Climate Deaths

00:00 Hey, wanna come to my bomb shelter kids? Adam Curry. John C. DeVorah. It's Sunday January 3rd 2016 time once again for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 787! This is no agenda Kicking off another year of guarding your reality, deconstructing the ever-shrinking mainstream media and broadcasting live from the capital, the drone star state in FEMA Region 6. In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Brotherhood Lakan Valley if i can spit that out by the way it's the first show of 2016 I'm John C DeVora It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! You hit the post perfectly good job I don't know how you do it

00:39 Hey, happy new year John. Happy New Year ships and sea boots on the ground What'd you do? You just hang out at home Yeah, I do hang out at home because it's a because there's millions of cops out there You can't even drive from point A to point B without getting stopped whether they've done anything wrong or not. They just Stop everybody it's a police state why should I go out? Yes This is a very good point about the pen as you took uber that you know try to bypass a lot of this even though you get stopped anyway Mm-hmm you have to pay like 5x oh It was 10x in some in some cities well my vexed 10x. I don't care fine

01:17 Too many X. So yeah, I stayed home but I get to see fireworks as fireworks you know I can watch them. We got so lucky...I was at home with Tina for the actual celebrations but at 10 here in Austin there was a 15-minute firework show on the river that i could see from the back of my building it was fantastic! At 10? That was the weird thing. Like what are you doing at 10? I'm telling so we, yeah, I face the north side but all he had to do is just go down the hall to the elevators and this huge window and you look out the south side And it being ten o'clock there were a lot of kids there We couldn't have been more than a block away from... two blocks away from where they're being Oh fantastic

02:07 Really nice, but 10 o'clock and then you know well We'll go and check again at midnight midnight comes nothing very strange So they just did a ten o'clock in that shut down the town. I think they didn't want to have excessive bangs going off at midnight since Midnight also Marked the beginning of our Open carry laws here. I have a clip oh so do I no? But I'll listen to yours where is it what'd you get? Open carry in Texas? That would be it. Okay! You're setting off a heated debate across this country over gun laws In the coming days, President Obama expected to take executive action expanding background checks while in Texas a new open-carry policy taking effect today allowing gun owners to visibly carry weapons in public ABC's Ryan Owens in Dallas tonight

02:59 Some Texans spending their New Year's Day proudly wearing their weapons in public and as of today it is all perfectly legal. Very historic day for Texas! Registered gun owners can now wear their guns in a holster, in church, in banks and many other businesses As long as they show their license guntoting Texans can even visit the state capitol without going through a metal detector I think the bad guys have guns so we should all arm ourselves too. The Lone Star State just became the 45th and most populated to allow registered gun owners to open carry as it's known. I do want to point out everybody that were not the only crazy people is not only Texas, forty-five states. Supporters of the new law say will make this state safer that bad guys will think twice if they see a good guy with a gun Not everyone is convinced.

03:50 victim of someone's idiocy because they're like trying to be like Rambo or something and try to save some people. Some police departments are worried too that 911 will be flooded with calls. They have a gun! One department even producing this video to educate nervous citizens is the gun out of its holster, is the person acting reckless, be open carry. Shoot him down! Any private business here in Texas can opt out of this new law and plenty including Whole Foods have all they have to do is put up a sign just like this one it's also important to note you still cannot carry a gun to your child school or in a courthouse no Tom turns out we had exactly the same clip

04:32 Exactly the same clip. That doesn't happen often. Yeah, exactly the same clip There's a couple other things going on at the same time though The president did his podcast about how we need to protect America's children and CB instead of playing the podcast itself which actually I'll play the opening he sounded drunk man Well, it's New Year's. It's possible. Yeah, just- and see here... President Obama! No that's not it This is last year He did it last year He should just be plastered the whole year Listen to the... Happy new year everybody! No listen to him Can't rule me out! Yeah he should listen this is very funny listen Happy new year everybody! He slurring right off at the beginning I am fired up for the year that stretches Let's go to the end you can hear his drunk at the end too it's really strange

05:19 So I know there are a bunch of us who care about this. If you are one of them, I need your help. Change is always going to take all of us. The gun lobby is loud and well organized in its defense of effortlessly... Effortlessly? What does effer-furt-lessly mean? Why doesn't someone say Mr President let's do that one over? Because they don't like him? Must be! Like screw him let them flub around That's actually something the MTV control room would do all the time. Screw her, Julie Brown let her flub around. The gun lobby is loud and well organized in its defense of effortlessly available guns for anyone. The rest of us are going to have to be just as passionate and well-organized in our defense of our kids that's the work of citizenship to stand up and fight for the change that we seek

06:12 I hope you'll join me in making America safer for all of our children. Yeah, thanks everybody. CBS did kind of a deconstruction and explained what he meant by the entire podcast. President Obama is beginning his final 12 months in office with a renewed effort to reduce gun violence following a year that saw 331 mass shootings incidents in which four or more people were shot. Mr. Obama is planning a series of executive actions which would not require the approval of Congress The president is wrapping up his vacation in Hawaii Chip Reid is there

06:48 It was just after the mass shooting at an Oregon community college in October that the president decided he had to take executive action on guns. He made the announcement today in his weekly address posted on The White House website. A few months ago I directed my team of The White House to look into any new actions I can take to help reduce gun violence. Hold on, stop! Stop! Isn't gun violence been steadily falling since about 1990? I believe that even is mentioned in this report, interestingly. Well if that's happening... well what's all this panic? Why panic mode? Why rush all these things through? What's the hurry? Well John you know what it is! Maybe if he didn't do anything it would continue to drop maybe by doing something it was shove it back up again

07:34 Yeah, possible. Possible. This is about throwing crazy people in jail ultimately and yes of course it's to get rid of all guns. And on Monday I'll meet with our Attorney General Loretta Lynch to discuss our options We'll sing a song country western song Sources tell CBS News those options include expanding the definition of who is in the business of selling guns so that more gun sales trigger background checks and requiring enhanced reporting and tracking of lost and stolen guns. Hold on a second, hold on this was a big day Further deconstructed this to say this, you know gun show gun collectors. Yeah example Yep Are they are they can they that these swap a lot of guns around? Now I want to ask you something is the last at the big shooting down in San Bernardino Or was there any shooting that was shot that guy used a gun that he it's a collectible no

08:27 In fact, we still do not know exactly which guns were used in San Bernardino nor do we know exactly which guns were used in Paris. So you think they were collectibles? They went to a gun collector and found some antique guns and used those? Yeah, yeah, muskets Joe, muskets, no. Okay, Boston stolen guns today the president blames the Republican Congress for giving him one no choice But to take unilateral action no choice. We know we can't stop every act of violence If we tried to stop even one What if Congress did something, anything to protect our kids from gun violence? Last month Senate Republicans blocked Democratic proposals that would prevent people on the terror watch list from buying guns and require background checks for online gun purchases. I have a couple of clips related to this. San Bernardino shooting was how many kids were shot none This is referring to Sandy Hook

09:23 So there's a lot of different ways that people are getting involved in trying to help the president, uh...to remove guns from society in the United States. And one of them is this project called Unload Your 401K! And the idea is, although in this report you'll see it's kind of futile. Is 401k a gun? No the idea well the unload your 401K... The idea is if you have a 401k there are ways to call up your manager of the fund and say I do not want any investments in gun manufacturers. So this is the new brilliant push. Trauma surgeon Sheldon Tepperman treats a gunshot victim almost every day at Jacoby Medical Center in the Bronx he's been doing it for 32 years you see all the senseless violence and you see it year after year after year when you call your financial advisor were they surprised?

10:18 He was not surprised at all. All I had to do is sign the memo and give him the instruction, not to allow any of my money to be invested in these killing machines." Tepperman is part of a national effort called Unload Your 401k. There's a lot of profit that can be made for all this sorrow, death and destruction. It encourages investors to check their 401K plans and divest from gun stocks. Most of the spokespeople are victims' family members. Leah Gunn Barrett, who helped create the campaign says if you own stocks in large mutual funds you may own shares in gun manufacturers. So we have to build awareness just like we did for the divestment campaign during the years of apartheid in South Africa

11:02 Currently, pension funds in Chicago are vowing to sell off firearms investments. In Philadelphia they already did it. In California the state teachers retirement system one of the largest pension funds in the nation voted unanimously to divest But equity analyst Brian Ruttenberg says divestment just creates opportunities for someone else. You have hundreds if not thousands of other funds that will take up the slack and don't have those restrictions there's only a handful of funds that are going to get that pressure and we'll divest in 2015 most gun manufacturer stocks did very well Smith & Wesson grew more than 133% so on the face bag hold on a second

11:47 So why don't we put this effort into ending poverty and homelessness? That's a great idea. You talk about, you know, these guy getting shot every day in the Bronx...why is that? Poverty, homelessness maybe those two are elements... No no it's guns! It's guns everywhere. Poverty, guns equals death I think that's the idea. Maybe the poverty part of the formula is the one that should be adjusted? That's a good... Let's get rid of the guns and make them even more impoverished! So this open carry thing is freaking a lot of people out, and... 45 states have got this law so what's new? Nothing really new. In fact you guys are little late to the game It's an opportunity for people to come up with great ideas and one of them

12:36 Kind of went viral on the face bag. I saw it over the past few days and it's an idea that sprang from a professor of, I think he's sociology? I'll have to look him up... University of North Dakota! And he has THE solution John! It's a longish clip so we could stop any time I think you'll be interested in hearing the entire theory and his explanation of why his brilliant idea is going to work, how we are going to force OpenCarry to go away. Are you ready? No! I have to ask where he got this clip first... It's the university professor himself who filmed it in the University And then how did they get distributed? Oh well he posted an article on the university website that went viral

13:30 Okay, and then so here he is explaining it in video. Why? Hey, yeah. Why did you want to know where I got it? Oh because I want to know if it came from a trusted source Well, it came from it's from the professor himself hi Jack Russell Weinstein Professor of philosophy and director of the Institute for philosophy in public life at the University of North Dakota I'm here today because I posted something on our blog pqed org that went viral much to my surprise 113 thousand people shared it and there were thousands of comments in response

14:05 I really wanted to talk as a philosopher about the gun rights debate, but most specifically i wanted to talk about open carry activists. Because for me it's problematic but i didn't just want to be a voice in the gun debate. I wanted to be a philosopher asking how to solve an intractable problem what's the problem? This is the stuff people love on facebag oh yes we're great solution! Uncarry activists particularly in Texas who wanted go places like Target and restaurant, and carry loaded guns often high-powered automatic weapons. Oh automatic no less! Automatic weapons John not semi but full automatic yeah apparently I didn't know that their automatic weapons were legal in any state. I'll give the guy a break. And restaurant and carry loaded guns often high powered automatic weapons and then there are people who are scared of it and don't want to eat in a restaurant with people who are fully armed

15:00 Both of those positions may be understandable. So how, as a philosopher do I deal with that? The answer I came up with respected both people's rights the people in the restaurant who are uncomfortable just leave but they're supposed to leave because they're afraid and that leads to another philosophical problem if you're afraid for your life Do you pay the tab? Okay You see where this is going On Facebook you can now print out cards that you would leave on the table and say, I feel threatened by people with guns here. I'm leaving. I'm not paying for my... I'm not paying the tab. And my answer- Yeah, I think you've summarized whatever point he is going to make. My answer was no. My answer was if you're afraid for your life, you just get up and leave

15:50 Maybe the restaurant pays the bill themselves, maybe activists pay the bill. But in reality if you're genuinely concerned that someone is going to shoot you... Then why go to a restaurant in the first place? ...kids it makes no sense to pay the bill It makes no sense to go in and rip off the restaurant guy. Oh, no he's going to explain... This guy is a criminal! He's gonna explain... This is bullcrap if you don't like the restaurant... If there was open...if you're in the state of Texas You're gonna go into a restaurant There's gonna be a guy carrying a gun it's gonna be an every restaurant or know are no restaurants So they're gonna have that sign out front which by the way They can do there's that sign they showed on the ABC report That you could put put yeah, yes well That is that is I guess anyone can do that Whole Foods has done that H-EB has done that

16:33 Yeah. So what's the big deal? This guy is a showboater I think it's important because people believe this guy and i'm telling you, this is a movement now People are seriously considering doing this Just cause of the facebags Yes! Of course That is where everyone is getting everything I don't want to say that people freaked out because most of the people who commented on the blog supported it. And in fact, lots of people felt that this idea was a rational safe calm idea that respected everyone's right But there were a group of gun activists. He doesn't respect the restauranteur's rights to make a living! He is going to explain exactly why that is right, this thing that's crazy, this thinking is insane. Who felt that this was theft, that it was taking advantage of situation and then ultimately that this was some form discrimination and intolerance That people didn't like gun owners so they wanted to leave

17:34 How would it be if I didn't like an African-American? Or, if I didn't like a tall person or I didn't like an immigrant. Would it be okay to leave them?" And the answer that came up in a different post was that is completely different First of all, its not thievery If you are leaving the restaurant because you don't want to pay the bill, then you're a thief. I'm a philosopher! I'm not talking about you on the theoretical level. I'm concerned about your intentions. I'm concerned about what's going on in your head if you leave because you're afraid that's moral If you leave because you don't want to pay the bill, that's not law. Well if you leave because your afraid of a black man... Well he- well that's exactly the right question and somehow he is able to say that you are in your right if you feel threatened and you don't have to pay the bill. IF however, you wanna compare it to the history of discrimination

18:27 then that's not quite right. First of all, under the Constitution we have protected groups and traditionally marginalized people women in this country African-American in this country gays and lesbians in this country if you leave because they're there and they're no threat to you than that's a problem I think what the open carry guys in Austin should do is get a whole bunch of gay black guys to go into restaurants and say hey wait a minute you want me out? That's discrimination! Well, first of all...I don't know how long you want to keep playing this game. No, no we don't have to listen anymore He is full of himself and he actually thinks this is some sort of a solution even though it doesn't make any sense especially when he brings up the Constitution well if there's protected groups there's also protected gun ownership second amendment Of course that's the thing he doesn't mention but of course its protected And it would also be disingenuous to go into a restaurant

19:28 eat, and then say I feel threatened and walk out and consider that moral. This guy's just encouraging scofflaw. Yes And it's catching on. There is everywhere on Facebook... It's not going to go anywhere, I don't believe it's gonna happen. You think you're gonna get away with it? You think that if you go to a restaurant and stiff the owners and then walk out and then not get busted...? Yes! I think that it might get to that. That's pretty naive. It might get to that John. In Austin people are strange here

20:06 I can totally see people printing that out, going and expressly finding a place of course. You have to scheme it first of all it's premeditated if you bring the card in the first place. It's not like he wrote a little note...you went in with that card for the intention of ripping off the restaurant! I don't see how any judge or jury is gonna see it any other way It's premeditated. You have the card, you're ready to do it! I'm glad you're all upset about it... I find these people annoying Yeah well this is people educating the Millennials Well yeah Don't know how the Millennials react anything Although I would say that your probably right Your the one who's on the face of the hags and uh... You're following it, Im not but I have to say I do Twitter and thats about as far as I go

21:01 Anyway, and I didn't see us. Did you look at Instagram? Yeah, it's the grams of future Instagram broke their API Yeah, I think that's hilarious. Listen to new presidents Instagram? No Oh yeah we've got official Instagram all with the most staged photos I mean Instagram began as you got a cheap little phone You take a photo you fix it up a little bit and post it that though these are all like you know Staged photos with high-end gear and they have the one thing they have the one at their top when they've got Obama in the Oval Office. What is his Instagram? Is it instagram slash POTUS? No, it's something else I have to go to the other machine to get it. That's alright, I'll find it You can look it up and he's there with these Star Wars characters Barack Obama that makes sense Yeah, Obama's there with a little robot and one of them

21:56 Guys in the white that white outfit this stormtrooper Stormtroopers who wear this way thing and it doesn't stop a pebble the plastic white What's the point they might so be naked? But it did remind me of... I have a clip, and then we'll go completely off to another topic. But the various levels of honesty with different presidents, I've come to the conclusion after listening this stuff on C-SPAN and then relating my own story that the last honest president that we ever had in office was George HW Bush who served one term

22:36 Everybody since then has been corrupt and I would say Obama plugging the Star Wars movie in his Instagram account is a good example. What clip is it? It's the speechwriter Yeah, this is a clip that C-SPAN had an event or they covered an event that took place at one of the East Coast universities. And they brought in all these presidential speechwriters who had all these tales to tell and it was actually very entertaining but this one woman came up to discuss...she was one of George HW Bush's speechwriters to discuss the correspondence dinner and how you wrote jokes for it I found it very enlightening

23:17 So what we would do for the big White House Correspondents Dinners and Gridiron, all this is we'd have the researchers come up with lists of all the current stuff. The top movies, the top songs, celebrity train wrecks you know whatever and then we would call in all these funny people whether they were professionally associated with us or not And we'd put a big bottle of scotch in the middle of the table. This would be at 6 o'clock at night, not at lunch or something. Sure Mary Kate. We'd all start saying OK what can we do here? In those days it would be like something with Michael Jackson and the Speaker of the House or whatever you come up with these funny incongruent things 95% percent of it completely unusable by the President United States. We were particularly constrained because George Bush did not like

24:08 humor that belittled other people or insulted people or in any way made fun especially of his political opponents. I think that was a great credit to him and the reason why he got so much done in a bipartisan way because he did not stoop to, you know, insulting I didn't know that. I thought the correspondence dinner was always used to roast everybody, especially the political opponents and HW didn't do that apparently. So we were left with jokes about broccoli, Millie the dog,

24:44 Yeah, right on. Yeah, why does he have to do it? He's not a stand-up comic. Not at all Obama loves it yeah well he loves it so much that Jerry Seinfeld considered him a comedian to be on his show That's how he's premised the whole bit yeah Did you watch it I tried to watch it for one thing he doesn't get to leave the White House ground So things are so he throws his Corvette and he drives around you know

25:37 I thought the president was really arrogant, trying to be funny but it came across to me as just incredibly arrogant. Oh he's incredibly arrogant! It was very...I thought it was hard to watch. I watched about...I got into about six or seven minutes of and then I just killed it. It wasn't funny No, it wasn't funny. And they weren't interacting well and he was... the president was full of himself and it was weird. Weird I suppose that's starting to make me itch. I understand the feeling Well while we're on the topic of the President... Well let's time for some presidential proclamations It's not a very good jingle but it's gonna have to do

26:18 That's right! It is the start of a new month, a new year and time for your presidential proclamations as signed into law by the President United States. We have three I think that are of note? The first one is this is National Mentoring Month. National Mentoring Month. Ah! As throughout our history Americans of every background have worked to uphold this ideal joining together in common purpose to serve as mentors and lift up our country's yutes During National Mentoring Month, we honor all those who continuously strive to provide young people with the resources and support they need and deserve. So whenever these presidential proclamations are published, you always have to look and see what is the political part that's... What is this a part of? Then something either it's legislation. There's always some kind of proclamation about guns when there's gun legislation coming up This one I had to read through the whole thing and then I found out my administration is committed to fostering opportunities for mentorship

27:18 Because when our children have strong positive role models to look up to, they grow up to be good neighbors and good fellow citizens. Through the My Brother's Keeper initiative we're working with local governments businesses and charitable organizations This is a blatant native ad for the president's post-presidential job which is that my brother's keeper initiative Wow what gall! Which is a complete non-government, I mean yeah. An NGO? It's an NGO, exactly Yeah that he's gonna run with his huge mailing list Yep He learned from the Clintons about how to do this Oh yeah For a scam The president also proclaimed this to be National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month which seems obvious

28:08 Our intelligence teams have devoted more resources to identifying trafficking networks, law enforcement officers have been working to dismantle those networks and prosecutors have striven to punish traffickers. And when they're doing it through utilize better technology and great...and one of our old favorites which is always misunderstood here on the show by presidential proclamation it is National Stalking Awareness Month We always love this. There should be a logo for this with somebody peeping out the window looking for stalker Oh man, but really it's only about women You know he goes on to talk about the violence against women all the time Yes, yeah in fact when it comes to stalking I think it's one of the big travesties of our justice system yes men definitely get stalked

29:02 I signed the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, a groundbreaking law that recognizes stalking as the crime it is and provides more resources to victims. The act also created new protections for lesbian gay bisexual and transgender victims as well as for immigrants and Native American women Obviously straight middle-aged white dudes are fair game! Stalk away Well that's a good way to start the year It has nothing uplifting from them man Nothing Although I have to say, we have to be extremely worried at this point. We only have 23 weeks 21 days left until we die. According to who? Al Gore! January 26 2006 Americans have been hearing it for decades wavering between belief and skepticism. He said this in 2006.

30:01 Politicians and corporations have been ignoring the issue for decades to the point that unless drastic measures to reduce greenhouse gases are taken within the next 10 years, The world will reach a point of no return. And I also believe he said in 2006... We've had a number of no-return points over the last ten years But this was the big one. This is when he came out with Inconvenient Truth and won the Oscar, it was all about 10 more years and if we haven't fixed it which we haven't... We have not? Haven't fixed no So we should be dead in about three weeks time That'll be halfway point he says It's the point of no return so what's the length of this flight

30:51 What do you mean? Oh, I mean this is like... We have 10 years. Yeah that's a good point yeah 10 years to undo it It didn't begin in 2006 so if it began in 1705 then the halfway point is at the end of the month and it will be 2300 before we have to start worrying Well, the Verge... Because they've never determined when it began. No Have you noticed this? Yeah Well The Verge did a piece and The Verge of course is I think this is a native ad, I'm not quite sure They're one of the top native ad buyers Yeah, I know they are, creators

31:27 And they did a you know we've always been talking about Miami the fish are flopping in the streets fisher flopping everywhere So they did this piece which is? Unbelievable, and it's the verge. You know they got a big audience and it's kind of like a buzzfeed with people who will watch that I believe anything I see And this is pretty much we're all gonna die. Forget about the ball dropping and confetti crowds in Times Square, Miami has an all night dance party, La Gran Maraja drop, and of course Pitbull! I love how they kind of bring the global warming climate change into popular culture with pit bull. Pitbull loves Miami...and so should you but now's a time to enjoy it because the city probably won't exist in the next 100 years Oh enjoy? Nooo! We're all gonna die

32:08 Miami is one of the first US cities already experiencing the effects of climate change and it's only going to get worse. 60% of Miami-Dade County is less than 2 meters above sea level, and unabated climate change until 2100 could result in a 4.3 to 9.9 meter sea level rise. 9.9 meter! Meter! That's 27 feet. Twenty-something feet. 27 feet, wow! As if that weren't enough Miami geology renders it uniquely vulnerable the city and its beaches are built on porous limestone which This is the actual problem Soaks up seawater The sea water forces sewage up from its pipes where can pollute fresh water South Florida is mostly at sea level about 2.4 million people live less than 1.2 meters above the sea But that's enough The Netherlands is

32:55 I think it's seven feet below sea level. Yeah, you can rise a bone when I go there Well don't fall in the canal that's like if all the residents of Wyoming Vermont and New Hampshire were at risk I love how they do that so they just take a bunch of random states and say That's like all these people in these states would be at risk which is just it's not journalistic What is going on here up from its pipes or complete fresh water South Florida? Is mostly at sea level about 2.4 million An Atlantis-like future? Mmm! That sounds like several more meters than just the, uh... you know, the nine she's talking about.

33:40 Just to scare the stupid people that read this publication? No, no. It's just another way to promote Pitbull I think. More than 20 million people will be submerged if the Earth's temperature raises 4 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Who writes this shit over there? People will be submerged! In Egypt, just a 1 meter increase in sea level could force 10% of Egyptians mostly in the Nile River Delta from their homes Bangladesh will be 17 percent underwater by 2050 displacing about 18 million residents 2014 was the hottest year on instrumental record since 1880. 10 of the last hottest years with the exception of 1998 have occurred since 2000." There's something going on with this, so there are two new pieces of information I have not heard in this you know... The last ten years on record were the warmest ever one she said back to 1880 i'm not sure if there's some significance to that and the other one was except for 1998 Have you heard that before?

34:38 No. The 1998 apparently, everyone's got different numbers man. And 2015 is on track to surpass 2014 by a significant margin in India 2015 had an extreme summer heatwave causing 2200 deaths actually on screen it said 2200 climate deaths up north Greenland ice sheets experience historically low ice cover Unfortunately current project I'm a death climate deaths. Yeah, this is that on screen is at 2200 climate deaths Yeah, we should probably write new words like our phrase climate death. We should write that down. I mean, I just did yeah Climate death. Greenland's ice sheets experience historically low ice cover Unfortunately current projections say 2016 isn't going to be much better Long-term we're looking at a US which could look more like this They show the us shrunk and like Florida is completely gone half of California is gone just little blob of turf And that's America in a world that looks like this

35:36 Yeah, there's like nothing left. So as you're celebrating the new year ask who is going to last longer? Miami or Pitbull? My money is on Mr. 305. She thinks by the way I can't even watch pit bull she said guy bald he looks like he's wearing a suit all the time it looks just Just a screwball act. He doesn't see what the appeal is. I mean we must have the best public relations No, he's the man. He's the male. He's the male JLo Well, yeah. Okay... Well it sounds like it's time for my report then! Oh hold on a second let me get the report ready What has changed? Somethings changed here Hold on Hmm Yeah well you can't do- oh I see no That's strange You cant do your report I cant?! Well okay maybe if we're lucky Because of what is happening in Greenland right now The maps of the world will have to be redrawn HERE WE GO

36:37 This is what would happen to San Francisco Bay. Well, I'm looking out the window and the mudflats are still there. There hasn't been any sea rise at all but more importantly over Christmas one of our nice Mathieu Hely in Quebec sent me a couple of maps USGS maps I don't know where he got them, but they're beautifully put together and laminated in the whole thing. And the one that he got me a map from like a year or so ago which shows the mudflats clearly and then he got me a map from 1895! Which is actually quite entertaining to just go over it look at the little town of Giant which seems to have disappeared... we have a Richmond

37:32 Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. And it turns out that where the Richmond site is, that was actually a standalone island in a bunch of mudflats that were filled in. It's very interesting old map. Well the funny thing is... Here we go! ...the mud flats I'm reporting on were there just as they are now in 1895. Where has this sea level rise? We're talking about over 100 years, 115 years and we have no change? I'm not seeing what Gore is talking about. I think the message is if you don't vote for Pitbull, you die of climate change. Whatever the case... boom! So still out there to summarize To summarize? The mudflat? Bullshit. Just a report.

38:30 We're still alive Outstanding I really appreciate that map. It was very interesting we go the family now He goes it's at the dinner table you all looking into oh look at this This is with the old Oakland mole where it became the Bay Bridge and you can see there's no bridges old maps are going to here in their old maps are great to look at Yeah, especially detail this very detailed map who made that man who was a USGS? Oh cool Excellent. I think we need to discuss what's going on in Oregon with the, I call them the Oregon Oathers. This is about a group of guys taking over the Malheur National Wildlife Refugee Headquarters? Have you followed this at all? I'm remembering... it's starting to come to me. It's nothing that I've been following now

39:29 So, what the news is reporting and it's just kind of starting up now. They're using one consistent word. I'll read you just three headlines. Militia takes over Malheur National Wildlife Refuge headquarters. Armed militia occupy Forest Reserve headquarters. Armed militia protest Occupy Oregon National Refuge building. So it appears to me...just generalizing from those three headlines that they're emphasizing militia. Yes exactly! So I spent probably about an hour and a half last night. probably in the last 40 years has been militias are bad. And to say militias means, you know, it brings in crazy gun rights guys because... White supremacists. ...an armed militia has a right to bear arms white crazy guys and the way is being presented is these are just those crazy gunguy's of their authors and they're against the government

40:30 But really what's happening in this case... Explain what an oather is before you continue. There's a group of people who call themselves oathers and they solemnly live by the oath to defend and uphold the Constitution, so there are oaths... Just like the president? No that's not okay! It depends on your view. Yeah just like the president And so the way this kind of comes across, because a little crossover and you know, a little confusion with the Bundy Ranch and the Bureau of Land Management. But what is happening here took awhile to get into it to really figure out what the actual problem is there were two guys who live there in that area and they were using their land for, you know, for their cows or cattle to graze on and they had started fires

41:26 on a couple of acres, you know to burn it down so the grass can grow again and one of these fires got out Of control and burned down a couple acres of land that they had these guys had no right to be on And this happened years ago. This happened I think seven or eight years ago And they were convicted. They each got three months, I think and they had to pay back $400,000 in damages for the land that was burned and... The court came back and said no-no we're arresting you again You now have to go to jail for five years! And the reason why this changed is because they Now have charged these guys under the 1996 terrorism law That states if you commit arson

42:13 then you are a domestic terrorist and you will be jailed for no less than five years. And the judge is now saying, hey, you know, you clearly are a terrorist because you committed arson and it's 1996 terrorism law is very strange I don't think we've ever discussed this or read this. It's a pretty large document. So they've been re-sentenced under the terrorism law. Under whose encouragement? The Attorney General, I guess. Well you don't know? That I don't know... No, I don't know but i think that's the uh here whoever maliciously damages or destroys or attempts to damage or destroy by means of fire or an explosive any building vehicle or other personal or real property in whole and part owned possessed by or leased to the United States or any department or agency thereof shall be imprisoned for not less than five years and not more than 20 years so because the fire burned on federal land

43:15 It's a grass fire? Yeah. Terrorism! Yeah, it's in the 1996 terrorism law. That's what it says. Now the way this is being handled in the media is completely different of course and I don't think you'll see that discussed at all what the case is really about other than hey it's a bunch of Oathers crazy militia guys and I was watching CNN...I could not believe what...what's the guy's name LZ Granderson was his name the ex-football guy I don't know. With the dreadlocks? Yeah, you know who i'm talking about LZ I think his name is...Lz So listen to the conversation where he takes it This does not happen in a vacuum this happens because for years people In the media people in politics people in positions of power have ratcheted up this rhetoric

44:07 about revolutionaries, about Tea Partyism. Minute Men have made an explicit comparison between where we are and the 1770s. You see what this is? This is with the meme! This is all crazy revolutionary guys, 1776 all nut jobs... And then I think there's a very good chance it ends in violence that was the thing that's the thing about this episode that frightens me More than the crazy comments that got blown up and became a political issue piggyback off that though Can you imagine what would have happened if a black man and his his supporters who didn't pay taxes? Student defiance of the federal government with semi assault rifles and weapons standing there saying don't tread on me if a black man was in a situation No, probably there would be no issue at all. That's disgusting what he did there

44:59 Is that what they were doing? That's what they're doing. Imagine if you were a black man! No, I mean is that what they were doing standing there brandishing their weapons? Some of them were carrying but not brandishing by the technical... Hands up don't shoot But for this guy to say oh imagine it was a black guy Oh he'd be shot in the head right away no no i don't think so i don't think So but that kind of rhetoric that is real rhetoric Well Did you walk to the bathroom I didn't walk to the bathroom, i went to get a sheet of paper. Okay but we-I wanted hear more you stopped on it after the black guy well that's all i got! Oh... oh i'm sorry it's all the same thing this has gotta be some bigger scheme here now you gotta get me to look into it It's coming, it's coming hey i think this is the scheme again to point out and you know it's great timing the president's gonna bring in some executive orders it's great timing say well you know we also got these crazies out there militia militia it's a group of guys

46:04 They don't have uniforms on that are coordinated uniforms. They don't have ranks and... Do they have patches? No, no, some are wearing camo pants that would be about it Big deal you can't go anywhere without wearing camo pants But I'm quite worried that this is not going well. It's already not being reported as to what the actual issue is, but it's going to be used... As you heard, oh these are crazy guys they love this stuff yeah against the federal government hate them tea partiers. Huh? Yeah huh he's right all right well let's see what else we got Oh I gotta just start with the beginning of the year here's January 1 reports is January one This is ABC's

46:51 kind of a look at what's ahead. And we begin with terror concerns and that deadly attack in Tel Aviv, the urgent manhunt for a gunman you see him there caught on camera pulling an assault weapon from his backpack taking the first steps of a shooting rampage and in France soldiers opening fire wounding a driver who ran into them trying to ram his car into a mosque high tensions on this is the first day of 2016 and we start with ABC's Alex Marquardt The attacker paces and pretends to shop before heading for the door, putting down his backpack and opening fire with an automatic weapon. The next-door bar sprayed with bullets as people try to flee. The quiet of New Year's Day in central Tel Aviv shattered. Two dead and seven wounded. The motive of the gunman reportedly an Israeli Arab is unclear amid reports he was mentally unstable and smiled during the attack. And I hide myself under the bar

46:04 They don't have uniforms on that are coordinated uniforms. They don't have ranks and... Do they have patches? No, no, some are wearing camo pants that would be about it Big deal you can't go anywhere without wearing camo pants But I'm quite worried that this is not going well. It's already not being reported as to what the actual issue is, but it's going to be used... As you heard, oh these are crazy guys they love this stuff yeah against the federal government hate them tea partiers. Huh? Yeah huh he's right all right well let's see what else we got Oh I gotta just start with the beginning of the year here's January 1 reports is January one This is ABC's

46:51 kind of a look at what's ahead. And we begin with terror concerns and that deadly attack in Tel Aviv, the urgent manhunt for a gunman you see him there caught on camera pulling an assault weapon from his backpack taking the first steps of a shooting rampage and in France soldiers opening fire wounding a driver who ran into them trying to ram his car into a mosque high tensions on this is the first day of 2016 and we start with ABC's Alex Marquardt The attacker paces and pretends to shop before heading for the door, putting down his backpack and opening fire with an automatic weapon. The next-door bar sprayed with bullets as people try to flee. The quiet of New Year's Day in central Tel Aviv shattered. Two dead and seven wounded. The motive of the gunman reportedly an Israeli Arab is unclear amid reports he was mentally unstable and smiled during the attack. And I hide myself under the bar

47:49 I'm here and waiting that it's finished, but it was like horrible. Israel is hardly new to violence and terror while Europe after the Paris attacks is a continent on edge as it starts to grapple with a new reality and new possible threats In France today, soldiers guarding a mosque fired at the driver who twice tried to ram them. They wounded the attacker who ended up in a ditch. French authorities say they're investigating the motive. Munich shut down two train stations on New Year's Eve after intelligence warned of a specific attack involving ISIS suicide bombers here

48:25 Here in London, 3,000 police officers were deployed for New Year's celebrations and there were no incidents. But there is no mistaking the jitters across Europe now with one top German official calling this situation a general permanent terror threat." Tom? A sobering phrase all right Alex thank you. Sobering phrase I have a report... Permanent what was it you gotta go play that little bit of clip at the end because that's like the phrase a permanent threat. And by the way, I want to ask you. Let's roll back. I don't know if it was maybe before your times but there was the Munich Olympics and then a bunch of terrorists killed a bunch of Israeli athletes and then... There was a guy named Jackal who used to blow up planes and there was the raid on Entebbe where a plane was hijacked in Uganda, a bunch people dead. How come we... That has been going on since I was a kid?

49:15 What's changed so much that we have to have this complete fear tactic aimed at the public? It doesn't seem new to me. I mean, it seems like old and so what! Let me take you back in time to 1975 January 29th No, between...January 1st 1975 Here is the report on the news at the time in 1975. in which a powerful bomb explosion that devastated the baggage area in the main terminal at the airport killed at least 12 persons and injured at least 75 others. Okay, this was the bombing at LaGuardia it happened on December 29th 1975 between then and New Year's um... New York Transit's authority didn't shut down Dick Clark did not cancel his new year's rockin' eve

50:19 A huge crowd did not decide to not come to Times Square. Travelers had upcoming flights, they weren't cancelled... Now there's your question as to what happened! Okay? That's not the question that just more proof of what I said Well yeah yes it is proof thank you It's proof that we were not like this We were all scared out of our wits and all nutty We didn't like it I'm sure Now, in Brussels...I had a clip of this somewhere along the lines. I screwed up and lost it but...and it wasn't much more than what I'm gonna say. So Brussels shuts down because they're all freaked out so they shut down the host city and they're not gonna have their celebrations nothing right? And I said right on purpose. But I did it to get you to say yes.

51:12 Which is different than just saying it. I'm just mentioning that to people who keep track of this. Well, instead of yes when you say right i'll say right Right? Right. Or say no... No! I won't do that So these kids and this is all over YouTube take somebody's car that's parked casually on the street a bunch of hooligans They take his car and they push it down one of the closed train station stairways. Have you seen this? No, no! It's hilarious So the car starts going down the stairways and it picks up speed And goes all the way down onto the platform into the train station

51:49 rolls over a few times and creates a big mess down there, the kids all run off. Never to be caught! Of course not! What is all this security? We're looking for terrorists they didn't look or they didn't look the part they didn't have towels on their head oh man unbelievable Well, almost as unbelievable as Munich shutting down on New Year's. On alert in Munich... What is wrong with these Germans? Two train stations were closed in the German city on New Year's Eve amid fears that militants were about to launch attacks. Police say they received very concrete information from the intelligence agency of a friendly country. Yeah let me think

52:28 Hey, BND? Yeah, January 1st. Stop it! Be afraid! Be afraid! That ISIL was planning to strike. The federal criminal police gave us specific information about possible attacks here in Munich he says It concerned the main station in Munich and Pasing Station. There was a unanimous evaluation that the information was to be taken seriously, that's why we took the appropriate security measures." Police also say that ISIL had planned to use suicide bombers in the attacks People in Munich were advised to avoid train stations and crowded areas amid the terror alert. Yeah but this is how you do it! This is how you do it

53:10 This is how you scare the bejesus out of people. It's working, it is and if you look at-if you did a google search for bomb threats actually Mimi pointed this out to me they're all over the place! It's like everywhere you go there's schools have been closed down there's one thing after another every little town has got a bomb threat by these by punks who are just somehow they've gotten onto a T1 or if their smart they've gotten on some In fact, it turned out they were discussing some of the NSA tactics of covering...you know, sucking up all these phone calls. It turns out that one report came out that they could really only access 30% of the phones in the country anyway so it's useless because you can now through Google Voice and all kinds of different ways you can find to get around the normal

54:00 Pots system the phone says I mean there's so many holes you don't want you got to wonder why why we aren't just under constant attack So these kids, I think a lot of them are just Jokers hmm or making these threats to shut down the school because they don't want to go to school Possibility exactly yeah. Yeah, I wanna go to school today. I can imagine let's both do something else well How are we gonna? Do that bill oh Ah, let me make a call. And so the school shut down and then of course they haven't caught anybody they're gonna have to create a sacrificial goat. Well we got one on New Year's Okay well they're going need to get a few more and they have to throw the book at them and scare these other kids so that they stop doing this This is going continue. These phony bomb threats are going continue throughout 2016 if something isn't done about it I don't know what you can do about it

54:52 Before me the criminal complaint against Emmanuel L. Luchman from December 25th through 30th, this is what we would call a six-week cycle event And now, it's only 11 pages. I read through the complaint—these things are published almost immediately so you can know what is going on Here is CNN's take on this guy who was planning on blowing up Times Square His name is Emmanuel Luchman He's 25 years old and what the FBI says he planned to do was carry out an attack at a restaurant in the Rochester area tonight, New Year's Eve. And he was in touch with and directed by according to the FBI an ISIS member overseas his plot was to carry out this attack using pressure cooker bombs and knives perhaps kidnap a couple of people and kill them Jim The FBI really says though that you know this guy has got a long criminal history in New York including for robbery

55:50 mental health issues. And he plotted with a couple of FBI informants, including one who was paid $19,000 and another paid $7,000 for their work helping the FBI with these cases. He recorded a video yesterday pledging allegiance to ISIS before carrying out what he planned to carry out this attack today in Rochester. So here's another one of these saps—25-year old kid, mental problems... I'm waiting for the following scenario Because I know it would, even though it wouldn't maybe be a lot of money. It would cause all kinds of problems in congressional hearings some smart cookie for a change acting stupid you know instead of the normal dummy that just goes along with anything because he's an idiot right but some smart guy gets the FBI embroiled in one of these deals where they get yeah I want to blow up the whole place I'm gonna take down that entire Empire State Building well what are you going have to do this is good we'll get you there you know

56:48 subscribe to the ISIL theory or make a pledge and soak the FBI for like, I need $20,000 man. It seems that if you're the guy who's the target, you may get like 100 bucks... No, no, you gonna have to get... If you're good grifter, you should be able to soak them, soak the government for 50K or something and then take off just disappear So the from the criminal complaint, there are not one or two but three confidential sources. These are the guys that were paid money they got you know collective almost $30,000 from the FBI for sucking this guy in over months and months and months it's so just disgusting

57:32 He's being charged with an attempt to provide material support and resources, namely himself as personnel in services to a designated foreign terrorist organization. Namely the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant ISIL knowing that ISIL was a designated foreign terrorist organization that ISIL had engaged in and was engaging in terrorist activity and terrorism now this is what we were all talking about and warning about many years ago, that these the change of definition of terror and we saw that earlier with the guys who were being thrown in jail for five years because they're now terrorists. So you're a terrorist if you even have intent! Intent? So this... let's see here we go. Emmanuel L. Luchman, 25-year old United States citizen was a kid younger than my kids is a moron these kids are still morons. They're not full human beings yet

58:23 who currently resides in Rochester, New York. He's a self-professed Muslim convert with a criminal history dating back to approximately 2006 which includes a New York state conviction for robbery and for which he served approximately five years in prison as well as previous state mental hygiene arrests." What? Yeah! Did you look that up? Yeah there are mental hygiene laws... uh didn't this come up I don't remember us talking about mental hygiene laws. Not the law, but we...I think we even made a joke about how's your mental hygiene? Well it turns out there is quite a number of mental hygiene laws! And if you're not considered to be...this is how you get 5150, thrown in the loony bin against your will

59:08 Onward, his plot to kill a civilian. In November and December 2015 Lutschmann had several electronic and telephonic communications with Confidential Source One in these communications Lutschman made numerous statements expressing his strong support of ISIL so that is right there you're in violation. In late December he told CS Confidential Source he'd been in contact with overseas individual who identified himself as ISIL member who knows what they was talking too On or about the 25th or 26 of December he communicated with the overseas individual who identified himself as a brother with ISIL. In those communications Luckman asked what it was like in ISIL and the guy, this is where he starts to get radicalized his dream came come true You know if you can't come over here... ...you got to prove yourself by blowing something up over there and then these sources... Alright here we is

1:00:02 So he needed to get ready to blow something up and he talks to confidential source three And he says, well let's go get some stuff. You know you could use a knife this is what they said to him. Use a knife or maybe your pressure cooker bomb that's what they're saying to him. To him! Yeah and he said... They're selling them on the idea Well even better he didn't have enough money so they went to Walmart store on Hudson Avenue in Rochester to purchase supplies two black ski masks zip ties 2 knives machete duct tape ammonia latex gloves Due to the fact that they got through, they got that through the line. Well then and that's interesting you bring that up who have nothing really to live for and they say why don't you go out with a bang quite literally? The other point I have to make is this- Wait wait hold on stop! They told him he've got nothing to live for?! No but not according to the criminal complaint but they did say if you want to... They do not say blow yourself up so if you could prove yourself Then you'll be welcome

1:01:01 uh... in the islamic state headquarters who have nothing really to live for and they say why don't you go out with a bang quite literally the other point i have to make it is this evan mentioned that these guys including one fbi informant managed to buy, I wrote this down because its extraordinary two black ski masks zip ties two knives machete duct tape ammonia and latex gloves and they got away with at walmart whoever runs that walmart in rochester should be fired What kind of an imbecile cashier allows two men to buy this kind of equipment so close? I know why. These guys are smart! They chose the black checker

1:01:40 It's too busy getting them out of there. Fast and efficient! Blasting through the machine, they're out in two seconds. That is a callback to a previous episode. Yeah. Juggers are fast. Anyway then they recorded a video and you know so the confidential source paid for all this stuff and then they arrest the guy They could have waited longer. I think they should've built some bombs. Actually, glad to see that the FBI is staying on this theme because no one has busted their chops for doing it in Congress and says stop this bull crap!

1:02:15 You find some moron on the street and then talking him into doing something like this, and paying for the whole thing while coaching him. This is not a guy that should normally be...shouldn't be doing this." I think the point where he wants to go buy materials or he's coerced into buying materials- You don't know how much they guys say, well, I don't think this is a good idea. Well, I don't think this is a good idea. That's never brought out. The guy may have been reluctant the whole time but he's one of those guys you can sell on anything. You get a good salesman in front of anybody Anybody, and they can sell. That's what sales is all about." I mean this guy needed to be picked up and he needed his mental hygiene checked because who in their right mind is an idiot like this? He's an idiot! There are bunches of these people out there... Yeah yeah And you know they should have just stopped this kid Stop him Just sit him down and say no What's your problem Let's look at your problems So a form of six-week cycle

1:03:16 Yeah, kind of. It's like the old throw I think this is just for old time sake Just to ring out the new year keep the keys You know the department going yeah hey that a budget is gonna be killed on our Department What do we got? Hey who are paying out there this confidential source We paid him 20 grand it tell them they go get somebody how about this clown It's unbelievable. And they could target some poor sap! Well, yeah they do that's what... Yeah I mean somebody that you don't like like a like uh somebody is uh you know stirring things up in some small community and trying to make things better maybe fight poverty target him yeah as great yeah So it's kind of the you know this year the same as last year well That's good for the show and with that i would like to thank you for your courage and say In The Morning Q John C

1:04:13 Well, in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry In the morning all boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water All the dames and knights out there in the morning everybody in the chat room welcome to 2016 Thank you very much for tuning into no agenda stream calm thank you to PewDiePie We have kind of a Nick the rat PewDiePie thing going on with the artwork PewDiePie really had a good one though And this of course because he got his mind back on doing art instead of just slamming slamming or nick exactly This is for the episode Come Together and he did the small batch edition with salt, which was it was the best piece. Yeah I loved it. Noagendargenerator.com please do whatever you can that it's a great way to help the show if you have talent Well even if you don't have talent you have good ideas some of the good ideas are just great You know what you get well you'd have to have talent I think little talent would hurt

1:05:06 or at least desire. Well, let's start off by thanking executive producers and associate executive producer we have one two three four executive producers and one two three four it's a perfect balance. Outstanding! Starting with the big one though Jeanette Hill in Dayton Texas 1154 she becomes an instant night. Wow, insta-dame? She has she becomes the first dame of 2016 mm-hmm there you go And does she have a note? Yeah, she sent one in. In advance of the whole thing. Let me see if I can find it... Here it is. It's Jeanette's... Well, this part's unknown but I guess I blew that up. Actually that may just be where the bank is because this came in as one of those bank checks Oh! The ones that the bank sends out electronically. Yeah. Printed yeah cool A long time fan of JCD's writings etc so when I was looking for podcasts over Thanksgiving weekend and she's new

1:06:06 No agenda was a natural to try. This is what I like, someone who's been listening for a month and she's coughed up...like become an incident dame. That's fantastic. As someone who spends free time double-checking MSM information that just doesn't seem right, no agenda is a blessing. I've learned so much in a short time. I'm so pleased with Adam Staunch support of the Constitution of the United States reminding both holders it is their job to uphold. which is a your bit. Yeah, well like the president and elected officials who think they forget this yes as I listen to back episodes i'm already hitting people in the mouth to help educate as many slaves as possible an effort to help them earn their freedom. Yes! I believe it's important to set an example of there's a Texan yeah of course no doubt about love it

1:06:55 I believe it's important to extend an example for paying for products used especially when solely supported by the listeners. Therefore, paying it forward as they figured each episode's proceeds are divided between the two of you and then as independent employees, you pay both halves of social insecurity to the IRS." It gets a half of that leaving you with at least about a quarter of income to live on. And Matt is about right. Also, I'm sending a check so PayPal won't reduce the amount even more and then she goes on with a long A long list of where this and that goes 888 999 What good before 5-1 to JCD's favors are much you got a whole list of she's given every kind of?

Amen. Fist bump. So have you heard about the greatest achievement? America's greatest achievement 2015

1:20:50 No, I must have missed it. Oh well here just play the clip and then we'll discuss it The US State Department's also been in a bit of a reflective mood taking a look at the past year And to the surprise of many not least Syrians It outlined bringing peace and security to Syria as one of America's greatest achievements Wait a minute! You missed that one Hold on hold on, bend over more You were ready for that weren't you? Oh man. No, not really. Come on! That's great what hubris Hey those of you drowning off the coasts of Greece enjoy your peace Wow Apologies. I looked into it and it was like Kirby or something. Apologies for being such a-holes Did we have Kirby actually saying that? I wish I did. It is written all over the place but I don't have a clue about this. That is grand oh my goodness

1:21:46 Well, I think it's a great achievement. I'm very proud of the work we've done! We know how to do things right... We sure do. So what we had expected—we even did a little skit about it—we were fully expecting the lie that Hillary Clinton told that ISIS was using Donald Trump in recruitment videos Of course none of those could be found a quick reminder liar. She's the pathological liars. Oh, she's alive I wanted to play have two clips archives Here's the clip that you played in regard to the lie together You are not our adversary you are our partner and we also need to make sure that the really discriminatory Messages that Trump is sending around the world don't fall

1:22:32 on receptive ears. He is becoming ISIS's best recruiter, they are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists so I want to explain why this is not in America's interest to react with this kind of fear and respond to this sort of bigotry." And then we have the spokesperson for the Clinton campaign, this is the woman who we joked about. I just clipped a little bit... And I heard something new that happens so often when you listen to something a couple times, you might pass over it. We were probably laughing through this thing—this is the woman who was hyperventilating trying to cover up this blatant lie that her boss made and she brings up Rita Katz of the site intelligence group who, of course already had this—they didn't but we knew they would come up with it. But I heard something new in this bit. You know what Secretary Clinton was saying last night? It's one of many dangerous things about Donald Trump

1:23:29 is that his hot rhetoric, saying we should not allow Muslim refugees into the country is being used and this is something that the CITE International group has who monitors social media on ISIS. But there have been no videos? Well what they have said is that they are using him he's being used in social media by ISIS as propaganda She didn't have a particular video in mind, but he's being used in social media. Okay so that the last part I hadn't caught first of all pay attention to the tense Hillary Clinton says you know it's uh It's happening now its present tense she says site intelligence group That's what they do at the listen to the end She keeps saying they do this they lose and the very end she says well she said listen to her very careful media by Isis as propaganda

1:24:19 She didn't have a particular video in mind, but he's being used in social media. She didn't have a particular video in mind? I missed that the first time! So they had already spoken to Rita Katz... she doesn't have- No, I thought she meant Hillary when she said SHE Ah no if you listen maybe and I thought in context she was talking about the site intelligence group. No. Oh let's listen to the last 20 seconds again. I have a feeling And on Isis has said there have been no videos. Well what they have said is that they are using him They he's being used in so she said site intelligence group mom back it up. She never said sighting yes, you did Yes, she didn't know not nothing here and I says yeah back it up more crap. Oh here we go

1:25:02 It's being used and this is something that the site international... There she says site, right? You heard it. ...group has who monitors social media on ISIS has said there have been no videos Well what they have said is that they are using him So they, that's site He is being used in social media by ISIS as propaganda She didn't have a particular video in mind, but he's being used in social media. Yeah so it was they and then she? Maybe maybe yeah the way it came across to me initially was that it was just on about Hillary didn't have a particular video But you're right I think the references are all site site site And then she has to be a reference of somebody inside thus It was Rita Katz

1:25:44 A video comes out, lo and behold. An insanely dumb thing... Oh my god! They just hacked an existing video and threw in that piece about Donald Trump. Yeah. They just did a re-edit. They didn't have time to do more By the way, video takes a long time. We've said that and talked about this before but they had enough time to do something good! They did I don't know why they didn't Well i love the news coverage remember present tense they're using Trump This is ABC Good morning America breaking overnight Donald Trump starring in a new terrorist recruitment video Starring? Just-I love this he's starring it no he's not starring in it He's jacked in with one line Donald J Trump is calling for a total

1:26:27 and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States. And I found, it's in the show notes... The original video which is uh what is it called? It's uh it's called the uh no I can't remember it's in the show notes you can see because it goes from Anwar al-Awlaki who's speaking and then just continues But in the new video, it goes from Anwar al-Awlaki to Trump and then it continues. It is... I have the original video! They spliced it in these lying sacks! Hillary Clinton may have actually been right. They are going to people's... Huh?

1:27:04 They might have been right. Bullcrap! So now they're saying she predicted it instead of she said it was already happening ABC is example after example of this. The United States... Does this mean Hillary Clinton may have actually been right? Going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims This is the first known instance of extremists using Trump's language to attract followers, although not by ISIS as Hillary Clinton predicted. He is becoming ISIS' best recruiter! The Democratic frontrunner ignited a war of words with... What? This is interesting what they've done They have changed her discussion from he does-he did this in those videos To-to they changed it to predict it

1:27:58 To make it soften the blow because she didn't say it, she just predicted. They're lying! It's unconscionable almost. She didn't predict anything they never call her out and where is Trump saying anything anti-Muslim? Well he didn't say that he said this... They've created ISIS Hillary Clinton created ISIS with Obama That'll do well in the general election. Let me finish up the ABC report. Clinton predicted he is becoming ISIS's best recruiter The Democratic frontrunner ignited a war of words with Trump when she warned that his rhetoric would become recruiting fodder They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order recruit more radical jihadists

1:28:51 Now, there's a whole bunch of things coming together with this. I think the plan is to do an all-out... we'll pull it all into one bundle as now we have... hmmm.... This is also ABC. They're really they're pulling out all the stops. I think ABC's given up on their support of Jeb Bush and they are going with Hillary, yeah Also breaking tonight a terror group revealing its new propaganda video featuring Donald Trump using his call to ban Muslims from entering the US as a recruitment tool The very issue brought up during the last Democratic debate ABC senior national correspondent Jim Avila Now just so you know this is a slight variant but there this came after the first where you know Hillary Clinton predicted

1:29:35 did this would happen. Now there's a variation. of Muslims entering the United States. The video is titled, The Pass to Paradise and encourages African Americans in the US to convert to Islam. There! This is new... We're bringing that in again. And join the jihad. Trump's words are sandwiched between the recorded words of the U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki who was killed in a U.S. drone strike four years ago

1:30:23 He says the West will eventually turn on its Muslim citizens and seems to use Trump's words to support his premise Hillary Clinton said ISIS would produce video. Would produce video, would produce video No she said they have produced videos Using Trump's Muslim travel ban as a recruiting tool But until tonight there had been no evidence of anything even close to that Jim Avila ABC News traveling with... She never said that. No, no. That is just a false report from ABC of false report and they're bringing in the Black Lives Matter thing and oh yeah this is a false report. Here's an interesting thing too this is uh I believe where did this come from? This came off of MSNBC...I think yeah I'm pretty sure And this was a little kind of related this is Howard Dean Oh! I have this clip oh my god

1:31:19 Well, Howard Dean coming on. I can't believe you stole this was gonna be my clip of the day Oh it's good This was gonna be my clip of the day but I already got a clip of the day then let me play the clip You can play your clip because I just thought, I was just jaw-dropped that anyone would say this. This is... well we know it's true Howard Dean ran for president he got screwed up they took him out and now he runs a big dude in the party right? Yeah he was the head of the party for awhile and now he's just a blowhard Well he's a blowhard and tells the truth

1:31:58 It is going to be very interesting, Howard Dean, to see how Bill Clinton handles Donald Trump on the trail. What can we expect? I would say that Donald Trump has finally met more than his match. Bill Clinton's the best politician in this country probably the best politician we've seen in this country since Franklin Roosevelt And he's not going to respond to Donald Trump. Donald Trump is really good at what he does, his skills don't compare to Bill Clinton's skills so I think he's just helping us by criticizing Bill Clinton. He'll come up with a couple of great one-liners that will put him down and this is like Newt Gingrich complaining about being in the back of the plane completely undid the whole Republican attack

1:32:40 on Clinton in 1996 or whatever it was, you just don't mess with Bill Clinton. You're going to be finding yourself six feet under before you know your name." It's almost too delicious to believe my friend! That's right everyone knows it. Don't mess with Bill. Yeah give him six feet under. I love that. I can't believe this guy. He said it yeah well he's an idiot The good thing about all of this is that the video did not come from ISIL. It came from Al-Shabaab, and the reason I like it is because it gives me an excuse to play the jingle. Meanwhile... Hillary... Hillary abusing children once again! She abused a young boy for her messaging in a recent stand up, and she did it again?

1:33:39 Brought a kid on stage and this is so prep the kid is reading off a cue card Standing right next to her reading the card when you become president What is your plan to connect mental health? Problems and guns to make sure that me my brothers and my friends are safe from violent at school. I'm gonna do everything I can do You believe that? That's terrible. Terrorize this child, yeah terrorize the child and scare the kids who think something is going to happen at a school how many schools have been attacked ever well probably half dozen or six How many schools are in this country um 100 000 I think it's 80 okay close to it It's a lot of schools Yeah people don't do...I mean again

1:34:31 This is like nothing new. This has happened ever since I was a kid, these sorts of events and now it's all you know let's scare everybody to death because we can't scare them about the atom bomb although if we keep going with our attitude with the Russians that it's possible get that back into play gotta be fun yeah sell some bomb shelters When I was a kid, people had bomb shelters. They built these bomb shelters. There's still...I think in the suburbs of most of America you will find homes that also have a bomb shelter built in the backyard and the bomb shelters are usually used for like kind of expanded pantries or something that keeps you...I suppose if you listen to The Seed Guy, you probably keep your seeds down there. Yeah.

1:35:18 uh... we had a guy in our neighborhood and had a bombshell to the kids are get the visit he's like it was like to give tours Hey, wanna come to my bomb shelter kids? A lot of these bomb shelters I have Kool-Aid. I'm remembering some of this where they would dig the big hole in the backyard instead of putting a pool in and then they drop in what appeared to be a giant gasoline tank Yeah! I remember that. Made by the same guys who made gasoline tanks for gas stations And the gasoline tank was outfitted with some ports that would come up through the ground So you can get fresh air Good times So now we have this, you know the media is just loving everything that's happening around Donald Trump saying he's going to spend more money. And of course we all love the Trump versus Bill Clinton brouhaha that is going down

1:36:09 But when you listen to CNN, they think Bill Clinton's poop don't stink. What will be interesting Errol is when we see Bill Clinton out of the campaign trail next week in New Hampshire does bill clinton address any get within a million miles of any of this? Well if you put your finger on exactly what is going on here is Donald Trump wants to take Bill Clinton out of the equation once do either embarrass him or otherwise frighten him off the campaign trail unlikely to happen But that is the strategy, to sort of get him out of the picture so that he can go after Hillary Clinton without her biggest booster one of the most popular Democrats in the country. I don't think that's going to happen but you know after what we've seen with Bill Cosby and with old accusations there are about 14 women who could be said to have made claims at one time or another Is that right? Fourteen? Well if you look through those right wing websites and radio crowds

1:37:00 14 that's not positive 14. Yeah, it's not possible It's a lot more than 14 I can promise you that nice fabric And there was a good conversation on Fox, conversation about Trump's ad spend which I thought was worth sharing. Billionaire Donald Trump is expected to next week launch a major ad campaign costing upwards of two million dollars per week so how will this ad blitz shape the race in 2016? two million dollars a week, hasn't Donald Trump been bragging about the fact that he's gotten so much coverage from the media. He hasn't had to spend any money on ads, so why now? Well right! Why should he start spending money now when he has gotten all of this advertising for free?! It's been all Trump

1:37:52 all the time, just about 70 to 80% of the coverage. I mean he has played the media like a Stradivarius. Why should we start investing in ads now? Won't that be as Donald Trump himself said too much Trump too much from honestly i don't think he's going to because of the judges right he doesn't have to this he he he is playing the press like a fiddle he's playing all of you off like a fellow gotta say this he says his because it's going to be nonstop coverage just in sex him saying that he's gonna spend money on advertising up for politician to say that that's like a reporter saying i'm gonna write a story there's no they're there to that statement everybody does that

1:38:34 I think he's right. Yes, but everybody picked it up! Yeah? They can't self-analyze their own stupid stories. It's genius. That's great. I love it. Alright well let's take a little entremonte. I got an entremonte. Okay In other words has nothing to do with anything just kind of interesting yeah and something the chef prepared for us. Because I've seen this building in Oakland for years and didn't know anything about Always thought it was kind of a funny name for a college, but play the Oakster damn clip. Ah yes, Oakster Damn University was first founded in 2007 here in Oakland California Since then nearly 25,000 students have crossed through our doors to learn everything about cannabis growing Cannabis policy and how to change the law and their neck at the woods Being a student here at Oaks Dam University is like being a student anywhere else

1:39:28 We read we study. We have midterms homework It's a lot of work, but it's a lot of fun, Oaks, or damn University America's first cannabis college Can I get a student loan for that he was like an ad on see and I think Al Jazeera Or CNN one Oh fantastic in it sure I think in Oregon now the they're starting the new year 25% tax on marijuana sales That's a good deal Well, yeah. That's a great deal you know Oregon is finding their way I mean Colorado they should ever just copy what they did they did it They did a fine job of it worked out well Yeah Let's see what I have oh yeah if we have hams in New York City I found something pretty cool on one of the ham bulletin boards amateur radio operators It turns out

1:40:23 that the IFBs in New York City, so what they use in the studio. We have a little earpiece that's your... Is it called internal foldback I think is the breed? Something like this. It has some crazy name like that. Right and the idea is you hear the control room, you hear whatever else you need to hear but not necessarily your own voice I don't think. But these are wireless most of them and I have a list of 15 frequencies And if you're, I mean it's all in the 70 meter...70 centimeters so like 450 megahertz. You can within a probably within half a mile you can just go near the studios and record these things are open live all the time. Ooh would be nice to record a few of those! Yes this is my thinking or maybe someone could set it up on Broadcastify Just get a If your'e in the area just put a receiver up and then stream it on the web that thing would be fantastic

1:41:21 That'd be great. And unencrypted? Yeah, why was it encrypted? For the very reason that we're gonna send ham radio guys to go record the horrible things that are being said! Now that you mention it but... You're not thinking that way when you setting up shop No I thought it was pretty good. Yeah I love to hear the IFB on some of these people. Wouldn't it be great?! Cut him off cut him off get them out of here get him out right now So there's a number of interesting things going on internationally that we need to at least be aware of. Yes, good what do we got? Let's start with Taiwan apparently the Taiwanese are about to elect as their new president the new Honshou a woman and this is actually becoming disconcerting for the Chinese They don't like women running things Well they don't like this one Okay Hit it

1:42:14 Well, the reason why I think there's so much interest in these elections—the sixth since Taiwan became a democracy 20 years ago—is that for the first time in a Taiwanese presidential election, a woman is the clear front-runner. She is Tsai Ing-wen, 59 years old, single and leader of the independence leaning Democratic Progressive Party, which is why China is watching these elections so closely. If she wins in two weeks' time she would become Taiwan's first female president as well as the first female president in a Chinese society She has said that she wants good relations with China but worries that Taiwan is becoming too economically dependent on Beijing

1:42:57 In Saturday's debate, one of her rivals said she was becoming an isolationist and was taking Taiwan down the road to uncertainty. But most commentators believe that she won Saturday's debate. Opinion polls give her a commanding lead over her two main rival candidates but 25% of voters also remain undecided which means the election could still be a very close one. And then what will happen? What will happen. So that's a big deal Yeah, what do you think will happen I think she's gonna win and then they're gonna have to sweet talk her to be nice to her because You know the Chinese have been irked about this Taiwan thing but and the one thing they don't want is Taiwan to declare complete independency Would would you mind giving us a little detail on Taiwan these are things that never come up again

1:43:53 when discussing it. I'd love to know what is the problem? During the communist revolution, just to shorten it up during the communist revolution there were two forces fighting Shanghai Czechs nationalists and the communists led by Mao Zedong. The communists were winning and they drove Shanghai Czech and his army off the mainland and they all went place, it was called the Garden Island and they... Taiwan. And they went there and set up shop as an independent, as China actually in the Republic of China and became kind of an outcast that was never recognized as a standalone country by technically by the United Nations I don't believe they're maybe they're in the United Nations but last time I looked they weren't

1:44:49 But it's a big deal that they're still kind of connected, little bit to China. It was always the Chinese were fearful that the Chiang Kai-shek was going to reorganize and then reattack the mainland and take it over, to the point where if you go visit China, if you get along the coastline especially in the Xiamen area and some of these other places somebody knows what they're doing. They'll show you these little gun turrets and all this old stuff from the 40s that's set up along the Chinese coast to prevent the Taiwan, not the Taiwanese but the Republic of China going back and taking over the country. It's kind of amusing now." When I was growing up everything I owned came from either Taiwan or Pakistan

1:45:34 And made in Taiwan was like the big joke at a certain point in my youth. Do they make anything anymore in Taiwan? Well, they own many of the companies that make a lot of stuff that we buy but it's now all made in China This is what this woman's trying to do then the Taiwanese have largely Made amends with the manufacturing people in China China, in the mainland and most of the stuff like Acer for example is a Taiwanese company. But all that stuff's made in China and they bring it through...they ship it through Taiwan and it's just kind of up...it's a screwball situation and the Chinese want to resolve in such a way with the same way was resolved in Hong Kong where you

1:46:14 where you have two systems, one government or whatever they're called. They have some name for it and they have a big giant billboard. A scam is what it's called! They have this huge billboard off the coast of China which I've seen It's this huge, giant letters that...I don't know. It was about 10-15 stories high and says two systems one nation I think or something like that, three systems one nation depending on where they count Hong Kong into this. And it's right on the coast so if you're in Taiwan they light it up at night, you can see it with binoculars And it's a tourist attraction for the Chinese. They all stand by and take pictures, Instagram pictures of the sign behind them when they're standing in front of it. You've learned this from Instagram? For a long time. Yeah. We had this during the 60s with this problem with Kamoi and Matsu I think were two islands there was one was China and one was Taiwan and there was... The Kennedy administration always have to deal with these gonna start World War III over these two stupid islands

1:47:15 It's been going on forever. This woman is gonna bring it to a head now do we? Protect Taiwan, is that one of our jobs supposed to huh? We're supposed to protect Taiwan, but everyone wonders if we actually would. Let's see arms sales Taiwan let's see what the most recent... Well we definitely sell stuff to them that's for sure. November 25th US preparing new arms sales to Taiwan I guess they were all set up 1.83 billion dollars going to Taiwan Yeah so they're still worried Uh, the Chinese military. And we do our best to keep them worried? Oh I said the Obama administration since coming to power as Bloomberg states it has sold approximately how many billions worth of equipment to military equipment in Taiwan do you think in the past eight years 10 12 $12 billion dollars worth of stuff what do we have amphibious assault vehicles Apache helicopter who needs that stinger missiles please

1:48:18 Hmm. Ah, okay so they're trying to sell F-16 fighter planes well that's good So we should see the media start to ratchet up the scare tactics so that you know We can do another oh yes Let's sell some more we can free up any reports about this woman yet in the US press no and if she gets in and then some Some there'll be something going on it will it'll be reported as a threat to world security Yes, it'll be a good news story on ABC. You watch it will be coming out. Oh we don't know what to do the Chinese are very upset And then they have the opposite message, which is first female. Because we got all these female leaders around the world and every time one crops up out of the blue... First time in China! It's too bad we haven't... it's astonishing that Chinese cultures had their first female elected president or whatever she is and we still haven't had that in the United States. We must have a female to promote Hillary so let's say ABC again. That's my prediction.

1:49:17 I mean, of course they never mentioned the Empress...the evil Empress Wu who ran China. There's been plenty of Empresses. That's because no one is taught history anymore as far as i'm concerned like the Ottoman Empire Like no one knows what..no one keeps an eye on what's going on over there except your No Agenda show Well, not as you mention it. I do have the Erdoğan comparing himself to Hitler! Yes this is a very good clip! Turkey's leader has defended his push for greater executive powers by using Nazi Germany as an example of effective presidential systems When we look at other countries, we see that it is possible. You can see this when you look at Hitler's Germany and other countries. Hell yeah! Government officials then defended President Erdogan's words insisting he was actually attempting to highlight Nazi Germany as an example of what can go wrong The Turkish leader believes the ceremonial role of the president should be changed to be more like a chief executive That's it A system that other countries currently have

1:50:16 Turkey's president is no stranger to controversial statements, of course. Last year he said that foreigners like seeing Turkish children die He insisted equality between men and women goes against nature That social media is the worst menace to society And Ed Lanz publicly said he doesn't care what the international community thinks about his actions So this is obviously a hit job The origin, I found it in the Guardian is where this was that. I trace it back to there of this, you know, and I'm pretty sure that he didn't say oh Hitler was good so it's a hit job

1:50:52 It's a hijab. Yeah, of course it is a hijab who is orchestrating it not the Guardian. Well the Guardian a little bit because they're socialist but its the Russians Yes They are going after him Watching Russia today it's like half the news is about Turkey Here's... I got a clip To Turkey now and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Turkey must accept that it needs Israel The two countries are seeking to normalize ties. This is an interesting move that's going on here, pay attention Turkey was a key regional ally of Israel until the deadly storming by Israeli commandos in 2010 of a Turkish aid ship bound for Gaza Our Ankara correspondent Jasper Mortimer describes the moves towards rapprochement

1:51:33 Yeah, oil. Yeah! To build the oil rigs? These guys are unbelievable The Turks are just, or let's just say Erdogan. Unbelievable! Yeah but we're in on it with them Well of course we are And I think the ISIS thing which has been exposed by the Russians again Which comes down to self There is 10 guys left or something It's like there is no one left

1:52:15 This is the Turkey-ISIS Kurds clip. And this is like a rundown of what's going on with who's bombing who. Despite the fact that NATO was heavily involved in the fight against ISIS, A report from Norwegian foreign ministry reveals a secret that Turkey, a NATO country, is buying oil from terrorists Secret held documents reveal that most of the oil that ISIS has smuggled out of Syria and Iraq has ended up in Turkey. Basically, Turkey has... has a higher priority in the conflict in Syria at the moment. And that's to prevent Kurdish autonomy in the region because it fears that could lead to separatist movements within Turkey, so ISIL becomes second in Syria at the moment I think as long as it seems to Turkey that the result of defeating ISIS will be strengthening the Kurdish forces in Syria then thats going to be a bigger problem for them than ISIS

1:53:13 Yeah, because and then if you play this, this is the Russians again. Turks training ISIS part one or I'm sorry that's it. Sorry adding to the claims of Turkey's links to Islamic State how the jihadists themselves this week a captured terrorist alleged that ISIL uses camps in Turkey to train recruits. RT obtained interview footage with the captive from the Sputnik Turkey news agency Abdulrahman Abdulhadi is a 20-year old militant who says he's been in the ranks of ISIL since 2013. He claims he has been mostly fighting against the Syrian army, but was captured in November by Kurdish forces and is currently being held in prison. Abdulhadi says that he was trained by ISIL in Turkey and spoke in detail about the experience

1:54:01 In August 2014 I was training in the Turkish town of Aden with one of ISIL's emirs. There were 60 of us in a village not far from the airport. Media reported that we were training in the Free Syrian Army camps, but in fact all sixty of those who were there were ISIL members. training drills. Once a week we had shooting classes where we were taught to use Kalashnikovs, machine guns and other weapons. We had two instructors one of them was from the military he spoke only Turkish so another one had to translate for him. We were trained in Turkey because ISIL's commanders thought it was safer there than in Syria because of the bombardments there

1:54:39 As for Ankara's position, it states that it trains only Syrian rebels that are fighting against Islamic State and strongly denies allegations that it aids any terrorist group. But the captured jihadists claims the recruits moved freely inside Turkey and across the border Now, we've talked about how the U.S has warmed up to Turkey and has been buddy-buddy with this character for some time. If the basic thesis that we own which is ISIS-ISIL is run by the CIA and the State Department two different groups as you pointed out, this would make nothing but sense if they'd be doing the training in Turkey. And this is one of the reasons that we're so...

1:55:18 Chummy with the church with the Turks under these circumstances, which is pretty anti-american And he wants to be Hitler his pro caliphate I'd say yes Well of course because the Turks think they can become the center of the Caliphate well so they were during when Constantinople was in business. So what this comes down to is the NATO issue and Let me see I think I have a clip here Yes. So NATO is a problem for Russia because of course, you know so Turkey member of NATO shoots down a jet. You know what's rushing going to do if they if they seriously went and attacked a NATO country we know Article 5 comes into play and it's pretty much all over but

1:56:07 There is some real reason for the Russians to be afraid, of course this deals mainly with Ukraine but it all comes into the same thing of how they cannot deal with Turkey. And the reporting that has come out about Ukraine and Putin declaring NATO a threat It has to do with something else that happened on January 1st. And a stunning new security strategy in Russia, which is now declaring NATO a threat. President Vladimir Putin endorsing the plan last night it says NATO's military buildup threatens his country's national security. There are a couple of points to come out of this document which is an official document that Russia has to update every six years. It was last updated in 2009 so time was ripe

1:56:55 for this new description essentially of the threats to the Russian state as the Kremlin sees it. It says that it sees the expansion of NATO, the Western Military Alliance, as a major threat to Russia's national interests and also says that because of Russia's what it calls independent domestic and foreign policy, which has triggered a counteraction from the United States and its allies. And so I think the reference there is to the fact that Russia has engaged in military activities in Ukraine. It's engaged in Syria as well carrying out air strikes against ISIS and other rebel groups in support of Bashar al-Assad and his allies.

1:57:35 And that's angered somewhat the United States specifically, but also NATO countries in general. So this is a formal document essentially which says look NATO is a threat to Russia's national interests but it doesn't necessarily represent a big shift in the thinking of Russia Russia and Putin in particular has been describing NATO as a strategic threat to Russia for some years now. And indeed, that threat has come to a head over the conflict in Ukraine where Russia is essentially deployed military forces although it denies this to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO and other Western institutions so wants to prevent the spread and expansion of further expansion of NATO and its made that our priority in terms of national security

1:58:19 So the way I understand it, we the West made a promise to Russia. We said not an inch east now the Russians say that the West promised we would never expand NATO or expand any of our unions as of January 1st the Ukraine European Union Association agreement is in effect So they are now effectively trading, they have a free flow of any kind of materiel going back and forth. This is absent from all reporting, but it goes against some promise we made

1:59:01 Yeah, we discussed it. We had a tape of this promise. This promise...the way the promise goes with the neocons... It was the reunification of Germany right? Yeah! That was the deal and it was one of our heads of something, a state department supposedly sanctioned by the president but the way the neocons look at this they say well yeah we did say that but it's not in writing. We're Indian givers So it's not in writing. We did that, we pulled the old it's not in writing thing which is something we do that no other country does because you know what's not in writing and dust out of writing where let me see the paper so since it was not in writing we can do whatever we want with a new guy comes along this is because our policy has always changed from president to president yeah and And we have this the neocons which have pretty much taken over the place

1:59:52 including the Obama administration and they were warmongers, and they want to blow everything up so that Americans can rebuild everything. It'd be a great boom economy rebuilding all the rubble-izing that we've done." And it is so form of marketing! Yeah... Are you guys on like a hiatus from The Dvorak Horowitz Unplugged show? About two weeks yeah. I miss it. I miss my financial news Oh, well. It'll be something on Tuesday." Because it's getting bad here you can even see in Austin stores and empty storefronts La Vie restaurant just closed which had only been open for two years. Yeah they closed! Now they lost their chef though. Well the chef she left about a year ago. Why did she leave? I read that little story about it nobody says why...

2:00:41 entirely sure, but I do know the entire business general manager executive chef everything was all women and that was supposed to be one of the big appeals. And then the executive chef she took a leave of absence and never came back. We went there maybe six weeks ago Yeah. And you know, it's still operating full steam but I... Was it as good without her? No and I actually said what happened to uh they were very unclear um but there's something else... She took the sommelier with her Probably But there's something else that I'm noticing that kind of shows

2:01:23 I know, and I don't like it but it's part of what is happening with the economy. Retailers...for my eyeglasses, I have to go get my glasses fixed so that means an appointment for January 4th. I went in there, talked to the lady she saw me put it on my phone everything. It doesn't matter whether its that or if you make a reservation at a restaurant then I do through open table this is what happens every single time You get them calling up, and of course I don't answer the phone. It's like a 512 number. I don't know who that is. I'm not gonna answer it. Goes to voicemail. Uh hi yeah we have reservations for tonight at 715. We just want to make sure that you're going to come and uh...you do have to call us back so we can keep your table When did this happen?

2:02:09 This started about 10 or more years ago in San Francisco and New York and some other places that have extremely high-end restaurants with a limited number of tables. And they went open... These are just regular tables, man! This is not... these restaurants are not like crazy you know? They got... Well this I'm telling how it started. Alright It was these places and they had..and it was so expensive to eat there that they couldn't take a chance on people stiffing them And so that happened, there's this recall the call you back thing was the first part of it. The second part of it which you haven't experienced yet but which is coming everywhere is they make you put a deposit

2:02:50 Yeah, down to now that happened for our New Year's dinner and I was okay with that. I get that I get that Well there are places in San Francisco that make you give them a deposit For any day of the week sure It like it's not not a low-end deposit either so few hundred dollars So if you don't show up too bad And this is all margin issues, it seems to me. They're not organized correctly. But it's economic issues then? Yeah margins yeah but for the ophthalmologist you know like do you have to call me back that doesn't make sense come on please and I was made the appointment in person well there could be something else going on at certain communities yours might be one of them

2:03:31 People just stiffen these businesses left and right. Make a bunch of appointments, this is like car rentals. You can make a car rental appointment you don't wanna get a car out of Seattle and you call up, you just tell them and they put ya on the list, you go in there and get your stuff. You don't have to give em' a credit card. There's not a car rental place that asks for a credit card so you can stiff the car rental places once you get through the airport. Say whoa they got better deal over at budget I'll go over there. I think this is a short-term thing, but it's... Well, I see nothing but opportunity in Austin. For what? Uh for a new restaurant!

2:04:07 They got a bunch of restaurants. I was reading that they're closing no bunch of we got have if i have A formula for Austin that will be killer Okay, I'm all ears guns and bugs Guns in open carry never just being a joker Open carry all you want in our restaurant and having a team bug and we serve bugs it's gonna happen You identified this very early on well be eating bugs All right okay onward What else we got on the list here? Cool stuff that's going on. But let's get a catch up, this is not being covered by US news at all... Let's play the Corsica clip. Corsica as in Corsica off the Isle of Greece? No no no, Corsica is... Where's Corsica? Spain! Spain! Spain! It's between France and Italy

2:05:01 Yeah, that's what I meant. Now calls for independence are getting louder on the French island of Corsica where the nationalist separatist party has become the main political force following regional elections More from the island now with RTs Daniel Bushel Pro-independence passions here are strong but also focused in working class neighborhoods like this one. Block after block announcing planned protests for Amnesty, a Corsican for amnesty It's an organized movement to free dozens of people some Corsicans call political prisoners But France has jailed for terrorism and even assassination of top officials Is that like the French Gitmo?

2:05:45 No, of course it is not the French Gitmo. It's its own...it used to be a kind of his own country they have their own language and this part of this giant movement around the world that you know it's kind of breaking off, you got your own language, you got your own culture and you get some French guys telling you what to do yeah it's like there's no no and this is what the Turks are afraid with the Kurds though I take it a little too seriously and this is happening everywhere Everywhere. See it in the Philippines with the Muslim community there, it wants to become its own country So this is like a major trend happening all over the place And do you and...is this just the people who are doing this? The people just want to be..want to separate No, there's troublemakers behind it obviously Yeah

2:06:28 But there's a lot of these troublemakers, and they're all over the place. I mean here we have...remember on our show we discussed because our economic hitmen warned us about Mali? And now there is this battle going on between Mali and Senegal, and they block the road that goes back-and-forth. They do a lot of trading with each other but this particular clip is interesting. This is the Senegal-Malibor border clip but it's interesting because in it they ask a woman on the street who's a Senegalese about About the cult, you know there she's a Muslim and she says something which I should probably ISO because this is You have to understand what she says about the government To understand why? A lot of the procedures a lot of the initiatives in the United States to democratize everything Are just gonna go nowhere The suggested measures haven't made it to Parliament yet. But they're already a source of heated debate

2:07:24 Islam plays a key role in this country, so does economic ties with neighboring West African countries. President Makhisal says these measures are necessary because the threats of attacks on Senegal are real. Senegal police recently made several arrests including the imam of this mosque and religious school He's accused of having links with Nigeria's Boko Haram A claim mosque worshippers strongly deny They accuse the government of attempting to destroy Islam. The state idolizes values like secularism and republican laws, they are making a big mistake as Muslims we do not accept this law of the state We only accept the rule of God Senegal has so far prevented any attacks The government says it will take whatever steps necessary to protect its citizens

2:08:15 even if it causes inconvenience for some. Nicholas Halk, Al Jazeera, Qaeda at the Senegal-Mali border. I didn't check for pipelines. Sure, pipelines are involved." That was more interested in the political thing when this woman went on about...you know, we don't...this secular crap is bull. We want our law from God and they let these imams determine what God has to say about it. And I think this is a major problem if you haven't noticed. Yeah, it seems to be a worldwide thing. It's interesting that way.

2:08:59 I would like to tease for the D-block Nigel Farage's attempt on his life. Yeah And i'm going to leave that to you, but first... All right, we do have a few people to thank.

Go over to noagenomination.com slash rings Oh yeah and uh... You okay?

2:20:28 If you have the dust on this sword Yeah, we haven't used it in a while if you have any questions about your tally You can always shoot that off to shill at knowageinthenation.com just putting your information in for the rings doesn't actually Do that but I think people can kind of figure it out before we go into the Nigel Farage I realize something else who are listening to you know this Rhetoric about Donald Trump being useful recruitment for Isis now let me just understand Donald Trump said, I would like to bar Muslims from entering the United States until we can figure all this stuff out. That's what he said and that is now apparently then again i've said this before Is pushing muslims over the edge because they're so stupid They're so stupid oh that guy! I gotta go kill somebody now Why is it?

2:21:20 that we don't have 11 million Mexicans killing people and joining the cartels because he wants to deport them, which I think is worse than not having people come in. Why aren't they up in arms? Should we not be worried about this?" I don't have a clue." Because I'm not making this stuff up like Hillary does. Yeah, sometimes we get so embroiled in whatever the messaging of the day is that you forget the pure logic that it makes no sense whatsoever I mean, Trump has been very adamant about kicking Mexicans out. Very clear! Building a wall and everything yet we don't have any organized crime... He's even said we're gonna get the drugs out We don't have any Mexican cartels or gangs saying oh if you're gonna go and kill people You horrible man Is that because Mexicans are different than uh? They are peace loving Ah so maybe it has to be those bloodthirsty Muslims There you go That is what i wanted to point out Yeah It makes zero sense at all

2:22:24 But you can use that if you have an Obama-bought dinner. You say, I don't understand. Yeah just go into that whole thing just like that. Yeah you'll never be invited back but otherwise it's a good thing to test. Now the only real big other big news was the was the beheadings and mass beheading in Saudi Arabia at the end of the year in Saudi Arabia And then they killed some very famous Shia cleric. And now all hell's breaking loose around Newark." Now, the best report of this I found was of course on Russia Today because they hate us and so they like to emphasize things that we won't emphasize because the Saudis are our buddies!

2:23:03 And so let's get a rundown, so everybody can catch up to what just happened. Again with the Saudi embassy in Tehran which has been pelted with Molotov cocktails in response to Saudi Arabia's execution of a prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr was executed along with 46 other people on charges of foreign and domestic terror Iran, which is mainly Shia has warned Riyadh of dire consequences over the killing. Angry mobs also attacked the Saudi consulate in the Iranian city of Mashhad. Nima al-Nimr was an outspoken critic of the Saudi government he called for respect for Shia minorities and demanded a Shia autonomy if rights were not respected He was arrested several times before being sentenced to death

2:23:48 He organized anti-government rallies in 2011 and 2013, but encouraged the demonstrators to remain peaceful. Outrage over the execution in Saudi Arabia itself has led to public protests including in the city where the cleric was born and anger has spread further around the globe as well Iran, as the leading Shia Muslim power in the region has a long history of disputes with Saudi Arabia which is led by hardline Sunni monarchy. Both governments have accused each other of supporting terrorism and some of those allegations relate to the Syrian conflict where the countries back opposing sides. Saudi Arabia is a close US ally whereas Iran has strongly opposed Washington's influence since 1979 revolution

2:24:34 Both states, of course are also major oil producers but they've got conflicting strategies within OPEC. Prominent Shia Muslims in Iraq and Lebanon have also lashed out at Saudi Arabia and called the execution a service to Islamic State and warned that it has opened the gates of hell and will set the region on fire. Experts we spoke to say the killing of al-Nimr is a grave warning of the growing rift between Shias and Sunni Muslims across the region Now, what is going to happen with this? since the Iraq activity that began in 2003, 2004. I think that we've been inciting...because if you notice it came out of the conversation we've been inciting a civil war between these two groups which really don't like each other they just need more prodding. This is actually this is the divide and conquer strategy? Between the Sunnis and Shias yeah And we have..and if you remember a lot of reporting in the late 2000's before about

2:25:38 Maybe 2009, 2010. I was smoking too much weed then... There was all this, oh it's a civil war! It's a civil war and there was always in Iraq. Oh it's a civil war! Yeah like Syria, Civil War. Yes the Civil War but then you talk to the man on the street and he says that's not a civil war we get along fine. I also love the dichotomy of the term civil war just always tickles me. Well, it's not a dichotomy. It's a... what is it called? It's self-uh...it's not an oxymoron. Yeah maybe it is. Whatever! It's a self contradictory statement. Civil. Civil. Civil. Civilized yeah

2:26:24 Now, we've been promoting the civil... I think it's been us that is promoting the Civil War idea and we keep doing it. We keep prodding them in this whole thing and Syria as part of it. Wasn't that just part of the rubble-line strategy? I think so. It was part of the rubble-line strategy. Rubble on the double! Yeah. And never really took off early on. It took a...we just kept doing it though and I think now with this killing of the and i i wouldn't be surprised if we didn't encourage it killing this uh... cleric who's ever been looks like he needed to go anywhere in a discussion of an drummed out of the country always doing is reviewed advocating overthrowing the government setting up shop as a another country and so much like that one-man currently no operation uh... so they killed him and now all hell's breaking loose

2:27:14 Well, we of course supply all of the weaponry to Saudi Arabia. Yes but the Russians supply the Iranians So we have another proxy war? Yeah maybe Fabulous! Yeah Well this is going to be the year John It's impossible for any civilization to live under this stress It's horrible stress of being killed by ISIS and this ISIS thing coming our way. And yeah, it's uh The citizens need to turn off their televisions They need to stop check out for a while because this is not healthy what's going on or just listen to our show we try and bring you some version of truth

2:28:02 I think it's a good version. Yeah, well of course. And meanwhile another thing that is underreported you might as well play this clip This is the continuing strife in Bahrain Okay Hundreds taking to the streets in the Bahraini city of Citra. This is the latest episode of a five-year uprising against the country's monarchy, the protests resulting in clashes with riot police who fired tear gas but this comes only a day after 23 opposition protesters were convicted on terrorism charges following another demonstration that killed a policeman

2:28:42 The way I see it, anything that has anything to do with terrorism charges or terrorism or anything is our doing. Because we're the ones who...the United States says we're the ones who promote the idea of terrorism as a thing. They created ISIS! Hillary Clinton created ISIS with Obama! Created with Obama! There you go. It's not like its not being said. Right? It IS being said and it HAS been said It's being said a lot, actually. Oh I got a great note from one of our producers, millennial producer in regards to the Pentagon claiming they will not be ready for their 2017 audit because the systems are all cobalt and they can't integrate with new fancy systems they have. Wait a minute let's start we bitched about this on last show me mostly

2:29:35 Why do they need to integrate anything? You go into the department, you run their COBOL systems. You audit them and then you go to the next department. You run their COBOL systems and you audit them. Why can't you do that one department at a time?" Actually I want to bring up...it was a written report that we talked about in the previous show and they had some very specific notes let me see Was it under military industrial complex, I think? Yeah here it is. Yeah there was a Reuters investigation that's what was so crazy about it Behind the Pentagon's doctored ledgers running okay all the way at the bottom It says... let me scroll down The Pentagon can't manage what it can't measure and Congress can effectively perform No thats not it Its before this Where they specifically said they had to integrate- I want to get the exact verbiage about the COBOL stuff Here it is

2:30:37 Reuters has found that the Pentagon probably won't meet its deadlines. The main reason is rooted in the Pentagon's continuing reliance on a tangle of thousands of disparate, obsolete... ...largely incompatible accounting and business management systems Many of these systems were built in the 1970s and use outmoded computer languages such as COBOL on old mainframes They use antiquated file systems that make it difficult or impossible to search for data. Much of the data is corrupted and erroneous." That part I believe... That part is different! Yeah, and so I got this nice note from producer Jimson

2:31:14 I was shocked to hear pundits describing programs written in COBOL as useless and antiquated. I'm 25, and finishing up a degree in computer science at an American university! Modern students –at least my school- are in no way discouraged to learn old languages like COBOL. In fact our data structure class is primarily taught in ADA95 specifically to encourage developing skills on working on existing software which is the vast majority of the systems in government industry COBOL was also allowed and accepted. People at my school who major in Management Information Systems, a Business Computing degree still actively study COBOL along with SAP and the more quote modern tools Just a month ago when I was walking around the statistics building I read an excellent poster based study of a student's master project that involved parallel processing of COBOL programs. COBOL ain't dead! There you go

2:32:06 Who's he bitching about the pundits was that you saying we were no not no. No, what would Reuters said? Reuters aren't pundits now. He's 25 You know what he means okay? I'm just kidding Don't give me hey come on don't give the guy any crap Well, he's right This is nonsense and it's being lapped up by the mainstream media hook, line and sinker. Which is a mixed metaphor if you've ever heard one. I love that one. Lapped up hook, line and sinker! You gotta write that down. Anyway... It's horrible! They're lying to us. They don't want, they are ripping us off! There is corruption afoot that's the only reason we have more military... Our budget is bigger than all the other military budgets in the entire world put together ours is bigger why do we need more money? Why do we need more money? Ours is bigger than everybody's all combined add China to Russia and add the EU's to that number and keep adding numbers you never gonna get our number

2:33:08 What are we spending this money on? Bull crap. Well, there's got to be a lot of bull crap going on and it needs to be fleshed out and that means somebody has gotta audit the Pentagon. And let us remember... Sorry! Let us remember... Start your cover-up work now You know what it is they figured that its gonna take them over a year to cover up the mess Yeah So thats why oh we can't do anything for over a year or you're gonna miss the deadline They're gonna cover up the mess and then try to slide out of this We need to remember That on September 10th One day before the well-known 9-11, Donald Rumsfeld made a very interesting statement. Let's see if I can pull this from the YouTube it is everywhere so you can find it. Here we go CBS News report. Before 911 Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld declared war not on foreign terrorists The adversary is closer to home

2:34:01 It's the Pentagon bureaucracy. He said money wasted by the military poses a serious threat In fact, it could be said that it is a matter of life and death Rumsfeld promised change but the next day... The world changed And in the rush to fund the war on terrorism The war on waste seems to have been forgotten My 03 budget calls for more than Forty-eight billion dollars in new defense spend. I don't think it's in here and he's what Rumsfeld says on September 10th 2001 is 2 point 3 trillion dollars are unaccounted for at the Pentagon 615 years ago, yeah, can you imagine how big the hole isn't that place? Unbelievable, that's crazy

2:34:46 And I want to remind people out there when they talk about, oh defense...they wanna cut the defense but they wanna cut-cut-cut. They wanna cut the defense. No! They wanna cut the increase. The defense budget has not been cut it never gets cut. It's the increase that gets cut. That already got taken care of in the omnibus bill. It's done. They increased it. That all just slipped under their radar. Yeah they didn't even cut the increase. They increased it more. Jen Briney did a show on the omnibus. I haven't listened to it yet, but probably she'll have something in there. I'll have a listen Yeah, she starts cussing a lot That means she's really when she's really an analysis hey final thing I noticed then we don't have time for tech news But it appears now that face bag is also doing verified status for users

2:35:36 So now not only can you be a verified user on Twitter, but you can be... well here's my... of course I'm not verified obviously. Of course that you'll never get verified! I'm thinking when you live in the police state do not want to be on any kind of list of any kind this actually may be a very bad thing what are they going to do with those verified people? I don't know. I agree with the basic thesis. I think it is not a good idea to be on lists at this point in time You're probably right. So if you're looking for something, I suggest the show notes noagendanotes.com you can find an archive of that at archivedatnoagendanotes.com And of course we have places for you to search that Search dot na shownotes.com all of that in the show notes for today's episode 787 Of The Best Podcast In The Universe and with that Jean-Claude Oui

2:36:43 We will see each other again on Thursday and we'll see what else we have to do. Deconstruct, we'll be rolling. There's plenty by then. Plenty to do.

The US State Department's also been in a bit of a reflective mood taking a look at the past year and to the surprise of many not least Syrians it outlined bringing peace and security to Syria as one of America's greatest achievements They've created ISIS Hillary Clinton created ISIS with Obama Created with Obama 5 4 3

2:37:52 2 1 FAAAVORITE IS Victoria Kagan Noodleman. Yeah! Let's get social! Give it up, Mary McCoy! Yes the beaches are back open! Yeah! ISIS uses social media like a job fair. Trouble solved, come to the caliphate. Come to the caliphate because we and our allies sent 600 tons of weapons into that civil war. We have people in mosques being vandalized kids being executed, being executed. We'll be back one day to fight our own weapons. They were known as

2:38:51 normal teenagers. They punish us for doing things that we take for granted, normal teenagers. We are killing them and we will continue killing ISIS terrorists that pose a threat to us. We're very good at that. Jamila is it funny or is it in poor taste? Yet as we look around the world, we encounter upheaval and conflict and chaos. I said propaganda! And her head is gone. POTATOES We are here, hashtag America near our hashtag target soon.
