Sock Puppet Media

00:00 And Neo-Nazis are planning an attack! I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, I've made a discovery! I'm John C. DeVore. You sound like a mad scientist. Ahhhh! I've made a discovery! I got no time for this podcast! I've made a discovery... What you got? What's your discovery?

00:52 This effort is it's now every day. It comes by at quarter to 11 I want you to know that's an official That's an official Zephyr sound effect yeah, it sounds like and so but from the 50s oh, I'm sorry It's officially late every day according to the schedule. I have to call the authorities about this, this is an outrage! Well it consistently shows up at the exact same time quarter to 11 passing by leaving the Berkeley area.

01:28 I think this is an outrage. It is, it's not on the schedule. You're supposed to leave at 9. What a train fr- ow! Ooh, hold on a second... you okay? Not really, hold up. You okay?! Hold on!! Well this is a lot of dead air. I'll fill it with music. Let me get one of my instruments here, another better ones The off-key recorder. I'm glad, I'm glad I fixed it before you got to the off key recorder That must have sounded weird on your end sorry about that

02:11 What was it? Oh, sounds like your gear fell over. The microphone you know because I often will grab the mic like this and just position it while I'm talking It literally came off in my hands off the stand At least when I put it back on I'm not talking into the back end of it that's that's the good news Yeah, that is good news. Okay so the Zephyr- Yes! Your mic is a tube you go right down the tube You can't talk into the back of it I spit straight down my tube baby Okay we were at the Zephyr and your going to contact authorities because this will not stand Oh yeah, oh yeah Im good to go now All I wanted was a Zephyr sound and an Ooga

02:57 Yeah, the Ooga's a must. This is not exactly the one I wanted but it's pretty good. I can get you the ones that I have. The ones that I have are pretty good. The one that really gets... OOOGA! Yeah it sounds like an ooga. It makes it sound like an ooga. Hey I've been getting once again tons of alerts on my solar weather app Okay, and whenever I get an alert there's either an earthquake or something else happens and more than 130 thousand people on the Indonesian island of Bali are nine makeshift evacuation centers as they brace themselves for the eruption of Mount Agung. The volcano is spewing out white smoke and causing tremors Officials are struggling to stop some people from returning to their homes in the exclusion zone Local resident Mulya says he's determined to stay

03:45 If we move to a shelter, I'm afraid it would be difficult for my family to adapt and that's why we don't want to go. It is better to stay at home. At least so far, I still feel safe. Should there be an eruption the government would let us know." But tens of thousands people from safe zones have also left their homes putting pressure on the evacuation facilities they are being asked to return home. More than 1,000 people died in 1963 when Mount Agung last erupted Told you that was gonna happen. That's been going on for a minute will let you know if there's an error I'm gonna be this is great station right here under the volcano and the government will let me know if there's an eruption Yes, stay tuned stay tuned. There's an eruption stay tuned to your television sets ladies and gentlemen We will let you know when there's an eruption Hey this but this solar flare app it's great

04:36 Every time the solar well we don't about this Bali thing going on apparently you have some issues with our local volcanoes here in California Yes, not Shasta being one of them Which is something when nobody wants to see go up now because that could set off all of Yellowstone or something couldn't it? No no yellow so everything blows up and California falls off the face of the Yellowstone goes into whole world's doomed alright but Because that thing's just half the globe. They take it aside, you know? So big they don't even can't even... It took forever to figure out where the caldera actually is. It's half of the state of Wyoming. Unbelievable! Anyway we've talked about this already but what you're telling us now is that your little app has been beeping and beeping. And has been continuously kind of correct historically speaking that something happened

05:27 So it doesn't mean it's causation, but it is certainly a... It's a cooing coincidence. Yes exactly. Um so I got more warnings this morning and I've been tracking you know my buddy is still in Bali So what is this? The app Yeah tell people so they can get it and put on their phones Well we did talk about it last time I'll gladly tell you why I paid zero attention Is it only on the Apple? Its core uh no its uh Apple and Android called Disaster Prediction App and it gives you earthquake alert maps specifically for certain types of solar activity are believed to influence seismic activity. Then there's space weather, and let me just see what my most recent alerts were... So the alerts I got... Space weather risk is elevated two of those this morning. Coronal holes global watch high yesterday

06:25 a minor geomagnetic storm in progress but it could affect technological stuff maybe. I don't know, just whenever i get an alert i'm always paying attention to the news and then sure enough something will pop up! It's very interesting Well, it'll be interesting to see what happens when that volcano goes up. That will be... you know what this is gonna... This is my prediction. Red book prediction. Alright! This volcano's gonna go up and its gonna put a bunch of crap in the air and its going to lower temperatures for awhile And all the global warmists are going to use that as excuse why the temperature hasn't been increasing It's volcanic ash Yes, of course Yeah we should have known Should have known

07:12 Well, there's a lot to cover today. Obviously as we speak there is all kinds of stuff going on in Spain I have just little overnight clip from Spexit It's crunch time in Catalonia and on the day of an independence referendum deemed illegal by Spanish authorities people arrived early to take their places ready to vote Organisers had urged a turnout from 5am in efforts to secure polling stations, but as Catalans gathered in numbers security forces too were making their moves having been ordered to stop this vote taking place. A convoy of police vehicles left Barcelona port bound for the city on Sunday morning as fears of confrontation rose. Farmers have used tractors to guard polling stations at a number of towns

08:03 Including at this sports center where pro-independence Catalan leader Carlos Puigdemont was due to cast his ballot. Families have been sleeping in schools designated for voting, but in a sign of how the referendum has polarized Spain thousands of pro unity demonstrators gathered in major cities on Saturday including here in the capital Madrid To express their fierce opposition to Catalonia's attempt to break away So they were rolling. They were rolling bats a shitty report I know they were rolling big tractors in front of the designated polling places and none of that meant Made any difference so that reports, I saw this morning not really clip worthy because it's more just video and pandemonium Head-covered

08:52 police officers or at least people in police uniforms with their heads, you know in masks came and grabbed the ballot boxes and just tore them out of there. Yeah Wow They don't want this vote No that's pretty obvious Same thing going on in Kurdistan Right right well that's also about you know the Kurds wanting money from Iraq from the central government we discussed that on last show But that is now just so they'll screw it then we're just gonna go ahead you're not going to pay us for what we did against Isis, okay good then We're going to Do our referendum and cause general havoc yeah which seems to be a pretty good Strategy and maybe someone if anything happens during the show. I think yes if anything happens During the show I'm sure someone in there chat room will alert us to it at no agenda stream calm Okay well that was it that was fast well And I did want to mention one extra thing about this

09:50 On the previous show we had a report about how the Spanish government had disabled internet access to the, as they claimed legal websites that showed people where they can vote. And I found out what happened. Oh okay you mean you found out how they did it? How they did it yeah These websites were all under the .cat domain name top level domain name dot C A T for Catalonia And the .cat... But there is no, but CAT was assigned to Catalonia? Or is it something else? No. It's assigned to Catalonia and the internet registrar for .cat is in Catalonia

10:35 Oh. And police, Wednesday morning police entered the headquarters in Barcelona seized all his computers and they... You said it was in Catalonia? It's in Barcelona- oh, I'm sorry. That's like, I was thinking Madrid never mind go on. Are you just looking to just slam me boy?! We want to hear the story. Almost! I tried yeah good good fail that's a fail um so they just went in and just turned off their authoritative name server And they just called up ICANN, you know. We so smartly sent the... ICANN which is the Internet Names and Address Space right? You know the main body. Today we're just gonna cut this off! Okay end of story once your authoritative name server's gone that's it everything just expires after a while. That's actually pretty funny Who has .dog? That would be kind of cool

11:37 So you have cat and dog. Yeah, I wonder if that's a domain of any? I don't know if the dogs ever been assigned it maybe one was yet. You know I've looked into becoming a top-level domain registrar so many times It's unaffordable yes quarter of a million bucks minimum And you have to have all kinds of you know investment and backing and you know plans and yeah dot dog would be dynamite Maybe it exists. I don't know let's check it out Dog top domain it could be that dog top level domain will say Yes It exists about that owned by the giant veterinarian operation. That's been taken over all the small vets or across the country in a It apparently is actually intended for people who are dog friendly

12:33 Oh really? Yes. Now you can put anything on it, I guess but it looks like that's what the... Yeah but you gotta find who the registrar is. Yeah well you can register almost anywhere But I don't know who it is so let's look at it. It's a new top level domain. Do .newtopdogTLDRegistrar and see what ya get. Okay alright. Slave! Alright new top dog- top Level domain name dot dog registrar geez you could have typed that in yourself I Know but not by the keyboard it like they can't find the keyboard now. No, I can wiki let's see if they say it

13:18 Donuts. Cocoa Mill LLC manages... Donuts? Donuts, yes! Donuts is a startup company that was created to apply and run new top-level domains as made possible by ICANN And so donuts are the ones. I have to go to donuts to get my... You gotta get a donut to get a dog It's a beautiful thing What a wonderful system it makes nothing but sense Big meeting, big meeting in Warsaw. The big NATO cyber war meeting This was really quite the... Well this one caught me off guard Yeah I was able to follow quite a bit of it on Euronews which means you get the crappy ass Euronews reads But a couple of interesting reports here's just a backgrounder because whenever you have

14:08 But an organization like NATO getting together, it's for all you know just looking at what it is. It's a conference! It's like a comdex for people who like to kill people I'm sorry they're purely defensive So what do you get? Thousands of guys who are showing up to sell their wares. They've got vendors everywhere, yes! Cyber is the word." Alongside NATO officials more than a thousand industry representatives have been attending this week's cyber security symposium in Mons Belgium Some of the West potential cyber adversaries such as Russia and China are keeping their electronic arsenals firmly in state hands Looking at the commercial marketplace and evidence here though Is NATO privatising its cyber defence?

14:57 Big organizations and countries cannot do this alone. They need industry, and we certainly need industry We need their innovation, expertise, solutions because their solutions are really countering the threats that the whole world is facing And NATO's no different from any other organization Bidders to win contracts for the business of NATO cyber defense will be invited to tender next year with the first round of investments to be completed in 2018 So the cyber conference I guess was in Brussels and actually makes a story even more... No, I thought she said something else. Yeah but NATO meeting is in Warsaw but I think the uh... She said some podunk town in Belgium right at the beginning play it again Where the hell was it? Podunk Town let's see Alongside NATO officials more than 1,000 industry representatives have been attending this week's cybersecurity symposium in Mons Belgium Mons

15:57 It's like what at the travel in or I mean, it's probably not that far. It's not that far from Brussels But here's what happens when there so you got a whole bunch of Yahoo's and in around Brussels And they're all looking to buy stuff and we have to make sure that everyone's aware Particularly people who are making decisions about how bad it is? So then you get all these cyber stories that pop up all in this all on the same day This was for the dudes named Ben and dudettes named Bernadette. You'll appreciate the bullcrap of this story, even though I'm sure it happened but we just called it DDoS Let's see how they describe it to the European Commission. Hackers have targeted the European Commission's computer network trying to overload and crash it Officials say connection speeds were affected on Thursday But there was no data breach

16:48 No, of course not. It's a DDoS! There was no data breach! The news is so horrible they really don't know shit there was no data breach The commission was indeed targeted by an attempt to saturate our internet connection. See, that's the only thing that is correct! That is the only thing that is correct in the whole report. The commission took effective countermeasures and there was no interruption of service Cloudflare, can you help? Generally speaking the attribution of these attacks is difficult because different attackers share and use the same tools and methods. The hackers launched their attack on the same day that Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko was in Brussels for a summit. The Commission's declined to comment on whether there was any connection

17:42 Of course there's a connection the connection is I mean, I'm sure they get DDoS every day Yes every day. But oh oh no, you know this was all kinds of people using the same tools It was millions of hackers Yeah That's how a DDoS attacker work works and obviously people are not really aware of it but now that they're having this conference anyway, of course Now the final report in the triage The EU gets tough on cyber security, but Bitcoin aficionados pay attention to what they're going to be doing with their newfound cyber power because they've got it now. Clenching its fists in the face of mounting cyber attacks

18:24 The European Commission says it wants to bring in new measures to beef up protection against those trying to steal data, commit fraud or even destabilise governments. Last year there were 4,000 ransomware attacks a day according the commission and the economic impact is deepening. Now it can reach our economies she says, it can reach our personal lives, it can reach our democracies It's important that there are concrete steps forward so there's a common approach better coordination confidence for citizens and industries in member states. A new law is being proposed to combat cryptocurrency fraud, and the European Commission wants to see the bloc's cyber security agency, Enisa based in Greece increase its staff

19:07 double its budget and launch operations to help see off attacks. And that's something being welcomed by Athens." The problems which will probably be created regarding the safety of the networks, he says, they'll certainly threaten the physical situation of people in the future and not only machines. Therefore, Inisa has a very significant role to play it will be the most important organization in the future because it'll be in charge of creating the system of European defense I love it! Cryptocurrency fraud that is code for

19:45 That's not money. We're not gonna let that happen, that's not gonna happen Absolutely not! Thanks Obama Done. Done Goodbye exchanges... goodbye Well we'll see It was an interesting Friday release Confirming 21 states were targeted by the Russians Yes But here is the interesting thing

20:22 It turns out that in none of those 21 targeted states did the quote-unquote Russians actually hack anything it had to do with registration or election systems. Wisconsin, let's see what are they targeting Wisconsin? It was something like oh yeah the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development... None of it would not have had nothing with elections so there were Russian IPSs that's the way we say it these days, that were detected in these and I...and it doesn't even Homeland Security didn't even really confirm if there was any successful attack but there was let me see Homeland Security said an agency that doesn't deal with elections was targeted. The scans oh it was scans! It was just scanning. That's going on 24-7 so this news is missing who's missing from the scene? Yeah someone who understands three

21:23 Bob's about technology, that would help. No you remember that I can't remember the name of this product but it was extremely popular everybody had you get it for free and it was a little thing that kept an eyeball on your who is scanning you and who is pinging you and where are these? Oh yeah. Remember this thing? Yes! It showed up in the corner of your screen Yeah we're talking 90 still when this came out I think so yeah, I knew the people who did it and they sold to someone that had disappeared But it was somebody in this chat room or remember. I hope so And anyway you would look at this thing and if you map end map zone alarm zone alarm zone alarm Way to go chatroom nice You could look at the log it was

22:12 Literally thousands and thousands of these pings, probes, pops and poops. And all the other things they used to do. If that was still around people would realize this is routinely going on constantly. Yeah I run a mail server you should see what happens there! The logging attempts and you know, it's just unbelievable. Sometimes they just have the log, you know tail minus F look at the log I'm like wow this is crazy stuff people are trying. But why? to see if something's open. It's a probe, then you say it's open let's go in that's pretty much the idea if it's there why not? You know the mountains there might as well climb it but what happened with this is that part of the story has now completely fallen apart it hasn't really been discussed The only person who really wrote about it who was arguably somewhat on the left is Grenn Greenwald-Donraff

23:09 Let's see what he said is, yet another major Russia story falls apart. Is skepticism permissible yet? So always funny to have Glenn understand kind of what's going on so a number reports about that we have to move away from the cyber intrusion back to the influencing thats you can still claim thats like hacking at the election and CNN came out with an exclusive over the weekend just by coincidence, not the exclusive news about hey guess what it was just some port scans. We're clear there was no hacking! No instead they now have the fake black activist accounts that were used on Twitter to hack the election

23:55 And they have been now linked to the Russian government. and wrote about injustice to African Americans. Take a look at the Facebook page, it says watch another savage video of police brutality we live under a system of racism and police are directly letting us know how they feel where we stand these posts they were all designed by the Russians to try to amplify racial tension in the US is that right?

24:32 That's right. The post coming from this social media campaign was designed, our sources tell us by an account... Our sources tell us? Yes! Our sources. ...media campaign CIA was designed our sources tell us by an account linked back to the Internet Research Agency which has ties to the Kremlin. Ties! This campaign used both Facebook and Twitter to basically advance a message that would, and posts and ads that would exploit the racial tensions that exist in this country effectively as part of the larger Russian goal of undermining American democracy sowing political discord contributing to an atmosphere of partisanship and incivility. And they were doing this Anderson at a time during a campaign when race was sort of at

25:28 a how sophisticated the Russians were in terms of understanding the pressure points for American politics and American culture. Now, this kind of goes back to your point from maybe the last episode about what ads are intended to do on Twitter and Facebook you know, convince people or coerce people into believing things about products or situations. And somehow we're now led to believe that Black Lives Matter ads and other Russian-linked ads on Twitter and Facebag that specifically said cops are racist... That was all in favor of Donald Trump

26:31 How, how in what world? Well we know what universe that works but please tell me I'm not misunderstanding. It's crazy! Are they trying to cover up for the Democrats who probably did this?! Well here's the...I can tell you- I can go into dimension B and explain it I think I do have two more clips, two shorties. Okay well I can go into dimension B and explain it afterwards but i think i can explain what your concern is and why... Well actually if you do it now that might be better actually please. The idea here's

27:08 The idea is to sow dissent on both sides so things are so screwed up that the public sees it as, oh my god this is because of the political...the way that politics are today we've got a vote someone new in. So let's vote Trump maybe this will all end with a new guy who's not part of the system Okay That is what they're thinking But there was no call-to-action to vote for Trump No! No they could..that would be illegal actually So by your logic Dimension B logic. Sorry, I'm sorry by your logic while you're in dimension be you did that very very slickly by the way slid right in any Black Lives Matter poster or Facebag post is pretty much equal to what the Russians were doing yes and therefore they should be arrested

27:55 Yeah, they should and if we fought and I'm pretty sure Trump didn't collude with Black Lives Matter No because that wouldn't fit in the narrative of him being a Nazi and white nationalist. So You know this story is this is truly an example of the alternate universe Truly it just makes no sense. I mean you Yes, indeed to me. And as it turns out, boo hoo Mr Soros and Black Lives Matter! The fake blacktivist accounts were more popular! Did this group have a big following online? In fact they did if you look at the Facebook account now suspended

28:38 for blacktivists, what you find is they had over 360 thousand likes. That is more than the 300 thousand likes that the verified Black Lives Matter Facebook page has today! So yeah so it's not just a question of the Russians being able or intending to influence American politics... That level of following suggests that they might have actually succeeded in doing so Yeah, that could be bullcrap. Well of course you would expect Pooper's next question to be well that could have been bots right? Run those numbers up with bots. Yeah bots and now it's true! Now they have a following it's dangerous They've got a lot of people but this thing was so scripted This interview was we know a lot of stuff is scripted But just listen to Poopers next question

29:28 which is about the events, you know the face bag events or whatever that was and he literally reads the question. The guy is ready with- He's ready for the question and with the answer Were these accounts also promoting events? And it's a horrible read too! A little, just trying to act Oh my- Hey so tell me Is this like when I used to do fake satellite interviews with Janet Jackson I've told the story before, but in 84 or something. They'd send over a videotape with Janet Jackson with just her answers and list of questions and we just pretended it was a satellite interview even had static oh! Oh we lost the bird! This was... this was I think finally killed off by space ghost who got hold of you know this operation on one of those... Ah yeah they were recording everybody

30:21 Well, they had the did they have these they got these tapes to a lot of these things full around I mean when in their early day or into most days of radio They used to have these big transcriptions you do these fake interviews You know this yeah, and then put your play the transcription as and you have your questions And it seems to be working that's a question well those transcriptions. They don't throw them out no So somebody gets some and so then you can do all these phony questions. Yeah, I can do fun stuff Which is the basis for? You know the the daily shows like Samantha B segments. I just get yeah well answers and ask phony questions Ghosted the best job of ridiculing them anyway, so pooper does his little bit part here were these accounts also promoting events Yes They weren't that's another area where you can sort of measure the influence that these accounts actually

31:09 actually And real events, Anderson—events that were actually attended by people. Events that were covered by some media organizations. So what we're learning tonight begins to sort of help us understand and certainly I think help congressional investigators understand just how Facebook or just pardon me, just how Russia was able to use Facebook and Twitter to influence American politics.

31:48 I think the influencing is now being done by people like you, sir and Mr. Pooper if this is indeed going to be called a crime then, you know... goodbye all activists. If Black Lives Matter does this and that will be a crime if they are funded by maybe not if they're in funded by America but if they have any outside funding that would be legal I guess? I mean how we gonna explain this one away? This is too difficult Well, I don't know how they can figure that. From your perspective... ...I don't see how they can explain it as being necessarily something that was pro-Trump! That's what i'm saying! And I still have this underlying feeling that this is a cover up for some other group who did this

32:39 Yeah, that makes sense because... right. Because if they really start digging you know because now they're digging face bag is digging everybody's digging I'm sure Zuckerberg is concerned about his position in the universe and maybe the political universe so If there was some Democrat shenanigans, and by the way who gives a shit? This is okay. This is what you do this I mean have you seen television political television ads? It's pretty tame this stuff compared to what they do with you know with NRA ads And you know how The Democratic Party and other Related super PACS were yeah also throwing around racist misogynistic commercials about Trump

33:21 I mean, that's normal course of action. And apparently it doesn't work very well because Trump still won. Yeah well considering the amount of money they spent on anti-Trump material... In fact the public seems to have reacted negatively to the anti... Well they've always said this here's a funny thing about this if you recall every election we witnessed even when the ones before the show They always talk about how negative, going negative never works. It doesn't work it doesn't work what you want is a positive message you don't- You just can't say bad things about the other person and this is why so and so lost And this is why McCain lost and this is why Romney lost because they had no message The Republicans had no message they had nothing positive to say So This time around their whole message was dumb positives Make America great again make America great again that's IT

34:17 And the other side was just Trump sucks, Trump sucks. So the old rules seem to work which is don't use all the negative stuff and Clinton was just preoccupied with Trump was this he was that he's a misogynist he hates black people He's a horrible person and the other one was make America great again boom Trump wins everyone stunned by this Well, Facebag is now another interesting twist of the story. The communications regulator Alexander Zarov of Russia has said you know Facebag is not being... he says Facebag has not been compliant and it's not in compliance with our data laws where they have to since September 2015 they have to store all of their citizens personal data on Russian soil they still do not comply so we're about ready to cut off face bag

35:11 in Russia. They have their own Facebook, I can't remember the name of it's... I've seen it. The B or something? I actually got an account on it. Lionel from RT is the best- Of course he's on RT then so he's defending the Russian position He had a rather interesting retort to the blacktivist Russian Twitter effectiveness Three questions I have being a lawyer, let's think prosecutor. Number one who are the Russians? Russian government, russian people, people who speak russian what we don't know a russian entity number two anti-fracking ads

35:56 Excuse me, anti-fracking ads? Black Lives Matter. How is that going to help Donald Trump? Oh I know because it causes chaos! It causes a frisson of discussion. You nailed it John you nailed dimension B according to Lionel. And number three if you want to look at direct direct governmental involvement in an election. Let's look no further than President Obama and Brexit, let's look at our statements regarding Scottish independence and our statements regarding let's say Israeli elections so if you want to look at this vague issue about Russian involvement whether these issues or ads cause chaos

36:43 leads me to this one very single simple answer to all of these accusations. What? Nothing's proven, nothing is even remotely suggesting us how this implementation takes place. Details don't matter just mention Russia, mention RT. off and running because the American public, and the American social media uh and sock puppet media bought-and-sold deep state media if you just say Russia that's it they just read the headline and they're off to talk about kneeling gate in the NFL or something ludicrous. That's where we are so what? He needs one of those on set yeah this is exactly it I totally concur

37:36 So what? Who cares. Again, if we want to really back up two steps and go up and take one step up the meta... We say all this is is keep this in the news cycle till 2018 so that Democrats can get some people in there Yes, yes This is the divide-and-conquer strategy which I have a number of clips for I don't know if you want to do it right now because It's like three longish clips I'm assuming. Yeah, you want to take some intermediate steps? Yeah! Let's just... yeah please. I have the Bannon blasting the Hollywood people. Oh good good good. Flip which goes on this is... I'm sorry? Yeah i'm just saying it was part of an interview that was a very remote something I don't know some show somewhere but I just thought he had a couple funny things to say.

38:24 And they're in... Have you ever met these fellows yourselves? Oh yeah, that's a great question. Thank you very much for calling us. Listen Andrew always said Culture is upriver from a politics right now as you know news is kind of everything even Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert to drive Viewership the way that Kimmel and Colbert are competing in late night right now. Let's make it very political very anti-trump, so what we're doing is exposing that this one of the reasons Big Hollywood is on fire because all we do is expose the hypocrisy Of these morons in the entertainment industry by the way yeah understand some these actors and actresses They're all dumb as ticks and they're all lazy. Right? It's like pieces of furniture. Oh yes, see what Jennifer Lawrence did the other day... She said they are all dumb as ticks And now she has to take a break from acting because she said it was so stupid By the way, by the way, that bothers me. That is why movie attendance is down people are tired of it, that's why they don't watch the National Football League, they cut in court at ESPN They've politicized everything and you guys are voting with your feet which I think is fantastic

39:20 Oh, you were going to explain—we talked about it after the show—what in sports taking a knee means. I did not realize it has a different...it has meaning in sports! Yeah, it has a couple of meanings but the overriding meaning is to give up and used as a business metaphor and generally speaking in football you take a knee at two possible points in a football game One, when time is running out and he's going to her halftime and you're not doing well in your words sick that you're gonna screw up even more. And you have this only, you know, you could probably run two plays if you wanted to maybe even three, but instead you take a knee

40:02 And you see that in a lot of just before half times with teams that are losing. Now they get the ball at the end, they take a knee so because then you got to regroup is what they always say. Oh, I gotta get into locker room and regroup. So they take any other time you take a knee in football is at the end of a game where you have won the game and there's only X amount of time left. And the number of downs that you have left, if it takes, you have to rotate through the play clock and say it's like you got a minute left in the game while you don't have to take any place Take a knee, first down. Take a knee first down." No gain now at second down you take another knee and the clock starts running out and then it's...the clock gets down to zero and you hike the ball and take it. You get the ball and then you take another knee, the time runs out, the game is over. So those are the two moments of taking a knee as a business metaphor, taking a knee means to give up. Yes or subjugate yourself to someone

41:04 That's also subjugation. A lot of people emailed me about that. In fact, taking the knee is subjugation in the first instance but not in the other instance where you take the knee it's also called the victory formation and everyone gathers around because there have been instances in games rare but they do happen and they happen mostly documented I mean you also get down on one knee to propose to someone? Yes we know what happened was Tina's sister was here a couple weeks ago, and we're out to dinner. And of course the sisters... Oh! Let's take a selfie! Okay So I get up, I walk around and I kneel next to Tina's chair. And people in the restaurant audibly go, oh! It was very funny Anyway Do you have your referee whistle handy? I don't Ah it's too bad

42:04 Because I'm gonna dig it up because I can see where it could be useful in the during this era by the way. I should mention just a little aside here There's now a scandal of Bruin and the NFL even though nobody wants to talk about and if any sports reporters According to at least some sources if any sports reporter even dare to write about it going to be banished really NFL coverage crap But that is what happened to the Oakland Raiders in the game against Washington, where apparently the quarterback didn't take a knee with the rest of the black team. Yeah. Especially the frontline here's why they just said yeah. Go keep going

42:44 They decided not to block anybody. So the guy got, you know, got sacked four times and it was just having nothing but trouble back there in the game they lost badly for all practical purpose at least according to these sources ended if you look at the Oakland Raiders compared to the Washington Redskins there's no reason for this game to go the way it did unless the team just decided to give up or just let this guy suffer the poor quarterback David Carr And if- see what happens in today's games, but uh... This is something nobody wants to talk about because it's gonna open a can of worms. Well here's what we need When the anthem is playing and someone takes a knee It should be made- Time out! We just wait until he gets back up or wait two minutes and then we just resume Oh he's taking a knee

43:35 What are you playing, the Russian national anthem? That's a Star Spangled Banner. Sounds like the Russians... I have to mention one. I have to mention one thing, which is that the thing that really got all the right wing talkers and everybody Fox people. Everybody bent out of shape was what happened in London because they had one of these phony baloney NFL does this once a year. They sent two teams that have to be made miserable. They fly them to London and so they play a game there with a bunch of expats in the audience. The regular London public doesn't care And so they played God Save the Queen and all these... Actually, I have to stop you.

44:17 There are a lot of enthusiasts in Europe for what they call American football. They have leagues and all kinds of stuff like that, so it's not just for the expats It's a demonstration game and there is money involved. Continue continue. Now... So they all stood up for God save the Queen but they also took a knee for the national anthem this got everybody bent out of shape Well interesting well first of all We had dinner with the former New York banker and his wife Friday evening. They came over to the Kamala condo, then we had... you know I'm always interested in Ben Cohen and Mnuchin he says neither one are going to be the Fed chair. Oh they both screwed up? Well here's what happened! He said- we were talking about the actual quote that the president made which was some I wish one of these owners would

45:10 uh, fire these sons of- fire one of these sons of bitches. Yeah. Or... yeah that's what he said. Then and actually I could tell that the banker was really animated like what a dick! Like really? He said wha- I mean did you know- I actually asked him do you know exactly what he said and he was- he came pretty darn close i don't think he saw it himself I think he's a reader so probably did read the quote and got it right but he said to the New York banking set which is where he comes from. This was clearly a dog whistle, he did it in Alabama everybody knows he did it according to the New York financial circles

45:51 That he's totally, this was a total racist thing. That everybody recognized the dog whistle particularly because it was in Alabama and that has put too much pressure on Cohen and Mnuchin from their people They're saying if you continue to work for that man then your kids will be kicked out of our private school or something like that. They're both going to quit, that's why Trump apparently is now interviewing for the next Fed chair and won't be Cohen or Mnuchin." And I didn't argue with him because we were having a nice Friday night meal but I'm like holy crap! I think he really believes this too and I guess from your perspective or dimension

46:36 I think you can see it that way. Oh, absolutely! There's any doubt about it. I think that dimension has no trouble seeing it that way and in fact the entire all the blacks I think that or they're all in that dimension more or less not all of them and they also Trump saying X all blacks are son-of-a-bitches yes SOBs but even though he could repeat the quote verbatim to me He still also, I believe truly thinks that that wasn't a purposeful dog whistle because it was in Alabama and what he said. Then it was like no doubt in his mind. Yeah! I can see that very...I can easily see that being the interpretation you'd have and

47:29 Valid or invalid. It could be valid, it might actually be true! Couldn't you? Who knows at this point?! Because I see...I saw him doing it and he was just hamming it up the way does in front of a large audience That's what I got out of it too He says all this crazy stuff and then he...you're fired You know that he did this...you're fired twice Yeah yeah It's his catchphrase but okay What do we know? Other people's reality is their truth That's okay by me Well, it depends on what you think is... I mean if you really don't like Trump then it's going to be easy to believe this. You're gonna always see whatever he does is gonna be bad If you love Trump then everything is gonna be good and everyone's gonna be all ohhhhhh I don't get why they're so upset And if you don't care..I mean if your kind of neutral like we are

48:14 You have to take the side of kind of moderation. You can't think that everything he does is a bunch of racist nonsense and it doesn't seem like the type. He just doesn't like the idea, and it was really aimed at Kaepernick who's mixed race as far I can tell I got one more clip here and this kind of goes back to you know people not being allowed to cover the controversy. Not so apparently for Fox Sports host Shannon Sharp, are you familiar with him? Oh yeah. I can't quite talk like him but he's got a crazy way of swallowing everything he says

48:53 The flag, see a lot of people with symbols and patriotism. But what does that symbol actually mean? What does the what does okay you keep telling me that the flag it means so much in this opportunity and freedom than liberties Okay can you honestly say that everybody in America has freedoms and liberties are opportunities no well if you can't answer that then we have a problem and we would like to have it addressed Correct. And stop trying to sweep it under the rug, but see now as long as you paint that narrative Oh is the anthem I can't know anybody that does something to the anthem when we know what the anthem was originally written for and who It was written by okay? The flag okay We understand with the flag What did they represent winded this narrative come to be That the military in the police on the flag and only them go buy a flag

49:44 by They'll fight for a pair of jeans. If that's what we've chosen in 1776, that represents our nation you better believe it anyway Skip the symbol. The symbol of our country What are you talking about? So the symbol of your country is racism so let me get this straight yeah You nailed it by the way! Not only does the national anthem have to go, but also the flag has to go

50:30 Because it's all racist. He was bitching about something and he didn't have, he was a very erudite about explaining it. Well, he's the first guy who started this trend but you see it is becoming a huge racial divide on based on definitions on all the sports channels all the black guys are trying to explain their side All the white guys don't like the explanation

51:15 And it's just the funniest thing you've ever seen is ruining sports talk. It's ruining everything, all these shows that have put blacks in these positions of having to discuss stuff because they're polarized They just decided they're gonna take this perspective and not going to listen anything and the white guys are the same way. But who gives a shit about sports? Yes, exactly. This is like watching one of those so-called tech shows. Yeah you're right it's just as annoying you are so right and they can talk about phones all day well not phones but politics yeah worse worse

51:56 Yeah, this is politics of crept in and that's what I think Bannon said on this clip that we played earlier Where he says people are walking away from the zoo because they don't listen to you know watch ESPN To listen to arguments about politics. They just don't they don't like it They don't want to listen they don't care well there's I think there's reasons for this it isn't It clearly seems intentional that everybody talks about this, and again we came close but missed the mark where you were certain and I agree Huckleberry Finn. That book will have to go. I said Tom Swift the entire early books from the 1900s series will have to go But no! We missed it. We missed it. I can't believe we missed it. That would be Dr Seuss

52:46 Yeah, Dr. Seuss... I have a report too! My report is actually from the local TV station so they have to back off a little bit because we're talking about the Massachusetts super liberal area and if anybody saw the newsletter of course they saw this dingbat librarian who sent back the books that were sent by Melania Trump to her library when I have one thought before you play the clip. And there's another picture of her dressed up in a Dr Seuss costume. That's my favorite one! Extolling the virtues of Dr Seuss, so she is a phony. She is a huge phony and she is looking for political gain and she just wants to make a scene...I thought it was actually

53:31 Show-worthy is what I thought. This is great. It was definitely show worthy But anyway, play your clip then I'll tell you mine No no no, I'd like to play mine after yours. Play yours first? Okay, play mine first A decision by a school librarian in Cambridge Is getting some national attention tonight After First Lady Melania Trump sent books To the school earlier this month As part of National Read-a-Book Day The librarian sent them back NBC Boston's Alicia Palumbo has reaction from Cambridge They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but the librarian here at Cambridge Port Elementary School in Cambridge is judging a shipment of 10 Dr. Seuss books sent to the school by First Lady Melania Trump for National Read-a-Book Day in a lengthy letter titled Dear Mrs. Trump posted to The Horn Book Blog. Librarian Liz Fifth Soyero thanked the first lady for this note she sent to the students but said she was returning the books because quote my school doesn't have a need for these books

54:25 adding, why not go out of your way to gift books to underfunded and underprivileged communities? She also suggested that more thought could have gone into the selection of the book saying Dr. Seuss is a bit of a cliche. Cambridge does not need extra books. Perhaps in nature, the books that are selected could be a bit more thoughtful as well. But while some parents supported the librarian's decision others were surprised any school would turn away at Cornerstone Learning I think all books are readable! You should've said thank you for that but not to send him back. Cambridge Public Schools said it supports its employees' right to voice personal opinions, but noted we have counseled the employee on all relevant policies including donations policies and the policy against public resources being used for political purposes. Given that you are in Cambridge Court I think that's to be expected that they're going make a political statement

55:19 Yes, the book should have been more thoughtful such as I have two mommies. Yeah books like that makes much more sense Well that's actually what she was suggesting books like that I have two mommies But the thing that That i think is overlooked and no one's asked and I and I think it's the most important thing From my perspective or from a deconstruction perspective Is who advised Melania to send anything To that particular library which isn't known super liberal area. I mean, super liberal area? Does she have a staff? Did she just point her finger at some library and in fact the one point that the librarian did make was why are you giving us free books we don't need books once again to some poor library in a bad part of town which I agree with yes who's advising Melania this is what it this is somebody she has working on her staff that should be fired immediately agreed

56:17 Agreed. Yeah, but and actually that is the defense you gave a you gave the perfect defense You could appear on Fox or CNN or MSNBC as a Democratic strategist This is uh, you know when they can't get anybody involved in the story my god That's all I saw this weekend here Republican strategists Democrats of strategist libertarian strategies everyone's a strategist Wait, it just reminds me of yeah ancient astronaut theorist, which is I'm gonna go on my next business card. If you watch any of these shows according to ancient astronaut theorists who then they never bring them out? Who are these ancient astronaut theorists that would be you sir it is now

57:06 Here is ancient astronaut theorist LaDawn Jones, moonlighting as a democratic strategist to explain the note and she makes your point exactly about this being an odd choice of school. And she uses that to pretty much defend the calls that this was racist. I believe i read in the note that it said Dr. Seuss was racist it didn't say Was it what would they say in the clip? It's a term that was kind of funny, like unfortunate choice or whatever it was. We're going to whether or not Dr Seuss had a history of racism in his past and it is true now what we call every cat in the hat every doctor Seus book a picture of bigotry and racism I think that may go a little bit too far but the reality as you know that the librarian that called dr seuss works partly bigotry and racism

58:06 spent the majority of her letter to the First Lady of the United States on something far more substantive. But, of course a conservative who wants to accuse people who bring up racial issues as race baiting will only focus on that part of her letter Here's the reality for many African Americans and people of color in the United States There are parts of American history there are famous people in American history Who we have to take them for their great parts and dismiss them for the parts of them that were brought up in some of the racist and bigotry biggest ways that America had in its history. And so Dr. Seuss, I actually had to once I heard this story pull out our Dr. Seuss books that are on my children's bookshelf and take a closer look at them So I can see exactly what it was that was the complaint. So you look at many of the drawings and you have to put it into context of the times when many of these books were written and you can see there are very stereotypical drawings

58:59 drawings of Asian Americans. Dr. Seuss was known for some very stereotypical blackface drawings prior to the books that most of us are familiar with, he was actually a cartoonist for political ads and so if you do simple Google search in the first few images that will pop up of dr. Seuss you would see where he drew very stereotypical black faced pictures individuals and people portraying stereotypical views of Asian Americans and African-Americans. And let me tell you what's absurd, this librarian who brought up this whole Dr. Seuss issue had a whole two, three, four or five paragraphs before she talked about Dr. Seuss that talked about how ridiculous it was that they used taxpayer dollars to send books over privileged schools that didn't need them but instead of focusing on that very important point that you should agree with since your fiscal conservative you want to focus on the latter part of her letter that talks about dr. Seuss isn't it ridiculous as the first lady in the United States wouldn't know that a school already had all of those comic Dr. Seuss books? I can't believe she sent Dr. Seuss books to a library! She should be in jail

1:00:03 That's Tucker Is that Tucker yeah, he's like surfing in our on our waves from time to time so So what dr. Sue here's the great irony that I just get the biggest kick out of it dr. Seuss Theodore Geis I think is his name? Uh-huh I was in contact with him once when I was doing a sum ah you're racist Molly etymology of the word nerd which apparently he invented. He invented a character called The Nerd and if I ran the zoo that would be... It was 1950, that's the first appearance of this word again. And I had the dictionaries actually were changed after i published this because they never could come up with their... Wait wait whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa So you are responsible for the current dictionary definition of nerd?

1:00:58 Yeah. Holy crap! Before I came along and did this research, they had... it was always like they said well it probably comes from the words NairDuel squeeze together. Nerd, get it? Nerd, there you go. There's no evidence of that so you can trace the first use of the word nerd and a little character that he did which looks like a nerd at the you know computer nerd this little guy in If I Ran The Zoo okay He, the irony to this whole story to me is that Geist was an incredible liberal progressive borderline communist. Lived in California but I'm still completely flabbergasted that you my friend are responsible for the definition of the word nerd in the dictionary

1:01:54 No, that's mostly the etymology. I'm responsible for the etymology The origins of the word are because of this column. I believe this should be on your wiki page Yeah it should be but there is a lot of stuff If it doesn't have anything to do with me hating the Macintosh It won't get on the wiki page That's probably true. Well, we're gonna go come win a circle round to this I have the a couple of clips from the author of The Creature From Jekyll Island which i think is it? Is that I think it's recommended no agenda book It's about the you ever read that stole is that what who wrote that one oh

1:02:35 G. Edward Griffin Oh yeah, that's the one I think that's the original That's the original Yeah it's about the creation of the... Yeah that's the one you want Yeah okay And noagendabooks.com is uh Is a website where you can get all our recommendations So i got a couple clips from him which are interesting But first! I'd like to thank you for your courage and For the dictionary definition Of the word nerd And see in the morning to you John C U L S E stands for capable of slipping into dimension B Dvorak In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry Also in the morning to all ships at sea Boots on the ground Feet in the air Subs in the water And all the dames and knights out there Ah!

You'll be dead My wife still wonders why I subject myself to the pain and suffering of listening to what's happening stateside. Her words. Anyways...

Before I needed dedouching here is a down payment on a knighthood so we'll see this. You've been DEDOUCHED! I'm gonna give him some karma since he's new. I think it asks for it. You've got karma. Can never hurt.

1:09:02 The problem I have here is because, and this is my fault because I actually sent this note in to Eric to plug-in. And it's like clogged up the whole screen. Adam & John!

1:09:41 Yeah, 1010 this show has literally helped me retain my sanity through all the doom and gloom that is fed to everyone via The m5m I've been a spin. He's a he says he's been a freeloading douchebag Must have given one oh my goodness About six years until my wife called me out Huh, at that point I realized they had no excuse so i've been on the $50 a month plan since then which give me de-douching it shouldn't have been so hasty. You've been dedouched! I realized a few months back that i passed the knighthood threshold but decided to hold off the knighthood until the stars aligned on show 969 my birthday 33 is 969 palindrome as well as the number 69 were too much to pass up we do not have him on the birthday list that I know of. Oh, I think he has it seems to be highlighted in yellow

1:10:37 I read Inside Track from my dad's PC magazine stack since I was probably 10. So John's cynical take on technology was what interested me in the show initially! I didn't grow up with TV or MTV, in this case—well good for you—so I hadn't been exposed to Adam before but I couldn't think of a better pair!" And that would include me. The different but complementary life experiences that you both draw on makes the show a true joy to be part of. Kudos for pioneering this model, it's true we pioneered it to express your viewpoints without being beholden beholden to these horrible advertisers NJNK I just wish to be knighted as Sir GIS Jedi Knight of the Gem City

1:11:24 I'd like to request a McCallon to take the place of mutton. You can't take the place of mutton with another booze. No, we need... So it'll be McCallon and mead? Mmmmm what do we- We need McCallon and something! We need to add something. McCallon and... Yeah, I don't know He could be McCallon and Dim- I got it since he's in Singapore, let's make it McCallon and Dimsum. Dimsum is on the list for the roundtable good one As not being much of a meat eater I'd prefer well dim sums not much meat I much prefer a good scotch. Oh, and thanks also to JC for this great recommendation that ended up starting me on a minor Scotch obsession. Good! McCallan well you're not only in this minor Scotch obsession but your bank account is going to fade. Yeah. You know McCallon used to be used to get...I'm gonna just throw this out there. He's really get McCallon 25 for $125 and anybody who buys McCallon

1:12:25 We'll really appreciate hearing that. What does it cost now? Probably double that no, I know it's around 500 For 25 is really expensive. It's outrageous. It's not like you know, it hasn't been sitting there didn't do anything As a mccallan as someone who really does like me gallon If you really like McAllen, the one you want is the McCallon 18. Oh... okay That's the one you want And what does that go for? The 12 is good The 18 is probably 150-180 bucks something like that Maybe I don't know I have I don't buy it but uh that's but is Connoisseurs will tell you that McCallon 18 Is better than 25 and I got into an argument at a scotch bar with a guy You don't say

1:13:13 So I'm saying, so what kind of guy and I'm not that you know, I must. And the guy says to me this guy's what's what McAllen do like? I said, I like the McCallon twenty five and he says why is I said. Well, because it's really smooth and it reminds me of a good cognac. And the guy says well then it ain't scotch is it? Did you bop him right in the nose? And then he said, so McCallon 18 you won. So I just... since he beat me on that one I had to give into that logic Anyway, okay. It's not too much to ask my software companies in need of cloud engineers in the Dayton area And I'd love to talk with you about the interesting work We do you can find me on Twitter or at github did GIS Jedi Jedi hmm all right should be a night boy he NJNK and He'll be a knight later on so looking forward to that yep absolutely dad we dropped his associate executive producer with

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has a plan to do it releasing video that imagines a rocket taking travelers from New York to Shanghai in just 39 minutes. Musk claims that eventually a seat would cost about the same as an economy plane ticket but the rocket which is also intended for missions to Mars is still in the design phase. Oh Elon

1:16:40 But what is it with the is that like a hitchhiking hand in the galaxy or someone's out stretching their hands a very? No idea. I don't have the quarter for you should take a look I bet Tina and I really looked at it like this kind of had a lot of symbolism Yeah, a lot of stuff going on NATO symbol the 42 I'd also because got 4 to maybe that hand is actually from Hitchhikers guide did the Galaxy right well we know as a joke It is they do a lot if they do a lot of jokes like these coins yeah, it's obviously It's cool though, I like it so I appreciate whoever sent it to me. Send me an email let me know And a reminder that we will have another program coming up on Thursday A lot to cover Whatever happens today and tonight in Spexit We'll cover that if possible You always need to remember that the model only works If you help us, you support us with your information Your jingles, your clips...your artwork AND the finances To keep this show running because you're the producers And you can do that at devorak.org slash n-a

1:17:36 So while you are following the coverage of Spexit after the show, why not propagate the formula? Our formula is this. We go out we hit people in the mouth. All righty since you talked about The Rocket... Well I uh okay yes do a little rocket uh intermezzo okay Musk Oh no. Aw, jeez... OH ELON! How would you like to get anywhere on Earth in under an hour? SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has a plan to do it releasing video that imagines a rocket taking travelers from New York to Shanghai in just 39 minutes. Musk claims that eventually a seat would cost about the same as an economy plane ticket but the rocket which is also intended for missions to Mars is still in the design phase. Oh Elon

1:18:40 This guy can say anything he wants. Anything he wants a rocket you hit Adam Yeah, I got a rocket a rocket ride from your right from backyard there to Perth for 150 bucks in an hour half-hour Come on You know just about rockets and space and and And just tie in North Korea James Woolsey Let me see According to James Woolsey, the North Koreans have a couple of satellites which I think is well known. They have satellites correct? They got some satellites floating around... Yeah they do! I don't know if they've two but i know they got one Well one or the one is known as the EMP satellite according to Woolsey and I'm still looking for verification and or a clip that would be great former director CIA

1:19:38 He says that one satellite, they call the EMP satellite has a nuclear device intended to be triggered if necessary to explode in space above the United States which it crosses twice a day. Which could possibly or more than likely create an electromagnetic pulse and cripple us! It's a great thought...it's I mean... It's a great thought yeah Well, he's got the right costume for it. He does so I need to find confirmation this really came from wolves. Probably is but when you think about it why wouldn't you if you could do? It would make nothing but sense yeah well then the Russians have them crisscrossed oh I wouldn't do it wouldn't do crap

1:20:34 Well, let's go on with it. We're gonna talk about North Korea then you might as well I want to come back to yes now we all we both know Morel Mike Morel Stop stop what I teased in the a block was the wrap-up of the racial tension and the divide remember completely no If I had remembered, I'd let you un-tease it. But... I thought we were just going to do another one of those teases that we just never get into? No! Actually, no, I told ya' I have three clips of G. Edward Griffin. Remember?! Yeah, yeah, you shouldn't be doing that teasing thing. Oh. Well...

1:21:09 Before- I'm sorry, I just teased it because before we go into it... ...I have a little clip from the most recent Bill Maher show on HBO. Wait now you're gonna extend the tease? Yes! It's more of set up than a tease. Okay well that is fine. It's getting pretty technical John. I don't know if some of the audience cares that much They don't Alright He had April Ryan on, you know her from CNN's. John Heilman who I think you know right? Yeah, yeah he is pretty much the voice of reason here and Tom Morello who is now tagged as an activist And it was...I always loved when Mark goes against the narrative of the left

1:21:53 Because he's good at it, and he's very sincere. And that's why I think he still watchable actually for the no agenda producer or host He's extremely watchable because it's just funny to see people say crazy stuff and this was about the morality of punching a Nazi So this is a... I remember the guy, there was a photo that went viral. Some guy who was... It wasn't he didn't have swastikas but he had some kind of neo-nazi... it was literally neo-Nazi esque type uniform that he's wearing. Okay And so the question is when someone does that what should you do?

1:22:38 And apparently it's considered okay by some people on the panel to punch a person like that. Just punch him? Yeah, and there is reasoning behind it But we have to go by principles and not feelings That what the other side does You can't just punch Nazis The first amendment says government cant pass laws that abridge free speech I mean, I grew up in a home with an anti-fascist. This is Heilman by the way he's pretty...voice of reason here He was my uncle who was a World War II veteran who fought against fascism and if he was riding that bus and saw a Nazi symbol of someone who wanted to throw all Jews into ovens and ethnically cleanse all colored people from the planet My 90 year old uncle if it was alive would have punched that son of bitch in the face And I would've had his back See, voice of reason.

1:23:38 Oh, honey. They threw Jews into ovens! Got any more questions? Is throwing Jews into ovens violence? This guy was not throwing Jews into ovens... He's intimidating using an insignia that breeds hate and it's talking about death But I don't think he was- It wasn't a swastika armband He didn't actually use the swastikas as far as I recall from the photo But it looked very, it was neo-Nazi for sure. But this misinformation is tough to bear. So we get to punch him in the face?

1:24:14 I don't believe in violence. allowed to march. I mean this is what the First Amendment says, even if something is odious this is America you are allowed to express it. If you throw the principle out the window and just say it's how I feel then you're just as bad as them

1:24:53 I'm not as bad, just because I want Nazis to be punched is not making me as bad as people who wanna throw all Jewish balls in the oven. We all want them to be punched. But you know here's the problem we live in a nation of laws. Confronted by better speech and more speech that's the kind of principle here. The notion is obviously if someone is about to do violence notice nobody nobody claps for that when he says hey more speech and better speeches the answer everyone's quiet because come on man it's a Nazi you should punch him in the face. More speech, that ain't got a principle here which is called inciting violence notion as I think that obviously if someone who's about to do violence there's someone shows up with our torch or with a club and just threatening someone punching that torch

1:25:36 about to do violence. If someone shows up with a torch or with a club and is threatening someone, punching that person is fine but you should be allowed again according to Bill's principles the first amendment of the constitution all things we believe you should be able to speak without being punched in the face. It's Omaha Beach. Or sit on a bus, so we should be able to say that we hate Nazis, we hate Nazism, we hate fascism or against it without also saying we don't like violence There is this dog whistle that has been going around the nation and people are listening to the call and the problem is some of these old laws need to be revisited because they just don't fit some of what's going on These old crazy laws! Like what's that first one again?

1:26:21 Oh yeah, that free speech thing. We gotta revisit that! Congress shall make no law against free speech. The limitations on punching needs to be revisited No we need to add it that there's an exception to the rule You must punch a nut sometimes Congress shall make no rule against punching a Nazi if he's throwing a Jew in the oven. It has been going around the nation and people are listening to the call, and the problem is some of these old laws need to be revisited because they just don't fit some what is going on And bottom line, he has freedom of speech but yes he was intimidating inciting and that is not right. Inciting? This is what bothers me Here's the irony of this

1:27:04 She's talking about, you know he was inciting by sitting on a bus like a nerd in case you want to know how they just look it up with an armband. And that is inciting violence. Incite is the specific word, I told you to track this, that the Supreme Court said if speech incites violence then it is not protected by the First Amendment but what they are doing is in fact inciting violence by saying it's okay to punch a Nazi Irony is just lost on these people. to

1:28:16 has reigned in the United States of America. But they did it in a peaceful and non-violent way, in Boston? Very effectively! That's what they did! They felt comfortable marching without hoods there because they are now without hoods in the Oval Office and that is where it stands. I'm going to say something. Harry Belafonte says... Oh yeah baby we got the hoods in the Oval Office! Nice one Morel! Hold on just a second let me get this. Meyers said something important there, I believe. We have become certainly the United States and i think it's a worldwide phenomenon we have become um a nation of activism which is not done through any actual actions other than

1:28:56 Virtue signaling, changing your icon on Twitter or the face bag and taking a knee. That's it! That's all it takes anymore that's all you need to someone else to take care of the actual problem somehow we've been conditioned into if I say something on facebag then I am doing something And that's all. This isn't, to me is not new I mean we've become yes but when did we become? I think we became almost the day the internet was in play once uh once the actual browsers came into existence around 93 So before so after Gopher Yeah yeah luckily Squirrel Mail still there

1:29:37 Go for it. She's always named after rodents Well that, that's because of O'Reilly. O'Reilly's books Always had animals for the explanation Gopher came before O'Reilly I can assure you Anyway The point is is that um... I noticed this even before we started doing the show where there would be some Some law that we had to not pass and so everybody made a big fuss on the internet about it It sucks! We can't do this And then it passed because and everybody stopped bitching about it because it was like they did their part. For some reason, everybody thinks they did their part when they make their complaint on Facebook which we which I still believe we should make a daily or sorry every show feature reading some of the crap you run into

1:30:28 Because it's these are people that they've got it out of their system. They wrote there their poison pen letter, open letter to the public so glad you asked. And I think they have accomplished something thats what that librarian did instead of just sending books back or not doing anything and putting a picture in her frame collecting it she made a big fuss and she made a big virtue signaling is exactly what it is. You didn't do anything. And nobody does anything, that's all they do is they sit on their duffs and then they write these nasty notes and think it accomplished something. That's why Trump won and that's why Trump will win again. Would you like a little face bag read? I would love it!

1:31:10 This is... By the way, stop. Was that part of the tease? Is the tease over or were you...? The tease is over I'm ready to go but if you want it was very smooth thank you I can do a little face bag read if you want though That's what I always want okay this is from Amy Siskind she is president co-founder of The New Agenda former Wall Street exec And she's an advocate for women and LGBT rights. I'm very happy. Good for her. She has been tracking her weeks, or actually the weeks of authoritarianism. Oh! This week DHS informed 21 states they were targeted by Russia strangely a year later on late afternoon on Friday. Huh?

1:31:56 Trump, who benefited from a slight approval rating reprieve courtesy of positive media coverage continues to deny- Where was this? Yeah! Mainstream media's all in for Trump. What are you talking about? Get off my feed. Get off my wall Trump, who benefited from a slight approval rating reprieve courtesy of positive media coverage continues to deny Russian involvement and to act erratically in unbefitting the office on both foreign policy and domestic issues. Trump also continues to ignore what is shaping up to be a humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico! And then she has a list which is quite lengthy but it's really what happened during the week

1:32:38 that proves that we are in a authoritarian state. I would say it's an authoritarian death spiral. Yeah, that's even better! Number one... In the series of bizarre Sunday morning tweets Trump referred to Kim Jong-un as Rocket Man retweeted criticism of New York Times story and re tweeted two of his own tweets! Don't you know your not supposed to do that? Actually, I actually got you know. I sometimes are retweet the no agenda quotes if I like it Yeah, people take offense that you're treating yourself man yeah Since when did this become returning is your re-tweeting as some but with something somebody drew from the show? It's worse because it's my quote. I guess or something then I'm retweeting myself. No you're not I think now I think they're wrong in there III know these rules to

1:33:35 Trump also retweeted a gif of him hitting Hillary with a golf ball in the head, sparking criticism for the violent imagery against the female political opponent. Of course elected Republicans remained silent. You really do like this segment don't you? I love it! Three... The original account of the Golf GIF was from atfuckedupmind whose Twitter feed is full of racist, anti-semitic and anti LGBTQ tweets. Hmmmm? You know why he got that? He probably follows him! Uh... 4 Trump began his first UN remarks by mentioning Trump World Tower Oh yeah! I actually saw great potential right across the street to be honest with you It's kind of a news rundown But then i'll just skip down a little bit Here we go 11

1:34:32 Pew Research reported America's image has suffered since Trump took office. In a survey spanning 37 nations, only 22% of confidence Trump is doing the right thing in international affairs which Obama had 64%. Take that! Didn't say take that... Sure does Really? Yeah Let me see what else we have There were some weird ones even weirder Oh boy There's some immigration stuff, you want to hear that? I'm telling you here is what you gotta do. You have to take this segment more seriously. I think your right. I really have to shape it into a fewer segment And that means you gotta find these things like this and then you have to do some editing So you can go through the list and just read them. Not edit... I understand what your saying. Your right i do have to do that Yeah take chunks out but don't edit obviously the wordage because its the best part But I think there is a gold mine here

1:35:33 You could, I think you could do just a podcast. A standalone. The Week in Facebag posts. Because it seems more interesting than the YouTube video compilations Just these people ranting but again it brings us back to our original point which is they think they're accomplishing something They get out of their system and they've done their part In fact they've done nothing but bitch Yes Okay, so I will do that. But we'll take the segment seriously you kind of caught me off guard and didn't realize you wanted it and now i understand how important it is to the show So I will duty bound It's only important to this show as comic relief Sometimes were not that funny Now we're gonna kinda wrap all this up with three clips that I found on a podcast

1:36:26 which was the nice part about it. So, it's not mic'd very well but is not horrible to listen to. Not as bad... much better than we've heard in the past. G. Edward Griffin author of The Creature from Jekyll Island which is about the I guess secret meeting that took place at Jekyll Island right off...is that Georgia? Jekyll island? I don't remember. Yeah, I think it is where the Federal Reserve was created the control of money yeah the central bank of the United States. By the Rothschild! Yes by the Rothschild now His what he and I think these are the what do you know about Griffin besides this book? I mean, it's a serious guy anything about him. I could look him up on the Wikipedia as we speak And maybe I can find something yeah once you do that while I start off these with his first name It's G Edward Griffin so I don't know what the g stands for but G Edward Griffin But if his book has been on the no agenda recommended booklets for a long time And I've read it certainly then is in oh

1:37:23 or O-A-I-B, I-N. There he is okay go on well tell me what does it say? Well he's still alive i guess yes oh he's an older gentleman he's probably in his late 30s born at 31 he's an American far right conspiracy theorist there you go that's how it starts yeah okay we'll stop because if you listen to this in that headspace yeah of course He is discussing the divide and conquer strategy that has been ongoing for a long time, not just against the United States but certainly is coming to ahead. He actually has a name for the stage that we're in right now but first of all start with him trying to explain the divide and conquer strategy

1:38:07 Well, I think that the only way to understand this so-called confusion because i don't think it really is confusion. I think the confusion as part of the design put those two things together. I think what we're seeing is the unfolding of um...I would call it a master plan uh that was uh It's nothing new in the old days We used to study it in history books and was called divide and conquer But today it's called information dominance and different names, but it boils down to the same thing. There is a group of people in the world who have an agenda And it's not in our best interest. It's a group that really doesn't have a name, different people call it different things they call the powers to be you know because we can't really put a handle on it. The deep stage or the oligarchy and all of those words are valid in a sense but the fact of the matter is in my view that there is a group of people

1:39:03 that are pretty much running the show behind the scenes. And they're not the ones that we read too much about in the newspapers, and they're not the ones we vote for when going to the polls. They are these hidden forces, the ones which control the money system. If you can control money in the world, you've got a big long lever as you can imagine. As Lord Rothschild said couple of centuries ago he says I care not who passes laws as long as I have ability to make them money because you can buy the politicians and you can pay for the armies that will put the kings on the throne, and so forth. So those with really deep pockets if you want to simplify it are certainly in that category—and they're not the only ones by the way but they're in the category because they can literally buy up nations! And meanwhile people are going to polls voting for candidates who have been selected by these more hidden forces and they think their participating in their own political destiny

1:40:03 because they vote for candidate A or candidate B and the candidates are always arguing against each other so we got a choice here right well not really because they agree on very fundamental issues that are important. So it's it's very no agenda thinking, I don't think is that crackpot conspiracy what I found The interesting is that what we typically have called divide and conquer has now called things like information dominance. And it hit me, this is why guys like Congressman Adam Schiff who's on the Intelligence Committee are so adamant about this and so freaked out about the Russian ads on Twitter because that is all I think really the intelligence agencies do anymore.

1:40:50 they're probably much more engrossed in propagandistic practices, information dominance making sure that stuff spreads through social networks. I mean the FBI director had... Mueller the guy investing the president had an office in face bag when he was director of the FBI so I think that's why they're all freaked out about this or why they're using it to blame Russia perhaps. Maybe it was them doing all this stuff, trying... It backfired! Who knows? But it seems to me that I like that information dominance. I hadn't thought about it that way, is that actually the new version of divide and conquer? I like it! This guy, he's nuts but that doesn't mean he's not right about certain things and we have to remember the tech experts Hillary had in place and remember internet in a suitcase

1:41:51 That guy was great. Yes, wait a minute do we still have that? Let me see, I bet you we have a clip still. Yes! Internet in the suitcase? Let me see... This may be an end of show thing. I get a lot of invitations to speak these days but most of them are a lot less cool than this one Usually the cool invitations go to my colleague Ian Shuler who's our resident techie in the Bureau of Human Rights Democracy and Labor. Ian is going to speaking later this afternoon on a panel with Sasha Minrath about the Internet in a Suitcase program that we're doing funding and it's being done here at New America. Yeah, good times! The Internet in a suitcase... yeah sounds like a bad ISP ad We tried to fit into a box instead we're giving you internet in a suitcase enjoy your internet

1:42:43 That was all during the Hillary period. So let's continue clip two with Griffin from The Creature of Jekyll Island and he is going to link more of this strategy now to current events. This is the long view, big view so the strategy that these people have been using and I've studied this for a long time they're very clear about it if you get their documents in their books And you'll find they're very frank about the way to take over a system is to divide it and get everybody at each other's throat. The concept of us against them, and if you can get violence in the streets... This is this, the communists were masters of this in the day of communist revolutions and so forth They have written textbooks on that, I studied those as a young guy

1:43:40 I was really curious to how these things work and they say go into a country never if we're going to be interested in taking over that country from the inside. So the way you do it is you look for something where there is a potential division now, in some countries that might be religion or might be a great clash of religion in some right and others that might be racial In others, it might be economic status. Whatever it is let's find what it is and we will try and go into both sides and we will agitate one side against the other until finally if we generate violence ourselves, we'll actually hire people who are experts at this but also will use inflammatory propaganda so that we'll bring out of the woodwork people who are innocent

1:44:25 And we see this going on right now in America today. The left versus the right, there's no difference between them and you look who is financing these people? I think we were talking a moment ago about there was a demonstration or protest coming up and Antifa is busting in people from all over the country. Well who's paying for these buses? This is not a grassroots movement. This is funded, this is orchestrated, this is theater! The left fighting the right though. They think they're left and right are you bored? No, I thought you were clicking something no, no smashing a Tin can okay my fists

1:45:06 I know, you gotta stay sharp. They think they're left and right because they've been told or some white nationalists who are fed up with being told that they're hateful people and they don't like all of the privileges given to these violent black groups funded by George Soros... They think that's not fair! How come these people can get away with violence and hatred? And then call us the haters so they get mad! Everybody gets ticked off And so this is the trick. They're trying to get people from both sides, the genuine people fooled and angered and blinded by passion and hatred. Now we really have a race war you see but it wouldn't never have happened if it hadn't been orchestrated and financed and strategized from the very beginning So when you ask me the question what's my take on it I see this merely as the continuation of this strategy that has been known

1:45:59 by political scientists for a long time. This is nothing new, it's nothing mysterious you can go to any well-stocked library and get books on this strategy." While you still can I wouldn't be so sure of that in the future. Yeah they'll always...books will always be available because nobody reads them. Well there's that! The more I listen to the hymn, and just thinking of other stuff that we've played this morning... ...the more i'm thinking that this may all be a desperate cover-up. Because yeah! The ads that the Russians put there? The Russian's? The Russian IPSes? Yeah. I have a feeling those were originated in the United States by people who actually have this strategy in mind

1:46:43 And it's probably historically from socialist groups or anti-fascists. Actually, and I wish I had the document for this because I was going to bring it up on a show and I forgot about it... There is actually an American strategy which really goes beyond what he's talking about that goes beyond what those old socialist groups did The idea that we have from an intelligence perspective Is to set up parallel operations exact parallel operations. You go into a country and there's the, you know some party, the MLF... Right you get the pro camp and the contra camp. And that's a group and well you do parallels so you set up a group claiming to be the same as them. Oh!

1:47:31 So you have your group and you know those guys are the phonies. Well so that would be Black Lives Matter versus blacktivists Exactly Wow it is the strategy, gotta find out what strategy this is This is an American strategy that was developed I think it was developed out of Monterey or one of these of military think tanks and there's books about it. And the guy who is responsible for some colonel or something, but I had all these details and I don't know what I did how I lost it but I remember reading all this stuff like this is the way to do it Somebody sets up shop and this is all counterintelligence stuff. Somebody sets up shop doing, selling something and claiming to be the king of it. It's almost a marketing strategy. You set up the exact same program

1:48:18 that is just the same thing. You claim it to be the same, it does the same stuff and everything like and now you're in competition. And at some point since you got the funding, you could put the other guys out of business. That's in a marketing sense. In the political sense, it's exactly what we saw with the black activist thing. You set up shop, they supposedly got as popular as the other ones if they didn't, they could claim they were? No, we're more popular than they are but check it out then you co-opt then you can co-opt... Following this theory, and I'm totally on board. Following that so we have the exact textbook being implemented The Twitter account was at Blacktivists So they're following the exact same strategy Then we have the scripted Anderson Pooper interview where they don't even question the popularity because look! They're more successful than the other group John, you've nailed it

1:49:16 It's that strategy, but it's an American strategy. Yes! It is an American strategy this is not something you find in those old books So its even worse than it appears as the strategy is purposely being unfolded and exposed by saying oh look what has been happening Well in this case it's to blame the Russians Well, no they're blaming the Russians because no they don't want anyone to know. Yeah that's what I mean that's what you have to do You can't give away the fact that this is all of you! I know so they're pulled there What i'm saying is They are highlighting it To make it worse Right exactly And here's the final clip This is uh

1:50:04 See oh yeah the consolidation phase. That's the final phase of this strategy Let's see if we're close to it. There's the final phases thing is called consolidation. That's what And the consolidation phase comes when finally, the population is so frightened and so fed up by this violence which they think is genuine. They think it's...they think the whole country has gone crazy but in fact its .0000001% you know? But orchestrated and always doing their theater performance in front of cameras that's the... So that the vision to the rest of the country is that this is everywhere

1:50:40 And so with 5, 10 thousand people you can make it look like this is a national revolution. So the idea is to get the poor bloke at home drinking his beer and watching his television or whatever he drinks maybe its tea and says hey Myrtle look at this country's coming apart I mean they're going to be in our streets pretty soon Now, everybody's set up. If there is a real clash and some real blood in the streets, these same groups who have their people in government as well will say, Well we're going to declare martial law! We're gonna put an end of this violence. And unfortunately so many people are going to say Oh thank goodness we have martial law because they see it as restoring peace. But once the martial law is in place that's the consolidation

1:51:31 That's when there is no even a question of free speech. There you go, then I think we're close to that phase We're way beyond that face with it when the what's-that-act national something act that came in right after 9 11 Patriot acts the patriot Patriots what they're talking about and that were way beyond that so I don't think or anything new coming up Patriot act but your aim the only thing this new was the internet for the strategy. the CIA invasion of Guatemala in 1957 or so, which uses exact same strategy that he's describing where you just make it seem like all hell is breaking loose using the media. Right and it was wag the dog strategy? Yeah totally wag the dog and they just took over the place, the guy nobody ever heard of And I'm going to go complete crackpot on ya

1:52:37 They started this with the Muslim Islam thing, the crazy ISIS thing. Those videos which have disappeared because the budget has gone... The videos of high-end super beautiful multiple effects multi camera great effects Special effects, fire and brimstone. These were great videos that they were making! They mean...they were just beautiful! It cost a lot of money to make that We're pretty sure it was a Turkish director who did at least one of them And um That really wasn't catching hold You know? It's gooey you don't want to see that Ehh blood chopping off heads even though you curious never release there was snipped out bit out Now the budget shifted now its all doing this and its much more effective

1:53:23 And, you know following that it just explains everything. Somehow something went wrong in the entire system and Trump... jeez he got I mean we all know it's Hillary's fault so that's what that's what the elites are saying God she can't do anything right now we gotta take care of it okay call in the blocktivists Well, they're definitely freaked out. It's spreading though this whole thing is spreading the Antifa and the Nazis it's too bad for once it's too bad This isn't video. This is Sweden They now have what they call neo-nazis clashing with anti fascists or antifa

1:54:08 But most of these people just look like people. There's no uniforms, there is no nothing... Then they show a bunch of guys standing with flags which are I would say more like white nationalist flags not neo-nazi, but let's just call them Nazis. The neo-Nazi rally in Sweden has ended in dozens of arrests after anti fascists clashed with members of the Nordic Resistance Movement or NMR. Hundreds of members of the NMR had planned to march through Gothenburg but trouble broke out between police and far right group when members tried to deviate from agreed route

1:54:46 The leader of the NMR, Simon Lindbergh was among those arrested. Some anti-fascists were also detained. The NMR describes itself as a national socialist group and is not banned It aims to stop mass migration and fight what it calls the global Zionist elite Police were deployed from across Sweden to help manage the rally So they've... Oh! We got uh... Here we go. We've got neo-Nazis although it's just a group that is anti immigration Yeah, it sounds like a... And I think they have some valid points. The uh.. So let's go- Let's go listen to them. Just one last thing for you and then i'm done. See this was merely a trans- like a transition into this one which proves now that we have the DCS that's what i'm calling it divide and conquer strategy the DCS now they're going to spread this to a program

1:55:45 I think i was searching for it that's why i got the ad for the trailer for the new series of Berlin Station. Europe is in chaos, Germany will rise. Deutschland! The party is seeking to up the ante on the spike and far-right hate crimes you're going deep cover with neo nazis we think he's planning an attack to swing the election in your favor. Deutschland! Langley doesn't know what we're doing this is all out the box if he thinks for one second that he's being played Who says there are no friends in espionage? Berlin Station returns October 15th only on Epix. Now, Berlin Station is a great show! Yeah that's why I was looking for it you told me to watch it

1:56:28 Yeah, have you watched the first season? I haven't watched anything. Oh, well, I was searching for it That's what that's why I got the idea What do you want to watch is the first season and it's very dark It's very grim its guy got a Rubicon like element to it as a lot of corruption Neo-nazis are planning an attack on the elections Is probably something being set up by the CIA this very anti CIA I think In fact, I think it's extremely anti-CIA. I'm surprised it's on the air. So let's hear from Hillary because she's kind of part of this scheme and a part of the elites. She's the one who blew it? Yes! And she's part of DCS.

1:57:12 And so she's gotta stay out there. It's almost as if, well you didn't get the job but you've got to keep working because you did a crappy job and now you're gonna be out on the... She never stumped so much in her life and she is out with everybody spreading bullcrap as much as she can. Here she is with Charlie Rose. In 2016, Hillary Clinton received more votes than any other US presidential candidate in history except for President Obama. Yet despite winning the popular vote, she lost the election What happened? Is the title of the candidates... Just on the math I'm sorry just on the math Isn't it so that um that's the population grows That she actually messed it up She should have had more than Obama

1:58:01 Of course she had more than George Washington, there weren't that many people. She kind of sucked! She's done better than George Washington! In 2016 Hillary Clinton received more votes than any other US presidential candidate in history except for President Obama yet despite winning the popular vote she lost the election what happened is the title of the candidates new memoir I accept a lot of the criticism i got because yeah, I do think policies matter. worried sick about this move by the Republicans to do this phony health care bill. I'm worried because at the end of this week, the Children's Health Insurance Program which insures eight or nine million kids may not get reauthorized It matters Charlie! I see the lives of people who are affected by these policies so yes i care a lot about it but more than that I think the job is supposed

1:58:58 really humble you. That is what I've seen, I remember sitting in the Oval Office two days after 9-11 with George W Bush. The, you know the funny. He was humbled I looked into his eyes...I knew the shock and pain he must feel and you know was there to ask for help for New York which she promised and delivered on. I've been with Barack Obama in a situation room Hey hey wait a minute Wait a minute Big thing has always been I was there! I went through it with New York on 9-11 No she didn't

1:59:39 She was in the Oval. Well, it sounds like from this story here stories change I would like to check the validity of this story somehow as she makes it sound like they had 9-11 she's in there conferencing with Bushes because because she so important as As the junior senator from New York yeah It just bull crap You know, was there to ask for help for New York which he promised and delivered on. I've been with Barack Obama in the Situation Room making really difficult decisions including whether you go after Osama Bin Laden No! Obama was upstairs wasn't he having a sandwich?

2:00:19 Well, that's during the decision-making process. She was in the Situation Room with her smelling her finger in that photograph as you recall... During the actual event. That was a great photo! And it also became one of the great memes. People in the background were photoshopped in. Whether you go after Osama bin Laden and you first have to say there are limits to what we know And we have to operate within an environment in which we know, we will never know everything. And that humbles you. Now we seem to have a president who doesn't care and doesn't know what he doesn't know who operates totally viscerally based on his gut. His highest and most favored response is that yell of the crowd that consists of people

2:01:16 support him, who buy into him, who love him. Who can see no wrong in anything that he does and I think it's a dangerous time. I've said i think that his presidency poses a clear and present danger to our country. Meaning what? Meaning several things... meaning another version of the definition of the First Amendment that if you have speech that incites a violence or is it clear and present danger, it's not protected. This is unbelievable what they're doing! Yes I do. Meaning what? Meaning several things to continue to divide this country along race and religion ethnicity gender

2:01:57 is really doing damage. You can see it already in some of the blowback and backlash that we're seeing, whether it's Silicon Valley fighting over women and tech or seeing the kinds of... That's a great example! It's tech. It's funny that she would bring them as her primary example. That's your number one example. How about coercing? Because Silicon Valley supports these Democrats That's even dumber, isn't it? It is so dumb. This is like one of those stupid things where you go after your support base. It's like you shouldn't even mention this in tech or seeing the kinds of bullying that's going on and schoolyards and what parents are having to tell their kids after they hear something that the president said You know we are E Pluribus Unum I believe that I cherish that from anyone yes And all of a sudden

2:02:53 It's divide and conquer on every front. Go after those black athletes who are exercising their constitutional rights because you know, you think maybe your base will like it." Get that son of a bitch off the field right now! Out! He's fired!" I just find that so troubling Notice how they don't put that...it's out of context? Of course By saying instead of the full quote which is, I wish one of the owners would say No, they just put that in. Unbelievable! ...conspiratorial rights because you know you think maybe your base will like it... Get that son of a bitch off the field right now out he's fired I just find that so troubling and so there is danger to our social fabric I knew that going into the campaign certainly thinking about being president i knew id have to do alot of work with people who didn't support me who believed alot of lies about me

2:03:50 who were on the other side of the partisan divide, but I thought that's what you should expect a president to do. Build the wall! Wow they're really exposing the strategy now and really just out there with it she so dumb Yes, they're telling you what the strategy is. And the irony of course is that it's the Democrats who are the big identity politics people who are doing all the dividing as opposed to Trump and of course if you take him out of context he's a big divider there's no doubt about it and then of course doesn't care according to some people. Space where the risk is now elevated just got a new alert letting you know Okay well if this place starts shaking I'll let you know

2:04:37 So I found the whole thing to be, you know classic Hillary's good jumping from one thing to another but they're making her work. Yeah! You're not getting any more money from us, you better make money off that book. Yeah. Though i don't think she ever will, I think she got this huge advance...I don't know what it was but there's millions Oh, I don't think-it was probably lower than normal, it was probably a three million maybe? No no, I don't think so. Hmm. No, the publishers, you gotta remember they're all left wingers And they support, you know they throw money at these people like Hillary and Obama. Just as part of the... it's what you're supposed to do is the right thing to do. Yes. Alright I want take a little break unless you wanted transition in with something else? Well i did have one ABC whip saw example but its not classic

2:05:32 Explain the whipsaw. The whipsaw is where they say, well the way things are going it's gonna...the world's coming to an end tomorrow and then they go to a clip of somebody saying hey weather is great here in Michigan yeah just complete non sequitur. It's like a non-sequitor in action but they But the way they do it, they do it very professionally. In fact I have some good examples of that So you don't notice it and it makes it sound as though they've just proven the point when they haven't proven anything. Tom Price, Steve Bannon- They say something and then they kind of prove it with a clip that's something else but let's this is a... Let's even catch this interesting little one. Tom Price, Steve Bannon Michael Flynn, Sean Spicer Reince Priebus among many others out of this administration tonight some Republicans on the Hill have demanded an investigation into the spending here

2:06:24 David, Republicans and Democrats on the Hill are demanding a full accounting of administration travel. And just now the president's budget director sent out new guidelines to White House officials on the appropriate use of government and private aircraft. Okay so what they've done here is they've...and I'm not going to use the word conflated or whatever that other word was He asked a question about their doing an investigation of spending boom spending yeah And she says, yes. They're doing an investigation of travel. That's what I heard too! That was great. It's like wait... Now she had said yes they're doing an investigation of the spending in and around travel

2:07:14 That would be okay, kind of. But the generality that they're going to do an investigation around spending and she says yes! They're gonna do an investigation around travel... This will not last very long They need to stop, they I'm saying they and they would be people like Pelosi and Schumer. And they need to stop it because if you really start digging and you start looking at the private air rent a private aircraft rental by Congresspeople I mean, it's out of control. Yeah, I wouldn't mind someone looking again at the bogus stock act that Obama signed into law where you still have total legality for insider trading based upon the laws that you're writing for any congressional staffer even not just a congressman and women but for staffers

2:08:06 They can make it be a place, stock buys and sells based upon information they have. It's legal for them! They need to keep people... this needs to be kept at bay." Well it looks as if part of this is going to be used because they keep mentioning Mnuchin. Yeah he's gonna be used to get him out and that'll be his way to get out. He wants it we told you so So I think Mnuchin is gonna get out that way? I don't know how Cohen's gonna get out He hasn't been in the crosshairs. Yeah, he's got to find a ruse... ...to save face. We'll see. Well before we thank some more people I want to thank AtArener for graciously taking over migrating the entire NoAgendaSocial.com server and everything to his own infrastructure was starting to cost upwards of $150 a month for me. I didn't know this went on!

2:09:06 You mean the payment or the, uh... No I didn't know about the payment but I didn't know about moving to an infrastructure that's Yeah and he did it in the middle of the night. I think he was in France actually He did it in the middle of the night Yeah And no but he is like a real dude named Ben So you know he posts okay this going down at 12 UTC I was like yeah baby We have like 80 gigabytes of data already for that thing.

2:11:31 I don't know that he's right or wrong. The other thing is, I got a note from someone saying hey, I didn't even get the last four newsletters and then I found out that my spam filter blocked them. A lot of people get an occasional newsletter and then they say two newsletter...I could go back two newsletters ago and find out if he was talking about that newsletter because it wasn't specific. Alright! Be specific people. Sir Kevin McLaughlin here are our $96.90 donors We didn't get anybody to take us up on the $969 for the 96.

So then we got John Bolcheviks, Bolcheviks? No I got his name right. You have to stall for one second as I grab my sheet. Ah well sadly I don't haven't tuned up but uh... Now you're never gonna guess this guy's pronunciation i did a little research on the different pronunciation guides okay The most acceptable one is actually with that name

2:14:41 Buzzwhiz. Okay, no I didn't know that! Buzzwhiz and there's a kind of a Russian pronunciation which shows up which is buzzveech buzzveich buzzveich Vladimir says hello to John Buzzveich now the other guy this is uh from North Liberty Iowa this is uh they got the G-A Khorchani is what I would say? Khorchani Corshini. Of course. Corshini! He sent a note in saying, hey... Oh by the way GoCubs for BuzzWizz. He said he sent a note in which just says I'm only donating because you can't pronounce my name you moron and says I get a kick out of it so I went did a lot of work Wait a minute wait no value in the show? Just thinks it's funny that we can't pronounce his name No he likes to show but he thinks it's funny that I can't pronounce his name

2:15:41 So I can pronounce it now, but I like buzzwhiz. It is a form of healing for people when they have names that are unpronounceable you go through life with this thing hanging off of ya. Like yeah this is how you pronounce it no its not bad pain in the ass and by exposing it widely through the NOAHgender show, I think people heal. You know? It's like... They heal! Yes it's healing. Hey you got it! It's healing. I'm telling ya its healing But I've go to know whether it was Buzz with the other guy or Buzz Wiz or Buzz Veatch but Corshini is pretty much the way this one here from our buddy in North Liberty Iowa pronounces his name I am sure

Jesus no, what did you send it through email?!

2:22:03 No, I sent it through the SMS. Did not receive? There's a whole slew of things that I said. Well, I will tell you this that I was late with the notes the return notes. That's okay. That's all right. Lamb is class... By the way, I'll just tell you this so everyone should know lamb in general... Classic Bordeaux. Classic for Bordeaux yeah but burgundy is also good with it just pretty much any red wine works with lamb and I will say People should note if they never had Beaujolais, they don't know about Beaujolais. They never tried Beaujolais. You don't get good Beaujolais. 2015 is probably the greatest year in Beaujolais that we've seen since according to many experts since 1947 and I have to say we had a Beaujolais for dinner the other night that was just a knockout! See? That's really what I was

2:23:00 I would have been happier. I found a nice Bordeaux, I would have been happier if i had been able to serve Beaujolais with that story Yes! Because I did have a story about the cheese you know this goat's cheese is separated by layer of action It's very millennial of you Everything has to have a story yes well I got a story for ya alright This definitely falls under the category And now, back to Real News. bodily fluids. At least 13 Southern California school districts are involved in this, some are being told to turn over the instruments from the Flutes Around The World music program. We've confirmed notifications went out to parents in Fullerton, Newport Mesa School District, Chatsworth and the IE. The flutes will be tested for possible contamination. We're not naming a music teacher in question right now until federal charges are officially announced but an education source close to the investigation did confirm that teacher was arrested

2:24:11 Was he handing out skin flutes? I mean, what are you talking about here. Well this was a tame version of the report but the only one i could find with a clip it was semen that he had...I guess these are PVC pipes they got a picture of them maybe he was testing them? What?! Testing them on his member You know what I'm saying? And anyway, so there was- Sounds like a script from The Family Guy. Skin flu! Yeah, I know! Welcome back to Friday Briefings and- Oh sorry didn't mean to do that... yeah That's pretty gruesome. I have actually... Yeah, it's pretty gruesome. I think is gruesome. And what is this one? Oh and this one time at band camp, I stuck a flute in my pussy But it was a male teacher and the full report states- Sick sick sick Well to do that to kids flutes is a bit odd yes. This guy's a pervert You think

2:25:11 Yeah, I think. Well the real news story is this one that woman there let the 12 year olds home alone and didn't think anything of it. I find this fascinating. Hmm...I didn't hear this story All her sitter options fell and she left the kids in care for two twelve-year olds 30 year old Erin Mackey left 2 twelve-year olds an a 6th and 7th year old alone in these apartments while she took a vacation to Germany Luckily we were able to get there the next day So the chance of something happening dropped significantly. Police received a tip from one of the child's father That's when they checked in on the children and called the Department of Human Services, who then placed the children with other family members. They were concerned. They didn't know they were confused and we're only talking about 12 year olds being adults here. Mackey was planning on leaving her kids alone for 10 days! We called her she answered the phone had a conversation with our officer did not see it being a problem. Officers told Mackie her children returned over to DHS and convinced her to come home early which she did six days later

2:26:14 Johnston police say they have never experienced anything like this before. We have situations where parents go next door or parents may go out for the night and while that's not advisable either depending on the age of the children, obviously leaving the country is a totally different situation What's up with that? I don't know, i think she's just nuts. Or maybe she was a latchkey kid? I have no idea and no husband... She left her husband or he left her and she just left the kids at home and took off to Germany. You can certainly leave the kids alone for the afternoon with the 12 year olds but you know going to germany is a little uh... A little much!

2:26:59 Got a note here from one of our producers regarding Amazon and their suggestions. Just another fun one that has not hit the mainstream yet, so maybe we should put this scandal out there so the mainstream can finally find it. This is by the way from the future sir dimethyltryptamine He seems to be an expert in the fabrication of dimethyltryptamine, which would be DMT. Yeah it's very good to have someone like that in the family. Yes not bad. Because you don't want the synthesized stuff, you really want the real stuff Adam and John, in regards to episode 968's continued discussion of Algo's and Amazon suggestion to buy explosive materials together I'd like to chime in and say that for years now it has been the case that yours and my favorite psychedelic namely dimethyltryptamine can be easily extracted from amongst many methods

2:27:52 is it acacia plant? A-C-A-C-I. Acacia. The acacia root bark, that's the real stuff by the way has been to my knowledge an open secret and joke amongst the quote unquote underground internet forums devoted to DMT exploration that Amazon sells this root bark and has since at least 2014 the algos have been suggesting the other components necessary to extract and produce a schedule one controlled substance on the acacia listing Here being the turkey baster and the VM&P naphtha solvent. They're not immediately obviously related, which I think is what has always kept it off their radars but when you know what's going on it's really funny." And he sent me two screenshots. Hey if you're ever in Pennsylvania you and John and I should explore hyperspace! You know what? I would do anything to do DMT with you. We've probably got good stuff. Yeah, the root ball.

2:28:51 I have a, oh just as an aside. I'm watching this special on the Godfather saga on Epix or one of those channels and I noticed this and I've always noticed this it has always bugged me The Godfather 2 won just about everything It won best director, it won best movie, it won a bunch of things And I don't see how it could have won anything because of Diane Keaton Diane Keaton and her crappy acting. She can't act! So how do you have it best direction when you can't get this woman to act? And I have just one lone clip, just to prove it to you. You've got to listen to this dialogue and tell me that this woman can act at all. It wasn't a miscarriage

2:29:41 It was an abortion. Just like our marriage is an abortion! Something that's unholy and evil! You know, I think you have to see the visuals with it because yeah the dialogue is bad. The dialogue is bad. It's worse when you watch her That's pretty bad... It's really bad. Actually, I was looking for that clip you had of um The guys using private building the phone booth Scott Pruitt Pruitt Pruitt Pruitt with this yeah, do you that was your clip wasn't it? Yeah Do you remember what the clip might have been called

2:30:24 I could look at the clip list but i don't have any phone booth. Ah yes here we go, oh i just want to replay this because i promise i'd do some research on it. To another major headline involving your money tonight your tax dollars being spent by cabinet members flying on jets one of those cabinet members installing a 25 000 phone booth in his office President Trump was asked about it today, asked about Health Secretary Tom Price and his expensive charter flights which are now under investigation. ABC senior White House correspondent Cecilia Vega reporting It's Your Money. President Trump today making it clear he is angry with his health secretary's pension for private planes on the public dime I will tell you personally that I'm not happy about it. I am not happy about it

2:31:12 Secretary Tom Price under fire for his luxury jet travel, costing taxpayers more than $400,000. An investigation now underway and Price says those high-priced trips are on hold. But we've heard the criticism we've heard the concerns and we take that very seriously and have taken it to heart but today the president made it clear price's future is in question Three cabinet secretaries now under investigation for expensive travel. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin accused of taking costly government jets over commercial flights, including that trip to Kentucky with his wife where they viewed the eclipse and new revelations about the EPA administrator

2:31:56 Scott Pruitt's frequent trips home to Oklahoma paid for by taxpayers already under the microscope and now he is under fire for installing a $25,000 secure private phone booth in his office. Something previous administrators didn't have. A spokeswoman says Pruitt, a vocal critic of the agency before he took the top job needs this secure phone booth so his calls are not subject to hacking from the outside So the meme has been the $25,000 phone booth which sounds a lot like the $4,000 toilet seat and is intended that way in I think a disgusting manner because

2:32:36 I told you, I told you this was a skiff. The New York Times did some reporting my goodness They called the company that made this phone booth called Acoustical Solutions It was $24,570 just to be exact and that was per the contract a quote privacy booth for the administrator. And this company makes them, they have standard ones and they sell bespoke all kinds of mainly for musicians you know see uh... singing booth or a sound... It's a dome of silence A cone of silence Oh cone damn! And so typically such uh... soundproof booths are used to conduct hearing tests but when EPA sought a customized version blah blah blah here's the guy from audio

2:33:22 Acoustical solutions. They had a lot of modifications, Steve Snyder and as an acoustic sales consultant with the company work with the agency on this project early in the summer their main goal was they wanted essentially secure phone booth that could be breached from a data...that couldn't be breached from a data point-of-view for someone standing outside eavesdropping what you're referring to this is the sales guy is a secured communication area in the administrator's office so secure calls can be received and made It's called a sensitive compartmented information facility, a SCIF. That's exactly- they built a SCIF for $25,000. Average price for a SCIF is about $100,000! Is that right? Yes! They can be three thousand dollars per square foot in some cases Now that depends on how many people you have in there and I don't know the actual dimensions of what the EPA secretary, but Pruitt got But it's actually cheap

2:34:24 Well there's the irony of the story. But no, if we but you see if we call it a phone booth like this $4000 toilet seat then those dicks yeah works every time that's what they do I got a couple little minor things uh I think that professionalism at ABC needs to be questioned see if you can spot the flaw in this ABC ABC Norfolk ship.

2:35:10 It's Norfolk not nor folk folk. Hey folks nor folk Now I found a I found a clip is a clip that you're gonna identify even your spot to blooper This is a freelancer that was working for her I think our local KTVU then I want you to see if you can find the blooper this actual broadcast Okay, I'm listening intently. The bill still being tweaked in efforts to woo wavering GOP senators It's very difficult for me to envision a scenario where i would end up voting for this bill Under current budget negotiation rules Republicans only have until the end of this month to pass... 3 2 1

2:35:55 Budget negotiation rules Republicans only have until the end of this month to pass this bill by a party line simple majority of 51 votes. Three, two one. Whoever left that in is a douche what an idiot? All right wait I can top that i got a bigger idiot on the line This also comes from another podcast This is that douchebag professor with the really long neck who got fired for tweeting, you know another day at John Jay College where I'm teaching future dead cops. You remember that guy? No, I don't Oh come on! Yeah you do Okay well I remember him Okay he has a very long neck He's hilarious Look him up look them up on the on the bings Mike Isaacson ISAA

2:36:52 C-S-O-N Mike Isaacson, John Jay professor. So here he is defending and explaining his tweet that got him... I think it was not just suspended, I think it was fired Then he did the rounds here and there, but he really is one of these heads okay to punch Nazis in the face and you know... The future dead cops. I guess he hates cops? What do you think his solution is this professor from John J... Ex-professor from John Jay College without tenure obviously what do you think his solution is to not educating future dead cops? Hold on a second they call him Professor Pez!

2:37:33 Yeah, yeah. He looks like a Pez dispenser exactly. Oh you know this guy's an alien I've seen him. Yeah, he's got a long neck that's in a lot of hair. Professor Pez? That's very funny! All right listen to him explain his tweet Well this is a coordinated attack on me by the far-right There's a group called Far Left Watch that has been coordinating these sorts of attacks against both professors and students for years And i am planning to fight against this alongside many professors and students who have fought the same sort of harassment and death threats Well, let me ask you then. What did you mean by the tweet?

2:38:29 is able to resolve conflicts peacefully and is able to call on their communities to help resolve conflicts when they can't be ended. Professor, let me just ask you so you want a post-police world? Is that what you're advocating? That's absolutely what I'm advocating. Professor just let me go back to the dead cop thing because that wasn't just some comment throwaway philosophical discussion of a post police world this sounds like it was an intentional thing and directed at police. Are you calling for the murder of police officers? Absolutely not, what I'm calling for is to explore alternative methods to resolve conflict that don't involve guns and arrests. I think it's absolutely ridiculous that we live in the 21st century where we all have smartphones and were able to communicate with each other on a, uh, at an instant. And somehow where we're expected to only be able to call 911 to get help

2:39:24 from our community. I believe that we can rely on each other there are plenty of neighborhoods that are often deprived of police protection because they're low income or people of color and as a result, they have to resort to their own forms of rapid response because they can't rely on the police for protection. Are you saying that when they call 911 nobody responds? Yes, I love the well that you know these poor these poor people of color in neighborhoods. They want to resolve a conflict that conflict they have rapid response teams yeah it's called gang warfare is what that is rapid response as a great gang hey man with I'm with the blood and with the rapid response

2:40:03 The guy's insane. That's how he was explaining this? No, I really want a post-police world thing. How did this guy become a professor anywhere? That is the big question. That is the frightening part of it and speaking of professors from one of our... He's serious! He's dead serious. He's not joking. He's completely serious. One of our producers anonymously I'm emailing you from an anonymous account, and I'm sure you'll understand why. I work for a major textbook publisher... ...and spend most of my time on text for various engineering and technical disciplines at the college level! You guys are spot-on with your analysis of the collegiate textbook industry,... ...and it's been a boom time with gratuitous student loans that have increased college attendance rates,... ..but here is the real scam, and I have to caveat that can only really speak for engineering slash technical texts.

2:40:53 Almost every technical text has homework problems at the end of each chapter that are assigned by the instructor throughout the semester. While very, and I mean very little of the actual content is changed you might see 10 pages of substantial real substantial change in a 300 page text Every homework problem is changed to prevent students from using older additions. Frequently, they don't even bother to change the wording or structure of a problem—just the numbers. For example if Sally had 3 apples and I ate 1 how many does she have left? Maybe change it to If Sally had 4 apples and I ate three how many does she have left

2:41:29 The goal, and it's openly discussed in our offices is to do enough to make it impossible for the student to use any previous version to drive up sales. That my friends is what we call a whistleblower! Well that sounds like racketeering too... It sounds completely illegal. I wish somebody would do something about this This not as though the kids of course he mentions in this note That loans? This largely due to the fact that they you know they see yeah student loans Student loans, so the kids have got a blank check and they're just gouging. The kids are so stupid and no offense to all the millennials out there who didn't like the newsletter a couple of ago

2:42:12 who probably have student loan debt. But they're naive and they've never really lectured about this sort of thing, and then they go on the end up with all these student loans that they can't figure out what happens in 20 years. And it's institutionalized where is Elizabeth Warren on this? It's totally institutionalize. The publishers are in on at the universities are in on it The government's in on it because they're the ones that are doing those supporting the loans now, the whole system. It's corrupt. It stinks to high heaven." Meanwhile... And here is what bothers me the most you could do one of those I forgot what they call them where just forgive all the loans

2:42:50 That just screws over the taxpayers, because it's our money. If it was done by some old banks or something like that yeah thats too bad for the banks for doing this scam but its us the tax payers that are apparently doing this scam so we get screwed whatever the case is people are going to get screwed over this Meanwhile we have adjunct teachers Which an adjunct teacher is not full-time. It's just someone who's what I do they work with a professor? I'm not very familiar school it's like this like producer well the Guardian had a guardian had a great article which are put in the show notes about the increasing number of Adjunct academics Who are sleeping in their cars because they get paid so little money turning to sex work

2:42:12 who probably have student loan debt. But they're naive and they've never really lectured about this sort of thing, and then they go on the end up with all these student loans that they can't figure out what happens in 20 years.

2:43:41 It's really, this is messed up. Sounds like a good story! It's it's a very good article I mean it's sad but it's a very good article yeah they're making $22 000 a year well that's not in Denver you know in Denver where are you gonna live? In your car and that's what that's what it is it's sad buy an Airstream that's the way I see it I happen to have one uh This is a this is like a holdover from Thursday's show something odd popping up in New York But at night it lights up really nice Jose Lugo says these tall metal towers quickly popped up after Brooklyn battery tunnel toll booths came down. We don't really know what the

2:44:24 purpose of this. It's a $100 million MTA project full of secrecy with 18 of these for the tunnels and bridges, so what are they exactly? Are you saying you can't comment to me that's the MTA is man in charge of Bridges and Tunnels Cedric Fulton dodging our questions not even later later Can we talk about it or can I make up Some MTA board members, including New York City Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg say they know too little about the towers even with about half the money spent and some of the towers up. A lot of the board members felt like they didn't have all the details they would have wanted myself included Residents who say they suspect there is much more going on with these towers than meets the eye wonder will they ever know what's going on inside them? I'm gonna guess it's probably not just a decoration

2:45:11 It's a bit mind-boggling that the MTA is approving $100 million for what appears to us to be big decorative pylons. John Kaney is leader of the watchdog group Reinvent Albany What we're asking for is transparency from the MTA We demanded answers from MTA chairman Joe Loda Some of your own board members say they don't know the specifics The base of these new new pieces that are going up include whatever fiber optics are necessary for those homeland security items. In other words, anti-terror technology could one day include facial recognition? We don't know! He won't say... I'm not at liberty to discuss that So watch as more of these expensive towers rise with mystery tucked away inside them

2:46:01 Ooh, yeah baby! Fiber optics. Towering structures. Sounds like just a big boondoggle. It's a ham radio repeater I think they're putting in there That'd be cool Oh did you hear? Did you hear? No. The American Red Cross asked the ARRL, the American Radio Relay League otherwise known as the Association for the Hams of which you and I are both members card carrying and licensed Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie Ditto Delta India Tango Tango Oscar Asked the ARL we need 50 hams to help us with the Puerto Rico relief effort. Aha! Yeah, you know... Now here We have ham radio guys ham radio is the public service network of last resort When the apocalypse comes where are the guys who are gonna save the world right? Right Truth hashtag fact Good

2:47:05 Well that's one way of taking care of some of this. It is a mess down there and then, of course the news media on the mainland...and it is not a state we have to remember that ...is making a big fuss and blaming Trump for everything in fact they have a report that kind of interesting because- What's up with this mayor? The Mayor is a douchebag leftist! Here is my question they have no power There's no electricity, the power grid is down. Or maybe she had a generator for the T-shirt press? She has this T-shirt! We're dying here save us. Yeah and that's what she's spending her time on yeah can you maybe they itched it out with a sharpie No I don't know just to me it looked like a freshly pressed t-shirt Well anyway everybody was all in with her bitching and moaning and here's a little interesting little

2:47:54 ABC report called PR problems mayor versus Trump. White House also dealing with the growing humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico, the acting Homeland Security chief under fire for calling the response a quote good news story while the mayor of San Juan went on live TV today and took on the Trump administration saying it is a life or death situation on the ground Even the three-star general now on the ground there says more help is needed tonight. Here's ABC chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl. More help is needed Now, here's the thing the way they did this story. They make it seem as though the general has something to do with this mayor by using the word even and I think that is ABC again and yeah i was wondering when I heard this clip in how they kind of piece this story together made a sound as though the general even the general thinks more help is of course he thinks everybody knows that more help is needed but the way they put the story together by using the word even at they attach it to this just

2:48:50 a whole mayor is just pure propagandistic. And I was, when I listened to this particular report, I realized that ABC there was a, I don't know it's Pew or one of these guys did this which part of the news do you believe and who do you not believe? And the mainstream media is all under we don't really believe these people all three of the networks ABC was at the bottom of the list. They, the public does really does not believe this so they're presenting their stories in such a way that I think is becoming transparent that they're very biased yes it's very poor and they need an editor over there somebody who knows what they're doing either that or they mean to do this but just not doing their reputation any good Not in our book No

2:49:37 I don't think anybody gives a crap. Well, we do! Yeah of course we do it's our job. I think the public does give a crap they just don't know this stuff needs to be pointed out yeah i'm down with that for approximately well maybe the entire length of our 10 years of existence almost we've talked about now it must be less than that The Armageddon is coming you know The Armageddon is nigh and we have all these signals Then one of them is that we'll be so poor that obviously we'll all be eating mac and cheese. We've been on this for a long, long time. And the elites know it too!

2:50:16 Witness this report about Prince George's first day of school. Even a future king has school day nerves, mom Kate pregnant with baby number three was home with severe morning sickness so four-year old George held on tight to dad Prince William A backpack with the prince's official school name George Cambridge his grandfather Prince Charles started the tradition at school outside of the palace 30 years ago it was Williams turn hand in hand with Diana Now George and a new tradition, a private co-ed school ballet for girls and boys. Philosophy for five year olds. The fees are around $20,000 a year and they do you know rack of lamb and not your average mac and cheese

2:51:04 Mac and cheese by Ayn Rand. That's right, you slaves can eat mac and cheese but no the prince has lamb. Very good catch elites that's not a bad deal for a school like that did in New York would be 50 grand well not unless you quit the administration your kid will be kicked out you won't allow your kid in Well, that's going to happen eventually. I got one last question. I've got a good fentanyl story going through New York City apparently. This is what we've been saying people should know that most of the fentanyl comes in through mail order

2:51:48 U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officials seized a record amount of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids in the fiscal year that ends tonight Most of the illegal packages were found... Gee, I'm glad we made our quota just in time Record amount of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids in the fiscal year that ends tonight Most of the illegal packages... Hold on a second What does that have to do with anything? Why did she say the fiscal year that just ended? Why?! What does that have to do with the story? I think you nailed it. Ending to a wink-wink, nudge-nudge we gotta get our numbers up. Okay well and where does this come from this report? CBS. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officials seized a record amount of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids in the fiscal year that ends tonight most of the illegal packages were found in the mailroom at New York's JFK Airport here's Tony DeCoppo

2:52:39 This is the busiest international mailroom in America, processing more than a million inbound packages every day. And at a time when your mailman may be an unwitting drug dealer it's also the front lines of the opioid crisis. Spike here is one of the newest tools in the hunt for illegal opioids. Riding this conveyor belt as an officer fills it with suspicious packages – in this case all from China. So how important are the dogs to the overall mission? Incredibly important because the work that a canine can do in an hour is what it would take for an officer eight hours to complete. We don't really know who's sending it. Port Director Frank Russo runs field operations at John F Kennedy Airport where seizures of fentanyl nearly tripled to more than 80 packages in the past fiscal year

2:53:36 Are we talking tens of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions at the street level? What were seizing here is hundreds and millions of dollars. Anything flagged by the dogs or pulled by agents is searched by hand on this table as we witnessed after the x-ray machine revealed an unknown object. Fentanyl is so toxic that officers wear gloves and masks to avoid accidental contact This time it wasn't fentanyl, but GBL commonly used as a date rape drug. Just a little bit of this mixed in a drink can disable an individual. This is our detention room just one room away however. Fentanyl, fentanyl

2:54:15 Fentanyl again. Correct Look at the bottom here, China Hong Kong, Hong Kong Is that typical? That is absolutely typical Most of our seizures and actually all of our seizures have come from China and Hong Kong this year And you've also got where it's going to Pennsylvania North Carolina Connecticut Are there particular areas in the country where a lot of this is headed It's...that's the interesting part Tony is that it's everywhere It's going absolutely everywhere I'm surprised They went on with the story to say that they don't grab all the packages. They track a number of them to the guy who gets it and then they bust him It's not good stuff people Definitely not And their muscling in on our poppy business so we gotta stop this, which is no good

2:55:09 And maybe we'll know more about it on Thursday. We'll certainly know more about Spexit and everything else happening around the globe as we continue to do our best to guard your reality. Coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas in the Cluedio 5x9 here in the Kamalaw condo or in FEMA Region 6 in case you're wondering where it is on the map In The Morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry.

2:56:51 If you vote to leave, if you vote to leave the single market. What bit don't you understand about that? Let's just listen to what they've said. The British public would be voting if we leave, it would be to leave the EU and leave the single market We'd be out of the single market That's the reality Britain would be quitting Quitting the single market

2:57:40 Just picture the CWO out of the single market, out of the European Union. If we leave the European Union if we take ourselves out on a single market What bit don't you understand about that? Let's just listen to what they've said The British public would be voting if we leave it would be to leave the EU and leave the Single Market We'd be out of the single market. That's the reality, Britain would be quitting. Quitting the single market. People when they tell you tonight that the single market is good for Britain... ...that we need to be part of this club to access the single market Every country in the world accesses the single market If you vote to leave and you vote to leave the single market what bit don't you understand about that?

2:58:40 Boom! I wrote a call to Taylor. Whoa, I gotta check this piece of crap out. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah the Zephyr just going by now that's a lie get out of here you phony This is crazy crazy crazy it's cray-cray Me no likey Quick quick the Zephyr just went by him humorless depressing and unhealthy I don't like to complain Thank You we're done I have this group of young, you know... techno experts.
