	And that's the story.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Thursday, September 18, 2014.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 653.
	This is no agenda.
	Finally out of the gate here in FEMA Region 6 in the capital of the Drone Star State.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where the power went out, and only on my block, by the way, I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill in the morning.
	Yeah, let's mark the time here.
	It is approximately five hours later than usual.
	Yeah, well, good for the Australians.
	Make sure that they find out about this.
	It was a little difficult for me, though, John.
	I don't know about you, but this really threw me off.
	Yeah, I'll bet it did.
	So John's power went out last night, I guess.
	No, no.
	It went out at 8.30 this morning.
	Oh, okay, so you were awake when this happened.
	All right.
	Yeah, and I was doing clips.
	And you alerted me immediately and said, who knows?
	But was there a storm?
	Was there a hurricane?
	No, no.
	The transformer on a pole about...
	I'm in an area that has poles because I'm on the side of a hill that's a solid rock and I really can't go underground.
	Thank God we'd never get back on the air.
	And a pole or a transformer on a pole about five poles down around the corner blew up.
	And is this because of the dust?
	I was reading an article that if it's really dry, then the dust collects, and then if it rains just a little bit, then it becomes like one conductive thing.
	That's what I think happened, to be honest about it.
	So I'm like a racehorse.
	I get up, I have my special diet, I take the right vitamins and everything.
	You'll be coming in last today.
	I have my rituals, my...
	Yeah.
	All the things I need to do, my superstitions.
	Yeah, superstitions.
	You're just like a baseball player.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So I am like a highly tuned athlete.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And then there's no show, and it's like, I didn't know where to channel the energy.
	Yeah.
	So I wound up doing songs for like four hours.
	You didn't sing, did you?
	Very little.
	And now I'm all confused.
	Yeah, now I'm all confused.
	Yeah, well, you don't need to be that confused.
	It's all right.
	I started drinking.
	I figured that would help.
	Yeah.
	Exactly.
	I got a big trophy in the mail.
	Did you go get your trophy?
	No, I saw the picture.
	Is the knife stuck on the top of it?
	The knife was kind of shipped separately, and then you stick the knife in it later because it would be impossible to ship otherwise.
	But yeah, the knife stuck into the microphone.
	So we both received an official podcast award.
	The best podcast of the year.
	What year is it?
	2015?
	2013.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	And what organization bestowed this upon us?
	This is Sir Patrick Coble.
	I love it.
	The award is beautiful.
	It's like an old school microphone on top of a little trophy.
	I'll read the note from him.
	You don't have the same note, I'm sure.
	I hope this treasure trophy comes in a beautiful box.
	Handmade treasure box.
	Makes it to you safe.
	I originally started the process of making the award around Halloween of last year, but life and a couple of delayed eBay orders for some of the components got in the way.
	I hope the award creates a sense to media.
	I don't know what the sentence says.
	The Shure 55 microphone symbolizes the golden age of radio, news, and music when the mass media could deliver propaganda instantly.
	The Cobb Bar is a well-known American killing device to symbolize the American military industrial complex and the United States Marine Corps.
	Anyway, it's got a USMC stamp on it, which means it's a knife.
	It kind of fades out here, a knife of something or other.
	I couldn't mail it with the thing stuck in there, so I put it on the side and you have to stick the knife.
	Anyway, it goes on and on.
	It's impressive looking.
	This is the kind of thing...
	By the way, it's very large.
	I love it.
	So this will be a conversation piece.
	People say, hey, cool.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it was one podcast of the year.
	Yeah, really, it did.
	Yeah, yeah, it did.
	No one's ever going to ask you where it came from.
	No, it's better than the real trophy.
	I mean, the other trophy.
	No, actually, the other trophy doesn't hold a candle.
	No, that's what I'm saying.
	No, this is beautiful.
	Okay, good.
	It's just like we won a NASCAR race.
	That's how big it is.
	Now, he said something in his note there that triggered, actually triggered something that someone else reminded me of.
	We've been looking at these, at the just massive propaganda, complete, and even, John, you're a level-headed guy.
	When you look at these ISIL, the so-called beheading videos, It's bullcrap.
	And we've been in television.
	We know that it's just not this.
	Sure, they've lopped people's heads off, but not this.
	This is not it.
	This is incredibly fake.
	But it is being used blatantly to leverage the public.
	And I was reminded that the Smith-Munt Modernization Act of 2012, which we discussed on this program, I know you're drawing a blank because I had the same thing.
	Like, oh man.
	This was part of the National Defense Authorization Act, which repealed the domestic prohibition allowing the government's broadcasting of propaganda.
	Yes.
	So this is why they're so...
	We can run COINTEL on our own public.
	Yes.
	Right.
	I remember that.
	Yeah, and so this is why it's so...
	We don't have to do a lot of work because it just works.
	I heard your conversation with Horowitz.
	That was a perfect example.
	It was really interesting to hear him go, what?
	What, the videos?
	Really?
	They're bogus?
	They're fake?
	Because he, of course, hadn't seen them.
	Like a good Samaritan, he doesn't want to look at blood and gore, you know.
	He only looks at porn, I guess.
	You know he does.
	Well, who doesn't?
	Hey, which is another thing I want to ask you about.
	I've been alone now for eight days, nine days.
	Is that the secret?
	I need a harmonica?
	No, I'm playing the sad song for you.
	Do you ever get, like, lonely?
	No.
	Because you're by yourself.
	I have to clean my office, for one thing.
	That would keep me away from loneliness for the next six months.
	Be honest with me for a minute.
	Is there never a moment that you think, oh, I'm lonely?
	I'm lonely.
	Maybe if I'm traveling sometimes, I'll be somewhere and I say, oh, this would be nice that I could share this moment.
	Maybe I'm watching a cop car blow up or something.
	Or seeing a bonfire for God knows me.
	You can always call me if you feel lonely and you see a cop car flying on fire.
	Give me your call.
	I'll be your friend.
	Oh, gee, that would be too bad.
	I wasn't sharing this with somebody because all I can do is now discuss it.
	Okay, so clearly you don't understand what I'm talking about.
	Oh my God, I'm so lonely.
	I'm watching television alone.
	No, I don't have time for that.
	By the way, just drink more and it makes everything go by.
	Well, this is what I figured out.
	This is a very, very good tip.
	But yesterday, yesterday morning, I'm sitting in, we have a great room now, which is kitchen, living room, dining room.
	The dining room table is so huge, you can work at it.
	So I'm sitting in there, you know, getting clips and preparing.
	I overdid clips, actually.
	And I get kind of this lonely moment.
	You know, it's new for me.
	I'm never really alone.
	And then I start to, am I hyperventilating?
	What is going on here?
	And I get really warm and I'm like, oh, and I'm starting to freak out because, you know, who am I going to call?
	Menopause.
	And then I'm like, what is going on?
	And I'm feeling like I can't breathe.
	You just turned 50.
	Now you're freaking out.
	The air conditioner had broken.
	The capacitor had blown.
	Did it make a loud pop?
	No, but it was making...
	The fan was blowing, but the compressor outside was not turning.
	So it was slowly like 87, 88 degrees, and I'm so engrossed in doing clips.
	And then the simultaneous of the uncomfortableness of the air and a little bit of paranoia, I was freaking out.
	And then I remembered your handy tip.
	Just drink more.
	Everything's good.
	Yes.
	So we almost waited long enough to get the show on the road so we could actually announce the result of the Scottish vote.
	Yeah, I was hoping that there was more coming in by now and there's nothing.
	I don't think the entire results, I think it's 3.30am where they have the first results, but the full tally won't be until 7am UK time.
	Right, which is, I don't know, that's like tomorrow or something.
	No, no, no, it's later.
	No, it's like 11...
	Well, I hope they vote for independence, because I'm kind of thinking they won't.
	I'm still thinking they will.
	They have nothing to lose.
	They're going to vote yes and get it thrown back in their face.
	Because obviously the elites of the world cannot allow this to actually take place.
	You just think next will be Wales.
	No, but Wales, but then how about Catalonia from Spain?
	Everyone will start doing this.
	Texas?
	Texas is always in play.
	Yeah.
	I'd be all for it.
	There's a lot of people that are.
	You want to visit me?
	Bring your passport.
	I have a passport.
	I don't worry about it.
	I know.
	You're welcome.
	You're welcome here.
	You're a welcome guest.
	Not that you'll ever come visit, but you're a welcome guest.
	Anyway, so that...
	How did we get to that?
	Yeah, Scotland.
	Scotland, Scotland.
	But here's a scenario I would have, if I were to put together a great scenario, maybe I was writing this down when I got the hyperventilation.
	So the 7 a.m.
	Friday is when they get the results of the vote.
	Let's say the result is resounding yes.
	Then, by this time, the U.S. markets are freaking out.
	The stock markets are going to be going crazy.
	I think they'd shut down the exchanges, freeze it all, shut everything down early for the weekend, and then Saturday night, the ATM network goes down.
	What, in Scotland?
	No, this is worldwide.
	Oh.
	If Scotland really separates, there's a lot of stock market activity that's going to take place, and I think there'll be so much volume, it'll be so crazy, they'll have to freeze the exchanges.
	There'll be panic.
	I don't think so.
	I'm just giving you an example of a cool thing that could happen.
	Oh, that would be cool.
	It being Friday with the weekend.
	Yeah, that'd be great.
	Then unplug the ATM network on Saturday night.
	Yeah, freak everyone out.
	Yeah, this is what I would do, just to watch it happen.
	I don't think that...
	I think the original thesis that we had, which is going to be a thin margin, yes, and then they're going to call for a recount and a revoke and all the rest of it.
	And it'll end up...
	Well, that's it, yeah.
	That makes the most sense.
	I mean, I would like to see an overwhelming majority say, yes, we're sick of working with these people.
	They don't like us.
	And we're not out of here.
	We're taking the oil with us.
	And our kilt.
	Well, the kilts.
	And we hereby make kilts illegal everywhere else.
	Now, isn't there an Irish independence vote as well?
	I'm a little confused.
	Ireland did their vote and went independent in 1922.
	I know, but I still keep seeing people talking about some...
	Maybe they're talking about Northern Ireland.
	I have no idea.
	Because Northern Ireland is in play right now.
	The United Kingdom is Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Britain.
	But if Scotland goes, Northern Ireland might go too.
	It's possible.
	They can vote themselves out.
	This is an interesting day, a celebration of sorts in China, September 18th.
	Thursday marks the 83rd anniversary of the September 18th incident, or the Mukden incident, which was the beginning of Japan's invasion of northeast China in 1931.
	Sirens sounded across China, and various activities were held to observe the day.
	In northeast China's founding province, the occasion was marked by a bell ringing ceremony.
	Have you heard of this, the Mukden incident?
	This is the Manchurian candidate.
	No, it's not the Manchurian candidate.
	No, the Manchurian war.
	This is the attack of Manchuria.
	Yes.
	By the Japanese to take over the damn place.
	Yeah.
	And they just pushed the Chinese right out of everything, butchered them, and they acted very poorly toward the Chinese, and the Koreans for that matter.
	Yep.
	And by the time of World War II, I mean, after 10 years of this, The Chinese were really, you know, they were massacred, butchered.
	It was horrible.
	And they just cut people up.
	And the Japanese never apologized for it.
	They refused.
	And this is still a point of contention amongst the nations.
	Yes, it's a big point of contention.
	The Japanese have a lot of pride.
	I don't know why.
	There's not much to be proud of.
	There's not much to be proud of at all.
	So I do have a rundown clip that gives us the Scotland rap.
	Talks about it.
	Got a few things to say.
	Maybe bring people up to speed before the vote comes in.
	Overseas tonight and to the Queen in her castle, the one in Scotland, and with good reason tonight.
	Because just a few hours from now, voters will head to the polls deciding whether Scotland will stay in the UK or strike out on their own.
	Is this the end of the UK as we know it?
	And tonight, on the eve of this historic vote, a message from the Queen, even of former James Bond Sean Connery weighing in.
	ABC's chief foreign correspondent Terry Moran in Scotland tonight.
	The English monarch inside the walls of her Scottish estate tonight, reminding us of a scene from the Queen wandering through Balmoral Castle and wondering if her kingdom may be coming undone.
	At a packed pub in Edinburgh, we heard firsthand the passions ignited by the Scottish independence referendum.
	Freedom!
	A bunch of drunk...
	Freedom!
	If that's what's on the ballot...
	Play my pipes!
	Ancient dream of the Scots to have their own country, free from the control of the British government in London, immortalized in the movie Braveheart.
	Then they may take our lives!
	But they'll never take our freedom!
	We'll show the outcome here.
	You know, if you and I were drunk...
	If they played that, you and I would be like, let's go vote.
	I love you, man.
	Come on, we can do this.
	So I think it works.
	It's too close to call.
	Famous faces weighing in.
	Sean Connery saying independence is too good to miss.
	The Queen pleading, I hope people will...
	James Bond said, yeah, vote yes?
	Yeah.
	Cool.
	Think very carefully.
	Settled.
	We're done.
	Let's go vote.
	Here's James Bond's hand.
	...about the future.
	If Scotland leaves, markets will be roiled.
	The alliance with the U.S. damaged, even the Union Jack flag may have to change, with the blue field representing Scotland removed.
	This may be the last night of the United Kingdom.
	I love that part of the story.
	Everyone's talking about the flag.
	Who gives a crap about that?
	It's important, but not that.
	There was a little thing that they said in there, which I thought they ran past it pretty quickly.
	Which was that the relationship between the U.S. will be spoiled.
	Oh, shoot.
	Did I step on that?
	I want to listen to that.
	No, you didn't step on it.
	You just didn't hear it.
	But you back it off a little bit from where you ended.
	And you'll hear it.
	And I'm thinking...
	And they show a picture of Obama shaking hands with a camera.
	And I'm thinking, what?
	What?
	Saying independence is too good to miss.
	The Queen pleading, I hope people will think very carefully about the future.
	If Scotland leaves, markets will be roiled.
	The alliance with the U.S. damaged.
	Even the Union Jack flag may have to change.
	Huh.
	The alliance with the U.S. damaged?
	Yeah.
	Hmm.
	How?
	I don't know.
	Maybe we're screwing them out of their oil.
	We're fighting the scam.
	Yeah, okay.
	Then we could be part of it.
	Hmm.
	I just found the whole thing weird.
	Ah!
	No, no.
	You can't do that.
	What do you mean?
	You're just making me say it more.
	Well, it's not a reward.
	It is!
	He buzzed me.
	I feel much better.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Very good.
	I got one.
	I got the word written down.
	I got one next to it.
	Okay.
	I'm going to keep tabs.
	I'll try to keep lowering it.
	I'm sorry.
	Go ahead.
	Well, before you go, I do want to get one thing that's really breaking and important.
	Let's start with a teaser for this.
	It says teaser.
	No, it's clearly breaking news.
	Welcome to World News Tonight.
	Happening now, the urgent manhunt.
	The cop killer on the loose, armed and dangerous.
	Schools closed.
	And the new pictures just coming in.
	The man in military uniform now terrorizing communities.
	We're on the scene.
	Also breaking tonight's...
	Where was this?
	Oh, you're not keeping up.
	No.
	There's two things that are going on that are breaking, breaking, breaking on the big networks.
	My goodness.
	And they're both, by the way, I believe, a revisitation of the six-week cycle.
	You know, it's interesting you say that because I have also detected, I watched all this testimony yesterday, I have detected a reintroduction of the six-week cycle by the FBI as it results to ISIS slash ISIL slash IS. I have that story too.
	Well, where do we start?
	Well, let's get the madman out of the way.
	Mad gunman.
	Now, I want you to listen to this, or our producers listen to this with a couple of thoughts in mind.
	One.
	The guy shot a cop.
	Okay.
	That's all he did, and then we don't know anything.
	That's all he did?
	Well, that seems...
	Well, it's a lot.
	Yeah, I'm not saying it's not a lot, but that doesn't mean you close the schools.
	Well, let's find out.
	ABC News World Headquarters.
	This is real news.
	Do I really need to hear this?
	This is the new...
	Yeah, you do it.
	This is a good one.
	This is part of the six-week scare cycle.
	And this guy, this is the new anchor.
	This guy, Muir.
	Oh, the new guy.
	Yes, Diane's follow-up.
	Yes.
	Is he drunk?
	No, sober as a judge.
	He's so straight, he's boring.
	This is ABC World News Tonight with David Muir.
	Good evening, it's great to have you with us here in a Wednesday.
	Can we just get that for us?
	This is Adam and John.
	I would love to have that.
	Tonight, and we begin here with the massive manhunt underway at this hour.
	Schools closed, thousands of children kept home in Pennsylvania.
	Woo!
	All of this after a deadly shooting, a man targeting state troopers on the loose.
	And look at the pictures they put out tonight.
	This is the suspect in full military gear.
	He often took part in war reenactments.
	It's Rambo.
	Rambo is on the loose.
	Tonight, authorities say he's terrorizing neighborhoods.
	Fantasy becomes a reality.
	What does fantasy becomes a reality mean?
	Okay, they've dreamed it, but they've got this new technique.
	They just made that up.
	Yeah!
	They're dreaming scenarios up, and everybody goes along with the scenario.
	And then the real kicker is at the end where the cop, the head of the police department...
	And when you listen to it, normally in a situation like this where some guy's on the run from shooting a policeman or doing any sort of crime that everyone's after him, they say, okay, Bill, can you turn yourself in?
	We're going to turn yourself in.
	Please turn yourself in.
	You know that you've heard this plea.
	Well, that's how it used to go in the old days, yeah.
	No, not anymore.
	I think that ended after Die Hard 2.
	Then there was no more.
	Die Hard 2 has changed everything.
	They say he is a skilled shooter.
	And this evening, their message, we are coming for you.
	ABC's Lindsay Davis is right there tonight.
	The small Pennsylvania community on edge tonight.
	Nearly 10,000 kids kept home from school today.
	Classes canceled.
	Families shuttered inside.
	Police revealing chilling new details about the 31-year-old man they say killed a state trooper and is on a mission to kill again.
	Freen has engaged in a personal battle.
	We've done a mission.
	Be quiet.
	It's on a mission to kill again.
	Shh, shh.
	Watch the news.
	Police say Eric Freen belonged to a Pennsylvania military simulation group that reenacted battles among Eastern European armies.
	I'm in a pornographic simulation reenactment group.
	They released pictures showing him in military uniform, toting a large rifle.
	Their warning?
	Freen may now actually believe he's a soldier in combat.
	What?
	He believes it.
	He's gone nuts.
	He slipped to the other side.
	Who says?
	Because he's in a simulation reenactment group.
	What was that term she used?
	Something I don't remember, but it's like those guys who do the Civil War things.
	I know, but that was a great name for it.
	Yeah, you might want to back it up if you want to find out what it was.
	It's dumb.
	I love that.
	I think, I'm sorry, I have to hear it again.
	Police shuddered inside.
	Police revealing chilling new details about the 31-year-old man.
	The police is revealing these details, John.
	The police, the police are saying.
	They say killed a state trooper and is on a mission to kill again.
	Freen has engaged in a personal battle with law enforcement.
	Police say Eric Freen belonged to a Pennsylvania military simulation group.
	Military simulation group.
	Yeah.
	It's like a military simulation.
	This is like the Civil War.
	It reenacts the guys.
	And so because he's in that group, they have pictures of him with a giant old gun or something.
	Of course, running around in his fatigues.
	Oh, God.
	So now that's what apparently...
	Now they're making it seem as though that's what he's wearing right now as he's stalking the neighborhoods.
	They reenacted battles among Eastern European armies.
	They released pictures showing him in military uniform toting a large rifle.
	Their warning, Freen may now actually believe he's a soldier in combat.
	Where does this come from?
	This is great.
	I waited five hours and I got rewarded.
	In his current frame of mind, Freen now appears to have assumed that role in real life.
	Police say Freen recently altered his appearance, shaving the sides of his head.
	Investigators believe that this change was made as part of the mental preparation to commit this cowardly act.
	Freehan's father says his son is a skilled shooter who, quote, doesn't miss.
	This would typically be the time of day that you'd hear the hustle and bustle of kids coming home from school, but instead, you only hear the sounds of the country.
	In fact, you barely even see much activity outside of these houses at all.
	So the whole day, you're telling me...
	this town has been shut down everyone's cowering inside children are staying at home because of some guy that they think has slipped into an alternative reality yes Sue Hoke is hunkered down with her son Joey, admitting...
	Remember when you'd be playing out in the street and the cops would come by and they'd say, hey, you seen some guy walking around here?
	That's how it used to go.
	Yeah.
	Now we activate the giant voice system, everybody cower in place.
	To us, for the first time, she's afraid in her own home.
	What are you doing to protect yourself?
	Oh, I have my gun loaded, ready to go in case I have any problems.
	Police trying to calm the public tonight and delivering a personal message to the suspected killer.
	In the event you were listening to this broadcast while cowering in some cold, damp hiding place, I want you to know one thing.
	Eric, we are coming for you.
	Who was that, the police?
	Yeah!
	This is great!
	That's the comp!
	That's fantastic.
	David, more than 150 officers on the hunt tonight for this dangerous man.
	Some of them right here on patrol, just outside of the police barracks, doing what they can to stop him before more lives are lost.
	And then there's a Domino's Pizza commercial.
	I betcha.
	What?
	What did you think of the use of the word?
	Police barracks.
	Oh, interesting.
	Good catch.
	Yeah, barracks.
	Military.
	This guy.
	Instead of saying, give yourself up, turn yourself in, it's we're coming to get you.
	We're tough.
	We're the tough police.
	You know, the guy's a douchebag.
	I mean, these cops.
	Yeah.
	This brings me to a question I had for you.
	This is somewhat related to...
	I was watching...
	This is the Thom Show.
	I can't believe I caught the Thom Show.
	Thom Hartman.
	Yes.
	And he has on his show Richard Mack, I think is his name.
	And this guy is...
	He's in one of these constitutional political party groups.
	I think actually he ran for...
	Hold on a second.
	I have it here.
	I believe he ran for office a couple times.
	He has held an office.
	Here is Richard Mack, M-A-C-K, a former sheriff of Graham County, Arizona, two-time candidate for United States Congress.
	Okay.
	And he is talking with Tham about the power of the sheriff.
	And this is something that is, I guess, a constitutional question.
	And it just caught my ear and I wanted to talk to you about it because this is something I know very little about.
	And I feel kind of ashamed that I don't understand how this works or the importance of this hierarchy.
	Do you agree with this notion that the highest law enforcement officials in the country are the county sheriffs?
	Of course.
	Why?
	Because I was one.
	What about the Supremacy Clause?
	The law says that the federal government has to follow the Constitution and laws don't become supreme unless it's pursuant to the Constitution.
	We agree with that part.
	The Supremacy Clause does not grant carte blanche to the federal government, just the opposite.
	The sheriff is the only elected law enforcement officer in the county.
	The FBI isn't elected, the IRS, any of those agencies, DEA, any of the law enforcement agencies, they're not elected.
	But in most states, the state police are They're not elected either.
	But the director of the state police is appointed by the governor who is elected.
	Well, you can get all sorts of bureaucrats in there, but they're still bureaucrats.
	And they answer to the governor, they don't answer to the people.
	Now, is that true?
	What is the hierarchy of the county sheriff and...
	Well, in California, generally speaking, except in places like San Francisco, where there's a county sheriff and city police, their law enforcement duties overlap, essentially.
	Where's my horn?
	Well, I'm afraid to do anything now because you think it's a reward.
	I'm not going to buzz you for essentially.
	Okay.
	Let me put it down in the bookstore.
	Okay.
	I'll give you a buzz then.
	You know, you're the one, by the way.
	I never used to say this.
	And I'm catching it everywhere.
	Everybody is using the word essentially.
	As long as I'm catching it everywhere.
	I never used to say it until you brought it up.
	I didn't bring it up.
	Someone brought it up to me that I was using it.
	Yes.
	Anyway, let's get back to this.
	So in California, for the most part, the unincorporated parts of the state are governed by the sheriff's department.
	In some of the areas such as the county of San Francisco, which is also San Francisco City, you have an overlapping jurisdiction where the sheriff and the police, and they usually take different parts of the job.
	I was talking to a, there's also a thing called the constable, which is another one, yeah.
	And I was talking to the Las Vegas, there was a riot going on or something, and I was standing near it.
	And you thought to yourself, gee, I wish I could share this moment with someone.
	Yes, I was feeling very lonely.
	So I decided to talk to the police guy that was standing there.
	Doesn't go well with tip number one, by the way.
	Anyway, so I asked him about the jurisdiction, and it was a very complicated situation in Nevada.
	And the constable was the one that I was most interested in, because I kept seeing a constable car driving, and he says all they do is serve warrants and eviction notices.
	It's actually somewhat confusing.
	Now, the guy is right about the fact that...
	The sheriffs are typically elected, and he's also generally...
	And his thing about the Tenth Amendment was right on the money, very Tenth Amendment-y, and Thawm was just right over his head because he has no concept of this.
	As far as he's concerned, like most liberals, the supremacy clause means that federal Trump's local.
	That's all it means to all of them.
	When it's bullcrap, it doesn't.
	But okay, anyway, so it's actually slightly confusing.
	So you're not really in bad shape because you don't know this.
	Okay.
	But I haven't really learned anything.
	No, you've learned nothing.
	Does this mean that we need to be more vocal about the power of the sheriff?
	Or does the sheriff have this power but it's just not being recognized?
	No, in most places he's very recognized.
	Okay.
	Yeah, this is just something I have no experience with.
	But I see the signs all the time.
	Vote for this guy for sheriff.
	I'm like, what is this crap?
	And now I know because he's the guy that can...
	I know the sheriff.
	I met him.
	Yeah, he's probably a good guy.
	Yeah, he's a good guy.
	Because he's a politician.
	Yes, exactly.
	But he has those little cool cards that you can hold up when you get stopped.
	Oh, that's nice.
	Hello, officer, for your consideration.
	I tried that with my global entry card.
	It didn't work too well.
	Were you getting pulled over a lot?
	I have to tell you something that I noticed this.
	I was looking at the global entry card, which you don't use for global entry.
	You swipe your passport.
	You never take the card out of its trusted traveler pouch, which is an RFID Faraday pouch.
	Now, let me ask you this.
	This is a very expensive pass.
	It has a hologram on it, which has a plane, a car, and a boat.
	And the boat is kind of like a speedboat with a single outboard engine.
	Yeah, smugglers.
	Yeah, I'm telling you, the plane looks more like a King Air that you'd use to smuggle anything over from Cuba.
	And the car is like a four-door DeLorean somehow.
	It looks like a DeLorean with four doors.
	But this card is only good for America.
	You can only use this card.
	Well, you don't even use the card, but it is intended, the global entry system is for entry into America.
	But to make this all more official for your $140, they add French everywhere on the card.
	But just the absurdity of it hit me yesterday.
	That is absurd.
	We're not Canadian.
	So given name, prenum, nombre, it's in Spanish as well, surname, nombre de familia.
	Maybe there's a lot of French that do business and they want that card.
	I don't know.
	I found it just hilarious.
	I think it's just theater.
	It's playtime.
	Yeah.
	I think we've made this point.
	I'm sorry.
	I was just looking at it.
	It's total theater.
	You got a pretty little card.
	Now I want one.
	It's in French.
	Because you need so much of that here.
	Alright.
	I just, I got over, I got just blown away with fear porn yesterday.
	I don't know where to start.
	I looked at every single Q&A session.
	I watched Carrie.
	I watched all the Homeland Security douches.
	And the way that translated into the news was just very strange.
	Well, my favorite thing going on with the fear porn is that douchebag Lindsey Graham...
	And coming out, there was an article going around Twitter, actually, I think some of our producers pushed it through, and it was, he actually says, we've got to stop ISIS, or ISIL, I think he uses ISIL, before they come over here and kill us all!
	Yeah, Lindsey Graham said that.
	Yeah!
	That was so stupid, I didn't even clip that.
	Well, I was actually going to clip it, but in the Washington Post, which had a video of it, they made me want to subscribe to the damn newspaper, so I just killed the whole idea.
	Well, it's almost as if we have to compete, as if the news has to compete with our officials.
	So Comey...
	The new director of FBI, who was a banker before this, HSBC on the board, just a huge banker.
	And of course, the FBI is in charge of all kinds of monetary-related issues.
	He gets in and he just starts throwing out metaphors like it's no one else's business about terror and everything.
	I just had to pull a couple of these clips because this guy is a piece of work.
	Mr.
	Chairman, as you know, I was gone from government for almost a decade.
	Getting really rich.
	I have a perspective that may be different on the terrorist threat.
	When I came back to...
	Yeah, a rich perspective.
	Exactly.
	So you get to look at it from a rich guy's standpoint.
	As you know, I was gone from government for almost a decade.
	Sorry.
	And so I have a perspective that may be different on the terrorist threat.
	When I came back to government a year ago, I discovered the threat had changed in two ways that struck me.
	First, thanks largely to our men and women in uniform, we had taken the fight to the core al-Qaeda tumor in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region.
	So there's the first one.
	He starts off with tumor.
	And I find...
	I like the term core al-Qaeda tumor.
	That would be a...
	That would look good above the clubhouse, wouldn't it?
	Did you get the sign?
	Did you get the sign?
	Cor al-Qaeda tumor here!
	It's not a tumor, it's a club!
	And shrunk that tumor.
	And we shrunk the tumor.
	This metaphor is...
	Shrunk the tumor.
	This is very interesting that he's using this, particularly since cancer is a, you know, we haven't defeated cancer yet.
	I just want to point that out as he comes to the cancer.
	This is the tumor.
	We shrunk the tumor, but...
	In a significant way.
	But at the same time...
	Ah, you see, this is the analogy people understand.
	We'd experienced a metastasis of that cancer.
	Oh my God, it never lets up!
	Oh no, it doesn't stop.
	The metastasis of that cancer.
	Which means it goes to your lymph nodes and your lungs and your F, that this is your death warrant.
	Because there is no cure for cancer, particularly...
	Goes to your ISIL. You do not want the metastasis diagnosis from your doctor.
	The progeny of Al-Qaeda, this metastasis, had sprung up in ungoverned or lightly governed spaces in North Africa, the Gulf, the Mediterranean, in ways that are familiar to this committee.
	The manifestation in Syria and Iraq is obviously a huge example of that metastasis.
	How can he keep doing this?
	And so that metastasis coupled with the phenomenon of travelers seeking to go to those safe havens to get the experience of being a terrorist to make those connections is a way in which that change strikes me.
	I am very concerned about the going.
	I'm even more concerned about the coming.
	There will be a terrorist diaspora out of those areas.
	A terrorist diaspora.
	Actually, Syria, that we all wake up every day thinking and worrying about.
	That's right.
	Every day he wakes up.
	This guy is loaded with buzzwords.
	But wait, there's more.
	Let's talk about cyber.
	It's a gold mine.
	If you can imagine cyber...
	What metaphor would you put together for all the threats, all of the different threats that comprise the cyber terror?
	I'm assuming it's not a baseball metaphor.
	No, you'll never guess.
	I'm sure I wouldn't.
	Can you just...
	Enlighten the committee.
	This guy's drunk.
	Oh, that guy.
	Again, this is Comey about to speak, the director of the FBI. A little more on where you see some of those cyber threats coming from.
	What cyber threat is there?
	Thank you, Mr.
	Thompson.
	They come from everywhere.
	It's sort of a stack.
	I call it sort of an evil layer cake.
	An evil layer cake, John.
	This guy has a writer.
	With nation states at the top.
	The frosting is the nation states.
	Chocolate or vanilla?
	Terrorist groups.
	Just a couple of terror groups spread underneath that first layer.
	International criminal syndicates.
	Bastards.
	Hacktivists.
	Oh, hacktivists.
	That's the crunchy middle.
	And thugs and criminals and child abusers and pedophiles.
	Pedophiles at the bottom of the heap as usual.
	As I said, because our entire world is now on the internet, I'm told soon my sneakers will talk to my refrigerator.
	Wow.
	Tell the refrigerator I just went for a run.
	But because our whole world is there, that's where those...
	Why would the refrigerator be interested in whether or not he went for a run?
	Because he needs to see if the evil layer cake can be consumed yet.
	Maybe the crunchy pedophiles at the bottom aren't properly placed.
	Why are pedophiles on the bottom?
	Every bad motive and every bad kind of person that you can imagine, that's where the threat is.
	What about murderers?
	I'm surprised they didn't throw wife beaters in there.
	No, that's not a cyber activity, John.
	It's about cyber activity.
	It's all about cyber.
	Cyber, yeah.
	There's no wife beaters doing it cyber.
	Well, there's bullies.
	Oh, yeah.
	Bullies?
	So there's ways to...
	So the mainstream media hears this, and the gauntlet is down.
	What is this guy trying to steal our thunder?
	We make up these packages with crazy metaphors.
	Not you.
	But okay.
	I think this is CNN. Is this CNN? They made a package out of one of his statements.
	Another one of his metaphors is the crazy kid who's radicalized in the basement.
	Because that's where they live, you see, in the basement.
	You need to have that fear of basement dweller, and they made a package.
	It's no longer necessary to actually meet somebody in Al-Qaeda to get training and inspiration to conduct a terrorist attack here in the United States.
	Someone can do it in their pajamas in their basement.
	Just this week, the FBI charged a Rochester, New York man, Mufed Elfji, with attempting to assist ISIL. Elfji has been on the FBI's radar since 2013.
	A naturalized U.S. citizen from Yemen, he was arrested in June after buying two handguns and two silencers.
	Authorities say he was plotting to kill Army veterans who had fought in Iraq.
	FBI Director James Comey indicated these are the hardest threats to detect.
	These are the homegrown violent extremists that we worry about, who can get all the poison they need and the training they need to kill Americans, and in a way that's very hard for us to spot between the time they emerge from their basement and maybe kill innocent Americans.
	Patrol all basements is what I'm thinking.
	That basements would be a place to start.
	You have to now stop this for a second and play the ABC News, official White House mouthpiece, news version of this guy.
	Instead of that wimpy package that they put together on CNN, listen to this package, which is the homegrown ISIS threat.
	We're going to turn now to a major development tonight and the new concern about the threat.
	What?
	Major.
	It's major.
	It's major.
	It's very major development.
	Stop the press.
	ISIS right here in the U.S. Why is he saying ISIS? Haven't we determined it's ISIL? We've determined the following.
	The government uses ISIL. The media uses ISIS. This is the media.
	We use ISIL, by the way.
	Of course we use ISIL. That is what the president uses.
	That is...
	That's official.
	That's official.
	There's some resistance amongst the media people to use ISIS, and they keep using it.
	And this is an example.
	This is like yesterday.
	One of the biggest worries all along, those so-called lone wolves.
	There is late word tonight that officials here in New York are stepping up security in Times Square.
	And look at this.
	This man from upstate New York, Rochester, under arrest, a local business owner, charged with recruiting terrorists for ISIS... ABC senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas with late details.
	The notion that the owner of Mojo's Pizza and Chicken may have been a secret disciple of ISIS who wanted to kill fellow citizens today left many residents of Rochester, New York shocked.
	It's kind of mind-boggling that that could actually happen in America.
	An undercover FBI sting operation portrays Mufid Elji as a Yemeni-American seething with hatred.
	Newly unsealed documents detail LFG using aliases on Twitter, exhorting his support for terrorist groups and violent jihad, at one point allegedly posting that ISIS will one day rule the world.
	Prosecutors accuse LFG of actively communicating with ISIS supporters overseas, often using social media.
	This is the first known case where anyone has been accused anywhere of attempting to recruit for ISIL or ISIS. Right now, authorities are extremely concerned that ISIS is using social media to encourage attacks by lone wolves.
	The FBI claims Elfji sent $600 to a man in Yemen as seed money to join ISIS in Syria.
	I appreciate what you're saying, but this is not scaring anybody.
	This is one of the most boring packages I've ever heard.
	I love the sound effects.
	We'll finish it off and then we'll want to talk about it for a second.
	Well, I need to play you the real package, but sure.
	All the while trying to convince two FBI informants here in the U.S. to join ISIS as well.
	He was arrested in May after allegedly giving one of the informants more than $1,000 to buy two handguns with silencers.
	A bit of concerns about ISIS, New York City police stepping up security tonight in Times Square, despite no specific plot.
	No specific plot.
	Okay, now here's what gets me about this, and you can play your clip next.
	They said they actually arrested this guy in May.
	Yes.
	So why are they stepping up security in Times Square now?
	Well, because this is propaganda bullcrap, and it's legal.
	It's total propaganda bullcrap, despite no specific threat.
	No, and the guy was buying the guns from FBI agents.
	It's a setup.
	It's a sting.
	It's what they always do.
	This is the re-week cycle.
	This is a classic, except for the fact they didn't have them push a button or anything.
	Hey, I've got a pizza place I'm trying to run here.
	So this is what we're going to see now.
	A lot of this HVE, the homegrown violent extremist, stems from, of course, the highest douche in the land, just Attorney General Holder.
	And he came out and he laid down this whole thing that they're going to do, which is, yeah, we're going to see the six-week cycle might tighten to three weeks.
	I could see them easily chopping it in half because we're going to have this network.
	Just listen.
	And we have engaged in extensive outreach to communities here.
	This is his own little podcast he does on justice.gov.
	He sits in front of his law books and, boy, I'm a holder.
	In the United States, so we can work with them to identify threats before they emerge, to disrupt homegrown terrorists, and to apprehend would-be violent extremists.
	But we can, and we must, do even more.
	Okay, here it comes.
	Okay.
	The Department of Homeland Security.
	That's new?
	Partnering with the White House.
	What?
	But he starts off with this partnering, so then the other partners that are not within government don't seem so strange.
	Partnering with the White House.
	And the National Counterterrorism Center to launch a new series of pilot programs in cities across the nation.
	Pilot programs.
	These programs will bring together community representatives, public safety officials, religious leaders...
	Religious leaders.
	Yeah, there it is.
	They've always been working on those religious leaders to be spying on you.
	And the United States Attorneys to improve local engagement.
	Engagement?
	What, is this a social network they're running?
	Bousy Engagement in Ohio!
	We're pretty engaged over here.
	Clicking away!
	To counter violent extremism.
	And ultimately, to build a broad network of community partnerships to keep our nation safe.
	Now, we had a word for that in the Netherlands in the Second World War, was NSB. Which is, you were a collaborateur.
	Ben, if they caught you, they'd shave your head off and tar and feather you.
	Collaboratoria, a spy.
	That's what they're talking about building.
	Is this not perhaps the force that the president promised when he was still a senator?
	Maybe.
	Or maybe the beginning of it.
	Could be.
	You start small and then you kind of institutionalize and you say it went so well because we haven't had any attacks.
	Nothing happened.
	Nothing happened.
	Yeah, we're all good.
	Yeah.
	Just listen to the last 20 seconds and I'll play my other question.
	President Obama's leadership, along with our interagency affiliates, We will work closely with community representatives to develop comprehensive local strategies, to raise awareness about important issues, to share information on best practices, and to expand and improve training in every area of our country.
	So there were a couple other, like, little sound bites and things that, before I played this CNN package, which is really, it's a doozy.
	There were just little things in some of the hearings that I picked up on.
	This is Jay Johnson, the replacement for Lucy Napolitano, running the Department of Homeland Security, is holding up, I guess, a magazine.
	Somehow, Inspire magazine has, the entire content has received a new cover, and they're calling it the ISIS magazine or the ISIL magazine.
	Would they change their branding?
	Well, they're just putting a different cover on a really old magazine, and they're saying, oh, they show you how to make bombs.
	It's ludicrous.
	These groups are in competition with one another for attention, for fundraising, for recruitment.
	What?
	For subscribers.
	Yes.
	These groups are in competition with one another for attention, for fundraising, for recruitment.
	And one way to compete is to show that you're the biggest and baddest group out there.
	You're not going to be the leader in the global jihad without striking America.
	I didn't clip this.
	I heard this, too.
	This is such bullcrap.
	Well, here's Representative McCall.
	And, I'm sorry, McCall is actually holding the magazine.
	This one from ISIS, a very glossy in English.
	It's what I called, when I wrote my Wall Street Journal op-ed, what they called Jihad Cool.
	It's Jihad Cool.
	That's how he writes about it.
	Jihad Cool.
	Jihad Cool, everybody.
	Yes, Jihad Cool.
	So all of this came on...
	I'll play the CNN clip.
	And I kept wanting to stop it.
	Like, okay, this is enough.
	And then there was just another piece of unbelievable propaganda that they just throw out here.
	This, to me...
	It's something that you must download this video.
	You must keep this.
	This encompasses this moment in our history as completely manipulated, stupid slaves.
	Tonight, a new terror threat to commercial flights.
	And it's not just ISIS that U.S. intelligence is worried about.
	Deborah Farrakh is out front.
	I just gave you that little setup by Aaron.
	You talk about effects.
	CNN's got a library about it.
	With ISIS propaganda out of Syria and Iraq juiced up on steroids, the overriding threat to America, U.S. officials say, is twofold.
	Homegrown violent extremists, the so-called lone wolves, and planes, a favorite terror target because of the economic impact.
	Mitch Silber ran the NYPD's intelligence analysis division.
	There's sort of a flair for the dramatic, and there's nothing more dramatic than an exploding airliner, and I think that's one of the reasons why they've continued to aim for that target.
	Are you hard yet?
	Because I love this.
	Experts believe bomb makers now in Syria have been training jihadis from the West, in part to attack jetliners.
	Woo!
	It operates the most sophisticated propaganda machine of any terrorist organization.
	Today, the head of the National Counterterrorism Center testified the immediate threat to the US, lone wolves.
	What really worries American counterterrorism officials is that ISIS will...
	This, by the way, is not the guy who said it.
	This is just one of their British analysts who they throw in there to make it all sound official.
	Prioritize launching attacks against the United States.
	We'll train Western recruits in bomb-making and send them back.
	Unlike a sophisticated 9-11 attack where hijackers learned how to fly planes, officials say simpler attacks are the real threat, appealing to extremists who need virtually no training and little money to spread chaos with homemade explosives pieced together from store-bought items.
	The Boston Marathon bombers used pressure cooker devices they learned to make online.
	The 2009 subway plotter also made his own explosive device, as did the foiled 2010 Times Square car bomber.
	With the specter of ISIS in Iraq and Syria and the arrest of a Rochester New York man accused of recruiting wannabe ISIS fighters, the NYPD stepped up security Wednesday on mass transit and places like Times Square to provide peace of mind.
	It just keeps on going.
	And of course, nobody ever says, the guy was arrested in May, why did they suddenly step up security when they say there's no known anything?
	Because this is all part of a scam.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And the scam, what is a half a billion dollars?
	Is this really the scam that we're after?
	This is bullcrap.
	Half a billion dollars is nothing.
	In the land of arming someone, that's not a real offer of anything.
	And of course, it flies right through the House and will go through Senate.
	And everyone's like, yeah, we are.
	Oh, I don't agree, but I do.
	We should do something.
	It's our duty.
	Did you see the president at the base talking where he announced all of this?
	Yeah, I have a clip, actually.
	I clipped it, too.
	I have the clip.
	I had a couple of clips, but I only kept the one where he actually discussed the details of what he intends to do.
	That's the one I have, as well.
	And he's reading.
	You have to remind yourself, when you watch the president do this, he is reading.
	This is not coming from his heart.
	And, you know, I took this longer clip, and he has a cadence, John, that is so precise that I think we can analyze it.
	In fact, I made a screenshot for you.
	If you go to itm.im slash cadence.
	.itm.im.
	Well, I am slash kdense.
	Oh, hmm.
	That's interesting.
	Now, did you see the overview at the top of that picture?
	You can scroll around to see it.
	So, he starts off, and so the solid bits are loud, and it's almost as equal length.
	He goes really soft, then he goes loud, it's a little shorter, then he goes soft for about the same amount, then he goes loud, and then he goes soft for a little bit, and then he really finishes off big.
	And that's the entire, you know, the nuts and bolts of it, if you will.
	Yeah, that's an interesting idea.
	That's probably been broken.
	That's probably been found to be effective, I guess.
	I don't know.
	I have no idea.
	Well, let's listen to this little thing where we have to do it for the children, for everybody.
	He's talking to people that he's clearly sending in DeBoer.
	America can make a decisive difference.
	But I want to be clear.
	The American forces that have been deployed to Iraq do not and will not have a combat mission.
	They will support Iraqi forces on the ground as they fight for their own country against these terrorists.
	As your commander-in-chief, I will not commit you and the rest of our armed forces to fighting another ground war in Iraq.
	And by the way, this is total bullcrap because an advisor...
	Can actually be firing the gun, advising you how to fire the gun.
	This is all legalese.
	It's all total bullcrap.
	I've had multiple cross-conversations with our military intelligence group, and the advisors are teaching people how to use the weapons, and they just happen to be doing it against the enemy.
	So this is combat.
	Make no mistake.
	This is a lie.
	After a decade of massive ground deployments, It is more effective to use our unique capabilities in support of partners on the ground so they can secure their own country's futures.
	And that's the only solution that will succeed over the long term.
	Now this is the pitch.
	Now he's got to sell it.
	What can we sell it with?
	We'll use our air power.
	Oh yeah, okay, we'll use that.
	We will train and equip our partners.
	We will advise them and we will assist them.
	We will lead a broad coalition of countries who have a stake in this fight.
	Because this is not simply America versus ISIL. This is the people of the region fighting against ISIL. It is the world rejecting the brutality of ISIL in favor of a better future for our children, our children's children, all of them.
	That's right.
	Think of the children.
	That's right.
	That's what you need to do, everybody.
	Please think of the children!
	And then he had this very bad read, I found.
	This whole lead-up to what will be happening and how America is awesome.
	This, I think, was a George W. Bush speech that they just pulled out of their ass somewhere and just gave it to him.
	And he tried to make it work, and I thought it was horrible.
	Well, you know, I think he does a lot of cold reading.
	This is a cold read.
	He was not comfortable with this copy.
	And if you're doing this particular speech and you don't have it nailed, you come across as phony.
	And he really, really came across as super phony.
	It is America that has the unique capability to mobilize against an organization like ISIL. In a world full of...
	Broader social challenges.
	It is America that has the unique capability and know-how to help contain and combat a threat like Ebola.
	I love this.
	What?
	Hold on a second.
	Now he's going to give himself some credit for this.
	The epidemic in Africa.
	Just so you know, that's the epidemic in Africa, everybody.
	Ebola, you heard of it?
	You heard about this?
	Epidemic Africa, yeah?
	What?
	Total botch.
	You can't do that.
	That was stupid.
	It's stupid.
	To help contain and combat a threat like Ebola.
	The epidemic in Africa.
	And yesterday, on top of all that we're already doing to help.
	I'm already doing so much on top of everything.
	I took time out of my day.
	To go and fix Ebola.
	I announced a major boost to our response.
	We're establishing a military command center in Liberia at the request of their government to support civilian efforts across the region.
	And Major General Darrell Williams, commander of our army forces in Africa, arrived yesterday.
	He's already on the ground.
	On the ground, on the ground.
	3,000 troops we're sending just to help out people.
	No worries.
	And our armed forces will bring their unique, unrivaled expertise in command and control and logistics and engineering.
	We'll kill some people.
	We're very unique at that.
	Including creating an air bridge to get health workers and medical supplies into West Africa faster.
	Now, this to me was a conjured image which I believe has no basis in reality.
	What air bridge?
	Are they under siege?
	I don't know what this is.
	You know, I have a thought about this that's got nothing to do with what he said.
	I had that same clip.
	He's talking about all this stuff.
	I think it was in the late 90s, or maybe it was even sooner or earlier than that.
	I had a link to that, and I think it went floating around Twitter.
	Of the American Ebola testing that was going on for a vaccine.
	It was a three-part test of different loads, payloads of virus fragments to see if anyone could get immunity from a vaccine.
	I believe, and I think the 3,000 soldiers, I would love to find out if any of them had this vaccine, because I think this is just sending people into Ebola country to see if the vaccine works.
	Hmm.
	Because the military is commonly used as guinea pigs.
	And if you're in the military and they say, you've got to hear, we're going to give you a vaccine, they never even tell you.
	They don't even have to tell you by the law.
	That's right.
	They can just give you a shot.
	Oh, well, we'll find out.
	We'll find out.
	Some will let us know.
	Yeah, eventually.
	Lord knows it's a large enough sample size.
	Yeah, that's the idea.
	That's what the $3,000 must be for, because what is the point of these people?
	And I just want to say, $3,000, and it won't stop with $3,000, but you know what that costs on an annual basis?
	Lots.
	$10 billion.
	Yeah.
	Just for the men and women.
	Yeah, the overhead is most of the expense.
	And then they can't cook for themselves.
	They don't have KP guys anymore.
	They bring all these contractors that cook food for the military.
	This is terrible.
	McDonald's, Pizza Hut, they're all on base.
	I've seen it in Basra.
	Yeah, they are.
	Wendy's.
	I'm not buying the air bridge.
	That's bogus.
	...medical supplies into West Africa faster.
	And obviously in all our efforts, the safety of our personnel will remain a top priority.
	A top priority.
	In the nation of Liberia, one person who heard this news yesterday was reported to say, Check this out.
	We have been praying to get the disease wiped out of our country, so if the coming of U.S. troops will help us get that done, we will be happy.
	Happy little black man!
	Bullcrap.
	Nobody wants these troops.
	No, of course not!
	And by the way, how can something be a top priority?
	Well, it's not.
	Of course, it's bullcrap.
	Well, I mean, but something is the top priority.
	It's a contradiction in terms.
	I agree.
	Yeah, you can't have a top priority because then you'd have another top priority.
	Well, wait a minute.
	You can't have two top priorities.
	Well, I'm going to guess it doesn't mean the safety of our personnel is the top priority.
	That's just a guess.
	And that's the story.
	Oh!
	That was my favorite.
	That is a subtitle.
	And that's the story.
	You've got to cut that out.
	You've got to use that more.
	I shall.
	That's the story.
	And that's the story.
	I'm sticking to my guns.
	Across the board.
	Across the board.
	He is so...
	I think that was an ad lib, by the way.
	I think so, too, because he was too enthusiastic.
	If there is a hurricane, if there is a typhoon, if there is some sort of crisis, if there is an earthquake, if there is a need for a rescue mission, when the world is threatened, when the world needs help, this is a build-up.
	Can you feel the build-up?
	You know, this build-up reminded me of this.
	And now to tell you more about all the exciting details of Sega of America's President and CEO, Tom Kalinske.
	It sounded just like that.
	It calls on America.
	Call on America.
	America.
	Hell yeah.
	Even the countries that complain about America.
	Complaining about us.
	Damn crazies.
	See, this is a George W. Bush speech.
	It's like, even countries that don't like us.
	They need help.
	Who do they call?
	Ghostbusters.
	They call us.
	That's right.
	That is the most arrogant thing I've ever heard anyone say.
	It's really arrogant.
	And I apologize on behalf of the American people that our president said this.
	This is the most arrogant thing.
	All that was missing for him after he said they called us was him going, woo!
	Yeah!
	Yeah, that's all that was missing.
	I am so embarrassed.
	It's pretty funny.
	So when I come in and walk into a room of other nationalities, people, you should stand and salute me.
	Because I'm an American.
	And when you got a typhoon, when you got a hurricane, even if you don't like us, you bitches still call us!
	Now kiss my ring.
	And then America calls on you.
	Now this is a bummer.
	Wait a minute.
	Wait a minute?
	Wait a minute!
	We're here to solve some other countries' crap?
	Well, this doesn't sound like a very good deal.
	To all the servicemen and women here and around the world, we ask a lot of you.
	Yeah?
	Yeah, I'll say.
	Don't think we're going to take care of you later.
	And any mission involves risk.
	And any mission separates you from your families.
	Sell it, Barack.
	Family, children.
	Sending our service members into harm's way is not a decision I ever take lightly.
	It is the hardest decision I make as president.
	Nothing else comes close.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Isn't the kill list harder?
	Or...
	I'm determining to do the chip shot with the wedge, or maybe you could shank it with a 5-iron.
	You'd use a chipper.
	I'm a chipper kind of guy.
	But you can do a 9-iron.
	A lot of guys don't have chippers in their bag.
	I bet you they're present.
	You only have so many clubs legally.
	You can't have everything in the world.
	Oh, is there a limit?
	Yeah.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	What's the limit of clubs?
	Otherwise, you guys would be carrying all kinds of strange clubs just for, you know, doing weird stuff.
	Oh, see, I didn't even know there was a limit.
	Yeah, no, you can only carry X number of clubs.
	I don't know what the number is anymore.
	Does it change per league or per tournament?
	Yeah, that would be when they have the rigid rules.
	If you're just playing a casual game with your buddy, you can have 100 clubs.
	That's some caddy carrying two bags full of clubs.
	If you're the president of America, you can have whatever club you want.
	Yeah, well, he just hasn't made custom.
	But anyway, this is the hardest decisions he has to make.
	2.5 iron.
	I do it only when I know the mission is vital to the security of this country that we love.
	I do it only because I know...
	That is so insincere.
	So this, and it's really bothered me, because you know I have a, I come from military.
	So when I hear him, this insult, like, I really only, I really, I really only do it.
	Has he served?
	I don't believe so.
	No, of course not.
	Are you kidding me?
	And his voice cracks.
	You phony, you phony, fake phony.
	The mission is vital to the security of this country that we love.
	I do it only because I know...
	I do it only because I know...
	Sounds like he's taking a crap on me.
	It's paining me.
	I can't poop.
	It pains me.
	That you're the best there is at what you do.
	You're the best.
	But if there was a better...
	Some other guys, I'd get them.
	Screw y'all.
	And frankly, they're just...
	Frankly.
	They just aren't...
	A lot of other folks who can perform in the same way.
	Who are poor enough and had no other future that you got into the military.
	Some of you actually believe very much in protecting the country, and that's highly appreciated.
	But there was just nobody else.
	So sorry.
	You're it.
	In fact, there are none.
	And there's some things...
	What?
	We're getting tired of listening to this guy.
	Alright, you can listen to the whole thing in the...
	But this was my favorite.
	We have broken the ISIS code, John.
	Now, if you recall that Al-Qaeda...
	And I say ISIS only because that's what...
	This is television bits here.
	And this is not the ISIL. We know that we found the terror laptop of doom.
	The terror laptop of doom did not use the sophisticated Mujahideen encryption.
	Yeah, for some unknown reason.
	Very troubling.
	And now, luckily...
	We have, and this comes to us through CNN, they report, we have broken their top secret code.
	Oh, really?
	Tonight, shocking new audio from a convicted terrorist talking to a key ISIS operative.
	CNN has obtained tapes showing the secret ways that ISIS terrorists communicate with one another.
	They talk in code about planning attacks against Americans.
	I want you to hear the code names that they use for things.
	The Boston man wanted for questioning in connection with ISIS and its grisly propaganda.
	Grizzly spoke frequently with friends about waging jihad against America and U.S. troops.
	Ahmed Abu Samra, pal Tarek Mahana, and others often spoke in code according to court documents.
	Culinary school was code for training camps.
	Peanut butter and jelly, code for jihad.
	So I guess these guys couldn't ask each other for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
	Well, if you hear the audio, I think they are.
	Listen as Mahana talks to another English speaker, apparently in Somalia, who tells him to come fight.
	Well, right now I'm in a culinary school and I just make peanut butter and jelly.
	I think he's actually in a culinary school making peanut butter and jelly.
	I don't know if he's saying it.
	Well, it sounds almost like he might be in a culinary school and then complaining about their lack of courseware where he's making peanut butter and jelly in a culinary school at Academy.
	That would be stupid.
	What am I doing here in this crazy place if you're going to just teach me peanut butter and jelly?
	This guy doesn't sound like, you know...
	And by the way, I'm a little disappointed that they didn't use mac and cheese as a code.
	Hannah talks to another English speaker, apparently in Somalia, who tells him to come fight.
	Well, right now I'm in a culinary school and I just make peanut butter and jelly.
	Alright.
	I think it's a Budweiser commercial.
	What's up?
	I'm in a culinary making peanut butter and jelly.
	What's up?
	Recordings were introduced at Mahana's terror trial.
	Other court records show Pakistan was referred to as P-Town.
	Yemen was the...
	Ooh, this is some sophisticated code.
	Philadelphia or Pittsburgh.
	Do you remember after the 9-11 attacks, there was a period of time, it was like, I don't know, maybe one or two years after they happened, where the FBI started rounding people up and they busted all these dumb fucks that were just, you know, goofing around.
	And they went to court and they took the conversation between the two guys and essentially took the, you know, like, hi, how you doing?
	You said essentially.
	Okay.
	Hi, how you doing?
	Thank you.
	Hi.
	Let me put another mark down.
	Oh.
	Two.
	That's two on the essentially.
	And one on the weird.
	Luckily, I think I can break that one first.
	So they take a conversation where the guy says, well, yeah, I'm pretty good today.
	What are you doing?
	Oh, I'm going to go get my car washed.
	And the FBI just substitutes all the words.
	Every word.
	Yeah, well, the way we see it, the word I actually means jihad.
	Getting car washed means AK-47.
	Yeah.
	What are you doing today means let's kill all Americans.
	I mean, it was just bull crap.
	There was no basis for this reinterpretation of the exchange.
	There was no foundation for it.
	No.
	But I like the imagination.
	Oh, my God.
	I like the imagination of peanut butter and jelly.
	YMCA. And the FBI was referred to as Bob O'Brien.
	Yeah.
	I'm talking about Bob.
	Why would there be two different guys, Bob or Brian?
	Is one the old guy, the new guy?
	I don't know.
	Listen again to Mahana asking his unidentified friend for an email address.
	Do you have an email or something that you're checking or just the phone?
	Actually, I'm not even on the internet.
	Trust me, there's no way I'm going to be on the internet.
	Not that there isn't some here, but where I am right now, no.
	This is no internet.
	Sounds like there's no hotspot.
	I don't know, man.
	So they're just throwing everything out that they can.
	They really didn't have the packages done for the Scotland stuff.
	That wasn't done.
	Peter King flubbed nicely.
	I thought that was a funny one.
	Peter King is the douche knuckle who's on the committee, is he not?
	Yeah, Peter King is one of the...
	He's just a horrible person.
	Yes.
	Peter King from New York.
	Congressman, you just heard Deb's report.
	I know National Counterterrorism Director Matthew Olson said today terrorists are targeting flights that Americans fly.
	What have you learned about this threat?
	Well, there's no doubt this threat is there.
	ISIS is coming at us from, will attempt to come at us from any direction.
	How did you hear him?
	He uses ISIS. Yeah, but what he says, ISIS is coming at us from every direction.
	From everywhere.
	And then he looks off camera and goes, oh yeah, I mean, they're coming.
	Listen to it again.
	It's like he jumped ahead.
	Oh yeah, I'm not supposed to say that just yet.
	I just heard Deb's report.
	I know National Counterterrorism Director Matthew Olson said today terrorists are targeting flights that Americans fly.
	What have you learned about this threat?
	Well, there's no doubt this threat is there.
	ISIS is coming at us from, will attempt to come at us from many directions.
	And they have assets that al-Qaeda did not have.
	They have assets.
	Al-Qaeda really had just a small number of people who are capable of coming into the United States.
	ISIS has thousands who can come to the United States.
	Oh!
	I know, I know.
	It's so painful to listen to these lies.
	This is horrible.
	These guys are terrible.
	You know what it is, John?
	There's thousands.
	They're coming to get us.
	And like the great Lindsey Graham said, they're going to kill us all.
	But if you look at Twitter right now trending, no one cares.
	They are convincing Washington.
	This is all in a vacuum.
	The bubble.
	It's a total bubble.
	Total bubble.
	And then this cute clip comes across the wire.
	This is book talk on C-SPAN from, I think it's 1990.
	I'm talking about the Mossad.
	The guy wrote the book called...
	Oh yes, this is a good clip.
	Every Spy a Prince.
	And they're talking about how you address Mossad.
	You tell a story about how you try to find out what they call the Mossad when they deal with it publicly?
	I thought it was a reasonable question, but the trouble is you can't pick up the phone book.
	There's no Langley in Israel that you can look up CIA, or in our case, the Mossad.
	We thought we should ask, what shall we call it in English?
	You can translate the Hebrew words.
	As I said, Mossad is institute.
	But when they write a letter to their friends in the CIA or the British intelligence, what do they call themselves?
	It took a while.
	It was a matter of asking the prime minister's spokesman.
	The best you could do, because officially the Mossad is under the prime minister's office.
	And I think he sort of wondered why you want to know and all that, so we explained.
	And he came up with the Israeli Secret Intelligence Service.
	I mean, if it were to have initials, it would be ISIS. Yeah, I had that clip too.
	That's the only possibility for the ISIS-ISIL dichotomy.
	Agreed.
	And media is using ISIS and the government's using ISIL and I still don't know what the basis for the dichotomy is, but it's definitely there.
	And, you know, people get these always because one says Syria, we can't use it.
	And that's not it.
	It's got nothing to do with the word Syria versus something else.
	It's code.
	Here is Jen Psaki, and she's being questioned by, I think, Rosen from Fox.
	And she actually lets the propaganda truth slip out in her answer here.
	Go ahead.
	Does the Obama administration consider this an act of war?
	We certainly, I'm not going to put new labels on it, James.
	I would say we certainly consider this act, this reported act, the act of the killing of James Foley as a horrific terrorist act that we certainly have, has helped, has not helped to, I should say, has been one of the motivating factors in the effort to undergo the creation of an international coalition to address this threat.
	I'm watching the video.
	Okay.
	The sweetened video.
	So this is of epic proportion.
	And I'm just...
	I'm so...
	What is flummoxed?
	Is that maybe the word?
	Good word.
	Flummoxed.
	Yes, I feel completely flummoxed that we saw this happen.
	We saw it happen before our very eyes.
	We took the time to look at each video.
	We saw how the videos were claimed to be truthful and correct.
	And then the British press said, well, wait a minute, it doesn't look like it.
	That got swept under the rug quickly.
	And then the president starts using it, and now they're passing a half a billion dollar bill to give this money to some guys.
	Just some guys.
	Yeah, we don't even know who these some guys are, really.
	And then MSNBC. Well, you know, before you go, I'm going to get back to this money floating around, because I always thought that McCain, I have a couple of clips I want to get out of the way.
	McCain has...
	Oh, this was good.
	Him and Dempsey, yeah.
	He has it in for Dempsey.
	Well, because they're both short men, and Dempsey is a little more leprechaun-y, and he just wants to step on the little man.
	The reason is because Dempsey, as we know from our sources, is the one who killed the bombing of Syria during that moment when they were supposedly gassing people and before we proved they weren't gassing people.
	Because Dempsey's a smart guy.
	Dempsey, well, he's also a military man who knows that you don't want to just...
	You don't want to...
	You know, he's actually anti-war.
	Yeah, but that's because he's a good...
	At the end of the day, like most military men.
	Yes, he's a real military man, exactly.
	He's still a leprechaun.
	He has leprechaun-y features.
	Yeah, well, he's definitely weird-looking.
	But, yeah, McCain...
	It looks matter, I'm telling you.
	It looks matter.
	There was some money involved that McCain could have scored big.
	And for some reason...
	It never happened.
	And so I have these two...
	And so he hates Dempsey.
	And in fact, I think he has a number of times said he wants Dempsey fired.
	Yes.
	So McCain versus Dempsey round one would be a good clip.
	In his statement to the country.
	I take it from your answer that we are now recruiting these young men to go and fight in Syria against ISIL. But if they're attacked by Bashar Assad, we're not going to help them.
	They will defend themselves, Senator.
	Will we help them against Assad's error?
	We will help them and we will support them as we have trained them.
	Will we repel Bashar Assad's air assets that will be attacking them?
	Any attack on those that we have trained who are supporting us, we will help them.
	I guess I'm not going to get an answer.
	He gave him an answer!
	I didn't really give him the right answer.
	Okay, so then he turns it to Dempsey.
	That is Hegel, obviously.
	Yeah, but he does it with a trick.
	He asks Hegel something, Hegel doesn't know him, then he slams it right to Dempsey.
	And Dempsey was ready for it.
	To me, that you have to neutralize Bashar Assad's air assets if you are going to protect these people that we are arming and training and sending in to fight.
	Is that inaccurate, General Dempsey?
	No.
	The coalition we're forming, Senator, won't form unless...
	If we were to take Assad off the table, we'd have a much more difficult time forming a coalition.
	But I think what you're hearing us express is an ISIL-first strategy.
	I don't think we'll find ourselves in that situation, given what we...
	You don't think that the Free Syrian Army is going to fight against Bashar Assad, who has been decimating them?
	You think that these people you're training will only go back to fight against ISIL? Do you really believe that, General?
	What I believe, Senator, is that as we train them and develop a military chain of command linked to a political structure, that we can establish objectives that defer that challenge into the future.
	We do not have to deal with it now.
	That's a fundamental misunderstanding of the entire concept and motivation of the Free Syrian Army.
	It is Bashar Assad that has killed many more of them than ISIL has.
	And for us to say that we are going to go in and help and train and equip these people and only to fight against ISIL, you're not going to get many recruits to do that, General.
	I guarantee you that.
	And that's a fundamental fallacy in everything you are presenting this committee today.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Not unimportant.
	I found an analysis of the situation.
	If you want to break up your two clips, you have a second one here?
	Do I have a second one?
	I have a McCain versus Dempsey round two, short 50 seconds.
	Yeah, that's the one where McCain kind of makes the mistake of attacking Dempsey on something that Dempsey was not...
	Dempsey could sidestep.
	You can play that one, yeah.
	General Secretary Hagel, was the president right in 2012 when he overruled most of his national security team and refused to train the moderate opposition in Syria at that time?
	Senator, I was not there at the time, so I'm limited.
	Well, I asked General Dempsey then.
	He was there at the time.
	I'm sorry, Senator, when you asked the question.
	I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention.
	I was daydreaming.
	President Wright, in 2012, when he overruled his Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, and Director of the CIA, and refused to train and equip the modern opposition forces in Syria, which, according to your testimony, we're doing today.
	Senator, you know that I recommended that we train them, and you know that for policy reasons, the decision was taken in another direction.
	Thank you.
	Right, and did you hear what Nelson asked McCain right after that?
	I have the Nelson clip.
	Oh, I have the Nelson clip, too.
	This is Nelson.
	This is one of those visual ones I was watching with Mimi.
	I said, you've got to watch this.
	And it was Nelson asked this question, and in the middle of it, of McCain's response, Carl Levin, who's sitting next to Nelson, gives him like an elbow, and he comes up and says, don't ask this a-hole.
	Yeah.
	These sorts of questions because he's going to take up all your time.
	Yeah, here it is.
	Senator McCain, Senator Nelson.
	Senator McCain, you're aware that there were published reports of covert training.
	I love this.
	Wait a minute.
	Covert training?
	I thought we'd say, what?
	This guy's outing everybody.
	Yeah.
	Sovert training.
	See if Dempsey...
	I am aware of it, and I'm also aware of the scale of the training that was required, and I'm also aware of the situation today, and I'm also aware that 192,000 people have been slaughtered.
	Good try.
	A lot of them would be so-called barrel bombs...
	and the use of chlorine gas, which has caused a humanitarian disaster of incredible proportions.
	Yes, I'm aware of that.
	General Dempsey, are you aware of the published reports of covert training?
	Yeah.
	And of course he went, I don't talk about that, you moron.
	I can't talk about covert anything, dork.
	I found this show on RT. I think it's called Crosstalk, which seems like they can't use that name, but maybe it's Crosstalk RT or whatever it is.
	Yeah, something.
	And they have, I like it because they have scholars on, elites from different universities.
	Yes, I've seen this show.
	It's pretty good.
	It can be, yeah.
	I like the host.
	The host is really good.
	The host is very funny.
	He's very no-agenda-ish, actually, some of the things he says.
	He's quite good.
	Entertaining.
	And here's the University of Oklahoma scholar, and he really explains exactly what the conundrum is with what the president is trying to do, which seems to be an impossibility.
	The United States...
	As you said in your beginning setup is making a classic mistake here, which is that they have catapulted the Shiites to the top of society in Iraq.
	And they're trying to do something similar but opposite in Syria, which is to put the Sunnis on the top of society.
	And we've been fighting the Sunnis In Anbar province and in Iraq.
	And we're trying to aid the Sunni rebels against the Shiites in Syria.
	So these two halves, which have now conjoined, don't fit together.
	Because in a sense, we're aiding the same rebels that have been undermining Iraq.
	So this is the conundrum for the United States policy right now.
	Yeah.
	But I think that was very well explained.
	Yeah, I think it is one of the many problems.
	So it's just about spending money the way I'm seeing it.
	We will follow them to the gates of hell!
	And we will continue to keep our eye on the gates of hell.
	With that, I'd like to say thank you for your ultimate courage showing up after all these hours and in the morning to you, John C. Dvorak.
	It's my job to show up.
	Yeah, it's about all you have to do.
	A little late.
	Think about it.
	And in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	In the morning to all ships that see boots on the ground, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	And in the morning, because it is morning somewhere, to everyone in the chat room, human resources there, who have been hanging in for quite a while.
	In the morning to all of our artists, thank you, 20-watt ball, back with a vengeance on episode 652.
	I used them in the newsletter, too.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	That approved one.
	You didn't see the newsletter?
	Yes, I did.
	It was so long ago, I don't remember.
	It's about the lesbian kiss.
	Oh, yes.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	All right, well, we do have a few people to thank as executive producers and associate executive producers for show 653, beginning with good old Terry Gore, who is an Insta Knight, who came in with $1,033.33 over here in San Jose.
	He sent a card, actually a pretty cute little card, and Loving the mac and cheese life.
	Or living it.
	Living the mac and cheese life.
	Thanks for the show.
	Where else can I get a knighthood for $1,000?
	Please can I have a John's mac and cheese jingle plus a de-douching for not living up to my part of the value for value deal.
	And then he wants to be knighted.
	Sir T.J. of My Left Tongue Foo.
	Oh, hold on.
	I don't think I have that note in the admin.
	Say it again, sir?
	Sir TJ, which is what we're going to call him.
	TJ or TG? TG, I'm sorry.
	TG. Of my left tongue, and then the word looks like either to or foo, and I believe it's foo, based on his other Fs.
	Of my left tongue foo?
	Yeah, tongue foo.
	Everyone went tongue foo fighting.
	Okay.
	I guess.
	I hope you're right.
	Thanks, Terry.
	Okay.
	Very nice.
	All right, so I'll throw a karma in with that as well.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	Nice.
	Thank you very much, sir.
	TG of my left tongue, foo.
	Everyone went tongue-fu fighting.
	Sir Don Tommaso de Toronto is back with $505.05 from Kettleby, Ontario.
	And all he says is karma, bitches, from Don Tommaso de Toronto.
	Okay.
	He will need some karma.
	Let me see if I can do this.
	Some bitch karma?
	I guess.
	Is that what he'd be looking for?
	I don't know.
	Hold on a second.
	I think he's just demanding karma and calling us bitches.
	Alright, here you go.
	You've got karma.
	Bitch, look it up, it's science!
	There you go.
	Oh, jeez.
	Sir Robert Alter in Kansas City, Missouri.
	$350 would be our executive producer.
	ITM, gentlemen.
	Tomorrow I leave for a two-month tour of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
	Please send me some Don't Behead Me, Bro.
	You've got karma.
	You like it?
	Only this show!
	Well, come on.
	They sweetened their own damn video with a knife on a sharpening stone, so please insult me.
	There's something humorous about this song.
	Thank you.
	Have fun.
	Make sure, Sir Robert, to keep us apprised at what you know.
	Take some photos.
	Even though, you know, the Saudis are a little uptight about a lot of stuff.
	But Qatar's got some nice views.
	They've got some beautiful bridges, some nice architecture.
	You should send some.
	And you've got the UAE, of course.
	Craig Mazzella in Fairfield, Connecticut.
	34567, one of my favorite donations.
	He's got a few shows to go.
	Amy donated a sack of sevens and asked for real estate karma.
	It must have worked because shortly after reading the donation on the show at a home, which we previously bid on and were told to fuck off, returned with a counter offer.
	We've since done inspections and found a few issues.
	So I wanted to donate and ask for some cooperative seller karma.
	This donation also hopefully makes up for all the times I said I would donate over the past few months and have not.
	Probably couldn't hurt to do a quick de-douching as well.
	Always good policy.
	The show continues to be a great source of information and entertainment for me, and I appreciate what you guys do.
	Please keep up the great work, and if you could play the old Oreos, if you could play the old Oreos are more added or more addictive than cocaine for my wife, I'd appreciate it.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Absolutely.
	You've been de-douched.
	Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine.
	You've got karma.
	Hey, thanks.
	Appreciate the support there.
	Nice.
	Okay, Joshua Wycopan, or Wychopen, or Wycopan, but he's in Spring, Texas, $333.
	He's got a long note, but he doesn't want us to read it all, so I'll read the parts of it.
	I wanted to show my support and put my money where my mouth was.
	Boy, have I been getting some real value for value out of the show recently.
	I just sent you guys 33333 and I felt really good.
	I felt really good.
	I do need to call out John.
	He says it felt really good.
	Yeah, well, whatever it was, it felt good for him to do that.
	I do need to call out John DeLeon as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	Not donating as of late.
	He lovingly punched me in the mouth several years ago, and I've yet to see him donate.
	I own a company, Precision Creations, in the Woodlands, in the Woodlands area, just outside of Houston.
	It does website and app development, marketing, advertising.
	If you guys could do a small plug on the show, it would be fantastic.
	Business has been great this past year, and I accredit Some of that to you guys.
	The karma works wonders.
	I just nailed another big contract.
	Yay.
	And I decided it was high time.
	I bumped up my donations.
	You don't need to mention this on the show unless you want to.
	I was in a meeting a few weeks in D.C. with an advertising firm, and they were talking about a new show they were putting together to rival the Daily Show with Jon Stewart launching this fall.
	We love inside information like this, so this gets read.
	This is good.
	They mentioned they are still looking for a host, so naturally I pitched the idea of Adam doing it.
	Here's the meeting.
	Here's the meeting.
	Who?
	Funny thing was one of the guys in the meeting knew of you from your days back at MTV and kind of liked the idea.
	Must have been a senior guy.
	But I told him it might be hard to get because you're currently doing the best podcast in the universe.
	I'm not available.
	Sorry.
	Mr.
	Curry's unavailable.
	He has other projects.
	And anyway, does he give us a website address for his Precision Creations?
	I can look it up on Google.
	Precision Creations in Houston.
	Yeah, it wouldn't be hard to find.
	Here we go.
	Sir Greg Birch is back.
	Does he need any karma?
	Does he need a karma?
	Yeah, I should give him a karma.
	Yeah, sorry.
	Definitely a karma.
	You've got karma.
	And there's Sir Greg Birch, yes.
	We had a clip because he sent a note in.
	Then you got a copy of it.
	Oh.
	And he attached the clip he wanted us to play with his donation.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	You actually have the clip somewhere.
	It says, Daughter Singing in the Morning.
	Oh, yeah.
	I have that.
	Go ahead.
	Read the note.
	I have it somewhere.
	I got the note.
	I don't remember getting this memo, but okay.
	Let me see.
	Yes.
	Thank you, Greg Burr.
	September 17th.
	John C. DeVorek.
	Adam Curry.
	Adam at curry.com.
	You got it.
	Okay.
	I would like my $210 donation to go toward the knighthood of Jeffrey Ant, A-N-T, who reminded me to read Trust Me, I'm Lying.
	Ah.
	Also, thank you to Jeremy for hitting me in the mouth and giving me a ham radio study guide.
	Good policy.
	Yes, very good.
	In the morning, in the morning, in the morning, in the morning, in the morning.
	You've got Carla...
	Like that.
	Yeah, that's cute.
	Yeah, the study guy, you know, the key to success is to go to those testing sites and take the test a lot.
	No, the key is that you download all the questions and the answers are published.
	Yeah, I know, but then you take these tests.
	No, you get the little app that just rehearses all the questions, asks them out of order, and you learn the right ones and you're good to go.
	Excuse me, I have my general, okay.
	Mr.
	Technician Only.
	I'll get a take, General, if not you're pushing me.
	Jerk.
	Sir Michael Levin, Brooklyn, New York, 200 bucks.
	ITM, John and Adam, last newsletter caught me at my desk versus on the move.
	So I have no reason not to donate.
	Please send some high-quality sales karma to my wife.
	Here you go, yeah, coming at you.
	You've got karma.
	And our last associate executive producer will be Michael DeCock, who is, or DeCock is DeCock.
	I think it's DeCock.
	Dad, the cuck.
	$200 in Chandler, Arizona.
	Dear Jubal Harshaw and Valentine Michael Smith, just a quick note of appreciation to the best podcast in the universe.
	You help us all grok the world a little better with each episode.
	How mad does that make you to have to read that word?
	I'm not happy.
	No.
	Absolutely.
	Hey, these are real credits, these executive producer and associate executive producer credits.
	We separate them from the credit roll, which we have coming up later.
	We thank everybody for all of their support.
	But these are the people who step in with their monetary support for the show, and without any support, it's just not going to happen.
	So we're very, very happy.
	And that is why, yeah, we'll wait for hours until the power comes back on.
	We're going to give you your value for value.
	And you can do that by going to naturally, we always have the necessity for people to go out there and propagate our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	World's order.
	Shut up, slave.
	Shut up, slave.
	That's good.
	What's good?
	That we have some support for today's show.
	Yeah, I'm very happy.
	But we have another show coming up on Sunday in just a couple days.
	Yeah, and I'll be in San Francisco.
	Oh, is that the podcast thing?
	Yeah, you're going to come on Saturday, aren't you?
	You're going to come with me?
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Okay.
	It starts at 5.
	If it's people you know from 10 years ago, it's not going to be all that great.
	Oh, yeah.
	In fact, we may want to plan a dinner.
	That we can slide off to or something?
	Yeah, we could.
	Even though it's my night for doing prep.
	Well, it's my night for doing prep, too.
	Alright, screw it.
	We'll just go to the thing, have a drink.
	We'll go to the thing, have a snack, and then maybe stop someplace.
	No, we won't.
	Screw you.
	Drop me off at the hotel.
	I've got to go prep.
	What hotel are you going to be at?
	Very cheap one.
	I'm not going to broadcast what hotel I'm going to be at.
	Yeah, people want to visit.
	All right, all right.
	Maybe we'll do something.
	Hey, I got a couple of them.
	We'll go to one of those food truck things.
	Okay.
	No, that's not going to happen.
	A number of people have been trying to name the disease that we've been talking about.
	You know, the one that is...
	Ebola?
	No.
	The one that is less healthy than cocaine.
	The Facebook, social media...
	We've got a bunch of people complaining to us, too.
	We had some guy wrote in a very nasty note.
	Saying that you're a douchebag, mainly.
	I don't think I received this one.
	Did I get this one?
	No, I sent it to me, maybe, just to bitch about you.
	You know, the same kind of thing.
	So he says, you're a douchebag because Facebook is the greatest thing that's ever happened.
	I don't remember this email.
	Yeah, yeah.
	He went on and on about it.
	He says, you're just harsh.
	And if it wasn't for Facebook, he's like from Tennessee or someplace too, which I thought was peculiar.
	Fine.
	Oh yeah, we use it to share.
	Sharing is new.
	I'm sharing, yeah.
	Because I see something funny from a friend of mine.
	Sharing.
	And I can share it.
	All right.
	Okay, all right.
	So a number of people, a surprising amount of people thought that Ebola, I-B-O-L-A, that this is a great name.
	I don't think so.
	I don't think so either.
	And I retweeted that once.
	And I appreciate the guy put together a whole PDF about Ebola.
	But it's not funny.
	It doesn't really say anything.
	It's confusing with Ebola.
	Even though his definition of all the...
	No, I think the basis has an amusement factor.
	But it's too confusing.
	And it doesn't...
	People would be...
	It's also semi-quasi-sick.
	And I received a number of the same recommendations for another name, but it was this email that I want to share with you, and you tell me I may be off base, that sold me on the idea.
	Salutation, citizens.
	Listening to 651, I agree completely that the social media and gadget nexus the world is experiencing is an international health crisis.
	I observe the smartphone transformation with dread and revulsion and see now the possibility that these developments could be heralding a new kind of human.
	These devices are very likely the intermediate step between traditional human social experience and what can only be called a transhuman experience.
	May I reckon what I said?
	But I think it's true.
	Yeah, the transhumanist is actually a movement.
	Yes.
	There's a bunch of transhumanists out there.
	Yes, yes.
	This is why...
	I'd rather be a robot.
	Yeah.
	There's actually one guy that sounds like a robot.
	Isn't this the solidary, you know, what's it called?
	The...
	Singularity.
	Solidary.
	Same thing.
	Might I recommend the term I face as nickname for the disease?
	coined it.
	I've been using it to great success.
	It refers to the sort of typical slack-jawed, glazed, entranced, ghoulish, illuminated pallor that can be observed on victims regardless of age, sex, race, or nationality.
	You mention it like it's a cold or the mumps.
	You say, oh, he's got the eye face.
	Or, honey, you've got the eye face again.
	I thought that kind of did it for me.
	I I felt, yeah, you don't like it?
	No, not at all.
	No, because it doesn't have a right...
	To me, it doesn't sound right.
	It doesn't have a ring to it.
	Oh, you've got the eye face, or you have a case of eye face, or...
	Yeah, that's how you would use it, yes.
	I don't know.
	You don't like it?
	I don't like it at all.
	Okay, that's why I brought it up, and if you're not on board, the meeting adjourned.
	That would be that, yes.
	There's been a lot of stuff come through.
	None of it is just going, wow, that's it.
	That's what I want to hear.
	I want to get that effect.
	One of the symptoms I liked a lot You might think that those who use social media or constantly switch between work and websites are better at multitasking, but studies have found that when comparing heavy media users to others, they perform much worse during task switching tests.
	Increased multitasking online reduces your brain's ability to filter out interferences and can even make it harder for your brain to commit information to memory.
	Like when your phone buzzes in the middle of productive work.
	Or wait, did it even buzz?
	Phantom Vibration Syndrome is a relatively new psychological phenomenon where you think you felt your phone go off, but it didn't.
	Phantom Vibration Syndrome.
	Yeah, I've heard about that.
	I've had it happen to me.
	I had it too, of course.
	Yeah, it happens to everybody.
	You go, what is the thing vibrating?
	Particularly in the airport, when you're walking through the airport.
	Because you're doing something different.
	You're walking differently.
	That's okay, because Tim Cook spilled the beans, Tim Collins Cook, Tom, whatever his name is, Steve Cook, on the Charlie Rose Show.
	Far exceeded the hobby label that we placed on it.
	And we've added more and more con to it, our content to it.
	You added more con, believe me.
	Yeah, well that's what I think, when we began part of this interview, which I have a clip too, I thought this was a better clip because it has, to me, it's just, I just don't believe it.
	And this is Tim Cook on Backdoors.
	Yeah.
	Which, by the way, is just funny, just as a statement.
	Yes, it's very funny.
	For us, in the Snowden thing, just to go long on that for just a moment, is what we wanted was we wanted instantly to be totally transparent because there were rumors and things being written in the press that people had back doors to our servers and all this kind of stuff.
	None of that is true.
	Zero.
	We would never allow that to happen.
	They would have to cart us out in a box.
	Yeah.
	Well, you saw the new terms were released for iOS 8.
	I'm sure you read that.
	No.
	You probably haven't.
	Okay.
	No, I haven't.
	So they released the terms of obtaining information from Apple if you're a government agency?
	And very specific, it's the legal process guidelines.
	It's in the show notes, of course.
	I put it in there and highlighted some stuff.
	What they say is, as of iOS 8, everything on the device is encrypted.
	Apple does not have the key, and they can therefore not obtain any information on a locked device.
	If it's iOS 4, I think, through 7 or 3 through 7, then there's a couple of things that they can get off the phone, even if it is locked and that's specified.
	That was the quote-unquote backdoor that people are referring to.
	But specifically in this document, which doesn't mean that this is true.
	I mean, just words.
	Who knows what's really going on?
	They specifically state that Apple cannot, as of iOS 8, Apple cannot get into any pass-locked device.
	Apple will no longer be performing iOS data extractions.
	The data sought will be encrypted, and Apple will not possess the encryption key.
	So, they're trying to answer it.
	Yeah, it's not a bad thing.
	It's interesting, I guess.
	We were talking earlier in the show and I want to play this clip because it's another example of we had the police barracks.
	Tell me if you can spot the kind of military term used in a casual conversation here with some poor kid.
	This is a local news story.
	Some poor kid went on a field trip, and then they came back without him, and nobody noticed.
	And so the mom made a big fuss.
	Mom noticed?
	That's good.
	Yeah, she noticed.
	And the kid had to call her, and she had to go all the way to this place and pick him up.
	And everyone was very disappointed.
	And the principal, of course, they're already going to change this and that.
	But I just got a kick out of just some usage that's in this clip.
	And this is the kid left behind in field trips.
	When she came after a field trip and found he wasn't here.
	I wonder if it's another bus, because since I saw so many, no bus, and before I even think about it, he called me almost 3 o'clock and told me, Mom, can you pick me up?
	The school had taken its seniors to Waterworld and Concord for senior kickoff day.
	But when it was time to return, Patrick missed the buses, and no one noticed.
	They should have done a body count before leaving.
	The school principal says the count was done.
	Yeah, that's good practice.
	We need a body count.
	That's funny.
	I like that.
	Yeah, I use what?
	Body count.
	That's very good.
	That's very good.
	Let's just talk about Ebola for a moment.
	I have an Ebola clip.
	All right, but let's play your Ebola clip.
	Well, here's an interesting thing.
	You know, that doctor came back.
	This is one of those, you know, somebody just maybe, I don't know, maybe it's just me or maybe it's just a no-agenda thinking or whatever.
	But I get this sense.
	You're ruined.
	The famous doctor came back.
	He got cured.
	And, of course, now he's sending all his soldiers.
	But anyway, so he's back and he's discussing.
	This is...
	You'll pick up on this.
	This is the Ebola guy.
	Ebola Strins Query Leads to...
	I figured it out.
	Can an Ebola survivor become infected once again?
	No.
	Or are you immune then from Ebola?
	In theory, and I think in practice, I am immune to the strain of Ebola that I was infected with.
	But there are five different strains of Ebola.
	So if I went to the Democratic Republic of Congo...
	If I went to the Dominican Republic...
	I thought he said Democratic.
	No, he said the Dominican Republic.
	Well, he may be going there.
	Well, I'm just thinking, maybe there's a point, you know, we're dealing with this.
	On our show, we've discussed the possibility of dropping this baby over in India.
	Not yet.
	Not yet.
	John, the 3,000 troops, whoa, I mean, just stop everything.
	That's more money we're committing than to almost anything.
	Well, I think it's maybe to test the vaccine.
	You can stay with that.
	That's fine.
	I just want to point out that in the past...
	Three years, all of the new oil has been found in Western Africa.
	And I'm telling you, when you send combat troops over...
	Combat troops.
	I know it's hilarious.
	This is combat troops.
	Yeah, I know.
	We have a bunch of people that...
	No, no, this is...
	God has loaded with oil.
	We are invading on our terms.
	This is an invasion.
	First, here's the president with another fabulous word.
	It's not a mystery.
	We know the science.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	We know the science of Ebola.
	Shut up already.
	It's science.
	Shut up already.
	It's science.
	Shut up already.
	It's science.
	Ed, the Dr.
	Kiki disease is spreading.
	We know how to prevent it from spreading.
	We know how to care for those who contract it.
	We know that if we take the proper steps, we can save lives.
	But we have to act fast.
	Oh.
	We can't dawdle on this one.
	Don't dawdle.
	This is a good word.
	I like dawdle.
	Yeah, and it may be the first time.
	And it implies that we dawdle on things.
	You don't say that we shouldn't dawdle on this one unless it's obvious that we've been dawdled.
	Yeah.
	So this means push the money through.
	Whatever has to happen, don't dawdle.
	We have to move with force and make sure that we are catching this as best we can, given that it is already broken out in ways that we have not seen before.
	Okay.
	So, this is all lies.
	I'm sorry.
	This is lies.
	They're talking about...
	I see kids with signs in Africa.
	It might go airborne.
	This is all lies.
	It's all fear-mongering.
	Are there people dead?
	Yeah, I guess.
	I would love to see thousands of dead people from Ebola.
	I have yet to see those pictures.
	It's okay.
	I'll believe it.
	That we're now invading Western Africa with combat troops...
	Where all the oil is, where I'm sure regime change is coming, and if you were wondering about the troops we're sending to, I'm sorry, the advisors we're sending in a non-combat role into Iraq and the Levant, If you wonder if they're the top priority, no!
	They're not really the top priority.
	Well, Jeff, the president's visit to the CDC tomorrow underscores just how extraordinarily serious the administration believes this issue is.
	The president has identified it as a top national security priority.
	Top national security priority.
	Again, the A thing, John.
	And he looks forward to receiving an update from the experts at the CDC about the success of their efforts so far to try to confront this problem.
	As you know, this is one of the worst, if not the worst, outbreak of Ebola that we've ever seen.
	The CDC has responded commensurate with the seriousness of the situation.
	They have already deployed a number of personnel to the region.
	I think it's I'm looking through my notes here.
	About 100 of its workers to the region.
	This is, if not the largest, among the largest deployments of CDC personnel ever.
	The administration has already committed more than $100 million to address the Ebola outbreak.
	And this has taken a variety of forms, but it includes commitments from USAID, from the CDC, and others to try to meet some of these needs.
	We've also seen the Department of Defense step forward and make some commitments as it relates to the expertise they have when it comes to...
	Killing people.
	Logistics.
	This is all part of the whole government approach that the President has directed.
	That would be the Army Corps of Engineers who obviously do logistics, but...
	There's this guy, and there was a conversation.
	This is Scott Gottlieb.
	I've never heard of this guy before, but he is from the American Enterprise Institute.
	Famous, famous, famous...
	I would have to say this is a neocon outfit, would you not?
	It's the Koch brothers.
	Oh, it's even worse.
	It's the Koch brothers.
	There you go.
	Koch brothers!
	And he comes on and he talks about this Ebola thing like they've got it all figured out.
	Well, look, it's prudent.
	Whenever a guy starts like that, well, look, it's prudent.
	You might as well just say, everyone here, shut up.
	I'm talking now.
	Well, look, it's prudent.
	The first cases are going to show up in the U.S. in hospitals that probably see a lot of people coming over from the region, from the affected region.
	So hospitals like Elmhurst and Queens, I would suspect, are on alert right now, and it's prudent to forward deploy some resources and make those doctors aware of the signs and symptoms of infection.
	This is a guy from a think tank.
	We would just say, oh, it's clearly going to be showing up here.
	They are cranking this up, John, to some extreme level.
	And I really, I know that you're saying testing on the troops for the vaccine, but what a waste of a perfectly good crisis.
	No, no, you've got to send, you've got to take over these countries.
	Scott, you said that, though, as if it's a given.
	The first cases are going to arrive at these hospitals.
	You're assuming it will arrive on our shores?
	I think everyone now assumes we're going to see some cases here.
	I think we could even see some isolated, you know, clusters of infections, some small outbreaks.
	Ha ha!
	Clusters of infections, small outbreaks.
	Maybe close contacts, family members of the affected individuals who come over.
	I think we feel confident here that we can contain it, assuming that the virus itself doesn't migrate and change how it spreads.
	Change how it spreads?
	I don't like that.
	I don't like the sounds of that.
	This is weaponizing it into aerosol, isn't it?
	Yeah, once it goes aerosol, we're screwed.
	But isn't that the centrifuge?
	You've got to put the guy in the centrifuge?
	Well, I think the idea of centrifuge is I'm getting all the sweat or whatever it is.
	Sap, sap.
	You just put a sap.
	You want to de-sap the guy.
	You eviscerate him and then take all his bodily fluids and then you put it in one of those crop dusters and you just spray it over San Francisco and everybody gets Ebola.
	That would work.
	Can you do it after the weekend?
	I'm visiting.
	That's really the concern.
	Does this mutate and change into more easily?
	This is CNBC, by the way.
	They're talking to the financial markets with this bull crap.
	Right now, the U.S. What?
	Yeah, they have to.
	The government really is emphasizing this is not, they don't consider this a risk to the U.S. They're really trying to make that clear.
	But what's expected later today from President Obama when he goes to visit the CDC is expected to really ramp up the efforts in West Africa.
	They're getting the military involved now.
	They're going to send as many as 3,000...
	...to West Africa to set up joint command there from Monrovia, Liberia.
	So they're really, really drastically trying to ramp up the U.S. response.
	Are these military doctors they're sending?
	There'll be doctors, there'll be engineers, folks trying to be on the ground to set up these efforts.
	This is a total lie.
	You know, nothing.
	Just making it up.
	Totally.
	Oh, there'll be doctors, engineers, nurses.
	Radar, MASH Hospital.
	Oh, that's really quiz.
	Sending, you know, folks to train burial teams.
	Train burial teams.
	5,000 body bags to the WHO. Yeah, that's perfect.
	Death tolls about this woman.
	Oh, she's the resident doctor for CNBC, whoever they, Stringer, whoever they call.
	It's ridiculous.
	2,400, so they're expecting this to get worse.
	Excuse my ignorance on all of this, guys, but just look at a calendar.
	Are we a little late here?
	This has been going on for six weeks, if not more.
	Yeah, it's a huge criticism.
	Right.
	Well, we are late, but this is clearly a robust response.
	I think the one thing we should be concerned about is the response is very much focused on Liberia.
	At this point, we should be treating the entire region in Western Africa as one big region.
	Yeah, that's how you do it.
	One big region.
	Hot zone.
	The virus itself isn't going to respect national boundaries, so we need to be pulsing resources into other nations there as well.
	Pulsing resources into other nations as well.
	Who is this guy?
	That's the AEI guy.
	That's the think tank guy.
	Pulsing resources?
	I think he said pulsing, didn't he?
	Yeah, I think so.
	Listen to it again.
	So that's, when these guys say this, the AEI, they've got $45 million just sitting in the bank.
	This is a non-profit think tank, people.
	These people, they're movers and shakers who are part of this outfit.
	You should Google them, John, just to look at it.
	No, I'm very familiar with them.
	...ground to set up these efforts.
	And they're also sending folks to train burial teams.
	They've sent 5,000 body bags to the WHO.
	Right now, the death toll is about 2,400, so they're expecting this to get worse.
	Excuse my ignorance on all of us, guys, but just look at a calendar.
	Are we a little late here?
	This has been going on for six weeks, if not more.
	Yeah, it's a huge criticism.
	Right.
	We are late, but this is clearly a robust response.
	I think the one thing we should be concerned about is the response is very much focused on Liberia.
	At this point, we should be treating the entire region in Western Africa as one big hot zone.
	The virus itself isn't going to respect national boundaries, so we need to be pulsing resources into other nations there as well.
	So we're going to be sending our troops there, or troops of some sort there.
	It doesn't appear that the U.S. troops are going to be involved in trying to enforce any kind of quarantine.
	These really seem like medical resources.
	Why would it become airborne?
	This virus has been around forever.
	Right.
	Why would it all of a sudden become airborne?
	Well, because we need leverage.
	Well, it's sloppy in how it reproduces, so it creates an excessive number of mutations, and people have very high viral counts.
	This guy has a lot of information.
	It sounds like bullcrap, too.
	They have not been able to...
	If they got this thing to go airborne, which would take a lot of work, but it creates mutations much in the same way AIDS does.
	You can mutate your way out.
	And it can mutate itself into becoming airborne somehow, and then Africa's done.
	The American Enterprise Institute is governed by a board of trustees composed of...
	Then there's Tully Friedman.
	He's the CEO. He's from a law office.
	Daniel Daniello, vice chairman of...
	Co-founder of the Carlyle Group.
	That would do it.
	Let's see.
	Oh, the Honorable Dick Cheney is on the advisory board.
	These are the guys, you know.
	These are the people who...
	You know, Yale Law School.
	These are the Yalies, too.
	This is a lot of insider...
	Douchebags who make stuff happen and have a huge benefit to the companies they represent in other boards to have access to whatever we can get in West Africa.
	A person gets infected, they have a lot of errant sort of viral reproductions.
	So it's going to migrate, and it is mutating and migrating.
	It would be very unusual for a virus to mutate in a way that changes its mode of transmission.
	People are clearly concerned about that here, though.
	Just because of the scope of the infection, you're going to see a lot of migration of this virus.
	So we're going to spend $88 million.
	That's the number the president wants.
	We've already spent $175 million.
	He wants to add another $88 million, and the Pentagon wants to reallocate $500 million.
	Are any other countries doing anything else like this?
	They are.
	The EU, I think, has given $180 million or something like that.
	And just this morning, the WHO was commending China sending some resources.
	No, sorry, China.
	This is not your game.
	Go away, China, man.
	$180 million from the EU? For what?
	All I see is guys in yellow rain suits with Uvex ski goggles.
	Where's the money going?
	I don't know.
	Come on.
	This whole thing is very strange.
	It's bull.
	And you don't have to be worried about anyone being centrifuged and getting sick from it.
	This is...
	It's just more of the legal propaganda.
	It's legal now.
	Now they're just going all out.
	They don't care.
	And there's not a single journalist in the bunch who says, hold on a second.
	I find it maddening.
	You don't, I know.
	I find it more annoying than maddening.
	I got a couple of interesting off-the-wall stuff.
	Well, I do have a Guess the TV show.
	Oh, hmm.
	I don't think we have a...
	We have a movie sound effect, but we have this.
	And now it's time for another episode of Guess That Movie.
	So we'll just insert TV. Does it need to set up or go straight into the clip?
	I just ran into this out of the blue and I said, oh, this guy.
	This is an actor we miss.
	Oh, okay.
	Classic, classic clip.
	Then I shall guess the TV show.
	Let's go over a couple of points here.
	All right.
	What time did you say you left this kinks?
	I just told you.
	Tell us again.
	I told him I'd meet him at my car.
	What time did you tell him that?
	A little after nine.
	Pin it down.
	Around quarter after nine.
	You sure?
	I'm sure.
	You sure it wasn't six minutes after?
	It was 15 after.
	You told us before it was nine or six.
	Well, I could be wrong.
	Is this FBI?
	The series FBI?
	Play on.
	A dragnet.
	That's what it was called.
	Dragnet?
	Did I nail it?
	Dragnet?
	Yeah, and then you get to hear one of these little gems by Jack Webb.
	Jack Webb.
	Sure.
	Why do you keep pushing me?
	What's so special about nine lousy minutes?
	I'll tell you what's so special about those nine minutes.
	Tonight, at approximately 9.05, a liquor store was held up.
	That store is in the immediate vicinity of your undercover assignment.
	The joints you hit are located all around that store.
	The Red Fox, the Apex, Coolies, the Absolute.
	In order to hit those places, you had to walk directly past that liquor store twice tonight.
	One of those times, you could have entered the store, pulled the 211 at 9.06.
	We've got an eyeball witness that says you did.
	You could have walked one block, stashed the money along the way, and been there at your car when that black and white roll Nice.
	You can't, I mean, this guy would do these, he used to be in radio.
	Well, the voice is classic.
	Old radio stuff, the guy would do these rants.
	It's classic.
	And I don't know how he could talk that fast and be understandable.
	But anyway, you had a way.
	You got it!
	That's the first time ever.
	Well, but you're talking my culture.
	I'm a child of television.
	I thought you were long, born way after Dragnet.
	Yeah, but they were still on repeats when I was five.
	Pretty sure it was repeating.
	Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
	Anyway, yeah, Dragnet.
	All right.
	Well, that's it.
	We have a Senate race in Iowa, and this is the woman Joni Ernst and her commercial that's got a lot of attention.
	I'm Joni Ernst.
	I grew up castrating hogs on an Iowa farm.
	So when I get to Washington, I'll know how to cut pork.
	I'm good.
	I'm glad you gave that to us.
	Really needed that, and that was necessary.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Okay.
	Well, if you're going to keep stalling, I've got another one.
	I'm trying to seg into something that works, but your clothes are off the wall.
	Charlie Rose is running these, you know, he has to run his regular show, and then he has to get up at four in the morning to do that.
	CBS crap with jail.
	It looks like death warmed over.
	Just doing the morning show itself is tough, let alone then do his show.
	And does he also...
	What does on Bloomberg, is that a repeat or is it the same show?
	That's his show.
	They just run it on Bloomberg.
	But it's the same show.
	So he does that, which is an hour of interviewing, you know, people that need some prep, and then he has to get up at four in the morning to do this stupid show.
	So he reads right off the prompter what I consider to be one of the stupidest native advertising campaigns.
	It has to be.
	I can see no other reason to run this Starbucks commercial as a news item.
	USA Today says Starbucks is testing a Frappuccino Mini.
	It is a 10-ounce version, a famous blend of coffee, milk, and ice, and comes in many flavors.
	The Mini costs about 30 cents less than a 12-ounce and has fewer calories.
	Customers in Houston and Denver are testing the new size.
	If they like it, Starbucks could expand the Mini to other markets.
	And heads up!
	Well, of course it's an ad.
	Normally around this time of year, it's the pumpkin lattes are in.
	Whoa, everybody, let's look at this clip, this little package, the pumpkin latte.
	I was disgusted by that, by the way.
	Here's Charlie Rose.
	Yeah, that's horrible.
	He posted whatever, and he does this sort of thing, and it was just like, to me, it was like, wow, why don't you just sell out your family?
	Like Elgum?
	One more.
	No, no, I have to stop you now.
	I can keep going.
	No, I have to stop you.
	Naomi Klein.
	Oh, I hate Naomi Klein.
	You love Naomi Klein.
	No, I don't.
	No, not at all.
	Why do you put that on me?
	It's because I've heard you talk about her all the time.
	You always have kind of a sound in your voice.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Let me take a look at her again.
	Let me see, maybe there's something else.
	Maybe I'm missing something.
	Oh, yeah.
	I see what you're saying.
	Yeah, well, she has something very attractive.
	But at the same time, super annoying.
	Ah, yes.
	Which I think is, now she wrote No Logo, which was heralded as a groundbreaking book.
	Then The Shock Doctrine, which I thought was okay.
	It certainly explained a lot of how things work.
	Yeah.
	Now she's back with, I can't recall, what is the name of her new book?
	I have no idea.
	It's something about changing, this changes everything.
	Capitalism versus the climate.
	Oh no!
	Yeah, you really have to listen to this.
	Particularly because, I'm really sorry, but the science at this point really goes against what everyone is saying, and more and more mainstream...
	And publications are saying, well, the models have been wrong so far.
	And we have had a pause in the warming.
	But there is a faction, which includes Naomi Klein, whose book is timed poorly with the climate not cooperating, who just put, we have the Dutch saying, Bort for you, Kolp.
	They're the denialists.
	Yes, they are now, in fact, the denialists.
	And the problem is all of this was perfectly timed.
	We have Leonardo DiCaprio accepting his new United Nations perch.
	He has become the messenger of peace, he has.
	Leonardo DiCaprio has been tapped by the United Nations to be honored with the title of messenger of peace.
	Do you think there's any connection between DiCaprio getting that position and the marginalization of Clooney, including the marriage?
	Absolutely.
	Oh, yeah.
	And they are buddies slash rivals in general.
	Oh, yeah.
	This is a slap.
	It's a slap across the face.
	Clooney stopped playing ball.
	Yeah.
	Well, have you looked at her?
	She's a ball playing right there.
	We've discussed this woman.
	Okay.
	So he has asked the actor...
	To speak at the September 23rd climate summit, which is a disaster.
	Everyone is canceling.
	This is horrible.
	Merkel's not coming.
	No one's coming to this thing.
	Everybody is bowing out.
	And then they try and pull in like a Celebretti and they bring Leonardo in.
	Here I have the list of who's in and who's out.
	It is an embarrassment.
	And this is the thing that Al Gore was talking about when he was on the dais with Bunky Moon.
	We played those clips.
	For some reason, there was something funny that Bunky said then as well.
	I can't remember what it was.
	But it was like, ah, on the 23rd of September, big climate conference.
	Okay, here we have Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott can't make it.
	Sorry.
	And Australia is important in this.
	Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have indicated they probably won't attend the summit.
	Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has indicated he will not be attending.
	Angela Merkel, President of Uber Green Germany, will not be attending the UN Climate Summit.
	Of course, Al Gore will be there.
	I guarantee you Al Gore is going to be at the summit.
	And Leonardo DiCaprio.
	And Naomi Klein, who now I indeed agree is a denialist.
	The fact is, if we're going to respond to this crisis, we need to break a whole bunch of the free market rules that these guys hold very dear.
	These guys.
	I can only guess she means...
	Coke Brothers!
	But I'm not a free market crazy.
	Okay, these guys.
	We need to regulate.
	We need to get in the way of the fossil fuel companies who have made it clear that they're willing to dig up five times more carbon than our atmosphere can absorb and still...
	Have you heard this statistic?
	No.
	The fossil fuel guys who are willing to dig up five times more carbon than our atmosphere can handle...
	I have not found this, but I think this one's got legs if she keeps propagating it.
	I wonder where that came from.
	We'll figure it out.
	We're willing to dig up five times more carbon than our atmosphere can absorb and still stay below catastrophic warming.
	We need to invest heavily in the public sphere.
	Get ready for it.
	You're going to love it.
	If we invest heavily in this, if we just spend the money, John, What will the result be?
	The...
	Utopia?
	Yeah.
	We need to do that to protect ourselves from storms like Sandy, but also to lower our emissions so we don't have more and more such extreme storms.
	Now, I think...
	I do...
	I admit that I think that's good news.
	I think it'll create jobs.
	I think it'll create more livable cities.
	I think we'll have cleaner air.
	I think we'll have stronger communities if we respond to this crisis seriously.
	But I can understand why from a...
	I think unicorns might fly through the sky.
	Hardcore free market conservative perspective.
	If you live at the Cato Institute and the American Enterprise Institute, this would feel like the end of the world.
	It's not the end of the world.
	It's the end of their world.
	This is very sad.
	This is just sad.
	Wow, she's a lunatic.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I don't...
	I mean, over the years, you know, I've come to really kind of...
	Dislike her?
	She has a nice, you know, kind of a amenable look and style that you'd think, oh, you know, she must be reasonable.
	Right.
	But, you know, she's just a...
	I don't know what her problem...
	What it is.
	Amy Goodman, your buddy on Truthdig, she wrote this whole...
	Just another person...
	Who is an op-ed.
	She doesn't really come across as a journalist anymore.
	My buddy.
	Yeah, the climate crisis is worsening faster than predicted by every scientific measure and is paralleled by another crisis, the failure of the UN climate negotiation process.
	That's quite an opening statement.
	It's wild.
	Yeah.
	And the facts just state differently.
	That is the problem.
	It's very strange that this is going on to this extreme at this point in the debate, which is actually, you know, should be actually dying down, but it's not.
	Because these guys insist.
	They're all in on this.
	It's beyond them to think that maybe this is not what's going on.
	Yeah.
	And they live in this crazy dream world.
	Yeah, and...
	Actually think that when someone says, hey, here's what's really going on.
	And if you read the IPCC report, which is very complicated to read, but it's a political document.
	It's not a scientific document.
	It talks about the ranking system.
	Pretty much confident, we think so, a little bit, kind of.
	There's all this kind of language in there.
	And anything else is clearly Koch Brothers-funded propaganda, like this very podcast, as you know.
	The limo's coming in a moment.
	And so people like Amy Goodman, I think they just shut it off.
	They shut off all other...
	Anything else for...
	It's like Neil deGrasse Tyson.
	This is very interesting.
	The Wikipedia Nazis are cleaning up his...
	He has a lot of flubs that he...
	Make up, made up things.
	Fabricated quotes.
	That's what I'm looking for.
	And he does them in his...
	He does speeches.
	The guy probably makes 10, 15 grand just for a speech.
	Could be more, actually, at this point.
	Nah, he probably has $25,000.
	I think he has a 25 grand?
	Yeah.
	He goes around with his laptop.
	At least.
	And he has quotes up there, you know, like a senator.
	He says, I've flipped 360 degrees.
	You know, he's trying to make people look stupid.
	But then there's no one, actually, that you can attribute that quote to.
	You see, this is the problem.
	One of those deals.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I like that.
	It's very creative.
	Yeah.
	So...
	The audience of the stupid...
	Yeah.
	So here is another slide.
	Half the schools in the district are below average.
	And of course, that's hilarious, you know, when you're sitting in a room full of highly educated Obama bot elites.
	What moron Republican said that?
	And you actually can't find anybody who said that.
	Not a single person.
	So he's making this up, and then he says, well...
	They're ridiculing it.
	Yeah, but I embellish this.
	And then that's being put on Wikipedia, and then people are deleting that, you see, because they don't believe that one of their heroes could, you know, be, I don't know, human.
	What a fallacy.
	Oh, you mean people are busting him for these fake quotes and then the Wikipedia police are taking the busting him out?
	Correct.
	Sad, isn't it?
	Well, the global warming thing was noticeably...
	The Wikipedia folks, especially most of the people that are behind it, somewhere along the line, they will not let any contrarian information that...
	It says global warming is not occurring the way it's occurring with the responsibility of the humans, as it were.
	All that gets pulled from the Wikipedia.
	Yes.
	People have complained about this bitterly.
	People from, you know, legitimate...
	I think our report on the...
	Which we should probably package and run again on the 97% of everybody agrees, which is commonly quoted, should probably be turned...
	I hope our NoGen, the CD guy has done that for us.
	Aren't we going to write the article?
	Yes.
	When the power comes back on.
	The power's back on.
	When we have full power.
	Well, I sent you the last bit of analysis.
	You received that where someone did the actual numbers because part of it is there's like a...
	It was a statistical exercise.
	I'll have to resend it to you.
	Nothing's firing.
	Well, you noticed, but maybe you did.
	Yeah.
	Russia for a moment.
	Something very troubling happened in the Netherlands, and I'm sad I wasn't there to get more on-the-ground local reporting.
	Yeah.
	You will recall the story that I heard firsthand regarding the tomatoes that could no longer be exported to Russia from the Netherlands.
	Right.
	And there was one piece I believe I forgot to add to this.
	I'm not sure.
	I didn't go back and listen.
	But many farmers are receiving extra subsidy to compensate for the block on exporting to Russia.
	The tomato guys are not only receiving the EU, mind you, which is money that comes from the magic man.
	The EU is subsidizing these farmers while at the same time they are shipping their tomatoes to Turkey permanently.
	putting a Turkish, like a grown in Turkey sticker on them, and then they're flowing right into Russia anyway.
	Total scam.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, total scam.
	And don't do that to me.
	You can't do that to me.
	Total scam.
	Now they have this big tomato fight in Amsterdam to protest the Russian sanctions.
	So the tomato farmers sold 1,000 tomato-throwing tickets.
	They took these trucks to some square in Amsterdam, emptied them all out, and people were throwing tomatoes at each other.
	There's a place in Spain that does this routinely for decades.
	So there's a couple problems.
	One, it was sponsored by Siemens.
	Well, that's odd.
	Yes, it was sponsored by the Siemens washing machine.
	So there were people running around in Siemens t-shirts.
	Siemens is all happy on the social media.
	Oh, this will come right out in our washing machine.
	Oh, not necessarily.
	No, but this is happening.
	So they've been paid.
	They're selling the majority anyway, and then they're going and having this screw Russia, we hate you, throw tomatoes at each other, and the color of blood, and Putin.
	It's just, it's not okay.
	And throwing food like that is, I find, abhorrent regardless.
	I have a problem.
	That doesn't bother you, food fights?
	It's always bothered me.
	No, it's never bothered me.
	And people in the Netherlands, when you grow up in the Netherlands, and you grow up with a hunger winter as your history...
	Okay.
	When people ate rocks.
	Well, I'm sorry, not rocks.
	They had soup.
	They ate rocks.
	They put nettles and rocks into boiling water, and that was their food.
	What would the rocks provide?
	There's something about putting them in flavor.
	Flavor.
	Pure flavor.
	I don't know.
	Well, I want to do one more.
	I got a clip here.
	This one has a punchline.
	You know, sometimes we think of, as we do this show, we could be on the other side of the good.
	And I just want to see if there's a name that's dropped in this Uber story.
	This clip's a little long.
	But apparently Uber has decided to partner with, you know, the military.
	I get a bunch of veterans to drive the little cars around or the cars, the Uber cars, which are, you know, this whole Uber thing we need to explore at some point.
	I don't take them.
	Some fundamental thing is telling me not to do it.
	I'm not sure why yet.
	Well, I don't know either.
	I haven't taken one, but I'm not a bigot about it.
	I would take one if I needed to take something.
	Whatever the case is, tell me you don't find a peculiar name that crops up in this report just a little sketchy.
	...is still higher than 20%.
	That's three times the national average.
	Well, Uber is hoping to change that, and it's now enlisting some top military brass to help the company with its initiative.
	So shit, get something here.
	It's Travis Groff's first month as a driver for Uber.
	The 31-year-old military veteran spent seven years in the Air Force and was deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan.
	When he got out in September 2008, he says finding the right job was tough.
	I think veterans are well-suited for this type of work.
	Because we're service-based anyways, too, and we're offering a service to someone.
	We're helping them get from point A to point B, so it's kind of mission-oriented.
	Uber now wants to bring on 50,000 more veterans just like Groft by teaming up with Hiring Our Heroes, a non-profit veterans service organization.
	The idea isn't just to give veterans jobs, but to help Uber hire more quality drivers.
	The company's CEO, Travis Kalanick.
	The veterans that are already on the system provide such a high-quality experience, and they just have a better work ethic, and they're out there doing more trips than the average partner.
	You've looked at the data?
	Oh, yeah.
	We already have thousands of vets on the system today.
	He says Uber will take less commission from veterans and help them buy cars at better interest rates.
	The company is beefing up its pitch to veterans with an all-star volunteer military advisory board chaired by former defense secretary Robert Gates.
	Hello, Mr.
	Gates.
	Hello, Mr.
	Gates.
	Isn't he busy investigating the NFL? He has time for Uber in his busy day?
	Well, I don't know if he's investigating the NFL, too.
	Yes!
	Gates?
	Um, I'm sorry, Mueller is investigating the NFL. Yeah, that's Mueller.
	Mueller's the Facebook guy.
	Gates is the...
	Yeah, I'm sorry, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.
	And it's like, this is a form of corruption.
	You think?
	Plenty of reason not to use these guys.
	Well, it's definitely the guy you want if you want to get, you know, when the government starts cracking down on the, you know, you don't have insurance, you don't do this, you're not like a cab, you don't have license, we'll fix that for you.
	I don't understand the, I understand, cabs are crap, I totally agree.
	I'm just not totally all on board with the Uber thing.
	I don't know, I'm not sure what's wrong, what feels wrong about it to me.
	Well, it's the future.
	It's not going anywhere.
	No, it's not.
	Yes, it's the future.
	I agree.
	I agree.
	There's no doubt about that.
	It's not working that well in the Netherlands, I understand.
	Well, it's working pretty well.
	You know, the Americans go for this stuff a lot more than the Europeans.
	I don't think it'll never work in France because they will not let it happen.
	No.
	The French are tough.
	No.
	They don't put up with this kind of crap.
	In the Netherlands, I think it's because the cab drivers had already organized themselves.
	We've talked about this with cell phones and text messaging.
	They were so much more advanced.
	And that's really the only advantage that Uber has.
	You get something, you know where the guy is, he shows up.
	It just seems to work.
	If cabs actually worked, then it would be okay.
	But, you know, business needs to be disrupted.
	Just like we've disrupted radio.
	Just like we've disrupted the more units, more money for more units national public radio.
	We've disrupted them by taking away their lunch.
	Money.
	Milk money, maybe.
	Four pennies?
	A couple of cents.
	I'm going to show myself a little by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.
	It's weird doing the show so late.
	Yes.
	Well, also, yes.
	Yeah, it's very weird.
	So let's thank a few people who helped us.
	We buzzed ourselves for that one.
	You both said weird.
	You said weird too.
	But it is somewhat...
	It's odd.
	It's unusual.
	It's strange.
	Strange is the word I'm trying to use strange.
	It doesn't feel right.
	No, well, it's not right.
	It's like when we're traveling.
	No, traveling feels better.
	Olaf Johansson in Sweden.
	One, two, three, four, five.
	One of my favorite donation numbers.
	And by the way, it's catching on.
	And he says, he has a note.
	I want to read it.
	I've been a douchebag, blah, blah, blah.
	Karma.
	We're getting karma at the end.
	Okay.
	There was a ding there.
	I heard that.
	Sir Patrick Coble in Fairview, Tennessee.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	And he, of course, sent us some beautiful trophies.
	It's been a while.
	I just wanted to make sure my birthday, 7th anniversary Christmas presents survived the trip to you both.
	You guys have deserved a podcast award since 2010 and haven't been given one, so I guess I'm bestowing you with an award.
	Just like Adam and the No Agenda show knighted me and the Hot Pockets Tour in Nashville, Tennessee with drumsticks, apparently.
	Yeah, I remember.
	And since he sent us the award and everything, and we'll combine his with Olaf's, which is, you might as well give him the karma from here.
	Happy to do that.
	You've got karma.
	And that was a lot of work to make.
	That award's a handmade.
	Corwin Underwood, 12345 in Hamilton, Ohio.
	My favorite donation.
	Yes, sir.
	He'd like to call and make a douchebag call out to his brother, Mike Underwood.
	Douchebag!
	Hit him in the mouth a few months ago and he himself has still not donated to the show.
	Kevin Hine in Auckland, New Zealand.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	Wow.
	That's good.

	Too long, no donation, he says, and so he's regretful.
	Ciro Piccarillo, 7777 in Hendersonville, North Carolina.
	Anonymous in Colorado Springs, Colorado, 7777.
	I carped about the 77, not getting enough of these.
	It worked.
	In the newsletter.
	Yeah, we got a few.
	Herbert Harms in Durham, North Carolina.
	Dr.
	Sharkey, our buddy in Jackson, Tennessee, 7777.
	He's got something going on.
	Read that.
	It puts him into the next level of peerage.
	He's moved up.
	Yes.
	Let's see.
	To show my extreme humility and if it's agreeable to the peerage committee and the Grand Dukes, I'd like to be known as Sir Dr.
	Sharkey Earl of Grantham and FEMA Region 4.
	You are all invited to stay at Downton Abbey over the winter solstice holiday celebration.
	Okay.
	Lovely.
	And send some karma to Scotland.
	So I think we should do that.
	If he's entered the peerage, he needs that.
	Up the peerage.
	You've got karma.
	Definitely.
	Lugazua in München, Deutschland.
	You are.
	Um...
	And he's got a birthday coming up.
	Doug Moser in Florissant, Missouri, 7777.
	Arthur Gobitz, Gobitz, Gobitz in Zandam.
	Yeah, very good.
	Netherlands.
	Arthur Gobitz, Gobitz.
	I don't know.
	I would say Arthur.
	Uh-uh.
	I'm waiting.
	I'm waiting.
	I'm sorry.
	It's not that simple when...
	I'm sorry.
	I had a small...
	I don't know if this is it.
	What is this?
	And in the red corner.
	There it is.
	Wearing the black trunks with gold trim.
	He has a record of 33 wins, zero losses, and one draw.
	He's the grand user of Belgium and France.
	Sir!
	Steven Montel Sack sevens, he says.
	So...
	In anticipation of the BPITU 7th anniversary.
	Best podcast in the universe, BPITU. LH2Y is already here to see the support levels are low.
	I tried to do my best.
	TYFYC sent from his PayPal mobile application.
	You have the window open again.
	Hi, it's funny.
	It's strange to me that you can hear that.
	Yes, it is extremely crappy, this weather.
	Sorry, it's okay.
	We're okay with the sound for you.
	CSS Computer Solutions and Services.
	Back with 7777.

	Wayne Larcombe in Sunnybank Hills, Queensland, Australia.

	And that closes our 77-77 segment.
	Sir Rick, our buddy Sir Rick there, 69, I like to call him Raimondo, 69-33 from Arlington, Washington.
	Sir, I'm sorry, Michael Henderson, Norcross, Georgia, 66-33.
	Antonia Crane in Los Angeles.
	This is Antonia who said I was sexist.
	Oh, she's the one who said you're sexist?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, she's in.
	She's upped her game, I know.
	Yeah, she's in with 6608.
	She says, no karma.
	I'm so tired of the karma.
	Okay.
	Is that what she says?
	Yeah.
	Well, that's no good.
	If she wants to shun the karma, that's okay.
	It doesn't make no sense to me.
	Samuel Lichtenstein.
	I think she has a crush on you.
	Yeah, I think so.
	Obviously.
	Samuel Lichtenstein in New York City.
	How sexist was that?
	It was pretty bad.

	I guess it's because of the Scott vote.
	Yep.
	We're supporting the show.
	Yes, we really appreciate that.
	Also, everyone who came in under $50 for anonymity purposes or you're on one of our longer layaway programs or one of the other regular donations.
	Thank you very much.
	Really appreciate it.
	We'll have another show on Sunday.
	Traveling, but it will be different because John and I will have seen each other in person.
	Yeah.
	I believe, and we may even take a picture.
	Selfie.
	No, no, no.
	No pictures.
	No pictures.
	Please help us for that program as well as we'll be doing a lot more of our analysis under our value for value proposition.
	Dvorak.org slash NK.
	Well, quite short and sweet, Lucas Zivas says happy birthday to his wife.
	That's all I've got, but we are very happy to congratulate you from all your friends here at the best podcast in the universe.
	And then we have our instantite, John, which is Terry Gore, TG. So if you could...

	Thank you for the support.
	Really cool.
	Especially in these last days of summer when it's a little...
	I have a report.
	Ah, could this possibly be?
	The report which we put under our...
	And now, back to real news.
	Yes, it is.
	I watched the Miss America pageant.
	This is very important for people who are new to the program.
	And to everyone overseas.
	Yes.
	Whenever there is a beauty pageant, John jumps on the grenade, watches that for the team, reports back.
	Yes.
	As we analyze these contests...
	Which, I'm still amazed that the feminists of the world allow this to happen.
	This pure, just putting women up as pretty objects.
	Is this the one where they can do boob implants and stuff?
	No, this is the Miss America.
	This is the one where it has to be honest and they have to have talent.
	One of them was a ventriloquist, and it was quite funny.
	One of them was an opera singer, Miss Virginia, and she got in the top five.
	The winner was Miss New York City.
	Again, right?
	Isn't that a...
	Third in a row.
	This Miss New York, though, is from, let's see, I could go over there in 15 minutes, Walnut Creek, California.
	She's not from New York at all.
	She's a local girl.
	She's got California in her blood.
	Miss California she should have been, but obviously she did some singing.
	Is she on Broadway?
	Is she off-Broadway?
	She's a Broadway-style singer, only she sings a little more like a black girl.
	Okay.
	She has a very...
	I like her singing.
	I thought it was very good.
	But she came right after an excellent performance from Virginia who did an operatic thing.
	And then this girl comes out.
	She sits down on the stage with a cup and plays the cup while singing.
	This is like a YouTube video.
	It's very much YouTube.
	It's what these kids do.
	These girls on YouTube do that cup thing while they're singing.
	She's doing the cup thing.
	And her parents are in the audience with the cups.
	And that one...
	Yes, I did.
	I have her singing.
	As Kira's singing, you should just listen to a couple notes.
	She actually has a very pleasant voice, and she's very charming as a singer because she mugs in a very flirtatious way when she's singing.
	You'd have to see that.
	Sure.
	Sounds great.
	Singing Pharrell's Happy, here is Kira Kazantzouf, Miss New Year.
	I would have shot myself right here.
	Like, just shoot me.
	Oh, John's very black.
	Very Aretha.
	Yes.
	Good way.
	Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.
	With the air like I don't care, baby, by the way.
	Hey.
	Okay, you can kill her.
	What did Simon Cowell think of her?
	Okay.
	How about Howard Stern?
	What did he think of her?
	She sounded very black and she's a blondie that's a real cutie.
	She looks like a cheerleader.
	Anyway, she won the whole thing.
	Can I ask you a question?
	I have a question.
	Do you still have to be hot to win this, or is that not necessary?
	They're all hot.
	This is what I want to talk about.
	This competition has changed drastically.
	Oh.
	And at the very end, it was like, what are we looking at here?
	Two blondes, first and second, standing there holding hands and waiting to see who wins, and they're both hot blondes.
	The swimsuit thing was out of control.
	All the girls were pretty.
	It was like somebody came in and said, look, We've got to change our image here.
	And they brought all these...
	It was like...
	It was ridiculous.
	It was Miss World style.
	So that took me aback.
	The second thing that got my attention...
	Who produced this thing?
	Who produced the television event?
	But it was well produced.
	Hmm.
	It was an extreme change.
	I was stunned.
	Because usually with Miss America, I'm always going, yeah, they picked the wrong girl.
	There's a screw up.
	It should be this.
	No, this girl is going to be a great...
	But you can see that this is a stepping stone for her to be on television as an anchorwoman or something.
	Or a Broadway star.
	Who knows?
	It's beside the point.
	But what was interesting were the questions at the end.
	This was the biggest crock ever.
	For one thing, the questions were all contemporary questions.
	I don't care what anybody says.
	These answers were rehearsed.
	And they each had a 20-second clock.
	Wait a minute.
	You're telling me this is rigged?
	They had a 20-second clock, so they had to give their answers within the 20 seconds.
	So this thing went really fast.
	Nobody really screwed it up.
	One girl, I think, made a little mistake.
	But some examples here.
	These are pretty quick.
	This is the best one.
	I'm just going to play it first.
	I just need to interject for one moment.
	The final competition, the score, is based upon 20% lifestyle and fitness in swimsuit.
	Evening wear is 20%.
	Talent is 30%.
	And the composite score, whatever that is, is 30%.
	And then I guess the top, the onstage question is what would, there's no real percentage as to how much that's worth.
	Well, it's not worth anything.
	Yeah.
	Makes sense.
	There was nothing to it.
	They were all crap questions.
	They were all about current events.
	In fact, I'll start with question number one for Miss Arkansas.
	Tell me this is not, this is like, it just makes a stomach turn.
	Good luck.
	The first question goes to Miss Arkansas.
	Aston Campbell.
	Aston, come on over.
	Come on, everyone.
	Reach in there.
	I'm sorry?
	You're going to groan.
	I'm sure.
	This question will come from Sean Johnson.
	Who's Sean Johnson?
	I don't know.
	Three weeks ago, a nine-year-old accidentally killed her shooting instructor while firing a military machine gun.
	Should there be any limits on the use of guns by children?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	She's going to have to say, I believe in the Second Amendment.
	Oh, you got it nailed.
	This is a rehearsed, perfect answer.
	Although I believe in the Second Amendment, I think we do need to have responsibilities that are...
	I'm looking for the Sean girl.
	Absolutely.
	I think that it's important to protect our second amendment rights to bear arms.
	I think that that is a right that we have as Americans.
	However, I do think that there needs to be restrictions, especially for children.
	Children don't need to know what it feels like to hold a gun of that caliber.
	I'm sorry.
	An Uzi is a very small caliber.
	It has very little kick.
	This is not a shotgun gun.
	It was an unsafe situation.
	That's what it was.
	And they especially don't need to be put into a situation where they could end another person's life because of that carelessness.
	She was reading the prompter.
	She flubbed the prompter.
	It's on the prompter.
	It must be.
	She says, I'm sorry, and then she picks it up.
	Come on.
	That was a read.
	That was a read.
	These are all reads.
	Go to number two.
	Who's number two?
	Florida.
	Florida.
	Okay.
	I'll see if I can answer the question.
	Number two of five goes to Miss Florida.
	Victoria Cohen.
	Come on over here, Victoria.
	Victoria Cohen?
	A Jewess?
	No, she was another blonde.
	Victoria.
	Victoria's question will come from Kathy Ireland.
	Kathy Ireland.
	We were all rocked by the video of football star Ray Rice punching his wife Janae.
	She's standing by him.
	As a woman, what do you think of her decision?
	Ah, okay.
	Actually, I like this new segment of the show.
	This will be, because now these things are so rigged, this will be the no agenda answers to these questions.
	Go.
	Okay.
	While I believe in the Second Amendment...
	No, no, come on.
	Okay, let me just back it up just so we can get the whole picture.
	If Janae, she's standing by him.
	As a woman, what do you think of her decision?
	I feel that there is never any room for physical violence in any relationship, but I also believe in the sanctity of marriage and standing by your man.
	Okay, no.
	I would say that was, that would not be, it's close, but not right.
	I know that's a very hard decision, but me personally, I don't agree with it.
	My platform is one chance, one choice, and I talk all about it.
	Oh, she had a platform.
	Hey, come on, this is bogus.
	I didn't know she had a platform.
	Totally bogus.
	She had a platform, and she got the platform question.
	Right decisions, and I don't feel that he did that.
	What?
	What's the name of her platform?
	This is pissing me off.
	She said it earlier.
	I want to hear it.
	I want to hear it.
	Hold on.
	I agree with it.
	My platform is One Chance, One Choice, and I talk all about the right decisions, and I don't feel that he did that, and I don't necessarily believe that he deserves a second chance.
	Okay, so what I would have said if I was Miss Florida, first of all, I would have said, bitches, look at me.
	That's what I would have said for Kathy Ireland.
	Remember when you were like me?
	And then I would say, cold cock that mofo and throw him in jail, is what I would say.
	Okay.
	That's a reasonable thing to say.
	That's not going to happen on these shows, but that would be a good thing to say.
	Now we have the winner, Miss New York.
	And I think that this question is kind of convoluted, and she answers again another...
	We'll hear the question, and we'll attempt to answer it.
	Does she have a platform I should be aware of?
	No, no, she's just a singer.
	Now, come forward and answer the third question, Miss New York.
	I'm shooing!
	Right in there.
	Just pick a different one.
	There you go.
	What was that all about?
	She's got her hand and they had a conch shell.
	Is it not conch?
	And they had all these little balls in there and she got her hand stuck in there trying to grab one of the balls.
	Like a monkey.
	Yeah.
	You're trying to grab peanuts out of the jar.
	Yeah, that's pretty much it.
	Isn't that a conch shell?
	That's what I've always learned.
	Conch?
	It's conch?
	Conch.
	There you go.
	Miss New York's question will come from Lee Merriweather.
	Lee Merriweather.
	There are a record 20 women serving in the Senate.
	What is one specific issue where these women leaders should challenge the male majority and take the lead?
	Let me think.
	I would have to say this would be about your own body and about birth control and being able to have access to birth control and anticonception.
	And I should also be able to access abortion clinics.
	That was a complete miss.
	Wow!
	Yeah, a complete miss.
	It's a related answer, but it's not that answer at all.
	Wow!
	And she actually, I thought she presented it very poorly, and I think she probably, if it was based on these questions, she wouldn't have won.
	Hold on a second.
	Do you mind if I just, can I do over?
	You can do over, because you'll never get it.
	So it's clearly about how men are a-holes towards women, and it's something that women should be legislating on.
	So it has to do either with...
	Usually it's about their body.
	Is it about the body?
	You're not even...
	What?
	You're generalized close, but you're not going to get it.
	You're not going to get it.
	I can just assure you, when you hear it, you're going to go, oh, I would have never got it.
	I'll give up.
	I really believe that sexual assault in our military is an issue that these women have gone to fight for.
	And every single woman that fights in our military deserves the right to be safe and to be happy and to be respected by those she serves with.
	So those women should go to fight, and they are, and I'm so proud to be one of their constituents.
	No, I would not have guessed that one.
	No, I knew that.
	That was a Claire Underwood platform.
	It was a total off-the-wall thing.
	Now, I only have one more.
	The fifth one was essentially...
	Why?
	Wasn't that...
	Essentially.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	A weak word to use in casual conversation.
	There was a substitute I'm supposed to use?
	Just no need to use it at all.
	It's a weakness word to tell me.
	It's three to one and a half.
	I'm not counting the other weird as a whole, because you said it simultaneous with me.
	So it's one and a half to three.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Final one.
	This is the final one I'm going to run, because the other one was, it was a good, the girl was pretty, and it was a good answer and everything, but it wasn't that interesting.
	This one here would be a good challenge for you, and this is Virginia.
	I kind of cut out the beginning.
	Just go right to the question.
	From Brigadier General Ann McDonald.
	Who's Brigadier General Ann McDonald?
	One of the judges.
	Uh-huh.
	The savagery of the ISIS threat to our security was demonstrated by the gruesome videos of two journalists and an aid worker being beheaded.
	What should our country's response be?
	Ah, hold on a second.
	Now, there's a couple things wrong with this.
	What, besides the lies about the beheading?
	Yes, let's listen to it again.
	I think you had the wrong version of the question.
	Here it is again.
	The savagery of the ISIS threat to our security was demonstrated by the gruesome videos of two journalists and an aid worker being beheaded.
	What should our country's response be?
	Okay.
	I believe our country's response is Brigadier J. So she's a military person asking a military question?
	A female military person as a judge in Miss America competition asking a military question.
	First woman of West Point is who she is.
	Wow.
	Good score.
	Did you get per diem on that, Anne?
	Disgusting.
	She's retired, so she can do whatever she wants.
	Well, in this case, obviously, the answer must be we should degrade and destroy ISIL. Did she say ISIS or ISIL? Ooh.
	I think she said ISIS. We need to go back and listen again.
	I'm Brigadier General Anne McDonald.
	The savagery of the ISIS threat to our security was demonstrated by the gruesome videos of two journalists and an aid worker being beheaded.
	And can I, before we go to the answer...
	I just wanted to run the saw again.
	Yes, before we go to the answer, may I opt for a new phrase?
	Decolate.
	What does that mean?
	D-E-C-O-L-L-A-T-E. Does that mean beheading?
	Yes!
	You can use decapitate.
	That's what I like.
	Behead.
	I like decapitate, too.
	But decolate is like decolor.
	It has something nice about it.
	No, it sounds too pleasant.
	We shall use decapitate.
	But that's what we used to use.
	Yeah.
	So I think the answer should be...
	Decolate specifically needs to behead someone.
	And don't forget, there's a Virginia girl, so she's going to be connected to the right answer.
	Well, the only answer can be that yes, we need to act out of humanitarian, but we should do this with partners.
	And to give our guidance and support and advisory role and air power to blow them out and freak out of the sand.
	What should our...
	What?
	I would say, let me score you.
	I would say that that would be passing.
	I think that you got that.
	Passing grade.
	Thank you.
	What should our country's response be?
	This is an absolute outrage and something definitely needs to be done, but I don't think America needs to be the only one to do it.
	I really think it's important for the world, for the UN to come together and decide what's the best thing united that we can do to really come together as a bigger and more impactful source to end this horrid, horrid thing that's happening.
	I think that was essentially what you said.
	Oh, and you said it again.
	It's just so unnecessary for you to do this.
	Wow.
	Yeah, it's your...
	If I get to five, I'm just hanging up.
	Just leave.
	Just get out of here.
	Okay.
	Well, does that wrap up the report?
	That pretty much wraps up the report.
	I have to say the show's improved, it's better produced, and all the rest of it.
	Now, since we're still on the segment that is real news, or are we?
	Did we go to real news?
	Yeah, we played the real news hours ago.
	Well, I want to do one more real news story about a show...
	And now, back to Real News.
	Back to Real News.
	Probably the most, I think it's somewhat of an extremely offensive show called The Real, and it just came up.
	It's one of these, there's a bunch of these shows out, they all are, I'd say, clones of The View, where you have a bunch of women sitting around, bitching and moaning about stuff and doing this and that.
	This one here is extremely offensive because it's a bunch of, and Mimi's the one who, we're watching this, and she's the one who calls it just the skanks.
	What?
	There are five skanks.
	Hold on a minute.
	TheReal.com.
	And so your wife calls them skanks.
	Not you, but your wife, who is being sexist by saying this.
	Well, I don't know if she's sexist.
	She's maybe objective.
	And I might point out these are all women of color.
	All women of color and they're mixed color.
	Except for the one in the middle.
	There's one in the middle that's a big fat black woman.
	Isn't that Star Jones?
	Isn't that Star Jones?
	I don't know who that is.
	I don't think so.
	Whatever it is, she tries to be funny and she keeps mugging at the camera.
	Then to her right is a Latino girl or Latina.
	And then further over is a...
	Black woman who has blonde hair, usually.
	Okay, hold on.
	So we have Tamar Braxton, who is, I think, Tony Braxton's sister.
	We have Lonnie Love.
	I believe she's a comedian.
	She's the one that you say is the large black woman.
	Then we have Janine May.
	I don't know her.
	She is a Korean-Japanese-looking woman.
	She's the multi-culti girl of the future.
	Looking good.
	I like that look.
	And there's another one that is multi-culti that I can't figure out anything about her.
	I can't tell.
	Adrienne Balon?
	I don't know.
	She's on the end.
	Whatever the case is, let's play a little bit.
	And you have to play this to the end because there's a little usage at the end.
	There's a word they drop in there, which is just the eye roller.
	They have a segment where they eat food.
	And they steal food from each other, and they throw it at everything but throwing it at each other.
	And they have opinions about this junk food that they eat on the show.
	And tell me that this is not a show that is a negative impact on the American, I think...
	Woman.
	Woman.
	An American woman.
	And here's the really weird part.
	Oh my goodness, it's just, it doesn't stop today.
	That's a two right there.
	I know, I call myself saying it too, and I'm just at the end.
	One and a half to four.
	So the strange part is this show is extremely well produced.
	I mean, it makes all those other shows look sick in terms of production value.
	It is slick.
	I'm seeing them in all costume changes.
	I'm seeing all kinds of expensive things.
	It's a slick, slick show.
	Here's what it is.
	If you're going to indulge, do it right.
	Bad foods don't have to be a guilty pleasure anymore.
	Time to eat, ladies.
	Yes!
	First up is me.
	First we have a southern banana pudding.
	It's banana ice cream swirl with banana pudding and a vanilla wafer.
	Crust crumble.
	Lord, yes!
	Can I eat it?
	Wheezy from the Jeffersons apparently is on the show.
	Wow, this is pretty intense.
	Fox is syndicated.
	This is what I'm talking about.
	Oh my god, this is amazing!
	It's got a little ice cream, so it gives you that little flavor.
	Right here, honey?
	It's a chocolate-covered potato chip.
	What's that?
	Let me tell you something.
	I am a fool for a chip.
	Can you pass it around, please?
	Oh, this is heavy.
	I want to try.
	I want to try.
	I'm into that savory and sweet type of thing, and I love this new trend where lots of salty things are being coated with sweets.
	Take one.
	Take one.
	You get the sweet with the salt at the same time.
	That tastes like a real good man right there, baby.
	Lay it out.
	That is delicious.
	Okay, what else we got?
	Because what's this right here?
	I need to know what that is right now.
	That was just a fellatio joke.
	I'm sorry.
	I just have to call it as I see it, if you don't mind.
	Yeah, no, it's sick.
	Well, I don't know if it's sick, but it's just...
	Sick.
	That is delicious.
	Okay, what else we got?
	Because what's this right here?
	I need to know what that is right now.
	Oh, this is a vanilla cupcake.
	It's infused with maple syrup, and the vanilla icing has maple syrup, and on top of it is a nice waffle and a chicken McNugget.
	Thank you.
	It's like a chicken and waffle cupcake.
	This is like Jesus.
	I know.
	What'd she say?
	I had something about Jesus for blacks or something.
	It was some racist remark.
	I couldn't isolate.
	Chicken and waffle cupcake.
	This is like Jesus.
	I know.
	Like Jesus sent this to the black people?
	Yes, I'm like that.
	He made that in his kitchen, man.
	I mean, he came back in full form, and this is it right there.
	This is amazing.
	This is amazeballs.
	Oh, God, amazeballs.
	Really, you made me sit through a minute and 47 seconds to hear the word amazeballs.
	I never heard it on TV before.
	There's a commercial that they talk about amazeballs.
	Well, this is very disappointing.
	This is the bottom of the barrel for the American people.
	Yeah, it's very disappointing that people take time out of their day to write to me and say that I am sexist, when this crap, just preying on women, preying on black women, I don't know, whatever, fine.
	Yeah, I found it totally important.
	Like them on Facebook is what I'd say.
	You should go right away and like them on Facebook.
	I will be traveling tomorrow.
	Here's an experiment I can give a try.
	You might want to leave your cologne at home the next time you take a flight.
	At least that's what a Massachusetts man says after his run-in with TSA. Gene Ocean says agents pulled him into a separate room for additional screening when he tested positive for explosive chemicals.
	TSA released a statement saying their technology is very sensitive, and because of this, on occasion, commonly used items, like cologne, can set off alarms.
	So that fragrance is one of them.
	And that is the Bleu de Chanel, in case you wanted to give it a try, that set it off.
	Bleu, as in blow up.
	Yeah, spelled in the French way.
	B-L-E-U. B-L-E-U, exactly.
	So just a little bit.
	Where two plus three is approximately four in the common core In the Common Core, Adam, ITM, wanted to share with you what my local public school district is doing to introduce social network and smartphone addiction as early as possible.
	My daughter is in second grade, and the teacher uses an app called Class Dojo to monitor and rate the behavior of each kid during the day.
	The parents can install this app on their smartphones and in real time can see how their kid's behavior is.
	My daughter's teacher only updates the app at the end of the day, but many parents were saying their kids' teachers were updating it constantly rather than teaching, I guess.
	I heard one mom say, I'm constantly checking the app to see how he's doing during the day.
	The app also makes a noise when a negative dojo point is given, because I've been hearing it distracts the kids because they're all wondering who got the downvote.
	So imagine the kids are sitting in the class...
	And these are second graders?
	Yeah, second graders.
	Of course, they all have a smartphone because might as well get the slave device on them soon, early in life.
	And then they hear, I need to find out what this sound is when you get a bad dojo.
	And they're like, oh man.
	This isn't really a Common Core thing.
	I believe it is related to Common Core.
	This is a lot of this...
	Okay.
	Well, I mean, yeah.
	That's a stretch.
	Well, look at the Dojo app website.
	And you tell me where you think their funding's coming from.
	I have a little bit of their commercial if you want to hear the little Dojo thing.
	Yeah, play that while I'm looking it up.
	That's kind of thing.
	It's under...
	I think it's...
	What's the word?
	Hey!
	Welcome to Class Dojo.
	No, never mind.
	Class Dojo is a tool that makes your classroom more fun.
	And it helps you become a better student, too.
	Your teacher will set up Class Dojo and make a list of actions to try to do this year, like participating, helping others...
	It's a classdojo.com.
	Yeah, I'm there.
	...and staying on task.
	When your teacher notices that you're doing these actions, you'll receive dojo points.
	Okay, this is just stupid.
	This is an insult to the American educational system.
	And look at all the backers.
	NBC. Thank you.
	TechCrunch.
	NBC News Education Nation.
	The Huffington Post.
	Today Show.
	They've all featured it.
	They've all featured it, I guess.
	Wired.
	NPR, of course.
	Yeah, they think this is great.
	Crap.
	I think it's great.
	60 seconds.
	Kristen uses Class Dojo to message her class's parents.
	This is like intimidation.
	This is like Hogan's Heroes.
	You're not going to be sent to the Russian front.
	Yeah, if you don't watch it.
	Look at their blog, blog.classdojo.com.
	Okay, maybe it's not specifically Common Core related, but it is part of the whole idea of tracking your kid, storing this information, points, dojo points for being a good doobie, or what a good dojo.
	A do-doobie?
	Don't you remember Romper Room?
	No, they didn't use doobie?
	Yeah, they did.
	You were a good doobie.
	And I never watched Romper Room.
	Well, it was my generation.
	Yeah.
	Class Dojo.
	Back to Class Dojo.
	This web thing doesn't even come up.
	Engage students with the help of your interactive whiteboard.

	Okay, just a bunch of personal anecdotes.
	Never give up on parent engagement.
	The evolution of EdCamps.
	But John, we're giving second graders smartphones so they can track their dojo points and your parents are hooked into it.
	This can't be good.
	This whole thing just can't be good.
	No, of course not.
	None of this is good.
	Okay.
	Oh, there's a good post.
	Avoiding the pitfalls of popular technology.
	Ha ha ha.
	This was written by Kelly Connelly Hickey, a class dojo thought partner.
	You know, I think we could look at each other as thought partners.
	I think we could get a gig that way.
	Set your year up for success.
	Start communicating now.
	And it's got some guy talking on whatever that thing is on the Mac FaceTime or whatever it is.
	Alright.
	I only have two more things.
	You got anything left?
	I got one more thing because I thought it was stupid.
	Who decides to make the statement about Fox News being the progenitor of all evil.
	And then he says something that it was just like, I'm going to ask you about this after this is after this clip is done.
	And we always have the polarization in Washington.
	I wonder if people always talk about Washington, the politicians can't get along.
	I think maybe it's that the people are polarized and the politicians just reflect that.
	And I feel like the reason the people are so polarized is Fox News.
	I think of all the things that changed...
	In America, Fox News changed the most.
	It used to be the John Birch Society came to your door once a year.
	Now they're in your TV, in your living room.
	Hmm.
	Now I'm going to ask you this.
	Okay.
	When did the John Birch Society come to your door once a year?
	I certainly don't recall that, ever.
	I was around an area where there's a big Birch operation.
	I've never seen a John Birch Society guy come to my door.
	I guess he's trying to, maybe he's confusing it with...
	The Seventh Day Adventists?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Witnesses or something?
	Joe was a witness, perhaps?
	Mormons?
	I also have to disagree vehemently with Mr.
	Marr.
	Oh, I jumped on him.
	I'm sorry?
	In fact, they had Haley Barber on the show, who's a funny guy, and he says, I think this show here's got more divisive stuff than Fox News.
	Well, I will take it one step further, and I had not, I'd considered not playing this clip, because it just goes on and on and on, but we can stop it whenever you want, and I'll just play this as the last one, I'll keep the other stuff for Sunday.
	This is Rachel Maddow, who on the fly, I presume, or I assume, was told that they had the, we've got it, Rachel, we've got the latest ISIS propaganda trailer video.
	Now, have you heard of this?
	No.
	This is all new to me.
	Okay, it's called The Flames of War, and it's about a minute and a half, and really what you're seeing is a groovy title card, kind of like Like the wrestling guys, kind of their title card was really big.
	Flames of war.
	And then they've taken high-speed camera, which you can do with a number of different consumer-based devices, and created...
	It may not even be that.
	It could just be a great Final Cut Pro X effect.
	I'm not sure.
	But they've really slow-mo'd stuff down.
	And then you see, you know, American Tank blow up.
	And it's really nothing other than, well...
	Rachel Maddow, which I believe is the true propaganda, and I don't know what happened to her if they implanted the chip.
	This woman is, I'm just going to say it, fucking nuts.
	And there are so many women I know who watch her and adore her and think she is the cat's meow and that she is the elite and giving them very good information.
	And this is despicable.
	ISIS has now released a new video that is not another beheading video, thank God, but it is plainly aimed at an American audience.
	It's 52 seconds long.
	It appears to be sort of a trailer for a longer video of some kind, but we don't know that for sure.
	What they have released is this 52 seconds worth of propaganda video, and it is propaganda, absolutely.
	Now, mind you, no one has heard about this.
	No one is talking about it.
	You haven't heard about it.
	Nope.
	But here's Rachel Maddow telling us it's propaganda, and she's just not going to stop propagandizing you, the viewer, with this stupid video.
	But in terms of its newsworthiness, I think it is worth seeing, because it shows both what this group is capable of in terms of their skill at producing a message about themselves.
	But it also gives some indication as to what, strategically, they are trying to get Americans to feel.
	It's less than a minute.
	It's not gory.
	It is disturbing because it's a propaganda video.
	That's bullcrap, since when is a propaganda video, by definition, disturbing?
	And it's not.
	There's nothing disturbing.
	It's total bullcrap.
	But if you look at what they are trying to accomplish with this video here, you can sort of see their strategy in terms of what they want from the American people and the American government, how they want us to react to them.
	Excuse me, house frows out there who think they're middle class and a little above average in intelligence, please listen to me, because I'm telling you how you're supposed to think about this video.
	I am giving you it on a silver platter.
	Please consume my propagandistic message.
	That's essentially why ISIS just released this propaganda video.
	I have to tell you, there were two...
	She's stumbling now because they're throwing shit in the prompter and she's rereading something and they're...
	because she hasn't seen the video.
	...moments in which we think there were dead bodies visible in that footage, in this footage that we cut out, but other than that...
	They cut out the dead body, what they think might have been dead bodies.
	Please!
	This is pretty much what they released.
	Pretty much.
	This is the tape.
	Now she's going to narrate the tape.
	Part of the reaction to this video today has been about just how Hollywood their production values.
	Hollywood!
	Hollywood!
	This is high school level production.
	How slick they are with video and editing.
	And sound effects.
	If part of their success as a terrorist organization is conveying a message that's attractive to recruits around the world who then send them money or come fight with them, then it's helpful to know that they're really good at crafting their own message and making it look like Hollywood.
	Now, what is she doing here?
	Is she on script?
	Is she ad-libbing?
	Has she just gone insane?
	Sounds like she's gone off the rails.
	I mean, why can't she get to the point?
	She doesn't.
	This is what's crazy.
	Listen.
	But that, of course, is only one side of what they're doing.
	That's one side of their strategy to try to succeed on their own terms.
	So now she's going to tell us the strategy.
	Obviously, she's in the know.
	She's shown us this dumb video.
	That's right, yes.
	On the one hand, they need to build themselves up.
	They need to make themselves stronger and bigger and richer by attracting recruits and attracting supporters.
	But the other side of it is that they all...
	What did she just say?
	Stronger and richer and bigger?
	This is very disturbing talk.
	This is not Fox News.
	This is crazy nutjob leftist idiots.
	Also have to attack.
	Attack.
	They also have to try to make their enemies weaker.
	Yes.
	And they do that directly with force in the places they have taken territory in, in Iraq and Syria.
	They've just simply used military force to overwhelm rivals and local authorities and take over whole swaths of each of those countries.
	Whole swaths?
	They've not yet tried to launch a physical assault of any kind on the United States, but they do clearly think of the United States as their enemy.
	I mean, can you believe?
	This is all based on one little piece of stupid video.
	This is just insane.
	She has no data on this.
	She's just spouting off.
	And it's the professor's wife who watches her and says, oh, I would marry her if I was gay.
	This is the danger.
	Wow.
	And it just goes on and on.
	I can barely watch her anymore.
	But it doesn't stop, John.
	It just goes on.
	It's just fighting, and you're facing, you're facing, you're facing, you're facing, you're facing, and then all of a sudden it's...
	Coke, brother!
	That's all she does?
	Hmm.
	I don't know, man.
	Well, not much you can do about it.
	Not that many people.
	I mean, that show, let's face it, even though it is one of the highest rated shows on MSNBC, it still would be kicked off a fox.
	It's totally over.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's over.
	It's over.
	And the only other thing that was of interest...
	I don't understand why the Comcast guys just don't revamp MSNBC and say, look, this is not working.
	I think they're all afraid of touching it.
	Who can really make it work anymore?
	Shut it down.
	Shut the network down.
	Well, that's one way.
	I just don't see it.
	Not losing money.
	Well, maybe not.
	I can't believe it would not be losing money.
	I'm just not sure.
	Now that Comcast owns it, they don't have to pay for carriage on Comcast.
	They probably do have to do that just to make it look good.
	Maybe.
	Anyway, the House passed the House Resolution 24, which is the audit the Fed.
	Yeah, I know.
	Somehow, how I knew you would give that response.
	Well, at least some people care.
	They're trying to do something.
	Give him a little bit of credit.
	The idea is there.
	Well, John, thank you for changing your day.
	I don't know what you had in store, but I know you changed it.
	Yeah, I did.
	Yeah, me too.
	Report on the fire police officer who beheaded child's pet chicken.
	Story, I'll save it for Sunday.
	All right.
	I have a couple other things we could do.
	Good, good, good, good, good.
	So I'll see you on Saturday.
	Hello?
	Like Saturday?
	Like the day after tomorrow?
	Yes.
	Oh.
	Yeah.
	I fly out tomorrow.
	Send me some details about this thing.
	Where is it going to be?
	I have mailed this to you twice now.
	Ugh.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Adam Curry.
	I know the name.
	Search.
	You're a horrible man.
	Unbelievable.
	All right, everybody, I will be pre-checking my way to California tomorrow.
	Hopefully we'll have some power coming to you from the completely powerful FEMA Region 6.
	I'm in FEMA Region 6, aren't I? I don't remember.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, I think it's FEMA Region 9.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
