About this episode

Democratic senators and the White House are rebranding firearm violence as a public health crisis, introducing the term gun disease to frame the issue as a medical epidemic. Press Secretary Josh Earnest confirmed the administration is exploring executive authority to expand background checks following record-breaking Black Friday sales. Meanwhile, FBI Director James Comey faced scrutiny during a Senate hearing for his lack of clarity regarding existing regulations for internet firearm transactions.

In Paris, President Barack Obama celebrated the COP21 climate agreement as a historic victory, while activists from Friends of the Earth and Democracy Now! criticized the deal for lacking financial compensation for developing nations. The International Investors Group on Climate Change, including Blackrock and JP Morgan, is now proposing a three-trillion-dollar carbon pricing framework. In the United States, Dr. John Christy testified before a Ted Cruz-led hearing, alleging that federal funding is biased against contrarian climate research and calling for independent Red Teams to challenge EPA models.

Cultural oddities and media friction round out the report, including a viral hoax involving a faked Stanley Kubrick confession about the moon landing and a runaway Boston commuter train that traveled five miles without an operator. Harrison Ford issued climate warnings while promoting the new Star Wars film, and Neil deGrasse Tyson dismissed the media's insistence on giving equal time to Flat Earth theorists. The program also acknowledges the induction of Sir Stephen van der Haaf as the Baron of Eastern North Carolina.

Podcasting History, Tow Center and Wikipedia Errors

The Tow Center released a report on the history of podcasting that reportedly contains several factual inaccuracies derived from Wikipedia. The document allegedly misattributes the origins of the medium and overlooks the contributions of early pioneers.

DeVorah It's Sunday December 13th 2015 time once again for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 781 This is no agenda Deconstructing the Ministry of Truth, kicking the M out of mainstream media and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star state of FEMA Region 6.

DuBois You sir are quite the poet Good work! He made another rhyme

00:42 John are you doing good? How are you I'm very well. Thank you. I just retweeted your tweet about the podcasting in the tow Center and a horrible podcasting work that came out with where they you were kind of pushed aside Some new guys come along claims to be the father of podcasting It's not that guy, but the thing it said is hosted an mp3 And so he's now they had to get first podcast yeah, I know now and Ricky Gervais is the podfather Of course makes nothing but sense Yeah, the tow center or whatever. Tow-tow-tow? Tow Center. Some intern put that thing together and pulled some of it just from Wikipedia. It doesn't... you know what I normally don't give a crap. Well you gotta do something in between all those calls from AAA. Okay Plenty of people have gotten that joke. No, I didn't get it You might want to explain that one. Toe Oh

NPR Business Model, Jarl Mohn and Millennial Outreach

Jarl Mohn, the CEO of NPR, discussed using podcasting to reach millennial audiences during a media appearance. Critics argue that the traditional NPR business model involving local stations is incompatible with the decentralized nature of podcasting.

npr· jarl mohn· lee masters· millennials· podcasting

01:38 I'll give you an in the morning for that. You know, I really don't give a crap most of the time but when it comes to something like The Neiman Lab... Well they're so bawdy about it! We are going to come and deem podcasting to be a form of journalism we will now explain to the minions exactly what this means beginning now And I just saw Lee Masters um uh I'm sorry Jarl Mohn I know him as Lee Masters the guy who hired me at MTV who is now the CEO of NPR And you know it's like oh well podcasting is and that's on the media show what is it called? No, no the CNN media show with a bald guy

02:17 I don't know, it doesn't matter. CNN. Um and he was about podcasting oh it's great how we're gonna reach the millennials which is... The Millennials! Which is, I mean it's incorrect thinking to start with They're looking for vinyl records What what's really sad is that you know but I want to grab Lee Yarle I don't want to shake him by the neck and say don't you see that, yes more and more distribution is possible at cheaper cost but your business model your NPR business model with local stations is no longer viable. It's an anathema to podcasting. Yeah thank you! That's the word you're looking for. That's exactly the word exactly

02:57 Well, Dave Weiner wrote a piece bitching about this. Not as much as I would bitch about it Did you hear the podcast though that he did? The history of podcasts No, I did not hear the podcast because saw this two seconds ago before the show started when i went to retweet the tweet out and then I saw your tweet or the Weiner tweets so I clicked on that and instead of coming to do the show I was reading it So horrible...so I got off that machine as fast as I could That machine is now infected It's contaminated we cannot... Contaminated with stuff to read Well, John we had a historic moment. Historic I tell ya! As 36 thousand jabronis saved the world for us and boy did they believe it! Well that's not the way i saw it... This is what I saw and I wish you could see the pictures of

COP21 Paris Agreement, Barack Obama and Media Reactions

President Barack Obama delivered a speech following the adoption of the Paris Agreement, framing the climate accord as a personal and historic success for future generations. Journalists at the event were observed celebrating the announcement, leading to questions regarding their professional objectivity.

cop21· paris agreement· barack obama· climate change· united nations

03:53 of the announcement by the elite panel and everyone's up there including that crazy, was it Christina? What's her name? Aguilar. No no no... The one who has a crazy face with a crazy eyebrow like... All that horrible looking UN woman. Yeah Figuereira? No that's not her. But anyway so here's how everyone heard about it when when the announcement was made That's right. Oh, I'm sorry those were the journalists Did you see that? No! Oh so they had to be there was a journalist tent. Those are your objective journalists And they're jumping up and down and screaming and have their hands on their mouths and... They can't believe it Video in the show notes Here is the elites on the panel

05:00 We've got the decision. Looks like there's no one against, and hereby I'm going to say this thing is passed. Positive yes. Here we go! Back to the journalists It's crazy that journalists are more excited than people there and they're already out of control Well, that kind of belies... I watched the whole thing through Democracy Now! and all I heard was this was a piece of crap. It didn't do anything there were protests all over the place Are you crazy? Yes Did you not hear our president?! What i'm going to play for you is a minute and half And it's the most narcissistic

05:54 It's just so narcissistic. He said that, yeah? It blew me away we'll have to deconstruct this because the president is grabbing the... it is him. He did it, he saved the world! He has saved us!! In my first inaugural address I committed this country to the tireless task of combating climate change and protecting this planet for future generations. I said we will protect this planet for future generations that's what I told you! But he also uses this country instead of our country Of course I saved us in this country. Future generations. Two weeks ago, in Paris... I said before the world... I think you made your point let's listen to him Okay then don't stop when you go crazy ...change and protecting this planet for future generations two weeks ago in Paris I said before the world that we needed a strong global agreement

07:01 to accomplish this goal. An enduring agreement that reduces global carbon pollution and sets the world on a course to a low-carbon future." A few hours ago, we succeeded. We? That's the royal we I think. Oh yeah! He has got a mouse in his pocket. It is the royal we. We came together around the strong agreement the world needed. Like star encryption. We met at the moment. The problem is not Solved oh because of this accord well of course not if we solve the problem, then we'd have no more parties to go to yeah meetings Are you kidding? We can't actually solve it all these places have been given a Copenhagen fantastic. We can actually go ahead and solve the problem completely We always and you know they built it into their agreement every five years we come back so woohoo

07:48 And of course we'll have to have the interim meetings to prepare for the meetings. and the president goes on because remember it's all about him But make no mistake, The Paris Agreement establishes the enduring framework the world needs... What? To solve the climate crisis This is not true Let's continue It creates the mechanism, the architecture for us to continually tackle this problem in an effective way. Now, we've had all this he did this he's told the world he came all together We have the framework and why do we have the framework? Moreover, this agreement sends a powerful signal that the world is firmly committed to a low-carbon future. Get ready, it's not about the world! And that has the potential to unleash investment and innovation in clean energy on a scale we've never seen before. Because? I imagine taking my grandkids if i'm lucky enough to have some... ...to the park someday and holding their hands... Is he implying his daughters are lesbians?! Oh, I don't know about that but its about him It's not about.. If I were the president I would have said

08:52 Now all of us can take our grandkids to the park. No, it's about him holding their hands holding there and hearing their laughter and watching a quiet sunset all the while knowing that today prevented an alternate future that could have been grim. Thanks I found that to be so incredibly narcissistic. Yeah, you seem to not like that speech No because it's all bullcrap You know i was listening he said i was brainwashed So just im gonna give it to you from the brainwash perspective Even though i do my best to not be affected by these nitwits I listened carefully to there's all kinds of people that did oh, yeah. In fact you should have seen Amy Goodman she was broadcasting live right? Oh Yeah She's there the whole time and you should have seen her brighten up When she says and looks like they're gonna have to be here through the weekend. Oh no Let's stay a little longer

CHAPTER 04 / 50 Discussion

Democracy Now! Coverage, Amy Goodman and Linear Media Constraints

Amy Goodman provided extensive coverage of the Paris climate summit for Democracy Now!, including reports on sit-ins near a replica of the Eiffel Tower. The broadcast style, characterized by rapid-fire delivery of producer names and timed commercial breaks, reflects the constraints of traditional linear media.

democracy now· amy goodness· paris summit· linear media· broadcasting

09:53 So she's pleased as punch to be stuck there. Now, I have a couple of clips...unfortunately because I had some technical issues, I didn't get to clip away like a crazy person but I want you to hear something that this is really kind of off topic. This was during the near riots that took place when this great document was signed. And I did understand that according to one woman who came out and gave a long explanation, she may have even been the ex-president of Ireland who was there in very haughty elite and saying that...no it wasn't her but somebody else's one of the activists said this is actually all put in place by the UN 20 years ago and these climate summits are supposed to be implementation summit center supposed to speed up the process which

10:39 gotten to a snail's pace. And so there was nothing other than ways to speed up the process that was defined 20 years ago Okay, I can buy into that. But here's an interesting clip of Amy. She is going into a discussion of this sit-in that took place...I think it was yesterday or the day before maybe it was Friday. It was a big protest sit-in around the red Eiffel Tower that turns out to be made out of chairs that are out front of the place. Here's what the anomaly is and I want you to listen to this. You know, at the end of Democracy Now! every so often Amy feels obliged to read off blather off all the producers and writers. Yeah when she has a little time over in the D-block And she runs her mouth but breakneck speed and we've had clips of this yeah well apparently this is so ingrained in her in the middle of a report

11:36 She names about three people, but she can't just give their names calmly. She has to run them off at breakneck speed as though the show is ending! In fact I thought the show was ending yeah But no it's then she continues you have to play this clip This is the Amy Goodman cadence heavily fortified Paris summit hundreds converged around an installation of colorful acrylic animal sculptures near the main plenary halls where they staged a sit-in then they marched marched outside onto the main walkway inside the cop called the Champs-Élysées, after the main boulevard here in Paris where they surrounded a replica of the Eiffel Tower made from red bistro chairs of the same era. There they posted dozens of notes with messages to negotiators among them keep your promises and the world's

12:21 The world demands better. Participants included Bill McKibben, co-founder of 350.org, Kumi Naidoo, executive director of Greenpeace International and Asad Rehman of Friends Of The Earth. Democracy Now is there as Dipti Bhatnagar of Friends Of The Earth International kicked off the protests." I think you're right. What was happening is they were back timing something and trying to make... This is another problem with mainstream linear media maybe we should just call it linear media You have to hit the top of the hour. You gotta get into the break and out on time, and beyond that you're probably just...yeah? I actually don't think that's the case but it is a good argument for problems with that sort of media but since you mentioned that they are so deluded at democracy now that they actually take commercial breaks

13:08 as if they have a clock and then they play music during the commercial break that we have to listen to. And then she back announces it, as though she's some sort of DJ from the 50s Have you ever noticed? No, do you have an example of that? I want that. No, no, I think you did play one of those if i remember Is it back announce? I wonder if we still have that clip Yeah maybe it could be under there under back announce Well its a word you would use Oh! I found a lot of interesting new memes and again I said I had some technical difficulties so didn't get to isolate too many but I've got one here And this is the ecologist clip DN

CHAPTER 05 / 50 Discussion

Political Ecology, Kenyan Activists and New Climate Memes

A Kenyan activist appearing on Democracy Now! introduced the terms "political ecologist" and "agroecology" into the climate discussion. These terms are identified as emerging memes within the environmental movement that shift the focus toward gender and social grievances.

political ecology· agroecology· kenya· climate memes· democracy now

13:51 Okay, let me set it up. This is Amy introducing four women—one two three I think it's four—four women who are all there to grouse about the agreement not having enough about gender and women's issues Everything seemed to be somebody's personal... Climate change is turning us trans. It's personal grievances seem to be the biggest roadblock to anything actually being accomplished at these events, but listen I just want you to listen to the titles of these people specifically the last one this woman is from Kenya and she has a title I've never heard it before and she also coined a word which I'll tell you after we listened to these intros

14:37 Well, to talk more about what's in the latest draft text and what has been left out we're joined by three guests. Chiok-Ling is with us legal advisor to the Third World Network she is based in Beijing Kandi Mosette is an indigenous activist from North Dakota and an organizer with the Indigenous Environmental Network also joins us, Kenyan political ecologist. We welcome you all to Democracy Now! Political ecologist? I need that. I'm gonna write that down on my business card. Political ecologist and she discussed something called agroecology I'm getting my paper here. I gotta write that down political she went on and on about agricology not agriculture Agricology it does have you looked it up is there a real life? This is bull crap this was kind of the theme I was hoping for today was all these new memes that are cropping up And you're gonna hear about these we're gonna hear about politically college. What's the political ecologist oh

Climate Accord Financing, International Investors Group and Derivative Scams

The International Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC), which includes major firms like Blackrock and JP Morgan, is exploring a three-trillion-dollar investment framework based on carbon pricing. Skeptics compare this emerging financial architecture to previous derivative-based market scams.

iigcc· carbon pricing· blackrock· jp morgan· climate finance

15:33 and agroecology. Now the first woman, I couldn't take too much from this thing...I have an ISO of the classic way this went. This ISO is the first woman from China who was there for her personal grievances but this is the kind of cadence she had. Count in the document. Okay so a moment about the document Now again, there's... Yes this would be something you would actually look into. Of course I read the document now which we'd already read they've not too much really has changed but it is interesting that they still are at 2.7 degrees I mean it's so insane that we're now down to Celsius No no 1.5 celsius! I thought no its two degrees celcius is their target

16:32 I thought they changed it to 1.5 at the end? No That's the impression i have Well that's not in the document It's 2.7 No, 2.7 is Fahrenheit No John They're at 2.7 now... ...it has to be reduced to 2.0 or 1.7 by 2025 Where's 1.5? Well there's no- That's what they talked about on these shows Okay well I've been misled. You have the document in front of you, you're reading it go on." Anyway well here's there's nothing really to read that's what so interesting is that seriously it's also... Why is everybody so upset? Because those are the things that have not really been negotiated the way they want them too but I don't even think that's about it here's here is the one thing I know for sure no agreement

17:26 that I have ever read is worth anything at 37 pages. This is a global huge deal! Come on, Obamacare was 2000 pages! 37 pages is nothing it's all strong belief will do um...I think they minimalize between the type of language changing should to shall You know, they should have their targets lowered and that was changed to shout. So it's really very, very... Minimalization is actually a different aspect this different word

18:03 Should, should, you should do this. You shall means you will. Agreed agreed now of course all of this now everyone has to take this back once they really plug in the numbers and then that is what the should and shall in not should ratify but shall ratify so we have agreed that we shall ratify this and of course were are not going to take that through Congress or going to ratified by executive order. And that will be, I think the reason why that language changed is so that the president somehow can do this and not Congress. That's a little unclear to me how that works but language was changed specifically for the US But it still just a money agreement It's really not that big 100 billion a year until i found... where is it?

19:02 IIGCC, the International Global... no the International Investors Group on Climate Change. And they're talking about three trillion dollars and if you look at this it's iigcc.org This is the big group It took me a while to find it and finally because they were represented and they have strategies on how to invest live lots of questions. Everyone has questions like, okay well if I want to invest based upon carbon pricing do we how do we make sure we don't count double? It's insane when you see it...it's fictitious! You can't see any of this yet we're going to be able to translate that directly into financing and they're talking three trillion dollars and if you look at who is in a membership ready for

19:58 The International Investors Group on Climate Change has a network of 120 members. This is like a NASCAR sticker job, I mean we've got Aberdeen, Aegon, Aviva, Blackrock... Every single institutional investor is in this, is a member of this. All the energy companies, of course. UBS, Chase, JP Morgan... Everyone is a member of this coalition and they're just kind of figuring out okay how do we package this up and sell it? It's no different than any other derivative scam we've seen as far as I can tell. Huh

CHAPTER 07 / 50 Discussion

Climate Protests, Mic Check Gimmicks and Activist Demands

Climate activists in Paris utilized "mic check" techniques popularized by the Occupy movement to voice grievances against the COP21 agreement. Protesters argued that the deal is insufficient and demanded direct financial compensation from developed nations for environmental damages.

climate protests· mic check· occupy wall street· activism· funding

20:39 Yeah, there were some... Well that's another thing these people were bitching about and they said... I'll just summarize the protests. And there was a lot of good clips but a lot of them are just people screaming the same old thing. A lot of mic checks! This kills me. The guy had a microphone and amplifier and he yells mic check My reason for a mic check of course was because they wouldn't allow anybody in New York in particular it wouldn't allow anyone to use my microphones and amplifiers so they had to do this mic check gimmick mm-hmm, and But then they're doing it anyway

21:17 Just because it's almost like they're brainwashing people. It was a mic check, mic check! Global climate people are A-holes. The global climate people are A-holes and but they were complaining that no this is not... Well let me finish. They were complaining that this is no good what you're describing what you're talking about now. No, it's no good Just give us money. Yes, and I believe that it's your fault that we're poor It's your fault that we can't... We have a drought in Africa. It's your fault that this and that and the other thing Give us money! Now you know what a political ecologist does

CHAPTER 08 / 50 Discussion

Harrison Ford, Star Wars and Climate Change Warnings

Actor Harrison Ford issued a public warning about the disastrous consequences of climate change for future generations while promoting the new Star Wars film. Ford stated that while the planet will survive, humanity faces an existential threat if collective action is not taken.

harrison ford· star wars· climate change· population growth· environmentalism

22:02 Now, what do American actors do? Harrison Ford soon to be starring in the brand new Star Wars movie. Oh people are gonna be so conflicted So conflicted if you love Star Wars yet hear Han Solo say this We're now all in this point and time on this planet And if we don't work together The consequences are disastrous Not right now But for our children and our children's children The future of humanity the planet will be okay, there just won't be any damn people on it

22:41 That's right What did he say? He said the planet will be okay. There just won't be any people on it How does that work because we're doing it all wrong I'm not I'm looking at this that the numbers right now They're still actually a couple of these clocks out there you can put them on your computer It looks like the population is growing to me Neil deGrasse Tyson This kind of flows into you know I've been looking at the flat earth theories. I found another dynamite one, I put in the show notes Oh yeah this is And a lot of the theories revolve around what you can and cannot do with an aircraft so it interests me because... I would like to hear what you can and cannot do with a geolocated satellite

CHAPTER 09 / 50 Discussion

Neil deGrasse Tyson, Flat Earth Theory and Scientific Truth

Neil deGrasse Tyson criticized the media's tendency to provide equal time to opposing views in scientific debates, specifically referencing the Flat Earth Society. Tyson argued that scientific truths are emergent and do not require public belief to remain valid.

neil degrasse tyson· flat earth society· scientific truth· media ethics· nasa

23:26 I just stick there and you know where no that's part of the whole look. This is the point, you're now Neil deGrasse Tyson! We don't have time for a meeting of The Flat Earth Society! What responsibility do you think? No listen if you listen to the clip then you'll know okay yeah hold on a second What responsibility do you think members of the media have to portray science correctly? Yeah, I think the media has to sort of come out of this ethos that was in principle a good one but it doesn't really apply in science. The ethos was whatever story you give you have to give the opposing view and then you could be viewed as balanced In the clip that you showed of the president

24:11 You don't talk about the spherical Earth with NASA in it and then say, oh now let's give equal time to the flat earthers. Plus science is not there for you to cherry pick! I said this once and it has gotten a lot of internet play... Internet play? Did he say meat or was he going to say...? He said meat. I think it was meat then they changed into internet play which I think is like going cyber? meet a lot of internet play. It said the good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it, all right? I guess you can decide whether to believe in it but that doesn't change the reality of an emergent scientific truth. Hold on he said... let me back up okay

24:54 Listen again. All right, I guess you can decide whether to not believe in it But that doesn't change the reality of an emergent scientific truth and so climate change Is an emergent scientific truth mean it's emerging It's on its way is still being developed as a truth Isn't that the entire point of science when you have an emergent? Scientific truth yeah, you bang against it as much as you can I would think so well Did you see the... I think we beat this guy up. He had something to say at the beginning that was kind of interesting, oh yeah he goes on about well the bull crap but you have to get a separate opinion about the flat earth which is bull crap, it's nonsense! This is nonsense! Well.. He is misleading people when he says stuff like that but what he should've done or what you should've done You should have played that clip and then had the clip of all these cheering journalists Which is actually what really going on Yeah, that's a good point

25:56 Well, we can always try it again. Or we can just leave it for what it is No, just play your trailer because this is right at the beginning That way I could be looking up this clip that I'm looking for Okay alright of course First we go through the president We don't have time for a meeting of The Flat Earth Society Yes we do! Oh stop That's what got my attention Why not? We have plenty of time No, but then we're gonna die We DON'T HAVE TIME We don't have time to do the show Here we go. Listen to Neil deGrasse Tyson. What responsibility do you think members of the media have to portray science correctly? Yeah, I think the media has to sort of come out of this ethos that was in principle a good one but it doesn't really apply in science The ethos was whatever story you give you have to give the opposing view and then you can be viewed as balanced This is what journalists do

26:50 You know, and I think a larger thing to look at here. These journalists if you see this video, if you see this video... This is so funny. ...you have to see this video they are jumping up and down! that these journalists believe they are the messengers of hope, that they have contributed. They have helped convince the population, the world to come together and hold hands. The dumb population? Well there's that. These poor idiots a lot of them don't even understand how important this is again the religious aspect of it all right here's the clip

CHAPTER 10 / 50 Discussion

Climate Denialism, 200 Years of Science and Academic Publishing

Proponents of the COP21 agreement challenged climate skeptics to publish their findings in scientific journals rather than using slogans. The debate centers on whether current climate science represents a consensus built over 200 years of literature.

climate denial· scientific literature· peer review· global warming· memes

27:27 This is the latest, now this is a guy and this at the beginning of the Democracy Now! show where they're playing music still. And this guy is one of them promoters of kind of the COP 21. He's a very important guy and she's actually talking about Trump and climate denialists. An there's new little bum he's dropped in here that I think it gonna be a new meme that we can listen for. This is the... Latest warming memes. Ah sorry hold on Why can't I find it? Got it say that climate change is not a problem and that it's not human induced your response to him It's straight wrong. I mean if he's got new scientific results That overturned 200 years of science and the false fault past bulk of the science literature I'm sure that he ought to be publishing them under the scientific journals would love to see what he has to write Are they in a jazz cafe? doing

28:30 Okay, there's a couple things here that he said one if he wants to refute rebuke 200 years of science of scientific literature That means that this climate thing has been going on for two hundred years Which includes the 70s when it was they were thinking it was global cooling time and all the stuff that took place again already science he wants to rebuke two hundred years and let him here's another this can be the answer anyone who sees a denialist that's good I hate use their word but normal for a normal skeptic you can use skeptics kept except assertion even though again yeah

CHAPTER 11 / 50 Discussion

Senate Hearing on Climate, Dr. John Christy and Red Teams

Dr. John Christy testified before a Senate hearing organized by Ted Cruz, arguing that federal funding processes are biased against contrarian climate research. Christy proposed the creation of "Red Teams" to independently test the validity of climate models used by the EPA and the IPCC.

john christy· ted cruz· senate hearing· red teams· epa

29:09 skeptics. It's newspeak it's like oh really you feel that way why don't you write a paper? Why don't you write a paper and have it picked up by the journalists to get over the scientific journals I'm sure they'd love to hear what you have to say well, The fact is that there is pretty much zero funding for scientific papers for climate research, unless you are very willing to be out there to prove that it's true. Yes we discussed this... But this came up in a Senate hearing which is organized by Ted Cruz. So, of course you know he had his shills in the first show he added and I want to play his opening statement if you get bored about let me know but i thought it was dynamite from beginning to end this is a doctor John Christie climate scientist at the University Alabama in Huntsville who are pretty sure won't have a job pretty soon this is not very good what he's telling us I'm John Christie I think that guy and I think he's been on our show before as a clip

30:08 He has tenure, they're going to have a lot of trouble getting rid of him. Oh tenure okay gotcha. Listen what he has to say this is about the scientific papers and even getting funding to write a paper I'm John Christie professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and Alabama State climatologist. I've served in many climate science capacities including lead authorship of United Nations IPCC I along with Dr. Curry have the distinction of being two of the seven scientists targeted by Representative Grijalva for investigation because our views about climate change differ from those of the administration My research might best be described as building data sets from scratch for 50 years to help us understand what the climate is doing and what it might do, and why it does what it does The 2 main points in my verbal testimony are simple

31:02 First, the basis on which the popular view that human-caused climate change is dangerous does not pass simple validation tests. Secondly, the attempt to study climate change with an objective eye is thwarted by the federal funding process. Now we at UAH monitor climate change for such variables as temperature however no one has a direct means to tell us why the temperature changes Our thermometers only tell us what has happened, they do not tell us why it happened. There is really no way to prove why climate does what it does. So now so try to understand why the changes occur we make claims or hypotheses using climate models whose equations attempt approximate all important factors that affect the climate if these questions are accurate We can then see how each factor such as greenhouse gases or volcanoes

31:54 might affect the climate and therefore we could learn what the cause of these changes might be. Now one variable according to climate models that has the largest response to extra greenhouse gases is the temperature of the bulk atmosphere, and this is a layer from the surface about 50 thousand feet in altitude as shown on my written testimony and you can see on the chart to my left The model failed this very simplest validation test They can't even reproduce what has already happened in the past 37 years. It's so strange that when these charts are shown and this analysis is done, you just never hear about it ever! Nowhere! Just never! You do not see it! Do you know the reason why? The cheering journalists... I need to put that on a loop here. They're so stupid they don't look at paper.

32:48 102 climate model runs warm up bulk layer of the atmosphere by an average factor of three more than what has actually occurred. Now, being off by a factor of three does not qualify as settled science in my view. Why are studies like this so hard to find? It goes back to the way federal funding occurs Today contrarian proposals such as one I might write that wants to say look rigorously and test climate models against reality or to test various ideas about how natural variability causes these changes are rarely, if ever funded. This is due to the fact the panels on which...the panels which decide this type of funding are dominated by those with the establishment point-of-view about dangerous climate change

33:38 Since there are many more proposals than funding allows, a contrarian proposal has essentially no chance of receiving funding because the panel decides these things by votes. Now my view... Congress needs to fix this problem by directly funding red teams, which are not part of the climate modeling industry. That I find interesting... that's pretty common isn't it? In most academic research or research certainly funded by the government don't they always have a Red Team? Or isn't that always...? I never heard of the term The Red Team?! Yeah Oh! I think that's uh yeah that was-I learned that from Rubicon They would have people

34:15 uh... working on something that never read team who do exactly the opposite this is a disproven i think for some reason remember that michelle to test the basis for the claims that human these climate change is dangerous idea congressman but i think it's more like an intelligence thing they certainly doing in intelligence and uh... was also in actually this is the job of journalists if i recall correctly On news you're living in the past well Neil deGrasse Tyson nailed it. You should just shut up and write what you told Shut up shut up shut up shut up on a newsroom the

34:58 The fake news show. Yeah, when they you know was that they had the big story that blew up in their face it turned out That the guy had edited the tape and it was a lie They had a red team! The journalists had a red team which I think sounds like this. Okay, dominated by those... Sorry to give you the idea now. Establishment point of view about dangerous climate change Since there are many more proposals than funding allows, a contrarian proposal has essentially no chance of receiving funding because the panel decides these things by votes. Well thank God the Koch brothers fund everything! I'm sure they can match the 7 billion dollars that is being put into proving climate change BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT Now my view...

35:43 Congress needs to fix this problem by directly funding red teams, which are not part of the climate modeling industry to test the basis for the claims that human-induced climate change is dangerous. The congress needs objective eyes on this issue because it is such a big ticket item for everyone involved Now It is no secret that the state of Alabama is in a desperate fight with federal EPA Our elected officials understand as do either state climatologists that the regulations being established will do nothing to alter whatever the climate is going to do. But what will it do? In fact, even if the United States of America disappeared today no people, no cars, no factories... The impact would be negligible on whatever the climate does Alabama is fighting for our industries which are being tempted by lower costs in Mexico and China where their emissions would actually rise if they move there

36:35 We are fighting for our utilities which sell over 30% of their electricity production to nearby states who need it. And we are fighting for the many poor people in our state who do not need another hike in their utility rates, to satisfy a regulation whose only impact will be to further drain their meager resources This is a time when even so-called green countries like Germany and Japan, that's Germany and Japan are adding to their carbon emissions by building more coal fire power plants. You know why? Because their cost of energy is 30% higher than anybody else's And the industry in Germany said, screw that we can't handle this. You should see what Norway is planning. Norway wants to go all... it's completely all electric or solar and wind and they have this idea, this cockamamie idea to expand their grid all the way into the European grids so they can sell off all that great wind and I mean the whole point of a grid as it goes into a system where people can buy and sell based on market pricing guess what's going to happen? Your market pricing is gonna be too expensive

37:40 too expensive. So now they're all saying, well maybe we should go back to coal? They're also... I think Germany's experimenting heavily with nuclear so this shining example is backpedaling and it's being misreported 30 seconds left for him while the rest of the world moves toward more carbon-based energy to me it is not scientifically justifiable or economically rational Yet this nation should establish regulations whose only discernible consequence is an increase in economic pain visited most directly and harshly on the poorest among us. This happens when the scientific process that allegedly underpins regulations lacks objectivity and transparency." Thank you! And it may be exactly what the elites are going for, to even out the poor so our poor are still... Eat the poor

Google Data Centers, Server Efficiency and Hiring Practices

A researcher from the University of San Diego described the massive computational overhead required for Google searches, noting that 4,000 machines are utilized per query. The discussion also touched on allegations that Google specifically targets single males aged 23 to 27 for employment.

google· data centers· server efficiency· hiring bias· university of san diego

38:30 Our poor are still, you know doing pretty well compared to Africa so we can bring them up a little and bring our guys down. Boom! Socialism We got it It's done And the crowd goes wild This strangely was not a topic at... It's another installment of Dinner with the Obots Hold on a second Have I forgotten? You had dinner with the O bots a new and new addition on the show yes, sir a new edition Holy crap I knew it new edition that would have teased it in the newsletter. I did say I did tell you on the show last Yes, I remember I remember that but you know me I do this shows over I go watch basketball And then I can't remember a thing I Stopped watching basket does the team finally lost the game

39:23 So this was at the artist's house with the artist Lori and her husband Mark. And she had invited myself and Tina the Keeper, it was very interesting... She invited the publisher of Tribasa magazine here in Austin. I've never heard of Tribasa. No, it's very small about 20 thousand circulation It's Austin owned one of those magazines you'd find in bars and hotels and grocery stores and filled with ads obviously yeah Very nice guy met him before but now we had got to have dinner with him but he has a

40:00 very, very Obot gay guy. I'm presuming his guy liberal... I could be wrong. I could be wrong. Yeah, I pretty sure he's gay Okay doesn't matter just it didn't matter what difference does it well? It added color when he went Donald Trump is outrageous! It just sounded more fun for the dinner Then there was a a young woman who had also met before briefly, probably in the context of a Lori Frick show or something. And she is now in charge of a museum that I know she's curator or manager some museum at UT and she's probably mid thirties and then we had Carolyn who is the fundraiser for the big you know the giant Magellan telescope and the one who got us the tour. The quarter on the moon? Well yeah well get to that

40:50 She brought her brother, her brother George. And George... Howard Glassman Oh, George from the CIA? John Ligato George works at University of San Diego and he is working on research on how to make big data centers particularly through networking more efficient and of course this research is funded by... Howard Glassman The NSA. John Ligato No Google and Facebook. Howard Glassman That's what I said! John Ligato Yeah, no we're talking the same language So I had a unique opportunity because he sounded more like a Google employee than a professor. At least when he was talking, that choppy way of talking

41:32 a little bit and he was trying to explain the data center. And I let him go for about five or ten minutes, he's like so we have all these servers right? When you do a Google search and this is interesting statistic when you do a Google research that search is distributed immediately in milliseconds right? It takes four thousand machines for your one search 2,000 to do the search and 2000 to determine the right ads to display. And she was very specific about the number of servers give or take. Two thousand ads? No, two thousand servers to determine which ad. Wow! That's a lot of overhead Well this is what he was saying the problem in the through the problem is that these servers are queued as middle seconds are queued in waiting time so often for the network The network itself cannot distribute the information fast enough therefore it wasn't interesting problem he's working on um that unused

42:36 That time sitting waiting is eventually translated directly into heat. And he claims that the efficiency of the servers, if you look at how hot servers get it's only 10%. So thats what his working on crazy kind of light projects and all this. But because its Google they get to ask some questions ya know? You know, we're talking about who knows about this stuff and you know... This is the quarter on the moon? The girl's brother. Brother. Okay so it was a scientific family. Very and they're very cute together very competitive. Yeah brother and sister. So at one point he also says Google is only looking for one type of employee which I think they should be called on because it's illegal as far as I know

CHAPTER 13 / 50 Discussion

Self-Driving Cars, Google AI and Ethical Decision Making

The ethical programming of self-driving cars was debated, specifically regarding how an AI should choose between the safety of the passenger and a pedestrian. A humorous suggestion was made that Google might base these life-and-death decisions on a user's search history.

self-driving cars· artificial intelligence· google· ethics· search history

43:23 It is. They only want 23 to 7 year old single males, that's it! Oh that's illegal? They're not in... now they will never say it but they're really not interested anybody. Well there you go and then the artist said something well you know traffic because she's been traveling a lot traffic is so bad everywhere it's clear the only way we can solve this is with the Google self-driving car Well, she got that right. I'm on board with that idea. Yeah okay. She's an artist! She can see the future. To which i said well i hope my smart google car chooses to save me instead of the kid i'm going to kill and makes the right decision

44:10 And then he's go, well that's huge. You and the... Why don't you tell the test again? You tried to sucker me into playing your little game but I refused. Well they bought into it but there was an interesting solution. So the idea is that Google car has artificial intelligence. It makes decisions based upon its input as it is in control of what is happening. Something out-of-the ordinary takes place maybe on a secondary road, you're only going 45 miles per hour But a kid jumps out and the only way is to drive off the bridge into the water. The question is, does the Google car decide to drive you off the bridge? Because it will know what...at certain points speed and road conditions, you may not have a choice or kill the kid." And then scientists thought this was an interesting problem. The answer was, and this came from Carolyn that's going to be determined based on your Google search history. That's a very funny answer. It's funnier when you were there

CHAPTER 14 / 50 Discussion

Beef Wellington, Dinner Etiquette and Social Hosting

A social gathering featured the preparation of Beef Wellington, leading to a discussion on the etiquette of dinner party timing. The conversation criticized hosts who delay serving meals for several hours while guests wait.

beef wellington· dinner parties· etiquette· social hosting· cooking

45:09 So Carolyn, now this... Laurie made Beef Wellington I want to point out. She made Beef Wellington? Yeah! Which is a very traditional Christmas dish. Of course. Nothing I would ever... I'm not trying to tell you but it was dynamite and she even had the foie gras packaged in there I don't know is that official? She was showing off. Oh yeah, how do you know that she actually cooked this or did she cook it at a nearby restaurant? No no and she has an open kitchen i saw her cooking okay um so then... You were there for the entire cooking process? She does it- It's all open so she's prepped but then she starts to cook Is one of those dinners where you show- I hate by the way anyone ever invites me to dinner imma tell ya right now

45:51 I hate this following sort of dinner. Oh, come on over for dinner! Be there at 7. So you show up at seven and you shoot the shit for two hours before anything is served. There's a reason why you're not invited. Or two-and-a-half hours and then finally at 930 when your starving to death or your blood sugar is all screwed up they start feeding you I will never go back. People pull that stunt constantly. This is why you're not invited because... That's a good one, but I don't want to be invited. That's pretty much it. So what else did you do today? I mean, I don't need just stand around shooting the breeze drinking Chardonnay talking ta-ta. No no. I don't mind sitting down and shooting the breeze at the table

46:44 Now, this was after the show. Oh would you like some appetizers? I have some appetizers and it's used as a stuffed egg or something. A deviled egg. Deviled egg. Ooh! Where'd ya get this recipe?! Mmm do i taste mustard in this deviled egg? Yeah, this is not no now. This is enough for me go on I wish you could be there in my ear while I'm sitting there prompting these lines Earwig a bug in your we can probably do it We can set it up with a little transmitter You know just Wi-Fi enabled and then you know I'll just have an earpiece And you'll be able to hear everything and you'll be coaching me. I'd have the cans on every talking Everyone somebody tell me to shut up as if you were getting confused oh

47:29 Now Tina and I, this was after show day. It's not like I walk away from the show and watch basketball and i'm all done. I don't watch basketball so I'm always wired up until you know...I'm wired but still in deconstruction mode and have to be very careful particularly if we add alcohol to the mix. Oh no! No, Tina was also...I said please... I gave her tips on what to do What were the tips again? Apparently they were useless. Who cares? But no, they weren't useless because I stayed... She brought up that bottle of cognac and like no, you're just trying to sauce me up

CHAPTER 15 / 50 Discussion

Giant Magellan Telescope, Moon Dimes and Political Defeatism

A fundraiser for the Giant Magellan Telescope in Chile denied making previous claims about seeing a dime left on the moon by Neil Armstrong. The social event also highlighted a sense of defeatism among liberal voters regarding the 2016 presidential election.

She brought up that bottle of cognac and like no, you're just trying to sauce me up

48:12 Yeah, that would do it. I did say that a good glass of cognac could knock you down so So and Tina and Carolyn are sitting across from each other. I'm next to Carolyn That's the the fun did the telescope girl then then Mark who was usually quite quiet But he's very observant He doesn't drink And I said, hey you know...so of course thanked her that she'd set this up for us. We went to the...you know we had a good time and etc., etc..and then they said well you know as soon as the giant Magellan telescope is built there in Chile I'm coming to see the quarter on the moon! She said oh you mean the dime? I said yeah yeah the one you said Neil Armstrong left on the moon. She said I didn't say that

48:56 I said, and then i looked at Mark and i looked at Tina they went uh yeah we're pretty sure you do she's no that's not possible. You can see something the size of a dime on the moon nah i'm sorry this is that's not what you said she would she would not relent oh yeah interesting was disappointed by that someone who listens to our show heard that And somehow, it turns. Well you gotta think that I was out there and she had a representative so i'm sure... You brought this up on the show Yeah that's what i'm saying so i'm sure that she and or other people had listened to the show because they were giving us a tour So i'm sure someone said let me see what they're all about

49:43 Hmm interesting okay, so there's no dime on the moon apparently not now at this point I don't see how that could be. I mean it was dusty the dime would get all dusty But we were able to see it anyway after 50 years of waiting I was disappointed because and she really did know I didn't say is okay You didn't say it and I have witnesses And and one who was not drinking that night Now this point You know, I'm like... you know because there was maybe a you know there wasn't really any political talk although that started to come up right after i said How come what's going on? All I hear everywhere in Democratic media, left-wing media, liberal media is about how shitty the Republicans are. I don't really hear anything good about the Democrats or which of course Lori goes oh well we all know Hillary is gonna win okay alright and so then it you know they had a defeatist attitude

CHAPTER 16 / 50 Discussion

Donald Trump, Elizabeth Warren and Democratic Anxiety

Voters expressed anxiety over the potential for Donald Trump to win the presidency, with some threatening to leave the country. Predictions were made that Elizabeth Warren might emerge as a candidate during the Democratic convention if Hillary Clinton's campaign falters.

donald trump· elizabeth warren· hillary clinton· 2016 election· vegas odds

50:46 I think you can notice this as well, when you run into true Obots right now they are so...they're just defeatists because they loathe and despise Donald Trump. Everybody else is crazy! This is what they've been taught to do. Extremely bigoted by saying all Republicans are just as crazy as Trump which of course isn't bigotry And here's the one that I love and i've heard this several times, two people including George said this at the dinner. If Trump becomes president, I have my passport. I'm leaving! I'm getting out of the country!" Yeah you know Barbara Streisand said that if George Bush was gonna win and then she said it...I believe said it again if he got re-elected She's never left These people are full of crap Well I'm writing it down and going to call them on it Don't expect it to happen but gee wouldn't be funny But it was really defeatist They really didn't want

51:44 Talk about leaving the country of Hillary wins. I kind of expect if she's still in the race, I still but you know me Yeah, I'm still sticking to my original prediction it is gonna be Elizabeth Warren and it's gonna happen at the convention Well that's possible You know, I didn't bring that one up I just kind of laid back. Well, because it's not on your mind like it is with mine as I keep looking at the Vegas odds But they were depressed John they were really truly just why would they depressed about their girls Hillary's gonna win? No They don't like her this is the problem they don't know nobody likes but she has the experience you see this Is what there's an experience of ruining the country and blowing up the Middle East

52:23 They think she has experience. She has experience, I'm not saying she's good but no doubt she has experience with international affairs...she has the experience But no one could really say anything good about her and it was just defeated, just completely defeatist. And then the museum curator... Well I think a lot of the Obot types also because they talk amongst themselves It's very rare that they would have a dancing monkey like you come in. And I'm pretty one too which is distracting. Yes, look at Paul attractive dancing monkey! It's not as though he's some fat guy scratching his butt.

53:00 You're like the guy that it's okay. We're gonna bring him in oh yeah, you know this shows you how good-looking men are stupid yeah I'm sure after everyone leaves like He constructed you leaving when you left. Oh, yeah. Talked about it. You know Adam and Tina they're such a power couple is too bad he's a moron I'm sure that was the conversation. I'm sure that I'm sure that's what it was Yeah Too bad. He's such an idiot now That's the way they operate in general the Democrats But I know I think what's really going on day that gives him to the depressive note And I agree with you from what? I've observed

53:36 is that they're fearful, first of all if Hillary gets in it's not gonna be... she's a neoliberal. They really most Democrats aren't neoliberals they don't like them they're the guys who cause trouble at the Kagans this bad people yeah and and they're going to be stuck with a neoliberal and then they hate it so the progressives always ride them about why would you even elect her? You should have elected Bernie And so you have that problem. But the other one I think is slightly depressing is they know she could lose to a maniac like Trump or any of these Republicans if they just, you know, hound her on certain things and there's also the fear that she can have their rug pulled out from under at anytime

CHAPTER 17 / 50 Discussion

Border Patrol Checkpoints, Racial Profiling and Canadian Fans

A Canadian resident described a three-hour detention at a Border Patrol checkpoint in West Texas after failing to carry her green card. The incident sparked a debate on whether the detention was a result of racial profiling or a standard enforcement of federal law.

border patrol· west texas· green card· racial profiling· canada

54:18 For some bad thing she did. There was one additional story that came to the table which I found troubling, surprising and somewhat entertaining at the same time The museum curator She has a green card she's from Calgary Oh Canadian Yeah a Canadian and she is brown So, uh... Yeah. Brown. Canadian... Brown? Hispanic? I'm not sure. Oh she could be anything. Could be. It's multi-culti look that's what you call it. Right so she and all of a sudden she like well i had a very very very horrible experience i don't know if lori told you about it oh boy but she was driving in west texas and she was led into which has happened to me who is led into a border

55:10 patrol trap. And these of course are by law allowed 100, I think it's 100 miles inside the country from the border? Yes and she did not have her passport or green card on her Which, I pointed out to her is the law if you are a resident alien. It's made very clear that everywhere you have it on you she didn't have it on her and now If it were to happen to me and I was alone or with another American citizen I would say am I being detained? Am I free to go? I wouldn't participate in it but if you are not an American citizen You don't have that right! Just Don't

55:57 have the right. It's that's also by law, but she was convinced they held her for three hours while they tried to figure it out she was convinced they were profiling or because she was black So she's black? Well, she's brown. Oh... But she was convinced it was like these Nazis and first of all this just came to rise in the Obama years it really kind of became a whole thing and there have been a lot of complaints about it and it is perfectly legal no one is doing about it but she couldn't get out her head that her color of skin had been used

56:33 to profile. That's how she felt when I said, yes they are profiling we need these things i think are unconstitutional by definition and they're shitty if you're not a citizen but yeah they're going to say oh you're brown you may be from Mexico show me your papers please and you didn't have them so you go into jail Now, they were just Nazis trying to prove something. Well maybe... Maybe but I think you're a little- It was very hard to get her to see that this possibly wasn't You know, a full on racial thing Very difficult now But besides that she said, I need to tell you Adam There are people in my building where I live in Canada And they play your show Like really loud In their apartment

57:23 And when I said, you know, I'm gonna go have dinner and I don't believe they freaked out. She's like you have so many fans in Canada That's nice. Yeah, I said yes we do we love the Canadians We sure do we actually know you know who the Prime Minister of Canada is so they go all Americans who actually knew Steve knew there was a guy named Stephen Harper and he was it was a dud What would his actually use a because a bad guy well since she bring that up? I have two quick clips just to This is from ABC.

CHAPTER 18 / 50 Discussion

Syrian Refugees, Canadian Military Bases and Justin Trudeau

The Canadian government is considering housing Syrian refugees on military bases, including CFB Trenton, despite security concerns raised by base commanders. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been vocal in welcoming refugees to the country.

syrian refugees· canada· justin trudeau· military bases· security

58:15 He's such a nice guy. What the report fails to point out is, yeah they're welcomed come on in but... The Department of National Defense has confirmed the government is considering housing refugees on military bases They're all going to an air force base This is why the FEMA camps here are going to become of good use. So Canada, oh come on in we welcome you! Oh you're so welcome here! There's the barracks... And there's the barracks. There you wash your hands here and take a, here is a hole where you can take a crap. Well the military is not happy! Make sure that you cover up after taking a crap. In Quebec and Ontario CBC News has learned DND has in fact been winterizing cadet barracks at several bases this week including CFE Trenton in preparation for arrival of refugees

59:06 Comments made to a local group of community leaders by the base commander suggest he has concerns about security. Colin Keever told the group last week, and then added The simple act of putting 1,100 non-military personnel into the middle of the largest Air Force base in Canada causes me concern from a security perspective. Even if they're the best intentioned people it causes me concerns." I'd say so! They should invest in FEMA camps

59:42 Well, you know true that the real news is Trudeau going on and saying hello to everybody and that's just a show us up Exactly exactly look how amenable we are. We don't have the problems that you Jokers we are not such a hill Let me close out the segment because I thought was pretty much it so it wasn't as great as always But we did get a couple of couple of nuggets You didn't get any white privilege or any these debates to get into no No in fact, I was expecting that to pop up Well, that's kind of why I went after her during the whole detention thing. But no there was no screaming...I think they were prepped? That's so good! They probably listened to the show. Yeah, I'll have it. That rant you had about white privilege after the last bot dinner was enough to shut anybody up. You're doing The Shut Up Slave! I'm trying! It's another installment of Dinner with the O5!

CHAPTER 19 / 50 Discussion

Les Moonves, CBS Revenue and Political Advertising

CBS CEO Les Moonves told investors that the 2016 political climate is "phenomenal" for advertising revenue. Moonves expressed enthusiasm for the Republican primary debates and the high spending associated with the upcoming election and the Super Bowl.

les moonves· cbs· political advertising· 2016 election· super bowl

1:00:38 So one of the things that you missed probably maybe Hillary showed up on the Seth's Whatever his name is. Yeah, but yeah actually I saw some clips. I didn't see the whole thing. I usually watch him I like his show. What? That show is so... that's the late, that show doesn't even begin until one or two in the morning something like that no it starts at 1130 in Austin what time does 1035 that's when the other shows start to 1035 yeah so i watch Kimmel and it starts at all those shows we're in Central Time Central Times all screwed up good for me

1:01:19 I get up at 7 on show days, you know. I can do stuff until 11. It's good! So Hillary is there cackling away as much as she can and having a good time. She was very personable. She didn't blow up or anything because they hate Trump Of course, I talked about this in the newsletter and I did have some negative response to it. The newsletter that I would mention was a good newsletter about freedom of speech... I thought it was a dynamite newsletter and just in case you didn't do it –and you didn't– actually pulled the opening segment from the NPR Wait-Wait Don't Tell Me that you were talking about that I think was part of the impetus for the newsletter

1:02:02 Yes, it was part of it because I don't expect to hear this sort of do you want to hear? This is the part of the newsletter. Well Do they do the background on the newsletter because there wasn't it was I think one of your best pieces of work It was a good piece as a good little lecture. I if failed I noticed It failed as a newsletter. Nobody wanted to give us any money, and we get...what we do have and I didn't realize it, we have a bunch of listeners who are part of the let's hate Trump because he's annoying. Let's be honest about why people hate Trump. Let's talk about this for a minute but let me preface it before you play that clip with a letter to the editor from a guy named Wayne, and Wayne has followed this show for awhile

1:02:45 I understand that the media is targeting Trump because he is the hottest topic to discuss and they want to attract viewers. I like it when no agenda notices that." Well, thank you! Uh...I don't know what we're noticing? We're noticing that their info ratings, news that the media's info ratings and uh..we notice it well okay. Do you mind if I play something right this very second about that? Play This is Les Moonves here's the is he just chairman or CEO? He's the Chairman and CEO of CBS. Right, so he runs CBS and they're a public company I think are they public yes yeah So there was an investor call and the way this work is you know you call into a conference bridge And then usually that the journalists go to the financial analyst hey Greg Corley

1:03:29 What are your revs for the next quarter? And he forgot that it was being recorded. The advertising climate couldn't be better right now and I've never seen it this hot for a number of years Third quarter scatter was phenomenally good, and fourth is even better than that So as the year ends and we move into 16 Guess what? In 16 We have an extra AFC Champions playoff game We have the Super Bowl and we have a year of political advertising

1:04:09 That looks like it's shaping up to be pretty phenomenal. You know, we love having all 16 Republican candidates throwing crap at each other. It's great. The more they spend the better it is for us and go Donald! Keep getting out there and you know this is fun. Watching this let them spend money on us and we love having them in the air We're looking forward to a very exciting political year in 2016 True Patriot, Les Moonves. Very good. I don't think he was unaware that this is being recorded. He doesn't care! As long as the third quarter scatter is okay... Like hey just keep spending! That's good we love it and then he goes on this guy I don't understand you know this is one of those letters where hey you guys are great but

Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Donald Trump and Public Radio Humor

NPR's "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" featured satirical segments targeting Donald Trump, which some listeners found to be bigoted. The program used Trump's refusal to leave the race as a comedic springboard, leading to a broader discussion on the tone of public radio humor.

npr· wait wait don't tell me· donald trump· satire· public radio

1:05:02 And this kind of bugged me when I hear it, because I knew it came from the newsletter. I don't understand how no agenda show has avoided deconstructing Trump's lies! We've done nothing but deconstruct what he says I've only...no, no. You missed it's different It's like if we had the vitriol and bigoted hatred which i did discuss in the newsletter that the media generally has towards Trump That would be okay Well I'm ready to play the wait-wait I have a whole bunch of big...your newsletter got me fired up

1:05:42 I pulled a couple of clips. Not generally the idea, but okay. It got me fired up! Good! This is Wait Wait Don't Tell Me which i don't like. I don't like this show and find it very cavalier... I can't remember the name of this other show if you find that wait wait don't tell me as an annoying glib show There's another show where they do grammatical questions and answers, and it's structured pretty much like Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me. And wow... that show will make you crazy. By the way I find them both highly entertaining. I like them. Well, the Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me also depends on who is the guest and how funny they are but when you hear this —and this was the impetus for your newsletter—

1:06:27 I should be contacting Lee Masters about this. All righty, here is your first quote! It is somebody delivering really bad news... I will never leave this race! That was a man who apparently we're going to have to endure for the entirety of the presidential campaign Who is it? One could only guess the one and only Donald Trump. That is right, Donald Trump! Notice how it was really bad news that he is going to stay in the race. Now we don't know exactly what Trump meant by saying he's never leaving the race maybe he means he'll run as an independent if he doesn't get the Republican nomination, maybe he means he'll just keep running forever! Maybe he just meant he's never leaving The White Race! This blew me away

1:07:25 Can you imagine saying that but replacing white with black? No. So this is racist! Yes, in which case sorry white people take your privilege and go home That would be the safest option for him at this point I know Listen at this point we- I just love the audience Oh it's hilarious fuck that guy We then talk about all the things that Trump did and said this week I'm gonna be honest, we can't do it. We cannot talk about him anymore Instead we are going to fill the time we usually use talking about Trump with something just as worthwhile Here it is But this is your public radio Now I'll be the first to admit that when it comes to Thom Hartmann I say... Thom Hartmann? Really?! And then this

1:08:23 Yeah! He stuck his tongue out at Trump. Good! What? You're so brave, brave. Did you know that the original family name which I think his grandfather had the name Drumph D-R-U-M-F. I don't think he would have gotten anywhere as drunk. The drunk tower? Do you have any sounds of disgust you'd like to add? Well, I'm sitting on one right now. A good line but still so Trump is basically a fart Amazing amazing yeah and that's the start of the show Yeah And then i couldn't listen anymore after that just said I'm gonna clip this and I'm done Very bigoted

1:09:07 In fact, it was outrageously so. But now it's a comedy show and that's what they're... So it's okay. It's okay. Comedy shows are okay. But it's not really a comedy show. Now the other show, The Grammar Show which I just don't know the name of it maybe somebody maybe some fanatic in the chat room knows but is actually more glib than Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. Now I listen to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me every week because it happens to be playing when I go to pick up this Saturday morning mail I always leave at the same time because you have to wait for them to deliver the mail, the post office box. And by the way somebody sent me something in the post office box that's a big package it will not get picked up till after Christmas

1:09:48 It's not the time of year to send a big package. I can't stand in line, that's out the door... That's not good. ...to get a package that may have a disc in it or who knows what but if there is a puppy in there, that puppy is going to die. That puppy you might as well just put it out of its misery now! Now, as you continued in the newsletter and it was like serendipitous all this You said, why the hate that people have for Trump who is just talking this just speech and I've been you know you can draw it. You can get to your conclusion but then I found...I think you said did the same people hate Dick Cheney who actually isn't a horrible evil man? No yeah but not to this degree they're not out there saying that and low and behold Chris Matthews

CHAPTER 21 / 50 Discussion

Chris Matthews, Dick Cheney and Trump's Iraq War Stance

Chris Matthews defended Donald Trump's criticism of Dick Cheney, noting that Trump was correct about the negative consequences of the Iraq War. The segment highlighted the perceived hypocrisy of establishment Republicans who criticize Trump's foreign policy views.

chris matthews· dick cheney· donald trump· iraq war· bill o'reilly

1:10:33 did exactly, I mean this is crazy when you hear it in the context of what you wrote. Yesterday Bill O'Reilly asked Trump to respond to Republicans like Dick Cheney who have come out against his proposal to ban Muslims let's watch They're all saying that this is an extremist point-of-view You're gonna alienate the Muslim world That's gonna come back to hurt America How do you react to a guy like Cheney? Excuse me, extremist point of view. I was against the war in Iraq in 2003-2004. Let's keep it here. Don't do it! Wait a minute, wait a minute. Cheney is the one that started the war in Iraq you talk about an extremist You know what O'Reilly's problem was then? He was with Cheney. That's his problem, he was caught off-face in that one! I'm with Trump there... you're gonna talk about riling up Muslims, you're gonna talk about fomenting Muslim extremism... I don't mind being inconsistent but Trump was right there Yeah he was right there and it goes to some of these people So they they don't even see their own hypocrisy They don't see anything It is completely blind to all of it Well let me continue with a note

1:11:37 Alright, let me find it here and get it back on. So he starts off with saying I can't understand how you know Jenna Shores avoided deconstructing Trump's lies? You know Trump speaks in generalities, I didn't even know he has facts but I guess he does because I've only heard you speak about whether his statements have some truth to them What?! Isn't that the same thing I don't know what, yeah. Is that the same thing? Maybe I'm- And if you've talked about Trump's deceitful comments, I miss those moments and I apologize Did you comment on when he made the tweet?! about black American crime statistics and then defended the false information by saying that he didn't need to verify information? Did I say- we didn't talk about that, did we? I don't even follow those tweets. What about him mentioning that Muslims in New Jersey were celebrating? That's still up for debate!

1:12:30 Well, what's up for debate now is how many because there I even have copies of the reports where they went and arrested people who were celebrating like a tailgate party in New Jersey. It wasn't thousands maybe it was maybe it wasn't but yeah that changed quickly from it didn't happen to well it wasn't thousands okay fine. I like that Trumps campaign is revealing a lot of media issues but Trump still has a lot of problems that are expected to be discussed on no agenda You briefly mentioned his attack on free speech, internet access. But I didn't talk about the details but...but didn't talk about the details what's going on there? No agenda! So he thinks we're up to something. Oh okay. Now I mean let me just say one thing about Trump He is all in on the Patriot Act and I'd never vote for him Is that good enough? I don't know. I think that's good enough

CHAPTER 22 / 50 Discussion

The View, Whoopi Goldberg and the No-Fly List

Whoopi Goldberg suggested on "The View" that Donald Trump should be placed on a Homeland Security watch list for his rhetoric. This coincided with a broader political push to prevent individuals on the no-fly list from purchasing firearms.

the view· whoopi goldberg· no-fly list· gun control· homeland security

1:13:26 This whole thing, it's all about freedom of speech. It is and the freedom... And Trump is just a big talker if anyone wants to give him a critique say he's a blowhard yeah he could be you can't do half this stuff he says he's gonna do! It's not illegal well I caught uh the free speech conversation going on over there my favorite show which influences women all across this country oh The View! Your beat! The View it's my beat and I love my beat Yes, Whoopi Goldberg agrees that Donald Trump is just talking. It's free speech but then she has a little gem. He's not listen no no because we have freedom of speech in this country he's allowed to say what he wants to say. He's allowed to do it however there are consequences now I have a heads up for Homeland Security because Donald Trump seems to be recruiting

1:14:21 you know, a large group with the views that are against basic American values. He seems to be doing a very good job for ISIS and I think maybe he should be on the watch list because when you do... That's a good idea! Yeah, that's a good idea I didn't get a lot of clips on this, but there was over and over the Republicans were all... Everybody was all in on this idea of taking gun rights away from people who are on the no-fly list. Have you noticed this? Yeah, it's like everybody is all in on this idea. In fact Hillary brought it up on Seth's show. She brought it up and yeah well that's a really good... I don't have that clip because I'm keeping it. I have a clip from that show of Hillary on Seth Meyers one clip

1:15:12 Which I think is... You know, it's irrational. There are obviously so many guns in this country We're never getting those guns back Those people are going to have those guns No one is coming for anyone's gun Let's try to be a little bit more reasonable with who the next guns go to Well that's exactly right They want people to feel like you know The black helicopter is gonna land In the backyard and your guns will be taken Totally unbelievably untrue Ah! Thou protesteth too much, methinketh Why would she know this? It's totally untrue. Totally, completely crazy untrue. Get out of my vagina! Sorry. Tourette's Alright so I have a couple of clips that are longer Now there were two clips that were interesting One was Hillary talking about what Bill is going to do as the house husband And that was actually funny Only because it had to have steamed Bill up

CHAPTER 23 / 50 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, Seth Meyers and the ISIS Recruitment Meme

Hillary Clinton appeared on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" to argue that Donald Trump's comments about Muslims are "dangerous" and serve as a recruitment tool for ISIS. This narrative has become a prominent meme in the 2016 presidential campaign.

hillary clinton· seth meyers· isis· donald trump· political memes

1:16:08 Because she made him look like an idiot. We need to play that or we can play Hillary on Trump where she reports yet another of these anti-Trump memes which has just cropped up, another meme to look out for which is that he's dangerous. Yes! He's very dangerous. Dangerous. Very very dangerous I want to ask you a couple questions about Donald Trump First question, have you heard about him? You know I have to say Seth I no longer think he's funny. Yes, that is the meme! That is the meme...I heard it three times this morning Oh look, It was funny when you started and now its not funny anymore We gotta get serious people, Its no longer funny we should probably lock him up This is all over mainstream news yes it is I no longer think hes funny yes I will say I started feeling that way

1:17:11 I think for weeks you and everybody else were just bringing folks to hysterical laughter and all of that. But now he has gone way over the line, and what he's saying now is... The line! It's the line that's drawn in the sand it's a lie of etiquette, it's the line of speaking properly. The line of being correct and nice and friendly and loving." Not only shameful and wrong, it's dangerous! These are his comments about Muslim women. Dangerous! Now John how is this dangerous? I wish I knew because he's riling up people and they are crazy to get their vote They're crazy they're crazy they will kill the crazy

1:17:55 He's been kind of an equal opportunity insulter. He's gone after all kinds of folks I think the line is equal opportunity offender, but has he mentioned you at all? A few times Now that I can laugh about because it's about me You're in good company with the world This latest demand that we not let Muslims into our country really plays right into the hands of the terrorists and I don't say that lightly. Yeah, she doesn't say that lightly but she just did. This is the meme that he is helping ISIS. Yes somehow As we predicted you can just say ISIS and put it on anything so now its even Donald Trump out here saying he's helping ISIS. I'm surprised it's not blamed on global warming So one of our producers Stek sent me a

The Economist, Zanny Minton Beddoes and Internationalism

Zanny Minton Beddoes has taken over as editor-in-chief of The Economist, leading to a perceived shift toward a more accusatory and internationalist editorial tone. Critics suggest her background with the IMF influences the magazine's coverage of populist movements.

the economist· zanny minton beddoes· imf· internationalism· journalism

1:18:50 You didn't read it, I did. An article again... Yeah from The Economist, I read the article So it's an economist article with a front page with the cover of Trump, Le Pen and... Oh no that was it? That didn't look like Le Pen okay yeah It had to be Lepin, his only woman. Yeah, yeah. Teardrill was in the middle here and then he talked about populism how bad it is and how horrible it is and Trump's a jerk! Is what the thing came out to me I noticed this and I sent a note back to Stec thinking that he would maybe do something other than come back with a remark that he did In other words you didn't do anything

1:19:29 I noticed this, that economists for quite a few months has been running articles that just do not meet the old standards of the economist. The economist is kind of borderline laissez-faire libertarian free market capitalism operation that had a certain point of view that has distinctly changed And I mean distinctly changed. And so, I decided to take...I said well, you know simple Google search new editor economist and bingo Ms. Zanny or Zaney or whatever her name is and tell me this isn't the latest name Zanny Minton Beddoes

1:20:12 Hello, has taken over as the new editor in chief as of January. Which makes sense to me because all that the economists have changed is because this article on the on the new populace with with right wingers and nutcases the way she has it discussed, was not explanatory. It was accusatory very different than what I expect from the economists. I expect the economist to give me some sort of a deeper explanation of things kind of like what we do on this show in many cases most cases but i expect that from them and but no i'm not getting there just getting if somebody shaking their fist and this woman is old she's been at the contest for awhile she's moved her way up from simpler chores but she or she stems from the IMF

1:20:57 Ah, there you go. And that's the key to this. She is an internationalist obviously to me I could be wrong she could probably deny it but i see her as one of those internationalists one world government type she's taken over the economists helm which means that she calls the shots on how the magazine comes out and it stinks what's interesting you know i follow international news and most of it is dutch and german dutch i read fluently german pretty well french not so but i can get by But the rhetoric about Donald Trump has spread to the Dutch media.

1:21:32 In two interesting ways. There was a big article in Algemeen Dagblad and the headline is Donald Trump left nothing but disaster in our country! And this stems back to 88, 89 I think... What? Yes that's how far back they're going. No but what disaster are we talking about? Oh well the disaster is twofold one is he wanted to buy one of the biggest shipbuilding wharfs But he started by ordering a ship And so the ship was being built and he said, you know screw it we're going to buy this. And then he pulled out of the deal and someone else had come in by it and the ship was still there and the town where the shipyard is was afraid that... So took him a while to recover from the failed sale. The other one was he was going to build

European Media, Alexandra Pelosi and Trump's Reputation Abroad

European media outlets, particularly in the Netherlands and Belgium, have been highly critical of Donald Trump, framing him as a warning to the world. Correspondent Michiel Voss, who is married to Alexandra Pelosi, has been a vocal critic of Trump's impact on America's global image.

alexandra pelosi· nancy pelosi· europe· dutch media· donald trump

1:20:57 Ah, there you go. And that's the key to this. She is an internationalist obviously to me I could be wrong she could probably deny it but i see her as one of those internationalists one world government type she's taken over the economists helm which means that she calls the shots on how the magazine comes out and it stinks what's interesting you know i follow international news and most of it is dutch and german dutch i read fluently german pretty well french not so but i can get by But the rhetoric about Donald Trump has spread to the Dutch media.

So took him a while to recover from the failed sale. The other one was he was going to build

1:22:20 the big Trump Tower in Atlanta, and he did a road show and Ivanka came along. And they I think they raised $30 million from Dutch investor group for the seed money but this was at 2007. The Dutch really formed the basis for the investor group you know? The way Trump operates everything's leveraged which now oh! He didn't have any of his own money in there it was all leveraged hello that's how it works this is not a big secret But what really struck me, and that's a kicker at the end of this. There...let me see where is this interview? I forget where it was. The person who is being interviewed is Michiel Voss he works for Dutch and Belgian television And I think this..I'm not...I think for the Belgians its the same but for the Dutch This is exactly the thinking about Donald Trump The way....and about America honestly What Europeans are just gonna

1:23:16 package them together what the Dutch think about what is going on. What is uh the reaction that you hear from relatives, from friends from people back home in Europe? Well let's say that most of those relatives and friends say America is our example but America has always also are shall we say our warning. You bring us the goods Star Wars and you bring us not so good Trump there you go we bring us to good with this star wars and you bring us not so good at this trump So now it's safe to say that most of Europe right now is rooting for J.J. Abrams and not for Donald Trump, and they look at this, they look at Trump and the phenomena, and they say how can this be that this guy has been on top? Not only this big but also for so long! It must say something about part of the American electorate." He does have some support over there right? You've got some very conservative... you've got the leader of the far-right Dutch party Far Right I always say wrong

1:24:09 Geert Wilders, you can think of him. He calls him a strong man we need he supports him for president and of course the French have overwhelmingly you know strong vote for Le Pen Marine Le Pen the French leader on the extreme right Extreme rights? She's so extreme I can't even see her hello Marie are you still in the game here so extreme right which is bullshit to call it that you're calling her an extremist So let's not forget yes there is but all those Europeans I call and talk to they say Our leaders, they may say extreme things like Gerd Wilders or Marine Le Pen. But they have to somehow come up with some sort of plan behind it, some sort of position paper and op-ed in our New York Times that said Le Monde or something here with Trump we only get the quotes and then they call me and I say is there anything behind the quotes? Is there anything behind a slogan? And I say no, no, there's nothing is just soapboxes slogans all the time. So this journalist who works for you know he's a foreign correspondent

1:25:06 He is claiming that there's been no position papers. There's been no release of anything particularly by Donald Trump It was just factually incorrect, but he said no it's just slogans and of course it will be for not too long That one European politician one upstart will say you know what I'm gonna do the same It's just slogans that works in America. It's gonna work here to oh be careful boy It's dangerous in Britain the Prime Minister David Cameron of the Conservative Party dismissed. Mr Trump's position is divisive unhelpful and quite simply wrong In France the prime minister Manuel Valls said mr. Trump like others feels hatred and our only enemy is radical Islamism. Do you sense that those leaders, let's just play this out if Donald Trump were the president of the United States what would happen? So I called the Belgian TV that I work for and I said so guys it's January 2017 Donald and Melania come down the stairs of Air Force One and they're coming to talk to the European Union there were giggles and there was outright panic. They think who is

1:26:06 Who's he gonna work with? Who is he going to listen to? He doesn't listen to anybody right now, let alone... He says he's gonna work with everyone. They don't believe that at all! They hear an American hardline and we're used to something We did deal or not deal with George W Bush but this is from a totally different order And they also say one more thing. After Paris, there was a certain unity in France There were calls for we gotta do something We got to strike back But there was a certain unity They, the Europeans don't see that unity at all right now in America and they look at this and they say Sure America can solve this problem This is the can-do country You are big brother you can take care of almost anything Big brother! Let's do it Is the American slogan And you fall apart over this? Now its terrorism at your door It's big Its brutal but sure you could come up with something

1:26:53 Now, the kicker is... This guy, who works for a number of very sophisticated elitist programs. He used to work for Bant and Verdorp. These are all talk shows where politics are discussed continuously. Works for government-controlled media as well. He's married to Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of... The movie producer Pelosi? Yes!

1:27:41 Wow. Yes, daughter of Senator Pelosi So how can this guy doesn't sound very objective when he's doing this certainly not when you know understand if he hangs out with Nancy Really hate Trump Well, there's just a bunch of haters. That's the way I see it. But it's interesting how the media flows... Probably about half of our listeners would not to insult anyone but I would say half of them would fall into that camp. As witnesses by this letter they just have you know we can only do so much to keep people watching their main attraction rather than the side shows and We're not going to ever be successful with this Trump thing.

Conspiracy Theories, Trojan Horses and Political Dirty Tricks

The BBC and other outlets have explored conspiracy theories suggesting Donald Trump is a "Trojan Horse" for the Democratic Party. Meanwhile, rumors regarding Marco Rubio's personal life have been attributed to potential "dirty tricks" campaigns by rival candidates.

bbc· trojan horse· clinton foundation· marco rubio· jeb bush

1:28:25 is a sideshow that is extremely interesting because it forces people to take sides, shows what some people are really thinking. Is that maybe as populist chatter is what a lot of people want rather than the political correct crap that is out there where you can't say this or you can't say that... You know? You can't say anything! And then BBC News comes out, headline is Donald Trump a Democratic secret agent. Since when did conspiracy theories become okay over there at the BBC? This is not the first time that this has shown up No but this is BBC You're exactly right How does a... what would normally be considered a crackpot conspiracy theory Yeah That this guy is a Democrat you know and he's actually working for The Clintons

1:29:19 Because you can find pictures of him with the Clintons. And he's just in there as a Trojan horse to screw the Republicans over is crazy! That's crazier than... Than the moon landing, yeah. Now The Wall Street Journal they're finally doing what I expected happened long time ago headline Trump and The Goodfellas The presidential candidate says he didn't know he was doing business with the mob, and he's talking about the 80s in construction. So they're finally kind of trying to float it a little bit but I don't think anyone...I think they're too chicken shit that do anything about it." Well if you can end up with a dead horse head in their bed. That's how we roll. That's one possibility. The other thing is this obvious that Trump has well I mean he's…you can't be in the businesses without especially New York City without and especially Manhattan without

1:30:07 heavy down of course connect and Jewish connections both the Jewish mob to mm-hmm, and he I Believe that a lot of the dirty tricks. I'm witnessing And I see a lot of them that are just so fantastic where you know the Rubio letters are my favorite You know somehow Ruby has has a child out of wedlock is a rumor going around for yeah That's a good as a child out of wedlock, and I think it looks as if jeb Bush is behind this rumor Oh, that's possible. That's obvious to me that if anybody is behind this rumor it's Trump or one of Trump's geeks got a dirty tricks guy. You know, Trump goes back far enough to know that most political campaigns during especially during the Nixon era were dominated by dirty tricks. Nixon has Segretti there was this other guy who hated Nixon and kept pulling dirty tricks. Happens all the time

1:30:58 It was like these dirty tricks keep cropping up. And Trump is not, if anybody could do these tricks and pull them off looking unscathed, unscathed means that no one points the finger at you which is the situation it would have to be Trump and his connections but nobody knows, nobody sees that They just see Rubio's had a kid out of wedlock, that Jeb Bush is an A-hole. You know both those things may be true but how do we know any of this? Why did this even come up in the news?" Anderson Cooper pulled the fast one it was flabbergasting! This would...this was let through and you know it aired

Anonymous Hacktivists, Trump Tower and ISIS Cyberwar

The hacktivist group Anonymous claimed responsibility for taking the Trump Tower website offline in protest of Donald Trump's proposed Muslim ban. The group has also been active in reporting ISIS-linked Twitter accounts, though the effectiveness of these actions is debated.

anonymous· hacktivism· trump tower· isis· cyber attacks

1:31:39 Of course, it's after 8 p.m.. And it's on cable but still I've nothing I've ever heard this On CNN at a November rally Trump had some of his strongest words yet We got to go and we gotta knock the shit out of these people so that aired That's not typical for Mainstream media to air the s-word no very unusual yeah incredibly unusual huh mm-hmm I don't know what the point of that was. It was obviously to make Trump seem more tough in a bad way, I guess and then and of course you know when in doubt when you really want to show that everybody hates somebody we might as well get the guys who are going after ISIS they're our heroes this is

1:32:25 So disappointing how many people think these guys, you know this is even a group of people. Yes Of course We know who's really going after Donald Trump Trump Towers website the online home of one of Donald Trump's glitzy skyscrapers in Manhattan went offline for around an hour on Friday and the activist hacker group anonymous is claiming responsibility Does this group really exist still I thought they arrested the kid who was behind it I think he died. Yeah, this is just a placeholder... Who knows? Probably one of the intelligence agencies would grab that thing in a minute or grab the kind of the... Well it's not even that big! They just have a Twitter account and then CNN calls them and says hey let's do an interview and then they put up the videos

1:33:08 It's so stylized Anonymous left this message on Twitter saying the site was taken down as a statement against racism and hatred And the whole piece the journalist could bill calls him up, and you'll get some on the phone She's in the office talking to them. They've got they've got boys change your story good boy I Earlier this week, the group posted a video on YouTube warning Donald Trump and condemning his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States. This policy is going to have a huge impact. This is what ISIS wants This voice changing gets me. Oh yeah, sounds legit! The more Muslims feel sad the more ISIS feel that they can recruit them. This international network of so-called hacktivists is famous for launching cyber attacks on groups like Islamic State following the deadly attacks in Paris and now they've taken aim at Donald Trump

1:34:05 Oh, right. Now you know everybody knows. Whatever came with their attacks of ISIS? Yeah well they took Twitter accounts offline you know the stuff that we can actually use to track people with. Oh right they took the Twitter accounts that our intelligence people need And how do they do that? Here's how ISIS...Isis here's how Anonymous works Alright it's OPTAKEDOWN! It's OPTAKEDOWN OF ISIS! OPTAKEDOWN! Oh there looks like oh there is a jihadi twitter account I'm going to report it Click Yeah That's what they did I did it Hell yeah, bring in the fight to ISIS. Yeah that is what is it? That's great! Well that was probably the worst thing to do and with that perhaps I should thank you for your courage... Oh well you really want to do that Do I not

CHAPTER 29 / 50 Discussion

Antonin Scalia, Affirmative Action and the Mismatch Theory

Justice Antonin Scalia sparked controversy during a Supreme Court hearing by citing the "mismatch theory" regarding affirmative action at the University of Texas. Media coverage focused on Scalia's remarks while largely ignoring similar, more pointed opinions previously written by Justice Clarence Thomas.

antonin scalia· clarence thomas· affirmative action· supreme court· university of texas

1:42:01 There was something interesting... How did it go? Was it good, was a good bit? It was fantastic. For the new screensavers maybe. Sorry! There were something that was another racial issue that was picked up as a racial issue people starting to lose their crap over this. A Supreme Court opinion came back about affirmative action And this is a local story to me because it's about, I believe, a white student said that because of affirmative action she was not able to get into UT. Right and so this went to the Supreme Court and well here is just a couple of...this is from CNN what people were thinking about this because we'll actually have to play the opening here

1:42:57 I don't know who this is. This is what happened after Justice Scalia gave his remarks. Gasps were heard inside the Supreme Court this week over something said by Justice Antonin Scalia, he made a remark about African Americans and academic performance concerning a case challenging affirmative action. There are those who contend that it does not benefit African Americans to get them into the University of Texas where they do not do well as opposed to having them go to a less advanced school, a slower track school where they do well. This court from lesser schools where they do not feel that their

1:43:48 That they're being pushed ahead in classes that are too, too fast for them. That produced a few gasps in the courtroom Some called the comments race strangely even though they have audio in the courtroom No gasps were heard I don't understand if you're going to say gasp or herd Why do we hear it on the audio which has enough room noise to hear it? So I think these lines that are two to

1:44:27 black students, like most students fare best when they go to the best school that they can get into because they are challenged in that environment. But some opponents of using race and admission say Scalia had a point despite how he said it To bring people into universities where they're not nearly as well prepared academically grades test scores anything else As their classmates They're likely to struggle academically Okay so you get the basic understanding of the backgrounder And of course, it wasn't in the courtroom but the mainstream media. Oh my gosh! There was just a gasp! A Supreme Court justice sparking controversy during hearing of high profile affirmative action case Justice Antonin Scalia seemed to suggest that some African Americans might do better in lesser colleges saying quote there are those who contend that does not benefit african-americans to get them into the University Texas where they did not

1:45:25 do well as opposed to having them go to a less advanced school, a slower track school where they do well. Scalia was citing theory in this book entitled mismatch but some feel like he was using it to make his own argument and if Twitter ignited no surprise there on twitter calling for his impeachment Actress Rashida Jones said he is saying that black people should go to quote lesser colleges because they can't keep up. That is a generalization of a race. Oh, he's racist! Well thank goodness I finally understand He's racist and Twitter lit up Twitter was on fire that means time to talk about it on the CNN panel. I cannot believe I'm hearing those words from a Supreme Court justice there are only nine of them they are at the top of the food chain in this country

1:46:14 Is there more to it than what we're seeing on the surface? Well, there could be and here's what it is. I mean certainly in the event that they come from him It's disturbing obviously offensive you mean straight first hit from his own precisely In other words from his own thought process as opposed to him quoting What a school of thought is that out there There is a school of thought out there That would suggest exactly what the justice suggested and that school of thoughts certainly needs to be rebuked at all respects The issue at hand help me understand What did the conservative justices have to say yesterday in the oral arguments as opposed to the liberal justice? Well, you know Scalia whose most famous quote maybe is that I'm an originalist but i'm not a nut Sounded a little nutty yesterday Now absent from all of this reporting was an opinion from Justice Clarence Thomas last year

1:47:08 which said, it didn't even just say that he didn't just say the same thing as Scalia. He went even further yet he's not discussed because oh yeah well he's black when the black man says it It's okay I guess we just have to vilify the white man who said it! He's a racist A-hole! Today Thomas got a chance to absolutely unleash on race based college admissions He wrote a humdinger of concurring opinion that basically compares anyone who supports affirmative action with the worst racists and white supremacist in our history. This is from last year, it's so easy to find the quotes they have the archive why didn't they bring this up? Slaveholders argue that slavery was a positive good that civilized blacks and elevated them in every dimension of life A century later segregationists similarly asserted that segregation was not only benign but good for black students

1:47:58 The university's professed good intentions cannot excuse its outright racial discrimination any more than such intentions justify the now denounced arguments of slaveholders and segregationists. That's a good one, but they didn't that no one brought that up well why would they bring it up to be a little more balanced is just calling someone a racist I'm all in with the Neil deGrasse Tyson thing this balance thing is way out of control And what are you gonna do, bring in the flat-earth guys to give their opinion too? Yeah I mean crazy! You advocating?! We can't have been a Supreme Court justice. Let's not back up anything by that the white guy said with the black guys opinion because now that would ruin the whole rhetoric about white privilege. They need to bring in Chinese guy in. Don't we don't have one of those on the court yet yeah but it could happen

1:48:51 So that was quite disgusting. It was a distraction of the week, I thought it was hilarious, I agree with you and there's kind of thinking along the lines that people with lower grades generally shouldn't go to some of these schools because they shouldn't maybe even be able to go to college. Why do you have to go to college? Because Michelle Obama says so! You didn't see her big campaign, her rap video I did see that. I've repressed it, suppressed it... I have not clipped it either. It was horrible! You got that off your chest? What? But you're dead right but again where's the... Well I'm very sensitive you know ever since I was shamed into my white privilege I pay attention to what's going on and someone has to just say stop! They created a monster Yeah you, you created the monster people just have to stop stop stop

CHAPTER 30 / 50 Discussion

Gun Control Rhetoric, Public Health Crisis and Gun Disease

Democratic senators are increasingly framing gun violence as a "public health crisis" and using the term "gun disease" to describe the issue. This rhetorical shift aims to treat firearm deaths with the same urgency as medical epidemics like Ebola or the flu.

gun control· public health· gun disease· senator blumenthal· barbara boxer

1:49:49 So now let's talk about guns. This is the other agenda for his legacy that President Obama is working on, everybody joined in everybody just jumped on the bandwagon my favorite was Senator Blumenthal Now let me remind you this is no an ongoing thread of Barbara Boxer who first said that, you know the oath she took was to protect the American people. No! You took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution." And then she said, oh... She said this. If it was anything else that caused the death of 30 000 Americans a year every single senator would be in their chair and we would be demanding action and we would be crossing over party lines to stop it All right so that started a trend uh Senator Blumenthal

1:50:38 Took it a step further. And just one final thought, 30 thousand people in the United States of America fell sick of flu or Ebola? Oh! Or... Traffic accidents? Polio The flu number is low by the way I think the flu numbers very low This nation would be up in arms We'd be up and arms No we're not It happens every year Every year about thirty thousand people die We don't give a crap There would be drastic, effective... What about automobile accidents? Over 30 thousand deaths a year. Well he's saying that there should be all kinds of committees on the automobile death and flu deaths. 30 thousand people falling sick as result of a public epidemic dying Wait for it As a result is a public health crisis Are you ready for the meme get your pen ready everybody

1:51:42 We have in this nation, truly an epidemic of gun death and gun disease. Gun disease! Holy crap! Catchy, catchy... So he finishes up. That is taking lives 90 of them every day And should be treated as a public health crisis Oh there you go, gun disease Ah not feeling too well whatcha got? Gun disease Gun disease. Man, these guys are just nuts! Well then from the podium Josh Earnest These are a guy that spokes whole for the White House Was asked a question about something Valerie Jarrett the true president of the United States VJ44 on Twitter at vj45 hit me up

CHAPTER 31 / 50 Discussion

Executive Orders, Background Checks and Josh Earnest

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest discussed the administration's efforts to use executive authority to expand background checks for gun purchases. Earnest described the record-breaking gun sales on Black Friday as a "tragic irony" in the wake of mass shootings.

josh earnest· white house· executive orders· background checks· second amendment

1:52:30 She said something about what the president is going to do and we are now hearing the words of his action which will... well I'm not gonna blow it all, here's the first clip where he was asked a question in the in his press briefing about VJ44 saying something about what Obama's going to do about guns. Hillary Jarrett said at Newtown vigil last night that the president has directed his team to, in short order finalize a set of recommendations on what can be done from the administration to save lives from gun violence. Can you be more specific about what short order means? And can you confirm that the recommendations will cover the expanded use of background checks for gun purchases? Mr. Earnest Kevin, at this point I still don't have an update in terms of the progress that the administration is making

1:53:20 uh, in scrubbing the rules. Scrubbing the rules? And determining what elements of the president's executive authority can be used to do a better job at keeping guns away from those who shouldn't have them. This means you know what additional steps can we take to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and those who are mentally ill? Mentally ill! Just want to take pause... We talk about gun disease and mentally ill this is all happening at the same time if you take Adderall, if you take Xanax. If you take... Oh yeah. Fuck it! If you take Advil PM You have a mental disorder define mentally ill? If you are being prescribed something for an ailment is that then ill? Yep. If you're being prescribed something for an ailment that deals with your mentality your mental state Is that mental or do you have a mental disease Yeah Okay can be anything Yeah

1:54:19 I just wanted everyone to pay attention. If you go see a therapist? Whoops! I better just leave him outside the door. Hey, yeah hi Mr. Curry we heard that you did this holistic breathing exercise and thought that you could fly... Yeah well we think that you probably shouldn't have any guns because you could go into one of those mental disease states We really don't think you should have any guns sir You nailed it. Uh-huh. Are we getting any closer to figuring out what's going on? Well, first we need a little language linguistics lesson I guess there is some evidence indicate this the FBI put out information that A week or so ago that Black Friday the day after Thanksgiving when many people go shopping That they actually processed the largest number of background checks for gun purchases in history

1:55:41 You know, I described this in a briefing earlier this week as tragic irony. That the more that we see this kind of violence on our streets the more people go out and buy guns. And that is... Tragic irony! Thank you for picking it up. Both ironic and tragic. Now, tragic I think we all understand the meaning but irony I think is often misused. I believe he's using incorrectly Irony is when there is an expected result, but it's the opposite usually humorous. Am I correct? I think that might be right. So in other words...I know it when i hear it, when i hear irony or do irony, i know its irony and i can also see somebody saying oh thats ironic but is not. I can say hey no there's no ironing there you just said that's ironic doesn't mean it's ironic And what he is saying these horrible gun deaths

1:56:37 should of course have resulted in, I guess people handing in their guns and eschewing them. Yes, they actually expect that! So that shows you the twisted mentality that is really what he thought was going to happen. Even if it makes some acts of gun violence less likely and we can do all of that without undermining the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans I'm sorry, why wouldn't we do it? I hate it when they do that this so he's referring to the so called Constitutional right of all Americans meaning the Second Amendment No That is a constant that the Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment is a prohibition on

1:57:33 on exactly what you are proposing be done. Now, we have... Jay Famiglietti Your favorite topic? Adam Bauchner Yes because it says the right of all citizens to bear arms shall not be infringed which means you cannot make any laws now the president can put in executive orders and we can dispute the legality of that and it seems like... Jay Famiglietti Right, states could do whatever they want. Adam Bauchner States could do whatever they want, of course but... Jay Famiglietti They could make the states crack down on all this stuff but they don't do that And then he was complained. We'll wrap it up with this ditty from him. I guess, Fred what i'm observing is that its tragic that in the aftermath of a series of high profile mass shootings people feel like they have to go out and purchase a gun because it's our view and again I think this is backed by some common sense

1:58:19 Our nation is awash in guns. Some common sense, not statistics, not science, common sense. There are statistics about the large quantity of guns that- Now listen to the lies! That are rather readily available on street corners and in gun stores all across America. That ready access to guns and that proliferation- Now listen to him! Of violent weapons of war has not led to fewer gun deaths. Ah I'm sorry. That's a lie! The gun deaths have gone down! They've gone down tremendously down. Why do they keep promoting this bullcrap? Well, I took out all the pauses and there was a he was waiting for two three seconds at a time because he was talking himself into a trap i think he knew that what he was saying was not truthful in fact i'm sure he knew it therefore he is purposely lying so i took out all the pauses but listen to how he tries to get around it even though he's just made a mistake In fact we're seeing that those

1:59:11 That doesn't seem to be the effect that we're witnessing here. And so it's tragic that even in this situation where we have lots of guns on the streets, that lead to lots of innocent Americans being killed... ...that their response is a whole lot more guns end up on the streets? It's tragic and ironic! No, it's not ironic! Only in your warped view was it ironic And then just to show you how clueless... Actually, it is ironic in his view. In his view? It's ironic yes but I would think that it would have to be his common sense. Yeah, I know what your trying to get at there. I think your probably right. Now so we're talking about guns on the street its so easy to get them on the corner they are at the drug store and very easy to get guns Just a little ditty that I had missed this on the Comey

CHAPTER 32 / 50 Discussion

FBI Director James Comey, Internet Gun Sales and Loopholes

During a hearing, FBI Director James Comey appeared uncertain about the specific procedures for purchasing firearms over the internet. The exchange with Senator Lindsey Graham highlighted a lack of clarity regarding existing regulations and the so-called "internet loophole."

james comey· fbi· gun sales· internet· lindsey graham

2:00:04 If I buy a gun on the internet, is it delivered to my home? If you buy a gun on the internet... I try to buy a gun on the internet. Where do I pick it up? I assume its shipped to you but I don't know for sure actually Okay well let's find out the answer to that Wow! Good going Director of FBI If you're so concerned about guns and, oh they're so easy to get on the internet. It's a loophole it's so crazy! I think it was Lindsey Graham? Yeah, okay what do ya think? Lindsey Graham who says... Who says did they ship them to ya? Yeah my gee that's a good question. How by gun on the internet do they ship it to me? Where'd he pick up? Where'd he pick it up?! On The Corner So come ON! The director of FBI does not know how guns traffic over the internet

2:00:49 which is legal sale. They probably know how they traffic it to the Mexican cartels, yeah hey oh! Which we should call Obama guns okay well that was good yeah I just wanted to get that out of my system. Play this clip because i'm looking at my clipless again a bunch of stuff actually let me do a little sideways story all right so i'm watching the local news And so the local police in the Santa Cruz area, there's a little town down there too. There are these two back-to-back stories about the police one of them is about some guy had his truck stolen and he had to find it himself. The police did nothing but let's play this Stolen Truck Local News. This is kind of a setup for the next story

CHAPTER 33 / 50 Discussion

DUI Checkpoints, Police Success Metrics and Public Inconvenience

Police in Marina, California, conducted a DUI checkpoint that stopped 1,100 cars but resulted in only one arrest. Despite the low arrest rate, officials measured the operation as a success based on the number of vehicles stopped and the "saturation" of the area.

dui checkpoints· santa cruz· marina· police work· fourth amendment

2:01:31 crime watch tonight a man who police say spotted his own stolen pickup truck helped them make two arrests in the case. Santa Cruz PD say the victim spotted his vehicle at a restaurant and then while on the phone with dispatch he followed the suspects down highway one directing police to them 40 year old Jennifer Howard and forty-year-old Perry Greer were arrested investigators say they found methamphetamine and stolen property inside that truck It's a guy doing police work for them. They're always telling us not to do that! I just found out what the police... Ah, yeah you stole it. What's your name? The guy is writing in the air. Well what's the license number? Writing in the air. Okay we'll be right on it. We'll get your call when we find it. They don't do anything so here's the other side of the coin this another nearby town both in the same area this is and this is the DUI story about how are you gonna get a DUI and its going ruin your life and all these different things

2:02:25 And so here's, this is the very... This for the foreign listeners DUI is driving under influence. Driving under the influence usually drunk driving is what it used to be called So let's start with DUI 1 setup Also on The Crime Watch tonight The city of Marina is stepping up patrol and checkpoints this December To try and prevent people from drinking and driving during the holidays Action News reporter Caitlin Conrad It's live in Monterey Erin, tomorrow the City of Marina is going to do a saturation patrol. It's gonna start at 7 in the evening and go all the way through 3 in the morning then next week they're gonna have a DUI checkpoint and every car that goes through it is going to have to stop

2:03:06 Alright, so this is gonna be like a big deal. A lot of overtime. Checkpoint! Checkpoint! Fantastic checkpoints ladies and gentlemen. Nice checkpoints. So let's go on moving to the story a little deeper with a DOI local clip 2. Yes unfortunately we do people are more festive during the holiday season Unfortunately that comes with more alcohol consumption and drinking and driving And that's what we're trying to have an effect on. There is no excuse for drinking and driving people on the Monterey Peninsula can use uber take a taxi cab or use public transportation Which will be running on Christmas and New Year's Day this year

2:03:42 Plug for Uber, none for Lyft. Of course not! And now we go into the crux of the whole thing... The whole thing comes to a head with the... This by the way is a very long report but this is the end of it comes to this and I just my jaw hits the ground with this police bullcrap In the city of Marina alone, there's been 45 DUI related crashes in the last three years and 28 injuries resulting from those crashes. Erin? All right Caitlin thank you that DUI checkpoint plan for next week will stop every car coming through last time they did this in Marina they stopped 1100 cars but they only issued one DUI police say they measure success by the number of cars stopped

2:04:32 Of course, of course. Hey how you doing? Stop 25. Very successful by the way. Inconvenience the public to an outrageous extreme with a long lines of cars being stopped 1100 to be exact they arrest virtually nobody but it's a very big success because they stopped a lot of people and inconvenienced them this is fantastic police work And what is their probable cause There is none. Then there's a checkpoint, this is just the shut up slave moment meanwhile they can't catch the guy who stole the pickup truck. But you...is it? You can stop people but then you don't have to do anything unless they have some... Driver's license? No I don't think so. Show me that driver's license and uh... Am I being detained? Uh...am I free to go? Am I being detained sir?

2:05:26 Pull over there, please. Am I being detained? Am i free to go if I'm not being detained I should not have to pull over Well, I think people should take that approach am I being yeah you should and put it on YouTube for when you're dead And get the heavy your little dash cam pointed at the cops love the crap out of you You will have evidence you probably get a settlement half a mil I just find it very annoying. The success is determined by the number of people they inconvenience, is the way they should have put it. That's insane! Eric Schmidt wrote an op-ed in the New York Times... Very disturbing

CHAPTER 34 / 50 Discussion

Eric Schmidt, Internet Censorship and Silicon Valley Groupthink

Google Chairman Eric Schmidt wrote an op-ed in the New York Times advocating for the development of tools to de-escalate social media tensions and remove terrorist content. Critics argue this represents a move toward automated censorship and reflects the "groupthink" prevalent in Silicon Valley.

eric schmidt· google· censorship· hate speech· silicon valley

2:06:13 Now he is still the chairman of Google or alphabet the chairman yes about alphabet one of them And he's an elitist then and he goes to all the all the show the breweries in the builder burgers Builder burger it goes to be you know what's the thing? He has everywhere Edna, and you know he is this is the kind of guy that when Donald Trump says, hey we should talk to Bill Gates and other smart people about closing the internet. This is the guy he would go to I'm sure. That's you know Trump is then... Can you pull a switch on the internet? Yeah well so it writes this article It's on how to build a better web TLDR I'm just gonna pull out the kind of the closer of this this article he wrote

2:07:00 Authoritarian governments tell their citizens that censorship is necessary for stability. It's our relationship to demonstrate that stability and free expressions go hand in hand. We should make it ever easier to see the news from other countries' point of view, and understand the global consciousness free from filter of bias." So far so good! Right John? No but go on... We should build tools to help de-escalate tensions on social media sort of like spell checkers but for hate & harassment We should target social accounts for terrorist groups like the Islamic State and remove videos before they spread, or help those countering terrorist messages to find their voice. Without this type of leadership from government, from citizens, from tech companies... ...the Internet could become a vehicle for further disaggregation of poorly built societies and the empowerment of the wrong people and the wrong voices." Heil! Holy moly

2:08:04 Heil Herr Schmidt! Eric Schmidt. So of course it's not going to be a spell check, you know we have the No Agenda plugin that turns web pages into Gitmo Nation speak We should just have a plugin that anytime there is something... You know, that there is some kind of horrible microaggression That just changes it to stock words like Unicorn Because that'll make everybody feel better. Yeah, we don't want that microaggression this guy's this is a totalitarian statement that he's making He doesn't know that yeah That's the part that so worrying my goodness That is worrying but it's a very common I think most Silicon Valley's loaded and all these guys are billionaires Let's start with that premise which means you got at least a million million dollars for starters

2:09:00 And they live in a bubble. You very rarely see them out in public, unless it's the Builder Burgers meeting I did see Eric once recently in public and said hello It was a fluke And they talk amongst themselves. The groupthink thing is really...and you know this from Silicon Valley work, everybody go to the same meetings and have the same people telling them the same thing and they go to the bar and then they talk about the thing that guy just said so yeah I agree with that. And next thing you know they're all buzzed about something or other that's not true and invest in green technology. How'd that work out Kleiner Perkins?

2:09:41 So you end up with that sort of thing and it's because the echo chamber is just massive in Silicon Valley. And the question is, do you get condemned? Yes Well, there's... So they don't know. They're just doing this. They're just following along lockstep and... I think the overriding fear of the overriding theme for us certainly for the past few weeks has been what is really free speech? Why are people being told to shut up? You know who really is the terrorist who was really creating the fear that is making people do things based upon their human instinct of fear in fact I got this, Stek sent me

CHAPTER 35 / 50 Discussion

Fear Guides, Barack Obama and the ISIS Finance Chief

A medical expert on Fox Business introduced the concept of "fear guides" to help the public cope with terrorism. Meanwhile, President Obama highlighted the success of U.S. airstrikes in killing the ISIS finance chief and other leaders in Somalia and Libya.

fear guides· barack obama· isis· pentagon· drone strikes

2:10:22 because I don't watch Fox Business. This was about fear. Dr. Siegel says all that fear could be hazardous to your health and he joins us now, but doctor, I would say to you it's hard not to be fearful how do you stop it from causing problems for your health? When you see a terrorist attack like in San Bernardino or Paris You think its going to happen at my supermarket It's gonna happen in my gathering The chances are extremely low but you can't convince yourself of that So what do you do What you do is, you need fear guides. You need somebody to comfort you, somebody to give you courage because courage goes through the same place in the brain as fear I love that! Fear guides...I need a fear guide So does love so does laughter so does happiness If you can laugh at yourself, you may break that cycle of worry Well this is interesting I believe that part of what we are doing We ARE fear guides

2:11:14 That's what we do. We're the guides of the future. Yeah, we take the fear and add laughter it affects the same part of the brain and it makes you feel better I think this is very important what were doing Someone like President Bush who stood up on that car with a bullhorn and said people who knock down these buildings will hear all of us soon and then he backed it up that was a leader of courage President Obama who says let's not forget that freedom is more powerful than fear. It's a strong slogan, but nothing backing it up No change in policies doesn't make me feel better. We can't rally behind it What can you do to your health quickly doctor? How can and this this probably explains what you're seeing with Trump He is the ultimate fear guide on the fear end be not making you laugh necessarily But he is say oh here's what I'm gonna do about going kick everybody's ass

2:12:08 Should we check in with our president, the man who should be our fear guide? Yeah. His daily podcast weekly podcast I should say and you know he's got something interesting to say because or heavy but he doesn't start off with his normal howl everybody hello everybody no i mean he's very depressed this week americans across our country have shown what it means to be strong in the face of terrorism In San Bernardino even as the community continues to grieve people people are refusing to be ruled by fear. Across the country, dedicated public servants are on the job and more will be returning to work this week. Faith communities have come together in fellowship and prayer families lined the streets for the annual Children's Christmas Parade

2:12:48 Because we can't let terrorists change how we live our lives. No instead We'll just let the mainstream media and you mr.. President terrorize everybody Meanwhile our men and women in uniform are stepping up our campaign to destroy ISIL Air strikes are hitting ISIL harder than ever hit him hard and Syria More of their fighters and leaders their weapons their oil tankers Our special operations forces are on the ground because we're gonna hunt down these terrorists wherever they try to hide. Hunt them down, smoke them out! Smoke them out, hunt them down... Blow em' back to kingdom come. In recent weeks our strikes have taken out the ISIL finance chief Oh my goodness We killed the CFO That's what we did Are you kidding me? And he is proud that we killed some guy with a green visor sitting there He is not in the battlefield, he is no making bombs, he just running the spreadsheet

2:13:37 That's sad! Very happy. A terrorist leader in Somalia and the ISIL leader in Libya. Our message to these killers is simple, we will find you and justice will be done. No well no... We're not gonna take you to court, we're just gonna drone you This week, we'll move forward on all fronts. On Monday I'll go to the Pentagon and there i'll review our military... Nah he goes on and on he's got nothing to say it's just but he's not helping He's not telling him we're gonna kick ass you just say bro bring up the justice We've got the finance guy! I don't feel good about that! The finance guy? Congratulations! The finance guy is replaced instantly

Enrique Marquez, San Bernardino Investigation and Russian Connections

Enrique Marquez, the man who purchased the weapons used in the San Bernardino attack, is under investigation for his ties to the shooters and a previously abandoned 2012 terror plot. The case has revealed a complex web of relationships, including a marriage to a Russian national.

enrique marquez· san bernardino· fbi· terror plot· southern california

2:14:15 There's a lot of numbers guys working for that operation, it's pretty obvious. So I got to...talking about...he talks about San Bernardino there was this you know they now they've tried to complicate the story to obfuscate whatever we're ever gonna find out about what happened with this new guy, this Marquis guy who had a double life and he's married to the Russian mob. Oh I don't know about this guy. Play ABC, this is on ABC, this is ABC then...I don't have the whole story because they cut it off because it goes on forever but this is the Marquis drama Enrique Marquez may have lived a double life his family members telling ABC News they never knew the former punk rocker converted to Islam

2:14:55 or that he had married a woman named Maria Chernykh. His wife is one of two Russian sisters who married American men, the other sister is married to Farouk's brother. Federal authorities now saying Farouk and Marquez planned an abandoned terror plot in 2012. There have been some arrests immediately adjacent to that right in their area in Southern California Probably by the counter-terrorism people that really caused them to rethink it. Those arrests, four men from Riverside California The same town Farouk and Marquez lived in Was there any connection between Marquez, Farouk and these four terrorists? I've heard the same reports It would be irresponsible of us for not look into any potential connections

2:15:42 Marquez's family saying it shocked. That is Enrique Marquez, his mother she just came out to speak for the first time saying how upset she is by all of this how distraught she has he hasn't heard from her son. It goes on and on and on very dramatized Anyway, this is the guy who sold the weapons. The big guns. Ah yes, yes. This is the guy and they were just like I didn't know what was going on and now they're creating this huge melodrama around him and his Russian wife his conversion to Islam and his previous plots, and he's such...and everyone who knows him thinks that he's like a guy who was at the bar all the time joking around telling gags. This is like this whole story has become completely it's like some novelist or somebody behind it. It's ridiculous. Meanwhile, you know, the K-1 visa process has come under scrutiny. Oh well we probably have to change that because I don't even know how we get guns off of the Internet so maybe that thing ain't too right

CHAPTER 37 / 50 Discussion

DHS Screening Coordination, Visa Waivers and Congressional Oversight

A Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security faced intense questioning from a congressional committee regarding refugee numbers and visa waiver overstays. The official was unable to provide specific statistics, leading to sharp criticism of the agency's coordination and transparency.

dhs· visa waiver· syrian refugees· congressional hearing· homeland security

2:16:42 Now, you'll recall that my uncle Don when Mickey had passport issues and was deported and I called him and he said Adam get a lawyer. I can't do anything ever since that move from state to Department of Homeland Security It's been a complete and utter mess I can't even help and he has three former presidents on his speed dial that he can call now could II course, I mean obviously But he don't give a crap about me not like that He's only got so many buttons. I mean, he's got only so many shits you can catch in it. Yeah we're not going to cash in that... You and your wife! It'll work out! Why is he gonna waste one on YOU? And he probably didn't like her that much, so screw them. That could be true. But you may have seen some of this but this is the kind of thing that- This is real fear

2:17:31 as there was a, they brought in the screening official of Department of Homeland Security who according to my uncle Don have screwed up all immigration. The whole process the whole border patrol process to ask questions about you know these screening processes and it is her job and she's I'm going to put it in the millennial category she has some up talk It's just sad, sad, sad to see that pretty much nothing works in immigration. and why did that not fire immediately in start is the question. Thank you Mr Chairman, Ms Barisi earlier this week the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee gave an important speech where he talked about extremist groups terrorist groups are trying to exploit the refugee program so like mr Russell just a few minutes ago I would like it see if you can give us some numbers just just so that this committee and American people have this information how many Syrian refugees have entered the United States in last year?

2:18:30 Sorry, I didn't bring any of my uh... any of the refugee numbers with me because i was prepared to talk about visa waiver but i can certainly have um... send that to you. Do you know how many Americans have traveled to Syria in the last year? I don't have that number on me either. So you wouldn't know how many Americans have traveled and then returned? I-I don't have that number on me. How many visa waiver program overstays are there currently United States Sorry, I didn't bring that number with me. Ms. Bricey when i look at the witness list you got the longest title Deputy Assistant Secretary Screening Coordination Office of Policy Department Homeland Security You got the longest title and it says screening coordination now what is that cor- What are you? What do you do woman? Screening are you coordinating Is that just intra agency or is that inter agency

2:19:28 It's both. I coordinate across DHS components... And the two biggest issues right now that we're dealing with, relative to what we had these terrible tragedies, these terrible terrorist attacks and were talking about the refugee issue and visa waiver program issue you can't give us any numbers on either program? So as came prepared to talk about the visa waiver program... I just asked how many Visa Waiver Program overstays are there and you said you don't know? Sir i don't have a number Visa waiver program. So when I asked you how many, how many visa... I think what happened is somehow this was grossly misjudged what was going to happen here and someone said, I just explained how the visa waiver program works hey you can go okay that's great okay i can explain the visa waiver program. Overstays of the visa waiver program may have traveled to Syria before they got here do you know that number?

2:20:22 Sir, if a visa waiver program national has...has a citizen of a visa waiver program country rather has traveled to Syria or Iraq or conflict zone and they're considered a foreign fighter that VWP country is also a terrorist organization. Someone from Great Britain comes to the United States on a visa waiver program and they're now in overstay, do we know if that person who's here today maybe they're not even overstayed. Do we know if that person has been to Syria before they came uh...to the United States? Do we know that? I mean this is what our bill that we just passed earlier this week is trying to get to. I'm asking do we know that fact or that information now

2:21:03 So that's why we have the IC involved and there is a- Now pay attention, you're going to hear how she is lying. She doesn't have these numbers and she didn't forget them. She doesn't even have these numbers and she is going to pull the most pathetic excuse I've ever heard from a civil servant and she should be fired. Intelligence assessments and we use- I wasn't asking that do we know that? Do you know the number? I don't know the number, but that's why I'm trying to... But we have people who are in that category. I just described come from a visa waiver program country may have traveled there here today and may have been in Syria or Iraq or somewhere there in the last

2:21:42 before they came here. Do we know that? If a citizen of the VWP country has traveled to one of those areas, there's a nexus to United States or the VWP partner shared that information with us yes we know that information and we will vet against it. We will also use our algorithm for background for that. But could they be here right now is my question I don't have an answer sir All right, well. He has his head in his hands at this point Can you tell me anything about the no-fly list then? How does a person get put on the criteria for that

2:22:18 Tell me, can you tell me anything about it? She actually has an answer. We have an answer Sure the no-fly list is a subset of the overall terrorist screening database. Database! The interagency works together that terror screening databases owned and operated by the Terrorist Screening Center as I said earlier Oh Their criteria to get on that are How many American citizens are on that list right now? Can you give me that number? How many American citizens are on the No Fly List right now I know there are American citizens on the list. It is an extremely small number, but I don't have my numbers with me. But again that's something i can easily get back to you. She's lying. Greicy, I've asked you the number of Americans who traveled to Syria? You don't know! The number of Americans who may have traveled in return? You don't know! The number of Syrian refugees who entered the country last year? You don't know! The number of visa waiver program overstays? You don't know!

2:23:08 who may have been to Syria before they came here, you don't know. And the number of American citizens on the no-flight list and you don't know and yet you are the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Screening Coordination Office of Policy Department Homeland Security in front of the Oversight Committee? You can give us one single number to some I think pretty basic questions What do you think she's going to say John she's beaten down She's almost crying although i dont think really what is her Hail Mary to get out this mess She wasn't expected to answer these questions. She didn't have the numbers with her, it's not her job... It's better than that Some of those statistics aren't held by DHS. Oh, you mean you don't have the numbers that you said? You could bring the numbers liar! So that's why I would like to work with my interagency partner... That's why reference your title. You're the one who is the screening coordinator for all this and you said you were inter-agency. That's why I referenced your title. Seems to me when you come in front of this meeting you should have that information. I'm a DHS employee. I am a DHS career civil servant employee and i will work with my interagency partner.

2:24:09 I'm just a career civil servant. You can't pick on me like that, I need my safe space! Partners but they're the authoritative source for a lot of those numbers that you mentioned. If you could get us those numbers and the ones Mr Russell asked for that would be very helpful. Thank you Mr Chairman There ya go Well you got plenty of use of the old buzzer today It was worth it It's insane. I'm a civil servant, I'm a career civil servant don't pick on me! I'm just- I'm just- I'm just- He should be fired. He? He should be voted out of office for bullying that poor woman That defenseless woman she was a woman by the way if you didn't know Oh yeah hater misogynist misogynist bully Alright

ISIS Passport Machines, Blank Passports and Security Risks

Intelligence reports indicate that ISIS has acquired official passport printing machines and blank documents, allowing them to create authentic-looking travel papers. This development poses a significant security risk as it could allow operatives to enter the U.S. and Europe undetected.

isis· passports· brian ross· syrian refugees· security risk

2:24:59 Well, that's going on. You have this little ditty which has actually relates to the testimony that you refuse to give which is the passport counter...you know about the passport counterfeit passports? I'm pissed off! I gotta tell ya, i'm pissed off because my source told me on Friday last week no before the Thursday show so Tuesday or Wednesday he said something different they've not only stolen Uh, the passport machine. They have 700 blank passports. Yeah! That was in the report. But that... I could've had that before it came out. You would've had a scoop for us? I would've had a scoop and I feel stupid I didn't do it. Well you really dropped the ball on this one. I did! I'm admitting it. Which clip- Well I think I know why after you play this little clip. Which I'm looking for the clip which- It says ABC Passport Counterfeit. Ehhh gotcha.

2:25:47 Tonight, a troubling new development just one month after the terror attacks in Paris. You'll remember this image authorities say one of the alleged suicide bombers using this fake passport to slip into Europe among the Syrian refugees. Tonight, a chilling new warning ISIS now has its hands on at least one official passport printing machine ABC's chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross on the concern those fake passports could be used here With the US and other countries on high alert tonight for ISIS attacks. American authorities are warning, the terror group may have infiltrated followers into this country with authentic looking passports it has printed itself almost impossible to detect

2:26:30 If ISIS has been able to acquire legitimate passports or machines that create legitimate passports, this would represent a major security risk to the United States. Our scoop is still valid because they have the blank passports as well! That's not mentioned. That was mentioned... I just cut it short. You cut out my scoop man!! It was it was no it wasn't there. I was in the report he went on it was Brian Ross He goes on and they had to show the box as a bunch of blank passports, okay? They showed a printer something else which was not their blanks or somebody else's but they just show what they look like But that is so they're not I follow up forge. They're real yeah Real real passport

Ukraine Art Theft, Nazi Connections and Media Corruption

A story involving stolen Dutch paintings in Ukraine allegedly links the Ukrainian government to the far-right Svoboda party. Critics argue that Western media outlets have suppressed the story to avoid complicating the diplomatic relationship with the current Ukrainian administration.

ukraine· art theft· svoboda party· nazi· media corruption

2:27:13 Now, I think I know why this happened. This botch of yours...not to report this when we had the opportunity to scoop him. Well, I know why it happened but okay, I'm willing to listen. Let me tell you why it happened is because you had a scoop on the art theft that was gonna bring down the Ukraine government and never did! In fact, his story crapped out. It did and I kind of expected it to crap out Why don't you give a background if people don't know what I'm talking about. The background is we knew that the president of Ukraine would be linked to the Svoboda party, known as the Nazis of Ukraine and the links were all made through this collection of paintings that were stolen in the Netherlands.

2:28:00 And so along with this, once you have established the connection between the president of Ukraine and Oleg whatever his last name is the leader of the Svoboda party as a Nazi which is now out there but all the pictures of Hillary Clinton with Joe Biden with Victoria Cagle, Newton & Newland with John McCain all hanging out drinking tea and making all nice with the Nazi Yeah, that should have been the second part of the one-two punch. But no way! No way our American media is going to do that. The New York Times had the same scoop and they completely refused to run it as far as I know

2:28:36 And what did I say when you... Yeah, you said it would be a dud that it would go nowhere. I said that because the media is totally corrupt There ya'go We however are not and mainly because we do no take advertising certainly not from presidential any kind of political candidates We only take money from the people who enjoy the program I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could deal with us Oh yeah! That'd be fab On NO AGENDA And that my friends, that my friends is a segue. It was... it waas... Until I ruined it and saying it was a segway? Or you didn't have until you didn't have the- It was like oh look at that shot I just made stop the presses did you get a picture of that?! I'm just giving you a little more time to open up your spreadsheet again. No this spreadsheet isn't opened the first time around Is it all on the monitor can you see it all in one spot? Just so yes

2:33:10 We do have, oh yes we do have a bunch of lectures and I will discuss it maybe in the next show. About the bullets. Oh yes, the bullets, yes. The bullets. Apparently some of the bullets you can use in the AK or these. And gee wasn't me who said that was dependent upon the ammo? Wasn't it me that said that? That said this is something...you may be incorrect but this is about the ammo Yeah, well you said that right after your bragging about your segways Uh, maybe. It may have been you? You know when I say I did something wrong and admit it you go like, well but you said this! Man are you sure checking- I don't do that voice! You should check your old guide privilege

Vale Pilly and yes you were right about the bullets Thank you But I was getting now I got bad information then we gotta know we got I get a definitive note somebody sent about the bullets And on using an AR-15 I have the bullets! And some bullets lot of those don't all work at the same guns It's very confusing at the end of the day Okay name the movie? I Got The Bullets I Don't Know Really? Die Hard 2. James Dean in... I forgot one of his movies, the James Dean that the porn guy or the James Dean the actor It's Rebel Without a Cause man! You know what i thought that movie stunk. Rebel without a cause yes I think people should go watch this is like James Deen the actor who died and car wreck as he was driving too fast on a windy road

2:34:44 And he did two or three movies and Rebel Without a Cause is one of them. And I would challenge anybody to get through that movie without rolling their eyes and then coming away the way I did, thinking that this guy can't act." It's very interesting because we had the same feeling you and I when we looked at Breakfast At Tiffany's We both said that is the most craziest effed up movie have ever seen whoever could think that was such a great movie? But I'll take your challenge Yes, do that. You will not get through it without cracking up thinking of what I just said. Okay. You go my god! Who considered this acting? I will revisit.

Yeah, that's the file size if the spreadsheet comes in at over 100 K which is the spreadsheet size and number of columns and rows and note lot of it gets filled up by notes somebody writes a couple long notes it gets up there pretty fast but if it comes over to that they feel like at least people are taking part they're not donating a lot of money sometimes can't afford all we can ask for just take these are taking part and that's what we really want yes

2:37:15 And we do have a show coming up on Thursday. This will be, no this is not a Christmas show yet No, no just a regular show on Thursday and please support us!

Stanley Kubrick, Moon Landing Hoax and Moonwalkers Movie

A viral video purporting to be a deathbed confession from director Stanley Kubrick about faking the moon landings was revealed to be a hoax. The video was part of a marketing campaign for the upcoming film "Moonwalkers," which explores a fictionalized version of the conspiracy theory.

stanley kubrick· moon landing· moonwalkers· viral marketing· apollo 11

2:38:23 I started getting some tweets and like, what is going on here? And i start looking. And uh...I actually found- watched different videos first before the ones that you probably saw. I saw a complete outtake non edited interview with Stanley Kubrick Yes, and well but I saw that the interview first and I have a link in the show notes for this. I have every so people can try to watch it Well did you did use? I'm not talking about the edited video that came on first Did you see the ISO interviews with just him no edits

2:39:01 You probably didn't see those. Those were quite convincing until I found, you know...I got the final piece which i tweeted out as this is the one you really want to see where it's obvious that this guy is an actor and in fact the guy who was supposed to be the interviewer questioning him starts yelling at him like YOU'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT! BE TOM! No Tom, Tom, you're not doing it right! You've got to be like him. You've got to be like Kubrick. Be Kubrick." So it was obviously fake but there was a lot of work involved in the fake? And what is this for And I'll be honest, 45 minutes. But I mean...I was adding them to my YouTube account watching them on the television you know you can use the YouTube app on the fire stick and like wow! It was the evening of the Obama-bot dinner i'm like oh my god I'd love to walk in and say HA! YOU WITH YOUR TELESCOPE? But uh..i think i figured out what it's about. And it's not a bad campaign.

2:39:59 Although I don't know if they intended to release all the bits of this, probably not. At least there's enough out there where I've seen The Guardian...not The Guardian. Okay let-I think we should stop for a second and back up a little bit because I think half the audience is wondering what we're talking about. Okay um It was a video released which would using it purporting to be the last dying interview of Stanley Kubrick. Stanley Kubrick and it was actor And it was so poorly done, it was very hard to watch at least for me. And it was purporting to be Stanley Kubrick's for all practical purposes deathbed confession that he did the moon movies for the Moon landings Apollo program and he had to get off his chest before he died in this. It was just

2:40:46 Drek. Um, it... What you watch I just want to in my defense what you watch is not what i saw first. I saw the full unedited interview first just the eye on him. Well that's saying one thing or another and just tell me thats we're talking about this of course but I was definitely I was like well I can't wait to tell the Obama bots they gonna love it! I was right all along! Now this is a promotion for movie as these things usually are Do you, can you guess? You know about the movie? Well the only movie that everyone's promoting is The Star Wars Movie so I'm like oblivious to anything else going on apparently. We've been planning our 11th Apollo mission to the moon in 10 days time we still don't have a clue whether this thing is gonna make it or not do you know what happens if the Russians happen to make it to the moon first? We're gonna wind up looking like a bunch of dicks! So here's the plan meet with Cooper convince him

2:41:49 film a pretend moon landing All right, so that's the beginning of the trailer of Moonwalkers Which will be coming out in January just in time for the meme to spread that maybe it was maybe it wasn't true I think I like these dialogue which is totally amateurish We're gonna look like a bunch of dicks. I Like what they do and though I think it's a good try It's a good tribe there will be enough Kind of bits and bobs that people will say what did I hear they don't something? I think the way people listen and consume information TLDR III think it's not a bad idea to do that as a promotion Works, you know. I think it worked and that concludes our second half What I have stories for second half of show yeah now you've concluded You've closed the door on me sorry well We'll have to do it on Thursday

We knock on the door of the driver and nobody was there shortly before the trains scheduled departure The operator exited to check a signal suddenly the doors closed and just after 6am at the train started moving grazing the operator as it left

2:43:34 I just think this is a funny runaway train. How does that even work? Yeah, guy steps out and takes off And by the way if you ever I think Lindsay Janice is the prettiest girl working network television Oh, I don't know.

CHAPTER 43 / 50 Discussion

Vladimir Putin, Syria Operations and Homs Explosion

President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian military to annihilate any threats in Syria following a row with Turkey. Shortly after Russia claimed control of Homs, a massive IED explosion occurred in the city, leading to suspicions of mercenary involvement.

vladimir putin· syria· homs· turkey· ethnic cleansing

2:44:26 Absolutely. Talking tough at an annual meeting of Russia's defense ministry, the message from President Vladimir Putin was clear to eliminate any threats to his military in Syria He also revealed Russia is engaged in offensive actions in joint operations with regular Syrian forces against Islamist militants and Homs, Hamas Aleppo and Raqqa I'm ordering you to act tough. Any targets posing a threat to Russian divisions or Russian military targets on land have to be annihilated immediately." In the meantime, cooperation needs to be developed with all countries that are genuinely interested in the annihilation of the terrorists." President did not elaborate on specific threats. His speech comes with Russia locked in a row with Turkey. On Thursday, the country's Prime Minister, Ahmed Defertullu accused Russia of attempting ethnic cleansing with its air strikes in northern Syria targeting Turkmen and Sunni communities in and around Latakia region

2:45:21 The Russian foreign ministry rejected the claims now Sunni nuts sunny. Yeah, he's reading this Well, yeah What I find interesting is that The Russians apparently had cleared out Raqqa and Homs. So they had Homs, that was theirs and they were there with the Assad regime with the Syrian fighters And then next day... Syria has suffered another day of death and destruction this time in the central city of Homs At least 16 people were killed and scores more injured according to a group monitoring the war This was a very large IED

2:46:04 And I can only think that this was, this really is a US-Russia fight that happened right here. The Russians are in there running the place and then there's a huge explosion That can only be the mercenaries that we've hired... ...that did that It's not ISIS. No one claimed, ISIL didn't claim it. They would have claimed it immediately? Yeah. So I just want to put that out there... Do you think we brought in some C4 and showed them what an explosive can really look like? I don't know but it was good! It was a big boom. That wouldn't surprise me. This whole thing is ridiculous. It's troubling what's going on here. Well I have a local story for you. I wanted some explanation since you live in Austin

CHAPTER 44 / 50 Discussion

Austin Hate Speech, Donald Trump Polls and Dubai Billboards

Reports of hate speech in an Austin cafe surfaced alongside news of Donald Trump's rising poll numbers despite international criticism. In Dubai, a developer removed a Trump-branded billboard following the candidate's proposed ban on Muslim entry to the U.S.

austin· hate speech· donald trump· dubai· israel

2:46:47 And that is the hate, the hate in Austin. The hate. This is a town of yours go. Other incidents include racist hate speech directed at two Muslim women in an Austin cafe and group of boys punching a Muslim girl in New York and pulling on her hijab It's hate or is it just boys being assholes? I'm not sure. Well, the boys being assholes i think is part two but part one they were apparently epithets against two muslim women in a Austin cafe what did you hear what have you heard What am I learning? What are you learning? I'll have to go out and be careful and uh... and learn I had not heard about this I did not hear about this. Because it was Austin it was Austin news Yeah! I'd not heard about this

2:47:31 That's disappointing. You know, all Texans are assholes you know this is what mainstream media always says even though Austin could not be more liberal and Obotish I have a clip here i don't know what it is okay it's called Trump date Tonight, Donald Trump may be taking heat but with Republican primary voters he's on the rise. That new national poll shows him leading his closest rival by nearly 20 points and some of that polling done after his controversial proposed ban of Muslims coming into the US Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticizing the Muslim ban and today Trump tweeting he is now postponing a trip to Israel saying he'll go after I become president of the U.S

2:48:21 I didn't want to put him under pressure, number one. I also did it because i'm in the midst of a very powerful campaign that's going very well But Trump could be taking a business hit his proposed ban leading a developer in Dubai to take down a trump billboard Advertising a golf course that Trump is working on and if I lose some businesses overseas It doesn't have any impact on me whatsoever what I'm doing right now Bill is following more important than any single business that I own. And David, tonight there is a new poll out on Trump's plan to ban Muslims from coming into the US. That poll shows that more Republicans support the Trump plan then oppose it. David? ABC's Tom Yamas with us tonight. Tom thank you. Why is Tom Yamas yelling at us? Because he thought what you do when your mainstream media you get lies you say hey! I'm gonna scream at ya all time

CHAPTER 45 / 50 Discussion

National Enquirer, BBC Radicalization Tips and Terrorist Spotting

The National Enquirer and the BBC published guides on how to spot potential terrorists and radicalized youth. The lists include signs such as changes in dress, possession of foreign language manuals, and a mistrust of mainstream media reporting.

national enquirer· bbc· radicalization· terrorism· conspiracy theories

2:49:09 Jeez. There are, you know the we all have to be worried about terrorism about our neighbors or friends or children You know the mantra by now? If you see something say something This is now showing well when I went out she were now yes true Now we have printed lists how to understand you know when you see something say something what you should do this is from The National Enquirer which I think a lot of people read How To Spot A Terrorist A lot of people. National Enquirer? Yeah, that's huge! 2-3 million newsstands at least. Something like that is a good number Is your coworker or neighbor secretly a terrorist you can recognize a potential assassin with these tips from... Wait wait wait there's the difference between a terrorist and an assassin Look look hear me now believe me later this is what people are going to take us gospel

2:50:09 It says assassin. You can recognize a potential assassin with these tips from law enforcement officials and citizen and victim advocate groups, so this has to be official! Are you ready? Yeah Keep close tabs on anyone who 1. Uses language that threatens violence or incites others to violence 2. Possesses technical literature such as flight manuals printed in another language In French. Flight manuals are all in English, this is... Is there any English? The circulation is a little over 1 million. Oh okay. If the person has a foreign student tourist or businessperson who remains in the US after his or her visa has expired Well that's about 11 million Mexicans That's a scoff law! Is visited at home or work by a steady stream of unfamiliar cars or people

2:51:10 Possesses a large number of weapons and or material you suspect could be used for bomb making and Wears bulky clothing even in weather possibly to hide bombs or weapons. Now that's just the American version, let's look at the BBC Could be a Hasidic Jew. The BBC says here are the signs you need to look out for... The following could describe general teenager behavior but together with other signs may mean the youth in person is being radicalized If you see out of character changes in dress behavior and changes in their friendship group, this is for your children. Pay attention to your children! If your child is losing interest in previous activities and friendships... if your child is involved in secretive behavior and switching screens when you come near porn the following signs are more specific to radicalization owning mobile phones or devices that YOU haven't given them

2:52:12 showing sympathy for externist, extremist causes advocating extremist messages glorifying violence accessing extremists literature and imagery showing a mistrust of mainstream media reporting and belief in the conspiracy theories. Whoa! Uh-oh And for John, appearing angry about government policies especially foreign policy. So with all of this put together I was I was surprised when Dr. Drew had the following segment on his program.

CHAPTER 46 / 50 Discussion

John Kirby, RT News and State Department Briefing Tensions

State Department spokesperson John Kirby reacted angrily to questions from an RT reporter regarding U.S. silence on Turkey's actions. Kirby accused the reporter of asking "ridiculous" questions and suggested she should be embarrassed by her line of inquiry.

john kirby· rt news· state department· turkey· russia

2:53:08 I It wasn't a good expression of the say something, say something idea. But now they're being sued for $15 million so everyone's like oh I'm gonna lose my job and get sued? That's an interesting point Dr Drew makes after saying it looked like a toy. It didn't look like a toy, it looked like a bomb!

2:53:46 It's meant to look like a bomb, the whole thing was exposed. As you expose in great detail the whole thing was set up by the sister for this exact purpose and they're gonna get some money out of it because everyone is stupid. And at the same time that's part I haven't thought through When you see something say something you can then be sued oh well, maybe I shouldn't see something. I don't know what to do now Where where do I go? Something say something sue something whoo man see something sue something. I don't know there's gotta be a jingle in there Well if you see something sell something is our mantra yes with all your videos so your video videos yet So sells not give the videos away. I just have no horizontal make sure it's horizontal horizontal people They take they should look at this video. I made why are you shooting its vertically ah

2:54:32 You gotta tell these kids. They don't seem to know or understand. It's completely wrong There was one little thing that happened in the State Department, which is kind of fun. I chopped it down to about a minute 15 with the other beautiful reporter on television from RT, the one with the unpronounceable name. That's the one she started asking questions about US policy, about what happened? Why didn't we strongly condemned Turkey shooting down the Russian jet. But you know, that seems a little hypocritical. Luckily we're the one who ordered it

2:55:11 That's what so she's not really saying that but she's leaving the question open that becomes apparent to John Kirby Who just flipped out he just flipped out over this? Essentially the u.s Is silent on what Turkey did is the reason for this silence the fact that the US is using the angelic face in turkey and doesn't want To lose access also here we go This, this is what you're really getting at look Nobody's being silent about this. With the situation with the US- I'm gonna give you just one more, honestly and then that's it okay? Shut up! Sure Go ahead You have this cooperation you have disagreement but when something goes wrong the U.S says it is none of our business like what happening with Turkish troops Come on Again another ridiculous question When we ever said its none of our business? You are saying that about the Turkish troops No no

2:56:01 I'm saying that, I'll say it again. Okay? We want this to be worked out bilaterally between Turkey and Iraq and the way you're trying to twist all of this around to make it look like we're doing something nefarious or that were, you know, we've got some sort of inappropriate relationships here. I mean, it's just so silly. Well, am I really twisting it? I can't believe honestly that you aren't embarrassed to ask these questions. You have to be looking at these questions and almost laughing to yourself don't ya? I mean, they're absolutely crazy. Wow! Exactly which question should i be embarrassed about? You can ask me whatever you want. I'm just stunned that you're not embarrassed by some of the questions you ask and... Exactly which question?! And I noticed that RT very rarely asks any tough questions of their own government. And that is so interesting because he therefore confirms she's asking a tough question which he doesn't want to answer and ridicules

CHAPTER 47 / 50 Discussion

Friends of the Earth, Carbon Pollution and Victoria Nuland

An activist from Friends of the Earth criticized developed nations for growing "fat and rich" from carbon pollution. Meanwhile, diplomatic movements by Victoria Nuland in the country of Georgia are being monitored for potential regional escalations.

2:56:52 Construction that's good. I like that exactly what he said yeah lying sack That's very funny the guy is a douchebag years, and he does really takes it dislike to this woman probably she She does He does hmm oh Just a quick one. Oh no. I'm sorry do you have something to wrap it up? What are we getting finished um Well, I want to go back to COP 25 or whatever it is. COP 21? I don't know what number. Cop something. Some cop. And let's listen to... This is the guy from Friends of the Earth who was actually summarizing what's really going on and who's really behind everything and who's getting rich and fat by the whole global warming scam. We should all be ashamed of ourselves!

2:57:46 When you say loss and damage explain what that means in real terms That means the support for the most vulnerable the poorest people are already losing their lives and livelihoods when we're going to deal with ever increasing climate impacts largely because of the responsibility of rich developed countries who've grown fat and rich from carbon pollution You've gone fat and rich from carbon pollution. From carbon pollutions you got in fat and rich. Well, hold on a second. Hold on. There are people who are getting very fat and rich from carbon pollution absolutely oil companies there I know where you're going it's carbon dioxide is not carbon pollution

2:58:32 And the president does this all the time. We didn't even talk about it in that opening narcissistic statement that he made about carbon pollution, its carbon dioxide so when you say oh the people who put carbon in the air they profit yeah next Well, there you have it. The Georgia, not the state but the country of Georgia. Yes, Georgia the country they're gonna try to get that started again I would say that's why she is there be on the lookout you heard it here first we track her because she is... The ever evil Victoria Kagan Noodleman Noodleman in the world is Victoria Kagan Noodleman! I do have a Taliban update

CHAPTER 48 / 50 Discussion

Taliban Infighting, Mullah Omar and Al-Qaeda Rebranding

Infighting has broken out within the Taliban following suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of Mullah Omar. At the same time, there are efforts to re-emphasize the threat of Al-Qaeda to justify the continued use of military force authorizations.

taliban· mullah omar· al-qaeda· isis· heritage foundation

2:59:43 I'm glad. There are suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of Mullah Omar, and he thinks that Mansoor is lying about the circumstances of that death even accusing him of murdering Mullah Omar. And he accuses Mullah Akhtar being too close to Pakistan's intelligence service so sort of making himself out to be more patriotic and not

3:00:30 cooperating with a foreign intelligence service. So fighting has broken out in Zabul province. Some reports say that 100 people have been killed in this infighting, the factional fighting between the Taliban factions. You know I think I know why this kind of reporting is happening because we're also seeing new reports on Al-Qaeda that's being brought back? Yeah there's not actually a report...this was actually a presentation to the Heritage Foundation by this woman Lisa. Oh well but yeah so the Heritage Foundation makes sure Fox News talks about stuff. Well, they kind of have been too successful The president is seeking the reauthorization of the military use of force a use of military force from Congress and

3:01:13 And currently it is running on the October 7th, 2001 authorization for use of military force which is related specifically to the Twin Towers and Al-Qaeda and Taliban. So while ISIS... Right. Which has expired. Yes. While ISIS and ISIL is a rebranding now they're starting to bring those words back those names so that we can say oh well al Qaeda they're still out there! The splinter group that splintered off became ISIS and ISIL It's a big shit show, John. It's just incredible! Well that's why we do our show... Well I have one last thing and it comes accompanied with an email if you're up for it. Hi- hello Adam Curry? I've been a big fan of the show for over a year now as a freshman in high school Ah. I love hearing this As a freshman in high school uh I am exposed to a lot of propaganda at mind control You keep me sane

CHAPTER 49 / 50 Discussion

North Korea Propaganda, High School Education and Trump-Hitler Comparisons

A high school freshman reported that students were shown a CNN digital lab video about North Korea's military capabilities designed to instill fear. The student also noted that classroom presentations compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler, leading to a confrontation with the teacher.

north korea· propaganda· high school· donald trump· adolf hitler

3:02:14 I have no money to donate and even if i did, no PayPal. Sorry However today it was shown this clip during school. I thought of was a gem That's a Dvorakism right there nice Anyway, isn't it nice how we corrupt the children? I thought it was a gem! Anyway. Thank you for everything if you have any questions about today's high school... ...I volunteer If I could only punch more people in the mouth Cheers a future slave No, you're not a future slave Quite the opposite because what beautiful thinking Beautiful thinking From from a young person to say wait a minute this is propaganda This is bullcrap and then he sent me the clip

3:02:54 And it's better if you watch it, but I'd be very easy to explain what you're seeing. This is about North Korea and their nuclear programs or just all their weaponry intended to sow incredible fear about this crazy nation who can kill everybody And this is being shown to freshmen in high school. And when you see the video, it's one of those that CNN does but I think it's part of their digital lab so someone else probably paid for this. This is not a report that I've ever seen on television. It is the digital side only and every single word...every statistic the woman in the report mentions there are huge letters come up on the screen like they're full big font that covers the entire screen. 72 points

3:03:44 North Korea loves to threaten all-out war. In times of high tension, the regime makes that threat multiple times a week but could they do it? Do they have the firepower to back those fiery threats? What does the military in the hermit kingdom look like? Remember this has shown these high school students to scare the shit out of them Boots on the ground. They have 1.2 million active soldiers 7.7 million in the reserve army if you're doing the math that is 9 million Soldiers it is a massive army afraid the conventional weapons they would be using though are old artillery forces North Korea has 8,600 artillery cannons that big big words 8,600 they've got nine millions there's a lot of them

3:04:35 The reason why is that they are cheap. The weapons though do have limited range tanks 4,300 of them on North Korean tanks date back to the Soviet era also old fighter jets 820 of them these fighter jets are Extremely bold their equivalent to the u.s.'s Vietnam-era fighter jets one usf 16 could take down a large number of North Korean fighters at any Oh, there's hope!

3:05:17 Be afraid of the submarines with special forces pooping out the back of them. What are they gonna dock and the guys gonna jump out or go through the torpedo tube? That's my favorite, through the torpedo tube! Gets us to... Special Forces North Korea has approximately 200 thousand soldiers in the Special Forces Now troops are cheap but these troops are highly affected They are very dangerous They can travel in a small squad so their hard to detect And they could carry in chemical weapons. Now to the west, chemical weapons are most worrisome they are difficult to detect difficult to track remember freshman in high school North Korea has an unknown number of chemical weapons one small chemical weapon released here in the heart of Seoul could do untold damage on the population

3:06:06 missiles. The ones you see... I don't know if i need to continue, you get the idea. It's corny. 15 year olds yeah they need this and it's bullcrap! So I went back and forth on the email with that clip was shown additionally students as a part of the presentation also had a slideshow about how Trump was like Hitler I argued with the teacher that what Trump wanted to do, keep Muslims out was in fact not unconstitutional. The teacher is no longer fond of me."

3:06:42 Yeah, yeah you're making a mistake Talk to these people well tell these children what to do these kids. He's young adults What should he be doing take it in I can take your careful notes?
