview.

27:51 There was a very disturbed and I want to come while we're at it. Okay play the Charlie Rose on being pretty ISO You begin to think inside, I'm pretty Because there's some people who never believe they're free because growing up they never thought they were pretty That uh what the hell is that all about? He is flirting with Giselle Bündchen Oh Oh, what a... he's such a horn dog. Good ISO. Thank you! Good ISO. Hey something that relates to this there was a report that came out and I caught on the BBC

CHAPTER 11 / 56 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, Dementia Signs and the Strangle Joke

A discussion regarding Hillary Clinton's health and her reaction to a supporter's comment about wanting to "strangle" Carly Fiorina. The hosts reference a BBC report suggesting a warped sense of humor can be a sign of dementia. They argue that Clinton's "crazy laugh" and her failure to condemn the violent imagery used against Fiorina highlight a double standard in political discourse.

hillary clinton· carly fiorina· dementia· humor· media double standards

28:37 An increasing warped sense of humor could be an early warning sign of impending dementia. Yeah, I saw that too! That went around the Twitters. Yeah so first of all i'm very concerned about us Let's be honest. But then how about this? And she says, she is a great CEO every time I see her on TV I want to reach through and strangle her You know that doesn't sound very nice but... I wouldn't mess with you! I think she has dementia Who? Hillary Clinton

29:17 Oh yeah. She's laughing about the guy saying he wants to strangle Carly Fiorina, which was immediately used as a double standard I thought the joke was funny it was just that it was a funny joke What was the joke? There was no joke involved The guy said every single time I hear Carly Fiorina I just want to strangle her That's what kind of a joke is that Yeah they would...the way he said it was funny Well there was a funny thing to say maybe but this not a joke Okay, joke has structure. Yeah okay? It wasn't a joke you're right it was a Humorous commentary found amusing yeah well that's different But it wasn't all that bad, but I'm just worried about Clinton. I think she bumped her head Yeah, and she has brain damage and now she's got crazy laughs Which is play the nasty little laugh this isn't okay, where's nasty little laugh oh

30:14 I don't see nasty little laugh. What you know the laughs that laughs oh, you mean her life? Oh i'm sorry yeah That's bpa man she's got bpa There's medication for it she might have bpa there's medication for it Don't worry about it wouldn't be the first thing she's taken Alright, continue with your report. to the accusation. We should, I think it's particularly naive and particularly foolish to think that we're not going to talk to Russia. The idea of a no-fly zone realize that this is also something Hillary Clinton agrees with several on our side with you're asking for a no fly zone in an area in which Russia already flies. Russia flies in that zone at the invitation of Iraq

31:15 I'm not saying it's a good thing, but you better know at least what we're getting into. So when you think it's going to be a good idea To have a no-fly zone of Iraq realize that means you are saying We are going to shoot down Russian planes if you're ready for that Be ready to send your sons and daughters to another war in Iraq. I don't want to see that happen I think the first war in Iraq was a mistake You can be strong without being involved in every civil war around the world. Ronald Reagan was strong, but Ronald Reagan didn't send troops into the Middle East. And Ronald Reagan walked away at Reykjavik. He walked away... Can I finish with my time? ...when it was time to quit talking? Why does she keep interrupting everybody? Has that turned into a misogynistic comment yet?

CHAPTER 12 / 56 Discussion

Rand Paul, No-Fly Zones and Middle East Policy

Rand Paul's debate stance against a no-fly zone in Syria is highlighted. Paul argues that enforcing such a zone would require shooting down Russian planes, potentially leading to a third world war. The hosts praise Paul for his non-interventionist approach and his critique of the "naive" foreign policy strategies proposed by other candidates.

Can I finish with my time? ...when it was time to quit talking? Why does she keep interrupting everybody? Has that turned into a misogynistic comment yet?

32:03 I've been waiting for that. Not yet, but it has to be. Just waiting for it. Yeah, I'd like to finish my response basically. Now was the crowd booing Trump for a misogynistic comment? Did Carly just have all her shills in there? That's what it sounded like to me There was a they had a good ground game. They got maybe there up in Wisconsin What kind of shills would you have in Milwaukee? Maybe you can bust them in bus them in This is an incredibly important question and the question goes to be who do we want to be our commander-in-chief Do not you

32:46 Twerp, not you. I want a commander in chief who says something that we never did throughout the entire Cold War to discontinue having conversations with the Russians. I'm not happy about them flying over there but i'm not naive enough to say well Iraq has them flying over their airspace and were just going to announce it were shooting them down? That is naive to the point of being something you might hear in junior high but its scary... But if your're not going to respond in an No Fly Zone strategy what would yours be The first thing I would do is, I wouldn't arm our enemies. I wouldn't arm ISIS. Yeah... Alright Well let's talk about something television wise About this particular show Okay Uh-I love the floor! I love it when they have the high gloss floor that you know that makes for a great shot Overuse of star filters every single time they came back from a commercial break Like how long? Is this 1970 we're using star filter on your lens

CHAPTER 13 / 56 Discussion

GOP Debate Production, Maria Bartiromo and British Moderators

The production quality of the Fox Business debate in Milwaukee is critiqued. The hosts complain about the "crappy venue," the overuse of star filters on camera lenses, and Maria Bartiromo's hair and makeup. They also express annoyance at the inclusion of a British moderator in an American presidential debate.

maria bartiromo· fox business· gop debate· milwaukee· production quality

33:44 This is like, that was very peculiar. That was very... I was laxed So a crappy venue doesn't at all give a grandiose impression It's you know it's a theater it's hard to make that look really big. It's a crappy little... The Great Milwaukee, but it's the theater needs to be redone And personally I felt that Maria Bartiromo hair was just off It had just awful no wasn't awful But it she had this one on the on the left-hand side or for us right? Which is the big flap but like a big flap hanging down and then her eyes. She you know she does she Clearly had eyelashes on but she had them all clumped together I didn't like now, I didn't like it at all if he has beautiful eyes, which is I don't know it's like where's the crimping tool girl use that and then

34:37 There was another problem that I had. The Brugo and then there's a British guy? Well, yeah! Get that guy out of our system! It felt really wrong to have some British guy asking questions for an American presidential debate. Yeah as if we need approval from the British. Oh the British monarchists yes... I'm just gonna be real douche about it. I don't want that You are a douche about it but I agree with you. Yeah I don't like that. Go away We have Americans questioning at question time for the prime minister? No. I've never seen that. I don't think so. All right, well onward... Let's play here is another one this actually I got two Rubio clips

CHAPTER 14 / 56 Discussion

Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton, Verbal Gaffes

The hosts play clips of verbal slips by Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton. Rubio accidentally states that the most important job is being "president" instead of "parent," while Clinton makes a gaffe regarding "former presidents" not having to declare criminal history when discussing "ban the box" legislation for ex-convicts.

marco rubio· hillary clinton· gaffes· ban the box· presidential slips

35:20 Here's the short one, it's actually in ISO. He's going on about parenting and the most important job is to be a parent and the most important job is to be a parent to your kids but what's he really thinking on this clip? Rubio on The Most Important Job. The most important job any of us will ever do is the job of being a president because the most important institution in society is the faculty. Now I heard that one too and it's always, if you... no agenda producers and listeners we're aware so we hear this kind of stuff then you can hear the room almost go

35:56 But then no one says, excuse me you meant parent but you said president. You know like Hillary, you meant... The Hillary one's even better do you have that queued up? I could get it to almost like it was Hillary That's absolutely a 10 Yeah we can get that yeah here it is 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

36:44 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 I might have it ISO somewhere actually but yeah alright let's go on so here's an ask Adam this is It's one of my rhetorical bullcrap questions. Well, it doesn't matter. Is the Rubio on military? Oh I don't get to play my jingo? Play that. A radical Jihadist in the Middle East beheading people and crucifying Christians! A radical Shia cleric in Iran trying to get a nuclear weapon

CHAPTER 15 / 56 Discussion

Marco Rubio, Military Spending and Audit Failures

Marco Rubio's call for increased military spending is challenged. The hosts point out that the U.S. already spends over $600 billion annually, more than most other nations combined, yet still faces global threats. They argue that the Defense Department's inability to pass an audit suggests massive waste and that simply throwing more money at the military-industrial complex is ineffective.

marco rubio· military budget· defense department· audit· pentagon

37:30 The Chinese taking over the South China Sea. Yes, I believe the world is a safer... No no, I don't believe! I know that the world is a safer and better place when America has the strongest military power in the world. He goes on and on about China's doing this, and they're getting a bomb in Iran.

38:12 Ukraine, Russia's pushing us around all these things. And so he knows that if we were a powerful country we wouldn't have these things and we are! We are spending a fortune on the military and all this is going on around us what I would say well what you've just described apparently with all the money we're spending which is more than every other country combined All of them, China Russia put them all together not as much as us. With all this money we're spending to be the most powerful country in the world and all these things are going around it round and around that are happening is horrible things It's apparently not doing us any good How do you respond to that Mr Rubio? Is that a question for me? Yes

39:03 To me it's apparent. Of the $640 billion we spend annually on the military-industrial complex, I'm pretty sure maybe only 60 billion actually turns into stuff The rest is probably squandered stolen funneled away put into projects that don't do anything So maybe were weaker than we think We just spent a lot of crazy money on it because we have not audited any of this That's right, the Defense Department. They can't audit it. It's too hard! We can't afford the number of accountants it would take. How hard would it be? $600 billion, we don't have any companies that size. The biggest... I don't know who the biggest company is in terms of sales. But say out at those companies and maybe just need 10 times as many people. I'm sure there's 60 billion dollars. I don't know what Exxon is but it's probably up there. If you have a company making 60 billion and you need to profit losses which the military doesn't have to do- But you know what? Your point has made this point over the past several episodes. Yeah well

40:07 Yeah, we spend a lot on military. Got it? I got it! Well, I know but when these guys come up and say crap like this... This reminds me of the other thing that's going on which is oh this crazy big terrorism thing took place in a country that is surveillance central everything's being surveilled but they can't stop anything yeah what good is it well why even spend that money Do I have anything else here? I did want to mention that NBC published a statement and they said that any official candidate who qualifies is entitled to 12 minutes and 5 seconds of airtime in the same slot, the same time slot that Donald Trump got for Saturday Night Live. Okay

CHAPTER 16 / 56 Discussion

NBC Equal Time Rule, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton

A report on NBC's compliance with the "equal time rule" following Donald Trump's appearance on Saturday Night Live. Other candidates are entitled to approximately 12 minutes of airtime. The hosts note that a similar offer was made after Hillary Clinton's cameo, though few candidates took advantage of it. They predict Bernie Sanders will soon appear on the show alongside Larry David.

nbc· equal time rule· donald trump· hillary clinton· saturday night live

41:01 Interestingly, although this was not reported and we didn't discuss it either. NBC also previously issued a statement for I think it was a five minute or maybe three minutes and 25 second time slot because Hillary Clinton did her cameo. Right she did yeah well so I'm just, no it's just because we talked about the... I don't know where that's headed. The equal time rule? Yeah. Eh, I don't think anyone was going to take him up on it. No one took him up on Hillary's five minutes! They should have, Bernie should've gotten on. Well maybe they're still going after that. Oh and you know what, here is a prediction if not this Saturday next Saturday, Bernie Sanders on Saturday Night Live with Larry David

CHAPTER 17 / 56 Discussion

Donald Trump, Syria and the World's Policeman

Donald Trump's foreign policy comments regarding Russia's involvement in Syria are analyzed. Trump expresses support for Putin attacking ISIS and argues that the U.S. should stop acting as the "world's policeman" while its own infrastructure crumbles. The hosts discuss the debate ratings and the public's engagement with Trump's "America First" rhetoric.

donald trump· syria· isis· vladimir putin· infrastructure

41:55 I'll do it, yeah. You can see the skit coming. Oh no that's coming! Yeah you can see the skit coming for sure. That's like Sarah Palin and Tina Fey. Exactly All right, anything else on the debate? Well the Trump on Syria clip I didn't want to be played that No, I can play that for you once made a lead-in or are you good to go? I think it's I can't think of what it's about But if Putin wants to go and knock the hell out of Isis I am all for it 100% And I can't understand how anybody would be against not do they blew up hold it. They blew up wait a minute Wait a minute

42:31 a Russian airplane. He cannot be in love with these people, he's going in and we can go in and everybody should go in as far as Ukraine is concerned We have a group of people and a group of countries including Germany tremendous economic behemoth Why are we always doing the work? I'm all for protecting Ukraine and working, but we have countries that are surrounding the Ukraine that aren't doing anything. They say keep going, keep going you dummies! Keep going protect... And what is that bell? That stupid bell that means you're private. It's a game show bell! It's an insult to get smart, we can't continue to be the policemen of the world We owe 19 trillion dollars, we have a country that is going to hell... ...we have infrastructure falling apart our roads our bridges our schools our airports and we have to start investing money in our country Donald is wrong on this he is absolutely wrong

43:34 We're not going to be the world's policeman, but we sure as heck better be the world's leader. There is a huge difference where without us leading voids are filled and it is good idea for Putin to be in Syria let ISIS take out Assad and then Putin will take out ISIS that like a board game thats like playing Monopoly or something thats no how real world works there is need for rescue mission when the world is threatened if the world needs help it calls on America And that's the story. That is the story? Yep I don't know, overnight ratings put it at 13.5 million viewers that's an 8.9 rating which is just a little bit under CNBC's Yeah but yeah that's because CNBC and Fox Business have to people don't have that that's a subscription It's just no Oh but I'm not saying anything other than

44:39 First of all it's huge. This is bigger than I think any debates yeah, that's because we're really tuned in somewhat lively even though you have these two interrupters who are more and more convinced or planted Why is Casey given up to he's got no chance at anything? He's got no machine. He's got me just a stooge like him I think he's a dick Okay, I'm fine. That's this is this is what we're allowed to do in America See I don't have to call you out as a crazy guy just because you have a different opinion I don't think there's anything else that said that's my summary nothing yeah, nothing I do have the ISO which I think it's funny Which is the? Where's the other eye so oh

CHAPTER 18 / 56 Discussion

Jeb Bush, Tax Reform and Economic Growth

Jeb Bush's response to a question about tax reform is critiqued for being evasive and poorly constructed. Bush discusses shifting power away from Washington and aiming for 4% economic growth, but the hosts argue he struggles to articulate a clear vision compared to his competitors.

jeb bush· tax reform· economic growth· gop debate

45:30 Or actually, play Bush on taxes. We'll finish with that. Governor Bush, Republican primary voters say tax reform should be a priority for Congress and the administration... Okay stop! This is a yes or no question he's asked and what do you think he does? Do you think he answers this question? No why would he?! And so he goes on and on and then I had to cut it off because it was just like okay you're just full of crap Governor Bush, Republican primary voters say tax reform should be a priority for Congress and the administration. But Governor Bush how important is tax reform in your domestic policy agenda? Will you guarantee it in the first year of your presidency

46:16 I'm going to fight as hard as i can, to make sure that we shift power away from Washington. Simplify the tax code To spur economic activity in this country Of course it's the highest priority If we don't do that We're stuck with a new normal of 2% growth Hillary Clinton says basically...we just gotta get used to it! Two percent growth means declining income for the middle class It means more than six million people are stuck in poverty Than on the day Barack Obama was inaugurated It means more demands on government on the day? He can't really construct a sentence compared to some of these other guys. I do want to play, now that i think about it one more clip. Alright. Only because this is short. These clips are pretty short This is the cruise clip where he starts to moan about sugar cane subsidies out of the blue. I know why! We all know why Oh really? Yeah

CHAPTER 19 / 56 Discussion

Ted Cruz, Sugar Subsidies and Corporate Welfare

Ted Cruz's attack on sugar subsidies during the debate is identified as a targeted strike against Marco Rubio, who has ties to the sugar industry in Florida. Cruz frames the subsidies as "corporate welfare" that bankrolls lobbying efforts. The hosts discuss the corruption inherent in these industry protections and the likelihood of a Bush vs. Clinton general election.

ted cruz· sugar subsidies· corporate welfare· marco rubio· lobbying

47:11 Okay, let's listen to it. But I want to hear why from you and i'll give you my why Among them are corporate welfare like sugar subsidies. Let's take that as an example sugar subsidies sugar farmers Farm on roughly 0.2 percent of the farmland in america And yet they give 40% Of the lobbying money that sort of corporate welfare is why we're bankrupting our kids and grandkids I would end those subsidies to pay for defending this nation. Bernie Sanders, if you look at who has contributed to his campaign is every single union you can imagine and the sugar lobby. Yeah but he's not running against Bernie Sanders, he's running against Rubio! Yeah but it's handy to pound Sanders down. And Sanders will never see the light of day so it's interesting though most of these guys are corrupt

48:17 I think we should just draw straws, get it over with. Then do some reruns... If your thesis is correct which i can't really argue against It's going to be Bush versus Clinton? That's what it seems like The public should be up in arms over this Yeah, we're not Oh no its much worse We're not! Democrats are all-in for Hillary But I gotta tell you man After..I shouldn't do this to myself but I listened too Serious progress 127. You love it You should be getting some clips. Well I do from time to time, it gets thumb clips and... But i've got to start clipping this guy Michelangelo Signorelli? No yeah no I don't know him Never heard of him? Oh my oh man all he does is these people are retards These guys It's the clown car they have their insane and there just so much hate So much hate on that channel

CHAPTER 20 / 56 Discussion

Louie Gohmert, Heterosexual Islands and Nature's Favor

Congressman Louie Gohmert's hypothetical experiment regarding heterosexual and homosexual couples stranded on separate islands is played. Gohmert argues that after 100 years, nature would only "favor" the heterosexual island due to reproduction. The hosts mock the simplicity and delivery of Gohmert's argument.

louie gohmert· lgbtq· nature· reproduction· social experiment

49:18 It's just unbelievable. Chunk used to be the same way. Chunk, yeah chunk I know, I know chunk and i think we should do a little entremont before we thank some producers because this is just bumming me out um how about some LGBTQQIAAP clips? Uh good always good uh this is part of the screw the gays and this will start with congressman Gohmert who clearly wants everyone to know that... and I guess he's, is he also a preacher? Does he have a congregation? Is there a church? Because he's speaking to a congregation. Some big mega-church No i don't think he does Well let's just take a totally secular approach to this Congress is good about having studies How about if we take four heterosexual couples

50:13 where they have everything they need to live and exist, and we take four couples of just men put them on an island where they have all they need to survive. And then let's take four couples of just women and put them on an island? Then lets come back in a hundred years and see which one nature favors! Just see you know... That's really breaking it down to the essence there, Mr. Gomer. But then... Gomer is a clown! Oh yeah but then this guy and this was so good that I if you want an ISO we're gonna have to work on it together. Hold on one second what is happening here? What hold on

CHAPTER 21 / 56 Discussion

Bose Soundbar, Muting Glitch and German Engineering

A brief interruption occurs when a Bose soundbar in the studio automatically unmutes itself. The hosts complain about the illogical design of the device, which either turns off or unmutes after 30 minutes of silence, leading to a discussion about the decline of engineering standards.

bose· soundbar· technology· glitch· user experience

50:55 Something's going off in the next room. Anyway, I'll play this clip- This is uh... Hold on one second John, I don't know what happened hold on one second Last time he did this you had the left the water running in the bathroom and He's probably cooking something The dumbest thing ever! I have a Bose sound bar thing for my TV Yeah? And if you mute it after half an hour it unmutes Like that's handy. That makes no sense! Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. So it just went off? And if you only have two modes either... If you're muted it will turn off after 30 minutes so you have to turn it on again or if you mute it and then you can set that mode then it will unmute after 30 minutes but what countries is this German

CHAPTER 22 / 56 Discussion

Kevin Swanson, Religious Extremism and Pussy Sores

The hosts deconstruct a viral clip of Colorado pastor Kevin Swanson delivering a graphic and screaming sermon against homosexuality. Swanson's bizarre imagery involving "sackcloth and ashes," "cow manure," and "pussy sores" is isolated for use as show drops. The segment includes a "behind the scenes" look at how the hosts edit and produce these audio clips for the podcast.

Here's what I would do

52:31 sackcloth and ashes at the entrance to the church, and I'd sit in cow manure. And I'd spread it all over my body. That's what I would do. And I'm not kidding! I'm not laughing! I'M GRIEVING!!!

Sir Cesar Caton, Guadalajara and El Chapo Photo Ops

Cesar Miramontes from Guadalajara, Mexico, is knighted as Sir Cesar Caton following a $1,000 donation. The hosts discuss his background as an Oracle engineer and share an anecdote about the Mexican drug lord "El Chapo" Guzman. According to Miramontes, El Chapo's first "escape" was actually a series of photo ops while he lived comfortably near the prison.

cesar miramontes· guadalajara· oracle· el chapo· knighting

57:06 album art for episode 772 title of that was grim math and the Knicks art was just a sole solitary bicycle in the snow up near Norway it was one of our one of our rare minimalist piece. Very minimalist piece, yes very minimalists and you can find all of the pieces at noagendaartgenerator.com and of course we highly appreciate the work that everybody does it makes a big difference people do listen to the show when they see new art it's a reminder that's you know it's prevalent it goes everywhere when we start to tweet the show out so it was highly appreciated is very big yeah big

57:49 So, our first donor today is Cesar Miramontes who was from Guadalajara Mexico who I met with to receive the fine donation of $1,000 instant night. Oh this was when? Yesterday? Yesterday Cool where did you meet him? I drove down to Redwood City Or Sam Mateo, I had to go across there. He was at meetings at Oracle he's an oracle engineer. Oh okay. And some team that does some...he tried to explain it to me. And he is typically in Mexico? That's where he works? He lives in Mexico and works for Oracle in Mexico There it is! Taking our jobs once again So he's down there You sure he's not El Chapo in disguise

58:37 We talked about El Chapo. He had a story, funny story. You know he said you know El Chapo has left escaped two prisons right? Yeah well escape is a big word maybe help out. Well he was assisted to find some other place to live yeah the first time... It's like REMAX it's like REMAX program down there get your new house The first time he was imprisoned they said he escaped According to one of his buddies who happens to know something about this, he was never in prison. He kind of showed up on the...he was there on like weekends for photo ops or whatever. Yeah, it's just a photo op. Hey I'm here again! The rest of the time he was living nearby

59:22 So you know so he didn't have to have a long... This is so much like Narcos about Pablo Escobar when he built his own castle that was his prison. You remember that? I don't know if you've seen the series but it's uh.. No, i haven't watched yet. It's pretty cool Although I did watch- oh we'll talk about it later Did he have anything any inside dirt on Oracle or anything you know could he poop where he works no? I don't think so. I don't think he was gonna give me anything And what was his reasoning for being in Intonite and Instonite Well, it kind of says in his note. Okay? He's been a listener to the best podcast in the universe since the first show all because I was a listener of Adam's Daily Source Code. Oh okay! One of those guys. And gals there too.

Executive Producer Donations, Code Breaking and Bitcoin

A segment dedicated to acknowledging high-value donations and "knighting" new producers. The hosts read various notes, including one containing cryptic codes (Blue Puck, Fire Hydrant) which they speculate could be a form of modern spycraft. Another donor, James Michael DuPont, provides a complex table of No Agenda terms converted into Bitcoin values.

Yale University, Cultural Appropriation and Halloween Costumes

The controversy at Yale University regarding an email about "culturally appropriative" Halloween costumes is analyzed. The hosts critique the term "appropriative" and the outrage directed at faculty members who suggested students should be allowed to wear what they want. They argue that the focus on microaggressions and "safe spaces" on campus is creating a divisive atmosphere that prevents cultural exchange.

yale· cultural appropriation· erica christakis· halloween· safe spaces

1:09:59 Yeah, so we're done. Thank you these are abruptly these are real credits executive producers associate executive producers you can put them anywhere credits or recognize your LinkedIn seems to be a good place people apparently get more views on their on their profile and also just where does it badge of courage because you have helped produce the best podcast in universe. And you can also help out by doing something very simple. It's called propagating the formula! Our formula is this... We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Whoa what was that? That was strange. I don't know what happened there. Hey citizen Shut up slave! SHUT UP SLAVE! I uh....I really need to have a conversation about What happened in Missouri at the University

1:11:07 Okay, there's been a couple people requesting this. I have...I will follow up because there was a mirrored situation at Yale which i think was actually... I think came for...I think the Yale thing came before Missouri It might have but then it got put in the back burner and I think that Yale things more interesting but I want to hear what you have to say. kind of pushed in the direction of supporting the students based on the conversation that took place on Democracy Now and you know what side they were gonna be on. Yeah, a conversation yeah So you're for the students in this? I'm taking the student's okay Do you want to talk Yale first then just to get it out of your system?

1:11:55 The Yale thing is, I have one clip which the clip and you can figure out the style of the clip. At Yale I thought was an interesting mirror because it wasn't It didn't draw as much sympathy, but Yale and hilarity ensues. If you could explain what the letter was that his wife sent out about Halloween costumes? Yeah absolutely so um the Intercultural Affairs Council which is a body of various administrators at Yale sent out an email a couple of days before saying, you know please do not be culturally appropriate for Halloween. Respect other people's traditions. Do not wear anything that is not your own culture pretty simple and pretty polite to be honest and a couple of days after that the associate master of Solomon College Nicholas Christakis' wife Erica Christakis sent out an email- Why does she talk like this? Who talks like this?

1:12:55 Yaley, yeah. ...of her residential college basically saying none of that matters do whatever you want the university is trying to control you they're trying to tell you what to do if you want to be culturally appropriative it's okay if... Appropriateive? Yes! It's a new word. This is why I like this clip. Culturally appropriateive. This introduces a new term into me and never heard it. Culturally appropriatieve Yeah, you know what that means. Yeah its kind of like politically correctily culturally... No, it doesn't. Let me listen again. Appropriative. Appropriative? That is a word! Culturally appropriative meaning you Whitey have put on blackface or you Whitey have put a sombrero on your head for trick-or-treating Now I need to say something about that real quick before we continue with the clip

1:13:50 The dressing up like a mariachi is not a slam against anybody. It's culturally appropriative! It may not be a slam, but it's beside the point Because it's a costume. The mariachi guys don't walk around the street wearing mariachi clothing...it's a costume They were- It's their culture, it's THEIR culture. And you can't touch it! It's not your culture Whitey. Oh... It's not your culture. We're doing you thank you keep going culturally appropriative. Yeah Appropriate if and it's a great word matters do whatever you want the university is trying to control you they're trying to tell you what to do If you want to be called truly appropriative, it's okay. If you really like it and you can do whatever and so You know students were outraged It was basically an outright

1:14:43 You know completely ignoring the students in her college and also at the university who find these issues to be not just you know discomforting and I need to be in a safe space upsetting but really deeply harmful deeply harmful. Actually creating space for violence to happen on campus and in particular the advice that she gave was to either look away or to engage in dialogue with someone who might be wearing something culturally appropriate and... She says it again, culturally appropriate! You missed a first time too. I think third or fourth time. Dynamite. They did try to engage with people they were harassed they were mocked um they were you know physically intimidated and so

1:15:27 It really did create a completely unsafe atmosphere on campus. And then what happened this weekend with the confrontation of hundreds of African-American students on campus who were questioning the first African American dean, Dean Holloway—who used to be the master of one of the residences and even the word master has come up now as a question the heads of these residences, dorms or cult masters. Masters. Yeah, good one democracy now war and peace war and peace report dot org I'm Amy Goodman masters The Masters are what they were traditionally called the guys who ran the various residences And there's just a term that goes back to whatever if masters you can and she's apparently now at Yale They've gone so cold they've gone so PC that they can't use the word masters I have

1:16:21 degree you can't say masters get a master's of arts anymore you can't get an MA or an M.S. what should we suggest as an alternative title Masters of Arts how about Massa of Arts that would be better Massa I got a Master of Arts Now, the definition of appropriative is of or relating to or given to the act of taking for yourself. I will bet you our typical 50 cents because it used to be a dollar but hard times...50 cents that this girl listens to Drake and Jay-Z and Beyonce and she is appropriate of the black culture

1:17:09 She's white, isn't she? No. God damn it! She's a mulatto. Yeah well that's good enough I bet she... I think she sees herself as black. Okay because you have to go after that too then because ever since the music business figured out that selling black music to 15 year old white girls is a goldmine and declining diminishing then you need to stop that because it's appropriative of black culture That's next It has to be next Oh, you're dancing to black music huh? Well I'm looking at this appropriate thing a little differently. And more I listen to this crap and... I like it! I like it John, I like it. It's uh..I like it alot Now here is what I am thinking The idea Is to make sure cause the idea is to promote divisiveness Because if You can't wear a Mexican sombrero on Halloween because its culturally appropriative

1:18:05 If you're an immigrant or you're a Mexican, let's say, or black. You can't really try to get a job in any of the...in a white office building from some corporation that was started by no white guy." Because this would be culturally appropriative of the whites. There's a white culture, so you don't want to do that." What is white culture? This is the same crap that the blacks have been fed with all your just...you're a house nigger which is a term they use in sociology classes. They do everything they can, who they are—I can't say anybody in particular—but

University of Missouri, Melissa Click and Muscle for Media

The events at the University of Missouri (Mizzou) are deconstructed, specifically the video of communications professor Melissa Click calling for "muscle" to remove a student journalist from a public protest area. The hosts highlight the irony of a media professor suppressing the press and discuss the university police department's request for students to report "hateful or hurtful speech."

mizzou· melissa click· safe space· first amendment· student protest

1:18:44 the culture drags, will not let anyone get into the white culture. You know? And then the white culture kind of is keeps them away too I mean, the whole thing is to keep everybody instead of like being the one nation we're supposed to be have a bunch of subgroups that can't even wear a sombrero. I mean come on this where it's headed. Yeah, I have some thoughts very particular thoughts on this but lets transition now This is good Let's transition now to Mizzou, University of Missouri. And this made the rounds everywhere was on television everywhere just in case you hadn't heard it this is an assistant visiting professor of media then I think journalism but media for sure and the students created a safe space on public ground

1:19:36 by putting signs in the ground that said safe space, which by itself needs discussion. So it's a safe pit space and there was one student journalist who they were not letting into the safe space even though he has every right to be there and it was disturbing what the assistant professor of media did instead. Hi Media can I talk to you? No! You need to get out! You need to get out! You need to get out. She pushes the camera. Alright, hey who wants to help me get this reporter outta here? I need some muscle over here! I love that! I need some muscle over here! Now CBS...

1:20:17 Here's how they reported this. The Washington Post reports on a University of Missouri professor who tried to block reporters from covering an anti-racism protest on campus. Melissa Click is an assistant professor of mass media at Mizzou, she and other students were telling the media including a photographer who confronted her to back off. Hi Media can I talk to you? No! You need to get out now listen...you need to get out no i don't You need to get out. I actually don't The photographer explained he had the right it's interesting they Potted down the part where she says, I need some muscle over here. They removed it Yes, they removed it listen again. Yeah, no, I heard it first time yeah

1:21:04 Very good. Then, Carol CNN, facebook.com slash carolcnn... That woman calling for muscle is assistant professor Melissa Click at the university's communication school I love this that her name is click and she's in media. She should be a photographer! Yeah she pushes the student photographer covers his lens and mocks him. This is public property? The mocking is funny, listen to this. This is Obama bot nut job crazy mocking which happens all the time. I know that's a really good one! I'm a communication faculty and I really get that argument but you need to go- That person emails us sometimes

1:21:48 But I'm a communication faculty and I really get that argument. But you need to go! Directing students to form a human chain, to block the journalists from doing their job. Good job! We went to Professor Click's office to ask why would a mass media communications instructor want to stop the media? She wasn't there. But this flyer expresses her opinion about traditional media The communication school says it can't comment about personnel but says intimidation is never an acceptable form of communication Melissa Click, by the way did release written apology saying quote I regret the language and strategies I used and sincerely apologize to the MU campus community and journalists at large for my behavior Being in A-hole is now strategy

1:22:46 The Missouri University sent an email out to everybody. I have a copy here, subject reporting hateful and or hurtful speech This is sent to all students and faculty. To continue to ensure that the University of Missouri campus remains safe, the MU Police Department, MUPD is asking individuals who witness incidents of hateful and or hurtful speech to—or actions—to call the police immediately, give the communications operator a summary of the incident including location, provide a detailed description of the individuals involved, provide license plate and vehicle descriptions if appropriate

1:23:22 if appropriative. If possible, and it can be done safely take a photo of the individuals with your cell phone delays including posting information to social media can often reduce the chances of identifying the responsible party so you gotta post it right away while cases have hateful and hurtful speech are not crimes if the individual or individuals identified our students MU's office student conduct contain disciplinary action So that's for hate speech. Hateful, not even hate speech...hateful and or hurtful speech which is last time I checked still speech and has some protections Some issues with this First of all the way i understand how it went down Is the president of student body someone some drunk white student drove by and shouted racial slurs. So there was a drunk A-hole

Mizzou Protests, Poop Swastika and Football Team Leverage

The hosts examine the catalysts for the Mizzou protests, including the resignation of President Tim Wolfe. They question the validity of the "poop swastika" report, noting a lack of photographic evidence. The discussion emphasizes that the protest only gained significant traction when the football team threatened to strike, creating a massive financial liability for the university.

mizzou· tim wolfe· football strike· racial tension· missouri

1:24:17 Then there was, as a part of the story which has kind of faded away now... ...was this poop swastika. But I have yet to see any evidence of the poop swastika There is no photographic evidence There is uh- you know, the only person who reported it said he read about on a flyer There's no photos, there's nothing So that had to be dropped because that doesn't seem to be true And, you know...poop swastika. Really? Here's the way I'm seeing this story being on the side of the students and if you look into it The University of Missouri was one of the last major land-grant universities in the country to accept blacks in school Can we stop for a second before you get into that? Okay Every..the protesters during the initial homecoming parade where we had a huge blow up because

1:25:16 the president of the university would not get out of his car. They were standing in front, they're blocking him from driving and there's a... he hit me with the car! I watched the video like that car inches up and it touches the guys legs wasn't like you hit them with anything but they were all wearing T-shirts did you see the t-shirt? Yeah 1839 was built on my back and there's an L in their built on my black Yeah. And this refers to… it's actually quite interesting if you go back to 1839 is when the university was started, and it was started… they claim that it was started with money that was achieved through sale of slaves.

1:25:54 And in 2008, there was an alum of the university who felt bad that this had taken place. And he started an endowment—not a huge one, $25,000—started an endowment but specifically said that this was because his ancestors, his great-great grandfather had sold slaves as part of...actually, he had sold Negroes is what the exact bill of sale was titled And really, this thing really started in 2008. Looking—this has been reported widely if you look at the makeup of the state 8% is black I think it's 79 or 80 percent is white The school is over-represented If you go by those norms 10 percent black and 73 percent white The only thing that bothered me about this was the number one demand Of the concerned student 1950 group

1:26:53 that the president of the college admit his white male privilege. That's where... Right, yeah. Okay well you're still on the side of the students because I want to talk about this Yes yes because what you're doing is the same thing the other side was doing which is in which was is this really the demand? Is it just a good example let's let's just take this there There's a lot of different groups involved in this. And let's first look at the history of the school, it was extremely racist, they N-word used freely which is what that earlier thing you were talking about and then with the black fraternity that was on campus I guess just within recent few months ago or earlier in the year was covered and pelted with cotton balls to pretty much insult the blacks inside as though they're all cotton pickers

1:27:40 And it was just this very slow buildup of tolerance for some of these... The one guy, the drunken guy driving by yelling epithets is apparently the tip of the iceberg in Missouri. I'm sure it is! By the way, Missouri's also where Ferguson and the Missouri's a target state right now. It's about 100 miles away. So that's still the same state. And people I've ever known from Missouri, there's kind of a very funky kind of racist operation in the whole state. I'm not calling everyone from Missouri racist, but we don't get a lot of donations from Missouri if you haven't noticed and though we do say Missouri but there's a lot that it was just a very tense moment and it was pretty much the football team when they decided to say were not going play any more games until he straightened this out and get rid of well but what was under reported was a large number of players on the team

1:28:35 were pissed off about it, didn't like that they couldn't...that they were going to have to do this. But there's always gonna be no one is in 100% agreement on this. These are minor points. Sure! You have a racist atmosphere I'm not disagreeing with that. That needed something to be done. I'm not disagreeing with that and i think the thing to be noted is whether was the pressure from the students or whether the students had any effect Which I would actually say probably not as much as the football team because the football team would have to pay a million dollars, one million dollars. To the...to the team that was supposed to come in and play that weekend. You're making my point for me? So this is a money deal. Okay now one more clip and then i need to talk about something because I'm not against the students except for one there is an exception first here's Ben Carson who's black and his opinion it's part of

White Privilege, Shaming Culture and Therapy Insights

A deep dive into the concept of "white privilege" following a personal experience at a dinner party. One host recounts a therapy session where they concluded that the term is used as a tool for shaming and is rooted in narcissism. They argue that while "white benefit" may exist in certain contexts, the term "privilege" is factually incorrect and is being weaponized to silence dissent, a tactic they attribute to the Obama administration.

white privilege· shaming· narcissism· therapy· barack obama

1:29:27 the problem that's going on in our country right now we have people who get in their respective corners and demonize each other but there is no conversation. And of course if you ask people to put on the record what their gripes are, and what their solutions are Then perhaps they can see that maybe they're not so far apart and they can come up with some reasonable solutions But you know, this is just raw emotion and people being manipulated I think in many of these cases by outside forces who wish to create disturbances very possible And there's nothing wrong with that. No but here's here's my problem and This goes back to last week when or in the week when though last week When I had the Obama bought dinner

1:30:16 And I was accused of ignoring my white privilege. And I had a very strong reaction to this, you know me... I know and that's one of your pet peeves! That is your recurrent occurrent pet peeve. Well yes it will set you off well no it won't set me off anymore because I took this to my therapy yesterday Oh, yeah. New segment! Yes yes I'm going to tell so i went to see my therapist in San Antonio. We need a jingle. If we didn't...I don't have a jingle No we need one It should be something like Adam's nuts or something whatever Adams Nuts here he is and you know what? We're not gonna do..we're not gonna say stuff like that

1:30:59 But I was so, because you know people say horrible things to me all the time for years. What? How about when i was seven year old at the end of the Vietnam war and I was in The Netherlands growing up and kids would walk around and go fuck you American, fuck you Yankee, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you So I was... Traumatized Yes! Wait a minute, what is this place They hated Americans in the early 70s, hated them with a passion. So when I wanted to figure out why I had... because I don't have these reactions. You know, I'm healthy enough to understand that people project all the time but and I just don't have responses but this really tick me off and so we put the whole two hours

1:31:51 I've worked on figuring out why i was so upset about it two hours yeah, two hour session. Oh yeah no wonder you're broke It's important it's a i recommend some therapy for everybody it's not bad and My therapist show provides sandy my therapist is very very helpful And she took me down a path that was, I thought interesting enough to bring up on the show. And it is really about the term white privilege or really privilege because what you are doing when you say to someone you have white privilege is you are shaming them You're shaming them into something they can do nothing about It's an aggressive low life act

1:32:42 to do that. And it comes mainly from people who are in a place of narcissism, and the narcissism really comes from two different...it can come from two directions One is extremely entitled Extremely entitled people are very narcissistic or people who have such a gaping hole in their soul that they are just complete A-holes It's also factually incorrect And so this is why this term, white privilege has to be changed. I do not... it is not a privilege So just take the example that was thrown at me You have white privilege What the hell does that mean? Well driving while black and so the concept is that I have some privilege because I'm not black and I don't have to take off a skin because I am white

1:33:33 that I don't get pulled over. That would be the privilege, if you look at the definition of privilege. I don't have that privilege! I may not get pulled over as often as a black person or ever but it's not guaranteed to happen No It is a benefit of being white Just like there's a benefit to being black. If you look at currently affirmative action, there is still a lot of it happening It's not a privilege it's a benefit You're not guaranteed to get into college or get a job because your black but right now there's a benefit in the world This is what is okay to say shaming people, which I will say comes directly from President Obama who was the first one to come out and say we're gonna name and shame people. Name and shame Republicans! Name and shame companies! It is a horrible narcissistic asshole thing to do And it is... you can say white benefit? I'm okay with that but saying privilege is really

1:34:33 really incorrect and it is aggressive, and I don't care how bad it is in Missouri. Two wrongs don't make a right you cannot use this meme and for white people to use it like the clearly over entitled empty soul people at the Obama Bot Dinner is wrong. It's good one You can give yourself the, uh... you can play the jingle. I'll play this one for ya. White benefit? Yes! White privilege? No! F-you! It's bullshit

CHAPTER 29 / 56 Discussion

Racial Benefits, Sexual Harassment and Social Dynamics

The discussion on privilege expands to include the "benefits" and "detractors" faced by different groups. The hosts argue that attractive women face the detractor of frequent police harassment, while black comedians like Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock have built careers on "benefits" allowed to them in comedy. They conclude that every group has unique social advantages and disadvantages that do not fit the narrow definition of "privilege."

racial dynamics· benefits· sexual harassment· eddie murphy· chris rock

1:35:14 Yeah, and I feel much better. Well, the term probably came up because Amy Goodman's one of those promoters of it but when I heard kind of the trenches stories, I felt that they want to get the guy fired, the guy running the place. Sure. Okay, they got him fired and that's over supposedly but talking about the narcissist thing when they had...they did show some clips with some of these spokes Folks for one of the 1950 thing or what I don't know but there's a bunch of groups involved in this deal and a couple more things about driving If you're a hot woman, and your white probably if you're black But if your white you're gonna get pulled over a lot okay

1:36:05 for different reasons. They may not, you know... If you're black and you have- You could be feel threatened but you could get your ass kicked but you know what? Beautiful women who are driving around cops pull them over all the time and harass them sexually! Yes So there's benefits and there's detractors it's a fact of life Not a privilege No it's not a privilege Thank you It's not a privilege Well I'd like to now that you bring this up And I think your logic is impeccable I would like to well kind of impeccable. I would like to know Yeah, okay let's do it. I'd like to get to the bottom of this who started this meme Well, I mean we start we started discussing it on the show But we never thought about it being so important because we're you

1:36:53 It's nothing that our circles ever bring up or discuss, but it is becoming overcooked. You're right, it's showing up too much and now Whitey is doing it. Well this way its worth it! White males specifically. Yeah, I can't change that on my man. Let's get older white males yeah Oh yeah?

No but is there benefit yeah yes congratulations we're different it works that way all right since you mentioned in this last piece as we move on Twitter

CHAPTER 30 / 56 Discussion

Millennials, Social Media and the American Airlines Fuel Leak

A story about a millennial passenger on an American Airlines flight who filmed a fuel leak and tweeted it instead of informing the flight crew. The hosts use this as an example of the "coddled" millennial generation's inability to handle real-world confrontation or emergencies without the mediation of social media. They express concern that this behavior represents a broader sociological shift toward passivity.

millennials· social media· american airlines· chattanooga· bystander effect

1:38:26 Now, we've talked about this before which is the millennials have a great difficult time of being confrontational. I'm actually of the opinion that they can't even ask for help if they're drowning because... I don't know what to say. I need a safe space! I'm drowning! I just do not understand and I've got millennials all around me and none of them could tell me this stuff. This is where you get a lot of material but They don't they don't explain it and it's like there was a piece I didn't clip him, but I'll put on the next show which is about all the Millennials that still live at home Which has some element of this? But here's the one that really got me we can talk about or not talk about it. But this isn't the screwball Twitter American Airlines Clip thank you and one more aviation headline tonight a midair scare for passengers on a flight from Chattanooga Making an emergency landing in Huntsville Alabama

1:39:24 A passenger tweeting this video while on board, that's fuel leaking from a loose fuel cap. That was the message American Airlines responding to his tweet asking him are you on the plane let the crew know. Power of social media they landed passengers later booking flights on a different plane to Dallas Okay now here's the way they didn't bring this up Of course They don't talk about sociology or anything but here's where I heard the story A guy sitting at the window, a millennial no doubt about it because who else would do a live feed of you know or take a movie and then tweet it I don't know. I guess there was Wi-Fi on the plane yeah I'm assuming so he's shooting this thing and then his tweets look at this is so funny and they play guys are you on that plane? Yeah go tell somebody this is going on oh oh I forgot I was glad to

1:40:16 I'm does this distress anybody it distresses the hell out of me. I'm now thinking that if you're on a plane full of Millennials And the damn thing was on fire they wouldn't say anything and he just say anything Let me just update my status burning and dying do you find this disturbing? I thought there was a very disturbing yes, but I find it par for the course It's read. It's horrible we're turning out morons in all of this it is coddling It's my generation, I think that has messed this up. I've done it... although hopefully it was not as bad as the thing leaking fuel is going to go down in flames because this idiot won't tell you! Hey let me update my status thats pretty good But I tweeted it, I tweeted it. Is this unbelievable? Yeah well unfortunately its highly believable thats the crazy part

CHAPTER 31 / 56 Discussion

Metrojet Flight 9268, ADS-B Data and Crash Site Anomalies

The crash of Russian Metrojet Flight 9268 in the Sinai Peninsula is analyzed. The hosts question the ADS-B telemetry data, which showed the plane slowing to 62 knots before a rapid descent. They also point out anomalies at the crash site, such as the lack of an impact crater and the presence of heavy machinery tracks, suggesting the scene may have been staged or heavily disturbed.

metrojet· sinai· ads-b· flightradar24· plane crash

1:41:16 I'm glad somebody at the American Airlines was using company time to follow the tweets. Anyway, yeah problematic...I'll say! What do i have here? Oh yes let's talk about the plane, the Russian metro jet. Okay Yeah because something has been bothering me about this now of course we still don't really have any official information The first thing that bothers me is this ADS-B data. Now, ADS-B is...it's experimental—well it's not really experimental but like Flightradar24 which is the graph that everyone is using you know? It's kind of an open source project where people have these you know they get the USB stick to create an SDR they jack it up two different frequencies and then they can receive these broadcast from most airliners with this telemetry data And to see the plane

1:42:19 stop its forward...its forward...when they were 20,000 feet the forward speed was down to 62 knots and the descent rate of feet per minute was 600...6582 which is around what it's not even that it's like a hundred no it's like 65-70 miles an hour. And now this could all be incorrect data this is the point I'm making about that but when you look at the pictures I don't understand how an aircraft can come down from, you know pretty much straight down but i guess it was floating down because it was only doing about 70 miles an hour coming down. I don't understand that. I think the rate of descent if especially if it broke up should have been much higher much faster but we don't know about this data and then if you look at the crash site

1:43:12 It's almost like the World Trade Center. We have this perfect outline of a plane on the ground. Like it came down pancake flat? Yes, and I'm looking at every picture and there are obvious things missing but also the ground around this plane is filled with tire tracks of heavy machinery There's no impact, there's no bounce. There is nothing it just all these tracks and it looks like... I'm not saying that the plane didn't go down or wasn't eliminated. Not saying people didn't die. I don't see a single body All I see is It's different from every other crash we've seen We see the suitcases stacked up with barbed wire around them for some reason so the crime scene has been disturbed No passports!

CHAPTER 32 / 56 Discussion

Michael McCaul, ISIS Bomb Theory and Homeland Security

Congressman Michael McCaul's public statements regarding the Metrojet crash are critiqued. McCaul claims "intel" and his own "gut" confirm that ISIS placed a bomb on the plane. The hosts argue that McCaul is a "stooge" who is using the tragedy to push for increased surveillance and security measures on American-bound flights.

michael mccaul· homeland security· isis· bomb· aviation security

1:43:58 Hey man, what happened to the passports? We always show passports strewn about on the ground and none of that. So I'm disturbed by these... I think i did see one passport Okay well I'm disturbed by the circumstantial evidence uh of this and if it were intended to be used for something then well here's our friend my friend the Congressman McCall here in Texas who is just I'm gonna see this guy one day and i'm going to give him a piece of my mind because we sometimes bump into each other. I'm hopeful that I get to bump into him. Chairman, what's the latest intel on the downing of that Russian airliner? I love how the question is give me the intel and guess what! The guy gives them the intel What kind of Homeland Security Commission guy is this who just says oh you want the Intel sure no problem here it is the Intel. Chairman, whats the latest intel on the downing of that Russian airliner

1:44:59 Well, I think the latest evidence we have is the black box recording itself which indicates that there was an explosion on the aircraft. When you couple that with satellite technology this flash of heat on the airplane... Which we have not seen. Have you seen a satellite technology? Have you see any images? I've heard it but haven't seen it The fact that ISIS has declared war on Russia This was a Russian plane headed for Russia In addition to the US and UK intelligence that we've received, I think all indicators are pointing to the fact that this was ISIS putting a bomb on an airplane.

1:45:37 So, one week after this terrible incident what do you think is the likelihood that it was a bomb? That it was a terror attack. What do you think John? What's the likelihood based upon tenth of second audio or- Oh 100%! Oh no no no no NO! Well again I have a high degree of confidence that it was It has been my gut all along as we've looked at the facts Did he say its been my get?! Guess. Oh, guess I thought it was... No? I don't think he said guess. Well go back. Hold on let's listen to it again

1:46:14 It's been my gut all along. She gets what is it? Like he's like an interview get the oh I get that straight as we've looked at the facts that the region itself The fact that they want to hit the Russians and I must say Chris, this is a new chapter for Isis Typically, we looked at al-qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is the sort of premier bomb maker if you will hitting the aviation sector Maybe said gut maybe said good their crown jewel But now you're looking at Isis now putting bombs on airplanes, which concerns me. You see how he did that? He see I went to oh it's ice not al-qaeda now It's Isis and I feel my gut tells me so which concerns me greatly Not just for Russian Airlines Chris but quite frankly

1:46:58 So he's going from all sorts of suppositions, a gut check and to now it is absolutely true that ISIS is putting bombs on airplanes. And what does that mean if they're putting them on Russian airplanes? What next? Oh yeah. But now you are looking at ISIS now putting bombs on airplanes which concerns me greatly not just for Russian airlines Chris but quite frankly American bound flights into the United States. Clamp down! Yeah! Oh, what a stooge that guy is. Actually I think he's just dumb. He just believes it. He sounds kind of dumb with the dumb sound But i have problems with this looking at it again and reviewing the photographic evidence for whatever... None of its evidence. I'd love to see the... There was a bunch of heavy equipment around

CHAPTER 33 / 56 Discussion

Sinai Plane Crash, Staging Theories and Flight 93 Comparisons

The hosts explore the possibility that the Metrojet wreckage was staged in the desert using scrap parts. They compare the visual evidence to United Flight 93 from September 11, noting historical "slips" by officials like Donald Rumsfeld and Bill Clinton regarding the nature of those events. The discussion suggests a lack of transparency from global elites regarding major aviation disasters.

sinai· staging· flight 93· donald rumsfeld· 9/11

1:47:56 You could take and... You can take a wreck. There's stuff, there are things there John that you could push a bunch of junk onto this area in a wreckage of whatever sort or take a plane that's in scrap. There's a lot of graveyards around the country that used to be I went over to one that was outside Las Vegas and they have every imaginable plane in a, just a holding. They take the engines out... Well notice the only identifiable piece was the tail section which has no burn marks, has no visible explosion explosive residue evidence but it does say Metrojet A321

1:48:41 So you think it's a possibility that you would, and you could do this if you're going to do this especially in the middle of nowhere. And we have a base not too far from it? You could right well that still is 100 miles down by us but so you'd push this plane out to the middle of nowhere and then you could smash it up, flatten it do whatever you have to do. You could take... you can do this over a period of months! Yeah no one's gonna see ya doing that Right because your in the middle of nowhere in the Sinai Desert So I have no further explanation, but just looking at it from almost a logical point of view... Who would be the culprit? It depends on what Russia's going to do. Well the president came out very early on the next day. You've got McCaul this is from Monday. This is all very early on. Oh ISIS! Oh its ISIS! So whether the United States is taking this as an opportunity to blame ISIS

1:49:40 Whether it's the Russians who need this to say, well we need to go after something because dot-dot-dot. Maybe Russia will come out and say hey turns out it wasn't ISIS turns out was the moderates I mean, whatever the final decision is and it looks like the United States. Yeah right? The United States It looks like the United States is pushing very hard right now to say was ISIS Russia has not really come out and said we think it was X Y or Z so maybe were doing that be out of a defensive measure. Oh man, long game Could be a long game. Yeah, so we don't know... But if it's Putin then he needs to show his cards pretty quick because it's going to get off the radar I don't think that... In the middle of that area with a US base nearby and with... I don't see how Putin could pull this off It has to be us Okay It certainly sounds like... but why? Well, to prove that is ISIS, I guess Still who cares And then what happened to the plane is the other question

1:50:42 Was there a plane? Well, maybe you never know. Maybe Russia is actually working with us behind the... Who knows! Remember the open mic where President Obama said hey man wait until I'm re-elected then i can uh you know get more involved with ya remember that's what Obama said to Medvedev yeah with open mic maybe this is why don't know but that plane crash... We're never being told the truth about anything anymore it's almost pathetic You know it's almost like um It's almost like the flight 93. Remember how that looked? Yeah, where it you know, there was just a little hole in the ground. Nothing nothing was left forget the debris that was spread over 14 miles elsewhere but and you know, the elites always remind us that

CHAPTER 34 / 56 Discussion

Bill Clinton, StarTalk and Pentagon Gaffes

A clip from Bill Clinton's appearance on Neil deGrasse Tyson's "StarTalk" is played, where Clinton refers to the Pentagon being "bombed" on 9/11. The hosts seize on this as a potential "truth slip," questioning why a former president would use that specific terminology if a plane was the official cause of the damage.

bill clinton· neil degrasse tyson· pentagon· 9/11· gaffe

1:51:31 that things are different than the way they seem. We'll go back to Donald Rumsfeld talking shortly after 9-11. Imagine the kind of world we would face if the people who bombed the best hall in Mosul people who did the bombing in Spain or the people who attacked the United States in New York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania and attacked the Pentagon. Shot down the plane over Pennsylvania? We thought that it was let's roll and it was driven into the ground? And Bill Clinton just this week did a star talk! You know what the star talks are don't you? No I don't Oh come on...you don't watch that?! NO

1:52:18 It's our buddy. Who? Elon! Elon. The Grass Tyson show Oh, I know you do- oh that is that show still on? Oh yeah and he had Bill Clinton on And here's what Bill said You had to deal with the incoming fire When George Bush and Al Gore ran for president They had three debates nobody said What are you going to when the twin trade towers come down and the Pentagon's bombed Whaaat?! But i thought a plane flew into the pentagon The Pentagon's bomb? WTC7 won't go away! The pentagon was not bombed, Bill. How could you make this gaffe unless the truth wants to come out? Truth always wants to come out so don't say to me that someone would slip up because these are slip-ups these are actual slip ups yeah these are good slip ups well okay it was a good piece um migrants

European Refugee Crisis, ABC News and Life Preserver Piles

A "3x3" report on the European migrant crisis, focusing on ABC News coverage from Lesbos, Greece. The report highlights the milestone of one million asylum seekers in Europe. The hosts comment on the massive piles of discarded life preservers on Greek beaches, jokingly suggesting an entrepreneurial opportunity to recycle and resell them to incoming refugees.

refugee crisis· lesbos· greece· abc news· life preservers

1:53:21 I have, we're gonna do migrants. Yep! Let's restate that we're not going to do any migrants We are just gonna do migrants. I decided to...I got a run down clip Is this another 3x3? This is a 3x3. And now it's time for 3x3! Oh yeah! Experiment by JCD! Bring it on baby! Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC! Week 37 The Never Ending 3x3! Alright the never ending 3x3 John C. LeBourque with the 3x3 report Okay this is the rundown as of yesterday on ABC with... They made it as entertaining as possible

1:54:06 if you can call any of it entertaining. And it just kind of brings people up to speed without really giving us any information, what at all but it's worth listening too. We turn next to our continuing coverage of the refugee crisis in Europe and tonight the number of people seeking asylum in parts of Europe reaching a new milestone 1 million Germany, Sweden and some other countries now beginning to close their doors yet many are still coming risking their lives. Just today we learned the story of seven children lost as their families were seeking a better life ABC's chief foreign correspondent Terry Moran in Greece with the difficult images tonight. A half-sunken boat off the Turkish coast, its front window broken, the telltale signs of a tragedy 14 dead and seven of them children The refugee crisis here is actually getting worse And a milestone today 1 million people have now sought asylum in Europe on pace to double last year

1:55:04 Every day brings more heart-rending scenes. Last month, 18 month old Mohamed Hassan pulled from the sea after the boat he was on capsized. He's alive! The fishermen shout. Quick get the water out of his mouth they saved his life. Today the human tide kept rolling ashore here on Lesbos and everywhere, the evidence of their excellence all along this coastline where the boats come ashore you can see several of these huge piles thousands of life preservers and every single one of them represents an individual journey of hope

1:55:40 and desperation. And with every landing, the tears of relief, the joy, the determination to go on. Terry Moran ABC News Lesbos Greece The determination to go on well... Now before I want to just mention something here when he said desperation held up an inner tube but there are these huge piles he showed a of these life preservers yeah they're left on the beach cheesy ones I just don't understand why some entrepreneur...this is a little off topic, but if some entrepreneur hasn't just piled these things into some tug or something and just gone back and resold them for like two bucks a pop. You should recycle that stuff! Yeah. We're talking about thousands and thousands of dollars on every trip he could probably make a buck. John? I think we could raise VC money for this project easily

CHAPTER 36 / 56 Discussion

Piraeus Port, 500 Euro Banknotes and Refugee Wealth

A "boots on the ground" report from a producer in Piraeus, Greece, describes the daily influx of migrants. The producer notes that many Syrian refugees appear wealthy and are carrying 500 euro banknotes, which are rare in Greece due to capital controls. There is speculation about whether these notes are authentic or provided by an unknown third party, as the refugees seem indifferent to their value.

piraeus· athens· 500 euro note· syrian refugees· currency

1:56:32 Well, speaking of Greece... I need to go for an elevator pitch with the angels nearby. Got this idea right? It's called the it's part of the sharing economy is my idea we're going to share life preservers amongst refugees okay Shark Tank Boots on the ground report from Greece. Our producers are writing in with lots of information. Hey, John Adam more boots on the ground I live in Piraeus the port of Athens unfortunately by witness every day Syrians Iraqis and Afghans stranded until they catch the next train for Piraeus to our northern borders with Friar and not Macedonia The men to women ratio is 80-20, and the more bright colored of them—the Syrians—seem to be more well off than the darker ones —the Iraqis and Afghans with more prevalent Asian facial traits. What strikes me most is how they deal with their money! During their daylong stay on pavement or inside a train station, refugees need some basic needs catered for like John pooping

1:57:29 Since NGOs visit the islands, they come in take some selfies and then go back to restoring social justice in the great keyboard wars. These people have to visit multiple times a day a kiosk, which in Greece really provides almost everything. Due to their high numbers I often have to stand in line before I can begin my daily commute for tickets and money etc. Taking multiple glimpses into their wallets – yeah I know I'm classy – I was baffled to see that some Syrian wallets were full of 500 euro banknotes! I can assure you that in Greece we haven't seen one of them for more than a decade and our banks are still under capital control with the limit of 420 euros. By the way, i didn't know that's pretty funny! You got a 420 uh... in Greece? Good on ya! I'm not sure if the notes are authentic or counterfeit but one thing is sure- The refugees have no idea of the monetary value they're carrying. The Greek kiosk owners have seen through this

1:58:23 and are the crookedest of them all, and they give them less change without the Syrians even noticing. And just putting in a hurry another bunch of banknotes back into their wallets? How are we to explain this? Are they fake so that you just go on spending it aimlessly or provided by unknown party some form assistance whose value remains unknown to them but maybe because they don't bother converting these purple bank notes into Syrian pounds Were they my hard-earned and converted pounds? Was it after having sold to my house and my livestock back in Syria, I would not be so indifferent. I would check every note and every cent as I would get change in a foreign country, Yanis says." So that is indeed strange. 500 euro banknotes are not very available in Europe. Boots on the ground from Finland

Sweden Border Checks, Dublin III Accord and Angela Merkel

Reports from Sweden and Finland indicate a tightening of borders as the refugee crisis escalates. Germany has reportedly reintroduced the "Dublin III" agreement, which requires refugees to apply for asylum in the first EU country they enter. This move is seen as a "Hail Mary" by Angela Merkel to alleviate domestic political pressure as German citizens become increasingly frustrated with the influx.

sweden· finland· dublin iii· angela merkel· asylum

1:59:13 Adam and John, this is from Rauli. Just heard your Sunday show here's a report from Sweden! It's really bad here! It was just reported that Sweden is going to start the border checks again into the southern border of Denmark I hope it will also ease the travelers to Finland since big portion of refugees to Finland have come through Sweden to the middle of Finland to Tornio Also, the story where they travel from Russia to Norway is true. Winter hopefully eases this wave of refugees For once I hope for a really cold winter In Finland we have the far right party in our cabinet known as the True Finns but it really hasn't been able to do anything I'm all for getting refugees here but it seems that at least a big portion of refugees are coming from Iraq Albania etc and are just after the social benefits This has been validated in many interviews with the refugees Thank you for your excellent show this year Made a small contribution again to you thank you very much

2:00:03 Here is, and this is a new twist and I had to look into the legislation. This is what is now happening because we have rules for asylum and migration in the European Union and it's called The Dublin Accord In fact its The Dublin Three German Chancellor Angela Merkel is coming under increasing domestic political pressure to find a lasting solution to the refugee crisis which will see at least 800,000 people arrive in Germany by the end of the year. On Tuesday it emerged that Berlin had reintroduced the Dublin 3 agreement which states that each individual must apply for asylum in the country in which they first enter Europe The numbers especially of Syrians has risen to such an extent that no one could have seen in October Circumstances have forced us to make adjustments

2:00:55 As well as sniping from within her own party, the right has mobilized against Merkel's refugee policy. And the extreme right continue to cast a menacing shadow and attack refugee shelters. So this is a Hail Mary by Merkel? saying, hey we have rules for this. This is Dublin 3 which I read through Dublin three man no one can understand this document. It's like huh? Well if the refugees came from there but they put a foot there and it's like no one understands it but what Germany is doing Where'd you come in? Go back there. Which of course these countries are completely unprepared for, no one's documented that it's coming through so this is Germany starting to close it down because a lot of strife happening internally A lot of Germans are getting really upset knowing now that by 2025 they think there'll be 10 million refugees slash migrants in Germany alone That's a pretty hefty

CHAPTER 38 / 56 Discussion

Angela Merkel, Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook Censorship

A "hot mic" recording captures Angela Merkel questioning Mark Zuckerberg about Facebook's efforts to police "racist and xenophobic" comments in Germany. The German government is pressuring tech companies to treat hate speech with the same urgency as nudity. The hosts frame this as a direct demand for state-sponsored censorship on social media platforms.

angela merkel· mark zuckerberg· facebook· censorship· hate speech

2:01:52 a pretty hefty total. And another open mic incident happened with Angela Merkel speaking to Mark Zuckerberg, because of course the guy has to be in political circles. Makes nothing but sense." Well the German press is describing it as a table microphone and what the table microphone picked up was Merkel sort-of muffledly asking a question to Zuckerberg and then you hear Zuckerberg on this issue about what Facebook is going to do about monitoring policing racist xenophobic comments about refugees here in Germany. It's a big issue." We hear Zuckerberg response pretty clearly on the tape, or at least people who are listening it did he said we need to do some work and then guy there is the Merkel follow-up she basically asked the same question again says but you're working on this and Zuckerberg can only say yes look I know there's a humorous aspect whenever private conversations are picked up on public microphones but Germany is taking this issue very seriously gets the core of what they're trying to do

2:02:49 house potentially fine jobs for these incoming immigrants, incoming refugees. And there are have been some ugly attacks and racist attacks and arson attacks on refugee housing with the justice minister here at the end of last month did was write Facebook and say they need to urgently review their policies it really gets a sort of this difference between what tech companies think they're allowed to do in what the German state sometimes demand them Heiko Maas the Justice Minister said that they need to urgently review. He said then he had a meeting here in mid-September with Facebook executives, their basic point is if Facebook polices nude photos right? Then why can't they police racist or xenophobic comics That's the line from the German government They're concerned about it and they want more cooperation from big tech companies like Facebook Shut up slave! Stanzito, schiavo! That's right yeah you'll be censored

CHAPTER 39 / 56 Discussion

EU-Africa Summit, Malta and "With Open Gates" Video

The EU-Africa summit in Malta is discussed, where European leaders are offering billions in aid to African nations to stem the flow of migrants. The hosts mention that pepper spray is sold out in Germany due to public fear. They also recommend a controversial compilation video titled "With Open Gates," which depicts violence and social unrest tied to the migrant crisis that is often ignored by mainstream media.

malta summit· migration· with open gates· censorship· pepper spray

2:03:45 Cut out by the Facebook. Merkel also took a trip down to Africa to have a big meeting with the President. And that's my next clip! This is the real problem... EU and African leaders enter the second day of a summit to discuss the migrant crisis in the Maltese capital Valletta. It's nothing like going to Malta, by the way if you just want to have a little jaunt? You know, have a meeting Malta is fantastic. Have you seen these pictures of all these elites? They could do the big group photo a lot of them Yeah for tax reasons The European plan is to donate billions of euros to ease the security and economic pressures that force people to seek sanctuary in richer nations. Let me just get this straight, so the EU is sending 7-8 billion euros to Turkey for helping them out with the migrants and now there's going to be billions going to African nations? To stop them from coming... Europe are you insane?!

2:04:44 This is insanity. a fortress approach. A fortress approach is not part of the world that can be a fortress, we should be open to legal migration As talks continue Sweden and Slovenia become the latest EU nations to tighten borders With little progress made on returning failed asylum seekers to Africa The EU is still struggling for a coherent strategy to this migration crisis

2:05:23 Indeed, as the bloc seeks help from African nations as well as Turkey it seems the only strategy that Europe has is to make it somebody else's problem. Meanwhile pepper spray is sold out in Germany Is it? Yep! as frightened Germans buy protection against refugees. Have you seen that video? There's a video called, um... hmmm It's a compilation video and it is edited specifically to look really horrible but it's called With Open Gates It's in the show notes under the uh... The Video Clips Docs section You can- I'm not- You know, it's like 15 minutes long And it shows you the violence and the thievery and the thuggery

2:06:06 That is going on in Europe with these migrants which you just don't see very much of. In the mainstream media because if you're gonna censor or ask Facebook to be censored and when a government does it then it is censorship so when Angela Merkel says, you gotta do this that's censorship not a facebook just decided because they don't like it With open gates, or just search for it and you can see the video. It's really jarring and take it with 50% grain of salt like man sure its edited in a cool way with ominous music but you have to see it to really get a balance view. I'll definitely check it out. Well Germany also has another ongoing scandal which is their spying scandal which there's a moment of irony in this report Yes this is very funny

CHAPTER 40 / 56 Discussion

BND Spying Scandal, Trigger Words and Tumblr Warnings

A report on the German intelligence agency (BND) spying on its own diplomats and allies, including French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius. The hosts are intrigued by the mention of "trigger words" used by the BND for surveillance. This leads to a tangent about millennial "trigger warnings" on Tumblr, where users can set preferences to avoid content that might cause a "crisis."

bnd· germany· spying· trigger words· tumblr

2:06:56 That was our political correspondent Simon Young. There are fresh allegations today of inappropriate and possibly illegal spying by Germany's intelligence agency, the BND. A German public radio station says the agency targeted a list of individuals and organizations from politicians to companies and even aid groups but for many Germans the worst part of the allegations is that the BND also spied on one of its own diplomats. That is something that is illegal Throughout successive revelations, Germany's intelligence agency the BND has always maintained that it never targeted its own citizens. Should reports that German diplomat Hans-Jürg Haber was spied on prove to be true the BND scandal would reach another level

2:07:41 Without having at least informed the Parliament's intelligence oversight committee, this would amount to a deliberate breach of German law. For many members of the committee, the issue poses some fundamental questions. Does the work carried out by the parliamentary oversight committee actually make any sense when I have to assume that the people sitting opposite me, who should be briefing me and the entire panel are not telling the truth or not telling the whole truth but are actively misleading us instead. CDU politician Clemens Binninger believes that the task force charged with shining a light on the trigger words used by the BND should continue its work. Of course, the important questions will be who decided which trigger words would be used back then? How does this works and who is responsible for all of that? According to media reports French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius is the latest German ally to find he was spied on by the BND

2:08:41 Spying among friends is unacceptable as what Angela Merkel said in 2013 It's crazy this trigger words man. This thing is Chris. This is not so I don't even know to be honest about it One of the reasons I played that because they know you'd pick up on that mm-hmm, but I don't understand what they're talking about ah well I I came this story I'm gonna start what they're talking about in this story and I can't tell you, but i can give you some research on millennial trigger words and warnings. I've requested from my Razorback connection... Did you know that you can set your Tumblr preferences so that you cannot go to Tumblr sites that have trigger warnings? So you won't accidentally hit a trigger warning

2:09:44 No, I did not know that. So this is very...this is the millennials? So all tumblers who are participating in this bullcrap put trigger warnings on their Tumblr pages and if you're logged into Tumblr and you want to go to one of these places you get the following everything okay If you or someone you know is experiencing any type of crisis, please know that there are people who care about you and are here to help. Consider chatting confidentially with a volunteer trained in crisis intervention It might also be nice to fill your dash- That's the dashboard With inspirational and supportive posts like Love Is Respect, Lifeline, and Half Of Us Go back!

2:10:28 Wow, yeah this is fantastic. I'm collecting them. I'm collecting these trigger warnings Well that's fine but how do you use her at this report? What does this even mean in the context of this report It must have something to do with racism or... But what does a government, what does a spy agency have to do with it? I don't know Maybe it's just a hip way of reporting Just throw trigger warning in there This did come in from DW so I'm listening to more of these off-site reports, that's where I get more international news than usual because they're doing stories that are... Let's see what we got here. Well before we get into thanks and people, I'd like to do a little entremont since were on trigger warnings. Target made a big boo-boo

Target OCD Sweater, Mental Health Outrage and Safe Spaces

Target faces backlash for selling an "Ugly Christmas Sweater" that features the acronym "OCD" standing for "Obsessive Christmas Disorder." Critics argue the sweater mocks a serious mental health condition. The hosts mock the outrage, viewing it as another example of the expanding "safe space" culture where humor is increasingly restricted.

target· ocd· christmas sweater· mental health· outrage culture

2:11:20 Big boo-boo. Oh Target stepped in at this time with a certain portion of the population I want you to take a look at what they have for their ugly Christmas sweater collection It's the OCD obsessive Christmas disorder one in a line of ugly sweaters But there are people that are really upset with the message of that. They're making light of obsessive compulsive disorder There's some like 2.2 million adults according to the National Institute of Mental Health And they don't believe it's funny or cute I

2:12:07 to remove this sweater. Oh boy, the crazy target's not gonna get one! Yeah get one for me man pick it up so this also means that all those funny jokes that you post on Facebook with the OCD pictures of something OCD you can't do that anymore because your making fun people you're violating their safe space I know. Yes, and we do have some people to thank for show 7 what is this? 73 big show big show big shows 773 Let me get different. Here's the problem You know I've for some reason on this machine. I gotta get that what I have to do is make the cursor bigger Thank a few people sir Brian Barrow and Royal Wooten Bassett and he sure he becomes

Peerage Updates, Donor Acknowledgments and Airstream Travels

The hosts provide updates on the "No Agenda Peerage," correcting the ranks of various donors. They acknowledge a long list of producers who contributed to the show. Adam Curry announces his upcoming trip to the McDonald Observatory in Fort Davis, Texas, traveling in his "Airstream of Consciousness" to view the moon through a 9-meter telescope.

Yes and we thank you William Mitchell in Vestal New York 6666 Richard Altman in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada 63. I want to mention something here. I stopped it we had one of our...I don't have his note in front of me do I?

2:18:01 We had one of our guys, a new listener since I think show 600 or something like that. And he sent us a donation of some oddball amount and says you guys... He says, I don't know why i'm doing this but I'm giving you an odd ball donation number because people seem to notice that people use these odd ball numbers And I guess we haven't explained this to anybody since show 60 or whenever when we first started taking donations. And I'm going to do that now. When we first started taking donations, we had people would send in these crazy numbers just that were 1793, 1776...all of these just nutty and we would always call them out. We would mention all this look at this crazy number what do you think that's code for? If you remember and then at some point we stopped doing that but the numbers kept coming in

2:18:57 And it's a, let's put it this way. It is just a tradition that kind of self-evolved like most of the stuff on the show. Yeah if people want to donate based upon certain numerology we're totally cool with that some of it quite entertaining yeah Robert Altman Winnipeg Manitoba 63 and some of it is very powerful because The Illuminati know that power Vincent Ferrari in Suffern, New York and he knows the number 61.11 is important Sir DH Slammer 5533 Matt Seaver and then he's from we don't know where he is from He should be on here somewhere to Matt Seaver in Knoxville Tennessee 5510 of DHS Lamar his uh?

I'll keep track of it never mind Ben Doran in Millersport Ohio 5280 Marcos Miriam Nagasaki and Lima Peru there's a lot Japanese lots of jeopardy is that the first Lima Peru donation we've ever received No, I think we have another one. Okay. I think we've gotten a second died another donation from Lima Peru hmm He says, ITMBPITU. They actually had a Japanese prime minister president for awhile. Roger Esty in Palms Harbor Florida 51 and now the following people are all $50 donors including Brian Longnecker

2:21:30 Right around the corner from you, Texas $50 and that concludes our donors for show 773. We do have a show coming on quickly on Sunday Show 774 as we head towards Show 777 which is outrageous. And thanks to everybody who came in under 50 dollars for reasons of anonymity or the monthly or weekly or per-show donations those are great please keep that up it's highly appreciated Of course will have another show on Sunday I will be coming to you with a report from McDonald Observatory in Fort Davis, Texas leaving after the show this evening with the airstream of consciousness. Well it's about a seven hour drive but the... It is still in Texas? Yeah! It's still in Texas oh yeah yeah it's about us six hours and 20 minutes if you don't stop but we know that my automobile only does about 200 miles on a tank pulling the air stream of consciousness so we're actually going to overnight

Great Pyramid Thermal Imaging, Hot Stones and Egyptology

A report from Deutsche Welle regarding thermal imaging of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Scientists discovered that some blocks at the base are significantly warmer than others, suggesting internal chambers or air currents. The hosts briefly discuss the discovery before dismissing it with a "shut up, it's science" drop.

2:24:55 Go to NoahGeneration.com slash rings and let Eric Dushill know that you know what size you have and everything he'll get that off to you as quickly as possible I have probably the best news report i've ever heard I'm all about that. Again from, uh...I think this is DW? DW? And this is the one-this is a story that would probably warrant some discussion. Who's DW? Deutsche Welle. Ah! Deutsche Welle. Es ist ein Unenthel von der 3x3. No. Drei bei drei. Nein?

2:25:33 4x4 yeah. Hot stones in Egypt! We head to Egypt now where scientists are hoping that modern technology can help unlock some ancient secrets. Egyptologists have used thermal imaging to analyze the surface of the Great Pyramid and made an astounding discovery, some of the blocks at the foot of the ancient structure are warmer than the surrounding stones...and that means something That's right, and we go to our resident scientist John C. Devorak. John what could it mean the stones that are warmer? Yeah, there could be a lot of things yeah Shut up already! It's science! Man oh man all right

Trident II Missile Launch, LAX Diversions and Russian Posturing

The hosts share emails from an air traffic controller and a defense contractor regarding the mysterious missile launch off the California coast. The contractor confirms it was a Trident II D5 test from an Ohio-class submarine, intended as a "Demonstration and Shakedown Operation" (DASO). The timing is interpreted as a "saber-rattling" response to Russian bombers flying near U.S. airspace a year prior.

trident ii· lax· vandenberg· submarine· russia

2:26:30 That's right second half of show John I received two emails we have without a doubt the best the best audience oh, yeah Are you talking to your butt? No Are you talking through a toilet paper roll? Uh-huh and what are you talking through I'm talking through a tube That once held some scotch ah Regarding the missile launch off the coast of California to emails two from opposite sides of the event

2:27:20 In the morning, Adam and John. I love your show and will donate soon once they dig out of my budget deficit I built up this year. I'm an air traffic controller at SoCal Tracon! And i've been doing this job for over 25 years This is who you want to be talking to The runways at LAX have been undergoing construction since June of this year... ...and they have been closing them off and on for various upgrades to the ILS in the pavement It appears the runway closure at LAX was just a coincidence with the missile launch. Normally, they do notify us of the VBG which is I guess Vandenberg launches but we weren't notified ahead of time on this launch The warning area airspace has been hot over the last week or so as stated in the news report and there are procedures we use here to avoid that airspace one of which is staying in the west configuration overnight

2:28:09 Keep up the good work of the show, and if you have any ATC questions in the future feel free to ask. And then a follow-up he said yeah it was kind of strange that they didn't warn them in advance which would be kinda protocol for something like this but then I think you were copied on this email John we received the following from an anonymous producer Hi guys! On Sunday's show you mentioned the missile launch off the coast of LA John calling it a minute man Adam calling it a scalar weapon Neither these assumptions is correct Since I work here, but please keep me anonymous. I can tell you it was actually a Trident 2 D5 MK dot 6 mod 1 LE! I work at the contractor who makes the guidance system for this missile The DASO test was planned about a year ago But the actual date is kept top secret until after it happens We typically know that week It will occur which is why LAX had routes diverted for a week interesting because that kind of flies in the face of our Tracon guy but who knows

2:29:10 The test happened from the water, because the Trident is a submarine launch system just so you know. It isn't like we can handle firing these things One anomaly I saw in the media though... The missile does come back down Everyone's saying oh it burns up in the atmosphere That's bullcrap! The test was for the new guidance system we made and so payload does come down to ocean which is then tracked via sonar buoys Cool stuff If you're interested, I can share some unclassified material with you regarding the missile. But rest assured if it was a scalar weapons test or anything like that, I would let you know regardless." I gotta love that! Well there ya have it... I think he had a follow-up here? Well I think I was closer. Well he has bit of analysis

2:29:55 And what I'm about to say is pure conjecture, but for what it's worth this test was rushed. I honestly don't think it was exclusively a test one of the DASO which stands for Demonstration and Shakedown Operation tests take about a year to plan and execute and wouldn't you know it? A year ago in November there were news stories about Russia trying to fly bombers near the US some clarification The Trident IS an anti-Soviet weapon that's just what it is hell! The unclassified range is the exact arc from the sub base in Portland Oregon to Moscow What makes me think DASO-26 was more than a test is not only the timing because, well there wasn't any significant technological difference between this DASO 25 and 24. And we were all hands on deck rushing in the week before to get everything prepped I think this was posturing to remind Russian brass who they were dealing with and it comes from an Ohio class submarine

Paleontology in Georgia, Global Warming Cycles and Ancient Lushness

A report on a 1.8 million-year-old humanoid settlement in the country of Georgia. The discovery of elephant and giraffe bones at the same latitude as Boston indicates the region was once lush and temperate. The hosts use this as evidence that the Earth has undergone significant natural warming and cooling cycles long before human industrial activity, challenging the "global warming" narrative.

georgia· paleontology· global warming· ice age· climate cycles

2:30:48 We do we have the best audience what yeah, we got the best audience where we have the worst leadership in this country Well boy just saber rattling left and right. What you want to do kill us all? Carly and she'd be perfect oh geez All right, that's good alright. We've learned a little something They got a couple of things here there is a I think yeah, that guy here's a little global warming second half of show thing. I thought Kind of let me open up the gate. Let's go to the end. Oh, yo You know, we hear all this stuff all the time. People they have these kind of rote stories to tell us and scare us about climate change in one way or another but when they do these other kinds of like an other story they kind of slip information in that is something that you think the denialists would definitely be using as examples

2:31:52 And so they were talking to a paleontologist and there was some site somewhere in Georgia. Where I guess they found a little town that was 1.8 million years ago, some of the first humanoids had come out of Africa and they had this cool little place that they lived in which has become kind of a stomping ground for every civilization that's come along but let's just play this clip two million years ago settlement. Up to the hilltop dig site What we found here, it changed our understanding about early traces of human evolution. About fast dispersal of our ancestors and also it's completely changed our views about who when left Africa and how they were looking in what they were doing also. What are these guys doing? These guys were enjoying life here

2:32:51 enjoying life in a place much more lush and temperate 1.8 million years ago thanks to bones discovered here at the same latitude as Boston we know this was land with game like elephant, giraffe and rhinoceros but also large predators like saber-toothed cats All right. So this is an area of Georgia, which is a kind of it's not temperate anymore where they have lush anything was a jungle like area that was at the same latitude as Boston and this is 1.8 million years ago obviously It was warmer in one point eight million years ago in this populated area than it is today

2:33:39 So how does this fit into the global warming scheme? How come we're not dying, should we be dying is what you're saying. Shouldn't we be dead? Well I'm thinking that way. I think a lot of the global warming issues is the cycle of ice ages because that place was inundated with ice when the ice came down and retreated and were in process of ice retreating in northern climates that's for sure and of course it seems to be reforming down below maybe nothing's going on but this global warming thing is nonsense Just based on what these guys say. What is the guy say Wow 1.8 million years ago? What was the cook with the call warming going on yeah, yeah

CHAPTER 47 / 56 Discussion

Bill Nye, Carbon Fees and Welding Memes

Bill Nye's appearance on Bloomberg is critiqued, specifically his explanation of "carbon fees" as a way to avoid the word "tax." Nye suggests these fees could fund vocational training for non-college-educated workers. The hosts also notice a recurring "welding" meme in political discourse, where manual labor is presented as a universal solution for the workforce.

bill nye· carbon tax· welding· stem· manufacturing

2:34:17 It seemed like it was kind of warm to me if they had all these animals and it was lush. We're just going to have... I just find it very irritating. Absolutely, and we're gonna be dealing with this for the next couple of months as we have COP 21 happening in Paris in just two weeks from now The guy doing the rounds, of course because he's so media friendly is the electrical engineer known as Bill Nye the scare you ass guy And he was on Bloomberg And isn't it interesting that this guy is now the go-to guy for all things climate change? I think he's either got a really good agent or he's pretty good sharp cookie for doing this kind of thing. I think it's because he's the most dynamic, he's interesting to watch, he's full of crap, he's funny because he's full of crap

2:35:06 And he went on Bloomberg, which is kind of a professional business type television network. Yeah and well he finally explained carbon taxes to us but he didn't call them taxes this is the trick so I think Bill Nye may be on track here for explaining what is going to come out of the Paris that's actually not even Paris it's Le Bourget but okay The Paris COP 21 meeting Can I go back to another question though? Please bring it up Tom would Tom please bring it on I'm Bill Nye and kick your ass. What do you do for the people that aren't going to go to college? I think, so from a... and there's no question that we want STEM education up and down the educational spectrum. But not everyone is going to go to college. Right on! How many of you get... What a dick let me play it again. What?! He says right on! Now he's actually saying right on. Oh yeah here it is. The educational spectrum but not everyone is gonna go to college.

2:36:02 on. Not everyone can go to college! I don't know why he said that, other than he's insane. How do you get...I think this is maybe what Tom...I don't want to put words in your mouth but the question is with 7% of the workforce is in manufacturing 93 percent is in services and government spending how do you get more people? Wait a minute what were those statistics let me just listen to that again He was talking about the world's workforce like they all know these stats is in services and government Back back back Backing it up and backing it up. Do you get I think what this is maybe with Tom? I don't want to put words in your mouth, but the question is with 7% of the workforce is in manufacturing 93 percent Is in services and government spending is that true? 93 percent of the world's working force is in service and government spending seems high now How do you get more people?

2:36:59 employed that aren't necessarily going to be college educated. Here's what we do, we have a fee! We cannot ever use the word tax, we cannot say tax... He is holding his arm up to his mouth when he is saying tax because you know so we can say tax but if they call it a fee... College educated.. Here's what we do, we have a fee! We cannot ever use the word tax, we cannot say tax.... on carbon dioxide. If we had a fee, if everybody had to pay for the production of carbon dioxide and when we get more into the weeds methane natural gas leakage fugitive gas then when you go to import something from another country to this one you have to pay a fee for the ship making carbon oxide at sea

2:37:42 act like a tariff, a little bit. And then in the U.S., we would once again celebrate these what nowadays people call skills—people who can weld, people who can sew." So what he's saying is that the way we pay for non-collegiate people who have a vocation like sewing and welding... By gouging the transport industry? Yeah! Well just something else I want to mention before you finish that I've noticed this, now I just really noticed it. Everybody is using the weld meme everywhere. It was on the debates and that's on the news. Oh you know its great you can become a welder as though the whole world could be all welders just gluing stuff together with hot metal. Now actually I can weld. I can weld at an industrial level with... CO2?

CHAPTER 48 / 56 Discussion

Welding Techniques, Personal Anecdotes and Safety

A personal tangent about welding experiences. One host describes learning arc welding and CO2 welding as a teenager, including a painful incident where they welded without a mask for 15 minutes. They discuss the importance of mentorship and the technical differences between various welding methods.

welding· arc welding· co2 welding· safety· mentorship

2:38:37 No, I know. I'm talking about electro the stick yeah, that's this is a mask Yeah, let's see oh you mean the electric? I can do that I can with an electrode I've done that so what could you die can you healy arc I'm not sure if I am familiar with the term. What does that mean? That's high temperature welding is used. It's arc welding with a helium thing, I can't eat it. But yeah but the two I've done are with the electrode where you're holding it close. Arc welding. And the other one which I enjoyed immensely where you have CO2 and its machine then has

2:39:14 It has a like, pistol grip and the little electrode comes out but it's covered with some combination of gases. And you don't have to arc anymore but it goes on beautifully." I've also made the mistake of welding without the mask for about 15 minutes? That was the stupidest thing you could imagine. And I was fifteen or something and I woke up in such pain. Yeah, I'm surprised that whoever taught you to weld didn't emphasize the use of those dead mask We were kids we're putting together. You know cross, but you just taught yourself yeah, yeah, we put in together Another reason why mentorship is so important motocross You know wielding for welding frames and stuff

NPR Planet Money, Carbon Offsets and 52 Million Trees

An NPR "Planet Money" segment on the history of carbon offsets is deconstructed. The story traces the concept back to 1987, when an energy company paid farmers in Guatemala to plant trees to offset a coal plant's emissions. The hosts mock the calculation that it takes 52 million trees to offset one plant and frame the entire carbon offset industry as a "scam" that allows corporations to continue polluting.

npr· planet money· carbon offsets· deforestation· guatemala

2:39:58 Now back to this, back to the carbon thing. NPR so this is where it's going we know it's about carbon credits which is Bill Nye is correct It's a fee, its attacks but how was it going to work and I was surprised when I heard NPR bring implementing our scam that we were unable to put together Right on! When you say it better... Say it again Right on yeah, right on you gotta say like right on right on right on right on bill That was our the our idea was to what was it again? The buy a forest and then sell that as carbon credits. I can't remember Yeah It didn't work out no no an NPR news team recently traveled through the Amazon reporting on deforestation linked to climate change

2:40:53 And they wondered about a side effect. Their travel burned fossil fuels, as travel nearly always does. It raised a question they put to Stacey Vanek-Smith of NPR's Planet Money podcast. All told, NPR correspondent Lourdes Garcia Navarro, producer Lauren Magaki and the rest of the team traveled more than 15,000 miles to see the disappearing rainforest up close. That's a waste of time! And they started to worry that in reporting on climate change They had actually made the problem worse. That in reporting on climate change,

2:41:42 they had actually made the problem worse. And then when we came to the conclusion that it might be noticeably worse, can we look outside and see how worse it is? Oh man hold on a second. In a minute! Are you contributing to that in some way? We were pretty depressed So they checked out a few carbon offset programs Here's how these services work They tally up the carbon you've used in your travels and charge you to take that carbon out of the atmosphere But the team was left with a question. Does carbon offsetting actually work? Can we pay our way out of our carbon footprint for this trip? I had my mission. Mission! The first thing I did was track down Cheryl Sturgess, she invented carbon offsets. Oh...I thought Al Gore invented carbon offsets. I guess you could say that

2:42:33 But it sounds like a very big claim, but I was the one that had the idea. So maybe yes." Yeah well come here and I'll spank you! In 1987 Sturgis worked for AES an energy company they were about to build a coal plant in Connecticut but there was a lot of buzz starting about fossil fuels and climate change And the CEO came to Sturgis and asked if there was something they could do To undo the environmental damage of the coal plants Now pay attention because this is how its going to work in our future I was so excited. No one had ever asked the question on a commercial level." Sturgis started researching, and she came across a scientific paper that involved trees. Trees take in CO2 and use it to grow — so why not plant trees to drink in all of the carbon emissions? Sturgis thought maybe they could even put a little park around the coal plant! She went to some climate scientists to figure out how many trees it would take…

2:43:26 It was 52 million trees. For one coal plant? For one coal plant, yeah that was the estimate of how many trees it would take to offset the carbon that the plant would emit in its 40 year lifetime. 52 million trees! Let's go plant them. 52 million trees, so no little park around the coal plants but it didn't actually matter where the trees went. Carbon goes everywhere! So Sturgis found a program that was working with farmers in Guatemala and AES paid the farmers to grow trees as crops. The farmers got the money, AES offset their carbon and even got a bunch of corporate citizenship awards. So this is what it's about?

2:44:07 This is why all these African nations are all sitting around going, where's our money? Where's our money climate climate change. That's how it's gonna work plant some trees Thank you now I can continue polluting this is ludicrous that was a couple thing I noticed that early in that clip she said went to visit Brazil for the deforestation leading from climate change or caused by climate change. Oh, I'd have to listen to it again What does that? It's bull crap! Well we can listen to it again. Okay. News team recently traveled through the Amazon reporting on deforestation linked to climate change. Linked to climate change. Linked to climate change how does that work? Well I think

CHAPTER 50 / 56 Discussion

National Association of Scholars, Divestment and Naomi Klein

The hosts discuss a report from the National Association of Scholars regarding the climate divestment movement on college campuses. They highlight Naomi Klein's argument that focusing on individual carbon footprints is a form of "climate change denial" and that the movement should instead target energy producers. The hosts view this as a political ploy to stigmatize the fossil fuel industry.

divestment· naomi klein· climate change· fossil fuels· capitalism

2:44:54 What she's meaning to say is because of deforestation, climate change is worse. I think that's what she means but linked... It's not the way that sentence... it's not good reporting but that's not what is really important you want good reporting? Who are these people? NPR! Planet Money But that's not what's important John we know the true nature We know what's really going on with the climate Okay, because of what's happening in Greenland right now the map will have to be redrawn Oh John C. Dvorak with a mud flat report Well the tide is in this high tide about now and and then the mud flats are covered with little water We are not gonna die just yet

2:46:03 It's coming. There is a cool outfit called the National Association of Scholars, which at first I was like this is going to be one of these bogus A-hole outfits but it's better than that you should take a look at them and this is the director of research projects talking about how the climate change movement is working excoriate deniers of these theories. And it starts off you kind of think, wow wait a minute is she all for this? But at the end you figure out that she's really reporting on how ludicrous this is. The premise is that burning fossil fuel energy causes climate change and the producers of fossil fuel energy are pretty much unilaterally guilty for that climate change.

2:46:59 deeper reason for the movement though is that divestment is really a political ploy. Divestment as it means to stigmatize an industry, scapegoat someone other than consumers and to build political momentum for stricter climate legislation in the future. The most immediate aim right now is the UN Climate Summit in Paris this December where activists are hoping for a very strong climate pact. and divestment really uses the universities as pawns in this larger political battle. In most cases, the students who support divestments support those measures at all however, divestment activists draw a very sharp line between the suppliers of energy and consumers of energy And the divestment campaign as a whole would really let

2:48:00 any consumers off the hook for their own consumption of energy. One of the thought leaders of the divestment movement, Naomi Klein in her best-selling book This Changes Everything Capitalism vs The Climate says that worrying about your own consumption and trying to reduce your own use of fossil fuels is in her words and this a quote a form of climate change denial So trying to shrink your own carbon footprint is climate change denial, but going over it after the producers of fossil fuels is evidently the thing to do if you are an environmentalist. There ya go! Too bad she sounded like she was 12. Well she sounds like that girl that's on NCIS LA, one of those nerd girls which brings me to another point... so I saw that pilot

Amazon Pilot "Good Girls Revolt", Eleanor Holmes Norton and 1969 Jargon

A critique of the Amazon pilot "Good Girls Revolt," which is set in 1969. The hosts point out numerous historical inaccuracies, including the use of the word "newbie" and incorrect slang for smoking marijuana. They are particularly amused by the inclusion of a character portraying a young Eleanor Holmes Norton and a scene where the female characters examine their own anatomy with compact mirrors.

amazon· good girls revolt· eleanor holmes norton· 1969· nora ephron

2:48:55 Girls gone was a girl girl girls gone rogue No, it's girls going dead. It's an Amazon pilot no good girls revolt yeah the worst Okay, so here's the deal. And this is why I don't understand why you didn't get my reference because apparently you didn't watch it very closely! I watched it...I'd missed that but only gotten the Nora Ephron part but I missed that one nugget yes Yes there was a nugget in there where all of women go and they're...this is a bogus story about me You need to watch this It's an Amazon pilot Yeah its' an amazon pilot called Girls Gone No Good Girls Revolt Good Girls Gone Bad Good Girls Revolt Good Girls Revolt

2:49:36 It's supposed to be taking place in 1969, which is within my wheelhouse. Which is why I wanted you to watch it! Yes because...I'll give you a few things Nobody used the word newbie in 1969. Never did, if they did it was rare and I don't even think the word existed by then either during that period and then there's also some reference to smoking dope that was like would you like to smoke up or something? Some crazy reference that one little cute girl who is one of the main characters said yeah she said to her boss or someone do you want a stoke-up or something else

2:50:14 bogus. They never, in that era by the way was the era of people saying bitchin' a lot and oh wow and groovy those were like three... And right on! Right on! And right on! Right on was huge during that era And you never heard any of that jargon in here. And by the way, the bow tie which was semi popular now and again would tended to be a floppy bow tie like a like a PR sound around used to wear this as a bowtie but the bottom was it wasn't perfectly It had a kind of floppy, droopy look. These guys were wearing bow ties with pointy ends. I don't remember ever seeing that tie during that era and then of course the guy who was the jerk off, Jim Belushi is bull crap! That type of person never existed

2:51:04 And why, ah this whole thing was just annoying. I had JC and his wife Jessie over to watch it and then as soon as this held then the one thing that got me... So John sends me a note you got me And I'm like, what are you talking about? Yeah and then you don't know what i'm talking about this which I find even more annoying. So at some point the girls all quit or they walk out or they take off early they do something They're not getting paid as much as men and all this Nora Ephron leads the walkout yeah Nora Ephron so they go to this meeting of women that are just grousing about stuff and there's a black woman who looks a little like uh

2:51:44 uh... davis that the communist of the crazy hair and uh... which i thought they'd be referencing her cuz she was there was one of our errors and uh... and angela david angela davis yet the angela davis Just as an aside, I went to an event in the Berkeley Community Theater where Angela Davis was speaking. And sitting next to me was one of the really genuinely most beautiful women I've ever seen in my life and she was just gaga over every stupid thing Angela Davis said. Now you're thinking man this girl's getting less attractive by the minute

2:52:22 Anyway, so we go back to the story. So they go in this woman's meeting, they're having a meeting and they're all grousing about their jobs and their bosses and they're not getting paid enough which is you know modern theme. And one of them leans over there says who is that speaking? This Angela Davis person. Who is that speaking? And the girl turns over as though this was a big deal she says Eleanor Holmes Norton. And I go what?! Blew up at the TV and everybody, then I said Adam has scammed me to have me watch this because Eleanor... I didn't realize that made it extra good. I thought you would've noticed that! Did not see the woman? No, I went back and watched it and then I saw her. Yeah, Eleanor Holmes Norton who is just a douche. She's the one... I punked you man, I punked you

2:53:17 The Helen or Holmes Norton is the US House of Representatives person non-voting member not voting member But yes, she's yakking about everything and then at the very end of this scene They all decided to pull out their compacts and look at there that they're vulva. That was the best And then they did two girls a cute girl, and I guess it wasn't or they'd laugh We're not gonna do that John and then the whole thing was it was yeah? I would say yes you should everyone should watch it just because it Really poorly done. It's supposed to be some sort of like the way Madman was done with a lot of official This is the kind of clothes they'd wear this is where they talked and where they drink it's a period all that sort of thing None, of it. It was all crap Success alright Anyway yeah, but I'm gonna start the tape no tape is walking tape is running oh

World Vasectomy Day, Carbon Footprint and "All Juice No Seeds"

The hosts discuss "World Vasectomy Day" and play a promotional video for the event. The video claims that a vasectomy reduces a person's carbon footprint 28 times more than other lifestyle changes. The hosts mock the "save the planet" angle of the procedure and the graphic descriptions used in the video, while noting that their friend Brian Brushwood participated in the event previously.

world vasectomy day· brian brushwood· carbon footprint· birth control· satire

2:54:13 Looks like we have to wind it down. By the way, most of those pilots at Amazon is just they got nobody with a clue at that. No their pilots are shit. The shit is really bad. Some of that stuff was really really atrocious and brought you by Geico I don't know why Geico puts up with that Why they think it's interesting. They probably think it's hilarious. Tomorrow is an important day, today that is celebrated with a website and with a mission And it is something you're quite familiar with tomorrow is World Vasectomy Day

2:54:56 Yes, this is when actually the last World Vasectomy Day is the time that our magician friend there in Austin got his vasectomy on that day. Yeah Brian Brushwood? Yes Brian Does it have a video on world vasectomy? I don't want to see the video Do you want to hear the video No no this whole idea just...I'm not happy with It's kind of funny Okay play it We all have occasions we celebrate each year For us, that date is World Vasectomy Day. But what is World Vasectomy Day? Let's take it one step at a time. A vasectomy is a permanent form of birth control for men where the doctor first separates the vasodifference and then seals up each end

2:55:42 This prevents sperm from entering into the seminal stream and fertilizing a woman's egg. After it is done, you'll still produce the same amount of semen but no sperm or like some say all juice no seeds All juice, no seeds. It's an ISO. It's a show title! Can you just use a condom? For sure but it turns out 18 of every 100 men who use a condom as their primary form of birth control get a woman pregnant within a year with a vasectomy failure is less than 1% You do the math and what do you call a man who uses withdrawal What do you call a man who uses withdrawal John

2:56:26 I, uh... an onanist. As his form of birth control? Daddy! And while no guy... I'm telling you, these guys are funny. ...a doctor poking around in our private parts for almost 99% of men there's no lasting pain the whole thing takes only 15 minutes and there is no negative effect on our sex lives Except if you start to look like a lesbian. Right? You do 1,000 guys 10 guys are in agony Yeah! I don't want to be that one guy That's kind of high number You know it would me In fact eliminating the fear of pregnancy can actually make it better You'd think every man whose family is complete would get a vasectomy. But there are whole countries where less than 1% even choose the option!

2:57:11 So why are men so resistant? Well, because it sounds crap. Then you look like a lesbian! Bad information and old habits... Ah bad information. ...lead to fears like my sex life will decrease or my testosterone will decline Or I'll start looking like a lesbian The Luo language of Kenya uses the same word for vasectomy and castration But the common fear world over is that a vasectomy makes you less of a man really? Manhood is not determined by how many children you may have And some people don't even want any kids and that's their choice as well. A courageous man doesn't run from risk, he shares responsibility with his partner. Oh you see? You're not a courageous man! He doesn't give in to fear gets a vasectomy out of love Now wait for the payoff... And if that love you feel also includes concern for the planet

2:58:07 You should know that a vasectomy lowers carbon footprint 28 times more than a lifetime. Get your bit of vasectomy to save the planet! Oh my god, that's a clip of the day you can play. Juicing, reusing and recycling So on World Vasectomy Day, we celebrate the men and women who rise as one to take responsibility for our children, our families and our future. For some this means choosing to get a vasectomy. For the doctors and providers it means doing them. For all of us how we bring new life into the world is certainly one of the most important conversations in our lives. Conversation! So join us this year on November 13th as we make history...and spread some love

Warren Buffett, Keystone XL and Oil Tanker Cars

The rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline is linked to Warren Buffett's financial interests. The hosts argue that by blocking the pipeline, the Obama administration ensured that Canadian oil must be transported via Buffett's BNSF railway. They critique statements from Obama and John Kerry, labeling the environmental justification a "scam" that ignores the risks of transporting oil by rail.

2:58:50 That's why you insisted I listen to it. I just love that they screaming your scheming Girls one while and the other crap there's nothing like messing with you man this is I Need that clip by the way, I'll send it to you but email it to me don't Skype it Yeah, I'm happy to see that a lot of more mainstream publications are picking up on Warren Buffett and the Keystone XL pipeline decision. Let's see... And it's when you started talking about this in 2013? It was actually quite yeah maybe even 2012. Maybe even 2012, yeah. Then there was an interesting one who wrote what article this is from Yahoo! Buffett's $1 billion purchase that got buried in record quarter

2:59:44 He, so hmmm... At the end of the third quarter a subsidiary of one of its subsidiaries bought some 25 thousand tank cars from General Electric and didn't bother disclosing the purchase price which was 1 billion dollars. Gee! No wonder it's not in our interest." our national interest. I know, I guess the media is finally picking up on this what is to me just a big corporation scam Oh and big donor scam Big Democrat donor scam is what it is The president expanded on his decision America's leading the world towards dealing with climate change in a serious way Serious Global action One of the reasons that State Department decided that Keystone Pipeline would not serve the national interest

3:00:41 proving that project would have undercut our global leadership and we got a lead by example because ultimately... Warren Buffett. Hold on, I've got two clips here. ...by example because ultimately if we're gonna prevent large parts of the earth from becoming not only inhospitable but uninhabitable And America's gonna hold ourselves to the same high standards with which we want to hold the rest of the world. I'm not quite sure how it works when you have in one week three different incidents where oil tanker cars have derailed and overturned, is that not going to hurt the environment?

3:01:35 What a scam, what a lie. What a lie this is! It's just a lie and then we have Kerry but now Kerry this is going to come back to haunt him I'm telling you right now Kerry you're an idiot because he said oh yes well the State Department did that which he's the state department all right but took care of it so Obama was free and clear president's free and clear hey was the State Department who said that not me? I have been deeply immersed in this issue in this international debate because I am excellent for decades yeah and the question of whether the United States would be willing to make the same tough choices that we advocate to the rest of the world. That question has dogged us from the start. Recently, we had the opportunity to prove that the answer to that question is yes. This past Friday

3:02:19 I informed President Obama of the State Department's, my determination that permitting the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline is not in the national interest of the United States. I know all the arguments believe me, I know them backwards and forwards from last year and a half studying them very carefully. The fact is that permitting Keystone would not have been the long term economic driver that its advocates claimed it would not have had immeasurable impact on our energy security And it would have been basically irrelevant when it comes to gas prices for American consumers, which are already coming down as you know. But what it would do or would have done is facilitate the passage into and through our country of one of the dirtiest sources of fuel on the planet." What a tool! Unbelievable It's just a tool Well I have one little clip

Portugal Government Collapse, Anti-Austerity and European Regime Change

A report on the political instability in Portugal, where a newly elected center-right government was ousted by a leftist coalition. The new alliance opposes the "austerity" measures and privatization plans demanded by the EU. The hosts compare this to previous "regime changes" in Greece and Italy, suggesting the European Union is struggling to maintain control over member states.

portugal· austerity· socialist party· eu· regime change

3:03:16 that was not covered by the three-by-threes in any way. We mentioned on the show recently, the situation in Portugal... Yes, yes. ...which is pretty much falling apart but now apparently there were the government that was elected to be the government kicked out. No they've taken over? They've taken over but they did it through you know with because of parliamentary system where you got to get some you know your buddies. Well let me get the background that the party that won the most votes became the opposition because they're Euroskeptics. And so, the other guys on the other side made a coalition of small teams and said okay we are bigger in coalition but then when it came down to an actual vote, the guys who really won the election voted down their entire plan so the government fell."

3:04:01 And now it re-coalized, coalised... what's the word I'm looking for? It reformed another government and the guys who were supposed to win which are the socialists that are irked about everything going on they're actually in power now. Including their anti austerity. Yes. Clip! Yeah, absolutely. It was clear that the simple majority we achieved in the election wouldn't be enough to push through all the reforms my government planned but it would be fraudulent for simple reasons of expediency to step back from the political program we had presented to the Portuguese people

3:04:44 But the new leftist alliance says the program meant selling off state assets and slashing public services. What we've realized is that this government wants to sell off everything, having privatized anything from energy to airports it now wants to press ahead with a privatization of all public transport It was even going to sell off the roads and rail tracks The three-party left wing alliance, under Antonio Costa has what Pedro Pazos Coelho lacked a majority. But observers say its members share little common ground other than the desire to oust the center right and deep antipathy to austerity

3:05:28 Yeah, yeah goodbye Europe this how it starts. Goodbye regime change European style mm-hmm Which is just the house these guys and put a puppet in they did in what Greece once they did in Italy Italy Italy And they're gonna try to do into Portugal the Portuguese are you know that's that country is located in a hard spot That it's just it's their tough cookies and we also have Catalonia now are getting preparing to split from Spain? It wants to. Well, they did the MPs vote. Yeah, bogus vote. Now this whole thing is falling apart and the austerity thing is interesting because austerities only use this I think as a corrupting tool to beat down at people so they just

3:06:15 Cry uncle because austerity doesn't work. It's never worked it did we never did the austerity thing in this country And we were as bad a shape as anybody, but word like fine you get to do stores are filled with food is Mac and cheese mac and cheese mac and cheese there's a little bit of that and then bugged You saw that new bug things a new bug device grow your own bugs Yes Do you know the BBC? Did I did it a whole piece with ministers of Parliament and they have to prepare people for the impending doom, which is a climate change because of course nothing else will be around except bugs.

I think the public would enjoy the idea of MPs being fed insects but you're doing it quite willingly what's your favourite so far? Plain roasted locusts and I quite like salt-and-vinegar flavoured crickets They were my favourite, the salt-and-vinegar crickets are winning So there's a table of exhibits here. There is a stuffed rat, an excellent belt with rats on it which I'm told is the Royal Rat Catchers sash and would you just introduce yourself? My name is Andy Brigham. I am the research zoologist at Renticular Initial The Rat Catchers sash tell me something about that George IV

3:07:45 considerably older even than Rentokil. It's the sash that the official rat catcher with his sort of terrier and his cage for trapping rats would have actually worn when he was on his duties These rats on it are actually solid silver I've got to make sure we get it home safe. Worth a few bob? It is certainly worth a few bob, I'm sure We should take it to Antiques Roadshow I'm told it comes with a curse, that the winning branch manager every year used to wear it at special dinner. These guys are nuts! And two years running they died the next year. So ever since then I don't think anyone's dared to wear them. From getting stuffed rats and crickets in cream! You can try on if you want? No thanks The rat catches satch there, but I know your journalistic curiosity is really getting the better of you saying, saying, I wonder what they were like. Well I've solved that problem for you and brought in some plain roasted locusts for both. Yes, we'll eat it to his. Try not to look too closely at this. Down the hatch! Alright, I will eat it.
