Mental Defectives

00:00 I got a really disturbing note on my door today. Deconstructing the war on crazy and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star state here in FEMA region 6 in the Capitol That would be Austin Tejaus. In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry, and from the capital of northern Silicon Valley I am John C DuBois It's the beer I shouldn't be drinking beer in the morning and start saying things twice you know in the morning once in a while Heyo! Hows your neuroelasticity?

00:43 Am I neuro-elasticity? Yes. Quite good! How do you know it's good? Because I can sense it. Remember when we were harping on NPR and PBS advertising, specifically around lumosity Lumosity. Remember Lumosity? No, I don't remember it. I mean, I know Lumosity but I don't remember us harping on it. Yeah because they made all these claims about neuroelasticity and we looked at the rules of NPR underwriting and you can't make these kinds of claims and now it turns out that the claims they were making

01:20 Oh, right. This was a while ago about all those stupid processes you've used to make yourself smarter. Yeah and the games you play. You buy an app then you play some games... And the next thing you know you're a genius! So the Federal Trade Commission fined them two million dollars for deceptive advertising practices and named specifically ads that ran on NPR Hold on a second let me get this straight yeah my point exactly So they got busted for false advertising on a network that has no advertising. Not making false claims... Lumosity preyed on consumers' fears about age-related cognitive decline, suggesting their games could stave off memory loss dementia and even Alzheimer's disease but Lumosity simply did not have the science to back up its ads

02:18 And they're very clear here. Lumosity spots ran on CNN, Fox News History Channel National Public Radio Pandora Series XM and Spotify And I remember that NPR was inundated That's why we brought it up What is this stupid play your game thing? And apparently they wanted to fine them 50 million But because they're doing so poorly, they only have to pay two million. Figures they'd never get any money if they find them too much! But I think it still remains something to be investigated that these deceptive ads were run as underwriting and sponsorship on NPR

03:01 Unbelievable. That's a great catch! It would be clip of the day if it were a clip I don't have a clip Well, it is funny because in the newsletter I mentioned that people pass this around CNN is trying to figure out how what to do about DVRs and everything that keeps you from actually watching any of these adverts Yeah this is the three minute native ads they want to do So they want to do 3-minute native ads Intel by the way is already on this They said, you will sign us up. Sure first company to do that? I think I already saw one which where did they see that it was the Intel drone that can follow you along and it was kind of disguised as a CES report and by the way all CES reports are kind of advertising one way or the other. I think half more native ads yeah yeah I mean you can kinda tell

03:52 You can kind of tell, it's not absolute certainty but you can kinda tell because some of these guys first you never heard the reporter. Right right right And then they're promoting a product. Yeah. Because of trends and if they were reporting trends and kinda mentioned a few products that would maybe be okay but no go out and buy this I have another discrepant kind of a thing. I want to just start the show off with this, play this interesting clip. This was on, I think it was on News Hour and it was about taxonomy and how important it is and its about identifying species of animals if you become a taxonomist. Now this guy's a specialist in ants. We can zoom in and actually see

04:44 that we were collecting it just near Golden Gate Park in the Presidio, in the coastal prairie. And over here we have three standard views and an image of a label We can quickly load up the ant...and there is our beautiful Formica subpolita Ant web is a great example Now anybody anywhere at any time can become a taxonomist You don't have to be based at a museum We've discovered but 10% of the living things on earth. 90% is out there to be found, we need more taxonomists! Unfortunately it doesn't seem that people are beating down the doors to hire learning institutions to become taxonomists

03:52 You can kind of tell, it's not absolute certainty but you can kinda tell because some of these guys first you never heard the reporter. Right right right And then they're promoting a product. Yeah. Because of trends and if they were reporting trends and kinda mentioned a few products that would maybe be okay but no go out and buy this I have another discrepant kind of a thing. I want to just start the show off with this, play this interesting clip. This was on, I think it was on News Hour and it was about taxonomy and how important it is and its about identifying species of animals if you become a taxonomist. Now this guy's a specialist in ants. We can zoom in and actually see

04:44 that we were collecting it just near Golden Gate Park in the Presidio, in the coastal prairie.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem that people are beating down the doors to hire learning institutions to become taxonomists

05:31 Why don't people want to become tech that seems like the job the restaurant job of the future well this thing they've got my attention Yeah, I'm the executive chef. I'm a taxonomist discover new ant but we got two things out of this report It was pretty long But one of them was just more than just the Argentinian ants in California I thought they were already been wiped out all the other populations, but I guess not ah the other one was And this kind of flies in the face of the global warmest alarmist. Only 10% of all species have been discovered, it's right smack dab in the middle that report on PBS. If there is only 10 percent of all species have been discovered how are we having these species kill offs?

06:20 Is it part of just a bigger cycle? There's a lot of possibilities here, but you can't say we're all 90% of the species living today will be dead. You know all these kind of claims that come out of the global warmest alarmist and But if only 10 percent of all species in the world have been discovered I don't know where you get that number by the way, but is what he says I find them right thought there was interesting It was a good little thing to throw back at people mm-hmm somebody brings it up say well, you know right Well, you know yeah Well, you know There's a lot of there's always a lot of science talk on the social social medias everyone knows it so much better This is like Neil deGrasse Tyson. I didn't clip it cuz like five minutes He did a scientific response to the Gettysburg Address and he's just all this science stuff what yeah? Yeah, no It's really It's something that I mean you it's not for public consumption could make you ill What was the point of it?

07:22 Then to promote the national in science Was it and the National Science Committee? What is the Commission what is the National Institute of Science? Yeah, I think that's or something like that apparently Abraham Lincoln created that and so that's a forget the Gettysburg Address We're celebrating the creation of us a science in government. That's the message well Here's another thing that bothers me Besides the 10% of all species have been discovered, which kind of throws into question all these claims about die-offs. When I watch a lot of these reports and I believe this one was on ABC, I get this sort of...and I think the public should notice this too. Listen to this report we have all this you know the water getting a lot of rain so that our drought is supposed to end but of course it won't it will never end but play this report and tell me if you can spot

08:17 The little problem with this water report, I don't know where FALW is. Are being diverted into recharge basins where they replenish groundwater supplies Gary Hildebrand is the deputy director of the Public Works Department How much water are you capturing in these places? Well in the storm that occurred yesterday for example we were able to capture 1.6 billion gallons of water which is enough water for around 40 thousand people The concern now are the saturated hillsides like this one that burned in a recent wildfire. The mud... Okay, yeah, the mud's gonna come down. Okay, yeah, the mud slides So what was wrong with that report to me? I don't know when they went into 160 billion gallons of water my eyes glazed over He says it is enough to service 40,000 people

09:09 Is that 40,000 an hour? 40,000 a day? 40,000 a month? 40,000 a decade? 40,000 for their lifetime? I don't know. 40,000 per year? How much is it per person if you do the math? Well who cares! Is it per day? Per month? Per year? Per decade?! For what!? Well we can start off by saying how many gallons did they have? Play it again its short clip Just do the math, people. Are being diverted into recharge basins where they replenish groundwater supplies Gary Hildebrand is the deputy director of the Public Works Department How much water are you capturing in these places? Well in these storms that occurred yesterday for example we were able to capture 1.6 billion gallons of water which is enough water for around 40 thousand people

09:52 The concern now are the saturated hills. Okay, so 1.6 gallons billion at one point six billion. So it's 16 oops could someone please do the math for me? It's too early 16 if I didn't calculate our brain to three by 41 23 still missing my points for you know that your yellow your point is right but i'm just trying to back into it you're trying to buy breaking it down You think you can as you can figure out Well, I can make an estimation. So if it's...I come up with per person? Is it 400 gallons? I don't know. I'm not doing the math. I'm sitting here. Well anyway the point is that you should they think I should say and the reporter should say something

10:45 I mean, if somebody comes out and says we got 1.6 billion which is good for food, which will support 40 thousand people? We'll support them for all eternity? I don't know it's...I think it's forty thousand gallons per person so I don't know what a person uses Anyway this one of my little things that keeps saying Oh yeah as a report It's totally valid nuts Let's see I almost don't know where to start There are couple good things we can talk about Let's talk about the Oregon Oathers then, just to get it going because this is the thing that irked me the most. There was a solid report in Rancher's News or something that you sent around...you sent me a copy and if you put that in the show notes

11:36 And people read that in fact anyone who starts well these guys are nuts all these are gun nuts and let's start Let me start there. No, let me start right there because here is what I saw since you and I last spoke That is when we said goodbye on the show as we don't talk in between episodes or even communicate really Well, you just send me that email I did oh that email yeah, no it just says a hey take a look Hey read this hey worth of reading So, the face bag. Here's kind of how it progressed First the meme came around that these guys are terrorists Alright so that kind of... and I'm.. these are the same people who i know who have known many of them have known for years pretty much all liberal many Obama bots

12:27 And, okay so first it says hey these guys are terrorists. And then the next wave was well if these guys were black they would be dead by now! They'd be shot up there's no way that terrorists and... By the way I think if you use the word militia in the US Constitution sense and terrorist I don't think they fit in the same sentence Because you can say, oh these guys are militia because they're armed which is another meme that was going around. We identified that immediately. Militia, militia, militia... It's a bunch of dudes! Okay, militia and then also being a terrorist in US constitutional sense it's a bit of an oxymoron And then this is what really went wacky Is they became white supremacists

13:19 And we should kill them. Send- and, John! Nonstop Every comment DRONE THOSE FUCKERS KILL EM WHO GIVES A SHIT? And then they just keep reaching back If they were black there would be dead This is on your face Face bag Everywhere EVERYWHERE Um... Okay so let's I have a couple of clips to back this up The mob This doesn't come out of nowhere It's influenced by what people who are uneducated and the uh The the Oregon background is reasonably complicated there, you know these guys were sentenced under terrorist guidelines You know this should Give a little more background to them anyone listening to this. Well, okay So there's two things and I'm a little skeptical about skeptical about these Bundy Bundy brothers but the background is

14:12 If you really look at the history of this area in Oregon, and in fact in many places in the United States government has claimed that they need land for public use. And a lot of allegations are hey it looks like all the land with gold and uranium and all the valuable stuff has been taken away. When they take it away they pay people off either in cold hard cash or they give them grazing rights also in these areas grazing rights is not It's stuff that has been going on for over 100 years. Your cattle can go on someone else's land, you can light fires to protect your land if it spreads to other land, you're liable so there is a lot of complicated background but

14:57 Through all of the different procedures and court cases and things that have happened throughout the years, you can see from a rancher's perspective that you've been closed in more and more. The birds don't like the public wildlife park there. They're sitting on your land." The government says, well we got to save the birds. We have to have your land so this goes on And this particular situation, it looks like the government has bought up everything around this one ranch. They wanted these guys to get out and they wouldn't budge! The problem I have is the Bundy Boys. Now, the coincidence of the president's gun legislation his town hall with Jake Tapper, his State Of The Union on Tuesday and these guys just all of a sudden showing up and it being translated into armed militia armed to the teeth I really haven't seen a lot of armed-to-the-teeth footage

15:55 And worse, the Bundy boys they seem to be clueless. And I'm wondering what their motivation is? Here's the most recent little stand up press thing that did a thing from last night. If you have asked us for what is our name and other than just citizens that care and feel like it's time that we make a stand to protect our human rights. We didn't really know what to say." So you can just see how this went, reporters are up there... Hey hey! What do you guys call yourselves? Like white knights of freedom?! Do you call yourselves a militia terrorist armed against all government?? What do you call yourselfs??? But we felt that would give ourselves the name at least so that week we could be reported that way

16:45 And we could be more organized in that effort. Uh-huh? That would be Citizens for Constitutional Freedom Okay Great name Our purpose, as we have shown... Our purpose! Is to restore and defend the constitution. Okay That seems rather futile And it seems incredibly unorganized and they're pandering to the media to give them a name, tell everyone what their mission is. It bothers me that this all happened right? There's no pushback really from the feds

17:24 Let's do a little round of some of the memes that were out there in cable news and some other mainstream media. Just understand how this is affecting people and their perception of what's going on, which is really a buncha dudes hanging out like... What was it? 11 guys? Okay. They're having a little tea party. It seems that this country has a double standard This is David Love He writes for The Griot which is a black-oriented website. It used to be owned by NBCUniversal and apparently the owners bought it back. It seems that this country has a double standard, I would say it's a color coded system when it comes to defining terrorism throughout the years black people have been criminalized and you know

18:10 It seems that white people, when they have guns roam around take over a federal building. It's okay I'd argue that if this group had been black or brown and Muslim you know there would be a much different response actually a violent response. The critics of... How does that equate? how does this equate to any other kind of protest that he is talking about Or killing your colleagues or killing children It doesn't make any sense or burning sorry nonsensical thing I've noticed this on Twitter. I think there was well you hear see one of these Retweets if they can call black lives matter folks thugs yes, why can't you call these Oregon nuts?

18:55 terrorists. Well, the good news is... I don't see the connection but okay well the good news is under the legal definition yeah you can call them terrorist you can also call Black Lives Matter terrorists under that the current legal definition which we discussed years ago That would have been the best retort Everybody could be... I woulda said I dunno I think it should call them both terrorists Exactly What your sort of thesis would be saying will hang on a second you know these armed protesters in Oregon leading the witness yes they may be armed they're not destroying property no one's in a minute danger there what would your response to them be well it is good that they're not destroying property but bob its i'd believe that terrorism goes far beyond just you know destroying property the fact is that they are heavily armed onto the teeth onto the team has no real evidence of that date bar

19:45 they are in possession of a federal building. You mentioned a word, a second ago I had a separate guest on from the Washington Post who would agree with you and she used the word terrorism Would you call this terrorism? Oh definitely! It's not just a matter of violence but it is the use of force threatening and intimidating These days you have these militia groups these white militia groups White militia groups add hate in there to go around carrying their weapons It's not just a matter of making a political statement, but they know that they are instilling fear into the hearts and minds of people. And that's why they're effective." I don't know who is very afraid... I've seen no evidence of people being very afraid of these guys up in Oregon Just haven't seen it

20:32 But then, as you said the tweeters got on it and of course were very creative here in the US. And we came up with all kinds of cool hashtags. There are no members of law enforcement out here that we can see they've been here for now two days going into a third day and that has a lot of folks talking on social media as you might imagine there's a lot of criticism saying well if they were armed militia that took over, for example another kind of government building and they happen to be African American or they happen to be Muslims. That the response would be very different. Joey... Yeah if they took over a different kind of building yeah maybe Just listening to Sarah's report and also knowing that the head of this Ammon Bundy is walking in and out giving interviews seems to have control of this situation you've got dozens of white American so-called patriots who have taken control over this

21:21 is the federal government. I think we will see the federal government what the response will be however remains an open question and last night Bundy tweeted that we are not terrorists, we are men who believe in our rights but they've also he's also said that they're planning on staying there perhaps for years if need be this is like a real sort of Occupy movement and there's even a hashtag to that effect. Everybody remembers Ruby Ridge, everybody remembers many bad things that happened and the government certainly does not want something like that but you know critics are arguing that if this was another group but you know there are different hashtags out there now mocking this being calling them vanilla Isis calling them Yeehaw-ists they're sort of making fun of these people in that building but at the same time it

22:08 If this were members of ISIS or proclaimed members of ISIS who had taken over a facility, is it fair to say the response would in fact be very very different? And i think that people... What kind of hypothetical... Oh no this is insane. Adolf Hitler took over the place with that, would the response be different if it was a bunch of midgets that took over the place would the response be different? Yeah! If it was Adolf Hitler we'd put him on Time Magazine as man-of-the-year Twice if it was women who took over the place with their response to be so what exactly responses gonna be different under all circumstances It's a variable, but now listen to how the responses. You know came to bear came This is Joe Scarborough morning jaw that feel like they can go take over federal buildings We have a great idea why don't we?

22:57 Why don't we send the Chicago Police Department out there? And see how they handle them. Like I said... So wait, yeah. So he's approving killing the corrupt Chicago police? Yes He's using that as kind of leverage or whether you know those in Chicago Yeah They'd beat the crap out of him unconstitutionally and illegally beat the crap out of them That's okay And what has happened is people are so tired if I think people are so tired of hearing about these terrorists up in Oregon and what they're doing, and white militia and KKK and Waco. And all these messages are put upon people if you have to go read through any of the material to understand what really the background is... I don't think their method is right but I understand these ranchers being very tired themselves

23:52 But people just get inundated with all this and they say, fuck him. I mean John not once to me ten times Obama should drone them They should he should drone them get rid of these a-holes. I'm tired of them. They're irritating their horrible That's your face bag. And that's the face bag and to me if an American... You know people should just get off of that system, it is evil and toxic It's unhealthy very unhealthy Very unhealthy And you're just reading the comments sometimes I have to call Tina at work and say can you just read this You know, if an American citizen stands up and says hey man I'm sick and tired they're taking away my rights. The default response from the American citizens on the face bag has become shut up and kill him! I'm very troubled by this. And it's also pretty much saying white people suck

24:52 And you know black protesters white protesters white guys suck kill them. It's it's you know Yeah, nobody's running burn stuff down there how no one suggested droning occupy Wall Street But they did eventually get rid of them but no one suggested killing them This is crime time TV that had a guy on former FBI agent white Steve Moore And he had some interesting conclusions in this. Of course, he's set up properly by the interviewer. I did want to ask you though on a more serious note if you think that the militia and also sort of the white supremacist movement... See they keep doing this! Militia which is- White supremacy. The white supremacists movement. Have you heard anything about white supremacy? If you read that report in that publication that you have linked to the show notes there's no mention of anything such as this and then there was no background at all

25:48 these guys have that would indicate this. No, but it's just these memes that are out there. Then it probably leads similar to a bunch of black kids running around burning shit thugs bunch of white guys with guns in the prairie You know white supremacists a greater threat to the country than Isis I haven't had a chance to talk to you about that and we keep hearing from you know, the Republican candidates Very little about this particular topic sort of home-grown white anti government terrorism Homegrown and wait homegrown white anti government terrorism

26:25 And nobody talks about it. So while I have you here, I just wanted to ask that question the no agenda show talks about it incessantly I will I work both malicious and white supremacist and Al Qaeda right on this is the guy Here's the guy we want to talk to This is the guy and he's so gay You gotta not believe him question. I woke I worked both militias and white supremacists and al-qaeda. Okay? I have a lot of cross-pollinization, at least as far as seeing how they operate. I'll bet you do! The average Al Qaeda or ISIS terrorist is a functional person the average militia person is generally not a functional person These people... it comes in waves

27:06 These people, racist comment. When you get eight years of a democratic administration the militias grow when you get eight years of a republic administration the militias kind of recede it's a tide thing going on so what your seeing is the tide growing There's no bigotry in that comment No Is a perceived and I'm not taking sides but there is a perceived belief that their constitutional rights are being eroded. People they don't like are being accepted in society as equals, and they are powerless. And so what do they do? They do what a baby does—they cry just hoping to get some attention and thinking that this will change things.

27:51 It isn't going to change. Those guys in there aren't willing to die, they don't know how close they are but they are not willing to die for this. There's this belief that they have it is kind of an apocalyptic belief based on if you build it then people will come. They think that if you build the revolution people will come armed and with flags and what their gonna get is a guy with three teeth, dog and pickup truck and gun That's their delusion. They are delusional three teeth of pickup truck and a gun dog and a dog Three teeth the dog in a pickup truck this is the most bigoted guy what? What station are you listening to that is a crime TV might forget what it runs on It's less than yeah, but it was FBI guys so I wanted to want to capture that yeah now my real only

28:48 You know, conclusion on this is I am very... you know. I'm all for standing up for your rights. This is public land you have the right to assemble. Taking over a federal building-I know these federal buildings at the parks! There's bunch of rangers sitting there smoking weed in the back. No this federal building is a shack Well, it's wooden constraints. It's not just a shack. It's big enough. They went inside this thing... When you say federal building in the mainstream media, you're assuming a skyscraper? No! I think you're thinking of the Murrow Federal Building. These are all little triggers

29:27 You're thinking Timothy McVeigh, federal building. Yeah that's what I'm... No i'm not thinking it! I'm saying that that's what they are projecting. There has only been one or two news outlets have actually gone to the building which is you know just like a... We have over in Port Angeles we were right across from the Olympic The headquarters or the main building, which is a federal building for the National Park. And that building that is right across the street from us is bigger And it's just a log cabin, it's a big giant log cabin with little exhibits inside. It's bigger than the thing they took over but the way they make it sound is oh they've taken over a federal building and it sounds as though there was like a big brick-and-mortar structure of some sort where the social security guys in there had to roust them

30:19 So, I don't even think this is a news story. Well to me if i was the news editor of publication or...I would put this in the back page It's a human interest story that people want because it sets the stage and set the stage perfectly for the president executive action please mind you people there was no executive order anywhere tired hearing that if the news can even get that right it was executive action he took which is just the president writing something and his agency's changing rules slightly. So I have to say, I am very suspicious of the Bundy brothers... I think their hearts are in the right place but the cluelessness of them going out talking to the media saying, you guys want a name? Well we're for the- We'll dream one up! Yeah and what do we wanna do? Well we wanna stop the government from encroachment

31:16 That, to me and the fact that no one's doing anything means that they've been handled. And it came just at the right time because we need to put in not just black on black crime, not just white cops on black cops... We have to bring in more racial tension and it worked very well! Every single example I find is white guys with guns with hats crazy sick bucks And it is... Three teeth in a dog. It's disturbing to see how social media propagates this now, we should probably get right into... Worsens, worsens. It doesn't just propagate it amplifies and worsens. Amplifies and worsens of course the president came out with his executive actions Of course I have all the documents and we can go through those but maybe you give a backgrounder on

32:11 on the president and his announcement. Well, you know I watched the whole thing, I caught it and watched the entire boring episode. How about if i give you a couple of like...I have ABC CBS NBC kind of a three by three of how they announced the president. Why don't you do it? Yeah, we'll do that a little bit. Good evening President- ABC Obama who can sometimes seem cool and distant broke into tears today at the White House talking about the victims of gun violence not just talking in fact taking action on gun control The reaction was fast and fierce from survivors to the streets of Chicago to the NRA It was a rare glimpse at America's parent in chief Oh! The parent in chief

32:56 Why do they said that yeah rare glimpse to the America's parent-in-chief? America's parent in chief Mm-hmm from every family who never imagined that their loved one would be taken from our lives by a bullet from a gun Camera clicks the only sound in the White House East Room as the normally stoic President Obama openly wept, and paused to compose himself. Openly wept? He did not openly weep! Weep is very different but okay here's CBS That would be Boehner he would do that Yeah Boehner is a guy who weeps yeah Obama rubs his shed about here. Mm-hmm Yeah, he rubbed it here He rubbed one out on the podium CBS silence more powerful than words The president mourns victims of gun violence and takes action to stop it It is a sight we rarely see the tears of the most powerful man in the world powerless To get the United States Congress to tighten gun control laws

33:56 The president was announcing what he would do by executive action without Congress when the memories of these victims, 21st graders from Newtown Connecticut six or seven years old choked Mr. Obama in mid-sentence there have been 30... Notice that none of them show video of what the president actually said which was it gets me mad Not it makes me mad, it gets me mad. Which I think is all telling but they never really did just show the picture of him rubbing his eyes. From Newtown Connecticut six or seven years old choked Mr Obama in mid-sentence there have been 13 mass killings during the Obama presidency each time Republicans voted against gun legislation but last month... Nice!

34:47 So there were 13 mass killings, mass shootings each time Republicans said let them kill more babies. It's all good After San Bernardino Mr Obama decided to act on his own Although the issue of stricter gun laws remains highly divisive 92% of Americans support background checks But the president, in the wake of the Sandy Hook shootings failed to get legislation through Congress that would have expanded them. The National Rifle Association reacted to the President's remarks with a hail of tweets in real time saying... The deep-pocketed group issued this warning to any lawmakers thinking of siding with the president. FYI, all NRA grades are subject to change. Let's go to the final one. This is NBC. They're very excited because they are now so involved in the script and it's NBC they're going one step further We're back at 730 we promised a big announcement here. It is you see the White House there next Tuesday

35:50 in a morning show first, we're going to broadcast our entire show there. This is unprecedented this is the day of President Obama's very last State of the Union address and will have unique access inside The White House for the entirety of our show We're gonna have some rooms that are rarely seen by the public walking through them and of course we'll sit down with the president as well talk about some of the issues facing his presidency In its final year That is today at The White House or what were gonna call it Today Takes Over The White House but the secret service Yeah, unprecedented access. What was he talking about? The Secret Service had a problem with the title today takes over the White House. Yeah because that sounds like terrorists. They can call whatever they want. Well the Secret Service did not allow it I think that's bullshit probably

36:43 Okay, I think we should talk about specifically what the president what executive actually okay? Why don't you do that because I do have two clips on this and I don't know if they're any different than yours probably I'm gonna leave the war on crazy for the last but first Sorry. Oh, I was gonna say you wanted to Obama in tears. I believe this clip to Obama in tears clip Ah okay is just actually has this as the one now it's also possible that that he screwed up the read on the teleprompter, they're rolling it back trying to figure out where he was and you know... He just took advantage of the situation. President Obama today unable to hold back tears as he remembered 20 children murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary Every time I think about those kids it gets me mad

37:31 And by the way, it happens on the streets of Chicago every day. In the three years since Newtown he's failed to get any sweeping new gun laws through Congress today The frustration and emotion surfaced forced a proposed far more modest executive action All right So he does bet that the Chicago comment I think he I think that sounds like something you threw in at the end because he knew he was gonna get flack Oh yeah, that's... I'm sure. Everything- And if you listen to his cadence it was a little different. Somebody wrote us and said that the tear was followed by a very subtle smile which is a psychopath. Yeah, i think you know It doesn't really matter. I enjoyed the comedy. But anyway go on. Because this everywhere rampant conspiracy he used Vicks

38:23 He used an onion, he had some kind of movie stuff. Whatever. It's a good trick. I can make myself cry you put me up with it. There are a lot of actors and actresses that can... And in high school we had a guy who could do this. But but but! We need to review what he actually said every time i think of those children it gets me mad not it makes me mad it gets me mad Well, it gets him mad but he doesn't make... if he had said it makes me sad. Or mad! But either way he said it gets me mad because he's mad about something else. It's just the moment of tear that when you're supposed to use the word sad not mad. Ah right yeah should be anger. Anger not sorrow good point

39:07 Okay, now to some of the specifics. I just want to use the president's own words The problem is some gun sellers have been operating under a different set of rules A violent felon can buy the exact same weapon over the internet with no background check No questions asked. A recent study found that about 1 in 30 people looking to buy guns on one website had criminal records One out of thirty had criminal record So, what he's saying and we've caught this earlier. Who was it that said I don't know how people buy guns on the internet? Was that the president? No there was...I forgot who that was. Anyway go on. When you buy a gun on the internet unless your buying on Craigslist from some guy and meeting him on a corner which there may be a problem with people giving stuff to each other

40:04 They don't ship the gun to your home. You get it from a federally licensed firearms dealer and they cannot hand that firearm to you until you've done a background check But the insinuation is, oh on the internet there's no background checks. At gun shows? Oh there's no background checks! Untrue. If you buy a gun at a gun show, you probably will have to pick it up unless there's a federally licensed firearms dealer right there You still cannot just hand over the cash and take it with you Now can you meet a guy outside in the corner and make a deal? Yeah of course you can Of course you can But background checks, they're done. They're in every single state but the insinuation that somehow online it doesn't work that way? No and it appears that a lot of legislators don't even know this Well most of this is based on a number of lies

41:04 I'll point out the fact that since Obama got into office, we've put probably another 100 million guns or at least 50 million more on the street. And gun violence has reduced since Obama got in from the day he got in it's reduced from 7 per 100 thousand gun deaths to 3.8 per one hundred thousand. It's gone down drastically. This is never discussed. And in fact, a survey that was done of the public in general 56% of the public believes that gun violence has gone up based on this hyperbole done by the president and others. So most people think it's gone up. In fact, it's gone way down

41:44 And this whole thing is all based on lies. And so the internet lie that I'm gonna order a gun and it's gonna show up in my mailbox, you know, UPS gun out of...a nice Glock just showing up is all part...this whole thing as a giant lie and I have a theory about that too but I wanna hear the rest what you have to say. Okay. So it mainly focused on the loopholes, the background checks The idea that we're going to make things better and sell less guns by moving background check systems to a 17 hour per day availability, to a 24 hour 7 day week availability

42:24 to me means you're making gun sales possible by another eight hours. I don't understand, it seems like okay thanks now we can always do a background check it's just going to be easier for everybody. That's an interesting catch. Well that's the main part of the legislation. All the gun guys have talked to Chris, Chris is on his way to the town hall uh you know Chris Jacob one huge supporters, Sir Chris. And he's going to be at the town hall with Jake Tapper and you'll see that these things will have to be straightened out but this is kind of good. Enhance... He owns gun stores. Have the background checks 24-7? Great! Now we can always do a background check I don't know it just seems like an improvement Just before the president

43:15 did his speech, he had a little sit down because he had to sit down with the country and Western singer Loretta Lynch there. And I think he misspoke here maybe just a little bit but this is true feeling about the mental health part of the executive action. What I asked my team to do is see what more we could do to strengthen our enforcement and prevent guns from falling into the wrong hands criminals, people who are mentally unstable. Those who could pose a danger to themselves or others are less likely to get it done." People who are mentally unstable the president says should not have access to guns of course the issue is who determines whose mentally unstable and this is what I focused on maybe before we get to that

44:09 I'd like to do one little clip here of the president during and this was, this whole sequence was unbelievable to me. This brings in the constitution, the president of course a constitutional law Or, I'm sorry. Scholar is the new term He's a constitutional scholar Well shit! I'm a constitutional scholar am i not? Yeah They're not even saying he's a constitutional lawyer But listen to this... I want to be absolutely clear at the start I've said this over and over again This also becomes routine There's a ritual about this whole thing that I have to do I believe in the second amendment It's there written on the paper

44:54 On the paper. It's, I believe in the second amendment is written there on that thing um... The thing? On the paper! What do you call it? The paper! And then listen to the continuation right after he says ehhh that thing there uh they're on the paper. On the paper. Yeah, its on the paper. It guarantees a right to bear arms No it does not Mr President It guarantees that your natural right to bear arms shall not be infringed by laws. That is what it guarantees, shall not be infringed by laws. Is this guy really a constitutional lawyer? He has never- It gets worse! It gets worse! It guarantees the right to bear arms

45:42 No matter how many times people try to twist my words around, I taught constitutional law. I know a little about this. I know a little bout'bout this on the paper! I know what's on the paper and a little bit about what is in the paper. But I also believe that we can find ways to reduce gun violence consistent with the Second Amendment. By, yeah but not by creating laws that infringe upon the people's right to bear arms now do we have all kinds of rules and regulations for all other kinds of amendments? Sure! But that is not how a constitutional lawyer maybe how a constitutional scholar would speak. It's on the paper. I believe in the Second Amendment

46:27 It's there written on the paper. That should go down in history, man. The paper? At that event I...that was galling but the other thing was interesting he got a number of standing ovations and the first one was the most telling because it had everybody jumped up excepted There were three black guys right in the front row who are clapping, but they refused to stand up. But they went on too long so they decided to stand up. They stood up and one of them then the next one stood up next to him and then who was the last person? The absolute last person in this entire crowd to stand up

47:07 during the, I think pretty much every one of these standing ovations. The last person? The last person to stand Was it a congressperson? A politician? Comey. Ha ha! No, he's... Well first of all he's eight feet tall. He was like oh god I gotta get up again. It takes so much time. He was the last and now that he stood up last and he clapped slowly And it was a slow clap yeah. He's a slow clapper. As an aside by the way I want to tell people out there if you're giving speeches or talks Or are doing anything and you have a lavalier mic on please do not clap

47:47 Or if you clap clap a lot to the left right by the mic and it sounds like gunshots Yeah, the sound booth is not happy people. You know anyway I got a kid there was he wasn't up there on stage and had a lot of the Sandy Hook parents Also, there was Chris Hurst Chris Hurst this is the alleged boyfriend of Allison Parker the journalist who was allegedly killed on camera In Virginia, right? I didn't know. I didn't notice that he was there but that's it well There was it to think maybe CNN someone caught up with him outside Okay And to ask of me I'm just why we doing all that and you know I've always had this This issue with this guy where it almost seems like well You go back and listen to previous shows where this guy is very very strange as his boyfriend-like reactions But then he said something about being at this event

48:42 and maybe about the event in general that, you know I don't know words matter to me. Uh...I hate it when people talk about you know actors killed people in the scene all of this stuff just too many Hollywood references They reported and investigated And once you answer that question then that kind of guides you as whether or not You really think something should be done by our government How are you doing? I mean, I woke up this morning and was staring at the hotel ceiling wishing that I could return this contract that I signed. That she was going to be here with me, that we were going to have our life together and that this wasn't going to be the most traumatic five months of my entire life but i feel a duty to honor her with action right now I'm a storyteller and the only thing I can do is share the love that we had

49:29 I don't like it. I don't like talking about contracts that he signed and you wish she could have not signed the contract He also says something kind of cold-blooded that is a storyteller No, but just before that go play it again played again Let me see if I can get off that first bit was just to get in the mood for him Okay here we go. I mean I woke up this morning and I Was staring at the hotel ceiling? Wishing that I could return this contract that I sign Alright, is that the part or after? No the next thing. Okay. Uh... That she was gonna be here with me that we were going to have our life together and then this wasn't going To be the most traumatic five months of my entire life Isn't that strange She was gonna be here with me It wasn't gonna- The contract what is he talking about He says he signed a contract if it's a metaphor for your fate in life

50:20 Then you say, hey I got a bum deal. Why is she going to be there with him at this event? And why a contract? That we were going to have our life together and that this wasn't going to be the most traumatic five months of my entire life Maybe he... I don't know. It's just, I find that to be a very poor metaphor to use about your dead girlfriend and you had a contract and you signed it- Also sounded cold blooded the way he was describing it. What is saying? Like he made a deal with the devil! He said, I wish I hadn't signed this contract then she would have been here with me. At the hotel ceiling wishing that I could return this contract that I've signed. Whoa... Sorry, I don't like it

51:00 Well, I know you don't care but i don't like it. All right so the to me the most dangerous part of what the president did is not that anything really changed...I mean all these executive actions were just saying hey we got to enforce what we already have on the books which is the expansion of the national instant criminal background check system And now, here is what has changed in the HIPAA laws because that's really what this is about. The HIPAA laws protect the privacy of every individual in the United States who has a medical health record but any health record really so they cannot be used to put you on I don't know...a list

51:46 And here is the change made to part 164 of U.S Code 1302A and there's a couple others, and it is now marked as 164.512 uses and disclosures for which an authorization or opportunity to agree or object is not required. And this is for disclosing information to the National Incident Criminal Background Check System A covered entity, and we'll get to that may use or disclose protected health information for purposes of reporting to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. The identity of an individual who is prohibited from possessing a firearm under 18 U.S. Code 922 G4 which I have for you provided the covered entity is a state agency or other entity that is or contains an entity that is

52:36 An entity designated by the state to report or which collects information for purposes of reporting on behalf of the state, to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Or so I think this is more important any entity designated by the state to report or which collects information for purposes of reporting on behalf of the state to the background check system. Or it could be a court a board, a commission or other lawful authority that makes the commitment or adjudication that causes an individual to become subject to 18 U.S.C 922 and also these entities discloses the information only to the National Incident Criminal Background Check System or... or an entity designated by the state's report on which it collects information so they can go two ways

53:26 So, it can be reported back to these entities who have been designated by the state. Whatever that is! That could be anybody I guess and it discloses only the limited demographic and certain other information needed for purposes of reporting to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System Now this isn't... The only thing that's really changed here is you're now allowed and I believe we will see that You are required To report a person who is- And here's the legal term adjudicated as mental defective and this is that 18 USC 922 G4 persons adjudicated as a mental defective or committed to a mental institution. A person is

54:11 adjudicated as a mental defective if the court, board commission or other lawful authority has made a determination that person as result of marked subnormal intelligence mental illness incompetency condition or disease is a danger to himself for others lacks the mental capacity to contract and manage his own affairs was found insane by court in criminal case or is found incompetent to stand trial So when you take incompetency, condition, disease... Now disease? Autism. It's a disease! It's in the DSM-5 If you are on this spectrum and I think pretty much every kid today is on the spectrum that should be reported into any of these entities it can't be reported and you will be put on a list That is what is going on now how does how does that propagate The first example came to us from our friend

55:12 Throm Hartman. Craig Bannister, who's been on this program a number of times—it's been awhile since Craig was on—he asked the question are climate skeptics too mentally ill to buy guns under Obama's new rules? And I'm inclined to say yes! Yeah! This is where we're going people! Stand back you want to hear his reasoning for him to say yes? Oh yeah he points out that uh... the current law and prohibits individuals from buying a gun if because of mental health issues they are either danger to themselves or others any goes on this logic chain james is okay if president as president obama has repeatedly claimed climate change is greater threat than terrorism there are people who deny it climate threat is a danger to do

55:56 deny the climate threat. Aren't those people a danger to themselves and others, and thus unfit to own guns? And Craig Banister then goes on to point out that he's not the first guy to think of this. Psychology Today published an article back in 2012... I'm sorry 2014 titled You Are In Climate Change Denial Three Signs To Look For and number one using climate change is bad but not that bad to you don't have an emotional reaction climate change three you are getting political last craig banister writes if you think the climate threat is great enough in your not furious about her young politically active in a client for even mental issues yeah i'm gonna telegraph newspaper it was announced on mental disorders by this early explains how so-called eco psychologists convened at the university of

56:38 of the west of england and bristol to explore identifying or classifying climate change denial as a mental disorder and then he'd be very close to gina mccarthy's uh... e p h e thunder obama earlier on missing climax kevin sir normal people so correct maybe Maybe, maybe this is where this is what's gonna happen. That is the sickest thing that I'm gonna actually give you borderline clip of the day for that play in that a-hole Oh, that's very kind of you. I didn't even expect that but i will take a borderline Got a note from the head mofo in charge Sir hmfic black knight of the us army and he had a few thoughts Now these are guys You know the head mofo and you know this is our drill sergeant these guys know what's going on with veterans

57:29 current enlisted personnel. When looking at the new executive actions, the big one that sticks out to me is the mental health reporting part. My main concern with mental health reporting provisions is twofold first you now can have a constitutional right stripped without due process as a judge does not have to view the medical evidence and make a determination to adjudicate your mentally defective fantastic point Yes. And that is for your constitutionally protected natural right, let's put it that way. If you piss off your VA shrink they can report you as being unfit and the government will take their word for it without any evidence required what happens if every vet with a PTSD diagnosis that has sought or is receiving treatment is reported as unfit by the VA and now they lose their rights? Second

58:13 How many vets and those who need help are now not going to seek it out of fear of being stripped of the constitutional rights they've fought to uphold and defend? What effect will this have on a warfighter, on warfighter suicide as they're now afraid to get help from resources that exist for them. Yeah! Dynamite And that's probably one of the main targets because you know vets are all crazy white guys And they all just want to go kill people. Actually most of them probably aren't white, no but you know for the point of the ill-informed who create laws... Yeah I know this is a disaster It is a huge disaster this mandatory reporting uh-uh

59:01 Well, there's a good... the pressure is going to increase and I have some thoughts about this and the way it works. And it's all based on these lies that I mentioned earlier but play my clip on one of the networks. Let's see which one is it? It's the only other clip I got. ABC... gun report on ABC leading to conclusions. A gun shows just like this one over the weekend in Virginia, hundreds of firearms are sold often with no background check. This is considered an assault weapon. Sales brisk and part of that executive action planned by the White House. Obama's are easier. Virginia today not much different

1:00:00 from when 2020 watched as the brother of one of the Virginia Tech massacre victims trying to raise awareness of a loophole, legally buying an armful of guns at a Virginia gun show with no background check. Went up to him how much you want for 450 bucks here's the cash thanks see ya later but tonight the executive order being considered would affect many of those sellers who supplement their income with gun sales calling on them to register its federal firearms dealers this is not going to solve every violent crime in this country. It's not going to prevent every mass shooting, it will potentially save lives." Critics took aim even before the details came out. Now this president wants to act as if he is a king

1:00:43 And Pierre is with us now live. Pierre, the White House has heard this argument before but this proposed executive order on gun shows would not have prevented the purchase of guns used in many of the recent shooting rampages including San Bernardino? That's right David, The Gun Show loophole would not have affected most of the recent mass shooters Those sales typically were through federal gun dealers and background checks were in fact done. David Alright Pierre Thomas live at our Washington Bureau tonight. Thank you Now...this The anti-gun thing has been a slow process. It's taken a long time and the finale to it is not going to be Obama, it's gonna probably Hillary or somebody after her. Yes this...just looking at the Bundy being placed right on time, looking at the executive action, looking at the town hall, looking at his final State of Union speech and he just wants to say I did what Congress didn't do? But I did it! It do.

1:01:40 Didn't do didn't do it. I did what Congress didn't do you wouldn't do he? Anyway, so this continues on and we have to end this is against the background of lessened gun violence by an extreme and more guns in play yeah And the fact that none of these things, the terror watch list... Oh they shouldn't get guns. None of these things would have if all was in play none would have any effect on any of the events that took place which are the mass shootings. This leads to the following sort of speech to be given by somebody in the future you know it's not gonna be in time for Obama say here's what we've done

1:02:21 in the light of all this increased violence and these mass shootings, and we just had another one let's say. We've done all these things." Clearly, all these things we've done is not enough! We must do more. And then they bring in more stuff to do more... So this is an attempt to confiscate all the guns in the country. And it's gonna take forever but maybe it's going to be on its way But it is already talked about going in and grabbing guns from the criminally insane or the insane. No you already have it in California Yeah, yeah by the way just highlighting from hit the rule

1:03:00 His rules, the rule specifically prohibits the disclosure of diagnostic or clinical information for medical records or other sources and any mental health information beyond the indication that the individual is subject to federal mental health prohibitor. So you know that comes back to your rights being... Howard Baetjer You can't even have a trial on that! Mike No no they just say you're not stable And, you know... This is just the beginning. Because once you are deemed not fit mentally, your mental hygiene is not clean enough for you to have a gun before you know it's going to be probably shouldn't be around children You probably shouldn't live near school. You know? You probably should go to the mall

1:03:53 And you should wear this star on your jacket. I always love the star bit, it's the best! If you want to know what really is behind this let's ask the actual 44th President of the United States Ms Valerie Jarrett who did interviews? Now she is an advisor to the president But she's out there doing interviews with the flag and the presidential seal in the background. And you know, she's standing there like she is el presidente! We lose 30 000 people a year... 30 000 a year that's less than automobiles to gun violence two-thirds of those through suicide That is something that I think needs to be discussed Yes, in fact when he said that I was listening to one of these things and I didn't realize that 2 out of 3 of these It's suicide

1:04:37 or deaths, or suicide which means that the gun violence only accounts for 10 thousand. Not 30 thousand but they say well you know if it wasn't for the gun they wouldn't have killed themselves which doesn't make any sense at all! That's the part that I don't understand why? If someone wants to kill themself... Well there is this thing and i know what some of these arguments are one of them If someone wants to kill them so they can slit their wrists, well a lot of times you can catch them while they're still bleeding to death and stop it and save them. And then they won't want to die or they can take pills. Well, a lot of times that doesn't work. And then they wake up in the hospital. But then you're already where you want to be if you're contemplating suicide and you take pills boom no guns for you!

1:05:24 Which you know guns for you no guys anyone guns anyway boom? No gun or they jump off the bridge sometimes. They can live through that With a gunshot to the head you can actually sometimes live through that too. I mean Brady the Reagan's Some of the Clintons friends needed two shots in the head to die so yeah, well he was committing suicide Yeah And did it with a gun in his left hand even though it was right-handed and let's But if two-thirds are suicides, it just doesn't... that really throws a... yeah. It doesn't help the debate. I think they kept coming up in the conversation too much and they had to actually reveal it." But it's interesting on Facebag, I see these conversations crop up about suicide and people will say, well were they killed by a gun or not? Yeah but is suicide... bro doesnt matter! Its a gundef!

1:06:18 I have seen the exact same lame argument. It makes the assumption that if it wasn't for guns, they wouldn't feel like or commit suicide. Suicidal person. You know they just want to kill themselves and then the gun's handy and use the gun because it's effective. Effective is the word. It's not necessarily cleaner? No but its not a mess you have to clean up! Yeah the morgue guys do that for ya. You don't have to worry. So, you know. There it is! It's... there's nothing really new except for the exclusionary measures for the HIPAA regulation which in general you should always be extremely worried about your many health... We're going to take the logic of this through a kind of dystopic extreme

1:07:12 And I think the Tom Hartman clip fits right into this. If you're going to actually...seriously, these guys weren't joking. Guy wrote the essay in Hartman that if you have doubts about climate change and man-made global warming And you can be considered insane. You could be...I know people, and you know them and have dinner with them, people that would say how could you vote for that guy? You must be insane! You should be on a list." They're going to report me. So it becomes a political lever at some point where you have to think a certain way

1:07:49 lockstep, vote a certain way or you get on a list. And that list starts with guns and it goes on to other things as you mentioned so you pretty much...why don't just throw people in the gulag and get it over with? That is the idea. Just take into account how many people are on SSRIs in the United States, how many people are on Oxy. I mean we're talking 50-60 million for sure The actual number in 2012 was I think 110 million US adults. Maybe there's double prescriptions in there, it doesn't matter! Every single one of you not allowed to own a firearm. You can take the vote away from these people too by the way But its not about...I think is not about guns Why should the insane be allowed to vote? Thank you! There it is

1:08:40 It's all about what you can do once you're on the mental health deficiency list, which we fit in with ODD. Oppositional Defiance Disorder it is an actual disorder. These guys make a joke... It also amounts to the short phrase for it would be questioning authority Yep You do that? Yeah, you're out! No right to vote no this or that let the corrupt politicians take over the place This is horrible Obama and this whole group, and all the people that subscribe to this crap should be ashamed of themselves because they're not thinking clearly. They're thinking short-term feel good short term me me things in fact talking about me I do have a clip it's not as well done as i would do

1:09:25 But it's a clip of Obama apparently in that entire speech he gave, he just said mostly... About me. I think it is 76 times and 30 minutes or whatever? Mark, I want to thank you for still remembering this. the first time we met, the time we spent together. The conversation that we had and that changed me my hope earnestly has been to change the country It wasn't the first time I've had to talk to the nation in response to a mass shooting nor would it be the last. The last time i met with Mark which made me feel kind of bad. I was there with Gabby when she was still in hospital and we didn't think... And at visit right before memorial about hour later

1:10:05 Gabby first opened her eyes. So I told him and then I think of all the Americans who aren't as fortunate And as I've said before but I know the pain that she and her family have endured Thursday, I'm gonna hold a town hall meeting my goal here...I'm not on the ballot again. I'm not looking to score some points. I think we can disagree now want to be absolutely clear I've said this over and over again There's a ritual about this whole thing that I have to do I believe in In the second amendment, no matter how many times people try to twist my words I talk constitutional law. I know a little about it. I get it! But also believe that we can find ways to reduce gun violence consistent with the second amendment. I reject that thinking Now I want to be clear Congress still needs to act We're also taking steps...we're going hire more folks and bring an outdated background check system into the 21st century but we also can't wait

1:10:55 There are actions within my legal... God, why don't I play it at the end of the show? It's just-it goes on forever. The guy is unbelievable! Yeah and let's all remember when you... He should be on the list When you play Yes We Can backwards Thank You Satan There ya go Just reminding everybody When you play Yes We Can backwards Thank You Satan Thank You Satan Just saying Don't wanna be called crazy or anything They're coming to take my guns away if i say im cryzy Cryyzy Yeah, you know I'm glad you're not on twit those fuckers would report you in a second. He's crazy he takes us off the rails Lock him up no guns for him. You don't know you have gone. I'm sure you have gun somewhere course yeah of course American

1:11:38 Uh, yeah. So to me the only thing that is... you know screw these rules of fine whatever that means nothing there are already rules on the books it's just expanding the time we can have background checks who cares? He's certainly pointing out he's doing nothing new since some law from 1961 No these are existing regulations and laws and he's just saying we should look at them now I guess but the HIPAA thing that violates It violates the whole, you know. Do the insurance companies now of course have your information? Do they look at your information and go yeah this guy is probably not gonna be able to have a gun so he lives in Texas which probably raises rates a little bit because he might just go crazy and get one anyway. Well they use any excuse to raise your rates that's good but the implications of this are so...and this is really not okay

1:12:33 Why I don't go to the doctor? Alternatives. All right, Quessington. Well, I think we've beat that. Yeah there's not much more we can do about it but it will be fun to watch the town hall. Oh yeah you'll get to have that grill It's getting pretty bad though The Twitters is mostly...it's about time! I actually have just got up to Tina sometimes and say just hold me I've been reading Facebag Just hold me for a little bit I'm really not feeling so well about it Anyway Sir Chris did text me this morning on his way To the town hall and he said I'm definitely gonna if I get the mic. I'll have my night ring on in my Mike hand And I'll slip in and in the morning for sure Chris is the kind of guy who might actually get to Mike you know yeah, because he's the kind of guy well with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John son

1:13:22 C stands for constitutional scholar, Dvorak. And I want to thank PewDiePie who came through once again. You know, we had these debates like oh it's this guy again but it's the best art It's the best art for the moment and he did a great job for episode 787 our very last Mile High Club Episode Climate Deaths was the title and the album art was The Help Wanted ad which I thought was really nice I like that help wanted for an event in six weeks must be trusting person willing to take risks contact Jay Comey

Um we do have one person to thank for being in an executive producer Wow okay, and that's it It's been crowded crapped out after the thing so we have Sir C. Nonamus, in the interest of anonymity I'd like to be known henceforth as Sir C. Nonamus. I changed banks and my monthly recurring bank check did not transfer over as such my one two triple three donation stopped here's the balance of what i missed plus a few new years bonus thanks for keeping us all sane wishing you and he gave us four hundred thirty-two dollars and ten cents he's in Auburn Pennsylvania

1:15:10 Thanks for keeping us all sane, wishing you both the best for New Year's and thank you for your...for the best podcast in universe. This donation kicks me up to Baron. I'd like to have a barony over Pennsylvania's coal region." I don't think that was taken yet. Although we do have the Shikshini royalty, the Greers, but I think it's okay. They should get together really! We have also, I want to mention that...I don't think he wants to be anonymous. Let me just get this. He had some debate over

1:15:49 Who is this? Well, did we get Kevin Dills' baronet. I think we got that covered but there's this guy Brian Wojtek who apparently has his accounting for knighthood but somehow it got missed and then I told Eric to put in on today's list he didn't do that. I don't know if you've got... I have Sir Kevin Dills who becomes a Baronette Is that what your talking about? Yeah we have that And then Wojtek becomes Sir Brian the Blue Knight Oh okay so we have Wojtek Okay, but that's it. That's it we have one executive producer and that's it for yeah Let's say we don't have a it was not a big showing I think the newsletter that I think the newsletter failed well You know and I have thoughts on ya polar bears WTF dude you want to roll with little rodents? Well there could be the rodent element. I think it was the rodent element

1:16:43 I think there was a couple of things in there that could have been a fail. One of them was about the tears, fake tears or faux-tears which may upset people and then I linked to this very upsetting clip of Glenn Beck making himself cry with Vicks VapoRub Yeah. And he puts it under his eyes and he just gets all... I give this, I give our president credit. I think he's very capable of making himself cry. I don't see any reason to think it was fake. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter! No, it doesn't matter the whole thing is... The real key to this whole thing was the Tom Hartman clip. There's one more thing that a memorandum that has only been summarily discussed. I'm sorry to bring it up

1:17:38 this late, he wrote a memorandum promoting smart gun technology. These were the three things. So it was background checks mental hygiene and smart gun technology and he's putting I think 15 million dollars into researching smart gun technology. Well this could lead to only get the only legal gun has to be a smart gun then there's your confiscation yeah Yeah, you got anything else? It's gotta be. So you'll have a bracelet on and then the weapon won't activate until the bracelet have you ever tried this? And it will be your Wi-Fi bracelet. No no no it'll be Bluetooth. Every time you shoot the gun it will get reported to the police. It will be Bluetooth and you're gonna have to pair each time hold on a second 0000 Your watch! The Apple Watch there ya go your smart gun will be paired to your Apple Watch You probably buy your smart gun at the Apple store

1:18:34 An apple gun. Eye gun! The eye gun You know, we're laughing but it ain't that crazy It could happen I want to give Sir Synonymous a round of karma there for helping us out today And being our sole executive producer Januaries are always rough this one starts off that way Yeah well... A shame We will have another show on Sunday And we do hope you'll remember us and support us because we are the only ones who can really give you full-on unabashed analysis without fear of being fired, mainly. Just being fired... Yeah, fired! Without being fired I got a clip about that coming up after this. Being fired or not, you always have a responsibility to propagate the formula Our formula is this We hit people in the mouth Shut Up Slave

1:19:39 I was waiting for him to show up because we've seen the... and we've heard the clips of trying to intermingle, uh, the Muslim conversation with black Americans. And this is being done partially through Rita Katz's Discovered videos which now include an edit with Trump inserted, which was to rile up black Americans or immigrants in Minnesota. We kind of deconstructed that as being one of the main reasons for this

1:20:17 combination being made between black Americans and Muslims. And finally, we're waiting for him Louis Farrakhan who is black American Muslim he leads the the Muslim what does it? What does he lead the Nation of Islam nation of Islam which is a I think if you were a Sunni radical or Salafist you would not approve these people but he made a short statement about a minute and a half, which was multiple angles. Particularly about mainstream media but also Donald Trump of course. Mr. Trump is tearing away the skin of the onion of white civility and the more he pulls that skin of that onion back He's beginning to show something in the character of the whites who follow him

1:21:18 that they don't care what he says. He could say one thing this minute, another thing the next minute and you could see that the man has a little problem but he is exacerbating the race situation in America and I will guarantee you if he becomes president If he becomes president, he'll take America exactly where America is heading. He'll take you there on a rocket ship." How can a man say? He's not a thug! He's a diplomat, he's the president we're going to Iraq and we are just take the oil see that's the thug coming out That's part of nature...of The Beast

1:22:10 that's manifesting. Well, if he becomes your president you'll be just like him and you know what the scripture says? Pharaoh was talking before his demise and he openly said me and my people are wicked! And when you get leadership that is not rooted injustice, then they begin to make the people just like themselves. Be careful America you're headed into the abyss of hell and if you make a mistake in choosing your leaders maybe you'll go there faster." Yeah I thought this included another bit where he's telling mainstream media they're too afraid to report for their jobs but well maybe it's somewhere else yeah it's around here somewhere

1:23:04 I'll find a dog that yeah, it's not what I wanted. I thought he's sorry All right well then let me bring you let me bring your home doesn't like Trump Let me so let me bring your hopes back up Bring your hopes back up okay the view oh God mm-hmm Yeah, the view the view should be preceded with The view Joy Behar on deck this time And, of course in the conversation there is about Bill Clinton and his womanizing. Oh this should be a jam. Yeah it really is. Now you'd expect any program that deals with women that women host and I don't know if women produce the whole thing but I'm sure they have a hand in it these women there...I think they would speak very strongly against anyone

1:24:05 You know, who has been admitted to and has been implicated in poor abusive women. Just abusive behavior. Abusive behavior. Surprisingly or not surprisingly we got a different message. Yes Juanita Broderick Kathleen Willey and they say that he either exposed himself to them rape them or grope them again these are three accusations This is nothing to do with Hillary running for president No it doesn't He's denied all of those. It puts her in a bind, on the other hand it is for policies that really matter like Republicans have voted against the Violence Against Women Act now that to me is more important than anything Bill Clinton did or didn't do because its what she going to vote for how shes gonna lead the country matters more then that. On the other hand he is a dog

1:24:55 dog let's face it. Teddy Kennedy remember Chapaquiddick? Am I the oldest person in the world? No, I remember her! A girl drowns and he abandons her and he drowned that women still voted for Teddy Kennedy why because he voted for women's rights that's why that's the bottom line of it in my opinion I mean I don't like either one of them to tell you the truth Teddy or Bill but they're both dogs as far as I'm concerned but I still will vote for Bill Clinton So, I guess what she's saying is that I will vote for Hillary Clinton because she has the right policies that I believe in despite the fact that she publicly excoriated women for coming out and saying Bill Clinton sexually abused me. And she would be first to say in her women's mode you cannot immediately make the victim guilty.

1:25:50 and say you're lying, you have to take every single accusation seriously which is the exact opposite of what the Clintons did consistently. But no because Bill Clinton votes for things that she wants and presumably Hillary does it doesn't matter And she would vote for Bill Clinton even though he's a dog So you could take that logic to an extreme and say he's a criminal embezzler, steals from the public coffers. He's a crook and murderer. He shoots people. They come into their office, he just shoots them but it's okay because she votes for the right thing. Yeah so yeah...so she would also be balled in for ED-Amen.

1:26:31 Or Stalin, for that matter. He voted the way she wanted so it doesn't make any difference to the rest of it. Or Angela Merkel! Definitely Angela Merkel. And in case you didn't hear, it went extremely underreported New Year's Day and a couple days afterward But there was a huge problem in Cologne other cities in Germany as well as women were attacked abused raped robbed Close of 90 complaints and it was and it was all the immigrants that had gone nuts

1:27:08 According to the reports, but you know unless we have some feet on the ground I'm wondering about any of this. Oh, I've got nothing but lots of boots-on-the-ground reports confirming this okay good Yeah And and really people are very under reported yes Germany's interior minister criticized the police is slow response to the violence and said authorities must do better in the future We still do not have a clear picture as to who may be behind the crimes that we have awesome clues The actions of the perpetrators are not acceptable. With Germany now announcing the country took in about 1,1 million asylum seekers in 2015 the New Year's Eve incidents are causing many to criticize Angela Merkels open arms policy but authorities say there are no indications refugees were involved

1:27:58 Meanwhile, Cologne's mayor is under fire for suggesting women need to be more careful. Women would also be smart not to go and embrace everyone that you meet and who seems to be nice such advances could be misunderstood Don't wear sexy clothing! And that is something every woman and every girl should protect herself from Unbelievable The classic the police are very very sure that these were immigrants by the way almost a hundred women have reported being robbed assaulted and sexually molested But the government has warned against putting foreigners and refugees under what they call blanket suspicion This is great. This is the European thinking pattern people know you shouldn't be thinking Oh, don't but don't accuse migrants no

1:28:46 Increasingly under pressure over immigration policies, even from within her own political fold the German Chancellor has been attempting to answer her critics. Today she said it was important to achieve a noticeable reduction in the flow of refugees Protesters have been condemning violence against women after the New Year's Eve attacks, while police say three suspects have so far been identified. This victim says all of a sudden these men around us began groping us they touched our behind and grabbed between our legs they touched us everywhere

1:29:22 When I turned around, one guy grabbed my bag and ripped it off me. This woman says they felt like they had power and could do anything with the women who were out in the street partying They touched us everywhere It was so horrible As Angela Merkel expressed shock over the attacks The mayor of Cologne said there was no reason to believe that perpetrators were refugees No reason whatsoever. I love it when the CNN girl got raped in, was it CNN? In Egypt. 60 Minutes. Of course everyone believes it! But you know what you do? You don't believe the women when they say it happened. Don't believe them. Do you know if there are migrants?

1:30:06 Yeah, you're not absolutely sure they may look like migrants. It doesn't mean they are migrants. Now my kid is coming over on the 15th but I don't think i'm gonna let her go back She lives in Rotterdam You know this is uh these things that you're going to see this this behavior...I have a gay daughter in Rotterdam she is yelled at they say horrible things and when I say they I'm talking about Muslims specifically Moroccans in Rotterdam. They accost her, she had a real issue like group of 15 year old boys standing around going FICKY FICKY FICKY which is you know do you want to fuck me? That's all they can and then yeah she did what I for the first time very proud of her. You know there may be 10-11 kids 15 16 year olds now Christina is not she's five

1:31:02 What is she, 5'4", 5'5"? No. She's not very tall but she just looked at the kid closest to her and she walloped him and they all left but you know this is real. You didn't arrest her for assault? This could happen so I'm just saying this stuff is real it really does happen well and the blinders on...you know It's a different culture this cultural integra- oh by the way I don't know why i started on it but, I was in what I guess we're in the show hole. I'm up to date on all the shows have been looking at and I decided you know what the heck? I'm just gonna because I know the guy...I saw him a couple times on TV recently hung out his apartment once or twice little Steven Steve Van Sant did this series Lilyhammer Have you ever watched this? No This is a must watch season one for sure which was last year 2014

1:31:59 And the storyline is funny by itself. He's a gangster, he gets put in the witness protection program, he chooses Lillehammer because he loves the Winter Olympics there and he starts kind of a criminal thing up there in the mountains of Norway But the subplot throughout the whole series is integration, is immigration integration. So he winds up through a number of scams running an immigrant integration center and the problems between Muslim immigrants, and remember this is 2014. It was probably made in 2013 so it's kind of early on but also the issues of the native population not understanding not getting what they're about Dynamite show to watch if only for the subplot by itself really well worth it Where is this up here? Netflix Oh Yeah Netflix

1:32:55 And the sub is so good because it gives you a real view, which I deem to be pretty accurate of how this integration is working or really not working and the stupid things they make these people do and how the immigrants themselves feel belittled and pushed into a corner before they can do anything. These integration projects are everywhere in Europe and I've seen it fail over the past 16 years. It's non-trivial No, it's very non-trivial. But it also gives you an insight into the moronic thinking of well we have to integrate these people and they have to learn our culture... They don't give a shit! It's not that you just do that like okay if you want to live here this is how you're going to now think no doesn't work that way. It's also just a very funny series yeah I think he'd like it as kind of sopranos in the snow. I'll examine it. Sopranos In The Snow

1:33:52 So, anyway back to the Trump. You mentioned Trump so I want to get my Trump stuff out of the way. So, Trump came out with an advertisement that had a clip in it of you know bitching about immigrants and it was a clip that turned out... Yeah from? ...it got busted for over and over again by everybody. The Moroccan border. And he handled this so poorly that I have real doubts about whether this campaign can contribute or could continue on even keel and I wanna discuss it. Okay. Let's start with the ABC report on Trump Oops, hold on. Yes here we go. President Clinton being asked about Donald Trump and tonight Trump is being asked about a piece of video shown in his first political ad out today. In it talking about building a wall on the Mexican border and in the ad you can see people running for the border but it turns out that piece of video is not here in the US they're the same images from a video posted in 2014 of migrants in Morocco

1:34:47 Tonight, how does the Trump campaign explain this? ABC's Tom Yamas on the trail as well. I'm Donald Trump and I approve this message. Tonight Donald Trump out with his first TV ad and that striking image of people scrambling like ants across a mountainous border. And he'll stop illegal immigration by building a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for. It turns out that video is not from our southern border at all it's from 5,000 miles away in Morocco Tonight, the Trump campaign telling ABC News they used Morocco images on purpose quote to demonstrate the severe impact of an open border and a very real threat Americans face. But watchdog website PolitiFact which first reported the story gives the ad a pants-on fire rating on its truth scale it was Trump's immigration crackdown that first rocketed him into the lead And you know we're gonna build a wall We're gonna have a real border and Mexico is going to pay for the wall

1:35:44 and they'll say thank you, thank you very much. Now his new ad highlights the latest Trump promise in the headlines. That's why he is calling for a temporary shutdown of Muslims entering the United States. Trump sticking to the hard line that took him to the top and kept him there But David, Trump's critics say the Morocco video in his ad highlights how he plays fast and loose with the facts And more importantly they point to recent studies that show more Mexicans leaving the US then coming in Now, a couple of things. I have three clips about this one in this particular clip they said that they meant to use this it's B-roll is what would be called right? They meant to use this yeah Of course not there's no evidence and there's nobody that said they can we back at him one second To say that the genius thing about what initially was done. Of course This wasn't a mess you know mistake

1:36:42 The genius thing is I don't think they bought any airtime anywhere. They say here's our ad and then everybody plays it, but they don't need to buy any air time to put it on the air. I have not seen this run anywhere on television except being discussed as his ad that should air on television. Well...I would ask any of our Iowa producers to let us know if they've seen it, because this would not run anywhere you'd see it. This would be running in Iowa and New Hampshire. Well I'm...because I've seen a lot of Bush ads here in Texas for the first time really! That's because Bush has got all his money he's gotta spend there is no reason in the world Bush should be running ads in Texas

1:37:23 I mean just as a sum of it. You know what i'm saying? Yep, all right you know what i'm saying? I hear ya boy Trump on ABC1 blast Hillary 1 Okay Trump ABC1 blast Hillary one answer when asked if there's a difference between Bill Clinton and And Bill Cosby, who's been accused of rape by dozens of women. You'd almost have to ask Bill Clinton that question it would be a very interesting question for somebody to ask him. Well you know he certainly has a lot of very strong charges against him and that's pretty bad stuff Trump says the Clintons started it when Hillary called them sexist I'm gonna let him live in his alternative reality and I'm not going to respond

1:38:02 Hillary Clinton! But today, there was no mistaking her target. We should not reward people who use inflammatory rhetoric who use the kind of derogatory comments whether it's about Muslims or Mexicans or women or people with disabilities whoever it might be but as Trump mocks the Clintons if let's say Hillary is president... yeah it's not like she doesn't use this disparaging language against him all the time oh no she constantly all the time But that's okay, this is the way you do it. This is the way you play the game." So this was ABC of course and this is the second clip coming up where they bring up this other... They bring up the bad B-roll with a different conclusion and kind of a different report which I thought was more believable but then after that plays we should discuss what was

1:38:54 how this was actually really screwed up and how it could have been dealt with better. Like that was just video footage. It's just display of what our country is going to look like. However, this morning Trump's attorney calling it a mistake. Yeah I'm gonna have a conversation with whoever made the mistake But tonight that longtime Trump staffer eating his words saying the campaign didn't make a mistake after all. Can I make an observation?

1:39:37 Go we know pathological liars, then I think Hillary Clinton is pathological. I think they all most of them are pathological Trump no exception This is what you do In music business who say if you can't cover it up turn it up and he does exactly what he did Well there's a couple things in this report one at the very end of the report The guy says they now admit that they made a mistake on As though they didn't admit it earlier? They always admit. Eating his words, saying the campaign didn't make a mistake after all! There was no evidence that he ever said it would not make a mistake now The other report where they said he did on purpose That's possible if they... I think that was just ABC covering up their bad reporting But the question..the way should have been handled and I guess some pathological liars can do it right

1:40:32 Trump would, you know first of all when I look at this I think dirty trick. You're working with a creative ad agency that put this thing together, and it's probably unlikely to find anyone who is pro-Trump. And it was probably somebody slipped this in thinking...and then released the information that was from five—all reports say the same thing—from 5,000 miles away. It's like a meme. And so you'd put this thing together just to screw Trump over? Yeah. I think that would be a genius dirty trick and I think it's outstanding. The way that the Trump campaign should have handled it was admit up to say we didn't know this is good, that this is gonna be... We ordered this thing. We ordered a clip of the Mexican border they gave us this. I agree! That would have been the smart way to handle it

1:41:18 Yeah, and this is what we got. I don't know if it was... You know what's happened? I'm never again using Chiatday! Screw those guys! Yeah! That's what I'd say. Absolutely that's exactly what you do. Omnicom, I'm going WPP next time. Something like that and you just throw it right back at the advertising agency to put the thing together but be honest. Instead of going oh well we just drove in there so apologizing for these douchebags when use ridiculous When you saw the video for the first time I, my immediate response was. I need to see where this video is from! Yeah that was my immediate response yeah it looked like a bunch of people it looked like the fall of Saigon or something which is completely wrong so either they're insane over there and you know Trump saw it because it starts off with I approve this message so he saw it not necessarily you know what I'm saying

1:42:11 That's what it sounds like, but I really even wonder if you know. I could see him. I could see him. That's great! That's great this is huge! It's gonna be great!! I don't know. He's not, doesn't seem really to me like much of a micromanager and when you get that guy that lawyer says, I'm going to talk to these guys who did this...I mean that guy sounds like a mob lawyer! They're all mob guys are you kidding? Yeah they are. They're all goombas. What was the guy we had? This guy, this is lawyer wow i don't want him talking to me what was that uh we had the trump goomba Yeah, this one. Here we go. We're all doing our part. We're all- We're all doing our part! That's the Goombas on the ground. We're all doing our part! Uh huh... Hey you know?

1:43:02 So this was a fiasco and I don't know what kind of meetings you're going to have. But, I don't think it's not... Meanwhile... Not gonna break his campaign? No it's not gonna break anything. Breaking anything. So meanwhile ABC who is the network that... Forget about it! The video forget about it! Is the Bush They don't, they blast Hillary when they can and they blast everybody but Bush. But I think they may be slowly warming up to Ted Cruz. And a reminder that ABC is owned by Disney, Disney is in Florida, Florida Jeb Bush back and forth Governor Quid Pro Quo. That's why we think ABC is all on Jeb, but yes...

1:43:44 And so they've got to figure out what they're going to do if Jeb doesn't make it and doesn't look like he's going to. So they've got Ted Cruz, and this was ABC on Cruz... This is a very... It was almost like it was set up The way they did it with Bush is the same thing. There's an issue out there, we throw him a kind of softball that looks like hard ball, looks like fast slider you know that's gonna hit the guy but no its not and he comes back with beautiful response that explains all away and here's perfect example. Republicans and his conservative base were there when woman broke down in tears just talking to him

1:44:22 I think it was so much harder. But some Republicans worry Cruz is too polarizing, too unwilling to compromise with Congress to win in a general election How can you be a president and hate the Democrats, and hate the culture of Washington so much? And be effective. I don't hate the Democrats. It's Hillary Clinton who describes her quote enemies as Republicans As half of the country she considers her enemies. I don't hate the Democrats. And now Tom Yamas off the bus tonight live with us from Iowa. Donald Trump suggesting that Cruz go to court to clear up this issue of citizenship That's right, David Trump now saying a judge could put this whole issue to bed But Senator Ted Cruz is not taking the bait He just got off his bus and I just asked him again for a second time But he says this issue is settled if he's elected. He can become president David Tom Hmm yeah This this is curious was it that was a pro-cruz mm-hmm peace

1:45:14 Well, it's anti-trump piece at the same time. Yes kind of the whole point Trump thing at the very end and it was also anti Hillary Yeah Because they threw in the question about oh he go Cruz came over to heal anti Hillary comment that she thinks that Republicans are the enemy How is she gonna work? What what are your thoughts on ABC is fantastic at this though They're the best well you remember they said that Hillary had predicted the Isis video She was a she was you know, she's now a fortune as she they can see in the future. She predicted Donald Trump would be an ISIS video instead of her claiming it already happened so they cover up her tracks all the time What well they don't yeah what do you make of this? You're not a natural-born citizen. What is this? What kind of gambit is Trump running now I don't know because he they already you know The problem with Trump is he says things

1:46:08 on both sides of his own argument and they have all the clips. He hasn't come to the realization that whatever he says, they've got a clip saying just the opposite. And this was a more recent one, I don't have a copy but there is standing there like it's a year ago saying, oh there's no problem. Cruz is a natural born citizen because his mom was an American when she had him which is the fact it's true if your mom has a baby anywhere and she's an American that baby's American It's just simple or on the other hand if you're the moms not in America but she has to be in the United States and the baby's America we are pretty liberal And so he said that as very clearly said now he's saying I have no idea brings back

1:46:55 The birtherism thing he was on... Shall I tell you what i think it is? It's just to get everybody off talking about his video. That's it, just launch some other crazy things Well yeah the problem is that this birther thing came before the video But it really ratcheted up right now Maybe Hard to know It also may be drawing more attention, I think that Trump is in cahoots with Cruz. Yes yeah i would agree. Because they've always been never non... They don't bitch at each other and this is minor this not like him condemning, this is not like calling him weak or a whimp If anything it's bringing Cruz back into the spotlight thank you very much yes that's what I think is going on

1:47:45 And Trump's gonna bow out and he's gonna give his support to Cruz. You can put this in the book, but I'll put it in the book myself. It's book-worthy. Yeah, get Cruz some more attention and maybe the ABC guys will warm up too... New boots on the ground report from Cologne just so you know there were Syrians who are doing this not northern Africans According to the latest on the ground boots on the ground. That was always my assumption that it was mine, too Yeah But I think a lot of the reporting said northern Africans and they were doing anything to just draw it away from bad Syrians but apparently where was mainly Syrians

1:48:28 according to local Cologne, Köln reporting. Which means a very small minority were from North Africa but the majority who were checked were from Syria that is a live translation That's very good. How many podcasts do that for you? Huh, none just want to know okay well I have an entremonte we need one

1:49:07 Of course it could have been fake passports, but doesn't matter. This is an interesting... this was on... yeah fake passport from Syria. This is on the morning show with Charlie Rose who worked himself to death you know the guy's so tired. CBS he's tired and he's got a couple of... Do you think when only reason this is a good report because at the very end they go into a discussion of artificial intelligence and I was already taking over the place. Artificial intelligence is take show me one example, you're going to hear the words it's already here. Show me one example of true way it's already here and then you're gonna hear skip logic my friends skip law nor at the very end say after Charlie mumbles something that's already here where she says numb

1:49:56 Numb? She's saying uh-huh, but it comes out as the word numb if you ISO. Which is this Zuckerberg AI? Yes USA Today says Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants artificial intelligence in a Facebook post he says his personal challenge this year will be to build a simple AI To help him run his home It would control lights and temperature and help him monitor daughter Max Zuckerberg compares it to the Butler Jarvis from Iron Man. I thought we already had that kind of artificial intelligence in the home, that would change your lights and change a lot of things. Well yes, I think there are but artificial intelligence meaning it would know those things on its own or have a mind of its own about when to turn off the lights and sense those things is... It's coming isn't? Yeah yeah. Let's get rid of it! Or it's here! Are you sure she didn't say yum?!

1:50:51 I almost kept it as a clip, but she says numb. What are you saying? Coming in the... It is coming. Yeah. Let's get rid of it. Or it's here. It sounds like she's saying yum! No no, so the last thing if you stepped on this time. Okay alright, listen again. It's coming into... It is coming. Yeah. Get rid of it. Or it's here. Yum num she said it's numb no says numb It's coming numb This is not using numb for the affirmative, so just ask me something um AI is great num I'm numbing. I'm numbing good to say right? It sounds like you're saying yes But you're saying num num num num num num

1:53:30 Yeah, they always have.

We're going to remind people do a show coming up on Sunday is the short period of time between now and then devorek.org slash NA it'd be very useful to help us out here. And before we move on there's a meetup

2:03:11 in Bedford, Texas. That's the Dallas Fort Worth area and you can find it at meetup.com slash no agenda now this is a local MeetUp producers put together and of course they would like me to come here's what I've been thinking when i last checked there were not even 20 people signed up to go and for me because its on Saturday between 4-6pm Now this is uh... Joe Day Well, it is in show day. So here was my thinking since it's a three and a half hours at least for probably four hours haul on the trailer I got to go down and get it first in Buda so it's going to take me five and a half hours before I'm up there but then it would be... And I need that because I have to prep and I have to do the show on Sunday. I'm not taking risks with hotels. I know the air stream of consciousness will work. I've got the connectivity everything My thinking is I'll drive out for the meetup

2:04:10 But we need a couple more people. Let's make it... Well, give us the number! What do you think is right? 30. 30 people. There ya go. I think that's good. It might be a lot to ask for in such a small area. Yeah, 30 is good. Texas is not a small area. No, but that's a small town. If I can drive up from Austin then other people can do this and of course have to stay through Sunday because you know it's like a hotel the RV parks you gotta check out at noon. You gotta check out at noon. That won't work. International Park there? Can we just park in there?

2:04:46 Then you can't get the connect there's a problem. I looked at the parks a lot of them were washed out They all got you know alright he had that big storm yeah wreck from the storms But I'll be able to find some shit like I'll park in the Walmart parking lot, and I don't care Pretty normal now but they see that the main thing is because it's I know who decided why Saturday 4 p.m.. Four to six huh? Now it's my only one day off that Tina has the day off You know I got to get up early and go schlep this thing up to Dallas Well, at least you have a trailer to schlep. This is true. Do you mean my future abode? Future home Where i will be living Yeah Oh man I think so

2:05:31 Alright, let's finish this up with some requests of jobs and f-cancer karma. Jobs! Jobs! Jobs and jobs! Let's vote for jobs! All righty, and as John said remember we got that show coming up on a Sunday. And normally I'd hit the birthdays here but we don't have any birthdays We do have two title changes. Grim day! Very grim, yeah... January it's this is the year 2016 this is where it all goes downhill Well The way the stock market's going this may be the year that thing collapses But it shouldn't even though everything's up a year It could be but I don't think- This not the way works. It collapses after runup There's no run up That could be forthcoming to run up

2:06:21 Let's talk about in a second. We just finished the details here sir Kevin Dills becomes baronet today congratulations Sir CJ Cobbell becomes sir synonymous Sir synonymous Baron of the coal region, so we'll set that up in the In the peerage map and then we do have one night This is Brian Wojtek So we need him up on stage and we need your blade John. Yeah here it is okay alright Thank you very much, Sir Brian. We got you in there! We really do appreciate your support of the Best Podcasts in the University. The amount is $1,000 or more and I am therefore very proud to welcome you to the NOAA General Roundtable and pronounce the KV

2:07:04 the next one. which is always ready for all of our Knights at the Roundtable. And the dames, please go to noagenthenation.com slash rings and Eric put in a note here that Knight Rings are finally inbound we'll turn them around shortly after they arrive looking forward to that and all the tweets will receive from people What were you talking about just second ago? That I said want to come back too? I don't know but I have it look like this kind of stand alone yes

2:07:52 This is a story, and we've done this story I think a couple months ago. This began in August and now it's cropped back up on all the news outlets and it's particularly cropped back up on Democracy Now! And for the life of me, I can't figure out why? This is the story about the bad water in Flint Michigan. Oh, yeah? I'm sorry. That was your lead-in? Governor Rick Snyder is reportedly weighing whether to declare an emergency over contaminated water in the city of Flint. Governor Snyder apologized last week for the state's handling of the water crisis in Flint where residents have reported serious health problems due to elevated lead levels. The contamination began after an emergency manager appointed by Governor Snyder switched Flint's water source to the long polluted Flint River in a bid

2:08:41 to save money. In August, Governor Snyder helped deliver 1500 water filters to Flint even as state officials assured people the water was safe I don't have as long a story. Is this an EPA thing? How is this even a story, this is old news! I don't know, is it an EPA thing maybe there's something happening or some kind of... No, no reason for this being brought back into the news cycle. Is there some kind of election going on? I looked. Gubernatorial race maybe, you know? There's gotta be probably some local politics definitely got something to do with

2:09:20 Playing bigger on the on the liberal left-wing side than it is on the right wing science I don't know. It's beyond me, but I just thought you'd make people aware of it that we're really noticed it Yes not quite sure what does make of it have you been looking at to the CES coverage? I have not really paid any attention a little bit anything you see Well, I mean pretty much what everyone predicted. Everyone that's there says it miserable well It's CES it's always been miserable very miserable. I mean you don't like going to the show And I'm sure they don't have the chili cook-off anymore That was a comdex. Oh sorry There's a lot of little wheeling devices around What the newest one is the one with the big wheel in the middle?

2:10:12 Oh, you mean like hoverboard Segway to have a right uh-huh yeah I've seen these on the street in Austin. I've seen these for a kid Yeah, I have not ridden one But I think they look a lot better than the hoverboards that probably probably safer it probably there is a Lot of 4k TVs and I guess I'm sorry it's for K UHD isn't that I think we finally come to a consensus on what we're calling this technology And it's not whatever you want. It's for D UHD that is no call it Johnson Yeah, uh the ultra high definition and they're all over the place in there cheap yeah

2:10:54 And there's a bunch of people, oh you know this. You don't need it and can't even notice it if the thing is huge and all these things are cropped back up but then once they pretty much took over the place it's like nobody misses anything just by... I don't know, nothing. There's the UHD thing which is the next trend in televisions but that's going to be a tough sell because there will be no content for it at all. 4K is going to be difficult enough but... Well our Grand Duke has UltraFlix and it does exist

2:11:31 And he has a yes, he does and he has interstellar. Yeah that's 4k But I'm saying you HD which is the next big thing and it's got no anything going on and UHD is not UHC. I'm sorry HDR right high dynamic range and That'll be coming out probably take ought to be probably in a year You're gonna start seeing a few sets and then you're gonna start seeing more and this gives you Really brilliant pictures gorgeous, but it's gonna be very expensive It's gonna be power hungry and I guess drones is the other thing that see yes There's always been drones to see yes tons of them. Yeah always drones So cool, so cool drones are still cool. So cool self-driving cars. I don't see why anybody I don't know why anyone goes to that show for the free trip

2:12:24 Maybe. Oh, please! Oh yeah let's go to Vegas in the worst time of year when it is probably raining and it's flooded It can snow I was actually in Vegas once I was in Vegas when it snowed at CES It was a CS and it was probably the same one then Yeah It was snowing Right at the end of the day too as everyone walked out so you couldn't get a cab it was completely horrible Well I always rent If you're going to Vegas rent a car don't take cabs When I heard this news, which maybe you have more on it. The first thing that came to my mind was did we agree to sell some arms to South Korea? Where is the money and where is it flowing? This of course is the so-called hydrogen bomb test by North Korea

2:13:14 Still no evidence of course that this was an H-bomb as North Korea claims. Japan has sent two aircraft actually up to try to detect radiation, South Korean experts are casting doubt on these claims and so it'll take perhaps several days according to officials in the United States and elsewhere to confirm if indeed this was a hydrogen bomb but Clearly, whether it was an H-bomb or not the North Korean nuclear program is continuing to grow. And that is what's so alarming because on Friday it is Kim Jong Un's 33rd birthday whether the timing is coincidental and this was done as sort of early birthday present for the Supreme Leader we simply don't know but a thirty three year old with his hand at the button of a growing... There's your meme! A thirty three year old with his hand at the button

2:14:01 I'm telling you, they could any more just throw it in my face please. Well i have a couple of clips for this too because PBS brought a guy in from Los Alamos who is not a diplomat and he says so in one of his things and he came out...he was like this guy was like don't bring this guy back on again! It's the wrong line You know, he's questioning stuff. Let's listen to a couple of these things and but first I want to give you a heads up on...I have an ISO Yeah, I have it. It's two when one is the ISO Korea report? Play that Korea report ISO first Now this is the woman

2:14:45 Hold on. You can't just delay that on me and then just stop no no, I gotta hear that again That was dynamite She is the news anchor for the Korean main station or the only station This is your ringtone ladies and gentlemen. Just stop whatever you're doing And she dramatizes everything. And she sits there and she's way up in a kind of, way up higher than she should be and she's like... She's screaming everything in this kind of very emotional voice that's hilarious I'm really glad they let it play without them stepping all over it. Let's start with Korea Report. Okay. Let me just hear that one more time John. I'm loving this.

2:15:41 I want to learn how to say that. What is she actually saying? One of our Korean listeners are going to have to translate it if they don't translate it. Okay, I'm working on it. Scientists doubt North Korea's claim that it tested a hydrogen bomb which would be far more powerful than the three atomic bombs that its tested before Data from seismographs indicated a blast last night equal to around 7,000 tons of TNT. But that's not large by atomic bomb standards. Seth Doan begins our coverage.

2:16:20 A perfect success was how North Korea's state media put it. Defending its nuclear arsenal as a powerful deterrent against the U.S., which it called the chieftain of aggression, the underground test registered as a 5.1 magnitude quake and was close to the site of three previous nuclear tests. The news sparked cheers in North Korea, and rattled nerves in South Korea which questioned whether the explosion was big enough to be a hydrogen bomb North Korea is known for its saber-rattling, but possessing a hydrogen bomb would be a major and surprising step forward. When we were in North Korea last October it appeared relations with China its biggest ally were warming. China had sent a top official to the ceremony but there was no hint of that today.

2:17:21 Okay, I love that clip now the apparently great ISO now So, PBS NewsHour... that was CBS. PBS NewsHour had kind of a little discussion. Hmm! You mean like conversation? They had a conversation and one of the people was from the you know like secretary with State Department Let me guess Uncle Don wasn't asked on it, was he? No, course not and all the bullshit that the state department person said Was already contradicted on this show With the Uncle Don discussion Which we will remind everybody Uncle Don my uncle don you can look him up

2:17:58 He said, Dennis Rodman is closer to the truth on North Korea than anybody else. And the bottom line is all North Korea wants is just to be viewed as a full country. They don't want arm assist and they want to be under control. They just wanted some people say you're a full blown country we recognize you that's all they've ever wanted. Yeah, and they would like to have a meeting. They would like to do all this stuff but the state lying... This woman is not in the State Department anymore but she still follows the... The State Department I think are the biggest liars. Oh yeah! I got some lying clips from them They just lie. But let's play these clips, this is kind of interesting. This is the Questions North Korea PBS 1. What was that provocation intended to do? Well I think he... several things first of all it's really to bring together

2:18:48 his own country to believe that he is strong and powerful. He is still a young leader, he's trying to consolidate his power. He has done that through a tyrannical set of actions including killing off some of his closest advisors when they were getting out of control and wasn't being seen as primary so this was the way to bring his country together which we find completely reprehensible but nonetheless he's taken that action second Wait a minute wait reprehensible we find it reprehensible because we don't kill people. We don't like Our president is a he killed these few people, you know these dissidents within the government Yeah But we don't by the way We don't find it reprehensible that the Saudis chop people's heads off left and right now. That's not reprehensible At least at least Kim Jong-un fed his uncle to some dogs, you know From 50 Cal machine gun ripped him two shreds of which there's no evidence

2:19:43 No evidence, but it's fun to say. All right so we're gonna go on to clip number two and I think this is the guy who is the Los Alamos scientist who apparently has gone to Korea quite a bit to discuss nuke issues and he finds it kind of different than what the State Department says. He's sending a message to the region and to the United States Sorry, sorry just still the State Department woman then we finish with that he will do whatever he thinks He needs to do to protect his country. He will not go down as other leaders have gone down around the world I take SIGs Statements and I understand them the frustration here to get North Korea to do something but to get out

2:20:23 action takes a couple of things. It takes the leader who's willing to engage in North Korea has not been willing to engage though the United States and others have made many entreaties to them to do so. Lie! Wait a minute, wait a minute let me roll that back again. Let me hear it again when she says lie. I'm sure... To engage in North Korea has not been willing to That is total lie. Here we go. ...who's willing to engage in North Korea has not been willing to engage, though the United States and others have made many entreaties to them to do so... No! Yeah and this is- there's SO much lying and bullcrap going on You know those Ham Radio guys who have done and are going to return and do uhhhh live from North Korea? They're gonna be you can just on the ham radio because it's such a repressive regime

2:21:10 It's unbelievable that just out and out lies to fit some political agenda we don't even know really what the point of it is. They just want to be a tourist destination. Except they sell more crap to South Korea! Yes, thats about the only one. Let's listen to the guy from Los Alamos Labs kind of tell us what really is going on And finally Siegfried Hecker your take on Kim Jong-un and whether he is a real threat in this situation? So I'd like to be able to say that I'm just a scientist, and so these diplomatic matters are certainly beyond my own personal reach. But the thing that seems clear just in terms of the nuclear weapons piece of this is that North Korea looks at these nuclear weapons as a deterrent during all of my visits and discussions

2:21:54 with their foreign ministry and the diplomats rather than the technical people, they talked about their deterrent. So the emphasis was always deterrent meaning deterring the United States from essentially going into North Korea or as they like to say our hostile policies so I think we need to understand exactly What is the North Korean security concern? Because without getting over that concern, in North Korea to come to resolution it seems to me—you know again not being a diplomat—that the issue is much bigger than just a nuclear issue. And so focusing on the nuclear issue by itself is not going to be able to get us there

2:22:41 Yeah, bill you recall uncle Don went to the Obama White House say hey I have inside info. I talked these people I know what's going on and they just shined him off he was out as a former former ambassador of the Ambassador to South Korea And he was a CIA Station chief in Korea during the Korean War done a lot of stuff not all of it necessarily good but come on You know, this is bullshit. Yeah it must be weapon sales I don't see any other reason... It's got to be weapons sales and there was a lot And maybe to rattle China a little bit because it was kind of close the Chinese border yeah I don't know but whole thing is strange But what bothers me is the outward lying that American public is subject to primarily from the State Department Let's talk about that for a second

2:23:33 Here's Matt, our boy Matt Lee. Are you done with Korea? Can we go move on? I'm done. That's all I wanted to do. This is Matt Lee who was still missing his girl Yeah, it's a shame. It's a big shame at least he's back Kirby of course is the substitute He's the guy that you know me now to deal with most nobody likes Kirby nobody likes Kirby Do you realize he's an ex-navy admiral? Yes yeah We used to use today. He used to do the Pentagon. He was the Pentagon spokes all and got fired when Ash Carter came in yeah But I guess he knows so much that there'll be handy bring him in here so This is about... He's not very good at this.

2:24:14 And I believe, by the way... He's not very good at all. Actually... Not very good at this and I believe it because he is a Navy Admiral and I will say this having a lot of experience with mostly captains in the Navy when I was in the air pollution district and I had to go on board various Navy ships and lecture these captain about their blown tubes when they shouldn't making a mess in the Bay Area. We had a couple of Navy guys working in the district and One of them an old assault chief petty officer type tough guy. He says, aren't these guys are assholes? I said the captains yeah, and he's right they're horrible people They're very arrogant They think they know it all like which is probably what you have to be in a gunner ship But doesn't work well outside the ship environment And I think that's the same thing that's going on with Kirby's got one of those arrogant styles Very arrogant and so arrogant

2:25:14 that he just refuses, and this is about Iran and Saudi Arabia which I want to get into with you. So Saudi Arabia chopped off the head of one of the clerics, Iran's mad back-and-forth oil prices starting to rise a little bit which is probably what this is all about Here we have a Matt Lee asking a very simple question, and he just doesn't get the answer from Kirby Oh by the way in the chat room I You know I drink coffee during the show. I'm talking it's very physical so my stomach is just a tad upset So I took a I took a calcium product for those of you sitting there like he's had him eating on the show stop eating in the show The eating on this guy guys a whole you know it's a whole bunch of social justice warriors

2:25:59 F off. The embassy in Iran is being condemned in the strongest possible terms by the State Department, but the decapitation, beheading of the Iranian cleric? He won't apologize. He won't condemn it." Well again I would just tell you what I said before we

2:26:36 Expressed our concerns about the legal process in Saudi Arabia. We've raised those concerns with the Saudi government we will continue to do that What we want to see is for Saudi Arabia to respect and protect human rights and ensure a fair transparent judicial process I think your White House colleague was asked this pretty much the same thing and he replied We certainly would condemn any country that carries out mass executions. Does that mean you're condemning the Saudis for doing this? I've answered the question... Well, if you haven't answered it yet. You've answered it to your satisfaction but not to anybody else's because you won't use the same words

2:27:19 We have you will that you do with with Iran and the attacks on the Saudi embassy as you will as you do with the There are two different issues, I mean The Saudi Embassy came under attack we have in the past. I've been very clear about Bullshit he just won't do it of course at the same time we kill prisoners too I don't know beheading is probably more humane than than the way we do it. People flop around... Oh no, so that's why we have IP but it's more fun to make them suffer Yeah! But I-I-the executions are you know thats television man right there flopping around on our beds is no good We wouldn't have to be doing anything we'd just be raking in the dough If we had a show that was called On Skid Row well does that already exist? It was called We're Killing You I think is the name of the show We're killing you

2:28:13 And we have the cliffhangers. Best night's show killed! And just before the commercial break, you see a zoom in on the telephone... Will the governor call? Will he stay to execution? We'll be right back!" Then they come back and of course are gonna kill him Now I think what was going on- I like the touch of zooming it under phone just before commercial Isn't that great?! We have to then cut to the condemned man's eyes You know, the fear in his eyes Ah nice A producer can dream, cant'e So here's a quick little bit about this rift between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and it seems that other oil-rich countries are hopping in. And it is not working but they're really trying to do something I believe it's to create strife in the Middle East then the price of oil is supposed to go up." In an interview Monday, the Saudi foreign minister stood by

2:29:02 the kingdom's actions, calling Nimr al-Nimr, the Shiite cleric a terrorist and extending sanctions against Iran. We decided to cut off all diplomatic relations with Iran we will also be cutting off all air traffic to and from Iran. We will be cutting of commercial relations with Iran and we will have a travel ban against people traveling to Iran A firm response from the Saudis two days after protesters stormed the Saudi embassy in Tehran It all started with the execution of the Shiite cleric, an outspoken critic of Saudi Arabia's Sunni rulers. On Monday, Saudi Arabia's allies also cut ties with Iran Bahrain and Sudan The UAE has now downgraded its diplomatic team

2:29:50 But the thing is, if they were doing this to get the price of oil up they failed. No no you missed this one Oh what did I miss? This was never... there's a price of oils that it's not an element in this game oh I thought it was It's the element is to get the price of oil to go down Why?! Well what's happening here as the Saudis know that the Iranians will be putting their oil into play with this newest agreement with the United States and they will be right in the international market selling their oil. The Saudis, and they know that the cost of oil to be produced in Iran is a little more expensive than it is in Saudi Arabia which can really pretty much make oil

2:30:32 profitable at 10 bucks. So the Saudis have cranked up production to absolute max, to sink the Iranians and hurt them. And of course it also hurts the Russians who really eat crap on this deal. Well it hurts everybody! No it doesn't. The American motorists... No not the American motorists but the American oil companies It hurts the oil companies but we've always been better off as lower economy with lawyer lower oil prices. Oil is energy, energy produces money the cheaper than the input of them. The more profitable your energy is? Yeah it's more profitable good point It's more profitable your finished goods are more profitable because a low-energy where are we now with the with with the price of oil that right now it's about thirty three dollars and twenty eight cents

2:31:26 Gotta love it. Yeah, Tina said she got regular gas for a buck 60 the other day in Texas Wow Yeah, that's great and premium is 199 I haven't my premium i think here is around 230 240 yeah But it's still a better deal than it was when his head into five or six bucks. So one could say two bucks is good. Are we behind this then somehow? Or is it purely Saudi Arabia on their own? We don't like this oil price, I think so because the well, well we do you and I should like it. Yeah yeah we should like it the public should like it but these oil companies have gotten so used to making all these extra money as banks and pharma pharmaceutical

2:32:13 So where is the posturing? Why the posturing then if the idea was to get a kilo down by cranking up the output you don't need To be posturing and cutting people's heads off. Do you or that just for fun they were I think this Saudis are sincere They had a bunch of people they got a backlog of like 600 people whose heads needed to be cut off How many guys we got And so they started to up, you know speed it up a little bit So they get these get the backlog out of there because it's costing them money. Yeah These guys are all terrorists most of them are you know? It's gone off the deep end even though the whole country is you know promotes this sort of Religion that were hobbits are based in Saudi Arabia and the Salafists come out of there But this did the idea was to keep

2:33:01 Them in check not to attack the royal family, but these people get a clue they you know They got to be there so they kill him and this just and I think they're the Iranian Clara It's not Iran. He's a Saudi. These are Shia Shia cleric this guy Zubi zubi or whatever his name is yeah can't remember senior xenia it's got he's got a double name again And he was a troublemaker. He was in jail when he was a kid... He's always been a troublemaker Yeah, he's been to jail two or three times recently. He's been calling for the overthrow of the royal family I'm surprised they haven't chopped his head off like years ago A, OR

2:33:41 If they didn't want to, you know if they feel it's politically incorrect to kill this guy. They should have just deported him and her head is gone I mean that there's no it's not been played well And the Saudis are all you know they're like, you know like Trump in that bad video Oh, oh You know we meant to do that Okay. Oh Get my nation east the beta test for all things happening in the rest of get monation proper new rule From London, Britain's drug regulators have given the go-ahead for a British American tobacco electronic cigarette vaping device to be sold as a quit smoking medicine.

2:34:22 Now, this now we see the plans unveiled. That's nice that's a good gambit. This is different than what we expected the decision to license BATs evoke product means it can now be prescribed on the state-funded National Health Service for patients trying to give up smoking here's what's interesting that the Medicine and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency says We want to ensure licensed nicotine-containing products, including e-cigarettes which make medical claims are available and meet appropriate standards of safety quality and efficacy to help reduce the harms from smoking." So there is an admission here that vaping is...and they have a number here 95% safer than tobacco cigarettes according to Public Health England. And so the vapor

2:35:14 It will be a prescription medicine. That one I didn't see coming." Howard Glassman, MD, PhD – I would have never seen that coming either. Dr. Justin Marchegiani It's one thing to have to get approval is very—it's expensive and complicated to get a device approved, expensive and complicated for every version of juice you have the e-juice or every nicotine level we have to have separate uh…you know it has to be accredited and approve but now this one interesting and i think this if If the studies show, which I guess in the UK they have that it is 90% safer than smoking cigarettes and it's an effective method to wean yourself off smoking of cigarettes Bonanza! Dexter's gonna have a yacht. Dexter's gonna be the rich one Fuck that kid. Can't believe it The guy who used to- Tell him to get you cut you into some stock Well I told him to set up a PLC something that he could invest in Yeah do something Ah love that

2:36:16 Hmm. Here's an odd story this is all this is Lincoln's hand oh boy Lincoln's hand it is the New York Times reports on the theft of a sculpture of Abraham Lincoln's hands The giant plaster hand has been missing from an Illinois Museum since at least December 11th You know what behind? It was in doing in the first place with that Lincoln's hand yeah masturbators there Speaking of statues taking a stand in Berlin's Alexanderplatz are whistleblowers Chelsea Manning Julian Assange and Edward Snowden

2:36:55 Activists and members of Germany's Green Party unveiled the life-size bronze statues on Friday. All are considered heroes on the political left for leaking US intelligence documents The sculpture encourages supporters to stand up for freedom of speech and information all three figures are either in prison or facing trial for their actions Their statues will have fewer restrictions on their movements with a scheduled world tour Funny so let me get this straight. This is to celebrate freedom of speech they're all in jail Does anybody notice it's kind of like yeah lopsided? Yeah, we never did when it's Our beauties a song just not in jail no it's true you're right the songs she's not in jail He will be though oh yeah. Oh, yeah, let me see we have

2:37:48 There's all kind of a couple things I want to follow up on. Let's play this horrible story, again I mentioned banks, pharmas and and petroleum companies ruining the world. This has been in the news everywhere, I don't know who's behind it but everybody is covering it payday loans. Yeah I did see this. Lost everything. But not the loan after nine months to total amount they owed grew from $1200 to over 3000 that's an annual interest rate of more than 300%. Title loans and payday loans are supposed

2:38:26 short-term quick fixes for people who can't get traditional credit. Do you need fast cash? You've come to the right place! They use high energy commercials and bank like storefronts to entice people to borrow money at triple digit interest rates, the problem they are rarely short term. Borrowers frequently need to take out a second loan to pay off the first one it's called flipping The average payday loan in the United States is flipped eight times. They're a debt trap that's intentionally marketed to the financially unsophisticated, intending to lock them in on something that they can't pay back. Former state lawmaker Steve Hickey tried to rein in the industry... I saw this report but I didn't clip it and wondering why you did? This was NewsHour right? I think so and well one of the things that's going- I clipped because

2:39:17 It was an interesting coincidence that the worst state for this is South Dakota. And South Dakota pretty much eliminated all banking laws to lure in the credit card companies, MasterCard, the big banks and all of rest of them, the company's headquartered there. And then the other interesting piece of data in this is that most of these payday loans and all these other places which are large operations...they have hundreds and hundreds of outlets and they're many publicly traded These places all came in when the consolidation of all the community banks took place, which is gonna happen to our bank over here at Mechanics Bank. And were replaced by Citibank and Chase and they're...you know, they all became big banks. They became elements of the big banks with nobody really that serviced a small customer. I'm totally convinced that the big banks are the ones behind this

2:40:11 Oh, absolutely. The big banks... Yeah. They've decided to pull the kill all the little banks that are actually doing their job to put in these horrible operations with these very high interest rates and then buy off the same way that Big Pharma does buy off the legislatures because this guy's report was mostly about a guy couldn't get a bill through there to stop these ridiculous interest rates because they're used to be laws in this country where they would call you Ursary Laws that had to do with these high interest rate And that's why loan sharks were making so much money, because they could charge more because it was all under the table. And then once they eliminated their nursery laws which said you couldn't do this...all these sleazeballs come into office or into play into communities to steal all the money put people on permanent debts much of the way students are screwed over. This is horrible!

2:41:00 That's why I put the clip in there, just so i could say this is outrageous and nobody can do anything about it. And this is our legislators again not doing their job. Where where's Elizabeth Warren? I thought she fixed all this! Where's Pocahontas to the rescue? Oh Pocahontas the big talker. Yeah... I have two quickies from Colonel Tony Schaefer and Colonel Tony Scha-chony Schaeffer that he was um what was he he was a retired of course That's why he is on television. No, he is talking about Afghanistan and about how we cannot pull back We cannot leave In fact I think maybe in this clip these two here, two quickies This is very very bad And of course we know why can't pull out of Afghanistan Right? Right! I said right! Right right right right right You know what?

2:41:54 I'm guessing because we have yet to find the right guys to take over the distribution and heroin business. It's been going on essentially for the past six hours, and my word is...the word as I just received from the Pentagon sources that our guys are out, thank goodness. It doesn't say that the situation is stabilized this area Marjah is the meeting engagement right now Megan regarding the current war This is the area where even ISIS folks are going to take over this is essentially ground zero for the drug war whoever gains control of this region becomes the arbiter of another economic center so this no small issue yeah and it's not the drug wars its the drugs production

2:42:34 That's not a drug war over there. It's just where we create it. There is no drug war. Drug production, I have the follow up from him. General Dunford had to convince the president recently regarding the troop levels there. General Dunford has come in doing a review of what's going on. The bottom line is this Megan if we depart now and abandon the investment of blood and treasure in Afghanistan, we will see ISIS takeover the centers of economic production, the drugs, the trade trails everything. And frankly it'll become worse than I believe Syria even by the fact that they will destabilize Pakistan. Pakistan has nuclear weapons so we have to consider the results of Libya and the results of Syria not taking positive action. No agenda listeners know what's up... We all know what's up!

2:43:21 Yeah, we can't have other people running those drugs. Well I guess those guys they let go from Gitmo Yeah, get more proper there going up there They're getting a bit I don't think the guy the guy must have retired or not paying him enough He's supposed to taken over the business it seems that look at least according our theories I got A really disturbing note on my door today John On your what? My door, my door here in the skyscraper. Yeah what did it say? Well everyone had one on their... I tweeted a picture of it you may not have seen it No It's a Hoppy Hour H-O-P-P-Y Come celebrate our hood

2:43:59 Thursday afternoon, that's today. Oh I didn't see this idea yeah i saw this it was on your tweet uh your feed edit picture and you said I don't think so or something like that as a response? Yeah but you didn't maybe... You have to click on the picture to see what it says It says at the bottom Thursday afternoon This is the hoppy hour come celebrate our hood free drinks snacks and cornhole with your neighbors What?! Free drinks, snacks and cornhole with your neighbors. What is that? What was the word they wanted to say I don't know someone's getting cornholed today sounds like a recipe for success to me. I mean you got it looks collectible now look at that picture free drink snacks and cornhole with your neighbors. I've met the neighbors not thinking want to corn hole anybody today

2:44:47 What do you think that was? Obviously, it's not what they meant to say. But what could have possibly... No I think maybe there is something we just read differently. Maybe cornhole is a Texas thing. Let me see. Could be. Cornhole with your neighbors. What else are you going to do on Sunday? Let me check cornhole with your neighbors let me see Why cornhole? No, become a member of the American Cornhole Association. Hey! The ACA consists of your friends and neighbors... What is it? Play corn- oh it's a game See there I am there we are with our dirty minds John ACA members are eligible for Cornholer Of The Year Award What?!

2:45:36 It's a game. What is wrong with these people? It's a game, it's a game! Who would name the game that?! It has been called many things corn toss bean bag bean toss soft horseshoes Indiana horseshoes but to many of us born and raised in Kentucky and the southern part of Ohio The game is passionately referred to as Cornhole Oh so its a Kentucky Southern Ohio thing Yeah I guess I'm just trying to promote into Texas where they probably all laugh at this idea There's no that there's very few native Texans here in this building I'm gonna go down the I've been knocking on doors Give that a shot beauty. I have a note

2:46:20 Two notes. One, we... this is two shows that have been written and designed and gotten to it We have a producer project which I think would be fantastic for future show A compilation show And this is not an easy task It's only for people who really have been listening to the show for awhile and kind of know where to seek this out We think it would be great show To have John's stories Just one after another so the stories like you know you with when you're frozen on the motorcycle trying to pick up the chick Another ones when you were learning how to you know fight chemical fires With there's a bunch of actually I told this story last night about my My first time. I shot an elephant gun story oh, we don't know this story here's a fine example No no I don't think so

2:47:13 Alright, so I'm shooting with this guy. First of all he's a Silicon Valley CEO and he makes me promise to never mention that he was doing this. He's shooting because he got a huge gun collection it is great to shoot with him. I'm shooting with him. He does mention this one side story, which is he says above all people he says do not tell John Doar the Kleiner Perkins CEO because John Doar is an extreme anti-gun nut to the point where there was a Halloween party recently...not recently it's probably five or six years ago. I remember this story Yes, somebody comes in with a kid's cowboy outfit as their Halloween thing. I think that was Randy... who is the guy who wrote The Riddle and the Monk? Randy... Douchebag. Don't know. Commissar! Randy Commissar. Comes in with this cowboy outfit on and toy gun and apparently Dora went ballistic over this toy gun being at the party. I've heard this story

2:48:15 Anyway, so we go out shooting and so I'm reshooting all these different guns. They get the shoot of a muscle Fireball which is really interesting gun to shoot and some other things and so this is elephant gun And so he says So I actually hit the target that was a big deal because you can't really aim it because you can't really hold it steady enough as You got it's one of those shots where your moving cuz the damn gun weighs like 50 pounds He's trying moving around and you just crosses the target you shoot hoping they hit the target that kind of thing hmm but But before I wear the gun, it gives me this... It's like a football thing. There is bunch of padding. Oh! Giant for your shoulder yeah Big sh-thing And so uh.. This gun you shoot this thing and you go back about 4 feet

2:48:59 and it pushes you back. JC was also shooting, and he said should I shoot this thing? And I said no! This thing is not any fun at all. So the next day when I took a shower, this is punchline to the story, I take off my shirt and look into my entire chest, right side of my chest was solid blackened blue from shoulder down to stomach And this is with the padding. There's some powerful weapons out there." Oh, yeah! Okay so let's not include that one but... I think we've only got two then? The two stories you mentioned. No, there are many more stories and on there's the Barbara Boxer story. There are so many stories Yeah but that's a... You know, the Barbia... I think there're good stories. You have about 30 of them. But if you can come up with 50 stories... No, I think you have about thirty good ones and we've talked about most of them

2:49:55 I don't know. Okay, then i'm just... I'm gonna write them down as they come out! I'm going to keep that elephant gun story in play and I like the story and uh..I should also talk about my skeet shooting story you see? Here it comes And a trap shooting story and some other stuff but um..i'll relent and uh... John's old fart stories No they're nice stories, I like your stories They're funny to listen too especially if-if I get to provide color commentary They're good Um, we- Max half hour show. I got a number of uh speaking about it and I got a number of very concerned tweets people were angry Why did you end the show early? You ended the show half an hour early

2:50:40 Did you see this? We didn't end the show a half an hour early. The show is targeted for 245. Yeah, well a lot of people were very upset that we teased we were going to talk about Nigel Farage's attempt on his life and we didn't. And we didn't but people actually say have the gall to say you ended the show early! Hey why don't you go listen episode one and tell me if we ended the show early yeah well I don't think people should be listening to episode one Okay, well let's talk about Nigel Farage. Yeah so apparently someone tried to kill him the wheels came off his car and this was like in November or something it wasn't reported It happened in November really? I didn't know that. Now we know they tried to kill him before with a small airplane crash Yes

2:51:31 And now they're taking the wheels off his car. I think that's kind of the problem. This is in Europe, i think He was on vacation Yeah So who's trying to kill him you think? If I were to guess probably people from his own party That was what I'd guess That's where I would start Well, all we have to do now is dig up a really good fresh Nigel Farage rant. Yeah... He seemed pretty nonplussed about the whole thing. He was nonplussed about the airplane wreck. I mean as if we can somehow deconstruct who took the wheels off his car? I don't see much else we can do!

2:52:16 Yeah. We probably shouldn't have teased it either. That's what I'm thinking! Good news though, John we finally have someone we can vote for just announced today. Finally. Gary Johnson? That's right he is in and remember when I told you that I met his friend and said he was going to run Yes you did say that Then this is two months ago probably No it was longer than that And this is good because now I know his friend so I can call him We can get involved. Yeah, I want he says here's his quote but i wanted to take this opportunity to announce my candidacy for president. I'm hoping to get the libertarian nomination for president in 2016 so he's going libertarian again well that's good i'll vote for him

2:53:02 I voted for him last time. I voted for him last time too, i like him and he's a nice guy but you know and I said to his friend Dan, said dude like he has gotta lay off the weed don't let them become the weed candidate again we all are for that but thats all people oh well you want marijuana or you want weed? weed weed weed is not good especially because it looks kind of stoned yes he does he has stone quality we should do an interview with him Okay, we're talking about anger good guy though. Happy happy that he's running yes well He's yeah We don't have an agenda on the show we have no agenda But we like that guy yeah, maybe we'll see what his what he's talking this year, but if it's the same as last time I'm okay Totally got to do this man Here's a screwball story This is the anger you talk about two people angry at us in this chat room That this is the anger survey oh Yes

2:53:59 Welcome back. Anger and frustration, arguably the two defining characteristics so far of this presidential election but who in America is angry and why? Well we teamed up with our pals at Esquire magazine in an attempt to find out We asked Americans this simple question. Compared to a year ago, do you get angrier more often than you used to about current events and news? Well overall 49% of Americans said that they in fact do get angry more often. Well who are these angry people who is the angriest? The angriest group whites turns out whites are angrier than African-Americans and Latinos majority 54 percent white said their anger compared to just 43 percent of Latinos and 33 percent of African American

2:54:39 And while there is anger on both sides of the political aisle, there's more anger among Republicans. 61% of them say they're angrier than they were last year compared to 42% of Democrats who describe themselves that way But here's our big myth-busting moment of our survey It's women who are angriest 53 percent of women said their angrier today than a year ago compared to 44 percent of men and it's white woman who are most angry of all 58% say they're angrier today than a year ago, compared with 51% of white men. So we've told you who is angry when we come back in a moment why I attempt to tell you why these folks are angry and might benefit the most later in this campaign. Wow wow oh wow! They attempt...they get nowhere what do they know? They can't lay it on anything well We know that that white women have been targeted specifically by the Democrats

2:55:31 To make them mad. Make them mad about guns, make them mad about crazy white dudes, make them mad about everything! Yeah So it's worked I guess Although this thing is a dubious survey It seems to me it was monkey...thing What does it call? Monkey Survey That's the dead guy Yeah that guy That's uh what's her name? Sandbergs husband thats his company Yeah Monkey Survey Survey Monkey? Survey Monkey And it was done on Nesquire, so that's probably a self-selected who knows. But yeah I know Mimi is spending a lot of time at the city council meetings with she's building a huge coalition of haters because the City Council in Port Angeles turns out are buncha corrupt douchebags and they sent out a survey to the public as to whether the public wants fluoride or not and the public said no

2:56:32 And so, you know it was like this typical off election day survey. Not a survey but an actual vote people took. But they expected like 30% attendance, they got like almost I think almost 40 some number but 40% of the people voted and like most of them said no. And so this douchebag city council led by a couple of real clowns one of them in particular said Oh, well since only 40% voted that means the other 60% probably meant yes. Right therefore otherwise they would have voted Therefore we're keeping fluoride in the water That's like Austin This has gotten everybody upset This is just like Austin same thing

2:57:23 Yeah, same thing. It's everywhere this whole country is having these problems with local governments and Mimi's got this theory about if you can't fix your local government You can't fix anything and so is that her slogan? That's the one of her statements I like that she'd I like it too And so she's gonna you know just time She's running with a bunch of people they're gonna try to oust everybody because this has been going on ever And because she does a lot of research, she gets online and next thing you know she's finding these exact same quotes about the phony baloney election against fluoride being on all kinds of topics. Every time this comes up these guys do what they want to do it. And most local governments like I said Austin...

2:58:01 They're all acting like this and they all have to be drummed out. The passive public that's putting up with this has to get involved and actually run for office and fix things." Yes, and this is the same that's going on in Austin with ride-sharing companies with Ubers. You know we have until I think February 1st? And then they'll have to do a dish take additional background checks and will have to pay $450 per driver fee per year And there's pretty much nobody I've spoken to who is for this. I haven't heard anyone say, yeah you know I don't feel safe or whatever and we know it's just too...and they even have a name now it's no longer Uber Rideshare its TNC. No was it? Transportation...NTs National Transportation Companies or Platforms they have some term for which is thing is TNC

2:58:55 And, you know, eventually this is going to be regulated. Which may be appropriate but the people of Austin they do not want this. They do not want these... Yeah regulation's fine if that's what the public wants but the public doesn't wanna have stuff that these local cities are hoisting on them. They're dictators! And they're foisting it on them because of local lobbyists, these little corrupt operations. The level of just petty corruption at these small towns is really pathetic and they sell out for anything! It's got to go, these guys have got to be ousted. Take over your towns people!" I've got no time for that

2:59:37 Well, you're doing something else but at least it's important and it's about the same thing. So that helps. But I think I could help run Austin through a podcast just not show up to city council or anything just do a podcast every day about the town That would be useful Banning douchebags Beards get the beards out Get the beards out! And finally John with all of this Talk about whitey being so bad and white men and racist. You know be like xenophobic, and we're you know were militia and We hate any of anyone else who's black Anyone other than the White is all this stuff I think for the first time The other day I felt just a twinge of hmm Maybe this is what it feels like if yeah, you know if you've been black all your life probably doesn't you don't think so

3:00:32 No, I think it's a different experience. It just that this is just normal bigotry and hatred on the smaller scale being black all your life is Is different because you're also have? You know elements of they don't their schools are crap And they don't you know there's cultures different enough that they can well in the way Let me say this. It's a good start They got me feeling that way so it's a good start you're doing your job oh Okay. Alright everybody, very good anything I should be watching? Anything coming up? Anything happening any games nothing yet? When's the Super Bowl? Is that coming up? Super Bowls are ways off now The good game will be January 11th on Monday after the next show That'll be the National Championship...

3:01:20 The college football thing is they got bad ratings for all these games that come up with this playoff system, and they're blaming all kinds of things for the lousy ratings. I blame it on they've taken most of the games and they've taken them off broadcast TV and put them on ESPN! What kind of corruption is this? Why does the NCAA put college sports games exclusively on ESPN?! I don't know... Must be a money thing This must be a money thing and it's some sort of corruption again at some level. And with that, coming to you from downtown Austin in the morning I'm Adam Curry! And from northern Silicon Valley where i still have my gong...
